Chapter 277 The Troublesome Alien Race
Although the alien assassination attempt on Liuyun Star, which ended before it even began, has come to an end, its impact continues. In particular, the immortal gods and their many followers who attended the banquet all used this incident as a topic of conversation with their friends and acquaintances. In addition, the fact that the assassin was the strongest genius of the current generation of the Virtual Universe Company, who was very influential, caused the news to spread rapidly at an astonishing speed.
As a result, not only did Suk and his friends and family come to inquire about their well-being, but Eloi also had to deal with her fellow disciples and friends.
Virtual universe.
"Senior brother, I'm really fine, don't worry. Yes, I'll be careful."
After the communication screen disappeared, Suk looked at Eloi on the other end and sighed, "It feels like I've stirred up a hornet's nest."
"Everyone is concerned about us," Eloi said. "You've seen it yourself, things are even more chaotic on Flowing Cloud Star. The space army is searching everywhere for spies, and all the families and factions are starting to panic."
A hint of worry flickered in Eloi's eyes. "I didn't expect the alien races to be so reckless, actually sending a Marquis-level official to infiltrate. With all the factions in such disarray, they're probably worried about spies within their own ranks."
"Yes, it's impossible to guard against," Suk remarked.
He originally thought Liuyun Star was safe, but he didn't expect that alien spies could still infiltrate.
If it were an immortal deity, the Virtual Universe Company's intelligence department would investigate thoroughly and monitor it closely. But a Realm Lord would be more troublesome. There are so many Realm Lords on Flowing Cloud Star, who come and go frequently, making it very difficult to monitor them completely.
Who knows if there are still alien races lurking on Liuyun Star?
However, he was not too worried about spies within his family. Firstly, the "consciousness imprint" of the mother nest meant that most of the higher-ranking subordinates in the Su family manor were under control. Secondly, he had his own "eye of insight," which made it impossible for anyone to disguise themselves.
However, the Eye of Insight can only see information if it notices the other party, which means the other party is already close, so it's not entirely safe. "The alien race failed in their assassination attempt this time, so they definitely won't give up," Eloi worriedly said. "I thought it would be safer on Flowing Cloud Star, but I didn't expect something like this to happen."
Suk fell into deep thought.
He also knew that with his and Eloi's current fame, the alien race would definitely see them as a thorn in their side. Just by looking at how they were willing to sacrifice two Marquis Immortals this time, it was clear that the alien race was determined to deal with the couple.
Although the assassination attempt failed, as long as the alien race still exists and has not given up, another assassination attempt could occur at any time. The thought of a group of alien races lurking in the shadows, constantly eyeing him with predatory intent, gave Suk a headache.
However, Suk was unaware that the alien race was also facing a headache.
Located in a spatial interlayer within a desolate star field of a certain cosmic kingdom, there exists a vast divine kingdom, with a majestic golden temple suspended above its center.
"Master, the operation has failed." Several humans in golden robes knelt inside the temple, heads bowed in awe.
"I already know what happened." A voice as gentle as a stunningly beautiful woman's came. "The target suddenly left and followed the human powerhouse to attack, causing us to lose two important pieces. Perhaps the intelligence was leaked, or perhaps the humans discovered a weakness somewhere?"
The servants below didn't utter a sound; little did they know that the mission had failed, and that was that.
Not only did we lose two important pieces, but an intelligence network and several outposts were also discovered. Although they were cut off in time, the losses were still heavy.
The woman's soft voice, as beautiful as a peerless beauty, said, "Since the operation has failed, the targets will definitely be on guard. Moreover, the human race has already taken notice this time and will not give us another chance so easily. Let's put the matter of dealing with the two targets on hold for now and continue to keep an eye on things."
This operation is a "pawn swap," exchanging two important pawns lurking among humanity for two promising human geniuses. Simply killing them is useless, since they can be resurrected. What she wants is soul control. In this way, humanity will lose two powerful individuals.
Unfortunately, it failed.
What puzzled her most was how such a meticulously planned mission had failed, and how her own people had been exposed.
So not only are humans investigating, but the alien races are also investigating where the problem lies...
Since the assassination attempt, the atmosphere at the Su family manor has changed. Not only have the two guard leaders become serious and led their guards to strengthen security, but the Virtual Universe Company also seems to be taking action, although the extent of its effectiveness remains to be seen.
Suk stayed at the Su family manor, spending all his time except for being affectionate with Eloi and cultivating.
"Let's check how those players are doing now." Luckily, Suk has a group of sweet little friends to keep him occupied.
Through the perspective of the "Mother Nest of All Things," Suk can see the status of any player who is still alive.
There are now a million players active in this universe, staging one grand drama after another.
"These players' thinking is really strange." Suk had been studying these mysterious 'players' for a long time.
They have a kind of "consciousness filter" and "cognitive modification," completely treating this real and vast universe as another life game, and no one seems to notice anything wrong.
Suk recalled a saying that most people are unaware of the passage of time or that they are dreaming when they are dreaming.
These "players" are dreaming right now.
Even if a long time passes and many things happen, it only affects their "vessel" in this world, not their "higher-dimensional consciousness".
Once you wake up, it's difficult to recall the specific details of the dream.
After studying for so long, Suk guessed that these players wouldn't "get stronger." The essential change was in their "vessel" in this world. Just like people playing games in real life, they need to create an account on the server. All operations on the account only change their account data and don't affect them personally.
Most importantly, these guys have the same mentality. After so many years, they are still "unchanged from their original intentions" and are still lively and energetic.
They are indeed aware of the passage of time, but for them, it is merely a matter of 'data change'.
These world-destroying powerhouses before us are merely powerful NPCs.
That kind of "high and mighty," "playing with life," and "treating everything as nothing" mentality was unbelievable even to Suk.
Because of this mentality, many players have been causing trouble over the years, and death has become a common occurrence for them.
They're either causing trouble, or on their way to causing trouble.
Some of those who leveled up quickly are already close to becoming Domain Lords!
There are those who have mastered the field and comprehended its laws!
"So, this is what a player should be like," Suk exclaimed.
Fearless! Undeterred! Loves to cause trouble! Does whatever he wants!
This was the invincible natural disaster he remembered, one that could overcome everything.
Even if the powerful beings of the primordial universe could reverse time and resurrect, being unafraid of death is one thing, but treating death as a game is another. And there aren't many with such a fierce mindset.
