Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 298 The Nature of Players

brush--

A figure wrapped in black and white nun's uniform flashed through the boy's mind.

That was the moment when Lilith stood behind Wu Wang and opened the [Pure Land] for him.

Her words seemed to still echo in this forest at this moment——

[Great Lord of Desire, I wish to sink and float in the sea of ​​desire]

[Embrace your most primitive desires and pray with devout faith that you will save this Holy Son. I long for all suffering to stay away from him. May the sinking of desires resound throughout the world, and may the free will be unfettered.]

You can hear it from the literal meaning of the first sentence.

This nun is most likely a believer in Desire.

After all, Yan Shuangying is the private tutor of the [Son of Desire], so it is normal for him to be followed by a fanatical believer of [Desire].

However, there is a problem with the second chant.

"With sincere faith, I pray to you to save this Holy Son... this Holy Son..."

The book boy pondered these words over and over in his mind.

Given the situation at the time, the ability of this Sister of Desire was definitely used against Yan Shuangying.

But she called him the Holy Son.

And Yan Shuangying did not refute or deny it.

If he was really a private school teacher, it would be impossible for him not to notice such a mistake.

This proves that Yan Shuangying subconsciously accepts this title.

That's why he acquiesced.

"interesting……"

"Then I can only speculate on one truth—"

"The [Widow] is a substitute! [Yan Shuangying] is the real [Son of Desire]!"

The book boy was quite firm in his conclusion.

In his opinion, this is the most reasonable way.

Finally, I caught something that can barely be called the secret of [Yan Shuangying].

I will eat you up for the rest of my life with this secret!

The servant boy laughed heartily.

This made Mingtian next to him feel a little uncomfortable.

I feel like I've seen this guy's expression somewhere before...

Oh, I seem to have seen it on Yan Shuangying’s face.

Damn it! You two almost deserve a beating when you laugh. You're not even acquaintances, who are you trying to fool?
"By the way, where are the other two? Have they retreated?"

Mingtian asked the book boy.

The people she was referring to were naturally [Leng Yu Qing Fu] and [Landlady].

Unexpectedly, the servant sneered and said, "Retreat? They have already retreated to their next life."

After saying that, he looked at the animal trainer Qiuxiang.

He waved his hand and smiled and asked, "Beautiful Miss Qiuxiang, how is the matter I asked you to do?"

Hear his words.

The animal trainer Qiu Xiang gave a thumbs-up and stuck out her tongue, playfully responding, "Don't worry, I've taken care of it."

But she still asked uncertainly: "But I still have some doubts, those two you mentioned..."

"Are they really [fake people]?"

The servant shrugged and said, "Of course, those we kill are all [fake people], right? We should trust our own judgment."

Facing his smile and calmness.

The animal trainer Qiuxiang said no more and did not want to think about what had become a foregone conclusion.

Only Mingtian seemed to realize something.

The expression he looked at the servant was somewhat incredulous.

"You...what on earth did you do to them..."

Before she could finish, the servant boy looked away.

He silently looked at the lion that followed Qiuxiang away.

I guess that guy must have eaten a lot.

He complained helplessly: "He who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black. I know a good partner who is just."

"Even I've been a little infected by him lately."

"Especially Leng Yu Qingfu, who was listed as number 39 on China's most wanted list and who actually murdered several members of the Abnormal Affairs Bureau and fled abroad. I'm sure my acquaintance won't speak up for her."

After saying that, he stood up silently.

Look in the direction of Sunshine Circus.

I guess Yan Shuangying will never come back.

Let Mingtian slowly figure out the rest of the things.

I have to retreat too.

"Add her as a friend. Aren't you going to help me get on the guild leader's good side?" Mingtian asked, popping up the friend list. "Maybe I can find out your true identity from her."

"Oh, she won't tell anyone, and no one can guess my true identity..."

When the book boy was about to agree to the friend request with a smile.

The question mark hat on his head suddenly began to dance.

The yellow question mark kept flashing like a time bomb.

In an instant, the hat extended to a size large enough to cover the entire servant boy.

Then, like a magic trick, his entire body was completely covered.

In Mingtian’s confused expression.

The question mark hat returns to normal size.

He took off his hat and apologized to Mingtian out of thin air.

It disappeared on the spot like mist.

It was as if the book boy and the question mark hat had never appeared here.

"He...was kidnapped by his own equipment?"

"What the hell is going on here!"

Mingtian blinked and scratched his head in confusion.

In this copy, she really saw many things that she had never imagined before.

The two players, Shu Tong and Yan Shuangying, brought her so many surprises.

Unfortunately, both of them are mysterious.

According to the matching mechanism of the Disaster game.

Even for players of the same level, the probability of queuing for the same dungeon consecutively is terribly low.

I don’t know how long it will be before I see them again.

Maybe we will never meet again in a dungeon.

That’s even harder to see in reality.

"No one can guess the identity..."

"It really makes me curious..."

----

"Oh, I know the Shu Tong's real name is [Qin Shusheng]."

"Does this have anything to do with the nature of the player?"

Wu Wang looked at [Spiritual Lord of the Sea of ​​Desire] with a puzzled look on his face.

When the other party just answered his question about the nature of players.

Suddenly the name of the book boy was mentioned.

It points out that the book boy is just a paper mannequin, and his real body is probably hidden somewhere in reality.

However, Wu Wang learned about this when he was communicating with the fortune teller.

The other party mentioned it.

And he mentioned the ID [Qin Shusheng].

"Do you think his behavior is fair to other players?"

"Or do you think that under normal circumstances, the Calamity will allow a player to ignore balance and enter the dungeon without taking damage?"

[Spiritual Lord of the Sea of ​​Desire] continued to stir the sea surface and asked.

Wu Wang replied firmly: "Probably not."

But I had already started cursing in my heart.

Is this fair?
You don't have any idea how many bugs this crappy game has, right?
Starting from the theoretically certain death of the novice dungeon where you became a Spirit Disaster player, to the pollution of each dungeon by the Abyss God that changed the dungeon level, and finally you told me that this game should actually be fair.

I'm being fair to your grandma!
"Then why would Ling Zai allow him to do this?" [Spiritual Lord of the Sea of ​​Desire] continued to ask.

Look at His flawless and tall body.

Wu Wang pondered for a moment and then answered uncertainly, "Because this will have some benefit to the Spiritual Disaster game?"

This was the only possibility he could think of.

Whether it was the experiment of taking off pants when he first became a player, or the undisguised contempt for himself in the summary of each dungeon, these all reflected a problem -

[The Spiritual Disaster game has a certain level of awareness]

No one knows where this consciousness comes from.

But it is definitely not as simple as a simple system.

Since they are conscious, it is reasonable that they will make temporary arrangements based on unexpected situations.

Just like when a game has a serious bug, it will often be urgently patched after being discovered.

Since the BUG of Shutong has not been fixed.

That proves that his current behavior is beneficial to the [Spiritual Disaster Game].

This time, without waiting for [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] to continue asking questions.

Wu Wang began to mutter to himself:

"The servant is working on clearing nightmare-level dungeons. The main quests in dungeons usually guide players to solve some serious problems in the dungeon world. If this is beneficial to the [Spiritual Disaster Game]..."

"Then the essence of players is to patch the world!"

When he said this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

[Desire Sea Spirit Lord] did not admit his speculation.

But there was no clear denial.

He simply said, "When humans are seriously ill and unable to heal on their own, they need medication or even surgery to forcibly cure themselves. Under normal circumstances, the human body will naturally reject metal materials like scalpels, and their cutting function is also harmful to the body, but they are necessary during surgery."

The group of players.

It is the elixir that cures diseases in the [Spiritual Disaster Game].

It completes the healing of the copy world by giving players main tasks.

Restoring normalcy to these devastated worlds.

Or recover to the point where it can heal itself.

The book boy's behavior clearly exceeds the normal effects of the drug.

It was a surgery that was forced upon him.

Since it has reached the point where a scalpel is needed, it proves that the patient is seriously ill and the situation is urgent.

At this stage, what are the unstoppable and urgent things?

The answer is already apparent——

[Public beta]!
Is public beta a "serious illness" for the Spirit Disaster game?

It seems that he guessed Wu's intention to die.

[Desire Sea Spiritual Lord] rolled his eyes and said jokingly, "To put it in the words you just said not long ago—"

"Humans are truly arrogant and conceited."

"At this point, do you still think that humans are the most important thing to spiritual disasters?"

"Think carefully about whose fault this impending serious illness is."

Suddenly, this reminded Wu Wang of what He had said when He promised to answer three questions for him:

[He will not answer questions that touch upon the core of the spiritual disaster]

However, now, He uses a metaphor to guide Himself to actively speculate on the nature of the players.

Since it is not stated explicitly, it proves that this is still related to the core.

If it can be used as a metaphor, then it means that it doesn't matter much, it's just a little bit.

In other words - the essence of the player is not the real core for the Unholy Calamity.

It's like a bottle of medicine that's expired or a scalpel that's broken.

All you need to do is replace it with a new one.

Wu Wang's tone became low.

Silently, he said, "[Open Beta] is a serious illness for humanity, and the Wrath of the Gods game merely gives humanity the opportunity to perform the surgery itself."

"If we survive successfully, humans can continue to be players."

"Failure and destruction don't matter. The Calamity will find new players in other worlds. The demise of humanity won't have any substantial impact on the Calamity, right?"

[Desire Sea Spirit Lord] still maintained an attitude of ignoring.

But sometimes, even without direct denial, there is already some kind of affirmation.

In response to this, Wu Wang took a deep breath.

This result is indeed a bit sad.

No one would be proud to be treated as an ant queen.

But Wu Wang's silence now was not because of sadness.

Instead, it was a strange kind of secret joy.

He looked up and made eye contact with the [Spiritual Lord of the Sea of ​​Desire].

He said word by word: "Scalpel means more than just a tool, it also means another thing -

"That is the ability to hurt people."

“Even if it’s someone holding a scalpel.”

These words made [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] raise his eyebrows.

He carefully looked at this human who seemed extremely weak to Him.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a slight smile.

He means it.

And he was indeed right.

In addition to helping the Spiritual Disaster with work, players also have the qualifications to access the Spiritual Disaster's core.

This is also why He let Wu Wang go to the world of [Hope] to eliminate [Despair].

Instead of helping out personally.

This is like a person who has been shot and his body contains impurities outside the human body, such as the bullet.

It is no problem to pick it out with a sterile scalpel.

If you scratch the flesh with your hands, infection is inevitable.

But if you use too much force with the knife.

The flesh will also be pierced.

For example, now, he felt that the force he used when using Wu Wang's knife seemed to be too great.

The other party knew too many things that Dao shouldn't know.

When [Despair] was singled out, [Hope] seemed to be badly hurt as well.

That's when I want to eliminate [nothingness].

This curious and disobedient scalpel.

Will he stab himself in the back?

This time, it was Wu Wang's turn to see through His eyes.

He grinned and said, "Can you find a scalpel that is more convenient to use than mine, Boss~"

"Your desire will not be deterred by fear."

"Isn't this what you expect your agent to be like?"

These words also touched the heart of [Desire Sea Spirit Lord].

That’s right, Wu Wang is indeed the most useful scalpel He has ever seen.

Originally, the reason I sent him to the dungeon affected by [Despair] was just to observe whether the process of the birth of the opposite side of the Venerable could be affected.

Only after obtaining sufficient information can we make new attempts to eliminate or prevent the emergence of the opposite.

Unexpectedly, Wu died with this scalpel.

It was accomplished in one step!

While the other venerables were still confused and studying the disease.

I already have the means to recover.

This also caused a certain progress of [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] to suddenly widen the gap with other venerables.

That’s why He is in such a good mood now.

So good that he was willing to answer those questions that Wu Wang asked that shouldn't be asked.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

"Take out the seeds and let me see them."

It was originally just a routine check on the development progress of the [Tree of Sighs].

Unexpectedly, Wu Wang was a little hesitant this time.

Scratching the back of his head, he said awkwardly, "Well...this kind of seed..."

Under the strange gaze of [Desire Sea Spirit Lord].

Wu Wang still handed it over.

After a careful look.

He was also a little unable to hold it in any longer.

He frowned and said, "What have you done? This is not what it was meant to be."

"No, this is not something you can do, and it's not the other venerables who are doing it. How strange..."

Unlocking new special effects doesn't matter.

The main question is how the attribute of [Despair] was attached?
This is equivalent to a building that has already been built, and what I am concerned about now is the progress of its decoration.

But you told me that you re-laid its foundation last night.

And there was no impact on the building above.

How the hell is this possible!
How could a solid foundation change out of thin air?

"Um, genetically modified plants..."

"It's normal to have some genetic mutations occasionally."

"The wife upstairs from me also told her husband that their child's skin is so dark because they ate genetically modified soy and their genes were altered. Look! Technology! It's amazing!"

Listening to Wu Wang's nonsense.

[Spiritual Lord of the Sea of ​​Desire] fell silent.

After a moment, he threw the seed back into Wu Wang's hands.

He sighed and said, "Forget it. This change is essentially a good thing."

"Besides, this is a brand new attempt, so we can accept some unexpected things happening."

"The progress is pretty good."

"I'll reluctantly give you a reward."

Oh? He believed it?
Wu Wang was stunned.

I looked down at the seeds in my hand——

[Having absorbed some of the scattered [hope] and [despair], the seeds are growing vigorously]

[Maturity Progress: 70%]

This energy should be stolen from the radio.

Otherwise, where would so many people in the previous copy world come from to provide energy?

Although genetically modified plants were just some rubbish he said subconsciously.

But the other party seemed to truly accept that this was a change that occurred on its own within the [Tree of Sighs] seed.

Even give yourself a reward!
Snapped--

[Spiritual Lord of the Sea of ​​Desire] snapped his fingers.

There was a hint of a smile on his face, and the look he gave Wu Wang became playful.

It's like watching a clown about to perform on stage.

One could even say that He is expecting something.

He said slowly, "I can put the incomplete part of a piece of equipment in your bag into the next dungeon."

"Of course, whether you can get it depends on your own ability."

"First... take a look at the effects of the legendary equipment you just obtained."

When He said this, Wu Wang was a little confused.

The missing parts of the equipment?
What equipment do you have that is missing?

Oh, that’s true. Let’s take a look at the effects of the [Legendary] equipment first.

[Fake smile mask], [Clown red nose] and [Clown hair accessories].

What kind of surprise will this clown suit bring to me!

It's comparable to the effect of [Eye of Prophecy] in predicting the future!
How strong will it be?
However, the moment Wu Wang took out three pieces of equipment from his backpack at the same time and combined them.

The smile on his face was as frozen as when he first saw the side effects of the [Clown Hair Accessory].

I even checked myself over and over again in disbelief to see if I had missed anything.

He looked at [Desire Sea Spiritual Lord] and asked:
"You're not trying to trick me, are you?"

"Is this really a [Legendary] effect?"

"Why do I seem less useful than Benny?"

"Just to be clear, Benny is the toy dog ​​of the kid downstairs from my house."

[Spiritual Lord of the Sea of ​​Desire] smiled slightly.

He retorted, "Isn't this effect suitable for you?"

"That's what a real clown would do!"
