The Boss King actually disguised himself as a novice village chief?!

Chapter 605: Chapter 470: Deities Awakening

Silver Wolf rubbed his bald head and led his team towards the Black Knight’s underground tomb.

At this stage, everyone could see the benefits of joining the Black Knight Camp, and many Undead had even completed their Mechanical Ascension because of it, but Silver Wolf was not in a hurry.

It was preordained that the Deities would awaken; having faith in the Deities might snag some benefits, but according to the style and pace of this game, if a true faction war were to begin, the losers would surely be wiped out.

The faction attacking the Black Knight was bound to be the weaker side.

Silver Wolf thought to try joining the Deities’ camp first; after all, the Black Knight was right here and wasn’t going anywhere. At this stage, most Undead who were reluctant to join the Black Knight were thinking the same as him.

Why not give it a try? What if there were hidden plots waiting to be uncovered?

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Black Knight’s underground tomb, the glaring red of hostile names instantly filled his vision. He couldn’t help but take a glance, feeling as though a blood-saturated ocean was drifting before him, suffocating him without even needing to lift a finger; the sheer presence of those crimson characters rolling towards him was overwhelming.

However, when he entered the tomb, not a single hostile glare came his way.

"Handsome, want to take a look at our Underground City?" Someone was next to him, with a thick stack of leaflets in hand, "Don’t miss out as you pass by, eh? Our Underground City is having its grand opening event. Just bring this leaflet with you to challenge our Underground City, and after clearing it, you can receive a 120% chest reward, no deception."

Silver Wolf nodded politely and accepted the leaflet. Despite his burly, bald in-game character, in reality, he was the kind who didn’t know how to refuse leaflets handed to him on the street and would surely sit in a corner to dine alone, extremely introverted.

It was in this Magic World that he felt he could finally shed all disguises.

However, when the familiar distribution of leaflets emerged, he subconsciously toned down.

"They really won’t directly attack us?" a few Undead behind Silver Wolf quietly inquired.

Silver Wolf nodded, "Of course, there’s no profit in attacking us poor ghosts. It’s better to run an Underground City with that time. You get rewards and money, killing two birds with one stone."

"Right," his companions immediately agreed, "That guy just now was so enthusiastic it gave me the creeps. Dressed in full Abyss Equipment, I didn’t even need to check the stats to know it’s top-notch."

"That’s because there’s good money to be made. But hey, we came here to challenge the Underground City; if we win, we make money."

Their main objective in coming to the Black Knight’s underground tomb was its novelty and entertainment value, completely open to Undead to DIY their own dungeons, with all sorts of clever tactics continuously surfacing, full of surprises.

Different countries have different currencies, but the Black Knight, hailing from the Abyss, introduced a delicate coin imbued with Abyss Aura as the primary currency for the local Undead factions. However, Undead from other factions were not able to use it.

Fortunately, the Great Tomb had opened exchanges for mineral materials, Magic Materials, and equipment, which alleviated the urgent needs of the Undead.

Silver Wolf said, "After evaluating and selling off our equipment and materials, let’s split up."

Originally, they had banded together to avoid being ambushed on their way to the Black Knight’s underground tomb. Some who ran out of money would go back to gather materials, while others would opt for a more direct approach.

The reason this didn’t happen within the tomb was because the Abyss was constantly watching. The power of the Abyss wasn’t particularly attuned to most things, but it joyously stirred at the prospect of slaughter and death.

After parting ways with his companions, Silver Wolf sold his equipment and materials, then headed towards the dungeon area.

Underground City types also differ, with variations in team size and overall strength. Even among D-class dungeons, combat capabilities can range wildly.

Not every Underground City comes with guides and maps.

"My strength is at most C-class and D-class, and I can’t have too many people," the Silver Wolf thought, wanting to fight to sustain itself; it was fun and also profitable.

But making money wasn’t so simple because the defenders weren’t NPCs, but Undead. After every failure, defenders would adjust their positions, traps, and might even call for reinforcements to boost their strength.

The Silver Wolf was quite curious. Currently, the highest level of Undead dungeons was B-class, also known as "the Suffering" - it was where top fighters from the four major regional countries gathered. Even on the Enstad Continent, they were considered top-tier combatants.

"A-class, who could that be?"

He clicked and discovered that the A-class was listed as the "White Wolf Swordsman," an NPC with a wolf’s head that appeared in the game CG "Destruction of the Kingdom of Trees," also referred to in "Rise of the Black Knight." It spawned much speculation, but no one had seen it in action.

To his surprise, the opponent was rated as A-class quality; the dungeon only allowed one person to enter, containing just one room.

Some had already tried to challenge it. On entering, they would only see the White Wolf Swordsman gently cleaning its sword. Defeating it would earn rewards, and even at the dungeon’s entrance, it was emphasized: "Passing requires defeating the White Wolf Swordsman, killing is not necessary." It seemed the Undead believed no one could best the White Wolf Swordsman, so they lowered the difficulty.

"S-class, could it be the Black Knight?" the Silver Wolf wondered with curiosity.

The data was very vague, but indeed, it was the Black Knight. Unlike the White Wolf Swordsman’s "fixed office hours," the Black Knight’s dungeon had never opened. It seemed that so far, no one had witnessed the Black Knight’s prowess.

People played the game for the thrill—whether they could defeat the Black Knight was secondary. Just having the chance to 1V1 such a powerful foe brought immense pleasure to many, prompting various video bloggers to eye this lucrative opportunity, ready to dive in as soon as the Black Knight’s dungeon opened.

The Silver Wolf ultimately chose a legitimate D-class tower defense combat dungeon.

He paid up, not dwelling on the cost, took the token, and followed the direction indicators toward his target.

If he won, he would make a little profit; if he lost, he would have to return to the Salt Alkali Plain to dig for materials.

"Actually, I don’t make too much," Lind was watching an Undead live broadcast, admitting they indeed knew how to have fun and had taken it to the next level.

From now on, not just fashion vloggers could be enjoyed, it was quite pleasurable.

Beside him, the Beastmaster lay without even lifting an eyelid, gently wagging its tail.

"I’m just making a little commission," Lind remarked.

The currency was created using Mechanical God Cult technology, and the anti-counterfeiting marks were Lind’s own unique Abyss Aura. He was never short on money; the greatest benefit of these funds for him was to exchange for the Undead’s labor.

After the Underground City’s appearance, any power faction needed to let itself be "farmed."

And now, he was the one farming.

Those materials, equipment, and so on had already stuffed his dozens of warehouses full.

As he thought about this, the Beastmaster suddenly looked up and said, "A deity has awakened!"
