Chapter 778: Chapter 615: The Kingly Return of the Demonic Puppet
Since Zhou Qing mentioned it’s very confidential, Chun didn’t insist anymore and said in a deliberately relaxed manner, "Maybe it’s not a big deal, just casually search for it."
Zhou Qing reminded, "Brother Chun, if you calculate the time connection between the two games, it’s the tribute from a thousand years ago. Isn’t that a big deal?"
Holy shit, a thousand-year-old tribute? That would be...
"Alright, but don’t push it too hard."
"Got it. If you’re not busy, Brother Chun, the dinner has been delivered."
"Alright, I’m not busy now."
Speaking of which, earlier when the sub-account was at the Golden Divine Throne, that Michael took the Ugly Emperor to tour the botanical garden, where a few rare plants were also mentioned in the old game guide Zhou Qing provided. If it’s the tribute from a thousand years ago, its level is definitely higher than those few in the botanical garden.
The situation with the City Beauty is deeper than imagined. But probably no need to rush, considering it has been growing from a small pit, a few days won’t make a difference.
So, the current top priority is for the Vine to hide behind other flower pots and not be discovered. Apparently, this Vine has no skills, and the Great Explorer’s Invisibility Technique can’t be used, which is falling behind.
Moreover, this advanced Nightmare gets off work at 5 a.m., what would happen if the chance is taken to break the bell in the Bell Tower so it doesn’t chime at 5? At the very least, would the whole city be lazing around?
Then, if the Nightmare can’t be seen coming out, maybe it’s walking in the Nightmare Realm, can it be intercepted here and there?
While considering the plan, the delivery guy knocked: "Brother Chun!"
"Coming!"
The delivery guy pushed in a trolley: "Brother Chun, try the new garlic belly strip soup with braised shredded squid..."
Chun laughed: "President Zhou is getting better and better!"
The delivery guy said again: "There is news from the Great God; two chubby men selling cigarettes have arrived at Iron Flame Village. They are focusing all their activities around these two."
Chun was pleased: "Good, everyone continues to perform normally."
"Then enjoy your meal slowly, Brother Chun..."
...
Underground of Oak City.
After receiving Alpha’s latest instructions, Tata War God relaxed his mindset.
Then he heard the continuous sawing inside from the Demonic Puppet. At first, the sawing sound was normal, but afterward, it became more and more terrifying. This is evidently the sound of the Demonic Puppet sawing the roots of the Divine Artifact tree, right?
But as dawn approached, the terrifying sound actually became more melodious?
Tata knew there was an instrument used for horror movie soundtracks called a "singing saw," and the sound was quite similar. So, this Demonic Puppet understands art?
He seized the chance to flatter: "Your Majesty, your music is so beautiful, you really are a great artist."
Indeed, the Demonic Puppet was pleased: "Seems like you can be of some use."
Tata became enthusiastic: "Your Majesty, I am very useful, please assign me a task, I serve you."
The Demonic Puppet paused: "Well, ordinary small matters don’t interest me. The big one, of course, is... to conquer the entire city, the return of the king!"
Tata seemed to notice that this Demonic Puppet’s intelligence was limited, or perhaps due to being underground for a long time and completely unfamiliar with the city, he just didn’t know what to do?
So he simply seized the opportunity to complete the revenge task assigned by Alpha: "Your Majesty, there’s a Crow Master in the city who isn’t a good person, he’s a barrier to your kingly return, maybe we should get rid of him."
The Demonic Puppet was stunned: "Why isn’t he a good person?"
Tata explained: "It’s speculated that he colluded with some bad nobles to let them sell land to farmers, make them reclaim it in the countryside, and when the land became fertile, he released a flock of crows to destroy the crops, forcing farmers to sell land cheaply."
The Demonic Puppet remarked: "That’s all?"
Tata laughed: "That’s right!"
"That’s not even bad."
Ah?
Tata continued, "It is said that his flock also spreads the Plague."
The Demonic Puppet was suddenly shocked: "Now that’s really bad!"
Tata became excited: "Your Majesty, should we take him out?"
The Demonic Puppet chuckled: "Are you stupid? If it’s so bad, of course, I’ll appreciate it, so I’ll give you a task, make him submit to the king! If he disagrees, then take him out!"
—System Tip: Decaying Divine Wood Evil Spirit Pinocchio gives you the task ’Recruit the Crow Master’.
Tata was bewildered: "What? But I don’t have enough strength!"
The Demonic Puppet said grumpily: "And you claim you’re useful?"
Tata bargained: "Then your Majesty, grant me some power, let the Crow Master feel your Majesty’s might?"
The Demonic Puppet sneered: "Go now!"
In the next moment, Tata felt a large flow of dark energy transmitted through the silk thread, enveloping his body and forming an Energy Shield, enhancing his attributes of full-body attack, defense, speed, and Physical Strength by almost half.
Tata was shocked and overjoyed: "Is this the power of your Majesty?"
The Demonic Puppet said in a deep voice: "This is nothing, I need to study more. I have decided, this place will be my palace, let that Crow come and see me!"
Tata asked: "Your Majesty, is your silk thread long enough?"
The Demonic Puppet laughed: "What do you think?"
Tata asked again: "If I teleport to another city, will your silk thread keep up with me?"
The Demonic Puppet sneered: "The farther you go, the tighter the thread pulls, you can try it."
Tata perspired: "I was just asking, now I’ll set off."
Tata wriggled back and forth, finally struggling out through a crevice, then returning to the sewer, and seeing those torches held up by other players.
They searched fruitlessly all night, patient like the rookie players in Black Iron City.
Tata directly dashed their hopes: "Stop searching, the Treasure Map is a scam."
The players were in an uproar: "Tata appeared!" "Is Tata telling the truth?" "But we heard sounds like ghosts!"
Tata didn’t bother to explain: "That was me using the Mining Pickaxe to clear a path, you all heard it wrong..."
Tata swiftly left the underground waterway, his running and waving motions unaffected, yet his hands and feet were being drawn by a bunch of invisible threads, and he couldn’t see the end of them, it felt like they came from the void. So this is the feeling of being controlled by threads...
...
Ten Lords Chat Group.
Gabriel got up early to his position: "Everyone, good morning?"
Uriel said sullenly: "When you wish me a good morning, it’s just because I haven’t slept at all. Right now, only Sela and I are online."
Sela yawned: "It’s not even 6 o’clock, so early."
Gabriel yawned as well: "Of course, to supervise Brother Chun taking his shot personally. How’s my treasure hunt at Oak City going?"
Sela laughed: "Just now, that Tata was in the sewer all night and appeared, claiming there’s no Treasure Map."
Gabriel laughed: "If he really found nothing, he’d love for others to keep searching. Only upon a true discovery would he deliberately say that, right?"
Speaking, Gabriel started checking the surveillance, marveling: "This City Flower is really diligent, up studying at 4 a.m."
Sela laughed: "Then why don’t you go reward her?"
Gabriel laughed: "Alright, before it’s 6, I’ll deliver a book to encourage her..."
