Becoming God starting with the word game in Lord of Mysteries

Shanghai, the conference room of the Fantasy Bureau.

Dozens of members of the Fantasy Bureau are having a meeting.

At the central conference table are five captains of sequence 7 and six vice-captains of sequence 8.

A leaderboard is being projected on the large screen; it is the current leaderboard.

[Top Fairy Tale Seeds Ranking]

[First Place: 『■■■■』 (Seed of Fairy Tales - 8150)]

Second Place: Gabriel (Seed of Fairy Tales - 3680)

[Third Place: 'Millet' (Seed of Fairy Tales - 2175)]

[Fourth Place: 'Little Red Riding Hood' (Seed of Fairy Tales - 1935)]

Fifth Place: 『』 (Seed of Fairy Tales 1860)

……

The main purpose of this meeting was to decide on the stance and battle plan of the Shanghai Fantasy Bureau in the final battle for the City of Miracles.

Xie Tang spoke first, "Judging from the current rankings, the top five players have the highest probability of obtaining the Old World Tomb."

"It goes without saying that Su Mi is the matriarch of the cult 'Five Grains Mother'."

"Gabriel's identity can most likely be confirmed as the leader of the 'Redeemer Ark,' the 'Pure White Son,' and he is accompanied by at least one Sequence 6 demon."

"His number of fairy tale seeds was originally among the top, but a couple of days ago, something happened and it was cut in half."

"The ranking has now dropped to below seventh place."

"Little Red Riding Hood is a fairy tale elder of the American Witcher Guild, which gives her a certain advantage."

"As for the first place," Xie Tang said, looking at Tan Bin.

Tan Bin coughed lightly and said, "That should be the 'Shepherd' I told you about before."

"He is a favorite of the 'Eternal Darkness' in the game, so he enjoys a very high level of information secrecy."

"Besides that, he also helped us defeat the demons when he was in Jinling City, and he was a member of the Order side."

"In this Nightmare Fairy Tale incident, many ordinary citizens who were trapped in the 'nightmare' were also saved."

"Judging from the rankings, the opponent has the most Fairy Tale Seeds and has the highest probability of obtaining the 'City of Miracles'."

My suggestion is...

But before he could finish speaking, a deep voice interrupted him.

"Does Captain Tan mean we should use the resources of the Fantasy Bureau to help a casual player like him?"

Tan Bin looked up and saw that the person who interrupted him looked to be nearly 40 years old, with a stern face and seemed unapproachable.

He nodded. "Yes, Captain Wang, is there a problem?"

"I feel Captain Tan, you're oversimplifying things," Wang Guodong said in a deep voice.

"First of all, he is not a member of the Bureau of Extraordinary Thoughts. He himself is burdened with a powerful ancient tomb and has always been an existence beyond our control."

"Secondly, you've only met that 'shepherd' four or five times."

"Are you so sure that all his actions were without his own ulterior motives?"

"He has goodwill towards you and is getting close to you. Could it be that he is actually trying to build a good relationship with you, use the resources of our Fantasy Bureau, and then achieve some ulterior motives?"

"And look at the number of his fairy tale seeds."

Wang Guodong pointed to the exaggerated number.

"You said he has already obtained an 'Old World Tomb,' and that 'Millet,' that 'Demon,' and 'Gabriel' also possess an Old World Tomb."

"But in acquiring the Seed of Fairy Tales, they have fallen far behind him."

"This shows that he possesses even more incredible power."

"If he were to acquire another 'Old World Tomb,' to what extent would his power reach? Could the leader of Sequence 6 handle it?"

"If he tries to cause trouble, who among us can stop him?"

"No matter how powerful the ancient tombs are, they are still afraid of divine power."

Tan Bin frowned and said, "Moreover, he is a chosen one of the Eternal Darkness, and it is impossible for him to become a cultist."

"They're just characters in a game, and besides, are they all really believable?" Wang Guodong shook his head.

His words could be considered blasphemous, but apart from a very few individuals whose attitudes were somewhat ambiguous, most people generally accepted his views.

"What does Captain Wang mean?" Tan Bin narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What I mean is, we shouldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders," Wang Guodong said in a deep voice. "Xiao Jun."

Soon, a figure in a white coat stood up outside the conference room.

This is a young man in his early twenties wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

Wang Jun smiled and said, "Captains and members of the Bureau of Extraordinary Thoughts, I hope you can all help me fight for this ancient tomb."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces in the conference room became subtle.

One of the female captains, who was looking at the young woman, glanced at Wang Guodong and said calmly, "Captain Wang, if I remember correctly, Wang Jun should be your nephew, right?"

"Captain He, you don't need to misunderstand." Wang Jun adjusted his glasses and smiled.

"I have no selfish motives in vying for this ancient tomb."

"As a Sequence 7 psychiatrist, I triggered the quest to seize the 'Key to Emptiness and Illusion' a long time ago."

"According to the mission prompt, this ancient tomb can greatly enhance my ability to soothe."

"If I can get it, I can better treat the psychological trauma of the members of the department and solve problems such as mental abnormalities caused by the potion."

"But I've never heard you mention this before," someone said.

"That's because there might be a more suitable candidate, and I don't want everyone to get into unnecessary arguments and struggles because of my task."

"But now it seems," Wang Jun said, glancing at the leaderboard on the screen, "that I might not be the least suitable."

"That sounds quite high-sounding, but you're not even in Shanghai. Aren't you treating members from your own branch office?" another burly captain sneered.

"But we are all from the Bureau of Imagination after all," Wang Jun said.

"If you need anything then, no matter how busy I am, I will definitely go and help you, won't I?"

At this moment, Wang Guodong spoke up again, "And this is at least much more reliable than the pastor that Captain Tan Bin mentioned, whose origins, identity, and purpose are all unknown."

"At least as long as I'm still in the team, Wang Jun will always be a controllable individual."

"It sounds nice, but it's still just abusing power for personal gain."

The other female captain snorted coldly, "No wonder you sent two Sequence 7 members; they were already waiting here."

Xie Tang was thinking about it. The reason she had been dragging her feet on this matter was that she had considered the possibility of this situation developing.

Resources within the bureau are generally allocated centrally and supplied to the members who contribute the most.

Personally, she naturally hoped that a member of her department would take over the ancient tomb.

Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to have a suitable candidate under her command.

In theory, Wang Guodong's plan is no different from that of a scheme involving connections.

But after comprehensive consideration, he is indeed a relatively suitable candidate.

After all, Wang Jun is also a member of the Bureau of Imagination; there's no reason for him to help an outsider instead of his own people.

However, she was more worried that if this practice of nepotism set a precedent, it might bring even more trouble later on.

Moreover, Wang Jun's official position is not in Shanghai, so they don't get that many benefits.

Tan Bin's efforts to help the pastor were largely based on his judgment of the pastor's past actions; there was some self-interest involved, but not too much.

After all, the beneficiaries are the shepherds, not their whimsical ideas.

The meeting lasted until the early hours of the morning.

Ultimately, everyone decided to help "Wang Jun" seize "Miracle City".

Tan Bin, on the contrary, encountered slight exclusion in the end because he analyzed the extremely low probability of Wang Jun's success.

Just after midnight, new message notifications popped up on everyone's phones.

[23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds remain until the "City of Miracles" truly arrives]
