The ever-changing star starts with a rice cooker.

Chapter 98 The Toad Man (4,000 words)

"Hey, hey, hey, Xiao Du, please answer, have you seen a monster?"

Inside the armored vehicle, one could occasionally hear Bing Xiaomei and the others chatting.

There were even a few from No. 2 Middle School. Ning Du knew that werewolf Xiao Cheng, but the other party didn't seem to like him very much.

Ning Du was speechless that a simple guardian mission was being handled like a spring outing.

The armored vehicle slowly cruised along the pre-set route, and the entire city remained quiet.

Ningdu gradually relaxed.

So this is what the Guardian mission is all about? It's not that great.

It seems he was just scaring himself.

Yes, it really could be extremely dangerous, a real crisis.

Why would I even think of these backup guardians? They were just brought in as temporary workers.

"Fatty, wake me if you find any monsters from another dimension. I'm going to close my eyes and rest for a bit!"

"Okay, Brother Ning, no problem, Brother Ning!"

Only Fatty Wang was extremely enthusiastic; he couldn't sit still, looking around everywhere and talking nonsense on his communicator.

He seems more like a guardian.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Team Leader Lin and his men, fully armed, ventured deeper into the fog.

What appears to be an urban cultural park is actually a place where armored vehicles drove in and couldn't get out for a full half hour.

Even though there was a straight road right in front of me, I kept driving and suddenly I had no idea where I was.

Only the tall trees on both sides remain, which are clearly not trees from Yizhou City.

"Something's happened. This spatial rift has altered spatial distances, creating overlapping spaces. We're currently exploring it."

Team Leader Lin remained calm and then spoke to the team members behind him.

"Don't go any further, it's overlapping space. Let's fire one shot first!"

"Yes, Captain!"

After he finished speaking, a huge cannon barrel was revealed on the armored vehicle.

The blue energy liquid inside emitted a mesmerizing light.

"Ready, fire!"

With a loud bang, everything around them creased up like a canvas.

This move is called "Bomb the evil spirits".

I don't care what you are, let's have a go first.

As expected, even the most powerful stacked space cannot compare to a large energy cannon.

It's like a ghost on a grave encountering an army; a volley of bullets will send any ghost to its next life.

"Stop! Spatial rift detected. Watch your surroundings, there's an energy aggregate!"

Team Leader Lin ordered the armored vehicle to stop, and the guards got out to observe.

What came into their view was a spatial rift that resembled an eye; it was still contracting and trembling, as if it were alive.

Seemingly quite frightened by the previous blast, it was surrounded by swarms of blue energy aggregates.

In other worlds, they might be called ghosts, eerie beings, or undead.

Team Leader Lin casually pulled out a large megaphone and started shouting at the energy entity.

"Warning, warning. You have entered another world. This world does not welcome energy beings. You may surrender immediately. On behalf of this world's government, I will treat you well and may even send you back. Resistance is pointless. You beings who don't even have physical bodies should not harbor any illusions. Surrender quickly, this is your only chance! Surrender immediately!"

Just as Team Leader Lin finished shouting, these blue energy bodies suddenly changed.

Then one by one they began to emit light, and the world around them trembled like waves.

Before long, the original road and spatial rift disappeared.

What comes into view next is a bustling ancient market.

Lanterns, vendors' cries, acrobatics, beggars.

The crowd grew larger and larger, enveloping them.

"An illusion!"

"No, it's a ghost realm!"

"Look, there's a plaque up there!"

A huge archway for the third-ranked scholar rose from the ground, and blood-red characters began to appear on both sides of the archway.

"The town is eerie and secluded, once bustling with merchants and lined with shops, and located in the heart of the underworld, connecting to the nine hells."

"The tombstones gleam, and the tide of corpses gathers. The eerie wind blows without silence, and the name is known throughout the Yellow Springs and the Ghost Realm."

In the middle are four large characters: "Leave your life behind".

Team Leader Lin and the others fell silent for a moment.

A moment later, Team Leader Lin took out his communicator again and said, "Warning. Disaster level upgraded! Disaster level upgraded! Unusual spatial invasion! Unusual spatial invasion! Energy entities are changing physical matter, showing traces of world laws! Disaster level thirteen! Level thirteen!"

Zizizi!

A crackling sound of electricity suddenly came from inside the armored vehicle on the Ningdu side.

Fatty Wang slapped it a few times, and the static finally disappeared.

"This piece of junk isn't very reliable either, even the Guardians' stuff isn't very good."

Ning Du frowned slightly. He had a feeling that the static sound was someone talking, and he was about to pick up the communicator to ask.

Suddenly, Fatty Wang noticed something and shouted repeatedly.

"Brother Ning, look! Aren't those monsters from another dimension? Look!"

Ning Du quickly looked closely. Sure enough, he saw a group of dark figures slip into a restaurant on the side of the street.

They didn't walk; instead, they floated in. They didn't look like ordinary humans at all.

"Yes, that's it. Let's go, let's take down the monster from another dimension."

Finally, I've found my target.

Ning Du and Fatty Wang got out of the car immediately.

Fatty Wang took the energy gun, released the safety, and switched it to level three.

Ningdu then transforms into a rice cooker and twists its waist.

"Enter!"

The two pushed open the door and entered. "Little monster from another dimension, are you ready to die?!"

As soon as they entered, the two of them froze.

The restaurant, which should have been empty, is now full of customers.

The room was brightly lit, and waiters and the owner moved back and forth.

"What's going on?"

"Didn't they already say they weren't allowed to open for three days? Shouldn't we call the city management to report this?"

"Never mind that, let's find the monster from another dimension first."

The two men scanned the customers and immediately noticed many flaws.

The people here don't seem like normal people at all!

Some people were eating noodles with their noses, while others were performing juggling acts while sitting on tables.

There are even people who eat and their heads fall off! Hey, hey, hey, your head fell off, and a kid kicked it away!

Ning Du's eyes widened, and Fatty Wang whispered, "Brother Ning, something's not right here."

Ning Du nodded heavily.

Fatty Wang continued, "They don't even dip their dumplings in soy sauce."

Ning Du turned to look at Fatty Wang. "So that's all you found?"

"Isn't this bizarre enough?"

Fatty Wang exclaimed in surprise.

Ning Du was about to grab his helmet and show him the one who had lost his head.

At this moment, the shop owner actually walked over, looking at the two with a big smile and saying, "Gentlemen, what would you like to eat? We have a rule that you must order food before you come in, and you can't leave your food unclean."

Ning Du was about to answer when he saw blood-red characters appearing on the restaurant wall.

"Rule One: You must order food before you enter. Rule Two: You must finish all the food you order!"

Ning Du's pupils contracted as he looked.

law?

What does that mean?

Does he have to follow the rules here?

Ning Du couldn't help but ask, "What if I don't order any food?"

The shop owner laughed and replied, "Then your head will explode."

After he finished speaking, all the diners in the restaurant stopped and stared at Ning Du and Wang Li with chilling eyes.

Wang Li felt a little intimidated by the stares and quickly found a table to sit down.

"Let's order! I'll order!"

Ning Du crossed his arms and looked at the boss.

"A headshot? You think you can blow my head off? Who do you think you are?!"

The boss let out a sinister laugh.

"The power of the laws does not permit you to disobey. If you're not going to order, then die! Explode!"

The shop owner said "Buy!"

The rice cooker in Ningdu really did explode.

With a bang, the lid was opened, and rice exploded all over the floor.

Ning Du was stunned, Wang Li was stunned, and the shop owner was also stunned on the spot.

It was a headshot, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of headshot.

Ning Du is furious!

You really dare to explode the rice in this rice cooker!

I think you've got some nerve, not treating your rice cooker like a guardian!

"Power amplification, the rice cooker's divine punch!"

Ning Du roared and punched the shop owner in the head.

In an instant, the shop owner flashed with blue light, then collapsed to the ground, turning into specks of light.

"Holy crap, it's a monster from another dimension!"

"Fatty, start the killing!"

Rice cooker bounces, double-blade rice cooker whirlwind slash!

As soon as the knife flashed, none of the diners present could escape.

Wang Li fired wildly, two shots to the chest and one to the head. Every shot from Wang Li was aimed at the head; none of them were going to escape.

There was resistance, some lunging forward to bite, others trying to penetrate Ning Du's body with some kind of blue light.

Is that even possible, bro?

One slash, one kill. Let's see if you can pounce faster or my blade can!

In just a few minutes, Ning Du and Fatty Wang had wiped out the entire place.

I have to say, Fatty Wang has a really good attitude.

He wasn't afraid at all as they killed him; he was still yelling and screaming.

"Awesome, so awesome! Any more? Any more?"

Ning Du finally walked to the wall, looked at the so-called laws, gave the middle finger, and then the entire hotel changed like ripples on water, and all the original gorgeous decorations disappeared.

Instead, it resembled the small restaurant that Ning Du and his friends were familiar with.

"That's more like it, why bother with illusions! The Guardian quest is pretty simple."

"

"Brother Ning, there are so many lights on the ground!"

"Really? Let me see!"

Looking in the direction Wang Li was pointing, there really were spots of light scattered all over the ground.

Ning Du had just picked one up when he immediately felt the light point transform into a warm current that entered his body.

Ok?

Suddenly, Ning Du could clearly feel the warm current flowing through his body, reaching the very core of his world.

Then the core of the world seemed to shine even brighter!

At the same time, Ning Du's own world power also began to increase slightly.

What is that?

Can it enhance my world's core and world power?

This is great stuff!

Ningdu quickly picked up a few more, and sure enough, they all had the same effect. This trip was really worth it!

"Fatty, this is good stuff. Don't waste it, don't miss a single one."

Ningdu shouted repeatedly.

Fatty Wang picked one up and examined it closely in front of him.

"Really? What's so good about it?"

"This will boost global influence!"

Ning Du just said something that boosted the world's power.

Fatty Wang actually threw it directly into his mouth.

"Crunch, crunch!" Fatty Wang grinned and said, "Not very tasty. It's hard on my teeth!"

Ning Du grabbed his neck.

"Are you crazy? You eat everything and then throw it all up. You might die."

Fatty Wang forced himself to swallow it.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm going to awaken!"

Fatty Wang spread his arms wide, as if roaring at the injustice of fate.

Then----

Then he fell straight down to the ground with a thud.

"Oh no, Brother Ning, help me—"

Fatty Wang was foaming at the mouth, and his whole body seemed to be turning blue and purple.

Ning Du is speechless. Are you deliberately messing with me?

Helpless, Ning Du had no choice but to quickly carry him back to the car. Picking up the communicator, she said, "Hello, hello, is anyone there? Wang Li swallowed something he shouldn't have, and he seems to be dying. Is anyone coming to save him? Hello!"

After calling out a few more times, it seemed that the communicator was also broken, and only a buzzing electrical sound could be heard from it.

What bad luck! I don't know if it's just their communicator that's broken, or if everyone else's is the same.

Ningdu shouted at the armored vehicle, "Emergency! Change course! Return to Guardian Tower!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"What are you going back to Guardian Tower for, quack!"

Ning Du was startled and turned around to see that Wang Pangzi had taken off his combat uniform at some point.

At the same time, his body also changed, and his head turned into the familiar shape of a toad.

Its body was still changing, but it still looked like a toad.

"Are you alright?"

Ning Du inquired.

Wang Li looked at himself and replied, "Looks like I've been contaminated again. Oh well, I'm used to it, it's okay."

"are you sure?"

Ning Du felt that Wang Li's current state was not like pollution, because this time Wang Li turned into a toad, and he was so much like a toad that he had no human characteristics at all.

"It should be confirmed. Brother Ning, give me another point of light, I'll give it a try. I feel like I'm just one step away from awakening."

"Try it my ass!"

Ning Du wouldn't give him any credit.

Wang Li said anxiously, "Give it to me, give it to me, don't be so stingy, quack!"

As he spoke, there was a loud crack, and Ning Du ripped the lid off his rice cooker.

Ning Du glared at him again: "Did you have this much strength when you were contaminated last time?"

Wang Li shook his head, looking completely bewildered. "No!"

"Take a deep breath, exhale slowly, then take another deep breath. Feel inside your body; is there a light? Circulate it, can you find it?"

Ning Du immediately instructed Wang Li to begin the breathing technique.

Wang Li tried it out and then exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, yes, yes! It really is! No way, I've really awakened! I have world power! Hahahaha, quack! Quack!"

Ning Du started covering his face with the rice cooker, wanting to see when Fatty Wang would realize what he had awakened.

Fatty Wang raised his toad hand and cheered for a while before he realized what was happening.

"Brother Ning, have I awakened the toad transformation?! Oh my god, I've turned into a toad!"

Ning Du then spoke to comfort him.

"It's not that scary. You look more like a frog!"

"Isn't that the same?"

Fatty Wang started touching himself, trying to figure out how to turn back.

But after trying for a while, he found it didn't work. He had no choice but to ask Ning Du again, "Brother Ning, how did you change back?"

'

Ning Du suddenly had a bad feeling and asked him softly, "Did you feel the world power being depleted after you transformed? Even just a little bit, or even just a slow one, would be fine."

Fatty Wang carefully examined it.

"No! Does that mean my transformation is so awesome that it doesn't even require consuming world power?"

Ning Du continued, covering his face with his hands, and then said, "This means you might have been permanently transformed."

"Quack?"

Fatty Wang was struck by lightning and permanently transformed?

Isn't that even worse than Ning Ge's situation?

He's really turned into a toad!
