The Despicable Main God
(Requesting monthly votes, new mission begins)
Newcomers to Shadow Street usually participate in the Initial Trial alone, and it's rare for them to be on a mission with veterans like this. This is only the second time Li Wei has encountered this situation.
The first time was during a quest in the Legend of Wulin.
At this moment, several people stepped out from the crowd and shouted, "Everyone, quiet down! First of all, I want to tell everyone not to panic. Experienced members, please stand with me. Those who are on their first mission, stay where you are."
Immediately, several people looked at each other and walked out of the crowd; clearly, this wasn't their first time experiencing a mission.
Of the remaining people, more than half remained. After thinking for a moment, Li Wei decisively walked out and stood next to the senior who had just spoken.
"Alright, first of all, I want to tell everyone that congratulations on becoming a member of Shadow Street. You should all know a little about the legends of Shadow Street." This veteran spoke eloquently, and several newcomers' eyes lit up immediately. Obviously, they had heard about what Shadow Street was before.
"Very well, let's get straight to the point. This is your first mission world, but for us veterans, it's not our first. As a veteran, I must warn you: never let your guard down. The dangers within this mission world far exceed your imagination. However, as long as you complete the tasks issued on the Yellow Paper, you will receive corresponding rewards, thereby strengthening yourselves." The veteran finished speaking in one breath, and then got to the point. "Even though you are all magic crystal warriors, that little ability is not enough to help you pass the mission trials 100%. Therefore, we must unite. Only in this way can we survive better."
Next, the reincarnator recounted the key points of Shadow Street and the mission, regardless of how many people would actually follow his instructions.
"The main quest hasn't been released yet. Those who want to follow me, stand behind me. Those who don't, I won't force them." As soon as he finished speaking, several veterans stepped forward.
Li Wei shook his head with a wry smile. The strongest of these veterans was only B3 level, which was quite unusual.
The Main God must have a conspiracy by placing so many weaklings with Him.
Some chose to stay with the experienced individuals, while others showed distrust and waited to see what would happen. Many more, however, wore disdainful expressions; these were all individuals with certain special abilities.
Li Wei did not join the camp of the previous veteran, but chose to observe the situation. During this time, the people in the barracks tried to open the tightly closed hatch, but were told that the code was incorrect.
The veterans scoffed, "Without the main questline unlocked, nobody can leave here. You newbies shouldn't waste your energy."
The newcomers also looked hostile, clashing sharply with the veterans. Although they all knew that this was not the time to have a conflict, a verbal exchange was unavoidable.
Soon, everyone's Yellow Paper suddenly appeared. Fortunately, Li Wei had already hidden in a corner where no one would notice him. In addition, everyone was so shocked by the tasks on the Yellow Paper that no one noticed Li Wei's Black Paper.
"Mission World: Death Space, Main Mission 1: Do not leave the Ishimura within 72 hours; violators will be eliminated; Main Mission 2: Engage in a team battle with the Blue Blood Star Domain Reincarnators who will enter the mission world after 24 hours. Annihilate the entire opposing team to complete the mission. Killing one enemy Starfield Reincarnator rewards 3000 points; killing an enemy Starfield Destroyer rewards 300,000 points..."
In Li Wei's mission rewards, there was one more item.
"Mission complete. Reward: 2 pieces of Superior Darksteel..."
Upon seeing this, Li Wei's eyes lit up. Just as An Hei had said, this thing did indeed come from the mission world.
"... Each team has one hidden Destroyer. Another member of each team will randomly receive the 'Destroyer Slayer' item, which can be used to instantly kill Destroyer... Another member of each team will randomly receive the 'Absolver' item, which can instantly teleport an enemy member out of the mission world..."
"Mission start countdown: 3...2...1"
Li Wei quickly put away the Black Paper, his heart pounding.
This is clearly a new rule set by that damned Main God. That 'Destroyer Slayer' item can actually kill you directly. This is troublesome.
Fortunately, only the 'Destroyer Slayer' from the opposing faction can kill me, and the opposing faction won't enter the mission world for 24 hours, giving me some time to make preparations.
While his mind raced through the analysis, a synthesized electronic voice rang out from inside the barracks.
"Attention... All Marines, assemble immediately on deck seven. Follow your superiors, don all combat gear, and remember, this is not a drill... All Marines, assemble immediately on deck seven..."
The sound played on a loop, while the reincarnators inside the barracks were making a lot of noise, discussing information from the mission they had just completed.
"Damn it, it's Death Space mission! I've played this game before. Could there be some kind of terrifying monster here?" A burly man was already pale with fright.
"Who is the Destroyer? Step forward, let's get to know each other so we can protect you later!" a veteran shouted, but obviously, his shouts received no response.
Li Wei wouldn't be foolish enough to go out; doing so would be tantamount to sentencing himself to death.
If your identity is exposed, even though these people are teammates on the same side, don't forget that the enemy has the 'Absolver' item, which can instantly teleport a person out of the mission world.
This is such a huge opportunity. Li Wei couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be any cowards who, in order to save their own lives, would betray the Destroyer to the Reincarnators of the Blue Blood Star Domain. After all, once the 'Destroyer Slayer' artifact knew the Destroyer's identity, it could immediately kill the person.
Therefore, he absolutely could not let anyone discover his identity Destroyer, not even his teammates. Of course, Li Wei was not worried that the other side could use the 'Destroyer Slayer' item on the opposing faction's Reincarnators one by one. If his guess was correct, this item could only be used once.
The commotion continued, and seeing that no one admitted to being the Destroyer, some people shouted for the person who possessed the 'Destroyer Slayer' and 'Absolver' items to step forward.
Of course, anyone with a modicum of common sense would know that in this situation, one cannot admit to possessing these two tools. After all, you can't judge a book by its cover, and these are clearly cheat codes; anyone would suspect that.
No one knew who the Destroyer was, and no one knew who had the two items. As a result, everyone looked at their teammates with a hint of distrust and wariness.
Originally teammates on the same side, they are now all harboring ulterior motives.
Li Wei sighed inwardly, thinking to himself, "Main God, you really are a schemer, designing such a damned mission rule. Even if my combat power reaches A3, I could still be killed in the next second."
Of course, he could have easily wiped out all the reincarnators in the Blue Blood Star Domain, but Li Wei knew that the Main God wouldn't make such a foolish mistake.
This is like a war. The side that enters the battlefield first will gain many advantages, while the side that enters later will naturally be at a disadvantage. However, that also illustrates a point: according to the Main God's rule of equal combat power, the side that enters the battlefield later will naturally be stronger than the side that enters first.
This is an easy point to consider. Of course, whether he can kill them all is also an unknown. If he exposes his strength and is targeted by a Reincarnator wielding the 'Destroyer Slayer', it would be tantamount to a death sentence.
For a moment, Li Wei really wanted to raise his head and curse the Main God, but he forcibly held back.
Just then, the tightly closed hatch clicked open.
Then an officer in military uniform appeared at the door.
"What are you bastards doing? Didn't you hear the emergency assembly order? Get your protective suits on and weapons ready within one minute!"
The sound was like a thunderclap. The group of reincarnators knew this was part of the mission storyline, so they quickly filed out and rushed towards the armory.
Li Wei was no exception.
The Blue Blood Star Domain Reincarnators will enter the mission world in 24 hours, so let's deal with the current situation first. Li Wei knows that these 24 hours will be fraught with danger.
After donning standard Marine Corps protective gear and receiving a rifle and several magazines from the ordnance officer, I rushed to the deck of Ship Number Seven, where hundreds of Marines had already gathered.
Looking at them with my Eye of Perception, I realized these people were indeed characters from the main storyline, and judging from their expressions, something major had clearly happened.
"Stand at attention"
An officer stood on the platform, his hands behind his back, a scar on his face making him look particularly ferocious.
"This is Major Gray, your commander. I regret to inform you that an incident has occurred on our ship, the Ishimura. A small mining vessel entered Port 3 without permission, and we lost all contact with it about ten minutes ago. Although all the gates of Port 3 have been closed, we are unaware of what happened there. The captain has ordered us to investigate, so our mission is to enter the closed Port 3. Any questions?"
The audience was completely silent. All the reincarnators knew that this was necessary for the mission's plot, and they also knew that Port No. 3 must be filled with those mutated monsters at this moment.
Seeing that no one raised any questions, Major Gray nodded and shouted, "First squad, second squad, enter Port Three through both passages, scout the situation, and depart!"
