Chapter 165 Mission Progress
Potato saw Yan Chu frowning, his eyes rolling around, and continued:
Don't worry, Master! No matter what the world consciousness thinks, as long as you can defeat the Zombie King and successfully save the world, you will definitely return to reality with generous rewards!
Yan Chu lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes cast a light shadow under his eyes.
"Once I complete my mission, I will leave this world, right?"
Potato nodded.
[Yes, isn't this what the master and I agreed upon? ]
Yes, that was indeed Yan Chu’s original plan.
In this world, have a sweet love affair with Gu Qinyuan, find a way to complete the task, and then Gu Qinyuan won't die.
This way she can return to the real world without any burden.
But this idea seems to have changed.
She seemed reluctant to leave.
Potato looked at Yan Chu's expression and scratched his round head in confusion.
【Master, what’s wrong with you? 】
"Will this body die after I leave?" Yan Chu asked.
Potato quickly shook his head:
[No, after the master leaves, the world consciousness will correct this bug and generate an NPC personality that matches the character's personality to replace him.]
A personality that fits the character's personality? Wouldn't it be the original vicious female supporting personality?
In other words, if she successfully uses the resurrection card to keep Gu Qinyuan alive, completes the mission and leaves, this body will become an empty shell controlled by the world consciousness?
This was too cruel for Gu Qinyuan.
Yan Chu raised his eyes and looked at it: "If I do nothing, can I stay in this world forever?"
Potato was stunned and rubbed his hands bitterly.
[Master, if you don't complete the mission before the ending, it will be considered a mission failure... You will die, and the world will restart and re-select the protagonist until the mission is completed.]
And this means it will continue to work for the next owner.
Although, it really doesn't want to work for the eighth time!
When will this crappy job end?
After listening to Tu Dou's words, Yan Chu completely understood.
If the mission succeeds, she can at least survive, but if the mission fails, she will die.
No matter what choice she makes, she is destined not to stay in this world for long.
After all, she didn't belong here.
She exhaled lightly, looked out the window at the stormy sky and said softly:
"Got it, Potato."
"I will try my best."
Even if they all have BE endings, she would choose the slightly better BE.
Potato stared at Yan Chu's silent profile, then shifted his gaze slightly to the work panel that only he could see. The task list was clearly displayed:
[Progress in killing the Zombie King (0%)]
[Save the World Progress (76.13%)]
The bright red "0%" formed a stark contrast with the nearly completed "76.13%." Potato reached out his short hand and clicked on the detailed progress bar for "Save the World." A long string of cold, precise data cascaded down:
[Successfully killed 3 level 3 evolved zombies]
[Successfully killed 79 Level 2 Evolved Zombies]
[Successfully killed 658 first-level evolved zombies]
[Successfully killed ordinary zombies: 2,526,307]
Even if it was to save the world, Yan Chu didn't need to instantly restore the world to its pre-apocalyptic prosperity.
All she needs to do is pull the lever that determines fate and eliminate the biggest weight that makes the scales tilt towards human destruction, that is, the Zombie King, so that the development of the world will lead to human victory.
This "degree" is defined by the General Administration, and there is a quantifiable list to determine whether the task is completed.
Compared with He Fan, Yan Chu's task progress is undoubtedly the fastest.
But Potato stared at the progress of 76.13%, and inexplicably felt that it looked more and more familiar, and always felt that something was wrong.
It scratched its head in confusion and simply dug out all the previous information to check one by one. Finally, it saw the sentence in the evaluation document that the General Administration had first sent it:
[After evaluation, "Yan Chu" has a success rate of 76.13% in saving the world, ranking first in the character rankings.]
Potato's hand trembled.
Is this... a coincidence?
It started to rain heavily after a long absence. The dark clouds covered the earth with a loud sound of rain.
The door behind him opened with a click, and Gu Qinyuan walked in with an umbrella in his hand.
Shen Ya followed behind him and peeked in quietly.
When he saw Yan Chu, Shen Ya smiled and raised his hand to greet her: "Hello, sister-in-law."
Gu Qinyuan glanced at the surveillance screen and said, "Let's go. I'll take you back. Shen Ya can continue to watch over here."
Yan Chu blinked. Since Gu Qinyuan was willing to let Shen Ya keep an eye on things, it meant that he trusted Shen Ya.
"Okay, let's go."
The two walked side by side through the narrow corridor between the buildings, rain rushing down the rusty gutter, splashing tiny drops of water at their feet.
When passing the central square, Yan Chu paused.
She saw many people standing motionless in the rain in the central square of the base.
"What are those people doing?" Yan Chu was puzzled.
"News about the Central Base's experiments with potential users has spread," Gu Qinyuan's voice was cold and clear, blending in with the sound of rain. "Everyone has heard that only by getting caught in the rain can one awaken their special abilities. We've waited so long for a downpour, so we naturally have to seize the opportunity."
Yan Chu: “…”
Yan Chu: "Didn't anyone tell them that the probability of mutating into a zombie is much higher than awakening superpowers?"
Gu Qinyuan chuckled softly: "Isn't that what humans are like? They always like to gamble on that little bit of luck, thinking they won't be the losers."
……Too.
Yan Chu withdrew her gaze and was about to leave when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure running towards her through the hazy rain curtain.
She squinted her eyes and took a closer look. Who else could have that conspicuous silver hair but Ji Liang?
"Commander Yan!"
Ji Liang ran up to her breathlessly, wiping the rain off his face awkwardly: "I, I have something urgent to talk to you about!"
"Don't be impatient, tell me slowly," Yan Chu looked at him, "What's the matter?"
Ji Liang gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "Do you remember what I said before... I saw zombies devouring the crystal cores of their own kind with my own eyes, so I had the idea to do some research?"
Yan Chu nodded, of course she remembered.
She was also confused about this because both Gu Qinyuan and other level 2 and 3 zombies insisted that it was impossible for a zombie to do that unless the zombie was crazy.
"That He Fan, I saw him," Ji Liang took a deep breath, his eyes filled with uncontrollable fear. "The zombie I saw devouring the crystal cores of its own kind... was him!"
Yan Chu's eyes suddenly became stern.
She originally speculated that He Fan might be like Yuan Lin, who swallowed a human crystal core when he was still a human, which led to his current strange state that was neither human nor zombie.
But Ji Liang's words completely overturned this speculation.
