Chapter 87 - That Man (1/2)

The Heavenly Wood God was planning to create a card for Wei Huo. Wei Huo thought that this was a plotline quest. He would be rewarded if he took part in it.

However, he regretted not keeping an Epic-ranked creature as his pet.

Wei Huo thought about it carefully and realized that he still had an Epic-ranked creature. It was the Black Dragon, who was still alive after being thrown into the incubation slot. Now that it was in the incubation slot, the Black Dragon was in time halt mode. However, due to the lack of five slots, the female Zerg’s incubation had yet to begin.

Wei Huo did not want to turn the rhinoceros into a card. Instead, he wanted to turn the dying Epic-ranked creature into a card. After all, the difference between Rare-ranked and Epic-ranked creatures was too great. Wei Huo was unsure if the Epic-ranked creature summoned by the card had an imposing aura.

He approached the Heavenly Wood God. Soon, a notification popped up in his system.

“Please invest in a living creature. Please click for confirmation.”

Wei Huo then opened the Pet Space and the Incubation System. He tried to drag the rhinoceros, Wei Sha, and the dying Epic-ranked Black Dragon into the game with his mind. The three of them entered the game, and he received some notifications.

“Please note that biological creatures will lose their growth after they are turned into cards.”

“You must ensure that the souls of the creatures you invest in are intact.”

“Mythical creatures cannot be turned into cards.”

Wei Huo checked the notifications. It seemed like he could turn the Black Dragon into an Epic-ranked card. That was good news.

The Heavenly Wood God started to urge him. “Child, put the creature that you need to turn into a card in this slot.”

Wei Huo was confused. Did these Gods really have souls? Why did they appear intellectual at times but sometimes as rigid as if something was restricting their thoughts?

It was weird!

Wei Huo was confused, but he suppressed his confusion and threw the Black Dragon into the slot.

Soon, the Heavenly Wood God unleashed his power, and a purple light suddenly descended from the sky.

The Black Dragon’s purple soul gem floated up, and countless purple lights were combined to form a card.

A moment later, a voice came from the sky. “Epic!”

The crowd started applauding mechanically. Wei Huo found it odd that those people, who loved complaining, did not say anything now.

Your behavior is not consistent! Aren’t you surprised that my Rare creature became Epic? You were all shocked when she said I had a Rare creature. Now that I have an Epic one, aren’t you surprised?

You guys are making me uncomfortable.

Wei Huo suddenly sensed that although he had been the center of attention previously, it was all because he was a player. Everyone clapped according to the program settings and acted surprised. It was not real. Everything was just a program setting.

It was as if he was playing a realistic virtual-reality game. Although it was realistic, it was just because of the system settings. At the end of the day, everything was fake!

However, Wei Huo felt that this was not the case. He believed that as long as a player did not interfere in the NPCs’ affairs, their relationship would become real. However, once Wei Huo intervened, they would become rigid.

This applied to the snowmen, Ye Yunxiao, Han Yun, as well as the Heavenly Wood God and the audience.

Something was not right!

Wei Huo was confused but did not say anything. At that moment, someone said loudly, “Alright, is it time for the meeting to end? Time is almost up.”

“It’s about time. It’s time to end this!”

Wei Huo was confused.
