Chapter 646 A Living Legend

"Are you trying to become Captain Gorilla?!"

Upon seeing the metallic red gorilla quietly floating in the breeding tank, Cheng Tian immediately pictured Captain Gorilla's legs turned upside down.

Cheng Tian will not interfere with Wu Tan's choice and will respect it accordingly.

In order to open up more research topics and carry out research at the same time, the orangutan's already sparse hair has long since become so thin that the scalp can be clearly seen. If it cannot even decide its own life form, then all this energy will be wasted.

Cheng Tian had thought that Utan might choose a form similar to the Velociraptor Warrior, with a pure metal beast appearance, but it seems that it still retains a considerable amount of flesh and blood.

"Only the final adjustments are needed before the consciousness transfer can proceed."

Utan casually uttered some very frightening words.

Perhaps influenced by the eccentric woman, Touko Aozaki, Utan, who already had few taboos about replicating his own personality knowledge, also abandoned all ideas such as "the true self" and "the Ship of Theseus".

Many people might struggle with the question: if I infuse personality knowledge into a doll, and then I die, is the resurrected doll still me?

But Aozaki Touko didn't care, and neither did Utan.

Cheng Tian could only say that Wu Tan, who could come up with such an idea, was probably a madman at heart.

"If that's the case, then your larval incubation tank, and the golden knight statue that can be resurrected, are actually not that different from mine."

After noticing Cheng Tian's undisguised gaze, Wu Tan offered his own explanation.

"……It really is."

Cheng Tian thought about it carefully and realized that it might actually make sense.

If you were to revive on the spot in the instance, that would be one thing. But this situation of saving your game in advance and then respawning in the space after dying in the instance is exactly the same as what Utan did, except that Utan actively changed bodies.

"But I'll still need to trouble you, Boss, when the time comes."

Utan said to Cheng Tian with a serious expression.

"how to say?"

"Just like you stuffed that girl's soul into a blank doll, I'm entrusting my soul to you now."

After making an "OJBK" sign, Cheng Tian went for a stroll in the square by himself, something he hadn't done in a long time.

He simply used a very basic facial recognition disguise before leaving the house, and then he felt many undisguised gazes directed at him. Strangely, these gazes didn't come from the player community, but from the NPCs within the Chosen One space, similar to Kelly next to the equipment enhancement machine.

Cheng Tian was quite puzzled by this, but the way the NPCs looked at him as a "legendary figure" was genuine, because Cheng's legendary status had reached 5 points.

Five points of legendary status are enough to make Cheng Tian a household name in the Heavenly Chosen Space.

The titles Cheng Tian received—the "911" title for blowing up the Twin Towers, the "Origin Hero" title for defeating the Demon King Dam, the "Enemy of the Orochi" title for sealing the Orochi, the "Holy Grail King" title for completely assimilating with the Black Grail, and the "Ship Captor" title for recently subduing Gen and seizing the entire Martian mothership—each grant Cheng Tian a +1 Legendary status bonus.

Each of these actions, taken individually, would be quite astonishing. But now, all of them converged on Cheng Tian, ​​making him one of those "legendary figures" in different storylines.

A living legend!
It's not too bad for the player group, but for the NPCs inside and outside the dungeon, the effect is quite outstanding.

It's fine if you don't mention it, but as soon as you mention Cheng Tian's ID to an NPC, even if it's from a completely unrelated background, the other person will most likely have a reaction like, "...I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before?"

Once it's a copy or space that Cheng Tian has experienced before, then as long as he walks down the street, Cheng Tian will definitely be the coolest guy!
Due to the rules, the NPCs in the space will not actively reveal Cheng Tian's secrets, but their enthusiasm is inevitable. Who wouldn't want to get up close and personal with a living legend?

This is why Cheng Tian almost never goes to the commercial districts of the space. If he did go, even if it weren't for the zombie siege, it would be enough to cause a large-scale commotion among the crowd.

As the first person in the spatial group to obtain so much legendary status, Cheng Tian had no predecessors in the relevant field to learn from, which is why he could not find the specific reason why he felt the strange gaze of the NPC group.

Only after changing his appearance several times, and even hiding his ID, did he temporarily escape the stares that were enough to raise the temperature of the surrounding air by one or two degrees.

Because Cheng Tian completed the main quest so quickly, he was among the first players to return this month after completing the main quest. This means that at this moment, there are relatively few players in the space, and most of the facilities are empty with hardly anyone around.

Not particularly interested in anything outside the game, and also aware of the potential for some special changes within himself, Cheng Tian simply activated the extra instance of Demon Village to continue fulfilling his promise to the deceased Arthur.

So far, Cheng Tian has completed the first four levels of Demon Village and officially opened the gate to the Demon King's Castle last month. After entering the instance, Cheng Tian successfully stepped into the Demon King's Castle and arrived at the bottom level of the castle, which is the corresponding fifth level scene.

It's possible that Cheng Tian's own improved abilities caused the dungeon difficulty to rise as well, reaching the standard B-level difficulty.

This resulted in most of the mobs in the dungeon having their attributes and health increased significantly... but under the influence of the Shock Orb, they still fell in large numbers.

Moreover, compared to the fourth level last month, Cheng Tian noticed a significant change in the attitude of the monster group.

As before, the low-level monsters like zombies and ghosts swarmed towards Cheng Tian as soon as they smelled his human scent, only to be mercilessly annihilated by the Shock Orb and the Zuster spell.

However, when he encountered the "Red Demon" unit, which possessed higher intelligence and harbored a racial hatred towards Cheng Tian, ​​the unit was startled upon meeting him and then ran away without looking back!
Whether it counts as money to buy one's life or not, the fleeing Red Devil also dropped a box with a corresponding hint.

[The Red Devil captain was so intimidated by your reputation that he fled in panic, leaving behind an item he carried with him.]
