The idea that one generation plants trees so that another can enjoy the shade is not something everyone is willing to do, especially when they don't receive gratitude in return, or even when they help people they don't like.
Qingye Hui knew that no matter how Xiaomian tried to persuade them, it would be useless. Only when these players from the Dream City experienced the same pain that the player ladies who raised Xia Nuoer felt would they learn to cherish them.
As for now...
"It seems I can't persuade you anymore, and I'm not satisfied with your approach. Since we can't reach an agreement, then this situation... is what you call war!!"
"War? What a joke! Owlface, you're a solo player, aren't you? You've never joined any guild... What makes you think you can start a war with me?" the guild leader of Hyakkiin questioned.
'So what if I'm all alone? From today onwards, I will hunt you all! I'll start by killing those damned profiteers! I'll keep killing until you all quit the game!'
Owlface's declaration of war was not taken seriously by anyone. The reason for this was not that they underestimated Owlface's strength, but that Dream City had a safe zone, or rather, that PK was prohibited in the main city area of any online game.
Under the absolute protection of this game mechanic, even if Owlface wanted to kill them, there was absolutely no way to do so.
Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that... the game character from Owlface had now been empowered by the doomsday witch's authority, or rather, any player wielding the Blade of Disorder possessed the ability to break the rules of the dream city.
At this moment, Kiyono Hai looked up at the goddess of the dream city sitting opposite him and asked.
"How does it feel to watch your chosen ones fight amongst themselves, Mr. Sanada?"
Chosen One, Qingye Hui believes, is the most suitable title for top players in games that are still in long-term operation.
Because the game characters they use are no longer just game characters. These game characters are the result of players investing a lot of time and resources to upgrade their equipment, levels, skill points, and a whole host of other stats to the strongest level in the entire server.
Behind all these equipment, levels, skills, and everything else that can enhance a character's strength lies the painstaking effort of the gods who operate this game!
For example, the god now doesn't know how many pieces he has broken into, splitting his divine essence and power into, so many pieces that they are almost like the Shikon Jewel, and have been fused into these top-tier game accounts.
The gods did this to endow these top player characters with combat power, so that their game characters could exert the same combat power even on other stages, just like the Black Sword Knights.
Secondly, when these game characters go to other stages to plunder and slaughter, the divinity of the gods also grows as the characters level up and become stronger.
This should have been a highly profitable business, but what if the chosen ones start killing each other...?
"It's just a minor incident." This god of the dream city seemed extremely indifferent.
Just a minor skirmish...? Let's wait and see if it's just a minor skirmish.
Regardless, today she will ignite the first fire that will burn the entire Dream City to the ground.
Chapter 89. The World-Destroying Judgment of the Witch's Night (6000 words, two parts)
For the past week, players of Starfire Alliance have been going crazy in Dream City... going crazy over their game characters.
It should be said that he was acting crazy towards his daughter or son.
The reason is that the game Dream City was promoted with a cute and adorable art style from the very beginning.
Most players, when they first start playing, create a character of the opposite gender and raise it as their daughter or son. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say, "My little one finally remembers how good his/her mother/father was!"
In short, for the past week, the game atmosphere in Dream City has been like a festival, with players going crazy over their favorite characters everywhere.
I don't know if it was because of that former Shen Caihua... that she really wanted to use the ability to absorb more of the Disruptive Blade to capture that world-destroying witch.
The city of Dream City did not make many changes to the concept of the Reborn, nor did they send any of their gods to help them play the role of the Reborn.
The role of the Reborn One was entirely taken on by Shiina Akane, and the only auxiliary function update they made was that players could create an additional clone on top of their original account.
The appearance of this clone can be redefined, but it can inherit the original account's level, equipment, and various stats, which can be considered as reducing the burden for players who come here to raise their own clones.
At this moment, we are in the most bustling area of the main city of Dream City, at the Musical Fountain Square.
Shimazu Sousuke, the president of the Spark Alliance, was inevitably caught up in this craze for raising virtual pets.
Unlike other fantasy city players, Shimazu Sousuke is actually raising a 'daughter'.
After switching to the Holy Stars, he handed over his Dream City account to his daughter, Ritsuka Shimazu, to manage.
To make his youngest daughter feel more involved, he recreated his daughter's character from the game Fantasy City.
After that, Ritsuka Shimazu always treated this game like a magical girl dress-up pretend game.
As a result, after the Rebirth version update, the game character 'Xiao Lu,' which was originally supposed to be a dress-up doll of his youngest daughter, turned into his daughter's twin sister.
"Dad, look! She looks exactly like me now! By the way, is Xiaolu my older sister or my younger sister?"
At this moment, Shimazu Ritsuka was sitting side by side with her father, enjoying the dream city.
The operating equipment they use is a more advanced VR brainwave controller, which allows players to achieve a pseudo-fully immersive effect during gameplay.
But you can still experience the game as if you were actually there. In any case, Shimazu Ritsuka has already treated Dream City as a real game.
"I must be your older sister, Xiaohua, right? After all, when your father created me, you were still in your mother's womb!"
As the older sister, Shimazu Karito, or rather, Ritsu, has a more lively and mature personality. After all, before she was born a girl, she went through countless brutal battles with Shimazu Sousuke.
"Well, Sister Lu! Actually, I've bought a lot of clothes recently that I want you to wear!"
Xiao Hua seemed to accept the fact that she had an older sister in the game very naturally, or rather, she accepted it with great excitement.
It feels like your favorite dress-up doll, which you usually sleep with, has suddenly come to life. It's an extremely terrifying experience for adults, but for children it's like a dream come true.
"What... should we do?"
At that moment, Shimazu Kori suddenly looked up at her nominal 'father'.
Shimazu Sousuke gave a slightly helpless smile and waved his hand, signaling them to go and have fun.
To be honest, Shimazu Sousuke felt more of a comradeship with his second daughter, who had suddenly come back to life, than anything else. They had fought side by side for almost ten years, from the closed beta to now.
To put it more accurately, it's like the feeling of a deceased old comrade entrusting his daughter to you.
Just as Shimazu Sousuke was feeling sentimental, a merchant from their guild, Kuwana, suddenly sat down next to him.
"Guild Master, I've stockpiled almost two thousand Broken Order Blades on this trip, and I might be able to stockpile even more later... Guild Master, could you help me contact some potential buyers? Maybe we can exchange them for some resources needed in the Holy Stars."
This Sangming is a professional merchant in the Starfire Alliance. In games like the Holy Stars, where battles are no different from those in the real world, the frequent exchange of resources between players has given rise to a large number of players like Sangming who make a living through business.
"Why are you hoarding this stuff?" Shimazu Sousuke asked, somewhat puzzled. "Isn't it just for getting tickets to the new version of Dream City?"
For top players like them, real-world money and in-game items are no longer considered 'valuable goods' or even ordinary equivalents.
Only the game "Sacred Stars" produces a plethora of powerful items, such as ancient relics, star god contracts, and pioneer warships—these treasures can be considered truly valuable.
The item "Blade of Disorder" is now just a ticket to an amusement park in Shimazu Sousuke's eyes.
Although the members of the Spark Alliance have all returned to Dream City, it's essentially just a holiday where they bring their families to the amusement park for a good time.
"Because this item will become unavailable, or rather, it's almost unavailable. The NPC Shanor, who produces the Blade of Disorder, probably won't live for more than a few days under the torment of those players and my colleagues," Sang Ming said.
"Even if it's out of print, would anyone really spend a lot of money to buy an amusement park ticket?" Shimazu Sousuke still didn't quite understand. Surely no one would spend a fortune on an amusement park ticket?
"So, President, you both understand and don't understand. The Blade of Disorder doesn't represent an amusement park ticket. It represents a unique romantic experience, or adopting a daughter who truly belongs to you. That's the beauty of the Reborn setting."
As he spoke, Sang Ming even pretended to light a cigarette in the game. However, judging from the meticulous movements of Sang Ming's character, he was probably using an immersive gaming device with motion sensing capabilities.
"Take the experience of treating the reborn as a lover for example. Making players experience the feeling of love in a game is the most difficult thing! Those game developers may rack their brains but still can't do this. For example, the love story of a bunch of magical girl characters that Dream City released before, no matter how much they flirted with those otaku, it was useless."
"But the concept of the Reborn alone can give players the feeling of reuniting with their ex-girlfriend after many years, discovering that they still like her and that she still loves them! This kind of romantic experience is very unique and very realistic. Normal people may never experience this in the real world, but here you can experience it simply by buying a Blade of Disorder."
"So you're quite knowledgeable?"
This statement was not made by Shimazu Sousuke... but by Owlface. Owlface's appearance had somehow appeared before these two members of the Starfire Alliance.
"Don't you know how to make this money? But Miss Owlface... so many merchants are hoarding Blades of Chaos right now, why did you single me out?"
Sang Ming did not appear particularly flustered by the appearance of the Owl Mask.
"Now... of course I've found them too. I should say I'll settle all the debts you owe me."
Owlface has now activated the most terrifying ability of this Shadow Psychic, which is the Shadow King's clone ability... a clone with a one-to-one strength.
To control these clones, Owlface used a brainwave controller she had never really liked; the feeling of controlling them was somewhat like constantly switching screens… but
With its terrifyingly inhuman computing speed, the Owl could easily accomplish this.
"Purge? This is a safe zone where fighting is prohibited. How do you plan to break the game's rules to purge me?" Sang Ming remained defiant.
But... he suddenly felt a slight stinging sensation in his chest! This was a physical sensation from his gaming device, and the pain was only one-thousandth of what he felt in the real world.
But even if it's only one in a thousand, the fact that he could feel pain from the very beginning means...
Sang Ming looked down at his chest and discovered that a sharp, shadowy spike had pierced through it without him noticing.
His health points were instantly reduced by one-third.
"How... is this possible? This is the safe zone in the game!"
"You probably don't know that the Blade of Disorder has another characteristic, right? That is... breaking all the rules of this game! Including that bullshit rule that you can't attack other players in the safe zone!"
As Xiaomian spoke, countless shadowy spikes extended from behind her, giving Sangming a direct experience of being pierced.
Amidst a scene of carnage, Sang Ming's character was instantly torn to pieces by shadowy spikes.
This bloody scene made Shimazu Sousuke realize what was happening and wanted to draw his weapon to fight back... but he was forced back by Owl's murderous words.
"I advise you not to interfere with me. It's rare for your daughter to have an older sister in the game. You don't want her to be left with the psychological trauma of having her own family member dismembered and killed in front of her when she's nine years old, do you?"
"..."
As expected, after hearing this, the president of the Starfire Alliance could do nothing but hug his two daughters tightly.
And so the massacre began... Owlface showed some mercy during the massacre.
She only targets players with multiple Disorder Blades, and she will also mercilessly kill any fools who dare to fight back against her during the massacre.
But even if the owl is intentionally selecting his targets for slaughter.
But a massacre is a massacre... Messages like 'Player Owlface killed player Sangming' began to flood the public chat in Dream City.
The fountain square, the most bustling main area of the dream city, was instantly stained with blood and gore.
Logically speaking, Dream City should have long since blocked out such realistic gore, but unfortunately... the Doomsday Witch's ability is to tear apart all the disguises of Dream City and present the true face of this world to everyone.
So from the moment Owlface began his attack, severed limbs flew everywhere in the fountain plaza, and even the fountain itself was stained with blood.
"You...you crazy woman! So what if you can kill me? I can still resurrect without a scratch as if nothing happened."
After Sangming respawned at the respawn point, he loudly cursed and rushed over to continue chasing him.
"is it?"
As he spoke, Xiaomian once again blocked the respawn point and mercilessly killed Sangming.
