Chapter 987: Chapter 545 Wang, please tell me_2 Chapter 987: Chapter 545 Wang, please tell me_2 Enshrouded by the river of destiny, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord felt himself a part of this flowing river.

In the face of destiny, even a Heavenly Lord was but a solitary boat in the universe, at any moment ready to be burned to ashes by the wrath of heaven and earth.

Countless thunderbolts roared above the river of destiny, innumerable clouds of tribulation surged toward Fang Cheng. The consequences of interfering with destiny began to emerge as the tribulations meant for humanity rushed toward this place, intent on tearing Fang Cheng apart.

At that moment, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord felt like a grasshopper caught in a cage, with a mischievous child peering in from outside, sizing him up in ways he could not comprehend.

But just as he thought his soul would scatter, he discovered a towering figure appearing before him.

Fang Cheng stood before him; myriad tribulations melted like ice and snow before him, not a single speck falling.

Was this the magnificent power of an Immortal about to ascend?

In the eyes of Zhiyi Heavenly Lord, Fang Cheng had transcended this world, reached a higher dimension, where even a simple glance could change countless matters and steer all things in the world toward completely different directions.

A few minutes later, the divine light in Fang Cheng’s eyes retracted, and his aura became even more profound.

The tribulation clouds above the river of destiny also completely dissipated, and though it might have been Zhiyi Heavenly Lord’s illusion, he felt the river of destiny seemed broader, its waters calmer.

Fang Cheng let out a soft breath and said, “It was a bit more troublesome than I thought. But it’s okay, I’ve resolved the major issues. The rest is up to the players themselves now. I also increased their chances of triggering opportunities, which should enhance their strength more quickly.”

Noticing that Zhiyi Heavenly Lord was still dazed, Fang Cheng patted him and said, “You were supposed to die, but it’s okay, I’ve sorted it out for you.”

Zhiyi Heavenly Lord shuddered.

What kind of catastrophe that could have also led to his demise?

Although he knew he shouldn’t ask, he couldn’t help but say, “What kind of tribulation was it?”

“It’s hard to see clearly, but you died quite casually.”

“Can death be described as casual? Heavenly Lord, I don’t want to be disrespectful, but perhaps you should brush up on your grammar.”

“But it really was quite casual,” Fang Cheng said awkwardly, “How should I put it, it was like being urinated on by a stray dog passing by and then just dying like that.”

“That’s enough, I can feel just how casual it was,” Zhiyi Heavenly Lord sighed, “So the favor you owed me before has been used, right?”

“Yes, and it’s actually turned around, and I owe you one now. But don’t worry, you can repay it.”

Zhiyi Heavenly Lord looked helplessly at Fang Cheng, feeling utterly unconcerned about the debt.

Fang Cheng then pulled out a list and handed it to Zhiyi Heavenly Lord.

Reading the list, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord read with a puzzled expression, “Xu Qingling, Gao Tianyun, Lei Peng, Huang Ping, Xiao Du… what about these people?”

“Important figures, they will have significant missions later on. Just keep them safe. Oh, and this too.”

Looking at another sheet, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord became even more puzzled, “Neural networks, biological computers, mysticism, life sciences… what about these?”

“Important future technologies, remember to enlighten them. Feel free to use the money in the company account, just remember to issue invoices.”

Staring at the full sheet of paper, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord’s face turned pale, his mouth bitter.

How much did he owe in the future?

How long would he have to work?

Players in the game were still unaware that they had helped Fang Cheng accomplish a major task, still reveling in the joy of microtransactions.

Though the fashion items had no attributes, they sure looked good!

Female players immediately invested hundreds to pull wildly in lucky draws, and players with girlfriends did the same, then gave the outfits to their girlfriends.

The atmosphere in the game grew even more lively as the big spenders began pursuing unity in the service, striving to equip their guilds well for unified actions later on.

And though these clothes had no attributes, they would not be destroyed, which was pretty neat.

Some streamers put together some abstract skins for themselves and began trying to shoot short plays in the game, actually gaining quite a bit of attention.

For the sake of the live-streaming effect, Wang was no exception, taking the time to create several sets of nice skins.

After getting the skin, he did not bother with it anymore, and continued to investigate the issue with the platypus-like creatures.

Some people felt that it was already pretty good to have developed an AFK feature with the platypus-like creatures, and that was probably enough.

Although the tattoos looked quite eerie, this game was full of strange content, one more wouldn’t hurt.

But Wang felt it was not enough.

Even though he generally joked around, appearing as if he cared about nothing, Wang at heart was quite obstinate.

With these platypus-like creatures, he could sense pain and confusion.

As the first player to discover these creatures, he felt it was necessary to delve deeper.

So, while other streamers began spending money to get new skins and used them to pull stunts, he stayed in the AFK area with Qingling, continuing his research on what was going on with these creatures.

Standing on the empty ground of the void, he stared at the tattoos beside him and fell into deep thought.

“What’s going on with these tattoos?” Wang stared at the tattoos clinging to his body and asked, “Qingling, what do you think?”

“I don’t know, but it’s pretty interesting,” Qingling sighed helplessly, “Um, Mr. Wang, can I change my outfit while you think? I have a few outfits I want to recommend to the viewers today.”

“Sure, go ahead. But be careful, there’ve been a lot of freaks recently, don’t change into any animal-related clothes.”

[Old Man, what do you mean, are we Furry?]
“You all know what I mean, okay, let me think further.”

Qingling smiled awkwardly, then started changing outfits.

The clothing was bought by Qingling herself; some outfits indeed looked quite nice, so she would recommend the corresponding combinations to her viewers as an extra segment.

Her aesthetic was good, some clothes could be worn out in reality, so this segment was also quite popular, benefitting from the “Stellar Nebula’ update.

While selecting clothes, Qingling introduced to her livestream audience how to match them, unwittingly pulling out over a dozen different outfits.

Even though it was costly, the audience’s donations quickly compensated for it, making Qingling’s livestreaming enjoyable.

However, when she drew out one particular outfit, something started feeling off around her.

As soon as the outfit appeared, the nearby tattoos seemed to light up and started fleeing, as if they were afraid of it.

Noticing the abnormal tattoos, Wang’s eyes sharpened.

Looking at the white dress in Qingling’s hands, he said seriously, “Give it to me.”

“Okay, Mr. Wang.”

Taking the dress, Wang did not hesitate and immediately put it on.

At that moment, the entire livestream went silent.

Then, the chat exploded!

This was the first time Wang had presented himself in women’s clothing. The game character resembled Wang by about eighty to ninety percent, so it could be essentially considered his true self.

Many viewers commented it was the most disgusting scene they had seen in ten years, while some players thought Wang still looked quite handsome.

A chorus of “What the f**k” rang out, and Wang hit the trending searches after a long time, though he had no energy to care about it now.

He just wanted to know why the tattoos feared this dress, what was so special about it.

Although the dress had no attributes, the style and origin of the dress might hide some clues to unravel the secrets of this place.

Thinking about this, Wang got thoroughly excited!

Of course, to other players, it seemed like Wang had just awakened his own excitement and couldn’t contain himself.

While Wang was intently researching the dress, a trending search quietly started.

[Wang, you tell me, who is the freak now?]
