Chapter 142 Chen Feng in Another Timeline
To be honest.
The Empress Dowager's status is definitely no less than that of the Ox-Faced Demon and the Ghost King.
Without the map of the cheat system, who could accurately locate the Empress Dowager from so many sub-bases?
Without the escort system, even if Jia Xu killed the four guards, they would just be reborn from the nursery the next second.
Without the intricate web of the mythical Three Kingdoms, without Cihang's "voluntary" help in holding back the great demon lord, and if the illusion hadn't been exposed in the end... If any one link in the chain had failed, it would have been utterly disastrous.
But the outcome was ultimately good.
"You are the first monster I killed with my own hands."
"How delightful! Mother, I will probably never forget you for the rest of my life."
Chen Feng summoned the system.
After defeating the Empress Dowager, the points rewards from the Great Benefactor System and the drops from the Equipment Enhancement System are minor; the most important reward is, of course, the repair reward from the Great Villain System.
[System notification for the Great Villain: Your mission to rescue Cihang Bodhisattva is three-fifths complete]
You can now select the system you want to repair from the list.
Wow.
As the mission progresses, the villain's abilities become more convenient.
Chen Feng opened the list and saw that the levels of each system were marked on it.
【1.0 System】: Save and load, slay demons and monsters, farming, super avatar, king's shop, cyber ascension, great villain, spendthrift son, demon king's escort.
[1.5 System]: Equipment Enhancement (currently in progress).
【2.0 System】: Mythical Three Kingdoms (Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain), Daily Check-in, Great Philanthropist, Hextech, The Strongest Ghost Catcher.
[System 3.0]: Proficiency (at work)
[System 3.5]: Chat group (under upgrade).
The proficiency system is indeed diligent, far ahead of the competition, and still working hard. On the other hand, the equipment enhancement system suddenly became lazy after only halfway through the upgrade.
Chen Feng shouted to the system, "Once I'm done with the proficiency training, I'll tell him about your slacking off."
Upon hearing Chen Feng's warning, the equipment enhancement immediately switched back to the upgrade status.
And this time.
Chen Feng suddenly realized something very absurd.
Wait a moment.
Why is the save/load function showing version 1.0?
Other systems are version 1.0 because the previous host died and some functions were lost.
The ability to save and load is Chen Feng's built-in system, how could it be version 1.0?
Chen Feng checked the upgrade preview.
As shown above, after the save/load system is upgraded to version 2.0, achievement entries can be obtained based on previous life experiences.
For example, after Chen Feng levels up, he can obtain blue attributes:
[One-Life Speedrun: You can get one extra save attempt when you kill the first boss you encounter.]
The entries are divided into five rarity levels: white, blue, purple, gold, and dark gold.
In addition, there is a green entry that is not among the five tiers, but it is the most special one because it can continuously grow.
The save/load system in version 2.0 can save a maximum of one achievement entry.
After reading these introductions, Chen Feng's expression turned strange:
"Holy crap, is saving and loading that fast?"
"I always said that other people's systems have cultivation and cybernetic modifications, but I only have a few extra lives. Apart from being able to die a few more times, it's completely useless."
"So this is how I got through Cihang City."
"But this still doesn't explain why the save/load function is version 1.0."
"Could it be that time in the dark room?"
In order to uncover the truth, Chen Feng chose to upgrade the save and load system.
[Ding! You have repaired the save/load system]
Your save/load attempt increased by 1.
[You have obtained the blue-labeled one-life speedrun]
[Some information has been unlocked]
information?
Chen Feng recalled that when he first entered the Internet Addiction Academy, he found that save file number 02 was inexplicably corrupted in the dark room. Although this unexpected turn of events saved his life and prevented him from encountering the lord's otherworldly hound.
But he was still very unhappy.
After all, the system is his greatest asset. If a monster can attack the system, he might as well just jump out of the game.
Chen Feng opened the record and saw that the black garbled code had disappeared, replaced by:
[Due to Chen Feng's actions, save file #02 was corrupted. A new save file #03 has been automatically created after you woke up.]
"Did I do it myself?"
"When did I ever use the save/load system? I have absolutely no recollection of it!"
Chen Feng touched his head, but there was no sharp point: "Could it be that using Sianwistan damaged my brain and caused me to lose that memory?"
But then, the scene before him suddenly changed, and a memory from a parallel universe entered his mind.
Inside the dark little house lay an ordinary-looking man.
"it's me."
Chen Feng immediately recognized that this was the dark room of the Internet Addiction Academy, and the person lying on the ground was probably himself who had just been ambushed by the white-coated doctor and had been suffocated.
"Is this me from a parallel universe? If I'm number one, then let's call him number zero."
After waiting for a while, Zero woke up from his coma.
What happened next was already familiar to Chen Feng: he discovered Instructor Pig, was ordered by Instructor Pig to strip naked, refused to comply even at the cost of his life, but was defeated by Instructor Pig because he could not summon the water ghost, and was put in solitary confinement for a week.
"Hey, can we skip the plot? I don't want to see myself locked up naked for seven days."
But after Zero got up, he reacted in a completely different way from Chen Feng.
He looked around, first saved the game, and then summoned the XX-03-MNRS simulator system!
"I saved the file before even confirming it was safe. How could I be so careless?"
"Wait, an emulator? Holy crap?"
When people go crazy, they even become jealous of themselves.
Chen Feng couldn't help but say, "Hey, we're all Chen Fengs, why did you get to draw the simulator?"
But no one could answer Chen Feng's question.
On Zero's system interface, the emulator has already started running:
Upon waking, you find yourself locked in a dark room. A pig-headed, human-bodied monster, accompanied by four fake humans, breaks into the room and threatens you to take off your clothes.
The plot remains unchanged.
[You were enraged and summoned your Stand, Silver Chariot, to kill Pigface with a single sword strike.]
Chen Feng recalled his experience of being brutally beaten by Pig Face, and tears streamed down his face.
"substitute?"
"Wow, am I that good?"
Stands are superpowers in the anime "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure". Simply put, it is the ability to use mental power to create a powerful guardian spirit.
The Stand Guardian Spirit has two settings:
First, a stunt double cannot be seen by ordinary people who do not have a stunt double.
Secondly, each guardian spirit will have a special ability.
But the silver tank used by Zero is an exception.
The silver chariot is disguised as a medieval knight in full armor wielding a rapier, but is a useless, blank-slate stand-in with no abilities.
"I have read JoJo's Bizarre Adventure."
"But why switch to a blank Stand like Silver Chariot? Wouldn't it be better to have the invincible Miracle and you, Star Platinum who can stop time, and Killer Queen who can turn back time?"
After a moment's thought, Chen Feng roughly guessed it.
Most Stand systems are not from the 03 series, but from the 02 series, so it's probably because Zero couldn't afford it, or he didn't unlock it.
But even with the Silver Chariot, it's still far superior to the Water Ghost.
Chen Feng guessed that the system Zero had must be completely different from his.
The emulator is still running at this time.
You left the dark room.
You discover a large number of fake people and students practicing martial arts in the square, and out of caution, you hide.
You discovered the goat-headed monster, summoned a clone, and killed it with a sneak attack.
It's too yin.
Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh, "The idea of a stand-in that others can't see is just too overpowered."
Of course, it's not without its drawbacks; if the main body is stolen, then everything is over.
That's probably why Zero was caught here.
Chen Feng continued reading:
You have received a reward from the Demon Slayer System.
Your silver chariot's destructive power has been upgraded from C to B.
what?
Chen Feng had never seen anything so insidious.
If things happen in the simulator, it counts as completing the task, so wouldn't that mean you can become stronger just by lying down?
What's even more impressive is that Zero actually got the Demon-Slaying and Monster-Extermination skill so early on, so he can just go around killing monsters like crazy.
"Brother, please, can I borrow your account to play for a couple of days?"
then.
You left the academy, discovered the convenience store owner's identity, and made a phone call.
[A man claiming to be Hu Qing, a security officer, led you to the security bureau.]
You found the ultimate ghost-catching system at the police station.
Holy crap? So some veterans have escaped the newbie village before!
Chen Feng had previously considered that other systems would need to meet two conditions to clear the Happiness Internet Cafe level:
First, they are able to realize that Happiness Internet Cafe has a boss that must be eliminated.
If it's a task system like a daily check-in or a "great philanthropist" system where you only realize there's a boss, you might leave the Happy Internet Cafe in order to develop your character stealthily, and end up dying in your dream.
Only those who realize that the landlady is problematic and must be killed have a chance to survive.
But this is not enough.
The second rule is that you must have the ability to kill the landlady before going to sleep.
This one is the most difficult.
Most systems require development and it's difficult to gain enough combat power, but the boss lady has mechanics, stats, and can revive, plus two elite monsters, making her really hard to kill.
But the ghost-catching system happens to meet both of these requirements.
When the ghost-catching system is actively running, it can view data and skills, even if the other party is not a ghost.
If the senior had obtained the undamaged version of the ghost-catching system, he would have been able to see that the landlady had the Nightmare skill, thus knowing that the place was dangerous and that he had to kill the landlady.
Then the water ghost provided the fighting power.
The 1.0 version of the ghost-catching system required defeating and fulfilling wishes, but the advanced version of the ghost-catching system might be like Pokémon GO or the Gouki in the anime, where you can catch them by throwing a ball.
"This senior must have completely dominated the Happy Internet Cafe instance, but he ended up getting caught by the police."
"Zero needed to collect systems from other places, but I found all the systems on the third floor of Happiness Internet Cafe. It seems he helped me a lot."
"There's another detail: the female boss was killed, but Zero was still caught in the internet cafe. Does this mean that the time point of each transmigrator's journey is fixed?"
During Chen Feng's brainstorming session.
The emulator has also come to an end:
A man in a yellow training uniform came to the police station.
That's it!
Chen Feng knew what would happen next without even looking:
You find your mouth moving uncontrollably, saying, "I am deeply sinful, my actions are unjust, my deeds are unkind."
"The end of the world, the end of everything, the end of the world is coming. As sinners, we can only reach heaven by burning away all our sins in the presence of the holy bull."
You were burned to death.
[This simulation has ended]
You can choose one of the following options to keep.
[An item obtained in this simulation]
[One interpersonal relationship in this simulation]
[One ability/cultivation level gained in this simulation]
[Abandon all simulation gains and get another chance to start the simulation (this will consume points)]
"The simulator truly lives up to its reputation as one of the strongest systems; it not only provides intelligence but also preserves the cultivation points gained."
"Sigh, compared to my other self, all my check-in systems, chat groups, and activation codes are utter garbage!"
Just when Chen Feng forgot his roots.
With a whoosh.
Zero is on fire.
Chen Feng's expression immediately changed: "Never mind what I said."
"As expected, while the simulator is awesome, it's far from invincible in Cihang City."
I saw Zero crash.
Chen Feng was very curious. At this time, he did not have the Cyber Ascension System, so how could he deal with memory contamination?
The scene then changes.
Suddenly, I found myself back on the third floor of the Happiness Internet Cafe, in a room filled with human skin.
"What the hell?" Chen Feng thought he was seeing things. "Wasn't Zero a save file? Why can we load a second save file?"
But soon, Chen Feng discovered the answer:
[Save/Load System 5.0]
"Your mom... no, his mom is also my mom, she has to be healthy."
Chen Feng swallowed his curses, but his anger flared up.
"It's five versions higher than before. It turns out that all the predecessors were Trisolarans with version 5.0, while I'm just a primitive."
According to Chen Feng's observation.
Compared to the 2.0 version he had.
Version 5.0's save/load function allows you to load any save file at will.
It also has five save slots.
The number of entries that can be retained has also been reduced to three.
Furthermore, the probability of encountering rare terms has increased significantly.
Just like now, the memory curse that Chen Feng risked his life to break was easily neutralized by Zero using the save/load system:
[The host has obtained a purple keyword.]
Use Flame Punch on him: You are now immune to fire damage, but not to pain.
In an instant, due to the curse of memories, flames ignited on Zero's body.
He had to endure the burning sensation every moment, but apart from a little sweat on his face, Zero seemed perfectly fine.
Chen Feng was stunned: "I'm a real man."
Skip to a section for a routine system review.
A distorted, tearing sound rang out, and a cloud of black mist appeared from the void.
Chen Feng knew.
These are the lord's hunting dogs.
Zero didn't hesitate and immediately summoned his Stand, but the next second, the Stand was destroyed.
"Able to harm a spiritual entity?"
Chen Feng's eyes widened. Zero was even stronger than when he left the mental hospital, but he couldn't even withstand a single move from the Hound before being killed.
"It seems like I'm not guaranteed to win now."
Chen Feng thought to himself.
The scene suddenly changed, and they found themselves in a small dark room.
"I've read the third file."
"As expected of Lao Tzu, he's incredibly clever."
"Just once, I realized that I didn't encounter the black mist in the dark room last time, so the third save file is safe and I can avoid being hunted down."
Before Chen Feng could finish praising, a cloud of black mist appeared in front of Zero.
Deng Deng Deng!
Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat.
"Bro, I suddenly have a stomachache. You can keep this account yourself."
