The First Order Chapter 610
Advertisement
Chapter 610 You only have one chance. Are you ready?Actually, Ren Xiaosu already knew that even though Zhou Yingxue had stolen so much food from the creeper vine, with over a dozen people saved, the creeper vine would not have discovered their whereabouts because of those actions.
The reason why the creeper vine was so angry was because it couldn’t do anything about Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu had severed so many of its feelers, and now he wanted to escape just like that? How could there be such a good deal in this world?
Even an idiot would retaliate if you punched them!
Since Ren Xiaosu was the target of all that hatred, why not let the others get away?
As expected, the moment he released his grip from the group, the creeper vine concentrated all its attacks on him and left Zhou Yingxue and the others alone.
Zhou Yingxue turned around and looked at Ren Xiaosu in a daze. “Master, I’m not leaving.”
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, “Didn’t you tell Luo Lan earlier to ‘take care of yourselves first’?”
Zhou Yingxue was on the verge of tears. “This is different. Master, leave with us! There must be some other way!”
In the past, this maidservant was always thinking about retiring to a life of enjoyment after she had earned enough money by riding the coattails of her master. Who would want to be a servant to a man for the rest of their life? Wouldn’t it be better to live life as a carefree and rich woman by herself?
She had wanted to leave on two occasions, but she eventually chose to stay behind.
At that time, Zhou Yingxue consoled herself, “I still haven’t earned enough money, so I can’t leave yet. I’ll just follow Master around for a bit longer and earn more money first.”
But gradually, those thoughts never surfaced again.
Zhou Yingxue suddenly felt her heart aching badly when she saw Ren Xiaosu getting surrounded by the vines alone.
She was clearly only relying on him to make more money, so why did her heart feel so much pain for him?
“Leave quickly.” Ren Xiaosu smiled as he severed countless vines again. “I’ll meet up with y’all outside the stronghold later.”

But at this moment, Ren Xiaosu was stunned when he saw his surroundings.
Then, as Luo Lan and the others stood still, they saw Ren Xiaosu take out a newspaper from somewhere while fighting the vines!
Luo Lan looked at Ren Xiaosu as he flipped through the newspaper with one hand. He looked so relaxed and at ease.
Luo Lan suddenly felt it shouldn’t be a problem if they left Ren Xiaosu here alone. Just based on how calm and composed he was, it didn’t even look like he was in any danger! ‘More importantly, why the hell are you reading the paper at a time like this?!’
All of a sudden, Ren Xiaosu raised his head. He looked at the newspaper in his hands and compared it with the nearby buildings, even raising the newspaper to compare.
The newspaper in Ren Xiaosu’s hand was from more than ten days ago. At that time, there was an article about a creeper vine in Stronghold 61 that did not wither even though winter had arrived. A lot of people came to see the creeper vines and take pictures with it like tourists.
There was a picture insert for that newspaper report of the family who planted the creeper vine. The creeper vine had started growing from there before spreading outwards later on.
The media even interviewed one of the residents, to which the resident smiled and explained he had just scattered some seeds to grow. He did not expect the creeper vine would turn out so well.
At that time, the tall building next to that apartment building stuck out to Ren Xiaosu. There was a very eye-catching red billboard that read: “Jiafu Fuqiao Pedicure and Spa.”
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was looking at an apartment building in the distance and then next to it. Wasn’t that Jiafu Fuqiao Pedicure and Spa?!
If plants were incapable of moving their own roots, wouldn’t it mean the roots of the creeper vine were right below that apartment building?!
Luo Lan broke down and said, “Oh my god, I’ve really gotta give it to you! Can you stop reading the paper in this situation? Are you trying to show off how strong you are in combat or what!”

Right now, the creeper vines were attacking Ren Xiaosu wave after wave, but Ren Xiaosu was still able to block every attack they made without much effort.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhou Yingxue. “If I can help you to find its roots, how confident are you of controlling it?”
Zhou Yingxue was stunned. She did not expect Ren Xiaosu to suddenly talk about this. But she snapped out of it and answered, “If it can still be considered a plant, I’m a 100% sure I can control it!”
Ren Xiaosu laughed. “Then I have a gift for you.”
Ren Xiaosu suddenly broke through the creeper vine’s encirclement and headed straight for that red billboard.
Only at this moment did everyone finally understand that when Ren Xiaosu was reading the newspaper earlier, he had found a clue to the whereabouts of the creeper vine’s roots.
Luo Lan sighed and said, “To think that he can still maintain his rationality at a critical moment like this. I’m impressed.”
Zhou Yingxue snorted. “How else could he be my master? Damn fatty, start running on your own for a bit. Don’t keep making me carry you all the way. You’re a man! Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”
Luo Lan was so angry he wanted to start cursing on the spot. Why was there such a huge difference in the treatment of two people?! The lady’s words could really be harsh if she was not holding back!
When Ren Xiaosu suddenly rushed towards the creeper vine’s roots, the creeper vine became even more enraged.
It also seemed to have realized what Ren Xiaosu was trying to do. Roots were the lifeline of a plant. No matter how powerful this creeper vine might be, it would not be able to transcend the laws of nature. It was just like how a superhuman would die instantly if they were shot in the head or heart. Although everyone had become stronger, they were unable to transcend the original rules!
Now, Ren Xiaosu was leading the way in front of the group. As he got closer and closer to the billboard, the creeper vines around him also started acting crazier and crazier!
This confirmed Ren Xiaosu’s thoughts. The creeper vine was beginning to feel afraid. If it weren’t afraid, it wouldn’t have reacted so strongly!
Luo Lan and the others saw Ren Xiaosu activating his armor again. Not only that, but Ren Xiaosu had also taken out a grenade from somewhere. He did not deliberately throw it at a specific spot and only wanted to disrupt the attention and attack rhythm of the creeper vines.
“Wait, Ren Xiaosu, be careful of the sewers below you. Its feelers can shoot out of the sewers!” Luo Lan still had a lingering fear of this happening. He had wanted to escape into the sewers but he witnessed someone get dragged under.
However, Luo Lan found it a little strange. It seemed that no creeper vines had ever emerged from the sewers to sneak up on Ren Xiaosu while they were escaping this entire way.
Actually, when Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue entered the villa to save Li Ran earlier, he had let Zhou Yingxue enter the house first and secretly unleashed “Old Xu” behind her back.
But as Old Xu was not a lifeform, the creeper vines showed no interest in him at all.
At this moment, Old Xu was right under Ren Xiaosu’s feet and following him closely as it charged forward in attack. With Old Xu’s strength, no matter how many feelers were hiding in the sewers, it would be impossible for it to emerge from the manholes to attack Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu looked at the red billboard that was already within a hundred meters of him and estimated how much power he had left in his armor. He turned around and asked Zhou Yingxue, “Are you scared?”
“No!” Zhou Yingxue shook her head. She wasn’t lying. With Ren Xiaosu chopping down the vines in front of her, she really was not afraid at all!
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, “You only have one chance. Are you ready?”

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
