269: Zhou Sheng vents his anger

Un...uneasy?

Zhao Wuqi was stunned.

Although he inexplicably felt it made sense, he was truly dissatisfied with this answer in his heart.

[Corruption Value +30!]

So he let out a light snort, displaying the powerful pressure of his thirty-ninth realm, and said coldly, "Given my realm, if I wanted to kill you people, I would have done so long ago. Why would I waste my breath talking to you here?"

"Moreover, Celestial Descendants are immortal and indestructible, so what do you need to worry about?"

"This..."

The cold wind made Zhou Sheng's cloak flap noisily.

He lowered his head and fell into contemplation.

Zhao Wuqi originally thought his contemplation would only last a dozen seconds at most. Unexpectedly, after more than a minute, he still hadn't given any other answer!

"Youngster! With this kind of dawdling, how can you accomplish great things!!?"

He spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.

The feeling of wishing for better standards grew stronger in his heart.

[The old man opposite says you can't accomplish great things.]

[You decide——]

[A: Retaliate angrily, saying you still have spirit and ambition.]

[B: It doesn't matter, let him say what he wants.]

[C: Become furious and destroy things everywhere to vent.]

[D: Start slacking off and becoming decadent, feeling like you're a useless person.]

C.

"Ah ah ah ah ah——!!"

Zhao Wuqi's words seemed to touch Zhou Sheng's inverse scale, making him scream and shout abnormally.

"Useless! Useless!"

"I'm just a useless person!"

"Can't accomplish great things! Can't accomplish great things! Ah ah ah ah——!"

Suddenly, Zhou Sheng seemed to go mad.

While screaming and holding his head, he also attacked the surrounding environment indiscriminately.

Boom boom boom boom boom——!!

The entire snow mountain shook violently, and large areas of ice and snow were blasted away!

Zhao Wuqi was stunned by Zhou Sheng's reaction.

But the other party seemed to have gone completely mad, his eyes red as if turning into a bloodthirsty werewolf, and he swiftly rushed into the Celestial Descendants, starting a massacre.

While harvesting lives, he also shouted in collapse.

"Ah ah ah! Why am I so trash! Why am I so useless!?"

"I'm just useless! Ah ah ah!"

"Can't accomplish great things, can't accomplish great things!"

"......"

[Corruption Value +60!]

Zhao Wuqi was completely dumbfounded.

His widened eyes were filled with deep astonishment.

Is this... truly the Son of Destiny?

Is this... truly a normal person?

He now felt that this was a lunatic, a lunatic with a problematic brain!

If Wan Jian Snow Manor were really handed over to the other party, perhaps everyone would go mad by the second year...

No!

The Snow Manor passed down for eighty thousand years by his ancestors absolutely cannot be handed over to this kind of person!

[Corruption Value +30!]

Zhao Wuqi had completely given up the idea of handing over the Snow Manor to the other party. Naturally, he also lost the idea of testing him further.

Looking at Zhou Sheng, who was full of a sense of madness not far away.

He shook his head helplessly, said nothing more, turned around, and disappeared from the spot.

Only a calm voice echoed in the snowy sky.

"It seems the Son of Destiny..."

"...doesn't necessarily mean excellence."

On the other side.

How could players, only in the first realm with a few layers or even no realm at all, escape Zhou Sheng's chaotic killing?

They all died within a few breaths.

When they resurrected one by one in the Saint Descent Hall square, their faces still showed more or less residual fear.

When the warm sunlight fell on them, covering their coldness and fear.

Only then did everyone quickly recover their senses, opening their mouths to complain and curse.

"Damn!! This Zhou Sheng is a pure psychopath! If I go near him again, I'm a masochist!!"

"Speechless! What kind of idiotic character is this, is his hobby killing people!?"

"Can't stay near Zhou Sheng, gotta post and tell everyone to avoid him."

...

[Ding!]

[Event "Zhou Sheng Saves a Village, Gains Recognition from Wan Jian Snow Manor Master" Ended!]

[Summary of this event: You intercepted Zhou Sheng's opportunity to save people and made Zhao Wuqi extremely disappointed in Zhou Sheng, causing him to abandon the idea of letting him inherit as the Manor Master.]

[You even managed, through limited actions, to make players start spreading negative information about Zhou Sheng.]

[Performance Reward: Corruption Value +80!]

In the Saint Descent Hall.

Lin Sheng sat on the throne inside the hall, looking at the event settlement panel that popped up in front of him, and sighed softly.

'If I hadn't interfered just now, perhaps it could have gone on a bit longer.'

'But it doesn't matter.'

Looking at the accumulated Corruption Value reaching 590.

He thought for a moment and decided to first take out some of it to add to his bloodline.

[Consume 300 Corruption Value to enhance bloodline?]

Yes!

[True Human Clan Bloodline (Grade 6 · Upper) → True Human Clan Bloodline (Grade 9 · Upper)!]

Lin Sheng wasn't sure if Grade 9 · Upper was the peak.

In any case, he invested another 100 Corruption Value.

[Bloodline Promotion Successful!]

[True Human Clan Bloodline (Grade 9 · Upper) → True Human Clan Bloodline (Saint Grade)!]

[Tip: Congratulations, your bloodline has reached the top level!]

...Very normal.

Aside from Lin Sheng himself feeling his strength had increased several times over, he didn't see any anomalies.

Okay, he could understand it in the game world.

It's just...

"This is already a game world, can't I even see the specific effects of my bloodline, or see the stats?"

The panel Lin Sheng saw was detected by the system.

He guessed that the interface players saw was probably different from what he saw.

At least.

There should be HP bars, attack and defense stats, right?

He was very curious what his stats would be when players saw his panel and it wasn't all question marks anymore.

Clang————!

Suddenly!

He heard a heavy sound coming from between heaven and earth, as if some announcement was about to arrive.

Then a series of blue text appeared before his eyes.

Seeing this information, a rare look of surprise appeared in Lin Sheng's eyes.

——[Prologue · Bandit Gathering (Part One)]——

[Main Story Summary]: A group of bandits has gathered on Slaughtering Ox Mountain and plundered Hongshui Town at the foot of the mountain last night. Heroes, please go up the mountain to kill the bandits and rescue the plundered civilians.

[Time Limit]: 120 minutes.

"What? This is..."

He looked at Lin Moxuan and Hong Tianji and the others in the distance. Their expressions were all very calm, as if this thing wasn't even in front of them.

'Among the NPCs, is it only me who has this?'

Lin Sheng swept his gaze towards the players.

They were all extremely excited now.

"Prologue!? There's actually something like this, so this is the main story?"

"I get it! The core gameplay of this game isn't actually following the Heavenly Mandated Protagonist, but for us players to develop individually, and then gather together every so often to tackle the main story!"

"That's right, that's right. I said I didn't see any quest NPCs. So it's a free exploration + gathering to fight monsters type."

"So are we entering the main story instance now?"

"Definitely! Let's go, let's go!"

"Let's go, let's go..."

Right in front of Lin Sheng and the other "NPCs", the players' bodies successively turned into light and dissipated.
