CHAPTER 180: CHAPTER 163: MEETING IN BATTLE?

It’s widely known that "Glory of the Gods" is a "national battle" game that ultimately targets the global market.

Thus, both the release and the open beta were launched globally at the same time.

This means that all players around the world start on equal footing, ensuring fairness when the "national battles" are introduced.

However, many might think, since it’s a global game,

shouldn’t the game content be the same for every country?

But the fact is?

It’s not.

This game has varying degrees of difference between countries.

This is not only reflected in the main cities and maps of each country but also in the unique professions and races specific to each nation.

For instance, Hua Country initially has only Dwarf, Human Race, and Beastman Race as selectable professions.

However, in a nation calling itself the Great Wa Island Country, their initial races are Shikigami descendants.

Like Orochi descendants, Amaterasu descendants, and Yellow Springs descendants, etc.

In terms of professional characteristics, their Inscrutable is similar to the Thief.

Also known for their stealthy movements and explosive power.

Besides Inscrutable, they also have traditional professions like Warrior, Mage, and Priest.

Although the Yamato Race does not have a population as large as Hua Country, it has unique features in the gaming domain.

In terms of the number of high-level players, they aren’t much less than the Hua Country players.

As the top Inscrutable in the Yamato Race’s profession rankings, Hojo Takeshi is one of the top players of this race.

Yet on this day, Hojo Takeshi faced the darkest moment of his gaming career.

The Great Wa Island Country, known as the elusive top Inscrutable, was discovered... and instantly killed?!

Even though it wasn’t by a single person, the number does nothing to comfort Hojo Takeshi.

For Hojo Takeshi, being killed is a disgrace, with no excuse to erase it.

If there’s any, it would be to fight back.

"Wait?"

Hojo Takeshi suddenly noticed that a cute Elf was fluttering on the shoulders of these people.

Yet over in his country’s gaming district, such Pets haven’t appeared before.

"Who are they?"

A vague figure suddenly floated into his mind and gradually became clear.

It seemed he saw this Elf on a screenshot that circulated from overseas.

It’s...

Hojo Takeshi’s pupils suddenly dilated, his voice filled with disbelief:

"What!!!"

While Hojo Takeshi was shocked by his speculation, over on Lin Yi’s side...

"It’s still our Hua Country District channel," Tian Ci murmured.

"The rankings are also our Hua Country District rankings," Shuai Diao Zha continued in disbelief.

Everyone looked incredulously at Lin Yi, and Shengshi Zui Gui asked:

"Are you sure we’re now on Great Wa Island Country’s territory?"

Although Lin Yi himself felt a bit absurd, recalling the attire of the player just now and the map scene before him,

Lin Yi had to repeat his previous speculation:

"We are indeed on the Great Wa Island Country’s game map now. That person’s attire just now is from their country’s Inscrutable attire; you can just search online."

"Damn!"

Tian Ci was shocked:

"Isn’t it said that the national battle hasn’t been opened? How did we come over then?"

Lin Yi thought for a moment, finally concluding:

"Maybe it’s a BUG."

Just then, Red Eyes suddenly said:

"Return to City isn’t working."

Everyone saw this and was shocked,

"Then how do we return now?"

Lin Yi said:

"Theoretically speaking, unless we return to Rafam Interior. Otherwise, even if we die here, we will resurrect at the Divine Hall nearby."

Shengshi Zui Gui’s eyes narrowed,

"Doesn’t that mean we can only wait until the national battle starts to return?"

Zhan Chen felt uncomfortable:

"Is there no way to get back?"

The voice of the Werewolf Prophet Yidra suddenly came:

"Find the Cyclops, they know the way to leave here."

Lin Yi calmly said:

"There is!"

Everyone was overjoyed,

"Really? What’s the method?"

Lin Yi then smiled bitterly,

"I think we first need to ensure survival."

Everyone paused,

"What?"

Just then, Xiao Dou Ya pointed down the hill and shouted in surprise:

"So many people!"

Hojo Takeshi was leading hundreds of players from his Beimu Society, approaching Lin Yi’s side step by step.

Watching that group clearing monsters while coming closer,

Shengshi Zui Gui couldn’t help but frown:

"What are they planning to do?"

Saint of Medicine said:

"Doesn’t look like they’re coming for revenge."

But Sweet Orange cautiously planted various enhancing Totems around the group.

And Zhang Xinying restored everyone’s status.

Silent and stable as a mountain stood in front of Lin Yi, while Tian Ci and Red Eyes entered Stealth one after another.

After all preparations were ready, it wasn’t long before Hojo Takeshi led a group and appeared full of momentum before Lin Yi and the others.

These people immediately pointed and whispered about Lin Yi and the others.

Lin Yi vaguely heard words like "Hua Country District," "Feng Hua," and "unbelievable."

Hojo Takeshi halted less than two meters in front of Lin Yi, questioning:

"Why did you kill me?"

Let me say something off-topic, in this age of rapid technological advancement, games involving "multi-country battles" are equipped with translation systems.

For instance, in Hua Country, when Hua Country players encounter players from other countries, both language and text are automatically identified and translated into Hua Country’s text and language.

To facilitate smooth communication and interaction among players from different countries.

The same goes for other countries.

As a phenomenon-level "Glory of the Gods," this basic function is naturally present and greatly optimized.

Just like now, Hojo Takeshi spoke in the Yamato language, but what Lin Yi and others heard was seamlessly in Chinese.

Returning to the main story, upon hearing Hojo Takeshi’s question, even Shengshi Zui Gui instinctively looked at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi said:

"If I say it’s a misunderstanding, would you believe it?"

"Misunderstanding?"

Hojo Takeshi stared at Lin Yi for a long time before suddenly smiling:

"Do you know why I didn’t just kill you right away?"

Listening to the comments from the people behind Hojo Takeshi, it was no surprise that they recognized his identity.

After all, with "Feng Hua’s" notoriety in Hua Country District, rumors spreading to Island Country or other countries being discussed as gossip is not surprising.

Since the game is eventually facing shared servers worldwide, understanding players from other countries is one of many private delights for players.

As for why they didn’t attack immediately, Lin Yi had roughly figured out the answer from their whispers and said with interest:

"Because you need our help, right?"
