Chapter 1426: Chapter 370: Fellow Villager, Don’t Leave—This Object and I Are Destined
Two hours later, at the Teleport Point connecting Colorful Mist Coast and Game Space.
All 32 internet-addicted clan members were present.
Despite their reluctance, under the threat of a one-week internet suspension, no one dared to be absent.
Life Throat glanced over the clan members before him, his mouth twitching.
Their in-game appearances were vastly different from what he had imagined. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Though his attire was not what it used to be, he still maintained the silver robe style, with the hem embroidered with a subtle silver destiny trajectory pattern, the cuffs neatly arranged, preserving the unique courteous aloofness of the Destiny Clan, understated yet with an ethereal quality.
But these clan members in front of him were completely different.
They were entirely influenced by the forum players, their aesthetics diverging wildly in style.
Ming Man, standing at the forefront, sported a head of neon rainbow hair dyed with an armed module, every strand sparking with electricity. He wore a black leather robe with an image of an Earth Thought Evil Spirit standing with crossed arms printed on the back, topped with the words "Evil Boss," the whole look reminiscent of an Earth street punk from ancient times.
Next to him, Ming Dun was even more dramatic, his upper body bare, revealing bronze-toned arms, muscular and fit, but covered in various strange tattoos and words using an armed module, as if possessed by an Evil Demon.
The clan members in the back row were a chaotic dance of madness—one wore sunglasses larger than their face, the lenses looping "666" effects, while another wore ancient Earth period clothing, with wide sleeves holding two laser guns produced by the Arms Merchant Guild.
The most unbearable for Life Throat was a female clan member named Ming Tao, with a delicate face yet painted with smoky makeup, her lips a deep purple, wearing a skull-patterned outfit with a skirt short enough to reveal her thighs, feet clad in heavy metal boots, and a headband across her forehead emblazoned with the words: ’Dare to fight!’
One could see cultural infiltration was severe.
These young clan members had a high level of exposure to new things, and after becoming players and teaming up with players from other races for hunting, it’s clear they were culturally influenced; having shed their inner shackles, they were completely liberated.
Gathering together, they looked like a fashion show.
Every clan member’s outfit leaned towards "flashy," yet the vibe retained a certain awkwardness, making them seem both vulgar and amusing.
Life Throat rubbed his temples, choosing not to rebuke them.
Having left the Destiny Clan, the clan members were completely free, and he wouldn’t impose any restrictions on them.
Aside from development needs, they can play however they want.
Taking a deep breath, Life Throat scanned the faces of the clan members:
"The task I’m giving you this time isn’t difficult. Next, you just need to go to the Game Space and play a few rounds of strategy games with the Youlu Council members." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Saying this, Life Throat summoned the function panel.
He sent the edited replay videos to the clan members:
"Watch the video first, and remember what I’ve said. The me in the video is a wrong example. Remember three points: first, use the Disguise Technique to enter early on; once it’s broken, enter using different Life Soul Forms. Second, in each entry to participate in a game strategy, you must win no more than four rounds, but don’t win too easily—act as if you’re struggling to succeed. Third, avoid making mistakes like mine; lose reasonably, allowing the other side to naturally take the clan’s insignia."
After Life Throat’s explanation, a clan member shook his head:
"Life Master, I’m already a player; can’t I just use cheat codes to crush them? Why bother pretending to be a rookie?"
Life Throat shot a fierce glare at the speaking clan member:
"Watch my video first and then ask why. I want failure, not victory."
The clan member reluctantly closed his mouth, then turned on the video Life Throat had sent.
The video screen popped up, showing Life Throat’s arrogant face as he revealed You Ai’s cheating, his mischievous expression as he intentionally held back, and his calm acceptance of death. These scenes flashed by, helping the clan members present understand why Life Throat wanted them to win with difficulty and without excessive flair.
After the video ended, the clan member who had asked suddenly nodded in understanding:
"Got it... Life Master wants us to lower our stance, making Youlu Council feel they can easily control us. This way, they’ll be assured to start their slaughter plan, thereby depleting their combat power."
Seeing they finally understood the key, Life Throat nodded:
"Remember, win by chance and lose naturally." He paused, then added:
"Two people per batch, half an hour apart. Even if entering close together, pretend not to know each other."
The clan members responded one after another, starting to pair up.
The 32 clan members were divided into 16 groups.
With Life Throat’s assistance, they released spiritual power and began disguising their life wave aura.
As for appearance, Life Throat originally planned to buy materials from the Trading House to aid the clan in deep disguise.
But seeing their current bizarre outfits, there was no need for that.
The first group was Ming Man and Ming Dun.
"Let’s go, teach the Youlu Council a lesson." Ming Man nudged Ming Dun’s arm, leading the way to the center of the Teleportation Array.
Ming Dun grinned, revealing a row of white teeth:
"Just thinking about it makes me a little excited, a pure cheat code bliss game."
When they reached the center of the Teleportation Array, Life Throat raised his hand to activate the teleport mode, and their figures instantly disappeared in the glow.
At this time, Life Throat called up the forum interface, intending to watch the clan’s forthcoming actions through live stream.
