Chapter 245: Unsolvable Skills

"You are all bullying me, I'm going to tell the Village Chief."

"I want to represent the moon and eliminate you all."

"The Pirate King, I will definitely become it."

"Qiao Zhi, let's put on clothes and pretend to be Mommy and Daddy..."

"Darn Xi Yangyang, I will definitely return."

"Guess how many candies I have; if you guess right, I'll give them all to you."

Occasionally a young boy's voice, occasionally a young girl's voice, an uninterrupted Provocation.

No one was conversing with Lin Bai; he was basically saying whatever came to mind.

The childish voice was emitted from the television, giving a sense of innocence and childlike fun, but echoing in the middle of the mountain forest, it was completely incongruous; the previous sentence and the next sentence were not connected, and with no figure in sight, it gave off the feeling of a ghost in an empty valley.

Especially since there was a group of crazed women in the sky, their eyes red, shouting to kill...

"The people of Illusion Valley have gone mad. To avoid Lin Bai, they abandoned their homes and businesses. After finally running so far away, they suddenly turned back to kill with such fierce expressions?"

"Clearly, they are not in control of themselves, and they have already lost their basic judgment."

"Don't forget, there is a spell in this world called Charm."

"I know damn well I can't beat Lin Bai, but I just want to go over and kill him; I can't control it at all." The moment 【Most Loved Fairy】 regained her reason, she glanced at the floating barrage and replied in the spare time, "Great gods outside, hurry and help think of a way; the situation is too bizarre."

"It even affects players; that's absurd."

"Your body in the game is provided by the Game Company. It's normal for the company to temporarily revoke your usage rights to your body, right! Just like a cutscene, you can't control your character either!"

"But this claims to be one hundred percent realistic..."

"There's no such thing as one hundred percent realistic; it's just exaggerated advertising!"

"No, according to what 【Most Loved Fairy】 said, the Skill directly affects his thoughts. He himself developed hostility toward Lin Bai, and that is not normal. I remembered the post by Gugao Laoren; Lin Bai's Skill can affect the Real World..."

"Hypnosis, perhaps!"

"Using Hypnosis on players inside the game is also a bit hard to justify."

"Find a player and force them to log off to test it."

"I logged off. After logging off, I wasn't affected by anything; there were no side effects."

"It only affects the characters inside the game, so it doesn't matter. Play when you should play, have fun when you should have fun; it's harmless. It's just that the Game Company can't directly harm a player's body. The fact that the Skill is universal to both players and NPCs is what makes it one hundred percent realistic; it's a conscientious game enterprise..."

"You scared me. As long as it doesn't affect offline, it's fine. A unique experience is even more interesting."

"The Skill won't affect reality, but with such a powerful Skill from Lin Bai, is it still possible for players to take him down?"

"The distance is too exaggerated. Lin Bai is still livestreaming. How did he do it? Even the Great Vehicle Realm hasn't shown such exaggerated supernatural powers!"

"You haven't even seen a Great Vehicle Realm expert make a move, so how do you know what the Great Vehicle Realm is like?"

"Nonsense, if the Great Vehicle Realm were as powerful as Lin Bai, they wouldn't need to travel slowly. A single Teleportation would have come over and wiped him out. From this, it can be inferred that the Great Vehicle Realm can't beat Lin Bai."

"If we follow the definition of immortals and gods in our world's legends—moving mountains and overturning seas, regenerating from a drop of blood, having thousands of clones, knowing five thousand years into the past and five thousand years into the future—that would be normal. Lin Bai's performance can only be considered child's play."

"There are no legends about immortals in the game. After ascending, there is no more news. I guess the Immortal World map will only open once players ascend."

"Stop talking about immortals. I don't think it's possible to have such an overbearing Skill in the early stages of the game. Charming so many people from such a distance—who else can beat Lin Bai? Might as well just wash up and crown Lin Bai as the common ruler of the world."

"Clones, perhaps! Lin Bai said that if you can't kill him in one go, he will revive infinitely. So, it's not strange that he knows the Clone Technique."

"Lin Bai's livestream look is a bit strange. His hair covers his eyes, a silk handkerchief covers his mouth, and his sleeve covers his left hand. Combining this with Lin Bai's Skill, I can conclude that these three organs of his are not on his body, and the one causing trouble should be these three organs of his."

"Holy crap, they can be this far away from his body?"

"To fight Lin Bai, do we have to fight his body parts first? Absurd."

"It's too terrifying. If Lin Bai wanted to, he could even make someone pregnant from ten thousand miles away. Jiang Qingqin is too happy..."

"The person above has gone off-topic."

"If only there were such an ability in reality; one could be in the classroom, and a clone could go find a girlfriend to have fun."

"Take out Lin Bai's three organs, and you will be able to regain control of your bodies."

"You all should just accept your fate. Lin Bai's left hand is following along to take action. That is to say, he didn't use Lightning Storm; otherwise, none of you would survive."

"Lin Bai's lines are so chuunibyou. Who is Peppa? Who is GG Bond?"

"The Righteous Gate is becoming more and more ethereal..."

"I can't find Lin Bai's three organs in my field of vision at all."

"The target is so small, it would be strange if you could find it."

The players' discussions were strange and varied, and in the end, the topic inevitably headed in an unknown direction.

After all.

Most people didn't have the qualifications to enter the game, and they couldn't enter the game to interact with Lin Bai, so they just watched for fun.

Those who truly wanted to take down Lin Bai had long since extinguished the thought of discussing methods in the barrage and were concentrating on grinding levels to improve their own strength. Only when one is strong do they have the qualifications to arm-wrestle with Lin Bai; satisfying one's cravings in the barrage is meaningless.

【Gugao Laoren】 changed to a new account called 【Low Profile】, without notifying anyone. Being cautious, he didn't enter the game directly but wanted to enter along with the fifth batch of players; this way, the concealment would be higher.

He didn't hate Lin Bai. Lin Bai was a character in the game with his own stance; it was perfectly normal for him not to care about him.

But the grudge of 【Lao Mi】 had to be avenged; he couldn't swallow this insult.

【Gugao Laoren】 looked at the messy barrage on 【Most Loved Fairy】's livestream screen and sneered repeatedly: "A bunch of idiots, they still haven't realized that Lin Bai doesn't belong to the game world. The officials have absolutely no way to control Lin Bai; they deserve to be played in the palm of Lin Bai's hand. One day, when Lin Bai invades reality, you'll have fun..."

The most painful ones were the people of Illusion Valley.

At the beginning, they weren't used to it. Once provoked by Lin Bai, their anger flared up, and they all rushed to kill Lin Bai.

But there were intervals between Lin Bai's words. In the gaps of the intervals, the hostility would recede from their hearts, and reason would return.

And then.

Fear began to occupy their hearts.

After the initial impulse passed, everyone adapted to their bodies being dominated by hostility, and gradually, no one was shouting to kill Lin Bai anymore.

However, their hearts were still filled with hostility toward Lin Bai.

But within that hostility, fear began to gain the upper hand.

Their thoughts gradually returned.

Hostility influenced their thinking and dominated their actions, yet it did not affect their ability to reason...

That contradictory psychology of "I am afraid, but I still must go and screw you" made the people of Illusion Valley increasingly terrified.

"Valley Master, what should we do? We aren't going to kill Lin Bai; we are going to our deaths..."

"What can I do? I cannot control my own killing intent at all, I cannot even control my own body. I suspect that once I reach Lin Bai, I will involuntarily attack him." Qi Lan trembled all over.

"Fairy Luo, it is Lin Bai's mouth and eyes that are luring us forward. If we finish off his mouth, we can return to normal." 【Most Beloved Fairy】 shouted in a rush.

In normal times, he might have stopped resisting, but under the influence of Provocation, the only judgment he could make was to eliminate everything about Lin Bai as much as possible.

Luo Xue had the highest cultivation and charged at the very front; she knew that charging over was suicide.

She wanted to stop, but she also could not restrain the hostility in her heart. Her fear of Lin Bai had already reached its peak, and only then did she realize that she and Lin Bai were not even on the same level as opponents...

She heard the shouting from behind and used all her eyesight to try and find Lin Bai's mouth in the surroundings, but in the vast mountain forest, she could see nothing at all.

One mouth, one eye, one hand—compared to the vast mountain forest, they were too insignificant.

She urged the Flower Chain in her hand, and thousands of petals formed from Spirit Qi flew out from the Flower Chain, blasting the forest in front of her until it collapsed in patches, attempting to hit the invisible Lin Bai through area-of-effect attacks, but it was to no avail; the voice still desperately drilled into her ears...

"Lin Bai, you despicable and shameless villain, you always use such low-class tricks; why don't you dare to have a fair and square duel?" Luo Xue's eyes were red as she shrieked hysterically.

Because of fear, her voice trembled, and tears slid down her cheeks involuntarily. Her elegant image was completely destroyed, and she waved the Flower Chain wildly, looking just like a madwoman.

At the same time.

The Justice Alliance Army, which had been traveling leisurely, suddenly accelerated, heading toward the members of Illusion Valley who had been attracted by Lin Bai.

The Beggar Sect disciples reported the situation in Illusion Valley to the NPCs beside them truthfully, speaking with great excitement.

The sect leader members of the Justice Alliance Army had mixed feelings in their hearts. They looked at Lin Bai, who was still pretending to be a child and acting cute, and all fell into silence.

With this kind of behavior, no one would believe him if he said he wasn't a demonic entity!

However.

Infinite confidence erupted in their hearts; it was far better for others to suffer than for them to suffer.

They saw hope in Lin Bai.

Lin Bai, meanwhile, was silently calculating the time for the Great Language System role-playing switch.

He found that his worries were purely redundant; with his current strength, that group of fellows from Illusion Valley couldn't even catch up to him, let alone cause him any harm.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to incorporate the people of Illusion Valley into the Justice Alliance, he could have completely wiped out Illusion Valley without any effort at all, relying on his three organs.

It turned out that, unknowingly, his strength had already become this powerful.

Almost all the natives were monitoring the movements of the Justice Alliance through the players.

Previously, Lin Bai had slowed his pace of attack and started acting like a young child, practicing "words follow the law," and many natives mocked him for reaching a dead end.

Who would have thought that the winds and clouds would change so suddenly.

Lin Bai's mouth and hand flew out to fight on their own, and by relying on gibberish, he was actually able to Charm an entire sect of people and incite their emotions...

Upon hearing this news, the natives were all stunned for a moment, and then, as if they had been stepped on their tails, they popped out the same words: "Impossible!"

But soon, they realized that there was nothing impossible.

Up until now, nothing Lin Bai had done had been within their expectations.

Also on a Sword Boat of the Tianlong Sword Sect wandering outside.

The Law Enforcement Elder looked at their sect leader and asked blankly: "Are we still running?"

The Tianlong Sword Sect leader looked like a dying old man; he turned his stiff neck to look at the disciples within the sect, and after a long while, he let out a breath: "Run my ass. Pack up and return to the sect. Wait for Lin Bai to come and surrender the whole sect. Such a figure is simply not someone we can deal with. Anyway, the people above said that if we surrender, we will be forgiven."

"What about Lin Bai's public disclosure of the secret manuals?" the Precepts Elder asked.

"We'll talk about that then!" the sect leader sighed heavily. "The Seven Righteous Sects still reason with you, but the Justice Alliance doesn't reason with you at all!"

He paused for a moment and said wistfully: "I don't know why, but I am actually not optimistic about the Seven Righteous Sects. Such a monstrous divine ability of Lin Bai's, I fear even the Great Vehicle Stage cannot achieve it."

Everyone was silent.

A moment later.

The Tianlong Sword Sect leader seemed to remember something and exhorted the crowd: "Forget what was just said; do not let it reach the ears of the Heavenly Sword Sect."

It was not just the Tianlong Sword Sect.

Lianbao Pavilion, Fengling Temple, and other sects similar to Illusion Valley all made the same decision: return to the sect and surrender directly when Lin Bai arrives.

That's right.

Facing the unsolvable Lin Bai, everyone chose to lie flat.

The Great Vehicle Stage teams sent by the Seven Righteous Sects and the Demonic Five Sects to eliminate Lin Bai also received the latest news.

Heavenly Sword Sect.

The Purple-Clothed Ancestor was silent for a long time: "Small tricks. His cultivation might be higher than the Spirit Transformation realm, but he can only bully those small sects. One eye, one hand, one mouth—evil techniques. If he dares to come before this old man to Provoke, this old man will naturally destroy him with one Sword."

"The Ancestor is mighty." A Sword Immortal of the Void Refinement Realm nearby said disdainfully, "There is no need for the Ancestor to act; we disciples can destroy it. Let him jump around for a few more days."

"Do not lower your guard," the Purple-Clothed Ancestor said. "He is so fearless, he must have something to rely on. We must be wary of the protectors behind him in the Justice Sect."

"As the Patriarch commands," said the Disciple at his side.

"Disciple, go find a few copies of *Justice Weekly*," the purple-robed Patriarch raised his eyes to look at the young attendant beside him. "Lin Bai's divine abilities are strange, and his Fazhe Zhidao may have some merits. You all might as well study them; know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles..."

Beast Taming Sect.

On the back of a Flying Dragon hundreds of meters long, a middle-aged man resembling a peasant farmer stood against the wind, surrounded by hundreds of Disciples wearing Beast Taming Sect attire, making it difficult to distinguish whether they were Demon Beasts or humans.

A dozen or so players sat on the back of the Flying Dragon, each cradling a Demon Beast Egg, whispering in private chats while channeling Spiritual Power into them, occasionally tossing a Spirit Pill into their own mouths to replenish the consumed Spiritual Power; they were all in high spirits, their expressions vastly different from those of the Disciples of the subordinate sects.

After all.

By a stroke of luck, they had entered the Beast Taming Sect; although they spent most of their time acting as news mouthpieces, it was equivalent to a meteoric rise, and their treatment was far beyond what could be compared to those in lower-tier sects.

In just a few days' time, the dozen or so players had already attained the cultivation of the Golden Core, and now, as long as they hatched their Demon Beasts, they could potentially break through to the Nascent Soul by borrowing the power of the Demon Beasts.

Moreover.

The Demon Beasts hatched by their Spiritual Power would be Heart-to-Heart with them from birth, and what form they took upon Form Manifestation would be entirely up to them...

It was highly likely that the first batch of Beast-Ear Girls in the game would be born from their hands.

"Elder Qiu, this move by Lin Bai is nothing but inviting disaster upon himself. Should we speed up and take down Lin Bai before the others?" an old man with a tiger pattern embroidered on his chest said in a deep voice. "The Transformation Pill Recipe in Lin Bai's hands concerns the future of our Beast Taming Sect; if it falls into the hands of others, the future of the Beast Taming Sect will be in peril."

"No need to rush," Elder Qiu's gaze was profound. "Slow down and let them make contact with Lin Bai first. Lin Bai's actions are a show of force toward us; he might be hiding some trump cards. We shall decide after seeing his next performance. It is not just our Beast Taming Sect; apart from the Heavenly Sword Sect, Heavenly Dao Sect, and Shengji Sect, other sects may not necessarily want Lin Bai dead. He possesses too many things unknown to us, and his value alive is far greater than dead."
