Chapter 443: Chapter 119: Cooperation

This task is shrouded in mystery, with three hints now apparent.

First is the missing information in the task intel. Players like Chen Guang who have participated in this task keep silent, and even intel dealers like Mr. All-known are clueless. It’s as if something must be kept hidden from Li Changhe.

Perhaps, knowing the existence of something would change the task. Or maybe it couldn’t be triggered normally at all?

Secondly, the strange actions of the champions after their victory, as if targeting a specific phenomenon or character.

Especially with Chen Guang’s direct challenge against the king, the connection between those actions and the king is quite evident.

Lastly, the [Seven Kings Chess Piece]. Although it’s a task item, if the champions couldn’t give a hint for some reasons, these task items could be the ultimate hint.

A chess piece... is it a hint that the successors, no, all the heroic spirits (players) throughout the generations, are just pawns?

"And according to what you said, the records of the previous five sessions have been wiped out." Knee-arrow Shot spoke up. He never touched the books, presumably worried about potential curses, making Li Changhe describe the critical parts verbally.

"So you suspect that the truth behind this task is related to the wiped-out records?" Knee-arrow Shot recalled his memories of the conversation with the Carmen family and said, "Indeed, they mentioned that the heroic spirits in the first five sessions were more formidable. But from the sixth session onwards, the heroic spirits became less powerful but more mysterious. With this in mind, it’s true that the truly powerful heroic spirits were in the first five sessions, and from the sixth session on, the [players] replaced the heroic spirits to fight."

"Yes, it’s obvious intel." Li Changhe nodded: "This task’s level is limited to LV10 and below. Even with ’Deathmatch Killing God’ and ’Killing Maniac,’ we can only be considered good hands at this stage. We definitely cannot compare to those considered heroic spirits. If my Contractor activates the Mark of the King and let me, an archer, use ’Meteor One,’ I can only stare helplessly."

"Indeed, some guys from the Carmen family even asked me to summon a Flying Bull Cart to take them for a ride," Knee-arrow Shot laughed, "So, did you contact me to gain information about the internal affairs of the family where the last champion, now the king, resides?"

"As a [player], you should have started investigating the moment you entered the story world, right?"

"Of course, as a [player], we naturally need to gather intel as soon as possible." Knee-arrow Shot said, "Although the current king is a member of the Carmen family, since becoming the king, he has not had any private contact with the family. Not even with his parents or relatives. It is said that as a king, he must guard the secret non-stop."

"Is it forced or voluntary?" Li Changhe suspected there was something fishy.

"Not sure if it’s voluntary, but that’s what the Carmen family claims."

Li Changhe thought for a moment and said, "I just don’t know if the so-called secret is a beautiful girl with a slim waist and long legs."

"What are you talking about... no matter how beautiful a girl is, you’d get tired of staring for a lifetime. Besides, the secret is just what the magicians call a certain phenomenon. The kings can’t all be objectophiles, right? Are you trying to create a love story?"

"Well, how about love produces a child... that fits physiology better."

Knee-arrow Shot didn’t take Li Changhe’s teasing seriously and said, "Regarding the king’s information, the Carmen family doesn’t know much more than others. However, the king does have some preferences. The development of the Carmen family into its current scale has a lot to do with the king’s secret support. Of course, according to your guess, we’ll need to see the king himself. I can try to find out his whereabouts now."

"Even if there’s a connection between those events and the king, we’re just delivering ourselves if we go now, as even the previous champions were cautious about that existence. We need to gather more companions first." Li Changhe said, "Tonight is the summoning time for Sword Rank heroic spirits. We can try contacting them."

Knee-arrow Shot nodded and continued, "In the end, all of this is only our speculation. If it turns out that we still need to fight each other to become the champion to complete the task, I won’t show any mercy. I won’t lie to you; I was prepared to kill you when I came to contact you."

Li Changhe glanced at the park bench where Knee-arrow Shot sat and said, "Of course, there shouldn’t be any naive [players] at our level. Just the contact between [players] should be cautious, let alone that we’re opponents. In the meantime, I’ve made my preparations, too."

With that, he slightly lifted the wooden board on the small cart, making Knee-arrow Shot’s face change.

He saw the hidden M1919 Browning Heavy Machine Gun and several hand grenades.

Throughout their conversation, the muzzle of the machine gun was always pointing at him. No wonder there was a lingering sense of danger in his heart.

"By the way, Uncle Eight-direction, can you cure incurable diseases?" Knee-arrow Shot suddenly asked.

"I can try to cure small illnesses." Li Changhe was slightly stunned and then replied. The [Shell Leaf Sutra Box]’s effect is to randomly cure a disease. But it mostly cures common colds and fevers and has no effect on conditions that require surgery.

"I see, never mind then." Knee-arrow Shot nodded.

"What disease did you get? If it’s some unmentionable secret, please share it, so I can be happy about it."

"Are you here to cooperate or to make enemies?" Knee-arrow Shot clicked his tongue, "Your archer will surely die because of your mouth."

"Then, goodbye."

Watching the small cart go further away, he stood up and whispered, "Is this the third strongest [player]? Let me see if your analysis is correct."

The park bench behind him suddenly melted and turned into a liquid with a metallic sheen.

The liquid twisted and transformed into an inconspicuous briefcase, which was easily picked up by Knee-arrow Shot.

Of course, he didn’t come empty-handed. Facing the archer who was ranked higher than him, he dared not be the slightest bit careless.

It seemed that the other party thought the same.

Both of them had already prepared for the possible collapse of the negotiation and the ensuing battle!

However, neither of the two, now departing, noticed that not far from where they met,

A middle-aged man with his child on a day out had a pale face and stiff limbs, looking like a marionette.

He slightly turned his head.

*Crack!*
