Chapter 73

There's no need to describe the subsequent entanglements in detail...

Hong Qingsong's hired men were quite capable and worked hard, but unfortunately, they encountered Dugu Fu.

They might not know about Dugu Fu, but when it came to Tian Di Gu Hong, Dugu Fu's main character, there was absolutely no one present who didn't know!

Was Tian Di Gu Hong that famous?

Not necessarily in other worlds, but in the Death God Space... this name still held several unbreakable records, visible on the world rankings—

Over a hundred battles, with not a single defeat! He only killed others, and no one had ever killed him;

The fastest completion record! In just three minutes, he found and eliminated ten players; it's worth noting that this wasn't like today, where people just stayed in one place and waited to be found;

And the record for the most consecutive kills! In the game, he killed over a thousand players without dying, completing a thousand-kill streak!

...

As mentioned before, this was a place Dugu Fu liked to visit. The enemies were strong, but compared to him, they were just a bunch of amateurs.

After seeing off the boss lady and Guo Xingxing, with no more worries, the numerous enemies in front of him were just "marking their own heads for sale" in Dugu Fu's eyes. It didn't take long for him to lead them to the rooftop.

Just as they thought they had cornered him and he was out of options... the rooftop swimming pool suddenly leaked, and the surging flood swept them into the elevator shaft.

==========

After sweeping away all the enemies and completing the level, Dugu Fu didn't log out immediately.

He couldn't just log out like that.

Of course, it wasn't for the reason the enemies thought, that he was hiding from disaster in this world. If he logged out like that, the guy monitoring the online population database would definitely notice immediately. If that guy noticed, Hong Qingsong would also notice, and he would certainly become more vigilant...

Fangdang Buji thought his cheating methods were very sophisticated, but Dugu Fu noticed as soon as he logged in. He even guessed that the system key this guy had was provided by Hong Qingsong.

As mentioned before, this was a very special world.

In this world, it was basically impossible to crack the system core with ordinary technical means, except for a few individuals. Fangdang Buji was clearly not one of them. Others would need a system key, which was only held by a few power agencies like the military, research institutes, and the parliament.

However, it wasn't just about waiting for the right opportunity to slip through undetected; he had many other things to do.

Again, this was a very special world, one that would have a significant impact on his present and future.

If it weren't for the fatso being so despicable, Dugu Fu might even thank him; this Death God invitation was truly a great help!

==========

After a full hour, he completed all his preparations. Erasing all traces, he used the system backend to swap his name with an NPC's name, then confirmed the level completion.

Yes, he could do this!

Swapping names, modifying system data, doing whatever he wanted. If he wished, the enemies would never have discovered him from the start; he could kill without ever facing them.

Directly reading data from the system database, with names and appearances available, and infinite-range death designs, it was like divine punishment!

But he couldn't do that. First, such reckless actions would alert the system monitoring; second, it would tip off Hong Qingsong, making him more vigilant.

To strike decisively and leave no lingering issues, he had to follow the routine and engage the enemies, hiding his shocking methods until the end...

==========

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Explosions lit up the hillside by the river. The flames reflected in the flowing river, tearing through the night sky, and the explosions and screams shattered the silence of the night.

Occasionally, the sound of gunfire could be heard.

The battle in Lingling City was still ongoing...

After confirming the level completion, Dugu Fu appeared in his room, hearing the sounds outside, he sighed.

But mostly, he felt relieved...

Bathed in the light of the explosions and the waning moon, he surveyed his house. The once tidy and clean home was now a pile of ruins, with the roof collapsed and the walls shattered, completely destroyed by heavy artillery.

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and smoke.

Not just his house, standing in the ruins and looking around, a row of houses had all collapsed.

Fortunately, he had taken the boss lady and Guo Xingxing into the Death God Space; this place was truly dangerous! Dugu Fu pulled his head back.

However, a place that had already been destroyed wouldn't be destroyed again, so it should be safe for the moment. Calming down, he found a safe and hidden corner and took out the reward from his Death God Space trip—the iPhone 108.

Yes, the reward for completing the Death God Space was the key item in the game—the [Death God Phone].

The battery was always full, the signal always at maximum, and it never required any charges, whether 18G or 19G!

Opening the contact list, Dugu Fu chose one of the two remaining numbers and dialed.

"Hello, hello, Xiao Fu, are you okay?" The call connected instantly, and the boss lady asked anxiously, "Why haven't you contacted us for so long?"

The Death God Phone, the fighter jet of phones! With it, he could call anyone anytime, ignoring distance and world barriers.

For players, this was just the materialization of chat channels and auxiliary communication software in the game. But for NPCs, it was simply powerful!

"I was too busy to find the time." Dugu Fu scratched his head.

"Xingxing and I were so worried, afraid that you..." Her words were cut off, and then a clear and pleasant voice sounded: "Dugu Fu, too busy? Too busy to even make a call? Xingxing and I almost went out to look for you."

He could faintly hear her heavy breathing, imagining Guo Xingxing glaring at the phone with a pout.

A strange feeling welled up in his heart. It felt good to be missed... Dugu Fu was momentarily choked up.

What did men fight and struggle for outside? Nothing more than a cup of hot tea, a greeting, and a kiss when they returned home.

This was something he had read in a book, and he had never understood it before, but at this moment, he finally understood. "I was wrong. I really was wrong. From now on, I'll call you as soon as possible."

Guo Xingxing huffed, "That's better."

"What are you doing now?"

"I'm reading, and Wei Jie is playing games. There's so much, I don't know how many lifetimes it will take to finish reading and playing."

"Don't worry, take your time. Even if you come back, you can still read and play through the phone."

"What? What? What did you say? You can use the phone? Why didn't you say so earlier!" Guo Xingxing shouted.

The boss lady's voice suddenly sounded, "But, Xiao Fu, how did you know about everything here?"

"This is... my secret. Wei Jie, Xingxing, do you really want to know?"

"Um."

"Yes."

"Marry me, and I'll tell you."

"Xiao Fu, you're at it again."

"Go! Die!"

...

Chattering on, Dugu Fu almost forgot about time and danger until a sudden cry for help nearby brought him back to reality.
