Chapter 124: Chapter 124:- Strange Aura
If Xu Yuan's hard strength is unable to match Entity 303, even creating ten million salted fish is useless.
Entity 303 is not stupid, nor is it like the Creeper in the game code set to fear cats.
His fear of salted fish has preconditions.
The reason why Rookie can use a huge salted fish to restrain Entity 303,
it must be because Entity 303 cannot deal with Rookie.
If Entity 303 could easily kill Rookie, why would he still fear salted fish? How could he possibly be slapped in the face with salted fish?
Therefore, Xu Yuan's hard strength must surpass Entity 303, or, in other words, make Entity 303 unable to deal with him.
Only then can he use the weakness of fearing salted fish to subdue him.
Currently, the only method Xu Yuan can rely on to deal with Entity 303 is the transparent block.
After all, Entity 303 is already invincible; Xu Yuan's skills are ineffective against him.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan glanced at his faith value.
In just a short time, the faith value had already risen to over 200,000.
It seems those infected are quite satisfied with his zombie identity.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan consumed all his faith value to upgrade the transparent block to Level 3.
[Transparent Block Lv3: Size 1x1x3]
[Consumes 100,000 Faith Value to Upgrade]
Seeing the upgrade direction of the transparent block, Xu Yuan was a little stunned.
"This is how it upgrades?..."
Xu Yuan originally thought that upgrading to Level 3 would increase the size to 3x3x3, but unexpectedly, the upgrade method increases size block by block.
However, it is understandable since the required faith value for upgrading hasn't increased.
In other words, 100,000 faith value can only expand one block of size.
"It seems this is a bottomless pit..."
This transparent block, to put it plainly, is the domain of a creator god.
It cannot be denied that it is indeed very powerful, but it's also really difficult to enhance.
However, for now, upgrading to 1x1x3 is enough. It is already enough to encompass the size of one person.
When fighting against Entity 303, Xu Yuan only needs to use the transparent block to cover himself, and he becomes invincible.
Now, the threat of Entity 303 to Xu Yuan can be said to be resolved.
But new uncertain factors have emerged.
Rookie, to Xu Yuan, is indeed an uncertain factor. Xu Yuan does not know how strong Rookie really is.
Entity 303 can invade data and cause the system to display a 303 error.
GM is undoubtedly game data, but Entity 303 has not kicked Rookie out of the game.
Entity 303 is so powerful yet was still beaten and fled in a panic. Fearing salted fish is indeed a significant reason, but behind this reason, it must be because Entity 303 cannot deal with Rookie.
That is to say, Rookie cannot be kicked out of the game.
Moreover, Rookie's ability is also beyond Xu Yuan's comprehension. As a GM, Rookie should belong to creative mode.
Although creative mode can use various commands to do many things, Xu Yuan vaguely remembers that this mode cannot change the size of items.
To change item sizes, one must modify the game data code.
This operation undoubtedly requires accessing the game database.
Although Xu Yuan doesn't have much experience with holographic modes, when he played on a computer before, modifying code definitely required exiting the game, making changes, and then re-entering for it to take effect.
The holographic mode should operate similarly.
Yet, Rookie can directly change the size of objects while being in the game. This ability can only be described in two words: absurd.
Although Xu Yuan can also change object sizes, it's because he has the transparent block, this creator god domain.
This is where Xu Yuan's uncertainty lies.
He doesn't know what method Rookie uses to change object sizes.
If by any chance Rookie, like himself, possesses a creator god domain, that would be troublesome.
Although Rookie does not threaten Xu Yuan's life, he is undoubtedly an uncertain factor to Xu Yuan.
After all, Xu Yuan is step by step building an undead army.
With Rookie's ability, even Entity 303, who ranks second only to Xu Yuan in the undead army, can be easily dealt with.
That makes his threat to Null and 007 undoubtedly enormous.
Therefore, Xu Yuan must quickly upgrade the transparent block's size. Only when the size is large enough to cover the undead army around him will they not be threatened by Rookie.
"Fortunately, he is just a GM and should not be permanently stationed in the game, right?..."
For now, the fortunate thing is that Rookie appears as a GM. A GM is definitely not going to be permanently stationed in the game.
Xu Yuan still has time to upgrade the transparent block.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan also made some plans for the future.
First and foremost, the priority is definitely to infect more players quickly and earn more faith value.
Currently, Xu Yuan's control skill is still on cooldown, so he can only wait for the next time to explore the player's base locations.
Next is to figure out what exactly is in the void.
This world is obviously starting to become chaotic; Xu Yuan must gather more information to protect himself and those around him.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan turned to Null and said, "You come with me to the End."
After speaking, the two went to the Ender Dragon. Going to the Nether is definitely faster riding the Ender Dragon.
Xu Yuan patted the Ender Dragon's back and said, "Let's go back once more."
Hearing Xu Yuan's words, the Ender Dragon's previously relaxed expression instantly became tense.
"Whimper... whimper..."
It whimpered softly while retreating a few steps.
It was evident that it was really scared. Just hearing about going to the Nether made it like this.
Seeing the Ender Dragon's reaction, Xu Yuan couldn't force it.
Although Xu Yuan has a teleportation skill, it can only transport to coordinates.
The End coordinates and the Overworld coordinates are the same, so he can't teleport directly to the End.
Fortunately, Xu Yuan had noted down the coordinates of the air portal where the Ender Dragon entered the End before.
Xu Yuan also wanted to try if he could enter through that air portal without the Ender Dragon.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan directly teleported with Null to the vicinity of the previous coordinates.
As soon as they arrived, Null seemed to sense something.
"My king... here is a... strange aura..."
Hearing Null's words, Xu Yuan thought he sensed the air portal.
So he asked Null, "Hm? What aura?"
Null closed his eyes, seemingly sensing something. Moments later, he finally opened his eyes, frowned slightly, and said, "I feel a very unfamiliar aura..."
"Different from anything before. The aura is not strong; its strength should not be very high. But what can be confirmed is, it was born much earlier than all of us..."
Null was a consciousness autonomously generated in this world. So he could sense various auras others couldn't.
Hearing Null's words, Xu Yuan was a bit surprised.
"It seems this world is getting more and more interesting..."
Although Xu Yuan didn't know who this aura belonged to, it was undoubtedly another force.
Moreover, judging by Null's words, it was born much earlier than any other auras he sensed before.
This means it existed long before Xu Yuan appeared. Perhaps it existed when the game launched, or maybe even before the game launched.
However, Null said its strength is not high. So for now, Xu Yuan doesn't need to consider it a threat.
"Hm, got it."
Xu Yuan replied to Null and continued searching for the air portal.
In the sky of this area, he searched for over ten minutes. He had gone over every possible spot but still couldn't find the air portal.
"Seems like only the Ender Dragon can pass?..."
The Ender Dragon, in some sense, is also a "gatekeeper" of the End. It seems only they can cross space without a portal.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan stopped searching and decided to use the most traditional method, using Eyes of Ender to find the stronghold leading to the End.
Fortunately, Xu Yuan had prepared beforehand and brought some Eyes of Ender with him.
As soon as Xu Yuan used one Eye of Ender, he saw it fall straight down. Then it disappeared into the dense forest below.
