Chapter 992: Chapter 467: 3 Buildings! _2
The mining truck kicked up dust as it drove toward the Truth Mine.
Lines of faint text shimmered in the air:
âThe new mining robot is equipped with learning and AI upgrade capabilities, able to gradually enhance mining efficiency and even perform other tasks.â
ââThe mining robots seemed to have undergone an upgrade, digging faster and better than ever.
What about the Truth Cannon?
Shen Ye continued looking at the following notification:
âThe Truth Cannon has completed its evolution.â
âYour pupils are imbued with the power of âDisorder,â forcing the blood-based entries of anything defeated by you to be stripped away, consumed, and assimilated.â
âThis process is stealthy and cannot be detected by the target.â
âWhile the Parasitic Empress remains in a dormant state, she also cannot perceive this activity.â
âCreating a cannon requires 100 resource points.â
It was undoubtedly designed with precision!
As for resources, they could be obtained by mining the Truth Mine nearby.
What interested Shen Ye most right now wasâ
Consuming?
He waited quietly for a moment.
Once the mining resources reached 100 points, he glanced out the window at the personnel from the security bureau.
Pupil Technique·Truth Disorder!
In an instant.
Faint glowing text appeared:
âPlease note, you can only consume beings defeated by your own hand!â
Of course.
This condition hadnât been met.
A defeated foeâŠ
Shen Ye stood up, walked to the mirror, and slapped himself across the face.
In the next moment.
He instantly felt as though something new had emerged within himself. Uncontrollably, his gaze lifted upward.
As his eyes scanned, he saw the âBlood Wasteâ entry beginning to slowly transform.
So thatâs how it worked!
Consumed blood-related entries could alter his own entries!
Faint glowing text immediately appeared:
âYou have defeated yourself.â
âPupil Technique·Truth Disorder successfully activated; your entry âBlood Wasteâ has been consumed!â
âCongratulations.â
âYou have obtained a new entry: âTrashâ.â
âDescription: Thereâs nothing worth describing.â
âThe only point of note is that your entry alteration will not be detected.â
The words âTrashâ hovered above him.
There really wasnât much to say about it.
Butâ
From this moment onward, he was free from the control of the Parasitic Empress!
She hadnât noticed!
Remaining undetected was the crux of the matter.
âSo, is all of this designed to help me save people?â
Shen Ye murmured to himself.
He pushed open the door and walked out, looking at the Professionals on guard in the yard.
âKid, go to sleep now, Uncleâs got it covered.â
One of the Professionals said kindly.
âUncle, are you a colleague of my dad?â Shen Ye asked curiously.
âYes, I often drink and play cards with your father. Today, I even congratulated him when I heard theyâd found you.â The Professional replied.
Shen Yeâs expression sharpened, and he spoke again:
âUncle, do you think ambush counts as a form of combat?â
âOf course, ambush is a type of strategy, commonly used in battle.â The Professional responded earnestly.
The flash of a blade.
The Professional from the security bureau was caught off guard; Shen Ye slashed lightly at his wrist, the skin barely cut open, with no bleeding.
ââThe wound was too shallow.
Shen Ye glanced at him.
Faint glowing text immediately surfaced:
âYou have defeated the opponent.â
âPupil Technique·Truth Disorder successfully activated; the opponentâs entry âBlood Workerâ has been consumed!â
âCongratulations.â
âYou have obtained a new entry: âLittle Trashâ.â
âDescription: Though trash, itâs somewhat endearing.â
ââAffinity increased.â
âThis consumption and alteration will not be detected.â
Undetected.
Thatâs what mattered most!
Shen Ye watched the Professional, who seemed entirely oblivious to the loss of his entry, showing surprise on his face as he raised a thumb and said:
âNot bad, kid, your sword techniques are impressive!â
âYou flatter me, Uncle.â
Shen Ye replied.
As the words fell.
The Professional suddenly froze in place.
Having lost his entry, he sank into a momentary stupor.
This was a disturbance on a spiritual level.
It would take some time for him to fully recover.
Shen Ye ceased conversing with him, instead returning to the room and finding Zhao Xiaochang in the living room.
âMom.â
âWhy arenât you asleep yet? Go to bed quickly!â Zhao Xiaochang said in bewilderment.
âMom, look over there.â Shen Ye pointed outside the window.
As Zhao Xiaochang turned her headâ
Blade flashed.
A few strands of Zhao Xiaochangâs hair were severed.
âYou have defeated the opponent.â
âThe power obtained by consuming âLittle Trashâ is insufficient for evolution. Please consume more entries.â
âThis consumption and alteration will not be detected.â
Zhao Xiaochang remained completely unaware.
She turned back and said in confusion: âWhat was I supposed to see? Thereâs nothing outside.â
âItâs late; you should sleep soon as well.â
With those words, Shen Ye left the living room and returned to his own room.
He opened a bottle of drink, sipping as he began to reflect.
ââThe instant strategic base evolution was effective.
It could indeed save people.
But the efficiency was far too lowâŠ
There were billions of people in the world.
If he had to ambush them one by one, how long would it take?
What if the Parasitic Empress woke up? Wouldnât that be the end?
Shen Ye glanced at his base.
âResources: 2700.â
âPopulation: 6/25 (Mining Robots).â
âTime Flow Ratio: Three months exchanged for one day.â
âEvolution Task:â
âComplete 300 Truth Cannon shots to unlock the third building.â
ââPerhaps the third building could resolve his predicament.
Thenâ
Letâs begin completing 300 shots!
As Shen Ye was thinking this, he suddenly noticed an unusual silence.
He walked out and looked around, finding the surrounding Professionals all wearing vacant expressions.
ââAs if they were under control.
Two lines of glowing text emerged:
âAlthough the Parasitic Empress remains dormant and cannot perceive your actions, all those under her control, as entry holders, will instinctively launch an attack against you.â
