To ascend, I had no choice but to create games - Chapter 134: 110: The Immortal's Bewilderment (Part 2)_1

Chapter 134: Chapter 110: The Immortal’s Bewilderment (Part 2)_1

Fang Cheng took the feigning dead No. 2 and the other two squirrels aside and said, “Alpha.”

The omnipotent explanatory robot Alpha appeared, floating beside Fang Cheng, and said, “I am here.”

“What’s the deal with these little fellows?”

“They are one of the indigenous inhabitants here, as well as a type of flora and fauna. I hypothesized that they have no impact on the overall ecology of the Botanic Garden, so I did not list them as a target for clearance.”

“Indeed.”

Nodding in agreement, Fang Cheng picked up the chipmunk and then traced its origins back to their source.

After casting an Immortal Spell, he looked at the chipmunk in his hand, frowning, and said, “Are you human?”

No. 2, who had been feigning death until now, finally couldn’t hold back and raised its head, saying, “How is that possible!”

“But there are indeed human genes inside of you. You are a hybrid of human, animal, and plant, and the three different types of genes have combined into a brand-new characteristic. It’s quite an interesting manifestation.”

Putting down No. 2, Fang Cheng sat in front of the three squirrels and began to sort out the cause and effect.

After understanding the situation, he said to the three squirrels, “This is your mother star, but as you can see, I have transformed it into a Botanic Garden. I plan to continue utilizing this place and transform it into the theme park of my dreams. Although your ancestors have already left this place, nominally, it is still your homeland, so that creates a cause and effect between us.”

Fang Cheng was speaking in Chinese, but by using Immortal Spell, he could easily make the three squirrels understand his thoughts, including the complex implications of cause and effect.

Sensing that Fang Cheng harbored no malice, the three squirrels sat down in a row and then looked at Fang Cheng, asking, “So, what is it that you are telling us all this for?”

“I don’t like being indebted due to cause and effect, so I need to deal with these. The more direct method would be to eradicate you along with your tribe, then there would be no cause and effect.”

No. 2’s fur instantly bristled as the squirrel puffed up like a dandelion.

Its two companions also erupted in an instant, each one without a doubt that the person in front of them had the ability to do this.

“Of course, that’s just a more direct approach,” Fang Cheng said with a smile. “Personally, I don’t like such simple and rough methods, so I can grant each of you a small wish. This wish can be for satisfying yourselves or for helping your tribe.”

At that moment, the three squirrels instantly realized something.

The so-called small wish mentioned by the other party was a big deal that could affect their tribe.

They had many wishes, like the genetic diseases that were troubling them, the issue of becoming plant-like.

Their technology needed to be supplemented; their flawed technology was insufficient to support the continued progress of their kingdom.

They also wanted to know their origins, to discover the mystery of human disappearance.

They also wanted a protector—someone who would allow them a moment’s peace in a universe filled with dangers.

They…

But they also knew not to be greedy.

They could not ask for something like “give me three more wishes”; that was pushing one’s luck. What the other party was offering was an exchange of equivalences, merely a compensation for occupying their mother star. Looking for loopholes would be courting death.

All kinds of thoughts churned in their minds; the complex tangle of ideas nearly brought their little squirrel brains to a boil.

Raising its paw, No. 2 tried several times to voice its wishes but felt that each wish was a waste of this rare opportunity.

Just as No. 2 was about to be driven mad by its own thoughts, their leader, No. 1, raised a hand and said firmly, “Please employ us.”

“Eh…”

Fang Cheng furrowed his brow, seemingly reluctant to take on the three squirrels.

All his employees were multitalented, each connected to him by destiny, each with boundless potential, qualified to become his Protectors.

These three squirrels lacked everything and did not seem particularly bright.

“Change it to something else, or I might consider exterminating your tribe,” he said.

“Don’t, don’t!” No. 1 shouted urgently, “Temporary workers are okay, or even mercenaries!”

Eventually, the three squirrels joined the theme park as temporary workers of temporary workers.

Their job was to check for deficiencies and to work with Alpha to observe the players’ reactions; when necessary, they also had to play the roles of staff members in the Botanic Garden to enhance its playability.

Though they were temporary workers, Fang Cheng still provided them with some decent benefits and also retained the right to throw them back into the black hole and never see them again at any time.

Having dealt with the three squirrels, the next issue was the black hole.

Due to the characteristics of the black hole, Fang Cheng had refrained from exploring the celestial body near the planet with his Divine Sense.

Now, after learning that the three squirrels came from the Mirror Universe and that the passage was the black hole in the sky, Fang Cheng thought it was time to check.

No sooner had he stepped into the black hole than the ghosts and goblins inside were about to attack, only to burst into a series of screams.

Fang Cheng had never imagined that such a multitude of strange beings could exist within a mere black hole.

Some were the Shadow Apostles described by the squirrels, others were fragments of unknown Demon Gods, and still others were oddities resulting from a blend of fantasy and reality…

These creatures converged in this black hole, cramming the space until it was airtight and instinctively bursting into screams upon discovering Fang Cheng, the Immortal.
