Chapter 495: 225: Chaotic Arrangement
After Zhou Baiyu and the three left, Midel sighed quietly:
"That little guy really doesn't give any face."
Zhen Shi comforted Zhang Haoyun:
"Xianwu must have his own plans."
Actually, Zhang Haoyun wasn't too upset, but she was increasingly feeling that, compared to the real world, this world was simply too full of weirdness.
She kind of wanted to stay in this world, perhaps by doing so, she could have more opportunities to get close to Zhou Baiyu in the future.
The current Zhou Baiyu was like an online gamer, immersed in the world of the game.
She needed to find a way to integrate herself into it if she wanted to have more topics to talk about with him.
But Zhang Haoyun also had no idea how to stay here.
"I wonder if what Jiang Xianwu said is true or not? Oh, a language that nobody else knows, he can make up whatever he wants, and then he says we need a prop to open it, and he produces a key..."
"Isn't that too coincidental? After all, weren't we all summoned here at random? And he just happens to have what's needed on him?"
The one who spoke was a lone Mutator known as the Drifter Master Arita.
The sinister woman and the kneeling Donkey Soldier looked disdainfully at Arita. God Guan Canghai also didn't like anyone challenging his authority:
"What do you think we should do then?"
"I want to try to mutate that door. I'm a Mutator too, there should be no reason why Jiang Xianwu can do it and I can't, right?"
In this world, people were always accustomed to the old rulers they had accepted, but even if a new ruler had resplendent achievements, there were always some ancient naysayers who refused to acknowledge them.
Guan Canghai smiled warmly, full of sincerity:
"Jiang Xianwu has already warned us not to touch that door."
"President Guan, let me try. If I succeed, then all of us can go there together."
Guan Canghai still didn't speak, but his eyes showed encouragement.
He certainly believed in Jiang Xianwu.
But if someone was willing to take action and risk their reputation for Jiang Xianwu, that wasn't bad either.
As a strong person, he felt mutual respect towards other strong individuals, not envy.
Even though Jiang Xianwu had saved everyone more than once, there were still those who thought that Jiang Xianwu was just a newcomer.
Arita took the opportunity to try to curry favor under Jiang Xianwu's name: "If this door really is that supernatural, I hope everyone will remember me. I'm willing to make a sacrifice for everyone."
Zhang Haoyun and Midel rolled their eyes at the same time.
Without even looking, Arita knew that this person's life wouldn't last long, but he didn't even want to dissuade him.
Guan Canghai felt the same way.
In this trial, they had already gained the acknowledgment of the other legendary pioneers.
Now, they were all looking forward to Jiang Xianwu bringing back valuable information or items.
As for these clowns in front of them, they were happy to watch them dig their own graves.
Claiming to be making a sacrifice for everyone was, on one hand, a way to demean Jiang Xianwu, and on the other hand, it was actually greed.
Coveting the treasures inside the Black Tower.
It seemed that in such places, after defeating a powerful enemy, there should be some kind of treasure.
Arita, looking at Guan Canghai's encouraging gaze, didn't realize at all that Guan Canghai was just making fun of him.
He reached out with both hands to touch the black door, intending to mutate it.
Although no mutation dialog box appeared in his eyes, he didn't care about that because he was too curious to know if the Black Tower held any treasures.
Ambition, ignorance, jealousy, and greed made him pay the price.
The next second, his figure disappeared.
The door, unmoved.
Unlike the disappearance of Jiang Xianwu and the others, there were no special effects.
He simply vanished.
A life might be lost just like that, but everyone else responded with unusual calmness. The legendary pioneers even felt a bit inclined to laugh.
They weren't people who disregarded life, but surviving in a post-apocalyptic world, they had become very harsh.
Everyone understood a principle: it's hard to persuade a ghost who's determined to die.
...
...
Secluded island, unknown region.
Karlando was gravely injured, barely clinging to life.
He wasn't going to die, but even as strong as he was, he would have a hard time recovering anytime soon.
Karlando also had to accept a fact: he had been defeated.
"I need to survive first... at least survive the three days and return to the Pantheon after that."
"As long as I can return to the Pantheon, I can make a comeback."
"By that time, after reviewing and understanding the reason for my defeat, I will definitely kill them!"
The reason why Karlando was still alive was due to the nature of the God of Games and Entertainment, which was based on creating rules.
The higher the rank, the more outrageous the rules that could be created.
Karlando was ranked very high, so he was able to create a powerful being like the Warden.
Even though he was confident in the Warden, Karlando was also very cautious and made many preparations.
He created a resurrection coin mechanism for many games.
In simple terms, he was forced out of the game after being killed, but he didn't die, living on thanks to a resurrection coin.
However, even though he survived, he was still left extremely weak.
A faint self-healing game domain unfolded.
In this game, he needed to constantly collect sunlight to fend off the zombie invasion. As long as he succeeded, he could recover some vitality.
But even if he recovered, Karlando no longer had the courage to face Zhou Baiyu and Guan Canghai.
His strength was definitely superior to both, even surpassing the group of pioneers.
But the reason for his defeat was unknown to him.
Until he reviewed the reasons why the Warden had been defeated, why Guan Canghai possessed such a strong passive skill—
He wouldn't act rashly.
