Volume 12: Cafe Heroes Chapter 31 Empty Cicada (Part 2)
The people of Kongchan are more or less arrogant towards other players - except for the terrifying first player who completely turned the pages of the book and made the race disappear, they are a little afraid of the rest of the players. Or they think that the other players are a bunch of garbage.
Why do they say that? Because they believe that they are the ones who opened the real update, and they are the ones who pushed forward the historical process of the players. They found the ancient city that had been sealed for a long time in hell, and found the secret realm left over from the catastrophe of that year, and found the key to demon research there. Just as they pushed open the sealed door, the system prompt sounded as expected, and then the rising portal also told them the truth.
They believed that they had created the history of players, and even their presence was in the promotional videos, which meant that they had completely entered the eyes of the system and even occupied a major position. Then the voice hidden behind the scenes must be the NPC of the Holy Light Faction. As the strong players who truly opened the era, it was natural for them to have a little confidence. And this time they also came to this planet for the mission issued by the Demon Faction, just to spread panic and make the entire Holy Light Faction fall into chaos and collapse.
Although it looks like a scrap and not cool at all, this is the first step for players to get involved in the inner circle of the forces, and it is a big event worth commemorating. So they have to complete this task no matter what. But obviously, they are now being chased by the other side.
"It's good to move quickly, but it's stupid to act without knowing the strength of the enemy... If I were you, I'd listen to what I say first."
A pale white light flashed by, and countless suppressed symbols instantly appeared, causing the players' movements to pause for a moment.
"The advanced use of magic is very simple and convenient. Perhaps you should give it a try. But listen to me first. You are doing the demon faction mission, right? You are all players, so please be kind to each other. I want to complete my own faction mission. If the Holy Light faction does not complete the mission, the loss will be great. It doesn't matter whether you complete it or not. I will give you some good knowledge. What do you think?"
Looking at the players in front of him, Li Lin smiled gently as he sat on the chair. He quietly spread out dozens of beautifully bound books with a strong magical atmosphere, looking very sincere.
In fact, Li Lin is indeed full of sincerity. Instead of fighting with the players to the death, it is better to just give them some money and let them pass the level as soon as possible.
The players were able to take out a lot of strange things, from the residual souls of gods to the bodies of gods, to the seaweed balls of feces, anything could be taken out from their space. So when Li Lin saw the players entering the space, his first reaction was to subdue them first, and then negotiate a deal calmly. Anyway, neither side was a person who would fight to the death, and to put it bluntly, this was just a game mode of faction confrontation, so why bother? It would be better to make both sides happy, give some benefits directly, and then each take some good things home.
"I know you all want to complete missions to get some rewards, but to be honest, the bulk of the rewards from the demons are actually for plundering. Only the plundering during the mission is the basis of the reward, and the rest are just empty promises. But it's different here. As long as you tell me what the demons' arrangements are, I can get you any advanced magic knowledge, gold or other treasures are also at your fingertips. What do you think?"
"What am I watching? Your performance?"
However, what surprised Li Lin was that the person on the other side spat at him very stubbornly, with a defiant look on his face.
"They are from the same demon faction but they use the name of Holy Light. Have the NPCs become so shameless? Do you think I can't recognize the sunken space? That is clearly the original demon setting up a barrier around it. We are in the same faction. Don't try to deceive your teammates."
"Well, although this thing looks like a demon, and I also think it is a demon, it is indeed the materialized image of Holy Light..." Li Lin took a look at the mouth of the monster full of sharp teeth and mouthparts evolved from the magic behind him, swallowed his saliva, and wisely changed the subject: "And who told you that I'm an NPC? I'm a real player. Didn't you figure it out from the conversation just now?"
"...Heh, do you think I don't know that NPCs are now pretending to be players?"
The leading player looked angry and sad.
"Now, you NPCs are more cunning than each other. After knowing the characteristics of us players, you take advantage of our defenseless mentality to start malicious fraud. If you say you are a player, why don't you log off the line on the spot and show us? Don't say that you have a difficult game warehouse and then steal our warehouse."
"Well, actually, there is nothing wrong with going offline. But can you guarantee that you will not kill my defenseless body after I go offline? Or will you not use various means to escape when I go offline? As a player of the Holy Light system, this is the first time I have encountered a demon system. It is very difficult to find you. Otherwise, can we contact each other? Or I can make a , what do you think?"
"Okay, tell me your number first and I'll add you as my friend."
" Well, I hate adding friends..."
"As expected, you are the spy sent by the devil! Damn, we are all your own people, why would you betray us like this? We players have shed blood and tears for Hell, do you really have to kill us all?!"
“…”
Oh my god, how badly have these people been cheated? This kind of thing has never happened in the Holy Light Department.
Looking at those players with angry faces, Li Lin felt that these people might have suffered from some kind of post-traumatic stress syndrome. But to be honest, it didn't matter if they logged off. After all, Sally was here, so it was no problem to take care of her. After releasing the magic restraint, Li Lin showed an elegant smile.
"Then I will go offline to prove my identity—"
"Prove it, you big-headed ghost! Go to hell!"
However, before Li Lin could express his attitude, the player who found that he could move showed a sinister smile and directly pulled out a prop from the player space and threw it over.
