Chapter 566 - 366: Howard’s Troubled Otherworldly Adventure
Howard: "?"
A question mark slowly emerged in his mind, and he didn’t think that using this question mark meant something was wrong with him; rather, Xue Dili’s words sounded a bit crazy.
Actually, he just mentioned Otherworld casually; it was just idle talk. After all, he had lived in a normal, magic-free environment since childhood. Today, he met a friend, and even though he seemed to have hit rock bottom, the friend directly grabbed his soul and said, "Hey, bro, want to reincarnate into a family?"
He went with nonsense and chose Otherworld.
He was merely expressing his surprise in this way, not expecting that Xue Dili might actually be able to help him reincarnate in Otherworld?
What kind of world? Spider-Man? Or Avengers, or let me go face off with Batman in Gotham?
In that moment, Howard’s soul seemed to think of many things, and his mind suddenly opened up.
Right, his life until now has been a written failure, his identity and nationality were stripped away, illegal by Chen Wei, his wife abandoned him, seized all his assets, falsely accused him, and made him lose all his jobs.
At this rate, he even felt like he was going to night club mygo to survive.
What value does he have now?
Actually, when he jumped down without hesitation earlier, ready to rescue Xue Dili who was trapped in an earthquake, it was with the thought that dying together with this newly met friend in the pit might be quite good.
Although some real heroes can face a bleak life and still love it, Howard felt he was not among them; he was merely a small assistant without great ambitions—a person whom even the Avengers might choose to save the world, but who could refuse out of fear.
He had a clear understanding of himself; earlier he wasn’t very noble-minded, he just thought wandering for 4 years until the next president, he’d rather use his useless life on others.
However, he didn’t expect that it was all his wishful thinking. The new friend seemed not to be an ordinary person, but more like a Death God receiving souls.
"Is there really an Otherworld?" Howard asked.
For some reason, knowing the existence of Otherworld, even when only a soul body remains, Howard felt his heart pounding.
Otherworld, ah, there I won’t encounter people like the ex-wife who falsely accuse and deprive me of all my assets, right?
Howard thought in his heart, helplessly, as he only had such vision. After all, originally with a promising future, he suddenly became a homeless person overnight due to the dual blows from the immigration office and his ex-wife.
He now dreams of his ex-wife, not the beautiful love with her, but her transformed into the tyrant from Resident Evil chasing after him.
"Yes, brother, yes, a world full of beautiful beast-eared maidens, where even the boys are pretty little Nanliang before they grow beards." Xue Dili’s words came.
Howard blushed, what Nanliang, he’s not a priest, how could he like such things?
Tell me more about the beast-eared maidens!
Xue Dili didn’t keep it a secret and roughly explained that world’s situation to Howard.
To be honest, Xue Dili had been harassed by the Old Demon Emperor recently, saying they need people with at least the same level of knowledge and wisdom as Xue Dili, to reincarnate to his world. The Old Demon Emperor plans to cultivate these Earth arrivals into dog-headed advisors.
After all, he felt his wisdom and knowledge were too limited, and previously bringing Bai Ya and Siam to Earth was also for cultivating them into dog-headed advisors.
Unfortunately, Bai Ya and Siam eventually chose to be an agronomist and breeder, and the Old Demon Emperor threw a note to Xue Dili for this.
But now, Howard is just the right candidate for a great dog-headed advisor, isn’t he?
First, he is an assistant at Harvard, though just in the paleontology department, but his knowledge level far exceeds ordinary people.
At the same time, Xue Dili guaranteed Howard’s character was solid. Even selling in the Cowherd Shop in Parallel World, he still maintained goodwill toward the world, willing to risk his life for saving the world. Even a group of Ancient Greek old friends approved him.
Even Lovecraft himself favored Howard; if he hadn’t encountered international deprivation from the immigration bureau, or that ridiculous ex-wife, Howard’s life could have been as smooth as a protagonist.
Yet, it was precisely this ridiculous woman that made him a homeless professor at Harvard.
Before he became homeless, even when desperate, he could still live on selling blood. But after the court declared him bankrupt, now he has no difference with those zero-dollar purchase homeless people.
Even when zero-dollar purchasing, he couldn’t outdo that group.
So, do you wish for a completely new life in Otherworld?
I do, dream of it!
After hearing the description of that world, Howard’s eyes lit up.
According to Xue Dili, it’s a world with technology level like the Victorian period, where magic exists, and everyone due to magic is handsome and beautiful.
Furthermore, Xue Dili had deep connections with the president there, able to make Howard an advisor to the president directly, where he just needs to use his learned knowledge to lead the world’s development.
