Chapter 467: The Terrifying Abyss "Corruption"

The plot of "Black Knight" became the main topic of heated discussion on the Internet.

“Now I really become the protagonist.”

Lind was scrolling through the posts, feeling very happy as he saw that "Black Knight" had become the most searched and well-known character in the game.

After him, the second most searched term is "Lind Almann".

The former is the version BOSS, while the latter is recognized as the "official son". Moreover, some of his operations made their images overlap, leading to a rapid increase in popularity for both sides.

"If it weren't for the Black Knight, this vest wouldn't have lasted long. It would be nice to have a plot where the Sun Knight and the Black Knight are in opposition."

Now the "Black Knight" is the officially recognized BOSS. In this case, the recognized protagonist of the version is not decided by the official, but by the BOSS. Whoever the Black Knight thinks is his biggest enemy is the protagonist of the version.

As long as Lind can maintain his identity as the protagonist of both light and darkness and fight against himself, it can be said that he can play however he wants. However, the hidden dangers are too great. The day his identity is exposed, it will be difficult to wash away the plot around him. Everything else is fine, but he must leave himself a chance to whitewash himself. Most of the undead play games with justice in their hearts. If they find out that the hero they are expecting is actually a disgusting and calculating person, it is not impossible that he will be so angry that he wants to kill Lind.

However, although Linde Arman cannot be shown, Raniya and others can be made into main plot characters.

Without his command, the undead people of the Tree Kingdom gathered together and began to work according to the contents on the wooden board.

The whole game is very immersive. In the past, only the undead related to Lind had experienced "gamification". There were always people mocking it online, saying that the undead of the Rand Kingdom were playing on private servers and had no experience at all. But now it is the turn of the undead of the Tree Kingdom, and they immediately feel refreshed.

"In the past, I spent a lot of time figuring out a task and still didn't get any reward." O*O* looked at the two new bulletin boards. "Now the task rewards are clearly marked with prices. Damn, that's great!"

What you want when playing games is a sense of immersion, but the most important thing is the satisfying feedback. If this game world wasn't real enough, and there were methods such as potions and fighting monsters to quickly improve your strength, the undead would have given up playing long ago and would have just lived a slow-paced life in a magical world.

Being too real is sometimes not a good thing.

There were no instructions and I had to rely on my own "exploration", but now everything has instructions and the style of the tasks has changed drastically. Although the text narrative has a strong sense of fragmentation, the "clear pricing" saves me a lot of brainpower.

After receiving the mission, the undead people acted quickly.

From that day on, the Black Knight no longer frequently appeared in the sight of the undead, and the undead did not care. Since version 2.0 was closely related to him, he could not escape, and the most important thing for them at the moment was to complete those crowdfunding tasks.

The tasks on the wooden board were always changing. There were not many private tasks, but there were several "progress bar" tasks. Rewards would be given according to certain quantities achieved. Although there was a suspicion of letting the undead eat from the same pot, considering that this might still be the early stage of force building, and they had spent several years in the dream world, it was the first time they saw a task with a clear price tag. They just thought it was good and could not say it was bad. If it were the undead who had seen the world in the Rand Kingdom, they might be picky.

……

In the Cloudcrown Kingdom, the mountains stand proudly.

Gareth, the lord of the Cloudcrown Kingdom, looked up at the mountains in front of him. The mountains were looking down at him from above, just like the legend of the Cloudcrown Giant that had been passed down in the Cloudcrown Kingdom since childhood.

Behind him were soldiers responsible for protection. In such an era, his Cloud Crown Kingdom was the country that suffered the least damage from disasters. This was because of its rugged terrain, its limited contacts with the outside world, and the fact that the Cloud Crown Kingdom had a sparse population before the end of the world.

Of course, no disasters will occur in an uninhabited place.

His gaze passed over the mountains and rushed towards the sky. His eyes were shining with fire, like a meteor across the night sky.

This place is called the "Paradise", but only Gareth himself knows that what he wants is for the Cloud Top Giant to reappear and restore its former glory, rather than shrinking into a corner of the world.

"What happened in the Tree Kingdom?" Gareth asked. He felt the breath of spiritual power. It was his daughter, Carriedel Cloudcrown.

She possesses the legendary magical talent of traveling through space as a soul.

The huge movement of the Tree Kingdom was naturally noticed by the neighboring Cloud Crown Kingdom.

"I am not traveling the void," said Carridel Cloudcrown.

She is very tall and always looks listless, as if she is always dozing off.

"But the undead seemed to know very well, and just said that it was the return of the Black Knight of the Abyss."

Because the pace of life here is slow, the gameplay style of the undead who stay here is closer to the "life style".

Building houses, catching insects, raising mutant plants, visiting friends in groups, etc., it is quite pleasant to live with the NPCs of the Cloud Crown Kingdom.

Those undead who wanted to participate in the war went to surrounding countries and regions.

The Tree Kingdom, the Salt Plains, and the Crow's Nest Cliffs.

Some people came and some left. At first, they thought about stopping this from happening, but after finding out that they couldn't kill the undead no matter what, Gareth stopped trying. With the help of his daughter, he discovered the undead's work style and characteristics. Those undead who were difficult to deal with were actually strong reinforcements. Everyone was envious of such a force, but they also found that after promising huge benefits, those undead might not really swear allegiance. Only by letting them stay and become part of this country could they successfully make the undead work for themselves.

After realizing that his military power was no match for the three powerful neighboring countries, Gareth changed his strategy and used "freedom" and "ease" as selling points, attracting many undead to join.

With the help of his daughter Carriedel Yunguan's ability to travel in the void, and eavesdropping on some important information from time to time, and relying on the secret "hopes" of the undead, Gareth slowly changed and developed, and actually became the most leisurely "farm country".

Later, a disaster broke out in the abyss, and the big crack happened to appear in the mountains. Gareth was very frightened at first, but he didn't expect that the undead people shouted strange words "terrain bug" while dropping their fishing rods, hoes, and kitchen knives, and rushed forward in a large number, and actually succeeded in suppressing the invading abyss.

The undead disappeared and reappeared.

Gareth was terrified. Based on his experience with the undead, he knew that every time this group of people appeared, they would bring new disasters with them.

As expected, the big commotion in the Tree Kingdom also reached his ears, but he didn't know what exactly happened. Only some people who escaped by chance had only a vague understanding of the specific situation. They only knew that the Tree Kingdom was destroyed.

Now they know that "the Black Knight of the Abyss has returned." Although they don't know who the Black Knight is, they have already encountered the horror of the abyss.

Even the Great Rift failed to break through the Tree Kingdom, but now it has been destroyed. I don’t know if the undead can withstand it this time.

Unlike others, Gareth really has no available power and can only rely on the undead. His style of doing things is actually similar to Linde's in a way. They both define themselves as service personnel, but they are different. Linde's ultimate goal of providing services is to reap the benefits, while Gareth just wants to provide for them and serve them well, fearing that they will leave him.

Gareth looked at his daughter, and although he didn't say anything, the meaning in his eyes was very clear.

"Let me try to travel through the void again."

Carridel Cloudcrown sat on a stone nearby and closed his eyes.

Wandering in the void, her consciousness separated from her body, she quickly rose in altitude until she was overlooking the mountains. She turned and flew to the other end, feeling the absolute freedom without the restraints of her body.

No need for oxygen, no burden, spirit is everything to her.

The sun was hanging overhead, and thick clouds were spread underfoot like a woolen blanket. Carriedel opened her arms and enjoyed it greedily. Then she realized that now was not the time to enjoy these things. Being too obsessed with wandering in the void might lead to her ultimate death.

Finally, at the border between the Cloudcrown Kingdom and the Tree Kingdom, she saw a large number of undead gathered.

The fire of their spirit flickered, and the dots looked like sparks flying out when a piece of charcoal hits the ground, like embers.

But even such a weak soul has an extremely powerful body.

The ground was closing in on her quickly.

Carridel Cloudcrown landed on the ground and looked at the person who was speaking loudly.

"I want to join the Abyss. I want to follow Lord Black Knight. Ah!! I have been corrupted by the Abyss!"

She was shocked and joined the abyss and was corrupted?

"Let me tell you about the benefits of joining the Black Knights!" one person said loudly, "Join us, and when the total population reaches 3, you can unlock the Abyss Prize Pool!"

"When the total population of the undead reaches 5, the promotion channel can be unlocked. The promotion channel includes upgrading the legion rating... In other words, in the future, high-level undead can hire low-level undead and become the boss themselves!"

"When the total population of the undead reaches 10, the Magic Land Shop will open, where you can buy some advanced equipment for advanced maps!"

"When the total population of the undead reaches 20, the channel to the Demon Land dungeon will be opened, and you can choose to go to the Demon Land!"

Careydale listened to words she didn't understand at all, and didn't understand what this had to do with the abyss.

But the next scene made her completely confused. The undead people actually shouted that they were corrupted, and then walked away with a grin on their faces.

Others said they wanted to go home and pack up before joining the Black Knights.

"Why can these languages ​​corrupt the undead?" She could feel the change in the fire of their spirits from friendliness to hostility after the undead said they were corrupted.

The terrible corruption was countless times more terrifying than the great rift in the abyss. The most terrifying thing was that she was not affected at all after hearing it, but none of the undead were spared.

The corruption is so targeted, it's terrible!

She immediately flew towards the mountains. She had to make plans early.
