Silly Child, I'm Your Mom!
"So, what should I do first? Use Forbidden Spells to destroy the defenses and let the Magic Beast Tide into this human area? Or try to cooperate with the monsters?"
As he pondered, he made his move. A skill on his Career Panel flashed, and Mana upheaval in the environment instantly turned the group of thieves who were trying to break into the door into ashes.
"Cooperate with Warcraft."
A voice, seemingly from nowhere, responded to Ming Yuanwu's thoughts.
"Warcraft cooperation? But I don't know much about the social structure of Warcraft, or even whether they can cooperate rationally. I only know that the Demon King has the ability to Command all Warcraft."
Ming Yuanwu subconsciously analyzed and answered.
The next instant, his face darkened.
"It's better than directly slaughtering Mortal Realm beings, isn't it?" the voice continued, its tone light and casual, as if it were chatting. "The Career Panel is a tool used by the Gods to shepherd all living beings. Initiating a large-scale massacre might trigger some kind of monitoring mechanism. If you attract the attention of the Gods before you attract the Demon King, that would be interesting."
A cold sweat broke out on Ming Yuanwu's back. He cautiously asked, "Who... who are you?"
Damn it, this is the third Transcendent Rank entity he's encountered since Crossing; he seems to be quite popular.
"Silly child, I'm your mother!"
The voice became more enthusiastic.
"Mom!" Ming Yuanwu called out without hesitation.
Holy crap, his mother has cancer and is still in the hospital waiting for chemotherapy, how could this be?!
"Mom, is there something wrong with me?"
Ming Yuanwu then asked.
He suddenly had a strong feeling that this would be the key to breaking free from his current predetermined Fate.
As a chess piece, the more people willing to move it, the higher the risk, the greater the opportunity, and the higher the value!
The Goddess of Light wants him to be a hero, the Evil God wants him to be a pawn, and now there's this one who calls herself "Mom." Whoever it is, they might all be leverage he can use.
"I'm the cheat code your hometown gave you; all time Crossing get cheat codes."
After saying that, the voice did something, Ming Yuanwu instantly felt an extreme sense of familiarity.
That's the feeling of home, a deep sense of belonging, like coming home after a long day in the sweltering summer heat, taking a not-too-cold shower, and then relaxing in an air-conditioned room with your bird...
A petite figure appeared in Ming Tianwu's mind. Even though he didn't recognize her at all, he still felt a sense of attachment.
Ming Yuanwu was instantly overwhelmed with emotion, tears streaming down his face like warm water from a wet bed. The frustration and bewilderment he had felt after his Crossing exploded within him.
"Waaaaah, damn it, why the hell did you take so long to get here? Do you even know what I've been through these past few days? Awooo--"
Gao Fu has been having a tough time lately.
As Silver Badge, he naturally teamed up with others in the region to play in the District Wars.
The District War phase went quite smoothly. All the Survivors in Darkness Survival were very restrained during the District War phase. Even without helping each other or engaging in large-scale battles, they tried their best to avoid internal strife.
However, during the Continued Battle phase, he encountered some truly monstrous Survivor in the team, he felt obligated to fight, only to be utterly destroyed by other Survivors who were also at the 20-point mark.
If he hadn't escaped through Dreamscape, he would have died long ago. Fortunately, civilization wasn't destroyed.
I've been preparing for the Trait Dungeon recently, and I've been participating for a week now, averaging four runs a day, but I've only ever been a runner-up.
Logically speaking, Gao Fu is very strong. As one of the first Survivors in the region to raise all three Attributes to 20, he has also maxed out a large number of blue skills.
His panel data is ridiculously strong; he even participated in the regional Martial Will training program, which allows him to anticipate the enemy's attack intentions in battle and unleash a reaction speed far exceeding his usual speed at crucial moments.
But damn it, the other Survivors aren't pushovers either.
The maximum value of the three Attributes is already the minimum requirement for the current Trait Dungeons. Mastering all one's abilities to reach the limit of blue skills is also a basic requirement...
This group of people possesses a wide variety of Talents and other methods, resulting in an extremely terrifying expansion of their horizontal strength. Their Gao Fu Talents do not increase their combat power, and their Martial Will is biased towards defense and control, making them completely unbeatable.
As a result, competitive Dungeons frequently fail, and newly released story- Trait Dungeons also struggle to keep up with the pace, failing to break through the current limits.
Therefore, involution is deadly.
"Damn it, why didn't you assign me a Dreamscape- related Trait Dungeon? Is the system targeting me?"
Gao Fu lay on his bed, pondering his Future.
It seems that relying solely on his Talent to acquire a large number of blue skills is pointless and will only result in minimal improvement in combat power; it will only make him more well-rounded.
Purple Skills are impossible to obtain. According to information on the World Channel, even if you get one, you can't use it—people who haven't cleared the Trait Dungeon, even if they're lucky enough to obtain Purple Skill, will have it grayed out in their skill bar and won't be able to activate it.
It's difficult to further improve Martial Will; that relies on comprehension and the tempering of life and Life and Death, not on simply burying oneself in hard work.
It seems the only option is to keep waiting for the Trait Dungeons, either getting one related to Dreamscape, or waiting until all those guys with terrifyingly large horizontal combat power acquire their special abilities...
Gao Fu fell asleep lost in thought, entering his own Dreamscape, where he gazed upon the Heavenly Kingdom he had created.
The absolute control over Dreamscape is indeed exhilarating. From Gao Fu perspective, Dreamscape are far more realistic than those holographic games on the Technology Side. Those are much more realistic too.
But it's all an illusion after all. Dreamscape are all fake; only reality is real. If you die during a survival phase in the Future, everything in the Dreamscape will collapse.
Ignoring those smooth, white, and plump things, he Gao Fu his Sage- like state and continued to ponder, when suddenly he sensed something outside the Dreamscape.
It was a sheet of paper formed from condensed energy, with black flames clinging to it, Burn Jingjing.
Gao Fu instantly recognized whose handwriting it was and put the paper into his Dreamscape.
The moment the paper landed in his palm, the black flames shrank into a ball, as if confirming his identity, before slowly extinguishing. The paper unfolded, transforming into a contract.
This was a labor contract that Gao Fu couldn't quite understand. In his view, it had a Faith Side, and also an aura of Contract and Curse.
