Chapter 1295 Lottery and Watch! (Please Subscribe)

'Ding! Lottery draw begins! Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn Su Mingcheng's talent 'Sweet Talk'!'

(Note: This talent increases the host's feminine affinity by 30% when the host speaks.)
Hua Shier nodded. Su Mingcheng did have that talent. His mouth was as sweet as honey. In the original story, he coaxed Zhao Meilan and Zhu Li. Hmm, how was that song sung again? He kept babbling on and on. His mouth was so eloquent. If he wanted to coax a woman, he could come up with a different phrase every time.

Hua Shier wasn't entirely satisfied with this first lottery draw, but it's an urban drama, so it's understandable.

Having already experienced the first lottery, Hua Shier had little expectation for the second one. The communication system started the lottery as soon as possible.

'Ding! Lottery draw begins! Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn Su Mingcheng's talent skill 'Ruthless Flower Destroyer'!''

(Note: This talent increases the host's combat power by 30% when facing female opponents.)
Hua Shier couldn't help but burst into laughter. What the hell was this? One second they were spouting sweet words, and the next they were talking about Irish big feet?

However, considering the original plot where Su Mingcheng beat up Su Mingyu, his fighting power probably did have an extra boost, making him worthy of the title "ruthless destroyer of flowers." Of course, this term is not a compliment to Su Mingcheng.

Thinking about Su Mingcheng in the original story, and then thinking about the Su Mingcheng after he educated and reformed him, who is now humble, polite, promising, and deeply affectionate with his brothers and sisters, Hua Shier felt quite accomplished.

Successfully saved a scumbag!

Hua Shier thought the second lottery draw was pretty good. After all, there were quite a few strong women, like the Great Goddess Zhao in the east. She didn't know if she would meet her in the future, or maybe she would meet her soon. Then her talent of "ruthless flower destroyer" would come in handy, increasing her combat power by 30%. She would definitely be very powerful in the future.

After the lottery draw, Hua Shier poured himself a glass of chilled whiskey and gulped it down to perk himself up.

That's right, it's to refresh him. Even with his cultivation level, he was feeling dizzy at this moment.

Because he had that same dream again, the one he had when he returned last time: a temple, a person, or rather, a god!

Sitting on the altar, high above!

Just like last time, both the temple and the deity exuded an inexplicable sense of familiarity. The difference was that last time the deity spoke to him, but this time there was no communication at all.

Although Hua Shier couldn't see the god's face clearly, he could sense the amusement in the way the god was looking at him.

A commanding view from above!
That god regarded him as an ant.

Hua lit a cigar, sat on the sofa, and recalled the feeling in his dream: familiar, intimate, and also, malicious!
In his dream last time, he felt close to the other person, as if they were a good friend, a family member, a confidant, or a brother. Of course, this was how he felt about the other person, just like a simp for a goddess, a one-sided, wishful thinking feeling.

But whether a goddess likes a simp is another question.

This time was slightly different; he also sensed malice!
Hua Shier did not consider this a trivial matter. With his current strength, the fact that the other party could still lure him into a dream, leaving him completely helpless, was terrifying to even think about.

He communicated with the system in his mind, opened the skills page, and planned to check his own hand first.

Before the 12th century, Hua had lost its drive to move forward, but now it has to pay attention to the growth of its strength.

He gave a self-deprecating laugh:
"After swallowing a golden pill, my life is decided by me, not by God?"

"I thought that immortality meant ultimate freedom, and that with enough cultivation one could roam the heavens freely. I never imagined that even at my level, I would still feel danger. I'm really curious, who exactly are you?"

Collect your thoughts and visualize the skill page labeled (Immortal).

He would quickly skim over skills that remained unchanged, focusing mainly on those that improved.

The various magical arts of the Ma family have gone from "reaching the pinnacle" to "returning to simplicity," reaching the highest level of the eight realms of the system.

The 'Lightning Thunder Fist' (Immortal) has gone from being slightly mastered to being 'perfected'.

The fundamental method he mainly cultivates, the "Nine Methods of Sword Forging," has progressed from the fourth stage, "Returning to Simplicity," to the fifth stage, "Beginner's Practice," thus advancing to a minor realm.

In the past, Hua Shier, with his laid-back personality, would definitely have been satisfied, thinking, "Steady progress, oh yeah!"

However, he now feels a sense of crisis. Such progress is unsatisfactory to him, as it is as slow as a snail's pace. Who knows when he will reach the top of his cultivation?

These are the only skill improvements you've made. Hua Shier sighed, "I've become complacent!"

He then looked down at the 'Acquired Spiritual Treasure Body,' which had been completely integrated, and its current realm was 'Beginner!'

(Note: The acquired spiritual treasure body is based on the indestructible body forged by Laozi. It absorbs the characteristics of the steel body and its strength is comparable to that of an acquired spiritual treasure. It can absorb the light of the sun to purify the essence of the sun and strengthen itself. Other methods of enhancement are unknown. Please explore them on your own!)

Seeing that his physique had completely merged, Hua Shier took another look at the strength attribute and was surprised to find that the strength attribute, which originally had specific values, had now changed from 'the strength of billions of tons' to three words: 'unpredictable'!
Through the communication system in his mind, Hua Shier instantly understood what was going on: the change in strength attribute was related to the fusion of physique.

The 'Acquired Spiritual Treasure Dao Body' combines the advantages of the 'Indestructible Vajra Body' and the 'Iron Body', two super physiques. It is a physique that has never appeared in the myriad realms, so it is immeasurable.

Hua Shier nodded. If it's unpredictable, then it's unpredictable.

Let alone the fusion, even the two templates before the fusion, Superman and Monkey King, if you were to give their power a specific value, it would be difficult to be accurate and would not be convincing.

Looking at his various attributes and skills, Hua Shier felt a little depressed. He was already so strong, yet he could still sense danger. How powerful must the being that gave him that sense of danger be?
Wanting to know the answer, but unable to deduce it from within, Hua Shier was thinking about what to do when he suddenly remembered an old saying: "Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure."

His eyes lit up. Wasn't there an old monster next to him who was hundreds of years old and liked to scheme against people?

The person Hua Shier thought of was Gu Yi!

The Ancient One protected Earth in the Marvel universe for hundreds of years, single-handedly manipulating countless demons by borrowing money and refusing to repay it.

Without Hua Shier's intervention, even if they escaped by suicide, they could have smoothly settled their debts, latched onto the powerful Eternal God, and left the Trinity Vishanti and the Dark Dimensional Demon God Dormammu with nothing but tears in their eyes as they looked at the IOU.

This person is shameless. Well, she is so intelligent that she has never been the one to scheme against others.

Hua Shier felt that this was a good opportunity to discuss with Gu Yi, as it might be of some help.

He immediately waved his hand, activating the Spirit Exorcism Technique, and released the Ancient One from the soul space. He then recounted his two dreams and the feelings he experienced in them, seeking the Ancient One's guidance.

Ancient One's expression was serious:

"You mean, that being, who might be a god, can already influence your mind through dreams?"

Hua nodded:
"Indeed, I felt groggy when I woke up, something that has never happened to me before!" Gu Yi pondered for a long while before saying:
"Based on your conversation with them last time, that being is indeed plotting against you. You have already become, or rather, have long since become, their pawn!"

Hua Shier nodded, agreeing with the other party's statement, but he could think of those things himself. What he needed were clues and solutions.

Gu Yi seemed to know what Hua Shier was thinking, and then finally got to what the latter wanted to hear.

"If the other party can influence your spirit and soul, I think there are two possibilities: either that the being, as the player of the game, is far more powerful than you, but I think that possibility is extremely low!"

The Ancient One, who was by Hua Shier's side, knew that he was very powerful. In terms of physical strength alone, he was probably no match for Odin, the king of the nine realms, or Thanos, who was conquering the universe.

With such a powerful physical body, even without cultivating any spiritual techniques, the accumulated spiritual nourishment over time would make one a god-like being. Moreover, she sensed that Hua Shier's soul carried an incomparably sharp and indestructible sword intent, clearly indicating that his attainments in soul cultivation were not low.

Such a being can be pulled into dreams and have his mental state affected. If it were just a matter of strength, what kind of being would he be?

Therefore, although the Ancient One mentioned the first possibility, she also indicated that this possibility was extremely low.

Hua Shier's eyes flickered: "What about the second possibility?"

Gu Yi said calmly:

"Before I met you, based on my own control over my soul, I never believed that anyone could control my soul, the Ancient One!"

"So the second possibility is quite simple. Just like the soul manipulation skills you possess, which allow you to accurately capture and control the weaknesses of spirits, that being must also have grasped the weaknesses of your soul in order to lure you into your dreams, influence your spirit, and leave you powerless to resist or detect any clues!"

Gu Yi said in a solemn tone:

"I must warn you, you are in a dangerous situation!"

Although Gu Yi was subdued by Hua Shier, she had no complaints. Now she felt that it was even more exciting than following the Eternal God.

But it wouldn't be fun if Hua Shier were in any danger; it would also affect her safety, which is why I spoke about this so seriously.

Hua Shier naturally understood Gu Yi's concerns. He nodded and then said:

"I have absolutely no clue what to do and no idea how to deal with this. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Gu Yi nodded: "Actually, the method is quite simple!"

Hua Shier immediately perked up; "Then stop keeping me in suspense and tell me your plan quickly, and I'll give you an extra chicken leg for dinner!"

Gu Yi was speechless. Have you ever heard of a soul eating a chicken leg?
She smiled faintly:
"Actually, even if you don't give me extra chicken legs, I'll still tell you. But if you really want to thank me, I have a small request. I hope you can teach me the methods of cultivating immortality. I also want to try different cultivation methods!"

Hua Shier pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, after all, your increased strength will also benefit me!"

When Gu Yi saw that Hua Shier had agreed, his smile broadened.
"My method is simple, just like how you took me out of the Marvel multiverse. Neither Dormammu, Mephisto, the Trinity of Vishanti, nor the Eternals can do anything to me now."

Hua Shier looked at Gu Yi, who was becoming more and more smug as she spoke, and asked curiously:
"So you even swindled Mephisto? You didn't sign some kind of soul-selling pact with him, did you, and then try to renege on your debts by siding with Eternity?"

Gu Yi immediately blurted out, "I've tricked many demons, Mephisto is one of them."

After she finished speaking, she realized that her words were somewhat uncouth, so she coughed lightly:
"That's not the point. The point is that you helped me escape the game, understand?"

Hua Shier understood what Gu Yi meant: "You mean I should hide in another world, step out of the game, and then the other side won't be able to do anything to me?"

"No!"

Gu Yi shook her head directly:

"You can travel through various universes and acquire different abilities. If I'm not mistaken, that's why your strength has increased so quickly. But this ability wasn't something you originally had, was it? Have you ever thought that this ability is too powerful and its appearance is too bizarre?"

"Have you ever considered that the worlds you've traveled through are all anchored to this so-called real world? Then why aren't the other worlds also part of the game?"

Hua Shier was taken aback by what he heard. He felt that what Gu Yi said made a lot of sense. The system that appeared out of nowhere might be a big problem in itself.

He looked at the Ancient One: "Alright, tell me your plan now. What method do you have to help me get out of this game?"

Gu Yi smiled faintly, drawing upon Hua Shier's magical power for her own use, and casually opened a mirror image:
"This is a mirror space I created within my own soul, specifically for storing the valuable things I've collected over the past few hundred years. One of them might be able to help you solve this problem!"

Just as she was about to take something out, she saw that Hua Shier's eyes were as bright as light bulbs, and she immediately became alert:

"What are you trying to do? Let me tell you, these are all my treasured possessions, so don't even think about getting them!"

Hua Shier wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth:
"Slander! How could I possibly covet your treasured possessions? By the way, I need rare metals to cultivate my techniques. Last time I went to the Marvel universe, I heard a hot dog vendor say that Uru metal is quite good. I wonder if you have any?"

Gu Yi almost laughed out of anger. One second you said you wouldn't steal my treasures, and the next you even mentioned the names of the items. You said the hot dog vendor told you that? The hot dog vendor knows what materials are needed to forge a divine artifact?
She said irritably, "I'll give you half a ton at most, any more and I'll get angry!"

Hua Shier almost spat out his cigar. This woman was really rich. He had only wanted half a pound or so, but she ordered half a ton, and she spoke as if she were giving money to a beggar.

He quickly agreed, "That's enough, let's talk about serious matters!"

The Ancient One glanced at him with amusement, then took out a pure black metal watch from her personal mirror space. The watch had a very antique design, but it was enveloped in a ball of blue-green energy.

Hua Shier sensed that the energy was the power of spacetime. Anything enveloped by the power of spacetime was as if it were sealed, unable to have any contact with the outside world or even the entire world.

"Could this be..."

Hua Shier had some guesses.

Gu nodded:

"Just as you thought, the owner of this watch inexplicably appeared in my world, and there are quite a few people like her. They thought no one would know their secrets, but with the Time Stone, I can observe the past and the future, record their every word and action. From the slightest clues, I learned their secrets. Perhaps in that place, you will find a solution to the problem!"
