Sequence Wars: The Mythical Age is Created by Me

When Jiang Fan woke up, it was already noon the next day.

I glanced at the game console; it's still being updated.

His aunt messaged him to ask what had happened, saying that she had seen on the internet that a major chemical plant leak had occurred in Tianhai City, and that with the outbreak of the epidemic, many streets had been affected, and the entire city had been quarantined.

Jiang Fan felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't expected that the Ninth Bureau's report to the outside world would be a chemical plant leak, but at least it wasn't a gas explosion, so it was still plausible on the surface.

It felt wonderful to be cared for by a beautiful woman. Jiang Fan rubbed his messy hair, rolled his eyes, grinned mischievously, and ran upstairs.

He fell backward, sinking into his aunt's fragrant velvet bed, snapped a selfie of himself against the ornate ceiling, and sent it to Xu He, who was far away in California.

Jiang Fan: [Don't worry, I've been training like crazy these past few days. My evasion rate is even higher than yours in the game. I haven't gotten a single hair off the chemical plant. But... Auntie, your secret base is great in every way, except you didn't think before buying furniture. You only bought a bed. I'm currently lying in your headquarters, starving to death because of the city-wide quarantine. I'm requesting a long-distance feeding from my rich boss.]

The message was sent and received a reply almost instantly, accompanied by a series of WeChat notification sounds.

Xu He: [[Rabbits startled - jpg]!!!]

Xu He: [You brat! You...you actually slept in my bed?! [Fist] [Fist]]

Xu He: [WeChat transfer: ¥25000.00]

Xu He: [WeChat transfer: ¥25000.00]

Immediately following was a voice message over fifty seconds long. Upon opening it, my aunt's voice, as melodious as a plucked string instrument, clearly carried a hint of furious embarrassment and panic: "Jiang Fan! Are you asking for it? I'll be flying back next week! [Frustrated] You better stay in your room, or I'll skin you alive if you come back with even a single hair missing!"

Seeing the bright 30,000 yuan transfer on the screen and the overflowing concern in the voice message, Jiang Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Meanwhile, in a sun-drenched California villa, a long-legged beauty with straight black hair stared in astonishment at Xu He frantically typing.

This was the first time she had ever felt such intense emotions from a woman.

"Your boyfriend is having an affair in China behind your back? Why the rush?"

Upon hearing this, Xu He immediately gave her a sharp look.

"Alright, alright, I can't afford to mess with you. After all, you're our big boss. But it's strange, the Bradford family contacted your old man before. Could that expose you?"

Xu He put down her phone. Today, she wasn't wearing those eye-catching moon earrings, letting her full head of black hair fall down, making her look incredibly radiant. Even her eyes, which reflected the long legs of the woman, seemed stunning.

"That old man is a clueless customer who only cares about business. He wouldn't know what we're doing."

"That's true... but the fact that the Pale Knight actually appeared in Skysea is quite unexpected. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any anchor point there for Him to descend, right?"

Tang Shu stretched out her legs and waist, lazily letting out a series of blood-pumping moans in this private estate.

"He appeared there on his own initiative, and the specific reason is still unclear. Now that the pinnacle of the [Knight] path has appeared, we can put some related relics up for sale at a high price recently, and the price will be much higher."

Xu He ignored his friend's teasing and instead swiped the tablet in his hand to release a bunch of pressed goods at once.

"Hey, you're in such a hurry to make money, aren't you? You want to retire from the entertainment industry with your boyfriend and live a life of just the two of you?"

Tang Shu stood up and pouted her alabaster lips.

"Alright, alright, Little Tang obeys."

Seeing Xu He's dangerous look, Tang Shu lay down listlessly.

Seeing this, Xu He could only sigh. Had sexual repression actually spread to her?

...

Jiang Fan went downstairs, ate a bowl of beef noodles, and then went to the bureau to report for duty.

Today's work involves administering vaccinations throughout the city. The health system, along with the Ninth and Eleventh Bureaus, are working together to try and resolve the impact of the epidemic as soon as possible.

Although Jiang Fan knew that the epidemic was bound to be contained, there was no God's-eye view in the ninth round, so they naturally dared not slack off in the slightest.

However, as soon as he arrived at the bureau, Wang Tianming took him to a port, along with Liu Shui.

As soon as the three arrived at the port, Jiang Fan felt a sense of familiarity.

Rias seems to have been here last night.

When he saw the cargo box that had been dented by the immense force and the ground that was cracked like a spider web, he knew that this was the Jinan Port where the "Dance of Death" had occurred last night.

"Captain Wang, you've finally arrived."

In the empty harbor, a police officer saluted Wang Tianming and then quickly led them to a secluded corner.

This was a corner formed by two metal boxes stacked together, and an extremely foul odor emanated from it, causing the group to cover their noses.

It was a black mass of flesh that had been forcibly squeezed into a "human pancake," its head severed by an extremely sharp weapon, and its body resembling that of a stray cat caught in a car wheel.

"This...is indeed an Awakened One."

Wang Tianming hesitated for a moment, but finally determined that this was an awakened one.

On the left half of the flesh, there are two overlapping palms, which are clearly skeletalized, and there are obvious white bone parts on the body of the deceased. It is impossible for the body to have decomposed to this extent if the time of death was less than one day.

"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll transfer the case to you."

After the police officers finished speaking, they left, leaving three people squatting down to examine the body.

Clothes and flesh were squeezed together, making it impossible to see the face, and there was no object that could prove the identity.

Wang Tianming and Liu Shui exchanged a glance, seemingly clueless.

"Jiang Fan, what do you think?"

So he turned his attention to the appraiser.

From the moment Jiang Fan first saw the body parts, he already knew the other party's identity: the "Headless Horseman" of the Bradford family.

Although his death was reset after the save, he still could not escape the fate of dying.

And the person who killed him is obvious.

The gray embers continued to burn from a perspective unseen by ordinary people; that was the power unleashed by the mortal knight.

"This is a Tier 3 Sequence user, but I can't see his specific identity. Perhaps with the help of other people in the department, we can figure out his identity."

"Third tier?!"

Wang Tianming and Liu Shui exchanged a shocked glance. Someone of this rank had actually died here, seemingly without any ability to fight back. The strength of the person who attacked...

"I need to report this matter and try to confirm his identity. If this is true, 200 contribution points will be credited to your account."

Wang Tianming spoke in a serious tone.

Liu Shui glanced at Jiang Fan with some envy. There were quite a few good things in the bureau now. 200 contribution points could even be exchanged for a talisman sword, which was enough to fight against a mid-grade [Civilized] monster.

"It's what I should do."

Jiang Fan spoke without saying a word, but in his heart he wondered where Rias was right now.

Is she in her rented apartment, or is she aimlessly searching for vending machines in the city?

He was very interested in that [bloodstained family secret letter], which directly corresponded to at least one valuable relic. With Rias's current strength, it shouldn't be difficult for her to retrieve it.

The key issue is that he still needs to continue developing his game characters. The gacha resources in the first chapter were really insufficient, and he can't be poor in the second chapter either.

The department quickly identified the deceased as Thompson Harry Bradford, which would have been considered a serious diplomatic incident in the past.

After all, it was a direct descendant of one of the major North American giants who died within the country. But now, Xiao Ci and other high-ranking members of the Ninth Bureau all know why Thompson came here. He offended a higher order and was killed, which was inevitable.

Jiang Fan quickly received 200 contribution points, and he casually bought a standard steel knife for 50 points and a pistol for 150 points in the internal shop.

Unlike those purely stationed personnel, he didn't even have standard weapons, only clothes and an ID tag. This steel knife was the knife provided to the special comrade, and it had a suppressive effect on the strange creatures.

As for the pistol, it was just a standard police pistol, except that it came with ten rounds of concentrated ammunition similar to the Night Watchman's.

I guess I could be considered a specialist, albeit barely.

Jiang Fan was then ordered to patrol the city with Liu Shui, where he unexpectedly stumbled upon Li Xiuyi's office.

This is a prime location within the Second Ring Road, so the existence of this firm seems somewhat out of place.

What's even more incongruous is that someone actually came in looking for Li Xiuyi to solve a problem.

"What's wrong with you?"

Liu Shui stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Jiang Fan.

"Is this reasonable? He doesn't even have a signboard, and the tables were probably dragged over from the market next door."

Jiang Fan pointed to Li Xiuyi's office and said.

"You don't understand, this is the refined taste of a master."

Liu Shui said in a pretentious manner.

"Expert my foot! He's just broke."

Jiang Fan had completely forgotten that he had forgotten to give Li Xiuyi the start-up capital, but the kid was quite promising, managing to make the business a success.

This game update is truly remarkable; it feels like some unseen force is controlling reality, allowing even high school students to open shops in international metropolises.

Jiang Fan and Liu Shui then patrolled until 10 p.m., and didn't find a single troublemaker. They were probably all unconscious from the Black Death virus and waiting to be vaccinated.

However, some stray cats and dogs were infected with the disease. They dragged their sick bodies and attacked any living creature that came near them indiscriminately. Jiang Fan had no choice but to personally send Hakimi and Bruce to Cat Planet and Dog Planet.

Finally, when Jiang Fan returned to his aunt's house, the game version had been updated.

When he turned on the game console, a brand new login screen appeared in front of him.

First, Rias's perfect model appears in the center of the screen. She holds a red-gold holy sword in one hand on her left and a gray-white spear in the other hand on her right. The sword and spear intersect on the dividing line of the screen.

Jiang Fan couldn't help but think of the background when he first started playing the first chapter on the computer, which was the clash of guns and swords.

He then clicked [Start Game], and Rias separated the gun and sword. As if opening the door to a new world, the pixels were completely replaced, and the opening animation began a completely new interpretation.

The initial scene is a rough, pixelated, stormy night.

Suddenly, a "pixel orchid" emitting a faint blue light drifted down.

The moment the orchid touched the water, the pixel space shattered like a layer of ice.

The originally lifeless pixelated rain transformed into real autumn orchids and angelica flowers fluttering in the sky.

The reflection on the water's surface is no longer a cold, square shape, but a deep, inverted, vast galaxy.

While it lacks some detail and perspective compared to realistic figures and lighting, it's still much better than a bunch of pixelated figures whose length, width, and height are indistinguishable.

Jiang Fan suddenly felt as if he had ascended from the era of the Little Tyrant to the era of the PS5 console. Everything was refreshing and the visual experience was much more comfortable.

Immediately afterwards, the thick clouds in the sky were suddenly torn apart, and a majestic phantom riding a flying dragon and accompanied by lightning flashed past in the clouds.

In the river, the water ripples even without wind, revealing the silhouette of a goddess riding a wooden boat made of cassia wood.

In the shadows of the deep mountains, accompanied by the low growls of the red leopard and the civet, a beautiful figure wearing a flower wreath appeared and disappeared.

With a crisp sound of jade shattering, all the mythical phenomena instantly subsided.

In the center of the screen, the ancient Chu Kingdom's seal script, accompanied by ink wash, slowly emerges, revealing the second chapter of the game.

【Nine Songs Divine Summoning】.

This opening animation wasn't as surprising to Jiang Fan as it was the first time, but he still felt that its exquisite production was no less than that of the first act, and even more so.

Before Jiang Fan could continue playing, a notification appeared on the game screen in front of him.

[Game Server Maintenance Notice] (Chapters 66-67)

Is the featured banner updated? Does that mean the Pale Knight will be discontinued?

However, many new professions have been added, even including sequences like [Yang Jian] and [Nezha]. The bonds between the three great traitors of Heaven are about to be complete.

Also, Rias's timeline has returned to normal, and things will happen in real time from now on. This is understandable, since the save data for the second act must be reserved for the protagonist of the second act.

In addition, two new scenes have been added: "The Top of the Tower" and "The Paranormal Investigation Agency".

The first thing should be to give the game character a chance to meet the emperor, since always listening to his innermost thoughts doesn't fully demonstrate his authority as the behind-the-scenes player.

As for the second one... well, let's just let things take their course. Maybe the game characters can go out for a get-together when they have time.

The theme of this chapter is the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and the "Songs of Chu," which seem to be the ancient Chinese mythological system, and have little connection with the Taoist and Buddhist myths of the Han Dynasty and later.

Most importantly, there's compensation for the server downtime for updates!

After reading it, Jiang Fan immediately accepted the compensation. As a flash of light appeared that blinded him, Jiang Fan saw the key number on it and immediately felt the thrill of becoming a nouveau riche.

[Key to History] x60!

Including the silver coins and parchment scrolls previously seized, there are a total of one hundred [Keys to History].

Furthermore, adding two relics will increase the summoning probability.

Jiang Fan ran straight to the bathroom and washed his hands. Then he bowed to the Kitchen God, Guanyin Bodhisattva, the God of Wealth, and so on. Finally, after hesitating for a moment, Jiang Fan bowed to himself in the mirror.

God of gacha, I give you the loyalty of someone who has never had faith before!

He then returned to his seat and opened the [Relic Retrieval] interface.

Let's draw!
