"Huh? You're saying that this boss, and all the monsters behind him, are listening to you now? " At the entrance of the valley, the Jade Emperor looked at Li Huailin's Skeletons in disbelief. Although Li Huailin always came up with some inexplicable situations, she really didn't expect this kind of situation. Could he really make the wild monsters surrender?
"Yeah, look at me. When I raise my head and puff out my chest, the boss will surrender to me," Li Huailin said as he raised his head.
"Hehe …" The Jade Emperor didn't know what expression to use to mock him. What the hell was that supposed to mean?
"That works?" It wasn't just the Jade Emperor and Marinka. Even the three Protoss were a little stunned. They really didn't know where these Skeletons came from. They didn't kill Cojamil and the others here. They really thought that the Skeletons on the island had absorbed God's power and mutated into monsters. How could they be subdued?
But seeing how the Skeletons stood behind Li Huailin and didn't attack Li Huailin at all, they still believed him, even though they didn't know how he did it.
"How did he do it?" Saint Levena couldn't help but ask. She had never heard of a Chosen One having such an ability.
"Of course, it's because I'm more powerful." Li Huailin casually said. Of course, he wouldn't tell anyone about Dim Light. He had also told Cojamil that he wouldn't talk to anyone else, even though he could. Right now, he just needed to listen to Li Huailin's orders.
Saint Levena didn't ask much, because they were just guiding Gods. They couldn't interfere with the competition. She only asked because she was curious. Since Li Huailin didn't want to say anything, she couldn't force him either.
"But why are you looking for these monsters? You said you had a plan? " The Jade Emperor Summoning asked about this, but before Li Huailin could answer, the Jade Emperor Summoning suddenly had an idea. "Are you going to let these monsters help you find someone?"
"Half correct," Li Huailin said.
"Half?" the Jade Emperor asked.
Li Huailin nodded. Previously, he had already asked around. These monsters obeyed Kojamir's commands, so Kojamir could order them to roam freely. Then, he would order them to make loud noises whenever they saw a player. This way, Li Huailin would be able to hear the commotion from the air and immediately rush to the scene. So, finding people was a good idea. However, this wasn't what Li Huailin needed the most.
"Finding people is one of them, but it's not their most important role." Li Huailin said, "After listening to the rules of this trial, didn't you notice a very serious loophole?"
"A serious loophole?" The Summoning Jade Emperor and Marinka were both stunned. They didn't hear any loopholes. When Li Huailin said this, the three goddesses gathered around him curiously. This trial was set by the Ruler of God. How could there be a loophole?
"Listen up. There is a rule in the rules. After a player dies, they will Rebirth in a safe place, right?" Li Huailin said. "Since it's a safe place, it means that although the resurrection location is random, there must be no monsters around. Not only must there be no other players, but there must also be no monsters, right? Otherwise, it won't be a safe place. Am I right?"
As Li Huailin spoke, he looked at the three goddesses beside him. Of course, the God of Guidance would guide the rules. So, he immediately nodded, confirming Li Huailin's words. There was indeed such a rule.
"So, how big is this so-called safe area?" Li Huailin continued, "They didn't specify the range, but we can make a guess. First of all, a player's attack range should be as high as 35 yards for Mages and Hunters. As for the safe area, it should be at least 35 yards away. According to my guess, it should be around 40 to 50 yards away. Am I right?"
"Hmm, so?" Li Huailin's analysis made sense. If the safe area was within 35 yards, it meant that a player could resurrect next to the same person. This obviously didn't fit the definition of "safe".
"So … do you still not understand?" Li Huailin frowned when he saw that the two goddesses did not seem to understand. "In other words, we can control the players' resurrection point."
"Huh?" The Summoning Jade Emperor and Marinka were stunned. They did not understand what was going on. How did these two things connect?
"I …" Li Huailin took a deep breath. "To put it simply, as long as I stand here, a 40-yard radius should be the area where I can't resurrect, right?"
"Yes … Wait …" The Summoning Jade Emperor was the first to react. "You mean … to let these monsters … occupy the area?"
"Oh my god. You finally figured it out." Li Huailin nodded immediately. "I've seen it just now. This island isn't very big. A monster standing on the ground can create a 40-yard radius where they can't Resurrect. Look at the guys behind me. If they occupy the entire island, doesn't that mean that there's no place for players to resurrect after they die?"
"That … That works?" The Summoning Jade Emperor and Marinka were shocked. However, what Li Huailin said made sense. There seemed to be no problem with the logic. However, would this really work? The previous rules did not mention what would happen if there was no safe area for players to resurrect. The two goddesses immediately shifted their gazes to the three Goddesses beside them. It was obvious that they wanted to know how this would work according to the rules.
The three Goddesses were stunned. Indeed, they did not expect such a situation to occur. The island was not very large. Although there were places to grind monsters, there were still many safe areas. In theory, it should be impossible for players to resurrect without a safe area. They also did not think that someone would be able to convince monsters to occupy a territory for them. Then, there would be no safe area on the island. This was not mentioned in the rules.
"Woody, how does this work?" Saint Gaius was the first to give up on thinking. He turned to his friend, Saint Udilis, and asked.
"I don't know, either. This … seems to be a loophole." Saint Udilis also tilted his head, and then both of them consciously looked at Saint Levina, who was beside him. After all, Saint Levina was the God with the highest position here, so she naturally knew a lot more than Saint Levina.
"Indeed … the rules of the trial did not mention what would happen if you encountered such a situation …" Saint Levina nodded with a slightly serious expression. "But this is very difficult to achieve. Even if you have enough monsters, it should be a little difficult to occupy the entire island. As long as one of them is killed by another Chosen One, won't this area become a safe area again?"
"Hey, besides the few of us, who else knows about the occupation of a territory?" Li Huailin spread his hands. "I don't think anyone will actively seek out these skeletons to kill unless they encounter them by chance. It is possible that the other party wants to farm some divine power and kill them. But didn't I say that these skeletons can also be used for reconnaissance? If they really encounter other players, they will report to me, and I will rush over."
Li Huailin paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, I didn't say that everyone can't be resurrected. I just want their resurrection points to be compressed infinitely. In the end, they will be compressed to a very small area. Of course, this is the best case scenario. In the end, there is only one area where they can resurrect. Then, I will come and kill a wave of people, and then leave. Of course, they can only resurrect on the same spot. Then, I will come again, and with a few waves, I will be able to kick everyone out. "
"…" Everyone looked at Li Huailin in silence. Yes, they were all sure that Li Huailin's plan was feasible. This was a plan that could kill people. If it really succeeded, other players would really not be able to continue playing.
"Speaking up to this point, I suddenly have another question." Li Huailin suddenly said, "You said that the Celestial King needs five people to help him with the quest. But look at the current situation. If I eliminate everyone, then only the three of us will be left. What do you think about the quest? Will three people be able to clear the quest? "
"…" Li Huailin asked another question that Saint Levina couldn't answer. Yes, the rules didn't mention this problem. This was because no one thought that there would be only three people left in the final situation. There were rules for the same number of points, but if all three people were eliminated, then … how would it be calculated?
"This … what should we do?" The three Goddesses were a little confused. How could this Li Huailin be so good at stirring up trouble? This wasn't the first time he had done the Celestial King's trial. Why was it that he was a little special?
Before the three Goddesses could discuss what to do, Li Huailin continued to ask, "Anyway, what I said isn't against the rules, right?"
"Uh … yes, it's not against the rules." Saint Levina nodded. Although Li Huailin had ordered the monsters to help him occupy the land, it indeed wasn't against the rules. Who knew that the monsters would listen to him? Besides, if it really was against the rules, the Overseer, Saint Lofrey, would definitely look for him. Since she hadn't, of course, it wasn't against the rules.
"Since it's not against the rules, we'll just do it first. If something really happens later, we'll talk about it. It's none of your business, right? You're just responsible for guiding us, right?" Li Huailin asked.
Yes, we're responsible for guiding, not inspecting. Hearing Li Huailin's words, the three Goddesses understood.
"That's good. Let's begin," Li Huailin said to the Jade Emperor and Malinka.
