Fooled You, I'm Not Human Anymore!

Wu Xiangwang once believed that having a good face meant having everything. As long as he looked good, he could completely be a vase and a carefree immortal.

Until he fell into a terrifying w...

Chapter 173

Because he collected all six A's, Wangwang Fairy Man was in a gloomy and irritable state for the next few days.

Even though he could almost understand that he was being used as an example to scare the monkeys, or that he was being used as a warning by the new city lord, or that he was being used as a firearm by a new official, the timing of issuing the wanted order was really inappropriate. How could he be issued when he had just said that he was not looking for trouble and was a good person?

Shouldn't it be at least a few days later?

But the wanted order had already been blown up, and he couldn't turn around and threaten the new city lord to take it back, so he just ignored it.

Anyway, too much debt doesn't worry you; too many lice don't itch. He has already collected six Scarlet Warrants from ten cities. Maybe if he works hard he can finally collect all ten Scarlet Warrants and summon the dragon.

Wu Xiangwang digs holes and waters his own sunny little garden, sighing silently.

Fortunately, his small garden is doing very well and is now thriving. In the small garden, there are several sweet fruit trees that can hurt people that they dug from the wild, some poisonous flowers and weeds that Wang Xiao found to make antidotes, and the latest one is the energy wheat that Wu Xiangwang collected and piled up into a small mountain in the house.

At first, Wu Xiangwang was a little worried that these energy wheats would produce inexplicable negative energy after being planted. Just in case, he planted several smiley mushrooms in the corner of the garden.

But after he planted the energy wheat, he realized that he was worrying too much. These energy wheats are pure energy food that grows by absorbing pure energy. The grade of the energy wheat itself is quite high. However, because they require relatively large amounts of energy and are picky and delicate about the environment for normal growth, the Earl Richard, a wealthy businessman who wants to make money from energy wheat, chooses to plant energy wheat in the energy wheat field.

That way, it could provide energy to the Eye of Corruption buried there, and also allow the energy wheat to absorb human flesh and blood to increase production. Although the energy wheat that absorbed human flesh and blood would also bring negative effects, the increase in production was worth it and outweighed everything.

Unfortunately, Richard never lived to see the complete harvest.

Wu Xiangwang looked at the energy wheat that had been transplanted into the sunny garden. Although the growth rate was a little slower, it looked more simple and lovely. He felt that his main food supply in the future was finally settled.

It's not that they don't have food to eat, but he intuitively feels that the strange energy contained in the food grown in the sunny garden must be much lower than that outside. If they eat such food, the strange toxins in their bodies will definitely take longer to occupy the high ground.

This in turn buys them time.

Wu Xiangwang frowned slightly when he thought of this. He thought of what Wang Xiao had said to him before.

Because everyone had passed through six cities in less than three months, and their supernatural power levels had all been raised to level six or above, Liusha and Master Taoist had even been raised to the seventh level of Earl, the strange toxins in everyone's bodies were actually accumulating at an extremely fast rate.

If it weren't for the fact that they had only been in this world for three months, and had only been using the best purification stones they could buy, and had not used strange cores to advance but energy gems and their own accumulated pure energy, at their current rate of advancement, strange mutation characteristics should have appeared on their bodies long ago.

"Excluding Liusha, who's constantly battling the strange power within his body, the one with the highest strange toxin count in the team right now is Qianbao, with a value of 623. Then there's Shangchong and me, with values of 566 and 521, respectively."

"I think 500 should be considered the dividing line, and 600 should be considered a dangerous critical value."

"Next, I'll remind Qian Bao to pay attention to his energy and not to level up too quickly. I'll also keep a close eye on his condition."

"I'll observe the levels of the strange toxins in other people's bodies later. It's a pity that this is just new data I can see. Otherwise, in the Exiled City, I would have been able to figure out the critical values for semi-weirdness and full weirdness."

Wu Xiangwang was not surprised that there were strange toxins accumulating in their bodies. This was something everyone knew after coming to this world.

It is indeed a good thing that Wang Xiao can see the weird values.

"Don't worry. You can see it now. It's only a matter of time before we figure out the pattern. By then, we might be able to compile a 'practical manual' on how to lower or reduce the amount of strangeness in the body. This would be a contribution to our compatriots in the future."

"But do you have a record of how much strange toxin all of us have now?"

Then Wu Xiangwang saw Wang Xiao looking at him with a very complicated look as if he was looking at a rare and wonderful thing.

"What's that look in your eyes?"

Wang Xiao pushed up his glasses: "Look at 0's eyes."

Wu Xiangwang: "...I think you need to reorganize your words. Although I am beautiful, with my aura and strength, I am a definite number 1, okay?"

Wang Xiao: “.”

He seemed to have heard some secret of a big star.

"I'm talking about the strange toxin level in your body."

No attributes mentioned.

Wu Xiangwang: "...Of course I'm talking about the strange toxin value. How could I possibly have none at all?"

Wang Xiao is already a mature fund manager and understands the principle of not giving up when times are tough.

"The value of the strange toxin in your body is as erratic as your energy value. Sometimes it's 0, and sometimes it's still 0."

Wu Xiangwang: "...You really can't speak well, right?"

"When you don't activate your abilities, the level of the strange toxin in your body will automatically decrease. I've observed you for three days, and every time the level of the strange toxin in your body reaches 10, it will automatically and slowly decrease until it reaches 0."

"When you activate your transformation ability, especially the strange disguise transformation ability, your body... is filled with strange energy. There is no such thing as strange toxins.

It’s like you are weird yourself.”

When Wang Xiao said the last sentence, his fox eyes narrowed into slits as he looked at Wu Xiangwang, as if he wanted to see clearly what level of monster this teammate in front of him was.

But Wu Xiangwang remained calm, "Oh, I understand. This shows that I am a person who is difficult to be polluted. Both my mind and body are extremely pure!"

Wang Xiao: “.”

He has always admired Wangwang's self-confidence.

"Your value is 0. Liusha's value is already over 1000, but it's fluctuating and fluctuating. He's probably battling the strange toxins in his body every day, so his mental state and speech are recovering so slowly. But the good news is that his value is slowly decreasing overall, generally by 1-2 points per day."

Liusha should have gotten used to it and is gradually suppressing the strange poison.

"The strange toxin in Wu Xingyun's body fluctuates between 200-400. When he's depressed, the value will soar. But... when he successfully brainwashes himself, the value will decrease. It's amazing."

Wang Xiao sighed, so he felt that their team was very weird. Probably, except for him, Shang Chong and Qian Bao, there were no normal people.

"The two masters chant scriptures every night. The strange energy value in their bodies is very stable, which is 500. It will probably increase when they level up."

So the one who deserves to be worried about is Qian Bao, the guy from the blasting team.

Wu Xiangwang nodded with satisfaction. His friends' abilities had increased and the strange toxins in their bodies were still under control. Overall, it was still good.

After that, just pay attention to the power of the money explosion.

At least in the City of Destiny, no one in their team would be in danger of suddenly becoming weird, and that was enough.

December 30th.

They came to the gate of the city of destiny.

At this time, many adventurers from other cities have gathered in front of the gate of the City of Destiny.

Whenever Wu Xiangwang thought that if they walked ten days further from this city they would reach the first carnival city they had come to, he would feel as if he were in another world.

In three months, they had drawn a circle on the land of this world.

Despite the dangers, their journey is finally about to enter the next stage.

Wu Xiangwang packed up the snail-shell hut and the flatbed trailer underneath.

He looked at this city without walls and without any special weirdness, but for some reason he felt a vague sense of inexplicable pressure in his heart.

"...hiss...it's a bit strange. When I look at the city ahead, why do I feel like I don't want to go in?" Shang Chong rubbed his arms. "It's like a complete rejection."

Qian Bao joined in: "...You are repulsive. I even have a premonition like in a movie that if I throw a bomb, I will blow myself up. I will take off all the explosives on me in a moment."

He absolutely believed that if he still had explosives on him, he would explode into pieces if he entered the city.

Wang Xiao took off his glasses and wiped them. "Seeing this city gives me the same feeling I had when I felt I was going to lose money."

Once he loses money, he will basically be bankrupt and have to jump off a building or beg for food under an overpass.

"Amitabha, this city... is filled with the power of karma. Once you enter the city, be careful with every move you make."

"Yes, this city is evil. We must be careful, but we must also struggle and make the necessary efforts. If this city itself is destiny, then although it is impermanent, it can be reversed and changed."

Wu Xiangwang nodded. "Once we enter the city, our abilities will be blocked. We've all discussed this in the movie Final Destination. We must watch our step, pay attention to details, keep our eyes and ears open, and don't be left alone."

It is easiest to be exploited when you are alone. Although the danger will increase exponentially when you gather together, at least your companions can still help each other.

"Let's go, then?"

Wu Xiangwang looked at his friends and also looked at Liusha who seemed a little nervous.

"Don't worry, if you lose your spatial ability, you can just walk among us. No one can cross us and bully you!"

Liusha gave Wu Xiangwang a very trusting smile.

"Um!"

He was very resistant to this city, because when he saw this city, he inevitably thought of the "tragic fate" that he was almost unable to escape in the City of Bliss.

But he finally came out.

Therefore, fate is not invincible.

This time, there was still a queue to enter the city. Wu Xiangwang discovered that most of the people entering the city were adventurers who came to this city from the direction of Carnival City.

Most of these adventurers seemed to be new adventurers who had experienced one or two cities.

It seems like there are more new people falling into this world.

But at least they made the right choice to go in this direction. Most new adventurers in the early stages are able to adapt to the City of Destiny.

But Wu Xiangwang also saw several teams of adventurers with serious expressions and well-equipped equipment. He thought they should be elite adventurers who had traveled through four or five cities.

Wu Xiangwang calmly took out his pass when he arrived at the city gate.

He felt that the mysterious captain of the guard of the City of Destiny should not be the chatterbox who had never seen the world.

In fact, the strange guard captain did not scream out loud after getting Wu Xiangwang's pass, but his hands shook uncontrollably, and he looked up and down at Wu Xiangwang for a long time.

After seeing that the other three teams of senior members had noticed the unusual situation here and cast puzzled glances at them, the captain of the guard resigned himself to his fate, closed the small notebook, and returned it to Wu Xiangwang.

But for the sake of the city he was guarding, this strange guard captain, who looked very honest and had a tortoise shell on his back, slowly said:

"No matter what you do, fate will be watching you. It's often better to be restrained, right?"

Wu Xiangwang looked at the strange appearance of this turtle who had become a spirit and felt that this guy was a bit weird.

"Don't worry, I've never been an ostentatious person. And I never believe in fate."

The strange guard captain chuckled twice.

"I've heard this from many weird people, but in the end they all believed it."

"Once fate is determined, no one can change it."

Don't forget each other: "Sneak."

He decided not to bother with this old turtle anymore and strode into the city.

Because of the turtle's weird captain's super calmness, Wu Xiangwang's process this time no longer attracted much attention.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that he was wearing a large cloak that almost covered his eyes.

Fortunately, it is a cold winter now and everyone is wearing thick clothes, so there is no problem.

"Wangwang, let's go to the task panel and check out the tasks. I wonder what the task is for completing the City of Destiny? The ground is so slippery!!"

Shang Chong has always been an active person. After entering the city, he wanted to complete the task first.

So he walked towards the task panel two points faster, but this "two points faster speed" which would have caused no problem under normal circumstances caused him to slip uncontrollably on the snowy ground, and then he lost his balance, and his body leaned forward and his head fell directly downwards.

Logically speaking, if you wear warm clothes in winter, a slip in the snow shouldn't be a big deal. Shang Chong was just startled, but he didn't feel particularly scared.

The snow in front of him was quite thick and seemed relatively soft. Even if he fell directly into it, it probably wouldn't be a problem; at most, he would just fall into a hole... Wait, what is that little black dot with a cold glow?!

The moment Shang Chong saw the glint in the snow, his scalp exploded and he shouted at the top of his voice:

“Help, help, help, help, help, help!!!”

His intuition told him that if he fell, he would surely die!

Just before Shang Chong was about to fall onto the snow, Wu Xiangwang, Liusha, Wuer and Zhang San all reached out and grabbed him.

Wu Xiangwang and Liusha grabbed Shang Chong's arms, while the Taoist priest and the master grabbed Shang Chong's clothes.

As a result, Liusha tore Shang Chong's sleeve because he used too much force, and the sleeve slipped out of his hand, so he failed to catch him.

What happened on Wu Er and Zhang San's side was even more outrageous. They had clearly grabbed the left and right corners of Shang Chong's clothes, but Shang Chong's clothes were torn right in the middle.

If Wu Xiangwang had not grabbed Shang Chong's hand very steadily without slipping, and had not pulled Shang Chong back immediately, the four-to-one rescue might not have been successful.

Shang Chong, who was pulled up, was covered in cold sweat. He stood there stiffly for a long time and didn't dare to move.

What made him feel even colder was that there were two other adventurers nearby who had slipped like him. Their teammates also reached out to rescue them, but their teammates were either a step too slow or failed to hold on to them, causing the two adventurers to fall directly into the thick snow beside them.

The teammates of these two people did not realize what was happening at first. They only showed expressions of surprise and astonishment when Shang Chong shouted to them in a hoarse voice, "Help!"

It was only then that they discovered that their companions did not get up on their own after falling into the snow, and the snow where the two adventurers fell gradually spread from their position to a dazzling bright red color.

“?!”

"Xiao Zhang!! Xiao Zhang, what's wrong with you, ah——"

The teammate of one of the adventurers who fell nervously stepped forward and tried to help his teammate up, but when he pulled him up, he saw his teammate screaming.

All the adventurers nearby saw the young man being helped up, with blood and brain matter flowing out of his eye sockets, and his left eye had a black bloody hole pierced directly into it.

At this moment, an angry curse was heard from the other side: "Damn it! Why are there such sharp spikes in the snow?!"

Apparently, the other adventurer who fell in the snow was also dead, and his teammates were angrily kicking the snow where the sharp weapon was buried.

Under his continuous kicks, everyone gradually saw the hidden murderous intent buried in the snow -

It was a row of things that weren't very beautifully designed... probably something like lawn guardrails.

However, the metal guardrail was covered by snow that had fallen for several days in a row, and only a small pointed tip was exposed on the surface, which was impossible to detect without careful observation.

That's why Shang Chong screamed for help so nervously when he slipped. When he lost his special abilities and his physique became that of an ordinary person, such a sharp metal guardrail would be enough to kill him.

And it’s not that easy to save people, just look at Shang Chong.

Wu Xiangwang didn't say anything, and the nearly one hundred adventurers present also didn't say anything.

An invisible chill penetrated into their hearts.

Now they were particularly aware that they had arrived in the City of Destiny, and from the moment they stepped into the city gate, "destiny" began to spin.

"...Brother, my special powers are gone. Have I become an ordinary person again? But if that's the case, I'm a little scared." A young girl's voice sounded softly.

"This way I won't be able to treat you when you're injured, brother."

Her brother held his sister tightly in his arms, his face pale, but he tried to keep his tone steady: "It's okay, our abilities aren't particularly strong anyway, and there doesn't seem to be any weird creatures in this city that would chase us madly. What happened just now was just... just an accident.

Don't be afraid, we just need to be careful and walk slowly so we don't slip."

That is, you won’t die.

The younger sister didn't answer, but held her brother's hand tightly: "Then let's walk slower."

Then everyone slowed down and walked towards the task panel in front at a pace a few minutes slower than a snail.

Wu Xiangwang couldn't help but curse when he heard that there was an adventurer.

"Damn it, if I still had my powers, I'd just chop you in the head with an axe without blinking an eye."

"Shut up, buddy! You don't have your magic shield anymore. Don't rush around like you did in the last few cities! Observe carefully and be careful of every unusual thing around you.

The danger is all around us now."

“Tsk.”

There were many adventurers like Lao Tie who were in a bad mood and felt disappointed, but two people had just died, so everyone was on edge and no one slipped again.

However, the wind and snow got stronger.

Wu Xiangwang wrapped the fur cloak Lin Yuan gave him more tightly and pulled down the hood of the cloak.

The wind and snow grew stronger, somewhat blocking his vision, and he seemed to hear some slight creaking sound.

Wu Xiangwang turned his head and looked around, looking for the source of the sound that made him uneasy, but this side of the city gate was actually quite empty, with no other buildings except the tall task panel.

"Brother Wangwang, I can see the task panel now." Wu Xingyun pulled the corner of Wu Xiangwang's clothes.

Wu Xiangwang came back to his senses and stopped thinking about the subtle voice that made him uneasy. He first looked up to see what the Tongcheng mission was.

Then Wu Xiangwang saw the three most straightforward and simple tasks since Tongcheng was established:

[Brave Mission: Accept the judgment of fate in the City of Destiny.

Junior Adventurer: Live in the star zone of the City of Destiny for ten days.

Intermediate Adventurer: Live in the Moon Zone of the City of Destiny for ten days.

Senior Adventurer: Live in Yaoyang District of Destiny City for ten days.

Mission Reward: City of Destiny Brave Mission Clearance Mark. 】

Merchant Mission: Go out every day and help run the store in the commercial street. Earn enough energy coins.

Junior adventurers watch the store for three days, intermediate adventurers watch the store for five days, and advanced adventurers watch the store for ten days.

Mission Reward: Mark of completing the City of Destiny Merchant Mission. A small amount of energy coins.

[Beauty Mission: Fate may always favor beauties, but beauties also need to bear the dangers that are unique to them.

After the third day of entering the City of Destiny, the beauty can go to the treasure house of the City of Destiny and take out any treasure.

Mission Reward: As long as you are alive, the treasure will belong to you. 】

At first glance, these three tasks are very simple. There are no specific monsters to kill, nor are there very difficult tasks to complete. They just require living in an area for ten days, or helping to watch the store, and taking a treasure from the treasure house.

This is a task that can be completed with eyes closed in other cities, but after witnessing the reality that people can be killed by falls, everyone understands that "staying alive" in this city is the biggest challenge.

"Damn it, I don't feel safe anywhere now. I've finished the mission, and it's freezing with this strong snow and wind. I need to find a place to stay first!"

The old man whose superpower was the Golden Bell Cover tightened his clothes and spoke.

Everyone subconsciously moved their bodies and feet because of his words and decided to find a hotel to stay in first.

At this time, Wu Xiangwang heard the squeaking sound again, and the sound he heard this time was louder and more rapid than before.

Wu Xiangwang raised his head again and looked around through the rolling snowflakes. Finally, his gaze stopped when he saw the task panel that was a hundred meters tall.

A flash of disbelief flashed through his mind for a moment, but he still shouted out immediately:

"Run! Run! The mission board is about to collapse!"

Wu Xiangwang turned and ran forward, only to discover that Wu Xingyun was actually running even faster and more slickly than him. He even reminded the others, "Everyone, be careful when you run! The road is slippery! There's a metal fence nearby!"

No matter how you look at it, he seems to be very experienced.

Almost as Wu Xiangwang finished shouting, the slight creaking sound in the blizzard turned into a hair-raising crackling sound.

Then, there was a crackling sound, as if the supporting chains could not bear the pulling. Everyone reacted at this time and turned around and ran outside.

But this huge task panel is a hundred meters high, and when it falls down, its speed is much faster than that of an ordinary person running.

With a loud bang, the task panel made of special stone fell straight onto the snow.

Wu Xiangwang could even feel the impact of the wind and snow hitting the back of his head.

Their team reacted the fastest and was not particularly close to the task panel, so everyone escaped.

But when they turned around, they saw the person who was pressed under the task panel, and the adventurers whose bodies could not be seen and whose death could only be determined by the blood flowing from the edge of the panel.

“…Brother!”

An adventurer's voice trembled as he looked at his teammate who was pinned to the edge by the task panel.

His body had once been able to withstand a hundred-ton, bizarre attack. But under this mission panel, it was crushed in two, leaving only the waist and eyes open.

"……damn it!"

This is fate.

But fate is unpredictable.
