Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Without the financial support of the Hersey clan, Zuo Chang would never have been able to assemble that set of equipment!

Although they ultimately did not win.

Now face to face with the god, Zuo Chang couldn't help but ask, "God, if I don't pursue a perfect critical hit rate and instead sacrifice some critical hit rate for critical hit damage, can I clear the level?"

"You're really stubborn... Even now, you're still thinking about games?"

"Just tell me if you can or can't."

The god shook his head decisively: "No. Without full critical hit rate, there's no critical hit chance. Your crucial ultimate move will definitely not be a critical hit, and you absolutely cannot beat me."

Zuo Chang spread his hand: "What kind of design is it that it will never be a critical hit?"

"If you didn't stack up your critical hit rate, it's only natural that you won't get a critical hit at the crucial moment. You can only blame your bad luck. Besides, you guys will use things like 'Murphy's Law' to convince yourselves that I don't need to explain anything about it."

Zuo Chang wanted to refute it, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.

He shook his head: "According to you, I don't know what I should do to beat your game. It seems unsolvable."

"Hum-"

The god smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything more.

From Zuo Chang's perspective, can the game be considered completed if the final boss isn't defeated?

But in the eyes of the gods, Zuo Chang had already achieved his ultimate goal.

He was successfully chosen and arrived in the upgraded world, and successfully retrieved her original body at the border.

Seeing that she remained silent, Zuo Chang asked again, "Heavenly God, may I ask you something? Does the promise you made when you brought me here still stand?"

The god looked up: "What promise? I've forgotten."

"...So, if I stay here for twenty years, I can go back to Earth?"

"Oh, that still counts. And you'll find that twenty years here is but a blink on Earth; it's like you've had a long dream. The experience of ascending to a higher world might feel unreal to you. Heave-ho—"

The god stretched out his arm, grabbed another waffle from the table, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Zuo Chang then asked, "What is the other option? If I defeat you, can I return instantly?"

"Hmm? Hmm. That still counts. As long as you defeat me, you can return now."

"..."

Zuo Chang's gaze gradually turned sinister as he watched the unsuspecting god eating the biscuit.

The god was completely unaware and simply said, "I am, after all, a merciful god, and I will not force you to do anything. However, the reason I designed it this way is mainly because I judged that you would not attack me, so I am not worried."

Why do you think I won't make a move?

“I haven’t mistreated you; on the contrary, I’ve given you many benefits. Moreover, for you as a ‘player,’ having the opportunity to fight against evil and save the world is something you should be eager for.”

Click.

Chew.

The god ate his biscuits without paying any attention to Zuo Chang.

Zuo Chang...

Of course, I had no intention of hurting her.

If Zuo Chang had just transmigrated, he probably would have left without hesitation.

But in the two months since he arrived, Zuo Chang has developed a certain attachment to this place.

Putting everything else aside, Zuo Chang is now a Heavenly King General, and many people treat him with utmost respect, while others obey his every word! Does anyone else on Earth receive such treatment?

Even if the twenty years expire tomorrow, he probably won't choose to go back to Earth.

Anyway, life on Earth is just a fleeting moment. What's wrong with enjoying yourself here for a few more years?

Zuo Chang realized his mindset had changed and said, "You really have me wrapped around your little finger."

“It’s not me who’s manipulating you, it’s your inner desires.” The god nudged Zuo Chang’s heart with his elbow. “But there’s nothing wrong with that. Humans are born to desire. Being true to your desires is being true to yourself.”

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Zuo Chang and the Heavenly God turned their heads and saw that the door was wide open, and a group of people, led by Mu Suogen, entered the room.

It was Bai Lin, Fei Niao, Xue Qiang Wei, Zhen Yu, and Feng Gu.

Their gazes were all fixed on the black-haired, white-clad little girl sitting gracefully on Zuo Chang's lap. Bai Lin, with a hint of awe, asked, "Could this be......the little girl...?"

"It is a god."

The deity spoke first.

what--

Bai Lin nodded, but didn't seem to quite believe it.

He looked at Zuo Chang, his gaze questioning.

Zuo Chang nodded and said, "She is a goddess."

what--

It's a god.

To be honest, the current form of the Heavenly God is not exactly the same as what Bai Lin and the others imagined; in fact, it is completely different.

Big eyes, black pupils, short stature, fair skin.

The person in Zuo Chang's arms looked more like a pretentious little devil than a god.

"Could the general have been deceived?"

Chapter 286 Weaving Fate and Unilateral Influence

Is it possible that the Heavenly King General was deceived?

Or perhaps they were under a spell, causing a cognitive distortion?

Bai Lin, Fei Niao, and Xue Qiang Wei exchanged glances, all realizing one thing—

The little girl in front of me is definitely not a strong person.

Moreover, there are sculptures of gods all over the world, but none of them are depicted as young girls!

As the only remaining male senior executive in Zuo Chang's team, Bai Lin felt he should step up and take responsibility at this moment.

He stepped forward and asked, "General, and... the Heavenly God. Heavenly God, as the greatest god of all time, could you perhaps show us a little of your power so we can behold your divine might?"

The god looked up: "Don't you believe I'm a god?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, I just want to broaden my horizons."

The god looked at Bai Lin, his pure gaze filled with undisguised displeasure.

Despite the pressure, Bai Lin did not withdraw the invitation.

"Never mind, you are Zuo Chang's subordinate after all, it is your duty to question my identity, I can understand."

Snapped!

The goddess clasped her hands together, her jet-black eyes turning crimson. She stared directly at Bai Lin: "In my current form, I've lost most of my abilities, except for 'Weaving of Fate'! Now, I'll use this move to prove my identity to you!"

Pure white divine power erupted at this moment!

The next instant, Bai Lin vanished abruptly, disappearing without a trace.

Before anyone could ask a question, the deity raised his hand again and projected the image onto the wall of the room.

Zuo Chang turned his head and saw that the room on the projection was the same room they were standing in. The room's furnishings in the image were exactly the same as in reality.

The people in the image are also the people in the room, the only difference being that there are white scales in the projection, but they no longer exist in reality.

"This……"

Mayumi frowned, looking rather disoriented.

She pointed to herself standing still in the picture and asked, "Is that me?"

Zuo Chang didn't know the answer and remained silent.

"Everyone, what's wrong with you?"

At the same time, Bai Lin's voice rang out from the screen.

He spread his hands, clearly the one who was most confused about what had happened: "Ms. Mayumi, and... everyone. What's wrong with you? Why are you all suddenly silent?"

No one paid any attention to him.

Bai Lin looked at Zuo Chang and tentatively called out, "General Tianwang?"

In the scene, Zuo Chang looks up and says, "It's Bai Lin! The weather is really nice today!"

"...Are you alright?"

Bai Lin continued to ask questions.

In the video, Zuo Chang looks up again: "It's Bai Lin! The weather is really nice today!"

It’s over.

The Heavenly King General has gone mad.

Bai Lin couldn't tell if Zuo Chang was really stupid or pretending. He turned to Blood Rose and asked, "Chief Rose, what's wrong with the Heavenly King?"

Blood Rose stroked her chin and muttered to herself, "The recruitment progress is not bad, but the training of personnel is really lagging behind... Sigh, it will probably take at least three more months for my men to become combat-ready."

what?

Is this the crux of the problem now?

Bai Lin felt like he was going crazy!

He looked left and right, finally fixing his gaze on the god: "God, what's going on?"

The god stared blankly: "Meat. I want to eat meat."

"??"

Hard.
