ng Wuji returned to his survival base with his first love. He appeared cold and ruthless, but inwardly, he was as excited as a husky.
This ti, he naturally had to make up for the regret of missing out.
He hadn't actually expected his first love to survive; he originally thought she must have turned into one of the ugly zombies.
At least, that's what happened to his ex-girlfriend. He had already called her, but there was no answer, so she had likely already beco a zombie.
After settling his first love, he planned to start farming. But to his surprise, he suddenly discovered a figure in the planting area.
The person seed to be checking the growth of his crops and also adjusting matters like sunlight and temperature.
"You're here. I've been waiting a long ti," Wang Linchi glanced back at him and said. "The soil-grown crops are doing well, but the hydroponics are still a bit lacking, probably because you've been too busy lately."
"Who are you?" ng Wuji asked warily, a pang of regret in his heart. He had been careless and hadn't brought his trusty Long knife, significantly diminishing his fighting ability.
What he really wanted to know was how the man had entered his survival base. Its defenses, both internal and external, were extrely stringent. It was virtually impossible for anyone other than him to enter or exit.
"? Well, how should I put it?" Wang Linchi pondered for a mont, then said, "I'm here to kill you."
Upon hearing these words, ng Wuji's pupils contracted, and he unhesitatingly attacked first.
His abilities were perfect against zombies but useless against humans. However, that didn't matter. His evolution had not only triggered a transformation of his abilities but also significantly enhanced his physical conditioning and spiritual strength.
So he wasn't worried about being a drag. After all, without sufficient strength, how could he have used his abilities to kill Mutated Zombies?
His attack was aid at Wang Linchi's vital points. Although he didn't know how the other party had gotten in, he had full confidence in his own capabilities.
The zombie crisis had just erupted, and the current survivors had not yet discovered the use of the Zombie Core, so it was impossible for them to beco Evolvers. As a Level 3 Evolver, he was confident he could completely dominate.
But before these thoughts could fully form, Wang Linchi abruptly intercepted ng Wuji's attack.
"Why can't you just let finish?" Wang Linchi said helplessly.
Although ng Wuji had failed to kill him in one blow, he was unscathed. Nevertheless, his eyes betrayed his apprehension.
He couldn't understand where this person had sprung from, possessing strength no less than his own as a Level 3 Evolver. It was simply inconceivable.
"If you're here to kill , why bother with such hypocritical words?" ng Wuji snorted coldly but didn't attack again. He actually suspected Wang Linchi might have co to cooperate with him.
The other party was likely not an Evolver. During their earlier exchange, he hadn't sensed the characteristic energetic presence of an Evolver from him.
Because after consuming a Zombie Core, one could instantly recognize the unique aura of an Evolver—that vibrant life force, so different from that of a zombie.
Ability Evolvers possessed this distinct aura from the very beginning. Physical Cultivators, however, only began to manifest it upon reaching Level 1. This was one of the reasons why Physical Cultivators had no Level 0.
That's why ng Wuji had concluded that Wang Linchi was not an Evolver.
"How could that be? Everything I've said is from the heart," Wang Linchi replied, looking as if ng Wuji had misunderstood him. However, he didn't deny that he was there to kill ng Wuji.
ng Wuji felt a bit suffocated hearing this. Does this guy have a screw loose?
"I want to play a ga with you. How about we bet your life?" Wang Linchi said teasingly.
"Heh, if I kill you, I won't have to bet at all," ng Wuji scoffed, a disdainful look on his face. The man seed to be his equal, but he himself had three years of Experience surviving the zombie apocalypse. In terms of combat skills or general experience, he was confident he could crush the other party.
Moreover, this was his ho turf. With multiple advantages, he didn't believe he could lose.
So, without any hesitation, he attacked once again. However, each attack was just shy of the mark, causing ng Wuji's heart to gradually sink.
"Sigh, if you don't want to play, just say so. I can find soone else to play with. There's no need for all this fighting," Wang Linchi said nonchalantly.
By now, even if ng Wuji were a complete idiot, he could see that Wang Linchi's strength far surpassed his own; he was clearly outmatched.
"You've lost," Wang Linchi stated. "You can die now."
"If I lose, I can tell you a secret." Wang Linchi flashed behind ng Wuji and whispered, "The secret of your reincarnation."
The word 'reincarnation' struck ng Wuji's ears like a clap of thunder. He had never, ever imagined that his secret reincarnation would be known by soone else.
Outwardly, however, he remained impassive, a smile playing on his lips. "Heh, interesting. I didn't expect you to be a Reincarnator."
"No wonder you were able to sneak into my base without a trace."
At this mont, he absolutely could not lose his composure, nor could he admit it. Instead, he had to turn the accusation back on his opponent.
Hearing this, Wang Linchi's expression beca quite colorful. This kid is truly sothing else; anyone else would probably be panicking right now.
"You're right. It's just the two of us here. It's fine to deceive others, but don't deceive yourself."
"I've laid out my condition. So, are you playing this ga or not?" Wang Linchi reached out and stopped ng Wuji's increasingly fierce attacks.
ng Wuji pulled back, his expression grave. "The stakes of the ga need to change. If I lose, I die. If you lose, you die too."
"Aren't you thinking a bit too wishfully? I also offered information about reincarnation," Wang Linchi said, shaking his head. He really is dreaming.
"I can raise the stakes!" ng Wuji knew only one thing: Wang Linchi had to die. The man truly knew he was a Reincarnator.
This was sothing he could not tolerate.
Actually, guessing that ng Wuji was a Reincarnator wasn't particularly difficult. One rely needed to gather enough information, compare the changes in him before and after, and note various illogical occurrences that made him seem like an Unpredicted Prophet. Using these as clues for inference, one could arrive at 'Reincarnator' as a possible conclusion.
Other than Wang Linchi, however, no one cared about ng Wuji in the slightest.
In Wang Linchi's eyes, ng Wuji was a pivotal figure in this world. However, in the eyes of the general public, ng Wuji was just one among many—at best, soone with good Luck who had won the lottery and achieved financial freedom, after which they wouldn't pay him any more attention.
"What collateral do you have?" Wang Linchi sized up ng Wuji, as if trying to find sothing of value in him, then added, "Don't say Zombie Cores or Evolvers; I already know about those."
"It's not that. It's the major trends and direction of events for the next three years," ng Wuji said, finally speaking after taking a deep breath.
This was tantamount to admitting he was a Reincarnator. But as long as he killed the other party, it wouldn't be an issue.
"I'm not particularly interested in that. But since you've raised the stakes, I'll match you. I'll wager this life of mine as well," Wang Linchi also said.
He was betting his current life. If he died and ca back to life, then his next life wouldn't have much to do with him.
As soone proficient in justifiable division, his self of one mont had no relation to his self of the next, let alone using lives as a ans of differentiation.
"Tell , what is your ga?" ng Wuji asked.
"Let's bet on whether you can beco a Level 4 Evolver within three days," Wang Linchi stated. "I bet you can't."
ng Wuji was rendered speechless by Wang Linchi's words. Isn't that just stating the obvious?
"Don't worry. Within these three days, I'll control a zombie tide. It will contain at least one thousand Level 3 Mutated Zombies." Wang Linchi chuckled, indicating he wouldn't be *that* shaless.
ng Wuji's expression turned solemn. "Alright, it's a deal!"
To be able to control a zombie tide, and even bring at least one thousand Level 3 Mutated Zombies that don't even exist yet... who on earth is this person?
"Let see... Let's start at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Get ready, and don't oversleep." Wang Linchi's figure gradually dimd and dispersed.
"What is your purpose?" ng Wuji quickly asked before the other party disappeared completely.
"For fun, of course. What else could it be?" As Wang Linchi's voice faded, he vanished completely.
Only ng Wuji remained in the base's planting area, his heart filled with unease. Wang Linchi was simply too mysterious and seed to know many hidden truths.
I need to prepare. I absolutely must win this ti!
