Free Web NovelJust as Lu Yibei was in crisis, the first bystander quietly entered the state...
The sky was gloomy, the lead-colored dark clouds hung low, and a storm was brewing, with dark red mist drifting in the air.
On the dilapidated and crumbling rooftop, a white-haired girl, dressed in pink and holding a pure white giant egg, resembled a feminized Blissey.
She gazed at the sky, her crimson eyes faintly flickering with strange light, her gaze seemingly transcending distant time and space, seeing the scene inside Jiaochangkou Subway Station.
After a long time, she sighed silently, her gaze lowered, gently stroking the pure white giant egg in her arms, as if talking to the giant egg, she murmured to herself, "You say, in a game, if the boss is ganked under the tower, and as a booster, I clearly have a chance to support but ignore it, isn't that a bit bad?"
"But if I don't let her learn to handle this situation, she probably won't be able to reach high ranks on her own, right?"
In fact, when Lu Yibei was hit by the black shadow attempting to destroy Xuanying Luofu, and the urban legend' core stopped functioning, on the verge of falling into a coma, Chatterbox Girl was already preparing to act. However, she heard Lu Yibei's question—if all that was wrong, what was right?
The moment she heard this question, Chatterbox Girl froze there.
What was right?
She couldn't give Lu Yibei an answer, or rather, no one or any urban legend could give Lu Yibei an answer; Lu Yibei could only figure it out herself.
Lu Yibei's answer was the correct answer!
So, Chatterbox Girl decided to wait a bit longer, for Lu Yibei to come up with her own answer.
Anyway...
Chatterbox Girl looked up at the sky again and pouted.
Anyway, that guy isn't dying yet, is she?
The body reconstructed with Invasion Beast's flesh and blood, whether it was its self-healing ability or toughness, was many levels higher than before.
Lu Yibei had endured her body being crushed by the Hundred-Armed Giant's Power before, and now it was just a system crash caused by a minor "program malfunction," with a little fire in the hardware. No big deal!
"However, what I didn't expect was that Ju Meng actually possessed Power strong enough to contend with that monstrous thing... Fate truly plays tricks on people!" Chatterbox Girl suddenly revealed a bitter smile. "Is this what they call, good medicine tastes bitter?" freёwebnoѵel.com
Whether Lu Yibei had made a mistake before, she didn't know.
But she knew that, at least concerning the matter of devouring Ju Meng, she was probably wrong...

Mountain City 101 Building, also known as Mountain City Tower, is one of the tallest buildings in Mountain City.
As Ju Meng and the giant shadow fell into a stalemate, this tall building, less than two kilometers from Jiaochangkou Subway Station, was also enveloped by strong winds.
At this moment, a series of crackling green electric lights suddenly flickered between the signal base station antennas at the top of Mountain City Tower. From the shining firelight, a figure emerged, rapidly solidifying from ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) Void, and sat gracefully on the antenna frame.
It was a young man who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, exuding a sunny and enthusiastic vitality.
After "crawling" along the network cable for more than ten minutes, Bystander Number Two finally arrived at the best spot to watch the show.
That's right, the young man was Void.
Although Nameless Book had warned him not to get too close to Lu Yibei, he still secretly ran to Mountain City after leaving Nameless Book's side.
Whether it was the way Disaster dealt with crises and profited from them, or the battles between Calamity levels, these were all very important data for him. If he could witness them firsthand, it would naturally be more complete than collecting them from various sources afterward.
"Damn it, it seems I'm late. I hope I haven't missed the most exciting part, have I?"
Before he could even clearly see the situation in the direction of Jiaochangkou, just sensing the surging Spiritual Energy nearby, Void couldn't help but complain.
It's all Maitian God's fault!
If Maitian God hadn't brought down the thick fog, blocking the signals around Mountain City, he would have definitely arrived at the scene immediately.
Fortunately, the thick fog couldn't completely block wired signals...
After composing himself and looking out, he finally saw the scene in the direction of Jiaochangkou Subway Station, and Void's eyes widened, his face showing surprise.
He saw a chaotic storm with countless crows and sparrows weaving through it, and he also saw that twisted, eerie giant shadow emanating an ominous aura.
"That shadow... isn't it the Power of the Extinction-Bringer of Old Days? How could it appear here?"
Yes, he had seen that giant shadow before...
When he devoured the urban legend core of that Extinction-Bringer of Old Days.
In fact, when he hunted that Extinction-Bringer of Old Days, although he paid a considerable price, that price was still within his acceptable range. What truly almost killed him was the urban legend core of that Extinction-Bringer of Old Days.
The moment he devoured that urban legend core, invaded by the world's malice contained within it, his consciousness almost instantly fell into a chaotic state, as if he had been infected with a virus, completely out of his control.
And just as he was in a trance, he seemed to have a hallucination, seeing that giant, mountain-like shadow, approaching him silently with terrifying pressure.
At that moment, his Power, Spiritual Energy, and all his abilities almost completely errored out and stopped running.
At the critical moment, he could only use the last trace of Spiritual Energy to format his urban legend core, thus avoiding the fate of sudden death.
He had thought that the giant shadow was a remnant of the Extinction-Bringer of Old Days' urban legend core, a Power with a trace of self-awareness, or perhaps the strong corruption accumulated over a long time within the Extinction-Bringer of Old Days' urban legend core was at work.
But now, seeing the giant shadow appearing at Jiaochangkou Subway Station, he suddenly realized that his previous deductions seemed to have a big problem.

That giant shadow affected not only him, a urban legend, but also Disaster and the Maitian God Offspring.
If Invasion Beast had also witnessed this giant shadow, it could even be concluded that the targets affected by this giant shadow are all factors that destroy the world, as well as urban legend like the Maitian God Offspring, which can be called secondary world-destroying factors.
If that's the case, what exactly is that giant shadow, and where did it come from?
This feeling of not knowing the enemy's background made Void, who always liked to fully grasp the enemy's background and formulate multiple counter-plans based on the enemy's weaknesses, feel very heavy-hearted. But then, looking at Ju Meng, who was currently contending with the giant shadow and unlikely to be defeated in a short time, he felt a little relieved.
At least there's a urban legend that can deal with that monstrous thing, isn't there?
Even more fortunately, Ju Meng is Disaster's most loyal ally, and so am I...
An ally's ally is my ally!
Void thought, secretly rejoicing, when suddenly Netizen Laosepi sent him a message.
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "Void, I received an interesting piece of information here that I think is necessary to tell you."
Void: "Oh? Tell me?"
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "I just received a message from a group member, saying that Ju Meng's assets in Taoyuan are rapidly evaporating."
Void: "Reason?"
Netizen Old Pervert 00: "The reason is unknown. My group member and I also find this very strange. Those assets seem to have evaporated into thin air, leaving no trace."
"..."
After reading the message from Netizen Laosepi, Void fell into a brief silence. Immediately afterward, he heard Ju Meng's Power description, which came into his ears along with the howling wind, and his eyes trembled slightly.
A contender who refutes fate with money? Is it because of this? Void wondered. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Meanwhile, deep within Chunfeng Residence in Tang City, in the warehouse storing various antiques.
Turtle Elder, who seemed to have aged a lot overnight, sat at the entrance of the warehouse, watching the antiques on the display shelves inside the warehouse turn into dust one by one, his expression solemn. Tan the Wealthy and Liu Banxian, standing behind him, looked no better.
The antiques on the display shelves were either valuable genuine articles or Spiritual Energy items. It could be said that this warehouse was Taoyuan's, or rather, Ju Meng's small treasury.
Now, this small treasury was being depleted at a visible rate, as if it had been robbed, but the perpetrator was its owner.
After a long while, Tan the Wealthy finally couldn't help but break the silence, saying, "Turtle Elder, this won't do! What trouble has Lord Ju Meng encountered? Please tell us so we can brainstorm and perhaps find another solution."
"My old friend is right..." Liu Banxian echoed, "If worst comes to worst, I can help with a divination?"
"Get lost!" Tan the Wealthy and Turtle Elder shouted in unison.
Liu Banxian, "..."
"This matter cannot be solved by brainstorming," Turtle Elder regained his composure, looked at Tan the Wealthy, and explained to him, "Collective donations, however, might be of some use."
"Huh?" Tan the Wealthy looked puzzled.
"Sigh..." Turtle Elder sighed softly, explaining, "Do you still remember Lord Ju Meng's Power description?"
"Of course, we remember!" Tan the Wealthy and Liu Banxian responded in unison.
As loyal followers of Ju Meng, they could recite Ju Meng's Power description backward.
"This current situation, I'm afraid, is due to that phrase, 'a contender who refutes fate with money,'" Turtle Elder said. "Lord Ju Meng has probably encountered big trouble."
It's all that Lu Yibei's fault! Every time Lord Ju Meng hangs out with her, nothing good ever happens... Turtle Elder added in his heart.
At this moment, he inexplicably felt like his child, whom he had watched grow up, had been led astray by someone else's child.
"Ah? What should we do?" Liu Banxian exclaimed.
"Do you even need to ask?" Tan the Wealthy glared at Liu Banxian, reaching out and waving his heavy purse. "Of course, we donate!"
After speaking, he very consciously rolled up his sleeves, took off his valuable watch from his wrist, took a few steps forward, and placed it on the display shelf.
When he returned, seeing Liu Banxian unmoved, Tan the Wealthy's face darkened. "You old thing, what are you still standing there for?"
"I..." Liu Banxian opened his mouth, repeatedly wanting to speak but stopping himself a few times. Finally, he gritted his teeth, pulled out a jade bracelet from his personal purse, and placed it on the display shelf.
"Anything else?" Tan the Wealthy urged, looking at the still bulging purse on Liu Banxian's shoulder.
So, Liu Banxian gritted his teeth again and took out a palm-sized pure gold compass.
"That's it? Anything else?"
"..." Liu Banxian was silent for a few seconds, then steeled his heart, directly took off his purse, threw it on the display shelf, and turned to leave. As he walked, he spoke in a tearful voice, "Take it, take it all, just don't let me see it, I can't stand this!"
Watching his own property turn into dust and disappear, even Liu Banxian, who had been tempered by the gambling games at Dream Come True Entertainment City, couldn't quite bear it.
Watching Liu Banxian leave, Turtle Elder gently shook his head, stood up, and said to Tan the Wealthy, "Old Tan, you watch here for a while, I'll be right back."
"Where are you going?"
"Going back to Taoyuan to get something," Turtle Elder replied.
He had always been against Ju Meng's excessive spending, but this time, he hoped Ju Meng could hold on and spend a little more.
