Global Game: I Have Portable Store

”Master?” Hua san heard the voice, turned her head to look over. Most of her body had been destroyed, leaving only a head and part of the torso.

But her soul core hadn’t been damaged, so it wasn’t a big problem; she just needed repairs.

Su Changxing looked at her and said helplessly, ”You don’t need to fight that desperately. I wasn’t asking you to die out there. Just doing enough is fine.”

Hua san half-understood and nodded. There were many things she didn’t understand and didn’t really care about. She just needed to follow Su Changxing’s orders.

Su Changxing piled Hua san’s remaining limbs together, then took out Rune Warrior parts and materials from the Pocket Galaxy and started repairing.

Hua san’s body wasn’t flesh and blood to begin with, and had extremely high plasticity. If he still had a complete Rune Warrior, he could swap its core with Hua san’s and create a Rune Warrior with flexible consciousness.

It was just that all the Rune Warriors had already been destroyed in the Ninth Dimension, and doing that didn’t have much meaning anyway.

Hua san herself had greater plasticity, while the Rune Warrior’s upper limit was fixed, and it inherently had huge flaws.

The casualties from this battle at the Falling Leaves Gathering Place were extremely heavy. Not only was Lu Yu dead, there were over a thousand casualties, and those thousand were all core combat power of the gathering place.

It could only be said that the old man’s strength was indeed terrifying. Even among Tier Seven, he was probably one of the absolute top.

Moreover, Su Changxing had noticed that their Power system wasn’t purely Extraordinary; it was mixed with some other things.

He hadn’t figured out why that old man had such an obsession with that monstrous tree, to the point of not backing down even in death.

”Luckily Leader Su, you arrived in time, or the consequences would have been unimaginable.” Fang Muping said with a face full of relief, dust all over his face, and his clothes torn to rags.

When the high wall collapsed, he had been crushed under the ruins, but fortunately he hadn’t been seriously injured.

Su Changxing shook his head and said, ”I share responsibility for this. I’m the one who pulled up the tree, so I should have expected they’d come looking for trouble. These people’s deaths are connected to me.”

He felt that since he was here, he bore responsibility for the deaths. After all, they were all from Seventeen, and this was Seventeen’s territory.

Fang Muping thought for a bit, then said, ”Who could have predicted that such a monstrously strong old freak would come for trouble? In the end, we’re just too weak... So that means the rumors on the forum were true: these people really came from another world.”

Su Changxing nodded, fitting the two broken halves of Hua san’s thigh together as he spoke:

”Yes, they’re people from another world. But they seem to share the same ancestors as us. They also experienced a similar calamity, escaped from here, and went into refuge.”

Fang Muping showed a thoughtful look. ”No wonder he’s so strong. He’s probably been an Extraordinary for a very long time.”

Su Changxing nodded and said, ”Right. They have a mature Power system, so over the long years they’ve naturally accumulated plenty of strong people. No matter what, we definitely can’t compare.”

Watching Su Changxing repair Hua san, Fang Muping felt dazzled yet oddly pleased.

”I’ve already dealt with those Undead. For now they won’t pose a danger to the Falling Leaves Gathering Place.”

”But I’m leaving here as well. This place needs a new Leader. Who do you think is suitable?” Su Changxing saw Fang Muping silent, then asked.

Fang Muping hadn’t expected Su Changxing to ask him this. He hesitated, then said, ”Wu Mouping, I guess. He’s the strongest, aside from Leader Lu.”

Su Changxing tried to recall. ”Who is he?”

Fang Muping pointed into the distance at the burly, bare-chested man lying on a stretcher. ”That guy. You should have met him before.”

”Ah, the master of seeking death.” Su Changxing raised an eyebrow. ”You’re sure he’s up for it? Don’t have the whole gathering place wiped out by him after a few days.”

At that, Fang Muping also felt less than confident, but still said, ”He’ll do. At least most people in the gathering place accept him. As for others, they’re not qualified.”

For those who’d stayed in the gathering place long-term, this kind of thing was actually obvious at a glance. There were only one or two people who could serve as Leader; it wasn’t a job just anyone could take.

Su Changxing mulled it over, then said casually, ”All right, him it is. From now on he’s the Leader of the Falling Leaves Gathering Place.”

In this era, strength is the primary criterion, mainly as a sort of benchmark presence.

Although Hua san’s body had been badly damaged, it was still easy to repair: it had only been broken into a few big pieces and not shattered into countless small fragments. Otherwise he might have had to recast her limbs.

While the people in the gathering place were still clearing the rubble, Su Changxing had already finished most of the repairs to Hua san’s body.

Though not completely restored, she could at least move freely. Her combat power was still somewhat inferior to before.

He was quite satisfied with Hua san’s performance—unexpectedly obedient.

”How does it feel?” Su Changxing watched Hua san walk around stiffly, step by step, getting used to her repaired body. She looked a bit comical.

Hua san thought about it, then said coldly, ”It’s fine. Pretty much the same as before.”

Su Changxing chuckled. ”And by ’before’ you mean when?”

”When I was still a puppet.” Hua san said seriously. Her soul hadn’t suddenly sprung into existence in an instant.

Instead, it had slowly accumulated and formed over time, so she had a certain amount of memory from her puppet period.

Though not very deep.

To her, that was like childhood memories: subtle, yet important.

Su Changxing nodded. ”Get ready. We’re leaving here too. We’ll probably still have to fight later. Your body isn’t fully restored yet, so we’ll find time to fix you up more afterward.”

”Okay.” Hua san nodded.

Su Changxing didn’t intend to linger here any longer. He prepared to leave Falling Leaves and head to the front lines to see what the situation was over there.

Rumor had it the war there was extremely intense.

Just as they were about to leave, Yi Xiaotian hobbled over on a crutch, limping badly, looking rather miserable.

”You can still move? Weren’t you almost dead just now? You really aren’t afraid of dying.”

Su Changxing teased as he looked at him. He kind of liked Yi Xiaotian’s temperament—fearless of heaven and earth, full of youthful energy.

Yi Xiaotian was always a bit restrained in front of Su Changxing. His face showed embarrassment as he scratched the back of his head with his free hand and said:

”I heard from the captain that Mr. Su, you’re leaving, so I came over specially.”

Su Changxing raised an eyebrow. ”You need something?”

”Mr. Su, you’re going to the front lines, right? I want to go too. Could you take me along?” Yi Xiaotian’s eyes went wide.

Su Changxing looked at him suspiciously. ”If you want to go, you can go on your own. I don’t have time to drag you along... Why do you want to go with me?”

Yi Xiaotian smiled and said, ”Well, isn’t it because you’re strong, Mr. Su? Following you, I’ll definitely have a future.”

Su Changxing nodded. ”You will have a future. And following me, you’ll definitely die faster. If you want to go to the front, just report directly to the upper level of Team 17. They’ll assign you.”

”Though with those injuries, you’ll have to recover for a while first. We’ll see.”

”Then this is goodbye. Hope I get to see you again next time.”

Yi Xiaotian thumped his chest. ”By next time, you’ll definitely have heard my name from other people’s mouths.”
