As a former player himself, Lis was very aware of the players' conduct and was not worried at all that they would tell the Boditch Royal Family about this information.
It was a joke—this was a Gold-level task, the only one since the game had been launched. How could they possibly give up this opportunity!
Moreover, now that Lis had advanced to the Gold level, the experience points he could offer were already quite substantial, and even those unorthodox players wouldn't pass up the experience points right in front of them.
Lis noticed that the player with the names [Invincible Scoundrel] and [Shrimp and Turnip Stew] had left, but the one named [Lonely for Drunkenness] had simply leaned against the wall and collapsed.
"Is this... logging out on the spot?"
Lis looked at him, growing interested.
In "Divine Revelation," players' bodies didn't disappear after they logged out; they truly existed in this world, which is why players needed to build a home to preserve their logged-out state bodies.
This person must have been in a hurry to log out to spread the news, but there wasn't much of a problem for such a short duration. It just looked like a mercenary who'd drunkenly fallen asleep on the spot, at most, someone might swipe his belongings.
After a moment's thought, Lis descended from the air and used a spell to conceal both himself and [Lonely for Drunkenness].
He had always been curious about why players appeared in this world, because he could affirm that he and this world truly existed, rather than as just a segment of code.
The existence of players was quite peculiar. Back in Bright City, he had studied this, but at that time he was only at the Silver Level, and nothing special had happened.
The players' bodies were no different from normal people.
Now that Lis had advanced to the Gold Rank, it was a good opportunity to probe the situation of the players.
Lis didn't check the player's body again; based on past experience, he felt the problem wasn't with this body.
Since players could respawn, it meant their bodies were reproducible, only it was unclear by whose craftsmanship.
The deities seated in the Temple of the Gods?
Even gods with strong divine powers couldn't do this!
You see, the number of players was quite formidable, and most importantly, players could become priests of different gods.
If some deity was behind this, then why go through such trouble? They might as well have just compelled these players to become their followers and provide them with the power of faith.
The power of faith from millions of Extraordinary Professionals, even if each was small, would still make the strongest deity, surely.
But in Lis's memories from his previous life, there was no deity potentially linked to the origin of players.
You see, by the time players had broken through to the Gold Level, they had already become a very important force in Gaia World. Even so, no deity took any special actions, and the reactions of the Church of the Gods were mostly the same—mainly focused on attraction.
As Lis examined the status of [Lonely for Drunkenness], he pondered.
Soon, Lis slightly furrowed his brow.
He hadn't found anything, but he could feel the state of this player, even his soul appeared unproblematic, as calm as if he truly had just fallen asleep.
After a moment of thought, a colorful dreamy light flashed in Lis's eyes.
[Sphinx Dream Building Skill]!
Since breaking through to the Gold Level, Lis could clearly feel his significantly enhanced control over various abilities.
His control over the Power of Dreams was the same; he could now observe scenes within the Dream World without having to enter it himself.
Of course, many other manipulations still required entering the Dream World.
In Lis's eyes, the city before him suddenly blurred with a veil of fog, obscurely mirroring the location in the Dream World.
The boundaries of space and time began to blur, with specks of Dream Space appearing before his eyes.
Lis looked at the position corresponding to [Lonely for Drunkenness], and then he was taken aback.
The area where the Dream Space should have been was now completely empty!
