Chapter 255: Chapter 46 Xu Shu: Did you nerf my card pool? (Second update, asking for monthly passes)_2

Looking at it this way, was my royal bloodline the result of forced artificial insemination?

Indeed, nothing good comes easy.

But compared to the great battle in the Forbidden City, I could finally catch a break.

He began silently...

"In 2077, you were born in a deserted laboratory by the bay in Jinshan City, Xia Country on Water Blue Star. Your birth was attributed to the great scientist, Dr. Kote Amster, the most perfect creation of his life. He risked following an archaeological team from Kunnan Worm Valley to bring you into the world, using artificial insemination technology."

"You carry the bloodline of the Lizard Princess, destined to restore the glory of the Royal Family. Greatness awaits you. Therefore, he named you according to the local customs of Xia Country: Ying Weida Amster."

"To others, you are known as Ying Weida, with the nickname Awei."

"Ah?"

That can’t be right...

Looking at the tiny lizard in the nutrient tank on the screen, Xu Shu could hardly keep his composure.

Damn it, after all this hype, I’m part of the royalty, huh.

I’m not human?

I’m a lizard?

This is even worse than playing a female character.

Xu Shu was initially displeased.

But then he thought, if I turn into a Lizardman, isn’t that likely to be "alien"?

Although the rewards I received might not be completely consistent with my character’s path, there was still hope.

With this thought, Xu Shu was no longer angry and started to play this "lizard account" seriously.

"In 2078, just one year after your birth, you had grown into an eighteen-centimeter-long lizard, unable to resist mating with other small animals in the lab: white mice, snakes, rabbits, frogs. You were open-hearted, having tasted love with every species, and your harem spanned across all races."

"Your favorite caretaker is Xiao Ru, the daughter of Liang Zan, the president of Jinshan City Martial Arts Association. She often took you to eat various sweets, brought you to her school to play, and every day she held you as you slept on the hilltop."

"By 2080, at the age of three, you had grown tremendously, reaching three meters in length, a veritable giant lizard. The small animals in the lab were no longer suitable playmates. Xiao Ru didn’t shun you; now she slept on top of you."

"You began to want to tease the female researchers, but you were too big, and they were scared. So every time you tried to be mischievous, they would inject you with sedatives. You failed."

"In 2088, at the age of eleven, your size had reached a terrifying 21.9 meters, weighing over 20 tons. Your time on land grew shorter, as you often frolicked in this sea region, leaving whales flustered and pregnant in your wake."

"Your favorite caretaker, Xiao Ru, was now a thirty-year-old young woman but had not married. Instead, she decided to take over her father’s martial arts school, exuding the flair of a Master, often practicing punches in front of you. You learned martial arts: Yong Chun Fist."

"Your nominal father, Dr. Kote Amster, sighed in frustration. He always felt there was something off about your growth direction; your mother was a very sensual Lizardwoman, but you seemed to be developing towards an ancient behemoth, with no intention of taking human form."

"In the night of 2100, the turn of the century, you had grown over 150 meters in length, your weight immeasurable, existing like a god in the sea."

"Aunt Xiao Ru told you that recently there had been sightings of you, and the news of ’Sea Monster’ had caught the attention of nearby countries. She advised you to be careful and try not to show yourself too much."

"You nodded, stirring up a tsunami, but you couldn’t bear to part with her. Caretaker Xiao Ru had raised you from a small lizard; she and Dr. Kote were your only family."

"Fortunately, as you reduced your appearances, the monster rumors gradually faded."

"Because humanity always looked up, towards the stars, curious whether other intelligent life existed in the universe."

"But they were looking in the wrong direction, those alien lives came from the depths of the Abyss." (Note 1)

"In 2106, the first giant creature appeared on Water Blue Star, but it wasn’t you. It was an unsightly monstrosity named ’Triangular Head’ that emerged from the ocean. Humankind spent three days and nights defeating it. By then, it had advanced 160 miles, resulting in millions of deaths and countless people displaced."

"That was just the beginning. Afterward, giant creatures continued to emerge worldwide, destroying cities and slaughtering humans."

"The Monster Era had arrived. To confront this crisis, countries around the world united to create a superweapon known as ’Titan Mecha’ to combat the monsters."

"The first batch of Mechas, named ’Prototype’, saw your caretaker Xiao Ru as a representative of martial artists, becoming one of its pilots."

"But as stronger monsters appeared and humanity faced invasion, their efforts were in vain. To protect your caretaker Aunt Xiao Ru, you finally took action."

[In 2111, faced with a level 4 monster, you, nearly twice the size of your opponent, used just one Inch Punch to kill the monster that had been slaughtering in Xia Country, securing a quick victory in your initial battle.]

[Over the next decade, you accompanied Xiao Ru in campaigns to the east and west, exterminating monsters everywhere to save the world. The combination of the Jinshan Yongchun Sect became renowned across this planet of Water Blue Star.]

[However, as life began to improve, there emerged those who sought to stir strife. Within humanity, an evil force known as the "Emperor Organization" coveted your formidable strength.]

[In order to capture you, they seized Aunt Xiao Ru and threatened you to yield. Xiao Ru, not wanting to become a burden, found an opportunity to commit suicide.]

[Enraged, you began hunting down the Emperor Organization. Their true identities were finally exposed; it turned out that the monsters wreaking havoc over the years were released by them, and the rifts in the realms were also opened by them. They were the sinners of all mankind.]

[To deal with you, they eventually unleashed all the monsters from the Emperor Organization, leading to the ultimate battle.]

[In your fury, you killed all the monsters, as well as the shadowy figures behind the Emperor Organization. You protected all of humanity, but ultimately you died of grave injuries. You perished in the infinite sea, and your blood formed a giant undersea vortex. From then on, humans could no longer approach.]

[In July of 2121, a strange, mysterious meteor shower exterminated all traces of the "monsters" as if they had never existed.]

[Only you, Awei, though dead, had your name remembered. You have countless dedicated fans, and you are known to mankind as the "Dragon King." The name of your Guardian God has continued to be celebrated.]

[Had you lived in accordance with fate, returning to nature as a tranquil beast, perhaps you could have survived the calamity and lived a carefree life.]

[But you chose to stand up for humanity. To the monsters, you were a traitor, but to humans, you were a hero. Though you died, their enemy is my hero!]

[Life is like a game of chess, with no regrets at each move. Maybe one day, in the endless years to come, someone will awaken you from your slumber.]

"Currently calculating your legendary achievements..."

"Your only achievement this legend: Savior."

"Evaluation: You refused to let nature take its course and defied the heavens without remorse."

"Your reward level for this item has increased by one."

"You have received the Mark Altar: boatman (excellent)"

[Today’s opening count 0/3]

...

Dusk had fallen; the sun set and the moon rose.

Xu Shu, in a room on the 12th floor, opened his eyes with a skeptical look.

"Just blue... but the fate quality is only green. An upgrade is fine, I suppose."

"But why the boatman? This role seems like it’s meant for normal humans, right?"

"This time I’m a giant lizard, shouldn’t it be some kind of alien mark?"

"Strange..."

Xu Shu rubbed his head.

This reward was rather average, but it led him to some speculation.

Considering the high-grade fates that appeared at Black Widow’s place, down to just a few purples by yesterday, and now not even a green.

Thinking about the differences, Xu Shu had a preliminary speculation.

That is,

Perhaps the "fate" quality that appears in legends is related to the quality of the potential dangers encountered in one’s surroundings.

Of course, this was just an initial guess and could not yet be confirmed.

Xu Shu put away the light blue altar, patted his growling stomach, and stood up.

At this point, it was time to eat.
