<h4>Chapter 193: Tease</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios


    <i>This hidden storyline seems to have something to do with digging the history. Logically, it shouldn’t result in a big impact, but since it’s the main storyline, could it be that there’ll be some shocking secret that’ll be dug up? </i>Han Xiao thought as he walked on the street.


    No matter what secrets there were, it was not his mission, and there were enough chances for him to explore it, but of course, the rewards were the most important part.


    Since the mission in Maple waspleted, Han Xiao left that very day. The threats that he had issued had resulted in the local intelligence institution carrying out a hidden investigation throughout the city, but because of the ‘godly assassination’ of a government official, the investigation was very thorough.


    Because they were in the same organization, Han Xiao brought Golden Fox and Ghost de as he retreated. Ghost de was unwilling at first, but the situation was severe, so he had topromise.


    Ghost de did not like the feeling of being protected by someone, so he was sulking most of the way.


    After sessfully leaving Maple, Han Xiao separated from the duo and rushed toward the cargo ne toward Farian without stopping. The yers in the novice viges of the Western Continent were still waiting for his arrival.


    The forum had exploded. The yers that were waiting for Han Xiao panicked and were worried that he would not being anymore. They started being superstitious and spammed posts in the forum to pray for Han Xiao’s arrival. The posts reached the astonishing number of 300,000. It was so terrifying that Han Xiao was worried that he might be buried in the sea of yers.


    Some of the yers started to y with memes.


    “Youngster, did you drop this ck Phantom, this White Phantom, or this Yellow Phantom? Hmm, you’re an honest child. To reward you, you can exchange your money to learn skills.”


    “Shhh, look at what I found, there’s a ck Phantom that is different from the others. We can try to capture it. One ck Phantom could provide us with energy for many days. But it is not easy to deal with. We have to quietly close in from its back... Ahhh, I’ve been discovered. Help, it wants to eat me, run Calvin!”


    “ck Phantom used Death Stare. It was super effective.”


    Finally, after tens of thousands of summons, the Great Mechanic Han Xiao arrived at a novice vige. The yers waiting for Han Xiao there were countless, much more than any other novice vige.


    The moment he appeared, yers rushed over like an avnche. People who did not know might even have mistaken them for a locust gue.


    Han Xiao looked at the level of the yers—they were at an average of level ten. The hundreds of top-level yers on the forum have already reached LV 18; Maple Moon was one of them. With the help of the Great Mechanic Han, she had been the biggest winner of the prize pool.


    However, other yers also had their own opportunities. The number of people at the same level was not small, but most of them were yers from other countries on other novices. Aquamarine was the base camp of China’s esports clubs, but the number of their yers at the top of the level leaderboard was the lowest. It was quite a pain for Han Xiao.


    <i>Disappointing,e on guys, buck up!</i>


    Then, he looked at the countless yers in front of him, pondered, and said, “What’s the use of leveling up fast? Being able to fight is the way to go.”


    <i>Hmm, nothing wrong with that.</i>


    Only yers from big guilds that were climbing the level leaderboard would be rushing their levels without upgrading their abilities. Other yers would not be doing the same. Even though leveling up was fast at the start, it would be slower as their level became higher.


    With the experience quota, Han Xiao had to think about the missions he gave out. If he wanted to cultivate one yer, he could make that yer grow at a much higher speed than anyone else, but he would not do that, at least not before the yers reach LV 20.


    Before LV 20, [Energy Training Technique] had a lot of market potential, so it was extremely profitable.


    ...


    Han Xiao taught abilities as usual, and the yers came swarming. Gaining experience points in novice vige was also a way of rxation for him, so he had time to browse the forums.


    On the forums, the poprity of Inhuman Phenomenon was over the top, and not only on Aquamarine. Simr situations had urred on others too, and yers received different treatments.


    On the Wizard, they were researched by the witches and were discovered to have a very high talent for sorcery, which was in fact the learning ability on the yer Interface. They then shockingly joined various sorcery academies.


    On the Ancient, they were seen as messengers of God and worshipped.


    On the Ice Winter... Oh, the yers in the Ice Winter were the safest. The devil species had no interest whatsoever in their unique characteristic of being able to revive after death, and when the yers saw the spaceships of the Space Devil species dash through the universe and breaking apart the meteors surrounding the for resources with their gravity capturing devices, they all understood why the reaction of the devil species was so normal.


    To the Extinguish Army, the strength of the yers was like an ant. Who would care about what an ant looked like?


    Of course, there was also the possibility that the devil species were used to seeing the ability to revive. No one knew for sure. It was all just spection anyway.


    Thes above were all very lucky, but Aquamarine was one of the unluckiests. NPCs were very fearful toward the yers. The yers were captured, experimented on, sliced to pieces, and brainwashed—they were treated like ves.


    yers being filled with hatred was a certain, and with the situation on Aquamarine, the yers had new spections.


    ck Phantom was probably apensation from the gamepany and producers!


    “No wonder! That’s why a character like ck Phantom only exists on our!”


    “Luckily, there is ck Phantom. If we didn’t have him, we would have nothing to y with!”


    Seeingments like this, Han Xiao smiled. His efforts did not go to waste.


    As he saw the expression in the yers’ eyes, he smiled even brighter, looking like a farmer who was looking at his harvest.


    The Inhuman Phenomenon on Aquamarine had arrived at a key stage. All the organizations were contacting the yers. Some of them were using a soft approach like Stardragon and He; there were also some that went for a colder approach like Raylen and Ordina; other militaries and financial organizations were taking action, too. It was not all bad for the yers, at least they had the opportunity to join an organization without having to run everywhere, and that was exactly what the yers did, with the Six Nations having most yers joining them.


    In Han Xiao’s previous life, the Germinal Organization had lured in the most yers, but now, their bases were all destroyed, and they could only capture yers in the local area of their headquarters. It was pathetic—their yer count was reduced by approximately eighty percentpared to his previous life.


    The Inhuman Phenomenon also lead to another change; the yers developed a hobby of teasing the NPCs. They became very curious and asked a lot of questions, and they liked to do things that were out of the line, wanting to see the reaction from the NPCs.


    yers had a lot of fun, but to NPCs, they were acting extremely weird.


    All the organizations did one thing at the same time—they added one line to the Inhuman documents. “Most Inhumans have a mental illness. Their actions are very random, and they might do anything. They cannot be judged with a normal mindset.”


    Han Xiao did not know to cry or tough when he saw this line on the Dark Net. There was another line that made him burst intoughter.


    “With research, the Inhumans have gender, but they do not have genitals and reproductive abilities.”


    The game did not allow yers to get naked, and from the NPCs’ perspective, it was like their underwear was part of their body, which was very iprehensible.


    Han Xiao wasughing uncontrobly. He could imagine how the organizations found out about this...


    Unable to reproduce, which meant that Inhumans were not a new species. Of course, there was a possibility that their way of reproducing was different from what the people on Aquamarine knew about. There were also all kinds of spections about the Inhumans on the Dark Net, with various emotions like terror, nervousness, and many others.


    Han Xiao noticed the once abandoned religion seemed to have rejuvenated. They imed Inhumans to be messengers sent by God to save the world.


    Some yers had the thought of teasing ck Phantom. Since ck Phantom was the guider of new yers, would he also be shocked like the other NPCs? Teasing an NPC was a fun thing to do.


    “ck Phantom, your name is Han Xiao, you served Stardragon before, and you are now a member of the Dark Net, am I right?” a yer named Flying Naughty Prawn suddenly said. He had seen the video from Bun-hit-dog and had an interesting idea. He wanted to expose ck Phantom’s identity right in front of him and see what would happen.


    There was no way for ck Phantom to know that his identity was exposed. When he saw a stranger stating his true identity, would he be shocked and lose his cool?


    Flying Naughty Prawn was staring at Han Xiao while snickering.
