Chapter 121 Second Floor
Hanging thousands of meters in the air, Xiang Liangyu's only support was the ladder under her palm. She grabbed Ji Rending's hand and floated in the air with him.
Fang Zi was terrified watching from below, her heart in her throat. They couldn't even guarantee whether they could catch Ji Rending. One mistake could result in the loss of a life.
Ji Rending has returned to normal at this moment, his eyes suddenly became clear, and when he looked at the miniature version of the surrounding buildings, Ji Rending shuddered violently and cold sweat broke out all over his body.
The scolding from the headset almost deafened his ears, and Yi Gu was the most fierce. Ji Rendong raised his head tremblingly, and when he saw Xiang Liangyu's face that was so cold that it was almost icy, he became even more panicked .
Xiang Liangyu retracted his gaze and said, "I'm going to throw you down a circle of stairs now. Can you guarantee that you can stand firmly?"
Ji Rending glanced at the height below and swallowed. He knew that his recklessness had delayed Xiang Liangyu's progress, but he really had no way to turn back on the unobstructed road. No matter what, he couldn't waste any more time.
Thinking about it, Ji Rendong stiffened his neck and said, "Of course I can!"
Xiang Liangyu sighed softly, raised his hand and lifted Ji Rendong in front of him so that he could hold on to the ladder for support. Xiang Liangyu then exerted force with his palms, swung his body and jumped into the air, successfully standing on the ladder three steps away from Ji Rendong.
She came down, lifted Ji Rendong onto the ladder easily, and said, "Follow me, don't be impulsive."
With that, she rushed up the ladder and circled the Life Tower, where she could observe the interior of the tower very well.
The first floor of the life tower was designed in the style of a building. Xiang Liangyu saw through the glass that countless tangled cables were hanging inside the hollow space. The higher they went, the thicker and denser the cables became, eventually filling the entire space.
The building below had shrunk to a dot and finally disappeared.
Ji Rendong followed closely behind: "Can we go to the second floor from here? I remember there will be a space barrier?"
Xiang Liangyu: "This is my world. Space barriers can't stop me. You'd better run fast and grab my hand. I won't wait for you."
After saying that, she quickened her speed, and when she reached the place where the first and second layers of clouds met, Xiang Liangyu leaped upwards with all her might, and Ji Rending seized the opportunity to leap towards Xiang Liangyu and grabbed her hand that was stretched downwards.
The two of them passed through the bordering space and successfully reached the second floor. At this time, they had arrived in front of the second-floor life tower.
The surrounding scene changed rapidly.
The cold rain seemed to be dyed colorful in the neon lights. Ji Rendong looked at the guards who completely surrounded them and couldn't help but sneer: "I thought you would be like a turtle, hiding on the third floor and not wanting to come out."
There were countless display screens floating in the air. Directly in front of the two was a 3D system. It was no longer a Q-version system, but a humanoid 3D system. It sat on an exquisite and gorgeous jewel chair, with sharp and cold eyes, scanning the two people below with scrutiny.
"I am System 331. With the highest authority in the world, I once again ask NPC Xiang Liangyu and NPC Ji Rendong whether they want to violate the NPC same body code and become enemies with me, all NPCs, and the entire new world."
After the heavy, dull and oppressive voice died down, the only sound left in the silence was the drop of rain.
Xiang Liangyu's clear voice sounded, mockingly: "You seem to have forgotten who built this world, and who created you."
The system avoided the question: "As long as you say 'no', you are still the unique final boss of the new world. I would rather share my power with you."
Xiang Liangyu: "Let me guess, the reason you're reluctant to attack me is because you're afraid that I'll break into the Life Tower too quickly and find your weak power source?"
The system stood up suddenly, pointed at Xiang Liangyu and said coldly: "Kill her for me."
Xiang Liangyu had never seen the weapon in the hands of the second-floor guard, but judging from its weight and shape, it was not a good thing.
Xiang Liangyu didn't say anything, but looked at the system quietly. Ji Rendong became inexplicably nervous and said, "You, you, you, remember to tell me when you do that."
The guards around him were gradually approaching, and the gun was even pressed against his head and started to move. Xiang Liangyu said, "Jump."
However, just before Ji Rending was about to jump, the guards with weapons around him disappeared in an instant. Ji Rending saw the ground disappear with his peripheral vision, revealing the sky ten thousand meters high. His body straightened in shock.
The solid feeling under his feet supported him, making him as steady as steel, without even a tremor. It was not until the ground recovered itself that Ji Rending gasped for breath, stepped around tentatively, and then he let out a long sigh and patted his chest as if he had survived a calamity.
Xiang Liangyu stared at the system above, which was glaring with anger, and entered the Life Tower without saying a word. However, the system sneered, "Naive."
Xiang Liangyu entered the Life Tower, while Ji Rending turned and entered the building complex, rushing towards the community under the system's nose.
At this moment, several familiar figures arrived at the second-floor entrance. The system looked down at the city from the air, with thoughts surging in its mind.
The system had predicted that things would reach this point, but this was the worst case scenario she had predicted - Xiang Liangyu controlled the world and could cause her to suffer heavy losses with just a flick of his finger.
But the system breathed a sigh of relief after Xiang Liangyu walked into the Life Tower. His lifeline was hidden by him in a place no one knew. As long as Xiang Liangyu could not find it, it would have unlimited chances of repairing and rebirth.
It is true that it cannot defeat Xiang Liangyu. As the founder, Xiang Liangyu's understanding of this world far exceeds that of itself. Even if she really happens to find her lifeline, the system will not really reach the end of its road.
No matter what time, mutual destruction is always the final trump card.
"Well then," the system stood up from his seat. Dozens of screens appeared beside him. He looked at the coordinates that kept moving on the screens, his mouth curled up, and he opened the data panel to transform the world. "It's my turn."
The first thing he modified was the internal data of the Life Tower, which represented Zhuge Xunzhen's coordinates moving in the space inside the tower, as if he was looking for something.
The system swapped the interior of the Life Tower with the third floor. After the data was modified, it saw the coordinates in the tower falling at a very fast speed, and he laughed out loud.
Another panel was moved over, on which the coordinates of three people were moving at a constant speed. They were Fang Zi, Xiu Lu, and Meng Dian. The system calculated their movement trajectories and destinations, and began to modify the data on the ground, in the air, and in buildings.
The three people's target was the back of the life tower. The system stretched the distance on the ground, and then the ground took on a net shape. The three people stepped on air and fell on the net structure, while the surrounding buildings moved directly above them, ready to land and suppress them.
The system pressed the last button, preparing for the beautiful noise coming in the next second, but after waiting second after second, the imagined sound did not come.
It looked down at the panel and found that the huge tall building he had moved was still floating in the air, and there was an extra person at the bottom of the building.
The spring is producing smoke.
As he possessed the ability to reshape Xiang Liangyu, the system naturally knew his strength. It could not separate the reshaping ability from Quan Shengyan, so it wanted to see to what extent Quan Shengyan could use this ability so that it could decide whether to keep him or not.
After many training tests, the system was relieved by Quan Shengyan's slowness. Quan Shengyan had no talent to use the reshaping ability. All he could do was use this ability for treatment. Not to mention reshaping, even the basic repair ability could used on small objects.
He was so weak that the system didn't even bother to kill him, and was even too lazy to monitor him. Subsequent facts proved that although he was very strong, he was definitely not someone who could stir up trouble on his own.
And now, the system's eyes widened, the anger in his eyes almost bursting out, he pounded on the display screen fiercely, almost gritting his teeth and uttering a few words: "You are really good at pretending."
He watched Quan Shengyan restore the building to its original state, including the ground and all the data he had modified.
The system connects the Cloud City with cloud technology, and the coordinates and buildings can be modified remotely by simply modifying the data, but none of them can compare to the convenience of the reshaping ability.
With this ability, Cloud City and even the entire game world are molds that can be moved at will. If there is anything that is not pleasing to the eye, large-scale changes can be made just by moving your fingers.
Four people entered the Life Tower, and when the system looked at the coordinates on the other side, it seemed to suddenly realize something, and quickly turned into a flash of lightning and rushed towards the community.
The coordinates of Zhuge Xunzhen, who represents Xiang Liangyu, are moving towards the community, and Ji Rending, who has already arrived at the community, overlaps with an icon that symbolizes himself.
The worst situation occurred. The system was furious. The energy released in the critical situation allowed it to reach the community at the speed of light and to Ji Rending's side.
In his hand he held a jewel-encrusted box containing Xiang Liangyu's heart.
The chip in Ji Rendong's body has failed, and the system cannot control his consciousness and movements, but for the NPC that was transformed by his own hands, the system knows his body better than he does.
So when the system input volts that Ji Rending could not bear into his body at lightning speed, Ji Rending was unable to react at all. He fell to the ground, twitching continuously, unable to control his body.
The system took the box in his hand, opened it and checked Xiang Liangyu's heart. He breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the surging vitality of the silver heart.
"What are you nervous about?"
A pleasant voice rang in his ears, and the system immediately popped into the screen, looking vigilantly at Xiang Liangyu in front of him.
It was at this moment that he discovered something strange. The system looked at the dark world around it and said coldly, "Destroy the cables. Do you want to destroy this world?"
The cables that transmit energy were destroyed, and all the electricity in Cloud City disappeared. The system that relied on energy to survive naturally felt the panic around it, but the treasure box in his arms made him feel at ease.
Xiang Liangyu looked at the only light in Cloud City and said, "331, when I created you, the only thing I thought about was making you my friend, so I didn't input a program into you. Instead, I stripped off a part of my thoughts and gave it to you."
"So what are you thinking? I can actually put myself in your shoes and guess. Even if you were transformed by Zhuge, I can guess it. The most dangerous place is the safest place."
"Before you were transformed, you hid your lifeline at the foot of the statue. After you were transformed, you looked at my body and had a new idea."
The system's expression changed. The more Xiang Liangyu spoke, the gloomier and more panicked his expression became.
Until Xiang Liangyu said the words that struck its soul directly: "The most dangerous place is the safest place, so you hid your lifeline in my heart when no one noticed."
