Although her movements were swift, it was too late.
When the clone appeared, Dao Tian had already entered it.
He blocked Xiao Long Nu in front of her.
Xiao Long Nu dodged, preparing to bypass the clone and continue her attack on Luo Guo’s fallen body.
To her surprise, the clone didn’t continue to block her. Instead, it directly delivered a back kick, sending Luo Guo’s body flying.
Chu Tian, watching from the side, grimaced!
The sleeping Luo Guo was truly unlucky.
At this moment, Chu Tian no longer believed he was just a simple NPC.
He had been unconscious, likely due to Xiao Long Nu’s meddling.
And Dao Tian, controlling the clone, delivered a vicious kick.
Luo Guo’s flying body collided with a pillar at the waist.
With a snap, Luo Guo’s back of the head hit his heel.
His body folded in half.
If he were alive, he would surely be completely crippled.
This person was rated as a demigod by the Heaven’s Will System.
“You… you you you… wah wah…” Xiao Long Nu, seeing herself blocked, first pointed at the clone.
Then she crouched down and began to cry uncontrollably.
“Stop crying, you’re already over a thousand years old, why are you acting like a child!” Dao Tian looked down at her and said expressionlessly.
Hearing this, Xiao Long Nu stopped crying, looking pitiful, but said indignantly, “I’m two thousand years old, and I’m still a child within my clan!”
“I remember your scent, that day it was you…” Before she could finish speaking, Chu Tian suddenly couldn’t hear her voice.
But he could see her lips moving, still speaking.
And Dao Tian glanced back at him, communicating with Xiao Long Nu.
Chu Tian couldn’t hear their voices at all.
“Dao Tian… you bastard!” Chu Tian cursed.
He knew this had to be Dao Tian’s doing.
The next second, he was stunned; he couldn’t even hear his own voice.
In the next second, his vision went black, and he was kicked out of the game by the Heaven’s Will System!
Chu Tian roared, “Dao Tian, what secret are you hiding, damn it?”
“Who is Dao Tian?” someone beside him suddenly asked.
Looking up, Ma De Ju had just poked his head out of the game pod, looking at him in surprise.
“It’s nothing! Why are you out?”
Ma De Ju was taken aback by his question and said, “Aren’t you out too? The Heaven’s Will System is undergoing emergency maintenance and will be back online in an hour!”
Chu Tian knew this was definitely Dao Tian’s doing.
Didn’t he say he couldn’t manipulate things within the Heaven’s Will World?
How could he just kick him out like that?
And claim it was maintenance?
What was the identity of that Xiao Long Nu, who claimed to be two thousand years old?
Her last sentence: I remember your scent, that day it was you…
What happened that day?
What did Dao Tian do?
All sorts of questions arose in Chu Tian’s mind.
However, even if he asked Dao Tian, he probably wouldn’t tell him, or would just say, “You’ll know in the future.”
“Brother Tian, are you hungry?” Ma De Ju emerged from the game pod and, after wandering around the room for a bit, asked this question.
Interrupted by his words, Chu Tian actually felt a little hungry.
Seeing his demeanor, Chu Tian scoffed, “It’s late at night, you’re not planning to make barbecue again, are you?”
Hearing him say that, Ma De Ju flinched and glanced outside, saying, “Uh… forget it. If I barbecue here, I’ll probably get roasted by my grandmother in the end.”
“Haha…” Chu Tian laughed.
So Ma De Ju also had someone to fear, likely having developed psychological trauma from being beaten since childhood.
This guy had a Qianbao Bag, so he never lacked food.
After a flurry of activity, he actually set up a large table.
On the table was an old-fashioned copper hot pot.
Chu Tian was surprised; this guy really couldn’t stay put, making barbecue during the day and hot pot in the middle of the night.
After some busy work, he brought out a box of charcoal and a blowtorch, ignited the charcoal, and placed it into the hot pot’s inner liner.
He grinned at Chu Tian and said, “Ready to eat, I’ll go ask them if they want some!”
Helpless Chu Tian watched him run off and then walked over to the table.
A large spread of ingredients for涮 was laid out.
The meat slices were actually frozen!
This… his spatial device could also refrigerate?
When he returned, he had to ask him how he got the spatial device.
Chu Tian was incredibly envious and wanted one too.
A short while later, Lin Chi, Lin Ran, and Lin Yu all arrived.
The flavor from this ancient copper hot pot was indeed better than modern high-tech hot pots.
Moreover, it heated up very quickly, and the few of them gathered around the table, eating heartily.
Time passed quickly, and the hour of the Heaven’s Will System’s maintenance was up.
As they ate and chatted, even Lin Yu’s mouth was greasy with oil. Just as they were enjoying themselves, Chu Tian suddenly stood up.
Everyone was taken aback. Chu Tian said nothing, telling them to continue eating.
He put on his helmet and entered the Heaven’s Will World.
[Ding… System prompt: Heaven’s Will World system upgrade complete.]
[Ding… System prompt: New function 'Pet System' unlocked! Players can purchase pet eggs from the system store for hatching, or capture wild creatures.]
After Chu Tian entered, his location remained unchanged.
He was still in the underground chamber.
However, the body of Lord Luo Guo had disappeared.
But the continuous system prompts shattered Chu Tian’s understanding.
The Heaven’s Will World’s maintenance had actually unlocked the Pet System.
In his previous life, the Pet System was originally supposed to be unlocked after the Fortress Conquest, within the time frame before the regional battles.
A while ago, Luo Luo obtained the first pet on the entire server and entered the排行榜, making players curious about how pets were obtained.
At this moment, the clone suddenly appeared, and from its gaze, Chu Tian knew it was Dao Tian controlling it.
Before Chu Tian could speak, the clone extended its hand and offered him an egg the size of a basketball.
Chu Tian froze, could it be…
He reached out and took it.
[Ding… System prompt: Obtained special item: Pet Egg (Azure Dragon) x1.]
As he expected, it was a pet egg.
The words Azure Dragon on it made Chu Tian sweat. He looked at Dao Tian and said, “You didn’t turn that Xiao Long Nu into an egg, did you?”
Dao Tian nodded and said, “Don’t ask. If you ask, I won’t tell you. You will know her origin yourself later.”
“She was always hidden within an NPC, which limited her development.”
“Letting her be reborn and follow you by your side can help you and also help her.”
“Her memories are temporarily sealed, so don’t expect to get anything out of her!”
“As for the existence of this region, I can only tell you that it is for their own good!”
This was the first time Dao Tian had spoken so much to him at once.
Chu Tian pondered for a moment and slowly said, “I only have one question.”
Before Dao Tian could reply, he directly stated, “The Heaven’s Will World is a real world, isn’t it?”
Dao Tian also pondered for a moment and replied slowly, “Well… it used to be!”
Chu Tian’s eyes widened. What did “used to be” mean?
But no matter how much he pressed, Dao Tian refused to answer any more of his questions.
In the end, Dao Tian even disappeared from the clone.
Furious, Chu Tian immediately logged off and went back to continue eating hot pot with Ma De Ju and the others.
