Of the nine people he had brought with him, the boy and the girl were the youngest and the most talented.
Young people had the characteristics of young people. They weren't as lethargic as the others, who didn't even speak.
For the sake of their courage, Gu Nan was willing to impart some life experiences to them.
The boy thought for a long time, then looked at Gu Nan and said, "If I can beat you one day, will you let me go?"
"If you can beat me, then it won't be a matter of whether I let you go or not, but the other way around."
The boy nodded thoughtfully. Then, he no longer looked young and inexperienced. He swung his sleeves and said like a bandit, "I'll do it!"
"What's your name? What did you do before?" Gu Nan glanced at him and asked.
"An Tiansheng, the bandit."
…
The bandit, An Tiansheng, was 14 years old this year. This was something Gu Nan had just learned.
However, he didn't mind using child labor. As long as he could do his job well, he wouldn't mind using a four-year-old.
At this time, the nine people were no longer in front of Gu Nan. Instead, they were all in a room, skimming through a pile of information.
This information was compiled by Gu Nan recently. It was information about the players' routes.
Routes were very important. Rather than letting Gu Nan learn about them one by one, it was better to let them make their own choices first.
For the sake of confidentiality, they were not allowed to leave the room unless they had chosen the route they wanted to take.
After choosing the route, they had to explain their characteristics and reasons for choosing the route. Finally, Gu Nan would look through the information and guide them to complete the job.
To Gu Nan's surprise, the first person to come out to see him wasn't An Tiansheng, but the girl.
"I'm Xie Yun, sir." Perhaps Gu Nan's words were effective, but Xie Yun's attitude was clearly better, and her voice sounded crisper.
"What route did you choose?"
"Firearms Expert."
Gu Nan couldn't help but smile. He took the information from Xie Yun's hands and said, "This is not a route an ordinary person would choose."
Gunner Specialist was a very interesting route. He could use energy to imitate guns and suppress them with pure firepower.
However, this also meant that the upper limit of this route was not high. Its range of application was roughly between the third to the sixth stage.
At Tier 7 and above, however, the Gun Expert's abilities would be rendered useless. Players would still have to rely on the Evil God's body and their own Laws to fight.
On the other hand, none of the people Gu Nan had chosen were from the Evil God's Temple. This meant that if Xie Yun chose the path of a Cannon Specialist, her combat strength would at most be at the Type 7 level.
Unless she changed her route and started all over again.
Of course, to Xie Yun, it was already completely acceptable for her to be able to reach the seventh rank. After all, not everyone was a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure.
"Have you ever seen a gun?" Gu Nan thought for a moment and asked.
"Of course." Xie Yun nodded. "I've been to a technological dimension before. The development of firearms there is very high!"
As she said this, Xie Yun's eyes flickered. Gu Nan could almost imagine what it would be like for a young girl who had grown up in a metaphysical dimension to see firearms for the first time.
For low-level players, firearms were definitely practical and flashy. However, for higher-level players, they were no longer useful.
For example, with the strength of Gu Nan's current body, he would not even be affected by a nuclear explosion. Regardless of whether it was the heat, the shockwave, or the radiation, none of them could hurt him.
"Then, let's give it a try," Gu Nan said as he wrote down a message and handed it to Xie Yun.
…
When the day of the battle between the Dark Shadow Sect and Zhang Bolun arrived, the nine people that Lan Si had brought with him had all been sent out.
They went to their respective destinations, attempted to complete the route missions, and chose the route they wanted.
For the time being, no one chose the Phantom Sword Sage route. However, Gu Nan was not in a hurry — out of nine people, it would be good if even half of them could successfully become Phantom Sword Sages.
The player route was not that easy to become. Even normal players had a high chance of failing, let alone these NPCs who had no gaming experience and were only average in strength.
"Hey, it's time to go!" Sylvia was already familiar with Gu Nan, and she did not seem to be polite at all. "I hope that when you face Zhang Bolun, you won't be beaten to the ground with a sword."
"My strength is as reliable as my card skills." Gu Nan said with a smile. "If everything goes well, you will welcome your 50th consecutive defeat in the afternoon."
"You really are not a gentleman at all. You will never be favored by a lady." Sylvia curled her lips and snorted.
The location of the Gods' duel was also very special. In order not to affect mortals, and mainly to not affect their own reputation, they would usually meet in a deserted dimension that was rarely visited by humans.
It was the same this time. When Gu Nan arrived, Sevis and Eden were already waiting.
"Your Excellency Gu Nan, I recently received a piece of news," the extraordinarily handsome God of Thieves said. "Zhang Bolun might have a helper too."
Sylvia frowned. "Are the helpers that he found qualified to interfere in our battle?"
If anyone could intervene, then Sylvia could find too many helpers, and she would not have to find the annoying Gu Nan.
"Sylvia!" A slightly rough female voice came from the sky, and Sylvia's face immediately turned blue.
The Valkyrie with the golden spear in her hand descended and pointed the spear at Gu Nan.
Without even raising his head, Gu Nan blocked the golden spear with his hand. However, the spear did not even leave a mark on his hand.
"Carina, this is the fight between the Dark Shadow Sect and Zhang Bolun. Are you sure you want to intervene?"
Sylvia's voice sounded a bit cold. If Carina intervened, they would be the real enemy.
"I'm just here for this guy!" Carina was not stupid. She pointed the spear at Gu Nan and said, "He beat me up. Am I not allowed to take revenge?"
Sylvia couldn't help but be furious. "What's the difference between seeking revenge from him and helping Bolun Zhang?"
Eden and Sevis, on the other hand, had a bitter smile on their faces.
Unlike Sylvia, they did not have a good brother. Based on their previous contact with Carina, Lucien knew that Carina was not a reasonable person.
"I don't care!" Carina's next words came out of her mouth.
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't give Sylvia a chance to speak and pierced his spear towards Gu Nan.
The golden spear was shining brightly. Clearly, Carina had activated the law of her body, which was much more powerful than the previous attack.
Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Nan, wondering how he would deal with it. However, Gu Nan did not respond.
The spear pierced into Gu Nan's chest and came out from his back, leaving a horrible bloody wound.
Sylvia's eyes widened. Even Carina herself did not expect that her opponent, who could knock her out, would be so weak.
However, the next second, she realized that something was wrong.
Gu Nan's chest was pierced by her, but there was a creepy smile on his face. She could not pull back her spear, and it was stuck by Gu Nan.
When the spear pierced into Gu Nan's body, her law of nature was temporarily suppressed. Meanwhile, Gu Nan raised his hand and grabbed the spear.
"Today, let me teach you a lesson." Gu Nan's voice was still as calm as usual, which made Sylvia feel a bit relieved. "Even the Goddess of Combat has a weakness."
"What weakness?" Carina's words came out faster than anyone else's. She felt that she had reached the peak of her current level, and her divine body was almost perfect. It was hard for her to improve further.
Her divine body was indeed perfect, and even Gu Nan could not find a way to kill her. However, it was only a perfect divine body.
"Your attack power is too weak!" Gu Nan said straightforwardly. "Otherwise, why would you ask the God of Craftsmanship to make this spear?"
As Gu Nan spoke, he pointed at the golden spear that had pierced through his body and was caught by him with one hand.
While Carina was still in a daze, Gu Nan had already raised his other hand and smashed on the spear.
