GBP Chapter 163 Angel Guild
Chapter 163 Angel Guild
“Generally speaking, if your abilities and strength are related, then most of your strength comes from a mysterious being who controls that power,” Li Wu said. “We usually call Him ‘Hercules.’”
“If you have the ability to be a heartthrob, or if everyone has a crush on you,” Ruan Yun said, “that usually comes from some mysterious being related to ‘love’.”
“For example, Xiaoyue’s protective shield is a witch,” Ruan Yun said. “Her power is also related to poisons and other potions.”
"But for us players who don't have any protective abilities, it's the same for everyone," Sun Zhao said.
Even if you know who your power comes from, it won't give you any more benefits.
"The only way for you to gain power is by completing tasks through the system and earning points to upgrade."
“But there are exceptions.” Li Wu said, looking at Su Yumin, who hadn’t spoken and who seemed to be asleep.
“For example, some people’s power may be related to war and killing.” Li Wu pointed out, “He deliberately shows this quality in the live broadcast room, which can attract people who are interested in this.”
"They will give rewards to players through the live stream, bypassing the main system's reward pool..."
“The downside is that players will amplify certain emotions.” Ruan Yun gave an example: “There was a player who awakened the charm of being a heartthrob and deliberately created a chaotic situation in the live stream to enjoy the feeling of being loved by everyone.”
"Make the NPCs and players in the dungeon compete for your affections."
Yan Xun felt this plot sounded familiar, and he looked at Ruan Yun, "And then?"
"Then he was divided and hidden away by his admirers," Ruan Yun said subtly.
Yan Xun: "..."
Was he dismembered?
"What about that mysterious entity that invested in him?" Yan Xun asked.
According to their previous statement, as players grow stronger and their soul power increases, it can also give back to these mysterious beings.
Now that the seeds they invested in have been nipped in the bud, wouldn't the mysterious entity be furious with the player who killed their seeds?
“Of course not.” Ruan Yun shook her finger. “What do you think we are?”
"What is it to them?"
"A pet?" Yan Xun asked.
“You’re not even as good as a pet,” Sun Zhao said. “Unless it’s a protective bond formed directly, then it will treat you like a pet…” Noticing Sun Yue in the conference room, he paused slightly, but continued speaking.
"Even if other people reward you or invest their resources in you, they just treat players as fun toys."
"That popular streamer only ended up like this because she deliberately tried to please him," Li Wu said, clearly indicating that they all knew what this was about.
"The other party just likes chaotic and evil emotions, and enjoys complicated and exciting relationships. He flatters that person, and that person invests in him, allowing him to amplify these traits. Do you think He would be saddened by this player's death?"
"He will just clap and cheer, feeling like he's watched another good show," Lou Yanchuan said.
He looked at Yan Xun with a meaningful gaze.
"These mysterious beings are different from us."
"Just like I said before about Jia Ye, do you think it's as simple as just seeing His appearance causing blood to flow from all seven orifices?"
Lou Yanchuan tapped the table, “He has been deified. If He were still high above us, we players would turn into blood and rotting flesh the moment we saw Him.”
“Maybe they don’t want to kill you,” Ruan Yun said, “but do you ever think about how many ants you’re stepping on when you walk?”
“Even if there is no intention to harm you subjectively, the existence of these things is a form of harm in itself,” Sun Zhao concluded.
Yan Xun leaned back in his chair, looking at the veteran players in the conference room.
Su Yumin then spoke up, "Is it really that exaggerated?"
"I feel fine."
Sun Zhao shrugged and didn't say anything.
Yan Xun knew he meant—don't argue with a fool.
“I have good communication with that person in my live stream,” Su Yumin said. “Anyway, as long as we don’t form a contract, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”
Sun Yue seemed frightened by their words until Ruan Yun patted her on the shoulder and said, "Not all mysterious beings are hostile to players."
She had witnessed the witch's descent; under normal circumstances, protection wouldn't descend so easily.
They will only share their power with their partner.
The fact that the witch was willing to descend, and that Sun Yue's body did not collapse but only slept for a few days, proves that the witch had no ill intentions towards her.
“Now that we’ve covered the basics, we can talk about the mission details,” Li Wu said, then looked at Lou Yanchuan.
"Just say it," Lou Yanchuan said.
Li Wu nodded, then switched the content on the screen.
“I’ve told you all about this mission before,” Li Wu said, pointing to the mission description for “Adopting a Cat” behind him.
“There is very little discussion about S-rank dungeons, whether on forums or within guilds,” Li Wu said. “However, coincidentally, the Rewind guild has participated in several S-rank related missions.”
"These tasks have one thing in common..."
Li Wu looked at the people in the conference room and said, "Some are involved with mysterious entities, while others have cruel methods of passing through."
"Fortunately, this time the guild leader will bring an item that allows him to force his way out of the instance, so even if he can't clear it in the end, he can still leave," Li Wu said.
Yan Xun looked at the PPT behind Li Wu.
The mission information was the same as the one I had received in the previous communications—
[Task: Adopt a Human Cat (S+)]
Welcome to Jonathan's Company! You can now collect your human-cat...
"You have a bad memory? Didn't our last mission at the Meimei Building end up as an S-rank?" Su Yumin said.
"Doesn't this fall under what I said, involving the realm of mysterious beings?" Li Wu asked.
The last time we encountered the Meimei Building instance, it was because an unknown entity invaded the instance, which led to the increased difficulty.
Yan Xun thought about the pitch-black "Gui Yuchong," wondering if it was also a mysterious entity.
Sun Zhao raised his hand, "Let's talk about this mission first."
“We don’t know much about this mission.” Li Wu switched to a slide of the PowerPoint presentation using the remote control. “This is the team we sent last time.”
"They are all senior members of the guild."
"We can't contact the last member who left."
“And there’s more bad news,” Li Wu said, looking at them. “The Angel Guild has also obtained the key to enter the human-cat realm.”
Angel Guild? A bird-man with long wings appeared in Yan Xun's mind.
"Those lunatics?" Su Yumin asked. "Will they enter the instance with us?"
Yan Xun couldn't help but look at Su Yumin—
Even mentally ill people call themselves mentally ill... He simply couldn't believe it!
