Chapter 39: Chapter 39: The Return of Analog Horror

Xiao Yi felt like he had been kept.

And it wasn’t just the regular kind of being provided for where he didn’t have to worry about food or clothing.

In this prosperous city, no matter which shop Xiao Yi entered, or what items he took, nobody would stop him to ask for payment.

On the contrary, Xiao Yi could also enjoy the best service; he could do whatever he wanted, take whatever he desired.

The only requirement for receiving such treatment was that Xiao Yi had to cooperate well with Dragon Country and clear Analog Horror.

Although he had no idea what Analog Horror was, or when it would arrive, Xiao Yi had already decided that if it did come, he would take it seriously.

...

In stark contrast to the carefree Xiao Yi, Dick from Lighthouse Country was currently the picture of gloom.

He was confined to a villa, and no matter how large the villa was or how beautiful the scenery, he had grown sick of it. However, he couldn’t leave the place because this was the greatest freedom Lighthouse Country could afford him.

But that wasn’t what depressed Dick the most.

Since returning from the highest difficulty instance, he had found that everything had changed.

His reputation had plummeted, almost to the point where people would curse him on sight.

The thrill of adoration that he had been looking forward to could no longer be enjoyed, and the attitudes of the ruling factions in Lighthouse Country had shifted; they no longer showed him the respect they previously had.

But in Dick’s view, he hadn’t done anything; he had just cleared an instance like he always did.

All of this, it was all the fault of that Dragon Country Person named Xiao Yi!

Xiao Yi’s emergence, along with his unattainable 91% completion rate, sent Dick’s formerly number one status into freefall.

Having lost that number one halo also led people to rationally reassess Dick and to see his true level of ability.

Thus, Dick’s status fall wasn’t so much a plummet as it was a return to where it should have been.

But Dick himself didn’t see it that way; he believed everything he deserved had been stolen by Xiao Yi!

If it weren’t for Xiao Yi’s appearance, Dick might still be Lighthouse Country’s superhero, adored by all.

But then Xiao Yi appeared, making it tough for Dick even to seek a fan now!

What was even more infuriating was that Xiao Yi was an idiot with an IQ of only 6! This was a complete insult to Dick!

"Xiao Yi... Xiao Yi! It’s all your fault! All your fault!"

Inside his villa, Dick furiously smashed furniture and objects, uglily venting his inner turmoil.

The guards responsible for protecting him, as well as the household servants, could only watch from the side, not daring to speak up or intervene.

At that moment, a guard received a message and dared to step forward to ask:

"Professor Dick, the Great Commander says he would like to see you. Shall I let him in?"

"The Great Commander?" Dick spat, "Tell him to get lost! That useless cur; I’ve given so much for Lighthouse, yet he can’t even maintain my reputation. He’s a piece of trash unworthy of meeting with me!"

"Yes..."

The guard had no choice but to withdraw, hastily apologizing to the Great Commander who was already waiting at the door.

Dick’s rage did not subside, instead, it grew stronger.

"Come to think of it, I still haven’t heard the news of Xiao Yi’s death, when did Lighthouse Country become so incompetent, unable to assassinate even an idiot! Damn it!"

"As it turns out, you’re thinking about such things, eh? Not contemplating a fair defeat but resorting to these despicable methods, truly disgraceful."

Just as Dick was furiously cursing, a soothing voice echoed in the villa, and a black-haired girl walked in.

Hearing that unforgettable voice, Dick’s heartbeat skipped a beat.

His anger dissipated in an instant, and, with fear filling his eyes, he looked at the newcomer, forcing out a strained smile.

"You... What brings you here?"

Even though the other party was just a girl, Dick’s attitude was extremely respectful.

The reason was simple, for Dick feared the girl.

She was... the terrifying existence that anyone who sought a higher realm had to face, only to be effortlessly crushed by her.

Despite her young age, her intellect dwarfed that of all in Lighthouse Country.

She was thus referred to... a monster born after the personification of the concept of wisdom.

Facing Dick, the girl revealed a disdainful smile and responded,

"It’s nothing, just coming over to ask when you can die."

"What...!" Dick felt his heart stop, and he hastily asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"It means nothing." The girl laughed, "I just wanted to join in on Analog Horror for fun, but you’ve been hogging this spot, which has been quite bothersome for me."

"Analog Horror? But didn’t you say that it was boring and you didn’t want to participate?"

"That was then, and now is different. A fascinating individual has arrived, which has sparked my interest in playing with him."

"A fascinating individual?" Dick immediately thought of someone, "Are you talking about... Xiao Yi?"

"Who else but him?"

Xiao Yi! Always Xiao Yi!

Suppressing his anger, Dick asked,

"That idiot with an IQ of only 6, he just got lucky clearing the highest difficulty instance, what’s so interesting about that?"

However, the girl said, "Do you really think his IQ is only 6? Then you really are a fool, huh? With an IQ of 6, one can’t even take care of themselves, how could he possibly appear to be normal?"

"What...!" Dick was startled and quickly asked, "What do you mean?"

"You’re so stupid." The girl sighed, "This means he’s not as simple as he appears. Do you really think one can clear the highest difficulty purely based on luck? You better not underestimate him too much, it could be the death of you."

"..."

Dick fell silent, but in his heart, he cursed the girl in front of him,

"Damn Dragon Descendant!"

The so-called Dragon Descendants are those with Dragon Country ancestry who reside in other countries and hold citizenships from those countries.

This girl was a Dragon Descendant.

Looking at Dick, the girl suddenly said,

"Cursing me in your heart only makes me more determined to see you dead."

"What...!" Dick was instantly drenched in cold sweat, nearly forgetting that this girl possessed penetrating intellect!

Moreover, she said she wanted him dead, how could this not frighten Dick!

"However, I can’t kill you right now, since I am a law-abiding citizen and can’t do anything illegal." Saying so, the girl raised her hand to look at her wristwatch, "Don’t look at me with such fear, I won’t personally harm you. Moreover, as a fellow citizen of Lighthouse Country, I’ll kindly give you a heads-up. Analog Horror will be arriving soon."

"What are you saying? How could you possibly know that?"

The arrival of Analog Horror was completely random, and not even a supercomputer could calculate its pattern, so how could she know?

Nevertheless, the girl answered in this way, "Of course, I calculated it myself, and I even derived the formula. Do you want to know it?"

"..."

Right now, Dick’s heart was filled with fear; he longed to escape this place immediately, how could he possibly want to look at any formula.

The girl lightly and tauntingly laughed, "Anyways, just try your best to struggle and survive."

As soon as the girl’s words fell, Analog Horror arrived, just as she had said.
