Chapter 82: Invisible Pretense, the Most Deadly

The final exam is over, and I can finally start updating.

This chapter is a transition. After all, I need some time to get the feel after not updating for four days.

—————————Inheritance Seal————————

On Bekas Island, during the "Ward Talk".

"This, Hui girl, I have some doubts about your introduction of the concept of 'liberation'. After all, I have also said before that the dueling rules used by the duelists in the 'Night World' are somewhat similar to what Li Zheng boy said. They... Oh no, we are also using the 'liberation' rules you mentioned, but we are used to calling it a 'sacrifice'. Why did Li Zheng boy specifically change this 'sacrifice' to 'liberation'?" On the bed, Bekas Yugi, wearing an eye mask, asked doubtfully. Hui and him had just discussed the relationship between the two uses of "liberation" and "sacrifice". Li Zheng asked Hui to change "sacrifice" to "liberation".

"..." After listening to Bekas's doubts, Hui raised his head, feeling Li Zheng's thoughts on this issue. In fact, Li Zheng had some selfish motives for thinking this way. If the rules did not change "sacrifice" to "liberation", then many of his cards would not be usable in this era, so he had to strive for this change to be agreed by Bekas.

After thinking about it, Li Zheng said to Hui: [Hui, you told Bekas this because of the first impression. If this game wants to attract more players, then there must be some more neutral words to interpret the meaning of these rules. The word "sacrifice" once had a bloody history in human history - sacrificing living girls as sacrifices to gods or something - although it does well interpret the process of offering low-level monsters to make high-level monsters descend, it will leave a bad impression in the hearts of those players who have not been exposed to this game, and to some extent weaken their desire to join the ranks of "duelists". With fewer players, the development of this game will slow down. "Liberation" is a more acceptable word, and it can also explain this concept to a certain extent - the power of weak monsters is liberated and becomes a stronger monster - this is easier for new players to accept. 】

After Li Zheng finished, Hui sorted it out and told Bekas.

"Well... there is indeed such a reason, it's great, Li Zheng boy." Bekas nodded and said with some appreciation: "However, I think 'sacrifice' is also a very good word. Let's make the rules in this regard vague. It can be both 'liberation' and 'sacrifice'. This will not only help attract new players, but also prevent those old players who have always used 'sacrifice' from losing their feelings."

Li Zheng heard this and couldn't help but sigh that the old ones are still the best. He did not consider it before. He only thought that "liberation" would attract new players more easily, but ignored that there are many ritual magic or "night world" duelists who are using the word "sacrifice". After using it for a long time, they will have a kind of feeling for this word. If it is changed casually, they may dislike this game. After all, the power of human habit is very strong.

"Well, that's it for now... Wait, I'll take a call." After saying this, Becas suddenly picked up the phone beside his bed - he didn't seem to like using mobile phones.

"Oh, is that so? That's a pity, no one was hurt, right? Well, okay, that's it, remember to keep the data, it might be useful one day." After Becas put down the phone, he squinted his remaining eye and said to Hui: "Soros called, I asked him and Yuexing to try the 'overdose' and 'synchronization' mentioned by Li Zheng boy. I just asked Soros and the others to try it. Guess what happened?"

Hui shook her head.

"The card machine in the laboratory exploded." Becas leaned back, as if it was more comfortable to lie like this. "To be precise, it exploded at the moment when the card was produced. Fortunately, no one was hurt."

Hui frowned slightly, feeling that this matter was not simple. After discussing with Li Zheng for a while, she slowly said: "Mr. Becas, maybe, the necessary conditions are missing."

Becas nodded and agreed: "I think so too. It seems that the world is telling me that it is not the time for these cards to be born... Well, since the plans of "Excess" and "Synchronization" have failed, let's continue to discuss the rules."

"Well, then the next one is this, the Allied Monster..." Hui nodded and said.

—————————Elemental Hero Flash Man————

After the "Ward Talk", Becas invited Li Zheng and Hui to visit his collection room, but this would have to wait until his injury healed. Hui expressed great honor for this.

After the conversation, in the Yin-Yang Fish, Li Zheng looked at his room, which was more than twice as luxurious, and was quite satisfied.

In the past, Li Zheng's room in the jade bracelet was a bedroom with only a bed and two doors. Now that he has moved to the Yin-Yang fish, Li Zheng's room has become a bedroom, a living room and a kitchen - although Li Zheng doesn't think this kitchen is of any use, it at least looks like a room - the door to Hui's inner world is in the living room, and the original "any door" has been moved to the bedroom.

Moreover, there are other gains.

[Ding! The main quest has been completed. Please check the reward. ]

[Ding! The hidden quest has been completed. Please check the reward. ]

[A usable spirit card has been found. Do you want to analyze it? ]

That's right. After the duel with Becas, the "Forbidden Holy Book" in Li Zheng's hand has become a spirit card! Li Zheng, who was puzzled by this, asked the system for an explanation of the "Forbidden Holy Book" before even checking the main storyline and the advent of the hidden quest.

[That's right, host, the "Forbidden Holy Book" did not "become" a spirit card. It just absorbed the power of the spirit card and finally evolved into a spirit card. 】The system explained with its usual electronic voice:【In the last duel, the "Forbidden Scripture" absorbed the power of "Archangel Christia" and "Demon of Sacrifice", of which "Demon of Sacrifice" provided the spiritual power pointer belonging to this world, and then the power of "Archangel Christia" from the same source as your "Forbidden Scripture" was used as a reconciliation. The combination of these two powers made the "Forbidden Scripture" accidentally become a spiritual card. However, I think it is very lucky to have such a thing happen once. 】

【Well, you are right. Then, how about I use this "Forbidden Scripture" to open the door of the "Human Spirit Hall" now? 】Li Zheng sat up, he glanced at Zero who was playing on the computer in his bedroom, waved his hand and asked Zero to bring the terminal.

"Oh my god, I'm dueling with my lovely Ling-chan! What are you doing here, you spoiler?" After Ling handed the terminal to Li Zheng, the terminal naturally started to complain, "Let me tell you, I used the power of the Dragon Conqueror this time, and just stacked the Giant Eye, and I can smash the computer with Ling-chan right away. What's the result? What are you doing suddenly?"

"Dragon Conqueror + Giant Eye? Smack, you have to do this to beat a computer without intelligence, it's really dirty." Li Zheng responded casually, and at the same time opened the "Spirit Hall System". Then, a door in the bedroom changed color, indicating that the "Spirit Hall System" was turned on.

"Dirty? Can the Dragon Clan's business be called dirty? Do you understand majesty?!" The terminal turned 60 degrees in the air, and when it was about to continue, it suddenly found that it had been temporarily taken over by a higher-level authority.

There is no doubt that the one who took over the terminal now is the system master.

[Of course it is possible, host, then, please follow me. 】The system said, it controlled the terminal with a higher authority, and took Li Zheng to the huge square again. This time, both Li Zheng and the terminal walked very fast, so after a while, Li Zheng came to the huge and somewhat dilapidated spirit temple.

【What should I do next? 】Li Zheng asked. He had taken out the "Forbidden Holy Book", which seemed to resonate with the spirit temple. The card was now emitting a faint light.

【Just open the "Spirit Summoning System" here. 】The system said: 【Next, the altar of the Spirit Summoning System will come. After placing the spirit card on the altar, I can take care of other things. 】

【OK. 】Li Zheng said, so he picked up the terminal again, turned on the "Spirit Summoning System", and starlight sprinkled from the sky. Although the square was always bright but people could not feel the warmth, it seemed to finally warm up. Li Zheng closed his eyes and felt the changes in the Spirit Temple Square at this time.

Just as Li Zheng was pretending to be invisible and closing his eyes to experience the changes in the spirit hall, a huge shadow was slowly descending from the sky, and the center of it was exactly Li Zheng.

"Boom!" A huge altar fell down and hit Li Zheng who was "pretending to be invisible"!

"I'm still young..." With a wail, the spirit Li Zheng behind him was killed by the altar, and the whole book is over!

...

...

...

Okay, the above is a lie.

[Will I die? ! If I wasn't a spirit, I would be a meat paste now! ] Standing on the top of the altar, Li Zheng looked at the terminal pretending to "look around" with a sad face - oh no, this guy is now the system - [You will feel uneasy if you don't mess with me one day, right? Why didn't you remind me just now? ]

[Well, host, it's because I know that you are a spirit that can't be killed that I didn't say anything. You are pretending to be cool, and disturbing others' pretense is an unforgivable crime. 】The system's electronic voice is really not funny at all when it jokes, it only makes people feel that it deserves to be beaten even more.

【What do you mean? ! Why do I sound like you are making fun of me? 】Li Zheng ignored the system's cuteness.

【Ding! The host unlocked the achievement "cool for less than three seconds" and got the exchange, congratulations! 】

【Who wants this kind of achievement? ! 】
