Chapter 230: Chapter 156: Something’s Off About the Picture Style (Part 1)_1
When the angry players returned to the spaceship matrix and informed Sir Big Tail that the bad woman had appeared and taken away the ancient instrument and the King, his delight immediately turned to grief.
The ancient instrument was the squirrels’ trump card for evading the Shadows; they had always been extra careful when using it, never expecting a god to discover it this time.
After listening to the players’ descriptions of the bad woman, Sir Big Tail became even more despairing.
“That is Lady Tragedy, a deity who adores tragedy,” it explained to the players, “She believes that the essence of life is found within tragedy. Suffering, despair, and destruction are the best nutrients for the flower of tragedy. Now it seems that Her taking the ancient instrument serves not only to collect it but also to witness our despair.”
“So, She deceived us just to see our anger!”
“Being deceived is a tragedy in itself. Moreover, being powerless to retaliate after being deceived is the tragedy within tragedy.”
After explaining the origins of Lady Tragedy, Sir Big Tail managed a weak smile: “Thank you for your help, envoys of the Outer God. The ancient instrument has been taken away, and your mission is complete. However, I still hope you can stay to help clear the Shadows and rescue the squirrels.”
“What will you do?”
“Without the ancient instrument, Songta Planet will not recover for hundreds of years. We will choose a new planet to settle on, but with the scarcity of planets right now, our best option is to join a species willing to accept us and become contracted servants to them. Thank you again, Envoys.”
Sir Big Tail had thought about asking for help from the Outer God, Fang Cheng, but ultimately gave up on the idea.
Asking for help with repairing the planet would involve “causality,” and if Fang Cheng had to confront a deity, it would be even more impossible.
If Lady Tragedy dared to fool an envoy of the Outer God, she must have perceived that her powers far exceeded those of the Outer God. Moreover, with the support of the Heavenly Tao network and numerous gods as her backing, the Outer God would definitely not intervene.
Forcing a smile towards the players, Sir Big Tail sat on the ground, powerless, its eyes dull and without luster, tail limply resting to the side, making the large squirrel seem extremely vulnerable.
On the forum, players were exploding with anger.
Inside the Game Inn, a multitude of players posted on their mobile phones, denouncing this NPC.
Some players commented “I totally love that bad woman,” but most felt that they should drag her over and beat her until she cries.
In the “Squirrel Spaceship” sub-forum, players used the filthiest words they could find to attack Lady Tragedy. This time not only did the moderators not delete the posts, but they even pinned those that were particularly eloquent in their curses, clearly indicating that the moderators were also beyond furious.
Some suspected that the moderators were among those particularly affected players, which is why they were so angry.
[This is just too much! Really, way too much!]
[That’s right! The last time I was this mad was when playing Warcraft and being tricked to the top of a mountain, then being forcefully sold a parachute by an NPC!]
[That doesn’t sound too bad.]
[The parachute only lasted ten seconds!]
[We worked hard for two days, I formed a deep friendship with the big brother in line for the game and decided to explore together, and now it’s all for nothing! I’m depressed, and so is big brother!]
[You’re still okay; I took time off to play, just so I could see if there were any special benefits when completing the task, and in the end, she didn’t even have a slightly risqué image.]
[Uh… Fang Cheng Studio’s games usually don’t have risqué content. And you already have Mukuai by your side, do you still want risqué stuff?]
[That’s different. Anyway, what should we do now!]
While the players were angry, someone stepped up and made a post.
[Being Deceived is What You Deserve]
The provocative title appeared at this time, directly poking at the players’ sensitive nerves, readying their verbal weapons to vent the anger of being deceived.
However, inside the post, the user Liuzi directly said: [Sorry, I deceived you all, I too am a victim, I was grinding all day only to gain nothing. This was just a method to attract attention, without it you probably wouldn’t have looked at this post. I just want to ask one question, do you want to fight back or not? If so, keep reading, if not, curse once and close the post.]
[Not all gods are despicable, but this deity is particularly vile. I’ve talked to other NPCs and know everything about that guy. Betrayal is Her specialty, toying with hearts is Her job. She is the worst scoundrel, the kind everyone wants to hit!]
[Although She deceived us, let’s not forget what She took away? The ancient instrument and the squirrel King, rewards that were supposed to be given to us! And just right, the spaceship matrix can now support us to lock on to the ancient instrument’s location. So if we follow the path of the ancient instrument, we can find that bastard!]
[Now, those who want to join me in revenge, get into my Revenge Squirrel Alliance Group, let’s figure out a way to take down that boss and snatch back what we deserve!]
[Snatch it back!]
A group of 2000 filled up instantly, and people began actively preparing for revenge.
Apart from Liuzi, many others shared their opinions on Lady Tragedy, among them the most notable were Squirrel One, Squirrel Two, and Squirrel Three.
