《Monster Tamer In The Apocalypse》Chapter 11. Plan
Advertisement
“Hello, uncle.” Chen Qiang greeted Da Hongli when he was close to him.
“Hello, young master,” Da Hongli greeted him back.
“Didn’t you go abroad? Why are you here?” Chen Qiang asked normally.
“Haha, I’ve back young master. As for why I’m here, am I not your bodyguard? So when I had not seen you in the mansion, I asked Zhang Kai and he said that you were here. But what are you doing here, young master?” Da Hongli answered and asked after that.
“Well, I’m just training,” Chen Qiang said casually.
Chen Qiang really wants to know a lot about him, but that will just make him suspicious if he asks him straight now.
Da Hongli wondered why he was training to the point like this. He would not ask if he was just jogging or something like that, but this training is abnormal!
“Young master, I heard you now would inherit your father's inheritance?” Da Hongli said this because he thought Chen Qiang would not answer why he trained this hard.
“Yes, I would.”
“But why did you do this suddenly?” Da Hongli asked curiously. ‘Didn’t he avoided it?’ And because of that he had time with his family and could go on his mission.
“Well...” Chen Qiang hesitated, he wanted to know him first before he told him why he wanted to inherit suddenly.
However, he remembers again his father's expression when he said Da Hongli is a trusted person. So he told him why he wanted to inherit now.
The reason was the same as what he told to his sisters and Zhang Kai. After all, right now he was sure that in his past life Da Hongli has often protected him and his sisters in the dark. He also needs his help hastening his plans.
Da Hongli gets shocked when he heard his masters' words with a serious expression. Did he really trust his friend until he could believe there would be something like that?
He does not believe that at all as he was not insane. Even from the past, many people believed that there would be something like the end of the world. But look now, their predictions are complete nonsense. It’s just some people who desperately live in this world and have a fantasy about the end of the world.

However, when he saw him training like this he knows at least his young masters are really serious about this. If not, even if there was something more outrageous, he would not do something that could harm his father's inheritance. Da Hongli can just sigh and see what his young master will do.
“I don't care if you believe it or not, you can leave now or you will have to do what I say.” Chen Qiang warned him seriously and said with a slightly rude tone.
“Although I didn't believe it, I would not leave you, young master. Moreover, I have promised that to your father.” Da Hongli sees his young master really serious when he said this to him, so he didn’t slightly hesitate when he said this.
“You will not regret your decision now,” Chen Qiang said casually. Albeit he felt warm inside as he saw him not even bother to think about it.
“Even when you said something more outrageous, I still would not hesitate to say this. Young master is there something you want me to do?” Da Hongli seriously said and asked him.
”Hmm, although it seems now is still not good timing to say this. However, the time we have is not much.” Chen Qiang saw Da Hongli very serious and he sure it was not lying. He really respected him to say those determined words. Although he seems very mysterious, it’s not like he has many times. Also, he still can more know about him in the future. Albeit he has the risk that his plan will not get well.
“Alright, just tell me if you want me to do something,” Da Hongli said with a smile.
“Then I will not be courteous, uncle. Now we just relax first, do you not just go back from abroad?" Chen Qiang said, inviting him to the villa he changed to be a workout place.
Although he had changed the villa, there were still many places there for relaxation.
....
“So uncle, what did you do there for so long?” After they had chatted for a while, Chen Qiang asked him.
“I had just visited my friend and gathered with my family in abroad.”
“Where your family? Why don’t you bring them here? So you can always have time with them.”
“No, they didn’t want to come here.” Da Hongli said with a calm smile. Although it’s slightly accidental that his young master would ask this.

“However, it is not more convenient if they are here? After all, here is their homeland while there they are just immigrants.” Chen Qiang said with a smile.
“Although what you said is true. But they have gotten used to living in there.” Da Hongli easily replied.
“Even when you are rarely there with them? And spend their lives in concealment?” He asked.
The carefree attitude of Da Hongli slowly faded as he could only get silent.
“Look, uncle. It seems that you also don’t want to, right? Then why do you still keep them there? Are you afraid they would get affected by your job?” He kept asking without giving Da Hongli a chance to answer and continued,
“You don’t have to be afraid, here I can guarantee they would be safe from anything that could harm them. Even if you do not believe me, Didn’t I have enough money to guarantee their safety?” Chen Qiang gently said as he saw a wry expression on him.
Da Hongli was really perplexed with Chen Qiang said. ’Why did he suddenly become curious about my family? And also caring about them? Moreover, where did he know that my family lives abroad to avoid the risk of his job?’
“Even if you can hide them, you cannot fully protect them. Furthermore, after this you will be very busy, uncle.” Seeing his predictions seem true, he continues to persuade him.
Da Hongli sighed, he doesn’t know if Chen Qiang is really genuine to his words. He then asked, “Actually what you want, young master?”
“It’s even more simple, I only want to be prepared for the upcoming event.”
“The end of the peach of this world?”
“Yeah.”
“.....” ‘This young master, is he really serious about it to this point?’. He gets slightly baffled, then he asks, ”What do you plan then?”
“How many of your trusted subordinates?”
“It’s around 25 people.”
“Then your mercenary’s friend who you trusted?” Chen Qiang calmly said.
“Only 15, they were all from my old team. However, what do you want with them, young master?” He asked as he puzzled why Chen Qiang asked them.
“If I want them to follow me with you, how many who would agree?” Chen Qiang keeps his question without answering his question.
“I don’t know, I have to ask them first if you want to know.”
“Then you ask them, I don't care about the money, you can give how much they want as long they are trusted person.”
“But it will be hard if you only just entice them with money, they usually have to know what they would do first.”
“Just tell them that a crazy rich people spend his entire wealth to prepare for upcoming disaster.” Chen Qiang said like a matter of course.
“How peoples will believe that?” Da Hongli asked. He really did not know what happened to his young master when he has gone.
“They only need to know that I really spend my wealth on it. They would not care a bit about the disaster and the rest as long they get benefit enough.”
“But they are still my trusted friend and subordinate, how can I harm them?” Da Hongli said with slightly unpleasant.
“Relax uncle. I would never harm them as long as they have not provoked me. Moreover, this will be their luck if they agree to it.”
“So long as you keep your word. Then what do you want us to do?”
“Can you do smuggle?” Chen Qiang asked with a smile.
“Of course it's easy for me,” Da Hongli said with confidence.
“I mean a lot of firearms, to this country.”
“If I couldn’t, I would not be mercenary. Although this would be difficult as gun control was very strict in this country” Da Hongli still replied at ease.
“I really mean when I said a lot, uncle. However, take it easy. I would not use it if the disaster did not happen, so you only have to hide it. You can also buy in this country’s black market as long as you do not get tracked down. Well, you are more understanding than me regarding this.”
After that Chen Qiang continued to say his plan while Da Hongli was getting baffled all the time after Chen Qiang said every one of his plans.
'Does he want to prepare for disaster or revolt?’

When I heard a soft, and gentle voice, asking me if I'd like to go to a new world, far away from here... I didn't even think twice about it.

But now that I'm here, I'm starting to discover that this new world is really nothing like what I had been expecting. Right now, I'm all alone, in the middle of a huge, and darkened forest, with nobody to tell me where to go, or what to do next. And somewhere, far off in the distance... I can hear something huge, and strong, moving slowly through the woods. Before, I was hoping to get the chance to start my life up all over again. But now, I'm just hoping to make it safely through the night. Maybe once I achieve that, then I can finally start to think about what's going on... ... and then, maybe, I can figure out just why it was that I was brought here, exactly - and just what sort of a world it is that I've arrived in.

Oxymoronic/Desktop/Babel_Maze
[19:27] Oxymoronic: Ever heard of escape room games? [19:30] Oxymoronic: You know, those places where you pay a hundred bucks to get locked in a room with impossible puzzles. Impossible for you, that is. Your smartass friend inevitably figures them out in seconds while you're sitting there dumbfounded, wondering where your money went. [19:31] Oxymoronic: Or maybe you are that smartass friend. [19:33] Oxymoronic: Well, I played an escape room game that even all the smartasses in the world couldn't have figured out. [19:35] Oxymoronic: I could have written a novel about what we have come to call the Babel Maze. But frankly, I'm not much of a writer. I'd much rather prefer to let the forum archives speak on their own. [19:36] Oxymoronic: Might take a few months to upload all this. Lots of clutter, lots of spam. Cleaning all this is going to be a nightmare. [19:38] Oxymoronic: That's just what internet janitors like me do.

Mary Susan Oceanrunner and the Brutus Saint's Academy
Join Mary Susan Oceanrunner on her quest to do... erm... something really important for the world... probably... Ahem. Long gone are the days when every hero could do whatever they wanted - now, we are civilised. We have government. Law. And proper forms. Lots of proper forms. (Final episode 25/07/2022. Also - beta readers far into the book rate the 'gore' degree as below 2/10, so the warning is a bit much) Mary Susan Oceanrunner is a poor girl from the orphanage, who like many others before, has to fulfil her destiny. The prophecy had been told, and she is the only one who can make things right. Erm... probably. Anyway, she can't just go and kill monsters like in the middle ages. First, she must apply for the appropriate permissions, fill the forms, learn about the proper loot taxations... Hey, no one said adventuring would be easy, right? Disclaimers: No claim made by any character by the book should be treated as the author's or anyone else's opinion on any subject. Most likely, it was just the funniest thing the Author could think of at the time of writing. This book contains many references to other works. It will probably be best enjoyed by individuals familiar with at least some of the following: 1) Computer games2) Fantasy in general3) Science fiction4) Tabletop RPGs5) Conspiracy theories6) Corporation work life7) Long forgotten prophecies uttered millennia ago in almost as forgotten languages under a starless night three dusks before the great convergence8) Filling any government-mandated form9) School10) EnglishMy ultimate goal is to make as many people experience something akin to joy while reading (think ~a bit louder exhale through the nose). It doesn't mean every scene will be funny or joyful because that's not how this stuff works. I can neither confirm nor deny having any other hidden agenda outside of that.

Gamer
This story is abandoned and has not been authorized for distribution on any sites but RoyalRoad. Given the Gamer ability after shattering a crystal inside a game, Jon's world is upturned as he is thrown into a life he considered fantasy. Making new enemies and encountering a god, he cannot escape the quest which is forced on him. Different worlds and different situations, can he come out on top? He's neither perfect nor a saint, he is Jon. Welcome to Gamer. This has been dropped, I didn't like the way I forced a few plotpoints and I lost my notes on the story itself. Read below if you want to be spoilered. As far as I recall, he would change race into a higher human after using a spell to overload his mana repeatably until his body forcibly adapts, he would train up his rift usage spell with some better targets than God's Realm because he keeps hitting his stats limit until the cost lowers enough that he can actually grind it. His world is being invaded by multiple worlds, so the god had many backup plans where a lot of people went into their own fantasy settings and came back to defend Earth. Jon never is the strongest one out there, he has to keep grinding and grinding before he gets stronger than the other heroes, and at that point the invasion is nearing the final stretch. Jon's two biggest advantages is that he can keep grinding without hitting a cap he can't evolve, and that even when he is eventually killed. He would have respawned in the nearest 'Safe Zone' after dropping a level and everything he did to gain that level. I also had a bunch of ideas for mini-arcs where he would play in multiple worlds in multiple situations, not that great of an idea in retrospect.
