Along with the gods, the Bird Island instance also disappeared.
Xia Chuhe picked up the book that the god had dropped, tossed it into the farm, and casually picked an apple from the apple tree, handing it to the little monkey: "Good monkey!"
The apple was unripe, and the little monkey took a big bite. It was so sour that he grimaced, but he couldn't bear to throw it away.
Xia Chuhe shook his head, thinking to himself, "When the apples on the tree are ripe, I'll give them all to you."
"Thank you all for your help. If it weren't for you, I probably would have died in the dungeon." Xia Chuhe relaxed his shoulders and transferred the points three times the price of the mercenaries.
Du Zhen recalled the question he hadn't answered in the dungeon: "Do you now buy clues first and then go into the dungeon? That's not like you."
Although the two had known each other for almost half a year, they had only run a dungeon together once during that time. Du Zhen's impression of Xia Chuhe was still based on their first meeting in the Ice and Snow World, when Xia Chuhe went on a dangerous quest to find the core of the dungeon.
Looking back now, finding the core of the dungeon had become a basic operation for Xia Chuhe.
Xia Chuhe waved his hand: "The props we got a few days ago can be used to see clues in advance, but they can only be used three times. This is the last time."
Xia Chuhe had seen people buy clues on the official forum before. They were all reports and deductions from people who had run the dungeons, and their accuracy was incomparable to the clues provided by the dungeon locator.
Du Zhen nodded: "I see. Remember to call me if you have any more missions. Ah Bao and I are heading back now."
Xia Chuhe asked, half tentatively and half seriously, "Would you accept any dungeons outside the base's boundaries?"
Du Zhen was taken aback: "You're going that far?"
Xia Chuhe did not answer.
Du Zhen said, "If we can get there, we will."
03 didn't intend to stay any longer and left quickly.
Diao Jie was still at Xia Chuhe's farm, and Xin Diao followed Xia Chuhe closely.
During her time in the instance, Xia Chuhe received two important messages from Wang Yan. One was that Wang Yan had already purchased some supplies and was waiting for Xia Chuhe to return and check them. The other was that "Xia Qingxue" and "Lu Xingyi" had bought a house near the small courtyard that Xia Chuhe had purchased.
The Bird Island instance was a godsend.
The core of the dungeon that the little monkey stole was a book called the "Searching for Gods Technique." Using this book, one can extract all of a person's memories, but the book can only be used three times. Another characteristic of the Searching for Gods Technique is that the person whose memories have been extracted will become a memory-deprived fool.
Before entering the Bird Island instance, Xia Chuhe had been worried about one thing.
She was certain that "Xia Qingxue" and "Lu Xingyi" were fake, at least their memories and cores were fake, but she couldn't be sure if their physical bodies were fake. If she destroyed these two bodies, would her parents never come back?
Now, the appearance of the Search for Gods technique has dispelled Xia Chuhe's worries.
Following the address given by Wang Yan, Xia Chuhe went directly to the house that "Xia Qingxue" and "Lu Xingyi" had bought.
Lu Xingyi was about to put on a show of filial piety with Xia Chuhe, showing concern and care, when Xia Chuhe had already tied him up. Xia Qingxue naturally received the same treatment.
Xia Chuhe didn't give him a chance to argue and hardened his heart to use the Searching God Technique.
This time, she saw a more complete process of creating "Xia Qingxue" and "Lu Xingyi".
The owner of these memories, before the age of sixteen, was just an ordinary, unevolved underground resident. All he learned was how to grow mushrooms, raise devil worms, and clean up garbage…
One day, the guards came to his house and said to his parents, "Your son has been selected by the higher-ups to participate in a project. From now on, he will be one of the upper class. As a reward for raising your son, you will also receive a generous reward."
His parents happily accepted the points.
For the first time in his life, he stood before a massive black elevator, heading towards the unreachable upper level.
The road upward is so long, it seems to have no end.
After what seemed like an eternity, the elevator doors finally opened. The upper level was beautiful, shrouded in a misty, almost fantastical blue hue. Unlike the underground, where all you could see when you looked up was monotonous lighting and endless darkness.
The guards put him in a large vehicle and left. Inside the vehicle were many boys about his age, who were sizing each other up.
He suddenly felt a little scared. These boys were similar to him in height and build, and even their appearances were somewhat similar.
More and more boys filled the bus, whispering and discussing amongst themselves. A voice from the roof shouted, "Quiet!" and no one dared to speak again. School and teachers always taught them to be obedient, so they were all very well-behaved.
Those who disobeyed were quickly taken off the bus.
After the bus was full, a very elegantly dressed man got on. He talked a lot, saying that life up there was very happy, and as long as they were obedient, they would have endless food and beautiful clothes.
The man wasn't lying, or at least not completely lying.
For the first time, he ate food other than the nutritional supplement; it was a sweet potato. Unlike the dryness and monotony of the supplement, the sweet potato had an intoxicatingly sweet aroma. It was so soft and so hot that it melted in his mouth and then slid effortlessly into his stomach.
Throughout his life, although he ate many kinds of food, some of which tasted far better than sweet potatoes, his favorite was always the big, grayish roasted sweet potato.
The man's lie is that he doesn't have an endless supply of food.
The project leader strictly required them to maintain a certain physique and muscle mass; if they gained weight, their food intake was reduced, and if they lost weight, it was increased. Although many people helped them control their weight, some had metabolisms different from most; they gained weight even from drinking water, or they could eat as much as they wanted without gaining weight. These people were taken away by the project leader and never appeared again.
Those who remained quickly participated in a major operation.
He fell into a deep sleep, then awoke. Upon waking, his eyes seemed larger, his lips thinner, and a small mole appeared on his waist…
After repeated operations, he almost completely transformed into a different person.
During the intervals between being manipulated, he no longer learned how to raise devil worms or similar knowledge, but instead learned to identify, cultivate, and raise plants and animals, and to learn about various superpowers.
He was happy to learn these things, and he wondered if he could stay in the upper class, perhaps as a farmer who managed a farm for the upper class.
However, the project manager quickly shattered his illusions.
The project leader brought a document containing a man's life story from birth to age seventeen. His task was to remember it all and become that man.
He accepted it, and many others accepted it.
Either become someone else, or disappear forever.
