Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents-Chapter 118 - 87: Good Bros! We Face Problems and Fight Enemies Together
He took a swig of beer, caught his breath, and continued speaking.
"Right after that,"
"the third major event will begin—the Evil God Invasion."
"All Lord Players, regardless of which Native Power they’ve pledged allegiance to or what grievances they have with others, must unite against a common enemy during this phase. They’ll have to fight the Void Creatures that pour out from the Void."
"They also have to watch out for the Evil God Believers and the Evil God’s armies that suddenly betray them from within the Native Powers."
He drummed his index finger on the dining table:
"If..."
"...we can defeat the Evil God’s armies,"
"our Lord World will officially enter the third stage. The level cap will be raised to 50-75, the 3-star Extraordinary Soldier Type will be unlocked, and we’ll connect with other Lord Worlds..."
"On the other hand,"
"if we *don’t* defeat the Evil God’s armies,"
"then our only choice is to voluntarily abandon our Lord’s Hall before the Evil God’s armies and Void Creatures completely overrun our territory. We’ll have to retreat to the Real World and become ordinary people again."
"We’d have to wait until the Lord Game drafts us again."
"Or,"
"we’d have to find a way to get a Lord’s Stone,"
"and actively join the newest round of the Lord Game."
"So, most of the veteran players who are always popping up in the regional channel are people who couldn’t withstand the ’Evil God Invasion’ event in the second stage and were forced to undergo Rebirth."
"Only a small number of them are experts who reached the third and fourth stages but chose to undergo Rebirth voluntarily to get a better Lord Talent or pursue other goals..."
Qin Feng already knew all this from Hungry Wolf, so he wasn’t particularly surprised. However, to play along with MC, he feigned ignorance, his eyes widening in cooperation.
"Huh?"
"So that’s how it is?"
MC nodded gravely.
"Yes."
"Exactly."
"Because of that, the Lord Players who choose to pledge allegiance to an Evil God want to ensure the Evil God Faction wins the ’Evil God Invasion’ event in the second stage."
"So they take the initiative and try to eliminate all the other normal players first."
"And we normal players, to survive the second stage, band together for warmth and fight those Evil God Players to the death."
"This is why all Lord Players utterly despise Evil God Players..."
Qin Feng suddenly asked with a serious expression,
"I see."
"But I have one more question."
"If the rewards for following the path of Evil God Faith are so great, why hasn’t there been a situation where all the Lord Players in a region pledge allegiance to an Evil God and develop together?"
"To be honest, a lot of people have no moral compass. They’d do anything for the slightest bit of profit... I find it hard to believe they’d pass up a shortcut like this."
"Besides,"
"there’s no way to deal with Divine Chosen Lords in the Real World."
"Even if their real identities and information were exposed, couldn’t they just stay in the Lord World forever and have nothing to worry about?"
Facing Qin Feng’s question, which struck at the core of human nature, Su Mumu simply explained in a cool tone,
"There are reasons."
"But many people don’t meet the requirements to be chosen as a believer by an Evil God."
"If they try to force themselves to accept the Evil God’s blessing,"
"they’ll transform directly into Void Creatures."
"Moreover,"
"even if you gain the Evil God’s recognition and can accept the power of its blessing, you still have to do many anti-human things to prove your loyalty."
As she spoke, Su Mumu suddenly looked at Qin Feng, her gaze bone-chillingly cold, as if trying to pierce through to the depths of his soul.
"For example?"
"Could you stomach eating the raw flesh of your own kind?"
"Or copulating with all sorts of grotesque Extraordinary monsters?"
"Or even performing a Blood Sacrifice with your own family and friends, tying them to the Evil God’s altar to be bled out, offering their souls to the Evil God after prolonged agony?"
"Or disemboweling any human who disagrees with you, making their entrails and organs into ornaments, and wearing them on your head every day?"
"Or taking the heads of humans more outstanding than you and..."
MC hurriedly cut her off.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
"Geez!"
"Mumu, for crying out loud!"
"Tingfeng is still a newbie! Don’t tell him all this depraved stuff!"
Su Mumu’s gaze remained cold.
"I have to."
"This is something he’ll have to face sooner or later."
"Besides, it’s very likely that a twisted player preparing to pledge allegiance to an Evil God has already appeared in our Lord World."
"And they’ve even chosen to settle down right around his territory."
"They’ve completely targeted him."
"If he can’t handle the pressure,"
"the only outcome is death." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"After all, the players who become Evil God Believers are practically no different from the lunatics locked up in a mental asylum... Even if they can maintain their sanity when they first step onto this path, they’ll sooner or later become Bloodthirsty psychopaths who have no regard for life."
At her words, MC fell silent. It was clear that what Su Mumu said made a lot of sense.
If no Evil God Players had appeared,
not telling Tingfeng this disturbing stuff directly could have been considered a kindness.
But now that Evil God Players had targeted Tingfeng, not clearly explaining this vital information would be like sending him to his death completely unprepared.
"Fine..."
"You can continue..."
Su Mumu suddenly turned her face away.
"I’m done talking."
"Judging by his reaction,"
"he’s probably already guessed the rest of the Sacrificial Ceremonies of the Evil God."
At this moment, Qin Feng remained silent. He was mentally piecing together the information from Hungry Wolf with what Su Mumu and her cousin had just told him, slowly mulling it over.
’Could it be... that Undead Race Lord who wants to steal my Lord’s Stone is one of those twisted players who’ve sworn allegiance to the Evil Gods in the Void?’
’Hmm.’
’Not necessarily.’
’Maybe he’s just a homicidal maniac who doesn’t meet the conditions for Evil God Faith.’
’To put it simply, an evil player who enjoys killing indiscriminately isn’t necessarily a twisted player loyal to an Evil God.’
’But a twisted player loyal to an Evil God is *definitely* an evil person who enjoys killing indiscriminately.’
Seeing Qin Feng unresponsive for a while, MC quickly waved a hand in front of his face and asked nervously,
"Holy shit!"
"Tingfeng!"
"How’s your mental state holding up?"
Qin Feng snapped out of it.
"Huh?"
"I’m fine."
"I can handle a lot of pressure."
"I was just thinking... about whether that player named ’Gale’ really intends to become an Evil God Believer."
Su Mumu’s tone was icy.
"Tingfeng, whether he really intends to become an Evil God Believer or not, he’s coming to destroy your Lord’s Hall."
"You have to strike back at him with the same brutality."
"Destroy his Lord’s Hall."
"This is the ultimate creed that all of us Divine Chosen Lords must remember."
"An eye for an eye."
"A tooth for a tooth."
"By my estimation, if these people really want to take you out, they’ll probably set up camp around your territory first. They’ll wait for the Day of Battle in the fourth stage of the ’Strongest Lord’ event, then gather all their Divine Chosen Legion soldiers and attack your Lord’s Hall simultaneously."
"When that time comes,"
"my cousin and I will send our main forces to support you."
"If my judgment is wrong and they attack early... tell us immediately. My cousin and I will send reinforcements right away."
MC rubbed his chin, pondering.
"Won’t that be too late?"
Su Mumu rolled her eyes.
"Can’t you just dispatch your main forces to station them in the territory of a friendly power in the Northern Forest beforehand?"
"Then, when that group is about to make their move,"
"you can mobilize to attack?"
MC’s eyes lit up.
"Ehehe? You’re right! Why didn’t I think of that?"
Qin Feng frowned and said,
"This?"
"Is this really necessary?"
"If you move your entire elite main force, the Divine Chosen Legion, all the way to the distant Northern Forest, it’s bound to affect your daily rankings in the ’Strongest Lord’ event!"
"And in turn, you’ll lose out on a lot of Dragon Drill rewards..."
MC waved his hand dismissively, a nonchalant look on his face.
"Hah!"
"What’s the big deal?"
As he spoke, he clapped Qin Feng hard on the shoulder, laughing heartily.
"Tingfeng! I’ve always thought you were a good guy! I’ve considered you a good buddy for a long time now!"
"And what do good buddies do?"
"We shoulder problems together! We fight enemies together! We advance and retreat as one!"
"It’s just a few hundred Dragon Drills!"
"Who needs ’em!"
"Right?"
"Mumu?"
But Su Mumu suddenly held out her hand to Qin Feng, her tone leaving no room for ambiguity.
"I’m different."
"You’ll have to pay me for this operation."
"Three hundred Unit Promotion Cards in total, in exchange for five hundred Zero-star (Gold) Divine Chosen mercenaries to help defend my home base. No problem, right?"
