Volume 10: Pride and Prejudice in the City-State Chapter 2 A truly terrifying opponent
“…I think I might lose.”
"Oh? Why? It's rare for you to admit defeat so decisively. These people are far inferior to you. Why would you make such a judgment?"
The professor looked at this purifier who always completed the task successfully and pushed his glasses . He felt that this task was not particularly difficult, and could even be said to be a bit simple. After all, although defensive measures were taken, those players were only targeting large-scale attacks.
In fact, the players were enjoying themselves, and did not happily changed policies and regulations, and took out hammers and nails to do some mechanical modification, always making some strange things for the townspeople to use. Although it was very effective, these undead were a bit scary.
It was as if they really didn't care about the attacks. There was no curfew, no inspections, and some people slept (went offline) or even covered themselves with newspapers in the corners of the streets. They didn't care about any migrant workers walking around outside. Instead, they fought over the slogans sprayed on the bastions - they were so idle that they even made spray paint cans and related equipment. Two organizations even disappeared completely in the internal fighting, and several other guilds were also seriously injured. Then the victors didn't care about the mess on the ground, and happily sprayed a line of big words on the bastion.
'Serving the people'
“…”
My god, you guys are having so much fun.
Looking at the images from the remote camera, Li Lin didn't even know what to say. What could he say? How are you, comrades?
After looking through the information in his hand, Li Lin rubbed his brows and thought about it, and felt that there was a long way to go to popularize the horror of players to professors. The people of these large organizations or NPCs inherently maintain the caution and arrogance of the superiors, and simply look at the problem from the perspective of strength and related aspects.
This kind of thing happens everywhere, it is more like a very common thing. However, it is often because of various common details that a person's life is ruined. So here we have to ask a question, who is the person in the world who can best notice details? Of course, it is the players who have nothing to do all day and play games for a week without logging off? Otherwise, who would carefully argue over a word?
"The players are just like me, with completely immortal bodies and mentalities that are very different from here."
Li Lin rubbed his brows and briefly explained his concerns to the professor.
"They have super strong action power, tenacious vitality, overly strong sense of responsibility, as well as thinking and association about various products, and indifference to life itself. Just like me, professor, think about it, there are hundreds of me squatting in that city now, what kind of scene would that be?"
"But they're not you, are they?"
They are not you.
The professor smiled kindly at Li Lin's concerns and showed an appreciative look.
That look was like that of an elder looking at his most outstanding junior, full of approval and joy, without any malice or dissatisfaction.
"You are the best teaching assistant in the university, and you will be the best lecturer in the university in the future, even a professor or department head. All your tasks are completed 100% successfully, without any mistakes or loopholes, and without any errors."
"You can perfectly see the truth in a noisy illusion, and you can easily break free from the conspiracy of the ancient gods. You will not rashly choose to fight with people you are not capable of fighting, and you will not easily determine the truth of a matter with your own eyes. You should be the most outstanding human being I have ever seen, and also the most outstanding teaching assistant. Although you are a player, I think all players are different."
"Although you were the same as them at the beginning, you have recently started to integrate more into this place, started to think, ask questions, and use your knowledge and abilities to make corresponding contributions to your life. You have even handled many difficult and hopeless tasks one by one, and you have won every battle. The ones who should be afraid should not be you, but your enemies. I believe that you are definitely the best among the players, and you can even say that you are the only one. Maybe this is the preference of acquaintances, but I think such a small thing will never become a stumbling block for you. I sincerely believe so."
“…”
Unexpectedly, the professor did not refute Li Lin based on behavior or other patterns, but instead used the opposite structure.
He sincerely praised Li Lin and thought that Li Lin was absolutely special. Even among players, there were differences between each other, just like between people. There would never be two identical humans, so the gap between players could be huge.
Compared to the terrifying players who were just making wild guesses, the professor trusted the top player who had completed all the tasks. After all, the other players did not create a big demon, nor did they confront the old gods, nor did they create any myths or legends. They were just ordinary, following the rules, and they were only getting stronger dozens or even hundreds of times faster than others. So what was so terrifying about this kind of pure strength?
Facing these rookies who were far inferior to Li Lin in strength, he would definitely be able to handle it all, the professor thought so sincerely and believed so, without even a doubt.
However, the professor also recognized the caution of his subordinates.
"So I think since you think it will be a tough battle, you can go to the logistics department to apply for some consumables."
Facing Li Lin, whose expression was uncertain, the professor did not say anything else but smiled generously.
"I think you can handle this matter well. It's just a simple clearing and collection activity. You can even sneak in and take the things and come out. Don't worry too much. If it doesn't work, you can also sneak in secretly. We only need the things and don't care about other things. Do you think it's okay now?"
"…I'll try my best."
Looking at the professor's trusting eyes, Li Lin opened his mouth, but said nothing and responded silently.
