Chapter 001: New Features

Walking through the long corridor, Wang Bo had just entered the new world when he heard his cheat excitedly shouting.

[Host, I've upgraded, I've upgraded!]

Wang Bo was taken aback.

"What upgrade? What kind of upgrade?" Wang Bo couldn't help asking.

[Of course, it's a version update and upgrade. I'm much more powerful now than before, host.]

Wang Bo felt curious and said, "I remember your last upgrade allowed you to determine how many穿越者 (transmigrators) were in this world, right?"

[That's right.]

"So what features does this upgrade bring?"

[This time, besides determining the number of穿越者 in a world, I can also identify what world it is. For example, the world you've come to now is actually the first world you ever traveled to.]

"You mean the Mummy world?" Wang Bo could never forget which world he first traveled to.

[That's the world. But this world isn't just about The Mummy. Actually, the story of Indiana Jones also takes place here. Besides that, there's also The Scorpion King, Cleopatra, Prince of Persia, Exodus: Gods and Kings, Night at the Museum, and The Mummy (2017) all happening in this world.]

Wang Bo: ...

He never expected that after his cheat upgraded, it could be so powerful, able to determine the plots of a world. But what surprised him even more was that one world could contain so many stories.

Of the above stories, Wang Bo had only seen The Mummy, The Scorpion King, Prince of Persia, and Night at the Museum.

As for the others, like Cleopatra, Exodus: Gods and Kings, and The Mummy (2017), Wang Bo really hadn't seen them and didn't know what the plots were about.

The only one he could guess about was Cleopatra.

After all, she was quite famous.

Even if Wang Bo were stupid, he could guess that the plot of Cleopatra probably told the story related to Cleopatra VII of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of ancient Egypt. But as for what exactly it was about, Wang Bo really didn't know.

Maybe he should go watch it.

But before that, Wang Bo wanted to ask, "Besides determining the plot, do you have any other new features?"

[Yes, for example, I can determine which world you'll go to next.]

Wang Bo couldn't help but complain, "What's the difference between having that and not having it?"

After all, as soon as he entered a new world, he could determine the plot, so in Wang Bo's view, this feature wasn't very useful.

"Besides that, are there any other features?" Wang Bo asked with slight anticipation. "For instance, you know how many穿越者 are in this world and what their identities are?"

[That I really don't have. I only know there are two穿越者 in this world. As for their specific identities, hmm... I think you're trying to make things difficult for me, Fat Tiger.]

"Are you Fat Tiger? You're just a machine." Wang Bo couldn't help but complain to his cheat again.

The cheat artifact responded to Wang Bo without backing down.

[Although I don't have new features, I have updated one feature to better serve you, host.]

"What feature?"

[The substitution feature. It's no longer random. I can list some plot characters for you to choose from. You can substitute for any of them at any time.]

The next second, a large number of options appeared before Wang Bo.

The Scorpion King plot: Memnon, Mathayus, Arpid, Cassandra...

Wang Bo had seen The Scorpion King and naturally knew that Memnon was the main antagonist, the ruler of the city of Gomorrah.

Mathayus was the protagonist, the future Scorpion King.

Arpid was the Scorpion King's good friend.

As for Cassandra, when Wang Bo saw this name, he couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eyes. This was downright outrageous. Cassandra was the female lead, a sorceress skilled in witchcraft.

Could he even substitute for her?

"Is there some mistake?" Wang Bo couldn't help asking.

[No mistake. As long as you're willing, host, you can substitute for anyone.]

Wang Bo declared that even if he had to substitute for an old man, a child, or even a baby, he would never substitute for a woman.

He swore he would never.

Leaving aside The Scorpion King, among the remaining plots, Wang Bo could also substitute for a bunch of characters.

For example, in The Mummy plot, he could substitute for Evelyn, her brother Jonathan, and even O'Connell or Imhotep.

He could even substitute for the Dragon Emperor.

Seeing this, Wang Bo couldn't help but feel tempted. If he substituted for the Dragon Emperor, would he appear in the Dragon Emperor's tomb or before the Dragon Emperor was cursed?

If it were before the curse, i.e., during the Qin Dynasty, Wang Bo believed that with his current strength, he could definitely unify the world and rewrite history.

So Wang Bo couldn't help asking his cheat.

[I know what you're thinking, but unfortunately, your wish can't come true. If you substitute for Memnon, at this point in time, Memnon is already dead. So if you want to substitute for Memnon, I can only send you to when Memnon was alive, i.e., thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt.]

[But the problem is, you want to substitute for the Dragon Emperor. The Dragon Emperor isn't dead; he's just been sealed. He has lived from his sealing until now. If you want to substitute for the Dragon Emperor, you can only substitute for the sealed Dragon Emperor, not the Dragon Emperor before the sealing.]

[Besides, you already have the Moonlight Box. You can go back to the past yourself. Why care about this?]

Wang Bo was immediately convinced.

That's right, he already had the Moonlight Box. As long as he wanted, he could go back to the past anytime. Why care about this?

Then Wang Bo scanned a few more options and found that in the Prince of Persia plot, he could substitute for Dastan (the protagonist), Nizam (the protagonist's uncle), Tus (the protagonist's eldest brother), Garsiv (the protagonist's second brother), the slave trader, the palace guards, and the female lead Tamina.

In the Exodus: Gods and Kings plot, Wang Bo could substitute for Moses and Ramesses II.

Seeing this, Wang Bo realized that the plot of Exodus: Gods and Kings was actually the story of Moses parting the sea.

In the Cleopatra plot, Wang Bo could substitute for Cleopatra VII, Caesar, Octavian, Antony, and others.

Seeing this, Wang Bo finally couldn't help it and said, "Can you remove the female candidates from the substitution list? Seeing them makes me uncomfortable."

[I can, but are you sure you want to remove them? Sometimes, this thing can save your life.]

"What do you mean?" Wang Bo asked.
