Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Go for It, Macbeth’s Conspiracy
The fact that the game’s attribute boosts could influence reality had already been enough to shock Dylan.
If items from this world could be brought into reality, it would be terrifying.
He knew how powerful the Demonic Creatures were in this world. The player who was currently the strongest was Johnnie, but he was certain there were even more terrifying beings in this world.
Dylan thought of that Lina, an elite researcher in the Life Field of the Apocalypse Group.
It was said that The Elixir of Immortality was conquered by Lina’s team.
He felt that these secrets weren’t told to Johnnie by The Red Carp, but by that Lina herself.
Dylan thought for a moment, then said, "Johnnie, this matter is too big. I need to report it to the higher-ups."
"Okay. Take the National Founding Decree first." Johnnie had already said everything he needed to say, and what the higher-ups decided was not something he could control.
If he couldn’t work with the military, at least he needed to make sure the military wouldn’t get in his way.
"Thanks." Dylan took the National Founding Decree and thanked him, then looked at the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield. He added, "Sort out these weapons and give them back to me. If you know the price, I still want to buy them."
"No problem." Johnnie didn’t care about it. He already didn’t look at other purple Epic-level equipment, and his people didn’t need that many weapons either.
Dylan nodded in gratitude and logged off.
Johnnie, after a day of fighting, was a bit tired. He focused his mind and cut the game connection, returning to the real world.
It was rare that all the girls were in the game.
Johnnie felt a bit comforted, but when he looked at the empty room, he felt a bit out of place.
He ate a little something, and scrolled through the Horizon forum.
One post caught his attention.
Shocking! The Novice Village No.177 has had a change of events.
"Hmm, the seal on the Novice Village No.177 has been lifted?" Johnnie was surprised, and he checked the content of the post.
The seal had disappeared, and any level of player could now freely enter the Novice Village No.177.
Johnnie furrowed his brow. The time when the seal was lifted was actually ten days earlier than in the previous life!
It seemed that due to his rebirth, the course of some events had changed.
He clearly remembered that the seal on the Novice Village No.177 being lifted led to a riot, but it wasn’t the players who caused it. It was the strong ones from the Universe Continent, all racing to seize the Change Class Scroll of the Mage of the Five Elements.
"Tomorrow, I’ll go into the Novice Village No.177." Johnnie made his decision.
Originally, he had planned to help the Yett family’s offspring to Change Class into a Sword Immortal, complete the fourth stage of the Sword Immortal class, and then enter the Novice Village No.177.
But with the seal lifting earlier than expected, he was afraid there wouldn’t be enough time.
Johnnie was already at the peak of Stage 3, and with the Celestial Dragon bloodline, his strength had increased greatly. He remembered that the strongest person who had tried to seize the Change Class Scroll of the Mage of the Five Elements in the previous life was only at the level of a Stage 5 Rare Boss. He was now more than capable of dealing with that.
...
The Second Front.
Dylan reported the game intrusion incident to the Supreme Commander Noah and called an emergency meeting.
"Dylan, tell us again what happened in the game." A sharp, energetic old man spoke with authority.
He was the Supreme Commander of the Second Front, Noah.
"Yes!" Dylan stood up, gave a salute, and looked at the dozen people sitting around the table. Their ranks were all higher than his.
He repeated again what Johnnie had said in the game.
A moment of silence fell in the meeting room.
"Is this too alarmist? It’s just a game." a middle-aged man frowned and said.
An invasion of alien races in a game? He didn’t believe that could happen.
A senior man looked serious and said, "It might not be baseless. Macbeth from the Apocalypse Group is really strange. I watched his recent videos, and he really seems to have turned young again. It doesn’t look like a fake. I think we should prepare for the worst."
"Agreed. The Western Alliance is up to no good. They’re trying to isolate us. If this game can change reality, it’s a big opportunity for us."
Several people nodded in agreement.
"Dylan, does this Johnnie want to cooperate with us? How much do you know about him?" A thin old man with thick glasses asked.
Liam, the Deputy Commander of the Second Front.
Dylan immediately replied, "Liam, I only met Johnnie for two days, but I can feel he’s a person with a sense of right and wrong, and he has a sense of national righteousness. He’s also willing to help us. I think we can cooperate with him."
"Is it proper for the military to cooperate with an ordinary person?"
"Can we recruit him into the military, or get him to follow our plan?"
"Exactly. This matter is not to be taken lightly. There can be no mistakes. We must keep this Johnnie under our control."
...
Everyone was talking among themselves, and they all agreed to cooperate with Johnnie, but he had to join the military and follow their command. n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
And that Lina had to serve the military as well.
Dylan frowned and said, "Seniors, this might be a bit difficult. I can feel that Johnnie doesn’t like being controlled. If we put him under our military’s control, he probably wouldn’t cooperate with us."
"It’s not possible to cooperate with someone who’s not part of the military."
"Exactly. He has to be one of us."
Everyone spoke up and agreed, showing no sign of backing down.
Dylan sighed helplessly and looked toward Noah, seeking his help.
He knew that the final decision still rested with the Supreme Commander.
Noah furrowed his brows and remained silent.
He actually agreed with bringing Johnnie into the military, but he didn’t want to restrict such a capable person too much.
Hum...
At that moment, the phone on the table started to vibrate softly.
Noah looked at the number on the screen, his expression turned respectful, and he signaled everyone to be quiet. He stood up and answered the call.
"Comrade, this is Supreme Commander Noah of the Second Front." His voice was respectful.
"Yes, I understand." He quickly hung up the phone and sat back down, his expression slightly serious.
No one in the meeting room spoke. Everyone just watched him silently.
After a while, Noah finally spoke:
"Dylan, the higher-ups have told you to go ahead and do it. We won’t interfere in any way."
"Yes!" Dylan was happy and quickly stood up, giving a military salute.
"Also." Noah continued, "pull the security forces away from Johnnie’s villa. That guy doesn’t need our protection. Everyone else can leave. Dylan, stay behind."
Everyone stood up, gave a respectful bow, and left. The meeting room was now empty, with only Dylan left inside.
"Supreme Commander, is there anything else?" he asked, confused.
Noah hesitated for a moment, then said, "There’s a personal matter. Lina is in Johnnie’s hands. I don’t know if she can still brew The Elixir of Immortality. I want to request a copy."
He wasn’t asking for it himself, but for the old commander.
The old commander was getting old and had been in the hospital for a long time. He was near the end of his life.
Dylan said, "I don’t know about that. I need to log in and ask him."
"Okay, as soon as possible. If Johnnie can provide The Elixir of Immortality, I’ll agree to any request within my ability." Noah was very eager.
Dylan nodded, bowed, and left immediately, logging into the game first.
But Johnnie wasn’t online.
He sighed helplessly. It looked like he would have to wait until Johnnie logged in tomorrow to ask about it.
...
Western Alliance, Apocalypse Group.
Macbeth had a dark expression. The repeated failures against Johnnie’s actions had made him very frustrated.
He looked at his subordinate and asked coldly, "Has the news about the Novice Village No.177 leaked out?"
The subordinate quickly replied, "Sir, it has been spread out. That Johnnie is definitely going to come."
"Good." Macbeth had a twisted smile on his face as he said coldly, "If I can’t kill him in the real world, then I’ll trap him in the game forever."
As long as he could trap Johnnie, he would find a way to kill him in the real world and retrieve Lina.
"Also." he continued, "what about the Doe Family?"
The subordinate said, "The head of the Doe Family has already started to act. He’s trying to take over the martial arts families in the Dragon Nation. If they resist, they’ll be eliminated."
Macbeth nodded in satisfaction and waved the subordinate away.
Although there had been a few setbacks, it was good that everything was still going according to his control.
...
It wasn’t until after eight o’clock in the evening that Crysic and the others finally logged off.
"Johnnie, you logged off so early today?" Crysic looked at the already-offline Johnnie, surprised.
The girls all gathered around, but their eyes on Johnnie looked a little strange.
He was a bit confused and asked, "What’s up?"
"Nothing." The girls quickly shook their heads.
Especially Holly and Cecilia, they were deeply lowering their heads, their faces red.
Johnnie thought of something,Lina must have told them about his ability to have multiple partners.
"I’ll go make dinner." Crysic said, winking at him and rushing to the kitchen.
"I’ll help you." Holly and Cecilia quickly followed.
"Cecilia, wait." Johnnie stopped Cecilia and asked, "Have all your family members entered the game? What level are they at now?"
He had been too busy these days and hadn’t had time to ask about the Yett Family.
Cecilia said, "They’ve all entered the game. My brother has already left the Novice Village. The rest of them will reach Stage 1, Level 10 in about three more days. But my grandfather is still Level 1. I don’t know if it’s because that old man is too slow. He said he got a hidden quest and is stuck in a secret realm."
Johnnie was speechless. He knew that Atlas was usually strict, and Cecilia was really being too disrespectful.
It must have been some kind of adventure. Otherwise, Atlas wouldn’t have been stuck in a secret realm.
Atlas was in the Novice Village No.902. In the previous life, Johnnie hadn’t heard of any special events in that Novice Village.
What surprised Johnnie was that Finn had already left the Novice Village.
"Let your brother hold off on leveling up for now." he said. "Tomorrow, I’ll help him change to a Hidden class."
Johnnie decided to first help Finn change to the Sword Immortal class, then go to the Novice Village No.177 and finish the Change class task for The Mage of the Five Elements as soon as possible.
"Cecilia, what level are you at?" he asked, looking at her.
"I’m already at Stage 1, Level 5. In two more days, I’ll be able to leave the Novice Village too." Cecilia said with some pride.
