Chapter 151 is all about playing from behind.
Microwave ovens cannot be used because of the citywide power outage.
She Qingqing took a portable gas stove from the appliance section of the supermarket, installed a butane gas canister, set up a pot, poured in mineral water, turned the flame to the highest setting, and began to happily cook canned goods.
The husky wagged its tail and came over, asking, "Sister Qingqing, what's this delicious treat?"
She Qingqing said indulgently, "It's canned meat that your older brother brought. I'll scoop out more for you later."
Upon hearing this, the husky's mouth watered: "Really?! Thank you, Sister Qingqing!"
After a while.
The husky was getting impatient: "Sister Qingqing, can we eat now?"
She Qingqing didn't know how long the canned food would need to be heated, so she could only tell Erha to wait a moment: "Your older brother said it needs to be cooked."
"They've been cooking it over high heat for so long, it must be cooked through!"
The husky couldn't wait and reached for the can with one paw.
Then, with a bang.
exploded.
A flash of light sent the husky tumbling head over heels.
When the husky opened its eyes again, the iron pot on the stove had been blown to the ground, and shards of canned food were scattered everywhere. Its fur was also on fire, turning into a black, charred mess.
"Where's the meat?"
Dogs forget how badly they've been beaten; even after being beaten so badly, the husky still couldn't stop thinking about food.
She Qingqing exclaimed in surprise, "Behind you!"
The husky turned its head and found that a heavily armored blue arthropod monster had appeared behind it.
"You mean, that canned food beat you up and ran away?" Looking at the snake girl slumped on the ground and the boy covered in blood, Chen Feng couldn't help but slap his forehead: "What happened to the delicious food you were promised?"
Chen Feng was unaware that the system assesses a host's strength.
In front of Chen Feng, who is a street-smart powerhouse, you can call Ant Cow canned food and he won't complain. But in front of ordinary people, what should you call a monster that can survive in a vacuum, survive being roasted for half a day, and grow at the speed of light?
Alien!
"With that thing gone, Cihang City is even more lively now."
Chen Feng wasn't too nervous, since all he had to do was reopen the can and the food would be back.
He didn't believe that a magical girl could rewind time, but surely a can of food couldn't rewind time, could it?
After the little incident...
Chen Feng continued to look at the remaining two tasks for showing off and getting slapped in the face:
[Murder and Robbery: Junior, abandon your chance! This task requires the Dragon King to steal a treasure. The more valuable the treasure, the more difficult the robbery, and the more despicable the victim, the higher the score.]
"Oh, you're too late."
Chen Feng sighed.
If you had drawn this mission earlier, obtaining the Myriad Soul Banner would have been the greatest maneuver, guaranteeing a perfect score.
The last task was titled "The Boss Leaves the Team".
[This task requires the Dragon King to join a team or faction, work diligently behind the scenes to make the team a top force, and then be kicked out of the team by his teammates. The greater the decline of the team after leaving the host, the higher the score.]
[Tip: Showing off and then backfiring should be natural and seamless; it cannot be faked.]
Simply put, Chen Feng is not allowed to slack off or act pretentious; otherwise, he will be kicked out of the team.
"This is way too difficult."
Chen Feng suddenly realized that it wasn't easy for the Dragon King to show off.
"What idiot would kick out a senior member of the team?"
"Unless I reduce the IQ of the entire world by a hundred times, I won't change the system myself."
After a moment of thought, Chen Feng suddenly remembered the gourmet system that had been gathering dust in the corner.
"I haven't selected the food system since I got it."
"Perhaps it's time to bring it out of the mountains."
After studying the task system, it's time for evaluation.
The identification system can be described as an enhanced combat capability detector, with only two functions.
Passive ability: Any enemy who fights Chen Feng will have their strength level revealed.
Active function: Consumes one point to view all information about a unit (requires face-to-face interaction).
Of course, like all 03 series, the first time is free.
"Looks so useless."
"But my gut feeling tells me that things aren't that simple."
Based on the information obtained from the daily intelligence reports, the transmigrator is a key figure sent by two gods to resist the apocalypse, so it is impossible for them to give him a completely useless system and send him to his death.
Chen Feng had five candidates in mind for the evaluation.
The Great Demon Lord, Cihang, himself, and She Qingqing.
First of all, as the final bosses, the great demons and lords, needless to say, knowing all their information is like having a strategy guide, which can save you from dying many times.
Similarly, Chen Feng wanted to know why the system and the Five Monsters both said that Cihang was good, but saving Cihang was a mission to destroy the world.
The purpose of examining Chen Feng himself was to see if Cihang had planted any hidden tricks within him.
The last chat group incident really scared Chen Feng.
As for She Qingqing...
Although on the surface, this silly girl seems to have no problem.
However, given that the average number of monsters in Cihang City is 800, the fact that this girl has a negative number of monsters is highly suspicious.
What's even more suspicious is that She Qingqing has lived in that dilapidated temple in Cihang since she can remember. The fox spirit she lived with was the earliest original shareholder of Cihang, Lady Red Fox. There's no reason why She Qingqing wasn't corrupted.
Is it too weak?
Despite his doubts, Chen Feng did not send She Qingqing away, because in the escort system's employee list, She Qingqing, like Erha and Laolang, was listed as free, meaning she was one of his own who did not require payment for employment.
Moreover, She Qingqing has a history of being killed by a water ghost and being captured by a fake person and imprisoned in a mental hospital. Are the people of Cihang really that bad?
"Looking back now, Qingqing didn't want to stay on her own initiative. I tricked her into coming back by telling her about the haunted temple. I was probably overthinking it."
"Now there are only four people left. As for which one to choose, we'll just have to improvise."
Given Chen Feng's personality, he wouldn't spend points to appraise everyone.
When he was a game streamer, Chen Feng was a hoarder, meaning he was particularly keen on accumulating important in-game resources, much like a hamster.
For example, when playing mobile games, you can accumulate a lot of Originium or Primal Stones.
For example, when playing adventure single-player games, he doesn't dare to use any of the one-time combat items, such as super recovery potions or thunder eggs, from fighting bosses to completing the game.
There's no particular reason.
I'm just terrified of being poor.
After everything was sorted out, Chen Feng decided to do the same as last time: have everyone stay behind, and take Old Wolf with him, heading straight for the North Mountain area where the warriors were located.
Beishan District is the furthest from PEACD and not close to Cihang Mountain on the outskirts of the city. It is a place that neither side can reach, making it convenient for Chen Feng to move Happiness Internet Cafe there.
Moreover, if the samurai's divine weapon, the demon sword, could be seized in advance, it might be possible to complete the mission of killing and stealing treasure.
On the road.
Chen Feng casually rescued a passerby from the mouth of a monster and took the person's phone as a reward.
Opening the map app on his phone, Chen Feng guessed from the name that the samurai was probably training at a dojo in the Beishan District, even though he had never met him before.
Combined with what I saw when I activated the secret manual last time, I realized that Cihang had sent people there.
Chen Feng quickly identified a dojo called "Da Ri".
Of course, simply locking onto the location wasn't enough. At this point, the phone had no signal, so the map could only be viewed and not located in real time. Therefore, after arriving in the North Mountain area, Chen Feng activated his divine sense.
"I haven't used my divine sense since the red mist filled the air a year ago, and I really miss it."
"Found it!"
Chen Feng ran off, but before he arrived, he heard a heart-wrenching cry for help.
"Help me!"
Please!
Chen Feng scanned it with his divine sense.
Beneath the black lacquered plaque bearing the words "Great Sun" lay a broken beechwood floor, a sword rack scattered on the ground, and the corpses of several sword-wielding warriors.
A dozen or so terrified samurai were fleeing.
Behind them was a blood-red, chitinous centipede monster, about 30 meters long, covered in a blood-red chitinous carapace.
A scream of agony rang out.
A samurai was bitten, and his body was instantly melted by the corrosive liquid in its mouth.
Then, another warrior was pierced through by the mandibles on the centipede monster's head, along with his armor.
Chen Feng squinted, sensing something was amiss.
The fact that the flesh-and-blood centipede monster wasn't killed proves that the samurai and the magical girl are different; they are not beings capable of sensing time reversal.
But why aren't Cihang's lackeys here?
As soon as Chen Feng approached the centipede monster, a notification from the appraisal system appeared:
[Superb building-level power]
what?
Chen Feng was slightly taken aback. Such a high level?
He remembered that in the early stages of Cihang's Gu-raising, the fleshy monsters that first appeared were just small things that ordinary people could handle. It wasn't until a year later that large monsters of the scale of destroying buildings and streets would appear.
"Dude, aren't you a bit ahead of the game?"
"No wonder Cihang's lackeys didn't come; you probably ate them all last time."
Chen Feng looked up at the centipede monster, and suddenly his expression changed.
There's something wrong with my consciousness.
Just now, Chen Feng felt that the range of his divine sense was decreasing rapidly. This feeling was like constantly throwing muddy mud into a clear pool of water.
There are fleshy monsters spreading red mist, and there are a great many of them.
"Holy crap!"
Chen Feng suddenly realized.
The Great Demon was in charge of formations among the Five Monsters. Whether it was the barrier formation that sealed off the entire Cihang City or the sealing formation of Cihang Bodhisattva, they were all his creations.
However, the barrier needs magical power to maintain it.
Now that the Queen Mother's supplies are gone, the great demon will naturally concentrate all its power on the sealing array.
This would naturally loosen the barrier array of Cihang City, allowing some flesh and blood creatures to enter.
Daily intelligence reports that the area outside Cihang City has been destroyed, marking the end of the world.
What about these flesh and blood creatures?
"So it's a monster that can exist across different timelines?"
"I knew something capable of causing the fall of the God of Time and Space couldn't possibly lack an anti-backtracking mechanism!"
Chen Feng felt a wave of fear wash over him.
When most people get a save/load system, their subconscious thought is that they should live longer and make the most of the save/load time to gather information.
But now that I think about it, after the beef noodles were eaten...
Cihang Bodhisattva has begun the countdown to the lifting of the lockdown.
Every time Chen Feng delayed, it was like adding a handful of soil to bury himself.
"So even if I went back in time to before my mother died, it wouldn't have made any difference."
"The sudden appearance of flesh and blood creatures is enough to forcibly bring Cihang City into the era of Gu breeding."
Chen Feng suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe.
Cihang, that's too sinister.
But Chen Feng didn't know that.
At station number 8, platform July 15.
The Ghost King suddenly coughed and said, "Little sister, what's wrong? Why am I suddenly so weak? I can't even sense my eight soul weapons anymore."
Niu Mian also coughed up blood, saying, "Why are more than nine thousand of my clones missing?"
Future Yuanjun Yindiya opened her third eye and explained, "The time traveler used time reversal. Now it's right after we fought the great demon. Reincarnation King, all eight of your soul weapons have been sealed, and the Yellow-Clad Cult Leader's clones have all been crushed."
The Ghost King suddenly realized: "Oh! Then what about the memories I just dreamed about, the memories of unsealing the Bodhisattva?"
India said, "That happened a year later. In the future, we will have almost worn down the great demon's power and will soon be able to rescue the Bodhisattva."
Niu Mian exclaimed excitedly, "As expected, victory will always belong to us!"
The Ghost King chimed in, "Sister, are you feeling uncomfortable? Let's quickly unseal the Bodhisattva!"
India shook her head: "Wrong, you've forgotten that the great demon in this timeline is still at its peak."
Niu Mian was dumbfounded: "What? We've already worn down the great demon, and now we have to start all over again?"
The Ghost King couldn't help but curse, "That damned demon is really annoying!"
India was also helpless.
This demon is too sinister!
But Cihang Sect doesn't know.
At this moment, at the Zootopia.
The great demon scanned Cihang City with its divine sense, frowning as it watched the ever-appearing red mist. "Damn it! Damn it! How could so many flesh-and-blood monsters have been let in all at once? Has the apocalypse outside really reached this level after thousands of years?"
In the mind of the great demon, even if there is a loophole in the barrier, at most some weak flesh and blood monsters will be allowed to enter.
I thought this kind of terrible situation wouldn't happen for at least a year.
How come in just one day, the entire Cihang City is shrouded in red mist, and nothing can be seen?
Just as the great demon was about to withdraw his divine sense, a terrifying aura from the West Mountain area caught his attention.
"Oh no! Oh no! That glimpse of black mud just now...could it be the Abyss?"
The great demon recalled what the lord had said to everyone during a meeting at the old mansion: "In Cihang City, there is only one person who can shelter you from the wind and rain, and that is me, not you!"
At the time, the great demon thought the lord was just boasting.
But now it seems that if it weren't for the lord's constant protection, they would probably have already failed.
"It has only been a year since the lord's dog was killed and my Ten Thousand Souls Banner exploded."
"In such a short time, Cihang City, which we have planned for thousands of years, has been transformed into this."
"Time travelers, how despicable! How despicable!"
The greater the demon became, the angrier he got, wishing he could find Chen Feng and tear him to pieces.
The time traveler is too sinister.
Back in the northern mountain area.
Facing the charging, fleshy centipede monster.
Chen Feng drew the Eternal Sword from the system space, about to unleash a powerful move, but suddenly his sense of control became very unfamiliar, and he had forgotten how to use the Qingfeng Subduing Demon Sword.
"Oh no, my touch is off!"
Chen Feng then remembered.
Loading a save file only preserves what the system has saved.
Any cultivation technique that one achieves through their own efforts cannot be kept secret.
At this moment, accompanied by the chirping of insects.
The centipede monster had already rushed in front of Chen Feng.
Just when the samurai thought this passerby was doomed.
Chen Feng easily blew the centipede monster apart with one punch: "Dude, although you're very strong in this version, I'm a veteran player of Cihang 1.0."
