Chapter 2771 - 1878: This Is Not the End (Finishing What Needed to Be Done Today)

Chapter 2771: Chapter 1878: This Is Not the End (Finishing What Needed to Be Done Today)

When Duanmu Huai opened his eyes, he found himself floating in space filled with debris, and a system prompt appeared before him.

[GM9134: Congratulations player on completing the level]

"In the game, subtitles and credits should appear at this point, right?"

Duanmu Huai sighed.

"Unfortunately, reality isn’t so easy."

[GM9134: Is that so?]

"That’s right, the Evil God is finished, but the soil where the Evil God incubates is still there."

While speaking, Duanmu Huai glanced towards the distant Eye of Fear, although the Evil God was destroyed, this hemorrhoid in the Milky Way still maintained its nauseating appearance.

"And then there’s a grand expedition to purify the subspace completely, cleaning up the filth accumulated over thousands of millennia in the Milky Way to ensure no more annoying critters like cockroaches hatch again."

Indeed, for Duanmu Huai, defeating the Evil God is not the end, but just the beginning. What he’s doing now is merely getting rid of the four biggest roaches that hatched in the subspace dump. But if the current polluted and trash-ridden state of the subspace isn’t changed, the emergence of a new King Roach is just a matter of time.

[GM9134: I thought you’d be more relaxed, player]

"Actually, I quite enjoy this life."

Duanmu Huai shrugged, since in the original world, his skills were of no use, at most he’d just play games. But now, at least he can use his skills to do something grandiose. Back in the original world, that would likely land him in jail. So although this life is quite dangerous, Duanmu Huai quite enjoys it.

It’s like some people love playing FPS games, while disdainfully ignoring business simulation games; to them, living amid gunfire is what’s fun. And for Duanmu Huai, going to a world on the brink of destruction and mercilessly wiping out all the enemies there is simply the best form of entertainment.

It’s also an essential part of life, at least for Duanmu Huai.

Moreover, even if the subspace is purified, it doesn’t mean it’s all over. The Tyron Swarms are still eyeing the Milky Way, Outer Gods and The Ancient Dominator are unavoidable troubles. Not to mention those entities constantly dumping garbage into the subspace.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai feels that he has a long road ahead.

"Hey, you can’t just fleece me alone all the time."

[GM9134: Father... cough cough, there are plans from above, but since that’s the case, it seems the gift we’ve prepared doesn’t suit you]

"Gift? What’s that?"

Duanmu Huai suddenly perked up, although it’s typical for operators to provide gifts to players, Duanmu Huai never expected this stingy system to be so generous.

[GM9134: The coordinates of your home planet]

"..............."

Silence.

"Wait a minute, didn’t I cross into this world?"

[GM9134: Crossing can be in terms of time, or space. As you’ve experienced, moving from one planet to another is also crossing]

"So your meaning is........."

[GM9134: We have never stated that our company’s game content is purely fictional; any resemblance is purely coincidental]

".........Didn’t you?"

[GM9134: No]

Your messy company sure plays these text games masterfully, Duanmu Huai thinks it over, indeed hasn’t seen such words. Previously when entering the game, he only saw "Resist bad games and reject pirated games. Pay attention to self-protection, guard against fraud. Moderate gaming benefits the brain; excess harms health. Manage your time reasonably, enjoy a healthy life"... right?

Doesn’t really seem like they wrote the game is purely fiction and any resemblance is coincidental?

No, perhaps everyone just assumed such words would be there, hence almost skipped over?

Like who’s got nothing better to do than read the opening game update notice? Isn’t it always just the top right corner?

"So you mean my world also has subspace? Also has demons?"

[GM9134: As you’ve experienced, not every human civilization can clearly perceive this]

True, in the worlds Duanmu Huai visited, many were modern worlds similar to the one he came from, although some had a civilization level lower by decades, others higher by decades.

However, at this moment, suddenly a long string of chat flies quickly before Duanmu Huai’s eyes.

[GM8532: Hahaha, I won!]

[GM4651: I lost! Are there really people like this? Are all our users like that?]

[GM7411: Gambling loss accepted! Pay up, pay up!] 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

[GM3120: This is unfair! I’m going to complain to Nimufu mom!]

[GM8532: All you know is complain! What else can you do besides that? Why don’t you go with the black cat mom......]

[GM9134 has initiated group mute mode]

[GM9134: Very sorry, for making you laugh at us]

"........This game has so many GMs?"

Duanmu Huai looked puzzled at the flying records and couldn’t help but complain.

[GM9134: Since you are the first user after the system launch, we are all learning how to serve every user with you as the center of focus...]

"No wonder the person who handles my complaints is different every time."

Duanmu Huai wasn’t curious about this before, the GM number changed every time he complained. Initially, Duanmu Huai didn’t find it strange, but later thought it was quite odd. It seems like only he uses this system, why are there so many GMs, does this mean he is an inner tester?

But this group of GMs seems too carefree, are they not afraid of being fired? From their previous chats, could it be that this system is a family business?

Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway.

After all, by now, Duanmu Huai is already quite accomplished with divine power completion, and the system is more like an online store where he can exchange items using divine power. Even if the system disappears, Duanmu Huai won’t lose his strength.

[GM9134: Subsequently, I will send a gift including system update and improvement instructions as well as the coordinates of your home planet... Sorry to bother you]

"No worries."

Duanmu Huai glanced aside, seeing the Tribunal Warship flying toward him. So he also opened the system and clicked on the mail (this feature was originally regarded as useless by Duanmu Huai, after all, he didn’t have any friends in this system). Quickly, several gifts popped up inside, including some store exchange points and a set of top-level power armor and weapon forging system. Duanmu Huai can inject his divine power into it to obtain a set of soul-bound equipment. Of course, he can choose to use it himself or give it to others.

Next was a detailed system update. Having experienced pitfalls that led to previously crossing dimensions, this time Duanmu Huai meticulously read every word from start to finish.

But to Duanmu Huai’s surprise, there’s no significant improvement in this system upgrade, only two new functions. One is the Judge’s designation function, meaning Duanmu Huai can create several independent subsystems through the system so others can also become judges.

However, this process is limited, and unlike Duanmu Huai, the holders of these subsystems have limited functionalities at first. Exchanging ordinary items is no problem, but for high-end items, it requires Duanmu Huai’s approval, unlike him who can inject divine power and directly exchange it.

Of course, if the other party reaches a sufficient level, or Duanmu Huai determines they’re ready, the subsystem can be upgraded.

Simply put, this makes Duanmu Huai feel a bit like a franchise agent for this system...

Additionally, there’s a store upgrade. Simply put, Duanmu Huai can list items he doesn’t need in the store, allowing others to exchange them with divine power or barter — after all, what he doesn’t want might be a treasure in someone else’s eyes.

Well, now Duanmu Huai understands where the clutter in his store came from that demands money.

Thinking he’ll also become one of them in the future, he feels... rather excited?

At this time, the flagship also stopped beside Duanmu Huai, then the airlock opened, and Duanmu Huai turned and flew in. After decompression, he stretched and walked to the bridge.

"Uncle! Are you okay?"

"Hmm, I’m fine."

Duanmu Huai looked at Aikute, nodded, then glanced to the side, where Ogis, Ann, Mary, and Hei Chuan Chi Yin were all present.

"What’s next for us, Mr. Knight?"

Ann stared curiously at Duanmu Huai, asking.

"Hmm, next we will conduct a massive cleanse of the subspace, completely eliminating the filth inside, monitoring dominions elsewhere, and warning of the swarm invasion signs. Also......"

While stroking the little head of Ogis, who climbed onto him like a cat, Duanmu Huai spoke about a plethora of tasks. Reality isn’t a game, it’s not like after THE END, it’s about rolling credits or repeating dailies. Life goes on, tasks need doing, like police work isn’t done after solving one big case, nor doctors being able to go home for New Year after saving a critical patient.

That doesn’t happen.

Though taking a break occasionally is possible.

After rattling off a bunch, Duanmu Huai looked at the girls again.

"Of course, there are still plenty of tasks to do, but they are not urgent. We have more important things to do."

"More important things? What are they?"

For Duanmu Huai’s words, the others weren’t surprised. Although the subspace evil god Chapter might be closed for him, it was due to his in-game experience. For others, these subspace evil gods were no different from those evil entities trying to destroy humanity they once fought against.

Maybe even more twisted?

"I’ll take you guys to a place."

Duanmu Huai chuckled, waving his hand.

"Order the entire fleet to gather, I plan to go home and take a look."

Going home in glory, what’s the point of not doing it? Duanmu Huai recalls his world discussing whether humans are the only life forms in this universe.

Now he can provide them an answer.

Even if that’s not the case now, it will be in the future!
