Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 347 The Fatal 72 Hours
"Hey, fellow countryman, aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

In response to Wang Xianzhi's greeting.

Wu Wang remained silent for a moment.

He then took her hand and said seriously, "Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you..."

"Stop, stop, buddy, can you be normal for once?" Wang Xianzhi couldn't help but sigh, "I'm really in a hurry right now."

She wanted to shut Wu up as soon as she heard about his 23-year-old snow leopard friend.

Shut up Snow Leopard!

Unfortunately, it seems that I need the other party's help to break this deadlock.

“Alright then, my name is [The Widow],” Wu Wang said with a shrug. “What’s your problem, Your Majesty?”

He really wanted to finish the Rockets' lines.

After all, it's not easy to find a cat that's willing to cooperate this time.

The cooperation referred to here is using a gun to threaten the Corruption Demon into saying the final line, "That's it, meow."

Wang Xianzhi looked at the black host on the stage, who was constantly showcasing her new products.

He sighed and said, "I'll be dead in 72 hours."

"It seems that only you can save me, and this is also saving yourself."

The sudden announcement of his death stunned Wu Wang.

He asked instinctively, "If you die, can I borrow your head for a moment?"

Wang Xianzhi: "?"

Hey buddy, I'm talking to you about something serious!
What kind of good person would openly want to cut off someone's head!

And I already said this is to save yourself!

"Oh, I was sent by the Queen of the neighboring Via Castle to assassinate you." Wu Wang said nonchalantly, "Since you said you're going to die anyway, why don't we help each other out, with tears in our eyes, and help me get some reward money."

However, Wang Xianzhi didn't care about this at all.

Because she knew that after she said what was going to happen next...

The other party's focus will certainly not be on the assassination attempt.

"If I'm not mistaken, you've just entered this instance, right?" she said confidently.

Just as Wang Xianzhi had thought.

Wu Wang was indeed stunned for a moment after saying this.

He hadn't expected the other party to even know something like this.

What Wang Xianzhi expected was...

Just as she was about to continue speaking.

Wu Wang spoke first.

The depth in his eyes makes him seem as mysterious as the ocean.

"Are you so sure I just entered the dungeon? Either you've been monitoring me since I entered, or you've been through this period yourself?"

"In other words, there are other players who entered the dungeon earlier than you, and you met them shortly after entering the dungeon, just like my current situation."

"But you just said you haven't met anyone from your hometown in a long time."

"This proves that you anticipated that the other person would be out of the game shortly after the game ended."

"Oh~ 72 hours... is this the time limit?"

"When two players meet, the former will be eliminated by unknown rules in a very short time."

"This is just about saving yourself, what does it have to do with saving me?"

A series of reasoning processes followed.

Wang Xianzhi unconsciously loosened his grip on the hem of the skirt while he was in a daze, letting it slip from his arms and spread out on the ground like a blooming rose.

Her gaze toward Wu Wang gradually shifted from helplessness to seriousness and respect.

I never imagined that I would be fooled by the other person's carefree attitude and quirky behavior.

This guy is something else!

Just from those few words of reflection he had just uttered, he was able to guess almost the whole process.

His logic was so meticulous and his ability to make connections so powerful that I had never seen anything like it before.

"The widow...the widow..."

"I remember now! You're that 'Saint of Desire'? Yan Shuangying's disciple?"

Wu Wang was not surprised that his identity had been exposed.

After all, the special contract that prevented this identity from being leaked was the one that prevented it from being revealed.

The group of free agents who were tricked into joining Ethan during the recent public relations crisis have essentially had their contracts expire after they finished helping him.

From that day on, they could sell information about Yan Shuangying and the widow to intelligence dealers.

As a member of the Major Arcana in Tarot.

It's understandable that the world knows these two names.

"Wonderful, so wonderful."

"As expected of the holy son personally chosen by the [Lord of Desire]."

"I am even more confident that you can break the deadlock."

Wang Xianzhi couldn't help but shake his head and clap his hands as he spoke.

He then added some details to Wu Wang's previous reasoning.

"When I entered the instance, I was the heir to the throne of Sego Castle, and I was ordered by the king to establish diplomatic relations with the neighboring Sene Castle."

"After arriving there, I quickly discovered the true identity of the King of Seneca Castle."

"His name is [Iron Man], and he's a freelance gamer."

"They entered the instance a year earlier than me."

After saying that, she took out a token from her backpack.

It's like tossing a coin into the air and catching it when it falls.

"The way he changed the story was by forcibly breaking through the class barrier from his original status as a beggar to quickly become a nobleman, and eventually even became the king of the castle. You should know very well how difficult it is to change your class in this world."

No, I don't really know.

In reality, all I need to do is cut off your head and take it back, and I'll become a nobleman.

Beneath Wu Wang's expressionless face lay his inner turmoil.

Silently listening to Wang Xianzhi continue:
"He has also experienced the phenomenon where the veteran player dies within 72 hours after a new or veteran player meets."

"He and I finally concluded that the key to passing the test was the 72 hours between the two encounters."

"That means each player has two chances to complete the game."

"Once as a new player, and once as a veteran player."

"This is the token he gave me before he died; it can be used to inherit his castle."

"But as you've seen, I didn't choose to betray Sego Castle and inherit somewhere else to bring about change. Instead, I chose to come back and completely overthrow the class system. I thought such a drastic change would bring the story to an end..."

At this point, she sighed and put the token back.

In their initial assumptions, the key to clearing this dungeon lay in—

[Let the story come to an end]

So within 72 hours of meeting with "Iron Man," the two of them practically turned Disney Castle upside down.

Wang Xianzhi even suggested that the other side relocate all the residents to other castles.

Let [Iron Man] become a king without his people.

She had even come up with a title for the story.

It's called "One Man King".

Unfortunately, this tactic did not succeed.

In the end, the other party still sat on the empty castle throne.

It turned into a wisp of yellow earth in front of Wang Xianzhi and was blown away by the wind.

After returning to Sego Castle.

Wang Xianzhi pondered deeply.

Finally, she came up with another solution, which is what she is doing now.

She believes the key to bringing the story to a close lies in—

The protagonist is no longer important to the story.

Overthrowing the class of Sego Castle was not the ultimate goal, but merely a means to achieve the real objective.

Wang Xianzhi wanted to promote the level of civilization throughout the castle.

To fundamentally change the mindset of the castle's inhabitants.

This allows them to prosper even without us.

She passed on all the techniques and skills that Wang Xianzhi could remember, including fine salt production, construction techniques, and medical knowledge, which were beyond the limitations of this era.

Contrary to what the pollution demon initially claimed, Wang Xianzhi did not make a fortune from these advanced technologies. In fact, she had already printed these materials into books.

It is kept in the library of Sego Castle.

Anyone who wants to see it can access it at any time.

If everyone had access to technology, even without Wang Xianzhi, the castle of Sego would remain intact.

It can also be ahead of any castle.

She attempted to downplay her own presence through reforms.

But the final result...

Clearly, Wang Xianzhi also failed.

"Heh, you think you've failed in two ways, right?" Wu Wang couldn't help but tease.

"Firstly, I never expected that the more crafts and technologies I brought to the residents, the more they would praise me, and there was no sign of me developing independent thought at all. I even suspect that the children in the castle school now have to learn about my deeds, and you have become a living historical figure."

"Secondly, you regret that you only changed Sego Castle. If you had known, you should have spread these techniques throughout the wasteland. Maybe that would have brought about a change in the wasteland and brought the story to its true conclusion."

His words made Wang Xianzhi sigh several times.

Yes, Wu Wang guessed correctly.

She did consider the second method the other party suggested.

Perhaps the scope of this story extends beyond the castle where it was born.

Instead, the entire wasteland was used as a blueprint.

On second thought, it's not as easy as it sounds.

Even if players possess powerful abilities, this world itself also contains many more supernatural beings.

How easy is it to expand the influence to the entire wasteland within just one year?

You never know when you might run into a powerful witch who will wipe you out.

Moreover, he only has 72 hours left and no way to verify it.

The only hope now is—

The changes brought about by the new player, the "widow," within these 72 hours can break the deadlock.

"If you haven't found the right answer by the time I die, then everything you do before you meet the next player may be in vain. The 72 hours between the two players meeting must be the most critical time."

"This is my last chance, and your only chance to make a mistake."

"Otherwise, you'll end up like me, having to ask the next player for help at the last minute."

"I'm very lucky to have met a fellow villager like you who is so quick-witted."

"But can you guarantee that the next person you meet will be just as intelligent?"

"Isn't it a form of despair for someone like you to place your hopes on other people?"

Listening to Wang Xianzhi's teasing.

Wu Wang shrugged.

Indeed, if something deteriorates to the point where Wu himself can no longer even think about it.

We still have to hope that someone else will come up with more solutions.

This basically meant the end of the game for him.

So he responded, "You're right. There are many mentally challenged people in this world. They can live normal lives because of the convenience of modern society, but once they encounter problems, they immediately exhibit mentally challenged behavior."

"Of course I wouldn't gamble on whether the next player is an idiot."

Finally, I have one more question for you.

Watching the other person's attitude gradually become more serious.

Wang Xianzhi sat up even straighter.

I want to hear carefully what insights this "Saint of Desire" has to offer.

"Are you sure you can't stop time?"

Unexpectedly, one sentence from the other party caused her brain to shut down.

I subconsciously thought I had misheard.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Is this some kind of code?"

However, Wu Wang shattered Wang Xianzhi's illusion of his unfathomable image with just one sentence.

"Time, stop! Aren't you called 'The World'? You can't even do Zawarudo, so what's with calling yourself 'Chicken World'?"

"..."

It's hard, the fist is hard.

After going around in circles, it turns out this kid is mentally ill.

Wang Xianzhi gritted his teeth and said, "Go ask God about this kind of question. You'd better stay away from me now, or I'm afraid I won't be able to resist sending you to meet God."

She felt uneasy about the 72-hour elimination mechanism.

Naturally, this was because she did not sense any supernatural power when she witnessed [Iron Man] being erased.

The other party simply turned into dust out of thin air.

This is far more despairing than encountering a powerful boss in other instances.

Because they didn't even know who the enemy was!
The unknown is the scariest thing!

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"I'd like to confirm first, what are your main and side quests?"

Wu Wang stopped laughing and joking.

Without any hesitation, they asked the question that might arouse suspicion.

Wang Xianzhi immediately said, "The main quest is to win first place on the Spirit Disaster Joy Show leaderboard, and the side quest is to see through the host's disguise before the first story ends. This is the instance with the fewest quests I've ever received."

Based on her past experiences.

There should be at least two or three side quests in the dungeon.

This is the first time I've encountered a dungeon with only a single side quest.

In her opinion, the other party probably had the same considerations.

I suspect that each person has a different task in this instance.

After all, this is a solo arena instance.

"So you held the new product launch to complete the side quest, right?" Wu Wang didn't say anything more.

After all, he seemed to have two more side quests than other players.

This is mostly thanks to the God of the Abyss.

However, on the other hand, the main quest and the first side quest were exactly the same as those of other players.

This is not like the way Abyss God is!

So, it's clear that this is the biggest problem.

I shouldn't have the same mission as them!
"Of course, since a new product launch event is a place with many people and a lot of eyes, it is easier to find flaws."

“Wang Xianzhi was advertised as a black woman, so most passersby shouldn’t be paying attention to me. Instead, they should be looking for the black woman to determine if she is Wang Xianzhi.”

"When we first met, if I didn't take the initiative to greet you, even you, as a player, would subconsciously ignore my presence, right? After all, in this medieval setting, my appearance is that of a very common nobleman."

"Then only those who already know my identity will pay attention to me."

"If a stranger has been watching my every move since he walked in, then there is no doubt that he is the story character that the host is pretending to be."

It must be said that every move Wang Xianzhi made was actually correct.

Wu Wang didn't see anything wrong with even trying to capture the host.

The host wanted to understand more accurately how players changed the story.

That inevitably leads to observing the other party's every move.

Wang Xianzhi took advantage of this point.

He made himself quietly appear at the new product launch event, where he shouldn't have been noticed.

Whoever observes her will reveal their flaws.

"Okay, then I know how to bring the story to a close."

Wu's words immediately made Wang Xianzhi stand up.

He stared incredulously at the witcher in the scarlet cloak.

So you know? What do you know?

Aren't we just talking about things that have already happened?
How come I suddenly understand how to end the story?
Damn it, is this kid bluffing me?

Given Wu's previous incoherent remarks.

Wang Xianzhi remained skeptical of the credibility of what he said.

"Of course, there is one more thing I need to verify before that."

"There are witches near Sego Castle, right?"

"Let's go find Gargamel and brew some Smurfs."
