Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Oh, Shugges is a Friendly NPC, It’s the Teammates Who are the Villains

"Hello, stranger."

A very obese bald middle-aged man approached, greeting him in a very friendly manner.

The turn of events caught Gu Shanhai off guard, and he realized that his mission was already complete.

Was it Te Kelei that caused Saint Mary Hospital to be abandoned?

Oh, it did seem to be the case. Without his meddling as a major shareholder, it seemed the hospital wouldn’t have collapsed.

So, was the Shugges Lord a friendly NPC now?

"Hello," replied Gu Shanhai calmly. He didn’t leave immediately, as there’s fortune to be found in danger.

He couldn’t defeat the Shugges Lord, but he could escape immediately.

"Thank you for saving me from that villain. By the great source of all sources above, I absolutely despise this world full of cracks," said the Shugges Lord in a strange tone.

"Full of cracks?" Gu Shanhai was puzzled.

"Yes, this world is full of holes, inhabited by life forms from various worlds. I was reading in the library of the Ancients when he got that book."

"He wants eternal life, damn it. Do you know how insane he is? He actually wanted to merge with me," the Shugges Lord cursed. Eternal life for these mythical creatures wasn’t really rare, almost standard.

"I understand, but I’m still confused. Did he lure me here just to stop you? And why did he die after drinking the potion?" asked Gu Shanhai.

"Of course not, he just wanted to use you as a ritual sacrifice. As for dying after drinking the potion," the Shugges Lord paused, then said cunningly, "He drank them in the wrong order. Yes, I tricked him on purpose."

"So, with or without me, you could’ve escaped on your own?" Gu Shanhai understood the cause and effect.

"I still needed a bit of help. After all, without a sacrifice, he wouldn’t have come and drunk the magic potion," the Shugges Lord honestly admitted.

"So, you’re planning to leave now, right?" asked Gu Shanhai.

This Shugges Lord appeared to have been infiltrated into the human world for a long time, with an exceedingly complex mind, leaving Gu Shanhai somewhat uncertain.

"No, no, no. It’s too dangerous outside. I’m too weak and need sufficient time and nutrients to recover, and this place is very suitable," the Shugges Lord declared bluntly.

Gu Shanhai was taken aback. Dangerous, huh?

It seemed this world was truly out of the ordinary.

"Well then, I’m getting ready to leave. But I need to scoop up a fortune from the logistics warehouse before I go. You don’t mind, right?" asked Gu Shanhai.

"Why would I mind? But if you don’t mind, take me with you. It’s indeed quite unbearable here," the Shugges Lord suggested.

Gu Shanhai was inclined to refuse, but upon reflection, considering he might extract some information along the way since he could run and the other couldn’t kill him instantly, he considered it.

If a player completed the mission, they would be instantly teleported back, but Gu Shanhai wasn’t; he had considerable freedom, even the possibility of settling in this world if he chose not to leave.

"Get in, let me show you my skills," Gu Shanhai confidently said.

Driving a forklift on the way back, he soon steered the conversation toward the technology of flesh integration, which was also part of Te Kelei’s longevity technology... and bio-weapon trading.

By merging civilians with various animals and controlling them, they would become his weapons to dominate the world.

At first, it sounded ambitious, but it was simply delusory. Ruling the world with such a group was laughable.

Even the Shugges Lord mocked Te Kelei’s arrogance.

The two discussed the technology further, and he could ascertain one thing; half the credit for this technology belonged to the Shugges Lord. At least through their communication and exchange, Gu Shanhai had begun to understand this technology, including much-needed knowledge about genes and biology.

However, there were certain limitations.

"If you don’t mind, I’ll take these devices," Gu Shanhai asked.

"No problem. I don’t have much interest in scientific research. Often, it was just to blend in with people. This time, my visit happened to be in a scientific environment, so I just played along. Actually, I prefer sculpture," the Shugges Lord spoke animatedly.

"That’s really appreciated." Gu Shanhai felt he had gambled correctly, but soon another issue arose—he couldn’t possibly carry all this equipment.

Most of the scientific and experimental gear was intact here, including numerous books, but it was impossible to take everything.

So, he tentatively asked the Shugges Lord.

Gu Shanhai was certain; this Shugges Lord’s origins were extraordinary, a follower of Ubo Sasra.

"That is indeed a problem, as you are a foreign visitor without pertinent spatial technology. However, if you can offer me a piece of knowledge or a rumor that satisfies me, I’ll help you solve this issue," the Shugges Lord did not readily agree.

"That’s really putting me in a difficult position," about the Shugges Lord seeing through his foreign visitor status, he didn’t care much.

Many in the future could recognize the peculiar presence of players, and some had even successfully used expulsion spells to kick players out of instances.

"I have a Cultivation Technique, includes Golden Bell Shield, Iron Cloth, Child Skill. Take a look," Gu Shanhai took out the items and handed them over.

The Shugges Lord looked at them, couldn’t read the characters...

After all, they weren’t from the same world, but Gu Shanhai helped to translate.

"Such crude biotechnology, long duration, poor effects, I seem to have seen something similar once, created by an entity’s human affiliate. He called it Martial Arts."

"Pity I haven’t seen the contents, just exchanged for ten minutes."

"Alright, this Cultivation Technique has piqued my interest. Perhaps I could create Shugges Martial Arts from this. If we meet again, when I have perfected the Shugges Martial Arts, I’ll definitely give you a copy."

The Shugges Lord reluctantly accepted and then began to help Gu Shanhai solve his problem.

Gu Shanhai was flabbergasted. What in the world was Shugges Martial Arts? In his previous life, he had heard of someone practicing Cthulhu Xingyi Boxing. He felt like his rebirth had started to flap the wings of a butterfly, and who knows, maybe a Shugges Sect might appear in a Martial World in the future.

Just imagining it felt deeply sinister.
