God-Level Game Developer System: I Brought In-Game Items To Real World - Chapter 169

Chapter 169: Ugly Sculpture
After Kayden obtained the Ghost Fire Sapphire, he didn’t stop looting the Hidden Treasury of Windesburg Hotel.

However, he didn’t find any other game items in the Hidden Treasury aside from two more Ghost Fire Sapphire. In other words, there were three Ghost Fire Sapphire in total.

Kayden handed one of them each to Shirohige, Kuroneko, and ProGamerXD. After all, those three didn’t have any game items.

On the other hand, Kayden handed the Red Purification Pill to Kodokuna Kenshi.

After all, if they complete the first main objective, they’d probably only be able to bring one game item to the real world.

Since Kayden and the other authority users in their group will bring the authority to the real world, those who didn’t have any authorities will be in charge of bringing the game items to the real world.

Kenshi was very picky when it came to his authorities since his demand was that he wouldn’t accept any authority as long as it wasn’t related to the sword path. Otherwise, Kenshi could have chosen to obtain either the Water Authority or the Midas Authority but he refused them since those two authorities didn’t interest him.

“Since all of us have an authority or game item each, then we should hunt for food now as well as check up on Illya.”

Regarding Kayden’s decision, none of them disagreed with it. After all, Ayame had already decided to complete the first main objective so that those with authorities among them could secure it as soon as possible.

Although the chances of other players obtaining the authorities were low, it didn’t mean that it was impossible.

After all, not everyone could win against the Masked Gambler in a gambling match, but it was still possible for other players to win an eating competition against the chef in the dining room.

Furthermore, some idiots couldn’t swim but still dared to swim in the swimming pool. If they were to drown there, then they could obtain the Water Authority.

The chances of the authority being taken from them were quite low since those must be achieved when they had lost the game and were about to start over again, but Ayame didn’t want to take any chances.

The leader of their team was Ayame while Kayden was the assistant leader. Since the two of them had the same decision, then none of the members had raised any opposition.

Of course, it might be different if Weiss opposed it. But even if he did, the Dislord admins would side with Ayame, and the same for the rest of them who would side with Kayden.

In reality, the only reason they listened to Weiss was that Ayame would confirm Weiss’ decision as her own. That’s how loyal they were to Ayame.

Weiss didn’t mind that since he only joined their team so that he could hasten their completion of Cozy Vacation Life. The sooner they completed it, the sooner he could develop another game and become stronger.

With Kayden and Ayame leading the team, they soon left the Hidden Treasury and ascended to the first floor.

However, when they arrived at the surface, they noticed that someone had appeared in the abandoned hotel room.

It was an ugly sculpture with a distorted face that even a mother couldn’t love. It was as if it was an art project where the art teacher asked their student to create the ugliest sculpture they could ever make.

And it turned out that this might be the work of an art student who got an A+ grade with this ugly sculpture project.

“Aaarrrggghhh!!!”

Just by looking at it, Ayame and the rest of the team seemed to experience a headache.

On the other hand, those who had the worst mental fortitude amongst them were suffering something much worse than a headache. Those with weaker mental fortitude amongst them even screamed in pain after the head-splitting headache they experienced.

Not only that, Shirohige and Kuroneko’s eyes were also releasing bloody tears and the looks on their faces showed extreme agony.

Among the members of their team, Shirohige and Kuroneko had the worst mental fortitude. Even Winston’s willpower was stronger since he only suffered a headache at most.

“Guys, don’t look at it.”

Kayden did his best to utter a word of warning to his teammates despite the pain he felt in his head.

However, no matter how much they resisted, they seemed to be incapable of averting their eyes from the ugly sculpture.

It was so ugly that anyone who saw it would not only have a headache from seeing it but also would have a strong desire to avert their eyes from it.

But no matter how they tried and commanded their body, they couldn’t avert their eyes from it. It was as if their attention were glued to the ugly sculpture.

Among the members of the team, only Weiss and Alice were unaffected by it. Even Ayame was now having bloody tears.

Not because Ayame’s mental fortitude was weak, but because she had a fear of horrific creatures. This was also the main reason why she didn’t play any horror games in her game stream unless the majority of her fans asked her to play it.

As for Bianca, she and Kenshi were the most chill among them. Although they were experiencing headaches, it wasn’t as bad as compared to the rest of the members.

Bianca was already used to playing horror games and she even speedruns them which allowed her to develop a resistance to them. On the other hand, Kenshi had trained not only his body but also his mind when he was training his swordsmanship.

Although he hadn’t achieved any exaggerated martial arts feats yet, Kenshi’s state of mind was still better than most of the humans in Blue Star since it was as firm and sharp as his swordsmanship.

It was only due to the mental pollution properties of the ugly sculpture that Kenshi was experiencing a headache. Otherwise, he had the most stable state of mind among the rest of the team.

For comparison, he wouldn’t whine like a bitch if he ever were executed via Lingchi. That’s how stable Kenshi’s mind was and it was only due to the weirdness of the ugly sculpture that he was suffering from a headache.

“Damn it! Should we use the Red Purification Pill or not?”

Kayden asked the team since he wanted their second opinion on it. He was reluctant to use it since they could bring the Red Purification Pill to the game world as long as they completed the first main objective.

In the previous game session, they had indeed encountered the ugly sculpture.

At that time, Kenshi who had the most stable mind amongst them had consumed the Red Purification Pill. After being temporarily immune from the ugly sculpture’s mental pollution, Kenshi then used two of the three Ghost Fire Sapphires to kill the evil spirit that possessed the ugly sculpture.

Yes, it not only took one Red Purification Pill but also two Ghost Fire Sapphires. That’s why Kayden was so reluctant to use it.

Of course, the main reason why he was hesitant to use it aside from the guarantee of completing the first main objective was due to Weiss’ Game Over Retry Authority.

As long as they could try again, Kayden believed that they would soon find a way to defeat the ugly sculpture without having to expend any game items.

“I don’t know! But if we don’t use it, we will be tortured by its mental pollution until we will become vegetables.”

Like Kayden, Ayame was also reluctant to use the game items.

“Sigh, you guys are too indecisive. If I’m not here, you would also suffer if you don’t use the Red Purification Pill and the Ghost Fire Sapphires.”

Hearing Weiss’ words, Kayden retorted, “That’s because you are here! We had already experienced this before and we had sacrificed the game items.”

“However, since you are here, we hesitated since you might have a better solution. A solution where the game items aren’t expended.”

In response to Kayden’s retort, Weiss shook his head, “I’m afraid I can’t interfere with this. I already told you guys that I can only interfere in the luxury cruise ship storyline since that was just the game’s prologue.”

“As for the main storyline of Vacation Paradise Island, I can’t interfere much and can’t spoonfeed you every answer to your problems here.”

“The best I can do is that I can press the retry button to let you all have another try in scenarios like these.”

“But if you want me to reveal the solutions to all these problems, then I can’t do that.”

Hearing Weiss’ explanation, Kayden and Ayame already expected it.

Kayden only told Weiss about interfering since he just wanted to test his luck and give it a try. However, it seemed that Weiss’ decision not to interfere with them was something they couldn’t change.

Kayden resisted the headache as he gritted his teeth and spoke, “Weiss, use your authority!”
