Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 52: Commander and Hidden Mission
CN Bai Zhu was tied up on a bed by Qi Wub. His vision was completely fixed by the game system, and his entire body was stiff, unable to move.
He could only see the scalpel glinting with cold light and Qi Wub’s smooth chin.
He knew he had entered a storyline.
“No big deal,” CN Bai Zhu thought, feeling very confident.
After all, it was just a game.
He comforted himself.
Although this NPC was annoying and rambled on all day, he couldn’t possibly harm his real body, no matter what.
CN Bai Zhu quietly set his 20% pain tolerance to 0%.
A bizarre surgery began amidst Qi Wub’s deranged laughter.
One minute later.
“The surgery was successful. I removed the excess parts from you and sewed up some meaningless gaps.”
Qi Wub let out a strange smile, his voice low.
His face was pale, his eyes hollow, and his mouth was stretched almost to his ears. His smile was unnerving.
“Holy crap, that fast? Σ( ° △ °|||)”
“I’ve never been that fast even playing deoxygenated a ribose!”
Wait, what did he just hear?
What did he mean by removing excess parts and sewing up meaningless gaps?
Was it what he thought it was?
CN Bai Zhu quickly felt around his crotch and behind his buttocks.
Even if it was just a game character, he had to maintain his dignity. This was the last bottom line for a male player!
Fortunately, his “thing” and his behind were all intact, and his butt hadn’t been sewn up. It was just that his vision had become a little different.
CN Bai Zhu’s pupils, dark red, shrank to pinpricks. Looking at everything around him, he found that he could focus his attention entirely on a speck of dust and magnify it. Time around him seemed to slow down, and he could see things more and more clearly.
This was an embodiment of increased insight.
[Name: CN Bai Zhu]
[Profession: Modified Corrupted Player – Level 33]
[Skills:]
[Bloodthirst (Unique): Blood can restore your injuries.]
[Devil’s Heart (Unique): Stronger, faster, fiercer.]
[Abyss Will (Unique): Gain the ability to command low-level demons. Requires an will check.]
[Others…]
Unbelievable!
Looking at his personal panel, which was already covered in demon claw-like patterns, CN Bai Zhu suppressed the excitement in his heart and summoned the System Mirror.
In the smooth, clear mirror, his somewhat unfamiliar face was reflected.
Red eyes, green face, pitch-black veins bulged like spiderwebs on his cheeks, pulsating. His neck was covered in a layer of dark red scales, and a pair of gray, backward-curving horns grew from his forehead.
He no longer looked human…
…
…
“Huh? Bai Zhu, look. This player, CN Bai Zhu, posted a screenshot of them changing professions to Corrupted Player.”
“As expected of the Abyss Plane, they actually turned into a demon?”
(Player Name) (M), now perched on Supreme Cloth’s back, said with interest while fiddling with the bone spurs on Supreme Cloth’s back.
“Saw it already. Honestly, the skills are okay, but he’s really ugly.”
What’s the point of being a Corrupted Player when they can’t fly, unlike the cool Thunder Venom Dragons?
Supreme Cloth sneered. He had just gone to find Loli.
As expected of Winter City’s number one healer.
With a soft flash of Holy Light, the weakness he felt instantly vanished, making him feel incredibly confident.
Of course, what truly made him swell with pride was the effect of the title “Dragon Commander”:
[Dragon Commander] You can command Venom Dragons of equal or lower level. (Priority Level 3, first priority includes King of Winter, Loli, Ruo Yi, etc.)
To him, this title was the most precious reward. Winter City had many dragons, and there would only be more in the future. In a sense, these dragons were all his subordinates.
Supreme Cloth mused contentedly.
Just as he was about to take his best friend for a joyride in the sky, a hike, or a high-altitude un-parachute jump, the mission system’s prompt suddenly chimed:
[Ding! You have triggered an Epic Hidden Mission!]
[Mission Name: Form a Flying Squad]
[Mission Description: As the first Foreign to become a Thunder Venom Dragon, the King of Winter admires your pioneering spirit and bravery. He seems to have a mission for you. Go to the clock tower in the Inner City Plaza to meet him.]
[Mission Restriction: Supreme Cloth Only]
[Mission Reward: A large group of system dragon subordinates, gain the power to form a flying squad.]
“Holy crap! This mission…”
Supreme Cloth’s eyes lit up, and his breathing quickened. He seemed to feel that his era was about to begin…
…
Winter City Inner City Plaza.
Compared to its usual quietness, the Inner City Plaza was very lively today.
Dozens of Venom Dragons flew around in the sky, making strange “gujia gujia” sounds.
These dragons, flying around haphazardly, were ordinary Venom Dragons whose players had changed professions.
They were soaring freely, experiencing the thrill and novelty of flight.
From time to time, they would fly to the clock tower and pose menacingly to scare the Crusaders guarding it, but the Crusaders ignored them.
Below the players, in the plaza, sixty Venom Dragons stood tall and orderly, arranged neatly and quietly, appearing very well-behaved.
These were system soldiers that Xi Wei had exchanged with a large amount of Villain Points and materials.
The main reason was that not many players wanted to change professions to become dragons yet; most were observing.
So he had to endure the pain and exchange them with Villain Points.
If players changed professions to dragons directly, it wouldn’t consume many Villain Points; the system would only charge a processing fee.
However, there was no time to slowly entice players now. He had already prepared to deploy his troops.
The system Venom Dragons he had on hand, plus those transformed by players, were sufficient.
After waiting for a moment.
A black Venom Dragon, slightly larger than the others, with arcs of electricity flashing in its dragon eyes, dived nimbly from the sky.
It was Supreme Cloth, carrying his best friend, who had rushed over.
