This triggered a mission?

Li Ang furrowed his brow. After carefully reading the mission briefing, he immediately went into the bedroom and opened the player forum on his computer.

Seeing Li Ang's hurried appearance, Miss Chai floated out and curiously asked, "What's up? Is there a mission?"

"Mm-hm."

Li Ang sat at the computer desk and casually explained the mission brief to Miss Chai. He then refreshed the forum page, quickly scrolling down.

Sure enough, within a very short time, the forum was updated with a large number of posts related to the King of Shengnan. Players who had heard the mission announcement were eagerly discussing it. Players who hadn't received the mission were also quickly informed of this urban legend through others' explanations. Soon, they too began posting on the forums, claiming that when they saw information related to the King of Shengnan, they also heard the Killing Field Game System's tardy mission brief.

In other words, this routine mission wasn't restricted by a time limit for acceptance. As long as you actively came into contact with the urban legend of the King of Shengnan within five hours before the mission started, you could trigger the "Dream of Shengnan" mission.

This was the first time a mission had been released in a way that could spread as widely as a Meme. It immediately prompted a heated discussion among all players. In no time, related threads completely flooded the forum page.

Li Ang said, resting his chin in one hand while scrolling the mouse wheel with the other, "This mission's description is quite interesting. The mission scenario is set in a dream world based on an artificially created urban legend, where all players who choose to accept the mission will enter at the same time. According to the setting, 'players can earn rewards by resolving anomalous events,' it's very likely that players will be dispersed to different locations. Furthermore, within the Shengnan King's Dream, there will inevitably be a host of anomalous phenomena."

Miss Chai, floating beside him with her hands behind her back, bent over to look at the computer screen with Li Ang. "Being sent to different locations is to prevent players from teaming up, right? Especially for large covert organizations like the Special Affairs Bureau, it would be easy for them to assemble a raid team of hundreds of powerful players, who could then have free rein throughout the entire instance."

"Mm-hm." Li Ang nodded. "The Special Affairs Bureau has deep resources. If they could be sent in en masse, then other Lone Wolf Players might as well not play. The Killing Field Game probably wouldn't leave this kind of loophole."

"As for the Shengnan King's Dream being filled with a variety of anomalous events..." Miss Chai furrowed her brow. "Can an artificially created urban legend character also possess a dream realm?"

"Who knows?" Li Ang shook his head. "According to some Mysterious Studies Texts, the more people who pass on a story, the more likely it is to become true. Telekinesis, the Power of Faith—at their core, they might just be the same thing. Aren't those Deities who are no longer worshipped doomed to fall and perish because no one believes in them anymore?"

"Hmm..." Chai Cuiqiao blinked. "Are you saying that the King of Shengnan is aiming for God Status? Like that reindeer before?" She suddenly recalled something. "Right, in the Fairy World, didn't Elsa gather the Power of Faith from all over the Rune Kingdom through the church? If the essence of the King of Shengnan's power is really the Power of Faith, maybe we could fleece him..."

"You mean, use Elsa's Ritual Track to collect the Power of Faith in the dream?" Li Ang chuckled. "It's not that simple. Just like you can't directly spend U.S. Banknotes grabbed from a bank vault. The Power of Faith also has attributes. Different types of Power of Faith cannot coexist. What I currently possess is the Divine Mark of the Swamp God. Even if I had a Ritual Track that absorbs faith, I could only collect Power of Faith from my own believers."

"Eh..." Chai Cuiqiao sighed in disappointment. "I was hoping you'd achieve Divine Enthronement soon and give me a position as a Lady Saint."

"Divine Enthronement would lead to the erosion of your God Status and gradually make you lose your own consciousness, you know. Are you wishing for my death?" Li Ang rolled his eyes and gave Miss Chai a light chop with his hand. "Besides, even if I gave you the position of Lady Saint, what could you do? All you do is eat and sleep. When you finally wake up, it's just playing video games and browsing videos. If ghouls could get fat, you'd have turned into a tank by now! We can't even rely on you to attract believers by acting cute."

"Hmph! I am useful, okay?!" Chai Cuiqiao protested. "Any leftover food at home, just leave it to me! I'll handle it easily! Plus, in the summer, I can be an ice-silk pillow. And in the winter, I could have some hot water poured into my belly and serve as a hand warmer."

SMACK! SMACK!

Li Ang unhesitatingly delivered two more light chops; this topic really irritated him.

One day, after reading who knows what online, Miss Chai fancied becoming a warm-bed maid for once. Because the Qinge Armor felt cold to the touch, she vigorously filled her belly with lukewarm water (as everything eaten by the Qinge Armor was stored in her belly, eventually ground into a dry powder). In the middle of the night, she snuck onto the bed in the bedroom and lifted Li Ang's blanket. However, perhaps because she had drunk too much lukewarm water, before she could even start her "warm-bed maid plan," she suddenly vomited out the clear water and the mushy snacks she'd eaten for dinner, creating quite a chaotic scene.

In the end, she was punished by having to wash the sheets and duvet cover all night, and her snack allowance was drastically reduced for the next few days.

Chai Cuiqiao, who had received a chop from Li Ang, covered her head, stuck out her tongue, and tried to look mischievously cute, while Li Ang's gaze still lingered on the forum thread.

"Players can harm each other, but killing yields no rewards. This also means that although players will be teleported to different locations, they can still encounter each other."

Perhaps I'll run into some acquaintances...
