Earth’s Best Gamer Chapter 269 - Voldemort, Thanos, Granny Rong?

Chapter 269: Voldemort, Thanos, Granny Rong?

“Elder Meng, how are things looking? Have we found any information yet?”
In the conference room of the Twin Dragon Mount, the real decision-makers such as Wu Qiao, Li Qing, and Qin Yueyu looked expectantly at Elder Meng, who had just come back online.
A few hours had passed since the Ghostship attack, and by now, the war trophies dropped and resources in the ship had been cleared out.
But just in case, the heroes still guarded the critical locations with their soldiers.
The core players waited for Elder Meng, who had gone offline, to come back online.
The forum of the players on Earth was doubtlessly a great place to gather information, not to mention that the ample amount of Honor the Twin Dragon Island had gained was more than enough to have the Confederation Office provide them with inside information.
But going offline now would cost the power of providence of the settlement, which was why they only sent Elder Meng this time.
“Yes, the master’s speculation was correct!
“Based on the information consolidated by the confederate government, this stage is indeed different from when the Ten-Species Competition took place. Currently, when some special beings kill the natives, the war trophies dropped may also contain the Souls of Civilization.
“In a way, they’ll ‘inherit’ the Soul of Civilization that originally belonged to the natives they’ve killed.”
Elder Meng nodded at Ji Ye, but the look on his face was rather serious.
“Special beings?”
Ji Ye was acutely aware of the expression Elder Meng used. Instead of “monsters”, he called them “special beings.”
“Aye!
“Well, how should I explain it? Let me give you an example.
“This afternoon, a player from an Extraordinary Rank-6 settlement of the Northwest Province discovered a bandit’s lair. There were 40 bandits in total, and all of them were Elite Extraordinary Rank-5 and above.
“What’s worth mentioning is that they lived in a cave that contained a lot of treasures, and the door to the cave could be opened by a spoken incantation.”
Elder Meng took out his cup and made some tea.
“40 Elite Extraordinary Rank-5 bandits!”
That number didn’t mean much to the Twin Dragon Mount.
But to an Extraordinary Rank-6 settlement, that was a very serious threat.
“40 bandits and an incantation to open the door? Why do I feel that I’ve heard it somewhere before…”
Mister Bug scratched his head and mumbled.
“Moreover, an Extraordinary Rank-5 settlement of Samsung found a valley. A stone tablet written in Chidragon language stood at the entrance, and a lot of rare Extraordinary resources grew inside. The settlement sent out an elite team of over a hundred soldiers, trying to collect the resources in the valley… However, the entire team was almost wiped out, including several Commander-level heroes!”
Turning the teacup in his hand, Elder Meng didn’t answer Mister Bug’s question. Instead, he talked about what happened to another foreign settlement.
“Did they run into Transcendent monsters?”
Mister Bug’s eyes widened.
“According to the only Samsung player who had escaped, they were attacked by some people wearing traditional-styled clothes. There were only 10 of those people, but they were all Commanders of Extraordinary Rank-7 and above, and the methods they used were very cruel. Secret weapons and traps were used, and some of them even wore disguises and pretended to be the players before poisoning them…
“The only survivor used a special object to escape. He searched the characters on the stone tablet when he went offline and found out that it meant ‘villains’.”
Elder Meng lifted the lid of his cup.
The steam coming out of the blue porcelain cup turned into the shape of a crane, which circled around the cup. Needless to say, the object also had Transcendent power.
However, it didn’t seem very appropriate to have tea when he was telling such a “sad” story.
“After the third world war, Samsung stopped using Chidragon characters. Otherwise, they would have recognized the name of the valley at once.”
Elder Zhou, the only new player attending the meeting, made the comment after hearing what Elder Meng said.
Obviously, he had realized something.
Sipping his tea, Elder Meng added, “Moreover, an Extraordinary Rank-5 settlement of Jaipan ran into a group of soldiers wearing the swastika armband. The settlement was then annihilated…”
“Well, that’s interesting!”
Guo Wei, who wore the sliver research glasses with a powerful analysis function that he had exchanged from the City of Humans, whistled.
“That is to say, in all races or civilizations, apart from the ‘heroes’, who are generally considered to be the ‘good guys’, some ‘villains’ are also appearing in the Land of Inheritance?”
Wu Qiao sounded surprised.
“40 bandits, the Valley of the Villains, the swastika army… It’s obvious, isn’t it?”
An Quan frowned a little.
“Holy crap! That’s awesome!”
Mister Bug finally realized what the others were talking about and was a little shocked at first.
“Does that mean that we may run into villains such as Freddie, Joker, Voldemort, Yue Buqun, Megatron, Takeshi Goda, and Granny Rong?”
The initial shock then seemed to turn into a pleasant surprise.
Wait, the first few characters mentioned were indeed villains. Why were the last two part of this group?!
“Why do you sound so happy?”
Qin Yueyu glanced at him.
“Of course I’m happy! Joker is my idol! I’m a big fan!” Mister Bug said excitedly.
“Didn’t you say that your favorite characters were the heroes of the Water Margin when you arrived here?”
Qin Yueyu stared at him with her archer’s sharp gaze.
“Well, the Water Margin heroes are my favorite domestic heroes, and Joker is the foreign one. Well, I just like the actor who played Joker. What’s his name? I… I forgot…”
Mister Bug was sweating a little.
He seemed to recall how quickly he surrendered when he claimed himself to be the “lord of Jin City” when he first arrived.
But what Mister Bug said got Ji Ye thinking.
He had to admit that many “anti-heroes” and “villains” were actually very popular.
Some of them were even more popular than Superior and Perfect heroes. From what they had observed so far, fame and popularity had very special significance in the Land of Inheritance.
Probably because of that, the villains would show up as “special monsters”.
Of course, “monster” was only a way of addressing them, just like “players”. In fact, the Land of Inheritance didn’t distinguish one from the other.
Technically speaking, these villains were also “natives”, but they didn’t have the Souls of Civilization.
While Ji Ye was lost in his thoughts, Mister Bug asked excitedly, “Hey, do you think characters like Mr. Abandon and Thanos are villains? If they are, any alien races running into them will be doomed.”
