239: Chapter 239 Read Random Replies, Just Making Things Up

The system seemed completely speechless.

A series of [...] flashed frantically on Chen You's retina, filled with impotent rage.

Inside the hall, the atmosphere was eerie.

The assassin Jue Ying, slumped in the corner, had his mouth slightly agape and a vacant look in his eyes.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What did I just hear?

A labor contract?

He had been in the Source Realm for many years, living on the edge, killing and looting—what kind of scene hadn't he witnessed?

But today, he felt his experience was still far too lacking.

This God King... is there something wrong with his head?

On the rooftop.

Oro looked at the static golden cursor on the tablet, then at the calm figure in the hall below, finally unable to hold back.

"What is he doing? Has he lost his mind?"

"No." In Arrow of the Moon's star-like eyes, a light of wisdom intertwined with confusion flickered. "You don't understand; this is a contest of 'momentum'."

Oro: "...Speak plain English."

"He is breaking the opponent's will to fight."

Arrow of the Moon took a deep breath, like a tactical master analyzing a classic battle.

"Using the most inconceivable words to break through the opponent's psychological barriers."

"That assassin's heart is already in chaos."

Oro grinned.

He didn't know if the heart was in chaos, but he knew that if he didn't act soon, this mission might never be completed.

"If you can't do it, let me."

Oro snatched the exaggeratedly shaped sniper rifle from Arrow of the Moon's hand.

The moment he held it, his straight brows furrowed sharply.

"Hmm?"

"What do you feel?" Arrow of the Moon asked.

"You've been fiddling with this for so long," Oro said, pressing the cold butt of the gun against his shoulder, feeling the bone-chilling coldness.

"Why is this thing still so icy?"

Arrow of the Moon: "..."

She didn't bother explaining that faint sense of pulling, only saying indifferently, "Perhaps it craves the body heat of the Roman God Clan."

"Crazy."

Oro laughed, quickly adjusted his posture, and locked onto Chen You in the hall below through the scope.

...

The hall below.

Chen You completely ignored the still-flashing system warnings.

He was still thinking about how to trigger a hidden plot.

Moreover, this activity scene always felt a bit off to him.

According to his understanding, the Source Realm had never had technology-based classes.

Like Gunners or something.

Whether it was the power of the Three Great Divine Races or his own cultivation class, they essentially belonged to the extraordinary power system.

He had never seen any modern technological weapons in the Source Realm.

Whether it was firearms, mechs, or warships, it was as if the basic rules of this world rejected these things.

Yet, in this special script for the Anniversary Event, they appeared.

He wasn't sure if he was overthinking it, but it just felt wrong.

It was like someone suddenly pulling out an AK-47 in a pure wuxia world.

This wasn't just a matter of the art style being wrong; it was a conflict of underlying logic.

This so-called "Anniversary Event" was probably not that simple.

Just as he was pondering.

"Boom—!"

The two doors of the hall, carved with intricate patterns, were slammed open from the outside with brute force!

Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of twisting metal, the two door panels spun inward and crashed heavily onto the ground.

A slender and determined figure appeared at the doorway against the light.

She wore a worn-out but washed-white dress, her petite frame looking exceptionally frail in the empty doorway.

Her pretty face was stained with dust, and in her large eyes burned unyielding fire and deep-seated hatred.

The script's heroine had arrived.

The system finally seemed to react.

[Scenario Summary: She's here! The only woman who dares to resist you! She is as lowly as dust, yet possesses a soul more brilliant than the stars.]

[Her appearance has caused the heart you had frozen for ten thousand years to crack for the first time.]

[Dialogue Instruction: With a tone of two parts mockery, three parts coldness, and four parts indifference, slowly lift her chin and say—"Woman, you have successfully caught my attention."]

[Action Instruction: Step forward slowly, ignore the dagger in her hand, and demonstrate the God King's absolute suppression and... damn possessiveness!]

Chen You looked at the instructions refreshing on his retina, and the corner of his eye twitched.

Again?

He looked up at the female player at the door; she was clearly in a state of extreme shame and embarrassment as well.

Their eyes met, and both revealed a sense of mutual sympathy, like two people stranded in the same boat.

Chen You could even read the look in her eyes: Brother, you have to hold on!

"God King Ba Tian!"

The girl took a deep breath and summoned her courage, reciting her shameful lines in a slightly trembling voice.

"You demon! Even if I die, I will use these eyes of mine to curse you forever! I will never let you have peace!"

After speaking, she raised a small dagger and stumbled forward.

That acting was so exaggerated yet carried a hint of sincerity that Chen You almost wanted to give her a thumbs up.

On the rooftop, Arrow of the Moon and Oro also held their breath.

"The key character has appeared!" Arrow of the Moon's tone was excited.

"This is the true trial! The assassination was just an appetizer; how he handles the relationship with this woman is the main storyline!"

Oro nodded in deep agreement.

Then, they witnessed a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

Faced with the charging heroine, Chen You not only failed to step forward according to the script but instead took two large steps back.

He looked at the girl warily while holding the golden divine spear across his chest, assuming a standard defensive posture.

Then, he turned his head and shouted at the assassin Jue Ying in the corner, who had already begun to question his life:

"Brother! Time to work!"

Jue Ying: "???"

"What are you dazing for!" Chen You's voice was full of a capitalist's urgency.

"Your contract partner has appeared! Quick! Go up and exchange lines with her! Remember, sweet tofu pudding is the way to go!"

Chen You didn't even know what he was saying; he was just speaking pure nonsense.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

The heroine, who was halfway through her charge, stumbled and almost fell flat on her face.

In the corner, Jue Ying's brain CPU completely burned out.

On the rooftop, Arrow of the Moon and Oro were both petrified.

[Warning! Warning! Warning!]

[Script logic has severely deviated! Actor behavior shows uncontrollable abnormalities!]

[Warning! System is attempting to correct...]

Blood-red warning prompts flooded Chen You's vision like a waterfall.

But he didn't care at all.

He walked over to Jue Ying and kicked him up from the ground.

"Go!"

"But... my script isn't this..." Jue Ying was almost in tears.

"No time to explain!" Chen You impatiently stuffed the golden divine spear into his hand.

"Take it; this is equipment issued to you by the company! Now, I appoint you as the Rebel Action Group Leader. She," Chen You pointed at the girl.

"Is your contract partner, but she cheated on you."

"God King..." The girl was also dazed, staring blankly at Chen You, "You..."

"Don't call me God King." Chen You interrupted her righteously, "I am but a passerby."

"My clip-clopping hooves..."

"Boom—!!!!!"

It was as if an invisible thunderclap exploded throughout the entire space.

The entire cyberpunk-style luxury hall began to vibrate violently.

[Severe Warning: Script integrity is below 10%, core logic chain broken!]

[Emergency contingency plan activated...]

A cold, emotionless mechanical voice, like a judgment, echoed in the minds of all participants.

["Script Terminator" has been deployed.]
