Chapter 250 - 229: The Slab
Upon opening his eyes, Li Cheng returned to the familiar living room once more. Gray Rain looked around in disappointment and said, "Eh, just the two of us? I thought the Justice League would follow us here."
"Keep dreaming."
Li Cheng glanced at her and said, "Bringing people out of the script world would require a toll fee."
To bring Gray Rain out from the Narrative Cage at the time, Li Cheng had paid the system a whopping 5812 Game Coins.
Now it seems that investment was more than worth it, given Gray Rain alone was equivalent to the Legendary Endurance King, Resilient King, Electric Resistance King, Poison Resistance King, Study King...
Uh, let’s not count the Study King, since Gray Rain is actually still pursuing her elementary education—mention stamina to her and she thinks you’re talking about a bubble tea chain like Nayuki’s Tea.
Furthermore, according to the note for the Assembly Puppet, the disassembled body parts would still bleed, decay, and rust.
Those Justice League superheroes were all from mutant corpses, inherently dead to begin with.
If the time dragged on, their bodies would decay, damaging the brain tissue Li Cheng had extracted along with them.
Therefore, before leaving the script, he gave the fake Justice League a self-destruct command to ensure he destroyed all traces he left in the script world.
There was a concrete precedent: a high-level player once couldn’t keep it in his pants in a demon-themed script world and had a one-night stand with an NPC Fox Demon.
