Zuo Lin'an saw this message and felt a sense of deja vu, but he didn't think too much about it.
He continued to read the messages sent by Feng Xingyun.
Truth be told, in just this short amount of time, Feng Xingyun's typing speed was already catching up to his own.
【Feng Xingyun: In your words, Zhou Shan is an extreme money-grubber and egoist.】
An egoist?
【Feng Xingyun: Although I don't know what his talent and specter items are, his strength has reached the Houtian Rank, making him one of the strongest among these nineteen players.】
【Feng Xingyun: I am certain that once he realizes the scarcity and importance of food in this dungeon, he will inevitably choose to unite with a few others to monopolize the limited food and water supply.】
After all, it was definitely unrealistic for him to monopolize all the food by himself.
Moreover, this man had absolutely no principles, taking on any bounty whatsoever, yet he had managed to survive to this day. This showed he definitely possessed ways to manipulate people's hearts.
Zuo Lin'an nodded secretly.
This player named Zhou Shan might be someone he could use to create some unsolvable specters.
However, whether he would succeed or not depended on his own methods.
【Feng Xingyun: Those two women dressed in white skirts and wearing bamboo hats adorned with silver bells appear to be female disciples of Mount Yinxian. Both are of the Third-Rate Rank.】
【Feng Xingyun: However, Mount Yinxian has been secluded from the world for many years, and they are one of the few sects that never took action against me, so I am not very familiar with them.】
Zuo Lin'an recalled the forum posts he had browsed earlier; he didn't seem to have seen the name Mount Yinxian anywhere either.
Not only were they secluded in the Wuxia World, but they didn't seem to have made a name for themselves in the specter dungeons either. Of course, it was also possible that they had all died, making them unworthy of being recorded by other dungeon bosses.
【Feng Xingyun: I have seen the three people behind the Jin family father and son a few times. They are all members of the Martial Alliance. They seem to belong to righteous and prestigious sects, but in reality, they are hypocritical to the core. They are just some Second- and Third-Rate martial artists, so I am not familiar with them.】
He indeed had seen those three before.
It was during a joint hunt against him by the Martial Alliance several years ago. They were merely ants on the periphery, and he only had a vague memory of them.
The Martial Alliance again.
Zuo Lin'an felt that ever since he became a dungeon boss, all the Martial Alliance members he had encountered so far didn't seem to have a single positive image.
【Feng Xingyun: The person opposite you actually has some background. He is a general from the western border of the Great Xuan Dynasty named Zhong Cheng. When he came to the imperial city to be decorated, I was hiding outside the city and saw him.】
【Feng Xingyun: However, since he has been stationed at the border for many years, I know very little about him.】
【Feng Xingyun: As for the remaining ten people, nine of them are ordinary people, and there is one more...】
Feng Xingyun opened the video once again and observed for a long time before finally confirming.
【Feng Xingyun: The person sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, farthest from you, is Zhang Tinglei, the chief military strategist of the northern rebel army. This man is a Xiantian Rank expert, known as the Heavenly Master of Divine Punishment.】
Heavenly Master of Divine Punishment?
This title was quite interesting. In modern times, it would sound like chuunibyou, but in ancient times, it was a completely different story.
【Zuo Lin'an: What's the story behind it?】
【Feng Xingyun: It is said that the current Emperor is incompetent, immoral, licentious, and bloodthirsty, plunging the people of the world into misery. Thus, the gods in heaven handed down a decree, specially appointing him as the Envoy of Divine Punishment to bring down divine retribution upon the Emperor.】
Zuo Lin'an blinked in surprise after reading this.
【Zuo Lin'an: That's a bit ridiculous.】
【Feng Xingyun: Anyone with half a brain knows it's just a slogan, but the common people are ignorant. To them, gods and immortals are the best excuse.】
【Feng Xingyun: And for the rebels, they need to win over the common people to the greatest extent. As long as the commoners are willing to join them, it's a success in their eyes.】
【Feng Xingyun: I hadn't heard of him being selected by a specter dungeon before, so I can't help with information regarding his talent and such.】
【Zuo Lin'an: It's fine, leave the rest to me.】
At the very end, he sent another message to Feng Xingyun.
【Zuo Lin'an: Don't worry, I will make sure to give the Jin family father and son, as well as the three from the Martial Alliance, a thorough torment.】
Since the man had become his underling after all, he, as the boss, had to do something.
Zuo Lin'an put down his new phone, took out his work phone, opened the forum, and took high-definition photos of all nineteen people over there, whether they were martial artists or ordinary people.
Then, he uploaded all the photos to the forum, asking about the identities, talents, and other information of these players.
However, he quickly realized that very few people replied.
The reason was simple.
At this very moment, almost all dungeon bosses were posting threads, with content very similar to his.
Looking across the forum, it was filled with identical new threads.
And as long as one clicked on them, they would see photos of various players. All the dungeon bosses were asking what specter items or talents these players possessed.
With so many posts being made, the lesser-known players naturally received no attention, and nobody knew who they were.
Zuo Lin'an was in no hurry either. After all, he could only take action once every hour.
Additionally, with so little intelligence available, it wasn't wise to launch a rash sneak attack. Otherwise, let alone tricking them into using their talents or specter items, he might even end up failing miserably in an easy situation.
After all, as a Human-Specter Symbiont, he had to perfectly fuse his living body and specter body to ensure that he would have a high probability of not being repelled when players used their trump cards.
But his living body was still pretending to be an NPC, and it wasn't time for him to exit the stage yet.
Zuo Lin'an waited for a few more minutes, constantly refreshing his post, and finally, someone recognized one of the players.
【I know this Zhang Tinglei. He cleared my dungeon before. I'm not sure what specter items he has, but I know he has a unique special talent: Heavenly Punishment Divine Fire.】
【OP, this talent of his is incredibly powerful! Oh wait, actually, all unique special talents are incredibly powerful!】
【Hold on, let me explain it to you in detail.】
Seeing this, Zuo Lin'an felt that something was amiss.
A unique special talent?!
Was this a joke?
Asking him, a One-Star dungeon boss of the lowest difficulty, to go against a Xiantian Rank martial artist who possessed an extremely powerful unique special talent?
【Heavenly Punishment Divine Fire】 did not look like a utility talent no matter how he sliced it!
Soon, that person kept replying below.
【He can randomly select a target. As long as he sees them commit a crime, he can judge them guilty.】
【Then, he can consume one-fifth of his life to summon the Heavenly Punishment Divine Fire to descend upon the target. The divine fire will not be extinguished until the target dies!】
【What's even more terrifying is...】
【Before all of his life is consumed, there are no side effects. He will drop dead instantly once his life is completely depleted, but the talent has no cooldown, and he can recover one-fifth of his life every five days!】
【The key point is that the scope of what constitutes a "crime" is defined by him!】
【If he says lighting a fire is a crime, then lighting a fire is a crime, and he can call down heavenly punishment. If he hasn't defined killing as a crime, then even if someone is killed in front of him, he can't use his talent to attack them.】
Rate on N.U.
