Chapter 68: Lord God, That’s Enough Already! |
After discovering that the coarse cloth sack did not work, Lord God began searching for other things again.
“Lord God, can we stop messing around already?”
“The inside of this church can be seen at a glance. There really isn’t anything valuable here.”
“And most importantly, this place is extremely dangerous.”
Although Vivian frantically shouted in her heart and analyzed all the pros and cons, it had absolutely no effect.
“So the bug got fixed, huh.”
At this moment, Jiang Chen stroked his chin thoughtfully.
During his first stealth attempt, Jiang Chen had already discovered roughly how the game’s stealth system worked.
At first, Jiang Chen thought the stealth system in this game was similar to those in other games.
But then he discovered that this game had additionally implemented a sound mechanic.
The inclusion of this mechanic undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of stealth.
And now it seemed that not only had they added a sound mechanic, but more importantly, they had also added a recognition function.
The purpose of this mechanism was that while in Stealth Mode, abnormal objects would be identified, causing the system to classify them as attack targets.
Situations like before—where a random box was abruptly placed somewhere, yet even after an NPC noticed it, they still treated it as completely normal—would no longer happen.
The benefit of this mechanism was that it greatly increased stealth difficulty.
The game became more playable, but for players with poor controls, it was an enormous negative improvement.
“However…”
As he spoke, the corners of Jiang Chen’s lips slightly rose.
“The fact that they managed to discover the flaws in the stealth system so quickly means I have to admit these developers do have some skill, just not much.”
As a player with abundant gaming experience, Jiang Chen’s mastery over various game mechanics and his ability to exploit all kinds of bugs had long reached perfection.
As for this stealth system revision, Jiang Chen’s evaluation was that it was somewhat useful, but not by much.
…..
After listening to Jiang Chen mutter endlessly about this mode and that mechanic, Vivian found herself completely confused.
But Vivian was absolutely certain of one thing—Lord God had no intention of leaving this place just like that.
This was truly terrible news.
Looking at the many strange magical relief carvings around them—
Although Vivian could not see their vision ranges, she was certain that no matter how careful she was, she would still be discovered.
But at that moment, Vivian suddenly thought of something.
“So that’s it.”
At this instant, she suddenly understood everything.
There actually was a way for her to avoid being detected by these things.
It was just that she had overlooked it all this time.
“Divine Blessings Skills. Lord God must be waiting for a Divine Blessings Skill. As long as a Divine Blessings Skill is used, it would absolutely be impossible to get exposed.”
After spending this period of time with Jiang Chen, Vivian felt that she herself had seemingly become more cunning too.
Silently giving herself praise in her heart, Vivian began calculating how much longer she needed to wait.
“It probably won’t take too long.”
“Once Lord God uses that skill and wanders around here, after discovering there’s nothing valuable, he’ll probably leave.”
“Then I can finally go back and rest.”
That was what Vivian thought.
However, Vivian quickly realized she had overthought things.
Because Lord God moved.
“Huh? He’s not waiting for the skill anymore?” Vivian was somewhat surprised.
Immediately afterward…
“The new recognition mechanic really is an interesting feature.”
“But remember this! AI can never defeat humanity!”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen took out the Blood-Red Scythe and lowered his gaze toward the floor tiles beneath his feet.
They were square floor tiles roughly one and a half meters wide.
Then, under Vivian’s utterly incredulous gaze, Lord God controlled her body to pry one loose.
Afterward, he held the floor tile and swaggered outward openly.
This entire operation completely shocked Vivian.
No… Lord God, what exactly are you thinking? What’s the point of doing this?
And then…
No… why did this actually work?!
Vivian discovered that while holding the floor tile above herself, she could casually stroll through the church as though entering an unguarded realm.
At this moment, Vivian felt like her entire mind had gone blank.
No, your church’s surveillance system has such an enormous flaw, and none of you even realized it?!
For a moment, Vivian truly did not know what to say anymore.
At this moment, Jiang Chen’s voice rang out.
“Just as I thought, this mechanism is still very simple.”
“This is way too easy.”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen began searching all around inside the church.
“There’s no way. How could there be absolutely nothing?”
After searching several times and finding nothing, Jiang Chen could not help feeling somewhat puzzled.
As for the possibility that there was truly nothing here—it basically did not exist.
The surveillance system here was set up so thoroughly. Jiang Chen absolutely refused to believe it was merely to protect a few tables and chairs.
“Could it be that I overlooked something?”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen continued searching again. He refused to believe he could find nothing at all.
A long while later…
Jiang Chen helplessly leaned back against one of the seats.
“Impossible!”
“Absolutely impossible!”
After conducting such an extensive search, Jiang Chen was nearly angered into laughter by the game’s design.
Such strict surveillance, and it really was just to protect those tables and chairs?!
“Damn it, are these game developers mentally ill?!”
“Do they really have to be this ridiculous?!”
“No! Absolutely not!”
“As the saying goes, thieves never leave empty-handed!”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen straightened back up and stared fixedly at the game screen.
Then his gaze shifted toward a certain direction where many coarse cloth sacks were piled. If nothing unexpected happened, specialized workers would probably come clean these things out tomorrow morning.
“Since there’s no valuable treasure here, grabbing some random stuff to exchange for Gold Coins can at least count as compensation.”
Thinking this, Jiang Chen immediately began operating again.
The Evil God’s words shocked Vivian quite badly as well.
No…
Lord God, what exactly are you saying?
What do you mean thieves never leave empty-handed?!
And Lord God, what are you planning to do now?
Vivian saw something unbelievable.
“Her” body first walked up to the nearest snake-head relief carving. After carefully adjusting the angle, “she” picked up the scythe transformed from Misty Moon Dream and immediately began prying at it.
This scene completely stunned Vivian.
And the most outrageous part was that Lord God’s movements were unbelievably skillful. In just a few quick motions, he dismantled one of them.
After tossing it into a sack, he immediately ran over to pry off the second one.
And while prying, he kept muttering strange things like—
“Never underestimate a player’s innate talent for scraping the ground clean.”
