<h4>Chapter 28: Version Update</h4>


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    While there was a little squabbling over the matter of stealing kills, the two batches of yers stillbined smoothly and allowed Xi Wei a breath of relief.


    With that, the first hurdle was ovee, and Xi Wei did not have to worry about his new religious faction destroying itself in its infancy.


    “Leah Yakaran... the princess of the fallen kingdom is still quite far from starter vige. She probably needs more time to arrive... huh. In other words, the main quests the yers could do now is carry bricks and build houses, or explore the outer reaches of the Valley of the Tragic Dead.”


    Xi Wei extended a tentacle to scratch the bald upper part of his spherical form. “But the skeleton legion that invaded this time is unusual. I just feel there it’s not so simple, perhaps I could assign it as a side quest to have the yers investigate...”


    Given that every yer in the world below were all basically Xi Wei’s eyes, he would know when they find anything. He would just have to adjust the quest as the situation unravels.


    Moreover, aftering into contact with the other yers, Angora also understood that his System was different from the others, and certainly not improved module like Eleena’s.


    If he had to put a finger on it, it was like the difference between role-ying games and simtors...


    Still, in Xi Wei’s perspective, Angora was less a yer and more the vige head NPC who assign missions to yers and have them help establish starter vige together.


    It was a process that benefited Angora himself as well. When his fief prospers, the rewards he would receive as a lord would naturally grow.


    And at the moment, a point of caution was to not expose the town as a base for believers of God of Games (who were cultists in other churches’ perspectives) and bring on their own destruction.


    The other was to ensure that the yers did not enter the Valley of the Tragic Dead without restraint.


    It was not that Xi Wei has been reluctant to let the yers purge that wretched ce—in fact, he hoped more than anyone else that the yers would easily clear the entire valley since it was the former battlegrounds of the gods. They just might be able to retrieve things such as broken divinities, allowing Xi Wei to im more divinities without the risk of having to attack the other gods.


    Still, the interior of the Valley of the Tragic Dead was filled with dangers. The former empire of Va had once dispatched ten thousand strong to explore the valley wafting with purple miasma with the intention of finding the Herb of Revival, a legendary nt said to resurrect others. Nheless, the expedition was almostpletely decimated by unknown creatures before they could delve deep into valley, with less than ten survivors making it out.


    Though the yers were now were high on morale, truth be told, Xi Wei could imagine the yers who were still in their early levels being wiped out entirely every ten feet inside the Valley...


    If that was the case, they would decrease in both EXP and level even if they could be revived. If they did things without restraint, the present situation where the yers’ average level stagnated would be a majority urrence, affecting Xi Wei’s ns for the future.


    It was also simple why Xi Wei was sure that the yers would select adventuring and not help the town construction efforts—when ying a game,pared to spending a dull four to five hours growing crops, wouldn’t a thrilling adventure with the potential of gaining rare dropped items so much more appealing? Moreover, seeking death was in itself engraved deeply into the DNA of yers, be it back on Earth or any other world.


    After all, Eleena’s party had been cautious when fighting monsters before they had attempted resurrection in fear that they would be the ones killed instead. However, after that one asion where Marni died and they tried Revive, they had be reckless as seen in their rescue of starter vige, reminiscent of their counterparts back on Earth.


    It was fortunate that the yers’ mindsets were no different from that of people in Earth’s own era of myths, and coupled with them being devout believers, their behavior could still be kept in check. Otherwise, Xi Wei would be really worried that they might drag him along with them in their self-destruction spiral.


    “Either way, I’ll just set it like this for now...” Xi Wei reached out with his tentacle, swiftly typing something into theputer he built with divine power...


    ***


    Almost right after they had finished clearing up the army of skeletons, the yers suddenly received a message from the System. All of them could therefore see it immediately with some who were having some ale pouring it into their noses.


    In contrast to the other yers who were left baffled, Eleena, who hade in contact with the System first carefully read through the message from her god.


    Ding!

    [Have fun!—The God of Games]


    The actual message was not very long, and Leah finished reading through it soon enough.


    The other yers were done as well, and now the town was bursting in lively discussion.


    “That must be an oracle, as told in legends!”


    “But the oracle I hear from the stories is not quite the same...”


    “Don’t ask. The God of Games is just awesome!”


    “Who’s Angora Faust? What’s with that weirdst name?”


    “This is the unnamed town? Why does it look like a vige instead?”


    “Isn’t that’s right? Not even my hometown is that bad!”


    The townsfolk of the unnamed town were all left staring nkly at the yers’ abnormal behavior. All of them looked simultaneously towards their leader that was Angora.


    After all, if it was not for his calmmand when the legion of bones invaded, they might all have died instead. Now, they now saw him as a real lord.


    More importantly, the reinforcements who were perfectly capable of fighting but behaved entrically hade answering his call...
