Chapter 148 Extra Thousand and One Nights
Within seven days after the God's Selection, all trialists can enter the God's Tower and exchange their popularity points for what they need.
As the FMVP of the seven universes, and the chief MVP and most popular person in each copy, Dong Jin's popularity points are even more than the sum of the 2nd and 1st trialists.
Even with such popularity points, after he exchanged for the extremely expensive random godhead, most of it was gone in an instant.
"Dionysus godhead?" The next second, Dong Jin looked at the golden godhead between his fingers with some surprise.
He didn't even need to test it, he could be sure that this godhead was extremely compatible with Kai - carnival and wine are a perfect match, not to mention that Kai's nature is compatible with strong liquor.
Kai had once looked for this godhead, but he hadn't heard of anyone having it, so he had to give up in the end. He didn't expect that this thing had always been in the will of the universe.
The godhead of the Tower of Gods has been at the top of the shopping mall for so long, but no one has really bought it.
Under normal circumstances, the FMVP and the god and devil who chose him would share the energy equally. At this time, the FMVP is basically in a semi-god state. At that time, he/she only needs to use his/her popularity to exchange for the remaining half of the energy, which is enough for him/her to become a god and condense the godhead.
So before this round of God's Choice, this option to exchange the godhead was left there, purely for viewing. I'm afraid the will of the universe of the highest universe didn't expect that any trialer would really exchange the godhood, and what he exchanged was the extremely powerful Dionysus godhood.
"Humph, Kai got it cheap." Lei Ming, who entered the tower with Dong Jin, sneered when he saw this.
Except for energy, Lei Ming had basically no use for the things he won in the game between gods and demons, so he simply threw them all to Dong Jin and let Dong Jin use them at will. Dong Jin also didn't need most of them. He thought about it and finally decided to use these things as a return gift. According to the list of olive branches given to him before, he selected gifts suitable for those gods and demons one by one.
The other gods and demons were easy to deal with, but Kai and Bist were difficult to return the gifts.
To Lei Ming, what was there to return? Being fooled was entirely because they were not as skilled as others. Dong Jin did not ask them to pay tuition fees, but he also asked them to pay compensation? He would never dream of such a thing.
But who made Dong Jin accept the olive branch?
This little butterfly never liked to owe others things, so Lei Ming could only let him do what he wanted.
After quickly scanning the catalog of the shopping mall, Dong Jin did not use the remaining popularity points to buy the items he had listed before, but used them to buy a seemingly ordinary flower.
This single flower, which looked like a black mandala, directly deducted his entire balance with just one flower - because it was a highly poisonous thing that grew in an extremely hot place in a high-risk universe, and it could even be called the most poisonous in all universes.
However, this thing is a deadly flower to others, but it is a great supplement to the already highly toxic beasts.
So what else could be more suitable for Bist?
Dong Jin, who was so poor that he couldn't even afford an isolation tank, looked at Lei Ming, who reluctantly conjured up an extremely simple glass tank: "How can a piece of dragon scale be worth this price?"
Lei Ming was just lying.
As the reverse scale born when Bist was resurrected, the fact that it makes people immune to all poisons is precious enough.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that many things in the God Tower could only be exchanged for popularity points, Bist would lack the channel to exchange for Mandragora, and he himself had no use for Dragon Scale because of his full poison resistance. In terms of value alone, this piece of reverse scale is much more valuable than Mandragora.
Dong Jin did not think about
returning the things to their original owners. However, in the God's Chosen Ceremony, the implicit effect of the Dragon Scale had been absorbed by him during the energy flushing. He couldn't return a Dragon Scale that had lost its effect to the other party, right? After exchanging these things, Dong Jin did not send them out immediately, but packed them up like the previously prepared return gifts, and prepared to send them out one by one in person after the gods and demons had dealt with all the subsequent matters of the God's Chosen and returned to the Supreme Universe together.
After all, he was not only returning the gift, but also taking this opportunity to confirm which gods and demons had a grudge against him - he didn't have that much time to waste with others, so this hidden danger must be completely resolved at the beginning. Fortunately,
the gods and demons of the highest universe are willful by nature. Although they are a bit too reckless in doing things, there are almost no gods and demons who hold grudges because of an olive branch.
Because there were so many gods and demons who extended olive branches to him at the beginning, more than half a month had passed when Dong Jin had almost dealt with the matter.
"Little Butterfly, are you still not done? On a day like today, no matter what those guys do, most of them are not even as strong as you." It was the beginning of July, and Dong Jin, who had only two gifts left to return and was planning to finish them all today, was suddenly stopped by Lei Ming.
Dong Jin glanced at Lei Ming meaningfully after hearing this.
If he were alone, he would just send the gift directly, regardless of whether they accepted it or not. But with Lei Ming's level of attracting hatred, if he doesn't pay attention, this guy might fall at any time.
It's true that only one god or demon is not strong.
But how did he break the record and pass the level the fastest in the final copy? It was a butterfly effect one after another.
However, Dong Jin didn't say a word about these, but walked out of the temple alone - he never brought Lei Ming with him when returning the gifts, after all, if he brought that guy with him, he would have to make enemies on the spot even if there was no hatred before.
Anyway, now no matter whether it is day or night, as long as the sun and moonlight shine on him, Lei Ming can sense his whereabouts, so it doesn't matter whether this person follows him out or not.
The first stop today is Kai's Temple of Rapture.
This temple located in the highest universe is exactly the same style as the one in Kaiden Tower. If there is any difference between the two, it is probably that the former is more expensive.
"Dionysus Godhead?" After receiving the gift box from Dong Jin and seeing the Godhead in the box, Kai said the same words as Dong Jin when he first got the Godhead.
Because this is really too coincidental.
There are thousands of Godheads in the world, but the one that Dong Jin got randomly is the one that suits him the most.
Just like he has so many Godheads in his hands, but when he saw Dong Jin for the first time, he felt that only Bai Zhou was suitable for him.
"It is indeed it. If we use it to exchange for the daylight, it should be a win-win for both of us, right? So are we even now?"
Kai knew what Dong Jin meant - from the beginning to the end, he had never given him any illusions. Whenever Kai met Dong Jin, he would always be rejected, rejected, and rejected again.
But it didn't matter, he no longer cared about it.
"From the perspective of the godhead, we are even now." Kai smiled and watched Dong Jin leave. Then he used the newly acquired godhood of Dionysus to fill all the utensils in his palace with wine, and toasted the latter's back from afar.
Dong Jin was to him like wine was to carnival, and they were always indispensable.
Now that the godhood of Dionysus has arrived, his feast of ecstasy is still waiting.
Dong Jin had no other options for Kai, who had no bottom line. The long time would always dilute the enthusiasm of the moment, so he walked towards Bist's temple without much care.
Compared with the tolerable relationship with Kai, he and Bist were completely out of touch with the word "friend". It was not impossible for Bist to stab him on the spot.
Therefore, Dong Jin acted without scruples. He threw the isolation bottle in his hand directly over: "This is Ni Lin's return gift. Although it can't be called an equivalent, it is also the most poisonous thing in the universe."
I don't know which word Dong Jin said touched Bist. The moment he finished speaking, the beast god showed a mocking smile: "-That's it?"
Bist said and took the black mandala out of the bottle. The flower that killed others when touched had no power in his hand. Then the beast god suddenly ignited a black flame between his fingers, and in just a moment, the whole mandala was covered.
Dong Jin didn't know whether this guy was replenishing it in a unique way or simply didn't like the flower and wanted to burn it. Anyway, the gift had been delivered, so he simply left without looking back.
So what he didn't see was that the next second after he turned around, the cold flame gradually faded.
The black mandala that should have been burned was not only intact, but also became an everlasting flower that never withers.
"The most poisonous thing?" Playing with the flower in his palm, Bist's sarcasm in his smile became more and more undisguised, "The most poisonous thing in the universe is you, Dong Jin."
Even though his poison resistance was full, he was still dizzy from the poison again and again.
The flower language of the black mandala seems to be revenge, right?
One day in the future, it would not be surprising even if he was poisoned to death by Dong Jin.
"Today is July 7, Dong Jin. It's not your birthday, but you spent half a day giving gifts to others?" Dong Jin had just returned to the newly built Daylight and Reality Temple. Lei Ming, who had been waiting for a long time, could no longer bear to point out today's date.
He finally realized that even if he projected today's date on the wall, even if he reminded Dong Jin that today was a special day, as long as he didn't mention the word "birthday", this little butterfly would not be aware of it at all!
Obviously, he is so sensitive about other things, why is he so indifferent to his own affairs? !
"Birthday?" Dong Jin, who has never celebrated any birthday since he traveled through time, really didn't care about this day. Today he noticed that someone had put something in the mailbox in front of the temple, but he didn't have time to see it.
Now that he thinks about it, maybe it was a gift from some gods and demons in the highest universe?
"Okay... I should have done this from the beginning." Lei Ming sighed, then directly picked up the little butterfly and lowered his head to meet his eyes, "-- You have given so many gifts to others, now it's your turn to accept my birthday gift."
"Relax a little, Dong Jin, and then enjoy your most wanton life."
Knowing that Lei Ming was using the divine power, Dong Jin did not resist and let the other party's divine power sweep his consciousness.
When he opened his eyes again, his consciousness had returned to the time when he just crossed over.
Dong Jin instantly understood what the gift from Lei Ming was.
No wonder Lei Ming didn't insist on following him when he was dealing with the gift-returning matters these days, but stayed in the temple and kept trying to use the godhood - it turned out that Lei Ming was trying to use the real and dramatic godhood to construct a more real illusion, allowing his consciousness to restart and accelerate countless times in it, and he has been trying countless lives since the beginning.
As for why Lei Ming did this...
It was probably because he was too quiet about the follow-up of the olive branch these days, which made Lei Ming unable to bear it.
Lei Ming wanted to tell him through this - he only needed to dance by himself from beginning to end.
He didn't have to worry at all, no matter which choice he made, the same brilliance and splendor was waiting for him.
Now it seems that Lei Ming's attempt was unusually successful.
In terms of the use of godhood, this strongest person in the highest universe is indeed a genius among geniuses and a monster among monsters.
Dong Jin first tried to play a plague doctor line that was mentioned before.
He manually escaped from jail not long after the start of the game and wandered freely among the planets in the universe.
As time continued to accelerate, he had already played the ending of "King of the Universe" before he became an adult. The extreme force brought by this line made him not have to enter the dream dungeon at all. After the God's Choice was opened, he killed from beginning to end in the God's Choice, and finally reached the top of FMVP alone with unreasonable strength.
Dong Jin then tried a series of other routes, but stopped abruptly after playing the thousandth ending and took the initiative to exit this dream that seemed real
and fake. The time in dreams is not consistent with that in reality.
Dong Jin had been in a dream for a long time, but in reality it was only half a day. After waking up, Dong Jin found himself leaning on Lei Ming's legs. Lei Ming, who had just been playing with his hair, immediately looked at him with a little surprise with his golden eyes downcast after he closed his eyes - he thought Dong Jin would play longer.
Although he was puzzled, Lei Ming still smiled and asked, "How was the fun, little butterfly? This gift is pretty good, right?"
Dong Jin did not answer immediately, but sat up straight against the muscle on Lei Ming's leg, and then talked about something that seemed unrelated at first: "A long time ago, I read a story called "One Thousand and One Nights."①
"It tells the story of a girl who tells an unfinished story to a cruel king every night. After telling it for one thousand and one nights, the king fell completely in love with her."
"Does it sound like a fairy tale? After I played a thousand endings in the fantasy world, I suddenly thought of it for some reason. Then I began to think, is this story about the king being moved by the girl in the end, or the girl falling in love with the king in one midnight after another."
In Lei Ming's thoughtful silence, Dong Jin continued: "Your gift is very good, the best gift I have ever received, and I had a lot of fun. But those endings are enough, and there would be no fun in having more."
At this point, Dong Jin looked quietly at the stormy god, "- because I already had the most perfect 1,001st night. And now is the 1,001st ending, the one in which you alone exist."
"This is also the ending I want most." Dong Jin said as he lowered his eyes and kissed Lei Ming.
A thousand endings are nice, and being able to do whatever one wants is indeed very tempting, but only now, only at this moment, is it his first and last choice.
Not to mention a thousand times. Even if he is allowed to choose ten thousand times, he will still go to Lei Ming and go to the current ending.
"What's going on... Dong Jin." Lei Ming, who already understood what Dong Jin was talking about, said in distress, "It's your birthday, why do I seem to be the one receiving the gift in the end?"
After that, he stopped worrying about it and just hugged Dong Jin, smiling and kissing her back.
Just like what the final MVP episode said.
- A stunning glimpse in the desolate day;
- Sleeping with you in the endless night.
