Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

The end of the world is really not far away!

Holy crap...

Zhao Hao was utterly shocked. "I was still holding back and not being reckless, we could win, and you're already shutting down the servers and uninstalling the game?"

When Zhao Hao got home, he thought to himself, "Screw it, what's the point of hiding? I can't die without spending any money!"

Gacha pulls! I pulled them all!

Chapter 360 Ten Consecutive Draws: Electromagnetic Propulsion

According to the chubby director of the Mysterious Bureau, the thirteen savior candidates are to work in teams to complete missions.

Because there is strength in numbers, forming teams of two or three can increase strength and achieve results in multiple areas.

However, he overestimated the awareness and organizational discipline of the thirteen men.

"I alone am enough."

"I'm used to being alone and don't like teaming up."

"If anyone doesn't mind corpses, they can come with me."

"Why are you looking at me? I have some things to do in Northern Europe, we'll talk about it later."

"I...I still need to go to school! I'll be taking the college entrance exam soon."

"Research, no time."

……

The chubby guy was speechless: You guys are the worst batch I've ever managed!

Even if the candidate is based overseas, your words, as the head of the secret service, don't carry much weight.

In the end, Zhao Hao said he could team up with Prada and even bring Ciro along, if he had time... so he finally had a group. He gave him some face.

Unlike others, Zhao Hao was not uninterested in his identity as a candidate and his role in saving the world, or rather, he instinctively avoided it.

Not everyone here is stupid. If the sky falls, someone taller will hold it up. You're trying to use me as a tool? Do I look like the kind of person who would sacrifice themselves?

There are very few extraordinary people, because they don't live long.

But Zhao Hao knew that when the time came, he couldn't hide; instead, he had to take the initiative and try to get a discount. So he gave the fat man face and got a lot of empty promises from him.

Don't underestimate this empty promise. As long as the chubby guy makes his stance clear, Zhao Hao can get benefits from Colt.

Then Colt can say, "It was you, Chief, who said you strongly supported it!"

They've meticulously planned this, even colluding with several countries and major state-owned conglomerates. Going against them won't work, so Zhao Hao wants to delve deeper into the scheme to gather more information and take the initiative as much as possible.

……

Back in Freedom City, Zhao Hao stayed at Gou Quan's house.

That bastard bought a huge mansion, one of those big hillside villas with a swimming pool. And he lives with Prada.

The three were discussing the issue of candidates for savior.

As a family member of both parties, Gou Quan already knew everything about the savior candidate.

When he heard Zhao Hao mention the Doomsday Clock again, he couldn't sit still any longer.

"Is the world really going to end?" he asked nervously.

"Well, although I don't know how it will happen, if that clock really strikes twelve, the world will really end."

Gou Quan immediately sprang to his feet, then jumped up and ran to the side to grab his mobile phone.

"Wait! What are you doing?" Zhao Hao shouted.

Gou Quan quickly said, "I've told the finance manager to sell all the stocks!"

"Fuck you!" Zhao Hao almost laughed out of anger.

Prada rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, "Am I blind?"

"I was thinking that exchanging it for cash or resources would increase my chances of survival," Gou Quan explained, sitting on the sofa.

"Don't worry! If the sky falls, someone taller will hold it up. Do you think if it were the end of the world, your losses would be greater, or the losses of those big tycoons and politicians?"

“Of course it’s the big tycoons. Although our accumulated wealth is considerable, it’s nothing compared to their savings of decades or even centuries.” Gou Quan was quick to react in this regard.

"So, shouldn't they be more anxious than us?" Zhao Hao said. "As the saying goes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. We should just wait and see and let them take the initiative."

Gou Quan couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "The Director's insight is brilliant!"

Of course, that's what they say, but we can't pretend this never happened.

All thirteen savior candidates have benefited greatly from the Mysterious Bureau; you can't refuse when they ask you to do a mission.

Besides, everyone is also very curious about those thirteen sacred objects.

If I could actually get my hands on it, my status... huh? Right?

Take the Ark of the Covenant, for example. Legend has it that it contained the tablets of the Ten Commandments that God gave to Moses, Moses' staff, and other such items.

This thing is undoubtedly a divine artifact.

Moses was about to lead his people out of Egypt to the land of Canaan, which God had promised to flow with milk and honey.

But the Egyptian Pharaoh disagreed. "You think you can just leave like that? These are all my subjects and slaves, you know!"

However, Moses used the tablets of the Ten Commandments to bring ten plagues upon Egypt, in order to demonstrate God's power and show that God's will was unstoppable.

These ten calamities are:

The Nile River was flooded with blood; the water turned blood red, became unbearably foul and undrinkable, and all the fish and shrimp in the river died. It took seven days for the water to clear again.

The frog plague was a devastating one, with countless frogs appearing and covering all of Egypt. Egyptians, who value cleanliness, could not tolerate this. However, in the hearts of Egyptians, frogs were also symbols of the goddess of fertility, so they could not kill frogs indiscriminately.

The plague of lice: He struck the dust on the ground with a staff, and the dust turned into lice all over the land of Egypt.

Fly plague, same as above.

The plague of blisters began when a handful of ashes were taken and thrown into the sky before Pharaoh. The ashes turned into dust throughout Egypt and clung to people and animals, causing blisters.

During the hailstorm, Moses stretched out his staff to heaven, and thunder roared and hail fell. Fire flashed down to the ground, and the hail and fire were mixed together, which was very severe.

The locust plague was an overwhelming swarm of locusts that swept away all trees, crops, and fruits wherever they went.

The plague of darkness meant that all of Egypt spent three days and three nights in darkness.

The plague of the firstborn sons was God's final warning to Pharaoh. Around midnight, he went out and went through all of Egypt, killing all the firstborn sons of Pharaoh on his throne, down to the maidservant behind the millstone, and all the firstborn livestock. There was great wailing throughout Egypt; in every household, at least one person died. (This shows that the God of that time was very severe; the God of later times, who loved the world, was different.)

These ten plagues covered the entirety of Egypt.

Moreover, that was in ancient Egypt.

In other words, the Pharaoh was backed by a god, and the entire ancient Egyptian pantheon served as his support.

However, they were defeated.

For example, the Nile River was a major object of worship for the ancient Egyptians, and frogs, rams, goats, and bulls among their livestock were revered as sacred gods. The sun was also a god they worshipped.

God wanted to destroy all the gods of Egypt, so the ten plagues He used had many lessons and implications.

This was a blow to the entire ancient Egyptian pantheon!

The World Tablet in the Ark of the Covenant certainly has the power to destroy a nation.

Who wouldn't be envious of this?

However, neither Gou Quan nor Prada knew much about the Bible stories.

Prada is a given; she's been a Voodoo believer since childhood, and if you asked her about embalming, she could talk for three days and three nights. But if you asked her about Christian knowledge, that would be asking too much of her.

She's even worse off than Gou Quan. Gou Quan graduated from high school, while she dropped out after two years of junior high.

However, Gou Quan, being an Amis, surprisingly knew very little about Christianity.

Because of Master Zhidian of Fulu Temple, he believed in Buddhism from a young age. Although he only talked about Buddha and had wine and meat in his heart, he was still a Buddhist in a general sense.

So these two people didn't know much about Christian traditions.

Looking at the somewhat bewildered Prada, Zhao Hao thought to himself: Has this mysterious scheme gone mad?

So we have to start from the beginning, from what? From the creation of all things by God~

After talking for a while, they talked about how Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden for eating the forbidden fruit and became the ancestors of mankind.

Gou Quan suddenly raised his hand: "I have a question."

"Say!"

"Adam and Eve were both white, right?"

"Yeah! What else?"

"How did the black man come about? Two white men gave birth to a black man?" Gou Quan's question stumped Zhao Hao.

"Um, well... let me sort this out a bit~"

Zhao Hao's first reaction was actually discrimination! Does the Bible story discriminate against Black people? Why were Adam and Eve white?

On second thought, I realized I was really obsessed, and the idea of ​​fighting poison with poison had driven me a bit insane.

It can only be said that God is the creator of white people, or the creator of a portion of white people, since Zeus and Odin were watching from the sidelines.

Although their religion developed well later and became invincible in the real world, you can't just completely wipe them out! It's not like those small pantheons that destroyed human civilization and labeled their pantheons as demons or something.

In short, don't underestimate it, but don't overestimate it either.

Just wait. The Bureau of Mysteries says they have a lead and are making preparations. They'll notify Zhao Hao and the others when the time is right.

Zhao Hao wasn't idle either. He found Spielberg from the Mantis Shrimp Culture Department and asked, "Take a look at this manuscript of mine. Do you think it has potential?"

Spielberg glanced at it and thought, "Indiana Jones? The name sounds a bit odd..."

It's possible that because Zhao Hao signed him, there was a butterfly effect, which is why they've been filming adaptations of Zhao Hao's novels for the past two years. As a result, "Indiana Jones," which should have already been released, hasn't appeared yet.

After talking with Gou Quan and the others, Zhao Hao suddenly remembered the story about the Ark of the Covenant, and then wrote this simple script, which he then sent to the Pipi Shrimp Culture Department to work on.

You can work and earn money at the same time!

(It's true, we all know a little about Western mythology through movies and such, that's a cultural victory! And look at ourselves? Just look at how many stars this chapter gets~)
