Chapter 2 The Truth About the Player

From a normal person's point of view, "Lazy de Impermanence" and "Chaos 13" are two weirdos! But if you look at it from the player's point of view, their behavior is very normal, very "player". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Green was also a player in his previous life, so he naturally knows how to get along with players.

"By the way, buddy, I don't know what your name is." Impermanence suddenly stopped Green.

Green blinked: "My ID is the little yellow book type Mona." Green decisively reported a fake ID.

"Little Yellow Book Mona?" Lazy de impermanence clicked on the system interface, ready to add a green friend, "Which Mona is Mona?" ”

"Mo at the beginning of the cursive word, Na next to the female word. But I'm afraid you won't be able to add me as a friend. I was in a rather unique solo mission, I couldn't team up, and even the entire social board was locked. Green continued to speak.

"Huh? There is such a task!? Chaos 13's eyes widened.

"Is it a legendary hidden mission?" Lazy De Impermanence seemed to think of something, and looked a little excited, "Did you receive a hidden mission from those special NPCs?" ”

"Special NPCs?" Green was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Which do you mean?" ”

"Which one else? Of course, it's the special NPCs that run around a lot, but never release quests. ”

Hearing the words of impermanence, Green's eyes lit up. Green doesn't remember that there are such NPCs in the game, so in other words, those so-called "special NPCs" are likely to be "natives" like himself!?

That's good news for Green.

There are some people on the main plane who have become fans of time, and this is something that Green has known for a long time - such as Mitchell and the missing guards of Golden Water Dragon City, these two are currently known to be fans of time, but there must be many others that Green does not know.

The situation is currently unknown, and Green feels the need to meet the so-called "special NPCs" and ask them for information.

Greene: "Hmm~ almost. I went back to the Novice Village just to find those special NPCs, do you know what special NPCs are in the Novice Village now? ”

"I don't know much about that...... You can go to taverns and churches. ”

"Hmm...... I understand. After inquiring about the information he wanted, Green was ready to leave, "Then I'll go first, and the two of you will have a chance to play together again in the future." ”

After saying goodbye to two more players, Green hurried away.

Seeing Green leave, he couldn't help but touch his chin: "I always feel that this player is a little weird." ”

"Maybe I'm worried that the hidden mission will fail." Chaos 13 didn't care about this, "By the way, I'm going to go to the Night Black Cat dungeon to farm the hidden materials later, do you want to come along?" ”

"Good! Let's go together~"

The two players walked out of the city, but before they could take a few steps, they were blocked by the dense flow of people in the square.

Players can only attack each other when they are in a team or PK. If you don't team up and don't enter the PK state, each player has an "anti-congestion aura" with a diameter of one meter, and they can't cross the "anti-crowding aura" to communicate physically with each other - it's impossible to hit the chest, touch the butt or anything, let alone PK.

So while there is a gap between the players in the square, the two players can't squeeze in because the actual size of the players is much larger than it seems.

"There are too many people in the first district, let's change the district." Chaos 13 clicked on the system and began to check the congestion level of each district.

"That's not right!" Lazy De Impermanence suddenly opened his eyes wide, "No! Wrong! ”

"What's wrong?" Chaos 13 looked strangely at the player he had just met.

"That person just now, why was he able to squeeze out!?" Lazy De Impermanence frowned deeply, "He doesn't seem to have a collision volume!" ”

"Hmm...... Is it because of the hidden mission? Chaos 13 couldn't help frowning, "Could it be that he is in a state where he can PK casually because of the mission!?" ”

"Hmm...... There is a possibility. No wonder he hid his true identity and strength. ”

"Your results are all question marks?"

"Yes. It's all question marks. ”

Green hurried out of the street and headed straight for the church.

It's a war-torn town, full of ruins and ruins, and with few NPCs, it looks like a cheap online game.

Although the town looks very dilapidated, it has some relatively intact buildings - such as the tavern and the Church of the Earth Goddess.

The Tavern is where the player buys food, and the Church is where the player heals injuries and ailments. Due to the cost of healing and the high price, the business of the church in the novice village is very cold, and except for a few local tyrant players, almost no one will take care of the church's business - for new players, it is better to kill themselves and resurrect them than to spend money on healing.

Green walked into the church.

In the church, a nun and an old priest are standing under the idol, and a player is standing in front of the priest, having a conversation with the priest.

Green looked around and didn't see any special NPCs.

After a moment's hesitation, Green walked to the back of the church.

Green walked straight through the back door of the church.

"Sure enough......"

Normally, the church's backyard is an inaccessible area for players, but Green is not a pure player.

Upon entering the church's backyard, Green saw a very ordinary backyard and a blonde girl who looked very familiar.

"Mitchell?" Green greeted, quietly dropping a test.

It is the habit of players to lose a shot when they meet, as long as the other party does not deliberately conceal their combat effectiveness, they can generally be identified. However, the evaluation of the combat power of the other party's "Golden Rank" made Green couldn't help but suspect that there was something wrong with his identification.

How could a mere leaking girl become a high priest in such a short period of time! Is Mother Earth blind?

Green's brain turned, and he instantly thought of the reason: "It seems that Mother Earth attaches great importance to this world......"

The power of the priest comes from the gods, as long as they can obtain the favor of the gods, even an ordinary mortal can instantly become a gold rank or even a legend! If Mother Earth attaches importance to this "copy world", then Mitchell, as Mother Earth's only pawn in this world, will naturally be focused on training.

The girl turned her head and looked at Green with a surprised expression: "Green...... Predecessor? ”

"Great." Green breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm worried I've mistaken someone." ”

A strange expression flashed on Mitchell's face: "Senior, why are you here?" ”

Greene: "I accidentally died, and I woke up here." Do you know what's going on in the world? ”

Mitchell thought for a moment: "Senior, please come with me." ”

Mitchell walked to a room.

Green hesitated for a moment and followed Mitchell inside, which turned out to be a prayer room.

In the small prayer room, a statue of Mother Earth is placed on an altar carved with the emblem.

Mitchell knelt in front of the altar, praying.

Green hesitated for a moment, then stood in place, looking at the statue on the altar.

After a short prayer, the idol on the altar began to glow, and at the same time, the eyes of the idol seemed to come to life, and a divine power spread through the prayer room.

Green felt the god's gaze.

Green looked up at the statue, then at Mitchell, and felt that the situation in front of him was a bit exaggerated. I just want to inquire about the information, why did I attract the attention of Mother Earth!?

If an ordinary priest disturbs the gods for such a trivial matter, he will definitely eat the punishment of God!

It seems that Mother Earth takes the world more seriously than I thought.

After a while, Mitchell stood up and turned around.

"Now this place has been cut off by the divine power of the Mother Goddess. Senior Green, if you have any questions, just ask. ”

"I have a lot of questions, but ......," Green looked up at the statue of Mother Earth, "you better tell me where this is and why I'm here." ”

"This is the kingdom of some ancient god. It is a great deity with the authority of time and space, and the oldest guardian of the world. The Ancient Guardian was slain by the Shadow Demon King, and before he died, he threw all his power into the main plane, and then we obtained it, after which we became the heirs of the Old God...... You can call us 'Moment'. We are the heirs of the power of the Old Gods, with the power of time, so that even if we die, we will be resurrected in this world without actually dying. ”

Green blinked, "Sounds pretty good." ”

"If there were no thieves out there, it would be nice."

Green's face was stunned: "Thief? ”

"Yes." Mitchell nodded, "Senior Green, you should have noticed those creatures outside, right?" Those locust-like creatures! ”

Forehead...... Is this talking about players? Well, the number of players is indeed comparable to locusts!

"The Guardian of Time has poured most of his power into his kingdom and transformed it into a seal against the Shadow Demon King, while channelling some of his power into the main plane to choose his successor. Originally, we were supposed to be the 'Chosen One' and have a grand 'Battle of the Gods' in this world, and the winner will become the new Guardian of Time. However, the Shadow Demon King sensed this and interfered with this world, resulting in the emergence of the 'Time Locusts' in this world. ”

"Hmm......" Green touched his chin, "so...... Because of those thieves, the War of the Gods can't be opened? ”

"Yes." Mitchell nodded, "Senior Green, I hope you can form an alliance with me to exterminate those 'Time Locusts' together!" ”

Green looked down in thought.

Mitchell's statement completes Green's previous speculation.

Green has had quite a few speculations before:

Guess 1: You are a highly intelligent NPC in the game, and those players are the real players.

Guess 2: This world is real, and the players are also real, this is an invasion of the earth in the name of "game" to another world.

Guess 3: The world is real, and those "players" are a group of divine creatures with the player's memories - like heroic spirits or summoned creatures. They have the memories of their players, but they are not real players.

And in Mitchell's mouth, those "players" are the third type. A group of special summoned creatures born from the intervention of the Shadow Demon King, whose purpose is to disrupt the birth of a new "Time Guardian"!

"That being said, they should be immortal and immortal just like us, right?" Green didn't fully believe Mitchell's words, "How are we going to kill them?" How will the War of the Gods begin? What are the rules for canonizing gods? ”

"The War of the Gods has already begun, so we were able to kill them." Mitchell pointed at Green and herself, "They'll kill us too!" As for the rules of the War of the Gods...... Those who survive to the end will inherit the authority of the Guardian of Time. ”

Green stared blankly at the girl in front of him: "Wait...... You're saying that only one of the two of us will survive? ”

"Yes."

Green's face was full of confusion: "If that's the case, why are you telling me this?" Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? ”

"I don't mind." Mitchell looked at Green indifferently, "If you become a Time Keeper, it is better than a Shadow Lord or those locusts or a believer in the God of Conspiracy to become a Time Keeper. ”

Green's eyes widened: "...... You mean that the people involved in this fight are not only you and me and those 'thieves', but also the Shadow Lord and other evil factions!? ”

"Yes." Mitchell's face was miserable, "I'm no match for them, I don't even dare to leave this temple!" It's better to let you win than to let others win. ”

As a priest in the good camp, Mitchell is clearly ready to sacrifice.

Green couldn't help but glance at the statue: "Even with the help of Mother Earth?" ”

"The golden level is already the limit." Mitchell smiled wryly, "And, I'm a priest. There is no combat power at all! Among the enemies were the Assassins of the Lord of Shadows. ”

Green frowned slightly.

If this is exactly what Mitchell suggests, then Green does need to form an alliance with himβ€”whether Mitchell is really willing to sacrifice himself or not. After all, there are too many enemies, even if it is just an ally who will betray sooner or later, it is better than fighting alone.

"I need to make sure what you're saying is true or not."

Mitchell: "I'll untie my guards, and you can peer into my mind." ”

Greene: "...... If I kill you, will I be able to resurrect you after I become a Time Keeper? ”

Mitchell hesitated for a moment: "Please wait, I'll ask ......"

"Please."

Mitchell knelt in front of the idol and began to communicate with the gods.

After a while, Mitchell turned her head: "There is a way to resurrect." ”

Greene: "Then let's make a pact." Whoever survives either of us in the end, the one who survives will be responsible for resurrecting the other. ”
