2024-02-20 08:30:29Unaware of the chaos in the dungeon, Zen took his time soaking in the tub after teaching Joaquin and Elena how to maintain some of his kitchen tools. The knives were the only tools he didn’t allow them to touch. A chef’s knives were akin to their hands and lives. If he could, he would have a set of ceramic knives made instead, as they were more durable and didn’t need sharpening as much.
While Zen soaked in the tub, he thought about everything that happened that morning. There were still many things to do. He had no idea if anyone in Party Prayer knew what they intended to do. Moreover, Damian’s notes included with the name list were very comprehensive. One of the perks of having alternate reality technology is being able to view documents leisurely while in the bathtub without any risks of ruining them.Damian’s information was more resourceful than Zen’s. Although he spent a lot of credits reviewing every student’s game highlightRelated chapters
Godfather World Big Baller
It’s been a while since Zen visited the shop. He walked through the portal expecting a different setting because it was a museum when he visited the rewards shop with his party members earlier. However, when he materialised at the shop, he saw a familiar bar counter and the same old lady who was snoozing shamelessly.“Hi, Vera. It’s been a while,” Zen greeted, startling the slacking shopkeeper, who quickly pretended she was merely resting her eyes and not napping.Chuckling at the cranky old lady, Zen sat down and looked at the menu. Even if this was a bar created in the system, they updated the menu accordingly. Previously, he ordered a hundred shots. Then, He ordered ninety-two shots. Tonight, he would be ordering only eighty-four. It was tragic that the number decreased each time. However, the migraines they gave him did not reduce.Glancing at Zen, Vera noticed a subtle change in the naive youth that came to her the first time he ordered a

Zen realised something after drinking close to thirty glasses and viewing more than half the game highlight clips from the shortlisted candidates. Apart from Vera’s helpful hints, there was something unique about reviewing the memory clips this time.Previously, Zen could only view them from a camera’s viewpoint. However, he could pause the clip tonight to take a closer view of the surroundings. The new feature allowed Zen to analyse what he saw in greater detail. He used this to help him take notes while viewing a memory clip. The power of technology was amazing.“You don’t seem to need any help recording your thoughts or observations about these candidates,” Vera slyly noted.Zen smirked. Was she playing clueless?“It’s the new feature,” he explained. “I don’t get headaches while I’m viewing the clip. At first, I thought I’d record it after viewing the clip. However, the first girl was so f

Akiko and Liu Feng boosted Party Freedom’s active members until last night’s twenty-first floor. It was close to midnight when they finally got past the demon lord, so Party Freedom didn’t join them in scouting the twenty-first floor. Sasha and Oritha still hadn’t found the dungeon border when Liu Feng and Akiko joined them in Damian’s call. It didn’t matter if they joined later, as they soon bridged the progress gap with their speed. Even so, they couldn’t find the border.“This is odd,” Damian frowned after analysing the data. “I think we should wait for Zen to do anything else.”Exhausted, the assassins agreed and retired to bed while the cyborg worked on putting the strange pieces together. From previous data, dungeon floors were usually confined to a limited stage with monster hunting areas. The cap was three different kinds of monsters per floor, excluding area bosses and secret dungeons. There was nev

As expected, Zen woke up in the afternoon the next morning. Having spent the whole night reviewing clips and finalising the candidates for the new farming parties, nobody bothered him. The only person who enjoyed Zen’s cooking was Liu Feng, who wasn’t fussy about his food for a change. Zen made him a simple congee with chicken strips, eggs and spring onion garnish. He was missing the fried dough sticks, but they were good enough. Liu Feng enjoyed it with Chinese tea while Zen ate the same thing, nursing his throbbing skull.“Did you put this list together yourself?” Damian asked. “It’s different from the screened candidates.”While the girls brainstormed how to work a toaster, the boys in Party Godly Food quietly discussed the new plan to disband Party Prayer. Liu Feng didn’t know who assisted Zen with filtering and decision-making. However, it wasn’t a terrible composition. The style was very unlike Zen, and the intent

Assembling all the birds of prey in the guild meeting room took more effort than Oritha expected. Apart from Oriole, who had to obey summons unconditionally, the other ladies took a while to convince. Damian sent his feeler robots out. Only three of twenty nano-roaches returned. The cyborg was depressed but couldn’t do anything to retrieve his nano-roaches as he was in the middle of a dungeon session with Zen.“It’s a pleasure to meet everyone! I hope we’ll get along,” smiled a voluptuous gothic beauty with black wavy hair and grey eyes. The only thing on her with colour out of a monochrome scale was her bright red lipstick. At one glance, Oriole hated her already.Rachel “Silver Tongue” Morose was well known in their industry for being a great translator. She was a polyglot who spoke over thirty languages and had many admirers. Her sensual nature and maturity made her appear older than she truly was. Even so, nobody dared to under

Compared to Birds of Prey, Party Oasis was a breeze to handle. Akiko felt it was due to the ranking of the members they were recruiting. Many of them had no useful offensive skills and were generally more amicable. Interestingly, the members recruited for Impenetrable Shield's party were mostly intelligent and educated in medical science.“Heavens! Ryan? Is that you?” a bespectacled Asian named Bai Junze gasped after entering the guild meeting room.Stiffening, Impenetrable Shield shot the lanky martial artist a glare. He kept his real name and identity shrouded in mystery all this time. Unfortunately, he met an acquaintance, and Zen will learn of it now.“Shut your mouth if you don’t want to die,” Ryan snapped for the first time since joining Akiko’s guild. The androgynous male had long hair and a pretty face that would make some girls in Birds of Prey jealous.Laughing good-naturedly, Junze wrapped an arm around the pretty bo

Killian “Match” Von Brandt had a sour look as he arrived at the guild meeting room. The new candidates for his party hadn’t shown up yet, giving him an opportunity to confront the Death Princess.“Why did you choose to disband my party?” he tried to keep his tone in check, but the balling of his fists gave him away.Akiko wasn’t dumb. She noticed it. Oriole must have cried to him when her meeting was finished. It was why she arranged for Birds of Prey to be the first party that morning. Too bad she wasn’t able to get rid of that troublemaker. However, the other ladies in Birds of Prey would keep her in check now that she has renewed her contract. If Oriole renewed her contract, Killian would begrudgingly do the same.“For the greater benefit of the guild,” Akiko levelled him with an empty stare. “Did you think our strategies would always remain the same? You’ll be given two options during the meeting. Y

Exhausted, Akiko checked the time. Negotiating terms with Brunus was more tiring than fighting a hundred gunmen without weapons. With how many conditions Brunus wanted to change in his terms, the Death Princess eventually threw in the towel and contacted Liu Feng for help. Oritha bailed when she saw intellectual reinforcements, not that Akiko blamed her. Thankfully, things smoothed over as soon as Liu Feng showed his face. She had much to learn.“If these ants cause you problems, just crush them. I can’t believe you let them overwhelm you with empty barks,” Liu Feng clicked his tongue.Ashamed, Akiko said nothing. Originally, she wasn’t cut out for leading a guild. Like members of Camper, she was also a soloist. It was her first time working with others for an extended period. Two weeks into the academic life, she was already drowning. Was this the difference between an heir and a tool?When he heard no movement or answer from Akiko, Liu Feng r

Godfather World Tea Break
Collecting the rewards for successfully defeating John’s cousin, the party members of Godly Food jumped into the portal leading to the next floor. Zen knew that the dungeon had different themes on every ten floors. The tenth floor of each themed stage would be different from the other stages in difficulty. It was why the vanguard team struggled with the twentieth floor’s boss. In addition to the stage mechanic’s difference, the final boss was also tougher to deal with. If not for the monstrous capabilities of the combatants, Zen doubted they could breeze through the first ten floors as quickly as they did.Anticipating a village or town vibe similar to the other floors from before, Zen was stunned to find himself in a rocky cave full of darkness. It had ominous vibes, and only Liu Feng moved confidently in the darkness. Everyone else minimised exploring further without a light source.“We’ll log out here,” Akiko informed Damian. “Y
Godfather World Big Bad Werewolf
After entering the boss dungeon den, Zen shivered. It wasn’t similar to a wolf’s den. If anything, it appeared closer to an actual dungeon, as if someone had deliberately attempted to imprison the boss here. The stale smell of dogs and many broken chains of different sizes on the ground spoke volumes about John’s cousin.Unlike the short werewolf, who remained in his werewolf form constantly, the boss was a monster who could transform. Depending on the moon cycle, it could be a violent and bloodthirsty monster or a broken man who lived in constant fear and misery of his curse.“He changes according to the moon cycle once the rampage begins,” Akiko explained. “I took a while to figure out how to kill him, even on the first run. He’s immune to damage on a blood moon. We need to finish it as soon as possible.”With a full party participating in a boss battle, Zen had faith they could conclude it before even the blood moon p
Godfather World Weeding a Garden to Protect the Seedbed
Finally approaching the final boss’s cave, Zen wondered if the storyline would change because they had let Han murder John brutally. His body had been hacked into pieces and scattered around the rotting forest. The maggots would get to it soon and reduce it to bones. Yet, the cruel butchering session remained fresh in Zen’s mind.Everyone in the party knew that feeling all too well. Having lived in the underworld, they sympathised with Zen, who had lived like a civilian his whole life. Although not everyone participated directly in the act of murder, they knew what it meant to take a life. Even Damian had seen it happen. He knew how to interrogate for information and was quite adept at the craft when required.“Don’t think too much about it,” Liu Feng was the first to break the silence. “He wasn’t even real. This is a game designed by the Godfather to find the next successor. It’s just another test.”Even if it wer
Godfather World John’s Execution
Even after many years of not being on talking terms with the rest of the family, Hans fitted right in when delving blows at the cowardly werewolf. Mai ripped out chunks of flesh with her teeth, snarling at it the whole time while Laura expertly force-fed the werewolf with different herbs with particularly nasty effects.Even with regeneration abilities, John could not recover from herbs that tasted nasty, gave him muscle cramps or made him itch all over. Laura truly knew how to make someone suffer, and Zen watched with morbid fascination at their different uses. Her apothecary skills were no less effective than those of Herbologist Hernie.“Can you heal him again?” Damian asked. “Han needs another round. Mai roughed him up a little too good.”With a priest in the party who did not worship any known religion, the torture session became smoother and more effective. No apology from John would appease the family’s anger. Although Zen did not
Godfather World Smelly Shortcut
After listening to the story about John, Laura’s expression hardened. “That son of a bitch!” she spat. “How dare he prey on my granddaughter! Where is he now?!” Slightly terrified by the murderous aura, Zen reported that Sasha and Damian had the werewolf at Gabrielle’s hut. Mai had been ripping him a new one each time he regenerated. The girls had been doing a great job of making him miserable. Han was already there. “I can’t believe I’m last at the party. That wolf deserves to die. Even death is too cheap a price to pay after what he did to my husband and son.” For once, Zen agreed. Even if John was merely a character in the game, he deserved death. The fact that the game administrators did not grant John invulnerable stats meant that it was possible to kill the cousin of the floor boss. While waiting for Laura to pack her ‘tools’ and herbal surprises, Zen approached Liu Feng and thanked him for accompanying them. In real time, it was already past regular l
Godfather World Laura’s Pop Quiz
Studying advanced herbalism from Laura took more time than Zen expected. Thankfully, the game had a way of providing cheats for him. Instead of cramming all the knowledge into his head that would give him a splitting migraine, it provided a useful guidebook that would prompt him on what a particular herb does upon location and what combinations he could use it for with other known herbs. The problem was, to truly master this skill, he had to pass the final test. Laura’s pop quiz only had ten questions. However, there was a timer. While Zen could attempt it infinitely, there were thousands of herb combinations to remember. Not having any formal education in either of his past lives, the young chef faltered. “You may use anything in this cottage as a reference for your test,” Laura smirked. “All the best. I hope you won’t disappoint me.” Stressing over the best method to find what he needed, Zen tested a few things. Firstly, when Laura said that the new skill would inst
Godfather World Foraging Encyclopaedia’s Author
While the other party members gathered the family members for a reunion, Zen and Liu Feng finally found Laura’s cottage after taking a wrong turn. Funnily enough, it was the Seer who pointed out how they had been going in a circle before Zen realised he had misinterpreted the map. Knocking on the cottage door, Zen waited with his sworn brother. From inside, he could hear someone coughing badly. “Who is it?” the cranky old lady hacked as she cracked open the door. Instead of seeing her sloppy son or nosy granddaughter, Laura saw a cute priest and a handsome, long-haired warrior. The new adventurers surprised her. Were they lost in the forest? “What do you want?” she asked briefly before launching into a new coughing fit. It was a particularly nasty cold that had persisted for a week now without any signs of recovery. Despite all the herbal medicine she made, Laura did not see any signs of improvement. Perhaps she was getting on in age. Smiling, Zen show
Godfather World Third Option
It was a shame Zen was not with them. Sasha would have gone for a few more rounds, using the cowardly werewolf as a punching bag after Zen healed him. The more they dug information out from the pervert, the worse Sasha’s temper was. Damian did not stop her. The draconian needed somewhere to vent her anger, and it was best for it not to come his way. In truth, the cyborg felt a little sorry for Gabrielle, even if she were just a fictional character created for this virtual dungeon game. The cowardly cousin of the floor boss was no different from lowly thugs borrowing the influence of their powerful relatives to cause mayhem. Whimpering in fear and pain with his tail tucked in between his legs, the werewolf defect who could not transform into a human no matter the moon cycle kept a close eye on Sasha. Under the watch of the merciless draconian female, there was nowhere for him to run. He told them what they wanted to know and was alive for now. Given how tightly they w
Godfather World Cowardly Cousin
Using hand gestures, Sasha signalled the countdown and Damian prepared his stunning spells silently. They only had one chance to catch the secret admirer off guard. Whatever he was doing was disgusting enough. Han wasn’t lying about the obsession. The stalker werewolf was plucking flower petals and chanting Gabrielle’s name to see if she would love him back. Each time the flower petals ended on a no, he would crush the flower, stomp on it and pick a new one, confessing his disturbing love to her before plucking off the petals of a new flower.“Oh, Gabrielle! What sweet rosy cheeks you have, all the better for me to bite into them when they are ripe! They were pink when you were a babe. They were red when you had a fever. I wonder if they’d bleed if I bit them… would you cry in pain and fear? It makes me so excited to think about it! Just wait a little more, my angel. You’d soon be an adult, and we could finally be together!”Disgu
