Global Game: I Have Portable Store

Look again.

Chen Qian still looked the same as before, no mouth had grown on her chest.

Xu Kai knew that what appeared normal to others would become distorted in his eyes.

In his eyes, most people were somewhat distorted, and in Chen Qian’s case, it was nearly out of control.

This distortion could only be seen by him, and it felt very real, often making him feel confused, unable to distinguish what was real and what was illusion.

No one else could see such things, so he naturally assumed that what he saw were false sights, likely reflecting the loss of control among the Extraordinaries.

But he couldn’t actively control this ability, it influenced him at every moment, adding a lot of pressure to him.

Most people were twisted, including at Seventeenth Middle School. Even the most powerful Zhou An had skin full of rust, which completely corroded his body.

From the outside, Zhu Xin Xue appeared more normal, but there were still anomalies, with her eyes sparkling like stars, looking unlike anything human but more like some other creature.

The only entirely normal one was Shen Jinxuan, without any anomalies, looking just like a normal human being.

It was very strange, and he hadn’t told anyone, feeling such matters might incite panic and suspicion among those around him.

Look again.

Those invisible white threads were being spit out from that mouth on Chen Qian’s chest, like spitting spider silk.

From a short distance away, Zhu Xin Xue’s face showed anxiousness, feeling the energy fluctuations on Chen Qian gradually rising, breaking through the threshold of a Tier Eight Extraordinary.

Becoming a Tier Seven Extraordinary was extremely difficult, not only requiring the Extraordinary to have substantial Mysteriousness but also for the Extraordinary to have sufficient Compatibility with their position, needing at least 90%, and more importantly, a ”Key” was also needed.

The ”Key” originates from the Doomsday Game and can only be obtained from various task rewards in the game.

The Key is the key to becoming a Tier Seven Extraordinary, and without it, one cannot become a Tier Seven Extraordinary.

Currently, all Tier Seven Extraordinaries have broken through to Tier Seven through the Key.

And even with a Key, it is not a 100% guarantee of success; initially, some obtained the Key, attempted to break through, and turned into monsters.

More and more people lost control and turned into monsters; no one succeeded. Just when everyone thought this method was wrong and impossible, Zhou An became the first Extraordinary to break through to Tier Seven.

Later, it was discovered that only with a Compatibility above 90% was there a chance of breakthrough; otherwise, one would certainly turn into a monster.

And even with a Compatibility above 90%, it wasn’t guaranteed success.

No one knows exactly what it relates to, whether it can be achieved seems to depend on luck, but many people think the longer one stays at Tier Eight, the higher the probability of success.

So, some people who got the Key, with their Mysteriousness and compatibility meeting the requirements, chose not to break through immediately.

Chen Qian was such a person.

She was never confident about this matter, foreseeing that once she attempted the breakthrough, she would inevitably lose control and become a monster, even after such a prolonged war, she had yet to choose to break through.

But now she was already at her limit; although both sides were Tier Eight Extraordinaries, Xu Kai, with that black longsword, was far stronger than her.

Because of Zhu Xin Xue’s presence, she probably had no chance to escape either.

”You’re seeking death!”

Xu Kai knew that Chen Qian chose to break through to enhance her own strength, and also knew that with her current status, she was bound to lose control.

”Then you’ll die first.” Chen Qian’s face split open at the corner of her mouth, blood flowing uncontrollably.

The next moment.

Seven blood-red threads shot out from the mouth on her head, piercing through the barrier effortlessly.

Xu Kai rolled twice sideways, but his left hand holding the black longsword was cut from the center and fell to the ground.

The surrounding black flames extinguished with the breeze and disappeared.

Zhu Xin Xue, seeing Chen Qian gradually losing control and showing symptoms of mutation, knew it wasn’t good, took a small yellow book from her bosom, crushed it in her hand, and then tossed it forward.

Out-of-control Extraordinaries become even more dangerous; they do not lose their wits, instead retaining their original intelligence, even becoming more cunning, understanding better how to utilize their power.

However, their way of thinking transforms into a living monster.

Their human existence has already died.

Pieces of the yellow book fluttered in the air, Chen Qian’s movements suddenly slowed down, giving Xu Kai space to dodge.

However, Xu Kai did not choose to retreat, but pulled out a broad knife from his back with one hand and lunged toward Chen Qian, slashing obliquely.

At that moment, it was as if he opened a third eye, seeing Chen Qian’s ugly, distorted appearance more clearly, even the surrounding environment seemed to change.

Like fine capillaries, dark red substances stretched throughout the surrounding space, constantly vibrating at a fixed frequency, like a living creature.

A few days before the battle in East Forest, he had just become an Extraordinary, showing almost no abilities aside from physical changes.

At that time, he could see the astonishment on Su Changxing’s face for the first time, seeing such an expression on the teacher’s face.

In his memory, the teacher was always in a calm and indifferent state, no matter what occurred.

Through the process, Xu Kai’s body was once again pierced by three red threads, even his heart was destroyed, yet his movements did not stop, continuing to push forward with the slashing motion, becoming faster, more powerful.

The graver the injury, the stronger his power, unleashing unprecedented strength at the brink of death, like the fleeting splendor of a falling meteor.

Zhu Xin Xue was stunned witnessing this, seeing Xu Kai’s form becoming blurry, like having been pixelated, appearing unreal, even the blood falling to the ground was fuzzy.

What’s going on?

She felt puzzled and panic-stricken at once, subconsciously thinking she saw something she shouldn’t have.

Although those red threads pierced Xu Kai’s body, they did not bind him.

In the instant his body became blurry, Xu Kai seemed to transform into an unreal phantom, moving past the red threads, delivering a swift slash, cutting through Chen Qian’s body.

From the human part of her, he cut.

To his thinking, that should be the weakest point, and it indeed was, cutting through it easily.

A trace of clarity flashed through the madness in Chen Qian’s eyes, also witnessing the scene just now, not understanding how Xu Kai achieved it.

Such a method exceeded cognition.

In her remaining rationality, she only felt pity for herself, wanting to escape that cruel fate, yet ultimately falling in the same place.

She had a deeply buried memory in her mind, one she never shared with anyone, still in that place, having not killed anyone, yet surviving.

What changed was, she followed along with Xu Kai and Ge Yunhua to Seventeen, yet due to Xu Kai, during the war in Donglin City, she was impaled by growing branches, becoming disabled, even after later becoming an Extraordinary, eventually dying in the prolonged war.

The pain in memory accumulated bit by bit until it crushed her, feeling so real.

She knew the Chenhe Association would win this war and relied on crucial information from memory to acquire some important Mysterious Items, quickly becoming an Extraordinary through them.

Everything seemed changed, yet seemingly nothing had changed.

She sensed something wrong.

From the time she became a Tier Eight Extraordinary, she sensed something wrong, progressing too fast seemed not so good either.

Something went wrong.

...

This instead made Chen Qian much clearer, a faint smile appeared on her face, looking up at Xu Kai:

”You think I killed Ge Yunhua, without me he would’ve been dead! Because of you he died! Because of you!”

Xu Kai knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, severe pain came from all over his body, feeling like his body might split apart at any moment:

”Why say this? Have you gone mad?”

Chen Qian went still, dying with her eyes open, followed by Xu Kai also falling forward onto the ground: ”I really didn’t want to see you like this, why? If only you hadn’t done that back then.”

He fantasized about the three being alive, chatting together, fighting as comrades, striving for a bright tomorrow.

Before that, the three were best friends, even before Doomsday.

Doomsday made everything twisted, became deceptive, made people’s emotions fragile, and trust became thin.

”It shouldn’t be like this...,” Xu Kai showed a confused expression, then slowly closed his eyes.
