Chapter 24 The Will Is There but Not the Memory

After clicking on the title, lines of game code appeared on the screen. As he continued to scroll down, the smile on Feng Qi’s face gradually froze. Looking at the dense game code on the screen, he felt that he was getting further and further away from becoming the richest man in the world. “Is this something that can be memorized by a carbon-based lifeform?” [You were too careless. Remember to bring the portable hard drive next time you come.] A narration appeared at the right time. If he could bring a mobile hard drive in reality into the dream, this problem would be easy to solve. He only needed to copy the content. However, the problem was that he could not bring anything in reality into the dream. The art aspect of the problem was easy to solve. He could find a way to find an art studio in reality to help model and animate. However, if he could not bring the game code out, it would be impossible to create Saviour. This was because the code contained the trajectory and operational logic of tens of thousands of spells. It was the core key to this game. After a moment of silence, he could not help but sigh regretfully. [Realizing that your brain can’t remember such a massive game code, you can’t help but wonder if there’s a prefix title that can provide the function of infinite memory?] The hunt from the narration instantly perked Feng Qi up. “Is there really such a prefix title? Does it mean that as long as I obtain such a prefix title, I will have a photographic memory? Also, if I want to obtain this prefix title, what type of domain creature do I need to kill?” Faced with Feng Qi’s series of questions, the narrator did not say anything else. He immediately gritted his teeth in hatred. The narration would disappear each time during a critical moment. After closing the code page, he was left with regret but also anticipation. Although the narration was despicable, it could always give him directions at critical moments. Feng Qi felt that the prefix title mentioned by the narrator did exist. After all, there were all kinds of domain creatures so domain creatures with photographic memory also made sense. However, at this stage, he definitely could not hope to create a game like Savior. His plan could only be delayed. He looked at the time. There were still 28 minutes before Little Black would arrive. For safety reasons, he decided to leave first and continue exploring the outside world. He would come back in a few days to take a look. Thinking about how he needed to replenish his energy progress bar each time he entered the future dream, he did not dare to die easily. After all, this life was worth more than a million points. The consumption was so great that his bank balance could not support it. Therefore, he wanted to stay in the dream as long as possible. Back then, his mentality was to fight Little Black even if he couldn’t win. In short, he couldn’t lose in terms of aura. But now his mentality had changed: “If I can’t win, why can’t I run?” It was just like using token to play a game. If one did not have enough tokens on them and wanted to play more, they could only try their best to ensure that they do not die easily. … He left the underground shelter of Star City along through metal passage. Cold winds howled in the outside world, and the sky was dusky. A rain of blood fell from the sky, and one could occasionally see a huge black figure flash past in the dark clouds. This was a deathly silent world. It did not change much because of his efforts. Feng Qi, who was already used to the scene in front of him, picked up a leg bone after leaving the metal passageway and continued to walk east. Along the way, he activated his killing mode again. The living dead and worms he encountered became nutrients for his evolution. After Feng Qi killed the living dead with a broken arm, he felt that his body had undergone a brand new change again. A warm current suddenly surged in his body, and the pink granulations on his body turned into clear muscle lines. Although his organs were still rotten and shrunken, the stench had clearly decreased. “I’m one step closer to becoming a human.” Feng Qi clenched his fists excitedly. After summoning the attributes panel, he saw that the details of his attributes had already changed. [Resilient (LV 2) – Strong Living Dead: Feng Qi] Strength: Unranked Prefix Title: Strong (Physical Strength+20% and enhanced self-recovery ability), Resilience LV2 (Muscle Toughness +2%) Bloodline: Human (Beginner) Bloodline Evolution Points: 113/1000 points Prefix Title Milestone: [Strong (Upgradeable)]: Second milestone progress: 0% [Resilience LV2] (Upgradeable): 2% … The prefix title had changed from Normal to Strong. He could clearly feel that his physical fitness had increased greatly. As he exerted strength, cracks appeared on the leg bones in his hand. “I’ve become stronger again!” Feng Qi grinned happily. [One step closer to becoming a muscular monster. Best of luck to you!] “Shut up!” [Okay!] … He followed the narrator’s instructions and headed east. After a few hours, Feng Qi finally left the area filled with skeletons. What appeared in front of him was a large number of dilapidated buildings. There were billboards with wires hanging upside down, office buildings that stood slanted with most of the building missing, dusty and dilapidated shops and crumbling buildings that have collapsed in the middle of the road. Walking among the ruins, he felt like he had arrived in a post-disaster world in the movies. Out of curiosity about the dream world, he spent some effort to climb up an 18-story building. He stood at the top and looked into the distance. As far as the eye could see, it was barren. Only the living dead and all kinds of strange monsters were wandering around. At this moment, he suddenly felt a little disappointed. “If I can’t return to reality and I’m the only one left in this world, can I still persevere?” [I’m not sure if you can do it, but I definitely can’t. This is too d*mn lonely. Everything you want you won’t get and you’ll face the living dead and all kinds of monsters all day long. Is this a place where carbon-based lifeforms can stay?] … [Oh right, I forgot to add that although I can’t, I think you can!] … He was always caught off guard by the spiteful narration that jumped out from time to time to complain. After pondering for a moment, he asked, “Narrator, what exactly are you? Are you something like the newbie guide in a game?” [Since you’re asking sincerely, I’ll be merciful and tell you…(Slight pause, BGM plays) Baby, I’m your father!] “Come, come, come. If you have the ability, jump out of my head. See if I’ll beat you to death.” The veins on Feng Qi’s forehead throbbed, and he had a strong urge to beat up the narrator. However, the teasing by the narrator also dispelled the disappointment in his heart. Taking a deep breath, he climbed down the way he had come up. He couldn’t be sure if Little Black had left the underground shelter, so he decided to continue exploring this post-disaster world. He climbed down along the outer wall. As soon as his feet landed, Feng Qi suddenly turned to the right. At some point, a blood-colored eye had appeared beside him.
