HPDBC Chapter 499 No, is she serious?
Chapter 499 No, is she serious?
Oro cursed the entire Saros clan in his mind once again.
He could simply leave, but that would make it seem like he was afraid.
"Let's each take a step back?" Chen You laughed.
He stretched out his right hand, his slender fingers tapping casually twice in mid-air.
"When you ordered the focus of fire on me, why didn't you suggest we each take a step back?"
Chen You chuckled, "Fireball, Ice Spike, Wind Blade, Shadow Bolt... all that fancy stuff is getting in my eyes."
Oro took a deep breath, suppressing the anger rising within him.
It was clearly my side that suffered the most heavy losses!
What's the big deal if it disturbs your eyes?
"You're unharmed, aren't you?"
"So I didn't die, and this matter is over?" Chen You raised an eyebrow.
The implication is: If you lay a hand on me, you have to take responsibility for your actions.
"What do you want?" Auro asked, his face darkening.
The ruby at the tip of the staff gleamed with a dangerous light.
"Pay up the money," Chen You uttered.
The sea became quiet instantly.
Even the casual players who were still fighting for equipment stopped what they were doing and looked up in astonishment at Chen You on the back of the Kun.
Moon Arrow turned his head, a hint of doubt flashing in his cool eyes.
She didn't quite understand why Chen You would make such a...cliché request.
Aren't you supposed to be super rich? You still want money?
"What...did you say?" Oro thought he had misheard.
"Can't you understand human language?" Chen You sighed, looking at him like he was illiterate. "Compensation for emotional distress, equipment wear and tear, and the environmental remediation costs for the sea area you just polluted."
"Let's settle for cash."
Oro laughed angrily: "You're blackmailing me?"
Chen You ignored him and turned to Moon Arrow: "Guild Leader Moon, has the Roman God Clan always been this arrogant?"
Moon Arrow paused for a second, then cooperatively said, "The Roman Shadow Guild has always lacked manners."
This seemingly casual remark was far more damaging than Chen You's sarcastic remark.
Oro stared intently at the Moon Arrow, then glanced at the purple arcs of electricity dancing on Chen You's fingertips.
"How much do you want?" Auro gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words.
Chen You stroked his chin.
"I'm not greedy," Chen You said, holding up three fingers. "Three hundred thousand gold coins."
"Three hundred thousand?!" Oro nearly snapped his staff in two.
"You might as well just rob it!"
"Isn't that what I'm doing right now?" Chen You said matter-of-factly.
Oro's chest heaved violently.
He stared intently at Chen You, trying to find a trace of bluff on the other's face.
But Chen You was too calm, so calm that it sent chills down one's spine.
Chen You sighed softly, just as he was about to show off his skills again, when a message suddenly appeared in the corner of his field of vision.
[Team] Lin Miao: Team Leader Chen, return to Baiyujing immediately!
Chen You's heart skipped a beat.
Something happened in the real world?
"Three thousand at most..." Oro began to haggle.
"Everyone, we'll settle this matter later," Chen You said in a low voice. "I have other important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
Moon Arrow paused slightly.
She could sense that the man's aura had suddenly changed.
"Okay." Moon Arrow nodded in agreement.
Without wasting any words, Chen You directly chose to teleport back to Baiyujing.
The Moon Arrow fell lightly to the ground.
Oro stood there, stunned, suddenly at a loss.
……
In the central square of "Baiyujing" in the Qinling Mountains, beams of searchlights swept across the area.
The massive radar array was operating at overcapacity, and the mechanical bearings emitted a screeching sound.
Li Guoan, wearing a black overcoat, stood in the center of the square.
Zhang Yunhai, Sun Feng, and several core think tank members surrounded him.
Each person held a tactical tablet in their hand, the screen's glow reflecting the taut lines of their jaws.
Lin Miao stood alone to the side, maintaining a standing posture.
A flash of white light appeared, and Chen You's figure materialized.
Chen You was taken aback when he was surrounded as soon as he appeared.
"What happened?"
He looked around but found no signs of damage.
Li Guoan did not respond.
He raised his right hand, which was holding half a cigarette, and pointed to the top of his head.
Chen You looked up following Li Guoan's finger.
The night sky... has changed.
The Qinling night sky, which should have been dotted with stars, was now abruptly missing a large section.
At the top of the troposphere directly above the base, a huge, slowly rotating halo appeared.
The edge of the aperture showed a dark purple energy band, while the interior was an absolute, bottomless black.
The surrounding clouds were pulled by an invisible gravitational force, forming a huge funnel-shaped cyclone.
The light is severely distorted near the aperture, causing all the starlight in sight to be misaligned.
No sound.
The scene was eerily quiet.
Chen You swallowed hard and moved half a step behind Li Guoan.
"Director Li, what's that?"
"It appeared about two hours ago." Sun Feng pushed up his glasses and looked down at the data on his tablet.
"We were unable to contact you, so we waited here until Comrade Lin Miao arrived, at which point we asked her to contact you immediately."
Sun Feng's slender fingers slid rapidly across the screen, bringing up a three-dimensional energy fluctuation diagram.
"Real-time information has been transmitted back from the space station: the energy reading directly above Baiyujing has exceeded the threshold."
"The gravitational wave detector has captured continuous, regular frequency pulses."
"This is not a naturally formed celestial phenomenon; it is a man-made passage."
Chen You stared at the dark purple vortex, his mind racing.
Then, the figure of the girl who had transformed into a stream of data flashed past beneath the Five Finger Mountain.
"Is it that invincible beautiful girl?" Chen You's eyes widened, and his voice rose two octaves.
"At present, it seems to be her most likely," Zhang Yunhai chimed in, his arms crossed, his muscles bulging as he put on his tactical vest.
"The other party not only has the ability to interfere with the underlying logic of the game, but now also has the means to cross dimensions and directly interfere with the laws of physical reality."
Chen You gasped and pointed at the halo in the sky.
"She went through all that trouble just to come down and cultivate with me? Don't you guys think that's absurd?"
Chen You looked around. "I'm just a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. What merit do I have to warrant a higher-dimensional being crossing the stars and oceans to sleep with me?"
"Comrade Chen You, please correct your wording." Social relations expert Pan Yu stepped forward, his expression as serious as if he were giving an academic report.
"After an emergency analysis, our think tank has scientifically deconstructed the concept of 'dual cultivation'."
Chen You was stunned.
Pan Yu opened the folder in her hand, pulled out a sheet of paper covered with formulas, and handed it to Chen You.
"We infer that the 'dual cultivation' mentioned by higher-dimensional beings is not a reproductive behavior in the biological sense of humans." Pan Yu spoke very quickly, but still enunciated clearly.
"It's a deep interaction and permission sharing at the data level."
"Your cultivation technique is a unique piece of gibberish in the Origin Realm. She needs to resonate with your energy field at a high frequency to decipher the underlying logic of this code."
Chen You looked at the densely packed formulas on the sheet of paper and felt a little dizzy.
Speak like a human.
Sun Feng looked up and said succinctly, "She wants to treat you like an external USB drive, plug you into her motherboard, and forcibly copy your core data."
Chen You's face turned pale.
"So he's still sleeping with me! Just in a more cyberpunk way!"
