Chapter 703 The Avengers, and A New Round of Mental Strength Cultivation

“It's said that… people vanished from a few more towns in

the Orc Kingdom lately…?”

Not only the orcs players in the shop, but Mercenary

Crete who had just entered the shop had heard about the news.

“It seems like the border area of our homeland isn't

peaceful lately…” Mr. Dirk was also talking about it with his audience.

“Have they found out what had happened?”

“It seems like not yet.”

In the endless void, a huge shadow seemed to be

spreading in silence.

Hovering in the dark void, it emitted death and horror

that could swallow everything.

As if summoned by something, it got closer and closer to

the huge continent.

Sitting in the high and dark void, its huge eye looked

down and monitored everything that was happening in

the world.

“Ms. Dicas, do you think there really are G.o.ds in the world?”

“What are you talking about? Those miracles and

catastrophes were not fake, and the ruins of those

catastrophes can still be seen in some nations.”

“You're right.”

On the screen, Mr. Fang's livestream teaching session for

beginners was approaching the end.

“Now, you're facing two bosses. But still, you must attack

and kill these mobs with well—organized moves. You need

to kill the priest first before handling the paladin,” Mr.

Fang said.

High Inquisitor Sally Whitemane was a powerful priestess

and accompanied Commander Mograine as his lover. She

had a more powerful resurrection spell than the one that

players had.

The players were not strangers to resurrection since they

had seen it in Diablo 2. The lords of h.e.l.l in Diablo had

been killed many times, but their souls still remained in

the world.

Likewise, the resurrection spells of World of Warcraft

could pull back the players' souls, repair their bodies, and

bring them back to life.

It was well known that the conditions required for the

resurrection spell that the players had learned were very

strict. Even though the paladins and priests in the game

were extremely devoted and faithful by default, they

could only cast the spell in an extremely quiet

environment without any disturbance.

If the players were attacked during the casting process,

the spell would be interrupted.

However, Whitemane only needed to put the players to

sleep for a little while and then quickly cast the

resurrection spell.

“We must kill this priestess first,” Mr. Fang said,

“Otherwise, you'll face a paladin who can't be killed.”

Of course, it wasn't easy to kill the priestess who stood

behind and was protected by a powerful and fierce

paladin.

If the enemies had a mage with them, they could form a

team of warrior, mage, and priestess to battle the players

since paladins could count as half a warrior.

Their current partners.h.i.+p of warrior and priestess was

still a combination very hard to defeat.

“So, we need a nimble cla.s.s which can bypa.s.s the paladin.

Meanwhile, our tank must hold off the enemies on the

frontline.”

In fact, this was more like a PVP instead of PVE.

It was how it felt like when five low—level, poorly—

equipped players fought with two high—level, well—

equipped players with special abilities.

It must be noted that in the system version of World of

Warcraft, Mograine would flee with Whitemane's corpse

after they were defeated. Only when someone took back

the fallen Ashbringer from Mograine's father, Old

Mograine, who had been resurrected as one of the

powerful Four Hors.e.m.e.n under the Lich King, could

Mograine be finally killed.

Of course, that wouldn't happen for a long time.

With the boss fleeing, the players looted in a different

way compared to the original version. After Fang Qi and

his party defeated their enemies, a loot chest appeared in

the center of the cathedral. [Loot gathered after

searching the cathedral.]

“Aegis of the Scarlet Commander?”

“The attributes are so good…”

“With such a s.h.i.+eld, the tank will be unrivaled!”

The equipment triggered waves of exclamations. Of

course, Mr. Fang backed out of that conversation since

his purpose was teaching the new players some basic

knowledge and terms in the game.

Female Knight Helen of the Golden Griffin Knight Legion

came to the shop very late today; she didn't play the game

through the night yesterday, but her face looked haggard.

Lately, she always dreamed of some strange and weird

things, which gave her an inexplicable feeling.

Fear could erode and eat away one's will like a horrifying

plague.

At this moment, an invisible plague seemed to be

spreading in the crowds silently.

— In the distant Silver Moon Forest of the Elf Clan —

Several elders of the Elf Clan gathered on the bank of the

mirror—like lake.

“Do you sense… the force of horror in the darkness…?”

The silver—haired and silver—bearded old elf murmured,

“It's getting stronger each day. Fear… can erode people's

will, and darkness will swallow their remaining

consciousness… Eventually, they will become the puppets

of fear…”

“We must find the followers of those shadows as soon as

possible,” another elder said, “We can't let it continue!

Otherwise, we'll completely lose all power to resist them

when they arrive!”

“Ahh—I” In the new shop, a shrill scream sounded. Helen

seemed to have b.u.mped into someone and then jumped

away like a startled rabbit.

“What's wrong with you? You scared me…” Mr. Fang

looked at her disapprovingly.

“No… nothing.” Her voice was as quiet as the buzzing of a

mosquito's wings. “I'll go and get online.”

“Am I so scary…” He did nothing but send this girl flying

with a sneeze before.

At this moment, Fang Qi seemed to feel a tiny but

extremely creepy force invading his brain.

Mr. Fang s.h.i.+vered, but this force seemed to have done no

harm to him and soon disappeared.

At this moment, Fang Qi suddenly received a new prompt.

[With the number of players in the new shop reaching

5,000, a special movie will be activated in the new shop.]

[You have obtained the right to release the special movie,

The Avengers, in the new shop, and you can also choose

to release it in the old shops at the same time.]

[New Task: A New Round of Mental Strength Cultivation

Task Objective: As a shop owner, you must have a tougher

mind than the customers. Please enter the game

cultivation room for special training until the task is

finished.

Task Reward: Outlast: Virtual Reality Remake

Task Description: After training in this game, our mental

fort.i.tude will be even more powerful]

Although the system had once released Silent Hill which

could also toughen one's mental strength, the bigger

feature of that game was to remove inner demons and

patch up the holes in people's minds.

Obviously, this game was a bit different.

“Outlast…?” Mr. Fang glanced at the System Interface,

and his expression turned dark. “Your aim is not to

strengthen my mind but to shatter it, right?”

Words appeared on the System Interface, [A product of

the System.]
