Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 2327 Gilbert's Request

No one paid any attention to 'Magic Sword', including his former good partner 'An Idle Man'.

For the undead, whether to choose between experience and money is something they themselves don't know how to choose until the moment comes.

But when he could only earn daily experience and his only entertainment was to fight with the neighboring family that he was not on good terms with, his family members and old companions actually got the task of making extra money, a lot of it... But they just ignored him, because the people squatting here were indeed very friendly.

The first reaction of the other members of their family when they saw the 'Magic Sword' was to kill him and delay his time to work, not to mention other families.

Half of the fights they had during this period were because someone was blocking the 'Demon Sword'.

This made everyone even more upset... they actually had to help him!
I just answered the question on behalf of others and ignored it. It's because the people here have a stable mentality.

"Tsk... By the way, this guy named Ruth is the teacher of Gilbert from the Styx, right?" Sui Chen, who had been watching the fun on the side, suddenly asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?" 'Yu Luo Fan Chen' turned to look at his partner... 'Sui Chen' usually wouldn't say anything on his own initiative, nor would he get involved in their usual games of making trouble, but he has always been the battlefield commander of the Black Rose, the kind who can convince the crowd.

Therefore, once 'Sui Chen' speaks, more serious people like 'Yu Luo Fan Chen' will respond immediately.

Generally speaking, it is only him, unless 'Sui Chen' asks someone by name.

Although the Black Roses have a very good relationship, they have little sense of responsibility... and they certainly won't take the initiative to step up and take charge of things.

It’s just that once the responsibility is assigned to someone, they will still work very hard, but they will never take the initiative to look for work to do.

This may be related to the fact that most of the family members are office workers.

Even if they are not as miserable as their predecessors in the past, a corporate slave is still a corporate slave. Short working hours does not mean that the work is not tiring… A job that does not tire the body and mind and has prospects for development will not be available even in ten thousand years.

Moreover, one thing that makes interstellar society even worse than in the past is that there are no jobs that allow you to just get by.

After all, unemployment benefits are enough to guarantee people's living needs, and even enough for people to play games comfortably for a lifetime. Many people can even earn some extra money from games!
So, even a job that doesn't seem special is not easy to get.

This is actually not a good thing, especially for those who still want to have a career.

Now, if you want to stand out from the crowd, it is not about standing out in the mud, but about doing better among a group of strivers.

In fact, in such a social atmosphere, more efforts will be required... After all, even if he gets to the top, those who are suppressed by him will not be completely convinced.

If you are not careful, you will fall again.

Of course, it’s not that there are no uncompetitive or scary professions...but that requires a technical advantage.

Just like people like Black Rose, although their main business is civil engineering, under the influence of the advanced technology in the interstellar society, new materials emerge every year...If they relax a little, they will definitely not be able to keep up with the situation.

It can be said that there is a reason why the "Perfect Bald" is a bald man.

Even with a medical service as powerful as Interstellar, being extremely smart is an unsolvable problem.

But for them, if someone is willing to deceive themselves, they can choose a career in technology.

But any serious technological work will take time to maintain.

'Perfect Bald' used to live in the wilderness all year round, so he doesn't have the time.

For these office workers, fighting is definitely a rare joy in life, so they are generally very positive about it.

But if it is something else, such as troublesome things like connecting the context and analyzing the meaning of the whole text, absolutely few people are willing to take the lead.

So, even though the Black Rose Family has a bad temper and is very good at fighting, their daily style is relatively relaxed.

Everyone keeps silent if they can, and shirks their responsibilities if they can.

These guys from the Black Rose, although they are all strong, are all second-line commanders because of this... They can perform well on the spot, but the preparations before the battle should be left to others~
Therefore, even if Sui Chen suddenly had an idea, only Yu Luo Fan Chen would respond to him.

For others, the 'Magic Sword' who got the advantage but still acted ungratefully was more worthy of attention than the conversation between the two of them.

At least I can still curse and vent some of my hatred!
'Yu Luo Fan Chen' and 'Sui Chen' had no choice but to get together amid the shouting.

"Have you read the message William sent before Ruth came?" Sui Chen asked softly.

'Yu Luo Fan Chen' blinked... Every time a new NPC appeared and a fight started, William would send a reminder to the undead, mainly to tell them not to rush into the battlefield and die.

Usually this is the disclaimer from the game company.

There is no way. There are always people who think that they are innocent when they rush into the battlefield and die at the hands of NPCs, so why should their experience points be deducted?

This kind of thing happens frequently in other games, but many companies are not as tough as Spacetime Company, which would just issue a statement and then be done with it.

The Spacetime Company will never allow players to be invincible on the NPC battlefield.

Therefore, people like them who like immersive games think this is a good place to retire.

At least, they'll feel that the relationships they've built in the game won't be ruined by a sudden code change.

But also because these words seem to be updated all the time, but are actually the same, so many people just look to see which unlucky NPC has to use his ultimate skill, and basically don't study the others.

He scratched his hair and asked in confusion, "Are you still reading this? Have you been less busy at work recently?"

Sui Chen sighed helplessly: "Between reading the information and being harassed by the chatter, I choose to read the information."

Yu Luo Fan Chen's eyes widened suddenly: "Hasn't he been supplying goods to Hill recently? How can he still have time to research new things?"

"Then you have to ask the magic sword." Sui Chen's face twisted half, "He dug some soil for Joss and made some bricks, but why can he also provide inspiration to Jijiwaiwai, making him unable to even take care of making money."

'Yu Luo Fan Chen' laughed awkwardly twice... He would never ask 'Mo Jian'.

Serious people should not discuss serious issues with those with mental illnesses, as that will only drive them crazy.

He quickly changed the subject: "So, what did you find that made you pay so much attention to this Master Lute?"

"William said in the file that Gilbert is building the City of the Dead, and is looking for people who can work for him among the undead who recently entered the Styx." Sui Chen said slowly, "He also talked about some of the past events between this Archmage Root and Gilbert."

'Yu Luo Fan Chen' said blankly: "What happened?"

"So, does Gilbert want his teacher to die... or does he want Ruth to live a few more years?" Sui Chen asked the question in his heart sincerely.

The angle he thought about the problem was so tricky that even the usually meticulous 'Yu Luo Fan Chen' was unable to think for a moment.

In fact, several Black Rose managers who were secretly listening to their conversation also fell into deep thought... This question seemed unimportant, but it also seemed quite important? -
The question of whether the undead want to pass or not is actually not important anymore, some people are more anxious.

Hill couldn't help but look deeply shocked after hearing Gilbert's long and incoherent speech, who suddenly contacted him.

Fortunately, in the magic tower now, only his own people could see his somewhat strange expression.

But Hill felt that his behavior was understandable.

Anyone who heard Gilbert repeatedly emphasize the reasons why Root must not be allowed to die would agree with him.

In fact, he was not too surprised because according to the judgment of the Styx, Ruth was a person who could be retained by the City of Death.

After all, the laws of the multiverse will definitely not be the same as the real eighteen levels of hell when judging right and wrong, good and evil.

Even in Trasil, Root was judged to be neutral to evil at best.

In Toril, this guy can be considered a good mage... He is a great mage who only kills people for resources and will not slaughter people just because he is unhappy.

But Gilbert, who came to Hill for help just because he didn't want his teacher to become his subordinates' manager, shocked Hill.

You know, the resources this guy has are so few that even Hill is embarrassed to look at them.

Therefore, he didn't have many chips to offer to ask Hill for help.

You can't just use the posthumous glory of Russell and Carpenter!
So, Gilbert very ruthlessly pushed himself forward.

The Lord of Death, even if it is the Lord of Death appointed by the Styx himself, must have some abilities.

For example, Gilbert, a god of death who was born as a wizard, is very good at purifying a material called Nether Crystal from the water of the River Styx.

It sounds like an evil material, but in fact it is a water material without attributes... The more refined ones can even help water professionals comprehend the negative laws of the water system.

Although it was Hill himself who chose to give up the law of destruction, few people knew this.

Therefore, Gilbert probably thought that Hill would work on understanding these laws in the future.

The mage is the one who understands the greed of mages best.

Even though Hill has mastered the positive laws of water to perfection and has almost become one with them, he normally would not give up when given the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the negative laws.

Even doing so would create a rift in his close connection with water.

But what wizard would not wish to have more laws?
Hill thought about it and still felt that there was no need to explain his choice to others.

But, are all the Nether Crystals that Gilbert has refined within 50 years worth his effort?
