My portable grandfather refreshes every week

Chapter 208 Illusion Manifestation, Armored Zero Behemoth

Xue Dinglu stared at the scene in the distance from the crowd, his mouth agape.

He only moved forward with the flow of people after the green light turned on and the surrounding vehicles bustled across the street.

He was shocked by the people of Silver City. Their ability to integrate into the environment was too exaggerated. In just over two weeks, Xue Luding felt that they were like old natives of Jiang City.

In particular, his skillful ability to dodge his uncle and find shortcuts was something that Xue Dinglu, who had lived in Jiangcheng for more than ten years, did not possess.

He then began to marvel at how these people, even though they were natives of a fairy tale world, were all incredibly capable. They were the kind of ruthless individuals who could quickly rise to prominence and climb the social ladder anywhere.

Perhaps, for them, Earth, this extremely orderly world, is actually the easiest place to live.

Unbeknownst to Xue's laws, in the shadows, a legend circulated in Jiangcheng about "the yellow flash of takeout food."

……

Today was another full day of classes.

Xue looked at his consciousness space; a new passenger would appear in his consciousness space in an hour.

In class, the teacher began to talk about clinical diagnostics.

Xue's Law even gives one the illusion that when a teacher explains a concept, one can immediately recall all the details of that knowledge point in their mind, as if it were knowledge from a parallel world's PhD Xue's Law.

Although that knowledge is like a mirage to him now, it is not knowledge he has learned himself. Even if he forcibly stuffs it into his mind, it will only leave him with a lot of impressions, like watching a movie once.

However, this knowledge enabled Xue to master the entire book of "Clinical Diagnostics" in a very short time. While the teacher was still explaining the first chapter, he had already thoroughly understood the whole book.

It even includes the extensive clinical and anatomical experience of another PhD, Xue Dinglu…

He rubbed his temples. It wasn't a good thing that his other self was too strong. He didn't dare to fully open up these memories now, afraid that his brain would be strengthened by knowledge.

What would my other self have been like if I hadn't received this space of consciousness and my mother's favoritism?

An ultimate scroll dog, and secretly cultivating bacteriophages, with one foot in the mysticism and attempting to use his shallow mystical and medical knowledge to cultivate bacteriophages targeting Zigela.

It's fair to say that he was lucky; if his research had been discovered by those mystics beforehand, he wouldn't have been able to get there in time to save them, and the young couple would probably have already been killed by the mystics.

After class, the ancient mask transformed into a medical mask that he wore on his face. Although Xue Dinglu hasn't updated his videos for almost a month, he remains one of the few "legendary figures" in the entire department.

He hasn't been managing that TT account lately, because it was originally just a way to promote his old friends' stories, but after they all got online, his interest waned.

Now, those friends are fighting evil in a parallel world. In that parallel world, there are over 600 million people who can't even be saved by light, as well as the remnants of the mystics. Their lives must be more exciting than ours are now.

So his initial goal has been basically achieved, and he is no longer willing to put any more effort into it, nor does he care about the revenue from the videos.

In addition to the initial video playback revenue, his account has recently received several more playback revenues. Even after deducting the more than 200,000 dollars he lent to the people of Silver City, he now has an extra several hundred thousand US dollars in income.

And thereafter, there will be a continuous income of tens of thousands of US dollars every month.

However, it's a shame to lose this account. We can find someone to manage it for Xue Dinglu.

After class, Xue Dinglu found a quiet spot and began to wait silently for new passengers to arrive, while also pondering other miscellaneous matters.

"Maybe I'll have time to ask my mom for some information later, and upload the videos of my old friends fighting monsters in parallel worlds? Then I can completely step back from the spotlight?" Xue Law roughly figured out how to maintain this account in the future.

He doesn't even need to work on the account himself; he can find professionals to handle those things, like that reliable guy in Silver City, and teach them how to edit videos and manage the account. Then he only needs to hand over a portion of the videos to them each time.

Anyway, they're all looking for work, so it doesn't matter where they work. At least Xue's connections are all acquaintances, so they won't cheat people on contracts or anything like that.

At that moment, there was a fluctuation in the consciousness space.

A pitch-black portal appeared, and an unparalleled aura of evil emanated from it. The aura was so intense that even Xue Dinglu felt a chill run down his spine.

He immediately became alert and looked at the countdown in his consciousness space.

3...2...1
A long boot resembling a centipede's exoskeleton stepped out, followed by heavy footsteps emerging from the portal. His appearance blended seamlessly into the dark environment, his black robe swaying gently with his movements, embroidered with intricate runes that shimmered with a faint red light.

The black robe featured a deep V-neck design, revealing his slightly inhuman upper body, his skin resembling a combination of scales and an exoskeleton, and his imposing presence that over three meters tall.

Finally, a gloomy old man with a beard walked out of the portal. Unlike the old men Xue Law had seen before, this man exuded a domineering and arrogant aura simply by standing there. His height of over three meters and his gloomy presence made Xue Law wary.

He's the kind of being who, no matter which other world you throw him into, would be guaranteed to be a "Demon King" level being.

Xue Dinglu even sensed his strength...

Nearly Level 5!
Xue Law: "..."

Having wandered through various worlds for so long, he already knew that near-5th rank was the limit for ordinary creatures. To surpass 5th rank, one had to come up with some strange and unusual methods.

Normally, a carbon-based life form would be stuck at the quasi-5th level no matter what. To transcend the 5th level and reach the "Apostle level" mentioned in the Black Mist Council, Xue Law only knows a few possibilities.

They could either unleash their inner power like the brave old man in the Starship Troupe, but only briefly reach level 5; or they could force their way to level 5 by accumulating a large number of Divine Tree Fruits; or they could steal the world's authority; or they could absorb and fuse fragments of the Venerable King...

However, this last step is a bad idea. If you want to absorb the fragments of the King, you will most likely end up like Old Grin inside the Evil Eye. Instead of you fusing with the King, the fragments of the King will fuse with you.

As for the Shub insectoid race, which is a cosmic catastrophe, it is also related to the Black Mist Council and the King. They have undergone countless modifications and do not belong to the category of ordinary creatures.

In other words, the person who came this time is on the same level as the Great Sage Old Deng, belonging to the limit of normal creatures, a near-5th rank figure, and judging from the fact that the Great Sage, a near-5th rank figure, can conjure quite a few 5th rank spells.

Veteran near-Tier 5 individuals can generally reach Tier 5 combat power in a short time, or use some Tier 5 or higher magic and abilities. However, the insurmountable barrier of life energy level is what keeps them stuck at this stage.

At this moment, the cold old man stared intently at Xue Luding, his head held high with an arrogant air, so that Xue Luding could only see his chin.

"Interesting little brat," the old man said rudely from the start.

Xue Law: "..."

The person who came this time doesn't seem like a good guy... more like some kind of major villain...

Xue Luding felt a headache coming on. He had been communicating with people from the Order side too much and had forgotten how to greet people from the Chaos side.

He used to start by saying "I'm too lazy to talk, I'll just listen" when dealing with people from the chaotic side, and then he'd turn around and say "Sigh!"

"However, I have nothing to complain about, having been defeated like a stray dog. Since you were able to summon me from another dimension, speak, what is your wish? I can grant you the corresponding reward." The old man's gloomy and arrogant expression disappeared, and he began to survey the deserted magic academy.

He saw the portal on the playground where he was, as well as the panel system created by the Great Sage.

And looking at the countless fantastical plants and buildings throughout the magic academy, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "Heh, is this the place where magicians are trained? I really feel a little nostalgic."

Seemingly seeing that Xue Dinglu didn't speak, he said impatiently, "Human brat, what kind of reward do you want from me?"

"Wealth? Power? Or endless beauties to surround you? I can easily grant you any gift you can imagine as a reward for bringing me out of that quagmire, even though I am prepared to die in the end."

Xue Law: "..."

No, you just came in and started talking to yourself like you're the most important person in the world, acting all high and mighty, like you're doing me a favor. What? Are you some kind of domineering CEO from another world?
And then there's your constant reference to "this king," and the long string of riddles you've been spouting—who knows who you are?

"You seem to have misunderstood something. I'm not your subordinate who comes and goes as you please. Here, I am the master," Xue Dinglu said, pointing to the world around him.

"Hmph, interesting. A legendary kid? Who gave you the courage to speak to a demigod like that?" The gloomy old man tilted his head back, seemingly never taking Xue Dinglu's current level of 3rd rank with 68% experience seriously.

Xue Dinglu didn't tolerate him. The next moment, he slowly took out a Möbius strip from his hand.

Zero Beast, Xue's ability has never been used much, because with the Sky Thunder, which is a clearly better alternative, he has left Zero Beast's ability gathering dust in the warehouse.

Having experienced the world of giant beasts, the power of the Zero Beast, which was originally at the peak of the 4th tier, has also undergone a transformation and has now reached the level of near the 5th tier. Since it is also near the 5th tier, Xue Law doesn't mind teaching this arrogant old Deng a lesson.

Let him find out who's the boss here. Old Bi Deng has never seen any gangsters before. You'll be scorned if you dare to be so arrogant!
The next moment, Xue Dinglu pulled out the Möbius strip, and instantly, an overwhelming array of countless figures and immense pressure appeared. A terrifying ultimate behemoth stood on the earth, its mouth spewing sulfur and radiation, like a monster king reigning over the land.

Not only that, Xue Law called out again: "Sky Thunder!"

The next moment, the entire Skybreaker transformed into spiritual energy equipment and was placed on the Zero Beast. The Skybreaker's magical technology, enhanced by the manifestation of fantasy, became a perfect suit of armor and weaponry covering the Zero Beast.

The powerful thrusters and the colossal furnace were perfectly integrated into Zero's body, making Zero resemble a mechanical steel behemoth over a hundred meters tall.

Armored Zero, ready for battle!
