Besides 666, the Space-Time Administration also possessed another legendary figure.
666 had no failure rate, while Zero always completed every mission with the highest score. Compared to 666, Zero was the true gold medal tasker.
707 admired Zero the most, but she was also more familiar with 666’s deeds.
“The divine phoenix?” Fu Ke stared at 707 with wide eyes. Even at the end of the world, even in the Space-Time Administration, releasing the phoenix astonished Fu Ke.
“Aren’t you guys at the Space-Time Administration supposed to maintain order in space and time? Is releasing something that doesn’t belong in this space and time in accordance with regulations?” Fu Ke was curious.
She had already suspected something was off about 707, and now that she revealed she wasn’t Qiu Yinlan, Fu Ke suddenly understood why.
Because when someone else entered a body, the frequency of their spiritual vibrations also changed. She had never encountered such a thing before, so she didn’t understand what was going on.
The Space-Time Administration, the tasker, the divine phoenix.
Fu Ke quickly took in these novelties.
Fu Ke’s question silenced 707. Even though she had already left the Space-Time Administration and was no longer under their surveillance after destroying the communicator, she still felt very uncomfortable because she had just realized that the Space-Time Administration was not what she had imagined.
Sensing the sadness emanating from 707, Fu Ke fell silent for a moment. However, she glanced at the living room and said, “You just said that Zhang Zhongmin would survive and become a mutant, right?”
707 nodded. “As long as nothing unexpected happens, he should develop along the original trajectory.”
Fu Ke couldn’t help but touch her chin. In her previous life, she didn’t exist, but in this life, she brought Zhang Zhongmin back. She wondered if this would cause any changes.
“Forget it, let’s wait and see.” In fact, she still wanted to throw Zhang Zhongmin into the vortex of space to try, but the vortex of space did not appear now.
It was full…
707 looked at Fu Ke. “666 will definitely send the phoenix over. Do you have any plans?”
“I don’t know,” Fu Ke said innocently, squinting her eyes.
“But let 666 come. I want to see just how powerful this legendary phoenix is.” Fu Ke smiled.
707’s breath caught in her throat. And she stared. “Don’t underestimate the phoenix. It’s a mythical beast!”
Fu Ke waved her hand. “I know.”
Then she looked at the object around 707’s neck. “What is this?”
707: “This is a water-repellent bead. The Princess of the South Sea gave it to me when I was doing a mission in the mythical world.”
“Where did you put all these things?” Fu Ke was curious.
“People in the Spacetime Administration have something like a game backpack, with lots of small compartments for storing various items…” 707 explained.
“But I don’t have a mythical beast, and I can’t take one with me.” 707 sighed.
Fu Ke nodded, but lost interest. She’d assumed they all had storage like hers. However, their functions weren’t much different.
They could all be used to store things.
707 glanced at Fu Ke. “Should we talk to the people at the base about this?” She was a little worried, and seeing Fu Ke’s nonchalant attitude only made her even more nervous. She was afraid that Fu Ke’s underestimation of the Phoenix would lead to the destruction of the entire base.
“Who are you going to tell?” Fu Ke glanced at 707. “I’m telling you, it’s useless to tell anyone at the base. It’ll just cause panic and chaos.”
“The only person who can take command calmly…” Fu Ke glanced towards the living room. “He hasn’t woken up yet.”
“…” 707 was immediately frustrated. But they couldn’t just sit there and wait for 666 to release the Phoenix, could they?
Fu Ke stood up and patted 707’s shoulder. “Okay, don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”
“…” How could she not be worried? Looking at Fu Ke, 707 felt a little frustrated. Silently, she opened her backpack and looked through it but didn’t find anything useful.
Besides the Samadhi True Fire, she only had the Water-Repellent Bead and a gun. But these weapons were completely useless against the Phoenix. The bullets melted in the flames before they even reached the Phoenix.
“Is this the backpack you were talking about?” Having reached the twelfth level, Fu Ke’s mental power was even stronger than before. She could vaguely see the grid that resembled a game backpack spread out before 707.
707 looked at Fu Ke in surprise. “You can see it?”
This backpack should be invisible to everyone except the person it was bound to. How could Fu Ke see it?
“I couldn’t see it before, but now that you’ve opened it, I can see it. Is this gold?” Fu Ke saw something gleaming in one of the grids.
707 took one look at the glittering gold and couldn’t help but feel a pang of pain in her eyes. “Yes, it’s gold…”
It was a gift from a golden dragon. Actually, she preferred other treasures to gold. Who knew the dragon would insist on giving her gold? It ended up in the backpack and she never used it again.
“You don’t like it?” Fu Ke looked at her curiously.
“It’s not that I don’t like it,” 707 said with some resignation. “It’s just that for people like us, gold is completely useless. Now that I’ve broken up with the Space-Time Administration, there’s no going back. I guess I’ll have to survive in this world, and gold won’t be of much use to me.”
Unless it was before the apocalypse.
Gold is useless? Fu Ke’s eyes lit up. “I need it. I’ll trade it for you. What do you need?”
707 was stunned. What did Fu Ke need gold for? She looked at her suspiciously.
She was no longer a member of the Space-Time Administration. In other words, she had betrayed them. They wouldn’t ignore her and would do everything they could to eliminate her.
The moment she decided to destroy the communicator, 707 knew what fate awaited her.
“Anything? You just want this gold?” 707’s full bar held a ton of gold—a lot, but certainly useless.
“Of course,” Fu Ke nodded. “Anything I have, you can ask for. Food, water, or anything I can do for you.”
707 thought for a moment. Since Fu Ke said that, this gold must be very important to her.
“Then, can you protect the base?” 707 looked at Fu Ke. She didn’t want Fu Ke to protect her. The people of the Spacetime Administration were hard to guard against. If the mission failed, they may give up. But they would never let the traitors go.
707 didn’t know about the changes in the Spacetime Administration. If she knew, she wouldn’t be so pessimistic.
It seemed that this 666 was indeed coming with great force.
But except for Phoenix. 707 didn’t know what other measures 666 would take. Fu Ke tilted her head and looked at her: “I can’t guarantee this completely, I can try my best to protect this base.”
There was one way to protect the base: to move everything into her dimension.
But even thinking with her toes, that was impossible.
707’s eyes dimmed slightly when she heard Fu Ke’s words, showing a hint of disappointment. So she forced a smile: “Okay, but I have one request.”
“Go ahead.” Fu Ke looked at her.
“Help me take good care of Qiu Yi. I want him to grow up safely and have a place in this apocalypse.” In the apocalypse, the strong were respected. To have a place, one must either become a strong person or be protected by a strong person.
707 didn’t know if she could protect Qiu Yi until he grew up and could hold his own
But for that child, who had called her mother for so long, she couldn’t help but make plans for him.
Fu Ke looked her up and down: “Didn’t you say you couldn’t go back? Qiu Yi is Qiu Yinlan’s son. Since she entrusted him to you, shouldn’t you be responsible for his care?”
Entrusting Qiu Yi to her gave Fu Ke the feeling that 707 was making arrangements for his final care.
The fluctuations of mental power were undeniable, and 707 was in a very pessimistic mood.
“This is one of the conditions for exchanging gold.” 707 pursed her lips, her black pupils calm. But her mental power was fluctuating greatly, and even Fu Ke didn’t know the reason.
She knew she didn’t want to say it, but with a ton of gold as an inducement, Fu Ke readily agreed.
She agreed, and 707 breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on her face: “How can I give it to you?”
“Just take it out.” Fu Ke looked at her room, which seemed a little small.
“Just put it here?” 707 looked at the relatively small room and hesitated.
Fu Ke waved her hand: “Just take it out.”
Since she said so, 707 naturally had no objection and took all the gold out of her backpack. The moment the gold appeared, it disappeared.
707 was stunned. There was no gold in her backpack. And there was not even a ton of gold in the room? She looked at Fu Ke, who was not surprised at all.
“Are you a space-based psychic?” After a moment’s thought, it wasn’t right: “No, you’re a dual-powered psychic with both the water and space abilities!”
Fu Ke smiled. Space wasn’t her ability, but this space had indeed recognized her as its master. Fu Ke didn’t explain anything.
Seeing Fu Ke’s smile and silence, 707 felt even more relieved. Space-based psychics were good, space-based psychics. With Fu Ke’s strength, she would probably just look down on Qiu Yi’s weak space abilities.
“Qiu Yi is also a space-based psychic. He’s a dual-powered psychic with both the wood and space abilities.” Fu Ke had known he was a wood-based psychic before, and 707 couldn’t tell if Fu Ke knew Qiu Yi also had space abilities.
As daylight dawned, 707 looked around and said, “I’m going back.”
“Wait. Is it okay for you to just go back like this?” Fu Ke wasn’t surprised to hear Qiu Yi was a dual-powered psychic. But when she heard 707 say she was going back, she spoke.
707 glanced at Fu Ke.
Fu Ke smiled and said, “Let’s go. I’ll go with you.”
Everyone knew she was a water-type psychic. But 707 was a fire-type psychic, and it would be strange for her to walk so ostentatiously, even letting the rain avoid her.
“When I came out, the gatekeeper saw me…” 707 was completely focused on finding Fu Ke.
“I’ll go in with you, and you can just blame it on me.” She was no stranger to this kind of ‘remote’ manipulation.
As long as Fu Ke and 707 went in together, there wouldn’t be any need for 707 to explain; many people would immediately understand and automatically make excuses for her.
“Thank you,” 707 said earnestly, looking at Fu Ke with a complicated expression.
“No, I’m going there anyway.”
….
“The tofu is stinky, the meat is overcooked and are these just vegetables or dried vegetables?” 666 looked at the dishes in front of him, picked at it with his chopsticks, and said with disdain, not taking a single bite.
With every word 666 said, Cheng Hai’s face darkened, his lips trembling with fear.
