I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 937 495: You Got Beaten Up by Plants and Animals—What Does That Have to Do with Me, a Vegetative Person?

"So, this is really Qin Ji's fault?" Gu Shanhai looked at the intelligence pried from the special ops team disguised as travelers by Zhu Qi, feeling a bit speechless.

This was truly an unwarranted disaster.

"Send them over, I'll enlighten them a bit and let them go back to report." There was no way Gu Shanhai would suggest holding them or killing them directly.

That would indirectly prove there's an issue here.

Instead, sending them back to help confirm there are no problems here and dispelling the doubts of the other two deputy directors of the bureau is the most important thing.

The process was also very smooth. This special ops team looked well-equipped, but was actually just a group of ordinary people, without any Transcendent abilities; they were quickly convinced and after Zhu Qi's persuasion, they became part of the team.

Afterward, they were naturally released to resolve things on their own.

Gu Shanhai wasn't overly concerned about the opposition discovering anything afterwards that could threaten him. It's just easier to avoid trouble when it's unnecessary to fuss over these matters.

"Qing Feng and Ming Yue should also be preparing to take action against the Demon Race, right?"

Since Gu Shanhai passed on the God Demon Technique to Qing Feng and Ming Yue, their natural talents coupled with the special technique had significantly accelerated their cultivation speed, advancing them rapidly.

As a result, during this time, they successfully broke through to the Heavenly Human Unity Realm.

This rapid progress made everyone in the Da Xuan Dynasty envious and resentful, but thinking about Gu Shanhai, a God Demon, backing them, all such feelings were curbed.

"Hopefully, we can coordinate well; I don't have many days left here."

The Player Management Bureau was indeed quite competent, as the plans he set in motion were progressing smoothly.

"In this world, the player's identity is truly useful." He posed as an incredibly ancient player, even sent them over, and set up people to stage a play, which succeeded.

There's no need to worry that Qin Ji would find anything suspicious from the resources, as preventive measures had long been taken.

"However, there truly are remarkably capable people among the players."

Gu Shanhai had found a player who had survived for nearly tens of thousands of years. Even if not from the first batch of 'Civilization Game' players, surviving for so long means he has deeply entrenched himself in some world, possibly having completed a final task and is in a retirement phase.

As for his power, it was pretty decent but not matching the God Demons of the Da Xuan Dynasty; at most, he was at the Grandmaster Realm. Still, his longevity was astonishing, leading Gu Shanhai to suspect he might have gained an immortal quality akin to that of a God Demon.

From this, Gu Shanhai could ascertain one thing: the boost from 'Civilization Game' to players is limited, as after tens of thousands of years, and even with all these enhancements, he only reached the strength of a Grandmaster Realm, possessing merely the physical and soul strength, without the actual combat capabilities of that realm.

But this was normal, as players in this world are not like the cultivators of the Da Xuan Dynasty; they don't need to battle constantly.

"It's just that this player might no longer be able to leave his abode, and is nearing unity with the world."

This player, an original man, resides in a very primitive underground cave, with his game carrier being murals on the mountaintop.

Due to his deep immersion in the 'Civilization Game,' he cannot leave the underground cave, and because of his influence, the area has become a restricted zone, instinctively ignored and avoided by anyone passing by, effectively isolating it from the world.

"This can no longer be considered a human; it's more like a humanoid computer, rigidly maintaining the civilization he created."

"Damn, does this count as an artificial Heavenly Dao?"

Gu Shanhai suddenly realized it might indeed be the case.

"Hmm? Probably not." Comparing the data, Gu Shanhai found there was a significant difference from a Heavenly Dao, especially in terms of authority; he was far inferior to the Heavenly Dao, at most a legal representative without real control, pushed out as a scapegoat at critical moments.

"Alternatively, his value might have been squeezed dry after being enhanced to around the Grandmaster Realm's power, so subsequently, he was only given a longer life to maintain the world according to the 'Civilization Game's' vision."

"And the Grandmaster Realm is the peak of player rewards."

"Thinking like this, it does seem quite stingy."

If 'Civilization Game' were truly so generous, there wouldn't be so many convoluted issues.

"Apart from this player who lived for tens of thousands of years and evolved into a humanoid computer, there are also a few players who have lived for thousands of years."

"While their state is not as rigid as the humanoid computer, they are quite similar; almost like those nearing-end ancestors in cultivation families, seldom leaving their ancestral grounds for cultivation."

Although these players have no lifespan issues, they cannot leave and are gradually constrained by their locations, with instinctive rejection growing stronger over time.

So those high-level players encountered by the Player Management Bureau truly pale in comparison to these few players.

"Those in power never care about the fate of their tools, and even hope to make them more obedient, especially when their value sharply decreases or disappears."
