"Holy crap!!"
In front of the pyramid, Shen Fei was completely stunned as he watched the series of bizarre events unfold one after another.
He had originally thought that after completing Mission Two, he could take his time dominating the Dinosaur Era and, from an unstoppable position, investigate why he had been sent here. Furthermore, he would also begin investigating that ultimate goal he most needed to understand. But Shen Fei never expected that after Number 0 reached LV 1,000 and the four members of his team became the top four in the entire Dinosaur Era, he would be given no time to prepare at all. A new change had already begun!
SHIMMER.
As Shen Fei watched, a new mission lit up on his mission panel:
[Punitive Mandatory Mission Three: Preserve the Dinosaur Version’s Fire Seed!]
At the same moment the new mission appeared, enormous, round meteorites suddenly materialized in the fractured sky. But what shocked Shen Fei the most was that he actually saw the phantom image of Square A atop the giant pyramid of this Dinosaur Era.
Black Spade A, which could create bugs, was in his living room at home. Red Heart A, which could lead people directly to what they desired most, was in the hands of the Sea Race—though thanks to Black Tortoise, it would most likely end up in his possession soon. But Shen Fei had never imagined that after being brought to the Dinosaur Era by Red Heart A and Black Spade A, he would, at this very moment, on this pyramid that was so clearly out of place, see the one thing he’d never expected: Square A!
"Let’s go!!"
"To the pyramid!!"
"I have to see what this Square A is!!"
In the fractured sky overhead, massive meteorites were rapidly taking shape. On his automatically opened personal panel, Mission Three was flashing rapidly. The text on the panel indicated that Version 2.9 was updating in real-time. Everything required Shen Fei’s immediate thought and action. Yet even under these circumstances, Shen Fei’s first reaction was still to seek out the unexpected Square A. Having become familiar with the incredible powers of Black Spade A and Red Heart A, the instant he saw Square A, he had to know what kind of item it was.
BOOM!
Unfortunately, before Shen Fei’s team could even take a few steps, the two massive pyramids ahead of them suddenly exploded. The violent blast instantly pulverized the towering, several-kilometer-high pyramids into dust. The powerful shockwave even sent Shen Fei and his companions, who weighed over ten tons each, flying.
Shen Fei: "..."
In the blink of an eye, not only had Square A vanished without a trace, but even the pyramid it had been on was obliterated. The situation left Shen Fei stunned once again.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
In the moment he was stunned, the giant meteorites that had formed overhead began to plummet toward the ground, trailing long tails behind them. At the same time, the tear in the sky continued to widen, and even more meteorites were forming. As this apocalyptic scene unfolded, the entire world erupted into chaos. Countless dinosaurs panicked under the falling meteors, descending into a frenzy and running around frantically like headless chickens!
"Holy shit!!"
"So this is how the great dinosaur extinction happened? A meteor strike?"
"In the Dinosaur Era, the so-called Version 2.9 is just a meteor striking the Earth??"
"The so-called destruction of the dinosaurs was due to a version update??"
With Square A having vanished in the blink of an eye, Shen Fei could only look up at the countless meteorites streaking toward the ground with their long tails. This scene allowed him to instantly recognize it as the historic asteroid impact that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. However, what he hadn’t expected was that the reason for the meteor shower was a version update. Furthermore, it was Version 2.9—the very one he was most desperate to learn about!
So, in modern society, when the version updates to 4.9, will there also be a world-ending crisis? So, the ultimate goal of Red Heart A and Black Spade A sending me to the Dinosaur Era was actually to have me witness this world-ending scene of the Version 2.9 asteroid impact? And from that, I’m supposed to deduce the ultimate goal of the Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses that I wanted to know so badly?
The scene above his head, combined with the information about the Version 2.9 update on his personal panel, sent a thousand thoughts racing through Shen Fei’s mind as he came to a flood of conclusions.
So, Blue Star’s Version 4.9 is also an extinction event? But instead of an asteroid impact, the Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses inherited from the game will burst out of their special zones to destroy humanity, the stars of that version? Version 2.0 was the Dinosaur Era, so Version 2.9 is the extinction of the dinosaurs! Version 4.0 is the Age of Humanity, so Version 4.9 is the extinction of humanity?
After connecting the dots, all sorts of deductions instantly formed in Shen Fei’s mind.
The dinosaurs were wiped out by meteorites! And humanity will be wiped out by Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses? The whole reason I came to the Dinosaur Era was to find out the goal of the Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses! And now, Red Heart A and Black Spade A have brought me here directly! To personally witness and deduce this outcome? Is this also a form of Red Heart A’s ’Wishful Thinking’ in action?
With this breakthrough in his train of thought, Shen Fei directly deduced what he had wanted to know—the goal of the Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses inherited from the game: to destroy humanity after the Version 4.9 update.
So, after the Version 2.9 update, the stars of the new Version 3.0 were born! Then in the future, in modern society, after the Version 4.9 update, what kind of creature will be the so-called star of Version 5.0?
