Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game

Chapter 30: Chapter 33 Saris’s Twin Brachiopod_1 Chapter 30: Chapter 33 Saris’s Twin Brachiopod_1 “This is your reward for killing ‘The Joker’ and saving ‘Zero’.”

Lin Xun’s pupils contracted sharply, his murder had been discovered!

But the black stockings beauty patted the back of his hand.

The faint smell of violets once again lingered around his nose.

“You don’t need to panic. ‘Zero’ is one of our Intelligence Team, and ‘The Joker’ is our enemy. Without you, ‘Zero’ would probably have been sacrificed.”

Previously, when Lin Xun manifested the shell and committed a murder, he had always been concealing this incident, but he unexpectedly ended up saving an informant from the Intelligence Team.

Li Xingyue asked him about the details of the incident, and Lin Xun didn’t hide anything, telling his boss everything.

“You’ve really given me a big surprise.” Li Xingyue flicked her long hair behind her ears, looking quite enchanting: “I never expected that you could possess and materialize the shell of a Law Knight and eliminate our organization’s enemy just after entering the initial chapters. I really made the right choice.”

“How did you manage to do that?”

Lin Xun chuckled, avoiding the question, and asked back, “Are the organization’s enemies the Apostles who recklessly use game powers?”

Li Xingyue didn’t continue her inquisition, shaking her head: “The Joker is just a lowly member of our opposing organization. Our real enemies are not that simple…”
With the black stockings beauty’s explanation, he roughly understood who the organization’s enemies were.

Registered Apostles are just a small portion of the real players, a large number of Apostles secretly hide among the public, not under the organization’s regulation.

Those Apostles who initially obtained supernatural powers often get their heads dizzy with Extraordinary strength, and they intentionally or unintentionally use game powers to satisfy their own desires.

The organization has a very easy time ‘persuading’ these people to reform.

The ones to worry about are those Apostles with agendas and organizations.

The organization called “New World” consisted of these unlawful Apostles, of which ‘The Joker’, who Lin Xun killed, was a member.

They have strict organization and discipline, a meticulous internal structure, and even a consistently unified group goal.

Such hidden organizations of Apostles are what truly give the official headaches.

At this point, Lin Xun couldn’t help but wonder what kind of unified goal was making these Apostles willing to risk fighting against the Apostle Peacekeepers.

Li Xingyue didn’t answer his question directly, instead she started talking about Lin Xun’s talent.

“I reported your talent to the headquarters. According to the headquarters’ analysis, the Thousand Faces and Million Forms talent can increase shell columns in the game, and these shell columns should also work in reality.”

“The headquarters looked through all registered Apostles’ talents. They concluded that your talent is likely able to add a deceased shell to its column in reality!”

“You probably haven’t even noticed it yourself yet, right?”

Lin Xun frowned, he could indeed see the possession option in reality, but hadn’t expected that after possession he could directly add shells to his own shell column.

The organization’s strength was really extraordinary. They could analyze the effect of game talents in reality just by looking at them.

“You really are a rare talent!”

Li Xingyue’s captivating peach blossom eyes curved into crescent shapes, seemingly very satisfied with his talent: “I promised you before, I would negotiate the best treatment for you.”

“Here you go.”

Something appeared out of nothing in the black stockings beauty’s hand.

It was a glass box about the same size as a glasses case, with two finger-thick pink things wriggling inside.

On a closer look, Lin Xun realized they were two conjoined tendrils, writhing back and forth just like freshly cut octopus tentacles.

[Twin Tentacles of Saris’s Body (Epic Item): The remnant of Saris’s deformed Divinity lingers on the tendrils. After use, you may obtain 1 point of Divinity.]
“This item can enhance the soul talent. I had to beg and plead the headquarters for it. Consider it as an investment in resources on you.”

Lin Xun’s heart jolted, it was an item with the same function as the Blood Sun gemstone he had previously obtained!

Seeing his shocked expression, Li Xingyue pushed the item into his hand, smiling: “In recognition of your outstanding talent, I will plan the action based on your situation for this mission.”

“The mission this time is a beheading operation against the middle level of ‘New World’, and it’s expected to be carried out late tonight. Note that you cannot leave this building in the meantime.”

“Alright, you can go rest on the second floor. I will inform you of the specifics before the action tonight.”

Lin Xun nodded, leaving the office and returned to the second floor.

The second floor workstation was deserted, with girls’ laughter coming from a room down the side corridor.

He followed the sound and found his female colleagues all in the gym.

What he saw next made him stop in his tracks.

Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the gym, sisters An Yun and An Ying were already at the office unexpectedly.

The two sister-in-laws, one pushing down on Ye Xiaoqi’s legs, the other holding Lu Caiyi’s waist.

The four were all in snug, cool, short yoga outfits, performing various difficult and somewhat embarrassing poses on the mat, showing off their amazing figures.

It was clear that the twin sisters were instructing Ye Xiaoqi and Lu Caiyi in yoga.

The women seemed to see Lin Xun and waved at him.

“Hey handsome, come do yoga with us.”

“Come over here, little brother, and help sister with her legs.”

Lin Xun used tremendous willpower to politely refuse.

For no other reason than that he hadn’t stored up any drafts for his online novel- if he didn’t start writing soon he would fail to update…

Back at his own desk, he turned on his computer, opened his author’s assistant, and began typing away.

Unwittingly, time flew by and the sky outside the building darkened.

After completing two epic 2,000 word chapters, Lin Xun was just about to stretch.

But he found that someone had quietly approached him from behind.

Turning his head, he saw it was Ye Xiaoqi.

The short-haired beauty had moved a chair at some point and was sitting behind him.

The girl pushed her petite glasses up her nose and was gleaming at the web novel he was writing.

“Why did you stop? Keep going, wasn’t the male lead just making a move?”

Ye Xiaoqi nudged his shoulder, urging him on.

Lin Xun pulled a face, speechless.

The shame of revealing he writes harem novels in front of his female colleagues.

“Hurry up, keep going. Don’t you dare skim over this part.”

Lin Xun abruptly shut off his computer, saying weakly: “…Comrade Xiaoxi, I write serious web novels, if I write as you suggests, I’ll get a 404 tomorrow.”

“What a drag.”

Ye Xiaoqi pursed her lips, noticing it was lunch time, so she took him to the cafeteria down the hall to have a working meal.

After dinner, under the temptation of Ye Xiaoqi’s monthly tickets and recommendations, Lin Xun couldn’t resist and opened his computer to write again.

This time, there was another woman behind him — Lu Caiyi.

The girl in white had a look of wanting to watch but not daring to, observing from the workstation behind him in secret.

An Yun and An Ying were playing on their phones in the nearby lounge, seemingly recovering their soul strength, and rushing back into the underworld game.

Lin Xun threw himself into typing; as long as he wasn’t embarrassed, everyone else would be.

Writing a harem web novel in front of two beautiful women, he found it surprisingly thrilling.

His thoughts flowed, inspiration surged like a burst dam, his hands moved swiftly, and the keyboard clicked nonstop.

Having finished two more chapters, and with the time nearing ten in the evening.

Lin Xun’s soul strength had recovered, bidding farewell to his two beautiful colleagues still engrossed in the web novel.

Picking an unoccupied lounge by the corridor, he stepped inside.

He pulled out his phone, launching the game.
