Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

"It's been a long time since I've heard that title, and I really miss it. But I still prefer people to call me the Jade-Faced Scholar rather than some kind of God of Slaughter."

"Do you have a problem with me being a notary? Is it because I'm not qualified or because my reputation is unworthy?"

Qin Shusheng's voice was light and cheerful, giving people a gentle and refined feeling.

However, Alexander did not experience this at all. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave in an instant, and the bone-chilling cold pierced his spine from the soles of his feet.

"No... no problem."

"I apologize for the offense. I have no doubt about your strength and reputation. The Tower Master would certainly be very happy and pleased to know that you can participate in the conversation with the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs."

Alexander immediately stood up and said respectfully.

This guy was someone who came to our door more than a decade ago, forcefully broke through the Knights of the Tower of Order, and even captured a knight from among them whom he claimed was colluding with the Cult of Calamity, and killed him on the spot.

Even after doing these things, one can still leave unharmed when meeting the Tower Master.

Furthermore, with the joint approval of the leaders of the three major organizations, the "Mainland Hotel" was established, becoming the most unique neutral service organization in the history of players of the Spirit Disaster.

How could Alexander not be afraid?

With its formidable strength, coupled with the intelligence network that [Mainland Hotels] now has spread across the world.

In a sense, the danger level of this Jade-Faced Killer Qin Shusheng is equivalent to that of the Azure Dragon Director of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

The latter is so powerful that it leaves one powerless to resist.

The former is so pervasive that it drives people to despair.

After all, looking at all the players in the entire Disaster game now, as long as they are of a high enough level to enter the Disaster Plaza and know about the Continental Hotel, almost everyone has used its services.

The strategy of the [Tower of Order] think tank towards Qin Shusheng has always been to not resist and to engage in friendly dialogue, trying to meet his demands as much as possible.

Seeing Alexander's attitude.

Qin Shusheng simply smiled and shook his head, saying, "Don't try to pin this on me. Your affairs with the Bureau of Extraordinary Events are a separate matter. I'm only here today to do a favor for a friend and act as a witness."

After saying that, his provocative gaze turned to Wu Wang, who was looking at him with disdain.

A folding fan appeared in his hand without his knowledge.

He pointed lightly at Wu Wang and asked:

"But this friend doesn't seem very welcoming. Is there something wrong with him?"

Seeing that Qin Shusheng had finished speaking, no matter how much pressure he exerted, all Wu Wang could get in return was a disdainful eye roll.

The situation became awkward at one point.

The know-it-all immediately stepped forward to break the seemingly oppressive atmosphere.

"No complaints at all. I am truly grateful to have such a big client as you help me. This is Yan Shuangying, who is currently making waves. He probably doesn't recognize you. Let's take a seat."

In order to obtain the [Legendary] item.

And to give that bastard Yan Shuangying a taste of his own medicine, to make him suffer a setback.

That's when Wan Shitong invited Qin Shusheng.

After all, she is currently the most outstanding intelligence broker among players, and the [Mainland Hotel] is the top intelligence organization. The various transactions between the two are countless.

Qin Shusheng patted Wu Wang on the shoulder with his folding fan, then sat down naturally at the head of the round conference table and smiled:
"You're joking. You're one of my big clients too. Our [Mainland Hotel] can't do without an excellent informant like you. It's just a favor, nothing I do. I love helping others."

"And... does this Yan Shuangying really not recognize me?"

Seeing that this guy looked like he deserved a beating, Wu Wang didn't hold back.

He sat back down in his seat and said calmly, "Two to one, I'm still winning."

The folding fan in Qin Shusheng's hand made a cracking sound as it could no longer bear the weight.

Looking over, I noticed that his smile had become less natural, and his tone was tinged with a hint of gritted teeth as he said, "Let's get down to business first."

He gets angry when the score is two to one.

Previously, in "Anecdotes of the Pear Garden," this kid had a slight advantage. He clearly had a chance to profit from both sides in real life by taking advantage of the opportunity when the witch, the president of the Tarot Club, wanted to add Yan Shuangying as a friend.

Unexpectedly, these two guys tricked him at the same time, and in the end, he didn't earn a single penny.

Furthermore, due to the unexpected situation where [Chaos] suddenly invaded the real-world framework and crashed into the wall, I didn't have time to use the speculation that Yan Shuangying and the widow were actually the same player to turn the tide.

Therefore, in that childish game between him and Yan Shuangying, the other side still had a slight advantage.

Hmph! It's alright! We'll win this time!

With Qin Shusheng's intervention, the subsequent conversation went much more smoothly.

Alexander stated—

"This dungeon passage is a seven-player dungeon, and the difficulty is estimated to be nightmare level. In addition to the three of us entering, the [Bureau of Extraordinary Events] will also send two players to accompany us. After all, my purpose in coming to China this time is to showcase the research results of the [Tower of Order]."

Wu Wang and Wan Shitong both thought this was quite reasonable, and were even somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, in addition to knowing the number of times a dungeon has failed, the Tower of Order can also provide information on the number of players required and the difficulty of the dungeon before entering.

With these chips in hand, it seems that the Tower of Order is determined to obtain the method held by the Bureau of Extraordinary Events that reveals the exact location of the dungeon passage.

After all, if the situation is true, exchanging research results would be of great help to both sides.

Even the Tarot Club sees that if both sides want to work together and make progress, they must exchange research results of the same level in order to avoid being left far behind.

If not, then [Tarot Club] will have to buy both methods from both sides at once.

The Tower of Order and the Bureau of Strange Events could even make a profit from this.

Regardless of the circumstances, all three organizations will profit if they advance together; it's just a matter of how much they profit.

Only in this way can the status of the three major organizations be shaken, even with the surge in the number of players in the Calamity era, and no matter how many small civilian organizations are established.

Of course, to verify the authenticity of the information, the [Strange Events Bureau] would definitely have to send people into the instance to investigate.

"Where are the other two people?"

Know-It-All frowned and asked.

Five players have already been selected for the seven-player raid, so the remaining two spots are crucial.

Regardless of which side it relates to, it could disrupt the balance of the three-way competition for the [Legendary] item.

After all, the people from the [Bureau of Extraordinary Events] didn't know what was inside; they were just there to complete the dungeon and verify the information.

The current discussion revolves around the ownership and competition for [Legendary] items.

In response, Alexander shrugged and said:

"As for the other two, I currently have two options to choose from—either bring two non-players in, weakening their presence to the point that they are no longer a threat to the balance; or have the [Anomaly Bureau] provide arrested death row inmates to enter, but in that case, there will be four people on that side."

"Although the three of us knew in advance that there were clues about the [Legendary] item in the dungeon, we could not guarantee that the [Strange Affairs Bureau] would not notice anything amiss during the dungeon raid."

"If they join the competition, we will be at a disadvantage."

Faced with these two proposals.

Wu Wang and Wan Shitong both fell silent for a moment.

To be honest, the first option is definitely the most suitable. The threat posed by non-player newbies is so low it's laughable, just like Jiang Xiaoming, the thief who accidentally wandered into Wu Wang's house in the [Demon Prison] instance.

In high-difficulty dungeons, newbies are just cannon fodder, with no idea when they'll die.

Their presence will not affect the competition for items among the three.

Unless the instance is one where each player has a specific and important role, it's barely useful for new players.

But no one knows this before entering the instance, and the probability of such an instance appearing is extremely low.

As for the latter...

It has both advantages and disadvantages.

On the positive side, players will be more united overall and less likely to make foolish mistakes.

The death row inmates provided by the [Bureau of Extraordinary Events] are all implanted with a special chip that can trigger an alarm and take corresponding disciplinary or even lethal action if they harbor any ill intentions towards other [Bureau of Extraordinary Events] members. As a result, they are forced to dutifully assist the group in conquering dungeons.

Most of these death row inmates were actually people who had just become Necromancer players, who tried to break out of prison by not eating beef, and were then caught again.

They already have a certain understanding of the Necromancer game, so there's no need for further education or supervision to prevent them from making foolish mistakes.

Under controllable conditions, unexpected situations caused by internal player conflicts were avoided to the greatest extent possible.

The downside, as Alexander mentioned, is that once the people in the Bureau of Extraordinary Events become aware of the existence of the legendary item...

They will certainly bring those death row inmates with them to join the fight.

This situation not only puts the four people on the [Strange Affairs Bureau] at a disadvantage compared to their three, but also raises the possibility that if a death row inmate obtains the [Legendary] item, he might be able to use it to break free from the [Strange Affairs Bureau]'s restrictions.

There's no guarantee what a death row inmate might do.

If things go wrong, we might end up in a dungeon where we're all buried together.

After all, we also have to consider that the difficulty of the dungeon is at the "nightmare" level!
After a moment, Wu Wang spoke up: "I choose the latter, the death row inmate option."

“What’s the reason?” Alexander raised an eyebrow. “And now I suspect you’re also from the Bureau of Extraordinary Events, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to explain how much you knew before.”

"Your Bureau of Extraordinary Events isn't planning to enter the dungeon and forcefully seize the items with a 5-2 advantage, are you?"

If it's the former new employee plan...

Even with Yan Shuangying, there are only three people on the other side of the Bureau of Strange Events. At worst, he can join forces with Wan Shitong. Although it is a disadvantage to fight two against three, it will not be without any power to resist.

However, the situation is completely different if the death row inmates are in a five-on-two scenario.

Damn it, the more Alexander talked, the more he felt that his speculation was somewhat true.

However, before Wu Wang could clarify his identity or explain his reasons for choosing the latter, he was still in the process.

Qin, the scholar sitting in the main seat, suddenly spoke up: "He is not a member of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, I guarantee it."

Alexander's eyes widened immediately.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shusheng would step forward to vouch for him at this time?
However, since the other party controls the top intelligence organization, [Mainland Hotel], if the information they provide is unreliable, I really have no way of finding more information to refute it.

Moreover, he is now a notary.

So Alexander had no choice but to go along with it and said, "Since it's your guarantee, I naturally believe it. Yan Shuangying, please continue with your reasons."

Seeing Qin Shusheng's smug expression, Wu Wang gave him a disdainful look and said, "There's no other reason, it's just that we need to consider the difficulty of the [Nightmare] dungeon."

"If there are two non-player newbies, let's not even talk about whether the [Bureau of Extraordinary Events] will allow ordinary people to enter. Losing two people out of nowhere will make the dungeon more difficult."

Of course, that's one way of saying it.

In reality, Wu Wang was only trying to avoid the appearance of the Xie Zhi and Qinglong, who discovered that he had captured ordinary people to take risks.

I have a pretty good reputation with the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, so there's no need to make a decision that would damage my image.

“If they are not players, I can bring people from my side without harming the people of China.”

Alexander continued confidently, "As for the difficulty, rest assured, I successfully cleared a Nightmare dungeon before the [Public Beta] even!"

"I'm sure."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present underwent subtle changes.

Alexander enjoyed that expression.

In his view, this was both an affirmation and a shock to their own achievements!
After all, there are very few successful cases of clearing Nightmare-level dungeons. Every single one of them is a major news item that has been hotly discussed on the Lingzai APP.
Even the three major organizations will specifically analyze the success stories of the Nightmare dungeon, and even seal them away as valuable intelligence.

My strategy guide was previously classified information recorded by the Tower of Order, but now that it's in open beta, I can finally show it off.

Hmph! Be worshipful!

Don't think that just because I'm a member of the think tank I only know how to use my brain to come up with bad ideas. My track record is also quite impressive!
The Tower of Order does not tolerate idlers!
Snapped--

Suddenly, Wu Wang snapped his fingers.

Everyone's attention was drawn to him.

But he didn't say anything.

Alexander was somewhat bewildered, wondering what this guy was up to.

Sitting in the main seat, Qin Shusheng opened his folding fan to cover his mouth and chuckled, "Interesting... No wonder he beat me twice."

Then, the know-it-all next to him helplessly reminded him, "Take a look at this guy's level."

It's important to know that before the open beta, the maximum level cap was 30.

Although there are differences among level 30 players, level does not necessarily represent true combat power.

However, the faster a player levels up after the open beta, the stronger their ability and strength in conquering dungeons are naturally reflected in this.

Alexander's current level is 32.

The all-knowing guy sighed and then showed off his own level 33.

As beta testers, they currently receive an experience bonus when completing dungeons, and players have also noticed that dungeons seem to offer even more experience after the official launch.

This has resulted in the fact that it has only been in public beta for about a week.

They had already been promoted two or three ranks.

If this had happened before the public beta, it would have been unbelievable how fast the upgrades were happening.

Of course, this also reveals some hidden meanings in the theme of the [Public Beta], [Supreme Evolution].

With no level restrictions at this point, players who complete more and faster dungeons can significantly widen the gap in their base stats.

From the moment she entered the room, Wu Xiaoyou was the only one in the entire conference room who didn't know how to hide her level, with a pitiful "Lv9" floating above her head.

No one else chose to display their level.

However, Alexander did possess the analysis results of the [Tower of Order] database.

He knew perfectly well that most level 30 players had just finished clearing a dungeon, and if it was on the [Hard] difficulty level, they could barely reach level 32.

My upgrade speed is already quite good.

A "know-it-all" is someone who can only achieve this through some special means, making them an extremely rare and exceptional case.

One more level is acceptable.

And that carefree, nonchalant guy in front of me.

The bright light on his forehead clearly showed—

【Lv42】

They completely crushed me by ten levels!
How the hell is that possible?!

This caused Alexander to abruptly stand up, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets, and he pointed a trembling finger at the numbers above Wu Wang's head, saying:

"Impossible! Even if you were clearing a Nightmare-level dungeon, it wouldn't be this fast! You're...you're..."

The word "cheating" stuck in his throat and he never uttered it.

Because Alexander knew very well.

There is no such thing as cheating in the game "Spirit Disaster".

It's a game that wasn't designed by human programmers and is full of bugs.

It can be called a miracle.

God would not make such a basic mistake.

In response, Wu Wang shrugged and said:

"What if there are two?"

"Oh, right, what do you mean by 'even a Nightmare' level dungeon? And what do you mean by having a case study of successfully clearing a Nightmare level dungeon?"

"I don't quite understand. So the Spirit Disaster game has dungeons below the [Nightmare] level?" (End of Chapter)
