Chapter 221: Chapter 205: The Intensifying Game

The person who answered the phone did not look good. In that instant, he associated it with many things.

Two incidents happening almost simultaneously, what did it mean?

Had the "Game" officially gone to war with "Delusion"?

"Ladies and gentlemen, just now, I received important information passed on from the lower branches."

"A man named Pan Hao made a phone call, saying he found a girl who had crossed over from a parallel world."

"Is it the Pan Hao who escaped from Paradise?!"

"Yes... but not many people know of the name Pan Hao, so it didn’t draw much attention from the grassroots workers."

"Pan Hao claims that this girl was brought over by the power of a Saint."

"But in this girl’s room, our staff found over 20 kilograms of mithril!"

kilograms?! The amount shocked everyone.

Even though Great Xia was vast, mithril was mostly hidden in certain trenches deep in the ocean, with yearly production being around 10 kilograms.

Now, suddenly, there was two years’ worth of it!

"But that’s not all. The girl has disappeared, entering a funeral parlor."

"Pan Hao seems to be having some mental issues, repeatedly saying something unclear, ’The funeral parlor is converted from Qingtian Hospital.’ He claims that ’Delusion’ is rewriting a concept of our world. A small geographical concept only known to locals."

The funeral parlor is converted from Qingtian Hospital? What does that mean?

With insufficient information, everyone was confused.

"The ’Game’ brought this girl over, possibly involving a bet between two Demon Gods."

"Does that mean she is very important?"

"But what use is a single human?"

They couldn’t understand, couldn’t figure it out.

Soon, someone retrieved the local funeral parlor’s data from the database, including address, construction date, and daily workload—every piece of data was there.

"The funeral parlor was indeed converted from Qingtian Hospital... um, has this concept been rewritten... but what does rewriting a concept mean?"

People had only analyzed for a few minutes when suddenly, the screen started to blur!

Everyone’s head throbbed with pain, and in just a few seconds, they forgot something—even the person who had answered the phone forgot what Pan Hao had said.

The screen was now blank.

Of course, a few S-class Spiritual Ability Users, barely, used their personal abilities to resist the memory-blurring phenomenon...

They quickly realized what had happened. Such an ability was shocking, able to erase a fact!

Even with some expectations in their hearts, facing this situation in reality still left them bewildered and anxious.

How to counter the ability to erase facts?

"Even... the database has been altered?"

"We need a super-mental shielding device... It’s not attacking us specifically."

The lead old man, enduring his headache, quickly spoke out, "I will personally meet with Pan Hao, prepare for a turnaround!"

"You all try to analyze the etheric fluctuations we just experienced, and get ready for logistics. Allow some people to hide in the Game Training Camp for targeted testing."

"Can the seismograph lock onto ’Delusion’?"

"For the time being... it can’t."

The old man pondered for a moment, then resolutely said, "The threat of invasion from ’Delusion’... ranked S-class!!"

"We can’t wait any longer, start a global emergency meeting, many people are already gathered at Taishan Altar."

"We have no time to lose!"

As if a calamity loomed over them, the Black-clothed Guard members all wore solemn expressions, starting their tasks with the utmost speed.

An S-class disaster naturally required an S-class response.

Frozen watermelon, refreshingly quenching the thirst, one bite and the heat of summer dissipated, truly a mortal’s delight.

Old Wang, who was creating "strangeness," took off his helmet reluctantly, eating another couple of bites of watermelon.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have evolved a Stone Buddha!]

[Rare Level: Extremely rare!]

"This game is a lot of fun!"

The process of making chilled watermelon also requires particular care.

The watermelon needs to be of the crisp and juicy variety, for the tender kind tends to taste less fresh when eaten; on the other hand, you can’t freeze it too hard—timing is key, or else it just tastes like an ice pop, and too much of that will make your gums ache.

Plus, chilled watermelon must be paired with Sprite; even pouring some Sprite into it to chill it is a nice choice!

"Life is wonderful!"

These days, he had been engrossed in the little game, "Reincarnated as a Monstrosity," evolving countless "weakling" monsters.

Just now, he had finally evolved a guy that looked somewhat decent!

[Stone Buddha: A supernatural item born from the Moho Interface, exists by relying on human faith.]

[Superpower: Ability Elimination, within a 5-kilometer radius of the Stone Buddha, the use of Spiritual Ability will become exceptionally difficult.]

[Evaluation: Barely passable in a fight!]

This thing, stone-like as it is, turned out to be the strongest monster he had worked out after so many days!

Before becoming a Strange Object, it truly could fight!

When it encountered enemies, it would bite with teeth, punch and kick; ordinary weakling monsters stood no chance at all!

But this guy had a flaw too—his brain didn’t work very well, and he eventually evolved into a stone—or became what humans would call a Strange Object.

"So Strange Objects are monsters that failed evolution, how... utterly bizarre."

All in all, the "Stone Buddha" was still far, far from the goal Wang Hao had in mind.

According to Wang Hao’s expectations, he wanted at least to evolve a "King of Monsters," or an "Evil God," and if he got a little greedier, even a Subordinate Demon God would be fine!

But after so many days, even when using an orange Talent.

He only managed to get a "Stone Buddha."

This thing, in the Human World, would be blown to bits by a missile in a minute, totally useless.

Thinking this, he couldn’t help but feel downcast.

"This little game is freaking liver-breaking, going through a hundred million chances, just to produce an Evil God, maybe?"

"If there really is an Etheric Abyss in the world... well, a hundred million tries wouldn’t be enough."

"The game is already a simplified version."

In the setting, how vast the Etheric Abyss is, how fierce the survival environment, hoping for a single Evil God to arise from a hundred million primitive lives is pure fantasy.

Even a trillion would be far from enough...

"Unless I spend like crazy, and draw a Mythical Level starting Talent!"

"Forget it, forget it, can’t waste too many points on this crappy little game. If it could link up with Cross-dimensional Game, then maybe I could try my luck in a draw."

Wang Hao stretched and walked downstairs.

Suddenly, he discovered that there wasn’t a single customer in the lobby; the emptiness was disconcerting.

Han Xiaoyue was reading something on the computer, and the only regular, "Ling Pingzhi,"... was hiding in his private booth, not coming out.

"Do I have at least one customer?" Wang Hao joked to himself with a self-deprecating laugh.

All the machine indicator lights were blinking with a gleaming blue light.

Those flickering lights, resembling fireflies, looked quite pretty.

But he thought he heard the graphics card screeching.

"What’s up with this, a system crash? It’s not infected with a virus, is it?" Wang Hao asked the front desk girl, Han Xiaoyue, "I heard that criminals try planting secret Trojans to use internet cafe graphics cards for mining. We haven’t fallen for that, have we?"

His machines were high-end; he couldn’t let someone freeload off them for mining!

"No, we haven’t, we are updating the software, the official just notified me—we need to be online for the upgrade," Han Xiaoyue swallowed nervously, looking somewhat anxious.

"Oh, a software update!" Wang Hao nodded, casting a doubtful glance at the machines glowing with blue light.

"See for yourself." Han Xiaoyue pointed at the screen.

On it was a message: [Downloading update package, please wait], and the download progress was incredibly slow, like downloading games with a small bandwidth pipe ten years ago, potentially taking up to ten hours.

"Oh, I see... then just let it download at its own pace."

He was too lazy to meddle with the process, thumping up the stairs to continue enjoying chilled watermelon and to relax his mind.

...

After he left, the girl Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief.

The downloading interface on the screen disappeared.

However, the blue lights on the machines were still flashing.

The game, intense to an extreme degree, was on.

"Hey, hey, hey, you can’t really be getting out-calculated by the opponent, can you?" Xiaoyue teased with a laugh, "If it’s really not working out, I could go beg Big Cousin to grace me with a treasure. I could suppress the opponent in minutes."

Of course, that was impossible. Treasures are fortuitous and cannot be sought after.
