Chapter 7 : I Just Want to Be an Invisible Nobody
Chapter 7: I Just Want to Be an Invisible Nobody!
Before long, Eternal Tower, Freshman Assessment Registration Plaza.
At the center of the vast plaza stood a massive circular tower with a white exterior, thirty floors high.
At the tower’s entrance, it was packed with students taking the assessment, along with instructors responsible for registration.
At this moment, everyone was staring intently at the leaderboard beside the tower, whispering among themselves.
This tower had existed for thousands of years. It was said to have been built by the first principal of Saint Delra Magic Academy, a legendary Ninth-Ring Archmage, who devoted his entire life to its creation.
It was rumored that every time someone broke a predecessor’s record, they would receive a special reward from the Eternal Tower.
......
The moment Lilith and Vivian appeared, they immediately became the center of attention.
News in Silvermoon City spread faster than the wind, not to mention that the two of them were already popular figures among the freshmen.
The news that those from the Church of Death had fallen at their hands had long spread throughout the academy.
Now, whether freshmen or senior students, most had at least heard of the title “Twin Stars of the Empire.”
While many had previously been skeptical, after this incident, no one dared to question it casually anymore.
Hearing the surrounding murmurs, neither Lilith nor Vivian felt happy at all.
Lilith knew exactly what she was worth, and Vivian did too.
“Wuu… I really don’t want to be stared at by so many people!”
Vivian only wanted to quietly be an invisible nobody, but reality refused to let her.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. The good news was that the one controlling her didn’t seem to be the Evil God, but rather a god who enjoyed toying with the mortal world.
But the problem was—this god who toyed with the world couldn’t possibly stay attached to her forever, right?
Once He got bored and left, after being lifted so high, wouldn’t she fall miserably?
Just the current situation alone already made Vivian feel like she couldn’t hold on any longer.
And at that moment—
“You two are the so-called ‘Twin Stars of the Empire’? You don’t look like much.”
A young man dressed in noble attire, his face still carrying a trace of immaturity, walked over. His eyes were full of provocation.
Vivian’s heart sank: as expected, what was meant to come had arrived.
Judging by this, he was definitely here to challenge them.
“Don’t mind him… Lord God, please don’t mind him…”
Vivian could only pray desperately in her heart.
But as always, the more she feared something, the more it happened.
“Oh? This NPC can even taunt? Interesting.”
“What, I’m a player—am I supposed to get bullied by an NPC?” Jiang Chen’s amused voice rang out.
Hearing that voice, Vivian’s vision went dark—
It was over. There was no way this god would swallow such provocation.
“Who are you?” Vivian’s voice sounded cold and clear.
“Listen well—Calvin Fletcher—the true genius who will surpass you!”
The moment the name was spoken, whispers erupted all around.
Vivian vaguely caught words like “Glory City,” “Fletcher Family,” and “genius.”
No need to think—this was definitely a tough opponent.
She only hoped that Lord God wouldn’t go too far with his words…
And then she heard Him speak through her body.
“Are you famous? Never heard of you.”
Vivian: …Alright, my heart is dead.
“You’ve never heard of my name?” The boy’s tone instantly rose.
“I never remember the names of the weak—especially self-righteous weaklings.”
As those words fell, the entire plaza fell silent.
Then—
“She actually called the son of the Empire’s Grand General weak??”
“That’s way too arrogant! Just because she got a bit of fame in some small place, she thinks she can compare to a Fletcher family genius?”
......
Listening to the surrounding chatter, Vivian had already entered a state of emotional numbness.
The son of the Empire’s Grand General… weak… Lord God, those two sentences have completely offended him to death!
My poor heart really can’t take this anymore…
At this moment, someone else in the crowd couldn’t stand it and stepped forward:
“Don’t think having a bit of talent makes you above everyone else.”
“You’re not the only one among us who awakened a First-Ring Mage class. Someone from a backwater place shouldn’t take themselves so seriously.”
After hearing this, Vivian felt nothing—if anything, she even wanted to laugh.
She could already guess what would happen next.
Perhaps because she had completely given up, she even felt a faint sense of anticipation—
Anticipation for what shocking words this god would say next.
And sure enough, the god did not disappoint her:
“I’m not targeting anyone—I’m saying that everyone here is trash.”
As those words fell, the entire plaza fell into dead silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
'Nice! One sentence to offend the entire crowd—and completely at that!”
“If that were me, I’d probably have fainted already! Lord God’s mentality is really steady!”
Vivian felt like she was about to break.
She even caught a glimpse of Lilith quietly stepping several paces back, looking at her with a terrified expression as if saying I don’t know you.
At the same time, that familiar voice echoed in her mind.
“This is the feeling—so satisfying!!”
Wuu wuu wuu… Lord God, you’re enjoying this, but I’m the one crying!!
Just as Vivian expected, the brief silence lasted only a moment before the entire plaza exploded into chaos.
Facing the crowd’s accusations and mockery, Lord God remained completely calm.
Many people even directly issued duel challenges to him.
Looking at the agitated NPC crowd, Jiang Chen casually opened a bag of chips on his desk.
“Crunch.”
As he ate, he began to think.
This game’s mechanics completely overturned everything he knew about games. In other games, situations like this would trigger fixed dialogue, and the player would just follow along.
But this game was different.
What he had just said was intentional—to confirm his hypothesis.
And sure enough, just as he thought, these NPCs reacted immediately and naturally, without any sense of inconsistency.
To be honest, their reactions shocked him greatly.
“These NPCs are way too realistic. Damn, has AI already evolved to this level?”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen pressed the microphone button. Just as he was about to say something, the screen of his phone lit up.
【The novel you are following has updated a new chapter: Sect Trial Betting!】
Seeing this, Jiang Chen was slightly stunned.
Suddenly, a bold idea arose in his mind.—
“What if I give it a try?”
“Maybe this is the correct way to play the game. If my guess is right, then this is going to be fun!”
The more he thought about it, the more feasible this idea seemed.
So to Lord God, was this really just for fun…?
Hearing Jiang Chen’s muttering, Vivian felt conflicted.
Then she heard something that almost made her shatter on the spot.
“I can tell many of you are unconvinced, but that’s fine—the gap between mediocrity and genius was never something you mortals could understand!”
“Since none of you accept it, then I’ll be merciful and grant you a chance to compete against me.”
As he spoke, Lord God controlled her body and raised a hand, pointing straight at the towering Eternal Tower.
