#738 · 738 of 2210

It seems like something big is about to happen?

In the Netherblue Civilization, players only have one life left.

Because, the game is reality, and reality is the game!

This is also another reason why the difficulty for a civilization to achieve Ascension is extremely high!

When players only have one life left, the difficulty of clearing those high-grade BOSSes can be imagined!

Even just going over to test the waters or figure out the mechanics… would result in massive casualties!

As for this current 'Eastern Moon City', it is one of the largest guild Hideouts in the Netherblue Civilization, and its level is already that of a Legendary Hideout.

"A Legendary Hideout… this is too intense."

Even Qin Feng felt a bit emotional.

You have to know that in his life before the last, he had never even seen a guild Hideout of such a high level.

As expected of Moon Dance, who can reach the Land of Order with a different class in every reincarnation!

Eastern Moon City was built with a landmark building from the Netherblue Civilization before the arrival of the God Forsaken Game—a hexagonal spire—as its center.

In past reincarnations, the status of this spire was always different; for example, in the reincarnation where the Six-Fingered Warlock · Vikri was exiled, this spire was the headquarters of the 'Element Association' guild.

But at this very moment, the location of this spire is Moon Dance's Eastern Moon City.

To protect this city, the over 200,000 players of the Eastern Moon Guild take turns going to the defensive barrier at the edge of the city to fend off and kill monsters!

And so…

Qin Feng went on to find five or six players, swindling them out of a total of over ten thousand years of Lifespan.

He had intended to lure people into attacking him…

But Qin Feng discovered to his frustration that these players had no intention of using force within this Hideout at all.

Although they were all shedding tears after being swindled by him, they had absolutely no intention of fighting…

This left Qin Feng quite helpless.

Then he discovered…

It seems earning Lifespan this way is actually quite fast?

"It seems this won't do… I should go check out the edge of the city."

Qin Feng recalled that when he was dealing with the Demon Beast Tamer in North America, that Demon Beast Tamer had intended to have his summoned beasts block Qin Feng's attacks, thereby attempting to launch a self-defense counterattack against Qin Feng…

"If I want to be attacked by players, isn't that very simple?"

"As long as I run into the trajectory of their attacks, won't that solve it?"

As for Moon Dance or whatever, Qin Feng naturally had no thoughts about them.

He only wanted to develop faster; this entire Netherblue Civilization was merely a stepping stone for Qin Feng…

Therefore, he naturally wasn't afraid of offending Moon Dance or anyone else.

Furthermore, for Qin Feng, even if he really killed someone, he could just send them into the Land of Judgment and then immediately send them out again; this was equivalent to resurrecting them, and in anyone's eyes, it would leave absolutely no trace!

The cost of this operation wasn't high either.

As for asking White Sprout to help with resurrection, there was no need for that for the time being…

"Come to think of it, those few resurrected guys I've been monitoring haven't shown any abnormalities."

"It seems White Sprout's resurrection ability should be quite reliable…"

Of course, White Sprout's resurrection had conditional restrictions and was too obvious, so it couldn't be used casually.

In short, Qin Feng only wanted to find a player to make a move on him, and then kill that player in retaliation!

"Come on!"

Thus, Qin Feng arrived at the edge of Eastern Moon City and found a battlefield that was in the midst of a fierce fight…

With a glide, he flew into an area that was being bombarded by players!

However…

Just as Qin Feng intended to pick a lucky winner to take out,

He was stunned to discover…

That the players' attacks actually passed right through his body, as if Qin Feng didn't exist!

"This is… Order?"

Qin Feng was completely dumbfounded. He sensed that it was an Order effect!

When Qin Feng appeared and those attacks passed through him, Qin Feng was stunned, and the group of players attacking him were also dumbfounded.

"Quick, notify the Guild Leader! There's a mysterious NPC here causing trouble!"

"I just heard earlier that a black-robed NPC appeared in the city…"

"This NPC is very insidious! It seems he wants us to attack him!"

"Hahaha, he definitely wouldn't have guessed that our entire guild is affected by Order, and we cannot attack any neutral NPCs!"

There's such an Order effect?

If he encountered Order under normal circumstances, Qin Feng could use Divinity to negate it…

But at this moment, Qin Feng couldn't do it!

Using Divinity to negate Order belongs to the category of 'attack' actions.

And the most critical restriction on Qin Feng right now is that he cannot attack any players!

Therefore, he cannot negate any Order from any player!

"Damn it…"

Qin Feng never expected that after becoming an NPC, getting someone to attack him would be so difficult?

It must be an issue with Moon Dance's guild!

Qin Feng was just about to leave this place to find some players in the wild or something.

Suddenly…

A puff of black smoke appeared in front of Qin Feng without any warning!

Accompanied by a crisp, pleasant female voice that sounded with a bit of interest: "Mr. Shadow, since you're here, why not stay and play a while longer? I heard your game is quite interesting… let me accompany you for a while."

"…"

The appearance of this situation caused Qin Feng, who had intended to leave, to be directly restricted in his movements!

Because his identity right now is an NPC!

For an NPC, as long as someone triggers an NPC function, they can only be 'forced' to go through the functional process.

Just like the blonde little loli Ashashis, who was forced to serve Qin Feng every time…

Now, Qin Feng himself was actually being forced to serve by a pretty lady…

"Moon Dance?"

Qin Feng slightly raised his head and saw that the puff of black smoke in front of him gradually transformed into the slender and graceful figure of a long-legged woman, but that figure had not fully solidified; instead, it was like smoke and illusion, giving people a sense of unreality and falseness…

— — [ Thorn of Deception · Moon Dance (Lv68) ] — —

Thorn of Deception!

In this reincarnation, Moon Dance is once again an Assassin class, and it is also a unique Hidden Class!

Within that black smoke, a cold and detached female face emerged, with a faint smile in her eyes, directly 'controlling' NPC Qin Feng in place…

"Rock… Paper… Scissors?"

Moon Dance, having transformed into smoke, said lightly, quickly learning about Qin Feng's NPC function through a system prompt—Rock, Paper, Scissors!

Of course, because of the overbearing hidden clause Qin Feng added, she could only play this game and could not reveal the game rules to anyone else.

"It's actually quite interesting."

"These game rules seem like a sure win, but there is actually a very obvious trap… In the game rules, it doesn't specify that we must show simultaneously; as long as you let me go first, I will definitely lose."

Moon Dance pondered for a moment, and on her cold face within the smoke, an 'I see' expression appeared.

This surprised Qin Feng a bit…

This woman, she seems to have some skill!

However, what really made Qin Feng realize something was wrong was…

Immediately after, on the cold face within the smoke, Moon Dance revealed a playful look: "Mr. Shadow, our guild currently has twenty-one NPCs; why don't you join us as well?"

"If I haven't guessed wrong… as long as I keep playing this game with you, and play a certain number of times, I can recruit you into the guild, right?"

"And our cost is just paying some Lifespan, and Lifespan, under the current circumstances, is actually the cheapest thing…"

Hearing this, Qin Feng's heart 'thumped', and he secretly thought: Not good!

Because, what Moon Dance said was absolutely correct!

When Qin Feng set up a scammy NPC function for himself, the God Forsaken Game system also automatically defined a condition for recruiting him into a guild…

Playing his Rock, Paper, Scissors 100 times in a row would allow him to join the guild!

Playing 200 times in a row would even unlock advanced NPC functions automatically derived by the system!

Originally, Qin Feng didn't care.

After all, as long as he killed a player, he could remove his NPC status, so there was no need to dwell on it.

But now…

It seems like something big is about to happen?!

"No way, I just got here… Could it be that I'm about to be sanctioned by this Moon Dance?"

Qin Feng was now full of question marks.

Did something go wrong in his planning?

He wanted to run away, but…

While in the state of being 'forced to serve' by Moon Dance, he couldn't even run away!

"I'm not actually going to crash and burn, am I?"

Qin Feng wanted to cry without tears; who knew that Moon Dance had such rich experience in dealing with NPCs?

(Rest assured, this is a pure power fantasy novel; he won't become a lackey!)
