My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2512 -838: Gotta Show Off My Big Toy to My Buddies!

The Star Realm’s Old Turtle’s eyes followed the movement of the glowing sphere, filled with longing.

“Heh heh, you want it, don’t you?”

Mannis drawled:

“Look at how fragrant this creation energy is, you surely want it, right? Cui Tan, we’re old friends, if you want it, just say so. I’ll definitely give it to you generously.”

“Stop talking nonsense!”

Only then did Cui Tan realize his slip, immediately straightening his face and cursing:

“You wicked thing, you’re tempting me. Just say it, what do you need me to do before you’re willing to give me this fragrant thing? Last time’s discussion doesn’t count, I haven’t decided to go down the dark path with you yet.”

“How could it be?”

The Endless One cunningly coiled its body, its eyes shimmering with the flow of time, staring at Cui Tan, saying:

“I recently found that being a middleman in transactions is quite profitable, so I plan to be the best Star Realm broker in my long life ahead. Look, I got you a job, Cui Tan. The other party is an important figure you can’t afford to offend.

But as long as you help, this ball of creation energy will be the deposit.”

“Using this as a deposit?”

Cui Tan swallowed nervously, saying:

“Tell me what I need to do first, to put my mind at ease.”

“Hmm, well, a Divine Spirit has requested Old Ao’s assistance, but we both know Ao’s ill temper, so we can only approach it indirectly. Let me ask you, is Leviathan’s terrestrial body still roaming the Misty Sea?”

The Endless One asked, and Cui Tan nodded:

“It’s still there, and my god has entrusted me with the duty to watch over Its terrestrial body. But the hateful Daguan has been trying to corrupt that divine carrier. The Father of Fish’s servants have somehow learned sorcery and are planning to use my god’s terrestrial body as a vessel for Daguan to enter the material world.

This is the most important mission for me and my followers.”

“Very well, then let’s make this the job content.”

Mannis hissed, flicking its forked tongue, saying to the Old Turtle:

“You guys make a feint and lure those Merfolk to attack Leviathan’s terrestrial body, drawing Daguan’s will and power over, then let my associates give that Evil God a big hit in the material world!”

“No way!”

Cui Tan immediately shook his head, saying:

“The risk is too great! If something goes wrong, my god will probably tear apart my shell.”

“Look at you, a coward, spineless, hopeless! Truly a disgrace to the Demigod camp! Why not learn from the Silver Wolf, although he’s an idiot, he’s bold enough to claw at the Divine Spirit.”

The Endless One scolded in disappointment:

“Reluctant to sacrifice the child, yet you won’t catch the wolf. Daguan is Leviathan’s mortal enemy. If we can take this opportunity to severely wound Daguan, you will surely be favored and valued more by the Sea God. Besides, we’re the ones doing the most dangerous parts. What are you afraid of?

Even if something goes wrong, we’ll take the blame!

Think about it, if this succeeds, you’ll gain the favor of two Divine Spirits, obtain creation energy, and give yourself a break. You’ve been guarding the terrestrial body for so many years, aren’t you tired?

Don’t you want to find a pretty lady turtle and continue your lineage?”

Scoffed by the Endless One, Cui Tan remained silent. After several minutes, he asked:

“Is this something you’re doing alone, or have you and Murphy planned it together? Striking the Evil God, gaining my god’s favor to speak for you with Lord Ao, and incidentally receiving Kulkan’s gratitude? You plan to kill three birds with one stone?”

“Hey, I really underestimated you, to guess the employer is the Sun God. But Murphy isn’t involved in this; he’s busy dealing with the Black Disaster, but that will end eventually, won’t it?

Whether victory or defeat, life must go on.

I’ve seen in the future’s silhouettes that Murphy will journey to the Origin Land, a significant moment of destiny, adding some flare to this journey is what a collaborator should do, isn’t it?”

The Endless One laughed heartily, saying:

“How about it? Tempted? Want to give it a try?”

“Hmm… let me first taste the creation energy! Seeing you eat it twice, even I, the Old Turtle, am tempted…”

“Here, it’s yours, eat slowly.”

“Mmm, it’s truly delicious, Mannis. Now I understand why you cling to Murphy’s coattail so submissively, ah, this soft life truly tastes sweet.

I’ve thought about what you said last time, and although you’re certainly trying to deceive me, I believe you’re right. A great change is upon us, and we all must strive not only to preserve ourselves but also to find a way forward.

Since Lord Administrator is on our side, then when is a better time to bet than now?

Okay!

I’m in.”

—————–

Murphy finished opening the treasure chest and couldn’t keep this joy to himself after obtaining such a cherished toy. As he was contemplating whether to show it off to his wife, he was surrounded by a group of minor players just as he took the floating elevator from inside the ruins to the surface.

This was nothing new for Handsome Murphy.

As a noble main quest NPC, no matter where he went, he would enjoy being “the center of attention,” but this time, the minor players came not for triggering affection quests but for business.

“Sir Murphy! I just saw the Jackal Warriors leaving the ruins under Captain Boboke’s command, and even Wise Wolf Lord has taken to the battlefield. It’s said they are moving to intercept the Bone Biting Jackal Men approaching here. I want to ask, why haven’t we received any orders?”
