Lor watched the scene with interest, saying nothing.
He had given the opportunity, but whether it could be grasped depended on Xiao Qiu Loves Fish.
"Why hasn't she made a move yet?" Calm Wave looked at Xiao Qiu Loves Fish standing motionless in front of the sheep, and asked curiously.
"Pfft~ Ahem~ I'm just saying, isn't it possible that she simply can't kill the sheep?" asked Forest Bells, trying to hold back a laugh.
"Uh, this..." Calm Wave was slightly taken aback, then quickly realized.
That's right, this game made no provision for any weapons or skills at the start, it just copied the body's physical abilities from reality, so it's quite reasonable not to be able to kill a sheep.
"Hahaha, she thinks she's playing one of those old games where saying 'kill' means you can kill."
"Pfft~."
"Good thing it wasn't me. This is just too embarrassing..."
Hearing the conversation between the two, most players laughed out loud.
In this situation, they couldn't kill the sheep either, and secretly rejoiced that Lor hadn't chosen them, otherwise, the embarrassment would have been theirs.
Pastoral Song, a friend of Xiao Qiu Loves Fish, felt secondhand embarrassment for her buddy, so much so that she was practically cringing with her toes.
A young man with a stern face and Tiger Girl exchanged glances, but in the end, it was the young man who spoke first to Lor: "Legislator Lole, she seems unable to complete this task on her own. Can I help her finish the task and split the reward?"
"Of course you can." Lor nodded.
He wasn't trying to make things difficult for Xiao Qiu Loves Fish; after all, he wasn't one to hold grudges.
What intrigued him more now was the young man with the stern face.
This young man was named 'Sky Explorer'. He wasn't very active on the forums in a past life but was quite famous, being a legion commander of a Fire Element player legion.
The player legion was extremely well-known among player communities because it was the only legion where all its members trained in the Fire Elemental Faction, and its players were all very low-key.
Some players on the forums suspected that they were from the military, but every time this theory emerged, it was refuted by others.
Why would official people collectively play a game?
Eventually, another theory gained prominence: that this player named 'Sky Explorer' was the rich young master of a conglomerate who formed a company just to find people to play with him.
However, in Lor's view now, this person was quite possibly really from the military.
On Blue Star's side, under the peace, it seemed there were undercurrents stirring.
"That's none of my business; it didn't turn into chaos in the end anyway." Lor shook his head slightly, suppressing these thoughts, and quietly watched Sky Explorer walk towards Xiao Qiu Loves Fish.
Below.
Under the curious gaze of other players, Sky Explorer picked up a palm-sized sharp stone along the way and continued walking forward.
In no time, he was beside Xiao Qiu Loves Fish, his mouth curling into a somewhat awkward smile, and said, "Let me do this."
"Okay." Xiao Qiu Loves Fish, her face flushed, replied and quickly backed away, hanging her head low like an ostrich.
She firmly believed that as long as she didn't look up, others wouldn't see her.
With a few steps, Sky Explorer arrived in front of the sheep. Gently, he stroked the sheep's head with his left hand.
"Baa—"
The sheep looked up and bleated softly at Sky Explorer.
At the moment it raised its head, Sky Explorer tightly gripped the sharp stone with his right hand and fiercely stabbed it into the sheep's neck.
"Pfft—"
The sharpened stone easily pierced the sheep's neck, spraying a bright red gush of blood.
Without lingering in place, Sky Explorer quickly retreated a few steps, avoiding the blood gushing from the sheep's neck.
The sheep, startled by the sudden pain, retreated several steps out of instinct before collapsing on the ground due to excessive blood loss.
"Hiss—this guy is ruthless!"
"What does he do in real life?"
"He's really good."
Sky Explorer's smooth sheep-slaughtering technique sparked chatter among the players.
"Here's your reward."
Lor glanced at the Sequence Panel, seeing no movement; he sighed inwardly, waved his hand, and brought out two piles of fifty Magic Crystals each, using the Floating Technique to deliver them separately to Sky Explorer and Xiao Qiu Loves Fish. He then looked at Sky Explorer and asked:
"I have a special task for you. Are you willing to continue helping me with the experiment?"
To test Abyssal Demons, it's enough to take just one person; the others should be left to the mentors.
Even if killing Abyssal Demons could really obtain Origin Points, Lor figured he wouldn't get much; right now, he was only trying to find ways to obtain Origin Points.
"Of course," Sky Explorer absorbed all the Magic Crystals floating toward him and responded without hesitation.
Taking on more hidden tasks would facilitate his investigation into the truth of this game.
Upon hearing Lor's decision, the other players felt mostly envy toward Sky Explorer, without harboring other emotions.
No helping it, given Sky Explorer's outstanding performance.
If they were to step forward, they'd likely end up just like Xiao Qiu Loves Fish.
"Alright." Lor nodded, using his Spiritual Power to activate the Origin Container in his Sea of Consciousness, spreading his perception, and immediately sensing Agular, who was handling documents in a grand hall in the middle of the Jade Plain, just thirty-seven hundred miles from this location.
"Mentor," Lor communicated via transmission, "I discovered some strange beings outside a small town three thousand seven hundred miles west of you on the Jade Plain. They call themselves players..."
Lor explained what had happened to Agular and concluded, "You should come and bring them to Lor... um, Lor City, and at the same time, report to the Alliance Headquarters."
Addressing the city named after himself for the first time, Lor wasn't quite used to it yet.
"Alright, I'm coming right away." Agular put down the parchment in his hand upon hearing the transmission and began using the Earth Vein Traveling Technique to head towards Lor's location.
He was extremely curious about the players Lor described.
He simply couldn't imagine that such beings could exist.
While waiting for Agular, Lor took out the Continent Communication Device and contacted Bruno.
Soon, the communication was connected, a light screen appeared.
"Legislator Lole, may I ask what instructions you have?" Bruno bowed respectfully and asked.
"Are there still any living first, second, or third-tier demons on the first underground floor?" Lor asked.
"Yes." Bruno nodded, "Currently, there are over three thousand first-tier demons, over a thousand second-tier demons, and more than fifty third-tier demons. If you require more, I can have the legion capture and bring back more."
"No need. Prepare one first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier demon each for me, and place them at the entrance of my dissection room," Lor instructed.
"Understood, Legislator Lole," Bruno replied immediately.
Lor ended the communication, opened the second deck of the spaceship, and used the Floating Technique and Gravity Technique to pull Sky Explorer beside him. To the players below, he said:
"Someone will come soon to take you to my city. Matters concerning the treatment you will receive and the rules to follow will be explained to you by him. I'm leaving first."
Saying this, he took Sky Explorer into the second deck of the spaceship amidst the reluctant gazes of the players, and launched the spaceship, shooting straight into the sky.
