Chapter 267 – Half for
But right at that mont, the energy provided by the pyramid was interrupted. In response, the Fate Stone stopped rotating and everything cald down.
Wang Zhong suddenly regained his motor functions. The golden slab had landed in his hand so unknown ti ago, the runes across its surface seemingly alive. As for the Fate Stone, one side of it had been enlarged, as though it represented Wang Zhong’s status.
As though it were alive, the golden runes of the golden slab drilled into his body, instantly making Wang Zhong feel as though he’d been thrown for a mont into a deep fryer. The rune patterns along one side of the Fate Stone had also lit up, this entire process completely automated without anyone’s conscious control.
By the ti this all ended, the enormous pyramid seed to visibly erode, dissipating with the breeze. It disappeared, and the three fell from the air and slamd heavily into the ground.
Getting knocked awake by the fall, Simba was sent sprawling and knocked himself back into unconsciousness against the golden slab.
Wang Zhong opened his eyes and was instantly hit by a round, ball-like thing in the nose… wasn’t this a dinsional mayfly!?
The soft, marshmallow-like dinsional mayfly blinked, then opened its mouth… and smiled.
What a hair-raising adventure this had been. Although Aiolos and Mu Zi had almost lost their lives, what they currently felt was simply a great curiosity. They clearly had their own comprehension of life and death. This comprehension was unlike the proclaid ideal set by soldiers of the Federation who spoke of bravery and a lack of fear gained after seeing past life and death. What Aiolos had was a firm belief in fighting while Mu Zi genuinely walked the fine line between life and death. Neither were paranoid or crazed in their beliefs, and instead treasured their life and experience like normal when outside of danger.
The gigantic pyramid had already disappeared without leaving a trace, so the trio simply sat in its forr location, Ham Sausage crouching on the ground with its large tongue out. It had returned to its originally malnourished dog form. One simply couldn’t imagine its true shape after absorbing so soul power. This kind of ability obviously made Simba very interested in Ham Sausage.
“Co over here, Ham Sausage. Let the Might Simba sit on you. I’ll even give you sothing good!” This small Ham Sausage wasn’t suitable for Simba’s mount, but in its eye-catching form it suited Simba’s long-ti desire for a steed.
It was unfortunate for him, however, that Ham Sausage didn’t have the slightest interest in Simba. It instead sat on the floor, unable to take its eyes off the cola and ham sausage. When Wang Zhong opened the package of ham sausage, its fragrance wafted out and imdiately made those watching gulp down their saliva.
“I’ll bring more next ti,” Wang Zhong said with a smile. The benefits he’d obtained in this adventure ahd reached quite the inconceivable level. He had truly profited from this disaster.
“How do you open this thing?” Taking a can of cola, Mu Zi began to touch it gingerly. It was far too valuable to him, too luxurious. In the Tutankhamun Empire it was sothing too hard to purchase even if you had the money. On one hand there was only a limited supply in the empire. On the other hand, they had all been monopolized by the royal and noble clans. Yet, before him now was a stash of it.
Wang Zhong took up his own can and pulled the tab. The unique sll of cola imdiately spread with a pop. “Just drink it from here.”
Aiolos couldn’t help but shake his head from the explanation. “The Federation is indeed extrely luxurious. They actually wasted such technology on packaging food. This should be that thing known as ‘industrialization’ from the old era.”
While it was considered the second strongest power on the Brave Continent, there was still too big a difference between his Pampasi Empire and the number one Amazon Empire. All trade with the Federation had been dominated by the latter.
Laughing, Wang Zhong took a huge swig. Although there wasn’t any benefit from drinking so much, it was still very refreshing to gulp it down. The hyperdinsion was too fantastic! Even though he was in his current form, he was still able to enjoy the stimulation of his sensory organs like normal. In the higher dinsions, the spiritual and physical forms were considered proper existences.
As he considered this profound topic, Mu Zi and Aiolos were still engrossed in the cola. Taking small sips, the air bubbles captured with the oddly sweet taste erupted in their mouths. It was as though their taste buds had beco a bit numb afterward. The dehydration and weakness from all the earlier fighting seed to recover, giving them a slightly strange sensation.
The eyes of the two curved with enjoynt. To the side, saliva drooled from the hellhound and pooled atop the ground.
Two seconds later, Aiolos carefreely gulped down the entire can while Mu Zi continued to take small sips as he sampled the cola. It was as though he wanted to keep a mory of this taste and emotion forever.
Aiolos simply opened another can and finally gave the ham sausage a large bite. His thod of eating completely matched his temperant.
“Delicious! While the outward appearance looks a bit disappointing, the taste is rather rich and substantial. This would be much better with so wine,” said Aiolos.
Mu Zi also took a bite out of the ham sausage and almost burst into tears by its deliciousness. Before Aiolos and Wang Zhong he actually looked like an ordinary person. Neither blad him, though, as he could only find such inner peace in the hyperdinsion.
Devouring everything in one clean sweep, Aiolos and Mu Zi wiped out the cola and ham in a few monts. To the side, Ham Sausage could only stare anxiously the entire ti and eat the bits and pieces that fell to the side. It wasn’t enough to even fill the gaps between its teeth, but the flavour was still enough to make it drool uncontrollably.
“Ham Sausage, let’s strike a deal. If you beco my mount then I’ll let Wang Zhong prepare a portion specially for you next ti. How’s that? I’m definitely more generous than that little baldy!” Simba finally unleashed his fatal plan of enticent.
The hellhound imdiately stared at Mu Zi with wide eyes. Mu Zi saw this and nodded. “If we et again, then I’ll lend him to you.”
“Haha! Baldy, so you do have monts when you can make others happy! Too great!” Simba imdiately jumped over and sat right on Ham Sausage’s head. He imdiately felt like a mighty ruler.
“Ham Sausage, rember to give half,” added Mu Zi. Simba almost fell off Ham Sausage.
Wang Zhong couldn’t help but laugh at this. It was only at this ti that one could feel Mu Zi’s child-like personality. In combat he felt… incomparably spectral-like, baffling and enigmatic.
“My soul power increased greatly this ti. I should be able to enlarge and bring more in the dinsional pouch the next we et,” said Wang Zhong.
Aiolos felt extrely comfortable and said, “I had looked down on Federation-made things before, but I’ve finally seen the light. While it’s just a bit of food, I can feel how deep and profound the Federation’s foundations are. I’ll also bring a few things next ti. Although it isn’t much where I am, it’ll be extrely valuable in the Federation.”
Wang Zhong had previously heard matters involving the Federation’s plundering of empire resources, and in the Federation it was even treated as a joke. It was a thod for the Federation to help build a feeling of superiority in its citizens. Now, however, Wang Zhong felt ashad of himself.
Aiolos smiled at Wang Zhong’s expression but continued, “Wang Zhong, this is life. The law of the jungle. Reason and rationale does not exist there. Just don’t think too much on it; humans simply need to live life to the fullest and do what they want to do. The three of us got to know each other through fate, so don’t mind the stuff that doesn’t need to be minded. In any case, we did just experience a live-or-die situation.”
Mu Zi nodded firmly when he heard this, and even Ham Sausage followed suit. The poor Simba was almost flung off its head from the motion.
“Wang Zhong, as a person of the Federation you should head to the adventurer bases of the Federation. There should be a few things there that can aid you,” Aiolos suddenly said.
“Adventurer base?” Wang Zhong gawked a little at the familiar term. Hadn’t Old Potter ntioned such a thing before?
