Chapter 1090
Rules? What are rules! In the Great World, whoever has the biggest fist makes the rules.
If it hadn't been for this game just now, the eight members of the Demon Race would likely have already attacked them.
"Congratulations, you have escaped the pursuit of the officers and soldiers. Now, we are issuing your rewards and certificates."
Lin Moyu was baffled. He could accept the rewards, but what were the certificates for? It felt like being coaxed like a child.
Several beams of light shot out from the throne, turning into fist-sized rhombic crystals in the air. Beside the crystals, there was indeed a certificate.
The certificate was made of special bright red paper, with the words written on it, "Congratulations on winning the Cops and Robbers game. A special reward is issued as encouragement. Hope you continue to work hard and improve every day."
Lin Moyu was speechless. These rewards and certificates looked like they were meant to coax children, no matter how he looked at them. Suddenly, he was startled, realizing that this manor was actually a playground.
"Could it be that the manor itself was a place where its owner brought his descendants to play games?"
"After being affected by the great war, the rules inside the manor changed, becoming dangerous."
Lin Moyu felt his guess was likely correct; otherwise, the current situation couldn't be explained. If that were truly the case, those people had died quite unjustly.
Lin Moyu helplessly took the crystal and the certificate.
This crystal was no different from the one he had already obtained. Now that he had two, he still didn't know what they were for.
"What is this?" Divine Sovereign Wang Xing took the reward and certificate, still somewhat dazed and not quite recovered. Everything happening before his eyes was too bizarre.
"What the hell is this!"
"We barely survived, and this is the reward?"
"And 'continue to work hard and improve every day,' my foot!"
The few survivors complained one after another.
Lin Moyu suddenly realized something was wrong.
"No, there's a problem."
"The words on the certificate were clearly written in ancient Chinese, completely different from the characters of the Great World."
"How could they read them?"
Lin Moyu rolled his eyes and said to Divine Sovereign Wang Xing, "Elder Wang, why do I feel the words on the reward are a bit strange?"
Divine Sovereign Wang Xing looked puzzled, "They aren't strange at all; they are just the common script of the Great World."
Lin Moyu had seen the common script of the Great World, and it was nothing like this. He pondered for half a second, wondering if the text everyone saw was different. However, he couldn't explain this matter.
At this moment, the phantom spoke again, "Little winners, you can now take your crystals and exchange them for the things you want."
"You know the rules. Just think of what you want in your heart, and perhaps your wish will come true!"
As the voice faded, the phantom disappeared. The throne projected a screen of light, and in the center of this screen, a hole appeared, shaped exactly like the crystal.
Chapter 1174: Everyone Thought of the Same Thing
The phantom's tone was like an elder at home teasing his descendant children.
Lin Moyu was even more certain of his guess: this manor was actually a playground for its owner and his descendants. It could also be seen as a place for leisure and relaxation.
"Perhaps the rules here changed bizarrely because of that great war."
"It is also possible that what we call danger is not dangerous at all to the people here; it was just a game…"
While guessing, his gaze fell on the light screen projected by the throne. Countless treasures seemed to be flickering with light within the screen.
There were weapons, armor, and some strange-looking objects.
Lin Moyu saw a small pagoda, beads, a whip, and even shoes… These items shimmered in and out of view within the light.
And the hole in the center of the screen was identical to the rhombic crystal in his hand.
The meaning was very clear: as long as you put the crystal into the hole, you could obtain a treasure. As for what treasure you would get, it depended on what you wanted and what you were thinking about in your mind.
Lin Moyu rolled his eyes and said to Divine Sovereign Wang Xing, "Let's go over."
Divine Sovereign Wang Xing did not hesitate and immediately replied, "Okay."
Elder Wang had an inexplicable trust in Lin Moyu. Just now, when he was locked onto by the skeleton, he himself had been panicked, yet Lin Moyu remained calm.
Later, for some reason, the skeleton suddenly changed its target and ignored him.
At the time, he hadn't reacted, but later, when he recalled it carefully, he remembered feeling a chill, as if something had enveloped him. Then, the skeleton stopped paying attention to him.
Not only did it stop paying attention to him then, but in the subsequent choices, it also ignored both him and Lin Moyu. While others were anxious and panicked, Lin Moyu was always calm and indifferent. The whole process was like watching a play. He looked as if he had known from the beginning that he wouldn't be chosen.
He felt that Lin Moyu must know something. Therefore, he instinctively listened to whatever Lin Moyu said. The two walked toward the wall, and this time no one stopped them.
Having learned from the previous lesson, the demon who was the first to rush toward the throne had been devoured on the spot. So, as Lin Moyu and Divine Sovereign Wang Xing went over, the other four watched quietly, waiting for the result.
They no longer had the mood to kill; having experienced the skeleton's pursuit just now, as survivors, they only wanted to get out alive and leave this godforsaken place.
Arriving in front of the light screen, Lin Moyu spoke first, "Elder Wang, please go ahead."
Divine Sovereign Wang Xing was slightly stunned and puzzled, but he did not hesitate; he immediately prepared to place the crystal in his hand into the hole in the light screen.
Lin Moyu reminded him, "Elder Wang, think about what you want first."
Divine Sovereign Wang Xing nodded, "I've already decided." As he said this, he placed the crystal on it, and the light screen instantly became brilliant.
The light screen emitted thousands of rays of light, enveloping Divine Sovereign Wang Xing. Lin Moyu took a few steps back, keeping a sufficient distance from the light screen. The light was too brilliant; no one could see what was happening inside.
A few seconds later, the light screen receded, and a small pagoda appeared in Divine Sovereign Wang Xing's hand.
The pagoda was exquisite, nine stories high, but it looked a bit small, not even half the size of a palm. It didn't look like a treasure; it looked more like a child's toy.
Elder Wang's expression was complex at this moment, looking somewhat dumbfounded.
Seeing that Elder Wang was fine, Lin Moyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; his judgment was correct. The end of the game was the time to receive rewards. The phantom from just now hadn't been lying.
Before Divine Sovereign Wang Xing could say anything, his figure quickly became hazy. Beside him, a spatial rift appeared, generating a powerful force that dragged him inside.
At the other end of the spatial rift, Lin Moyu felt the aura of the Great World. After obtaining the treasure, Divine Sovereign Wang Xing was immediately sent back to the Great World.
"Does this count as the end of the game?"
"But what did Elder Wang's expression just now mean?"
Divine Sovereign Wang Xing's expression before leaving was very strange, and Lin Moyu couldn't understand it for a moment. However, once Divine Sovereign Wang Xing left, Lin Moyu felt relieved.
For the Human Race, although they were not short of Divine Sovereigns, it was naturally best to survive. Even a hundred Divine Kings could not compare to one Divine Sovereign. Divine Sovereign Wang Xing being able to return safely was already the best result.
His skin tightened slightly as four gazes filled with killing intent landed on him. With Divine Sovereign Wang Xing gone, he was the only member of the Human Race left.
The remaining four—two demons, one member of the Tenglong Race, and one member of the Giant Ant Race—were all enemies of the Human Race. They were all looking at Lin Moyu with murderous intent.
Lin Moyu did not know their true realms, but here, the realm didn't matter.
The Giant Ant Race member said, "You have a lot of guts, actually not running away!"
"But now, you have no chance." The Tenglong Race member sneered, his figure darting toward Lin Moyu like lightning. He was very fast, reaching behind Lin Moyu in the blink of an eye, cutting off his retreat.
The Tenglong Race, although it had the character "Dragon" in its name, didn't have much to do with the Dragon Race.
A long time ago, the Tenglong Race was called the Tengshe Race; later, for some reason, they changed their name to the Tenglong Race. Perhaps their appearance was two or three parts similar to the Dragon Race, so they wanted to change their name to establish some connection.
Once Divine Sovereign Wang Xing left, the balance was immediately broken, and the four obviously didn't intend to let Lin Moyu leave.
Although the Demon Race, Tenglong Race, and Giant Ant Race were not allies, they had a common enemy: the Human Race. Thus, this became the reason for their temporary cooperation.
Lin Moyu's expression did not change; he showed no sign of panic, remaining calm and indifferent, "Are you so sure you can take me down?"
The Giant Ant Race member laughed sharply, "One-on-one is hard to say, but four-on-one… Everyone knows how strong the Human Race's physical bodies are."
The Tenglong Race member also chuckled, "Even if you are a Divine Sovereign in the Great World, your physical body can't be that strong."
The Netherfire Demon was shrouded in emerald-green flames, "You were very lucky just now, but your luck has run out."
The few seemed determined to finish him off, the killing intent in their eyes growing stronger.
Lin Moyu chuckled, "It seems everyone thought of the same thing. It's about time to finish you all off."
Lin Moyu didn't want them to leave after obtaining treasures either. After Divine Sovereign Wang Xing left, Lin Moyu's killing intent began to boil.
The group was amused by Lin Moyu's words, "Just based on you, wanting to kill us? You must be crazy."
"In the Great World, this King is an 8th Rank Divine King, and here I possess the physical body of a True God 7th Rank. What gives you the right to think you can kill me?"
"The Human Race's physical body is fragile. You can't even protect yourself, yet you dare to dream of killing us."
Lin Moyu chuckled, "We'll see after a try."
He turned abruptly and punched toward the nearby Tenglong Race member.
