Chapter 397: Chapter 74: The World’s Most Evil is the Human Heart

Li Changhe overestimated his own social skills. In fact, apart from a few [Players] he had collaborated with multiple times, he didn’t have many trustworthy people.

No one can come out from [General Mountain], and the girl is also at the headquarters. Her identity as a [Holder] prevents her from leaving.

No need to mention Cangyue Ming and Luo Kai. They can still collaborate in [Instance Tasks], after all, those can initiate anywhere.

However, for such a [Reality Task], they could only admonish Li Changhe not to break the law. As for leaving their respective divisions and coming to help, it’s out of the question.

The Earth Knight is also someone Li Changhe can trust, but he’s busy, and it’s not appropriate to insist.

For the Moon God, he was seriously injured while he was on the [Mysterious Island]. He’s recovering in his own safety house.

Reportedly, he broke four ribs and needs a good rest. During this time, he won’t go out.

In the [Friends] section, the Moon God sent a message: "What level are you now?"

"Just reached LV8, still need quite a bit of experience to level up."

"Keep leveling up. I can enter LV10 at any time now," replied Moon God, "But I need to pause for a while."

"Huh?" Li Changhe, who was collecting things in the [Exchange], was taken aback, and asked, "Is it because you don’t have [Sequence Genes]? You can go to buy them."

In the [Exchange], [Sequence Genes] are available for purchase, with prices varying from high to low.

For instance, the recent witch demon species escape from the Zhu Kingdom allowed [Players] to make quite the fortune, creating a surplus of witch demon species [Sequence Genes]. Their price has not recovered to this day.

With the Moon God’s overflowing wealth, he could easily buy another [Sequence Gene]. So why is he stuck at level 9?

"[Sequence Genes] are crucial and have nothing to do with the price. They need to be highly compatible with one’s abilities and tactics. Why do you think people buy those cheap goods in the [Exchange]? Take those monster species for example, they seem weak. When I summon the Moonlight Throne, I can kill several with one shot. But if you implant their abilities into a [Player], it will result in qualitative changes."

Li Changhe agreed with this, considering his own tactics and expertise. His best is the battlefield black sheep ... right, the one he rode to death.

Combined with Li Changhe’s [Hundred-Headed Shooter], its power is excellent and the range is large.

Unfortunately, at that time, he disassembled a whole black sheep and yet no [Sequence Genes] were available.

There weren’t any for sale in the [Exchange] either. A pity indeed.

The second option, naturally, is Dog Brother. Compared to other non-human species, Dog Brother has both intensity and strength.

Once throwing the [Shell Leaf Sutra Box] into the [Backpack], the [Curse of the Tingdaros Hound] would be triggered once again.

In fact, when Chen Guang was training him to master the weapons, Li Changhe had a thought. He wanted to summon Dog Brother while Chen Guang and the others were around to ambush him.

The idea was to lure Dog Brother in, then kill him.

Maybe he could actually get hold of a [Sequence Gene].

However, if Dog Brother’s curse gets beat, Li Changhe will lose one of his trump cards. So he’d better put this idea aside for now.

Moreover, it’s still unclear what abilities Dog Brother’s [Sequence Gene] would give to Li Changhe. He would need to think long-term about this.

After all... Li Changhe isn’t exactly a demon.

Moon God continues, "The [Sequence Gene] most compatible with me is ready, so there’s no rush. There’s also a point... the plot world of the Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty hasn’t opened yet. I have to keep my level, because if I accidentally level up to LV10, and Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty also imposes level restrictions, then that would be awful."

"You mean there might be level restrictions in the Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty?"

"It’s hard to say, the previous large plots all had restrictions. It’s always wise to be cautious."

Li Changhe nodded. There are level restrictions in Solomon. [Players] can only reach up to level 9.

The Eternal Prosperous Tang Dynasty will most likely follow suit.

"The good thing about level restriction is, I am nearly invincible below LV10. You just need to follow and be a free rider. Ha ha ha ha," Moon God’s words are filled with arrogance, and ’invincible’ can be read between the lines.

"Stop making this about yourself. Have you forgotten how your bones broke?" Li Changhe cracked a smile.

"Damn! Don’t interrupt me when I am boasting!" After cursing back, Moon God responded, "Dude, be very careful. You never know what you will encounter in a [Reality Task]. But as the Great Wall, you will be safe."

"I know, you recover well. See you in Great Tang."

Since he is preparing to participate in a [Reality Task], he has to be prepared in all aspects.

The advantage of this kind of task is that it does not risk trapping the [Player], after all, they just need to leave a certain range to opt out of the task.

Generally, there are no penalties for failure either.

The downside is that in real life, when you encounter other [Players], you may be maliciously attacked.

In the instance, [Players] can be teleported out once they complete the task.

Even if you are seriously injured, as long as you can hold out until the teleportation time, you can leave the instance.

You don’t have to worry about being investigated by [Players] afterwards.

Even if you leave any loopholes, other [Players] cannot verify them.

After all, everyone is teleported out of the instance, and in reality, they are far apart from each other. It’s very safe.

However, for those living in the real world, this advantage does not exist.

Although they don’t have to worry about being trapped and dying in the instance, the presence of other [Players] has become an even greater danger.

If they’re not fast enough and get caught by those with ulterior motives, dire consequences can be expected.

Aren’t all small [Player Organizations] established by individuals just to prevent persecution by other [Players]?

They’re worried about being targeted by those organizations. Whether through threats or intimidation, they might end up being used as tools.

I heard from the young lady that [Great Wall] dealt with an incident once.

A LV10 [Player], with a Sequential gene of the Fantasy Species. Mountain and sea monster, Suanyu! His combat power was considerable.

However, he exposed some flaws during a real-world mission and was tracked down to his home by a [Player Organization].

Taking advantage of his absence, they kidnapped his wife and daughter.

They were extremely sinister, slicing off the faces of the wife and daughter.

One of their members dropped these faces in front of the [Player] who had hurriedly flown home.

They demanded him to obey them immediately, give them all his in-game currency and [Equipment].

And to gouge out and give them one of his Magic Eyes.

Otherwise, the next things they’d drop would be their heads.

That LV10 [Player], in the instance he was a cold-blooded powerhouse that cut down many in his path.

But when he saw the faces torn off his gentle wife and lively daughter,

He broke down on the spot.

He knew that if he resisted, he would lose his wife and daughter forever.

So, he did as they demanded, painfully gouging out his own Magic Eye and giving them all his equipment and in-game money.

He himself became a human tool at their beck and call.

Even a third-layer [Player] as powerful as him couldn’t escape this situation.

Or rather, he didn’t want to escape. Because he didn’t want to lose.

If those hard-hearted [Players] were in the same situation, they probably wouldn’t have gone through such events.

When it came to the fate of that [Player], the young lady went silent. She skipped over that part and quietly held onto Li Changhe’s hand with her small one.

....

Afterwards, [Great Wall] dispatched fourteen LV10 and above Assassin Type [Players] to completely sanction that [Player Organization].

This is the threat of [Players].

What’s the most dangerous thing in this world?

Fantasy Species? Demon Beast Species? Spirit Monster Species? No...

The most evil thing in the world is the human heart!
