Chapter 216: Chapter 215: Extraordinary (Subscription Request)

Tang Lai put down his phone, his face looking a bit unsightly.

There was a girl with a baby face next to him, wiping the sweat from his body.

His assistant, Su Nuo, looked around twenty-four or twenty-five years old. She was petite, with a delicate face that was tinged with an unhealthy pallor.

Seeing Tang Lai’s unhappy expression, she worriedly asked, "What happened?"

"It’s all right." Tang Lai’s face instantly softened, and he asked with a smile, "Have you taken your medicine?"

"Not yet... but don’t worry about me." Su Nuo nodded, "If you’re tired, I can speak to the director and have tomorrow’s roadshow postponed. Just don’t overexert yourself."

"It’s fine; it’s just that Boss Luo asked me to attend a meeting. He doesn’t even provide overtime pay..." Tang Lai teased by scratching Su Nuo’s nose, "You go back and take your medicine first. Also, bring me some supper."

"Okay... but remember to rest early."

Watching the girl leave, Tang Lai let out a sigh.

He picked up the phone again: "What has our Hai Ghost discovered?"

"Some Transcendents or [Players] have been approaching the Hai Ghost; though there is no hostility yet." A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, "There are many [Players] and Transcendents here in Yanyun—no fewer than in Yu Zhou. Sister Luo wants you to go and have a look."

"[Great Wall] is watching me," Tang Lai replied. "Besides, they’re only approaching and haven’t wiped out the Hai Ghost yet. It could just be accidental contact; the person may not be an enemy."

"Enough, Tang Lai." The voice on the other end became somber, "You just need to execute the orders, not question them. The medicine for your little assistant... there’s not much left, right?"

Tang Lai laughed, but his handsome face was full of chilliness, "Are you threatening me?"

"..." After a moment of silence, it seemed that the man sensed the anger in Tang Lai’s voice, and his tone softened a bit, "It’s Sister Luo’s order. Make contact with the person. If they show hostility, eliminate them. Whoever the Hai Ghost is targeting is an important target for the Tianyan Association. No mistakes can be made. As for the [Great Wall], they’re only suspicious of the crew at the moment. You can easily escape with your skills. We’re already on our way. We’ll be there later."

"I see!" Tang Lai hung up the phone. Taking a deep breath, he only needed to complete the final task given to him by Luo Qiao—then Su Nuo could be completely freed from her illness.

Before that, he had to bear it! Threatening him using Su Nuo—an invitation to his own demise!

After the task was completed, the first thing he’d do is beat him to death!

"Well, I’ll endure it for now." Tang Lai changed out of his prop clothes. At the same time, his body squirmed, his bones shifting with cracking sounds as his over 1.8-meter height was reduced to around 1.7 meters.

His muscles also changed, making him appear somewhat flabby and stout.

A broken Buddha phantom appeared behind him. The phantom sat cross-legged in midair—covered in darkness, it exuded a solemn aura—but strangely, the Buddha’s head was missing.

With the appearance of the Buddha, Tang Lai’s face also changed, turning into a stubble-faced man in his forties.

He threw out strips of paper people, which transformed step by step, ultimately taking on the appearance of Tang Lai.

The paper Tang Lai folded his arms across his chest, sitting on the chair with his eyes closed, seemingly in meditation.

If Li Changhe saw this scene, he would have probably recognized it as the extraordinary Taoist technique used by Mr. All-known.

"Let’s go see who is so unlucky that they’ve encountered a Hai Ghost of the Tianyan Association. If they’re an enemy..." Tang Lai sighed, checked that there were no flaws in his disguise, and walked out of the resting room.

He glanced in the direction of the distant target, then followed behind some passing extras with his head lowered. No one would have thought that this inconspicuous middle-aged man was the rising actor Tang Lai.

Meanwhile, Li Changhe, He Feng, and the others were still in the living room of Room 1204, staring at the figure that suddenly appeared on the balcony.

Li Changhe’s hands flickered in the air, summoning the jet Mo Blade into his grasp once more. He held it horizontally in front of him.

Mr. All-known warned Li Changhe and the others not to act and wait for him to arrive.

But it would likely take some time for Mr. All-known to get to their location from where he was staying.

Thankfully, the figure on the balcony merely stood there without displaying any hostility.

"What’s this Tianyan Association you mentioned? A [Player Organization]?" Li Changhe asked Mr. All-known via [Friends]. There weren’t many posts about the Tianyan Association on the [forum]; the few that existed merely mentioned it as a mysterious organization.

It was rare for [Players] to come into contact with them.

"It cannot be called a [Player Organization]. They have both Transcendents and [Players] among them." Mr. All-known replied quickly, "In fact, the governments of various countries gathered their own Transcendents in the early stages of the [Evolution Game]."

"I know; my girl has told me about it. You guys, this kind of Transcendent, actually joined [Great Wall] as external members at that time."

"What do you mean, ’you guys’? You all find us that unpleasant?" Mr. All-known grumbled back, "There aren’t many Transcendents willing to help the government, and they can be divided into three major categories. My kind is friendly to the government, which is pretty good! There’s also a group of Transcendents who remain neutral—mostly Earth Level Transcendents and above who are older and don’t like competing to be the best. They maintain a neutral stance. The abbot of Jiushan Temple is one of them; he occasionally contacts the government through us. What do you mean by ’you guys’? You bastard! My reputation among Transcendents in Hua Country is still quite prestigious, alright?"

"Oh, so there are Transcendents who are hostile towards the government?" Li Changhe was startled—how had they not been beaten to death?

"It’s not hostility towards the government. It’s hostility towards the [Evolution Game]." Mr. All-known, who was still on his way, took out a bell and started ringing it; yet no sound came from it—only the force of his strikes was transmitted.

Several kilometers away, in an internet cafe, a long-haired middle-aged man slowly looked up.

"It’s Mr. All-known? He’s summoning Taoist Transcendents!"

"Master, you’re so great! So great!" The girl sitting beside him bellowed, "Can’t you play properly? How did you miss that move!?"

Her face changed as she continued to yell, "It’s really that fat bastard. What happened? Has a Class B ghost entered Yanyun?"

The middle-aged man shook his head slowly and, after taking off his headphones, said, "I’ll go there first; you can follow depending on the situation."

Before the girl could say anything, the middle-aged man had disappeared from the internet cafe.

The nearby cafe customers rubbed their eyes vigorously, wondering if they were hallucinating from spending too much time online. How could a person just vanish?

Meanwhile,

"The [Evolution Game] allows [Players] to improve their attributes. In the eyes of Transcendents, this creates abnormal Transcendents! This makes them feel very hostile towards the [Evolution Game]. So, they’re very unfriendly to any [Player]." Mr. All-known replied, "As for the strange organization called the Tianyan Association, they not only resent the [Evolution Game] but also desire to create a whole new Transcendent system using the [Evolution Game]. They’re always searching for potential seeds and assigning Hai Ghosts to them. With their sinister methods, they become [Players] and Profound or even Earth Level Transcendents."

"So, you’re saying I accidentally came into contact with one of their marked targets? If I appear hostile, they’ll come for me?"

"That’s right!"
