Chapter 270: White Orchid Rain Festival (Fifty-three)
"Hiss..." President Alice pinched herself hard to make sure that she was not trapped in some illusion or deceived by something in the game. She couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Then he belatedly looked at the only two people present who might know the truth, "What I just saw seems to have transcended the existence of missions and games. Could this evil god's thorn bush be the evil god's lair?"
Nan Huan was not the only one who noticed the weirdness of the task upgrade. Other guild leaders, including Alice, knew that it was largely the guild leader or the eldest lady who chose them. However, after hearing about this seemingly impossible task and seeing the evil god's thorn bush with their own eyes, they could not help but have such thoughts.
After all, they couldn't understand why the evil god could influence the system to a certain extent, using tasks to make the root dragons kill each other, and then set the upgraded tasks in his own base camp.
"I think your guess is very reasonable, and to a large extent correct," President Barbie's hand injury had not healed yet, but she had no complaints about being chosen. After all, she always felt that the entire game seemed to have gone off track since they entered this copy, or that the game was fundamentally problematic, and they could finally get a glimpse of the true essence hidden behind it.
"If the evil god's thorn bush is a manifestation of all its power, then all its power is stronger than we imagined." Faced with such a powerful player, ordinary humans are bound to show fear, not to mention this kind of invitation that is harmful to it and has no benefit at all. "Then why did it choose to carry out the upgraded mission in its base camp? Is it to catch us all in one fell swoop?"
It was no wonder that President Barbie was too nervous and radical. The fact was that this matter did not make any sense, which made her doubt it. As soon as she finished speaking, except for Bei Xigen and Nan Huan, the rest of the people began to be alert to the surrounding environment.
"no."
"I don't think so."
Perhaps because they were worried that if this matter was not explained, it might have a great impact on morale, Bei Xi and Nan Huan spoke at the same time.
Then the two smiled at each other. Bei Xi had immediately confirmed that Nan Huan was not hurt, and then signaled to the other party that she would explain. Then she had begun to observe the surrounding environment. Although she knew from the task description that their upgraded task would not be so easy, and they would not die from sudden attacks, they still had to be cautious. After all, it is better to be safe than sorry.
"You should have seen that the mark of the evil god is spreading in the thorn bush, which means that the opponent's strength has not fully recovered, or has not reached an unattainable level. That's why we have a chance. As for why we chose to do it here, I guess we had no choice."
Everyone's expressions became a little more relaxed because of the eldest lady's explanation, but at the same time they also expressed doubts about what the eldest lady said.
"You all should remember that this guild league game instance was jointly promoted by the top ten guilds. The reason is the sequelae of our entry into the previous instance. The notice required to enter the previous instance was caused by someone using the system to perform a trick in the game lobby. So if we omit the unimportant and trivial processes in the middle, what will we get?"
Nan Huan is also re-examining the process of entering the game copy. It can be said that since she entered the game, every copy she entered seemed to have no connection on the surface, but in fact, they were all her own initiative or her only choice, or the system used some information to allow her to reach this step.
The Workers Guild President was the first to react, "Someone deliberately exploited the system to allow us to enter this instance."
After she finished speaking, she felt that her statement was not complete. Facing the eldest lady's affirmative expression, she added, "Do you think that the evil god deliberately used the system to make all of us enter this copy? It wants to control everyone and put us in the same situation as the residents of Bailan City?"
"We don't know what it wants to do yet," Nan Huan raised his head, trying to observe the huge black thorn that enveloped this world through the sky, "but what is certain is that even if the opponent's power has not yet reached its heyday, it already has many believers. There are people trapped in the world of each thorn here."
"I always thought that the system could be controlled by the other party to some extent, but this may not be the case, or it may not be accurate to say so."
Nan Huan thought thoughtfully about the system's contradictory behavior. After all, in the past, when the system had some incomprehensible behaviors, they were all within the same established range and would not be noticed, or it could be said that it deliberately concealed them. But at this moment, when it started this upgraded side quest, it seemed as if it didn't care about anything and didn't worry about the players noticing anything.
"Isn't that right? We were in the cocoon just now. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of a transparent barrier and what you said before entering the cocoon, I'm sure we would have already attacked those dragons and fought to the death. How could we have waited for you to trigger this upgraded task?"
"The evil god is not the only one who can affect the system," Nan Huan did not elaborate on the amulet, but just mentioned it briefly. "Although the appearance of the transparent barrier has eased the progress of the task, it has triggered a new scene. In other words, invading the system to change the progress of the game will bring certain side effects. I have just experienced it. Even the evil god cannot change this. This side effect is the bargaining chip of the system. The reason why it cooperated in showing that it was invaded was to send us here."
The atmosphere was somewhat silent. After all, this guess was very bold and it would take some time to be digested. The eldest lady took advantage of this time to synchronize with them what she had experienced in the cocoon, and of course mentioned the connection between the Holy Maiden of the Dragon God and herself and Bei Xi.
President Hongfen didn't say anything. She had known the eldest lady and the first president from the copy of Perfect New World. At that time, she knew that there might be some close connection between the two and this game. Now that this relationship has been confirmed to a certain extent, it is not good news.
"The system took such a big risk and sent us here, or sent you and Chairman Yi here. It should not be just to complete a mission, right?"
Although the description of this mission was incredible, President Hongfen still felt that it was inappropriate for the other party to go to such lengths. At this point, she suddenly realized something and looked at the eldest lady fiercely, "I remember you said before that the owner of the travel agency, Wugui, can freely enter and exit different copies, or games. If the mark of the evil god is covered, does that mean it can also leave this copy?"
Nan Huan was not surprised that she asked this question. On the contrary, he admired her for getting to the point so quickly. "Based on my previous personal experience, the evil god has appeared in the Shuimu Private High School dungeon. It was just that it was still very weak at that time, and the mark of the evil god had not yet been born. But now its power is increasing. I don't know how powerful it will be when the mark completely covers the thorn bush, but I can be sure that by then most of the players will become like the people in this world, forever trapped in a world formed by a black thorn."
"So the system has gone to such great lengths not to allow us to pass this mission, but to hope that the success of this mission will have some impact on the other party."
The workers' guild president quickly caught up with the idea, so they were not simply here to complete the mission, but to save the system and so many players?
The eldest lady nodded. "This is the most reasonable guess at the moment, and I am more inclined to this."
"I don't mean to pour cold water on you," President Alice took a deep breath and gave everyone a heads-up before speaking. "To be honest, after hearing everything Miss has just described, I think the people of Bailan City deserve what they are going through now."
She curled her lips in disdain, with a difficult expression on her face, "Although I am also a human, I have never hated my identity as much as I do now. The Dragon God and the Saint have been through so much, but they still couldn't do it. How can we make them believe in the dragon race again?"
How is it possible? President Alice swallowed these words directly. She actually wanted to complain even more harshly.
"No matter how difficult it is, we have to give it a try. The system has given us this opportunity, which means that if we succeed, it will definitely have an impact on the other party."
Nan Huan was unable to answer the question raised by President Alice, but she still wanted to give it a try. This was no longer a question of whether they could get out of this copy alive, but a question of the foundation of the entire game and whether other players could continue to survive.
"I'll definitely try it. After all, I haven't fought such a powerful boss yet."
President Alice's emotions came and went quickly, and she soon cheered up.
"I'm glad that you chose me and didn't let me be kept in the dark. Knowing that I still have a chance to fight for myself and stand up for the people I care about is much better than disappearing in the bush without knowing anything."
The president of the Workers’ Union also expressed his opinion.
"I don't need to say more, right? From the moment I saw your strength, I decided to cling to you, my golden thigh."
The pink president's witty remarks made the atmosphere a little more relaxed.
President Barbie shook her injured hand and said, "Me too. After all, I have never seen such a grand scene before. I am looking forward to it."
"Okay, we've talked enough. We need to quickly understand what the White Lan City in front of us looks like. Although from my observation just now, the layout is no different from the real White Lan City, there is one place that I have always been very concerned about."
Bei Xi looked around the surrounding environment, and when he came back, everyone had just finished their conversation.
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's attention shifted to the heavy rain outside that was almost silent.
