"I was furious. How dare someone call themselves a 'God of War'?"
"But after reading the other person's reply, I fell into deep thought. I have to admit that his words, or rather, his guidance in a certain sense, gave me a lot of inspiration..."
The post was long, but the mental journey of "one punch weighing 80,000 jin" was strangely similar to hers.
After reading "Martial God's" reply, the other party also went through the other party's history and became more and more shocked.
At the end of the post, the other party directly asked who the "God of War" was and stated that they wanted to have a more in-depth conversation with him.
What truly captured women's attention were the replies below.
Several floors were filled with the original posters of the old posts that had been replied to by "Martial God," and they were all speculating about who "Martial God" really was.
After waiting for a while and not seeing the main character, the "God of War," appear, the woman shook her head and left the Hall of Hundred Kings with some disappointment.
But deep down, the same question remained.
"God of War?" the woman murmured to herself, "Even kings and nobles dare not call themselves God of War, so who exactly are you, and where does your confidence come from..."
...
Night falls, and the stars fill the sky.
He shuddered and suddenly woke up.
His consciousness wavered for a mere 0.01 seconds before he remembered what had happened before he hung up. He sat up warily and looked around.
Silence reigned all around, and a faint smell of blood wafted into Shen Qian's nose and mouth, making him feel nauseous.
Where am I? What have I done? Am I even dressed?
Three questions swirled in his mind. He stood up and, by the dim light that seemed to come from nowhere, he roughly knew where he was.
Abandoned landfill!
In the distance, the faint outline of city walls appeared. Turning around, one saw howling sand and desolation. Lightning flashed across the sky, making the already dark clouds appear even more terrifying.
This is clearly the edge of a restricted area.
I had been to a similar landfill once before, when I was in the top class of No. 7 Middle School.
But this is clearly a different place, because judging from the distribution of the city walls, it is outside the south of the city, while the garbage dump we visited last time was in the west of the city.
Shen Qian rubbed his temples; his head was a little sore.
If I remember correctly, his original intention for AFK was to study martial arts. How did he end up teleporting outside the city?
Suddenly, Shen Qian caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, and his pupils immediately contracted.
Not far from his feet, beneath a pile of bricks and tiles, the outline of a corpse came into view.
The reason it was identified as a corpse was because there was still a large pool of blood flowing silently, and the source was that corpse.
Shen Qian walked over, turned on the flashlight on his bracelet, and after clearing away the rubble, the features of a man with a ferocious face and unseeing eyes were revealed.
Terrifying purplish-brown markings corroded half of his face...
A scavenger?
Seeing scavengers again now doesn't surprise Shen Qian much; he's just a little puzzled.
Because he remembered the last time he met Song Ye, the other party had confidently assured him that they would soon join forces with the Southwest Army to sweep through the restricted area and ensure that scavengers would disappear within a ten-kilometer radius of Jingcheng.
Now… Shen Qian estimated the distance to the city wall, and it was at most eight hundred meters.
That's a bit outrageous.
After confirming that he was not seriously injured, Shen Qian was about to return to the city to check his AFK logs when he stopped after taking only two steps.
Because he saw a second body.
Sensing something was wrong, Chen turned up the brightness of his flashlight and began to carefully examine his surroundings.
One, two, three, four... twenty-nine.
These weren't the footsteps of someone sinking forward, but rather the number of corpses he found within his field of vision.
Twenty-nine corpses of scavengers!
Chen Qian took a deep breath. He wasn't sure if there were others like this elsewhere, but he first compared the causes of death of these scavengers.
Finally, Chen Qian summarized the following three characteristics.
First, all the wounds were caused by sharp blades.
Strangely, no decent murder weapon was found at the scene, nor in his storage ring.
Secondly, their deaths were all exceptionally cruel.
Every scavenger was stabbed at least ten times, assuming the blade was a knife.
The other wounds were in different locations and varied in depth, but the final fatal wound was always to the throat.
Third, judging from the distribution of blood, this was almost a one-sided massacre.
Since none of the scavengers left much of a trace, they were either determined to fight to the death or had no chance to escape.
With a furrowed brow, Shen Qian now had only one question... Did I do this?
Judging from the fact that he was the only living person at the scene, he already had the answer in his heart, but he still needed to know the process.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Shen Qian didn't wait to return to the city. He contacted Dao Jiu first and confirmed that Dao Jiu was loitering and waiting near the South Gate. Shen Qian became even more certain that this was the work of the system.
So while he was calling Dao Jiu over, he sat cross-legged on the ground, focused his consciousness on the auto-play interface, and directly opened the brand-new folder that was flashing with light.
"Note: This AFK session has generated combat experience and training memories. The host can retrieve the relevant content after viewing the text record."
This note confirmed that the system hadn't deviated from its course and had indeed gone to comprehend martial arts techniques.
