Chapter 29 – Task completed
The desolate and dilapidated buildings stood in stark contrast to the bustling surroundings, with many of the shops constructed in peculiar ways.
For example, between two streets, there was a restaurant with entrances on both sides, allowing pedestrians to walk through the middle while diners sat on either side.
Another example was an internet cafe set up in a half-demolished mud villa, with many parts looking precarious, relying on a wooden ladder for access, making it quite challenging. It always made people worry about potential safety hazards while surfing the internet there...
The style of the Wasteland City was bizarre.
But this was precisely the characteristic of the Chaotic Realm.
In a skyscraper hundreds of floors high in the distance, a man in a suit sat, gazing longingly out the window.
This man was Yang Tao, the vice president of the Call to Arms guild.
He had gone through many hardships, barely finding a job in the Wasteland City, and was now employed here.
Of course, finding a stable and decent job in the Chaotic Realm was quite an achievement, bringing enormous benefits to players!
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Yang Tao adjusted the wrinkles on his clothes in front of the semi-transparent glass.
He turned around to see his beautiful secretary leading in a disheveled man with a sinister smile.
"Vice President, you wanted to see me?"
The man spoke, and the secretary left the room at Yang Tao's signal.
"Sit."
Yang Tao gestured, not minding the man's dirtiness.
"I called you here to learn about someone."
Bal sat on the sofa, crossing his legs.
"Who?"
"Zhao Yi."
A hint of confusion flashed in Bal's eyes.
"Who?"
Yang Tao tossed a copy of a report onto the coffee table in front of Bal.
"Forgotten Angel."
Bal's sinister smile vanished as he focused on the information in the report copy.
The lighting cast shadows on his face.
"He's here too?"
Yang Tao nodded.
"Yes."
"Do you know him?"
After a long silence, Bal seemed reluctant to talk about Zhao Yi.
He felt uncomfortable.
"Vice President, you know our family... has a kind of illness."
"But I prefer to call it a talent."
"Our blood carries an insatiable thirst for slaughter, unchanged for generations."
"That's why my father became an arms dealer."
"Because arms are accompanied by blood and sin!"
"His talent was the best I've ever seen, involved in numerous battlefields, with his shadow behind many wars. The number of people he killed, whether women or children, was in the tens of thousands..."
"Since childhood, surpassing my father has been my ultimate goal in life!"
"Until..."
Bal's voice grew somber.
Sitting across from him, Yang Tao raised an eyebrow as he sipped his coffee and continued:
"Until your father, the arms king Kapal, met the Forgotten Angel, and his bloodlust was cured, right?"
Bal's face remained expressionless.
To him, it was a disgrace!
Slaughter was ingrained in their genes!
How could such a thing be cured?
Yet his father Kapal was indeed cured of his bloodlust by the Forgotten Angel.
And because of this, he killed his father Kapal!
Bal couldn't accept that the once arms king, the dark hand of war, standing at the top of the world's food chain, suddenly turned into a kind old man who spent his days fishing and playing chess.
He would rather not have such a father!
"How much do you know about his treatment of your father?"
Yang Tao asked, and Bal pondered seriously for a moment.
"Their treatment was conducted in secret."
"And although they spent a long time together, the actual treatment time was very short..."
"The person cured my father's bloodlust in about a day, maybe even within an hour... It was because of the short time that I could clearly feel my father had become a different person!"
Yang Tao squinted his eyes.
"You haven't had any contact with him?"
Bal seemed to recall something shameful, his fingers trembling slightly.
"Once."
"What was it like?"
"Fear."
As a murderer, considering himself at the top of the food chain, an extremely cruel madman, he actually admitted to feeling fear!
Yang Tao was very surprised, his interest in Zhao Yi growing stronger!
"Is he very cruel, making you fear him like this?"
Bal clenched his fists tightly.
After a long time, he exhaled a breath of foul air.
"Vice President, where is he?"
Clearly, he didn't want to recall the various encounters with Zhao Yi.
And those not-so-distant memories were strangely becoming blurred.
Everything about Zhao Yi was dissolving.
The only thing deeply ingrained was the fear that clung like a shadow!
"Currently in the 'All Freeloaders' guild, you know... although this guild has few people and its development is abysmal, but..."
Yang Tao stopped halfway, smiling at the contemplative Bal:
"Alright, go rest, prepare well, in a month the 'Tide of Demon Spirits' will appear, hold back your level, and perform well in it, maybe you can make a fortune from the Tide of Demon Spirits..."
"I understand... If I have the chance, I will definitely wash away the family's disgrace with my own hands!"
A fierce killing intent appeared in Bal's eyes!
...
Inside the experiment base at Rockridge High School.
Zhao Yi sat in the X-2 experiment chamber, trying to operate the instruments.
After completing the side quest, he retraced his steps back to the X-2 experiment chamber, using some medical measures there to simply disinfect his wounds and amputate his rotten leg.
Yang Linlin, watching from the side, exclaimed that it was quite an appetite booster!
Performing a limb amputation on himself without anesthesia, not blinking an eye throughout, was truly ruthless!@@novelbin@@
After finishing these tasks, Zhao Yi began learning how to use the machines.
He learned quickly.
Especially with the 'God's Perspective' activated, even more so.
Yang Linlin brought back a meal from the secret passage; there was still plenty of reserve food in the school cafeteria.
"The quest is over, why are you still risking communication with it?"
Zhao Yi replied while wolfing down his food:
"There's an old saying, 'courtesy demands reciprocity.'"
"They laid such a curse on me, if I don't return the favor with some gifts, it would be too impolite!"
Yang Linlin seemed to understand a bit, but not entirely.
"You want to use X-2 to deal with the organization behind Li Sheng?"
"I think it's unlikely."
"The other side can create such a terrifying curse, the force behind it must be enormous, just a mere riotous experiment subject..."
Actually, Yang Linlin hadn't finished her sentence.
X-2 had a fatal weakness.
That was its physical body.
No matter how powerful the riotous quantum state outside was, as long as Chen Qiong in the experiment chamber died, it would die too!
Zhao Yi operated the machine, revealing a smile that sent shivers down one's spine.
"Yeah, that's why I want to... teach him."
"Teach... what?"
"Teach some very ordinary knowledge!"
Zhao Yi grinned.
...
Three days later, just before the main quest ended, X-2 returned to the experiment chamber!
Yang Linlin was almost scared to death, quickly pulling out her small pistol, aiming at the riotous experiment subject, but it completely ignored her, turning to bow respectfully to Zhao Yi!
Yang Linlin was dumbfounded.
The live streaming room audience was also dumbfounded.
Holy crap!
Did he really teach the dungeon boss to be a student?
Is this for real?
This isn't logical!
But it indeed happened.
The two figures gradually turned into white light and disappeared, while the corners of X-2's mouth slowly lifted.
Turning around, it revealed a bright smile.
This smile was taught by Zhao Yi.
"No matter what happens, don't forget to keep smiling!"
...
Outside Rockridge High School, a large group of fully armed troops arrived, carrying a lot of special equipment. After getting off the vehicles, a soldier saluted the officer.
"Sir, preliminary investigation shows that the curse at Rockridge High School was indeed deactivated early."
"However, according to our equipment, there are no living people inside."
A quick look at /2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.
The officer standing on the truck's cargo box took off his sunglasses and gestured.
"Very well... have Team A scout ahead."
"Once inside the laboratory, report any situation immediately!"
"Yes!"
Soon, a group of armed personnel moved towards the interior of Rockridge High School.
However, they didn't know what kind of terrifying existence awaited them...
