Chapter 1568: A Hero Doesn’t Fight With A Guard
Wang Yu’s flight speed was not slow and while Blossoming Moon was speaking to the various leaders, he was already at the entrance of the God’s Tower.
There were two guards stationed at the entrance of the God’s Tower.
The national boundary in reality was completely different from the national boundary in the game.
In the background story of the game, every city was a country on its own while every district was a federation. The only differentiation of enemies would be the factions.
Therefore, there was no difference between national boundaries in the consciousness of NPCs. As long as the players were not of opposing factions, there wouldn’t be any conflict. Wang Yu belonged to the Neutral faction while the NPCs in Starry Sky City belonged to the Light faction. While the two were not in the same factions, they were not hostile to each other. Therefore, the guards in Starry Sky City wouldn’t do anything to target Wang Yu unnecessarily.
However, Wang Yu couldn’t help but feel a little guilty when he saw these two guards.
One must know that Wang Yu had just killed quite a few players earlier on. Wouldn’t he be seeking death if he continued to hover around in front of the guards?
Wang Yu had come across the guards before and he knew just how terrifying guards were. Dragon Emperor Dales was nothing as compared to guards who should rightfully be known as the strongest experts in the game.
However, these two guards did not charge towards Wang Yu to attack him even after they saw Wang Yu approaching them. Instead, they simply placed their spears across Wang Yu’s chest and said in a stern manner, “No idle person can wander outside the God’s Tower.”
“F*ck…”
Wang Yu was taken aback by this sentence.
How could he be considered an idle person when his quest good was inside the tower?
After thinking for a while, Wang Yu took out two bags of gold and handed it out, “Brothers, please be flexible…”
“Pah!”
The two guards didn’t even look at the money bags in Wang Yu’s hands as the two spears let out an ear-piercing sound, “No idle person can wander outside the God’s Tower!”
“…”
Wang Yu was speechless.
This was the difference between low AI NPC and high AI NPC. Even though intelligent NPCs were always shamelessly trying to benefit from the players, it also gave the players the opportunities to exploit the NPCs’ greed.
Guards were inherently different from intelligent NPCs who were strictly impartial and incorruptible. Facing fellas like them was equivalent to facing a rock where there would be no room for negotiation of any form.
Wang Yu was increasingly depressed.
If he wanted to obtain the God’s Glory, he had to enter the God’s Tower but these two guards were not giving in…
Eh? Outside the God’s Tower?
At the thought of this, Wang Yu scratched his chin and asked, “I’m not wandering outside God’s Tower, I want to enter.”
“Dang!”
Hearing what Wang Yu said, the two guards’ spears gave way as the two of them opened up a path for Wang Yu.
“Cheeekaa!”
The gate of God’s Tower opened up.
“F*ck!” “I knew it!”
Wang Yu wiped his sweat!
The system was just as tricky as ever to think that they could play with the players through their wording. Fortunately, Wang Yu was no longer the same honest youth that he was before. Otherwise, he would have just turned and left the place without any second thoughts.
After cursing at the game designers discreetly, Wang Yu walked towards the God’s Tower.
“Dang!”
Just as Wang Yu set foot through the gate, the God’s Tower’s gate was shut tightly. Following which, a dazzling white radiance shone on Wang Yu’s face.
…
At this point, Golden Time’s players on the street had already caught up with Wang Yu outside the God’s Tower. They had received Blossoming Moon’s orders to stall Wang Yu near the God’s Tower and to prevent him from leaving.
When the players from the other guilds received Wang Yu’s ID, the first thing they did was to search for his coordinates. Just as the Golden Time’s players arrived at the God’s Tower, the players from the other guilds also rushed over there from all directions.
But when everyone arrived near the God’s Tower and they saw the shutting of the gate, they were all rooted to the ground in shock.
“What? How is this possible? He actually managed to enter?”
Seeing the shutting of the gate, everyone couldn’t help but feel extremely astonished.
“No way! Are you sure?”
Hearing the exclamation of the others, many others started casting their doubts.
Everyone knew that the system was treacherous while the guards were frightening.
Everyone knew what the system was like and unless they had been through as much as Wang Yu did, common players could forget about seeing through the wordplay of the system without a few years of experience.
Ever since the opening of the server, this God’s Tower had been in the centre of Starry Sky City. With the guards watching over, ordinary players had no way of getting close.
After such a long time since the opening of the servers, it wasn’t as though there hadn’t been players wandering outside the God’s Tower. However, all it proved was the fearsome reputation of the guards. None of them managed to reap any rewards.
Wang Yu was merely a foreigner who wasn’t even a player of the Korean server, let alone a player from Starry Sky City. Even so, he was able to enter safely?! Wasn’t this a little too unusual?!
“Let’s check it out and we’ll know.”
There were plenty of ways to check a player’s coordinates in the game. Some players quickly used [Clairvoyance] to check Wang Yu’s coordinates.
Indeed, Wang Yu’s coordinates stated ‘God’s Tower Level One’.
“F*ck! How!!”
Everyone roared after seeing Wang Yu’s coordinates. Even the locals couldn’t enter so what gives a Chinese player the rights to enter? Could it be that this game was created by the Chinese?
At that moment, many players grew infuriated and if it wasn’t for their quest on hand, they would have gone offline to complain on the forum.
There were also players who didn’t believe what they saw so they lowered their heads and walked towards the God’s Tower.
At this point, the two guards stood out and blocked the way, “The gate has closed and no one else is allowed inside.”
“F*ck you! Are you telling me that I cannot enter when that foreigner can?” Some players couldn’t care less as they started cursing and scolding the guards.
The guards were not the most polite people. Before these players walked towards the gate, they swung their spears emotionlessly.
“Whoosh!”
A wave of white light appeared as over ten players were killed on the spot.
These were also the legendary representatives of the system. They possessed the absolute strength and power of this world and even a God-grade BOSS wouldn’t be able to survive a blow from these guards, let alone the players.
This was enough to silence everyone else.
“Duang!”
After killing these players, the two guards returned to their position as said with a monotonous tone, “The gate has closed and no one else is allowed inside. Anyone who disobeys shall be killed without further discussion.”
“Boom!”
After witnessing the strength of the guards, the players felt chills down their spine as they took a step back together.
What a joke! Everyone was merely a player and people with brains would know that there was no point arguing with low IQ guards. It wasn’t as though they could defeat the guards…
