Chapter 304: Man can conquer nature

Chapter 304: Man can conquer nature
"We have to admit that although humans are a short-lived species, they have great talents that we, the long-lived species, envy. This is especially true for humans who have been blessed with the power of the heroes. Generation after generation, they have fought against the demons."

"The demons are losing ground, but the centipedes are not dead yet and can always counterattack."

"Until that hero showed up, he was simply too powerful. To use the current internet jargon, his basic attack was his ultimate move."

"Just slash by slash, we chopped our way from Yharnam to the Demon Clan Castle."

"At that time, there was an immortal elf in his team. He was a powerful wizard and provided him with a lot of support. In a sense, the two of them were a perfect match. But in the end, the hero did not confess his feelings. Do you know why?"

"Long life and short life."

"Yes."

Lisa sighed.

"The two have different definitions of time. The life of the hero is just a moment in the life of the elf. Fifty years later, the hero has grown old, but the elf remains the same. In the end, she watched the hero lie in the coffin."

"waste."

"??"

"I mean, that hero is a waste."

"Please don't say that. He just doesn't want the elf to be sad."

"Who said that? I mean, since you already have the power to defeat the devil and have defeated him, shouldn't you start researching immortality now?"

"Eh?"

"What the hell."

Li Zhongren stretched lazily.

"What a self-indulgent waste. If I were him and had such a powerful force, even if I didn't do any evil, I could collect countless methods to prolong my life just by using regular means. In the final analysis, he is just self-indulgent."

"No wonder you guys from Blue Star were defeated by the alliance. Your thoughts, realm, and perspective are too low."

"After so many years of joining the Human Federation, you actually haven't realized that the core idea of ​​our Earth Human Federation is that man can conquer nature! No one can predestined us. Whoever dares to do so, we will first expose it. God will kill God, Buddha will kill Buddha!"

"This"

Lisa was stunned..
Because she did think of some unpleasant memories, and at the same time she seemed to have figured out one thing.

Why, the halo of the brave warriors of the Blue Planet is ineffective against the Human Union?

The difference in strength is one thing, but more importantly, the people in the alliance led by Daxia seem to have this idea in their minds, so many negative enhancement effects of the hero's halo are ineffective against them.
"Perhaps, by following him, I can truly learn the true thoughts of the Human Alliance?"

After thinking about it, Lisa came to this conclusion.

Anyway, as long as she starts researching at the research institute, she will gain power continuously. It would be best to ignore it. Then, following this man on an adventure seems to be a good choice. Just treat it as learning.

outer space.

The spaceship slowly sailed away from the blue planet.

Looking down from space, the Blue Star is indeed blue. This is because their atmosphere contains a special substance, which gives people this feeling when looking down from space.

Li Zhongren stood outside the glass window, admiring the view from space.

On the control panel, Lisa was driving the spaceship and inputting the jump coordinates. They were going to another planet, which was also one of the spheres of influence of the Human Alliance.

If the Blue Planet is a research planet that integrates science and magic, and the Sapphire Planet is a transportation hub, then the Desire Planet is the most extravagant planet in the entire Human Alliance.

Star of Desire.

It is the most habitable planet ever discovered by humans.

There is a component in the atmosphere of this planet. Breathing it can prolong life, strengthen the body and prevent all diseases.

Therefore, this place was transformed into a tourist and recuperation destination.

However, absorbing this ingredient also comes at a price.

That is the rise of desire, desire in all aspects, especially between the two sexes.

Of course, for humans, this thing is not a desire, but a good medicine.

So, unknowingly, this place has developed into a huge place for venting desires, and all the entertainment activities you can think of are available here.

In short, as long as you have money, this is a paradise in paradise.

And the most interesting thing is that as the human population continues to increase and as desires continue to spread in this world, eventually, the world loses its daytime.

In other words, that unique component turns the atmosphere black.

Let this world enter eternal night.

But what is even more amazing is that the heat is not rejected, so except for the lack of sunlight, everything in this world remains the same. In fact, it is because of the loss of sunlight and the alternation of day and night that people who are on vacation here lose their sense of time.

Of course, Li Zhongren and Lisa did not come here to vent their desires. For extraordinary people, they are better able to control themselves.

They came here to complete a commission.

Bounty hunter, just from the name, is a very offensive profession. However, in theory, bounty hunters also do the work of mercenaries. After all, in essence, there is actually no difference between the two. They both do things for money. It’s just that everyone is used to calling them bounty hunters, and it has become a convention.

For example, this commission is of a defensive nature.

The popular female star of the Star of Desire, Meteor Shower, known as the Diva of the Universe, yes, her name is Meteor Shower.

She wants to hire bodyguards because someone has made death threats against her.

Therefore, her company directly issued a cosmic-level mission for him, which was only for interstellar bounty hunters, and they could directly accept the mission.

There are two tasks: to provide protection for the meteor shower, and to find the person who issued the death threat and the forces behind it, and to eradicate them.

Yes, this is how Meteor Shower's company handles things, using money as a tactic.

So, in theory, a considerable number of interstellar hunters in the current Human Federation have gone to the Planet of Desire.

Li Zhongren was not very interested in the work of pulling out the silk from the cocoon. He could use Li Huoying's abilities, such as Wood Release, but the cost was too high, so he chose defense. After his skills mutated, no one in this world knew how to defend better than him.

"Whoosh~~"

After the coordinates were entered, the spaceship jumped directly into space. It was instantly pitch black outside and nothing could be seen. After about twenty minutes, the spaceship left the wormhole. In the distance, a pink planet came into view. This was the Star of Desire.

Looking down from the sky, the entire planet seems to be wrapped in fog.

After identification, the spacecraft slowly landed in the capital of the Star of Desire, the City of Desire.

At this time, the pink mist turned black when looking up from the bottom.

It's really all dark.

After getting off the spaceship, Li Zhongren looked at the sky. It seemed to be a cloudy day, the darkest kind of cloudy day, which caused darkness.

It's vaguely depressing, yet also somewhat exciting.

He knew that this was the effect of the unique substance in the atmosphere on the human body, but soon, this feeling disappeared without a trace, because his passive skill had been activated, and all of this temptation-like nature had been automatically absorbed and stored by his body.

Interesting substance, probably related to the Outer Gods.

Li Zhongren thought to himself, however, what is certain is that the threat of this thing should not be great, otherwise the Human Alliance led by Daxia would not allow this place to become a settled planet. But then again, there must be some secrets here, such as settling enough humans here and providing enough desires, which will definitely cause some changes here.

He dared to guarantee this. However, if the sky fell, the tall man would hold it up, and it had nothing to do with him.

Walking along the way, Li Zhongren and Lisa arrived at Meteor Shower's home, a super luxurious villa built on the mountain.

Not only are there layers of security checks from bottom to top, but there is also an energy shield that is open 24 hours a day.

Just one word to highlight it: rich.

Of course, Li Zhongren did not see the meteor shower. He and Lisa were received by the company's agent.

"So, this is all the information we have so far, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Li."

The agent, a woman in her forties, nodded.

"This letter silently passed through all our defenses and was placed at the head of Ayu's bed."

"Then why didn't that person just kill Ayu?"

"Our analysis is that the person, or the force, doesn't want Ayu's life, but wants to make Ayu immersed in fear, such as harvesting Ayu's negative emotions? We don't know what they are going to use it for, but this is the most likely method."

"Now, how many people are around her to protect her? How do you deal with conflicts between different interstellar hunters in the execution of missions?"

"In a competition of strength, the strongest has the final say."

“Simple and clear.”

"Haha, after all, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, so, what are you applying for?"

"guard."

Li Zhongren spoke.

"My ability is similar to the aura ability. Within the range of my aura, all attacks will default to attacking me first. As long as I don't die, she won't be in any trouble."

"What about the range?"

"About a hundred square meters."

"This is good."

The agent's eyes lit up, the protection of several interstellar hunters had seriously affected Meteor Shower's privacy, which would be a problem over time, but if there were two of them, the woman would be responsible for close personal protection, and the man could provide protection within the area, which would minimize Meteor Shower's psychological pressure.

"Then it's you guys! As for the others, I will be arranged to be on the periphery."

"Then, the last question is, how long do you plan to employ us? As you know, bounty hunters usually don't stay on a mission for too long."

"The longest time is three months."

The agent pointed his finger.

"The company has mobilized all its strength. Three months is enough to determine the winner."

"OK."
-
This was the first time Li Zhongren saw a meteor shower.

He had never seen this woman before.

I have to say, she is so beautiful that even Lisa from the elf clan seems a little overshadowed by her. What kind of feeling is that?

One kind, it’s like this person was selected and highlighted.

Perfect figure, perfect looks, and that kind of cool temperament that reveals a hint of sadness.

It's like a whirlpool. Once you take a look at it, you can't help but take another look.

"So, as long as you guys are by my side, I don't have to go to jail?"

After a moment, Meteor Shower spoke.

The voice completely matches her appearance, icy clear.

"As long as the main guns of the Star Destroyers in the sky don't fire at us, it's fine. An attack purely from humans won't be able to kill me instantly."

"Okay, then I want to go down to the beach and relax."

"can."

Li Zhongren glanced around, suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and spoke.

"Why, did you find the problem?"

Meteor Shower went to change clothes, and Lisa asked in a low voice.

"Ah."

Li Zhongren nodded.

"The agent just said that the other party was not in a hurry to kill Meteor Shower, but seemed to be creating anxiety. Facts have proved that their guess was correct."

"As long as things are not resolved, Meteor Shower will be anxious or have other negative emotions all the time. In my eyes, these emotions spread out for a distance and then disappeared into the void. It is obvious that the other party has absorbed these emotions through some means."

“Are quantum states entangled?”

Lisa blinked her eyes. Even though the distance was countless light years, she could directly draw power from the blood copied in the research institute from the void. She could feel herself getting stronger every moment. The essence of this method was quantum state entanglement, so although she seemed to be asking a question, she was actually testing her companions.

She wanted to see if the other party could feel all this. If so, a showdown would be inevitable.

"No, quantum state entanglement is an internal matter, and the outside world cannot interfere."

"Her behavior is more like a special method."

"These emotions will only be absorbed after they have spread to a certain range."

Li Zhongren waved his hands in the air.

“So, I can intervene because I can define it as an attack.”

As he spoke, Li Zhongren snapped his fingers.

In an instant, all the negative emotional fluctuations emanating from the meteor shower were absorbed by his passive skills, and not a single bit of it would overflow.

"Okay, now we have the initiative."

"What if the other party gives up?"

"give up?"

Li Zhongren smiled.

"Don't underestimate interstellar hunters. For interstellar bounty hunters, wherever they go, there must be traces. Three months is enough time for them to find the murderer behind the scenes. Since the other party chose to start this matter, it will not end so easily."

"They will definitely try to do something to me and us. I'll stay here and you go negotiate with her agent. No, don't go."

"what happened?"

"Now, except for Meteor Shower himself, no one else can believe it. We just need to wait quietly."
