Chapter 1840: Chapter 614: Vam the King of Forcing: Heh, @Su, Isn’t Missionary Work Easy? (2)
Brother Cat nodded and then thought of something, asking in a low voice:
“So this Alpha Company… what’s their background, really? With this kind of black technology, they could rule the Earth, right?”
“Uh, I can only tell you that it’s a state-level research project, and we are currently in a ‘cooperative’ relationship with Alpha Company. Things are still within a controllable range.”
Lord Qin said in a vague tone:
“Of course, don’t go blabbing about what I just told you or someone might invite you for tea. Don’t worry about your younger brother; he’s being well taken care of by Alpha Company’s maintenance staff, so the worst-case scenario you’re imagining won’t happen.
You can be completely assured of that.”
“Oh, alright, knowing this means I have no problem.”
Brother Cat let out a sigh of relief.
He finalized the cooperation model with Lord Qin and then got in touch with Loyal Brother, the president of the Hymn of Loyalty guild. Loyal Brother asked him to immediately return to Transylvania to sign an agreement. The terms for leasing the slot were very generous, with no coercive buying or selling involved. Loyal Brother even said they could settle this transaction through offline payment.
But Brother Cat declined.
Like Stick Brother, his first reaction was to keep in-game matters separate from the outside world.
Actually, Brother Cat had another unasked question, which was if this world is real, given the current player activity areas and the situations discovered, it doesn’t make sense for his family to make such a big fuss.
Could it be that there’s something peculiar in the current game progression that he hasn’t discovered yet?
Hmm…
This matter is worth observing closely.
It’s not really about pulling any stunts. Mainly, if finding something would genuinely help the family, Brother Cat and his brothers wouldn’t mind serving the country in an alternate world.
While Brother Cat was thinking about these matters, his four brothers had already completed their tasks.
They first found Lumina of the Silver Moon Group and handed her the weapon box containing the famed Cold Night, asking her to pass it to Sister Pomegranate, embellishing Brother Cat’s affectionate words with lots of embellishments, making Lumina laugh as she covered her mouth, thinking these straight guys were always like this.
She planned to spice up Brother Cat’s gratitude a bit to properly convey the feelings of a rumored boyfriend to Sister Pomegranate.
After delivering Cold Night, the Strike Quartet then took Vam’s Executioner to find Brother Meow.
But this time the return wasn’t so smooth.
“What?”
Roar of the Lion in Hedong looked surprised at the dejected Brother Meow in front of him, and said:
“You want to give the axe to who? Giant Shark? Why are you rewarding him? Isn’t this axe something you guys worked hard on a special mission to rent from Count Shuren? How come you’re just giving it away to Giant Shark?”
“Sigh, this item is a holy relic of The Fury, my brother, being an Avalon believer holding onto it, feels like burning my hands! Didn’t Vam already make a statement?”
Just resurrected, Brother Meow, sitting arrogantly on a chair in the bunker, reluctantly stroked the Vam’s Executioner which he was quite handy with. This sly yet righteous middle-aged man sighed and said:
“I knew when I got this thing that it had a Vam’s Mark effect, but I didn’t quite understand the mechanics at that time. It was only after I bit the dust and Giant Shark picked it up, successfully changing his role to The Fury, that I realized holding onto it was like squatting while occupying the pit…
Cough, cough, a bit crude, but you get the idea.
This thing is formidable, but the power I can exert from it is not even one-third of what Giant Shark can. You all saw how crazed he was with this thing.
It’s clearly an item meant for those players committed to the ‘Berserker’ path for role transformation. Holding onto it selfishly might cause trouble down the line.
Vam, damn it, has even descended; I think I should promptly send this thing away.”
Brother Meow snorted, resting his hand on the imitation Sacred Blade he hadn’t unsheathed for a long time, and said:
“Besides, I’m a Reserve Red Knight of Avalon. It doesn’t sound right to keep holding onto Vam’s holy relic, does it? Since there are real gods on this continent, and I am clergy, I must remain faithful to Avalon’s Boss.”
“No, Brother Meow!”
Dog Paddle in the North of the Forest earnestly tried to persuade:
“Just hold onto it. Maybe you could strike an Avalon X Vam dual-god selection; how cool does that sound! Isn’t it said that the First Generation Count of Xike was a dual-god selection?”
“Haha, that’s just backstory. If you actually believe it, then you’re done for.”
Brother Meow rolled his eyes and said:
“The most important thing is that this axe is rented, you know? It’s got to be returned to Count Shuren once the time’s up, rather than selfishly occupying it, better to do a favor.
Vam is the Chief God of the West Sacha Barbarians; the new map for the Ice Bay Area depends on this thing.
I’m not a Berserker, so even holding onto the axe, I can’t enter their temple.
Better let Giant Shark have it; when he leads the team to stir things up in Ice Bay, we, the Big Bird Team, could at least enjoy some of the soup.
Besides.
I’m not giving it away for free…”
“Brother Meow, Giant Shark’s here.”
Little Hand came running to shout, Brother Meow nodded, and then saw Giant Shark, recently resurrected, rushing in with excitement, rubbing his hands and at a loss for words, having learned the reason behind everything from Little Hand.
