The horror of the Starfish Game lies in its impact on the minds of the participants. It can turn an optimistic and cheerful person into a depressed person, and then make that person want to get married.
Wang Ran sighed and took out a pack of tissues from his personal storage and handed it to Anna.
"Wipe it off."
Anna took the tissue and wiped her tears silently.
Wang Ran looked at her and fell into deep thought.
Anna is now unable to communicate with others, nor can she leave, so her death is almost inevitable.
He himself does not have the ability to fight against resentment and the power of incense and wishes. Once Anna dies, he can only watch from the sidelines and wait for the situation to develop.
It's nothing actually.
After all, this was just a simulation for him. He just activated [Soul Traveling Through the Worlds] to get some details so as to plan his actions in reality.
It is enough for him to grasp the location of each resentment group.
After returning to reality, we can eradicate them one by one, and there is a high probability that this doomsday will be ended.
but…
Wang Ran looked at Anna deeply.
Although this was just a simulation, it was a cruel reality for Anna in front of him.
"I'll help you as much as I can."
He promised.
Not only does he help Anna, he can also verify some things by the way, such as what will happen if he squanders Morgan Stanley coins recklessly
He took out the VIP card of World Hub,
Look around you,
I happened to see a locked iron door.
This could be a repairman's mess or some other room, but it doesn't matter, as long as there is a door.
He walked to the door and put the VIP card on it.
Colorful light suddenly overflowed from the crack in the door.
He pulled hard.
The lock on the door broke in two with a teeth-grinding twisting sound, and the colorful light shone in harmony with the milky white light of the purification array.
Wang Ran stepped into the door.
When his body was about to sink into the door frame, he turned around to look at Anna. He found that Anna was looking at him with red eyes and holding a wet tissue in her hand.
…
"I heard that the third district was caught in a fierce battle!"
"yes!"
"We have already discovered that there are hundreds of worlds with evil gods, and the number is still increasing. This war will last for at least a few thousand years, and I'm afraid that tens of thousands of evil gods will participate in it!"
“It’s so scary!”
"Tens of thousands of evil gods! Can the third district withstand it?"
"You have to hold on even if you can't!"
"Where did all these evil gods come from?"
"I don't know. The association is still investigating."
"The gods in the third district are confronting the evil gods. You never know when the war between gods will break out. When that happens, you'd better run fast. Don't lose your life for money!"
"… "
The Watcher Society is still overcrowded.
Due to the tense war situation, the Watcher Association continuously sent troops to the Third District. Even several portals were paralyzed by the use, with yellow signs saying "Emergency maintenance, do not use" hung on the doors.
Wang Ran came to the Watcher Association.
"I want to issue a mission."
He slapped his VIP card on the counter and shouted.
The little assistant flew over upon hearing the sound.
"Hello!"
"What type of mission would you like to post?"
"Save the world?"
"Refine treasures?"
"Assisted repair..."
"Save the world!" Wang Ran interrupted the assistant, "To accept my mission, you must be at least at the Void God Realm!"
People around looked at him sideways.
They looked at Wang Ran curiously, wondering what disaster had happened in this guy's world that the mission threshold was so high
Asking the gods for help is very expensive!
Can this guy afford it
The assistant landed lightly on the counter and reminded, "Every god's time is precious. It will cost at least 500,000 Mortal coins to ask a god to help you. Do you have sufficient funds?"
"Money is not a problem." Wang Ran said calmly, "As long as you can help me solve the problem, any amount of money is fine!"
The assistant asked, "How many gods would you like to invite?"
"How many?" Wang Ran frowned and asked, "What are you talking about?"
The assistant replied: "You must invite at least one god to post a task. If the task is difficult, it is recommended that you invite two gods, which is safer..."
"Shut up!"
Wang Ran pretended to be angry and said, "What do you mean by one or two? If others hear this, they will think I can't afford it!"
"Anyone who wants to come, come!"
"Everyone!"
“Everyone is welcome!”
His voice echoed throughout the hall of the Watcher's Association, and in an instant, the entire hall fell silent.
The assistant asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Wang Ran snorted coldly: "Don't you understand this? My mission has no restrictions, anyone can participate as long as they are gods, and any amount of money will be deducted from my card!"
There was a huge noise all around.
"Where did this uncle come from?"
“Too arrogant!”
"Does he have that much money?"
The assistant replied: "Please describe your task. I will determine the amount of the deposit based on the difficulty of your task. Please make sure your description is realistic to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and losses..."
“It’s too much trouble!”
Wang Ran waved his hand and interrupted the assistant again.
"Isn't it just money?"
He looked around.
Everyone was looking at him, their eyes filled with surprise, confusion, and a hint of anticipation—anticipating the embarrassing situation in which he would not be able to come up with the money.
He spoke slowly.
"I'll advance you one trillion as a deposit!"
He tapped his fingers on the VIP card he had placed on the counter.
“Deduct it directly from the card.”
As soon as the words fell, a discussion broke out around him.
"One trillion? How dare he say that!"
"Mada believers don't have that much money, right?"
"Let's all go!"
"Is this his first time at World Hub?"
"There was such a person a few days ago. He said millions of dollars, but when I checked, he didn't even have a single Morgan Stanley coin. He also said he wanted to meet Morgan Stanley."
"… "
Wang Ran listened to the discussion beside him and asked calmly, "Is this okay?"
He didn't need to explain anything because the facts would speak for him.
The assistant replied, "Sure."
Under the gazes of the crowd, the little assistant flew to the counter and shot a conical beam of light at Wang Ran's VIP card.
"Start deducting the deposit!"
Everyone was whispering.
"This is so funny, I want to record this scene!"
"The true colors will be revealed!"
"Shh—stop talking, just watch for fun!"
"… "
Wang Ran sat there calmly.
The next second, everyone heard words that they would never forget.
"One trillion JPY has been deducted from your account!"
Everyone:
“Thank you for your trust!”
The assistant's voice reached everyone's ears.
The noisy discussions suddenly disappeared, and the whole hall suddenly became silent. Even a pin drop could be heard clearly.
Everyone looked shocked.
How is that possible? !
They opened their mouths wide and stared at Wang Ran who was sitting in front of the counter.
One trillion... deduction successful
Oh my god!
This person actually has 1 trillion Morgan Stanley coins? !
"Is it enough? If not, add more!"
The hall was exceptionally quiet.
Only Wang Ran spoke.
He looked around.
No one dared to look him in the eye.
At this moment, his eyes seemed to have an invisible sense of oppression. Wherever his eyes swept, people lowered their heads in fear.
These people are regretting their decision so much.
One trillion Morgan Stanley coins!
For someone who can come up with so much money, it would not be difficult to kill a god even if he wanted to.
He'll be killed by money!
Wang Ran glanced at the person who had just said he wanted to record him.
This person is like a rooster with its throat strangled. His face is flushed and he looks like his brain has crashed.
Wang Ran withdrew his gaze.
One trillion JPY is certainly enough to get the attention of Morgan Stanley. What will happen next
Will Mo suddenly appear and slap him to death for stealing the bank card
Wang Ran waited silently.
Buzz!
The assistant was shaken, and a gentle female voice came out: "It's more than enough, distinguished guest."
Morda did not arrive immediately.
Wang Ran was surprised and asked, "Did he change to a real person?"
"Hello, my name is Shengya, it's an honor to speak to you."
The assistant replied.
"I am the vice president of the Watcher Association. The Watcher Association has received your one trillion Morpheus deposit. What kind of doomsday is your world experiencing?"
"We will draw up a mission brief based on your description."
"Then, through the exclusive channels of the Watcher Association, we will issue expedited tasks to all gods!"
Vice President Shengya's voice was unusually soft.
Wang Ran pondered, "There is a kind of negative energy called resentment in my world. They gather together to cause supernatural disasters. I would like to ask someone to help me purify this resentment and record the location of each resentment group."
“This is a dangerous mission.”
"A powerful person who built a three-story altar has already been trapped in it."
“But not every place is so dangerous.”
"Also, I hope to release another branch under this task."
"The strong man who built the three-story altar has been cursed mentally. He is becoming increasingly depressed and may very well commit suicide in the end."
"I hope someone can rescue her."
"Um… "
“That’s about it.”
As soon as the words were spoken, the assistant popped up a light screen with the task introduction, task requirements, and task rewards written on it.
"Please take a look."
The voice of Vice President Shengya was heard from the assistant.
Wang Ran took a quick glance and nodded after confirming that it was basically correct: "Just send it as it is. I authorize you to open the world channel to my world."
"OK!"
The little assistant spun cutely.
Wang Ran was slightly startled, wondering if the little assistant was spinning on his own or was it controlled by Shengya
bite!
A clear reminder sound rang out in the hall.
"Emergency notice! Emergency notice!"
"Now issuing the nightmare-level watch mission "Tide of Resentment" to all watchers above the god level. Please check your task list!"
Nightmare-level Overwatch missions are second only to Hell-level.
The Watcher Association takes this mission very seriously. After all, Wang Ran is a big client who has bet 1 trillion Morgan Stanley dollars, and the mission itself is dangerous enough that even the strong man who built the three-story altar is in danger of his life.
At the same time, many gods in countless worlds received the news.
"A prize pool of one trillion Moroccan dollars?"
"I'm free now, let's go take a look!"
"Who issued this mission?"
"Will the strong men of the third-level altar also encounter danger?"
"Seems like an interesting mission."
“Go see the world.”
"You also received this task? Let's go together!"
"… "
The entire world hub was stirred up by the sky-high commission mission issued by Wang Ran.
One trillion Morgan Stanley coins!
If one can make a unique and outstanding contribution in this mission, one person can monopolize 30%, which is 300 billion Morigado coins, which is equivalent to 300,000 copies of god-level resources!
Who can remain indifferent to 300,000 cultivation resources
And because the bonus pool is large enough, even if you can't make an outstanding contribution, you can still make a small profit by showing up in the mission.
So the gods set off with great interest.
One after another, powerful men walked out of the dangerous training grounds and opened the portal to the earth.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Powerful auras appeared above the earth.
The gods came together.
Powerful wills collided in the air, the heaven and earth changed dramatically, and scenes like doomsday appeared everywhere on the earth.
"What happened?"
Ordinary people looked at the sky above their heads in panic.
"Hahaha! Why are you all here?"
"I haven't seen you for more than 20,000 years. I didn't expect you were still alive."
“They are all old friends!”
“It’s such a big world!”
"It's boundless, very suitable as an arena for gods!"
"It's a rare opportunity for us to get together. Who wants to fight me?"
"What if I accidentally blow up this planet? Do I need to pay for it?"
"… "
Lines of consciousness were communicating above the earth, and it seemed chaotic.
“That’s enough!”
"Don't forget what you are here for!"
The god of the Watcher Association spoke up.
Someone has bet one trillion Morgan Stanley coins on the Watcher Association to issue a mission. If the god who carries out the mission messes up the mission world, the reputation of the Watcher Association will be ruined!
A magnificent divine power spread across the surface of the earth.
Waves hundreds of meters high gradually sank into the seabed as they moved forward, the collapsed mountains stood up again on the earth, and the dark clouds covering the sky turned into tens of thousands of small fragments.
The sun shines on the earth again and everything returns to peace.
"If you want to fight, go fight in outer space!"
The Watcher Association had long anticipated that the gods gathering together would easily cause chaos.
"But once you make a move."
"You will be disqualified from the mission!"
"Be careful of our sanctions!"
The gods of the Watcher Society issued a warning.
"Tsk, got it."
"I don't mean anything else, please don't misunderstand."
"Let's do the task first!"
"Where is the cursed altar realm?"
"… "
The gods have stopped their attacks.
The Watcher Society is quite powerful, and the gods don't want to bring bad luck to the Watcher Society.
Furthermore, they take money from people to help them eliminate disasters, but ultimately they are here to help the world quell disasters.
At the same time, Anna in Maskova looked solemn.
She felt the presence of the gods.
Among them, there are several who are on par with her and are also powerful people who have built three-story altars.
There are others who are slightly better than her, having built higher altars or mastering more powerful rules.
Under normal circumstances, she would definitely come forward to negotiate with these gods to ensure the safety of the earth.
But now…
She looked gloomy.
"How are you?"
Wang Ran walked out of the iron gate.
He said to Anna: "I have invited some gods from the World Hub. They will help us calm down the apocalypse."
Anna was stunned for a moment.
Were these gods invited by Wang Ran from the World Hub
She looked anxious.
Although these gods can help the earth calm down the doomsday, it is like drinking poison to quench thirst.
Because the world where the earth is located is an ultra-rare world with ten levels of space!
Once discovered,
It will definitely cause a stir in the world hub.
By then, everyone will want to come to this world to get a piece of the pie, and the Earth, as their first stop, will inevitably suffer huge damage!
It is true that the power level of this world is very high.
Perhaps it can cope with the impact of the world hub, or even affect the world hub in turn.
But everyone on earth is an ordinary person.
She is the strongest person on Earth, but she is not sure she can protect the Earth in this chaos!
Wang Ran had no idea what Anna was thinking.
He said to Anna: "You inspired me. If it wasn't for saving you, I wouldn't have gone to the World Hub to ask for help."
This is the truth.
If he had not been moved by Anna's tears, he might not have gone to the world hub to issue the mission.
After all, this was just a simulation for him. If something went wrong this time, he could just simulate it again.
However, issuing a task is a good move.
There is a high probability that he can find out the location of all the resentment clusters in this simulation, and by the way, he can also test Morda's reaction.
Anna was stunned.
He exposed his world just to save me
Wang Ran smiled and said, "I don't know what's wrong with you, but I will definitely save you, no matter what happens to you."
Anna's eyes turned red and she pursed her lips.
She wasn't usually this fragile, but after being dragged into the starfish game, her emotions became somewhat out of control.
"Relax."
Wang Ran comforted him softly, "Starfish Game won't do anything to you."
"The time flow rate of the Earth and the world hub is ten to one. Within seven days, a god who is good at purification and removing curses will definitely come to Earth to help you. You will be fine."
Although he didn't know what Anna's death mission was, the killing method of the Starfish Game was to make the participants fall into depression and finally commit suicide.
He guessed that Anna was in great pain and needed comfort and encouragement.
"You are a very good angel."
He said with a smile.
The light of the purification array shone on his face, making him look extremely sincere.
Anna stared at Wang Ran in a daze.
I... I'm a good angel
Really
"Don't let your imagination run wild these days." Wang Ran warned, "I need you very much. You are my guardian angel. I won't allow you to die in such a strange place!"
He needs me
In an instant, Anna had a wonderful feeling. An emotion that she couldn't tell whether it was touching or admiration surged in her heart and finally burst out of her eyes.
She couldn't hold it anymore.
“Woo… woo woo woo…”
She threw herself into Wang Ran's arms and burst into tears, tears rolling down her face.
Wang Ran hugged Anna's soft body stiffly.
His physical attributes of up to 10,000 points gave him an extraordinary keen perception.
He felt that Anna didn’t have any clothes under her white robe. Anna seemed to be... naked
He was a little overwhelmed.
What should he do at this time
A pinch
Wang Ran shook his head gently to get rid of the inappropriate thoughts in his mind.
But doing nothing won’t work either.
Anna was crying more and more sadly. What if she suddenly became depressed and committed suicide before anyone came to help her
If the vinegar is gone, wouldn’t it be a waste for him to make the dumplings
no!
We have to find a way to make Anna stop.
What to do
Wang Ran didn't know what he was thinking. He took out a small bowl and handed it to Anna's chin.
Tick! Tick! Tick!
Anna's tears fell into the bowl, making a crisp sound, like pearls rolling down a jade plate.
