304: burst

"Are there humans or other creatures in this city?"

Ye Su asked curiously.

"Not sure."

Lu Yiyi replied;

"Maybe humans, maybe illusions, maybe alien life—all are possible."

"But one thing is certain: if we are killed, we're really dead."

Even after exploring the Calamity Chaos for so many years,

no one can truly say whether those living in these worlds within the Calamity Chaos are humans or something else.

It's more like a game world.

Once you enter, your whole being becomes gamified.

You can also be killed by the data within the game.

A very novel experience.

The Calamity Chaos is truly bizarre.

"Don't worry too much about it; maybe what we see tomorrow will be a different life form."

Lu Yiyi said.

Oh.

A game refresh, huh.

"So what are you going to do now?"

"Go to the government office and buy an identity to make it easier to move around."

"Aren't you worried this city will be refreshed away tomorrow?"

"If it's refreshed, I'll just buy another one. You can't control the stability of the Calamity Chaos; you can only pray for good luck."

I basically understand.

Just like starting a game.

Buy an identity for easier movement.

Without one, you can't take a single step.

The two of them walked toward the government office in the city.

Suddenly,

the street ahead was quickly cleared.

A group of people wearing special uniforms were acting like street-clearing bullies.

On their uniforms, there seemed to be a razor embroidered— "Oh no, this city—"

Lu Yiyi frowned.

The cataclysm world randomly spawns all sorts of special cities.

There are always some worlds that leave a deep impression.

For example...

A city where the government task force has razor patterns engraved on them.

"Quick, get out of the way."

Lu Yiyi said.

Hearing this, Ye Su also moved to avoid them.

But— "Hey you, yes, you!"

A voice came from a distance.

That government team, similar to constables, rushed straight over.

The leader had an arrogant face, his short body standing bolt upright, his finger almost touching Ye Su's nose.

"Damn, why are you so tall? How did you grow like that?"

The man cursed;

"In our city, no one is this tall."

"So, you must be a Bizarre Creature!"

After saying that, he spoke to the constables behind him;

"What do you guys say, brothers?"

"I agree!"

"I also agree!"

Ye Su was completely dumbfounded.

Wait.

Is being tall a crime?

Don't you government constables know how to catch Bizarre Creatures?

Just...

Just fucking rely on voting?

Shit!

This is too damn ridiculous!

Ye Su felt like he was being targeted like a Japanese soldier in a period drama.

Before he could even speak,

a huge accusation was thrown at him.

"Bizarre Creatures should be beheaded. Stand still and let this master test your mettle!"

The long saber was drawn.

It looked like he was about to chop off Ye Su's head.

Ye Su looked at Lu Yiyi.

His eyes asking what to do.

Lu Yiyi was quick to react, pulling out a handful of gold and stuffing it into the leader's arms.

"Sir, we're from a merchant caravan, just here to see if there's any business. Please, show some mercy."

The constable saw the gold.

He immediately lowered his saber, tucked the money away, and patted Ye Su's shoulder with a grin;

"Brother, being so tall, you must be exceptionally gifted!"

"Business is business, just don't cause any trouble."

As for being a Bizarre Creature?

What Bizarre Creature!

Must have misseen.

Having taken the money, these guys continued to swagger around as street-clearing bullies.

Ye Su and Lu Yiyi looked at each other.

"This world is even more ridiculous than the Universe..."

"It's okay. After all, I have experience and know how to avoid them. I just don't know if it'll be easy to buy an identity at the government office."

"What do you mean?"

"Cities with this razor emblem are very extreme. Sometimes they're incredibly corrupt, and other times they're incredibly upright. It's very strange."

After saying that,

Lu Yiyi let out a long breath.

They continued toward the government office.

Just as they reached the entrance,

the two of them stopped in their tracks.

The sentry at the government office entrance looked quite special.

Dark green uniform, standing straight as a pine tree.

Ye Su's gaze narrowed.

This...

This feeling was too familiar.

A special, unique Great Xia soldier vibe emanated directly from him.

How could— "Oh no, it's one of those chaotic and ridiculous cities. We won't be able to buy an identity!"

Lu Yiyi confirmed immediately.

When the Calamity Chaos spawns a world like this, it means you can't use money to pave the way.

Don't be fooled by how greedy the constables are.

But in the government functions, those people are like fucking Saints.

There are simply no loopholes to exploit.

This kind of city is chaotic, distorted, and difficult to understand.

"Do I... do I not have that luck?"

Lu Yiyi felt a bit dejected.

These kinds of cities are very stable.

They're hard to refresh away.

This was why Lu Yiyi's heart sank the moment she saw the razor.

This is luck.

Spawning a world like this means all your original plans will fall through.

The leyline we were supposed to explore is impossible to approach without a government identity.

That so-called destiny stone vein.

We can only wait for the next Calamity Chaos exploration—but...

Lu Yiyi might not have the time to wait for the next Calamity Chaos exploration.

"Is destiny... not on my side—"

Lu Yiyi's face turned pale, but she quickly recovered.

"Ye Su, get ready."

"Ready for what?"

"I'm going to... slaughter the city!"

A red light flickered in Lu Yiyi's eyes.

There's no time to wait for the next cataclysm exploration.

Just slaughter the government officials of this city.

And reconstruct the city's government functions ourselves.

Perhaps this battle will trigger some negative factors.

But there's no other choice.

Ye Su took a deep breath.

"What kind of identity are you trying to get?"

"Mining rights."

Lu Yiyi said;

"This world has rules. Only by obtaining mining rights granted by the government can one truly conduct mining."

"Forced replacement... might also gain the world's recognition."

"Wait a moment, let me try."

Ye Su said, taking a deep breath.

"You?"

"Yes, just wait a second."

After speaking,

Ye Su stepped forward.

Quickly, this unusual action immediately caught the sentry's attention;

"Halt!"

A voice filled with a stern Killing Intent.

"Hello, may I see your person in charge?"

Ye Su said.

The sentry was stunned upon hearing this, then said something nonsensical;

"I don't eat beef?"

"Ah!"

Ye Su was confused.

Me, Louis Koo?

Don't eat beef?

A secret code?

A meme?

"Hm? Guards!"

Seeing that Ye Su couldn't answer, the sentry immediately called for backup.

Lu Yiyi rushed out, ready to start the slaughter.

Ye Su's mind was racing at this moment.

Although it's ridiculous... the cataclysm world is just that ridiculous. So, let's make it even more ridiculous;

"The Heaven King covers the Earth Tiger!"

Whatever it is.

If it's a secret code, this one is very popular too.

As soon as these words were spoken,

the government office, which had begun to stir, suddenly went quiet.

A man with a capable aura walked out and smiled;

"The Pagoda suppresses the River Monster."

Ye Su was completely stunned—his mind was in a turmoil.

This is too mind-blowing!
