I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 978 - 638 Great Vision_3

Even though the high-level players in the squad finally caught up with Brother Bei’s progress, they weren’t particularly happy.

The experience points stored on their panels increased day by day.

But it seemed to have lost any use.

Even Polaris, with the experience points he accumulated over these two years, could easily level up to over 200, yet he was unable to break through Sequence Five.

There’s a joking term among the player circles.

It goes like this: Sequence Five is very likely the game’s upper limit.

Because the difficulty of the Saint Ascension Quest is simply ridiculously high.

Not to mention the difficulty of acquiring Mythological Knowledge and High Rank materials, just take the "anchor points."

A requirement of 5 Points of Epic Fame Degree!

A total of 150 Points of Regional Fame Degree!

This is an astronomical figure for players!

Even completing an S-level task and getting a reward of 10 Points of Regional Fame Degree can be considered as exceedingly good luck.

However, to meet such a standard, one needs to complete 15 S-level tasks to trigger the Saint Ascension Quest...

Let alone the elusive Mythological Knowledge and the rather rare High Rank materials.

It’s simply unreasonable!

Players have repeatedly proposed suggestions to the officials, requesting a change of the ascension rules, starting with protests, then turning into pleas when there’s no effect, "blood petitions from thousands" have played out several times, begging the officials to lower the difficulty.

Yet, it had no effect.

The officials have never responded from the beginning to the end.

There’s another issue that further exasperates the players.

Since version 3.0, players who initially chose the Empire camp have yet to unlock the Main Quest "King in Azure."

The gray task description at the top of the quest panel is like a bone stuck in the throat, causing many players’ obsessive-compulsive disorder to flare up, yet there’s no way to resolve it.

The King in Azure has been dead for more than five years!

This damn Main Quest is still uncompleted!

So this event has been called by countless players—

"The Eternal 3.0 Version."

Both as a joke and self-mockery.

Of course, there are also complex feelings of love and hate towards "Jack Spett."

What’s loved is that He personally killed the Sun King, plunging the world into chaos, greatly increasing the pace of player upgrades and substantially boosting playability.

What’s hated is that He once again caused a bug in the game.

In some aspects, the gameplay experience was extremely poor.

"Alas, more than five years have passed in the game, we’ve unknowingly played for so long..."

Doghead Gold leaned against a shabby wooden chair, sipping the coffee beverage he carried, and lamented.

Dragon King and Horseman hauled over a few round tables, allowing everyone to gather together for a casual chat.

"About a year in reality, it’s indeed a long time."

Su Keying nodded in agreement.

"Who would have thought, the century war lasted five years and still hasn’t ended... it’s unknown when it’ll finish."

"Without the Circus, we’re like wandering souls, drifting aimlessly day by day, honestly, I’m getting tired of it..."

Wei Yin sat beside Su Keying, fiddling with his cup with a distressed expression.

"My Jack..."

Seeing the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, Dongyang diverted the topic:

"Recently, the crime rate across the entire Federation has increased, not just the Three Major Guilds, but many players have discovered the secret of bringing the extraordinary into reality... our real bodies have already inherited up to Sequence Eight, soon they’ll sync with the game’s data, if we’re able to ascend to higher ranks, won’t we then be the real myths?"

"You’ve said this countless times, Dongyang, I’m tired of hearing it."

Wei Yin pouted.

"Whether or not we become myths I don’t care, I just want my Jack!"

Dongyang raised a brow and sighed helplessly.

The group chatted idly for a few more minutes, their gazes collectively shifting towards Polaris, who remained silent.

He seemed to be thinking, lost in a daze without speaking.

"Brother Bei, don’t be troubled, yesterday’s S-level task truly was too difficult, if it’s really not possible, let’s forget it."

Pumpkin softly comforted.

Polaris snapped back to reality, shaking his head.

"After countless trials and hardships over these years, my Regional Fame Degree has finally accumulated to 142 Points, and all that’s left is this one S-level task to meet the requirement to trigger the Saint Ascension Quest... tasks of this level are rare, you all know this, if it’s missed, who knows when there’ll be another chance."

He drank a sip of hot tea and sighed.

Though stuck in Sequence Five for over two years, he hadn’t given up, he successfully obtained a piece of High Rank Destiny material a year ago through an S-level task.

Six months ago, by sheer chance, he obtained Mythological Knowledge of Sequence Four [Joker] at a certain ruin in the Spirit World.

Now, only the Fame Degree is lacking.

It has nearly become his obsession.

It’s not just the honor of becoming "the first Saint player across the server" driving him forward, but Polaris is inherently averse to losing, plus his teacher hasn’t been seen for so long, everyone says He is dead.

Even though the Polaris Squad has accepted this fact.

But he hasn’t.

He believes once he becomes a mythical creature, he’ll definitely uncover more secrets, and might even qualify to enter the Immortal Realm, to confirm the situation of their teacher from those former Circus officers.

"But this S-level task ’Rescuing the White Cat Missionary’ appears simple, yet it’s highly difficult... Dragon King and Keying have investigated thoroughly, it’s the ’Ancient Readers Squad’ from the History and Ritual Association secretly capturing those white cats, and their leader is an incarnation of a high ranker, we’re simply no match."

Chenxi stated gloomily.

Polaris glanced at his companions, speaking softly:

"I’ve privately found out some things... those ’White Cat Missionaries’ actually come from an organization called the ’Dawn Church.’

"’Dawn Church’? Is it a force similar to the ’Worldly Secret Cult’? So many new organizations have emerged over the years."

Chenxi was somewhat surprised.

"So you’re saying there’s a grudge between the History and Ritual Association and Dawn Church, and you’re planning to use this as the key to breaking the situation?"

"No, what I mean is... this Dawn Church is actually the Circus."

Polaris’s eyes were deep.

"?!

Everyone showed expressions of astonishment.

Bang!

Wei Yin slapped the table, face full of anger.

This S-level task must be done! That stupid Historical Association, during the Spirit World war they were defeated by Jack, now they must be taking this opportunity to arbitrarily seek revenge... no way, I want to help the Dawn Church, what do you all say?"

The group exchanged looks.

"What else could we say, of course, we have to help!"

Doghead Gold had an obvious expression.

"No matter what, they’re the ’old employer,’ even though we’re currently homeless, anyone wanting to mess with our Circus should be shown some colors."

"Speaking of which, how did you know these, Ah Bei?"

Dongyang asked, puzzled.

Polaris didn’t answer, but casually swiped on his screen, tossing a screenshot into the chat channel.

Everyone looked, and their eyes widened.

In the image, two people dressed in clerical decorations of the Dawn Church were leaving from one side of the street.

Although the distance was substantial, their side profile made it clear, they were formerly the Circus officers "Bloody Painter" Noah and "Doctor Sick" Maggie!

"Since everyone has no objections, I’ll perform Cloud Leap and head together to find them."

Polaris took a deep breath and stood up.

"With this, we’ll have assistance on the S-level task, and can take the opportunity to understand the ’Dawn Church,’ maybe we can reunite with the organization!"
