Chapter 775 Cursing the Divine Skills and Meeting Moss Again

At 5 a.m., Da Chun was awakened by a system notification from his main account.

But let's take a look at the smaller version first.

The little guy was panting heavily, pink smoke filled the air, and the water in the entire bath was boiling!

That night... well, it was standard procedure, just pretty time-consuming. A professional gamer who values ​​every second probably couldn't tolerate it. But the higher the skill level of the game, the more erotic it becomes—maybe it's specifically designed to ensnare professional players, making them addicted and unstable in their moral compass?

Switch to the larger size.

—System notification: Congratulations! Your Dream Forest Divine Realm restoration progress has reached 100%, and you have developed a new Divine Realm skill: Cursed Raven, Disgusting Raven Eyes.

Cursing Raven: Absorbs curses and converts them into mental attack skills. When cursing a target, there is a very high chance that the target will go berserk and lose control, locking onto you to attack. Note: The more curses absorbed, the stronger the effect. Ineffective against non-intelligent creatures.

Dislike Raven Eyes: Passive skill, allows you to see the people you dislike.

……

Da Chun, still half-asleep, was completely bewildered!

My divine realm has been revived? These are the two skills I gained from reviving my divine realm?
Holy crap! Does this "cursing raven" mean it insults people to draw hatred and make them attack me? This... seems familiar. Isn't this the Blasphemer? Except the Blasphemer only seems to be effective against evil gods.

So, because I had a foundation laid by a blasphemer, I came to understand this?
What's the deal with this aversion to raven eyes?
Da Chun subconsciously glanced at the four young ladies in front of him who were boasting and advertising, and suddenly realized that the words "disliked" were displayed above their heads!
This? Possessing the boring skill of "knowing people well"?
However, I must say that the progress of my divine realm's revival is indeed quite fast. Maybe it's because those few are also annoying and have attracted a lot of hatred for me? So, I have to specifically find these annoying people to accompany me and let them attract hatred and increase my dark reputation for me?

Eileen said, "My dear, you're here. While you were resting, we visited four more cities. Now the young ladies are tired too. After we finish this tour, we'll find a hotel, have dinner, and then rest and go to sleep."

Sleeping? Ah, right, NPCs do have normal sleep schedules, right? But this is a problem, I just woke up, so I can only continue patrolling the streets alone to gain reputation?

Eileen added, "There's a man in a trench coat and top hat in the crowd about a hundred meters behind us. He's been following us ever since we had lunch in Saint Martin. He's followed us through five cities!"

Da Chun's heart tightened. The Ten Elders? They're using all sorts of tricks to follow him?
Seriously, Ten Lao has been following me all day and has seen me act arrogantly all day. With Ten Lao's temper, can he tolerate this? Isn't it the best time to make a move while I'm sleeping in a hotel?
Da Chun felt he couldn't avoid it. Rather than accidentally killing innocent people in the hotel, he might as well go outside the city to find an open space and confront the Ten Elders! But what if the Ten Elders were not martial arts righteous and took advantage of his departure from the city to rush into the hotel and kill the four young ladies to vent his anger, or capture them as hostages to disgust him? That was not impossible.

Or is it that you just want to meet him at the hotel, no matter what?
Now that we have this "curse" skill, we can draw full aggro whenever we encounter an enemy and try to drag the fight out of the city for the final battle.
As they were lost in thought, they arrived at the luxury hotel. With the help of the doorman, the four ladies entered, looking both tired and happy.

They also made quite a show of themselves, sitting in the most luxurious and prominent positions in the banquet hall.

Eileen said in a deep voice, "That man came in too!"

Holy crap! It's not even dark yet, and everyone's still awake. Are they going to make a move now?
Libnashi also quietly reminded her, "The spatial fluctuations are entering through the window."

The All-Seeing Eye has entered too, hasn't it?

Da Chun was conflicted. Should he remind these young ladies? But what would be the point? They had no fighting ability... Reminding them would only scare them and dampen their annoyingly arrogant temperament.

Just then, the waiter came over with trays and distributed cutlery such as knives, forks, and napkins. Da Chun was very nervous; after all, knives and forks could be used as assassination weapons!

The waiter came to Dachun's side, but handed him a folded piece of paper and then turned and left!

—System notification: You have received a letter from a hotel staff member.

Holy crap? A challenge from the Ten Elders?
Da Chun raised his hand to check:

"—Long time no see. I've followed you back to the Empire to assist you in apprehending the Dark Sage. I also learned you had business in Red Sand City this morning. My investigation reveals that these border cities are dedicated to exploring the ruins of the Holy Emerald City, buried in the desert a thousand years ago. If you can make a quick discovery, your business will flourish; otherwise, they'll prepare to join forces against you. You don't have much free time, so I suggest you give up. If you're interested, you can go to the Blood Sand City Adventurers' Guild, where you can teleport directly to the ruins camp. I will follow you there."

……

Da Chun was stunned. That tone, that behavior... Holy crap! It's Moss!

Eileen had never met Moss, who had become an imperial spy after a hundred years of time travel, so she didn't recognize that the person in the trench coat and top hat who had followed her through several cities was actually Moss!
The City of the Emeralds, right?

Da Chun immediately opened the phone Zhou Qing had given him, searched for city map guides, and looked up Holy Emerald City. There it was! The previous version of the Jewel City, even a map of the city's sewers!

So the goal of these border cities exploring these ruins is nothing more than treasure hunting, finding a vault or something like that, right? And I have the earth vein perception taught by the Earth Mother, the vine magic that allows me to burrow underground, and the profession of a great explorer, so who else could do this!

I'm so interested, I want to go! I can meet up with Moss to learn more about the situation, and I can also avoid the Ten Elders' assassination attempt.

The key to this whole thing is that Chief Fubore messed it up, right? Not only did he fail to get it done, but he also alerted the other side, making them want to join forces against me?

Ultimately, this game is about expecting an NPC with whom you've never built up any goodwill or quests, and expecting to get things done just by paying money. That's what the veteran players of the open beta are saying – the quest-based system is a trap!
But how can I explain this to these young ladies? Should I leave them to rest at the hotel? If the Ten Elders make a move tonight, they'll be in big trouble!
Never mind, take them along! They're annoying anyway, taking them to the desert to suffer a bit will make everyone happy. Even if they're a burden, they can stay at the hotel anyway.

Da Chun didn't even want to wait anymore!
So he said, "Everyone, let's just pack up and go to a fun place, right away!"

Hathaway was stunned: "We've all had a long day and want to get some rest."

The other three young ladies were also ready to agree, but suddenly remembered something, so they just opened their mouths but didn't dare to say a word.

Hmm, not bad. Da Chun actually appreciates their keen sense of how to curry favor with powerful figures.

Want to rest, right?
Knowing that Libnashi was erudite, Dachun asked her, "Did the Hathaway family's status come from resting?"

Libnashi replied without hesitation: "After the great war a thousand years ago, many nobles were destroyed in the war, which made room for the birth of new nobles. The founder of the Hathaway family was an ordinary naval soldier who survived the war. He was born through maritime trade and had fought to the death with pirates many times. He made his first fortune by seizing the pirates' property."

Da Chun sighed, "So, Miss Hathaway, let's learn from our ancestors, pack our bags and get going!"
