I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

Chapter 361: Chapter 241: Main Quest Begins_3

They opened their own panels to check and saw that although the description for the main quest was still blank, it was indeed displayed as unlocked.

“The main quest is divided according to each faction, and each has a different target… It’s a bit like a faction war?”

The Horseman said with surprise.

“It seems that’s the case. The current turmoil originated from the Red Apple Church, so they are most likely the boss of this version. All factions will revolve around them…”

Dongyang pondered and analyzed.

“Based on Jack’s attitude, our Circus should be hostile to the Red Apple Church. The second stage of the quest will most likely involve a confrontation with them.”

...

The others nodded in agreement.

Chenxi, Su Keying, and Wei Yin were browsing through posts on the game forum.

They looked very surprised.

“Take a look at the forum. Other players have also received notices that the main quest has started, and indeed, as Dongyang said… the mission target for players of each faction is different.”

Polaris opened the forum built into the panel and noticed that the number of newly posted threads was massive, with new ones popping up every second at a very fast pace.

He casually clicked on a few.

The content of the posts was a share from players, some even included screenshots of the mission.

About three months into the open beta, the vast majority of players who were keen on exploration and adventure had joined various factions, striving to step into the Mystic Realm and become a Transcendent.

Institutions like the Seven Righteous God Churches, the Shelter, and other hidden supernatural organizations, and slightly less prominent ones, had also found their way into local gangs, merchant guilds, and various odd associations.

Quite a few players had clearly started the second stage of their quest, such as those from the Sun Church, the Shelter, and a few of the Righteous God Churches. Their objectives were quite unified, which was to eliminate a certain number of “Fallen Believers” and maintain regional stability.

If they could kill clergy and key figures of the Red Apple Church, the rewards and the Contribution Points for their faction were highly significant. Clearly, the players were being encouraged to fight against the Red Apple Church.

“It’s getting exciting! Once the main quest starts, these major supernatural organizations will definitely offer valuable rewards, such as Supernatural Knowledge,” Dongyang said with a deep breath and a chuckle.

“Soon, there will be more and more Transcendent players among the community.”

“And you’re still laughing? Our advantage may soon be caught up by other players,” Chenxi poured cold water on the situation.

But Dongyang just shook his head.

“What’s there to be afraid of… I have a lot of confidence in the Circus and Jack, and I’m confident in our Hall of Valor. As long as we have that NPC, we can always stay ahead! And it’s only fun when there are more Transcendent players!”

The group chatted idly for a moment.

Suddenly, Dongyang, Chenxi, and other high-level guild members seemed to receive some sort of message, looking pleasantly surprised.

“Brother Polaris, everyone has arrived; we don’t need to wait… Later we’ll all enter the Circus’s task hall ‘Lakeside Cottage’ through your ‘Silver Serpent Ring’! Our mission can also be completed!”

Dongyang said.

Chenxi and Doghead Gold responded as well.

Perhaps due to the emergence of the main quest, the guild’s efficiency shot up suddenly, probably because the higher-ups also realized the value of time and had hastily rounded up some “strongmen” to help Dongyang and other formal Circus members quickly complete the “Token Upgrade” quest.

For solo players like Su Keying, Polaris, and Wei Yin, it had been agreed that the Hall of Valor, Chuxi, and God’s Love, three guilds, would put together some manpower to help them meet the “player number target.”

Everyone was on the same battle line, and this little favor wasn’t a big deal.

“Alright,” Polaris let out a breath and nodded in response.

Immortal Realm.

Lakeside Cottage.

Players began arriving one after the other, the young men and women curiously surveying the area.

“Wow! Is this the Circus’s public area?”

“It’s so beautiful!”

“Truly breathtaking! It’s like a new world… As Polaris said, once our Tokens are upgraded, we can enter here anytime we want. It’s so convenient!”

“Anyway, as far as I know, players from other factions don’t have such a feature.”

“Yeah, even players from the Seven Righteous God Churches, I haven’t heard of such a convenient Token.”

The entering players were abuzz with discussion, wandering in pairs or small groups, looking and touching everything around with great interest.

Under the clear blue sky, a gentle breeze swept across the endless grasslands.

To the left and right, there were metal signs planted in the ground, and directly in front was a wooden cottage with a grapevine in front and a statue of Mr. Jack beside it.

Beyond the cottage, a lake could be glimpsed in the distance.

The whole area was stunningly beautiful.

When the total number of players reached 50, the addition of new players was halted.

“Eh? There seems to be a player limit… Only fifty players can enter at a time,” Dongyang noted this phenomenon and mentioned it to Polaris and others.

The other experienced players looked around and nodded.

“That’s true, but even so, it’s quite nice… After all, it’s a public space that’s not limited by time or location, which is very convenient for us,” said Polaris.

“The Circus is something special… Or rather, Mr. Jack is something special!” Dongyang exclaimed.

Then he and Chenxi, Doghead Gold walked over to the other players, instructed them to explore the area on their own, exit when their Sanity Value was nearly depleted, and then let other guild members enter to replenish the numbers, always maintaining a count of 50 people.
