Chapter 921: 977. Mysterious Realm on Sunday (15): Guessing the identity of the Behind-the-Scenes Boss

“I’m reading a book,” Zhong Feng said as he threw the book that was by his side to Su Yu:

“I bought this for 50 Shell currency from the old scholar in the village. It mainly records the history of our village. I’m trying to figure out if I can find that secret boss by starting with the history of Sun Village.”

Su Yu opened the book and saw that the records inside were all in Chinese characters.

It must be the secret realm’s adaptability, adjusting the language to Chinese characters for them.

“Have you come up with any results?” Su Yu asked.

“No,” Zhong Feng shook his head: “I just finished reading this book, and now I’m on the second reading. But so far, I haven’t found any useful information.

The history of Sun Village starts from about 800 years ago when the volcano behind us erupted once, leaving behind a large amount of fertile volcanic soil.

Because of this volcanic soil, the ancestors of Sun Village moved here to farm and fish, leading a peaceful life with little contact with the outside world…”

Zhong Feng briefly recounted what he had read, the gist being—

Sun Village is a settlement formed by the migration of the Blue People, with nothing special about it.

But in the past 100 years, the fertile volcanic soil had been exhausted from repeated use, and the villagers gradually shifted their production focus from farming to fishing.

“Volcanoes, huh?” Su Yu mused.

Could it be that the hidden boss plans to set off this volcano?

…

At this moment, Zhong Feng suddenly said, “Su Yu, before you left, actually two people had already gone out. Can you guess who they were?”

“Two other people?” Su Yu was surprised.

But he quickly guessed who they were: “It wouldn’t be Shepherd in the Clouds and Frost Red Tea, would it?”

Apart from him and Zhong Feng, these two were the most active among all the players.

“That’s right, it’s them,” Zhong Feng said with a smile: “When they left, they both told me they had guessed who the secret boss was, but they didn’t have any evidence.

So they took advantage of the darkness to go out in search of evidence.”

“Oh? Who do they suspect?” Su Yu immediately became interested upon hearing this.

He sat down on the railing next to Zhong Feng, curious, “What did they say?”

Zhong Feng put the torch back on the rack, and said with a smile: “These two suspect different targets.

Frost Red Tea thinks that the hidden boss of the secret realm is very likely a huge Elemental Fish King living in the lake.”

“Elemental Fish King?”

What kind of outlandish train of thought is this?

“Right,” Zhong Feng continued: “This Elemental Fish King switches its form periodically, such as water form, grass form, earth form, and all the other Elemental Fish in the lake are its offspring.

But recently, for some reason, the Elemental Fish King suddenly switched to fire form, and its offspring, the ‘Flaming Fin Fish,’ became more numerous.

The increase in Flaming Fin Fish, of course, affected the villagers’ food security.

Therefore, God summoned us adventurers to help catch fish, with the fish we catch being stored by Him to help the villagers through this crisis.

As for the Flaming Fin Fish being able to exchange for 10 times the amount of Red Shell Coins, that’s God encouraging us adventurers to prioritize catching the Flaming Fin Fish, to suppress the Elemental Fish King’s arrogance.

Moreover, the most important thing is that there are two key items on God’s exchange list—’diving suits’ and ‘Fireproof Stones.’

With these two items, we can dive to the bottom of the lake, combine our strength, and defeat the Elemental Fish King, which would net us the highest reward for clearing the challenge!”

“This…” After hearing this, Su Yu fell completely silent.

The analysis by Frost Red Tea was logical and convincing; he couldn’t find any flaws in it.

Could there really be an “Elemental Fish King” at the bottom of the lake?

Zhong Feng continued, “That’s why Frost Red Tea went to the lakeside to look for clues.

He believed that there must be adventurers who disregarded warnings and went out to fish at night; he wanted to see what happened to these people.”

“Hmm,” Su Yu seriously memorized Frost Red Tea’s analysis. Could this be the answer to the secret realm?

At the same time, he asked, “Zhong Feng, where did Shepherd in the Clouds go? You just mentioned that he suspects a different hidden boss than Frost Red Tea does, so who does he suspect?”

Zhong Feng smiled and answered, “The person Shepherd in the Clouds suspects is someone we have all met, and he is a very important NPC.”

“It couldn’t be… the Matron?” Su Yu considered a possibility.

“Exactly, his suspicion is the Matron,” Zhong Feng nodded and said:

“Shepherd in the Clouds particularly likes an old anime called ‘Detective Conan.’ Inspired by that show, he believes the hidden boss must be among us.

Firstly, the Matron is the only Fourth Order powerhouse in the village, while the rest of the native villagers at most possess Second Order pinnacle strength, without a single Third Order among them, which defies logic.

Secondly, he believes the gods initially provided adventurers with 50 portions of ‘Sun Essence,’ enough for one portion per person rather than the current 25 portions.

But the Matron altered the exchange list, changing ’50’ to ’25,’ and kept the remaining 25 portions of ‘Sun Essence’ for herself.

If we adventurers unite and kill the Matron, we will be able to obtain all 50 portions of ‘Sun Essence,’ thereby allowing all adventurers to pass through the secret realm safely.”

“Uh… this…” Su Yu couldn’t help but stroke his chin.

The hypothesis of Shepherd in the Clouds also seemed plausible. After all, it solved a key issue—how to ensure all participating adventurers in the secret realm survive.

But…

Su Yu looked at Zhong Feng and said with a wry smile, “Did Shepherd in the Clouds ever consider one problem—that with the Matron’s strength reaching Fourth Order, even if all adventurers fearlessly attack together, it’s likely we still couldn’t kill her!”

Zhong Feng nodded, “I mentioned this point to him as well, and he believes that there must be a method within the village to weaken the Matron; he left to search for this method.”

“Is that so?” Su Yu frowned and pondered for a while.

…

About three minutes later, he realized that there were parts of Shepherd in the Clouds’ hypothesis that didn’t make sense.

Although Shepherd in the Clouds addressed the issue of “all adventurers being able to leave the instance,” it didn’t explain why the gods would need to fish, nor did it account for the increasing number of Flaming Fin Fish in the lake.

It seemed they were still far from the truth!

…

Having reached this point in the conversation, Su Yu was completely awake.

With Shepherd in the Clouds and Frost Red Tea both out seeking the truth, he, as the commander, could not just sit idle.

Su Yu jumped down from the railing and declared earnestly, “Zhong Feng, I also plan to go out for a bit.”

“Oh? Have you guessed who the hidden boss is?” Zhong Feng perked up.

“No, I haven’t guessed. But, I intend to meet someone.”

“Who?”

“Jenny,” Su Yu replied, “I feel that Jenny is not just a simple guide; she surely has other roles in the secret realm. I intend to find out more about her.”

“Finding out more…” Zhong Feng’s mouth twitched, hoping Su Yu wasn’t planning to do something inappropriate.

However, he didn’t refuse and waved his hand, “Alright, go early and return early.”
