Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

Chapter 131 Archbishop Susie's Invitation

"It wasn't that easy after all."

The followers of the cult of evil are now planning an attack on Miracle Circus.

The "Mother Tree of Desire" and "Paradise of Bliss" are also in poor condition, so they will naturally be more strict in screening tourists or residents entering the area.

To prevent that mysterious lord from taking advantage of my weakened state to deliver another fatal blow.

Li Qianyi looked towards the game.

Your request was rejected, but fortunately you weren't the only one rejected, so you didn't arouse their suspicion.

As you leave the certificate hall and gaze upon the magnificent city of light, what do you plan to do next?

"Information, the most important thing is still information."

Li Qianyi typed in the text: "Investigate the key clues leading to 'Paradise of Bliss'."

As a newcomer unfamiliar with the area, you know you need to gather more information before deciding on your next move.

Please set the total exploration time.

Li Qianyi chose 5 hours.

As a private investigator, do you know many ways to gather information?

Please choose one of the following two methods.

[Be bold in your inquiries: There's a chance you'll uncover more hidden information, but it also greatly increases the risk of exposing your own abnormality, attracting surveillance or even investigation.]

[Careful Probing: A more cautious approach may lead you to avoid conflict or take a loss in the event of an unexpected incident, but it can reduce the probability of being discovered by the "Covenant of Silence".]

Li Qianyi naturally chose to investigate cautiously.

"The City of Radiance is not a peaceful town. It has 'angels on earth' stationed there. Be careful, even if you suffer some losses, it's better than luring out saints or even angels."

You chose to inquire cautiously.

The game information is still popping up.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. You know how valuable information is, and seeking information inevitably consumes your spiritual faith. Please set a limit.

Li Qianyi thought for a moment and set it to [1500].

[Your current rank is Sequence 7, Hermit.]

[Given your Chaotic Sea Permission LV1, you have gained the Guardian of Knowledge ability, increasing your probability of obtaining key information by 30% and reducing reconnaissance time by 1 hour.]

[Under exploration...]

Looking at the game information, Li Qianyi nodded secretly.

The reader approach has advantages in information acquisition and reasoning, which makes it easier and faster for him to obtain key information.

Less than four hours later, just after Li Qianyi finished dinner, a message popped up.

The "Your Information Exploration" campaign has ended.

[This operation consumed 515 Divine Faith. You triggered 3 events and successfully obtained the key clue to "the Paradise of Bliss".]

"Only 515 divine faith was consumed, not bad."

It was far less than Li Qianyi had anticipated.

[View event?]

Click to view Li Qianyi.

[Event 1: Street Newspaper]

You wander through the streets and alleys of Radiant City, trying to glean information about Paradise from the behavior of passersby and the newspapers.

Unfortunately, due to the "Covenant of Silence's" censorship of information, you only saw some public relations news in the newspapers condemning cultists.

"This is a failure."

Li Qianyi then looked at the second incident.

[Information Clue 2: The Extortion Incident at the White Queen Tavern]

[You know, the tavern is a mixed bag, a good place to gather information]

You arrive at "The White Queen," the largest tavern in "The City of Radiance." With the help of the "Mind Reader's" observational abilities, you quickly become friends with several drunkards and subtly inquire about information regarding "Paradise on Earth."

Unfortunately, they really are just simple drunkards. Not only did you fail to gather any information, you also lost 15 units of divine faith worth of alcohol.

Li Qianyi's lips twitched; he knew where that strange 15 divine beliefs came from.

Just then, the tavern owner sat down next to you and hinted that if you had 500 points of divine faith, he could...

Perhaps there is a way to get you to Paradise.

You possess "Chaotic Sea Authority LV1" and, with the help of the "psychologist's" mind-reading ability, you've realized the other person is lying.

You chose to refuse, indicating that you didn't need it, but just as you were about to leave, several tall and muscular figures blocked your way.

You realize that if you don't hand over 500 units of divine faith, they most likely won't let you go.

[You may feel resentful, but unfortunately this is the territory of the Covenant of Silence.]

In these extraordinary times, conflict could lead to unnecessary trouble and investigation. You decide to proceed cautiously and endure hardship. You failed to gather any clues at the tavern and instead lost 500 points of divine faith.

"These guys have no sportsmanship."

Li Qianyi never expected that the 515 divine faith would be lost in this way.

"This is the impact of behavior style on a character's actions while AFK."

Li Qianyi seemed to be deep in thought.

If he had chosen a bolder approach, he would have inevitably clashed with the tavern owner and fought.

But such a big commotion would inevitably attract the attention of the "Covenant of Silence," causing trouble for his subsequent actions.

Even so, Li Qianyi felt a bit itchy, and he decided to remember this grudge.

He examined the third event.

[Information Clue 3: The Pastor's Concerns]

[You arrive at the Silent Covenant, located in the cathedral of the "Radiant City." You have been hiding in the "shadows" for a long time, observing and listening to the hushed conversations of the priests coming and going.]

You hear two priests whispering to each other; they are about to join the siege of Miracle Circus.

[You have obtained a crucial clue: In two days, a ZF-96107 train bound for "Paradise" will be carrying the forces dispatched by the "Silent Covenant" to besiege Miracle Circus City.]

If you want to board these two trains, you must become a member of the "Silent Covenant" fighting force.

"In other words, apart from the members of the 'Covenant of Silence' sent to 'Paradise,' there is no other way to reach 'Paradise.'"

Li Qianyi frowned slightly, thought quickly, and soon came up with an idea.

This problem is both difficult and simple.

"All I need to do is replace a pastor," obtain the pastor's pass and train ticket, and then I can board the train to Blessed Virgin.

The train to "Paradise".

"Stealing the pass and train ticket" is not difficult; the difficulty lies in how to impersonate the other party.

"Faceless Man!"

This was the first thought that came to Li Qianyi's mind.

If he possesses the "Faceless Man" corresponding seal or "gift," he can transform into the appearance of a Silent Covenant priest and infiltrate the party.

"You'll have to ask Mr. Fool."

Since the "circus" incident, Mr. Fool's signs have become less than favorable.

But now that it's in public beta, the situation may be quite different from before.

Li Qianyi wasn't sure if it would work, but he had to give it a try.

After spending half an hour setting up the altar, Li Qianyi began to pray to Mr. Fool.

This prayer will consume 600 Divine Faith or 3 Blasphemy Power.

【use or not? 】

"We have a signal!"

Li Qianyi's eyes lit up, and he chose to use it.

[You have consumed 600 Divine Faith and received the enlightenment from the Lord of Mysteries]

As the candle flames swelled slightly, a small note soon appeared in the center of the altar.

There was a line of Chinese writing on it.

One day later, head to the "Radiant Colosseum" and find the merchant Whitebeard. The code word is: "What is the price of the shirt?" The answer is: "Nine pounds and fifteen pence."

"It'll only take a day, but there's still time."

Li Qianyi continued to look at the game.

[You have received a revelation: you know that "Mr. Fool" also has spies in the "City of Radiance".]

So, for the next 24 hours, do you plan to wait idly, or do you decide to continue investigating?

Li Qianyi naturally intended to continue gathering information, and he remained cautious in his actions, this time reducing the upper limit of divine faith consumption to 100.

Of course, he added an extra note.

[Subtly try to cause some trouble for the owner of the "White Queen" tavern; if it causes too much trouble, then hold off for now.]

the next day.

The Bureau of Imagination Office.

Wang Kun looked at his phone and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[Congratulations on clearing the Warrior's Glory dungeon!]

You have obtained the Giant Warrior's Muscle Core.

You have obtained 100 ml of Mutant Black Bear Blood, 1 Bloodthirsty Rhinoceros Heart, 15 drops of Basil Essential Oil, and 2 Onyx Stones.

块】

[You have obtained the potion recipe for the Sequence 9 Warrior potion (Do not disclose)]

You have earned the "Loyalty" badge!

You have gained 100 Divine Faith.

"I remember my first dungeon only gave me a fragmented potion recipe and a few auxiliary materials. Your luck is really bad."

"Wrong." Hu Jing, the "gravedigger," had a complex expression on her face.

In just one month, this intern cleared a decent-quality normal dungeon and obtained all the materials for the "Warrior's Potion".

Li Qianyi was not surprised. "Although Arrodes is a bit cunning, the information and clues he provides are of excellent quality."

"Next, we'll prepare the potion."

While referring to the potion recipe, Wang Kun threw the ingredients into the prepared iron pot.

"Just ten drops of basil essential oil are enough, and only one piece of onyx is needed..."

Soon, a glass of blood-red liquid with a strong, fishy smell appeared before everyone's eyes.

Following Li Qianyi's instructions, Wang Kun took out the yellow crystal again and performed a divination. After confirming that there were no major problems, he raised the cup of magic potion.

"Drink it directly?" Wang Kun asked cautiously.

"Drink it directly."

Wang Kun's Adam's apple bobbed, and then he poured the potion into his mouth.

Unlike "diviners" and "mystics".

The same Sequence 9 warrior potion brought about drastic changes to Wang Kun; his muscles were expanding and he was growing taller.

Li Qianyi said in a low voice, "Use the meditation method I taught you before to control the power of the potion, take deep breaths, and it's normal to have a slight headache."

After a while, Wang Kun finally regained control of his strength and looked at his bulging muscles with some excitement.

"I feel like I have enough strength right now to kill a bull."

"Take a feel for what abilities you currently possess."

Wang Kun glanced at his phone, feeling the power within his body, and said, "The information tells me I've mastered four abilities: 'Combat Proficiency,' 'Weapon Proficiency,' 'Strength Enhancement,' and 'Agility Enhancement.'"

"My health increased by 12 points, my armor increased by 3 points, and my sanity increased by 4 points."

Upon hearing Wang Kun's words, Li Qianyi thought to himself, "Even Sequence 9 is not all the same."

Warriors are born to fight.

"etc."

Wang Kun seemed to realize something: "The initial extraordinary ability of the Eternal Dark Church, Combat Proficiency," seemed to be only for warriors and demons.

Part of the ability to deliver medicine.

"If a player gains these four corresponding abilities, isn't it essentially the same as drinking a 'Warrior's Potion?"

"More or less," Li Qianyi said thoughtfully, "but not entirely."

"In addition to granting abilities, potions can also alter one's physical constitution."

"Most importantly, the power granted by potions is permanent, while the extraordinary abilities derived from such enhancements can be sealed and stripped away."

"That's true." Wang Kun nodded thoughtfully. "Even now, there are still quite a few people testing the limits of legality and crime."

"If everyone truly becomes an uncontrollable extraordinary being, it will cause a huge mess."

"Kid, you're a true king of soldiers now."

Tan Bin patted Wang Kun's muscular physique and remarked, "Actually, I'd also like to be a warrior," but by a twist of fate, I became a "fortune teller."

"Captain, I remember you used to be a special forces member, right?"

"Yes, so I've decided to send you to the army for training in a couple of days, and you'll also participate in the Five Grains Defense Campaign."

Wang Kun: ?

Tan Bin chuckled and said, "Anyway, congratulations! You're now a full-fledged employee of the Jinling City 'Imagination Bureau'."

"Chengzi, how are you?" Wang Kun put his arm around Lin Zicheng.

"Almost there, let go, you're going to crush me..."

Planet 874, Five Grains Land.

With the cover of several players, Northern Eagle beheaded a "Blue Giant" with a single strike.

[You defeat the enemy; your damage output accounts for 49%, and you gain Oak Power*5]

[Current Oak Strength: 1079]

Three days have passed since the event started, and they can only deal with one low-level monster at a time, but with their division of labor and cooperation, their efficiency is not bad.

"Unfortunately, he's far inferior to that shepherd," Northern Eagle shook his head.

Just then, a message appeared in front of him.

[Your current character has been detected to be located in White Mist Town, near Blissful Paradise]

Due to your performance in the Battle of the Five Grains, you have received a special invitation from Archbishop Susie. Would you like to view it?

"Archbishop Susie?" Northern Eagle was taken aback. "Who is this?"

He clicked to view.

Archbishop Susie invites you to participate in the defense of Miracle Circus City.

[Mission Description: The Lord of Mysteries' mobile base, "Miracle Circus City," located in "Paradise Lost," is stationed in "Blessed Paradise" for a special mission. In response to attacks from followers of evil gods such as the "Blessed Church" and the "Our Lady's Society," Archbishop Susie has issued an urgent summons.]

[Mission Requirements: Assist a special member or defeat at least 3 followers of the "Evil God" who are besieging the Miracle Circus. No specific sequence requirement.]

[Mission Reward: The Left Paw of the Steel Bear]

[This battle will involve dimensional leaps.]

[This battle is located in Paradise Lost. You will receive 1 "False Life". Once your False Life is depleted, you will be immediately exited from this battle.]

【Whether to accept? 】

"The left paw of the Steel Bear?"

Northern Eagle's heart skipped a beat, and he clicked on the corresponding entry.

The Steel Bear's left paw: The source of the Steel Bear's power, allowing fighters to further enhance their strength; an extremely precious material.

"Could this be the main ingredient for the potion used after a 'Fighter' advances?"

The Northern Eagle is currently unsure what the next rank of "Fighter" will be, but its purpose can be inferred from the description.

[Receive]

Northern Eagle rubbed his hands together.

"Not everyone is a shepherd." As a beta tester, he has been playing as a "fighter" for almost two years.

"With 'false health points,' even if I die, it won't affect me, so the risk isn't high."

Such opportunities don't come around all the time, and the Northern Eagles won't let them slip by.

Just then, the astonished voice of the tailor rang out, "Wait, who are you?"

Northern Eagle suddenly turned his head, his pupils shrinking sharply. Dozens of masked players had silently surrounded him, ready to draw their swords.

They wore crimson masks, had high, long noses, and their menacing grins, revealing fangs, stretched from the corners of their mouths to their ears.

"This demon mask belongs to the 'Tengu' society."

Northern Eagle's heart sank, and when he looked at the information of the three leaders, he still gasped.

You encountered "" (Sequence 7—)

At least three beta testers.
