Wearing the contact lenses, Ye Fei Li found himself looking at a complete stranger in the mirror.
But this is only the genetic modification serum’s effect, it’s not very important.
The crucial point was that his eyes had become black again.
Gu Qing Shan’s voice came from behind: “If you don’t like black, we can just change it to a different color instead, how about blue?”
…
The shuttle arrived.
As they got off the shuttle, an acquaintance was already there waiting for them.
Tong Tong.
The young girl Tong Tong once cooperated with them to kill the Game of Eternal’s champion Liu Shi Man.
She’s also the 11th ranking assassin in the Hunter Association.
“Mr. Gu, Mr. Ye, please come this way” Tong Tong smiled and greeted them.
“Hello again, thanks for your help last time” Gu Qing Shan greeted.
“To be able to kill someone with Mr. Gu and Mr. Ye is my honor” Tong Tong smiled in response.
Her tone showed how great she regarded that matter.
After a bit of chatting, the three of them went down the main road following Tong Tong’s lead.
“Where are we going now?” Ye Fei Li asked.
“Mr. Ye Fei Li will be entering the underground black market to learn a few basic rules and survival skills” saying so, Tong Tong nodded to greet a black man.
They talked for a bit, then the black man gestured for Ye Fei Li to come with him.
“Alright” Ye Fei Li sighed helplessly and followed the black man.
“What about me? Where am I going?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Please follow me sir” Tong Tong said.
They walked for a bit more, reaching the front gate of a certain building.
Tong Tong stopped and turned around, smiling: “Mr. Gu, we’re here”
“This place?” Gu Qing Shan looked up.
A large stone sign was right next to the front gate.
「 Capital Academy of Theatre Arts 」
Gu Qing Shan muttered: “So all of you are actors huh”
“This is a very crucial basic skill” Tong Tong said with a serious face.
They went through the academy gate.
The one teaching Gu Qing Shan today is the undisputed number one theatre arts Grandmaster of the Academy.
After spending an entire morning, Gu Qing Shan was yelled at so much he felt like he just took a shower.
During lunch, Zhang Ying Hao came.
“Don’t be impatient, you have to learn to act as someone else entirely, the trick is to feel that you are him, and he is you” Zhang Ying Hao said.
Gu Qing Shan sat and silently ate lunch.
Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something and asked: “Did many famous movie stars graduate from here?”
“Basically all household names in the film industry graduated from this place” Zhang Ying Hao answered.
Gu Qing Shan contemplated something.
Before he finished his lunch, he suddenly left for a while.
“Where are you going?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.
“I’m going to visit the hall of fame exhibition for a bit” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Ah, that’s right, there are many props that have been used by famous grandmasters on exhibition there, definitely worth taking a look” Zhang Ying Hao was a bit surprised, but agreed.
“That’s right, it’s definitely worth it” Gu Qing Shan commented.
On the War God UI, a notification was left.
[Spent 300 Soul Points. Remaining Soul Points: 5300/300]
That afternoon, Gu Qing Shan passed all the acting tests with flying colors.
Night.
Back on the mountaintop mansion.
“I really couldn’t believe it” Zhang Ying Hao said.
“That’s right, did you cheat or something?” Ye Fei Li asked.
“This is talent” Gu Qing Shan very shamelessly claimed.
“Now that you’ve graduated, are you going to be acting as your target right away?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.
“No, I plan to stay here for a while” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Why?”
“I still feel a bit uneasy” Gu Qing Shan said unnaturally.
The shuttle landed.
It was nighttime, but a fire was seen outside the mansion.
Liao Xing was smoking a cigarette, squatting down to burn some faux gold. (1)
“For a loved one?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Tang Jun, a good brother of mine” Liao Xing answered.
“That name sounds familiar, I think he was a scientist or something?” Ye Fei Li asked.
“That’s right, his field was genetic research while mine was physics and chemistry. Since there wasn’t any direct competition between ourselves, we slowly became friends”
Liao Xing finished burning the paper, stood up and patted off the dust on himself: “Before, when I was being pursued by the 9 Lords, it was thanks to him that I managed to fake my death and got away”
Everyone patted his shoulder to console him.
That night, Liao Xing drank himself to sleep.
After dinner, Gu Qing Shan returned to his room.
A black briefcase was laid on the table.
[Sir, your genetic appearance restructuring serum is ready] Impartial Goddess spoke.
Gu Qing Shan opened the briefcase.
There were two rows of injection-type serums laid out.
The row on top was red, while the row below was blue.
Impartial Goddess explained: [To ensure your disguise is impeccable, I’ve prepared a few extra serums to enable you to use them at any time]
“Thanks a lot” Gu Qing Shan put the briefcase away.
He looked at the War God UI and said nothing.
Everything is already prepared, if there weren’t so many unexpected issues, he would be preparing to return to the space vortex right now.
An extremely powerful world was waiting for him on the other side, so he had to be as cautious as possible to ensure his survival.
But he still can’t leave yet.
The rain was still pouring outside.
“Impartial Goddess”
[Sir?]
“Show satellite footage of Baiyang Lake, Cangwu River and Jinyun River”
These were the locations where the Frost Calamity first struck during the past life.
[Yes sir] Impartial Goddess answered.
A screen was projected to show satellite images from above of these three bodies of water.
There was no ice on the water surface.
On Cangwu River, the military was retreating.
“What’s going on here?” Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
[To prevent the sea creatures from entering the mainland following the flow of the river, the President had personally approved these monitoring measures. The current monitoring mission is over, so the military is retreating]
“Dispatch miniature surveillance robots to enter the water and thoroughly check below the water surface” Gu Qing Shan said.
He was still uneasy so he decided to order a thorough search.
In the past life, these 3 areas were the first to show the signs.
A few hundred black objects fell from above into the water before diving deep under.
Even the deepest, darkest places in the water was being shined on.
The underwater surveillance robots had turned on their searchlights and began to move around slowly.
The investigation had begun.
Almost at the same time.
Below Baiyang Lake and Jinyun River, as if noticing the robots approaching, the gathered ice crystals suddenly disappeared without a trace.
They were either sentient, or smart enough to avoid the robots.
Cangwu River was the only place truly without any ice.
Impartial Goddess reported: [Sir, all three bodies of water are very large, it will take a bit of time to finish investigating. You don’t have to keep waiting for now]
“Alright”
Gu Qing Shan replied and went into deep thought.
In the small chance that it truly is that calamity, how long can humanity actually last?
With all the strongest powers of humanity gathered, including himself, there still wouldn’t be a way to permanently deal with it.
Even if I manage to find out about it early ——just what should I do?
Human power alone simply cannot win against such a calamity.
Never mind Reality right now, even the hundred millions of cultivated players in the past life still couldn’t manage to win against this calamity.
Even the countless Ascended realm players could do nothing but fight until their last breaths when faced with this calamity.
It was the true Apocalypse.
You can’t blame Gu Qing Shan for hoping for the best, because otherwise there truly wasn’t any hope at all.
Note:
(1) Burning faux gold: this is an Asian custom where you burn paper decorated as various things as an offering to the deceased. Some of the things included are: fake money, fake gold paper, paper vehicles, paper servants etc.
