Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

What is the purpose of the Venerable Ones invading reality?
The answer to this question is sought by players of the Necropolis game worldwide.

Anyone who has ever had even the slightest curiosity about the existence of the Necropolis game is bound to be incredibly curious about the truth behind it.

Some believe it's simply about taking over worlds that don't belong to them; others think they have a deeper connection to the Necropolis game, and the real world, as the location of the Necropolis game, naturally attracts the attention of the Venerables; still others, like Gentleman Penguin, who know some inside information, understand that Necropolis players are very special beings, and the Venerables can even use their unique ability to freely travel to any world as a scalpel to complete various tasks.

However, Wu Wang believed that none of these were true.

When [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] revealed to him that the Spirit Disaster players were essentially scalpels.

He realized this.

Indeed, players of the Necropolis can fix the world's flaws one by one.

But this has little to do with the Venerable Ones. No matter how important the faith world is to them, it is definitely not the most crucial issue.

Although Wu Wang still has many doubts about these higher-dimensional beings.

But there was one thing he was certain of—

The Venerables all desire to attain immortality.

Wu Wang even suspected that their purpose in invading reality, while ostensibly to control the players of the Spirit Disaster, was actually just to filter out the "undying" beings.

In other words, they all came for themselves.

If this theory holds true, then when [Order] confronts the Azure Dragon and [Chaos], while other Venerables are eager to try their luck outside the barriers of the real world.

As long as one leaves the real world and exposes the aura of "immortality" in a more distant instance world.

Wu Wang believed that all the Venerable Ones, including [Order], would temporarily refrain from invading the real world.

They then turned their attention to themselves.

As the gentleman penguin said, there are all sorts of contradictions among the venerable ones.

They cooperate with each other, yet they also hinder each other.

Therefore, given that "immortality" is the only thing that exists, none of them would allow any other Venerable One to seize it before them.

However, this pressure of being watched by all the venerable ones will be borne by oneself alone, instead of in the real world.

From then on, Wu Wang would have to wander through countless dungeon worlds in constant fear, just like Oink.

Therefore, he needs a way to freely travel the world and conceal his presence in front of the Venerable One.

The longer Wu Wang hides, the longer the real world will remain safe.

He couldn't imagine what kind of impact the Venerables would have on the world after obtaining immortality.

But one thing is for sure: this is definitely not a good thing.

Unfortunately, there's no other way now that things have come to this.

If the plan of the [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] is allowed to succeed, when the real world truly falls into complete chaos, even if Wu Wang does not actively reveal his [Undying] aura, it will probably be difficult for him to hide it for long.

Why not just throw caution to the wind and use the allure of immortality to preserve the real world?

To be precise, it was about protecting the second sister who was still alive in this world, and the eldest sister who remained in the [Laughing River] sword.

They were the ones Wu Wang truly cared about.

“I will hide somewhere where no one can find me, until I am truly able to face those venerable ones.”

This was Wu Wang's promise to his second sister after he came out of the dungeon and told her about his plan.

This is why Wu Xiaoyou was somewhat restless that day at the food stall.

She knew what would happen if Wu Wang really did that.

Nine days later, their family will probably never be able to reunite again.

As for whether Wu Wang will be captured by the Venerables soon after he hides away.

Wu Xiaoyou hadn't even considered this.

She knew that since her brother had said that, then the place where he was hiding must be truly impossible for anyone to find.

This naturally includes myself and my eldest sister.

Indeed, Wu had already chosen a hiding place.

He would seek out the so-called "Abyss" and hide inside.

That is the location of [death].

This is also a place that no venerable being would venture into...

Of course, this happened nine days later.

Before that, Wu Wang had a lot of preparatory work to do.

There are things he needs at this auction.

While looking up at the road, you also have to look down and pull the cart.

"Alright, the auction will begin after all the guests have verified their funds. Now, let the all-knowing guide take you to verify your funds as well."

"As for what I asked you to steal, I will contact you when I need it. There's no rush for now."

Seeing that the transaction was nearing its end, the gentleman penguin prepared to let Wu Wang leave.

The same applies to him.

The invasion by a Venerable One is something that might happen in the future; the auction right now is the main event.

As for Oink, he wasn't one of the guests participating in the auction, nor did he have the extra assets to do these things.

The gentleman penguin planned to let him wander around the castle called "Wanbaolou" at his leisure.

For someone like myself, a "wanderer," the gentleman penguin is quite endearing.

After the auction, he also planned to have Oink stay as a guest.

Let's do our part as hosts.

Suddenly, before leaving the office, Wu Wang said to Gentleman Penguin, "I have already selected the [Legendary] set component I want, and unfortunately it happens to be one of your auction items today."

"So it was premeditated all along," the gentleman penguin replied, squinting. "A very skillful house-demolition effect."

He immediately realized what was going on.

Yan Shuangying had been quoting prices for two [Legendary] items, and that they had to be part of a set.

It seems like they are negotiating and pulling back and forth with themselves.

In fact, from the very beginning, this guy never intended to actually get such a high price.

Instead, raise your own expectations so that he gets what he truly wants.

In response, Wu Wang laughed and said, "There's nothing we can do. As Master Xun once said, the nature of us Chinese is always to compromise and find a middle ground. For example, if you say that this room is too dark and you want to open a skylight here, everyone will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will compromise and agree to open a skylight."

"The [Legendary] component I chose is [Thief Eater]."

"Should I give it to you now? Or how should I phrase it?"

The gentleman penguin rolled his eyes.

He tapped Wu Wang's leg with his cane and cursed, "You really know how to pick things! Do you know how many people came here today for this? Not to mention the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, the Tarot Society, and the Tower of Order, there are also many newly emerging forces, and even the Disaster Cult is interested in this. And you just say you want it?"

"My Wanbao Auction House is renowned throughout the myriad realms. How can we take down auction items that have already been announced to the public?"

"Are you still going to do business with us?"

Wu Wang shrugged and said, "What does this have to do with me? Don't try to renege on your promise. This piece of equipment is absolutely in line with the terms of the transaction. I personally selected the legendary components, and the level is epic. I didn't say that I couldn't choose something from the auction items."

At the same time, Wu Wang continued with a question, "But why are so many organizations interested in it? Although it's said to be the key to a secret realm dungeon, isn't it necessary to collect seven pieces of equipment from the same series to open it?"

At this point, he suddenly paused.

His expression turned subtle, and he gave a sly smile. He teased, "Oh~ could this be the last round?"

This is a reasonable explanation that Wu Wang could deduce.

Other swords in the same series have probably already been released.

The [Thief-Swallowing] weapon currently up for auction at the Gentlemen's Penguin Auction is the last one, meaning the Secret Realm dungeon is about to be truly opened.

The gentleman penguin didn't mince words, saying helplessly, "Pretty much, this is the second to last one."

"It is now known that the Bureau of Extraordinary Events, the Tarot Society, and the Tower of Order each possess one, the Disaster Cult also has one, and a special force holds one."

Things are rare.

When the treasure is still far from being discovered, most people adopt a wait-and-see attitude.

But when the treasure is about to be revealed, everyone wants to get involved.

Everyone knows that once seven pieces of equipment from the same series appear, their owners will be able to gather privately to discuss opening the secret realm dungeon.

At that time, organizations without equipment will be completely uncompetitive.

They didn't even know when the former would get together to start the secret realm instance.

So now that it's the penultimate round, everyone has started scrambling for it.

"Special forces? What forces?" Wu Wang asked, raising an eyebrow.

He could understand the organizations that the other party mentioned possessed the same series of equipment.

But there is actually another force that has managed to obtain this item, and it hasn't been taken away by the Disaster Cult yet?
In my impression, the Disaster Relief Cult is not so easy to talk to.

If the three main families can be preserved, can the other forces also be preserved?

The gentleman penguin slowly spoke, "[Pluto Research Institute]."

"This is a little-known force. It is very powerful, but it is quite low-key and good at hiding."

"Of course, if you want to know more from me, that's a different price."

When it comes to business, the gentleman penguin becomes energetic again.

"No need, I was just curious."

Hearing this name.

Wu Wang outwardly remained calm and refused the other party's offer to trade.

In truth, his heart skipped a beat, and his determination to obtain the [Swallowing Thief] was strengthened once again.

Because as long as the [Thief Devourer] is in his hands, when the last component is released, he will have the opportunity to access the [Pluto Research Institute] again.

Speaking of which, he still needs to see the fortune teller after the auction ends.

Regarding the matter of [Desire Sea Spirit Lord] instigating [Order] to obstruct the Azure Dragon, Wu Wang wanted to know what attitude the old man and the crazy woman from the Pluto Research Institute held.

"Alright then, don't worry, my reputation is well-known. Since you've chosen this component, I will definitely give it to you." Gentleman Penguin said helplessly, "When you win the bid for this equipment, just bid. At least it has to be your own bid, not something I just take and give to you."

Upon hearing this promise, Wu Wang nodded.

That is to say, the procedures still need to be followed, at least to prevent outsiders from noticing anything amiss.

He and Oink then turned and left the office together.

I just got back to the hallway.

The all-knowing figure appeared at the end of the corridor.

Smiling, he walked towards them and said, "Finished talking? Then come with me to verify the funds."

She did not show any shock at Oink's sudden appearance.

It's clear that the gentleman penguin has somehow made her aware of his existence.

However, as Wu Wang followed behind him, he suddenly said in a sarcastic tone:
"This is Penguin Master's performance record, not mine~ What would I be doing going in there~"

"In the end, they still eavesdropped. Some people are just not honest. If you want to listen, just come in. I'm not charging you admission."

Hearing this, the know-it-all blushed.

He stubbornly explained, "So what? This is a test from Master Penguin."

"He said that if I could successfully eavesdrop on a transaction between him and someone else, I could choose any item from his treasure vault, regardless of quality or type."

Wu Wang was furious upon hearing this.

Damn those big-time capitalist dogs.

If you want to get something from that guy, you have to scheme and cheat.

As a result, he was rewarded with a choice of items for overhearing a transaction with his apprentice.

And there are no restrictions on quality or category.

Is it great to be rich?

Suddenly, Wu Wang realized that teasing the know-it-all wasn't so funny anymore.

After all, they are genuinely wealthy.

In this wondrous atmosphere, the three of them arrived at another level of the castle.

There are countless branching paths here, and occasionally you can see other participants being led by little penguins toward one of them.

The all-knowing man also led Wu Wang onto a side road, and at the end of the road they saw a special bronze door.

A little penguin was standing at the entrance, and the light screen above its head displayed—

Welcome to Wanbao's verification room. Please follow me into the room for verification.

As Wu Wang and the others approached, the little penguin tiptoed and barely managed to open the door, presenting a welcoming expression.

"Go ahead, after you've verified your credentials, come with me to the auction venue and wait for it to start."

The know-it-all pointed to the door and said, "This time I really won't spy on you; I still have basic professional ethics."

In response, Wu Wang simply made a face and pulled Oink into the verification room.

He muttered to himself, "The sense of security you give me is less than one percent of what a good brother does. At least a good brother would actually help me kill someone if I needed to."

boom--

The doors to the verification room closed.

After Wu Wang went in, he didn't really care whether Wan Shi Tong would spy on his verification process.

After all, in a sense, the other party was originally one of the staff members of Wanbaolou.

Now he's thinking more about how to get the trial key.

He can figure out how to get everything else to complete the plan at this stage.

Only the trial key, which is currently placed in the auction item position.

It seems the only way is to actually film it.

I need a lot of assets.

There are enough of them to take them down from the three founding families or even the Disaster Cult.

But the auction is about to start, so where am I supposed to get so many assets on short notice?
"Hey, I have an idea..."

Wu Wang suddenly had a good idea.

The idea king had another flash of brilliance... (End of Chapter)
