Chapter 2, The Magical Ring

In the next moment, Xu Nuo, whose legs had lost strength, collapsed directly onto the floor of the apartment she rented. Xu Nuo, twitching slightly, rolled her eyes back and foamed at the mouth. She appeared to be convulsing as if having an epileptic seizure.

Because the remaining energy of the ring is no longer sufficient to frequently open new worlds, it can only randomly open one more world apart from the recently opened "Journey to the West". Of course, before Xu Nuo agrees to work for the ring, it will provide Xu Nuo with an opportunity to choose a benefit as a signing bonus between both parties.

Why?

The ring seeks to obtain energy in order to repair its own damage. The benefits it is prepared to offer are diverse and varied, all derived from the ring's analysis of the vast amount of information available online. As for the specifics, that will depend on the choices made by the promise itself

... ... Hero! Let us discuss this!

Among those worlds, there exists the energy required for it to repair itself. However, the ring itself lacks the ability to act; it can only assist in acquiring energy through promises. Of course, in return, the ring will also provide certain benefits to the promise as compensation for the service rendered.

After all, as young people living in the internet age, their ability to accept new things is exceptionally strong. Even when faced with such incredible events that science cannot explain, Xu Nuo can adapt to them in a very short period of time

As for why this ring needs to break through the world's crystal barrier to deliver the promise, the reason is that this mysterious ring requires energy to replenish itself and repair its internal damage. As for why the ring is damaged, the promise did not ask, and the ring did not speak.

"Why not directly supplement energy in this world?" After listening to the explanation of the ring, Xu Nuo inquired with confusion

After a serious and thorough conversation with the ring, Xu Nuo finally understood the entire sequence of events

A monkey, a gigantic monkey, a gigantic monkey covered in thick fur! A massive monkey, with both hands raised high holding a glittering golden staff, soars through the air, its eyes flashing with blinding flames, baring its teeth and rushing towards the promise like a primordial giant beast!

Come on! Don't be polite! Feel free to take advantage of me, I don't mind. "Ecstatic, Xu Nuo waved his arms and pounded his chest with the strength of Mount Tai, saying, 'Let the storm come even more fiercely!"

Xu Nuo touched the ring on his finger, and a virtual screen suddenly appeared before him. This astonishing technology left Xu Nuo in shock, as he was still just an ordinary person at that moment

Lowering his head, the promised gaze was instantly captivated by the ring on his finger, which shimmered with a dazzling luster, as if a spirit were dancing within it. "Is the ring speaking?!"

"I am not foolish," Xu Nuo rolled her eyes, "With such a great opportunity right in front of me, if I do not cherish it, does Heaven really intend to give me a second chance?"

Even though the measurements and weights varied across different dynasties, they were still calculated in tons for those large iron masses. If one were to be struck by such a mass, it would truly be a matter of laughter for the promise made.

Faced with an opportunity that could almost change her destiny, how could Xu Nuo possibly give it up? Everyone harbors a dream of rising above the ordinary, yet achieving this in the real world is exceedingly difficult. However, when the opportunity truly arises, regardless of how others may choose, at the very least, Xu Nuo will absolutely not give up

Fortunately, the critical moment was very brief, and the adrenaline promised was not secreted in large amounts. Moreover, he is currently at the peak of human physical condition in his lifetime. After experiencing severe convulsions and vomiting, he ultimately survived.

Struggling to stabilize the inexplicable emotions within, he promised to soon focus his attention on the virtual screen before him

A force of overwhelming pressure descended upon him, causing his mind to freeze as he felt the space around his body nearly solidify. In Xu Nuo's eyes, everything seemed to suddenly enter a slow-motion film; the enormous monkey leaping through the air, growing ever closer, almost obscured half of the sky!

This is the consequence of the body rapidly and abundantly secreting adrenaline. His physical potential is stimulated, yet the body itself is unable to withstand this immense force. Adrenaline is, for the fragile human body, the most terrifying poison.

Cough, cough. After recovering from immense pain, Xu Nuo trembled as he stood up unsteadily, his heart surging like turbulent waves as he gazed around the familiar rental apartment.

Glancing at the sunlit window, Xunuo let out a slight sigh of relief and swallowed hard, "Who is it? Come out!"

What the hell is going on? In this situation, a normal person would think these things, and Xu Nuo is no exception. Soon, the answer arrived

You may call me Ring, it is merely a title. " That voice sounded again, " However, I suggest you choose a more pleasant term to address me.

At this moment, a feeling known as death surged into Xu Nuo's heart. It was entirely instinctive; he sensed that a great danger was approaching him.

"You haven't done anything for me, so why should I do you any favors?" The ring echoed in Xu Nuo's mind with a tone of disdain, "Even if you work for a month and have some results, you won't get paid until the end of the month, right? Do you think I'm foolish?"

I want to go home

When that roar erupted, Xu Nuo was startled to the core, as if his soul had been pierced by an extremely sharp steel needle. As he instinctively turned to look in the direction of the sound, he immediately felt that something was terribly wrong.

This ring possesses powerful abilities, allowing it to establish a channel to a new world by accessing the information contained within the computer network after communicating with the promised computer

Xu Nuo swallowed hard, his voice trembling as he asked, "I can understand other things. But what does the ancient version of 'Jin Ping Mei' and the T virus mean?"

I am right in your hands. Once again, a voice was directly imprinted into Xu Nuo's mind, but fortunately, this time Xu Nuo's capacity to endure was much stronger.

"You just activated a brand new world entry portal, but you returned when faced with danger." A voice suddenly appeared in Xu Nuo's mind. It was in his mind, not in his ears.

"Let me make it clear, if you take the benefits and do not fulfill your duties, I will not let you off easily!" The tone of the ring carried a strong warning.

The ring that I am wearing on my hand, which was treated as a mere accessory when I bought the book last night, is something extraordinary. However, the specifics of how extraordinary it is remain unspoken, and Zhang Cheng does not know either. It simply feels incredibly remarkable.

Moments later, Xu Nuo became excited again, "Hahaha~~~ I have struck it rich! This is the extraordinary encounter of falling off a cliff and meeting an old man with a white beard! I actually stumbled upon it! Oh, heavens!"

"Jin Ping Mei... ancient edition. What do I want this for? To sell it as an antique?" Xu Nuo said, somewhat exasperated, as he vigorously rubbed his hair. "And that T virus, are you trying to destroy this world?!"

Hmph, do not speak of whether the technological capabilities on this planet can destroy me. Let me ask you this: are you willing to do so

Nima! The promise filled with enormous exclamation marks makes Xu Nuo feel utterly incomprehensible.

If he had not returned at a critical moment, he promised that he might have truly perished in that world and become fertilizer. That was the Golden Cudgel, weighing 13,500 pounds, left behind from the time of the Great Yu's flood control efforts

As for why the best things are not directly promised to him to enable him to complete the task as much as possible, it is because the ability of the ring itself has been greatly damaged and cannot meet this requirement

That might make my mood a little happier

... ...

Who? Just now, Xu Nuo stood up but immediately sat back down on the ground. His lips began to turn pale, indicating that he was frightened

It is just the literal meaning. The ring said in a nonchalant tone.

Do you believe that I will send you back for reprocessing

When faced with a life-and-death crisis, humans experience a rapid secretion of adrenaline, breaking the immense constraints that the body imposes on their actual strength and other abilities, resulting in superhuman capabilities. At this moment, the individual facing the threat of death can distinctly feel the rapid secretion of adrenaline! However, it is still not enough! At this moment, the individual facing the threat of death can distinctly feel the rapid secretion of adrenaline! However, it is still not enough!

"The energy of this world is too low," the ring's words made Xu Nuo retreat, "Alright, you win"

As the golden, shimmering rod loomed larger before Xu Nuo, exuding a terrifying power that seemed almost capable of tearing apart space, Xu Nuo's body was firmly suppressed by this overwhelming force, with even the surrounding space showing faint signs of rupture. In this critical moment, a strange sensation enveloped Xu Nuo, and suddenly, a thought surged in his mind.

Ultimately, the dizzy and disoriented Xu Nuo, struck by the enormous pie thrown down by the deities, reached an agreement with the magical ring. The ring opened up a world for Xu Nuo to assist it in completing its tasks, and upon success, Xu Nuo would receive certain benefits as a reward from the ring, which would be immensely delightful. As for the specific world to which Xu Nuo would be transported, it could not be chosen; however, the ring would do its utmost to ensure that the world became a suitable stage for Xu Nuo's actions.

You are ruthless

A massive interface appeared before Xu Nuo. After calming his mind, Xu Nuo looked up, and on the enormous interface were several options written: "Master-level Musical Ability," "Expertise in Vehicle Driving," "The Golden Lotus: Ancient Edition," "Proficiency in Light Firearms," "10,000 RMB," and "T Virus."

Hurry up, hurry up! With a face full of joy, Xu Nuo excitedly rubbed his hands together, "Hurry up and give me the benefits; I can hardly wait." Such a dreamlike event actually happening to him made Xu Nuo, who usually maintained a relatively composed demeanor, unable to contain his excitement.

After putting on the ring, Xu Nuo was chosen by the ring to enter these worlds as a helper to assist the ring in its tasks. The world he previously entered was none other than the renowned "Journey to the West"! As for the monkey wielding the dazzling golden staff who nearly smashed him into the ground to feed the earthworms, it goes without saying that it was the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

You may choose the seventh option, which is to give up. The cold voice of the ring echoed, "I can also choose to find someone else to do the work for me"
