The Boss Behind The Game

After asking the butler, the players found out that the members of the Wood Spirit Clan were indeed allies.

This allowed the players to let their guard down, and they began to engage in small talk with the members of Wood Spirit Clan.

The Wood Spirit Clan was also curious about these players that called themselves the descendants of Beiqi and were very willing to talk to them.

However, the more they talked to them, the more confused the Wood Spirit Clan became. They almost thought that they had crossed over to the Mansion of the Dead in a different dimension.

This was because the Mansion of the Dead that the players spoke of was definitely not the Mansion of the Dead that they knew.

For example, according to the players, the King of Beiqi and the Black Dragon King had perished together. The Wood Spirit Clan only wound up even more confused as they did not even know who the Black Dragon King was, only that he seemed like a powerful person.

The Wood Spirit Clan was also extremely confused as to who Lu Mo and Fatty Chef were. As they took in bits and pieces of information, they started to have an existential crisis, wondering if the life they knew to be was fake. It was either that or the players themselves were fake.

However, the same thought occurred to all of the Wood Spirit Clan after they had heard how the players had united as one and killed Cha Na after a night of fighting.

These people are so good at bragging that they do not even blink when they do it!

The Wood Spirit Clan suspected that these players would continue bragging until the cows came home if they were not stopped.

In their opinion, although Cha Na was weaker than other Ghost Kings and Ghost Generals, he could not possibly have been as weak as described.

However, this doubt turned to shock when they saw Cha Na's decapitated head hanging on the wall of the Mansion of the Dead. They realized that these guys truly were strong.

The appearance of the Wood Spirit Clan was quickly revealed in the forum by the players, with many curious players from around the world flooding in just to catch a glimpse of the Wood Spirit Clan.

The players' friendliness had made the Wood Spirit Clan let their guard down, and they too began to mix around the players.

However, the players' enthusiasm had also made some maidens of the Wood Spirit Clan feel very uncomfortable as they felt that these players were approaching them with some sort of intention.

In the forum:

Kindred_Spirit: "What a pretty and gentle girl from the Wood Spirit Clan, a thought suddenly appeared in my mind."

Assassin_Creed replied to Kindred_Spirit: "It is impossible, all the girls are very kind, don't even think about flirting with them."

Xueli_The_Strongest: "The guys of the Wood Spirit Clan are very handsome too, unfortunately I already have a boyfriend, so I can only enjoy some eye candy~"

Millenium_Cold_Iron: "I got injured when I leveled up at the Ghost Mountains, but then I met a girl from the Wood Spirit Clan who healed me, I feel like I have fallen in love (Embarrassed~)"

Cutie_King_Slime: "Sure enough, 2D beauties are the real beauties. My lonely soul burns, I want to reserve one in advance!"

Crayon_Shinchan: "I seem to smell the stench of loneliness... (funny)"

Watermelon_Taro replied Crayon_Shinchan: "You're probably the most powerful troll in this forum! (funny)"

Crayon_Shinchan replied to Watermelon_Taro: "Hehe~ (funny)"

Pmurt: "Going out to sea to watch the sunrise and sunset with a girl of the Wood Spirit Clan, together in the beautiful sunset…"

Crayon_Shinchan replied to Pmurt: "I suspect that there's an important message hidden in your ellipsis, I will report you first! (funny)"

…...

Lu Wu welcomed the arrival of the Wood Spirit Clan and had further requested the butler to arrange an area between the Mansion of the Dead and Liuli District to become the new domain of the Wood Spirit Clan.

According to Bei Li, the Wood Spirit Clan were loyal to the King of Beiqi, and they had outstanding abilities that would allow them to play the roles of military doctors during battles, all of which could help the players.

The Wood Spirit Clan and the players had different thoughts on the history of Beiqi, so in order to be safe, Lu Wu had instructed the butler to bring the Wood Spirit Clan to the Mansion of the Dead. Using the excuse of having them swear their loyalty upon the statue of the King of Beiqi, Lu Wu had them read out the pledge of allegiance on the artifact prepared by Bei Li.

After the artifact had received the pledge of allegiance, the Wood Spirit Clan were then sent into the artifact for memory modification to become new NPCs.

Lu Wu did not care whether the players intended to flirt with the Wood Spirit Clan, as there was a set regulation in the game that only allowed players to be together if it was consensual.

This regulation, proposed by Lu Wu and set up by Bei Li, was initially set to protect the players. Later, protection for NPCs was added and players were then only allowed to have intimate contact if their intimacy levels had reached the score of 100.

Lu Wu also used the artifact to include the Wood Spirit Clan into the protection list, so the players were unable to cross the line unless everything was consensual.

During this period, the Wood Spirit Clan integrated into the crowd of players quickly. To them, the players were gifted combatants with special talents and were part of a secret force cultivated by the King of Beiqi.

However, the Wood Spirit Clan were stunned when the players showed them their gift of the undead for the first time.

These beings had the terrifying ability to return to normal within three hours even if they had died. The sheer knowledge of this shocked the Wood Spirit Clan to their core.

Now they knew how these people, who called themselves players, and the descendants of the King of Beiqi, had defeated Cha Na.

They also felt the absurd relief of having allied themselves with these players.

However, since the Underworld was enormous and mystical, they slowly got used to the idea of it after getting closer with the players. At the same time, they used their inherent talent and capabilities to become the players' medical aid station.

In the beginning, they felt panicked when players would come to them for help after getting poisoned or seriously injured, and they would give them emergency treatment. Yet after a while, the Wood Spirit Clan got used to it and became calmer, in fact, even calmer than the players themselves.

When they came across those who were seriously injured, they could even mention phrases that they had learned from the players.

"Bro, why are you scared? You'll be fine after three hours. Your injury is incurable, it's better to die earlier and return online earlier!"

"Ah, your injury is too troublesome, why don't you die first and empty your bed for the next person?"

"Hey bro, your injury is a little scary. Let's not waste any more time, could you please die first?"

The changes in the Wood Spirit Clan stunned the players, but as a result, the cultural and societal gap between them had disappeared. Now, they would even mix around and chill with the players.

In addition, the Wood Spirit Clan had another ethnic characteristic, which was wine-making.

The wine produced by the Wood Spirit Clan tasted mellow and had the effect of regenerating vitality points. Moreover, it was not intoxicating at all. The players loved it very much and were often found trying to curry favor with the people of the Wood Spirit Clan in order to drink some wine.

After getting closer to the players, the people of the Wood Spirit Clan were inevitably affected as well. Occasionally, some internet slang would spill from their mouths, and these kinds of changes shocked Lu Wu. One's environment truly does determine the character of a person.

Even the peaceful, easy-going and elegant Wood Spirit Clan were unable to escape the destiny of being badly influenced when they were together with the players.

The reputation of the Fourth Disaster was truly well-deserved!
