Chapter 297: Privilege Upgrade
Chapter 297: Privilege Upgrade
The sky began to turn pale, and when the first ray of sunlight shone in, the monster that Feng Rong had transformed into in the house began to change.
The monster turned back into human form and the immobilization effect became invalid. The moment Feng Rong completely turned into human form, the system took back all the immobilization effects.
He fell to the ground with a "thump".
"Ouch! Hiss..."
"Why am I on the ground?" Feng Rong rubbed his red head and asked Qin Baiqing through his fingers with a grin, "Did you push me off the bed?"
"You fell down by yourself." She rolled her eyes and stood up, then opened the window and saw that the world outside had returned to normal.
Some of the monsters wandering around at night were people who did not have time to return home, and some were street beggars. They seemed unaware of everything that happened at night and dispersed in confusion.
Qin Baiqing retracted her gaze and said goodbye to Feng Rong: "This is my first time here, and I want to take a good look around. Thank you for your hospitality today, but I have to go now."
"See you again if we're lucky." She waved her hand.
The two said goodbye as usual. Feng Rong was still rubbing his red forehead as he watched Qin Baiqing leave with brisk steps.
At the end, he reminded loudly: "Remember not to stay outside at night!"
"I know, I know."
The perfunctory voice gradually faded away. Qin Baiqing blended into the crowd, observing the appearance of the residents, trying to find out the difference between them and ordinary people.
Sadly, there was no difference in the end.
They were just a group of ordinary flesh and blood bodies. After the night faded, they turned back into ordinary people, with nothing abnormal looking on their bodies.
She gained nothing, so she simply followed her instincts again.
He picked a direction that disgusted him the most and followed the disgusting smell all the way. The further he went, the more difficult it was to ignore the disgusting smell.
Just when Qin Baiqing was feeling chills all over because of the polluted air, the sky began to darken.
The night fell faster than yesterday. The color of the sky changed in just a few breaths. The sunlight that was shining brightly not long ago turned into a dim yellow. A chill ran up Qin Baiqing's spine.
She quickened her pace and ran desperately towards the core of the pollution, trying to find the center of the world before night fell completely.
But the faster she ran, the inky black night seemed to become more urgent, and it actually sped up its pace. In just a few steps, all the pedestrians around Qin Baiqing turned into monsters.
A group of huge monsters of different sizes but similar shapes buried Qin Baiqing.
She tried to dodge with disorderly steps, but soon there were more and more monsters and the way ahead was blocked. Qin Baiqing had no choice but to call for help from the system and plunged into the system space.
"Phew... that was a close call."
"Thank you, Tong." She patted her chest in shock, but there was not much fear on her face. Instead, she said thankfully: "We have found the right place. It's in this direction. I can feel that the center of the world is just a little further ahead."
That was the contamination core she was looking for.
【Host, don’t be blindly optimistic. 】
"I know, you don't need to pour cold water on me," Qin Baiqing admitted bluntly, "I have no cultivation now, and I can't use the power of heaven. I am at the mercy of others here. I really don't have the means to deal with so many monsters."
So much so that he had to hide in the system space before taking any action.
"so!"
She stood up suddenly, slapped the system panel loudly, and said in a dignified manner: "So, I apply to become the first host of the system, so that I can use the power of heaven to kill everyone!"
"But I'm not trying to take my mother's place." Qin Baiqing added hastily. With a strong desire to survive, she said, "It's just that I have the same authority as the first host. My mother is still my mother."
The system followed suit and forwarded Qin Baiqing's application to Si Lingyue. She received Qin Baiqing's message immediately without any delay.
"Why did you suddenly think of asking for permission?" She frowned, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong.
The system space fluctuated for a moment, and what was transmitted back was not Si Lingyue's reply, but her real body directly entering the system space and meeting Qin Baiqing through the system.
"Are you in trouble?" Si Lingyue became much more formal and checked her external situation.
Si Lingyue had a full view of the people outside and this bizarre little world. She thought silently for a moment and disagreed, "This matter is related to the struggle for the pollution core and the Heavenly Dao. The responsibility is heavy. Since it won't cause any harm for a while, you can let me handle it."
"No, mother. If you don't deal with it now, I can't get out..."
I am already trapped in the barrier, so it is not urgent as my mother said.
"You don't want me to stay here and wait for you to come?"
"..."
"Well, I will give you the authority of the first host, but you must not be too stubborn. If you encounter danger, hide in time. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. You don't have to rush to take on these responsibilities now."
Si Lingyue has been dealing with the system for many years, and has long since developed a calm and composed attitude, without any panic.
"System, upgrade the permissions of the second host."
"She will share the first-level authority to use the system. From now on, she and I will have the same rights."
【Ding--】
[Congratulations to the host for upgrading your authority. You can now kill everyone. ]
The two quickly reached a consensus. Qin Baiqing tentatively stretched out a hand, and when she found that she could really use the power of heaven in her body, her smile instantly widened. She jumped out in a hurry without even saying goodbye to Si Lingyue.
He was in a completely different state from when he was being chased and running around.
"Haha...where have all the monsters gone? Let me teach them a lesson!"
The sky outside was clear and bright.
"Why is the sky clear again!" Qin Baiqing and the system were dumbfounded. Standing in the crowd, she looked like an alien who had suddenly fallen ill.
The last time I stayed overnight at Feng Rong's house, it clearly wasn't this fast. I calculated the time at night and it was two hours longer than the outside world!
How come I went in now to upgrade my permissions and it’s already daybreak outside!
Qin Baiqing was certain that the flow of time did not speed up in the system space. The only explanation was that something had happened to the weather outside, and the monsters all returned to normal when they saw the sunlight.
Now they are living in an orderly manner under the bright sunlight, just like many years ago.
"It's the old Heavenly Dao who's behind this," she said, looking at the ordinary people coming and going around her, feeling a chill in her heart. "I know what the old Heavenly Dao means. Is he trying to say that I'm killing innocent people?"
The person in front of him was created by the old way of heaven. He is an ordinary person, but he is no longer complete. After being polluted and infected by the old way of heaven, he can only become a monster that resembles a human but is not human.
Now that the old Heavenly Dao had placed their appearance as ordinary people in front of him, Qin Baiqing only felt that the old Heavenly Dao was sinister and cunning, and its methods were disgusting.
She gave up the idea of killing her all the way, since ordinary people would not attack her during the day anyway.
This time, they rushed towards the core of the pollution again. The old Tiandao no longer tried to stop them. Qin Baiqing's pace became faster and faster, and he only thought that he must teach Tiandao a good lesson when he saw it!
