Chapter 43 Uniqueness

Chapter 43 Uniqueness

The rainstorm poured down, and the churning black river water constantly rose and fell again, smashing on the river surface.

Bai Heng clutched Constantine's neck and sank together.

The icy river water completely soaked Bai Heng's shirt, and a strong sense of suffocation and weightlessness spread throughout his body.

Bai Heng even began to doubt that this was not an illusion at all.

"Don't you have anything to ask?" Bai Heng didn't expect to be able to speak in this state. Even though he was all wet and felt wrapped in the cold liquid, yet this liquid didn't pour into his mouth and nose.

Even with her throat seized, Constantine's flawless face still wore a composed smile.

She had already recovered from the previous astonishment. She stretched out her delicate jade hand, and the slender fingers wrapped in the black silk sleeve gently stroked Bai Heng's cheek, saying:

"In my illusion, I can easily tell if you're lying."

"I originally thought you just happened to get it. But now it seems that you, who witnessed all of this yourself, such as the light piercing through the clouds, the toppling tower, and the golden death, seem to be closer to 'Destruction' than us."

"Originally, Afreet wanted me to kill you, but now, I have a new idea. Since we are both desperadoes walking on 'Destruction', why distinguish between you and me? Join the Obliteration Gang, or marry into my family, and I can spare you."

Bai Heng tilted his head, flicked away the slender fingers touching his cheek, and increased the strength of his hand grasping Constantine's throat, smiling:

"Just a moment ago, you wanted to turn me into a puppet, and now you want me to marry into your family? Miss Constantine, I can't keep up with your rhythm."

However, Constantine, whose throat was seized by Bai Heng, didn't seem to feel the pain. Instead, she showed an even more excited smile:

"You only have one chance to choose. If you choose wrong, you will die."

Bai Heng looked at this scene and shuddered in his heart, cursing inwardly:

Is this woman a masochist!?

As the two continued to sink, the sense of weightlessness and suffocation became more and more obvious.

Bai Heng knew he couldn't delay any longer, so he was about to let go.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that there was a pendant hanging on Constantine's chest.

And the shape of that pendant....An ether cassette?

The Obliteration Gang came to Pengkeluode this time. In that auction, they not only took away that star core but should also have taken away the ether cassette of that Pengkeluode sage.

Perhaps, this one on Constantine's chest is it?

Thinking of this, Bai Heng reached out his hand towards Constantine's chest. The moment his fingers touched the cassette.

A voice suddenly rang out.

[Due to contact with the relevant medium, this special simulation is unlocked.]

[This simulation is unique. Missing this opportunity will permanently prevent you from conducting this simulation.]

[The rewards of this simulation are unique.]

[This simulation has fixed life talent entries]

[This simulation consumes only 1 second of real-time, and during the simulation, you will be in an absolutely safe state.]

[You have three seconds to choose whether to enter the simulation.]

[Three....]

--Confirm, enter this simulation!

Without any hesitation, Bai Heng directly chose to agree.

This was his only way to survive.

[Your inherent life talents have been locked.]

[Pengkeluode Spirit (Five Stars): You have an extremely high hacking talent.]

[Frail and Sickly (One Star): Compared to others, your body is weaker and more prone to illness.]

[Child King (Two Stars): You are more precocious than other children, but being precocious may not necessarily be a good thing.]

"[Pengkeluode Spirit], [Frail and Sickly], [Child King] have been locked. Simulation begins."

[Simulation begins.]

[Consciousness transfer in progress, random scene generation in progress.]

....

Pengkeluode, a hacker city where the boundary between reality and illusion is completely blurred.

The entire city can be divided into three areas: the Great Wilderness, the Scrap Mountain, and the Oasis District.

In the ancient times of Pengkeluode, here was indeed, as the name suggests, a region not suitable for human habitation.

But with the emergence of the technology of ether editing, people improved their living environment by editing reality with ether cassettes.

Even so, the Great Wilderness still symbolizes poverty, and this place is rich in explorers famous on this planet.

While the Oasis District symbolizes prosperity and advancement.

All kinds of light pollution, the林立 glass buildings, large data display screens, holographic projections of celebrities and politicians, chaotic streets, and the red lights of drone swarms spread across the night sky, connecting into lines, jointly demonstrating its prosperity.

As for the Scrap Mountain, if the Great Wilderness is the foundation of this city and the Oasis District is the heart of this city, then the Scrap Mountain is the名副其实 garbage dump, sewer, and the bottomless gutter of Pengkeluode.

Here, various gangs collude, handling things that the politicians and celebrities of the upper society are unwilling to show up for.

Of course, chaos is also an opportunity. Adventurers from the Great Wilderness or people living at the bottom of the Oasis District will come here to seek a way out and look for a well-paid job.

[One year old, you were born in the Great Wilderness of Pengkeluode. The midwife carried the tiny and thin you out of the delivery room and informed your father that you were a boy and that both mother and child were safe. After his worried heart finally settled, your father gently held you, teasing and playing with you, sincerely hoping that you would grow up healthy.]

[The area where you live is District 86 of the Great Wilderness. Your father is the executive here, in charge of the affairs of District 86 of the Great Wilderness. Because he was the manager elected by the people of District 86 of the Great Wilderness, everyone loves him deeply and also sent their blessings for your birth.]

[And your mother is a young lady from the Oasis District. The gap in family background caused many obstacles to their marriage. But in the end, your mother gave up her family status and came here with your father to settle down. Two years later, they had you and named you Bai Heng.]

[However, your mother, who once had a wealthy family background, found it difficult to adapt to the environment of the Great Wilderness immediately and often got sick in the first two years. This also led to your birth this year. You not only inherited your mother's beauty but also her weak constitution.]

[High fever, cough, and various diseases in the Wilderness District often tortured you. Several times, the doctor in District 86 of the Great Wilderness announced that you might not survive that night, but you still survived stubbornly.]

[Two years old, you survived the most difficult time. In District 86 of the Great Wilderness, your father, as the manager, lived a simple life and was dedicated to the residents of the jurisdiction. This is why he is loved. ]

[However, your father's excessive frugality almost made the family unable to make ends meet. After all, even the allowance allocated from above, he would use it to assist the people in District 86 who were in difficulty.]

[Your mother lectured your father many times for this, but never stopped him from doing so. Sometimes, when a natural disaster occurred in the Great Wilderness, your mother would even take out the dowry she secretly brought from her family and let your father use it for disaster relief.]

[Three years old, you are already able to walk and speak proficiently. Your mother, who comes from a scholarly family, taught you how to write and do arithmetic herself, hoping that you would be more capable than your father in the future.]

[Four years old, although you are still more prone to illness than children born in the Great Wilderness. But your parents also discovered that in terms of numbers and arithmetic, you have talent far exceeding other children. It is precisely for this reason that your parents gave you an early chip editor called an ether cassette and guided you on how to use it.]

[You found that you could manipulate some heavy objects through this cassette, and even heat and cool like in fairy tales. Your mother said this was the ability of the ether cassette to edit reality, but you prefer to believe it is magic.]

[After a period of learning, your mother was surprised by your adaptability to ether editing. Even in the Oasis District where she once was, it was rare to find children with more talent in this aspect than you.]

[Five years old, a severe natural disaster broke out in District 86 of the Great Wilderness, and many people became orphans due to this force majeure disaster. As the father who was the manager of District 86, he contacted the politicians of the Oasis District for a long time, but the other party kept passing the buck on the disaster relief. For this reason, your mother took out all her savings and even humbly contacted the family she had left, which minimized the number of civilians in District 86 who died of hunger.]

[And as the New Year was approaching, while you and your mother were preparing a simple festival dinner at home, your father, covered in a layer of snow, returned home. And in his arms, he was holding a baby still in swaddling clothes.]
