Xiao Baihong stood on her hands from the ceiling, her excited expression stiffening slightly.
"Please present your identification imdiately."
All the robots raised the guns in their hands, aiming at him.
He looked at Wu Xiaode, then back at the robots, and it dawned on him.
"They’re actually robots, that’s just fantastic."
He dropped down from the ceiling and walked up to the robots, examining their structure closely before continuing:
"Honestly, I’m an Awakener, do you think I need identification?"
Wu Xiaode covered his face.
The leading silver robot chambered a bullet, saying icily:
"Awakener... what is that? No matter who you are, you need a legal form of identification."
Xiao Baihong widened her eyes and glanced at Wu Xiaode again.
Wu Xiaode shook his head.
——There’s no such thing as an Awakener in this world, dear.
Xiao Baihong then laughed again and said, "I’m an assassin from Wusi Country, a nobody. Are you going to go after ?"
Rat-a-tat-tat-a-tat!
All the machine guns targeted him, spewing flas.
Xiao Baihong had anticipated this and turned into a gust of wind, blasting out of the bar and flying into the sky; in an instant, she was far away.
Wu Xiaode said silently, "Chase after him, obscure his tracks, and make him co back."
Rester’s voice erged in his heart: "Right away."
A gust of wind sounded outside the bar.
As for the robots—
They all stayed put.
"A flying person—quite rare, inform headquarters imdiately to send more hands for the chase."
The silver robot said, striding out of the bar.
"Hold on!" Wu Xiaode suddenly said.
The robot looked back at him.
"You’ve wrecked my bar like this; don’t you owe so money?" Wu Xiaode spread his hands out and said.
The recent barrage had riddled the building with holes, nearly turning it into a ruin.
After a brief silence, the robot responded:
"We have collected all construction material prices and assessed the damage from the battle, and compensation will be made according to the Wusi Country compensation sche."
Ding!
Wu Xiaode’s phone rang.
He picked it up and saw a ssage:
"Based on your identification, a relevant international bank account has been created, and ’376,541’ universal currency has been transferred into it:"
"Download the international bank APP and complete registration to access the funds."
Not bad.
When it cos to social order and rules, the "Conservative Faction" is indeed comndable.
"All right, many thanks. You may go now."
Wu Xiaode shrugged.
The robots left the bar, boarded a flying shuttle quickly, and went off to pursue Xiao Baihong.
A few breaths passed.
Xiao Baihong snuck in through the back door of the bar, poured herself a drink at the front desk, and said with excitent:
"These robots are so much fun, can I take one apart to play with?"
"Don’t bother with them for now. They must be connected to the central intelligence of Dongsheng Country. Once you touch them, Dongsheng Country will mark you as a target to be pursued relentlessly," Wu Xiaode said.
"What will they do?"
"Nuclear weapons."
"Then forget it," Xiao Baihong imdiately discarded the idea.
He sighed and said, "If I could complete the Level 20 Storm Trial, maybe I could escape faster. That way, I might even get out of the blast radius of the nuclear bombs."
"Take your ti," Wu Xiaode said.
"That’s true, there’s still plenty of ti," Xiao Baihong said.
The two n raised their glasses and clinked them together.
Xiao Baihong looked at the badge in his hand and said:
"This thing was hidden behind a bunch of brightly colored treasure chests, stuck in a crevice in the wall, easy to miss if you’re not looking closely. Lucky for , a treasure-hunting genius with exceptional talent like myself was able to find it."
"Seems like a quite a find," Wu Xiaode agreed.
The door on the second floor opened.
Shen Feixue poked her head out, looking at Wu Xiaode with questioning eyes.
"It’s safe now," Wu Xiaode said.
Shen Feixue breathed a sigh of relief, walked down the stairs, and sat down next to Wu Xiaode.
"This is—"
"Xiao Baihong, my friend, Elder Xiao. This is Shen Feixue, a cha technology scholar of this world," Wu Xiaode introduced.
The two nodded and greeted each other.
After Shen Feixue got a brief on what had just happened, she picked up the phone and made a call to a cri syndicate in Wusi Country.
"Legitimate docunts are easy to get. I’ll have them send them over in a bit, so your friend won’t have any problems," Shen Feixue said after hanging up the phone.
"It’s that easy?" Wu Xiaode said in surprise.
"Yes, Christina did a few favors for the Hyena Gang by taking out so other gangs’ leaders. They’re really accommodating now," Shen Feixue said.
After contemplating for a few monts, she added:
"I think maybe it’s ti to start trying to make a Biological cha, for our protection."
"I support you—this is a great opportunity to renovate the bar openly, co up with a plan, and maybe fit a basent under the bar dedicated to your research," Wu Xiaode said.
Shen Feixue was pregnant, and since she wanted to work, let her work, lest her stress find no outlet, leaving her more and more anxious inside.
Moreover, even the intelligence of Dongsheng Country had decided to ban her technology.
Who knows, it might truly bring about so change.
Xiao Baihong glanced at Shen Feixue and poured her a glass of milk.
Great, this bar now hosts a biological cha scientist, an Enchanting Demon, Little Wu is a Bright Ghost, and I am a Storm Mage.
This is a formidable lineup.
"Will there be others joining us later?" Xiao Baihong asked as he held his glass.
"I will keep improving my strength, striving to relocate the remaining Awakeners from our side over here, so that everyone can enhance their power in this place," Wu Xiaode said.
"Looks like I need to hurry up and boost my strength to 50 points before they arrive. That’ll make them all look up to my powerful presence," Xiao Baihong said with a grin.
Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but smile.
Indeed.
This Epoch didn’t have a limit of 50 points; at the very least, one had to reach that level before being qualified to battle with the immortals three days later.
With this thought, Wu Xiaode stood up and said, "I’m going to cultivate. Go out only after you get your identity docunts."
"No problem," Xiao Baihong said.
Wu Xiaode left the bar and, after casually running for a while, arrived in the deserted Great Desert.
Resa Town was indeed a good place.
It was located near the most remote desert between two countries, unlikely to be disturbed by various issues.
Now even the cri gangs no longer ca here, and once the robots also settled down, this place would beco a sanctuary.
"I also need to hurry up and beco stronger."
Wu Xiaode sighed with feeling, his mind stirring slightly.
The Book of the Dead imdiately opened before his eyes, revealing the page of the Wishing Wall.
Mist spontaneously arose around him.
A section of a huge broken wall erged from the fog, covered with various strips of paper.
——The Wishing Wall!
A line of ice crystal small characters appeared:
"Would you like to begin accepting today’s commission?"
"Accept!" Wu Xiaode said.
On the Wishing Wall, countless strips of paper all trembled, as if each strip wanted to detach from the wall and co to Wu Xiaode’s hand.
Wu Xiaode was startled.
This sort of sight had never happened before.
What was it that made these commissioned tasks so urgent?
Suddenly, one strip of paper broke free from the others and fell off the wall first.
It drifted down into Wu Xiaode’s hand.
The strip of paper had a few lines written on it:
"The world has started on the path to destruction."
"Untold disasters are about to erupt, and those with sches in their hearts will soon step onto the stage of history to seize the power they covet."
"Today, sothing must be stopped; otherwise, the kingdom I have built will be completely destroyed."
"Help kill that forr god."
"As long as you can defeat it, I will pay a reward most suitable for you."
"Besides, the truth of this matter is also suited for you."
"I will not disappoint you."
Wu Xiaode beca curious.
The most suitable reward for ? The truth?
Regardless, accept the commission first—
Whether in the world of the living or in the trials of death, the power of the Wishing Wall always helps one to gain strength.
"I accept this commission," Wu Xiaode declared.
The strip of paper instantaneously split in two, one part turning into dots of starlight, rotating around him a few tis before entering his brow.
The other part turned into a chip, falling into his hand).
Scenes appeared in Wu Xiaode’s mind.
In all the images, one building caught Wu Xiaode’s attention.
It was a City God Temple.
Wu Xiaode abruptly rembered sothing.
Initially, he had told Shen Feixue to co to find him, but she fainted in front of the City God Temple.
"Quite strange..."
He took out his cell phone to check the ti.
It was 11:45 in the morning; in another 5 minutes, that event would happen.
——Dongsheng Country was going to perish.
Although he held a grudge against those robots, the aim of this commission was to kill an exceedingly powerful being.
It was for his own sake.
He still had over thirty million in reserve Soul Power.
rit was at twenty-six points.
Getting involved in this kind of nation-destroying, god-killing event, was there any assurance of success?
...Forget it.
Let’s go see the truth first.
With a leap, he jumped into the air and called out:
"Rester, find the fastest flying Evil Ghost."
"At once! Also, Master, make a little disguise to avoid those robots recognizing you again!"
A Demon Wing Bird appeared below Wu Xiaode’s feet.
At the sa ti, a white cat mask appeared in front of him, which he caught and put on his face.
The Demon Wing Bird cried out sharply, beating its wings and taking Wu Xiaode towards the distant sky.
Dongsheng Country.
Capital.
As the Demon Wing Bird dived from the sky, dozens of small and large aircraft and countless Mobile Battle Armors had already appeared around him.
Within the grand sound of anti-aircraft thunder, an authoritative and icy chanical voice erged:
"Intruder detected!"
"Please identify yourself imdiately, or we will shoot you down!"
Wu Xiaode raised the chip in his hand.
——This was the identifier the commissioner had sent through the Wishing Wall to prove his identity!
Beams of light shot from all directions, landing on the chip.
The chip seed to gain so energy, vibrating slightly, emitting a brief sound.
At this sound, all the aircraft imdiately backed off.
Even two Mobile Battle Armors escorted Wu Xiaode in the front, leading him down to the ground.
Wu Xiaode was sowhat surprised.
But none of these trivial matters were important now.
His gaze swept over, imdiately falling upon a temple in the plaza.
——Every human has the freedom to believe.
Even in the "Conservative Faction" nations managed by artificial intelligence, this rule was loyally enforced.
That is the place!
Wu Xiaode stretched out his hand to draw out the Desert Sword, slashing through the air.
Boom——
The entire City God Temple was instantly cleaved into countless broken bricks and tiles, scattered by the sword wind.
Where the temple once stood, there was now a Blood Pool.
A person with eyes closed sat in the blood, his hands forming a Magic seal.
"Who goes there?"
The person asked softly.
Wu Xiaode looked towards the Blood Pool and saw it was full of skeletons.
No, that’s not right...
The City God Temple was a place of a True God, and even if all the gods had descended to reincarnate a few days ago, there should still be puppets maintaining the order of Heaven.
Why could this person brazenly kill so many beings?
"And who might you be?"
Wu Xiaode asked.
The person opened his eyes and slowly stood up from the blood.
A proud smile crossed his face as he said in a deep voice:
"As a forr Divine being and now a human, I am about to destroy everything you hold dear."
"Are you ready, all living creatures?"
