The Federation moved swiftly.
Two days later.
The Simulation Field specially set up for Du Ge was ready.
Du Ge lay in the familiar assessment pod.
But this time was different.
Lying in the pod, he felt no psychological burden at all, as relaxed as if he were on vacation.
As the countdown “five, four, three, two, one” ended.
Du Ge’s view shifted, and he was directly in the Simulation Field. With his mental power reaching 120,000, he didn’t even feel dizzy.
Moreover.
With such high mental power, he could freely explore this world in spirit form and ultimately choose the most suitable body to possess, securing victory from the start.
This is also why there were no Alien Star warriors in the new recruit assessments.
They were too disruptive to fairness.
…
This Simulation Field was different from the previous ones. The streets were bustling with traffic and skyscrapers, and planes occasionally flew across the sky. The city streets were teeming with people.
On top of the skyscrapers.
LED screens in the square were scrolling through various advertisements.
At first glance, it gave Du Ge an odd sense of returning to Earth.
“A modern urban setting?”
After five minutes of observing the world, Du Ge drifted randomly, unable to discern anything unusual about this world.
It was a normal modern society.
Backgrounds related to modern society usually involve war, the supernatural, ancient martial arts, or superpowers.
Of course.
It could also be an apocalypse. The world before an apocalypse is always well-ordered.
Anything can happen in a modern urban setting.
In such a world, the higher the status of the body you possess, the better.
After all.
The higher the status, the greater the social impact, and the more advantageous it is to start.
And in such a world, there are rarely any creatures with extremely high mental power that could cause possession to fail. Judging by the level of technology below, it doesn’t seem like they could develop high-tech targeting the soul.
…
Five minutes later.
The protective shield disappeared.
Du Ge was hovering above a large city.
Watching several souls hurriedly enter hospitals, Du Ge couldn’t help but laugh silently.
The Simulation Field’s naive children still followed the tradition of possessing the weak and sick to increase the success rate!
Having lived on Qi Yuan Star for so long, they didn’t realize that in the high-pressure modern city, it was easier to possess the overworked elites, and it was less likely to be noticed.
After all.
They had no time to exercise, living in a state of sub-health, their mental power might be very low, ensuring a successful possession every time.
However.
Du Ge, the big shot, no longer deigned to engage in the despicable behavior of bullying others by following them with his high mental power.
Although this was just a Simulation Field where no one could die, he still planned to treat it as an Alien Star Battlefield, where at the start, you rarely encounter other warriors.
Every world he experienced was a treasure to Du Ge.
So far.
The worlds he had experienced were relatively sparsely populated, and he had rarely seen such large cities with millions of people.
Skills are important, but so is experience.
…
Modern society is filled with various electromagnetic waves, which are no less harmful to the soul than sunlight.
The two combined.
The damage to the soul doubled, which is why those candidates hurried to possess bodies.
However.
Du Ge, with his 120,000 mental power, wasn’t afraid of this slight consumption. He leisurely drifted above the city, looking for a suitable body to possess, and also trying to find out what the real main storyline of this world was.
Speaking of which, this was his first experience with an urban background. The previous apocalypse didn’t count.
Little did he know.
While Du Ge was wandering at will.
Many eyes in the city were following his movements.
At the same time.
In a flash message group, information was being exchanged rapidly:
“Did you all see that? There’s a ghost king floating above us.”
“Holy shit, this is crazy. When did ghost kings dare to wander around in broad daylight? Aren’t they afraid of the sun’s scorching?”
“I really want to go up and take him down!”
“If a ghost king dares to come out during the day, you’re just asking to be sent to your death!”
“Is it the one from Beimang Mountain?”
“The one from Beimang Mountain wouldn’t dare to come out during the day, right?”
“He just hasn’t come out, doesn’t mean he doesn’t dare.”
“Do you think the seal on Tianshi Mountain has broken, releasing an ancient ghost?”
“Wait, let me ask my elders.”
“Actually, I saw several ghosts enter hospitals just now. I wanted to deal with them, but then this ghost king suddenly appeared and scared me.”
“It’s not just here, other cities also have souls possessing bodies in broad daylight. Some colleagues have already taken out a few, they’re said to be weak…”
“Ghost king appears, ghosts walk in daylight, could something big be about to happen?”
“Do you think the ghost king in the sky is looking for something?”
“Why can’t he look for it at night? Why come out during the day? I think he’s just provoking us. Who has a long-range magic weapon? Give him a shot, he’s too arrogant…”
“Old Zhang has a soul-breaking arrow.”
“Go to hell, you want me to shoot a ghost king with a soul-breaking arrow, you’re asking me to die.”
“Let’s report it upwards. A ghost king is not something we can afford to provoke…”
“Holy shit, look, the ghost king is heading towards the city government.”
“Badass, he’s not really going to challenge the government building’s Mingguang Array in broad daylight, is he?”
“This ghost king doesn’t seem very smart.”
“Too confident in his own strength, I guess!”
…
That’s right.
Du Ge indeed planned to possess a high-ranking official.
In the Sea God Simulation Field, possessing several pirate kings gave him a great advantage from the start. With such high mental power, why would he possess an ordinary person and slowly climb up?
It’s just a Simulation Field, who cares about Nan Youlong’s opinion.
But just as he was about to enter the government building to look around.
Bang!
On the ground.
A Bagua (Eight Trigrams) array suddenly appeared.
Then.
A beam of white light shot out from the top of the government building, causing Du Ge a sharp pain, and then, he was forcefully repelled.
Damn it!
An array!
Du Ge hovered in the air, looking at the government building enveloped by the entire Bagua array, utterly astonished.
Alright!
This was indeed not an ordinary urban setting.
And it was a good thing he entered the Simulation Field with 120,000 mental power from the Alien Star Battlefield.
If it had been before, even with just over 2,000 mental power, that one hit would have scattered his soul and eliminated him.
That hit also woke Du Ge up.
From the Simulation Field to the Alien Star Battlefield, his victories had been too easy.
Even on Earth, he was just a twenty-year-old youth. With such achievements, how could he not be a bit arrogant?
Especially in the Simulation Field, where you can’t die, although he always thought experience was important, Du Ge entered with the mindset of playing and leveling up his skills.
Now, this sudden strike had thoroughly awakened him.
This was his first encounter with an array targeting the soul.
Indeed.
You can never be careless at any time.
Possession must be swift.
Otherwise.
Underestimating the enemy like this on the Alien Star Battlefield, he might die without knowing how.
Good thing it’s a Simulation Field!
After one last look at the Bagua array that he would remember for a lifetime, Du Ge turned and headed straight for the south of the city. Just now, he had seen a rather handsome man there, surrounded by people offering flowers and asking for autographs.
Clearly, he was a celebrity.
In terms of social influence, some officials seemed to be no match for celebrities, whose fan base was a natural advantage for Alien Star warriors…
Pfft!
With a soft sound.
Du Ge easily collided with the man’s body.
“What was that noise?”
Beside him.
A female voice asked in confusion.
Du Ge pulled out a jade pendant from his waist that had split in two, saying, “I might have accidentally broken it just now.”
He knew clearly that the jade pendant wasn’t broken by him, but when he forcibly possessed the star, the jade pendant emitted a white light attempting to stop him, but it couldn’t withstand the force and shattered.
“It’s broken, it’s broken!” The woman beside him glanced at the jade pendant and frowned slightly, “I’ll ask Daoist Priest Suwen for another one later.”
Daoist Priest Suwen?
Du Ge noted the name and then looked at his personal interface:
