"You're telling me this is fantasy?!"
An unsettled voice lingered around Chen Xin, clear for everyone to hear, as if the voice echoed right beside their ears.
However, the voice and tone of this antagonist were all too familiar to Lin Yi. Upon hearing the words "Ying Zheng," he instantly knew who was on the other side.
Zhao Gao was indeed an antagonist... but from a completely different dimension!
There was a response! He responded!
Chen Xin was secretly delighted inside. Now that one line of dialogue had been formed, just four more and he could summon the other party over.
"Hello, I am Chen Xin from the Soul Land dimension. May I ask who you are?"
Chen Xin tentatively asked.
Just toss out a few simple questions for the other party to answer, and wouldn't the dialogue be generated?
Zhao Gao ran out of the house, paced around the entire building as if searching for something, then returned incredulously to the room, sat down, blinked, and then finally responded:
"I am from Earth, I mean... cough, I am Zhao Gao from the Qin Dynasty. Are you the one living inside my head?"
He felt as if his brain was about to explode; if there was really an old man living inside his head, wouldn't that mean the elixir of life was real too?
Such absurd events didn't seem so absurd after all.
This time, it was Chen Xin who was taken aback.
Living inside his head?
But the purpose of this dialogue was to hoodwink, wasn't it? As long as he could deceive the other party into coming over, they would completely obey him.
And every day there was a different antagonist; he wasn't likely to encounter this one again anyway.
With this in mind, Chen Xin cleared his throat, "Yes, I live inside your head."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the others looked at him with disdain.
Zhao Gao's eyes widened, "Then, when did you start living in my head? From the time I traveled here? Does Yixiaochuan also have someone in his head?"
Chen Xin was dumbfounded by the barrage of questions and hesitantly replied, "It's been awhile… Who is Yixiaochuan?"
Zhao Gao: "A self-righteous person. So, does that mean there is no deity in his head?"
He's taking me for a god? Chen Xin felt like laughing. This antagonist didn't seem to have much of a presence; did he pose any threat?
"No, no, you are the chosen one, which makes you special."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao was startled, then slapped a bamboo scroll down on the table excitedly, "Exactly, I knew my journey here wasn't as a mere common antagonist!"
With five lines of dialogue complete, the scene before Zhao Gao's eyes immediately twisted. He went from a quaint and refined room to a vast platform, with a handsome white-haired man standing beside him.
And around them, a dense crowd of people!
Watching Zhao Gao's bewildered expression, Lin Yi sported a slight smile on the outside, but internally he was screaming absurdity. The intersection of two different dimensions provided such a strong sense of disconnection, it really fucked with his sense of immersion!
Whilst the image of this antagonist was a bit unexpected for Chen Xin, he was still ready to test the other's strength.
"You, attack me with your strongest skill," Chen Xin ordered, after calling forth the Seven Kills Sword. Its white light flickered menacingly, the sharp aura causing Zhao Gao's legs to tremble involuntarily.
He looked around in shock at everything, wondering if he was dreaming, questioning whether everything since his travel was just a dream, wondering if when he awoke, he would still be cooking braised pork for his sister...
But his body, beyond his control, followed the command and rushed towards Chen Xin, putting all his might into a punch aimed at Chen Xin's chest!
Chen Xin stood, dumbfounded, as the Seven Kills Sword almost fell to the ground...
The strength of a tickle.
He couldn't help but question his life and asked, "Which villain are you from?"
With a "thump," Zhao Gao immediately knelt down.
"I'm sorry! I'm just an insignificant character; I'm not a villain! I'm a good person! Damn it, if I had a choice, who would want to be a bad guy? Why not just send me back to Earth? Spare me, please! I still have a sister... or you could send me back to the Qin Dynasty, I haven't even enjoyed myself there, and now I've time-traveled again..."
Listening to the torrent of heartfelt words spewed by the other party, with snot and tears streaming, Chen Xin was completely dumbfounded. He turned to look at Lin Yi, only to hear Lin Yi say:
"The world he's from has very low martial strength, and he's just a strategist type of villain, without any martial prowess."
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment and hurriedly tried to clarify in a fluster, "I... I'm not good at strategizing! I just wanted to survive, only to live on..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xin sent him back. As the owner of the reward, he had the ability to send villains back ahead of time.
"It seems my luck isn't great today, but it's a good thing I had him attack me first to gauge his offensive capabilities..."
"Such is the randomness of the rewards; of course, if the level of the reward were higher, perhaps the chances of getting a stronger person would have been greater."
Lin Yi's words made Chen Xin scratch his head involuntarily.
He took out that silver-white bow again; the bow's appearance was exquisite, looking like it was transformed from the lithe figure of a graceful woman.
But what kind of arrow to use for this attack... Chen Xin surveyed his surroundings. If he used a human arrow, anyone stronger than Gu Rong would not be in their Tiandou camp.
Everyone was a competitor; there was no reason to help you for no reason.
So use a non-living thing.
Use a mountain!
Senior Lin Yi had said that for non-living targets, you just needed to use an independent entity that could be completely contained within your field of vision. Chen Xin looked around Soul City and locked his eyes on a mountain range.
This mountain was about five hundred meters tall, barren on top, and seemed somewhat far from their position; the target could only become an arrow for five seconds.
So Chen Xin needed to transform the mountain into an arrow within five seconds, attack, and after the assault, throw the arrow back to its original place to let it turn back into a mountain...
The difficulty was somewhat high, but without trying, how could he know if it could succeed?
He lifted his sword finger; sword light emerged, the snow-white Seven Kills Sword expanded in size and floated in mid-air. Chen Xin leapt up and, like a sword immortal, quickly flew past everyone's heads toward the mountain range.
Miss Ning looked up at this scene, recalling how, as a child, she had greatly admired this man because of this very spectacle.
In just five seconds, Chen Xin arrived at the mountain's edge. Standing on the sword, bow in his left hand and mountain in his right, the entire massive mountain rumbled, shrank, and lifted, turning into a black-green arrow held in his right hand.
Five-second countdown!
Chen Xin did not dare delay; he immediately turned back the way he came, taking three seconds to reach the halfway point, and then decided to draw the bow and shoot the arrow!
"Whoosh!"
The black-green arrow was so fast that it was truly as heavy as a mountain.
It struck Lin Yi's chest hard, with a deafening noise.
But the next moment, Lin Yi caught the arrow and tossed it back in Chen Xin's direction.
Senior Lin Yi is helping me put the mountain back in its place!
Chen Xin immediately understood, caught the arrow thrown by Lin Yi mid-air, simultaneously turned the arrow around to use the tail as its head, drew the light string on the bow, and shot it towards an open area ahead!
"Whoosh!"
ps. Today was the first time I went out drinking with a girl from my class, and she's the class beauty, no less. I, having been single since birth, feel greatly honored, even though she has a boyfriend.
We're about to graduate, so gentlemen, allow me this one night of indulgence! Plus, my head is splitting now; I can only update once today. Regular updates will resume tomorrow!
