282 The choice of Faction. (1/2)

When Wang Yu returned to the game the next day, he first helped Mu Zi Xian with the convenience store, then he proceeded to the church of Holy Monastery.

Wang Yu went to the church for a quest. After all, despite the incoming financial crisis, the rewards from quests and monsters would never depreciate.

There would be a storyline quest when players reach level 25, called ”Choice”. That was the quest for players to choose between the Holy Faction and the Darkness Faction.

Wang Yu had some experience with the faction system not too long ago. He knew that there would be a faction buff, and that he could exchange attractive rewards with faction contribution points, once he joined a faction. However, he rejected the invitation from the Darkness Faction, and decided to join the Holy Faction due to his friends in Quan Zhen Sect.

Most of the players had already made up their mind between the two factions before they even joined the game. Since the cities in the game were separated into the two factions as well, the players who wished to join the Holy Faction would have already gone to a city under the Holy Faction with their friends earlier on.

Twilight City was a neutral city, that meant that no faction wars were allowed in the city. However, Twilight City was under the control of the Holy Faction in reality.

Hence, it was expected that most players in Twilight City would choose to join the Holy Faction.

The players could, however, choose not to join a faction at all. They would then become a free-thinker. As a free-thinker, they would not be hunted by the two factions, but the factions would not like them either.

Most importantly, a free thinker would lose access to the faction buff and the various benefits of joining a faction, and hence lost out in the competition. The players were all pragmatic people, apart from the truly dumb ones, none of them would choose to give up on the free benefits offered.

The church was the resurrection point for magicians and knights. Since it was day time, players could not play for too long. Wang Yu followed the quest's guidance and came to the church.

Following the system's tips, Wang Yu came to the Red-robed Bishop, Shaun. Shaun looked at Wang Yu kindly and said, ”My child, you've come…”

”Yes, I face a choice in my path towards strength…” Wang Yu was reading the storyline.

”I know, you've reached a bottleneck during your training. May the Holy God guide you!”

”Praise the Holy God!” Wang Yu said expressionlessly. He thought himself, ”If I have to say such disgusting lines again, I would rather be a free-thinker.”

”Since you are a child of God now, please remove your shroud. Let the holy light of God wash away your sins…” Shaun continued nagging.

Wang Yu had over 200 negative fame in the Holy Faction, so he made sure to wear his mask when he entered the church.

”Erm…” Wang Yu paused, and asked, ”Is the God really willing to forgive me?”

If there was no fame requirement to join the Holy Faction, that would be the best. However, Wang Yu was worried that the Holy God would resent him. Wang Yu had seen enough NPCs to know that the Holy God was actually a bastard.

Wang Yu was not afraid of the two NPC guards in the church. But if the system was to release a quest for the players here to kill him, it would be a pain in the ass.

”Don't worry, my child. You are just a lost sheep who is misguided. All that's in the past should be forgotten. If the might Holy God could forgive even the devil, you could be forgiven as well....”

Shaun was indeed a professional salesman….erm, preacher. He started brainwashing Wang Yu right away.
