Chapter 432: The Land Forsaken by God (21) (1st + 2nd update) [VIP]
[How do you know my teacher and his wife are very loving?] and [Happy 523rd wedding anniversary to my teacher and his wife] look like a pair of siblings.
No doubt!
Because there is no other pair of parents who would give their child such a crazy name.
The teller lady, who was called by her colleague to ask if she wanted to change her information, looked at the two lists with a serious expression, then looked at the two strangely dressed adventurers in front of her, and slowly handed over the list.
"Are you really alright, Sister Mary? I saw that his last registered name was Enoch, and his registered occupation was an alchemist," the teller who called her over said in a trembling voice, "We don't need to ask this lady [Happy 523rd Wedding Anniversary to Teacher and Sister-in-law], who is now biologically male but actually mentally identifies as female, whether she needs legal assistance?"
"No need to ask," the teller shook her head heavily, "They look like brother and sister at first glance."
At first glance, they are a pair of unlucky apprentices who were also persecuted by the necromancer!
She has been through so much!
She is also an unlucky teller who has been persecuted by the necromancer several times!
First, the Adventurer's Guild member list was "robbed" by this group of people, and then the simple small town youth formerly named "Hector" applied to change his name to Princess Disney. Now it's not surprising that there is a younger sister.
Respect! Blessings! If this is the custom of your Mage Tower!
"Thank you," Hector smiled brightly, "You are such a discerning lady. You can tell at a glance that my sister and I are related by blood."
After receiving his new registration information, Master Enoch, who had lost his name, whimpered in humiliation and closed his eyes.
Between becoming Hector's sister and being killed by this group of outlaws, he chose to save his life.
"By the way, you want to give scores, right?" Hector was in a good mood and remembered the fixed steps that had to be carried out after each service.
"Yes, please rate our service..." The teller standing behind the original counter didn't know what he was about to face.
"Wait," she hadn't finished her words when the persecuted teller Mary suddenly added at a very fast speed, "Our full score is ten stars!"
"Ah," Hector paused and exclaimed. "Isn't it five stars?"
Mary, the teller: “No.”
You adventurers who always give her five stars, can you please read the instructions next to the rating system?

at the same time.
Outside the city of Besser, a login light flashed, and [Grudge is heavier than ghosts] and [I am Dorothea's dog], together with a person with the ID [Pure and Wild Female Cockroach], appeared on the roadside.
"I'm serious," [Grudge is heavier than a ghost] stressed, "I suspect the n.pc in this game has become a spirit. If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Wang. After his sub-account's bound items were taken away by the n.pc, he could no longer enter the main city. It was a bug of an infinite loop."
"Well," [I am Dorothea's Dog] nodded, "If you don't believe me, I'll go into the city and show you."
"Remember to turn on the screen recording." [Grudge Heavier than Ghosts] warned.
"It's open, it's open." Wang Wenhua nodded in confirmation as he controlled the trumpet forward.
Today is Saturday, and his original plan was to sleep in, then curl up in bed to catch up on the anime he had been following, finish his daily mobile game tasks in the evening, draw from the new card pool, and team up with friends to brush up on upgrade materials.
Unexpectedly, just after getting up and before he had time to turn on his tablet, he saw on the social software that a friend with the ID remark "Coriander Cult" kept sending him messages, asking him if he could use a small account to reproduce the situation of not being able to enter the main city for him. He suspected that the n.pc in this holographic game might be alive, and now he has contacted a friend who is a self-media person to expose this matter.
Wang Wenhua’s first reaction was “Huh?”
[Isn't today April Fool's Day?] He checked the date and replied cautiously, [Coriander, you didn't play Truth or Dare, did you?]
How come the game came alive?
Unexpectedly, the [Coriander Cult] on the opposite side was so persistent: [Really, those n.pcs you told me would trigger the favor, don’t you think they are too intelligent, don’t you think this world has become too real since we came back? ]
The other party listed for him a lot of differences between the previous "Breath of Slenkmed" and the current "Breath of Slenkmed".
Wang Wenhua thought about it and replied weakly: [I really don’t think so…]
His memories of Breath of Slenkmed were all from many years ago, and after he came back to play the game again with a small account, his inner feelings were mostly lamenting that time flies by, and he didn't pay any attention to the changes in the game at all.
Besides, he is different from the office slaves who are too busy to rest. He is a typical nine-to-five otaku who has a lot of time to play games, even after work. He even has dozens of games in his holographic helmet. With the current technology, it is no longer a rare thing to switch maps seamlessly and make the whole world look like the real world.
In his opinion, all holographic games on the market are like this, and Breath of Slenkmed is no exception.
But [Coriander Cult] insisted: [I'm not kidding you, I really think this game is a little too real. I contacted a self-media friend I met at work, you can come in and demonstrate this process for him to see. If there is really a problem with the game "Slenkmed", then we will be the first to discover it. If there is no problem, then just consider it as a self-media push for my friend, doing him a favor.]
[By the way,] he added, [I changed my name from Coriander God Cult to Grievances Are Heavier Than Ghosts. This is also very strange. One NPC seemed to hate the previous name, so other NPCs even traded diamonds directly from the game to buy me a name change card. I remember that Lao Zhang said that the only way to get diamonds was to top up in the mall.]
Coriander God Cult: [So you see, this game is not normal, how can there be NPCs giving diamonds to players? ]
Wang Wenhua: [Okay, wait a moment and I’ll be online.]
Although he felt a little puzzled, the other party had already said this, and there was really no loss for him to demonstrate it again. Wang Wenhua thought about it, got up from the bed, picked up the holographic helmet and logged into the game.
Breath of Slenkmed was the first holographic game that swept the world that year. Basically, anyone who knew how to play games at the time bought a holographic helmet and created an email account.
The self-media friend who was brought here is called [Pure Wild Female Cockroach]. She is an explosive player who is dressed in dark brown armor and has two whisker crowns from an ancient style suit on her head.
"Don't worry about it," the other person waved his hand and said casually, "When I first played this game, I had a chuunibyou attack and liked to wear some weird and strange costumes."
Wang Wenhua, who had been using a very embarrassing ID and was embarrassed to see his friends, felt relieved.
Compared to a giant cockroach, my nickname seems so normal.
"I just need to show you the animation of not being able to enter the main city, and then I'll send you the screen recording, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes," the [Pure and Wild Female Cockroach] nodded, and the tentacles on her head moved along with it, "Thank you for your help. By the way, where is the N.P.C. you mentioned? I want to see him, too."
"I'll take you there later..." [Grudge is heavier than a ghost] said cautiously, "Xiao Chun, can your account really post this kind of content? I remember you are in the financial section..."
"Sure," the [Pure and Wild Cockroach] whose real name is Xiao Chun nodded readily, "Let me tell you, it doesn't matter if there's no traffic or not, it's all in vain. Our company hasn't released any hit products in more than half a year, let alone this. If it can get the account to increase the volume, our boss is willing to release cockroaches. If your news is true, I'll take the bonus and treat you to a meal if you release a hit product."
[Grudge is heavier than ghosts] He held his forehead with his hand: "Thank you. When I first came to you, I was afraid that you would think I was crazy..."
After all, anyone who says that the n.pc in an outdated game he plays is alive and demands media exposure sounds like a drug that cannot be stopped.
[Innocent Wild Female Cockroach] "I did have some doubts about that..."
But if I don’t write something, the company will really die!
Not to mention writing about this, she would be able to accept writing about cockroaches!!!
[Innocent and Wild Female Cockroach] entered work mode in one second: "In fact, the topic of whether the world in the holographic game is the real world has always been very popular on the Internet. If it can be confirmed that the n.pc of a certain game has done something beyond the code, it will be big news. It can spread to the Omnic Crisis, and then develop to the n.pc trying to control the holographic players, and finally it can also take advantage of the popularity of conspiracy theories such as AI ruling the world and our world is a huge holographic game..."
As a financial account, taking this as the entry point and then analyzing the relevant development directions and stock price fluctuations of various holographic companies can be considered a borderline.
Xiao Chun was about to continue talking when he suddenly realized that he was still in the game, so he quickly stopped and changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this. By the way, what are the names of those NPCs you mentioned? What do they look like? Describe them to me first."
The n.pc in the holographic game is alive. Although this topic is crazy, it can still be expanded if you want to, such as the crisis of artificial intelligence and AI ruling the world. In short, just attract enough attention first.
"One is a necromancer wearing a black wizard robe, with half of his body being a normal one and the other being a skeleton. His name is Delmis," [Heavier Resentment Than Ghosts] described. "The one next to him, with long hair about waist-length, 150k white hair dyed with dazzling purple, and wearing a cake skirt, is his apprentice Hector, but now he has changed his name to [How Do You Know My Teacher and His Wife Are So Loving]..."
As he recalled, he felt that the explosiveness of this group of npcs was no less than that of the players. If this was really a program set by the manufacturer rather than a few real people, then he would really doubt the programmer's mental state.
Before he could finish, the [Pure and Wild Female Cockroach] beside him suddenly pointed to the distance.
"Hey, are you talking about those people?"
Not far away, at the gate of Besser City, Bai Jinshu and his teammates were preparing to leave.
Just as everyone was coming out of the fire in Besser City, Guan Hongyan was sharp-eyed and recognized a familiar figure at a glance: "That dog!"
"Where is the dog?" Lu Changfeng looked around.
Isn't this the wilderness of Besser City? There are only rabbits and squirrels here, but no dogs.
"That player, Dorothea's dog," Guan Hongyan waved at the player in the distance, "Why are you still at the gate of Besser City? Is that noble still chasing you?"
So many days have passed, why is this player still talking to the guards at the gate of Besser City?
Wang Wenhua had just finished talking to the guard and recording the video of the conversation. Before he had time to press the end recording button, he heard a familiar voice. He looked up and saw that it was indeed the group of NPCs from before.
"You took my coat of arms last time," he said after a moment of silence, "so I can't enter the city of Besser."
"Ah... I'm sorry?" Zhao Yinglai blinked, "You didn't wait for us at the gate of Besser for five or six days, did you?"
It was many days ago that they entered the city.
After she said this, she suddenly realized that this person was a player. It should be impossible for him to wait here for five or six days. He probably went offline after discovering the bug.
"Wait a minute, I want one from you, Dermis," she waved her hand and turned to look at Bai Jinshu, "Dermis, can you make another emblem?"
Bai Jinshu responded casually, took the emblem from Huai Jiamu, copied it, and threw it back to them: "Okay."
"Here you go, Hu Yisi." Zhao Yinglai put the emblem into [I am Dorothea's Dog]'s hand, "Then you can enter the city now, right?"
Wang Wenhua: "I...I'll try?"
It should be possible. He looked over and over the attribute column of this emblem. Each attribute was no different from the previous one. The only difference was that there was a very simple name marked on the last line of the attribute column: [Dermis].
This is a sign of production of an item, indicating that the item was made by the owner of this name.
He tried to talk to the guard again, and as expected, the guard let him in directly, as if he didn't realize that he was the person who was unable to enter the city of Besser a few minutes ago.
Wang Wenhua went out with the emblem and saw those NPCs still waiting at the door.
"Any other questions?" White Moth asked kindly, "If not, we'll leave?"
They had originally planned to leave Besser City. If they hadn't discovered that someone was following them and hadn't wanted to register the beardless wizard Enoch as Hector's sister, they would probably have been on the ghost ship by now.
"There's nothing wrong with the emblem," Wang Wenhua put away the emblem, and remembered that he came here because the [Coriander Cult] said that these NPCs were alive. He couldn't help but take a few more glances and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Let's go to a place where magic materials are mined," White Moth said casually. "Hector, what's the name of that place?"
They couldn't remember what it was called, but Enoch the Beardless Wizard knew.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask my sister." Hector replied.
Then Wang Wenhua was shocked to see Hector dragging out from behind him a young man who was dressed more gorgeously than him and also had long purple hair... uh, a young man?
Even though he's wearing a skirt and has long hair, and his face is filled with despair that says "You might as well just kill me," this is definitely a man, right?
You are a man too!
Why are you two wearing skirts? You seemed normal when I saw you a few days ago.
He originally didn't believe what the Coriander Cult said, but now it seems to make sense...
Wang Wenhua's cerebellum shrank for a moment.
"Is this your sister?" he blurted out.
"Yeah," Hector suddenly had a very bright smile on his face, "Don't we look like siblings?"
"Uh... maybe, I think so," Wang Wenhua answered with difficulty, "but... um... why does he dress like this?"
"Of course, because he likes it," Hector smiled brightly, "right, wishing the teacher and his wife a happy 523rd wedding anniversary?"
Wang Wenhua:?
What went through your mouth?
Enoch pulled up her skirt painfully to cover her face, her voice filled with a deliberate shrillness: "Yes, yes, yes."
"My sister is a transgender adventurer whose biological sex is male but whose psychological identity is female," Hector introduced enthusiastically, "I hope you don't discriminate against her!"
Wang Wenhua: …
Today's n.pc is really ahead of its time.
He was silent for a while, and decided to return to the original question: "So... where are you going?"
"Perrin Heights..." Enoch's voice was vague, "Do you have any more questions? We're leaving without you!"
He doesn't want to see anyone at all now.
Wang Wenhua nodded.
Before Enoch could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Hector's voice in surprise: "Ah, I saw my senior brother!"
He waved enthusiastically towards the distant [Grudge Heavier Than Ghost]: "Brother! Let me introduce you to my sister!"
【The resentment is heavier than ghosts】:?
"This is my senior brother, his grudges are heavier than those of a ghost," Hector said enthusiastically. "Senior brother, this is my sister, she is also an adventurer in Besai City, her name is [Happy 523rd Wedding Anniversary to Teacher and Wife]!"
Enoch: ...
He felt that the name opposite was more appropriate for him.
His resentment now is heavier than that of a ghost!
"Your...sister?" [The Resentment Is Heavier Than a Ghost] also looked in front of him in shock.
"Yes," Hector repeated the words cheerfully, "My sister is a transgender adventurer whose biological gender is male but whose psychological identity is female."
"Very, very good..." [The resentment is heavier than the ghost] The cerebellum has atrophied.
"Is this the n.pc you mentioned?" [Pure and Wild Female Cockroach] came over and whispered.
"Yes..." [The resentment is heavier than the ghost] answered weakly.
"I think..." [Pure Love Wild Cockroach] was silent for a few seconds, "This can't really be considered a conspiracy theory, right?"
This is unlikely to spread from taking away the player's bound items to the n.pc trying to control the holographic player, and then to the security issues of the holographic game, and finally to the dangerous level of artificial intelligence created by humans today.
After all, what everyone wants to see is the conspiracy theory that cool AI rules the world, and speculates that the artificial intelligence that is everywhere around them will one day destroy human civilization, rather than cool AI claiming that they are trans-life creatures whose biological sex is silicon-based life, but whose psychological cognition is carbon-based life female, and speculating that they may become carbon-based life male psychologically the next day.
I heard that our neighboring country already has 97 genders. If silicon-based creatures are mixed in, this number may have to be multiplied by 4.
[Pure and Wild Female Cockroach] shuddered silently, thinking that it would be better if this kind of future did not come.
"What should we do then..." [Resentment is Heavier than Ghosts] asked subconsciously.
"But I have a new topic," [Pure Wild Cockroach] thought for a moment, "Can I go on an adventure with you? I'm a bard, and I want to write a bardic epic based on your adventures!"
For example, a self-media topic like "I entered an outdated holographic game and observed what the n.pcs were doing in the absence of players on a 28-day cycle."
Never mind whether it’s finance or not. If she doesn’t produce some results, she will be out of work tomorrow.
"Of course you can," Hector invited warmly, "Brother, do you want to go on an adventure with us?"
"Can we go?" [Grudge is heavier than a ghost] asked subconsciously, "Teacher... Where..."
"No problem," Hector smiled brightly, "This is your first time meeting my sister, right? You can still get acquainted with each other on the way."
A few minutes later, the group boarded the ghost ship and flew towards the origin of the magic sand.
Bai Jinshu was sitting by the window, and saw several girls enthusiastically asking the real player [Grudges Are Heavier Than Ghosts] whether he wanted to wear women's clothes, but was rejected by the other party in a daze.
The unlucky wizard Enoch, who had no right to refuse, was huddled at the edge of the ghost ship, trying to make everyone think he was a gorgeous mushroom at the corner of the wall.
The ghost captain patted his shoulder, and his blue-green palm passed through his shoulder: "Brother, stop talking, I understand you."
Isn't it just that he is being persecuted by Thermis? He has been persecuted for hundreds of years, and there will be hundreds more years to come.
Compared to this endless part-time job, wearing women's clothes is really no big deal.
Enoch: "No, you don't understand. I have lost all my sense of shame as a mage... There are countless suppliers who I have interacted with in the place I am going to..."
He now felt that death was not so scary after all. At least between physical death and social death, the scale in his heart tilted towards physical death for the first time.
"No, I understand you," the ghost captain said solemnly, "but you have to know that Delmis is a necromancer. You can't escape even if you die, and you will sell the next few hundred years to him. Brother, you have to know that as long as you are alive, there is still hope. As long as you can endure the humiliation and wait until he leaves here, when you return to your shop, no one will know that you have such a terrible past!"
"You're right," the beardless wizard Enoch suddenly ignited a light of hope, "Then I can stick on a white beard again..."
The ghost captain said excitedly: "Put on the disguise of an old man again..."
Enoch is hopeful: "No one will know who I am..."
The ghost captain emphasized loudly: "You will start a brand new life..."
"Brother, and this bard lady who is going to write an epic poem," Hector said with a bright smile not far away, "I will tell you a secret, you can't tell anyone else."
[Pure and Wild Female Cockroach]: "What's the secret?"
"Actually, my sister is a weapon merchant in Besai City," Hector mercilessly took out the old file of the Adventurer's Guild in his hand, "Look, this is his old file and name."
"Miss Pure and Wild Cockroach," he looked at Xiao Chun with pure eyes, "You are definitely not going to write this story into the bardic epic, are you? You are definitely not going to sing the legend of a transgender adventurer saving the world, are you?"
[Pure and Wild Female Cockroach] Pious: "I won't."
She would just write these down in her account to save her precarious self-media company.
In order to save the company that is about to go bankrupt, the n.pc in the game decides to debut... No, he decides to dress up as a woman!
Bai Jin, who had a clear view of everything that happened on the ship from a distance, said: …
“When did Hector become like this…” He looked at Huai Jiamu silently.
He vaguely remembered that this kid was just a simple small town youth at first?
Now who is this sinister female wizard behind the scenes?
Huai Jiamu immediately passed the buck: "Someone else taught me."
It definitely isn’t Bai Jinshu’s fault for aiding and abetting the evil.
Bai Jinshu nodded and said, "It must have been someone else who taught me."
It wasn't him who asked Hector to wear women's clothes, so what does this have to do with him? It must be Guan Hongyan and the others' fault for forcing Hector to wear women's clothes.
I always feel that along with Hector's integrity, his kindness and morality also shattered away...
This kid is now so sinister that he is about to ooze black water.
The author has something to say:
Hector's current situation is that expression pack: [Shut up, my teacher is a necromancer. If you dare not listen to him, I will make you walk on the street wearing women's clothes.jpg]
