Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Uncle Teng’s Version of ‘Love Circulation’

It was 5 o’clock in the morning.

After battling his fatigue for more than two hours, An Wen was finally too tired to remain awake.

“There is no indication that the monsters will continue increasing in numbers, so this should be basically it. I can return home to sleep now.”

After close to an hour of observation, An Wen was certain that no new monsters were appearing.

The monsters currently present were not a threat to the city wall.

As such, there was no longer any great significance in guarding the city.

An Wen took one final glimpse at the monsters outside the city wall, then returned home to sleep.

By the time he awoke, it was slightly past noon.

After he got out of bed, he traveled to the other world to check up on the situation.

As he had expected, the monsters were still attacking the city. However, just like in the early morning, they did not deal any damage to the city wall.

Upon checking up on the wall, An Wen was relieved.

He then returned home to wash up and change into another set of clothes, then headed out for breakfast.

It was already past noon; the soya bean and finger food that was sold for breakfast had already sold out, making An Wen slightly sullen.

“It’s alright, I’m feeling happy today.”

An Wen ordered some food without much thought, then took out his mobile phone and navigated to the Xiaopozhan site.

After being busy for some time, An Wen felt that he was slightly out of touch with the latest news.

He then clicked to open the rankings list.

Scrolling down from the top, he searched for videos that he was interested in.

“Eh… What is this Uncle Teng’s Version of ‘Love Circulation’?”

Out of curiosity, An Wen clicked play on the video.

Seconds later, the characteristic BGM could be heard.

Then…

A hoarse male voice that spoke of the vast grasslands was heard.

In an instant, An Wen did not feel well.

It was slightly overwhelming!

When the video finished playing, An Wen began staring at the dishes on the table, dazed.

“The original version… What does the original version sound like?”

An Wen quickly searched for the original version of the song sung by Hanazawa Kana, immediately clicking play.

“There we go… This is the true circulation of love, that one just now was simply a circulation of death.”

However, as An Wen listened to the song, he felt an increasing sense of ‘blandness’.

It was not that Hanazawa Kana didn’t sing well, but because he had listened to her version hundreds of times and felt that it was missing something – though it was unrelated to her singing.

As if he was entranced, An Wen played Uncle Teng’s version of the song again.

Indeed, the moment the voice that spoke of the vast grasslands was heard, An Wen knew what was missing from Hanazawa Kana’s version.

“Although it was slightly overwhelming at first, it still sounds quite pleasing and emotional after I got used to the different tone.”

An Wen put the video on repeat.

Then, he posted a bullet comment: “I can’t escape now.”

Subsequently, he ate his breakfast while being immersed in the circulation of death, as if he was traveling across the vast grasslands.

Listening to the song as he ate, he felt like he was eating instant-boiled mutton.

After the meal, An Wen walked home joyfully, as if he was herding sheep on the grasslands.

Changing his clothes, An Wen traveled to the other world.

The monsters outside the city wall were still attacking the city continuously.

The sounds of the monsters roaring and crashing into the city wall echoed across the city in an extremely noisy manner.

An Wen checked the time, “It’s only 1.15 p.m., I shall take a bath first.”

He then went to the bathroom, added water into the bathtub, then began heating it up.

Although it was -45 degrees outside, the temperature inside the bathroom was still relatively high.

Especially after the heater was turned on, the temperature inside the bathroom rose rapidly to 30 degrees.

Twenty minutes later, the water had finally heated to his desired temperature.

An Wen laid inside the bathtub, reading a novel.

Although there was no cellular reception in the other world, he could download the novel beforehand, so it was no different from reading it in the real world, except that there would be no real-time updates.

Oh… there was also the fact that he could not upload chapter commentaries and interact with other ‘foolish’ Internet users.

Without chapter commentaries and interactions, what difference was there from reading the pirated version of the novel?

However, what An Wen was most displeased about was the fact that he could not support the author and vote to commend him. How annoying! (Hint hint)

Time… passed… slowly…

“Eh… It’s almost 2 o’clock?”

An Wen lost track of time as he read the novel while taking his bath. In the blink of an eye, it was already 2 p.m.

Had he not set an alarm on his mobile phone, he would well have missed the sunrise in the other world.

Quickly getting out of the bathtub, An Wen put his clothes back on.

By that mark, the snow outside had long ceased, and the sky was pitch-black.

“There are 10 more minutes until sunrise, I shall proceed with my final experiment.”

An Wen looked up at the pitch-black sky, and then walked towards the wood processing plant, with a burning torch in hand.

Why did he not use a flashlight?

An Wen was using a burning torch so he could warm up his surroundings.

Indeed, it was also a setting of the game.

Click, click…

An Wen picked up a wooden plank and joined it to the door, completing the wood processing plant.

In an instant, his Survival Points income rose sharply to 840 thousand per hour, almost double from before.

Going up the city wall, An Wen looked at the forest in the distance.

There was still seven minutes before sunrise.

“Even if a new type of monster appears and it is able to damage the city wall, it will not be able to destroy the city wall completely within a few minutes.”

An Wen waited for a monster to emerge.

If there were still no new types of monsters appearing, it would mean that he was essentially invincible on the island.

Rumble…

Very soon, rumbling sounds had emerged from within the forest, as if there were countless gigantic monsters charging towards the camp.

Moments later, numerous gigantic figures appeared.

Indeed, they were not any new type of monsters, but the same ones with a meteor hammer tail.

The difference from previous waves was that those gigantic monsters were the only monsters that emerged from the forest, and there were no small monsters. 

Hundreds of those monsters were currently charging out of the forest at once.

However, due to their gigantic size, not every single monster could fit through the opening of the valley – only fewer than a hundred could reach the city wall.

Meanwhile, the remaining monsters could only circle around their original positions.

“What…”

Upon seeing the weird scene, the nervous expression on An Wen’s face immediately disappeared.

Instead, an indescribable expression emerged in its place.

How should such a feeling be described…?

Well, it was as if you were cooking a meal in the wilderness and suddenly saw countless pairs of green eyes staring at you from the forest in the distance.

You would be extremely nervous, thinking that you were surrounded by a pack of wolves.

Then, the green eyes moved, dashing out of the forest towards you, shocking you out of your wits.

Just as you were awaiting your death however, it turned out that the ‘wolves’ were actually huskies.

They then proceeded to snatch the roasted sausage in your hand.

Indeed, it was similar to what An Wen was feeling at present.

After being nervous for half a day, not daring to complete the wood processing plant in the middle of the night, he waited until moments before dawn to perform the experiment.

In the end, it was as if he was trying to outsmart and outplay air.

How great!

An Wen pursed his lips as he turned to descend the city wall.

It was not because he was afraid of the group of monsters, but because his legs were getting slightly numb as he stood atop the large wall.

Indeed, his numbness was due to the vibrations.

The foolish group of monsters were using their tails to hammer the city wall, and although the Durability of the city wall was not reduced, the wall would still shake.

Nearly a hundred monsters were constantly hammering the city wall.

As a result, the city wall was vibrating continuously, as if a certain vibrating device vibrated nonstop.

Going up the watchtower, An Wen was in a state of folly.

“Even though my Survival Points income doubled, only a larger number of these gigantic monsters appeared. There were no new types of monsters.”

“This probably means that the gigantic monsters are the strongest monsters on this island.”

An Wen was completely relieved.

He would now be able to develop steadily in the future, and did not need to be afraid of constructing more processing plants.

After all, it would only cause more of the gigantic monsters to appear, which would not be very significant.

“The game settings are rather meaningful. The current city wall is merely made of rock covered by metal plates, and yet it is deemed to be a small-scale fortress.”

“If the city wall was not covered by metal plates, it would certainly have been deemed as a large-scale city wall instead.”

“However, based on the present situation, the large-scale city wall would surely be unable to withstand the attacks of these gigantic monsters.”

“Making calculations based on these standards, the hidden limit of the secluded island will likely be 400,000 Points.”

“Above this hidden limit, where the income of Survival Points surpasses 400,000 per hour, these gigantic monsters would appear.”

After one night of attacks by the monsters, An Wen obtained numerous pieces of information. He also made many seemingly useless, but actually extremely crucial observations from his analyses.

Coming up with so many conclusions, he realized a problem.

Since the gigantic monsters were the strongest monsters that could appear on the island, how would he be able to continue ‘leveling up’ now that he was able to withstand their attacks?

Could it be possible that he already made it to the end of the game?

Was there only one map in the game?

Had he cleared the game, just like that?

Many questions immediately emerged in An Wen’s mind.

“What am I thinking, there’s still the Ring of Stars as one of the fortifications, who knows what kinds of monsters I would have to face in the future?”

“I have only constructed a small-scale fortress so far. Forget about the Ring of Stars; my base is still far from modern-day military bases, how could I possibly have cleared the game?”

Dismissing all of his thoughts, An Wen looked at the dimly illuminated sky in the distance.

Roar…

As resounding roars echoed through the air, the gigantic monsters began to retreat.

“Indeed, even the gigantic monsters are afraid of the sun.”

As the sun rose above the horizon, the monsters retreated.

Beyond the city wall, only traces of burnt ashes and explosions remained.

Not a single monster corpse was left behind.

Neither was there a single drop of blood remaining on the barren landscape in front of the city wall.

Had An Wen not personally experienced the attack from the monsters on the city, it would all have seemed like a dream instead.

“It’s finally over.”

An Wen remarked, inhaling a deep breath of air.

From the first time he traveled to the other world, until the attack from the monsters on the city the previous night, An Wen had kept busy for nearly a month.

“I shall only work out today, without caring about anything else.”

An Wen decided that he would take a rest for the next few days, and leave everything else until later.
