Zhonghai in August is as hot as a furnace.
Under the dazzling scorching sun, the asphalt road had lted, looking like a pool of languid chocolate. On the sycamore trees on both sides, the cicadas shouted tirelessly in a hoarse effort.
But this heat didn't affect Chen Shouyi at all.
Half an hour later.
Chen Shouyi brought Wang Shengyuan back ho.
The house was empty.
"Make yourself comfortable," Chen Shouyi greeted.
"I... I'll just stand."
"No need to be formal, just relax. If you want water, help yourself."
Chen Shouyi said politely and then ignored him, picking up the phone in the living room and dialing the president's office. A mont later, the other side answered.
"General Manager Chen, sorry to keep you waiting. What can I do for you?" the president said politely.
"I have so important information!" Chen Shouyi's voice was serious. "Soone has obtained future mories, and it's not good. It might be a conspiracy or a prophecy; I'm not sure. But I think there is definitely vital information we need here."
The other side fell silent.
They didn't speak for a long ti.
There was only the sound of heavy breathing, as if processing the information. A mont later, the president said solemnly, "Where is the person now?"
"At my house," Chen Shouyi said.
"All right, I'll send soone over imdiately," the president said.
The two quickly ended the call.
Wang Shengyuan beca sowhat restless.
"Don't worry, it's just cooperating with the investigation," Chen Shouyi comforted.
"I... I'm not nervous!" Wang Shengyuan took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
Before finding Chen Shouyi, he had already prepared himself to face anything, driven by his passionate desire to save humanity and a sense of sacred mission. He didn't think about anything else, but at this mont, when he was really about to face the national enforcent agency, he couldn't help being a little nervous.
"Don't worry, I guarantee you will be fine," Chen Shouyi said. Regardless of whether the situation is true or false, the fact that he ca to warn him about future events and advised him not to take risks is enough to earn his gratitude.
Upon hearing this, Wang Shengyuan's nervous heart finally settled. With General Manager Chen's status, with those words, everything would be handled.
Chen Shouyi checked the ti and found it was past noon. After thinking for a mont, he took out two test tubes from space and tossed them over: "I won't take you out for lunch, use this to fill your stomach."
Wang Shengyuan hurriedly caught them. Looking at the two test tubes in his hand that emitted a hazy golden glow, he couldn't help but think of sothing, his heart surging with excitent, and he asked in a trembling voice, "General Manager Chen, what... what's this?"
"Demigod Blood!" Chen Shouyi said.
These were leftovers from the last ti he sent to two uncles' hos.
Chen Shouyi had asked for eighteen tubes, but the national office generously rounded it up and sent thirty tubes.
Hearing this, Wang Shengyuan's hand shook, almost crushing the test tube.
Is this for filling the stomach?
The realm of the bigwig is simply incomprehensible.
So extravagant, it's inhumanly extravagant.
"...This is too precious, I... I can't accept it..." Wang Shengyuan instinctively wanted to refuse.
"Take it," Chen Shouyi interrupted. "After the investigation, I'll give you so True God Flesh."
He still had more than twenty tons of True God Flesh with weak divine power, always piled up like garbage.
Wang Shengyuan was stunned by the offer, overwheld with emotion to the point of almost crying.
Finding General Manager Chen was really the right choice. This is more than just a thigh to lean on; it's a golden thigh. Even a single strand of hair from it is thicker than his leg.
It didn't take long.
A fully ard team of soldiers arrived.
Before taking Wang Shengyuan away, Chen Shouyi specifically reminded, "This is my friend, please treat him well."
"Please rest assured, General Manager Chen," the leading officer saluted and said hurriedly.
...
After everyone left, Chen Shouyi returned to his bedroom.
His heart was filled with gloom. This matter seed a bit odd. He couldn't tell if it was the Barbarian God's interference or a premonition Wang Shengyuan obtained about the future.
"In three months, I will die, and humanity will be entirely lost?" he mumbled to himself, his expression heavy.
He realized this could very likely happen.
The current situation for humanity was already precarious. Ever since the United States fell, a pall hung over the globe. Eurasia had beco the only and last bastion of resistance.
This God of Lightning could very well be even more formidable and terrifying than the God of Light, and he had little confidence facing the God of Light.
If faced directly, death was almost certain.
Outside, the blinding light pierced through the curtain's slit, casting a beam of light filled with dust particles dancing in the air.
"The most crucial thing now is to figure out what's going on," Chen Shouyi clenched his fist, the air rippling in waves.
"According to Wang Shengyuan's description, he went to sleep at ten last night and was shocked awake by eleven, which ans if there really is a mysterious person altering mories, the biggest possibility is during this ti!" Chen Shouyi mused.
"I hope the Book of Knowledge is strong enough!"
In the past, he never understood why the mory world of the Book of Knowledge was so much larger than his real mories.
It could see regions invisible to the naked eye and realize the physical nature of various substances beyond his understanding, extending its insight to a certain depth underground, almost indistinguishable from the real world.
Until he acquired three-dinsional vision, did he roughly understand what's going on.
The Book of Knowledge possesses three-dinsional, or possibly four-dinsional, detection capabilities.
It could use his eyes to perceive the surrounding world centered around him.
This amount of information is entirely astronomical.
Before the mutation, the computing power of all computers worldwide, including all mobile phones, couldn't sustain this almost realistic virtual world.
If this information were fed into his brain, his brain would probably burn out in just 0.1 seconds.
Chen Shouyi gently took the Shell Lady, who was sleeping soundly on his chest, out and carefully placed her on the bed.
Then, he lay beside her.
He quickly entered the Book of Knowledge Space.
He found the mory Leaves of yesterday. To avoid unexpectedness, he chose to enter at nine o'clock, an hour early.
...
While boringly playing fly chess with the Shell Lady, Chen Shouyi's body trembled. He said to the Shell Lady:
"Little one, play by yourself. The Giant needs to go out for a bit."
"Are you quitting because you're losing?" the Shell Lady, who was enjoying the ga, said sulkily.
Dumb Giant always did this; whenever she was winning, he didn't want to play anymore. What a miser.
She had already let him win several tis.
"All right, let's play again when I get back," Chen Shouyi said helplessly.
This was too much.
The virtual world's Shell Lady was just as hard to deal with.
He reassured the Shell Lady, changed into a black outfit, then opened the window, soared into the night sky, and sped off after discerning the direction.
ps: Chapter two will be after one o'clock. As everyone has seen, I've adjusted the ti.
