Chapter 1249: Summoning the Fourth Calamity
After reading the outline, Miss Luo Quan's eyebrows gradually showed a tendency to knit together.
It's not that this world doesn't work; it's because this world works too well.
To make the worldview grand enough so that players wouldn't run out of bosses to fight even after several major versions, the developers set up a very, very large number of villains for the game.
Perhaps this version just finished off a city-destroying villain, the next version is a nation-destroying one, then continent-destroying, world-destroying, and finally even fighting all the way into outer space.
It's precisely because of this ability to nest infinitely that the number of villains in the fantasy world is extremely vast, and each one is more formidable than the last.
With so many villains, this world naturally suffers continuous warfare and is fraught with danger.
However, because the planet is large enough, the several continents combined have a population of over tens of billions, plus the gods' favor, so as long as one's luck isn't particularly bad, living to adulthood isn't a problem.
"So, there really isn't any golden finger at all?"
Miss Luo Quan asked the system once again.
"That depends on after you go in; you are this world's creator, but if the creator herself wants to enter this world, she must also abide by the laws inside."
"Indeed not enough, so these people are just making a proposal, intending to play a leading role, while also calling on all top-tier and A-list actors to lend a hand."
However, after mastering this 'Entering the Dao' skill, it becomes extremely powerful; her body can instantly enter a sleep state while her consciousness enters another world.
She originally thought that dangerous situation just now might see some reversal — for instance, some great hero descending from the heavens to stop the war, or that she actually possessed some special bloodline that would awaken in danger.
"However, speaking of it, quite a few top-tier actors feel things can't go on like this and plan to mediate between the two sides, paying out of their own pockets to raise those screenwriters' salaries; the key is to resume production so everyone has food to eat."
"Worries? How could that be." Gao Liang took a sip of cereal: "Can you tell what I'm thinking just by looking at my expression right now?"
Went downstairs to make breakfast, only to discover Gao Liang had actually already prepared a bowl of cereal and was lying on the sofa eating happily.
"You know I'm someone who likes acting; couldn't get roles in Hollywood, so I took two in Huaxia."
"However, what's a pity is that after each life is used up, you have to wait several days before you can try again."
Miss Luo Quan rubbed her brow, her mood quite displeased.
These slave soldiers before her don't even have armor; with her mastery of swordsmanship, she only needs a light sweep to make them instantly lose combat capability.
"However, the problem is that right now no one can start work; there's really nothing to do."
"Besides, you can't even see the face anymore; would it make a difference if I acted it?"
Miss Luo Quan looked ahead and behind, and just as the two armies were about to collide, she lowered her body, dodging the first and most violent clash in the narrow gap.
"This indeed isn't a good job." Miss Luo Quan nodded lightly, "Relying on actors to pay out of pocket to raise wages for those below, while those capitalists don't need to contribute anything — what's the difference between this behavior and being a scab?"
No matter how kind the top-tier actors are, once that bright silver money is paid out, there will eventually come a time when they feel the pinch and grow impatient.
Just hope it's not in the reincarnation aspect...
If it really doesn't work, she can just restart and try again.
She can't even remember when she last felt fatigue; after advancing to the supernatural, whether physically or mentally, the word 'fatigue' has been completely foreign to her.
Unknown how much time passed; the white light disappeared.
Miss Luo Quan frowned: "So this golden finger can't even be used when facing a life-and-death crisis; doesn't sound reliable either."
Miss Luo Quan looked up in surprise, discovering two large armies were surging toward her, entangling her.
"Because this actor earns the most and has the greatest influence." Gao Liang crossed his arms, revealing a mocking smile: "I'm actually on their invitation list too, but until now I haven't replied once, or rather, can't be bothered to reply."
She looked up into the distance, discovering her surroundings were all tattered corpses.
From the marks on the wrists and ankles, this body's original owner often wore shackles; she was likely a slave.
This is equivalent to a business that never loses money!
Lowering her head, she discovered she was likewise wearing tattered hemp clothes.
It's just that each restart requires waiting several days.
Before she could react, earth-shattering shouts of killing suddenly rang out behind and in front of her.
Unfortunately, the kills she had just caused did not make these slave soldiers feel any fear toward her.
Miss Luo Quan opened her eyes, discovering she was on a battlefield covered in blood and fire.
Before long, a huge empty space had been carved out before her.
The next day, the sun was bright; Miss Luo Quan woke from sleep with a full face of smiles.
Gao Liang waved his hand: "Doesn't matter; if the effect isn't good, just scrape it off; it's not that much trouble anyway."
These are all standard protagonist treatment; besides Game of Thrones, which work would let the protagonist die just like that?
Although that mountain-moving giant strength of hers was gone, fortunately all her martial techniques and experience remained; facing the enemy's slashing longsword, she very easily dodged past it, simultaneously evading the man's weapon.
Although she dreamed of nothing in the dream, just thinking that she had such a powerful cheat in the fantasy world made her mood involuntarily pleasant.
"There indeed is a golden finger, and it's very powerful, but you couldn't use it in that situation just now either."
The system's explanation made Miss Luo Quan curious: "There's a golden finger? Why didn't I know?"
Within this faction's territory, the situation is often stable; people don't die at every turn, able to give her a safe environment to develop.
"I'm a foreigner; how can I play the protagonist? Unless it's like Teacher Liu, covered in fur playing a monster."
The first life lasted less than five minutes before ending in failure.
Don't know if it's because the world is too large and needs a long loading time; after Miss Luo Quan entered, white light flashed before her eyes for a long time, almost hurting her eyes.
"The Great Wall?" Miss Luo Quan's expression became exceptionally strange, "A Huaxia mythological film — can a foreigner like you act in it?"
Moreover, this is only the function at the lowest level; as her level increases, she will gain even more special abilities later.
Being able to hold on until now, honestly, hasn't been easy.
If not for her superb martial techniques and super-fast reactions, she should have been trampled to death by enemies and allies alike the very moment the two armies faced off.
A female slave certainly wouldn't cause two large armies to shout and kill; she had clearly descended onto a battlefield.
Unfortunately, Miss Luo Quan waited until the end and never saw a reversal appear, nor did she wait for the golden finger the system spoke of.
Simply put, after she enters the fantasy world, Earth's game players of the same time period will also see her in the game.
Miss Luo Quan chuckled: "That's a good thing, but only a few people willing to pay money probably isn't enough, right?"
Undoubtedly, this is indeed a golden finger that can be called a cheat device, and Luo Quan wishes to call it Wind Spirit Moon Shadow.
"How come you woke up so early?" Luo Quan looked at her younger brother doubtfully, "With that worried frown, you must have something on your mind?"
In the past, when sleeping, unless very tired, otherwise no matter what, she had to lie in bed for ten or so minutes.
After dodging the first wave of clashes, the environment around Luo Quan remained crowded.
The system's response was not much different from before.
With a weapon in hand, Luo Quan could truly be described as cutting down anyone who stood in her way, be they mortal or Buddha.
Therefore, the next goal is to be reborn into a good womb, striving for a place with more players, such as those few popular factions.
"Indeed, my luck is still top-notch!"
"System, wasn't it said there would be a random cheat device? Why can't I see it?"
Exiting the fantasy world, Luo Quan anxiously patted the quilt, then sat up.
After making up her mind, Luo Quan lifted the quilt and lay down on the bed.
As long as she wishes, she can go without sleep for over a month, running three marathons consecutively is no problem, her body's recovery ability allows her to rapidly recover from any exertion in Earth's environment.
"No, your sighing stubble has already revealed all your worries." Luo Quan sat down beside her younger brother with a cheerful smile: "You usually shave every day, saying you're the most handsome in the world and must always pay attention to your appearance.
Upon seeing her lack of strength, the surrounding slave soldiers let out excited cries, then surged forward and hacked her to death with chaotic swords.
By then, as long as the supply is stopped, everyone will be equally unfortunate.
Or perhaps it's because too many people rushed forward later, making retreat impossible.
She widened her eyes and stared carefully for a while, then her mouth also followed suit and opened wide.
Luo Quan sighed, too lazy to ask further.
"But looking at your beard size, it seems you haven't shaved for several days, surely you didn't suddenly become slovenly?"
After speaking, a panel appeared before Luo Quan.
Luo Quan, who had been displeased due to the bad start, now also became beaming with joy.
Luo Quan smiled: "But I think this is quite good, and Mia surely has different opinions too?"
"Where did this film crew come from." Gao Liang sighed, "Hollywood strikes have been going on for nearly half a year, now is precisely when conflicts are most intense, who dares to open filming under heaven's great taboo? Several unions won't let you off easy.
Luo Quan wanted to pick up her weapon and fight, but realized it was already too late, she could only be forced to rise and charge forward, lest she be trampled into mincemeat by those chasing from behind.
Although the sensation of blades cutting into her body is not pleasant, it is not enough to make her drop her pearls; given her current spiritual cultivation, her tolerance for pain is already extremely high, and moreover this sensation did not last long.
If next time she still goes to a place full of danger and cannot survive more than a few minutes, then she will have to delay again for several days.
It is equivalent to others playing games on computers, while she is using immersive holographic equipment.
"That is also true." Luo Quan lightly nodded, "By the way, you just mentioned broadening your acting range, have any new film crews approached you?"
With her luck, she should not encounter a disastrous start.
Originally thought she could keep opening the invincible mode like this, however after merely killing thirty or so enemies, fatigue began to spread through her limbs and bones.
"Just recently that whatever Grand Preceptor Zhang, he wanted me to star in some big-budget mythological film, called what... Greatwall!"
However, upon entering the fantasy world, her body instantly became even more frail than an ordinary person's.
This golden finger is truly not ordinary in its power!
After exercising this ability, she can connect the real world with the game world.
Most importantly, after entering the game, she can assign tasks to these players, and all the task experience and rewards she spends will be immediately multiplied by 1.5 and returned to her account.
Character is often conserved; having obtained such a powerful golden finger, Luo Quan feels she will surely have to repay it in some places.
"So that's why." Gao Liang stroked his chin, chuckling: "I saw netizens say, people who are in their twenties and already fathers still look like teenage puppies, completely immature.
With a large number of players coming to let her harvest them, Luo Quan believes she will soon be able to thrive in the fantasy world.
"That's how it is." Gao Liang took a sip of cereal, said: "They take the fame, we eat the bulk of the money, after they finish filming and wash their hands of it, the strike will still continue, and even because of this compromise, negotiations will become even harder to proceed.
Therefore, what kind of golden finger you can obtain must be known only after entering.
However, one cannot rush too fast, because the opposing side also has a group of fierce and vicious slave soldiers.
Luo Quan does not expect to clear it in one life, but at least she can play longer, accumulate more experience, and when she draws a good start, she can then try to gain as many benefits as possible for herself.
"Actually this golden finger is very powerful, but it is a developmental ability, needing a stable environment, and also has more restrictions…… forget it, a few words can't explain it clearly, you look yourself."
"You were too focused on killing enemies just now, afraid that reminding you would make you suddenly get killed by enemies, so I stayed silent, but in the end you were still killed."
These slave soldiers are more courageous than she imagined; when the two sides clashed, not a single one retreated.
So I plan to let my beard grow a bit longer, evolving from boy to man, this way also allows my acting range to be broader.
"I asked him the same way." Gao Liang burst out laughing, "I said my sister performs in the primordial era, she only dares to wear heavy makeup for supporting roles, even the first season she didn't even appear on set.
Luo Quan tilted her head curiously: "So then, what did the Grand Preceptor say?"
Gao Liang replied: "Director Zhang told me that the lead role of this Great Wall must be played by a foreigner, because he wants to use this film to break into Hollywood, and he invited me, this movie emperor, also wanting to add an extra layer of insurance.
It is said this film has a huge investment, several hundred million dollars, besides giving me an astronomical salary, it also promised that afterward it would help me establish connections in China, seeking capable partners.
"The most capable one isn't sitting right beside you?" Luo Quan looked at her younger brother with a cheerful smile, and said gently.
