Chapter 85: Chapter 85 – Fatty Would Like You To Relay A Message (Part Two)
This is the third group, that’s a total of 12 people now,” Ren Suo muttered.
After Ren Suo finished searching all of their equipment, his character no longer had any weaknesses.
She was equipped with the smelly “Poor Quality Old Clown Hat (Lv 3 Helmet)”, the “Poor Quality Old Clown Purple Jacket (Lv 3 Armor), the air-dropped recovery weapon “Wind and Rain AUG”, the recovery assault rifle “Holy Light 98K”…
There were also 3 “Fried Chicken Sets”, 5 bottles of “Nuka Cola”, 4 pieces of “Healthy Chocolate”, as well as sufficient tonics in the bag.
Ren Suo controlled his character to run out of the manor. She rode on a snow unicorn, which she hid previously. Looking at the Enjoyment Zone on the map which had shrunk in size, she tapped the back of the unicorn and a warm, white glow was emitted from it. A seat of light emerged on its back, allowing Ren Suo’s character to sit on it comfortably; otherwise, she would have fallen down as it moved.
The appearances of the transportation tools in Land of the Light were, without a doubt, the best that Ren Suo had seen, across the different training maps. Apart from the fairytale-like Snow Unicorn, there was also the Crystal Lotus Light and the Grounded Somersault Cloud…
Ren Suo did not know how trainees controlled the transportation tools, but he found that the snow unicorn would move accordingly to his will after his character tapped on its back.
After traveling towards the Enjoyment Zone for some time, Ren Suo heard the sound of a Holy Gunshot. His face lit up as he headed swiftly towards the source of the sound.
“I hope they are from Xuan Nation too…” Ren Suo muttered.
The snow unicorn could carry only two people at one time. It looked just like a horse, but made much more noise when coming into contact with the ground, perhaps due to its great speed comparable to that of cars.
When they were near the battle zone, Ren Suo dismounted the unicorn and walked over slowly. It was a mountainous area with many trees around. The gunshots appeared to be coming from the other side of the mountain. As Ren Suo’s character neared the mountain ridge, an extremely plump figure that was outlined in a red glow appeared on the screen!
“Eh? Could they be the plump white people from the Pacific Federation?… Wow, they are actually people from Xuan Nation, how could they be so fat when they are so tall…” Ren Suo said to himself.
Ren Suo controlled his character to move discreetly to a high vantage point and saw two teams in an intense battle between the trees. He looked through his 8x scope and saw that the chubby Xuan Nation team seemed to be fighting against a team of chubby black people.
It was a battle between the chubby people! Their goal was to help their opponent slim down, while the winning team would remain chubby. The losing team would have to leave their fats behind and return to the sobering reality of becoming fit and charismatic!
Ren Suo controlled his character to move behind the chubby Xuan Nation team stealthily, preparing for a sneak attack on them as they attacked the other team.
However, the chubby Xuan Nation team was not very skillful and very quickly, two of them had already fallen to the ground. On the other hand, the three chubby black guys from the other team had surrounded them and attacked from three directions. They even threw a “Recovery Smoke Grenade” to force the Xuan Nation team to move.
“Don’t save me! Someone is behind that tree on your left!”
“The smoke! A person is walking out of the smoke!”
“That person is going to get the last hit on me!”
A short and chubby member from the Xuan Nation team suffered the last hit and ascended to the heavens as a tender and attractive guy. In the meantime, one of the other two chubby Xuan Nation team members had also been shot to the ground by one of the members of the other team.
There was only one chubby Xuan Nation team member left while the other two members were lying lifelessly on the ground.
“It’s rare to meet people who are also from Xuan Nation… I cannot miss the opportunity,” Ren Suo thought. He emerged sideways from behind the tree and aimed at the chubby black man, who was about to deal the last hit on the chubby Xuan Nation man, with his fully-equipped “Wind and Rain AUG”.
The hushed sound of the silenced recovery shot still rang relatively shrilly through the forest. Upon seeing the Holy Light bursting out of his body, the chubby black man fell to the floor and rolled behind a tree that was beside him. However, the Holy Bullet was swift and quickly refilled his health bar!
“#@*@#¥%!”
As Ren Suo was not on the same team as the chubby black man, he could not hear what he was saying. However, at the same moment, the other two black men immediately looked towards where Ren Suo’s character was hiding, so the men must have been reporting his character’s location to his teammates.
The chubby Xuan Nation man who was on the verge of dying was stunned upon realizing that someone was helping him. He then hid cowardly behind a stone, intending to take a backseat as he watched on but reap the benefits later.
But it was exactly what Ren Suo would have wanted!
One of the chubby black men pulled their teammate, who was on the floor, to the side. At the same time, another one of them began shooting with his recovery rifle in the general direction where the plump girl was hiding at, in an attempt to suppress her and allow more time for his teammate to be revived.
In the meantime, however, Ren Suo unhurriedly waited for a short while, then pulled the safety pin out of the Holy Grenade. He waited for four full seconds before throwing it towards where the two chubby black men were.
Following a loud boom, a strong and fit black man ascended to the sky, and a chubby black man fell to the ground.
The chubby black man who had been shooting at Ren Suo’s character was shocked. At the same time, Ren Suo took out the “Holy Light 98K”, and the moment the chubby black man’s head appeared, he took aim at his head, which was covered in a black panther mask, through the 8x scope!
With a bang, a black glow of light radiated out from beneath the black panther mask. Although it looked mesmerizing, the chubby black man with the mask and the other man who had been blasted by Ren Suo’s Holy Grenade were ascending to the heavens, turning into strong men and following in their teammate’s footsteps to the skies.
Interestingly, the sight of the black men rising to the sky with white wings on their back actually looked strange…
At that juncture, only Ren Suo and two other chubby Xuan Nation men remained in the battlezone—but one of them also rose to the sky as it had been too long since he fell to the ground, turning him into a tall and handsome man.
Ren Suo repeated the same trick as before. He turned on the “Holy Message” function and said, “The people of Xuan Nation, remember this…”
He repeated the 18 descriptions of the monsters and then said, “When you go back, publish this information as soon as possible. Believe me, the earlier this information is published, the more beneficial it would be…”
“What if I forget about it?” the Xuan Nation man, who was on the ground, said.
“It’s just a short while later, you won’t forget about it,” Ren Suo said.
As Ren Suo finished his sentence, he controlled his character to emerge from hiding, and the chubby Xuan Nation man who had been observing the situation said, “She’s out!”
The other chubby Xuan Nation man who was hiding behind the stone also turned around and wanted to shoot Ren Suo’s character to death. However, Ren Suo had already pre-empted their moves and fitted the “Holy Light 98K” with a red dot sight. The moment Ren Suo saw the batman mask on the chubby face of the Xuan Nation man through the sight, Ren Suo blasted the man’s head with a 7.62mm Holy Bullet!
The next second, two handsome young men slowly rose to the skies.
“16… No, 14 down,” Ren Suo muttered as he sighed in relief. He briefly searched through the items that were left behind by the trainees he had eliminated, then returned to his snow unicorn. He headed straight for the Final Battle Zone—he had spent too much time on the previous two teams.
In that round of the game, Ren Suo had told the more important information of the monsters to 14 people from Xuan Nation. As long as one of them shared that information, he would not have spent his merit points and accumulated points in vain.
In [Holy Priest: Survival Battle], Ren Suo’s aim was not only to pass the stage and reap the rewards but also to reveal information about the monsters in [Over My Dead Body] during Round 2 of the game.
Ren Suo did not dare to reveal that information with his own name. Based on the previous three games that he played, “Naisser_Ren” would automatically upload the player’s game process onto the internet. In that way, every movement and action of Ren Suo’s character would be exposed on the internet, and what Ren Suo said regarding the monsters would naturally be heard by the government of Xuan Nation.
Nonetheless, there always had to be a Plan B. If “Naisser_Ren” did not do the same thing as he had done for the previous three games, Ren Suo pinned his hopes on another aspect of the game: actualization of the game in real life.
If Ren Suo still had not realized that the events which occurred in the game would become reality after he had been playing the games for some time, he would truly be a fool.
Although he did not know why events in [Over My Dead Body] which occurred in the past would become reality, it was only after he had finished playing [The Hitman] and [A Strong Warrior Ascends 10,000 Meters] that they turned into reality.
It was very likely that the trainees in [Holy Priest: Survival Battle] were humans. Of course, Ren Suo could not do anything if they were humans from a parallel universe.
Furthermore, Ren Suo had secretly listened in on the conversations of other trainees. They generally discussed topics like “reality” and “future technology”, and Ren Suo figured that such could not be AI-generated conversations.
That was why Ren Suo decided to tell the trainees of Xuan Nation information about the monsters.
As long as one person from Xuan Nation divulged the information, Ren Suo would then be able to review the important information and submit a proper report to the Countermeasure Division.
At that time, Ren Suo would naturally be able to perfectly accomplish his goal. He could receive a promotion and pay raise due to his “hard work from surfing the internet”.
There was also another reason why he chose to reveal the information about the monsters in Round 2: Round 3 was a single-player battle, and the trainees who were competing in that round would definitely be skilled and proficient. Even players who made in-game purchases would not be sufficiently confident that they could pass the round easily.
On the other hand, players could form teams in Round 2. Ren Suo would encounter four-men teams comprising people from Xuan Nation very easily, and he could reveal the information more quickly through the encounters.
However, to achieve that, Ren Suo naturally had to plan how to best utilize his accumulated points.
The truth was that, in terms of battle skills, Ren Suo could spend more time practicing to become more adept gradually. Even if he could not be the best, he could definitely train until he had average skills. As such, he could neglect becoming stronger in battle to overcome the weaknesses of the Talents he had for the time being.
Instead, what he needed was the ability to control the battlefield. He had to ensure his safety while being able to talk to the other trainees and be constantly aware of his enemies’ movements.
Hence, Ren Suo spent all of his 9000 accumulated points on “Blaze”!
[Blaze: The eyes of the trainee are bestowed with infrared-sensing abilities. The trainee would be able to detect the location of all living objects within a certain radius. The radius is 5 meters at Lv 1, and when fully-leveled, humans within a radius of 50 meters cannot be concealed.]
Ren Suo’s character was equipped with Blaze Lv 9, so no enemies within a 45-meter-radius could hide from his sight!
Without a doubt, had Ren Suo spent the 9000 accumulated points on combat Talents; he would definitely be at a losing end when fighting against enemies with the same standards as him if he did not eliminate the enemy at first sight–
Whether it was “Rage of the Wind”, “Curtain of Rain”, “Avalanche”, “Glorious Stars”, “Resplendent Moon”, or “Striking Sun”, they allowed the recovery weapon to be upgraded to that of another technology tree. If Ren Suo and his enemy knew each other’s location in a battle, the enemy with a combat Talent would be able to recover or gain an advantage by making use of it. Ren Suo who only had ordinary weapons would stand no chance against the enemy in that scenario.
However, the only player who made in-game purchases was Ren Suo.
Hence, none of the enemies’ Talents had the ability to cripple Ren Suo, at least in Round 2.
If Ren Suo managed to proceed to Round 3, he would then be able to obtain combat Talents, and would not be at a disadvantage, compared to the other trainees.
It is unfortunate, to players who did not purchase anything in the game, that such was just a part of the services provided to those who did make purchases in the game.
It was also only under such circumstances that Ren Suo could fully realize his “Reveal Plan”.
To increase the area in which his voice could be heard and make his words sound more impactful, Ren Suo had specially exchanged points for the “Sacred Voice” and the “Sacred Message” Talents.
The “Sacred Voice” Talent increased the area in which his voice could be heard, and made his voice sound crisper, more sacred, and more respectable;
The “Sacred Message” Talent was an active Talent that utilized energy when in effect. However, Ren Suo’s character was equipped with “Unlimited Energy” and could effectively use “Sacred Message” indefinitely. The effect was that Ren Suo’s words would be deeply etched in the minds of the listeners (provided they could understand him). The listeners would be able to remember the sacred message for one to three days, and would rapidly forget the message after that period.
The two Talents were absolutely useless in battle and required only 100 accumulated points to acquire, but they suited Ren Suo’s needs perfectly.
If the information provided by the game was factual, and the trainees would return to the real world, then it was possible that the hints that Ren Suo had planted would take effect.
“Now… it’s time to complete the game!”
