Players’ NPC daddy

For a moment, the only sound in the room was the bubbling sound of instant noodles cooking in the pot.

Chapter 240 The conspiracy behind the lively activities

Blaze became the supervisor and security guard of the Vertical Hell Teleport Tower.

Monsters in the Vertical Hell are incredibly obsessed with footholds, and their sense of territory is also very strong. Once a foothold loses its swarm of monsters, new swarms of monsters will swarm in.

Fortunately, the Supreme Prince's army of undead warriors is huge in number, so Blaze does not need to face these monsters alone.

The construction team from the [Fairy Kingdom] arrived two days later. The person in charge was a foreigner named Andy. She wore glasses and looked like a cute young girl, but her voice was that of a middle-aged man with an extremely strong voice.

The occasional frown and small facial movements like twitching the nose all give off the feeling of a middle-aged bald uncle.

Andy's appearance solved Blaze's doubts for many years, that is, what was in the stranger's warehouse?

Simply put, there was an unimaginable amount of "junk," meaning anything useless for improving combat effectiveness. Tables, chairs, bottles, and jars—with over twenty strangers in total, the pile of stuff was as high as a small mountain.

The reason why the warehouse needs to be emptied is that when creative magic, that is, earth magic, is used to make building bricks, corresponding space needs to be left in the warehouse.

However, the bricks used by the construction troops of the [Fairy Kingdom] are particularly peculiar. They are like the building blocks that children play with, except that they are super-large building blocks, and the construction troops build them as if they were playing a game of building blocks.

"Um, can I ask a question?" Blaze said to Andy, "Why hasn't the Flying Brick appeared recently?"

Andy sniffed and replied casually, "He said he had a cold and needed to rest for two days."

"You have a cold, so you really need to rest."

Blaze nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the other team.

"Then why are you all here?"

"Why?" Greenland pinched his chin, thought for a long time, and answered seriously, "Because we decided to cling to the [Fairy Kingdom], ugh, to form an alliance and face the upcoming guild war together."

It is said that all guilds are allowed to participate in the guild war by default. During the guild war, a teleportation crystal will be generated around each guild's territory, including Greenland's guild.

It was a shame to say that after signing the contract with Hebi, they had acquired a very nice guild territory, with a safe location and beautiful scenery. If it were discovered, there would probably be a lot of people coming to grab it, but their guild only had six people, and only allowed evil strangers to join.

Once an alliance is established, the teleportation crystal will be marked as the same, and the default location will be the largest guild. Greenland shamelessly negotiated with the Fairy Kingdom, but originally did not expect it to be successful, after all, they did not have many contacts.

"As a former professional player, I was chosen and offered to test a new product in exchange for a chance to join the League."

Greenland patted his chest proudly.

"So the first thing we do as allies is to assist in the security of this most important defense project."

"This new product... is it the latest VR gaming pod launched by [G]'s investment company?" Jack the Ripper, who was rarely conscious, said beside him. "I remember that thing was a bit expensive. Do you have the audacity to ask for one as a gift under the pretext of a free trial?"

"..."

Greenland fell silent, while Jack the Ripper covered his mouth and burst into laughter.

"Yes."

"There's nothing I can do! I've already retired! My personal computer has been dismantled and turned into spare parts for the next generation!" Greenland blushed and waved his fists wildly. "For a professional player like me, if I don't have a specially adjusted gaming console, I'd be like you men wearing the wrong size condom. I'd feel uncomfortable all over and wouldn't be able to even exert 80% of my strength!"

"Humph, after all, you're just jealous that I have the latest model gaming console!"

"I can place an order now." Jack the Ripper, a genius surgeon in a private hospital.

"I've actually been following the news on this topic, so I've already made a reservation." A famous criminal police officer - the cannibal.

"I can buy it at public expense in the name of training." A well-known martial artist - The Shocking Clown.

"I bought it." Claire, an artist who has her own art exhibition.

"Who do you think put you on the test list? It was me." The sales manager of a giant company - the Chainsaw Demon.

Greenland shuddered all over and raised his finger tremblingly, pointing at himself.

"I, I mean, am I the one who works the longest hours here, gets paid the least, and contributes nothing to society?"

Everyone was silent, but that was what hurt the most.

Greenland felt like the world was falling apart in an instant. Those friends who complained in the group every day that they could only eat instant noodles this month were secretly eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks every day. She was the only one who was actually eating instant noodles while complaining.

"Xiao, the clown is actually me!?"

Blaze pondered for a while and felt it was time to interrupt and comfort Greenland.

"You just have a cold."

Greenland lay on the ground and didn't move. It was obvious that the cold was of no use.

"I remember that the career mode of that new product needs time to run in. You'd better start using it right away." Jack the Ripper seemed to remember something and stepped on Greenland's butt.

"The guild war hasn't started yet, but the warm-up has already begun."

"And I heard from a patient who fainted that many unidentified people are attacking members of prestigious guilds."

"So what?" Greenland turned his head to the side. Although he still had a look of despair on his face that was enough to make people feel the sophistication of the game, his tone was full of confidence.

"I'm a former professional. Even if I use one-tenth of my strength, I can still defeat eighty percent of the people."

"That's the crux of the matter." Jack the Ripper said with some concern, "It is said that those guys who attack everywhere are [professionals]."

Blaze saw Greenland put on the most serious expression he had ever seen.

……

On a street in the Assyrian Kingdom, one of the allied nations of the Giant Kingdom, Johnny Depp, dressed in a suit and a butler's attire, leisurely browsed a flower shop. Imagining the little girl's surprise at receiving flowers as a gift, Depp's hideous, skeletal face crackled with a mimetic laugh.

But the beautiful fantasy did not last long, as several people in black robes surrounded him.

"Former [Azazel] Ninth Siddeup."

One of them took out a wanted list and seemed to be comparing it with something.

"I've paid the fine, so I'm no longer a red-lister. Besides..." Depp doesn't have eyes, but he couldn't help rolling his eyes. "Kids, wearing black robes in broad daylight is not only uncool, it's stupid."

"If you want to hide your identity, it's best to choose the [Wanderer's White Robe] with the [Hermes' Traveling Cap]."

"Depp, the former ninth seat of Azazel and the third seat during Azazel's heyday." One of the men in black robes lifted his hood, revealing a basic face that had not been shaped.

"You are our best test subject."

Chapter 241 Mass Production of Professional Level Strength

Depp had recently become a successful player, having surrendered all his assets to clear his name and even joined a casual guild. But with the Guild War approaching, he couldn't help but recall his youth, his first Guild War.

At that time, [Azazel] was quite large, gathering a group of lawless players.

Simply put, they are specialized player killers. Almost everyone reaches the maximum level by killing other players to gain experience points, and all the special equipment on their bodies is also robbed.

Notorious, but also famous.

At that time, [Azazel] was very romantic. Everyone called themselves fireworks and enjoyed blowing themselves up and making other players applaud.

Killing a lot of people in the guild war is just to prepare for a grand fireworks show.

Depp, already a corporate slave at the time, got to play Goldrock because he heard his crappy boss and colleagues were playing the game while he was working crazy overtime. He was so angry that he signed up for an account.

He originally wanted to urge them to work offline in the game, but after killing his superiors and colleagues when he was only LV10, he became addicted to this feeling and has been using this kind of thing to vent his stress ever since.

At the time, he was challenging himself to destroy a small guild, and happened to bump into the leader of the same group, Azazel, who was also planning to destroy a small guild. So he joined Azazel and was promoted to the third seat.

Afterwards, [Azazel] won the first place in the guild war and became the target of concentrated fire. After the exciting battle that was like a fireworks show, most of the members surrendered quickly, reopened their accounts and changed the way of playing. The remaining people were of mixed quality.

Azazel's peak period ended with the end of the guild war.

Depp also became a lone wolf player after that.

The reason why he suddenly recalled this incident was because a group of Chuunibyou players, wearing black robes in broad daylight, attacked him by pretending to be an organization with some huge conspiracy.

And the goal is obviously the subsequent guild war.

"I'm no longer a member of Azazel, and the guild I'm in now is a casual guild. I'm not a threat to anyone." Depp placed the bouquet of flowers he had bought on a bench nearby.

Lucy doesn't like things taken out of the warehouse. She always says that things that have been put into the warehouse are like some kind of preserved items.

"We long to collect your combat skills and prove our strength on you."

Depp, who was changing his equipment, was stunned and sighed helplessly.

"You're here. Are you adults? Are you working? I can't imagine a normal person saying something so childish. Even role-playing..."

Depp suddenly disappeared from the spot, and the cold sickle swept towards a player watching the show nearby, while the chain connected to the tail of the sickle swept towards all the players around him like a whip.

It was common for gamer killers to be chased and intercepted, and Depp had long been accustomed to it. Especially those gamer killers, who were always keen to play a certain role, so he had his own way to deal with it.

The first thing is to sneak attack these guys when they are talking nonsense, and then sneak attack all the players around them.

Normally, Depp's move would be enough to take down two or three people, but...

"As expected of Azazel's third place during his prime, he handles the situation with ease even when surrounded."

That was also a player using the basic face, only LV85, but he used two fingers to catch his attack, catching the full-strength sneak attack from this full-level player.

Depp's eyes widened in disbelief.

"【Spiritual Finger】!?"

An exclusive skill for the martial arts series professions, it is rare that it can ignore attributes. Once the skill is activated, any physical attack can be negated. Coupled with the chic movements, it can be said to be an extremely cool skill.

But this was undoubtedly an acrobatic skill, valid only on the second joints of the index and middle fingers, and the timing required to activate it was extremely demanding, with only 0.2 to 0.4 seconds. Ninety-nine percent of players who attempted this move either lost two fingers or their lives.

Legend has it that even professional players find it difficult to use this trick well before the engine is warmed up.

But this guy who appeared out of nowhere actually used the [Telepathic Finger] casually, and Depp could be sure that he launched a sneak attack at the moment when the other party was distracted.

I didn't expect it to be caught, and...

Depp took a step back and looked around solemnly. Every surrounder blocked the attack with ease.

"Was it a fluke? Or..."

Depp clicked his tongue. He was surrounded tightly, but even though he attacked him by surprise, the others did not take action. Instead, they crossed their arms and watched the fun.

This is like a trapped beast fighting.

"Dinner time is almost here, and I don't want to waste any time."

Depp took out a mask and put it on his face. A strange life force burst out and muscles grew.

【Resurrection Mask】

Legend has it that this mask, crafted by an emperor seeking immortality, features patterns inscribed with phoenix blood, symbolizing rebirth. Believing that forced continuation of life was unnatural, the emperor chose immortality through rebirth after death. Only the deceased can carry it, drawing upon it the life force that restores their bodies.

"Godlock" adheres quite closely to the settings of living creatures in some places. For example, the flexible movement of the body relies on muscles, while dead creatures with only skeletons will have stiffness and delays in movement.

After wearing the resurrection mask, he can temporarily transform from a skeleton into a ghoul. In this way, Depp can unleash his full strength.

but……

"This guy is a bit abnormally strong!"

Depp went all out from the start, but he was immediately at a disadvantage. No matter what combination of skills he used, the opponent had only one solution: to react and dodge at the moment he was about to be hit.

The fight attracted attention, and the casual guild he joined noticed that he was being besieged and immediately rushed over.

"Stay away from Depp!"

"do not come!"

Depp immediately shouted to stop them. After just a few exchanges, he understood their behavior. These guys came to show off—no, to showcase their strength, they had no qualms about not attacking low-level players.

Once the members of the casual guild arrive, they will become the target of the players nearby who are eager to try.

As expected, these players in black robes immediately took action, ruthlessly using extremely difficult juggling skills to slaughter and humiliate the members of the casual guild.

"Hahaha, control the opponent's health well, the combo feels really good."

"Yo yo, try harder and you'll hit me, hahahaha..."

"What is your purpose?!"

"I just want to try out my professional-level skills in this popular game." The black-robed player easily caught Depp and smashed Depp's mask with one punch.

"Professional level!?" Depp's eyes twitched, and he rolled backwards with difficulty to keep steady.

The surroundings were a picture of hell, with casual players becoming punching bags for these guys to show off their skills. But he hadn't expected to receive such a desperate response from a professional. One or two would be fine, but more than ten would be too much.

"Damn it, someone..."

At this moment, a figure in a white robe fell from the sky and landed heavily on the ground.
