Chapter 165 I don’t know what to name it either but the book signing event is only a little bit^^…
The power of God? The core of the power, this heart fragment is too dangerous.
Chu Xiuyan thought.
This kind of thing has a fatal attraction to him. The scary thing is that he himself is not aware of this at all, and even unconsciously wants to monopolize it. The consequence is... silent assimilation.
The system fell into thought: [Come to think of it, is it because this heart fragment is nearby that your pollution value has not been able to decrease? ]
Chu Xiuyan: "I even lied to you. Did I? Keep it with you."
The system hesitated and said: [But you look no different from before? ? ]
Chu Xiuyan sighed deeply, "I've lied, how come you can't tell that I'm pretending? In that state, I'm a guy who likes everything interesting, but quickly gets tired of the old and doesn't mind destroying the things I once loved. I feel like if I keep going like that, my personality will almost split."
He? Stuffed the desk back, out of sight, out of mind, turned and left the bedroom, locked the door, and prepared to spend the night on the sofa in the living room? Wash the pollution value again.
“I hope it can be smoked into the flavor.” Chu Xiuyan prayed, then fell on the sofa and prepared to play with his phone.
At this time, the system suddenly called out: [Wait, you haven't thrown away the garbage yet. ]
Chu Xiuyan's brain froze, as if something? Something? suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Well? Like, besides taking out the trash?, there's? one more thing."
He? Slowly sat up straight, and said to the? System in a deep voice: [Big Dad, I have an appointment with? The? Editor? I have to give him the single-person illustration tomorrow? . ]
The system slowly typed out three question marks, [so?]
[Dad, you can’t? You’re just watching someone die without helping——]
Chu Xiuyan rolled over on the sofa and howled, then he tilted and fell to the ground, hitting his lower back.
"My waist is broken. I'm going to die. Ambulance, ambulance..."
He? He fell to the ground and lay dead.
The system said without any emotion: [I see now that your acting skills are far inferior to your divinely polluted state.]
Chu Xiuyan quietly served as a beautiful corpse.
Finally, the system can't stand it? Go, [Get up, same as usual?, you compose and I paint. 】
Chu Xiuyan instantly got up with a bright smile, rubbed his lower back, and lay down on the sofa.
system:【……? 】
Chu Xiuyan bared his teeth and said, "I really bumped into it. The side of this glass table is quite hard."
He? He kicked the cold corner of the table, and then gasped in pain.
“My divine power? —It’s gone!!”
Weak, pitiful, and helpless, even staying up all night with the system to design illustrations.
Good? There was no class the next morning. After sending the carefully designed illustrations to the editor by email, Chu Xiuyan finally had a satisfying sleep.
Editor Chen was left on the other side of the phone, calling out frantically: [Teacher Lingyi! These three illustrations are amazing! And what do these three pictures express about the characters? What do they think? We should enlarge them and hang them on the wall and make videos! Teacher, teacher! What should be punctuated here? Sentence? ? ! Teacher—Teacher, are you still here? ! ]
Chu Xiuyan: zzzz...
Time? It passed silently, and in the blink of an eye it was two days later.
Chu Xiuyan opened the drawer and picked up the golden heart fragment again. The moment he touched it, his thoughts seemed to slow down infinitely. By the time he could react, the environment in front of him had changed.
It is the upper city of the kingdom in the wasteland world.
All you can see are dazzling gold, silver and jewelry, and the floor is inlaid with sparkling gems, which is extremely luxurious.
Chu Xiuyan sat up from the soft big bed and looked around in confusion.
System: [Hello? Host, can you? Hear my voice? Hello? Hello? ? ]
Chu Xiuyan: [What? ? ]
System: [Oh, it seems like you were offline just now...]
At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped in from the window. Chu Xiuyan looked over and found that it was Bai Qiu whom he had not seen for a long time. He was still dressed in the same untidy manner, with a palm-sized red gem in his hand, which he threw towards him from a distance.
"My dear guest, this is the best guest room, with so many treasures to keep you company. Are you satisfied?"
Chu Xiuyan took the ruby thrown to him, squinted his eyes and said, "That's it, right? I am the son of the forest and the desert, everything in the sky and on the ground belongs to me, a mere treasure... hehe."
Bai Qiu: "Oh, then? I guess you don't like my treasure trove, so I won't give it to you."
Chu Xiuyan instantly changed his words: "I want the treasure house——"
Bai Qiu laughed, but he took out the key from his pocket and handed it over. His tone was a little complicated, but more relaxed. "Most of the property I own will be returned to the construction of the new city, and I don't need the rest. I'll give it all to you. Speaking of which, I think I said before that you will inherit my estate?"
Chu Xiuyan didn't expect Bai Qiu to really hand over the treasure house key, and asked doubtfully: "Are you willing to do so?"
Bai Qiu thought for a moment and replied, "I don't really care about these things anymore... but if I give them all away, I might regret it soon. Ah, I'm starting to regret it. Give me back the keys and I'll move some more out..."
Chu Xiuyan cautiously hid the key behind his back and said, "No, I want to use this money to buy the ruined city. Then you can come to work here. I can pay you a salary and guarantee that you will be satisfied."
Bai Qiu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come when you buy the ruined city."
Chu Xiuyan was about to speak when the system suddenly screamed: [It’s up! It’s up! 3.8%! That heart fragment is stuck in your palm?, start exerting your strength now?!]
Chu Xiuyan immediately threw off the quilt and rushed out the door, "I have already left, don't steal my treasure house——"
Bai Qiu only felt a shadow flying past him, and in the blink of an eye the boy's back had disappeared outside the door.
Another person jumped in through the window.
The smile on Bai Qiu's face gradually disappeared.
"Tsk, you're a step late."
The man with long red hair turned around and wanted to jump out of the window again, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, half-crouched on the windowsill, turned his head and looked at Bai Qiu, and said, "Speaking of which, I still don't understand why you want to leave. The kingdom is about to disband, and the rebels in Youdu are rebuilding the city on the ground. Countless settlements in the desert are also rushing to this new oasis. Everything is getting better, and more people are needed to help, but you are leaving at this time..."
“I am a person who often regrets.”
Bai Qiu spoke slowly, but his eyes were fixed on the red-haired man squatting on the windowsill. With a fake smile on his face, he said, "You are the one who invited me, and you are the one who questioned my behavior. Oh, my God, my colleagues are suspicious of me on the first day of my job change. I want to regret it."
Mingji rolled his eyes. "Damn it, it's so annoying. I won't say anything. It's none of my business if you die anyway."
After that, he jumped out of the window and hurriedly chased in the direction where the black-haired boy left.
Bai Qiu, who was standing in the house, gradually stopped smiling and murmured in a low voice: "Wild Dog..."
At this time, Chu Xiuyan was rushing wildly on the sand outside the kingdom.
He originally intended to give the fragment of the heart of the desert god to the natives, the giants, and crawl on them, but there was no one who accepted it - no, or was there one who wanted it.
It was that mysterious creature that refused to break out of its shell and spent every day with its eggshell on its head. When the giant took Zhang Chun and the others to their death, this creature was squatting in the underworld, watching from afar.
Although his presence was very low, he had been following the large group and observing secretly since he was brought out from Base 23.
Now, it followed Chu Xiuyan closely, rubbing him with its eggshell from time to time, as if it was acting coquettishly.
System: [It seems to want that heart fragment.]
Chu Xiuyan hurried forward? : [Remove "like", damn, I won't give it to you. What if this little guy is too naive and is assimilated by the fragments of the heart of the desert god, and then the garbage god is reincarnated? What should I do? ]
At this moment, Dan, who was following behind and acting like a spoiled child, seemed to realize the boy's rejection. He fell to the ground and began to roll back and forth. His chirping voice was full of grievance and discomfort.
Giants and creepers were attracted.
The former half squatted down as if to comfort the other, but the latter was one step faster and directly hit the eggs impatiently with his tail, trying to make the other quiet down.
Chu Xiuyan crossed his arms and said with some pride: "Learn, and learn from me, little guy, do you know that we have a custom called tearing the umbrella?"
The giant suddenly spoke up: "It wants to break out of its shell."
Chu Xiuyan’s laughter was stuck, “What??”
"It is a creature that should not exist, just like us. Before it breaks out of its shell, it is at the critical point between existence and non-existence. Once it breaks out of its shell, it will be rejected by the world and will soon become weak and die. Therefore, it needs this fragment to become the core origin of its birth."
The giant egg on the sand had several cracks in it, and it rubbed against the boy's feet, making a chirping sound as if it was acting like a spoiled child.
Chu Xiuyan stared at it for a while. The heart fragment in his palm seemed to be getting hot. The system reminded him timidly: [It has increased! It has increased again! 5.6%! What the hell? It has increased so much? So fast!]
Just as it was panicking, it heard the host say, "I don't feel comfortable giving this fragment to the uncles. This thing will definitely try every means to contaminate them. But it's not safe to put it on me either. I will also be assimilated. You don't want it either. So, is that the case?..."
The black-haired boy slowly squatted down and placed the hot heart fragment on the surface of the eggshell, with a serious expression on his face: "If you are assimilated into the desert god, I will do my best to kill you. But if you are still who you are now after you come to the world, then tell me your real name - I think the name "Little Egg" is not suitable as a formal name, right?"
"grumble!"
The giant translated: "It said that it must be able to kill the consciousness of the desert god."
As soon as the words fell, under the gaze of the two huge creatures and a young boy, the golden fragment slowly turned into liquid and merged into the eggshell. The next second, the cracks and holes on the surface of the eggshell disappeared again, turning back into a brand new, seamless giant egg.
"Rehatch it." The giant held up the giant egg, stood up and said, "I will take care of it, don't worry."
Chu Xiuyan hurriedly followed: "I want to hatch the eggs too! I want to hatch them too!"
So, when Mingji wandered outside the sand for a long time before he saw the figure of a young man rushing over, he saw him holding an egg and talking to himself.
He? Without even taking a breath, he shouted from afar while still in the air: "Yun Yan, do you know--"
In the sky, the black-haired boy on the sand looked up, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
The system said: [Tsk, this guy came at an inopportune time, are we going to leave? ]
The next second, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
Chu Xiuyan opened his eyes again. It was still the familiar bedroom. Outside the window? There was a lot of traffic, the weather was clear, and the sun was shining.
Good? Great, the problem is almost solved!
Although there are some good and obvious questions, he will know them after two days. So, he doesn't care about it now. He rolls happily on the bed, thinking that the next thing is the book signing event.
Feel refreshed!
The system is also happy, [Divine pollution 3.2%, good?! ]
**
Lin Jie stood on the roadside outside the book signing venue and waited for her good friend.
I saw the other person running towards me, his face flushed, and he said excitedly: "I just saw the Yunyan group across the street! Oh my god, they are here too! I feel that the upcoming book signing event will be very lively, and the scene of a group of Yunyan taking photos with the author is exciting just to think about it!"
Lin Jie was silent for a while, then asked, "Are there any? Anyone with black hair and red eyes?"
Friends: "Yes? Ah, the one from the last comic exhibition? The one with black hair from the Yunyan group? He seems to be called the leader."
Lin Jie was silent and silent, but finally couldn't help but gasp wildly.
She turned and walked to the pharmacy next door? .
Good? The friend pulled her back and asked, "Where are you going? It's time to enter!"
Lin Jie said firmly: "I'm going to buy a mask, I have to cover my face!"
