Chapter 138: I asked you to go undercover, so you became the enemy boss? (6k)
[You completed the side quest - Curse of Strange Knowledge]
[Quest Description: When you look directly into the wise eyes of the God of Knowledge, you will have a 1/3 chance of obtaining a piece of correct strange knowledge, a 1/3 chance of obtaining an incorrect piece of strange knowledge, and a 1/3 chance of being killed directly by the strange knowledge.]
If you're reading this, congratulations! You've survived the onslaught of knowledge emanating from the spirit of an ancient god's corpse, and have been granted an opportunity to significantly enhance your skill proficiency.
[Your overall personal rating has been greatly improved]
Well, it turns out closing your eyes really does help.
I didn't expect the way to circumvent this thing would be so simple and unpretentious.
But then again, who can resist looking at a cute and somewhat silly-looking chubby cat without knowing the truth?
Lu Wenwu habitually reached out and touched the little fat cat.
When you pick it up, you feel a sense of illusion yet a bit of reality, and it does have a furry and soft touch.
But the little fat cat's body had no temperature, like a doll nailed there.
No matter how hard it tried, it couldn't move the little fat cat even a little bit.
Lu Wenwu stared at it from behind for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He took out a cat toy from his backpack and waved it twice in front of the little fat cat.
Suddenly, the little fat cat's eyes, as dull as a sculpture, seemed to tremble slightly, and its eyeballs moved back and forth with the cat toy.
Then, it moved its round head flexibly like an ordinary domestic kitten, spinning clockwise along the fur tassels in front of the cat toy.
Until finally it turned 180 degrees, tilted its head back to look at the cat toy, and its tail was wagging gently.
The God of Knowledge, whose original form was a chubby cat, is now dead, and his remaining soul likes to play with cat toys.
I didn't expect that I could actually attract the other party!
I can pet the cat on the road later, it’s comfortable.
Lu Wenwu felt a little happy and reached out to grab the little fat cat again.
This time, the chaotic remnant soul of the God of Knowledge was picked up easily like an ordinary kitten.
Lu Wenwu took out the black sunglasses specially for kittens that he had given to Xiaobao to play with and put them on the little fat cat's face, then looked into its eyes again.
No trigger judgment!
Very good, there will really be a cat to pet on the road later!
After all, Felynx isn't a real cat, so it feels weird to touch.
Let’s go, target new city!
At the end of the suspension bridge, a group of people were waiting anxiously, fearing that Lu Wenwu would suddenly die in the middle of the suspension bridge.
No one dared to open their eyes just now, and no one could sense what Lu Wenwu had seen before deciding to let them go first.
Now, all they can do is wait anxiously.
A few minutes later, the group of people who were staring at the bridge were dumbfounded.
They only saw Lu Wenwu, who had entered empty-handed before, now walking out with a smile on his face, holding a well-behaved, cute and a little silly little fat cat.
Moreover, the little fat cat is wearing a pair of small sunglasses with round lenses on its face, which looks very funny.
"Young Master, what is this?" Long Yuanhai hurried forward.
He didn't ask such stupid questions as "Are you feeling well?" or "Are you injured?"
There's no need to ask about something that's obvious at a glance.
"Oh, you mean this little fat cat?"
Lu Wenwu picked up one of its chubby little paws and waved it.
"This is the curse of the cat god you mentioned. It's actually the god of knowledge. It wasn't completely dead back then, so this is what's left of its soul. It's lost its intelligence, only some instincts."
"Your method of crossing the bridge with your eyes closed is correct. Any creature that makes eye contact with the fat cat will undergo a judgment. There's a certain chance of receiving a piece of trivia, a certain chance of receiving an incorrect trivia, and a certain chance of dying directly."
"call"
Long Haiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease, and a smile appeared on his old face again.
"Fortunately, the young master is blessed with good fortune and luck, and has not met with an immediate death. Otherwise, if something happened to the young master, this world would be in turmoil."
"No, I'd die if I encountered one." Lu Wenwu said casually while petting the cat, "I tried to judge it over two hundred times before I encountered it. I'm not very lucky."
Long Haiyuan: “???”
Teammates who just came over: “???”
no?
Then why didn't you die?
And why the hell are you looking for death?
Three people, one bird, and one face that said, "Are you kidding me?"
Lu Wenwu released Maomao again and continued, "You can survive the instant death effect with immunity items. After surviving it, you can gain a temporary status that can significantly increase the proficiency level of a skill."
"Well, at least I can bring the blank board to the pinnacle. The skills I have acquired have reached that level, but I can't say for sure. If you have items or abilities that can revive or make you immune to instant death, you can try it."
"Fuck!"
The two people and the bird burst out with the national quintessence at the same time.
Long Yuanhai was confused.
He didn't know what it meant to reach the pinnacle.
"Wow, you've reached the pinnacle of perfection!" The pretentious AC cow was so envious that his dick turned purple. "I've been studying swordsmanship for a long time, and I've only just managed to improve my swordsmanship to the level of a first-generation master."
"I almost quacked!" The big crow, even after transforming into a human, still couldn't stop croaking. "If I hadn't lacked that precious item, I would definitely have tried it. This opportunity is too rare, quack!"
Xu Changjiang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Brother Tyrannosaurus must have stumbled upon a skill that's already at the pinnacle of perfection. His talent is truly incredible. With this wave of talent, he'll have a good chance of breaking through to the S-rank and becoming a master of all arts!"
"A master of all arts? I'm already one? That spiritual food egg pancake you ate before is it." Lu Wenwu was a little confused. "That one is not difficult. All you need is hands. It just takes more time."
“???????”
“!!!!!!”
"Wdnmd!"
As soon as these ordinary words were spoken, the two men and the bird were instantly petrified.
Is it easy to master all the skills? All you need is hands?
Very good, Tyrannosaurus has successfully proved that we have no hands.
Seeing his three teammates looking distraught, Lu Wenwu scratched the little fat cat's head in confusion, wondering why they were so depressed.
There's no need to be so sad about missing out on an opportunity to increase your skill proficiency, right?
You can catch up by using a few more 20x acceleration cards!
If the three teammates knew what Lu Wenwu was thinking, they would be so furious that they would want to strangle him to death together.
Why don’t you eat some meat, you beast whose mind is only focused on purity and egg-filled pancakes!
Long Yuanhai watched happily from the side.
Although he could not quite understand what Lu Wenwu and the others were talking about, he knew that his young master seemed to be very awesome, so awesome that it made others obviously feel despair.
So, he was already very happy.
In the past nearly five hundred years, except for his carefree childhood, Long Yuanhai has never been as happy as he has been in the past few days.
The tribe is no longer in danger of extinction, has the protection of the young master, and can follow the young master to participate in an action that can save the continent. Nothing can be more exciting than this.
Even the rotten blood that had long been extinguished seemed to become hot again in the past few days!
As for whether Lu Wenwu is really the descendant of Dragon Ancestor, and whether Xu Changjiang and others are really the old ministers of Dragon Palace, does it matter?
Nature is unimportant.
Lu Wenwu saved the Shenlong tribe.
If he is willing to call himself the descendant of the Dragon Ancestor, then he is, it's that simple.
The road to the new city is not easy to walk on.
The first half is still in the territory where strange beasts gather, and it is almost difficult to see living new humans.
Long Yuanhai used his rich experience to continue to lead a few people to protect the Viet Cong, and his main strategy was to circumvent, dodge and hide.
Occasionally you would run into one from afar, and they were basically explorers who were looking for excitement, or who came from remote cities to look for ancient treasures.
This new human being isn't dangerous, just avoid him.
The diary that Lu Wenwu had picked up in the chaotic maze was written by these new human explorers.
Of course, the original author is most likely already dead in the chaotic maze, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly abandoned the work halfway through and even lost the manuscript.
As for the second half.
That would make it even harder to go.
Five "normal"-looking survivors of the old times are walking in the territory of the new humans. Even if the new humans have weird thoughts, they can find that the other party looks different from themselves!
It was Lu Wenwu who had a brilliant idea. He used the transformation function on his high-level equipment to disguise himself as a new human being and "hijacked" Long Yuanhai as blood food.
This operation was quite successful.
It is not impossible to cross the continent to the ring area to capture old immigrants, but it is very rare.
To improve your strength?
Wouldn't it be nice to join the hunting team and get some blood and hearts of exotic animals?
What's the point of traveling thousands of miles to capture the remnants of the old times?
Oh. Maybe it's just to show off.
Only those who have the ability, resources and spare time can do such boring things for the sake of face.
But it must be said that this does seem very prestigious in the gathering places and cities of the new humans.
Lu Wenwu and others paraded Long Yuanhai through the streets, just like a fisherman who caught a big fish and rode a bicycle for a whole day to stroll around the half-hour walk from home.
Countless strong men among the new humans came over enthusiastically to chat with the socially phobic Lu Wenwu, discussing the process of capturing the remnants of the old times, and secretly inquiring about which big city their gang came from and what the background was.
Lu Wenwu welcomed everyone who came and chatted and laughed with many powerful new humans.
He had read a lot of online novels before crossing over, and he knew at least a thousand of these stories about traveling thousands of miles to catch a rare species and showing off.
Just a slight hint of the surface was enough to make countless new humans excited.
Everyone wished they could cross the gathering area where strange beasts roamed everywhere, capture a few of the old survivors and bring them back to feed them.
Wandering around the BOSS's lair, Lu Wenwu, a player with a big heart, was not nervous at all. He was even occasionally invited to the homes of some new humans to have dinner together and discuss cooking skills.
Don't get me wrong, it's a method of cooking exotic beasts.
Ten thousand years have passed, and the brutality and chaos that were once ingrained in the bones of the new humans have long since faded away.
Although all new humans believe in the God of Origin, they are by default followers of the New Human Evolution Cult.
But not all new humans have such fanatical beliefs. Most of them are only found in cities close to the new city and the heartland of power, where people are willing to sacrifice themselves.
Intelligent creatures have diverse emotions. Even among the Saiyans, who are all known for their bad temper, there can be scholars like Gohan, right?
Therefore, not all new humans treat cannibalism as a daily routine.
The meat of exotic animals is their main source of food.
There are endless exotic beasts, and the new human population is small, so hunting is enough.
Under such circumstances, Lu Wenwu, under the guise of the second generation of the New City Sect, took the opportunity to get the high-level alien beast hearts and flesh and blood of the new human strongmen for free.
I took my brothers to eat along the way, and it felt like the blessed continent on the tip of our tongue.
He didn't know how much benefit the other brothers could get, but he and Maomao definitely had a great time along the way.
Along the way, relying on swindling and cheating to get food and drink from high-level exotic beasts' hearts and flesh, Lu Wenwu's [Physical] attribute has reached a full seven thousand!
[Swallowing Heaven and Earth] The most useful episode about the inheritance of the Spiritual Chef!
If Lu Wenwu fought against the Old Dragon King with his current attributes, he would definitely not be as miserable as before, and he even had half of his head broken off before he barely won.
The heart of the strange beast is so terrifying.
Even Long Yuanhai was fed a lot of earth-level alien beast hearts by him on the grounds that "feeding more powerful ones will make you more prestigious when showing off."
Even in his old age, the master was able to break through a small realm and is now at the peak of the Earth level!
If you can enjoy your retirement in the future, living to six or seven hundred years old will not be a problem.
Lu Wenwu has always been generous to his companions.
If he eats meat, everyone should at least drink soup.
This is true even for companions you've only known for two days.
On the fifteenth day since they set out from the Shenlong Tribe, which was also the sixteenth day from the start of the dungeon, the exhausted group finally arrived at the new city in Longyuanhaikou.
Several more players died, and there are now a total of sixteen left.
At this point, the banner of the second generation of Xincheng religion is no longer effective.
In fact, this trick didn't work very well the day before yesterday.
When Lu Wenwu was bragging, he was discovered on the spot by a newcomer who knew Xincheng better.
Then Lu Wenwu had to send him to meet his beloved God of Origin, and decided to claim that he was coming from Dongyu City (a small border town he passed by) to make a pilgrimage and offer treasures.
He had inquired about it all, and this reason was definitely valid.
For an old survivor at the peak of the Earth level, this treasure is extremely valuable.
The new humans are not completely isolated from information.
Because of this valuable gift, Xincheng unexpectedly attached great importance to Lu Wenwu and his group.
When they arrived, they even sent a team of ceremonial personnel from the sect to open the city gates and hold a welcoming ceremony!
When Lu Wenwu saw the strangely distorted city, the city wall that could make Lord Niu so angry that he would open his coffin and jump up and down, and the two rows of unique and bizarre welcoming personnel, he felt as if his brain was strengthened by the picture.
Think about it.
The dark red and black city walls were built with unknown materials around the yellowed bones of strange beasts. They looked like the twisted lines drawn by a child who couldn't use a ruler.
Outside the city wall, two rows of so-called honor guards are of different heights, weights, genders, ages, and all wear funny and ill-fitting animal skin dresses, looking at you with their multiple eyeballs.
And they wave their tentacles and arms and legs regularly, and greet you with at least three mouths on their bodies.
The painting style is absurd yet has a hint of logic, it's so weird.
"Ah! My friend who has come from afar, you must be the Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
The tall man standing at the city gate shouted passionately in a heroic voice and stretched out his six right hands.
"May the God of Origin always guide you."
"May the God of Origin always guide you and me."
Lu Wenwu spoke two auspicious words unique to the new humans through the two mouths transformed from his clothes behind him, and shook hands with him with the six transformed tentacles as a greeting.
"I wonder who you are?"
"Just call me Dal. I'm the ninth vice-chairman of our New Humanity sect." The loud-voiced man was still enthusiastic. "Brother Tyrannosaurus, we're family from now on!"
"A family?" Lu Wenwu, who was holding the chubby cat, was stunned. "Brother Dahl, what do you mean?"
"When the leader heard you were coming a few days ago, he was so happy that he decided to appoint you as the thirteenth deputy leader of our New Human Evolution Divine Religion!" Dahl patted the shoulders of the several people Lu Wenwu had conjured up. "Our sect needs pillars of talent like you!"
Lu Wenwu scratched his little head and asked doubtfully, "Isn't this a bit too hasty? How can I convince the people if I take on the position of deputy leader when I haven't done anything yet?"
"Rash? Of course not my friend."
Dal took Lu Wenwu in his arms, signaled the honor guard to follow, and led the group towards the city.
"I don't know what it's like over there, but at the headquarters of our New Human Evolution Cult, positions are filled by those with the best abilities!"
"Then may I ask, Brother Dahl, what is the standard for judging 'ability'?" Lu Wenwu asked again.
"Of course it depends on the size of your fist."
The twelve mouths on Dahl's body laughed together, and his thirty-eight eyes narrowed into slits.
"You were able to cross the gathering place of strange beasts, reach the ring area, and capture a peak-level Earth-level Old One alive. This means that you are powerful enough to easily kill a peak-level Earth-level strange beast, and you are strong enough to serve as the deputy leader of our sect."
"Those younger brothers following you around, even though they're a little weaker than you, can still become bishops. You can be considered to have your own team."
"Brother, let me tell you."
Lu Wenwu didn't say anything else, but just listened silently to the enthusiastic ninth deputy leader, the talkative Dal, chattering away.
Now he just felt that this new human evolution cult was either too makeshift or had some traps in it.
He prefers the latter.
Just appoint any random strong man you don’t know as the deputy leader?
Even if it is not real power, it is still somewhat abstract.
How big of a ruler must be to do such an outrageous thing?
This is true even if the leader is only a nominal ruler.
Um.
Of course there is a more important reason.
If I really manage to reach such an outrageous position as the deputy leader, is it reasonable for the system not to give me a side quest reward?
Lu Wenwu doesn't think that players need to reach this stage in the normal process.
He also doesn't believe that normal A- and A-level players are capable of getting the position of deputy leader.
Just now, he saw an A-level player disguised as a new human in the welcoming team.
Walking in the "holy city" of the new humans, Lu Wenwu chatted idly while looking at everything in the city calmly.
Countless curious eyes were focused on him, filled with envy and jealousy.
Suddenly, at a certain moment, Lu Wenwu, who was more sensitive, felt a slight palpitation in his heart.
Someone with ulterior motives stared at him with a hint of malice.
That was not actual mental perception, but an intuition and danger instinct similar to that of a wild beast.
Since his [Physical] attribute has become higher and higher, Lu Wenwu's perception of these things has become more and more acute.
The powerful mental force condensed into a beam and looked towards the direction where the gaze was coming from.
The malicious master is a man who looks almost the same as a normal person, but his face is terrifyingly pale and his expression is slightly paranoid and crazy.
The other party didn't seem to have cultivated this kind of thing and didn't realize that Lu Wenwu was spying on him.
[Leader of the Ancient God Evolution Cult/Fifth Deputy Leader of the New Human Evolution Cult, Basil Diawara (A+)]: 215,0000/215,0000
Current Status: Intoxicated, Mad, Stubborn, Excited, Furious, Excited, Alert, Hostile
It’s already cool enough to have a new human evolution cult, but what the hell is this ancient god evolution cult?
And why is he now excited, alert, and hostile to himself?
Lu Wenwu was directly confused.
I didn't provoke him, is there something wrong with me?
After thinking for a second, Lu Wenwu decided to learn from the protagonist of the online novel on the Yangshizi Chinese website and find an opportunity to kill this bastard.
What?
How dare you look at me!
I must kill your whole family!
Haha, decisive and ruthless in killing!
After walking in the city for a while, all kinds of bloody and inhumane scenes filled everyone's eyes.
Dahl led them to a twisted house and said proudly, "Come on, buddy. This is where you and your little brothers will live from now on. You've never seen such a nice house anywhere else, have you? This was built by a master who studied ancient architectural knowledge."
It can be seen that Dahl is really proud and envious to the point that he wishes he could live there himself.
But Lu Wenwu, with a troubled look on his face, couldn't understand how this dilapidated building in front of him could be considered "good".
If a construction team on Blue Planet could build something like this and pass the review, an entire reinforced platoon of civil engineers would be shot to death from top to bottom.
To be honest, he would rather live in the big hide tent of the Dragon Tribe than in the wooden houses in other cities.
"By the way, brothers, what do you usually eat? Pure meat or exotic beast meat? I'll ask the logistics department to deliver it to you later. We have plenty of this stuff in our sect. Eat as much as you want." Dal asked before leaving.
"Exotic beast meat will do, thank you."
Unexpectedly, Dal actually cared about his and others' meals. Lu Wenwu immediately felt that this outgoing guy was pleasing to the eye.
