Facing the terrifying Murder Clown, some people smashed their Holo-Brain, some were stunned, some were beating their chests, gritting their teeth, trying to think of a way to participate in the game without being discovered by the Murder Clown.
Space.
The S.W. Divine Temple.
"This guy's acting is pretty good" Jang Young-ho excitedly commented.
"That's right, I think he's enjoying the process" saying so, Liao Xing raised the bottle of liquor in his hand and gulped it down.
He loudly shouted: "A scientist's job is to study things they can't understand, but I didn't think we'd be able to beat something we can't understand to the ground"
"Don't be careless, it's only a stalemate right now" Gu Qing Shan said.
"You're being too careful, I don't think anyone else would dare to participate in this game" Liao Xing shook his head.
"I'm just afraid that this game might change again" Jang Young-ho said.
"Hm? Where is Ye Fei Li going? "Gu Qing Shan looked at the screen and asked.
Only to see that Ye Fei Li had already taken off his armor, using the bone spikes on his back to travel through the clouds.
From the looks of it, he seems to be heading somewhere.
[Mr. Ye Fei Li is currently following my evolution plan to eliminate the Man Killer Fiends] Impartial Goddess answered.
"That guy was killed by Gu Qing Shan, our little Man Killer Fiend must've been hurt" Liao Xing laughed.
"… That's fine, it's a good thing that he's a bit stronger" Gu Qing Shan said.
[Sir, can you give me that pair of boots? I'm currently researching something like that] Impartial Goddess asked.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Jang Young-ho.
"I don't need it" Jang Young-ho said.
"Alright, when Ye Fei Li returns, you can take it to research" Gu Qing Shan said.
"How extravagant, a staff, a pair of gloves, a pair of boots — — all of these prizes were given to a machine in the end" Liao Xing muttered.
[Mr. Liao, my research is very important, please believe me] Impartial Goddess said.
"Alright, alright. I don't need it anyway. Suit yourself."
Saying so, Liao Xing turned around to study his warp device.
At this point, Impartial Goddess reminded him: [Sir, it's time, the small-sized interstellar warship is ready to depart]
"Alright, we'll go now" Gu Qing Shan stood up and said.
"Jang Young-ho, come with me," he called out to him as he walked.
"Where are we going?" Jang Young-ho was stunned.
"What do you think? This is your request. "Gu Qing Shan said.
"Ah! Good! Then we should go back to take a bath, shave, and change into clean clothes. "Jang Young-ho said.
"I don't think that's necessary." Gu Qing Shan said uncertainly.
"Nonsense! This was a must! At times like this, personal image is very important. "Jang Young-ho suddenly raised his voice.
He looked a little nervous.
"What are you going to do? Go to a girl's party without an old man like me knowing? "Liao Xing immediately became cautious.
"That's not it" Gu Qing Shan patiently explained, "we're going to an international conference, personal image is very important at times like this"
"What kind of conference is it?" Liao Xing asked.
"The Genetic Modification Serum" Gu Qing Shan answered, "if we can convince every country to make the Genetic Modification Serum available, then our game system will be able to allow for Job selection"
"Injecting the corresponding Genetic Modification Serum according to the chosen Job?" Liao Xing asked.
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan answered.
Liao Xing took a deep breath and muttered: "That's more and more like a game"
"The game is only the outer shell, the real purpose is for everyone to evolve and become stronger" Gu Qing Shan said.
He continued: "There are many other ideas, but we can't eat everything in one go, so let's start with the Genetic Modification Serum"
An hour later.
Gu Qing Shan and Jang Young-ho were wearing formal attire as they walked down from the small-sized shuttle.
This was the capital.
The Freedom Federation's International Conference Center.
The Holy Empire, Fuxi Empire, and the Freedom Federation, the three biggest countries of the world, as well as representatives from many smaller countries were gathered here, ready to discuss the direction of humanity.
"You two — — -"
A few elite agents walked up, about to stop them.
Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan's image appeared on the large screen on the outside of the conference center.
Lines of text were neatly arranged next to his picture.
[Freedom Federation's Mobile Mech Technology Scientist]
[Mobile Mech Life Structure Creator]
[Mobile Mech patent holder of 37 Mobile Mech patents]
[Discoverer of the Man Eater Fiend and Man Killer Fiend viruses]
[Creator of the Man Eater Fiend and Man Eater Fiend defenses]
[Capital's National Defense University's special professor]
An electronic mechanical voice could be heard from the agents' earpieces.
The agents immediately changed their attitude and made way for them.
"Please come in" the leading agent spoke.
After the two of them walked far enough, Jang Young-ho asked in a low voice: "Impartial Goddess?"
"Hm" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Jang Young-ho sighed emotionally: "With you, Impartial Goddess, and the President's support, I can't think of anyone in the entire Federation who can stop us"
The two of them walked forward and arrived at a small reception room.
Not long after they sat down, the President came in with 4-5 of his subordinates.
"This is?" the President asked.
"My business partner, Jang Young-ho" Gu Qing Shan introduced.
Jang Young-ho hurriedly stood up and shook the President's hand.
"I know you, the kid who betrayed the Zhang family" the President looked at Jang Young-ho and laughed.
"I've made a fool of myself, I didn't know any better when I was young" Jang Young-ho said.
"What were you thinking at the time?" the President asked with interest.
"No one is born noble, the inheritance of Aristocrats shouldn't be authority, but rather the spirit of being the leader of human society" Jang Young-ho casually explained.
"Well said, no wonder you were able to become Qing Shan's business partner"
The President shook his hand with one hand, then patted his arm with the other.
Jang Young-ho was flattered.
After some small talk, they sat down.
"Qing Shan, today we're going to talk about the Genetic Modification Serum, but they're still hesitating, so I want to invite you up to discuss it and see if you can convince them" the President said.
"Very well, that's not a problem, but there's something else I want to discuss with you" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Ah? Go ahead "the President said.
"This is something that only you know" Gu Qing Shan said.
The President then dismissed his subordinates.
Gu Qing Shan put the black briefcase he brought with him on the table and opened it.
He took out a silver bracelet and gave it to the President.
"What is this?" the President asked.
"A support system for individual soldiers, combined with the Genetic Modification Serum, it can help a person quickly learn combat skills"
"It's still under development, but you can try it out first" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
10 minutes later, the President left with his subordinates.
"You're the President's illegitimate son?" Jang Young-ho hesitantly asked.
"Of course not" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"But why is he so nice to you? After seeing it, he said that he'll cooperate with you" Jang Young-ho asked.
"He has the highest authority, he knows everything that I've done — — - even what happened to Ye Fei Li" Gu Qing Shan also felt a bit uncertain.
"Perhaps with his eyes, he's able to see how this will benefit humanity in the future" he thought for a bit and said.
Other than that, there seems to be no other explanation.
Jang Young-ho muttered: "Why do I feel like he's even more impatient than you?"
At this point, the grand bell of the conference center rang.
"There's still a bit of time left, aren't we a bit early?" Jang Young-ho checked his watch and said.
Gu Qing Shan helplessly said: "You were the one who rushed here"
A knock was heard on the door.
"Please come in" Gu Qing Shan said.
A slender figure came in and quickly closed the door.
Long crimson hair, a tall and slender figure, a delicate and beautiful face.
Anna.
Anna Medici.
"I want to talk to you alone" she looked at Gu Qing Shan and said.
"Very well" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Jang Young-ho left and closed the door behind him.
"I need you to help me," Anna said straightforwardly.
"How?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I know that you're the inventor and creator of the Blazing Angel, I also know that you have a unique power, and that Impartial Goddess favors you a lot" Anna quickly said.
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
"Furthermore, I need to thank you for helping me get rid of Holy Apostle Hill"
"You're welcome, I'm more than happy to slap him to death"
Anna went silent, seemingly wanting to say something, but couldn't find the right words.
As hot-tempered as she is, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.
She scowled, feeling a bit annoyed at herself.
What the hell, I was just thinking about how to talk, but now that it's about to happen, I'm already backing down.
Gu Qing Shan silently looked at her.
— — -she's a lot more haggard than before, although she's acting tough on the outside, she can't hide the mental exhaustion she's feeling.
The girl's eyes are also no longer as clear and pure as before, now a bit more complicated and weathered.
Gu Qing Shan waited for a bit, but seeing that she still didn't say anything, he asked: "You came with the Fuxi Empire's Emperor Empress?"
"That's right" seeing him speak first, Anna sighed in relief.
"How are you doing in the Fuxi Empire?"
"I'm doing very well, with my aunt taking care of me, there won't be any problems" Anna answered.
"Really?" Gu Qing Shan stared at her and asked.
Anna went silent for a bit, then smiled bitterly: "There are a few things that aren't what I expected"
"Then how can I help you?"
Gu Qing Shan took the initiative to ask.
"I … want to restore my country" Anna lowered her head and answered.
"Isn't the Fuxi Empire preparing to go to war with the Holy Church?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Anna's expression was full of sarcasm as she answered: "I do want to restore my country, but unless it's absolutely necessary, I don't want to become Fuxi's puppet"
"Then what do you want me to do when you found me?" Gu Qing Shan asked further.
This time, Anna looked up straight at Gu Qing Shan without hesitation and mustered her courage to finish her sentence.
"I need your Mech technology, I also want to ask you to help me contact Impartial Goddess, asking her to arrange a war strategy for me according to the International Aid Act"
"You have a good relationship with the President, as well as the Federation's Martial Saint, so I need you to help me get in touch with them"
Gu Qing Shan silently listened.
Anna continued: "If you're willing to use your power to help me, I'll definitely repay you accordingly"
Feeling like she was being too casual, she added: "I swear on the Medici clan's honor, as long as I can restore my country, I'll promise you one thing, no matter what you need me to do, I'll use the entire country's power to help you"
"I know I'm not related to you, and I'm not in any position to ask for your help" Anna slowly said.
"Ever since we met, you've never owed me anything"
Saying so, she sniffled a bit, seemingly calming herself down.
"But please help me, these things are very hard for me, but if you're willing to help me, I'll at least have a sliver of hope"
"From now on, I'll definitely repay you as I promised"
Saying so, her voice carried a hint of begging.
"If … you think it's too hard …"
She wanted to act calm and say something gentlemanly, but the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything, only silently looked at her.
No, it's not that I don't owe you anything, he silently thought to himself.
I still owe you my life.
In a trance, he seemed to have returned to his past life.
The ground was littered with demon corpses.
Gu Qing Shan leaned on her sword, barely able to stand up: "Thank you for saving my life"
"Why are you here? With your cultivation level, coming here is no different from suicide "the red-haired girl spoke.
"To pick spirit herbs" he answered.
"Spirit herbs?" the girl was clearly surprised, only now did she notice the spirit herbs on the ground.
These spirit herbs can be sold for a bit of money, but for the girl, such a suicidal action was a bit unexpected.
Looking at the man, he was covered in wounds, bleeding profusely.
The girl suddenly felt like she should do something.
"Alright, you're quite a brave brat, I'm about to return anyway, come with me" she said.
"… Thank you"
Under the small campfire.
The two of them were eating while talking.
"I'm Gu Qing Shan, what's your name?"
"Hah, such a common greeting doesn't match your courage — — I'm Anna"
"Thank you for saving my life, I'll remember your name and repay you in the future"
"Repay me? What's there to repay? Just treat it as me doing it in passing. "
She waved her hand dismissively and said.
"For you, it might be something convenient, but for me, it was a chance of survival, I've never owed anyone such a big favor before"
"Ahahaha, so you're serious, what a cute brat" she looked up and laughed.
"That's not funny" Gu Qing Shan lowered her head and muttered.
Her eyes moved a bit, then suddenly asked: "Then, can you do something for me?"
He looked up: "Of course, as long as it's within my power"
"Then help me find the strongest and tastiest liquor in the world"
The girl smacked her lips and continued: "Bringing such a great liquor to me will count as you repaying me with your life"
"My life is only worth a glass of liquor from you?" he mocked himself.
"No, it has nothing to do with your life, it's because liquor is my life" the beautiful girl shook her head.
"Why?" he couldn't help but ask.
"Because only when I'm truly drunk do I feel like I'm alive" the girl's voice became low, her eyes filled with endless pain.
The scene faded away.
A few years later.
The night sky was lit up by a sea of flames.
Gu Qing Shan stood still on top of the tree, like a statue that lost its soul.
As he looked at the flickering flames, he knew that he was too late.
In his hand, there was a tightly sealed wine bottle.
Inside the bottle was the spirit liquor that he painstakingly brewed. Even many master spirit cooks of the cultivation world praised it after tasting it.
After 5 years, he finally fulfilled her request.
He came to find her full of confidence.
But the spirit energy wave from afar clearly told him that her surging vitality had been completely burned away.
The burning flames were extinguished.
There was a deathly silence in all four directions. The hot current that was blowing against his face turned into a cold wind and whistled away.
The sky was once again shrouded in darkness.
The warm light that he could have hoped for disappeared at this moment. The world could no longer track her.
"Why does someone like you have to die …"
He muttered and suddenly let go.
