Chapter 40: The Card of One Hundred Thousand Death Warriors

Wang Kun was currently on a street not far from the towering skyscraper that reached into the clouds. This time, the system had assigned him the identity of an ordinary young man from Hong Kong Island.

But identity, to Wang Kun now, was of little importance. After all, he had entered this replica world with his true self. With his current planet-level strength, entering these modern-background replica worlds was akin to a casual sightseeing tour.

A few minutes later, Wang Kun crossed two streets and arrived smoothly at the Pearl Tower’s ground floor lobby.

Beep! Special location check-in: (Activated. Current special location detected: Pearl Tower.)

“Deep Blue, I want to check in!” Hearing the system’s prompt, Wang Kun was instantly energized and called out the activation phrase in his mind.

Beep! Check-in successful!

Congratulations, host, you have obtained the special item: Hundred Thousand Death Warrior Card +100.

“A special item, Hundred Thousand Death Warrior Card?”

Wang Kun immediately calmed his thoughts and examined the details of this item, curious about its true nature. After reading the introduction, he quickly understood that this was indeed a remarkable special item.

The Hundred Thousand Death Warrior Card could transform a targeted individual into a death warrior completely loyal to him. Moreover, once the card had been used on a target, even if the target died, Wang Kun could revive them through the card, though not without limits—the revival required consumption of attribute points.

Furthermore, once Wang Kun used the card on a target, no matter if he returned to the Devouring Starry Sky world or entered another replica world, those villainous plot characters enslaved by the card could follow him into any world.

According to the power system of the Devouring Starry Sky world, the Hundred Thousand Death Warrior Card was a miraculous treasure capable of enslaving a target’s soul.

Of course, aside from the system’s detailed introduction, there were several restrictions on the card’s use. The target must either be a villain or have reached a certain value of evil, and—most crucially—the target must be female.

Well, this item seemed designed for him to build an army of female death warriors.

Thinking of this, Wang Kun instantly thought of a target: the Zerg Queen within the Zerg hive in Shennongjia of the Devouring Starry Sky world.

The Zerg species were all female, and every Zerg Queen was synonymous with beauty and danger. Now that Wang Kun had the Hundred Thousand Death Warrior Card, once he became a Domain Lord, even without any soul techniques, he could enslave a world-level Zerg Queen safely and without risk.

From this perspective, the Hundred Thousand Death Warrior Card was indeed a fine tool for cultivating subordinates.

Pulling himself back from his thoughts, Wang Kun quickly sized up the interior of the skyscraper.

The lower half of Pearl Tower was now officially open to the public, with crowds coming and going to visit the building.

Taking a high-speed elevator, Wang Kun soon arrived at the ninety-fifth floor—the highest level open to the public. The public elevator only went up to this floor.

Meanwhile, on the ninety-sixth floor, several Western workers were spreading a layer of white powder throughout every room and corridor.

Within moments, their task complete, the group entered one of the rooms.

“The show is about to start,” said the leader, a fierce-looking man, as he triggered the room’s fire sprinkler system.

Instantly, the fire facilities activated. Water sprayed onto the floor, and the white powder ignited upon contact, filling the room with flames and thick smoke.

And the masterminds had already boarded the elevator heading for the building’s top floors.

On the ninety-fifth floor, just as Wang Kun was about to head for the ninety-sixth via the fire escape, he suddenly sensed the situation upstairs.

“Fire has broken out—looks like the plot has officially begun.”

With that thought, Wang Kun’s figure blurred, and in an instant, he entered the ninety-sixth floor through the fire escape.

By now, the fire on the ninety-sixth floor was raging. However, since the fire detection system had activated, all vents were sealed.

After a thorough scan, clad in his Black God suit, Wang Kun quickly came up with a plan.

The combustibles on the floor, self-igniting upon contact with water, were impossible to extinguish by conventional means. But Wang Kun had psychic power!

Mobilizing his psychic force, the combustibles and burning materials were gathered and compressed into a fiery sphere by sheer psychic might.

Bang!

With a powerful explosion, one side of the building’s floor-to-ceiling glass shattered instantly.

All burning materials and furniture inside were hurled out through the broken glass, plunging into the sea below the tower.

In less than a few dozen seconds, everything burning on the ninety-sixth floor—building materials, furniture, and more—had flown out of the building.

Inside, the once-luxurious decor was now reduced to a bare shell. Even if another fire were started, without combustibles, it would not burn.

Outside, the crowd gathered at the foot of the Pearl Tower wore baffled expressions as they witnessed the spectacle.

“What’s going on? How did the fire just… fly out on its own?”

At the tower’s top, the criminal gang’s leader who had just reached the summit quickly received a message from his associates.

“What are you doing? How did the fire suddenly go out?”

“What?” The leader was bewildered.

He soon received a short video clip.

The footage showed the aftermath—flames on the ninety-sixth floor, shattering glass, and burning materials flying into the sea below.

“Damn it!”

“You two, go down and check it out.”

The leader, after viewing the scene, hastily ordered two henchmen downstairs, while he prepared to capture Zhao Longji with the remaining crew.

After a fierce gunfight, thanks to the undercover agents they had placed beside Zhao Longji, his bodyguards were soon eliminated under a pincer attack.

Yet, just when the fierce leader believed victory was assured, he and his remaining henchmen were suddenly pierced through by a mysterious weapon, dying instantly.

Zhao Longji, who had been held at gunpoint, was utterly shocked by the scene.

At that moment, Wang Kun’s figure suddenly appeared before him.

In truth, Wang Kun had not appeared suddenly; his speed was simply so fast that Zhao Longji hadn’t noticed his arrival.

“Mr. Zhao! Would you like to solve your troubles once and for all?”

“Who are you?” Zhao Longji eyed Wang Kun, inwardly guessing.

“Who I am doesn’t matter. All you need to know is that I can resolve all your problems.”

“By the way, on my way up, I happened to see the fire on the ninety-sixth floor. For the safety of Hong Kong Island’s people, I casually put it out.” Wang Kun smiled and spoke with ease.
