The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 542: The Crownless Deity

The trailer, which was less than three minutes long, had ended.

Even though there was not much information provided, the essential segment of the newest version — the BOSS was still delivered.

Annan’s eldest brother, Dmitri, the eldest son of Austere-Winter’s Grand Duke, appeared in the player’s eyes.

Annan took this matter into consideration. After the players scattered around the world, there was still a chance to run into Thoreau Nick and Vladmir. So knowing what the boss looked like in advance would benefit them.

As for the “material” delivered in this trailer, Annan had seen them with his own eyes.

He extracted these materials from his memory and performed simple editing. Thoreau Nick and Vladmir became traitors who seized the sacred bone’s power and betrayed the Austere-Winter Dukedom.

Vladmir gave off the impression of the Don in the mafia, and the stooped Thoreau Nick looked like a murderous lunatic.

Of course, Annan knew there was a deeper reason behind Vladmir’s betrayal of the Austere-Winter Family. However, the matters involved were tough to explain in a few words. For the time being, Annan would draw a framework in the matter and let the players investigate them in person.

After all, the players would be more trusting of the information that they had personally investigated.

Anyway, those two were indeed villains.

It was better to let the players recognize their faces first and simply understand that “this is the boss of this chapter. Don’t confront them directly after seeing them”. Then, Annan would put the players in the underground world and let them roam freely.

In addition to raising the level, Annan would also have time to go to different cities to investigate this matter through the subway.

So, Annan issued a new main mission to all players who watched the trailer.

[You have acquired the main mission: Wheel of Fortune · Initiation.]

[Mission requirement: Form an elite squad and arrive at ‘Bone Farm’ before July 1st (0/1).]

[Special requirement 1 (normal difficulty): When all squad members reach Bronze Rank, this mission is completed. When this goal is achieved, you may receive the mission “Courage of the Novices”.]

[Special requirement 2 (hard difficulty): When all squad members reach Silver Rank, this mission is completed. The mission “True Courage” can be accepted when this goal is achieved.]

[Special requirement 3 (distorted difficulty): When all squad members reach Gold Rank, this mission is completed. When this goal is achieved, you may receive the mission “Along with Me”.]

For the players entering this world in the first and second phases, it was not difficult to reach the hard difficulty as long as they did not die too many times. Even the new players who were more efficient could attain Silver Rank within four months.

As for the “distorted” difficulty, it was just for show.

Annan did not expect the players to advance to the Gold Rank within four months.

After all, a strong and pure desire was required for the Gold Rank advancement. This condition might stop a large number of players. If they did not treat this world as the real world, they would not be able to reach the Gold Rank.

Their origins determined their “inner demons” could only come from another world. This meant that the players had to achieve a perfect balance between the two worlds.

It was necessary to have a strong “ascension desire” in the real world and at the same time to be serious about this world and treat it as a second life.

Still, I should put this in for the time being.

Just think of it as a challenge for the pro players.

After all, the Silver Rank goal is too simple. Many people have achieved it now.

Four months…

I can’t have the players sit idly by.

There needs to be some game content for them.

What if there is a boss, right?.jpg

The players were excited about the abundance of dungeon instances in the underground world.

After the teleportation waypoint was established, the players teleported down one after another.

Except for the players whose teleportation waypoint was soon to be released and faced delays, the rest had teleported to the Sporeggar Mill together.

After seeing the more than 70 transcenders arriving one after another, Nieusel realized that “Secret Eye” was indeed serious.

After all, the group, including Annan or Lin Yiyi, did not repeatedly emphasize to Nieusel that “we still have a lot of reinforcements” during this period. Even Nieusel himself forgot about this matter afterward.

Nieusel looked back now on this matter.

He believed that Annan and the rest did not emphasize or repeat this matter because they thought it was supposedly so from the bottom of their hearts. No one thought of it as surprising.

The reason being everyone in the “Secret Eye” did not find their travel over thousands of miles to the underground world to help and purify the nightmares worth boasting about repeatedly!

However, in Nieusel’s perception, that was an extremely noble deed.

The upright deities’ priests used their lives to fulfill this mission unswervingly, so they won the respect of the people and the attention of the political level.

As for what the Silver Sire’s priests do to them, what did the Elegant Elder’s priests do to them?

Ordinary people did not know the difference between upright and false deities.

For them, the biggest difference was that “the priests of upright deities will actively purify nightmares”, while the priests of false deities will care for themselves first.

These people from the Secret Eye were like upright deities’ priests who did not serve any deities.

Or, instead, that was what Nefertari had told him.

“The Seventh Luminary” worshiped by the Sun Council was “the Crownless Deity”.

If there was no Nefertari when the players arrived, Nieusel might even wonder what kind of tricks Lin Yiyi’s group did in Sporeggar Mill to allow so many transcenders to teleport down at the same time. It was less than a hundred, but it was already a large-scale army transportation capacity with strategic significance.

As a matter of fact, this was transnational transportation for transcenders!

Not only was the range exceptionally far, but it also crossed the Great Barrier. According to these new folks, Nieusel heard they were initially from the Noah Kingdom.

However, this reassured Nieusel’s doubts.

This proved that they were unofficial and peaceful.

If they were related to the Noah family or sold this technology to the king, the Noah Kingdom would have used this method to airdrop many transcenders to invade the Austere-Winter Dukedom.

If more than 70 Silver Rank Transcenders proficient in guerrilla tactics could be teleported in one go, the Frost Beast army on the Austere-Winter Dukedom side would face tremendous struggle.

Soon after, Nefertari quickly discovered the “Secret Eye’s” method. After all, she was the Wise of orthodox ritualist background.

Although she was unclear about the details, the teleportation was based on a “ritual”.

Moreover, it was a ritual about light, candlelight, and the Seventh Luminary. In other words, the light of the Divine Transporter.

The Divine Transporter, which had yet to become a deity or even be born, could support this ritual. This could be an indication that its true strength was already very close to upright deities.

The results of this discovery made Nieusel and Nefertari respect Secret Eye even more.

Ghirlandaio walked the talk too.

Nieusel did not back down either.

All the players sent over were allocated a set of Sporeggar Mill manor, as well as sufficient travel expenses and living expenses. Sporeggar Mill temporary resident certification was issued to the players. This meant that he used his reputation to vouch for these players, allowing the players to avoid unnecessary trouble when traveling to other cities.

This even led Nieusel to sell part of his collection to raise extensive funding in one go. He also prepared a gift for Lin Yiyi’s group, and he would give it to them when they departed.

Nieusel even prepared a rather expensive gift for Annan. In Annan’s opinion, it was unnecessary since he was already given a sacred bone after all. He could not just reap benefits from one side.

I’m so honest that I can’t bear to keep taking advantage of you.jpg

It was with Nieusel’s funding that players could travel to different cities.

As an elite squad of four, they entered twenty different cities, covering the major cities underground of the Noah Kingdom, the Austere-Winter Dukedom, the Papal Kingdom, and the United Kingdom.

As the players followed the original plan and went to different underground cities, Annan made preparations in the face of the promotional video for the second batch of beta-testing players that would arrive in March.

—March 1st.

It was the day when the “Second Beta Test Qualification” was officially issued to Lin Yiyi’s world.

The number went up to three hundred people.
