Chapter 566 - 219: Start with a Dragon, Evolve by Devouring

"Huh?"

In the Dinosaur Era, Shen Fei was utterly stunned as Number 0 and Xiaohong grabbed a strip of meat and shoved it into his mouth. He saw that after swallowing the strip of meat, his body had immediately started to change.

Previously, upon arriving in this Dinosaur Era, everyone in his party had reverted to the original appearances of their Version 4.6 bloodlines. Xiaohong revealed her Succubus form, Number 0 revealed its robot form, and Black Tortoise had reverted to its most primal, ferocious form. Only Shen Fei, who had chosen the Human Race bloodline in Version 4.6, had maintained his human appearance.

But he never expected that now, after eating a strip of meat from the Dinosaur Era, his own body would actually start to change. Under Shen Fei’s astonished gaze, as the strip of meat was digested, his skin began to harden, and his limbs and muscles started transforming in an inhuman direction.

If not for his personal panel automatically opening as his body changed, its screen scrolling with lines of text, he might have cried out in alarm at such a bizarre transformation. But even with the explanation on his personal panel, the sight of his body transforming in a way he had never anticipated still left Shen Fei completely flustered.

SWISH!

SWISH!

SWISH!

Shen Fei watched as his own hands rapidly turned into a pair of claws, while the other parts of his body were also rapidly transforming. However, although his body was changing quickly, he didn’t feel the slightest bit of pain. He observed the metamorphosis in shock, his gaze fixed intently on the personal panel in front of him. At the same time, he saw that the bodies of Number 0 and Xiaohong beside him were undergoing the same transformation.

[DING!]

[Digitized lifeform has digested material from a special historical era!]

[DING!]

[Special Dinosaur Era, version update accelerating...]

[DING!]

[BUG...., BUG....]

[DING!]

[Fixing! Fixing!]

[DING!]

[Bug fixed. Version 4.0 lifeforms are permitted to appear in Version 2.0...]

[DING!]

[Manifesting appearance of Version 4.0 lifeforms to conform with Version 2.0...]

[DING!]

[Detected Version 4.0 lifeform carrying a special mission. Updating relevant mission requirements...]

[DING!]

[Dinosaur Era crisis detected. Bug point detected. Adding punitive mission!]

[DING!]

[Anomaly! Anomaly! Fixing to....]

[DING....]

Under Shen Fei’s astonished gaze, a flood of text scrolled from the personal panel that had opened automatically, completely beyond his control. He saw that along with the text, countless phantoms of black spades appeared near the personal panel. Clearly, the so-called "BUG fix" mentioned in the text was an effect of the Black Spade A. The effects of the three Black Spade As he had used in succession were still active at this very moment.

"Holy shit??"

I’ve really come to the Dinosaur Era!? And this Dinosaur Era is really Version 2.0?

From the information revealed in the text, Shen Fei confirmed that he had truly traveled back tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years, to the Dinosaur Era. What shocked him, moreover, was that this Dinosaur Era was the so-called Version 2.0. And clearly, as a human, he was a Version 4.0 lifeform.

Looking at the displayed version information, Shen Fei couldn’t help but recall something someone had mentioned before: "Blue Star Version 1.0 was the appearance of organic life, like paramecia and so on! Version 2.0 was the appearance of dinosaurs! Version 3.0 was the appearance of primate life—humans! Version 4.0 was the apocalypse, when game abilities began to be inherited..."

Now, having truly seen the so-called Dinosaur Era version on the panel, Shen Fei was certain that the Dinosaur Era from hundreds of millions of years ago was Version 2.0. The information about the other versions might not be correct, but the dinosaur version was definitely Version 2.0.

So, the Red Heart A brought me directly to the Dinosaur Era, to this Version 2.0? Was it so I could observe the Dinosaur Era’s Versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, all the way to 2.9, and maybe even Version 3.0? To then see the so-called version update information for myself? And then witness the so-called ultimate goal with my own eyes?

He had no time to deal with what his body had become, the text appearing above his head, or the new mission that had scrolled onto his automatically opened mission panel. In Shen Fei’s mind, one thought after another surfaced. He knew full well that he had been brought to this Version 2.0 Dinosaur Era because he wanted to know the ultimate goal of the Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses, which was why he had used the Red Heart A’s [Wishful Thinking] ability to be teleported here.

Now, with the appearance of the version information and the new mission, he couldn’t help but wonder how these current changes related to his ultimate goal.

Could it be that the ultimate goal of the Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses is related to the versions? Since special rules are blocking the specific information, even the Red Heart A couldn’t just show it to me? So, it brought me directly to the Version 2.0 Dinosaur Era to let me see for myself? To personally witness the so-called version updates and then see the so-called ultimate goal?

The text on his personal panel made many things click into place for Shen Fei in an instant.

If the Version 2.0 update and the Version 4.0 update are the same...
