Wearing the contact lenses, Ye Fei Li found himself looking at a complete stranger in the mirror .
But this is only the genetic modification serum’s effect, it’s not very important .
The crucial point was that his eyes had become black again .
Gu Qing Shan’s voice came from behind: “If you don’t like black, we can just change it to a different color instead, how about blue?”
The shuttle arrived .
As they got off the shuttle, an acquaintance was already there waiting for them .
Tong Tong .
The young girl Tong Tong once cooperated with them to kill the Game of Eternal’s champion Liu Shi Man .
She’s also the 11th ranking assassin in the Hunter Association .
“Mr . Gu, Mr . Ye, please come this way” Tong Tong smiled and greeted them .
“Hello again, thanks for your help last time” Gu Qing Shan greeted .
“To be able to kill someone with Mr . Gu and Mr . Ye is my honor” Tong Tong smiled in response .
Her tone showed how great she regarded that matter .
After a bit of chatting, the three of them went down the main road following Tong Tong’s lead .
“Where are we going now?” Ye Fei Li asked .
“Mr . Ye Fei Li will be entering the underground black market to learn a few basic rules and survival skills” saying so, Tong Tong nodded to greet a black man .
They talked for a bit, then the black man gestured for Ye Fei Li to come with him .
“Alright” Ye Fei Li sighed helplessly and followed the black man .
“What about me? Where am I going?” Gu Qing Shan asked .

“Please follow me sir” Tong Tong said .
They walked for a bit more, reaching the front gate of a certain building .
Tong Tong stopped and turned around, smiling: “Mr . Gu, we’re here”
“This place?” Gu Qing Shan looked up .
A large stone sign was right next to the front gate .
「 Capital Academy of Theatre Arts 」
Gu Qing Shan muttered: “So all of you are actors huh”
“This is a very crucial basic skill” Tong Tong said with a serious face .
They went through the academy gate .
The one teaching Gu Qing Shan today is the undisputed number one theatre arts Grandmaster of the Academy .
After spending an entire morning, Gu Qing Shan was yelled at so much he felt like he just took a shower .
During lunch, Zhang Ying Hao came .
“Don’t be impatient, you have to learn to act as someone else entirely, the trick is to feel that you are him, and he is you” Zhang Ying Hao said .
Gu Qing Shan sat and silently ate lunch .
Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something and asked: “Did many famous movie stars graduate from here?”
“Basically all household names in the film industry graduated from this place” Zhang Ying Hao answered .
Gu Qing Shan contemplated something .
Before he finished his lunch, he suddenly left for a while .
“Where are you going?” Zhang Ying Hao asked .
“I’m going to visit the hall of fame exhibition for a bit” Gu Qing Shan replied .
“Ah, that’s right, there are many props that have been used by famous grandmasters on exhibition there, definitely worth taking a look” Zhang Ying Hao was a bit surprised, but agreed .
“That’s right, it’s definitely worth it” Gu Qing Shan commented .

On the War God UI, a notification was left .
[Spent 300 Soul Points . Remaining Soul Points: 5300/300]
That afternoon, Gu Qing Shan passed all the acting tests with flying colors .
Night .
Back on the mountaintop mansion .
“I really couldn’t believe it” Zhang Ying Hao said .
“That’s right, did you cheat or something?” Ye Fei Li asked .
“This is talent” Gu Qing Shan very shamelessly claimed .
“Now that you’ve graduated, are you going to be acting as your target right away?” Zhang Ying Hao asked .
“No, I plan to stay here for a while” Gu Qing Shan replied .
“Why?”
“I still feel a bit uneasy” Gu Qing Shan said unnaturally .
The shuttle landed .
It was nighttime, but a fire was seen outside the mansion .
Liao Xing was smoking a cigarette, squatting down to burn some faux gold . (1)
“For a loved one?” Gu Qing Shan asked .
“Tang Jun, a good brother of mine” Liao Xing answered .
“That name sounds familiar, I think he was a scientist or something?” Ye Fei Li asked .
“That’s right, his field was genetic research while mine was physics and chemistry . Since there wasn’t any direct competition between ourselves, we slowly became friends”
Liao Xing finished burning the paper, stood up and patted off the dust on himself: “Before, when I was being pursued by the 9 Lords, it was thanks to him that I managed to fake my death and got away”
Everyone patted his shoulder to console him .
That night, Liao Xing drank himself to sleep .

After dinner, Gu Qing Shan returned to his room .
A black briefcase was laid on the table .
[Sir, your genetic appearance restructuring serum is ready] Impartial Goddess spoke .
Gu Qing Shan opened the briefcase .
There were two rows of injection-type serums laid out .
The row on top was red, while the row below was blue .
Impartial Goddess explained: [To ensure your disguise is impeccable, I’ve prepared a few extra serums to enable you to use them at any time]
“Thanks a lot” Gu Qing Shan put the briefcase away .
He looked at the War God UI and said nothing .
Everything is already prepared, if there weren’t so many unexpected issues, he would be preparing to return to the space vortex right now .
An extremely powerful world was waiting for him on the other side, so he had to be as cautious as possible to ensure his survival .
But he still can’t leave yet .
The rain was still pouring outside .
“Impartial Goddess”
[Sir?]
“Show satellite footage of Baiyang Lake, Cangwu River and Jinyun River”
These were the locations where the Frost Calamity first struck during the past life .
[Yes sir] Impartial Goddess answered .
A screen was projected to show satellite images from above of these three bodies of water .
There was no ice on the water surface .
On Cangwu River, the military was retreating .
“What’s going on here?” Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised .
[To prevent the sea creatures from entering the mainland following the flow of the river, the President had personally approved these monitoring measures . The current monitoring mission is over, so the military is retreating]
“Dispatch miniature surveillance robots to enter the water and thoroughly check below the water surface” Gu Qing Shan said .
He was still uneasy so he decided to order a thorough search .
In the past life, these 3 areas were the first to show the signs .
A few hundred black objects fell from above into the water before diving deep under .
Even the deepest, darkest places in the water was being shined on .
The underwater surveillance robots had turned on their searchlights and began to move around slowly .
The investigation had begun .
Almost at the same time .
Below Baiyang Lake and Jinyun River, as if noticing the robots approaching, the gathered ice crystals suddenly disappeared without a trace .
They were either sentient, or smart enough to avoid the robots .
Cangwu River was the only place truly without any ice .
Impartial Goddess reported: [Sir, all three bodies of water are very large, it will take a bit of time to finish investigating . You don’t have to keep waiting for now]
“Alright”
Gu Qing Shan replied and went into deep thought .
In the small chance that it truly is that calamity, how long can humanity actually last?
With all the strongest powers of humanity gathered, including himself, there still wouldn’t be a way to permanently deal with it .
Even if I manage to find out about it early ------just what should I do?
Human power alone simply cannot win against such a calamity .
Never mind Reality right now, even the hundred millions of cultivated players in the past life still couldn’t manage to win against this calamity .
Even the countless Ascended realm players could do nothing but fight until their last breaths when faced with this calamity .
It was the true Apocalypse .
You can’t blame Gu Qing Shan for hoping for the best, because otherwise there truly wasn’t any hope at all .
