"I'm finally back."
Fangzheng gave a long stretch after returning to the snow-covered cabin in the forest. Beside him, Nimfu yawned as well, feeling as if she had finally returned home after a long journey to celebrate the new year.
"It's more comfortable here, Master."
"Yeah, that's what I thought too."
It wasn't that Fangzheng had anything against the Zergs, but those darn obsessive-compulsive patients who would die if they didn't lay out a blanket of Creep had nearly covered the entire planet. Frankly speaking, it was fun to look at it once or twice, but it would be torture if he had to look at the same scenery every day. Thanks to the Zerg's "hard work", planet Char no longer had its former blue sky and white clouds. Instead, it was a sea of bright red. Apart from the trees and rivers that were spared, everywhere else was covered in Creep and Zerg buildings ….
Honestly speaking, Fangzheng felt like he was watching the Song of Saya. Staying in this place for too long would drive him crazy. As expected, even though his body had been modified, his sense of beauty was still at the level of an ordinary human. He couldn't fall to the level of the Zerg.
Nimf obviously felt the same. She preferred cute little animals and blue skies and white clouds. She didn't have a good impression of the Zerg's large-scale ecological disaster.
But forget it. It was a matter of that world anyway.
"Anyway, let's take a break first."
As he spoke, Fangzheng snapped his fingers. Soon, the air in front of him began to distort before transforming into an invisible servant who began to sweep the chairs and beds diligently. Although they had been away from this world for more than ten days, perhaps it was because of the heavy snow that sealed the mountain, the place wasn't that dirty. All they needed to do was to clean it.
As for Nimufu, she sat to the side and continued teasing the adorable kitten. As for Fangzheng, he sat down on a chair and opened his Dimensional Codex. He began inspecting his gains.
First, there was a different image.
After Fangzheng opened the Dimensional Codex, the heavy tome automatically flipped open. Shortly after, a scarlet planet emerged in the form of a shadow, rotating like a 3D projection. This was Char in the world of Predator. After becoming a free world, it was no longer a world dungeon and appeared in front of Fangzheng in this special way.
This also meant that Fangzheng would be able to enter and exit this world at will, just like how he had entered the 'Heart, Skill and Body' instance dungeons. However, just like the Freedom Dungeon, no matter how long Fangzheng stayed in the Predator World, he would not return to this world for more than five minutes.
But it wasn't without its benefits.
At the very least, Fangzheng could now wander around the Iron and Blood World. He could even buy some simple and convenient food to eat in the wild. Of course, Fangzheng did not forget to remind the Zerg to stay away from the solar system. Anyway, according to the development speed of the humans in that world, they would not be able to leave the solar system within 50 years. After that … .it would depend on their luck, or whether the Zerg would spare them a way out.
Fangzheng also wanted to see how the humans in this world would feel once they desperately ran out of the solar system, only to find out that they were being kept in captivity by the Zerg.
But that was probably a matter for a long time in the future.
After completing the 'Homeland' mission, Fangzheng received two rewards.
One was the fixed skill [Heart of the Swarm], and the other was an inherent skill called [Dimensional Channel].
[Dimensional Channel] was a special summoning skill. It could even be said that this skill was used in conjunction with the [Free World]. As long as Fangzheng used [Dimensional Channel], he could summon his servants in the free world. The advantage of this skill was that it did not take up the space of a soul stone or summoning stone, but the disadvantage was that it had an upper limit.
That's right, the [Dimensional Channel] that Fangzheng possessed was currently at level E, with an upper limit of 100 points. Fangzheng did not know how this number came about, but after trying it out, he gained some understanding. For example, creatures like Xenomorphs and Zerglings, summoning one cost 1 point, Hydralisks and Cockroaches cost 10 points, Wyverns and Lurkers cost 30 points, and Thunderbeasts cost 50 points. As for Leviathan ….. he could not summon it at all.
In other words, with the help of [Dimensional Channel], Fangzheng could at most summon 100 Zerglings or Xenomorphs, 10 Hydralisks or Cockroaches, 3 Wyverns or 2 Thunderbeasts …. In short, it seemed useless at the moment.
After all, the Origin World was not like the Predator World. There were many strong people here who could tear apart Thunderbeasts with their bare hands. If the Zerg did not number in the hundreds of thousands, they would not even think about dominating the Origin World.
Fortunately, the Predator World was a scientific world. Everything was scientific, unlike the situation in the main world. Otherwise … who knew what would have happened.
On the other hand, [Heart of the Swarm] was a pleasant surprise for Fangzheng.
One had to know that when Heart of Bug Swarm was on Kerrigan's soul stone, Fangzheng didn't feel that the skill was that powerful. At most, it could lead a swarm of bugs and communicate with them.
But when the [Dimensional Codex] solidified this skill on Fangzheng, he finally felt the power of [Heart of the Swarm].
Or rather, the moment Fangzheng obtained the inherent skill [Heart of the Swarm], he truly understood why Kerrigan would always say "I am the Zerg".
Because, I am the Zerg.
Even now, it was a very strange feeling. Fangzheng felt that there were countless Zerg in the depths of his soul. They were like his subjects, his subordinates and actors. But there was something different about it. It was as if wherever Fangzheng looked, the Zerg would also move their gazes and pay attention to him. To make an inappropriate analogy, Fangzheng was like a conductor. Wherever he waved his baton and pointed, tens of thousands of Zerg would look in that direction with him.
It was a magical feeling, because during this process, the Zerg were not puppets like Fangzheng thought. On the contrary, they had their own thoughts, which appeared in Fangzheng's mind like a group of people whispering behind him. For example, if Fangzheng looked at a rabbit, the Zerg would also stare at it, and all kinds of communication would occur. For example, the rabbit looked delicious, or the rabbit looked weak, so how to hunt it more efficiently ….
Of course, this would not affect Fangzheng's judgment. In fact, only when Fangzheng was willing to listen would he be able to hear the Zerg's communication. It was like a person who had to concentrate extremely hard to hear tiny sounds that were usually almost inaudible, so it would not affect his daily life.
But that was not the important thing, it was …. Fangzheng's mind was tightly connected with the Zerg.
One was ten thousand, and ten thousand was one.
Of course, this ability did not seem to have any special effect, but Fangzheng knew very well that it might be able to solve a problem that he had been worried about for a long time.
And that was the mental manipulation of the Enchanting School!
After learning magic, Fangzheng also understood the casting principles of the Enchanting School and the Illusionary School. The power of the Enchanting School was to act on a person's mental level and interfere with it. Although people with a strong mind could resist these spells, the premise of having a strong mind was very vague. No one could be sure that they would be able to resist mental attacks.
Because everyone's mind was independent, when faced with mental attacks, there was basically no possibility for them to get rid of the mental influence on their own, unless they were suddenly encouraged by someone who was originally dead.
But Fangzheng was different.
If any Enchanter wanted to attack him now, the other party would not only need to control Fangzheng's mind alone, but also the minds of the millions of Zerg connected to Fangzheng! And this was only for now. As the Zerg continued to expand, the number of Zerg connected to the Heart of the Swarm in the future …. Even billions would not be enough.
Even if he could succeed, the number alone would probably tire the other party to death.
From a certain point of view, he had obtained a buff that was immune to mental manipulation.
But what should he do next?
With that thought in mind, Fangzheng could not help but glance at Nimf, who was playing with the kitten.
He had finally cut off his connection with the Holy Cathedral, but it was not a good idea to keep hiding in this godforsaken place. He always needed power, money and territory. There was no future for him to become a bandit or something like that. Occupying a mountain and becoming a king would only attract more trouble.
More importantly, in order to avoid being searched by the Holy Cathedral, Fangzheng had a lot of Soul Stones that he could not use.
Kerrigan, needless to say, could not use them. The same applied to Masaier. The Holy Cathedral was currently busy looking for him. They had probably studied the process of Masaier's descent over and over again. He had no intention of releasing any expansion packs, nor did he intend to create a hell on earth by massacring the city, so Masaier naturally could not be used.
Similarly, Arthas also needed to be sealed.
As for magic …. Fangzheng could indeed go on an adventure as a Mage, or join some mercenary group to disguise himself as a pig to eat tigers, but he gave up on that idea after some thought. Fina had warned him before that the spells released by Mages all had their own unique aura. If someone chased after him, he would be in big trouble.
Well, I can't use my trump card, and it's not time to spend money on summoning yet, so all that's left is ….
Looking at the Soul Stone in his hand, Fangzheng thought for a moment and came up with a good idea.
