Chapter 108: The Two Extremes of the World
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The narrator’s denial convinced Feng Qi of one thing.
It had always existed in reality, but it had never spoken.
[Please don’t speculate maliciously. Your distrust of me makes me extremely disappointed in you!]
Feng Qi chose to ignore the narrator’s denial.
Since the interface in the future dream could appear in reality, the narrator could also appear in reality. After all, it was not a physical body. Logically speaking, it should be able to be brought out of the dream world.
Perhaps the narrator was deliberately not appearing to slack off.
[Stop your malicious imagination. Do I look like a system that will not speak for the sake of slacking off? Do I lack a few days of vacation.]
“You absolutely do look like one.”
[Pui! ]
Looking down at the gorilla-like domain creature that looked like a gorilla, Feng Qi suddenly felt that it was a waste.
If Suction Cup was here, this would definitely be a good snack.
However, he was still very far from the abandoned hospital where the Suction Cup might be. It was obviously impossible to bring it over.
He could only choose to give up.
Not long after the battle ended, the muscles on his body began to dissipate, turning into a blood mist that dissipated with the wind.
While feeling weak, Feng Qi continued on his way.
He had used Blood Source ability. If he were to encounter another domain creature, he would not be able to fight at all. Therefore, he was especially careful as he advanced.
If there was any terrain that he needed to cross, he would no longer rashly reveal himself. Instead, he would observe the situation before taking action.
During this period, he even climbed up a tall building and confirmed Blackie’s current location.
Just as he had expected, Blackie’s “love” for him remind. At this moment, it was persistently chasing after him.
This made him feel very helpless.
Blackie was like a plaster, tracking him wherever he went.
He couldn’t beat it, but couldn’t run as fast as it as well. It was even more ferocious than the chasing robots in the movie Terminator.
On the way to the abandoned hospital, Feng Qi encountered several more domain creatures.
However, he, who was already prepared, decisively took a detour after discovering it from afar.
Upholding the principle of cherishing life and staying away from domain creatures, although he was trembling with fear along the way, no accidents happened.
After a few hours of traveling, he finally arrived at the abandoned hospital.
He looked up and saw a thin figure squatting on the roof of the abandoned hospital from afar. At this moment, it was looking up at the blood moon and not moving.
The moment Feng Qi saw Suction Cup, he heaved a sigh of relief and immediately felt safe.
[Discovered adsorption automatic combat weapon. Do you choose to pick it up?]
Since he had discovered Suction Cup, he didn’t need to worry about whether there were any domain creatures nearby. After approaching, he looked up at her and shouted,
“Suction Cup, come down!
Hearing his shout, the Suction Cup slowly lowered her head and jumped down from the roof.
After landing, she swiftly approached Feng Qi and knocked him to the ground. Then, she automatically attached herself to his chest.
Rubbing her head, a smile appeared on his face.
[Adsorption-type automatic combat weapon has been loaded. Please drip your blood to prove that you are its master. Otherwise, the weapon might escape.]
Ignoring the narrator, Feng Qi stood up and walked into the abandoned hospital with the Suction Cup.
There was a metal secret door in this abandoned hospital, and he could not find any way to open it.
However, just because he couldn’t do it didn’t mean that Suction Cup couldn’t either.
He felt that with given her ability, she could completely punch open this secret door made of an unknown material and allow him enter to pry into the secrets of the underground base of the Scarlet Research Institute.
The abandoned hospital was already overgrown with weeds. Even the walls were covered in moss.
He couldn’t be bothered to look around for the secret door and immediately said,
“Narrator, find the secret door.”
[Ding! A metal secret door has been discovered about 20 meters away from the corridor on the left.]
Following the narrator’s instructions, he came to the left corridor. After pulling out the weeds nearby, he indeed saw the familiar pitch-black secret door.
Presently, in the middle of the secret door, there was a light flickering.
Standing by the secret door, Feng Qi gathered his strength and punched it.
However, the secret door did not even creak. Instead, it hurt so much that he grimaced.
[Host, please have a clear understanding of your own strength. Don’t do anything that’s inexplicable and insults your intelligence. If other systems see it, I’ll be so embarrassed!]
After his attempt failed, Feng Qi cast his gaze at the Suction Cup lying on his chest.
He picked her up and placed her on the ground. He pointed at the secret door and made a knocking gesture.
“Suction Cup, smash it!”
Suction Cup looked at Feng Qi in a daze, as if she did not understand the meaning of this action.
“Throw a punch at this door.”
As he spoke, he demonstrated again.
This time, the Suction Cup finally reacted.
She slowly raised her fist and clenched it under Feng Qi’s expectant gaze… Then, she imitated Feng Qi’s previous demonstration and gently knocked on the secret door.
[Hahahaha, I can’t hold it in anymore. Suction Cup is good. Her imitation was simply perfect. I’ll give it full marks!]
Looking at Suction Cup who had a blank stare, he was powerless to complain.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Qi clenched his fists and stood up. He decided to give a real demonstration to the Suction Cup.
This time, he didn’t hold back and punched the secret door hard. Immediately, his expression involuntarily twisted.
“Suction Cup, do as I say, smash!”
After staring at Feng Qi for a few seconds, Suction Cup did not imitate him. Instead, it suddenly pounced on his chest and attached to him again.
[Outstanding!]

The reaction of Suction Cup made him very distressed.
What should I do to make Suction Cup smash open this secret door?
As Feng Qi pondered, he gradually had an idea.
In the past, when the Suction Cup entered a combat state, it was because he had been attacked, so he could start from this aspect.
After coming up with an idea, he began to search for small bugs, small spiders, and other domain derivative creatures nearby.
After searching for a while, his efforts paid off. He found a completely red insect.
This insect was the size of a pinky and was completely blood-red. When he grabbed it, the strength of its struggle surprised him and he almost couldn’t catch it.
He brought the blood-colored bug to the secret door and put it down. Then, he extended his finger.
Just as he had expected, the little bug opened its mouth and bit down on a piece of rotten flesh on his finger.
At this moment, the Suction Cup was activated. Starlight instantly appeared in her eyes and gradually turned into a resplendent starry sky.
However, Suction Cup did not directly punch the blood-colored insect. Instead, she first pushed Feng Qi’s hand away before suddenly punching down.
Before her fist could come into contact with the secret door, the blood-colored worm lying on the secret door was already crushed to pieces by the scorching airflow.
When this punch came into contact with the secret door, the shock wave that instantly erupted pushed Feng Qi several meters away.
The decaying walls nearby could not withstand the burden and collapsed one after another. In the blink of an eye, this place turned into ruins.
At this moment, Feng Qi could only curl up and cover his head to defend, afraid that he would be smashed to death by the falling rubble.
This was the first time he had felt the power of Suction Cup’s punch at close range. He was extremely shocked.
He finally understood why the nearby domain creatures could not withstand a punch from Suction Cup. This punch was like a missile hitting its target. Just the aftershock was filled with lethality.
When the collapse around him ended, Feng Qi stood up in the ruins. At this moment, Suction Cup pounced over and attached herself to his chest again.
After searching forward and moving a few large rocks, he discovered a twisted and deformed secret door.
The weight of the secret door was unbelievable. He used all his strength and barely pushed it open.
What appeared in front of him was a metal passageway that went down.
As he walked in, the surrounding sensor lights automatically lit up.
After walking for dozens of meters, an underground square the size of a field appeared before his eyes. There were dozens of metal doors around it, and countless lights and images in the air formed a galaxy map.
The center of the square was empty. There was no device like a database, but there was an elevator at the end of the corner. There seemed to be another level below.
[I suspect that the design blueprint used to build this underground square is the same as the one used for Star City’s underground shelter.]
“Agreed.”
The structure here was slightly different, but it was very similar to the Star City underground shelter.
With anticipation for the truth, Feng Qi walked towards the metal doors around the square.
Fortunately, the metal doors here was not made of special materials from the outside world. He could knock them open with his spiked club.
He walked into the first room and the internal sensor lights lit up.
This room was about 500 square meters in size, and there were nutrition capsules on both sides. There was still green liquid inside, emitting an unpleasant smell.
At the end of the room was an operating table with all kinds of surgical tools placed on it.
Although it had been a long time, these tools were not rusty. Clearly, they were made of special materials produced in the domain field.
During his observation, Feng Qi also discovered that the bodies of young domain creatures remained soaked in many of the capsules.
However, these young domain creatures had already died. The soft tubes connected to them had already aged and dissipated into ashes with a touch.
This was clearly a laboratory for researching domain creatures.
After searching around, he left this room and came to the next door. He used the spiked club to break it open again.
The room was not big, but it was filled with all kinds of paper materials.
Many of the materials had decayed, and the words on them could not be seen clearly. They dissipated at a touch, but there were also paper documents made of special materials that were preserved.
He was very puzzled about this.
Since there was an interconnected network that could preserve information permanently, why use paper documents to preserve them?
At the thought of this, he could not help but be stunned.
Could it be for confidentiality? The Internet might not be safe?
If the Scarlet Research Institute was on the side of humans and knew that human civilization had been infiltrated by external forces, they would indeed do this.
Thinking about how the threshold to join the Scarlet Research Institute was extremely high
one would have to go through investigations in various aspects and they did not recruit graduates from any academy, he felt that his guess might be right.
After picking up a document, he flipped to the first page and chose to put it down again.
This information recorded the experimental data in the biological sciences. He could not understand it at all.
As he searched, a document caught his attention.
It was titled “The End of Human Evolution (Concept)”.
After opening the document, the contents made him frown.
Most of the content of this document came from speculation, but it revealed an important piece of information.
At the end of human cultivation, a crystal would be born in the body, and the structure of this crystal was extremely similar to a domain creature.
“So as long as we continue to become stronger, rune crystals will eventually be born in human bodies, just like domain creatures?”
absorb the spiritual Qi of
[I’m not sure, but after the recovery of Spiritual Qi, the evolution method of humans is actually the same as domain creatures
Heaven and Earth to increase the strength of their bloodline, so this conclusion looks relatively reliable.]
Hearing the narrator’s answer, Feng Qi could not help but nod.
However, when he flipped to page 37 of the document, his expression instantly froze.
The information read:
Domain creatures and humans are two extremes. The endpoint of the evolution of domain creatures is to melt rune crystals, while for humans, it is to produce rune crystals.
Perhaps this world is the same. There is the Yang side, but there is also the Yin side.
Domain creatures might come from the Yin side world that we have yet to explore. That is the source of all calamities..
