Chapter 137 – Mr. Prophet welcomes me!

At this moment, Power 39 was somewhat stunned.

He had thought that the prophet was just an ordinary task NPC. Even if he could really predict the future, at most, he would only do some trivial things like divining fortunes, as he did yesterday. But now, it seemed that things were somewhat different from what he had imagined?

The "Ghost" character on Gu Chi's mask was somewhat abstractly formed by geometric patterns, not very conspicuous. He could see it at a glance purely because the name "Ghostly Child" had already entered his line of sight in advance.

He guessed that "Ghostly Child" might be one of the players in this game, but he never thought that an NPC could actually divine the players' IDs.

If he thought about it more deeply, could this prophet also predict the players' appearance, their purpose, and even know that they came from another world?

The "Ghostly Child" from the same camp as the prophet, wouldn't she be overjoyed?

Power 39's gaze quickly swept across the entire venue, and soon locked onto a girl with a very eye-catching appearance, who was smiling happily.

Just like how he could see the "Ghost" character on Gu Chi's mask, Power 39 instantly recognized "Ghostly Child."

It wasn't that his eyesight was particularly good, but mainly because this girl's appearance was too outstanding.

After "Ghostly Child" had finished everything she needed to do, she took a break for today and went to change into a new outfit. She tied her hair into a more lively single ponytail, didn't wear a hat, and her exquisite appearance was fully revealed. Paired with a light lip bite makeup, her smile was pure and sweet, making even Power 39, an old uncle, feel moved.

He almost wanted to rush over and punch her right away.

Except for the maid behind the prophet, no one in the crowd could compare to "Ghostly Child" in terms of looks. It was strange that Power 39 couldn't recognize her. He even suspected that this sunny girl deliberately dressed up so beautifully to gain favor with the prophet.

The man with the monocle who had been observing Power 39 in the crowd also noticed "Ghostly Child" following his gaze.

Was this girl also a player?

Was her personal mission related to the prophet?

He took out his pocket watch, wound it twice, and the hands stopped at 01:56.

In the process, his left arm accidentally touched the person next to him, causing a sharp pain in the corner of his eye.

There was a woman next to him who was still wearing a tight skirt in the middle of winter, and she was applying lipstick with a delicate makeup box that looked like a ring box. Her makeup was charming, and her long, seductive fox-like eyes had a teardrop mole at the corner. The tight fabric outlined her fiery waist and hip curves, and her skirt revealed a pair of sexy, alluring black silk legs, very tempting.

The woman noticed the man with the monocle through the mirror and slightly raised the corner of her mouth, silently giving him a "hunting mark"—

【Hunting Mark Lv10 (+1): You can know the target's location, lasting for 10 (+1) hours. After killing the target, you will receive an additional 20 (+2) bounty.】

And at the forefront of the crowd, a journalist was taking pictures of the lively scene in the garden with his camera—The woman had specifically touched up her makeup for this, hoping to maintain her elegance and beauty in every photo, without losing her various charms.

The journalist seemed to understand her thoughts and was very cooperative. He waited for the woman to finish her makeup before smiling at her and taking pictures again.

*Click.*

The shutter was pressed.

The camera slowly spit out a photo.

The woman in the photo was in the center, with an outstanding temperament, and there were several lines of code-like small words next to it.

【Player ID: Don't Forget Me】

【Gender: Female】

【Total Attributes: 151 (Physique 36, Spirit 18, Dexterity 21, Strength 7, Charm 69)】

【Strategy Suggestion: You can try arm wrestling with her, maybe you can win】

The journalist was looking at the photo.

The young man with a skateboard was looking at him and memorizing his appearance.

Power 39's simple glance seemed to trigger a chain reaction, with the players hidden among the crowd watching each other, hiding from each other, and exposing each other.

On the surface, everything seemed normal, everyone was discussing enthusiastically, waiting for the prophet to enter, and it seemed like all eyes were on Gu Chi. But in private, there was an undercurrent of activity, with people making moves and plotting.

Even "Don't Hit Me, I Surrender," who was not good at observing, faintly smelled a dangerous scent.

To be honest, he was really bad at this. Sometimes, he couldn't even immediately recognize the other players face to face. It was just that hundreds of games had honed his sense of smell to be exceptionally sharp. His intuition told him that there were definitely more players who came to find the prophet today, maybe even half of them.

So he took out the small radar from his bag and scanned the area quietly.

【Current Area Player Count: 12】

Don't Hit Me, I Surrender: "???"

What's going on?

Why did everyone come?Don't surrender with a face full of question marks. He himself is because the NPC who provided clues are all riddle people. After searching for a long time and not finding the chessboard, he thought of coming to find the prophet to see if the other party could help him and give him some information that he could understand.

What are these guys here for?

Are all personal tasks about finding things?

Obviously impossible!

Setting aside personal factors, the difficulty of decryption tasks is not high, at a medium to low level. Correspondingly, his attributes are also only at a medium to low level. In this game, there are a total of 12 people, and the number of players with the same type of task as him will not exceed 5 at most. Otherwise, how can the words "medium to low" be defined?

And in personal mode, there must be players whose task is to kill other players. They have nothing to do with the prophet, so they cannot be here for divination. They can only be here to look for prey - these players guessed that there would be other players coming to find the prophet, so they came specifically to distinguish identities, lock in targets, and find opportunities to kill.

Don't surrender finally came to a conclusion -

There are bad guys!

And there are quite a few bad guys!

How can this be played?

If he dares to go up and ask, won't he be immediately targeted?

It's not good to leave either.

Everyone is here to watch the prophet's performance - at least on the surface. And now the prophet is still walking on the purple carpet. At this time, leaving is more eye-catching than going up to find the prophet for divination.

Don't surrender suddenly realized that he was stuck.

Neither going up nor running away is good. It seems that he can only silently wait for the prophet to finish today's three divinations and naturally disperse.

This is very uncomfortable.

The remaining 11 players are all hidden in the crowd. The longer he stays here, the greater the possibility of exposure.

Only when the prophet is divining is relatively safe.

The actions of the prophet and the people who go up to divine will attract the attention of most of the players present, making them temporarily unable to look around to find people. The probability of him being discovered will be greatly reduced. But this man is walking like he's on a catwalk, and he hasn't even reached the end after walking for dozens of meters. Can't he hurry up!

Gu Chi didn't care.

He didn't intend to be so slow. His task today was to receive You Youzi and gain her trust. Other players can temporarily be left alone to do their tasks for a few more days, otherwise he won't be able to get too many clues out of them.

It's only the third day, and Gu Chi doesn't think that many people will come to find the prophet.

He knows the personal tasks of each player very well. Before he deliberately showed that he could "break the dimensional wall" and divined the information of the players as an NPC, these players should not come to find him.

But the fact is that as soon as he left, the BUFF started to drop.

Two layers of "false names" dropped from five layers.

Four layers of "false attributes" dropped from five layers.

Gu Chi immediately added five layers to each, and after adding them, three layers of "false attributes" dropped again.

He had only taken a few steps, and he had been spied on nine times by these old players.

Is this a high-end game with over 100 attributes?

Due to the large number of people, Gu Chi couldn't take out the Enlightenment Elixir to eat directly, so he could only use the word spirit quietly: "Consume an Enlightenment Elixir."

Repeated three times, it cost an extra 3 points of Dao Yun.

It cannot be ruled out that some people think he's handsome and took a few more glances at him. Similarly, it cannot be ruled out that some players do not have the relevant props and do not have the ability to view other people's attributes.

Taking everything into account, Gu Chi felt that there were at least six players hidden in the crowd, plus him and Xia Ling, making it eight, two-thirds of the total.

The personal tasks have nothing to do with the prophet, but they specifically came over, and even checked the prophet's attributes together. What are they trying to do is not obvious?

It's like the heart of Sima Zhao.

Only he and Xia Ling love peace.

Gu Chi has never played a high-end game and is not clear about the rhythm and gameplay of high-end games. Now, it seems that they are not very concerned about public tasks, but are more interested in personal tasks or the number of kills. With a total of 44 attributes, he is destined not to be able to compete head-on with these old players. In order to gain more benefits, he must let them fight each other. So in a sense, the current situation is exactly what he wants, but it has come a few days early.

Gu Chi immediately decided to go with the flow.

He deliberately walked so slowly, thinking about how to give these old players a surprise.

He had told Huang Yang before when he was in Northern Rivers that the thing he disliked the most was old coins.

Everyone is an adult, so why hide things in the dark?

There should be more trust between people.

In the eager eyes of everyone, Gu Chi walked to the divination table, while Xia Ling stood aside as usual.

Today's situation is completely different from yesterday.

Yesterday, he waited for a long time and no one came up. Today, as soon as Gu Chi arrived, a group of people started clamoring.

The man who planned to ask Gu Chi's wife when she would get pregnant had the loudest voice."Hey, we agreed not to fight over this!"

"Who said we agreed? You're the one with a wife!"

"I have three wives waiting for their turn!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

There are only three divination spots available each day, who wouldn't want one?

But before they could determine a winner, Gu Chi pressed down on the crowd, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

The face of the prophet cannot be disrespected, so everyone reluctantly paused their argument and waited for Gu Chi to announce the rules - they thought Gu Chi would come up with a relatively fair way for everyone to compete for these three spots, such as who has the most "politeness."

But instead, Gu Chi said something that left them all confused.

"Before the official divination today, I would like to express my attitude."

Gu Chi's eyes under the mask swept across the room and said, "Warriors from another world, welcome to our world."

Everyone: "?"

Players: "???"

"What does that mean?"

"Another world?"

"Is the prophet referring to the world where the gods live?"

The crowd didn't quite understand what Gu Chi was talking about, but these words were like a thunderbolt to the players, shocking the members of the Level 39 team.

He had just thought of it casually, but this man could actually divine their origins?

The alluring woman was in the middle of stretching her stockings, but upon hearing Gu Chi's words, she tore off a large piece of the stockings with a surprised expression on her face, just like the members of the Level 39 team. Did she hear wrong? Did the prophet just welcome her as a warrior from another world?

The man disguised as a journalist was also taken aback. His camera had two shutters, one for normal photography and the other to check attributes, using different types of film, which were consumables, so he didn't check randomly. Each check cost money. After observing for so long, he only took one picture of the alluring woman and one of the innocent girl. Now, he was surprised by Gu Chi's words and couldn't help but pick up the camera and take a picture of the man on the stage.

[Name: Chase Lee Williams]

[Gender: Male]

[Total Attributes: 4995 (Physique: 999, Spirit: 999, Dexterity: 999, Strength: 999, Charm: 999)]

[Strategy: Run for your life!]

Journalist: "??!"

All five attributes at 999?

Holy crap!

What's the point of running?

Increasing NPC favorability is also a way to play the game.

What if you suck up to them and just take off?

The prophet just said "welcome," not welcoming all of you, which means he did not divine all the players, or he does not welcome all of them, only a few.

The journalist's brain was working very fast.

Why couldn't this lucky person be himself with an 8.3% probability?

If not, it's not too late to run.

In a corner of the crowd, a player also looked shocked. He had nothing to do and checked the prophet's attributes - 4995.

The first reaction was that he had read it wrong, so he looked again.

Then he looked again.

And then again...

It was still 4995.

A four-digit total attribute made his heart beat wildly at the time, and now the other party was showing the ability to "break through walls," which meant that the NPC had extremely terrifying body and skills. Could this be a hidden boss?

Only Yoyo's expression was different from theirs.

Although Yoyo was also shocked by Gu Chi's words, she soon realized that Gu Chi was her prophet!

There was a big "Yoyo" on the mask, wasn't it obvious that he was welcoming her?

She had seen Gu Chi's performance yesterday. He didn't say much, and his voice was very calm, without any emotion.

But such a cold man actually said "welcome" with such warmth today, which was no less than the contrast between a domineering CEO and cheesy love words.

At this moment, Yoyo's joy and excitement far outweighed her surprise. She didn't know Gu Chi's attributes, but she knew that the more powerful Gu Chi's divination, the greater the help to her.

It seemed like the prophet was going to take her to new heights...

And Gu Chi's next words seemed to confirm her thoughts.

"Tonight at 6 o'clock, I'll be waiting for you at the villa, maybe we can have dinner together."

The slightly soft voice rang directly in Yoyo's heart, unheard by others.

Yoyo: "!!!"

Look!

Look quickly!

She said the prophet was welcoming her!

And inviting her to dinner!

Yoyo didn't know that similar words had also appeared in the hearts of other players.

"Come to the villa at 7 o'clock tonight, and I can tell you where Katherina's Witch's Chessboard is."

"Do you want to know who else is from the same world as you? Let's talk at 7:30 tonight.""I think I can offer you a free fortune-telling session, tonight at 8 o'clock, if you need it."

"Come to me... Trust me, you need my help more than anyone else."

The players: "!!!"

It's me!

The prophet is welcoming me!

...

I'm feeling a bit dizzy and unwell today, preparing for the revival. I won't be updating for the next few days orz (asking for monthly passes)
