Chapter 58: Daphne's Fantasy

The case was solved, all of it was solved.

Daphne felt she had grasped the truth.

Why was Teresa, who was usually so cold, exclusively interested in Sterl? Could it be simply because he helped her gain an opportunity?

Impossible!

Why was Teresa so calm in the face of Eric's threat just now?

Why did she suddenly have to accept Sterl's invitation to join the team?

The celestial event just now and the sudden appearance of a figure explained everything.

Daphne felt she had seen through it all.

Sterl, this person is marvelous!

He might be the descendant or relative of a very powerful player...

Exactly!

Daphne looked at the man standing in the center of the meteorite crater and immediately determined that he must be Sterl's elder.

And this elder, seeing Teresa, Sterl's closely related "girlfriend," in trouble, defeated Eric and the others in one move!

The reason Sterl invited Daphne to join the team just now was because his elder was also in this team!

Daphne thought her analysis was completely correct. That move just now, she suspected, was at least of purple quality or above, which could only be executed by a player of level 91 or above!

She never considered that the male in the huge crater created by the meteorite was Sterl himself.

Teresa referred to Sterl as a "junior," meaning Sterl must have become a player later than Teresa, and at most just changed his class, completely unlikely to be on the same level as the powerful being who delivered the devastating blow.

Daphne, looking at the elder in the field, felt her heart pounding excitedly at such terrifying combat power! He even saved her from danger, making Daphne's heart unable to help but feel a strange emotion.

"I guessed that Sterl's elder must be quite old, just a player with great strength and youthful appearance."

"But I don't mind!"

"And in this way, it could also make me and Teresa even closer in the future! Quite nice, huh!" Daphne had already entered into a fantasy.

She was in a very good mood, while the other players around her felt creeped out.

Even the dumbest among them knew that the sudden figure and the meteorite that appeared just now must be related!

"Who exactly is this person? How can he be so strong?"

"Eric, level 70, two-class, couldn't even block a single move?"

"Was it really that he couldn't block a single move? The power of that meteorite probably could have killed him several times over!"

"This level of player, how come I've never heard of him, could it be he's from a base outside the Val administrative region?"

...

The players discussed with faces full of shock and suspicion.

The only certainty was that the big shot in front of them was very strong.

The drop of Soar together made him pause.

Having observed from the shadows earlier, he naturally knew it was an item that could establish a marriage relationship with two players/NPCs at the same time.

He was immediately in a dilemma. Sterl's first reaction was naturally to marry Linna and Rayna. But the problem was, these two were currently too weak to adventure with Sterl, rendering the marriage system's[Affection Guard]useless.

"Let's keep it for now, use it when needed..."

"Moreover, if it can be used on NPCs, then perhaps it could trigger some special quests for the NPCs." Sterl was quite satisfied with this drop.

By the way, after killing two players, the amulet in Sterl's backpack gained two additional layers.

Then, Sterl turned his cold gaze towards the surrounding players.

At this moment, using Star Insight, he was in a disguised state, having changed his appearance. Only Teresa knew Sterl's identity through a private message sent to her in advance.

Logically speaking, there was no need to silence these players. But Sterl had noticed their schadenfreude when Teresa was about to suffer. Since his amulet still lacked a few layers, he decided to just kill them all...

In his palm, the power of fire slowly gathered.

At this time, the spectating players' faces drastically changed.

"Wait, Big Shot. this has nothing to do with us!"

"We're also victims! We're innocent."

"Spare usr!"

...

A crowd of people were crying and begging, while also taking out various items from their inventory, preparing to escape.

Fortunately, at this moment—

"Sir, please don't act rashly." Teresa spoke up, mentioning that Sterl had messaged her, pretending to be "a mysterious expert known to Sterl".

She naturally obeyed.

Unexpectedly, after Teresa spoke, Daphne's eyes lit up, excited. I guessed right! This big shot must be Sterl's elders!

I've decided! I must win over Teresa's little boyfriend's elders!

Daphne once again entered her fantasy, a smile spreading across her face.

Meanwhile, Teresa had no idea what her good sister was plotting. She simply took out a bunch of scrolls: "I have contract scrolls here, which can turn them into your servants."

"When you need something, I can command these people to help you handle and execute it."

"Moreover, these players with about two-class strength are the backbone of our Earth's human race in facing racial wars. It would be better to preserve some if possible."

Teresa earnestly persuaded.

Sterl's last training session was very successful. His maid had already begun to take initiative in thinking for him. These contract scrolls were something Teresa had obtained by nearly spending all her resources.

The purpose was simple, to help Sterl gradually build his power.

When Teresa returned to the base, she realized something. With Sterl's abilities, he was destined to stand at the pinnacle of Earth's humanity!

Although she was an A-grade talent, her profession was only C-grade. Could she really keep up with her master in the future? Teresa decided to find another way and prepare logistical support for Sterl.
