"Did you find it, idiot?"
Orson leisurely grabbed a small stool, holding a mug of malt beer in his hand.
Berenice: "Ugh, it's just a useless stone. Why the rush? Let's go raid the lord's treasury instead!"
"Don't, I want that damn stone," Orson quickly dismissed her idea. The last ti they raided the Holy Light Church's stronghold, they almost got spotted by that terrifying woman. Even though the Sakura District guardians weren't as insane as her, raiding the treasury now could still bring considerable trouble.
"Strange... Why has the barrier to the south disappeared?"
Soon, a long-serving NPC guard on the city wall rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Inside the lord's manor, Berenice swiftly raided the belongings of several lord's personal guards, and after turning one of the wizard lords' hos upside down, she finally obtained a black stone.
"Ding-dong—"
"My dear servant, the barrier stone is secured!" Berenice mimicked the system notification tone, and a streak of light quickly flew toward him.
"Good job, my endless wealth will be split with you in half!"
Berenice: "Pinky swear~~"
Orson grinned as the black stone labeled [South Barrier] appeared in his inventory.
"Brave and fearless adventurers, do you need my help?" Orson donned his hood and walked toward the resurrection point, where the players of Thousand Hands were gathering.
"NPC? Orsix, what a strange na."
"Hidden mission? Why is a hidden mission triggered at a ti like this?"
A few Thousand Hands guild mbers frowned. An NPC had approached them, which probably ant a lucrative mission, but they weren't in the mood to take on any quests right now.
"Or...six?"
Naoko turned to look at the hooded mage, her eyes widened in shock. "It's you!"
"Eh?"
Orson was caught off guard. He hadn't expected to be recognized so quickly. "What went wrong? Was I speaking too fast, or was my accent too heavy?"
"Do you think you can fool us UJ District players with such a la disguise? You must think highly of yourself," Naoko couldn't help but laugh.
They had researched every piece of Orson's data countless tis, and his previous disguises were also included in the intel. To eliminate this troubleso figure hindering their corporation's future [Co-Prosperity Plan], Naoko had made various contingency plans. The worst-case scenario was to repeatedly die dozens or even hundreds of tis with all mbers of the guild, just to bring this man down!
But now, this man was trying to use the most rudintary acting skills to disguise himself as an NPC and trick them. It was utterly ridiculous!
"I'll see where you run!" Naoko said with a smug smile, and the Thousand Hands guild mbers, elated, rushed out from the resurrection point, determined to kill Orson.
"Wow, a bit of brains, I underestimated you," Orson feigned surprise, then started to retreat quickly.
"You've lost, Orson!" Naoko said with pride as she commanded the guild's players to initiate the kill.
"Yes, yes," Orson shrugged in resignation.
In an instant, hundreds of attacks surged toward him like a terrifying wave. Orson activated his jetpack, leaping over a hundred ters, and many of the attacks missed.
"Success! The Dragon Empire's invincible Sorcerer's golden body is shattered!"

Naoko rejoiced at the sight. Since Orson had only used a special magic item to escape and hadn't used any space items, this ant he was just struggling to fight back.
"Naoko, the king of UJ District, deliberately feigned weakness to lure the enemy in!"
"Haha, look at this US dog, tail between his legs running away. And he dares to enter the city alone to seek death!"
"Brothers, the bounty is still valid! Kill him, and you'll go down in history in the Infinite Dinsions cross-server battle!" Kitagawa laughed heartily and nocked his arrows, ready to fire.
Without the help of his battle beast, Naoko believed that the top US Sorcerer was nothing special. With that, a volley of tracking arrows tore through the air, heading straight for Orson's back.
After almost being burned alive earlier, Orson had prepared himself by taking a fire immunity potion in advance.
"Light Rod!"
Naoko swung her staff, casting an A-grade healing magic, summoning a glowing spectral rod.
In Infinite Dinsions, summoners could develop hidden professions based on any fundantal class, but not all base classes were suited for this. The best choices were healers with healing abilities or mages with powerful AoE damage.
"The president's too much. The bounty he posted, does he want to claim it himself?"
"Sigh, you can't bla Naoko for losing her calm. Killing the Dragon Empire's number one Sorcerer—who wouldn't want that glory?"
A few guild mbers laughed bitterly, eyeing Orson's 40-level ultimate legendary gear. If they could snatch sothing in the chaos, it would be a huge profit!
While the Thousand Hands guild mbers were distracted, Orson's cold voice interrupted them: "Magic Eye."
The Emperor's Ear Ring shimred, and the space portal appeared again.
"Please, everyone, co in," Orson said with a smile, glancing back at Naoko, who was now visibly shaken.
"This is impossible... The city barrier prevents space magic from opening!" Naoko panicked. Once again, Orson had shattered her understanding of the ga, and the last shred of her arrogance evaporated.
Could it be that he really was a cheater? If not, how could she explain everything that was happening?
Orson waved at her with a smile, continuing, "I know you've all been eyeing the vast resources of the US District. So... I sincerely invite you all to join in the Era of Conquest."
Era of Conquest? The UJ District players exchanged confused glances, and Orson smiled and added, "Exactly as you think. I, Orgod, leader of the Godslayer Guild, will enslave you all from now on."
Orson paused, his voice turning cold: "You don't want to pay the Tithe? I understand, but I've lost my patience."
"You..." Naoko stamred, unable to imagine the consequences if she let him escape. All the players in the UJ District would never know peace again!
Orson didn't give her a chance to continue speaking. He turned coldly and stepped into the space portal.
The stars spun, and Orson appeared again in the [Mist Mining Grounds]. Sa place, under the sa cherry blossom tree.
This ti, however, not a single one of the UJ District players, who had been so eager to talk about the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, dared to enter.
Monts later, the Crimson Lizard King landed with SirLagsALot, who had snapped the world-renowned painting earlier.
SirLagsALot: "Hahaha... I'm loving this! A thousand players committing suicide, this is going to make a fortune on the forums..."
When SirLagsALot saw Orson glance at him, he coughed awkwardly and quickly corrected himself: "I swear, this ti I'm going to make sure all those US fence-sitters and turncoats get their faces slapped!"
"As soon as this video/photo is posted, the UJ District will be sward with US players from now on! You've set a great example!"
Orson nodded in agreent. SirLagsALot might not be very reliable, but his promotional abilities were unparalleled. Those undecided US players would indeed be encouraged by this.
But that wasn't enough.
Orson kept his word. If the Thousand Hands guild refused to pay their share of the players' output, he had no problem letting his agents take over.
Soon, Bright Galaxy sent a ssage: "We've arrived at Sakura District, but I don't think the ti is right yet. We're still negotiating the purchase of the base."
Orson replied, "Level doesn't matter. Just bring your people over."
With that, over 300 players from the UJ District joined his faction, all of them clearly carrying a "US flavor."
#Player 8782: "Orgod, you wiped out Thousand Hands Guild once? You're ruthless! They're all just standing there at the resurrection point."
Orson recognized the true identity of this player: it was Charles from the Rank Studio...
No, actually, due to his considerate care for Sienna, he had been appointed as vice president by Lauren and had risen to the top with a salary in the millions.
"This is just the beginning. They don't submit to , so... I'll have to wipe them out again," Orson said with a light laugh.
"Damn, Orson, you're too strong!"
"By the way, Orson, the three buckets of instant noodles under your desk? I ate them last ti but didn't admit it. You're not mad at , right?"
The players in Orson's faction started joking around. Many of them were old acquaintances, all from the sa miserable black coal mine.
"Uh... if they're reinforcents, aren't their levels a bit low?" SirLagsALot asked in confusion. These "UJ District players" were all around level 15, barely out of the newbie village. Coming here to fight seed like a suicide mission!
Orson ignored him and glanced at the southern side of Sakura District, which had lost its barrier, then suddenly asked, "You must have a lot of fans on the Infinite Dinsions official site, right? Can
you start a livestream now?"
"Livestream? Of course, I can!"
SirLagsALot's excitent was palpable. He'd been wanting to do this for a long ti, but even though he had no sha, he never dared bring it up.
This was going to be the super plus version of "Orgod's Third-Person Perspective."
Forget about livestream donations; just selling ads for Amazon and other affiliates during the stream would be a gold mine!
