Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 798 - 384: The Truth of the Real World_1

Yunjing City, the Apostles’ Council headquarters building.

In the office, Li Long handed a shining bookmark to the young man in front of him, reminding him, "Lin Xun, the Disciples’ War is about to start."

"In every Disciples’ War, there are always Disciples who die. In the last war, although the death rate was lower, three Disciples and numerous followers still died in the conflict."

"You... must be extremely careful!"

Lin Xun took the ’Escape Bookmark’, responded solemnly, "Don’t worry, Uncle Li, I won’t act recklessly if things look bad."

The risk of the Disciples’ War needs no elaboration. In many ways, the war is much more dangerous than the Disciples’ election, tenfold, even hundredfold!

In all the past Disciples’ Wars combined, the number of Disciples killed could possibly form a reinforced battalion.

If a Disciple dies during the war, the followers under his command would also be forcibly wiped out, further escalating the death toll!

An emergency escape item like the ’Escape Bookmark’ could help one get out of a dire situation.

However, using such an item would mean withdrawing from the Disciple’s War and relinquishing one’s Discipleship. Even the controlled territories would be recovered by the Rectification Council.

For Disciples who hold supreme power in the New World, this can be more painful than death.

To put it in simple terms, if ’my lord’ is the emperor of the New World, then the Disciples would be his ministers. Despite having enormous power, their life and death are ultimately controlled by his single thought.

What he gives, he can take away in an instance.

Even if one is the top Disciple, one must still participate in the extremely dangerous Disciples’ War.

Unless, one could survive multiple Disciples’ Wars and reach a certain realm, only then could one be exempt from this brutal and perilous bloodbath.

"Uncle Li, I have a question. Has no one been able to become the first Disciple and get out of Disciple’s War?"

Where there are Disciples who die in war, vacancies are created.

The surviving Disciples then get promoted according to these vacancies, and the last vacant position is refilled through a re-election.

Like the tenth Disciple, Andrew, the eleventh Disciple, Amos, and the twelfth Disciple, Cain, all became Disciples through re-election after the last Disciples’ War.

Lin Xun had asked Amos this question, but Amos, being new to the organization himself, didn’t know much more than Lin Xun did.

His superior Vesinu, however, refused to elaborate. He told Lin Xun to survive the upcoming Disciples’ War and then he would learn about the secrets of the organization.

Li Long did not immediately answer, instead he asked, "Lin Xun, have you cleared the sixth difficulty level yet?"

His female superior, Li Xingyue, already knew that he had advanced from the fifth to the sixth difficulty level.

Having been in the organization for a while, Lin Xun and Li Long were familiar with each other and there was no need for secrecy.

"Uncle Li, I cleared the level a few days ago and haven’t had a chance to report it to you."

"Were you in the Ordinary Level or Nightmare Level?"

Lin Xun was stunned. Without thinking he responded, "Of course, not in the Ordinary Level."

"Considering your extraordinary talent, I can imagine that you wouldn’t waste your time challenging Ordinary Level." Li Long continued, "Now is not the time. After you have successfully cleared the Nightmare Level of the seventh difficulty multiple times, you might have the opportunity to touch that kind of power."

"When the time comes, the Librarian will tell you part of the truth, and I will tell you everything about the reality."

All the apostles who achieved the level of congressmen or senior congressmen are elite apostles with unique talents.

As the Apostles deepen their guide to the game, the organization has gradually developed a relatively stable method to increase the difficulty.

Apostles first repeatedly clear the game in the Ordinary Level to ensure they can achieve an ’S’ rating. Then, they can level up.

But they are not advancing to the next difficulty, but to the Nightmare Level!

In the Ordinary Level, even if apostles achieve an ’S’ rating, they can hardly get any Sacred Objects, due to their uniqueness and their formation from the source of Doomsday. Unless a higher rating which has never been achieved in the Chapter can be achieved, then a higher level of Sacred Object can be obtained.

Therefore, for top-tier Apostles, the rewards in the Ordinary Level are somewhat lacking.

However, in the Nightmare Level, if you achieve an ’S’ rating, the possibility of getting Sacred Objects significantly increases.

Therefore, at the level of congressman, they usually challenge the Ordinary Level until they consistently get an ’S’ rating. Then, they increase the difficulty and enter the Nightmare Level.

Apostles constantly upgrade their abilities to repeatedly clear the Nightmare Level, until they manage to get some Sacred Objects. Then, they are able to level up their difficulty again.

This is the most stable upgrade strategy summarized by the official.

Of course, this strategy is only applicable to elite Apostles. It’s relatively useless to ordinary Apostles, as those who can make use of the strategy must all possess extraordinary talents...

After Lin Xun entered the core of the organization, he naturally learned about the existence of this guide. But it wasn’t of much use to him.

In some ways, Lin Xun is like ordinary Apostles—they all see no use in this secret guide.

Li Long figured, according to Lin Xun’s talent on paper, that he could touch the ’mysterious power’ when he has successfully challenged the Nightmare Level of the seventh difficulty multiple times.
