Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 652 Let Time Stand Still at This Moment

Even though winter hasn't arrived in the real world yet.

But the late autumn wind still had a slightly biting chill on my face.

Fortunately, most of the people who have gone through the public beta are no longer ordinary people.

Even lower-level players of the Spirit Disaster class, as long as they have invested some points in their constitution, will not be so afraid of the chill of ordinary autumn, unless their constitution is already too poor.

Adding a few points might make it comparable to someone else's state before they became a player.

From a certain perspective, there are indeed differences in talent among players of the Calamity faction.

Before becoming Spirit Disaster players, players like Wu Wang and Wu Xiaoyou already had their attribute values ​​at the upper limit for ordinary people. Almost every additional point they added made them several points stronger than players of the same level.

This gap is not only particularly noticeable during the early stages of growth at lower levels.

In the game, there are also certain items or skills that increase attributes by a percentage.

Therefore, the greater the difference in basic stats, the greater the difference in skill effects will naturally be.

Those players who refine their bodies generally have high base stats, and can only achieve this by using items that increase attribute percentages.

Otherwise, simply adding points to create a significant gap in skill level would be too difficult.

"So, that's why you want to practice with me?"

Wu Wang was somewhat helpless.

After saying goodbye to Huiming and the others, he and his second sister returned to the real world.

After checking the results of this instance, in addition to some epic items, Wu Wang also obtained a special item.

[Heart of Buddha (Bond Item): Using this item creates a meditation hall where no one can use violence for five minutes.]

When the Buddha's heart awakens, the holder can use this item to summon a Buddha's disciple to assist for ten minutes.

[Note: Every place is a place of practice, every thought is a form of spiritual cultivation]

This is clearly the same type of prop as the kitchen knife that Oink gave to Wu Wang.

Wu Wang also gained a bond called "Compassionate Buddha".

However, Huiming, or rather Wusheng, does not currently possess the ability to freely traverse world barriers like Oink, so he cannot summon them to help at any time.

In fact, Wu Wang was also curious whether the Buddhist disciple referred to by this prop was the monk Huiming, or the one who was born a Buddha, Wusheng.

On the other hand, the group had been running around in various places recently, even constantly running dungeons. Besides getting stronger, they mostly avoided the scornful monsters.

Now that the other party is no longer in the real world, there is no need for Wu Wang and the others to hide anything.

Upon arriving at a lake within the territory of Yunzhou City, Mary summoned a mist and had the Mary cruise ship sail through it. Who knows how that thing got from the sea into the lake.

All Wu Wang could say was—this is the Spirit Disaster Game! Isn't it amazing!

On the cruise ship, the first thing Wu Xiaoyou brought up was to practice her skills with Wu Wang.

The premise is that no special abilities are used, and the trial is conducted purely with bare hands.

“That’s right. Logically speaking, our base stats aren’t that different, so there’s no reason why I should always be unable to beat you,” Wu Xiaoyou said as she warmed up in her sportswear.

After a period of special training from Mary and Lilith, she was quite satisfied with her growth rate.

However, I've never had a proper fight with my younger brother, which is something I always regret.

"Not holding back?"

"No holding back... Hey!"

boom--

As Wu Xiaoyou was speaking, Wu Wang threw a right fist at her side waist from an extremely tricky angle.

The speed was so fast that Wu Xiaoyou broke out in a cold sweat. She barely managed to raise her hand to block, but she was still knocked back a few steps due to the suddenness of the blow.

This scene made Mary and Lilith sigh and rub their foreheads.

Even when facing his own older sister, he still resorts to sneak attacks? Truly, he's a man whose bottom line is nowhere to be found.

"No! I haven't even said 'start' yet!"

Wu Xiaoyou rubbed her arm that had blocked the punch and gritted her teeth.

In response, Wu Wang chuckled and said, "You mean you won't hold back? A sneak attack is part of the battle. You can't expect any opponent to wait until you're prepared before attacking, can you?"

After thinking for a moment, Wu Xiaoyou nodded without refuting what he said.

That makes sense.

She shook her hands, assumed a stance, and took a deep breath: "Come on, let me see just how different we are!"

boom! boom! boom!

Inside the training room of the Mary, a series of sounds of combat clashing rang out.

About five minutes later, a stunningly beautiful woman with bruises on her face and blood from her nose squatted in the corner and drew circles with her finger.

The gap seems a bit too big...

"Xiao Qiu! Go! You and him give it a try!"

Faced with Wu Xiaoyou's furious words, the cow-patterned cat watching the show pointed at itself with a paw, revealing an incredulous expression.

"Meow? (Me?)"

Looking at Wu Wang, who was rubbing his hands together eagerly, a strange look flashed in his eyes, as if to say—why don't you really give it a try?

The cow-and-cow cat immediately felt a sense of empathy for Benbo'erba from Journey to the West.

I'm going to kill Tang Sanzang and his disciples?

Sun Wukong is indeed a vegetarian, but his golden cudgel is no ordinary weapon!

Master! You don't really think this guy will have pity on a cute cat and won't be able to hurt it, do you?

The things he used to train us would be considered abuse if applied to a normal cat!

What kind person would let their cat learn how to care for a sow after giving birth?

Besides the cat Xiaoqiu who looked utterly hopeless, there were two women beside him who looked helpless and complained to Wu Wang:

"You're really not holding back, are you? Even the Second Miss is on the ground slapping the floor in surrender, and you're still swinging your fists and having a good time?"

Wu Wang was taken aback and said, "I thought she was going to pretend to admit defeat and secretly lie on the ground and punch my feet. I thought to myself, 'Finally, she's figured it out! I can't let her down! Giving it my all is the greatest respect I can show my opponent!'"

God the hell, you pretended to admit defeat, lay on the ground, and pounded your feet! Only you could do something like that!

However, before they could say anything more, Wu Xiaoyou stopped them, looking embarrassed, and said, "Um... actually, my brother guessed right. I was planning to do that, but he found out."

Mary and Lilith: "..."

Amazing siblings!

Hearing the regret in Wu Xiaoyou's voice, the two of them were truly at their wits' end!

"Forget it, don't talk about him anymore. He's always been like this since he was a child. In a sense, he's quite innocent." Wu Xiaoyou said with a hint of reminiscence, "It seems that it was in junior high school. There was a pretty girl in his class, and a lot of boys liked her. He got annoyed and said, 'Why don't you guys fight? Whoever wins will be my girlfriend.' As a result, those little brats actually arranged a group fight. My brother went too."

Upon hearing this, the two dungeon bosses showed surprised expressions.

I never realized that you, sir, were such a passionate person before, when you were so detached from worldly desires.

That's true, after all, they were just kids, it's normal to be young and impetuous. Then, Wu Xiaoyou continued, "I know what you two are thinking, you're wrong. This guy doesn't even like that girl, he just wanted to fight. In the end, he beat everyone up, and he even beat up the girl too. He called his parents and the police beforehand, saying that someone was inciting a brawl. Luckily, he managed to stop the riot, but when a bunch of parents arrived, they found that his way of stopping it was by beating everyone except themselves down."

"After returning from the police station that night, my older sister was so angry that her face turned green. She almost slapped that kid so hard that her face was ruined."

Upon hearing this, Wu Wang put his hands on his hips and proudly declared, "If violence isn't for killing, then it's meaningless!"

Mary and Lilith's expressions grew increasingly stiff.

What are you so proud of?!

Despite her helplessness, the bruises on Wu Xiaoyou's face were quickly healed under the effect of the [reverse direction knife].

Everyone quickly changed into their outdoor clothes.

They quietly returned to the city from the Mary; after all, it would be a lie to say that such a large cruise ship standing there wouldn't attract attention.

Fortunately, Wu Wang reported the incident to the local Bureau of Strange Events, and no officials came to cause them any trouble; they were only told that there were a few too many onlookers.

That's why they're so careful when they go out.

"Tsk, I really didn't expect that even with the open beta already here, there would still be something like this. I thought I was going to be disappointed this time." Wu Xiaoyou said with a slight sigh.

They have now arrived at a corner of a people's park in Yunzhou City.

Not far away, a group of middle-aged people were looking around at something that looked like a long notice board, made of wire and paper.

Occasionally, a number of young people would appear among them, also scrutinizing and examining the contents of the hanging papers.

It turned out to be a place called the "marriage market".

In response, Wu Wang shrugged helplessly and said, "Don't forget, because of the dungeon passage map I provided, the Bureau of Extraordinary Events was able to quickly identify a large number of dungeons suitable for newcomers in China, so that more people could avoid dying in high-intensity dungeons from the start. The survival rate of the masses is significantly higher than in other places."

"As a result, those who are not capable enough but have barely survived the dungeon and know that they may die at any time will naturally have a stronger desire to prolong their lives or find a companion."

"Didn't you see that the requirements on the resumes at these matchmaking corners have changed from the old ones, like having a certain annual income and owning a car and a house, to requirements like a certain player level and how many epic items they possess?"

"To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the Venerable's attack, I even suspect that if things had continued to develop like this, a bill regarding the marital property of players in the Spirit Disaster would have been introduced later."

"I'll really laugh when I get divorced and get half of my partner's spiritual disaster items."

These words made Wu Xiaoyou and the others unable to hold back their emotions.

But what's even more chilling is that what Wu Wang said in jest might actually become a reality in the near future.

After all, when the players of the Calamity were only a minority, the authorities could manage the order simply by using methods such as issuing bounties.

Now that everyone has become a Necropolis player, it's impossible to manage them in such a simple and crude way. The laws and regulations of ordinary society are no longer keeping up with the times. The only way is to develop more laws related to Necropolis players over time.

Only in this way can society as a whole truly return to a stable and orderly state.

Of course, what Wu Wang didn't know was that the president of the Tarot Society, the Ash Witch, had already reached a consensus with the Bureau of Extraordinary Events and was fully cooperating to provide a comprehensive solution.

As the spokesperson for "order," she is undoubtedly the best helper in rebuilding order.

"Let's put aside the question of whether or not we'll share the props; we should get down to business." Wu Xiaoyou's expression seemed somewhat serious.

Wu Wang smiled and nodded happily, and the two immediately walked in different directions.

Meanwhile, Mary and Lilith, who came along, quietly watched the show while holding Little Hill.

They certainly knew why these two had come; in short, it could be summed up in four words—

[Disrupting the market!]

Let alone compared to these newcomers who have only recently started playing the Spirit Disaster game, even compared to the top-tier advanced players, Wu Wang and Wu Xiaoyou are considered outstanding.

Just the fact that Wu Wang could casually pull out a bunch of epic-level items that he didn't need would have been enough to lure a large group of low-level players into becoming slaves in the past.

Wu Xiaoyou may be slightly inferior in terms of ranking, but her looks perfectly make up for this deficiency.

In fact, when she first arrived at the park, everyone who had seen her face stopped for a moment.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that she is as beautiful as an angel.

No one could have guessed that these two outstanding individuals were actually geniuses.

They planned to use their superior qualities to pretend to chat with various people who wanted to go on blind dates, and in the process, they would deliberately lower their own status to make the other person feel that "only someone with these qualities is worthy of me".

From then on, the standards for matchmaking corners in this area will probably be lowered to an unbelievable level by the two of them.

Disrupting the market creates the Putson male and Putson female categories.

"Lilith, don't you think the things the second young lady wants to do with the master are all too boring?" Mary asked, watching the two of them having a great time in the crowd.

The black-and-white nun tilted her head and said, "No, Miss knows Mr. very well."

He then proceeded to count on his fingers and said earnestly, "I understand that you, sir, have very narrow interests, so narrow that they are almost limited to just two categories: 'observing human folly' and 'the whole job'."

"Take him to the mall, and he can stand at the escalator and write a behavioral observation report on the flow of people; take him to the movies, and he can start criticizing the logical flaws in the script from the first minute, keeping his voice just loud enough for those in front and behind to hear; take him to see animals..."

At this point, the two looked at the little hill in their arms.

The other party also made a timely, helpless cry.

"Meow~"

[That's the person who trained me to do backflips before I even developed my intelligence, and didn't give me any cat treats.]

There's definitely something wrong with his brain.

The two sighed and rubbed the cat's head to comfort it.

Lilith then continued, "That's why the second young lady also wants to accompany the master to do some fun and have some fun, to experience as much as possible the feeling of having him by her side. After the master leaves, she'll probably never find this feeling again."

"Habit is a terrible thing."

Mary nodded in agreement.

Yes, the second young lady has gotten used to having her husband around as a source of amusement. Now that he is really gone forever, will she still be able to be as happy as she is now?

At this point, the Wu siblings, having successfully disrupted the market, withdrew from the scene.

Only the group of people who initially found each other agreeable, but now began to feel that the other people who came to the blind date were no longer good enough for them, were left looking down on each other.

The sounds of their playful banter gradually drifted over.

"Second sister, I have a performance art piece that can make the surrounding housing prices more affordable."

"...That's called jumping off a building. And with your current physical condition, you'll only make a crater in the ground; you'll be fine."

"Oh, what a pity. I should have tried it earlier."

"It's not that it didn't happen. Have you forgotten how you jumped off the school building in high school with a bungee cord strapped to you, scaring the old principal so much that he had a heart attack and almost got expelled?"

"Is that so? I remember it was something that happened in college."

"...You really did fall to your death that time in college, but you immediately revived, got up, and ran away. It was nighttime, and there were no security cameras nearby. The legend of the haunted men's dormitory circulated until graduation. The school even invited a master to perform a ritual, but it turned out to be you pretending to be a monk. You insisted that the school's feng shui was bad and demanded that an Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon be built behind the men's dormitory. It was a hot topic on the school forum. You've forgotten about the bad things you did, haven't you?"

"I probably did too much, so I can't quite remember."

"Then... help me make a few more, and don't forget these..." (End of Chapter)
