I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 586 - 319: Why is the Opportunity Child Skill?

"Damn it, I can’t observe anything." Gu Shanhai cursed.

He originally thought to fleece the big nothing a bit, but after observing back and forth, he found that he couldn’t effectively observe any other data. It was as if this observation method was specifically designed to track its movement and time.

As for where the observation method came from, it was given by the world when the gods fell and turned into Saints, akin to a gift from heaven. Thus, Gu Shanhai found it quite difficult to modify because its scope was limited from the moment of its creation; even if he tried to change it, he could only play in a snail shell, never achieving the effects he wanted.

After struggling for three days, Gu Shanhai gave up and could only wait to see more when the big nothing came closer.

"I still underestimated the players’ attitude towards this world’s main story. How long has it been and already one hundred billion people have poured in." Gu Shanhai glanced at the data freshly compiled by Saint City. That was just the first batch, and by now, the number must have increased.

"I initially suspect about one-tenth of the player population has come here."

Gu Shanhai had already seen about three hundred billion players when he entered the Daoist Soldier World, and the players weren’t in the real world where they need cars, houses, or to fawn over male and female gods. In the game, they could win over natives through improving relations, so the birth rate was consistently high.

That’s right, even if the other party was a native NPC, as long as they had a child with a player, that child could obtain Second Generation Player status in the "First Era."

If they had many children, they could even gain additional permanent boosts, which might seem minimal, but were of the highest priority.

All Gu Shanhai could say was these people were really beasts.

"At least the world is getting better, and the influence of the big nothing is dissipating." Gu Shanhai had also seen many notable figures from previous epochs like players with simulator talents, text prompts, universal popularity, etc. entering the scene. Such top-tier players could count as a hundred billion people.

If it weren’t for his unfamiliarity with this kind of player, perhaps just one could have solved the big nothing problem.

They naturally possessed the "First Era" popularity.

Ordinary players were just small salesmen while these were the sales champions; the treatment couldn’t be the same.

If it were up to Gu Shanhai, he would also favor them greatly, occasionally sending gifts to get them to work overtime, just so he could fully pay off a villa at the end of the year.

So, it was a bit of a talent waste coming all this way.

It’s probably because this time was quite unique, well-known to everyone, so they came to explore the situation and incidentally take on the world’s main storyline.

Even for these top-tier players, the rewards generated by the main storyline of one of the highest-tier worlds in the current phase were tempting.

Gu Shanhai was hiding precisely to avoid encountering these players.

Their investigation methods involved simulations or textual prompts, so as long as there was some interaction or causality established, the other party could continually expand from this point, perhaps creating a substantial loophole.

Furthermore, Gu Shanhai never considered competing with them; what’s wrong with quietly growing stronger? There was no point in conflicting with them, no benefits.

He wasn’t one of those who couldn’t bear to see others do well and just wanted to step on them to assert his presence or superiority.

The other party had come from afar to help, even if it was for the reward. One should be grateful. After all, he was also gaining from it. If he couldn’t even maintain that mindset, it would be better to leave sooner rather than later.

"Yo~" Little White pattered over, seeming to indicate someone was coming.

Gu Shanhai gave a quick scan with his Spiritual Sense, but didn’t take it to heart; just an Adventure King World native with a strength level of LV10.

"Just passing by, how could an LV10 adventurer come here... well, it seems he really is coming for us." Gu Shanhai was a bit puzzled. freewēbnoveℓ.com

The newcomer was a brawny middle-aged man, his muscles comparable to Little White’s.

"Dusk Saint, I’ve finally found you." There seemed to be a sense of suppression in the man’s tone.

"What... do we know each other?" Gu Shanhai felt his reputation was great, but all positive, right? Given the man’s aggressive stance, it seemed he wanted to tear Gu Shanhai apart.

"Heh~ Don’t know! You actually dare say you don’t know!!!" The man seemed a bit triggered, unable to accept the situation.

"Uh? Should I know you?" Gu Shanhai was also speechless, mentally flipping through his memories, truly not recognizing him. Then he said, "If there’s any offense, I apologize here?"

Seeing the man about to break down, Gu Shanhai thought he’d just apologize; after all, it was just words, not costing him anything real. For Gu Shanhai, face didn’t matter; benefits were what counted.

"Are you... humiliating me?" This time the man seemed as if his tail had been stepped on, his fur exploding.

"No, no, no, my apology is very sincere. If you really don’t believe it, I can also punish myself with three drinks." Gu Shanhai stated, indicating his bottom line; any more would be too much.

"Get lost...splat~"

The brawny man, annoyed and embarrassed, attempted to attack Gu Shanhai but before he could finish speaking, he was sent flying into a wall with a slap from Gu Shanhai.

With no enmity between them, it was no big deal for Gu Shanhai to step back; it wasn’t affecting his interests.
