Chapter 69: Chapter 68: Gift - Supernatural Fusion Technology

Fengxue Pavilion had a total of two hundred seventy-one players residing at the base, among which only fifty were club players; the rest were temps, all of whom Gu Shanhai had rendered useless.

In a flash, half the people in the entire base were gone, causing many individual players to flee as well.

In this regard, Gu Shanhai wasn’t the least bit timid. If Jian Rufeng had been intimidated by him before, none of this would have happened; they wanted to trap him, so they couldn’t blame him for being ruthless.

If it had to be done, then it must be done thoroughly.

After this, Fengxue Pavilion would either have to change persons or never recover.

The matter would naturally get posted on forums and such, and then, there would be no ’after that.’

Most players would grumble, but if they actually encountered Gu Shanhai, they would definitely steer clear; no one wanted their accounts to become useless, and more importantly, it was because they were ugly! Each one’s appearance became so horrifying and nauseating. Even NPCs would find them repulsive.

Of course, Fengxue Pavilion also revealed that within the Holy Federation, high-level talents could be produced. They even blatantly said that Gu Shanhai had a task that could acquire high-level talent; this was what you would call killing someone with a borrowed knife.

During this time, the number of players entering the Holy Federation increased several folds.

Meanwhile, many studios and clubs settled in the base and had numerous discussions with Gu Shanhai, generally revolving around three purposes.

Either they wanted to buy the task from him, or they wanted to buy the account-destruction potion from him, and lastly, naturally, they wanted to recruit him.

There were those who attempted to persuade him gently and those who threatened him secretly. In any case, with the increased number of people, the base’s infrastructure construction sped up considerably, turning the whole base into a chaotic mess.

Gu Shanhai rejected all propositions, with one intent: don’t interrupt my task completion, and I will leave after it’s done.

Public opinion? As long as he didn’t care about that, players were not essential.

There were also people who wished to use tactics like opening boxes to force Gu Shanhai to hand over the account-destruction potion or the task. Of course, it all came to nothing. First off, his ID was untraceable; secondly, they couldn’t start anywhere via the network.

Some even fancied the idea of obtaining private data from "The First Epoch," but with their meager capabilities, they didn’t have a clue, and even if they found it, the database had no record of Gu Shanhai, as he wasn’t digitized at all.

Thus, many methods that were usually very effective became invalid outright.

As for physically eliminating Gu Shanhai to make him leave this world, it really made no sense. For these clubs and studios, monopoly was unachievable, and Gu Shanhai wasn’t directly meddling with their profits. They weren’t Fengxue Pavilion, and killing him would only bring trouble.

If he entered again next time and targeted their members individually, wouldn’t that be a substantial loss?

These forces were competitors; hence, after Gu Shanhai’s refusal, they didn’t take it too much to heart. High-level talent was indeed rare, but the issue was that the profits weren’t as significant as controlling the production areas of such talents. Here, setting up a full-range leveling service and leading teams, among other services, could easily recoup the investment.

This was akin to the embryonic form of the merchant district in Gu Shanhai’s past life, where the variety of powers awakening and material groups, among others, were profit zones crafted by various clubs and studios.

It was also being replicated now, but since the powers-awakening potions had not yet appeared, it was still in the planning stage until they found a way to consistently produce the abilities, and only then would construction begin.

In the eyes of these forces, the preliminary step was probably to complete the base’s construction; otherwise, without a stable production channel, they naturally couldn’t obtain the corresponding items.

Thus, their idea was the same as Fengxue Pavilion’s—to curry favor with the natives.

"These days, I’ve had much peace of mind, and the task is almost complete," Gu Shanhai looked at the last task—to kill an approaching power beast.

The time was four days later, but actually, he didn’t need to take action personally; these days, players from various forces or individuals had killed every power beast. Most of these power beasts were like bosses. Killing them not only offered rich rewards but could also drop treasure chests. Everyone who saw these power beasts treated them as if they were antagonists, striking them mercilessly.

The base was also nearly established. Completing this task after defeating the power beast should suffice.

By then, He Lingyun would probably be back.

The difficulty wasn’t that great.

"So, how far can He Lingyun’s future vision see... Okay, this proposal is probably the equivalent of scoring a hundred percent on an exam."

He Lingyun’s future vision probably couldn’t see too far ahead, but at least it was more than an hour; otherwise, scoring a hundred percent on the exam might not cover seeing all the answers.

This was already quite powerful. The future wasn’t a fixed constant; if it were, the world wouldn’t be heading toward a post-apocalyptic era but rather an era of powers. This ability could only be maximized when combined with scoring a hundred percent on exams, allowing it to reach a level of impeccable calculations.

"This task of mine..." Gu Shanhai looked at the stagnant task and indeed felt somewhat vexed.

The content of this task was too vague; he had no idea how long he would need to complete it.

He indeed needed this blank invitation as a stepping stone, but that didn’t mean he would really keep lingering in this world for it.
