Infinite people, start speedrunning

Chapter 25 There’s a cow!
"...Whether I'm complete or not doesn't matter. As long as Na'er survives, that's all that matters."

Zhang Jie is not concerned about his own integrity, or whether the reincarnated Zhang Jie is still himself after the fusion.

Definitely, and definitely not just my current self.

Fang Ge knew that Zhang Jie hated this body, created by a chance bug, and hated the part of him that guided him. This made him afraid to love, and afraid to hate, and he didn't want to die, but he couldn't live.

That's why he agreed to this approach. This is in line with Zhang Jie's own wishes.

After stripping away the part that belongs to Zhang Jie, what remains is a pure guide.

The guide has no desire to survive, only a mechanical consciousness and the instinct of a [certified captain].

Zhang Jie's remnant soul, yearning for life, returns to his body, allowing his humanity to continue. The guide's divinity will fulfill its innate mission and certify him as the captain of the Zhongzhou team.

If you want to live, you will live; if you want to die, you will die.

Everyone’s demands will be met and we all have a bright future.

Hearing this, the beauty in palace dress put her arm around Zhang Jie's arm, and the two snuggled together.

"Creating humans isn't like you... They're also beings created by the Lord God, but they also possess complete souls. To avoid the Lord God's annihilation after the guide dies, all you need to do is change [ownership]..."

Fang Ge pulled Jin Xi to stand up, signaling Zhang Jie not to worry that the Lord God still regarded Na'er as the creation of the [Guide].

"I've already told you the method. Now we just need to wait for a reincarnation world with a [Resurrection Mechanism] so you can find an opportunity to strengthen your Zanpakutō... Now that the team battle has been unlocked, it's only a matter of time before we encounter it."

"Before that, I will maintain a plural number of people with the [Highest Level Gene Lock] in the team. This will ensure that you can waver and not have to be certified immediately."

This might be difficult for others, but for a master like Fang Ge, it was very simple. As long as the physical fitness was in place, unlocking the lock only required an environment full of external pressure.

Such occasions are the most abundant in the main god's space.

——I don’t take the initiative to open the lock, but as long as someone opens the second or third level, I can follow up in a very short time.

"Thank you... I won't see you off. If there's anything I can help you with in the future, just let me know." Seeing Fang Ge was about to leave, Zhang Jie took the opportunity to say a few polite words.

It might take some time for him to digest this information.

"Come to think of it, there is indeed something I need your assistance with..."

Fang Ge recalled the long and arduous process he had spent recommending the Zanpakuto to Zhang Jie.

Zhan Lan doesn't have much of his own opinion, and Chu Xuan needs his help. These two people are easy to control.

But Zheng Zha is such a stubborn old man!
When exchanging money, he always has his own ideas and doesn't listen to others or say anything.

Zheng Zha, who has never experienced any setbacks, is passive and lazy in becoming stronger.

He might say "I want to become stronger" but his actual actions are just hiding in his room like a pile driver every day...

If he were to return to the last game to score points, it would probably take a lot of effort.

To save trouble, Fang Ge requested:
"When I make a decision in the meeting later, I'll use some tricks to make them obey."

"Don't worry, I won't harm anyone... If something does happen and I can't handle it, I will definitely die before you."

From Fang Ge's own perspective, he is a speedrunner with no morals at all, a "living CS" who doesn't care about life or death.

But from the NPC's perspective, Fang Ge, apart from being a little neurotic, is a "good guy" who is fearless, leads by example, and helps everyone indiscriminately.

After receiving Zhang Jie's response, Fang Ge returned to the main god space with peace of mind.

At this time, the huge main god square was empty, and no one knew that he had met Zhang Jie.

It is now six o'clock in the morning. According to Fang Ge's experience, within two hours, everyone except [Pile Driver-Zheng Zha] will come to the square.

Only Zheng Zha wanted to sleep until noon.

After exchanging the Lord God brand sofa in the square, Fang Ge decided to choose a suitable [Treasure of Heaven and Earth] and take a look at the exchange list to see if there is anything new and interesting.

Since there was no need to worry about [leakage], Fang Ge decided to choose a higher-quality natural treasure.

And due to [stability], [dormant nature], [both yin and yang]... he finally decided on [Yin Yang Purple Palace].

[Yin Yang Zi Que, from The Legend of Sword and Fairy, is a natural treasure that combines both extreme yin and extreme yang. It is divided into two parts, yin and yang, and grows from a single piece. It takes a thousand years to form into jade. After forming into jade, it is buried underground for another thousand years. Once the jade is formed, the chalcedony becomes refined and can be eaten. Eating either part will cause an imbalance between yin and yang, and will be harmful rather than beneficial. Requires one C-rank side story, and rewards 1800 points.]

In the Chinese Paladin IV, the protagonist Yun Tianhe's mother consumed the Yang Shi energy from the Yin Yang Purple Que fruit. The energy from the Yang Shi energy was inherited by Yun Tianhe during her pregnancy, and continued to exert its effects even after the story began, more than a decade later.

In terms of stability, there is no problem.

Moreover, since it can counteract the coldness of [Wangshu] in the Qionghua Twin Swords, the energy it contains should not be underestimated.

The twin swords [Wangshu] and [Xihe] are sold at the price of an A-level side story in the main god space. If the twin swords can exert their full strength, they are in no way inferior to the so-called [power of immortals and gods]!
A round jade essence that was a combination of yin and yang and resembled a Tai Chi diagram appeared in front of Fang Ge.

When you touch it with your hand, it feels warm.

Half cool, half warm.

Since it is a force that the fetus can withstand, the danger is limited and it is stable and gentle.

"Buzz..."

The jade essence was crystal clear, emitting an alluring fragrance, and it kept trembling in his hand, as if trying to escape from Fang Ge's clutches.

——It really has become a spirit, and it can even run around...

With a gentle tap, Fang Ge broke the shell and drank up the chalcedony inside.

It tastes sweet and delicious, and after taking it, I feel refreshed and as if I have endless energy. Other than that, there's nothing special about it, and its effects are indeed subtle.

Fang Ge thought he had bought a fake.

Only when practicing the mental method can one feel that there are two powerful energies hidden everywhere in the body, with yin and yang balanced, and it is not difficult to refine them.

——Good value for money.

The first person to arrive in the main divine space was surprisingly not the workaholic Chu Xuan... but the impoverished writer Zhan Lan. With such a nightmarish experience, it was difficult for someone as sensitive as Zhan Lan to maintain a good night's sleep. Closing his eyes, he saw the horrific sight of his own bones being smashed and his arms being chopped off...

After waking up, the details of the room proved that everything I encountered after entering the [Main God Space] was real and not a dream, and my mood became even worse.

Fortunately, when she came to a place full of infinite horrors, she did not encounter any accidents, but met some reliable and righteous people.

Before opening the door, Zhan Lan tried hard to smile and decided to face the new day with a positive attitude.

then……

The first thing she saw was a man and a woman quietly snuggling on the sofa under the ball of light, being affectionate with each other.

It was obviously me who came first.

An inexplicable thought suddenly appeared in Zhan Lan's mind, and he suddenly felt that it didn't matter whether he laughed or not.

Laugh at your mother!
She patted her cheeks to avoid looking embarrassed.

Then he walked forward expressionlessly.

"I didn't expect you to be the first one here."

Fang Ge waved towards Zhan Lan unconsciously.

Jin Xi also gave Zhan Lan a faint smile, as elegant and gentle as the warm spring sun, with no hostility in her eyes.

瞄～
It was rare for Zhan Lan to feel competitive. He glanced around and compared Jin Xi with himself.

She found that apart from being larger in all dimensions, her appearance and temperament were inferior. She was really asking for trouble.

And...what if he likes this?

Zhan Lan! What on earth are you thinking about?
After spitting in his heart, Zhan Lan stopped thinking about it and said jokingly:
"Why do I feel like I came at the wrong time? There's not even a seat."

"No, you came at the perfect time!"

Fang Ge smiled brightly and patted the sofa, motioning Zhan Lan to sit next to him.

No place to sit?

Isn't this sofa spacious?

"..."

There were no other seats anyway.

In line with the principle of not wasting reward points, Zhan Lan sat next to Fang Ge for some unknown reason.

stare~
Jin Xi still had that gentle and submissive expression, and the calm smile on her pretty face had not disappeared.

Zhan Lan's intuition told her that a vague gaze was focused on her.

The instigator of all this—Fang Ge—was completely oblivious as he linked up with the Lord God and scrolled through the redemption list. The three of them sat on the sofa, no one speaking.

The scene was very awkward, making Zhan Lan feel very uncomfortable.

Until Chu Xuan appeared in the square, Zhan Lan thought that the current situation could be reversed.

However, the man with glasses just stood there, showing no intention of sitting down or talking.

Zhan Lan increasingly regretted not checking the almanac before leaving the house, and why she had gone so far as to listen to Fang Ge's nonsense.

She was tired.

"Why don't you sit down? Why are you standing?"

Zhang Jie walked to the light ball carelessly, then put his arm around Chu Xuan's shoulders and sat down on the ground.

Almost at the same time, another sofa appeared under their buttocks.

After all, Zhang Jie’s reward points are useless.

This did not alleviate Zhan Lan's awkward situation, but made her even more at a loss. It seemed like she had to squeeze in here.

Especially Zhang Jie, the man with the scar kept staring at him with a weird and teasing look.

There is one more person, one more person who can turn the current awkward atmosphere around...

Poor Ms. Zhan can only pin her hopes on the relatively reliable Zheng Zha.

Then the shirtless man suddenly rushed out of the room, closed his eyes under the big ball of light, and rushed back into the room after a moment.

At this moment, despair embodied itself in Zhan Lan. She covered her forehead and slumped back on the sofa cushions.

Destroy it quickly!
"Get out! Get out!"

Until, the girl's clear voice came from Zheng Zha's door.

After putting on his clothes, Zheng Zha was pushed out of the room again by his partner.

He scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "Oh, everyone is here~"

"We've been waiting for you for a long time."

Fang Ge had an idea and prepared a bench for Zheng Zha.

"Being late for so long, I'll punish you by making you sit on the bench."

At this moment, Zhan Lan's eyes widened.

She finally realized Fang Ge's sinister intentions. So you deliberately let me sit next to you, right?
"...Oh, let's talk about strengthening, talk about strengthening." Zheng Zha sat on the bench with a wry smile, but he was able to bend and stretch.

"I've got a great harvest here!"
