Chapter 230 - Enchanting Demon

Chapter 230: Chapter 211 Enchanting DemonJudging the time, other players would have almost all completed their respective tasks by now, the squalid street bustling with pedestrians, especially lively and busy.

Just as the GOC representative Bai Qi said, the rewards for this large-scale tremor task were particularly generous,

All players who completed their tasks were beaming with smiles, a joy of bountiful harvest, their bodies brimming with Strength.

The outward manifestation was that all the bars, nightclubs, KTVs, and the like on the street were packed to the brim, even the smell of spilled champagne wafting from the sewers by the roadside.

Li Cheng walked through the bustling crowd with Gray Rain, arriving at the headquarters of the Evil Science Alliance.

The headquarters of the Evil Science Alliance was a black and red building with a terrifyingly demonic aesthetic, resembling both the curved horns of a demon and the shape of some kind of spacecraft.

The lobby on the first floor was especially spacious and deserted, save for a few household robots shaped like pepper shakers over one meter tall, cleaning with brooms, mops, and feather dusters.

Apart from cleaning tools, the robots were also armed with rocket launchers, mini Gatling guns, Chain Saw Swords, laser guns, Electromagnetic Guns, and other heavy weapons, comparable to the firepower of a modern main battle tank company.

"You are the Ant, aren’t you?"

A crisp voice came from the front desk, and a girl with distinctive features walked towards them.

She had ram’s horns on her head, bat-like wings on her back, purple pupils, and white hair, a face that was pretty, skin a dark red, wearing a Renaissance-era Basque bodice, coupled with a leather skirt.

Her entire body emitted a deadly Charm that was higher than her appearance, making one wish to prostrate beneath her pomegranate skirt then and there.

Using goblins or kobolds for biological modification would absolutely never result in this effect,

Without a doubt, she was a genuine Enchanting Demon in the original packaging,

Moreover, unlike the modern ones with long, slender tails, she resembled more the traditional, beastified Enchanting Demons.

Her lower legs were backward-curved goat hooves, and parts like her arms, thighs, and chest were covered with thick, curled brown wool, her tail short and smooth like that of a sheep.

"I am. How should I address you?"

Li Cheng held his breath, rubbing his palms together, absolutely not wanting to shake hands with the counterpart.

What a joke, this was a high-ranking Enchanting Demon, who knew if shaking hands would charm him into a drooling fool.

"Just call me Hazel."

The Enchanting Demon smiled and tilted her head charmingly, her enticing eyes perfectly balanced between cute and sexy, "Please follow me, the president is waiting upstairs."

She walked towards the elevator with a seductive gait.

Following her, Gray Rain, devoid of a brain, was not subject to charm, simply eyeing Hazel up and down with a lecherous gaze, muttering quietly, "Damn, she’s so perfect, I can’t even create such a face and figure in a game."

Even Li Cheng was struggling to resist, in order to combat the pervasive Charm, he hastily activated the Multi-threaded Brain Domain Method and Immersion Acting Method, frequently switching between different modes of thinking.

But the result was... not ideal.

His moral role model mode of thinking lasted about five seconds before it couldn’t take anymore, exclaiming, "This woman is so terrifying, I can’t stand it, switch!"

"I’ll take over! I, a monk, do not have such worldly desires! Just an Enchanting Demon, watch me remain undisturbed in meditation, achieving states of formlessness and immateriality."

The monk mode of thinking shouted and took over, holding on for about ten seconds before breathing heavily and crying out, "Enchanting Demon, I want you to help me with my cultivation!"

Down you go, so much for a high monk.

Li Cheng was speechless at the bottom of his heart, realizing those modes of thinking were unreliable, and he had to depend on himself.

He quietly opened his three-dimensional storage, taking out a thermal imager, Electronic Nose, and button-sized electronic ears, installing them at his eyes, nose, ears, and other parts of his body using the Assembly Puppet Special Effect.

Sure enough, with a change in observation method, the charm exerted by Hazel was greatly reduced.

Although he was still faintly enchanted, at least he could now maintain his composure.

The three of them entered the elevator, with Hazel inputting the floor number 666, and the elevator rapidly ascended.

"You are a distinguished guest of our Evil Science Alliance,"

Hazel chuckled, "I haven’t seen the president this happy in a long time."

"Is that so."

Li Cheng paused for a moment, having checked the public information about the bandaged man, or rather, the Side of Truth, on his way here.

After going missing, he never appeared again, and there was no doubt that his wife and children were indeed dead, with the funeral handled by relatives.

In other words, the Side of Truth had permanently abandoned the mortal identity of "Bandage Man."

Over more than four years, step by step, from Lv1, he climbed to the global elite of Lv40, a rank only held by ten people.

During this period, it’s unknown how many dangerous trials and difficult challenges he went through,

and it’s hard to say how much of the "Bandage Man" personality he still retained after experiencing all of this...

Ding Dong—

The elevator stopped halfway on the 444th floor, and as the doors opened, a palm-sized Q-version Hell Three-headed Dog barked softly and jumped into the thick wool on Charm’s chest, wriggling and acting coquettishly.

Li Cheng pushed up the Information Integration Glasses on the bridge of his nose. Whether it was the Enchanting Demon Charm or the Q-version Hell Three-headed Dog, the glasses could only read one or two trivial pieces of information.

Their true strength was at least Lv20, or even Lv30.

Gray Rain, looking at the adorable Q-version three-headed dog being spoiled in Charm’s chest, swallowed hard, "Can I touch it?"

"Of course, it feels really nice."

Just as Charm was about to hand over the three-headed dog to Gray Rain, Gray Rain completely ignored the dog and instead reached into the wool on Charm’s chest, feeling it back and forth.

Li Cheng, who was pondering serious matters, seemed to have a question mark floating above his head,

Thinking, hey, it’s not about patting the three-headed dog, is this harassment?

Feeling embarrassed for his pet, Li Cheng quickly slapped Gray Rain with a chop, getting her to retract her hand, and awkwardly said to Charm, "I’m sorry, she’s uneducated and doesn’t understand social etiquette."

Gray Rain, unbothered by the chop, smiled naively, "Kids don’t know any better, just playing with it."

Through Li Cheng’s Information Integration Glasses, he could see that what Gray Rain was really thinking was "The Enchanting Demon wasn’t wrong, it does feel really good."

"No, it’s okay. I haven’t been to school either."

Charm covered her chest with one hand, her face slightly red, shaking her head repeatedly.

Fortunately, the elevator had reached the 666th floor by this time, finally easing the awkwardness in the elevator car.

"The president is in the office at the end of the hallway, just go straight ahead," Charm said, pressing the elevator button and descending with it.

Li Cheng and Gray Rain looked at each other, surprised to find that this floor looked like a modern office building, with black floor tiles, white wallpaper, and art hanging on the walls, showing no traces of it being the Evil Science Alliance president’s hideout.

They walked through the narrow hallway to the end.

The door to the office was half-open, and Li Cheng knocked on the door, only to hear a calm voice inside, "Come in."

The former Bandage Man, now the Side of Truth, was standing behind the office desk, "Sorry I can’t personally come out to meet you, I’m busy with this."

In front of the Side of Truth floated a dazzling nebula, with tens of thousands of Flame Demon corpses suspended within it, like ants in zero gravity.

And around each Flame Demon corpse floated even more numerous crystal Gouzhuang.

These Gouzhuang exuded strands of starlight, dissecting the Flame Demon corpses and installing extremely complicated and intricate mechanical parts inside them.

Modifying the brain, installing weapons, covering with armor...

Gray Rain asked subconsciously, "What is this?"

"Flame Demon Figure Army."

The Side of Truth, his face hidden beneath the hood, said with a light laugh, "Consider it a personal hobby of mine."

The tens of thousands of fully equipped and highly modified Flame Demon armies could easily crush one, or even several modern armies not using nuclear weapons.

But to the Side of Truth, it really was just a minor hobby.

He waved his hand casually, moving the dazzling nebula aside, "Please take a seat. Would you like a beverage?"

Out of the nebula, an automatic crystal Gouzhuang flew out, crossed the office, opened the liquor cabinet, retrieved a bottle of liquor, and poured two glasses of fragrant drink for Li Cheng and Gray Rain.

"Thank you."

Li Cheng took the glass, but instead of drinking, he directly asked the question that had troubled him for a long time, "Was this Electric Energy Retrospection mission arranged by you?"
