Chapter 54
In the space, when God received the offerings, he glanced down. The followers were worshipping devoutly, occasionally glancing up with reverent eyes.
However, God’s gaze remained indifferent. He looked down arrogantly, viewing the worshiping humans as tiny ants.
He belonged neither to the side of righteous nor evil, almost nothing in this world caught his interest.
The large, silver-white sacred robe hung down in the space as he casually glanced at the offerings. What seemed like rare treasures to the people appeared as insignificant as dust to him, not worth a second look.
“Give them 1%,” he thought, showing pity for these people. After all, the maximum he can give is 10,000, which is 1,000,000%.
When the luck value descended, the people of the Green Camp were ecstatic. Usually, they only received 0.8%, but this time it was 1%. It seemed their fate was sealed!
God bestowed the blessing, and at the same time lightly tapped a small black dot floating in the vast dark space.
A cold voice echoed through the space, even resonating, “Go, as the final card of the evil side this time.”
One of the countless black dots detached from the space and entered this world. It gradually formed limbs, a head, and developed a hideous skin, unleashing its own power, becoming the final boss that made all players tremble in fear.
As everything was set, God’s expression softened, and his demeanor was no longer so arrogant but rather carried a hint of restraint.
He no longer stood high and looking down, but crouched, his eyes fixed at figure of Bai Ruogu riding a bicycle below.
He pointed at the light screen, as if wanting to turn the bicycle into a luxurious aircraft, but he couldn’t.
Because Bai Ruogu didn’t want it. If given directly, it would make him unhappy.
God noticed that Bai Ruogu’s level was only 13, clearly lagging behind other humans in this world.
God was displeased. Why did everyone else have such high levels, but the one he liked was so low? The one he liked should have the best of everything in the world.
Realizing his affection could enhance a player’s physical attributes, he wondered what Bai Ruogu’s affection level was.
The system began calculating: 88199… 946376551… 9876943918281… 98205912343828845380897913…
[Alert! Alert! System overload!]
[Alert! Alert! Please stop the calculation. The value is infinitely large, causing system disruption. Activating SSS+ level defense protocol. Shut down the calculation within 10 seconds, or the system will crash completely!]
Bai Ruogu and Yang Liu traveled a long distance and finally arrived at the final boss’s lair.
Before them was a vast desert, with wind and sand everywhere. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but the desolate smoke and the setting sun over a long river.
Yang Liu looked around for a long time but couldn’t find any sign of the boss.
“Strange, why is there not even a shadow?”
Bai Ruogu glanced at the numerous players gathered around tents, lost in thought. “Maybe the boss isn’t above ground.”
“Then where is it?”
Bai Ruogu pointed downward, his voice steady, “Underground.”
Yang Liu stared at the sand, now holding Bai Ruogu in high regard. Whatever Bai Ruogu said, he believed.
As the two moved deeper into the player camp, they overheard discussions, confirming Bai Ruogu’s suspicion.
Indeed, the boss was underground, hidden within a massive desert palace.
Bai Ruogu and Yang Liu casually found a spot to sit. They could hear the conversations around them clearly.
“Hey, according to the experts, this boss has a dark attribute. Its emitted mist seems to be corrosive.”
“Really?”
“Yes! This isn’t just any corrosion. Even SS-class materials can be corroded, let alone us bare humans.”
“Damn, how do we fight that?!”
Others were discussing different matters.
“Hey, why hasn’t the Green Camp arrived yet? Are they not participating?”
“What are you thinking?! They are known as the gathering place of bigwigs and have won over 20 championships in a row. There is an 80% chance that they will win the championship again this time. Why don’t you just take the opportunity to get some free glory?”
“Tsk!” someone sneered, “If that’s the case, why are we here? To serve as a foil?”
Another person snorted, “Who cares about them winning again? I don’t care anymore. I just hope anyone but the Green Camp wins this time.”
“Hey, that’s not very good, is it?”
“If you want to suck up to them, go ahead. They don’t care about us. You think flattering them will make them accept you? With their nature, maybe in the next life!”
“You…”
“Alright, alright, stop it. We’re all on the same team…” someone stepped in to mediate as the argument heated up.
As they argued, a loud engine roared, accompanied by a cloud of dust and bright headlights. The arguing people immediately fell silent.
Bai Ruogu’s gaze was drawn to the commotion. When he saw the luxurious war chariot, his eyes widened in amazement, and he gasped in admiration.
The configuration of this war chariot was quite good. He really wanted to dismantle it and try it out.
Yang Liu, unlike Bai Ruogu, had some common sense. When he saw the Green Camp’s emblem on the chariot, he took a deep breath, and a look of envy appeared on his face.
If his level were high enough, he would have wanted to join the Green Camp immediately.
Although Bai Ruogu did not understand the identity of this group, seeing the people around him retreat, he had a rough idea about them.
Especially when he heard the words “Green Camp” and remembered what Yang Liu had said earlier, he suddenly understood and looked at the Green Camp people with a different gaze.
People from the Green Camp seem to have an air of arrogance by nature, even if they don’t mean it. They take it for granted when others make concessions.
Following the information they had gathered at their base camp, a group of people headed towards the entrance of the underground palace. The rest followed, hoping to get a share of the pie.
Bai Ruogu was new and had no foundation or information, so he followed the Green Camp, hoping to quickly find the entrance.
They walked over a sandy area that appeared unremarkable, but the Green Camp members gathered around.
“Is it really underneath? But how do we get in?”
Before the words were finished, a man with tattoos on his arms from the Green Camp took out a modified rocket launcher and fired several shots at the sand.
In an instant, dust filled the air, accompanied by explosions, until a loud noise was heard, and the ground was blasted open, revealing an entrance.
The entrance was large enough to accommodate three or four people at once, reinforced with stone walls to prevent sand from collapsing.
The others murmured in surprise, while the Green Camp members remained calm and walked in as if they were used to such scenes.
Inside was pitch black, so each person from the Green Camp took out a flashlight to illuminate the passage.
The others followed with the mindset of getting some leftovers. But when they reached the area with twenty forks in the road, their thoughts changed.
They arrived at a place resembling a small square, surrounded by stone walls, with twenty passages to choose from.
Everyone knew that only one passage led to the boss, and that passage…
Their eyes lit up as they looked at each other, seeing the shadow of wealth in each other’s eyes.
Yes, according to previous experience, these passages either led to the boss or treasures!
If they had the strength of the Green Camp, choosing the boss would be a good option. After all, the wealth from defeating the boss would surpass the sum of the other passages.
The Green Camp quickly deduced the boss’s passage based on previous experience and chose it without hesitation.
As for the other passages, they wouldn’t prevent others from taking them. After all, they didn’t need to be that ruthless.
When the Green Camp entered the boss’s passage, the other groups looked at each other and rushed into the other passages. Some passages had as few as three to five groups, while others had dozens.
The boss’s passage was occupied solely by the Green Camp.
Just as Yang Liu was about to join the others to grab treasures, Bai Ruogu pulled him into the boss’s passage.
Yang Liu, in despair, tried to break free from Bai Ruogu. “My brother, even if you are good at everything, you can’t do this! This boss is beyond human capabilities. You can’t possibly beat it! We shouldn’t compete with those blessed by God!”
Bai Ruogu paused, turned to look at him with an unclear expression, and said in a low voice, “Blessing of God? What’s that?”
The Green Camp members were walking when they suddenly heard footsteps. They turned around and saw two roughly equipped but decent-looking men.
Lou Hua sneered, “Hmph, another bunch trying to scavenge.”
Mu Li’s eyes were cold, but he paid no attention to Bai Ruogu and Yang Liu. He lifted his weapon and pulled the trigger, confident that no one could benefit under his hand.
Although Si Shi’s level was low, he was extremely proud. Seeing Bai Ruogu’s low level, he was even more disdainful.
With such a low level, why even bother fighting the boss? It was just a waste.
He stepped forward, the golden light of his blessing spreading out, clearly showing the favorability of God.
Seeing Bai Ruogu had no divine blessing, he disregarded him entirely.
Some people are blessed by God to varying degrees at birth, unless they are born in extremely harsh conditions where they receive no divine blessing, thus lacking any halo.
The group continued towards their goal, ignoring Bai Ruogu.
As they went deeper, the surroundings became unnaturally dark, and the damp, sticky air made everyone’s stomachs uncomfortable.
Suddenly, the passage ahead cleared, revealing a dimly lit area.
When the Green Camp members reached the front, they froze, as if they had seen something extraordinary.
Bai Ruogu quickened his pace and, standing next to them, took in the scene.
A tall white statue, about tens of meters high, shone with a faint holy light even in this dark place.
The statue was too familiar. Seeing it, Bai Ruogu’s mouth twitched, but a rare feeling of nostalgia rose in his heart.
It was Su Mou.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, he saw the people from the Green Camp instantly line up neatly beside him. They looked solemnly at the statue, as if they were preparing for something.
What were they planning to do?
Just as Bai Ruogu became more vigilant, fearing they might damage the statue, he heard Mu Li say coldly.
“Kneel.”
With a “thud,” dozens of people knelt simultaneously, bowing respectfully to the statue.
“God above, bless us…”
Bai Ruogu: ? ? ?
What are you doing?!!
Si Shi, after kneeling down, unexpectedly received a 0.01% blessing from God. He raised his head proudly and looked at the bewildered Bai Ruogu with a provocative expression.
“What? Don’t you worship God in your place? It’s quite normal. After all, the more remote the place…”
As he was speaking, Bai Ruogu interrupted him with a puzzled expression.
“What’s so great about worshipping this God?”
Si Shi looked at Bai Ruogu in horror, pointing at him. “How can you say such things in front of God? That’s disrespectful!”
Bai Ruogu: …
He glanced at the giant statue, especially at the familiar face, and smirked.
“I’m not being disrespectful, just equal.”
Si Shi was shocked. “What nonsense are you talking about? God are high above us. How could we be equal… You…” As he spoke, he glanced at the statue, hoping that God would see that he was protecting them so much and would give him more blessings or favor.
However, he didn’t know that God had been looking for a reason to bless Bai Ruogu, but Bai Ruogu could never worship God, and God couldn’t find an opportunity to transmit power.
Just when Bai Ruogu touched the statue, God suddenly found a reason.
His eyes curved into a smile, wanting to transfer all his power to Bai Ruogu. However, the game settings had a limit, and he could only transfer 2% at a time.
At that moment, everyone from the Green Camp suddenly saw a message flash above Bai Ruogu’s head.
[Congratulations to player Bai Ruogu for receiving 2% favoralibity from God.]
Everyone from the Green Camp: ? ? ? What?!
2%!!! They were shocked! Completely stunned!
Si Shi dumbfoundedly asked, “Why did God increase his favorability even though he disrespected him?”
Just then, another message flashed in the air, answering him.
[God thinks this person has character. It is precisely his disdain for God that attracted God.]
Everyone: …
