I'm a God in an Online Game-Chapter 2
Born a God
Though Meng Jingtian was shocked, he quickly noticed that this Level 100 divine turtle had a yellow name. Based on the games he had played in the past, he could presume that this meant that as long as he did not attack this monster, it would not attack him.
This let him relax a little, and at this moment, the old turtle struck up a conversation. 𝒇𝘳ℯe𝙬e𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝒆𝗹. c૦𝑚
“Hey! What have I found? A newborn god!” the old turtle lazily said.
“Ahem, h-hello!” Meng Jingtian saw that the turtle could talk and hurriedly greeted it.
“What sort of god are you?” the old turtle asked as it curiously inspected Meng Jingtian.
“What sort of god?” Meng Jingtian found that he couldn’t answer. Were there different kinds of gods?
What sort of scam game was this? It hid everything, keeping everything secret besides some advertisement terms, saying that the players should find things out on their own.
“What? Do you not have a camp? Gods of harvest, sky gods, sea gods, beast gods, war gods? Nothing?” The old turtle seemed to have a keen understanding of gods.
“Uh, I was just born, so…” Meng Jingtian scratched his head.
“That shouldn’t be! Gods are born through the desires and belief of living beings. They are entrusted with some kind of wish, so they are born with an inclination toward one faction or another…” The old turtle seemed very confused and was almost talking to itself.
“Unless…” The old turtle’s eyes flashed with shock, and it hesitantly glanced at Meng Jingtian.
Suddenly, Meng Jingtian discovered that the old turtle’s Friendliness was madly climbing.
60 points… 70… 100 points!
And at the end, even the Belief that had been at zero bizarrely went up a little.
What was going on? Meng Jingtian was perplexed. The old turtle’s name had even gone from yellow to green.
I want to curse, but I don’t know if I should!
Meng Jingtian was speechless. He had never encountered such a confusing game before.
“Oh God, where are you going? If you don’t mind, let this old bones send you there!” the old turtle fawningly asked, its attitude toward Meng Jingtian seemingly having taken a complete U-turn.
Delighted, Meng Jingtian quickly sent Cai Minghou a message. “Little Hou, what city did you say you were in?”
“Black Tortoise! Black Tortoise City! Brother Tian, when did your memory get so bad?” Cai Minghou quickly sent back a message that was dripping with disdain.
“I want to go to Black Tortoise City. Can you send me there?” Meng Jingtian asked the old turtle, not one to give up on free labor.
“Black Tortoise City, huh… I’ve got a few quarrels with that old turtle, so I can only send you to Seaside City,” Yu Ming said, shaking its head.
Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes and quietly complained,
Aren’t you also an old turtle?
But it was good enough that he could escape this predicament, and he clearly had no right to argue with a Level 100 Divine Beast.
A pitch-black island slowly moved amidst the mighty waves of the ocean, approaching a city on the shore.
This moving island quickly attracted the attention of the players on the coast.
Just like Meng Jingtian, they were also dumbfounded by this game they were in and were still curiously exploring its various facets.
They didn’t need to make characters, and the moment they entered the game, they had their real names as IDs and a game-generated background. They had no idea what else was in store for them!
“Look over there! Isn’t that island moving?”
“It really is moving! Could it be the legendary Treasure Island?”
“The official advertisements said that there was a lucky encounter system. Want to take a look?”
“Starting a team! Starting a team! Exploration team for Treasure Island!”
Those players poking at crabs on the shore suddenly came alive, a few teams even swimming out to Yu Ming.
A look of disgust appeared in Yu Ming’s eyes. “These humans are truly contemptible!”
As it spoke, it opened its mouth and used some sort of skill. A giant wave that was ten-some meters tall suddenly slammed down, easily overturning the crude wooden boats the players were using.
“Ding! EXP + 10!
“EXP + 10!”
These players who had dared to dream about lucky encounters were instantly wiped out by the old turtle. To Meng Jingtian’s shock, it was the old turtle killing the players, so why was he getting experience points?
Even the constant notifications had come at the same time the old turtle was wiping out the players. He instantly climbed from Level 1 to Level 5, gaining five stat points.
This was okay? Meng Jingtian looked suspiciously at his stat panel. He also noticed that his number of believers had gone from 0 to 1.
This old turtle was his believer?
Meng Jingtian recalled how the old turtle’s Friendliness had inexplicably climbed and that one point of Belief.
Huh… so I can just have my believers beat up monsters and still get experience. Is this one of a God’s passives?
At this thought, Meng Jingtian looked enthusiastically at the players on the shore. If he had the old turtle kill all those players…
“I didn’t think that there would be so many disgusting humans hanging around the shore today! God, my apologies. I can only take you up to here.” Yu Ming quickly shattered Meng Jingtian’s delusions, even throwing him straight into the ocean before sinking back into the depths.
“The hell! Weren’t you my believer? Is this how you treat a god?” Meng Jingtian complained the moment his head broke out of the water.
Was that as far as one point of Belief went?
“Holy shit! Someone’s still alive here!”
“Brother, was there anything on that Treasure Island?”
“Did you already get the lucky encounter there, so everyone else got eliminated?”
The moment he reached the shore, a bunch of players gathered around him and began to question him.
“Pah! What shitty lucky encounter? It was just an old turtle! All of you should get glasses!” Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes.
“Stand aside! Stand aside! Which way is Seaside City?”
...
“Brother, aren’t you being a little unfair? You already got the lucky encounter, so we have nothing else to say to you. What’s wrong with sharing a little information with us?”
A player wearing metal armor and holding a long sword walked out of the crowd and stood in Meng Jingtian’s way, ready to fight the moment things went sour.
Meng Jingtian raised his head and used his Divine Examination, immediately making this man’s basic information available to him.
Name: Bai Wensheng
Level:
Race: Human Race
Talent: Iron Body (Additional 5% Constitution)
Starting Skills: Basic Sword Arts, Military Training, Recovery
Identity: The Son of Seaside City Guard Captain Bai Jin
This man could probably be considered one of the luckier players, his equipment much better than the other new players’ and his level also standing out.
“You’re all talking about some Treasure Island, but what sort of game do you think you’re playing? Believe if you want, but a good dog doesn’t block the road!” Meng Jingtian coldly replied, extremely displeased by this man’s attitude.
...
If you want something, act like it! What is this? Threatening me?
Even if it was some Treasure Island, why did he have to provide them information for free?
