Wizard: I Have a Game Panel-Chapter 166 - 164: Performance, Exposing the Truth, Killing Four Birds with One Stone, Experiment
While asking questions, he took some time to open the sequence panel and glanced at it.
The Origin Points were still zero, indicating that communication did not yield Origin Points.
"The game helmet is..." Tiger Girl recounted the game helmet and everything related to the Celestial Horse Company as if spilling beans from a bamboo tube, without hiding a single detail.
The other players had no intention of stopping her, and instead watched Lor with increasing curiosity, eagerly anticipating his reaction.
Now they had basically confirmed that Lor was not the initial AI found in other games but exhibited a certain level of logic.
This discovery increased their curiosity significantly, and their interest in the game "Light of Truth" became even stronger.
"So, for you, this is a game?"
Lor feigned surprise while looking at Tiger Girl, "Are you immortal and can resurrect after death?"
"Can you let me experiment with it? Of course, there will be a reward for the task. How about ten thousand Magic Crystals?"
He intended to set an example for the Wizard Alliance from this moment, establishing a way to communicate with players.
At the same time, he aimed to build a generous image for himself, increasing his favorability among the players.
He also wanted to test whether task release and player killing could yield Origin Points.
A fourfold strike.
In fact, if he only wanted to appear generous to players, giving away 100 Magic Crystals would be enough.
But he was not just trying to fool the players; other legislators were watching in the future as well.
How could he offer so little? 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Didn’t he care about his reputation?
"Of course!" Tiger Girl, upon hearing this, immediately set the pain level to zero, nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of excitement.
Although she wasn’t sure what use Magic Crystals had for them, considering they were one of the wizard currencies, spending a thousand bucks to buy a resurrection item in exchange for ten thousand Magic Crystals was evidently a steal.
What’s this?
This is definitely a hidden task!
"I can do it too, Legislator Lor, look at me!" Wind Chime in the Forest, seeing the situation, immediately shouted.
He also wanted this hidden task!
"Me too, me too," Xiao Qiu Loves Fish chimed in.
"Legislator Lor, I..."
One by one, the players spoke up, competing for the chance to become the experiment subject.
Lor ignored the noisy other players, and his Spiritual Power touched the Fireball Technique module in the Sea of Consciousness’ Origin Container.
Slight Space Elements transformed into Fire Elements, converging at his fingertips into a small spark, swiftly shooting towards Tiger Girl.
"Whoosh—"
The spark landed on Tiger Girl, incinerating her into ashes almost instantly.
During this process, Lor even pretended to scan the expressions on other players’ faces.
Hmm, as expected, they were all showing disappointed and regretful faces.
Missing a hidden task, wouldn’t that be regretful?
While feigning indifference, he glanced at the sequence panel.
Still no Origin Points.
It seemed that killing players and releasing regular tasks were useless.
Lor suddenly felt a bit of a headache; he now only had three backup methods left.
One was to have players kill ordinary creatures, another was to have players slay a demon, and third was to have these players learn his witchcraft.
Ordinary creatures were easily sorted; the town had chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep, brought by Agular through tasks from areas in the continent’s center where demons hadn’t invaded.
As for live demons, it depended on whether Bruno and Ron still had any left.
If necessary, he’d have to take a player for a tour of the continent’s edge.
Unless absolutely necessary, Lor didn’t want players to encounter Space Witchcraft so early.
Because the Destruction Traits would cause significant damage, and players’ unpredictability was high, making it impossible to explore Space Runes yet.
Therefore, if he couldn’t obtain Origin through the first two methods, he planned to hold off, continuing once he reached the Fourth Ring.
Suppressing his thoughts, Lor turned to other players and asked, "Everyone, how long does it take for her to revive?"
"Very soon!" Xiao Qiu Loves Fish responded quickly, "In at most a few minutes, she will resurrect. Do you have any other tasks?"
After speaking, she looked eagerly at Lor, hoping to trigger another hidden task.
"Yeah, just need to recharge, it won’t take long," Wind Chime in the Forest also nodded.
"If you have any other tasks, please assign them to me."
"I also..."
The atmosphere among the players was even more exuberant than before, all looking at Lor eagerly.
"Uh, I really do have a task," Lor said, smiling, "but there’s no rush, let’s wait for her to revive first."
While speaking, he used his Spiritual Power to send a mental message to a middle-aged female apprentice in the distant town, instructing her to bring a sheep over.
"Alright then."
Xiao Qiu Loves Fish nodded regretfully, then turned to a nearby girl with exquisite features and whispered, "Countryside, isn’t Lor too intelligent? Do you think advanced AI could really reach this level?"
The girl, with the ID Pastoral Song, was her game friend and also a research assistant at the Alliance Science Academy.
The reason she entered this game was due to insistence by her friend.
This friend was also lucky enough to get a beta test qualification, even though she signed up late.
"It should... be possible?" Pastoral Song said uncertainly, blinking her eyes.
Heaven have mercy, she was just a small assistant; how could she possibly come into contact with such things?
But to show off in front of her friend, she could only respond with feigned confidence.
"I see." Xiao Qiu Loves Fish sighed, "I thought maybe this was really an alternate world disguised as a game by Celestial Horse Company for us to act as pathfinders."
Her speculation didn’t come from nowhere.
After all, whether on the market or in research reports released by the Academy, there had never been anything that could create a 100% real virtual world.
But Celestial Horse Company inexplicably created such a game, which seemed unreasonable in every way.
The only explanation was that this was a real alternate world.
"Have you read too many novels?"
Pastoral Song rolled her eyes, "Even if this is truly an alternate world, it would be discovered by the Alliance first, then developed by sending the Alliance Army."
"How could it possibly be made into a game for us to play freely?"
"Right." Xiao Qiu Loves Fish nodded, highly agreeing, then cast her thoughts aside and eagerly observed the Void Realm Witchcraft encircling Lor.
If possible, she’d also like to follow Lor’s Witchcraft Faction in the future.
The Godslayer Meteor had left her with an unparalleled shock.
However, judging from the second scene, Lor seemingly hadn’t established a faction, which was a bit disappointing.
The two women engrossed in conversation didn’t notice the slightly moved expression on the resolute young man’s face behind them as he overheard their dialogue.
Nor did they catch Lor, ostensibly overlooking them from ten meters up in the air and subtly curling his lips into a faint smile.
It had to be said that this blogger Xiao Qiu Loves Fish did have quite the imagination.
She had somehow managed to stumble upon a hint of the truth so quickly.
Unfortunately, after guessing the truth, she self-negated the facts implied by this truth due to her partner’s interference, and returned into the illusion.
Just as everyone was chatting, a slender figure silently appeared among them.
This figure was none other than Tiger Girl, who had completed the recharge, purchased a resurrection item, and returned.
"Hey, where are my Magic Crystals?" Returning Tiger Girl first checked her panel, noticing no changes.
She then tried calling on the backpack, only to realize that this game didn’t have one, and immediately felt a bit lost.
She had completed the task; where were her ten thousand Magic Crystals?
She had spent a thousand bucks to get those ten thousand Magic Crystals!
Finding no Magic Crystals, she could only look up and eagerly at Lor, hoping he would provide an answer.
Lor waved a hand, directly retrieving ten thousand Magic Crystals from the Space Ring and piling them below, looking at Tiger Girl with a smile, "This is the reward I promised you."
"Baa—"
Right as Lor took out the Magic Crystals, a frightened sheep’s bleat came from not far away.
Except for Tiger Girl, who was charging towards the pile of Magic Crystals, the other players all looked towards the direction the bleat came from.
They saw the returning Female Wizard Apprentice who had been there earlier, now holding a floating sheep in mid-air.
