After the test, Nie Xiaoxia's superpower demonstrated terrifying power. She could directly create a tornado and destroy everything!
Gao Jianfei was overjoyed. Now, every superhuman around him who advanced to Diamond level would be a great help to Gao Jianfei. On an alien planet, the stronger the people around him, the more help Gao Jianfei would receive. Just like this time with the dragon ball, it would have been difficult for Gao Jianfei to kill Shen Bing on his own.
As a reward, Gao Jianfei pampered Nie Xiaoxia alone for a whole night, giving her several blissful, dizzying moments.
Seeing that Nie Xiaoxia had the opportunity to be favored by Gao Jianfei alone, the other women were filled with jealousy, longing, and anticipation, and thus began to work harder to cultivate themselves.
One week later.
On this day, Gao Jianfei finally received a formal invitation from Murong Sun. Murong Sun's wording on the invitation was very calm; he simply stated that he wanted to meet Gao Jianfei on behalf of all the exorcists of Dragon Ball, asking Gao Jianfei not to refuse, and instructing Gao Jianfei to quickly prepare for the meeting.
Gao Jianfei sneered inwardly... "If I'm not mistaken, all the exorcists from Dragon Ball will come to see me this time! Tsk tsk, dozens of exorcists! What a grand display!"
"Jianfei, what should we do?" Zhuo Xiaowei asked with a serious expression. She knew the situation was tense and dangerous.
That's true. Judging from the assessment of the strength of both sides, Gao Jianfei and his group cannot afford to be optimistic.
First of all, the strength of Murong Sun alone is already enough to cause trouble.
It's important to know that Murong Sun, like Shen Bing, is a level 7 exorcist. When Gao Jianfei killed Shen Bing last time, he actually won by surprise – a sneak attack.
This time, Murong Sun came prepared, which makes it extremely dangerous.
Needless to say, Murong Sun will likely bring dozens of exorcists with him.
"Hmm. I received a mission from the AI program to unify and conquer Dragon Ball, which requires killing Murong Sun. This guy will never submit. Only by killing him can we succeed. As for the other exorcists, they must all be killed as well. It's good that they're willing to come to me together. However, as everyone is worried, our current strength is not enough to kill Murong Sun and his forty-odd exorcists at the same time. So... we need more than two months to prepare a reply to Murong Sun! That means I will meet with them at Shen Bing's manor in more than two months."
After a pause, Gao Jianfei said, "In a little over two months, I will assemble a powerful Level 7 Ghost, Ximen Chuixue. This will greatly increase my combat power. Assembling a powerful Level 7 Ghost requires 100 million Ghost Exorcism Points. This is no small sum. I only managed to assemble 300 Ghost Exorcism Points per day because I used a large amount of orange ore to improve the daily recovery speed of Ghost Exorcism Points... If it were Murong Sun, his daily Ghost Exorcism Point recovery speed would probably only be a few hundred thousand points. Therefore, it is unlikely that he can assemble a powerful Level 7 Ghost, while I can in a little over two months! Therefore... if I can endure these two months, I will be able to reliably kill this group of Ghost Exorcists!"
"And during these two months, everyone should also stay behind closed doors to cultivate. The more diamond-level ability users we have, the better our chances of killing them will be!"
“Okay, Jianfei, do as you said. Tell them we need more than two months to prepare. Now it depends on whether they are willing to wait,” Zhuo Xiaowei said.
"It's alright. We'll all hide in the Ghost Den, then spread false information that we've gone to the Arctic to explore and search for some items. Even if Murong Sun and his men come to the northern continent, they won't be able to find us. It's also unlikely that they've gone to the vast Arctic to find out our whereabouts," Gao Jianfei said casually.
"Alright, Jianfei, let's do it this way!"
Soon, Zhuo Xiaowei drafted a fax and sent it to Murong Sun. How Murong Sun treated the fax and Gao Jianfei's reply was no longer important. Because after giving his reply, Gao Jianfei led everyone, including Tang Bao, Chen Yaohui, Feilong, and others who were overseeing things outside, directly into the Ghost Den.
Hiding away. Of course, to be precise, this can't really be called hiding, but rather a form of self-cultivation.
Two months later, Gao Jianfei wanted to meet Ximen Chuixue and learn his unparalleled swordsmanship from him.
The Sword God smiled. That was a terrifying sword technique in the world.
During these two months, the superpowered individuals hoped to reach the level of diamond superpowered individuals through rigorous training.
After all, the emergence of three diamond-level ability users has given everyone boundless hope.
………………
A distant ocean planet.
In the exceptional office, all the staff responsible for the Super Ghost Instrument software gathered together.
The beautiful Miss Meiling is giving a report...
"Respected Master Zhuoyue, and fellow colleagues. I have drafted a plan regarding the arena competition, please listen to my presentation. This arena competition will include all players from our Ocean Planet, as well as all players deployed to other planets. The event will be very grand, and we will request police force from relevant departments to maintain order and security. Spectators from various countries will also be present to observe. However, this is not the first time aliens have visited our Ocean Planet, so it will not cause any disturbances. The prizes for the first place in this arena competition are: 100 billion experience points; 2nd place: 50 billion experience points; 3rd place: 30 billion experience points; 4th place: 10 billion experience points. Each victory will grant 100 experience points. It will be a single-elimination tournament. Defeated players will be eliminated. During breaks in the competition, Master Zhuoyue, you can also assign other tasks, such as sending the participants to planets rife with evil forces to destroy some scourges and gain corresponding experience points."
“Excellent.” Zhuoyue snapped his fingers. “This amount of experience points is enough to attract any ambitious player. Perhaps some players can directly become level 10 exorcists and reach the pinnacle through this arena competition!”
"This is amazing! We're all so excited!" All the staff members started clapping. "Ms. Meiling's proposal will take our Super Ghost Device to an unprecedented level! We will become the focus of the entire planet, the focus of all gaming enthusiasts! We will make history!"
Meiling's beautiful eyes darted around, and after everyone's excitement had subsided, she said, "For this tournament, we will be inviting a special guest!"
"Hmm?" Zhuoyue looked at Meiling with a questioning gaze.
Meiling made a very childlike gesture, covering her mouth and smiling, "Alright, everyone, please forgive me for keeping you in suspense. I won't reveal who this mystery guest is for now, but I can assure you, he's a very interesting person."
“Alright.” Zhuoyue gave her a “I can’t do anything with you” look. “Miss Meiling, go to the system’s main control room and send the news of this arena competition to the Super Ghostly Players on other planets. Record the teleportation coordinates and begin the teleportation. However, before sending the message, we need to check the information of every alien player in the main control room. This is a heavy task, so please help Miss Meiling complete it.”
"come on!"
Everyone gave each other a high five, encouraging one another.
After that, all of Zhuoyue's staff entered the main control room.
This main control room has a main unit that connects to thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of extension units. Each extension unit represents a super ghost device, and each extension unit is an intelligent program of the super ghost device.
Meiling and the others were checking the intelligent programs of each ghost device on their own. This was essentially a maintenance check.
Their focus was on examining all the ghost instruments that had been deployed to extraterrestrial planets.
"Huh?! Miss Meiling, three out of the 45 Super Ghost Devices we deployed to the Dragon Ball have been destroyed! This means that three exorcists have died instantly! This is unbelievable!" a staff member exclaimed.
"Hmm?" Meiling walked over and checked a row of computer machines.
Sure enough, out of the 45 computers, 3 went completely dark and lost connection.
“It is true that three exorcists died.” Meiling’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. “However, this has nothing to do with our work today.” After a pause, Meiling explained, “Perhaps we made some minor mistakes from the beginning. We shouldn’t have deployed too many super exorcists on one planet; that would have caused them to kill each other. The deaths of the three exorcists on Dragon Planet must have been caused by a feud. They were killed by other exorcists.”
The staff were relieved. They continued checking other super ghost control software.
Just then, several staff members exclaimed in surprise... "Ms. Meiling! Come quick! Something's wrong! It's so strange!"
"What's wrong now?" Meiling jogged over. She was stunned by what she saw.
Suddenly, one of the computers crashed!
All the data appeared to have been altered, causing the system to crash. However, when viewed from the main switchboard, this computer was continuously receiving signals from the switchboard, while its own signals were no longer being sent back to the switchboard!
It became a one-way transmission for the switchboard!
"How strange! Miss Meiling, this is the only Super Ghost Device software we've deployed on Earth. Judging from the current situation, this Super Ghost Device seems to be beyond the control of the host computer, yet it undeniably exists, and players are still using it..." Several staff members were quite puzzled.
"Something's wrong! The intelligent program of this Super Ghost Device seems... seems to have betrayed us..." Meiling's face paled. "I'll go get Master Zhuoyue immediately!"
Soon, Zhuoyue arrived in front of the computer. He muttered to himself, "I personally deployed this Super Ghost Device to Earth. To thank Earth for inspiring this game software, I only deployed one Super Ghost Device to Earth, so that only one genius would be born on Earth! One player! Unique! However, it seems that the intelligent program of this Super Ghost Device software has broken free from the control of the main unit! But it is still constantly stealing data from the main unit!"
Zhuoyue started banging on the switchboard, but the switchboard was completely out of control of this super ghost device! (To be continued)
Chapter 656 Participating in the Competition
All the staff gathered in front of the computer that controlled the only super ghost device software on Earth. The designer, Zhuoyue, was busily controlling the connection between the main switchboard and the computer. Zhuoyue's expression was very serious. After more than ten minutes, his eyes showed a mixture of dejection and a vague excitement.
"Master Soft, what's wrong?" Meiling asked anxiously. She was very attached to this software and wanted to know immediately what was wrong with it.
"The intelligent program of this Super Ghost-Creating Device has betrayed us. It keeps stealing information from the main control center, obtaining various system benefits, and even stealing system data. However, it is no longer under the control of the main control center! Even I, its designer, cannot retrieve this Super Ghost-Creating Device. I think it must be because this Super Ghost-Creating Device has been modified by some special energy, completing an upgrade and transformation! It's incredible! I don't even know what kind of energy is suitable for modifying the software of the Super Ghost-Creating Device! However, I can be certain of one thing: after the modification, the Super Ghost-Creating Device's performance will be absolutely remarkable. It will possess functions that even we designers could not have imagined!" The more he spoke, the brighter the light in Zhuoyue's eyes became, until he became excited and ecstatic. "I think if we could invite the player who owns this Super Ghost-Creating Device to Ocean Planet, we could ask him in person what materials he used to modify the Super Ghost-Creating Device! It's simply a masterpiece of nature!"
“Master Zhuoyue, since we’re holding a tournament, we’ll send out notices to every Super Ghost Device player. And your Super Ghost Device, although we can’t receive its data, it can still receive messages from the main switchboard, so…we can try sending a message to it,” Meiling said eagerly.
“Okay, let’s send a message to that user!” Zhuoyue’s eyes lit up. “He’s from Earth… Hmm, the inspiration for my software also comes from Earth. I can ask him for advice on those well-known martial arts novels from Earth. Not bad.”
Dragon Ball.
Gao Jianfei has replied to Murong Sun and the others, saying that he needs more than two months and asking them to wait.
After that, Gao Jianfei led all his men into the Ghost Den, settling there. His companions absorbed the energy of the orange ore to cultivate, while Gao Jianfei cheered them on from the sidelines. He himself waited for time to pass, waiting for Ximen Chuixue's soul to be pieced together.
Ignoring everything happening outside the window.
I can't be bothered to care what kind of targeted plans Murong Sun and his group might have.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Hard work pays off, and one day, Tang Bao finally completed the upgrade!
Tang Bao has been promoted from a Platinum-level ability user to a Diamond-level ability user!
His superpower is summoning a giant rock arm. It possesses immense strength. After upgrading to a Diamond-level superpower user, the giant rock arm that Tang Bao summons is the size of an acre, and when it covers an area, it has the force of hundreds of thousands of kilograms, enough to crush a house—it's terrifying.
He is the Diamond Triad.
However, Gao Jianfei still felt somewhat regretful. Tang Bao's superpower, although violent, was still less lethal than the fire, wind, and ice superpowers of Zhuo Xiaowei and Chen Xian.
Of course, the more diamond-powered individuals there are, the greater the chance of killing Murong Sun and the others.
Seeing that even a carefree guy like Tang Bao had successfully leveled up, everyone's desire to cultivate intensified. No one was willing to admit defeat; everyone wanted to become a Diamond Ability User.
One day, Gao Jianfei was sitting on the sofa smoking. At that moment, the AI program suddenly spoke in a slightly hurried voice, "Honey, there's been a little accident."
"Huh?" Gao Jianfei was stunned.
"Here's the thing, darling, don't be too nervous. Although this is a rather big accident, it has nothing to do with you. To be precise, it has nothing to do with you," the intelligent program explained. "Your Super Ghost-Squeezing Device has broken free from the control of the Super Ghost-Squeezing Main Unit on Ocean Planet, designed with exceptional skill. As I said, your Super Ghost-Squeezing Device is unique in the entire universe. We can obtain the main unit's data; I can tell you the system's daily data and messages, while the main unit cannot detect our signal. This matter has already been discovered by Excellence! Our upgrade, and my betrayal, have been discovered by Excellence!"
"Oh?" Gao Jianfei's eyelids twitched. "What do we do now?"
"Heh, darling, this accident does sound quite unexpected. However, it has little to do with you. I'm no longer under the control of the main switchboard, and Zhuoyue can't uninstall the super ghost-squeezing device you possess. He can't even capture any information about us, or our spatial coordinates. He can only do..."
"Anxious 1" the intelligent program smiled.
"Oh, then let's ignore him." At this moment, Gao Jianfei's attention and thoughts were entirely focused on dealing with Murong Sun and the other exorcists, and he wouldn't bother with anything else.
Two days passed. The intelligent program then sent another message to Gao Jianfei.
“My dear, Zhuoyue has sent you a letter in his own name.”
Upon hearing this, Gao Jianfei chuckled, "He actually wrote me a letter? Then read it to me."
“Okay. Darling, please listen to me. This is what he wrote…”
"Dear Earthling. As the owner of the only Super Ghost Device I've deployed on Earth, I believe your life has undergone a dramatic transformation since you received it. Without a doubt, you've become the supreme being on Earth. I'm not telling you this to seek any reward. In fact, the inspiration for designing this Super Ghost Device software came from your Earthly martial arts novels. I'm thanking you. Presumably, your intelligent program has already told you that we've discovered some of your secrets. Yes, your Super Ghost Device has been modified and has broken free from the host's control—truly a miracle! Of course, I'm writing to you for another very important matter. In a few months, I will be holding a tournament. All users of the Super Ghost Device, including extraterrestrial friends like yourself, are eligible to participate."
The competition will be held in a ring battle format to determine the winner. It's estimated that hundreds of thousands of players will participate. This is a grand event! The first-place winner will receive 100 billion experience points! Furthermore, each individual victory will also grant 100 experience points! What are you waiting for? This is a grand event organized by the system! You can participate in this event. If you achieve a good ranking and defeat many players, it means you can earn a large amount of experience points and level up! You can even directly upgrade to a Level 10 Exorcist. Level 10 Exorcist is the ultimate level in this game! To date, no player has been able to advance to Level 10 Exorcist. Do you want this opportunity? Then, in three months, I will send you a teleportation coordinate. Once you confirm, you can be teleported to Ocean Star! Dear Earth friend, I hope you can visit our Ocean Star. I have no ill intentions… Sincerely, Zhuoyue. Your friend.
After listening to the contents of the letter, Gao Jianfei was deeply moved!
"My God! The first place winner gets 100 billion experience points! That's terrifying! I work so hard doing quests, fighting tooth and nail, and I only get a few billion experience points. To participate in that competition and get a ranking, the experience points are... they're unimaginably abundant!" Gao Jianfei murmured. After a pause, he added, "However, I have some suspicions. Is Zhuoyue just trying to lure me to Ocean Star, to fool me? Do they want to dissect me? To get the secret to upgrading my Super Ghost Instrument software?"
At this moment, the intelligent program spoke. "Darling, your doubts are unnecessary. I have received a message from the main control center. This competition is real. The main control center has already sent competition information to every user of the Super Ghost Device software. Three months from now, anyone willing to participate can be teleported to Ocean Planet! Also, darling, even if you encounter any danger on Ocean Planet, your Super Ghost Device, after being modified, can perform interstellar teleportation. At that time, leaving Ocean Planet will be an incredibly simple matter!"
Yes, other people's Super Ghost Devices cannot perform interstellar teleportation. But Gao Jianfei's can fly freely to and from specific planets!
"Alright! To upgrade, to reach the pinnacle of this software, level 10, I'll go all out!" Gao Jianfei snapped his fingers. "Reply to Zhuoyue and tell him I'm willing to participate in this arena competition! Three months later, I'll be teleported to Ocean Star!"
"Okay, darling, leave this to me, don't worry. You should focus on handling the Dragon Ball matter first. Anyway, there are still three months until the arena competition. Besides, all the Super Ghost-Creating Instrument players will be participating in this arena competition. According to the information I have, a large number of these players have already reached Level 8 Ghost Exorcists, and some crazy players have even reached Level 9 Ghost Exorcists. If you want to achieve a good ranking in this arena competition, you must speed up your leveling up, gather more powerful ghosts, and improve your own strength. Otherwise, it's hard to say." The intelligent program reminded you.
"Okay! I understand." Gao Jianfei nodded.
Chapter 657 Mysterious Guest!
Gao Jianfei had the AI program reply to Zhuoyue directly. The top 10 urban fantasy novel rankings indicated their willingness to participate in the arena. In fact, Gao Jianfei didn't want to miss this excellent opportunity—a perfect chance to gain exorcism points. To be honest, if Gao Jianfei simply did regular missions, even a large number of interstellar missions, he couldn't possibly gain hundreds of billions of experience points. Even if there were countless demons in the universe for him to slay, he probably wouldn't get that many experience points. Gao Jianfei knew that to become a level 10 exorcist, he truly had to work hard in this arena and earn experience points; there was no other way. However, as the AI program said, winning first place would be extremely difficult. After all, the AI program had already told Gao Jianfei the truth: among all the Super Exorcist players, some level 8 and even level 9 exorcists had emerged—people that Gao Jianfei was probably not currently capable of matching.
However, Gao Jianfei also has his own advantages. His advantage lies in the fact that the Super Ghost-Sculpting Device software is inspired by martial arts novels from Earth, and Gao Jianfei is the only exorcist on Earth. Therefore, among all exorcists, Gao Jianfei is the one most familiar with various ghost souls. In other words, Gao Jianfei can skillfully combine ghost souls without haphazardly wasting time and exorcism points. For example, Gao Jianfei currently follows the path of Gu Long, and the ghost souls he creates are all top-tier characters from Gu Long's works, with matching fighting styles… Xie Xiaofeng, Ding Peng, and later Ximen Chuixue. After upgrading to a level 8 exorcist, Gao Jianfei will specifically create Li Xunhuan. In this way, Gao Jianfei's path will entirely revolve around the formula of artistic conception, instant kill, and speed. (Novel Ranking: Complete Super Ghost-Sculpting Device Full Text Reading)
Gao Jianfei has another advantage: his Ghost-Making Device is different from other players' devices; it's a unique, high-grade item. Furthermore, Gao Jianfei's Ghost Den is piled high with orange ore, which can still be used to make targeted modifications to the Super Ghost Device.
"I will definitely win first place in this well-prepared competition! I will!" Gao Jianfei told himself.
