Chapter 233 Farewell to the Black Death, the Road to Godhood

Hearing this news, Su Ming felt much more relieved.

At the very least, the real world is still safe now, but who knows when the real world will no longer be safe. We must seize the opportunity and improve our strength as soon as possible.

You must try your best to complete the new copy in that CD game perfectly!

Su Ming made up his mind secretly, but he was not too anxious. After such a long period of struggle, he had accumulated a lot of trump cards in his hand. The rat tail that Brother Ba gave him before could not only save his life in the copy, but it was also said to be effective in the real world.

There is also the scapegoat that you just obtained, which can also save your life in the copy.

These are his tolerance rates. If you can avoid using them, it is better to never use them.

Only when you have a trump card in your hand can you feel confident and you will not panic even if the situation becomes worse.

Su Ming asked again: “What is the attitude of the General Administration regarding the Death House near my home?”

What he asked about was, of course, the matter of the Black Reaper. After all, he was the one who brought this guy here, so he had to show some concern for him.

Zhang Tieshu: “Well, after the General Administration conducted an assessment, it was determined that the Grim Reaper in the Grim Reaper Lodge is a potential partner. We have already made several contacts.”

“Moreover, according to expert analysis, the Black Death here is just a projection or clone of a powerful being. His real body is very likely a god-level being!”

“As for the transaction with the Black Death, it has been carried out twelve times, and the lifespans involved have totaled more than 50,000 years. This is just a preliminary transaction attempt, and the scale may be expanded in the future…”

Wow, the Black Reaper and the Countermeasures Bureau are really in touch with me.

Unexpectedly, the other party has become so successful so quickly and it seems that he is about to become one of the suppliers of the Countermeasures Bureau.

Zhang Tieshu sighed, “Alas… It’s a pity that the various goods of the Grim Reaper are quite effective, but they can’t be brought into the horror game. Otherwise, when clearing dungeons, the player’s survival rate would be much higher.”

“I believe many players are willing to sacrifice a certain amount of lifespan in exchange for an increased survival rate. After all, given the current situation, not many players are sure they can survive more than five years, let alone die of old age.”

……

After talking about some other miscellaneous things, Zhang Tieshu left.

According to what he said, the branch office originally wanted to give him some more points as a reward, but the props given by the headquarters were too important, so those rewards were gone.

If he still needs points, he can exchange them for bloody items. The Lucheng Countermeasures Bureau is happy to exchange points for bloody items.

He was also asked whether he was interested in challenge copies in other cities and whether he wanted to participate. The Lucheng Countermeasures Bureau could help make the contact.

Su Ming naturally did not agree. The challenge copies that had not been solved yet would most likely not be easy to deal with. Besides, he had to use his time to complete the game on the CD.

Participation in the challenge copy is optional, but participation in the game on the CD is mandatory.

Moreover, there are also believers of the End who will come to cause trouble for him and will definitely not let him get away with it easily.

All he can do is to try to grasp as much information about this copy as possible, so that he can firmly grasp the initiative and turn this copy into his own home.

Only in this way can we gain the greatest possible advantage.

After all, he was completely in the dark and had no idea what kind of strength, abilities, or props the End believers who came to cause trouble for him had.

Since we cannot know the enemy, what we can do is to prepare as much as possible and firmly grasp the two factors of geographical location and timing.

After Zhang Tieshu left, Su Ming continued playing the game for a while.

When you go out to eat after dark, take a walk to the commercial street. As Lucheng has returned to safety, many shops here have begun to reopen.

Although there is unrest everywhere now and the number of players has reached an astonishing 20%, social order has not collapsed.

The power of inertia is strong. Many restaurant owners, even if they become horror game players, still run their own restaurants, but the business hours have become more casual.

After finishing his meal, Su Ming came to the former Mixue Ice City, which is now the Death Hut.

On the black sign, the four bloody words “Death Cabin” were written. A black death wearing a black robe and a mask on his face floated inside, holding a mobile phone in his hand and playing with it enthusiastically. Su Ming: “What brand is the phone? Huazi or Fruit?”

The Black Death didn’t even raise his head: “Of course it’s Huazi, the latest model of MateRT.”

“Hehehe! What a rare guest! Weren’t you in a hurry to cut off contact with me and keep your distance before? Why are you coming to me now?”

Su Ming smiled: “We need to keep a certain distance, but we can’t stop contacting each other. I just came back from the dungeon and wanted to chat with you.”

Black Reaper put down his phone and cursed, “Damn it! I lost again! The damn officials saw that my win rate was too high, so they matched me with all the crap. One game, two of them were idle, and two of them were killed.”

Su Ming: “Tell the people in the Countermeasures Bureau that they can help you win more games by just giving the game company a heads-up.”

The Black Death shook his head: “That’s not necessary. What’s the point of playing like this?”

He looked at Su Ming and exclaimed, “Wow! You’ve become much stronger again! This growth rate is not bad.”

Su Ming: “Do you mean my body is getting stronger? How strong does my physical fitness have to be to reach the level of a demigod, or to become a god?”

Black Death: “I don’t know. There are countless paths to becoming a god. Different races have different paths to becoming a god. Even two different individuals in the same race may have very different paths to becoming a god.”

“If transcendence is the beginning of individual specialization, then becoming a god is the process of continuous accumulation of this specialization, from quantitative change to qualitative change.”

“However, how you choose to walk this path is up to you. I also made countless attempts and achieved great results in many fields before I finally found the path to becoming a god.”

It turns out that this is the origin of the Black Death’s many titles and names.

Su Ming gained something and had a better understanding of becoming a god.

According to the Black Death, there are two key words to becoming a god. One is “specialization”, which is the process of strengthening the body. In fact, it is the specialization in physical fitness. For players like them, this seems to be the cornerstone of everything. If he guessed correctly, this should be a necessary condition to become a god.

Another key word is “try”. Keep trying new things. Only by constantly trying can you hope to find a way to become a god.

The Black Death was very considerate. Su Ming thanked him: “Thank you, Brother Death. I have benefited a lot from you!”

Black Death: “Don’t be polite, we are brothers.”

“But let me make it clear first, the path I point out may not be the right one, and may not be suitable for you. You should decide for yourself. I have also seen some gods who did not become gods by making many attempts, but by being determined and persistent in following one path. Some others became gods without knowing how. In short, it is up to you to decide.”

Su Ming: “I understand.”

Black Death: “Are there any other questions you want to ask? Just ask them all at once.”

Su Ming: “Well, there is one more thing. In my next dungeon, there are followers of the End who are going to snipe me. Brother Death, is there anything you want to remind me about the followers of the End?”

The Black Death knocked on the table and said, “End believers… I didn’t expect you to face them so soon. This group of guys is really troublesome and difficult to deal with. It’s hard to fight them. You kill them wave after wave. It’s simply endless. With your current strength, unless you are willing to sacrifice your life and use the Death Scythe, it’s really hard to deal with you.”

He changed the subject: “However, I can provide you with another idea. If you can’t beat them, just join them. According to your potential, they should give you this opportunity.”

“This way you can turn your enemies into friends and you won’t have to worry about them dealing with you.”

Su Ming’s mouth twitched: “There is such a trick? But if I really do this, the Countermeasures Bureau will deal with me, right?”
