Chapter 1271: Gu Qing Shan’s battle

Gu Qing Shan was circling around in the sky as a black dragon.

He no longer paid any heed to the monster’s faraway shouting, instead opted to silently wait.

“Finished?” he asked with his inner sight.

“I’ll be done soon, don’t urge me”

NEET Gu Qing Shan answered as he slurped his noodles.

After eating, he picked up his beer and chugged it down.

“Such wonderful flavor, definitely worthy of protecting…” NEET Gu Qing Shan praised.

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t really urge him any further, so he said: “I need to kill that monster. This is very important to me, so please hurry up as soon as you can”

NEET Gu Qing Shan finished his beer, than wiped his mouth:

“Done, you can go”

Saying so, he took out his personal Holo-brain and turned a game on.

Game music began to play.

NEET Gu Qing Shan began to change the game’s setting in accordance to his own preference.

Seeing him like this, Gu Qing Shan was still una.s.sured and asked: “Hey, are you really going to be fine like this?”

“Sleeping, eating noodles, and drinking beer are things that I have to finish no matter what, but the game is selective, so I can pause at any time” NEET Gu Qing Shan replied.

From the black fog, the Judge of Living Beings’ Fate ordered:

「 Sea Armor Kaess who feeds on dragons, your opponent is a dragon. Go, kill it, consume it! 」

『 It is… my… pleasure 』

A low resounding voice replied.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

The ground trembled.

It was as if something gigantic was moving step by step out from the black fog.

At the same time, NEET Gu Qing Shan said: “To let you feel a.s.sured doing what you need to do——-”

He pointed his finger outside the window.

A code sword qi shot out from the window, cut open the void, and displayed the chaotic scene outside this world for all to see.

The sword continued flying through the sky and entered the depths of the black fog.

A deafening howl then resounded.

Thud, thud!

Rumble!

Something had just fallen to the ground.

The black fog no longer surged, returning the world to silence.

Witnessing this sword strike, Gu Qing Shan finally felt relaxed and replied: “Very decent swordsmans.h.i.+p, then I’ll be on my way!”

“Hm, go” NEET Gu Qing Shan replied.

Gu Qing Shan flew towards the black fog and soon disappeared from their sights.

“Look, that dragon is heading into the black fog!”

“It’s going to fight against those monsters!”

“Ahaha, this dragon must be our world’s guardian G.o.d!”

“The dragon race is truly powerful!”

Everyone cheered.

Meanwhile in the city, NEET Gu Qing Shan lowered his finger and continued with his game.

“Hey, you have nothing to do right now, and this game can be played with two people, want to join me?”

He asked Shan Hai Qi Xia.

“No, under the current situation, I’m in no mood to be playing such a thing” Shan Hai Qi Xia coldly replied.

——-he only needs to play, sleep, and eat, yet was able to grasp such powerful swordsmans.h.i.+p.

“This world really is unfair” Shan Hai Qi Xia subconsciously complained in irritation.

“Ah? Why is it unfair?” NEET Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the screen and casually asked.

Shan Hai Qi Xia turned her eyes, then suddenly said: “Your [Order] seems to be very powerful, can you have me carry it as well?”

NEET Gu Qing Shan appeared troubled and replied: “Ah, about that——- I’m afraid it might not want to attach to you”

Shan Hai Qi Xia was speechless.

“Why not? It is because I’m not lazy enough?” she asked.

“No, because only those with the most solid minds would not go insane after they carry it——- I’m sorry, I don’t want to praise myself, but it’s the truth” NEET Gu Qing Shan replied.

Shan Hai Qi Xia scoffed, wanting to say something else, but then went silent.

She silently watched NEET Gu Qing Shan’s back.

From behind, it was clear that NEET Gu Qing Shan was merely sitting there, calmly playing his game.

But something feels off…

She suddenly took out her purple bell, raised it in her hand, and pointed it at NEET Gu Qing Shan.

c.h.i.n.k kaling-ling

The small purple bell suddenly rang by itself, letting out a clear chime before returning to silence.

A few moments later—–

c.h.i.n.k kaling-ling

The purple bell rang again.

A few moments later.

c.h.i.n.k kaling-ling!

The purple bell rang again.

Shan Hai Qi Xia took a few steps back and asked with a pale expression: “What’s going on? Why did you already die three times in just a few moments?”

NEET Gu Qing Shan turned around in surprise at her: “Huh? Is that from the bell? So you already noticed”

At this point, the Holo-Brain let out some catchy electronic music.

“Wait a moment, I just pa.s.sed the level” NEET Gu Qing Shan replied.

Right after that, the purple bell in Shan Hai Qi Xia’s hand rang again.

Four times!

In less than 10 minutes, he already died four times!

“What exactly is going on?” Shan Hai Qi Xia asked again.

“It’s nothing much. Whenever I finish a NEET mission, I’ll be sent by the [Order] into another s.p.a.ce-Time” NEET Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Another s.p.a.ce-Time?” Shan Hai Qi Xia asked in confusion.

“That’s right, the [Order] will choose an Apocalypse where I’ll lose my life even if I exert all of my powers, forcing me to fight in that environment until I die” NEET Gu Qing Shan replied.

Shan Hai Qi Xia was stunned, muttering: “That means, you’ve been continuously fighting within the Apocalypses?”

NEET Gu Qing Shan said: “It’s not much, after all, whenever I die, I’ll just return to reality”

Shan Hai Qi Xia shook her head again and again, still in disbelief: “Then, you aren’t actually as relaxed you appear, but rather earning opportunities to enter the Apocalypses during your every waking moment, then fight within that until death?”

“That’s normal. The persistence to continuously challenge yourself is only the most basic foundation of becoming stronger. There’s nothing in this reality that can simply wait until the next day for you do to it, if you need the strength to change something, then you must use everything you have to fight——”

“Every single moment of every single day”

NEET Gu Qing Shan calmly replied, then glanced at the Holo-Brain screen.

Music resounded.

A new game match had begun.

…

On the other side.

The black dragon’s sky-eclipsing form entered the black fog, then instantly turned into an orange cat and flickered in the air, suddenly disappearing.

[Orange Sovereign] transformation, [Ghostly Shadow of Night] borrowing [Spotless Jade]——

Several abilities were used in tandem!

The orange cat swiftly landed on the ground and instantly began charging forward.

The power fluctuations from the battle were so obvious that they couldn’t hide from its perception at all.

In the black fog, numerous monsters stood up from their tombstones, slowly making their way towards the city.

“Destroy… everything…”

They all muttered at the ends of their breaths.

The orange cat ran into these monsters, then continued past them, rapidly running in their direction.

At this point, he didn’t care about these apocalyptic monsters.

—–he wanted to find the Judge of Living Beings’ Fate, then kill it!

The orange cat moved like a blurred shadow, moving through a large distance in a short period of time, leaving all the monsters behind him.

Suddenly, the sky ahead of him became clear!

The orange cat had made it through the black fog to reach the vast desolate field.

“Void monster, why are you working for the Apocalypse!”

The Beast King G.o.d’s roar wildly resounded.

The orange cat looked around.

The monster filled with brutal spikes were standing on top of a high tombstone——-

It was the Judge of Living Beings’ Fate!

Across from it, the monsters of the great tomb were mostly defeated, quite a few of them already laying as motionless corpses on the ground.

The Beast King G.o.d stood in front of all the monsters, holding the Judge of Living Beings’ Fate off.

The orange cat raised his tail, silently moving into the center of the battle.

He climbed onto a tombstone, silently crouching behind the void monster, and waited.

——–as soon as there was a chance, he would deliver the killing blow.
