The strong one is actually me?!

Super God: Plundering entries! Start with Hypnotizing Angel Yan
Chapter 1 Super God World
Zhang Qiu’s consciousness seemed to sink into a bottomless cold quagmire, or to be torn madly by countless invisible claws. The severe pain coming from the deepest part of his soul made him almost think that he would completely disappear.
He didn’t know how long this torturous feeling lasted, perhaps a moment, perhaps eternity.
When the tearing feeling finally receded like a tide and a faint light shone into his perception again, he found that he had barely regained a little consciousness. “
He struggled to open his extremely heavy eyelids, and the first thing that came into view was a magnificent sight that could not be accurately described by any known words.
The sky was not the azure blue that he remembered, but a dreamy lavender, dotted with countless tiny, diamond-like sparkling points of light.
Directly above him, or rather, as far as he could perceive, “above”, was a huge golden building complex that stretched endlessly and had no end in sight.
These buildings are not standing on the earth, but are inexplicably suspended above the clouds, like mythical cities in the sky.
They exude a soft and majestic golden light all over their bodies. The light is not dazzling, but instead carries an indescribable sacredness and warmth that makes people involuntarily feel awe.
The air is filled with strange energy particles that are visible to the naked eye. They are like billions of tiny fireflies, floating slowly in the air, flashing colorful halos.
Zhang Qiu could feel that these particles seemed to contain some kind of pure and powerful energy. With every breath, a very small amount was inhaled into his body, bringing a slight sense of comfort, but compared to the huge emptiness deep in his soul at this moment, it was just a drop in the bucket.
He tried to recall and figure out why he ended up in such a place.
Fragments of memory flashed intermittently in his mind like broken mirrors.
He only vaguely remembered that he seemed to have encountered a sudden accident, but he could not remember what the accident was.
All he remembered was that after the accident, there was endless darkness, and a terrifying tearing feeling that seemed to crush his entire soul.
And then, it’s now.
At this moment, he could clearly feel his physical condition.
An unprecedented feeling of lightness enveloped him, as if he had lost most of his weight, as if a slight breeze could blow him away.
This feeling was very strange and made him extremely insecure.
What’s worse is that a feeling of weakness from the depths of his soul was like a maggot on his tarsal bones, tightly entangling him and making even the simplest standing extremely difficult. His legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, yet they were staggering because of the damn feeling of weightlessness, as if he would fall at any time.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand, trying to hold onto something to steady his body, but found himself lying on a strange patch of grass that emitted a faint fluorescent light.
The grass is not green, but a clear silver-white color. Every blade of grass seems to be carved from crystal, sparkling with a soft luster.
He struggled, using all his strength to barely sit up from the ground.
Looking around, in addition to the magnificent golden buildings above the head and the strange grassland under the feet, there is a hazy sea of clouds in the distance, rolling endlessly, isolating this place from the outside world.
It was too quiet here. Apart from the barely audible hum of energy particles flowing through the air, there was no other sound.
Zhang Qiu’s heart sank little by little.
He was not a fool. Everything before him clearly told him that this was definitely not the world he was familiar with.
Whether it was the suspended city, the glowing grass, or the energy particles in the air, they were all far beyond his understanding.
He was probably in a completely new world that was far beyond his imagination, a place that could only exist in myths and legends.
The unknown is often accompanied by great danger.
Especially in a world that seems to be full of mystery and power, the situation of an “outsider” like him who is powerless and even has difficulty standing firm can be imagined.
A chill rose from the soles of my feet and quickly spread throughout my body.
He must understand the situation here as soon as possible and find a safe place to hide, otherwise, he has no doubt that he will become a meal for some unknown existence in this magnificent world, or worse.
He took a deep breath, tried to suppress the panic and anxiety in his heart, and forced himself to calm down.
Now is not the time to feel sorry for yourself, staying alive is the most important thing.
He looked around vigilantly at every corner, trying to find any possible clues or a hiding place where he could temporarily stay.
His eyes swept across those huge golden buildings, and he couldn’t help wondering what kind of existence was inside them? Was it a god, a demon, or some other incredible life?
Just as Zhang Qiu was trying hard to adapt to this unfamiliar environment, his nerves were tense, trying to find a glimmer of hope before the crisis really came, something strange happened.
In the sky, on the dreamy lavender sky, several dazzling streaks of light suddenly flashed across.
The stream of light was extremely fast, like a falling meteor, dragging a long tail of light, and coming straight towards him.
Zhang Qiu’s heart skipped a beat and an ominous premonition instantly enveloped him.
He wanted to hide, but his weak body prevented him from reacting quickly.
He could only watch as those streaks of light got closer and clearer.
After a moment, the light faded away, and two female creatures wearing gorgeous silver armor and with white wings on their backs slowly landed not far from him.
Their postures are tall and graceful, and their silver armor gleams with a cold luster under the reflection of the surrounding light. Each piece of armor looks like a meticulously crafted work of art, full of power and beauty.
Behind their backs, each of them stretched out a pair of huge and white wings, with plump and soft feathers. When they flapped gently, they brought up a breeze and rolled up a few crystal-like grass leaves on the ground.
The appearance of these two female creatures was absolutely beautiful, their facial features were as delicate as if they were carved by divine craftsmanship, their skin was fair and delicate, and there was a faint halo.
Their hair was a brilliant golden color, casually draped over their shoulders, fluttering gently as they moved.
However, in stark contrast to their stunning looks are their eyes that are as sharp as blades.
Those eyes were full of vigilance, scrutiny, and a barely perceptible coldness, as if they could see through people’s hearts.
In their hands, each of them held a strangely shaped energy weapon.
The weapon seemed to be made of some unknown metal. The gun body was slender and the tip of the gun flashed a dangerous blue light. It was obviously not a decoration.
Judging from the way they skillfully held their weapons and the solemn aura of long-trained soldiers, they were undoubtedly some kind of patrolling guards, responsible for protecting this area.

Their appearance made Zhang Qiu, who was already nervous, even more nervous.
He could feel that the eyes of these two “angel”-like creatures were firmly fixed on him.
When they discovered Zhang Qiu, the uninvited guest, their beautiful face, which was already expressionless, was now covered with a layer of frost.
They immediately took a defensive posture, slightly raised the energy weapons in their hands, and pointed the gun tips directly at Zhang Qiu, as if they would attack without hesitation if he made the slightest movement.
One of the angels with slightly larger wings took a small step forward. She opened her red lips and asked Zhang Qiu something in a clear but majestic tone.
Her voice was as clear and pleasant as icy spring water dripping onto a jade plate, but the vigilance and unquestionable pressure in her tone made Zhang Qiu feel an inexplicable palpitation.
Zhang Qiu had absolutely no idea what they were saying.
The pronunciation and syllable structure of that language were completely different from any language he knew.
However, the language barrier did not prevent him from understanding their attitudes.
From their tense bodies, vigilant eyes and the direction of their weapons, he could clearly feel the undisguised vigilance and strong hostility in their tone.
Trouble is coming.
And it’s a huge trouble.
Zhang Qiu couldn’t help smiling bitterly in his heart.
He had just arrived in this strange world and hadn’t even figured out the directions. He hadn’t even fully adapted to his physical condition when he ran into the “law enforcers” here.
Judging from their attitude, it was clear that they didn’t seem like they would be friendly enough to invite him for a cup of tea and then patiently listen to him explain his origins.
He tried to raise his hands, making a gesture to show that he meant no harm.
But his body was so weak that even the simple action of raising his arms seemed extremely difficult.
His face was extremely pale due to blood loss and the trauma of his soul, and his lips were a little chapped.
He wanted to say something, even just make a sound to show that he was harmless, but his throat was so dry that he couldn’t make any sound.
The two patrolling angels saw that Zhang Qiu was just sitting on the ground motionless, neither answering their questions nor having any other reaction, and the vigilance in their eyes became even stronger.
They looked at each other, as if communicating something with their eyes.
Then, they began to approach Zhang Qiu step by step.
Their footsteps were so light that they made almost no sound, but every step seemed to be stepping on Zhang Qiu’s heart, making him feel a suffocating pressure.
The silver armor on their bodies made a slight friction sound as they moved, and the sound was particularly clear in the silent environment.
The faint blue light on the energy weapons in their hands began to become brighter and brighter, more and more condensed, emitting a heart-pounding and dangerous aura.
Zhang Qiu could clearly feel that the energy condensed in the weapon was constantly rising, as if it would unleash a fatal blow at any time.
Beads of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead and his heart was beating wildly in his chest, almost jumping out of his throat.
He knew that he was between life and death.
If he cannot find a way to resolve the current crisis, I am afraid that his soul, which has just experienced “rebirth”, will face the fate of dissipating again.
He racked his brain, trying to find a glimmer of hope.
Beg for mercy? There was a language barrier, and judging from their indifferent looks, they probably wouldn’t accept it.
Resist? No kidding, he was having a hard time even standing up, let alone fighting against these two winged female warriors who looked very powerful.
Escape? That was a fantasy. He couldn’t even outrun them by a feather.
The feeling of despair was like a cold tide, drowning him little by little.
He could almost foresee that in the next second, the energy weapon that was flashing with dangerous light would pierce through his body.
At this critical moment, the patrolling angels had already walked to within five meters of him, with the energy weapons in their hands raised high, as if they were about to launch an attack at the next moment.
Zhang Qiu even closed his eyes, preparing to face the inevitable death.
However, at this moment, a cold and mechanical prompt sound suddenly sounded in his mind without any warning:
“Ding! The host’s soul fluctuations are detected to be stable, meeting the activation conditions.”
“【Plunder Entry System】is officially launched!”
This sudden sound was like a huge rock thrown into a silent deep pool, which made Zhang Qiu stunned.
He opened his eyes subconsciously, his face full of surprise and confusion.
Then, before he could react, a light blue, translucent interface suddenly unfolded before his eyes, like a holographic projection in a science fiction movie.
The interface was suspended in the air and only he could see it.
It listed some text information that he could barely understand, which seemed to be introducing the basic functions of this so-called [Plunder Entry System].
This sudden change not only stunned Zhang Qiu himself, but also caused the two patrol angels who were about to launch an attack to pause slightly.
They seemed to have noticed some subtle changes in Zhang Qiu. Although they could not see the light blue system interface, Zhang Qiu’s instantly changing expression and the sudden indescribable fluctuation in his body still made them hesitate for a moment.
The energy weapons in their hands were still held high, and the dangerous light condensed at the tips of the weapons had not dissipated, but there was a hint of doubt and caution in their eyes.
They didn’t understand what had happened to this seemingly weak visitor from another world.
At this moment, Zhang Qiu no longer cared about the two patrol angels who were eyeing him covetously.
His entire mind was attracted by the light blue system interface that suddenly appeared before him.
“system?”
He silently repeated this familiar yet unfamiliar word in his mind.
In his previous life, he had more or less come into contact with some online novels or games, so he was naturally not completely unfamiliar with something like “system”.
However, he never imagined that this thing that existed only in his fantasy would actually happen to him, and at such a critical moment of life and death.
He forced himself to calm down and concentrate on looking at the light blue translucent interface.
The interface design is very simple, with a few eye-catching large characters at the top – [Plunder Entry System].
The following is an introduction to the basic functions of the system.
Zhang Qiu had a hard time reading because the amount of information was quite large and it was written in a language that he could understand but was a little awkward.
But he still tried hard to capture the key information.
According to the initial prompts on the system interface, the core function of this [Plundering Entry System] seems to be to enable him to observe the “entries” possessed by other life forms, and when certain conditions are met, plunder these “entries” for his own use.
Chapter 3 Lillian (Old Version)
“Entry?”
Zhang Qiu was full of doubts.
What is this?
Just as he was thinking, the information about the “entry” began to be clearly displayed on the system interface.
The first is the division of [entry levels].
On the system interface, lines of text clearly appeared:
[Entry Level]: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, Grandmaster, King.
Behind each level, there seems to be a level of power.
From bronze to king, the hierarchy is strict and clear at a glance.
Although Zhang Qiu didn’t understand what these levels meant specifically, he could roughly guess that the higher the level of the entry, the stronger its effect and power would naturally be.
Then, the system gave a new prompt: “Host can try to observe the entry information of nearby life forms.”
Nearby life forms? Zhang Qiu’s eyes subconsciously passed over the system interface and cast towards the two patrol angels who were still in an attacking posture but with eyes full of vigilance and doubt.
They are the living beings closest to him at this moment.
As his eyes focused on the two patrolling angels, something magical happened.
Just as the system prompted, above their beautiful heads, a few lines of small light golden words appeared.
These small words are also translucent, and it seems that only Zhang Qiu himself can see them.
The two patrolling angels were unaware of this and continued to stare at him closely.
Zhang Qiu’s heart moved, and he quickly concentrated and looked carefully at the words above the head of one of the patrol angels.
Because the distance was still several meters and he was in a bad mental state at the moment, the words seemed a little blurry.
He blinked hard, trying to see more clearly.
Gradually, the small pale golden words became clear in his eyes.
The first person he looked at was the patrol angel with slightly larger wings, who seemed to be the leader.
Above her head, the following lines of information were clearly displayed:
[Name: Lillian (Patrol Team Leader)][Race: Feathered People (Sub-Angels)][Level: Second level primary][Status: alert, vigilant]【Entry】：
[Bronze – Angel Patrol Instinct]: Passive item.
It can slightly increase its perception range when performing patrol missions and improve its alertness to abnormal situations.
[Silver – Basic Fighting Skills]: Passive item.
He has mastered the basic fighting skills of the Feathered People and can effectively use his body for close combat attacks and defense.
[Silver – Energy Weapon Mastery (Basic)]: Passive item.
Able to initially use standard energy spears in combat and unleash their basic power.
[Bronze – Flying Skills (Skilled)]: Passive item.
Able to skillfully use wings for flying, hovering and aerial maneuvers.
Seeing this information, huge waves rose in Zhang Qiu’s heart.
“I can actually see it!”
He could hardly believe his eyes.
The function of this [Plunder Entry System] is even more magical and powerful than he imagined.
Not only can you see the other party’s basic information such as name, race, and level, but even the “entries” that the other party possesses and the specific effects of the entries can be clearly displayed.
He suppressed his excitement and shock and turned his gaze to another patrolling angel.
The angel looked a little younger, and his wings were slightly smaller.
A similar message appeared above her head:
[Name: Emily (Patrol Team Member)][Level: Peak Level 1][Status: nervous, alert][Bronze – Basic Fighting Skills (Beginner)]: Passive item.
I have initially mastered the basic fighting skills of the Feathered People, but I am not yet proficient in them.
[Bronze – Flying Skills (Mastery)]: Passive item.
Able to use wings for basic flight and hovering.
Comparing the information of the two patrol angels, Zhang Qiu discovered that the captain named Lillian was slightly better than the team member named Emily in terms of level and the quality and quantity of entries.
For example, Lillian’s [Basic Combat Skills] is at the silver level, while Emily’s is only at the bronze level and is marked as “entry-level”.
Lillian’s flying skill is “skilled” and Emily’s is “mastered”.
The existence of these entries allowed Zhang Qiu to have a relatively intuitive and preliminary assessment of the strength of the two “birdmen” or “feathered people” in front of him.
They are not just for show, but real fighters.
Especially the energy spears in their hands that were flashing with faint blue light, combined with the entry [Silver – Energy Weapon Mastery (Elementary)], were obviously able to unleash extraordinary power.
“Bronze, Silver” Zhang Qiu silently recited these two levels.
It seems that these two levels should be considered relatively basic levels in this world.
But even so, it was an insurmountable gap for him who was unarmed and weak at the moment.
However, the emergence of the system and the appearance of these entry information undoubtedly gave him a glimmer of hope.
At least, he was no longer completely in the dark and knew nothing about his enemy.
If I could make good use of this system, maybe I could really find a way to survive!
Just as Zhang Qiu was immersed in the shock brought by the system and the analysis of the entry information, the patience of the two patrolling angels seemed to have run out.
They saw Zhang Qiu just sitting on the ground in a daze for a while, then looking at the top of their heads with a wandering look, and his behavior became more and more weird, and their vigilance and impatience reached a peak.
They no longer hesitated. The patrol captain named Lillian’s eyes suddenly turned cold and she let out a meaningless low growl.
The next moment, she took the lead in launching an attack!
Lillian’s movements were as fast as lightning, totally unlike what her heavy silver armor would indicate.
The white wings behind her fluttered violently, and her whole body turned into a silver stream of light, instantly crossing a distance of several meters. The energy spear in her hand drew an extremely sharp arc, and the tip of the spear flashed a dazzling blue light, with a whistling sound that tore through the air, and pierced Zhang Qiu’s throat!
The shot was fired at an extremely fast speed and at an extremely tricky angle, and it was obviously a killing move that had been honed over and over again.
The fierce gust of wind blowing in his face and the deadly chill emanating from the tip of the gun made Zhang Qiu’s pupils shrink suddenly.

Chapter 4: First appearance of entries (old version)
The shadow of death falls again!
Although Zhang Qiu’s soul was weak and his body was extremely tired, some instinctive reactions left over from his previous life were still there.
At the critical moment of life and death, he almost subconsciously burst out all his potential.
He rolled backwards suddenly, and his body rolled out on the crystal grass in an extremely embarrassing posture.
“Swish!”
The tip of the energy spear almost brushed against the tip of his nose, bringing up a few strands of severed hair.
A hot breath brushed across his cheek, causing him to feel a sting.
He could even smell the burnt smell of his hair after it was burned by the energy.
That was a close call!
Zhang Qiu felt a wave of fear in his heart, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
If his reaction had been even a tenth of a second slower, his head would have been pierced by the energy spear.
However, the crisis was not resolved.
Just as he rolled over in a panic, narrowly avoiding Lillian’s fatal blow, another patrolling angel, Emily, also attacked from the flank.
Although her speed was slightly slower than Lillian’s, it was definitely not comparable to Zhang Qiu’s current condition.
The energy spear in her hand also flashed a dangerous light, blocking Zhang Qiu’s route to dodge to the side.
After missing the first attack, Lillian did not pause at all. She shook her wrist and the energy spear came out like a poisonous snake out of a hole, sweeping towards Zhang Qiu who had just stabilized his body, aiming directly at his waist and abdomen.
And Emily’s attack was already within reach.
Zhang Qiu instantly fell into an absolute disadvantage of two against one.
He had just escaped a disaster and before he had time to catch his breath, he was once again faced with the desperate situation of being attacked from both sides.
His face was as pale as paper and his breathing became rapid.
He knew that this time, he really couldn’t escape.
His body had already consumed what little strength he had because of the extreme tumbling just now, and now he felt even weaker.
However, the two patrolling angels seemed to have unlimited energy. They launched wave after wave of attacks, not giving him any chance to breathe.
Lillian’s attacks were powerful and each shot carried a tremendous force, as if to crush him flat on his face.
Emily’s attacks were more agile, specifically targeting his weaknesses and blind spots that were difficult to defend.
The two men worked in perfect harmony, and it was obvious that they often carried out missions together and fought against enemies together.
Zhang Qiu could only rely on his instinct for survival and some vague combat awareness left over from his previous life to dodge in a panic as he was caught between the two men’s attacks.
He was like a small boat in a storm, which could be swallowed by the huge waves at any time.
Every time he dodged, he consumed his already limited physical and mental strength.
He could feel that his movements were getting slower and slower, and his reactions were becoming more and more sluggish.
However, the attacks of the two patrolling angels continued like the tide, with no signs of weakening.
“This won’t work. Sooner or later I will be exhausted to death by them.” Zhang Qiu was extremely anxious. His brain was working rapidly, trying to find a way out of the impasse.
His eyes once again glanced at the entry information above the heads of the two patrolling angels.
[Silver – Basic Combat Skills], [Silver – Energy Weapon Mastery (Elementary)]These entries clearly told him that the other party was a professionally trained warrior, while he himself was just an ordinary person who had just traveled through time and was in a weak body.
In a head-on confrontation, he has no chance of winning.
“Plunder entry system plunder” The two words in the system name suddenly flashed through Zhang Qiu’s mind.
“That’s right! Plunder! Since this system is called the Plunder Entry System, its core function must be to plunder the opponent’s entries!”
A thought flashed through his mind like lightning.
But how to plunder? The system did not give any specific instructions.
Moreover, even if he could plunder, which entry should he plunder? After plundering, would it be effective immediately and help him get out of the current predicament?
A series of questions arose in his mind, but the crisis before him did not allow him to think too much.
“puff!”
With a dull thud, Zhang Qiu felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder.
It turned out that Emily seized an opportunity. Although the energy spear in her hand did not pierce him directly, the spear shaft hit his shoulder hard.
The huge force caused him to stagger to the side and almost fall to the ground.
The intense pain made Zhang Qiu’s eyes go dark. He clenched his teeth to prevent himself from crying out in pain.
He could feel that the bone in his left shoulder might have been broken.
“hateful!”
Zhang Qiu was anxious and angry.
He didn’t want to die. He had just come into this world and there were still many things he didn’t understand. He didn’t want to die here in obscurity.
The desire to survive burned in his heart like a flame.
He endured the severe pain in his shoulder and concentrated his mind again, looking at the entries above the heads of the two patrolling angels.
“We must find a way, we must find a way”
His eyes flickered back and forth over the entries.
[Bronze – Angel Patrol Instinct] This entry seems to be biased towards perception and vigilance, and is of little help to his current battle.
[Silver – Basic Combat Techniques] If he could plunder this entry, his melee ability might be improved, but the problem is that he doesn’t even have a decent weapon now, and his physical fitness can’t keep up.
[Silver – Energy Weapon Mastery (Elementary)] This entry looks very tempting. If he can master the use of energy weapons, his combat effectiveness will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
But the prerequisite is that he must first have an energy weapon.
Moreover, does the term “plunder” mean that he can conjure up an energy weapon out of thin air? Zhang Qiu thought it was unlikely.
[Bronze – Flying Skills] This entry is of no use to him for the time being.
He could hardly even stand now, let alone fly.
Just when Zhang Qiu was extremely anxious and unable to make a decision, Lillian’s attack came again.
This time, her energy spear went straight for Zhang Qiu’s chest, faster and with more force than before.
Obviously, she had lost her patience and wanted to get rid of this troublesome alien visitor as soon as possible.
Zhang Qiu’s pupils shrank sharply. He knew that he might not be able to dodge this attack.
His physical strength was almost exhausted, and the injury on his shoulder seriously affected his movements.
Am I really going to die here?
No! I can’t die!
Between life and death, an idea suddenly flashed through Zhang Qiu’s mind.
Chapter 5: Danger (Old Version)
“System! I want to plunder! I want to plunder entries!”
He screamed wildly in his heart.
Almost at the moment when this thought came to his mind, the cold and mechanical system prompt sounded again in his mind:
“Ding! The host’s strong desire to plunder is detected. Please select the plunder target and plunder terms.”
Immediately afterwards, on the system interface in front of Zhang Qiu, the entry information of the two patrol angels suddenly became selectable.
Behind each entry, there appeared a small, glowing “Plunder” button.
“It’s true!”
Zhang Qiu was delighted, but was soon replaced by deep anxiety.
He didn’t have time to choose carefully.
Lillian’s attack was already very close, and the deadly tip of the gun almost touched his clothes.
He has to make a choice in an instant!
Which entry to choose?
At this moment, Zhang Qiu’s mind went blank and all thoughts seemed to have stopped.
The only thing he could do was to rely on his instinct and choose an entry that he thought was most likely to help him overcome the current difficulties.
His eyes subconsciously fell on the entry [Silver – Basic Combat Technique] above Lillian’s head.
Although he had no weapons and was weak, fighting skills directly acted on the body’s instincts.
If he had basic fighting skills, at least his dodging and response would be more effective, so he wouldn’t have to passively take the beating like he is now.
“That’s it!”
Zhang Qiu made up his mind and almost used his mind to fiercely click the “Plunder” button behind the [Silver – Basic Fighting Skills] entry above Lillian’s head.
The moment he made his choice, the system prompt sounded again:
“Ding! Select the target of plunder: Lillian.
Select the looting entry: [Silver-Basic Combat Technique]. “
“Determining looting conditions”
“Judgment Condition 1: The host and the target have substantial contact or combat.
The conditions are met. ”
“Judgment condition two: The host’s soul strength is higher than the target’s soul mark strength contained in this entry.
“Under determination”
Hearing this, Zhang Qiu’s heart suddenly rose.
Soul strength? His current soul state is extremely weak! If the soul strength is insufficient, doesn’t it mean that the plunder has failed?
Just as he was feeling uneasy, Lillian’s energy spear had already pierced his chest with unrivaled power.
He could even feel the cold murderous intent on the tip of the gun.
It’s over!
Zhang Qiu felt a chill in his heart.
Even if the plunder is successful, it may be too late.
However, just when the tip of the gun was about to pierce his chest, something strange happened again!
A strange warm current suddenly emerged from the depths of Zhang Qiu’s soul and instantly spread throughout his limbs.
Immediately afterwards, countless fighting techniques, experiences, and muscle memories flooded into his mind and merged into his body like a tide.
These fighting skills, including various punches, kicks, dodging, blocking, grappling, and counterattacks, are just basic fighting techniques, but for Zhang Qiu, who has never received professional training, they are like a complete transformation.
Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded again:
“Judgment condition two is met! The host’s soul is of a special nature, and has a suppressive effect on low-level soul marks.”
“【Silver-Basic Combat Technique】Plundered successfully!”
“The effect of the entry has been activated. The host has temporarily mastered [Silver-Basic Combat Technique] (due to physical limitations, only part of the effect can be exerted at present).”
It’s a long story, but it all happened in a flash.
At the moment when [Silver – Basic Fighting Skills] was successfully plundered and the effect of the entry was activated, Zhang Qiu’s body seemed to be injected with a new vitality.
His eyes suddenly became sharp. Originally they were a little dazed due to weakness and fear, but now they were full of calmness and concentration.
Faced with Lillian’s sure-hit shot, Zhang Qiu’s body reacted almost instinctively.
His feet suddenly twisted at an incredible angle, and his body slid half a step to the left like a civet cat, narrowly avoiding the direct thrust of the gun tip.
At the same time, his right hand shot out as fast as lightning and accurately grabbed the shaft of Lillian’s energy spear!
This movement was smooth and seamless, and it did not seem like something he could have done in his previous weak state.
Lillian obviously did not expect that Zhang Qiu could dodge her determined shot, and she did not expect that the other party would dare to grab her gun.
For the first time, a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.
“Um?”
She let out a snort of uncertainty.
The moment he grabbed the gun barrel, Zhang Qiu felt a huge force coming from the gun barrel, which made his arm numb.
But he gritted his teeth, held the gun tightly and did not let go.
[Silver – Basic Fighting Techniques] brings not only fighting skills, but also an instinctive understanding of the use of strength.
He could feel that although Lillian’s shot was powerful, it contained some flaws that could be exploited.
At the moment when Lillian paused for a moment because of surprise, Zhang Qiu’s eyes flashed, and his right hand that was holding Fang’s gun suddenly pressed down. At the same time, his left foot took a half step forward, his body’s center of gravity sank, and his waist exerted force, and a burst of clever power burst out instantly.
“Come here!”
Zhang Qiu roared in his heart.
Lillian only felt an unexpected force coming from the energy spear in her hand. The spear body sank involuntarily, and her whole body’s center of gravity was also caused to stagger, and she stumbled forward a step.
She was shocked and had no idea how this alien visitor, who had just been like a lamb to be slaughtered, could suddenly launch such a precise and effective counterattack.
She tried to steady herself and regain control of the spear, but it was too late.
Zhang Qiu seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and took advantage of it.
He suddenly raised his left hand, and with his elbow at a tricky angle, he hit Lillian’s ribs, which were exposed because of her forward lean!
This elbow condensed all the strength of his body, as well as the force-generating techniques contained in [Silver – Basic Fighting Techniques].
Although his physical condition is still weak, this attack should not be underestimated.
“Bang!”
With a dull thud, Zhang Qiu’s elbow hit Lillian’s silver armor hard.
Lillian groaned, and felt a piercing pain coming from her ribs, which made her gasp for air instantly.
Chapter 6: First Plunder (Old Version)
Although she was protected by armor, the force still penetrated the armor and caused her blood to boil.
Her body involuntarily bent to one side, and the energy spear in her hand almost slipped out of her hand.
At this moment, Emily, who had come from the flank, had also approached.
Seeing that her captain was forced into such a miserable state by Zhang Qiu, a trace of anxiety and anger flashed in her eyes, and the energy spear in her hand stabbed towards Zhang Qiu’s back without hesitation.
Although Zhang Qiu successfully fought back against Lillian, he did not get carried away by it.
He kept an eye on Emily’s movements.
While elbowing Lillian, he had already sensed the threat coming from behind.
He did not look back, but relied on the fighting instinct brought by [Silver-Basic Combat Technique] to suddenly crouch down, and at the same time, he pulled back with his right hand that was holding Lillian’s spear.
Lillian was caught off guard and staggered again by Zhang Qiu, her body involuntarily moving towards Emily’s spear.
“Captain, be careful!”
Emily was shocked when she saw this and tried to retract her spear, but it was too late.
“Puff!”
A slight tearing sound was heard.
Although Emily’s energy spear deflected at the last moment and did not hit Lillian’s vitals, it still scratched the armor on Lillian’s arm, leaving a shallow mark and making a harsh friction sound.
Although no substantial damage was caused, the sudden change still surprised the two patrolling angels.
Lillian was shocked and angry. She swung her arms violently to break free from Zhang Qiu’s control, and at the same time took several steps back to distance herself from Zhang Qiu.
She covered her ribs that were hit by the elbow and looked at Zhang Qiu with cold eyes, her face full of disbelief.
She couldn’t understand why this seemingly frail guy could burst out with such amazing fighting power in just a short moment.
The movements and fighting skills he just performed were clearly something that only a rigorously trained warrior could master.
Emily also hurriedly retracted her spear and retreated to Lillian’s side. She looked at Zhang Qiu vigilantly and asked with concern, “Captain, are you okay?”
There was worry in her voice.
Lillian shook her head to indicate that she was fine.
But the look she gave Zhang Qiu became more solemn than ever before.
“Who are you?”
Lillian asked again in that clear language.
Although Zhang Qiu still didn’t understand, the vigilance and alertness in her tone were several times stronger than before.
Zhang Qiu was also panting at this moment, and his face looked even paler due to the intense exercise and blood loss.
The series of actions just now almost exhausted the little bit of physical strength he had just recovered from plundering entries.
He could feel that his body was almost reaching its limit.
But he succeeded! Not only did he survive, he also successfully fought back and temporarily forced them back.
The effect of [Silver – Basic Fighting Technique] is even more powerful than he imagined.
Although he was unable to fully unleash the power of this entry due to his physical limitations, the fighting skills and combat instincts contained therein alone had already brought about a drastic change in him.
He glanced at his hands, feeling the vague sense of familiarity in his body, which was the instinct of a fighter.
He knew that from this moment on, he was no longer the weakling who could be bullied at will.
However, he also knew that the current crisis had not been completely resolved.
The two patrolling angels were only temporarily forced back by him; their strength was still far above his.
Especially the energy weapons in their hands are still a deadly threat to him.
He must find a way to get out of this predicament as soon as possible, or find the capital to compete with them.
His gaze once again turned to the entry information above the heads of the two patrolling angels.
“I can still continue to plunder!”
A bold idea arose in his mind.
Zhang Qiu’s heart began to beat violently because of this bold idea.
He had just been to the gates of hell, and the fear of being on the verge of death had not yet completely dissipated. However, the huge changes brought about by [Silver – Basic Fighting Skills] and the magical plundering ability of the system were like a shot in the arm, which rekindled the flame of hope in him.
He forced himself to calm down.
At the critical moment of life and death, his mind became unusually clear.
He knew that now was not the time to be complacent. Although the two patrol angels, Lillian and Emily, were temporarily forced back by him, their strength should not be underestimated, especially the energy spears in their hands that flashed with dangerous light. Once hit head-on, the consequences would be disastrous.
He must seize every opportunity to increase his strength, even if only a little bit.
His eyes, as sharp as an eagle’s, locked onto the entry above the head of patrol leader Lillian.
Just now, he plundered her [Silver – Basic Fighting Skills] at the critical moment.
So, what about the other entries?
[Bronze – Angel Patrol Instinct], [Silver – Energy Weapon Mastery (Basic)], [Bronze – Flying Skills (Proficient)].
Each of these entries exudes an alluring glow.
[Energy Weapon Mastery (Elementary)] is undoubtedly the most attractive.
If he could master the use of energy weapons and then manage to get a weapon, his combat effectiveness would experience a qualitative leap.
But the problem is that he doesn’t have any energy weapons now. Even if he plundered this entry, he probably wouldn’t be able to use it immediately.
Moreover, such entries involving energy manipulation would probably be more difficult and costly to plunder.
[Flying skills] are also very tempting.
In this place which is obviously a city in the sky, being able to fly will undoubtedly bring huge convenience and survival advantages.
But at the same time, he is now physically weak, and even if he learns to fly, he may not be able to sustain it.
As for [Angel Patrol Instinct], this entry is more about perception and vigilance. Although it is useful, it does not seem to be the most direct help in the current battle situation.
Just as Zhang Qiu was quickly weighing the pros and cons, he noticed that on the system interface, the entry [Silver – Basic Combat Techniques] above Lillian’s head was still faintly flashing a light golden glow.
This seems to mean that this entry is still in a special state.
His heart moved, and he carefully recalled the content of the system prompt just now.
Chapter 7 Combat Mastery (Old Version)
“Temporarily in control?”
Zhang Qiu captured this word keenly.
This means that his current grasp of this entry may not be permanent, or in other words, it is not solid enough.
Then, a new system prompt quietly emerged in his mind:
“Ding! It was detected that the host successfully plundered an entry for the first time. The novice benefit is activated: for the first plunder of the same type, same level or lower level entry, the plunder success rate is greatly increased and the consumption is reduced.
This benefit is only available for first-time raid targets.”
An entry of the same type, level, or lower level than the first loot?
Zhang Qiu’s gaze once again fell on the still flashing [Silver – Basic Combat Skills] entry above Lillian’s head.
A bold and somewhat crazy idea rose up in his mind uncontrollably.
Since it is “temporarily controlled”, does that mean that he can plunder this entry again, make it more stable, or even completely make it his own?
Once this idea came into being, it was like a wildfire that could never be extinguished.
The changes that [Silver – Basic Fighting Skills] brought to him were real.
That sense of control over his body and that instinctive understanding of combat brought him sweetness.
If he could further strengthen this ability, he would undoubtedly be more confident about the upcoming battle.
Moreover, the system prompts that “there is a success rate bonus for the first plundering” and “this benefit is only applicable to the first plundering target.”
This means that if he does not seize this opportunity now, the difficulty and cost of plundering Lillian’s other entries or other people’s entries in the future will be greatly increased.
Opportunity is fleeting!
Lillian and Emily were looking at him solemnly at this moment. Although they were shocked by Zhang Qiu’s sudden outburst, they obviously had no intention of giving up the attack.
They were talking in low voices, still holding the energy spears tightly in their hands, with the light on the spear tips flickering, obviously looking for new opportunities to attack.
Zhang Qiu knew that he didn’t have much time left.
He took a deep breath and his eyes became extremely determined.
Without the slightest hesitation, he focused his mind once again, and like an arrow shot from a bow, he locked onto the slightly flickering [Silver – Basic Combat Technique] entry above Lillian’s head.
“System, I want to plunder this entry!”
He gave instructions in his mind.
Almost at the moment he gave the order, the cold and mechanical system prompt sounded again in his mind:
“Ding! Detected that the host has chosen a target to plunder: Lillian.
Select the looting entry: [Silver-Basic Combat Technique] (Secondary Looting).”
“Newbie benefits take effect: The success rate of this looting increases by 50%, and the cost decreases by 50%.”
“Judgment condition two: The host’s soul strength is higher than the residual soul mark strength contained in the target’s entry.
This time, Zhang Qiu’s mood was slightly calmer than last time.
Since there is a success rate bonus for novice benefits, and it is aimed at residual soul imprints, I think the difficulty should not be too great.
Just as the system was making its judgment, a weak suction force that was clearer and stronger than the previous one suddenly emanated from Zhang Qiu’s body.
This suction force was invisible and intangible, but it seemed to form an invisible bond, one end of which was connected to Zhang Qiu’s soul, and the other end was precisely connected to Lillian’s body. To be more precise, it was connected to the mark in her soul related to [Silver-Basic Fighting Technique].
Lillian, who was discussing countermeasures with Emily in a low voice, was suddenly shocked.
She only felt that in her mind, those fighting skills that she had already memorized like instinct suddenly became blurry and delayed for a moment.
It was as if something was forcibly stripping these things that belonged to her from the depths of her memory.
This feeling is very strange and very uncomfortable.
Lillian’s face turned pale instantly, and her movements became stiff and slow for a moment.
She shook her head subconsciously, trying to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling.
“Captain, what’s wrong with you?”
Emily keenly noticed Lillian’s abnormality and asked with concern.
Lillian frowned, with a hint of confusion and uneasiness in her eyes.
She shook her head and said in a deep voice: “It’s nothing, maybe the collision just now still has some impact.
Be careful, this guy is weird!”
Although she said this, the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger.
She vaguely felt that this alien visitor seemed to possess some strange abilities that she could not understand.
At the moment when Lillian felt uncomfortable and sluggish, the system prompt sound in Zhang Qiu’s mind finally sounded again:
“Judgment condition two is met! [Silver-Basic Combat Technique] Secondary plunder is successful!”
“Entry Enhanced! The host’s mastery of [Silver-Basic Combat Technique] has been improved from ‘temporary mastery’ to ‘comprehensive mastery’!”
“Due to the special nature of the host’s soul, and because this is the second time I have plundered the same entry, this entry has been initially solidified into the host’s own ability, and can be improved later through training or plundering the same entry again.”
The moment the system prompt sounded, a fighting skill, force method, and combat awareness that was even larger, more sophisticated, and clearer than the previous one surged into Zhang Qiu’s mind and body like a flood that broke through a dam.
If the first plundering allowed him to leap from a layman to a fighting apprentice who had just gotten a glimpse of the basics, then the second plundering allowed him to skip the long and arduous training process and instantly reach the level of mastering these basic fighting techniques!
Those techniques that were originally a little awkward and vague now became extremely clear, as if he had practiced them thousands of times.
The connection between various moves, the use of strength, and the grasp of timing have all reached a level of perfection.
He felt as if his body had been tempered countless times. The rotation of every joint and the exertion of every muscle were filled with indescribable strength and coordination.
Chapter 8: First Battle (Old Version)
That kind of control over the body has reached a whole new level.
The fighting skills that had been unable to be fully utilized before due to physical limitations now seemed to have been freed from some constraints and could be performed more smoothly.
Although his absolute strength and speed have not been substantially improved, the efficiency with which he uses these strength and speed has increased by several times!
“This feeling…” Zhang Qiu clenched his fists, feeling the surging desire to fight in his body and the precise control of his own strength, with excitement flashing in his eyes.
At this point, Lillian and Emily seemed to have finished their discussion.
They looked at each other and launched the attack at the same time again!
This time, their attack was more cautious and fiercer than before.
Lillian was still the main attacker, the energy spear in her hand dancing like the wind, with heavy spear shadows blocking all possible escape routes for Zhang Qiu.
Emily supported him from the side. Although her shooting skills were not as strong as Lillian’s, she was more tricky and ruthless, and she specifically attacked any flaws that Zhang Qiu might reveal.
Faced with the two patrol angels attacking together again, Zhang Qiu’s face no longer had the previous tension and embarrassment.
The corners of his mouth even curled up slightly in a confident arc.
He no longer had to rely on instinct and luck to dodge like before.
His feet shifted slightly, and his body swayed gently like a tumbler, and his center of gravity subtly changed in an instant.
Lillian’s seemingly impenetrable gun net seemed to have countless gaps in his eyes.
He chose the smallest gap and took a step to the left with incredible precision at an incredible angle.
It was this step that allowed him to avoid the frontal edge of Lillian’s spear just right. The tip of the spear almost grazed his ribs, bringing up a gust of fierce wind.
At the same time, he lowered his body and his right hand shot out like a snake escaping a cave, fast as lightning. His target was not Lillian’s body, but the wrist joint where she held the gun!
This move is one of the exquisite techniques in [Silver-Basic Fighting Techniques] to disarm the opponent’s weapons. It emphasizes using cleverness to break force and attacking the enemy will definitely save him.
Lillian obviously did not expect Zhang Qiu’s dodge to be so exquisite, and she did not expect his counterattack to be so quick and accurate.
She only felt a slight tingling sensation in her wrist. It was Zhang Qiu’s fingers pressing on the numb tendons in her wrist with a special technique.
Although she was protected by armor, this blow did not cause her any substantial harm, but the sudden numbness and soreness still caused her gun-holding arm to slightly pause, and her strength also relaxed for a moment.
When masters fight, the difference between victory and defeat is often just a matter of millimeters.
It was this insignificant delay that gave Zhang Qiu the opportunity to take advantage of.
He seized the moment when Lillian’s arm was weakened, raised his elbow sharply upward, and hit the inside of Lillian’s wrist joint holding the gun at an extremely tricky angle!
This position is the weak point of the human body’s joints and is also the key node for exerting force.
“Crack!”
A crisp sound was particularly clear in the fierce battle.
Along with the sound, Lillian let out an uncontrollable groan, and her beautiful face turned pale in an instant due to the intense pain.
She only felt an unbearable pain coming from her wrist, as if the bones were about to break.
She could no longer hold the energy spear in her hand tightly, and it almost slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground with a clang!
Although she relied on her strong willpower to hold the gun with her other hand at the last moment and did not let the weapon completely leave her hand, she felt a sense of weakness in her right wrist holding the gun, and it was probably difficult for her to unleash her previous power in a short period of time.
After the successful attack, Zhang Qiu did not pause at all.
He knows very well the principle of taking advantage of your weakness to kill you.
While elbowing Lillian’s wrist, his other hand had already turned into a knife. With a sharp gust of wind, he cut towards Lillian’s snow-white neck without hesitation, which was exposed as she leaned forward slightly due to the pain!
This knife strike was extremely fast and at a very tricky angle. If Lillian was hit, even if she didn’t die, she would probably lose her combat effectiveness on the spot.
Lillian was shocked and angry at the moment. She never thought that she would be hit in the wrist twice in a row by the same person in the same place using a similar method.
Moreover, this time, the opponent’s attack was more precise and more brutal than the last time, causing greater damage.
She could clearly feel that the bones in her right wrist might have cracked.
Seeing Zhang Qiu’s sharp knife about to cut her neck, Lillian’s eyes flashed with horror.
She knew that if she was hit by this blow, the consequences would be disastrous.
At the critical moment of life and death, Lillian burst out with a strong survival instinct.
The white wings behind her fluttered violently, and a powerful airflow burst out instantly, pushing her body to fly backwards rapidly, trying to avoid Zhang Qiu’s fatal blow.
Zhang Qiu’s knife finally missed.
A sharp gust of wind brushed past Lillian’s neck, lifting up a few strands of severed golden hair, which slowly fell in the air.
Although the target was not hit, Zhang Qiu’s series of attacks also caused Lillian to suffer a great loss.
She staggered back several meters before she managed to steady herself.
She covered her injured right wrist, her face distorted by pain and anger, and her eyes looking at Zhang Qiu were full of solemnity and a hint of disbelief.
She couldn’t understand why the strength of this visitor from another world had changed so drastically in such a short period of time.
The fighting skills and combat awareness he just demonstrated are no less than those of an experienced Feathered Man warrior!
What on earth was going on? Had he been hiding his strength?
Just as Lillian was in doubt, another patrol angel, Emily, saw that her companion and captain had suffered repeated setbacks at the hands of Zhang Qiu, and a trace of anxiety and anger suddenly flashed in her eyes.
“team leader!”
She cried out in surprise, without bothering to think about why Zhang Qiu suddenly became so powerful. She shook the energy spear in her hand, and the attack became more fierce and fierce, sweeping towards Zhang Qiu like a storm.
She wants to avenge the captain. She wants to completely defeat this alien visitor who dared to hurt them!
Although Emily’s strength is not as good as Lillian’s, the fighting power she bursts out because of anger at this moment should not be underestimated.
Chapter 9: High-level Advent (Old Version)
Although her shooting skills lacked some steadiness, they were more resolute and fearless.
Each shot was aimed directly at Zhang Qiu’s vital points, as if they were going to die together.
Faced with Emily’s crazy attack, Zhang Qiu frowned slightly.
He had just had a round of high-intensity attack and defense with Lillian. Although he successfully injured the opponent, he also consumed a lot of physical strength.
At this moment, facing Emily’s desperate attack, he also felt a little pressure.
However, he is no longer the Wuxia A’mon he used to be.
Relying on the [Silver – Basic Fighting Skills] that he had just mastered, Zhang Qiu began to deal with Emily.
His figure was like a butterfly flying through flowers, dodging nimbly among Emily’s dense gun shadows.
Every dodge was just right, avoiding the opponent’s attack while creating an opportunity for counterattack.
His movements were no longer based solely on instinctive dodging like before, but were full of skill and predictability.
He could clearly see the flaws in Emily’s attacks and the weak links in her use of strength.
Although Emily’s attack was fierce, Zhang Qiu was always able to resolve her attack at the critical moment with the least cost.
Sometimes he dodged sideways, sometimes he crouched down and dived, and sometimes he used his arms to block and deflect the opponent’s gun.
During the process of maneuvering, Zhang Qiu also began to try to seize the opportunity to counterattack.
His fists, his elbows, his knees, and even his shoulders all became deadly weapons.
Every counterattack was precisely aimed at Emily’s weak points or the gaps in her attacks.
Zhang Qiu grabbed Emily and stabbed her in the air. When his old strength was exhausted and new strength had not yet been generated, he suddenly took a step forward, and his right fist hit Emily’s lower abdomen like a cannonball.
Emily groaned, and felt a huge force penetrating her body, shaking her internal organs as if they were shifted. Her throat felt sweet and she almost vomited blood.
Her body arched backwards involuntarily, and her attack came to a halt.
However, Emily’s fighting spirit was extremely strong.
She endured the severe pain in her abdomen, roared, and swept the energy spear in her hand towards Zhang Qiu again.
A hint of admiration flashed in Zhang Qiu’s eyes. This little girl is quite tenacious.
But he did not show mercy.
He ducked his body to avoid Emily’s sweeping spear, and at the same time, he lashed out with his left leg like a whip, kicking hard at the knee of Emily’s right leg that was supporting her body.
Emily felt her right knee go weak and a piercing pain came over her. She could no longer stand steadily and fell to one knee involuntarily.
Just when Zhang Qiu was preparing to press on and completely eliminate Emily, Lillian, who had temporarily suppressed her injuries, joined the battle again.
Although her right wrist was injured and she could no longer unleash the same powerful force as before, she was, after all, a second-level junior Feathered Warrior, and her combat experience was far beyond Emily’s.
She held the gun with her left hand, which was a bit awkward, but still delivered considerable power.
Lillian’s joining increased Zhang Qiu’s pressure again.
He had to give up chasing Emily and deal with Lillian’s attack instead.
For a moment, the battlefield was filled with figures, gun shadows flashing, and the muffled sound of energy collisions.
Relying on the [Silver – Basic Fighting Skills] that he had just mastered, Zhang Qiu tenaciously held on under the attack of the two patrolling angels.
Although he still felt exhausted, especially in terms of strength and speed, there was still a clear gap compared to the two Feathered People warriors.
Every head-on block would make his arms numb and his blood boil.
But he was no longer like before, unable to fight back and could only passively take the beating.
With his exquisite fighting skills, he can always find a glimmer of hope in seemingly desperate situations, resolve the opponent’s attacks, and occasionally even seize the opportunity to launch one or two sharp counterattacks.
Although these counterattacks may not necessarily cause substantial damage to the two angels, they successfully disrupted their attack rhythm, making them feel restrained and unable to exert their full strength.
The aftermath of the battle also began to spread in all directions.
Every collision between Zhang Qiu and the two angels would cause a small-scale energy fluctuation.
Those strange energy particles that were originally floating slowly in the air became restless because of the battle between them, forming circles of ripples visible to the naked eye, spreading in all directions.
Lillian and Emily became more and more frightened as the fight went on.
They just couldn’t understand why this visitor from another world was so difficult to deal with.
His strength and speed were obviously inferior to theirs, but the fighting skills he displayed were so exquisite that they found it incredible.
Many times, they felt that their attacks were about to hit the target, but they were always resolved by the opponent in an incredible way at the last moment.
Moreover, they also discovered that this guy seemed to have an incredibly strong learning ability.
During the battle, he seemed to be constantly adapting to their attack rhythm and fighting style, and constantly adjusting his response strategy.
At the beginning, they were able to suppress Zhang Qiu by relying on their advantages in strength and speed, as well as tacit cooperation.
But as the battle continued, they found that Zhang Qiu’s responses became more and more calm, and his counterattacks became more and more sharp.
They even had a feeling that if they continued fighting like this, they would be exhausted to death by this guy sooner or later.
“What kind of monster is this guy?”
For the first time, Lillian felt a sense of powerlessness.
She even began to doubt whether she and Emily could really defeat this mysterious alien visitor by joining forces.
Zhang Qiu was also miserable at this moment.
Although he relied on [Silver – Basic Combat Skills] to temporarily fight against the two angels in a tie, and even had a slight advantage, he was after all fighting one against two, and his physical fitness was still fundamentally different from that of these two Feathered Warriors who had received years of training.
Every successful block and counterattack required him to expend tremendous physical and mental energy.
He could feel that his strength was rapidly draining away, and his breathing was becoming heavier. The sweat oozing from his forehead had soaked his hair, and was flowing down his cheeks, blurring his vision.
Chapter 10: Stay Calm (Old Version)
He knew that he couldn’t drag it on any longer.
He must find an opportunity as soon as possible to defeat one of them completely, or find a way to escape from the battle.
Otherwise, once his strength is exhausted, death will still be waiting for him.
Just when Zhang Qiu was getting anxious and trying to find a way out of the impasse, something strange happened!
In the distant sky, above the dreamy lavender sky, a stream of light suddenly lit up, which was brighter and more dazzling than the one when the two patrolling angels descended before!
That streak of light, like lightning tearing through the night sky, came rapidly from the distant sky at an unimaginable speed, with unparalleled power!
Wherever the light passed, the air seemed to be ignited, emitting bursts of shrill whistling sounds.
An indescribable powerful aura, like a landslide or tsunami, swept in from the direction where the light came from, instantly covering the entire battlefield.
Zhang Qiu, Lillian and Emily, who were fighting fiercely, all felt a throbbing and oppressive feeling from the depths of their souls.
Lillian and Emily’s faces instantly showed expressions of great respect and awe.
They all stopped attacking Zhang Qiu at the same time and bent their bodies slightly, as if to welcome the arrival of some important person.
Zhang Qiu’s heart sank suddenly.
He could clearly feel that the energy contained in that stream of light was dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than that of Lillian and Emily combined! The terrifying pressure made him almost unable to breathe.
“Oh no! A stronger guy is coming!”
Alarm bells were ringing in Zhang Qiu’s heart.
He knew that the existence that could cause such a shocking momentum must be far more powerful than patrol angels of Lillian and Emily’s level.
I’m afraid that a true master has arrived!
Just as Zhang Qiu was filled with doubt and uncertainty, the dazzling light had already arrived above the battlefield.
It did not land directly, but paused slightly in the air, and then slowly landed in the center of the battlefield, less than ten meters away from Zhang Qiu and the two patrol angels.
The speed of the stream of light was extremely fast. It only took a few breaths of time from its appearance to its landing.
When the light faded, revealing the figure of the descender, Zhang Qiu’s pupils suddenly contracted to the extreme.
She was a tall female angel wearing extremely gorgeous golden armor, with six white wings on her back and holding a giant sword burning with blazing flames in her hand!
Her figure was taller and more perfect than Lillian’s and Emily’s.
The golden armor seemed to be made of pure gold, engraved with countless complex and mysterious runes. Under the reflection of the surrounding light, it sparkled with a sacred and majestic glow.
Every part of the armor is full of power and artistry, perfectly outlining her breathtaking curves.
Behind her, there were three pairs of six huge white wings! Each wing was fuller and more holy than Lillian and Emily’s wings. The feathers were like the purest white snow, without a speck of dust.
The six wings flapped gently, creating gusts of air currents filled with powerful energy, making the surrounding air emit a buzzing sound.
In her hand, she held a huge sword with a strange shape.
The sword is broad and slender, dark red all over, as if it were made of some unknown metal.
At this moment, the entire sword was burning with blazing golden flames. That flame was not just any ordinary fire, but was filled with an aura of holiness and destruction. It emitted a heart-pounding high temperature, burning the surrounding air and causing it to become distorted.
Her appearance was breathtakingly beautiful, far beyond the reach of Lillian and Emily.
If Lillian and Emily were rare beauties in the world, then the six-winged angel in front of him was a true goddess, the embodiment of beauty! Her flawless face seemed to be the most outstanding work of God, with delicate features that could not be found without any flaws.
Her skin is whiter than snow, delicate as a baby’s, with a faint ivory glow.
A head of brilliant golden long hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, fluttering gently in the breeze, sparkling with a dazzling luster.
However, compared to her stunning appearance, her eyes were even more impressive.
Those were a pair of golden eyes as bright as stars, full of majesty, wisdom, and a depth that could see through everything.
When her eyes swept across the battlefield, Zhang Qiu even had an illusion that all his secrets were exposed under her gaze.
The appearance of this six-winged angel instantly changed the atmosphere of the entire battlefield.
A suffocatingly powerful aura emanated from her body, pressing down heavily on everyone’s heart like an invisible mountain.
The energy particles around her, which had become restless due to the battle, instantly became docile under the influence of her aura, as if they were surrendering to their king.
The moment Lillian and Emily saw the six-winged angel, they immediately knelt on one knee, put their right hands on their chests, lowered their proud heads, and said in unison with an extremely respectful tone: “Greetings to Lord Yan!”
Yanshangshen?
A huge wave rose in Zhang Qiu’s heart.
Although he didn’t know what level “God” represented in this world, judging from the awe and submission that Lillian and Emily showed from the bottom of their hearts, the status and strength of the six-winged angel named “Yan” in front of him were absolutely terrifying beyond imagination.
Yan’s gaze did not immediately fall on Lillian and Emily who were kneeling on the ground, but fell on Zhang Qiu who was not far away with a hint of scrutiny and imperceptible surprise.
Her eyes were calm, yet carried an unquestionable majesty.
She seemed to feel a little curious about Zhang Qiu, the sudden visitor from another world, and the fighting power he had just displayed.
The moment Zhang Qiu Zai Yan appeared, he felt an unprecedented tremendous pressure.
That kind of pressure not only comes from the crushing strength, but also a kind of suppression at the level of life.
He felt as small as an ant in front of this six-winged angel.
He immediately stopped fighting with Lillian and Emily, because he knew that any form of resistance in front of the six-winged angel named Yan would be futile and might even lead to more serious consequences.
His brain started working rapidly at this moment, thinking about how to deal with the situation.
Chapter 11 Eye of Insight (Old Version)
Run away? No kidding.
In front of this six-winged angel, he didn’t even dare to think of running away.
He had no doubt that if he made the slightest movement, the opponent’s flaming giant sword would instantly turn him into ashes.
Fight hard? That would be courting death.
He had a hard time dealing with Lillian and Emily working together, let alone facing this six-winged angel with unfathomable strength.
The only way seems to be communication.
Although they didn’t speak the same language, he had to find a way to make it clear to the other party that he had no ill intentions and just came to this place by accident.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qiu quickly restrained all his aggressiveness and vigilance.
He tried to make his expression look as calm and harmless as possible.
He even tried to give a friendly smile, although he knew that with his pale and disheveled face, this smile might be uglier than crying.
He slowly raised his hands, palms facing outward, making an internationally accepted gesture indicating that he was unarmed and meant no harm.
Then he took a deep breath and tried to speak.
He didn’t know if the other party could understand his language, but he decided to give it a try.
“Hello then.”
Zhang Qiu used the language he knew and tried to speak in a calm and friendly tone.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, Yan frowned slightly, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Obviously, she didn’t understand what Zhang Qiu was saying.
Zhang Qiu thought to himself, “As expected.”
The language barrier is currently the biggest obstacle.
But he didn’t give up.
He tried to use body language to express his meaning.
He pointed at himself, then at the surroundings, spread his hands, and made a helpless and confused expression, trying to tell the other party that he came here accidentally and felt unfamiliar and confused about everything here.
At the same time, he also tried hard to concentrate his mind, trying to convey some simple and pure kindness to the other party through mental fluctuations.
He didn’t know if this method was effective, but it was the only way he could think of to communicate across language barriers.
He tried hard to incorporate messages like “harmless”, “accident”, “lost”, and “asking for help” into his mental fluctuations, hoping that the other party would be able to sense it.
Yan quietly watched Zhang Qiu gesturing there, feeling the faint mental fluctuations transmitted by him. A thoughtful look flashed in her golden eyes.
She did not react immediately, nor did she speak. She just looked at Zhang Qiu quietly, as if judging the truthfulness of his words and whether he was really as harmless as he appeared.
The entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.
Only the flame burning on the flaming sword in Yan’s hand made a slight “crackling” sound.
Zhang Qiu’s heart was in his throat.
He didn’t know whether his approach would work, nor did he know what fate would await him.
He could only pray silently, hoping that this six-winged angel, who looked terrifyingly powerful, would understand his good intentions and not kill him on the spot without a word.
Time, at this moment, seems to become incomparably long.
Every minute and every second was a torment for Zhang Qiu.
Angel Yan’s pair of golden eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything slowly scanned back and forth over Zhang Qiu.
Her eyes were sharp and deep, as if they could penetrate his flesh and blood and look into the depths of his soul.
Under such a gaze, Zhang Qiu felt as if he was standing naked in the snow, and all disguises and cover-ups became meaningless.
He could clearly feel an invisible spiritual force surging towards him like a tide, gently wrapping him, exploring every corner of his body and every fluctuation of his soul.
This kind of exploration is not a rough intrusion, but more like a meticulous scan that does not miss any details.
Yan frowned slightly, as if she found something confusing about Zhang Qiu.
She could feel that there was indeed a strange energy fluctuation in Zhang Qiu’s body.
This energy fluctuation was so weak that it was almost negligible, but its essence was completely different from all the cosmic energy systems she knew.
It was a kind of energy that she had never encountered before, full of unknown and mysterious energy.
What surprised her even more was that such an individual with such weak energy fluctuations was able to fight against two equipped
The excellent and well-trained guardian angels (Lillian is at the primary level of the second level, and Emily is at the peak of the first level) fought for so long, and even gained the upper hand at one point, injuring Lillian’s wrist.
This kind of fighting technique cannot be easily mastered by an individual with such weak energy.
Unless there were other secrets about him that she hadn’t discovered.
Yan did not feel the pure, strong malice that wanted to destroy everything from Zhang Qiu.
The emotions emanating from him were more of a high level of alertness, a vigilance against unknown environments, and a desire for survival hidden deep in his eyes.
This emotion is reasonable for an outsider who suddenly breaks into a strange and powerful territory.
She opened her red lips slightly, and her voice was cold and majestic, like a clear spring flowing under a glacier, echoing in this small battlefield with an unquestionable power.
She spoke the language of angels, an ancient and elegant syllable, each pronunciation seemed to contain the power of some rule.
Zhang Qiu still didn’t understand a word.
To him, that language was like some pleasant but completely incomprehensible music.
But he could clearly feel from Yan’s tone that she was asking and questioning.
Those golden eyes, like two bright lights, were fixed on him, as if waiting for his answer.
He could only continue to maintain that helpless and harmless posture, with his hands still raised, trying hard to express his kindness and innocence.
His heart was pounding in his chest. Facing such an unfathomable six-winged angel, he felt tremendous pressure every moment.
While Angel Yan was looking at Zhang Qiu carefully, trying to find more clues from him, Zhang Qiu was not idle either.
His brain was working rapidly, and at the same time, he remembered his greatest reliance – the mysterious [Plunder Entry System].
Chapter 12 A Glimpse (Old Version)
“System, observe her!”
Zhang Qiu muttered to himself, and at the same time, he looked carefully, with a hint of irrepressible curiosity and awe, at the six-winged angel Yan who came like a god in front of him.
He knew that this was a very risky thing to do.
If the other party is able to detect the system’s detection, the consequences will be disastrous.
But at this moment, he urgently wanted to know how powerful the six-winged angel in front of him was.
Only by knowing both yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Although he is not even qualified to “fight” now, at least it won’t hurt to know more information.
The system interface appeared as he thought, and the light blue translucent light curtain unfolded before his eyes again.
This time, the screen did not immediately display Yan’s entry information, but instead popped up a warning prompt:
“Warning! The target’s life level is much higher than the host’s. In-depth exploration may alert the other party and cause backlash to the host’s soul.
Is it just a superficial exploration of information? “
Zhang Qiu’s heart trembled.
Far higher than the host? Would deep exploration cause alertness, or even soul backlash? This was the first time he encountered such a warning from the system.
This undoubtedly proves Yan’s power and terror from the side.
Without hesitation, he chose “Yes, only conduct superficial information exploration” in his heart.
He didn’t want to bring disaster upon himself because of his momentary curiosity.
Following his choice, the warning message on the system interface disappeared, replaced by lines of text messages that shone with dazzling light.
These text messages, like the brightest stars, almost dazzled Zhang Qiu’s eyes.
When he concentrated and tried hard to see the content of the text messages clearly, he couldn’t help but take a breath of cold air. A chill instantly ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making him freeze in place. Even his breathing seemed to stop.
[Name: Yan][Race: Angel (Holy Wings)][Level: ? ? ? (far beyond the host’s current cognitive scope)][Status: Review, Exploration][Gold – Eye of Insight]: Passive/active item.
Able to understand the nature of energy, analyze information structure, see through false disguises, and possess strong perception and analytical abilities on the spiritual level.
[Platinum – High-level Angel Combat Skills]: Passive item.
He has mastered the top combat skills accumulated by angel civilization over tens of thousands of years, including swordsmanship, energy manipulation, tactical command and other aspects, and his combat instinct has reached perfection.
[Platinum – Holy Body (Third Generation)]: Passive term.
The sacred body, which has undergone three iterations of upgrades, possesses super physical defense, energy resistance, rapid regeneration ability and extreme adaptability to harsh environments.
Immune to most conventional physical and energy attacks.
[Diamond – Thunder God of War (Potential)]: Special/potential item.
He contains the gene for the power of thunder and lightning in his body, and possesses the terrifying potential to control thunder and lightning. Once fully awakened, he will transform into the Thunder God of War, wielding the power of judgment and destruction.
(Current status: partially activated, huge potential)
【Diamond-Sub-Biological Engine (Concept)】: Core/concept term.
It is equipped with a prototype of an energy engine based on sub-biological theory, capable of drawing energy from higher dimensions and performing conceptual-level calculations and interference.
(Current status: proof-of-concept stage, not fully implemented)
[Gold – Holy Guardian Field]: Active term.
Unfold a sacred energy field to protect yourself and friendly units, greatly increase defense, and cause continuous suppression and damage to evil and dark energy targets.
[Gold – Judgment of the Sky Blade (Authorized)]: Active/authority entry.
With partial authorization for the use of the Mello Celestial Blade series of weapon systems, one can guide the Celestial Blade strike to deliver a devastating attack on a designated target.
(Requires specific conditions to activate)
A series of at least a dozen or even more entries were listed on the system interface like a waterfall.
Each entry exudes a powerful aura that makes people’s hearts palpitate.
Gold! Platinum! Diamonds!
The levels of these entries were far beyond the bronze and silver levels of Lillian and Emily that Zhang Qiu had seen before.
That’s a world of difference, like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon!
Lillian’s strongest entry was only [Silver – Energy Weapon Mastery (Basic)], but the Lord Yan in front of him started at the gold level and had several platinum-level entries, and even two entries that shone with dazzling diamond light!
[Eyes of Insight]! No wonder she looked at me, as if she could see through me inside and out.
The effect of this entry is simply that of a humanoid scanner, and it is a super version that can see into the essence of energy and the spiritual level.
[Advanced Angel Combat Skills]! Platinum level! Zhang Qiu was just feeling smug because he had obtained [Silver-Basic Combat Skills], and felt that he had some self-protection power.
But compared with Yan’s platinum-level “Advanced Angel Combat Skills”, his fighting skills are just like a child playing house and are not worth mentioning.
His skills include swordsmanship, energy control, tactical command and other top-notch skills, and they are “mastered” and his “combat instincts have reached perfection”!
[Sacred Body (Generation 3)]! It’s also platinum level! The sacred body has been upgraded three times, with super strong defense, super strong resistance, fast regeneration, and immunity to most attacks! This is simply an indestructible cockroach, and it’s a super enhanced version! Zhang Qiu has no doubt that even if he tries his best, he probably won’t be able to leave a scratch on her gorgeous golden armor.
What made Zhang Qiu’s scalp tingle and his heart break were those two diamond-level entries!
[Diamond – Thunder God of War (Submerged)]! The terrifying potential of controlling lightning! Transformed into the Thunder God of War, wielding the power of judgment and destruction! Although it is marked as “submerged” and “partially activated”, it is already terrifying enough.
Thunder and lightning, what a terrifying force that is! It is a great power that only gods can control in myths and legends!
[Diamond – Sub-biological Engine (Concept)]! The description of this entry was even more mysterious, with words like “sub-biological theory”, “higher dimension energy absorption”, “conceptual level calculation and interference”. Zhang Qiu was completely confused and had no idea what it was.
But he could sense the extreme importance and terrifying potential of this entry from the level of “diamond” and the label of “core/concept entry”.
Chapter 13 Temporary Entry into the Heavenly City (Old Version)
This might be the key to a higher level of power in this world!
In addition to these, there are also a series of gold-level entries such as [Holy Guardian Domain], [Heavenly Blade Judgment (Authorized)], etc., each of which has the power to destroy the world.
Zhang Qiu was dazzled and shocked.
He felt that his brain was not enough and was completely unable to digest such a huge amount of information and the terrifying power represented by this information.
He finally understood deeply how huge the gap was between himself and the six-winged angel in front of him.
That is no longer a simple difference in order of magnitude, but a gap like the one between heaven and earth, between ants and dragons, which is simply insurmountable and unimaginable!
A sense of bitterness and powerlessness quietly rose from the bottom of his heart.
The little bit of confidence and luck he had gained from successfully plundering the [Silver – Basic Combat Skills] and temporarily forcing back the two patrolling angels were instantly shattered and wiped out after seeing Yan’s series of incredible entries.
In front of such an existence, everything he had done before seemed like a ridiculous farce.
He even had some doubts. If Yan had not developed a little curiosity about him, a “visitor from another world”, she would have only needed to think about it to completely wipe him out from this world without leaving even a trace.
Cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
His face turned even paler, and his lips trembled slightly.
He forced himself to look away, not daring to look at the entries on the system interface that were shining with terrifying light, for fear that he would lose his composure due to excessive shock.
Yan seemed to have noticed Zhang Qiu’s drastic emotional fluctuations, and a barely perceptible gleam flashed in her golden eyes.
She did not urge him, but just waited quietly, as if giving Zhang Qiu enough time to calm down.
After a long while, Zhang Qiu finally managed to suppress the turmoil in his heart and tried to steady his breathing.
He knew that now was not the time for fear and despair.
The more powerful the existence, the calmer you need to remain.
Just then, Yan spoke again.
Her voice was still cold and majestic, but this time, Zhang Qiu felt that her voice seemed to ring directly in his mind instead of being transmitted through the air.
Then, a gentle spiritual force, like a trickle of water, carefully penetrated into the surface of his consciousness.
The feeling was very wonderful, as if someone was gently brushing past his mind without causing any discomfort.
“Outsider, where are you from? Why did you break into the Mello Heavenly Palace?”
A clear idea was directly transmitted to Zhang Qiu’s mind.
This thought was not a language, but a pure flow of information that allowed him to understand its meaning instantly.
Zhang Qiu was shocked, and then he was happy.
Spiritual connection! This Yanshang God was actually able to communicate with him through a spiritual connection! This undoubtedly solved his biggest problem of not being able to speak the language.
He quickly concentrated his mind and tried hard to transmit his thoughts back through mental waves.
“I didn’t know this was the Mello Heaven.
I had an accident and woke up here.
I didn’t mean to intrude, I don’t know anything about this place.”
Zhang Qiu tried hard to express his innocence and confusion.
He didn’t dare to hide anything, because he knew that in front of a term like [Eye of Insight], any lie could be easily exposed.
Yan quietly “listened” to the spiritual information conveyed by Zhang Qiu. She could feel that Zhang Qiu’s surface consciousness was indeed full of unfamiliarity and confusion about this world.
Some blurry and broken images seemed to be fragments of memories of his previous world, which were completely different from the scenes in Mello Heaven.
She did not sense a strong intention to deceive from Zhang Qiu’s deep consciousness, but more of an instinct for survival and fear of the unknown.
“Your energy system is very strange.”
Yan sent another thought, “The fighting technique you just used is not ordinary.”
Zhang Qiu’s heart tightened, knowing that the other party was testing him.
He quickly explained: “I don’t know what kind of energy that is, it has always been very weak.
As for my fighting skills, that was my body’s instinctive reaction at the critical moment of life and death, and I can’t explain it clearly myself.”
He cleverly avoided the existence of the system and attributed everything to “instinct”.
Yan was silent for a moment, as if analyzing the truthfulness of Zhang Qiu’s words.
Her all-seeing eyes never left Zhang Qiu’s face.
After a long while, Yancai sent another thought: “Your origin is indeed suspicious, but there are no obvious signs of dark energy erosion on your body, nor do you show any direct threat to the Melo Heavenly Court.”
Hearing this, Zhang Qiu felt a little relieved.
It seems that the other party has no intention of treating him as an enemy for the time being.
“Since you know nothing about the Mello Celestial Court and are weak, I have decided to take you back to Celestial City for further observation and processing.
During this period, you must not resist or make any changes, otherwise, you will bear the consequences at your own risk. “
There was a hint of unquestionable majesty in Yan’s thoughts.
Take it back to Tiancheng? Further observation and processing?
Zhang Qiu’s thoughts were racing.
He knew that this was probably the best option at the moment.
If he stayed here, he would be discovered by other angels sooner or later, and it would be unknown whether he would be alive or dead by then.
Following the unfathomable God Yan Shang into the Heavenly City, although the future is uncertain, at least his life is temporarily saved, and he may even find a glimmer of hope.
“I am willing to cooperate.”
Zhang Qiu quickly conveyed his obedient thoughts, “I am very curious and awed by everything here, and I hope to have the opportunity to learn about this great civilization.”
He expressed his “yearning” at the right time, trying to lower the other party’s guard.
Yan seemed to be quite satisfied with Zhang Qiu’s ability to understand the current situation.
She nodded slightly, then turned to look at Lillian and Emily who were still kneeling on one knee, and gave them a few instructions in the language of angels.
Lillian and Emily immediately responded respectfully and stood up.
The way they looked at Zhang Qiu was still full of vigilance and a hint of unwillingness, but more than that, it was absolute obedience to the orders of Yan Shangshen.
Lillian’s right wrist was still aching slightly. She glared at Zhang Qiu fiercely, but did not dare to say anything more.
“Come with us.
Chapter 14: Be Cautious (Old Version)
”
Yan finally conveyed a thought to Zhang Qiu, and then the six wings behind him fluttered gently, and his entire body turned into a golden stream of light, flying towards the magnificent golden buildings floating above the clouds in the sky.
Lillian and Emily also spread their wings, “escorting” Zhang Qiu on the left and right, following closely behind Yan.
Although they were nominally escorting Zhang Qiu, they actually did not dare to do anything extreme towards him. After all, this was the person who was personally ordered to be taken back by Yan Shangshen.
They just kept a certain distance to prevent Zhang Qiu from escaping or doing anything dangerous.
Zhang Qiu looked at the wings behind them, his heart filled with envy.
Being able to fly is undoubtedly a huge advantage in this world.
He can now only rely on his legs, and his ability to move is greatly restricted.
He did not resist or try to escape.
He knew that in front of the three angels, especially the super strong Yan, any small action would be futile.
He just followed them silently, but his eyes were involuntarily cast towards the city in the clouds that was getting closer and closer.
Mello Heaven!
This is the name of this magnificent city suspended above the clouds.
As the distance got closer, Zhang Qiu could feel more and more the magnificence and grandeur of the city.
The huge golden building complex, looming in the clouds and mist, emits a soft and sacred light, as if it is the real residence of God in myths and legends.
Countless graceful angels, dressed in various armors or costumes, with white wings on their backs, fly gracefully in and outside the city, forming a breathtaking fantasy picture.
Zhang Qiu’s heart was filled with shock and curiosity.
He knew that he was about to step into a whole new world that was far beyond his imagination.
This world is full of unknowns, opportunities and dangers.
Whether he can survive here, or even find his way back, is still unknown.
But the only thing he could be sure of was that he had to be careful, cautious, and try hard to survive.
The process of entering the Melo Heaven was much smoother than Zhang Qiu had imagined.
It seemed that because of the leadership of Lord Yanshang, they were not questioned or stopped at all.
When Zhang Qiu actually set foot in this city in the clouds, he was completely shocked by the scene before him.
Everything here is filled with a perfect fusion of unimaginable technology and sacredness.
The ground was paved with some kind of jade that emitted a faint fluorescence. It was as smooth as a mirror and spotless.
The buildings on both sides of the road have strange and beautiful shapes. Some are like flowers in bud, and some are like phoenixes spreading their wings about to fly. They emit a soft golden or silver light.
There are countless crisscrossing energy channels in the air. Angels are flying quickly and orderly in these channels, handling their respective affairs.
Some of them were in a hurry, as if they were carrying out urgent tasks; others gathered in twos and threes, talking in low voices with peaceful smiles on their faces.
The air was filled with a refreshing fragrance and a pure energy that was so rich that it was almost insoluble.
Zhang Qiu just took a deep breath, and he felt that the weakness deep in his soul seemed to be alleviated a little.
This place is simply the legendary paradise!
Zhang Qiu was overwhelmed by the sight, his heart filled with awe and yearning.
He knew that the technological level and power level of such a civilization had far exceeded his understanding in his previous life.
Led by Yan, they crossed several wide streets and came to a magnificent building that looked like some kind of office organization.
After entering the building, Zhang Qiu was temporarily placed in a room similar to a reception room.
This reception room is very spacious and bright, with a simple yet elegant decoration style.
In the center of the room stood a table made of an unknown crystal stone and several chairs of strange shapes.
On the wall, there were some strange ornaments that flickered with soft light, which seemed to be some kind of energy device.
Yan did not enter the reception room with Zhang Qiu. She seemed to have other important things to deal with. She just told Lillian and Emily to keep an eye on Zhang Qiu and left in a hurry.
After Lillian and Emily brought Zhang Qiu to the reception room, they did not leave immediately. Instead, they stood on the left and right of the door, like two door gods, vigilantly watching Zhang Qiu’s every move.
Their eyes were still full of distrust.
After a while, a young female angel in a white uniform and with wings on her back came in carrying a tray.
On the tray was a cup of clear liquid with a light fragrance, and a few foods that looked like energy bars.
The female angel placed the tray on the crystal table in front of Zhang Qiu, looked at Zhang Qiu with a curious and friendly gaze, then nodded to Lillian and Emily, and turned and left.
Lillian snorted coldly and said to Zhang Qiu (although Zhang Qiu didn’t understand, he could guess the general meaning): “This is for you.
Stay here and don’t play any tricks!”
After saying that, she and Emily turned around and left the reception room, but they did not go far. Instead, they stood outside the door.
Zhang Qiu was the only one left in the reception room.
He carefully looked at everything around him, not daring to make the slightest movement.
He knew that he was still in danger and his every move might be monitored.
He picked up the cup of transparent liquid on the table, put it to his nose and sniffed it. A faint fragrance came to his nose, which lifted his spirits.
He hesitated for a moment, but still took a small sip carefully.
The liquid tasted sweet and clear in his mouth, flowing down his throat and turning into a gentle energy that nourished his dry body and weak soul.
He could feel that the physical and mental strength he had consumed was slowly recovering.
“nice one!”
Zhang Qiu secretly praised in his heart.
He picked up another energy bar-like food and looked at it carefully.
The energy bar was light yellow in color, had a texture somewhat like compressed biscuits, and emitted a strange fragrance.
He tried taking a small bite and found that it tasted pretty good, a bit like a mixture of some fruit and grain, and it also contained considerable energy.
After replenishing some energy and feeling that his body had recovered some strength, Zhang Qiu did not let down his guard.
He knew that what he needed to do most now was to appear as harmless and submissive as possible and try to reduce the angels’ vigilance against him.
Chapter 15 System Tasks (Old Version)
He sat upright in his chair, his eyes wandering around the room, his face revealing at the right moments his “yearning” and “awe” for this advanced civilization.
He tried hard to convey this positive and friendly emotion deep in his heart to any possible observers.
He knew that only by making these angels believe that he was not an enemy and that he had great respect for their civilization would he have a chance of survival.
In a relatively safe and quiet environment, Zhang Qiu finally had time to carefully study the [Plunder Entry System].
He closed his eyes, sank his consciousness into his mind, and summoned the light blue translucent system interface again.
This time, he found that there seemed to be some new changes on the system interface.
At the very top of the interface, in addition to the eye-catching large characters [Plunder Entry System], there are several new tabs, namely [Personal Information], [Entry Warehouse], [Plunder Mission], [Achievement System] and [System Mall (Unlocked)].
Zhang Qiu’s heart moved, and he first clicked on the [Personal Information] tab.
[Host: Zhang Qiu][Race: Human (mutated soul)][Level: Zero (weak soul, mortal body)][Condition: Mild fatigue, slight fracture of left shoulder, slight sprain of right wrist]【Mastered terms】:
[Silver – Basic Fighting Skills (Mastery)]: Passive item.
It has been initially solidified into the host’s own ability, and he can skillfully use various basic fighting techniques to fight.
Due to physical limitations, only 30% of the effect can be exerted at present.
[Plunder Points: 0]Seeing his personal information, Zhang Qiu couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Level Zero, with a weak soul, a mortal body, and wounds all over.
The only thing he could rely on was the [Silver – Basic Fighting Skills], and because of his poor physical fitness, he could only exert 30% of its effect.
However, when he saw the words “has been initially solidified into the host’s own abilities”, he still felt a little relieved.
This means that the entry he obtained through the secondary plunder has truly belonged to him and will not disappear easily.
He clicked on the [Entry Warehouse] tab again.
It was completely empty inside, with only a lonely [Silver – Basic Fighting Skills] entry icon lit up there.
It seems that this is the place where he stores the entries he looted.
What really made Zhang Qiu curious were the two new tabs: [Plunder Mission] and [Achievement System].
He clicked on the [Plunder Mission] first.
A new prompt box pops up on the interface immediately:
“Ding! It has been detected that the host has initially come into contact with a new civilized environment. The [Plunder Mission] module is officially activated!”
“Mission Description: In addition to directly plundering the entries of living beings, the host can also obtain generous ‘plunder points’ rewards by completing specific ‘missions’ issued by the system.
Plunder points can be used in a variety of ways, such as increasing the success rate of plundering for specific items, exchanging special items or functions in the system store (the system store will be unlocked after meeting certain conditions), etc. ”
“Currently available tasks:”
“[Main Mission – First Ring: Initial Integration]”
“Mission objective: Obtain preliminary recognition from the lower-level angels of the Melo Heaven Court (current progress: 0/10).”
“Mission description: As an unexpected visitor from another world, the first thing you need to do is to try to integrate into this new environment and gain the trust and recognition of some local residents.
Gain the friendship of at least ten low-level angels (guard level or below) from the Merlo Heavenly Court to the level of “initial recognition”.
“Mission Reward: 100 plunder points, unlock the [Friendliness Detection] function.”
“Failure penalty: None (but may affect the opening of subsequent main quests).”
After reading the task information, Zhang Qiu’s eyes lit up.
Plunder points! Increase the success rate of plundering! System Mall!
These new features undoubtedly point out a new path for his future development.
Loot points, in particular, sound like some kind of universal currency that can be used for a lot of things.
Although the main task before him, titled [Initial Integration], seemed somewhat difficult—he had to gain the initial recognition of ten angels, and at a time when they were wary and distrustful of him—it at least gave him a clear goal and direction to work towards.
Moreover, the mission rewards are also very attractive.
100 plunder points were undoubtedly a huge sum of money for him who was now penniless.
More importantly, it can also unlock a [Friendliness Detection] function, which sounds very practical and can help him better judge the relationship between himself and those angels.
“Initial integration and gaining initial recognition from low-level angels.” Zhang Qiu silently recited the mission objectives and began to think about it in his mind.
He is now trapped in the Melo Heaven, unfamiliar with the place and unable to speak the language (although Yan Shangshen can communicate with him through mental link, other ordinary angels obviously do not have this ability).
It is not easy to gain their recognition.
He must appear to be more friendly, more harmless, even more useful?
While he was thinking, he clicked on the [Achievement System] tab again.
A prompt box also pops up on the interface:
“Ding! The [Achievement System] module has been activated!”
“Achievement Description: When the host explores the unknown world, meets certain conditions, completes special challenges, or creates brilliant deeds, it is possible to unlock corresponding ‘achievements’.
Each achievement represents a legendary experience for the host. Completing the achievement not only earns you generous “plunder points” but also gives you the chance to obtain rare entries, special items, or unlock hidden features.”
“Currently unlocked achievements:”
“【Achievement 1: First Cry from Another World】(Completed)”
“Conditions for achievement: Successfully cross the plane barrier, and the soul descends into another world.”
“Achievement Description: You, a soul from another world, embark on a brand new and unknown journey in the torrent of fate.
This is the beginning of your legend.”
“Achievement Reward: 10 plundering points, novice benefit [first plundering success rate bonus] (consumed).”
“【Achievement 2: Survival in Desperate Situation】(Completed)”
“Conditions for achievement: Successfully survive the first fatal threat posed by a powerful local life form (two levels higher than your own).
Chapter 16 Preliminary Plunder (Old Version)
“Achievement description: Facing an enemy far stronger than yourself, you did not give up. With wisdom, courage, and a little bit of luck, you escaped from the scythe of the god of death.
Your will to survive is commendable.”
“Achievement Reward: 20 Plunder Points, [Silver – Basic Combat Technique] mastery level increased to ‘Mastery’.”
Seeing these two completed achievements, Zhang Qiu suddenly had an epiphany.
It turned out that the 10 plunder points he had obtained before (although he had not had time to use them yet), as well as the improved mastery of [Silver – Basic Combat Techniques], were all rewards for completing the achievement.
The description of these two achievements also reminded him of the thrilling experiences he had when he first came into this world, and he couldn’t help but feel filled with emotion.
In addition to these two completed achievements, there are some gray achievement icons that have not yet been unlocked, such as [First acquaintance with Tiancheng], [Obtaining the first piece of alien equipment], [First successful plunder of gold-level entries], etc. Behind each achievement, there are attractive rewards.
“It seems that this achievement system is also an important way for me to obtain plunder points and improve my strength.”
Zhang Qiu thought to himself.
After studying the new functions of the system, Zhang Qiu felt a little better.
Although he is still in danger and his future is uncertain, the existence of the system and these new tasks and achievements undoubtedly give him a glimmer of hope and motivation.
What he needs to do most now is to complete the main task of [Initial Integration] as soon as possible, obtain the 100 plunder points, and unlock the [Friendliness Detection] function.
“The initial approval of ten low-level angels.” Zhang Qiu rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache.
The only angels he could contact now, besides Lillian and Emily who were hostile to him outside the door, was the young female angel who had just brought him water and food.
That female angel seems to be quite friendly. Maybe we can find a breakthrough from her?
Just as Zhang Qiu was thinking about how to complete the task, the door of the reception room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Zhang Qiu’s heart trembled, and he immediately closed the system interface. His body subconsciously tensed up, and he looked towards the door vigilantly.
He didn’t know who the visitor was, whether he was an enemy or a friend, but in this strange and dangerous environment, any slight movement was enough to make him nervous.
The person who pushed open the door and walked in was a female angel wearing silver light armor and with wings on her back.
She had a beautiful face, but her eyes were capable and scrutinizing.
Zhang Qiu recognized her. It was Emily, another patrolling angel who had “escorted” him into the Melo Heaven with Lillian before.
Emily glanced at Zhang Qiu, and then said in a businesslike tone (Zhang Qiu still didn’t understand, but he could guess the general meaning from her expression and tone): “Come with me, Yan Shangshen wants to see you.”
God Yan wants to see me?
Zhang Qiu’s heart moved slightly.
More than half a day had passed since he was brought to the Melo Heavenly Palace.
During this time, he was trapped in this reception room and had never seen anyone except the young female angel who brought him food.
Now, God Yan Shang suddenly wants to see him, and he doesn’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
He did not dare to delay and quickly stood up, tidied his messy clothes, then followed Emily out of the reception room.
Under Emily’s guidance, Zhang Qiu walked through several long corridors and came to a more spacious and solemn hall.
The dome of the hall is extremely high, dotted with countless star-like shining points of light, emitting a soft and sacred light.
At the end of the hall was a high platform, and Angel Yan was sitting on a gorgeous golden chair in the center of the platform.
At this moment, Yan had changed out of his military uniform and put on a clean white robe.
The style of the robe is simple and elegant, but it cannot conceal her perfect figure and noble temperament.
Her blonde hair was casually draped over her shoulders, her face had a hint of majesty, and her golden eyes were still as bright as stars, so deep that they seemed to be able to see through everything.
Below the platform, there stood several high-level angels wearing different styles of armor or clothing. Their auras were very powerful, and they were obviously important figures in the Melo Heaven.
Seeing Zhang Qiu coming in, Yan’s gaze fell on him, with a hint of scrutiny and inquiry in his eyes.
“Outsider, how do you feel here?”
Yan’s voice once again rang directly in Zhang Qiu’s mind.
Zhang Qiu bowed quickly and replied respectfully, “Thanks to the care of Lord Yan, everything is fine.
The environment here is very beautiful and the energy is very abundant, which makes me feel very comfortable. ”
He said this in as humble and flattering a tone as possible.
Yan nodded slightly, seeming to be satisfied with his answer.
She continued, “I need to further verify your background.
During this period, you will temporarily reside in Merlot Heaven.
We will arrange a place for you to live and provide you with necessary living supplies.
But you must abide by the rules of the Melo Heaven, you must not walk around at will, and you must not do anything that endangers the safety of the Heaven.
Do you understand? “
“I understand. I totally understand!”
Zhang Qiu nodded and promised, “I will strictly abide by the rules of the Heavenly Court and will never cause any trouble to the gods.”
He knew that this was the best outcome so far.
At least, he doesn’t have to worry about his life for the time being.
“very good.”
Yan’s tone remained calm, “Emily, take him to the guest room and settle him down.
Also, send someone to keep an eye on his movements, but don’t interfere too much.”
“Yes, God Yan!”
Emily responded respectfully and then made a “please” gesture to Zhang Qiu.
Zhang Qiu bowed to Yan again, then followed Emily out of the hall.
Under Emily’s guidance, Zhang Qiu came to a quiet courtyard.
There are some exotic flowers and plants planted in the courtyard, emitting a faint fragrance.
In the center of the courtyard is a two-story building that looks like a residence specifically used to entertain guests.
Emily brought Zhang Qiu to the small building, gave him a few simple instructions (Zhang Qiu still didn’t understand, but he could probably guess that she asked him to stay here honestly), then turned and left.
She did not stand guard at the door like before, but Zhang Qiu knew that her every move was still under the surveillance of those angels.
Chapter 17 Training Incident (Old Version)
Entering the small building, Zhang Qiu found that although the interior was simple, it was very comfortable.
The first floor is the living room and dining room, and the second floor is the bedroom and study.
All daily necessities were available, and there were even some strange devices whose purpose he couldn’t understand.
Finally, I have a relatively safe place to stay.
Zhang Qiu let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that his tense nerves could finally relax a little.
However, he did not slack off.
He knew that his current situation was still very dangerous.
He was like a lamb that had strayed into a pack of wolves and could be torn to pieces at any time.
If you want to survive in this strange and powerful world, you must improve your strength as soon as possible!
The most direct way to improve your strength is to plunder entries!
In the next few days, Zhang Qiu began to consciously look for opportunities to contact those low-level angels who seemed to be weaker.
He knew that with his current strength, it was nothing but a pipe dream to want to plunder the entries of high-level angels. Not only was the success rate extremely low, but it was also easy to expose himself.
So, he set his sights on the angel apprentices who were responsible for cleaning, delivering meals, or trimming flowers in the garden.
Most of these angel apprentices are young girls. Their strength is generally not high and their vigilance is relatively low.
Zhang Qiu tried hard to show his friendliness and harmlessness to them. Sometimes he would take the initiative to help them with small things or communicate with them using some simple body language.
Although we don’t speak the same language, a smile is the best way to communicate.
Gradually, the attitudes of some angel apprentices towards Zhang Qiu changed from their initial vigilance and curiosity to a slightly friendlier attitude.
Just today, a person responsible
The angel apprentice who was cleaning the small building where he lived caught Zhang Qiu’s attention.
This angel apprentice looked young, probably only about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate face and a
The wings at the back also look a little immature.
She would come to the small building on time every day, clean the room silently, rarely speak, and seem a little introverted and shy.
Zhang Qiu tried to have some simple interactions with her, such as taking the initiative to help her move some obstacles when she was cleaning, or saying goodbye to her with a smile when she left.
Gradually, the angel apprentice became less wary of him and sometimes even gave him a shy smile.
Today, when the angel apprentice came to the small building to clean the room again, Zhang Qiu quietly activated the [Plunder Entry System] and observed the entry information above her head.
[Name: Angel][Race: Angel (Apprentice)][Level: Zero Level (Primary)][Status: Serious, slightly nervous][Bronze – Cleansing (Angel Version)]: Active term.
It can use weak angel energy to quickly clean stains and dust in designated areas, and has a certain purification effect.
[Bronze – Angelic Constitution (Weak)]: Passive item.
Possessing a faint angelic bloodline, his physical fitness is slightly stronger than that of ordinary humans, his affinity for energy is slightly improved, and his recovery speed is slightly faster.
[Bronze – Basic Flying Skills (Beginner)]: Passive item.
I have initially mastered the basic skills of using wings for short-distance, low-altitude flight, but I am not yet proficient.
Seeing these entries, Zhang Qiu’s heart moved slightly.
[Cleaning Technique (Angel Version)] This entry is of little use to him.
He’s a grown man, he can’t possibly learn how to clean, right?
[Basic Flying Skills (Beginner’s Guide)] This entry is quite good. If he could snatch it, he might be able to get rid of the dilemma of having to walk on the ground.
But the problem is that this entry is at the “entry-level”, and he doesn’t even have wings now. Even if he plunders them, he probably won’t be able to use them.
What really interested Zhang Qiu was the entry [Bronze – Angelic Constitution (Weak)].
“Physical fitness is slightly stronger than that of ordinary humans, affinity for energy is slightly improved, and recovery speed is slightly faster.”
These effects are exactly what he needs right now! His body is too weak now. Although he has recovered some strength after a few days of rest and eating energy-rich food and liquids, it is still far from being a real angel.
If he could obtain this [Angelic Constitution (Weak)] entry, his physical fitness would undoubtedly be improved to a certain extent, which would be of great help to his subsequent actions and strength improvement.
Moreover, this entry is only at the bronze level, so the difficulty and cost of plundering it should not be too great.
Zhang Qiu glanced at his personal information, [Plunder Points: 30].
This was the reward he received for completing the two achievements before.
“System, how many plundering points are needed to plunder Angel’s [Bronze – Angelic Constitution (Weak)] entry? What is the success rate?”
Zhang Qiu muttered to himself.
The system prompt sounded soon:
“Ding! Target entry level: Bronze.
Plunder The basic cost of this entry is 10 plunder points.
Basic success rate: 60 percent.”
“The host can choose to consume additional plundering points to increase the success rate of this plundering.
Every additional plunder point consumed can increase the success rate by 2%, up to a maximum of 90%.”
The basic success rate of 60% is not too high, but not too low either.
If you plunder directly, there is a considerable risk of failure.
If you fail, not only will you waste 10 plunder points, but you may also alert the opponent.
Zhang Qiu thought about it and decided to be safer.
He now only has 30 plunder points in total and can’t afford to waste too much.
“System, I choose to consume an additional 10 plunder points to increase the success rate to 80%.”
Zhang Qiu made a decision in his heart.
In this way, he would need to consume a total of 20 plunder points, leaving 10 points in reserve.
An eighty percent success rate is already quite high and worth a try.
“Ding! Confirmed to consume 20 plundering points to plunder the [Bronze – Angelic Constitution (Weak)] entry. Current success rate: 80%.
Do you want to start looting?”
“yes!”
Zhang Qiu confirmed without hesitation.
The moment he confirmed it, an imperceptible suction force emanated from his body and silently connected to the angel apprentice Angel who was conscientiously cleaning the room.
Angel’s body trembled slightly, and the cleaning tools in her hand almost fell to the ground.
Chapter 18: Emerging (Old Version)
She looked up blankly and glanced at Zhang Qiu who was standing not far away, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
She felt that her body suddenly seemed to be strange for a moment, as if something was flowing out of her body a little bit.
But this feeling was so weak and short-lived that she was unsure whether it was an illusion.
Zhang Qiu’s heart also rose to his throat.
He looked at Angel nervously, afraid that she would notice something unusual.
Fortunately, Angel just blinked in confusion and didn’t show much reaction.
She might think that she was a little tired recently, which led to this illusion.
She lowered her head and continued to clean carefully.
At this moment, the cold and mechanical prompt sound of the system rang in Zhang Qiu’s mind:
“Ding! The plunder was successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the [Bronze – Angelic Constitution (Weak)] entry!”
“The effect of the entry has been activated, and the host’s body is undergoing preliminary transformation.”
The moment the system prompt sounded, Zhang Qiu felt a faint and gentle warm current suddenly emerge from his limbs and bones, quickly spreading to every cell in his body.
The feeling was very comfortable, just like soaking in a hot spring, and he couldn’t help but moan.
He could clearly feel that some wonderful changes were taking place in his body.
The heaviness and powerlessness originally brought about by the weakness of the soul seemed to have been alleviated a lot.
His body seemed to become lighter and full of energy.
Some hidden injuries left from previous battles were also quickly repaired under the nourishment of this warm current.
He could even feel that he had become more friendly to the strange energy particles that permeated the air around him.
Before, he could only passively absorb very small amounts of energy particles, but now, he seemed to be able to actively guide these energy particles and integrate them into his body.
Although this change is subtle, it is real.
Zhang Qiu clenched his fists, feeling the power in his body that was slightly fuller than before, and his heart was filled with joy.
[Bronze – Angelic Physique (Weak)], it really lived up to its reputation! Although it was only bronze level, and a “weak” version, it was already a significant improvement for a zero-level “mortal” like him.
He took a look at his personal information and found that the [Status] column had changed from “mild fatigue, slight fracture of left shoulder, slight sprain of right wrist” to “full of energy, injuries basically healed”.
And his [Plunder Points] also changed from 30 points to 10 points.
This plunder is well worth it!
In the next few days, Zhang Qiu was not in a hurry to plunder again.
He knew that frequently plundering the same target would easily arouse the other party’s vigilance.
Moreover, he also needs time to adapt to the changes in his body and consolidate the [Angel Physique] he has just acquired.
He does some simple exercises in the yard every day, such as running, push-ups, sit-ups, etc.
Although these were the most basic training methods in his previous life, combined with the force-generating techniques contained in [Silver – Basic Fighting Techniques] and the recovery speed bonus brought by [Bronze – Angelic Physique], his physical fitness is improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His strength grew, his speed grew, his endurance improved.
The feeling of weakness that comes from the depths of the soul is also alleviated day by day.
In addition to exercising, Zhang Qiu would also take time to continue studying the [Plunder Entry System].
He discovered that in addition to looting entries and completing tasks, the system seemed to have some hidden functions that he needed to explore and discover on his own.
He also tried to learn the language of angels.
Although no one taught him, he would listen carefully to the conversations between the angel apprentices and try hard to remember some common words and pronunciations.
Although the progress is slow, it is still a small improvement.
In this way, time passed day by day.
Zhang Qiu’s life in Melo Heavenly Palace gradually got back on track.
In addition to eating, sleeping and exercising every day, he would find ways to contact those low-level angels, working hard to improve their friendliness towards him, and strive to complete the main task of [Initial Integration] as soon as possible.
A few days later, Zhang Qiu was allowed to expand his range of activities a little.
He was no longer confined to the small courtyard where he lived, but could move freely in a specific area outside the Heavenly City.
This is undoubtedly good news for him.
This means that he will have more opportunities to come into contact with more angels, and more opportunities to observe and understand this mysterious and powerful angel civilization.
On this day, Zhang Qiu was wandering around the area where he was allowed to move around as usual.
As he walked, he carefully observed the surrounding environment and the angels coming and going, while also secretly looking for possible opportunities to plunder.
Suddenly, bursts of crisp shouts and muffled sounds of energy collision came from not far away, attracting his attention.
He had an idea and walked in the direction where the sound came from.
Soon, he arrived at an open training ground.
On the training ground, a group of young low-level angels were undergoing various trainings.
Some were practicing fighting skills, with their fists and feet moving swiftly; some were practicing energy shooting, condensing energy balls or energy arrows of various colors in their hands and shooting them at distant targets, making bursts of explosions; others were practicing flying skills, flapping the wings behind them and performing various difficult flying moves in the air.
Most of these young angels are in their teens or twenties. They are dressed in uniform training clothes, and their faces are full of youthful vitality and desire for power.
Their strength is mostly between level zero and level one, belonging to the lowest level of combat power in the Melo Heavenly Court.
On one side of the training ground, there stood several high-level angels in silver armor. They should be the instructors responsible for guiding the training of these young angels.
Their expressions were serious and their eyes were sharp, and they would give instructions to the angels in training from time to time.
Zhang Qiu was attracted by the lively training scene in front of him and couldn’t help but stop and watch.
At this moment, on the training ground, two young female angels who were practicing fighting skills seemed to have an argument because of their different understandings of a certain action.
Chapter 19 Yan’s Attention (Old Version)
They started out with a verbal argument, but it soon turned into a small-scale competition.
The two men got into combat, punching and kicking each other.
Although their fighting skills are still a bit immature, they are full of strength and fighting spirit.
The other angels who were training around were also attracted by their dispute. They stopped what they were doing, gathered around, and watched their competition with great interest, occasionally letting out bursts of cheers or sighs.
The high-level angel instructor who was in charge of guiding them seemed to be happy to see this healthy competition. He did not step forward to stop it, but just stood aside and watched them with interest.
Zhang Qiu also watched with great interest.
He discovered that the fighting skills of these angels were somewhat similar to the [Silver-Basic Fighting Techniques] he mastered, but there were also some differences.
Their fighting style focuses more on the burst of strength and the use of energy, and is full of the unique fighting style of angel civilization.
Just as he was watching intently, an accident happened.
The two female angels who were competing were evenly matched and their tempers were gradually rising.
One of the angels, who was a slightly tall female angel, seemed to have lost control of her strength during a fierce attack. She threw a punch that not only forced back her opponent, but also caused an uncontrolled energy turbulence.
The turbulent energy, like a wild horse breaking free from its reins, swept towards the crowd watching the battle nearby.
The surrounding angels screamed and dodged, but Zhang Qiu was standing relatively close to the front and his attention was focused on the competition on the field, so he did not react for a while.
Seeing that the violent energy turbulence was about to hit him, Zhang Qiu was shocked and wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
At this critical moment, the [Bronze – Angel Physique (Weak)] in his body quietly activated.
A weak energy automatically surged out of his body, forming a thin protective shield to protect his body.
The turbulent energy hit Zhang Qiu hard, making a dull sound.
Zhang Qiu only felt a huge push coming, causing his body to shake involuntarily.
However, he was not knocked away as expected. Instead, he relied on the physical fitness improvement brought by [Angelic Physique] and the force-releasing skills contained in [Basic Fighting Techniques] to stand firmly on his feet and only took a small step back.
Although the energy turbulence was violent, it was only the aftermath of being out of control and its power was not too great.
Coupled with the protection of [Angelic Physique], it did not cause any substantial harm to Zhang Qiu, but only made him feel a little stuffy in his chest.
The angels around, seeing that Zhang Qiu had actually endured the impact of the turbulent energy and still stood firmly, couldn’t help but let out a small exclamation, with a hint of surprise and curiosity in their eyes.
They could all see that Zhang Qiu was not wearing any protective armor, and his energy fluctuations were very weak. He looked like an ordinary human being without any combat ability.
Logically speaking, if you are hit by such a turbulent energy, even if you are not injured, you should be in a very bad state.
But he just shook his body and everything was fine?
The tall female angel who accidentally released the energy turbulence was also shocked when she saw that she almost hurt someone.
She quickly stopped competing with her opponent, and quickly ran to Zhang Qiu, with a trace of panic and apology on her face. She said a lot of things in the language of angels, as if she was apologizing to Zhang Qiu.
Although Zhang Qiu didn’t understand what she was saying, he could feel her apology from her expression and tone.
He waved his hands, put on a “generous” smile, and used simple body language to indicate that he was fine.
Just then, a light bulb went off in his head and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
He pretended to casually glance at the tall female angel’s punching posture, then pointed at her elbow in a hesitant tone and made a punching motion, as if to say that there seemed to be something wrong with her action just now.
He didn’t say it directly because he knew that he was just an “ordinary human” now, and if he acted too knowledgeable, it would arouse suspicion.
He just said it in a suggestive way and stopped there.
When the tall female angel saw Zhang Qiu’s gesture, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him with some confusion, as if she didn’t understand what he meant.
However, another female angel who was arguing with her understood what Zhang Qiu meant.
She had just argued for a long time with the tall female angel about the key points of the movement.
Seeing that Zhang Qiu also pointed out the same problem, he immediately became alert.
She walked up to Zhang Qiu with a look of dissatisfaction on her face, pointed at herself, then pointed at the training ground, and then made a “please” gesture to Zhang Qiu, as if inviting Zhang Qiu to come down and give her some personal guidance.
Zhang Qiu smiled secretly in his heart, the fish was hooked.
He waved his hands in surprise and shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he was not capable of doing so. He was just an ordinary person, so how could he dare to give instructions to the angel?
But the more he tried to refuse, the more the young angels who were watching the fun started to make a fuss.
They were all very curious about this “ordinary human” who could withstand energy turbulence and seemed to know some fighting skills. They all wanted to see how powerful he was.
“Just try it out!”
“That’s right, give us some pointers!”
“You’re welcome!”
Although Zhang Qiu didn’t understand what they were saying, he could guess what they meant from their excited expressions and booing postures.
Under the “cheer” and “encouragement” of the crowd, Zhang Qiu pretended to be “reluctant” and hesitated for a long time before finally nodding, indicating that he was willing to go down and “compete”.
The female angel who invited Zhang Qiu to come out was overjoyed when she saw this.
She immediately pulled Zhang Qiu to the center of the training ground, assumed a fighting stance, and signaled Zhang Qiu that he could start.
The surrounding angels also gathered around the two of them, ready to watch a good show.
Even the high-level angel instructors who were in charge of instruction were attracted by the commotion here and looked over with interest.
Zhang Qiu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He knew that this was a good opportunity to demonstrate his “value” and also an opportunity to complete the task of “initial integration”.
Chapter 20 Asking for Advice (Old Version)
He must seize the opportunity.
He did not launch an attack immediately, but instead carefully observed the female angel in front of him.
The strength of this female angel was probably around the peak of level zero, much weaker than Lillian and Emily whom he had met before.
Her fighting skills also seemed a bit awkward and rough, full of flaws.
Zhang Qiu had a plan in mind.
He decided not to use too much force or too complicated techniques, but to use the most basic [Silver-Basic Fighting Skills] and accurate judgment of the battle situation to “guide” the young angel.
“please!”
Seeing that Zhang Qiu was slow to move, the female angel urged him impatiently.
Zhang Qiu smiled slightly, nodded at her, then took a step forward, his body rushed out like a cheetah, and threw a simple and direct straight punch at the female angel’s face.
The female angel obviously did not expect Zhang Qiu’s speed to be so fast and his attack to be so fierce.
In a hurry, she raised her hand to block.
Just when her arm was about to collide with Zhang Qiu’s fist, Zhang Qiu’s fist suddenly changed, turning into a palm, and with a clever flip of his wrist, he bypassed her block and gently tapped her shoulder.
A soft sound.
The female angel felt her shoulder go numb and her body staggered back two steps involuntarily with an expression of disbelief on her face.
She couldn’t understand why she was hit even though she had blocked it. Moreover, the opponent’s attack seemed light, but it contained a clever force that made it impossible for her to resist.
The angels watching the battle nearby also let out a small cry of surprise.
They also didn’t expect that this seemingly ordinary human being could gain the upper hand with just one move.
Zhang Qiu did not pursue the victory, but stood where he was, smiling and nodding to the female angel, as if to say, “Do you understand?”
A trace of shame and anger flashed across the female angel’s face.
She couldn’t believe she would lose to a human so easily.
She let out a delicate cry and pounced towards Zhang Qiu again, using both fists and feet, her attack even more fiercely than before.
Zhang Qiu remained calm and composed. Relying on the exquisite skills brought by [Silver – Basic Fighting Techniques] and accurate judgment of the battle situation, he calmly dodged and blocked the fierce attack of the female angel.
His movements didn’t seem fast, but every dodge was just right, and every block was incredibly precise.
He was like a slippery loach, and no matter how the female angel attacked, she could not really hurt him at all.
On the contrary, in the process of dodging and blocking, Zhang Qiu would seize the opportunity from time to time to launch some clever counterattacks.
His counterattacks do not seek strength, but rather skill and precision.
He can always hit the opponent’s weakness or disrupt the opponent’s attack rhythm at the lowest cost.
A series of light noises rang out on the training ground.
The more the fight went on, the more frightened the female angel became, and the more aggrieved she felt.
She felt like she was fighting a shadow. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t really touch the other party. Instead, she was hit one after another.
Although the opponent’s attack force was not strong and did not cause any substantial harm to her, the feeling of being fooled made her feel extremely ashamed and frustrated.
After only a few moves, the female angel found a flaw and Zhang Qiu seized the opportunity to trip her and knock her to the ground.
The whole audience was silent.
Everyone stared at the scene in front of them in amazement, unable to believe their eyes.
How could an “ordinary human” easily defeat a peak-level zero-level angel apprentice in just a few moves?
How is this possible?!
Even the high-level angel instructors who were in charge of instruction showed surprised expressions.
They could see that the fighting techniques used by Zhang Qiu, although basic, were extremely sophisticated, and his judgment of the battle situation and grasp of timing were also perfect.
This level is far beyond what an ordinary human can achieve.
Zhang Qiu did not get carried away by his victory.
He walked up to the fallen angel, stretched out his hand, pulled her up, and then smiled and nodded to her, as if to say, “Thank you.”
The female angel’s face was filled with mixed emotions.
There is shame and reluctance, but more of it is a kind of admiration that comes from the heart.
She knew that her loss was not unfair.
Although the energy fluctuations of this human in front of him were weak, his fighting skills were far superior to his own.
She took a deep breath, bowed solemnly to Zhang Qiu, and said in a somewhat awkward but respectful tone (Zhang Qiu still didn’t understand, but he could feel her respect): “Thank you for your guidance, I benefited a lot.”
The young angels who were watching the battle around also came back to their senses from their shock.
The way they looked at Zhang Qiu had completely changed.
The previous curiosity and contempt have disappeared, replaced by a kind of heartfelt wonder and admiration.
They gathered around and asked Zhang Qiu all kinds of fighting questions.
Although they don’t speak the same language, they can express themselves through body language and gestures.
Zhang Qiu was also happy to communicate with them.
He patiently answered their questions and demonstrated the key points of the movements from time to time.
He did not keep anything to himself, but taught them the essence of the [Silver-Basic Fighting Techniques] that he had mastered without reservation.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the training ground became extremely heated.
Zhang Qiu seemed to have become a popular fighting instructor, surrounded by a group of young angel apprentices who asked him all kinds of questions.
All of this was quietly recorded by the angel who was secretly observing Zhang Qiu’s movements, and quickly passed on to the ears of Angel Yan.
Merlo Heaven, Central Royal Palace.
Angel Yan sat on the throne, quietly listening to his subordinates’ report on Zhang Qiu’s performance in the training ground.
When she heard that Zhang Qiu, an “ordinary human” who had just arrived in Heaven for a few days, could easily defeat a peak-level zero-level angel apprentice with his exquisite fighting skills, and could also point out the problems of other angel apprentices in fighting, a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in her golden eyes.
Chapter 21 Wings of Flight (Old Version)
“Oh? He actually has such a skill?”
The corner of Yan’s mouth curled up into an arc of interest.
She originally thought that Zhang Qiu was just an ordinary human who was lucky enough to survive the space crack.
Although there are some strange energy fluctuations on his body, overall, it is not worth paying too much attention to.
But now it seems that Zhang Qiu is not as simple as she imagined.
How could an ordinary human being without any energy foundation master such exquisite fighting skills in just a few days? Moreover, he could accurately point out the problems of the angel apprentice in training? This was not something that could be achieved by luck alone.
Could it be that he had been hiding his strength? Or did he have some other deeper secrets?
Yan couldn’t help but become more curious about Zhang Qiu’s origins.
At the same time, a sense of vigilance quietly arose in her heart.
A being with unknown origins but with abilities far beyond those of ordinary people will always be a potential threat to the Mello Heavenly Court if it cannot be fully controlled.
“Continue to observe his movements.”
Yan instructed a guard angel beside him, “Pay attention to who he has contacted, what he has done, and whether he has other hidden means.”
The guard angel responded respectfully and then quietly retreated.
Yan’s gaze was cast towards the vast sea of clouds outside the window, with a deep light flashing in his eyes.
“Who are you, Zhang Qiu?”
She whispered to herself.
At this time, Zhang Qiu had no idea that he had once again attracted Angel Yan’s attention and vigilance.
He was still immersed in the joy of exchanging fighting techniques with those young angel apprentices.
Through this “coming to the fore”, he not only successfully gained the friendship and admiration of many young angels, but also became more confident in completing the [initial integration] mission.
He was keenly aware that ever since he showed off his skills on the training ground, the eyes of those watching him seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.
In the past, those eyes were full of vigilance and scrutiny, but now, there is a hint of curiosity and exploration.
This is a good phenomenon.
Zhang Qiu knew that he had to strike while the iron was hot to further consolidate and expand his “results.”
He decided to take the initiative!
In the next few days, Zhang Qiu began to consciously ask the high-level angel instructors in charge of the training ground for some more advanced combat skills.
He was very humble and studious, and was full of “admiration” and “yearning” for the powerful force of angel civilization.
He would seize every opportunity to ask the instructors questions about fighting, energy utilization, and even tactical coordination.
Of course, the questions he asked were carefully designed to show his love of learning and thirst for knowledge without appearing too abrupt or deliberate.
His real purpose, of course, was not just to learn those fighting skills.
More importantly, it is to be able to observe these high-level angels more closely and look for opportunities to plunder their high-quality entries.
The strength of these high-level angel instructors is at least above level two, and the entries they possess are definitely much more advanced than those of the angel apprentices.
If he could successfully plunder one or two gold-level, or even platinum-level entries, his strength would undergo a drastic change.
At the same time, he also wanted to further gain Angel Yan’s trust.
He knew that Yan must be watching his every move.
The more studious he appears and the more he “worships” the angel civilization, the less wary Yan will be of him, and he might even develop some affection for him.
I have to say that Zhang Qiu’s plan went very smoothly.
Those high-level angel instructors also had a favorable impression of Zhang Qiu, the “studious” visitor from another world.
Although they would not teach him the true core secrets of angel civilization, they were still willing to explain to him some basic combat skills and theoretical knowledge.
After all, in their eyes, Zhang Qiu was just an “ordinary human” with weak energy. Even if he had learned some basic knowledge, he wouldn’t be able to make any big waves.
Moreover, being able to show the power of angel civilization to a visitor from another world can also satisfy their vanity.
In this way, Zhang Qiu relied on his “acting skills” and “wisdom” to gradually gain a place for himself in the Melo Heaven.
He was like a stone thrown into a lake. Although small, it caused ripples on the calm surface of the lake.
No one can predict where these ripples will eventually spread to and what kind of storm they will cause.
Zhang Qiu’s “love of studious” and “humility”, as well as his almost “fanatic” worship of angel civilization, eventually attracted Angel Yan’s deeper attention.
She was no longer satisfied with simply learning about Zhang Qiu’s situation through reports from her subordinates, but decided to come forward in person and “guide” this special visitor from another world.
Yan’s purpose was simple, she wanted to see with her own eyes how deep Zhang Qiu’s potential was.
His exquisite fighting skills and precise grasp of the timing of battle were acquired by chance, or did he really possess some unknown talent?
On this day, Yan summoned Zhang Qiu to an aerial platform in the Melo Heavenly Palace which was specially used for flight training of high-level angels.
This platform was suspended thousands of feet in the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist, with howling winds, and was filled with solemnity and majesty.
“You seem very interested in the angel’s flying skills?”
Yan stood on the edge of the platform, with his back to Zhang Qiu, looking at the endless sea of clouds in the distance, and asked in a cold voice.
Her voice rang directly in Zhang Qiu’s mind.
Zhang Qiu’s heart trembled, and he quickly replied respectfully: “Yes, Lord Yan.
The flight of angels is the most graceful and powerful way of moving that I have ever seen.
The feeling of flying freely in the sky is something that people yearn for very much.”
He did not hesitate to express his praise and tried hard to express his “admiration”.
The corners of Yan’s mouth curled up slightly, almost imperceptibly.
She didn’t seem to be disgusted by Zhang Qiu’s “worship”.
“The flight of an angel does not rely solely on the power of its wings. More importantly, it relies on the precise control of its own energy and the ingenious use of air currents in space.”
Yan slowly turned around and looked at Zhang Qiu with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, “Although you don’t have wings, if you can understand some of the basic principles, it may be helpful to your future survival.
Chapter 22: Thirst for Knowledge (Old Version)
Hearing this, Zhang Qiu was immediately delighted.
Is Yan Shangshen going to personally teach me flying skills? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
He immediately showed an expression of being flattered, and said excitedly: “Thank you for the guidance of Lord Yan! I will definitely study hard and will never let you down!”
Yan nodded slightly and said nothing more.
The six pure white wings behind her gently flapped, and her entire body slowly floated into the air as if weightless.
“Watch it.”
Yan’s voice sounded in Zhang Qiu’s mind again.
The next moment, Yan’s figure turned into golden streams of light in the air.
Sometimes she shuttled back and forth as fast as lightning, leaving a series of afterimages in the air; sometimes she was like a nimble swift, circling and gliding gracefully in the strong wind; sometimes she was like a soaring eagle, soaring straight into the sky.
Each of her movements was full of power and beauty, showing the angel’s flying skills to the fullest.
It is not just a simple flight, but more like an art of dancing with the heaven and earth.
Zhang Qiu was so fascinated that he couldn’t take his eyes off.
He concentrated on “learning” every one of Yan’s flying moves, and tried hard to deeply imprint the key points of the movements and the energy fluctuations emanating from Yan in his mind.
At the same time, the [Plunder Entry System] in his mind was also running rapidly.
Various data streams are constantly flashing on the light blue system interface. The system is analyzing Yan’s flying movements, energy utilization methods, and the rules and techniques contained therein at an unimaginable speed.
Yan didn’t seem to notice Zhang Qiu’s little move. She continued to show off her superb flying skills in the air.
She even personally demonstrated several extremely difficult flying maneuvers that required extreme control over energy and space, such as making a 90-degree right-angle turn during rapid flight, or performing continuous rolls and hovering in the air.
These difficult moves made Zhang Qiu dizzy and fascinated.
He knew that these skills were simply a fantasy for him now.
But he still tried hard to memorize and analyze, hoping to gain some understanding from it.
After a long while, Yancai slowly descended from the air and returned to Zhang Qiu’s front.
Her breathing was a little rapid, and a fine layer of sweat oozed out of her forehead. Obviously, the high-intensity flight demonstration just now was not without exhaustion for her.
“The flight of angels is profound and cannot be mastered overnight.”
Yan looked at Zhang Qiu and said calmly, “What I just demonstrated were just some of the most basic techniques.
How much you can understand depends on your own understanding.”
Zhang Qiu quickly bowed and said gratefully, “Thank you very much for your guidance! Your flying skills are like a miracle. They have broadened my horizons and benefited me a lot!”
His words were not entirely compliments. The flying skills that Yan had just demonstrated really shocked him.
Just when Yan finished the demonstration, his breath fluctuated slightly and his spirit relaxed a little, a bold idea suddenly arose in Zhang Qiu’s mind.
plunder!
He wanted to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to try to plunder Yan’s entries about flying skills!
Once this thought appeared, it was like a wild weed that could no longer be stopped.
Yan’s strength is unfathomable. Once she discovers his intentions, the consequences will be disastrous.
But the temptation is too great!
If he could acquire the angel’s flying skills, he would be able to get rid of the dilemma of only being able to walk on the ground, and his mobility would be greatly enhanced.
This will be of vital importance to his future survival and development.
Moreover, Yan had just performed a high-intensity flight demonstration, his breath was slightly fluctuating, and his mind was relatively relaxed. This was undoubtedly the best time for him to take action!
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk!
Zhang Qiu took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
He quietly focused his mind and locked onto the entries above Yan’s head that were shining with dazzling light.
His eyes quickly swept across those gold-level, platinum-level, and even diamond-level entries, and finally landed on one of the entries that was relatively low in level, but crucial to him at the moment.
[Silver – Angel Flying Skills (Beginner)]: Passive item.
They have initially mastered the basic principles and techniques of angel flight, and are able to use energy and wings (if available) to fly short distances and at low altitudes.
(Note: This entry is the basic branch of high-level angel flight skills and can be upgraded later.
）
That’s it!
Although it is only silver level and still the “entry-level” version, it is enough for Zhang Qiu now.
As long as he could understand the basic principles of angel flight, he was confident that with his own understanding and the help of the system, he could slowly master it and even surpass his predecessor.
“System, I want to plunder Yan’s [Silver-Angel Flying Skills (Beginner)] entry!”
Zhang Qiu issued an order decisively in his mind.
He now has 10 plunder points left, and he doesn’t know if it will be enough.
“Ding! Target entry level: Silver.
The target is much stronger than the host, and it is extremely difficult to plunder. “
“It is detected that the target’s current aura is slightly fluctuating and his spirit is slightly relaxed. The success rate of plundering has increased slightly.”
“Plunder: The basic cost of this entry is 50 plunder points.
Basic success rate: 5 percent. “
A five percent success rate?!
Seeing this number, Zhang Qiu’s heart sank.
This success rate is shockingly low! Moreover, it will cost 50 plunder points, which he can’t afford now.
Do you want to give up?
Zhang Qiu’s heart was filled with resentment.
Such an opportunity is really rare. If you miss it, you don’t know when the next one will come.
Just as he was hesitating, the system prompt sounded again:
“Ding! It is detected that the host has a special talent [Soul Essence Suppression (Primary)], which has a certain suppressive effect on low-level soul marks.
This plundering can consume 10 plundering points to forcibly activate this talent, increasing the plundering success rate to 20%.
Chapter 23: Clear Goal (Old Version)
Activate?”
Twenty percent!
Although it was still not high, it was four times higher than the previous 5%! Moreover, it only required 10 plunder points, which was exactly what he had.
Let’s do it!
Zhang Qiu gritted his teeth and said fiercely in his heart: “Activate! Start plundering!”
“Ding! Confirmed to consume 10 plundering points, activate the [Soul Essence Suppression (Elementary)] talent, plunder the [Silver – Angel Flight Skills (Entry Level)] entry, current success rate: 20%.
The looting begins!”
The moment the system prompt sounded, a suction force even stronger than the one when he plundered Angel’s entry suddenly emanated from Zhang Qiu’s body, and instantly connected to Yan’s body like an invisible tentacle.
Yan, who was trying to calm his breath, suddenly shook.
She only felt that in her mind, there was suddenly a slight sense of stagnation in the flying skills that had been ingrained into her bones.
It was as if something was trying to spy on and steal this knowledge that belonged to her from the depths of her memory.
This feeling was very slight and short-lived. If she had not achieved ultimate control over herself, she would probably not have been able to detect it at all.
Yan’s brows furrowed instantly.
A sharp cold light flashed in her golden eyes, like two sharp swords drawn from their sheaths, and instantly locked onto Zhang Qiu who was standing in front of her.
Oh no! We’ve been discovered!
Zhang Qiu’s heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that this was going to be bad.
He could clearly feel a cold and powerful murderous intent emanating from Yan’s body, locking him firmly in place.
At this moment, he even felt that his soul was frozen.
However, just when Yan was about to explode, she seemed to realize something.
She could feel that the force trying to spy on and steal her flying skills was very weak and had no malicious intent. It was more like an instinctive desire and desire to learn?
Moreover, this power seemed to carry a trace of the same origin as hers?
Yan’s brows furrowed even more tightly.
She was a little unsure what was going on.
During this brief moment of hesitation, the system prompt in Zhang Qiu’s mind sounded like a heavenly sound:
“Ding! The plunder was successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the [Silver – Angel Flight Skills (Beginner)] entry!”
“The effect of the entry has been activated, and the relevant knowledge and skills have been instilled.”
Success! It actually worked!
An indescribable ecstasy surged in Zhang Qiu’s heart.
He almost wanted to roar to the sky to vent his excitement.
However, before he had time to be happy, he felt Yan’s cold gaze, still fixed on him, as if he could see through him.
Zhang Qiu’s heart rose to his throat again.
He knew that he had to find a way to dispel Yan’s suspicion, otherwise, what would be waiting for him would probably be the wrath of thunder.
He forced himself to calm down, with a blank and innocent expression on his face, and asked carefully: “God Yanyan, what’s wrong with you? Did I do something wrong?”
He pretended to have no idea what was going on.
Yan looked at Zhang Qiu deeply, his eyes full of scrutiny and suspicion.
She could feel that the strange feeling just now was definitely not an illusion.
Moreover, that feeling seemed to be related to the alien visitor in front of him.
However, she could not find any conclusive evidence from Zhang Qiu.
Zhang Qiu’s energy fluctuations were still weak, and his expression seemed very innocent and confused, not like he was lying at all.
Could it really be my illusion?
Yan also felt a little uncertain.
She was silent for a moment, and finally slowly withdrew the cold murderous intent in her.
“nothing.”
Yan’s tone returned to its previous calmness, “Your performance just now was pretty good.
At least you are watching and taking notes carefully.”
She did not point out the anomaly just now, but instead brought the topic back to the guidance of flying techniques.
Zhang Qiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
It seems that Yan hasn’t noticed his little action for the time being.
In other words, although she had some suspicions, she had no solid evidence.
“Thank you for the compliment, Lord Yan!”
Zhang Qiu immediately showed an expression of gratitude, “Your flying skills are really too advanced. Although I tried hard to memorize them, I am afraid I can only understand a little bit.”
He continued to play dumb, trying hard to reduce his presence.
Yan didn’t say anything else, just looked at Zhang Qiu deeply, then turned and left the aerial platform.
Looking at Yan’s departing back, Zhang Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt his back was soaked with cold sweat.
At that moment, he really thought he was finished.
Fortunately, there was no harm.
He successfully snatched the [Silver – Angel Flying Skills (Beginner’s Guide)] from Yan, an entry that was extremely important to him!
A vast and sophisticated amount of knowledge and skills about angel flight flooded into his mind like a tide.
This includes how to mobilize the energy in the body, how to coordinate with wings (although he doesn’t have them), how to sense and utilize air currents in space, how to maintain balance and maneuver in the air, and so on.
Although it was only at the “entry level”, this knowledge and skills were enough for him to understand the basic principles of angel flight.
He even had a feeling that if he were given a pair of wings, or if the energy in his body became stronger, he would be able to try to fly short distances immediately!
This feeling filled him with excitement and anticipation.
In the next few days, Zhang Qiu was not in a hurry to try flying.
He knew that he didn’t have wings yet, and the energy in his body was still weak. If he tried to fly by force, he would only bring humiliation upon himself.
He put more energy into understanding and comprehending the [Angel Flying Skills].
He would carefully recall every movement that Yan demonstrated at that time, and try hard to analyze the mysteries contained therein.
He would also perform countless simulated flights in his mind, imagining himself soaring in the sky.
At the same time, he also began to think about how to obtain a pair of real wings, or how to fly without wings.
Just as he was immersed in the study and desire of flying skills, a new opportunity came quietly.
On this day, Zhang Qiu took the initiative to find Angel Yan and made a new request to her.
Chapter 24 Initial Trust (Old Version)
“God Yan Shangshen, I hope to have the opportunity to enter the library of Tiancheng and look up some information.”
Zhang Qiu said respectfully, his face full of “desire” and “yearning” for knowledge.
“Oh? What information do you want to check?”
There was a hint of curiosity in Yan’s tone.
“I want to learn more about the great history of angel civilization, the composition of the known universe, and the deeds of those legendary gods.”
Zhang Qiu said sincerely, “I believe that only by gaining a deeper understanding of this world can we better understand the greatness and nobility of angelic civilization, and better make some insignificant contributions to the Heavenly Court.”
He cleverly linked his curiosity for knowledge with his “loyalty” to angel civilization.
Yan looked at Zhang Qiu quietly, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.
She seemed to be thinking about the real intention behind Zhang Qiu’s request.
An “outsider” who is thirsty for knowledge is always easier to control than a reckless man with a brain full of muscles.
Moreover, if he could really comprehend something from those ancient materials, perhaps he could also bring some unexpected value to the Mello Heavenly Palace?
After a little thought, Yan finally agreed to Zhang Qiu’s request.
“Okay, I’ll allow you to enter the library of Amagi.”
Yan said, “But you can only look up information in certain areas. You are not authorized to enter some areas involving the core secrets of the Heavenly Court.
Moreover, all your actions will be monitored.
“Understood! Thank you, Lord Yan, for your permission!”
Zhang Qiu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately bowed and said with tears of gratitude.
He knew that this was another rare opportunity.
The library of Celestial City is a treasure house of knowledge of the entire angelic civilization! It must contain countless secrets and treasures.
If he could obtain some useful information from it, it would play a crucial role in his future plans.
In this way, with Yan’s permission, Zhang Qiu finally obtained the qualification to enter the Melo Heavenly Library.
The library of Tiancheng is an extremely magnificent building.
It is made entirely of a strange crystal that emits a soft white light. Its shape is elegant and solemn, and it is full of sacredness and wisdom.
The space inside the library is even larger than one can imagine.
Countless bookshelves as high as a hundred meters are neatly arranged, filled with countless scrolls, crystal plates, and various strange carriers of knowledge.
The air is filled with a faint scent of ink and energy, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
When Zhang Qiu walked into the library, he was immediately shocked by the vast amount of knowledge before him.
He felt like a tiny ant that had fallen into a boundless ocean.
He forced himself to calm down and began to look for the information he needed in a planned way.
His first concern was with the records of the ideas and thoughts of Holy Kesha.
Holy Kesha, as the supreme leader of angel civilization, her philosophy is undoubtedly a guide for the actions of the entire angel civilization.
Understanding her thoughts is crucial to understanding the future direction of angel civilization.
Secondly, he was concerned about the information about Wang Hexi’s scientific research direction in Tianji.
He Xi is the top scientist in the angel civilization, and her research often represents the forefront of the technological development of the angel civilization.
If we can find some clues from it, perhaps we can predict some future technological breakthroughs.
In addition, he also focused on finding all clues related to major known events in the future.
For example, there are records about the Taotie civilization, legends about the demon civilization, and other races and events that may have a significant impact on the universe.
He also paid special attention to the records of concepts such as “void” and “ultimate fear”.
In the memories of previous lives, these concepts seemed to be closely related to the ultimate fate of the universe.
Although the records about these concepts in the library were very vague and fragmentary, mostly consisting of ancient legends and speculations, Zhang Qiu still recorded them one by one, hoping to find some useful clues from them.
During his days in the library, Zhang Qiu absorbed all kinds of knowledge eagerly.
He felt that his horizons were constantly broadening and his understanding of the world was constantly deepening.
These pieces of knowledge, like pieces of a puzzle, gradually outlined a more complete and clearer picture of the universe in his mind.
This also provides important basis and direction for his future planning.
Zhang Qiu was not just focused on his own “study” and looking up information.
He knew that if he wanted to gain a real foothold in the Melo Heaven, it was not enough to just be “studious”, he also needed to demonstrate his “value” and gain the trust of more angels.
He used the superficial science and engineering knowledge he had accumulated in his previous life, as well as his analysis and understanding of the system prompts, and began to consciously help the library’s maintenance angels to solve some minor faults that they had not been able to resolve for a long time.
For example, the energy lighting system in a certain area often becomes unstable, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, affecting reading.
Zhang Qiu observed carefully for a few days, and combined with some analysis of the energy circuit given by the system, he put forward a suggestion to adjust the energy node parameters.
The maintenance angel accepted his suggestion with a try-it attitude, and as a result, the lighting system in that area was restored to stability.
For example, a certain information retrieval terminal has become very slow to respond and often freezes due to its age.
Through observation and analysis, Zhang Qiu found that the cause was the aging of a certain energy conduction component inside the terminal.
He suggested to the maintenance angel that the aging component be replaced with a new, more energy-conducting material.
After the maintenance angel made the replacement according to his suggestion, the information retrieval terminal indeed became much smoother.
Although these actions seemed to him to be just some insignificant “clever tricks”, they seemed very magical and effective to the angels.
After all, although the technology of the angel civilization is advanced, at some basic levels, or in other words, in solving some “difficult and complicated problems”, their way of thinking is sometimes not as flexible as that of Zhang Qiu, a “visitor from another world”.
Gradually, Zhang Qiu won the initial favor and trust of some library maintenance angels with his “talent” and “helpful” spirit.
They were no longer wary and cautious of him as before, but began to treat him as a “friend” with whom they could communicate and consult.
Chapter 25 Precision Repair (Old Version)
They would take the initiative to greet him, ask him for advice on some difficult problems they encountered at work, and even share with him some interesting stories and gossip about the Mello Heaven.
Zhang Qiu was also happy to establish good relationships with them.
He knew that although the trust of these low-level angels could not directly enhance his strength, it could provide him with more convenience and sources of information, and enable him to better integrate into this angel civilization.
His progress in the [Initial Integration] mission was also steadily improving.
On this day, when Zhang Qiu was looking up information in the library, he accidentally encountered a small trouble.
An artisan angel who was in charge of maintaining the ancient document library of Tiancheng was sighing and brows furrowed as he stared at a scanning machine that looked very sophisticated and complicated.
This craftsman angel is named Fiona, and she is a senior angel who has worked in the Melo Heaven for hundreds of years.
She is responsible for converting the precious documents stored in ancient scrolls and crystal plates into digital information through this sophisticated scanning instrument and storing it in the central database of Heaven.
But recently, something went wrong with this scanning machine. It often malfunctions, the scanned images are blurry, and it even damages those precious ancient documents.
Fiona has invited several maintenance angels to take a look, but none of them have found the root cause of the problem. The equipment has not been repaired yet, which makes her very distressed.
Zhang Qiu saw Fiona’s sad face, and he took the initiative to ask, “Lady Fiona, are you in trouble? Maybe I can help a little?”
Fiona looked up at Zhang Qiu and recognized him as the “visitor from another world” who had recently become famous in the library.
She sighed, pointed at the scanner and said, “It’s all because of this broken machine! It keeps having problems lately, and it’s driving me crazy!”
Zhang Qiu walked to the scanning device and looked at it carefully.
This instrument was indeed very sophisticated and complex, covered with various energy pipelines, crystal lenses, and rune arrays that he could not understand.
While he was observing the instrument, he quietly activated the [Plunder Entry System] and observed the entry information above Fiona’s head.
[Name: Fiona][Race: Angel (Craftsman)][Level: Level 2 (Advanced)][Status: distressed, anxious][Silver – Heart of Angel Craftsman]: Passive item.
He has a high level of understanding and talent for mechanical structures and energy circuits, and is good at making and repairing various angel equipment.
[Gold – Precision Repair]: Passive/active item.
With extremely high repair skills and experience, we are able to accurately diagnose and repair failures of various precision instruments and complex machinery, and can greatly improve the repair efficiency and success rate.
[Bronze – Document Management (Mastery)]: Passive item.
Proficient in the preservation, organization and digital conversion techniques of various ancient documents.
Gold-level entry! [Gold-Precision Repair]!
When Zhang Qiu saw this entry, his eyes suddenly lit up.
This entry was tailor-made for him! If he could plunder this entry, he would not only be able to help Fiona repair the scanner, but also greatly improve his own hands-on ability and technical level.
This will undoubtedly play a huge role in his future survival and development in this technologically highly advanced angel civilization.
He suppressed his excitement, pretended to be very interested in the ancient mechanical structure, and said to Fiona: “Lady Fiona, I am very fascinated by this sophisticated mechanical structure.
Can you tell me how this instrument works? Maybe I can find some problems from a different angle? “
Seeing that Zhang Qiu was so interested in the instrument and his attitude was very sincere, Fiona patiently explained to him briefly the working principle of the scanning instrument and the current fault phenomenon.
Zhang Qiu listened very carefully and occasionally asked some questions that sounded a bit “bizarre”.
As he listened, he secretly compared and verified Fiona’s explanation with the system’s analysis results of the instrument.
Gradually, he gained a deeper understanding of the structure and causes of failure of this scanning device.
Just as Fiona finished her explanation and sighed again, Zhang Qiu suddenly said, “Lady Fiona, I have an idea that may be a little immature. I wonder if I should talk about it?”
“Oh? What do you think? Tell me.”
Fiona looked at Zhang Qiu with some surprise.
Zhang Qiu pondered for a moment, then pointed to a very hidden energy conversion node inside the scanning device and said, “I just noticed that this energy conversion node seems to have some tiny energy leakage.
Although it is very weak, if it accumulates over a long period of time, it may affect the scanning accuracy.
Moreover, the material of this node seems to be a bit aged.
Is it possible that the problem with this node caused the instrument to malfunction?”
The solution he mentioned is actually the optimal solution given by the system after precise analysis.
But he said it in a tone of “guessing” and “uncertainty” so as not to arouse Fiona’s suspicion.
When Fiona heard Zhang Qiu’s words, she was stunned for a moment, then frowned and looked carefully at the energy conversion node that Zhang Qiu pointed to.
That node is very hidden, and it is impossible to find it if you don’t observe it carefully.
She had checked this node before but found nothing obviously abnormal.
But after hearing what Zhang Qiu said, she looked carefully again and there seemed to be some weak energy fluctuations escaping from that node.
“Huh? It seems like there is something wrong?”
There was a hint of surprise and uncertainty in Fiona’s eyes.
She examined it carefully again, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that what Zhang Qiu said made sense.
“How did you find out?”
Fiona looked at Zhang Qiu in disbelief.
She had studied this instrument for hundreds of years and had not discovered the problem. Yet, this visitor from another world pointed out the key to the problem with just one glance?
“I’m just more sensitive to the flow of energy.”
Zhang Qiu said vaguely, “Besides, I have come across some similar ancient machines before, and their failures are often caused by some inconspicuous details.”
Fiona looked at Zhang Qiu doubtfully, pondered for a moment, and said, “Okay, now that you have discovered the problem, do you have any way to fix it?
Chapter 26: Kesha’s Concern (Old Version)
Zhang Qiu was delighted, knowing that the opportunity had come.
He pretended to be hesitant and said: “I can try it.
But I am not familiar with angel technology, so if I break it, please don’t blame me, Lady Fiona.”
“It’s okay, just try it! This machine is almost broken now anyway.”
Fiona waved her hands, as if trying to save the situation.
After obtaining Fiona’s permission, Zhang Qiu took a deep breath, walked forward, and began to try to repair the scanning device.
He did not touch the energy conversion node immediately, but first carefully checked the energy pipelines and rune arrays around the instrument to ensure that there were no other hidden dangers.
Then, he carefully began to adjust the parameters of the energy conversion node using a special technique, and used his weak energy to guide the dissipated energy back to normal track.
His movements looked a little awkward, but they were extremely precise and stable.
Every step seemed to have been rehearsed thousands of times, without the slightest deviation.
This is naturally the precise control of the body brought by [Silver – Basic Fighting Skills], as well as the assistance and guidance provided by the system in secret.
Fiona was terrified as she watched, fearing that Zhang Qiu might accidentally destroy this precious instrument.
But gradually, she discovered that every movement of Zhang Qiu was filled with a kind of indescribable rhythm and beauty, as if he was not repairing a machine but performing a sophisticated artistic creation.
Time passes by every second.
Just when Fiona’s palms began to sweat from nervousness, Zhang Qiu finally stopped what he was doing and let out a long sigh of relief.
“Okay, that should be fine.”
Zhang Qiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Fiona.
Fiona walked forward doubtfully and started the scanning device.
A miracle happened!
The scanner, which had been malfunctioning frequently before, was now running very smoothly! The scanned images also became extremely clear and stable, without any blur or distortion.
“It worked! It actually worked!”
Fiona was so excited that she almost jumped up. She couldn’t believe her eyes.
This problem that had troubled her for several months was solved so easily by this visitor from another world?
The look she gave Zhang Qiu was filled with indescribable shock and gratitude.
At this moment, the long-awaited prompt from the system rang in Zhang Qiu’s mind:
“Ding! It was detected that the host successfully repaired the precision instrument, which resonated with the target Fiona’s entry [Gold-Precision Repair]. The plundering conditions have been met!”
“The target’s favorability towards the host has reached the ‘trust’ level, and the success rate of plundering has increased by 30%!”
“Do you want to spend 50 plundering points to plunder the [Gold – Precision Repair] entry? Current success rate: 50%.”
Fifty percent success rate! Although it is still not high, it is much higher than when I plundered Yan’s flying skills before! Moreover, this entry is gold level!
Zhang Qiu chose “yes” in his heart without hesitation!
A suction force stronger than any previous one emanated from his body and instantly connected to Fiona’s body.
Fiona’s body shook slightly, and she felt that her mind seemed to be in a trance for a moment regarding those sophisticated repair techniques and experience.
But the feeling soon disappeared and did not attract her much attention.
At this moment, she was still immersed in the joy of the successful repair of the instrument.
“Ding! The plunder was successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the [Gold-Precision Repair] entry!”
“The effect of the term has been activated, and the relevant knowledge, skills and experience have been instilled.”
An extremely vast and sophisticated amount of knowledge and experience about precision restoration flooded into Zhang Qiu’s mind like a sudden enlightenment.
He felt that in an instant, he had mastered countless techniques for repairing precision instruments and complex machinery, as if he had been a senior craftsman for hundreds of years!
This feeling is so wonderful!
Zhang Qiu suppressed his ecstasy, put on a humble smile, and said to Fiona: “Lady Fiona, you are too polite. I was just lucky.”
He knew that from this moment on, his life would begin a new chapter!
The news that Zhang Qiu had successfully repaired the precision scanning device quickly spread within the library.
Many angels who had previously been skeptical of him had a marked change in their attitude toward him after witnessing his “miraculous” repair ability with their own eyes.
They no longer simply viewed him as a “visitor from another world” who needed to be wary, but began to see him as a “technical consultant” with special talents.
This precision scanning instrument is no ordinary device. It is related to a very important ancient book digitization project that is personally supervised by Wang Hexi of Tianji.
The purpose of this work is to systematically digitize the countless precious ancient books and historical documents accumulated by the Merlo Heavenly Court over tens of thousands of years, so as to better preserve and pass on the knowledge and wisdom of angelic civilization.
Therefore, when a senior scientific research angel under He Xi, who was in charge of this work, learned that the scanning device that had troubled them for a long time was actually repaired by a “visitor from another world”, she felt very happy and surprised.
She immediately recorded the matter in detail and reported it to Tianji Wang Hexi as an important development.
After learning about this, He Xi also developed a little interest in this “visitor from another world” named Zhang Qiu.
She knew that the scanning device was designed by her herself, and its internal structure was so sophisticated and complex that even the most advanced craftsman angel in the Melo Heaven would need a lot of time and energy to repair it.
And this Zhang Qiu was able to find the key to the problem in a short time and successfully fix it. This is enough to show that he is no ordinary person.
Due to Zhang Qiu’s identity as an “outsider” and his recent “positive” performance in the Melo Heaven – such as teaching angel apprentices fighting skills on the training ground, actively asking high-level angels for advice and learning, and this time successfully repairing the precision scanning equipment – these things eventually reached the ears of Holy Kesha through various channels.
Holy Kesha, as the supreme ruler of angel civilization and the queen of the Melo Heaven, her reputation resounds throughout the known universe.
Chapter 27: The Divine King Summons (Old Version)
The just order she established is the criterion followed by countless civilizations.
Her every word and action is enough to influence the entire universe.
Kaisha didn’t care too much about Zhang Qiu, this little “visitor from another world”.
After all, Melo Heaven comes into contact with various civilizations and life forms from all over the universe every day. A human with weak energy and unknown origins is not enough to attract too much of her attention.
However, when she heard that this “visitor from another world” was not only very studious and full of “admiration” for the angel civilization, but also possessed a special talent for repairing precision instruments, she couldn’t help but develop a faint interest in him.
An “outsider” who is smart, studious, and possesses practical skills may be able to bring some unexpected value to the Mello Heavenly Palace?
Just when Zhang Qiu was still feeling complacent about his successful plunder of the [Gold – Precision Repair] entry and was planning how to use this new entry to gain more benefits for himself, a sudden order disrupted all his plans.
On this day, he received an order from Holy Kesha herself to summon him.
When the attendant angel conveyed this order to him, Zhang Qiu felt extremely excited and filled with indescribable tension in his heart.
Holy Kesha! That was the legendary God King! The supreme leader of the entire angelic civilization, and one of the most powerful beings in the known universe! To be summoned by her personally was a great honor and opportunity for any living being.
If he can gain Kesha’s recognition and trust, his future situation in Melo Heaven will undoubtedly undergo earth-shaking changes.
He might even take this opportunity to get in touch with the core secrets of angel civilization and gain even more powerful strength.
However, opportunities are often accompanied by risks.
Kesha’s wisdom and power are unfathomable.
In front of her, any lies and disguises can be easily seen through.
If I behave carelessly, or if she finds out the secret I’m hiding, then what awaits me will probably be an abyss of no return.
He knew that he had to be extremely alert and careful in dealing with the situation.
Led by the attendant angel, Zhang Qiu passed through a series of heavily guarded checkpoints and came to a magnificent palace emitting a sacred glow.
This palace is the central royal hall where Holy Kesha handles government affairs and receives important people.
Walking into the palace, Zhang Qiu was immediately shocked by the scene before him.
The space inside the palace was more spacious and taller than any building he had ever seen before.
The dome was inlaid with countless gems as bright as stars, emitting a soft and majestic light, illuminating the entire palace like daylight.
The ground was paved with an unknown golden jade stone, which was mirror-clear and spotless.
The surrounding walls are carved with countless exquisite reliefs, depicting the glorious history and heroic deeds of the angel civilization over tens of thousands of years.
At the end of the palace is a high platform made of pure energy.
On the high platform, there is a huge and magnificent golden throne.
On the throne sat a beautiful goddess wearing a white robe, a golden crown on her head, and six holy wings on her back.
She is the Holy Kesha!
Kesha’s appearance is so perfect that it cannot be described in any words.
Her facial features are as delicate as if they were carved by a god, and her skin is whiter than snow and as smooth as a baby’s.
A head of brilliant golden hair fell behind her shoulders like a waterfall, emitting a faint halo.
Her eyes were calm and profound, as if they contained the wisdom and mysteries of the entire universe.
She exudes an indescribable aura of majesty and holiness.
That kind of atmosphere makes people feel awe and submission, as well as warmth and peace of mind.
It seems that as long as she is there, the justice and order of the entire universe can be eternally protected.
In front of Kesha, Zhang Qiu felt as small as a speck of dust.
He didn’t even dare to look directly at Kesha’s face, for fear that his gaze would blaspheme this sacred queen.
He immediately bowed deeply and saluted Kesha with extreme humility and respect.
“I am Zhang Qiu, a humble visitor from another world, and I am here to pay my respects to the supreme and holy Queen Kesha!”
Zhang Qiu’s voice was trembling slightly due to excessive nervousness, but he still tried hard to make his words sound as smooth and sincere as possible.
“It is the greatest honor of my life to witness the sacred face of Her Majesty the Queen! Your wisdom and brilliance, like the brightest stars in the universe, illuminate our way forward! Your justice and order are the beacon that all peace-loving civilizations aspire to!”
Zhang Qiu did not hesitate to praise Kesha and used all the fancy words he could think of to describe her.
He knew that facing such a great God-King, any reserve and arrogance would be foolish and fatal.
Only by showing enough humility and admiration can you win her favor.
Kesha sat quietly on the throne, looking calmly at Zhang Qiu who was crawling in front of her.
There was no expression on her face, making it impossible to guess what she was feeling at the moment.
Just when Zhang Qiu was having trouble breathing due to excessive nervousness, the [Plunder Entry System] in his mind suddenly sounded an alarm frantically!
“Warning! Warning! A super-high energy life form has been detected! The target’s strength far exceeds the host’s cognitive limit! Some functions of the system are suppressed! Please remain absolutely respectful and do not attempt any exploration or plundering behavior! Otherwise, unpredictable catastrophic consequences will occur!”
A series of bright red warning prompts flashed wildly on the system interface in front of Zhang Qiu, like a screen full of messages.
The strong sense of crisis made him feel like his soul was trembling.
Subconsciously, he couldn’t help but use the system’s detection function and carefully glanced at the entry information above Kesha’s head.
With just one glance, he felt as if his eyes were about to be blinded by the dazzling light like the sun!
[Name: Keisha][Race: Angel (Holy King)][Level: ? ? ? (Has exceeded the upper limit of the known universe life level, cannot be estimated)][Status: Calm, Scrutiny][King – Treasure House of Sacred Knowledge]: Core/concept entry.

King! King! Still the King!
A series of “King”-level entries that shone brighter than diamonds, like a mountain pressing down on his head, hit Zhang Qiu’s heart hard, making him feel like his soul was about to be crushed!
Each entry exuded a terrifying pressure that made his soul tremble! Each entry represented a supreme power that exceeded the limits of his imagination!
[Sacred Knowledge Treasury]! She is a mobile library that stores the knowledge of the entire angel civilization!
[Absolute Justice Order]! Her will is the rule, she can define and judge everything!
[Sacred Body (Fourth Generation Peak)]! Immune to all attacks, infinite regeneration! How can we fight this?
[Silver Wing (Concept Armament)]! Cut through space, annihilate matter, judge souls, and destroy galaxies! This is simply the weapon of the Creator God in mythology and legends!
There are also [Skyblade Throne] and [Sacred Realm]Zhang Qiu’s scalp tingled and his heart was broken with fear.
He felt like a tiny ant, looking up at an almighty god that spanned the entire universe.
He knew clearly that with just a thought from Kesha, she didn’t even need to use those terrifying terms. Just relying on her vast mental power, she could completely wipe him out from this world without leaving even a trace.
In front of such an existence, he didn’t dare to have any thoughts of plunder.
Not to mention plundering, he didn’t even have the courage to look directly at Kesha, for fear that his gaze would cause displeasure to the God-King.
He could only bury his head lower, his body trembling slightly with fear, trying his best to show his most humble, respectful and harmless side.
Keisha didn’t seem to care about Zhang Qiu’s gaffe.
Her calm and deep gaze stayed on Zhang Qiu for a moment, and then she slowly said, “Raise your head, visitor from another world.”
Her voice was still cold and majestic, but it carried a strange magic that made people want to obey involuntarily.
Zhang Qiu’s body trembled violently when he heard this, and he quickly and carefully raised his head, but still did not dare to look directly into Kesha’s eyes. He just cast his gaze at the golden jade ground under Kesha’s feet.
“Your name is Zhang Qiu, right?”
Keisha asked.
“Yes, your majesty.”
Zhang Qiu replied respectfully.
“Where are you from? Why are you in Mello Heaven?”
It was impossible to tell whether Kesha was happy or angry from her tone.
Zhang Qiu’s mind immediately started to work rapidly.
He knew that this was Kesha’s first formal test of him.
His answer will directly determine his future destiny.
He didn’t dare to hide anything (of course, he would never tell anyone about the system, even if he died), but he couldn’t tell the truth either.
He had to invent a background that would explain his origins without arousing Kesha’s suspicion.
He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound as calm and sincere as possible: “Your Majesty, I come from a distant and tiny galaxy. My hometown is a primary civilization called ‘Blue Star’.
Our Blue Star civilization loves peace, values knowledge, and is committed to exploring the mysteries of the universe.
However, in an unfortunate cosmic disaster, our home was destroyed and I was the only survivor. “
When he said this, there was just the right hint of sadness and loneliness in his voice.
“During that disaster, I was accidentally sucked into a space rift and then lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I found myself in this sacred and great Merlot Heaven.”
“As for the superficial knowledge and skills I have, they are the unique heritage accumulated by our Blue Star civilization over thousands of years.
Although we, the Blue Star people, are weak individually, we attach great importance to the accumulation of knowledge and the application of wisdom.”
Zhang Qiu flawlessly fabricated the background of a destroyed, peace-loving, knowledge-based primitive civilization, and attributed all his “talents” – such as fighting skills, repair abilities, etc. – to the unique heritage of that civilization.
He knew that although this kind of rhetoric was a bit old-fashioned, it was the least likely to go wrong.
A destroyed civilization cannot be verified; a civilization that loves peace and knowledge is more likely to gain the favor of angels.
Keisha listened to Zhang Qiu’s story quietly, with no expression on her face.
Her deep eyes seemed to be able to see through all lies and falsehoods.
Zhang Qiu felt uneasy.
He didn’t know whether Keisha believed him.
After a long while, Kesha slowly said, “Your hometown has been destroyed?”
Zhang Qiu’s tone was filled with sadness, “In that disaster, I lost everything. My family, my friends, and my homeland all turned into cosmic dust.
Chapter 29: Leniency (Old Version)
He even shed a few tears at just the right moment, trying hard to create an atmosphere of grief.
Keisha’s gaze lingered on his face for a moment, as if trying to determine the truthfulness of his words.
Finally, she nodded slightly and said, “The dead are gone, and the living are like this.
It is a blessing in disguise that you were able to survive the disaster and come to the Merlo Heavenly Palace.”
Her tone seemed to soften.
It seems that Kesha believed his words, or she didn’t care about the truth of the words.
For a being like her, the destruction of a tiny civilization might not be enough to cause her too much emotional fluctuation.
“I heard that you have recently learned a lot about our angel civilization in the library of Tiancheng?”
Keisha changed the subject and asked.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Zhang Qiu quickly replied, “I am extremely shocked and in awe of the great history and splendid culture of the Angel Civilization! I hope to learn more about the wisdom and power of the Angel Civilization through study so that I can better adapt to life here.”
He chose his words carefully.
When Kesha heard this, the corners of her mouth seemed to curl up slightly in an imperceptible arc.
“A soul hungry for knowledge is more valuable than an ignorant soul.”
Kesha said, “Your initiative to learn angel knowledge is worthy of praise.”
Hearing this, Zhang Qiu’s heart was suddenly filled with ecstasy.
Kesha actually praised him! This is undoubtedly a positive sign!
“In recognition of your eagerness to learn, I will grant you access to more non-core databases.”
Kesha continued, “At the same time, you will be allowed to move more freely within the Sky City.
But you must remember that the rules of the Mello Heaven cannot be trampled upon by anyone.
If you do anything that endangers the safety of Heaven, I will never tolerate it.”
Her tone, though calm, carried an unquestionable majesty.
“Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!”
Zhang Qiu quickly bowed again and said with tears of gratitude, “I, Zhang Qiu, swear to heaven that I will never do anything to harm the Melo Heavenly Court! I will definitely study hard and strive to make some small contributions to the Heavenly Court as soon as possible to repay Her Majesty the Queen for her kindness!”
He knew that he had made the right bet!
Kesha seemed to have developed some interest and affection for him, a “studious” “visitor from another world”.
Although this affection was still shallow, it won him more living space and development opportunities.
After obtaining Kesha’s permission, Zhang Qiu’s situation in Melo Heaven has indeed improved significantly.
Not only did he gain access to more non-core databases, allowing him to access more in-depth knowledge and information in the library, but his scope of activities in Tiancheng was also greatly expanded.
Except for a few restricted areas involving core secrets, he can move freely in almost every corner of Tiancheng.
This is undoubtedly great news for him.
He immediately devoted more energy to acquiring knowledge.
After obtaining higher database permissions, Zhang Qiu discovered some special information in the library that was previously inaccessible and sealed.
Among them, what interested him most was the research data and war records about the Demon Queen Morgana (also known as the former Apocalypse King Liang Bing).
Morgana, the younger sister of Holy Kesha, was once the King of Apocalypse. However, she later rebelled against the Melo Celestial Court due to differences in ideology and became the Demon Queen. She waged a war with the angel civilization led by Kesha for tens of thousands of years.
She is one of the main enemies of angel civilization and also a vital role in the future universe.
Zhang Qiu knew that understanding Morgana and the demon civilization she led in advance would play a crucial role in his future plans.
He spent a lot of time carefully studying the sealed documents.
These materials record in detail the origin, development, organizational structure, combat methods, genetic characteristics of the demon civilization, as well as Morgana’s own behavior style, personality traits, and even some unknown secrets.
Through these materials, Zhang Qiu gained a deeper understanding of Morgana, a complex and charming character.
He knew about her ideals, her madness, her helplessness, and the love-hate relationship between her and Kesha.
He also learned about the power and weirdness of the demon genes, as well as the demon army’s unpredictable combat methods.
Although this knowledge cannot directly improve his strength, it provides important reference and basis for his future dealings with demonic civilization.
He even began to silently conceive some strategies and plans to deal with the demons in his mind.
In addition to information about demons, Zhang Qiu also consulted a large number of records about other powerful civilizations and gods in the known universe.
For example, the Sunlight of the Fiery Sun Civilization, Karl, the God of Death of the Styx Galaxy, and some ancient, mysterious and unknown existences.
His understanding of the world is constantly deepening and expanding.
He knew that he was like a dry sponge, madly absorbing the sweet rain of knowledge.
And this knowledge will eventually become the capital for him to settle down and even stir up the world in this magnificent universe in the future.
Of course, while studying hard, Zhang Qiu did not forget to continue improving his own abilities.
He took advantage of his freer range of movement and began to consciously come into contact with more different types of angels, looking for opportunities to plunder high-quality entries.
He would go to the angels’ workshops to watch the craftsmen angels build and repair various precision instruments and weapons, hoping to learn more about technology and engineering. He also hoped to encounter top-quality entries like [Gold – Precision Repair] again.
He would go to the angels’ medical clinics and observe how the medical angels used divine energy to heal the wounded, hoping to gain some insights into the mysteries of life science and energy healing.
He would even go to some of the angels’ entertainment venues, such as concert halls, art galleries, etc., hoping to snatch some special entries related to spirit, perception, or charm from those artistic angels.
His life became extremely fulfilling and busy.
Chapter 30: Demon’s First Exploration (Old Version)
He is like an industrious bee, tirelessly collecting the nectar of knowledge and power in the huge garden of Merlot Heaven.
And everything he did was secretly watched by some eyes.
Although Holy Kesha gave him greater freedom, she did not completely relax her surveillance on him.
She was still silently observing this special “visitor from another world”, wanting to see what kind of surprises or troubles he could bring her.
Zhang Qiu knew this very well.
But he didn’t care.
He believed that as long as he performed “excellently” enough, was “harmless” enough, and could continue to bring some “value” to Mello Heaven, then he could get everything he wanted here.
His ambition is quietly expanding as his strength and knowledge grow.
He was no longer satisfied with just surviving in the Mello Heaven. He began to desire to leave his own mark on this magnificent cosmic stage, or even change some predetermined destinies!
And all this is just the beginning.
A storm that will sweep across the entire universe is quietly brewing.
And what role will he, this soul from another world, play in this storm?
No one knows the answer.
But Zhang Qiu knew that he would use his own hands to write his own legend!
During the time in Melo Heaven, Zhang Qiu, with his “wisdom” and “hard work”, gradually established an image of an alien visitor who was “studious”, “humble”, “helpful” and “possessed special talents” in the minds of low-level angels and some high-level angels.
Holy Kesha’s attention to him also changed from the initial routine to a tacit approval with a little curiosity and scrutiny.
In order to test the training results of the angel apprentices and improve their actual combat capabilities, the Melo Heavenly Court will regularly hold some simulated confrontation training.
These trainings are usually conducted in the form of team confrontations, simulating various complex battlefield environments and combat missions, aiming to cultivate the angels’ teamwork ability, tactical qualities and adaptability.
Due to Zhang Qiu’s recent “positive” performance in the Melo Heavenly Court and his almost “fanatic” curiosity about angel civilization, he unexpectedly received an invitation to be a “special observer” in an upcoming team simulation confrontation training.
This invitation naturally received the tacit approval of Holy Kesha.
Kesha also seemed to want to use this method to further observe Zhang Qiu’s abilities and potential, and to see how this “visitor from another world” would perform when faced with a real (although simulated) combat environment.
Zhang Qiu naturally would not miss this rare opportunity.
He knew that this was not only a good opportunity to observe the angels’ combat methods up close and learn tactical command, but also a great stage to demonstrate his own “value” and further gain trust and attention.
Simulated confrontation training is carried out in a huge virtual battlefield constructed by energy.
The battlefield environment is complex and changeable, with mountains, rivers, forests, city ruins, etc., covering almost all possible combat terrains.
Those who participated in the confrontation were all young angel apprentices. They were randomly divided into several teams. Each team was led by a relatively experienced elite angel (usually a second or third level angel) who was in charge of the team.
As a “specially invited observer”, Zhang Qiu was not assigned to any team, but was allowed to observe in a safe area on the edge of the battlefield.
But he was keenly aware that this was also a test.
If he is just a bystander, then his value is limited to that.
Just as the confrontation was about to begin, an accident occurred.
The captain of one of the teams was unable to participate in this simulated confrontation due to an emergency mission.
The strength of this team was relatively weak. Most of the members were angel apprentices who had just been promoted and lacked practical experience.
Now that they have lost their captain, the situation has become even worse, and morale seems a little low.
The high-level angel instructor who was in charge of organizing this simulated confrontation felt a bit troubled by this.
Temporarily replacing the captain will not only disrupt the original deployment, but also make it difficult to find a suitable candidate in a short period of time.
At this moment, Zhang Qiu took the initiative to step forward.
“Dear angels,” Zhang Qiu said in a humble and sincere tone (although he still spoke his own language, after spending some time together, the high-level angels could roughly understand some simple meanings, not to mention that he would also use rich body language and expressions), “If you don’t mind, I might be able to try to temporarily command this team.
Although I am weak and have no practical command experience, I have recently learned some knowledge about tactics and teamwork in the library. Perhaps I can be of some help?”
His words surprised the angels present.
An “ordinary human” actually wanted to command a team of angels to conduct a simulated confrontation? This was simply unheard of!
The young angel apprentices looked at him with curiosity and suspicion.
Although they admired Zhang Qiu’s fighting skills and repair abilities, commanding a battle was a completely different field that required rich experience, keen judgment, and strong leadership.
Can this visitor from another world really do this?
The high-level angel instructor who was in charge of organizing the confrontation also frowned, obviously feeling that Zhang Qiu’s proposal was a little inappropriate.
Just as the scene fell into an awkward silence, a cold and majestic voice suddenly came from the sky and rang directly in everyone’s mind:
“Okay.”
It’s Angel Yan’s voice!
Yan Shangshen actually agreed? !
All the angels showed surprised expressions.
They didn’t expect that God Yan Shang would agree to let an “ordinary human” command a team of angels.
Zhang Qiu was also slightly happy in his heart.
He knew that this must be Kesha’s tacit consent, or that Kesha wanted to further test his abilities in this way.
In this case, he must not let down this “expectation”.
In this way, Zhang Qiu was ordered to become the “acting commander” of the weaker angel team that temporarily lost its captain.
When he walked up to the young angel apprentices, their eyes were full of distrust and suspicion.
Chapter 31 Simulation of Fame (Old Version)
They obviously didn’t believe that this seemingly fragile “ordinary human” could lead them to victory.
Zhang Qiu didn’t pay attention to their gazes.
He knew that if he wanted to gain their trust, it was useless to just talk, he had to show real results.
He took a deep breath and began to carefully study the rules and battlefield environment of this simulated confrontation.
The mission of this simulated confrontation is “capture the flag”.
Both teams need to find and capture the opponent’s flag in a complex battlefield environment while protecting their own flag.
The side that captures the opponent’s flag first, or whose flag is not captured within the specified time and causes greater “casualties” to the enemy (determined by energy sensors), will win.
Zhang Qiu carefully analyzed the battlefield map and the strength comparison between the two teams.
The average strength of the players in his team is indeed weaker than that of other teams, and there is also a lack of tacit cooperation among them.
If they follow conventional tactics and fight head-on, they will have almost no chance of winning.
We must surprise you to win!
Zhang Qiu’s mind was working rapidly.
He mobilized all the tactical theories he had recently learned in the library, as well as the ultimate understanding of the rules of this simulated confrontation that he had gained through systematic analysis.
At the same time, he also remembered several key terms he had:
[Silver – Basic Combat Techniques (Mastery)]: Although it is just a command, it may come in handy at a critical moment.
[Silver – Angel Flying Skills (Beginner)]: Although he cannot fly yet, he can use the knowledge from this entry to better understand and command those angel team members who can fly.
[Bronze – Angelic Constitution (Weak)]: Allows him to maintain more energy and physical strength during high-intensity command and thinking.
Another one was a new entry that he accidentally stole while studying a book on ancient war strategies and fraud tactics in the library a few days ago:
[Bronze – Tactical Deception (Beginner)]: Active/Passive entry.
Be able to initially understand and apply some basic tactical deception methods, such as camouflage, misleading, bluffing, and feinting to the east to attack in the west, to confuse and disrupt the enemy in battle.
Although it is only at the bronze level and an “entry-level” version, it may have an unexpected effect on the current simulated confrontation.
The corner of Zhang Qiu’s mouth curled up into a confident arc.
He already had a rough plan.
“Everyone,” Zhang Qiu said in a calm and firm tone (he still used his own language, but his eyes and tone conveyed an unquestionable confidence) looking at the angel apprentices who were still full of doubts about him, “I know you may not believe me.
But now, we have no way out.
If we want to win this, we have to unite and follow my lead.
I promise you, as long as you trust me completely and act according to my plan, we will have a chance and create a miracle! “
Although his words were simple, they were inexplicably infectious.
The doubts of those young angel apprentices were alleviated a little when they saw Zhang Qiu’s confident eyes.
They decided to believe this “visitor from another world” for once.
The simulated confrontation officially begins.
Unlike other team commanders, Zhang Qiu did not order his team to advance at full speed from the beginning, seize favorable terrain, or actively seek out the enemy to engage in battle.
Instead, he ordered his troops to move immediately to a very remote and hidden valley area on the edge of the battlefield, and along the way, he cleverly used the terrain and vegetation to set up some simple camouflage and deceptive traps.
His order made the angel apprentices in the team feel very puzzled.
In their view, this behavior is simply cowardice and escape.
But Zhang Qiu insisted on his order in an unquestionable tone.
In the following time, Zhang Qiu commanded the team, lurking in the valley, patiently waiting for the opportunity.
He continuously sent out team members with strong reconnaissance capabilities, using the knowledge of [Angel Flying Skills (Beginners)] to instruct them on how to conduct covert aerial reconnaissance and collect intelligence on the movements of other teams.
At the same time, he also used the ability of [Bronze – Tactical Deception (Beginner)] to command his team members to create various illusions on the battlefield to mislead and confuse the enemy.
For example, on an important traffic route, some traces of battle are deliberately left to make the enemy think that a fierce exchange of fire has taken place here; or, in a stronghold that seems to be heavily defended, only a few team members are left to bluff, while the main force has already quietly moved to other places.
Although his tactics seem unconventional and even a bit “dirty”, they are very effective.
Several powerful teams were deceived by the illusions he created, wasting a lot of time and energy, searching and deploying troops in the wrong places, and even causing internal strife and misjudgment.
Zhang Qiu’s team successfully avoided danger time and time again with accurate intelligence and clever disguise, and never had a large-scale head-on conflict with other teams.
The situation on the battlefield became increasingly chaotic and stalemate.
While other teams were still fighting for some insignificant strongholds, Zhang Qiu keenly captured a fleeting opportunity.
Through reconnaissance, he learned that a very powerful team led by an elite angel captain had placed their battle flag in a relatively weakly defended rear area due to overconfidence and underestimation of the enemy.
“The opportunity has come!”
Zhang Qiu’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He immediately gave orders, commanding the two angel apprentices with the fastest flying speed and the strongest concealment ability in his team to form an assault team. Using the cover of night (there is also a day and night cycle in the virtual battlefield), they quietly bypassed the enemy’s defense line and headed straight for the location of the opponent’s flag.
At the same time, he also ordered other members of the team to launch a feint attack on the front battlefield to attract the enemy’s attention and create opportunities for the assault team.
This was a very risky operation.
Once the assault team is discovered by the enemy, or the feint attack force is unable to delay the enemy’s main force, they will face the danger of being wiped out.
Chapter 32: Plunder Backlash (Old Version)
But Zhang Qiu was full of confidence in his plan.
The fighting process is full of thrills and excitement.
Relying on superb flying skills and clever camouflage, the commando team successfully sneaked near the enemy’s flag.
But just when they were about to succeed, they were discovered by an extremely vigilant enemy sentry.
A small-scale encounter broke out in an instant.
At the same time, on the front battlefield, the feint attack troops commanded by Zhang Qiu also engaged in fierce fire with the enemy’s main force.
Although they were not as strong as the enemy, under Zhang Qiu’s skillful command, they took advantage of the terrain, resisted step by step, and finally held back the enemy.
At the critical moment, Zhang Qiu once again demonstrated his amazing tactical talent.
He keenly judged that the enemy commander’s attention had been attracted by the fierce fighting on the front battlefield, and the defense of the battle flags in the rear would definitely be relaxed.
He decisively ordered the feint attack troops to fire a feint, pretend to be defeated, and “rout” in the wrong direction.
This move really confused the enemy commander.
He thought that Zhang Qiu’s troops had run out of tricks, so he ordered the main force to pursue them with all their might, hoping to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
At the moment when the enemy’s main force was lured away, the two angel apprentices in charge of the assault, after paying the price of one “death” in battle, finally succeeded in capturing the enemy’s flag!
When the signal representing victory lit up above the battlefield, everyone was stunned.
No one expected that the final winner of this simulated confrontation would be the weakest and least favored team!
The one who created this miracle was actually the unknown “visitor from another world” – Zhang Qiu!
The entire training ground suddenly erupted in thunderous cheers and exclamations.
Those angel apprentices who had been full of doubts about Zhang Qiu before now looked at him with eyes full of admiration and worship.
They gathered around and threw Zhang Qiu high into the air, celebrating this hard-earned victory.
Even the high-level angel instructors who were responsible for organizing the confrontation were full of praise for Zhang Qiu’s performance.
They had to admit that this “visitor from another world” did possess talent and wisdom far beyond that of ordinary people in terms of tactical command.
Zhang Qiu’s “simulated fame” once again caused quite a stir in the Melo Heavenly Court.
His name also began to be known by more and more angels.
However, while Zhang Qiu was immersed in the joy of victory and the praise of everyone, he secretly did something very risky.
The elite angel captain who was defeated by him with a strategy was named Arya, a high-level angel whose strength had reached the initial level of the third order.
She is proud and competitive, and felt very unwilling and angry about this failure.
Just when the victory signal sounded and Arya was distracted and upset by the failure, Zhang Qiu quietly used the [Plundering Item System] to try to plunder a very powerful item from her.
[Platinum – Combat Instinct]: Passive item.
In battle, he possesses extraordinary intuition and predictive ability, can sense danger in advance, and instinctively make the most correct response.
This entry is a magical skill for any combatant! If Zhang Qiu can plunder this entry, his combat ability and survival ability will make a qualitative leap.
He knew that the difficulty of plundering platinum-level entries would definitely be far greater than the previous bronze and silver levels.
But he still wanted to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when the other party’s mind was distracted and give it a try!
However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.
The moment he launched his plunder, an unimaginably strong resistance force erupted from Arya’s body.
That kind of power comes not only from the strength of the entry itself, but also from Arya’s indomitable willpower!
“Beep! Warning! The target’s willpower is extremely strong, and the item’s protection power is strong! Plunder failed!”
“Warning! Plunder failed! The host suffered a strong mental backlash! The soul was shocked!”
The system’s cold prompt sounded in Zhang Qiu’s mind like a death knell.
The next moment, an indescribable pain, like a tide, instantly swept through his entire soul! He felt as if his head was about to be torn apart, his eyes went dark, the world spun, and he almost fell to the ground.
That kind of pain was several times more intense than the pain he had experienced when his soul was torn apart before! He almost lost consciousness.
“Ugh” Zhang Qiu couldn’t help but let out a painful groan. His face instantly turned pale as paper and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
He endured the severe pain and used all his strength to barely support his body and not fall down on the spot.
Angel Yan, who happened to be watching the simulated confrontation, immediately noticed that Zhang Qiu was in an abnormal state.
Her sharp eyes instantly locked onto Zhang Qiu, and her figure flashed and appeared in front of him.
“Zhang Qiu, what’s wrong with you?”
There was a hint of concern and confusion in Yan’s tone.
She could feel that Zhang Qiu was in a very bad condition at the moment. His mental power was fluctuating extremely violently, as if he had suffered some serious shock.
Zhang Qiu endured the sharp pain in his head, which was like a needle piercing his head, and managed to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said in a hoarse voice: “God Yanyan, I’m fine.
Maybe I was too involved in the battle just now, and I was too exhausted mentally. Plus, I’ve been studying too much recently, so I feel a little uncomfortable.”
He knew that he must not expose the failure of the plunder, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
He could only use this reasonable-sounding excuse to cover up his abnormality.
Yan’s brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
She could feel that Zhang Qiu’s explanation seemed a bit far-fetched.
Excessive mental exertion would lead to weakness and fatigue, but it would never be like he is now, with a pale face, trembling all over, as if his soul was about to leave his body.
However, Zhang Qiu’s reasons do sound reasonable.
After all, he was just an “ordinary human being”, and it was understandable that he was mentally exhausted to command such a complex simulated confrontation and win.
Moreover, he has indeed been very “studious” recently, spending all day in the library, so it is not impossible that he has overused his brain.
Chapter 33: Clever Concealment (Old Version)
Yan carefully observed Zhang Qiu for a moment, but did not find any other obvious abnormalities in him.
In the end, she temporarily suppressed her doubts.
“In that case, you should pay more attention to rest.”
Yan’s tone returned to normal, “Don’t push yourself too hard.
The knowledge of the Melo Heavenly Palace cannot be learned overnight.”
“Thank you for your concern, Lord Yan.”
Zhang Qiuru was pardoned and nodded in response.
Yan didn’t say anything more, just looked at Zhang Qiu deeply, then turned and left.
Looking at Yan’s departing back, Zhang Qiucai finally couldn’t hold on any longer, his body went limp, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Fortunately, an angel apprentice nearby was quick-eyed and quick-handed and supported him in time.
Zhang Qiu’s heart was filled with fear and relief.
What I’m scared of is that I was almost exposed just now.
If Bei Yan found out that he had dared to secretly plunder the entries of a high-level angel, and a platinum level one at that, the consequences would be disastrous.
Fortunately, I managed to get away with it.
At the same time, his mind was also filled with vigilance against the risk of high-quality entries being plundered.
This failed plunder and the strong mental backlash made him deeply realize that plundering high-quality entries is by no means easy!
It not only requires the cooperation of multiple factors such as the target’s own strength, willpower, mental state, etc., but also seems to be closely related to one’s own strength, as well as the level and authority of the system.
He was able to successfully plunder the [Gold – Precision Repair] entry before because his target Fiona was full of trust and gratitude towards him, and she herself was not a combatant and had relatively weak willpower.
This time, the one he tried to plunder was a battle-hardened, strong-willed Tier 3 Elite Angel Captain, and he did it at the moment when she lost her mind.
Even so, it still ended in failure and suffered such a strong mental backlash.
This is enough to show that the difficulty of plundering platinum-level entries has far exceeded his current ability to bear.
As for beings like Yan and even Kaisha at that level, Zhang Qiu didn’t even dare to think about the attributes that shone with the king’s light on them.
That is simply wishful thinking and a dead end!
It seems that the path to quickly improve strength by plundering high-quality entries is much more difficult and dangerous than he imagined.
He must be more cautious, make a more careful plan, and never try anything rashly unless he is absolutely sure.
Alternatively, he needs to find a way to improve his basic strength, as well as the level and authority of the system.
Only in this way will he be able to challenge more difficult plundering targets in the future.
Although this failed experience cost him a heavy price (his soul was traumatized and it would take some time to recover), it also gave him a clearer understanding of the system and his own strengths.
He knew that his future road was still long and difficult.
In the next few days, Zhang Qiu has been quietly recuperating from his spiritual trauma.
The pain caused by the mental backlash took him several days to recover.
He also began to think seriously about how to improve his strength more safely and effectively.
Since directly plundering high-quality entries is too risky, perhaps we can start from other aspects?
His attention gradually turned to the two core technologies that the angel civilization was most proud of – genetic technology and divine body technology.
He learned from the information in the library that the reason why angels are so powerful is largely due to their superior genes and their divine bodies that have been upgraded and improved through generations.
The genes of angels give them long life, powerful strength, and a strong affinity for various energies.
The angel’s divine body integrates various cutting-edge technologies and possesses super defensive capabilities, rapid recovery capabilities, and the ability to carry various powerful weapon systems.
If he can make breakthroughs in these two aspects, he will undoubtedly be able to greatly improve his basic qualities and ability to withstand high-level energy.
In this way, not only will his combat effectiveness be greatly enhanced, but also his success rate and safety will be greatly increased when plundering high-quality entries in the future.
Thinking of this, the flame of hope was rekindled in Zhang Qiu’s heart.
He began to consciously collect all public information on genetic engineering, divine body construction, and energy application in the library.
Although most of these materials are basic theories and public information, he still cannot access the confidential parts involving core technologies.
But even these basic knowledge are profound and extensive for him, a “visitor from another world”, and require a lot of time and energy to learn and understand.
He was like an apprentice who had just stepped into a completely new field, starting from the most basic knowledge, nibbling and absorbing bit by bit.
He learned how the genetic sequences of angels were encoded and expressed, the structural principles of different generations of divine bodies and how the energy cores worked, and how divine energy was extracted, transformed, and applied by angels.
This knowledge was boring and tedious, but Zhang Qiu learned it with great interest.
Because he knew that this knowledge was the foundation for his future growth.
He even tried to compare and verify some of the knowledge of biology, physics, chemistry, etc. that he had learned in his previous life with the scientific and technological theories of angel civilization, hoping to find some commonalities, or some areas for reference and innovation.
Although these ideas of his may seem very naive and ridiculous to those angels who master god-level technology.
But Zhang Qiu never gets tired of it.
Because he knows that knowledge itself is a kind of power.
And he is working hard to take this power into his own hands.
His gaze was no longer limited to the Mello Heaven in front of him, but was cast towards the vaster and more dangerous sea of stars.
He knew that a storm that would sweep across the entire universe was about to come.
And he must make himself strong enough before the storm comes, so that he can protect himself and even protect some people and things he wants to protect.
The genetic path, the divine body path, this will be the direction he will strive to explore and move forward in next.
Chapter 34: Cognitive Risk (Old Version)
And this road is destined to be full of unknowns and challenges.
But he was ready.
After failing to plunder the platinum-level entries and suffering a strong mental backlash, Zhang Qiu deeply realized the shortcomings of his own strength and the huge risks of plundering high-quality entries.
He shifted his main focus from directly plundering combat entries to studying and researching the core technologies of angel civilization, especially genetic technology and divine body technology.
He believes that only by fundamentally improving his life level and basic qualities can he lay a solid foundation for future development.
The library of Mello Heaven is undoubtedly the best place for him to acquire this knowledge.
With the permission of Holy Kesha, he was granted access to more non-core databases, which enabled him to access more valuable information on genetic engineering, divine body construction, energy application, etc.
He was like a greedy sponge, madly absorbing the cutting-edge knowledge from the god-level civilization.
Although a lot of the content was as obscure and difficult to understand as the Book of Heaven to him, he relied on his extraordinary perseverance and systematic auxiliary analysis ability to chew on one tough bone after another.
One day, Zhang Qiu was looking up ancient documents about early angel genes (tātuōwùer-evolution) and divine body iterations in a relatively remote research area of the library as usual.
This area is sparsely populated, and most of the information is unorganized raw data and early research reports, full of various professional terms and complex charts. Few angels come here.
Zhang Qiu, however, enjoyed reading these boring materials.
He knew that the more original the data was, the more it could reflect the most essential laws of things.
He hopes to find some useful inspiration from the exploration and trial and error of these early angels.
Just as he was concentrating on reading a report on “Analysis of Energy Circulation Defects of the First Generation Holy Body”, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye, appearing silently next to another bookshelf not far away.
Zhang Qiu’s heart trembled and he raised his head subconsciously.
I saw a female angel wearing a plain white research suit and with a gentle and intellectual temperament. She was standing there quietly, holding a transparent crystal data tablet in her hand, and searching for something on the bookshelf with a focused look.
Her appearance is extremely beautiful, completely different from the majestic holiness of Holy Kesha and the heroic and dashing appearance of Angel Yan.
Her beauty is more like an intellectual beauty as calm as water. There is a hint of scholarly air between her brows and her eyes are clear and deep, as if she can see through the essence of all things in the world.
Her long golden hair was casually tied behind her head with a simple hairpin, revealing her smooth, full forehead and elegant neck.
Although she did not emanate any powerful energy fluctuations, Zhang Qiu felt an indescribable sense of oppression from her.
That sense of oppression does not come from the intimidation of strength, but from the accumulation of wisdom and profound knowledge.
King of Tianji, He Xi!
Zhang Qiu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Although he had never seen He Xi in person, he had already heard of this top scientist in angel civilization and the controller of the space-based computing group from the information in the library and conversations with other angels.
He never thought that he would meet the legendary Tianji King He Xi here in such a way!
He Xi seemed to be completely immersed in his own research world and did not notice Zhang Qiu’s existence.
Her slender fingers slowly moved across the bookshelf, her eyes focused on searching for the information she needed.
Her movements were gentle and graceful, as if she was not searching for cold knowledge but caressing a precious work of art.
Zhang Qiu didn’t even dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing the thinking of this scientific research giant.
He knew that He Xi’s position in the angel civilization was second only to Holy Kesha, and that he was a true core leader.
If I could gain her favor or learn something from her, it would definitely be a great opportunity.
But he knew better that with his current status and strength, any deliberate approach and flattery in front of such a being might backfire and even cause the other party to be disgusted.
He just bowed slightly and respectfully towards He Xi’s back from a distance, then prepared to leave the research area quietly so as not to disturb her work.
Just as he turned around and was about to leave, He Xi’s voice, as clear and pleasant as spring water, suddenly rang out behind him:
“Although the redundant design of energy circulation can improve the stability of the system, it will also reduce the energy transmission efficiency to a certain extent.
How to find a perfect balance between the two is always a headache.”
He Xi’s voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was telling the air about the difficult problem he was thinking about.
Her eyes were still on the bookshelf, and she seemed not to notice Zhang Qiu’s existence.
Zhang Qiu’s footsteps stopped involuntarily.
Energy cycle redundancy? Stability? Transmission efficiency?
To ordinary people, these words may seem like incomprehensible scriptures.
But for Zhang Qiu, who has recently been studying the structure of divine bodies and the application of energy, these were like a few keys that instantly opened up some dusty knowledge in his mind.
Although he only understood half of what he heard and could not fully comprehend the profound meaning of He Xi’s words, the [Plunder Entry System] in his mind started to operate at high speed at this moment!
The system captured the key words that He Xi said inadvertently, and quickly combined them with the large amount of information Zhang Qiu had read in the library before about the structure of the divine body, energy circulation, and angel genes (tātuōwùer-evolution), and conducted in-depth analysis and deduction.
Soon, a series of analysis results that made Zhang Qiu’s heart beat faster appeared on the system interface:
“High-value scientific information fragments detected”
“Keyword analysis: energy cycle redundancy, system stability, energy transmission efficiency, balance point”
“Combining known database information to infer associations”
“Inference 1: The target may be thinking about the energy core design of the ‘next generation divine body’ or some new type of divine body.”
“Inference 2: This design may involve major improvements to the existing divine body energy circulation structure, aiming to enhance the overall performance of the divine body.
Chapter 35: Genetic Path (Old Version)
“Inference 3: This concept may still be in the stage of theoretical discussion and preliminary verification, and has not yet been fully formed.”
Seeing these analysis results, Zhang Qiu’s heart began to beat violently involuntarily.
Next generation divine body! New divine body! Divine body upgrade!
Each of these words was like a bombshell, exploding in his mind.
He knew that the angels’ divine bodies were one of the core sources of their power.
Every upgrade of the divine body means a huge leap in the overall strength of angel civilization.
If He Xi is really conceiving of some new type of divine body, or making major upgrades to the existing divine body, then this is definitely a major research project involving the core secrets of angel civilization!
And he unexpectedly, accidentally, got a glimpse of a corner of this shocking secret!
An irrepressible excitement and desire suddenly surged in Zhang Qiu’s heart.
A scientific research king like He Xi must have countless high-value scientific research entries about cutting-edge technology and future visions! If he could plunder even a little bit of relevant knowledge and inspiration from her, it would be of immeasurable benefit to his future development!
He didn’t dare to hope to plunder those already formed entries involving core technologies, because the risk was too great, almost tantamount to suicide.
However, if it is just some marginal, unformed, or even just a “fragment of concept” that He Xi unconsciously released during the thinking process, then the risk of plunder should be much smaller, right?
After all, He Xi was immersed in his own thinking at the moment, with his mental energy highly concentrated on that technical problem, so his perception of the outside world might be relatively slow.
Moreover, the strength of the soul imprint contained in an unformed “concept fragment” should not be too high.
Zhang Qiu knew that this was another high-risk gamble.
If he fails, not only might he expose the secret that he owns the system, he might even directly anger He Xi, the scientific research giant, and bring about a catastrophic disaster.
If he succeeds, he might be able to find a shortcut to strengthen himself or even build his own “divine body”!
“Give it a try!”
Zhang Qiu gritted his teeth, and a hint of madness and determination flashed in his eyes.
He quietly focused his thoughts and, like the stealthiest hunter, locked onto He Xi who was in deep thought.
He did not observe the core entries that were shining with terrifying light above He Xi’s head, because he knew that he could not afford to touch those entries at all.
His target was some faint, shapeless, star-like “fragments of ideas” that unconsciously emanated from the depths of He Xi’s soul when she was thinking about the technical problem.
These “concept fragments” are presented in a very special way on the system interface.
Unlike those solidified entries, they do not have clear names and levels, but are like clouds of energy that constantly change their shapes, emitting faint light and marked with various strange numbers and symbols.
Zhang Qiu knew that these were the scientific research inspirations and ideas that He Xi was thinking about at the moment and had not yet been fully formed.
He carefully screened these constantly flashing “fragments of ideas”, looking for targets with relatively low risks but relatively high values.
Soon, his eyes were fixed on one of the “concept fragments” that was emitting a faint golden light.
[Gold – Secondary Divine Body Conception (Fragment A13)]: Special/Conceptual entry.
When Tianji Wang Hexi was thinking about the design of a new type of secondary divine body energy core, a fragment of his idea of a specific technical node came into his mind.
It contains a small amount of key information about energy structure optimization and gene sequence adaptation.
(Note: This entry is a highly incomplete piece of information, and its value alone is limited. However, if it can be combined with other related concept fragments, it may be possible to deduce some core technologies.
Gold level! Although it is just a “fragment”, it is also gold level!
Zhang Qiu’s heart began beating faster again.
He took a look at his plunder points. After a period of accumulation and consumption, he only had 80 points left.
“System, how many plundering points are needed to plunder this [Gold – Secondary Divine Body Conception (Fragment A13)] entry? What is the success rate?”
Zhang Qiu asked nervously in his heart.
“Ding! Target entry level: Gold (fragment).
The target is much stronger than the host, and his mental power is highly concentrated, so it is extremely difficult to plunder him. “
“It is detected that the target is currently in a state of deep thinking. His perception of the outside world is slightly reduced, and the success rate of plundering has increased slightly.”
“Plunder: The basic cost of this entry is 100 plunder points.
Basic success rate: 3 percent.”
Three percent?!
Zhang Qiu’s heart sank again.
This success rate is even lower than when he plundered Yan’s flying skills before! Moreover, the plunder points required also exceed the number he currently has.
Are you going to give up again?
Just when he felt desperate, the system prompt sounded again:
“Ding! It is detected that the host has mastered the [Gold-Precision Repair] entry. This entry has a certain correlation with the target entry, which can slightly improve the analysis and affinity of scientific research concept fragments.”
“The host can choose to consume all 80 plundering points and overdraw some soul power to forcefully carry out this plundering.
The success rate is expected to increase to 15 percent.
But please note that if you overdraw your soul power to plunder, once you fail, it will cause irreversible and serious damage to the host’s soul! Please choose carefully!”
Fifteen percent success rate! Consume all plunder points and overdraw soul power! Failure will cause irreversible soul damage!
This price is really too high!
A fine layer of cold sweat oozed out of Zhang Qiu’s forehead.
He was torn between his conscience and his desires, and was hesitant.
On one hand, there is the possibility of obtaining valuable knowledge about the conception of the divine body, opening a new door for one’s future strengthening; on the other hand, there is an extremely high risk of failure and the possibility of a devastating blow.
How to choose?
Just when he was hesitating, he suddenly remembered the original intention of coming to this world.
He didn’t want to live a mediocre life like in his previous life.
Chapter 36: Encounter with He Xi (Old Version)
He longed for power, longed to change his destiny, and longed to leave his own mark in this magnificent universe!
And now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
If I miss this opportunity, it will be almost impossible to meet a scientific research king of He Xi’s level next time, especially when she is thinking about key technical problems!
“How many chances do you have to fight in your life? If you don’t fight now, when will you fight?”
There was a flash of crazy determination in Zhang Qiu’s eyes.
“System, I choose to consume all plundering points, overdraw soul power, and plunder!”
In his mind, he used all his strength to issue this command.
“Ding! Confirmed to consume 80 plundering points and overdraw some soul power to plunder the [Gold – Secondary Divine Body Concept (Fragment A13)] entry. Current success rate: 15%.
The plunder begins! Please prepare yourself for the soul shock! “
The moment the system prompt sounded, a suction force more terrifying than any previous one erupted from the depths of Zhang Qiu’s soul! This suction force seemed to drain his entire soul, making him feel dizzy and weak.
At the same time, an invisible thought full of desire and greed, like the most cunning poisonous snake, quietly reached out to He Xi who was in deep thought, and aimed directly at the [Clip A13] emitting a faint golden light in her mind!
He Xi, who was concentrating on thinking about technical problems, suddenly frowned slightly.
She felt that her thoughts seemed to have froze for a moment.
It was as if an invisible hand was trying to steal the moment of inspiration that had just occurred to her from her mind.
This feeling is very subtle and very strange.
But He Xi is the King of Space-Base after all, a scientific research giant who controls the space-based computing group. Her mental power and perception ability are far beyond the reach of ordinary angels.
She immediately realized something was wrong!
However, just as she was about to wake up from her deep thinking state and prepare to investigate the source of this abnormal prying intention, Zhang Qiu’s plunder had been completed!
“Ding! The plunder was successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the [Gold – Secondary Divine Body Concept (Fragment A13)] entry!”
“Warning! The host’s soul power is seriously overdrawn, and his mental strength has dropped significantly. Please replenish your energy as soon as possible to repair the damage to your soul!”
The system prompt sounded in Zhang Qiu’s mind, bringing both the joy of success and the warning of being on the verge of limit.
Zhang Qiu felt a black screen before his eyes, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.
He felt as if his soul had been hollowed out and was extremely weak.
The exhaustion and emptiness that came from deep within his soul almost made him lose consciousness.
But he still endured the extreme feeling of weakness, used up the last bit of his strength to steady his body, and forced his face to make an expression as natural as possible.
He knew that he must not show any abnormality now, otherwise, if He Xi found out, the consequences would be disastrous.
At this time, He Xi had also recovered from that brief state of mental stagnation.
A hint of confusion and vigilance flashed in her clear and deep eyes.
She subconsciously turned her head and glanced in the direction where the prying intent came from.
She saw Zhang Qiu standing not far away.
Zhang Qiu was lowering his head at this moment, seemingly sorting out the documents in his hands, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and there didn’t seem to be anything unusual.
He Xi’s brows furrowed slightly.
Is it an illusion?
She had just clearly felt that there was a faint but targeted intention that was spying on her thoughts.
Moreover, that thought seemed to come from this direction.
But how could this alien visitor, whose energy fluctuations were so weak, have such a strange ability to spy? Moreover, he did not look like he was capable of doing such a thing.
He Xi’s heart was full of doubts.
She looked at Zhang Qiu carefully for a moment, but did not find anything suspicious about him.
In the end, she attributed the strange feeling she had just had to the mental illusion caused by the excessive pressure of research recently.
She shook her head gently, without thinking any more, turned away and immersed herself in her own thoughts.
After a while, she seemed to have found the information she needed, so she took the crystal data tablet and quietly left the research area.
Looking at He Xi’s departing back, Zhang Qiucai finally couldn’t hold on any longer. His body softened and he leaned against the bookshelf behind him, gasping for breath.
His face was as pale as a piece of white paper, without a trace of blood.
His lips were trembling slightly due to blood loss and weakness.
His entire body was shaking slightly uncontrollably.
“Success. I actually succeeded.” Zhang Qiu struggled to raise the corners of his mouth into a weak smile.
Although he paid a heavy price, he also received unimaginable rewards!
[Gold – Secondary Divine Body Concept (Fragment A13)]!
Although this is only a very small fragment, the amount of information contained in it far exceeds Zhang Qiu’s imagination.
When he immersed his consciousness into this newly acquired entry, countless concepts about energy structure optimization, gene sequence adaptation, and a certain kind of angel body construction that was completely different from the current angel body, flooded into his mind like a tide.
This information was profound and complex, filled with various theories and formulas that he had never been exposed to.
But he could miraculously understand part of its meaning, as if this knowledge was originally stored deep in his soul.
This made his understanding of the divine body leap from the previous purely theoretical level to a new stage where he could carry out preliminary practical cognition!
It was as if he had opened a door to a new world and saw another path full of infinite possibilities, which was to strengthen himself and even surpass his existing life form!
Although his current physical condition is very bad and his soul has been severely damaged, he believes that as long as he is given enough time, he will be able to thoroughly digest and absorb the knowledge in this [Fragment of the Divine Body Concept] and transform it into his real power!
In the next few days, Zhang Qiu has been quietly recuperating his body and soul.
He used the energy-rich food and liquids provided by Tiancheng, as well as his own [Bronze – Angel Physique (Weak)], to work hard to repair the damage caused by overdrawing soul power.
Chapter 37 Conception of Divine Body (Old Version)
At the same time, he also began to use some basic experimental equipment provided by Tiancheng (he applied to the maintenance angel of the library in the name of learning and researching genetic engineering), combined with the two powerful scientific research entries he had just plundered, [Gold-Precision Repair] and [Gold-Secondary Divine Body Concept (Fragment A13)], as well as some public knowledge about biochemistry and energetics obtained from the library, and began to secretly conduct some enhanced experiments on himself at the microscopic level.
He knew that with his current knowledge and experimental conditions, it would be nothing but a pipe dream to directly construct that new type of secondary divine body.
But he can start from the most basic level, little by little, to optimize and transform his existing “mortal body”.
He carefully used those simple experimental equipment to extract and analyze cell samples from his body.
Then, based on some ideas about energy structure optimization provided in [Concept of Secondary Divine Body (Fragment A13)], try to adjust the efficiency of your own cells in absorbing external energy.
He also tried to strengthen the energy output of the mitochondria in his cells, hoping to give himself more energy and a faster recovery rate.
This process is full of unknowns and risks.
Every experiment is like walking on a tightrope. If you are not careful, you may cause irreparable damage to your body.
Moreover, this transformation at the micro level also brought him unimaginable pain.
Every adjustment of the cell structure and every reshaping of the energy circuit would cause his body to suffer excruciating pain as if being pierced by countless steel needles.
But he gritted his teeth and managed to get through it with his strong willpower.
Because he knew that if he wanted to become stronger, he had to pay a price!
What made him even more gratified was that his efforts were not in vain.
Although the process is very painful and slow, the effects are indeed showing up little by little.
He could clearly feel that his physical condition was continuously improving at a very slow but very steady pace.
His power is growing little by little.
His speed is getting faster and faster.
His endurance is improving little by little.
He even felt that his ability to perceive and control energy had improved slightly compared to before.
Although this improvement is still insignificant compared to those real angels.
But for him, it was a breakthrough and leap again and again.
He knew that he was on the right path and was moving forward steadily.
And the end of this road may be what he has always dreamed of, the true power!
Zhang Qiu’s days in the Merlo Heavenly Palace were not all smooth sailing.
Although he gradually gained the recognition and trust of some angels by his “wisdom” and “hard work”, and even attracted the attention of Holy Kesha and Tianji King Hexi, not all angels had a good impression of him as an “outsider”.
Among the younger generation of elite guardian angels, there was a female angel named “Leng”, who showed undisguised vigilance and disdain towards Zhang Qiu.
Angel Leng is a rising star in the Melo Heaven.
Although she is very young, she already possesses the strength of the peak of the third level and is a leader among the younger generation of guardian angels.
She is proud and strong-willed, and has an almost obsessive obsession with the glory of angels and the just order.
She fights bravely and fearlessly, and is one of the most loyal guards of Holy Kesha.
In Leng’s opinion, Zhang Qiu, this “visitor from another world” of unknown origin, is not only weak, but also slick and good at taking advantage of others.
He could actually enjoy such preferential treatment in the Melo Heaven and even get the attention of Queen Kesha and God Yan. This was simply a stain on the glory of angels!
She firmly believed that Zhang Qiu must be hiding some unspeakable secret, and that he must have some ill intentions in staying in the Melo Heaven.
Therefore, Leng mocked Zhang Qiu more than once in public or in private, and his words were full of disdain and contempt.
She even tried to provoke Zhang Qiu, wanting to anger him and make him reveal his true colors, so that she could find an excuse to expel him from the Mello Heaven.
“Humph, a land reptile without even wings is qualified to give orders in the sacred Merlo Heaven?”
This is a phrase that Leng often said when he saw Zhang Qiu “instructing” the angel apprentices on fighting techniques on the training ground.
“Some people, don’t think that you can gain the respect of angels by being a little clever.
True glory is earned through blood and fighting!”
This was what Leng publicly said at a rally after he learned that Zhang Qiu had repaired the sophisticated scanning equipment.
Facing Tian Shi Leng’s constant targeting and making things difficult for him, Zhang Qiu always remained restrained and polite on the surface, and even showed some “cowardly” concessions at times.
He knew that he was far from being Leng’s opponent at the moment.
Leng is an elite guardian angel at the peak of the third level. He is far superior to him in both strength and combat experience.
If you confront her head-on, you will only bring humiliation upon yourself and may even cause greater trouble.
So, he chose to endure.
But forbearance does not mean cowardice.
Zhang Qiujiang Leng silently remembered every ridicule and provocation against him.
He knew that this proud and powerful female angel would sooner or later become a stumbling block on his way forward.
He began to observe Angel Leng carefully in the dark.
He analyzed her behavior patterns, her personality traits, her fighting style, and any high-value items she might have.
He discovered that although Angel Leng had an arrogant and strong character, he was not a reckless and brainless person.
Her fighting style is bold and powerful, but also contains some subtle techniques.
She has an almost fanatical loyalty and worship for the Holy Kesha. In order to protect Kesha and the Mello Heaven, she can give her life without hesitation.
Through systematic investigation, Zhang Qiu also discovered that in addition to the regular combat entries on Angel Leng, there was also a very special entry that emitted a dazzling golden light:
[Gold – Burning Heart Guardian (Passive Defense Skill)]: Special/Passive item.
The strong obsession of protection formed by long-term protection of an important target (Holy Kesha) enables it to instinctively stimulate stronger defensive potential when itself or the protected target is attacked, and master a variety of sophisticated passive defense and blocking and counterattack techniques.
Chapter 38 Scientific Research Looting (Old Version)
This entry also has a certain resistance effect against mental attacks and soul shocks.
This entry made Zhang Qiu’s eyes light up.
[Heart-burning Guardian]! This is not only a powerful defensive item, but also a manifestation of faith and will! If he can plunder this item, it will not only greatly improve his defense and survival capabilities, but also allow him to better understand the guardian spirit of angels.
Moreover, this entry is “passive”, which means that it is more likely to be successfully plundered when the target is under high mental stress or emotional fluctuations.
In Zhang Qiu’s heart, he began to quietly brew a plan against Angel Leng.
He knew that it would be no easy task to plunder this special gold-level entry.
He had to wait for the right opportunity, a perfect opportunity that would make Leng extremely nervous and lose his mind.
And this opportunity seems to be coming soon.
In order to cope with the increasingly severe cosmic situation and the possible outbreak of interstellar wars (such as the invasion of the Taotie civilization and the stirrings of the demon civilization), the Mello Celestial Court decided to organize a large-scale simulated confrontation exercise against the demon projections.
The scale of this exercise far exceeds any previous one.
Not only must all angel apprentices participate, but many experienced elite guardian angels have also been incorporated into various combat teams to serve as commanders or core combatants.
The battlefield of the exercise was set in a virtual space simulated by a space-based computing group, which was highly similar to the real demon battlefield environment.
The battlefield is filled with various demon projections made of energy. They have similar attack methods and combat capabilities as real demons. There are even some powerful demon lord-level projections whose strength is comparable to that of fourth-level angels.
The purpose of the exercise is to allow the angels to adapt to the rhythm and method of fighting against demons in advance, to test their tactical qualities and adaptability, and to find out their possible defects and shortcomings in combat, so that they can more effectively eliminate the enemy and protect themselves in future real wars.
Angel Leng, as one of the best among the younger generation of elite guardian angels, naturally also participated in this large-scale simulated confrontation exercise.
She was appointed as the commander of an elite assault team, responsible for carrying out some difficult infiltration and raid missions on the battlefield.
After the exercise began, Angel Leng lived up to everyone’s expectations and performed exceptionally bravely and outstandingly.
She led her team and, like a sharp knife, plunged fiercely into the line of demon projections.
Wherever they passed, the low-level demon projections were torn into pieces. Even some of the stronger demon elite projections could not withstand their fierce offensive.
Leng’s fighting style is just like her name, cold and deadly.
The flaming sword in her hand, every time she swung it, carried with it the aura of destruction.
Her eyes were firm and persistent, filled with hatred for the devil and belief in justice.
However, being too brave is sometimes not a good thing.
During a pursuit of a scattered demon projection, Angel Leng gradually became disconnected from the main force because he went too deep.
When she reacted, she found that she and her team had unknowingly entered an unknown area shrouded in thick fog.
And at this moment, something strange happened!
In the thick fog, a pair of scarlet and bloodthirsty eyes suddenly lit up! Then, several tall and powerful demon projections with terrifying auras emerged from all directions, surrounding Angel Leng and her team!
Each of these demonic projections possessed strength comparable to that of a peak third-order or even a fourth-order primary angel! They exuded a strong smell of dark energy and sulfur, wielded a variety of hideous and deadly weapons, and emitted waves of creepy roars.
The situation was once very critical!
Although Angel Leng was powerful and fought bravely, she and her team were instantly caught in a tough battle when faced with the siege of several demon projections of the same or even higher levels.
Their formation was quickly broken up.
The team members fought on their own and were in danger all the time.
The sounds of energy explosions, the collision of weapons, the cries of angels, and the roars of demons intertwined in the thick fog, forming a tragic and heroic battle picture.
Angel Leng vigorously waved the flaming sword in his hand, trying to break through the encirclement of the demon projection.
But those demonic projections were like maggots on their tarsus, entangled them tightly and did not give them any chance to breathe.
Her team members also began to suffer casualties one after another (in the simulation exercise, angels who were judged to be “killed” would automatically withdraw from the battlefield).
Angel Leng clenched his teeth, his heart filled with anxiety and anger.
She knew that if they didn’t find a way to break out, their team would probably be wiped out here.
She tried to send out a distress signal to other angel teams, but due to the long distance and the fact that most of the other teams were pinned down by their respective enemies, it was difficult for them to arrive to the rescue in the first time.
A feeling of despair began to spread in Angel Leng’s heart.
Am I going to “sacrifice” here today?
Just when Angel Leng was about to be hit by the claws of a powerful Demon Lord-level projection and faced the danger of being “severely injured” or even “killed”, the abnormality reappeared!
A burst of dense energy beams suddenly whizzed in from the edge of the thick fog, like a rainstorm, fiercely shooting towards the demon projections that were besieging Angel Leng!
Those demon projections were caught off guard and were hit by the energy beams one after another. They let out painful roars and their offensive was halted.
Immediately afterwards, a team with slightly simple equipment but extremely fast and tacit actions rushed out of the thick fog and joined the battle!
Most of the members of this team are low-level angels with strength of only level one or level two, and there are even a few civilian angels who look like researchers.
The weapons in their hands were not standard energy spears or flaming swords, but some that looked like modified energy transmitters or data acquisition devices.
This “shabby”-looking team is precisely the “battlefield support team” temporarily commanded by Zhang Qiu.
Their original mission was to collect various combat data on the edge of the battlefield, provide support for subsequent tactical analysis and equipment improvements, and be responsible for some simple logistical support work.
Chapter 39 Preliminary Understanding (Old Version)
Logically speaking, they shouldn’t be in such a dangerous war zone.
However, Zhang Qiu, in the name of “in order to more comprehensively collect data in high-intensity combat environments, evaluate the actual combat effectiveness of new auxiliary equipment, and protect precious research results from being destroyed by demon projections”, persuaded the team members to bring them to this area that “happened” to be close to the place where Angel Leng was in danger.
Of course, his real purpose was to be a hero and save the beauty. No, it was to create an opportunity to get close to Angel Leng and try to plunder her of the top-quality item [Gold – Burning Heart Guardian] when she was in a state of high mental tension!
“Captain Leng, we’re here to support you!”
Zhang Qiu’s voice was clearly transmitted to Angel Leng’s ears through the team’s internal communication channel.
When Angel Leng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
Zhang Qiu? Why is this guy here? Moreover, he brought a group of assistants who looked like “old, weak, sick and disabled”? Are they here to die?
But she no longer had time to think about these questions.
Because after a brief period of confusion, those demonic projections pounced on her again.
“Attention all personnel! Free fire! Suppress enemy fire! Cover Captain Leng’s breakout!”
Although Zhang Qiu’s voice still sounded a little immature, it carried an unquestionable calmness and decisiveness.
He did not order his team members to rush forward and fight those powerful demon projections head-on, because he knew that it would be like hitting a rock with an egg.
He commanded the team members to use the modified energy launchers in their hands to carry out long-range fire suppression.
Although these energy launchers are not as powerful as standard weapons, they have the advantage of fast firing speed and some special interference effects, which can effectively disrupt the attack rhythm of the demon projections.
At the same time, he also commanded the angels who looked like researchers to activate some special battlefield auxiliary equipment they carried.
Some of these devices can release strong interfering electromagnetic waves to affect the perception ability of the demon projection; some can project realistic phantoms to confuse the enemy’s vision; and others can quickly analyze battlefield data and provide Zhang Qiu with accurate tactical advice.
However, Zhang Qiu himself did not hide behind the team to give orders.
He took a deep breath, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
He knew that his chance had come!
He did not directly participate in the frontal battle because he knew that with his current strength, he would not be able to play much of a role on such a battlefield.
Relying on the agility brought by [Silver – Basic Fighting Skills] and the physical support provided by [Bronze – Angelic Constitution (Weak)], coupled with his accurate judgment of the battlefield terrain and perfect grasp of timing, he quickly shuttled through the chaotic battlefield like a ghost.
His target was not those powerful demon projections, but Angel Leng!
What he had to do was not to defeat the enemy, but to “assist” Angel Leng and resolve the fatal crisis she was facing. In the process, he had to get as close to her as possible to create the best conditions for the next plundering operation!
“Captain Leng, be careful behind your left!”
“Captain Leng, the demon lord is about to launch a range attack, quickly dodge to the right!”
“Captain Leng, the energy core of the demon projection in front of you is below the right ribs, attack there!”
Zhang Qiu’s voice kept ringing in Tian Shi Leng’s ears.
Each of his reminders was just right, as if he could predict the future, and he could always help Angel Leng resolve fatal attacks time and time again at the most critical moment.
Angel Leng was somewhat dismissive of Zhang Qiu’s reminder at first, but gradually, she found that this guy’s judgment was surprisingly accurate! Several times, if she hadn’t listened to his reminder, she might have been “killed”.
The surprise and confusion in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
Why did this alien who usually looked a little “weak” and “cowardly” show such amazing fighting wisdom and courage in such a dangerous battlefield? Where did his accurate judgment come from?
She could only subconsciously begin to obey Zhang Qiu’s instructions and reminders and deal with those demonic projections.
With Zhang Qiu’s “precise assistance” and “battlefield data support”, Angel Leng gradually stabilized his position and began to organize an effective counterattack.
Under Zhang Qiu’s guidance, the flaming sword in her hand accurately attacked the vital points and flaws of the demon projection every time.
Those demon projections that originally seemed extremely powerful began to become vulnerable in front of her.
Zhang Qiu also took advantage of this opportunity to get closer to Angel Leng, and when she was extremely nervous and excited, he quietly activated the [Plunder Entry System]!
His target was the [Gold – Burning Heart Guardian (Passive Defense Skill)] entry on Angel Leng’s body that emitted a dazzling golden light!
This time, he learned from the failure of plundering Arya’s [Platinum-Battle Intuition] last time.
He did not invest all his plundering points at the beginning, but instead carried out small-scale tentative plundering, constantly eroding the item’s protective power and Leng’s willpower.
At the same time, he also took advantage of the chaos and crisis on the battlefield to constantly create “surprises” and “stimulations” for Leng, keeping her brain in a state of high excitement and tension, thereby reducing her sensitivity to abnormal perceptions of the outside world.
This process is full of thrills and excitement.
Zhang Qiu felt like he was dancing on the edge of a knife. If he was not careful, he would be doomed.
Several times, he was almost affected by the attacks of the demon projection, but fortunately he reacted quickly and managed to escape narrowly.
And Angel Leng seemed to be completely unaware of Zhang Qiu’s little action.
At this moment, she was immersed in a fierce battle with the demon projection, and all her mind was focused on how to eliminate the enemy in front of her and how to protect her teammates.
Finally, when Angel Leng successfully defeated a powerful demon lord-level projection and his mind was briefly relaxed due to excessive excitement, Zhang Qiu seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
He put all his remaining plundering points, as well as a portion of his newly recovered soul power, into the plundering with all his might!
Chapter 40 Micro-enhancement (Old Edition)
“Ding! Detected that the target is in a state of high tension and has temporarily relaxed, and his willpower is fluctuating! The success rate of plundering has been greatly improved!”
“Plundering successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the [Gold – Heartburning Guardian (Passive Defense Skill)] entry!”
The moment the system prompt sounded, Zhang Qiu felt a powerful and exquisite skill and belief about protection and defense, like an epiphany, flooding into his mind and the depths of his soul!
He felt that in an instant, he had mastered countless instinctive reactions and combat skills to protect himself and others in critical moments! His body seemed to have an invisible layer of tough armor, which could better resist external attacks and injuries!
Success! Another gold-level entry is obtained!
Zhang Qiu’s heart was filled with indescribable ecstasy and excitement.
At the same time as he successfully plundered the entry, the situation on the battlefield also reversed.
Under Zhang Qiu’s “god-level assistance” and “precise command”, Angel Leng and her remaining team members finally succeeded in defeating all the demon projections that surrounded them and fought their way out of despair!
When the last demon projection was reduced to ashes by Angel Leng’s flaming sword, the entire battlefield fell into a brief silence.
The angel leaned on the flaming sword in his hand, breathing heavily.
Her body was covered with the black blood (energy simulated) of the demon’s projection, and her face looked a bit tired and dishevelled.
But her eyes were still bright and sharp, filled with gratitude for surviving the disaster and a hint of disbelief.
She turned her head and looked at the alien visitor not far away, Zhang Qiu, who also looked a little embarrassed but had an unusually calm expression.
She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she only let out a complex hum.
She still didn’t understand how this guy did it.
After being “rescued” by Zhang Qiu, Tian Shi Leng’s mood was undoubtedly complicated.
On the one hand, her vigilance and disdain towards Zhang Qiu, a “visitor from another world”, were still deeply rooted.
She didn’t believe that an “ordinary human” could display such amazing combat wisdom and courage on such a dangerous battlefield.
She even suspected that all this was a conspiracy designed by Zhang Qiu in advance, with the purpose of getting close to her or winning the favor of Angel.
But on the other hand, she had to admit that if Zhang Qiu and his “auxiliary team” had not appeared in time and provided such precise and effective support, she and her teammates would probably have been “killed” in the thick fog.
The life-saving grace must be repaid.
This is one of the angels’ creeds.
So, when Zhang Qiu walked up to her with a “just right” look of concern and fatigue on his face, and asked her if she was injured, although Tian Shi Leng was still stubborn and did not say a word of thanks, the undisguised hostility in her eyes when she looked at Zhang Qiu had diminished a lot, and was replaced by a more complicated and confusing emotion.
“I’m fine.”
Angel Leng’s voice was still cold and stiff, but it was much softer than the previous tone full of ridicule and disdain. “But you, a land reptile without even wings, actually dared to come to a place like this to die?”
Zhang Qiu didn’t get angry when he heard this. Instead, he showed a simple and shy smile, scratched his head and said, “Captain Leng, you are too kind.
I just happened to pass by and saw that you were in danger, so I thought I could help as much as I could.
After all, we are now companions fighting side by side, right?”
He showed at the right time that he “just did what he should do”, did not take credit for himself, and did not make any demands.
This humble and low-key attitude actually slightly changed Angel Leng’s impression of him.
“Humph, who would be your companion?”
Angel Leng still refuted stubbornly, but her eyes softened unconsciously, “But you are lucky this time.
If you dare to be so reckless next time, you won’t be so lucky! “
After saying that, she no longer paid attention to Zhang Qiu, turned around to count the casualties of her team, and prepared to report the results of the battle to her superiors.
Looking at the departing figure of Tian Shi Leng, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Qiu’s mouth.
He knew that his adventure was successful again.
Although Tian Shi Leng’s vigilance towards him has not been completely eliminated, at least the relationship between them is no longer as tense as before.
And he also successfully plundered a gold-level entry that was crucial to him from this proud and powerful female angel.
[Gold – Burning Heart Guardian (Passive Defense Skill)]!
This entry not only greatly improved his ability to survive, but more importantly, the powerful belief and will it contained for the sake of protection also deeply touched Zhang Qiu’s soul.
He felt that he had a deeper understanding of the word “protection”.
And this understanding may burst out with unimaginable power at some critical moment in the future.
Of course, Zhang Qiu also knew that the relationship between him and Angel Leng was far from trustworthy.
He knew that this proud female angel was still suspicious of him and wary of him.
He must be more careful and cautious in order to continue to survive and grow stronger in the crisis-ridden environment of Mello Heaven.
And what kind of challenges and opportunities will he encounter next time?
Nobody knows.
But Zhang Qiu knew that he would keep going until he achieved the goal in his heart.
For Zhang Qiu, the days in Melo Heaven were undoubtedly a valuable experience full of adventures and growth.
He gradually grew from a “visitor from another world” who had just arrived and knew nothing about this world to an “observer” who had some self-protection ability and had a certain understanding of angel civilization and the known universe.
He successfully plundered a series of crucial items for him, including [Silver – Basic Combat Skills], [Bronze – Angel Constitution (Weak)], [Silver – Angel Flying Skills (Beginner)], [Gold – Precision Repair], and [Gold – Burning Heart Guardian (Passive Defense Skills)].
These entries not only significantly improved his physical fitness, but also enabled him to master some basic skills necessary to survive in this world.
Chapter 41 Angel’s Thorn (Old Version)
Through study and research, he also gained a preliminary understanding of the angel civilization’s genetic technology, divine body technology, energy application, and tactical command.
Although this knowledge was still superficial, it pointed out the direction for his future development.
More importantly, through his “wisdom” and “hard work”, he gradually gained the recognition and trust of some angels, and even attracted the attention of the two highest leaders of the angel civilization, Holy Kesha and Tianji Wang Hexi.
This provided great convenience and protection for his activities in the Melo Heaven.
However, as time went by, Zhang Qiu gradually felt that his improvement in strength had begun to encounter an insurmountable bottleneck.
The low-level angels in the Melo Heaven, such as angel apprentices, ordinary guardian angels, etc., have entries that are mostly bronze or silver level, and the types are relatively simple, mainly focusing on basic combat, flying skills, energy weapon mastery and other aspects.
These entries were indeed very valuable to Zhang Qiu in his early days.
However, as his own strength improved and he mastered these basic skills, these low-level entries were no longer of much use to him and could hardly bring about any substantial improvement.
As for those high-level angels, such as elite guardian angels, angel instructors, and even top existences like Angel Yan, Sky-Base King Hexi, and Holy Kesha, the entries they possess are undoubtedly extremely powerful and precious, with gold-level, platinum-level, and even king-level entries everywhere.
However, the difficulty and risk of trying to plunder entries from them are also unimaginable.
Zhang Qiu’s previous experience of failing to plunder Arya’s [Platinum – Battle Instinct] and suffering a strong mental backlash, as well as the thrilling experience of walking on thin ice and almost being exposed in front of He Xi, made him deeply realize that plundering high-quality entries is by no means easy.
Not only does it require the coordination of multiple factors such as the target’s own strength, willpower, mental state, etc., but more importantly, his own basic strength, as well as the level and authority of the system, seem to have become a huge limitation.
His current strength is still far behind those high-level angels.
It is almost impossible to successfully plunder those powerful items from them without them realizing it.
Moreover, after all, the Melo Heaven is the base camp of the angel civilization, with strict security and many powerful people.
His every move here may be monitored.
If he frequently tried to plunder the entries of high-level angels, the consequences would be disastrous once he was exposed.
Zhang Qiu realized that although the Melo Heaven was a treasure trove of opportunities and knowledge, it did not seem to be an ideal “hunting ground” for his model that required rapid growth by constantly “harvesting” entries.
He needs a wider world, more different types of “prey”, and a more complex and chaotic environment in order to better leverage the advantages of the [Plunder Entry System] and achieve a rapid breakthrough in his own strength.
His gaze began to involuntarily turn toward the depths of the distant starry sky, toward the blue civilized planet that was full of legends in his memories of his previous life – the Earth.
According to the information he had read from the library and his vague understanding of certain “plots” in his previous life, the Earth will become the core battlefield for the confrontation between the major forces in the entire universe in the near future.
The invasion of the Taotie civilization, the advent of the demon queen Morgana, the conspiracy of Carl, the god of death in the Styx galaxy, and the coveting of various crises by other cosmic forces hidden in the dark will all take turns on this seemingly inconspicuous blue planet.
There, it is full of war, chaos, and death, but it is also full of opportunities, challenges, and endless possibilities!
More importantly, the Earth is also the birthplace of the legendary “protagonist group” – the Xiongbinglian!
Those “protagonists” who are entrusted with “destiny” and possess various powerful super genes, such as Ge Xiaolun who possesses the “power of the galaxy”, Liu Chuang who possesses the “God of War of No Star”, Lena who possesses the “light of the sun”, etc., in Zhang Qiu’s view, are simply walking, undeveloped, and highest quality “entry mines”!
The super genes in them that have not yet awakened or have just awakened have such huge potential and high value that they are probably far beyond the reach of the entries for ordinary angels in the Melo Heaven.
If he could snatch some key super gene entries from them, how drastically would his strength change?
Thinking of this, Zhang Qiu’s heart was filled with irrepressible excitement and desire.
The Earth, that is the “hunting ground” he should really go to! That is the key for him to realize his own strength leap and even change his future destiny!
Of course, Zhang Qiu also knew that traveling to Earth was also full of huge risks.
With his current strength, he might not even be cannon fodder in the future battlefield where gods fight each other.
If you are not careful, you may be caught up in the aftermath of a major event and die inexplicably.
Moreover, although the “protagonists” on Earth are still very weak now, they are, after all, beings with “destiny” and must have various variables and trump cards hidden in them.
It is not easy to snatch entries from them.
But risks and opportunities often coexist.
Zhang Qiu believed that as long as he planned carefully and acted cautiously, relying on the advantages of the [Plunder Entry System] and his vague understanding of the future “plot”, he would be able to find his own opportunities and achieve his goals in the chaotic battlefield on Earth.
After making up his mind, Zhang Qiu began to make careful preparations to leave Melo Heaven and go to Earth.
He knew that it was not an easy task to leave Mello Heaven.
After all, he is a “visitor from another world” of unknown origin. Although he has temporarily obtained Kesha’s tacit consent and can move freely in Sky City, if he wants to leave Sky City and go to the depths of the distant universe, he will definitely need approval from a higher level.
It is obviously unrealistic to make this request directly to Holy Kesha.
Kesha is very busy and would not easily meet with an unknown person like him.
Moreover, with Kesha’s intelligence, it was easy for her to see through his immature thoughts.
Chapter 42: Forbearance and Conspiracy (Old Version)
Then, the best breakthrough point is naturally Angel Yan.
As Kesha’s most trusted left-wing guard, Yan is not only powerful and respected, but also has had several “in-depth” contacts with Zhang Qiu.
Zhang Qiu believed that as long as he could find a reasonable reason and show enough sincerity, the possibility of convincing Yan was relatively high.
So Zhang Qiu began to carefully plan his speech.
He knew that simply saying that he wanted to go to Earth to “harvest leeks” would definitely not work.
He must embellish his purpose in a high-sounding manner and cleverly link it with the interests of angel civilization.
A few days later, Zhang Qiu found a suitable opportunity and took the initiative to ask for a meeting with Tian Shi Yan.
In Yan’s office, which was full of heroic spirit, Zhang Qiu bowed respectfully to Yan, and then spoke in a tone full of “curiosity” and “sense of mission”:
“Sir, I’m sorry to bother you. Zhang Qiu has something to ask of me. I hope you can grant my permission.”
Yan was looking down at a report on the border star region patrol. When she heard Zhang Qiu’s voice, she looked up and looked at him calmly, and asked, “Oh? What’s the matter?”
“God Yan Shang, it is like this.”
Zhang Qiu took a deep breath and began his carefully prepared performance, “Since I came to the Melo Heaven, I have deeply felt the greatness and nobility of angel civilization, and I have also benefited a lot from the vast knowledge of the library.
My understanding of the universe has also changed from its previous shallow ignorance to a slightly more outlined one.”
“However, I gradually realized that it is far from enough to just stay at the level of theoretical learning.
I hope to have the opportunity to travel in the universe, see the different forms of civilization with my own eyes, and experience the vastness and complexity of the universe firsthand. “
“Especially,” Zhang Qiu changed the subject and led the conversation to his real purpose, “I hope to have the opportunity to observe and learn about those planets that are in the ‘post-nuclear civilization’ stage.
For example, the blue civilized planet called ‘Earth’ that we have seen in the data before.”
“As far as I know, most of these ‘post-nuclear civilizations’ have just mastered nuclear weapons and are about to enter the space age, but at the same time they are also facing various internal conflicts and external crises.
They are like young shoots that have just broken through the soil, full of vitality and vigor, yet extremely fragile and confused. “
“I want to see with my own eyes how these civilizations develop themselves in the face of challenges and how they seek breakthroughs in crises.
I want to learn from their indomitable and adventurous spirit.
I believe that these valuable experiences will be of great significance for understanding the diversity of life and the complexity of the universe.”
“Moreover,” Zhang Qiu’s tone became more “sincere” and “earnest,” “If I can gain some valuable insights and inspirations from these travels and studies, I will definitely contribute them to the Melo Heaven without reservation.
I hope that in this way, I can contribute my humble strength as a visitor from another world to the great cause of angel civilization.”
He cleverly disguised his true purpose of leaving the Merlo Celestial Palace and going to Earth as a noble desire to “better understand life and the universe so that he can contribute to angel civilization in the future.”
He believed that such words should be able to impress Angel Yan.
Yan listened quietly to Zhang Qiu’s “impassioned speech”, with no obvious expression on his face.
Her sharp eyes seemed to be able to see into people’s hearts. They scanned back and forth on Zhang Qiu’s face, as if judging the truthfulness of his words.
Zhang Qiu felt a little uneasy.
He didn’t know whether his performance could successfully deceive this shrewd and capable left-wing guard.
After a long while, Yancai slowly said: “Your idea is quite novel.”
From her tone, it was hard to tell whether she agreed or disagreed.
“You want to go to Earth?”
Yan asked.
“Yes, God Yan.”
Zhang Qiu nodded quickly and said, “The Earth is just one of my initial goals.
If possible, I also hope to visit more similar ‘post-nuclear civilization’ planets for observation and study.”
Yan pondered for a moment and said, “Your request is a bit sudden.
Moreover, the universe is full of unknowns and dangers. With your current strength, traveling alone in the universe would be very dangerous.”
“Please rest assured, Lord Yan!”
Zhang Qiu immediately patted his chest and assured, “I will definitely act carefully and within my ability, and will never take risks lightly.
Moreover, I don’t want to participate in any battles. I just want to be an observer and learner, to feel and record the development of those civilizations.”
“Moreover,” he changed the subject and added, “If I really encounter some unsolvable dangers during my travels, I will definitely ask for help from the Melo Heavenly Court as soon as possible.
I believe that the great angelic civilization will not stand by and watch a devout learner die.”
He cleverly left himself a way out.
Yan looked at Zhang Qiu’s “sincere” and “earnest” appearance, and a complex light flashed in his eyes.
She had to admit that Zhang Qiu’s reason did sound very plausible, and there were no obvious flaws in it.
Moreover, considering Zhang Qiu’s good performance during his time in the Melo Heavenly Palace, as well as his sufficient “loyalty” and “enthusiasm for learning” towards the angel civilization, there seems to be no reason to reject his “reasonable” request.
More importantly, Yan actually felt a little curious about Zhang Qiu, this “interesting variable”.
She also wanted to see what kind of waves this individual from an unknown civilization would create in the vast and more dangerous universe, or what valuable information he could bring back after leaving the protection of the Mello Celestial Palace.
“Okay,” Yan finally nodded and said, “I will report your request to Queen Kesha.
As for whether it will be finally approved, it will depend on the decision of Her Majesty the Queen.”
“Thank you, Lord Yan!”
Zhang Qiu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately bowed and said gratefully.
He knew that as long as Yan Ken reported the matter to Kesha, the chances of success would be very high.
Sure enough, a few days later, Zhang Qiu received news that Queen Kesha tacitly allowed him to leave Melo Heaven and travel in the universe.
Chapter 43: Dangerous Exercise (Old Version)
Keisha seemed to have similar thoughts as Yan about Zhang Qiu, this “interesting variable”.
She wanted to further observe how this individual from an unknown civilization would perform in the wider universe.
Perhaps, he could really learn something valuable to angel civilization from the development history of those “post-nuclear civilizations”?
Of course, Kesha was not completely defenseless.
Through Yan, she issued some clear instructions and restrictions to Zhang Qiu, such as prohibiting him from leaking any confidential information about the Melo Heavenly Court, prohibiting him from doing evil in the universe in the name of an angel, and regularly reporting his whereabouts and what he saw and heard to the Melo Heavenly Court.
Zhang Qiu naturally agreed to these instructions and restrictions, and behaved extremely “loyal” and “obedient”.
After obtaining Kesha’s formal consent, Angel Yan personally arranged a small angel shuttle for Zhang Qiu.
Although this shuttle is not large, it has the ability to carry out short-distance interstellar travel, and its internal space is large enough for Zhang Qiu to use alone.
The ship is equipped with basic life support systems, navigation systems, and certain defensive firepower.
Yan also provided Zhang Qiu with some basic star map information, including a detailed route map to the solar system (the galaxy where the earth is located).
In addition, she also prepared sufficient survival supplies for Zhang Qiu, as well as a small amount of high-purity energy blocks as energy supplements for the shuttle.
The day before Zhang Qiu was about to leave Melo Heaven, Yan summoned him again.
“Zhang Qiu,” Yan looked at the “visitor from another world” who was about to embark on an unknown journey, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes, “The universe is so big that it is far beyond your imagination.
It is filled with various civilizations and also various dangers.
You must be careful when you go there and do what you can.”
“Thank you for your concern, Lord Yan. I will definitely keep your teachings in mind.”
“Remember, although you are not an angel, you did come from the Mello Heaven after all.
Everything you say and do in the universe may, to some extent, represent the image of an angel.”
Yan’s tone became more serious, “I don’t want to hear any news about you damaging the reputation of Angel.
Otherwise, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, the wrath of the Melo Heaven will be enough to turn you into ashes.”
Zhang Qiu immediately said seriously, “Although I am not talented, I know what to do and what not to do.
I will never do anything that would damage the reputation of angels! I will only spread the greatness and glory of angelic civilization to every corner of the universe!”
He once again demonstrated his “superb” acting skills.
Yan looked at Zhang Qiu’s “confident” look, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes.
She knew that this guy was very good at smooth talking.
“Okay, I’ve explained everything I need to explain.”
Yan waved his hand and said, “You can leave early tomorrow morning.
I hope you have a safe journey. ”
Zhang Qiu bowed deeply again, his tone full of gratitude and reluctance. “Zhang Qiu will never forget the kindness you and Queen Kesha have shown me! If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely come back to repay you!”
The next morning, Zhang Qiu, led by several attendant angels, arrived at the star port of Melo Heaven.
The small angel shuttle prepared for him was already quietly moored on the launch pad, waiting for its new owner.
Zhang Qiu took one last look back at this magnificent and sacred city floating above the clouds, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
This is his first stop in this world.
Here, he experienced life-and-death crises and also gained great opportunities.
He learned and grew up here, and also met some angels who were worthy of respect and vigilance.
Although he did not completely agree with some of the ideas and practices of the Mello Heavenly Court.
But he also had to admit that this city did possess awe-inspiring power and desirable beauty.
“Goodbye, Mello Celestial Palace.”
Zhang Qiu said silently in his heart, “Maybe we will meet again soon.”
He took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions in his heart, and then resolutely boarded the angel shuttle that belonged to him.
After briefly saying goodbye to the several angels who came to see him off (mainly the maintenance angels of the library, and some angel apprentices who had been “instructed” by him in the training ground), Zhang Qiu started the shuttle’s engine.
With a slight vibration, the shuttle slowly rose into the air, then turned into a silver stream of light, broke through the energy shield of Melo Heaven, and flew towards the depths of the vast universe.
Zhang Qiu sat in the cockpit, looking at the bright and unfamiliar starry sky outside the porthole, his heart filled with infinite longing for the future and deep anticipation for the “leeks” on Earth that were about to mature.
The corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up into a playful smile.
“Earth, here I come!”
“All the ‘protagonists’ of the Heroic Company, are you ready to embrace your ‘destiny’?”
A “plundering” journey targeting the entire earth and even the entire known universe is about to begin!
And he, Zhang Qiu, will be the biggest variable in this drama that no one can predict!
The engine of the Angel Shuttle made a low and steady humming sound, and the silver-white hull drew a graceful arc against the background of the deep universe, gradually moving away from the Merlo Heavenly Palace, which was composed of countless golden buildings and suspended above the clouds like a miracle.
Zhang Qiu sat in the cockpit, looking back through the huge porthole at the City of Angels that was getting farther and farther away.
He was filled with mixed feelings.
Although his time in Melo Heaven was filled with various challenges and crises, it also allowed him to gain unimaginable growth and opportunities.
He changed from a “visitor from another world” who knew nothing about this world to an “explorer” who had some self-protection power and had a certain understanding of the universe and god-level civilization.
Not only did he plunder several entries that were crucial to him, which significantly improved his physical fitness and combat skills, but more importantly, he was also exposed to the vast knowledge of the angel civilization, and gained a preliminary understanding of cutting-edge fields such as genetic technology, divine body technology, and energy applications.
Chapter 44 Precision Rescue (Old Version)
All these have laid a solid foundation for his future development.
Although, he did not completely agree with some of the ideas and practices of the Mello Heavenly Court.
For example, the almost paranoid justice order and the condescending attitude towards other civilizations.
But he also had to admit that the power and glory of the angel civilization were indeed awe-inspiring.
Zhang Qiu said silently in his heart, “Perhaps, we will meet again in a brand new way soon.”
He withdrew his gaze and refocused his attention on the starry sky before him.
This was his first true interstellar voyage.
Although he had taken a spaceship before (in his memories of his previous life), those were mostly short trips within the solar system, which was completely different from the long journey across several star fields like this one.
The vastness and magnificence of the universe made his heart surge and he was extremely excited.
Through the porthole, he could see countless stars of different sizes and colors, sparkling with charming light like diamonds scattered on black velvet.
The gorgeous nebulae, like colorful ribbons, meander across the universe, forming a series of breathtaking and magnificent pictures.
Occasionally, some strange cosmic phenomena, such as the regular flashing of pulsars or the gorgeous debris left after a supernova explosion, would pass by his spacecraft, giving him a deeper appreciation for the mystery and wonder of the universe.
According to the star map information given by Angel Yan, he set the navigation parameters for the solar system in the shuttle’s navigation system.
Then he started the ship’s sublight cruise engines.
With a slight feeling of acceleration, the speed of the shuttle suddenly increased, turning into a silver stream of light, rushing towards the distant and tiny target marked on the star map – the Earth.
Only after the spacecraft entered a stable cruising state did Zhang Qiu have time to carefully check his [Plunder Entry System].
After his “hard work” in Melo Heaven, he has accumulated a lot of plunder points.
Completed the main task of [Initial Integration] and obtained 100 points.
I helped the library’s maintenance angel solve various minor problems, and gradually received some scattered task rewards, which added up to about 50 points.
In the simulated confrontation training, he commanded the team to defeat the strong with the weak, and won the achievement of “Excellent Command” and was rewarded with 80 points.
In addition, there are 30 points obtained from completing the two achievements [First Cry of the Other World] and [Survival in Desperate Situations], as well as the 80 points consumed when plundering [Gold – Secondary Divine Body Concept (Fragment A13)].
All in all, he now has a total of 100+50+80+30-80=180 plunder points.
This is already a considerable fortune for him.
He decided to temporarily accumulate these plundering points and save them for use at a critical moment.
For example, it can be used to increase the success rate when plundering high-quality entries, or it can be used to redeem some special items or functions after unlocking the system mall.
In addition to the looting points, he also carefully sorted out the entries he currently had:
[Silver-Basic Fighting Techniques (Mastering the Art)][Bronze-Angelic Physique (Weak)][Silver-Angel Flying Skills (Beginner)]【Gold-Precision Repair】
[Gold-Heart-burning Guardian (Passive Defense Skill)][Bronze – Tactical Deception (Beginner)][Gold – Secondary Divine Body Concept (Fragment A13)]These entries covered multiple aspects such as fighting, physique, flying, repair, defense, tactics, and divine body conception. Although the levels were not very high, they had built a relatively comprehensive ability system for him.
He believed that as long as he could continue to work hard, plunder and learn, he would be able to raise the level and effect of these entries to a whole new level.
During the long interstellar voyage, Zhang Qiu was not idle.
He used some basic training equipment on the shuttle and insisted on daily physical exercise, working hard to improve his strength, speed, and endurance so as to better exert the effects of [Silver – Basic Combat Skills] and [Bronze – Angelic Physique (Weak)].
He also spent a lot of time carefully studying and comprehending the knowledge and mysteries contained in the three high-value entries: [Silver – Angel Flying Skills (Beginner’s Guide)], [Gold – Heart-Burning Guardian (Passive Defense Skills)], and [Gold – Secondary Divine Body Conception (Fragment A13)].
Although he doesn’t have wings yet and can’t actually fly, he can deepen his understanding of flying techniques by simulating them in his mind.
Although he has not yet encountered a target that he needs to “protect”, he can experience the powerful belief and will contained in [Burning Heart Guardian] through meditation and perception.
Although he does not have the ability to construct a true “divine body” now, he can lay a solid theoretical foundation for his future strengthening by learning and studying the knowledge in [Secondary Divine Body Concept (Fragment A13)].
Time passes day by day in this boring yet fulfilling study and practice.
The angel shuttle is sailing alone in the vast universe.
It is like a small boat drifting in the endless ocean, small but persistent, moving forward towards that distant goal unswervingly.
A few days later, the spacecraft sailed to an area with dense meteorite belts and interstellar dust.
The cosmic environment here has become somewhat complicated and dangerous.
Countless meteorites of various sizes float and shuttle in the darkness like ghosts. From time to time, violent collisions occur, bursting into dazzling flames.
The dense interstellar dust is like a thick layer of fog, blocking the light of distant stars and reducing the detection range of spacecraft.
Zhang Qiu was extremely alert and carefully controlled the shuttle, moving flexibly between these obstacles.
At this moment, a rapid alarm suddenly sounded in the cockpit of the spacecraft!
“Warning! Warning! Multiple unknown energy signals detected approaching at high speed! Suspected hostile targets!”
At the same time, several danger marks flashing red light appeared on the navigation screen, and they were quickly coming towards him from the shadows of some huge meteorites behind the spacecraft!
Chapter 45: Slight Changes in Relationship (Old Version)
“Is it finally here?”
The corner of Zhang Qiu’s mouth curled up into an icy arc.
He knew that the universe was not peaceful.
In addition to those highly civilized interstellar races, there are also many space pirates who make a living by plundering, interstellar bandits, and various dark forces that are not visible to the light.
It seems that I have encountered a small group of short-sighted space pirates.
Sure enough, the next moment, several small armed ships with crude shapes and hideous skull marks painted on their hulls suddenly rushed out from behind the huge meteorites, and like sharks smelling blood, they surrounded Zhang Qiu’s Angel Shuttle in the middle!
The size of these pirate ships is slightly smaller than Zhang Qiu’s shuttle, but there are as many as five or six of them.
Their hulls are covered with various crude weapon mounting points, flashing with dangerous energy light.
“Hey, hey, hey! That little white boat in front, stop for me!”
A rough and arrogant voice came to Zhang Qiu’s shuttle through the public communication channel, “If you know what’s good for you, just hand over all the valuables on your ship and give that pretty girl (they obviously think Zhang Qiu is a rich lady or a female angel who is traveling) to us for fun. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude!”
Along with the arrogant shouts, the weapon systems on those pirate ships also locked onto Zhang Qiu’s shuttle, seemingly ready to launch an attack at any time.
Faced with this sudden encirclement and provocation, Zhang Qiu not only did not feel the slightest panic or fear, but instead felt an inexplicable excitement and anticipation in his heart.
This is a great opportunity to test the results of your strength improvement during this period, as well as to plunder new entries!
She is not a weak woman who is powerless.
He is a man who possesses the [Plunder Entry System]!
“A bunch of fools who don’t know how to live or die.”
Zhang Qiu sneered, and a fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
He ignored the pirates’ shouting and quickly activated the simple weapon system equipped on the Angel Shuttle.
Although this shuttle is not a professional combat vessel, it is a product of angel civilization after all, and its technological level is far beyond the reach of these crudely made pirate ships.
The ship is equipped with two small energy cannons and several high-explosive energy torpedoes. Although their power is not too great, they should be more than enough to deal with these little pirates.
At the same time, he also quietly used the [Plunder Entry System] and carefully observed the entry information on these space pirates.
As he expected, most of the entries on these pirates were low-quality entries related to their professions:
For example, the pirate leader who shouted the loudest had the following displayed on his head:
[Name: Blood Axe Kamon][Race: Grak (Humanoid)][Level: Level 1 (Intermediate)][Status: Arrogant, Greedy][Bronze – Interstellar Plundering Experience (Experienced)]: Passive item.
He has extensive experience in interstellar robbery and is skilled in intimidation, blackmail, and pursuit of targets.
[Silver – Simple Spaceship Control (Skilled)]: Passive item.
Able to skillfully operate various types of simple armed ships for combat and pursuit.
[Bronze – Fierceness (Momentum)]: Active/passive term.
Able to cause a certain psychological deterrent effect on the enemy through fierce expressions and words.
[Bronze – Inferior Energy Weapon Mastery (Mastery)]: Passive item.
Able to master the use of some inferior energy weapons, but their accuracy and power are poor.
As for the other pirate minions, the items on their bodies were even more disgusting. Most of them were garbage items such as [Bronze – Fighter Instinct], [Bronze – Cannon Fodder’s Awareness], and [Bronze – Escape Skills (Beginner)]. To Zhang Qiu, they were almost worthless to plunder.
“It seems that these guys can only be regarded as appetizers.”
Zhang Qiu thought secretly in his heart.
But something is better than nothing.
At least, the two items of [Silver – Simple Spaceship Control (Skilled)] and [Bronze – Interstellar Looting Experience (Experienced)] on the pirate leader are still of some use to him.
The former can improve his ability to control the angel shuttle, and the latter can enable him to better understand the behavior and survival rules of these dark forces in the universe.
Just as Zhang Qiu was secretly calculating, the space pirates seemed to lose their patience when they saw that he had not responded for a long time.
“Damn it! If you don’t accept my toast, you’ll have to drink the wine for punishment! Brothers, open fire! Shoot that little white boat into a sieve!”
The pirate leader Blood Axe Kamon roared and gave the order to attack.
In an instant, several energy beams of different colors and several energy missiles with long tail flames whizzed out from the pirate ships and shot towards Zhang Qiu’s angel shuttle!
Faced with this intensive fire attack, there was no trace of panic on Zhang Qiu’s face.
He took a deep breath and his eyes became extremely focused.
His hands danced quickly on the cockpit control panel, like a butterfly flying through flowers, dazzling.
The engine of the Angel Shuttle made a loud roar, and the ship suddenly slid sideways at an incredible angle, narrowly avoiding most of the energy attacks.
Then, he controlled the shuttle ship, flexibly shuttling and dodging among the dense meteorites, like an experienced ace pilot, and brought the superior performance of the angel shuttle ship to the fullest.
This was due not only to the performance advantages of the Angel Shuttle itself, but also to some of the flying skills he learned from the angels, as well as his own strong reaction speed and accurate judgment.
Those space pirates obviously did not expect that this ordinary-looking little white ship actually had such amazing maneuverability.
Most of their attacks fell into the air, or hit some innocent meteorites, causing bursts of dazzling flames.
“Damn! This guy is a bit weird!”
The pirate leader Blood Axe Kamon couldn’t help but curse inwardly when he saw this.
He commanded his men to continue chasing and shooting Zhang Qiu frantically.
Zhang Qiu seemed to be playing with these pirates, controlling the shuttle and strolling leisurely and easily amidst the hail of bullets.
He even had the leisure to attempt to plunder one of the pirate minions who looked more reckless.
Chapter 46: Bottleneck is coming (old version)
His target was a very inconspicuous item on the pirate minion’s body, [Bronze – Interstellar Sailing Experience (Pirate Edition)].
Although this entry is of low level, the experience and skills it contains about navigating in a complex cosmic environment are still of some reference value to him.
Because the target was weak, had weak willpower, and was in a panic at the moment, Zhang Qiu successfully snatched the entry without spending much effort.
The moment he successfully plundered this entry, the system prompt sounded as expected:
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering the [Bronze – Interstellar Sailing Experience (Pirate Edition)] entry!”
“System prompt: Every time the host successfully plunders an entry, its quality and quantity will subtly have a certain positive impact on the host’s own energy affinity, mental power limit, and soul recovery speed.
The high-quality entries looted will bring more significant benefits. “
“Host, please keep up the good work and strive to plunder more and higher quality entries to promote your overall growth!”
Hearing this system prompt, Zhang Qiu couldn’t help but feel happy.
It turns out that looting entries not only directly obtains the effects of the entry itself, but also subtly improves one’s basic attributes! This is simply a pleasant surprise!
It seems that I will have to work harder to “harvest leeks” in the future!
Just when he was distracted by plundering the entries, the pirate leader Bloodaxe Kamon seemed to have seized an opportunity.
He personally controlled his vehicle, a modified heavy armed ship, and suddenly rushed towards the side and rear of Zhang Qiu’s shuttle from a tricky angle. The ferocious energy main gun at the bow had begun to charge, flashing a dangerous red light!
“Go to hell, pretty boy!”
Blood Axe Kamon grinned and pressed the fire button.
A thick beam of energy filled with a destructive aura instantly shot out from the muzzle of his gun, with the power to tear everything apart, and headed straight for Zhang Qiu’s shuttle!
Faced with this sudden and fatal attack, Zhang Qiu’s pupils suddenly shrank.
He knew that if this shot was hit head-on, even the energy shield of the Angel Shuttle would be unable to withstand it.
At this critical moment, Zhang Qiu’s mind was unusually calm.
He did not panic, but relied on the fighting instinct brought by [Silver – Basic Fighting Skills] and some avoidance skills contained in the [Bronze – Interstellar Navigation Experience (Pirate Edition)] he had just plundered to perform an incredible extreme operation!
He suddenly pulled the joystick and increased the engine power to the maximum in an instant!
The angel shuttle’s hull drew a strange Z-shaped trajectory in the air, narrowly avoiding the thick energy beam in an almost impossible way!
The energy beam almost brushed past the shuttle’s tail wing, blasting a huge meteorite next to it into pieces!
“What?!”
Bloodaxe Kamon couldn’t believe his eyes.
His main gun attack, which had always been invincible, was actually dodged so easily by the opponent?
What kind of monster is this guy?!
Just as Blood Axe Kamon was stunned by shock, Zhang Qiu’s counterattack had already arrived!
He did not choose to engage in a long-range artillery battle with the enemy because he knew that his shuttle did not have an advantage in firepower.
He controlled the shuttle, like a ghost, and instantly got close to Blood Axe Kamon’s vehicle!
Then, he activated the energy jamming system on the shuttle!
An invisible, strong energy interference wave instantly enveloped Blood Axe Kamon’s vehicle!
Blood Axe Kamon only felt that his spaceship system suddenly went into a violent disorder! Various instruments were flashing wildly, the control panel became inoperative, and even the weapon system could not be locked for the time being!
“Shit! What the hell is this?!”
Blood Axe Kamon was filled with shock and anger, and frantically slapped the malfunctioning control panel.
And at this moment, Zhang Qiu has seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
He activated the [Plundering Item System] again, targeting the [Silver – Simple Spaceship Control (Skilled)] item on Blood Axe Kamon!
Because Bloodaxe Kamon was in a panic and restless state at the moment, and his spaceship system was also strongly disturbed, his willpower was also weakened to a certain extent.
Zhang Qiu only spent 30 plundering points and successfully obtained this silver-level entry!
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully plundering the [Silver-Simple Spaceship Control (Proficient)] entry!”
A surge of experience and skills about operating various simple spacecraft instantly flooded into Zhang Qiu’s mind.
He felt that he was becoming more adept at controlling the angel shuttle.
After successfully plundering two valuable entries, Zhang Qiu was too lazy to continue to tangle with these space pirates.
He controlled the Angel Shuttle, and with its absolute performance advantage and his superb (at least in the eyes of these pirates) flying skills, he easily got rid of the pursuit of those pirate ships.
Then, he turned the ship around and activated the energy cannons and energy torpedoes on the shuttle, launching a round of precise and efficient fire strikes on the pirate ships that were still resisting.
Faced with the absolute technological gap, those crudely made pirate ships were simply vulnerable.
In just a few minutes, the five or six space pirate ships were completely destroyed by Zhang Qiu and turned into balls of gorgeous cosmic fireworks.
A battle that he didn’t think was fierce ended easily.
Zhang Qiu even had the leisure time to control the shuttle and search the wreckage of those pirate ships.
He made a fortune at a young age. Not only did he find some hard currency commonly used in the universe – high-purity energy crystals, he also collected some common spare parts that could be used to repair and modify shuttles.
After clearing the battlefield, Zhang Qiu did not stop and continued to drive the Angel Shuttle towards the direction of the Earth.
In the following weeks, he encountered several waves of blind space pirates and interstellar bandits one after another.
But most of these guys are relatively weak and are no match for Zhang Qiu at all.
Chapter 47 Earth Project (Old Version)
He regarded these encounters as “actual combat exercises” to test his own strength and plundering entries.
Through these “actual combat exercises”, he not only plundered some scattered low-level entries that were somewhat useful to him, such as [Bronze – Interstellar Smuggling Experience], [Bronze – Black Market Trading Skills], [Silver – Energy Shield Repair (Basic)], etc., but his combat experience and psychological quality also improved significantly.
He felt that he was slowly transforming from a fledgling “rookie” to a qualified “space adventurer”.
Finally, after several weeks of long sailing, a beautiful blue planet full of vitality appeared outside the shuttle’s porthole.
Against the dark background of the universe, the planet appears particularly eye-catching and charming.
It is covered by a thin layer of white clouds like a veil. Through the gaps in the clouds, you can vaguely see the vast blue ocean, the undulating green land, and the winding rivers and mountains below.
It is the final destination of his journey – Earth!
Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar planet in front of him, Zhang Qiu’s heart was filled with indescribable excitement and anticipation.
He knew that at this time on Earth, the situation was just before the incident on the USS Grand Canyon aircraft carrier. Most of the future “protagonists” – the members of the Hero Company – were still living ordinary lives. They had not yet formally assembled, nor had they awakened the powerful super genes in their bodies.
Everything is still in the brief calm before the storm.
And he, Zhang Qiu, is about to set off a “plundering” storm of his own on this peaceful land!
Zhang Qiu did not directly land the Angel Shuttle in a big city on Earth.
He knew that doing so would certainly cause high vigilance among governments around the world and cause unnecessary trouble.
He chose a relatively remote, sparsely populated uninhabited island area, carefully controlled the shuttle, and slowly landed in a dense primeval forest.
Then, he activated the optical camouflage and energy shielding systems on the Angel Shuttle, perfectly hiding the entire ship and blending it with the surrounding environment. Even high-precision reconnaissance from space would make it difficult to detect its existence.
After doing all this, Zhang Qiu took out a set of very ordinary casual clothes from the storage compartment of the shuttle, which he had obtained from the space pirates he had eliminated, and changed out of his slightly ostentatious angel uniform.
He also found a simple, foldable personal aircraft from the pirates’ relics.
Although the performance of this aircraft is far inferior to that of the Angel’s Wings, it is still very convenient and concealed for short-distance infiltration and movement within cities on a low-tech planet like Earth.
After everything was ready, Zhang Qiu took a deep breath, started his personal aircraft, quietly left the uninhabited island, and sneaked towards his predetermined target city – Juxia City, a prosperous coastal city located in the coastal area of the eastern great country.
Juxia City, a city full of legends in the memories of previous lives, is also the place where many important events in the future will take place.
Zhang Qiu chose this place as his first base of concealment, naturally it was a well-considered decision.
He used the forged identity information that Angel Yan gave him before leaving Melo Heaven (this information was enough to deal with most identity verification systems on Earth), as well as a little “hard currency” that was also commonly used on Earth (such as some rare metals or gems) looted from pirates, and easily rented a small apartment in an inconspicuous residential area in Juxia City as his temporary residence.
Just like that, Zhang Qiu, the “predator” from another world, quietly integrated into this prosperous city that was about to be hit by a storm, and began his lurking career on this blue planet.
His eyes have been cast on the “protagonists” who are about to step onto the stage of history.
A plan to “harvest leeks” against them was quietly brewing in his mind.
When he stepped onto the earth, Zhang Qiu seemed to have entered a whole new world.
Although he had gained some preliminary understanding of the Earth’s “post-nuclear civilization” through the database of the Melo Heaven before, when he was actually in this prosperous city called “Juxia City”, he was still deeply attracted by everything in front of him.
The towering skyscrapers rise from the ground like a steel forest, shining with a cold and modern luster in the sun.
On the wide and flat asphalt road, all kinds of strangely shaped metal vehicles (cars, buses, motorcycles, etc. to earthlings) are flowing continuously, making bursts of engine roars and shrill horn sounds.
On both sides of the street, there are shops lining the streets, neon lights flashing, and all kinds of billboards and electronic screens broadcasting dazzling commercial information.
The air was filled with a complex, indescribable smell.
There is the pungent smell of car exhaust, the enticing aroma of street food, the freshness of flowers and trees, and the mixture of human sweat and desire.
Compared with the sacred, peaceful and orderly environment of the Merlo Heaven, the cities on Earth appear more noisy and chaotic, but also more full of unique vitality and a sense of fireworks.
Zhang Qiu strolled through the streets and alleys of Juxia City like a real “traveler from another world”, observing the humans on this planet and their various lifestyles with a curious and scrutinizing gaze.
He saw office workers rushing around, squeezed into crowded buses, with fatigue and numbness on their faces; he saw well-dressed men and women shopping and spending to their heart’s content in luxurious shopping malls, with satisfaction and vanity on their faces; he saw street vendors shouting loudly for a living, with hardships and expectations written all over their faces; he also saw old people in the park, practicing Tai Chi leisurely, with peace and tranquility on their faces.
He also discovered that humans on this planet seemed to have an almost pathological dependence on a small communication device called a “mobile phone.”
Whether walking, eating, or waiting for a bus, almost everyone lowers their head and stares intently at the small screen in their hands, with various expressions of joy, sadness, or obsession appearing on their faces from time to time.
Through these “mobile phones”, they seem to be able to connect to a virtual world called “the Internet”.
In that world, they can obtain all kinds of information, communicate with people far away, play all kinds of games, and indulge in all kinds of illusions and desires.
Zhang Qiu also developed some interest in this “network”.
Using some basic information technology he learned from the angels and some simple equipment looted from pirates, he easily connected to the “Internet” of this planet.
He discovered that this “network” was indeed a very magical thing.
It is like a boundless ocean of knowledge, storing massive amounts of information and data.
He is like a child who has just learned to swim, swimming and exploring to his heart’s content.
He learned about the planet’s history, culture, technology, and various contradictions and conflicts.
Although, in Zhang Qiu’s opinion, the technological level of the Earth is so primitive and not worth mentioning compared to that of the Mello Heaven.
Their most proud nuclear weapons are nothing more than children’s toys in front of those god-level civilizations that can destroy galaxies at will.
However, humans on this planet possess a quality that many other advanced civilizations do not possess – that is, vigorous vitality and unlimited possibilities.
Although they are small, they are full of creativity and spirit of exploration.
Although they are selfish, they also understand love and dedication.
Although they are ignorant, they also yearn for light and progress.
This complex and contradictory characteristic makes Zhang Qiu have an indescribable complex emotion towards this planet.
Of course, while observing and experiencing human life on Earth, Zhang Qiu did not forget his main task – to find the future core members of the “Heroic Company” and plunder high-quality “entry deposits” from them.
His [Plunder Entry System] also constantly scanned every passerby who passed by him as he strolled through the city.
He discovered that these ordinary humans on Earth also possessed a wide variety of entries, but the quality of these entries was mostly low-level, mainly bronze and silver levels, and the types tended towards life and skills.
For example, he saw the entry [Bronze – Driving Veteran (Twenty Years No Accidents)] from a middle-aged taxi driver.
From an old lady selling snacks on the street, I saw the entry [Silver – Cooking Skills (Excellent Home-cooked Dishes)].
From an energetic old lady dancing in the square, I saw the entry [Bronze – Square Dance Leader (Sexy Dancing)].
He even saw a very peculiar entry of [Bronze – Social Awesomeness (As if No One Is Around)] from a young man who was talking loudly on the phone and spitting all over the place on the subway, oblivious to the people around him.
Although these entries may seem funny and useless, they also reflect, from one aspect, the diversity and fun of human life on Earth.
Zhang Qiu was not in a hurry to plunder these low-level entries.
Because he knew that these were not his main goals.
His “appetite” has been spoiled by the high-quality entries in Mello Heaven.
Unless he encounters some very special or low-level entries that are useful to him, he generally won’t take action easily.
His first priority is to find those future “gods”, the core members of the Xiongbing Company who are entrusted with “destiny”!
Based on his vague memories of certain “plots” in his previous life and some databases given to him by the angel Yan (before Yan asked him to leave the Melo Heaven, he specially copied some basic information about the earth for him, including some fragmentary information about the “super gene lurkers” recorded during the early preliminary exploration of the earth by the angel civilization), he began to search in Juxia City with a targeted approach.
He knew that most of these future “gods” were just ordinary mortals at the moment. They mingled among the masses, leading ordinary and somewhat decadent lives, and had not yet realized the heavy mission they shouldered and the terrifying power they contained.
It is not easy to find these “unknown” ordinary people in the huge Juxia City.
But Zhang Qiu has his own advantages.
Not only does he possess physical fitness and perception abilities far superior to those of ordinary people on Earth, he also has mastered some simple hacking techniques (these techniques were what he had learned from some public materials on information security and network attack and defense in the library of Mello Heaven in order to complete the “Initial Integration” mission).
Using these technologies, he easily hacked into Juxia City’s urban monitoring system and household registration management system, and began to conduct large-scale investigations and screening of target groups that met the characteristics of “super gene latent carriers.”
After several days of painstaking investigation and information collection, Zhang Qiu finally found his first target, Ge Xiaolun, in a shabby Internet cafe located in an urban village in Juxia City!
At this time, Ge Xiaolun, wearing a pair of greasy headphones and with dishevelled hair, was sitting in an inconspicuous corner of the Internet cafe, staring intently at the computer screen, his fingers typing frantically on the keyboard and mouse.
On the screen is an online fighting game that is very popular on Earth, with cool graphics and intense fighting.
Ge Xiaolun was very into the game, occasionally swearing, such as “Fuck! Does this idiot know how to play?”
, “Fuck! We lost again! What a bunch of stupid teammates!”
And so on.
Beside him, there were some instant noodle buckets, beverage bottles, and crumpled toilet paper scattered around, emitting a disgusting mixed smell.
The whole person’s image is that of a typical, hopeless “Internet addict”.
If he didn’t know his identity in advance, Zhang Qiu would never be able to associate this decadent and sloppy guy in front of him with the future superhero who possesses the “power of the galaxy” and is tasked with saving the earth.
Zhang Qiu quietly activated the [Plunder Entry System] and observed the entry information above Ge Xiaolun’s head.
[Name: Ge Xiaolun][Race: Human (Earth)][Level: Level Zero (Mortal)][Status: addicted to games, listless, slightly kidney-deficient][Bronze – Hardcore Gamer (Proficient in all major online games)]: Passive entry.
Possess great enthusiasm and talent for various online games, able to quickly get started and reach a high level.
[Silver – Simple Sense of Justice (Unactivated)]: Passive/potential item.
Deep down, he has a kind and just heart, but under the pressure of reality and his own cowardice, it has not yet been fully aroused.
[? ? ? – Galaxy Power (not activated, shrouded in thick fog)]: Core/potential item.
The body contains a gene fragment of one of the top super genes in the universe – “Galaxy Power”.
This gene possesses unlimited potential. Once fully activated, it will give the host the terrifying power to manipulate dark energy, reverse the void, and even create and destroy the universe.
(Current status: The gene is in a deep dormant state, sealed or interfered by unknown forces, and specific information cannot be detected.
Chapter 48 Travel Request (Old Version)
When Zhang Qiu saw Ge Xiaolun’s entry information, he couldn’t help but feel happy.
It turned out to be just as he expected!
Although Ge Xiaolun looks like an ordinary internet-addicted teenager now, the golden entry on his body, which is shrouded in thick fog and only the words “Galaxy Power” can be vaguely seen, undoubtedly proves his unlimited potential in the future!
This is simply a gold mine that has not yet been mined and contains endless treasures!
However, Zhang Qiu also noticed that the entry for [Galaxy Power] was currently in an “unactivated” state and was also shrouded in “thick fog.” Even the system’s detection function was unable to obtain its specific information.
This means that if you want to plunder this entry, you may need to meet some special conditions, or wait until it is activated before you can succeed.
Moreover, the entry [Silver – Simple Sense of Justice (Unstimulated)] on Ge Xiaolun also caught Zhang Qiu’s attention.
Although this entry is only at the silver level, it is marked with “potential” and “unstimulated”.
This shows that this entry may evolve into a higher quality entry in the future.
As for the entry [Bronze – Hardcore Gamer], Zhang Qiu simply ignored it.
He has no interest in playing games.
Zhang Qiu did not go forward immediately to alarm Ge Xiaolun.
He knew that now was not the best time to contact Ge Xiaolun.
The “galactic power” in Ge Xiaolun’s body has not yet been activated, and his character is rather cowardly and timid. If I show up rashly and say something about super genes, space wars and the like, I’m afraid he will just think I’m a lunatic.
So, Zhang Qiu simply turned on a machine in another corner of the Internet cafe and pretended to surf the Internet, but in fact he focused most of his attention on observing Ge Xiaolun’s every move.
He carefully recorded Ge Xiaolun’s gaming habits (such as what types of games he liked to play, which heroes or characters he was good at using, and whether his gaming style tended to be aggressive or vulgar, etc.).
He also recorded Ge Xiaolun’s daily routine (such as what time he usually came to the Internet cafe, when he left, whether he often stayed up all night, etc.).
Through some simple tracking and observation, he also got a general idea of the places Ge Xiaolun often went to (such as where he lived, which restaurants he liked to eat at, whether he had other interests and hobbies, etc.).
He also made some preliminary analysis of Ge Xiaolun’s personality traits (for example, he usually seems to be a bit careless, not doing his job properly, and even a bit timid, and likes to retreat when encountering problems.
But judging by his unwillingness to admit defeat when playing games, and the bit of bloodiness he occasionally showed when arguing with teammates, he does seem to have some bright spots deep down in his heart).
Through these meticulous observations and records, Zhang Qiu gained a more comprehensive and three-dimensional understanding of Ge Xiaolun, the future “Galaxy Force”.
He decided not to have any direct contact with Ge Xiaolun for the time being, but to continue observing him secretly for a while, waiting for a more appropriate time, and then consider how to “guide” him onto the “correct” path and get the “reward” he wanted from him.
After initially locking in Ge Xiaolun as his target, Zhang Qiu began to look for his second target – the future “No Star War God”, Liu Chuang.
According to the information provided by Tian Shi Yan and his vague memory of the “plot” of his previous life, Liu Chuang should still be the leader of a demolition team thugs hanging out on the streets of Juxia City. He has a bad temper, rude behavior, a bad record, and is a frequent visitor to the police station.
Finding such a person is slightly easier than looking for Ge Xiaolun, the reclusive internet-addicted teenager.
Zhang Qiu spent some time and effort to find out some information from the underworld (he used some “black market trading skills” he learned from pirates to easily get some useful information from some street thugs) and to check some areas that were being demolished. Finally, he found Liu Chuang’s trace in a construction site on the outskirts of Juxia City where a large-scale demolition was being carried out.
At this time, Liu Chuang, with a group of hooligans, was confronting several “nail households” who were unwilling to move.
Liu Chuang was extremely tall and strong, taller and stronger than any earthling Zhang Qiu had ever seen before.
He had a shaved head, a face full of fat, and fierce eyes full of hostility.
He wore a thick, shiny gold chain around his neck, and his arms were tattooed with ferocious dragon and tiger patterns.
He was wearing a tight black vest that perfectly outlined his explosive muscles.
He held a cigarette in his mouth, tilted his head, and shouted at the trembling household owners in an arrogant and domineering tone:
“Damn it! You are shameless, huh? I’m giving you one last chance! You must move out today! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless and bulldozing you and your house!”
His voice was rough and loud, full of threats and intimidation.
The group of younger brothers behind him were also ready to fight, glaring at the household owners ferociously, as if as long as Liu Chuang gave the order, they would immediately rush up and tear those poor “nail households” into pieces.
Most of the household heads were elderly people or women with children.
Faced with Liu Chuang’s group of ferocious demolition team thugs, they were so scared that their faces turned pale and they trembled all over. They were angry but dared not say a word.
Zhang Qiu stood in a secluded corner not far away, watching the scene coldly.
He quietly activated the [Plunder Entry System] and observed the entry information above Liu Chuang’s head.
【Name: Liu Chuang】
[Level: Zero (mortal, with physical fitness slightly better than ordinary people)][Status: Arrogant, irritable, bullying][Bronze – Street Fighting Experience (Veteran)]: Passive item.
He has extensive experience in street fights and is adept at using all kinds of despicable and shameless fighting methods.
[Silver – Fierce and Brutal (Oppressive Aura)]: Active/Passive term.
He has a fierce and brutal character, and can cause mental oppression and fear to his enemies through his powerful aura and cruel means.
[Bronze – Demolition Captain’s Dignity (Bluster)]: Passive item.
Chapter 49: Kesha’s acquiescence (old version)
As the leader of the demolition team, he possesses a certain authority in front of his subordinates (mostly pretend).
[? ? ? -No Star Wars (not activated, shrouded in thick fog)]: Core/potential item.
The body contains the super warrior gene from the No Star civilization – the gene fragment of “No Star God of War”.
This gene possesses powerful physical attack capabilities, superb defensive capabilities, and the characteristic of becoming more courageous in battle.
Once fully activated, it will give the host terrifying power to destroy the world.
Another golden potential entry shrouded in thick fog! [No Star Wars]!
An uncontrollable excitement surged in Zhang Qiu’s heart again.
It seems that my choice was correct! The earth is indeed a treasure land full of “gold”!
However, compared with Ge Xiaolun, this guy Liu Chuang seems to be much more difficult to deal with.
Not only is he much stronger than Ge Xiaolun physically, but he is also more violent, fierce and aggressive.
If you want to plunder entries from him, you may need to spend more time and effort.
Moreover, the negative bronze and silver-level attributes on Liu Chuang, such as [Street Fighting Experience (Veteran)], [Fierce and Brutal (Oppressive Aura)], etc., also gave Zhang Qiu a headache.
Although these entries are not of high level, they are very practical. If they conflict with him, it will probably bring him a lot of trouble.
Zhang Qiu did not choose to observe quietly in secret like he did with Ge Xiaolun.
Because he knew that for someone with Liu Chuang’s personality, simply observing and waiting might not have any effect.
He must find a way to have some direct “intersection” with Liu Chuang, only then will he have a chance to plunder the [No Star War God] entry from him.
Of course, this “intersection” method also needs to be carefully designed.
He didn’t want to have any head-on conflict with Liu Chuang, the local tyrant.
That would not only expose one’s own strength, but might also bring about unnecessary trouble.
Just as Zhang Qiu was thinking about how to have his first “friendly” contact with Liu Chuang, the situation at the demolition site seemed to have changed.
Among the “nail households”, there was an old man who looked quite strong-willed. He seemed to have been unable to endure it any longer. He stood up tremblingly, pointed at Liu Chuang’s nose and cursed:
“You lawless beasts! You demolished people’s houses in broad daylight. Do you still have the law?!”
When Liu Chuang heard this, his face suddenly darkened and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
“Fuck you! Old man, are you tired of living? How dare you scold me?”
Liu Chuang threw the cigarette butt in his hand hard on the ground, crushed it with his foot, and then glared at his brothers behind him viciously, “Drag this old man aside and give him a good ‘education’! Let him know what ‘disaster comes from the mouth’ means!”
Upon hearing that, the younger brothers immediately grinned and pounced on the old man like wolves and tigers!
Seeing that a violent conflict was about to break out, the onlookers around were so scared that they retreated one after another, fearing that they would be implicated.
就在这千钧一发之际，一个略显单薄的身影，突然从人群中走了出来，挡在了那位老大爷的身前。
“住手！”
一声清朗的断喝，在嘈杂的工地上响起，虽然声音不大，但却带着一种不容置疑的威严。
所有人的目光，都不约而同地，投向了那个突然出现的身影。
正是张秋！
他知道，自己的机会，来了！
张秋的突然出现，以及那声虽然不高但却充满了威严的断喝，让原本剑拔弩张的拆迁工地，瞬间陷入了一片诡异的寂静。
所有人的目光，都齐刷刷地投向了这个突然闯入的“不速之客”。
那几名正准备对老大爷动粗的拆迁队小弟，动作也为之一滞，有些错愕地看着这个突然冒出来的年轻人。
刘闯也眯起了眼睛，将嘴里的烟蒂吐在地上，用一种审视和不善的目光，上下打量着张秋。
他看到，张秋的身材并不算高大，甚至可以说有些单薄。
穿着一身看起来普普通通的休闲服，脸上还带着一丝略显稚嫩的青涩。
怎么看，都不像是一个能打的狠角色。
“小子，你他妈是谁啊？敢管老子的闲事？”
刘闯的语气中，充满了不屑和威胁，“不想死的，就给老子滚远点！别他妈在这里碍手碍脚！”
被张秋护在身后的那位老大爷，也有些惊讶地看着这个突然出现的年轻人。
他没想到，在这种时候，竟然还有人敢站出来为他说话。
他心中既感激，又有些担忧，生怕这个年轻人会因为自己而受到牵连。
张秋并没有理会刘闯的威胁，他只是平静地看着那几个正准备动粗的小弟，淡淡地说道：“光天化日，朗朗乾坤，仗势欺人，殴打老人，这就是你们所谓的‘威风’吗？”
他的声音不大，但却清晰地传入了在场每一个人的耳中。
那几个小弟被张秋说得脸色一阵青一阵白，但仗着人多势众，以及有刘闯在后面撑腰，他们依旧没有退缩的意思。
其中一个看起来比较嚣张的黄毛小混混，指着张秋的鼻子骂道：“操你妈的！你算老几啊？敢教训我们？我看你小子是活腻歪了！”
说着，他竟然挥舞着拳头，直接向着张秋的脸上打了过来！
张秋的眼神，瞬间一冷。
他知道，自己与刘闯这个未来的“诺星战神”的第一次“亲密接触”，恐怕就要以这种不太友好的方式开始了。
不过，在此之前，他还是习惯性地，再次用【掠夺词条系统】，仔细地观察了一下刘闯头顶上方的词条信息。

After a long period of street fighting and brawling, he has mastered a variety of practical and insidious street fighting skills, and he is ruthless and unscrupulous.
(Note: This technique is more practical than formal.
[Silver – Loyalty (Twisted Version)]: Passive/active entry.
They show a certain sense of loyalty to the “brothers” they recognize and are willing to go through fire and water for their “brothers”.
However, the definition and standards of “loyalty” are often distorted and selfish, and are more of a means of banding together for warmth and safeguarding the interests of small groups.
[Bronze – Deterrence (Small Range)]: Passive item.
With its fierce appearance and bad temper, it can have a certain psychological deterrent effect on ordinary people within a certain range, making them dare not resist easily.
After seeing these entries, Zhang Qiu reaffirmed his judgment.
The [No Star War God] item on Liu Chuang’s body, which was shrouded in thick fog, was not as dazzling as Ge Xiaolun’s [Power of the Galaxy], presenting a deep dark gold color, but the violent and pure physical force contained in it made Zhang Qiu feel a little palpitated.
He knew that this was also a top-level “entry mine” with huge potential that should not be missed!
As for Liu Chuang’s other bronze and silver-level attributes, such as [Street Fighting Skills (Skilled)], [Loyalty (Twisted Version)], [Deterrence (Small Range)], etc., although the quality is not high, they also reflect Liu Chuang’s current personality traits and behaviors from one aspect.
Especially the entry [Silver – Loyalty (distorted version)], which surprised Zhang Qiu.
He didn’t expect that Liu Chuang, who looked fierce and brutal, would actually have a “loyal” side.
Although this kind of “loyalty” is twisted and selfish, it also shows that deep down in his heart, he may not be completely without merit.
This made Zhang Qiu have a more complicated view of the character of Liu Chuang.
However, now is not the time to think about these things.
The fist of the yellow-haired gangster was about to hit him in the face.
Zhang Qiu decided to teach Liu Chuang and his group of younger brothers a little “lesson”.
This was not only to test his current strength and see how much his combat effectiveness had improved after this period of training and micro-enhancement; it was also to try to plunder some low-level entries that were more useful to him at the moment from Liu Chuang, such as the [Bronze – Street Fighting Skills (Skilled)].
More importantly, this “lesson” will leave a deep and indelible impression in Liu Chuang’s heart, laying a good foundation for his future “leek harvesting” plan.
After observing for a few days, he had roughly figured out the activity patterns and personnel composition of Liu Chuang’s small gang.
He knew that most of Liu Chuang’s subordinates were a mob that bullied the weak and feared the strong, and their actual fighting ability was not strong.
As long as we can take the initiative and shock them, the rest of the things will be much easier.
So, he carefully planned this “unexpected” “heroic rescue” (although the person he saved was an old man).
He pretended to be an ordinary citizen passing by who was a little too excited. He “accidentally” saw Liu Chuang and others bullying the “nail households”. Then he stood up “filled with righteous indignation” and tried to stop their atrocities.
All of this was part of his plan.
Facing the fist swung by the yellow-haired gangster, there was no trace of panic in Zhang Qiu’s eyes.
At the moment when the fist was about to hit his body, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and his body tilted slightly to the left like willow catkins, easily dodging the powerful punch with an extremely small amplitude.
At the same time, his right arm was like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole, and his elbow suddenly thrust upwards at a tricky angle like lightning!
A muffled sound!
Zhang Qiu’s elbow hit the yellow-haired gangster right under the ribs!
That is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human ribs and also where the nerve plexus is most densely distributed.
“Ouch!”
The yellow-haired hooligans only felt an unbearable pain, which instantly spread throughout their bodies like an electric current! His eyes went dark, and he let out a shrill scream. His body seemed to have been ripped out of its bones, and he collapsed to the ground, holding his ribs, rolling around in pain, and a layer of fine cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
He felt like his ribs were broken!
This sudden scene stunned everyone present.
No one expected that this seemingly weak young man would be so ruthless and decisive! Moreover, his movements were as fast as lightning and extremely precise, which was not at all like the skills that an ordinary person could possess!
The disdain and arrogance on Liu Chuang’s face froze in an instant.
His pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of surprise and solemnity flashed in his eyes.
He realized that he seemed to have hit a wall today!
The other demolition team brothers who had been so arrogant were also shocked when they saw that their companions were knocked down by the opponent with just one move and were beaten so badly.
The hideous smiles on their faces instantly turned into astonishment and fear.
But after all, they are numerous and powerful, and they are all desperate criminals who are used to fighting.
After a brief moment of shock, they reacted immediately.
“Damn it! This kid dared to attack! Brothers, come on! Destroy him!”
One of them was a burly man who looked like a small leader. He roared, took out a shiny steel pipe from his waist, and rushed towards Zhang Qiu viciously!
Several other thugs also pulled out various “weapons” from their pockets. Some were daggers, some were bricks, and some were beer bottles. They surrounded Zhang Qiu with ferocious looks!
Chapter 51: First Star Voyage (Old Version)
They would use the most cruel means to make this ignorant boy pay a heavy price for his reckless behavior just now!
Facing the siege of this group of ferocious thugs, there was no fear on Zhang Qiu’s face.
The corners of his mouth even curled up slightly in an icy arc.
“Well done!”
He said to himself.
He knew that the time had come for him to show his true strength!
He no longer concealed his skills, and at this moment, the two items in his body, [Silver – Basic Fighting Skills] and [Gold – Burning Heart Protection], were quietly activated at the same time!
An exquisite fighting skill, as well as an instinctive foresight of danger and a passive defensive consciousness, instantly integrated into his limbs and the depths of his soul!
His eyes became unusually calm and focused.
Every movement, every expression, and even every breathing rhythm of the gangsters around him were clearly reflected in his mind, as if they were slowed down countless times.
He could clearly sense the trajectory of their attacks, predict their next moves, and their fatal flaws!
“kill!”
The sturdy man holding the steel pipe was the first to rush to Zhang Qiu. He roared, and the steel pipe in his hand, with a whistling force of wind, smashed down hard on Zhang Qiu’s head!
This blow was so powerful that if Zhang Qiu was hit, even with his body that had been microscopically strengthened and blessed with [Bronze – Angel Physique (Weak)], he would probably be bleeding from the head or even suffer a concussion!
But Zhang Qiu didn’t even blink.
At the moment when the steel pipe was about to fall, his body, like a ghost, moved half a step to the left and narrowly avoided the fatal blow!
At the same time, his right leg shot out like a whip, lightning fast, and kicked hard at the knee of the strong man’s right leg that was supporting his body!
A teeth-grinding sound of bones breaking was heard!
The sturdy man felt a heart-wrenching pain in his right knee and he could no longer stand steadily. The steel pipe in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. He hugged his right leg and let out a shrill howl that was not like a human voice. He fell to his knees and rolled on the ground in agony!
One move! Another move!
Zhang Qiu once again took down an enemy with lightning speed and cleanly and neatly!
This completely shocked the other thugs who were about to rush up!
They all looked as if they had seen a ghost, with expressions of disbelief and fear on their faces. They stopped involuntarily and dared not move forward again.
They couldn’t understand why this ordinary-looking young man had such terrifying skills? !
This is not a human being! This is a fucking monster!
Even Liu Chuang, who was standing aside and watching the fight, had an extremely solemn and ugly expression on his face.
He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with shock and a hint of barely perceptible fear.
He knew that today, he might have really offended a tough guy who should not be offended!
Zhang Qiu didn’t give the thugs much time to react.
He took advantage of the moment when they were stunned and launched an attack!
His figure, like an arrow shot from a bow, instantly rushed into the group of gangsters!
He did not use any fancy moves, nor did he mobilize any power beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
He used the most basic and practical fighting techniques – straight punch, swing punch, hook punch, elbow strike, knee strike, whip kick, side kick, etc.
But these seemingly simple moves, in his hands, unleashed unimaginable terrifying power!
Each of his attacks was lightning fast, extremely accurate, and extremely powerful!
His fist was like a hammer. Every time it hit the target, it made a dull thud, making those thugs feel like their bones were about to be broken!
His legs and feet were like steel whips. Every time he kicked out, they would bring up a gust of fierce wind, making those thugs feel like their bodies were about to be blown away!
What made them even more terrified was that Zhang Qiu’s defense was simply impenetrable!
No matter from which angle they attacked, no matter what weapons they used, they could not really hurt Zhang Qiu at all!
Their punches and kicks were either easily dodged by Zhang Qiu, or blocked by him with a clever method, or he could even use the force of their opponent to attack his own people!
Although the passive defense term [Gold – Burning Heart Guardian] can only exert its maximum power when it is used to protect a target, the instinctive foresight of danger and passive defense awareness contained in it also affects Zhang Qiu himself!
This made him seem to have the ability to predict the future. He could always resolve all attacks at the most critical moment, find the opponent’s flaws, and launch a fatal counterattack!
For a moment, the demolition site was filled with people moving around, fists and feet flying, screams, groans, and the “crackling” sound of broken bones!
Those demolition team thugs who were so arrogant and domineering in front of ordinary people were just like a group of lambs to be slaughtered in front of Zhang Qiu, and they had no power to fight back at all!
They were all beaten black and blue, crying for their parents, staggering in disgrace.
In less than three minutes, the seven or eight younger brothers brought by Liu Chuang all lay on the ground, holding their wounds, wailing in pain, and unable to get up again.
The whole scene was horrific.
Zhang Qiu, on the other hand, was still standing leisurely in the center of the venue, without even a speck of dust on his body.
His breathing was still steady and long, and there was no trace of fatigue on his face.
He even seized a fleeting opportunity in the chaotic battle just now and successfully snatched the [Bronze – Street Fighting Skills (Skilled)] entry that he had coveted for a long time from Liu Chuang!
A surge of experience and skills on how to more effectively use various despicable (but very effective in actual combat) fighting methods in street fights instantly flooded into Zhang Qiu’s mind.
This gave him a new understanding and insight into the fighting style that was more inclined towards actual combat rather than formal routines.
He felt that his fighting skills seemed to have improved a little bit.
After dealing with those minions, Zhang Qiu turned his gaze to Liu Chuang who was standing not far away and had not taken any action from beginning to end.
Chapter 52: First Trial (Old Version)
At this moment, the expression on Liu Chuang’s face has changed from the initial arrogance and disdain to incredible shock and deep solemnity.
He could never have imagined that these younger brothers of his who were usually quite capable in fighting would be so vulnerable in front of this seemingly weak young man!
Moreover, from beginning to end, the opponent seemed so relaxed, as if he had not used his full strength at all!
Who is this young man? Why does he have such terrifying skills?
Liu Chuang’s heart was filled with countless questions and a trace of uncontrollable fear.
He realized that he might have really run into a tough guy today! A tough guy that he absolutely couldn’t afford to offend!
Although he has a bad temper and likes to bully the weak, he is not a fool.
He knew that in the face of absolute strength, any arrogance and threats would only bring humiliation to himself.
He subconsciously clenched his fists, and his body tensed slightly, ready to attack at any time.
Although he knew that he might not be the opponent’s match, if the opponent really wanted to harm him, he would not sit there and wait for death.
However, to his surprise, Zhang Qiu did not attack him.
Zhang Qiu just looked at him coldly with a cold and indifferent look.
That kind of look was without any emotion, as if he was looking at an insignificant dead object.
Then, Zhang Qiu turned around and nodded to the old man he had rescued and several other “nail households”, indicating that they could leave.
After doing all this, he turned around and left the messy demolition site leisurely in full view of everyone.
He didn’t walk fast, but every step he took seemed so calm and confident.
It was as if the stunning battle just now was just a trivial warm-up exercise for him.
Looking at Zhang Qiu’s departing back, Liu Chuang’s face was uncertain and his eyes were filled with complex emotions.
He felt angry and humiliated (after all, his own brother was beaten in front of him, how could he, as the boss, save his face?), and also shocked and fearful (the opponent’s horrific skills made him feel a chill in his heart).
He knew that this “little lesson” would be enough to make him have a deep impression on this mysterious young man and make him unforgettable.
But now, he didn’t dare to have any thoughts of revenge.
Because he knew that the gap in strength between himself and the other party was too big.
“Brother Chuangchuang, who the hell is this guy? He’s too good at fighting, isn’t he?”
A younger brother who was lucky enough not to be beaten too badly, covered his red and swollen cheek and said to Liu Chuang with lingering fear.
Liu Chuang did not answer, but looked at the direction where Zhang Qiu disappeared with a gloomy face, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.
He knew that this mysterious young man was definitely not an ordinary person.
There must be some unknown secret hidden in him.
However, Zhang Qiu did not return to his residence immediately after leaving the demolition site.
He knew that his behavior today must have attracted Liu Chuang’s attention and vigilance.
If I disappear now, it might make Liu Chuang more suspicious.
He needed to maintain a certain “sense of mystery” so that Liu Chuang would be unable to figure him out and would feel wary of him.
At the same time, he also needed time to digest and absorb the entry [Bronze – Street Fighting Skills (Skilled)] that he had just plundered, and to be better prepared for the next “intimate contact” with Liu Chuang.
He knew that the “story” between him and Liu Chuang had just begun.
And he had successfully planted a seed of curiosity, awe, and a hint of hostility in the heart of the future “No Star War God”.
In the future, this seed will take root, sprout, and what kind of flower will bloom?
The corners of Zhang Qiu’s mouth once again curled up into a playful smile.
He felt that his trip to the earth seemed to be becoming more and more interesting.
After giving Liu Chuang a small “lesson” at the demolition site, Zhang Qiu did not immediately stop his “search” for future members of the Xiongbinglian.
He knows that time waits for no one and that future cosmic wars may break out at any time. He must find those “protagonists” who are entrusted with “destiny” as soon as possible and obtain the “nutrients” he needs from them.
Over the next period of time, Zhang Qiu continued to operate in Juxia City and its surrounding areas.
He is like a tireless hunter, searching for those “super gene lurkers” hiding under ordinary appearance in the vast crowd.
Relying on his vague memory of the “plot” of his previous life and the sporadic information about the Earth’s super genes obtained from Angel Yan, coupled with his observation and analytical abilities that far exceeded ordinary people, as well as some simple and effective “technical means” (such as invading the city’s surveillance system, checking household registration information, etc.), his search went relatively smoothly.
Soon, he found several future core members of the Xiongbinglian.
The first person he found was Qilin, a policewoman who was interning at a grassroots police station of the Juxia City Public Security Bureau.
Qilin is a heroic young policewoman who is full of justice and youthful vitality.
She has a neat short hair, delicate and heroic features, and clear and firm eyes.
She was wearing a neat police uniform, which made her look tall and straight and heroic.
When Zhang Qiu first met Qilin, she was directing traffic at a busy intersection.
Although the sun was scorching and traffic was endless, she still made every gesture meticulously and patiently directed the congested vehicles and crowds.
Fine beads of sweat were oozing out of her forehead, and the back of her police uniform was already soaked with sweat, but there was no complaint or impatience on her face. Instead, it was full of love and sense of responsibility for this job.
Zhang Qiu also found several very valuable entries in Qilin:
[Name: Qilin][Level: Zero (mortal, physical fitness is better than that of ordinary women)][Status: Serious on duty, slightly tired, passionate about upholding justice][Silver – Precision Shooting (Talent)]: Passive/Talent item.
He has an innate shooting talent that far exceeds that of ordinary people, and has a strong intuition and perception of factors such as ballistic trajectory, wind speed, and distance. He can maintain extremely high shooting accuracy in a variety of complex environments.
Chapter 53 System Prompt (Old Version)
[Gold – Police Honor]: Passive/Belief entry.
They have a high sense of honor and mission for the police profession, firmly believe that justice will prevail over evil, and are willing to give everything, even their lives, to maintain social order and protect people’s safety.
[Bronze – Martial Arts (Police Grappling)]: Passive item.
By mastering some basic police grappling and fighting skills, one can effectively subdue some common criminal suspects.
[Bronze – Keen Observation (Professional Habit)]: Passive term.
Due to long-term police work, he has developed a keen observation ability and can easily discover some details and anomalies that are difficult for ordinary people to detect.
Seeing these entries, Zhang Qiu’s heart was once again filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Especially the [Silver – Precision Shooting (Talent)] entry, and the [Gold – Police Honor] entry that shines with dazzling golden light, which makes him salivate!
Precision shooting is undoubtedly a very important long-range firepower output capability on the battlefield of the future! If he can plunder this entry, his fighting style will become more diverse and flexible.
And that [Gold – Police Honor] is an extremely rare high-quality entry involving belief and will! This entry can not only enhance his spiritual strength and determination, but it may even produce unimaginable special effects at certain critical moments!
Zhang Qiu knew that he had to target Qilin!
In addition to Qilin, Zhang Qiu also found two other future members of the Xiongbinglian.
One is a young girl named Rui Mengmeng who works in an ordinary fast food restaurant.
Rui Mengmeng looks a little thin and timid, and there is always a hint of inferiority and cowardice on her face.
Wearing a cheap, ill-fitting work suit, she would silently busy herself in the greasy kitchen or serve tea and water in a crowded restaurant, and from time to time she would be harassed and scolded by some customers.
Most of the entries Zhang Qiu found about her were negative or common ones, such as [Bronze – inferiority and cowardice (lack of self-confidence)], [Bronze – experience working in a fast food restaurant (proficient in various odd jobs)], [Bronze – kind and simple (easy to trust others)], etc.
The only thing that surprised Zhang Qiu was a potential entry shrouded in gray mist and emitting a dim silver light – [? ? ? – Fearless Charge (not activated)].
The system is unable to detect the specific effect of this entry for the time being, but judging from the words “fearless charge”, it seems to be related to a certain kind of courageous fighting will.
Zhang Qiu speculated that this might be the key for Rui Mengmeng to become the “No Star’s sharp knife” in the future and charge forward fearlessly on the battlefield.
Another person found by Zhang Qiu was Zhao Xin, a sprinter who was receiving professional training at the Juxia City Sports School.
Zhao Xin has unruly yellow hair, a lean and agile figure, and is full of explosive power.
He has a cheerful and somewhat eccentric personality. He likes to be clever and show off in front of girls.
When Zhang Qiu found him, he was doing brutal speed running training on the track and field.
He is as fast as lightning, and every start and sprint is full of amazing explosive power and visual impact.
Most of the entries Zhang Qiu found on Zhao Xin were related to his speed and athleticism:
[Silver – Ultimate Sprint (Talent)]: Passive/Talent item.
He has an innate short-distance explosive sprint ability that far exceeds that of ordinary people, and can increase his speed to the extreme in an instant.
[Bronze – Track and Field Training Experience (Professional Level)]: Passive item.
He has received long-term professional track and field training and mastered scientific running techniques and methods of allocating physical energy.
[Bronze – Being clever (sometimes works, sometimes not)]: Active/passive term.
He likes to use some clever tricks to achieve his goals, but the results are often unsatisfactory.
[? ? ? -Power of the Dexing (not activated, shrouded in fog)]: Core/potential term.
The body contains a super gene from the Denor galaxy – a gene fragment of “The Power of the Denor Star”.
This gene can give the host unimaginable movement speed and reaction ability. Once fully activated, it will become the most deadly ghost on the battlefield.
Another golden potential entry shrouded in mist! [Power of the Virtuous Star]!
Zhang Qiu felt his heartbeat starting to speed up again.
The legendary super genes such as the Power of the Galaxy, the God of War of No Star, and the Power of De Star were all found by him so “easily”!
He felt like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar, and was so happy that he almost fainted.
Zhang Qiu did not rush to take action on these newly discovered targets.
He knew that each target had different personality traits and behavior patterns, requiring him to develop different “strategies” plans.
Like a patient hunter, he continued to observe them in secret, collecting all the information about them, analyzing their potential entries and character weaknesses, waiting for the best time to “harvest”.
Among all the targets, Zhang Qiu decided to start with the policewoman Qilin.
Because the two items on Qilin – [Silver – Accurate Shooting (Talent)] and [Gold – Police Honor], are so attractive to him.
Moreover, Qilin’s integrity, courage, and sense of justice also made him feel that dealing with her might be a little easier than dealing with Ge Xiaolun, the internet-addicted teenager, or Liu Chuang, the street fighter.
Of course, he also knew that although Qilin was young, she was a professionally trained police officer after all, and her vigilance must be very high.
If you want to get close to her and plunder entries from her, you need careful planning.
So, Zhang Qiu used the same old trick again and began to tailor a “hero saves the beauty” scene for Qilin.
He spent some time and effort, and through some special channels (such as obtaining intelligence from some gangsters who had been “taught a lesson” by him, or using hacker technology to monitor the communication records of some criminals), he learned in advance that a group of habitual thieves who were roaming around Juxia City were preparing to carry out a large-scale theft in the area that Qilin was responsible for patrolling.
Chapter 54: Blue Star (Old Version)
This gang of habitual thieves are skilled in their methods and have secretive whereabouts. They have successfully committed many crimes and have caused considerable trouble to the public security in Juxia City.
The police have been tracking down their whereabouts but have not been able to catch them all.
Zhang Qiu knew that this was a great opportunity.
He arrived in advance near the place where the gang of thieves planned to commit the crime, and using his perception and observation abilities that far exceeded those of ordinary people, he found an excellent ambush position, and then waited patiently.
Sure enough, not long after, the gang of habitual thieves showed up at the crime scene just as expected.
With clear division of labor and tacit cooperation, they quickly pried open the back door of a jewelry store, sneaked in, and began to loot the store.
Just as they succeeded and were about to flee the scene with the stolen goods, Qilin, who was in charge of patrolling nearby, happened to arrive.
“Stop! Police! Don’t run!”
Qilin let out a delicate cry, immediately drew the pistol from her waist, and chased after the group of thieves who were fleeing.
But the group of thieves were obviously experienced veterans. They were very familiar with the surrounding terrain and used various obstacles for cover. They soon left Qilin behind for a distance.
Although Qilin was running quite fast, he was alone after all, and he also had to consider the safety of innocent people around him. He did not dare to shoot easily, and for a moment, he was unable to catch up.
Seeing that the gang of thieves were about to disappear in the complex streets and alleys, Qilin’s heart was filled with anxiety and unwillingness.
At this critical moment, a nimble figure suddenly flashed out from an inconspicuous corner nearby, and like an arrow, rushed to the fleeing thieves in an instant!
It’s Zhang Qiu!
The timing of his appearance was just right, neither too early nor too late, just when Qilin was about to lose her target, and the thieves had slightly relaxed their vigilance because they were about to escape successfully.
“There is a road to heaven but you don’t take it, there is no door to hell but you break in!”
The corner of Zhang Qiu’s mouth curled up in an icy arc, and his eyes flashed with a sharp cold light.
He didn’t use any fancy moves, nor did he utilize any power beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
He simply relied on the agility and accurate judgment brought by [Silver – Basic Fighting Skills], as well as the physical support provided by [Bronze – Angelic Constitution (Weak)], and rushed into the group of thieves like a tiger into a flock of sheep!
His speed is as fast as lightning!
His movements are clean and neat!
Every move he made accurately hit the thieves’ vital points and weak links!
All that could be heard was a series of muffled “bang bang bang” sounds and shrill screams!
Those habitual thieves who were extremely ferocious in front of ordinary people were just like a group of chickens waiting to be slaughtered in front of Zhang Qiu, and they had no power to fight back at all!
In less than a minute, the group of five or six habitual thieves were all knocked to the ground by Zhang Qiu. They were all bruised and swollen, crying for their parents, and could not get up again.
Zhang Qiu even took the opportunity to confiscate all the stolen jewelry.
When Qilin rushed to the scene breathlessly, what she saw was such a stunned scene.
The gang of habitual thieves who had given her a headache before were now all lying on the ground wailing and rolling around, while an ordinary-looking young man was standing beside them with a calm face, stepping on the head of a thief who was trying to resist.
“What’s going on?”
Qilin couldn’t believe her eyes.
When Zhang Qiu saw Qilin coming, he immediately showed a simple and friendly smile on his face, pointed at the thieves and stolen goods on the ground, and said in a tone of seeking credit: “Officer, I have caught these thieves for you.
All the stolen goods are here, not a single one is missing.”
Qilin was stunned for a long time before finally reacting.
She looked at Zhang Qiu, her eyes filled with surprise, confusion, and a hint of indescribable gratitude and curiosity.
She couldn’t figure out who this young man who suddenly appeared was, why he had such powerful skills, and how he knew these thieves would commit crimes here?
But no matter what, he helped himself catch these hateful thieves and recovered huge losses.
“Thank you!”
There was a hint of genuine gratitude in Qilin’s tone, “What’s your name? How did you do it?”
Zhang Qiu smiled slightly and began his carefully prepared speech: “My name is Zhang Qiu.
I served in the army for several years and learned some fighting skills.
I happened to pass by here just now and saw these thieves committing a crime, so I offered to help them.
It’s just a small favor, officer, you don’t have to be polite.”
He cleverly set his identity as a “veteran” and attributed his strong skills to “serving in the army and learning fighting skills.”
Such an explanation is both reasonable and unlikely to arouse suspicion.
When Qilin heard Zhang Qiu say that he was a “veteran”, a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes.
She has always had great respect for soldiers.
“So you are a veteran, comrade. I am so sorry for your disrespect!”
Qilin’s tone became more friendly and kind, “However, your skills just now are not just as simple as ‘learning some fighting skills’, right? I chased them for a long time just now, but I couldn’t catch up with them.
You actually subdued them all by yourself, it’s really amazing!”
Zhang Qiu smiled modestly and said, “Haha, maybe I’m just lucky.
These thieves may look fierce, but they are actually just weak guys with no real skills. “
He did not show off his strength too much, but attributed the credit to “good luck” and “the thief was too weak.”
This humble attitude actually made Qilin feel good about him.
After a brief exchange of words, Qilin began to deal with the scene.
She called for backup, cuffed all the injured thieves, and counted and registered the stolen goods.
Zhang Qiu stood by, silently “assisting” her, and from time to time he would “inadvertently” show some of his “unique insights” and “deep understanding” of police work (these, of course, were also learned and prepared in advance from the materials in the library and his observations of Qilin).
For example, he would remind Qilin to pay attention to protecting the traces and evidence at the scene, to inform the suspect of his rights, to pay attention to the storage and handover procedures of the stolen goods, etc.
Chapter 55: Into the Great Canyon (Old Version)
His “professional” performance made Qilin look at him with even greater respect.
She felt that the veteran in front of her named Zhang Qiu was not only extremely skilled, but also very knowledgeable about police work. He was truly a rare talent.
After handling the scene, Qilin took the initiative to ask Zhang Qiu for his contact information and enthusiastically invited him to go to the shooting range to practice shooting skills when they had time.
She could see that Zhang Qiu seemed to be quite knowledgeable about firearms.
When talking with her just now, Zhang Qiu “inadvertently” mentioned several opinions on gun maintenance and shooting essentials, which made her feel refreshed and benefited a lot.
Zhang Qiu naturally agreed happily.
His original purpose was to get close to Qilin and find an opportunity to plunder her of the [Silver – Precision Shooting (Talent)] entry.
It would be great to be able to go to the shooting range with her for a “friendly exchange”.
In this way, Zhang Qiu successfully gained the initial favor and trust of policewoman Qilin with a carefully planned “hero saves the beauty” drama, his “superb” acting skills and “profound” knowledge, and laid a good foundation for the subsequent “entry plundering” plan.
A few days later, Zhang Qiu arrived at the internal shooting range of the Juxia City Public Security Bureau as scheduled, ready to have a “friendly” shooting skills exchange with Qilin.
In the shooting range, the sound of gunfire continued.
Many young policemen in uniform are conducting daily shooting training here.
Qilin was already waiting there.
She didn’t wear a police uniform today, but instead changed into a smart sports outfit, which made her look more agile and heroic.
Seeing Zhang Qiu coming, Qilin showed a bright smile on her face and took the initiative to step forward to greet him.
“Zhang Qiu, you’re here! I thought you were going to stand me up!”
There was a hint of teasing in Qilin’s tone.
“How could that be? It is a great honor for me to have the opportunity to compare skills with a sharpshooter like Officer Qilin.”
Zhang Qiu also replied with a smile.
After a few brief greetings, the two of them went to the shooting position together.
Qilin first picked up a standard police pistol, skillfully loaded the magazine, pulled the bolt, and then fired several rounds in succession at a fixed target in the distance.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The gunshots were crisp and melodious.
The bullet hit the bull’s eye accurately, achieving a very beautiful result.
“How is it? Is it okay?”
Qilin raised her eyebrows at Zhang Qiu with some pride.
Zhang Qiu sincerely praised: “Officer Qilin is indeed worthy of her reputation! Her shooting skills are simply superb!”
His words were not entirely compliments. Qilin’s shooting talent was indeed amazing.
Next, Qilin demonstrated to Zhang Qiu her skills in moving target shooting.
I saw her moving flexibly and quickly between different shooting positions, but the pistol in her hand was always as steady as a rock. Every shot could accurately hit the fast-moving targets.
Her movements were smooth and seamless, full of power and beauty.
Zhang Qiu watched intently from the side, secretly admiring in his heart.
He knew that the reason why Qilin had such an outstanding moving target shooting ability was largely due to a very important sub-entry under her [Silver – Precision Shooting (Talent)] entry – [Silver – Dynamic Visual Capture].
This sub-entry allows her to maintain clear visual capture and accurate locking of the target even when moving at high speed.
This is simply a magical skill for moving target shooting!
Zhang Qiu also showed great interest in the term [Silver-Dynamic Visual Capture].
If he could plunder this entry, his visual capture ability would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.
This not only enhances his shooting accuracy, but also gives him a huge advantage in fighting, driving, and even in observation and analysis.
So, he began to skillfully use language to guide Qilin to conduct more intensive dynamic shooting training.
“Officer Qilin, your moving target shooting skills are amazing! Can I watch and learn more?”
Zhang Qiu said in a tone full of “admiration” and “desire”.
“No problem!”
Qilin was very pleased with Zhang Qiu’s “eager to learn” attitude, and she readily agreed, “You can watch as long as you want!”
So, in the following period of time, under Zhang Qiu’s “request” and “encouragement”, Qilin continued to carry out various difficult dynamic shooting training.
Sometimes she ran quickly, sometimes she rolled to dodge, and sometimes she moved in a narrow space, but she never stopped shooting with the pistol in her hand.
Her every breath, every aim, every prediction, and every muscle control were carefully observed and recorded by Zhang Qiu.
Gradually, a layer of fine sweat beads appeared on Qilin’s forehead and her breathing became a little rapid.
Although she was still highly focused, she began to feel a little bit tired.
Zhang Qiu knew that his chance had come!
He took advantage of the moment when Qilin had just completed a set of high-intensity dynamic shooting training and was a little relaxed, and her willpower had decreased due to fatigue, and quietly activated the [Plunder Entry System]!
His target was the [Silver – Dynamic Visual Capture] sub-item that was actively flashing on Qilin’s body!
Since Qilin was in a pleasant state of “teaching and learning from each other” at the moment, she also had a certain liking and trust for Zhang Qiu, and her attention was mostly focused on the shooting itself, so she did not notice Zhang Qiu’s little movements.
In addition, Zhang Qiu learned from his previous lesson this time and did not become greedy. Instead, he only chose a relatively low-level sub-item to plunder.
Therefore, the entire looting process went extremely smoothly!
“Ding! Detected that the target is highly focused and slightly tired, with a slight fluctuation in willpower! The success rate of plundering has increased!”
“The plunder was successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the [Silver – Dynamic Vision Capture] entry!”
The moment the system prompt sounded, Zhang Qiu felt a sudden cool and comfortable feeling in his eyes!
He felt that his vision seemed to have become sharper and clearer in an instant!
He can capture fast-moving targets more easily, determine the target’s movement trajectory and speed more accurately, and can even predict the target’s next move to a certain extent!
Chapter 56: Human Conditions (Old Version)
He knew that his visual capture ability had instantly been elevated to a higher level!
At this time, Qilin didn’t seem to notice anything unusual.
She just felt that her eyes seemed to be more tired than usual, but she didn’t think much about it, thinking it was because her training intensity today was too high.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to Zhang Qiu with a smile, “How was it? Zhang Qiu, my performance today was not bad, right?”
Zhang Qiu immediately showed an expression of astonishment, and praised sincerely: “Officer Qilin, you are really amazing! Your dynamic shooting skills are simply the best I have ever seen! I have really broadened my horizons today and benefited a lot!”
His words were not entirely compliments.
Qilin’s shooting talent is indeed worthy of praise.
Of course, he should be more grateful to Qilin for “selflessly” contributing her valuable [Dynamic Visual Capture] entry.
After successfully plundering this important sub-entry, Zhang Qiu did not leave immediately.
He also accompanied Qilin in some fixed-target shooting exercises, and “inadvertently” showed some of his “unique insights” into shooting techniques (most of these insights were based on the [Dynamic Visual Capture] entry he had just acquired, as well as his analysis and summary of Qilin’s shooting methods).
Qilin was very surprised and impressed by his “insights”.
She found that although Zhang Qiu claimed to be just an “amateur shooting enthusiast”, his understanding of shooting theory and grasp of some detailed techniques were even deeper and more unique than those of some professional shooting coaches.
The two of them had a great conversation at the shooting range, and seemed to feel that they had met too late.
Through this “friendly” shooting exchange, Zhang Qiu not only successfully plundered the important entry [Silver-Dynamic Visual Capture], but also further deepened the “friendship” between him and Qilin.
He knew that he was one step closer to completely “conquering” this future sharpshooter.
And which “lamb to be slaughtered” will he turn his attention to next?
The corners of Zhang Qiu’s mouth once again curled up into a smile full of expectation.
His “Earth Leek Harvest Plan” is proceeding in an orderly and smooth manner.
After successfully “conquering” the policewoman Qilin and snatching the important sub-entry of [Silver – Dynamic Visual Capture] from her, Zhang Qiu did not stop his “search” for future members of the Hero Company.
His eyes quickly shifted to the next target – Rui Mengmeng, the girl who worked in a fast food restaurant and looked a little inferior and cowardly.
According to Zhang Qiu’s memory, Rui Mengmeng will become a very important assaulter in the Xiongbing Company in the future, code-named “No Star Sharp Knife”.
Although she is introverted and not good at speaking, she possesses the courage to face death and the indomitable spirit of charging forward on the battlefield.
Zhang Qiu was very interested in the potential entry of [??? – Fearless Pioneer (not activated)] on Rui Mengmeng, which was shrouded in gray mist.
He wanted to know what kind of powerful power was hidden in this girl who looked harmless and even timid.
So he came to the fast food restaurant where Rui Mengmeng worked, which was located near the commercial district of Juxia City.
This fast food restaurant is very popular, especially during the peak hours of lunch and dinner, the store is always crowded and every seat is full.
Zhang Qiu found an inconspicuous corner and sat down, ordered the cheapest set meal, and then began to observe quietly.
Soon, he found the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar figure among the busy restaurant waiters.
Rui Mengmeng was wearing a pair of cheap work clothes that didn’t fit her well and were washed to a pale color. She also had on an equally cheap baseball cap with the brim pulled down low, as if to cover her face.
She was a little thin and her face looked pale due to long-term malnutrition and fatigue.
She was carrying a heavy tray, moving clumsily and carefully between the crowded tables, afraid of accidentally bumping into a guest or knocking over the food in her hands.
Her movements seemed a little slow and uncoordinated, and she was clearly out of place compared to the other waiters who were quick and agile.
From time to time, there would be some bad-tempered customers who would yell at her or even speak badly to her because the food was served slowly or a little soup was spilled.
Every time this happened, Rui Mengmeng would tremble with fear, lower her head quickly, and keep apologizing in an almost pleading tone: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it, please forgive me”
Her voice was as thin as a mosquito’s, full of inferiority and cowardice, which made people feel pity for her.
Zhang Qiu looked at the scene in front of him and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Is this the “No Star Sharp Knife” of the future that will be invincible on the battlefield and terrify the enemy?
If he didn’t know her identity in advance, he would never be able to associate this timid and bullied little girl in front of him with the brave and fearless female warrior.
He quietly activated the [Plunder Entry System] and observed the entry information above Rui Mengmeng’s head again.
[Name: Rui Mengmeng][Level: Zero (mortal, physical fitness slightly lower than that of ordinary women of the same age)][Status: Tired, inferior, confused and helpless about the future][Bronze – Inferiority and Cowardice (Lack of Self-Confidence)]: Passive term.
Due to long-term life pressure and negative experiences, he has an extremely inferior and cowardly character, lacks self-confidence and independent thinking, and is easily influenced and bullied by others.
[Bronze – Kind and Simple (Easy to Trust Others)]: Passive term.
They are kind and simple-minded at heart, lack a sense of guard against others, easily believe what others say, and are also easily exploited by others.
[Bronze – Fast food restaurant work experience (proficient in various odd jobs)]: Passive entry.
After working in a fast food restaurant for many years, he has mastered the “special” skills of serving plates, washing dishes, mopping the floor, and dealing with all kinds of weird customers.
[Bronze – Submission (habitual endurance)]: Passive term.
We have habitually chosen to endure and give in to the injustice and bullying in life, and lack the courage and awareness to resist.
[? ? ? -Fearless Pioneer (inactivated, shrouded in gray fog)]: Core/potential item.
Chapter 57 Searching for Target (Old Version)
The body contains some special super gene fragments related to “fearlessness” and “charge”.
Once activated, this gene will endow the host with a fearless, indomitable and terrifying fighting will and assault capability on the battlefield.
(Current status: The gene is in a deep latent state, suppressed or interfered by unknown forces, and specific information cannot be detected.
Seeing these entries, Zhang Qiu felt mixed emotions.
The bronze-level negative attributes on Rui Mengmeng, such as [inferiority and cowardice], [submission], etc., made him feel distressed and regretful.
He knew that these entries were the cruel marks left on her by real life.
But at the same time, he was also deeply attracted by the golden potential entry of [??? – Fearless Pioneer (not activated)] that was locked in the gray mist.
He knew that this seemingly harmless and even somewhat pitiful girl also had a powerful force in her body that was enough to change the world! However, this power was still dormant and needed a suitable opportunity to be awakened.
Zhang Qiu showed great interest in these king-level or gold-level potential entries that were in an “unactivated” state.
Whether it is Ge Xiaolun’s [Power of the Galaxy], Liu Chuang’s [God of War of No Star], or Rui Mengmeng’s [Fearless Pioneer], these entries are like huge treasures that have not yet been mined, waiting for him to discover and “harvest”.
Through systematic analysis and his understanding of the “plot” of his previous life, he began to speculate on the activation conditions of these “unactivated” entries.
He believes that the activation process of these powerful super genes may not happen overnight, but requires some specific external stimulation or special energy guidance.
For example, strong life-threatening danger.
When the host faces a life-and-death situation, the instinct for survival may instantly stimulate the power hidden deep in the genes.
For example, strong emotional fluctuations.
When the host experiences strong emotional shocks such as extreme anger, sadness, joy, or love and hate, these emotional energies may also become catalysts for activating genes.
Another example is special energy guidance.
Perhaps, some specific cosmic rays or some mysterious energy source are needed to awaken these dormant genes.
It is even possible that some special resonance or connection is needed with other individuals with super genes in order to jointly activate each other’s power.
Zhang Qiu began to think silently in his heart how to create a “suitable” activation environment for these future “seed players” without arousing anyone’s suspicion.
Or, to be more direct, can he “harvest” them immediately the moment the super genes in their bodies are activated?
In that case, would the “entry quality” he could obtain be higher? Would the success rate of plundering also be greater?
These questions were like seeds full of temptation, taking root and sprouting in his heart.
Of course, he also knew that the difficulty and risk of artificially intervening in the fate of these “children of destiny” and profiting from it were also enormous.
If you are not careful, you may end up playing with fire and get burned, or even bring about some unpredictable catastrophic consequences.
He must be careful and cautious at every step.
In order to better understand these mysterious and powerful super genes, Zhang Qiu decided to start from a more basic level and explore the mysteries behind them.
He began to use the knowledge of genetic engineering and life sciences he had obtained from the angel civilization, as well as some genetic engineering teaching materials and simple equipment he purchased through special channels on Earth (such as black market transactions or searches from some abandoned scientific research institutions), to secretly set up a small genetic research laboratory in a hidden basement.
He began to try to conduct preliminary analysis and research on some genetic samples extracted from Earth creatures (such as mice, rabbits, and even some insects).
He learned how to extract DNA, how to sequence genes, how to edit and reprogram genes
Although the equipment in his hands was very simple and his knowledge was still very shallow, compared with the real genetic scientists in the Melo Heaven, he was nothing.
However, relying on the strong hands-on ability and comprehension ability brought by the [Gold – Precision Repair] entry, as well as the auxiliary analysis secretly provided by the [Plunder Entry System], he managed to make some insignificant progress in this new field.
He also compared and analyzed the characteristic information of the “super genes” he observed from Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuang, Qilin, Rui Mengmeng and others (although most of them were shrouded in mystery) with the records of the “Shenhe gene sequence” in the library.
He discovered that these so-called “super genes” seemed to be inextricably linked to an ancient and powerful genetic template from the depths of the universe called the “Shenhe gene sequence.”
It’s just that this “Shenhe gene sequence” shows different branches and characteristics in different individuals due to different evolutionary directions and environmental influences.
For example, Ge Xiaolun’s “Power of the Galaxy” may be more inclined to the control of dark energy and the understanding of the rules of the universe.
Liu Chuang’s “No Star War God” is more inclined to pure physical strength and fighting instinct.
Qilin’s “sharpshooter” talent (although she did not directly show any entries related to the “Shenhe gene”, Zhang Qiu guessed that her talent might also be related to some special gene fragment) is more inclined towards super dynamic vision and accurate shooting ability.
Rui Mengmeng’s “Fearless Pioneer” may be more inclined to strong fighting will and assault ability.
These discoveries gave Zhang Qiu a deeper understanding of the nature of “super genes”.
He also realized that if he wanted to truly master and utilize the power of these super genes, or even if he wanted to perfectly “plunder” them for himself, he would probably need to conduct more in-depth research and exploration of the “Shenhe Gene Sequence” itself.
This road is destined to be long and difficult.
But Zhang Qiu was full of confidence and expectation.
Because he knew that once he could successfully unlock the secrets of these “super genes”, the power he would be able to gain would be unimaginable!
Chapter 58 Internet Addicted Teenager (Old Version)
The peaceful and fulfilling days of lurking and research did not last long.
Just when Zhang Qiu was racking his brains over how to “conquer” Rui Mengmeng and how to further study the “Shenhe Gene Sequence”, a sudden change disrupted all his plans and also indicated that this planet was about to face an unprecedented huge crisis.
One evening, a UFO crashed suddenly in the offshore area of Juxia City!
According to some eyewitnesses, it was a huge, flaming metal object that fell from the sky, trailing a long trail of black smoke, and eventually fell into the deep sea dozens of kilometers away, causing huge waves.
Then, in the next few days, some hideous and aggressive alien creatures began to appear on the coastline around Juxia City!
These alien creatures are generally over two meters tall, with dull gray-green skin and covered with hard shells and bone spurs.
Their heads are huge and ugly, with a pair of blood-red compound eyes, their mouths are full of sharp fangs, and they wield all kinds of strange energy weapons in their hands.
They are the vanguard reconnaissance troops from the distant Taotie civilization!
As soon as these Taotie scouts appeared, they launched indiscriminate attacks on military facilities and civilian targets near the coastline!
Although their numbers are small, their individual combat effectiveness far exceeds that of ordinary Earth soldiers.
The energy weapons in their hands can easily destroy the tanks and armored vehicles of the Earth Army.
The hard shells on their bodies can also effectively resist the shooting of conventional firearms in the hands of Earth soldiers.
For a time, the coastline around Juxia City was filled with smoke and flames of war!
The local garrison troops responded immediately and engaged in a fierce firefight with the invading Taotie scouts.
However, due to the huge gap between the two sides in weapons and equipment and individual strength, the Earth army suffered heavy casualties.
This sudden alien invasion plunged the entire Juxia City into panic and chaos.
The news media are flooded with reports about “UFO crashes” and “alien attacks.”
Various speculations and rumors also spread rapidly among the citizens.
Although the government is trying hard to control the situation and calm the people, the doomsday-like fear is still spreading like a plague in every corner of the city.
When Zhang Qiu heard the news, he was slightly surprised.
He knew that the invasion of the Taotie civilization was something that would happen sooner or later.
But he didn’t expect it to come so soon!
This was much earlier than he remembered, when the Taotie invaded the Earth on a large scale.
It seems that these should be just some initial exploratory attacks on the earth by the Taotie civilization that have not been recorded in the “plot”.
Although it is only an initial test, the destructive power and threat it has demonstrated are enough to make the human beings on Earth feel despair.
However, for Zhang Qiu, this sudden alien invasion was not entirely a bad thing.
He realized that this was not only a great opportunity to observe these alien invaders up close and plunder entries from them; it was also a good opportunity to demonstrate his own value, attract the attention of high-ranking military officials on Earth, and even pave the way for his future entry into the “Heroic Company”!
He knew that he could no longer lurk in the dark as he had done before.
He must take action!
When the Taotie team raided an important radar monitoring station on the seashore, Zhang Qiu “happened” to be “sightseeing” nearby.
This radar station is a very important node in Juxia City’s coastal defense system. Once destroyed, it will have a huge impact on the defense of the entire city.
At that time, there were only a few soldiers and technicians on duty in the radar station. Faced with the sudden attack of a dozen Taotie soldiers armed to the teeth, they were unable to resist and soon suffered heavy casualties and were in danger.
Just when the radar station was about to be captured by the Taotie soldiers and everyone was in despair, a figure suddenly appeared on the battlefield like a god descending from the sky!
He was still wearing ordinary casual clothes, with a hint of “just right” panic and helplessness on his face, looking like an innocent civilian caught in the war.
However, his eyes were unusually calm and sharp!
“Don’t panic, everyone! I’m a veteran! Follow my instructions! Get cover!”
Zhang Qiu shouted in an unquestionable tone to the terrified radar station staff and surviving soldiers.
His voice seemed to carry a strange magic that rekindled a glimmer of hope in those who had fallen into despair.
Subconsciously, they began to follow Zhang Qiu’s command, looking for cover and resisting.
But Zhang Qiu himself did not hide behind the cover.
He took a deep breath, and at this moment, the combat items in his body, such as [Silver – Basic Fighting Skills], [Gold – Burning Heart Guardian (Passive Defense Skills)], and [Silver – Dynamic Visual Capture], were all quietly activated at the same time!
He doesn’t use any weapons or abilities that are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
He simply picked up an ordinary Type 95 automatic rifle and several spare magazines from a dead soldier.
Then, like a most experienced and skilled special forces king, he started a thrilling maneuvering and hunting battle with those ferocious Taotie soldiers in the complex terrain of the radar station!
His shooting skills are incredibly accurate!
With the super visual ability brought by [Silver-Dynamic Visual Capture] and his accurate prediction of the ballistic trajectory, the ordinary automatic rifle in his hand seemed to have turned into an indestructible sniper weapon!
Every time a gunshot is heard, a Taotie soldier will fall to the ground!
Moreover, the targets he attacked were all extremely tricky and deadly! Either the red-glowing compound eyes of the Taotie soldiers, or the gaps between their carapaces, or the energy cores of the energy weapons in their hands!
These are the most vulnerable and deadly parts of the Taotie soldiers!
His body movements were as agile as a ghost!
He made use of various shelters and obstacles in the radar station, constantly changing his position, sometimes rushing forward, sometimes making detours, and sometimes taking advantage of blind spots to launch sneak attacks.
