Chapter 466 - 460: Fleecing the God of Slaughter
The five members of Ji Xiuyin’s squad are now mixed together, fried to a golden crisp in air, with a sprinkle of cinnamon powder, lying quietly on the plate.
At the edge of the plate, rose petals are scattered as decoration.
Ji Xiuyin adjusted his perspective and saw a handsome man in a gaudy red suit with slicked-back hair push open the kitchen door and walk straight towards the squad.
"Cinnamon and rose petals... a strange combination."
"Red and gold, both are bright colors I like."
"Crispy texture, the taste... passable, but lacking surprise."
The NPC, who looks remarkably like Zhao Guanlan, seems to have tasted many foods and doesn’t feel hungry, disinterestedly picking up the fried food with two chopsticks and putting it into his mouth.
Crack, crack...
"Exquisite Golden Rose Cream Apple Banana Pie! Crafted with ingenuity! Welcome to taste!"
Ji Xiuyin suddenly maxed out the volume, shouting a line filled with extreme pride and embarrassment.
The game character, who looked incredibly similar to Zhao Guanlan, froze for a moment, then grinned and said, "A dish that screams?"
"Interesting."
"Reluctantly give it an A-level."
Bang!
The scene changes, and Ji Xiuyin and his teammates are all kicked out of the kitchen and into the settlement screen.
Ji Xiuyin, A-level rating, 80 game points.
The other four teammates all got B-level ratings, 60 points each.
Ji Xiuyin’s thigh wasn’t as thick as Zhou Yu the Blazing Rock Funeralist’s, but in this round, the five showed a tacit cooperation that earned them considerable team bonuses.
"That was satisfying! Second Rank of Inner Qi, wait for me!"
Ji Xiuyin’s face flushed with excitement.
This rating is just one level higher than last time, but the nature is entirely different!
The second round was about clinging to a thigh, but this round, he was the thigh!
In truth, Ji Xiuyin knew very well that it was mainly the support of the Level 1 VIP privileges; otherwise, he would absolutely not have received this rating!
"From today on, an extra task every day."
"Pray to Game Main God Xuan for one hour every day!"
"VIP level must stay ahead!"
"I don’t really care about the ability to lock a target’s real-world position by name or title."
"I usually get along with people and don’t make enemies in the game."
"But... the [Xuan’s Favor] of Level 2 VIP, I must obtain it!"
After the third round of the Main God Game ended, many players had thoughts similar to Ji Xiuyin’s.
Level 2 VIP privilege is essentially a protective talisman only circulated among players: whoever kills you will be fined two hundred game points.
This is a layer of protection!
...
United Kingdom, London.
This is the capital of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, once reputed as the world’s financial center. Since the arrival of the Extraordinary Era, it has been underperforming, with various attribute values surpassed by cities in China where major Academic Societies are stationed.
At this moment, the entire city is shrouded in dense fog.
At the top of a spire, Bradley, titled the [Undying Gentleman], slowly put down his phone, looked up with a gloomy expression.
Not far away, William, known as the [Light Speed Gentleman], was smiling as he put away his phone.
"William, I encountered a group of dim-witted teammates who dragged me down, and I only got a D-level rating."
Bradley sighed, "20 game points, way too few."
Though he is so-called undying, Bradley knew very well that he was not invincible in the true sense.
Were those Longevity Star People once so overbearing?
When their physical bodies were destroyed, they’d just switch to another, treating bodies like clothes; as long as their consciousness wasn’t destroyed, they wouldn’t easily die. They treated Earth like their playground.
What happened later?
Weren’t they still counterattacked by people like [Martial God], [Prophet], [Demon Child], and rubbed mercilessly into the ground?
Bradley understands his shortfall more than anyone—his soul!
The body might not die, but once his soul is annihilated, he would still completely vanish from this world.
The current Earth is an Extraordinary Era, and the means of targeting the soul are as numerous as carp in the river, countless!
Often, discovering a problem doesn’t mean it can be solved.
Just like Ji Xiuyin, who knows his problem is a lack of focus, but for him to figure out how to solve it is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Since awakening his superpower, Bradley has been trying to strengthen his soul and enhance his spiritual resilience.
From the Eastern practices of yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, to Western meditation, prayer, baptism, even to the extreme of human nuclear explosion experiments...
Bradley has personally experienced all the above.
Unfortunately, they almost had no effect, and all the attempts combined only improved his soul’s strength by less than one thousandth.
After scientific comparisons and supernatural power analysis, Bradley sadly discovered that this improvement was only due to his own experiences and insights and wasn’t repeatable. Doing it again wouldn’t yield any results.
However, the Game Main God, this mysterious being with a seemingly neutral stance of order, could help him improve his soul strength!
Even if it’s just a one ten-thousandth improvement, it’s repeatable!
"I’ve been fortunate to encounter a youthful yet very promising Chinese Captain."
William adjusted his collar and ran a finger over his mustache, glancing calmly at Bradley: "Despite being held back by the team, I still got a B-level rating because of the team’s comprehensive weighting."
The reason he participated in the Main God Game is actually quite similar to this temporary ally before him, which is to supplement his own abilities.
As the [Light Speed Gentleman], his superpower is known as [Chasing Light], enabling him to enhance his speed to a level almost at light speed during peak performance.
But William’s biggest problem is that his strengths are too prominent, with no advantage in other aspects.
He needs to strengthen his attributes beyond just speed.
Stamina, defense, recovery ability, area attack methods...
Too many weaknesses!
As an S-level Ability User, William enjoys privileges not available to other British citizens, and with the help of the Imperial Family, he obtained a manual modified by Ma Ran that allows cultivation to the Twelfth Rank of Inner Qi: [Burning Martial].
This Extraordinary System refined by Ma Ran is comprehensive and powerful, seemingly without any flaws.
Yet William quickly found out...
He has no outstanding talent in [Burning Martial] cultivation.
Mediocre.
Extremely mediocre!
As ordinary as any other [Burning Martial] cultivator!
Not showcasing a hint of his S-level Ability User flair!
Thus, compared to the [Burning Martial] system, which requires a significant time and energy investment to slow accumulation and meticulous self-refinement, William prefers the new extraordinary platform offered by the Game Main God.
Initially, Bradley and William, the UK’s only two S-level Ability Users, held different beliefs and frequently conflicted, highlighted by the term "regional discrimination."
There’s no need to explain much.
But recent complex situations and urgent circumstances demanded the two put aside their prejudices and cooperate harmoniously.
"The Evil God Followers are becoming more rampant." Bradley stepped forward a few steps, stopping five centimeters from William, staring at him intently, "In twenty-four hours, more than three thousand pet abuse incidents and over a thousand vicious murder cases occurred within the UK."
"The investigation and analysis by relevant departments concluded that..."
"These self-proclaimed followers of the [God of Slaughter] all claimed to have seen the Celestial Cave in the Bermuda Triangle in their dreams."
William’s expression wasn’t too pleasant either.
This level of disaster hasn’t just happened in the UK; it’s appearing globally in tandem.
It wouldn’t be much of a problem if everyone did equally poorly.
But...
Comparisons are alarming.
Data show that within twenty-four hours, the number of vicious murder cases in China was only one percent of the UK’s.
The majority of Chinese receiving the "divine revelation" opted to pay for work in slaughterhouses, temporarily experiencing a new, bloody lifestyle.
Slaughtering pigs, cattle, chickens, ducks, fish...
In terms of what people on the Earth Super Forum said—shearing the God of Slaughter’s wool.
In this way, those who risked it all and turned their blades on their own people, the followers of the Evil God, appeared quite foolish.
However...
The UK abolished the death penalty long ago in the latter half of the last century.
They would only receive some symbolic, insignificant punishments.
