The player meeting continued until 1 am.

Under the operation of Power 39, the individual mode temporarily turned into a team mode.

As Power 39 said, everyone had some clues in their hands, and the only person without clues had not arrived yet.

Including Xia Ling, eleven players quickly figured out the worldview and task process of this instance.

The clues in their hands were not comprehensive, and many people did not specifically look for them, waiting to snatch other people's clues.

Players who honestly completed the tasks were at a bit of a disadvantage, but not too much.

The most precious thing in life is never temporary benefits, but the experience of learning throughout life.

Individual mode does not do public tasks, but specifically focuses on targeting other players - they will play like this in the future!

Among the crowd, there were a few bad people who could only provide background information when entering the instance. Everyone thought that the clues were not enough, and they needed to arrange people to do the tasks. But when they carefully organized the known information, they found that everyone's luck seemed to be very good, with nearly twenty clues and not a single repeat.

Everyone was discussing and using their imagination and logic, based on their previous gaming experiences in the Morning Star game, and they managed to piece together a bizarre yet reasonable worldview, although it lacked details, the general direction should be correct.

"We might be inside a sphere," Xia Ling said.

Previously, in order to save time, players with demands took turns to find the prophet for divination, and both sides conducted it simultaneously. This caused Gu Chi to miss out on many things. When everyone left, Xia Ling came to give Gu Chi a lesson.

The two of them sat at the dining table in the bedroom, eating supper. The girl told the story like a history teacher.

"In the history of the Iris Church, there was a female pope named Shilawa, who served for about 5400-5500 years. She was proficient in spatial magic and had tremendous strength. During the war, she forcibly constructed a portal connecting the outside world within the military base of the Morning Star government, leading the Iris Church to catch the Morning Star government off guard."

"At that time, the Morning Star government was not as powerful as it is now. Shilawa opened the situation with this attack. With the support of numerous legions, they launched a pincer attack, both internally and externally, and defeated the Morning Star government, occupying more than ten important cities within a month, almost destroying the Morning Star government."

"It wasn't until later that her teacher intervened, and the president signed a hundred-year treaty of defeat, ceding territory and paying reparations, almost emptying the treasury, before Shilawa agreed to stop."

Xia Ling picked up a freshly baked caramel donut and fed it to Gu Chi's mouth. "The war was called the 'Pioneer War' by the Iris Church. After the war, the territory of the Morning Star government changed into this shape."

Gu Chi took a bite of the donut. It tasted good, not as fragrant as the fried ones, but softer and more delicious.

"What was her teacher like?" Gu Chi asked.

Xia Ling also took a bite of the donut and mumbled, "Her teacher's name was Omuda."

Shilawa used a sword and combined it with magic for close combat. In terms of magic power, this female pope should be an eighth-order mage - which was already very powerful. Almost all the popes throughout history were at this level. In addition to Shilawa's superb swordsmanship and mastery of spatial magic, her actual combat power far exceeded that of other popes. She could be said to be unparalleled in history.

And her teacher, Omuda, who taught her spatial magic, was the only known ninth-order grand mage of the Iris Church.

"Omuda is proficient in spatial magic and natural magic, knowledgeable, kind, and gentle. It is said that he is an old man with a white beard who likes to wear old clothes and small round glasses. Before the Pioneer War, he and Shilawa attempted a magical experiment, trying to create a small world inside a crystal ball, but it ended in failure."

It was unclear why the experiment failed, and it was not important. This information was not useful for them, as long as it provided them with a direction.

The experiment failed around 5400 years ago, and now it was the winter of 5985. Four to five hundred years had passed. This area and the church were all named after the grand mage Omuda. It was not unreasonable to boldly assume that after the Pioneer War, Omuda conducted multiple experiments, found and solved the problems, and eventually successfully created a spherical crystal containing a world.

So Xia Ling said that they might be living inside a sphere.

The peculiar artistic style of this city also had a reasonable explanation.

It wasn't just like a jigsaw puzzle, it really was a jigsaw puzzle.

Initially, this land probably didn't have much, and Omuda or the Iris Church saw something good, and in a specific way, they brought them in and formed the city and towns.

Of course, it was also possible that only people were brought in, and these buildings were built by themselves.

People's aesthetics and fetishes were very free, and it was not completely incomprehensible to like this strange artistic style.

Gu Chi took another bite of the donut and said, "I think so."

Combining Chase Lee's words, this was a sheltered place where one could escape the apocalypse. If the Omuda District was really a crystal ball, as long as the ball was hidden, it was logically sound.

When he entered the instance earlier, the instance introduction gave information that the Omuda District was about to be destroyed - the word "destruction" in Gu Chi's understanding was inclined towards violence, with a deep level of destruction. The public task was to make them run, indicating that this "destruction" was probably unstoppable and could not be resisted.

On the other hand, the players' identities included two major factions, enterprises and governments, each with their own contacts, which meant that there were undercover agents from both factions hidden within the Omuda District.

Gu Chi also boldly speculated, "These undercover agents might have a way to contact the outside world, help the enterprises and governments locate the position of the crystal ball, and as long as the crystal ball was destroyed, it would be equivalent to destroying the Omuda District."

Furthermore, even forbidden curses were hidden here, so there might be other secrets of the Iris Church preserved here.Xia Ling stuffed the last piece of donut into Gu Chi's mouth and praised, "Gu Chi gege is really smart."

Gu Chi: "......"

Although it was true, it sounded a bit stiff, like an untimely cheesy pickup line.

He gently reminded the girl, "Constant flattery can be awkward."

Xia Ling looked innocent, "Isn't it all learned from you?"

Gu Chi was puzzled, "Have I ever flattered anyone?"

"These two words should be looked at separately," Xia Ling explained, "Who doesn't know how to praise others? There's no need to learn that. What I learned from you is 'hard', and when you put them together, it's 'hard flattery'."

Gu Chi: "......"

6.

As the car drove on, Xia Ling didn't give Gu Chi a chance to respond and continued to talk cheerfully about the public tasks.

"The entire Omuda District is now self-sufficient for daily life, but if we want to improve the industrial level and quality of life, such as airships and mobile phones, we still need outside help."

The development of civilization is a long process, and it is most difficult to start from scratch. Providing some templates and samples will make the starting point of the Omuda District higher and the development faster.

The Iris Church will send some supplies or modules every once in a while, and the next time will be the day after tomorrow. The priest in charge of this work has the 'key' to enter and exit the Omuda District. Once we get the key, we can leave here.

These are the main points of tonight's player meeting.

After Xia Ling summarized it, it became simple and refined, but in reality, they had discussed it for a long time. Everyone thought their own speculation was correct, so a group of players repeatedly checked each other's bugs, attacked each other, and supplemented logic, like a heated free debate. From Xia Ling's perspective, she felt that none of these players were as smart as Gu Chi. Her Gu Chi gege was the best, and she wouldn't accept any objections.

But well, the old players indeed had some experience, and they had a lot of information outside the game. Even if every three people opposed Gu Chi, there were still three Gu Chis—39 strength didn't count, and the suited man didn't participate in the discussion at all, only saying one thing from beginning to end: "Hmm, you're right."

Xia Ling herself couldn't resist Gu Chi, only Gu Chi gege could resist her.

Hehe.

In any case, the wisdom of the masses is infinite. For this kind of individual, plotless instance, eleven old players' analysis was more than enough. It may not be 100% correct, but at least 80% was not a problem.

Gu Chi now only had one word in his mind: comfortable!

No need to collect clues, no need to rack his brain to decipher, the worldview and public tasks naturally presented themselves to him and Xia Ling.

The forbidden curse also had the help of the Ghostly Child.

It's a good thing to have a prophet!

But.

The premise is not to be exposed.

At this late hour, the players had also left. According to Gu Chi and Xia Ling's living habits, they should have changed into their pajamas long ago, but now they were still wearing the clothes they had worn during the day, showing no intention of changing.

"That radar... are you sure it might have the function of detecting the number of players?" Gu Chi asked the girl.

Xia Ling nodded, "Not only can it, but the detection range can also be adjusted below the maximum value."

Instruments in the technology category are usually more precise and have relatively detailed functions. It's not like a fan that only has a few settings, but can be customized to a certain extent.

In other words, the player with the ID "Don't hit me, I surrender" can adjust the radar's detection range to the size of the meeting room, so when Gu Chi walks out of the room, the number will immediately change.

"It seems that we can only silence him," Gu Chi sighed lightly.

He had been thinking about this problem for a long time, from the moment Xia Ling came downstairs to tell him that he might have been discovered. The good news was that until the end of the meeting, "Don't surrender" didn't discuss this matter with other players. He should have only told one player.

The bad news is that this player is 39 strength, the strongest in this game.

With a total of 200+ attributes and at least five or six years of game experience, even if Xia Ling, Tian Tian, Ling Mao, and Huang Ya were all there, if they fought 39 strength as a boss, they would probably be defeated in an instant.

139 points of strength don't need any fancy moves, one force can break all methods.

Gu Chi knew early on that he couldn't hide for too long under the eyes of a group of old players, so he deliberately changed to a more exaggerated false attribute at the time, so that even if he was found out, he could still pretend for a while. As long as the players didn't join forces, no one should dare to come and test him.

He didn't give Xia Ling a BUFF, just to express a "fair" attitude at this time. Xia Ling could also help him keep an eye on the movements of other players in the team.

On the other hand, 39 strength did not disappoint him, and he didn't miss the opportunity for all the players to collectively fight naked, preliminarily controlling the rhythm of the game.

It can be said that almost everything that happened tonight was within his expectations—except for that radar.

Gu Chi could be exposed, but not too early.

Now none of the players have died, and the Ashes of Annihilation have not been obtained yet. The task and skills, they have to take down one first, right?

"Did you set a trap for him?" Xia Ling asked.

The task for "Don't surrender" is to find the Witch's Chessboard of Katherin. When they discussed the worldview tonight, he went to Gu Chi once to ask for help in divining the whereabouts of the chessboard. Xia Ling felt that there was some room for manipulation here.

"No," Gu Chi shook his head, "It's too late."

He understood Xia Ling's meaning, just casually tell "Don't surrender" a place to go, and they could use verbal magic to set up a magic circle in advance, either killing or trapping him.

But the timing was difficult to control.

They didn't know when "Don't surrender" would go, and they didn't know if anyone would go with him.

The other party had probably already seen that he had a problem, and as long as they were a little more cautious, it would be difficult for them to outwit the other party.So Gu Chi simply told the real location to "Don't Surrender," just in case he couldn't kill him, he could also use this to prove his own abilities.

This was personally divined by the true prophet, Mr. Charles, and it couldn't be wrong.

"Don't Surrender" didn't show any unusual behavior when facing him alone, very polite, probably afraid of being silenced?

Gu Chi thought for a moment and said, "We might encounter three situations later."

The reason he didn't rush to find "Don't Surrender" but instead had a late-night snack with Xia Ling to refine their worldview before discussing this matter was to specifically give time for "Don't Surrender" and Power 39 to separate—if they would separate at all.

The former has only an attribute of 113, main strength with agility, and a fragile build. He could support the girl, making "Don't Surrender" drop a few frames, and with Xia Ling's ultimate move, she should be able to finish him instantly. But if Power 39 and "Don't Surrender" stayed together, then there would be no fight.

This was the second situation.

"If Power 39 isn't there, we are going to kill tonight," Gu Chi said, "If he is, we are just passing by casually, or negotiating, depending on whether they really know my identity."

"The third situation is all players still gathered together, then I'll just give a random prophecy as a notice, like the destruction time of Omuda District being moved up."

This possibility was very small; in individual mode, no one would easily trust their "teammates." Even if they stayed in the same hotel, they wouldn't sleep peacefully. But considering the cohesion of over 200 that Power 39 brought to everyone, Gu Chi thought it was still better to mention it.

He didn't plan to use invisibility this time.

Invisibility is a sign of guilt, and if the other party had anti-invisibility items, it would be quite the spectacle.

Handling things with 999 in all attributes and still sneaking around would be suspicious.

Better to teleport over openly, which could barely be considered a show of force... Anyway, it was about improvising.

Xia Ling was full of confidence: "Don't worry, I'm quite good at acting."

"Hope there's no need to act," Gu Chi said.

It would be best if it was just "Don't Surrender" alone, kill him and be done with it, and at the same time, intimidate Power 39 and other players who might be in the know.

Gu Chi wasn't good at fighting, but he was very skilled at managing his persona.

Once Xia Ling was ready, Gu Chi took the girl's hand and began to apply buffs.

But before he could finish his first sentence, a system prompt jumped out first—

【Player "Don't Hit Me, I Surrender" has died, mission failed, remaining player count: 11】

Xia Ling: "?"

Gu Chi: "?"
