I'm the only player

Chapter 205 [One-time copy]

"Huh..." Zhao Cheng took a deep breath, and everyone stared at him without saying anything. After a long while, he slowly spoke in a hoarse voice.

"The General Manager said that he didn't find any information about Snake Leak in the intelligence database. The various information channels also didn't receive any news. Perhaps I need to carry it alone this time."

In other words, the Yunshi Mansion had actually given up on the three of them to some extent. With no information about the evil thing, according to the information from the Fengwen Department, the chance of survival was zero.

"There is still a chance. The great merits I have accumulated in recent years are not a small amount. The Rumors Department is spread all over the world and has recruited many monsters. Maybe someone knows about the Snake Leak."

The only thing we can do now is to wait!

When someone accepts the task issued by the General Office, there will be an opportunity to solve the problem immediately. As the Red Cloud Envoy of the Wind and News Department, he has seen many cases where some people have successfully escaped after encountering evil things with only a clue.

Eight people, sitting quietly in the chairs, waiting for the last hope. Oh, no. He Sheng doesn't count, his "Snake Leak" is infinite, without any trouble.

At noon, a voice broke the silence in the room.

"Gu Gu Gu~~"

"What are you looking at? I practice martial arts, and I got the position based on my ability, not nepotism. Is it strange that I feel hungry after skipping a meal?" Sun Bantou was not ashamed at all, but questioned the other seven people.

Do you think he was scared?

I’m scared, but not too scared because I have my godfather here.

Although I haven't known him for a long time, he is always reliable. No matter how bad things are, he can always make things right.

Therefore, he was not too worried. If his adoptive father couldn't hold on, then it would be God's will. At worst, he could go downstairs, meet his parents in advance, and live a happy and ordinary life as a family of three.

"Order dinner." Zhao Cheng said, and the two Dark Cloud Envoys immediately turned around and left. After a while, they came back with a sumptuous meal. They did not trust the chef and waiter of the inn, so they had to keep an eye on any imported food. They even bought the rice and vegetables themselves.

Among the group of people, only He Sheng and his adopted son Sun Bantou were enjoying their meal. The rest, even the kid Sun Hu, pouted for a while.

Although children do not understand conversations between adults, they are extremely sensitive to external emotions and can sense that the atmosphere is bad.

"brush--"

Zhao Cheng, who was shoveling rice into his mouth, suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks. The wedge on his left hand burst into light, reflecting a series of characters that others could not understand.

"call--"

When the words disappeared one by one, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The others saw this and knew that the task that the other party had posted had a result. And it must be good news, otherwise they would not be relieved, but would be furious and smash the dining table with a slap.

"A good news or a bad news, which one should I hear first?"

Among the seven people, except for the one who solved the problem of "Snake Leakage" and the adopted son who had blind confidence in his adoptive father, all of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Look, you can actually make a joke, it works.

"The good news is that someone accepted the mission I posted, and the general manager reimbursed me for the expenses. The bad news is that the other party only knows a little bit, which is just a thread in a tangled mess."

"This is not bad news, it is a rare good news."

If it's a tangled mess and there's a thread loose, it's only a matter of time to straighten it out.

"In the Bandit Catching Division, there is a Cloud Envoy who grew up in Jiangcheng. He once heard his grandfather tell a legend about an hourglass. Unfortunately, he was only five years old at the time. He vaguely remembers that it was a legend about a blue hourglass, but he doesn't remember the specific content."

As soon as the words fell, someone asked.

"Any more?"

Zhao Cheng was silent for a while, then uttered eight big words.

"The oldest legend in Jiangcheng?"

"."

Everyone was silent. It was really a good life.

"Don't worry, it's just looking for someone."

"Jiangcheng is located on the edge of Shangyang County and has not been troubled by floods at all. The entire county has a population of 150,000. What should we do?"

Sun Bantou didn't say the rest of the word before he suddenly remembered that the person standing in front of him was a genuine fifth-rank official from a very powerful government office.

"Let's go to the county government office."

After saying that, he stood up first and started eating without even bothering to eat.

Of course, life is much more important than a stomach.

In less than an incense stick of time, the group arrived at the county government smoothly.

Zhao Chengliang revealed his identity and took over all matters in Jiangcheng in front of the county magistrate's fearful expression. Then, he issued an order, asking all the yamen runners to use any means they could think of. He wanted to find the person who knew the oldest legend in Jiangcheng, the blue hourglass.

As long as the news is true, you can pick any official below the seventh rank!
If he didn't want to be an official, he could just pick up a pen and draw any field in Jiangcheng. He would give him whatever size the circle was, without any discount. Moreover, he didn't have to worry about someone plotting against him, because he, as a fifth-rank official, would protect him from now on.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Jiangcheng exploded instantly.

Wow, can you pick any seventh-rank official? Can you draw any land?

The power of more than 100,000 people was extremely terrifying. The elderly people in the family were turned out one by one, and some people even wanted to dig their own great-grandfather out of the ground to interrogate him.

All in all, it's all crazy.

Zhao Cheng was not afraid. The people of Jiangcheng lied for the reward. Are you kidding? How could they give rewards just after receiving the news? They had to verify it. If they survived, the promise would be fulfilled.

Can’t survive?

Go to bed and you will get whatever you want in your dreams.

In the afternoon, a group of people came.

"Sir, this is my great grandfather. He heard the ancient legend of the blue hourglass when he was a child."

The eight people looked at the old man who was barely breathing and might die at any time, and looked at each other in bewilderment. Brother, do you think your great-grandfather could tire himself to death with just one sentence?
"."

The young man was silent. There was nothing he could do. The reward was so tempting.

At this moment, he regretted that he had disliked his great grandfather for not speaking clearly. In the past, the old man wanted to tell him the legend of the blue hourglass, but he found the old man annoying and walked away without listening.

Now, I wish I could go back to the past and slap myself twice.

A seventh-rank official, that is a seventh-rank official, although not a regular one!
At this time, He Sheng stepped forward and activated his skill "Ultimate Dose II". A large syringe filled with green liquid appeared in his hand and stabbed into the old man's neck.

When the mixed medicine was completely injected into the old man's body, everyone reacted immediately.

"What are you doing?"

The young man widened his eyes and asked stutteringly.

It's not that he is unfilial, but he is a muscular man, and he is at the gate of the government office with a high-ranking official standing next to him. Who would dare to act wildly?

"Don't worry, your great grandfather will get better soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man suddenly stood up with vigor.

"Master?"

"Hey, grandson. When I wanted to tell you this, you didn't want to listen. If it weren't for the other person's tricks, you would have missed a great opportunity."

The old man looked distressed, then turned around and spoke to the others.

"Actually, I don't know much about the Blue Hourglass. But you must ensure that my grandson can become an official."

"Don't worry, old man. As long as it's genuine, you can pick any one below the seventh rank." Zhao Cheng spoke with confidence. The Yunshi Mansion did not prohibit the practice of the staff in the department exchanging great merits for some marginal official positions for relatives and friends.

Of course, it is not without cost, the required merit is ten times more. The current Emperor of Dayun is afraid of creating a large family full of officials, even if the official position is not important, the highest upper limit is only from the seventh rank.

"This legend was told by my great-grandfather. It is said that in ancient times, humans were not the masters of the earth. The real masters of the land were a race called snake people. I don't know what they looked like, but through word of mouth, we only know that they were called snake people.

They are a naturally powerful race, and all snake people possess various magical powers, such as rejuvenation, resurrection, calling the wind and rain, etc.

Moreover, they worshipped totem gods, or gods in other words, and held grand sacrifices for the gods every year, with the other races being the sacrificed objects.

Unfortunately, for unknown reasons, the snake people who ruled the earth suddenly collapsed. The gods brought down a terrible curse, and those races called sacrifices began to massacre them. Thus, the snake people were completely extinct.

The things they left behind became evil due to the curse of the gods. The blue hourglass was one of them. It was originally meant to reward the warriors of the vassal snake people and turn them into blessings of the snake people.

I heard that the stronger the person, the shorter the transformation time. Anyway, my great grandfather said that countless vassal snake people races would do anything to transform into snake people. As a result, these races fought extremely bravely and made great contributions to the snake people.

It can be said that because of the blue hourglass, at least half of the entire earth was conquered by the vassal races. It is precisely because of the magical power of the blue hourglass that the snake people have become stronger and stronger, so strong that no other race can compete with them. "

After the old man finished speaking, the eight people fell silent.

"Am I going to turn into a snake?"

It was hard to tell whether Sun Bantou was happy or excited. Didn't he hear the old man say that the snake people were extremely strong and naturally possessed powerful strength?

"If you turn into a snake, believe me, you will definitely become a guest of honor in the commander-in-chief's secret office." Zhao Cheng patted Sun Bantou's shoulder and said meaningfully.

In response, someone who seemed to be in no danger at all nodded in agreement.

Wang Peng, the envoy who was sent to attack Si Hongyun, once said that the wedge was developed by a secret government under the command of the commander. The snake people who ruled the earth before the human race must be of great interest to the mysterious government, and they don't mind spending some money to study it.

"That's it!"

Sun Bantou was not a fool, so he naturally heard the profound meaning in Zhao Cheng's words. The guest of honor might be sitting somewhere.

【Ding! 】

"???"

He Sheng was confused. What do you want to do with the copy system?

[One-time copy is being generated 1% 5% 10%]

【Generation completed! 】

[Instance: "The Great Disaster"]

[Tags: one-time, collapses after leaving, no specific main plot, players can explore at will. ]

[Background of the event: The snake people who have ruled the earth for more than 100,000 years have finally faced a catastrophe. Not only do they have to deal with the counterattack of their once loyal vassals, but they also have to face the pursuit of countless hostile races and the curse of ████.

In this event, the player will play the role of a snake man and witness with their own eyes the moment when the once glorious civilization was destroyed in an instant. 】

[Number of people in the copy: 1.]

【Event BUFF: None.】

'One-time copy?'

Everything the old man said was true.

At least, there was once a race called snake people who ruled the earth. They even ruled for more than 100,000 years. In addition, what are the four black squares? Why don't you write it out clearly? System, did you do it on purpose or accidentally?

Forget it, it's none of his business. Just go in and do it.

"Grandpa!"

A cry of surprise diverted his attention.

It turned out to be an old man who ascended to heaven after telling an ancient legend.

There is no way, "Maximum Dose II" is just a matter of course, but the problem is that the old man's vitality is running out. With his own energy exhausted, the 30% vitality that was instantly restored can't last much time.

The vitality of He is like a lake, and the old man is like a glass of water. The former is 30%, what does that mean? The latter is not even 30% of a glass of water, even if it is 10 times, it will not work.

"A happy funeral." The other relatives and friends who accompanied him patted the young man on the shoulder and said. Of course, the old man lived to be over a hundred years old, and there were only a few in the whole Jiangcheng. Not to mention, before he died, he managed to get a seventh-rank official position for his grandson, which was double the happiness.

"Don't worry. I will give you a list of officials below the seventh rank later. You only need to choose one at the moment." Zhao Cheng kept his word. After he had caught the thread, all that was left was to straighten out the tangled mess.

"Sir, please choose one for me. I will go and bury my great grandfather first."

Everyone in the Jiangcheng County Office secretly gave a thumbs up, saying that he was smart. Just by looking at the clothes on the young man, you can tell that he is an ordinary citizen among ordinary people. Even if he lives a good life, how much does he know about official duties?

The Red Cloud Envoy of the Yunshi Mansion is different. When there is no hatred between the two parties, who would deliberately cheat others? He will just find a very good seventh-rank official position to reward him, which is better than choosing one himself.

On the other side, He Sheng closed his eyes and entered the space of Chuihuamen.

In the space, push open the door.

The feeling of dizziness and weightlessness disappeared, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he had become a creature with a snake's lower body and a human's upper body.

"Where's my beta?"

"Gan!"

"How did it become [V]?"

From one to two, why does it feel like the copy is becoming more and more perverted?

"Kill~~~"

The sound of fighting brought him back to his senses instantly.

Now is not the time to study how to turn [β] into [V], but to try to get the best benefits from the copy.

Then, he looked around.

"."

Well, we have to fight as soon as we come in.

He was in a team full of snake people. Thanks to his relatively tall height, he could clearly see all kinds of strange creatures pouring in from all directions, engaging in a crazy and fierce battle with the snake people.

The enemies didn't care about life or death, they just wanted to exchange their lives for others. The snake people were also very powerful, they wielded the weapons on their four arms with great vigor, they were like meat grinders on the battlefield.

But no matter how many arms you have, you can’t beat a large group of people. When a tiger meets a pack of wolves, both sides fight to the death. In the end, the tiger will definitely die, and the wolves will at most become seriously disabled.

Wait, four arms?

He looked down and saw, wow.

He also has four arms, each holding a weapon.

"No, there are more and more enemies, we can't fight our way out." A pale snake man wearing a mask similar to the Nuo mask from his previous life said.

"Master Priest, what should we do?" someone nearby asked, with a look of despair on his face.

"I need you to help me hold out for a while. As long as we can hold on for a while, it will be enough to turn defeat into victory." As the old priest spoke, he took out a blue hourglass from somewhere.

"?!"

Isn't this the "Snake's Leak" that each of the eight people in the inn has?

"Master Priest, without rituals and sacrifices, it is impossible to transform." The man who was previously full of despair said even more desperately. I thought you, old man, had some good ideas.

If the old priest's status had not always been very high, so high that it was deeply rooted in their hearts, they would have long ago said, "Are you senile and confused?"

“Who said there’s no way to transform without offering sacrifices and performing rituals? Anyway, go and resist. Buy me some time, as long as you can hold on for a little while.”

As soon as he finished speaking, brilliant blue light burst out from the old man's hands.

Got it!
Fight hard.

Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to survive.

The body may be immortal, but the soul is not invincible.

Look at the enemies of the snake people around. Each of their hands is shining brightly. Some of the snake people have no external injuries on their bodies, but they fall straight down. It is obviously an attack on the soul.

One or two can handle it, but the problem is that there are thousands of them in one direction within the line of sight. If there are too many ants, they can really bite the elephant to death.

"Roar--"

With an angry roar, he decisively activated "Half-Human, Half-Demon" and "Gigantamax", and in an instant he grew from a snake man of about three meters to fifteen meters.

All around him, the snake man next to him looked confused.

No, how did you change?
The old priest, who was concentrating on working on "Snake's Leak", almost dropped the hourglass due to a trembling hand.

"boom--"

The lower body swung its snake tail, crushing the strange creatures that were besieging it at lightning speed.

"Dragon Poison"!
A large amount of green venom surged out, like a lake erupting or a flood breaking through a dam.

The bloody battlefield suddenly turned green.

“There are still some in the air.”

The green venom evaporated and turned into green poisonous mist, which turned into a huge poisonous cloud and rose into the sky. When some creatures touched it, they immediately turned green and fell from the sky like dumplings.

The creatures on the ground were even more miserable. Some of the weaker cannon fodder were simply corroded by the venom, leaving not even a bone residue.

Of course, there are also powerful creatures that are not afraid of toxins. Some are even immune to the poison, and they are still slaughtering the snake people.

It’s not that the snake people are weak. A race that can rule a continent for hundreds of thousands of years is definitely not weak just by thinking about it with your toes.

The problem is, there are too many enemies, too many, too many, too many to kill. The snakes were simply killed in a pile. Just like the bosses in online games, their stats are high, but when the players gather together.

BOSS?

Just little chicks.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

He Sheng, who was more than ten meters tall, naturally attracted the enemy's attacks. However, his strong body managed to withstand all of them.

hide?
Hiding from Der, do you think he wants to show off?

There is no way to hide, under the overwhelming AOE, there is no way to hide, unless you use "Evil Spirit" to escape into the real world.

The snake's tail swam and instantly reached the direction where the largest number of enemies were, which was also the snake people's defense line that was about to collapse.

He opened his mouth again, and a large cloud of mist gushed out.

Dark clouds quickly spread across the skyline, covering the blue sky in an instant.

"Boom~~~"

Thunder flashed and heavy rain fell.

"Magic Power"!
Thirty seconds of invincibility activated.

"Ultimate Thunderbolt!"

"Boom boom boom boom~~~~~~"

A blue lightning bolt that looked like a stone pillar struck from the dark clouds. It was worth mentioning that the diameter of this thing was simply outrageous, a full kilometer.

"boom--"

The thunder lord that reached the sky and penetrated the earth smashed down, and countless creatures that approached were all shattered.

Of course, some snake people were also wiped out.

The Ultimate Thunderbolt is like this, no distinction between friend and foe, all perished together. Anyway, in the dungeon, except for the old priest, he didn't care about anyone's life.

"It's done!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the "Snake Leak" in the old priest's hand suddenly shattered.

That's right, it broke.

Then, endless blue sand spread in all directions and landed on some creatures, causing them to suddenly undergo shocking changes.

After three or five breaths, the enemy's bodies were torn apart, and from the two halves of the flesh, a freshly baked snake man emerged! !

"???"

No, the effect is too overbearing.

He Sheng was secretly shocked. No wonder the old man dared to say that as long as he could hold on for a while, he could turn defeat into victory. Of course, if he could turn all the enemies into his own people, how could he not win?

"No, no, no, how did I become a snake man?"

"No, no, I can be saved."

A group of creatures transformed into snakemen were shouting like crazy.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Unfortunately, they were engulfed in the attack.

Some creatures committed suicide without saying a word after the transformation was completed, and their resolute attitude was astonishing. In short, the enemies only conveyed one belief: as long as they are snake people, they must die!
Unfortunately, determination could not stop the blue sand from scattering, nor could it stop them from transforming into snakemen one by one. Previously, the snakemen were on the verge of collapse, but now as more and more enemies transformed, their pressure suddenly eased.

The enemies fought with the transformed snake people. Apparently, some creatures did not want to die, so they turned against their former companions and fought each other.

"Om-"

"???"

He Sheng felt something and turned to look at the skyline.

grass! !

What did he see?
A snake eye appeared in the dark clouds, filling the entire sky.
