124 – A Battle That Shocked the World
by spirapiraAt the moment when the Director of the Spiritual Power Bureau was troubled, a sudden knock on the door resounded.
“Come in.”
The Director of the Spiritual Power Bureau’s expression returned to normal as he spoke.
The door was pushed open, and his deputy walked in with Wang Ping.
The Director of the Spiritual Power Bureau looked at Wang Ping and slightly hesitated, not knowing who Wang Ping was and why his deputy would personally bring him over.
“Old Zhang, who is this young man?”
The Director of the Spiritual Power Bureau stood up, somewhat surprised, and asked.
“My name is Wang Ping. I am a Transmigratorfrom another world, coming to see you for a particular purpose.”
The deputy did not answer Wang Ping’s question but left with a bewildered look, closing the door, while Wang Ping spoke nonchalantly.
“Transmigration?”
The Director of the Spiritual Power Bureau frowned, his gaze turning strange.
The way his deputy acted just now indicated he had been hypnotized or controlled.
Since the other party could pull off such a thing within the Spiritual Power Bureau, it showed that his abilities had already reached a level where he could disregard all the various awakened ones within the Bureau.
However, since the other party did not seem to have any harmful intentions, the Director of the Spiritual Power Bureau did not fear him.
Wang Ping’s words were indeed somewhat subtle and unacceptable for the Director.
Noticing the Director’s gaze, Wang Ping did not say much. His figure flashed, and he casually performed a hand seal, inputting a series of information directly into the Director’s mind.
This method was much simpler and more direct than words.
Wang Ping didn’t want to waste too much breath on this matter.
“Transmigrators… world-destroying monsters.”
After receiving the newly added information in his mind, the Director of the Spiritual Power Bureau was extremely shocked. Although he still had many doubts about Wang Ping’s words, he chose to believe about seventy percent.
“If you are a cultivator from another world, I have an unreasonable request.”
The Director hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“You want a cultivation method. I can give it to you.”
Wang Ping looked at him and spoke lightly.
“However, in return, you must focus on cultivating one of my juniors in the future. This world has always worked on the principle of equivalent exchange. For what I give you, you must provide corresponding resources to nurture her.”
For Wang Ping, giving out a cultivation method was not a big deal.
Even if he didn’t give it, he believed Zhao Sihan would also bring out cultivation methods from the chat group once she learned about the world’s difficulties.
Therefore, it was better for him to give it out now and instruct the Director of the Spiritual Power Bureau on a few matters to get more resources and protection for his junior transmigrator.
Although this world had only just started to revive its spiritual energy, Wang Ping did not underestimate its potential.
Perhaps this world had high potential; it was just in its initial stage.
As for whether this world would go astray because of the cultivation system he provided, that was not his concern.
Even if it went astray, if a better system suitable for this world appeared in the future, they could switch to it. He believed in the wisdom of future generations in this world.
The cultivation system he provided was just for them to get through the initial difficult years.
“Thank you very much!”
The Director of the Spiritual Power Bureau showed a grateful expression.
“So, what kind of cultivation system do you want?”
Wang Ping smiled slightly and asked.
“Uh, are there many kinds?”
The Director of the Spiritual Power Bureau showed a shocked expression.
In their world, it was incredibly tough to explore one cultivation system, and Wang Ping actually knew multiple systems?
However, the Director soon realized he had asked a stupid question.
The man before him was a transmigrator, a savior from different worlds. How could he only know one power system?
“Sorry, I asked too much,” the Director of the Spiritual Power Bureau apologized with a bitter smile.
“Your purpose for finding me is not just these things, right?”
The Director asked seriously.
He wouldn’t believe Wang Ping came to him just to teach martial arts and seek benefits for his junior transmigrators in this world.
“Tomorrow, a monster will appear in your world. The humans in the city where it appears will all transform into monsters. The monster itself possesses terrifying power sufficient to flatten an international metropolis or even a whole mountain range with one strike. Your world’s humans cannot match it, even with nuclear weapons.”
Wang Ping nodded and said calmly.
“Our purpose in coming to this world is to eliminate it.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the expression of the Director of the Spiritual Power Bureau changed instantly, cold sweat pouring down his face.
No wonder a transmigrator like Wang Ping would appear in this world; so this is the reason.
A creature capable of destroying an entire mountain range with one blow could indeed be described as astonishing.
Facing such a monster, humanity at this stage is indeed incapable of dealing with it.
“Therefore, my purpose in seeking you out is to have you evacuate the humans from that city in advance, to prevent them from being mutated into monsters. Then, I’ll handle the monster.”
Wang Ping looked at the Director of the Spiritual Power Bureau, speaking as if it were as natural as breathing.
“On behalf of all humanity, I thank you for coming from afar to eliminate the monster for our world.”
The Director of the Spiritual Power Bureau took a deep breath, saluted Wang Ping solemnly, and said seriously.
“Mm.” Wang Ping nodded and said with a light smile, “Director, you wouldn’t mind the destruction of a city, would you?”
The Director’s expression stiffened, and his face was full of a bitter smile.
Although he really wanted to say that he minded, very much so.
The destruction of a large metropolis would cause enormous economic losses and render countless people homeless.
However, considering the terror of the monster, and the fact that Wang Ping was also risking his life to fight it, if he said he minded and pleaded with Wang Ping to try to relocate the battleground, it would be somewhat inappropriate.
“Feel free to fight with all your might; you don’t need to worry about the destruction of a city.”
The Director sighed.
“Then there are no problems.”
Wang Ping nodded in satisfaction.
Afterward, Wang Ping left the inheritance of some cultivation systems before departing.
At the same time, Wang Ping also mentioned the matter of Zhao Sihan.
With the Director of the Spiritual Power Bureau around, Zhao Sihan’s future days should be quite comfortable.
Of course, Wang Ping wouldn’t kindly let Zhao Sihan just lie down and rest.
Although he doesn’t wish for group members to die, as each member is a valuable combat force and can continuously earn group points for him, he also won’t tolerate Zhao Sihan lying down and resting.
If that were the case, all his efforts would have been in vain.
“So many cultivation systems, which path should I take?”
After Wang Ping left, the Director of the Spiritual Power Bureau faced a dilemma.
“Yes, I should take them all.”
The Director made his decision.
Next, the Director began to take action.
All residents of H City, where Lin Qiuqiu was located, were notified to evacuate the city with the cooperation of the military.
For a while, it caused a massive uproar.
After all, at this moment, the matter of spiritual energy revival had already been revealed. Everyone was somewhat apprehensive about the future.
And the official’s sudden large-scale action to evacuate city residents understandably caused much speculation.
Nationwide panic was inevitable.
Even the world’s attention was focused on H City, with leaders of various countries starting to contact the Profound Nation, questioning what they had discovered.
However, Wang Ping did not care about what was happening in this world. They still remained in the high-rise buildings of H City, quietly waiting for the monster from the Abyssal Lands to appear.
At the same time, they looked down upon the city, watching tens of millions of people evacuate one after another, feeling quite emotional.
In the face of a crisis, ordinary humans are indeed too insignificant, only able to go with the flow.
This was the result of their intervention; otherwise, all these people would have died.
As the sun set and rose, the second day arrived, with bright sunlight shining upon the city.
What was once a bustling and lively H City had now become empty and silent to the extreme, no longer as bustling as before, like a ghost town.
At this moment, countless eyes were focused on H City.
And satellites from various countries were also silently watching, wanting to see what exactly would happen in H City.
“Meow”
Zhao Sihan, in the arms of the evacuated Lin Qiuqiu, meowed nervously, watching the live broadcast.
She was now very weak and would only hinder, so Wang Ping had her leave with Lin Qiuqiu.
“Brother Wang, it seems there are still people who haven’t evacuated.”
Qin Tian looked down at the city, his powerful Spiritual Sense scanning the area, frowning as he spoke.
“Even with the military deployment, evacuating tens of millions of people in a day is still very difficult. They’ve done well enough. Those who remain are the ones who don’t believe in the supernatural and refuse to leave. Therefore, they will lose their lives here.”
Wang Ping’s expression was calm as he slowly spoke.
Qin Tian nodded without saying much.
“Crack!”
At that moment, the sky shattered like glass, as if a terrifying monster had broken through the spatial barrier of this world, trying to force its way in.
This horrifying scene caused everyone watching the satellite broadcast to turn pale and show expressions of fear.
“Has it begun?”
The Director of the Spiritual Power Bureau took a deep breath and murmured to himself.
Evacuating tens of millions from a city is no small task, especially now, with the resurgence of spiritual energy and frequent appearances of mutated beasts in the wild, making it even more troublesome.
To accomplish these tasks, he had borne considerable pressure.
Now, things were happening just as Wang Ping had predicted, and he felt somewhat relieved.
However, with the actual appearance of the monster invasion, he could only hope that Wang Ping could slay it; otherwise, humanity would be doomed.
This was also why he arranged for the satellite broadcast.
This kind of thing couldn’t be hidden.
Since it couldn’t be concealed, it was better to openly broadcast it globally via satellite, letting everyone see the hope.
Although Wang Ping and the others would eventually leave, as long as Wang Ping appeared and killed such a terrifying monster, it would reassure all of humanity.
Humans have powerful individuals, invincible ones. Even with the fierce resurgence of spiritual energy, humanity’s foundation can still stand firm like Mount Tai.
In chaotic times, having hope is genuinely important. Only with hope will human malice not erupt, and miracles can be created.
“Has it come?” Wang Ping squinted, staring at the sky, feeling the terrifying aura leaking from the spatial rift, and murmured to himself.
“Qin Tian, set up the formation. Chen Si, prepare to use the Golden Finger. Ye Xiaofan, just in case, prepare for a bloodletting.”
Wang Ping instructed the three.
Ye Xiaofan had a Sacred Body, with an extremely terrifying resistance to curses. Theoretically, his blood could affect curses too.
Therefore, he didn’t have Ye Xiaofan leave like Zhao Sihan.
“Understood.” The three replied sequentially.
Qin Tian took out a powerful formation disk and activated it, its range covering the area, isolating the aura.
Ye Xiaofan directly cut his artery, letting his blood flow.
Chen Si, sweating nervously from his palms, was ready to use the power of the Golden Finger at any moment.
“Crack!”
At that moment, the sky shattered completely.
Under the global spotlight, a monstrous creature, fifty meters long, shrouded in black mist, appeared in the sky.
Right after its appearance, some people in the city saw this terrifying scene, directly cursed, grew scales or black fur all over, and were mutated into ugly monsters, roaring loudly.
With the roars of these mutated monsters, the ground cracked, and the tall buildings’ glass shattered.
Some people were even mutated inside the buildings, bursting with power and destroying the skyscrapers, causing them to collapse.
Those watching the live broadcast turned pale, showing expressions of disbelief.
The gigantic monster hadn’t even made a move… just seeing it turned people into monsters, and these human-transformed monsters had unimaginable strength, capable of easily destroying a skyscraper.
At this moment, everyone felt their scalps tingle, their faces pale, and a sense of fear in their hearts.
Be they ordinary people, awakened ones, or elites from various countries, they all felt the same.
“Chen Si, do it.”
Wang Ping saw that although Chen Si had her eyes closed, she seemed frightened by the monster’s roar and couldn’t help but shout.
“I… I know.” Chen Si bit her lip and, following the position Wang Ping had imprinted in her mind, quickly used the Golden Finger toward the sky.
In an instant, a massive halo appeared in the sky, covering the Abyssal Hound.
In a flash, the Abyssal Hound’s aura dropped by half.
“Directly reducing the enemy’s strength by half… too overpowered.” Qin Tian, with his eyes closed, sensed the monster’s aura and muttered.
Wang Ping ignored Qin Tian’s nonsense and shot straight into the sky, confronting the Abyssal Hound.
The Abyssal Hound was initially stunned that its power was suddenly halved, but upon noticing Wang Ping, it instantly calmed down. Its malicious eyes locked onto Wang Ping, radiating a terrifying killing intent…
“An enforcer of the Chaotic Order? Your senses are even sharper than mine… To know in advance that I would come…”
The Abyssal Hound roared, speaking human words.
“There’s nothing to say to a monster like you… Die.”
Wang Ping said coldly.
He mobilized the Five Elements Spiritual Essence within him, converting it into fire-element Spiritual Essence. Grasping the Skyocean Staff, he swung it forcefully.
Great Perfection Sword Intent intertwined with his strike, and Wang Ping executed the Sunset Sword Technique. It was as if a great sun had descended, intent on obliterating everything.
“Aow! Human, do you think that by suppressing half my power, you can contend with me?”
Faced with Wang Ping’s attack, the Abyssal Hound roared and swung a giant claw shrouded in black mist towards Wang Ping.
In an instant, the giant claw collided with the sun. The Abyssal Hound’s claw was scorched and cut by the intertwined sword energy.
However, its regenerative power was astonishing, and the injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yet, the clash generated a terrifying shockwave that swept across the surroundings.
Under this horrifying shockwave, the clouds scattered, and the explosive noise rippled outward in waves.
As for the city below, it was horrifically affected, instantly razed to the ground, with all lifeforms instantly perishing.
Not only was the city destroyed, but even the areas outside the city were affected.
Fortunately, Qin Tian and others had fled early. Otherwise, they too would have been caught in the aftermath. Even with a barrier, they would have been in dire straits.
At this moment, humans around the world watching the live broadcast were all terrified into silence.
The world was unprecedentedly quiet. Everyone observing the scene was too scared to speak.
A large city was instantly destroyed.
This was not a small town but an international metropolis.
Such a city was destroyed so effortlessly, and it wasn’t even intentional on the part of the combatants. It was just the aftermath of their battle.
This completely shattered humanity’s worldview.
Nuclear weapons, once humanity’s pride, seemed utterly powerless in the face of this kind of force.
They doubted whether nuclear weapons could even kill this kind of monster.
Probably not…
All at once, the complaints from people who had been evacuated from City H vanished, leaving only relief in their hearts.
Thankfully, they had left…
Otherwise, they would have either turned into monsters or been flattened along with the city, with no remains left.
“Is this really a power that humans can possess?”
The director of the Spiritual Power Bureau was shocked, mumbling to himself.
Then, he recalled the various cultivation systems Wang Ping had given him, his heart ablaze with excitement.
With such power, what are mutant beasts compared to it? Humanity will usher in its most glorious era!
“As expected of a monster from the Abyssal Lands, this strength is indeed formidable. Even with Weakness imposed and only half its strength left, it’s not easily killed…”
Wang Ping unleashed his formidable combat power, clashing with it, his eyes shining with battle spirit.
To be honest, he rarely had real-life duels.
Therefore, his combat experience wasn’t extensive.
This time, he could enjoy a thorough battle.
However, using a staff to perform sword techniques was somewhat inconvenient.
Indeed, he needed to get a sword-type Profound Weapon as soon as possible. Otherwise, his combat power would be restricted.
“Human, is this the extent of your power? With just this strength, you dream of killing me?”
The Abyssal Hound mocked Wang Ping, trying to provoke him into losing his composure.
“Heh, no need to provoke me… I’ll finish you off right now…”
Wang Ping sneered.
He then directly used a secret technique from the Five Elements Fusion Technique.
First Style of the Five Elements Fusion Technique: Phase of the Five Elements.
In an instant, the intensity of Wang Ping’s fire-element Spiritual Essence increased exponentially, and his attack power multiplied several times.
“Aow!”
Sensing danger, the Abyssal Hound roared and ceased using its strong physique to clash head-on with Wang Ping. Instead, it fired a thick black beam of light from its mouth, colliding fiercely with Wang Ping’s move.
In an instant, a terrifying explosion swept across the area. The ground began to sink, and mountains and lands within a larger radius were shattered, presenting an apocalyptic scene.
This sight made countless people’s scalps tingle.
Wang Ping’s body turned golden, with Spiritual Essence protecting him, safeguarding him from the explosion’s aftershock.
Simultaneously, Wang Ping used another trump card, directly activating the Five Elements Spiritual Body, making his strength even more formidable.
He stepped on the second form of the Draconic Phantom Steps · World-Traversing Inch, seemingly crossing space, appearing before the Abyssal Hound. He struck down fiercely with his staff towards its massive head.
The Abyssal Hound didn’t expect Wang Ping to explode with such astonishing speed and couldn’t dodge in time, taking Wang Ping’s blow head-on. Its brain caved in significantly, cracks sounded, and huge burning sword marks appeared.
Following that, his entire body was slammed into the ground, creating a huge crater.
“Human, you have angered me! Don’t think your speed gives you an advantage…”
The enraged Abyssal Hound’s body began to shrink, reducing to about five meters long. It transformed into a black light, charging at Wang Ping.
Wang Ping sneered, using the first form of the Heaven-level low-grade movement technique · Draconic Phantom Steps · Draconic Afterimage, instantly creating numerous indistinguishable afterimages, causing the Abyssal Hound’s actions to halt.
It tried to use its nose to find Wang Ping’s true form, but Wang Ping had anticipated this, masking his scent.
“Since I can’t differentiate the real from the fake, I’ll just destroy them all!”
The Abyssal Hound roared in frustration, forming numerous evil hound copies from black mist, pouncing on Wang Ping’s afterimages.
However, after using this move, its energy was greatly consumed, and its aura weakened significantly.
“Heh…”
Just when the Abyssal Hound employed this move, Wang Ping seized the flaw and attacked again.
This time, Wang Ping directly used the second secret technique of the Five Elements Fusion Technique · Five Elements Unite, boosting his combat strength to the highest.
Then, he used his most powerful move.
In an instant, he unleashed the Blood Demon Nine Shadows Sword, and nine blood-colored sword auras appeared, striking the Abyssal Hound, tearing its body apart.
The Blood Demon Nine Shadows Sword, a Heaven-level high-grade martial skill, possessed greater destructive power and the ability to corrode Spiritual Essence.
It could corrode Spiritual Essence, but not just that. Most energies fell within its corrosion range, with varying degrees of effectiveness.
The Abyssal Hound’s protective energy was weakened as well.
Thus, its body was directly torn apart by Wang Ping, shredded into several pieces. Its life force gradually disappeared.
“Foolish savior, don’t think killing me will ensure this world’s safety. Now that the coordinates are exposed, countless invaders will come, whether from my Abyssal Lands or other forces. Big figures may disdain descending to such a world, but for beings at our level, it’s a treasure trove…”
The Abyssal Hound showed no sign of despair even in its final moments, staring fixedly at Wang Ping and roaring.
“Noisy.” Wang Ping frowned and smashed its head entirely with his staff.
To be safe, Wang Ping also dealt another blow, completely burning its body to ashes.
“Ding, the invading anomaly from the Abyss is dead. Group task completed, rewards have been distributed individually. All group members can claim their rewards on the group rewards page.”
“Ding, group task completed. All group members can silently chant ‘return’ in their mind to return to their world. If they do not return within twenty-four hours, the System will forcibly send them back to their original world.”
Hearing the prompt in his mind, Wang Ping smiled.
Once the task completion prompt sounded, Wang Ping was certain the creature was entirely dead. Otherwise, it would surely still be lurking.
‘I wonder how many group points I can get this time. Only with enough group points can I hope to condense a flawless Profound Elixir,’ Wang Ping’s eyes twinkled as he thought to himself.
Qin Tian and the others also heard the System’s prompt, showing delighted expressions.
Especially Qin Tian, who was all smiles.
Indeed, it was delightful to participate in missions with Brother Wang. Even if I didn’t contribute much, I could still earn some group points.
Accumulating them bit by bit, his future was promising!
Next, Wang Ping had no intention of returning immediately. Instead, he went to find Zhao Sihan and Lin Qiuqiu, planning to discuss the matter of the Director of the Spirit Power Bureau, so they would be mentally prepared for elite training and not waste the resources he had secured for them.
Meanwhile, people around the world also saw Wang Ping killing the monster through the satellite broadcast, each one sighed in relief. They were in awe of Wang Ping but also filled with excitement and hope.
The power displayed by Wang Ping and the monster had already made them comparable to the gods in mythology.
If they could reach such a level after the revival of spiritual energy, just the thought was exhilarating.
They were on the brink of a brand new era.
Of course, ordinary people were excited and thrilled after the shock, but the top officials in various countries felt differently.
The emergence of such a monstrous strong being in the Profound Nation at this time was not good news for them.
“Thank you, Brother Wang, we will definitely work hard!”
After listening to Wang Ping, Lin Qiuqiu thanked him earnestly, full of admiration.
Wang Ping saved her world, and helped her secure so many resources. She truly respected and appreciated him from the bottom of her heart.
Of course, Lin Qiuqiu understood that all Wang Ping did was actually for Zhao Sihan; she was merely benefiting from his generosity.
For a moment, Lin Qiuqiu felt incredibly lucky.
Her brother was a super powerful Awakened, the stray calico kitten she adopted turned out to be a transmigrators, and she even gained the cultivation of her transmigrator predecessor.
“Your world ultimately needs you to protect it yourselves. We can’t always be here in advance. So, strive to become stronger, and don’t just play around aimlessly.”
Wang Ping appeared to be talking to Lin Qiuqiu and Zhao Sihan, but really, his words were aimed at Zhao Sihan.
If Zhao Sihan continued living so aimlessly and didn’t show the value of her Golden Finger, Wang Ping wouldn’t strive to secure resources for her in the future; she would be of no worth to nurture at all.
When it really comes down to it, if there were no group missions and Zhao Sihan encountered danger in this world, Wang Ping doubted anyone in the chat group would spend thousands of group points to come and save her.
As for accidental death, even fewer would spend so many group points to revive her.
This world is very realistic, especially in places like the Transmigrator Chat Group. You must show your value.
Wang Ping could give newcomers one or two chances, secure resources for them, and help them become strong quickly, but he wouldn’t nurture someone useless.
“I… I understand.” Lin Qiuqiu said somewhat embarrassedly, while Zhao Sihan nodded, feeling a bit ashamed.
Indeed, after being adopted post-transmigration, she hadn’t developed her Golden Finger nor thought about becoming stronger. She had only been signing in, enhancing herself, and playing around every day.
Honestly, if the Abyssal Lands monsters hadn’t suddenly appeared, triggering the group mission, Zhao Sihan thought she would have continued to live aimlessly.
Wang Ping nodded slightly without saying more, silently reciting the return command in his heart.
Then, Wang Ping’s figure disappeared, returning to his original world.
Qin Tian and the others also left this world one after another.
After Wang Ping returned, he immediately opened his group mission red packet.
“Ding! Congratulations, your contribution to this mission is 80%, rewarding you with 400,000 group points.”
“Ding! As you are the acting group leader, congratulations on receiving an additional 50,000 group points.”
“A total of 450,000… Not bad.”
Wang Ping looked at the group points reward and nodded in satisfaction.
Although, without Chen Si, he could have risked his life to complete the mission and enjoy all the rewards alone.
But that was unnecessary.
After all, completing the mission that way would consume a precious Rebirth Talisman.
Besides, he would suffer from curses and severe injuries.
Therefore, Chen Si’s existence and contribution were necessary.
“Now, with over 1,050,000 group points, I wonder if that’s enough to help me condense a flawless Profound Elixir.”
Wang Ping’s eyes flickered with thought.
However, Wang Ping didn’t intend to break through immediately. Instead, he opened the chat page to see the group’s situation.
Qin Tian (77): “Another ten thousand group points… I feel so good! Following Brother Wang, you really get to enjoy the best.”
Ye Xiaofan (74): “I envy you. I only got the basic reward of 1,000 group points.”
Zhao Sihan (87): “I also got the basic reward of 1,000 group points (#^.^#).”
Qin Tian (77) @ Chen Si (83): “Chen Si, how many group points did you get this time?”
Chen Si (83): “Looks like around 90,000… ”
Qin Tian (77): “90,000…! So envious! This kind of support Golden Finger is really nice. Even in high-level missions, it can be useful and earn a lot of contribution points!”
Chen Si (83): “But… Reviving my brother requires 200,000 group points. Feels tough. (sad.jpg)”
Wang Ping (66) @ Chen Si (83): “200,000 group points, considering how long Chen Kang has been dead, that’s not much. Of course, that’s also because Chen Kang was an ordinary person. Otherwise, it would be a lot more. But don’t lose hope. With your Golden Finger, participate in a few more group missions, and you’ll definitely save up 200,000 group points. Then, you can revive your brother.”
Zhang Jun (70): “Silently popping in. As expected of Brother Wang, completing the group mission so quickly. But I still advise you, Chen Si, to save group points while also using them to grow stronger. Otherwise, even with a Golden Finger, you might drag the group mission down if you stay an ordinary person for too long.”
Fang Yun (3): “Zhang Jun might sound cold, but he’s right. Getting stronger is the most important thing!”
Cai Yonglong (1): “Fang Yun, there’s no need to diss Zhang Jun like that. And indeed, becoming stronger is crucial. Fang Yun knows this well, given how tragically he died last time.”
Fang Yun (3): “Damn, Cai Yonglong, you’ve stopped loving me, to say that about me.”
Cai Yonglong (1): “Get lost, when did I ever love you? Don’t come here with your rotten antics and offend people’s eyes, thanks.”
Chen Si (83): “Thank you for your advice, everyone. I’ll work hard to get stronger!”
Wang Ping (66) @ Chen Si (83): “Don’t waste group points on directly boosting combat power. As an eighth-grade alchemist, I’ll cover your initial cultivation resources. I can also refine some bone-enhancing pills for you.”
Wu Yueming (79): “Hiss, Brother Wang is so generous!”
Xu Yi (84): “So envious!”
Cai Yonglong (1): “Brother Wang is grooming Chen Si as his exclusive support, huh? Considering Chen Si’s abilities, that makes a lot of sense!”
Fang Yun (3): “Darn, I hate that I’m not a girl or a support-type Golden Finger.”
Fang Yun (3): “Brother Wang, do you like men? If it’s you, Brother Wang, I wouldn’t say no.”
Cai Yonglong (1): “Fang Yun, are you obsessed with getting stronger to a pathological degree? Stop it, you’re scaring your old man here.”
Wang Ping (66): “Scram. First, ten minutes of mute, then say something so disgusting again, and it’s a day of mute.”
With a forehead full of black lines, Wang Ping directly muted Fang Yun for ten minutes.
Wu Jun (20): “By the way, Brother Wang, did you forget something? Grievance.jpg…”
Seeing Wu Jun’s message, Wang Ping was initially taken aback and then felt a bit embarrassed.
Darn, he promised to let Wu Jun participate in the group task but ended up forgetting.
Wang Ping (66): “Ahem, I accidentally forgot. But no worries, next time for sure… next time for sure I’ll bring you.”
Wu Jun (20): “‘Next time for sure’ sounds kinda fishy…”
Qin Tian (77): “Hahaha, next time isn’t even guaranteed!”
Liu Mei (15): “Brother Wang, you finished the task too? So fast!”
Wang Ping (66): “Liu Mei, how’s your situation there? Did you charm the Reincarnators?”
Liu Mei (15): “Yes, I successfully completed the group mission, although I didn’t manage to eliminate them, the chat group still confirmed I completed it. However, those Reincarnators are quite tricky… Despite being only two-star level, their coordinated abilities gave four-star me a headache.”
Wang Ping (66): “I see, didn’t you use your charm ability in the beginning?”
Liu Mei (15): “Yeah, I originally thought I could use them to gain some combat experience. But they ended up making a mess of things for me.”
Wang Ping (66): “Four-star against a two-star team should be a crushing victory. You might have been a bit embarrassed, but in the end, you still managed to crush them with sheer strength. Of course, this doesn’t negate the synergy of the Reincarnator team. After all, Reincarnators are dancing on the edge of a blade; they don’t rely on individual heroism but on the synergistic abilities that strengthen the entire team.”
Ye Xiaofan (75): “Brother Wang is right. Although we haven’t encountered Reincarnators yet, ordinary Reincarnators aren’t individually strong except for a few loners. They have obvious weaknesses but are formidable in groups, even capable of punching above their weight.”
Liu Mei (15): “True, their abilities did make me a bit embarrassed initially, but in the end, brute force was enough to deal with them. However, even an ordinary three-star trying to take them on might face backlash.”
Wang Ping (66): “Exactly. Speaking of, it’s surprising that charm also counts as completing a group task.”
Liu Mei (15): “When Reincarnators return to the Lord God’s Space, they typically have all their abnormal spells and abilities cleared to prevent infiltration. But my charm ability, stemming from an anomaly, is higher-level than ordinary charm and might evade the usual detection by the Lord God’s Space. That’s possibly why the chat group deemed my task completed.”
Wang Ping was stunned, finding the reasoning sound.
Then, Wang Ping couldn’t help but ask in his mind, “Alpha, is that the case?”
Alpha’s cold voice resounded, “Abilities come in various strengths. And anomalous abilities are of extreme high-level; ordinary abilities can’t compare. Thus, the routine checks in the Lord God’s Space can’t detect them.”
“Of course, if the Lord God’s Space conducts extraordinary checks, they might still find the anomalies.”
Alpha paused, then explained.
“I see. So, you plan to plant a pawn in the Lord God’s Space through Liu Mei? But doesn’t that mean Liu Mei’s working for free, you’re quite merciless.”
Wang Ping’s expression grew strange.
“First of all, I don’t have a heart, so there’s no such thing as being heartless.”
Alpha’s icy voice rang out.
“Secondly, the anomalous source within her was supposed to be reclaimed. However, seeing that her awakened talent suited this ability perfectly, I spent considerable effort and wasted much anomalous essence to dissect it and bestow a portion to her.”
Alpha said coldly.
“You think all group members can obtain anomalous abilities? That’s wishful thinking.”
“I see.”
Wang Ping nodded in relief.
It appeared that anomalous abilities weren’t something everyone could get; they had been overthinking it initially.
Subsequently, Wang Ping @ed group members like Chen Yao who were on a mission. Discovering that they hadn’t yet detected the Reincarnators and it would still take some time to complete the task, he decided to go quiet.
This time, having earned so many group points and obtained the Heart of Nirvana, he should also consider breaking through to the Profound Elixir Realm.
“System, I want to start a paid simulation.”
Wang Ping spoke in his mind.
“Ding, payment successful, life simulation starting, talent refreshing…”
The System’s voice sounded.
“Ding, congratulations, host, on successfully refreshing a red talent…”
