Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

Chapter 132 The Silent Black Knight's Emblem

"What are you going to do?"

The cutter sensed something was wrong and instinctively spoke up.

But he never received a response.

The leader's body suddenly grew larger, his arms swelled, tufts of short gray hair grew out, and his nails lengthened and became sharp.

Werewolf transformation.

"What kind of skill is this? Transformation? Werewolf transformation?"

The cutter was taken aback, wondering what was going on in his mind.

The werewolf-like figure had already rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed.

The slasher instinctively raised his novice longsword to parry, but darkness blocked his view first.

He instinctively felt cold and fearful.

By the time the cutter realized what was happening, he was already back in the club's meeting room, looking completely bewildered.

He seemed to have been instantly defeated.

Immediately afterwards, one by one, the team members appeared in the conference room with equally bewildered expressions.

"this...

The battle seemed to be over before it even began.

"Vice-captain, check the game information." A player with the ID "Little Ma" said with a mournful face, "My Oak Power is all gone."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Dao also quickly checked the game information.

You are affected by the ability "Fear of the Dark," causing you to become paralyzed...

[You have been attacked by werewolf claws, and you have lost 25 health points.]

You have lost a fake life.

You have been poisoned by the "Werewolf Poison," and have suffered a fatal blow...

You have lost your second fake life.

You have been plundered, and you have lost 500 Oak Power.

[Current remaining Oak Power: 32]

You have been forcibly deported.

"Me too, they were all stolen..." Cutter screamed, clutching his head.

"We were all wiped out in seconds!"

"Where's Brother Bei?"

"He doesn't seem to be dead yet."

In the Five Grains Land, the Northern Eagle was facing a three-way attack and was finding it extremely difficult to defend himself.

As a Sequence 8 fighter, his combat strength is considered strong among those of the same sequence.

However, two of the three beta testers he faced were Sequence 7 players.

One can summon dark demonic projections, while the other transforms into a werewolf, possessing immense power that leaves wounds on him with every attack.

"They're making fun of me."

Northern Eagle looked grim; he certainly didn't believe he was powerful enough to handle this situation.

This stalemate is purely because the other party is enjoying the thrill of this cat-and-mouse game.

He felt both angry and frustrated.

Is there any chance to escape?

To return to reality, aside from dying, you can exit combat after 5 minutes.

But as he was thinking this, a sharp claw pierced his chest, and the werewolf lifted him up.

Information flashed rapidly before the Northern Eagle's eyes.

You have been attacked by "■".

You have taken 27 points of damage.

[Received 36 points of damage]

You have been killed...

You have taken 28 points of damage.

You have taken 18 points of damage.

You have been killed again...

You have lost 500 Oak Power.

The two illusory lives of the Northern Eagle vanished, its figure disappearing from the spot with a bang.

"Pretty easy." The werewolf-like player reverted to his original form, shook his head, and said, "The beta testers from China aren't all that great."

"It's a pity. If we could actually kill him here, we could cultivate a new Sequence 8 Beyonder," another person said. "That would be much faster than doing dungeon quests."

"Take your time, there will be opportunities sooner or later."

Royal Club, meeting room.

The figure of the Northern Eagle slowly emerged.

"Brother Bei." Upon seeing the Northern Eagle, the Cutter almost burst into tears. "Brother Bei, my 'Oak Power' is down to only 67."

Northern Eagle's lips twitched; he wasn't much better off, having also had 500 Oak Power directly plundered.

"The Tengu Society, these are players from Yingzhou."

"My information indicates that the other party has a fear of the dark," and also a werewolf transformation ability, which isn't sold in the Great Mother's Treasure Shop.

The tailor reviewed the information displayed on his phone, his voice heavy.

"Brother Bei, aren't these at least blue elite-level skills? The opponent isn't weak among the beta testers, is he?"

"At least he's much better than me." Northern Eagle gave a wry smile.

"It wasn't just us who were robbed; many casual players and peripheral teams of clubs were also attacked and robbed."

"Some beta testers are already trying to band together and cause them some trouble."

"However, those guys' movements are also very strange. After looting a wave, they simply disappeared without a trace, and we don't know where they are now."

"They're just picking on the weak." The tailor frowned.

"If you're really that good, why don't you go find the top 100 players on the leaderboard?"

"Announcements from major guilds like the Tengu Guild and the Rizhao Guild state that PVP is simply normal game competition, and they welcome friendly matches..."

Since the game was still running in the background, Li Qianyi would take time to browse the forums while resting and recovering his spiritual energy.

Upon logging in, I saw some rather sensational information.

"The Tengu Society, the Rizhao Society—these are Japanese gaming clubs, but they're actually the Blessed Society," and also known as the "Silent Covenant."

"There's a beta tester in the Sunlight Society named Amaterasu," who ranked 11th in the Five Grains Defense War and seems to be an Extraordinary being of the Solar Path.

Li Qianyi knew why the Heavenly Dog Society had issued such a notice.

It's nothing more than worrying about the fate of the "out-of-the-box" scheme.

After all, China's main extraordinary power is concentrated in the "Imagination Bureau," while new players mostly possess the power of grace.

However, although the Tengu Society and the Rizhao Society are nominally game clubs, they are in essence official institutions of the island nation.

"It's shameless, but that's exactly what they've always done."

Li Qianyi looked at the players' complaints.

"I put in a lot of effort to accumulate 200 Oak Power, and they were all snatched away by those beta testers in one go."

Me too.

"Domestic beta testers still have some shame. Although there are some, many of them are foreign beta testers who are hiding their identities."

Some people protested online, saying, "A white skill requires at least 500 Oak Power, and a rare skill requires several thousand."

"New players work hard for three days and only manage to save up two or three hundred, while high-level beta testers can plunder it all in less than a minute. This is so unfair."

"Isn't anyone going to do anything about this?"

"How can we manage this? Do we really need the official team to get involved in in-game PvP competition?"

One person analyzed online: "The game's mechanics are very strange."

"Beta testers have a first-mover advantage. As long as they don't die, they can quickly farm Oak Power and obtain more skill scrolls. The faster they farm monsters, the more Oak Power they can plunder each day."

"As for new players like us, it's hard to beat monsters when we fight alone, so we can only join some guild teams to get some scraps."

"I gave up on this event a long time ago. This event is not for newbies at all. I only have 15 HP. Even if I have two lives, those low-level monsters have only 30 HP. I can barely scratch them, but they can scrape my bones. They can kill me in two hits."

"I envy rich people. They don't have to fight. They just spend money and earn 500 Oak Power every day."

"There are limitations, otherwise they could probably overtake the first place in no time."

"Fighting monsters is already difficult enough, and now there's a group of guys who specialize in plundering the power of the oak trees." I'm thinking of quitting the game.

o

"Actually, there is another way for new players to obtain high-level skills."

Just then, a player with the ID "Infernal Affairs" suddenly spoke up.

"What method?"

In the "Switching Sides" episode, the character from the movie "Infernal Affairs" says, "Actually, I had previously received a letter from the 'Blessed Trust' inviting me to switch sides."

"However, because it was a warning to the opposing faction, I didn't accept the invitation, but I haven't deleted the email either."

"Just now, I received another letter saying that if I'm willing to switch factions, I'll be rewarded with a green rare-level skill. I was tempted and accepted the invitation."

"Really? Bro, do you agree?"

"Agreed."

"Wow, what skill did you acquire?"

"The green-rarity skill 'Poison Fire Creation' allows you to remotely create poison fire. The poison fire itself deals 4-8 points of damage and also inflicts poison, dealing an additional 1 point of damage every 30 seconds, making it quite powerful."

"Poison Fire Manufacturing, awesome! I remember it costs 4000 Oak Power in the Great Mother's Treasure Shop. Brother, how did you receive the letter from the Blessed Guild? I want one too."

"It depends on luck, I don't know."

"Isn't that the same as betraying your faction? Aren't there any punishments?" someone asked doubtfully.

"I've lost my original divination skill and the Fool's Church affiliation, but that doesn't matter much else."

'

The words from Infernal Affairs weren't finished yet.

A message appeared on the forum: "Player Infernal Affairs" has been banned for 100 years.

"Didn't you say it was okay? How come you were banned so quickly? Hilarious."

"I don't care about being banned on the forum, I'm just worried about getting my account banned after switching factions."

"They've been banned for 100 years, so their accounts are probably shut down now."

If their accounts are banned, it means that acquiring various extraordinary skills is no longer relevant to them, and they are directly kicked out of this transformation.

"Of course your account will be banned."

However, the reason for the account ban was not because the player named "Infernal Affairs" obtained the power of the "Mother Tree of Desire".

Li Qianyi shook his head.

The ability itself is not a sin, and the healing power of the Great Mother can also play a crucial role in battle.

"The Great Mother's treasure also contains the blessings of the Outer Gods, but there was no notice to stop people from exchanging for it."

"This is because as long as the player remains in their faction and is under the watchful eyes of the Fools, even if they receive the corresponding blessings, the corrupting aspects can be blocked by great beings like the Fools."

"But if you directly switch factions, you will be directly affected by the Outer Gods. If they don't ban you, who will they ban?"

"Poison Fire Production" originates from Sequence 8 "Cold-Blooded" of the Criminal Pathway.

"This guy shouldn't be in Jinling City, otherwise we'd have to handle him."

Li Qianyi shook his head.

A message popped up in the game.

【Dear Lost One, Dongjun】, the exploration has ended.

During this exploration, you triggered the event (The Secret of the White Queen Tavern Owner), and you gained 1800 Divine Faith and the special item "The Iron Box Sealed by Chains".

"An iron box sealed with chains?" Li Qianyi pondered. "This is an unexpected find."

[View event?]

Li Qianyi chose yes.

【Yes】

[Event: The Tavern Owner's Secret]

[Due to the extortion by the "White Queen" tavern owner, you have lost a considerable amount of "Divine Faith".]

Feeling increasingly angry after taking a step back, you chose to lie in wait near the tavern until late at night, finally finding an opportunity to follow them to their home.

[While the other person is asleep, you attempt to plunder their belongings.]

[Unfortunately, although he seized 500 "divine faith" from you during the day, his own reserves don't seem to be very abundant.]

You have gained 1800 "Divine Faith"

On the cabinet in your study, you find an iron box sealed with chains and runes, along with a letter from Beckett Perry, the Grand Master of the Silent Covenant's Knights of Retribution.

The letter informed the owner of the White Queen Tavern that the sealed item in the iron box was extremely important to him and that he should keep it safe.

Clearly, this Beckett Disciplinary Knight Commander seems to be loyal to the owner of the White Queen Tavern.

[You chose to take them all with you in order to teach this boss a lesson.]

"They didn't do anything else but keep an eye on the boss."

Li Qianyi felt that he shouldn't be that petty.

But since things had already come to this, he decided to see what the harvest was like first.

[The iron box, sealed by chains: It's heavy inside, radiating a strange power, as if it contains some special item. Should we open it?]

【Yes】

You broke the chains, opened the metal box, and saw a palm-sized black badge inside.

You have obtained the special item, the Silent Black Knight's Emblem.

"The Dark Knight's emblem?"

Upon seeing the information appear in the game, Li Qianyi had an idea and clicked on the corresponding item entry.

[Silent Black Knight Emblem: If you can find the Silent Black Knight Lance and the Silent Black Knight Armor, you can synthesize the orange-tier (Heroic) dungeon item, "The Fallen Black Knight".]

[The Fallen Black Knight: The lance pierces the veil of false heroism, the armor reflects the shadows deep within your heart. In the face of ultimate darkness and loneliness, will any form of justice morph into madness?]

[Note: After clearing the level, you can obtain the Shadow Knight's Remnant Curtain]

"The remnant of the Shadow Knight's curtain, one of the main ingredients for the potion of the Secret Prayer Path, Sequence 4 Black Knight."

Li Qianyi never expected to achieve such a result.

"Potions of Sequence 5 and above can no longer be purchased directly through Divine Faith; instead, they must be obtained through dungeons or other special quests."

Li Qianyi's current "Rose Bishop" potion requires Amon to obtain a "business license".

The "Shepherd" potion of Sequence 5, his current idea is to rely on the "Events" opened by the "Great Mother".

But now it seems there may be other opportunities.

"Could this Beckett Perry be a Sequence 5 Shepherd, searching for potion ingredients to advance to Black Knight?"

Li Qianyi had a strange premonition that he might have to interact with this Retribution Knight in the game.

He looked at the game.

You have received the Knight's Badge, but you have not forgotten your mission.

Following the guidance of the "Lord of Mysteries," you arrive at the "Radiant Colosseum" to find the merchant named "Whitebeard."

This search will take 10-30 minutes.
