After briefly explaining the core of his plan, Ed was already looking at this Soul Returner with new respect.
The so-called "history construction" actually refers to fabricating a history. In other words, the core of [ Ginseng Rooster ]'s plan is to sow discord among the Fir City by fabricating unofficial history.
How should I put this plan...?
At first glance, Ed felt there was some truth to it, but not much.
Their enemies have never been upright gentlemen. For those who have already lost their moral compass, what harm can fabricating some morally corrupt anecdotes do to them?
Are we to turn around and spread rumors that Antiya Lisi is a kind archbishop who helps an elderly woman with half a tree stump cross the street every morning?
Such rumors would likely make Antiya Lisi seem less than virtuous.
After all, he's an old man...
Seeing Ed's somewhat puzzled look, [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ] stepped forward and said:
"My lord, this plan was jointly proposed and intended to be implemented by him and me. I have some understanding of some aspects of the World of Disorder (referring to the game's settings), and I believe that by working together, we can find the true weakness of Antiya Lisi."
Oh, I almost forgot about this "disorder scholar" who was also present.
Ed looked at [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ], a veteran player from the game's early days. He had actually secretly watched some of the game's in-depth storyline videos.
Furthermore, Ed hadn't forgotten that it was he and [ Zhong Lele ] and others who jointly submitted the video, which revealed the true identity of their experimental subject.
Their abilities are beyond question, their loyalty is top-notch, and the fact that the fabricated history they want to create has nothing to do with them actually led Ed to consider and ultimately grant their request.
According to [ Ginseng Rooster ]'s idea, Ed was only verbally granted some authority to carry out special side missions this time, and this Soul Returner seemed to enjoy the feeling of running a secret front on his own.
After giving them some cash, [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ] and [ Ginseng Rooster ] left Ed's study and went to [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ]'s cabin to start their conversation.
"Alright, now that the plan has been approved, can you tell me what you want to do?"
[ The Great Wei Boxing Champion ] sat on the bed in the single room and pushed a chair next to his friend.
"Simply put, once you say you're going to construct history, you're going to construct history."
"Of course I know about fabricating history, but the moral values of people in World of Disorder are different from ours. What kind of rumors are you planning to spread?"
"Hmm, after playing this game for so long, have you noticed a problem?"
"What?"
"It seems this game omitted a lot of certain content in order to pass censorship."
"What's the meaning?"
[ Ginseng Rooster ] revealed a wicked smile and said:
"Think about it, before the Second Holy See appeared, this region was controlled by those Fallen One."
"They raised taxes, oppressed the common people, and conscripted laborers, but there was one thing they didn't do."
What is it?
"They're abducting women!"
[ Ginseng Rooster ] spread his hands and said:
"According to the logic of those works and movies in reality, this is also an essential part, but think about it, since the game started, has the World of Disorder ever had any problems in this regard?"
"... Indeed, no."
[ The Great Wei Boxing Champion ] thought for a moment and gave an affirmative answer.
He realized early on that this was a world somewhat devoid of sexual desire, whether it was the heroes, villains, or even experimental subjects and ordinary people...
If the reason given was to pass censorship, that seems a bit far-fetched.
After all, any Aberration animal or plant Aberration you randomly pick and put in reality would need to be censored before it could pass the review process.
Furthermore, Odin Game Company ' capabilities allow them to operate freely online, so it doesn't seem reasonable to say it was solely for the purpose of passing censorship.
Currently, among all the important NPCs, it seems that only the merchant Gray has a spouse and family; all the others do not have this issue.
[ The Great Wei Boxing Champion ] thought for a moment and said:
"I suppose this is what they mean by 'everyone in World of Disorder has their own things to do'? It feels like there are only two kinds of people in this world: one is the Sigma people, regardless of gender, and the other is people who are struggling to make ends meet, even keeping warm is a problem, so it's naturally difficult for them to move on to the next step."
[ Ginseng Rooster ] nodded firmly and said:
"That's right, so once we understand Antiya Lisi's family situation, we can construct a targeted historical narrative."
"Oh? You need to find out about their family situation too?"
"Of course, different rumors need to be used specifically for married and unmarried individuals to achieve a better damaging effect."
[ The Great Wei Boxing Champion ] covered his face, realizing he shouldn't have dragged his friend into this World of Disorder...
Although he already knew the other person studied journalism, he never expected it to have such an application prospect.
A hint of pity for Antiya Lisi showed on his face:
"If he's unmarried, what are you going to say?"
[ Ginseng Rooster ] blurted out:
"Why doesn't he get married? You can tell from his profession; he's an archbishop, a priest! What he really loves is..."
"Okay, stop talking. We already used the 'Little Boy ' joke a few days ago with the [ Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop ], although it didn't refer to a Little Boy..."
He forced down his trembling lips and pressed on:
"What if he gets married?"
[ Ginseng Rooster ] sighed:
"Then we'll just have to educate his family about Antiya Lisi's dark history of selling his genitals in the Holy City when he was young..."
"This... are you sure this is the whole mission?"
A day later, the skilled player [ Howling Pothos ], who was lurking in Fir City, received a message from his smuggling partner [ Do Some Farm Work ] outside the city.
My old acquaintance, [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ], surprisingly submitted a request: to investigate the location of Archbishop Antiya Lisi's residence outside the cathedral and his family situation.
After learning about the mission details, [ Howling Pothos ] felt that the World of Disorder should be renamed the absurd world.
What's this?
Do you use the traditional method for opening the box?
But faced with the allure of the gleaming gold coins, he was somewhat tempted.
Because the mission was very risky, the price offered by [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ] was very fair. If he succeeded, the reward would be enough for him to order another multi-functional piece of equipment from [ Do Some Farm Work ] and still have some left over.
Having accepted the commission, [ Howling Pothos ] began to think about how to find Antiya Lisi's outer residence.
Having learned from his previous experience, he knew that directly following the other party was completely unwise.
Last time, he only secretly glanced at Antiya Lisi, and the other party marked him, allowing the entire city's treants to beat him to death.
