The unhappy Big Shot Deep Shadow received the organized information from Zong Xiaoping.

Judging from the timeline, it was normal for Deep Shadow to have no impression of Chronicle of the World. Chronicle of the World climbed onto the leaderboard later. When he was hovering in the top hundred, Deep Shadow had already been sitting in the first position for a long time, thinking every day about how to leave this wicked world of Infinite, with no energy to pay attention to newcomers climbing up the leaderboard.

Some people might think climbing onto the top hundred leaderboard was a remarkable thing.

Ranking in the top hundred among Infinite’s vast ocean of players was indeed quite remarkable, but as long as one watched the rotation speed of names on this top hundred list, one would discover that this “remarkable” was just a meaningless castle in the air.

Didn’t the ones once ranked second and third also fall in a single mission?

Zhuo Xun: “When Chronicle of the World rushed up, it was quite eye-catching. He jumped from not being on the list straight to forty-third place. At the same time, eight names fell off the list.

“These people entered the same mission dungeon as him, all died inside, only he came out alive, and after coming out, he jumped directly to forty-third.”

This situation wasn’t common in Infinite either. Mindful people marked Chronicle of the World’s name as a key point—who knew how those people died, and how Chronicle of the World’s ranking jumped up?

If one encountered this person in a dungeon, one had to be careful.

Zong Xiaoping organized the abilities Chronicle of the World had exposed and various reliable and unreliable rumors, complete and clearly structured.

When handing the information to Zhuo Xun, he asked: “Brother Zhuo, did this Chronicle of the World survive? He doesn’t seem to be in our alliance.”

“Of course not. Not all players will join our alliance.” Zhuo Xun said casually while flipping through the information organized by Zong Xiaoping.

Among these players, some joined the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau, some maintained contact with the Wan Yao Alliance, and some hoped to sever ties with the past, completely avoiding contact with any supernatural forces. Those players in their Retired Alliance were just pitiful wretches who couldn’t trust other organizations and couldn’t sever the shadow of the past, so they huddled together for warmth.

Ah right, maybe there were some guys who missed the past or thought they could get benefits from Infinite.

Just didn’t know which kind this Chronicle of the World belonged to.

Zhuo Xun finished flipping through the information organized by Zong Xiaoping, very detailed and clear.

He praised: “Done really well, didn’t expect you had this skill.”

Zong Xiaoping touched his head embarrassedly and chuckled: “It’s okay, I’m reasonably good at organizing information.”

Zhuo Xun suddenly changed his face: “Then why didn’t I see you organize information so well when working for me before?”

Zong Xiaoping: “This, that… daily part-time work and working for… are of course different.”

Work, isn’t it enough to just get it done…

He quickly mumbled over the word “idol”. But what kind of hearing did Zhuo Xun have?

“Zhuo Brother Brother Brother Brother! Don’t hit me—ow!”

Zong Xiaoping scrambled away with his head in his hands, fleeing the office.

Zhuo Xun slammed the door angrily.

Isn’t it just being a fan of Deep Shadow? Fan if you want, but hiding it. For so many years, surprisingly no one knew.

Zhuo Xun sent the information Zong Xiaoping worked hard to organize to Deep Shadow, then complained about Zong Xiaoping in a small group formed with familiar people in the alliance.

Today Also Want to Abdicate to the Worthy: “Last time Deep Shadow came to the alliance, I felt something was wrong with this kid. Hiding and tucking all day, if I hadn’t seen through it today, don’t know how long he planned to hold it in.”

“What’s so good about being a fan of Deep Shadow? Dangerous from afar, arrogant and proud up close. Aren’t you nervous dealing with him?”

Turn Over Just to Sunbathe: “Can’t say that.”

“Deep Shadow is strong; it’s normal for young people to admire strength.”

Before Zhuo Xun could complain about that “young person”, someone replied in the group again.

Can’t Get Up Early at All: “We sheltered under his name for quite a few years after all.”

What to Eat Tonight: “And twenty-six years ago, we all saw Deep Shadow hard-countering Infinite.”

“It’s normal for everyone to have some admiration.”

Zhuo Xun realized belatedly.

Today Also Want to Abdicate to the Worthy: “Wait wait wait.”

“What’s going on?”

“Are you all fans of Deep Shadow?!”

Leader Zhuo asked around in the alliance, laughing to death, fifty percent Deep Shadow fans.

What was the point of him being this leader? Might as well rename the Retired Alliance to Deep Shadow Fan Club!

Today Also Want to Abdicate to the Worthy: “Don’t want to do it anymore.”

Turn Over Just to Sunbathe: “Brother Zhuo, Brother Zhuo, don’t.”

“It’s normal for everyone to appreciate Deep Shadow, don’t you appreciate him too?”

Back in Infinite, everyone hoped to see someone break away from Infinite. Deep Shadow stayed in the first place for many years, known as the person with the most hope of breaking away from Infinite.

They longed to see Deep Shadow successfully break away from Infinite so they could see hope for themselves breaking away from Infinite in him. This pinning of hope inevitably caused transference of affection.

But there were also many people afraid of Deep Shadow back then. At that time, Deep Shadow’s reputation in Infinite was notoriously cold and fierce, and this big shot was too crazy, with a tendency to become crazier.

In the early years, Deep Shadow wasn’t a lone ranger; he had very close teammates, the kind who went through many life-and-death moments together.

Later in a five-star high-risk dungeon, everyone died except Deep Shadow. It was said Deep Shadow sacrificed everyone in that dungeon to come out alive himself. Such things were common in Infinite.

No one knew the truth of the rumors; anyway, since then, Deep Shadow never looked for teammates again.

No matter how deep the hope pinned on Deep Shadow was, they knew that if they encountered Deep Shadow in a dungeon, it was best to stay far away from this big shot. Don’t expect him to give care for the sake of fans; dodging far enough not to be affected was good enough.

So most people’s feelings for Deep Shadow were relatively restrained, just a hope sustenance for leaving Infinite.

But now, they were all people liberated by that war twenty-six years ago.

Back then, Deep Shadow seized the opportunity to tear Infinite apart from the inside. They saw another world from that torn gap. Swaying stars, looming giant scales and claws, lightning, flames…

Zhuo Xun saw Deep Shadow rush out, and amidst the panic in the great change, envy was born.

“He broke free…”

Really good.

Really hope I can break free too.

Really want…

Zhuo Xun snapped out of it after a glance. Deep Shadow was free, but he still had to find a way to survive the great change.

He roared at the people in the team, telling them to stop looking and run out of this dungeon quickly.

Everyone moved, only Zong Xiaoping stood there foolishly.

He grabbed this fool to dodge a falling boulder, about to scold.

Zong Xiaoping pointed at the sky and said to him: “Brother Zhuo look, what is he doing?”

Zhuo Xun had never seen such an expression on Zong Xiaoping, so he looked up, then showed the same expression as Zong Xiaoping.

He saw Deep Shadow turn around and rush back, rushing towards Infinite’s core without hesitation as if seeking death.

They were lucky to survive this great change, free from this nightmare due to Infinite’s demise, and taken in by this world.

But Deep Shadow was probably dead—which player could survive after colliding with Infinite’s core? Big shots of this world might, but they were players, all abilities came from trading with Infinite. They were countered by Infinite too severely.

Players who finally got rid of Infinite even mourned for Big Shot Deep Shadow once. Just after mourning, they heard the news that Deep Shadow wasn’t dead. Not only was he not dead, but he also became a wanted criminal of the three major forces in this world.

Zhuo Xun immediately stopped mourning and plotted how to use Deep Shadow’s name to make his small Retired Alliance get by easier.

What to Eat Tonight: “Back then, everyone was somewhat afraid of Deep Shadow’s mental state.”

“Now he’s been to our alliance, aftereffects resolved, not hard to contact.”

“What’s there to worry about now? Isn’t it just being a fan of an idol?”

Zhuo Xun was silent.

Not hard to contact.

Hehe not hard to contact.

Turns out it wasn’t you guys contacting Deep Shadow, right?

Do you know how shamelessly I begged to get Deep Shadow’s contact information back then?!

You bunch of guys who only enjoy the fruits of others’ labor!

Others were desperately persuading their leader not to abdicate.

—If Zhuo Xun abdicated, how could they lie flat?

Zhuo Xun was full of silent curses when he received Deep Shadow’s reply.

Deep Shadow: “Thanks, the information is very complete.”

Gu Jiancheng just finished reading the information. The level of detail showed it was organized with care.

Zhuo Xun stared at the two words Deep Shadow replied, feeling a burst of self-satisfaction in his heart. After being satisfied for a while, he realized.

Pah! Wrong, isn’t it just Deep Shadow saying thanks? What is he proud of? Why behave like a praised child!

Zhuo Xun: “Why investigate Chronicle of the World?”

Deep Shadow: “Asking for someone else.”

Asking for someone else? Who? Which person could make Deep Shadow help investigate news?

Gu Jiancheng didn’t know he had a pile of fans in the Retired Alliance yet. He forwarded the information to Approaching Science.

I Just Saved the World!: “Why investigate Chronicle of the World?”

Zhan Yan was flipping through the information, just saw the twenty-first ranking.

Didn’t even remember the twenty-first… Big Shot Deep Shadow’s memory is worrying.

Approaching Science: “I asked someone to help investigate the Monster Doctor, and traced to Chronicle of the World.”

“They cooperated, later fell out.”

“Those growth-type anomalies on the internet were all researched by Chronicle of the World.”

“The person helping me investigate said they recently found traces of the Monster Doctor on the internet.”

Gu Jiancheng frowned slightly. According to his understanding of the Monster Doctor, this guy’s ability had nothing to do with the internet. If he fell out with Chronicle of the World, he shouldn’t be hiding in the internet.

Maybe they cooperated again, or maybe he obtained network-type abilities through some method.

If the Monster Doctor hid in the internet, he really wasn’t easy to catch. Gu Jiancheng had absolutely no network-type abilities.

Know-It-All was a network type; had to remind him.

Gu Jiancheng went to contact Know-It-All.

Know-It-All’s auto-reply: “Hello, the user you dialed is creating a world, please dial later.”

Gu Jiancheng: …What the hell?

Oh, he remembered. Know-It-All said before that the game he made was finished and would be tested recently, might not have time.

That game was made by him and another network-type superpowered person. They used superpowers to build a virtual world. To ordinary people, it was an ordinary game, but for network-type superpowered people, this was a second world accessible via superpowers.

Now that the game was finished, they had to test it with superpowers first. During this period, the two couldn’t contact the outside world.

Finding the Monster Doctor wasn’t urgent at this moment. Gu Jiancheng left a message for Know-It-All and decided to go find trouble for Infinite and anomalies first. His shadow clone had arrived at Zifeng Valley.

At the same time, Zhan Jinli, wearing the Linyuan Ghost King persona, held a sprig of drunken fish grass, following the yin qi faintly guiding the way on it, stepped out from the yin road and entered Zifeng Valley.
