270: The player's main copy?

There were no entry options in front of Lin Sheng.

He had thought he wouldn't be able to see the players' activities, but unexpectedly, a blue light flashed, and a rectangular light screen leisurely appeared.

On the light screen, the players' activities were displayed.

They appeared in the vast mountains, clearly having received some kind of quest. Tens of thousands of people densely packed began ascending the mountain from various directions.

The mountain bandits on the mountain discovered them.

Both sides quickly engaged in battle.

Lin Sheng watched for a while, then used his divine sense to perceive again, discovering that this "Ox Slaughtering Mountain" where the players were teleported truly existed in the wilderness of the Hongyuan Dao Domain - the natural area between two cities within the Dao Domain.

Moreover, it was currently protected by a spatiotemporal barrier that was difficult to penetrate.

Even him.

At this moment, he couldn't enter to interfere with the players.

"Is it a main story dungeon...?"

Lin Sheng shook his head.

There were still a few players wandering inside the Saint Descent Hall. Some were just about to enter now, while others seemed completely uninterested.

Clearly.

Whether or not players entered the main story dungeon was entirely up to the players themselves.

Lin Sheng wasn't concerned about whether the players could clear this main story dungeon. Taking advantage of having nothing to do for now, he summoned Sheng Long'er from his mental space.

"Master."

As soon as Sheng Long'er, clad in black gauze, appeared, she knelt on one knee, lowered her gaze submissively, and called out softly with a sweet, tender voice.

Lin Moxuan, standing in front, heard the sound and turned her head in surprise.

Just by looking at the fair, smooth skin revealed on the black-dressed woman's neck and hands, and her captivating, alluring back, she could tell that she was definitely a beauty with an extraordinary aura.

She couldn't help but glance at Lin Sheng in astonishment for a moment.

'This guy... actually has such a beautiful... maid?'

Lin Sheng paid no mind to Lin Moxuan's expression.

He simply waved lightly at Sheng Long'er. The latter naturally walked over and sat on his lap, wrapping her fair hands around him and pressing her delicate body tightly against the man.

"There's a lounge behind the hall, that's my room. You can take Ying and Flower Xiao Hong to clean and tidy it up later."

"Okay~"

Sheng Long'er indulged in affectionate moments in Lin Sheng's arms for a while.

She then got up, and together with Ying, who came out of the bone ring, and Flower Xiao Hong, who came out of the palm-sized world, they entered the back hall.

The Saint Descent Hall was very large.

Just the back hall used for resting had dozens, even hundreds, of rooms.

As the "Hall Master," Lin Sheng naturally kept the largest room for himself.

After Sheng Long'er left, a lingering fragrance remained in the air.

Lin Sheng leaned back on his throne, already thinking about going to the back hall to lie down later.

However, a sudden change occurred within the players' main story dungeon unfolding before his eyes.

He saw a large fat guy about three meters tall leap down from somewhere on the mountain, holding a large hammer in each hand. With a violent 'boom,' he smashed into the crowd, instantly killing dozens of nearby players.

"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"

"A big guy is here!"

"Everyone, watch out! The boss is here!"

"The Third Boss of Ox Slaughtering Mountain? Simple rating? Looks like there are two more powerful bosses!"

"Holy crap! I thought my two thousand mana was high, but a random small boss has seven thousand mana? Looks like the stats in this game are really high!"

When this large fat guy appeared.

A series of information actually popped up beside him automatically.

[Name]: Niu Zhe Zhe

[Identity]: Third Boss of Ox Slaughtering Mountain/Simple·Boss

[Realm]: Second Realm Tenth Level

[Mana]: 7200

[Physique]: 2000

[Health]: 100,000

[Skills]: Dual Hammer Technique (First Grade·Low), Roaring Shout (First Grade·Medium)

Based on the players' discussions, Lin Sheng could basically determine that similar information automatically appeared in the players' view as well.

It was just a small dungeon boss.

He hadn't cared originally.

However, when he saw the players starting to cooperate diligently, using methods like traps, burning the mountain, and poison to quickly kill this boss, he inexplicably felt a sense of sorrow for a fellow creature's demise.

There was also the phrase "Despair·Boss" in his panel.

He couldn't help but start thinking, could it be...

...that there also existed a main story dungeon specifically targeting him?

As soon as this thought emerged, it became increasingly solid in his mind.

After all, judging from the current situation, the probability of his identity being a main story dungeon boss...

...was still very high!

"However..."

"If I am the main boss, then a difficulty like 'Despair' should only correspond to the final boss of the main story dungeon. Before that, there should be some smaller bosses."

Lin Sheng had already investigated all the NPCs in the Saint Descent Hall before.

Including Lin Moxuan and Hong Tianji, he hadn't seen the word 'boss' on them...

"No, wait."

When Lin Sheng investigated Lin Moxuan again, he suddenly froze.

[Name]: Lin Moxuan

[Identity]: Empress's Maid/Lin Sheng's Subordinate/Normal·Boss

......

In Lin Moxuan's identity column, the identity "Normal·Boss" had actually been added!

This was something that wasn't there when he investigated before!

"Could it be...?"

Lin Sheng thought of a possibility.

Before, his relationship with Lin Moxuan was purely that of a superior and subordinate, and Lin Moxuan was even sent by the Empress to monitor him.

If the players were to come and attack him.

Lin Moxuan would most likely remain neutral.

But now, because he had saved Lin Moxuan's parents, she felt gratitude towards him.

If one day the players truly came to deal with him, Lin Moxuan would very likely stand on his side - in this way, she would truly become a small boss in the eyes of the players!

"If that's the case, then it makes sense."

Lin Sheng felt inexplicably excited in his heart.

In this way, wouldn't it mean that any of his allies would become small bosses in the eyes of the players?

If his popularity were a bit better then, and he had a few more allies.

In a single main story dungeon, wouldn't the players have to fight dozens of bosses simultaneously??

What player wouldn't be bewildered entering a scene like that?

The "bandit suppression" operation in the scene before him was still ongoing. Seeing that it would take some time for them to reach the mountain stronghold, Lin Sheng first entered the back hall and comfortably relaxed there for a while.

When he came out again.

He saw at a glance Lin Moxuan standing properly by the door. Her eyes, wrapped in a white cloth, showed no emotion, and he didn't know what she was thinking.

"What are you doing here?"

"Replying, sir, I am here to protect you."

"What do I need protecting from...? Next time I go to rest, you can just go back and rest yourself. Also, you're free to move around, go wherever you like."

"No, the Empress sent me to assist you, so I must properly fulfill my duty."

"Suit yourself."

Lin Sheng returned to the Saint Descent Hall.

From a distance of several hundred meters, he could already see a large number of players dying and exiting the main story dungeon.

And in the dungeon scene before his eyes, a large number of players had already attacked the stronghold and were surrounding the final boss of the prologue.
