Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 111: Chapter 108: Painter (4,000-Word Double-Length Chapter)

Even though Wu Chang was accustomed to grand occasions, hearing that number made him catch his breath.

Five million players, what kind of concept is that number?

His player ID is 4444444, and assuming the most optimistic scenario, each player’s number is recycled and reissued after death.

The actual number of players wouldn’t be much higher than his player ID.

A sudden increase of five million players means the number of players in the game would double, and it would also mean that five million new informed individuals suddenly appear in reality.

All existing systems will face a shock, and the control by several major powers will reach its weakest point.

Will we still be able to lock down the information about the Abyssal Game as tightly as we do now?

The Abyssal Game is different from the Main God Game, it doesn’t mind ordinary people knowing about its existence.

Once the existence of the Abyssal Game is leaked, reality will undergo earth-shattering changes.

Wu Chang still remembers the First Law of Mysticism at the Moonlight Sanatorium.

Human cognition is one of the origins of the existence of mysticism; the more people believe in its existence, the more powerful it becomes.

The influx of a large number of new players is like breaking through the information blockade, allowing ordinary people to begin understanding the Abyssal Game.

People’s belief in the Abyssal Game might accelerate its expansion, leading to the further absorption of players.

Repeat the cycle until the era of the great Abyssal Game arrives.

How can one accumulate enough original capital before the era arrives?

As the saying goes, ”When the wind comes, even pigs can fly.”

The upcoming World Dungeon is undoubtedly the wind for the Abyssal Game.

Zhao Yan’s meaning is clear: if Wu Chang can seize this opportunity, he might be able to gain an advantage and achieve something in the future.

”Thank you, instructor.”

Wu Chang nodded, thinking to himself that Zhao Yan is a reliable person, someone he can associate with.

When the two came out of the lounge, they happened to see Sword Star and the Negotiation Master appear in the waiting hall.

Their appearance instantly drew everyone’s attention.

The previous conflict between Zhao Yan and Mianhua had already become known to everyone. To prevent strange rumors from spreading further, Lin Jiang had to reveal that Sword Star’s strategy was progressing smoothly, and everything was under control.

According to the current progress, Sword Star’s future is limitless.

Seeing the main characters in person, people swarmed forward, wanting a close look at these two young genius players.

Especially Sword Star, if they could get an autograph, in the future, when Sword Star becomes a big shot in the Management Bureau, having the autograph would be something to brag about for a lifetime.

However, before players could crowd the waiting hall, members of the Evolution Sect already blocked the crowd and escorted Sword Star and the Negotiation Master into the lounge.

Entering the lounge, Lin Jiang, suppressing a smile, was the first to come forward. Behind him were Director Gao with a congratulatory smile, and Lei Huo and Meng Yawen with expressionless faces.

The last one standing, with a kindly smile, was Xu Dejun.

Seeing this lineup, Sword Star’s heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself that something bad was going to happen.

Lin Jiang, like a parent showing off their talented child, asked, ”Sword Star, many people were concerned about your dungeon trip. Old Xu and Director Gao gave a lot of support to help you complete the dungeon smoothly.”

”Tell us quickly, what level have you achieved this time, and how did you manage to complete the dungeon so quickly?”

Sword Star looked for help from the Negotiation Master, but the Negotiation Master loyally looked skyward, pretending not to see Sword Star’s glance.

Helpless, Sword Star had no choice but to brace himself and say:

”The dungeon wasn’t my strategy, I’m completely unaware of what happened inside.”

As soon as these words came out, the lounge seemed to fall into a time freeze. Even including Director Gao and other members of the Order Sect, they all remained in their current positions without moving, their brains running rapidly.

They were contemplating, what did Sword Star mean by this? Was it a new way of being modest, or did he want to keep something secret? It couldn’t possibly be the literal meaning, could it?

Seeing this, the Negotiation Master was no longer satisfied with just looking up at the sky. She turned her back on everyone.

If the situation allowed, she would have run straight away.

Lin Jiang, whose intuition was always sharp, sensed an ominous feeling but could only maintain a smile and ask:

”Sword Star, do you mean that without your intervention, the Peaceful Town Dungeon collapsed on its own?”

Sword Star shook his head, completely extinguishing the hope in everyone’s hearts.

”This time, I was paired with that mysterious newcomer, and the entire dungeon strategy was completed by him alone. By the time the Negotiation Master came in, I hadn’t even figured out the main storyline of the dungeon. I thought the dungeon was about to collapse. The Negotiation Master can testify.”

Sword Star certainly wasn’t going to let the Negotiation Master hide behind and take it easy, so he dragged her into it too.

The Negotiation Master, brought to the forefront, reluctantly moved her gaze from the ceiling and laughed awkwardly at the people.

”Sword Star is right.”

Ten minutes later, everyone in the lounge finally accepted this reality.

Sword Star hadn’t made a major breakthrough, and they were still a long way from having their own newcomer powerhouse.

Meanwhile, their desire for that mysterious newcomer grew more intense.

Previously, they thought that the newcomer had completed the clearance by utilizing a super ability to discover the dungeon’s plot, skillfully using dungeon rules, and some special skills to beat the odds.

Now it seems their assumptions were completely wrong; the newcomer was the opposite of what they had guessed.

He was simply non-human, overpowering everything in sight.
