Chapter 646: A Living Legend
"You're going to become Captain Orangutan!"
Seeing the metallic orangutan quietly suspended in the cultivation tank, Cheng Tian's mind immediately flashed with the image of Captain Orangutan with its legs reversed.
Cheng Tian would not interfere with Uhtan's choice and would give him due respect.
To open more research topics and conduct simultaneous studies, the orangutan's already sparse hair had long since thinned to reveal its scalp. If he couldn't even choose his own life form, then all that effort would be wasted.
However, Cheng Tian had initially thought Uhtan might choose something akin to a Raptor Warrior, a pure metallic beast form, but it seemed he still retained a considerable amount of flesh and blood.
"Just the final debugging, then consciousness transfer can begin."
Uhtan said something terrifying in an understated manner.
Perhaps influenced by the eccentric Aoko, Uhtan, who already had few taboos regarding replicating his own personality and knowledge, had abandoned all notions of "the id" or "the Ship of Theseus."
Many people might wonder, "If I infuse my personality and knowledge into a puppet, and then I die, is the resurrected puppet still me?"
But Aoko didn't care, and Uhtan didn't care either.
Cheng Tian could only conclude that Uhtan, capable of such thoughts, was probably a lunatic at heart.
"If you put it that way, BOSS, your juvenile cultivation tank, and the golden knight statues that can be resurrected, aren't fundamentally different from what I'm doing."
Noticing Cheng Tian's unconcealed gaze, Uhtan offered his explanation.
"...That's actually true."
Cheng Tian thought about it carefully; it might indeed be the case.
If it were resurrection on the spot in a dungeon, that would be one thing. But this situation, where one saves in Heaven's Chosen Space beforehand, dies in the dungeon, and then respawns in Heaven's Chosen Space, is exactly the same as Uhtan's, except Uhtan is actively changing his body.
"However, I'll still need to trouble you, BOSS, when the time comes."
Uhtan said to Cheng Tian with a serious expression.
"How so?"
"Just like you put that girl's soul into a blank puppet, I'll entrust my soul to you then."
After Cheng Tian made an "OJBK" gesture, he went for a stroll in the plaza alone for the first time in a while.
He simply put on a very basic facial recognition disguise before heading out, and then he felt many unconcealed gazes directed at him.
Strangely, these gazes didn't come from players but from the NPCs within Heaven's Chosen Space, similar to Kelly next to the equipment enhancement machine.
Cheng Tian was very puzzled by this, but the NPCs' gazes, like they were looking at a "legendary figure," were not feigned in the slightest. The reason was that Cheng's legend level had reached 5 points.
5 points of legend level were enough to make Cheng Tian "well-known" within Heaven's Chosen Space.
The title "911" obtained from blowing up the Twin Towers, the title "Origin Brave" obtained from defeating Demon King Dam, the title "Enemy of Orochi" obtained from sealing Orochi, the title "Holy Grail Lord" obtained from completely assimilating with the Black Holy Grail, and the title "Ship Usurper" obtained from subduing Gengar and seizing the entire Mars Mothership not long ago—each title granted Cheng Tian a +1 legend level reward effect.
It could be said that each of these actions, taken individually, was quite astonishing. And now, all of them converged on Cheng Tian alone, enough to transform Cheng Tian into one of those "legendary figures" found in various dungeon settings—
A living legend!
For the player community, it was manageable, but for the NPC communities inside and outside the dungeons, the effect was quite remarkable.
It's better not to mention it, but as soon as Cheng Tian's ID name was brought up to an NPC, even in background settings that were completely unrelated, the other party would most likely react with, "...I seem to have heard that name somewhere?"
And once it was a dungeon Cheng had experienced, or within Heaven's Chosen Space itself, as long as he walked down the street, Cheng Tian would inevitably be the most eye-catching person!
Due to the rules, Heaven's Chosen Space NPCs would not actively expose Cheng Tian's secrets, but enthusiasm was unavoidable. Who wouldn't want to get close to a living legend?
This was also why Cheng Tian almost never went to the commercial districts of Heaven's Chosen Space. If he did, it wouldn't be a zombie siege, but it would be enough to cause a certain scale of crowd commotion.
However, as the first person in Heaven's Chosen Space to accumulate so much legend level, Cheng Tian had no predecessors in this field to consult. That's why he felt the unusual gazes from the NPC community but couldn't find the specific reason.
It wasn't until he changed several outfits and also shielded his ID that he temporarily escaped those gazes, which were enough to raise the ambient temperature by a degree or two.
Because Cheng Tian completed this main quest too quickly, he was among the first batch of players to return from their main quests this month. This meant that the number of players in Heaven's Chosen Space was relatively small at this moment, and most facilities were quite empty, with few people.
Cheng Tian, not very interested in things outside the game and also realizing that some special change might have occurred to him, simply activated the extra dungeon of Makaimura to continue fulfilling his promise to the deceased Arthur.
So far, Cheng Tian had completed the first four stages of Makaimura and officially opened the gate to the Demon King's Castle last month. Upon entering the dungeon, Cheng successfully stepped into the Demon King's Castle, arriving at the lowest level of the castle, which corresponded to the fifth stage scene.
Perhaps Cheng Tian's own abilities had improved, causing the dungeon difficulty to also climb, reaching the standard B-rank difficulty.
This resulted in most of the miscellaneous monsters in the dungeon also having their attributes and health significantly increased... but under the impact of the Tremor Orb, they still fell in large numbers.
Moreover, compared to the fourth stage last month, Cheng Tian noticed a clear change in the attitude of the monster groups.
Low-level monster units like zombies and ghosts still reacted to Cheng Tian as usual, swarming him as soon as they smelled a human, only to be mercilessly eliminated by the Tremor Orb and Zuster's spells.
However, when he encountered "Red Demon" units, which possessed higher intelligence and had a racial enmity with Cheng Tian, they actually trembled all over upon seeing him, then turned and fled without looking back!
Whether it was a bribe or not, the fleeing Red Demon dropped a box, and a corresponding prompt appeared.
[The Red Demon Captain was intimidated by your prestige and, in its hasty escape, left behind a personal item on the spot.]
