Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 70 - 67: Savior Lord

The message continued scrolling on the public screen overhead—

[This map contains a total of 5 main quests, each lasting between 24 to 48 hours.]

[Due to the presence of soul doll items, in a single main quest, character strategy degree is no longer included in the task scoring system. Whether the task is completed depends only on whether the player can achieve 100% task completion within the specified time.]

[Soul Doll: A doll refined from the soul of each strategy character, serving as a tool to materialize the emotions of the strategy character.

At the end of each main quest, if the character strategy degree is below 80%, a soul thread will be triggered, which will connect to a limb of the player during night rest, thus increasing the bond between the player and the strategy character.

The limb connected by the soul thread will be controlled by the strategy character and will no longer be under the player’s control.

The triggering of the soul thread does not affect task completion; players who trigger the soul thread can still pass through this map.

But if the number of soul threads triggered reaches the limit, with all five limbs controlled by strategy characters, the player and the strategy character will form a deep bond and trigger the storyline: Reverse Tian Gang.]

[Again, it is strongly advised that during night rest, please ensure the soul doll is within 1-meter range of the player. If the soul thread cannot function due to distance, it will be regarded as a main quest failure.]

After reading that introduction, all players present fell into deep thought.

Wen Nan had to admit, the setting of this item is indeed some serious underworld stuff. No wonder the difficulty of this instance can reach the highest level among beginner maps.

What kind of planner was this for the map, some crazy sickly spine, with such a strong desire to control the players?

If the first task doesn’t reach an 80% favorability rating, then in the next task, does it mean the player will lose part of their body control?

If it’s just losing an arm, Wen Nan could barely manage, but if it’s a leg, and it happens to be right in the middle, how can he happily do the love strategy?

However, this concern only troubled Wen Nan for a very short period—

A mere 80% strategy degree is just a small case for Wen Nan. Let alone a CEO, even if he tackled all six characters at the same time, it wouldn’t be an issue.

What’s troubling Wen Nan now is another more pressing and tricky problem—

Each main quest here is 1 to 2 days long, and there are 5 main quests in total, which means, finishing this map, at the fastest, it will definitely take more than 5 days...

Does that mean he won’t have time to complete the second phase tasks of his guild’s soft opening period?!

Unless... instead of going to the game hall, he recruits members directly on this map?

But right now, adding Wen Nan himself, there are only 6 people at their refresh point, which is not enough for the 10 people required in the second phase task.

However...

Wen Nan recalled the agreement during the test operation period under his guild name in the system community from his mind, and at the top, in the agreement status column—

[Current agreement status: Normal (Last refresh time: 5 minutes ago)]

That means, the system has not yet deemed him in breach of contract.

If this map really only had a total of 6 players, and there wasn’t a mid-exit mechanism, then theoretically, the system should have directly changed the agreement status to abnormal and revoked his private domain the moment he entered the instance.

Since the system hasn’t done this, it suggests... there are more than just them 6 players on this map, and the total number of players is definitely more than 10.

Where are the remaining hidden players? Are they disguised as strategy characters like Yu Xueba in the trial map?

If that’s the case, Wen Nan feels a bit troubled—a single Yu Xueba has troubled him for quite a while; if he had to recruit several Yu Xueba-like advanced players, let alone whether they would be willing, even if they did, his little guild might end up in chaos.

Therefore, Wen Nan feels that at this stage, he should first firmly grasp the easy-to-recruit Little Kalamis.

And aren’t there just 4 Little Kalamis right here?

Therefore, Wen Nan’s primary task at the moment is to find a way to persuade these 4 unlucky fellows—oh no, lucky ones, to join his guild.

Just as Wen Nan was calculating silently, Huang Yan leaned over to him again, forcing a smile that looked worse than crying, "President..."

Wen Nan was startled, "What is it?"

"I’m currently your only treasured member; you can’t just let me die without help."

"Are you going to die?"

"No..." Huang Yan hesitated, then changed his words, "Almost."

He held up a wife-like gentle-looking soul doll in his palm to Wen Nan, "This soul doll, can you... keep it for me? I... I have uncanny valley syndrome, very severe, terminal stage! This thing, if placed beside me at night, will scare me to death!"

Wen Nan was a bit speechless, wanted to say that uncanny valley syndrome is not even a disease at all, but stopped himself, and changed his words: "Can a soul doll be transferred to someone else?"

"It can! It can!" Huang Yan nodded vigorously, "I just researched it, that rule only says the soul doll must be placed within a 1-meter range of a player, but it doesn’t specify it must be the player originally selected for that character. That is, it can be placed beside any player in this map."

Wen Nan glanced at the exquisitely crafted doll in Huang Yan’s hand and fell into deep thought.

Seeing no immediate rejection from the opposite side, Huang Yan seized the moment: "I asked my system, the system said the soul doll can be transferred to another player without affecting either party’s completion.

"Furthermore, after the transfer, the completion of the strategy character, the original system rewards and experience points belonging to me, all will belong to the player to whom it’s transferred. That means, after finishing this map, my upgrade experience, as well as any randomly dropped equipment and Gold Coins, will all be yours!"

Wen Nan was tempted.

Basically, by giving him the soul doll, both characters would be under his strategy, and the experience points count for him?

This deal... he couldn’t ask for more.

As he thought about this, to maintain a good image as a guild president, Wen Nan did not immediately agree but said ambiguously: "I’ll consider it, see how you perform."

The president being willing to consider had already exceeded expectations; Huang Yan was overjoyed and was about to say something more when another player behind him bumped into him, making him stumble to the side.

A young boy with a baby face and curly hair squeezed forward hastily. He looked at Wen Nan as if seeing a savior, with tears brimming in his eyes, and said:

"Big brother, is your guild still recruiting?"
