The end of the world starts with failing the exam

Chapter 25 The prompt comes again

To be honest, Chen Jing didn't know what was so happy about the moon festival.

Because as far as he knows...

For the Eternal Night Market in this other world, the Moon Festival seems to be an inevitable period of disaster outbreak with cyclical characteristics.

Whenever the moon festival comes, the "moonlight" emitted by the strange celestial body will deteriorate.

This will not only cause some Old Descendants to fall out of control, but also lead some terrifying entities in the wasteland to converge on the city...

"Every time those 'Atones' come out of the river, I feel like thieves are fucking scary..."

Wei Nan put his arms around Chen Jing's shoulders and looked at the behemoths that began to patrol the city from a distance, sighing loudly.

"In recent years, I have often heard people say that the [Round Table Council] is on its last legs. They will no longer be able to suppress those sects... I don't think so. If these atoneers go crazy, I guess the monastery's home base will be destroyed. draw."

"Are they from the [Round Table Council]?" Chen Jing stared at those monsters as tall as buildings. Even from such a distance, he could feel the extremely terrifying sense of oppression.

"Yes, those torturers sentenced the criminals to death by decapitation, and then kept those heads alive, and then tied them up with chains to protect Yongye City..."

Wei Nan suddenly shuddered when he said this, as if he thought of something he was afraid of, and said cautiously.

"If I hadn't been proven insane when I committed the murder, I would probably have my head stuck on it now..."

"Are these creatures powerful?" Chen Jing asked curiously.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course they are powerful, but I don't know how powerful they are..."

Wei Nan turned his face and glanced at Chen Jing. The hair on his forehead swayed like an antenna, and there was a trace of fear in his words.

"Anyway, those old descendants who dared to go crazy on the streets were killed by them, and those polluted ones who wanted to break into the city from the wasteland were also killed by them..."

"Are they more powerful or is my grandpa more powerful?" Chen Jing became even more curious and couldn't help but compare these behemoths with the old man.

"It should be the old madman who is very powerful." Wei Nan said firmly, without any doubt in his tone.

Chen Jing was startled and asked why.

Wei Nan's answer was quite convincing.

"Think about it for yourself, if the old lunatic was not as powerful as those 'Atones', he would have been beheaded by the [Roundtable Council] long ago for the crazy things he has done in recent years..."

"It makes sense." Chen Jing nodded thoughtfully, feeling that Wei Nan's answer was very reliable.

At this moment, the "Atoner" closest to Chen Jing and the others suddenly stopped.

It seemed to be slowly turning towards the southeast slowly, and the thousands of heads that made up the torso suddenly opened their mouths...

"Look! Something exciting is coming!" Wei Nan said excitedly, and couldn't help but grab Chen Jing's hand and shake it hard.

this moment.

A dazzling red light lit up in every head and mouth of the Atoner.

Accompanied by increasingly shrill roars, streaks of scarlet light were spitted out by the heads one after another, like meteors trailing the tail of a comet, towards the target location.

The picture is almost like a laser weapon in a science fiction movie.

and so……

Did I underestimate the old man's strength...

Can he really defeat these monsters?

"Aren't these all self-propelled fortress laser weapons?!"

Chen Jing stared at this apocalyptic scene with his mouth agape, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.

"Oh, another old descendant is being targeted..."

Wei Nan was no stranger to the red light spitting out from those heads. Instead, he stretched his neck and looked over there excitedly, as if watching the fun.

"This battle is quite big... Could it be that the polluted species from the wasteland have come in again... It would be really exciting if those bastards really came in..."

At this moment, Chen Jing was stunned. His slightly pale and sickly face was reflected by the red light that kept streaking across the sky.

"With their saturation bombing attack method...the parliament is not afraid of demolishing Yongye City?" Chen Jing asked with numbness.

"Don't worry, the 'Atoner' only kills targets and does not destroy buildings. Didn't you notice that those red lights fell silently on the city?"

"It seems..." Chen Jing listened carefully for a while, and indeed did not hear the sound made by those "red lasers" after they contacted the target.

"When I have a few more days of rest, I will take you to the city for a walk when I have the opportunity. It would be shocking to see these big guys up close!" Wei Nan said enthusiastically.

"Forget it, I think it's safer to stay at home..." Chen Jing declined politely, not wanting to have close contact with those big guys.

"You're just a coward! You're so scared of me when I'm here!"

"..."

After chatting with Wei Nan for a while, Chen Jing finally went back home after being too sleepy in the middle of the night, despite Wei Nan's reluctant insistence...

When sending the young master Chen Jing off, Wei Nan was still muttering softly about why he had to sleep for a long time before he was alive because he would sleep forever after death.

But seeing Chen Jing's sickly look, Wei Nan felt embarrassed to say anything more.

Forget it.

If he continues talking, he will probably have to sleep forever now.

"It's not like we won't meet again..."

Chen Jing was still coughing when he entered the elevator, but when he saw Wei Nan reluctantly waiting outside the elevator door, he still managed to console himself.

"I'll come up to you tomorrow and bring you something to eat."

"Ok!"

When the elevator door closed, Chen Jing walked to the side with the handrail, leaning his back against the elevator and couldn't help but yawn.

The white lights above his head kept flickering. Looking at his blurry reflection on the elevator door, Chen Jing suddenly felt like he was dreaming.

dozens of hours ago.

I am still living an ordinary life in the outer world.

Dozens of hours later...

Chen Jing looked at the light curtain in front of him that only he could see, and couldn't help but sigh that this additional question was really difficult to solve.

"This level of completion is too difficult to achieve..."

------------

[Countdown to return: 210 hours, 35 minutes and 41 seconds]

[Additional question: Top ten neighbors]

[Tip: A single tree cannot support itself. In this dangerous world, please try to establish friendly relationships with your neighbors. ]

[Question status: unfinished]

[Completion: 70%]

------------

"It's only 70% now... Whose belongs the remaining 30%... Yanque or Lawrence..."

"Why don't you do it..."

"But it seems that this additional question will not be refreshed until it is completed..."

When he walked out of the elevator, Chen Jing's slightly pale face had the words "I want to show off" written all over it.

If it weren't for the fact that doing this kind of additional questions always gave him the feeling of playing a game and completing side tasks, I'm afraid he would have stopped doing it long ago...

trouble.

What a hassle!

Why not go out and explore when you have some free time?

Even if it's just to open a map or something...

I haven’t visited this city properly yet.

I can only stay here for ten days. How can this time be enough?

------------

[Do it, do it, do it well%%￥]

------------

Suddenly, Chen Jing's footsteps stopped.

Seeing the garbled text popping up on the light screen in front of him without warning, he was stunned for a while, and then felt a little creepy.

"Are you talking to me?" Chen Jing couldn't help but ask.

The text on the light screen did not change, it still stayed on the same line of text.

Chen Jing was not in a hurry to go home at this moment. After stepping out of the elevator, he stood under the light at the entrance of the corridor and waited patiently with his hands on the wall.

About three to five minutes passed.

The text on the light screen has new changes.

------------

[Decoration of house%%￥ pigeon shed*& TV...]

------------

"He's giving me task reminders again..." Chen Jing looked at the information displayed on the light screen and thought to himself, "Decorating the house... it should be for Wei Nan... I promised Yan Que to help her in the pigeon cot. Installed on the rooftop..."

TV set?

Is this a tip to increase Lawrence’s friendship level?

Chen Jing looked at the light curtain and hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Who are you? Why are you helping me?"

There was no response on the light screen, as if Chen Jing's words could not be heard.

"Is it the task prompt given to me by the intelligent AI?" Chen Jing murmured to himself, feeling a little confused, "Then why are there always garbled codes..."

From the moment he stepped into the other world, Chen Jing always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him, especially after those garbled words appeared, this feeling became even stronger.

He had always doubted the authenticity of those garbled words.

He didn't know whether the tips were real or fake.

But now...

Chen Jing always felt that someone was helping him behind his back.

------------

[Decoration of house%%￥ pigeon shed*& TV...]

------------

Chen Jing looked at the information displayed on the light screen in front of him. He couldn't wait for the response he wanted for a long time, and finally sighed.

"No matter who you are...thank you..."

After that, Chen Jing held on to the wall and walked slowly towards home.

But halfway through, he suddenly stopped.

"Do you know where my grandpa is?" Chen Jing asked nonchalantly, and then hurriedly added, "The grandpa in the real world."

The light curtain flickered slightly, as if in response.

"Do you know?" Chen Jing held a glimmer of hope.

The light screen was still flashing, but the characters displayed did not change.

"do not you know?"

When Chen Jing saw no response from the light screen, he sighed in disappointment, but did not put the light screen away. As if he was talking to an unfamiliar friend, he limped toward his home while holding on to the wall.

"The old man is gone. I'm worried about him. Although I didn't have a good relationship with him before, but..."

The lights in the corridor kept flashing, and the buzzing sound of electricity kept echoing in Chen Jing's ears, like some kind of tinnitus that was annoying.

"How is he doing?"

A silent glimmer of light shone on Chen Jing's face, making his already pale complexion even more morbid, and his clear, watery eyes were even more worried.

"Is he having a bad time?"

This time, the light curtain was no longer silent.

In Chen Jing's disbelieving gaze, the garbled characters on the light screen changed for the first time because of his question.

------------

[Very good, good, good%%￥...]

------------

The next second, the light curtain automatically closed.

When Chen Jing anxiously called up the light screen again, the garbled text had already disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared. Only the countdown and additional questions were left on the light screen.

"Very good...that's good..."

Chen Jing closed the light curtain, took out the key and opened the door gently, with a bright smile on his face.

This should be the best news I have ever received since entering the other world.

It seems that the old man is still alive!

So the "person" who has been helping me in secret must also know the old man. Maybe all this was arranged by the old man...

"Master, you are back!"

In the dim living room, only the muted TV was still on. The little skeleton Ryan was sitting on the sofa holding a pillow. When Chen Jing suddenly opened the door and came in, he hurriedly got up and started to get Chen Jing's slippers.

"Master, are you feeling better? Does your head still hurt? I left some medicine in the kitchen for you to drink before going to bed..."

"I feel better."

After Chen Jing entered the room, he smelled the smell of medicine in the air. It was similar to the smell of Chinese herbal medicine in the real world. At least he didn't smell any difference.

"Why are you sleeping in the living room? Isn't the study empty?"

"I can sleep here..." Ryan replied timidly, carefully supporting Chen Jing who was walking unsteadily, "Master, go and lie down first, and I will heat up the medicinal soup and bring it to you!"

"Not urgent……"

Chen Jing took Ryan's bony hand, no, to be precise, it was a bone claw, and when he walked to the study door, he glanced inside.

"It's so messy in here, no wonder you can't sleep... I'll help you clean it up tomorrow... You can just sleep here with peace of mind from now on... What's the point of sleeping in the living room..."

"No need! The sofa is very soft! Ryan likes it very much!"

"It's not okay if you like it." Chen Jing frowned and said, looking down at Ryan, who was no taller than his thigh, "It's not like we don't have a bed at home, so how weird is it for you to sleep on the sofa..."

Ryan didn't know what to say. For him, it was enough to find a place to live in the city. Not to mention sleeping on the sofa, he didn't think there was anything wrong with sleeping in the toilet.

But the young master doesn't seem to like this.

"Tomorrow I will take you to clean up the study. The house is a mess and I have long been dissatisfied with it... By the way, go get a chair. I remember there are new beddings on the wardrobe. I saw them when I was changing clothes that day. .”

Chen Jing was still a little dizzy, but after being helped into the bedroom by Ryan, he couldn't help but start talking, much like the old lady who had left him long ago.

"First, I will spread the bedding on the sofa for you to make up for the night. I will clean up the study room tomorrow and you can live in it... The old man is also serious. I will ask him tomorrow how he turned the study room into a garbage dump. !”

at the same time.

Chen Boxu, who was sleeping in the master bedroom, was turned over by the chatter outside the house. He suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, his wrinkled old face full of doubts.

"Why does this kid talk like his grandma... Did he let the old woman get on top of him?"
