Chapter 161: Modifying Life
"Red Heart 7, I want to meet you."
"I think you are a smart person and should know what to do."
One day, Chen Qi suddenly received a threatening call from Yu Hongwu.
This guy who disappeared for a long time not only appeared again, but also kidnapped his younger brother Tarenno as a threat.
How can this be tolerated?
"Yu Hongwu, I also think you are a smart person."
"I hope you don't do stupid things."
After a verbal confrontation, the two reached a tacit understanding.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Qi began to think about how to deal with it next.
"What is there to hesitate about? Of course, I will stay in the Fadil Mine."
"Of course we can't do what the enemy asks us to do."
"As for those insignificant threats, why should we care?"
"People should be selfish, and players should be more so."
"Waiting for the rabbit is the kingly way. As long as you stay at home honestly, Yu Hongwu will automatically come to your door."
Inside the metal castle, there is only Chen Qi.
However, there was a voice-over that kept sounding, trying to confuse Chen Qi.
The voice-over chattered endlessly, and Chen Qi seemed to be possessed by the magic sound, and his previous choice began to be shaken.
In the end, Chen Qi decided that "I will not move if the enemy does not move", and occupying the home advantage was the kingly way.
As for the minor sacrifices, they were all worth it.
So Yu Hongwu waited for two days, and Chen Qi sat on the Diaoyutai with pride.
However, there are unexpected events, and for some reason, countless aerial bombs suddenly fell from the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Fadil mining area shook and turned into a sea of fire.
Yu Hongwu took the opportunity to rush in and directly hit Chen Qi off guard.
The destruction of most of the Fadil mining area seriously affected Xiaobai's strength, and Chen Qi's home advantage was gone.
The most unlucky one was the sleeping Red Falcon King, who had half of his wings blown off.
After a big battle, the Red Falcon King was killed by the paper man, and Chen Qi was severely injured and fled in embarrassment.
If Xiaobai hadn't stayed behind to cover the retreat, it would have been difficult for Chen Qi to survive.
······
"Why? Why is this happening?"
"Things shouldn't be like this."
"I should be the winner."
In a filthy sewer somewhere, Chen Qi was struggling to survive, feeling angry and resentful.
He always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know where the problem was.
Should he take the initiative to attack and keep the enemy out of the mining area?
But now that things have happened, regrets are useless.
In the end, Chen Qi barely recovered from his injuries after hiding in the sewer for a week.
Although he was defeated this time, at least he survived.
And just when Chen Qi walked out of the sewer, the world suddenly began to freeze.
"The first memory has been changed and anchoring is completely completed."
"Strange, why didn't you kill him?"
"Or why did he think he wouldn't die? Does this guy have any more cards?"
The voice-over sounded again, but this time, there was a little bit of doubt in his tone.
But he didn't care too much, after all, every player was hiding very deeply.
If the 7 of Hearts died so easily, it would make him more suspicious.
"In that case, let's start modifying and anchoring the second memory."
With the murmur of the voice-over, the world began to change again.
······
"7 of Hearts, you have to look at the owner before beating the dog."
"My pet has become disabled, you must give me an explanation for this matter."
"I am backed by the Nulis Federation, you have to think carefully."
"If you offend me, you will not be valued by the Federation even if you are talented."
"Look at how pitiful you are now, a dignified extraordinary person, but you don't even master a spell."
"I think you are a smart person, I believe you won't do stupid things!"
LV4 Cui Lisi looked arrogant, LV3 Chen Qi was silent, and seemed to be struggling in his heart.
"What's there to hesitate about? A real man can bend and stretch, and he who knows the times is a hero."
"That woman is a veteran player at level 4. How can you, a novice player at level 3, be able to deal with her?"
"The woman is backed by the Nulis Federation. With this connection, the inheritance of the extraordinary will not be lacking."
"It's just a temporary compromise. Just a bird, give it to her first."
The voice-over sounded again. Unlike the last time, a vague figure appeared beside Chen Qi.
However, neither Chen Qi nor Cui Lisi noticed anything unusual.
After hesitating again and again, Chen Qi finally chose to give in under the temptation of the vague figure.
After paying a red falcon, he successfully won Cui Lisi's favor.
Cui Lisi generously rewarded him with three spells and said that she would recommend him to Lord Milton.
Chen Qi waited for half a month with great expectations, but Cui Lisi talked about other things and kept delaying.
He even used 5 spells to exchange the source ore from him.
Inside the metal castle, the lonely Chen Qi silently looked at the 8 spells in front of him.
Realizing that he had been deceived, he was extremely angry, but due to the gap in strength between the two, he could only swallow the bitter water and dare not speak out.
"It shouldn't be like this, how could I become like this now?"
"Should I have torn my face with that woman in the first place?"
"Impossible, how can I beat LV4?"
Mumbling to himself, Chen Qi was completely in self-doubt.
"Haha, you did absolutely nothing wrong."
"If you hadn't compromised, you would have died long ago."
"Being alive is the greatest victory, and the rest is insignificant."
Behind Chen Qi, the figure became clearer and clearer, constantly guiding him.
Gradually, Chen Qi seemed to have come to his senses.
Being alive is the most important thing!
"The second memory modification anchoring is complete."
"Ordinary people often say that character determines destiny, but I modify my character by tampering with destiny."
"Killing a person may be difficult, but destroying his self-confidence is much easier."
"Next, I will reverse the life of the 7 of Hearts step by step until I find his weakest point."
As the voice-over fell, the world reversed again.
······
"Hahaha, Seven of Hearts, you can't kill me."
"I, Trudeau, am hiding ten kilometers away, what can you do to me?"
"Hand over the source ore honestly, or I will make your life miserable."
In the Fadil mining area, Chen Qi looked helplessly at the swarm of insects in the sky.
For some reason, Trudeau actually avoided his carefully prepared killing move.
This guy actually chose to let the brain worm commit suicide the moment he was pulled into the virtual game.
The result is that although Chen Qi won the first round of battle, Trudeau came back immediately afterwards.
This time, Trudeau, who saw through Chen Qi's trick, had the upper hand.
"Give up, don't try to resist."
"You've also seen that Trudeau has figured out your situation."
"Once he no longer cares about the loss and strengthens the power of [Life Decay], you will surely die."
"It's just a piece of source ore, and most of it has been eaten up, it's useless, just give it to him."
Behind Chen Qi, a man hid in his shadow and kept persuading him.
After thinking it over again and again, Chen Qi felt that what his shadow said made sense.
It's not worth risking his life for a piece of incomplete source ore.
I blamed myself for having bad luck, and the carefully prepared killing move actually failed.
Alas, I shouldn't have been nervous and hesitant at the time, I was just a little bit slower.
I always mess things up.
Chen Qi fell into "reflection", and his mental state became more and more decadent.
In the end, he accepted Trudeau's blackmail and handed over the source ore.
"Hahaha, it's much easier to modify this memory."
"The third memory modification anchoring is complete."
"Almost there, I feel like I'm getting close to that weak spot."
The shadow behind Chen Qi danced happily, and his face began to become clear, revealing a bit of Qi Tianming's appearance.
No wonder Qi Tianming was so happy, because he had witnessed the birth of a genius before, but now he had personally sent the genius back to the mortal world.
This unspeakable pleasure completely dispelled the original jealousy in his heart.
With the completion of anchoring, the world began to change again.
······
In the city of chaos, Chen Qi was chased by Kolos like a desperate dog.
In the city of chaos, Chen Qi was chased by Feng Xingyun and fled everywhere.
In the end, Chen Qi survived to the end by "hiding", successfully picked up Najier's body, and completed the task.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that you could survive by hiding!"
"But you, Red Heart 7, look like a lost dog now!"
Qi Tianming stood in front of Chen Qi with a mocking look on his face, but Chen Qi seemed to have long been accustomed to his existence and did not think there was anything wrong with it.
"What's wrong with hiding? Living is the kingly way!"
"Even if you live in a humble way, it is a kind of victory."
Chen Qi argued, but Qi Tianming looked disdainful.
"The fourth memory modification anchoring is completed."
"You are really boring now!"
Qi Tianming looked at Chen Qi with disgust, and after completing the anchoring, he immediately tampered with the world.
The next moment, Chen Qi appeared in a remote alley, and [Jomoya Chris] was lying in front of him.
"Save me, save me quickly!"
"As long as you save me, I will give you 5 million."
Jomoya Chris looked at Chen Qi with hope, but the latter was terrified.
"So this is your chance to become a player, incredible!"
"7 of Hearts, oh, you should be called Chen Qi now."
"What will you choose?"
Qi Tianming watched the show with interest, and this time he said nothing.
······
"Save or not save?"
Chen Qi was extremely entangled, as if there were two villains fighting each other in his brain.
"This guy seems to be a big shot, maybe he will really give me 5 million."
"Don't dream, how many rich people have you seen who are good people?"
"This guy has offended the gang members just now, and you are just asking for trouble if you save him."
"The best way is to protect yourself, run quickly."
After hesitating for a long time, Chen Qi turned and ran.
However, what Chen Qi didn't see was that at the moment he turned and left.
Jormoya Chris died completely, and a card appeared on his body.
Chen Qi turned and ran, and missed the opportunity to become a player again.
"Hahaha, 7 of Hearts, is this your choice?"
"No, there is no 7 of Hearts now."
"Hahaha!"
Qi Tianming looked at Chen Qi's escaping figure, and his whole body was filled with joy.
It turns out that the so-called genius is nothing more than that, and he was just an ordinary person in the beginning.
"The fifth memory has been modified and anchored. I can already feel it. The next memory is the key point!"
"From now on, there will never be another 7 of Hearts in the world."
With a cruel smile on his face, Qi Tianming once again moved the world.
······
November 22, 17648 AD.
There was pouring autumn rain in the sky, which was almost freezing everyone's hearts.
"Plop!"
Chen Qi, who had just been fired from the company, was walking home in despair.
By accident, he fell directly into the puddle.
"Why, why is fate so unfair to me?"
"I can not be reconciled!"
Chen Qi, covered in mud, vented his dissatisfaction to the sky, and then the cold rain taught him how to behave.
After several chills, Chen Qi had to flee back to the rental house in embarrassment.
However, misfortune never comes singly, and soon the landlord called for collection.
And this seemed to be the straw that broke the camel's back, and Chen Qi's life completely collapsed.
"Look at what you look like now. What's the difference between you and a stray dog on the roadside?"
"I work very hard for more than ten hours every day to earn a little money."
"You behave so well, but what you get in return is oppression and oppression from your superiors."
"Look at those gang members, they don't have to do anything and they can eat and drink well every day."
"Is this fair? This is not fair at all."
"But fate is so unfair. You are destined to be like this in your life."
"Can you change? Do you have a chance to change? No!"
"Anyway, you are helpless and alone, why do you have to live in such pain?"
"It's better to go to another world, maybe you can start a new life."
Qi Tianming crossed his legs and sat on the only chair in the room.
It's as if he is the owner here.
Chen Qi stared at him numbly, extremely serious and serious.
"Why, am I right?"
"If you look at your future, do you think it's still hopeful?"
"Your passion and ideals have been wiped out long ago, and there is only endless nothingness and darkness ahead of you."
"If you think about it a little more openly, if you die early and are born again, do you still miss this dirty and dark world?"
Qi Tianming looked at Chen Qi without showing any signs of weakness. At this moment, he completely changed his mind.
In the end, Chen Qi was defeated!
His face instantly turned gray, and his eyes completely lost their luster.
Qi Tianming watched all this with great satisfaction. The consciousness of life is so fragile and always needs some ethereal things to support it.
And once those supports are extracted, consciousness will inevitably collapse.
Now it's just waiting for "Chen Qi" to make the final move.
As expected, Chen Qi lived up to Qi Tianming's expectations. A hanging rope was already hung on the beam.
However, Qi Tianming waited and waited, but Chen Qi still refused to hang himself.
"How long have you been dawdling?"
"You don't even have the courage to die!"
If he couldn't do it himself, Qi Tianming would have liked to hang Chen Qi up himself.
"Why!"
Chen Qi, who was holding the sling in his hand, suddenly sighed.
"Brother, there's no need to go so far."
"When you tortured me repeatedly before, I have endured it."
"Now you are actually advising me to commit suicide. This is a bit too unkind."
"That's almost it. My cooperation also has a bottom line."
Chen Qi casually threw the hanging rope at Qi Tianming's feet. He really couldn't continue acting.
