Players’ NPC daddy

"You're so dirty."

Blaze couldn't help but exhale, and threw Greenland out directly, then dodged Adam's dagger sideways. The index finger of Adam's dagger fell on the ground, and with just a light touch, an incredible force was transmitted from the finger to the earth.

boom--

Blaze was blown away by the fierce impact. If he was hit directly, the consequences would be disastrous.

Roar--

A dragon roar resounded throughout the city of Anor, and a burly red dragon tore through the dust and pounced on Blaze.

The original sin tank has reached the second stage, bringing Greenland to dragon form, and the next stage is the big red dragon.

Blaze did not hold back and immediately transformed into a silver werewolf, shooting out a beam of burning white light. Greenland did not dodge but opened his mouth to take it head-on.

This is using the [Gluttony Series] to eat Blaze's attack, but again, only that mouth can withstand the attack, if there is a slight deviation it will be torn apart by Blaze's Sunfire Beam.

Blazer marveled at Greenland's endless delicate operations, while Greenland thought he was very handsome, while the people watching the game around him just thought the scene in front of them was extremely eye-catching.

"Wow, it's like catching someone else's vomit in your mouth."

Chapter 718 Hollywood-level acting skills

The battle between Blaze and Greenland can be said to have reached a pitched level. From Blaze's perspective, this was the most difficult and headache-inducing battle he had ever experienced.

Greenland used a variety of skill combinations, turning around and swinging his tail followed by a dragon breath attack, suppressing with the dragon breath while launching wrestling skills with his dragon body.

Even though Blaze saw clearly the skill that Greenland was going to use, he couldn't guess what would happen next, which was quite passive.

After completing the complete form of the Great Red Dragon in Greenland, it went from being difficult to being dangerous.

The monsterized Greenland recalculated its level, and the attribute gap between the two of them suddenly became smaller. This was also the moment of real hard power competition. Blaze basically racked his brains, but was still at a disadvantage under Greenland's offensive.

As for Greenland, her scalp is already tingling.

She has an instinct that the Ripper jokingly calls [NT]. Whenever she thinks of being lazy and intends to use a repetitive skill combination, a feeling of death will come over her.

Blaze was only beaten back by her on the surface, but in fact, Blaze was like hiding under a tortoise shell, and every attack of hers was blocked. Under the tortoise shell was a beast-like look, and if there was a flaw, he would bite directly and kill with a fatal blow.

So tiring, but so refreshing.

Since retiring, Greenland has rarely faced this feeling of being exploited.

The moment the sacredness gauge is full, the sin gauge is cleared.

The perfect six-winged Seraph mode appeared.

"Blaze, let me show you my strongest—"

[This is! Armor of living beings!? ]

"What!?"

Michael's shadow overlapped with Greenland's body, and Greenland's movements instantly stiffened.

Blaze is like a spring that has been compressed to the extreme. As long as the oppressor relaxes for a moment, the spring will burst out with force.

So the moment Greenland froze, Blaze had already moved, and his fist with the roar of a lion went straight to Greenland's face.

Greenland had a blank expression on her face, watching the fists coming at her. Her mind was only thinking of one thing, that is, after she transformed into angel mode, not only her hair would not be messed up, but even her face would not be deformed by the wind, which was really amazing.

As for Michael's interference...

She would like to call it the price of greed and a rubbish game routine. What happens when the player triggers the plot during the battle? Of course, they are forced to stand and watch the plot.

But she would not complain, because to be honest, she was almost exhausted. She was not yet fully familiar with the Great Red Dragon and Michael, nor had she studied them carefully. If they came up with one or two more moves, she would be exhausted.

So she lost now, not because of her poor skills, but because of the force majeure of the forced plot.

Blaze's fist stopped in front of Greenland's face, and just a little bit more, Greenland's head would have exploded like a watermelon.

What made Blaze stop was certainly not Greenland's flaw, but the illusory face overlapping with Greenland's face.

"Audrey!?"

Blaze was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

This should be called Audrey face.

"How many people out there are who look like Audrey?"

"What do you mean by looking like Audrey? It's obvious that you all look like me." Amaterasu said she was offended.

……

For game makers, the most embarrassing thing is to be criticized by NPCs.

So when Blaze complained, there was silence in the [G] conference room, and everyone looked at Glasses except Penguin.

This person, who is called Nuwa by insiders, is the culprit who created Audrey's face, but she feels justified in doing so.

"Each of you write a setting, and each requirement has "this character is extremely beautiful". Then I can only change the characters with repeated appearance descriptions in your settings into similar "most beautiful faces"."

"Our fault!?"

"Why doesn't Marika have Audrey's face?" The kitchen utensil slammed down on the table, causing the water cup on the table to jump. "I clearly wrote beauty into the setting!"

"Because you require a figure over two meters tall, and Audrey's face doesn't fit that figure." Glasses sat calmly in the chair, arguing with the group of scholars, and completely threw the issue of Audrey's face to these geniuses.

This is the consequence of writing settings vaguely.

"Some people, when designing my character, actually wrote that it should be prettier than the character designed by someone else. Isn't this making things difficult for me?"

Except for the confused penguin, everyone present agreed that they should not continue to pursue this problem that is no longer solvable, and should look to the future.

"Don't worry, even if you give me a random description like [most beautiful], I will design a different [most beautiful] based on the background story. I also have my own pride, and this laziness is just to cooperate with your setting."

"Compared to all this, shouldn't the most important thing right now be the World Series?" Glasses raised his hand and knocked on the table, and Penguin immediately cooperated and turned on the projection.

The projection shows the current collection of the twelve beasts. Only the sheep-headed statue and the dog-headed statue in Blaze's hand are left. As long as these two statues are activated, the World Championship will be open.

"Why do you listen to Glasses so much?" Kitchen Utensil lowered his head and whispered to Penguin, "Hurry up and teach her a lesson about her work mistakes!"

Although Penguin was wondering when it would be his turn as the intern education veteran, he answered honestly due to the workplace harassment from Kitchenware.

“So far there have been no omissions.”

"Tsk, that's right. After all, she is responsible for the character's appearance."

The kitchen utensil continued to lower its head unwillingly, while the glasses who had quietly pricked up their ears and paid attention quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then straightened their backs.

"For now, there is no problem. But according to my research on the data, in addition to the NPC's autonomous consciousness, [physiognomy] is also a data that has a great impact on the development of events. Although no players have paid attention to it so far, if something unexpected happens..."

Penguin paused, lowered his voice to the limit, and told Cookware.

"What!? Maybe we have to check the appearance of every NPC!?" Kitchen Utensil covered his mouth, horrified.

That was the worst acting Penguin has ever seen in his life.

“What!? Maybe we have to check the appearance of every NPC!?” The man with glasses stood up suddenly, horrified.

It was the most amazing acting that Penguin had ever seen in his life. His pupils fluttered, his lips trembled, and all the color drained from his face. This performance was Hollywood-level, except that it wasn't acting.

Chapter 719 The Devil is in the Details

People are just like leaves, no two are exactly alike. Even the mass-produced centaurs in Chiron's laboratory will change in different directions as they grow up because they fall in love with different partners.

But living beings are living beings, and God seems to be another matter.

Michael's facial appearance can be said to be similar to Audrey, no, in terms of seniority, he is exactly the same as Amaterasu, but his temperament is different.

One looks silly, the other looks more holy.

But before that, there is something more important.

Blaze grabbed Greenland's hand and shook it hard.

"Are you possessed by an evil spirit as well?"

"Evil, evil spirit!?" Michael, who was overlapping Greenland, widened his eyes. This was the most humiliating title he had ever heard, second only to "Birdman".

"Evil spirit messengers are attracted to each other." Greenland nodded slightly.

Very good, this urgent battle to decide the winner was interrupted by another plot, so it was a draw. We are all adults, and the martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing.

"Anyway, let's leave this place first."

The Eden Six were watching closely not far away. Among them, only the little angel was an upright person who had high standards for his words and deeds. It would be better to say that the little angel was an abstinence NPC rather than a player.

The other five are serious Chaos characters, and they will control their desires when facing NPCs for the sake of reputation. But when facing players... we are all the same, and you should know exactly what we are going to do.

Greenland had no intention of telling the Eden Six about the conversation between Michael and Blaze. Now that the World Championships were getting closer, of course, they had to seize the opportunity to strengthen themselves as much as possible.

"That's true." Blaze nodded in agreement. If nothing else, he could already feel the restlessness coming from the surroundings.

Those are the Crusaders of the Holy Cross Kingdom. This group of people specializes in hunting heretics and can be quite unfriendly.

"My friends, see you in the World Championship!"

Greenland said goodbye to the six people in the distance gracefully with a sacred face.

Only the little angel waved his arms vigorously, showing his satisfaction with the cooperation from his body language to his expression, while the other five people raised their thumbs and stroked their necks.

"Ahaha~ This is the first time in my life that I've seen someone predict his or her own death." Greenland had a calm expression. She originally wanted to attack with her middle finger, but the opponent had many more middle fingers than her.

"Don't let me see you in the battle royale, or you won't even be qualified to enter the elimination round."

Blaze sighed helplessly. The relationship between strangers was always so unpredictable. They were teammates with perfect understanding one second, but mortal enemies the next.

Whether it was Blaze, Greenland, or even the Eden Six, they all thought that the matter had been resolved neatly and just walked away.

But everything that happens in this world is closely connected. Even a stone placed casually under a tree could be a special communication method of an assassination group.

This is the butterfly effect, and also cause and effect.

And everything they did in the city of Anor was planting a huge seed in the Holy Cross Kingdom.

Greenland felt a little nervous for some reason. It might be because she had been online for too long, or it might be because the [NT]-like foreboding was telling her something.

She subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the Holy Cross Theocracy, and the big red dragon tattoo hidden under the cat-beast's fur began to beat like a heart.

She seemed to have laid some kind of foreshadowing for herself, but her brain, which had been online for more than 24 hours, was no longer able to sort out the clues.

"Forget it! Anyway, if you notice something is wrong, just assassinate the Pope."

Greenland heartlessly withdrew his gaze from the Holy Cross State, looking forward to the special plot that would happen between Michael and Blaze.

……

In the player forums, the discussion about the Holy Cross Kingdom has never been high, and the entire huge kingdom has always been shrouded in a vague shadow.

Devout believers are like docile sheep, eating the grass that is becoming less fertile. The fences are shaky and ferocious beasts are waiting outside. Not to mention, there are wolves in sheep's clothing among the sheep.

It is clearly a religious kingdom, but it feels like the end of an empire.

This is probably the reason why "Godlock" has a wide audience. Many players who are not interested in adventure and battle but like war will choose the Holy Cross Kingdom as the starting point and enjoy the feeling of the crumbling empire.

It is worth mentioning that none of the players joined in order to continue the Holy Cross Theocracy. They all felt that it was awkward to put the two elements of religion and empire together.

Players are looking forward to witnessing the collapse of the empire. Looking at most games, [collapse of the empire] almost means the end of the game, but it is different in "Godlock".

The death of a giant is like a whale falling, which can bring life to all things. If the Holy Cross Kingdom collapses, it will be easy to get a profession like [Lord/City Lord] that is almost impossible to get.

Even the Freemasons, the largest guild in the Holy Cross and the defender of the Holy Cross, have done nothing but undermine the power of the bishops so that they can quickly gain the trust of the people when the empire collapses.

But so far, no one is willing to be the one who causes the collapse of the empire, and basically everyone is waiting.

But after the [Great Red Dragon Incident], for some unknown reason, an inexplicable atmosphere permeated the towns of the Holy Cross Kingdom.

The most intuitive manifestation is that the believers' faith has become more devout, because the civil unrest caused by successive events has also disappeared under this more devout faith.

Except for the players who were planning to shout "Follow me with gun in hand", most of the players did not react much to this matter. They just thought that the Holy Cross Kingdom could not collapse according to the plot, so the convenient setting of faith was used to stabilize the Holy Cross Kingdom.

Occasionally, players noticed that when believers were praying in the morning meeting, the statue of the Virgin Mary emitted a faint light.

【Has this happened before? 】

[Maybe, but I just didn’t notice it.]

Even if a player really went up and touched it out of curiosity, there would be no reaction and soon no one cared.

In the white holy city, in the hall covered with bright red carpet, the withered old man sitting on the Pope's throne in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary was as if he was asleep and there was no movement.

The statue of the Virgin Mary flickered regularly, without any sacred feeling, but rather like some kind of machine.
