The person who answered the phone did not look good. In that instant, he associated it with many things.
Two incidents happening almost simultaneously, what did it an?
Had the "Ga" officially gone to war with "Delusion"?
"Ladies and gentlen, just now, I received important information passed on from the lower branches."
"A man nad Pan Hao made a phone call, saying he found a girl who had crossed over from a parallel world."
"Is it the Pan Hao who escaped from Paradise?!"
"Yes... but not many people know of the na Pan Hao, so it didn’t draw much attention from the grassroots workers."
"Pan Hao claims that this girl was brought over by the power of a Saint."
"But in this girl’s room, our staff found over 20 kilograms of mithril!"
kilograms?! The amount shocked everyone.
Even though Great Xia was vast, mithril was mostly hidden in certain trenches deep in the ocean, with yearly production being around 10 kilograms.
Now, suddenly, there was two years’ worth of it!
"But that’s not all. The girl has disappeared, entering a funeral parlor."
"Pan Hao seems to be having so ntal issues, repeatedly saying sothing unclear, ’The funeral parlor is converted from Qingtian Hospital.’ He claims that ’Delusion’ is rewriting a concept of our world. A small geographical concept only known to locals."
The funeral parlor is converted from Qingtian Hospital? What does that an?
With insufficient information, everyone was confused.
"The ’Ga’ brought this girl over, possibly involving a bet between two Demon Gods."
"Does that an she is very important?"
"But what use is a single human?"
They couldn’t understand, couldn’t figure it out.
Soon, soone retrieved the local funeral parlor’s data from the database, including address, construction date, and daily workload—every piece of data was there.
"The funeral parlor was indeed converted from Qingtian Hospital... um, has this concept been rewritten... but what does rewriting a concept an?"
People had only analyzed for a few minutes when suddenly, the screen started to blur!
Everyone’s head throbbed with pain, and in just a few seconds, they forgot sothing—even the person who had answered the phone forgot what Pan Hao had said.
The screen was now blank.
Of course, a few S-class Spiritual Ability Users, barely, used their personal abilities to resist the mory-blurring phenonon...
They quickly realized what had happened. Such an ability was shocking, able to erase a fact!
Even with so expectations in their hearts, facing this situation in reality still left them bewildered and anxious.
How to counter the ability to erase facts?
"Even... the database has been altered?"
"We need a super-ntal shielding device... It’s not attacking us specifically."
The lead old man, enduring his headache, quickly spoke out, "I will personally et with Pan Hao, prepare for a turnaround!"
"You all try to analyze the etheric fluctuations we just experienced, and get ready for logistics. Allow so people to hide in the Ga Training Camp for targeted testing."
"Can the seismograph lock onto ’Delusion’?"
"For the ti being... it can’t."
The old man pondered for a mont, then resolutely said, "The threat of invasion from ’Delusion’... ranked S-class!!"
"We can’t wait any longer, start a global ergency eting, many people are already gathered at Taishan Altar."
"We have no ti to lose!"
As if a calamity lood over them, the Black-clothed Guard mbers all wore solemn expressions, starting their tasks with the utmost speed.
An S-class disaster naturally required an S-class response.
Frozen waterlon, refreshingly quenching the thirst, one bite and the heat of sumr dissipated, truly a mortal’s delight.
Old Wang, who was creating "strangeness," took off his helt reluctantly, eating another couple of bites of waterlon.
[Ding! Congratulations! You have evolved a Stone Buddha!]
[Rare Level: Extrely rare!]
"This ga is a lot of fun!"
The process of making chilled waterlon also requires particular care.
The waterlon needs to be of the crisp and juicy variety, for the tender kind tends to taste less fresh when eaten; on the other hand, you can’t freeze it too hard—timing is key, or else it just tastes like an ice pop, and too much of that will make your gums ache.
Plus, chilled waterlon must be paired with Sprite; even pouring so Sprite into it to chill it is a nice choice!
"Life is wonderful!"
These days, he had been engrossed in the little ga, "Reincarnated as a Monstrosity," evolving countless "weakling" monsters.
Just now, he had finally evolved a guy that looked sowhat decent!
[Stone Buddha: A supernatural item born from the Moho Interface, exists by relying on human faith.]
[Superpower: Ability Elimination, within a 5-kiloter radius of the Stone Buddha, the use of Spiritual Ability will beco exceptionally difficult.]
[Evaluation: Barely passable in a fight!]
This thing, stone-like as it is, turned out to be the strongest monster he had worked out after so many days!
Before becoming a Strange Object, it truly could fight!
When it encountered enemies, it would bite with teeth, punch and kick; ordinary weakling monsters stood no chance at all!
But this guy had a flaw too—his brain didn’t work very well, and he eventually evolved into a stone—or beca what humans would call a Strange Object.
"So Strange Objects are monsters that failed evolution, how... utterly bizarre."
All in all, the "Stone Buddha" was still far, far from the goal Wang Hao had in mind.
According to Wang Hao’s expectations, he wanted at least to evolve a "King of Monsters," or an "Evil God," and if he got a little greedier, even a Subordinate Demon God would be fine!
But after so many days, even when using an orange Talent.
He only managed to get a "Stone Buddha."
This thing, in the Human World, would be blown to bits by a missile in a minute, totally useless.
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but feel downcast.
"This little ga is freaking liver-breaking, going through a hundred million chances, just to produce an Evil God, maybe?"
"If there really is an Etheric Abyss in the world... well, a hundred million tries wouldn’t be enough."
"The ga is already a simplified version."
In the setting, how vast the Etheric Abyss is, how fierce the survival environnt, hoping for a single Evil God to arise from a hundred million primitive lives is pure fantasy.
Even a trillion would be far from enough...
"Unless I spend like crazy, and draw a Mythical Level starting Talent!"
"Forget it, forget it, can’t waste too many points on this crappy little ga. If it could link up with Cross-dinsional Ga, then maybe I could try my luck in a draw."
Wang Hao stretched and walked downstairs.
Suddenly, he discovered that there wasn’t a single custor in the lobby; the emptiness was disconcerting.
Han Xiaoyue was reading sothing on the computer, and the only regular, "Ling Pingzhi,"... was hiding in his private booth, not coming out.
"Do I have at least one custor?" Wang Hao joked to himself with a self-deprecating laugh.
All the machine indicator lights were blinking with a gleaming blue light.
Those flickering lights, resembling fireflies, looked quite pretty.
But he thought he heard the graphics card screeching.
"What’s up with this, a system crash? It’s not infected with a virus, is it?" Wang Hao asked the front desk girl, Han Xiaoyue, "I heard that criminals try planting secret Trojans to use internet cafe graphics cards for mining. We haven’t fallen for that, have we?"
His machines were high-end; he couldn’t let soone freeload off them for mining!
"No, we haven’t, we are updating the software, the official just notified —we need to be online for the upgrade," Han Xiaoyue swallowed nervously, looking sowhat anxious.
"Oh, a software update!" Wang Hao nodded, casting a doubtful glance at the machines glowing with blue light.
"See for yourself." Han Xiaoyue pointed at the screen.
On it was a ssage: [Downloading update package, please wait], and the download progress was incredibly slow, like downloading gas with a small bandwidth pipe ten years ago, potentially taking up to ten hours.
"Oh, I see... then just let it download at its own pace."
He was too lazy to ddle with the process, thumping up the stairs to continue enjoying chilled waterlon and to relax his mind.
...
After he left, the girl Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief.
The downloading interface on the screen disappeared.
However, the blue lights on the machines were still flashing.
The ga, intense to an extre degree, was on.
"Hey, hey, hey, you can’t really be getting out-calculated by the opponent, can you?" Xiaoyue teased with a laugh, "If it’s really not working out, I could go beg Big Cousin to grace with a treasure. I could suppress the opponent in minutes."
Of course, that was impossible. Treasures are fortuitous and cannot be sought after.
