World version update

Chapter 79: The Loser
Long before deciding to sell the Nine Dragons Injection, Lu Yan guessed that given the chaotic order in the cyber version, it would be a matter of time before someone would target him if he took out the Nine Dragons Injection.

For this purpose, Lu Yan prepared many solutions.

The cyber version of ordinary psychics have developed a psychic system that is quite unique in terms of physical strength, but is extremely weak in terms of the soul.

Even for psychics, their soul strength is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.

The bewitching and illusion techniques that Lu Yan possesses in his first-level spell collection can easily control psychics, thereby diluting the impact of his actions and reducing potential risks.

But after today's trip to the Colosseum, Lu Yan began to change his original idea.

As Lu Yan's cultivation level improved, his spiritual perception constantly reminded him that there were dangers in the middle and upper city areas.

In this crazy version, if the unknown danger comes from a giant corporation or even an intelligent God, will hiding in the cave ensure your safety?

The global giants have almost absolute control over this version. The capitalists still have to pay attention to how to exploit the labor force, but ordinary people under the rule of the global giants are not even qualified to be tools.

As long as the world's giant enterprise makes a decision, it will definitely be able to clean up the entire cave. When the big situation comes, Lu Yan will find it difficult to even hide.

When faced with an unpredictable crisis, taking direct action is not advisable, but hiding in a corner waiting for version updates is definitely not the best option.

Even if we can delay this time, how will we deal with it if we encounter a similar crisis next time?

Instead of waiting for death, it is better to use these forces in the lower city to actively search for information, so that once the environment changes, danger can be predicted in advance.

And Shaq in front of us is obviously an excellent choice.

The violent collision between the head and the steel ground had completely torn apart Shak's metal skin engraved with psychic codes. Even his facial features were forcibly flattened, revealing a twisted skull that was gleaming with metallic luster beneath the flesh and blood.

Such injuries would undoubtedly be fatal to ordinary people, but for Shaq, who had undergone a full-body psychic transformation, it was only a minor injury.

His spine, ribs, and skull had already been replaced with star alloy during a psychic transformation operation. This is an alloy that has a strong affinity for psychic energy and extremely high strength.

As long as the star alloy cannot be broken through, it will be difficult to cause real fatal damage to him.

Compared to the injuries on his body, the strength displayed by Lu Yan was what he truly feared.

The psychic pressure came suddenly without any warning. Facing the overwhelming psychic pressure, Shak seemed to see those high-level psychics in the upper city.

Those non-artificial creatures that look like humans on the outside, but have actually been completely transformed and have nothing to do with humans.

The same was true for Lu Yan in front of him. Shak didn't even see the psychic tattoo on Lu Yan's body, but Lu Yan's mere manipulation of psychic energy was enough to completely suppress him.

In addition, Lu Yan also took out the precious Nine Dragons Power Potion.

All these factors combined, and a thought that made Shaq extremely scared emerged from his mind.

"He's a high-ranking psyker from the Upper City! He might even be a fallen one from another city!"

The Global Corporation dominates everything in the cyber version, but the Global Corporation has not been the manager of all cities from the beginning.

Before the world's giant corporations took control of spiritual energy, there were still a large number of corporate groups in this world, and they were fighting fiercely for control of various cities.

Eventually, global giants emerged from the chaos and swallowed up and destroyed a large number of companies.

The executives of these companies and enterprises either integrate into the global giants and become part of the order, or flee to other cities and hide in corners to survive.

Even after the global giant corporation took control of everything, there were still managers of various departments fighting for power. The successful ones rose to high positions, while the unsuccessful ones fled to other cities.

Such people are called the Lost Powers. As former company executives, most of them possess strength far beyond the Lower Town and high-end technology that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Lu Yan's performance perfectly fits the characteristics of a person who has lost power. Thinking of this, Shaq's body began to tremble unconsciously.

You have to know that the big shots in the upper city have never regarded the lower city as their own kind, especially those upper-level psychics who have undergone highly psychic transformation.

Shak had witnessed with his own eyes the methods used by higher-level psychics to extract the souls of others and manipulate their minds.

They will first digitize the soul and inject it into the intelligent brain, build a perfect fantasy world for it, and then add various scripts at will.

There was a time when you traveled to another world and experienced many hardships to become a God King. You thought you could be immortal, but a goblin came across the world, defeated you, and wantonly raped your harem. Only then did you realize that you were just a hydrogen man, and the strength and position of God King that you were proud of were nothing but illusions.

There is the possibility of becoming the largest warlord in a country, the nominal leader of the country, with millions of troops. Your family also controls the economic lifeline of the country and can control the life and death of tens of millions of people.

But even though you are so powerful, you are powerless to fight back when facing a small group of peasants. You can only witness your power collapse step by step and eventually lose everything.

You have traveled to a world of gourmet food, where you can become stronger just by eating. With your amazing talent, you have defeated powerful enemies all the way to grab the most food and become the world's number one.

But when you become number one in the world and take a bite of delicious food, you suddenly realize that the whole world is just a huge cesspool, everyone is just a maggot in the pit, and the delicious food you are fighting for is just fresh feces. The so-called gourmet world is just a fantasy before you are fainted by the stench.

Reality requires a logical framework, but the fantasy world created by intelligent brain programs does not.

Just thinking about the horrific scenarios those souls had experienced, Shaq felt as if his soul was trembling.

If you fall into the hands of these people, death is the easiest outcome.

Thinking of this, Shaq no longer had any thoughts of resistance.

"I'm sorry for the offense!"

Intermittent words came out from Shak's stomach. His head was embedded in the iron ground. Shak didn't even have the chance to speak. He could only beg for mercy with ventriloquism.

"I am willing to make amends and I beg Your Excellency to forgive our offense."

Lu Yan looked at Shaq with some surprise. He vaguely guessed that Shaq seemed to have made up something in his mind, which made him so afraid.

But this is also a good thing for Lu Yan. He didn't intend to take Shak's life, as that would bring a lot of trouble for nothing.

The most valuable approach is to intimidate them with strength, and then use the benefits of the Nine Dragons Power Potion to bind them in your own hands.

Slowly moving his right foot away from where Shaq's head was pressed into the ground, Lu Yan sat back on the sofa, dispersing the heavy pressure created by his magic power.

There was a sudden wailing sound in the box.

Shak's subordinates did not have alloy bones. Under the heavy pressure of magic power, most of their leg bones were broken, and the white bones pierced through their flesh, making them look miserable.

Shaq, who had just taken a breath, turned pale and was about to open his mouth to scold, but he saw Lu Yan on the sofa stretch out his right hand.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of finger snaps rang out in the box, and the magical power fluctuations of the enchantment technique spread silently to the entire box.

The next moment, all sounds disappeared completely.

Those subordinates who were still wailing were now staring at Lu Yan's right hand, all with the same indifference.

A bone-chilling chill instantly surged into Shaq's heart. Before he could react, Lu Yan's eyes shone with a divine light that seemed to be able to see through Shaq's heart. A calm voice rang out in the box:
"Now, it's time to show your worth!"
