Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

Sheung Shui City.

A large single-level apartment.

At this time, Zhou Xiaogu had recovered quite a bit after taking a bath and changing clothes. After all, she had also severely overdrawn her physical strength and mental power, but she was not really injured anywhere.

In this situation, recovery is only a matter of time.

At this moment, she changed into an outfit with black gauze gloves. Without such embellishments, Golden Finger would appear out of place.

Zhou Xiaogu sat on the sofa, took a sip of the iced Americano he had just ordered, and said expressionlessly:

"Too much ice, not bitter enough."

Then put it back in its original position, spread your hands, and gently lie back:

"I didn't expect your house to be so big."

She was always a rich girl, but she wasn't arrogant and knew about the lives and incomes of people in the lower classes.

However, Zhou Xiaogu's personality is the kind that strives endlessly to climb higher.

Even though she was already up there, having been there since birth, she still climbed upwards with unwavering effort.

I don't know if this is innate or acquired.

After all, the advanced civilization she previously belonged to was one that could be eliminated by other civilizations at any time, so those with ability had to work even harder.

For our own sake, and for the sake of civilization.

She must seize every opportunity to become stronger, for only then will civilization have a future.

That's why he was so decisive in killing Chen Xi.

On the one hand, Chen Xi was the only person she could think of and find who met the criteria at the time.

On the other hand, she was very unhappy that Chen Xi had let the bald fake man go, and she didn't know whether he had killed him or not.

"Hehe, this house was earned by my previous male model!"

"On the busiest night, I made 50!"

"You're pretty good."

Zhou Xiaogu gave a brief compliment, and that was it.

50 is a large number, but not much for her. In any world, the main focus is on someone who doesn't suffer.

He seemed to have gotten used to it, and didn't say anything, just smiled:

"Even though I'm already at Stage II, I still occasionally take on part-time jobs. Money is still useful before the world completely collapses."

"At the very least, I can buy the red wine I like."

He sat on the sofa directly opposite Zhou Xiaogu and poured himself a glass of Lafite.

"That guy's progress is too high. Judging from the brightness range of his eye sockets, it's already close to 50%. You said he's in the same overlord sequence as us, so it's normal that we can't win."

"But as long as you make progress and combine it with the exclusive forbidden item, the Golden Finger, I believe that no one except the Emperor can beat you."

"After all, the primordial seed, a forbidden item exclusively for farmers, has been destroyed."

"Disaster."

Zhou Xiaogu frowned slightly.

"I didn't expect him to improve so quickly."

"We're both stuck on the identity mission, with 0% progress. If we can't break through this barrier, it will be very difficult for me to kill him."

"Not only that, the gap will widen further if this continues."

"In that case, it won't be me killing him, but him killing me."

"Therefore, we need to prepare for both possibilities. In addition to Chen Xi as our target, you also need to help me find the so-called symbol, otherwise I will have no chance to advance the progress."

"And if I can't improve... I can't help you with your task either."

He nodded in understanding and gave a knowing "hmm".

Theoretically, it's very difficult to advance to the next level as a male model because there are very few men who meet the requirements.

This would result in a situation where Phase I is difficult to upgrade to, while Phase II is easier to upgrade to.

However, male models, like school beauties, only awaken their powers in specific groups of people.

They are considered special cases and do not awaken randomly.

This would increase the difficulty level, and the results might differ from what the audience concludes.

Male models will find it easier to advance to Stage I, but more difficult to advance to Stage II.

Furthermore, the identity tasks are also linked to the identity to a certain extent.

What does this mean? The identity mission in Phase II is somewhat similar to that of the Dreamer, both requiring entry into the Black Tower.

The Black Tower is generally only accessible in Stage III by one's own skill. Even for the Overlords, it is difficult to enter in Stage II, and it requires 0% progress to enter.

It's more difficult.

However, they may resemble each other, but they are ultimately different.

The meaning of the Phase II identity mission is that he needs to be guided into a female overlord sequence.

Combined with his identity as a male model, this task really does have a bit of the feel of a top female fan.

Zhou Xiaogu is in the third rank, which means she is the highest-ranking female character you can interact with!

Although Zhou Xiaogu is strong enough to get in, the cost would be high, and there would be other implications, making it very risky.

Even if Zhou Xiaogu agrees, He Yi will not agree, so he needs to help Zhou Xiaogu become stronger first.

He took a sip of red wine, and as if thinking of something, said:

"Your task is to eliminate a target with an abnormal lifeline index."

"And the lifeline is lifespan."

"You killed that guy named Chen Xi because his lifespan was always 1 and would never decrease, while you wanted to find the symbol because their lifespans were infinite."

Therefore, both are considered abnormal.

"Is this premise correct?"

"That's right."

Zhou Xiaogu gave a brief response.

He paused for a moment, then placed the wine glass back on the table.

"Besides these two answers, you actually have another option."

"At least in my knowledge, there is one more."

"Oh?"

Zhou Xiaogu's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity. Besides being infinitely large and eternally unchanging, what other abnormalities could there be in lifespan?

0?

That was the first thing that came to her mind.

But 0 couldn't. She encountered the person the painter had painted at the school where the painter worked, but clearing that target was useless, and the progress remained unchanged.

She has already tried this.

"What if the lifespan of a target changes?"

"It's not the kind of change that decreases, but the kind that keeps increasing."

Is this considered unusual?

"Calculate."

"In theory, any organism whose lifespan does not conform to its own characteristics is considered abnormal."

Zhou Xiaogu answered with great certainty.

"Who is this person?"

Zhou Xiaogu pressed for more information.

"Seventh Sequence, Doctor!"

"To be precise, it's an upgrade of the doctor's identity: 'Death'!"

"I don't know the specific details, but I do know that Death can add another person's lifespan to his own!"
