Chapter 360: 169: Chosen Idiot_2
So what the pioneers have to do is to change history as much as possible and participate in summons before the number of times they can change history runs out, transforming the future into a form that is beneficial to humanity.
Of course, this is a very difficult thing to do.
Many pioneers are of varying qualifications, and the mortality rate among pioneers has always been high, with new recruits constantly joining the ranks.
And most pioneers... they only manage a C-level clearance, which means they haven't changed history at all.
With a clearance below S-level, pioneers merely gain experience and personal development.
But such progress is too slow, and it's hard to say if it's enough to cope with the upcoming version 2.49.
This is also why Lin likes Zhou Baiyu so much.
Because Zhou Baiyu keeps changing history, influencing the future.
The countdown soon ended.
Lin, as always:
"Goodbye, little brother, I look forward to your good news. Perhaps on this journey, you'll come across an unexpected gain."
With those words, the two clinked glasses again.
After Zhou Baiyu casually put his glass on the bar, his figure vanished.
The new summon had already begun.
...
...
Version, 2.15, location unknown.
"Damn it, I'm still a virgin! Damnit! If I'm going to die, can't I at least be killed by a beautiful succubus?!"
A man around thirty yelled loudly.
Behind the man, there was no succubus, only three mantis-like corrupted creatures, running towards the man with their scythe-like limbs.
The man fled in panic, tears and snot streaming down his face.
It was as if he really thought he was going to die, so flashes of past scenes flickered through his mind.
"Crap, life flashing before my eyes, I don't need this crap!"
How could such a thing, that only happens to dying tough guys, happen to a wimp like himself?
The man's legs were already growing weak.
And the three mantis-like corrupted creatures were closing in, so close that he could even smell that distinctive... stench of the slime inside their insect bodies.
Just as the sharp scythes were about to fall and carry the man away, just as the man was despairing at the thought that he was only a step away from the platform of death...
The man heard the "insects" scream in agony.
He turned around sharply, only to see a handsome man, descending like a deity, slashing a crimson cleave that slew all three mantises in one go.
Dark green bug juice sprayed as all three giant corrupted mantises fell to the ground.
Zhou Baiyu arrived just in time.
The first thing Zhou Baiyu did after arriving at the summon scene was to observe the environment.
But he quickly heard the man's wailing, and without a second thought, Zhou Baiyu dashed towards the sound...
Any hesitation for even a second, and the NPC he was there to escort would die here, ending the summon mission prematurely.
Thinking that this wailing target might be the escort target of the mission, Zhou Baiyu was so anxious that he immediately activated Reverse Corruption.
And so came the scene just now, slicing down the corrupted, saving the mission target.
Activating Reverse Corruption consumes a lot, and Zhou Baiyu disengaged it immediately after killing the enemy, the whole process so brief that it seemed as if it never existed.
So what the man saw was another beautiful man, far too handsome for him to compare with, a godlike figure who came to his rescue.
"You... are you an immortal? I'm saved again! Hahahahaha, sure enough, I am the chosen immortal man!"
The man burst into a laugh of relief, somewhat carried away with pride.
Zhou Baiyu looked at this man, who was very likely the target he was supposed to escort, with a hint of surprise in his heart.
[Physical Strength: 90. Energy: 75. Morality: 70.
Career Level: ??? General Level: ???]
[You can spend some experience points to obtain additional information.]
Thanks to completing some minor missions previously, in this system of the God of Games and Entertainment, Zhou Baiyu had accumulated some experience points.
He decisively chose to spend the experience points.
[Name: Huang Miu. Trait: Legendary Savior. Other information is not accessible due to insufficient stored experience points; please trigger and complete more missions.]
What the hell? What's a savior?
Zhou Baiyu figured out that in the system of the God of Games and Entertainment, experience points are a kind of consumable.
By completing missions and accumulating experience points, you can level up, or choose to spend them to unlock more information in the Advanced World.
Of course, his focus wasn't on that at the moment but on Huang Miu.
A savior? This man is a savior?
Of course, he isn't a real savior; it's just a trait. The "savior" trait implies that this man will have a significant impact on saving the world. He is likely to be involved in major events that could greatly influence future outcomes.
But this doesn't mean the person who has this trait will definitely save the world.
However, Zhou Baiyu doesn't know this; up until now, he has seen many traits.
Including several on himself, which can quite be described as bugs.
But he definitely wouldn't dare call himself a savior.
Especially when... this "savior" has two more words attached to it — legendary.
In that instant, Zhou Baiyu became interested in this man named Huang Miu.
"My name is Jiang Xianwu, I'm kind of a Hunter of the corrupted," said Huang Miu as he stood up, dusting himself off, and began to laugh heartily:
"Oh, my life-saving hero, hahahaha, my name is Huang Miu, nonsensical Miu. I really didn't expect it, just now I thought I was a goner. If you had come a second later, I might actually have wet my pants."
"Hiss, don't mention it, I'm so full I can't take it anymore. Oh, that's a relief!"
