Chapter 1352: Chapter 950: Fusion Earrings

Li Changhe returned to the room, Xiao Nan was discussing the topics in the forums with Chen Yu.

Actually, Chen Yu was already very well-prepared herself. Being a Great Wall player, resource assurance was naturally unquestionable. She had plenty of ammunition and medical supplies stored up.

She had acquired the Heavenly Eye Divine Abnormality, which enabled her to condense mental energy weapons. For a player with extreme energy like her, this was a significant enhancement.

She captured four Annihilation Duke’s hovering cannons, which could autonomously defend upon activation. It was like having a fully-equipped squad for protection right by her side.

To prepare for any potential emergencies in the ninety-nine cities, she specifically made a trip to the Dream Cruise.

There, she obtained a cassette tape from the girl singing the Apocalypse Song.

She was there to comfort and take the girl into custody, who grew quite fond of her. The girl liked to cling to her leg and call her ’sister’, well... after all, calling her ’aunt’ might result in a pinched cheek.

So, she promptly recorded a song of the Apocalypse Song onto a cassette tape.

Once played, it would bring about a World Destruction Level catastrophe. This was Chen Yu’s last resort. If things truly became irredeemable, she would just trigger the Apocalypse Song and destroy the entire area. It was akin to carrying a big ICBM with her.

Now, Li Changhe had added another layer of insurance for her.

Chen Yu looked at the squirming black mud blob at her feet... that was Li Changhe’s Biomimetic Teardrop, possessing the typical combat strength of Li Changhe and, since it was not a player, it could switch Title Skills back and forth with almost unlimited physical and energy strength.

From that perspective, it was even stronger than the usual Li Changhe.

With it around, she really didn’t need to worry too much. Unless she was assaulted by too many powerful foes, the situation was nearly a crushing one.

"This is too much, it’s really not necessary..." Chen Yu looked at the teardrop, her eyes filled with complexity.

Xiao Nan had given her a Rebirth Pill, and Li Changhe had commanded the teardrop to protect her. And she... this made her feel so guilty she wanted to escape.

She tried hard to hide her emotions and feelings, wanting to refuse these kind gestures.

Xiao Nan shook his head and said, "It’s uncertain whether Annihilation also realized your importance, better to be cautious. Having the teardrop to protect you, it makes me feel more at ease. This is even more secure than storing demigod skills."

"Wife is right," Li Changhe nodded, losing the teardrop temporarily would weaken him somewhat, but that was it. As the strongest player in that Task, he had the confidence.

"Of course, if you feel embarrassed, just don’t compete with me for the girl later on."

These days, it had been Chen Yu accompanying Xiao Nan, which made Li Changhe quite jealous. The kind where he wouldn’t even dip his dumplings in vinegar. It looked like last time’s healing had been too intense...

"Heh, don’t even think about it." Chen Yu wore a haughty expression that suggested a beauty belongs only to the strong.

"At this time, I should probably say, you both are my wings," Xiao Nan joked as he wrapped his arm around Li Changhe, laughing.

After a few jokes among the trio.

Li Changhe asked, "What were you just talking about, something about fusion?"

Then, looking suspiciously at the two, he asked, "Who’s merging with whom? Finally, Chen Yu... you’ve shown your true colors!"

"See, I told you he would think the wrong thing," Xiao Nan laughed lightly, "It’s from the intelligence we’ve gathered recently. There’s news circulating within some big organizations, the source is unknown."

"News? About fusion?" Li Changhe pondered.

"Yes, some say that if you merge with yourself from the Ninety-Nine Netherworld Cities, you will gain greater talent and strength. For this reason, some players are willing to pay a high price for fusion earrings," Chen Yu said.

Fusion earrings are a secret treasure that merges two individuals into one.

They come in pairs, and it is said that they are far more numerous than the Necromancer Parchments. Yet few pursue this secret treasure.

The effect is that it forcibly merges two individuals into one, potentially creating a stronger entity. Of course, if they are incompatible, they might end up weaker.

Many players see this as quite useless.

After all, the merged consciousness will belong to neither of the original individuals. It is a new consciousness.

And the body will undergo massive changes, which are irreversible.

Merging two players into one who might be stronger but could also be weaker, and not being able to separate again, poses too great a risk for players.

Taking this risk just to become stronger is unnecessary. After all, with a new consciousness, it’s debatable whether it’s still ’you.’ Moreover, you might not even become stronger. Those with low compatibility, when merged, will become weaker.

And there are significant ethical problems as well.

Hmm... For instance, if the girl were to merge with Chen Yu, how would Li Changhe face her?

Is she still his wife? No, she is a new entity. He would lose the girl forever, and also lose a good friend.

And there could be even more disgusting situations.

This is another flaw of the fusion earrings. Of course, some players might not mind this.

In any case, no one cares about this kind of secret treasure.

Though some have used this treasure to greatly increase their strength, no one envies them.

Unexpectedly, now there is news spreading. And theoretically speaking, it seems to make some sense,

The Netherworld Ninety-Nine Cities are very close to the main world, and in that world, there is also another ’self.’

Merging with oneself naturally would not involve issues of low compatibility. Once merged, the strength would certainly increase dramatically.

Furthermore, if the other world’s self is powerful, it could even help the fusion body reach higher levels.

This statement is not incorrect.

As for consciousness, some say that similar consciousnesses merging might not cause too noticeable a change.

Some players think they are smart, believing that they can dominate the new consciousness.

This is the bad habit of smart people, always thinking they are different. The smarter they are, the more they think they will succeed, believing that others fail simply because they are not smart enough, but who knows the outcome?

"In any case, this news is spreading among many forces, driving up the price of the fusion earrings, which were originally very low," Xiao Nan said. "To gain strength, some are willing to sacrifice anything. I know of at least one foreign holder who plans to try merging. It’s disgusting to think how he will face his family after."

"Moreover, those who spread this kind of news definitely have no good intentions. This causes some of the powerful beings who should be completing tasks to help humanity to be busy finding their other selves," Chen Yu analyzed. "Considering some players’ nature, they would risk failure of their critical tasks for greater gains."

"Indeed..." Li Changhe pondered. "Moreover, they probably won’t consider the wishes of their other selves. Even if the other occupies a crucial position and cannot leave, they would still be forcibly merged... indeed treacherous intentions."
