Chapter 197: There is Another Middleman in the World Who Should be Hung on a Street Lamp

Hearing Thor say that sentence, Frank became nervous immediately. It really was the Dark Souls world that the Ancient One took them to.

Thor wouldn't be fooled by that bonfire and treat himself as kindling!

If Odin knew about this, wouldn't he grab his weapon and come over to reason? Even if Odin didn't come, his brother Loki wouldn't just watch. Looking at it, the relationship between the brothers was still okay.

"Don't be nervous, listen to me tell you slowly." Thor pulled Frank and continued.

The matter had to start from that boxing club. Thor didn't even have a boxing coach certificate, but he could still mix into it as an intern coach because more and more people had spent a lot of money to join the boxing club recently.

The boss couldn't recruit suitable coaches, and it just so happened that Thor had beaten up their coach when he was repairing cars before. In this way, he was recruited to substitute for a while.

In the boxing club, Thor was still quite popular because the things he taught were serious and useful, and Thor was proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts.

Anyway, he had been fighting wars with Asgard's army for so many years. Before Thor's Hammer was given to him by Odin, he used whatever weapons he had, and he used them quite well.

Later, after a few days, club members asked him mysteriously if he wanted to link the fire. As long as he passed the newbie trial, he would be given 10,000 US dollars, and equipment would be provided for free.

"At that time, I was still too naive. The deal was done at a loss. Inviting a newcomer to pass the newbie trial can get 100 units of souls. According to the average price, it's higher than 20,000 US dollars." Thor patted his thigh with a regretful expression.

"Wait, you haven't specifically said the situation of this game." Frank was a bit anxious.

"Don't be anxious. The developer of this game has the ID 'Dark Souls' and is a person in the Emotional Deep Web. I heard people say that this person should have a big force supporting him behind. It constructs a magical and desperate world in the Emotional Deep Web through exchange, and after logging into the game and passing through a private room, you can appear in that world and become a wretch."

Thor said, opening some documents. These were all the materials he had collected. "Although I don't know what the purpose of building this world is, multiple Deep Web players have verified it through various means. Its harmfulness is not high. The souls collected in that world, a kind of currency in that world, can be used to strengthen the body and even obtain some magic, so it is also sought after."

"The price? What is the price?"

"The price is that every time you die in that world, an emotional suppression state will appear for a period of time, which is the kind where everything you do is meaningless. However, I haven't encountered it because my character hasn't died. But that state generally recovers in a few days, and Joy Potion can also be used to speed up the recovery speed. However, it is said that continuous death will lead to heavier death penalties, but this game has just come out, so how heavy it is, not many people have tried it yet."

"What kind of people are the players generally?"

"Many are users of the Emotional Deep Web, as well as their relatives and friends, and some experts in boxing and weapon fighting who were invited later, such as me."

"How are souls generally obtained?"

"Kill or knock down the monsters inside, and then bring them to the bonfire at the resurrection point and throw them in; they will provide souls according to their value. The number of souls obtained by burning monsters that have been knocked down once will plummet, so many people are hiring bodyguards and looking for teammates to go to farther places."

Frank rubbed his temples. Listening to it, this Dark Souls game was more like the world consciousness of Dark Souls finding a bunch of workers to provide kindling and paying a portion of wages as a reward.

Moreover, Frank had a premonition that maybe the emotional problems of those whose characters had died once were that a portion of their humanity had been taken away by the Dark Souls world. However, so many people had confirmed it through various channels, so the degree of humanity loss should be relatively light and shouldn't have any influence.

"So, do you want to come?" Thor looked at Frank and asked. "The recommendation fee for newcomers, I don't want a single bit, all returned to you. I just want to find a reliable teammate to go to a farther place to see."

"We'll see. You seem quite adapted to that place?" Frank looked at Thor and asked.

"It's okay. The combat intensity is relatively low, and it can't compare with serious wars. The individual strength of most monsters can't compare with Frost Giants. If it weren't for my hammer not recognizing me, I could kill through a city by myself." Thor said with some regret. If he fought through a city, the souls obtained would definitely be enough for his financial freedom.

"Alright, is there anything else to pay attention to there?" Frank continued to ask.

"Don't go provoke a big dog with three heads." Thor said very solemnly.

"That dog gives me a very bad feeling. It should be the final boss designed by the developer. I feel that even if I get my hammer back, I might not be able to clear the level by myself. Those who go to provoke it in the current version all die in seconds."

"Big dog?" Frank remembered Audasxin's encounter in that world.

Indeed, a monster that could almost make Audasxin unable to return with one bite, how could it be something that the current players could provoke.

"Hmm, and there are some special scales in that big dog's nest. Some people have tried to steal one, and throwing it into the bonfire is directly over 10,000 souls. However, later that person was killed so much that he didn't dare to log in, and the multiple death penalties being heavier was also spread by that person." Thor continued.

One scale is over 10,000 souls, then how much would it be if Audasxin were thrown in and burned once?

Frank had a thought flash through his mind inexplicably. Moreover, he was also thinking, how much could he obtain if he jumped in once? The amount was estimated to be incredible, just that he might have the life to take it but not the life to spend it.

"Eh, eh, the money I earn from here shouldn't be illegal, right?" Thor nudged Frank and asked.

"Should... probably... maybe not illegal." Frank thought for a while and said. "However, in the future, maybe this kind of thing will have official forces intervene and introduce some control policies."

"I think it's tough. That Emotional Deep Web, I tried to mix into it, and every time it reported insufficient emotion coins, and the users in there also think that external forces can't manage that place. Unless Dark Souls is caught, this work should be able to be done for quite a long time." Thor had a different opinion.

Frank heard it and thought it made some sense. Suddenly, he remembered a sentence and looked at Thor. "You just said, the users of the Emotional Deep Web are basically also players of that game?"

"Right, I haven't done statistics, but what reason is there not to go?" Thor asked in return.

"Alright, I have something else, so I won't stay here much longer." Frank stood up immediately. He thought of one thing: Peter wouldn't be playing this game, would he? ===== CHAPTER 198 =====
