Chapter 178

Although I learned about the existence of this halo from the system.

Ultimately, Li Pu knew absolutely nothing about how this halo worked.

Moreover, although the system promised to adjust the aura according to his needs, he didn't actually have control over it. This made Li Pu feel extremely uncomfortable.

Something that looks very important, but we don't have control over it.

This really bothered him.

'We must find a way to gain control of this halo.' Li Pu pondered carefully.

Yes, we absolutely have to get it.

So the question is, how do you get the halo?

We need to study it first.

"I feel like," Li Pu said, glancing at the laboratory he had improved. "We're running out of experimental equipment again."

"Well, isn't it true that the more experimental equipment we have, the better?"

"I have to go out again."

Otto finally got his moment of triumph.

Everything seems to be back on track; that annoying guy has finally disappeared from the internet. Looks like Blade of Unending did a good job this time.

Sure enough, someone like that can't be allowed to chatter on and on online.

Otherwise, my plans might really be ruined.

Ah, of course, to say that it would be a bit much to say that it would be completely destroyed.

But this guy might actually prevent the plan from going smoothly.

This is something Otto absolutely does not want to see.

"As expected, we have to physically seal the title." Otto nodded and said, "It looks like things should go more smoothly from now on."

"I don't think so," Rita thought to herself, looking at Otto's confident demeanor. "I have a feeling that the person who's bothering you will be back soon."

Rita thought to herself, but couldn't say it out loud.

Otto's IQ always drops a notch when it comes to Kallen.

This is the epitome of a simp!

Even if the other person is panting and says they're coughing, you'd reply with something like, "Drink more hot water..." Um, I misspoke. Lord Otto shouldn't go that far, right?

"Lord Otto, the download count is already quite high."

Rita said, "Is it time to start the next step of the plan?"

Although some people are stirring things up, the game's download numbers haven't dropped because of a few comments. On the contrary, the online battles and account bans between the various shipping factions have generated buzz, and a little bit of buying trending topics has quickly boosted the game's popularity.

With popularity comes attention, and even ordinary people who were just bystanders become spectators.

Since we're going to eat melons, we need to have some melons in our hands.

This melon...

Sometimes it might just be the game itself.

So~

The game's downloads increased, although not to the point where everyone had one. However, the download count in Canghai City alone was approaching one million.

"Lord Otto could try releasing a mobile version," Rita said. "Release different versions."

"This way, the download volume can be increased even more."

Currently, it's mainly available on PC; there are no Xbox or PS versions, and no mobile games either. Therefore, download numbers are limited, even if these versions are further developed.

The download count could increase significantly.

Otto had seriously considered what Rita was saying.

"No, we won't do that for now," Otto rejected the idea, saying, "This is just the first step of the plan, and we don't need that many people."

"It doesn't need to be such a broad scope."

While searching for Kallen's soul fragments is akin to finding a needle in a haystack—casting a wide net, the largest possible net—casting the largest possible net might attract the attention of governments worldwide.

Ultimately, Otto's real purpose wasn't to make games.

If it attracts the attention of governments around the world.

Then his actions didn't go so smoothly.

The first step of the plan is to start on a small scale.

Then unfold gradually, using the game to cover up your true purpose; you absolutely cannot rush this.

Otto understood that haste makes waste.

"But we can proceed to the next step," Otto said. "We just need to follow the steps."

As long as Kallen's main body is here, he can wait for the rest! Take your time, there's no rush!

Otto wasn't in a hurry, but some people were anxious and frustrated.

Wait!

I can't wait!

"That wretched guy!" Kevin gritted his teeth as he spoke in the Sea of Quanta. "My lovely Mei! What am I going to do about my lovely Mei?!"

"What should we do?!"

As a spy, Otto's plan was completely under his watchful eye.

I saw it all and was very anxious.

"Little girl!" Kevin asked through gritted teeth, "Do you have any ideas?"

"I don't have a better solution either," Seele said, spreading her hands. "Mr. Kevin, are you seeing things? I'm trapped in the Sea of Quantum just like you."

"If you don't find a way to get out of here, your MEI will belong to someone else."

My MEI... my MEI... my...

Kevin's face was gloomy, which made Seele feel a little uneasy.

Shouldn't they be making a groundhog-like scream at this point? And then running into the maze, and running back if they can't get through?

This time, Kevin didn't scream as he ran into the maze.

This kind of thing is really very rare.

"Judging from Mr. Kevin's confident demeanor," Seele said, "He must already have a plan in mind, right?"

"As expected, Mr. Kevin is still the best."

"Plans?" Kevin said coldly, "Not really."

Rather than saying he already had a plan in mind, it's more accurate to say that people are different. Someone like him, able to remain calm even in the face of extreme anger and helplessness.

Because Seele said at least one thing correctly.

If we stay trapped in this place forever, we'll never get out!

"It's almost time to make contact," Kevin said, arms crossed. "Let Gray Serpent handle this."

Now, the Gray Serpent that can move around outside may be his only support.

"Perhaps I can make use of Otto's plan," Kevin said very calmly. "If he can create a 'Kallen Fantasy,' why can't I create a 'MEI Fantasy'?"

"Although Jackal is a bit unreliable, she should still be able to replicate Otto's techniques."

"Since Otto can collect Kallen's soul fragments, why can't I let the World Serpent collect MEI's soul fragments?"

"Yes, that's right! It's possible!"

Kevin's appearance made Seele feel uneasy.

"Oh no! Oh no! This is terrible! This is terrible!" Seele thought with a sense of foreboding, "This Kevin has actually started using his brain now, and is he remotely controlling things?"

'This is terrible!'

Seele doesn't object to Kevin being like this, but if Kevin takes a liking to this kind of behind-the-scenes command...

If we don't explore the maze, won't it be a long time before we get out of the Sea of Quantum?

"But can the World Serpent really be trusted?" Seele seemed to agree but was still worried. "The Gray Serpent alone has been searching for a way to get you out of here for hundreds of years."

"What if they can't be relied on? Wouldn't that be like losing both your wife and your army?"

"Hmm." Kevin stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "Indeed, after all these centuries of effort, we'll only know the solution after my MEI comes out."

"These people are indeed a bit unreliable, but they are still my subordinates."

"Is there really no other way besides using gemstones?"

- [+&

Kevin didn't want to explore the maze anymore, nor did he want to wait for the gem.

"Isn't there any other way?"

"No, there must be some other way, right?"

Kevin looked at Seele beside him.

It seems they've come up with some ideas.

Seele was unaware of Kevin's thoughts, but she felt a growing sense of unease. It seemed her actions over this period had reached a certain limit.

This time, instead of hearing screams, Kevin calmed down.

This is bad!

This is bad!

No, we need to try a different approach!

What should we do?

If Kevin was previously filled with a sense of crisis, then now...

Can we give Kevin a glimmer of hope?

Hmm, maybe.

That's just how people are~

They're all scheming against each other.

Chapter 205 Strange Dream

Humans need rest.

Even Li Pu was no exception!

He didn't care how Ai-chan approached that Silly Goose; after playing Kallen Fantasy all night, he naturally needed to sleep.

Although this body is quite young.

But we still need to rest.

In the morning, as the sun rose in the east, Li Pu lay in bed asleep.

I'm going to sleep.

I don't know if it's because I've played too much Kallen Fantasy, or because he pulled the Kallen character.

He had a dream!

A strange dream.

He actually dreamed about Kallen!

Ah...

No, it's not just Kallen.
