Chapter 448

The new character cards signify a new direction for deck building.

Roger was gradually coming to understand the Two-Dimensional World, knew very well.

The Elf Summoning Stream is certainly fun and easy to use.

However, this construction has certain flaws—

The little elves worked tirelessly and relentlessly.

This means they are well-suited for consistently dominating weaker opponents.

It does have a significant advantage when it comes to fighting low-level, large-scale monsters.

However, this can be effective when facing extremely powerful individuals.

The drawbacks of this school of thought gradually became apparent.

That is because the triggering conditions of the "World-Ending Forbidden Spell" are not stable enough!

Regarding this point.

Roger actually understood this deeply.

He had a lot of trouble Ancient Godspawn before.

The attack speed boost provided by the Eight Spirits is negligible in high-level battles.

Once the World-Ending Forbidden Spell is activated, it cannot be triggered for a short period of time.

Roger himself would then face enormous risks.

Not every enemy is like the Ancient Godspawn that Roger could hold off indefinitely.

so.

He had been hesitant ever since he entered the Black Crystal World.

Should we try a different build? Strong one-on-one combat ability is what Roger desperately needs right now! This would at least ensure that he has a fighting chance against a boss of Olmerdo's caliber.

As for dealing with ordinary monsters, the speed is slower.

That's acceptable.

He doesn't lack time for the time being.

Because Roger knew very well.

Sophie and Felton are unlikely to be in any trouble in the short term.

Try to put yourself in their shoes.

If he were Olmerdo.

They now had two of the most outstanding young people from the Celestial Gods Race at their disposal.

They will definitely use this as an excuse to make a fuss.

A mature strategist should use their lives to dig a huge pit for the Celestial Gods Race.

Simply killing them would be too wasteful.

He believed that an enemy of Olmerdo's caliber would naturally understand this path as well.

Based on the above point.

Right now, he's the only one who can move freely in the Black Crystal World, which is Olmerdo thorn in his side! He's the most unstable factor!

Olmerdo will do everything in his power to get rid of him.

In other words.

The path that lay before Roger was the most dangerous one.

This asymmetrical confrontation was destined to be fraught with difficulties from the very beginning...

Forehead.

It could also mean brothers everywhere.

He had just entered the outer perimeter of the Black Crystal Prison.

The resistance encountered was naturally not very great.

But for the sake of future plans.

A completely new construction is almost inevitable.

He originally planned to gradually reduce the proportion of the "Elf" stat in his Item Column after finishing the Shadow People.

But who would have thought that the Black Crystal Will would take the initiative to show goodwill.

With this character card.

Roger's worries vanished.

He just needs to figure out how to complete this task.

And that's all you need to know about deck building after you get the character cards!

See here.

Roger, who had been deep in thought, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just killing someone, right? He's an expert at that!

The next second.

He then decided to leave the bulletin board and look for the so-called "Starlight Tavern".

But at this very moment...

A message scrolled by silently.

Roger frowned slightly.

"Warning: Heart's Love Town is a neutral zone. Committing acts of violence in a neutral zone will make you an enemy of all residents of the Black Crystal World if discovered!"

"The neutral zone doesn't allow us to take action?" Roger was slightly taken aback.

How can you kill someone then? Or perhaps...

How can we punish the murderer without anyone knowing?

Roger's mind works very quickly.

He instantly thought of another point—

"If killing is not allowed in the neutral zone, then how was this Suffering Maiden harmed?"

"Does that mean that having your eyes gouged out, your tongue and ears cut off, and then sealing you away doesn't count as killing you?"

Roger found it somewhat unbelievable.

But upon closer examination, it seems to make sense.

This is, after all, Two-Dimensional World.

Although the Black Crystal World is already Two-Dimensional World that is relatively close to the Prime Material Plane in terms of its laws.

However, the rigidity of the rules will still be somewhat evident.

Thinking about this...

Roger couldn't help but check the mission description again and again.

The requirement for the First Ring is to "kill" Waiter X.

No other methods worked.

"So we can only wait for him to leave Heart's Love Town?"

Roger left the announcement area after pondering for a moment.

Next.

He didn't rush to the Starlight Tavern.

Instead, she controlled her character avatar and wandered around the bustling Heart's Love Town.

When he entered the town.

It was still around noon.

The sun was shining brightly.

After he finished shopping.

Night had already fallen.

The streets were brightly lit.

The crowds were several times larger than during the day.

By the starlight.

Roger stood wearily in front of the Starlight Tavern.

Then he pushed open the door and went inside.

Not long after.

He then ordered some drinks and food.

I found a booth to sit down and rest.

He glanced around the Starlight Tavern casually.

The mission objective Waiter X, was easily spotted.

The other party is greeting customers at the bar.

Judging from appearance

He was a handsome young man with a refined manner and a constant smile.

It seems that killing him in full view of everyone without being discovered is not an easy task.

Roger watched for a while.

There was no rush.

He was still processing the intelligence he had gathered in Heart's Love Town.

After a day of sightseeing.

Roger discovered something very interesting—

First.

In Heart's Love Town.

The "Silent Field" set up by the gods will not take effect.

This is because there is an eternally burning bonfire in the center of Heart's Love Town.

The campfire, known as the "Oasis of Fire," is protected by more than 12 strong guards 24 hours a day.

No one dared to offend the Oasis of Fire.

Because this is what the residents of Heart's Love Town rely on for their livelihood.

Roger found out.

There are many treasures like the "Oasis of Fire" in the Black Crystal World.

Almost every civilization has treasures that can counteract the Silent Field.

As long as you live near a treasure-like place.

That way, the Silent Field won't drain your body heat.

Then they can live like they would in the normal world.

The local residents can bring fresh firewood to "borrow fire" Celestial Capital.

The lit firewood becomes a "Heartwarming Torch".

That thing's attributes and appearance are exactly the same as the torch Roger got from the Deep Sea Giant Serpent.

Both clearly originate from the same source.

As for foreign travelers.

You can also get a torch in Heart's Love Town that is enough to ward off the Silent Field wilderness.

However, you need to pay with "Labor Coupon" issued by Heart's Love Town.

The latter can be obtained by completing tasks at the Heart's Love Town Government Office.

However, most of these tasks are physically demanding and poorly paid.

Most of the people who do these jobs use Labor Coupon to exchange for essential food.

Few people could afford to exchange their expensive torches.

second.

Unlike the Silent Forest with its singular laws.

The Black Crystal World contains human states.

Although it is roughly divided into three categories: "Hunger Index", "thirst index" and "fatigue index".

But it did genuinely affect the character's state.

Roger spent the day sightseeing.

The three major indices surged.

If he hadn't quickly found the Starlight Tavern to relieve his stress through eating, drinking, and resting, he would have been in trouble.

He might be on the verge of death right now!

This made him realize the reality of this world.

Unlike the Silent Forest.

Roger needs to consider more than just character card construction.

Their own survival is also of paramount importance.

During the daytime.

He exchanged all the Two-Dimensional World currency and metals he had collected from the Shadow People at a pawn shop.

I only received 300 Labor Coupon.

This amount of currency is enough for him to live a normal life in Heart's Love Town for at most 3 to 4 days.

Purchasing the supplies needed for travel and adventure is a luxury.

This was a novel experience for Roger.

After all, he hadn't been this poor in a long time.

The Tinder Pouch contained many items.

However, very few conform to the laws of the Two-Dimensional World.

He can't possibly sell the corpse of Ancient Godspawn, can he?

It can sell for a lot of money.

But the trouble it brings will likely be endless.

"We still need to make some money."

"Otherwise, let alone killing monsters, we won't even be able to maintain our character's status."

Inside the booth.

Roger ate while thanking the elves that they didn't need to eat.

They only need to rest for 4 hours a day to play for 20 hours.

She's arguably the most perfect employee!

As for Roger himself...

He must take one long rest and one short rest every 24 hours.

Otherwise, the three major indices will explode.

Roger didn't know what the consequences would be.

Inside the Starlight Tavern.

Roger silently finished replenishing his status.

Waiter X was constantly busy.

He was completely oblivious to Roger's gaze.

The latter waited patiently in the tavern until midnight.

But there are always so many guests here.

Waiter X seemed to have inexhaustible energy.

I've been busy providing services.

Late at night.

The tavern is closing.

Roger booked a room to rest.

He still couldn't find any opportunity to make a move.

Therefore, we can only continue to observe.

The next Celestial Capital passed in a similar rhythm.

Roger was surprised to discover.

This Waiter X, has almost no life of his own.

Apart from necessary rest time.

He was always busy at the bar.

Regular customers seemed to have long been accustomed to his iron-man work ethic.

Due to the nature of the work.

X is always surrounded by a lot of people.

Roger wasn't even confident he could kill him.

Moreover, it happened without a sound.

Day four.

Roger's Labor Coupon were all gone.

Today has passed.

He didn't even have the money to pay the hotel bill.

You can't really go and work to earn money, can you?

Roger rejected the possibility without even thinking.

He decided to take a risk! That day at noon.

Roger easily found his way to the back street of Starlight Tavern.

On this narrow and dark street.

Some homeless people were lying haphazardly.

There were both men and women among them.

But none of them were unkempt or looked haggard.

There were cheap liquor bottles scattered around them.

Although it lacks an olfactory mechanism.

But when Roger walked by.

It was as if I could smell the lingering effects of a hangover.

He walked quickly past some homeless people.

Finally, they arrived in the shadows.

Here.

Lying there was a somewhat unusual homeless man.

He looked to be in his forties.

He was covered in dirt.

He seemed to be in a hangover state, just like everyone else.

But Roger saw through his disguise at a glance!

On the data panel.

Hint: You have discovered a ' Assassin Disguised as a Drunkard '.

"Should we negotiate?"

"Negotiations are underway..."

"Assassin (drunk): Wine! Give me wine!"

Roger (coldly): I'll give you wine, you kill someone for me.

"Assassin (surprised): What nonsense are you talking about?! I would never kill anyone! Are you crazy?!"

Roger (calmly): I know who you are. State your demands, and I will give you a satisfactory price.

Assassin (silent):...

"Assassin (in anguish): I don't want to kill anymore, you can leave."

"Roger (tempting): One Ancient Silver Coin, help me kill the tavern Waiter X, I believe you can do it."

Assassin (shocked): Ancient Silver Coin?

"Assassin (ecstatic): Are you serious?"

"Assassin (confidently): Deal!"

Four hours later.

At dusk.

Western exit of Heart's Love Town.

Roger, who was about to leave, glanced at the data panel.

"Log: Your murder commission has been completed."

"The Assassin killed Waiter X and retrieved the victim's eyeballs!"

"You've completed the First Ring of your special mission!"

"You have earned the maiden's gratitude: Minion Recruitment Ticket."

"Minion Recruitment Ticket: You can use it in taverns in neutral locations."

During the period when the recruitment coupon is valid.

You will have a certain chance to recruit several followers of random strength.
