Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 248

Jing Chen also walked over and glanced at the person in the capsule. He wasn't very familiar with the person in the capsule, and could even say he didn't know them at all. However, seeing how shocked Shou Xing was, Jing Chen could roughly understand what was going on.

"Senior!" Chu Yuan's voice came. Shou Xing and Jing Chen turned around at the same time and saw that two battle angels had taken Chu Yuan hostage. Upon closer inspection, they realized that these were the Harpy sisters that he had killed.

However, Jing Chen was relieved. This was Synapse, after all. Would it be a problem to make a few more mass-produced models? No problem, absolutely no problem.

Jing Chen immediately raised the Starry Sky Gun, aimed it at the Harpy sisters, and slowly placed his index finger on the trigger. With just a gentle pull, the Harpy sisters would be dead without a doubt.

"Hey, wait a minute, aren't you concerned about her comfort?" Harpy, who was holding Chu Yuan hostage, raised the compressed cannon in front of Chu Yuan and asked.

Jing Chen smiled. "I am indeed concerned for Chu Yuan's well-being, but do you think you can dodge my bullet?"

"We don't need to hide at all, isn't this a perfect shield?" Harpy said.

Jing Chen said, "I know you have scanning capabilities. You can scan this gun in my hand and see if you can dodge it."

Hearing Jing Chen's words, the Harpy sisters became cautious and scanned his gun. The scan shocked them. Jing Chen's gun contained immense energy, even stronger than their own! If… this gun hit them, they would be utterly annihilated!

The other hobbit sister looked at Shouxing, seemingly talking to herself, yet also seemingly answering Shouxing's question: "What do you think everyone is doing in the sealed chamber?" The other hobbit said, "Dreaming."

Shouxing walked to the middle and asked, "What's going on here?"

"Although I would like to tell you in detail, it is time for your execution now," Habby said.

Jing Chen smiled. "It is indeed time for execution, but the ones being executed are not us!"

"Our time is up too," Shouxing said, glancing at his watch.

As soon as Shouxing finished speaking, a portal suddenly appeared behind him. Seeing this portal, the Happy Sisters were shocked. "What!? A teleportation from the Dive Game? What's going on?"

Shouxing looked up at the Harpy sisters and said, "It's nothing, a very simple problem. I gave the watch to Nymph beforehand so she could teleport at the appointed time. I investigated Synapse within twelve minutes and predicted the approximate time when you would capture us."

While Shouxing was speaking, Jingchen, Chuyuan, and Shouxing's bodies emitted golden light and slowly disappeared.

"Damn it!" Harpy refused to believe it and fired a shot at Shouxing. Unfortunately, her bullet passed right through Shouxing's body and did not cause him any harm.

Shouxing turned around, glanced at the Harpy sisters, and said calmly, "I thought the inhabitants of the New World would be quite capable, but it seems their intelligence as biological beings... isn't much different from that of humans."

Before Shou Xing could speak, Chu Yuan transformed into a golden ball of light and entered the portal.

Looking at Shouxing now, Jingchen sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. How come Shouxing was even better at showing off than him? Was it because he hadn't shown off in a long time and had become rusty?

"Did you hear that, so-called master of Synapse?" Shouxing shouted at the top of the building, his disdain undisguised. As soon as he finished speaking, Shouxing transformed into a golden sphere of light and entered the portal.

Jing Chen stood outside the door, put away the starry sky, pointed at the Harpy sisters, and said, "I hope I can see you next time I come to massacre Synapse."

After saying that, Jing Chen transformed into a golden ball of light and entered the portal.

After a blinding flash of white light, the Harpy sisters were left alone; Jing Chen, Chu Yuan, and Shou Xing had all been teleported away through the portal.

The scene shifts, and Jing Chen and his two companions appear inside Shouxing's tent. Looking at everything familiar in the tent, Chu Yuan feels somewhat dazed.

"Welcome back." Nymph walked up to the three of them and handed the watch to Shouxing.

"I'm back," Chu Yuan said, still dazed. After saying that, Chu Yuan finally came to his senses and let out a long sigh of relief, saying, "I'm saved."

"The timing is perfect," Shougei said to Nymph.

Just as Nymph handed the watch to Morishita, Tomoki walked in from outside the tent, looked at the four people inside, and complained, "Ugh! You sent everyone away to prepare food, but what are you doing here in a place like this?"

Jing Chen smiled but didn't say anything, while Chu Yuan called out "Zhi Shu".

"Everyone's slacking off!" Tomoki complained.

"I'm sorry, I'll go help now," Chu Yuan said, walking out of the tent to prepare food. Zhi Shu followed Chu Yuan out of the tent.

Listening to their conversation, neither Jing Chen Shouxing nor Nymph said a word.

"Nymph".

"What?"

"I want to ask, do I exist in reality?" Shouxing looked at Nymph and asked seriously.

Upon hearing Shouge's question, Nymph understood and said, "Ah, you saw that, didn't you? That's why Tomoki's dream was encrypted." Nymph paused for a moment, then continued to Shouge, "Don't worry, you exist, you exist in reality."

Upon hearing Nymph's reply, Shouxing remained silent for a long time before nodding and leaving the tent.

Jing Chen crossed his arms behind his head, looking nonchalant. Nymph looked at Jing Chen and asked, "You want to ask this question too, don't you?"

Jing Chen said, "No, I already knew the answer."

Nymph tilted her head, looking at Jing Chen with confusion. She really couldn't understand what Jing Chen meant by those words.

Jing Chen said, "I understood the essence of this world a long time ago. I think no one knows this world better than me, except for people like Synapse. As for my existence, all I can tell you now is that I both exist in reality and do not exist in reality."

"What...does that mean?" Nymph asked.

Jing Chen smiled and said, "For now, just treat this question as an unsolved mystery. In the near future, you will know the answer to my question."

Nymph was still confused, but she didn't ask any more questions. Jing Chen had already said that she would know the answer in the near future.

Before long, the group sat around a barbecue grill with a pot of soup simmering on it.

"In the end, you didn't catch a single one?" Mikako asked.

"What can we do?" Tomoki said.

"No matter what, let's use the wild vegetables that Mizuki and Mikako picked first, even if it's only good for hot pot..." Morigata said, turning around to look at Astraea, who was lying on the ground, starving.

Chu Yuan carried a bowl of hot soup toward Astraea, squatted down, handed the soup to her, and said, "Here you go, Miss Astraea, eat your fill and cheer up!"

Astraea looked up, glanced at Chu Yuan, and then saw the hot soup in his hand. She smiled happily.

Astraea and Jing Chen sat around the barbecue grill, eating heartily. Chu Yuan said, "There's still a lot left." He then held out a hand, ready to serve Astraea some.

"If this works too..." Icarus grabbed a bee from somewhere and walked over.

"Please give me another bowl!"
