Chapter 113 112: New Gods and the Secret of Corruption

(This chapter can be regarded as a further supplement to the world view. It is best not to read ten lines at a glance, which will help to understand the subsequent plot.)

Zhou Baiyu always believed that the New Gods were far away from the Forerunners.

When facing recruitment, you must learn to think in a game way, although the so-called recruitment is not a real game.

But in fact, Zhou Baiyu really regarded each of the characters in the advance world as NPCs.

Each NPC requires a different strategy, some need to show kindness, and some need to be killed.

The new gods are definitely very distant NPCs.

In Zhou Baiyu’s view, whether it is the post-apocalyptic era of 2.0 or the doomsday era started by 1.0——

In fact, they are all Novice Village versions.

Before human beings come into contact with "us" and before they explore the essence, they will always be chess pieces.

Now Dr. A suddenly mentioned the New God, which made Zhou Baiyu feel a little dazed.

There is a feeling that when I am still leveling up in the Novice Village, the big boss of the Demon King is blocking the door of the Novice Village.

He felt an urgent sense of crisis.

But Zhou Baiyu knew very well that next, he would mediate with Dr. A.

To put it simply - negotiate the price.

Since Dr. A himself is a god and uses his own clone as an intermediary...

Come to think of it, he decides the price at which a piece of information is sold.

So Zhou Baiyu quickly showed a kind of calmness, or ignorance.

He divided the dialogue into two parts, one light and the other heavy:

"Oh... New Gods? It sounds quite fantasy, but according to you, all you need to do is completely wipe out their followers, right?"

"By the way, why can you know what I've been through? According to what we said before, you can't pry into my life, are you monitoring me? I'm afraid I can't trust a dishonest partner."

No one likes to be watched.

But Zhou Baiyu actually doesn't care about being monitored by Sister Lin or Dr. A.

The purpose of his words was to accuse, in order to improve his "initial status in conversation."

Dr. A is also affected by characteristics. Zhou Baiyu's orator characteristics made him subconsciously want to explain.

"Don't be nervous. I'm a businessman. I can't offend my customers by offending anyone."

"I can't spy on you. My power is limited. At best, all I can do is extend an invitation to you."

"I can't even have a conversation with you. As for why I know what happened to you, this is just my guess. Because... I sensed the smell of a new type of corruption - believers of the New God."

Zhou Baiyu's frown became more intense, and he looked at Dr. A with an expression of "Oh, you don't seem to be convincing."

Dr. A had no choice but to tell more about the “free” information:

"Smells of the same kind always make me more concerned. After all, I have been a forerunner, a corrupt species, and a human in your world, but I am also a human in the forerunner world."

Relying on the ability of soul transfer, Dr. A's journey is extremely rich.

He continued:

"I have recorded a lot of smells, as if there is a difference between rotten species and rotten species."

"Believers of the New God are another type of corruption. And I just want to remind you that to kill such people... all you need to do is to erase the mark of faith on them."

Zhou Baiyu suddenly thought of Zhang Haoyun's words——

"This person exudes a strange aura. He is very close to me... but he seems different."

This sentence can be regarded as confirming what Dr. A said.

But although dogs and wolves are different, they are essentially the same type of creature.

Therefore, believers of the New God are indeed a corrupt species.

Zhou Baiyu's expression softened a little, but he was still a little doubtful:

"Can you sense their breath at the transfer station?"

"The transfer station I built is different from the transfer station of the nine middlemen. To put it simply, I am very close to you. And I happen to... have the ability to identify gods and personal characteristics. So I know you

You are facing a believer of some god this time. But I am not spying on you."

Dr. A’s words clearly stated his position.

Zhou Baiyu nodded and pretended to accept Dr. A's statement, but he pretended to be reluctant.

At this time, he slowly said:

"Why are the followers of the New God a corrupt species? What exactly is the New God?"

Dr. A followed the words and wanted to answer:

"When the corruption grows to a certain level... it will get rid of -"

Huh? No, why should I tell him this.

Dr. A realized that he seemed to be suppressed by this boy's words. He was a little unhappy:

"This content requires payment."

Zhou Baiyu said:

"You've already made up your mind, so let's finish it. You know, I have the right to choose. After each recruitment, I don't have to choose to come to you."

Dr. A is helpless:

"This is one of my ultimate bargaining chips. Based on the information I can master at this stage, this will allow you to understand part of the origin, which will be of great help to you in understanding the coming doomsday."

He gradually regained his momentum, put away his helpless expression, and smiled evilly:

"I can tell you everything, the new gods, the old gods, the corrupt species, and what role the Forerunners play."

"But you have to pay the corresponding fee. I have to tell you, this fee is not cheap."

Zhou Baiyu continued to mediate and showed top-notch pulling:

"But as I continue to investigate, I should be able to find this, right? Also, you once left a notebook. The wrong information in that notebook, if known by the Forerunners, will directly cause the Forerunners to collapse.

"

"Now you're telling me that it's inappropriate for me to spend a lot of advance points to buy your information, isn't it?"

"Especially, I did not participate in the recruitment. If my advance value suddenly decreases, then I will have no way to explain it to the middleman."

"After all, the 'pseudo-trait' you gave me - unstable financial manager - can only take effect after the recruitment is over and the advance points are obtained."

Dr. A has met his match.

This was the first time he saw such a stingy yet well-organized customer:

"You...can't have sex for nothing, right?"

"I can promise to spend more with you next time."

Once the middleman is regarded purely as a "store owner who expects customers to spend money", as a customer with a lot of money in hand, it seems that he has taken the initiative in an instant.

Dr. A was suddenly able to understand why this guy could get his notes and why he could survive from his granddaughter Anya.

He does need a lot of advance points, even though his only follower is Zhou Baiyu.

Compared to other middlemen, his efficiency seems to be much slower.

In fact, Zhou Baiyu is also very curious about this question - what does Dr. A need to do in advance?

What is the true meaning of advance value?

After all - other middlemen control the inheritors of the old gods, and an old god may have thousands of inheritors.

Just like Sister Lin, Sister Lin's tavern actually has many "dungeons". Each alienated person occupies a separate one, and she is one of them.

Even if these alienators perform poorly, they will definitely earn more advance points than they would on their own.

In Zhou Baiyu's opinion, middlemen need a lot of advance points, which must be the advance points that can allow them to be free, or to solve certain mysteries or other ultimate tasks.

But Dr. A is just a believer, and that tube of reagent is his only work...

Just rely on yourself as a believer to collect advance points. It doesn't look like you are going to complete any great mission...

But the reality is that Dr. A really lacks advance value. After being silent for a while, he said:

"Okay...since you said so, let me tell you. This is my current understanding of this doomsday and Ragnarok."

"Of course, all the information I got was obtained by me after constantly changing my soul. I cannot guarantee that these contents are absolutely true."

"Just like me, I once thought I found the truth and wrote down notes, but that note also misled you, didn't it?"

Seeing Zhou Baiyu's lack of response, Dr. A felt a little bored, and then he began to organize his words:

"Among the Corruption Species, there used to be many top-level powerful beings, more powerful than any Corruption Species you encountered in the Vanguard World, including Sui Shen. Of course, these top-level beings have all completed their divine ordination."
