Chapter 219 Hunting down the old gods and becoming a new god
Seeing that Fang Ke was about to crush the Earth with a single punch, Little B quickly said, "Calm down, host! At least it increased! 0.2 is still a progress bar, which proves that your prediction was correct!"
Fang Ke sneered, "It seems that if the senior's progress bar hadn't remained unchanged, the system wouldn't have given me this 0.2."
But on her way back, she kept thinking about it and began to feel terrified as she pondered it more deeply.
If Yes is not an indigenous person, then what is he?
A time traveler? A mission taker?
Or is it a high-ranking official in the Time and Space Administration?
Otherwise, how could he possess those rule-based skills? (Although it's not yet certain that it's Yes, the probability is quite high.)
Or perhaps...
Then he could think of the third possibility mentioned by Little B, namely the galactic god.
She questioned this, not because she found it unbelievable, but because she felt it was incongruous.
If Yes is the supreme god, how could he just stand by and watch the world deviate from its course under his control?
Fang Ke is more inclined to believe that the main god of W707 must have encountered some trouble, similar to the state of a master seriously injured in a martial arts novel. It was only after she switched back to the timeline several times that the main god hiding behind the scenes recovered some of his internal energy and was able to do some things. Therefore, he is now giving her more support.
Thinking in this direction seemed to be correct, but Fang Ke discovered something even more incongruous.
"Little B, is it possible for mission takers to have an affinity bar?"
Little B also fell silent. "As far as I know, it's impossible. Logically speaking, he's no longer an indigenous person, so his favorability rating is impossible to calculate."
Fang Ke responded with an "Mmm".
It's like in a game, where you pursue a character, do certain tasks, and give gifts—all of these are pre-programmed, with a stable operating logic and a measurable numerical space.
But in reality, if you flirt with someone, even if they seem to like you, it might be an act. Sometimes, even a person doesn't know how much they like you, so how can you calculate it with precise numbers?
If Yes is a "living person", how could the system calculate his favorability rating?
Thinking of this, Fang Ke almost stepped on the gas and slammed on the brakes on the side of the road.
Was Yes's relationship with her just an act?
If Yes is a mission taker, what is the mission? Is she the target of his/her pursuit?
Why did Yes deliberately reveal his identity in order to advance the mission?
Are Yes and her on the same side?
These questions collided fiercely in her mind, and she found herself becoming increasingly gloomy with each thought. Even Little B couldn't help but hug herself and tremble. "Host, host, it can't be that bad, can it? Yes's feelings for you don't seem fake."
Fang Ke pursed her lips, when suddenly she felt a headlight flash past as a car sped towards her from the opposite direction. Her pupils contracted, and she jerked the steering wheel, swerving the car straight out of the lane.
"careful--!"
"Holy crap, does his grandpa even know how to drive?! He's deliberately trying to run you over!"
Little B was unusually angry.
Fang Ke looked up from the steering wheel and saw the truck speeding down the mountain without stopping, honking its horn, or apologizing, as if it had no idea her car was in the same lane.
Fortunately, this was a road leading uphill, with dirt roads alongside the paved road, and further in, there was snow and forest. So Fang Ke had a close call; he had just stopped on the dirt road, and if he had gone any faster, he would have crashed into a tree.
Fang Ke's face darkened. Even if she was thinking while driving, she would never miss the passing vehicles.
But for a period of time just now, there were no cars at all on this road in her field of vision.
When did this huge truck that suddenly appeared out of nowhere come into existence?
Suddenly, she felt a cool sensation in her right hand. She was slightly startled and looked up.
Under the moonlight, the obsidian bracelet emitted a faint white fluorescence for the first time.
"It failed."
In a corner of the theater, Su Yao disappeared into the night. The cards in her hand turned into a pile of fluorescent fragments as she spoke, and quickly vanished into the darkness.
The cards in Su Yao's hand were system rewards she received after clearing the level; they could be considered offensive artifacts, and there were five of them in total.
They are: [Concealment], [Mist], [Blockade], [Phantom], and [Darkness].
176 had said that this type of offensive artifact would be very useful after entering the training ground world, so he told her to keep it safe.
She wasted such an important hand on Fang Ke today and still failed.
"How could it have failed..."
Su Yao's voice was trembling. This was a god-level item, and it had failed just like that!
After a moment of contemplation, 176 calmly analyzed, "These cards only have the greatest effect in the training ground. It's understandable that their abilities would be suppressed in the small world. But who exactly is Fang Ke... how could he be completely unaffected by the items?"
If Fang Ke dies on the spot, the card will be completely stained red.
If you manage to escape unscathed but are injured, the card will be stained with a few red marks.
But the card suddenly turned gray, then shattered into pieces and disappeared.
This means that the cards not only had no effect at all, but were also likely countered by an energy.
Su Yao quickly said, "I felt there was something seriously wrong with her! Could it be that she had some kind of protective item that saved her life? I'm so angry! My card was only used once! Fang Ke really does know sorcery!"
But if that's the case, all the speculations will have to be overturned and we'll have to start all over again.
Could Fang Ke really be a mission taker?
Otherwise, how do you explain her ability to fight against system items?
It's absolutely impossible for ordinary indigenous people to do that...
But why didn't he find anything unusual about her?
Every mission taker has a marker after their soul enters the mission body; this marker is an important basis for identifying mission takers.
However, Fang Ke did not have this mark. Her soul and her body at this time should have been symbiotic since childhood and had not been replaced.
"This method is indeed very strange."
Even if he couldn't understand it, 176 was still filled with murderous intent.
As he spoke, his voice turned cold and deep. "It's probably that old codger who disappeared who's behind this. It's a pity we didn't kill him immediately and seize his godhood. He's probably just hanging on somewhere in W707, waiting to retaliate... How laughable. Does he really think an ordinary person can defeat us? Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, he's overestimating himself."
This was the first time Su Yao had heard him mention it, so she couldn't help but ask, "Who is it?"
The campaign has progressed smoothly to this point, and there is nothing left to keep secret.
176 had already told her part of it. His voice was still magnificent, filled with absolute support for hegemony, and he said arrogantly.
“Our god is the greatest god in the entire universe. Long ago, he held a ‘God Hunting Game’ and sent out the first batch of veteran warriors from the entire alliance. All of these people who survived have hunted down the old gods, become new gods, and dominate their respective regions. I am already a warrior from the third generation to participate… My goal is naturally the same as these veterans.”
Su Yao exclaimed in shock, "176... no, Otrus, you actually had such a background!"
176 couldn't help but reveal a little bit of pride, "I didn't tell you at first because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to handle it, but you did a great job with W707, so I was planning to take you to the training ground with me."
Su Yao's breath hitched.
176's voice gradually became seductive, "Su Yao, as long as you can win the competition in the training ground, you can completely get rid of the soul and body of an ordinary person, and you will be only one step away from becoming a god. From then on, you will have endless power and time, and you can do whatever you want. Everyone will grovel at your feet... This is the pinnacle of power."
