"So scary, so scary!"
Xu Sheng looked at the TV and trembled when he saw the big shot taken down by the bureau chief.
He was a beta tester and was recruited by the Special Investigation Bureau as soon as he logged in as a member of the basic labor force.
Most of the EXP gained in Black Heaven was exchanged for elixirs, and a small portion was used for cultivation. He also completed various missions for the Great Xia Alliance and became a glorious member of the Black Tiger Army.
Then, he personally participated in the Battle of Cangyuan County and witnessed the establishment of Liberty Wings.
Looking at the scene of Shen Mo being taken down on the TV, he felt that politics was terrifying.
Beep beep!
Beep beep!
At this time, his phone kept ringing.
Xu Sheng casually opened it and found that it was the price of recruiting Liberty Wings. It was sent by a friend.
His friend was also a beta tester. When Liberty Wings was established, he immediately left the Special Investigation Bureau and joined them.
Now, he was constantly helping to recruit people.
"Xu Sheng, listen to me, the treatment here is really good … and the cabinet guarantees that we are still Great Xia citizens. We didn't break the law, and the guild will protect our families."
"Once we register, we'll be given five million yuan and a villa. Then, we'll be guaranteed that we won't be forced to buy our pills or force us to do anything. We'll be free to come and go …
"If you don't stand on our side, are you going to stand on the side of the rich?"
…
Messages and voice messages flashed.
Xu Sheng looked for a while and had to admit that he was tempted.
After all, the other party was right.
But … basic labor force had the treatment of civil servants.
Moreover, for those who had no ambition and could afford to work overtime, life in the Special Investigation Bureau was actually not bad. At least it was stable and peaceful, and he could even imagine his life after retirement …
Xu Sheng didn't have any great ambitions. He just wanted to carefully avoid all the whirlpools and live in peace.
He pondered for a moment and didn't reply. Instead, he played with his phone.
Anyway … Liberty Wings claimed to be free to come and go, so … he would wait for a while and see how things went.
Xu Sheng opened Weibo and browsed the news:
Weibo trending: Incident at the Special Investigation Bureau
Weibo trending: Liberty Wings
Weibo trending: Nibla Coup
Weibo trending: Battle of the Valkyries of the Celestial Federation
…
"The world is not peaceful either … I heard that there are sects that worship the God of Games …"
This is a normal development.
Foreigners even worshiped the nonsensical gods that they made up, and a great being who could guide ordinary people to transcend the two worlds and obtain extraordinary power would certainly be worshiped too.
In fact, it was not only in foreign countries, but also within the borders of Great Xia.
However, the government's attitude was very ambiguous. They did not support it, nor did they suppress it.
Unfortunately … there had never been a pope who could truly obtain a divine oracle, even if they recited the honorific name of God a million times.
That was why the Church of the Lord of Games was divided into many factions. Then, following the principle that heresy was worse than heathens, they would beat their own brains out first … literally, their brains out!
This was because there were bound to be a few players in this kind of religion. They were existences like the Pope, the Holy Son, the Holy Daughter, and the Prophet. Otherwise, they would be too embarrassed to say that they had received God's Blessing.
Unprecedented faith, unprecedented chaos, unprecedented cause and effect …
However, Chung Shen-soo did not feel anything about it.
He already had a rough idea of the state of mind of a True God. What did it have to do with him if ordinary people believed in him?
Ordinary people died and were thrown into chaos because of this … but there was not a single trace of karma.
This was a truly great existence!
…
Because the Office of Special Investigations was in a state of chaos, the staff were given a day off, especially these players.
Xu Sheng also had a rare day off. He stayed in his room and did nothing for the whole day.
At night, he prepared to go out and buy some food and snacks at the mini-mart downstairs. It was a short walk away.
Well, he was barely a Rank-5 in the game. In reality, it was even worse. He was a Rank-8, and he was in a state of hunger if he did not eat.
He walked out of the building and saw that it was already dusk. Lanterns were first lit, and the billboards were gilded with a golden glow.
"South Sino Martial Arts School. Player Teachers!"
"Inner Force Training Class. Real Inner Force Mantra is guaranteed to be learned!"
…
Ever since the emergence of Transcendents, an ancient martial arts craze had set off in Great Xia. Who knew how many scammers had taken the opportunity to make their debut and reap the IQ tax.
Xu Sheng went to the mini-mart downstairs, took a few packets of instant noodles, and went to the cashier.
In front of him was a mother and son.
"Mom, I've decided. I'm going to apply for the martial arts school!"
A tall, sturdy boy shouted.
"Sigh … How many times have I told you how dangerous it is to fight and kill?"
The middle-aged woman was exasperated. "Also … didn't you see it on TV? It's all fake …"
"Training classes and non-licensed martial arts schools are fake, but I heard that … the Empire is really going to build a few martial arts colleges to teach the ultimate arts in the game and cultivate talents in the future!"
The big boy's eyes were filled with longing. "Even if you don't become a player, as long as you have the resources, you can still become a Transcendent!"
"Sigh … Young people nowadays, each and every one of them wants to reach the sky in a single bound."
An old man next to him sighed. "That game is really a source of trouble. Ever since we came out, how many things have happened overseas? There are wars every two or three days. Only our Great Xia has the best security! "
"Yes, yes."
The middle-aged woman agreed.
Xu Sheng thought about it but did not say anything.
He had always kept a low profile. No one knew that he was a 'player'.
As someone who had entered the game, he knew that the Pugilistic World was not just a young man's imagination.
The world was like the tide, and people were like the water. How many people in the Pugilistic World returned … was the best portrayal.
Even if the players went to the Black Heaven Sect and did a field trip, they would also sigh at the suffering of the lower-class civilians.
Martial arts were passed down from generation to generation, and the social class was fixed. Even if one or two geniuses appeared among the civilians, they might not be able to learn the ultimate arts, and in the end, they would fade into the crowd.
Sects stood in great numbers, and they fought everywhere. They had to exploit the people under their rule, and there were countless exorbitant taxes and levies.
In fact, even the players themselves had become the fuse.
The establishment of the major guilds directly led to the expansion of the Big Money Nine States …
As he was thinking, Xu Sheng suddenly felt his hair stand on end. His martial arts instincts made him subconsciously jump to the side.
Rumble!
The next moment, two figures dashed past, and the force that spread out directly injured a large number of people around them.
The two figures were too fast. In the chase, only blurry afterimages could be seen, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After the small supermarket was affected, half of it collapsed, and blood slowly seeped out of the ruins.
Xu Sheng brushed away the debris and dust on his body and came to the street. He looked at the people whose faces were covered in blood, and their eyes were filled with confusion.
Some of them were fathers and mothers, some were sons and daughters, and there were also white-collar workers, freelancers, bosses, Internet celebrities, students …
But at this moment, in the face of a transcendent level disaster, they only had one identity — ordinary people!
…
As Zhong Shenxiu watched all of this occur, he suddenly had a thoughtful look. "Order is only temporary, but chaos is eternal?"
"The more I know, the more ignorant I feel!"
"Another example is the universe. What humans can understand is only the most insignificant part, not even one-thousandth or one-ten-thousandth …"
"Another example is the Mystery System. Rationality is only temporary, and it will eventually lead to madness?"
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his digestion of the Only Divinity had taken a big step forward.
