Mystery makes me strong

Chapter 2729 Conscious Core
Li Cang felt troubled.

These guys don't try hard to find it.

How could he search such a large planet by himself?
He couldn't find it even if he tried his best.

Slave contracts alone can only prevent others from rebelling, but cannot inspire their enthusiasm, let alone force them to find something.

Slaves are the least motivated. When doing anything, they just want to get by and not make any mistakes.

Although Li Cang also wanted to execute one or two people as a threat, Zhang Meng stopped him.

"God will not be happy if you do this."

"God shouldn't like things that are easy to mosaic." Zhang Meng hinted in a low voice.

Hearing this, Li Cang fell silent.

Only then did he understand the logic behind Zhang Meng's behavior these days: No wonder this kid behaved so uprightly, it seemed he was performing for the gods to see.

……

Wen Rensheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

We really can't underestimate human wisdom.

Zhang Meng matured through a series of setbacks.

Now we understand the core role-playing logic: no mosaic behavior can occur.

As for how the other party discovered it, it should be judged by the amount of experience points.

Funny behavior that crosses the line will result in no experience gained.

But those normal, positive and funny behaviors can gain a lot of experience.

This was naturally a secret arrangement made by Wen Rensheng to prevent Xiao Huan from growing up in a wrong direction.

Of course, he was worrying too much, because Xiao Huan didn't want to grow up at all.

……

Li Cang quickly came up with a plan.

In the heat of doomsday.

A rumor spread like wildfire among the survivors.

A legend about the hot core has spread in the player channels, in the survivor camp, and in the big refrigerator shelter.

"Whoever can obtain it will gain the ultimate power, and the player template will awaken SSS-level talent."

"real or fake?"

"It could be true. That's a force that can plunge a world into heat. How much energy does it contain?"

"That's right. It's better to believe it than to miss it."

With the instigation of a group of shills, this rumor took root in people's hearts like a seed, arousing their greed and desire deep in their hearts.

The rumor spread quickly.

In the Refrigerator Shelter camp, many player "slaves" were sitting together, discussing the rumor in low voices.

"Do you think this is a conspiracy?"

"Nonsense, this must be a conspiracy. This must be the conspiracy of the tyrant. He wants to get the core."

"But if that's the case, it must have some special power."

"Yes, the other party has enslaved so many people, but they still pursue it, just like Qin Shihuang's pursuit of the elixir of immortality. The pursuit itself shows its value!"

Speaking of this, many people's eyes flashed with excitement and fear, and their hearts were filled with desire for power.

After all, if they had enough power, they would not become slaves.

"Damn it, I don't want to live like this anymore!"

"Yes, damn tyrant, you only give us a little bit of food every day. I can't see any hope of progress. I can only survive."

"Having said that, that guy hasn't gone too far." There are also people who want to live in disgrace.

After all, at least I'm still alive.

"If we can obtain the Torrential Core, we can become the masters of this world."

Another voice sounded among the crowd, and it was full of temptation.

There are still warriors after all.

When there are a lot of people, some people will dare to take risks. This is bound to happen.

No matter how cowardly a group is, there will always be some brave people.

This is the most precious thing about human beings.

That is why we have been able to move from slave society to modern times with great difficulty.

There will always be people who have the courage to resist, and are willing to sacrifice their short lives to take a different path from their predecessors.

……

Zhang Meng and Li Cang stood at the edge of the crowd.

There was a hint of worry in Zhang Meng's eyes.

Of course, this was also acted out by him.

He knew in his heart that this rumor could lead to a disaster.

But he thought it would amuse the gods.

That's enough.

“We can’t let this rumor continue to spread,” Zhang Meng said. “It will make people lose their minds.”

Li Cang sneered in his heart but nodded on the surface.

There was a hint of sadness in his eyes. "So we must first find the hot core and control its power."

Zhang Meng had nothing to say.

Man, you're a better actor than I am.

It was obviously you who did it, yet you are still pretending here.

Let’s all perform together for the gods to see.

……

So driven by rumors.

Players and ordinary survivors began to search for the hot core.

Of course, the only ones who can really do the work are the players.

Only they have the ability to dig the land and explore the caves in the hope of finding that legendary core.

Finally, there is a player with a talent for traveling underground.

His name is Jason.

Jason's talent is the ability to travel underground.

His eyes can see the direction of the rocks underground, and his body can adapt to the pressure underground.

His skin could feel the flow of heat from the ground.

On this day, Jason stood at the entrance of a huge cave.

There was a hint of excitement in his eyes. He could feel the call from his hot core.

He knew he was about to find it.

"Hahaha, from now on I will be the one calling the shots on this planet!"

You know, although he has good abilities, strong vitality, and can easily avoid danger, he is not that strong in frontal combat.

Just like a mouse, it has strong vitality and will be beaten to death as soon as it shows its head.

So at most he was just hanging around underground, gathering some survivors to make a living, but he couldn't really become the king.

Compared to other powerful players, he is nothing.

For example, someone’s talent is “agility”. As soon as he shows his head, he will be hit by the opponent, and he cannot track the opponent at all. How can he fight?
Agility is just a very common talent, and of course not many people have it.

He took a deep breath and his body began to change.

His body became lithe, his eyes sharpened, and he leaped into the cave, disappearing underground.

Deep underground, Jason moved between rocks and soil.

He could feel the heat of the fiery core, he could feel its power.

He followed the call of the core and eventually came to a huge underground space.

In the center of this space, there is a huge lava pool, the lava in the pool is rolling and emitting a blazing light.

In the center of the lava pool, there was indeed a huge core, which emitted a dazzling light.

Jason's eyes sparkled with excitement and he reached out, trying to touch the core.

“Hahaha, my hope is right in front of me!”

He was so excited that he found that his body began to change and his power really began to awaken further.

……

Wen Rensheng found it very interesting.

This poor man naturally didn't know that the new power he gained was not because he found the core.

It was entirely because the hard work of "his excitement in finding the hot core" was interesting to Xiao Huan, which gave him new power and satisfied his calling.

Of course, the process of giving strength to the other party is achieved with the help of the "hot core" so that he feels it is reasonable and that it is really the case.

Make him feel that his efforts are useful.

……

And in Jason's eyes, the hot core began to respond to his touch.

Its power began to flow into Jason's body.

His player template began to awaken further.

His body was surrounded by blazing flames and his eyes glowed red.

Jason felt an unprecedented power. He found that his experience level had been greatly increased by the stimulation of the core.

"Experience +2, +3..."

Soon he soared from a mere level 20 to level 72.

His body became stronger, his speed became faster, and his strength became more amazing.

Compared with his original self, he is now a Tyrannosaurus Rex, while his original self was just a small ant.

That's how big the difference is.

He stood up, his body covered in flames, his eyes glowing with new strength.

He understood that he had become the master of this world.

He indeed has a new talent:

"Vajra body."

He can turn himself into rock, and as long as he is on the ground, he is indestructible.

……

Jason then came to the refrigerator shelter.

He has been salivating over this place for a long time.

At the same time he also wanted to laugh at the two rulers here.

It's the end of the world, but people are still so well-behaved. The most they do is curse people, eat more, and fight more.

He didn't do anything that should be done on a normal doomsday.

Is this still called the end of the world?

……

Jason then began to show his new powers to everyone he met.

He gathered other players' subordinates along the way and headed towards the refrigerator shelter.

And the news quickly spread to the refrigerator camp.

After all, there is the player channel, a powerful communication tool.

Zhang Meng and Li Cang's faces turned serious. They knew that Jason's awakening might bring new threats.

"We have to find a way to fight Jason," Zhang Meng said. "His power is too strong. We can't let him lose control."

Li Cang nodded, with a hint of unwillingness and regret in his eyes.

He never expected that the rumor he casually said would come true.

This is really like shooting oneself in the foot.

Who can I talk to to explain this?

"We need to come up with a plan," he said fiercely, "We need to find a way to weaken his power."

The two then began to plan.

They all knew it would be a tough battle.

They needed to find the weakness of the Torrid Core, and they needed to find a way to control Jason's powers.

For Zhang Meng, although he takes it very seriously, he is not desperate.

On the contrary, he saw it as a stepping stone to his own advancement.

If it remains as unchallenging as before, the "gods" will probably get tired of it.

……

"That person is here!"

The slave players spread the news.

Jason appeared at the door of the refrigerator shelter with a sneer on his face. In fact, he could have just broken through the wall and come in.

But no normal person would choose to break up their own home…

So he went through the front door.

The opponent was covered in heat, and Zhang Meng and Li Cang were suddenly faced with unprecedented challenges.

As a slave owner, Li Cang had to go up and fight.

Of course, he also used the power of the contract to drive several players to deal with Jason.

As a result, they were easily killed by the opponent and resurrected.

Then he took to the battlefield himself.

As a result, he found that his strength, agility, and defense were completely crushed by the opponent!
He is no match at all!
He knew immediately that he would have to find an entirely new approach if he was going to counter Jason's newly awakened powers.

The result was that Xiao Huan was bent over with laughter.

"He went up, he fought, and he called GG."

"This guy is so funny."

……

Li Cang had no choice but to flee with Zhang Meng.

The two men's embarrassed appearance caused everyone to burst into laughter.

The slaves laughed too.

But they soon stopped laughing.

Because this Jason is much more cruel than Li Cang.

Zhang Meng also knew that this was the stage for the gods' drama and knew that he was in charge of Li Cang.

But no one was watching Jason.

Jason pretended to be a superhero who saved the world at first, but he soon became bored.

After all, if you really act like a superman, normal people won’t be able to tolerate it.

Not only is it complicated, but it is also controversial.

He quickly transformed into another side and began to abuse the remaining slave players in a more cruel way.

Because it makes him happy.

These processes are all blurred, so Xiao Huan can't see them.

Of course, the price is that Jason will no longer gain new power, and he doesn't even notice that his power is declining.

……

Zhang Meng and Li Cang then began to flee.

Finally, a miracle happened again.

In an accident, Zhang Meng awakened a new ability - he was able to communicate with the hot core.

During a steamy sleep, Zhang Meng saw the hot core in his dream.

This discovery gave them a glimmer of hope.

Zhang Meng lay on the ground.

He felt a strange connection in his heart, a connection to the hot core.

He felt a hot breath being transmitted to him through the earth.

He closed his eyes and began trying to communicate with his core.

He knew very well that this must be a gift from God.

The gods saw the interesting show and began to bestow blessings.

His spirit gradually extended through the earth and deep into the ground.

He could feel the heat of the core, could feel its power.

He began to try to connect with the core, to understand its nature.

In Zhang Meng's consciousness.

He saw the huge lava pool that Jason had found.

The lava in the pool was still churning, emitting a fiery glow.

In the center of the lava pool, the huge hot core, like an apple core, is emitting dazzling light.

"Who are you?" Zhang Meng's voice echoed in the core consciousness.

The core did not answer.

But its heat is beginning to wane.

Its flames began to die down.

Zhang Meng could feel the core confusion.

It turns out it is alive!

It's just that it doesn't know why it exists, nor why it has such powerful power.

Zhang Meng continued to communicate with the core.

He tried to make the Core understand that its power should not be used to destroy, but to protect.

“With great power comes great responsibility.”

"Just like the sun in the sky, it has powerful energy, but it mainly brings light and heat to people, and breeds civilization and life."

He started this deception.

This is the most powerful trash talk he could think of.

While Zhang Meng was communicating with the core, Li Cang began to make a plan.

He knew that he had to defeat that bastard to get his position back.

At the same time, you can also torture Jason to find out how he obtained the power.
