401. Betrayal

"Although we've clarified the Player ' origins and resurrection mechanics, there's still one crucial point... the origin of the entire system!"

Sulu stood on the high ground, gazing at the mythical square, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

First of all, the appearance of Player is definitely not something the world did on its own. This strong 'online game' feel doesn't seem like a rule that could evolve from an unconscious world.

Sulu even saw in this system a design style that gradually improved from simplicity.

"So it seems... the biggest culprit is the so-called ' Main God System '?"

This is just a name given by the Player; it could be a Curio, a strange creature, or even a deity!

"The possibility of deities is extremely small, it can basically be ruled out... They wouldn't need to go through such trouble to purify the dark side of the world..."

Yes, this system just feels like a hassle to Sulu!

"A strange creature? Connecting humanity and the Inner World? Probably not... The most likely explanation is a Curio or device—an auxiliary one."

If it were a powerful Curio, it would probably have already been controlled and completely purified the Inner World.

"Interesting... an ant that has mastered a divine artifact?"

After eliminating many options, the most likely possibility lay before Sulu, making his eyes shine brighter and brighter. It has to be said that, perhaps due to reading too many novels, his imagination in this regard has always been quite wild. "Indeed... only a weak little guy who possesses an incredible artifact would do something so contradictory..."

The so-called contradiction is that such a powerful entity, capable of drawing people into the Main God Game, is also extremely cautious and wary of Player.

An ordinary person who, with the help of external aids, can pull others into the Main God Game, but whose own strength is not great, can perfectly explain all of this.

"That item or device is not from the technological side, but from the mystical side... In other words... the other party used mystical power to achieve technology comparable to virtual reality."

"Judging from this 'online game mode,' they are either natives of Guni Planet, or teenage natives who enjoy playing games and have at least some experience with them..."

"After obtaining that Curio, perhaps he learned the truth about the world and had no choice but to stand up and resist? But he also had selfish motives and was very uneasy, so instead of handing it over to the World Government, he chose to act on his own?"

"The other party is very good at hiding their true nature, but while they are somewhat cowardly, they also crave power... That so-called Expert Leaderboard, or the Master Leaderboard, is somewhat suspicious."

Sulu had already discovered that although these Player had 'professions', they could not be considered true professionals.

The characters they control are merely 'game characters' created by the system, and the various abilities they possess are 'plugins' provided by the system.

Since it's an additional 'plugin', it can naturally be recycled at any time.

In short, the guy who controls the system has strict control over the 'life and death' of all Player.

"This shows that the other party is often uneasy, like a child walking through a market carrying gold... It can't be said that this worry is wrong..."

"Yes, it is indeed an excellent target."

Sulu suddenly slapped his forehead. "Wait a minute... what am I thinking? Wasn't my purpose in coming to this world to find the clues left by Sivinardo, or the possible sixth-order inheritance? When did I stoop so low as to plot to steal a child's toy? Is this a moral decline? Or a drop in my bottom line? No... a suspected divine artifact is not just a child's toy..."

"Besides... perhaps this is the guidance Sivinardo gave me. That item never belonged to that lucky person, but to Sivinardo..."

"He set up the coordinates of this world in the Mausoleum, hoping that someone would come and obtain that Curio?"

"Anyway... I still need to find an opportunity to Surface World!"

Sulu had given up on the idea of openly and legitimately descending into the Material World through the Main God System.

This is tantamount to voluntarily exposing oneself to the person behind the scenes.

"Actually... my true form has already been exposed. The posts about ' Dragon of Destruction ' on the forums outside are all over the place. Only a blind person wouldn't see it..."

"So... while my clone lies in wait, my main body must also make some moves from time to time... This serves both as cover for me and as a way to gain experience."

Although only about one percent of the 100 million Player are truly at a professional level and only receive experience upon death, the reward is steady and consistent. While it may not be inexhaustible, it is still quite substantial, allowing for at least dozens of reaps.

At that moment, Sulu suddenly saw a figure— Hayato to discover him and guess that he was the final boss.

His eyes lit up, and he prepared to show off his skills.

He's going to sell himself!

"Hayato!"

Thinking of this, Sulu stepped forward and stopped Hayato: "Is there a business deal you'd like to do?"

"What kind of business?"

Hayato stared at his new friend with great generosity and sincerity.

Since it's just a game, he's not afraid of what the other person might do.

"Actually... I've found the location of the ' Dragon of Destruction '! I want to sell it." Sulu said mysteriously, "But you know, I'm a newbie and I'm not familiar with any powerful and reputable guilds in the area, so could you help me find one...?"

"Damn!" Hayato exclaimed excitedly, "Brother... you..."

He glanced around, then subconsciously lowered his voice. "You're amazing... you actually found the location of the Dragon of Destruction? So many people chased it back then, it felt like it flew all the way out of the atmosphere..."

This Inner World is actually a flat continent with a round sky, Player have no contact with the sky at all.

In the end, all that's left is to look on with envy and sigh in vain.

"Pay half the deposit first, and I can take you to see it. You can pay the other half after you've inspected it. How about that?"

Sulu offered his suggestion with a smile.

To dare say that, one must be very confident.

Hayato patted his chest. "No problem, I've got it covered! I want to see that boss again... How many Niel do you want?"

The Niel is a real-world currency unit.

Because this Main God Game doesn't have a formal exchange or banking system, many Player are used to trading offline.

"No... I only need Crystal Core, one hundred first and second tier cores, and one third tier core."

Sulu.

"This price... is enough for you to take a job, upgrade your profession, and learn several skills."

Hayato looked on with envy. "Brother, you'll soon be past the beginner stage."

He didn't have any intention of interrogating the other party.

Because it's useless!

In this situation, Sulu can simply commit suicide; the Player can be resurrected, and besides, who would recognize whom after logging off?

Therefore, I'm prepared to stick to honest trading and earn a commission, which would be good enough.
