Chapter 512 The Girl's Purpose
Chapter 512 The Girl's Purpose
Chen You was suspended in mid-air, panting heavily.
The golden greatsword in his hand turned into specks of yellow sand and vanished with the wind.
"That's it?" Chen You looked down at the ravaged land below and couldn't help but complain, "It's such a waste to fight a boss in real life, not even a single copper coin drops."
As soon as he finished speaking, the backlash from the "Burning Blood and Burning Heaven Technique" combined with the emptiness caused by the loss of earth vein energy surged into his heart at the same time.
Chen You's vision went black, and his body fell straight down.
"Catch him!"
In the underground command center of the Qinling Mountains, Li Guoan suddenly stood up and roared hoarsely.
On the city wall, several figures soared into the sky.
Lin Miao caught Chen You as he fell, and they landed steadily on the ground.
"Captain Chen, you've done a great job." Lin Miao looked at Chen You, who was pale but still breathing, in her arms and grinned.
Chen You barely opened his eyes and forced a smile: "Is this considered a work-related injury? Remember to have Director Li reimburse my medical expenses..."
After saying that, his head lolled to the side and he fainted.
There was a deathly silence in the command center for a full three seconds.
Then, a burst of cheers erupted, as if the roof had been blown off.
Zhang Yunhai slumped into a chair, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Sun Feng stared at the energy source on the screen, which had completely disappeared, and let out a long breath.
The United Nations conference hall was completely silent.
Representatives from all countries stared at the sword light on the big screen that shattered the gods, speechless for a long time.
Just when the world thought the crisis was over.
The piercing alarm blared once again in the Qinling underground command center.
The red warning lights bathed the entire hall in a blood-red hue.
"What's going on!" Li Guoan asked sternly.
Sun Feng's fingers danced across the keyboard as he stared intently at the screen: "Chief! That pink vortex over North America... it's disappeared!"
"Disappeared? The descent failed?" Zhang Yunhai was stunned.
"It didn't disappear!" Sun Feng's voice trembled with disbelief. "It's a spatial jump! It...it's above us!"
The images on the big screen switched instantly.
Above the Qinling Mountains.
The dark purple vortex that originally belonged to Yoranus, which was slowly closing, suddenly began to twist violently.
Immediately afterwards, a striking shade of pink, like paint poured into water, quickly turned the entire vortex into Barbie pink.
The violent energy fluctuations were ten times more terrifying than when Yoranus descended.
A faint, sweet strawberry scent even filled the air.
Chen You, who had just been placed on a stretcher by Lin Miao, was abruptly awakened by this strange fluctuation.
He opened his eyes and stared at the enormous, sickeningly pink vortex in the sky, his mind going blank.
"Again?" Chen You blurted out.
Lin Miao gripped her battle sword tightly, standing in front of Chen You: "Still want to fight?"
"Fuck you." Chen You rolled his eyes. "I can't even kill a chicken right now."
He had a very ominous premonition.
He was all too familiar with the feeling of that pink vortex.
"All units on alert! Anti-aircraft fire locked on!" Li Guoan's order was broadcast throughout the entire Baiyujing base.
At the center of the vortex, the pink light grew stronger and stronger.
There was no thunder, no gale, and no earth-shattering pressure like when Uranus descended.
Only a very soft pink beam of light, like a spotlight on a stage, shone precisely ten meters in front of Chen You.
Within the pillar of light, a figure slowly descended.
Everyone held their breath.
The light dissipated.
The one standing there was neither a blue-faced, fanged monster nor a god clad in heavy armor.
It was a girl.
She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a silver, tight-fitting combat suit with a strong cyberpunk style.
She had long pink hair tied in pigtails, and a pair of high-tech, semi-transparent goggles perched on her nose.
She was holding a lollipop in her hand.
The entire room fell silent.
The Dragon Scale team members looked at each other, unsure of where to strike with their knives.
Inside the command center, Li Guoan's brows were furrowed.
The girl took off her goggles, revealing a pair of exaggeratedly large, wine-red eyes.
She looked around, her gaze sweeping over the Dragon Scale team members before finally settling on Chen You, who was lying on a stretcher.
"Ha!" The girl's eyes lit up, and she stomped her foot.
She ran up to Chen You in her little leather boots, bent down, and carefully examined his pale face.
A strong strawberry aroma wafts over.
"You're Chen You?" The girl bit into her lollipop, her voice as clear and melodious as a lark's.
Chen You swallowed.
Although I already guessed it, I still asked, "Who are you?"
"Oh dear, you don't recognize me anymore?" The girl stuck out a finger and poked Chen You's chest.
The fingertips felt a real touch, even a hint of warmth.
Chen You gasped.
He was 100% certain that this was not a holographic projection, but a physical entity.
"I'm the 'Invincible Beautiful Girl'!" the girl said confidently, hands on her hips.
"One second he said he wanted to cultivate with me, the next second he turned his back on me? What a scumbag!"
These words were spoken.
The way the Dragon Scale team members looked at Chen You instantly changed.
Lin Miao's lips twitched twice. She silently put away her battle sword, took two steps to the side, and gave him an expression that said, "I don't know this freak."
Chen You lay on the stretcher, feeling utterly exhausted.
"Big sister," Chen You said weakly, "you crossed dimensions all this way just to cultivate with me?"
The pink-haired girl blinked her large, wine-red eyes and nodded matter-of-factly, "Yes."
She extended her right hand, which was covered by a half-silver glove, and drew several holographic data streams in the air: "Data interaction, underlying logic docking, core code exchange."
"I've checked your Earth's cultural dictionary, and the term 'dual cultivation' best describes this behavior. Am I using the wrong term?"
The entire room fell silent.
The voice of Professor Pan Yu, a social relations expert, came through the earpiece with a sigh of relief: "Chen You, stay calm."
"The other party is a highly advanced mechanical or digital life form. The 'dual cultivation' she mentioned refers to data transmission at the physical level, not reproductive behavior in the biological sense."
"Thank you, Professor Pan. I didn't even think of it that way until you explained," Chen You thought to himself, rolling his eyes.
He braced himself against the edge of the stretcher and struggled to sit up: "Okay, data exchange."
"But shouldn't we get to know each other a little first? I need to prepare myself mentally."
The girl casually pressed a button in the air, and a futuristic floating seat appeared out of thin air.
She sat down casually, crossed her legs, and her little leather boots swayed back and forth.
"Let's get to know each other again," the girl said in a clear voice. "My name is Zero."
"From 'Yang'"
As she finished speaking, the pink light behind her suddenly changed.
A vast holographic projection of a starry sea suddenly appeared in the sky above the Qinling ruins.
