Abnormal creatures' communication group

They laughed and made noises, as if celebrating the victory that was about to come.

334 Task Startup and Chat Group Determination Mode

In fact, this war had nothing to do with those poor civilians, whether before the war started, during the war, or after the war ended.

They could neither decide the direction of the war nor were they aware of the matter. The nobles kept the matter secret, even though this deception and concealment could not last long.

They don't want the slaves in their territory to run away because of such a small disturbance, run far away and never come back. That would make the insects very sad.

At this moment, the ghost just calmly opened the chat group and ignored any disputes in the outside world.

[God of the Void] Ghost: I want to start a mission

[World Manipulator] Avid Architect: Holy shit, is that true? Can we really get involved? I always feel that with our strength, if we go in and get involved in your battle, we'll either be crushed to dust or be crushed to dust.

[Iron Man] Ordinary rich people: That's you, please don't take me in. My progress has never stopped. Those steel mechas can definitely bring people the greatest sense of security.

[World Manipulator] Fanatical Master Architect: It’s not Tony Stark, why don’t you take the lead and test it out?

Iron Man: Ordinary Rich Man: Huh? What? I'm not planning on going there.

【World Manipulator】Fanatical Master Architect: What the hell are you talking about? You speak so passionately, I thought you were ready to sacrifice yourself.

The contempt in Steve's words was almost overflowing. Tony Stark made a prompt decision and confronted the other party without giving in. As for coming over, he might have already made a name for himself with the Void God. Wouldn't it be courting death if he came over? At least he would not consider these things until the seventh generation of his anti-god armor was born.

[Traveler] Have you seen my sister? : Speaking of which, it seems we haven't been to the world of ghosts yet, not even one.

[Judge] A skeleton with only one bone: There's no need to use such a cautious tone, Kong, you're not mistaken, no, it seems that we have indeed never been to the world of ghosts. Although I'm not enthusiastic or curious about other worlds, if you've been there, remember to tell me what it looked like, or take a few photos, or just open the chat group's built-in camera to record the video, and let us take a look together.

【Traveler】Have you seen my sister? : Hey, isn't Sans going to come over?

[Judge] A bony skeleton: In this damn weather, don't even think about making me move one step out of the bed.

[Equilibrium Scientist] Great Scientist: Can I go over there? It's okay if I'm lagging behind. I don't want to fall too far behind. I've already missed a lot of missions.

[Chess Player] The Nameless Person Nailed in the Coffin: Ghost? Why are you suddenly thinking of issuing a quest? Do you need our help, or are you just issuing a quest?

[God of the Void] Ghost: Issue tasks and get points. You have helped a lot, now it’s time to repay you.

[Chess Player] The unknown person nailed in the coffin: That's not so bad. After all, the points are not paid by us. The help from the ghosts is real. If it weren't for you, we might not be able to complete many missions so smoothly, or even suffer casualties.

[World Manipulator] Avid Architect: Go if you want to, but don't learn bad habits from Stark! It's okay to talk about it, but in reality, no one understands.

[God of the Void] Ghost: This is a war, participants should not interfere. I simply don't like this kind of help.

[Chess Player] The fanatic nailed in the coffin: I always feel that this mission will be the same as the last one, with fixed personality restrictions, but if the ghost says so, I probably have figured out the mission routine of this chat group.

[Iron Man] Ordinary Rich Man: Really? Come on!

【World Manipulator】Fanatical Architect: Really? Come on!

【Seven Deadly Sins of Gluttony】SIX: I want to go.

【Card Master】Little Red Riding Hood: Add me in.

She had tasted the sweetness of points. At least she had finally stepped into the damn forest, instead of moving forward with a tattered wooden sword as before, and then returning to the starting point uncontrollably.

[Abnormality Shelter] Today's abnormality is out of control again: If you need me, please take me with you. I really want to see more of the world instead of being trapped in the small corner of my own world.

[Sunshine Commander] Sunshine Porter: Why are the newcomers so lively and active this time? I won't join in the fun. Points aren't attractive enough to me anymore. If there weren't many people, I might still come and sign up, but now that there are so many people, I won't compete with others.

[Chess Player] The fanatic who was nailed in the coffin: I initially thought that the measurement standard for tasks was the individual, and things that the individual could not solve could be posted as tasks, so as to seek help from other people in the group. Later, I found that this possibility was not high. I prefer that the task is that the chat group will calculate the individual's failure probability, and when it exceeds a certain value, they will choose to open the task. However, if the ghost may apply successfully, then I think the application for the task is not measured by personal strength, but by the progress of our unlocking abilities with points in the chat group, or a unified measurement standard. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why ghosts can trigger tasks. After all, according to the ghost, people in the past were not even good at making soy sauce, they just needed to watch.

[World Manipulator] Fanatical Architect: I feel a little dizzy watching this.

【Traveler】Have you seen my sister? : I feel a little dizzy looking at her too.

[Chess Player] The nameless person nailed in the coffin: Did I not explain it clearly enough? Do you want me to explain it in more detail?

[World Manipulator] Fanatical Architect: No, no, no, no, no. You just need to know about this kind of thing and analyze it. After all, we are just watching for fun.

[Ghost used the weekly emergency privilege: Mission (completely destroy all resistance of another fallen nation)

Mission Reward: 10000

Limit number of people: (0/2)

Do you want to accept it?】

[World Manipulator] Avid Architect: Damn, why are there only two spots? Then I won't go. Let's give the newcomers a chance.

[Chess Player] The unknown person nailed in the coffin: It seems that the possibility is similar to what I guessed. There is no possibility of ghost failure. After all, there are only 10,000 points, and there are only two places... I won't go either, right?

At this moment, Xiaoliu, who was far away in another world, clicked to accept the task without hesitation, and then the 0/2 on the screen turned into 1/2.

[Card Master] Little Red Riding Hood: Damn, who is this? Sorry, I still have people to save, and I'm short on points. I have to get through.

[World Shelter] Today's Abnormality is out of control again: In that case, I will not get involved. I wish you all a happy mission.

335 This Kingdom

Mai.

This is the name of this kingdom, and also the general term for their race. If the beast tamer who had long dominated the arena championship before the ghost came had the opportunity to see this country, he would probably find them so familiar, because some of them look almost identical.

Except for the difference in armor and weapons.

They have two long, curved tentacles on their heads and bodies that can carry objects several times their own weight. Unlike the people of Hallownest, they don't wear uniform masks. Their only commonality is the same weapons and armor, as if they were carved from the same mold.

The social class system in this country is strict, and the path to advancement is fixed. Soldiers will always be soldiers, civilians will always be civilians, the king will always be the king, and the nobles will naturally always be nobles.

Even if the king might give birth to a descendant of commoner blood, it only meant that they produced an unqualified product that should be discarded.

The strict concept of bloodline has spread to the bones of every insect, and obeying the orders of the higher level is a matter of course.

At this moment, the crowded and narrow streets were swarming with insects.

They came from that side in a bustling crowd, and left from here, those who went forward were on the left, and those who turned back were on the right.

Everywhere you look, everything is in perfect order.

Each insect is like an indispensable part of a precision instrument. Their high obedience and unity make this crowded and narrow city exquisite and smooth.

But are those bugs really irreplaceable? Quite the contrary. In this country, they are the cheapest and most easily replaceable resource. How would you deal with a broken screw? Of course you replace it.

As for those broken screws that were replaced? Of course, they are thrown away.

Or perhaps the waste could be recycled again, completely melted down and recast, but in short, there is probably no way to get it back into this precision instrument.

After all, why go through the trouble of forging a broken screw into a good one when you can just replace it with a new one?

This is the order that exists in this country.

In the spacious palace that was not gorgeous, the empress, who looked old and frail, glanced majestically at her subjects. She wore a black silk robe with gold thread trimmings, but no matter how luxurious her clothes were, they could not hide the drooping corners of the empress's mouth. No matter how solemn and majestic her posture was, it could not erase the anger in her heart and a trace of fear about the unknown.

"Can someone tell me what's going on?"

The sentinels never returned, and there was no news of the exiles who should have returned at the prescribed time. If it were not for their bloodline that destined them to rarely defect and if they had not had many contacts before today, she would have thought that those people would learn from their ancestors and commit heinous acts of rebellion.

However, such a loud rebuke only made the people below tremble in fear. The absolute suppression from their bloodline made them dare not have any thoughts of rebellion, which naturally wiped out their bloodiness and character.

"Your Majesty..." Perhaps he could not bear the pressure, or perhaps he was the unlucky guy pushed out by those nobles, so he had to speak.

Everyone understood that the queen, who was under pressure, just needed an outlet, a target to scold and divert her anxiety, and among the nobles present, there had to be one who had to be the outlet.

So the unlucky guy just endured the Queen's expectant gaze and spoke tremblingly.

"Perhaps our exploration of that country has failed. Perhaps, perhaps, we can consider other solutions. As for those who are already dead, yes, they should be dead. Perhaps we can choose to abandon them. After all, even if they were alive, even if all of them were alive, their rebellion would not cause any trouble."

"Idiot, who wants to listen to your boring words? Do you think I don't know?" The queen's face suddenly turned gloomy. She tightly grasped the armrests of her chair, and her uncontrollable anger was revealed.

"Can anyone tell me what happened to that ruined kingdom? Wasn't it reduced to ruins and then rebuilt? A newly rebuilt and weak country makes you so scared?!"

The scolded bug lowered his head without saying a word. After all, this was already the best outcome.

He would rather bear the cost of being scolded and treated as an ignorant fool than to propose some plans that might be feasible. Regardless of whether the Queen would adopt them or not, if they failed, it would be unknown whether he could survive. If they succeeded, that would be all, just some verbal praise.

After all, in this country where the path to advancement is blocked, it has become a common consensus to do what one should do and not to interfere in other things.

Perhaps because she was a little dry-mouthed from cursing, the queen stopped this meaningless action. What she hoped to hear was any bug telling her that she should conquer more. As the only queen of this country, the fact that there was no resistance or even opposition had already made her inner desires expand infinitely.

She naturally thought that such an extremely offensive act of testing was just a trivial matter, and she didn't care about the sacrificed insects, even if they were her subjects. She just thought that the other party's behavior had offended her, so it was natural to launch an attack.

So she glared at those tactless guys again and cursed them in frustration.

"Why are you all still kneeling? If you can't give a satisfactory answer tomorrow, what are you talking about? Why are you attending this banquet?"

However, no matter how angry she was, she would not dismiss those people from their posts. After all, nobles were still nobles, and there was no comparison between them and those dead civilians.

"Queen." The insect that made the sound had a broken antenna on its head, a long white beard dragging on the ground, and was wearing a simple black robe.

He called out to the bug that was about to turn around and leave, staring at it with tired but kind eyes.

The queen's heart softened unconsciously when she saw the other person's gaze. After all, the other person was her mentor, the guide who had witnessed her grow from childhood to adulthood. To her, the other person was probably the only soft spot in her heart.

"I have been trying to dissuade you from this out-of-control nation, but as you can see, I have failed. We should socialize in a friendly manner rather than engage in rude probing. Such actions will sooner or later bring us disaster. Stop it. Do not start another war. The land here is vast enough for us to survive."

The Queen sighed, looked at her mentor who had not made any progress, and clapped her hands.

"Guards, take my mentor down to rest. He is already old and too decrepit. He should have a good rest."

In the end, this banquet, which was half discussion and half entertainment, ended in a farce at the end. Unbeknownst to them, a large army on an expedition was about to arrive.

336 This misunderstanding has not been resolved

When Little Red Riding Hood came over, she was startled by the not-so-large but extremely solemn and dignified group of knights in the distance. The silver armor still shone even under the wind and sand. Then she couldn't help but look at them with admiration.

Who hasn't dreamed of becoming a knight of justice? At least for Little Red Riding Hood, the handsome armor, the handsome cape, the handsome weapons, and the upright posture were indeed her dreams.

She clicked on the system and subconsciously wanted to make this scene into a card.

[The Void Knights are currently being recorded. Recording is complete. Do you want to spend 5000 points to complete the physical card conversion?]

Little Red Riding Hood took a look at the expensive 5000 points, then silently turned off the system as if she had seen nothing.

As for Six, she was not affected at all. She continued to follow the ghost closely, completely ignoring everything else, including Green's anger that had almost turned into substance.

【Iron Man】Ordinary rich man: Hey, girl, are you there?

【Card Master】Little Red Riding Hood:?

Iron Man: Ordinary Rich Man: Could you describe something for me, or ask me something? If it's convenient, could you please turn on the live stream? And then ask the ghost some questions for me. If you could ask the tall guy in the white armor next to me, that would be even better. Of course, this isn't free work. I, Tony Stark, have always been generous, so I'll pay you well.

【Card Master】Little Red Riding Hood: Can I use points as well?

Iron Man: Ordinary Rich Man: Of course, as long as your price is reasonable, why not? Good girl, I appreciate your honesty.

【Card Master】Little Red Riding Hood: 1000 points?

[Iron Man] Ordinary rich man: If you can ask for what I want, there is naturally no problem. If not, I will give you 500 points as compensation. I have always been generous in this matter.

【Card Master】Little Red Riding Hood: I won’t ask questions that are too excessive or too intrusive.

[Iron Man] Ordinary Rich Man: Okay, listen, girl, isn't this a matter of course? Or did last time give you some strange impression of me? I can't let others do something offensive. Offensive behavior is more interesting when done in person. However, I hope your video is only available to me privately, because some of the things I want to clarify may not be understood by others in the group. If they misunderstand, it will be a big problem.

【Card Master】Little Red Riding Hood: I will.

Little Red Riding Hood took a look at the request made by the other party, then looked at the tallest silver knight in the distance, and walked over without thinking.

"Silver Knight, I'm curious about your name?"

Although this question was not the other party's request, she didn't mind taking this opportunity to satisfy her personal desires. Well, she admitted that she really liked the armor and cloak on the other party, which was simply cool.

"Pure." Purity also didn't mind answering questions from its ghost friend, and it wouldn't be as awkward as Green.

Tony Stark, who was watching the video at the moment, took notes quickly.

The Silver Knights, whose leader was purely suspected, looked very neat in their movements, like boring sculptures, but their discipline was indeed strict. Although some of their knights were clearly seen shaking their limbs, it was still unknown whether they were truly alive. It was unknown whether some simple teasing would distract them, or whether they would remain loyal to the previous order until an order was given.

"Um, what about your fellow knights? I thought you guys should have a cool name for your order!"

"The Void Knights."

When Tony Stark heard this, he immediately quickened his writing speed, and the expression on his face became increasingly gloomy.

This armor, this cloak, this dress, no wonder that god could deceive so many people. After all, both ghosts and this knight order that belongs only to the abyss are extremely deceptive.

However, one thing he could be sure of now was that such a huge order of knights really belonged to that god. He didn't know whether they believed in and worshipped the god, and then formed this order of knights, or whether this order of knights had already existed and was only named after the belief in this god.

It seemed like Little Red Riding Hood was asking for him.

"What a cool name! How did you come up with this handsome name!" Little Red Riding Hood showed a positive attitude. Even though she felt a certain degree of shame about the task, she would not refuse. Just kidding, out of 1000 points, she only earned about one point a week.
