[Fierce creature: Tardigrade (incompletely activated state)
Current status: ontological ideology.
Current Ability: Ignoring a series of disasters brought about by high temperature, low temperature, radiation, dehydration, hunger, vacuum, etc., and absorbing energy to survive.
Even if Wu Xiangwang did not fully activate the complete state of the water bear, it was still a very difficult thing to activate such a ferocious insect in the sea of consciousness that could ignore the energy attacks of the Chain of Fate and continuously consume the Chain of Fate.
This took up most of Wu Xiangwang's time.
After confirming that his ideology, the water bear Meng, could indeed use ideology to help him attack and gnaw at the black and white chains of fate in his sea of consciousness, Wu Xiangwang finally didn't have to fight the black and white chains all night and could sleep peacefully for the next few hours.
Wu Xiangwang slept until eight o'clock the next morning, and when he opened his eyes, he was still somewhat conscious.
He subconsciously wanted to sit up from the bed and wash up, but he came to his senses as soon as he moved his body, and continued to lie flat on the bed to sense the situation of the golden photo in his sea of consciousness.
He wanted to see if the black and white chains of fate that restricted his abilities had been gnawed by the tardigrades.
The result made Wu Xiangwang a little disappointed. He carefully observed the black and white chain in his sea of consciousness and did not see any obvious small gaps. It can be seen that the attack power of the fierce brothers transformed by energy consciousness is a little weak.
But Wu Xiangwang was not discouraged. After all, his fierce brothers were not fully activated, and it was very difficult to activate them.
After a night's rest, his body regained some strength. He gathered this strength and sent it to the ferocious insect lying on the black and white chains.
The conscious insect that was difficult to see closely seemed to grow a little bit bigger because of the energy.
Wu Xiangwang nodded. That was all that was needed. As long as he could use his recovered energy daily to grow the tardigrades, he believed that within a few days the chains that bound him in his sea of consciousness would begin to loosen.
He couldn't be impatient in this city. The more impatient he was, the more likely he would make mistakes or even lose his life.
The most important thing is to maintain a good attitude.
After thinking about all this, Wu Xiangwang finally sat up from the bed and immediately raised his mind to the highest state—
From the moment he sat up, he was no longer in a sleeping state, and of course he no longer had the bonus of fate in this room that "sleeping guarantees immortality."
Wu Xiangwang even guessed that because of the unpleasant exchange he had with the weird snail boss last night, he would most likely be the focus of fate this morning, or even receive a severe beating from fate, so he had to leave this room as quickly as possible and go outside to inquire about the relevant information related to the three major city-connecting missions.
Wu Xiangwang was so fast that he almost shot to the door, ready to open it and go out.
However, the harsh blow of fate is obviously not so easy to avoid——
When he grabbed the door handle and pulled it out, he found that there was something wrong with the door and it couldn't be opened.
Wu Xiangwang's heart sank. He banged on the door several times and shouted outside, "Someone help me kick the door open! This door is broken!"
After he finished shouting, he turned around to observe the situation in the house. He found that the temperature in the house had risen very high at some point, and most importantly, there was a faint pungent smell lingering at the tip of his nose.
And this smell became stronger in just a few seconds.
Wu Xiangwang couldn't help but curse, are they trying to trap him in the house and let him die from carbon monoxide poisoning?
Not necessarily. Maybe soon the small fireplace in the room would directly emit a few sparks, burning the sheets and burning him to death in the room.
At this time, there was no voice of the friends asking questions outside the door, and of course there was no voice of the weird snail boss. Even if the weird snail heard the sound of him opening the door, it would not care.
Wu Xiangwang's gaze fell directly on the glass window on the other side of the bed.
He rolled over onto the bed, wet his clothes with the water in the bedside cup, and at the same time pulled up the quilt and rushed towards the window.
There was no response from the door, most likely because his companions were stopped. He had just touched the door, but it was a solid wooden door made of an unknown, very heavy and hard wood.
Such a door is difficult to destroy and difficult to break open with the physical strength of an ordinary person.
In comparison, windows are much easier to open.
But if he wants to go out, he will definitely encounter various unexpected obstacles.
Sure enough, when Wu Xiangwang rushed to the window pulling the quilt, crackling sparks really flew out of the fireplace that was emitting a pungent smell.
The spark fell on the bed sheet and instantly set the entire double bed on fire.
Wu Xiangwang was really not surprised by this, and he began to bang his body against the window.
Even the window frames are made of solid wood but at least the glass is relatively fragile.
The bed sheet blocked the glass shards, preventing them from flying into his venous artery and directly piercing him to death.
With a little more speed and strength, he would have a chance to leave the room before the fire burned him and the poisonous carbon monoxide gas poisoned him.
Bang bang bang bang!
Wu Xiangwang kept hitting the glass window. The glass window, which should have been easy to break, seemed to have suddenly evolved into tempered glass.
At this time, the house was already filled with smoke, and Wu Xiangwang felt a little dizzy, but he pulled up the wet hem of his short-sleeved shirt, pressed it against his nose, took a deep breath, and then held his breath and continued to hit the glass window.
Bang bang bang bang!
When he hit it for the eighth time, the glass window finally had impact marks like a spider web.
It looked like he only needed a few more hits to break through the glass and escape.
However, fate's cruel blow followed closely behind -
Wu Xiangwang, the quilt he used to wrap himself and hit the glass window was burned by the spreading fire!
The scorching temperature behind Wu Xiangwang reminded him that he was about to be engulfed by the flames and burned to death in this room.
If someone is timid or unstable, they will probably throw away the blanket immediately, but Wu Xiangwang endured the burning flames behind him and remained unmoved. He continued to grit his teeth and slammed hard against the glass window!
Bang!
The glass window shattered, and Wu Xiangwang slowly stepped out, holding a large quilt that was almost burning his hair and was full of glass shards.
Yes, he stepped out slowly. He didn't jump out of the window directly. His speed was slow, his body was steady as an old dog, and his footing was precise.
In fact, his room was on the first floor, so there would be no danger in jumping out of the window. How could someone die from jumping from the first floor?
But Wu Xiangwang still took "stability" to the extreme.
It was icy and snowy outside, and there was a thick layer of snow in the yard. Who knew what invisible sharp weapons were hidden under the white snow?
Anyway, the flames can't burn the snow. Even if he escapes from the danger after leaving the house, the beatings of fate should not catch up with him in a short time.
But the window is still part of this dangerous situation, so he still has to be careful to the end!
Sure enough, Wu Xiangwang's first step on the snow was very steady, but when he took the second step, he felt that the sole of his slippers was easily pierced by something.
He immediately stood on one foot, standing on one leg, and then used the burning quilt that was full of glass shards to sweep away the pile of snow at his feet. He saw the deadly short blade stuck upside down under the snow.
If he stepped on it, he would be crippled at least. He didn't believe that there was only one short blade in the snow.
Wu Xiangwang: “…tsk.”
It seems that the deal was not concluded last night, and fate is very vindictive towards him, a small fry.
It was not until this time that Wu Xiangwang was completely exhausted from the first wave of "fickleness of fate" in the early morning, and he also heard the sound of the door being slammed open from inside the house.
"Why is the fire so big! I woke up this morning and just saw the kettle explode again. Wangwang! Can I ask where you are?! Are you really burned by the fire?!"
Shang Chong said this and wanted to rush into the room, but his arms were grabbed by Liusha and Wu Xingyun at the same time.
At this moment, a solid snowball flew through the window, passed through the raging fire in the house, and hit Shang Chong in the face with incredible precision: "I won't die even if you burn to ashes! Okay, I'm outside the yard, wait for me in the living room!"
Shang Chong grimaced when he was hit by a snowball, but he was happy knowing that no one was hurt.
When Wu Xiangwang walked back into the living room from outside the yard, there were already quite a few people sitting there.
There were about sixty or seventy adventurers, but their faces looked a little ugly.
"Aren't you cold dressed like this? Put on my coat quickly and drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
If a mortal body catches a cold, its reaction speed and physical strength will be several levels weaker.
Wu Xiangwang did not refuse. He put on his coat, curled up on the sofa, drank some hot tea, and felt like he was alive again.
At this time, he looked at the adventurers sitting on other sofas and found that each of them had a tired face and looked like a sick chicken that had been frightened by firecrackers all night.
Apparently, they couldn't even sleep safely at night.
"...Last night, I was in the bathroom when I was suddenly strangled by the neck. At that moment, I thought it was a female ghost in the bathroom who had wrapped her hair around me. But when I was rescued, I found out it was actually a bath towel in the bathroom!"
"You were tangled up in the towel, but at least you weren't seriously injured. Look at my head! I just went to the bathroom last night, and for no apparent reason, I slipped and fell!
If I hadn't reacted quickly and rolled on the ground with my hands, I wouldn't have just had a bud on my head, but also had a bloody head."
Everyone was talking about their experiences last night, as if they were having a collective misery competition.
Everyone cursed their damn fate, and then everyone had to face the life-threatening situation of having breakfast this morning.
"...I think my biggest hobby in life is eating. I never thought there would be a day when I would be too afraid to enter a restaurant."
A fat man with a round face but not a fat body sighed and spoke.
But there is no point in sighing, I still have to continue eating.
Fortunately, everyone had the experience of eating last night, and after a night of being beaten by fate, the adventurers were forced to adapt to this crisis-ridden environment almost overnight.
Although they haven't fully adapted yet, at least no adventurer died during breakfast.
But there are still people who have been burned, almost choked to death by drinking water, and eaten poisonous vegetables. Obviously, everyone needs to be more cautious.
But the fact that no one died can make everyone feel much more at ease.
"So what should we do next? Does anyone have any ideas?" Seeing that no one else spoke, the burly captain took the initiative to ask.
"We can discuss this collectively and then act together."
Obviously, having someone to support you and give you a helping hand in times of crisis is still very important in this city.
"Everyone knows the situation in this city now. Accidents happen all the time, or you could say it's a test of fate.
I think the easiest quest is the Hero Quest. I'm a Level 2 Psychic Adventurer, fresh from Carnival City. So, I only need to stay in the Star Zone for ten days to complete the quest."
"According to the mission division, the star zone should be a relatively low-risk area. I just need to find a hotel there and stay there, and completely familiarize myself with the hotel environment and the environment of my own house. As long as I honestly go back and forth between the room and the restaurant, it may be a little dangerous at first, but the longer I stay, the more familiar I will be with unexpected routines. Staying there for ten days should be relatively easy."
Wu Xiangwang raised his eyebrows and glanced at the girl wearing glasses who was speaking. She was probably another powerful analyst like Wang Xiao.
Although she is a newcomer, Wu Xiangwang believes that her judgment is quite accurate. It is indeed the safest for low-level adventurers to undertake brave missions.
Because even if accidents happen all the time, if you only stay in a fixed and familiar environment, the kinds of accidents that fate can create for you will be very limited.
Many people nodded in agreement after the girl with glasses finished speaking, and some people have already decided to act together with her.
"Low-level adventurers have a way to complete quests, but what about us mid-level and high-level adventurers? I just reached level 4. If I had known that the higher the level in the City of Destiny, the more dangerous it would be, I would have suppressed my strength and passed the City of Destiny before leveling up."
"Misfortune is inevitable. How can you predict fate?" The beautiful woman with long, wavy hair sneered, crossing her legs. "Stop talking nonsense and complaining. Let's get to the point."
"I think mid-level adventurers can take a look at merchant quests. Although helping to watch a shop sounds dangerous and will cause more accidents with the comings and goings of people or strange people, merchant quests only require us to help watch the shop and do not limit the number of people who help watch the shop or the types of goods in the shop."
"We can choose a store that's relatively safe from accidents and help guard it. Five days like that will complete the task. Of course, we need to scout the commercial streets beforehand. If every store seems too large and dangerous, we can do mid-level adventurer quests."
Many mid-level adventurers nodded in agreement at this statement.
Only low-level adventurers blindly seek safety, while mid-level adventurers can look at both sides and choose the most suitable one.
"Then let's go find out about the three districts, 'Star, Moon, and Yaoyang,' and their differences based on their level divisions, and then go check out the commercial street."
The tough captain concluded at this point: "But there are bound to be accidents along the way. Everyone should be careful and help each other out. I hope we can still have dinner together tonight!"
Everyone was feeling anxious, yet also possessed a stubborn refusal to resign themselves to fate. Who wants their fate controlled? Not even by fate itself!
Everyone stood up from the sofa, but they soon discovered that there were ten people sitting on the sofa without moving.
Among these people who didn't move, there are eight who are all from the same team.
Dozens of people stood up: "..."
So, are all the big guys on this team high-level adventurers?! Their power levels are all over level seven?!
Don’t forget your team: “…”
Wu Xiangwang kicked Shang Chong and said, "You haven't reached level seven yet, have you?"
If you are not level seven, you cannot be considered a high-level psychic.
Shang Chong wanted to explode on the spot: "I am at the peak of level six! I will soon break through to level seven! Rounding up, I am a high-level adventurer! Don't demote me at will!"
Wu Xingyun was also packing mushrooms nearby.
He is also at the peak of level six, but he also has to act with Brother Wangwang so that he can feel at ease.
Qianbao: “.”
Fortunately, I was already a level six psychic before joining, and now I am at the peak of level six.
The adventurers looked at Shang Chong with admiration.
They have seen many people who pretend to be cool.
I never thought that in this weird world, I could still see a king who was willing to risk his life to show off.
"Well, good luck to you all, bosses?"
Wu Xiangwang waved his hands at them and said, "It's okay. Actually, I'd rather do the beauty mission."
"After all, both high-level hero quests and high-level merchant quests are too time-consuming, but beauty quests only require a stroll around the treasure house. No matter how you look at it, beauty quests are simpler.
The most important thing is…”
Everyone pricked up their ears: "What?"
Wu Xiangwang smiled with great anticipation: "The beauty mission is the only mission that comes with extra rewards. You can take away a treasure from the treasure house!"
"Isn't this several times better than the Hero's quest that gives nothing, or the Merchant's quest that only gives a few gold coins?!"
Wu Xiangwang's eyes and mouth curled downwards as he spoke. "I don't know what's going on. When I first started doing the city clearance mission, the three major missions all had quite a bit of rewards. Later, the rewards for the three major missions became less and less, and now there are no rewards at all, only clearance marks."
The immortal man couldn't help but sigh and say in disgust: "How can this be! We worked so hard to get through the city, and we had to fight hard almost every moment. Shouldn't we be paid more? How can we let people work for free?"
He really hates working for nothing!
"We're the last ones to return to Earth, so we should at least bring back some local specialties or precious treasures from this world as souvenirs, right?"
"I really didn't get anything good before... I finally got a chance to enter the treasure house, so I have to seize this opportunity!"
Wu Xiangwang's words were so sincere and expectant that his teammates' mouths twitched when they heard them.
You touch your shell, studded with over a dozen high-level energy gems and a pile of energy coins, and tell me! Didn't you get anything good? Those weirdos you've ripped off and bankrupted are probably about to burst into tears again.
The other adventurers were in mixed feelings. Is this the boss's style?
While they were still figuring out how to survive, the boss had already started stockpiling souvenirs for their return to Earth?!
Wangwang Boss hadn't finished his words yet: "Actually, I think everyone can try the Beauty Quest. The description of this quest is very general. You just need to go to the treasure house and it will be fine. If you don't go deep into the treasure house, you can just pick up a treasure near the door and take it away. It should actually be relatively simple."
After hearing what he said, everyone realized that there seemed to be some loopholes in this mission.
Moreover, choosing the beauty mission can also get treasures in the treasure house, which is really exciting.
But... that's a treasure trove. A place where treasures are stored must be extremely dangerous, right?
Everyone was struggling with their thoughts when the weird snail boss who had been listening to them started laughing.
"How... audacious."
"Don't you stupid humans know that if you want something, you have to pay the same price, or even more?"
"The treasures in the treasury are all gifts from fate! And how can you know that fate won't mark a price for its gifts on you?"
"Anyway, no adventurer who has entered the treasure vault has been able to successfully take away any treasure."
"Not even one of those who made a deal with me and were protected by fate!"
The weird snail boss's tentacles rose and fell, and his big eyes stared at Wu Xiangwang with a sinister look.
As if shouting from a distance——
Boy, aren’t you afraid now?
That is a forbidden zone where there is a 100% chance of survival!
Just when the snail thought this human was going to show some fear and retreat, he saw this person's eyes suddenly light up:
"Really, boss? So far, no human has ever been able to walk out of the treasure vault alive?"
The snail boss snorted coldly: "Of course, I never lie!"
Wu Xiangwang laughed like a groundhog about to fall into a rice jar: "Doesn't that mean that the treasure house is still full and no one has touched it yet?"
If he could make a big profit in the treasure house, his portable super-large villa would be secure, and he would have a secure place to live for the rest of his life, whether in this world or on Earth!
Then, Wu Xingyun keenly noticed that his brother Wangwang started rubbing his hands.
"Don't worry, boss. I will work hard to be the first person to break this fateful taboo!"
You will definitely return with a full load!
Check it out today!
Weird snail: “…………”
No, I feel uneasy when I see your expression!
