Chapter 4, The Thief Character

At this moment, Zhou Zheng was not ignoring his "pseudo" father out of indifference; rather, he was genuinely in a state of shock and needed to understand what was truly happening.

According to the method of fortune I taught you before, guide the operation of the stellar forces

The stellar energy flowed into Zhou Zheng's body, bringing a warm sensation. The magic of the stellar energy enveloped him in a radiant glow. The reason it is called stellar energy is primarily because it originates from a mysterious force in the universe, and secondly, because when utilized, it can emit a glow that represents different levels of power.

It is precisely this that has led to the formation of the unique culture we see today

Seemingly reminded of Zhou Zheng's lack of resolve, Zhou Hongqiang brought over the meat soup: "Drink it."

Zhou Zhengben thought he would enter the game world of "Cangqiong Dalu," but what he saw was still inside the house, nothing had changed, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion of Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng dared not defy him; in his memory, Zhou Hongqiang's beatings were certainly no lighter than Yu Jianzhong's.

Obediently finishing the meat soup, Zhou Zheng placed the bowl back on the bedside table

Additional attribute: 60% chance to paralyze the target for 5 seconds

After much hesitation, Zhou Zheng ultimately decided to give it a try. His five years in the gaming industry made it difficult for him to let go. Moreover, what could possibly be worse than the current situation?

Zhou Hongqiang stood up and said, "Zheng'er, you should rest well. If you don't like it, you don't have to come to the playground to practice tomorrow. I will mention this to your Uncle Yu." Seeing Zhou Zheng's dazed expression, Zhou Hongqiang shook his head and left

No matter how bad it is, he is still my own son; Zhou Hongqiang cannot allow him to fend for himself.

However, two years have passed, yet there has been no progress whatsoever. The star power input by Zhou Hongqiang has vanished like a cow entering the sea, leaving no trace.

Subconsciously, Zhou Zheng was contemplating how to retract the dark light; otherwise, if the dark light continued to rampage for a while longer, he would no longer want anything in the entire room

In other words, once the character possesses the role, Zhou Zheng becomes the thief character, and the thief character is Zhou Zheng

The different colors of the star power can indicate the strength of the opponent

Black Light

Zhou Hongqiang said little more, allowing Zhou Zheng to sit properly, and then placed one hand on Zhou Zheng's back. Through his arm, a surge of energy flowed into Zhou Zheng's body. This energy was the star power cultivated by Zhou Hongqiang, a type of force generated under the cosmic storm.

Zhou Hongqiang's progress has been slow over the past two years, largely due to this; otherwise, with his talent, he would have been promoted by now, reaching the sixth rank of martial artist.

Having made a decision in my heart, I will no longer impose upon him

This is the attribute of black light that Zhou Zheng observed. For a dagger, its attack power can be described as extraordinary, and with even more extraordinary additional attributes, it has transcended the limits of description. These attributes manifested before Zhou Zheng's eyes as he gazed at the black light of the dagger.

Do you wish to enter the game

Very unusual

All of these, www.hetushu.com, are present in Zhou Zheng's memory

Usage Level: Level 180

If I am not mistaken, the rogue character in "The Azure Sky Continent" has indeed crossed over to a new world along with itself, and exists in the form of a game. The difference is that the character does not truly enter the game; rather, it is attached to the person.

As the leader, I have the right to make some meat soup; this privilege is still mine. Unlike others, the number of times they have had meat in the past two years can be counted on one hand.

Not everyone can become a martial artist; some things cannot be forced

For the past two years, one thing that Zhou Hongqiang has done every day is to input star power into Zhou Zheng, attempting to enhance Zhou Zheng's star power in order to break through as a novice martial artist and step into the world of martial artists

Zhou Hongqiang is an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, dressed in a plain checkered shirt and a pair of dress pants. On his wrist, he wears a Rolex gold watch, and his closely cropped hair gives him an exceptionally neat appearance. With his dark skin, if one were to strip him of his clothing and dress him in more rustic attire, one would easily believe he was a farmer.

How could Zhou Zheng possibly forget the divine weapon, Black Light, which ranks first among the daggers in "The Continent of the Sky"? In order to obtain it, Zhou Zheng endured countless hardships and dedicated nearly a year of his time before finally acquiring it, thus achieving supremacy in the world

Zhou Hongqiang merely smiled and said: "Your Uncle Yu has shown some mercy; otherwise, with his formidable reputation in the world of books and illustrations, I fear... However, a real man should not be daunted by a little pain. You must remember, you are my Zhou Hongqiang's son. No matter how great the suffering or pain, you must demonstrate that you are stronger than others"

The structure of the new world is entirely a fusion of the modern and the ancient.

This classification is derived from information obtained from external exotic beasts and toxic corpses

Zhou Zheng felt somewhat apprehensive as he looked at Zhou Hongqiang, after all, he had taken over the body of the rightful owner, making him a complete "false" son

Faced with this prompt sound, Zhou Zheng felt momentarily conflicted

With a thought, the dark light suddenly vanished, and the chaos of the wind within the house ultimately came to a halt

After two years, Zhou Zheng is still merely a trainee martial artist, unable to make any progress, which has significantly affected his reputation

Black Light

The mysterious phenomenon startled Zhou Zheng, causing him to jump up in surprise

How is your health, Zheng'er

Yet such an ordinary person is the leader of the besieged city, wielding control over the entire fortress

Additional Skill: Blade of Time and Space

Zhou Zheng was stunned, as an unimaginable scene left him momentarily at a loss for words

Zhou Hongqiang sighed as he withdrew his hand, shaking his head unconsciously

The imposing aura emanating from the black light, forming a blade's edge, caused the room to become damaged in every corner

It was only when the star force entered that a sound like "ding" resonated in Zhou Zheng's mind, as if something had been activated.

Having played "Sky Continent" for five years, accompanied day and night by the rogue character and the color of the books in the game, how could Zhou Zheng not recognize it? This character model is precisely the one he chose when he first created his character. At this moment, the character appears before him, prompting whether to enter the game.

What is the situation?

The only regret, I fear, is my own son

With Zhou Zheng's command, I felt a slight dizziness in my mind, and my eyes lost focus for less than a second

After two years of persistence, even he began to wonder if he was merely engaging in a futile effort, questioning the feasibility of this approach. Otherwise, how could there have been no progress at all over the past two years? Deep down, there was an indescribable sense of disappointment. Looking at Zhou Zheng, who had his eyes closed yet wore a look of astonishment, Zhou Hongqiang suddenly felt that perhaps he should not force him.

Zhou Zheng found it somewhat amusing yet exasperating: "Perhaps I have become obsessed with the game and am experiencing hallucinations?"

... ...

Alternatively, it should be considered to include certain species that exist only in other realms, and then blend these three elements together to create a terrifying new world

However, for some reason, Zhou Zheng still felt that this world had some differences, though he could not specify what they were

Zhou Zheng was astonished to discover that a character model had unexpectedly appeared in his mind

White, blue, green, purple, orange, red, divided into six levels, with a promotion to a higher color level every three segments. Although Zhou Hongqiang is at the fifth stage of martial arts, his star power classification is still at the blue stage, allowing him to emit only a faint blue halo

Zhou Zheng felt a sense of bewilderment; it was one thing for him to traverse through time, but he had also brought along the game character from hetushu.com. The development of events was far too mysterious

Reluctantly, Zhou Zheng still replied with a sentence

The next scene would undoubtedly leave Zhou Zheng dumbfounded, as a heavy sensation filled his palm, and a mysterious ancient dagger appeared, shimmering with an orange-red glow. Then, the entire room was enveloped by the sword's aura, the air transforming into a blade, distorting as it twisted, and with sheer momentum, it shredded some fragile objects.

What does it matter to an ordinary person? As long as I, Zhou Hongqiang, am still here, I will ensure his safety for a lifetime

Upon entering Zhou Zheng's room, the sternness on Zhou Hongqiang's face faded, revealing a paternal side.

Place a bowl of meat soup on the bedside table. Due to limited conditions, meat is not always available. Outside the city walls, there are many animals, but those capable of hunting them are few. Each of these fierce creatures is a mutated species under the cosmic storm, incredibly terrifying.

Yes

After a long while, Zhou Zheng seemed to have thought of something and softly called out: "Character attributes!"

Evening

Attack Power: 12500

Zhou Hongqiang can undoubtedly be considered one of the luckiest among the fortunate. Although his wife has departed, he has managed to keep his son. The virus brought by the cosmic storm did not tear his family apart. Moreover, under the power of the cosmic storm, he has acquired innate energy, achieving a remarkable status in this new world.

Alas, my dagger, the Black Light, has turned to smoke before it could unleash its deadly wrath

It hurts a little
