Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 929 - 436 The Goodwill of Multivision Association

Chapter 929: Chapter 436 The Goodwill of Multivision Association

Lin Xun pondered for a long time before he came back to his senses.

The two versions of the prophecies were diametrically opposed, seeming as though they might have been deliberately fabricated by two opposing Schools.

It also felt ridiculous, as if by covering all possible answers, they would never be wrong.

Yet the leaders of both Schools were figures of Divine Level status; would they make careless prophecies for such reasons?

A Prophet is called so because what they know precedes common knowledge.

Therefore, the two different versions of the prophecies likely represented two different futures foreseen by the Great Prophets, which were the most probable outcomes.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the Prophets, no matter what choices the messenger made, the end would not escape the content of their prophecies.

But, in Lin Xun’s view, he still preferred the prophecy of the Polyvision School a bit more.

From analyzing the content of the prophecy, it seemed that the Polyvision School had no reason to harbor ill will towards him.

[...]

[After the Scholar took his seat, ’Sage Randor’ continued speaking. The Great Prophet had foretold the arrival of the messenger and the salvation of the world, but the Direct View School attempted to use rumors and fallacies to negate the future where the messenger would save the world, even portraying the messenger as a terrifying Evil God.]

[If the lunatics of the Direct View School find the messenger first, the consequences would be unthinkable!]

[The audience below nodded in agreement, and you could hear many muttering curses at the stupidity of the Direct View School, with some appearing restless as if they wanted to leave the hall immediately to search for the True God’s messenger.]

[Sage Randor’ gestured to calm the agitation and spoke loudly, saying it understood everyone’s feelings and announced some good news!]

[That was, the True God’s messenger had already been in secret contact with the president of the Association, and was now under the protection of a Great Sage. The crazies of the Direct View School had no chance whatsoever.]

[With the messenger’s consent, the Association would hold a grand banquet in three days, and the True God’s messenger would also be in attendance!]

[With the support of the messenger, our School will surely surpass the Direct View School and become the sole legitimate School under the True God’s command!]

[Every Scholar present will be able to participate in the grand banquet in three days and witness the savior appointed by the True God with their own eyes!]

[Upon hearing this, many Scholars in the audience were visibly excited, their eyes glowing, and cheers echoed throughout the hall...]

[You could hear the Scholars around you gossiping. No wonder the Association had issued an urgent notice; it turned out they had found the True God’s messenger!]

[Yes, as long as the School has the support of the messenger, it would be favored by the True God. In the future, whenever they come across those bird-brained Direct View folks, they would look down on them.]

[The messenger’s choice to come to us instead of the Direct View Association is surely a divine revelation, indicating that the Polyvision School is the one supported by the True God!]

[...]

Lin Xun frowned, sensing trouble.

He had never been in contact with the Polyvision School. Why would the Sage deceive his fellow Scholars?

"Could it be that someone is impersonating the messenger and has made contact with the Multivision Association ahead of me?"

Lin Xun shook his head, quickly dismissing this guess.

The Great Sages of the Association were nearly divine figures, erudite individuals with analytical abilities bestowed by the Main Gods; how could they be deceived by an impostor?

The actions of the Multivision Association seemed likely deliberate.

[...]

[As you were lost in thought, the meeting in the hall was dismissed, and most of the Scholars had already left.]

[You also hurriedly left your seat and had just stepped out of the hall’s entrance when you suddenly felt someone pinch your butt.]

[Angry, you raised your Magic Wand, turning around to see who the indecent culprit was...]

[You saw ’Sage Randor’ right behind you, whispering ’go to the office’ before turning to leave.]

[You subconsciously followed the Sage’s steps to the Refined Copper elevator, accompanying Sage Randor to the higher floors of the Association Building...]

[The memories in the Shell began to revive slightly, and you recalled the unmentionable secrets between you and ’Sage Randor’.]

[You did not wish to go to dangerous places such as the Abyss and Outer Seas to hunt mysterious creatures for money—an overly hazardous occupation.]

[After all, you had finally become a Grand Scholar through your outstanding talents; you couldn’t just die quietly in those corners far from city civilization, could you?]

[However, finding side jobs like hosting lectures that would bring in easy money wasn’t easy...]

[No, not hard to find, but rather the opportunities were scarce. Above you, there were ’Secretaries’ and the ’Chief Secretary’... Such easy jobs simply weren’t available to you.]

[In order to support your excessive expenses, you had to enter into a shabby deal with ’Sage Randor’...]

[This was because Sage Randor oversaw the various work commissions undertaken by the Branch Association, with nearly eighty percent of the additional tasks distributed by Randor...]

[You couldn’t help but sigh, knowing that once you entered the office, you would be met with a tempest-like infusion of Knowledge...]

[...]

Lin Xun just felt embarrassment for the eyes.

He wished he could split Sage Randor with a sword and then throw away the Shell he currently inhabited.

But the game had to keep going, and this Sage Randor probably knew many secrets; he was a good breakthrough point.

[The elevator ascended to the higher levels of the Association Building, and you followed ’Sage Randor’ down the corridor into his private office...]

[You casually locked the door behind you, and ’Sage Randor’ dropped the comment ’undress yourself,’ then went to his desk to retrieve a small, delicate Refined Copper snuffbox.]
