Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 14: Sowing Discord

The group couldn’t help but misunderstand; they guessed correctly after all.

This Josh was indeed deliberately deceiving people to cover up; she was definitely more than just F-level.

Luckily, they didn’t act rashly.

Chat comments: [They’re really dumb...]

Josh shared the information she’d observed: "Whether it’s Fuer or other animals, you can build goodwill. Feel free to increase your goodwill, but remember, after doing so, we must return here by 7 a.m. to share intel."

The others showed a look of surprise; they didn’t know even animals could have their goodwill increased.

Huang Bairen gave them a knowing look.

The group nodded, "Alright, let’s do as you say."

Josh nodded, and the group split up to take action.

The chat was filled with people calling her dumb.

[She just shared all the intel, yet hopes others will listen to her?]

Josh slightly lifted her eyelids, "As long as they’re more obedient than my internet sons."

[Aren’t you a bit naive? What if others build up more goodwill with Fuer before you do?]

[Way to mess up such a good hand; you were the one with the most information, and now you’ve turned from proactive to reactive, way to go!]

Josh slightly lifted her eyelids: "Oh yeah, right, I’m just afraid of playing my hand too well and you accusing me of mocking your IQ, making it hard for you to understand." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

[Sarcastic much, huh? What a friggin’ annoying Garbage Star loser, so cocky too. I’m just waiting to see how you fail.]

[If you’re so tough, let’s see you kill someone single-handedly offline! You better survive the dimension, or I swear I’ll stop you.]

Josh tucked the stray hair behind her ear, "Terrifying, first time in my life a grade schooler challenged me to an offline fight, I’m really scared you’ll jump up and hit my kneecaps."

[How the hell did you know I’m in grade school?]

[Off-topic question, how did you know the guy above is in grade school?]

Josh sneered, "Take a guess."

She couldn’t be bothered to argue with a schoolkid, so she turned off the chat.

The others were busy at work.

Once they realized that NPCs’ goodwill could be increased, it was like they saw a new path and got very enthusiastic.

a.m.

Everyone gathered together.

Huang Bairen was about to speak.

Josh interrupted him, "Not so fast, come with me, I have something to tell you privately."

The group was a bit taken aback.

Huang Bairen followed her across from the pool on the spectators’ side, while the others watched from the stands.

Josh looked at him, "You know, there are only four advancement slots left. Aside from me, I can take three people with me to advance."

Huang Bairen nodded, "I know."

Josh: "So, among your subordinates, at least one won’t be able to advance and will have to be sacrificed here."

Huang Bairen’s face turned grave.

Josh casually glanced at the three people on the spectators’ side and then looked back, patting Huang Bairen, "I definitely will advance; it’s impossible for all four of you to leave. You must choose someone to sacrifice."

Huang Bairen’s face turned cold, "That’s my business. You don’t need to worry about it."

Josh smiled, "This game, we’re all still at the starting line. I saw you as smart, so I told you. The items we get will be synthesized into our initial weapons when we leave. The quality of these items will determine the quality of the weapons. You understand, right?"

A look of surprise flashed across Huang Bairen’s face; he wasn’t aware of that either.

He thought the items were just one of the passing conditions.

It also means that even if you advance, it’s not over. To have better development, you need higher quality items in the instance.

The four of them each had varying quality items...

Josh looked at him and smiled, "I guess your companions don’t know this either. You can choose to hide it; I won’t tell them. But you can also choose to tell them."

"What I want to tell you is that people are selfish. The synthesized weapon quality will affect your entire game’s combat strength. Maybe you’re selfless, but your friends won’t necessarily be."

"Moreover, the highest quality item must be on Fuer and not just one. If it’s just the two of us cooperating, the high-quality items will be enough for both of us. You’re a smart person; we can continue to cooperate after leaving."

Huang Bairen was moved, not just by the items but by the implications for future instances.

He initially brought these people through the newbie instance simply because they all came from Garbage Star.

They agreed to clear the task together.

But the game’s danger level increases, and they would become a burden someday.

He has the freedom to find new teammates.

Josh smiled subtly, with an understated allure, "You’re so capable; honestly, I only want to cooperate with you. As a gesture of good faith, I can tell you there’s definitely a connection between Fuer and that octopus, but I haven’t figured it out yet."

Huang Bairen put on a serious face, "Alright, I’ll cooperate with you."

Josh’s lips curled, "That’s settled then. We’ll share information between us, but as for information shared with them, it depends on the circumstances; they can’t know everything."

Huang Bairen nodded, "Alright."

Josh said, "I triggered the monkey’s subtask, what about you?"

Huang Bairen: "I observed Fuer for a long time today and found she seems to dislike water animals. It’s likely her family was harmed by something in the water."

Josh raised an eyebrow, "Let’s keep this info hidden; I’ll share my findings."

Huang Bairen nodded.

The two returned to the spectator area.

Josh started, "Let me share my findings first; I triggered a subtask to rescue a little monkey, but I don’t know if there’s a reward yet."

Huang Bairen: "I didn’t find anything."

As soon as he spoke, the others fumbled around awkwardly as well.

Green Hair: "I groomed the lion all night and only got two points of goodwill, didn’t trigger any task. The lion told me it prefers warm, dry places."

Zhu Yongchang was silent for a moment, "I got nothing too."

Qian Duobao scratched his head, "I gave a banana to the monkey, and it told me to scram."

Green Hair was dissatisfied, "So only I was actually doing something successful?"

After exchanging information, everyone was a bit unwilling.

Josh said, "I have an idea, but I need your cooperation."

Huang Bairen: "What’s the idea?"
