Chapter 616: Chapter 586: Infighting
"Who the hell knows what Cowherd and Weaver are?"
Just as people were opening their eyes, a five-meter tall humanoid made of stone stood out and yelled at the top of his voice.
After he had shouted, the stones on his body rolled, and he transformed into a stone bull.
"Never heard of it, Cowherd and Weaver, but I do know the Steel Divine Bull!" a mechanical being made completely of steel shouted through a huge megaphone that extended from behind it.
"A bunch of ignoramuses, does your world not have Divine beings?" A flame shot out, transforming into a butterfly.
"Divine beings? I only know of the god of machinery, Omestu, an eternal star that nurtured countless steel lives." the robot replied, followed by a chorus from the group of robots behind him, "Exactly, if you’re talking about gods, Omestu is the most powerful Divine being! He created all living beings!"
The Stone Man was displeased, "Pah! What do you mean, ’created all living beings’? The Earth Mother is the one who created all!"
"Stinking Stone, you looking for a fight? In our Mechanical World, you’re just raw material!" A seven-meter tall robot, adorned in blue and red and armed with a big saber and a multi-barreled cannon, glared menacingly.
Upon hearing this, the crowd gasped, "The Mechanical World? The tenth-ranked of the ten great worlds in the Underground Immortal Realm?"
The robot glanced at him, lifting his head proudly, "Is there a second Mechanical World on this planet?
Listen well, I!
King of the Mechanical World, with a body of steel, Sims!
You all should remember this name, for it will undoubtedly illuminate the entire cosmos and earth!"
The Stone Man, upon hearing the term ’Mechanical World’, shut up immediately. He didn’t want to mess with the world ranked tenth among the ten great worlds of the Underground Immortal Realm.
Although, the ranking was somewhat questionable.
But everyone present had fought their way here from their own worlds.
Those who didn’t understand the game, now did; they all recognized the strictness of the system. Its top ten, though maybe not stronger than the others present in all respects, certainly excelled far beyond any other in one aspect!
Their strength was beyond doubt.
Being strangers in unfamiliar places, where no one knew each other, nobody wanted to make enemies, and even less to fight to the death over a so-called system ranking.
Thus, everyone chose to shut their mouths voluntarily.
Sims, seeing the silent crowd, revealed a satisfied smile, "Gentlemen, these world tasks are generated from events in major worlds. Moreover, as far as I know, events that happen in major worlds are often reflected in the All Heavens Minor World.
Some are recorded as mythological legends,
while others, due to various reasons, aren’t reflected or recorded at all.
We don’t have this story on our side.
If anyone knows, it’d be best to step forward and share...
Of course, you can choose not to, keeping the firsthand information to yourself.
But I believe, no one wants to be an enemy to us all!"
Having spoken, Sims’s three eyes scanned the surroundings, the oppressive metallic aura emitted by this powerful mechanical lifeform posing challenges to breathe.
Yet, nobody spoke.
Nobody was foolish, firsthand information was absolutely key in completing the task.
The first world task— the rewards were frighteningly generous, who would share such information with others?
Sims narrowed his eyes, "It seems that nobody wants to share information, huh..."
A robot resembling a spider said, "Lord Sims, I just analyzed it a bit, the Cowherd and Weaver in this task look like humans.
Even if some human players don’t know, it’s impossible that none of them know!"
Upon hearing this, Stone Being from the Stone World, Mud People, Rock Giant;
Flame Spirits from Flame World;
Robots from Mechanical World;
Ants and bees from Tribal World;
And demons and monsters from other worlds;
All turned their gaze to the small number of Human Clan.
The Human Clan panicked, with someone shouting, "Although we’re Human Clan, it doesn’t mean we have to know about the task, right?"
"I don’t care whether you know it or not, I consider that certainly among you, someone knows. Either explain yourselves, or for fairness sake, you’ll have to drop out!" Sims gave the Human Clan players two options.
Human Clan players glared at Sims, and a large countdown appeared behind him; ten, nine...
Meanwhile, robots from the Mechanical World and other lifeform players swiftly surrounded them from all directions.
"Humans, we just want a fair starting line, I believe you wouldn’t refuse, right?" the Stone Giant sneered.
The Butterfly Fire Spirit said, "Humans, either grant us fairness, or we will create it ourselves.
I think that’s fair."
Human players looked at each other; some truly didn’t know the legend of Cowherd and Weaver, but inevitably, some did.
"Who knows, speak up!"
"Yeah, stop hiding! If you keep hiding, we all have to drop out."
"Rather than drop out, better to stand on the same starting line with them and fight another round!"
"Speak up, quickly!"
A group of humans, their skin or hair and eyes in various colors, yelled loudly. Only those with slightly yellow skin and jet-black hair remained somewhat silent. They clenched their fists and gritted their teeth as they whispered among themselves, "These damned people, this is sheer bullying with power!"
"Why should we tell them our legends?"
"Those colorful things are no good either!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, once war breaks out, I’m afraid those colorful things will make a move against us too."
...
As everyone was discussing, a man with green skin and green eyes shouted, "The quest includes a picture of Cowherd and Weaver, their skin is slightly yellow and they have black hair, just like those people!
Cowherd and Weaver are not the same as us, it’s normal that we don’t know them.
But those people, they must know!"
"Right, we are not like them, we just look somewhat similar. Rock Giant, don’t you often transform your shape too? Just having two legs, two arms, and a head makes us the same species? Our colors are different!"
...
Listening to their shouts, Sims laughed, "You make a good point, so for fairness, would you like to help us persuade those black-haired people to tell their stories?"
Upon hearing this, they immediately switched directions and glared menacingly at those with slightly yellow skin and black hair of the Human Clan, shouting.
"You black-haired guys, better tell us everything you know, otherwise, don’t blame us for being ruthless later!"
"If you ask me, we shouldn’t even waste words on them; let’s kill half of them first, and if the rest don’t talk, we kill again!"
"Kill the men, keep the women, heh heh..."
"Exactly, make use of everything!"
Listening to these words, the black-haired players of the Human Clan glared furiously.
"These damned bastards!"
"Indeed, the real alien is not scary; it’s those who desert during battle and resemble us who are the cruelest!"
"Their rage from being bullied and oppressed is being transferred to us, plus they also want to show their loyalty to those non-human races, of course, they’ll be even more ruthless."
"Brothers, what do we do?"
"Fight, we surely lose; talk, and there still might be a chance."
"Given the situation, we might as well talk. I believe, in such a vast world quest, it definitely won’t become simple because of one story. When the time comes, it will be up to everyone’s own abilities."
Under absolute pressure, the black-haired players of the Human Clan eventually chose to compromise.
A man stepped forward and said, "We have indeed heard this story; if you want to hear it, we can tell. But we have our conditions too!"
Upon hearing this, everyone grew spirited.
They didn’t care about the lives and deaths of these human players; they were only interested in the story of Cowherd and Weaver!
Although the system also gave a simple introduction, that introduction was too simple!
It was only this sentence: Help the Cowherd take the clothes of the seven Celestial Maidens and marry a Celestial Maiden.
There was also some information about the boss guarding the Celestial Maidens while they bathed, but nothing more!
Therefore, they had a great desire for information.
What they feared most was that the legendary story had a major connection with the system quest, which would leave them too passive and at a disadvantage.
As for whether what the other side would say after speaking was true or not, they were not worried.
Because no one, including Sims, could guarantee if they truly knew the story of Cowherd and Weaver.
What if they knew but pretended not to know?
On this matter there was only speaking or not speaking; there was no room for lying.
Seeing that the man was willing to speak, Sims’s face brightened with a bit more of a smile and he said succinctly, "Speak!"
The man said, "It’s simple. We’ll tell you the story of Cowherd and Weaver, but they have to be out of the game!"
The man pointed at the colorful folks standing beside him, whose faces suddenly changed upon hearing this.
The green-haired man shouted angrily, "You bastard, what do you mean? What’s your name, if you have the guts, declare it!"
"Yeah, you say we’re out of the game and we just have to accept it? Believe it or not, after the task is over, we’ll make everyone in your world out of the game?!"
The man smiled and looked at them, "Make everyone in my world out of the game? Alright, I’ll wait for you!
Remember this.
I am,
from God Descent World,
Martial God Zhou Yun!"
The green-haired man who was furiously angry a moment ago and Sims who had always looked disdainfully at everyone were both shocked!
"God Descent World? The seventh-ranked world in the Immortal Realm?!"
This ranking was even three spots higher than that of the Mechanical World!
How could this not shock everyone?
Sims’s face, usually proud, immediately broke into a laugh and he said gleefully, "Brother Zhou, if you had declared your name earlier, all this trouble wouldn’t have happened, ahahaha... So, Greeny, what do you say?"
The green-haired man reluctantly shouted, "Sims, this is unfair! We were on the same side!"
Sims looked disdainfully at him, "Who the hell is with you?"
Then Sims stood beside Zhou Yun, "We are the ones on the same side. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of Brother Zhou’s suggestion?"
