The private invitation from the prophet made the old players very surprised.
What is most valuable is that they were only surprised for a moment, and then immediately suppressed their emotions.
There are too many players here, and they cannot show any abnormalities. Otherwise, it is very likely to be seen through, and it will be difficult to deal with when targeted.
So, I surrendered and bowed my head, squatting down to tie my shoelaces.
The reporters started taking pictures again.
The skateboarder seemed tired and yawned.
The charming woman tucked the torn piece of black silk into her handbag and continued to tear the stockings on her other leg.
It was as if nothing had happened just now.
Everyone was a master of controlling their expressions.
In addition, with so many people on the scene, Gu Chi did not find many people with obvious abnormalities. The acting skills of these old players were really strong.
Except for Youyouzi.
Seeing him looking over, the girl in the crowd immediately waved happily at him, bouncing and jumping, looking very lively and cute.
Gu Chi: "......"
He had been paying attention to this girl for a long time.
She looked excited from beginning to end.
This reaction was within his expectations, after all, he had the word "You" written on his face.
The girl's age also matched his guess, but her youthful and beautiful appearance did not look like a murderer, so Gu Chi did not immediately confirm the girl's identity. But now he can be sure—she is not a player and wouldn't be so out of place, even in this world with an abnormal style.
Is she not afraid of being recognized by being so carefree?
If every player is like this, won't his plan be ruined?
Fortunately, there is only one Youyouzi.
"Okay, let's start the divination."
After finishing his work, Gu Chi walked to his position and sat down, ready to start working.
The crowd became noisy again.
The residents here are not concerned about the other world, nor do they care if there are any gods in that world. In comparison, they are more interested in when their wives can get pregnant.
Gu Chi did not set rules for competing for the divination slots. It was not a solution to let them continue to argue like this. So, he wisely set a rule for himself—see who is more polite.
In the end, a man in a velvet robe snatched the first slot for 16 gold coins.
Yesterday's politeness was only 1 silver coin, and today it increased by 1600 times. Gu Chi couldn't help but sigh that the money came so easily, but unfortunately, it couldn't be taken away.
The politeness for the second slot was 15 gold coins.
The politeness for the third slot was 18 gold coins.
Since he had a meeting tonight, Gu Chi pushed the divination date back and widened the time range. He would go hardcore when he had time.
At this point, the players no longer cared about the content of the divination. It had nothing to do with them anyway. What they cared about was whether the prophet would invite only one of them.
This novel is available on "pawread dot com".
Even Power 39 was thinking about the relationship between the players. He knew that Youyouzi's personal mission was locked on the prophet. If Youyouzi could really max out the prophet's favor, and ask the prophet for divination or help whenever he wanted, the initiative would all be in Youyouzi's hands. He couldn't be satisfied with just one divination or conversation.
"Why not just tie up the prophet directly?" Power 39 thought of this and took out an item from his bag, looking at Gu Chi's attributes.
Players like him, with attribute points exceeding 200, would not lack "commonly used" PVP items. If they couldn't produce it themselves, they could buy it from others. The resources accumulated from thousands of games were enough for them to indulge occasionally, exchanging high prices for the items they needed, but they might not use it when they saw people.
Power 39's "scanning pen" could also display the target's name or ID, and it was the highest level in the current version, but it was more expensive. Recharging with a mall item could only scan three people. He pointed it at Gu Chi and "beeped"—
【Name: Chase Lee Williams】
【Total Attributes: 4995 (click to view details)】
Power 39: "?"
So high?
He clicked to view and saw that all attributes were 999.
"Is he a hidden boss?"
Power 39 was puzzled by the same question as another player, but his subsequent reaction was completely different from that player.
After a moment of confusion, Power 39's eyes gradually lit up, with a hint of concealed surprise.
This puzzled the man with the single eyeglass.
He had just checked Gu Chi's attributes. The hour hand of the pocket watch pointed to 4, the minute hand pointed to 9, and there was no second hand.
The total attribute he read was 445.
Indeed, it was much higher than the average NPC, but it was not exaggerated.
Generally speaking, except for the bosses in the Wuchang Star, most of the NPCs in other dungeons, even if their attributes were a few hundred higher, might not necessarily be able to beat the old players with many tricks and strategies. Their combat power was relatively limited.
So even though Power 39 had received a private message from the prophet and was confident in pulling the other party to his camp, he should not be so excited.
The man with the single eyeglass believed that the prophet's strongest point should be his ability to predict the unknown, not his attributes. Power 39's reaction was not quite right.
445 was nothing special to him.
The charming woman was thinking that it was still early before the evening appointment, so she could go and do her hair first, change into a beautiful dress and high heels, and buy a new pair of stockings to dress up. Men, more or less, all fell for this. She had 69 charm points, and with a little manipulation, maybe she could take down this Mr. Prophet without any harm?
The one who surrendered was also thinking about a question. This man's divination skills were so amazing, he must be highly valued and trusted by the Iris Church. The Omuda District is the territory of the Iris Church. Should he try to infiltrate the church through the prophet, get close to Bishop Oliana, and use the power of the Iris Church to deal with others?
The players were all thinking about their own thoughts, and even the matter of finding people was temporarily put aside.With the abilities shown by the prophet just now, it should be easy for them to help lock in other players. The key is how to gain favor, or through tonight's divination and conversation, to gain more advantages for themselves.
By the way, tell Mr. Prophet that the other players are all very bad, all are old coins, so don't contact them, otherwise it will be unlucky.
Gaining favor to get NPC's help is one way to play the game, and it is natural to stop other players from doing so.
Soon, Gu Chi completed three divinations today.
The crowd chatted and dispersed in groups of three or five, with players mixed in and leaving together.
Yoyozi actually wanted to rush to Gu Chi now, and cooperate sincerely with the prophet, complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, satisfy each other, and progress together.
She fulfills Gu Chi's wish, and Gu Chi helps her complete the task, striving to kill everyone in the next five days.
This way, the overall clearance time can be controlled within 9 days, less than 50% of the time limit—this is a commonly used rating level, and should be able to get an S or SS.
If the difficulty of the public task is too high, SSS is also possible.
It's just that, as a polite and rule-abiding girl, Yoyozi doesn't want to ruin her good image. Since the prophet said 6 o'clock, she will go knock on the door at 6 o'clock.
After leaving the gate, Yoyozi went to the convenience store at the corner of the street and bought a cup of Moli milk tea, biting the straw, and strolled the street briskly.
Gu Chi and Xia Ling returned to the villa.
The house cleaned by the maid is clean and tidy everywhere, and the floor tiles are shining, which is pleasing to the eye.
The exquisite built-in fireplace burns quietly, providing heating for the spacious living room.
Xia Ling sat on the luxurious sofa, picked up the fruit plate on the crystal coffee table, and picked a grape. Just as she was about to eat it, she suddenly remembered something, so she handed the grape to Gu Chi who had just sat down beside her, and blinked, "Changge, taste Qing Shu's little grape."
Gu Chi: "......"
He remembered Huang Yang.
If the game is a real world, how is Huang Yang doing now?
"Gu Chi, are you thinking about Holy Maiden?" Xia Ling's tone was slightly tea-flavored, as if she had turned back into Princess Yangyue.
Gu Chi directly retorted, "Is Qing Shu jealous?"
"Not to that extent." Xia Ling couldn't be bothered to argue with a former NPC, she wasn't that petty.
If it weren't for the fact that emotions are unreasonable, Huang Yang actually left a good impression on her.
But she wasn't that generous—Gu Chi actually didn't deny that he was thinking about Huang Yang, he's not obedient at all!
"Your grape is gone." Xia Ling snorted and threw the grape into her mouth.
Gu Chi didn't mind: "Compared to grapes, I prefer the little cherry you fed me."
"Cough..." Xia Ling almost choked, her pretty face turning red, "When did I feed you a little cherry?"
Gu Chi: "Yesterday."
Xia Ling: "Clearly, you snatched it when I wasn't looking!"
Gu Chi is really good at shifting blame: "If you were determined not to let me, could I have snatched it?"
His five attributes added up are not as high as Xia Ling's strength, the girl is a true mage.
Blushing, Xia Ling glared at this guy who took advantage and acted cute, arguing, "But you have the Speech Spirit Technique."
The Speech Spirit Technique is so powerful, she can't resist even if she wants to resist.
"Got it." Gu Chi said, "I'll make you feed me voluntarily with the Speech Spirit Technique tonight."
Xia Ling: "???"
That's not what I meant!
Listening to the two of them bickering, the passing maid who was sweeping the floor lowered her head, feeling envious.
As a noble maid among the maids, the personal maid is the goal of all the household maids. The fact that Xia Ling and the master are bickering and the master is not angry means that the master really cares about the personal maid, which makes people want to work harder to climb up.
Normally, the maid's work agreement does not include a contract to sell herself, but if it's Mr. Charles, she feels like it might not be impossible...
Because Gu Chi doesn't wear a mask at home.
He doesn't need the so-called mystery.
After flirting with Gu Chi for a while, Xia Ling asked about business, and fed Gu Chi a piece of expensive noblewoman pear, "How many people came today?"
Gu Chi ate the pear and replied, "Everyone came."
He initially thought there were only six or seven, but when he used the Speech Spirit Technique to communicate, he found that each time he spoke, it only consumed 1 point of Dao Yun.
Gu Chi was calling out the names on the player list one by one, and these players would not be too far from the garden even if they were not in the garden.
"Are you still planning to chat with them one by one?" Xia Ling asked.
Gu Chi shook his head, "No."
Chatting one by one refers to private chats with suggestive implications, such as instigating multiple players to gang up on Power 39, which was Gu Chi's original plan.
He personally likes the feeling of controlling the overall situation.
Like holding the enemy in the palm of his hand, manipulating and doing whatever he wants, this is a very satisfying thing.
But today, all the players "gathered" early and were eager to cause trouble, disrupting his plan that needed time to brew.
Once the players start contacting each other privately and communicating, it's easy to be exposed for talking to a certain player behind the backs of others, and it could easily lead to being attacked by the group.
With so many people, not only is the power great, but their courage will also grow.
From the speed at which he lost BUFF after displaying his abilities, it was enough to prove that these players were not so easily fooled.
With a pitiful total of 44 attribute points, Gu Chi couldn't withstand testing, there was no margin for error, so his position must be "neutral" or "friendly".
He won't join the group, but he has to get this group started.
This time, Gu Chi not only has to be a prophet, but also a judge.
"Ding dong—"At 18:00 in the afternoon, Youyouzi arrived at the door a minute early and promptly pressed the doorbell, not waiting even a second longer.
Xia Ling was still chatting with Gu Chi in the living room. Hearing the doorbell, the girl quickly got up, straightened her apron, went upstairs, and reminded Gu Chi, "Your mask."
Gu Chi responded with a non sequitur, "Just like last night."
Xia Ling didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
Gu Chi: "No need to wear it."
Xia Ling: "???"
Wow, this guy is so bad!
He can crack jokes anytime, anywhere.
If he's not wearing it, then don't wear it tonight, and never wear it again, hmph!
Following Gu Chi's gesture, the maid in the living room went to open the door, changed slippers for Youyouzi, and led the girl inside.
Youyouzi followed the maid into the house, curiously looking left and right, sizing up the villa's decor, and inwardly exclaiming that it was indeed the residence of a prophet, so luxurious, with exquisitely crafted, vividly colored statues and paintings everywhere. Vivid colors often meant high value; the more ornate the appearance, the more expensive it was, a characteristic of hedonism.
Upon entering the living room, Youyouzi's bright and round deer-like eyes finally stopped wandering because her attention was completely captured by a man sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
Gu Chi also saw Youyouzi, but he did not intend to get up to greet her.
The keyword for a prophet is nobility, and for 999 all attributes, it's indifference; the character setting must not collapse.
And from a psychological perspective, constant humility and enthusiasm do not necessarily endear one to others; rather, it's the occasional warmth shown amidst cold indifference that is more heart-stirring.
He didn't need to deliberately cater to Youyouzi; he just needed to let this girl understand that she was special to him.
Girls' thoughts are usually more delicate; they are good at noticing details and care about them, which also makes them more easily captivated by details.
So Gu Chi didn't wear a mask.
Dressed in a simple sports outfit and jeans, with her hair in a ponytail, Youyouzi looked just like a vibrant 18-year-old pure college girl.
Perhaps she really was one in reality?
Gu Chi put down the newspaper he had just picked up for show and smiled slightly at the girl, "Hello, Miss Youyouzi."
Being able to call out her ID, this man must definitely be the prophet himself, although he had taken off his robe, the black shirt inside remained unchanged. Youyouzi didn't react for a moment, her eyes widened, her breathing slightly hurried, her cheeks flushed with a hint of red. Why hadn't anyone told her in advance that the prophet looked like this...
This NPC is so handsome; she really wanted to carve a rose into his heart... No, one rose is not enough, carve two!
In pairs!
"Miss Youyouzi?"
"Ah..." Youyouzi quickly concealed the fascination in her eyes, revealing a sunny and sweet smile, and took the initiative to walk over and extend her hand to Gu Chi, "Hello, Mr. Prophet."
"We at the Iris Church do not have the custom of shaking hands," Gu Chi said with a faint smile, but while he said so, he still extended his hand and shook hands with the girl, "Please have a seat."
"Mhm." Youyouzi was not restrained, behaving generously and casually, which was specifically reflected in her bright eyes that kept staring at Gu Chi, as if admiring a piece of art.
Looking into someone's eyes with a soft gaze while speaking is a form of etiquette, and Youyouzi didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so... Oh, she hadn't spoken yet.
No matter, she'll speak now!
"Mr. Prophet, do you have any wishes?" Youyouzi broached the subject, not forgetting why she had come to find Gu Chi. Although it seemed a bit eager to ask about the mission after only a few words, she was a player after all, and players sought out NPCs to get help, right?
Mainly, she was just too eager to take on a mission. Other players' progress might already be halfway, and she still didn't know what she should do.
So, handsome Mr. Prophet, please assign a mission to the cute girl before you!
Gu Chi clearly felt Youyouzi's inner eagerness. With such enthusiasm, it would be impolite not to satisfy her, wouldn't it?
Thus, Gu Chi's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence, and he spoke softly, "My wish... I don't seem to have any wishes right now, but I did have one when I was a child."
Youyouzi asked expectantly, "What was it?"
Gu Chi: "My wish was for someone to help me fulfill ten other wishes."
Youyouzi: "......?"
