NABC Chapter 72 Daily Intelligence
Chapter 72 Daily Intelligence
To be honest, Chen Feng was a little conflicted on his way here.
Although Cihang Bodhisattva did save him from the Wanhun Banner, it cannot be confirmed that the other party was an ally.
Regardless of the pollution mentioned by the great demon.
It was a bizarre monster formed from the flesh and blood of Lady Tiger after her death.
All of this proves that Cihang Bodhisattva is definitely not a kind person.
It wasn't that Chen Feng was being overly cautious; it was mainly because this was Cihang City, and those who weren't cautious would already be swinging on the third floor of the Happiness Internet Cafe.
But Chen Feng still came.
After learning that Chen Feng was a transmigrator, the great demon asked a question that greatly concerned Chen Feng: "Why didn't the lord discover you?"
This statement reveals that Cihang City has traps specifically designed to target time travelers.
The thought that he knew nothing about this made Chen Feng restless, and he was determined to ask Cihang Bodhisattva for clarification.
"Come on, let me see what you're up to."
Chen Feng was prepared to not believe anything the other party said.
But when Cihang Bodhisattva made her move, she showed Chen Feng what a true big shot really was.
At first, there was the rustling sound of stone powder peeling off.
The sound started out very faint, but then grew louder and louder.
Then, the stone statue turned its head, extended its right index finger, and pointed at Chen Feng.
"what?"
She Qingqing was stunned. She had lived in the temple for hundreds of years and this was the first time she had ever known that the stone statue was actually alive.
Then she cried out, "A monster!"
Chen Feng nearly choked on his saliva: "Aren't you a monster too?"
She Qingqing, at a loss for words, said, "But, but, didn't you see? The stone statue is alive!"
Chen Feng exclaimed, "I saw it! I'm not blind! Shh, don't make a fuss!"
Then She Qingqing stopped talking.
Chen Feng thought to himself that this snake girl was quite obedient, but when he turned around, he found that she was completely still; she had frozen in place.
At this moment, a box appeared in front of Chen Feng.
The number above is DS-03-MRQB, and it says, "Fantastic, I'm gradually understanding everything."
As soon as he finished speaking, the box opened on its own.
[Ding! For unknown reasons, you have temporarily activated the Daily Intelligence System.]
Daily intelligence system?
Chen Feng was taken aback; this system was incredibly famous.
Simply put, it can push several top-secret messages to the host every day.
Some people might say, "This system is terrible. What's the use of knowing a few messages?"
No, no.
Intelligence asymmetry is the greatest resource in the world.
As one of the most powerful systems, the intelligence system can be found in everything from urban novels, telling the protagonist where to find money and which stocks will soar, to cultivation novels, telling the protagonist where immortal artifacts will be born and where there are secret realms to inherit.
And it will absolutely not make a mistake!
This is no different from being omniscient and omnipotent.
For example, the intelligence system is already operational now:
[Today's Intelligence 1: Beware! The Ox-Faced Demon has converted all lottery shop owners into believers. Once someone buys a predetermined winning number, it will immediately descend and cast a self-immolation curse on them.]
"So cunning?"
Chen Feng had previously considered buying lottery tickets to solve his financial problems, but now, just thinking about it sends chills down his spine.
"No wonder the great demon reminded me to buy lottery tickets the moment it found out I was a reincarnated person. It turns out they had already set a special trap for reincarnated people."
"I almost got caught, thank goodness I had a cheat code."
Next is the second one:
[Today's Intelligence 2: Attention! The Demon Lord has kept a warp hound. As an interdimensional predator, it can detect pheromones from transmigrators who do not belong to this world, and will hunt them down accordingly.]
Following the reborn, something specifically designed to deal with transmigrators also appeared.
Chen Feng immediately recalled what the great demon had said: "You're a time traveler? Then why didn't the lord discover you?"
So that's what it meant.
But how did I manage to dodge it?
After a moment's thought, Chen Feng discovered the answer:
"Because I was arrested and sent to an internet addiction academy less than a day after I came into this world."
"The hounds track time travelers using information."
"Those who are arrested and sent to internet addiction academies have their entire existence erased. By some twist of fate, I saved myself?"
The thought of being caught at the internet addiction academy and still wanting to read the second save file and return to the Happiness Internet Cafe made Chen Feng feel short of breath.
"Thank goodness! The system malfunctioned at the time and helped me modify the save file."
"Otherwise, if we don't know the first piece of information, we'll at most lose our lives."
"If you don't dodge the second piece of intelligence, then you'll be blocked from saving your game and killed nine times in a row, resulting in a game over."
While Chen Feng was still trembling with fear, the third one arrived:
[Today's News Item 3: Shocking! The Four Heavenly Kings under the Ghost King, known as "Painted Skin," were actually killed in a bloody battle by a female ghost who had been dead for less than ten years.]
"Oh, this one isn't so shocking."
"Ghost King, who are these guys? Do I know them?"
Chen Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. The intelligence system sometimes pushes some useless information; otherwise, if it were all sensational news, he would have a heart attack.
[Today's Intelligence 4: Debunking the Rumor! The Prophet India is not a secondary account used by the Demon Lord for baiting; her secondary account belongs to someone else.]
"what?"
"If I were foolish enough to tell someone that the organization was founded by monsters, that person might suddenly turn into a demon."
"Then wouldn't I be the clown?"
Upon seeing this message, Chen Feng, who had originally intended to unite the agents to overthrow PEACD, immediately abandoned the idea.
Pooh!
Using a secondary account? How insidious! Despicable! A scoundrel! Shameless!
However, Chen Feng also gained something: India was a trustworthy ally, and her prophetic abilities were very helpful in finding the true form of the bull-faced creature.
The last piece of intelligence.
[Today's Intelligence 5: Breaking News! The thousand-year-old demon Tiger King is preparing a trap to capture the Wolf King, Leopard King, and Lion King all at once.]
[This is a daily intelligence report from our station.]
You're new to hell.
Because the intelligence was getting more and more explosive.
So Chen Feng was really hoping the last message would be big, but instead it was a huge mess: "Dude, your information network is really bad."
The intelligence system should have ended there.
Tick, tick.
Blood dripped to the ground, but two lines of bloody tears suddenly flowed from the empty eyes of the Cihang Bodhisattva statue. Under her intervention, a large amount of information flooded into Chen Feng's mind like a tidal wave through the intelligence system.
The intelligence system would never lie. Cihang Bodhisattva knew that Chen Feng was suspicious, so she directly chose to use the intelligence system to uncover the truth.
"This is!"
Five images flashed through Chen Feng's mind:
First, there was a missionary session. A middle-aged man dressed in a yellow training uniform solemnly declared to the citizens that he foresaw the coming of the end times and the eventual destruction of humanity. He claimed that only by following his instructions could one achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven.
The second part is a grand feast. Guided by a middle-aged man, the believers are tricked into going to the legendary holy land, only to find that it is teeming with demons. Under the command of an old, dwarf man, the demons feast on the food, with juices splashing everywhere.
The third section is a factory, with rotting sewers filled with blood and chunks of flesh. A spider-like monster is patrolling, and next to it are rows of cocoons wrapped in white silk threads, but inside are not insects, but curled-up human embryos.
The fourth segment is a cycle of reincarnation. As the embryo grows, the baby emerges from the cocoon, but it neither cries nor makes a sound, and its eyes are empty. At this moment, a bell rings, accompanied by a demon-suppressing bell, and a red-haired, fanged yaksha stuffs the souls of those who were killed by the monsters into the baby's body.
The last part is a hoax. One holiday, a family of three decided to go on a trip. Just as they were driving and about to leave Cihang City, the car was inexplicably stopped with a bang. The father was very puzzled. He got out of the car, touched it, and found that there was an invisible wall in front of him.
A demon with bat wings, a whip-like tail, and goat horns appeared, laughing and saying, "Oh dear, you've found me."
After sorting out the information in his mind, Chen Feng understood.
Cihang Bodhisattva was originally the guardian deity of Cihang City, but due to some kind of calamity, he fell into a deep sleep.
While he was asleep, five monsters took advantage of the chaos, joined forces to seal Cihang Bodhisattva, and seized Cihang City.
The first link in this plan is the Ox-Faced One. Since the power of the gods comes from faith, in order to weaken the Bodhisattva Cihang, the Ox-Faced One destroyed all the temples, established mental hospitals and the Holy Ox Cult, spread cognitive pollution, and brainwashed the believers into false people.
The second link was taken by a powerful demon, who was proficient in the art of formations. It set up a sealing barrier and sealed away Cihang Bodhisattva.
However, sealing a god requires an astronomical amount of energy, which even a great demon cannot maintain for long. Fortunately, demons can increase their cultivation by eating people, so Niu Mian continuously supplies believers to the great demons.
The third link is the Queen Mother. The main contradiction in Cihang City is the conflict between the monsters' ever-increasing human needs and the backward human birth rate. After all, they eat people every day, and there aren't enough people to eat.
So the alien queen began to artificially cultivate humans using biotechnology.
The fourth ring is the Ghost King. Since artificially created humans have no souls, the Ghost King blocks the path between Yin and Yang, preventing the Cihang citizens from entering reincarnation and forcing them to choose to be reborn as Cihang citizens.
This is called "Cihang is born, Cihang dies"—no one can leave home.
The final link is the Lord, the strongest of the five monsters. Whenever problems arise in Cihang City, such as citizens who discover the truth, powerful humans with potential, or transmigrators who want to save the world, it will nip them in the bud.
"Damn it."
After learning the whole truth, Chen Feng was completely stunned.
He once watched a video series online called "A List of Worlds You Absolutely Shouldn't Travel Through," which said things like Silent Hill and Raccoon City, and that if you traveled there, you could just commit suicide and start over.
But in Cihang City, you can't reopen it.
The cycle of reincarnation has been controlled by these monsters. When you open your eyes after restarting, you are still a citizen of Cihang.
"Everyone else raises pigs scientifically, but these five monsters are here to raise people scientifically."
As for resistance? That's a joke. The official forces are run by monsters. Once you show your potential, you'll be blocked at the door by the final boss before you can even develop it.
"Cihang City actually has a program specifically for transmigrators. Speaking of intelligence systems, are there many transmigrators in this world?"
In response to Chen Feng's inquiry, the intelligence system immediately replied.
"There are many time travelers, but only one at a time. Only when the past dies can the new one come."
Why would there be time travelers?
"This involves a salvation plan by the God of Myriad Machines and the God of Space. Now that both gods are dead, the plan has failed."
"Huh? So there really is an apocalypse. Then, since the plan failed, why did I come here?"
"Because the person dies, but the machine keeps running."
"Even the gods are dead. Has the world been destroyed except for Cihang City?"
"That's right."
"What kind of apocalypse is this?"
"Warning! This apocalypse involves knowledge contamination. Forcing your way into understanding it will have serious consequences. Do you wish to continue learning about this apocalypse?"
Chen Feng immediately backed down: "Never mind what I said."
At this moment, Chen Feng suddenly thought of a bold question: "Is Cihang Bodhisattva a benevolent deity?"
"Yes."
"You're not lying to me?"
"The intelligence system never lies."
Seemingly sensing Chen Feng's suspicion, Cihang Bodhisattva immediately punished him.
[Ding! Daily intelligence system trial has ended]
what?
I don't want that kind of thing!
Having just experienced the fun of the intelligence system, Chen Feng immediately stood at attention: "Boss, I was wrong. As long as you give the order, I will go through fire and water, and I will do my best to get things done."
He remained unmoved by the stone statue.
Chen Feng cupped his hands again and said, "Boss, please, give me this system. If you give it to me, She Qingqing will agree to anything you want."
The stone statue remained unmoved.
Chen Feng had no choice but to reason with them: "If you hire someone to do work, you have to pay them, right?"
Seemingly finding the request reasonable, the stone statue pointed slightly:
[Mission detected!]
[Mission Objective: Eliminate the Great Demon, Ox-Faced Demon, Lord, Ghost King, and Queen Mother; rescue Cihang Bodhisattva; and save Cihang City =)]
[Mission Reward: Each target killed will repair one system.]
Ok?
Has the Great Philanthropist System been activated?
Although there have been precedents of proficiency systems and sign-in systems, this is the first time Chen Feng has actively activated a task system.
Having accepted this mission, whether he liked it or not, he had no choice but to fight to the death against the five monsters.
Actually, when you think about it, there's really no choice.
Upon hearing that there was a time traveler, the five monsters were more anxious than if they were looking for movies.
"Even if I don't provoke them, they'll still come after me, so I might as well strike first."
Having made up his mind, Chen Feng asked again, "What kind of reward is this repair system?"
A system notification sounded in my ear.
[Hextech system under repair]
Repair successful
You have been given one opportunity to choose Golden Hextech.
[The Hextech Fighting Spirits lost due to the death of their previous host have been restored in the ARAM Hextech section.]
[Now, among the three Hextech options, there will be a Hextech powerhouse.]
[Salvage Tube: Equipment that fails to be upgraded will be turned into materials and returned to your system space]
[Master Servant: Your summoned Water Ghost will gain increased size, health, and damage]
[Critical Hit: Your skills may critically strike, dealing double the effect]
Pay first, then get things done.
Chen Feng realized that Cihang Bodhisattva was a meticulous person.
