200: Chapter 200 Thank you, you're such a good person.

"Where was that old geezer's smithy again?"

"Got it!"

Chen Fan pulled the bowstring taut and aimed for a long time.

With a "whoosh," the arrow, carrying the box, embedded itself into the door of the smithy.

"Spirit Realm!"

With a low shout, Chen Fan leaped down from the roof of the twenty-plus-story building.

Before long, a few security teams appeared on the rooftop.

Looking at the empty rooftop, they looked at each other in dismay.

"Where is the new Commander-in-Chief?"

"I don't know, he probably hasn't arrived yet."

"Wait, why is there blood on the ground?"

"I've got blood on my own clothes, why are you making such a fuss?"

"Then... should we wait a bit longer?"

"Might as well."

Inside the smithy.

Chen Fan looked at the wriggling octopus in front of him and hesitantly pulled out an empty bottle.

"I only have 130 points of energy; feeding you a little is giving you enough face."

He scraped together a bit of energy, raised his hand, and threw the bottle out.

The octopus excitedly whipped out a tentacle and swallowed the bottle.

"I ask, you answer. If you answer correctly, there's more food, understand?"

"Screech—"

The octopus let out a low growl, its tentacles swaying repeatedly.

"What are you gibbering about? No one's here to translate for me."

Chen Fan curled his lip, took out another bottle, and scraped together a bit more energy again.

"Do you want it?"

"Hiss—"

"Damn it, I can't understand what you're saying either."

Chen Fan raised his hand and threw the bottle out again.

"Hiss—"

[Thank you, good person!]

"Hmm?"

Chen Fan paused, looking around as if he'd seen a ghost.

"Who's talking?"

"Hiss—"

[Good person, want more!]

"Eh?"

Chen Fan glanced at the octopus, a realization dawning on him.

He pulled out another bottle and threw a bit of energy out.

[Thank you, thank you, you really are a good person.]

He glanced at his Talent panel, where the SSS-grade Devils Whisper was emitting a glow.

"So it was this Talent acting up. It must have been the one that translated for me before I subdued Leviathan."

Chen Fan's eyes lit up immediately. He took out a bottle and gestured with it, "If you want more, you have to answer my questions."

"Hiss—"

[Mm-hmm!]

"Who are you? Why are you inside his stomach?"

"I am a clone created from a fragment left behind by the Mother Body, modified and fused into his body."

"Who is the Mother Body?"

The octopus pointed its tentacle towards the sky, "The Sea God, in the sky."

Chen Fan's pupils constricted sharply, and he instinctively prepared to look up.

But he immediately controlled himself and took a deep breath, "What kind of existence is the Sea God?"

"Hiss—want more!"

Chen Fan curled his lip helplessly and dispensed five points of energy.

Only then did the octopus speak, "The Creator God, the Master of the Night!"

"The Creator God... is it?"

Chen Fan scoffed and shook his head. He didn't believe such nonsense about a Creator God.

"How do you control that Mechanical Dragon in the city?"

"Enter the cockpit, activate identity information, and then insert annihilation particles to control it."

"What identity information?"

"It's the one that comes inside this." The octopus pointed to the transparent head cover.

Chen Fan nodded.

It took nearly thirty points of energy for Chen Fan to get the lay of the city.

One piece of good news was that, besides the Mechanical Dragon, this city seemed to have other aerial vehicles.

But since it was a newcomer, it didn't know much about them.

Furthermore, there were tens of thousands of elite armed troops in the city.

"I still have to wait for the Players to arrive. Only when they attract attention from the front can I stir up trouble in the back."

Chen Fan shook his head and looked at the octopus again.

"If you acknowledge me as your master, you'll have endless energy. How about it?"

"Hiss—"

The octopus wriggled all over, showing a conflicted expression.

But in the end, reason couldn't overcome its nature as a foodie.

[Mm-hmm!]

Chen Fan chuckled, generously threw out ten points of energy, and extended his right hand.

Since he couldn't recruit it as a Crew Member, he had to use the method he used to subdue Leviathan.

"Spirit Control!"

[With the sky as the rod, with energy as the hook, master all things.]

[Intimacy requirements met, Spirit Control effective.]

[Spirit Control Pet: Octopus Monster No. 9527 Clone.]

[Host can communicate with the Spirit Control Pet without barriers.]

"From today on, you'll be called 9527. 9527, can you return to the so-called headquarters?"

"Yes, I can, by using the teleportation array on the roof."

"Can you take me with you?"

The octopus waved its tentacles, "Even the parasitic host cannot return from here; only I can pass through."

Chen Fan thought for a moment and nodded, "Take the opportunity to slip into the teleportation array, and once you return, follow my instructions."

"Okay, I want more!"

Chen Fan helplessly gave out another 10 points of energy.

By now, he only had 90 points of holy radiance crystal energy left.

He spent one thousand gold coins to buy a black pinhole camera and attached it under the octopus monster's head.

The wriggling tentacles perfectly covered the small black dot.

After the octopus finished eating, it burped and waddled out of the smithy.

A moment later, it climbed straight up the high building and disappeared from Chen Fan's field of vision.

On the surveillance screen, 9527 took advantage of the security personnel not paying attention and slipped into the teleportation array.

Amidst a flow of light, the light gradually became brighter.

Chen Fan squinted his eyes, unaccustomed to it.

"Could it have teleported to the Daytime Instance?"

"No, this isn't sunlight."

After scanning carefully, Chen Fan's gaze locked onto the glowing sphere in the sky.

9527 seemed to know Chen Fan was watching and secretly aimed the camera at the light sphere.

"He's here, I've found him!"

Suddenly, a roar came from somewhere.

Dense footsteps approached the smithy.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and looked up.

Outside the door, a bottle-like object was thrown in.

With a "bang," the bottle exploded.

A sky full of light radiated from inside the bottle.

"This is..."

Chen Fan frowned slightly; this light was extremely similar to what he had seen in the footage transmitted back by 9527.

Activating Ghost Walk, Chen Fan walked silently towards the door.

"He's coming out, fire!"

The roar made Chen Fan pause for a moment.

"Spirit Realm!"

Before his body disappeared, a bullet even tore through Chen Fan's clothes.

When it embedded into the wall, it carried a shred of fabric with it.

"Damn it, just missed!"

The team leader rushed in, tore off the fabric of Chen Fan's clothes, and scanned the area, gnashing his teeth.

More than two thousand meters away, Chen Fan appeared in the bushes.

"Whew—damn, that was close."

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Chen Fan patted his chest repeatedly.

If it weren't for that roar, he might have really been done for.

"If you survive a great disaster, you're bound to have good fortune later."

"As for you guys... don't worry, I'll let you feed the fish more later."

With a strange laugh, Chen Fan prepared to continue checking the surveillance.

Suddenly, a private chat window popped up.

"Brother... what are you doing?"

Jiu Jiu's playful voice reached his ears.

"Being chased, just escaped."

"Ah! Then I shouldn't have disturbed you, right?"

"It's fine, where are you guys?"

Jiu Jiu looked at the sea chart, "We're sailing; it'll take about 20 more hours to reach the location you marked."

"Mm, let me know when you're almost there. I'm busy for now."

"Okay, good night, Brother~"

"Good night."

Closing the chat window, Chen Fan wiped the smile from his lips and continued to look at the surveillance screen, not missing a single detail.

After a long while.

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's still in the Night Instance, but the technology here is too advanced; they actually created an artificial sun?"
