Chapter 472: Chapter 13 It’s Common Sense to Take All the Tasks on the Way_1

Although Delicious Wind Goose had not advanced to become a Saint Cup Knight, he still chose to serve the Goddess of Cup.

Forcing himself to suppress his intense desire to advance to a Saint Cup Knight instead caught the attention of the Goddess of Cup, which led her to bestow upon him a Holy Light Imprint.

This was also one part of his plan.

Or rather, it could be seen as Delicious Wind Goose’s test towards the Goddess of Cup—

If he were dealing with other True Gods, this might have annoyed Them.

But what the Goddess of Cup liked best were the children who repeatedly tested the boundaries of danger.

She instead began to pay attention to Delicious Wind Goose.

Delicious Wind Goose suspected that his occasional abnormal cravings and sexual desires these past few days were due to being watched by the Goddess of Cup.

Before heading to Nata County, Delicious Wind Goose exchanged the Holy Light Imprint that came free of charge for three months’ worth of "Desire Smell."

He could accurately smell the "desire" wafting from others.

This would give him an advantage in negotiations.

But, to his slight miscalculation, this city was overflowing with the stench of malicious thoughts.

There was not an inch of land that had not been tainted by desire and blood.

...It was a veritable hell on earth.

"Be cautious, but if it’s necessary, there’s no need for any restraint," Delicious Wind Goose said slowly. "At most, I will drop to level 20, and you all to level 10. Monster Teacher currently has no Transcendent profession, and there is no penalty for his death... if it really comes down to it, we will just fight our way out."

"...Alright, I understand,"

Monster Teacher shrugged: "Let’s not talk about the distant future. We have time now, so what shall we do? Forty-eight hours... Should we kill our way through this place or seek refuge with some power?"

Although his original goal was to become a healing knight...

After Monster Teacher got his hands on so many silver coins, he couldn’t resist the temptation and allocated one of the Holy Light Imprints, originally saved for purchasing a Divine Art named [Life for Money], to buy a direct attack Divine Art called "Resonating Object."

Shortly after entering the city, he also seized a flintlock gun.

Now Monster Teacher was exceptionally confident in small-scale battles.

Although the flintlock gun could only fire a single shot and was inconvenient to reload, he could hold the gun in his right hand and use a silver coin to cast [Resonating Object] with his left. Within twenty meters, he was confident he could eliminate two people instantly.

If each of them swapped for a new flintlock gun... No, except for Defu and her chocolates.

If Delicious Wind Goose and Andersen each took a flintlock gun, the moment they entered combat, they could reduce the enemy’s numbers by four.

As long as Andersen kept the chocolates safe, with Defu’s rapid-fire ability—even if it was the chocolates controlling her body—within thirty meters, she could kill someone every two seconds.

And for Transcendent enemies, Delicious Wind Goose’s ambush would be lethal.

The bobcat, with triple the strength of an adult male, could easily break the enemy’s neck.

After Defu advanced to become a "Beastmaster," the bobcat finally gained a stable stealth ability.

As long as it left everyone’s line of sight, it could stealth in one third of a second. And the chocolates controlling Defu’s body could guide the cat back to within ten meters of herself in three seconds—this did not necessarily mean a retreat but could be seen as a "redeployment."

Although Andersen was only a regular guard profession, he was the guard with the highest Parry rate.

Guards had a skill named "Perfect Blocking." Its specific effect was that if one executed a full-powered, non-rushed block at the moment just before an attack hit, the damage would be reduced by a deviation equal to half of the higher attribute between strength and agility.

This meant that since Andersen had an agility attribute of 18 points, if he perfectly parried an attack from an enemy with 20 points of strength, the remaining damage he would take would be as if the enemy only had 11 points of strength when they launched the attack.

And if the enemy’s strength attribute was less than nine points, then the damage would be completely negated.

Furthermore, his Curse Binding "I Do Not Yield" allows him to stand in front of his teammates and, at the cost of enduring double damage, become completely immune to the knockback, knockdown, and airborne effects of that attack, endowing him with the ability to perfectly protect the rear.

As a simple and straightforward tank, Andersen didn’t need any flashy skills or abilities. All he needed to do was to take damage for his teammates.

Though they were without the highest-damaging "Wine of Noxus," the strongest parry tank Big Sister, and the sole mage Dragon Well Tea, the notable trio of lane fighters, their combination of four people plus a cat was almost the strongest urban fighting team that players could assemble.

Defu might be somewhat wasted in a city, but in this environment, cats could be stronger than humans.

An assault team that can storm forts, take down bosses, clear minions, snipe from a distance, and set up ambushes—they didn’t just come here to purify nightmares.

Almost all players have the habit of... accepting all the quests that can be completed in a destination before heading there.

Apart from Annan’s mission of "setting up a teleportation point."

They had also taken on an additional task from Kaisesa:

"—If you’re going to Nata County, try to get some vials of demonic blood... just one vial would suffice, I’ll make each of you a potent potion that temporarily enhances attributes as a reward. Additionally, I will pay you in cash at the market price. If you have extra, I will purchase the remainder at the market price as well.

"—Oh right, try to collect some demonic materials too. Blood, eyeballs, horns, organs... as long as they are intact. I’ll give each of you a bottle with preservative, just throw the collected stuff in there. I’ll pay you in cash or potions as a reward based on the quantity when you return."

At least one vial of demonic blood, and enough "materials."

The latter was easy — since they were in Nata County, they were bound to encounter demons.

But the former...

"To obtain demonic blood, we must establish a good relationship with the local gangs. Ordinary people cannot produce this stuff."

Delicious Goose looked up at the extraordinarily ordinary moon and said in a quiet, slow voice, "In other words... we need to grind faction reputation. We must at least reach ’Respected’ status to possibly get the demonic blood.

"It would be ideal if we could obtain more to sell to Kaisesa. At a minimum, we can’t let those other players who support and invest in us suffer losses."

"There are three gangs here. The Lanrou Gang, Big Cousin, Mushroom Eater."

Monster Teacher took the flintlock pistol and bullets from Delicious Goose and asked, "Which one should we visit?"

"It has to be Big Cousin. I’ve already investigated beforehand."

Without much thought, Delicious Goose immediately answered, "Although Mushroom Eaters are the main producers of demonic blood... they are also the only gang that domesticates demons artificially.

"To collect materials, we must first rule them out.

"As for the Lanrou Gang, involved in gambling, drugs, and possibly even with cannibalistic tendencies judging by their name. Even if Defu hadn’t come, we shouldn’t get involved."

Delicious Goose said gravely, "Though it’s a game, this is clearly another real world. We must maintain an appropriate moral baseline.

"As for Big Cousin, these illegal Ritualists and Transcendents who manufacture and deal in arms illegally are almost all composed of serious criminals. I suspect their upper echelons, if not spies from other countries, are at least local rebels from Noah... because their activities are very suspect.

"They have constantly been manufacturing arms in Nata County’s factories, and the quality of the arms is quite high, they can even produce ’black fire’. But the issue is... the greatest number of Transcendents belongs to their group. If Nata County completely lacked arms, it would have been unified by now. Yet, they haven’t done so; instead, they sell the weapons at high prices to other Nata County folks."

Delicious Goose spoke slowly, "I speculate they are doing this to avoid standing out. A chaotic Nata County is a different concept from an orderly Nata County... the former is merely useless and dangerous junk, while the latter has value to be noticed and utilized.

""Big Cousin’s" boss is probably using the gang as a cover, secretly doing something under the radar. I will post these analyses on the forums later, but the truth doesn’t concern us... nor should you go poking around and looking for trouble. It’s hidden story content for players to consider later on. We only need to complete our mission, to pave the way for them.

"Another reason is, they have the loosest control over their middle and lower ranks, aside from limiting internal conflicts, there are almost no rules—this includes waging war on other gangs, or robbery and murder of neutral parties.

"We’ll first attack a Mushroom Eater stronghold, wipe them out, preferably killing a few demons in the process. We’ll toss them outside and rest for a night. The Mushroom Eaters will surely seek revenge; we’ll let Defu display her ambush abilities and wipe them clean.

"Once this matter ferments, then we’ll go find Big Cousin’s people. That way, we’ll have some "weight"... with weight, we can negotiate for the demonic blood and the nightmare keys."

Delicious Goose narrowed his eyes, his brows deeply furrowed.

In comparison to before, this bald and muscular man began to exude a certain solemn and dangerous aura.

—Just like the painting Paper Princess had given him, as it depicted.
