I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature
Chapter 1014 - 741: Really Didn’t

Chapter 1014: Chapter 741: Really Didn’t

"As long as the environment of the world is good, we’ll definitely help out," Lillian said to Zheng Yichen with a serious look on her little face.

"Actually, you don’t need to help out too much; killing too many Devourers easily leads to kill-stealing..." Zheng Yichen said sincerely, not doubting the intention of the two Luminous Holy Maidens to help, but their dealing with the Devourers did not benefit the Dusk mercenaries in any way.

"Hey! This is a matter involving many lives, and you’re talking like this?" Lillian couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.

"You should know that the main force here is still the Dusk mercenaries, hahaha, just come as you are. There are still plenty of capable fighters on the side of the Devouring Faction, and when we get there, I’ll tell you who you need to watch out for."

Zheng Yichen smiled and then opened the entrance to the built-in space: "Let’s go in."

Since Du Gang had something urgent, after giving some instructions, he did not plan to waste any more time here.

The sooner we go, the sooner we return.

After bringing Liu Hongzhao and the others to the Dusk Cathedral, Zheng Yichen first looked at the notice board, which was of no use to him.

He found Tia directly: "They want to go to Du Gang’s world, how about it?"

"They can go."

"I want to go too."

Tia glanced at Zheng Yichen: "That won’t count as part of the mission."

"That’s fine, the question is can I follow them for free?"

"No," Tia very straightforwardly shattered Zheng Yichen’s fantasy, indicating that there are rules in this place.

"Tsk, so rigid. I might as well take them over myself... wait a second, if I take them over like this, they wouldn’t be considered on a mission, right?"

Tia nodded her head.

Zheng Yichen had nothing to say, he thought for a moment and asked: "You’ve read the novel I gave you, right?"

"I did."

"Then what do you think about the reforms here... Could I get a promotion if the reforms actually take place? I’m not expecting to become some kind of ’Father’, but being promoted to a position higher than Proxy Agent would be nice, preferably with more autonomy and lower merit point requirements, etc... That would all be good."

"As long as you can live for two thousand years, you will see what’s called ’reform’ then." Tia said calmly, and Zheng Yichen became curious.

He asked: "How is this time calculated?"

Two thousand years, ah, I have to do twelve missions a year, let’s say eleven to be conservative, that accumulates twenty-two thousand assignments. In terms of Immortality Cultivation transmigrator standards, isn’t that pretty much Defying the Heavens?

Are there really that many worlds that need saving? Uh... apparently, there are.

Each flower represents a world; there’s an abundance of worlds out there.

"Big data calculation."

"... So you’re saying, based on the current development, in two thousand years Dusk will no longer be able to suppress the troublemaking forces with its current methods, and that’s why reforms are needed? Aren’t you guys too passive? Wouldn’t it be better to take more initiative?"

"You can try to annihilate the Boundary Breaking Organization."

"If I could do that, last time I wouldn’t have been in such a mess," Zheng Yichen clicked his tongue: "Let’s set off."

Liu Hongzhao and the others went to Du Gang’s world with the other Dusk nuns, while he bought a ticket to go there.

Both parties arrived at the same time, and the previously moderately crowded Dusk Cathedral became very lively.

Apart from the natives, the rest were all Dusk mercenaries who had come here, and this world knew about the existence of Dusk mercenaries, so seeing so many ’armed personnel’, some of the locals weren’t too surprised.

They were more like the official permanent personnel here, and the ordinary native residents were almost the same... This world was martial by nature, and even ordinary people could practice Vajra Body and metamorphosed body.

It’s just that the version practiced by ordinary people is basically for strengthening and maintaining health, but in this world, it still shows considerable effectiveness. For example, ordinary firearms which are quite useful in low environment worlds are not that effective in this world.

"Brother Chang Qing, over here!" Lin Yaoyao waved her hand to Zheng Yichen; there were many people from Dusk around, making it difficult for them to come over immediately.

This place has just been invaded by the Devouring Faction, and personnel are still being gathered. In a world that has long known about the existence of Dusk mercenaries, would those from the Devouring Faction get scared and run off?

Zheng Yichen thought the likelihood wasn’t too low.

But since he was here, he might as well take a look.

Walking over, Zheng Yichen said, "Let’s go, let’s first visit a friend."

There are still people around here, so there’s no need to rush to find those from the Devouring Faction. Dealing with the Devouring Faction isn’t like dealing with the Boundary Breakers, who could be seen as fraudsters...

They first infiltrate this world, gain the trust of the world’s indigenous people, and then start causing trouble. Therefore, it’s difficult to directly discover their traces. Only when their actions have a significant impact on this world, will they be detected by Dusk.

The Devouring Faction has no subtlety; it’s just like a home invasion, violent and very straightforward. The natives are doomed if they can’t defeat them, and generally, the natives really can’t overcome the Devouring Faction.

Over there is a Devouring Sky Pillar, and when the natives fight against the Devouring Faction, they are innately suppressed, so even having the home field advantage does nothing to help.

Even in worlds with low environmental levels, the natives with their technological strength can hardly hold any advantage.

As a veteran, Du Gang had discussed with Zheng Yichen the difficulties in dealing with the Devouring Faction. Many times, the Devouring Faction forces the appearance of Proxy Agents, unlike the Boundary Breaking Faction, where the Dusk mercenaries can probably fight to a stalemate.

Fighting the Devouring Faction, the Devouring Faction easily controls at least eighty percent of the battle... However, that Devouring Sky Pillar is a very nice thing. If a way to knock a piece off and preserve it could be found, it could be top-grade Strengthening material.

Clearly, the significance of the Sky Pillar’s energy is not Zheng Yichen’s unique discovery; Dusk mercenaries have existed for so long that they could more or less discover anything.

It’s just that he hasn’t had much contact with the Dusk mercenaries, so he feels that not many people are aware of it.

"Brother Chang Qing, does this world have Supreme Demons?" Liu Hongzhao asked while walking along the street with Zheng Yichen.

Everyone in this world practices Cultivation, and even ordinary people have traces of martial arts, as Liu Hongzhao could see. Moreover, the environment here is not low, whether in terms of intensity or energy levels, it’s somewhat higher than her own world.

"Do you want to confront beings like gods?"

"If those Supreme Demons deserve to die..." Liu Hongzhao’s voice took on a sinister tone, she had no favorable feelings towards the existence of Supreme Demons. Yet, she did not reject such power.

Having such power would help her exterminate those Supreme Demons that should die for the human race.

"That’s unfortunate because there are no such Supreme Demons in this world. There are plenty of Demonic Beasts, though; the rest are all human."

If there were beings like Supreme Demons, those guys who didn’t act human would have been hunted down one by one by the local Du Gang.

But just because an environment is highly developed doesn’t mean Supreme Demons will necessarily appear; anyway, there aren’t any in this world.

"That’s really too bad; I can’t find the best target to test my new techniques on." Qi Xiangyun reached for the Weapon hanging at her waist.

"Don’t underestimate the people from the Devouring Faction. They get a boost from the Sky Pillar’s energy and are formidable in combat, and you will have to bear the suppression of the environment being drained to a ’vacuum’."

Zheng Yichen reminded them and detailed the common characteristics of the Devourers. They devour worlds with brute force, requiring substantial hard strength and endless support.

Boundary Breakers are like fishing with a wide net once they infiltrate a world, but the Devouring Faction is more about one-on-one duels, less efficient but with a higher success rate.

"Environment becoming a vacuum, I could try using the Supreme Demon Weapon to suppress the surroundings." Lin Yaoyao placed her hand on the hilt of her sword: "If the environment is stable enough, the Devouring Faction wouldn’t be able to extract more energy, right?"

"It can suppress, but only partially," Zheng Yichen glanced at Lin Yaoyao, who had a hint of confidence. He looked towards the distant sky; through thermal vision, he could see a ’vortex’ invisible to the common eye.

This immense vortex that darkened the sky within thermal vision was turning very slowly, but its speed was gradually increasing.

The Devouring Faction has begun to plunder this world’s resources.

But now, the scale of plundering wasn’t significant, so the natives here had no direct feeling of it. Even Liu Hongzhao and her group didn’t sense anything abnormal with the environment.

When a gentle breeze blew by, no one would think that this wind would soon become a destructive storm.

"Brother Chang Qing, have some faith in me."

Lin Yaoyao huffed at Zheng Yichen. Zheng Yichen smiled, just as he was about to say something, Liu Hongzhao interrupted, "With the environment’s power already drained, what are you suppressing? The air? Or are you thinking of drawing up a safe zone to wait for death?"

"Another method works too," replied Lin Yaoyao with a snort: "Instead of suppressing, collecting directly in advance. Gather enough strength beforehand, and use it when it gets to battle."

Liu Hongzhao didn’t object to Lin Yaoyao this time: "That’s not a bad idea."

Their Supreme Demon Weapons originally didn’t possess the characteristic to store extra energy, but after being Strengthened with branches and leaves from the World Tree, they could temporarily store a vast amount of the natural Elements’ power.

While the Devouring Faction draws the energy of this world, they could also store a tremendous amount of energy in advance to deal with the Devourers, not having to worry about being suppressed in battle.

"The Illusory Eye would work too, right?" Quiet until now, Qi Xiangyun blinked her right eye, and an automaton appeared beside her, but only those who used the Illusory Eye could see this automaton.

People on the street paid no attention to the automaton following them. To detect such a thing, one needs exceptionally good perception.

"Mental power doesn’t rely on the environment," stated Qi Xiangyun as the nimble automaton practiced a set of martial arts. She nodded in satisfaction: "These automatons created by the Illusory Eye are more flexible than actual beings."

The young girl commanding the automaton dismissed it and turned to Zheng Yichen: "Brother Chang Qing, you really value the world that can produce Illusory Eyes, so you must have some specific plans against the Devouring Faction, right?"

"..."

That? He really hadn’t thought about that.
