Chapter 84: Proof of Laziness

After a gluttonous feast, Wu Chang had swallowed the life force of 60 murlocs, bringing his strength value to 100.5 and his body size surging to 11 meters.

If not for the need to retain a certain amount of willpower to resist the call from the deep sea, he could have eaten even more.

What is the concept of a three-digit strength attribute?

If placed in the Moonlight Sanatorium, even Randy, possessed by Lehman, would be dazed if he took an elbow from him.

That is the case for a projection of an Evil God, let alone a divine messenger in a C-rank dungeon.

With one slap, the armor on the divine messenger shattered, and his entire body was embedded into the pier, transforming into an emergency exit sign figure with arms spread flat.

Through the tactile feedback, Wu Chang could feel that this slap had landed solidly; anything hard on the divine messenger—let alone armor and bones, even kidney stones—would have been crushed by this blow.

Yet, despite suffering such heavy injuries, the divine messenger did not have white mist representing life force drift out of his body like the other murlocs. Instead, after remaining still for a moment as if disconnected, he regained his vitality and struggled to climb out of the pit.

Can't play fair, so you're using a resurrection coin?

He tried slapping him again, and just like before, after a brief stillness, the divine messenger came back to life.

This time, he understood a little.

According to Ma Di, the pier in the Inner World was a memory of the townspeople when they were pirates.

Correspondingly, the murlocs were the former townspeople.

Perhaps unlike the murlocs, the divine messenger had never been alive to begin with; it was just a piece of code or a program existing to maintain something.

Just like facing a program that keeps popping up, clicking the 'X' in the top right corner is not enough.

Pulling the power plug directly is the way to solve it.

If there existed a core similar to a power source at the murloc pier, it was undoubtedly the statue of Count Germain.

This time, he changed targets, grabbed the wreckage of a wooden boat on the sea surface, and smashed it fiercely against the bronze statue.

The bronze statue did not collapse; it became blurry and distorted like a video suffering from signal interference, but after a brief anomaly, it quickly recovered.

After being hit like this by Wu Chang, Count Germain on the statue hadn't said anything yet, but the divine messenger lying on the ground grew anxious, and the speed at which he struggled to get up clearly increased.

Anxiety meant he had found the right target.

If the statue could not be destroyed from within the Inner World, what about attacking from both inside and outside?

Wu Chang's True Self raised the wooden boat wreckage again, while outside the Inner World, Wu Chang's physical body also arrived at the Brifer Pier.

He raised a large hammer in his hand, synchronized with his True Self in the Inner World, and smashed it toward the bronze statue of Count Germain.

Bang!

Accompanied by a huge clanging sound, the hammer striking the bronze statue felt as if it hadn't hit a piece of metal, but rather a transparent block of gel.

The ripples caused by the impact were visibly spreading through the air.

The ripples in the Outer World seemed to resonate with those in the Inner World, and with a snap, the bronze statue of Count Germain cracked, and along with it, the space where the statue stood also cracked.

The space shattered like glass, leaking out a gateway leading to the Inner World.

On the other side of the gate was his True Self in the Giant Whale transformation state.

The True Self ended the transformation and returned to the real world from the other side of the gate, and the gate connecting the inner and outer worlds closed accordingly.

From the fragments of the Count's bronze statue, Wu Chang found a miniature statue resembling a chess piece, carved in the shape of a little person running.

"Item Name: Proof of Laziness"

"Item Type: Special"

"Item Description: Holding the Proof of Laziness allows free entry into the special space—Murloc Pier. In the Murloc Pier area, you will be regarded as a divine messenger with the authority to judge the sins of targets. If the other party's goodness/evil value is below 5, they will be judged as a sinner."

"Note: When a sinner faces a divine messenger, their attributes will be significantly reduced, with the degree of reduction depending on the sinner's goodness/evil value."

The pier in the Outer World also counted as the Murloc Pier area; holding the Proof of Laziness gave him the authority of a divine messenger, allowing him to see the goodness/evil values of others. He looked at himself in the mirror, and the goodness/evil value on his body in the mirror was 20.

Clearing the backlog of mail at the post office was equivalent to him completing over ten days of work in one day, causing his goodness/evil value to surge, and combined with the bonus from his status as a town councilor, it pushed his goodness/evil value to four times the normal level.

On Brifer Island, he was definitely a genuine, great benevolent person.

Just a moment ago, the kind-hearted Councilor Xiao En had dissipated the resentment within the grievances of an innocent person.

Accompanied by Ma Di's self-destruction, the Inner World was breached, and the former postman's bloody last words slowly dissipated.

Although Wu Chang did not strictly follow the requirements in the bloody last words to really lock Ma Di up for a long time to see if Ma Di would go crazy under the state of being unable to work for a long time.

But he successfully imprisoned Ma Di and completely deprived Ma Di of his work, and since Ma Di's self-destruction with him was Ma Di's own choice, it was still considered that he had completed the bloody last words.

Completing the former postman's bloody last words earned him 1 point of energy, 1 point of willpower, and 2 points of inspiration.

Besides that, it also gave a bodysuit.

"Superhero Bodysuit"

"Item Grade: C"

!

"Item Skill: Image!"

"Skill Description: The bodysuit can adaptively change its appearance and size according to the user's requirements, ensuring the tailoring is perfectly fitted and the fabric is absolutely snug and comfortable."

"Note: As a superhero, a cool image is essential. You wouldn't want to burst your clothes when transforming and let your little brother or kitty say hello to the audience, would you?"

"Item Skill: Energy Shield."

"Skill Description: When equipping the Superhero Bodysuit, an energy shield will be generated based on the user's highest attribute. The shield can block physical and energy-based damage. After exiting combat, it recovers 1% of its shield durability per minute. If the shield is completely broken, it will enter a twenty-four-hour cooldown."

"Note: Being able to take a beating is the most important virtue of a protagonist. Even if the villain is killed by the screenwriter's plot, your health bar must be able to last until that moment."

Wu Chang threw the Superhero Bodysuit to his True Self, and after the True Self chose to equip it, it immediately transformed into a set of tight-fitting swimwear.

The swimwear fit the True Self's body perfectly and underwent slight changes according to the True Self's characteristics.

After activating the concealable mask, the True Self looked like a mini-form of the Giant Whale transformation.

The swimwear would constantly adjust the fabric according to the True Self's posture, ensuring there were no excessive wrinkles in any position. Observing closely, one could see the surface of the swimwear was composed of countless hexagons, looking full of technological sense.

After losing the D-rank item Earth Lizard Skin Armor, Wu Chang had been looking for suitable armor, and the Superhero Bodysuit before him had come at just the right time.

The energy shield was extremely practical, especially for a player like him who was extremely lopsided and had one attribute that was shockingly high.

With his 92 points of inspiration attribute, the C-rank bodysuit in his hands exerted an effect at least two to three times that of others.

However, compared to the second skill, what he needed more right now was the first skill of the bodysuit.

Not every transformation skill could be like the Hulk transformation, which could protect the pants on the body at the same time.

The True Self, having just undergone the Giant Whale transformation, although it had draped a black robe over itself in time after shrinking, was still stark naked during the battle, and even now was in a vacuum state.

If not for this bodysuit, the subsequent use of the Giant Whale transformation outside the Inner World would have been a sight too beautiful to imagine.

Crimson Courtyard, Red Wave Space, Dungeon Waiting Hall Lounge.

Lin Jiang stood up abruptly, ignoring the surprised gazes of the crowd, and shouted excitedly:

"The pollution value of the Quiet Town has dropped by 10%! I knew Jianxing could do it!"
