Chapter 413 - To Sway
TL: LifeisaJourney
From the 40 lucky souls that were saved in the soul storage to the unfortunate players whose bodies would be selected for sacrifice, it was all part of the conspiracy.
Zhan Nan Shan had to supervise the laboratory facility. His most important concern was increasing the soul-seizing success rate, especially when a person’s soul became more powerful as their level rose. A powerful soul like that, when stuffed into a feeble body, the chance of it not exploding was very low. This was a mentally exhausting obstacle, which was why he chose to remain in isolation from the village. He couldn’t manage two places at once, so he gave leadership over to Qiu Zi Tao. This was an inevitable decision since he valued the duty of a soldier.
Another factor Zhan Nan Shan had to consider… With such a huge Village, it would attract the attention of other high level beta players or high level native players on this island.
This was something Zhan Nan Shan wanted to happen. If such people were to appear, then he could shorten the time he would have to nurture people. Once strong individuals appeared, he could use his scheme to lure them into the Mountain Valley Laboratory for the three trials. After completion, they would willingly enter into the spirit-seizing capsules under the false promise of obtaining rewards. Then his comrade-in-arms could take over the body.
To thoroughly plan this out, he even had Qiu Zi Tao cooperate beforehand. On the first trial, Qiu Zi Tao purposely killed several of his companions and left the remains behind. This was a facade to confuse the later players into thinking that there were three trials.
Without a doubt, this scheme was extremely elaborate. Even Liu Gan, when he was in the lounge of the first trial, was tricked into believing in the facade; he thought the three trials were real.
When Liu Gan first showed up to the village, Zhan Nan Shan didn’t worry about it too much. He could measure up Liu Gan as around level 10. At most, Liu Gan would’ve been a match for one of his comrades. However, Zhan Nan Shan’s opinion of Liu Gan started to change after the battle with Qiu Zi Tao. Zhan Nan Shan had a whole new level of respect for Liu Gan. It was mainly due to Liu Gan’s ability to make prompt decisions that the village was handed over to Liu Gan. At the same time, the map revealing the Mountain Valley Laboratory was also handed over to Liu Gan.
Zhan Nan Shan knew that every strong individual would want to continue gaining experience to self-improve. These individuals would be interested in these types of secret laboratories. It would only be a matter of time before they found the location once they had the map.
When Zhan Nan Shan communicated with the Dragon Commander regarding Liu Gan, it turned out that the Dragon Commander was very interested in that person. Since Liu Gan’s performance in the three trials was outstanding, both Dragon Commander and Zhan Nan Shan were very pleased with the result.
During this period of time, the laboratory had a breakthrough research in implanting souls. Now, the body of lower levels could withstand the souls of higher level players. Through this new process, the player’s body underwent a transformation. As long as it was a body that belonged to a level 5 player, when injected with a level 11 or 12 soul the body would reach at least level 10 during the strengthening process.
Dragon Commander made a decision; he didn’t want to wait any longer, so he orderedZhan Nan Shan to revive him in Liu Gan’s body. He believed that with such an outstanding shell, even if it was a lower level, it wouldn’t be a problem. It wouldn’t even take him long to return back to level 15.
