【After guessing Xia Ruobing’s resurrection ability, you were extremely terrified and frightened by this ability. Next, you chose not to leave but to continue attacking Xia Ruobing, attempting to probe further.】

    【You only exerted the power of the first level of the Spirit Origin Realm against Xia Ruobing. Faced with this level of power, Xia Ruobing still had no significant resistance and was directly killed by you.】

    【With this, you finally felt relieved. As long as Xia Ruobing isn’t strong, there are ways to deal with her. Perhaps, even Qin Tian alone might be able to kill her with this knowledge.】

    【Soon, Xia Ruobing was resurrected again, at the cost of Zhang Jun’s mysterious sudden death. You had another answer in your heart: fans close to Xia Ruobing are likely to become sacrificial dolls first.】

    【When you killed Xia Ruobing again, Qin Tian got angry. He summoned the Killing Formation, intending to attack you. You felt extremely speechless and decided not to hold back, intending to kill Qin Tian as well. You knew very well that this guy was beyond hope.】

    【However, when you attacked Qin Tian, a magical robe appeared on him, blocking your attack. At the same time, the Killing Formation activated, trapping you within. You felt endlessly speechless; you never expected this guy, Qin Tian, to become a useless teammate once again.】

    【Next, you used the Ancient Jade and Scarlet Clan’s Essence Blood to fight against the Killing Formation, attempting to break it. The terrifying collision of two forces destroyed everything beyond recognition, completely obliterating the entire metropolis.】

    【Using the secret technique of the Five Elements Fusion Technique, you enhanced the earth attribute Spirit Origin for defense, trying to block the terrifying impact formed by the collision of these two forces. But you failed. The collision of two forces strong enough to severely wound or even kill a Spirit Embryo Realm perfection stage cultivator was not something you could withstand.】

    【You died. Qin Tian was also blown apart in this explosion, leaving not even a trace. The protective magical robe couldn’t save him. As for Liu Mei, needless to say, as an ordinary person, she was the first to die.】

    【However, you revived thanks to the Rebirth Talisman. When you resurrected, the bare Xia Ruobing saw you, her gaze deep and she sighed.】

    【Due to being seen by Xia Ruobing, you were instantly charmed and became her loyal dog.】

    【What happened next in the metropolis caused a sensation, but as long as Xia Ruobing explained the beast’s city attack, no one doubted it. They only secretly resented the beast’s ferocity for daring to attack Xia Ruobing and Liu Mei, leading to Liu Mei’s tragic death and Xia Ruobing’s near-death.】

    【In the meantime, everyone was grateful to you for saving Xia Ruobing, elevating you to a hero in their minds, even above the strongest martial saint, Lin Zhan.】

    【In the following time, the world remained largely unchanged, entertainment flourished, and with Liu Mei’s death, Xia Ruobing once again became the world’s number one singer, holding various concerts until several years later when humanity perished.】

    【You died in the final concert. Before dying, you received a kiss from Xia Ruobing.】

    【Because of your death, this simulation ends.】

    ‘Still died. But at least I’ve uncovered all of Xia Ruobing’s secrets, and that counts as a way to break the deadlock.’

    Wang Ping let out a sigh, feeling much more relaxed.

    However, he recalled the last simulation content.

    The later plot was the same as the first simulation, but also different.

    Why did he receive a kiss from Xia Ruobing?

    This is really quite strange.

    If anything was different, it was that he killed Xia Ruobing a few more times.

    Could it be that killing her earns her bizarre affection?

    ‘Weird.’ Wang Ping muttered to himself.

    ‘Brother Wang, what’s wrong?’

    Seeing Wang Ping relaxing while looking puzzled, Qin Tian, Zhang Jun, Liu Mei, and Wang Shuqing all tensed up.

    ‘Nothing, I’ve found a way to break the deadlock.’

    Wang Ping snapped back to reality, smiling at everyone.

    ‘To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be this simple. Maybe, with the right information, even Qin Tian alone could handle her.’

    ‘However, you really know how to cause trouble. Once again, you’ve become a pig teammate, killing me once.’

    ‘Uh…’ Everyone was both surprised and puzzled.

    Then, Wang Ping glanced at Qin Tian again, smacking his lips.

    Wang Ping never expected that one day he would repeatedly die at the hands of his teammates.

    This guy’s trump cards are really strong.

    ‘Uh…’ Qin Tian was stunned again, feeling awkward under everyone’s strange gaze.

    ‘Damn it, what did I do this time?’

    Then, Wang Ping didn’t dilly-dally and directly disclosed the entire simulation content.

    ‘Goodness, as expected of Qin Tian, his trump cards are only used to deal with his own people.’

    After hearing it, Zhang Jun pouted.

    ‘Also, this guy must have hidden some good stuff. Each of his life-saving trump cards is more ruthless than the last.’

    Qin Tian’s face twitched, unable to retort…

    Although he had made a little insignificant contribution this time, compared to his mistakes, that contribution was really nothing.

    Continuously getting in the way while trying to help out was truly awkward.

    If he could temporarily hand over these trump cards to Wang Ping, such problems wouldn’t have occurred, and perhaps they could have cleared the level directly.

    “Brother Wang, I think it’d be best if this kid didn’t participate in missions during real operations, to avoid any more mishaps,” Zhang Jun proposed.

    “Makes sense.” Liu Mei’s gaze turned peculiar.

    The people of this world couldn’t threaten Wang Ping, even the most powerful Martial Saint, Lin Zhan, could be blown away if Wang Ping used his trump cards.

    As a result, the most significant threat to Wang Ping’s safety came from this kid, Qin Tian, which was both laughable and infuriating…

    “Having immense power but creating more trouble… This must be the first time, right?” Wang Shuqing laughed and teased.

    “Heh, I feel like this kid will be laughed at by everyone in the group.” Zhang Jun gloated and said, “Let’s see if he dares to show off again.”

    Qin Tian was ashamed beyond measure…

    “Stop teasing him.” Wang Ping smiled and shook his head. “Without Qin Tian, we might have needed two more simulations to figure everything out.”

    Although Qin Tian had caused trouble, getting himself killed twice, he followed orders and risked his life to test Xia Ruobing’s abilities. This was a significant advantage.

    Though he looked afraid of dying at first, he followed commands during critical moments and didn’t mess up.

    Of course, Wang Ping still thought that it would be better if Qin Tian didn’t keep his trump cards on him to avoid accidentally killing teammates.

    “Brother Wang…” Seeing Wang Ping defend him again, Qin Tian was extremely moved. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he wished he could come over and hug Wang Ping.

    “Let’s get down to business now.” Wang Ping, feeling disgusted by Qin Tian’s reaction, quickly cleared his throat and shifted the topic. “Same old rules, let’s analyze the intel.”

    “Xia Ruobing’s abilities are basically confirmed. Using Spiritual Sense, as long as you aren’t seen by her true form, you won’t be charmed. On the contrary, as long as she sees you with her eyes, or you see her, you’ll be charmed.”

    “Her strength isn’t formidable, at most equivalent to our world’s Innate Realm.”

    “Her revival ability is quite abnormal. Upon death, she will be replaced by one of her fans. Hence, to thoroughly kill her, you might need to kill all her fans, which means exterminating all humanity.”

    “Liu Mei, with a higher appearance level than Xia Ruobing, wasn’t charmed. It’s suspected that one won’t be affected by her abilities if they have a higher appearance level or more fans.”

    “Lastly, what was her purpose in meeting Liu Mei alone?”

    Wang Ping scanned everyone and shared his thoughts.

    “As long as we understand the principle behind her charm, we can basically avoid her charm ability.”

    Qin Tian started saying.

    “As Brother Wang said, maybe I can actually take her down alone.”

    “Give it up, Brother Wang was just talking casually. You took it seriously. Even if you had a chance, your success rate wouldn’t exceed ten percent.”

    Zhang Jun rolled his eyes and sneered.

    “To kill Xia Ruobing, you’d have to kill all her fans, exterminating all humanity. Can you achieve that? And she has a Martial Saint protecting her personally.”

    “Who says I can’t do it? As long as I use my trump cards, I can kill the Martial Saint, and then…”

    Qin Tian, feeling indignant, started to speak.

    However, by the end, his tone weakened.

    “And then what?” Zhang Jun said with a half-smile. “Keep killing Xia Ruobing? I feel like you’d tire yourself out. And Xia Ruobing has Innate Realm combat power. Without your trump cards, it’s questionable if you could beat her. Even if you can, how many times can you kill her?”

    “Even if she offered no resistance, are you sure you can take her away? Don’t forget this world has fierce beasts. Besides, everyone would then madly hunt you.”

    “I also doubt whether fierce beasts can be charmed. If they can be charmed… that result… tsk tsk…”

    Zhang Jun’s words were like daggers stabbing into Qin Tian’s heart, making his face flush red without a counter-argument.

    Because, halfway through his statement, he realized these issues, leading to the awkwardness.

    “Ah, Qin Tian can’t solve it. Brother Wang has a tough problem too. Could we really exterminate all humanity?”

    Liu Mei frowned and sighed.

    To be honest, even if she had the power, she couldn’t bring herself to exterminate all humanity.

    The weight of billions of lives was simply too immense.

    If she didn’t do this, she couldn’t think of another way to get rid of Xia Ruobing.

    After all, as long as her fans were not completely eradicated, Xia Ruobing would not die.

    The method of killing her over and over again was simple, just throw Xia Ruobing into the depths of the desolate sea.

    With the terrifying pressure there, even if Xia Ruobing had the combat power of the Innate Realm, she would be crushed to death repeatedly, resurrecting and dying endlessly, until humanity was extinct.

    But this method of clearing the level was too cruel.

    “It’s not necessarily needed.” Zhang Jun shook his head: “Don’t forget, within a short month after your debut, you stole most of her fans. Although these fans are likely just ordinary fans and haven’t been personally bewitched by her, it’s enough to greatly weaken her abilities.”

    “As long as you take all the ordinary fans, you can reduce the number of times you need to kill her. At that time, at most, only tens of thousands of people will die…”

    “But… do we really have to do this? Those bewitched by her might include ordinary people, but most of them must be warriors of this world. Furthermore, most of the mid to high-level combat power warriors of this world have probably been bewitched by her…”

    Qin Tian no longer felt embarrassed, his face turned heavy.

    “Once these people are extinct, we leave, and the people of this world are finished. Even if we don’t kill those ordinary people, they will be devoured by ferocious beasts.”

    With these words, the atmosphere on site became heavy.

    “What does it have to do with us?” Zhang Jun also put away his grin, his expression becoming stern, just like before.

    He coldly said, “We are just travelers, mere passersby in this world. If we don’t complete the task, we’ll all die. So, I don’t care about other people’s lives. The only thing I care about is our lives, that’s all.”

    “Zhang Jun, are you really this cold-blooded?!”

    Qin Tian widened his eyes, grabbing Zhang Jun by the collar, roaring.

    “Cold-blooded? Perhaps.” Zhang Jun calmly met Qin Tian’s gaze and said faintly, “But the weight of other people’s lives in my heart indeed cannot compare to that of my companions, regardless of whether it’s tens of thousands or hundreds of millions.”

    “You!” Qin Tian’s heart grew cold.

    “Qin Tian, if you don’t want him to beat you up, let go of him.”

    Finally, Wang Ping spoke.

    With these words, Qin Tian’s face changed subtly, but in the end, he let go of Zhang Jun and turned to avoid looking at him.

    Different paths do not lead to the same goal.

    “Zhang Jun, I appreciate that you prioritize your companions.” Wang Ping looked at Zhang Jun and smiled lightly, “However, you seem to have forgotten that Wang Shuqing is also a person of this world. If the human warriors of this world perish, Wang Shuqing will also follow them to the grave.”

    With these words, Wang Shuqing, who had remained silent, cast a grateful glance at Wang Ping.

    Zhang Jun was also stunned and then looked at Wang Shuqing.

    Because Wang Shuqing’s presence was so insignificant, he had overlooked this point.

    However, if sacrifices were needed to complete the task, he would still choose to do so without hesitation.

    He didn’t know Wang Shuqing, the newcomer, well and couldn’t connect with him.

    But Wang Ping was different.

    Wang Ping had saved his life, was his benefactor, and was of the utmost importance in his heart.

    Moreover, Wang Ping’s life was more valuable than anyone else’s.

    Not to mention the lives of strangers from another world, even the lives of anyone in the chat group were not as precious as Wang Ping’s.

    If something happened to Wang Ping and a new task appeared, the chat group members might all die.

    The current group members would die, and future members who joined would die too.

    Group tasks were that dangerous. Without Wang Ping’s Golden Finger, the difficulty of handling the tasks would be too overwhelming. There might be someone to lead the members in the future, but the number of times the team would face annihilation would not be few.

    Even if they didn’t face annihilation, it wouldn’t be possible to escape every time without losses, keeping casualties to a minimum.

    The Golden Finger, which foretells the future, is a necessary power.

    “I missed him. I can apologize to him.”

    Zhang Jun looked at Wang Shuqing and sighed.

    “However, I don’t think I said anything wrong. The world is this cruel, and lives are indeed ranked. Some are as light as a feather, while others are as heavy as Mount Tai.”

    Qin Tian said nothing, refusing to look at Zhang Jun.

    Liu Mei also kept silent. As a long-time member of the group who had witnessed the deaths of too many new members, call it selfishness or pragmatism, she agreed more with Zhang Jun’s words.
