Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1802

The air in the restaurant seemed to be frozen, and after a few seconds, Si Lu suddenly jumped up from the table, so fast that Lin Sanjiu had no time to react, and had already pressed Pengping's shoulders on the table with a "boom" .

When he spoke, his voice was hoarse.

"Draw it," he said, "you draw it and let her see it."

Indeed, if Lin Sanjiu draws and asks him to recognize it, in case Pengping doesn't cooperate sincerely, then he can say anything; his drawing is the best way to get information.

Lin Sanjiu understood, but still couldn't help but glance at Si Lu.

In the short time of meeting and reuniting with him, she has never seen him show such a look: as if there is no way in front of him and behind him, there is only a brick under his feet, ups and downs, which can make him fall into the abyss at any time .

Probably for him, the Shadow Palace is already a place like his hometown, but now this hometown seems to be gradually disappearing.

In just a few seconds, the look on Si Lu's face disappeared, as if he used his willpower to cover himself with a layer of calm again, and sat back down.

"Is...is that so?" Pengping said uncertainly, "I'm not very good at drawing...but the mark is quite simple."

As he spoke, he pushed a piece of paper to the center of the table.

Lin Sanjiu held up the paper, and could feel Si Lu's gaze on the side of his face.At first glance, she felt that the sign was completely different from what she had seen; however, a small voice in her heart prompted her to turn the drawing paper over—it was the sign she saw when she fell off the spaceship. , exactly the same.

She didn't say anything, but Silu already knew.He sat firmly in the chair, from the corners of his lips to his shoulders, every inch of muscle was tense.

"When and where did you see this sign?" Lin Sanjiu asked Pengping.

"Before I was approved and immediately got investment." Pengping was very disturbed, as if he had caused a disaster that he didn't know. "It's strange to say that I met two rounds of investors during the 'road show' But I didn’t see any marks. Until later... Because I have to communicate and report to the shark department regularly, I once asked them to send more support, and this mark was painted on the small spaceship they came to deliver things.”

"Isn't there any in the headquarters?" Si Lu interjected, his eyes lit up slightly.

Lin Sanjiu knew what he was thinking, and he probably had a slight hope - but Pengping's next words quickly shattered his hope.

"I don't know if it can be called the headquarters... Although there is no place where the investor is located, I seem to have figured out what's going on. The shark department has several branches, each with a different logo... …For example, I later saw the mark of the shark dorsal fin by chance, which should belong to another division.”

Silu fell silent.

It was clearly the Shadow Palace's operation in Fanjia City, but the Shark Department took over the follow-up... Lin Sanjiu did not expect that two seemingly unrelated incidents were actually entangled and connected in the depths.She was originally ready to ask Pengping's question, but now it suddenly became very important.

"Sharks..." She said carefully, "What do you want to invest in?"

Pengping's eyes fell on the dining table.After the obvious slight reluctance, he finally let out a long breath.

"People who live in the doomsday, who doesn't want to be stronger... I want to stand out, I want to have weight in my words, and I want others to take my meaning into account before they say or do things... Do you think I was Are you happy when you lock yourself up and push and drink? There are many kinds of life. Some people have to fight, compete, and struggle all the time, while others can call the wind and rain and do whatever they want. When the Shark Department came to me, they said, as long as I can Make good use of my abilities, they guarantee that I will definitely become a powerful person one day."

"What is your ability?"

"[Wildfire Liaoyuan]." He said calmly.

Lin Sanjiu and Si Lu didn't make a sound, they were both waiting for him to continue talking.

"Although I am a post-apocalyptic person, in my ability introduction, I talked about things before the apocalypse... It took me a lot of effort to finally fully understand its meaning." Peng Ping said flatly , "I used to think it was useless, it couldn't increase combat power, and I was disappointed at one point."

【Wildfires】

"Suddenly became popular", "went viral", "spread all corners of the Internet overnight"... You can often hear such sayings, right?
You don't know why, a video of an animal, a strange song sung by someone, a popular word, or a new concept...and all kinds of countless examples suddenly spread across the field of vision like wildfire, flooding the world. in everyone's speech.

The reasons behind their popularity are very complicated. It needs to step on countless factors and coincidences. It is an extremely difficult task to repeat it by manpower—otherwise, so many companies responsible for marketing will not scratch their heads.

However, the ability of [Wildfire Starts a Prairie] has condensed all the advantages of time and place into one.In other words, as long as you use [Wildfire Starting a Prairie], you can make anything you want popular, and achieve a large-scale popular effect in a short period of time.

Unlike many normal evolution abilities, it has no time limit on the effects it produces.If the releaser is well-prepared and persevering, the effect of [Wildfire] can continue, and it is possible for something to spread deeply in the hearts of the people, and even eventually become a common belief.

After listening to Pengping's introduction, Lin Sanjiu frowned tightly.

"What about the limit?" she asked, "There is always a limit to your abilities, right?"

"Yes," Pengping nodded, "no matter what I promote, it must not conflict with people's survival instincts. For example, I can't let 'suicide is a good thing', 'everyone must hand over survival resources and special items The concept of 'Give Pengping' became popular, but I can implement 'it's best to take a bottle of water when teleporting'... That's why I thought it was useless at first."

Perhaps it is indeed of no value in battle, but if it is used on a specific target, this ability will probably exert surprising power... The point is, what is the goal that the shark system wants to achieve?
"They told me that they want to use my ability to promote a concept, but I haven't been told what it is." Pengping spread his hands and said, "This is the truth. What I did before I was caught by you Everything is laying the foundation and preparing for the day of promotion."

Judging from the secretive deeds of the shark family, it is indeed not in line with their style to publicize their goals before everything is ready.Lin Sanjiu glanced at Si Lu, seeing that he was just listening blankly, he couldn't help but secretly sighed, and asked, "What about Batou De? You took Ah Quan's copy back then to tamper with Ba Tou De's memory. Make him work for you?"

"That's right." Pengping still doesn't seem to think that changing people's memory is an unjustifiable point in morality-the morality of post-apocalyptic people is like a loose and broken fishing net, with holes everywhere. "You said, you met him later, right?"

He thought about it carefully, and said hesitantly: "I think you also know that after I leave, my action plan will continue. If you want to remind him to guard against me, I can't understand... But There is a better way. Why don’t you persuade him to cooperate with me? You also know his ability? With his information ability, he can help me put the [Wildfire] in a place where I can’t reach Push it out..."

Lin Sanjiu understood his purpose at that time.

"That is to say, you need the ability of the eight-headed virtue to double the range of [Wildfire]?"

"That's right, that's what it means." Pengping said, "After all, the scope of my ability to release alone is limited. The meaning of the shark system is that the thing they want to promote far exceeds what I can get alone. range, requires a 'multiplier'..."

While Lin Sanjiu was pondering, Si Lu suddenly leaned over slightly and spoke.

"I have a question." He asked in a very calm voice, "Where is the shark system?"

　Sorry, this chapter is a bit long, I have a lot of things to do recently, and coding is really time-consuming... I finally understand why some people have a writer's studio...
