Chapter 353: Conflict

Led by Jinkela, Lin Chao arrived at a piece of fertile land on Iron Rock Mountain.

"The raw materials all come from here; they are very easy to obtain.

Moreover, I have discovered that not only here, but many mountains nearby have the same raw materials.

However, in this world, people rarely use fertilizer to fertilize crops."

Jinkela sighed with emotion.

Lin Chao knew that Jinkela was telling the truth.

In this world, gods exist.

If the wind is not favorable or the rain is not timely, one only needs to seek help from the gods.

If the crops are poor or the harvest is bad, believing in the gods might just bring a good harvest.

Humanity's high degree of reliance on the gods has led to the development of many things being restricted.

"You have done very well." Lin Chao looked at Jinkela, his voice gentle and kind, "This achievement of yours can save countless hungry Commoners; you are the true hero in their hearts.

This is the Agricultural Star Badge, and I am bestowing it upon you now."

In Lin Chao's hand, a badge appeared and landed in Jinkela's hand.

Jinkela took the badge; the badge was Gold, featuring black soil, green sprouts, and golden waves.

"Many thanks, Manager." Jinkela was very excited.

In the real world, due to the arrival of the Otherworld.

The jurisdiction of the entire world had fallen completely into the hands of the Special Zone.

And the high-level officials of the Special Zone were also completely submissive to the Otherworld.

The arrival of the Otherworld made class divisions more obvious; the high-level officials no longer bothered to pretend.

However, for those at the bottom, there were also many benefits.

For example, the former 996 "blessing" had changed to working four days and resting three.

As for the people from the Otherworld, the people at the bottom could not be said to dislike them.

Moreover, the Otherworld had a great influence on the Canghai World.

The level of technology had improved, ordinary people had no worries about food or clothing, and they were addicted to "pacifier" entertainment.

Of course, the Otherworld was not without its demands on the Canghai World.

However, regarding matters involving the high-level officials, Jinkela did not know much.

He only knew that the Otherworld's attention to the Canghai World seemed to be related to the no-man's land.

Lin Chao looked at Jinkela: "Are you willing to continue this great research and let this world radiate with the glory of agriculture?"

This world has an Agricultural Goddess, and the Agricultural Goddess's means of helping rice seedlings grow are nothing more than Divine Power.

The Priests of the Agricultural Church also know many spells for repelling insects.

"I... am willing!" Jinkela was very excited.

He came from a rural village, and it was only after seeing the poverty of the countryside that he thought of engaging in agriculture to repay his hometown.

As a result, the Otherworld descended, everything changed, and he had no place to put his skills to use.

"Good." Lin Chao nodded with satisfaction, "I hope to wait for your good news before long."

Returning from the village, the joy in Heiniu's eyes had not yet dissipated.

He told Xiaomeng about his breakthrough to a High-level Professional; although they could not understand each other's language, he was happy, and Xiaomeng's face also carried a smile.

This made Heiniu immerse himself in the river of love.

"Heiniu, you're here." Shengtian stood to the side, a heavy bag in his hand.

"Group Leader, you were looking for me?" Heiniu was somewhat puzzled.

"Do you still remember our conversation last time?

I have already raised the money to buy the Language Scroll; shall we go to the city to purchase it?" Shengtian lightly raised the bag in his hand, a look of triumph appearing on his face.

"So much money, Group Leader, how did you get it? You didn't discover a bug in the game, did you?" Heiniu was surprised; that was 20 Gold coins!

"You don't need to worry about how I did it; I just want to ask you, do you want to buy the Language Scroll, and do you want to learn the language of this world?" Shengtian's eyes held a smile.

Heiniu was stunned, then nodded vigorously.

"I do!"

"However, if I learn it, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet you in reality immediately; I want to go to the village and see Xiaomeng!"

Since he could not communicate with Xiaomeng due to the language barrier, Heiniu naturally hoped to be able to communicate with Xiaomeng as soon as possible.

"Good, no problem." Shengtian's voice was calm, but his heart was also very excited.

If Heiniu could really speak the words from the game in reality as well.

Then... the significance of many things would be different.

Shengtian and Heiniu then both rushed toward Koya City together.

Obtaining the Language Scroll was a matter of urgency.

Half a day later.

On Tieshi Mountain, Jin Jun stepped on the newly planted, peculiar grain seedlings, a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

"What bad luck, I hadn't even done anything yet, and I bumped into a tree and died."

His dissatisfaction and jealousy toward Heiniu had reached the Ultimate level.

He did not have the courage to challenge Heiniu, so he went to bully the NPC that Heiniu liked.

He considered himself better-looking than Heiniu and more clever in his methods, so he thought of stealing someone's love and watching Heiniu make a fool of himself.

So, he went to the village and cornered the young girl in a remote area; however, the young girl was cold and indifferent toward him, which made him very angry, so he directly forced himself upon her.

As a result, the young girl was very unyielding and would rather die than submit; before he even touched her, she slammed her head into a large tree and died instantly.

This made Jin Jun very annoyed, and his mood was completely ruined.

Of course, he also felt a sense of pleasure in his heart from taking revenge on Heiniu, only it wasn't as intense as he had expected.

Beside him, a thin male player spoke up: "Brother Jin, Heiniu will be back soon. What should you do?"

This male player knew exactly what Jin Jun had done.

Heiniu was currently the number one person among the players, possessing great strength and high prestige.

Offending such a person in this kind of game meant they wouldn't have an easy time.

"What is there to fear? Isn't it just a dead NPC?" Jin Jun said dismissively. "Besides, that girl slammed into the tree and died because she couldn't think straight; what does that have to do with me? Does Heiniu have proof? Just to come and cause me trouble?"

"What's more, this is a game. If he dares to cause me trouble in the game, I certainly won't let him off in reality!"

"Brother Jin is right." The man breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Jun had a powerful background in reality, so Heiniu was indeed helpless against him.

"The club recently got a few pretty girls. When we log off later, I'll take you to have some fun." Jin Jun put his arm around the man's shoulder.

"Alright."

The man was instantly excited, and his earlier worries vanished.

The two walked through the wheat field and returned to the camp.

The camp was currently quite empty.

This was mainly because the great battle had ended, and many players were still in their resurrection period, unable to enter the game.

As soon as Jin Jun returned to the camp, he heard a roar filled with fury.

"Jin Jun!"

A burly figure appeared, his eyes bloodshot, his face filled with sorrow.

If looks could kill, that gaze would have been enough to kill Jin Jun fifty times over.

"Heiniu... what's wrong?" Seeing Heiniu's appearance, Jin Jun felt a bit fearful and shrank his head back.

"Did you kill Xiaomeng?" Heiniu said, enunciating every word, his voice extremely loud, echoing throughout the entire camp.

There were no tears in his eyes; instead, they were very dry. In his eyes, the world had become somewhat blurry.

"What Xiaomeng? I don't know what you're talking about." Jin Jun hurriedly denied it.

Heiniu looked at Jin Jun without a word, instead walking toward him step by step.

The burly figure, accompanied by heavy footsteps, gave Jin Jun an intense sense of oppression.

This feeling of fear made Jin Jun feel very humiliated.

When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

However, realizing that this was a game world, his confidence returned.

"She... I didn't kill her; she slammed into the wall and died herself."

"Besides, even if I did kill her, so what? She's just an NPC."

"There are at least eight or ten thousand NPCs like that."

"No, Heiniu, your taste is too low. Even in the club, no customer would want to pick someone like that."

The fear on Jin Jun's face dissipated, replaced by a playful and mocking smile.

The conflict between the two also attracted the attention of other players in the camp.

"Did Jin Jun kill Xiaomeng?"

"Jin Jun has long found Heiniu an eyesore, sigh."

"Although this is a game, Jin Jun has gone too far."

Ye Di stood out at this moment: "Jin Jun, I'll f*** your father! You dare to hurt my brother's woman? From now on, every time I see you, I'll kill you!"

Ye Di had always been a loyal person and had a very good relationship with Heiniu.

Although he had always told Heiniu that Xiaomeng was just an NPC, Ye Di had always maintained respect for her.

"Oh, teaming up to bully me?"

"Ye Di, Heiniu, what do you think you are? Didn't you just enter the game earlier than me?"

"What are you acting all high and mighty for?"

"If I had been in the first batch to enter the game, would there even be a place for you?"

Jin Jun was dismissive, his attitude extremely arrogant.

"I killed Xiaomeng, so what?"

"Does our country's law also stipulate that you can't kill people in a game?"

"I just killed her. If she resurrects and spawns again, and I run into her, I'll kill her again!"

"If you have the ability, come and hit me! At worst, I just won't play this game anymore!"

Jin Jun's words were extremely disgusting.

Heiniu's face was full of rage.

Sorrow, anger, regret, and guilt accumulated to the extreme at this moment.

"Haha, I'm done talking to you guys, I'm logging off." Jin Jun said, laughing loudly, "I just love seeing you want to hit me but being unable to do anything about it—"

However, Jin Jun's smile froze at that moment.

He had underestimated the High-level Professional, and he had also underestimated Heiniu's strength.

Before he could finish his sentence, a massive fist landed on Jin Jun's body.

Boom!

Jin Jun's head exploded instantly, brains splattering everywhere.

His entire head was gone, and his body fell to the ground.

The lackey beside him was also implicated and killed instantly.

The two died and logged off immediately.

Having Slayed the two, Heiniu still could not bring himself to feel happy.

Xiaomeng, his Xiaomeng was dead.

Ye Di walked over and gripped Heiniu's hand: "Brother, it's okay, we can go find the Manager, perhaps..."

A glimmer of color finally appeared on Heiniu's pained face.

At this moment, in a villa in the Canghai World, a man hollowed out by wine and lust suddenly opened his eyes; he was Jin Jun.

"Damn it, daring to kill me in the game, Heiniu, you just wait."

He dialed a phone number.

"Brother Long, help me look into someone, he is..."

He had also joined the Improper Beast Tamer private group and knew Heiniu's contact information.

With this information, looking up someone's profile was very simple.

Heiniu offended him in the game, and he would take revenge in reality.

……

"Manager, Xiaomeng..." Heiniu's frame was burly, yet he looked very helpless at this moment.

"I am already aware of what happened to you.

However, you know that NPCs in the game cannot be refreshed," Lin Chao said with a calm gaze, his heart feeling rather complicated, "Moreover, even if one were forcibly refreshed, it would merely be an individual with the same attributes, like a clone in the real world; would they still be the person you want?"

For some reason, Lin Chao thought of Lin Moyu.

That man had spent his entire life doing everything just to resurrect his wife.

A look of despair appeared in Heiniu's eyes: "Is there really no other way?"

"There is a way, naturally, but... it is very, very difficult," Lin Chao sighed softly.

This world is different from the real world.

Within it, none of the living beings possess Spirituality in their bodies.

After a living being dies, there is no such thing as a Spirit River appearing to take their spirit away.

A look of excitement erupted in Heiniu's eyes: "What way? No matter how difficult, I will do it!"

"After a human dies, their soul has three destinations.

One, returning to the God Kingdom of the deity they worship.

Two, returning to the embrace of the God of Death.

Three, descending into the Abyss to become a Magic Insect.

Norma did not worship any deity, nor did she die a natural death, so after she died, it is highly likely she fell into the Abyss and became a Magic Insect."

Lin Chao said slowly.

He was speaking of reality.

However, the Abyss has over a thousand layers.

After a human dies, their soul falls into the Abyss and becomes the weakest Magic Insect; how difficult it is to find them.

Moreover, the Abyss is filled with demons everywhere, and there are also Abyss Lords, who are existences comparable to deities.

Therefore, for Heiniu to find that Magic Insect and bring her back is extremely arduous.

Lin Chao told Heiniu about the situation in the Abyss, and then he said.

"If you want to resurrect Norma, the first thing you must do... is to ascend to godhood.

Only a deity has a sliver of qualification to demand a Magic Insect back from the hands of an Abyss Lord."

"I will do it!" Heiniu clenched his fists so hard his nails pierced his flesh and blood flowed out, but he did not even notice.

"Alright, I have said what I needed to say, you should leave now," Lin Chao said softly.

Heiniu looked at Lin Chao, his gaze becoming profound, and suddenly, he asked Lin Chao: "Lord Manager... do you have the game's code?"

Lin Chao looked at Heiniu.

He saw that Heiniu's expression was somewhat uneasy, with sadness, guilt, and confusion all mixed together.

A smile appeared on Lin Chao's face: "The code creates the game world.

You live in reality, so what if you had the game's code?

Could it be... that you could bring the game into reality?

Or perhaps, are you willing to abandon reality and become a string of code in the game?"

Heiniu fell silent.

He took one look at Lin Chao, bid a solemn farewell, and then left.

"Reality... game... Xiaomeng... Norma..."

Heiniu clenched his fists.

No matter what, he would definitely resurrect Xiaomeng.

He thought for a moment and logged off.

He was going to see Shengtian.

He knew that Shengtian had a lot of influence.

Moreover, he had a vague guess about what Shengtian was planning to do.

Those things were very important to him.

Of course, there is one more thing, and that is... the Gold Army.

Is it enough... to just kill them once in the game?

In reality, he also wants to take revenge.

Just after logging off, Heiniu's phone rang.

"I am Shengtian, meet me at the Noah Hotel in two hours."

PS: It won't be angst-filled; I will give the positive characters a good ending.

PS: No angst; I will give the positive supporting characters a good ending.
