Worlds' Apocalypse Online

Chapter 995: Mystic-type Searcher!

Gu Qing Shan considered every single piece of information he had obtained, contemplated them up over and over again, reflecting upon them and carefully considering each and every bit of this information.

After finally contemplating for a while, he still sighed.

There’s too little information.

Water God is sleeping within a Card.

The Earth Creator took that Card and sent me directly into the river of time.

——-I truly have no idea where the Earth Creator would place Water God.

If I can’t find the Water God Card, what should I do?

Hmm, I’ve also come into contact with another [Order].

The [Angel Order].

But the [Angel Order] is a mutual enemy of the [Demon King Order], even if I can find it, the [Demon King Order] would only throw its life away to kill it as soon as they meet.

——-and I can only travel to the giant corpse’s place when I advance to the next realm.

I can’t even go there even if I wanted to right now.

Furthermore, since the [Angel Order] and the [Demon King Order] are mutual enemies, its power would most likely be weaker than Water God.

In the end, the best solution is still to find Water God.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head and slowly sat down near the edge of the ship, seriously contemplating about how to find Water God.

[The Empress] continued to fly forward through the endless space vortex.

Time slowly passed.

Gu Qing Shan still hadn’t managed to come up with a solution.

Meanwhile, Laura had already asked him several times where should [The Empress] continue to head next.

But Gu Qing Shan didn’t have a destination to provide her.

He could only continue to ask himself what to do and kept thinking.

Several hours later.

Laura emerged from the cabin of the ship and sat next to Gu Qing Shan.

She tilted her head and sneaked glances at him.

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes were obscured by a piece of black cloth, his lips pursed tightly, his fingers holding up his palm in consideration.

He was still contemplating.

Seeing him like that, Laura silently stood up and left.

Another three hours later.

Laura returned.

This time, she didn’t sneak a glance but looked directly at Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan maintained his previous posture without any change.

He was still contemplating.

Laura silently sighed and poked Gu Qing Shan with her finger.

“Hm? Laura?” Gu Qing Shan was apparently snapped back to reality. historical

“Gu Qing Shan, what are you doing?” Laura asked.

Looking at the cute little girl in front of him, Gu Qing Shan suddenly recalled something.

“Ah, that’s right, Laura, do you have any treasures that can help me search for items?” he asked.

“Of course I do, what do you need to find?” Laura happily replied.

“An [Order]”

“An [Order]? Isn’t the [Demon King Order] with you right now?”

“I want to find another [Order]”

“...I’ve never heard of any treasures that can search for an [Order]”

“Hm, to be exact, it is actually a Card that contains an [Order]——- try and think carefully about it, since you’re the person who has seen the most treasures in this Reality” Gu Qing Shan told her.

Laura sighed and explained: “Searcher-type treasures are extremely rare, and the best of which are all Mysticism creations that require harsh prerequisites before they can be activated”

Seeing how urgent Gu Qing Shan needed it, Laura carefully thought for a bit before adding: “The majority of these items can only search for physical items——- but what you’re looking for is a Card, and an [Order], both of which have gone beyond the concept of ‘physical items’, so the only solution I can think of is a kind of Mystic-type searcher ability that has its own intelligence—— don’t look at me, I can only grab treasures, not look for them”

Hearing Laura’s explanation, Gu Qing Shan suddenly thought of the colorful rooster—–

The colorful rooster is a function of the War God UI that was affixed to an item, and it fit Laura’s description of having a certain level of intelligence.

Maybe it can find Water God?

But it hasn’t been a full day since it was last activated so the colorful chicken can’t be used again yet.

Gu Qing Shan decided to ask the War God UI:

“War God UI, I want to find the Water God Card, can the colorful rooster give me any clues?”

[Ting]!

A clear chime.

The War God UI replied: [Unfortunately, War God Intelligence can only collect information within the 900 million World Layers that is both the most recent and related to you, it does not have an item search function]

Gu Qing Shan sighed helplessly.

Seeing the dejected look on his face, Laura couldn’t help but try to change the subject.

She shook his arm and said: “Let’s forget about it for now, I’m hungry, I want to eat your cooking”

“Alright”

Gu Qing Shan could only accept.

Laura happily smiled.

She skipped over to Zhang Ying Hao and Ye Fei Li to have them help her carry about the table sets.

Meanwhile, Gu Qing Shan prepared his cooking implements and spices, arranging them all on his cooking station.

Ok.

Let’s just eat first and get a change in perspective, maybe I’ll come up with something later?

With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan shifted his focus to cooking dinner.

He brandished his cleaver and told everyone: “I’ll be cooking today, consider it a celebration for our reunion. Tell me if you like to eat something in particular”

“I want noodles” Ye Fei Li raised his hand.

“Nope, today isn’t a good occasion for noodles” Gu Qing Shan rejected right away.

“Alright, then I want some egg fried rice” Ye Fei Li chose something else.

“So simple? Sure” Gu Qing Shan nodded.

Zhang Ying Hao looked at Ye Fei Li and complained: “Can’t your standards be a bit higher? It’s rare for him to cook for us and you only want egg fried rice?”

“Haha, I’m used to eating it back when I was still in school, if there’s a drink to go with it, that’ll be even better” Ye Fei Li happily replied.

“What about you?” Gu Qing Shan turned to Zhang Ying Hao.

“I want—– you know what, give me egg fried rice too, and a side of smoked innards, some liquor as well” Zhang Ying Hao said.

Gu Qing Shan turned to Laura.

“I’ve never had egg fried rice before, that sounds kind of nice, give me that too” Laura told him.

Gu Qing Shan then turned to Boss.

“I’ve never had egg fried rice before as well, I’ll trouble you” Boss smiled.

“Alright, we’ll just have egg fried rice today I guess”

Gu Qing Shan concluded.

Zhang Ying Hao sighed: “At the advent of the Apocalypse, to be able to eat some egg fried rice in the middle of the void, that’s quite something indeed”

Laura pulled Ye Fei Li’s sleeves and whispered: “My Duke, what exactly is this ‘egg fried rice’?”

Ye Fei Li whispered to answer her as well: “Your Majesty, it is a very simple dish that many people can make, but I’ve only seen Gu Qing Shan cook it well enough that you can’t help but praise him”

Gu Qing Shan didn’t bother with useless words and swiftly prepared his ingredients. After nimbly and skillfully cooking for a short while, five plates of egg fried rice were served on the table.

One plate for each person.

Laura also received a bottle of juice, Ye Fei Li a bottle of champagne, Zhang Ying Hao a bottle of strong liquor——

“What would you like to drink?” Gu Qing Shan asked Boss.

Boss looked at the others: “Give me one of each, I’d like to try them out”

“Very well”

Gu Qing Shan gave him three bottles, and made a glass of cocktail for himself.

“Come, let us all have a toast to congratulate the fact that we aren’t dead” Ye Fei Li raised his cup.

Zhang Ying Hao also raised his cup, but glared at Ye Fei Li: “Oi, who the hell makes a toast like that? This is to commemorate this occasion where we unite and enjoy good food”

“But it’s currently the Apocalypse, as we talk, countless worlds are being destroyed by the Apocalypse of a parallel world, and even more are being consumed by [Chaos]” Ye Fei Li refuted.

“And you have a solution?” Zhang Ying Hao kept staring at him.

“I don’t” Ye Fei Li sighed dejectedly.

“That’s why we need to keep up our form, to make sure that if there is any chance to overturn the situation, we’d be ready to take it” Zhang Ying Hao told him.

“Fine” Ye Fei Li replied.

“Well said” Gu Qing Shan also agreed.

The group knocked their cups together and began to eat.

Gu Qing Shan’s cooking skills were naturally top-notch, the group ate and drank, sometimes having a chat, but it was overall a rare occasion to rest.

After the meal, Boss returned to lying down, Ye Fei Li continued to stir up with own [Chaos] UI, Laura went back into the cabin of the ship, while Zhang Ying Hao took out a small bag and gave it to Gu Qing Shan.

“Help me prepare this a bit, I need to feed the little guy”

Looking inside, Gu Qing Shan found that it was a fresh fish head about the size of two large fists that carried a faint presence of mana.

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but comment: “This is quite the good ingredient—— so he doesn’t like to eat egg yolks or strawberries anymore?”

Zhang Ying Hao replied: “Hm, those are all junk food, I’ve only just managed to fix his bad eating habits from before”

Gu Qing Shan asked again: “This is a fish from a magic world right? Humans can eat it without issues, but he probably can’t”

“He can—– after coming into the 900 million World Layers, he’s also slowly maturing. Eating food that contains energy like this can help him grow and develop faster” Zhang Ying Hao explained.

“Ah, then it’s fine”

“That’s right, and he has a bit of sweet tooth”

“Hm”

Gu Qing Shan took the fish head, added a bit of nutritious herbs to it and carefully began to cook.

After a while.

The fish head was cooked and served.

Boss who was laying on the floor had a sniff of the smell and called out from the other side of the deck: “What is that? It smells good”

Zhang Ying Hao loudly replied: “My pet’s food”

Boss said nothing else.

Gu Qing Shan placed the dish on the floor, went up to the table to pour himself a glass of liquor and slowly sipped it.

Zhang Ying Hao carefully took out a Card and called out gently:

“Time to eat, come out”

He then tossed the Card onto the deck.

A hole opened up on the deck of the ship.

A small black cat climbed out from inside.

He first looked at Zhang Ying Hao and softly meowed, then was swiftly attracted by the fish head that gave off a deliciously sweet scent.

“Today it’s our old friend Gu Qing Shan who made you that fish head” Zhang Ying Hao said.

The black cat heard and turned to Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan smiled and waved to greet it.

The black cat nodded at him, then softly walked up to the dish.

He began to eat.

Zhang Ying Hao stood on the side and was about to lit a cigarette, but then heard a ‘clunk’ from the other side.

Gu Qing Shan’s glass just dropped to the ground.

“What’s the matter?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.

Gu Qing Shan seemed to not be able to hear him, his eyes completely focused as he went forward step by step.

He was exuding an indescribable feeling.

But Zhang Ying Hao could tell that something was amiss.

It was very rare for Gu Qing Shan’s emotions to fluctuate this much——- although he was already trying to suppress it.

“What happened?”

Ye Fei Li also felt something was wrong with Gu Qing Shan and quickly ran over.

Gu Qing Shan waved his hand to Ye Fei Li to signal that there were no issues.

He was approaching the black cat.
