Chapter 22: Historical Scourge

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Full of anticipation, Feng Qi reached out and took the rune crystal out of the metal box.

This Twilight Wolf Rune Crystal was grayish-white and transparent. There were specks of blue starlight inside, and its surface was covered in a hazy gray halo. Before the calamity, it would definitely be an extremely precious collection.

He had already checked the relevant information on how to use the rune crystal.

The warriors of those domain combat teams would generally hand the rune crystals to the alchemists. They would be shattered and refined them to obtain pure Spiritual Qi liquid to be drunk.

This was because the energy in the rune crystals were strange and not necessarily beneficial to humans.

For example, the rune crystals of the domain creature, the Heavenly Chief Scorpion, contained poisonous energy. This poison was harmless to the Heavenly Chief Scorpion, but it was fatal to humans. If one ate it directly, their body would fester and die within a few seconds.

Therefore, some rune crystals were extremely harmful to consume directly. Impotency and premature ejaculation were trivial matters. One might even lose their life.

The rune crystal in his hand was a harmless rune crystal, so there was no need to worry about eating it directly.

Moreover, he felt that his body had already mutated. He could even absorb the abilities of domain creatures. A rune crystal was nothing.

At this thought he threw the rune crystal in his hand into his mouth.

Crunch!

“Ah~ It’s so hard!”

After losing its host, the hardness of the rune crystal had weakened. It was still within Feng Qi’s acceptable range.

As he chewed, the rune crystal shattered, and surging energy flowed down his throat and into his stomach. Soon, he felt a strong sense of fullness. At the same time, he could clearly sense a large amount of Spiritual Qi running amok in his body. If the energy continued to increase, he might explode and die.

Fortunately, his mutated body quickly gave feedback. His body began to quickly absorb energy, and the energy progress bar on the interface jumped.

In less than 10 minutes, the energy in his body was completely absorbed, and the energy progress bar finally reached the full value.

[Energy replenishment complete. Current energy: 148.27%.]

Although he had finished replenishing his energy, Feng Qi could not guarantee that he would be able to enter the dream. Therefore, he decided to sleep now and test his guess.

Hence, he, who was prepared to go out just now, decisively lay back down under the blanket.

After lying down for less than five minutes, sleepiness swept over him…

…

When he opened her eyes, everything was so familiar.

Just as Feng Qi had thought, he had once again arrived in the world of the dream future.

Taking a deep breath, he was about to express the joy in his heart, but the stench that followed almost made him vomit.

“Cough, cough, cough. It still stinks so bad.” He looked down at his undead body in disdain.

[Tsk tsk tsk, how embarrassing!]

The narrator appeared at the right time and dealt another blow.

After coming back to his senses, Feng Qi bent down and grabbed the leg bone. He took a few steps forward and skillfully knocked the head of the “little cripple” who was about to stand up. Then, he headed straight east.

The goal this time was the same as before. It was still the Star City Shelter.

In addition to finding ways to earn money, he planned to see if Mu Qing’s future had changed because of his interaction with her. Finally, he would check Lin Ran’s future evaluation.

While traveling, he did not forget to increase his strength. The living dead and worms he encountered along the way all became his prefix milestone points and bloodline evolution points.

After realizing that he would need to replenish his energy to enter the dream in the future, he did not want to die so easily. Otherwise, the remaining two million points would not be enough for his spending.

If he entered the future dream once a day, it would take just two days to spend the two million points.

Therefore, he wanted to stay in the dream as long as possible.

He followed the familiar path and killed monsters to become stronger.

Now, be it strength, reflexes, or speed, he had greatly improved compared to when he first entered the dream.

When Feng Qi arrived at the stone tablet, his attributes changed again.

[Resilient (LV 1) – Normal Living Dead: Feng Qi]

Strength: Unranked

Prefix Title: Normal, Resilience LV1 (Muscle Toughness +1%)

Bloodline: Human (Beginner)

Bloodline Evolution Points: 113/1000 points

Prefix Title Milestone:

[Normal (Upgradeable)]:

Second milestone progress: 13%

[Resilience LV1] (Upgradeable): 83%

…

There was still a long way to go before his bloodline evolved, so Feng Qi’s plan did not change. He first went to check the database.

However, this time, he would not repeat the same mistake. He planned to leave the shelter before Little Black arrived.

After dripping blood in front of the stone tablet, the stone tablet slowly moved to the side, revealing the metal passage to the shelter.

Feng Qi walked in and headed straight for the database.

After coming to the center of the underground plaza and awakening the main control panel, he began to look through the information.

First, he entered Mu Qing’s name. After searching and filtering, detailed information about Mu Qing appeared.

[Mu Qing (Leader of human rebels)]:

Introduction: Originally a student of Star City Academy, she joined a domain combat team and became a warrior after graduation. However, during an investigation mission, she betrayed the team and personally killed the team leader. After that, she even recruited a large number of scavengers to establish the human rebel army “Dawn” and restarted the Rune Transformers Project to fight against humans.

Her hands were stained with a large amount of innocent blood. During this period, she led the rebels to slaughter several cities. Her sins were grave and she was despised by future generations.

Tag: Rune Transformers, Leader of Dawn, Human Traitor

Character: Brutal, cold-blooded, unscrupulous

…

After reading the introduction, he realized that he had not affected Mu Qing. In the end, Mu Qing still stood against humanity and became the world-destroying demon despised by the later generations.

He was a little disappointed with this result.

After closing Mu Qing’s introduction page, he entered the name “Lin Ran” and began filtering.

A moment later, relevant information about Lin Ran appeared.

In the photo, Lin Ran was wearing the uniform of the Tiger Soul Research Institute. He had dark circles under his eyes and was grinning foolishly.

[Lin Ran]:

Age at death: 103

Character Introduction: Once known as the most talented newcomer in Tiger Soul Research Institute. His theoretical knowledge was incomparably solid, and he had many outstanding contributions in the research of spells. He even established the “Seal Style” spell course. Later, he was transferred to the newly established Team Infinity of Tiger Soul Research Institute as its leader and try to study new cultivation techniques.

However, history had proven that Lin Ran only had talent in spell research. His research on cultivation techniques took a complete wrong turn and led the entire team astray. The few cultivation techniques he studied had many hidden dangers. After they were released, millions of people’s meridians were severed, resulting in adverse effects that slowed down the development of the entire human race. In the end, he died of depression because he felt guilty that he had never stepped into the field of cultivation techniques and spell research in his later years.

Historical achievements: S-grade Human Elite (canceled), Leader of Tiger Soul Team Infinity (canceled), elite member of Tiger Soul Research Institute (canceled), outstanding graduate of Winter Academy (canceled), creator of seal-style spells, creator of five-element symbiotic spells, new planner of Spell Trajectory 3.0…

Character evaluation: Historical Scourge

…

“Good lord, he caused the meridians of millions of people to be severed and was even evaluated as a historical scourge. More than half of his various achievements were canceled. It’s simply ridiculous!”

After reading the future’s evaluation of Lin Ran, he even wanted to applaud him.

Lin Ran’s lifetime achievements were really comparable to Wang Jinsheng, but they were in the opposite direction. One was a historic great, and the other was a historical scourge.

No, I have to think of a way to change Lin Ran’s path. I can’t let him go down the path of cultivation technique research. I have to make him determined to study spells. He cannot be half-hearted.

At this moment, Feng Qi had another goal in his heart. He felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

One was a world-destroying demon, and the other was a scourge of history. They were both people nailed to the pillar of shame in history. He didn’t understand why there were so many weirdos around him.

“D*mn it!”
