"You also took blood salts?"

Facing Chen Qi's question, Hammond was stunned for a moment.

Unexpectedly, the player in front of me was quite smart and he guessed the truth right away.

It's a pity that he is about to die.

But being able to witness his own transformation, this guy deserved his death.

Inexplicably, Hammond began to look at Chen Qi with pity.

······

"I did take blood salts. To be more precise, I took Shanshen cells."

"You know what? It's a really wonderful feeling."

"In my dream, I can fully display my talents and abilities."

"What can an extraordinary person do? If I were not trapped in this special body, I would still be able to trample you to death."

"Why is this world so unfair? Why can't I be allowed to show my full potential?"

Hammond became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face began to become ferociously distorted.

The image of the scholar has always been calm and wise, but now Hammond looks like an evil old wizard.

But if you consider that this guy's brain cells have been devoured by mountain god cells, it is very reasonable.

This guy's brain has been eaten out, it would be strange if he wasn't crazy.

In other words, Hammond usually hides himself like a normal person, which is already amazing.

······

"Do scholars also have a very bad life in the outside world?"

"Aren't you protected by Convention No. 178 promulgated by the World Government?"

Hammond's full of resentment must have been accumulated over the years.

Chen Qi was quite curious about this. His past knowledge of the outside world came entirely from various sources.

Now that we have finally encountered a live outsider, we need to gather some more information and let him speak out.

After all, Chen Qi will leave Blue Taro Country sooner or later, so he should prepare for a rainy day.

······

"Protect?"

"Hahaha, you said that is protection?"

"What nonsense Convention No. 178, that is the shackles that bind us."

"In the outside world, scholars must register with an institution designated by the world government and put a mark on themselves before they can be protected by treaties."

"And free scholars like us will never be recognized as scholars at all."

"You humans are always so despicable and shameless."

"This world is supposed to be ruled by us Tianlong people, and you are just slaves raised by us."

"Our proud Celestial Dragons will never be slaves, and you will never try to tame us."

"Sooner or later, we will take back everything we have lost and trample you under our feet again."

Perhaps it was too long since he had talked about his inner ambitions with anyone, but Hammond became more and more excited as he talked about it.

His deep-seated contempt for humanity and resentment towards the world government were vividly displayed.

The more Chen Qi listened, the more impatient he became. If this guy hadn't occasionally leaked something valuable, Chen Qi would have wanted to block his mouth.

I never expected that this Hammond would actually be an anti-humanity element?

Moreover, this guy is not only reactionary in his heart, but also unambiguous in his actions. He actually joined an evil organization composed of aliens called Skull and Bones.

Really damn.

······

From a human perspective, it is of course necessary for time bombs like scholars to register.

It’s okay if you don’t come into contact with extraordinary things. If you still hide among ordinary people after being exposed, wouldn’t the ordinary humans around you be equivalent to living next to a nuclear bomb?

Something must have happened before for the world government to take such measures.

Although Chen Qi didn't know what the mark was for, since the World Government had publicly promulgated a protection treaty, it would inevitably take certain protective measures, otherwise he would be slapped in the face.

Perhaps those brands were really just a protective measure, used to track down the scholar's murderer.

This method was very common in the ancient extraordinary world, and was usually used by large extraordinary forces to protect their core disciples.

As an upright human being, You Qi promised never to betray human civilization.

Chen Qi naturally reprimanded Hammond for his nonsense.

·····

In response to Chen Qi's rebuttal, Hammond's eyes turned red with anger.

If the only reason left in his heart hadn't told him that he couldn't beat the opponent now, he would have planned to eat Chen Qi alive.

"What do you, a country bumpkin, know?"

"Do you know how vast the outside world is?"

"The entire human civilization is just like you, just a country bumpkin trapped in a corner. What is there to be proud of?"

"The World Government has branded us so that we can be easily recruited at any time."

"Whenever ancient civilization ruins appear, or the existence of some alien civilization ruins is discovered, we will be recruited by those big countries and be the first to be sent in as cannon fodder."

"What a sad fate this is, why can't we resist?"

"The prosperity and prosperity of the entire human civilization is entirely based on the squeeze of our knowledge."

"We should be the masters of human civilization."

Hammond became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and even his orifices began to bleed.

Chen Qi suspected that if he continued to argue with this guy, he would be able to kill him with his words alone.

"Hammond, I won't talk to you any more."

"I don't care what plans you have in mind. If you surrender without mercy, I will let you live in the royal capital."

"If you dare to resist arrest, I will make your blood splatter on the spot."

"You are already planning to die anyway, so why not give me some face?"

Seeing that he could not get any more valuable information from Hammond, Chen Qi decided to get down to business.

Although there is a high probability that Hammond will fight to the end, but what if someone figures it out?

After chatting for a while, Chen Qi decided to give Hammond one last chance.

······

"I'll catch you without any effort, hahaha!"

"It's impossible for me to go to the royal capital. After all, it's right under the devil's nose."

"If it weren't for the fact that the Mountain God Cells were restricted by the God's Ruins and couldn't leave the Blue Taro Country, I would have left this miserable place long ago."

"Are you curious about what happens after a scholar dies? Why not see it for yourself?"

Hammond suddenly calmed down and felt like he was having a comeback.

Chen Qi lamented in his heart, as expected, things will always evolve in the worst direction.

But it didn't matter, he had actually guessed what Hammond wanted to do.

"Hammond, I don't know what happens to scholars after they die."

"But I can guess what you want to do."

"You guys have worked so hard to feed the mountain god cells, don't you just want to condense them again after death and turn yourself into a mountain spirit?"

"What a crazy idea. Are you sure you can succeed?"

"Even if you succeed, the defense mechanism of King's Game will kill you in the next moment."

"After death, you become a mountain spirit." This is the answer Chen Qi came up with after referring to Hammond's motives.

It's obvious that this guy no longer wants to be an ordinary person and wants to master extraordinary power.

But as long as a scholar lives, he can only be an ordinary person.

So there is only one way for Hammond to die and survive.

But simply dying is definitely not feasible.

Because if a scholar could transform into another life after death, Hammond would have committed suicide long ago if he hated human identity so much.

Combined with this guy taking mountain god cells, let those magnetic field beings eat his brain.

No matter how unbelievable it was, Chen Qi could only draw one conclusion: Hammond's plan seemed to be to transform himself into a mountain spirit.

If he could succeed, he might even be able to grab the sacred urn, which was a real wishful thinking.
