Chapter 246 You Will Never Climb This Step
In the temporary lounge.

"Hey yo."

[Sayako Haneda succeeded in the throwing test 20/20]

The bored Sayoko yawned.The dart she threw landed just a little distance from the heart.

In consideration of saving electricity from the generator, Sayoko did not fiddle with the phone, but played darts to pass the time.

Today she and Qin Lingxue were in charge of the night watch, but their boss, Chen Qiang, who seemed to never tire, took all the work on himself, leaving the two girls somewhat idle.

"What's wrong, Xiaoxue?" Xiao Yezi noticed that Qin Lingxue seemed to be in a daze, staring at the air between Xiao Yezi and the target.

"Nothing." Qin Lingxue replied.

She also picked up a dart, aimed carefully, and threw it at a distant target.

[Qin Lingxue failed the throw test 21/20]

【Burning Lucky】

[Qin Lingxue succeeded in the throwing test 20/20, current luck is 74]

Sayoko blinked her eyes.The dart in Qin Lingxue's hand seemed to draw a strange arc in the air, and finally hit a place very close to the bull's-eye.

"That's right," Sayoko said in surprise, "Next it's my turn."

Qin Lingxue stared at the bullseye.

No... I am not dreaming.

I did see the result of the dice, and changed the number.

Chen Qiang just told himself that the power... really exists.

"This is for your safety," Chen Qiang's words just now still ring in his ears, "I will gradually 'lend' this power to other people, but the first one will always be you, Xiaoxue."

It's exactly the same as what he said, Qin Lingxue thought.

Indeed, Chen Qiang gave her the ability to change the results of dice in the "Christmas Carnival" game, which was exactly the same as the board game he taught himself.

But that's the game world, isn't it?It is precisely because it is the game world that the result of the "skill check" can be displayed.

But now, with Chen Qiang's "power", Qin Lingxue saw the "dice" in the real world, and she didn't know whether the "dice result" reflected the facts of what was happening, or whether the "dice count" created the real result.

"...Is this your magic?"

……

Through the investigator talent "distribute talent", Chen Qiang not only allows his investigators to temporarily obtain the "investigator's eye" to see the dice checks in the real world, but also allows investigators to use "burning luck" to "correct" the established fact.

Now, almost everyone is unconsciously protected by gifts like "Friends of Shoggoth".However, for several active talents such as "burning luck", Chen Qiang did not achieve them overnight, but decided to reveal his strength step by step.

The employees of the "Fortress of Sanity" are also down.Mrs. Meghan, Helena, and several investigators of mythical creatures may not easily accept that this ability to see and distort reality is just a simple magic statement.

Maybe...for the Mi-go, Yisi people or ancients who don't believe in any specific gods, the ability bestowed by themselves is more like a means for a god to protect followers?

……

[Qin Lingxue's physical fitness test was successful 36/55]

[Sayako failed the physical examination 81/50]

Staying up late made Xiao Yezi feel a little sleepy, but Qin Lingxue's spirit was not bad.

"This is..." On the surveillance screen, Qin Lingxue discovered Xia Ni's invasion.

【Don't worry about it. 】Chen Qiang's voice transmission suddenly sounded in her ears, and the hand that told her to sound the alarm stopped.

……

At the end of the corridor, the distorted sound effect attracted Mr. Shani's attention.

It was two low, humming, strange voice whistling.

"Myth... Chronicle."

[Mr. Shani failed the Cthulhu Mythos test with punishment 92/4]

No, this doesn't look like a spell, the Shoggoth King thought bewildered, nor does it look like a human weapon or technological device.

Over the long years, Mr. Shani has understood "evolution" in his own way.For this reason, he tried every means to participate in human civilization, and created conditions as much as possible to increase the number of human beings.

He has founded empires, invented vaccines, improved agricultural technology, improved public health care, founded societies, published newspapers, and established trading companies—human civilization was not created by him, but he worked hard for it.

The only drawback is that the Shoggoths' poor learning ability still bothers him. After the end of the 20th century, the explosion of information made him somewhat unfit for human society.He originally needed years of practice to master complex knowledge, and the fast-paced cultural life made it difficult for him to accept.

Maybe it's time to dedicate the whole of humanity to the Dream Witch, Mr. Shaney thought.This might temporarily quell her thirst for infinite evolution.The king of Shoggoth has witnessed the history of mankind; and in his opinion, after obtaining the highest technology of the ancients, the annals of mankind will end sooner or later in his hands.

No doubt the Shoggoth King prides himself on his patience.No human weapon designer would add meaningless sound effects like "Myth Chronicles" to their products, and there would be no signs of spells.

"A smart, meaningless trap." The Shoggoth King made a judgment.

He walked towards the hall at the end.

however……

[Myth Chronicle! 】

The "sound effect" sounded again - different from the distorted roaring voice before, this time the voice was cold and lofty, directly sounding from the deepest part of Mr. Shani's consciousness.

【Channel Achievement】

[This is the time for unlimited achievements! 】

"..."

No matter how outrageous and unclear the line is, Mr. Shani has to admit...

The sound was the effect of some magic.

Maybe they were performing some kind of ceremony, maybe...

"interesting."

The shoggoth king did not flinch.He walked into the hall converted from a factory building without hesitation.

It's extremely spacious, with ceilings as high as three stories high.In the center is a sunken pool, filled with bottles and cans that look like discarded chemicals.

However, Mr. Shani's eyes were fixed on the top of the stairs not far away.

"You are……"

A man in black armor covered his whole body with strange light patterns standing on the top of the stairs, looking down at Mr. Shani.

Beside him, there were two guards who looked like followers and wore brass-colored full-body armor.

"Ah... I found it. It's an item that even the 'Dream Witch' pays attention to."

Mr. Shani noticed the belts of the three at a glance.On the exquisite metal belt, there is a device in the shape of a USB flash drive.

There is no doubt that this belt is what Miss Yi asked him to obtain by name.

How lucky, Mr. Charney thought.I thought there would only be one, but three appeared in one breath.

Dedicate one to Ms. Yi, and I can take away at least one... Mr. Shani thought to himself.

The guy in the center looks very dangerous—his hem and cloak are fluttering in the wind, and he looks like a high-level character, perhaps the leader of the traversers entrenched here.On the other hand, the other two brass armored servants lacked facial features, and they looked like little fish, and they seemed to be guys with low combat effectiveness.

The target is them!

"It's you. Albert Shani..." Only the masked man in the center made a high-pitched voice.

"I want to make a deal with you," Shani said.I don't know if the other party can mass-produce this thing, but the king of Shoggoth doesn't mind the courtesy first.

Chen Qiang, in his exoskeleton armor form, sneered.

"Deal? No, Albert Shaney, you don't recognize where you stand. So..."

Chen Qiang pointed to the stairs in front of him.

"As long as you can climb the stairs and walk in front of me, I will agree to negotiate with you," Chen Qiang said, "but you will never be able to climb the stairs. In other words, you cannot take half a step on the stairs."

　Habitually create a new WORD when publishing a new volume, which results in some chapter numbers of this volume being wrong. VIP chapters have not yet been able to change the chapter name, and launching the Crimson King (?) to change the future chapter number may also lead to Readers who read on different system platforms have a problem... Hesitated for 10 seconds between pretending that nothing happened (roll a cover check to see if you can succeed) and bravely admitting the mistake, and finally decided to admit the mistake, bringing Sorry for the inconvenience.Missing chapter numbers can maybe be filled in later with "other mods that happened to happen around this time" or something... Deep bows. PS: The chapter at the starting point said that the posting of pictures is reviewed, and it seems that it will not be used for the time being...o(╯□╰)o
