Chapter 78, Update 1: "The Duel of the Fall of Two Gods" is now open."
In the following year, neither Xia Xifeng nor Qin Lang received any more system story missions.
They traveled back and forth between the City of Hope and the human imperial capital, Atlantis. Qin Lang consolidated his basics while killing monsters, while Xia Xifeng helped his apprentices improve their skill proficiency.
They are not like players, nor are they saviors who can turn the tide. Instead, they are just like all the indigenous people in this world, participating in this apocalyptic crisis.
The situation worsened step by step, but Xia Xifeng felt a sense of security.
To be honest, I felt great and inflated when I was the hero who turned the tide, but I also felt a lot of pressure.
After all, Xia Xifeng was just a silly college student. Suddenly, the weight of the world fell on his shoulders. Even if he was optimistic, the psychological pressure was still great.
Now he saw that people all over the world were saving themselves, and he was just an ordinary member of the self-help group, even hiding behind big guys like Sur and Amuruo, and suddenly the pressure was reduced.
Xia Xifeng told Qin Lang about his feelings, but Qin Lang just rolled his eyes at Xia Xifeng.
Carrying the weight of another world on one's shoulders? Putting aside the question of whether such a thought was arrogant or not, Xia Xifeng's self-inflicted troublemaking personality was still quite speechless.
Xia Xifeng scratched his head and did not refute Qin Lang this time.
He also felt that he was quite speechless, but since he had become a "chosen youth", it was only natural for him to have a sense of responsibility, right?
Qin Lang walked in front, and Xia Xifeng kept muttering behind him, insisting that Qin Lang recognize him.
The two of them walked around in circles, attracting the attention of others.
Qin Lang felt very embarrassed, but he was helpless as he couldn't get rid of Xia Xifeng, who had maxed out his running skill.
Another winter has passed, and there are still two years until the end of the world.
Xia Xifeng blew his hands, looked at the thawing ground, and organized this year's spring plowing.
The Harvest Church was also affected by the war and attacked by the minions of the Outer Gods.
According to the instructions of the God of Harvest, the Church of Harvest moved its temple to the City of Hope and fully assisted Xia Xifeng in ensuring food security.
Xia Xifeng also learned that the real god behind the God of Harvest is the God of Life.
The God of Life has many subordinate gods, such as the God of Nature.
Compared to the Sun and Water Gods who wear disguises themselves, the subordinate gods of the God of Life are all real subordinate gods, and they only borrow disguises occasionally.
His favorite vest is harvest.
Because of the harvest, we can see many smiles, and He likes such vibrant smiles.
The God of Life is closely related to the gods in charge of light and water. After the God of Sun and Water suffered heavy losses, He also suffered heavy losses immediately.
When the rules of death are twisted, the rules of life become twisted too.
Generally speaking, although He was not on the verge of death, He was not having an easy time either.
Although the "divinity" of the God of Life will not be destroyed as long as the creatures in the dream world are not in danger of extinction, the "personality" may not be destroyed.
Amuruo's comment on this is that the personality of the gods does not matter, as long as the divinity is fine.
Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang listened to Leo's gossip. Hope said that the God of Life was made to cry by Amuruo.
I don't know why Hope Day keeps gossiping about Leo, the God of Birth Day's favored one. Whether the God of Life is angry and crying, or Hope Day is telling Leo that the God of Life is angry and crying, it's hard to judge.
However, it can be seen from this that the gods all came to their senses before the end of the world, and they all tried to save themselves and each other, and they would not die suddenly in a daze.
The rules of light and water have not been completely distorted. The World Tree still creates a large number of "safe spots" in the dream world. The night is also blessed by half of the Silver Moon. The God of Life can still be angered to tears, and the God of Death also recovered early... The end of this world will definitely be much easier than the end of the world in the game.
Xia Xifeng thought about the apocalypse in the game where most of the world was reduced to ruins, and then looked at the present day where everyone was full of vitality to cope with the coming "apocalypse". He was very optimistic about the future situation.
Even without millions of players working as laborers, the abominable Outer Gods will surely fail.
Xia Xifeng actually wanted to wander around a little longer before the end of the world, but was stopped by Suer and Amuruo.
The two people's realms have improved too quickly and need to be polished.
Xia Xifeng didn't care, as he could make things anywhere. But Qin Lang needed more time to figure it out.
Although Qin Lang has amazing fighting talent, he lacks combat experience.
In real-life combat, a single untimely reaction could mean the difference between life and death. Although Leo and Perilla were only slightly older than Qin Lang, they had both started training before they were ten and had over a decade of combat experience. Qin Lang had only been in this world for two years.
Although Qin Lang behaved like a seasoned fighter in the dungeon, in Amuruo's eyes he still made many mistakes.
Only when Amuruo approves Qin Lang's apprenticeship can he let the two of them run around in this increasingly dangerous world.
Qin Lang quickly completed the basic combat courses at the Imperial Capital Academy. After that, in addition to clearing dungeons and accepting the instruction of Amuruo's clone every day - Amuruo himself was putting out fires and rescuing people in various divine realms, he was also a firefighter, going to various places to clear corrupted monsters and accumulating more combat experience in a safe team.
When Qin Lang went to be a firefighter, Xia Xifeng always felt empty in his heart.
Qin Lang wasn't strong enough to create an avatar like Amuruo, able to accompany Xia Xifeng across different dimensions. Although the chat system didn't consider distance, Xia Xifeng still felt uncomfortable without Qin Lang in person.
Even though he already has many friends in this other world.
Xia Xifeng would not tell such weak words to anyone, but would only think about it in his heart.
However, after Qin Lang went out on field missions alone a few times, he took the initiative to suggest not going out alone anymore.
"It's just teamwork. I already know how to do it." Qin Lang said to Amuruo, "Combat experience can be gained in the Battle Tower. The God of Evolution is dying. In order to complete the Battle Tower before he dies, He has agreed that I can enter the Battle Tower at any time."
Amuruo said, "Fighting in reality can accumulate more fame and money. The God of Evolution only opened the Battle Tower to you, but he doesn't intend to give you any extra rewards."
Qin Lang said: "That kind of thing doesn't matter. I have enough money and resources." With Xia Xifeng, the hardcore player, around, he doesn't lack these.
Amuruo said unhappily, "You'll only be gone for a few days to help. Are you anxious just because you're away for a few days?"
Qin Lang said: "It has nothing to do with Xia Xifeng."
Amuruo sneered: "Did I mention Feng's name?"
Qin Lang: “…” You said we’re breaking up, who else could it be other than Xia Xifeng?
Amuruo originally thought that Qin Lang, like herself, needed to be self-reliant and build up her own resources. Unexpectedly, Qin Lang was so self-assured about being a freeloader for Xia Xifeng, lacking any self-respect and showing no intention of earning money or resources on his own.
Forget it then.
If the two younger generations are anxious about separation, then let’s not separate.
Amuruo was very curious about how anxious they would be if one day in the future they were accidentally separated for a period of time due to irresistible forces.
However, with the Father's doting, the teleportation scroll can even break through the realm of the gods. This possibility is not high, so Amuruo thought about it mischievously.
When Qin Lang told Xia Xifeng that he would not go out on field work alone in the future, Xia Xifeng was stunned for a moment.
Although Qin Lang didn't give a reason and Xia Xifeng didn't ask, he always felt that he was in a strange mood.
It's that kind of self-conceit, where you think the other person has discovered your feelings, or that the other person has the same separation anxiety as you.
Of course, Xia Xifeng would not ask such a question, it was quite embarrassing.
He suppressed his strange mood and pretended not to care.
Although his mouth widened a little when he heard that Qin Lang no longer went out alone.
Qin Lang saw that Xia Xifeng was very happy, but he did not end his field work because of Xia Xifeng.
Qin Lang is a loner by nature and doesn't like to interact with strangers.
He found that accumulating combat experience through field work was not as efficient as climbing a tower, so he was simply too lazy to go out.
Xia Xifeng couldn't hide his thoughts—even if he did, Qin Lang would be able to see through them at a glance. Qin Lang realized that Xia Xifeng had misunderstood him and opened his mouth to explain, but Xia Xifeng didn't say anything. His explanation seemed strange, so he just kept quiet and pretended not to notice.
But looking at Xia Xifeng's bright eyes, Qin Lang felt a little uncomfortable.
Maybe he was misunderstood and felt very upset.
Another year passed, the situation outside became worse and worse, the war spread wider and wider, but the City of Hope became more and more prosperous.
Qin Lang is still unknown, and only a handful of people know that he is a young legendary class and Amuruo's apprentice.
And this is just his identity and has nothing to do with his reputation.
Xia Xifeng's reputation spread far and wide.
Even ordinary mercenaries knew that there was a very young Master Xia who was proficient in potions and refining.
Master Xia cared about the common people and never kept anything to himself. He not only made many cheap recipes public, but also worked hard to ensure increased grain production.
Although Master Xia claimed not to be a favored member of the Harvest God, the Harvest Church's main hall had been relocated to the City of Hope. Those favored by the Harvest God who had participated in the divine war over the past year were extremely respectful of Master Xia, believing him to be the "favored one" who truly adhered to the Harvest God's ideals. This further heightened the public's reverence for Master Xia.
No matter where you are, anyone who can make the land produce more food will always be appreciated.
However, the nobles were not very interested in Xia Xifeng.
Everything Xia Xifeng made was considered “inferior goods” to the nobles. The special attack magic device against corrupted monsters that could be used by common people was naturally not a particularly good thing, and the production-increasing method that did not require druids to cast spells was not applicable to them.
Of course, they could also use more "inferior products" to equip ordinary soldiers, and the farmers under their rule could provide more food, but they themselves did not need these, so naturally they did not value Xia Xifeng very much.
Even though they are also Xia Xifeng's big customers, they themselves cannot use the things Xia Xifeng makes, so they cannot respect Xia Xifeng.
Many people also thought that Xia Xifeng would not make high-end things.
Xia Xifeng would naturally make high-end things that would make the world's top fighters jealous, but he just wouldn't sell them.
Rare equipment, magic devices, and potions are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and require a lot of materials. Xia Xifeng either uses them for himself or sells them to the system.
The City of Hope was running smoothly, and he was no longer short of real money. He had almost paid off the loan from Teacher Suer.
Real currency cannot be converted into system currency. He and Qin Lang need money to upgrade skills and clear dungeons. The good things in the system mall are ridiculously expensive. It is more important to earn system coins.
Among the top nobles, only the King of Atlantis knew how powerful Xia Xifeng was.
Riccio will not tell anyone about it, just enjoy it quietly.
Xia Xifeng never spared any effort when crafting equipment for his friends. All he had to do was provide the materials.
Li Qiao wanted to pay Xia Xifeng for his craftsmanship, but Xia Xifeng refused. Li Qiao then collected more rare materials for Xia Xifeng and gave them to him as gifts.
Xia Xifeng really didn't think that there was any need for crafting fees for equipment given to friends, as they were all generated by the system with one click anyway.
Teacher Su'er can make the equipment for Mr. Su'er and Mr. Amuruo, so his craftsmanship is not necessary. The two halfling friends can also find valuable items from Teacher Su'er's treasury, and the Sunflower Family itself has a rich treasury.
Xia Xifeng spent a lot of time and effort to make the equipment by hand, and only he and Qin Lang knew how to wear it.
Although after perfect production, the system can generate the equipment he has made with one click, but Qin Lang upgrades very quickly. Even if the attributes change a little bit, Xia Xifeng wants to make a new set, so he can only do it by hand.
Time passed quickly as the two of them leveled up and practiced their skills. When Xia Xifeng almost forgot that there were any tasks in the system, the system released another story mission after more than a year.
[The "Double Gods Fall" instance has been opened. Please prepare to travel through it.]
Xia Xifeng, who was thinking about what pattern to embroider on Qin Lang's new clothes, almost pricked her finger.
Qin Lang also put down the book he was reading.
"The God of Evolution and the God of Wisdom are dying."
"Um."
