"Eyes like Our King... Boss, is this the power Our King bestowed upon you?!"
"..."
Only to see that Pengpeng's eyes, at so unknown ti, had beco the sa as HIM's, both eyes emitting intense white light.
But it was only for an instant, and Pengpeng's eyes quickly returned to their previous appearance.
Hearing the words of the zombie players, and then recalling the way HIM had looked at him, along with the ability he had just received...
Pengpeng instantly understood.
"It... it was him who bestowed power upon !!"
This sudden surprise left Pengpeng montarily at a loss. He never expected that HIM would actually grant him power.
For Pengpeng, this was undoubtedly HIM's recognition of him.
Pengpeng was just about to step forward and say sothing when he suddenly saw HIM and Eddie disappear from their original spot.
Seeing this, Pengpeng lowered his head and bowed toward the place where HIM had been.
"Respectfully sending off Our King!"
The surrounding players, seeing Pengpeng's reaction, were all a little surprised.
Although the players all knew that Pengpeng had always regarded HIM as his faith...
In the players' minds, this was, after all, just a ga. Even though they knew their abilities had been bestowed upon them by HIM...
But players, after all, had their own consciousness. They wouldn't bow down and submit to HIM like the monsters in the ga.
Even though they verbally called him "Our King" and such, to them, this title was just like calling soone "Guild Leader" or "Boss."
Players would obey their boss or guild leader, but they wouldn't bow and salute them. After all, everyone was equal.
Yet at this mont, although Pengpeng didn't kneel, he still bowed to HIM.
This action undoubtedly surprised the players. They were all very curious—why did Pengpeng suddenly act this way?
The players were just about to ask when they saw Pengpeng suddenly pounce toward a player from the Sword Rain Guild.
His speed was so fast it left afterimages.
That Sword Rain Guild player hadn't even reacted to what was happening before he saw a fist as big as a cooking pot appear in front of his face.
With a "bang!", the player instantly collapsed to the ground, motionless.
At this scene, let alone the Sword Rain Guild players—even the zombie players who were with Pengpeng were all stunned.
"Holy shit?!! Boss, what kind of speed is this?!!"
"One shot kill?!! I rember before, Boss needed two hits to take down an iron-armored player?!"
"Boss, that's not cool, man! You secretly leveled up without telling us?"
The zombie players had been around Pengpeng day and night and naturally knew his strength well.
Although Pengpeng had already been very strong, he was never this ridiculously powerful.
Just as the players were in extre shock, the scene before them refreshed their understanding once again.
The player Pengpeng had just one-shot began gradually turning green.
When his entire body was completely green, that player actually stood up again.
At this mont, it was exactly like when they had been infected by HIM in the past.
Seeing this, the zombie players were all dumbfounded.
"What the hell???? Boss... you..."
"Is this Boss, or is this HIM??..."
"What the hell is going on?! I rember only HIM could infect players, right?!! Did HIM possess Boss?!!"
At this mont, even though HIM had already left, the Sword Rain Guild players didn't dare to make any moves.
What had just happened was way too eerie.
Thinking back to when Pengpeng's eyes had changed to be like HIM's just now...
They, too, felt that maybe HIM had possessed Pengpeng.
At this mont, everyone's eyes were locked onto Pengpeng.
And Pengpeng's face was overflowing with excitent.
"After so long, Our King has finally acknowledged !"
"He bestowed power upon !"
Hearing Pengpeng's words, both sides' players were all stunned.
"I knew it! No wonder Boss suddenly beca so strong!! It turns out he was recognized by Our King!!!"
"Boss!! Teach !! I want it too!!!"
"Holy shit!! Boss, you're aweso!! You're the first man to be acknowledged by Our King!!"
At this mont, the zombie players had completely lost interest in fighting.
They all gathered around Pengpeng, eager to learn from him.
Even the player from Sword Rain Guild who had just been infected ca over to ask for advice.
anwhile, the other Sword Rain Guild players exchanged glances.
"What the fuck are we even fighting for? I wanna defect already!!"
"Zombie players already had a broken ability where they could increase their stats, and now they can receive HIM's power too?!!!"
"Damn it! I'm defecting!!"
"I don't wanna be human anymore!! Long live Our King!!"
Players played gas simply to get stronger.
In fact, ever since HIM started infecting people, many players had already considered becoming infected.
But the conditions for infection were too harsh—you had to encounter HIM in person.
Now, with the opportunity right in front of them, of course, they were tempted.
Besides, the Sword Rain Guild players had just personally witnessed HIM bestowing power upon Pengpeng.
And they had also seen Pengpeng's strength firsthand.
Who could resist this?
As players, they were already feeling suffocated by how weak they were.
Now, with such a great opportunity in front of them, of course, they didn't want to miss it.
Soon, many Sword Rain Guild players surrounded Pengpeng.
"Big bro, infect !! I want to follow HIM!!"
"Hurry up and kill ! I've been wanting to stop being human for ages!!"
"Our King, here I co!! I will be your most loyal follower!!"
"..."
Pengpeng was also a bit caught off guard by the sudden wave of defectors from the Sword Rain Guild.
But he quickly took on his new responsibility.
"One at a ti, line up! No rushing!!"
"Also, don't let everyone get infected. Once you're infected, you can't communicate in the player chat. Leave a few people to go post on the forums!"
With Pengpeng's arrangents, the news that zombie players could receive HIM's power quickly spread throughout the ga.
This undoubtedly made even more players eager to join the zombie faction.
However, many players still stuck to their principles, choosing to remain in the player faction.
But looking at the current ga situation, the player faction was in a really tough spot.
———
Recently, the ga's feedback had been flooded with complaints that the player faction was too weak.
At this mont, the top executives of Zero Point Company were feeling the heat.
Although Notch had returned, the ga still hadn't received an update. Notch had seemingly been researching the upcoming Divine Realm weapons.
The executives didn't dare to rush him.
Just as they were about to reach their breaking point... Notch finally erged.
"The mod is almost finished. We can update it soon."
Notch had long planned the upcoming ga update.
One was the Bed Wars mod, and the other was the Divine Realm Competition mod.
Both mods would be implented in the ga as dungeons.
Bed Wars had already been completed a long ti ago—it just needed so new materials and a feature where the winner could get a random item from their inventory as a reward.
These adjustnts didn't even require Notch to personally intervene. The Zero Point programrs could quickly finalize them.
Most of the ti had been spent developing the final reward for the Divine Realm Competition mod—the War God's Blade.
After Notch arrived at the company, he also further understood the current situation of the ga.
In the ga world, many powerful monsters like HIM had erged.
The players' strength was simply no match for these monsters.
This was also a problem that Notch wanted to solve. Notch had also talked with Brother Jiang about the issue of HIM.
Brother Jiang's suggestion was to just treat HIM as an unbeatable final boss. There was no need to think about killing him or eliminating him. Just treat him as a marketing point for the ga.
That way, as long as HIM still existed, there would always be unexplored areas in the ga, and players would always have a goal to pursue.
This way, the lifespan of the ga would also be longer.
Brother Jiang's suggestion was understandable, as he was considering the future of the ga and Notch's financial prospects.
(T/N:- I'm also confused about the brother jiang appearing right now, but it was like this in the raw)
But Notch also had his own considerations.
HIM's popularity was indeed very high, and there were indeed many players who liked HIM.
Additionally, the recent infection incident had led many players to willingly join the monster faction.
The current state of the ga was actually already unbalanced.
Notch's original intention in designing the ga was to hope that this ga could beco a small world for the players.
