I'm not a drama god

Shen Qingzhu seemed to be born with a certain temperament that made people unconsciously trust him and confide in him... At least Chen Ling felt that this person was worth making close friends with.

"Thank you, Brother Shen."

"Don't call me Brother Shen, it's too formal." Shen Qingzhu waved his hand, "My brothers all call me Brother Zha."

"...Brother?"

Chen Ling didn't quite understand the name, but she didn't ask any more questions. After saying thank you, she bent down and picked up the small piece of debris on the ground.

Before picking up the fragments, Chen Ling conservatively used reshape to wrap the surrounding ground with a layer on its surface, reducing the contact area between the fragments and her fingers, making it look like a gray and red coin.

When Chen Ling held the coin in his hand, he felt a surge of Red Star Willpower flowing through the red part of the coin into his body, causing his spiritual power to continuously increase...

Chen Ling's spiritual power, which had only recently reached the middle stage of the seventh stage, loosened up again under the impact of the Red Star's power, and steadily increased. The effect was like killing a Crimson Sky Cultist every three minutes and absorbing the Red Star's willpower within them.

Compared to the explosive suicidal growth of directly absorbing the entire piece of debris, this current steady and long-term approach is obviously more suitable for Chen Ling now.

Chen Ling played with the coin while looking at Shen Qingzhu in confusion:

"Haven't you tried to absorb it? With your strength, it shouldn't burst you, right?"

Shen Qingzhu shook his head. "My power comes from the K-series meteor that invaded my world, and yours is a Y-series meteor. Meteors from different systems are incompatible with each other."

"I see……"

This was the first time Shen Qingzhu mentioned the world he was in. Chen Ling couldn't help but ask:

"You said last time that the K-series meteor's corresponding destruction method is... Mythological Invasion?"

"Strictly speaking, the Mythological Invasion is just one of the many ways in which the K-series meteor manifests itself."

"Since the meteor in your world has been resolved, then... why did you come to our world?"

"..." Shen Qingzhu hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed.

"Our captain asked me to come."

"team leader?"

"Yes, he's the one who dealt with the K-series meteor in our world." Shen Qingzhu looked into his eyes. "I should have mentioned to you last time that there are only two people who have successfully killed the meteor... He is one of them."

"Is he better than you?"

Shen Qingzhu smiled.

"Our captain is much better than me."

In Chen Ling's opinion, Shen Qingzhu was already ridiculously powerful. If he hadn't been confined to the embers of civilization, he would have been able to turn the outside human realm upside down by himself...and the "captain" he mentioned was actually even stronger than him?

Is this the existence that can block meteor showers in the candlelight world?

"If there is a chance in the future, I really want to meet him." Chen Ling said sincerely.

"I haven't seen him for a long time. Let me think about it, the last time I saw him was probably in..."

Hearing this, Shen Qingzhu seemed to remember something, and the hand that was about to take out a cigarette trembled slightly.

His expression suddenly became strange.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Ling asked puzzledly.

"...No, it's nothing."

Shen Qingzhu lowered his head and silently held the cigarette in his mouth. He rubbed his fingers together, and a flicker of flame silently lit the cigarette butt...

……

Shen Qingzhu's memory goes back to the past.

That was when he was still being rejected by this world, being teleported randomly in the human realm like a headless fly.

He remembered that he was just about to walk to a store in the realm to buy cigarettes. As soon as he walked into the store, he was teleported away by the chaotic space... When he opened his eyes, he had arrived above a gray mountain range.

In the mountains, there are many disasters that look like they are just shells. When they find that they appear out of thin air, they seem to be very shocked and immediately rush towards him one after another.

At that time, Shen Qingzhu had no idea where he was, nor what these monsters were, but with his strength, he just waved his hand and cleared out all the small fry.

then……

From the other side of the mountains, a piece of skin flew over.

Shen Qingzhu remembered it clearly. There were many eyes on that skin. After staring at him for a long time, they descended straight down. Then, the strange skin folded and turned, and finally turned into a figure wearing a dark red cloak...

It was an ugly, clumsy, and quite disgusting pseudo-human, but through some of its details, Shen Qingzhu could tell who it was trying to imitate. He was stunned at the time and forgot to move for a moment.

Then, the fake person looked at him and walked towards him with a very familiar voice, shaking his head:

"Brother..."

"You are too weak..."

"You're weak and have no background. The Night Squad doesn't need a member like you... Go to that world by yourself and stay there alone until you die... I'm going on vacation with Galan. Bye..."

Shen Qingzhu: ???

……

Shen Qingzhu remembered it very clearly. That day, he flattened the entire mountain range and tore the ugly skin into three pieces.

If he had not been teleported away by the chaotic force of space at the last moment, giving that damn leather its last breath, it would have been made into a pair of leather shoes and stepped on by him for who knows how many years.

Shen Qingzhu exhaled a puff of smoke, temporarily putting that infuriating memory behind him, and looked at Chen Ling again:

"Are you okay?"

"Gone."

"If you have nothing else to do, let's go." Shen Qingzhu pointed to the ground. "This place is the core of the remnants of civilization. Time flows very quickly. An hour here is equivalent to several days outside... If you don't leave now, I'm afraid you'll miss a lot."

"What???"

Chen Ling knew that time flowed faster here than outside. Last time, he had only been inside for half a day, while Wu Yi had been waiting outside for almost a week. But now where they were, the time difference seemed even more exaggerated. An hour seemed to be equivalent to several days?

Chen Ling calculated that since he entered the outskirts of the civilization and went deeper and deeper, it should have been nearly 30 hours. Taking into account the difference in the flow of time... Although it is impossible to convert it specifically, it should have been a month outside.

"Thanks for the reminder!" Chen Ling was about to turn around and leave when he saw the fragments of the red star beside him. He hesitated for a moment.

"Brother, I'll leave this fragment with you for a while... I'll come back for it when I need it."

Shen Qingzhu nodded, "No problem."

Chen Ling didn't waste any more time. He turned around and quickly flew out of the embers of civilization. At the same time, Shen Qingzhu seemed to remember something and shouted:

"Next time you come, bring me a few more packs of cigarettes!"
