Chapter 1586: Chapter 313: If You Would Replace Him

No matter what she had done, some things had to be faced… The true dragon of China was merely embarrassed, not afraid. So after she calmed down, she immediately asked the lady with butterfly wings to help reboot the computer.

“It won’t restart.”

“Why can’t it restart? Don’t fool me! I know if the computer has a problem, rebooting can solve it!”

Though not entirely sure how much knowledge Sister Long had about computers, Luo Pianqian couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, “You’ve smashed the mainframe, even a restart can’t fix it!”

The true dragon of China then recalled what had just happened… It seemed she really used a bit of force impulsively!

Of course, this bit of force didn’t end up causing much damage, considering the city was still under a magic ban—even as a true dragon, even in a magic ban, her power was still shockingly strong.

Long Xiruo suddenly grabbed Luo Pianqian’s hand and without a word said, “Quick! Let’s go to the computer city!”

“Now?” The lady with butterfly wings couldn’t help but be stunned.

The true dragon of China suddenly sat down, frowned, and said, “Better to have the old fool send it over… This game seems to require a special computer to play.”

Without waiting for Luo Pianqian to react, Long Xiruo picked up the phone and dialed the old fool temporarily staying at the newly opened Peace Grand Hotel in the suburbs—the Guardian of the Management Bureau, hailed as the Unparalleled National Scholar, the Fiery Cloud Evil God.

Regarding how the Fiery Cloud Evil God, who was troubled by other matters, reacted to the true dragon of China’s request, well, that was unknown.

Just like… The Chosen Ones in the world of Emerald Fantasy also didn’t know what was happening in the real world outside.

They probably didn’t have the time or interest to know these things.

…

In the monster’s nest, Boss Luo looked at the motionless player character “Your Man Doesn’t Want You Anymore!”, shaking his head with a feeling of bemusement.

He walked to the side of “Your Man Doesn’t Want You Anymore!”, gazing at the randomly generated face of the game system.

Boss Luo suddenly chuckled quietly, “Not being able to truly see you is indeed a bit of a regret.”

Speaking those words in anger, her inner turmoil must have been overwhelming, one could even imagine her expression would be as vividly fiery as a sunset.

She was like a raging fire, every moment, the brilliance and heat were so intense, making one want to embrace and hold tightly… Boss Luo reached out, as if trying to grasp a flame, gently holding onto it.

In that grip, “Your Man Doesn’t Want You Anymore!” suddenly shattered and disappeared—character logged off, naturally disappearing, as she was not The Chosen One, nor would she ever be.

Will there be a day in the future when this flickering soul fire extinguishes in my palm?

Luo Qiu closed his eyes, pondering if that day comes, whether he would be happy or feel something else—just then, in the darkness, a figure was silently approaching.

Like a shadow, the figure stealthily came close, suddenly accelerating, a glint of cold light pierced towards him.

Luo Qiu turned, at the moment the cold light pierced, a barrier instantly formed outside his body, blocking the attack outside the barrier… The attacker was shocked, but revealed his face.

This attacker was surprisingly the one who Qianxiu initially attacked, hidden behind the tree root, and then escaped.

The attacker, failing in his strike, showed a surprised look, and in the next moment quickly moved along the shadows, intending to dive into the maze-like passageways of the monster’s nest.

“King Serpent.” Boss Luo suddenly said.

The body of the attacker, about to flee, suddenly stiffened, halted in his tracks, and slowly, cautiously turned around to face Luo Qiu.

“What did you say?” The attacker frowned at this moment.

Boss Luo smiled slightly and said, “Your time should be limited, right? You’ve finally got such an opportunity, if you use it on me, wouldn’t it be too wasteful? After all…who knows when you’ll encounter such an opportunity again.”

“Who are you?” The attacker was silent for a moment but couldn’t help feeling a bit panicked… Could it be that this Little Mage knew his true identity?

Impossible—that special item was obtained from a member of the upper echelons of nobility, involving many unspeakable things, and he considered himself extremely cautious, never revealing anything to anyone.

He quickly searched his memory but couldn’t find any information about Little Mage—he was sure he didn’t know this person… In the The Chosen Ones’ circle, there seemed to be no such person.

But this Little Mage came along with Azure Sky Sword Saint and Blue Sky Holy Maiden, his identity was mysterious, making him wary.

“My identity is unimportant.” Boss Luo shook his head, “I don’t intend to affect your lives here… Of course, if you wish to seek some assistance from me, I’d be more than happy. You have things you want to achieve but it’s too difficult, you’re not entirely confident, even now, you’re still hesitating…right.”

The attacker glanced left and right, his gaze wasn’t entirely focused on Little Mage, he was confident in his transformed state that he could retreat unharmed—he just recently retreated safely from the hands of the Great Alliance’s strongest, Azure Sky Sword Saint, which proved this well.

“Help?” The attacker sneered… He transferred the dagger from his left hand to his right hand, then reached back with his right hand, slightly bent his waist, facing Little Mage, “What kind of help can you offer me?”

“Let me see.” Boss Luo glanced at the attacker and then nonchalantly said, “You currently have two remaining Death Counts… Shortly after entering the game, you died once due to an accident. You can use one Death Count in exchange for my help, of course, two would fetch a better help effect.”

The attacker couldn’t help but take a sharp breath… Death Count, the most secretive part of each The Chosen One—even organizations like Divine Land Battle Group, other The Chosen Ones strictly guarded their own Death Count secrets.

How did the opponent know his remaining Death Count… The attacker then said in a deep voice: “Are you… new to the Management Bureau?”

That was the only explanation—but such an explanation made him even more alarmed!

If Little Mage was a member newly infiltrated into the game by the Management Bureau, then doesn’t that mean everything about him was already under their watchful eye?

They… already knew about his secret exchanges with the upper echelons of nobility?

“Don’t worry, it’s not like what you fear.” Boss Luo shook his head, “The encounter and everything said between you and me is only between us. Moreover, you’ll understand, I can achieve everything you’ve wished for in your heart… As long as you agree, you are willing, you also clearly express it.”

The heart is beating rapidly.

In a daze, the attacker seemed to return to the moment he sat in front of the computer, looking at the “yes/no” option popping up on the game interface.

Intuition… intuition told him that this is his greatest chance, the one opportunity he must not miss.

“Can you… really help me?” the attacker asked with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.

Boss Luo, relaxed and natural, smiled and said, “Of course… within the two times of death you can afford to pay for anything.”

The attacker took a step forward, his eyes filled with murderous intent, “Can you help me kill the King Serpent too?”

“One time of death.” Boss Luo extended one finger, “I can provide you with a tool that can kill the King Serpent. He possesses a tool that offsets one death, a reward obtained when conquering the Demon King’s Castle. A normal kill will not truly kill him, it will only trigger the effect of this tool.”

The attacker was immediately shocked and silently kept to himself… After the conquest of the Demon Roger, he always suspected that the King Serpent had surely gained something, but couldn’t find out.

But how does the other party know?

“Why do you know these things?”

“I know everything I want to know,” Boss Luo said calmly, “Regarding this point, you don’t need to worry… or rather, if I couldn’t know these things, how could I provide help to you.”

The attacker frowned at this moment… One time of death can buy the true kill of the King Serpent—after the King Serpent’s complete death, everything will be chosen among the few members of the Divine Land Battle Group to be inherited, of course possibly by all these few members jointly.

Perhaps he could inherit everything, or perhaps he would be rejected, becoming the one who gets nothing… or could only get a part.

But no matter which, this would be the result after he has expended one time of death… while the other few people can enjoy the benefits.

If the Management Bureau cannot designate him as the inheritor of the King Serpent, it equates to completely acting in vain for others… this clearly is a scene he does not want to see.

“What if.” He spoke again in the silence, with a fierce tone, “Two times of death?”

“With that, of course, more can be done.” Boss Luo smiled and said, “For example, allowing you to replace the King Serpent… even become the new King Serpent, you will gain everything of the King Serpent, including the life-substitute tool he wields, and even more… you will gain the respect from the members of the Divine Land Battle Group just like how they respect the King Serpent.”

He breathed, his heart racing at this moment.

Two times of death, will bring everything described by the other party… two times of death mean after using them, he will be in a state where he cannot resurrect.

No… still there is the life-substitute tool – King Serpent has one now!

Perhaps, in higher layers of exploration, he could obtain more perfect and comprehensive tools – as long as he can solidify replacing King Serpent, he will become the regiment leader of the Divine Land Battle Group, all resources will be supplied with priority!

Currently, the life-substitute tool held by the King Serpent must also be supplied as a priority by the Management Bureau!

This realization brought a sense of imbalance like a venomous serpent crazily tearing at the attacker’s heart… all the same running through life and death for the Management Bureau in this game’s Another World, why should such a tool to offset one death be supplied as priority to King Serpent?

Just because King Serpent was the earliest to enter.

“You really can, let me replace King Serpent?” The attacker’s breath accelerated more rapidly. “Even the upper echelons cannot achieve this.”

“This is a contract.” Boss Luo snapped his fingers, “You can feel it, as long as you are willing, I can make it happen for you… two times of death.”

Looking at the slowly unfolding sheepskin scroll, the attacker now seemed to see dreams and illusions… His hand trembled, inch by inch trying to reach forward.

Feeling it.

Feeling it… this omnipotent will!

“I.” The attacker took a deep breath, with a firm gaze, “Promise!”

This is his greatest desire in heart… to take the place!

…

Outside the Monster’s Nest, the three major battle groups and the Great Alliance’s Blue Sky Holy Maiden were still in fierce battle with the newly established Endless Tree Demon.

Endless Tree Demon possesses the ability to animate the entire Endless Forest Sea, its horror far exceeding the layer masters challenged and conquered in the past… even the existence of Endless Tree Demon made the The Chosen Ones of the three battle groups suspect that it might be more terrifying than the yet-to-appear final gatekeeping layer master of this large layer region.

Qian Yu Xian Rou also had this feeling.

Her occupation is quite versatile, able to use all sorts of skills, adaptable, but has only one shortcoming, which is that her attack power is hard to reach the extreme level of Qianxiu – but even without reaching Qianxiu’s extreme level, she can steadily occupy the position of the second strongest within the Alliance.

After all, she has many divine artifacts from recharge bonuses on her.

But these recharge bonus divine artifacts seem unable to break the defenses of Endless Tree Demon… at least, unable to inflict high amounts of damage, only can grind it to death with a method like water grinding stone.

“Keep it up, the layer master’s health bar is only half left.” Qian Yu Xian Rou waved her hand, releasing a large-scale motivating buff.

Those auxiliary occupation The Chosen Ones with buff skills saw this scene, and all had the impulse to kneel… Blue Sky Holy Maiden is a support occupation team that can top two entire teams!

“It’s enough.”

King Serpent retreated at this moment, most of his skills were still cooling down, he could only choose to rest now, but seeing the gradually clearer battle situation now, he couldn’t help but sigh quietly, with a smile.

Finally… able to protect everyone’s lives.
