Chapter 290: A Decade Later, the World Transforms
Chapter 290: A Decade Later, the World Transforms
High above in a skyscraper, a man dressed in a black trench coat exuded confidence as he gazed through the scope of his sniper rifle, his eyes gleaming with determination.
"With this shot, even a deity would perish."
As the personal sniper of the Black Crystal Marquis, the black-clad man was brimming with self-assurance.
His marksmanship was beyond question, and more importantly, the distance wasn't too far.
A single well-aimed shot like this would be enough to end his target's life.
Standing beside the black-clad sniper was an ordinary-looking young woman, her face exuding an air of arrogance and a confidence that seemed to look down upon the world.
"It's better if he's dead. Such a waste, he doesn't even have the qualifications to be my partner. It's best to eliminate him."
The ordinary woman named Wang Wei was just a regular company employee.
In the future, without any special skills, she would lose her job and eventually, out of desperation, become a nanny for a wealthy family.
Her hot-tempered personality, exacerbated by her debt, led her to mistreat the baby she was caring for. She often fed the baby medicine to stop its crying, and one time, her actions resulted in the baby's death.
As a consequence, she was arrested and imprisoned.
Her life had become incredibly dark and hopeless, but fate played a cruel joke on her, and the world rebooted, sending her back ten years into the past.
Upon returning to the past, she believed herself to be the world's favorite.
With her memories of the future, instead of immediately seeking cooperation with the Seven Star Constellation's family, she decided to find a local power to ally with first.
And that power was the Black Crystal Marquis family.
Using her knowledge from her past life, she successfully gained the trust of the Black Crystal Marquis family.
She also knew that in Tianyue City, there was another Rebooter.
This Rebooter, being from Tianyue City as well, was someone she knew a lot about.
She was aware that this Rebooter would die a year later.
So, it was possible that this Rebooter had no memory of the world's reboot.
Being self-centered, she believed that Tianyue City should only have one Rebooter, and that she alone was the true chosen one.
When it came to Qiyuan, she felt a surge of murderous intent.
For someone like her, with her special circumstances, it was better to have fewer people like her around.
Moreover, Qiyuan would die in a year, and without the ten years of memories, Wang Wei felt disdain.
"Follow me, and in the future, you might have the qualifications to enter the Seven Star Constellation," Wang Wei enticed the sniper with promises.
At that moment, the black-clad sniper's face turned serious. "What's happening? He's not dead!"
Through his scope, he saw Qiyuan stepping out of the car, which was completely unexpected.
He was the King of Snipers, and he had personally seen the bullet penetrate the car window. Even with a bulletproof vest, Qiyuan should have been killed without a doubt.
Wang Wei also froze for a moment, then a smile of disdain appeared on her face. "Looks like he's about to get extremely lucky."
An unexpected turn of events wasn't a concern for her.
She had prepared numerous plans to hunt down Qiyuan.
As for getting extremely lucky... that was truly a stroke of luck.
On the highway, a Dayun heavy-duty truck suddenly accelerated, making a loud, ear-piercing noise as it charged towards Qiyuan.
The Dayun truck seemed to have lost control, its speed suddenly surging.
The force of the impact was so strong that it could flatten a small car, let alone a person.
On the road, the ordinary-looking driver's eyes were wild with excitement as he looked at Qiyuan with a mix of pity and amusement.
In a nearby car, a male driver slammed on the brakes, his eyes widening in fear. "Oh no!"
He saw the heavy truck bearing down on Qiyuan and couldn't help but close his eyes.
However, when he opened them again, the expected scene did not unfold.
The heavy truck seemed to have hit an invisible wall, flipping over in mid-air and crashing to the ground.
The young man in front had completely disappeared.
"What's going on?"
"Call the police!"
Without hesitation, the male driver made an emergency call.
He quickly got out of his car to investigate what had happened.
In the distance, Kan Huan watched the overturned truck, his eyes wide with shock. "This... he's like a human tank!"
Although he didn't see Qiyuan's actions clearly, the fact that the heavy truck flipped over while accelerating defied science.
If Qiyuan was responsible, in Kan Huan's mind, he was like an indestructible human tank.
Such power could wipe out a squad of elite gene-enhanced soldiers, at least until they encountered high-precision weapons.
At that moment, on the rooftop, Wang Wei's face froze. "What's happening? The truck flipped?"
From a distance, she couldn't make out what was a website that provided information on various topics, including martial arts, cultivation, and other related subjects. It seemed to be a platform for sharing knowledge and experiences, potentially attracting a wide range of users.
She tried contacting the driver through a communicator, but there was no response, only silence.
"Did he flip it over? Did he take high-quality genetic potions?" Wang Wei's face showed a hint of panic.
"Impossible. High-quality genetic potions are strictly regulated. He doesn't have the qualifications to obtain them. It must be an accident, the truck flipped over on its own!" The black-clad sniper offered his assessment.
Hearing this, Wang Wei felt a sense of relief.
At the same time, she reflected on her recent behavior, acknowledging that she could have handled the situation better.
As a person of destiny, she should possess the mental fortitude to remain unfazed even in the face of collapsing mountains.
Peering through her binoculars at the overturned truck, Wang Wei asked, "Where are the others?" However, she couldn't spot Qi Yuan's figure anywhere.
"He... probably took advantage of the chaos to escape. Don't worry, I'll report this to the authorities. He won't get far in Tianyue City!"
The black-cloaked sniper picked up the communicator and contacted the other members of the Black Crystal family.
Wang Wei, gazing at the truck, allowed a smile to grace her lips. "Consider him lucky."
However, a vague thought lingered in her mind—perhaps this person was a Rebooter like her, favored by the world's destiny, making it difficult to kill.
This realization brought her both satisfaction and annoyance.
"He's only half a Rebooter. How can he escape my grasp?" Wang Wei's confidence surged.
After about a dozen breaths, the black-cloaked sniper spoke, his face clouded with displeasure. "Miss Wang Wei, Zhao Shiqi has ordered us to return immediately and provide him with an explanation."
The Black Crystal Marquis family was not a monolithic entity, and not everyone supported Wang Wei's collaboration.
Zhao Shiqi represented another faction, always maintaining a vigilant eye on Wang Wei.
This assassination attempt was carried out without Zhao Shiqi's knowledge.
Now that the operation had commenced, Zhao Shiqi discovered the deception and unleashed a tirade against the black-cloaked sniper over the phone.
"Hmph, it seems he's gone senile," Wang Wei's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Don't worry about him. The Black Crystal family isn't under his control anymore."
Wang Wei had long been dissatisfied with Zhao Shiqi.
She had already planned that once she achieved her goals with the Black Crystal family's help, she would deal with Zhao Shiqi.
Upon receiving Wang Wei's order, the black-cloaked sniper nodded.
"I'll give the command now. The police will summon Qi Yuan for questioning."
The law is a tool of the ruling class, and those who maintain order are merely the lapdogs of the nobility.
In this world, the more advanced the technology and civilization, the more entrenched the class differences become.
Hearing the black-cloaked sniper's words, Wang Wei's satisfaction deepened.
Once upon a time, she had regarded the nobility and the guards as venomous tigers and scorpions, but now, in her eyes, they were merely pawns to be manipulated.
This feeling of controlling others' destinies was exhilarating.
"Alright, we should head back and wait..." Wang Wei's voice abruptly halted as a familiar figure appeared before her, catching her eye.
Her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly regained her composure, clapping her hands as if applauding the newcomer's arrival. "How interesting. You managed to find this place. Did someone from my side leak information to Zhao Shiqi, who then informed you?"
Wang Wei's mind raced with possibilities, and she quickly deduced the most likely scenario.
If not for this, how could a useless commoner like Qi Yuan, only half a Rebooter, have found this place and possessed such confidence?
"It seems you've been in contact with Zhao Shiqi and even obtained advanced genetic potions."
Wang Wei looked at Qi Yuan, her heart calm as if everything was under her control.
At that moment, Qi Yuan stared at Wang Wei, his eyes revealing an enigmatic expression. "Are you crazy? You sent people to kill me?"
"Why do I need a reason to kill you?" Wang Wei faced Qi Yuan, confident in her decision.
Qi Yuan was taken aback. "You're just showing off?"
The woman before him was not only arrogant but also pretentious.
Wang Wei's emotions remained unmoved by Qi Yuan's words. She said, "As your fellow Rebooter, I'll make sure you understand why you're dying.
In the 16th and 19th chapters of the first volume, there's not a single mistake!
I'm killing you... because I am... a Rebooter!"
"So, being a Rebooter gives you the right to kill and disregard the law?" Qi Yuan seethed with anger.
Why did this world always have such chaotic and evil people?
If everyone were as orderly and kind as him, the world would surely be a better place.
Gun assassinations like this would not exist.
Even with grudges, people would only kill their enemies' families, not harm the innocent.
"It seems you only have a year's worth of memories and don't know what the future holds!" Wang Wei's eyes shone with anticipation and longing, along with a hint of malice.
"The future is irrelevant to you because... you have no future." Qi Yuan resolved to fight against evil.
This trend of street killings must be stopped.
Moreover, he, an innocent, honest, and kind citizen, was the one being targeted, which was wrong.
"After taking advanced genetic potions, do you think you can sit back and judge others without understanding who you're dealing with?" Wang Wei's expression turned sinister.
"Then do you know who you're dealing with?" Qi Yuan's face grew solemn, and his entire demeanor exuded an extraordinary aura.
Wang Wei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What is it?"
"Of course, I have a Mental Health Certificate, pretending to be mentally ill!"
At this moment, Qi Yuan took out his Mental Health Certificate and showed it to Wang Wei with a touch of pride.
"With this certificate, even if I kill you, I won't bear any legal responsibility." Qi Yuan puffed out his chest, full of confidence, and his eyes held a hint of murderous intent, "Now... I can kill you whenever I want."
"You... haha, you really are crazy." Wang Wei looked at Qi Yuan and couldn't help but burst into laughter, "You have no idea what the future holds! Dying at my hands will be your greatest honor in this life!"
In Wang Wei's hand, a blood-red bead appeared.
As the bead was taken out, Wang Wei's eyes were filled with fascination.
The nearby black-clothed sniper's eyes also revealed a hint of fear, as if he was afraid of the bead.
"It will be your nightmare!" Wang Wei laughed triumphantly.
In the next ten years, Archstar will undergo a significant transformation.
The biggest change will be the appearance of several spatial rifts on Archstar five years later.
Within these rifts, the legendary Immortal World is connected!
It is rumored that the immortals are incredibly powerful, capable of slicing through tanks with a single sword. Even the most powerful gene warriors can barely last a few rounds against these immortals.
The most formidable weapon of the immortals is their various magical treasures, which are unpredictable and leave their opponents defenseless! This red bead is one such ancient immortal treasure.
Wang Wei, using her memory, seized the initiative and obtained this immortal treasure, then proceeded to activate it.
This was her greatest advantage, aside from her knowledge of the future.
Holding the red bead, Wang Wei felt as if she had transformed into an immortal herself, looking down upon everyone from a lofty position.
"Unfortunately, the frog in the well has no idea what it's up against!"
She looked at Qi Yuan with disdain and pity.
"Is this your only reliance?" Qi Yuan looked at Wang Wei helplessly, "A mid-stage Qi Condensation... magical artifact, and you treat it like a treasure?"
He waved his hand casually.
The once indestructible red bead suddenly shattered into mist.
A wisp of Spirit Qi dispersed in the air, and Qi Yuan took a deep breath, "The amount of Spirit Qi contained in it is less than the burp I could make, no, I don't burp!"
Wang Wei's expression froze at this moment.
She couldn't believe that the Xun Luo Curse Bead... had shattered so easily!
"How... how do you know about Spirit Qi? Aren't you supposed to die a year later?" Wang Wei's heart trembled.
Five years later, when the spatial rifts appear, the legends of the Immortal World will gradually descend upon this world.
Due to the efforts of Brilliant Star, the arrival of the immortals will be particularly challenging and slow.
But Wang Wei clearly remembers that a year later, this world has no trace of immortals!
How could Qi Yuan know about Spirit Qi and break her magical artifact?
It's worth mentioning that her magical artifact... even ten years later, the most exceptional geniuses on Archstar who embrace the Immortal Way would struggle to handle it.
"Do you want to know? Unfortunately, I have a Mental Health Certificate, so I won't tell a dead person!" Qi Yuan looked at Wang Wei and took action.
At this moment, a gunshot rang out nearby.
The silent black-clothed sniper finally found an opportunity to shoot.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain.
"Oh, your gun missed, and you blew up the head of this ordinary girl."
Wang Wei, who was once proud and arrogant, couldn't help but laugh.
Her head exploded, just like a shattered watermelon.
Such a scene would make ordinary people feel physically uncomfortable and nauseous.
Qi Yuan's eyes shone with a brilliant smile, and his gaze fell upon the black-clothed sniper.
The sniper's eyes widened, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
He had aimed at Qi Yuan...
At such a close range, how could he possibly miss? He felt like his education had been fed to the dogs.
Just then, a snapping sound echoed.
The sniper's consciousness blurred, and his body slumped lifelessly to the ground.
"Fortunately, I have a Mental Health Certificate, otherwise, killing three people would violate the law."
Qi Yuan muttered.
He gazed at Wang Wei's corpse, his eyes growing deep with contemplation.
After killing Wang Wei, Qi Yuan felt that his connection to this world had deepened.
"Is this... incubating a gu?"
In an instant, Qi Yuan imagined a scenario of incubating a gu.
Raising a group of Restarters, letting them fight to the death, the sole survivor would receive a grand reward.
After killing Wang Wei, Qi Yuan felt that his "fortune" had strengthened in the realm of fate.
"Coincidence... or destiny?"
