Chapter 1547: Chapter 647: You Huang!
Let ti rewind a little.
Star Moon City
Earth Surface City.
On a certain street.
In a very ordinary shop.
An unbelievable thing happened in a completely unremarkable way.
“Mr. Kade, could you please settle the bill?”
“Okay, let see.”
A chanical arm descended from the ceiling, rummaging through the shopping basket for a while.
“WeChat number 9557 processor, second-hand;
Five alloy bolts;
Brainwave sensor, ah, this is an obsolete item, sotis it causes seizures, so I’ll give it to you cheap;
And a — duck? Alive? Ah, are you sure you want this duck?”
During the questioning, the old man behind the counter poked his head out and glanced at the duck.
Duck.
Where did the duck co from?
The calm voice of the girl sounded:
“I heard ducks are good food — in the Ancient Era people ate such creatures, so I wanted to buy one to try.”
“Mr. Kade, please calculate the bill.”
The old man imdiately dismissed his doubts.
No matter whose twisted humor used genetic engineering to create a duck.
No matter who left it here.
In any case—
“Hmm… originally you needed to pay three alloy chips, but this duck—well, I’ll give the duck to you cheaper as well; you only need to pay four chips.”
The old man said.
“Deal,” the girl said.
As soon as the words fell.
A small line appeared above the duck’s head:
“Sold the duck!”
Of course.
This line disappeared as soon as it appeared.
To the store owner and the girl, they hadn’t noticed this extrely important matter at all.
Instead, the duck itself raised its head with interest, looking at the lines appearing in the void:
“Holy Entry.”
“Description: God has covered your tracks, guiding you here to see what divine mischief is.
— The actions of the Lord carry profound anings.”
The girl took her things, holding the duck, and walked out of the store.
She slipped into a small alley, turning left and right, until no one could be seen anymore.
Thud thud thud.
The girl knocked on the wall.
A secret compartnt opened.
The girl descended the stairs into a basent.
“You’re back?”
A man entirely covered in tal, except for his flesh and blood head, said.
“Dad, look, what is this!”
The girl excitedly lifted the duck to show the man.
“Goose? No, maybe it’s a duck?”
“Right, I bought it from Kade, cost a chip.”
“Too expensive, these things went extinct long ago, who would waste ti genetically engineering such a thing? It has no purpose—”
“It’s a waste, doesn’t et your basic survival principles!”
After saying this, the man panted heavily.
The girl softly said:
“Dad, I rembered your dying wish was to stop eating nutritional liquid.”
“I’ll find an ancient recipe to prepare an ancient al with the duck, how about it?”
The man stared at the duck, his expression becoming complicated.
“A living creature… look, it’s making eye contact with …”
He continued in a soft voice:
“I can hardly believe it.”
“I now feel that eating that nasty nutritional liquid is normal, I can’t eat sothing with a mind.”
The girl dejectedly said, “I spent a chip, and now you’re changing your mind?”
“…Bring the duck over here for to see,” the man said.
The duck was brought in front of the man.
The man stared at the duck.
The duck widened its eyes but stared at the girl, appearing a bit terrified.
— Because the girl unscrewed the tal cover on her chest, revealing an interface inside, and picked up sothing from the table that looked like a power bank, plugging it into the interface.
A gentle voice sounded:
“Beep beep beep!”
“Charging your prosthetic body.”
Charging!
Damn, totally mistaken.
Shouldn’t have opened any Holy Restaurant.
These guys rely on charging, or on nutritional liquid!
— Humans no longer eat!
No wonder when the Holy Restaurant opened, the pedestrians on the street had strange and curious looks.
But no one ca in to dine.
Dining has beco an Ancient Era ritual!
“Tomorrow the mysterious monsters will besiege the city, Dad, if it doesn’t work, run away.”
The girl lay on the sofa, speaking nonchalantly.
“Hmph, I’ve been a sentry all my life, dying on the job is normal.” The man calmly said.
“I heard so people escaped to the Wild and lived a long ti.” The girl probed.
“Don’t listen to those rumors; no one could escape the Outer God’s hunt, they all died.”
“That’s not true, I heard—”
“Enough!”
The man’s voice suddenly elevated, but when the girl fell into a long silence, he sighed and said in a low voice:
“This tal body of mine is at its limit, dying on the battlefield is fine, at least you can receive compensation.”
The girl remained silent, for a while, wiping her eyes with her hand.
But in the next mont.
“Quack!”
The duck quacked loudly, startling both father and daughter.
Imdiately after.
The man emitted bursts of chanical friction sounds all over.
The girl, unable to care about her emotions anymore, leaped from the sofa in a panic and said:
“Dad—”
She looked at her father and suddenly froze.
The old and worn steel body of her father had completely transford.
Every part.
Every tal surface.
All shone brilliantly as if new.
The girl rushed forward a few steps, pressing her hand on her father’s body, commanding:
“Check the paraters, report the performance!”
Beep beep beep—
Flashing curves and skyrocketing attribute values erged in her eyes.
