Chapter 325 Stars
Gravity changed quietly, and when he opened his eyes again, Li Sheng was already standing in a rather spacious ancient Chinese-style study.
The study was elegantly furnished, with ancient landscape paintings hanging on the wall, pens, inkstones, and paper on the desk, and scrolls and classics with a faint scent of ink on the bookshelf. The window lattices were carved, and the curtains were lightly hanging. The sound of waterfalls flowing from the window could be clearly heard.
There were eight people standing in the study. Li Sheng, Yuan Zhixia, who received the same task, and two others were wearing black clothes, and the other four were wearing white clothes.
Everyone looked at each other, carefully looking at each other, waiting for the system briefing.
[Three thousand years ago, an extremely tragic battle between gods and demons destroyed Buzhou Mountain, causing the connection between the earth and the sky. The heaven and the earth, the gods and humans were isolated from each other and did not interfere with each other. It was no longer possible for practitioners to ascend to the immortal world, and their life span dropped sharply to two hundred years.
[Seeing that there was no hope of ascending, the practitioners had no choice but to take steps to govern the devastated human world, spontaneously forming the so-called Immortal Court, formulating laws, restraining and controlling disputes between practitioners, and imposing sanctions when necessary.
[Xiaoshui Sect, from a ruined sect, has become the third largest sect in the human world in less than 150 years under the joint leadership of the head of the sect, Xiaoshui Xingjun, and his wife, Miaoyin. The couple lived in harmony and worked together, and were regarded as a couple of immortals by the world.
[However, from their youthful love to their mutual dislike, the couple's marriage could no longer be maintained for various reasons, and they eventually broke up and went to the Immortal Court for divorce arbitration. This century-long divorce case that shook the human world has begun.]
[In this mission, eight players will be divided into two groups, as lawyers, representing Xiaoshui Xingjun and Miaoyin Jushi, to conduct court debates, collect evidence, refute the other party, and strive for the interests of their clients as much as possible]
The briefing ends here, and the following is the mission details.
[Second-stage mission goal: win the divorce case for the client Xiaoshui Xingjun]
[Task time limit: 72 hours]
[Task reward 1: 1500 experience points]
[Task reward 2: 5000 game coins]
[Task reward 3: Random item * 1, quality depends on the clearance evaluation]
[Task reward 4: Random skill scroll * 1, quality depends on the clearance evaluation]
[Task reward 5: Xiaoshui Xingjun's thank you gift * 1]
[Failure penalty: Xiaoshui Xingjun's anger]
Ah, this
Li Sheng rubbed his eyebrows. No wonder he gave a huge reward of 5,000 game coins in one breath this time. It turns out that this is really a world view based on fantasy cultivation.
Especially the final task reward and failure penalty are even more fascinating.
If you complete it well, you can cleanse your marrow and hair, be reborn, implant top-level spiritual roots for free, and also receive a cave, exercises, and spiritual medicine gift package?
If you don’t complete it well, you will be happy to receive the Eternal Soul-breaking Banner and the Demon-Locking Tower?
The other people who also heard the task briefing had different expressions, and unconsciously, they stood on both sides with black and white clothes.
Obviously, the lawyers wearing black clothes are the lawyers representing Xiaoshui Xingjun, and the lawyers wearing white clothes are the lawyers of Miaoyin Jushi.
After a short silence, a handsome man in white with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes spoke first: "You should have heard the mission briefing, right?
This team deathmatch does not require fighting each other, but a simple court debate.
Considering that the briefing mentioned words such as gods and demons, immortal world, Buzhou Mountain, and Jedi Tiantong, even in the myriad worlds of the killing field, the power level is relatively high.
In other words, we will not be given the opportunity to use force or use crooked ways to end the mission early."
As if to verify his words, the man drew a rusty bronze sword from the void and slashed it diagonally towards the ground.
The sword tip spewed out a murderous aura, but before the sword energy touched the ground,
the bell hanging by the study window rang automatically, and the sword energy dissipated instantly.
'Is this...forbidden extraordinary power? ’
The other people’s eyelids jumped. Some missions will have such a peace zone where private fighting is prohibited at the beginning. In the past, it was directly driven by the system.
This time, because it is in a high-power level world, the killing field simply took a break and used the world background to rationalize the setting of the peace zone.
“We haven’t seen our client yet, and there is no knock on the study door, so this is still a peace zone. To show sincerity, here is my personal information.”
The man in white put away the bronze sword, snapped his fingers, and a string of words floated above his head.
[Ziwei·Zhongtian Beiji][Lv31]
Yo yo yo, isn’t this Gou Chen’s brother?
Li Sheng’s heart moved. After the Toy City mission, he specially collected clues about Zhongtian Beiji.
This man’s parents are wealthy Malaysian Chinese businessmen. He received elite education since childhood, and participated in the Mathematical Olympiad with excellent grades. He is proficient in fencing, equestrianism, and skiing. When he was at Stanford University, he and his classmates set up a website for cryptocurrency and sold it for 10 million US dollars.
He is a legitimate successor to capitalism.
Until the killing field came, he was randomly selected as a player because of his own qualities (there are also rumors that he used his family connections to command the gang to kidnap and murder a local novice player, killed him and plundered his qualifications), and then immediately kicked out the daughter of a local official who had just been engaged to him, and plunged into the killing field world with all his heart, steadily and rapidly upgrading until he became the current Lv31 and the acting head of the Southeast Asia region of GOC. Well. Because some factions within GOC were secretly fighting for power, Zhongtian Beiji's agent prefix could not be cancelled.
However, as long as he can continue to upgrade and make achievements, he will be promoted to the general manager of the Southeast Asia region with a population of nearly 700 million.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
In the study, Zhongtian Beiji had a frank expression and a stern look.
The other players who had heard of his name also showed their IDs after thinking.
In the Miaoyin layman camp,
a middle-aged white man with a suit and meticulously groomed from hair to toes, was shown as [Legal Tycoon Howard] [Lv17]
a thin and short old man with an unremarkable appearance and cloudy eyes, [Unknown Man Haye] [Lv20]
a twelve or thirteen-year-old person with a delicate and perfect appearance that was difficult to distinguish between male and female, and who looked a bit like Tadina Papamoshe, the heroine in the old Greek movie "Iphigenia", [Human Computer Ada] [Lv5]
Not good, this.
Li Sheng's eyelids jumped. As a high-intensity user who has been hanging out in player forums for many years, he likes to read all kinds of strange news.
This [Lawyer Tycoon Howard], like Zhongtian Beiji, chose to disclose his player identity very early.
In the real world, he is a partner of the famous Ruisheng International Law Firm, specializing in corporate transactions, environmental law and tax law.
The clients he serves include Prometheus, European Heavy Industry Group, and Thousand Maw Beasts. When there are business conflicts between these large organizations, but they don't want to tear their faces and go to war directly, they will find lawyers to negotiate according to the recommended laws issued by the GOC.
Howard's well-known record is that he helped the Thousand Maw Beast Guild to sue Gen-Sys Biotechnology for infringing the patent rights of the Thousand Maw Beasts and plagiarizing several biological enhancement preparations for magic pets, successfully making Biotechnology pay 300,000 game currency points.
And the second Haye is even more heavyweight. He is the apprentice of Jacques Vergès.
Jacques Vergès is a famous French lawyer, known for defending some highly controversial cases. He was born in 1925 and died in 2013. His father was a French diplomat and his mother was a Vietnamese teacher. Because his parents married in an interracial way, his father was demoted, which made Vergès develop a firm anti-colonial ideology since he was a child.
After becoming a left-wing human rights lawyer, his defense targets include, but are not limited to, Klaus Barbie, the head of the Gestapo in Lyon, France during World War II, Carlos the Wolf, a terrorist during the Cold War, Milosevic, the former President of Yugoslavia, and Saddam Hussein, the former President of Iraq.
His home is also filled with gifts from these "human stars". In his own words, "Defense does not mean making excuses. A lawyer does not make judgments, condemnations, or acquit someone. He just tries to understand the situation as much as possible."
(According to the evaluation standards of the toy factory, if Vergès were still alive, he would definitely be able to squeeze out A-level and S-level concepts)
As Vergès' assistant and disciple, Haye has also appeared in newspapers many times until he was selected as a player at the age of 80 a year ago, almost breaking the age record of the player community.
The two people in the Miaoyin layman camp are "celebrities" in the legal community. Although the last Ada is only Lv5, she is not simple considering the title of humanoid computer.
And on his side.
Li Sheng turned his head and looked behind him.
