Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 72 - 69: He is a Legend

The six people present fell silent upon seeing the task theme.

Could this point... be what they’re thinking it is?

[Task Description: What exactly is the deepest hidden G-point? This question is something only your Strategy Character might know best. Please do not stop your pace of exploration! Find this secret spot, use it for you and them, to reap benefits!]

[Starting task countdown—]

[24:00:00—]

[23:59:59—]

Hmm...

After reading the task description, the six became even more silent.

Is this map even serious?

Whether it is or not, one thing’s for sure: it’s centered around the Strategy Character.

Given that... the five pairs of eyes in the room were all fixed on the man holding all the soul dolls of the characters.

"Guild Leader, what should we do now?"

Wen Nan propped his chin with one hand, pondering over the task description,

"For this task, my intuition tells me the key point should be—do not stop your pace of exploration.

"Given that, we’ll split up, the map and the characters will be explored simultaneously—

"You’ll handle the map part, and I’ll take care of the character part."

Wen Nan’s plans were well laid. The dull task of map searching was left to the members, while matters of romance fell upon him, the Guild Leader, as a noble duty.

Even if the members had any objections or complaints, they could only swallow them, for he was the Guild Leader.

But, as it turned out, Wen Nan was overthinking things.

The five members, upon hearing his arrangement, simultaneously looked at him with gratitude, confidence, and admiration.

"Guild Leader, you’re the most considerate leader for your members I’ve ever seen."

"The leader takes on the toughest, dirtiest tasks for himself yet gives us the simplest, lightest ones. I never expected this."

"When signing the contract earlier, I had my doubts. Now I see, it was my narrow-sightedness, underestimating you."

"The Guild Leader’s vision is far beyond ours!"

"Guild Leader, we know that in the initial stages of establishing the guild, you’ve aimed to set an example and lead from the front to stabilize the morale. However, as one of the oldest members, I feel obligated to remind you—please take care of your health!"

Wen Nan squinted his eyes at his members, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

He’s never led a team before; the highest position he had was the group leader of their condition discussion group.

Is this what being a leader feels like?

Even the flattery from the subordinates is so boundless? Saying black is white?

For such hypocritical flattery, Wen Nan expressed...

Bring it on, the Guild Leader loves it.

However, seeing the countdown above, Wen Nan decided to focus back on the topic.

"According to the task description, we still need to gather clues from the Strategy Characters; I’ll extract the clues from them and then hand them over to you.

"Our guild has an internal chat group; keep an eye on the messages there in real time, and report any issues or progress at any time.

"Additionally, there’s an even more important task I hope every member keeps in mind—"

At this point, Wen Nan deliberately paused, waiting until all the members looked nervously at him, then continued:

"As a newly founded guild, recruiting new members is our primary task at this stage.

"During map exploration, every one of you must remember, if you see anyone along the way, whether they are Strategy Characters, NPCs, or even background characters without lines, if they look like they have any intelligence, you must ask: are they interested in joining our guild?"

Hearing this, the five members fell silent.

Is the Guild Leader... desperately seeking recruits? Asking even the background characters?

When he didn’t get a response, Wen Nan asked again:

"Did everyone hear clearly?"

The other five immediately stood up straight and shouted in unison:

"Heard it clearly!"

"Good, very spirited." Wen Nan nodded, glanced at the countdown above, "Now, set off."

...

...

With the release of the first main quest, six live streams simultaneously opened in the system community.

In the livestream of Ye Jiu, the viewer count quickly climbed.

[Here they come, here they come]

[A day feels like three autumns without seeing them]

[Holy cow, is this an LV.5 map?]

[Damn, first time seeing such a high-difficulty beginner instance]

[Holy crap, look at what the streamer is holding!]

[Soul dolls?! Six of them?!]

[Why on earth would such an insane item appear in a beginner instance?]

[Otherwise, how could this instance be rated LV.5 in difficulty?]

[What are soul dolls? Are they those action figures the streamer is holding? What’s their purpose? Are they very scary?]

[Soul dolls trigger soul threads, gather five, and you can summon Shenron]

[Don’t joke, summoning Shenron is nonsense; triggering all five soul threads activates a plot, reverting the celestial order, and when that plot occurs, the player will wish for anything but to survive]

[Wish for anything but to survive? That scary?]

[Yes. Do you know why it’s called reverting the celestial order? The dolls become masters, and masters become dolls. When the plot triggers, the player completely turns into the Strategy Character’s toy—consciousness remains, but the body is uncontrollable, trapped like in a coffin, watching helplessly as the character manipulates you, with nothing you can do. Worse still, your senses remain intact, experiencing external pain, and yet you’re as manipulated as a marionette.]

[That scary? Gosh, if I triggered such a plot, I’d rather delete my account]

[It’s true. I’ve heard that once the soul threads trigger on a map with soul dolls, the best outcome for a player before reverting the celestial order starts is to commit sui|cide; otherwise...]

[I’m faint-hearted, don’t scare me]

[It’s that terrifying? If it were me, I’d do anything to get rid of that soul doll]

[Wishful thinking; if it were that easy to ditch, would it still be called a soul doll?]

[But haven’t the five people in this map successfully handed their soul dolls to the streamer?]

[Yes, that must have required such a great favor, making the streamer willing to sacrifice themselves for them. Did they trade resurrection cards for it?]

[Don’t be ridiculous, there are only three resurrection cards in the entire game world; I’ve been trapped in the spectator seats for years and never seen one] ƒrēenovelkiss.com

[Instead of focusing on what others offered the streamer, consider how the streamer will survive after recklessly taking six soul dolls]

[Yes, it seems they’ll be torn to shreds by the six soul dolls before completing even the first task]

[This will definitely end up bad]

[Game over right at the start]

[Is this your first time in this stream? Responsible old viewers from the trial maps will tell you it won’t be. This streamer always surprises you!]

[Yes, because this man’s name is Ye Jiu, and he’s a legend]
