Evil God? My servants are players!

The players who were just commenting on the surviving goblins felt like the sky had fallen when they came back and saw that their ATM NPC's health was almost fully restored.

"Hyacinth Doctor! Stop treating her! Let us treat her!"

But it was too late. With the final healing spell, Veronica's health was completely restored.

Veronica, the level 70 paladin, is back.

Having learned how to interact with players, Veronica paid no attention to their wailing and howling.

Instead, he solemnly thanked Hyacinth once again: "On behalf of the survivors of Hamlet, I thank you, Lady Hyacinth. Now I can go and save my people."

"We've rested enough, we can set off again," Sasha said, patting his bottom as he stood up.

Just as Veronica and the Frost Adventurers were about to rescue the townspeople, another noisy sound came from the depths of the dungeon.

A large, noisy group of players has arrived.

"Finally arrived! I'm so tired of running around the map!"

"You were still enjoying it the first time you ran, but this is my second time, and I'm really sick of it!"

"Ugh! Can't we just teleport?! Who can stand running around like this?!"

"Holy crap, I heard the people still alive on the surface have all made a fortune! The system's bugged and those monsters just stopped moving! They're just standing there getting slain!"

"Who says it isn't? It's making me feel so awful! Where's the class counselor? I'm not feeling well!"

"However, those goblins are really fast, and that sneaky Travel Frog was carried here by the goblins."

"The plot is moving way too fast! Is the next main storyline already on the surface? Aren't there still so many levels in the dungeon?"

"What's the point of having so many levels? There aren't a single monster to fight, and the first few levels offer absolutely no experience!"

Upon hearing the familiar commotion, Hyacinth also got up and began setting up the teleportation array.

Hyacinth found an auspicious spot, knelt down, and began to pray, because she didn't know how to set up a teleportation array.

"What is Hyacinth doing? Is she also a follower of the Goddess of Light?"

When Hyacinth suddenly began to pray, her movements resembling those of a nun from the Church of Holy Light, Veronica asked Sasha a question.

"I don't know either. Although Hyacinth seems very innocent, she's always been mysterious and hard to understand," Sasha replied with a shrug.

As the hyacinth prayed, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared, and a miniature altar appeared on the auspicious site chosen by the hyacinth.

"What was that?! How did it suddenly appear?! What did the hyacinth do?!" Veronica asked in surprise at the strange altar that had suddenly appeared.

Sasha, however, with considerable experience, advised Veronica against it:

"Don't think, thinking only leads to unhappiness. Ever since I came to Hamlet Town, I've felt as ignorant as a newborn child."

"Hyacinth, what's going on?" Veronica ignored Sasha's advice and chose to get to the bottom of it.

Hyacinth simply shook her head when Veronica asked her question.

"Even allies can't talk about it? Shouldn't we, as allies, understand each other?" Veronica continued to press.

"I don't know," the hyacinth replied when pressed for an answer.

Sasha frowned at Luna's identical answer.

Seeing that Hyacinth was unwilling to talk, Veronica did not force her, after all, the ratman in front of her had done her a favor.

But the newly arrived players were quickly drawn to the altar summoned by the hyacinth.

"So the priest mentor came to set up the teleportation point. No wonder the homebody suddenly went out again."

"Close-up binding... Holy crap! Teleportation costs money?!"

"Wait, why do we still have to make this trip even though they've built a teleportation array?"

"That's normal, isn't it? The first time you have to explore the map before unlocking teleportation, and doesn't it also require binding to your account to teleport?"

"This is my second trip!"

"The main problem is that this map is too far away. It takes a whole day to bind the teleportation array? I really don't know what the game developers were thinking."

"That's already pretty good. What if there wasn't a teleportation array?"

"Sorry, I'm not going to compete to be worse."

"Alright, now that you've bound your account, hurry up and do the quests. The new main quest rewards are pretty good. Defeating Chaos Eggs gives extra experience and gold, and rescuing NPCs also gives you a small amount of gold."

"Heh, NPCs' lives are really worthless."

After binding their teleportation arrays, the players went back to the surface to grind monsters.

Veronica and the Frost Adventurers, who had been waiting for them, were left bewildered in the wind.

However, when Veronica and the others saw the players heading towards the surface, they followed them.

Hyacinth has long been accustomed to the players' behavior.

Seeing that the player had no intention of looking for her, Hyacinth, having nothing else to do, could only find a place to sit down and continue reading, waiting for Shen Yuan's divine revelation.

Seeing this, Gili Gulu also sent goblins to protect the hyacinth.

Although the Goblin God may not need the protection of goblins, this demonstrates the goblins' respect for the god.

As a non-renewable resource, goblins are not so easily pushed forward like players. Shen Yuan will only send out this force at truly critical moments.

As for the local adventurers, they were hardly effective combatants in the face of those Chaos Eggs, so Shen Yuan naturally excluded them.

------

The survivors' stronghold was not far from the surface, and the players quickly rushed to the surface and saw the drastically changed Hamlet Town.

"No, I died a little earlier, what happened?! Didn't you say that the boss won?" Train King stared dumbfounded at the Hamlet Town in front of him.

"We did win, but that was just a minor boss who was guarding the gate. The commotion here seems to be caused by the big boss behind the scenes."

The phase man next to Train King explained.

"Is this really a good thing to do in this game? Showing cutscenes when most players aren't around?"

"Maybe they're afraid of bugs arising from too many people. After all, those humanoid monsters were bugged, allowing those who survived to farm them to their heart's content."

"Damn it! The thought of them having a blast makes me sick!"

Faced with the players' complaints, the organizer, Phase Man, could only pretend not to hear them.

Despite much persuasion, a considerable amount of compensation was raised for the fallen players, as it had been agreed upon beforehand.

However, these compensation payments are significantly less than the income from defeating the stationary guards later on, which has caused dissatisfaction among many players.

However, the players didn't blame Phase Man, after all, who can predict bugs?

The player was simply angry that his brother had driven a Land Rover behind his back.

"But this new map is really something, just like our appearance. If we didn't have to wear camouflage, we could blend in perfectly."

One player commented on the distinctly K-pop-esque town.

"But aren't those Ha people's moving castles enemies?" a new player suddenly noticed.

"It's true, it's a white-name account!"

"They're probably afraid we'll level up quickly, since those houses look like they can't offer any resistance at all."

"That thing seems to be the same as the previous monster army, right?!" A veteran player suddenly realized something.

"Yeah! It really does look like it, but why aren't those Chaos Eggs? And why isn't that background boss in the middle of the town either?"

"Didn't the mission description say that these things were created by some kind of earl?"

"Couldn't this game have laid some groundwork for the plot? And where did that count even come from?"

"I remember now! There must have been some foreshadowing a long time ago! I took on a mission to monitor an NPC a long time ago, and that NPC is the newly introduced Paladin!" Leeroy Jenkins suddenly raised his hand and said.

"Huh? Why didn't you say so sooner?!"

"Stop cursing, stop cursing. The plot of this game is very subtle, and you'll miss a lot if you don't pay attention. Let's focus on the main story. It's a pity that there aren't any dedicated players studying the plot of this game yet."

Phase Man, who also missed a good opportunity, stepped forward to support Leeroy Jenkins, after all, he was the one who brought back Hyacinth and Giggles, and he never expected that the two of them would become so successful.
