Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead
Chapter 167: Letter from the Future: Finale

At this moment, Professor Zhang was as delighted as a two-hundred-kilogram fat man, his eyes gleaming with excitement and joy.

"Professor Zhang, will our work proceed faster with this?" Bai Liang asked him.

"No, not just faster, but we can complete it ahead of schedule!"

Hearing Bai Liang's words, Professor Zhang explained:

"This is the ultimate result of our Z-cell research. A more perfect form simply doesn't exist!"

With that, the professor suddenly remembered something, grabbed a test tube, and hurried towards the exit.

But halfway there, he stopped and turned back:

"Bai Liang, your contribution to this is the greatest. I will report this to the higher-ups."

Having said that, he hastily departed.

Bai Liang casually slipped his hands into his pockets and, watching him leave, a faint smile played on his lips.

At this moment, a system notification echoed in his mind:

【Congratulations Player: Bai Liang! You have successfully cleared the D-class dungeon "Sun Eclipse Biotechnology Research Center"!】

【Clearance Time: 28 hours, 1 minute, 30 seconds!】

【Clearance Rating: SSS-level!】

【Clearance Rewards:

Rule Points

Title: "Prophet"

High-grade weapon x1】

The system message boomed within the minds of all players in the dungeon.

"???"

"What's going on? Someone already cleared the dungeon?!"

"Damn it, we've only been here for two days! I haven't even had time to gather all the information, and you're telling me someone's already cleared it?!"

"Bai Liang... isn't that the legendary cheater ID?!"

"Holy crap, how lucky I am that I didn't cross paths with him! What a dangerous guy!"

"Ah, so it's him... Well, then it all makes sense. No questions at all, then."

---

Initially, the players were bewildered upon hearing the unexpected system notification.

But upon hearing Bai Liang's name, they immediately calmed down.

At this point, there were very few people left in the world who didn't know who Bai Liang was.

Perhaps only those players who spent all their days stuck in dungeons and paid no attention to the news.

But anyone who had ever visited the professional market had surely heard his name.

This guy had been clearing dungeons non-stop since entering the world of anomaliesone after anotherand, most importantly, achieving the highest clearance rating every single time!

If it had been anyone else, people might have doubted it, but if it was Bai Liang, everyone simply thanked their lucky stars that they hadn't encountered him in the same dungeon.

Some could understand this, but Sun Ping couldn't accept it.

He stared wide-eyed at Bai Liang, who stood nearby, his mouth agape wide enough to fit a basketball.

"He... already cleared it?"

How did he do it?!

Sun Ping couldn't comprehend it.

He had been closely watching Bai Liang the entire time, knowing his every move.

But he hadn't done anything special...

So how did he clear the dungeon?!

And... wasn't it too fast?!

One dungeon a day... Is he even human?

📱 Sun Ping's Chat Group

"Sun Ping, did you see how Bai Liang cleared the dungeon?!"

"He works with him in the same lab! Of course, he saw it! Come on, tell us quickly!"

"I thought this new dungeon would finally slow down his clearance speed... But it seems I'm still too naive! That guy is definitely not human!"

"Never mind, Sun Ping, just dump all the information! Let everyone see!"

"If we get a hint about this SSS-rank, maybe we can try for the highest rating too!"

...

At this moment, the chat was in utter chaos.

Everyone was bombarding Sun Ping with messages, begging him to share the details.

This was an SSS-level clearance! In this entire strange world, besides Bai Liang, no one else had ever received such a rating.

If they could also achieve an SSS-rating using the clearance information, it would be a true leap from zero to the top!

However...

"Sun Ping (Master of Illusions): I don't know!"

"What the hell are you talking about? He was working in the same lab as you! Didn't you see how he passed?"

"Exactly! What, trying to sell out your teammate? Remember, we're from the same organization; if you betray us, you'll be kicked out immediately!"

"Sun Ping (Master of Illusions): Honestly, I don't know! He just pulled out some strange test tube and handed it to Professor Zhang. Then the professor suddenly got incredibly excited and started shouting something about a 'breakthrough'... And then Bai Liang just cleared the dungeon!"

"Could that test tube be the key? Maybe if we get it too and hand it over to the professor, we'll clear the dungeon immediately?"

"I think so too! We should try it!"

...

In the stream chat, the viewers were completely bewildered.

"What? Bai Liang already cleared it?"

"Honestly, I didn't understand what just happened at all."

"Let me try to break it down. Bai Liang encountered Mo Lu, Mo Lu gave him a test tube containing a red liquid. That liquid is the final result of the Z-cell research... I get it! That's what it is! This is the true condition for clearing this quest!"

"Hey, you! Can you just get to the point? You've got me so intrigued I'm about to go crazy!"

"Ahem... Alright, I'll explain for everyone. The most crucial point here is the test tube Mo Lu gave to Bai Liang. Now, think about it: what was Sun Eclipse Biotechnology's true goal in researching Z-cells?"

Based on the improved Z-cells, a new intelligent organism was created.

Who is Mo Lu?

She is the experimental subject of Laboratory 45!

Then let's assume that Laboratory 45 and Sun Eclipse Biotechnology exist in the same world.

In that case, can we say that Mo Lu is the final result of Sun Eclipse Biotechnology's research?

"Are you saying Bai Liang was able to clear this scenario because he gave Mo Lu's blood to Professor Zhang?"

"Does this mean the previous version of Mo Lu is yet to be created?"

"Exactly!"

"It seems this side quest is the past of Laboratory 45!"

One of the viewers shared their conjectures, and the others immediately understood everything.

In the laboratory

Bai Liang's figure gradually dissolved into the air, after which he completely vanished.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Sun Eclipse Biotechnology building.

A middle-aged man in a business suit entered the office, holding a report folder in his hands.

Opposite him, a person sat in a chair.

One of her arms rested freely on the armrest, the other slightly bent at the palm, resting on her leg.

She glanced towards the scientific research building, absentmindedly gazing at the horizon.

"Professor, Laboratory 45 has already been constructed."

"Everything has been carried out exactly to your specifications."

"Here is the report on its status, please review it."

The man respectfully extended the report.

The sitting figure turned, reached out, and took the document, briefly glancing through it.

Then a voice rang out, clear and resonant, like a wind chime:

"Proceed with the staff selection for Laboratory 45."

"Yes, understood!" The man immediately nodded, then turned and left.

When the office was empty, the person in the chair lowered her head and unclasped her clenched palm.

On her palm lay a folded piece of paper, covered in small handwriting.

The beginning of a phrase could be made out on it:

"Hello, yesterday's me."

She whispered:

"A Liang... There can only be one..."
