Chapter 113 The Weight of Authority

N7183, Fort Town.

Zhang Weidong squatted on his chair with one foot, the other foot crossed on his knee, holding a long-empty cup of tea in his left hand, and twirling his beard with his right hand.

In front of him, stood a circle of people, either N7183's senior executives or technical staff.

Everyone was accustomed to Zhang Weidong's performance art, but Zhang Jinyu, who was standing at the end, frowned and wanted to remind him several times but finally chose to keep his mouth shut.

"Jin Yu, do you have something to say?" Zhang Weidong saw his granddaughter's expression and thought she had something in mind.

"...No." Zhang Jinyu lowered his head, said nothing, and did not dare to show any expression.

After all, there is one person standing in this room who is either her senior or her leader. It is not too much to have fun with grandpa in private, but in this kind of formal occasion, you still have to be restrained.

"He said that believers are His eyes...so, have you prayed? Has He looked at this place?"

Zhang Weidong didn't want to let her go so easily, but asked.

"I prayed...but no." Zhang Jinyu said gloomily.

"Why? Haven't you successfully opened the channel of faith? Why haven't you been able to restore it yet?" Zhang Wendong asked reproachfully.

"I don't know... I haven't responded since that time." Zhang Jinyu sighed.

"Is it because you have nothing to wear...cough cough cough, okay, fine, just pretend I didn't say anything. Anyway, it's not important."

Zhang Weidong scratched his bald head and turned his gaze to the others: "What about you? What do you think of this 'god'?"

"Mr. Zhang, with all due respect, is this... really worthy of our heavy bet? Is it stronger than you?" asked a warrior wearing Zha armor.

"Me? Haha, you think too highly of me." Zhang Weidong shook his head, "I'm just standing on the threshold of becoming a god, and that person... I can't understand the power he holds."

"...Actually, we don't necessarily need to ask for help from outside gods. As long as you carry out that plan, you can cross the threshold and become a god for us humans."

A man in a white coat wearing glasses said seriously.

Zhang Weidong was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I...can't bear it."

"Why? Even in the Southern Five Barriers, you will definitely be among the top ten strong men! As long as you can become a god, then..."

"I said, I can't bear it." Zhang Weidong said with a very serious look, "Becoming a god is not as simple as you think... While people have power, they are also affected by power. This is a two-way street."

"Even if you are willing to sacrifice yourselves to let me get that authority...but after that, I will not be me."

"The drive of authority, the expansion of desire, and the temptation of power...at that time, will I really still be a 'god' on the human side?"

"Maybe I will swallow all the human fragments..."

Zhang Weidong put down the empty tea cup and looked at the complicated map on the wall.

For Zhang Weidong, who stands on the edge of "becoming a god" with one foot, he knows very well how powerful that temptation is. As long as anyone crosses that line, it is impossible to look back.

After all, it is a path that gathers all kinds of great power into oneself...and this path is destined to be the enemy of everyone.

"I am, after all, a mortal... not a saint."

"I can't bear this kind of test."

Zhang Weidong jumped down from the chair and came to the window with his hands behind his back.

"...But, at least we believe in you." The soldier wearing Zha armor said.

"But the problem is that I don't believe in myself." Zhang Weidong waved his hand.

"...That's better than trusting that outsider, right?" The white coat wearing glasses couldn't convince himself to leave his fate to others.

"But the problem is, we have no choice." Zhang Weidong still did not turn around, looking at the sky in the distance, leaving everyone with a bleak back.

"I can feel that the evil god outside the Southern Five Barriers is getting stronger and stronger... It may be only one step away from becoming a true god."

"Time waits for no one, comrades, time waits for no one!"

"At this time, it is good to introduce any variables...haven't we discussed it before?"

"Besides..."

Zhang Weidong recalled his feelings when he confronted Dahuang before.

Although I felt it was very dangerous instinctively, I didn't feel the slightest bit of pressure. Instead, I felt like a spring breeze...

It was as if he was not facing a powerful god, but a kind old man. At the same time, the other party's words were aggressive and did not give anyone any chance to breathe, like a young man with a sharp edge...

"...Anyway, let's invite that person's eyes over first. After all, our own eyes are hard to use, right?"

Zhang Weidong said.

Zhang Jinyu: "..."

…

On the other hand, Xiao Jian’s courtyard.

On the other side of the sea, endless crabs never stopped for a moment.

Xiao Jian and Dahuang have taken turns for several rounds, but these cheap cannon fodder offensives still show no signs of stopping.

Coupled with the swordfish that rushes out of the fog from time to time, the embankment will always suffer some damage.

If this kind of damage accumulates too much, Xiao Jian will have to consume blank resource cards and sunshine points to repair it.

During this period, Xiao Jian also sent out murlocs to search the surroundings. However, this time he didn't know if he had learned the lesson. No matter in the sky or at the bottom of the sea, Xiao Jian found nothing.

Even though Rhubarb made several raids in the direction of the crabs, he still found nothing.

It seemed that after the last time, the guy who was hiding in the dark and constantly harassing him had learned the lesson. He took full advantage of Xiao Jian's weakness of insufficient detection distance and kept pulling against him at the extreme distance.

"..."

Xiao Jian, who owns the Skull Icon, knows very well that this kind of attack will be endless, and the cost of the attack is so low that it only needs to consume the surrounding fog.

Perhaps, when the surrounding fog is almost exhausted, Xiao Jian can find the real culprit.

And that will take a very, very long time...

"Meow meow meow?"

Suddenly, Dahuang, who had just gone to rest, ran over with a monocle in his mouth.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jian lowered his head and touched the cat's head.

"Meow!"

Dahuang put his front paws on him, and then Xiao Jian heard waves of faint prayers.

"Great Cat God, your most devout believer Lucia begs for your attention..."

The prayer was repeated over and over again. When Xiao Jian saw Dahuang's anxious look, he could only sigh and took the monocle to switch defenses with it.

Put on the monocle and select Rhubarb's disciple Rukia as the target, and then the picture from N7183 will appear on the monocle.
