It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 740 Danger
Meteor began to scrutinize Feng Ling with a strange look.

She couldn't understand where Feng Ling's anger came from. Since she had become an almost invincible being, why would she want the game to end? Getting angry over the maze's location was even more illogical. This planet had enough land; was a small city like Qingjiang really that important?
"Speak!" Feng Ling stared at Liu Xing with an icy expression. "I'm asking you, when will the game end?"

Meteor slowly gathered his thoughts, "...I remember the system has protection regulations for the genes of local organisms. Once it is determined that the organisms in the game area are in danger of extinction, it will come to an emergency stop. However, this stop is usually carried out in sections. For example, when humans are hunting in the forest, when the animals in the forest are almost wiped out, humans will move to another forest to continue their activities, giving the original forest time to rest and recuperate."

“I’m not asking about the region, I’m asking about the entire game.” Feng Ling stared at her and asked again, “I need to know how to stop the game, to stop it completely.”

Meteor found it ridiculous and forced a smile. "Don't even think about it. It's impossible. Even if you kill me, I still can't give you an answer."

“Why is it impossible?” Feng Ling said. “Players all think it’s impossible to kill the Abyss Boss, but haven’t you been plotting to kill me all along?”

"These are two different things. At least the Abyss Boss is right in front of me; I can see and touch him. But what about the game?" Meteor scoffed. "If you want to deal with an enemy, you should at least know where the enemy is, right?"

Feng Ling thought for a moment, "Where is the game's control system?"

"Up in the city." Meteor's lips curled into a faint sneer. "You can't go, and neither can I, unless you're willing to let me kill you again. Once the game scores are tallied, I can get a ticket to Up in the city. But given the trust between us, I won't risk my life to shut down the game system for you, and you wouldn't believe I'm willing to make that sacrifice, so this is impossible."

Feng Ling fell silent, surprisingly not angry.

After thinking for a long time, she said to Meteor, "You think of a way to shut down the game so that we can trust each other."

Meteor was taken aback, staring at her wide-eyed. "Why should I help you?"

“Because you’re so smart, I want to borrow your brain,” Feng Ling said. “If you can’t figure it out, I’ll cut off your tongue, smash your fingers, and slice off pieces of your flesh.”

Ye Zheng waited anxiously outside the woods. After what seemed like an eternity, he finally heard footsteps coming from the woods. Looking up, he saw Niu Dao and a group of human-faced crows rushing out.

A huge shadow was cast overhead as the kite slowly descended so that Niu Dao could jump up.

Completely bewildered, Ye Zheng chased after them and asked, "Where are you going?"

Niu Dao was panting heavily, and the human-faced crows were chattering. They ignored Ye Zheng and left with the kite without looking back.

Only Feng Ling could command the creations of the Mother Nest. Ye Zheng was worried that something had happened to Feng Ling, and he couldn't wait any longer, so he plunged into the forest!
The weasel hopped and skipped along behind her.

They hadn't gone far when they saw Feng Ling's figure appear ahead.

Ye Zheng raised his voice and asked, "What did you send Lao San and Niu Dao to do?"

“I sent them back to Qingjiang.” Feng Ling said with her back to her, her tone sounding very ordinary.

As Ye Zheng walked, he asked, "Even the kite has flown away. What are you thinking? Are you planning to walk back in a bit?"

Feng Ling said, "Come here first, I need to discuss something with you." Ye Zheng was full of suspicion, so he quickened his pace, only to find someone next to Feng Ling when he got closer—it was Liu Xing!

She was taken aback, her nerves tensing almost instantly. "You haven't dealt with her yet? Are you keeping her around for the New Year?!"

Feng Ling then slowly turned around, her eyes filled with an indescribable darkness. She didn't explain why Liu Xing was still alive, but simply said to Ye Zheng, "We're facing a problem now, and I'd like to hear your opinion."

Ye Zheng frowned. "What exactly happened?"

Feng Ling relayed what Meteor had just said about the maze reconstruction to Ye Zheng, and then looked at the weasel next to Ye Zheng, "The administrator should also be able to see the announcement released by the game. Whether what she said is true or not, we can ask the administrator to confirm whether it is true or not."

Ye Zheng turned to look at the weasel.

Qingyou nodded, then hurriedly took out his phone to type something, and then handed it to Ye Zheng to read.

Ye Zheng frowned after reading it, his face darkening. "The Taoist priest said he saw the announcement. It's unpredictable where the system will rebuild the maze; it might not even appear in Qingjiang."

Ye Zheng lowered his voice, repeatedly emphasizing the word "not necessarily," then looked at the Green Weasel and asked, "Where do you think the system is most likely to rebuild the Mother Nest Maze?"

The weasel turned its head to look at Feng Ling.

Feng Ling smiled faintly, "It means that wherever the Abyss Mother Nest is, the labyrinth will be rebuilt there. So whether the system will choose the Abyss Boss or the Life Source Pillar of the Mother Nest is fifty-fifty."

Ye Zheng's face darkened upon hearing this, and he was very indignant. "After solving the alien species, the maze became contaminated. After solving the maze contamination, the Star Society emerged. After solving the Star Society, there is still no peace!"

The weasel hurriedly typed a message to comfort Ye Zheng:
[Regardless of where the system chooses to build the maze, it will be a complete maze with no pollution issues. Even if the maze appears in a city, it should be similar to the original Guangshan City, not affecting the lives of local residents. You don't need to worry too much.]

Like the meteor, the blue weasel also felt that this matter was not important.

There are so many mazes in this world, one more or one less won't make a difference. Moreover, with mazes, Feng Ling no longer needs to worry about the creations of the Mother Nest going out of control. Thinking about it this way, Qing You actually thinks it's a good thing.

He has always advocated that Feng Ling establish its own territory.

However, Feng Ling clearly didn't see it that way. Although she relied on the power she gained from the game, she resented the game's restrictions on her even more. As for Ye Zheng, he was even more disgusted with everything about the game.

At this moment, Feng Ling slowly spoke: "If the system can rebuild the Mother Nest Maze, it can naturally rebuild the other eleven Abyss Mazes as well. Will those ordinary mazes also be rebuilt sooner or later? As long as the game doesn't end, this matter won't end. So, I just thought of a way, a way to solve this once and for all."

"What method?" Ye Zheng urged impatiently, "When did you start talking so much? Hurry up and tell me!"

Feng Ling glanced at the silent Liu Xing beside her, "Switch bodies, borrow her identity, and shut down the game system on the player's side."

"Squeak!—" the weasel shrieked, grabbed its phone and frantically typed "Danger" all over the screen.

Ye Zheng's eyes lit up. "That's right! How come I didn't think of that? She can switch identities with Miaomiao, so she can definitely switch bodies with us too. As long as we become mutants, we can come into contact with the world of mutants!"
