Chapter 333 - The Treasures of Southern Zhou

Chapter 333: The Treasures of Southern Zhou

Song Shihui looked at the screen carefully for a long time.

Sure enough, he couldn’t see any movement in the bookstore.

It was like a black hole that swallowed everything.

Although on the surface, there seemed to be a reasonable reason.

For example, the light was too dim and the camera was blocked..

But…

As an extraordinary person, Song Shihui knew that this was not a coincidence, but an extremely high-level magic art.

It was also something that gods were best at.

Gods were experts at fooling the world!

This was something that had been clearly understood since the recovery of the spirit aura.

And this person was obviously even more brilliant.

This kind of concealment without leaving any traces had reached the level of natural perfection.

If he did not know the background of the bookstore, even if he personally came, he would not have been able to see anything unusual.

Only when he knew could he understand how terrifying this was.

That meant that the target could manipulate or even interfere with the fate of the secular world at any time and place.

Not to mention other things, as long as he wanted to do something bad.

With a single thought, he could cause a shocking disaster!

Fortunately, he still followed the rules.

He was also very arrogant!

Therefore, he did not cause a disaster. Instead, he gave a lot of benefits.

One of them was the place where he was located. With it as the core, he directly drew a 20-kilometer psionic power radiation zone.

It directly affected this year’s college entrance exam.

Thinking of this, Song Shihui looked at Xia Ping and asked, “I heard from general situ that Chief Xia has a subordinate who can contact the target regularly?”

“Yes!” Xia ping replied, “My bureau’s sergeant, an Xiaoxiao, has made many successful contacts with the target…”

“Where’s her report?” Song Shihui inquired.

“It’s ready…”Xia Ping said, “If general needs it, I’ll get someone to bring it over immediately…”

“Okay!” Song Shihui nodded.

Soon, someone brought a document and handed it to Song Shihui.

Song Shihui took it and started reading it carefully.

Finally, he put down the report in his hand.

“Cosplay!” he said, “The target seems to like and enjoy this mode!”

“OK!” Xia Ping said, “Commander-in-chief and General Situ said the same thing!”

Song Shihui sighed.

He knew that this was a dangerous place.

Cosplay was currently a flourishing culture in the federal empire and the entire world.

In the southern Zhou, a sub-culture had formed.

Every year, the southern Zhou immigrants and the local merchants of the Shang dynasty would hold various cosplay parades and sacrifices.

They would play the role of ghosts, monsters, and even ancient gods.

They would imitate the things recorded in the books.

And so…

It was very natural that they were easily taken advantage of by evil creatures.

The black-clothed guards of the southern Zhou dynasty dealt with thousands of similar cases every year.

Therefore, song Shihui was very familiar with the mentality of cosplay enthusiasts.

Those people would become addicted to it and even fall into it.

Once they fell into it, they would be dominated by the emotions of the cosplay, and they would be more likely to be taken advantage of by evil creatures.

Evil entities like the pen spirit might even be triggered by the actions of these guys.

“Connect me to the think tank…” Song Shihui said, “I want to listen to the opinions of the think tank!”

A long time ago, the Blackguard had introduced a decision-making system that was assisted by the think tank.

And every general had their own think tank.

Each think tank was good at different directions.

Situ He’s think tank was famous for its calmness and rationality.

Song Shihui’s think tank was mostly made up of elites from the southern Zhou and the southern Zhou continent.

They were best at imagination, so they could come up with many wild ideas.

This was related to the personality of the Southern Zhou people. They were located on the southern Zhou continent, backed by the northern Great Qin ocean and facing the Pacific Ocean. They also had the world’s longest river, the largest rainforest, and the most fertile farmland.

The southern Zhou people had developed a romantic personality.

Along with the immigrants from back then, they had basically migrated from the Jingchu Yangyue region.

Since ancient times, only Chu had talent.

On the other hand, the southern Zhou People’s personality was more romantic and generous.

Hence, ever since the founding of the country, the southern Zhou people had been full of literary talents and artists.

Soon, Song Shihui’s think tank came online.

It was a team of more than a dozen people.

Almost everyone had dark circles under their eyes. Apparently, they had studied all night and still hadn’t slept.

“General!” everyone greeted song Shihui.

“Thank you for your hard work!” Song Shihui said, “How’s everyone’s research going?”

A bespectacled member of the think tank said, “General, after analyzing the documents provided by General Situ’s think tank and the documents related to the headquarters of the Blackguard…”

“We all agree…”

“The target you described should be an unknown ancient god who stays in the human world with a gaming mentality…”

“If our hypothesis is correct…”

“Then… we think that this ancient god probably doesn’t care about anything in our world…”

“Just like when we play games…”

“Everything in the world…”

“People, things, flowers, and even the world itself is just a string of virtual numbers…”

“So… we’ll do whatever we want in the game. We’ll do whatever we want… If worst comes to worst, we’ll just rewind and start again…”

“Rewind?” Song Shihui asked, “What do you mean?”

The bespectacled member of the think tank laughed bitterly. “General, what I mean is that I don’t like the world anymore…”

“Just erase everything, and then go back to a certain point in time to start again…” the bespectacled member of the think tank gave a wry smile

“But, considering the status of the target, he might go even further than this!”

“What do you mean?” Song Shihui didn’t quite understand.

“General, you know about the things discovered in the archaeological world in the last hundred years, right?” asked the other party.

Song Shihui nodded.

The recovery of spirit aura had completely changed the world.

Not just now, but also in the past.

Especially in the past 100 years, people often discovered that some things that obviously didn’t belong to the ancient times would come out from the ancient tombs.

For example, someone had once found the remains of a true dragon in the ancient tombs of Jing Chu’s country.

For example, archaeologists from land of Qin had found more than ten giant human-like skeletons in the layer that should have been the Eocene epoch. After carbon-14 testing, the age of the skeletons was around 5,000 to 5,500 years ago.

However, the Eocene was tens of millions of years old!

What was worse was that after DNA testing, these seven to eight-meter-tall giant skeletons were less than 1/10,000 of the DNA of humans!

In other words, their relationship with humans might be closer than the relationship between humans and the people of Heidelberg!

Later, the scientists of land of Qin discovered something even more terrifying: They found a fragment of the genes of the Giants in the genes of the newborn babies of land of Qin..

Finally, people found the image of those giants in an ancient Greek mural, which was Titan!

The Titan race of the Olympians!

Similar things had also happened in Fu Sang and Xin Luo.

These things were collectively known as the “Mythical grade invasion.”.

People speculated that with the recovery of spirit aura, the gods would return.

The ancient myths would slowly infuse the world and eventually turn the Earth into those mythical grade worlds including the Kunlun state…

As the various mythical grade worlds were intertwined and pieced together, they formed a bizarre world.

At that time, perhaps many of the known physical rules would change.

However, the member of the think tank took a deep breath. “We speculate that he is very likely… not only a ‘player’, but also an ‘administrator’ or even a ‘programmer’…”

“In other words… If he is unhappy, he might not only rewind…”

“He might even erase us…”

“What do you mean?” Song Shihui frowned.

“We humans have never been the masters of the world…”

“How long has our history been? !”The bespectacled member of the think tank smiled bitterly. “Even if we include the mythical grade timeline, we are only a species that has lived for tens of thousands of years and died for hundreds of thousands or millions of years…”

“But before us, this world had already changed masters many times…”

“The most powerful ones are the dinosaurs…”

“They’ve thrived for 200 million years!”

“So, if he really has the ‘administrator’ or even ‘programmer’ status that I guessed…”

“Rewriting the logic and code of the world would probably only be slightly troublesome…”

“For example…”

“He swapped the fates of US humans and chimpanzees…”

“The world became a world dominated by chimpanzees…”

“The same civilization, the same city, the same country…”

“It’s just that the well-dressed ones are muscular chimpanzees…”

“And we are ignorant beasts in the jungle…”

“Playthings for chimpanzees in the zoo…”

Hearing this, Song Shihui took a deep breath. Although he did not want to admit it,.

He had to admit it.

If everything was based on the speculation of the think tank, then it was possible!

How big was the gap between humans and chimpanzees?

Was it one percent genetically?

Why did humans develop civilization and not chimpanzees?

Individual struggles were important, but one had to consider the progress of the times.

Humans, humans in the scientific sense, were actually just lucky people.

With the recovery of spirit aura, humans began to grasp the power of transcendent being.

However, at the same time, humans also began to encounter foreign species like the different types of monsters…

Then why did they take human form?

Instead of awakening humans to become demons?

This question was simply unimaginable.

Thinking about it was extremely terrifying!

Thinking of this, song Shihui said to the screen, “Please continue!”

Although his think tank was free-spirited, he had to admit that many of their ideas were true!

“So, general, according to our deduction and estimation…” the other party said, “After establishing various models, we have recommended a few different plans to you…”

“Plan A: Play along!”

He typed a written plan on the screen.

Looking at the words projected over, Song Shihui slowly thought about it.

This plan was actually very simple.

It was designed according to the characteristics of the ‘game world’.

After the think tank investigated and collected hundreds of thousands of answers from the game players, it came up with a plan.

Play along!

Everyone automatically took the perspective of a ‘civilian gamer’.

The target was a Hua Yuan warrior who spent money like water, and it was a super warrior.

Therefore, the problem was very simple.

The most important thing was that the system was satisfied!

Therefore, everyone took what they needed. The system was satisfied and gave out large amounts of money. The players received benefits, and it was time to break through and upgrade. They could even use the other party’s position to achieve the sublimation of the entire race.

The system, I’m not a human anymore!

We are all promoted to the Protoss!

Everyone is like a dragon, and the world is as beautiful as the sun!

It’s just that…

The disadvantages of this plan were very obvious.

What if he didn’t like the setting of the rich warrior at all?

Wouldn’t that be like throwing a stone at his own feet and flattering him?

Therefore, there was a second plan; their Plan B was beating around the bush.

Didn’t the target have a relative?

Very good, he could use it as a breakthrough point and constantly provide all kinds of conveniences for the target to advance quickly.

In this way, the target’s attitude and true intentions could be seen.

However, the disadvantage of this plan was that it was easy for the target to understand it as ‘interference’.

The more important fatal threat was that the target, according to all kinds of information, was not an individual.

He had a large and powerful group of guards and even slaves.

For instance, the Blackguard now had 13 banqueting witches and a leader of the Beast sect.

These people had a slave-like relationship with the target, so it was very likely that the target would have no objections.

But the things around him might have big opinions.

This was easy to understand, for there were two groups that the ancient scholars hated the most.

One was the eunuchs, and the other was the foreign relatives.

When eunuchs meddled in politics, everyone shouted for them to beat them up, and when the foreign relatives meddled in politics, they invented the idiom ‘hen in the morning’.

In this situation, once those things were angered..

The consequences might not be easy to deal with.

After all, if the target came to play in the human world, then he would have to leave sooner or later.

Once he left, the planet would immediately be exposed to the guards or servants.

The King of Hell was hard to avoid!

If he met a serious person, he would ‘accidentally’ drop a meteorite.

Who would humans cry with?

Thus, Plan D came into being.

The intention of this plan was to ‘take what one needs’.

It was to establish contact with the guards and servants around the target ancient god and to discuss the conditions.

They could all play together and make the target happy.

This way, they could cater to the target’s interests and avoid many troubles and problems.

After all, with the help of the mole, many things would be easy to do.

In spite of that, there was a big problem.

Those guards and servants probably wouldn’t think that humans were worth contacting.

This could also be found in ancient times.

A farmer ran to the scholar-official’s house and said to him, “Let’s work together to fool the Emperor. If there are benefits, let’s split it 20-80.”?

What did the scholar-official think?

How dare a commoner talk about national affairs?

Come on, beat him up!

In the eyes of the servants and guards, the status of humans might not be as great as the gap between the farmers and the scholar-official in ancient times.

Perhaps, to those things, humans were merely like ants.

Summer insects could not be spoken of as ice!

Therefore, there was no chance to even communicate and interact!

Looking at these three plans, as well as the various advantages, disadvantages, Song Shihui fell into a deep thought.
