Starting with Growing Mushrooms
Chapter 32 - 30: Setting a Trap for an Ambush
CHAPTER 32: CHAPTER 30: SETTING A TRAP FOR AN AMBUSH
After reading through all the information, Li Feng and Zou Anmeng were incredibly excited.
The light above the living room cast a red glow on the three of them, just like their hearts which were ablaze with passion!
Speechless.
Indescribable.
Li Feng laughed loudly, "Hahaha, we, a group of ordinary folks, actually stumbled upon such earth-shattering news."
"You’re crazy." Zou Anmeng rolled her eyes nearby, opened the fridge, and poured three glasses of water to soothe their throats:
"We’re just here for some fun; if the sky falls, the taller ones will hold it up."
Her voice was gentle, her demeanor always calm, "Our lives are so short, let’s think about how to survive the future, how to work and earn money, how to cultivate and get stronger..."
But how could the fired-up Li Feng drink this beverage?
He hurriedly picked up an empty cup, ran to the windowsill to collect rainwater, and drank it in big gulps, "I’ll drink this!"
The cold, rusty, medicinal residue-filled rainwater entered his throat but still couldn’t put out the fire in his heart.
Then they couldn’t resist browsing again.
Li Feng, watching and getting excited, said:
"I wonder when this memory will be activated, allowing us to enter personally, experience it from a first-person perspective, and move freely?"
This is truly an exhilarating story, very much anticipated.
I...
am questioning the Creator God, swinging a sword as an ancient emperor!
Getting immersed in it would be so cool.
Li Feng felt that he would dream tonight.
Dreaming that he was a great hero from that ancient mythic epic, holding a sword high: I’ve lived my life without regret, the fairest king!
Zou Anmeng rolled her eyes and said:
"You’re thinking too much. This thing will probably get banned soon, and that Angel King might get captured, turned into an Intelligent Brain prototype. We definitely can’t afford to buy this model of Intelligent Brain."
Zou Anmeng was someone who understood the situation, knowing that just seeing it was already a huge opportunity for them.
Li Feng was indignant, "Not necessarily, now everything is open-source, uploaded online, surely someone out there can secretly make it into a book, and then we can browse the black market for it..."
The two chatted as the online world outside was ablaze with activity; a lot of people had gone mad.
"Is the Creator God real?"
"It’s a hoax, all just tricks."
"Creator God? In my opinion, it’s just a more powerful being, perhaps an ancient extinct civilization toying with us."
"Ah, whatever! I want to pledge to the Angels! Please save us."
"Honored ancient one, I want to bring you in, make you the master of Rehe Heavy Industry! Please rule over our humble humanity! (After the Angel Race rules the world, remember my post, don’t come after me)"
—This account has been muted, requiring 500 Thought Blades to unmute.
"Boohoohoo, you still fawn, your Angel Lord is about to be turned into an Intelligent Brain!"
"Exactly! Before the company’s army, even a stray dog would be turned into an Intelligent Brain product! Not to mention ancient creatures? This is a brand new Intelligent Brain model! It can’t escape, simply can’t escape!!"
"I think it’s great, long live Rehe Heavy Industry! It’s worthy of being the modern charitable company that evolved from the Jiangnan Ancient Confucian Family of Hongnong a thousand years ago! Without free Rehe benefits, what books can you read?"
"Those company dogs above, truly despicable, what good can come from these ancient noble family clans? Didn’t you see that the ancient Innate Saint, who studied hard behind closed doors but still failed in the exams, found it easier to break into Chang’an than to pass them! Finally, he overthrew the world, wiped out the Five Great Families and Seven Prominent Surnames, and trampled the bones of nobles on the streets of heaven!"
—This account has been muted, requiring 500 Thought Blades to unmute.
"Who are you calling a company dog? Now you’re muted! Ancient times are ancient times, the current Saints are taken by big companies and cultivated with full dedication from birth, how can it be the same? A deduction of 500 Thought Blades serves you right!"
"Damn it, I have money, cursing once costs only 500 Thought Blades, do you have it? Are you still living paycheck to paycheck, with your salary going towards debts each month, can you afford to curse?"
The netizen labeled as a company dog remained silent.
Passersby also laughed:
"You trolls keep roasting each other every day, Rehe Heavy Industry is thriving; as long as you pay, you can even curse the company!"
There were also passersby who spoke from experience:
"Back in the day, I also paid like a big shot to curse, even paid a protest fee of 5000 Thought Blades to protest against the company, until one month I forgot to pay the cloud memory fee, and this damn company deleted the so-called non-essential memories, like first love, cursing the company, and protesting against the company."
—This account has been muted, requiring 500 Thought Blades to unmute.
"Hahaha, you’re really unlucky, as everyone knows, once memories are deleted, it’s as if you never cursed the company, it’s such a loss, the Thought Blades gone to waste."
Liu Jun watched the online chatter speechlessly.
In this era, staying silent is seen as "refusing to participate in social consensus building" and requires paying a silence tax.
Once you speak, you’re bound to have disputes with others, get in flame wars with netizens, curse the company.
Once you get caught up in cursing, it turns into a battle of financial strength.
-500-500-500.
By the time you realize, you’ve lost your salary, unable to afford food for several months.
This is a perfect maneuver against those educated yet mentally oppressed scholars in need of an outlet.
Vent?
Even venting requires payment.
Liu Jun, seeing this, didn’t know what else to do, just let it run its course.
Just then.
The entire massive video platform was suddenly under attack.
The entire virtual 3D movie theater suddenly shook.
"Angel King, you’ve really come!"
"This entire spirit world made up of Amber Swallowtail Butterfly Intelligent Brains, perfect for restoring your spirit, you really couldn’t resist!"
With a cold shout, a wild spiritual power scattered.
Towering, majestic figures appeared in this space.
A cold, unfeeling voice said, "Divine Trial? Certainly interesting."
A voice filled with mockery said, "Such a mere third stage, possessing that mysterious treasure, actually has abilities comparable to our fourth stage Electric Realm."
Strong individuals in the Electric Realm can completely abandon their bodies, possess souls to inhabit and appear anywhere.
In today’s era, they can even jump from one Intelligent Brain to another.
Using the modern network as a bridge, they can appear anywhere.
Thus, they are called Wisdom Gods, standing above all life forms.
But [Star Rushing Lightning], allowed him to achieve this as well.
A voice scoffed coldly:
"Ancient creature, hand that treasure over to us."
All the viewers wearing the PC001 Amber Swallowtail Butterfly felt a sudden pain in their minds.
Upon reopening their eyes, they were forcibly logged out of the screen.
What the hell!
What the hell!
Li Feng and Zou Anmeng quickly reopened the video, only to see large red words pop up: [This video has been removed for violations]
The three of them exchanged glances in the living room.
Immortals fighting.
No wonder they didn’t stop them from watching, turns out it was a setup.
The two bystanders felt a tinge of regret flash through: "It’s a pity, can’t see their battle anymore."
