Chapter 28 Meeting
The entire conference room's system stared at the screen with its mouth open in confusion. The core code beeped and froze for two seconds, nearly turning it into garbled text.
The main system just listed a long list of meeting rules, which was useless.
The silence of the scene reached its peak at this moment.
Is this Rank 1?!
I just passed out yesterday, and I still had time to go to that club and have sex with three people in one go?!
Besides, he's such a jerk. He didn't even give her a name, and just sent her love number cards with numbers one, two, and three. What if they get mixed up?!
The system's dialog box not only includes the host, but also the main god, NPC, other systems, and forum message prompts.
Chu Qingkong: “…”
It's over.
He was caught in a dilemma.
Although this scene seems a bit inappropriate, but if I rashly say that you are overthinking it and these are actually his three hosts... it would be very strange, right? QAQ!
No way! Be brave for once and take the blame!
He closed the system panel with a trembling voice. After a slight pause, he struggled to admit it, as if using up all his strength, "...You saw it too? Yes, that's right, that's it."
Other systems: "..."
Main system: “…”
This statement! It really sounds like a scumbag! !
…
The experience the day before was somewhat disappointing.
But Chu Qingkong has always been a person who can adjust his mood quickly. When he went to work the next day, as a qualified worker, he had completely forgotten about this embarrassing situation.
Also thrown away was the strategy game "How to Fall in Love with Your Boss".
——"Starting today, I will become cruel and cold-blooded. This is what the workers are thinking at this moment."
[Ding, the infinite flow world has arrived. 】
The space jump tunnel ruthlessly threw the cold-blooded worker out.
Chu Qingkong: “…”
Infinite flow world.
Before players enter the dungeon, the world rules provide the option of choosing the difficulty of the dungeon in a very humane way.
Most players prioritize survival, and they all have the same idea, always choosing low-difficulty dungeons to prevent themselves from being eliminated by the rules due to mission failure.
The rules of the world cater to players' needs. As dungeons become more difficult, they become increasingly rare. E-level dungeons are everywhere, ensuring that most people don't have to fight for them and can rest easy. Meanwhile, A+ and S+ level dungeons only appear once every ten days or half a month.
Only Shi Weizhi and his team were able to take the most difficult dungeons every time.
Because you need to earn points for beginners, the more difficult the game is, the more points you will get.
Today is the day when the new S+ copy is refreshed.
Shi Weizhi was selecting a new world in front of the panel. He was wearing a slim-fitting black windbreaker, his left hand tucked into his pocket, his right hand casually swiping across the screen, his expression impassive.
"Host, host—! Here I come, guess what good stuff I brought you this time!!"
Chu Qingkong happily landed in the system space, looked around the system work panel, and found the reward for the last task after a while.
After each long-term mission, he would apply for new rewards from the main system for his host, determined to get all the benefits from the main system.
It’s the same this time!
Before Shi Weizhi could greet him, he saw a purple book as thick as a dictionary, its cover bound with cross chains, falling from the sky, aiming for his face.
He stepped back, reached out his hand, and quickly copied the book.
The aftereffect made my wrist numb.
"What is this?" He picked up the book, his eyes fell on the ancient cowhide cover, and gently untied the chain on the book cover.
"New reward, an item from the Western Fantasy Plane, the 'Book of Prophecy'!"
Chu Qingkong said happily, "Do you know, host? This book is a sacred forbidden book of black magic in the Western fantasy world. After I apply for it, it will be like a prop that can reveal the clues of the infinite dungeon in advance. If used well, it can avoid many death options..."
Shi Weizhi put away the thick book, somewhat surprised that it was the same color as his eyes. "A purple book?" He curled his eyes and began to praise the system: "It's a very useful prop. Thank you, Chuchu."
"Ding, you're welcome!" Chu Qingkong muttered, "I like purple too. That's why I applied for this sheep... ah no, it's a special reward. Host, host, do you think this color doesn't look good?"
"...No." Shi Weizhi had no way of refusing to answer his question, "It's just that I don't really like prophecies."
Chu Qingkong was busy taking notes in the system space, deciding to be nice to his milk tea supplier: "Okay! Small problem! I'll change it for you next time!"
The host's purple eyes were once considered an ominous sign by the empire.
This book is also considered a banned book in the Western fantasy world because it has some ability to predict the future.
I see! So the host doesn't like cheat codes related to prophecy!
So...what does the host like?
Chu Qingkong asked directly: "What kind of reward do you want? I will try my best to get it next time!"
Shi Weizhi smiled and replied softly: "It's enough that you are always by my side."
Chu Qingkong: “…”
He froze for two seconds, thinking what a wicked boss! 996 is already hard enough, and he doesn't even give him time off!
Change the reward, this one won’t work.
He opened Shi Weizhi's background information, sat upright, and read it from the beginning. His eyes fell on a certain line of words, and an idea flashed in his mind.
I think I know!
It’s a bit complicated, but it doesn’t matter, I’ll arrange it after this copy is finished!
[S+ copy has appeared. ]
A new prompt popped up on the copy selection interface in front of Shi Weizhi.
At the "S+" difficulty level, there is only one new copy to choose from in the empty background.
He glanced sideways at his team members, confirmed that they were all there, nodded calmly, and entered a new copy world.
…
The unknown.
The infinite flow rules had a physical form, a mass of black threads. The dense threads were swirling and surging, laughing wildly.
Hahahahahahaha, this guy finally sent himself to this copy!
Every time, every time! After the copy ends, it will secretly detect the player's data!
Shi Weizhi ranks second in the team ranking, but is undoubtedly first in the personal ranking.
During the first test, because of his excessive force, he blew up his own testing equipment. A set of equipment cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, and he cried for a long time.
Later, it suffered a loss and learned a little bit of wisdom. Instead of testing the powerful weapon's strength, it tested its emotional value.
Because the emotional value can best reflect a person's mental state, and it can also reflect what kind of copy he is suitable for.
As a result, this test caused the instrument to explode again!
This player's strength was unfathomable, and his mood swings even more unpredictable. Most of the time, he was at E rank, seemingly suffering from a combination of depression and world-weariness. But a few days a week, he'd suddenly soar to S+ rank.
The emotion detection equipment exploded several times due to the extremely large fluctuations.
How do you play this?
How could there be such a person in the world! It's hard not to be concerned about his mental state!
The infinite flow rule doesn't know that the person it's detecting actually has a system of its own. Occasionally, the system flips over his card, and his mood level suddenly spikes, not because he's moody.
It only knew that its own instruments were completely destroyed and countless copies of itself had been violently destroyed, so it cried loudly and cried extremely sadly.
Marked with tears - This is a dangerous player who is extremely emotionally unstable and violent.
Shi Weizhi, it remembered him!
After destroying a bunch of copies in a row, it got angry and posted a warning on the settlement page.
This time it finally gets a chance!
In the next world, it will arrange him to a special, special, and extremely terrifying high-level martial arts plane. The martial arts value of the people there must be one level higher to prevent him from breaking through with violence. At the same time, the risk factor must also be high. It would be best if the world is about to be destroyed, so that it would be even better if it can take him away together!
This is a small secret realm in the world of immortal cultivation that it had found with great difficulty. It singled out the most thrilling and chaotic moment and converted it into an infinite flow copy.
Tremble, players! A player still wants to play by the rules? Quack, quack, quack!
…
Chu Qingkong fell into deep thought, staring quietly at the world introduction of the new copy, always feeling that something was not right.
Seems very familiar?
[Instance Name: The Beginning of Phoenix]
[Instance Summary: The Phoenix, dwelling above the nine heavens, is an ancient divine race. Coming to earth in times of trouble, it offers relief to all. The Phoenix's arrival is celebrated by all gods.
This copy is set in the ancient world of cultivation and is extremely dangerous.
Please do not reveal your identity. If you do, the consequences will be severe and you will be held responsible.
[Main Quest: Explore the background story of the Phoenix Clan (Exploration Degree 0/100).]
[Side Quest: Participate in the Phoenix Clan's special festival.]
Chu Qingkong: “…”
It doesn't seem to be familiar anywhere. It's said to be the world of cultivation and the Phoenix Clan, but the Phoenix Clan in host No. 3 has been wiped out, so it should have nothing to do with this copy.
But is it really unrelated? Are there really such coincidences in the world?!
It looks like it is full of flags! !
"Chuchu," Shi Weizhi noticed his distraction and called him back, "What are you thinking about?"
The Phoenix Clan is the largest clan in the world of cultivation.
As soon as they entered the dungeon, they were in Phoenix City, which was governed by the Phoenix Clan. Their identities were ordinary residents who came from other cities to play.
He quickly figured out the meaning of "cultivation" here.
"Don't worry," Shi Weizhi smiled lightly, but there was not much smile in his eyes. "I know that this is probably a world whose rules are arranged against me, but I also have my sword. The people here may not be able to defeat me."
Chu Qingkong: "...Okay."
But this isn't a question of whether or not you can win.
His host won't meet?!
He remained worried and followed his host into Phoenix City.
The team members scattered.
Shi Weizhi chose to enter a teahouse in a busy neighborhood, ordered a cup of tea casually, and listened to the residents living in the city talking about anecdotes about the Phoenix Clan.
"For thousands of years, our city has been blessed by the Phoenix Clan and has been directly governed by them."
Chu Qingkong continued to be worried.
"The Phoenix Clan is favored by the Heavenly Dao and is naturally very fast in cultivation. Most Phoenixes have reached the Nascent Soul stage or above."
What? Such a high level of cultivation?
"Oh, yes, yes, I heard that the young heir of the Phoenix Clan..."
Ouch! This damn familiar feeling!! So uneasy!!
"...At only six years old, he has already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, hahahahaha."
Chu Qingkong: “…”
Six years old?
He shuddered, and the melancholy he had just felt disappeared without a trace.
I never expected him to be only six! He definitely wasn't Ming Fengque. Of course, even if he was, it wouldn't matter! What could a six-year-old do?!
A mature part-time worker doesn't worry about occasional work pressure. He must be too inwardly savvy to imagine some unpleasant scenario.
"It's almost the Phoenix Clan's once-a-century Fengyi Festival, and there are so many delicious foods on the streets. I just took a look at the snack street I passed by, and the line is almost stretching all the way to the city."
[Trigger the keyword "Fengyi Festival", (Exploration Degree 5/100).]
What kind of festival was Fengyi Festival? The tea drinker just drank tea with a satisfied smile and said nothing further.
Chu Qingkong continued to follow the host to complete the main task of exploring Phoenix City.
Walk out of the teahouse.
Next stop is the snack street.
The snack street in the world of cultivation is full of shops, with rows of shops and small vendors who sell their wares under a big umbrella.
The candied haws are piled up like a small mountain, bright in color and sweet with syrup; the spring rolls are hot from the oven, crispy and salty; the fried chicken is fried and sold on the spot, each piece is deep-fried and sprinkled with cumin...
Shi Weizhi walked forward while being extremely alert.
Having lived through the arduous infinite dungeon worlds for years, he knew the nature of the dungeon world well: the more glamorous the surface, the more sinister and bloody it was underneath.
A snack street like this, opened for a certain "festival," must have a special meaning behind it. According to the more common pattern in the past, people from other cities might have tried the food here and wanted to stay forever...
But the next second he heard the voice of his own system.
"Beep, the system is checking——"
"Food Hazard: 0%."
"Wow! It's edible!!"
Then, he held the hand of a young man.
She had long white hair with a light, bright blue tint at the ends, and her eyes were like stars on the water, bright and clear - they shone especially brightly when she saw the fried chicken.
A shadow was floating on Chu Qingkong's body.
This means that this is the form that only Shi Weizhi can see, and no one in other copies can see him.
His Chuchu generally does not appear in the copy world in human form.
If it appears...it must be hungry.
"...Can I eat it?" Shi Weizhi was a little hesitant.
Chu Qingkong: “Sure!”
Shi Weizhi held his hand and looked at him sideways: "What do you want to eat?"
"Tanghulu, spring rolls, fried chicken, meat mooncakes..."
Chu Qingkong said each one of them again.
After a while, he brought a bunch of food.
Shi Weizhi tried each one himself first to make sure there was no problem before handing it to him.
Because the system itself is composed of code, it does not actually need to eat. It likes to eat, just likes it.
In particular, he also has memory metal and a database, which means that he can record all the food he eats. He only needs to taste it to permanently store its taste.
Just one bite is enough to satisfy you, and you don’t need to eat until you are full.
So he bought a bag of everything, took a bite, and gave the rest back to Shi Weizhi, letting him keep it.
Shi Weizhi's hands were almost full: "..."
A bit heavy.
After walking out of the snack street, Chu Qingkong felt satisfied and continued working.
His host seemed unwilling to waste time and planned to kill his way straight from the city to the Phoenix Clan, and then slowly investigate their background story.
...Except for being a bit too violent, it's not impossible to use it as a way to clear the game.
Of course the system must be supported wholeheartedly!
Chu Qingkong was just about to face an exciting battle when he suddenly heard a new rule issued by the Infinite Flow Rules.
[Rule Update: In this instance, all special abilities of players, including weapons and items, are disabled.]
It is said to be a regulation, but in fact it is a ban.
The emotion in Shi Weizhi's eyes faded. He tried to wake up "Diruchao", but there was nothing to call out, no response.
In such a dangerous dungeon, losing combat effectiveness is almost the same as death.
Chu Qingkong: “?”
He was somewhat dissatisfied.
The system defense mode that was turned off a few days ago had some unfinished code left, which was still affecting his actions.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, dodged and left here for a short while.
…
It's still unknown.
It is said that no one knows, but in fact it is deep underground in the Infinite Flow main world.
A ball of black silk was tangling itself together as it slowly murmured, "Hmm... Although the cultivation levels in this dungeon appear to be quite high, I still feel like something is off... Well, I know!"
It stirred faster: "Hmm, what if Shi Weizhi is really powerful, even more powerful than the phoenix in the world of cultivation, then my copy will be gone again?!"
The consequence of a player having too strong a past record is that even though he has been sent to a high-level martial arts plane, the rules are still worried that he will use force to break through and successfully break the deadlock.
"No, no."
A strand of black silk slowly emerged, swaying up and down.
Let's limit his strength a little more.
"We need to add a layer of restrictions to him! Just write that he can't use his abilities, not even the sword!"
After a while.
New rules issued.
This ball of black silk began to crawl and wriggle darkly.
“Hahahahahahaha!! You fell into my hands, hahahahaha——huh?”
Its sound suddenly stopped.
When he looked up, he found that a white-haired boy had appeared in front of him. He was looking down at him with a cold look in his eyes.
His slender, cold hands pinched his "head" through a layer of air.
As the rule of the infinite flow world, it has always adhered to a rule, that is, it itself is the final BOSS of this world.
But at this moment, under those dim and cold eyes, it trembled and dared not utter a word.
"Nice to meet you. I am system A001 from the highest cosmic plane." Chu Qingkong spoke quietly, his voice smooth and even, and tightened his palms.
The infinite flow rules that he grasped, a ball of black silk, began to twist and struggle violently due to the severe pain.
What did it just hear...?
Chu Qingkong is a system that is innately derived from a higher-dimensional universe plane. In a sense, it has the same rules, but is much more powerful than it.
This is a deep level of repression.
Chu Qingkong: "What do you want to do to my host?"
Infinite Flow World Rules: "..."
Mom! This is so scary!
Chu Qingkong stroked the dog's head, a little fierce, a little indifferent, and said concisely: "Now, immediately, withdraw your ban."
The infinite flow rules scared her to death, and she quickly stretched out her black stockings to revoke all the previous bans.
The rules were retracted, and its own black silk form also expanded a little.
"I'll take it back," it said aggrievedly, "Do you think this is okay...?"
Chu Qingkong took a glance and let it go.
Finally, a warning: "Don't have thoughts that you shouldn't have."
Infinite Flow World Rules: "..."
“… Got it, boss.”
…
Chu Qingkong was interrupted by the rules of the infinite flow world and it was almost time to get off work.
"It's 21:00! Host, host, I'm off work!"
"Okay Chuchu."
Shi Weizhi stayed in an upper room of the inn. He would look for new clues for the mission tomorrow. He smiled at him and said, "See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow!"
With a "whoosh", Chu Qingkong disappeared from the infinite flow world.
He took the space-jump tunnel and with a flick of his hand he changed the destination from the "Main God Space" to the "Cultivation World".
Off work? No! He still has to work overtime!
You wouldn't believe it, but his overtime efforts could even deceive his host, who was actively working overtime without him knowing! This feeling of involution was so right—!
But in fact, it was because he was obsessed with the copy settings.
Which Phoenix Clan is this? Is it a Phoenix Clan from a parallel world?
…
Chu Qingkong finally landed in the world of cultivation.
It’s still that snow-capped mountain.
The ice layer is thick and awe-inspiring, with sharp ice crystals standing upright and a faint smell of blood in the air, as if issuing the most stern warning to anyone who trespasses into the forbidden area.
The young man stood in front of the ice spike, stretched out his fingertips, cut his fingertips, and blood dripped onto the extremely cold glacier.
"...Chu Chu?" After finishing everything, Ming Fengque realized that he had come. He turned around and said with a smile, "Are you feeling better? Why did you come so early this time?" He smiled lightly, "I'm very happy."
Chu Qingkong: "...Uh, host, let's not talk about that topic for now."
"What are you bleeding for now?"
The earth shook.
The ice and snow that had been calm just now slowly made way for a path. At the end of the path was a Chaos Gate, emitting a crystal-clear and cold light.
"Hmm?" Ming Fengque tilted his head slightly, glanced at the door, and said nonchalantly, "Nothing much, I just accidentally discovered a secret realm that once belonged to the Phoenix Clan at the end of the snowy mountain. As the only bloodline, I can activate the switch of the secret realm."
Chu Qingkong: “…”
Oops, how come this plot matches the infinite flow copy? There’s a big problem!
His host doesn't really want to meet him, right?
