Chapter 465: Tyrannosaurus Rex host
Lin Ye could force the Red Frog to remain in Xiao An's mental world, but doing so would cause severe trauma to her mental world, and such mental trauma is difficult to repair.
'This is a bit troublesome.'
Lin Ye's understanding of the mental world was only at an average level; he simply couldn't handle overly complicated problems.
"Is she alright?"
The Captain, his body wrapped in bandages, walked over and asked.
"Hard to say, she can only rely on herself now."
Lin Ye placed the Mental Red Frog into Xiao An's mental world, but this time he didn't follow it in. Consequently, Xiao An's mental world did not reject the frog.
"I should be heading back soon. You can discuss the next steps with her."
Lin Ye picked up the sparkling crystals on the ground and fed them to the nearby Red Frogs. These were the Mind Crystals left behind by the Consciousness entities, the loot obtained from the Tyrannosaurus rex's hunt.
This was also one of the Tyrannosaurus rex's abilities. If time permitted, Lin Ye truly wanted to thoroughly cleanse this entire world.
"Uh, what if she doesn't wake up?"
The Captain wanted to clarify Lin Ye's meaning.
"Then forget it."
Lin Ye said casually.
"...Forget it?"
Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, the Captain felt a bit dizzy.
"Right. I was summoned here by her. If she dies, then what happened before is just... forgotten."
A large number of Red Frogs gathered around Xiao An. They lifted her and hopped towards the city, where Xiao An's residence was.
When the previous battle began, the people from the Divine Principles Bureau were watching from a distance, but they didn't come to help. Instead, they observed the entire fight from afar. This was probably the intention of the Divine Principles Bureau's higher-ups.
The Divine Principles Bureau did not trust an Alien Deity. If possible, they would prefer to control one, which is why they didn't participate in the battle.
If Lin Ye had been crippled by those cultists, they would have been very willing to take possession of an Alien Deity's host.
As a human, Lin Ye could understand and accept their choice, but he would also modify his previous plans because of this choice.
He originally wanted a win-win situation, but the other side wasn't willing.
Then he could only win twice.
Lin Ye modified the instructions for the Mental Red Frog. From now on, the Mental Red Frog would control the Red Frogs to help Lin Ye collect mental energy, in a not-so-peaceful manner.
In the future, the Red Frogs would actively attack any creatures related to those Consciousness entities and continuously reproduce new individuals until no creatures related to Consciousness entities remained in this world.
Of course, if ordinary people attacked them, they would automatically retaliate. The Red Frogs that had eaten those Mind Crystals already possessed a certain level of thinking ability. Combined with the Mental Red Frog that could command the frogs and Lin Ye's Tyrannosaurus rex host, even the Divine Principles Bureau would find it difficult to eradicate these Red Frogs.
"Well then, goodbye, Captain."
Sensing the young girl's mental energy, Lin Ye glanced at the departing Xiao An and bid farewell to the Captain with a smile.
…………………………………
"The mental energy collected from that world can be stored in the asylum. I can help you process it."
The young girl seemed to be in a good mood.
"Was it really a random teleportation this time?"
Lin Ye looked suspiciously at the girl's blurred face.
"Of course. However, you possess the Fate Rule Fragment, so you're naturally influenced by Fate. I don't need to do anything extra to get a decent harvest... Can I occasionally go play with your Tyrannosaurus rex?"
The young girl carved a small Tyrannosaurus rex out of fruit. The dinosaur jumped into the fruit bowl and used various combos to attack the human-shaped fruits inside, splattering juice everywhere in the bowl.
"Sure. And help me handle the affairs of that world while you're at it."
Problems Lin Ye couldn't solve were not difficult for the young girl.
"No problem... That body is quite excellent. It can even temporarily accommodate my Consciousness. That's not something an ordinary host can do. With that body, I can go out for a walk too."
The young girl gazed out the window distractedly, seemingly lost in thought.
"That's pretty good."
Lin Ye speared the Tyrannosaurus rex wreaking havoc in the fruit bowl with a fork and bit its head off in one bite.
……………………………………
After returning to the Shelter, Lin Ye grabbed the Red Frog perched on his head, threw it aside, and then climbed out of bed.
He had many things to deal with now, but before that, he planned to take his pets to the Rest Area for a short break.
Gathering all the creatures in the Shelter around him, Lin Ye took them all to the Rest Area.
Soon, Lin Ye awoke on the soft, large bed in the Rest Area. Xiao Bai was still standing by the bedside, as if she had been waiting there all along for Lin Ye to wake up.
"Mr. Middleman hopes to come to your Shelter tomorrow afternoon to complete the transaction with you. Would you like to reply to him?"
Xiao Bai grabbed the Scapegoat jumping around on the bed; she seemed to really like how it felt.
Little Black and the little dogs ran into the bathroom. The Red Frog, holding a worm in its mouth, lay on the bed; it seemed not quite adapted to the atmosphere of the Rest Area.
"Sure, I'll make time."
This was precisely the main reason Lin Ye came to the Rest Area. He hoped to complete the transaction with the Middleman as soon as possible.
"Alright, I'll reply to him right away. The Restaurant is already booked. Do you need to reserve any other facilities?"
The ocular aperture in Xiao Bai's eyes rotated, and she quickly helped Lin Ye send the reply.
"No, time is a bit tight today. I still have to go to the Game Room later."
Lin Ye went to the bathroom for a quick shower and changed into the floral print shirt Xiao Bai had prepared for him.
The Rest Area was still the same as always. Xiao Bai drove Lin Ye and his pets to the Restaurant. After enjoying a sumptuous lunch, Lin Ye took out the black book and read for a while before lying back on the bed and returning to the Shelter.
Back at the Shelter, Lin Ye went directly to the Game Room and summoned the so-called War Machine—the Humanoid Armor—inside.
The attendant instantly appeared beside the armor. He looked at it excitedly and asked:
"Are you planning to use it for games? Or are you planning to rob the Game Room? We have a large number of red coins and many kinds of precious items here, such as rune cards filling entire card albums."
He seemed very hopeful that Lin Ye would rob the Game Room.
"Uh, I just wanted to check its information."
Lin Ye sat down at a card table and started a card game that cost one red coin per play.
"How disappointing. Well, would you be willing to sell this armor? I can trade you a brand-new Plane Shuttle for it. With this shuttle, you can escape from dangerous mission Planes at any time."
The attendant looked at the Humanoid Armor with a dreamy gaze, as if admiring an extremely valuable piece of art.
"No, compared to running away, I prefer solving my enemies."
Unless Lin Ye suddenly turned into an idiot, there was no way he would agree to such an obviously loss-making trade.
This was a War Machine produced by the system; it definitely couldn't be just an ordinary suit of Humanoid Armor.
