What Is Called Epic

Give time time, let the past be the past.

Is this question important?

After a moment of stunned silence, the Fuzi frowned and began to ponder.

"Not too important, just so-so at best."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi replied.

"Whether those Blood-colored Fishhook hanging from the Tian Kong appeared at the very beginning or later, the answer to this question will affect... By the way, your memory should be pretty good, right?"

"... appeared later."

After a moment of silence, the Fuzi gave his answer.

"I don't know exactly when they appeared, but initially, these Blood-colored Fishhook hanging from the Tian Kong didn't exist."

"Okay, I've finished asking my questions."

Bai Zhi nodded readily and stood up from his chair.

"Are you going to our side? Strictly speaking, a war between monsters is about to break out in this city, and your place is very likely to be destroyed."

"You mean the big fish that swam across the Tian Kong earlier?"

Recalling the large group of strange creatures he had seen walking by outside earlier, the Fuzi's expression became slightly odd.

"That's Rainbow-Whiskered Kun, it's very strong."

Bai Zhi corrected the other person's grammatical error.

"Not only can it evolve by devouring everything, but it also inflicts poison damage like Green Corpse Cold when attacking, along with a mental Curse attack similar to Jinitaimai. I spent all night last night trying to put together this."

"... May I ask what your next plan is?"

After a moment of silence, the Fuzi asked him a question.

"If it's possible, I should be able to help in some way."

"Of course, we must win this war first. While those Rainbow-Whiskered Kun and Godzilla draw attention on the main battlefield, we can launch Decapitation Strike, strike at the heart of the enemy, and strive to resolve the situation within three days."

After hearing the Fuzi's words, Bai Zhi glanced at him with slight surprise.

"As for you... in your current situation, what help could you possibly offer?"

"I think I mentioned before that I used to be the strongest Player in the world, right?"

The Fuzi closed the open Book of Form before him and spoke calmly.

"If you're sure you're going to ignore my help, then please give me back that speedboat first."

"Ahem... Tell me, what do I need to do?"

After coughing a few times, Bai Zhi decisively changed the subject.

"I remember you said you had an Epic Grade piece of Equipment. Where did you hide Equipment? Tell me, I'll go get it now. It's so chaotic outside, what if I accidentally..."

"It's right here."

Shaking his head, the Fuzi picked up a Small Knife from the table.

--Before she picked up the Small Knife, Bai Zhi had no idea that such a thing was sitting on the otherwise empty table, where only the Book of Form existed.

"Completely diminishing your own presence... is that the Epic Grade Equipment you possess?"

Looking at the unremarkable Small Knife in the Fuzi's hand, Bai Zhi asked him with great interest.

"A friend of mine told me that there's a significant gap between Perfect Grade and Epic Grade, and that at least 90% of Player can't overcome this obstacle. Is that true?"

"90%... It seems our world is truly pitifully weak."

The Fuzi smiled, seemingly with a self-deprecating tone.

"In my world, I'm the only one who has barely reached this level, and your world has as many as 10%... If there were so many Player in my world who had reached this level, then my world wouldn't be in the state it is now, right?"

"No, your situation is a little better than hers."

Bai Zhi shook his head.

"At least you still have people alive here, you still have family. But for her, the entire world has been destroyed, and the world itself has fallen into utter silence... Strictly speaking, there is no one alive in her world anymore."

"What about their world's [Noah's Ark]?"

The Fuzi was quite taken aback.

"Just like you, didn't you destroy your world's [Noah's Ark]? Hers was sacrificed."

Bai Zhi seemed slightly sentimental.

"So the [Noah's Ark], which represents the last hope of a world, is really too tragic. Do you guys really enjoy tearing it down?"

"... Even such a powerful world couldn't escape the fate of destruction?"

The Fuzi spoke in a low voice.

"I think it's mostly a matter of luck. After all, in her world, it seems like some kind of Evil God descended at the end."

With his arms crossed, Bai Zhi shrugged slightly.

"Tell me, what level of being is it that can cause the strongest being in a world to suffer a mental breakdown and physical mutation with just a glance?"

"... a level that is beyond my reach and unimaginable."

After a moment of silence, the Fuzi spoke in a low voice.

"Strictly speaking, I can only be considered Half-Epic. Because I only possess one Epic Level piece of Equipment, but I haven't mastered Epic Level Skill... Haven't you reached that level yet?"

"To put it simply, I'm only Level 12 right now, so I'm still considered Newbie."

Bai Zhi coughed a few times.

"And even our current main weapon is just a Rare Level Handgun... So do you have any unwanted Perfect Grade Equipment or items that you'd like to lend me a few pieces to use?"

"... I gave almost all of those things to my sister."

After a moment of silence, with an expression that said "I don't believe you," the Fuzi turned his head and began to speak calmly.

"And if your Level is really only level 12, even if you were given a Perfect Grade piece of Equipment, you wouldn't be able to Equipment it with your current stats."

"Alright."

Nodding with some regret, Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the unremarkable Small Knife in the other person's hand.

"By the way, let me ask you a question: is there a big difference between Epic Grade and Perfect Grade?"

"It's hard to say. You'll understand when you get there."

The Fuzi shook his head slightly and spoke calmly.

"The Equipment I have here is called [Nirvana Blade], Epic Level, and its special effect is, in a sense, Unique... I think you've already guessed it."

"So you used it to dismantle your world's [Noah's Ark]?"

Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Absolute Penetration, Absolute Sharpness, or perhaps Absolute Piercing?"

"That's right, that's its function."

The Fuzi seemed to let out a slight sigh.

"It can penetrate anything... I can lend it to you."
