Global Game: I Have Portable Store-Chapter 259 - 258: Mistaken Advancement
Turn the cylinder.
Su Changxing raised his pistol and fired a shot at Tao Yi’s forehead and chest, wanting to test if her abilities had any limits.
Tao Yi casually swatted Zhu Wenwu away, her body emitting a burst of green light, and the bullets passed through her.
"Tao Yi" said with a hint of anger in her expression: "These things are useless against me. You all are just ants, waiting obediently for death."
"Bang bang bang~"
Su Changxing ignored her and continued to fire three more bullets, which still passed through her body, narrowly evaded.
He keenly noticed that the bullets slowed down as they passed through her body, as if encountering some resistance.
"Tao Yi" flashed a sharp look in her eyes and waved her hand; green eerie light rose from a nearby corpse, quickly forming a figure identical to the corpse on the ground, except with a fierce expression and lacking the lower body.
This was evidently an Evil Spirit.
But isn’t this ability a bit too exaggerated?
The Evil Spirit’s eyes were full of hatred as it rushed towards Su Changxing, its fingers turning into slender claws.
"Tao Yi" didn’t plan to do it herself; she controlled the Evil Spirit, a convenient and safe option.
As the Evil Spirit flew towards him, Su Changxing fired a shot at it with his revolver, shattering half of its body, but it didn’t stop, still charging at him.
This Evil Spirit couldn’t completely resist physical attacks, but it had very high resistance.
Su Changxing raised his Steel Saber and slashed sideways, his blade cutting into the Evil Spirit’s body without dispersing it, instead being clawed by the Evil Spirit.
Three bloody marks appeared on his arm, with layered depth, revealing thread-like flesh.
Su Changxing swung another slash at the remaining portion of the Evil Spirit, dissipating its eerie light with the blade edge.
Meanwhile.
He noticed similar eerie lights appearing on other Hunter corpses in the corridor, and nearby corpses had already formed Evil Spirits pouncing towards the crowd.
The combat power of these Evil Spirits was not to be underestimated, each comparable to a powerful Tier Nine Extraordinary, and could even harm Su Changxing.
There were at least twenty Hunter corpses on this level; they might face twenty Evil Spirits simultaneously.
The situation worsened; the blood in the air began to flow again, converging toward the "Doctor," re-manifesting his limbs.
"Tao Yi" surrounded by green eerie light, formed vague humanoid figures revolving around her, said to Su Changxing:
"You all stand no chance. Choose to submit to me now, and you have a chance to survive, haha, I assure you."
She gave Su Changxing an appraising look, appearing high and mighty, mainly addressing Su Changxing, sensing that he was close to advancing to a High Ability User.
This was quite valuable.
Su Changxing didn’t speak, retreated, and when he opened his eyes to survey the surroundings, three Evil Spirits had already charged into the crowd, and three others were flying in from the other corridor end.
This moment forced him to make a decision, whether to advance!
He had the conditions to advance, previously extracting heretic Matrix through the store, forming the position of Tier Eight, Deceiver.
But this position seemed strange, making him hesitate, hoping to find another good and normal position through different routes.
However, now it seemed there was no opportunity.
Facing "Tao Yi," he had no chance of victory; his attacks couldn’t harm "Tao Yi," akin to trying to hit a bird in the sky with a stick from the ground.
Advancing was his breakthrough point.
In a moment.
He simulated hundreds of times, finding advancing was the only path he could take, a route ensuring survival for him and the others.
He actually had ways to survive alone, with a fairly high success rate, but it meant abandoning the others, leaving alone.
It might have been the most rational choice, but Su Changxing might not be that rational, as he had resolved to take the remaining people out here.
Since he brought these people here, it wouldn’t make sense to leave alone.
[Choose Advancement Method]
[Deceiver, Tier Eight, Upper Rank (Incompleteness)]
[Guidance in Progress]
[Database shows no similar positions]
[Warning Error]
[Warning: This position has logical flaws, advised against advancing with it]
[Continue?]
[Conduct temporary auxiliary adjustment, changing guidance plan, increasing advancement failure probability]
[Current failure probability at 66.6%]
[Continue?]
[Confirm to continue]
The system of the Doomsday Game seemed to be attempting to block his advancement based on this foundation, but he had already decided, with no room to retreat.
[Confirm advancement condition met]
[Confirm position precondition met]
[Estimated compatibility with the position of "Deceiver" is high; advancement success rate increased to 44.4%]
Hmm, is the compatibility actually that high?
This scenario was wholly unexpected by Su Changxing.
How was compatibility calculated? How could a forthright person like him have high compatibility with a position like "Deceiver?"
Perhaps······ "Deceiver" might differ from its literal meaning.
Advancing wasn’t as tedious as one imagined.
Su Changxing felt countless incomplete cards flying before him, each with various doodles—people, animals, some odd things, and some blank cards.
In a vague state, he saw his sleeping self wearing a black robe, surrounded by numerous flying cards.
"That kid is advancing?"
The head revealed an astonished expression as if witnessing an unprecedented event: "Isn’t this courting death?"
Advancing wasn’t trivial, let alone in such an environment, and it required considerable time.
"That’s impossible!"
The head sensed the Extraordinary Power within Su Changxing rapidly transforming in an unbelievable manner, giving an unreal feel, akin to watching a turtle rapidly sprinting forward.
This defied the norms of the Extraordinary System.
"Tao Yi" frowned as well, sensing the abnormal change in Su Changxing, immediately waving her hand to direct multiple Evil Spirits to rush at him.
Frozen on the spot, Su Changxing remained unmoving, aware of the external happenings but lacking the capacity to respond.
A flood of cards filled his mind—countless strange knowledge and fragmented experiences.
Simply put, scenarios of various tricks and deceit, with men, women, the elderly, children portrayed.
Some clad in dark Iron Armor, others with slave headscarves.
A blue-skinned child darting through the street discreetly reaching into someone’s pocket, retrieving a Copper Coin.
A white robed elder, seeming wise like an Immortal, seated on a high stage, preaching the fundamentals of moral ethics to the audience below.
