I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game

Chapter 151-2: Abyss Demon Completion Project (2)

Helplessly, he could only click ‘Yes’ to leave the office.

[You avoid looking at the President, who stands by the door with its eyes closed, and step through the now-doorless exit to leave the area.]

[The President’s deep voice echoes in your mind once more. It tells you that this time you are spared, but if you dare set foot in the Multivision Association again, it will slay you on the spot without regard for the might of Omniscient True Knowledge.]

Lin Xun sneered.

Once I change my shell, how will the President recognize me?

Besides, all the scholars inside the association are just my various shells…

Lin Xun operated his High Scholar shell to return to the first-floor reception counter of the building.

He intended to open his inventory and review his loot, but decided it wasn’t wise to do so here.

He clicked the Resting Pages teleport function and returned to Bennetts Transplant Clinic.

Once he reached the second floor of the clinic, he finally felt the pressure lift.He had to admit, the President’s strength was indeed worthy of a boss-level opponent. Right now, he was not yet strong enough to take it down.

However, even if he couldn’t beat the President now, the High Scholar shell could serve as a good backup plan. Once his strength improved, he could always return for the President’s shell later.

He opened his inventory.

The first item was a map-type tool.

[Route Map to the Underground Abyss Cave (Map): Records the carriage route leading near the Abyss Cave. With this map, you can take a carriage directly to the Abyss Cave area. Of course, you can also travel on foot, if you can navigate through the mist and aren’t afraid of the unknown dangers lurking within it.]

Previously, in the Residual Illusion of Knowledge, Lin Xun had already experienced a journey into the Abyss once.

He didn’t know whether the destination indicated by this route map was the same cave he had previously experienced.

With a new area to explore, he immediately had a fresh target.

He looked at the second piece of loot.

[Knowledge Skill Scroll (Epic+ Grade Item): A sheet of yellowed parchment etched with mysterious characters that flicker with pure white light. By using this item, you will comprehend the powerful skill Knowledge Barrier!]

This was an Epic+ grade Knowledge Barrier skill!

Currently, the Yellow-Robed Bishop shell only has a Fine-grade Knowledge Barrier skill.

Lin Xun thought for a moment but didn’t apply the scroll to the Yellow-Robed Bishop. Instead, he quietly put it away.

The Bishop was gradually falling behind his current game progress. Using such a powerful Barrier skill on the Bishop would be a waste.

He moved on to check the third piece of loot.

[Ring of the Radiant Stars (Special Equipment): A special ring forged from fallen metal, set with a tiny crystal. Upon closer inspection, a vast starry river seems to flow within the crystal, countless stars gleaming inside.]

[While wearing this equipment, you will attract the attention of the Oath of the Radiant Stars faction. There is a certain chance you may be summoned by creatures of this faction, or they may descend directly upon you.]

Lin Xuns eyes widened.

What kind of death-seeking artifact is this?!

Currently, he was hostile to the Oath of the Radiant Stars faction. Wearing this ring would be like hanging himself, it’s practically asking to die.

Without saying a word, he stored the item away.

Finally, he examined the last item.

[Abyss Demon Completion Project (Document)]

[The very beginning of this plan was born from my discovery of a shocking secret…]

[The demons slumbering deep within the abyss and the starborn beings actually originated from the same species!]

[I do not know what is buried within that sealed history, but if such a secret were made public, it would surely shake the entire academic world to its core!]

[If I were to reveal this secret, I could become famous overnight and secure the position of Vice-President of the Imperial Capitals Central Association.]

[However, I have no desire to do so, not because the position of Vice-President is not tempting enough, but because by keeping this secret to myself, I will be able to obtain eternal life!]

[The abyss demon’s shells are extremely powerful, but most of their eyes have mutated or degenerated.]

[The starborn beings, however, have evolved in a different direction, focusing on gazing into the stars. Though their bodies have grown weaker, their eyes have grown ever stronger!]

[I dispatched High Scholars from the association to explore the abyss and retrieve as many demon shells as possible.]

[Meanwhile, I tirelessly pursued the starborn… Omniscient True Knowledge, please forgive my betrayal…]

[For only by cultivating the finest demon shells can I implant the eyes of the starborn!]

[…]

[The High Scholars have brought back frequent successes, acquiring numerous demon shells.]

[Yet their strength is limited, and several of my trusted subordinates have perished in their expeditions into the abyss.]

[My pursuit of the starborn was arduous, but ultimately rewarding…]

[I attempted to transplant the starborn eyes into the demon shells. At first, I believed the plan would succeed… but unexpectedly, neither the demon shells nor the starborn eyes were of sufficient quality to meet my expectations.]

[Thus, the project fell into a standstill…]

[…]

[…]

[As people often say, accidents arrive faster than planned. Reality proved the same. Just when I thought I would never touch that domain, I was unexpectedly favored by the Radiant Stars!]

[By using this miraculous ring called the Ring of the Radiant Stars, I can summon powerful starborn beings to obtain superior eyes.]

[And my luck did not end there…]

[Rona informed me that Maguire had died…]

[The fortunate part was not his death, but the secret message he sent before dying.]

[Maguire discovered an abyss cave that was not part of the original plan, where a terrifying ancient demon lay dormant.]

[Compared to the previous demon shells, this one’s quality far surpassed them all…]

[He bluntly stated that even if I personally ventured there, my chances of victory would not exceed fifty percent.]

[I ceased sending High Scholars to explore the abyss cave. Such an ancient demon was beyond their capabilities, it would be certain death to send them in.]

[Maguire never lied. His fifty percent was likely still leaving me some dignity.]

[I was caught in a dilemma: to attain eternal life, I would have to risk my very existence…]

[…]

[…]

[In the end, I made my decision. I will not be lost to the river of time. I will witness the birth and destruction of the sun, moon, and stars. I will obtain eternal life…]

[I must complete this project!]

[If I can acquire that ancient demon’s shell, then slay the summoned starborn beings to harvest their eyes and complete the transplantation…]

[I shall become… a god!]
