Chapter 35: Future Answers

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After returning to the dormitory, Feng Qi took a cold shower and lay down on the bed.

Since he couldn’t get an answer from Bai Fusheng, he decided to explore the dream world again and search for clues from the future.

But after closing his eyes for a moment, he opened them again.

His mind was filled with thoughts, making it impossible for him to fall asleep.

Therefore, he got out of bed and went to the fridge. He took out a few bottles of wine and gulped them down.

A moment later, flushed red, he finally felt sleepy.

In a daze, he fell onto the bed…

…

Opening his eyes, Feng Qi looked around expectantly.

The blood moon hung in the sky, and the ground was covered in bones.

This world had not become as wonderful as he had imagined. It was still quiet and cold, and not much had changed.

He had clearly put in so much effort, but the future was still the same. He was indignant.

The more he thought about it, the angrier Feng Qi became. He slapped the “little cripple” who had reached out to grab him to the ground and kicked him a few more times.

[He’s angry, he’s angry. Look, there’s a living dead here who’s become angry!]

“…”

“Long time no see, narrator,” Feng Qi greeted when he heard the familiar voice.

[Mm, I don’t miss you.]

“…”

After adjusting his emotions, he decided to continue working hard.

As long as he could enter the dream, he would have the chance to change the future and save humanity, so there was no need to be angry.

At this thought, he removed the leg bone of the “little cripple” and headed towards the Star City Shelter.

Along the way, he discovered that the living dead in the future dream were displaying obvious changes. Compared to the previous few times he entered the future dream, their physical strength had clearly increased.

Be it running speed or resistance, they had all improved significantly.

He couldn’t figure out the reason regarding this change, so he didn’t think too much about it. In short, only by entering the Star City database could he learn the historical changes of this timeline.

He was also looking forward to the key messages and last words left behind in his private email.

Due to some changes in the terrain along the way, including the location of the trees, Feng Qi had to search for a long time before he found the black stone tablet to enter Star City Shelter.

Compared to before, this black stone tablet had also changed.

The words “Star City Shelter”, which had once been blurry, became clear. One could vaguely see a silver-white metallic luster under the black color.

After dripping his blood, he cleared the authentication. The stone tablet moved to the right, revealing a rusty metal passageway.

He stepped into the passageway and headed straight for the database.

The underground plaza was much larger than before, and the database was still standing at the center of the plaza.

He stood still in front of the database and pressed the start button.

The screen in front of him lit up as a series of numbers flashed past. Then, a list of options appeared.

Now that he was proficient in using the database, he opened the search bar and entered his name first. Then, he screened and relevant information immediately appeared.

[Feng Qi (Cultivation Techniques Researcher)]:

Age at death: 26

Cause of death: Participation in special events, information is confidential.

Date of death: June 23, 2031.

Lifetime Achievements (Honor): Outstanding Graduate of Star City Academy, Modifier of cultivation exercises Version 2.0, A-grade Human Elite Medal, Outstanding Contribution to Human Development Award, Founder of Ferocious Tiger Fist, Founder of Body Hardening Technique.

Evaluation: His abilities shone brightly in his early years. When he was studying at Star City Academy, he was regarded as the future star of humanity along with Lin Ran. During this period, he developed the Ferocious Tiger Fist and Body Hardening Technique, making outstanding contributions to the development of human cultivation techniques. However, he did not produce any more results after that. Moreover, he developed mental problems and was in a state of paranoia and anxiety all day. It was really a shame for mankind. In the end, he was kicked out of the Tiger Soul Research Institute and died in a special incident.

Netizens comments:

Domain Meat Grinder: From a historical point of view, if Feng Qi could keep up his original momentum, he would definitely become a historical figure. Unfortunately, he died young. Before he died, he even had mental problems. Indeed, the heavens are jealous of geniuses.

Windrunner: I’ve checked the relevant historical materials. It’s said that Feng Qi had been persuading Lin Ran to give up on studying cultivation techniques and focus on studying spells. If Feng Qi hadn’t died so early, he might have been able to prevent a disaster that would affect all of humanity. There would have been another super genius in spells in history, or even a great person of a generation. What a pity.”

I knew it: If Feng Qi hadn’t died young, he might have been able to stop Mu Qing from becoming the Demon King. It was said that Mu Qing didn’t listen to anyone at that time and was only willing to listen to Feng Qi. I even suspected that it was a domain transcendent who assassinated Feng Qi and caused the subsequent series of disasters.

I Love to Drink Cola: I think Feng Qi’s talent has already run out. His achievements in his early years were indeed very outstanding, but it also hollowed out his inspiration. Therefore, because he couldn’t develop new cultivation techniques later on, the psychological difference was too great, resulting in his mental problems. At the bottom of it all, it’s because he’s too weak mentally.

I’m the Big Boss Behind the Scenes: I even suspect that Feng Qi had been possessed. His difference between before and after is too great. In the past, he shone so brightly and was simply a savior model. In the end, he quickly failed before he could completely shine and he wasn’t able to do anything in his future years. I suspect that this is the first real case in history of being possessed. It’s as famous as Wang Mang’s transmigration case.

…

In addition to the character evaluation, there were also comments from netizens in the Star City database.

After reading his detailed information, Feng Qi was a little confused.

Mentally ill? Me?

[Don’t doubt it. It’s you.]

“…”

He had no way of knowing if there were really mental problems with him in this timeline, so he decided to open his email to see what key information “he” had left for himself.

After entering the private mailbox code in the database, the mailbox page pops up.

He then entered a 12-digit password.

As the mailbox opened, messages appeared.

As he flipped through it, Feng Qi realized that he had completely treated his personal email as a diary.

It recorded a bunch of useless complaints and comments.

However, there was also some information that Feng Qi found very useful.

“As I can’t enter the future dream anymore, I realized that my body can store Spiritual Qi again, but at the same time, I’ve lost the ability to kill domain creatures to become stronger. I don’t know if I should be happy or sad.”

“Lin Ran refuses to listen and is secretly studying cultivation techniques. I’ll beat him to death. Don’t panic. This kid will definitely change. If you don’t believe me, look at the future. Has it changed? (Laughing.jpg)”

“You were too pretentious in the early stages, causing me to still be praised by the people around me after I lost the ability to enter the future dream. It’s so f*cking awkward.”

…

“Mu Qing is no longer averse to me and treats me as a friend. After asking, I found out that she did volunteer to participate in the Rune Transformers Project of the Scarlet Research Institute. It was because she also wanted to complete the experiment that her family did not finish so what Grandmaster said was right. However, this doesn’t mean that there’s nothing wrong with the Scarlet Research Institute. I’m continuing to investigate. I still think that Mu Qing’s betrayal of humans is related to the Scarlet Research Institute. It’s related to the Scarlet Research Institute mission she was involved in investigating in the database records. This mysterious organization seems to have many secrets.”

…

“If I die young, and the cause of my death is confidential… it’s very likely that I was assassinated!”
