Chapter 970 The Uses of Taxes
"Qiong, who is that guy floating outside the train?"
"It's probably just unwanted space junk."
Judging from the results, the efficiency of the fourth base was indeed very strong. Apart from the fact that these guys got carried away and ended up having fun on themselves, the transmigrators' underwear was completely exposed. No, it should be said that they were completely robbed, along with their underwear.
[Ding! You've consumed a 'punishment dish,' and you're rewarded with a female version of the Pleasure Star God Aha as part of your harem. Stay tuned for more gameplay features in future updates.]
pat-
The cheat system that had appeared before him without permission and assigned him tasks was thrown back into the body of the transmigrator who had been played with and ruined by Su Lin.
A system like this, where the tasks and rewards are utterly uninteresting, should be humanely destroyed.
"Qiong, eat it. This is your destiny." Xing held up a bowl of purplish-black noodles and continued the previous conversation.
Su Lin stared at the dish and said, "The Culinary Demon Competition is over."
Even though the Culinary Demon Competition was over, this guy's obsession hadn't disappeared. He put the cooled-down Punishment into the microwave to reheat it and then brought it out again.
Not
You should at least wait until the other judges wake up so that everyone can share, instead of trying to hog the spotlight from me.
Xing: "Food made by the synthetic machine is absolutely guaranteed to be hygienic."
Su Lin: "So this thing actually has nothing to do with cooking skills, right?"
Xing: "The Chef's Contest is over."
Su Lin: "."
So why don't you just make a Cosmic Fried Rice? At least it tastes pretty good compared to eating that Punishment Food stuff.
"Foolish!" Xing slammed her hand on the table and said, "I don't care about anyone else, but Qiong, it's you."
"Oh."
"Only you"
"Ah."
"We must return to the fate of garbage!"
"Existence equals garbage?" That's a good joke.
"Ultimately, who doesn't like trash cans?"
Xing sat back down, interlacing her fingers to support her forehead, looking somewhat dejected: "Isn't extracting the power to sustain life from discarded waste also a kind of [existence]?"
"To make you a true Galaxy Baseball Man, I threw all the garbage bags I'd kept in my bedroom for two and a half years into this game."
"But you didn't eat a single bite."
So should I feel guilty?
Su Lin glanced at the junk meal on the table. Humans can't understand each other. Although she understood that these dishes had come at a great cost to Xing, she would still rather have a cup of Himeko's coffee.
"Never mind." Xing stood up as if she had lost all her strength, seemingly understanding that such things cannot be forced.
"Xingbao, wait!" Su Lin picked up the punitive food and walked up to the other person, saying, "I accept your kindness."
"Qiong?" Xing's pupils contracted.
Su Lin picked up the food and brought it to her mouth, but then paused, saying, "But this is very precious food, isn't it?"
His eyes were filled with longing, his Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed, and finally, reluctantly, he put down the bowl of noodles that smelled like garbage.
"You eat, Xing, I'm not hungry."
What?!
Xing staggered back half a step, staring in astonishment at Qiong, who was making a gesture of 'giving away the pear'.
As if non-existent memories were fermenting, the arc of light belonging to Qiong materialized into reality at this moment. During the time spent on the train, there were scenes of Xing and Qiong bickering and teasing each other. But whenever they encountered delicious food, Qiong would always secretly put it in his pocket for Xing to take back.
"I'm not hungry, you eat first, I'll watch you eat."
"Dome"
"We can't let these precious garbage bags go to waste."
"I understand."
咕噜 咕噜
thump.
Xing lay on the ground, her eyes vacant—[HP -15%]
It's a sophisticated percentage deduction mechanism!
The sentiment has been appreciated, and the food was not wasted. Congratulations!
Su Lin smiled and picked up another glass of sparkling water on the table, which was emitting a sweet purple light. She took a sip and wondered why the drink tasted so strange.
"what is this?"
"That emetic requires eight garbage bags to make."
That thing that reduces 99% of your health? Never mind then.
Su Lin involuntarily opened her mouth, bent over in a disheveled state, and gagged violently. It took her a while to get rid of the shock that was imprinted on her mind.
"One cup refreshes the mind, two cups keep you from getting tired, and three cups grant you immortality. It tastes amazing."
He wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, gave a thumbs-up to the side, and revealed a weak but sunny smile: "Would you like a drink too? It seems we're out of trash bags. You guys sit down for a while, I'll go check the trash cans."
Xiao Yan: "."
I believe you.
I thought I was going to see some gossip, so I stood there watching intently, holding my breath. But after watching it, why did I feel like washing my eyes?
"Forget about the drinks, but... this system that suddenly appeared on me isn't the competition reward you gave me, is it?" Xiao Yan got back to the main topic.
"system?"
[Super Villain System: Warning to the host, revealing the system's existence will attract unwanted attention! The system has the right to automatically uninstall itself if necessary!]
Does Xiao look like a villain?!
I am a system.
Believe it or not, I can absorb some of Su Lin's luck to bring you back to life.
This garbage system is ridiculous! Get out of here!
"Su Lin, a chat group with 10,000 people has appeared here, and they're all characters from parallel universes of me. Do you know what's going on?" Shirou Emiya walked over, looking troubled.
"What strange parallel world route have you designed this time?"
[Shirou Kotomine: A newcomer?]
[Shirou Tohsaka: Good day, my other self.]
[Shirou Takamachi: Why does your name sound so strange?]
[Supreme Sword Master Shirou: "."]
It seems like I've spotted a possibility I've never seen before?
Before long, more and more people came to him, so Su Lin had to call Chen Jun, who opened another spatial door and found Loki, who served as a component of the 'brain' synthesis.
This guy was just like a comic book artist who couldn't write during the day but had a burst of inspiration at night, writing furiously on blank sheets of paper, designing all sorts of new comics about his group members.
"I just wanted to give everyone some social gifts to foster friendships, didn't I?"
Loki pushed up the monocle carved from crystal on his right eye socket and smiled, "It has already undergone preliminary harmless treatment, so please use it with confidence."
After hearing the explanation, everyone felt a sense of pleasant surprise.
“Those things have been parasitized by them,” Su Lin said.
"Get this thing out of my body right now!"
"Fuck your damn Dao of Forgetfulness!"
Just like when people suddenly find something like a system or panel, they come to Su Lin to discuss it. Besides trust, they also wonder if Su Lin is the one who did it.
But once these things are tainted with elements of Genesis IV, they become universally disliked and unwanted.
That's what word-of-mouth is.
Once the more troublesome time travelers were identified, Loki, acting as the brain, began to parasitize them and orchestrated the time travelers' uprising against the Time and Space Administration.
Manipulating and monitoring the timeline is Loki's forte, something even the Xiling faction has to send people to learn from. So where can those time travelers go?
Under Loki's deliberate arrangement, the timeline unfolds with the group members as anchor points, making them mistakenly believe that they have successfully escaped to a different world. However, as time goes by, things like systems and panels are also transformed from shallow parasitism to deep parasitism by 'Loki the Head Four'.
This involves beings hidden in the 'Endless Void' or 'Endless Abyss'. Without this method, Chen Jun and the others might not be able to investigate the true nature of these 'golden fingers' or 'cheat codes'.
Of course, not all time travelers are related to this type of being.
According to the testing and screening process designed by Tavel, any transmigrator who serves as a carrier, carrying the law's 'USB drive' or 'virus', often also carries a kind of 'intelligence-reducing aura' to influence the things around them, thereby accelerating the installation of the virus and the speed at which it takes over.
When some people are caught by the Time and Space Administration, the radiant effect on them will subside on its own, which proves that some hidden beings have self-awareness and are monitoring another world.
"Shadow City needs to conduct anti-fraud campaigns. Be wary of unidentified old men and 'golden fingers' from unofficial channels," Chen Jun said.
There probably isn't any formal definition for these things, right?
When faced with such an opportunity, most normal people would choose to ignore the risks and proceed with the installation, taking a gamble.
Chen Jun explained in the chat group: "[I'm worried that 'Loki' and the others might get into this kind of game and create a system to deceive ordinary transmigrators.]"
Uh... that's certainly a possibility. Will a bunch of dirty things infiltrate the system of all the heavens and myriad worlds in the future?
Everyone turned their attention to Su Lin.
"."
Should a disclaimer be used to establish a sanctification at this point?
After a moment of silence, Su Lin decided to focus on the immediate problem, such as how to follow the clues to find out what was behind it. He couldn't leave it all to Ji Tou Si to handle.
“Mr. President, I actually have no objection.” Loki raised his hand and said, “It’s reasonable for us to impose some additional tariffs when we invite them into Marvel.”
No, you have a problem with that.
After all, the current president is essentially permanent, and Stark would almost certainly vote against him.
“We can provide an artificial universe cluster that simulates the multiverse,” Chen Jun proposed. “Let’s try installing the virus under monitoring, and then do some in-depth analysis to see what’s going on.”
"However, we may have been discovered, and avoiding being spied on in the future is also a problem."
After waking up and learning what had happened, Meng Qi said, "You could actually try going to find Ye Fan."
Ye Fan?
Can we contact people from the future through the Time and Space Administration?
"No," Meng Qi shook his head: "The City of All Heavens."
"Why do you think that the rumors about the Devourer of All Realms, your harmful information, and your novels and works haven't spread widely throughout the myriad worlds?"
Ye Fan leaned back in his chair, pointed around, and said, "How much tax do you think we paid?"
"Wasn't Meng Qi the one silencing people?"
"."
Ye Fan reluctantly laid out the points and credits consumed by the City of All Heavens in front of everyone: "Using nothing to control something, manipulating influence, and interfering with all realms."
Starting in August, I will continue updating without interruption and will also add more chapters.
