I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature
Chapter 868 - 629: Is Being Comprehensive Not So Good?

Chapter 868: Chapter 629: Is Being Comprehensive Not So Good?

Dusk, however, didn’t care whether the Great World’s Boundary Breaking Faction was fated to break through the boundary. They would only arrange people, and once they found the right person, they would throw them into the mix. If the problem was solved, everyone would rejoice; if not, the Proxy Agent and the natives of this world would be buried together.

But now two Proxy Agents were about to join the burial...

"You must have quite a few reserve chances left," Zheng Yichen said.

"No matter how many chances, they can’t withstand such torment," Du Gang shook his head helplessly, "What use are multiple chances?"

Still, he couldn’t escape Dusk’s structure, not able to buy his freedom with a large amount of merit points like a Dusk mercenary. Dusk had clearly stated that such an option didn’t exist.

He could sloppily use his reserve chances to offset Dusk’s missions, but there was no benefit to that, and it would waste his chances of survival.

"With your strength, you should have quite a few, right?"

"I’m counting the days, almost a full year as a newcomer."

Du Gang’s expression became more animated, not with envy but with a kind of pity, "That means you’ve been squeezed quite hard by Dusk."

It was normal for Proxy Agents to grow rapidly. When he had become one, in just two and a half years, he reached a level he never dared to dream of in his lifetime. Then, for the following ten-plus years, his growth rate ’standardized.’

Simply put, he was like joining an upgrade event when he first became a Proxy Agent, gaining a substantial increase in Attributes with each upgrade. After reaching max level, he couldn’t gain Attributes through upgrading anymore but had to look for other ways to gain Attribute points.

And those methods to gain Attribute points were not easy; no matter the effort, none were as efficient as upgrading.

Therefore, it was normal for Zheng Yichen to have improved to such an extent in a short period. Comparable to his current strength? That would indicate Zheng Yichen had even greater potential. But higher potential wasn’t necessarily a good thing in Dusk’s eyes; it meant he would receive special attention from Dusk.

Like this time Zheng Yichen arrived here, which was a result of Dusk’s ’care.’ Would Dusk be unaware that this world was a trap set by the Boundary Breaking Faction?

And so what if they knew? They would still send Proxy Agents here, only that the agents they sent would be better suited to solve the problems of this world rather than neglecting it because it was flawed.

"Does a mission outing about once a month on average count?" Zheng Yichen pondered and asked; he hadn’t really had a proper chat with other Proxy Agents.

Du Gang thought for a moment and said, "My average mission interval is about once every two months. Though Proxy Agents are a baseline, Dusk mercenaries aren’t that useless. Among them, there are many strong individuals and organizations. It’s just that due to the special nature of Proxy Agents, there isn’t much intersection between Dusk mercenary organizations and us.

Moreover, in my world, there is a Dusk Mercenary Group."

As they talked, they saw Morning Light tribesmen in the distance. The sentries of the Morning Light tribe, upon spotting Zheng Yichen and the others, immediately ran over. This time there was no conflict. For Du Gang, returning here was like... coming home.

Chun Xi quickly came over to Du Gang, and Zheng Yichen noticed that there was a change in the Clan Leader’s attire. Compared to her previous garments, what she wore now seemed somewhat more conservative.

Du Gang handed Chun Xi a bundle he was carrying, "Inside are things you can use. Make good use of them. If we don’t return after six days, you’ll lead your people to Dusk... the Sacred Land."

"I know, I’ll set out at the end of the sixth day," Chun Xi didn’t say much like a young girl would, she readily accepted the request. As always, she didn’t truly believe that the giant known as ’World’ would die, but she would follow through with the request made by the man she had pledged herself to.

After all, strength was a form of authority. Seeing the massive canyon left behind by the battle between Du Gang and Zheng Yichen, she had no reason not to do as Du Gang said.

If the giant known as ’World’ really was to die... she at least wanted to go to the Sacred Land for the sake of her children.

"Alright, now all of you go back."

Du Gang nodded, and he and Zheng Yichen promptly left the place. They didn’t want to linger a moment longer after likely exposing their tracks—the faster their next move, the better.

On the road, Tanshia Firlo cuddled Zheng Yichen’s head, looking into the distance with red Eyes brimming with intense curiosity.

Du Gang glanced at Tanshia Firlo, finding the young girl quite endearing, with her delicate appearance. While there were no genes for eternal youth in the ancient capital, similar genetic traits could be found in Metamorphosis City. Anyway, with Tanshia Firlo’s appearance, naturally so, she would be very popular there.

A dragon? That was no issue, especially since she was currently in human form.

Du Gang had seen giant dragons before; he had encountered all sorts of Demons and Monsters.

Initially curious about Zheng Yichen’s reasoning for bringing along a child, Du Gang relaxed after learning of Tanshia Firlo’s situation. Training a suitable right hand was indeed quite profitable for a Proxy Agent, assuming they found a creature with the necessary adaptability.

Moreover, their potential for growth had to be high enough; otherwise, it was better to fight alone. Zheng Yichen also possessed an internal space, a feature that allowed him to better protect Tanshia Firlo, ensuring she gained ample battle Experience in a relatively safe environment.

But in this World, it seemed the small white dragon didn’t have much of an advantage.

Magic? The efficacy of magic in this world was really too low.

"We’re almost there, should we send the kid back first?" Du Gang suggested.

"That’s fine." Zheng Yichen reached out to pinch Tanshia Firlo’s cheek but, unsurprisingly, got bitten instead.

"I don’t want to."

"No, you do!" Zheng Yichen stuffed her into the hidden space amidst her wailing. Inside, the small white dragon widened its eyes, its chubby cheeks puffed up, showing an expression that could only make one feel infuriated.

Then she saw Lilith, the intelligent AI, taking out a set of tools. Tanshia Firlo looked puzzled and curiously at the devices Lilith had brought out: "What’s this?"

"Projection device. Wear it, and you’ll be able to project an image outside just like I do."

"Really?"

"Really."

A few minutes later, a new projection brushed onto Zheng Yichen’s shoulder- Tanshia Firlo’s. He pinched this projection that had taken the form of Thumbelina and found it to be as tangible as Lilith’s projection.

"What’s going on?" Zheng Yichen asked Lilith.

"I created a suit of equipment for her that allows her to produce a projection like mine." Lilith answered, adding... and to provide her with some extra data.

"That’s quite good." Zheng Yichen was already thoroughly familiar with Lilith’s projection, influenced by the Divine Domain, the projections were too real.

He flicked Tanshia Firlo’s forehead; the little one puffed up angrily at Zheng Yichen, which made him laugh involuntarily. But then his laughter faded—they had arrived at their destination.

Zheng Yichen held the Army Decimating sniper rifle and looked through its scope at the vast tribe in the distance. Then he aimed the weapon at the sky and spotted some patrolling hawks.

Of course, the hawks in this world were not ordinary eagles; their wingspan approached three meters. Had it not been for Lilith’s projection disguise, their tracks would have already been exposed.

Moreover, Lilith had also marked some areas that hid technological detection devices. There probably weren’t any satellites in the sky...

Perhaps it wasn’t that the Boundary Breaking Faction of the Great World didn’t want to create them, it was more that the circumstances of this world did not allow for such things.

But the hidden gadgets nearby were enough to make anyone trying to stealthily approach this place utterly exposed—except for Zheng Yichen.

"The firewalls on those devices are strong. It takes time to hack in, and it’s easy to be discovered," Lilith reported to Zheng Yichen. Her computing power was already very strong, but the subsequent enhancements focused more on functionality.

She could now outclass some supercomputers, and those supercomputers that could surpass her were not on par physically and functionally with her.

At the same time, the resources of the Boundary Breaking Faction were not to be underestimated; the technology they employed wasn’t so bad.

"I was careless, huh?" Du Gang looked at the projection screen in front of him and sighed wistfully; he had not noticed these devices the last time he was here.

"You didn’t prepare any smart electronic equipment?" Zheng Yichen was somewhat surprised to ask.

"I used to, but it was hardly necessary," Du Gang shook his head. "Because Dusk’s arrangements are always suitable for us Proxy Agents, so as long as we improve ourselves, we can handle most problems."

"..." So I really was treated like a workhorse by the production team, wasn’t I?

Zheng Yichen’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. On average, he had one mission a month, Du Gang had mentioned before that he averaged one every two months; the disparity made Zheng Yichen wonder.

Dusk clearly had the policy of "the capable do more work" spelled out blatantly.

Zheng Yichen was the type that could handle all sorts of situations, so the assignments were plentiful.

Noticing a look on Zheng Yichen’s face, Du Gang asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Sometimes being too well-rounded isn’t so good."

"Ha ha ha ha, that’s better, isn’t it? Look at me now; if I had more comprehensive powers, I wouldn’t have almost gotten killed," Du Gang laughed, then immediately realized what Zheng Yichen was referring to.

He watched the Wild Ancient natives patrolling not far away; this top-tier tribe was ’Incineration,’ and Incineration tribesmen were fiery in nature, often raiding other tribes to strengthen their own, making them infamously notorious among many tribes.

Du Gang described the situation of the tribe to Zheng Yichen: "Moreover, Incineration tribesmen like to seek out alien beasts and use the Wizard’s magic to enhance their tribesmen’s bloodlines—a method likely provided by the Boundary Breaking Faction during their upbringing. Don’t be fooled by their tribal name!"
