Mastermind (4)
Teaser
“Do you want to know how and why? Hm? Heheheh…” The Mad Scientist raised his hands as he laughed wildly, “Because I modified this world, so I can be said to be this world’s owner. I can do whatever I want in this world; so what if I spread some cute diseases? Heheheheh…” “What… did you say?” Ling Chen’s eyes widened, and Fey’s expression also changed. Taking into account their experiences in the Mystic Moon world, they could both guess what he meant. “I might as well tell you my greatest and maddest plan because you’re about to become my killing machines. After all, I should let my successful experiments know how great their master is!” The Mad Scientist’s laughter became wilder and more arrogant as he spoke in his extremely unpleasant voice. “There used to be a planet called ‘Mystic Moon’ here, and I discovered this place before I went to earth…” This caused Ling Chen and Fey’s hearts to tremble… before he went to earth? The Mad Scientist’s words implied that he was not human. However, Ling Chen and Fey did not feel surprised about this. This was because in their 3 years in ‘heaven’, the Mad Scientist did not only display terrifying intellect and methods, but he also had technology that surpassed earth’s technology by countless years. Moreover, whenever he referred to ‘earthlings’, he was always quite dismissive, calling them ‘lowly earthlings’. From the beginning, Fey and Ling Chen suspected that the Mad Scientist was an alien because such a monster simply couldn’t have come from earth. His words were evidence that Mystic Moon was a real world. This was because the mad Scientist was incomparably intelligent and arrogant. He never allowed failure, nor did he ever lie. Even though he was incomparably terrifying, no matter what sort of crazy things he said, though Ling Chen and Fey felt shocked, they would never doubt what he said. “This is a truly amazing world. It has a clean and pure nature, as well as dense elemental essence. However, what I can’t stand is that the technology here is so behind. Afterwards, I found a wonderful thing in this wonderful world. I was originally planning on going to earth to carry out the ‘Mystic Moon Plan’, but this thing gave me a glorious and crazy thought… only a madman like me would have such a glorious idea… heheheheheh… “As such, I spent many years gathering that thing’s power, and after adding my incomparable intellect and methods, I completely changed this world’s rules… what the new rules were based off of was earth’s low-grade ‘virtual games’, making the rules of this world become like a virtual game: levels and grades, records and descriptions of people and items, EXP and other rewards for killing creatures, modification of monsters and respawning of monsters, and data modification of many things… it was simply too perfect! What was even more perfect was that none of the creatures in this world noticed at all, and even after modifying their thoughts so that they would welcome ‘players’ and give out ‘quests’, they obediently complied. It’s simply incomprehensibly perfect… heheheh! No less than expected from a legendary, godly item and my genius intellect, heheheheh…” Ling Chen and Fey fell silent. More accurately speaking, they were completely dumbfounded. Every sentence that the Mad Scientist said sounded like a fantasy, tearing at their cognition, making it difficult for them to believe what he was saying. “… What is the godly item that you used to change the rules of this world?!” Fey suddenly said, her voice somewhat hoarse. “The name… it should be called the Lachesis, and it is a godly item that even the glorious ‘King’ knows about!”
