Evil God? My servants are players!

Chapter 7 The Insect Hive

After finding a place to hide the corpse, the two generals returned to the place where they met the new player.

"The mission is complete, let's go." The muscular man in the phase didn't say much and led the way.

Halfway there, the traveling frog asked the phase man:

"By the way, how do I accept the favorability quest? I saw that the Chaos Servant title can be upgraded."

"Affection quests are based on luck, but certain actions in the starting village can also increase affection."

The man in front, a muscular man, explained.

"For example?"

"Hmm, praising the Lord during the sacrifice? Or acting more like a lackey? I can't figure out the pattern either," the muscular man replied truthfully.

"Master? Is it the faction leader in the game description? Have you seen Him?" Travel Frog asked.

"I've never seen him. He seems to be just a background character, but occasionally he receives so-called divine revelation, triggering some favorability quests."

"Have you upgraded your title? I saw that after upgrading, you can revive twice for free every day and choose a permanent buff." The Traveling Frog decided to get to the bottom of this.

"No... it's really hard to raise favorability."

Although Hyacinth completed the task, Phase Man's favorability rating was still stuck at 9/10, which made him a little annoyed by the questions.

The traveling frog noticed the phase man's subtle emotions and ended the conversation at the right time.

After narrowly navigating through the territories of many high-level monsters, the group finally arrived at the monster-hunting area.

Here, a large hole has been torn in the wall of the underground city.

The muscular man pointed to the cave entrance and said:

"We've arrived. We usually farm monsters here, mostly level 1-6 bugs. As long as you don't aggro a bunch of monsters at once, there's not much danger."

The traveling frog peered into the hole, which stretched into a dark, seemingly endless cave, with occasional rustling sounds of crawling.

That clearly belongs to the world outside the dungeon.

"There's not even any light in here, how do you fight monsters?" the traveling frog asked.

"This game has built-in brightness adjustment, so you'll be able to see clearly once you're in the game."

The man with the muscular physique was the first to enter the cave, followed closely by the others.

After finishing his business, Shen Yuan followed the players' perspectives into the dark cave.

This was, in fact, the first time Shen Yuan had ever directly observed the world.

Like a caged bird newly released from its cage, Shen Yuan curiously looked around.

Dark caves, dangerous dungeons, and... well, strange "adventurers".

Is this what swords and magic are all about?

For a moment, Shen Yuan felt a strange excitement, as if his humanity was returning.

But Shen Yuan's good mood was interrupted by a sudden shout.

"I am! The King of Trains!!!"

A player with the "Leeroy Jenkins Lv.1" skill above his head discovered a pile of insect eggs with high levels that were completely defenseless.

He charged straight in, ready to reap the rewards.

"Holy crap! Don't touch those eggs!"

The phase man on the side tried to stop Train King's behavior.

But he was too late.

The Train King has already stepped on the egg.

Seeing this, the fully insured semi-trailer wiped its face helplessly, "There's nothing we can do now, we can only wait to die."

As the insect egg beneath Train King's feet cracked, a chain reaction ensued.

The surrounding insect eggs seemed to receive a signal and began to tremble violently.

With a cracking sound, all the insect eggs burst open at once.

A large number of mantis-like insects emerged from the eggs.

They don't have a vulnerable infancy period; at the moment they hatch,

They then demonstrated their power to the invaders.

ha!!!

Looking into the field of vision, there was a dense swarm of [Little Dog Insects lv.2].

The players were all feeling a chill run down their spines.

The insects quickly swarmed around.

As the culprit, Train King naturally became the primary target of the insects' attacks.

"Help! Help! Help me!!"

Train King brandished a tattered weapon he'd picked up at random, struggling to fend off the insects' attacks.

"Alright, there's no escape now. The other bugs have probably heard the news and are coming too. Our retreat is blocked. Let's try to gain as much experience as possible before we die."

Phase Man didn't complain about Train King's behavior; instead, he drew his weapon and joined the battle.

Upon hearing this, the other players also drew their weapons.

But two fists can't fight four hands, and no answer can be given.

With the words "Train King! You're such an idiot!", the players collapsed on the ground.

Shen Yuan, who witnessed everything, had a rather complicated feeling. To sum it up in three words, he was a complete idiot.

------

On the other side, Hyacinth was still wiping the already spotless and mirror-like altar again and again.

With flashes of white light, the divine messengers who had just left reappeared on the altar.

Although the messengers of the gods all look the same, Hyacinth can tell the difference between them by the names above their heads.

Hyacinth thought these divine messengers would need her guidance again, but they didn't come over as they had at the beginning.

This made the hyacinth both relieved and somewhat disappointed.

The Train King, who assaulted someone back then, is now apologizing to the other divine messengers.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't know."

"I also have my fault for not informing you in advance."

The man with the masculine phase also reflected on himself.

The atmosphere among the players was fairly good, and no one pursued the matter further after Leeroy Jenkins apologized.

"What do you mean? Are we still going?" suggested the fully-insured semi-trailer.

"Let's go later, let's wait for the bugs to calm down first," said the Phase Man.

"So what do we do now?" Quanxian Bangua asked.

"Do whatever you want, why are you asking me what I want to do?" the muscular man said irritably.

"How about we, um! that one!" Quan Xianban hung up and frantically winked at the muscular man in the phase.

Faced with the half-hidden face of Quanxian, the phase man really didn't realize that he was giving him a meaningful look.

However, he understood the meaning behind the words "full risk, half hanging"—it was an invitation for him to complete the monster army plan.

Then the two of them left furtively.

Other players also chose to explore, but this time they were much more cautious.

After all, once there are no more free revival opportunities, reviving will deduct experience points.

Although Shen Yuan's cost to revive players is very small, he still imposed restrictions on the players' revival.

Only the hyacinth and the traveling frog remained at the scene.

The Frog also noticed this unique NPC in the entire game.

She leaned closer to see if there were any fun tasks.

"Little one, is there anything I can help you with?"

Hyacinth shuddered when she was suddenly called to a stop.

"No, no," Hyacinth stammered in response.

"By the way, are you a believer in the Lord?" the traveling frog asked.

Although she was puzzled as to why the divine messenger didn't know her identity, Hyacinth nodded nonetheless.

"Do you have any doctrines or anything like that?" Travel Frog wanted to delve deeper into the game's plot; she always enjoyed these things.

"What is the doctrine?" Hyacinth asked, puzzled.

"Every religion has that doctrine and scripture," the traveling frog explained.

She realized that this NPC seemed to know nothing, or perhaps the game's creators knew nothing.

"Don't we have any?" Hyacinth was even more puzzled.

"no."

Faced with Hyacinth's question, Traveling Frog was speechless. Why was this NPC asking the player's question?
