<h4>Chapter 209 Chapter208-The Alluring Room 8 (2nd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)</h4>
That meant bing an upper-ss noble with his ownnds...
...
Of course, to exchange Achievement Points for a title like a noble rank would likely only be possible in the game''ster stages.
For now, these Achievement Points served little purpose beyond being ornamental.
Their sole function was to earn some rewards from the game system with every update.
As John pondered, his gaze drifted to the other leaderboards.
On the level rankings, his position remained uncontested, far ahead of the rest.
Below him, the top ten yers in level rankings were now approaching level 100.
John surmised that once a majority of yers reached that milestone, the system would likely roll out a significant update.
On the equipment leaderboard, the top-ranked items were inextricably linked to John:
1st on Equipment Ranking: Divine Pce (Divine Weapon) - Level: 600, Owner: Anonymous yer.
2nd on Equipment Ranking: Woodmist Warchant (Legendary Weapon) - Level: 240, Owner: Anonymous yer.
3rd on Equipment Ranking: Serpent King''s de (Legendary Weapon) - Level: 200, Owner: Adam.
4th on Equipment Ranking: Holy Light Anthem (Legendary Bracelet) - Level: 230, Owner: Sno.
The number one ranked Divine Equipment, the Divine Pce, was, needless to say, in John''s possession.
Most of the remaining top ten legendary equipment items had also been crafted or procured by him.
It seemed that no high-level weapons or equipment had emerged recently.
What puzzled John, though, was the fact that his Asura Mask and the tattered cloak he wore on his back never made it to the equipment rankings.
It wasn''t due to John''s personal request; it seemed the system automatically overlooked these two pieces rted to the "Godyer" ss...
John skimmed through the other leaderboards, and to his surprise, the pet rankings had already featured a three-star pet:
1st on Pet Ranking: Bifrost Thunder Tiger (Three-Star) - Owner: Night Cycle.
Beyond the Bifrost Thunder Tiger, the rest seemed to be the mostmon one-star pets, which John didn''t examine further.
He pondered for a moment.
If his memory served right, this Night Cycle was the guild leader of the Cycle Guild, a yer whose background remained shrouded in mystery.
Being one of the top ten global elite guilds, few genuinely understood the inner workings of the Cycle Guild.
Even a veteran yer like John had only asionally heard rumors or tidbits regarding the Cycle Guild.
At thest auction that grabbed the attention of countless yers, Night Cycle, the guild leader of the Cycle Guild, was present.
Yet, strangely enough, he hadn''t participated in the bidding for any of the legendary equipment.
He merely secured some decently-statted epic equipment...
If John remembered correctly, Night Cycle was likely of a Summoner ss.
The hallmark of such sses was their prowess in manipting summoned creatures, instantly creating a numerical advantage on the battlefield.
Lost in thought, by the time John looked up, he found himself standing at the entrance of Silver Manor.
The ce bustled as ever, with a plethora of high-level yers and local NPCs flowing in and out.
Without hesitation, John stepped inside.
The attendant weing him was, once again, a "Enchantress" ss individual dressed as a bunny girl.
These alluring Enchantresses, with their gentle demeanors, exuded charm with every gesture.
Their scantily d attire, leaving much of their fair skin exposed, was almost provocatively inviting.
One couldn''t help but feel a warmth when ncing their way.
Their swaying waists as they walked seemed to enchant, drawing gazes irresistibly.
John followed quietly behind this particr bunny girl attendant, saying nothing.
On hisst visit, he''d been quite curious about the owner of Silver Manor. ording to Adam, the true power behind Silver Manor might very well be the Northern Myst Empire''s royal family.
Why they openly cultivated the Enchantress - an ancient ss that had been lost to time - was a mystery to everyone.
Soon, he was back at the familiar Room 8.
As John entered, he found Blue Sea and Adam already seatedfortably inside, with a stunning bunny girl attendant each by their sides, seductively feeding them fruits.
The alluring curves of their chests were pressed against the men''s arms.
The scene was tantalizing, to say the least.
Spotting the self-satisfied expressions on Blue Sea and Adam, John couldn''t help but curl his lips in disdain. Suchscivious old men...
Seeing John''s entrance, both Blue Sea and Adam simultaneously rose from their seats.
"Galewind, it''s been a while," Blue Sea greeted.
John returned a gentle smile and nodded in acknowledgment.
He deftly sidestepped the expectant gaze of the bunny girl attendant who had led him in, taking a seat on his own ord.
Adamughed heartily, winking and jesting, "Brother Galewind, you truly are immune to feminine charms. Such a beautiful maiden casting flirtatious nces at you, and yet you remain unmoved."
John shook his head in mild exasperation. "Let''s not go there. I''ve always maintained a respectful distance from NPCs in the game, no matter how captivating they might appear. To me, they''re just bundles of data."
Adam and Blue Sea shared a sly grin.
"Isn''t that what makes it all the more immersive?" Adam remarked.
"Where in real life can you find women with such wless appearances?"
Blue Sea, smirking mischievously, added while brazenly slipping his hand into his bunny girl attendant''s neckline, "Don''t you think the female NPCs in Godyer feel incredibly real?"
His audacious fondling prompted the young woman to gasp, her face blushing deeply.
Adam, unable to resist, mirrored Blue Sea''s actions, and soon the room echoed with soft moans and giggles.
Witnessing the usually upright guild leaders on the verge of crossing a line with the attendants, John cleared his throat, an exasperated expression on his face.
"Could you two act a bit more dignified? We may be in a game, but there''s no need to be so unrestrained, is there?"
Both Adam and Blue Sea burst intoughter, halting their advances.
This, in turn, left the attendants slightly disappointed, their intrigued bodies still quivering from the stimtion.
The two bunny girls exchanged a sulky nce, pressing themselves even closer to their patrons.
John remarked with a touch of wistfulness, "Now I see why you two always choose this manor for your rendezvous. Such luxuries are indeed hard for any man to resist."
Adam winked, a yful grin on his face, "Yet, didn''t you just resist, Galewind? Seems not all men are tempted by beauty."
John took a contemtive sip of the wine in his ss, the same exquisite taste he remembered fromst time.
[You''ve consumed the Premium Dragon''s Tongue Wine. Speed +100, Strength +50. Duration: 1.5 hours]
With a casual shrug, he replied, "Don''t paint me as too righteous. I''m simply not interested in the NPCs of this game."
Blue Sea chimed in,ughing, "Adam, did you forget about that girl who apanied Galewind during our trip to Sunset Mountain? With such a gem by his side, it''s only natural he''d be unimpressed by the mere glitter here."
Adam''s face brightened with realization.
John, on the other hand, shook his head in amusement.
"It''s odd," he mused. "Both of you hail from prominent families in the real world. Aren''t there any real women you could associate with? Why resort to toying with NPCs in a game?"
Perhaps touching a nerve, both Adam and Blue Sea simultaneously wore a wry smile. "Do you really believe we lead hedonistic lives of endless parties and splendors in reality, Galewind?"
John raised an eyebrow, nonchntly questioning, "Aren''t you?"
Blue Sea responded with a bitterugh, "On the contrary. People like us have to tread even more carefully in real life. Countless eyes watch our every move, waiting for us to make a misstep."
John''s eyes widened in realization.
It seemed the lives of these wealthy heirs weren''t as perfect as ordinary people might imagine.
"Enough of that," Adam interjected, apparently eager to shift away from discussions about their personal lives. "Let''s move on to the matter at hand."
With a wave of his hand, Adam gestured for the two bunny girls to exit the room.
When the elegantly decorated chamber was left with just the trio, both Adam and Blue Sea simultaneously adopted solemn expressions.
Adam fixed his gaze on John, his voice deep and serious, "Galewind, was it you who achieved the deity''s first kill that was announced a few days ago?"
Blue Sea too, quietly stared intently at John.
Meeting their intense gazes with a smile, John nodded in affirmation.
Both men simultaneously inhaled sharply, exchanging nces filled with astonishment.
Although they had previously suspected the truth, hearing the confirmation from John directly still sent shockwaves through them.
After all, it was a deity...
The highest-level being on the Godyer Continent, the absolute ruler of this world. And a yer had actually in it?
How on earth had Galewind managed to do it?
Both Adam and Blue Sea were eager for details.
John, however, responded with an air of nonchnce, "It was simply good fortune. I happened upon a deity that was in a weakened state..."
