Chapter 122 I Have Tolerated You for a Long Time

What does it mean that Gu Qinyuan is also a book traveler?

Yan Chu's slender eyebrows were deeply furrowed: "That's not right, isn't he the Zombie King?"

Potato let out a long sigh.

「That’s why I said this matter is very complicated...」

"Master, you should still remember that when you first came through the book, you happened to see He Fan get into a car accident?"

Yan Chu nodded.

[In fact, it was not an accident, but a predetermined node in the world line. At that time and place, his death was destined.]

Yan Chu's pupils shrank slightly: "What do you mean?"

[This means that He Fan should have died at this point in time, but as the chosen male protagonist of this world, the system binds him to a longer lifespan. The price is that he must complete the task of eliminating zombies and saving the world.]

Yan Chu: “…”

It looks so familiar, as if she was also lured into this trap.

Do these systems use the same trick to trick people into completing tasks?

"Wait," Yan Chu realized something was wrong, "Why is it to eliminate the zombies, not the zombie king?"

[As expected of the master, he spotted the problem right away! ]

Potato spread his hands and said helplessly:

[Because in the original world line, creatures like the Zombie King shouldn't exist.]

Yan Chu's breathing stagnated: "Then Gu Qinyuan..."

Potato scratched his head with a confused look on his face.

[Let me explain it this way. As the destined male protagonist, He Fan only needed to improve his strength step by step. Even facing a level 3 evolved zombie, he would be invincible.]

[He could have successfully completed this mission and achieved a perfect ending by successfully saving the world.]

[However, the balance was disrupted by the appearance of a book traveler. After mutating into a zombie, this traveler began to evolve at an extremely terrifying speed... eventually becoming the current Zombie King.]

Yan Chu's heart tightened.

This person who traveled through the book is Gu Qinyuan?

He Fan was unable to defeat the zombie king, who was far more powerful than him, and even lost his life, causing the mission to save the world to fail. Therefore, the world restarted, and everything returned to the starting point and started all over again.

Potato sighed and continued:

[However, we overlooked that the Zombie King was originally a mutation of a book traveler and is not controlled by the world consciousness, so it cannot be reset.]

After so many reincarnations, the Zombie King grew stronger and stronger, and He Fan's chances of victory grew slimmer and slimmer. Therefore, the World Consciousness had no choice but to abandon He Fan and choose the Master to end the current Zombie King.

Yan Chu felt mixed emotions for a moment.

So when she first encountered He Fan in a car accident when she first entered the book, it wasn't because he was unlucky.

But after being abandoned by the world consciousness, he could no longer extend his life and could only die in a car accident.

Yan Chu bit her lip and asked tentatively, "If I don't kill the Zombie King, will it count as successfully saving the world?"

Potato shook his head seriously:

[No, Master, you must destroy the Zombie King and ensure the ultimate victory for humanity to complete the mission.]

Yan Chu frowned even more tightly: "But some zombies are not hostile to humans. Can a victory achieved by blindly slaughtering them be called salvation?"

Potato's expression became more serious:

If the Master fails to complete the mission, the final outcome will be the same as He Fan's: either falling into an endless cycle of reincarnation or accepting death.

After a moment of silence, Yan Chu suddenly grabbed the potato floating in the air and walked towards the kitchen.

Potato struggled subconsciously.

【Master, what are you going to do? 】

Yan Chu viciously threw the potato onto the chopping board, then picked up the kitchen knife and pointed it at it, gritting his teeth and saying:

"Stinky potato, I've put up with you for so long. Useless potatoes should be mashed into mashed potatoes!"

Potato:? ? ? ?

[Help! ! The master is murdering the emperor! ]

Yan Chu put the kitchen knife against its round neck, and the sharp blade flashed a cold light.

"Hurry up and find a solution for me. If you can't, I'll chop you up before I die!"

Potato subconsciously wanted to escape, but suddenly found that he could not move or become invisible.

Yan Chu gave a cold and ruthless smile: "You can't run away, right? I've studied it before, and this ability will be useful even to you."

Potato was so scared that tears started streaming down his face.

How did Yan Chu discover that this "Immobilization" ability card has the same origin as its ability!

[Don't do it! Don't do it! Let's talk it over!]

Potato's small eyes were almost turned into fried eggs from crying.

It rolled its eyes wildly and suddenly let out an "Ah".

[Got it! Got it! Master, do you still remember the Resurrection Card? First, kill the Zombie King, deceive the world consciousness, and then use the Resurrection Card to revive him!]

Yan Chu's grip on the kitchen knife loosened a little.

She narrowed her eyes slightly: "Is it possible to save zombies?"

A trace of guilt crossed Potato's face: "Theoretically, it should... should be possible, right?"

...Mainly, no one uses this card on zombies.

Yan Chu snorted coldly and let go of Tu Dou: "The resurrection card is the UR card, right?"

Potato, who escaped the disaster, nodded repeatedly with a look of fear on his face.

It has been a system for so many years, and all the owners it has tied up are gentle and kind, and they call it a little cutie.

Yan Chu was the first to put the knife on its neck.

Whose master went crazy and even killed the system?

Yan Chu couldn't quite remember whether she had this card. She took out the heavy card album and looked at her UR card.

No.

That’s right, if she drew such an important card, it would be impossible for her to have no memory of it at all.

Although Potato is unreliable, the method he mentioned is indeed worth a try.

But in this case, she needs to get at least two resurrection cards.

Find a zombie to experiment on first.

Otherwise, if Gu Qinyuan was killed and the resurrection card didn't work, then everything would be ruined.

When Yan Chu was wondering where the zombies were gathered in larger numbers, the door clicked and Gu Qinyuan walked in from outside.

He was holding a bag full of snacks in his hand, and at first glance, they were all Yan Chu's favorites.

The food stored in the base is mainly rice, flour, grain, oil and frozen meat, and there are no snacks at all.

So Gu Qinyuan would occasionally leave the base and go out to find delicious food for her.

Yan Chu blinked: "You went out again?"

Gu Qinyuan smiled and patted her head: "Who made me have a greedy little cat at home?"

Yan Chu puffed up his cheeks and snorted: "No, I only ate a little bit..."

Ever since she used those SSR-level abilities to clear out the zombies in the entire base, she became particularly hungry easily and her appetite increased a lot.

Later she learned from Potato that the stronger a person's superpowers are, the more energy they need on a daily basis.

For example, Lu Yuanze has gradually changed from eating one bowl of rice per meal to eating three bowls of rice per meal.
