Chapter 34：Deadly Virus (2/2)
Wei Huo scrunched his brows and asked Lu Qiqi, ”Are you afraid of death?”
Based on past events, Lu Qiqi seemed as if she did not care much about her life and death. It seemed as if she treated herself like a completely artificial being. She seemed like she was unbothered with death.
Lu Qiqi shook her head to Wei Huo's question. ”I don't know what fear is.”
Wei Huo continued asking, ”Can you cultivate Qi?”
If she could cultivate Qi, she should be able to increase her lifespan through it. As long as he found the cave to pass on the Qi Cultivation skills, her lifespan could be increased. When the next trial is over, her freedom could be controlled to prevent her from returning to God's Gate. That crisis would then be resolved.
Lu Qiqi replied to his surprise, ”I'm an artificial being, I have no soul. I can only cultivate Qi but I can't refine my mind or return to the void.”
Wei Huo let out a sigh of relief. As long as Qi Cultivation was possible, everything was fine. He could buy some time at the very least. Moreover, she mentioned 'Refine My Mind' and 'Return To The Void'— had she meant to say 'Refining Essence Into Qi', 'Refining Qi Into God', and 'Refining The Mind To Return To The Void'?
Was this the path after Qi Cultivation? In other words, the lifespan of 2,000 years was not the limit, he could still obtain more years!
However, she mentioned soul…
Wei Huo did not overthink it and said, ”After your calf recovers, we'll set out for the cave!”
Lu Qiqi did not say no, nor was she excited about it. It was as if she had nothing to do with whatever Wei Huo had just said.
A month went by and Lu Qiqi's injury had fully recovered thanks to the meat abundance in the warehouses. She had sufficient nutrients for her recovery.
After Lu Qiqi recovered from her injury, Wei Huo could not wait to bring her along in search of the cave. He wanted to look for a way to pass on Qi Cultivation Skills so that even if Lu Qiqi said no, he could still force her to cultivate her Qi anyway.
Lu Qiqi heard Wei Huo's plan and replied, ”Qi Cultivation Skills are included in the second trial. If we can find the cave, I will agree to inherit the skills and perform trials with it.”
Wei Huo let out a sigh of relief after hearing what Lu Qiqi had said.
Wei Huo began packing up and equipping himself. Together with Lu Qiqi and the panda, they headed out to the south.
The northern part of the Central continent had already been explored by 10,000 artificial intelligence beings however, they had yet to find the cave. Wei Huo did not plan to waste his time. He planned to bring Lu Qiqi and the panda to the south and explored uncharted territories.
At that very moment, God's voice could be heard.
”New event added, Cliffs. From this moment onwards, there will be possibilities for treasures or scrolls to be found under cliffs.
”New event added, Dragon's Treasure. From this moment onwards, there will be Dragon's Treasure at dragons' habitat. The treasure includes Weapons, Scrolls, Props, Medicine, Golden Coins, Magical Stones, and more.
”Note: the first Epic-ranked living creature appears.
”New location Holy Area added.
”New creature Protoss added. The Protoss are intelligent creatures living in the Holy Area. They possess powerful strength and long lifespans.”
Wei Huo paid attention to God's updates and changes to the game. He did not understand what kind of game God was planning to turn the world into, but it seemed like the game incorporated elements of games from before the time halt.
However, Wei Huo gradually realized that humans would find themselves in a depressing environment after the time halt ends. Would humanity be ended by God?
God had added many more methods to obtain scrolls. It was probably because scrolls were rare. That was good news to Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi as they went on with their journey to the south with sufficient resources.
Ten years flew by.
They stopped in their tracks because of a sudden system warning.
”Deadly virus discovered!”
