I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 593 - 322: June, Sky Trap_2

The original order was indeed on the brink of shattering, but with the Saints and players, all the adventurers who dared to disrupt the order were eventually dealt with.

The remaining people had always been working hard to preserve their world, just to survive. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Therefore, they did various laborious tasks every day.

Even though there were more natives than players, most of the natives were ordinary people, not adventurers, who now had to undertake some of the adventurers’ tasks, and the adventurers’ tasks were more laborious than ever.

"So many, it needs time," Gu Shanhai did not find any reason not to work. Now if he did not work, no one else would. He still had some spare time, and moreover, it was the task of the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers. Other Saints were really hands-on, busy without a moment’s respite.

Because of these matters, they rarely held meetings.

In the past six months, they had only held three meetings, which indicated how busy they had been.

The appearance of the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers did not horrify the adventurers who transported equipment, as they had become numb from frequent encounters.

They simply went to the open space to rest; for them, this was a rare holiday, so they seized the time to entertain themselves or take a nap.

However, it seemed the pressure was not small; some adventurers needed strong liquor to be able to sleep.

Seeing this scene, Gu Shanhai had the illusion that this group of people was being exploited as workers, more importantly without any salary.

Indeed, the adventurers were basically working for free, luckily with food, accommodation, and equipment included, which meant they were being kept. At this time, the Saints would not be overly concerned as long as you worked. Resources were not a major problem.

Boom!

A sudden loud noise came, and Gu Shanhai only felt the earth shaking.

He abruptly stood up, his expression serious. The group of adventurers who were about to rest were also startled, with a horrified look appearing on their numb faces.

"Not... not good, the sky is falling apart!" an adventurer ran in, shouting in terror.

At that moment, Gu Shanhai understood that the impact of the Great Ruin on the entire Adventurers’ World had once again escalated, catching the players’ items and skills off guard, causing a huge hole to be torn in the sky.

This hole was not only above the area where Gu Shanhai was located, but it also existed in other places.

The ground shaking quickly subsided, and the hole in the sky was continuously illuminated by various lights to ensure ongoing healing.

However, the efficiency of the healing was slow, as it kept tearing and collapsing.

Clearly, some players were attempting repairs.

The sky was important, serving as a barrier for the world. If the sky wasn’t there this time, the entire world would be shattered by this tremendous shaking.

The players were aware of this situation, hence they promptly set about repairing the sky.

"What are we going to do..." an adventurer asked Gu Shanhai, looking somewhat desperate.

Here, Guang Shanhai, the Dusk Saint, was at the top of the pyramid, so it was normal for him to be asked.

"Oh, just keep working; don’t think too much," Gu Shanhai indicated that the young man simply didn’t have enough work. He’d add more tasks to keep him too tired to think of anything else.

This was indeed a bit ruthless, but at this point, there was no other choice. Living in a drunken stupor contributed nothing; better to keep someone busy until they were numb, at least that way they could contribute a bit more.

The other person nodded numbly, though he, too, knew that what Gu Shanhai said was out of necessity; the world was like this now. Everyone had only six months left... no, six months was just the limit. With the continuing approach of the Great Ruin, it was possible the world wouldn’t last even that long.

So, they could only get by as best they could.

Nowadays, every adventurer looks a bit unkempt. They just don’t care about appearances anymore.

Gu Shanhai understood that even if they survived this ordeal, the entire world of adventurers would still fall into difficulty.

The continuous expenses alone left the world in an extremely awkward position.

Resources were still available at the moment, but settlements with contributing players had to be made after passing through. With billions of players, even if each took a little, it would result in a huge amount of spending, and players were asking for a lot.

The Saints couldn’t simply refuse to pay their debts since it was what the players deserved for saving the world; they couldn’t refuse them just because it might impact the advancement of civilization.

Any native who had seen what players were capable of wouldn’t think about reneging on debts. After all, if players could save your world, they could just as easily destroy it if you defaulted.

As time ticked away, five million pieces of equipment were all modified as per the agreement.

The adventurers quietly gathered their gear and departed.

They had other duties; bringing equipment to Gu Shanhai for processing was just one part of their jobs, not their whole job.

"Ugh, this kind of despair really saps one’s strength." If it weren’t for Gu Shanhai having a backup plan, he might have given up too, given the state of the world.

"Speaking of which, Rein sure made a name for himself quickly."

Gu Shanhai looked at the letter sent by Rein, brought over by the adventurers delivering the equipment.

Rein’s adventure group, although small, had become a core force with his personal charisma and ability, even forming a new system with various major adventure groups.

Being a protagonist, it wasn’t surprising to Gu Shanhai that Rein had such capabilities. Besides, he was still in the adventurer’s world, protected by such a powerful entity; it would indeed be troubling if he hadn’t risen to prominence.

"But speaking of which, Rein is daring, risking having a child at this time." Gu Shanhai couldn’t help but marvel.

The letter mentioned that Vier was pregnant, only a month in.

"Sigh, they must be under a lot of pressure at this time." Gu Shanhai knew that not everyone had the courage, especially with the end of the world looming.

Gu Shanhai hadn’t told Rein and his group about his backup plan, so Rein ’s willingness to have a child indicated his confidence in saving the world. Of course, there was no other option.

Even if one wanted to slack off, it wasn’t possible. Gu Shanhai could take it easy because of his high status as a Saint, but if an ordinary person or an adventurer dared to slack off at home, they’d be taken for forced labor immediately, since everyone else was working hard; how could you just sit back and do nothing?

Even if you were shameless enough, they’d use force to make you regret that.

"With Rein showing off like that, it’s no wonder he’s caught the eye of those top-tier players, especially those with simulators and text alerts."

The letter also mentioned that many players had recently befriended him. Rein hadn’t rejected them; perhaps these players had their own agendas, but as long as it benefited the world, he was willing to associate with them.

Rein also didn’t reveal any information about Gu Shanhai, knowing that Gu Shanhai preferred not to get involved, clearly having left the scene.

So, Rein wouldn’t disclose anything that might disturb Gu Shanhai.

In Rein’s eyes, Gu Shanhai must be very busy now, as he had seen many Saints recently, all busily working without rest, and Gu Shanhai being a Saint would surely be equally busy.

"It’s just your ending the letter saying all is well; isn’t there something off about that?" Gu Shanhai commented sarcastically. The world itself was hardly safe, yet Rein was telling him everything was peaceful...

You see, the world’s very skull had just been punctured, and if not for timely rescue, its brain matter would have been sucked out.

After putting away the letter, Gu Shanhai continued observing the great ruin. As it approached, this unreliable method of observation could gather more additional data.

This was his daily work now, unfortunately, although called additional data, there wasn’t much.
