Originally, the Saintess would send back the latest progress of their mission to the Church every two weeks, but for the past three months, the Saintess’s fleet had lost contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their last communication, the Saintess said her next stop would be Brifer, and she mentioned that sea ghosts had appeared in the waters around Brifer, attacking many merchant ships. She believed heretics must be plotting something around the trade route and intended to investigate the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Church had sent three groups to investigate one after another, but none found any clues, so they wanted to ask Professor Ebet to investigate in secret and search for the Saintess’s trail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hidden Side Quest: Find the missing Saintess or recover the Holy Stigma. There is no penalty for quest failure. Do you accept the quest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, it seems there is more than one important person missing on the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accept!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there was no penalty for failure, why wouldn't he accept? At the bottom of the envelope lay a crystal necklace, with a pure white crystal pendant hanging from the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Item Name: Blessing of the Great Mother\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Item Type: Special\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Item Description: A pendant blessed by the Great Mother, capable of protecting the Saintess through danger. It is a coming-of-age gift bestowed upon the Saintess by the gods. The crystal pendant will react when near the Saintess or the Holy Stigma.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang put the necklace around his neck and found that his own attributes had not changed at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared to be an exclusive item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting the pendant into his personal storage, he began to examine the clippings made by the previous postman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clippings collected a great deal of information about Brifer Island, including the past and present of the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hundred years ago, Brifer Island was still a desert island with a harsh environment, sparsely populated, and filled with snakes, insects, and wild beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, the Ogre Kingdom would ship serious criminals and pirates who were supposed to be executed to this place, leaving them to fend for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, it was also called Black Prison Island back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until twenty years ago, when the first steamship was invented, that Count Germain realized that maritime routes would be the future of the kingdom. When he was rewarded by the King for hunting down heretics, he chose this island as his fief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Count Germain valued Black Prison Island highly, bringing three full ship-loads of belongings when he arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brought new populations to the island, as well as churches, schools, hospitals, and civilization and morality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He renamed Black Prison Island to Brifer, meaning a place of peace and prosperity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Germain was a famous iron-fisted Count and a well-known control freak in the kingdom, claiming there was nothing he could not tame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the natives who had the blood of serious criminals flowing in their veins, it took him only three years to make them master literacy and understand morality, successfully integrating them from a semi-savage state into civilized society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the cost, it was merely reducing the native population from over five thousand to nine hundred and twenty-five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to civilization and progress, it was not worth mentioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tamed natives formed new families with the slaves Germain brought, multiplied, and gradually created the Brifer Island of today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two months ago, Count Germain suddenly disappeared with his family and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The town residents organized several searches, but none found any trace of Count Germain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang closed the clippings, feeling a strong sense of déjà vu regarding the background of this dungeon plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the town residents all looked burly and unusually strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out they were all descendants of serious criminals and pirates, standard old white men with bloodlines as pure as could be—truly authentic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The history of Brifer Island also explained why the townspeople were so dogmatic about their work and so hostile toward those who broke the town's rules or did not take their work seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because that was how they had been tamed by Count Germain in the first place. Five thousand slaughtered down to nine hundred and twenty—that sense of restraint had to be engraved in their DNA.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting away the clippings, Wu Chang looked through the letters in his bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One letter caught his attention; unlike the other recipients, the recipient of this letter was named Tony Stark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clearly a name chosen by a player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the envelope, the handwriting on the letter was the same as the notes on the clippings—all written by the previous postman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous postman and the recipient, Tony Stark, seemed to be exchanging information by mailing letters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content of the letter only contained the intelligence collected by the previous postman on his last day; each paragraph was short but contained very dense information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guessed right. Violating the town's rules indeed makes one a priority target for the Inner World, and it is indeed possible to enter the corresponding Inner World area by breaking specific rules. The Inner World I entered tonight was still that same pier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The information revealed in just the first paragraph exceeded Wu Chang's expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this information was true, it meant that Brifer Town had a so-called Inner World, and every night, it would randomly suck players into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the Inner World was divided into different areas, and if one did not intentionally control it, one would enter a random area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But consciously breaking a certain rule would lead to a fixed Inner World area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By refusing to work, the previous postman had entered a certain pier in the Inner World repeatedly; if nothing went wrong, that was the pier where he was executed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang sorted out the intelligence in the first paragraph and continued reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is bad news, and there is good news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The bad news is that our deduction was correct. I'm afraid this dungeon has been tampered with; even without players dying, it is constantly self-polluting. The increase in pollution levels will simultaneously increase the danger in the Inner World. Tonight, I encountered monsters I hadn't seen before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The good news is that the monsters I encountered were a group of fish-men, and I can be certain that what we are looking for is definitely related to these fish-men!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those fish-men were easy to kill. I tried eating their meat; the fat content is very high, like the fatty tuna belly, just a bit fishier. It's a real pity I didn't have any wasabi with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang read these two pieces of news over and over again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from the information on the paper, his predecessor and the team his predecessor belonged to were a group of veteran players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their purpose for entering the dungeon was very clear: to find something, and this thing was related to the fish-men, or rather, related to the monsters in the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could not only choose which dungeon to enter and vaguely know the items dropped in the dungeon, but they also knew that dungeons could be tampered with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tampered dungeon would self-pollute even if no players died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang had never even heard of these high-level intelligence snippets, not even as baseless conspiracy theories on the forums; they were definitely information blocked by default among high-level factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a dungeon targeted by a major organization was cleared, they would never easily let other players enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, for a dungeon that had been tampered with like this, the Bureau only classified it as a special attention list and did not immediately send anyone to clear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indicated that the team the previous postman belonged to not only failed to clear the dungeon but likely suffered a major disaster, to the point where this key intelligence could not be passed on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For players like Ling Hu, the news before her would be enough to cause her hard-won recovered spirit to sink again, or even lead to a mental breakdown under the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Wu Chang, this feeling was actually just right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Abyss Game arranged a dungeon for him without some \"hardcore\" content, he would actually feel uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the last paragraph of the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suspect those fish-men are the monsters attacking the merchant ships. I tried to ask the Sheriff, but because I've been on strike lately, all that woman responded with was a middle finger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll leave this problem to Logan. I overheard the Mayor talking today, saying that because Logan works hard, he is to be added to the Town Council and will become a true town resident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will continue to strike tomorrow.
