Chapter 98: Non-Deletion

As expected, the nobles can hoard grain for another year; they will not care whether the commoners starve to death.

The Wealth Church is now spending a large sum of money to purchase grain; once the grain supply is cut off, the only consequence will be leaving the Wisdom Church to find a way.

"In two days, those new Believers will return, and at that time, they will come to you to move some grain. The number of people is about 800," Chen Zhi reminded, "At the very least, do not let our own people go hungry; of course, they will also find ways to fill their own stomachs."

"If there is a need, I can purchase some grain; nowadays, importing grain from outside might be cheaper than purchasing it from Tana City."

"Nobles can exchange Tana for Xide, right?"

"No problem, if there is a need, we can exchange at any time," Saina reminded.

"That is good, you can go back; I think your father should also want to know the news from the Royal Capital."

"I will strictly follow your holy decree." Saina did not expect the Lord of Calamity to be so rational; if it were the usual Lord of Calamity, he would at least try to take advantage of this opportunity to do something to spread Calamity to the entire Tana City.

And now is the perfect opportunity.

But the Lord of Calamity is surprisingly so composed; does he not need to spread Calamity to stabilize his divinity?

Why does he seem not anxious at all...

Could it really be because those new Believers have some other tasks?

Looking at the "corpses" of new Believers everywhere in the Sewers, if the number of people really increases at this rate, Tana City will soon practically become a city belonging to the Lord of Calamity.

That is, provided there are really so many new Believers summoned by the Lord of Calamity.

……

The official side has already announced the lottery results and has already distributed the Helmets that met the library event requirements recently.

The players are already impatient to see the new closed beta; according to the official statement, this closed beta will adopt a non-deletion method.

In other words, there will never be a situation where one cannot play the game for two weeks again.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Luoye Zhixiu watched his grandfather put on the Helmet and lie on the bed.

He also wanted to struggle a bit, but the Helmet was provided by his grandfather, and his grandfather also promised him that he would soon translate another few hundred thousand words for him, guaranteeing that he could get his own Helmet.

He could only browse the forum while looking forward to his grandfather getting him a Helmet as soon as possible.

Fortunately, this event is long-term; with his grandfather's ability, two weeks, just two weeks, should not be a problem.

Ye Shengzu, who had entered the game, rubbed his eyes; ever since he developed presbyopia, he had not seen things this clearly for a long time.

The last physical examination even said he had cataracts, but because it was not very serious, he did not go for any surgery.

It was just that the impact on his vision was not trivial.

Only after truly experiencing what excellent vision is did he realize that his eyes indeed needed surgery.

He touched the surrounding walls; there was an unpleasant smell in the air, but overall it was acceptable.

Following his awakening, many people around him also stood up; only then did he realize that he was in the Sewers.

The players who stood up were curious about everything—the air, their bodies, and some even intended to take off their clothes to take a look.

Fortunately, everyone here was male, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

"Damn, this game is actually this real, my god!"

"An epoch-making game, it really is an epoch-making game!"

"Where is the screenshot key? Let me see, let me see, I have to walk around; it would be unreasonable if this game didn't get a headline." The person saying this had the ID 'Huiwan Entertainment' above his head; this person was muttering and touching things everywhere, as if worshipping something.

Other players were different; in short, everyone seemed crazy, not much like humans.

The old man subconsciously pushed his glasses, then realized there was no such bothersome thing on the bridge of his nose, and only then saw an NPC of short stature walking over.

Heinke did not want to come into contact with these so-called new Believers; in his view, these guys were all molded by the Lord of Calamity, and who knew what evil spirits they were summoned from.

Although he himself was not that clean either, he really wanted to stay as far away from these evil spirits as possible.

But now the Lord of Calamity had an order, and he had to follow His will.

"Ahem, everyone, be quiet." Heinke cleared his throat; because he was in the Sewers, his voice was amplified a lot, and the new players immediately quieted down.

"You are all new Believers who have been summoned; I think you should have heard about your mission before you came. You are Believers of Calamity and also the vital force to save this world." Heinke recited his lines, "I need to remind you of one thing: you are still just newcomers and need to undergo training. Each of you has a booklet in your hand, on which are written the entry-level tasks you can choose. After completing the entry-level tasks, you can, like those veterans, choose your profession. But the premise is that you must complete the newcomer tasks. Tana City is not peaceful right now; you had better behave yourselves!"

Heinke's acting was not very good; he felt that talking to these new Believers like this was really a bit thankless.

So he spoke a bit stutteringly, afraid of offending these people.

Fortunately, the players did not care about this and instead thought this guy was a stutterer.

Upon hearing that there was a task manual in their hands, everyone started rummaging through their bodies.

Of course, there were also those who had already finished rummaging and had already decided what task they wanted to do.

"You can go out from the corresponding Sewer exits according to your own choices. Remember, you have one and only one chance to choose, and once you enter Tana City, you must abide by the laws of Tana City, otherwise you will have a hard time." Heinke urged, then left instantly. He had Illusion, and escaping could be said to be a very easy thing; this time he used it on these new Believers without hesitation.

After all, he himself was captured by these new Believers, and he absolutely could not be beaten a second time.

Seeing Heinke disappear instantly, the players made 'ooh' sounds, and after chatting in groups of three or five, they chose the path they wanted to take.

Ye Shengzu also opened the notebook, wanting to see what tasks he should do, and then saw two young people approaching him.

"Professor Ye, is that you?" one of them asked humbly.

"I thought that if I changed my image, you wouldn't recognize me." Ye Shengzu raised his hand again, then realized once more that there were no glasses in the game.
