"To be honest, I'm surprised you chose to give up."
Valentine walked on the dilapidated streets, carrying ACE's body behind him. It has to be said that this big brother, who is called the Seven-Star Operator by players, has his unique capital. When the Eternals and Tallulah just fought against each other at the Forbidden City, he didn't wake up from the big noise, and he was so soaked in the magma pool. There was still nothing wrong with Jiu's skin, but it looked a little red, which made Valentine have to wonder what he had to do with the snake slaughter box.
"What's so surprising about this? I'm a good person and I can't bear to see the peace that is watered with the blood of innocent people."
Valentine lowered his head and walked slowly, trying his best to find a convenient place to walk in the ruins.
"But there are always good people who are injured in the world, right? I once helped the humans on that continent avoid the disaster of genocide, led them to accelerate magic research for hundreds of years, reformed the system and weakened the power in the hands of the nobles, so that The entire continent has entered a golden age of development."
The Immortal followed Valentin's left side, looking at the falling Source Stones in the sky and recalling the past, and gently brushed the back of the white cat in his arms with his right hand.
"At that time, I was still active on the mainland. I traveled around various human countries. Sometimes I went to the demon settlements to supervise the construction of the new society. I don't know how many auras I had on my body. Each one was brighter than the last. The titles before my name added up. Being able to fill up an A4 paper means I am completely at the peak of my life."
A larger Origin Stone fell on top of Valentine and was shattered by a transparent barrier. Without even looking at it, he kept his head down and carried ACE towards the distant city gate.
The surrounding environment is a bit weird. All the ruins and flames are covered with a gray film, and there are thick black lines on their edges, giving people the feeling of being in the game world of Borderlands.
The system did not give Valentine new abilities. This was the result of the overlap between the spiritual world and the real world. In order to talk to Valentine, the Eternal used his magic to accomplish this feat, projecting Valentine's spiritual world into the real world. This would not affect Valentine's running and he could appear next to him. chat.
"But I'm not happy. Why?"
"Humans have been studying me in private for I don't know how many years. It probably started in the late stages of the Human-Demon War. Decades later, they secretly formed a huge army specializing in soul magic. The long-eared elves Also studying my weaknesses and sharing intelligence with humans.”
"Why did they form a team specializing in soul magic? Because the only injury I suffered in that war was on the soul level. I used soul magic to invade the spiritual world of the demon army marshal, and then he was driven away When I came out, my soul was slightly shaken."
"Unfortunately, this scene was discovered by a human mage next to me, and then there was a saying that the only magic that can defeat the immortal is soul magic."
"Oh, that's really stupid." Valentine curled his lips.
"Yes, I have worked hard for them for decades, but those humans still want to deal with their savior. I still pretend that I don't know and continue to play tricks with them. I am really stupid."
The Eternal One sighed softly, his voice full of sorrow.
Valentine wanted to say that he didn't mean it, but he swallowed it back as soon as it reached his throat.
Pretty much the same.
"After this fight, your future will not be easy." The Eternal glanced at Valentine, who was walking with his head lowered: "Defeat Tallulah head-on, rescue heavy operator ACE, Rhode Island You will definitely be listed as a key surveillance figure and treated as such."
"Fortunately, there was no one else around during the last battle, otherwise your name would have appeared in the ears of some of the most powerful people in the world tomorrow."
"On the third day you will be invited to tea somewhere, and on the fourth day you will be assassinated."
Valentin lifted ACE up to prevent him from falling.
"So why not choose my plan? It's convenient and quick, but a lot of people will die. I can also fight a battle after a long time. Fighting Tallulah is just a warm-up. It's boring when it's over."
Valentine stopped and stood at the intersection.
"If it were you, which path would you choose?"
He raised his head and looked at the immortal beside him, his eyes reflecting the fire in the sky.
"I will probably choose to join Rhode Island."
The Immortal held his chin, frowned and thought for a few seconds before giving his answer.
Valentine turned his head and continued walking forward. The city gate was very close, and he could even see the Integration Movement soldiers at the gate. It's crazy that they are still sticking to their posts when this natural disaster is raging.
"You also know what kind of strength I am. I can accomplish what I said without the help of others. Choosing Rhode Island just makes things more complicated and interesting."
"But you are different. You also know the gap between you and Tallulah. If it weren't for me, you would have become a roasted dragon steak. You can't imagine how difficult it will be to follow Rhode Island in the future. Now you can Why wouldn't you want someone to help you achieve your wish faster?"
Valentine ignored him and walked directly through the dilapidated city gate. W stood on the ruins of the city gate with a piece of Originium explosive under his feet. She waved to Valentine, placing her hands in the shape of a trumpet to her mouth.
"Hey! That Vaifan!"
Valentine turned around and looked at W standing high up. A huge Origin Stone fell from the sky and landed next to the ruins of the city gate, stirring up a burst of dust.
Such a dangerous situation did not dampen W and Valentine's interest in chatting.
"I heard you wanted Tallulah's body to join the Integration Movement in exchange?"
W looked at Valentine below with great interest, his blood-red cat eyes staring at his face, and an evil smile forming on the corner of his mouth.
"It was just a joke, just to piss her off."
There was no change in the expression on Valentine's face. After the Eternal One proposed that cruel plan, he never relaxed with a sullen face.
Although he usually always has a mean smile, this expressionless face now is the reality behind the mask.
"Then you are successful." W recalled the physical appearance of the flame dragon just now. Even at the city gate far away from the central city, she could feel the change in temperature in the air.
"However, I am quite interested in your request."
W raised his right leg slightly, tilted his buttocks slightly, tilted his head back, put his right hand on his straight chest, opened his red lips, and stared at Valentine with his blood-red cat eyes and blinked, showing his charm.
"What do you think of me?"
Valentine still has a Sima face.
"Do you want to join my team? If you do, I will be yours."
Valentine rolled his eyes.
"boring."
He turned around and walked towards the gathering point in the distance. Before going to rescue ACE, Valentin and Amiya discussed the meeting point outside the city after the war. Valentin would go there to find them as soon as the rescue mission was over, without wasting any time on the road.
He didn't even consider what would happen if the mission failed.
W looked at the retreating figure and yawned. Just like what Valentine said just now, guarding the city gate is really boring and has no fun at all.
As for what she just said to Valentine, they were of course a joke, just to relieve the boring atmosphere. Of course, if Valentin really agreed, she wouldn't mind stuffing an Originium bomb into the boy's mouth while hugging him.
Guys who only think with their lower bodies will only waste resources in this world.
Looking at the ball of holy light getting closer and closer to him, Valentine knew that he was far away from the threat of death. The evacuation point in Rhode Island was on the edge of a natural disaster and just about unaffected. Several thick and dazzling electric currents gradually surged from his body, signaling to the Rhode Island operators in front that he was back.
The Immortal looked at the blond angel who rushed over and nodded meaningfully.
"It seems that this girl has deep feelings for you..."
"I said at the beginning that the system would help you realize your somewhat shameless wish. Why are you still unwilling?"
The Eternal One has the ability to read minds, but unfortunately this ability is not effective for Valentine who is protected by the Holy Light, so he can only keep asking to find the answer.
Although it was possible to read souls, that method was too violent, and he was worried that Valentine's soul wouldn't be able to hold on.
Valentin looked at the people from Rhode Island and Raphael Xing Yihuang running over, and put down the ACE behind him.
"If I did that, I would disappoint her."
Raphael was a man of overflowing compassion, a true Madonna. If he let the immortals go on a killing spree in order to complete the task quickly, she would definitely not mind shooting him in the head, even if he was the one she liked.
Kill one person and save ten thousand people.
"Didn't I say that I have a way to make her follow you wholeheartedly?"
"Then you are insulting Raphael and you are insulting me."
Valentine glared at the Immortal, his eyes full of frost. This was also the first time he felt angry from the bottom of his heart.
The Eternal One wisely stepped aside and watched Valentine reunite with everyone. Raphael hugged Valentin directly, letting him experience the long-lost facial cleanser again. Xing Yihuang lowered his outstretched hand and just looked at the two people hugging each other with a wry smile on his lips. The Rhode Island operators gathered around ACE to avoid becoming a high-wattage light bulb.
Because it is a projection of the spiritual world, these people cannot see the immortal, only Valentine can see it. The white cat in the Immortal's arms broke away from his touch and jumped onto the Immortal's shoulder.
"Can you fulfill your promise now?"
The white cat's tail gently flicked the back of the Immortal's head, and the latter looked reluctant.
"That is the experience I have accumulated over tens of thousands of years. Now I want to give it all to this kid. It feels like it is too cheap for him."
"Without him, there would be no you. Now it's time for you to return the favor. Are you still unwilling?"
The white cat directly gave the Immortal a paw on his left cheek.
"Okay, okay, okay."
The Eternal pushed away the white cat on his shoulder with a look of disgust, and connected his spirit with Valentine's soul. Countless memories emerged from his mind and were transmitted to Valentine's brain.
——————————————Data transmission————————————————
Half an hour ago, Valentine was squatting in the corner, muttering to himself.
"Why did it become like this...For the first time, I had a way to complete the task, and I had someone I like. Two happy things overlapped, and these two happiness should have brought me more The happiness I got was supposed to be a time of happiness like a dream...but why did it become like this..."
The Eternal looked at Valentine who had been drawing circles in the corner and the blue will-o'-the-wisp floating above his head, and scratched his hair.
"Did I say it too harshly?"
"What do you think?"
The system that had just transformed into a self-destructed Source Stone insect once again transformed into a white cat, appearing directly on top of the Eternal One's head.
"I think it's okay. There is a simpler plan that I haven't mentioned yet... If you want to save the world, just kill everyone in the world. In this way, all problems will be solved and the mission will be completed."
The Eternal One felt a little itchy in his head. He stretched out his hand to hold the white cat in his arms, and the system did not resist.
"Don't you have any other solution to the problem other than violence?"
"No."
The Eternal shook his head.
After all, violence is the simplest solution for a person with the ability to break stars.
"through."
The system doesn't want to continue talking nonsense with this guy who only thinks about fighting and killing.
"He will definitely refuse, don't think about it, so let's talk about what you should leave behind before you leave."
"What?"
A bad premonition emerged in the Immortal's heart.
"Leave some of your swordsmanship, weapons, etc. to your creator."
The Eternal One never dreamed that the system would do something like this. That's not what he said when he was asked to help!
"Isn't this in the help content we mentioned at the beginning?"
"It wasn't there at first, but now it is."
The system did not give the Immortal any face at all.
"WDNMD..." A puff of air came up along the Eternal's trachea, and fire almost came out of his nose, but he quickly suppressed the fire.
The system lay on his shoulder and swung its tail. It opened one eye and looked at the side face of the immortal. The cat's face was full of ridicule.
Can't be angry, can't be angry... The Immortal took a few deep breaths to relax.
Although he is called the Immortal and is almost omnipotent, he cannot do it by himself and can only rely on the help of the system to travel across the universe. If the system doesn't help him, it's over. The immortal can only stay in Valentine's body as a soul for the rest of his life, becoming his ultimate tool.
"I have never seen such a shameless person!"
It's a lie not to be angry, and the immortal can only vent his emotions by swearing without using curse words.
"I'm not a human, I'm an artificial intelligence. Thank you for the compliment."
What kind of host is there, what kind of system is there.
"Even if I die and stay in this body all my life and become the ultimate tool of the Creator, I will not succumb to your power!"
The Immortal waved his hands and shouted slogans quite proudly to show his fine style of not fearing power.
"I'll help you build a network in your home, connect it to the Earth's Internet, and give you a set of Earth's top-notch PCs and peripherals. From now on, you can come directly to me for hardware and software repairs. Free upgrades and free maintenance."
The Immortal was stunned for two seconds, then smacked his thigh and bowed, making a gesture of invitation with a flattering smile on his face.
"Master, please come this way!"
Of course, what kind of creator also creates what kind of characters.
The scene changed rapidly, and the system entered the immortal's own spiritual space. Different from Valentine's dark spiritual space, the eternal person's spiritual space is very rich, with endless woods around and several snow-capped mountains in the distance. They appeared on a grassy field with a small round lake in front of them, and a wooden boat on the edge of the lake.
"It was remodeled according to the environment around my home, isn't it beautiful~"
The Eternal One lay down on the grass with his hands spread wide. The expression on his face was extremely comfortable, and his whole body relaxed, as if he had really returned to his own home.
"Where's your memory?"
"Don't worry." A recliner suddenly appeared under the Immortal's buttocks. He lay on it with his legs crossed, and waved his hands forward, and large pieces of memory fragments appeared in mid-air.
"Here are all the martial arts, magic and miracles I have learned. You can choose the one that suits you. I will pass it on to him when the time comes."
The system nodded and began to browse the memory fragments in front of him.
"Because I have learned too many things, and although I am called an immortal, I am still a human being, and my memory will be forgotten, so I specially recorded these things and passed them down to the world. For the convenience of recording, I put them all in Got a piece."
"Here are the swordsmanship I have learned. It is very comprehensive. Richard Naer, Meyer, Fiore, Silver Master, Carranza... there are too many. In addition, there are Yagyu Shinin-ryu and Beichen Itto-ryu. . Anyone who is a first-rate person on the second day can do it, just wield two knives and swing them around...and Bajiquan and so on."
"At that time, the swordsmanship in Europe was relatively complete, as was the swordsmanship in the island countries, but the Chinese swordsmanship was lamentable, and basically all was lost."
The Immortals were created as Chinese people, and it is a pity to talk about the traditional Chinese martial arts.
"Very good, just copy these packages to Valentine." The system did not transform into a white cat, but turned into the original Data Man, which allows him to better control and browse the memory of the immortal. .
"A flash of lightning? What is this?"
Dataman's hand stopped on a memory.
"The Bato Jutsu I created when I was young is Iai, which has the function of releasing sword energy. I was already several thousand years old at that time, and the magic content in my body has expanded much more than that of ordinary people, and it is more powerful than other people's Iai. Quite a few, so I gave it a special name.”
Recalling the middle school scene at that time, a slight blush appeared on the Immortal's cheeks.
"wanted."
Dataman waved his hand, and more memories flowed before his eyes. Soon, another memory stopped under his hand.
"Zhankongbu..."
The system looked at the image in the memory of the immortal and softly spoke its name.
"This is probably my most powerful miracle. It ignores all defenses and anyone in the attack path will definitely die."
The Eternal's voice was filled with pride.
"It's a pity that he can't learn."
"Indeed..." Data Man nodded. "wanted."
? ? ?
"Why should he pass it on to him if he can't learn it? Isn't this a waste?"
The Eternal stared at the system that was looking for the next suitable memory with wide eyes, a look of confusion on his face.
"Just because he doesn't know it doesn't mean I don't know it. It's good to use it as a trump card."
"As you wish..."
The Immortal gave up the argument. Whatever he liked would be fine. Anyway, it was just a copy, not a cut. If it were to be cut, he would rather die here than agree to the system's request.
"It's done, martial arts, magic and all." The system clapped his hands and turned around to look at the Immortal on the side. He took out the selected memories and put them together. The Immortal waved his hand and all other memory fragments disappeared. without a trace.
"Now it's time to talk about weapons."
"Don't do it?" The Eternal One cried sadly.
"Don't think I don't know how rich you are. You have dozens of long swords, two-handed swords, swift swords, daggers, shields, crossbows and so on. You won't die if you take out one each."
The system directly exposed the Immortal's background.
"These are the magic weapons I raised with my own blood. They can be exposed to wind, sun, rain, thunder and lightning for decades without a scratch. If you sell them, they can be exchanged for a lot of gold. of……"
"And I came out without a weapon."
"Don't fool me, do you think I don't know where your long sword came from? How much is gold worth? Is it important to have a network in that world?!"
"No, here it is!"
Everything can be compromised in front of the Internet. The Immortal has wanted to play games for I don’t know how many years, and he can’t come up with anything by studying alone. Now that he has an opportunity to exchange things for the Internet, he will naturally not let it go. Pass.
"Just give the weapon to the angel in Valentine's spiritual space directly. She has a magical function of storing items, just like your storage space."
"Let's wait until he leaves Chernobog to pass on his martial arts memories. There's no rush now."
After the system and the Immortal determined what to give to Valentine, they returned to his mental space.
"This is a great gift..."
The Eternal looked at Valentine who was still squatting in the corner and sighed.
"It would have been so much easier if I had encountered such a good system like yours back then, and I wouldn't have had to endure so many beatings to become stronger."
"Who said you couldn't die? And I paid for it, otherwise I wouldn't have given him these things."
The system pointed at the Immortal's head.
“Although it’s perfect, I always feel like I’m losing money.”
"It's not a loss. Although the Internet and PC are worthless in my eyes, you need them very much. It's easy to call you to help Valentine beat people up, but he gave me the Source Stone that I have collected for two years. .”
"We both made money on this transaction, but I made more money."
"You are such a good businessman."
The Immortal curled his lips and commented against his will.
“That’s the power of mastering the channel.”
