This is my revenge!

Ling Ke waved his hand, "I could tell you were concerned about my personal safety at that time."

"Although, I don't need your concern in this regard."

"Huh?"

Himiko smiled, "Are you confident in your own abilities?"

"At least it's not that easy to die."

Ling Ke said, "Since you don't even have to worry about this kind of thing, then naturally there's nothing to be afraid of... well, you'll naturally become braver."

It was a close call, I almost made a U-turn.

At this moment……

"I'll take the liberty of asking."

Himiko's expression became more serious. "Are you... the Destiny Walker who has awakened his 'power'?"

Destiny Walker...this concept has now become popular throughout the universe.

Unfortunately, embarking on the "path of destiny" is not that simple.

Indeed, when someone breaks a cup, it can be considered "destruction", memorizing a word can be considered "memory", and telling a joke can be considered "joy".

However, just like the situation of ascending to the throne of "Star God", when Ling Ke grafted the concept of destiny from the parallel universe next door, he also set a "threshold" for the bottom line of these paths.

He did not want to see superpowers spread...even if the will of most people, plus their own luck, could only make them a "low-ability person" who couldn't even bend a spoon.

He grafted his destiny in order to see what was not a fake... the spark of civilization, the brilliance of humanity.

I'm not trying to be a good person who sells out extraordinary powers.

If anyone could use imaginary energy, which is purer than Honkai energy, it would be too cheap.

If there is no gap between people, how can he create more unique "perspectives" to view the world?

In short, ever since becoming the "World Destroyer", almost everything Ling Ke has done in the past has been for himself.

Either to satisfy one's desire for revenge, or to satisfy one's curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

Or even... maybe just to kill time.

To sum up, for most intelligent creatures, becoming a Star God is out of the question, and becoming a Destiny Walker... is not easy either.

It is also in this general environment that the value of existence of every destiny traveler will not be low.

therefore……

"If I answer: I am... will I be immediately taken away for biopsy?"

Ling Ke asked deliberately.

"will not."

Himiko said seriously, shaking her head, "Even if it's just a joke, please don't bring it up so casually... I personally don't like that kind of thing."

"So... my choice is: I want to invite you to join my team."

"..."

The red-haired woman in front of him didn't know that her answer saved many lives.

Because just now, Ling Ke was obviously deliberately throwing out a trap-like "death question".

If the answer is wrong...

Current Civilization Era: Hello?

Fortunately, Himiko's reply and her attitude made Ling Ke very satisfied.

and so……

“My salary requirements are very high.”

Ling Ke raised his right hand and said, "Besides, what's your Fifth Team? Do you recruit people so casually?"

"If I remember correctly, the Fire Moth is at least an official organization under the United Nations."

Speaking of which, because the world is about to undergo major changes recently, the United Nations has already fully disclosed the existence of the anti-Honkai organization "Fire Moth" in advance.

This is much earlier than the relevant process in the original historical trajectory.

For a time, this news naturally caused an uproar around the world.

However, the politicians and business tycoons who had been put under "discipline" and control by Aponya cleverly used this flashpoint to more or less distract from other... well, other more serious issues that should have received attention.

For example: things about the "cold wave".

Now, many people are indeed speculating that countries around the world have suddenly started building base cities. Is it really just to resist the so-called "Honkai" disaster?

And that group of superhumans...it turns out they've existed for a long time!

The top government officials have been hiding the truth and deceiving the public...

Naturally, there was another round of condemnation for these things.

But the power and voice of these groups are too small to cause any waves.

Even if there are signs of a large-scale public outcry about trouble, some people will mysteriously "disappear."

As for this development, according to Ling Ke's description before his "death in the mortal world"... when he was still alone in the theater, working as the "old man in the monitoring room," he said: "It almost smells like the news blackout in the early stages of '2012'."

In short, under the behind-the-scenes control of the New World Snake, the current human civilization on Earth can be said to have achieved a "pseudo-unified" situation.

Ling Ke, the "audience", knew it, and Kevin and the others certainly knew it too... The hidden dangers of doing this are not small.

But the latter group has no choice.

They had missed too many good opportunities before, causing the overall situation to deteriorate rapidly. Now they could only unite all the forces that could be united as much as possible... They no longer had the time to consider whether the means were despicable or not.

It is under these major premises...

"Are your salary requirements high?"

Himiko asked with a smile, "How much salary do you want?"

In the interrogation room, Ling Ke raised his right hand and pointed his index finger. "I need 10 million... Euros."

"This is the contract signing fee, paid in full. Subsequent missions will be charged separately."

He crossed his arms over his chest, "If you agree, after the deal is done, I will become your team's...special consultant."

Obviously, he just made this asking price casually and it had no special meaning at all.

In Ling Ke's eyes, it was just a formality... and a way to test the judgment of the person in front of him.

And about this...

"???"

Himiko was stunned.

Compared to this price, all her wages over the years added together are far behind.

and……

"You're asking such a high price, and you're just being a consultant?"

Himiko crossed her arms habitually, "Besides, subsequent missions are another matter... These aren't consultants anymore, they're mercenaries, right?"

"Of course, you can understand it that way."

Ling Ke spread his hands and shrugged, "It's the same old thing... I'm used to being free and undisciplined, and I don't like people telling me what to do from above."

"and……"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, "Don't worry, this price..."

“Absolutely great value for money!”

At this moment, seeing Ling Ke so confident...

"Would you like to show off your "power"?"

Himiko did not act like a labeling minion, mocking the other party for overestimating their own abilities without any basis.

Instead, he asked this question very seriously.

Regarding this…

"can."

Ling Ke's evaluation of her became a little higher.

It is not difficult to see that after being unexpectedly "invited" here today, Ling Ke had obviously suddenly decided to add some interesting off-field factors to the current "perspective".

For example: people related to Fire Moth.

No need to be enlisted or active duty, just "relevant" is enough.

Because, after witnessing the tragic situation in Namba City today, he clearly realized a fact...

"Those who suddenly lost something they cherished, and whose hearts were filled with raging hatred, will likely all have the same goal in mind."

"And to achieve that goal (revenge), joining the Fire Moth is a path that cannot be ignored."

"In the coming period, the scale of the Fire Moth organization will become larger and larger."

"Here, the true manifestation of human nature will be more explicit."

"And I need such an 'audience seat'."

"And on this basis..."

Ling Ke has already planned to delegate more control puppets, allowing them to quietly integrate into the general public and create more "reserve seats" on standby, waiting for him to switch at will.

These characters who can provide more "perspectives" can be experienced explorers and archaeologists, journalists and chefs with good physical fitness, doctors proficient in close combat, mechanics with strong hands-on skills, racing drivers and pilots with superb driving skills... and so on.

Lingke has as many game character templates like this as you need.

Even... in order to ensure absolute authenticity in the Age of Disaster, Ling Ke would allow Kali and her "descendants" to attack or even kill these characters at will.

In this way, this "game" is worth his challenge, and this "script" has more unknowns.

Of course, Ling Ke does not intend to use them to change the general trend of the current civilization era, so... the number of this backup group should not be too large.

"Just one thousand!"

He quickly made a decision. "I'm not a Herrscher who acts specifically to destroy civilization. I just need to follow the natural course of events."

"I also want to see how the puppets that have inherited my memories and personalities will behave if they use their 'limited powers' to act in the harsh environment of the future."

When you think about it this way... you know what, it's really interesting.

Of course, now...

"Okay, come with me."

Himiko stood up and said, "There is a dedicated combat training room in this branch base."

"It will definitely allow you to... give full play to your potential."

ps: I saw a book friend ask before, what is the use of the game character templates drawn by the protagonist, those that are not strong?

Here~ this is how to use it.

Like Lara from the Tomb Raider series, Nathan from the Uncharted series, Leon from the Resident Evil series, and... Aunt Wang.

Next, we will provide the perspective of "ordinary people" for subsequent stories.

Although none of them are ordinary, they are all little superheroes →_→

Volume 139: Chapter : Destiny Walker

North Africa, Sahara Desert.

[Surface temperature: -1℃]

For North Africa, which is located in the equatorial region, this temperature is undoubtedly very low.

However, considering the huge temperature difference between day and night in the desert area...at least for the Sahara Desert, it is still within the tolerable range...the limit.

It is in this environment...

Today, as the behind-the-scenes organization that controls the entire human civilization, the New World Snake's central headquarters base... and its surrounding defense measures have been much improved compared to before.
