Chapter 1255: One Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty Two·"He is waiting to wake up."

Su Mingan walked up to the Lord again and presented him with a bright red shawl.

This time, the Lord raised a more in-depth topic.

"...I want to talk to you about the [Reward Mechanism of World Games]. Have you ever thought about the criteria used to judge the difficulty of World Games?"

Su Mingan thought for a moment: "How difficult is it to collect clues? How strong is the enemy? How long does the mission take?"

"The answer is." The Lord of the World smiled: "The gap in strength."

He stood up, and finally moved his noble back away from the goddess statue. His long purple hair flowed like a smooth stream from the moon-white statue and fell behind him:
"The equation I worked out is: [Average comprehensive ability required for the mission - current player strength = mission difficulty]"

"In order to increase the mission rewards, we need to increase the difficulty of the mission. That is -"

"Increasing the minuend in a formula decreases the subtrahend and enlarges the difference."

"First, we need to increase the number of minuends. If the target of the mission is one of our own, we can let our own people create trouble. For example, if your mission is to meet the goddess of life, I can set up many tests for you - [You can only meet the goddess of life if you pass the difficult test of the world master], and the mission reward you get will be increased."

"The subtrahend is our focus. Because the increase of the subtrahend is limited, but the subtrahend can be reduced to infinity - you just need to seal your own strength. When the system of the world game detects that your current strength cannot keep up with the difficulty of the current task, once you complete the task, the reward you get will be leapfrog and sublimated."

"Have I made these words clear?"

The Lord's tone was extremely gentle. He said "Have I made it clear?" instead of "Do you understand?", which made people feel comfortable.

"Okay." Su Mingan felt like he had taken a very beneficial lesson.

"Through a lot of research, I have gained a certain amount of data knowledge about this equation, which can help you maximize the efficiency of [task difficulty] and [task reward] just right." The Lord of the World circled around Su Mingan and spoke softly and slowly: "Let me think... According to your current progress, you should have reached the third or fourth stage of a perfect clearance?"

...that's right.

Su Mingan's pupils trembled slightly. The World Lord was truly the most out-of-the-box existence he had ever seen, even more sober than the players.

The Lord's footsteps "tap, tap, tap" circled around Su Mingan. He seemed to like this way of pacing and thinking. The golden eyes in the gap of the mask flashed with thought:

"Your initial birth point is in Hongta Country, so your first round of perfect clearance mission should be related to Hongta Country or Game Day. It is either to escape from Hongta Country or wait for Game Day to start."

"The tasks of the first and second rings usually connect with each other. Your second ring perfect clearance task should also be related to the game day... Is it to clear the first level of the Disciple Game?"

"The World Game requires you to enter the main storyline of Luowasha. The best way is to contact the superiors, including but not limited to me, the Fun Demon, the Nalan Court, and the Wheel of Fortune... Considering your previous question, your third ring perfect clearance task... should be to meet the Goddess of Life?"

...all right.

A chill ran up his spine. If Su Ming'an had not been sure that he had not shared it with the World Lord, he would have even suspected that the World Lord had seen the content of his mission.

This was the first time he felt that he was seen through. Perhaps Noel could do that, but he would never express it so bluntly. However, the Lord of the World expressed his wisdom without any reservation, like a kind of confidence.

If such a person is an enemy, he can even guide Su Mingan's task chain in various ways, manipulate the player's task content from the side, force the player into a desperate situation, and kill people without bloodshed.

"……how?"

Seeing that Su Mingan didn't speak, the "da, da, da" sounds in the room suddenly stopped, and only the lingering fragrance of wisteria flowers lingered. The Lord's golden eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice became non-threatening again:
"… Am I worthy of your cooperation? Player One."

Su Mingan said slowly: "I will give you the blessing of the higher dimension, and you will help me get a generous reward for the task chain."

"Yes, all you have to pay is a little care after you win the victory." The Lord of the World smiled and said, "Enjoy the service first, and pay the price later. I think it is difficult to find such a good cooperation. My sincerity has been shown, can you give me a little sincerity?"

Su Mingan has been thinking.

It was entirely beneficial for him to cooperate with the Lord of the World. If the Lord of the World wanted to take action against him, he didn't need to reveal these things, he only needed to indirectly affect the task chain, which would be very troublesome for him.

But he would not trust anyone easily. After all, the Lord of the World was unfathomable, and what was revealed now was just the iceberg on the surface of the sea.

"If you are an enemy, the feeling of oppression will be very strong," said Su Mingan.

"So, please become my ally." The Lord of the World said with a smile: "After all, with your 'sharpness', you would be able to detect if I had the slightest thought of betrayal, right?"

He emphasized the word "sensitive", and Su Mingan understood his implication - Su Mingan, if I betrayed you, you can retaliate against me in the next round, so how dare I do anything to you?

But at the same time, a slight sense of vigilance rose in Su Mingan's heart. If it was a wise man like the Lord, when the Lord really wanted to betray, I'm afraid the Lord would have even planned his death and would not give Su Mingan a chance to turn the tables.

Just like the three-line dead end...

The deadlock is difficult to resolve.

However, Su Mingan is not an isolated island. If he cannot solve the problem alone, isn’t there a fellow traveler who shares the same perspective as the World Master?

"I agree." Su Mingan said.

"A wise choice." The Lord clasped his hands together, seeming very happy.

"What should I call you?"

"If you don't mind, you can do it." The Lord said, "Of course, you can also call me Wen... Wenjun. This is my name."

He opened his hand, and there was a purple rose cufflink in his palm:

"This is proof of your cooperation with me. I hope you will always wear it. It is also a symbol of our friendship."

Su Mingan put it on his left sleeve and asked casually, "What will happen if I take it off?"

The Lord's tone deepened: "That means our cooperation has broken down."

Su Mingan said: "If I had not agreed to cooperate with you just now, what would you have done?"

"You already know so much information. It's a bit worrying if you want to withdraw." The Lord smiled, his tone still gentle: "... I might keep you and drink tea with you until we start cooperation."

...I knew it.

Su Mingan's sense of crisis was indeed correct. Although the World Lord had a humble attitude and seemed to have completely handed over the initiative to Su Mingan, in fact, the World Lord had locked in this result from the beginning.

As early as when Su Mingan first met the World Lord, the World Lord had made all the necessary preparations.

First, set up the psychological suggestion that "sending a flower is the first round, the red shawl is the second round, and the crown is the third round."

Second, carefully consider the depth of information you reveal in each round, and only reveal fixed information in each round. If Su Mingan directly gave the crown to the World Master in the first round, the World Master would definitely be able to find out that Su Mingan did not know the information in the second round during the communication, and then judge that Su Mingan was playing tricks.

Third, if Su Mingan didn't come at all and chose to escape directly, as long as Su Mingan was firmly controlled within the return range of Samanthi University, the World Master would be able to control Su Mingan's range of movement.

Even though it was still uncertain whether Su Mingan would return, the Lord had already made such a thorough preparation, which made people feel scared when they thought about it carefully. If Su Mingan did not return, the Lord might have other preparations... such as Luo Vasa's resurrection technique.

“I’ll ask the Godfather to come find you later. He’s good at sealing techniques.” The Lord of the World sat down again, leaning against the statue of the goddess. His eyes became lazy again, as if the sharpness just now had never appeared.

"How much strength will I retain?" Su Mingan asked.

"The lower your strength, the more difficult the mission will be, and the higher the mission reward will be." The Lord of the World smiled and said, "But don't worry, the sealing technique will only take effect during the Disciple Game. I have calculated the most cost-effective value... It is about 1500 combat power. Can you accept it?"

...1500 combat power.

Su Mingan touched his chin. If it only takes effect during the Disciple Game, it is acceptable. After all, there are so many monsters in the Disciple Game. Those who should not be defeated will not be defeated, and those who should be defeated can be defeated. This can be exchanged for more powerful task rewards, which is extremely cost-effective to equip in reality.

However, in this way he will not be able to protect the 2021 version of Su Mingan well.

Suddenly, the Lord raised his head and looked out the window, his golden eyes narrowed slightly:

"Have you had your tea?"

"Drink it." Su Mingan said.

"Well," the Lord said, "you don't have to give me the crown. I deliberately gave you a confusing answer to prevent you from being petty... Bring me a cufflink, any cufflink will do. I'll understand at a glance."

When the Lord said this, it meant... this week was over.

Su Mingan's heart tightened... The Lord of the World really had planned everything out. If Su Mingan had just coveted the information and had come directly to the Lord of the World with the crown, skipping the red shawl, I'm afraid that "extreme measures" would have been taken against him by now.

The next time they meet, they don't even need to reveal any intention of "targeting the world game". As long as the World Lord sees the cufflinks brought by Su Mingan, he will know that they have discussed it for three full weeks and reached a cooperation.

The Lord of the World wanted to burn Su Ming'an with flames, but he didn't expect that a sword blade like crystal suddenly broke through the stained window, pierced through the Lord of the World's abdomen, and with a "ding" sound, nailed him firmly to the mural.

……

——The unknown pursuer is here.

……

The mural in the hall depicts the goddess of life killing the devil, and the Lord of the World is right on the cross in the mural, where the devil was executed.

He struggled a bit, more and more blood oozing from his abdomen. He put his hands on the sword, trying to pull out the blade, but his feet could not touch the ground. The weight of his whole body was hanging on the sword, and his breathing became rapid.

"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock."

The blade stuck firmly to the bone, and blood dripped onto the ground. He struggled a few more times, panting violently, pressing his abdomen, and smiled: "...It came a little too fast, but it's harmless..."

Su Mingan reacted immediately, touched the purple flame, and committed suicide.

The moment the flames burned his body, he saw a strange girl with long flowing hair and her whole body wrapped in light coming in through the window.

She was almost like a god. The light was so dazzling that when she looked indifferently at the Lord of the World on the wall, it was as if the gods were judging the demons who were trying to subvert the order.

In the eyes of the people of Ravasa, the Lord of the World is cruel, capricious, and has blood on his hands.

In the eyes of the gods, the Lord of the World blasphemed the goddess, allowed the demonic crisis to occur, acted recklessly, and turned against Tiangang.

From the perspective of the world game, the world master intervenes in the higher dimension in an attempt to subvert the order.

——No matter from which angle you look at him, he seems to be an undoubted "devil" who does not conform to the worldly definition of truth, goodness and beauty.

Under the gaze of the pursuer, the Lord slowly raised his head, his chin was covered with blood, and his golden eyes narrowed with a smile:

"Lovasa's undertaker, you are a step late."

"I deliberately let you pierce me with a sword this time, just to experience your strength... Indeed, it is enough to kill me with one sword. I can already feel the pain of suffocation..." He coughed a few times, gasping violently, and his hands gradually fell down:

“It’s fun, though.”

"When I meet you at a certain time, I will remember the feeling of this sword and deal with it in a targeted manner."

He looked at Su Mingan who was about to turn into ashes, smiled, slowly closed his eyes, and blood flowed down his neck.

……

"The afternoon sun is very bright today... It's perfect for sleeping..."

"I'll sleep for a while and wait to wake up..."

……

Purple flame burning.

The sky light reversed, and the sky became bright and clear.

……
