Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

beep beep-

It had been more than half a day since I came out of the dungeon.

Although the curtain of night has been drawn across the sky, the city is still bustling with traffic and activity.

Since the start of the open beta, the Bureau of Extraordinary Events has prioritized eliminating dungeon passages on the main roads of each city based on their difficulty level.

Nobody wants to suddenly find themselves in a dungeon while walking down the street.

Today, basic transportation between cities has returned to normal.

Of course, compared to the early stages abroad where players could only recklessly rush through and risk their lives, the domestic players had the accurate address of the dungeon passage provided by Wu Wang, coupled with the overall control of the Bureau of Strange Events, which allowed for a more systematic and orderly approach to the game. As a result, the proportion of ordinary people who became players of the Spirit Disaster was far ahead of others.

However, a sharp decline in population is unavoidable.

After all, the number of deaths on the day of the public beta test alone was already astronomical.

The impact of a sharp population decline is enormous for society as a whole.

This includes both the economic impact of vacant housing, jobs, resource production, and labor, and the strategic impact on national defense and the realities of a biological invasion.

It can be said that this is a huge challenge for the entire civilization and social system.

Even though things may seem to return to normal in the short term, the entire social system is currently in a state of disarray and in need of rebuilding.

With more and more people becoming players of the Necropolis, the things that humans, whether individually or collectively, can do have undergone a qualitative leap compared to the past.

This also echoes the season theme of this public beta test – Supreme Evolution.

Evolution, a process that signifies becoming stronger and better, is always exciting.

Wan Shi Tong walked through a secluded alley in Yunzhou City.

He was happily taking stock of the mountain of props and equipment piled up in his personal warehouse.

In this era of rebuilding from scratch, every player in the Calamity is driven by the desire to become stronger than others.

As a top-notch intelligence broker and trader, she was so busy with social engagements every day that she couldn't possibly keep up.

Even though Wan Shi Tong has now raised its prices and information trading thresholds very high.

This still couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of advanced players.

This is why Wan Shi Tong felt no regret at missing out on the [Legendary] equipment.

In her opinion, she has no shortage of equipment, unless it is something so special that it would interest some powerful beings. Even legendary equipment is just so-so.

If you have it, you can never have too much; if you don't have it, you won't envy it.

Because equipment is actually the easiest thing for a know-it-all to obtain through trading.

Intelligence is the only thing that is truly scarce.

For example, right now, she's been kept in Yunzhou City by some sleazy guy using special intelligence.

It was rumored that Yan Shuangying had close contact with the Venerable One.

Since his debut, he has been known as the private tutor of the Holy Son of the "Desire Sea Spirit Lord".

Furthermore, he had personally witnessed that the other party possessed the [Mark of Desire] and was even able to severely injure and force back the offspring of the [Eternal] Venerable.

The information he shared about the Venerable One became even more valuable.

"Three minutes left, I hope this guy doesn't stand me up?" Know-it-all frowned, looking at his watch with a hint of helplessness.

The time she and Yan Shuangying had agreed upon was fast approaching.

However, the other party failed to appear for a long time.

This gave the know-it-all a bad feeling.

Just as she was preparing to hide or retreat, a long, drawn-out engine roar came from the end of the street.

Buzz-buzz-buzz!

Accompanied by a thrilling roar, a silvery-white lightning bolt darted to the alley entrance and came to an abrupt stop.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a supercar with an exceptionally high aesthetic appeal.

Click——

The passenger door opened, revealing that smug face.

Wu Wang got out of the car, tilted his head towards the alley, and said, "Get in the car, let's find a place to eat and chat."

The all-knowing man slowly emerged from the shadows.

He looked the eye-catching supercar up and down and said disdainfully, "I didn't expect you to be so materialistic. What's the point of having such a flashy but impractical thing? Besides, this car is a two-seater, right? You've already gotten out of the passenger seat, where's the room for me to get in?"

He kept saying he had nowhere to sit.

In fact, Wu Wang could tell that this extremely vigilant intelligence broker was asking who the driver was.

She wouldn't feel comfortable getting into a car with a stranger.

Faced with this concern, Wu Wang walked to the driver's seat.

I opened the door, bent down, and carried out a black and white calico cat.

He casually tossed the cat into the know-it-all's arms and shrugged, saying, "That's fine. You hold it for now, I'll drive."

Know-it-all: “?”

No, buddy! Wait a minute!
She bent down in shock to look through the open passenger door.

They discovered that Wu Wang was indeed the only person left in the car.

That is to say...

"Holy crap! Was that thing driving just now?"

The all-knowing man held up the cow-and-cat figurine in his hand and said in disbelief.

In response, Wu Wang honked the horn, rolled his eyes, and said, "Are we getting on or not? The food over there has already been ordered. If we don't go now, it'll get cold. We can talk in the car."

With things having come to this, the know-it-all had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit down.

The moment the door closed, a strong sense of acceleration pushed me back into the car, and the supercar roared off into the night market.

Watching the black and white cat stretch and yawn before lying down on his lap, the know-it-all instinctively reached out and stroked the cat's fur.

To be fair, this cat's fur is in pretty good condition.

She glanced at the scenery outside the window, quickly stepped back, and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

In response, Wu Wang explained, "Well, I admit it's a bit difficult to teach this silly cat to drive. His legs aren't long enough to reach the accelerator and brake, so we have to tie two sticks to his legs."

After saying that, the know-it-all also noticed out of the corner of his eye that there were two straight wooden sticks and a rope next to the driver's seat.

So this is what they use to strap onto a cat's leg to press the accelerator and brake pedals...

"Go to hell! Is that the point?" Know-it-all immediately realized and gritted his teeth.

Wu Wang immediately added, "Oh, you're asking about the car? This is something I won by having him race against a group of rich kids before we came, to train his driving skills. Consider it this silly cat's trophy."

"Tsk, you're absolutely right. It's all show and no substance. It's a sports car that looks impressive but can't actually carry much. The chassis is so low that it's hard to even get into an underground parking lot in the city. It's easy to scrape the bottom. I'll have him get a new one later, and he can also practice his trading skills while he's at it."

The knuckles of the all-knowing man's clenched fist made a cracking sound.

She tried her best to keep smiling, but the veins on her forehead were still slightly bulging.

calm down……

After taking two deep breaths, the all-knowing man calmed down.

He picked up the black and white cat, looked it up and down, and said, "I'm asking how this cat came to be."

“I’ve seen summoned creatures with intelligence before, but those things are generally very restricted and can never stay in the real world for long. Your cat is obviously not a summoned creature. Could it be a creature from a dungeon?”

They have a mysterious relationship with the Venerable One and can even raise dungeon creatures as pets.

Wan Shitong had no idea how many secrets Yan Shuangying still held.

She even began to doubt whether the other person was human.

"Meow~"

However, before Wu Wang could answer, the black and white cat licked its front paws and meowed.

In an instant, Wan Shitong understood the meaning behind the cry.

No, I was a stray cat picked up from the roadside.

Know-It-All: "!!!"

Her pupils constricted sharply. Holy crap, this cat not only possesses the intelligence to understand human speech, but it can also communicate telepathically!?
You found it on the roadside? What the hell do you think you could find something like this on the road?!
In her heart, the value of the black and white cat Xiaoqiu was rising rapidly, and she liked the cat more and more when she reached out to pet it.

But before he could continue speaking...

Wu Wang calmly replied, "Don't even think about it, I'm not selling."

"If I dare to sell my cat today, someone will strangle me to death tomorrow."

"For the sake of family harmony, please don't ask about the price. It's better for both of us."

Seeing this, the know-it-all decided not to ask any more questions.

With Wu Wang driving at an excessive speed, the car quickly arrived at a nearby night market.

After parking the car, we arrived at the entrance of a food stall.

The know-it-all's lips twitched as he looked at the slightly worn-out sign.

He subconsciously retorted, "When you're treating someone to a meal, can't you at least treat them to something nice? I don't think you're short of money, are you?"

Wu Wang raised an eyebrow and replied, "First, as long as the food is good, that's all that matters. A bad place doesn't mean bad taste. This was recommended by Ying Luo. If you have any problems, call her and yell at her. Second, who said I'm treating?"

Immediately afterwards, he called the boss over.

Pointing at the know-it-all, he said, "She'll pay the bill for table number 9. Let her in after she pays. The food has already been served, right?"

After saying that, Wu Wang walked into the food stall without looking back.

The know-it-all was left standing there, bewildered in the wind.

She has encountered petty people who set traps to swindle her, as well as newcomers who are cautious and afraid of offending her, and even benefactors who are much more powerful than her but still treat her with great respect and a lavish feast.

But this is the first time I've ever encountered a jerk who expects me to treat him to a meal before we even meet!
She took the bill with a dark expression, and when she looked at it, she became even angrier.

He took a deep breath and asked, "What did this bastard order that cost so much?"

Although the know-it-all is incredibly wealthy, real money is just a string of numbers to her now.

But this inexplicable payment still annoyed her.

Seeing this, the boss pointed to the corner and said, "After all, it's such a big table of people, it's not that many."

The all-knowing man looked in the direction his boss was pointing.

To their surprise, they found that three women were already sitting in a circle chatting where Yan Shuangying had sat down, and the table was covered with various barbecues and dishes enough for five or six people.

Her gaze immediately sharpened.

The other party didn't mention that there were any outsiders present!
Could this be a campaign involving multiple deals?
Thinking about this possibility, she looked around at her surroundings and felt a slight headache coming on.

That's one way of putting it...

In general, if you're going to conduct a bidding process, you might as well find an auction house or a private venue.

A street food stall doesn't seem appropriate at all, does it? And it's not a matter of taste!
After quickly settling the bill, Know-It-All headed to table number nine.

He sat down in the only empty seat and asked calmly:

"Let's get down to business now. What information do you have? And who are these people?"

At this moment, Wu Wang was enthusiastically showing off his barbecue while holding a dipping sauce.

He mumbled indistinctly, "Oh, this is the Spider Lily, and also a player."

"Those two over there are Mary and Lilith, you could say they're dungeon bosses."

He swallowed the food in his mouth hard.

With a solemn expression, he said, "I have information about the Venerable One's invasion of reality."

dong dong!

Wan Shi Tong's heart rate increased slightly.

As the apprentice of the Gentleman Penguin, she was well aware that the various Venerable Ones were eyeing the real world covetously after the [Public Beta] launch.

This is precisely why she pays even more attention to Yan Shuangying, who has close contact with the Venerable One.

I never expected that before I even brought it up, this guy would take the initiative to provide the relevant information!
The key point is—knowing this level of information, isn't his relationship with the Venerable One a bit too good?
After all, if the Venerable One invades reality, Yan Shuangying, as a player of the Spirit Disaster, should also be one of the victims, right?
How did he get this information? Surely it couldn't have been told to him by the Venerable One himself?

The sheer volume of information conveyed in that statement momentarily overwhelmed even the know-it-all, who was momentarily stunned by the fact that Mary and Lilith were dungeon bosses.

Seeing this, Wu Wang continued picking up food and said, "You can't afford the reward I need for the intelligence I'm exchanging."

"There are only ten hours left until the Wanbao Auction. You'll definitely be there, right?"

"I called you here today just so you could contact that ruthless penguin and leak this information to him in advance. I want to make a deal with him."

"Also, have him prepare a reward. If there isn't one, you can use this information as an auction item."

Upon hearing this, the know-it-all frowned deeply.

She immediately switched to work mode and said, "First, your source and level of information are unclear. I can't tell Master Penguin this kind of thing; his time is very valuable. Second, how do you know I can't afford the relevant compensation?"

Having said that, the know-it-all proudly raised his head.

She believes she has plenty of resources at her disposal.

Yan Shuangying's words are far too arrogant.

However, Wu Wang's next words completely stunned her.

"Sure, I'd be happy to pay you."

"I need a way to freely traverse the dungeon world, and a way to conceal my presence in front of the Venerable One."

Do you have any relevant information?

Wu Wang smiled after he finished speaking.

He picked up a piece of roasted meat from Wu Xiaoyou's plate, which had developed a beautiful, perfectly brownish-red pattern due to the Maillard reaction.

However, Wu Xiaoyou seemed somewhat distracted.

Picking up meat and putting it in my mouth felt like chewing wax; it was just mechanical chewing.

Mary and Lilith, who had changed into casual clothes these past few days to avoid attracting attention, but whose noble demeanor and appearance still drew a lot of attention, were also slightly frowning as they pondered something.

Only then did the know-it-all notice that the atmosphere at the table seemed a little awkward.

Why did she feel a strange, faint sadness?
I shook my head slightly to clear out any unnecessary information.

The all-knowing man returned to the main point and replied, "Are you sure the information you've provided is enough to exchange for the information on these two methods you mentioned?"

“I’m sure this information would be worthless to ordinary players of the Spirit Disaster, but it’s more valuable to powerful beings. Blackheart Penguin is one of them,” Wu Wang nodded.

Seeing how certain this guy was.

The know-it-all pondered for a moment.

Finally, he sighed and picked up the dipping sauce in front of him.

He picked up some food from the table and said, "Okay, I admit I can't pay for the relevant information right now, and because of our personal relationship, I'll tell Master Penguin about the situation later."

"Let's go to the auction together in ten hours."

"I will take you to see my master before the show starts. You can talk about it face to face. I hope you won't try to fool me with false information. You can't fool my master with fake news."

Anyway, I can't figure out what kind of information could be so special.

Furthermore, the stronger the being, the more valuable it is.

In that case, let's just leave it to the gentleman penguin to decide.

Anyway, the auction is about to begin, and the other party has to host it.

Consider it a warm-up before the main event.

"OK, thanks." Wu Wang continued eating his barbecue and said, "Let's trade some more items and equipment later. I need a lot of things that can save my life."

Upon hearing Wu Wang's words, Wu Xiaoyou's expression became even more complicated.

Because during the day after Wu Wang returned from the instance, he not only explained to himself the news that the world might end in ten days.

He even revealed his own choice.

That was an incomprehensible choice.

This is also the only way Wu Wang can think of at this stage that might preserve the real world.

Yes, he did not choose any of the options given by [Desire Sea Spirit Lord].

He must find a way to survive in the real world amidst this apocalyptic scenario of a revered being descending upon the world! (End of Chapter)
