Why did you suddenly decide to ask about that place?
"Because...because...because there, you can't see anything now."
The voices of the tens of thousands of sows were somewhat low, which surprised Jiang Hao.
"What's the meaning?"
"It's...it's within a 50-kilometer radius of that cave that all living things...were wiped out! The earth caved in, and that area has now completely turned into a large lake."
Jiang Hao heard the sadness in the cries of tens of thousands of sows. He felt a little disdainful; it was just a scene from a game, was it really necessary to be so sentimental?
But it was difficult to say anything to him about this, so he could only remain silent.
"The Lingxu Administration is prosecuting the Gnoll Empire for three major crimes: invading uncivilized territories, wantonly slaughtering the natives of uncivilized territories, and wantonly annihilating Gnoll Empire soldiers."
Holy crap, this game is amazing. It's just acting, but they're doing the whole thing?
As if in response to Jiang Hao's disbelief, the tens of thousands of sows added another sentence.
"However, due to the lack of sufficiently strong witnesses, and the fact that the scene and all the evidence had been severely damaged, it would be difficult for the prosecution to achieve a satisfactory result based solely on a letter from Archmage Oron."
"However, the fact that the Archmage slaughtered soldiers of the Gnoll Empire has already caused a huge uproar in the Gnoll Empire, enough to give him a headache for a while."
These words sounded like thousands of sows cheering themselves on, but to Jiang Hao, they were more like a bit of spiritual comfort in his dejection.
Why is this guy so dramatic?
"Oh right, didn't you get the Seed of Immortality? What are its effects?"
"What the hell do you want?"
Jiang Hao suddenly stopped and looked at the tens of thousands of sows with a wary expression.
"Hey, don't be so wary. Once a living being touches the Seed of Immortality, it's bound to their soul. I can't steal it even if I wanted to."
"Really?"
"It should be true, right? My teacher looked through the files about the Immortal Heart and deduced it, so it should be correct! Tell me quickly, what are the effects of the Immortal Heart Seed?"
Only now did Jiang Hao have time to search for the Heart of Immortality. He searched his body and backpack thoroughly, but found not a trace. He opened his personal attribute panel, but there wasn't a single word about the Heart of Immortality. The tens of thousands of sows beside him seemed to be deep in thought.
"Since the Seed of Immortality is bound to the soul, why don't you check your talent section to see if there have been any changes?"
Jiang Hao followed the instructions and clicked on his talents. Sure enough, a new talent appeared under [Dizzying Mercy]. Jiang Hao quickly took a closer look, and once he did, he couldn't take his eyes off it.
The Immortal Heart
Talent Level: SSSS
Permanently increases all attributes by 1 point and grants immunity to all control effects.
Characteristic: This talent is at the highest level and grants 100% immunity to any control effects.
All the added attributes are equal to divinity, cannot be stolen, cannot be taken away, and cannot be dispelled.
Growth: For each target of level 20 or higher that is killed, permanently increase all attributes by 1 point.
Note: The Immortal Heart effect is bound to the host's soul. When the host's soul dissipates, the Immortal Heart will be dropped.
Oh no!
Is there any control over immunity?
This is definitely a god-tier skill for flag-planting and PvP!
Do I gain one point of all attributes for killing a monster?
I can kill all the monsters in the game!
It would be utterly outrageous to give up on this game just because of a God-Slaying Curse!
A 4S-level talent with growth potential is just so irresistible.
That year I was eighteen. At my alma mater's dance, I stood there like a nobody. From that moment on, with tears in my eyes, I vowed that everyone must see me!
In an instant, Jiang Hao's face, which had been filled with regret, broke into a radiant smile.
"Found it? What are the effects? Tell me about them."
"It's... immunity to all control, and..."
The eyes of tens of thousands of sows widened instantly.
"What else? What else? Tell me, tell me quickly!"
Tens of thousands of sows immediately grabbed Jiang Hao's arm, like a child begging for candy from an adult, eagerly shaking his arm.
"you guess!"
Jiang Hao gave a wicked smile.
"I bet you're kidding me! Tell me, tell me now!"
The shaking of the tens of thousands of sows became even more violent. Jiang Hao, annoyed by the shaking, shook off his hand.
"Ugh, aren't you annoying? Aren't you the game administrator? Why don't you check it yourself!"
"Who said game administrators can see players' talents?"
"Can't we?"
Jiang Hao asked suspiciously.
"Tch, we are the Lingxu Administration Bureau, not data robbers!"
Jiang Hao felt that he might have encountered a fake game administrator.
"Do you think Lingxu is like other games, where game administrators can freely view player information and punish players for cheating, such as banning them from logging in for a certain number of days or deleting their game accounts?"
Isn't that so?
Tens of thousands of sows then spoke solemnly.
"First of all, let me state that there will be no bugs within the Spirit Ruins! Secondly, there is absolutely no possibility for players to cheat! Finally, no game administrator, not even the Spirit Ruins Administration Bureau, can punish any player without cause unless they have violated the laws of the Spirit Ruins. No one has the authority or means to view a player's personal information!"
Holy crap, here he is again. It's just a game, but he's talking about it so formally, and it's even against the law? Anyone who didn't know better would think this was the real world!
At the same time, Jiang Hao also realized that apart from the data information that his detection technique could see, all other information about him was kept secret. This included his talent.
"Oh, right, I just remembered something. Since you can't use your skills right now, can you beat the animals in the arena? Don't accidentally get scratched to death by one of them."
Seeing the gloating faces of the tens of thousands of sows, Jiang Hao took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the urge to hit them.
"We can't beat them!"
"Oh no, what should we do?"
"Wait to die!"
"Hey, I'm serious, the Tiger King in the arena is a real bronze-level world boss."
"World boss?"
"yes."
"Can it drop special items?"
Of course.
"Excuse me, farewell!"
Jiang Hao turned to leave, but his arm was immediately grabbed by tens of thousands of sows.
"No way! If we don't kill it, we can't go to Jinling City, and if we don't go to Jinling City, we can't earn gold coins!"
Jiang Hao broke free from his hand and said with a hint of grievance on his face.
"Why do you think I'm like this now? Do you think I can still take on special missions? Dude, if you're going to scam someone, can't you at least pick someone else instead of just one person? You can't just pick someone else!"
"No, it's a misunderstanding, a real misunderstanding this time. Killing the Tiger King will drop a token, and you can go to Jinling City with the token."
"This task is just running errands, there's no danger, trust me!"
Jiang Hao spoke with suspicion.
Are you sure?
"Lingxu Administration Principle 2: Never lie to players."
"You idiot! This is clearly principle number 1, something you said yourself before!"
"It's been changed, just now..."
"You changed it?"
"Oh, don't worry about the details."
"Get out of here!"
"Okay, okay..."
Seeing Jiang Hao on the verge of exploding, the thousands of sows wisely shut their mouths. The two walked one after the other along the main road, flanked by vast grasslands. High-level monsters with red health bars above their heads only wandered back and forth in the distance, not approaching the road. Jiang Hao could safely enjoy the expansive scenery of the grasslands. In the distance, Jiang Hao vaguely saw many players approaching from the other side of the road; they looked somewhat dejected. Only when they drew closer did Jiang Hao hear their conversation.
"Damn it, where is this Lord of Hell? If I ever find him, I'm going to skin him alive."
