Chapter 36: The Immortal Lapis-Gold Body (Patreon)

The Yaoqing Xianzhou once again welcomed a great victory.

After a satisfying slaughter, Feixiao had also calmed down—temporarily, of course.

Since the war was not yet over, as a leading general, she naturally couldn't abandon her post. Feixiao could only temporarily suppress the thought of causing trouble for Victor.

However, the name 'Victor' and his appearance were deeply seared into Feixiao's mind.

Feixiao had already sworn a secret oath to make that man named Victor pay!

Likes to play with bondage? Likes to draw Y-shaped tattoos on my belly, does he!?

Sooner or later, I'll tie you up and draw all over your body, and I won't even spare your dick!

Perhaps sensing the surging killing intent coming from the distant Yaoqing Xianzhou...

Victor was currently researching how to use the 'Indestructible Body of Lapis Lazuli (Gold)' to enhance his physical strength.

He was toying with a knife in his hand.

After repeated research and careful questioning of the system, he finally figured out some of the hidden data details of the 'Indestructible Body of Lapis Lazuli (Gold).'

The standard for the Golden Body's damage threshold was the amount of force that could completely destroy his body.

For example, if the power of a single bullet could inflict a fatal wound on him, then breaking through his Golden Body would require the power of a cannonball.

Compared to a bullet, a cannonball's power is thousands of times greater.

As long as Victor continued to raise the Golden Body's upper limit, he would have a chance to become an immortal and indestructible existence.

However, he still had a long way to go to achieve this goal.

Victor held the knife to his chest, gesturing for a long while, before finally steeling his resolve and forcefully stabbing it into the area of his heart.

It is said that the vitality of Xianzhou natives is extremely vigorous; even if their heads are cut off, they can recover as long as they are reattached in time.

Unfortunately, Victor was not a Xianzhou native. He had transmigrated directly here. In the words of the Xianzhou people, he was an outworlder.

A single pistol or a knife could take Victor's life.

Now that his heart had been pierced by his own hand, he immediately felt his life rapidly draining away with the blood gushing from the wound on his chest...

Seemingly reaching a certain critical point, Victor's consciousness quickly faded to black, and then he knew nothing more.

Having entered a state of suspended animation, Victor did not see his body suddenly become enveloped in a faint golden radiance.

Under the golden glow, he looked like a golden Buddha statue...

It's unknown how much time passed, but Victor gradually regained consciousness.

When he was fully awake, he subconsciously touched the stab wound on his chest. The skin there was as good as new, showing no sign of having been pierced.

If not for the small bloodstain on the floor, he would have thought the whole thing was a hallucination.

As if remembering something, Victor quickly picked up the small knife from the floor and forcefully slashed at his own arm.

Not only was his arm uninjured, but it didn't even leave a mark!

The Golden Body had evolved. He was now completely immune to damage from ordinary blades!

He could no longer suppress the corners of his mouth, and a smile broke out.

Next, he needed to find a way to evolve the Golden Body to the point where it was immune to the standard-issue weapons of the Cloud Knights.

Don't be fooled by the Cloud Knights' traditional-looking weapons; they are actually high-tech devices in disguise.

The physical constitution of the Xianzhou natives is much weaker than that of the Borisin. They can suppress them in battle because they rely on more advanced weaponry.

For instance, what appear to be ordinary swords are actually high-frequency, monomolecular, or laser-based high-tech weapons. Even the flying swords used by Yanqing are likely equipped with something like a Dragoon System.

As an ordinary person, and an outworlder whom the Xianzhou were wary of, Victor naturally couldn't easily get his hands on the Cloud Knights' standard-issue weapons unless he chose to join them.

Victor had relied on simulations and even gone so far as to offend a large group of people precisely to avoid becoming cannon fodder. To ask him to join the Cloud Knights now—what a joke.

He knew that in the major events to come, the Cloud Knights would suffer heavy casualties. Joining the Cloud Knights now was a surefire way to become cannon fodder.

So Victor set his sights on civilian products, like various small cutting machines. These processing tools also used technologies such as high-frequency waves, monomolecular blades, and high-frequency lasers.

The first place that comes to mind for these machines is the Artisanship Commission, but unfortunately, the Artisanship Commission serves the Cloud Knights exclusively and is practically a semi-military factory. The chances of getting processing machinery from there were slim.

So Victor soon thought of Aurum Alley. Unlike the Exalting Sanctum, which is full of various entertainment facilities, Aurum Alley has both all sorts of snack stalls and various shops, including mechanical tool stores.

Victor took action immediately and soon arrived at Aurum Alley.

The tool store was easy to find, and Victor quickly bought the high-frequency cutting machine he needed.

Just as Victor was about to leave, an energetic voice caught his attention.

“Gather 'round, folks! Come and see, come and look! The most exciting acrobatics show!”

Victor stopped in his tracks and looked closely.

In a corner of the alley, a large crowd had gathered, and within it, a bright, fiery red figure could be faintly seen.

“It can't be such a coincidence...”

Victor muttered to himself and walked towards the crowd with a bit of curiosity.

When he got closer, he saw a familiar figure performing all sorts of bizarre acrobatic tricks in the middle of the crowd.

It was a young woman in a red dress, with fiery orange-red hair and golden eyes.

Her clothing was very distinctive; the outer skirt had Xianzhou characteristics mixed with some Western fantasy elements. Her long legs were covered in black leggings that clung to her curves like a second skin.

To attract more spectators, after performing a few tricks, the girl would pick up a nearby gong and bang it loudly, while several 'Diting' nearby cooperatively yelped along, making the scene incredibly lively.

Moreover, she had also set up various streaming devices, apparently performing on the street and live-streaming online at the same time.

The tricks she performed were also quite bizarre, such as eating noodles while doing a handstand, catching bullets with her bare hands, and so on.

For the sake of traffic, the girl was clearly going to extremes.

But you couldn't blame her. Xianzhou natives live so long, what kind of performance haven't they seen? To stand out, you have to be creative and unconventional.

It was clear the girl had mastered the essence of generating online traffic.

This Xianzhou version of an internet celebrity was named Guinaifen. Of course, that wasn't her name yet. She was currently called Guinevere; 'Guinaifen' was a name her future best friend, Sushang, would give her.

She and her siblings were likely the Star Rail world's counterparts to the characters from the Arthurian legends.

Unfortunately, the Arthurian legend of the Star Rail world was interrupted by the swarming Antimatter Legion before it could even begin.

Guinaifen, too, went from being a princess to a refugee whose kingdom was destroyed and family was ruined.

To survive, her older brothers became space pirates and, as luck would have it, ended up trying to rob the Xianzhou.

As followers of The Hunt, they believed in 'an eye for an eye,' no matter how many years it took.

When her brothers were about to be beheaded, the Cloud Knights heard about their family's situation, spared their lives, and even brought their entire family to the Xianzhou.
