Filled with anticipation, Feng Qi reached out and took the Rune Crystal from the Metal Box.
This Twilight Wolf Rune Crystal was grayish-white and translucent throughout, with specks of blue starlight inside and a hazy gray glow on its surface. Before the Cataclysm, it would undoubtedly have been an extremely valuable collectible.
He had already looked up how to use Rune Crystals.
Warriors from Domain Battle Squads generally handed Rune Crystals to Spiritual Pharmacists, who crushed and refined them into pure spiritual energy liquid for consumption.
That was because the energy inside Rune Crystals came in all kinds of forms and was not necessarily beneficial to humans.
For example, the Celestial Scorpion, a Domain Creature, had toxic energy within its Rune Crystal. This poison did not harm Celestial Scorpions, but it was fatal to humans. Eating it directly would cause a person's body to rot apart within seconds.
Therefore, directly consuming certain Rune Crystals was extremely dangerous. Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation were minor issues; it might even cost someone their life.
But the Rune Crystal in his hand was harmless, so there was nothing to worry about if he consumed it directly.
Besides, he felt that his body had already mutated. He could even absorb the abilities of Domain Creatures, so what was one Rune Crystal?
With that thought, he tossed the Rune Crystal in his hand into his mouth.
"Crunch!"
"Ugh... It's hurting my teeth!"
Having lost its host, the Rune Crystal had become less hard, so it was still within Feng Qi's tolerance.
As he chewed, the Rune Crystal shattered. Surging energy flowed down his throat toward his stomach, and he quickly felt intensely full. At the same time, he could clearly sense large amounts of spiritual energy rampaging through his body. If the energy continued to increase, he might explode and die.
Fortunately, his mutated body quickly responded. It began rapidly absorbing the energy, while the energy progress bar in the panel jumped along with it.
In less than ten minutes, all the energy in his body had been absorbed, and the energy progress bar finally reached full capacity.
Energy replenishment complete. Current energy progress: 27%.
Although the energy had been replenished, Feng Qi could not guarantee that he would be able to enter Dreamland, so he decided to take a nap right away and test his guess through practice.
Thus, having just been preparing to head out, he decisively climbed back into bed.
Less than five minutes after lying down, drowsiness swept over him...
When he opened his eyes, everything was so familiar.
Just as Feng Qi had expected, he had once again arrived in the world of Future Dreamland.
He took a deep breath, intending to express the joy in his heart, but the foul stench that hit him nearly made him vomit.
"Cough, cough, cough. Still as disgusting as ever." He looked down at his Living Dead body with great disdain.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. How embarrassing!
The narrator appeared at just the right moment and delivered a finishing blow.
After recovering his senses, Feng Qi bent down and grabbed a leg bone. He took several steps forward and skillfully knocked the head of "Little Cripple," who had just been about to stand up, crooked. Then he headed straight east.
This time, his goal was the same as before: Star City's Underground Shelter.
Aside from looking for ways to make money, he planned to see whether Mu Qing's future had changed because of her contact with him, then check Lin Ran's future evaluation.
Even while traveling, he did not forget to increase his strength. Every Living Dead and worm he encountered along the way became Prefix Title milestone points and Bloodline Evolution Points for him.
After realizing that he would need to replenish energy every time he entered Dreamland in the future, he no longer wanted to die easily. Otherwise, the remaining two million would not be enough to spend.
If he entered Future Dreamland once a day, two million would be gone in just two days.
Therefore, he wanted to stay in Future Dreamland for as long as possible.
Following the familiar route, he fought monsters and grew stronger all the way.
Whether in strength, reflexes, or speed, he had improved enormously compared to when he had first entered Dreamland.
By the time Feng Qi arrived at the shelter's stone monument, his attributes had changed again.
Toughness (Level 1) · Normal Living Dead: Feng Qi Strength Level: Unranked Prefix Titles: Normal, Toughness LV1 (Muscle toughness increased by 1%) Bloodline: Human (Beginner) Bloodline Evolution Points: 113/1000 Prefix Title Milestones: Normal (Upgradeable): Second Milestone Progress: 13% Toughness LV1 (Upgradeable): 32%
He still had a long way to go before evolving his bloodline, so Feng Qi's plan remained unchanged. He would check the Database first.
But this time, he would not repeat his mistake. He planned to leave the shelter before Little Black arrived.
After dripping blood into the Blood Trough before the stone monument for verification, the monument slowly shifted aside, revealing the Metal Passage leading into the shelter.
Feng Qi stepped inside and headed straight for the Database.
When he reached the center of the underground plaza, he activated the main console and began looking through the records.
He first entered Mu Qing's name. After filtering the search results, Mu Qing's detailed information appeared.
Mu Qing (Human Rebel Leader): Introduction: Originally a student of Star City Academy, she joined a Domain Battle Squad as a warrior after graduation. However, during an investigation mission, she betrayed her team and personally killed the squad leader. She later recruited a large number of Scavengers, established the human rebel army "Dawn," restarted the Rune Modifier Project, and began opposing humanity. Her hands were stained with the blood of countless innocents. During that time, she led the rebels in massacring several cities. Her sins were grave, and she was despised by later generations. Tags: Rune Modifier, Dawn Rebels Leader, Human Traitor Personality: Cruel, cold-blooded, unscrupulous
Feng Qi: ...
After reading the introduction, he realized that he had not affected Mu Qing. She had ultimately still stood against humanity and become the World-Destroying Great Demon King despised by later generations.
He felt somewhat disappointed by this result.
After closing Mu Qing's profile page, he entered "Lin Ran" and began filtering the search.
A moment later, information related to Lin Ran appeared.
In the photograph, Lin Ran wore a Tiger Soul Research Institute uniform. Dark circles hung beneath his eyes as he grinned foolishly.
Lin Ran: Age at Death: 103 Profile: Once hailed as the most talented newcomer at the Tiger Soul Research Institute, he possessed an incomparably solid foundation in theoretical knowledge and made numerous outstanding contributions to Art Method research. He also pioneered the Seal Incantation Stream Art Method discipline. He was later transferred into the newly established "Infinity" group of the Tiger Soul Research Institute as its leader, where he attempted to research new Cultivation Methods. However, history proved that Lin Ran was only talented in Art Method research. His research into Cultivation Methods went completely astray, leading his entire team down the wrong path. The several Cultivation Methods he developed contained many hidden dangers. After being released, they caused the meridians of millions of people to rupture, creating an appalling impact and slowing the development of all humanity. Ultimately, out of guilt, he never again set foot in the fields of cultivation method or Art Method research during his later years and died in depression. Historical Achievements: Human S-Class Elite (revoked), Leader of Tiger Soul Infinity Group (revoked), Elite Member of Tiger Soul Research Institute (revoked), Outstanding Graduate of Winter Academy (revoked), Founder of Seal Incantation Stream Spells, Founder of Five Elements Generation Stream Spells, New Planner of Zero Spell Trajectory... Character Evaluation: Historical Scourge
Feng Qi: ...
"Good lord, he caused the meridians of millions of people to rupture and was even labeled a Historical Scourge. More than half of his achievements were revoked. This is ridiculous!"
After seeing how people of the future evaluated Lin Ran, Feng Qi even wanted to applaud him.
Lin Ran's lifetime achievements really could be mentioned in the same breath as Wang Jinsheng's, except they had gone in completely opposite directions. One was a historical figure, while the other was a Historical Scourge.
"No, I have to find a way to straighten Lin Ran out. I absolutely cannot let him take the path of cultivation method research. I need him to focus firmly on Art Method Studies and stop trying to do everything at once."
At that moment, Feng Qi gained another goal, and his shoulders felt even heavier.
One was a World-Destroying Great Demon King, and the other was a Historical Scourge. Both were nailed to history's pillar of shame. He could not understand why there were so many oddballs around him.
"Damn it!"
