I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 604 You Want Supernatural Powers (36)

Sitting cross-legged on the spot, Chen Yu began to recall the situation of the last reincarnation and tried to glean more information from it.

Based on previous experience, the conditions for restarting the cycle of reincarnation are either that Zhou has been involved, or that he has aroused suspicion from Xiang or that Zhou has fallen into a coma.

To test it, Chen Yu stood by the bushes and silently counted. When he reached 114, the bushes began to sway, and Zhou emerged from them. Seeing Chen Yu, she asked in surprise, "Yu, you're here..."

After a muffled thud, Zhou was knocked unconscious by Chen Yu's punch.

Looking at the unconscious boy, Chen Yu continued counting, but the dream did not restart, which meant that as long as Zhou was alive, there was no problem.

He hoisted the other person onto his shoulder and charged into the woods, running wildly towards his destination. He arrived at the settlement in just ten minutes.

Chen Yu placed Zhou in front of the elephant's corpse and said to the body, "Elephant, I'm back. Zhou fainted on the way, and I don't know what happened."

The elephant's eyes began to spin, its unfocused gaze devoid of life or emotion.

Staring at Chen Yu ahead, he asked coldly, "Why are you lying?"

The familiar feeling returned, an invisible hand grasped his primordial spirit, and a mysterious power seemed to be searching through his memories, but the next moment it sent him back to his original position.

After confirming that he was back, Chen Yu thought for a while and felt that this job was a bit troublesome.

I did nothing wrong, yet I had to restart four times. This is an insult.

Since that's the case, then I won't be a gentleman anymore!

He bypassed the dense forest, ignoring the elephant that suddenly appeared, and charged straight into the settlement, where he smashed the elephant's carcass to pieces.

Unfortunately, after the other person's body exploded into fireworks, he returned to the same spot.

"Hmm...it seems that beating the opponent up won't advance the plot. But that elephant looks like it's someone I can communicate with, so how about I have a proper conversation with it next time? But before I do, I'll beat it up a few more times and see if I can get anything out of it."

According to Chen Yu's understanding of the cultivation method, each time he experiences a surge of positive emotions, he suffers greatly, with the entire process taking at least ten years and having no upper limit.

Now that I've finally found a place where I can interact with people, I might as well explore it further and release some of my pent-up frustration.

Once this thought crossed Chen Yu's mind, he realized that this wasn't torture at all, but rather a vacation.

The thought of taking a holiday suddenly makes me feel like the world is vast and boundless.

Teacher Zhao is right, I, Chen Yu, am a boy who likes to fight at heart.

Having been tormented to this point, I'm already feeling a bit depressed. I might as well take this opportunity to have a good fight and vent my frustrations.

In ancient times, there were countless strange things.

Here you'll find sturdy insects, strange writing, elephants that grow stronger after death, and perhaps even more unseen things waiting to be encountered.

With such a great opportunity, there's absolutely no need to push the main storyline; let's just have some fun first.

Besides, just fighting will get boring quickly, so why not design a performance-based gameplay mode for yourself, such as a speedrun mode and an achievement mode?

He can join the record for the fastest end of the cycle, the record for the fastest double kill, and even try to see how far he can run.

This is actually an open world, and I am the only player. I can have a good time here.

Looking back now, he has indeed been too busy lately and hasn't played Dreamland for a long time. Now is a good opportunity.

Thinking this through, Chen Yu was no longer in a hurry. Ignoring Zhou, who was about to appear, he raised his fist and began his fighting journey.

Smash any bugs you see, smash any words you see, smash any strange beasts you see.

If you can't fight physical attacks, use the skills of Wenchang Xingjun (the God of Literature). Knowledge is power, and here it becomes a divine skill to destroy everything.

After all, the average person here is illiterate, even in writing, so you can still fight and beat them up.

Unfortunately, if the fight goes on for too long, it will trigger a mechanism that will cause his consciousness to become blurred again, and then he will return to the original spot.

This usually takes three hours, but for Chen Yu, that's enough time to beat up everything he sees and fully vent his desire to destroy everything.

Moreover, one can organize one's knowledge here, and consolidate and improve the foundation-building methods taught by Teacher Zhao.

He just kept hitting them hard, completely immersed in the exhilarating feeling of beating up everything around him, and completely forgot what the world was.

You have to hit the stones that pass by, the trees that pass by, the rivers that pass by, and even the two white clouds in the sky that are showing their affection for each other.

They'll fight the universe, they'll fight the elephants, and they'll even fight those four guys in the settlement who are called East, West, South, and North—they'll fight anyone they see.

He fought so fiercely that the sky darkened and the sun and moon lost their light, and each thing was beaten an average of thousands of times.

As a new cycle began, Chen Yu did some quick calculations and found that everyone else had been beaten 9,100 times, but Xiang had only been beaten 9,099 times, just one more time away.

He dodged the elephant in the bushes and strode into the settlement. Just as he was about to kill the elephant in front of him, he saw the corpse actually stand up.

Facing Chen Yu, the corpse said wearily, "I'm scared of you. Let's sit down and have a proper chat."

At first, Chen Yu thought the other party was a new monster and was preparing to farm some achievements, but then he realized that it was an elephant talking to him.

With a regretful sigh, Chen Yu shook his head and said, "I've entered the main storyline, and suddenly it feels so boring."

"...You're a complete lunatic. Isn't killing me nine thousand and ninety-nine times enough?"

"Actually, I was planning to kill you 10,000 times to make it a round number... Wait, do you know I've killed you so many times?"

“Hmm.” The corpse nodded with exaggerated movements. “I am the elephant, the recorder of all things, responsible for recording all information here, so I know how many times you have killed us. Although I don’t know why, I don’t want to be killed anymore.”

Pointing to the top of Chen Yu's head, he continued, "Not only that, I can also see the messages from other elephants. Their thoughts before they died are reflected on your forehead, allowing me to learn something through the 9,099 messages from me. Moreover, I also know that we don't actually exist; we're just a record."

Chen Yu was quite surprised by the other party's wisdom.

If a mere record is so magical, then what must the original stories of these legends be like?

Sitting down in front of the elephant, Chen Yu asked, "I'd like to know, what era are we in now?"

"I don't know, because I can only say it's happening now. I can only see what's been recorded, but you're not from this world, so there are many things I can't see."

"I see... Anyway, I've had my fun, and it's about time I left. Do you know what I want?"

Although it's a strange question, it's understandable.

Looking at the top of Chen Yu's head, Xiang stared for a moment, then said, "Supernatural power, what you want is supernatural power."
