Chapter 229: Chapter 155: Angry Players (Three updates)_2
The majestic woman had not noticed the surrounding spaceships.
She was just intently staring at the ancient device in her hands, sized like a speck of dust, occasionally letting out delightful gasps of admiration.
“How beautiful, I never thought you squirrels were hiding something this nice. Squirrel King, why didn’t you offer it to me earlier?”
The Squirrel King inside the cage clenched his teeth, continuously resisting the enchantment of the divine being in front of him.
To ordinary creatures, divine beings are an overwhelming presence.
Even looking at a god, there is a chance of being captured by their charm and subsequently becoming a slave to the divine.
Although the deity before them was acknowledged by the Heavenly Tao network, she was definitely not a benevolent god; deception and manipulation were her forte.
Once fallen into slavery, she would certainly use one’s own hands to inflict pain and despair upon the squirrels, dragging them into an even more wretched future.
It had sought death several times, but the divine being used her power to create a cage, making it impossible to die, and forcing it to endlessly endure her temptation.
She also reveled in the process, admiring the collapse of the determined, like the last spoonful of pudding on a plate, the sweet taste blooming from the despair and pain deep within the soul, indulging in it, unable to stop.
She had come here by chance, intending to report the losses to the Heavenly Tao network, when she happened to see the device in the spatial fold and the unconscious Squirrel King.
She liked both of these things and so decided to stay here a bit longer, to thoroughly play with this place.
Only after she had her fill did she notice the large number of spaceships surrounding her.
She didn’t know what these spaceships were doing, but she still waved her hand in a seemingly friendly manner, hiding her deep and inexhaustible sinister thoughts behind a facade of goodwill.
Looking at the female figure, the players’ exclamations never stopped.
[So huge...]
[Really, so big...]
[To see a woman so large, am I really allowed to look for free? No, I paid for this.]
[My goodness, I’ve once again realized the artistic foundation of Fang Cheng Studio. Which grand artist are they? How can they create such wonderful things?]
[My gaze has been taken by her, and now I no longer feel joy or sorrow in this life.]
Xiemen Waidao also looked for a while, and then decisively said to Alpha, “Help me translate. May I ask, can you release that rather pitiful little squirrel?”
Alpha immediately transmitted the information, and the enormous deity received the message from Alpha in that moment, her face showing a proper and gentle smile.
This large-scale task quickly spread among player groups. No one would believe that an apparently gentle, kind, and attractive older sister figure was a villain. Each player took this large task as a part of the main storyline and began ceaselessly clearing the area of everything.
Finally, after two days of arduous combat, the designated area’s Shadows were cleared.
The weary players didn’t have time to cheer before they piloted their spaceships back to the designated location.
Feeling the disappearance of Shadows within the designated area, the God nodded in satisfaction and began calculating how much favor He could gain from the council.
These Angel Envoys were indeed useful, and if possible, He really wanted to use them repeatedly.
The surrounding players converged, eyeing the ancient device in God’s hand as well as the collapsing Squirrel King He held.
The God didn’t speak, only smiling.
The players didn’t speak either, just watching Him.
Finally, a player broke the silence, having Alpha convey his message: “Um... could you hand over the instrument now?”
“What instrument?”
“The ancient device you promised earlier?”
“When did we agree on that?”
“...You’re not thinking of reneging on the deal, are you?”
“What if I say yes? What will you do then?”
The shameless reply left the players at a loss for words.
Then came the anger!
This was the first time they had encountered such a shameless NPC, one who would go back on their word at the last moment.
And from His demeanor, it was clear that He had intended to make fools of them from the start, making the players even more intolerant.
We cannot suffer this indignity! We’ve paid money!
No one knew who started it, but the first wave of attacks came swiftly, with a barrage of lasers targeting the enemy’s weak spots. However, the feeble assaults only made the God yawn.
Such is the fate of weak races.
The firepower of the spaceships wasn’t enough to injure Him, and in His eyes, missiles were mere grand fireworks. Facing the players’ all-out assault, the God simply waved His hand indifferently, taking the ancient device and the Squirrel King with Him.
“Thank you for your help, goodbye.”
Hearing His insolent parting words, the players, this time, were truly enraged!
