Star Iron: Imaginary numbers? Dude, I play with quantum reconstruction.

"I should just execute a biased referee like you. Do you prefer a baseball bat or a fire spear? Do you want to be electrocuted into dust or burned into a lump of charcoal?" Qiong slowly pulled out a baseball bat surging with electricity from behind her.

Fei Ying stared at the two glowing instruments of torture, her face turning deathly pale. Her intuition told her she was going to die, she was sure she was going to die. The destructive aura emanating from the baseball bats was even more suffocating to her than the Demon Lord from beyond the boundary.

"No, no, wait a minute! Why are you in such a hurry?! Don't you guys have a gentler way of handling this? I'm really the referee in this game. If I lie to you, I'll be thrown over the shoulder by a banana peel every time I go out."

Qiong sheathed his weapon, a smile on his face. He was curious to see what kind of nonsense this tree spirit could spout. "Just kidding... You say you're the referee, show me your evidence. For example, conjure up a scoreboard."

"Or... bring me the real-time leaderboard. As a referee, you can't possibly not even have this much authority, right? If you do, you're really finished. This game is the same whether you're here or not."

"Um... there is a ranking list, but it's not here." Fei Ying swallowed hard. This visitor was way too overpowered; it was ridiculously strong.

She was speechless. She thought the aloof Qinglong man from last night was already grumpy enough, but she didn't expect there to be someone even uglier.

No wonder he's called a demon god; he's not even human. Who would start a fight with a barrage of mental attacks right away, sending her to a fire scene to fight a deadly battle with a black-clad grim reaper? And she's the kind of character who gets instantly killed.

She suddenly began to miss the Heavenly Azure Dragon; at least that dragon hadn't unleashed a flood upon her.

But this demon of eternal night truly wanted to turn her into charcoal for the winter.

She originally planned to persuade the various powerful envoys to join her in fighting against the unofficial dragon emperor from beyond the heavens. Of course, this was a plan she came up with last night based on information broadcast in the news.

Who would have thought that upon waking up, a large magic array sealing the remnants of the gluttonous body would be filled with a multitude of divine beings paying homage, and a thunderous dragon king would appear in the sky, bringing a sense of redemption?

If it were just the Dragon Emperor alone, she wouldn't have thought much of it. But when she saw that the Dragon Emperor not only killed the Hunting General single-handedly, but also caught an arrow from the Hunting General, she lost her composure.

This is such a standard raid boss template, definitely an enemy from outer space. He should sit at the same table as the Demon Lord from beyond the realm.

Above them is an overpowered Dragon Emperor, below them are fragments of gluttony, and in the middle is a chaotic melee of gods and envoys.

(Fei Ying: The Second Phase Paradise Potion has cost 80,000 pills. The God of Fun is doomed too!)

"What are you thinking with those glazed eyes? You're not planning to lure me into some special alternate dimension and then attack me, are you?"

Qiong stared at Fei Ying's unfocused eyes, then suddenly turned to Xi Lian and said, "This girl is actually daydreaming? Mimi, keep controlling her."

Fei Ying reacted quickly and immediately used a series of favor-boosting moves. She looked at Qiong with deep affection and said, "Hey! Wait! Wait a minute! Demon God of Eternal Night, from the moment you stepped into the Paradise of Two Phases as an Attendant, I was deeply attracted by your charm! During our encounter at the academy, my heart was already stolen by you, and perhaps I will never experience joy or sorrow again in this life... I've always been your fan! If..."

Xi Lian: ?

"It seems my partner was right, you really are no good. You despicable villain, trying to deceive my partner with sweet words. I must teach you to love from everyone's beautiful story!" Xi Lian's face was as gloomy as a torrential downpour at midnight, and a barely perceptible flash of lightning even appeared in the shadows on her face.

Fei Ying immediately realized something was wrong. Whether or not she consumed the Journey of Fire had nothing to do with the Eternal Night Demon God. The main issue was the pink-haired Memory Master next to her! This Memory Master was the executioner who would decide whether or not she consumed the Journey of Fire!

She accidentally increased her favorability rating; now she can passionately stab the Grim Reaper in black again.

"Hey... Miss Mimi, actually, ever since you stepped into the Two-Phase Paradise... Ah—!"

Xi Lian tore a blank page from "As I Write" and instantly imprinted it into Fei Ying's mind.

"You can't call me 'Mimi'."

Qiong looked at Xi Lian, staring at the book "As I Write" in Xi Lian's hand, and asked, "What did you do? How did you stuff that paper in there?"

Xi Lian pinched her index finger and thumb into a C shape and said playfully to Qiong, "I used a little... magic."

......

Haiyuan City——

Bai E stared at the visitor who walked towards him like a zombie, an aura of helplessness emanating from beneath his black robe. "Is it a person wearing a mask, or a mask replacing a person? I can no longer understand."

With his right hand gripping the hilt and his left hand stroking the blade, a purplish-black flame leaped across the morning light like a newborn child.

"Stop in your tracks, you who put on masks because you want to become ushers."

Only a few scattered visitors stopped, while the rest continued to approach him under the mask representing the Deathbringer.

“The guess was right.” Bai E plunged Qin Chen into the ground, and black flames spread along the surface, instantly burning away all the masks of the visitors.

Looking at the visitors who were still standing in the same place, he simply said, "Leave now, without sadness or pain."

"Otherwise, just like them, wait for the doctor to come and get you."

The situation in Haiyuan City is beyond his control; he can't suppress it. Not only are there walking corpses wearing tree bark masks, but also a group of brainless followers.

There were also a very few chuunibyou teenagers who treated him like a boss and would post messages on the rooftop in the middle of the night calling him the Black Flame Monarch.

If he stays any longer, his surroundings will turn into an ecosystem of ushers.

Just as he was about to leave, he sensed a ripple beneath the surface of the sea, a greedy and tempting ripple.

He quickly turned to look at the sea, but the sea was so calm, as if nothing had happened.

What's hidden in the sea?

He pulled the morning glory seed from the ground, turned his back to the fallen crowd, and walked towards the ocean.

"That power... it feels familiar. Is it the detective's power? Or the monster from that blood-red world? But why is it in the sea?"

After arriving at a place without surveillance, he removed his fire-stealing mask and began to examine the unfathomable ocean.

Chapter 762 Aha is an impolite shrimp-headed god

Schools of deep-sea fish swam past him as Bai E walked along the seabed with a frown.

He slightly opened his mouth and tasted the saltiness of the seabed.

(The seawater here is much saltier than in Onphalus. It also has a bloody smell.)

This was very wrong. This sea area defied his common sense. The deeper he went, the stronger the tempting greed became.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in his field of vision. It was a creature that looked like a "dragon". The ocean currents generated by the creature's movement in the sea could pull him out of the water.

(What...what kind of monster is this? Hmm—)

Its wide tail fin is a hundred meters long, which is enough to be called an ocean current weapon in the deep sea at a depth of 10,000 meters.

Bai E's body was pulled upwards by the undercurrent, and the undercurrent stirred up by his tail fin forced him to abandon the idea of ​​exploring further.

He surfaced, spitting out the seawater in his mouth. "Cough cough... Is this creature a local species of fish? Or a monster that escaped from that blood-red world?"

He looked around and found that the surroundings were shrouded in white mist. He rubbed his sky-blue eyes, but the white mist in his vision had not yet dissipated.

He stopped acting and stood up on the water.

Why does such a thick fog form at sea around noon?

As he soared into the air, he realized that the white mist beneath his feet had vanished in an instant.

He instinctively looked up at the illusory moon in the sky. "The refraction of light? What exactly is that monster in the sea?"

The Secret Garden of Illusory Moon —

Qiong looked at the surrounding shrines, each with a mask hanging on it. "Is this the real-time ranking you were talking about? Why are there so many strange masks? Is this ranking a physical entity?"

"How...how did this place become like this?"

Fei Ying's face instantly switched from a mask of pain. At this moment, the shrine, like Louis XVI's, stretched as far as the eye could see.

She only had three to five hundred masks before she left, but when she returned the next day, she conservatively estimated that she had 100,000 masks.

"They're here, they're all here! All the citizens have become ushers. Ten thousand ushers battling the Demon God of Eternal Night... Hahaha... I'm doomed..."

She knelt on the water in the secret courtyard, golden leaves of the Jianmu tree falling around her like rain. "So many visitors, when will we ever finish?"

"Well, for now I'll believe you're the referee. But as a referee, can't you just disqualify someone directly? Or do you disqualify them by personally confronting the violator on the field? If so, you're completely useless as a referee; you don't even have this one special ability."

Qiong, with one hand in her pocket, picked up a mask that had fallen off the shrine. "This eggplant... isn't that the mask worn by the student who hit me with the stool? How did it end up in the water?"

"Snap—"

The mask in her hand dissipated as a manifestation of her willpower. Qiong looked at her empty palm and asked, "Does this mean these fallen masks are eliminated? If these masks keep popping out, doesn't that mean more people are participating in this game?"

Xi Lian showed the message on her phone to Qiong, "Partner, according to the statistics from the Anomaly Defense Department, based on the current upward trend, the number of visitors seems to be breaking 30 by midnight tonight. This was posted just one minute ago."

Fei Ying, who was kneeling on the water, raised her head. She seemed unwilling to hear the news, her face full of rejection. "What?! 30? Where did they get so much wish power to give them? God of Music, have you sold yourself?!"

"Isn't the power of will the power of belief? Huan Yue herself said that believing in oneself is enough. I feel that 30 people are still not enough. My sister has banned more than 800 million accounts just by banning accounts. There should be at least four or five million visitors to saturate the market, right?"

Upon hearing Qiong's words, Fei Ying's face turned green; she felt as if tree branches were growing from her body.

"Buddy, actually Xing banned a total of 3582 million accounts. If this continues, it might take 1000 million more users to saturate the market, right?"

(Feiying: Hey! Chovy! What are you doing?! You should have kept this usher qualification! Why are you throwing it out like a rotten vegetable leaf? Now that you've given out all the ushers qualifications, are you not going to issue any more?)

Hearing Xi Lian's finishing blow, Fei Ying had already lost all hope of living. So many visitors—she'd practically grown leaves just listening to them.

A branch slowly grew from her head, and two golden apricot leaves grew from the branch.

"Ten million visitors? It would be quite a sight to see them fight... but the aftermath would be difficult to handle."

Qiong turned her head and noticed the leaves growing on Feiying's head, muttering, "Hey, why are leaves growing on your head? Are you trying to die like your mother?"

Fei Ying turned her head, looking puzzled. "What mother? Where did I get a mother?"

Qiong pointed to the Jianmu tree in the center of the secret courtyard, "Isn't this your mother? Look at how yellow the leaves are, she's about to die of old age."

"This is me."

Qiong glanced at the tree, then at Feiying. The tree was golden, so why was its spirit pink? Qiong couldn't understand. "Um... why are you pink? Shouldn't you be yellow? Or is this tree dying? Why don't you buy yourself some fertilizer? You're not getting enough nutrients, and your leaves are turning yellow and scorched. You look like you're about to die."

“I look like this now, just like I did before I became Jianmu. What Jianmu looks like is exactly what I look like. The two have absolutely nothing to do with each other, okay?” Fei Ying’s tone was tinged with exhaustion. She had given up on this mental torture, and there was still a second hurdle to overcome.

"So, besides being able to see these masks, you have no other abilities? What kind of referee are you? If you see an attendant you don't like, just give him a red card and send him off, wouldn't that be enough?"

Qiong couldn't help but laugh at Fei Ying's soulless state. A referee in the God Ascension Game, and all the power a referee has is to look at the leaderboard? Wouldn't that be a laughing stock if word got out?

Fei Ying was speechless. Qiong was treating her like an organizer and sponsor, playing a custom game here? "It's not that simple. As long as the contestants don't break the rules, there's nothing I, as the referee, can do. Besides, with so many contestants, I can't possibly supervise everyone."

"Why don't you just change the rules? Sigh, what a useless referee." Qiong had just finished sighing when she realized something was wrong. How could a Jianmu spirit referee suddenly appear in the Land of Pleasure?

"Wait a minute, how did a bountiful tree spirit like you become a referee in the Illusion Moon Game? You almost fooled me!"

Fei Ying laughed. She hadn't intended to be a referee here. She was sleeping peacefully in the pharmacist's nursery when Aha took her away as a local specialty. Aha was such a rude god.

"You think I wanted to be this referee? Ah, He's a 'Totopian swear word'! He's the one who stole me from the Apothecary's nursery and transplanted me here!"

Chapter 763 Fei Ying breathed out

"Oh, so you were kidnapped by Aha. That's not surprising. But... what exactly is the use of you as a referee? I don't see any other purpose for you besides checking the leaderboard."

"And your lousy ranking list is terribly ugly. Can't you be a little more modern? Can't you be a little more data-driven? Are you just going to let these few yellow leaves glow as a display of willpower?"

Fei Ying: ......
