Zhang Ying Hao looked at the almost visible blood glow on Ye Fei Li and asked: “As our new business partner, what are your thoughts after becoming stronger?”

“Be assured, I’m very happy with my life right now” noticing his gaze Ye Fei Li retracted the blood glow around himself before entering the room.

The three of them went to and sat on different sofas.

“As our partner, I of course welcome Ye Fei Li” Zhang Ying Hao then pointed at Liao Xing and asked: “But do I really have to take a guy like this in as well?”

Liao Xing stopped watching his idol drama and glared: “What do you mean? What do you mean by ‘a guy like that’, let me tell you, when this man was still making it big in the Confederate ——“

[Please remember the agreement of secrecy] Impartial Goddess’ voice suddenly came.

“Fine, fine, damn Nano bombs” Liao Xing scornfully mumbled.

“It’s fine, he’s Liao Xing, the inventor of warp technology” Gu Qing Shan introduced him.

[Sir!] Impartial Goddess protested.

“No need to worry, the two people here don’t have any intention of leaking this information” Gu Qing Shan consoled her.

Ye Fei Li doesn’t know what the name is supposed to means at all, but Zhang Ying Hao opened his eyes wide, staring at Liao Xing, speechless.

“You’re not dead… 30 years… that’s impressive indeed…” he muttered.

Liao Xing then looked to Gu Qing Shan and asked: “Brat, you brought me back here, so what do you want me to do?”

“Please wait a bit first” Gu Qing Shan took his personal Holo-Brain out.

Impartial Goddess’ voice came from the Holo-Brain: [Sir Gu Qing Shan, I’ve received the biological analysis of the rain, no problems were found]

No problems? That can’t be right.

He was a bit shocked.

After the Man Killer Fiend virus, every single time that the demons penetrated into this world, they always used rain as a catalyst.

The rain carried with it an other-worldly power, seeping into every inch of the world and concentrated everything deep underground.

The world will be silently and gradually changed by the rain, until a certain point is reached and the rain stops.

When it does, whatever change it brought will manifest.

All sorts of strange phenomenons.

Because of that, during the apocalyptic age of the past life, whenever there’s rain, everyone will be in an uproar.

Gu Qing Shan thought hard about this.

If there’s nothing strange about the rain, then it’s probably not those events…

Suddenly, Impartial Goddess spoke: “Sir Gu Qing Shan, 1 second ago, all the rain in the world stopped at the same time”

Already?

Gu Qing Shan was slightly surprised, then realized.

Oh no, during the 10 years of the apocalypse, the shortest time it rained was ——–

That incredibly cruel thing!

No, I can’t stop it!

Right at that moment, a voice was heard.

『 Our dear friends, the Game of Eternal has officially begun 』

From the voice, you’d imagine the one speaking to be a dignified old man.

But the strange thing is that the voice isn’t close or far, not too loud and not too soft, as if it was spoken from inside yourself.

“What is this?” Liao Xing was surprised.

“What trickery is this; it sounds like it came directly from inside my head” Zhang Ying Hao looked around cautiously.

Ye Fei Li squints his eyes as if to feel something, then spoke after a while: “It’s directly transmitting to my mind, what a powerful ability”

Gu Qing Shan sighed and dropped down onto the sofa dejectedly.

“It really was this dirty piece of shit”

He reluctantly accepted it.

Facing such strange circumstances, while everyone was still stunned and didn’t have time to think yet, the voice had already spoke again.

『 People of the world, I am your friend 』

『 The Apocalypse has come, calamities erupting all over the world, your fate is no better than an ant in a tsunami. Insignificantly small and not in your control 』

『 Do you want to change your fate? 』

『 Struggle, keep on moving forward among the bloodshed, as only the strong has the right to survive 』

Gu Qing Shan angrily smashed the table, breaking it.

“FUCK!” he shouted.

This was a dirty, lying “Death game”.

During the apocalypse, the entire human civilization lost 60% of its population because of this game.

In the span of only 10 days, it drove every person on the planet into madness, then to ruin.

“What happened?” Zhang Ying Hao asked with a very serious face.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the three of them and solemnly replied: “No matter what, you can’t choose [Yes], do you hear me?”

As soon as he finished, the voice had continued.

『 If you are a brave warrior, then challenge it. Once you succeed, you shall gain more power ——-you shall even gain eternal life itself! 』

『 The first ever Game of Eternal, will now accept your entrance! 』

As soon as that was heard, a line of text appeared in front of the four of them.

[Do you want to receive eternal life, becoming an existence that will never die?]

[Yes][No]

This line of text very lightly floated in the air, waiting, inviting.

And it appeared in front of every single person on the planet.

Gu Qing Shan’s face paled, sighing even more heavily.

That’s right, the only thing that can make every single person go mad and forget everything to chase after it: eternal life.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly raised his voice and spoke loudly: “Listen closely, everyone picks [No] right now, whoever picks [Yes], don’t blame me when I cut ties with you”

The three of them glanced at him, then exchanged looks.

Both Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li chose [No] at the same time.

Liao Xing saw their choices, hesitated a bit, then also chose [No]

“Just what the hell is going on?” Zhang Ying Hao asked again.

“I have a bad feeling about this, just keep on watching” Gu Qing Shan spoke.

Zhang Ying Hao nodded and didn’t continue to ask.

A “feeling” is a very hard thing to judge, a normal person’s feeling is basically never right, but as a Professionist become stronger, they are able to occasionally peer into the cracks of fate, manifesting as a hunch, which usually turns out to be correct.

The old man’s voice was then heard again:

『 The first group that wants to receive eternal life has been chosen 』

『 The amount of participants randomly selected from this world is: 17961 people 』

『 After the fierce battle, we shall see who is the final winner 』

『 The winner shall receive the right to an eternal life 』

『 Bystanders, you may watch the battle unfolds in this arena by closing your eyes 』

『 Now, let the exciting battle, BEGIN! 』

Everyone couldn’t help but close their eyes from curiosity.

A scene silently appeared in front of their vision.

This was an ancient-looking arena.

At first it was silent, then over ten thousand people suddenly appeared on the stone platform of the arena at the same time.

They were all gathered in the same place, but only took up not even 1/3rd of the arena.

And below the arena was a bottomless pit.

There’s not a single person on the spectator seats.

“Ah?”

“It’s true”

“What’s going on, did I really enter the selection battle?”

“I only pressed it to try it out…”

“Whoa, so cool”

“That’s strange, I can’t leave after entering”

“Can I really gain eternal life here?”

“I want to go back”

“It’s so scary here”

“What the hell”

Everyone was discussing between themselves, a few were scared, but most of them were full of excitement, feeling an Adrenaline rush from their new experience.

After all, the apocalypse has come, the world itself has already changed.

The governments were reporting news predicting where the sea creatures would arrive on land every day, there would even be footage of dozen-stories tall sea creatures on the news.

There’s also Man Eater Fiends and Man Killer Fiends that appeared suddenly and openly killed people, fighting against Professionists and Mechs every day.

Now that another strange thing appeared, they couldn’t help but get used to it.

In the arena, there were policemen, doctors, gangsters, housewives, students, Professionists, etc. there were almost 18,000 people, so all sorts of people are here.

Everyone stood there, gather into groups and exchanging glances while waiting for whatever happens next.

The old man’s voice was heard once again.

『 The game’s rules: Survive to the end, become the one and only King of the arena 』

As soon as they heard that, a few of them fell into thought, while more of them became pale.

“What do you mean? Are you saying there can only be one survivor?” someone shouted.

But the old man didn’t reply and only continued to speak.

『 The game’s time limit is 1 hour 』

『 Have fun, all of you 』

『 As of this moment, the competition has begun! 』

The old man’s voice disappeared.

A few of the sharper people had already separated from the crowd and ran far away.

But more of them were naïve and just stood still in place, not knowing what to do.
