Infinite people, start speedrunning

Chapter 143 Speedrun of the Scorpion King Side Quest [Second Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets]

"call……"

Fang Ge took a deep breath.

Within his inner world, there was always a device connected to satellite imagery, allowing him to monitor Zheng Zha's situation with just a little effort.

To communicate, a communicator would suffice... Of course, Zheng Zha's communicator was damaged, so he had to go through Zhan Lan as a relay station to contact the other party.

In short, everything over there has been arranged, and now it's time to wait for Zheng Zha and his team's results.

According to Fang Ge's estimation... there shouldn't be any casualties.

He, Jin Xi, and Zhao Yingkong are going to complete the main quest of "Legend of the Gods and Demons II"—namely, "The Scorpion King's Treasure".

Once the main storyline of the second part is triggered, the Central Continent Team will be able to remain in the world of The Mummy due to the new main quest.

In this way, if Zheng Zha and his group kill Imhotep, the team won't be forced to return to the Main God Space...

According to the normal procedure, to find the mysterious tomb that will trigger the second part of the story, one needs to contact the Guardian Clan—the bearded man with the Golden Eye from the original work.

However, who is Fang Ge? He's a speedrunner, so he can skip these prerequisites completely.

The world of Gods and Demons is a place that the Central Continent Team must pass through. He is more familiar with everything here than with his own bedroom.

Finding the location of the tomb is easy, isn't it?
After spending a short time suppressing his inner demons, he released the [Jeter Fire Dragon] and began heading towards his destination at an incredibly fast speed.

At this point, the three had already landed at their destination.

Throughout the journey, Zhao Yingkong seemed dazed and confused.

She clung to the dragon's claws, occasionally touching her lips and lost in thought.

Fang Ge almost suspected that there was something wrong with her personality.

However, Fang Ge, as a genuine [fourth-tier expert], had extremely sharp spiritual sense. After several investigations, he still couldn't find anything wrong with Zhao Yingkong.

When asked about her health, Little Apple answered fluently. It's clear that she's outgoing and expressive, but for some reason, she's become a quiet, reserved person.

Normally, she would be quite happy to talk to Fang Ge.

Fang Ge had no idea what Little Apple was thinking.

—It couldn't be because her alter ego stole her first kiss and she was angry, could it?

Fang Ge hadn't expected that the one who overstepped his bounds was indeed the "rebellious disciple." Therefore, he couldn't deduce the reason why Zhao Yingkong was ignoring him.

Jin Xi simply smiled faintly, as if everything was completely unrelated to her.

Let's leave relationship issues aside for now.

Before the three of them was an inconspicuous little cave, with no other buildings on the ground.

Compared to the still magnificent ruins of Hamunaptra, the capital of the dead, thousands of years later, this tomb is indeed a secret tomb, like a sand cave formed by a sand dune.

"This is the plot of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. The Scorpion King, said to be a warrior from Africa, led his army in an attempt to conquer the world. His first target was ancient Egypt, but he was thwarted at the city of Thebes. Ultimately, the Scorpion King was defeated outside Thebes and could only flee into the sacred Amshe Desert with his remaining troops..."

Fang Ge spoke softly as she walked towards the entrance of the tomb.

Theoretically, this requires a [key] to open... that is, the key to unlock the Book of the Dead and the Book of the Sun.

If the bearded NPC were here, he would definitely ramble on and on... such as:
This tomb was built using techniques from the same period as Hamunaptra and contains numerous traps and mechanisms. Do not wander around aimlessly, especially avoid activating certain sensitive areas, as this could cause a major collapse.

This is the kind of thing.

However, Fang Ge knew that once he stepped into the tomb, the main quest would be triggered, and the tomb would begin to collapse. The NPCs' words were completely useless; he still had to rely on their skills and stats.

Since it's going to collapse anyway, whether you use the key or not... then what's the point of having the key?
Speedrunners are in a hurry.

Surely no one really thinks that a small tomb entrance could stop a fourth-tier legend?

"You two stay here and don't move. I'll go get the Death Bracelet."

Fang Ge gave a briefing and patted Zhao Yingkong's head, signaling her not to get distracted. He suddenly realized that the girl's [Qilin Entanglement] had been shattered by Fang Ge during the battle. Apart from the main body maintained by the symbiote, the breastplate and the Qilin horn headdress were either broken or shattered.

"Are you feeling sorry for your gear?" he asked casually.

Zhao Yingkong hadn't paid much attention to these things at first. It was only after being reminded that she suddenly realized what was going on.

The girl pressed the arm armor almost to the tip of her nose, squinting as she checked the battle damage to the [Qilin Entanglement] armor.

"Has your vision... deteriorated to this extent?"

Fang Ge knew, of course, that the Mangekyou Sharingan he had awakened was different from the one he had obtained from the God of War; its vision would decrease as its pupil power was consumed.

Zhao Yingkong only used her pupil technique three times in total, twice with her left eye and once with her right eye...

"Hmm..." Little Apple responded softly, "My eyesight isn't seriously affected; the God can repair it. I can also use my eye technique at least twice more, but [Qilin Entanglement]..."

"The things I break should be on my tab."

Fang Ge found it somewhat amusing. She made a soft promise, "The irreversible damage is because the Qilin is already dead, not a real living armor... I'll catch you a live one when we get back."

"Okay." Zhao Yingkong nodded, revealing a faint smile.

"That's all for now, I'm in a hurry."

As Fang Ge spoke, he threw a punch.

"Boom!" The tomb gate shattered instantly, and even the several-meter-thick stone wall could not withstand Fang Ge's casual actions.

[Enter the horror movie world early for the main storyline, increasing the difficulty to the maximum. Completing this will reward you with triple the number of side quests and bonus points. Obtain the Scorpion King Bracelet within three minutes. The person who obtains the Scorpion King Bracelet will be rewarded with one B-level side quest and 6000 bonus points. If the task is not completed within three minutes, the tomb will collapse, and the entire team will be deducted 1 bonus points.]

"Three minutes? You think highly of me..."

Almost the instant the main god's notification sounded, Fang Ge's figure shot out.

The main god clearly had no intention of protecting the cultural relics. Time was of the essence, and he couldn't care less about the integrity of the tomb. He kept slashing out with his Tianhui sword, shattering everything in front of him, trying to blast out a straight path!

Countless three-meter-tall dog-headed, human-bodied monsters and seven- or eight-meter-long giant scorpions crumbled at the slightest touch, unable to stop him in the slightest.

He disregarded everything, transforming into a golden sun and charging straight towards the location of the Death Bracelet.

He smashed the granite door with a punch, took out a small box from the table inside the tomb, and gently opened it. Sure enough, he found a golden bracelet inside.

Fang Ge immediately took the bracelet in her hand, and the moment her hand touched the bracelet, the solemn announcement from the main god immediately entered her mind.

[Complete the main storyline in advance to obtain the story item Death Bracelet. After killing the Scorpion King, you can summon a Death Army, fifty times the number of Mummy Guards that the user can summon. If the Scorpion King is not killed within 10 days, the holder of the item will be eliminated, and you will receive one B-rank side quest and 6000 reward points.]

"Om~"

A strange sound came out after Fang Ge picked up the bracelet.

The purplish-black patterns covered the entire tomb chamber almost instantly, and the next moment, endless purple light enveloped Fang Ge...

"Damn it, God!"

"boom!"

……

"Will the teacher be alright?" Zhao Yingkong asked, a hint of worry creeping into her mind as she witnessed the terrifying explosion, which resembled purple fireworks.

"of course not."

After answering the question, Jinxi suddenly beckoned to Zhao Yingkong, signaling her to come closer. Zhao Yingkong did as she was told.

then……

"If you like something, learn to ask for it," the senior whispered, sharing their experience.

There are few truths in this world; a young girl's blush is more powerful than a long dialogue.
