Godslayer: God of the Sequence, Starting Guide to Conquering Lin Qiye

Within the "Lost City".

The moment Yang Gao landed, he noticed that the part of the lost city that had regained its vitality had expanded considerably.

If we take the Gate of the End as the center, it should be about 1 kilometer away.

—I feel much more comfortable now.

Yang Gao exclaimed that the city, which had been decaying and dying, now seemed to have been reborn within this one-kilometer radius.

"It's all the result of my hard work," Yang Gao affirmed himself.

Meanwhile, after the "Lost City" has been restored to 20%,

He understood that achieving a certain level of restoration had become a gradual, long-term process.

Unlike before, I can no longer absorb it as frantically.

Yang Gao checked the current progress of the "Lost City" restoration: 20.67%.

—Huh? It went up by 0.02?

He clearly remembered that before meeting An Qingyu, his "Lost City" was only 20.65% repaired.

Could it be that I also absorbed An Qingyu's upgrade process from an ordinary person to the Zhan Realm?

Yang Gao began to speculate.

However, any improvement is a good thing.

After thinking for a while, he stopped overthinking. His main purpose today was to find out how the so-called "residents finding their way home and giving gifts" actually happened.

Yang Gao first assumes that there are real residents in the Lost City, so where would they live?

—The house is repaired, so they can live there?

Once Yang Gao understood the key point, he looked up and saw the row of low buildings that had been repaired first.

"Let's go take a look first." Yang Gao made up his mind and walked quickly in that direction.

That row of low-rise buildings is in the park; originally, half of them belonged to the park management committee.

Half of them were rented to businesses that rent out bumper cars, ring toss games, and the like.

They used it as a warehouse.

There are also aunties who usually put their speakers there when they do square dancing.

As Yang Gao approached, he saw a row of low buildings that were entirely white.

The roof is sloped, from high to low, with the highest point being four or five meters and the lowest point being two meters.

He looked up and could see a U-shaped structure on the roof that looked like a track.

This echoes the low-rise building opposite; it's a landmark character designed for this square by a genius designer, there are three in total.

They are [I, ?, U].

Yang Gao glanced back at the enormous question mark in the flowerbed opposite...

—I can't really comment on that taste.

He pushed open the door of the tallest room in the low building, and the scene inside came into view.

It is an office.

The second room is the leader's private office.

When Yang Gao opened the door to the third room, he noticed something amiss.

He saw a flashlight with its light shining in the doorway.

—How come there's a flashlight here?

Yang Gao was suspicious, but the moment he picked it up, a scene suddenly flashed into his mind.

He witnessed an escape scene from a first-person perspective.

Something was chasing a person, who was running wildly in the room and eventually ran out of the room.

Yang Gao snapped out of his daze, looked at the flashlight in his hand, and casually waved it around.

"I can't see anything special about this..." Yang Gao was puzzled; the previous footage lacked context.

You can't deduce anything useful at all.

"Or, how about we try our luck?" He recalled the later part of the storyline in the Godslayer world.

Lin Qiye uses "Miracle" when he can't find his way or look for someone.

So it's understandable that he would use "luck" now.

Thinking of this, Yang Gao activated the Mystic City Domain, and words of self-praise came out of his mouth effortlessly.

Yang Gao is the most handsome man in the world!

"Yang Gao is the perfect good man~"

The superimposed sequence of praise instantly enveloped him.

It revealed a faint white mist that could only be seen with the naked eye within the "Lost City".

—This is it!

Yang Gao had a premonition that he, being "lucky," would definitely succeed.

He continued fiddling with the flashlight, shining it randomly around.

Until one moment, the light from his hand shone outside.

Yang Gao saw a figure, like a frozen transparent particle, only becoming visible when illuminated by a flashlight.

—This figure looks a bit strange…

It gives off a feeling of the Ghost King.

"As expected of me." With a clue, Yang Gao immediately grabbed a flashlight and went out the door.

The figure was running, and Yang Gao continued to take pictures following the direction the figure was facing.

Sure enough, a second figure appeared five meters away.

Following this pattern, three minutes later, Yang Gao returned to the Gate of the End.

The moment he pointed his flashlight at the Gate of the End, facing the last figure, Yang Gao's brain momentarily went blank.

Yang Gao: (◎_◎) ?

He saw the Gate of the End opening, the heavy door slowly slid inward.

Behind the door was complete darkness.

It's as if it can devour everything.

The light from Yang Gao's flashlight was also absorbed by him, creating a complete "absolute darkness," a void that devoured everything.

hum...

Yang Gao saw a figure emerge from the flashlight; that figure was entering the Gate of the End.

Then, the Gate of the End slowly closed.

At the moment of closing, Yang Gao saw the originally holy, milky-white mist swirling around the Gate of the End take on a glimmer of color.

The colors drifted across the Gate of the End, eventually choosing a spot to slip inside.

Yang Gao shone his flashlight high, illuminating the spot where the color had penetrated.

There, Yang Gao saw a "bubble" slowly drifting.

—Just as I thought!

Yang Gao instantly understood: he would help the residents find their way home.

That is to bring them to the Gate of the End.

Open the gates of the end and let them go home.

"So, what should I do?" Yang Gao looked at the towering Gate of the End.

I started to think about it.

He has now obtained the "answer"—to let the residents walk through the Gate of the End.

Entering the Gate of the End will grant you a "gift".

What about the process?

—It feels like doing homework during winter and summer vacations back then, but the teacher didn't tear up the answer key.

But the answer didn't provide steps; all I copied was a single number...

Yang Gao scratched the back of his head. It was clearly not enough to just have the answer without the process.

It can't be like doing homework, where you just copy down a number.

“Even just copying numbers would get me sent back to rewrite it…” Yang Gao recalled some unpleasant memories.

Yang Gao felt a little uncomfortable; at that moment, he felt as if he had found a treasure trove.

You know that if you put something in there, it will turn into gold.

But you haven't activated the spell...

Suddenly, Yang Gao had a flash of inspiration. He couldn't figure it out himself, but he felt that someone else definitely could.

He then quickly escaped the "maze".

Yang Gao, who had just woken up in bed, picked up his newly bought cell phone and dialed the number saved as "A Fish".

The phone rang but was not answered before the call ended.

—I refuse to believe it!

Yang Gao continued to fight.

This time, An Qingyu answered the phone and said somewhat impatiently, "It's the middle of the night, are you really sick in the head?!"

"Don't say that, I have a riddle I'd like you to help me figure out..."

Yang Gao didn't want An Qingyu to say another word.

He quickly repackaged what had just happened into a puzzle game and told An Qingyu about it.

"...Knowing the answer and figuring out the process is very simple." An Qingyu already had the answer in her mind before Yang Gao finished recounting the story.

For him, this question was as simple as asking him what 1+1 equals.

It would be more difficult for him to explain why he answered Yang Gao's call.

"The process is right there in the question." An Qingyu yawned.

Although he hadn't slept yet, the workload of dissecting the Nandaka snake demon was quite substantial.

"What do you mean?" Yang Gao was confused.

What does it mean to say it's right there in the question?

"You need to find the residents first! Where did the residents come from?"

"Then you can just copy it exactly, isn't that easy?" An Qingyu hung up the phone after saying that. He looked at the phone and raised his hand as if to throw it away.

But after thinking about it again, he put it back in his shirt pocket.

He couldn't explain why, but he always felt he should stay.

Just like the feeling he got from Yang Gao, he was strange, like he was sick.

"You're sick," An Qingyu cursed again.

"Thanks." Yang Gao looked at the phone that had already been hung up and muttered, "He really has a temper."

"However, to solve the mystery of the future [Key to the Gate] in the middle of the night, I'm really something else!" Yang Gao chuckled sheepishly.

According to psychological theory, it is more effective to let others help you than to help others to bring you closer to them.

Yang Gao's actions can be seen as a roundabout way of winning over An Qingyu.

——Five cities today, ten cities tomorrow...

—As long as you don't refuse, An Qingyu will definitely be won over in the end.

Yang Gao smiled and let his consciousness sink back into the "Maze City".

He already knows what to do; the next step is just the operational details!

An excited Yang Gao already had a premonition that he would soon obtain a brand-new method for acquiring sequences.

With more sequences acquired, Yang Gao can use the [Murder Expert] sequence more frequently, thus significantly improving his strength.

However, to be fair, An Qingyu's brain is truly reassuring.
