Chapter 1
The 'Unfair' Online Game
"Iris scan complete. Verifying DNA...
"Verification complete! Welcome to the game world of 'Tomorrow'! We wish you a pleasant gaming experience!"
In the middle of a gaming hall of formless chaos, Meng Jingtian listened in stupefaction to the string of notifications, his mouth dropping. "Hey! Wait! Do I not have to create my character?"
As a hardcore gamer, he was extremely confident in mastering a new game, but 'Tomorrow' had given him a surprise.
But he supposed that it was to be expected from a trans-generational online game published by the United Nations. Meng Jingtian couldn't help but be somewhat excited.
In the blink of an eye, a boundless panoply of stars appeared before Meng Jingtian. He found himself hurtling at high speeds like a comet toward a massive, multi-colored planet.
Leaving a trail of fire and lightning behind him, Meng Jingtian quickly broke through the atmosphere of this planet. At his side were many other 'comets' just like him.
Meng Jingtian vaguely understood, remarking to himself that these were probably other players.
Truly a big production! The opening CG was so grand and realistic, immediately taking one's breath away.
As the comets swept across the sky, one was given a panoramic view of the game world. Meandering mountain ranges covered the landscape like slumbering dragons, rivers and lakes like silver belts and pearls, and dignified and ancient cities of various styles studded the landscape.
"This is… the imperial palace of the main city? It can't be, right? The game talked about being a second life and that birthplaces would be random, but how could I be this lucky?"
Meng Jingtian grew rather alarmed as he watched a majestic imperial city expand before him.
The comet he had turned into was heading straight for the imperial palace.
But he quickly realized that there were quite a few 'comets' heading for the imperial palace. Before he could fully descend,
boom!
He crashed into a bunch of other 'comets' that had been flying toward the imperial palace.
"Ding! Reincarnation failed. Please re-enter the game!"
This was the notification all the players who had been caught in the crash simultaneously received. After a momentary shock, they all angrily cursed.
But two of the players did not receive this notification.
One of them was Meng Jingtian. At the moment the comets collided, his comet's angle caused him to ricochet into the sky, far into the distance.
"Ding! Congratulations! Reincarnation successful! Please inspect your character profile."
When Meng Jingtian heard this notification, he discovered that he once more had a physical body. He could feel the warm sunlight on his body and a slightly salty sea breeze.
Truly, the first virtual online game with 99% realism! If he didn't know for certain that he was in a game, he would have believed that he had transmigrated.
"Inspect character profile!"
As he hadn't gone through the character creation process, and the game was generating everything, Meng Jingtian was extremely anxious to know what his initial stats were. This would decide how he would choose to develop his character in the future.
Name: Meng Jingtian
Race: God Race
Talents: Divine Might, Belief Halo
Starting Skills: Divine Recovery, Divine Punishment, Divine Examination, Belief Boost
Level:
Basic Stats Panel:
Strength:
Agility:
Constitution:
Spirit:
Divine Power:
Believers:
"Dingding!" As Meng Jingtian was inspecting his stats, he heard several more notification tones.
Meng Jingtian quickly found an exclamation point on the virtual information panel. Someone wanted to add him as a friend.
Having just finished the verification process as well, Cai Minghou impatiently sent over a message. "Brother Tian! Where did you reincarnate? This game is really different! Didn't we normally complain about how reincarnation skills sucked? But now, we've both reincarnated."
This fellow was one of Meng Jingtian's best gaming friends, having already played through three or four games with him.
"Oh! I seem to be on an island." Meng Jingtian looked around and murmured in shock, finding himself to be all alone on a barren island.
"No way! Did you get reincarnated as a fisherman? Your luck really is just awful!" Cai Minghou teased, finding the situation rather amusing.
"Fisherman?" Meng Jingtian muttered. Instead of telling Cai Minghou about his situation, he asked, "Why don't you talk about yourself? What did you reincarnate as?"
"Haha! Your Brother Hou is awesome! I got reincarnated in the Golden Goose Mercenary Company of Black Tortoise City, and I was reincarnated as the Second Master! I even have a little servant NPC under my command! Why don't you let this brother take care of you?" Cai Minghou smugly replied.
Meng Jingtian didn't answer. Instead, he quietly opened up the game's forum. He now somewhat understood why this game advertised itself as the first 'unfair' online game, a second life.
The very moment they entered the game, the players were on unfair footing. They all had a chance to reincarnate, but once they truly entered the game, they began their second lives, each with a different starting point.
"This is a scam! Can anyone tell me what to do now that I reincarnated as a beggar?"
"Delete your account!"
"Haha, keep playing! Maybe you have some hidden identity?"
As expected, the forum was rife with intense discussion. The completely random character creation was clearly a topic of keen player interest.
"The young city lord of Hundred Flower City is recruiting strong players! Generous salary!"
"Special Report: The luckiest guy in history, Player Nangong Qi has reincarnated into the imperial clan."
"Official Announcement: The number of players logging in at opening time was too great, leading to errors that caused the reincarnations of some players to fail. We express our utmost apologies…"
...
The game had only been open for five minutes, but the forums were already full of screenshots and info. Meng Jingtian quickly browsed through it all before closing the forum.
This was the early stage of the game, so beating up monsters and leveling up took first priority.
But when he came back to his senses, he once more realized that he was on a completely barren island. The island wasn't large, and all he could see around him was a boundless ocean. He simply had nowhere to go.
Let alone monsters, this island only had a few stalks of grass.
"This sucks!" Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched as he kicked at the ground and cursed his bad luck.
The game had given him a pleasant surprise, almost reincarnating him in an imperial household, but he had unexpectedly been knocked away.
It wasn't like he cared, as he was used to all kinds of roles. Just giving him some ordinary background was good enough.
But then, the game gave him another surprise. He was reincarnated as some apparently awesome 'God Race', something that the game had never advertised. This could even be a hidden race.
But before he could celebrate, he discovered that he was a prisoner! What the hell? Couldn't he just play the game properly? What was with all these twists and turns?
"Owwooo!" With a bestial roar, Meng Jingtian felt the island beneath him move, and a head that looked like a mix of a dragon's and a turtle's emerged out of the sea.
Black Turtle: Yu Ming (Divine Beast)
...
Level: 1
Skills: ?
Belief:
Friendliness:
"Big… Big Bro, we can just talk! There's no need to fight!" Upon seeing the information above the big turtle's head, Meng Jingtian wanted to cry. Whether or not this fellow could understand, he at least had to try and talk things out.
Chapter 2
Born a God
Though Meng Jingtian was shocked, he quickly noticed that this Level 100 divine turtle had a yellow name. Based on the games he had played in the past, he could presume that this meant that as long as he did not attack this monster, it would not attack him.
This let him relax a little, and at this moment, the old turtle struck up a conversation.
"Hey! What have I found? A newborn god!" the old turtle lazily said.
"Ahem, h-hello!" Meng Jingtian saw that the turtle could talk and hurriedly greeted it.
"What sort of god are you?" the old turtle asked as it curiously inspected Meng Jingtian.
"What sort of god?" Meng Jingtian found that he couldn't answer. Were there different kinds of gods?
What sort of scam game was this? It hid everything, keeping everything secret besides some advertisement terms, saying that the players should find things out on their own.
"What? Do you not have a camp? Gods of harvest, sky gods, sea gods, beast gods, war gods? Nothing?" The old turtle seemed to have a keen understanding of gods. 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝗼𝐦
"Uh, I was just born, so…" Meng Jingtian scratched his head.
"That shouldn't be! Gods are born through the desires and belief of living beings. They are entrusted with some kind of wish, so they are born with an inclination toward one faction or another…" The old turtle seemed very confused and was almost talking to itself.
"Unless…" The old turtle's eyes flashed with shock, and it hesitantly glanced at Meng Jingtian.
Suddenly, Meng Jingtian discovered that the old turtle's Friendliness was madly climbing.
60 points… 70… 100 points!
And at the end, even the Belief that had been at zero bizarrely went up a little.
What was going on? Meng Jingtian was perplexed. The old turtle's name had even gone from yellow to green.
I want to curse, but I don't know if I should!
Meng Jingtian was speechless. He had never encountered such a confusing game before.
"Oh God, where are you going? If you don't mind, let this old bones send you there!" the old turtle fawningly asked, its attitude toward Meng Jingtian seemingly having taken a complete U-turn.
Delighted, Meng Jingtian quickly sent Cai Minghou a message. "Little Hou, what city did you say you were in?"
"Black Tortoise! Black Tortoise City! Brother Tian, when did your memory get so bad?" Cai Minghou quickly sent back a message that was dripping with disdain.
"I want to go to Black Tortoise City. Can you send me there?" Meng Jingtian asked the old turtle, not one to give up on free labor.
"Black Tortoise City, huh… I've got a few quarrels with that old turtle, so I can only send you to Seaside City," Yu Ming said, shaking its head.
Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes and quietly complained,
Aren't you also an old turtle?
But it was good enough that he could escape this predicament, and he clearly had no right to argue with a Level 100 Divine Beast.
A pitch-black island slowly moved amidst the mighty waves of the ocean, approaching a city on the shore.
This moving island quickly attracted the attention of the players on the coast.
Just like Meng Jingtian, they were also dumbfounded by this game they were in and were still curiously exploring its various facets.
They didn't need to make characters, and the moment they entered the game, they had their real names as IDs and a game-generated background. They had no idea what else was in store for them!
"Look over there! Isn't that island moving?"
"It really is moving! Could it be the legendary Treasure Island?"
"The official advertisements said that there was a lucky encounter system. Want to take a look?"
"Starting a team! Starting a team! Exploration team for Treasure Island!"
Those players poking at crabs on the shore suddenly came alive, a few teams even swimming out to Yu Ming.
A look of disgust appeared in Yu Ming's eyes. "These humans are truly contemptible!"
As it spoke, it opened its mouth and used some sort of skill. A giant wave that was ten-some meters tall suddenly slammed down, easily overturning the crude wooden boats the players were using.
"Ding! EXP + 10!
"EXP + 10!"
These players who had dared to dream about lucky encounters were instantly wiped out by the old turtle. To Meng Jingtian's shock, it was the old turtle killing the players, so why was he getting experience points?
Even the constant notifications had come at the same time the old turtle was wiping out the players. He instantly climbed from Level 1 to Level 5, gaining five stat points.
This was okay? Meng Jingtian looked suspiciously at his stat panel. He also noticed that his number of believers had gone from 0 to 1.
This old turtle was his believer?
Meng Jingtian recalled how the old turtle's Friendliness had inexplicably climbed and that one point of Belief.
Huh… so I can just have my believers beat up monsters and still get experience. Is this one of a God's passives?
At this thought, Meng Jingtian looked enthusiastically at the players on the shore. If he had the old turtle kill all those players…
"I didn't think that there would be so many disgusting humans hanging around the shore today! God, my apologies. I can only take you up to here." Yu Ming quickly shattered Meng Jingtian's delusions, even throwing him straight into the ocean before sinking back into the depths.
"The hell! Weren't you my believer? Is this how you treat a god?" Meng Jingtian complained the moment his head broke out of the water.
Was that as far as one point of Belief went?
"Holy shit! Someone's still alive here!"
"Brother, was there anything on that Treasure Island?"
"Did you already get the lucky encounter there, so everyone else got eliminated?"
The moment he reached the shore, a bunch of players gathered around him and began to question him.
"Pah! What shitty lucky encounter? It was just an old turtle! All of you should get glasses!" Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes.
"Stand aside! Stand aside! Which way is Seaside City?"
...
"Brother, aren't you being a little unfair? You already got the lucky encounter, so we have nothing else to say to you. What's wrong with sharing a little information with us?"
A player wearing metal armor and holding a long sword walked out of the crowd and stood in Meng Jingtian's way, ready to fight the moment things went sour.
Meng Jingtian raised his head and used his Divine Examination, immediately making this man's basic information available to him.
Name: Bai Wensheng
Level:
Race: Human Race
Talent: Iron Body (Additional 5% Constitution)
Starting Skills: Basic Sword Arts, Military Training, Recovery
Identity: The Son of Seaside City Guard Captain Bai Jin
This man could probably be considered one of the luckier players, his equipment much better than the other new players' and his level also standing out.
"You're all talking about some Treasure Island, but what sort of game do you think you're playing? Believe if you want, but a good dog doesn't block the road!" Meng Jingtian coldly replied, extremely displeased by this man's attitude.
...
If you want something, act like it! What is this? Threatening me?
Even if it was some Treasure Island, why did he have to provide them information for free?
Chapter 3
Super Cheating!
"It looks to me like you refuse to go with the easy way, so I guess we'll have to do this the hard way! Remember this! The one who sent you back to the spawn point was Tian Xuance!" The player with the ID of Bai Wensheng raised his sword to attack as he coldly spoke, his eyes burning with a strange fervor. He wondered if whatever this guy got from the lucky encounter would drop when he died.
Meng Jingtian was surprised to hear this. Tian Xuance?
In the last game he had played, Tian Xuance was a rather famous player, though he supposed that 'infamous' was the better word.
This guy specialized in killing field bosses, botting with multiple accounts. But because he was willing to use any method at his disposal, his equipment wasn't bad. For a time, he even managed to squeeze his way into the bottom of the top ten players.
This man could be considered to have some quarrels with Meng Jingtian, but he hadn't expected to run into him here. It was just that he hadn't recognized the man because 'Tomorrow' used a person's real name as their ID.
Thankfully, he was bold enough to introduce himself.
Given that his foe had already started attacking, Meng Jingtian naturally made his own move instead of trying to verify his identity.
Tian Xuance's Basic Sword Arts was not a targeted skill, so Meng Jingtian easily dodged it and returned with a Divine Punishment.
They had all just entered the game, and all new players basically started off with a recovery skill and an attack skill.
While Meng Jingtian started off with a lot of basic skills, his only attack skill was Divine Punishment.
Once he used the skill, a bolt of lightning descended from the heavens toward Tian Xuance.
An alarmed Tian Xuance tried to dodge as Meng Jingtian had his own skill, but even if his reaction time hadn't been lacking, Divine Punishment was a targeted skill. Once it was used, it was certain to hit the target.
Before Tian Xuance even had a chance to dodge, he was struck by the skill.
In a flash, Tian Xuance transformed into a beam of light and disappeared, his sword dropping to the ground.
Meng Jingtian looked through the battle log and found that his Divine Punishment had instantly taken 5000 HP from Tian Xuance.
At their current level, even adding up their HPs didn't reach 1000.
Truly a god's skill! Such power! …Tsk, tsk. Pretty cool!
Tian Xuance reappeared at the spawn point with a dour expression. When he looked at his stat panel, his lips went purple.
He discovered that he had gained an extra debuff after his revival.
God Forsaken: Cursed by a god. All stats reduced by 10%.
Dying just meant a loss of some experience. What was this 'God Forsaken' debuff about?
"Report! That damn scoundrel must be cheating!" Tian Xuance furiously got in touch with customer support. If this debuff weren't removed, he would delete his account!
"Okay! Customer, we have received your problem and will swiftly investigate. Please be patient…" The damn customer support representative wasn't in a rush at all, giving Tian Xuance a scripted reply.
"Screw you! That kid was super-cheating! What's there to investigate! Wait? Like hell!" Tian Xuance stomped his feet in rage.
While Tian Xuance was jumping around in rage, Meng Jingtian was happily picking up the sword on the ground.
Refined Iron Longsword (Green): an excellent iron sword made for military use; Strength + 2, Attack + 100.
"Ding! System Notification: Player Nangong Qi is the first to reach Level 10. The Imperial City Estate is rewarded ten thousand golden coins and one purple weapon."
"Ding! System Notification: The mission system is now active. Players, please inspect it when you have the time and select the main quest mission."
Several announcements made the players on the shore freeze as they began to look through the announcements and explore the recently-activated mission system. No one paid attention to Meng Jingtian.
Meng Jingtian was also taken aback, his eyes chilling. Nangong Qi?
That lucky guy who got reborn in the imperial clan? Who could he be?
The matter of Tian Xuance had made Meng Jingtian realize that 'Tomorrow' was a game officially published by the United Nations, the only virtual online game published by the government in nearly one hundred years.
More than half of his friends and enemies from other games would come to this 'world', and those friendships and grudges from the past would find new life in this place.
Meng Jingtian clenched his fists. Everything he had lost in 'Grand Desolation', he would get back here!
But for now… he needed to fall back.
There were quite a few players on the shore, and once they finished messing around with the new system, some players might come and try to interrogate him about some Treasure Island.
He certainly had no time to play around with them. Each second in the early stages of a game was precious!
Meng Jingtian began walking over to Seaside City while inspecting the mission system.
Main Quest Mission: A god cannot lack for believers. Please head to a nearby town or city and recruit ten believers.
Mission Progress: 1/
Mission Reward: 10 stat points, 1 divine weapon.
"A divine weapon?" Meng Jingtian was thrown into disarray.
It can't be, right? A divine weapon for completing a new player mission? 𝒷ℯ𝒹𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶
But considering that he was a god, there was nothing wrong about being rewarded with a divine weapon. After all, shouldn't divine weapons just be ordinary weapons for a god?
While pondering this question, Meng Jingtian arrived outside Seaside City. Just as he was about to head in, he realized that his chat was constantly beeping.
Opening it up, he discovered that Cai Minghou had sent him tons of voice messages.
"What's wrong?" Rather than listening to them one by one, Meng Jingtian decided to just ask what was going on.
"Brother, you're finally back! Save me!" Cai Minghou was shockingly pleading for help.
"Weren't you reincarnated as the Second Young Master of a mercenary company?" Meng Jingtian frowned.
Cai Minghou might have been an endless blabberer who liked to joke around, but he wasn't someone who would call for help lightly.
"That's right! But what you didn't know is that the First Young Master is also a player! That scoundrel framed me for stealing an item King Pingwu entrusted our company with, even causing my NPC dad to shut me in a little black room! I can't go anywhere, and I don't even know what's going to happen to me!"
"I'm in Seaside City. Once I finish my main quest mission, I'll come and save you." Meng Jingtian didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. This game was very different from all the other games he had played. He really didn't know how he would go about rescuing his friend, so it was probably best if he leveled up a little first.
"Aaaah! Then forget it! I'll probably just die a few times. Just have fun on your own! Let's hope that we don't end up dropping in level and being oppressed by those tyrants from the Proud World group until we can't even raise our heads," Cai Minghou dejectedly said.
Meng Jingtian didn't reply, instead walking into the city. Several of the silver-armored soldiers were rather surprised to see him walk in.
...
But nobody tried to stop him, or even talk to him. They simply straightened their backs a little more.
"You again? You still dare to come to Seaside City?" Tian Xuance, who had just finished his fruitless session with customer support and was about to leave the city to grind, saw Meng Jingtian and immediately exploded in rage.
"And why shouldn't I dare?" Meng Jingtian asked back.
"Hmph! Don't think that nobody can do anything to you just because you're cheating! I've already reported you, so go ahead!" Tian Xuance got scared when Meng Jingtian looked over. Recalling how this fellow was cheating, he didn't dare to touch him, so he folded his arms, coldly snorted, and walked past him out of the city.
"Cheating?" Meng Jingtian was perplexed. Was he being praised?
Being criticized by this cheating specialist for cheating left him feeling rather strange!
Chapter 4
The Frozen Sword Token
Seaside City was a small city by the ocean. As Meng Jingtian entered, there was a constant stream of new players exiting the city to grind levels.
In order to complete his mission, Meng Jingtian conversed with every NPC he encountered. He discovered that while their Friendliness was at 100, their Belief was at 0.
After a brief period of thought, Meng Jingtian turned his attention to a beggar in the corner. The worse off one was, the more likely one was to believe in a god, right?
"Are you hungry?" Meng Jingtian walked over and spoke to the beggar, who had curled up into a ball and was massaging his stomach.
The beggar's eyes gleamed when he saw Meng Jingtian walking over.
"Brother, don't waste your time!" A player wearing the simple clothes of a newbie and holding a wooden sword nodded and warned, "These NPCs are probably of the lowest intelligence. There's no way they can converse with players."
"How do you know that?" There weren't many players willing to strike up a conversation with a random person during the game's opening period. Meng Jingtian returned his gesture with a kind smile.
"Didn't the official website mention a lucky encounter system? I've spoken with every NPC in this Seaside City!"
The player shrugged, and after a brief pause, he pulled Meng Jingtian over and whispered, "Though there's this weird old man in the western part of the city who wouldn't even let me past his door. He was all mysterious, like there was something going on. Are you interested in going with me to look?"
Meng Jingtian's eyes glinted, but just when he was about to reply, the beggar that this player called Zhang Defa had said was lacking in intelligence suddenly spoke.
"Can you get me two steamed buns?" The beggar looked at Meng Jingtian with a pleading and hungry look.
"Ding! A God's Pity: The down-and-out beggar hopes that you will give him two steamed buns.
"Mission Time Limit: 2 hours.
"Mission Reward: Beggar's Belief + 5, EXP + 100, 1 Frozen Sword Sect Trial Token."
"Of course!" Meng Jingtian almost instinctively replied, accepting the mission.
"It can't be…" Zhang Defa's mouth dropped, and he stared in shock at Meng Jingtian.
"Not fair! I already gave this beggar six steamed buns, and all I got was ten points of Friendliness. He didn't say a word to me. Why is it that he started a conversation with you as soon as you asked him a random question?" Zhang Defa's face was burning with indignant rage.
"It's probably because his Friendliness to me is 100?" Meng Jingtian chuckled.
He had by now noticed that all the human NPCs he had run into had a natural maximum Friendliness toward him.
This was probably the work of the Belief Halo.
Belief Halo: You are a god, so all creatures are full of trust and intimacy toward you. This effect is more obvious on weaker life forms.
"Brother Zhang, since you've strolled around the entire city, do you know where I can buy steamed buns?" Meng Jingtian asked Zhang Defa.
Zhang Defa handed Meng Jingtian two steamed buns right away and impatiently asked, "Is it a lucky encounter? What's the reward?"
Meng Jingtian handed the steamed buns over to the beggar, who gratefully took them. Meng Jingtian received the mission completion notice and immediately rose to Level 6.
"Thank you! This is a treasure I picked up outside the city. Please, you must take it!" The beggar took out a token made of black metal from behind him.
Frozen Sword Token: A trial token used by the Frozen Sword Sect. With this token, you can proceed to the central square and take the Frozen Sword Sect Trial. If you succeed in the trial, you can join the faction Frozen Sword Sect.
"What's this? Can I take a look?" Zhang Defa curiously asked as he looked over enviously.
Meng Jingtian sent over the Frozen Sword Token's description, and Zhang Defa almost turned to stone. The difference in treatment left him furious!
A faction! This was clearly a new system that had yet to be unlocked. Who knew what rewards someone joining a faction would get?
"Shit! Brother, could you reveal a little about the secrets to increasing Friendliness? I've been standing here for ages, but you just got here, right? How did you get Friendliness to 100?" Zhang Defa questioned Meng Jingtian.
Meng Jingtian solemnly pondered the question. "Mmm… it should be because I look handsome!"
"Ugh! So it has to do with this NPC's aesthetic sense?" Zhang Defa rolled his eyes. be𝚍nove𝚕.com
"Be serious, Brother. Teach me how to raise Friendliness. I'm already making some progress with that old man in the western part of the city. If that's a lucky encounter, I'll give it to you!" He once more tried to get in Meng Jingtian's good graces.
"It's not that I don't want to teach you, it's just that it's innate! You know that this game is all about randomly-generated characters. Luck! It's really nothing but luck!" Meng Jingtian shook his head and prepared to head to the central square and see what this Frozen Sword Sect was all about.
"Ah! Is that right? Then what did you reincarnate as? A beggar elder?" Zhang Defa covered his head and moaned. He had been reborn as an ordinary commoner in Seaside City.
This was what the vast majority of players had experienced. After all, only a few could get lucky.
"Do I look like a beggar to you?" Meng Jingtian asked, spreading his hands.
Although he was a god, he was equipped like a regular player, with a white robe and wooden sword.
Of course, he had already thrown away the wooden sword and replaced it with Tian Xuance's iron sword.
As Meng Jingtian was walking toward the central square, he heard another announcement.
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Bai Wensheng for discovering the Cave of the Giant Crab! Instance system unlocked!"
"That fellow really does have some luck. If I had known…" Meng Jingtian stopped for a moment and pouted.
Since Bai Wensheng had been the one to find the instance, there was a high chance that he would be the first one to clear it.
While more than half of the top ten players of 'Grand Desolation' had relied on despicable methods, they still had some ability.
Meng Jingtian looked down at the Frozen Sword Token in his hand. He couldn't fall behind!
Meng Jingtian quickly spotted several martial artist–like people standing in the central square, dressed very differently from the ordinary folk of the city.
"Can I ask who belongs to the Frozen Sword Sect here?" Meng Jingtian came over, holding up the Frozen Sword Token.
"Ah! Are you looking to join our Frozen Sword Sect? That's great! Our Frozen Sword Sect happens to be the strongest faction within 50 kilometers. The sect's headquarters are located at Frozen Sword Mountain…" A straight-browed, bright-eyed youth wearing a white brocade robe and a long sword on his back immediately walked over and began to talk up Meng Jingtian.
"Within 50 kilometers? Uh… let me think it over!"
This NPC was far too enthusiastic. The strongest faction within 50 kilometers?
To tell the truth, this was very different from what Meng Jingtian had expected. Previous gaming experience told him that a faction, once confirmed, was very difficult to change.
The players currently had zero information about factions, and he was not inclined to carelessly choose a trash faction.
With this thought in mind, Meng Jingtian turned to Zhang Defa and asked, "Brother, what do you think? Is the reward for the first player joining a faction better than the reward for the first player to Level 10?"
"Of course? Isn't that obvious?" Zhang Defa immediately replied.
...
"Are you interested in being the first player to join a faction?" Meng Jingtian smiled as he waved around the Frozen Sword Token.
Chapter 5
Wind God's Believer
"Brother, this token, you're… you're not using it?" Zhang Defa's eyes flew open in disbelief.
"Didn't you say you wanted it?" Meng Jingtian directly asked. If Zhang Defa didn't want it, he could just send out a message and find a whole bunch of takers.
"Yesyesyes!" Zhang Defa repeatedly nodded his head.
He then began to ask for a prospective price. "One hundred thousand alliance coins? If you agree, I'll send it over right away!"
Meng Jingtian was rather surprised. It was the 22nd century, and intelligent robots had replaced almost all labor. In other words, everyone had been laid off.
Social stagnation was a very serious problem. Ordinary people received a national allowance of two thousand alliance coins each month to live out meaningless lives.
He thought that Zhang Defa would use some item from the game or a promise to make this trade. To his surprise, he immediately offered one hundred thousand alliance coins! Ah, to be rich!
"Deal! Take it!" Meng Jingtian suppressed his excitement and handed over the Frozen Sword Token to
this fellow with such a rustic name
.
Anyone who would hand over one hundred thousand alliance coins for a game item couldn't be an ordinary person. It was a rather high price, and rather than trying to find out just how much this Frozen Sword Token was really worth, he might as well agree as if they were friends.
Meng Jingtian's straightforward reply really did manage to win Zhang Defa's good graces. He immediately patted him on the shoulder and asked, "What's your card number? I'll send it over right now! Once I pass the trial, I'll lead you to that strange old man's place."
Meng Jingtian read out a string of numbers, and two minutes later, he received a transfer from Zhang Defa.
He couldn't help but sigh. It was truly easy to make money in 'Tomorrow'! In the game he had played before this, 'Grand Desolation', only a top-class set of equipment could sell for this much!
"If you find the Frozen Jade Sword within ten minutes, you will pass the trial." The NPC of the Frozen Sword Sect who had been so enthusiastic with Meng Jingtian had a completely different attitude toward the new token holder, Zhang Defa. Folding his arms, he coldly pointed at a portal next to him.
"Brother, are you at maximum Friendliness with this guy too?"
Zhang Defa was rendered speechless. When Meng Jingtian had walked over, this NPC had almost been hugging Meng Jingtian's leg and pleading for him to join the Frozen Sword Sect.
Why was it that when it came to him, he got this sort of treatment?
"Ah! Nothing to be done! That's what happens when the hidden Charm stat is high!" Meng Jingtian smiled and spread out his arms.
This game was far too mysterious. Other than a few marketing terms and some CG images, the advertisements had not revealed any specific details. Thus, even if he spoke complete nonsense, no one could expose him!
"Holy shit! Really? There's also a Charm stat?" Zhang Defa had a look of disbelief, but deep down, he couldn't help but somewhat believe it.
How else could he explain all these NPCs treating him and Meng Jingtian so differently?
Helpless, Zhang Defa accepted his fate and walked into the Frozen Sword Sect's trial portal.
About seven or eight minutes later, the system made an announcement.
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Bai Wensheng for leading a team consisting of players Mo Hanxing, Zhou Xiaotian… and being the first to clear the Cave of the Giant Crab Instance. Reward: Level + 3, a purple head accessory, and a green title: Expedition Pioneer."
Meng Jingtian couldn't help but glance at the portal. Zhang Defa still hadn't come out. It was a trial, after all, but there was no way he wouldn't pass, right?
After nine minutes, Meng Jingtian could no longer restrain himself, and asked the supervising member of the Frozen Sword Sect, "Is this trial difficult? My friend…"
"Good Sir, relax. This meager faction would not dare to make trouble for your friend. But this trial is not easy, and it would not be right to just let him pass." This NPC who had the aura of a master had the face of someone who knew well the ways of the world and was doing his best to curry favor.
Meng Jingtian was immediately rendered speechless. So there was also something like this? This NPC was a little too intelligent, right? He even understood how to win favor from others?
After seeing how coldly the NPC had treated Zhang Defa, Meng Jingtian had believed that these NPCs acted only on data.
At the last minute, Zhang Defa lunged out of the portal, his face covered in dirt. His new-player clothes were in tatters, as if they had been cut at by sword qi. Surprisingly, the system had not repaired them.
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Zhang Defa for passing the entry test for the Frozen Sword Sect and becoming the first player to join a faction! Reward: Title: Prime Disciple of the Frozen Sword Sect (Purple Unique), Earth-Tier Secret Art 'Heaven-Cleaving Sword Mantra', and one purple weapon!"
"Ding! The faction system is now unlocked! Players can now make their way to the central square to participate in faction trials, and they can also search for hidden sects on their own to enter."
As expected, other than these major faction disciples who were waiting in central squares to take disciples, there were also hidden sects!
Meng Jingtian blessed his luck that he had given the Frozen Sword Token to Zhang Defa.
A Frozen Sword Sect NPC gave Zhang Defa another token and also issued him a mission to head toward the mountain sect. Only when he reached the mountain sect would Zhang Defa be considered to have truly entered the Frozen Sword Sect.
Once Zhang Defa had finished his conversation with the NPC, he immediately turned to Meng Jingtian. "Hurry! Brother, I'll take you to find that strange old man! I have to reach the Frozen Sword Sect in five hours."
Thumpthump!
Once they arrived, Zhang Defa sent Meng Jingtian a friend request and ran off. Meng Jingtian hesitantly knocked on the door to the tottering shack in front of him.
The western part of the city was probably Seaside City's slum, the entire region worn and shabby. In these slums, there was nothing particularly special about this dilapidated shack.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Defa had been so bold as to send him a friend request before leaving, Meng Jingtian might have believed he was being tricked.
Creeeak~
The door opened.
Within the darkness behind the door stood a shriveled old man wearing black clothes and a black cloak.
The dim light in the room and the old man's shadowy gaze endowed the place with a wicked and sinister atmosphere.
But Meng Jingtian noticed that several strands of hair could be seen beneath the old man's hood—not the usual black of the NPCs of Seaside City, but light gold. In real life, he would be taken for a westerner.
Did this game also have westerners?
Meng Jingtian was instinctively suspicious, but then he laughed at himself. This game had truly addled his mind.
Since this game had been published by the United Nations, it naturally had western settings as well. It was just that because he was Chinese, he had only seen advertisements in the style of his country.
But for a westerner NPC to appear in the game continent with the Chinese setting was truly a little suspicious!
As Meng Jingtian inspected the old man, the old man inspected Meng Jingtian.
Suddenly, the old man's eyes flew open in disbelief, and he performed a western salute that Meng Jingtian didn't understand. "A god! For what reason has the holy one descended to this mortal plane and come to me?"
"Uh… I'm a newborn god," Meng Jingtian awkwardly replied.
"My name is Rupud, and I am a believer of the Wind God, Aeolus. Ten years ago, after a disaster at sea, I found myself here. Each day, I pray to the Wind God for salvation, but my prayers have not worked." Rupud didn't seem to care that Meng Jingtian was a newborn god. On the contrary, he relayed his story in agitation.
...
"Thus, I swore that if another god were able to help me out of my dire straits, I would offer my sincerest belief! Great God, have you come to save me?"
Chapter 6
Guild Recruitment
"Ding! God's Salvation: Help Rupud escape his impoverished conditions and peacefully associate with the residents of Seaside City.
"Mission Time Limit: 3 days.
"Mission Reward: Rupud's sublime belief, Level + 3, 1 recipe for 'Constitution-Boosting Potion'."
"Mission?" Meng Jingtian's eyes brightened and his expression calmed down.
In real life, if someone started calling him God all the time, he would have felt embarrassed, but the appearance of a mission made him regain his senses. After all, this was a game, and this was just an NPC.
It was all because this game was too real!
He immediately took the mission and said to Rupud while acting like a god, "The gods have not forgotten you. I have come to save you. But first, you should explain in detail your dire straits!"
"Great God, I was originally a respected alchemist of Durand City, but after ending up in this place, I didn't speak the same language as the locals, and they had their own alchemists. I wasn't able to sell my potions, so I've only been able to eke out a living in the slums," Rupud tearfully implored.
Meng Jingtian nodded in understanding. So that's what was going on! He was a player, and the system came with a translator that let him understand the words of all NPCs that he could talk with. But the native NPCs of Seaside City did not have this ability.
To Rupud, a stranger stranded in a strange land with no 'foreigners' able to understand him, it truly was a very miserable situation.
Meng Jingtian pondered how he could have Rupud escape this predicament. It was just a question of money!
As for having him get on friendly terms with the residents of Seaside City, the only difficulty was the difference in language.
After organizing his thoughts, Meng Jingtian said to Rupud, "If you want the acknowledgment of others, you first need to leave. You can't remain in this shack. Why don't you try selling your potions again?"
"But, Great God, I've already tried many times! No one needs my potions, and they don't understand my words." Rupud dejectedly shook his head.
"Do you have any potions with you? I'll go with you to sell them. If the price is right, it can definitely be sold!" Meng Jingtian advised with a confident smile.
There were quite a few players in Seaside City, and potions were often a necessary item in games. Even if Seaside City had a drugstore, that didn't necessarily mean his potions were no good.
If that wasn't enough, then it was time for a price war!
Persuaded by Meng Jingtian, Rupud dubiously took out some of the potions he had saved.
Blood-Restoring Potion: Instantly restore 500 HP. 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Blue-Restoring Potion: Recover 50+ MP/second.
These ordinary, basic medicines were nothing unusual, but two blue potions drew Meng Jingtian's attention.
Constitution Potion: Permanently boost Constitution by 5 points. Only effective on first use.
Strength Potion: Permanently boost Strength by 5 points. Only effective on first use.
At present, all the players in the game were getting one free stat point for each level gained. If they took these potions, they would have ten additional stat points that other players wouldn't!
"If Great God likes them, please, take them!" Rupud had good eyes and immediately offered the potions for free.
Meng Jingtian didn't refuse. He took the potions and immediately used them, after which he dragged Rupud around and began to advertise.
But this was the slums, and there weren't a lot of players around, so the effects weren't very good.
Thus, Meng Jingtian grabbed the two blue potions and put the descriptions of the two potions into the city's chat channel.
"Holy shit! A divine potion! Two gold coins for one? Where do I get one?"
"Holy shit, are there already players making potions?"
"You again! This fellow is cheating! He must have found some loophole in the system! Let's report him!"
The chat channel instantly exploded. Bai Wensheng, who had just finished smoothly clearing the instance, saw who had sent the message and instantly exploded in rage.
Customer support still hadn't sent him a reply, and he still had the 'God Forsaken' debuff! This very debuff had almost caused his team to be wiped out.
The messages were coming in so quickly that Meng Jingtian didn't even get a chance to see Bai Wensheng's angry message calling for players to report him. He was focused completely on reposting his advertisement.
Five minutes later, a team of players who were decently equipped rushed over.
"You're the player selling potions?" the leader of the group, a player called Luo Yang, asked. He was wearing a light green robe and wielding a tigerheaded saber, clearly not the equipment given to new players.
Behind him were several other decently-equipped players. At the very least, they had already gotten rid of the new-player equipment.
"Right. What are you buying?" Meng Jingtian asked, pointing at the potions on the stall next to him.
Rupud was delighted to see that there were actually customers, but he rarely interacted with others and had an eccentric personality, so he just stood on the side and watched as Meng Jingtian sold his potions.
"Was Brother born as a potion maker? If you're interested, why not join our Beacon Guild?" Luo Yang didn't immediately answer, instead inviting Meng Jingtian to his guild.
"I'm sorry; I currently don't have plans to enter a guild."
"Our guild offers a good salary and a lot of girls. If Brother can provide a steady supply of these stat potions, we can give you five thousand alliance coins each month. What about it?" Luo Yang didn't give up and smoothly began to try to persuade Meng Jingtian.
Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes and rudely replied, "Buy if you're buying, but if you're not, don't get in the way of my business!"
He had been a loner in 'Grand Desolation', and there had been quite a few times where he had been hunted down by a guild for offending one of its members. He had nothing but bad impressions about these guilds.
But because people were fighting over limited resources, guilds also had many limitations on ordinary members, and there were always rules to follow. Meng Jingtian's personality wasn't a good fit for that environment.
Since they were playing games, they should do what they wanted. Regardless of the benefits, he had no desire to bind himself to the rules of a guild.
"Shopkeep! Two potions!" As Luo Yang was going green in the face and about to make another offer, a black-clothed swordsman wearing a veiled hat took out four gold coins and threw them at Meng Jingtian.
This man's ID was Hua Tianyu, and he was also clearly a player. His equipment seemed much better than Luo Yang's, and his behavior was much more straightforward, causing Meng Jingtian to take a second look at him.
This man seemed like an expert, but who could he be?
Meng Jingtian passed over two blue potions, and the man immediately took them and left.
"Brother…" Luo Yang wanted to continue the negotiations. After all, a player who could make these blue potions at so early a stage in the game was certain to be the number one potion maker in the future, someone worth bringing over.
But more and more players were coming over, and as they started buying from Meng Jingtian, they squeezed out Luo Yang and his group of non-buying players.
Ten minutes later, the little stall Meng Jingtian and Rupud had set up was surrounded by a vast crowd of people. A few moments later, the potions were sold out.
Meng Jingtian clapped his hands and loudly announced, "My apologies! Today's potions have been sold out. But in the future, this place will offer basic potions essential for leveling up. Good friends, please keep an eye out!"
...
Chapter 7
Main Quest Mission Complete!
After deducting the system's cut, Rupud received more than three hundred gold coins after selling the potions—enough for him to live the good life for several months.
"Ding! Rupud's Belief + 10!"
"Ding! Rupud's Belief + 10!"
In a string of system messages, Rupud's Belief toward Meng Jingtian instantly soared to 50 points!
The mission was 50% complete. Now, he just needed to address the difference in language between Rupud and the residents of Seaside City to finish it!
But this was a rather difficult problem, as players could innately understand what NPCs were saying. And it wasn't like he could teach Rupud the language of Seaside City!
"Did you really sell out of your potions?" Only now, after all the players had dispersed, could Luo Yang come up to ask this question, stupefaction written all over his face.
Meng Jingtian looked at Rupud. After all, he wasn't the one who had made the potions.
"Oh! Thank you for your visit. It's been a very long time since I last made potions. These were all potions that I had stored up. But I can make another batch tomorrow!" Rupud excitedly said.
"Please come by early tomorrow!" Meng Jingtian looked at Luo Yang and smiled.
"You weren't the one who made those potions?" Luo Yang questioned.
"When did I ever say that I made the potions?" Meng Jingtian innocently said, spreading apart his arms.
Luo Yang pushed aside Meng Jingtian and spoke to Rupud, a faint hint of disdain on his face. "Rupud? In the future, why don't you directly sell your potions directly to our Beacon guild? What about it?"
All players were a little arrogant when speaking to NPCs. After all, in the eyes of players, NPCs were nothing but piles of data.
"My apologies! I don't plan to sell your lot a single potion!" Rupud's face fell the moment he saw Luo Yang rudely push aside Meng Jingtian, and his reply was ice-cold.
At the same time, Luo Yang heard a notification at his ear: "Ding! High-level Alchemist Rupud's Friendliness has dropped by 10!"
"Pft!" Meng Jingtian couldn't help but laugh. Luo Yang's situation could be described as trying to pick a watermelon and losing even the sesame seeds. People really shouldn't go too far with their demands!
"Fine! You've got guts!" Hearing the laughter, Luo Yang sullenly turned on Meng Jingtian and angrily said, "If you weren't the one who made the potions, why didn't you explain earlier?!"
His group had clearly come first, but they hadn't gotten a single potion. How could he not be sullen?
"This place is not welcome to you! Please leave at once!" Rupud was already Meng Jingtian's believer, and he immediately acted to protect Meng Jingtian and tried to drive Luo Yang's group away.
"Ding! High-level Alchemist Rupud's Friendliness toward you is now negative!" Luo Yang once more heard a system notification.
"Pah! You think I want to stay around in this shabby place?" Luo Yang huffed before turning to leave.
But to his surprise, these words enraged Rupud so much that he immediately threw a potion bottle.
Oinkoink!
Luo Yang's group that had just been about to leave had been transformed into small pigs! Even their voices had turned into oinks and grunts.
Meng Jingtian's eyes brightened as he exclaimed, "Transformation potion!"
Other games also had potions like this that could change a character's form, and they were normally high-class potions!
After all, what would happen if an enemy that had been bursting with stats was suddenly changed into an animal without a single skill?
"Correct! This is a high-level potion that I kept away for many years. Using it on you is truly a waste!" Rupud appeared rather smug as he glanced at Luo Yang's group.
"Do you still have this sort of potion?" Meng Jingtian couldn't help but ask.
"Uh… My apologies, Great God, but I only had one left. But if Great God needs it, I can make some more! But… I need some boar tusks!" Rupud awkwardly replied.
"Ding! Transformation Potion: A high-level alchemist requests that you gather some boar tusks for him!
"Mission Time Limit: 1 day.
"Mission Reward: Transformation Potion x3, Level + 1."
A couple of offhand remarks from Meng Jingtian had somehow landed him another mission.
This left him stunned.
Ah, high Friendliness lets you do whatever you want!
Rupud, as a westerner in an eastern setting, could already be considered a hidden NPC. Ordinary players would probably have to waste ages just raising his Friendliness in order to get his mission!
For example, Zhang Defa got shooed out from Rupud's home every time.
"I'll bring back some boar tusks, and I'll also find a language teacher in Seaside City. You can just stay here and make potions!" Meng Jingtian said, coming back to his senses and taking the mission.
"Thank you! Great God, I'll offer you my sincerest belief!" Rupud was so overcome that he started crying. Today, he truly felt that he had been saved!
His potions were finally useful, and he had also gotten a lot of gold coins! This filled him with confidence. No longer did he have to be a beggar eking out a living in the slums!
Meng Jingtian chuckled.
Your sincerest belief? This doesn't count! The mission is only fifty percent complete!
Meng Jingtian began to run around Seaside City, on one hand looking for possible believers and on the other hand seeking a language teacher for Rupud.
The blacksmith Mister Zhang, the pill pavilion apprentice Qing Feng, the waiter Little Stone from Fragrant Pavilion… As Meng Jingtian completed the missions they gave him, he gained believer after believer.
But their levels of Belief were not equal. Some were at ten-some points while others were at seventy to eighty, which was at the level of a pious believer.
After finding a toy for a girl called Little Flower, he finally reached ten believers and finished his main quest mission.
In a flash, several system messages rang out.
"Ding! Congratulations! For completing the mission, you have obtained stat points + 10, and 1 Stupa (divine weapon)!"
"Ding! Congratulations! Level up!"
"Ding! System Announcement: The shrine system is now unlocked. Players, please find shrines where you can make offerings, obtaining the blessings of the gods!"
The series of miscellaneous missions had boosted Meng Jingtian to Level 15. The mission system stated that he could only unlock the second main quest mission when he reached Level 20.
Meng Jingtian opened his stat panel and began to distribute his stat points.
...
Basic Stats Panel:
Strength:
Agility:
Constitution:
Spirit:
Divine Power:
Believers:
The two blue potions had boosted both his Strength and Constitution by 5. From what Meng Jingtian understood, gods should favor magic, so he placed all 25 of his free stat points in Spirit and Divine Power.
Meng Jingtian then excitedly inspected the divine weapon he had just obtained, Stupa. After all, it was a freaking divine weapon!
It had been only half a day since the servers had opened and he already had a divine weapon! He was so excited he could hardly contain himself!
Stupa (Growth divine weapon) Rank 1: A divine weapon embryo born from the world. It is currently at the lowest rank. It can absorb the souls of Gold-grade Beast Kings or higher to grow.
...
Stats: Attack + 1000, Critical Hit + 10%, Penetration + 10%
Passive: Wounding effect on damage, dealing 5% of the remaining HP every second for 5 seconds. Can trigger once every 10 seconds.
Growth: 0/1
Chapter 8
A Bug in the Game
With a divine weapon in hand, the world is mine!
Meng Jingtian almost exploded from confidence. Grasping Stupa, which had transformed into a large saber, he strode out of the city as swiftly as a comet.
Cai Minghou was still in jail and waiting to be saved. Meng Jingtian was planning to finish off Rupud's mission as quickly as possible so that he could head off for Black Tortoise City.
He was now heading out of the city to kill a few boars for their tusks.
He had already checked on the forums. To the north of Seaside City was the ocean and to the south was a major road, flanked by forests which had numerous wild monsters.
When he arrived at the gate, in a dark corner, Bai Wensheng waved at a player next to him, his eyes flashing with hatred.
The other player looked uneasily at Bai Wensheng and warned, "You'd better keep your end of the deal!"
"Do I need to trick you? Hurry up! He's about to leave the city!" Bai Wensheng urged.
Customer support had already sent a reply saying that all the data had checked out and that Meng Jingtian had not cheated. As for that 'God Forsaken' debuff, it was the effect of a normal skill and he should seek out a method in the game to remove it.
This reply almost made Bai Wensheng lose it, but he couldn't do anything about it. 'Tomorrow' was published by the United Nations, and no matter how many complaints he sent, he wouldn't be able to change a thing.
In the end, he could only put all the blame on Meng Jingtian.
Bai Wensheng was a very petty person. He now hated Meng Jingtian to the bones, finding not one good thing to say about him. be𝚍𝚗𝚘ve𝚕.c𝚘𝚖
Moreover, Meng Jingtian's hawking of those 'divine potions' had vexed Bai Wensheng so much that he couldn't even grind. His mind was so focused on revenge that he couldn't think about anything else.
Thus, he decided to go back to the city and keep an eye out for Meng Jingtian.
"Stop!"
Just when Meng Jingtian was about to step out of the city, a player jumped out in front of him.
"What's this? A robbery?" This guy jumping out in front of him was almost exactly like a highway bandit, and Meng Jingtian couldn't help but laugh.
The man clearly felt rather embarrassed, and then he yelled at Meng Jingtian, "Cheating dog! You loser! What this old man hates the most is people who ruin the fairness of games! Don't even think about leaving this city today!"
"Cheating?" Meng Jingtian paused and looked around. As expected, he saw Bai Wensheng standing in a corner, watching with folded arms.
"Stand aside!" Meng Jingtian frowned and took a step to the side.
The game had only just opened, and he hadn't offended that many people. There was only one person who stubbornly believed that he was cheating, and that was Bai Wensheng.
This player was clearly under Bai Wensheng's command. Meng Jingtian didn't know what he was up to, but he had no desire to wrangle with him.
Moreover, Bai Wensheng had commanded this player to block his way instead of doing so himself. There was clearly some sort of scheme afoot!
"I already said that you shouldn't even think about leaving the city today!" The player once more stood in Meng Jingtian's path.
Virtual online games weren't like those antique online games from more than one hundred years ago. In front of him was not some illusory image. It was impossible to just walk through another person.
Seeing that this person wasn't dropping it, Meng Jingtian decided to just walk over to Bai Wensheng.
To his surprise, Bai Wensheng was an utter coward. The moment he saw Meng Jingtian come over, he took to his heels.
"Pah." Meng Jingtian, who had always regarded himself as a very composed person, couldn't help but spit in disgust. This guy really lived up to his reputation as the most repulsive player in 'Grand Desolation'. But this disgusting person really did have some skill.
At this moment, he hated himself for not adding a few points to Agility, preventing him from getting past this player under Bai Wensheng's command and leaving the city.
A few moments later, Meng Jingtian lost his patience and pointed Stupa at this player called Cao Yang. "Are you letting me through or not?!"
"No way! I'm not letting you through! What can you do? Come at me!" Cao Yang smugly declared, seeming to have taken to his role.
"You really think this old man won't dare?" Meng Jingtian angrily said.
He was sure that this fellow was no match for him, but since this fellow had come here on Bai Wensheng's direction, there had to be some sort of trap!
"Stop blabbing! Come at me if you've got the guts! Put your saber right here!" Cao Yang pointed right at his neck.
Fwoosh!
Hot blood gushed out.
With a casual swing of his saber, Meng Jingtian took more than 2000 HP from Cao Yang and turned him into a white beam of light.
"Bah! What a scoundrel! He deserved it!" Meng Jingtian spat. This fellow was truly just asking for it, so it didn't matter if there was a trap. Kill and ask questions later!
"Arrest him! Daring to commit murder in the city! Seize him at once!" With his actions, Meng Jingtian seemed to walk right into Bai Wensheng's trap.
Bai Wensheng suddenly returned with a group of city guards, heartily laughing as he pointed at Meng Jingtian.
Meng Jingtian narrowed his eyes, instantly understanding Bai Wensheng's goal. Although Seaside City was a small city, it was also a proper city, a safe zone!
In the many games he had played before this, someone who killed another person in a safe zone would end up being jailed by the NPCs.
Moreover, Bai Wensheng was the son of the city guard captain.
Meng Jingtian's expression turned grave.
Ah, I was too careless and couldn't restrain myself!
He just had to be prepared to run out of the city. His only hope was that the city guards couldn't instantly kill him. Otherwise, he really would have fallen into that scoundrel's trap!
However, to the surprise of both Bai Wensheng and Meng Jingtian, the ten-some guards Bai Wensheng had brought pretended not to hear. They calmly stood behind Bai Wensheng and stared into the distance, not even glancing at Bai Wensheng.
"Are you all deaf? Or blind? Arrest him!" Bai Wensheng turned to one of the guards and raged.
Meng Jingtian looked at this nearby guard's Friendliness and smiled in understanding. He was afraid that Bai Wensheng was going to be disappointed!
"My apologies. This time, do you want to return to the spawn point yourself, or do you want me to send you?" It was good enough that he hadn't gone to Bai Wensheng to settle accounts, but this fellow still dared to come and find him? Meng Jingtian narrowed his eyes at the fuming Bai Wensheng as he spoke.
Bai Wensheng shivered and then immediately turned to run.
Meng Jingtian coldly chuckled and spat out two words: "Divine Punishment!"
Crack!
A white bolt of lightning flashed down. As if it had a guidance system installed, it accurately picked Bai Wensheng out from all the other players in the city and descended upon his head.
...
"-5888" A number popped up in the combat log as Bai Wensheng transformed into a beam of light.
One could say that unless it was a Level 20 player who had put all his points into Constitution, no one in this early stage of the game could take a 'Divine Punishment' from Meng Jingtian.
This was the difference between 'man' and 'god'. He had to admit that this skill was like a bug in the game!
No, Meng Jingtian's character was a bug in the game!
Chapter 9
Heaven-Defying Gold Boss
"Shit! This still isn't cheating? Who do you think you're fooling? Is that kid the son of the game company's CEO?" At the spawn point, Bai Wensheng looked at his stat panel, his mouth twitching.
God Forsaken debuff x2! This freaking thing could stack!
Even though he knew that it was probably useless, Bai Wensheng still ran off to find customer support and report Meng Jingtian again!
He then dejectedly logged out, opened a chat platform, and entered a chat group called 'Godslayer'.
Meanwhile, Meng Jingtian was bursting with confidence. This Belief Halo was awesome! He could kill someone in a city without getting penalized! So what did he have to be afraid of?
The next time he saw that rascal Bai Wensheng, wherever he was, he would just kill him!
As bystanders watched in shock, Meng Jingtian strode out of Seaside City with his saber.
Unbeknownst to him, not long after he left, an unfortunate player who had watched Meng Jingtian get away scot-free with murder misunderstood 'Tomorrow' as not having 'safe zones'. Thus, he tried to imitate him and ended up getting thrown in jail by the city guards.
By now, Meng Jingtian had arrived at the 'boar forest' outside the city. There were many players here already. Frequently, a boar would appear and instantly get cut down in a barrage of skills.
Meng Jingtian was rather dejected. Kill-stealing monsters was also a sort of skill!
His character was innately a bug-like existence with far more attack power than anyone else.
But it wasn't cheating, and his skill still had a cooldown. While he was sure that he could steal a kill with Divine Punishment, for ordinary attacks, he would have to rely on luck.
There were many times when he swung his saber and the monster was dead before the damage could even be calculated.
Thus, gathering boar tusks was very slow. Meng Jingtian worked patiently for around ten minutes, and once he saw that the mission was done, he prepared to go back.
But just as he was about to leave, the surrounding players suddenly became restless. Meng Jingtian raised his head and saw a giant brown boar with long tusks charging out of the forest.
A boss spawned? Meng Jingtian was surprised. He didn't expect his luck to be this good!
After farming these little monsters for only about ten minutes, he ran into such a good thing!
He immediately began to walk over with a group of players.
Enraged Boar King (Gold Boss): As the leader of the boars, the Boar King possesses formidable strength that will tear apart all and destroy homes.
Level:
HP: 1,000,0
Skills: Stomp, Earth's Fury, Bellowing Charge…
After reading the Boar King's info, Meng Jingtian immediately backed away. He would let these excited players who had lost their minds after seeing this gold boss charge up first.
The players grinding here were all just ordinary players without any guilds. The moment the boss appeared, they took heart in their numbers to charge forward and unleash all their skills at the Boar King.
They had probably deluded themselves into thinking that the Boar King would be just like the smaller boars, instantly wiped out by their human wave tactics. All of them wanted to snatch the last hit!
But they had failed to realize that the Boar King had one million HP, and this wasn't even considering its other stats or defenses. A skill from an ordinary player was like an itch, barely scratching off several dozen hit points.
"Earth's Fury!" As expected, the Boar King roared and stomped down a hoof. A dark yellow ring spread outward, instantly turning those hundred-some players charging at the front into beams of white light.
The crowded area instantly became rather empty. Those players who had yet to charge immediately began to run, their courage broken.
But the Boar King wasn't some passive monster. Even if players didn't attack it, it would approach and attack any players within a certain range.
The Boar King charged, turning player after player into white light.
A few moments later, the bustling training ground that was the boar forest had become empty, a bleak wind blowing through it.
All that was left was the enormous and majestic Boar King and Meng Jingtian, staring at each other.
Was this a gold boss? Annihilating several hundred players as soon as it arrived? You're telling me that this is a gold boss?
Meng Jingtian was rather unsettled as he looked at the Boar King with a complicated expression.
Should I be fighting this boss? Or not?
The Belief Halo's effect was limited by strength. The stronger the other party, the weaker the Belief Halo's effect. The Boar King was also in an 'enraged' state, so its Friendliness toward Meng Jingtian was only at 30.
It was an extremely precarious number. It wouldn't be affectionate with him, nor did it attack him. Otherwise, Meng Jingtian might have ended up like the other players and been sent back to the city by this monster.
And would attacking it reduce its Friendliness?
Meng Jingtian was very troubled. He naturally didn't want to give up on a boss, but this was clearly a boss he couldn't fight alone.
"A gold boss has spawned in the boar forest! Gathering a team to fight it!"
"Super rare equipment is waiting for you! What are you waiting for? Brothers, join the team and let's kill that boar!"
Players were a very capable kind of people, and as Meng Jingtian was having a staredown with the Boar King, Seaside City's chat channel had already exploded, countless messages from players trying to start groups filling the screen.
Soon, several guilds began to form teams.
The Boar King instantly became the focus of Seaside City's players. 𝓫ℯ𝓭𝓃𝓸𝓋ℯ𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
"Someone's coming?" Meng Jingtian soon heard the sound of footsteps, and in the distance, he could see a group of players dressed in similar equipment.
These players all had equipment incorporating black wolf fur, indicating that they were all part of the same guild, a guild that had the strength to completely monopolize a training ground.
How else could they have gotten so much similar-looking equipment?
He should leave fighting bosses to specialists!
Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes. This sort of guild was usually very experienced when it came to beating a new boss. He would just see if he could pick up any leftovers!
As they crossed a certain boundary, the Boar King in front of Meng Jingtian seemed to be provoked and charged over.
Meng Jingtian used this moment when the Boar King was distracted to climb up a lush tree and hide.
It was quite the coincidence. This guild that had come first was none other than the guild he had interacted with before, the Beacon guild.
As he had been very far away and everyone knew that this Boar King was a boss that would actively attack players, no one believed that there would still be a player near the Boar King.
Now that the Boar King was moving, their attention had been placed completely on the Boar King, completely failing to notice Meng Jingtian climbing up the tree.
...
Chapter 10
Kill-stealing a Monster
The player attacked by the enraged Boar King only managed to last a single round. After a second attack, he turned into a beam of light and returned to the city.
"Retreat! Retreat!" One of Beacon's elders, Lan Xi, immediately called for the guild members to retreat.
More and more people began to arrive. Besides the massive number of unaffiliated players, there were also several other guilds: 'Misty Rain Tower', 'Sword Brand Pavilion', 'Hidden Dragon Courtyard'…
The guild system had yet to be unlocked, so these guild members had been gathered together by the guild's own organization system. On the surface, they were no different from unaffiliated players.
But their unconscious discipline and their excellent equipment made them very easy to differentiate from ordinary unaffiliated players.
At this time, the unaffiliated players could only impatiently watch from the edge for an opportunity to snipe the boss.
All the players had already seen the Boar King's power for themselves. This was the game's opening day, and the highest-level player on the ranking was Nangong Qi, who was only Level 18.
But the Boar King was a Level 25 boss. Purely in terms of level, it was far above the players, and it was also a gold boss.
For ordinary players, who had an average level of about 10, even if they had put all their points into Constitution, they would have still been wiped out by just two regular attacks from the Boar King.
In the face of such a powerful boss, not even those guilds that often claimed to be number one dared to be reckless and try to take it for themselves.
Under the leadership of the Beacon guild, the officers from the other guilds got together and began to discuss how to deal with the boss.
After all, this was a game. Even the strongest boss would eventually fall to a massive number of players.
After the discussions, the guilds gathered their best members and began to probe the boss.
One of the players from 'Beacon', Qin Yuming, was the main tank of the guild. He was already at Level 16, and the guilds had coordinated to give him a complete set of blue equipment, with two pieces of equipment even being purple. His HP was boosted to a level that had been very difficult to achieve before this: 20,000!
He was now the one to pull the monster, entering the Boar King's aggro range. The enraged Boar King instantly charged over.
But Qin Yuming did not immediately turn into a white beam of light and disappear. His HP dropped by one-tenth. From this, one could see just how high the Boar King's attack power was.
Qin Yuming hastily used his 'Sturdy Armor' skill. A layer of earthen yellow armor appeared around him, significantly boosting his defense.
Other guild members, under the command of their respective officers, began to unleash their skills against the Boar King in salvo after salvo.
These guild member elites were clearly well-trained. They had divided into several teams. One group specialized in healing, one group specialized in offense, and another group was responsible for taking the aggro off Qin Yuming when he was reaching his limit so that his skills could come off cooldown.
Everything seemed to be on the right track. The organizational power of these big guilds seemed foreordained to take down this seemingly heaven-defying gold boss that had annihilated several hundred players the moment it had appeared.
The Boar King's HP continued to fall. After ten minutes, it was at 70%.
"Bellowing Charge!" At this moment, the Boar King used a skill it had not used before. Lifting its giant tusks, the Boar King paused, paced at the ground once or twice, and then charged at Qin Yuming. 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝗺
"Get ready!" Qin Yuming was a gaming veteran, so when he saw this posture, he instantly knew that this skill wasn't going to be easy to deal with. Determining that he probably couldn't hold, he hurriedly called out to the off-tanks.
Boom!
A giant spike of earth erupted out of the ground, instantly killing Qin Yuming.
Even more tragic was that the earth spike's area of effect was not merely restricted to directly in front of the Boar King as Qin Yuming had expected. Rather, there were twelve spikes that emerged in all directions, essentially wiping out all the off-tanks who had been preparing to take the aggro.
And this wasn't even considering the attackers. Countless white beams of light shot into the air as they were sent back to the city by the Boar King.
Only those players lucky enough to be between the earth spikes were able to survive.
A dumbstruck off-tank took the aggro from the Boar King, but because of that abrupt assault, a significant number of healers had died. In the midst of this chaos, it took only half a minute for this off-tank to die.
Another massacre ensued, the Boar King charging here and there and sending the elites of the guilds back to the spawn point.
Fortunately, an elder of one of the guilds was still alive and was able to call for a hasty retreat, thus preventing the group from being completely wiped out.
"Trash! All trash!" Atop the tree, Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes and grumbled.
But he was just complaining for complaining's sake. Was there any new boss that didn't take several deaths to take down?
Meng Jingtian also understood this principle, so he continued to patiently squat on the tree.
Those big guilds naturally wouldn't give up because of a small setback like this. They quickly organized themselves again, summarized their experiences from last time, and once more began to surround the boss.
They fought the boss again and again, taking up almost the entire afternoon. Almost all the guild members had died three or four times, but they had finally ground down the Boar King to a sliver of HP.
Two hundred thousand… one hundred and fifty thousand… one hundred thousand!
The Boar King's HP was slowly draining away. Meng Jingtian arched his body and stared at the nearby Boar King.
He would have only one chance, so he needed to precisely calculate the Boar King's remaining HP.
Otherwise, with so many players present, if he misfired his one skill, he would be instantly killed, meaning that he had wasted his entire afternoon squatting around.
Twenty thousand! The Boar King only had twenty thousand HP left. Everyone's hearts leapt to their throats. After grinding this boss for an entire afternoon, they couldn't help but wonder what sort of rewards would drop.
What would the system reward them with for being the first to kill a gold boss? In any case, at least they would get their names on the announcement!
Almost all the players who were participating in the boss raid couldn't help but dream. They could already see the dazzling equipment and titles before them.
But just when the Boar King's last sliver of HP was about to disappear, when the moment everyone was looking forward to was about to arrive, a dazzling bolt of white lightning crashed into the Boar King's head.
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Meng Jingtian for being the first to kill Gold-grade Field Boss 'Enraged Boar King'! Reward: 1 Guild Formation Token, Title (Purple Unique): Humanity's Brave, Level + 3!"
The system's announcement left all the guild players dumbstruck. Why wasn't it any of the teams? They were all grouped! Had one of the unaffiliated players really managed to steal the kill?
"Ding! Congratulations for leveling up!"
"Ding! Congratulations! Title obtained: Humanity's Brave! Because the player is of the God Race, the system has automatically converted this to Title: Divine Brave!"
The enormous amount of EXP from the Boar King and the system's reward instantly raised Meng Jingtian's levels by 5, causing him to surpass Nangong Qi and take first place.
Chapter 11
Protection from an NPC
The moment the Boar King died, a pile of equipment radiating a rainbow of lights fell to the ground.
With all the speed of a lowly thief, Meng Jingtian put all five of the stat points he had just received into Agility, jumped down from the tree, grabbed two pieces of equipment, and ran.
Only now, when they saw that white silhouette jump down from a tree, did the guild players realize that it was not one of the spectating players in the back who had gotten the last hit on the boss, but a player who had been lying in wait this entire time to steal the kill!
"Shit! Kill him!"
"Where did this scoundrel come from?"
"I heard that brat Tian Xuance is also in Seaside City. Could it be him? We should have been watching out for him ages ago!"
The guilds fell into disarray, all kinds of curses and insults filling the air.
For an ordinary, unaffiliated player to accidentally get the last hit was one thing. Other than titles, which couldn't be traded, the guilds could use threats and promises to pry the equipment from the hands of other players. Thus, they had not been too worried, only surprised.
But the situation was completely different if it was someone who had been waiting to steal the kill. How could someone who had been intending to kill-steal a monster be willing to hand over anything?
Almost all the guild members attacked Meng Jingtian in rage, but Meng Jingtian, with his 15 points in Agility, was rather fast. By the time the other players reacted, he had already escaped their attack range.
In order to avoid the boss's skills, the guild members stood together in groups, but now that they were chasing Meng Jingtian, this tactic caused them to push and shove against each other as they pursued, sowing chaos.
There were only seven or eight guild players who had favored agility that successfully managed to break away from the group and use their skills on Meng Jingtian.
Three to five homing skills flew at Meng Jingtian, and with no way he could dodge, the players smiled.
But as those skills landed on Meng Jingtian, their smiles froze. What the hell was going on?
Why didn't his HP drop?!
They flipped through the combat log in disbelief.
'Boomerang' hits Meng Jingtian for 350 damage.
'Sword Qi Breeze' hits Meng Jingtian for 500 damage.
Meng Jingtian used 'Divine Recovery': HP + 5000.
'Blood Curse' hits Meng Jingtian for 233 damage.
What in the freaking world?!
The players were rendered speechless. Their skills each hit for several hundred hit points, but Meng Jingtian had a recovery skill that healed five thousand?
Were they playing the same game? Weren't they all around the same level?
"Divine Punishment!" As Meng Jingtian ran, he didn't forget to fire off his skill at the closest pursuing player.
In a white flash of light, the player was sent back to the spawn point.
But the other players didn't give up and continued to chase Meng Jingtian. Several big guilds had worked together to beat a boss. If they let a random player snatch their victory, how could they show their face in front of the other guilds?
Whoosh!
In another white beam of light, another player was sent back to the spawn point.
Relying purely on Divine Punishment and Divine Recovery, his two starting skills, Meng Jingtian managed to run back to Seaside City, with a large pack of players right behind him.
Alas, he was still guilty of provoking several large guilds. While Beacon wasn't one of the high-ranked guilds in 'Grand Desolation', it was still a familiar name.
The moment he returned to Seaside City, he was surrounded by guild players who were coming from the city and his pursuers behind him.
"Run! Rascal, keep running! Hand the items over and then get out of Seaside City!" The handsome and aloof Lan Xi emerged from the crowd, inspecting Meng Jingtian with narrowed eyes.
"No way! I sniped that monster with my own abilities. Why do I have to hand over anything?" Meng Jingtian, seeing the situation, decided to stop running, shrugging his shoulders as he frankly spoke.
In the end, he would just die once. Even if he dropped one or two pieces of equipment, he would still have made a profit. It wasn't like he could be so unlucky as to drop Stupa, right?
"You'd better have thought this through clearly! Hand over the items, or do you want us to kill you back to Level 1? You'll probably have dropped everything you own by then," Lan Xi threatened.
Meng Jingtian smiled and confidently said, "If you have the guts, come and kill me! What are you still chattering for?"
Unless they had their entire guild give up on leveling to spawn-camp him, Meng Jingtian really wasn't afraid of a few players standing guard.
Lan Xi's face darkened. He glanced at several players, who immediately came forward and attacked Meng Jingtian, not caring that the city was a safe zone.
Meng Jingtian had stopped, but that was because he was surrounded and couldn't run. This didn't mean that he couldn't counterattack. As he dodged, he took aim at Lan Xi and fired off a Divine Punishment.
Though this was a game, the principle of battle still applied: capture the king to subdue his subordinates.
No matter how many minor characters of a guild one fought, one would never be able to influence a guild's decisions.
But if you beat up their officers,they would understand that this wasn't a person to lightly offend!
Whoosh!
In a white beam of light, the well-equipped Lan Xi was instantly sent back to the spawn point.
At the same time, the crowd surrounding Meng Jingtian grew restless.
As Meng Jingtian wrangled with the guild players, he saw several city guards and some NPCs he had done missions for walk up.
A few moments later, the gathered guild members had all been arrested by the city guards. Meanwhile, the city NPCs were being led by Blacksmith Zhang in what seemed to be some sort of protest.
"Punish the thugs! Bring justice back to Seaside City!"
"Lawless! Far too lawless! In broad daylight, these hoodlums dare to gang up and commit crimes in Seaside City!"
Several of the city residents conversed with each other, anger in their voices.
Let alone the guild members, even Meng Jingtian was taken aback by this development.
No way? He knew that his status as a god made NPCs innately friendly toward him, but how was it that quarrels between players had provoked protests from the NPCs?
Not even in other games would maximizing NPCs' Friendliness produce this sort of result!
After all, players and NPCs were different. In the game world, the two followed different sets of laws. Unless there was a system activity going on, NPCs basically wouldn't interfere in player struggles or activities.
...
Even if a player were attacked in a safe zone, the most that would happen was that the offending players would be seized.
But this situation was entirely different. Not only had all the players surrounding Meng Jingtian been taken away by the guards, the NPC residents were marching around in indignant rage, calling them thugs that threatened the safety of the city. What the hell was going on?
"Great God, our utmost apologies!" While Meng Jingtian was still in a daze, an armored NPC who appeared to be some sort of general came up to him, a look of shame on his face. "We didn't think that our Seaside City's public order had gotten so bad! We'll definitely punish them properly. Please do not take this incident to heart."
Chapter 12
Inspecting the Spoils
"Uh… It's fine! This world has good people, so it also has bad people. I can understand why they did it!" Meng Jingtian empathetically said, coming to his senses.
"Great God, your heart is truly as broad and open as Dragon God Ao Qian's!" The NPC looked reverentially at Meng Jingtian.
"Ding! Seaside City Commander-in-Chief Gu Mao's Belief + 5!"
Dragon God Ao Qian? Meng Jingtian pondered this name. This game had a shrine system, and through offerings, players could obtain blessings from these shrines. There were quite a few NPC gods, so should he go and pay some of them a visit?
"The Dragon God is a mighty god while I am merely a newborn god! I cannot match him!" Meng Jingtian complimented the Dragon God as he waved away Gu Mao's praise.
Since Gu Mao had brought up the Dragon God, this was probably the god he was devoted to. So Meng Jingtian didn't mind complimenting the Dragon God in this way.
"Right! If it's possible, I plan to pay respects to the Dragon God. Do you know where his shrine is?" Meng Jingtian asked.
"Great God is far too humble. The Great Dragon God's temple is in the city, near the shore!" Meng Jingtian's compliments to the Dragon truly did make Gu Mao happy, and he enthusiastically gave directions.
Not long afterward, the disturbance was pacified. All the guild players who had been chasing Meng Jingtian had been thrown into prison for twenty-four hours. At this time, the players were no match for NPCs, and even if they were unwilling to accept this situation, they were incapable of causing much trouble.
Meanwhile, Meng Jingtian, after finishing his talk with NPCs, strutted over to the Dragon God's temple.
As night gradually fell, the light of the sunset appeared like golden scales on the waves of the ocean, a gorgeous and magnificent sight.
The Dragon God's temple was located on the coast of Seaside City, on an area of somewhat higher elevation.
The flying eaves of the temple exuded a light majesty and an indescribable power.
The shrine system had only just opened, and many players still didn't understand how to use it. Moreover, in the early period of the game, most players were only concerned with leveling up, and there was no time for exploring other parts of the game.
The majority of the people worshiping at the shrine were NPCs. When these NPCs saw Meng Jingtian, they smiled and quickly got out of his way.
Once Meng Jingtian reached the temple, he looked around.
The object of worship in the temple was naturally an idol, a resplendent golden dragon with a dignified dragon head that looked down on the world with a domineering gaze.
Other than worshiping NPCs, there was also a middle-aged temple attendant.
The attendant had a thin body and wore a dark blue robe, and he appeared somewhat like an immortal.
Upon seeing Meng Jingtian, the temple attendant rushed over in surprise. "For what reason has Great God descended? Please forgive this one for not coming out to meet you."
The temple attendant was respectful, but he was neither too humble nor too meek. There was also an intimacy to his voice that made one instinctively want to be friends with him.
Alas, this temple attendant's Friendliness to him was only at 50, not like the NPCs in the city.
"There is no need for the temple attendant to be so formal. This minor god has also come here to pay my respects to the Great Dragon God." Meng Jingtian smiled, took out a few copper coins, and bought two incense sticks from the temple attendant for the Dragon God. He then took a stroll around this small temple and left.
Meng Jingtian was now Level 20, and his second main quest mission had appeared.
"Main Quest Mission (2): As a god, you need both a temple and believers. Establish your first temple!
"Mission Time Limit: 1 year.
"Mission Reward: 1 divine weapon, 1 divine-rank skill book, Level + 3, 100,000 gold coins!"
Meng Jingtian hadn't come here purely to pay respects to the god. He had also come here to get a reference!
Because his next mission was to build a temple!
But building a temple would probably be just as difficult as other players building a city or establishing a guild. It would probably take some planning, or why else would it have a time limit of one year?
In addition, this game had various kinds of gods already. He would have to fight with them for territory and believers! So it was best to be cautious.
He had spent the afternoon camping by the Boar King and then been chased by the guilds, so it was now night in the game. Rather than handing in Rupud's mission, Meng Jingtian decided to inspect his spoils.
First, he naturally had to look at the rankings. He was now at the lofty position of number one while Nangong Qi sat at number two, and he had also just leveled up again. The advantage of birthplace in this game was starkly evident.
Next, he looked at the system rewards for being the first to kill a gold boss.
There was no need to talk about the Guild Formation Token. As the first such token in the game, it would naturally be something that all the guilds would scramble for.
Meng Jingtian didn't have plans to make a guild, so this item had no use for him. After some thought, he decided to put it up for auction.
This thing's value was time-based, that it was the first of its kind. Naturally, the earlier he put it up for sale, the higher the price he could command.
For these guilds that were vying for supremacy, all of them practically needed to get the reputation of being the first to establish a guild.
They could even advertise and brag about the fact that they were the first guild. 'The number one guild to be established' could be shortened to 'the number one guild'!
This would be a big boost to the guild's morale and development.
Besides reputation, being the first to establish a guild would allow their members to enjoy the benefits of a guild, thus indirectly assisting in the guild's development.
Even though it was such a valuable item, Meng Jingtian stopped paying attention to it after putting it up for auction, turning his attention to the title he had just obtained.
"Divine Brave (Purple): + 5% Attack and an additional + 5% damage to races besides the God Race."
"Equip!" Meng Jingtian immediately equipped the title. In any case, he didn't have another title, so he didn't have a choice to hesitate over.
Next were the items dropped by the Boar King. As the situation had been tense, he had only had time to take two of the items.
When it came to games, weapons and head accessories were the most valued equipment. What Meng Jingtian had taken from the Boar King was the only weapon that had dropped and a ring.
"Tsunami Trident (Purple): Rumors say that this is a weapon that a warrior of an ocean race lost on the shore.
"Stats: Attack + 500, Water Element Damage + 5%.
"Passive: Allows the use of skill 'Wave Strike', which deals 150% of your basic Attack as Water Element damage!"
It truly lived up to its status as a purple item. In the early stages of the game, it would already be considered a divine weapon, but Meng Jingtian had a real divine weapon in 'Stupa', so he didn't have much use for it. He decided to throw it into his bag and see if Cai Minghou needed it.
The last was the ring. It was a simple ring that seemed to be made of stone, and it did not directly show what color rank it was. The only information Meng Jingtian could see was this: 'A forgotten ring (Unidentified)'.
It didn't even say what level of equipment it was. There was clearly something very unusual about this ring.
Meng Jingtian's eyes glinted in surprise as he repeatedly used Divine Examination on the ring.
Divine Examination was an investigation skill, and a god's investigation skill could inspect anything in the world. Identifying some piece of equipment was naturally no problem.
...
But his Divine Examination was only at Rank 1, so its effect wasn't phenomenal.
Chapter 13
Godslayer Hall
"Ding! Congratulations! Identification successful!" After a long while and a crisp notification, the ring's stats were finally revealed.
Forgotten Ring (Orange): A forgotten treasure that once flaunted its power in the hands of King Ding Jun of the Black Dragon Kingdom.
Stats: All stats +
Passive: Bag space + 100; automatically pick up unowned items within 10 meters.
Additional Skills: Instant Movement: Can execute a directional spatial jump within 50 meters, with a cooldown of 24 hours.
"Treasure! Truly a treasure!" Meng Jingtian's eyes flashed as he sighed in awe. It was exactly as the description said, a treasure!
The highest level of equipment in the game was supposedly purple, but the appearance of the Forgotten Ring had overthrown this understanding.
In terms of pure stats, the Forgotten Ring was definitely on par with purple equipment.
From this, one could see that orange equipment was above purple equipment!
But compared to traditional online games, virtual online games made more of an attempt at realism, and there were certain aspects that were more in line with the physical laws of reality.
For example, a character could not layer up clothes, and if you dropped an item, you would have to bend down and pick it up yourself.
In this situation, the Forgotten Ring's ability to pick up items, which would seem very useless in traditional online games, was incredible!
With this ring, he would have been able to pick up all the items the Boar King had dropped.
Meng Jingtian sighed, but he didn't mind. In any case, he had already gotten enough this time.
He had even inexplicably managed to throw all those guilds who had been chasing him into jail. He didn't even need to think to know that the officers of those guilds were probably furious.
It was one thing to have the kill stolen after fighting a boss for the entire afternoon, but even though so many people had hunted down Meng Jingtian, they had failed to kill him and had all been jailed for twenty-four hours! It was humiliating beyond words!
Meng Jingtian knew that he had offended all the guilds of Seaside City. Once they got out, would he still be able to enjoy himself?
Even though it was now night in the game, he didn't log off. He ran over to Rupud and handed in the boar tusk mission, instantly reaching Level 21.
But the 'God's Salvation' mission was still not complete.
However, Meng Jingtian had already spoken with Little Stone from Fragrant Pavilion, who had agreed to teach Rupud the eastern language and help him interact with the residents of the city.
Little Stone was a waiter, and he had excellent socializing talents, able to interact with people of all trades and personalities. He was also an eloquent speaker. Thus, he was the best candidate for teaching Rupud.
Meng Jingtian had already done a mission for Little Stone that had made him one of his believers, so he had not refused such a minor request.
But NPCs were different from players. In the game world, they had normal routines. Meng Jingtian couldn't go and find Little Stone in the middle of the night to have him teach Rupud. He could only wait until daybreak.
Meng Jingtian used this time to open the game forums and see if there was anything interesting.
To play a game well, one needed to have a full grasp of the latest news, and the official forums of the game would undoubtedly be one of the first places to get new information.
But to his surprise, the first topic he saw on opening the forum was about him.
The words 'Meng Jingtian' were emblazoned on the most popular topic, and when he opened it, he saw that Beacon, Misty Rain Tower, Sword Brand Pavilion… five guilds in all, had jointly issued a kill order against him!
"Holy shit!" Meng Jingtian bitterly scratched his nose and muttered, "It seems I broke a new record again. On the first day of the game, I became wanted by five guilds!"
The post had been published by Lan Xi, and in the post, with a most authentic tone, he tearfully recounted Meng Jingtian's wicked deeds. He even alleged that Meng Jingtian had to have some sort of secret and forbidden relationship with the NPCs.
Of course, the most important thing was that the guilds had promised to richly reward anyone who killed Meng Jingtian and took a screenshot. Killing him once would earn one the rich reward of ten thousand alliance coins!
Moreover, if the killer was an unaffiliated player, they could choose to join any of the five guilds. If they entered the guilds, they would immediately be made a captain, and an elder would personally help them level up, among other benefits.
Beneath the post was a slew of spectators who were just enjoying the show, filling up the first page. But the number of people who were really planning to kill Meng Jingtian were few and far between.
If not even these guilds could finish off this guy, how could ordinary players do it?
Meng Jingtian laughed and put the post on his 'watched' list before going back to the main page. He then saw another topic, just posted, that mentioned his name.
The name 'Meng Jingtian' had been written in a special font that made it seem like it was dripping with blood. Besides the name, there was no other information in the topic title.
But the moment the topic was made, it instantly took the top spot and was instantly dominated by the spectating crowd.
Almost all the veteran players, players who had been playing for ten-some years, knew what that font meant. 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝑜𝑚
'Godslayer Hall'!
This was an 'assassination group' that spanned several major games. Of course, they were only assassins in the game.
But that didn't mean one could look down on this organization. Godslayer Hall was extremely mysterious. Once it took a mission, it would never rest until it was completed.
Their missions were divided into three classes.
Class A: Kill the mission target down to level 0. Wipe out all traces of them in the game that could be wiped out.
Class B: Kill the mission target until they drop all their equipment.
Class C: Kill the mission target once.
Of course, since they were known for being relentless against their targets, the Godslayer Hall commanded a high price for its services.
The price was usually determined by the fame of the target and the class of the mission ordered.
For a Class C mission against an ordinary player, the fee would be ten times the price of an ordinary item in the game!
Of course, no one was fool enough to find the Godslayer Hall to kill an ordinary player.
According to records kept by very bored people, Godslayer Hall did not have a single failure in its history.
The most famous incident caused by Godslayer Hall was when the son of some rich tycoon issued a Class A mission against the guild master of the third-ranked guild of the most popular game of the time.
After three months of relentless pursuit, Godslayer Hall truly managed to complete the mission!
Ever since then, the rumor that Godslayer Hall had a 100% mission success rate began to spread among gamers. Meng Jingtian had also heard of its fame.
This wasn't the first time he had ended up on the mission list of Godslayer Hall. In 'Grand Desolation', someone had issued a Class B mission against him.
And the final result… since Godslayer Hall's legend continued, it was obvious.
...
He had dropped all his divine equipment, and as it was in the late stages of the game, it had essentially been impossible for him to regain his former rank.
After all, he was a poor pleb who had no way of paying his way to power. It was only by working himself to the bone that he had been able to maintain his lifestyle.
And what made him feel most helpless of all was that he had experienced all of this not because he had made too many enemies, but due to a very cliché scenario.
'The moment I saw your girlfriend, I knew that you and I would be friends!'
Chapter 14
Leaving Seaside City
Not only had that scoundrel stolen his wife in the game, he had even requested Godslayer Hall to empty his inventory and force him out of the game!
"Haaa!" Coming back to his senses, Meng Jingtian looked at the crimson words and bitterly smiled. He shook his head, not wanting to recall that period of his past.
Godslayer Hall's custom was to post their target on the forum once they had accepted a mission. In the game, they would also make world announcements three times. The purpose of this bombastic style was to flaunt their absolute strength.
Meng Jingtian opened the post and looked it over. It was just a Class C mission. It seemed that the person who issued the mission wasn't that rich!
The other party clearly hated him to the bones, or else they wouldn't have gone to Godslayer Hall, but they also weren't particularly rich.
The five guilds were all wealthy. If they had issued the mission, it definitely wouldn't be a mere Class C.
Who else could it be? It could only be Bai Wensheng.
Meng Jingtian narrowed his eyes, his lips curling into a smile. A hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.
The legend of Godslayer Hall? I failed to shatter it last time, but let's see how I do this time!
In this game, he was a 'god'! He would like to see if Godslayer Hall could maintain their invincible legend in front of a true 'god'!
Closing the forum, Meng Jingtian returned to the game. As expected, in the world channel, he saw the 'announcement' that Godslayer Hall had just posted.
This was Godslayer Hall's first mission in 'Tomorrow', so the moment the announcement appeared, it immediately drew the attention and curiosity of many players. Who was this Meng Jingtian?
Because one could not create their own character in 'Tomorrow', everyone had entered the game with their real name. Those powerhouses who had dominated other games were no longer so easily recognized.
After all, who knew if the real names of those godly players with majestic IDs were just ordinary names like Zhang San, Li Si, or Wang Mazi?
"Brother Tian? Is that scoundrel Burial Sword making trouble for you again? I was hoping that you would save me, but it seems that you'll have a hard time just protecting yourself! Why don't you go offline for a few days?" Although Cai Minghou had been locked up by NPCs in a little cell, he could still read the player chats, so he quickly sent over a message of 'condolence'.
"Go offline for how many days? And stop grinding? You know that Godslayer Hall doesn't give up that easily," Meng Jingtian quickly replied.
"Relax! It's not Burial Sword. If it were him, he wouldn't issue a mere Class C. Just wait quietly for me to save you!"
"What? Only a Class C?" The scatterbrained Cai Minghou realized that he had been overly concerned.
"I was saying! This game just started, so who in the world would spend so much money on a big mission?! Alright, you'll just be dying once anyway, so come and save me! I'll try and think of a way out on my end too," Cai Minghou heartlessly said, dropping the courtesy.
After conversing with Cai Minghou, Meng Jingtian decided to still log off.
Of course, it wasn't because he was afraid of Godslayer Hall. It was because it was night in the game, and while the majority of NPCs were sleeping, he couldn't complete any missions. In addition, the monsters outside of the city became much more powerful, reducing the efficiency of grinding. It was better to sign off and save his energy.
It was night in the game but only noon in reality. Meng Jingtian summoned his computer projection and spent twenty alliance coins on a nutritional set meal.
Two minutes later, his doorbell rang, and an intelligent robot opened the door and came in with his 'lunch takeout'.
After eating and drinking his fill, Meng Jingtian went to the apartment's shared gym and worked out a little before returning to the game world.
It was now daybreak in the game. Meng Jingtian went to pick up Little Stone and take him to Rupud's home.
As he was a 'god', the owner of Fragrant Pavilion didn't object to Little Stone being taken away.
"Old Ru! Open the door!" Meng Jingtian knocked on the door and yelled.
After completing several missions, he had grown very familiar with Rupud, and he no longer needed all those empty courtesies.
"So early?" Opening the door, Rupud was astonished to see Meng Jingtian and Little Stone.
Under Meng Jingtian's advice, Rupud was no longer wearing that black cloak that almost completely concealed his body, instead wearing the blue robes commonly worn by inhabitants of Seaside City.
His golden hair made Little Stone very curious, but as Meng Jingtian was present, he kept his manners and warmly greeted Rupud.
Rupud had not communicated with people in a long time and was very nervous, but he still warmly led the pair into his shack and served western pastries that he had made himself.
Meng Jingtian acted as a temporary translator between the two of them. As long as he repeated their words exactly, the other party would naturally hear the words translated by the system into a language they could understand. 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦
As it was Meng Jingtian, this 'god', who had introduced them, the two of them put aside their concerns over each other's differences and began to get along.
Meng Jingtian told Rupud that as Little Stone didn't understand the western language, he could teach Rupud the eastern language through physical objects and actions, as if he was teaching a child.
Rupud said that he understood and began his studies on the spot.
As an alchemist, Rupud possessed formidable intelligence and excellent memory. It didn't take long for him to learn a few simple phrases and to 'chat' with Little Stone.
With a whoosh, Meng Jingtian shot up from his chair.
"Ding! Congratulations! 'God's Salvation' mission complete!"
"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained your first fervent believer! You may summon your fervent believer at any location and activate a belief buff to increase your capabilities."
"Ding! Congratulations! Level up!"
The notifications made Meng Jingtian feel as if a great weight had been lifted off his shoulders. Level 24!
He was now the highest-leveled player in the game. He was now confident that there was a way to shatter the legend of Godslayer Hall!
"Well then, continue chatting. I have some matters to attend to!" After saying his goodbyes, Meng Jingtian rushed out and made his way toward the teleportation portal in the central square.
"My apologies! Great God, the rules state that even you must pay 10 gold coins to use the teleportation portal to Black Tortoise City!" a guard wearing silver armor standing in front of the teleportation portal said to Meng Jingtian, an embarrassed look on his face.
Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched. He did not have 10 gold coins.
Although Rupud had sold his potions for quite a few gold coins, those were all Rupud's. The small missions Meng Jingtian had completed earlier had only earned him several dozen copper coins.
Meng Jingtian recalled the Guild Formation Token he had put up for auction. Wondering if it had been sold yet, he immediately opened the screen.
"Holy shit! Two million! Where the hell did these guys get so much game currency?" Meng Jingtian couldn't help but sullenly grumble upon seeing the price.
The Guild Formation Token's auction was still ongoing, and the various guilds were still making bids, so he could only look at this eye-popping sum, not take it!
"Truly, lack of a single coin can even bring down a hero!" Meng Jingtian couldn't help but sigh.
Chapter 15
Black Tortoise City
"Everyone, look over there! Isn't that the player targeted by Godslayer Hall? This is the first mission taken by Godslayer Hall in 'Tomorrow'! How long do you think it will take to complete?" Several players saw Meng Jingtian next to the teleportation portal and called out in surprise.
This cry drew the attention of quite a few players, and they gathered around Meng Jingtian, chattering and gesturing like he was some rare animal.
Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched. He even saw someone start taking bets on how long it would take Godslayer Hall to kill him.
A few moments later, Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes, deciding that he would take advantage of this bustling crowd to open up a stall.
He couldn't get the money while the auction was still running, but he direly needed money, so he would have to sell something in order to gather up the money for the teleportation portal as soon as he could.
Otherwise, once the players from Beacon and the other guilds got out, he would probably have to waste even more of his time messing around with them.
He was selling only one thing in his stall: 'Constitution-Boosting Potion'!
This was the recipe for a blue potion. Once a player studied it, they would be able to produce the same potion that he had helped Rupud sell, the one that could permanently boost Constitution by 5.
In the later stage of the game, this sort of potion would become rather common. After all, it was only of blue grade and gave a rather minor boost. But in the early stage of the game, it was an extremely valuable item!
While it might not help any particular individual very much, it would be of great significance to a guild.
If every member of a guild used this potion, then in a large-scale battle against opponents of the same level, just how much advantage would the guild with the potion have?
It might have only been 5 Constitution points, enough to have the guild members last for an extra two seconds, but if each person were able to use one extra skill in those extra two seconds, that could be enough to reverse the battle and decide victory!
Meng Jingtian placed the price of this recipe at one thousand gold coins, a sum that no single player in the early stage of the game could produce.
The majority of the players could only spectate, sighing in wonder at the price while growing even more curious about Meng Jingtian.
Just who was this fellow? Not only was he the first target of Godslayer Hall in this game, he had also obtained this extremely valuable recipe at such an early stage in the game. This guy had to be one of the godly players from some other game, right?
The spectators couldn't afford the recipe, but they quickly spread the word.
Soon, several people paid a visit to Meng Jingtian's stall.
"Five hundred gold coins! You know that this thing is only useful in the early stage of the game." A somewhat familiar voice caused Meng Jingtian to turn his head and spot a player impatiently pushing his way through the crowd.
This guy was haggling even before he had reached the stall.
"Oh, you didn't go to jail?" Meng Jingtian folded his arms and jeered.
This player was none other than the one who he had met at Rupud's stall, Luo Yang.
Luo Yang's face froze, and his eyes flashed with anger and apprehension. "It's you again!"
Perhaps one could call it fortune amidst disaster, but because Rupud's transformation potion had lasted for a full eight hours, he had not been able to participate in the boss hunt or the pursuit of Meng Jingtian, and thus was saved from being thrown into jail by the NPCs.
"Whose is it this time? You're not just helping an NPC again, are you? All you know is how to wipe their butts!" Luo Yang mocked.
Meng Jingtian was just about to retort when a trade screen popped up in front of him. A girl wearing a short red blouse squeezed through the crowd and crisply declared, "1000 gold coins! Sell it to me!"
Name: Chen Sisi
Level:
Race: Human Race
Talent: Divine Thought (Additional 5% Intelligence)
Starting Skills: Three Talent Sword Art, Spirit Qi Barrier, Recovery
Identity: Second Daughter of the Seaside City Lord
Meng Jingtian glanced at her information and sighed in praise. This woman and her swift decisiveness were much easier to work with than a man like Luo Yang.
"I'm sorry, but could you hurry up? I'm busy!" Chen Sisi urged, seeing that Meng Jingtian had yet to agree.
"Hey! I was here first…" Luo Yang hastily said.
"One thousand is one thousand! Sold!" Meng Jingtian was in no mood to haggle.
"Ding! Trade successful!" the system notification crisply declared. Meng Jingtian agreed to the trade and handed the recipe over to Chen Sisi.
He turned to Luo Yang and shrugged. "I'm sorry, but you were just a step too slow!"
"You! Do you know how to run a business? Don't you know what 'first come, first served' means?" Luo Yang angrily gestured at Meng Jingtian.
"But I'm playing a game, not running a business! I can sell my things to whoever I please!" Meng Jingtian sent Luo Yang a beaming smile as he pushed him aside and walked to the teleportation portal.
"Shit! Don't run if you've got the guts! Once Brother Lan and the others get out, I'd like to see how cocky you are!" Luo Yang continued to rage.
"I should just stay because you want me to stay? Wouldn't that be extremely humiliating to me? If you've got the skill, why don't you chase me to Black Tortoise City?" Meng Jingtian said without turning his head. Paying the fee of ten coins to the soldier, he entered the teleportation portal.
In a flash of white light, several virtual words appeared in front of him: 'Welcome to Black Tortoise City!'
"Little Hou, I'm in Black Tortoise City. Where are you?" Meng Jingtian looked around at this strange game city as he sent Cai Minghou a message.
Black Tortoise City was one of the four major cities of the Black Dragon Empire. It was extremely prosperous and thriving, far superior to Seaside City. The average level of the players on the street was two levels higher than Seaside City's, and their equipment was also much better.
"You're here? Then head to the Fragrant Pavilion in the city to find me! I'll wait for you!" Cai Minghou happily messaged back.
"Weren't you supposed to be in jail?" Meng Jingtian asked as he opened up his map and began to make his way toward the Fragrant Pavilion.
"Haha! Who am I? How could I be toppled so easily? You think I couldn't convince my NPC dad to let me out?" Cai Minghou smugly replied.
"But… but the mission I had to take is somewhat problematic."
"What mission?" Meng Jingtian questioned.
"Of course, it's finding the item King Pingwu entrusted to us. I have a time limit of ten days, and failure means death. All my stats will get wiped out and I'll have to reincarnate," Cai Minghou said in an intentionally relaxed manner.
"You dared to take this sort of mission? It's like you signed a do-or-die oath!" Meng Jingtian paused.
This guy has to be missing brain cells. Why didn't you just wait for me to save you?!
With the maximum Friendliness he had with NPCs, even if he had to take a mission, it would definitely be much easier. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎
"Uh… how did you know I signed a do-or-die oath to get that NPC to let me out?" Cai Minghou weakly replied.
...
Meng Jingtian was struck speechless. What could he say?
"Do you have any clues?" In the end, he could only resolve himself to help him complete the mission.
As they conversed, Meng Jingtian arrived at the Fragrant Pavilion. This restaurant seemed to be some sort of chain restaurant in the Black Dragon Empire. Seaside City also had one, though much smaller.
The waiter warmly guided him to Cai Minghou's table.
His equipment was rather decent, a set of blue armor. This seemed to be due to his status, as the equipment was the standard equipment of a mercenary company.
But his level was terrible. Because he had been locked up for so long, he was only Level 12.
Chapter 16
Assassin from Godslayer Hall
The moment they met, Meng Jingtian sent over a request to form a group, but when Cai Minghou saw Meng Jingtian, he jumped off the bench and almost lunged at him. His eyes were shining as he shouted, "Holy shit! Your weapon—am I seeing things? A divine weapon? Hurry up! Let me see!"
Thump!
Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched as he pushed him back onto the bench. "Get back! This old man isn't gay! If you keep making trouble, you can just wait here until your account gets deleted and you have to start a new character!"
"Ouch! Ow! Ow! You can't even adjust the pain level in this game! Brother Tian, I was wrong! Release me!" Cai Minghou yowled in pain.
"It's good for you to taste a little pain! Why the hell did you take such a scam of a mission?" Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes and sat next to him on the bench.
"Heheh, don't I have you, Brother Tian? Besides, the rewards for the mission are rather decent. One hundred thousand gold coins, a purple skill book, and two silver-grade adult NPC attendants. These are human-shaped treasures! And this early in the game, who else has them?" Cai Minghou chuckled.
"No matter how good the rewards are, you need the skills to get them!" Meng Jingtian glared. "Talk! What progress have you made with the mission? Do you have any clues?"
"The mission had me go and ask several NPCs for information, but even though I went to find them and did a whole bunch of missions, they still weren't willing to tell me any clues," Cai Minghou helplessly sighed.
"Ask NPCs for information? Take me to them!" Meng Jingtian said to Cai Minghou, immediately standing up.
"No, Brother, even if you go, what use will it be? I see that your equipment isn't bad and your level is high, so why don't we go find my in-game big brother and beat him up? We'll directly ask him what's going on!" Cai Minghou proposed. His brain was running rather quickly now.
"Fine! Take me to him!" Meng Jingtian also found the idea pretty good. After all, virtual online games weren't like traditional ones, where the mission markers had to be followed step by step.
In current virtual online games, everything was possible. All events in the game could be influenced and altered by players.
As long as one could reach the ultimate goal of the mission, it didn't matter if one followed the mission markers. One could complete the mission all the same.
"Uh… it's no good. I was locked up for the entire night, so I don't know where that scoundrel went." Cai Minghou immediately dumped cold water on the idea and shook his head.
"Then why don't you just take me to see those NPCs?" Meng Jingtian said, somewhat at a loss.
"It's no good, Brother Tian, unless you plan to beat up those NPCs? I really asked them already. Why don't we try to think of another solution?" Cai Minghou reluctantly took Meng Jingtian to find those NPCs, though he still couldn't help but try to persuade him otherwise.
Meng Jingtian didn't reply. He couldn't beat up the NPCs, but he also didn't need to. 𝒷ℯ𝒹𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶
The closest mission NPC was the waiter of Fragrant Pavilion.
"Excuse me. Have you heard about the matter concerning the Second Young Master of the Golden Goose Mercenary Company?" Meng Jingtian asked, not directly mentioning the mission.
"I have, I have!" The waiter nodded, and then he whispered, "I've even heard that the Second Young Master stole the item King Pingwu entrusted to the Golden Goose Company. I heard with my own ears the First Young Master of the Golden Goose Mercenary Company talking with some bandit boss. They were discussing the item in question in the private room of our restaurant!"
"No way! Holy shit…" Cai Minghou's eyes flew open in disbelief.
But why? He had run around completing missions for this waiter and had only received a few ambiguous answers.
But Meng Jingtian had just asked a casual question and the waiter had immediately told him everything!
"The third mission clue has been collected," Cai Minghou said to Meng Jingtian, a strange look on his face.
"Isn't this very easy? Come on! Next one!" Meng Jingtian nodded and walked out of the restaurant.
"Wait, Brother Tian! What sort of item did you use? Why is it that the NPC refused to tell me anything but was so open with you? You must have a secret item!" Cai Minghou ran after him, extremely confused.
"Right! This item is called good looks! Didn't you know that handsome people get a buff to their Charm stat when they enter the game?" Meng Jingtian sternly said, placing a hand under his chin.
"Screw you! If that's true, then that NPC shouldn't have even let you in the restaurant!" Cai Minghou joked, the corner of his mouth twitching.
The mission went very smoothly. Meng Jingtian simply stood there and the NPCs told him everything.
Meng Jingtian even managed to receive and complete two minor hidden missions.
"Brother Tian! Just tell me! Are you actually the son of the United Nations President? Is this game really your second home?" After this experience, Cai Minghou couldn't help himself, holding Meng Jingtian by the neck as he interrogated him.
The difference in treatment was just too vast!
Cai Minghou recalled how he had been ordered around by these NPCs, and tears welled up in his eyes!
Meng Jingtian was the only one playing the game! He, on the other hand, had been played by the game!
The two quarreled and teased each other as they headed toward the residence of the NPC with the last clue.
At this moment, an unremarkable player who had just been brushing shoulders with them suddenly attacked Meng Jingtian.
"-999" "-999" "-999" A series of red numbers rose, frightening Meng Jingtian out of his wits.
It was clearly three attacks, but this player had moved so quickly that it seemed like they had all been made at once, and each attack had dealt significant damage.
As the fourth strike was about to land, Meng Jingtian saw that he had only one-third of his HP left. At this precarious moment, Meng Jingtian hurriedly used Divine Recovery.
At almost the same time, the player's dagger stabbed Meng Jingtian, and a "-1433" popped up.
Fortunately, Meng Jingtian's Divine Recovery had healed him fully, saving him from death.
"-999"
"-6999"
Two numbers popped up from the two of them, and that player who had ambushed Meng Jingtian was instantly sent back to the spawn point. Meanwhile, Meng Jingtian used Divine Recovery to heal himself back to full health.
Fortunately, this was the early stage of the game, so the player didn't have a high critical chance. Otherwise, Meng Jingtian could have instantly died.
"An assassin from Godslayer Hall!" Cai Minghou cried out in alarm, finally realizing what was going on.
There had been zero time for him to react.
Had that battle been two seconds? Not even that!
Meng Jingtian gravely said, "That's right!"
The other player had been very strong, and there had been barely any pause between his skills. If not for his overwhelming advantage in stats, Meng Jingtian would have been instantly killed.
As expected, Godslayer Hall was just as powerful as usual. It seemed that he needed to be careful!
Godslayer Hall wouldn't rest until it had reached its goal. This was only the first assassin. There was a high chance that he would run into even more assassins, and they could appear at any time from any place.
At this time, the Godslayer Hall assassin that Meng Jingtian had sent back to the spawn point was also rather dumbstruck.
One skill to instantly kill? Jesus! Who the hell is the assassin here?
...
And that God Forsaken debuff left him even more conflicted.
"An Earth Level player at the minimum!" A few moments later, the assassin sent a message to another player.
Within Godslayer Hall, targeted players were classified into different levels.
Heaven Level: Master players with top-class equipment and the best skills.
Earth Level: Players with top-class equipment and superb skills.
Black Level: Players with superb equipment and superb skills.
Yellow Level: Players with superb equipment and ordinary skills.
No level: Ordinary players.
Chapter 17
Group Mission
"So… what do we do now? Continue the mission? Or…" Cai Minghou had been left somewhat at a loss by the ambush, and he looked anxiously at Meng Jingtian.
The power of Godslayer Hall was enough to make the majority of players pale in fear.
"It's fine. The next assassin shouldn't appear so soon. Let's continue with the mission!" Meng Jingtian's heart was also pumping a little faster. After all, the attack just now had been far too fast.
But he quickly managed to calm himself down and soothe Cai Minghou.
He couldn't log off for a few days just to avoid assassination from Godslayer Hall. If he really did that, Godslayer Hall would probably be ecstatic. In the early stages of the game, a few days was enough to create a huge gap.
"Brother Tian, how did you manage to piss off Godslayer Hall this time?" Cai Minghou asked as he led the way to the final NPC with a clue. The question of Godslayer Hall was no longer one that could be avoided.
"It's probably because of Tian Xuance. Right after I entered the game, I ended up killing him twice," Meng Jingtian casually replied with a shrug.
"Tian Xuance?" Cai Minghou murmured in shock. With a bitter smile, he said, "Brother Tian, oh Brother Tian, it's not like you don't understand that it's better to provoke a gentleman than a petty man."
"Then you should also know that I'm not someone who offends others, but what can I do if he tries to provoke me?" Meng Jingtian said, spreading apart his arms.
As they chatted, they gradually calmed down and went to the final NPC.
This was a night watchman, and from this night watchman, they learned the identity of the bandit boss the First Young Master of the Golden Goose Mercenary Company had colluded with.
The big boss of Cool Breeze Camp, 'Howling Mountain Tiger'!
Cai Minghou turned Meng Jingtian and told him, "The mission has been updated! Let's go over to Cool Breeze Camp and take back King Pingwu's jeweled belt!"
"Then what are we waiting for?" Meng Jingtian was ready to leave the city with Cai Minghou.
But Cai Minghou's expression turned strange as he bitterly smiled. "It's a ten-man group mission, so it's probably not that easy."
"A group mission? What's the reward?" Meng Jingtian couldn't help but ask. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
"Ten thousand gold coins, a random piece of purple equipment and one level," Cai Minghou read out.
"The rewards aren't bad! I'll give you the lead, so gather a group!" Meng Jingtian raised an eyebrow and passed the lead over to Cai Minghou.
The only two pieces of decent equipment he had were Stupa and the Forgotten Ring. The rest of his equipment was low-grade equipment he had received from completing missions in Seaside City. For him, this mission's rewards were pretty good.
With this mission, his time investment could be considered fruitful.
'Bandit Suppression: Outside Black Tortoise City, on Qingming Mountain, is a den of mountain bandits that rob passersby and even take their lives. Now, they have colluded with the First Young Master of the Golden Goose Mercenary Company to steal the item King Pingwu had entrusted to Golden Goose. The Second Young Master of the Golden Goose Company is gathering brave and righteous souls to pacify these bandits!
'Mission Target: Escort the Second Young Master of the Golden Goose Company to Cool Breeze Camp, pacify the bandits, and take back King Pingwu's treasure!
'Mission Reward: Ten thousand gold coins, a random piece of purple equipment, Level + 1.'
Cai Minghou posted the mission info on Black Tortoise City's city chat channel and began to gather a group.
In the early stages of the game, a purple piece of equipment was very rare and was enough to draw a large number of people.
It took only a little while for Cai Minghou to gather his party of ten.
"Gather at the gate of Black Tortoise City!" Cai Minghou shouted in the group channel.
A player called Zhou Han noticed Cai Minghou's level and complained, "Only Level 12? Where's the group leader? How did such a low level get into this group?"
"Sorry, this old man is the group leader!" Cai Minghou replied, the corner of his mouth twitching.
Only now did Zhou Han realize that Cai Minghou really did have the group leader symbol after his name, and he awkwardly fell silent.
But he clearly had a rather thick skin. A little while later, as if nothing had happened, he said in the group chat, "Group leader, relax! You can depend on me for this mission!"
"Who the hell asked you along for the mission? Where'd this weirdo come from?" Cai Minghou muttered to himself as he kicked the guy out of the group.
"This temper of yours! There's really no changing it!" Cai Minghou had kicked out a player over a very small slight, at which Meng Jingtian could only bitterly smile.
"Of course. I can't accept this sort of injustice. If that First Young Master of the Golden Goose Company hadn't also been a player who had me shut up in a little black room, would my level have been this low?" Cai Minghou replied without a hint of regret.
Meng Jingtian knew of his temperament and said no more. He simply took out the Tsunami Trident the Boar King had dropped and gave it to him.
"Wait, Brother Tian, what's this?" Cai Minghou raised his head in shock.
"You know that I have a divine weapon, and 'Tomorrow' doesn't let you equip two weapons." Meng Jingtian patted Stupa on his back and smiled.
"…" After a few moments of silence, Cai Minghou accepted the trade. Rather than expressing his thanks with empty words, he silently noted this show of friendship in his heart.
Then he teased, "Brother Tian, you're so generous! Gifting a purple weapon for a meeting—if I were a girl, I'd definitely marry you!"
"Screw you! Who the hell would take the hand of a woman who looked like you?" Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes, and the two of them continued to joke with each other as they made their way to the city gate.
Four or five members of the group had already arrived, and when they spotted the two of them, they called out.
"Oh my god! It's Meng Jingtian! I didn't realize you were in this group!" a player called Cheng Xiaojin sighed in wonder.
"Here, here, here! Boss, give me an autograph!" Cheng Xiaojin rushed over and barraged Meng Jingtian with questions. "Might I ask if Boss Meng played 'Grand Desolation' before? What was your ID? Aren't you afraid of being ambushed by Godslayer Hall assassins after leaving the city?"
"It seems you missed out on your true calling as a reporter!" Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched as he glanced at Cheng Xiaojin.
"Godslayer Hall's nothing! An assassin of Godslayer Hall already made his move in the city, but his skills were lacking, and my Brother Tian needed just one skill to send him back to spawn!" Although Cai Minghou had been badly frightened at the time, he now bragged disdainfully about the encounter.
He was so proud that it almost seemed like he had been the one to deal the killing blow.
Cheng Xiaojin's face froze as he suspiciously asked, "Is that true?"
"It's true. Godslayer Hall has already updated its progress on the forum," said another player in the group called Mo Hongyi, her eyes flashing as if she had just come back to the game after reading the forums.
"In addition, you might not have noticed, but Meng Jingtian isn't just the Godslayer Hall's first target in 'Tomorrow', but also the first player that they have ranked!"
Mo Hongyi wore a red robe bound by a clean cord of violet silk. She had black eyebrows and bright eyes, appearing like a female warrior who had stepped straight out of a wuxia novel.
At this moment, she walked over, placed a hand on Meng Jingtian's shoulder, and then leaned over, her crimson lips parting as she asked, "Seven-foot-sword Immortal?"
"No!" Meng Jingtian's lips formed a faint smile as he shook his head.
"You can't be the Wandering Drunken Scholar, right?" Mo Hongyi frowned as she continued to speculate.
"Stop guessing! It's none of them!" Meng Jingtian brushed off Mo Hongyi's hand and smiled.
...
Chapter 18
Guessing at Identity
Mo Hongyi's guesses so far had been godly players from 'Grand Desolation'.
Seven-foot-sword Immortal had been the guild master of the number one guild 'All Under Heaven'. He possessed extraordinary strength that definitely could have earned him a place in the top ten.
As for Wandering Drunken Scholar, he had been acknowledged as the most mysterious and individually strongest player in 'Grand Desolation'.
No one had ever known his whereabouts, nor did they know what skills he had. All that was known was that in the only tournament he had entered, the 'Sage's Veneration' tournament, he had entered the finals with a perfect record and had defeated his opponent in one minute.
Mo Hongyi's guesses were all the best of the best players, and while Meng Jingtian could also have been considered a 'godly player' in the game he had played before, he was far from the level of players that Mo Hongyi was guessing.
"Doesn't that make this first mission of Godslayer Hall's even more interesting?" Cheng Xiaojin's eyes brightened as he proposed, "Why don't we make a bet? Let's see if Godslayer Hall's first mission in 'Tomorrow' will fail or not!"
"Count me in! I'm betting that Godslayer Hall has picked the wrong target this time. It will definitely fail!" Cai Minghou almost instantly replied.
Meng Jingtian slapped his forehead and bitterly smiled. Bai Wensheng had essentially made him famous.
"Enough! Everyone's here, so stop making trouble! Let's go and do the mission!" The last member finally arrived, so Meng Jingtian silenced these potential gamblers.
"Fine, fine, fine! Everyone is listening to you, boss! As the number one on the rankings, isn't this mission just a little trifle to you?" Cheng Xiaojin seemed to have taken to heart Cai Minghou's praise, and his eyes seemed to be glowing as he stared at Meng Jingtian.
"It can't be considered a little trifle. A medium trifle, maybe!" Meng Jingtian joked.
It was just a game, though. If one really believed in the fawning praise of others, then one had fallen too deep into the game and would face a total loss.
With two clowns in the party, the mood was rather light, and the group soon arrived at Cool Breeze Camp. bed𝚗o𝚟𝚎𝚕.𝚌𝚘m
Cool Breeze Camp Sentry Bandit (Lvl. 25):
HP: 1300
Skills: Cross Cut, Vertical Slash, Autumn Winds Sweeping Leaves
Several bandits wearing black clothes wandered in front of the camp. Although they were just human-shaped monsters, they still had 80+ Friendliness to Meng Jingtian and would not attack him—though he didn't know what would happen once he started attacking them.
"Holy shit! No way? The mobs are all Level 25. What sort of screwed-up mission is this?" Cheng Xiaojin was immediately scared away by the stats on the mobs and didn't dare to recklessly charge forward.
"One mob already has one hundred and thirty thousand HP. Are you sure that this is a mission we can do?" Mo Hongyi asked Meng Jingtian grimly.
"We can do this! We have so many people!" Meng Jingtian firmly nodded and then asked, "Do we have a tank?"
There was nothing to be done. They had to do this mission no matter what, or else Cai Minghou would have to delete his account and start a new one.
"Me…" Cheng Xiaojin quietly raised a hand and uneasily asked, "Boss Meng, are you really sure about this?"
"Of course!" Meng Jingtian confidently declared. "If you can't tank it, I'll compensate you with a purple equipment. Is that good with you?"
"Really? Then I'm going!" Hearing this, Cheng Xiaojin excitedly charged forward.
With these words from Meng Jingtian, what did he have to hesitate about? All of his current equipment added together couldn't pay for a single purple equipment. This deal was way too good for him!
"This fool!" Helpless, Mo Hongyi could only follow.
Meng Jingtian pulled back the enthusiastic Cai Minghou and teased, "Second Young Master, you just wait here!"
"Why?" Cai Minghou was somewhat unwilling. He wanted to test out the Tsunami Trident Meng Jingtian had just given him!
"Who told you to be only Level 12? What if a mob wipes you in a single skill? You're the core member of this mission!" Meng Jingtian said, narrowing his eyes.
"I get it! I'd better not run into that scoundrel who locked me up in that little room, or else I'll hack at him one hundred times!" Cai Minghou unwillingly said, the corner of his mouth twitching.
Meng Jingtian chuckled, but he soon heard Cheng Xiaojin's cry for help. "The damage is so high! Holy shit! Holy shit! I can't hold!"
He immediately disregarded Cai Minghou and used Divine Recovery on Cheng Xiaojin.
"Eh? Full HP? What's going on?" A startled Cheng Xiaojin stared at his suddenly full HP bar in disbelief.
"Boss Meng! Are… are you a healer?" Cheng Xiaojin cried out in shock as he flipped through the combat log.
"
I'll heal your grandmother!
" Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes and used a Divine Punishment on a mob.
"-15000" The defense of a mob was far weaker than a player's, and Meng Jingtian's skill instantly sliced a large chunk of HP off the mob, which had already been ground down to half health.
"Holy… This damage!" Cheng Xiaojin was rendered speechless. So Meng Jingtian probably just couldn't tank, right? Or why else would he need all these other group members?!
There were only a few bandit sentries, and after a few minutes, they were all wiped out. They dropped two blue equipment items, one of them being a head accessory.
Meng Jingtian had no interest in blue equipment, so he let the rest of the group roll for it.
"Just who are you, to reach this level in the game so early? Wind Weeper?" Mo Hongyi was still set on guessing at Meng Jingtian's 'true identity'.
"I already said that I wasn't any of them. Why don't I try and guess who you are instead?" Meng Jingtian replied as he continued forward.
"The Sanguine Lady of the Thirteen Flowers of the Ode to Beauty guild?"
Mo Hongyi paused, a look of shock in her eyes. No way! How had he guessed it?!
"Really? I got it?" Meng Jingtian was also taken aback by this reaction.
And then he laughed.
In truth, there was nothing too surprising about it. Although the Sanguine Lady wasn't that famous, not a top-class player like Seven-foot-sword Immortal or the Wandering Drunken Scholar, Meng Jingtian had once interacted with her in 'Grand Desolation'.
The thought of it made him squint and mentally sigh.
In truth, this was also due to that woman, his former 'wife' in 'Grand Desolation'.
She had also been a member of the Ode to Beauty guild's Thirteen Flowers, the 'White Lady'.
"No way! You're going to tell me who you are today! How were you able to guess it in one try? That's unfair!" Mo Hongyi ran up ahead and spread out her arms to block Meng Jingtian's path.
"Are you throwing a tantrum? If you are, I might consider it. I've never even heard of the Sanguine Lady throwing a tantrum for a man before!" Meng Jingtian folded his arms and laughed.
"I… Screw you!" After a moment of shock, Mo Hongyi gnashed her teeth and glared at Meng Jingtian. "You're not this or that, or anything! In my view, you just got really lucky to reach number one, and the Godslayer Hall will punish you eventually!"
...
Chapter 19
I Have a Special Skill for Pulling Monsters (I)
Meng Jingtian wasn't annoyed to hear this. Giggling, he confessed, "You guessed right! It's exactly because my luck was good!"
Mo Hongyi was speechless. This rascal was a lost cause!
All she could do was angrily storm away and refuse to respond.
"I say, can the two of you stop flirting? Hurry and kill these monsters!" Cheng Xiaojin stopped and pointed ahead.
"So many!" The other group members stared in shock at the number of bandits wandering the camp.
After climbing up a stone staircase built by the bandits, they had arrived in front of Cool Breeze Camp, and the number of bandits left them fearful.
The sight of all those mobs with red names drained them of their courage. Just taking down the sentries had taken some effort. If all these mobs attacked them at once, Cheng Xiaojin would instantly be wiped out.
Meng Jingtian stood in front of the camp for a few moments before making a baffling statement. "Don't fight! I'll go in and take a look, see if I can't pull out the boss!"
"How are you getting in? There's a mob every three steps! Won't you get attacked by all of them the moment you step through the gate?" one of the group members questioned.
The group members were all rather confident in Meng Jingtian's strength after he took care of those two sentries, but his words were still unbelievable. It was a complete fairytale!
"That's right! And won't a boss have an even higher Attack? You'll be dead in one or two hits, and you still need to get past all the mobs. How will you pull him? Don't tell me that you can tank as well as heal!" Cheng Xiaojin said with a strange look at Meng Jingtian.
"Everyone, just trust in Brother Tian this once. In any case, it's not like you're the one going! Everything is possible with our Brother Tian!" Although Cai Minghou had also been shocked to hear Meng Jingtian make this proposal at first, once he regained his senses, he chose without hesitation to speak up for him.
"The problem is that this just isn't possible, okay?" one of the group members shot back.
"Just wait and see!" Ignoring their argument, Meng Jingtian strode into the camp.
"Hey… is this guy an idiot?" a surprised Mo Hongyi whispered. She had reached out to stop him, even called out, but in the end, she decided to drop the matter.
But for some reason, even though she was so sure that Meng Jingtian would be instantly killed the moment he walked into the camp, why did she feel a slight hint of anticipation?
The other group members could only watch as Meng Jingtian walked into the camp.
"Holy shit!" Even when Meng Jingtian walked into the center of the camp, that pile of bandits never attacked him, causing the group members to cry out in unison.
"What's going on? Can those bandits not see him?"
"A stealth skill?"
"No! Look at that elite mob! That elite mob is actually talking with him!" 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
The nine other group members excitedly chattered as they waited outside the camp.
"What conversation? Look closely! Oh my god! That elite bandit is clearly guiding him!" Cheng Xiaojin slapped his forehead, not daring to believe his eyes.
The other group members fell into disarray, beginning to wonder if they were dreaming. Why was a mob with a red name talking to a player? Was Meng Jingtian playing the same game they were?
As his group members were beginning to doubt themselves, Meng Jingtian was led by this elite bandit to the mountain camp's conference hall.
Seated at the head of the long conference table was a muscular man with a thick beard, his body exuding a fierce energy.
Meng Jingtian threw over a Divine Examination and confirmed that this was their mission target: the boss of Cool Breeze Camp, Ma Fangxing.
Ma Fangxing (Silver Boss): The boss of Cool Breeze Camp. Once a minor general serving the Black Dragon Empire on the frontier, he made a miscalculation in battle. As he was the sole survivor and had been branded with the crime of desertion, he had no other choice but to become a bandit.
Level:
HP: 5000
Skills: Horse Cleaver, Sky Breaker, Chaotic Saber Art…
Ma Fangxing's Friendliness to Meng Jingtian was at 65, and when he saw Meng Jingtian, he froze, and then he respectfully bowed.
Next to Ma Fangxing was a player. The two of them had apparently been discussing something.
Name: Long Yuqian
Level:
Race: Human Race
Talent: Vigorous (Additional 5% Agility)
Starting Skills: Cloud-Reaching Archery, Strength Boost, Recovery
Identity: First Young Master of the Golden Goose Mercenary Company
Meng Jingtian narrowed his eyes. This was the player who had framed Little Hou?
Long Yuqian was shocked to see Meng Jingtian swagger in, and he looked confusedly at Ma Fangxing.
It was only because he had received a hidden mission that he was able to sit here safe and sound.
"I have something to speak about with Boss Ma. You…" Meng Jingtian was much more straightforward, speaking to Long Yuqian.
"You should go back to spawn!"
"Who the hell are you? So cocky?" The corner of Long Yuqian's mouth twitched as he glared at Meng Jingtian.
This guy was looking down on him too much!
"Cocky?" Meng Jingtian faintly smiled. "When you're strong enough, what seems like 'cocky' in the eyes of others is just normal!"
He used Divine Punishment on Long Yuqian. This guy had locked Cai Minghou up for an entire day and was an enemy. Was there anything that they needed to say to each other?
"Great God!" Ma Fangxing began to rise from his seat, trying to stop him.
Long Yuqian also immediately tried to dodge, but the white lightning bolt followed him like a guided missile and swerved before crashing onto his head.
"-7222"
With one skill, Long Yuqian was wiped out.
"'Great God'? Who the hell was that guy?" At the spawn point, Long Yuqian muttered to himself, a strange expression on his face. He was sure that he heard that NPC call that player 'Great God' right before he died!
"Ding! Ma Fangxing's Friendliness – 5, Awe + 5."
...
The notification Meng Jingtian received took him by surprise. So there was also something called Awe!
"Boss Ma, yes?" Meng Jingtian looked at Ma Fangxing and smiled. "It's like this. When this god was traveling by Dawn Moon Lake, he accidentally dropped his divine weapon inside. This god does not like water very much, but then he saw this camp of yours. Please come and help me fish up my lost item."
Ma Fangxing's mouth twitched, but he did not dare to question a god like Meng Jingtian. He could only say, "I do not dare to defy a divine edict. This lowly person will gather my brothers and help you fish up your item."
"There's no need! You alone is enough, since Dawn Moon Lake isn't big. In any case, if you came over with a pack of people, wouldn't everyone know about this god's mistake?"
Of course, Meng Jingtian hastily refused. At the same time, he sent Cai Minghou a message telling him to take the group to Dawn Moon Lake. They needed to be away from the camp so as to prevent Ma Fangxing from calling over his 'brothers'.
A hint of hesitation appeared in Ma Fangxing's eyes. Even though he was only a silver boss, he was rather intelligent and found this request very fishy.
Chapter 20
I Have a Special Skill for Pulling Monsters (II)
Seeing the hesitation, Meng Jingtian feigned displeasure. "Does Boss Ma think of this god as only a minor god? Are you unwilling to assist?"
"No! Great God is taking this too seriously!" Ma Fangxing hastily waved his hands. "This lowly one will follow Great God and assist you with fishing up your item!"
"Then let's go!" Meng Jingtian calmly nodded, and then he turned around and began to walk out of the camp with Ma Fangxing.
Upon going past the gate, he saw that Cai Minghou and the others had received his message and left the camp. Meng Jingtian checked the game map for their location and then began to lead Ma Fangxing over.
On a small road to Dawn Moon Lake, the group members impatiently waited, squabbling as they did.
"Even if he managed to safely enter the camp, how could he pull the boss all the way here?"
"That's right? How can that be? And he has to get past all those mobs in the camp."
"It's fine if he can't do it, but can he not make trouble and waste our time? This mission is impossible to complete!"
Cai Minghou had been trying to calm them down at first, but he was fed up now. Swinging his hand, he brusquely declared, "You can leave if you want! At most, I'll just have to find someone else. All of you know how valuable purple equipment is so early in the game. How could this mission be easy?
"I'm sure there's someone else willing to waste a day with me for the sake of a piece of purple equipment!"
Hearing this, those group members who had been growing extremely impatient and talking about giving up stopped talking, and they didn't leave the group either.
While they had grumbled a lot, they all knew that Cai Minghou was right. If they didn't want this mission, there would be plenty of people to take their place.
Moreover, since they had seen Meng Jingtian safely enter the camp, it was not completely impossible for them to complete the mission.
"Just keep your mouths shut! Meng Jingtian is at the top of the level rankings, and it's not like he could have gotten that level by dying or waiting around. If he's not afraid, why should we be?" Mo Hongyi said, her arms folded. She rolled her eyes, sick of this argument.
"Look there!" Cheng Xiaojin suddenly howled, giving everyone a fright.
"Big Bro Meng really did pull out the boss!"
"Hold on; why is that boss following him, not fighting him?" a group member asked in confusion, his face stiff.
"Why are you worried about that? Get ready to attack!" Cheng Xiaojin roared and then charged at Ma Fangxing.
Ma Fangxing saw this, pulled out his saber, and slashed at Cheng Xiaojin.
"Great God, you…" Ma Fangxing saw that these players had been waiting for him, and he angrily glared at Meng Jingtian in realization.
Meng Jingtian was unperturbed, showing not the slightest shame. On the contrary, exuding majesty, he righteously bellowed, "Ma Fangxing, you led bandits in thievery, brigandry, and many other kinds of wicked deeds. Do you know your wrongs!? Today, this god will root out evil for the heavens!"
"Brother Tian, when did you start suffering from middle-schooler syndrome?" Cai Minghou teased, the corner of his mouth twitching.
"You don't get it! I'm debuffing the boss!" Meng Jingtian replied.
Little did he know that his words would become reality.
A system notification rang out: "Ding! Ma Fangxing's Friendliness – 20, Awe + 20!"
"Ding! Divine Might activated! Ma Fangxing is intimidated by the god's righteous aura! Attack – 5%!"
"That worked?" Meng Jingtian was speechless, but he soon joined the beatdown on the boss.
Under the concerted attack of the group, Ma Fangxing's HP slowly decreased. With Meng Jingtian's Divine Recovery around, the group had a large leeway for error. Although Cheng Xiaojin's HP bar was frequently at a worrying level after eating several of the boss's skills, a single Divine Recovery from Meng Jingtian was enough to heal him back up.
If not for the fact that Meng Jingtian's DPS was even more frightening than his healing, Cheng Xiaojin might have called him a divine healer and requested him to be his personal healer!
As for if the other group members accidentally ate a skill, they could just die! All they needed to do was return to the battle after they respawned.
Anyway, it was only Cheng Xiaojin who could tank. The other group members existed only to reduce the time it took to kill the boss, adding extra heals or DPS. He could go with or without them.
Mo Hongyi's nearly full HP bar quickly dropped by two-thirds, causing her to call out in alarm, "Shit! Xiaojin, aggro properly! Why is the boss hitting me?!"
"Your DPS is too high! All I have is this one starting skill that can taunt! Do you think it doesn't have a cooldown?" Cheng Xiaojin helplessly said.
Meng Jingtian sent out a Divine Recovery to heal Mo Hongyi back up and then fired off a Divine Punishment at Ma Fangxing.
"-10760"
The corner of Mo Hongyi's mouth twitched. "Hold on! Isn't this guy's DPS way higher? Why is the boss not hitting him?"
"Haha! Lady, don't try and compare yourself to my Brother Tian! See that weapon in his hand? A divine weapon!" Due to his low level, Cai Minghou could only hide on the sidelines. As he was rather bored, he decided to strike up a conversation.
"An idler like you should shut your mouth!" Mo Hongyi rolled her eyes, adding, "And also, don't call me 'Lady'!"
"Aren't you the Sanguine Lady? I'm just shortening it, shortening!" Cai Minghou naughtily smiled.
Meng Jingtian glanced at Mo Hongyi and said, "Done chatting? Why not fight? Relax; you won't die!"
He then coldly smiled at Cai Minghou and threatened, "Sit your ass down and be quiet. If you keep chattering, I'll have to conclude that you don't want to do this mission anymore!"
"Eeeeh? Brother Tian, are you jealous? You can't be interested in this girl, right? The people from Ode to Beauty… you don't want to jump into the same hole twice, do you?" Cai Minghou warned, a hint of shock in his eyes.
"Mm?" Meng Jingtian turned and coldly glared at Cai Minghou. 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦
"Shutting my mouth! Shutting my mouth now!" Cai Minghou took fright, knowing that Meng Jingtian was pissed off, and immediately covered his mouth.
Mo Hongyi's eyes flashed. 'Jump into the same hole twice'? What did that mean?
Who was this person? Was he someone who had once had a relationship with Ode to Beauty?
"Dodge the skill!" The boss, who only had 10% HP left, swung his saber in a circle. A blood-red saber qi swept out, and Meng Jingtian was forced to push aside Mo Hongyi, who had been standing around with a dazed look on her face. "The boss has already used this skill three times. What are you just standing around for?" he unhappily remarked.
Mo Hongyi came back to her senses. She knew that her lack of focus had caused her to make a low-level mistake and instinctively apologized, "Sorry!"
"What are you apologizing to me for? It's not like I was the one who would have died to that skill," Meng Jingtian pouted.
The boss only had 10% HP left. He didn't want Mo Hongyi to waste time by dying and running back!
In any case, this girl was second in DPS, and they could get this over with faster if she didn't die.
Mo Hongyi's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but inwardly grumble. Was there something wrong with Cai Minghou's eyes, that he thought this guy was interested in her?
Could this guy be any colder?
...
Chapter 21
Auctioning Equipment
"Aaaaah!" With a miserable scream, Ma Fangxing disappeared in a ball of multicolored light, leaving only dropped equipment and materials on the ground.
It was only at times like these that it was possible to tell that this was all a game.
"Here, the mission item!" Meng Jingtian walked over and collected all the items. In these, he found the purple mission item and threw it over to Cai Minghou.
"Ding! Mission complete! You have obtained 10000 gold coins!
"You have obtained Black Tortoise Armor (Purple)!"
Meng Jingtian and all the other group members heard the mission completion notification, at the same time receiving the mission rewards.
With the one level's worth of experience from completing the group mission and the experience for defeating Ma Fangxing, Meng Jingtian instantly rose two levels to Level 26.
But when he took a look at the level rankings, he realized to his shock that second-place Nangong Qi had managed to catch up and now shared rank one with him!
Even if he didn't intentionally think about it, Meng Jingtian still couldn't help but care about it a little. After all, it was rank one.
At this point, he couldn't help but mentally remark that the status of a member of the imperial household really was a huge advantage for Nangong Qi. It seemed that he would have to start grinding!
The other group members were immersed in the excitement of a purple item and swiftly put it on.
After that, they turned hesitantly toward Meng Jingtian.
He had picked up all the items dropped by Ma Fangxing. Since they had all contributed, he needed to split the spoils, right?
But given Meng Jingtian's strength, they did not dare to voice this proposal.
But Mo Hongyi was much more straightforward, asking, "How do you plan to handle the items dropped by the boss?"
"I'll auction it!" Meng Jingtian didn't plan to take everything for himself. It was just a silver boss, and it wasn't worth ruining his reputation for a few pieces of equipment.
"Tiger-Cleaving Saber (Purple): The saber frequently used by the boss of Cool Breeze Camp, Ma Fangxing. Very powerful.
Stats: Attack + 450, Critical Hit + 5%
Passive: When attacking, applies an additional 5% of Attack as Wind Element damage."
Meng Jingtian posted the description for the first item in the group chat and let them post their bids.
"A purple weapon! Our luck isn't bad!" Cheng Xiaojin's eyes brightened as he made his bid: "Five thousand gold coins!"
"You don't have any use for it. This item is for DPS, and it doesn't even have anything to draw aggro." Mo Hongyi rolled her eyes and made her own bid: "Ten thousand!"
"Heeeey! Speak clearly! What do you mean by 'I don't have a use for it'? This game has a wuxia setting, right? Who made it a law that I could only tank? I can also slash people, okay?" Cheng Xiaojin grumbled.
"Fine, fine, fine! Go on, then—make a bid!" Mo Hongyi confidently said, smiling as she extended a hand.
The corner of Cheng Xiaojin's mouth twitched. Mo Hongyi had added five thousand to his original bid, and he was just an ordinary unaffiliated player. His wealth couldn't compare to Mo Hongyi's.
"The highest bidder gets it. Is there anyone else?" Meng Jingtian looked around and smiled, showing no signs of intervening.
The other players glanced at each other. Their eyes clearly showed a desire for the Tiger-Cleaving Saber. At this stage in the game, a purple weapon was the sign of an expert player.
Although they knew that they didn't have the strength of a godly player, it would be fine if they could get this weapon and act like one for at least the early stage of the game!
Moreover, if they got this purple weapon, they might be able to smoothly progress in this game, and perhaps they really could step into the ranks of the gods?
But that price truly was frightening!
"Eleven thousand!" a player finally bid.
"Fifteen thousand!" Mo Hongyi almost instantly shot back.
Meng Jingtian couldn't help but glance at her in surprise. She was only one of the thirteen administrators of Ode to Beauty. He hadn't expected her to be so rich!
"What are you looking at? I can make blue items, and I got all this money from selling them!" Mo Hongyi noticed his gaze and rolled her eyes. But in her movements, she subconsciously exuded an allure that entranced even Cheng Xiaojin and Cai Minghou.
But Meng Jingtian's eyes dimmed. He couldn't help but think of his 'ex-wife'. It was true. He would not jump into the same hole twice. 𝑏𝘦𝑑𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"Twenty thousand!" A bright light appeared in another group member's eyes. Learning from Mo Hongyi, he had added five thousand, leaving everyone astonished.
After all, he had been one of those who hadn't even dared to make a bid. When did he become so liberal?
Mo Hongyi might have had money, but she was no fool. Even crafting equipment to sell had costs!
She was a veteran player and had run into every kind of situation. She immediately sensed that something was off and speculated that this player was trying to raise the price.
Thus, she questioned, "Twenty thousand is no small number. First, prove that you even have this money!"
"Let's see it!" Meng Jingtian naturally realized that there was a problem as well and swiftly turned to the player.
"No, no way! Why is it that she can say 'ten thousand' and 'fifteen thousand' without sending anything, while I have to show proof as soon as I make a bid?" The player panicked, and he refused to post how much money he had.
"Gold Coins: 153750; Silver Coins: 15; Copper Coins: 99"
Without a word, Mo Hongyi silently posted how much money she had in the group chat.
This info was directly posted from the game's system and could not be faked, and it rendered the player speechless.
Meng Jingtian looked at him and indicated that it was his turn now.
When that player pretended not to see, Meng Jingtian coldly threatened him, "I'll give you ten seconds. If you don't send it now, I'll mark you as maliciously raising the price. I am sure that everyone here hates this sort of person, right?"
"And what will you do if I won't?" This player didn't have that much gold, so how could he dare to divulge this information? In the face of Meng Jingtian's threat, he could only stubbornly refuse.
"Little Hou!" Meng Jingtian turned to Cai Minghou and yelled.
As a friend of many years, Cai Minghou shared a tacit understanding with Meng Jingtian, so he immediately kicked that player out of the group.
Without the slightest hesitation, Meng Jingtian used a Divine Punishment on this player called Chen Sicheng.
A guy with this personality had the audacity to have the name 'Sicheng'!
A waste of a name!
Chen Sicheng cried out in fear. As they had fought the boss together, he was keenly aware of Divine Punishment's power.
...
But what did it matter if he knew? Looking through his skills, he found nothing that could save him, and he was instantly sent back to the spawn point by Meng Jingtian.
"Fifteen thousand. The auction continues. Are there any other bids?" Acting as if nothing had happened, Meng Jingtian continued to preside over the auction.
Chapter 22
Going Grinding
The remaining group members were cowed into silence. They quietly typed 'p' into chat, indicating that they had given up.
Mo Hongyi smiled at Cheng Xiaojin. "Not bidding?"
"It's not like I can outbid you!" Cheng Xiaojin rolled his eyes.
Meng Jingtian saw that everyone had given up and sent Mo Hongyi a trade request. A few moments later, the money and goods had changed hands.
Meng Jingtian proceeded to post the next item description.
"Wind-Sweeping Sleeve (Purple): A protective wrist bracelet Cool Breeze Camp Boss Ma Fangxing had woven from blue and white silk.
Stats: Defense + 100, Constitution + 2, Speed +
Additional Skills: Wind-Sweeping Hand: Increase user's attack speed by 20% for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 1 hour."
"Three thousand!" After posting the description, Meng Jingtian made the first bid. The majority of his equipment so far was still new-player equipment!
While this Wind-Sweeping Sleeve had average stats, it was still a purple item.
It wasn't like he could demand a full suit of divine equipment. He would gather up some purple equipment first!
Seeing this, the somewhat tempted players, Mo Hongyi included, immediately gave up.
"Swift Wind Boots (Blue): Excellent boots made from leather.
Stats: Speed + 5, Defense +
Passive: When leaving battle, speed is boosted by an additional 10%."
It was just a silver boss, and it was already very lucky that it had dropped a purple weapon. What was left were some random blue items. Meng Jingtian and Mo Hongyi had no interest in bidding, leaving the other group members to listlessly make bids.
The two purple items had made their hearts itch, but they needed to be realistic. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎
They all understood that purple items were the symbols of experts. Wearing a set of blue equipment was already enough to be considered an elite. Meng Jingtian had no interest in these blue items, but they were very precious to the other group members.
Soon, the items had all been auctioned off. Each person was given two-thousand-some gold coins, after which the party dispersed.
It was the early stage of the game, and everyone was busy leveling up. There was no time to waste.
But before leaving, all of them sent Meng Jingtian a friend request.
Meng Jingtian agreed to add Mo Hongyi and Cheng Xiaojin as friends, but he rejected all the others.
"Brother Tian! That scoundrel who was trying to raise the price is cursing you in the world channel!" Cai Minghou warned as they began to head back to Black Tortoise City.
Meng Jingtian took a glance. "Let him curse. Paste our chat log for everyone to look."
After saying this, he put the matter aside and examined the Black Tortoise Armor the mission had rewarded him with.
Black Tortoise Armor: Exquisitely crafted from the shell of a thousand-year black tortoise that was kneaded by the deep sea. A suit of armor possessing formidable defense!
Stats: Constitution + 10, Defense + 1
Passive: Black Tortoise True Body: Upon using, become invincible for 1 second. Cooldown: 24 hours.
Although they were both purple items rewarded by the system, the stats were much better than the ones from Ma Fangxing's sleeve. Once Meng Jingtian equipped both of them, he received a major boost in stats.
"Haha! This color really matches you!" Cai Minghou joked.
This Black Tortoise Armor was dark green.
The corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched. Fortunately,
it was a suit of armor and not a hat.
Slapping Cai Minghou on the head, he said, "Just for this comment, your brother will definitely send you a divine weapon!"
"Send me a divine weapon? No way! When did Brother Tian become so generous?" Cai Minghou looked in disbelief at Meng Jingtian.
Meng Jingtian smiled. "Of course! This brother has always been generous! It's this divine weapon! It will definitely be green, and a hat! Let's see if you dare to wear it."
Cai Minghou's face went stiff for a moment, and then he began to tearfully implore, "Brother! Good brother, I was wrong! Why don't you reconsider? You can send me the divine weapon, but there's no need for it to be a hat, right?"
"That depends on you! Go and hand in your mission! I'm going grinding!" After sending him off to Black Tortoise City, Meng Jingtian stopped messing around and bid farewell.
"Alright! Where are you grinding?" Cai Minghou asked.
"Black Crow Forest!" Meng Jingtian replied.
"What?" Cai Minghou turned to Meng Jingtian in alarm. "That's a Level 30 monster region, and there are tons of them! Aren't you only Level 26? If you go there to grind, won't you be killed almost instantly?"
"The higher the level, the better! The Level 20 training areas are all occupied by the big guilds, right?" Meng Jingtian calmly asked.
After seeing the descriptions of all the monster areas around Black Tortoise City on the forums posted by Bai Xiaosheng, Meng Jingtian had ultimately decided on Black Crow Forest.
Bai Xiaosheng
wasn't any particular player, but a massive player organization. It could be considered an in-game news agency.
Whenever anything new happened in the game, they would always be the first to report it. Bai Xiaosheng was also usually the source for the best guides. If one spent a little money, one would also be able to learn of some 'gossip'.
On the forums, the guide for Black Crow Forest provided by Bai Xiaosheng was basically empty. All that was said was that it was a place where Level 30 monsters gathered.
Level 30 was neither too high nor too low. Although the average player level was still at 17 or 18, Bai Xiaosheng definitely had the ability to extract a little information from there.
But since the guide was so sparse on the details, it meant that Bai Xiaosheng felt that there was a price on Black Crow Forest's info.
Meng Jingtian had been planning to grind levels, and while Black Crow Forest's Level 30 monsters might have been dangerous for other players, it was perfect for him.
Thus, he chose Black Crow Forest. While grinding, he might also be able to discover some of its secrets.
After saying goodbye to Cai Minghou, Meng Jingtian set off for Black Crow Forest.
On the way, he saw many players grinding. The low-level areas with monsters in the teens were all packed with players. One could say that the players outnumbered the monsters, the monsters being wiped out in one second.
Grinding in these circumstances was highly inefficient.
...
As for the higher-level zones, with monsters in the twenties, the big guilds of Black Tortoise City had seized control of them. One could see their teams clearing monsters in a neat and disciplined fashion. Whenever an unaffiliated player who didn't know what was good for them came to try and kill-steal, they would be killed without mercy.
Their efficiency was naturally much higher than that of the unaffiliated players.
There was one other sort of player, the solitary expert. They normally had unique understandings of the game. In secluded high-level monster zones, they could use the terrain and their skills to grind monsters alone, or they could have hidden missions. Their grinding efficiency was also rather high.
This was how the game was divided. Ordinary unaffiliated players, if they continued like this and didn't have any lucky encounters, would basically never be able to catch up.
"Caw! Caw!" Frightening calls came from the distance. He could already see a pitch-black forest, with no leveling players around. As Meng Jingtian looked at this dark forest that appeared like a giant maw, he hesitated.
Chapter 23
Skeletal Daoist
After a few moments of hesitation, Meng Jingtian strode in. It was just a game. There was no need to be afraid.
Flocks of Level 30 corpse-eater crows flew about the trees. As field mobs, they should have had red names for ordinary players, but this was not the case for Meng Jingtian.
The Friendliness of the corpse-eater crows was at 70—not comparable to NPCs in cities, but it was enough for the corpse-eater crows to not attack him.
After observing them for a short while, Meng Jingtian realized that there were twelve flocks of corpse-eater crows in total at the edge of Black Crow Forest. Each flock had forty to fifty members, and they were all extremely close to each other.
Normally, this would be a place that only a guild team of Level 30 players would try to grind.
Level 30 monsters… even though they were mobs, they had decent stats. Their HP was only 50000, but corpse-eater crows had an Attack of more than 3000. Ordinary attacks were capable of deleting the current average player in seconds.
"Divine Punishment!" Meng Jingtian attacked one of the corpse-eater crows.
"-10780" A damage number appeared, and this corpse-eater crow had a violent personality, so its Friendliness to Meng Jingtian instantly dropped by 50 points as it flew at him.
But the other corpse-eater crows of the flock were unaffected, continuing to fly here and there as if they had never even seen Meng Jingtian.
"Dodge!"
"-5042"
As Meng Jingtian dodged the corpse-eater crow's attack, he swung Stupa at the crow.
After another few ordinary attacks and one more Divine Punishment, the corpse-eater crow was taken care of. All in all, it had taken less than half a minute.
"Ding! Congratulations! You have gained 30000 EXP!"
He was currently Level 26, and leveling up required 500000 experience points. This meant that he needed to kill 17 corpse-eater crows at most to level up.
Considering that it took half a minute for each one, it meant that he could level up in less than ten minutes! This was truly an abnormal leveling speed!
The game had been open for a little more than a day, and the majority of players were only seventeen to eighteen. This was a sign of just how difficult leveling was.
As expected, grinding high-level monsters was more efficient!
At this time, high-level training zones were for Meng Jingtian alone to enjoy. Other players who tried to get in would face only one end.
That end was instant death by large numbers of corpse-eater crows. Even an elite team of a large guild would not dare to come to this zone with so many high-level monsters.
Let alone grinding, not losing levels would be good enough.
Meng Jingtian grinded for around two hours, in the end reaching Level 35. The higher one's level, the more experience that was required for the next level up.
And as he rose in level, the experience the corpse-eater crows gave to him also dropped.
At this time, each corpse-eater crow he killed only gave him 10000 EXP.
Meng Jingtian glanced at the level rankings. With a five-level gap, he had left Nangong Qi far behind.
Even Nangong Qi would probably take a while to make up these five levels. Meng Jingtian decided to stop grinding. Looking at the pitch-black depths of Black Crow Forest, he raised his saber and began to slowly venture deeper.
His level was far above that of ordinary players now, so he could put aside grinding for the moment and explore other facets of the game.
After all, as a veteran player, he keenly understood that while levels were very important in a game, they weren't everything.
While level had some influence on one's overall fighting power in a game, more important were equipment, abilities, and player skill. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
He had no plans on making his character someone that only had levels.
Just as Meng Jingtian was about to venture into the depths of Black Crow Forest, the system made a congratulatory announcement.
"Ding! System Announcement: Congratulations on the number of players joining a faction worldwide reaching one hundred million! Once players reach Level 20, they can find masters or guides to learn the skills of sects and factions!"
The faction system had only been unlocked recently, and already one hundred million players had passed the trials to join a faction?
Meng Jingtian instantly became anxious. He had yet to find any news regarding any hidden factions.
If he still only had his starting skills while ordinary players had already learned faction skills, he would be at a major disadvantage in any fight.
Moreover, the threshold for players to learn faction skills wasn't very high, only Level 20. It probably wouldn't be long before players with faction skills were as common as the hairs on a bull.
Meng Jingtian's heart was rather heavy. He had been watching for any news from Bai Xiaosheng, but there was still no word on any hidden sects.
Moreover, with his money, he would never be able to afford this sort of information.
He could only internally sigh. If he didn't run into a hidden faction soon, he might have to settle for an ordinary faction.
"A skeleton?" As he was lost in thought, he spotted a decaying skeleton lying beneath a tree not far in front of him.
The bright numbers indicated that this fellow was still 'alive', not merely a background decoration.
Moreover, this skeleton was Level 50 and only had a Friendliness of 60, even lower than most NPCs and monsters.
"Young friend! Could you help this old Daoist with something?" As Meng Jingtian was inspecting its info, the skeleton began to speak.
Meng Jingtian thought it sounded rather weird. At first glance, he thought that this was some NPC or monster that had wandered over from the west. He hadn't expected it to be a native!
Meng Jingtian walked closer and realized that the skeleton really was wearing a tattered Daoist robe. The gloominess of Black Crow Forest and the distance had made him not see it initially.
And now that he was up close, Meng Jingtian had to stop himself from vomiting.
Holy shit! If only this guy had been an actual skeleton!
After all, he had seen plenty of those in western virtual online games.
But this guy, strictly speaking, was only half a skeleton!
This was a Daoist that could no longer be recognized as human. Many areas of the body had rotted away until only bone was left, but there were also some areas that had yet to completely decay, and the stench of rotting meat was utterly revolting.
Meng Jingtian could only sigh in praise at this person's vitality, that they could still be alive in this wretched state.
Once he had calmed down his turbulent stomach, Meng Jingtian turned and said to this skeletal Daoist called Master Tian Yuan, "What can I help you with?"
As the skeleton had been the one to strike up the conversation, this fellow was probably an NPC, not a monster. And in his past experience, when NPCs asked for help, they were usually offering a mission.
"Young friend, please kill me, and then please deliver my body and this letter to my senior brother, Master Tian Ying!" Master Tian Yuan used his trembling, skeletal hand to take a letter out of his tattered robes.
...
"Ding! A Heart That Prays for All Peoples (1): Master Tian Yuan has requested for you to bring his corpse back to Qian Kun Monastery and deliver a letter to Master Tian Ying.
"Mission Time Limit: Ten days.
"Mission Reward: Skill Point + 1, Level + 1, 1 piece of purple equipment."
Chapter 24
Disciple of Blood Demon Palace
"A chain mission?" Meng Jingtian murmured in shock as he noticed the '(1)' next to the mission name.
Not only did this mission have an impressive-sounding name, it was also a chain name, and the first chain link was being issued by a Level 50 NPC. This was no ordinary mission!
Meng Jingtian quickly took the mission, patting his chest as he declared, "Be at ease! I will definitely carry it out!"
He then turned to Master Tian Yuan and hesitated. "Then…"
Master Tian Yuan closed his eyes as if he could go to death in peace. But just when Meng Jingtian was going to throw the body into his inventory, his eyes flew open, and he warned Meng Jingtian, "Don't go any farther!"
"Uh…" Meng Jingtian glanced at the dark depths of the forest. He truly had been planning to explore a little more.
But in order to complete the mission, he naturally couldn't speak back to Master Tian Yuan, so he nodded. "Okay!"
Master Tian Yuan closed his sole remaining eyelid, and Meng Jingtian placed a finger in front of his nasal cavity, the nose having decayed away, and confirmed that he was really dead. Letting out a sigh of relief, he put the body in his inventory.
After all, this was a game with only 99% realism. Besides the fact that players could see the game information in virtual reality and a few other game-like traits, this place was identical to the real world.
But rather than heeding Master Tian Yuan's warning, Meng Jingtian ventured deeper into the forest.
He was very curious to see what was up ahead that would make Master Tian Yuan warn him not to go right before his death.
Moreover, he was very confident in the benefits provided to him by his status as a god. The moment he saw the situation turning sour, he would take to his heels!
It wasn't long before Meng Jingtian spotted a pack of human-shaped monsters wandering around. An extremely sinister-looking estate was located in this pitch-black forest.
Blood Demon Palace Perimeter Disciple (Lvl. 45): A vigilant disciple of Blood Demon Palace, apparently guarding something.
Stats: ?
Skills: ?
The difference in level was too great for Meng Jingtian to see all the info on these human-shaped monsters. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝙢
But their Friendliness was at a dangerous 50.
In the end, Meng Jingtian decided not to venture any farther. He marked the place down so that he could come back when he was stronger.
The Blood Demon Palace Perimeter Disciples were only the mobs on the edge of this estate. There was no telling if there were any elites or a boss inside.
The Belief Halo's effect was weaker the stronger the target was, and it also seemed to be affected by the other party's faction and moral character.
Righteous or neutral NPCs would more easily be affected by the Belief Halo. The more evil an NPC was, the less they would be affected.
The Blood Demon Palace disciples clearly did not belong to the righteous camp.
Although this was only a game and dying once wasn't a big deal, he couldn't just send himself to death's doorstep. Only a fool would do such a thing.
What Meng Jingtian didn't see was that after he left, a short and skinny player walked out from that sinister estate.
This player was not attacked by the Blood Demon Palace disciples and even conversed with them.
It was as if these Blood Demon Palace disciples were NPCs to this player, not mobs.
Meng Jingtian began to make his way back to Black Tortoise City, but before he could leave Black Crow Forest, his body shivered, and he felt like he was in danger.
"A player? Or a monster?" Meng Jingtian was rather shocked. Seeing a dark silhouette suddenly appearing next to him, he quickly activated the Black Tortoise Armor's passive skill, Black Tortoise True Body. A turtle shell appeared on his body, granting him one second of invincibility.
That silhouette was like a wisp of black smoke that had emerged from his own shadow.
The ambush having failed, the silhouette quickly disappeared, not even leaving behind a wisp of smoke.
Meng Jingtian was on his guard. All he could hear was the cawing of the corpse-eater crows and his own heart pounding.
"It's a player!" The enemy had not continued their attack. If it had been a monster, even if the first attack had failed, it would have continued to attack.
Meng Jingtian was sure that the enemy was still here, but he was currently in a very passive position. He had no skill to break stealth, so he could only wait for his enemy to strike again.
Ten seconds later, that player emerged from his shadow once more as a wisp of black smoke.
Meng Jingtian's eyes focused. As expected, his enemy had been waiting for their cooldown.
It was that same bizarre method of appearance that could catch one off guard, but Meng Jingtian was ready this time and immediately threw out a Divine Punishment.
He was confident that if they were competing in damage, no one could compare to him. Moreover, his level was very high, so he probably wouldn't be instantly deleted by his enemy.
He had just been caught off guard the first time and had only had time to use Black Tortoise True Body to protect himself. Before he had time to counterattack, his enemy had disappeared. Now, however, he could only take the attack directly.
"-2543"
"-5078"
Two numbers appeared respectively on the bodies of the two players.
Meng Jingtian was flabbergasted by this person's strength. This was not the full power of Divine Punishment, but when the Divine Punishment made impact, it only stirred up a cloud of black mist and dealt around five thousand damage to his enemy.
This was an indication that this player's skill that turned him into black smoke also had the ability to reduce damage.
Meanwhile, the enemy's three-foot short sword stabbed Meng Jingtian and took off more than two thousand hit points.
"-121" "-98" "-101"
Moreover, Meng Jingtian was continuing to lose HP. That short sword was poisoned!
Meng Jingtian didn't have time to think, as that player was still coming.
The skill's effect had passed, so Meng Jingtian could clearly make out the true face of his opponent. This was a short and thin youth with a calm and emotionless face. He apparently didn't care that Meng Jingtian's one skill had removed half his health.
Whether it was because his skill was on cooldown or because he felt that he could finish off Meng Jingtian, the youth didn't continue to hide. Gripping his sword, he continued to attack Meng Jingtian.
The short sword blurred, one becoming two, two becoming four… in the end, several dozen swords attacked Meng Jingtian, each one aimed at a vital point.
Meng Jingtian didn't have a skill that could reduce damage, so he hastily used Divine Recovery to heal himself to full and activated the Wind-Sweeping Sleeve's passive. His attack speed increased by 20%, and he slashed twice with Stupa at this player.
"Critical hit! -9321" A frightening number appeared on Meng Jingtian's body. When striking a vital point, the critical hit chance was increased!
A single skill left with Meng Jingtian with only one-third of his HP. This skill was clearly not a low-class starting skill. Moreover, given the other skills he had already used, this was clearly a player who had learned faction skills!
...
At the same time, the other player hastily retreated to avoid Meng Jingtian's attacks, but he had not predicted that Meng Jingtian's attack speed would be 20% faster, so he was unable to dodge Meng Jingtian's two slashes.
"-6950" "-7510" Without any damage-reducing skills, Meng Jingtian's two ordinary attacks were able to produce frightening numbers.
The enemy player had only a sliver of HP left, and he immediately turned into a black blur as he tried to escape. Meng Jingtian saw that the cooldown on Divine Punishment was done and immediately used it.
Chapter 25
Treasure
"Combat Log: You have killed Huang Chao'an."
"The second assassin?" Only after the brief battle was over did Meng Jingtian finally exhale. Muttering to himself, he opened up the forums and found the topic that Godslayer Hall had named after him.
A day had passed, and many new events had happened in the game. At this time, another one of Bai Xiaosheng's posts had taken the top spot.
But Godslayer Hall's post was still on the first page, and that unique bloody font made it instantly recognizable.
Meng Jingtian opened the topic and refreshed a few times. As expected, he soon saw an update to the post.
Huang Chao'an truly had been the second assassin dispatched by Godslayer Hall.
Two failed assassinations in a row once more made the topic popular, and many spectators began to chatter about Meng Jingtian.
Several bored people even posted some of the info they had gathered on Meng Jingtian.
For example, he was first on the level rankings, and he had stolen a boss at Seaside City from five big guilds and had thrown their players into jail. This only made everyone more curious about Meng Jingtian. In a flash, Meng Jingtian became a celebrity in the game.
"It seems that I really need to join a faction soon." Meng Jingtian bitterly smiled as he returned to the game.
That Huang Chao'an had been a player who had learned faction skills, and his damage was much higher than the first assassin's, and he also had more skills at his disposal. If not for the skills attached to Meng Jingtian's equipment, he might have died.
Once he had calmed down, Meng Jingtian sent a message to Cai Minghou. "Little Hou! Did you hand in the mission? Do you know where Qian Kun Monastery is?"
The old Daoist Master Tian Yuan's mission had not marked anything on his map. He had to find Qian Kun Monastery himself.
After all, this was a chain mission. It couldn't be something as simple as running around. There had to be some level of difficulty to it.
"I handed it in, but…" Cai Minghou was somewhat hesitant to speak.
"What? Is there a follow-up mission?" Meng Jingtian asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Mm! King Pingwu issued a mission for me to get rid of the remaining bandits at Cool Breeze Camp," Cai Minghou said with a bitter laugh.
This mission wasn't as difficult as the first one, but it was still not something Cai Minghou could currently accomplish.
Although the two of them had been bosom gaming buddies for many years, Cai Minghou truly felt embarrassed to ask for Meng Jingtian's help again. After all, the early stage of the game was a golden era for development. Meng Jingtian had his own things that he needed to do.
"That's easy to do. Once I get back, we can finish this mission together. First, ask around for any information on Qian Kun Monastery." Meng Jingtian wasn't that worried. There was no such thing as being delayed. Weren't friends supposed to do all they could to help each other?
"Alright! Is Qian Kun Monastery a hidden faction?" Cai Minghou curiously asked after agreeing.
"It's just for a chain mission. I still don't know if it's a hidden faction!" Meng Jingtian shrugged as he replied.
As the two were chatting, another person sent Meng Jingtian a message, much to his confusion. Who else besides Cai Minghou would send him a message?
Upon opening the message, he discovered that it was from Zhang Defa, the player he had sold the Frozen Sword Token to. "Boss, I've got a treasure here! Are you interested in going after it?"
"Treasure?" Meng Jingtian stroked his chin. Normally, treasures in games were pretty good, and since Zhang Defa had chosen to invite him, it was probably something he couldn't handle by himself, so the rewards were probably decent.
"Can you give me the details?" Meng Jingtian soon replied.
"It's a treasure map that I got from a faction mission issued by the sect master. Apparently, it's where a senior of the Frozen Sword Sect sealed himself away to die. I went over to take a look, but just the monsters on the perimeter were Level 25. I couldn't get in at all," Zhang Defa explained.
"I can go, but how are we dividing the treasure?" Meng Jingtian asked after some thought. If the monsters on the perimeter were Level 25, in this early stage of the game, the treasure had to be pretty good.
"Forty-sixty!" Zhang Defa replied.
"Forty-sixty?" Meng Jingtian asked. He had expected 55.
"You're the sixty!" Zhang Defa sent over a smiley. "I was only able to get my hands on this map because of your Frozen Sword Token that let me become the First Senior Brother of the Frozen Sword Sect. Ordinary disciples can't even meet the sect master."
Meng Jingtian was taken aback, and then he bitterly smiled. Was this what it meant for a petty-minded person to try and fathom the actions of a gentleman?
This Zhang Defa was very easy to work with. The average person would never propose this. b𝚎dn𝚘v𝚎l.𝚌𝚘m
"Alright! I have two missions to do, so I'll come over once they're done!" Meng Jingtian replied, all his apprehensions gone.
Meng Jingtian soon returned to Black Tortoise City and paid a visit to the Golden Goose Mercenary Company.
Cai Minghou was the Second Young Master of the Golden Goose Company, and he seemed very confident and energetic. Knowing that Meng Jingtian was coming, he had ordered the employees of the company to stand in the company's courtyard to welcome him!
"Welcome, Young Master Meng!" the NPCs shouted as soon as he walked in.
The corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched. He knew without thinking that this was Cai Minghou's idea.
"How is it? Awesome, right?" Cai Minghou chuckled as he walked out with two NPCs in black uniforms.
The two attendants seemed cold and formidable, but Meng Jingtian looked at their info and saw that they were only Level 15, and their stats were also nothing to write home about. They were rather lacking compared to other NPCs, so they were probably Cai Minghou's reward for the mission.
"When did you start suffering from middle-schooler syndrome?" Meng Jingtian was somewhat speechless.
"Impossible! Middle-schooler syndrome is a state of mind!" Cai Minghou shook his head.
"Do you have any information on Qian Kun Monastery?"
"I do have some, but it's not an easy place to get to!" Cai Minghou shook his head again.
"Where is it?" Meng Jingtian pressed.
"To the east of Black Tortoise City, about one hundred li away, are the Hidden Dragon Mountains. Qian Kun Monastery is at the very tippy-top of one of those mountains. I also heard that the Hidden Dragon Mountains have nothing but Level 40 to 50 monsters. It's not a place we can go to." Cai Minghou continued to shake his head as he spoke.
"Eh? You found the place so quickly? You've got some skill!" Meng Jingtian looked at Cai Minghou in astonishment.
"Haha, I bought it from Bai Xiaosheng," Cai Minghou scratched his head and frankly smiled.
Meng Jingtian shot him a helpless glance. He just knew that Cai Minghou wasn't that good. "How much was it? I'll send it over!"
"There's no need. If not for Brother Tian's help, I would definitely have had to restart. What's some information between friends?" Cai Minghou waved his hands.
"We're brothers, so is there any need for things to be so business-like between us?" Meng Jingtian knew that he wanted to return the favor, so he could only sigh.
"This isn't any sort of business transaction. I just feel that Brother Tian has always been onesidedly helping me, and I couldn't stand it," Cai Minghou earnestly explained.
"Let's go! I'll help you with your mission!" Meng Jingtian patted Cai Minghou on the shoulder, dropping the matter.
Chapter 26
Qian Kun Monastery
Cai Minghou waved his hands and said, "There's no rush on my mission. I've got half a month! Brother Tian, go and do your mission first! I have go and level up. I can't stand on the sidelines forever."
"That's fine too!" Meng Jingtian smiled and nodded.
This was a game, after all. Even if he was able, it wasn't like he could help him with everything, right? What would Cai Minghou play then?
Cai Minghou turned to an NPC behind him and ordered, "Someone, bring a horse over!"
An NPC that did odd jobs for the mercenary company brought over a black horse. While it was an ordinary black horse, an ordinary player would have to spend at least one hundred gold coins to buy one.
This was the advantage of 'identity', and it was also one of the unique points of this 'unfair' online game. While everyone started as players, once they entered the game and 'reincarnated', their starting points would be completely different.
"Thanks!" Meng Jingtian said as he took the reins of the horse.
The Hidden Dragon Mountains were outside of Black Tortoise City, and this sort of field zone didn't have a teleportation portal that led there, so he had to make his way there through his own power.
This ordinary black horse was not precious to Meng Jingtian. What was truly precious was the affection and camaraderie Cai Minghou had exhibited in his arrangements.
As the sun set, casting its twilight glow across the skies, a horse and its rider rode across the stone-paved roads.
By the time Meng Jingtian had arrived at the Hidden Dragon Mountains, it was already night. Under the light of the stars and moon, the Hidden Dragon Mountains truly did appear like some slumbering dragon.
As it was late, Meng Jingtian decided to log off and climb the mountains tomorrow. He had played for a very long time today, and he was beginning to grow tired.
Just when he was about to log off, the system made an announcement.
"System Announcement: Congratulations to Player Qin Mengmeng for establishing the guild 'All Under Heaven'. All those under heaven with ambition are welcome to join!"
"System Announcement: Congratulations to Player Qin Mengmeng's guild 'All Under Heaven' for being the first guild to be established. System Reward: Title (Orange): 'World's Number One Guild'!"
"Qin Mengmeng?" Meng Jingtian was taken aback by this announcement. He then realized that this person had probably established the guild in Seven-foot-sword Immortal's stead, to avoid having to reveal Seven-foot-sword Immortal's true name.
He then hastily opened up the auction screen.
As expected, ten minutes ago, the Guild Formation Token he had put up for auction had been sold for four million, five hundred thousand gold coins. It was just that he had failed to see the system's notification.
With this, Meng Jingtian had suddenly become one of the richest players in the game in terms of in-game currency.
Meng Jingtian softly smiled as he logged off.
Luck truly was a vital factor! In his last game, he had been born into a new-player village with numerous experts.
All of the players had essentially the same basic stats. There had been no 'identity'.
He couldn't compete against guilds for bosses, and he couldn't compete for missions against people who specialized in researching the rules of missions, so in the early stage of the game, he had been bullied around badly. Unlike this game, his luck in that one had been truly terrible.
Meng Jingtian couldn't help but look forward to the future. At this time, the massive sum of 4.5 million gold coins truly didn't seem like much.
The next day, after a night's good rest, Meng Jingtian energetically logged in.
It was also morning in the game, the golden sunlight contrasting with the verdant slopes of the Hidden Dragon Mountains. Meng Jingtian quickly rode his horse into the mountains.
Just as Cai Minghou had said, the Hidden Dragon Mountains were full of Level 40-50 monsters. At the current stage of the game, players wouldn't dare to try and enter this zone.
Shortly after entering the mountains, Meng Jingtian ran into a pack of level 45 white wolves.
A normal player rushing in would have been met with instant death.
But as he was a god, the white wolves had a Friendliness to him of 75. Not only did the white wolves not attack him, a small white wolf curiously ran over to him.
Meng Jingtian raised an eyebrow. As the location of Qian Kun Monastery, the Hidden Dragon Mountains had a completely different atmosphere compared to Black Crow Forest. He could sense a vague spirituality in the air, and even the air felt much fresher. It was not at all like the oppressive air of Black Crow Forest.
After passing through the wolf pack, Meng Jingtian ran into a pack of Level 50 rhinos, an elite Level 50 yellow-spotted tiger…
Finally, he arrived at a precipitous mountain. The 'tippy-top of the mountain' that Cai Minghou talked about was probably the peak of this mountain. From the base, Meng Jingtian could already make out a Daoist monastery at the summit.
But the problem was that this mountain was incredibly steep, almost ninety degrees. Even after making a complete circle, he failed to find anything like stairs.
Looking up, he saw the mountain thrusting into the clouds. How the hell was he supposed to get up there?
"It really is at the very tip!" Meng Jingtian bitterly smiled as he scratched his head.
How was it that the Daoists of Qian Kun Monastery went out? Could they all fly?
After some hesitation, Meng Jingtian shouted at the monastery, but perhaps because the mountain was too tall, nobody paid him any attention.
Since he was already here, Meng Jingtian couldn't easily give up. With no better method, he decided to try climbing.
After climbing for half an hour, he looked up and saw the clouds engulfing the peak above him. There was no telling how much longer he had to climb!
And the closer he got to the peak, the steeper the slopes became. It was like they had been cut by a sword. Meng Jingtian soon found that there were no more edges to grab onto, and was immediately faced with a dilemma.
As the common saying went, it was easier to go up the mountain than get back down, and that wasn't even considering a steep mountain like this one. He could go neither up nor down.
Bang!
Meng Jingtian took out Stupa and hacked at the mountain's side, determined to continue climbing.
Since he couldn't retreat, he would advance!
…Until there was truly no other way, until he had expended all his strength.
Meng Jingtian wasn't one of those elite, top-class gamers. He might have lacked oustanding gaming skill, but he at least had a heart that would never give up until he achieved his goal.
Many times, this just seemed like laughable brute strength to bystanders, but sometimes, a little brute strength was required!
Meng Jingtian was just about to cut into the mountain with his saber and continue his climb when he heard a frantic voice. "Waitwaitwait! Young friend, please stop!"
"Eh? Someone there?" Meng Jingtian was astonished. He had been climbing for half an hour and was very high in the air. There were even thin wisps of cloud around him. How could there be someone else here?
Following the voice, he saw an old Daoist with an otherworldly air approaching him, riding on a giant red-crowned crane. He had a horsetail whisk at his waist, and his body, while slender, was packed with muscle.
"Level 65!" Meng Jingtian exclaimed. This old Daoist wasn't the target of his mission, Master Tian Ying, but his level was pretty high!
"This stone mountain was moved here by the ancestor of Qian Kun Monastery, Celestial Qian Kun, using the Mountain Moving Art, and it was carved out by his sword. It mustn't be damaged!" The old Daoist spoke with great heartache as he looked at the part of the mountain that Meng Jingtian had hacked at with his saber. b𝚎dn𝚘v𝚎l.𝚌𝚘m
"This old Daoist has witnessed your persistence. You may enter my Qian Kun Monastery! If you would!" He waved his whisk, and another red-crowned crane flew out of the clouds and to Meng Jingtian's side.
...
Chapter 27
Demon Nightmare
After listening, Meng Jingtian realized that this had all been a trial, so he swiftly boarded the crane.
The crane was huge, with a wingspan of more than two meters. As Meng Jingtian climbed onto it, it did not move a muscle.
Once Meng Jingtian was seated, the two cranes flew past the clouds toward the summit.
Upon his arrival, Meng Jingtian discovered that at the top of that skyscraping stone mountain was a flat platform. This had probably also been the work of that old Daoist's ancestor.
Clouds flowed by his feet, transforming that simple Daoist monastery in front of him into an immortal paradise.
He had barely walked through the gate when a young boy who appeared twelve or thirteen waved his horsetail whisk and bowed. "The monastery master has been waiting for some time. Honored guest, please come with me to the tea-tasting rock!"
"Please guide me!" Meng Jingtian glanced at the boy and realized that he was a Level 70 NPC, even stronger than the old Daoist who had come to fetch him, so he was very polite with his reply.
"Then I will leave it to Senior Brother Qing Feng!" The old Daoist who had rode the crane to fetch Meng Jingtian brought his hands together in a salute before withdrawing.
Meng Jingtian followed the boy into the monastery. After passing through several winding corridors and over a stone bridge crossing a lotus pond, he arrived at a platform placed at the edge of the summit.
Next to the edge was a large rock that started thick on the top and tapered to a point at the bottom. It appeared to be balanced precariously on the edge, yet it was perfectly stable. In fact, it was being used as a table, carrying one pot of tea and two full teacups.
Next to the table was a white-robed old Daoist with black hair and a youthful complexion. He was seated on a stone stool and leisurely sipping tea, exuding an aloof and transcendent aura. He truly seemed like an immortal who had descended from the heavens.
"Congratulations on your birth, new god!" The old Daoist smiled and rose to greet Meng Jingtian.
Level 120!
Meng Jingtian mentally called out. This was the second Level 100 boss he had encountered in this game!
And he was twenty levels higher than that divine beast!
"This junior pays respects to Master Tian Ying. The reason for this junior's visit…" Meng Jingtian did not act rudely because he was a player. He used the etiquette he had learned from NPCs to pay his respects to Master Tian Ying, and then he explained why he had come.
Master Tian Ying quietly listened, and then he sighed and pointed at the 'stone stool' across from him. "Please sit!"
Meng Jingtian glanced at the stone stool. Just like the table, it went from wide to narrow, its connection with the ground covering as much area as a finger.
This wasn't that important. After all, that 'stool' was very firmly placed there.
But once Meng Jingtian got up close, he only needed to look to the left of the stool to see the abyss right next to the edge of the summit.
Even though this was a game, the realism was too much, and Meng Jingtian's heart thumped in fear.
Not just any ordinary person could casually sip tea at the edge of an abyss.
But what else could he do to finish the mission? He could only stretch out his neck!
Meng Jingtian clenched his teeth, and even though his face paled, he still managed to compose himself and place himself on the stool.
But he only half-sat down. He did not dare to place his full weight on this unreliable stool, for if the stool toppled, it would dump him into the abyss.
"Ding! Congratulations! For passing the trial, your Guts has increased by 10."
'Guts'? Meng Jingtian was rather surprised. This stat wasn't available on his stat panel. Was it a hidden stat?
Gulp!
Meng Jingtian swallowed his saliva, picked up the thumb-sized teacup, and drained all of the light-green tea in the cup in one go to calm himself down. 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝗺
"Ding! For consuming Mind-Focusing Tea for the first time, your Spirit has increased by 30!"
Pft!
Caught off guard by the system notification, Meng Jingtian spat out the Mind-Focusing Tea that he had yet to fully swallow.
Hell! This really was a Level 120 boss! A mere cup of tea could add 30 points to Spirit?
Going up one level only granted a single free stat point!
Moreover, his Divine Punishment was a damage spell. These 30 points of Spirit had more than doubled its damage!
Meng Jingtian's gaze toward Master Tian Ying became rather ardent.
Screw it! This old man is joining Qian Kun Monastery!
Master Tian Ying paid no attention to his gaze, appearing rather absentminded. He let out a sorrowful sigh. "Junior Brother Tian Yuan had outstanding talent, and he was Teacher's most favored disciple. Alas, though Qian Kun Monastery cultivates the Dao of withdrawing from the world, Junior Brother Tian Yuan had a heart determined to enter the world.
"He left the monastery thirty years ago to experience the secular world. Not even I knew where he was. I never imagined that when I next heard of him, it would be to learn that he met this sort of end!"
"This is the body of Master Tian Yuan and the letter he asked me to deliver!" Meng Jingtian removed the two mission items from his inventory and gave them to Master Tian Ying.
"Demon Nightmare!" Upon seeing Master Tian Yuan's body, Master Tian Ying shot to his feet in shock, his beard trembling.
Meng Jingtian was rather astonished. 'Demon Nightmare'? What was that? What could shock even a Level 120 boss?
Master Tian Ying hastily opened the letter, and as he read through it, his face turned graver and graver.
"So that's what happened. Young friend, I must thank you for delivering this letter!" Master Tian Ying solemnly thanked Meng Jingtian once he was done reading.
"Ding! Congratulations! Mission Complete: A Heart That Prays for All Peoples (1). You have obtained the rewards: Skill Points + 1, 1 Sky-Soaring Shoes (Purple)."
"Ding! Congratulations! Level up!"
Simultaneous with the notification of mission completion, Meng Jingtian leveled up to 36.
Master Tian Ying looked at Meng Jingtian and asked, "Young friend, could you help this old Daoist with something else? Of course, young friend, I will also grant you a reward!"
"Help with what?" Meng Jingtian hastily asked. Meng Jingtian knew that this was a chain mission, so he had expected this request from Master Tian Ying.
"Could you go to the base of the Blood Demon Palace for me and search it? It would be great if you could find some information on the Demon Nightmare," Master Tian Ying solemnly said.
"I can, but…" Meng Jingtian hesitantly looked around.
Master Tian Ying saw the look on his face and said, "Young friend, if you have some request, please speak directly."
"This lowly one lacks the strength. If Daoist Elder could accept me as a disciple and teach me a few techniques, I would be more capable of completing this task for Elder!" Meng Jingtian said, and smiled.
Master Tian Ying's level was very high, and there was also a chance he was of the righteous faction. His Friendliness toward Meng Jingtian was also a rather high 70.
...
Meng Jingtian could be considered negotiating his rewards with him.
"No! Young friend, you are a god, not someone this mortal old Daoist can take as a disciple." Master Tian Ying waved his hand and immediately rejected the idea.
Meng Jingtian was rather downcast, and he was preparing to argue his case when Master Tian Ying said, "But I do have a place that is perfect for you to advance your cultivation."
"Ding! Demon Nightmare (2): The master of Qian Kun Monastery has requested you to head to the base of the Blood Demon Palace and seek out information regarding the Demon Nightmare.
"Mission Time Limit: One Month.
"Mission Reward: Special Equipment: Destiny Dice (Orange), Divine Academy Admission Notice."
Chapter 28
Golden Boy and Jade Girl
As the mission was issued, Master Tian Ying took out a golden card and waved it in front of Meng Jingtian. This was most likely that admission notice to the Divine Academy!
"Alright! No problem! Leave it to me!" Meng Jingtian thumped his chest as he stared at the golden card.
Master Tian Ying chuckled and hid the golden card away from Meng Jingtian's greedy eyes. He also put away Master Tian Yuan's body, after which he sat back on the stool and poured himself another cup of tea. "This tea should be enjoyed slowly.
"Qing Feng! Please escort our guest!"
The young Daoist boy reappeared. Standing nearby, he gave Meng Jingtian a slight bow.
Meng Jingtian was unwilling to so easily be sent away. He asked Master Tian Ying, "Ah, Daoist Elder! You should at least tell me what this Demon Nightmare is!"
"This old Daoist has withdrawn from the world and should not have concerned himself with mortal affairs."
Master Tian Ying pointed at the heavens and said, "But this was Junior Brother's last wish. He did not wish to see the world in suffering, so I sought your assistance. Young friend, I cannot say much, only that you must be careful!"
Heaven? The Dao of Heaven? The system!
Meng Jingtian suddenly understood. Presumably, this was a restriction placed down by the system. This was all the information that Master Tian Ying was allowed to provide.
No matter how impressive Master Tian Ying's level was, he was just a collection of data in the game. Defying the rules of the system would only result in annihilation.
Information restricted by the system could not be extracted from the mouth of an NPC through mere Friendliness. Meng Jingtian could only follow the Daoist boy, Qing Feng, out.
Once they were out of the monastery, Qing Feng summoned a crane to deliver Meng Jingtian back down the mountain.
By the time Meng Jingtian returned to Black Tortoise City, more than half the day had passed.
He equipped the item he had received from the mission and then applied his one skill point to Divine Punishment. Divine Punishment was much more powerful now, and it was no longer a single-target attack, but a multi-target attack.
Divine Punishment (Lvl. 2): All targets within one meter of a specified point are struck with lightning, dealing 100% of basic Attack and 500% of Magical Attack as damage. If a targeted player is killed, apply the 'God Forsaken' debuff. This debuff can stack 5 times.
He then got in touch with Cai Minghou and asked if he wanted to take care of that bandit pacification mission.
But he learned from Cai Minghou that he was grinding at Qingming Mountain, not far from Cool Breeze Camp. Cai Minghou sent over the coordinates and asked him to come over so that they could head straight for Cool Breeze Camp together.
Meng Jingtian left the city and headed toward the location that Cai Minghou had sent.
But when he entered Qingming Mountain, a man and a woman suddenly jumped out and barred his path.
The man held a purple weapon in the form of a folding fan. His skin was fair and his appearance handsome, and he radiated an aura of elegance.
The woman had red lips and an exquisite face that had a classical beauty. But she wore a red qipao that highlighted all her curves, and she gripped a purple-grade umbrella in her hand.
They were both Level 30 and fully outfitted with purple equipment, with two or three items being part of a set. While the rest of their equipment did not belong to any set, not a single one was below purple grade.
Experts among experts!
The majority of players were still struggling at around Level 20, and even the rank-two Nangong Qi was only at Level 33. These two were definitely top-class players.
This sort of top-class player would never appear on the road to Qingming Mountain for no reason. Meng Jingtian's eyes narrowed, for he already knew who they were.
"Golden Boy and Jade Girl?"
These were the star assassins of Godslayer Hall, Golden Boy and Jade Girl. 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝐨𝗺
They were said to be an actual couple in reality, and they were both professional players who had been primary members in one of the top ten gaming teams.
After joining Godslayer Hall, they stopped participating in gaming competitions and relied on their missions for a living. Their mission completion rate was more than 95%.
They had failed two times. The first failure was the guild master of one of the top three guilds, and the second time was the man ranked fifth on Bai Xiaosheng's list of gaming gods, Cloud-Cleaving Heaven.
And in 'Grand Desolation', they had been the ones to complete the mission on Meng Jingtian.
For Meng Jingtian, these two were old acquaintances. Even though they displayed two ordinary names in 'Tomorrow', not those IDs of 'Golden Boy' and 'Jade Girl' that made people's blood run cold, Meng Jingtian still easily recognized them.
Meng Jingtian would never forget the sense of helpless despair he had felt back then.
The first time, because he had not been prepared, he had easily died to their ambush.
Afterward, he had been forced into a state of constant vigilance. The moment Meng Jingtian stepped out of a safe zone, he would welcome instantaneous death.
There were even times when safe zones weren't safe and the pair still managed to instantly kill him.
As he died more and more, he dropped more and more equipment, making him less and less capable of resisting. It was no longer a problem of strength, but an overwhelming gap in stats.
Even when he logged off for a few days before getting back on, the pair would quickly appear. In the end, Meng Jingtian had no way of continuing to play that game.
The two of them had turned Meng Jingtian into a toy in the palms of their hands. He was always on tenterhooks, worried that he could be killed at any time.
"Eh? You know who we are?" Jade Girl's eyes flashed with surprise. Turning the umbrella in her hands, she smiled. "Since you know who we are, why don't you tell this humble girl who you are?"
"I've never been one to hide my name! Meng Jingtian!" Meng Jingtian declared with a smile, feigning ignorance as to her true meaning.
"You…" Jade Girl became annoyed. This man didn't know what was good for him!
"Little Jade, don't waste time chatting with him. Young Master Meng is a man of some skill and is waiting for us to show our own abilities!" The elegant Golden Boy coldly laughed.
Jade Girl glanced at Golden Boy and then tossed out her umbrella. "Pear Blossom Rain!" Countless hidden weapons dropped out of the umbrella's canopy like raindrops toward Meng Jingtian.
Meng Jingtian saw that this was an area-of-effect skill and instinctively dodged so that he could counterattack, but he discovered that Golden Boy had also used an immobilizing skill on him.
As to be expected of a couple that had worked together for many years, they shared a tacit understanding.
The immobilizing skill would only last for two seconds, but given how well the two of them coordinated, two seconds was more than enough for Jade Girl to apply all her damage to him.
Meng Jingtian's eyes went slack for a second, as if he was at a loss for what to do, but just when Jade Girl's attack was about to impact and the damage calculation be performed, he used the Black Tortoise True Body, rendering himself invincible for one second.
"Divine Punishment!" Meng Jingtian made his counterattack.
As Golden Boy and Jade Girl had not expected Meng Jingtian to not instantly die, or that he possessed an AoE skill, they had been standing rather close to each other. Thus, they were instantly struck by the Level 2 Divine Punishment.
"-70431"
"-71241"
As two damage numbers popped up, the two of them were instantly sent back to the spawn point.
...
It was an overwhelming gap in stats last time, right? Let me give the two of you a taste of your own medicine!
At this stage, the average player would have about ten thousand HP. Even experts like Golden Boy and Jade Girl would only have around twenty thousand HP at most, since they didn't specialize as meatshields. With this one skill, Meng Jingtian had dealt more than three times their HP!
No matter what you try, this old man needs only one skill to end you!
Chapter 29
Buying Information
After killing Golden Boy and Jade Girl, Meng Jingtian felt his heart relax. At last, he had vented some of the resentment from his last gaming experience.
"The hell sort of damage is this?!" Back at the spawn point, Jade Girl madly howled.
She had also been on a mission. While going to the mission area, she had received a message from her superior ordering her to kill Meng Jingtian. The two of them, confident and assured, had noticed that he wasn't far, so they had planned to just take care of the job now.
But while attempting to steal the chicken, they had lost the rice they used to lure it. She had now failed the mission.
"Let's report it to our superiors!"
Ten minutes later, Bai Wensheng, who was hiding in a bush and had all his attention focused on kill-stealing a boss, was startled by a system notification and instinctively threw out the skill he had ready.
But that boss didn't die and still clung to a sliver of HP.
The group of unaffiliated players that had been fighting the boss instantly noticed him. Someone shouted, "It's Tian Xuance! Forget about the boss! Kill him!"
Even in 'Tomorrow', Bai Wensheng had not changed his shameless ways. Though the game had only been up for two days, he had already stolen equipment from people and kill-stolen quite a few field bosses. The players of Seaside City all basically knew who he was by now.
A variety of skills came rushing in, instantly turning Bai Wensheng into a white beam of light that returned to the city.
He angrily opened the message but saw that it was from someone of Godslayer Hall, and that he had been invited to a discussion in their group.
Bai Wensheng was taken aback, but he quickly logged off, connected with the virtual internet, and entered the 'Godslayer' chat group.
"Is the mission complete?" Bai Wensheng immediately asked.
"No!" a member of the group called 'Godslayer No.7' replied.
"The information you provided to us was incorrect. Through our various assessments, we have determined that he is at least at the Earth Level, and pursuing him will require 50,000 alliance coins.
"Moreover, the assassins who attacked the target all had a permanent debuff placed on them. You did not inform us of this beforehand, so you must compensate us with ten thousand alliance coins."
"What? You were the one who took the job. This is entirely your problem! Why should I give you money?" Bai Wensheng angrily replied.
"But you swore that the mission target was only an ordinary player, and you only paid for an ordinary one," Godslayer No.7 very calmly replied.
"I've already paid you the money. You're not getting any more out of me! You don't think I won't make a post on the forum exposing Godslayer Hall's untrustworthiness?" Bai Wensheng wasn't a good person and had a violent temper, so he immediately resorted to threats.
"That is your answer? Alright; we understand," Godslayer No.7 calmly replied. But Bai Wensheng instantly panicked.
A threat! This was definitely a threat!
Even though Godslayer No.7 had replied in a very calm and flat tone, his threat was even more frightening than Bai Wensheng's!
"Wait! Wait, wait! Can I withdraw my request? And also, that debuff can be removed. You just have to go to a shrine and get a blessing from a god." Bai Wensheng hastily yielded.
He had been the first to receive the 'God Forsaken' debuff, and since his complaints had not come to anything, he could only ponder the words of customer support and find a resolution in-game.
In the end, he really did manage to find a way. Obtaining a blessing from a god could remove the debuff.
But the blessing of a god was not easy to obtain. It was completely random. Every time one worshiped a god, one had a very small chance of obtaining their blessing.
And the more people that worshiped the god, the smaller the chance was.
Bai Wensheng had wasted several hours of each of these last two days at a shrine before finally managing to remove the two stacks of debuff on him.
"We can put aside the matter of compensation, but you must pay the price increase!" Godslayer No.7 replied a few moments later, his stance extremely firm.
Bai Wensheng's face darkened. Fifty thousand alliance coins was no small sum to him. He was in no way happy to pay so much for the sake of an enemy in the game.
But it didn't matter if he was happy or not. When it came to unaffiliated assassins, they could just give up on a mark if they wanted. The problem was that he had gone to Godslayer Hall!
Once Godslayer Hall took action, it would not rest until it had eliminated the target. The employer wanted to take back the job? Impossible!
"I'll send it over soon!" It took Bai Wensheng a whole five minutes to muster the will to type these words.
He did not dare to offend Godslayer Hall. He still wanted to keep playing this game!
In 'Grand Desolation', he had been able to make several hundred thousand alliance coins. 'Tomorrow' was the global online game published by the government. There would definitely be more opportunities to make money here than in 'Grand Desolation'.
"Happy to be working with you!" Godslayer No.7 ended the conversation, but now, that phrase that should have represented good fortune seemed to be a jeer to Bai Wensheng.
Meng Jingtian had no idea that Bai Wensheng had gotten his just deserts before he had even taken action.
Now that he had avenged himself on Golden Boy and Jade Girl, he felt much more refreshed. Many of the dark clouds hanging over his head had dispersed.
Humming along, he went looking for Cai Minghou. Meanwhile, he opened up the forum, found a topic made by Bai Xiaosheng, and sent the topic poster a private message.
"Is the waiter here?"
"Here! Guest, do you wish to buy some information?"
'Waiter' was the nickname that outsiders called the members of the Bai Xiaosheng network. This was because they were like the waiters in ancient times, privy to all sorts of rumors.
"Godslayer Hall," Meng Jingtian replied.
After successfully killing assassins from Godslayer Hall three times, Meng Jingtian was now confident enough to begin his counterattack.
But an assassination organization like Godslayer Hall probably had its own intelligence network. It could obtain information on Meng Jingtian, but a loner like Meng Jingtian didn't have the same ability.
Fortunately, the game had the greatest 'shared intelligence network': Bai Xiaosheng!
As long as one paid the fee, they would provide information on anything, whether it was Godslayer Hall, the number one guild, or the strongest player in the game.
From a certain perspective, Bai Xiaosheng was perhaps the most terrifying existence in the game, as it was practically omnipresent.
"Information on Godslayer Hall is not cheap. Do you know which information you want specifically?" the waiter replied after a few moments.
"I want a list of all of Godslayer Hall's assassins in Black Tortoise City and their exact locations," Meng Jingtian replied.
"It can be done. The fee for one day is 150,000 alliance coins!" the waiter replied. 𝚋𝚎dnov𝚎𝚕.𝚌om
This was undoubtedly a game that only the 'nouveau riche' could play, and Meng Jingtian certainly wasn't a member of this class. Of course, he had never planned to use alliance coins.
"I'll pay with in-game currency," Meng Jingtian continued.
He had earlier auctioned off the Guild Formation Token for 4.5 million gold coins, and in the early stages of the game, in-game currency was worth more. This was why Meng Jingtian was so confident in his ability to buy this information.
...
"50,000 gold for one day," the waiter stated.
As expected, in-game currency in the early stage of the game truly did command a high price. It had an exchange rate of basically 1:3.
After all, one could only trade with NPCs using in-game currency. Many rich people who were used to getting their way in real life were crazily buying up in-game currency so that they could continue their extravagant lifestyle in-game.
Chapter 30
Enemies on a Narrow Road?
"Very well. I also need the location of Player Bai Wensheng," Meng Jingtian crisply replied.
He was a poor loser, but he was no miser. If he got it from a game, he would use it in the game without the slightest heartache. It was just a game! What was most important was his happiness!
"Alright. Please head to the skyline lounge of Black Tortoise City's Fragrant Pavilion to complete the transaction," the waiter replied.
Meng Jingtian left the forum and returned to the game. His character, through use of the 'automatic path-finding' ability, was already close to the coordinates provided by Cai Minghou.
But he saw no sign of Cai Minghou. On the contrary, there was another group here that was grinding levels.
Opening up his messages, he saw that Cai Minghou had sent him a message two minutes ago saying that the player who was his big brother in the game, Long Yuqian, had come over with a party and sent him back to the spawn point, and that Meng Jingtian shouldn't go over.
"Long Yuqian?" Meng Jingtian raised his head and squinted. As expected, one of the players was Long Yuqian.
Meng Jingtian had had the chance to meet this fellow, but he had sent him back to the spawn point with a single skill. He didn't have much of a deep impression of him, and if Cai Minghou hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have even thought about who this fellow was.
As Meng Jingtian noticed this group, the group also noticed him.
Long Yuqian, who was busy fighting a monster, turned his head to Meng Jingtian upon being prompted by a group member. His pupils instantly constricted, and he coldly said, "Truly, enemies meeting on a narrow road!"
Meng Jingtian might have had little impression of him, but he couldn't forget Meng Jingtian.
Instantly being killed after just exchanging a few sentences had left a very deep impression on him.
"I don't know if this road is narrow. I only know that I'm sending you back to spawn!" Meng Jingtian declared, taking out Stupa.
"Let me see how long you can stay cocky!" Long Yuqian frowned as he glanced at his group members. 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢
Immediately, a fat baldy stepped forward and threatened, "You still dare to act cocky in front of Brother Long? Kid, it seems you don't want to stick around in Black Tortoise City anymore." He swung his tiger-headed saber at Meng Jingtian.
"Hey! Don't you think this guy looks familiar? He looks like that guy targeted by Godslayer Hall, Meng Jingtian! That was his name, right?" another group member whispered.
"It's him? Godslayer Hall has failed three times now. Except with the guildmaster of Forgotten Sorrows Island, Godslayer Hall has never failed so many times before." The others instantly began to whisper in alarm.
At this time, Meng Jingtian smiled in disdain at the fatty and his swinging saber. He had long ago seen through the skill's trajectory. Though he appeared to barely dodge the skill, in actuality, he was in complete control over the situation.
"Let me teach you how to use a saber!" After dodging the skill, Meng Jingtian swiftly took two steps forward, raised Stupa high, and slashed down. A high damage number instantly popped up.
"-12042"
But this was just an ordinary attack.
The fatty had a ton of HP, and even an attack dealing more than ten thousand damage had only taken off a quarter of his HP.
In the early stages of the game, a DPS player wouldn't have so much HP. This guy had probably focused his stat distribution and equipment on being a meat shield, so he probably didn't have very high DPS.
"What are you chattering about? Get in there! What does it matter if he's Meng Jingtian? Aren't there seven of us? One skill from each of you should be enough to kill him!" Long Yuqian shouted at the other group members.
The others were convinced by this argument and immediately used their strongest skills on Meng Jingtian.
"A disordered mob!" Meng Jingtian glanced at them and couldn't help but laugh.
There was no coordination between them, and they were treating him like he was a boss. Without caring what skills he had, they just threw skills at him.
But the problem was that he wasn't a boss!
He had already used Black Tortoise True Body to deal with Golden Boy and Jade Girl, and the cooldown of attached skills for equipment were longer than ordinary skills. Though the skill was still on cooldown, he still had one other protective skill.
The Forgotten Ring's Instant Movement skill!
Meng Jingtian disappeared in a flash. The majority of player skills were aimed, so that pile of skill all crashed into empty ground.
And with this, Long Yuqian's group no longer had any 'big moves'.
"Divine Punishment!" It was now Meng Jingtian's turn to attack. The moment he appeared, he used this skill on Long Yuqian.
A beam of white lightning descended from the heavens on Long Yuqian's head.
While his group could be considered an elite group among regular players, to Meng Jingtian, they truly were a disorderly mob.
They had neither coordination nor any sense of positioning. With this one Divine Punishment, Long Yuqian and the three players standing around him were sent back to spawn.
The remaining three were frightened out of their wits, and turned to flee.
Meng Jingtian's eyes focused, and he strode forward. Using the Wind-Sweeping Sleeve to increase his attack speed, he swung Stupa around and swiftly took down the remaining few players with ordinary attacks.
Several minutes later, a panting Cai Minghou rushed over with two silver attendants.
Whew! Whew!
"Brother Tian, where… where are they?"
Meng Jingtian's reply to his previous message had been short: "I'm here already."
Cai Minghou had rushed back from the spawn point with reinforcements, but now that he had arrived, where was everyone?
Had Long Yuqian just killed him and left so that they didn't meet?
"Sent back to spawn!" Meng Jingtian was seated on a nearby rock, drinking from the jars of wine that Long Yuqian had left behind.
He threw aside the jar of wine and said, "Why is the taste so weird? Right, let's go and do the mission!"
"That's realgar wine! It can confuse the mobs in this Spirit Snake Cave. It's for grinding!" Cai Minghou's mouth twitched as he answered.
"Did you really kill them? Weren't there seven of them?" Cai Minghou looked uncertainly at Meng Jingtian.
"Then do you think your Brother Tian is just emptily boasting?" Meng Jingtian led the way to Cool Breeze Camp, glancing back at Cai Minghou as he spoke.
"That's not what I meant! It's just, just, I was surprised!" Cai Minghou scratched his head.
"Brother Tian, I know that you're not bad at games, but didn't you have a rather hard time in the early stages of the last few games you played? How is it that you can suddenly challenge an entire group in this game?"
"Luck!" Meng Jingtian paused for a moment and emotionally sighed.
"Ding! Wang Sisi has invited you to join a group!" When the pair arrived at Cool Breeze Camp, they discovered that there was already a group grinding mobs here.
Upon seeing the two, the group had even sent them an invitation to join.
...
Meng Jingtian hesitated, exchanged a glance with Cai Minghou, and then joined the group.
This group already had seventeen people, their average level being around 25 and 26. If it wasn't a guild group, then it was probably a group consisting of elite unaffiliated players.
Chapter 31
Don't Listen to Your Elders? Suffer from Regret
"?" Once Meng Jingtian joined the group, Meng Jingtian sent a question mark in the chat window, inquiring about the group's objective.
"The mission is to help us defeat a silver boss. One thousand gold coins for each person!" Wang Sisi explained.
Meng Jingtian realized that this silver boss was probably Ma Fangxing.
After all, this was a game. When a boss died, it would respawn after a certain amount of time.
Wang Sisi was Level 25, so it was very normal for her to get a mission to deal with the Level 25 Ma Fangxing.
"What's the objective of your mission?" Meng Jingtian privately messaged Cai Minghou.
"Kill one hundred Cool Breeze Camp bandits and ten elites!" Cai Minghou replied. "It doesn't conflict, and we can do them together. With all the people in their group, we should be able to finish it quickly."
Cai Minghou's mission was to exterminate the remaining bandits of Cool Breeze Camp, but this mission had set targets. This was because mobs would respawn after a certain amount of time had passed.
"Alright!" Meng Jingtian typed into group chat.
The two of them joined the ranks of the group and began to clear Cool Breeze Camp.
But perhaps because the group members had already killed enough bandits earlier, two minutes later, a system notification appeared: "You have provoked the boss of Cool Breeze Camp, Ma Fangxing. Ma Fangxing will soon appear!"
Soon, a horse loudly neighed, and Ma Fangxing rode in on a black horse, dressed in the armor of a general and swinging a saber.
Meng Jingtian was taken aback, quietly remarking to himself that this was the complete form of Ma Fangxing. When he had persuaded this boss to leave, he had neither brought out his horse nor equipped his armor.
Fortunately, all the members of Wang Sisi's group were Level 25 or 26, and they all had their proper roles. They quickly pulled the boss and began to drop his HP at a steady rate.
Not long after the battle started, the boss's HP began to approach 90%. Meng Jingtian knew that the boss would use its first high-damage skill soon, so he warned, "Everyone, scatter!"
Several people heard his warning and instinctively moved away from the group. 𝚋edn𝚘𝚟el.co𝚖
"Who the hell are you? Don't go blindly giving orders! Can you take the responsibility if the group wipes?" angrily roared a player called Sun Yaohai, wearing chainmail and holding a sword.
Before Meng Jingtian could answer, the boss's HP reached 90%. "Chaotic Saber Art!" Ma Fangxing roared, plunged into the pack of players on his horse, and began to flail his saber around.
"-54351"
"-48523"
"-51684"
Virtual numbers in red that only players could see appeared, and the players that had been grouped together were instantly wiped out.
All that was left were the few players who had scattered and now blankly stared at the boss.
This skill's damage was much higher compared to when Meng Jingtian had fought Ma Fangxing. Even the group's tanks had been instantly wiped.
After a momentary daze, Wang Sisi, who had also been killed and respawned, typed into group chat, "De-aggro the boss and wait for us to get back!"
After all, even the tanks had died. The remaining members wouldn't be able to keep fighting the boss.
"How did you know the boss would use that skill?" Wang Sisi curiously asked.
"Pft! We already fought this boss. If you don't listen to your elders, you'll suffer from regret. You died? Serves you right!" Sun Yaohai's rude words had been deeply upsetting to Cai Minghou, so his reply was very derisive.
"Little Hou!" Meng Jingtian glanced at him and indicated that he shouldn't speak so much nonsense.
He then typed into group chat, "Come back, and hurry up!"
After that, he did not de-aggro the boss like Wang Sisi wanted, but continued to fight it.
However, no matter how much DPS Meng Jingtian put out, he was never able to aggro the boss. Unable to play the role of a tank, all he could do was apply damage while using Divine Recovery on the player with aggro.
The player ran around in a circle and realized to his shock that he wasn't dead. In the end, he stopped and continued to fight the boss.
Meng Jingtian had much higher stats and level compared to when he first fought Ma Fangxing, and his damage was much higher.
And with his previous experience with the boss, he knew the boss's mechanics and skills, and would occasionally warn the other group members how to avoid the attacks.
80%… 50%… 30%… In less than two minutes, Ma Fangxing's HP was down to 10%.
It was only now that Wang Sisi and the rest managed to arrive.
Meng Jingtian saw that Wang Sisi had come over, and immediately used Divine Punishment. In a burst of bright light, Ma Fangxing toppled over.
Wang Sisi froze in shock. It… it was over?
"What? Did the mission not complete?" Meng Jingtian asked with a frown.
That shouldn't be! At this range, it should have completed, right?
"It completed! Uh, thank you!" Wang Sisi quickly came to her senses and smiled. When she looked at Meng Jingtian, a strange light could be seen in her surprised eyes.
Sun Yaohai's face darkened, and he raised his head in disdain and glared at Meng Jingtian. "What's there to be cocky about? He only defeated this boss, right?
"Sisi, since the mission is done, let's go!" He turned to Wang Sisi and reached out his hand to guide her away.
But Wang Sisi threw off his hand and unhappily said, "Why are you so rude? Leave by yourself if you want!"
She then looked at Meng Jingtian and smiled. "I owe a lot to you! Once we get back to Black Tortoise City, why don't I treat you to a meal at the Fragrant Pavilion?"
"I'm sorry; we still have a mission to do!" Meng Jingtian shook his head and withdrew from the group.
Cai Minghou saw this and withdrew as well, once more forming his own group with Meng Jingtian.
"We really lost out. They only managed to farm thirty-some mobs while we beat this boss almost entirely on our own. And now you just withdrew from the group without even getting some of the equipment," Cai Minghou softly grumbled to Meng Jingtian.
"He only dropped one purple piece of equipment. How much gold would that be if you split it among a group of nineteen people? I can't be bothered to waste time with them!" Meng Jingtian shook his head.
He hadn't joined the group for the one thousand gold coins Wang Sisi had promised, only because it happened to coincide with his own mission and joining their group would make it go faster.
"Right, right, right! Brother Tian doesn't lack money! And it's only a few gold coins!" Cai Minghou muttered.
Meanwhile, Wang Sisi's group members had taken their rewards and gone their own way. Wang Sisi and Sun Yaohai seemed to know each other, but for some reason, they had gotten into an argument.
"Ding! Wang Sisi has requested to join your group!" Afterward, Wang Sisi came over and requested to join Meng Jingtian's group.
...
After a moment of hesitation, Meng Jingtian decided to accept.
"Why did you leave the group? This is the one thousand gold I promised you, and also your portion of the money from auctioning the drops." Wang Sisi sent over a trade request.
So that's what it was about!
It appeared that this person was someone who kept their promises. Though Meng Jingtian didn't really care that much about this one thousand gold, since it was what he had earned, Meng Jingtian accepted it without hesitation.
"What mission are you doing? Let me lend a hand. I really owe the two of you a lot for that boss just now. We probably would have wiped a ton otherwise." After the trade was done, Wang Sisi did not leave the group.
Chapter 32
Monsters Became NPCs
"Heyhey! What about me? Didn't I also help? Why did you only give him money?" While Wang Sisi had said 'the two of you', she was really only looking at Meng Jingtian and was ignoring Cai Minghou, which left him rather incensed.
He was far too familiar with this attitude!
In 'Grand Desolation', hadn't the 'White Lady' used exactly this sort of enthusiasm and adorable pursuit to attach herself to Meng Jingtian?
And after getting even better connections, she had kicked aside Meng Jingtian without even a slight frown.
His Brother Tian had ascended to higher heights much faster in 'Tomorrow', and this love affair calamity had also come faster!
Meng Jingtian hadn't noticed anything at first, but Cai Minghou's question set off his warning signals.
A flash of insight appeared in his eyes, and he glanced thoughtfully at Wang Sisi.
Wang Sisi was taken aback by Cai Minghou's question.
This guy isn't tactful at all,
she mentally cursed, but she maintained her smile. "Of course you have your own share!"
Saying this, she sent over a trade request.
Meng Jingtian focused only on beating up monsters and essentially ignored Wang Sisi. Wang Sisi tried several times to strike up a conversation, but after receiving no response from Meng Jingtian, she had no other choice but to converse with Cai Minghou to avoid any awkwardness.
After they had been beating up monsters for ten-some minutes, the mobs and elites suddenly did something no player could have expected.
Led by several elite monsters, the bandit mobs threw down their weapons and got down on their knees.
"Holy shit! Brother Tian! Something weird is going on here! How do these mobs know how to beg for their lives?" Cai Minghou was stunned and exaggeratedly jumped behind Meng Jingtian.
"Ding! Under your awe-inspiring lessons and reprimands, the bandits of Cool Breeze Camp have recognized their errors and are willing to renounce their dark ways and return to the light. From now on, they will obey the laws of the Black Dragon Empire and change the name of Cool Breeze Camp to Cool Breeze Village. Will you pardon the Cool Breeze bandits?"
A system notification rang out in Meng Jingtian's ear, leaving even him dumbstruck. 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝗺
This was possible?
"Pardon?" Meng Jingtian hesitantly made his choice, upon which virtual fireworks exploded in the air and Cool Breeze Camp transformed.
The wicked bandit camp became like a village straight out of a fairytale, with green grass and blue waters.
"Am I seeing things? Why… did the red-name mobs become green-name NPCs?" Wang Sisi saw that the bandit mobs had all become NPCs with their own names, but didn't dare to believe her eyes.
"This… this is way too unbelievable, right?" Cai Minghou hollered.
Monsters turning into NPCs? He had never heard about this in any game!
"Is this a glitch?" Coming to her senses, Wang Sisi looked strangely at Meng Jingtian.
Only a glitch could explain this sort of situation, right?
"We were just farming mobs. How could we encounter a glitch? Why don't we ask customer support?" Cai Minghou was also confused, and planned to contact customer support.
"There's no need! This is probably… because of me." Meng Jingtian raised his hand and stopped him, a bitter smile on his face.
"What? Brother Tian, you…" Cai Minghou speechlessly glanced at him.
"I'm still missing seven elites and thirteen mobs! My mission isn't done! Now that all the monsters have become NPCs, how am I going to do my mission?" Cai Minghou tearfully moaned.
But a moment later, he froze, and then his face lit up in excitement. "Haha! It's complete! It's actually complete!"
King Pingwu's mission had been to pacify the bandits. Now that Cool Breeze Camp had turned into Cool Breeze Village, what bandits were left?
"Great God, thank you for saving us from the sea of suffering. Please permit me to offer to you my sincerest belief!" The slain Ma Fangxing reappeared, but this time, he was an NPC, not a boss.
Cool Breeze Village Chief Ma Fangxing!
"Ding! Congratulations! Fervent believer + 1"
"Ding! Congratulations! Believer + 1!"
"…"
In a string of notifications, Meng Jingtian instantly gained 325 believers and one fervent believer in Ma Fangxing.
"Ding! Belief Halo has met the conditions for leveling. Would you like to level it up?"
"Level up!"
"Level up success!"
"Ding! The Cool Breeze Village Chief wishes to make you the primary god worshiped by Cool Breeze Village. Do you agree?"
The primary god? Meng Jingtian was dumbfounded. Could it really be that good?
How could he not agree? Meng Jingtian declared, "Agree!"
"Congratulations! You have become the primary god worshiped by Cool Breeze Village. You have obtained one temple. As a proto-god, you may choose your own Divine Title and faction. Once confirmed, they cannot be changed."
A dialog box appeared in front of Meng Jingtian. In front were the words 'Divine Title', and then an empty box that was seemingly awaiting his input.
A Divine Title? That would be what to call a god, right?
Meng Jingtian didn't really understand it, and pondered to himself,
It's probably like selecting a nickname when creating an account.
"Hmmm…" Suddenly, Meng Jingtian's eyes brightened, and he entered, 'Genesis God'!
When other gods were born, they were just XX god, but he could choose his own name, so he naturally had to pick an awesome one.
God King? God Emperor? Putting aside that there was a high chance those names were already taken, they were just a little too much.
But 'Genesis God' was much better! It was impressive and stylish, but it was also inconspicuous and had many meaningful connotations.
I'm not claiming that I'm some king or emperor. I'll just say that I'm the genesis of all gods, the very first god!
Meng Jingtian pressed 'Confirm', and then two boxes, black and white respectively, appeared before him. There were only two choices.
...
'Righteous' and 'Evil'.
These were probably the so-called factions. But from what the turtle divine beast had said, the gods had many factions, and factions decided a god's functions.
For example, a sea god, as their name said, was responsible for administering the seas and oceans.
War gods were formidable in combat and administered war.
Gods of harvest were responsible for agriculture and harvest.
Although he didn't know why he only had the choices of 'Righteous' and 'Evil' available to him, after some thought, Meng Jingtian chose 'Righteous'.
He had no plans to be some savior god, but from what he could see, the more righteous existences were friendlier to him, and it also seemed that Cool Breeze Village was in the 'Righteous' camp.
For his own development and to prevent unexpected mishaps, he decided that choosing 'Righteous' was better.
Once all this was decided, Village Chief Ma Fangxing excitedly took Meng Jingtian's hand and said that he was going to build a temple in the center of the village and wanted his opinion.
Fortunately, he had visited the Dragon God's temple in Seaside City and had some idea of what a temple would look like, so he was able to keep up with the conversation.
He couldn't help but be excited. Truly, a blind cat finding a dead mouse! He had found success through sheer luck!
...
While helping Cai Minghou with a mission, he had somehow resolved his main quest mission!
Sure enough, one had to be loyal to their friends!
Chapter 33
Sun Yaohai's Challenge
Now that everything was confirmed, Meng Jingtian's main quest mission was on a positive trend. But as the construction of the temple would take some time, the mission did not immediately complete.
Under Ma Fangxing's command, a group of villagers had gathered in the center of Cool Breeze Village and had begun construction on the temple. As a player, Meng Jingtian could see a countdown at the base of the temple indicating that three days were left.
Cai Minghou and Wang Sisi had weird looks on their faces as Meng Jingtian conversed with Ma Fangxing. Mobs had turned into NPCs and were even building a temple for a player. What in the… Were they playing the same game?
Once he had settled the details of the temple with Ma Fangxing, Meng Jingtian turned to the slack-jawed pair and snapped his fingers in front of their faces. "OK! It's settled. Let's head back to the city. I have a few things to take care of!"
"Do you have a mission?" Let me help!" Wang Sisi quickly came to her senses and smiled, not asking about all the unreasonable things that had just occurred.
"There's no need!" Meng Jingtian shook his head and began to head back to Black Tortoise City.
"I'm going to hand in the mission! Call me if you need anything!" Cai Minghou waved his hand and said goodbye.
But Wang Sisi did not have that sort of self-awareness. With no intention of leaving, she followed Meng Jingtian to the Fragrant Pavilion.
"I heard that the Fragrant Pavilion has two main courses that can boost your basic stats by 50% for two hours. They're considered essential luxury goods for training. After we're done eating, why don't we go grinding?"
"That's not necessary. I'm going to Fragrant Pavilion for another matter, not to invite you to a meal," Meng Jingtian callously refused.
Wang Sisi's face went stiff. She wanted to say more, but then she saw Sun Yaohai come out and stand in front of the pair.
"Kid, since you're so capable, do you dare to accept my challenge in the arena?" Sun Yaohai said to Meng Jingtian, not even looking at Wang Sisi.
Sun Yaohai had already been very close to Wang Sisi, almost on the verge of confirming their relationship, but Meng Jingtian's sudden appearance had made Wang Sisi have a change of heart.
This left Sun Yaohai rather depressed, but there was nothing he could do. After quarreling with Wang Sisi, he had left.
Afterward, he couldn't help but complain to his friends out of melancholy.
But one of his friends commented, "You just handed over a woman that you just got to another person? Are you even still a man?" In this emotionally agitated state, he saw Meng Jingtian and Wang Sisi once more walking together, and impulsively rushed over to challenge him.
"That's not necessary! My time is very precious and is not to be wasted on boring things like this." Meng Jingtian glanced at Sun Yaohai before pushing him aside and entering the Fragrant Pavilion.
Sun Yaohai froze, and then his eyes blazed with even more anger. Was this kid underestimating him?
"It's just an arena match, right? You won't lose equipment or experience if you lose, so why are you so afraid?" Sun Yaohai once more stood in front of Meng Jingtian and spread apart his arms to block him.
"Annoying!" Meng Jingtian finally looked him in the eye and frowned.
"Then fight with me! I want this woman to see that her eyesight is lacking! What's so good about only knowing how to fight monsters? In the end, it's still just a game between players!" Sun Yaohai refused to back down and yelled louder, causing several people to turn their heads.
"Haaa!" Meng Jingtian sighed. "I already said that it wasn't necessary, so why seek to humiliate yourself?"
A thick bolt of white lightning descended from the skies, instantly sending Sun Yaohai and his bold and pompous words back to the spawn point.
As the crowd watched in stupefaction, Meng Jingtian called over a Fragrant Pavilion waiter, asked for directions to the skyline lounge, and then headed up to the second floor. 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Wang Sisi's eyes flashed like stars, and then she hastily followed. Affectionately grabbing Meng Jingtian by the arm, she said, "I'm sorry! I didn't think he would be so annoying."
Meng Jingtian reached out and brushed off Wang Sisi's hand, looking at her seriously. "In truth, this sort of closeness from you is very annoying. We just happened to do a mission together. I hope that you don't get any other ideas."
After saying this, he turned around, entered the skyline lounge, and closed the door.
Wang Sisi stood there in a daze, her eyes in disbelief.
Who would be so unperturbed in a game when a beautiful girl threw herself into his chest?
It was just a game! There was no need to be responsible. Didn't everyone want to play a game alongside a beautiful girl?
Was this guy a 'sage' or gay? Wang Sisi angrily clenched her fists, staring at the door as her eyes blazed with 'the flames of war'.
She didn't believe that she couldn't 'conquer' this man!
"What information does guest wish to buy?" Inside the skyline lounge was a player with a scholarly and refined air.
The skyline lounge was a private room that Bai Xiaosheng had taken a long-term reservation on. Each day, it welcomed countless people who had come to buy information. These words were basically the opening remarks made by all the waiters tasked with this duty.
But when he looked up and saw Meng Jingtian's ID, the waiter smiled and said, "So it was our major client! The information is ready. Do you wish to make the trade now?"
"This is fifty thousand gold coins!" Meng Jingtian didn't worry that an organization of this size would deceive him, so he immediately handed over fifty thousand gold coins.
A few moments later, the waiter sent a private message which contained the locations of all the assassins of Godslayer Hall around Black Tortoise City.
"Every ten minutes, I will update the coordinates. Happy to be working with you!" The waiter shook Meng Jingtian's hand.
"Golden Boy and Jade Girl! In 'Grand Desolation', you made me fear for my life. Now, it's time for me to return the favor!" After shaking the waiter's hand, Meng Jingtian turned and left, all the while muttering to himself.
Pa!
The player, whose ID was Li Si, opened a folding fan and stood up, smiling. "Interesting. Someone wants to move against Godslayer Hall! Big news!"
"Boss, you want me to investigate this news?" another player asked Li Si, emerging from behind a screen.
This player was the real 'waiter' in charge of this area.
"Of course! I suspect that Godslayer Hall has gotten themselves involved in something extremely troublesome this time! This is definitely big news!" Li Si raised an eyebrow and smiled.
After leaving Fragrant Pavilion, Meng Jingtian headed straight for Black Panther Cliff. According to the information he had just bought, this was where Golden Boy and Jade Girl were.
Godslayer Hall had already attempted to kill him three times, and at the third time, it had even been a pair of old enemies. For now, he would put his missions aside and have a match with Godslayer Hall.
When Meng Jingtian arrived at Black Panther Cliff, Golden Boy and Jade Girl were working together to kill a silver boss, the Black Panther King.
This was a Level 30 silver boss, and for ordinary players at the current stage of the game, twenty players would have to group up to ensure that they wouldn't wipe. But Golden Boy and Jade Girl had already brought down the Black Panther King to a sliver of HP.
Chapter 34
Revenge
Black Panther Cliff was empty of other players, and when Meng Jingtian was less than one hundred meters away, he was noticed by Golden Boy and Jade Girl.
The two glanced at each other in alarm and then began to back away, deciding without hesitation to de-aggro the nearly dead Black Panther King.
They had worked as assassins of Godslayer Hall for a very long time now, but this was the first time a mission target had ever come after them.
Even when ordinary players were killed by assassins of Godslayer Halls, they would never dare to think about causing trouble for Godslayer Hall.
One factor was that Godslayer Hall was an organization of assassins, not just one assassin. A single player couldn't shake an organization like this, so what did it matter if they took revenge on one assassin? All that would happen is that they would be killed by Godslayer Hall until they withdrew from the game.
The second factor was that for Class B missions, once the target had been killed until they had no equipment, they no longer had the ability to kill even one assassin of Godslayer Hall.
Even when it was a guildmaster who wanted revenge, Godslayer Hall was not a guild, so there was no way of starting a guild war.
The assassins serving Godslayer Hall were spread out all around and normally played their own game.
Although a guild had numerous people, if it split up into groups that went to find the assassins of Godslayer Hall, there was no guarantee that the guild could win.
On the contrary, the assassins of Godslayer Hall just needed to kill the officers of the guild a few times to ensure that the guild would yield and stop messing around.
Thus, no one had yet tried to take revenge on Godslayer Hall.
"How did you know we were here?" Jade Girl nervously asked, turning around the umbrella in her hand.
Their recent clash had made both of them understand that they were no match for Meng Jingtian. Their superiors had already assigned another assassin to this mission, so this matter should have ceased to have anything to do with them.
"You guys know of Bai Xiaosheng, right?" Meng Jingtian replied.
"What are you thinking? Even if you kill us several more times, Godslayer Hall won't cancel the pursuit on you." Golden Boy frowned as he attempted to be reasonable with Meng Jingtian.
"You should know that we're just people who take money to remove problems for other people. Why did you come to find us instead of finding the person who hired us?" Jade Girl asked.
"And besides, we failed to assassinate you, so this matter has nothing more to do with us."
"I will naturally go to find the person who wants to kill me, but before that, there's no harm in me coming to find you to settle accounts." Meng Jingtian grinned.
"Even if it's Godslayer Hall, since you dared to accept the job, you should have been ready for retaliation!"
"Pft! Who do you think you are? Godslayer Hall's myth will never be destroyed. We can't kill you, so there will naturally be even stronger assassins. You alone want to shake Godslayer Hall? Can an ant topple an elephant?" Jade Girl couldn't help but cover her mouth and mockingly laugh.
Meng Jingtian did not answer. He was also curious to see if an ant like him could shake Godslayer Hall. He would just keep going and see how it went!
At the very least, he had the ability to avenge himself on Golden Boy and Jade Girl.
Meng Jingtian cut the chatter and sent down a Divine Punishment.
Boom!
Jade Girl was instantly sent back to the spawn point.
The overwhelming gap in stats was akin to the gap between the heavens and earth. Even the best playing skill couldn't overcome this. This was a game.
The moment Meng Jingtian used his skill, Golden Boy used a skill that turned him into seven afterimages that all moved several meters away from Jade Girl, a sign of his formidable abilities.
Last time, they had been sent back to spawn by this one skill, but he would not repeat the error.
After dodging the attack, Golden Boy waved his folding fan. The invisible power of wind turned into two large hands that grabbed at Meng Jingtian.
Last time, Meng Jingtian had been immobilized by this same skill.
But now that Meng Jingtian had experience from last time, he dived down and just barely managed to escape the skill.
Golden Boy's eyes narrowed. This reaction speed was on the level of an expert player.
Not caring what he thought, Meng Jingtian activated the Wind-Sweeping Sleeve's attack speed boost and waved around his saber.
Golden Boy gravely waved his hand, and his body flashed with green light, seemingly some sort of defensive skill. Meanwhile, his folding fan sliced at Meng Jingtian, the edges of the fan glinting like a cold blade.
"-5043"
"-5121"
"-4951"
Three red numbers popped out of Golden Boy's body, causing him to cry out in alarm, "How?!"
He had used a damage-reducing skill that reduced damage by 30% for 5 seconds. Meng Jingtian was only using ordinary attacks, so how could his damage be so high!?
"-6041" As he yelled in shock, Meng Jingtian attacked the nearly dead Golden Boy one last time, sending him back to spawn.
Before dying, Golden Boy saw that his Slicing Wind Fan skill had only taken four thousand HP off Meng Jingtian, not even matching one of Meng Jingtian's ordinary attacks. It almost made him vomit blood.
"Huh, two purple items. As expected of Golden Boy and Jade Girl, they're incredibly wealthy! It's even better than fighting a boss," Meng Jingtian muttered as he picked up the two dropped items.
One of the items was a purple belt, which he promptly equipped, gaining a significant boost in stats.
Meng Jingtian didn't go to find the other assassins of Godslayer Hall. He went back to the spawn point to guard it, just as Golden Boy and Jade Girl had done to him in 'Grand Desolation'.
One hour later, the seventh-ranked Golden Boy and Jade Girl left the top ten.
Two hours later, they had fallen out of the top fifty.
Three hours later, they had fallen out of the top one hundred.
They had already been killed several dozen times by Meng Jingtian and had dropped more than half of their purple equipment.
These two who had once taken the lives of players as if they were taking items out of their pockets began to truly feel the terror of 'assassins'.
They had seemingly switched places with the assassins they had killed, becoming the prey to an 'assassin'.
That figure would appear at their side at any moment and take away their lives.
They felt like Meng Jingtian's toys. The moment they revived, they would have to constantly worry about their imminent death, pushing both of them to their breaking point.
There was no way to continue playing this game. As they watched their items drop and their stats fall, they were overcome by a sense of helplessness that made them want to give up on this game.
After being killed by Meng Jingtian several times, they had asked for reinforcements from Godslayer Hall. 𝚋𝚎d𝚗ov𝚎𝚕.co𝚖
...
But Godslayer Hall wasn't a guild. A guildmaster's order could not order a large number of players to rush to their assistance.
The assassins of Godslayer Hall were rather free. Even if their superiors gave them a mission to kill a certain target, the assassin could choose when they executed the mission.
Thus, Godslayer Hall's reply had been that the next assassin was already on the way and that they should hold on for now.
Golden Boy and Jade Girl persisted for another hour before they felt that they could hold no longer. Just when they wanted to log off, they realized it was too late. Meng Jingtian had seemingly expected this and ceased to give them any chance to catch their breaths. He remained at the spawn point and ceaselessly killed them, giving them no chance to escape the battle or log off.
And as he was a god, the NPCs at the safe zone completely ignored Meng Jingtian's actions.
Chapter 35
Spawn-Camping Specialist
It was evening, and Golden Boy and Jade Girl could no longer remember how many times Meng Jingtian had killed them.
At this moment, they keenly felt the despair experienced by all the players they had once targeted.
In the end, the two of them put aside their pride to ask for help from their real-life friends, who activated the emergency wake-up functions of their gaming pods, forcing them to log off.
As he saw Golden Boy and Jade Girl vanish right after they had respawned, Meng Jingtian guessed at what had happened. A smile on his lips, he began to seek out his next target.
Godslayer Hall was a massive organization of assassins, a myth among gamers. Since he had decided to play with it, how could he stop at Golden Boy and Jade Girl?
Golden Boy and Jade Girl were simply the two assassins that he had the greatest quarrel with. This was why Meng Jingtian had chosen them as his first target.
The second was Huang Chao'an.
Meng Jingtian placed priority on the assassin who had attacked him. Glancing at the newly updated coordinates from 'Bai Xiaosheng', he made his way toward the Nightmare Swamp.
The Nightmare Swamp was close to Black Crow Forest, and when Meng Jingtian arrived, Huang Chao'an was doing a mission.
Upon seeing Meng Jingtian, Huang Chao'an immediately began to flee in panic.
Several hours ago, a topic posted by 'Bai Xiaosheng' had become a hot thread stickied to the top of the game forums.
The primary topic of this post was to explain that something unprecedented was taking place: a player was retaliating against Godslayer Hall. Bai Xiaosheng had already reported the tragic circumstances of Golden Boy and Jade Girl.
At this time, the upper echelons of Godslayer Hall were still confident in their strength. They were not taking this little lone wolf seriously, merely treating him as a minor disturbance.
For a player to retaliate against a 'mythical' organization was nothing more than a fairytale. Godslayer Hall had many assassins, not just Golden Boy and Jade Girl.
This self-confidence caused the upper echelons of Godslayer Hall to assign Meng Jingtian a stronger assassin and also assign someone to keep track of the mission progress, after which they ceased to pay attention to it. After all, the operation of a massive organization required dealing with many miscellaneous affairs.
Godslayer Hall could look down on Meng Jingtian, but the assassins of Godslayer Hall could not, particularly those assassins who had previously clashed with him.
Huang Chao'an had seen that post already, so when he saw Meng Jingtian appear, he immediately sensed that something was wrong and began to run.
Huang Chao'an had joined Blood Demon Palace, whose skills were rather bizarre, and this wasn't considering his stealth skill. If he focused entirely on escaping, he would truly be quite a problem for Meng Jingtian.
But after clashing once, Meng Jingtian had some understanding of his abilities, so how could he let him use his stealth skill? The moment Huang Chao'an began to flee, he threw a potion at him.
"Baaaa!" Huang Chao'an let out a cute little bleat, as a little, white lamb that pumped its short legs and ran toward Black Crow Forest.
It was the transformation potion's turn to take the stage.
Little lamb Huang Chao'an could not use any skill, only flee in panic.
Meng Jingtian simply walked over, picked up the little lamb, and brought it back to the nearest spawn point.
And then, a Divine Punishment turned the white lamb into a white beam of light, and the figure of Huang Chao'an appeared in the spawn point.
With one simple attack after another, Huang Chao'an wasn't even afforded the chance to leave the spawn point.
As an assassin, Huang Chao'an was a loner who couldn't even find a few people to help him out. Just like Golden Boy and Jade Girl, he could only request reinforcements from Godslayer Hall.
As a large organization, Godslayer Hall had various offices responsible for various duties, but it did not have much direct authority over assassins. They were more like customer service, only able to tell the assassins that they had reported this matter to the superiors for them to resolve. They were unable to directly assist Huang Chao'an.
This time, it didn't take even an hour for Huang Chao'an to drop all his equipment. His level had also fallen beneath that of an ordinary player.
There was little point in continuing this, so Meng Jingtian gave up on Huang Chao'an and continued his next target, stretching out his evil claws– wait! 'Divine claws'!
One, two, three… One day was enough time for Meng Jingtian to strike back against many of Godslayer Hall's assassins.
Meanwhile, Bai Xiaosheng's post updated in real time, listing out all the assassins Meng Jingtian was retaliating against.
Some players even stopped grinding so that they could watch the thread.
"This guy's strong! Not just anyone could think about retaliating against Godslayer Hall!"
"My god! And here I thought that he wouldn't be able to cause much of a stir! I just took a nap and he's already managed to take care of several dozen assassins?"
"The specialist assassins of Godslayer Hall are being massacred like this? How ironic!"
"Awesome! I wonder what Godslayer Hall will do next?"
After about one day, Meng Jingtian had basically swept the vicinity of Black Tortoise City clear of Godslayer Hall's assassins, and now, he was taking the teleportation portal to Seaside City.
"After two days of not seeing each other, it seems you've gained quite a few levels!" Within the Wondrous Pill Pavilion, Meng Jingtian called out to Bai Wensheng, who had come to turn in a mission.
Bai Wensheng's knees went soft, and he almost wet his pants from fear.
Although it was just a game, it was a game packed with realism. When one was immersed in the mood and environment, it would be difficult to realize that this was a game.
This was what Bai Wensheng was feeling. He couldn't control the trembling of his heart. There was almost no player who did not know what had happened to Godslayer Hall today.
Since Meng Jingtian had dared to retaliate against Godslayer Hall, he did not dare to imagine what Meng Jingtian would do to him.
"Brother! I was wrong! It has nothing to do with me! Really! I wanted to take back the job, but Godslayer Hall doesn't allow it!" Bai Wensheng was a man with no principles. He immediately got on his knees and hugged Meng Jingtian's leg, leaving snot and tears all over Meng Jingtian's pants.
His sudden prostration took Meng Jingtian by surprise, and his mouth twitched. Did this guy have any backbone?
He wanted to jeer at him a little, but Bai Wensheng's cowardly appearance made him instantly lose interest. He used a single Divine Punishment and then made his way to the city's spawn point.
Bai Wensheng, who had just appeared at the spawn point, saw Meng Jingtian walking over and instantly took to his heels. But he was instantly made into white light and respawned.
After he had died several times, he realized that this was a game and he could just log off!
But he no longer had that opportunity.
After cleaning up Godslayer Hall's assassins all day, Meng Jingtian had become quite the specialist in spawn-camping. Moreover, his identity as a god offered him a major advantage.
Putting aside strength, he could attack people in safe zones, but others could not attack him!
As the saying went, gods may do what cattle cannot.
Chapter 36
Seven Kill
As Meng Jingtian was spawn-camping Bai Wensheng, the assassins of Godslayer Hall were in an uproar.
The several dozen assassins of Black Tortoise City had jointly signed a letter of protest, leaving the upper echelons of Godslayer Hall hard-pressed.
"Seven Kill has finished his mission, and he's heading for Black Tortoise City now. Although the employer only paid for a Class C mission, due to the negative effects Meng Jingtian has had on our organization, those above have decided to kill him until he withdraws from the game so that everyone can vent their anger. Everyone, please be patient," Godslayer No.1 consoled the various assassins in the group chat.
"As for the losses to equipment and experience suffered by everyone, the organization has already gotten in touch with the number one guild. Soon, a member of the organization will take everyone to quickly level back up." Deserving of its reputation as a large organization, Godslayer Hall was not in as disastrous a state as outsiders imagined. Everything was still proceeding in an orderly fashion.
After receiving this answer, the assassins grew much calmer. Many of them had worked for Godslayer Hall for many years and had some confidence in it.
After wiping out Bai Wensheng's equipment and levels, Meng Jingtian logged off to rest. After all, spending the entire day spawn-camping was rather draining.
The next day, upon logging in, Meng Jingtian saw that Cai Minghou had sent him a message.
"Brother Tian! Holy hell! Why didn't you take me along for something as big as retaliating against Godslayer Hall?"
"It's not the time for you to show up yet, right? Relax; if I need your help, I won't be polite." Meng Jingtian smiled as he replied.
"Brother Tian! You finally logged on! What sort of trouble did you stir? Do you know who Godslayer Hall sent for you?" Cai Minghou almost instantly replied.
"Who?" Meng Jingtian asked, narrowing his eyes. He hadn't had time to go on the forums yet.
"Seven Kill! The one who got the guildmaster of Forgotten Sorrows Island!" Cai Minghou replied.
"Seven Kill!" Meng Jingtian muttered the name several times. This was one of the strongest assassins in Godslayer Hall. Forgotten Sorrows Island had been the third strongest guild in the game of that period.
"It seems that they have a really high opinion of me, so how can I disappoint them?" Meng Jingtian replied to Cai Minghou.
Despite his words, he was taking this matter seriously.
He checked over his equipment. After a day of spawn-camping and the 'selfless donations' from the assassins of Godslayer Hall, he had gathered up a full set of purple equipment.
But as he had gone an entire day without grinding, he was still at Level 36. Nangong Qi had already caught up.
Although he knew that Seven Kill could appear at any time, Meng Jingtian, after some hesitation, got in touch with Zhang Defa and prepared to go looking for treasure.
Meng Jingtian had two missions on hand. One was the main quest mission, which would be done in two days. There was no way of speeding that up.
The other was a chain mission, which was quite difficult, and which he wasn't confident about completing. He wanted to get some more equipment and level up before reconsidering the mission.
The Frozen Sword Sect was near Black Tortoise City, and Meng Jingtian could take the teleportation portal straight to it.
His appearance flabbergasted some players who had just joined the Frozen Sword Sect and were still running missions.
"My god! Isn't that… isn't that the big boss who has been challenging Godslayer Hall? Why is he here? Is he also part of our Frozen Sword Sect?"
"Really? It seems like I chose the right sect! I'll have all my guild members join the Frozen Sword Sect right now!"
Such was the so-called celebrity effect. Thanks to Godslayer Hall, Meng Jingtian had now become an authentic celebrity in this game.
"Hey! Brother Tian! Over here!" Zhang Defa ran up, panting for breath. His purple title of 'Frozen Sword Sect First Senior Brother' stood out among the ordinary players in the Frozen Sword Sect.
"Isn't that our first senior brother?" The spectating crowd in the Frozen Sword Sect chattered, the outline of some big drama instantly taking form in their mind.
"Ah, do you think Meng Jingtian is angry because he couldn't get the title of First Senior Brother, so he's challenging him?"
"It's possible! Look here; Godslayer Hall is an organization of assassins, and is there anyone who was killed by an assassin organization who would retaliate against the assassins? At most, people would retaliate against the person who hired the assassins, right? But Meng Jingtian can! And this is Godslayer Hall we're talking about!"
"So where's this treasure?" Alas, the battle the spectators were looking forward to did not take place. Laughing, Meng Jingtian walked over to Zhang Defa, causing the jaws of the Frozen Sword Sect disciples to drop.
"Our first senior brother actually knows Meng Jingtian!" someone called out in alarm after a few moments.
By now, Meng Jingtian was a 'god' in the eyes of ordinary players. Even the fact that someone near them knew Meng Jingtian left them flabbergasted.
This was because a 'god' like this should have only existed in their conversations, not be someone they could actually interact with.
"It's at the back of the sect's mountain. It's not hard to find, but the monsters are pretty difficult," Zhang Defa explained.
Zhang Defa led Meng Jingtian over to a cliff, walked up to the edge, and pointed down. "Halfway down the mountain is a cave, which is where we should be going. But a bunch of Level 25 cloud cranes are flying around the cave entrance, and in this terrain, they're hard to deal with."
Meng Jingtian looked over and saw that the cloud cranes had a Friendliness of 100 to him, and he couldn't help but laugh.
For ordinary players, getting down this cliff would be very difficult, and there was a pack of mobs waiting down below. It was truly a trap.
But for Meng Jingtian, these weren't mobs—they were allies!
"It'll be easy if I go down myself, but if I bring you… it won't be that easy."
Zhang Defa was taken aback, but without asking the reason, he handed the treasure map over. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Boss Meng! It seems that I can just sit back and wait for the good results."
Meng Jingtian glanced at him in shock. This guy was truly easy to work with. Was he not worried that Meng Jingtian would take the treasure for himself and make false claims on what was inside?
As the two were chatting, a cold-faced youth in a long, black robe and carrying a long, black sword slowly walked up to them.
Meng Jingtian sensed his presence, ended his conversation with Zhang Defa, and turned to the player that was slowly walking toward him. "'Chen Yiming'?"
Meng Jingtian raised an eyebrow and asked, "So you're Seven Kill?"
Zhang Defa didn't know what was going on at first, but when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately started recording.
"Correct!" Seven Kill nodded and sized Meng Jingtian up. "'Tomorrow' truly deserves its reputation as the first global online game. It seems that many hidden experts have shown up."
With one glance, Seven Kill could tell that Meng Jingtian was not the Seven-foot-sword Immortal, nor was he the Wandering Drunken Scholar or any other famous online gamer.
Even if they weren't mission targets, Seven Kill had still watched those people. After all, someone might make them a target one day.
But for him, Meng Jingtian was truly a brand-new expert.
Unbeknownst to him, Meng Jingtian was no hidden expert at all. He had never been trying to hide anything. It was just that in previous games, Meng Jingtian had never reached a level where he was worthy of Seven Kill's attention.
Chapter 37
Top-class Assassin
"I'm very curious. What will Godslayer Hall do if you can't kill me?" Meng Jingtian asked, a smile on his lips.
Seven Kill was probably one of Godslayer Hall's strongest assassins.
Thus, what if the strongest of Godslayer Hall's assassins couldn't kill him? Then wouldn't the myth of Godslayer Hall be finished?
Godslayer Hall had always arrogantly proclaimed that there was no man in any game that Godslayer Hall could not kill, but Meng Jingtian was a god, not a man!
"That's not possible!" Seven Kill firmly declared, his eyes narrowing.
Meng Jingtian was confident, but he was even more so!
He was the strongest assassin, so he naturally wouldn't lose to anyone when it came to mentality.
As he spoke, Seven Kill brought his fingers together and swung them. The black sword on his back left his sheath and flew through the air at Meng Jingtian.
"A flying sword art?" Meng Jingtian was somewhat taken aback. 'Tomorrow' was an extremely mysterious game with endless possibilities. The official avenues had revealed very little information, and everything had been left up to the players to discover.
In this current stage, the majority of skills players had encountered were still in the realm of martial arts, like shattering a boulder with a palm or punching a finger through a tree trunk.
But magic spells like flying swords, summoning flames, calling lightning, controlling water, and harnessing winds had yet to appear.
Seven Kill was truly Seven Kill. His first attack was a flying sword art that had already gone beyond the realm of martial arts. This one attack had a power that could not be underestimated. 𝘣𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Meng Jingtian did not dare to take this attack directly, as there was a chance it could instantly kill him. He immediately used the Forgotten Ring's skill and blinked away. Appearing next to Seven Kill, he used Divine Punishment while simultaneously flailing around Stupa.
Fortunately, after cleaning up all the assassins of Godslayer Hall yesterday, he had logged off to rest. By now, all the skills attached to his equipment had basically finished their cooldown.
Seven Kill focused his eyes. Instant Movement! Lightning!
To be expected of someone who dared to retaliate against Godslayer Hall! This sort of skill was not something players at this stage of the game should have had. It was even more astonishing than his flying sword art.
As for Meng Jingtian's Divine Punishment, Seven Kill had already heard of its power and did not dare to be careless. He instantly used an invincibility skill, and in a dark flash, he transformed into a stone sword.
This skill only lasted for one second, but Seven Kill had timed it perfectly for the second that Divine Punishment made impact. One second early or one second too late might have resulted in instant death.
Afterward, he had to deal with Meng Jingtian's swinging saber. Seven Kill waved his hand, upon which the black sword flew back to his hand as if it had a life of its own.
He then used another skill, his body blurring until there were seven or eight Seven Kills surrounding Meng Jingtian and attacking him all together.
In the middle of all these blurs, Meng Jingtian's saber missed, 'dodged' by Seven Kill.
Meng Jingtian's heart sank. Seven Kill truly lived up to his reputation. His skills, equipment, his proficiency with his skills, and his judgment of his foes had all reached a terrifying level.
In this clash, Meng Jingtian was on the back foot. Not daring to use the Black Tortoise True Body, he just took the power of Seven Kill's skill directly.
"-1042"
"-1127"
"-1021"
…
Seven Kill's skill was a multi-part skill. Each part of the skill didn't deal much damage, but there were nine parts to the skill that were all unleashed within two seconds, the skill dealing more than ten thousand damage in total.
Alas, his enemy was Meng Jingtian, who was a lofty Level 36 with a set of purple equipment, one piece of orange equipment, and one piece of divine equipment. He was absolutely bursting with stats.
If he had the stats of an ordinary player, this damage would have been even higher, enough to instantly kill an opponent!
But as it was a multi-part skill, Meng Jingtian wasn't very afraid. Before Seven Kill had even finished using his skill, he applied a Divine Recovery to himself.
"+8017"
A virtual green number popped up, and Meng Jingtian's HP bar was instantly refilled. The last two parts of the skill resolved, and Meng Jingtian only ended up losing two thousand HP, which was insignificant to his current HP bar.
As he used Divine Recovery, Meng Jingtian swung his saber at Seven Kill.
Seven Kill's skill had just finished, and this was still in the early stages in the game, so while the skills of these two were much stronger than those of other players, neither of them had many skills.
Two skills had failed to kill Meng Jingtian, and Seven Kill's skills were now essentially all on cooldown.
He had one damage reduction skill, but he was unwilling to use it on an ordinary attack, so he decided to just take Meng Jingtian's slash.
"-5621"
A red damage number appeared, and even though Seven Kill had mentally prepared himself, he still couldn't help but be shocked. This was just an ordinary attack!
An ordinary attack had taken off one-fifth of his HP. Was he still playing the same game?
But Seven Kill had an extremely fast reaction time. After being struck, he immediately pulled away.
In just a few seconds, the two of them had basically used up their skills. All they had left were their life-saving techniques to be used if their opponent had any sort of trump card.
But their HP bars didn't change very much. In the end, this was a contest of prowess and mentality.
Both were only capable of using regular attacks, sword and saber swinging back and forth. As the two blocked and parried, it seemed as if they were reenacting a fight from a wuxia novel.
But in terms of pure prowess, Meng Jingtian was far inferior to Seven Kill. When it came to position and judgment, Seven Kill was always able to surpass him.
Every hit of his took five thousand HP from Seven Kill while every hit of Seven Kill's took about one thousand HP from him, but the final result was that Meng Jingtian was slowly pushed back by Seven Kill, all the way until he had his back to the cliff and had nowhere else to go.
Cold beads of sweat trickled down Meng Jingtian's forehead. His HP was at a dangerous level, but Divine Recovery still needed nine seconds, and Divine Punishment needed five.
Even though he still had Black Tortoise True Body, the skill's invincibility lasted only for one second. It could be used against a damage skill or mental effect, but it wasn't much help in this sort of battle.
Seven Kill had a dark expression as he swung his sword and steadily advanced. Based on how the battle had gone so far, he was now confident in his ability to kill Meng Jingtian.
This made him somewhat sigh in relief. Meng Jingtian had been the only opponent in almost a year that had been able to force out his true ability.
If Meng Jingtian had just a little more prowess, this battle might have turned out completely different.
But as Seven Kill was confidently swinging his sword down, preparing to end Meng Jingtian's life with a few more strikes, Meng Jingtian suddenly fell backward and off the cliff.
Seven Kill was struck dumb, and his heart grew sullen. No way!
He was going to die all the same, but this guy would rather jump off a cliff than die to him. It was just a game. Was there any need to focus so much on one's integrity?
...
"Cree!" The screech of a crane interrupted Seven Kill's sullen mood, and a group of white-winged, black-footed cloud cranes shot into the air.
"Divine Punishment!" With a clear cry, a white bolt of lightning came down on the unprepared Seven Kill's head.
Five seconds wasn't a long time at all.
Chapter 38
Searching for Treasure
Invincibility skills had a much longer cooldown than ordinary attack skills. Though Seven Kill immediately used his damage-reducing skill, Meng Jingtian's Divine Punishment still dealt more than thirty thousand damage to him.
Seven Kill, who already had only a sliver of HP left, was instantly KO'd!
Upon reappearing at the spawn point, Seven Kill stood in a daze. He had… failed!
After a long silence, Seven Kill sent a message to an ordinary Level 25 character: "I failed!"
"What? Yiming, you couldn't kill him either? How is that possible?" the player, who was called Ran Zai'an, asked in disbelief.
"What's not possible about it? I'm not invincible either?" Chen Yiming gave a relieved smile as he replied.
"Little An, give it up! It's just a job. There's no need to be so stubborn about this sort of thing," Chen Yiming said to Ran Zai'an.
"No! We're Godslayer Hall! There is no mission that Godslayer Hall cannot complete! Perhaps I should take Sword Immortal's advice. In the end, an individual's strength is limited," Ran Zai'an stubbornly shouted back.
"I spent a whole ten years building up Godslayer Hall's reputation. I can't allow anyone to ruin it!
"Yiming! I plan to organize a group of top-class assassins to kill him. You help out too! Can even something like that not kill him? I don't believe it!" Ran Zai'an continued.
"Little An, I'm tired," Chen Yiming answered, shaking his head.
It had been ten years now, and they had lost sight of their original aspirations. In dealing with the increasingly stubborn Ran Zai'an, he truly had grown tired.
Godslayer Hall had first been established by a few hotblooded friends who wanted to make a name for themselves in video games.
But now, it was probably only Ran Zai'an who was so enthusiastic and stubborn about maintaining Godslayer Hall, right?
Meanwhile, at the cliff at the back of the Frozen Sword Sect, Meng Jingtian descended back to the ground atop a cloud crane.
He had taken a gamble on these cloud cranes with 100 Friendliness to him and guessed that they could understand his commands, that he could ride them as he had the red-crowned crane at Qian Kun Monastery.
The final result showed that he had made the right bet.
"Zhang Defa! Zhang Defa!" Zhang Defa was standing absentmindedly by the cliff, and Meng Jingtian had to yell at him for an entire minute before Zhang Defa finally showed a reaction.
Meng Jingtian pouted as he asked, "The hell did you go?"
"Haha! Rich! I'm rich!" Zhang Defa's eyes were almost glowing as he patted Meng Jingtian on the shoulder.
"What sort of daydream were you having?" The corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched as he slapped the guy on the head. This guy wasn't just a member of the nouveau riche, but also a money-grubber!
"I just posted the video of your battle with Seven Kill onto the forums—ten alliance coins to view once." Zhang Defa beamed as he explained.
"Guess how it did? I only put it up one minute ago, but it's already been watched more than three hundred times."
Meng Jingtian was startled. It was no wonder he was rich! He had even been able to find a commercial opportunity in a place like this?
"Then shouldn't you be paying me an appearance fee?" Meng Jingtian patted Zhang Defa on the shoulder and rubbed his fingers together.
Zhang Defa's smile froze, and then he glanced at Meng Jingtian. "I really didn't see it, but you're someone who really knows how to bleed a person dry! You didn't take the video! It was all my effort."
"But you were recording me, right?" Meng Jingtian said, and slapped him on the back.
"I could possibly give you a percentage," Zhang Defa said, his smile returning as he began to negotiate. "Brother, you're a celebrity now, so let's do this! I'll invest a little more money, and then we can produce some action figures and peripherals, and then you can advertise a few products that my family makes…"
"Screw you! Are you playing a game or running a business?" Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes. He saw that Zhang Defa's eyes were glowing and that he had already taken out a calculator. be𝚍nove𝚕.com
"Take out the treasure map!"
"Eeeeh? Brother, you don't want to reconsider? I think that you should put your celebrity effect to good use!" Zhang Defa called out, seeing that Meng Jingtian had just taken the treasure map and was already walking away.
But at this moment, the cloud crane next to Meng Jingtian pecked at Zhang Defa, instantly taking off one-third of his HP.
The cloud crane wanted to continue attacking, but Meng Jingtian held it back by the neck.
Zhang Defa hastily retreated to a safe distance and bitterly smiled at Meng Jingtian. "Why don't the monsters attack you? Are you a beast tamer?"
"Why are you thinking about how to make money in a game? Were you also born in a merchant family in the game?" Meng Jingtian shot back.
Zhang Defa was startled. He knew that Meng Jingtian wasn't going to give him an explanation.
After all, an ability to be 'friendly' with monsters was extremely game-breaking. Was there anyone who would selflessly share it?
He understood how to be discreet and stopped asking.
Meng Jingtian got on the cloud crane and flew down the cliff. Truly, halfway down the cliff, there really was a cave entrance, concealed beneath ivy.
Meng Jingtian opened up the treasure map again, which provided an exact location. Moreover, when he opened up the treasure map, a red line appeared that led into the cave.
It seemed that this was the right place, so Meng Jingtian followed the map's guide into the cave.
After ten-some meters, a fork appeared in the cave, as if this was some sort of maze.
This was probably the reason the treasure map existed. The red line produced by the map told Meng Jingtian which path he should take.
After going around for about an hour, he was confronted by a single path. It seemed that the maze had ended, and his destination was up ahead.
Meng Jingtian gleefully took a few steps forward, but he was interrupted by the flapping of wings. A group of Level 30 bloodthirsty bats had been alarmed and was now flying toward him.
"50 Friendliness?" Meng Jingtian slightly frowned at the level of Friendliness these bats possessed.
It was somewhat unusual, but it was still enough Friendliness for the mobs to not attack him. Meng Jingtian passed through these mobs that he should have needed to kill and came up to a stone door.
Slivers of black energy seeped out from behind the stone door. The dark environment and the flapping of bat wings made the mood somewhat frightening.
Meng Jingtian took out a piece of fire-stone from his inventory, and with its dim light, he was able to find the switch for the stone door.
Crrrrrr~
With a tooth-aching creak, the stone door slowly opened, shedding dust.
Awooo!
The moment the stone door opened, a bestial howl came from within, and a black silhouette rushed out, giving Meng Jingtian a fright.
Once he was able to get a good look, he realized that it was a boss, its body circled by black energy.
...
Demon: Mi Fei (Gold Boss)
Level:
HP: 20000
Skills: Demon·Heaven-Cleaving Slash, Demon·Proud Frost Sword, Demon·Man-Sword Fusion…
Chapter 39
Soloing a Boss
For the dungeon to have a boss inside it wasn't a surprise. What was really a surprise was that the boss's Friendliness to Meng Jingtian was actually zero. The moment it appeared, it lunged at him.
"Demon?" The title in front of the boss's name made Meng Jingtian pensive. Was this guy connected to the Blood Demon Palace base in Black Crow Forest?
It shared the word 'Demon', so did it have some connection to the Demon Nightmare of his mission?
Meng Jingtian didn't have much time to think. Demon·Mi Fei repeatedly attacked him, the long sword in its hand coldly flashing. Each ordinary attack was able to take away several hundred hit points from Meng Jingtian.
It was a little too late to make a group, and Meng Jingtian was somewhat eager to give it a try.
Why didn't he try soloing it?
Upon seeing the boss's two million points of HP, Meng Jingtian was filled with unprecedented confidence, perhaps brought about by his victory over Seven Kill.
"Divine Punishment!" Meng Jingtian didn't withdraw. He charged into the stone chamber behind the boss so that he would have more space to move around.
The boss was surrounded by black wisps of energy that concealed a human-shaped monster wearing shabby and old clothes. Turning its scarlet eyes on Meng Jingtian, it pursued him and swung its sword.
"-127841" The Divine Punishment's white bolt of lightning instantly dealt more than one hundred thousand points of damage to the boss. At this level, this was a game-breaking ability, the equivalent DPS of seven or eight ordinary players.
The black mist around the boss roiled, revealing the white bones beneath, but in a flash, the black mist closed back around it.
Meng Jingtian raised Stupa and slashed several times. The skeleton encircled by black mist was quite sturdy and seemed unaffected.
But as the damage numbers popped out, the boss's HP continued to slowly drop.
The boss was continuing to make regular attacks against Meng Jingtian. Meng Jingtian did damage and dodged the boss's attacks, at the same time keeping track of his HP so that he could promptly use Divine Recovery when needed.
In 'Tomorrow', all attacks besides homing skills could be 'dodged' by changing position, including ordinary attacks.
When the boss's HP reached 70%, the boss threw the sword, which turned into a white ray of light that shot at Meng Jingtian.
Meng Jingtian immediately moved to the side, but then he realized that it was a homing skill. After a moment of hesitation, he decided not to use the Black Tortoise True Body. A scarlet number popped out of Meng Jingtian's body.
"-20417"
Meng Jingtian was alarmed. He had been at full HP, but this one skill had left him with barely a sliver. Two more hits from the boss would basically finish him.
He did not dare to continue doing damage. Glancing at the several seconds still left on Divine Recovery's cooldown, he began to run around the stone table in the center of the chamber, reenacting '
The King of Qin runs around a pillar
'.
The boss clumsily picked up its sword and continued its pursuit. After running around the table twice and failing to catch him, it decided to cut apart the stone table and then slash at Meng Jingtian.
"Jesus, how shameless!" Meng Jingtian fumed. What game had a boss that would destroy the environment of its own volition?
This sort of intelligent boss had never appeared, not even in the last few virtual online games he had played!
Meng Jingtian even speculated that if it weren't for the mysterious 'rules of the system', this freaking boss probably would have thrown all the skills it could at him.
Right now, all he could do was mentally curse as he rolled to the side to avoid the boss's sword.
"Dodge!
"Bleeeh! Come at me! You still chasing me or not?!" Meng Jingtian's cooldown finally finished, so he used Divine Recovery and recovered more than half his HP. He immediately got to his feet and began to slash his saber at the boss. Not caring whether the boss understood, he jeered at the boss.
The boss's eyes flashed red, and its swings seemed to have even greater strength behind them. Meng Jingtian could even sense the anger within the sword.
"It's almost at fifty percent…" Staring at the boss's HP, Meng Jingtian muttered to himself. Although his HP was at a healthy level, he began to pull away from the boss.
"Divine Recovery!" It wasn't long before Divine Recovery came off cooldown again, and Meng Jingtian used it again to heal himself fully.
He then used a Divine Punishment on the boss, dealing more than one hundred thousand damage and bringing it down to almost exactly 50%.
"Demon·Proud Frost Sword!" The boss let out a bizarre and hoarse cry.
Meng Jingtian immediately felt a chill run through his body, as if the air around him had frozen. He felt like he had been transported to the cold South Pole, a layer of white frost encasing the walls of the stone chamber.
Countless swords made from crystals of ice shot toward Meng Jingtian from all sides.
"Black Tortoise True Body!" His body shivering, Meng Jingtian instinctively sensed that if he didn't use this skill now, he wouldn't get another chance.
The moment before the Proud Frost Sword made impact, Meng Jingtian used the skill.
Ding! Ding!
With crisp clangs, the swords made from ice struck the Black Tortoise True Body and shattered, indicating that the skill had ended.
But even though the skill was done, the stone chamber was still encased in ice, and Meng Jingtian was now carrying a debuff.
Frost: As you are in a cold environment, your movement speed and attack speed are reduced by 5%.
Decreased movement speed is one thing, but why is my attack speed lower too?! Isn't this a little too unreasonable!?
But he was just complaining for the sake of it. Looking at the boss with only half of its HP left, Meng Jingtian was somewhat looking forward to continuing the fight.
As the boss's sword, circled by black wisps of energy, struck Meng Jingtian's body, the damage was very normal, only a "-785", but Meng Jingtian soon discovered that something was wrong.
He had another debuff! 𝑏𝘦𝑑𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Lingering Demonic Energy: Affected by the Demon's energy, all healing to you is reduced by 20%!
"****" Meng Jingtian was speechless. What sort of scam boss was this? It could reduce healing too? Even a team of Level 35s would probably be brought to their knees, right?
Moreover, across the entire China region, there were probably only a few Level 35s, definitely not enough for a group.
These two additional debuffs forced Meng Jingtian to be more careful.
With his damage, if he focused entirely on DPS, the boss would probably be dead in a few minutes.
But the problem was that he did not dare to focus solely on damage. Each 5% drop in the boss's HP made him nervous over the possibility that the boss could use another skill.
He also had to keep a close eye on his own HP so that he would have as many skills and as much HP as possible if the boss threw out a skill.
In this cautious fashion, he managed to endure the 'Demon·Heaven-Cleaving Slash'. The boss was finally brought down to ten-some percent. This gold boss with two million HP was on the verge of being brought down by Meng Jingtian.
...
Chapter 40
Boss Loot Pi?ata
The black wisps surged, and Meng Jingtian felt like he could hear the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves. The nearly dead boss gripped its sword and jumped, transforming into a giant, black sword that slashed at Meng Jingtian.
Meng Jingtian was horrified. And it was even a homing skill that couldn't be dodged.
"Divine Punishment! Wind-Sweeping Hand!"
Fortunately, Meng Jingtian was ready with his skills. The moment the attack landed, he immediately used Divine Punishment on the boss.
He then activated one of his equipment skills, increasing his attack speed by 20%, striking the black sword that was the boss five times within two seconds with his saber.
After doing all this, Meng Jingtian closed his eyes and waited for the final 'judgment'.
Because he no longer had a life-saving skill, he decided to go all or nothing. Even if he had to bet his life, he had to kill the boss and bring it down with him so that all his effort wasn't for nothing!
"Ding! Congratulations! Level up!" A crisp system notification rang out. The expected death having not come, Meng Jingtian somewhat fearfully opened his eyes.
What he saw was a devastated battlefield, a pile of white bones, and dazzling equipment spread out all over the ground.
Flipping through the battle log, he saw that the boss's attack had dealt more than forty thousand damage. Before leveling up, he had only had a few dozen hit points left.
What the hell sort of luck was this? He might as well just change his name to 'the god of luck'!
"No! I have to boost my HP. This old man's heart can't take this much excitement," Meng Jingtian muttered to himself, patting his chest.
Excitement was one thing, but the rewards were also decent. The ground was covered in loot, and Meng Jingtian even spotted two orange lights, his face instantly breaking into a smile.
Demon·Mi Fei had been a Level 35 gold boss, and the number of people that had reached Level 35 on the level rankings couldn't even form a group, let alone a group that could take on a Level 35 boss.
High risk came with high rewards. Meng Jingtian had soloed this boss, and he now reaped the rewards.
Meng Jingtian walked over to the loot the boss had dropped and used the Forgotten Ring's passive to automatically pick up the items.
Only after this did Meng Jingtian begin to inspect the items.
What he inspected first were naturally the two orange items.
Demon Nightmare (Dormant): A legendary Nightmare Body from the Demon Realm. Can be planted on a human or beast, and after a certain period of time, it will transform them into a blood-sucking 'Demon'.
Meng Jingtian was astonished. His mission was to find information on the Demon Nightmare, and he hadn't expected to end up with it.
Flipping over to the mission page, he saw that the mission hadn't completed, though the mission progress had received a big boost.
It seems that I still have to take a trip to the Blood Demon Palace base,
Meng Jingtian remarked to himself. He then sent over the Demon Nightmare's description to Zhang Defa.
After all, this treasure map was Zhang Defa's. He had only come to help him out.
Even so, Zhang Defa had offered a generous forty-sixty split that favored Meng Jingtian. As he was such an upright person, Meng Jingtian naturally wouldn't be so petty as to take everything for himself.
Meng Jingtian was constantly reminding himself that he was playing a game. Yes, he was playing the game, not the game playing him.
If he dropped his principles for the sake of a game, becoming a petty and shameless man like Bai Wensheng, he would come to hate himself.
Frostslow Sword (Orange): The personal sword of Frozen Sword Sect Elder Mi Fei. Forged by Master Blacksmith Ouyang Huo from meteoric iron. Ranked sixth in the Ten Renowned Swords of the Northern Black Dragon Kingdom.
Stats: Attack + 1000, Strength + 10, Critical Hit + 10%
Passive: When dealing damage, apply 100% of basic magic damage as Frost damage.
The Frozen Sword Sect was a physical attack faction that emphasized Strength, but the Frostslow Sword's passive dealt magic damage. This was truly rather bizarre.
But this could be rather effective against opponents with higher physical defense. This could be considered an extremely high-grade weapon that would probably draw many big buyers if put up for auction.
Meng Jingtian softly chuckled as he sent over the Frostslow Sword's description to Zhang Defa.
"Wow wow! Orange! An orange equipment!" Zhang Defa shouted in excitement, seemingly only now seeing Meng Jingtian's two messages.
"Wooow! To see an orange piece of equipment, my gaming life is complete!"
But this reaction was a little too much!
"'Complete', my ass! This game just opened! What are you shouting about? You've got too few desires!" Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes as he playfully cursed.
"Heheh, I really don't have many desires! Brother, look at my equipment. The majority of it is still blue! You see that there's no equipment up for auction, so can't you let me be a little excited?" Zhang Defa chuckled as he shamelessly confessed.
"Then go and be excited! In any case, sixty percent of this equipment is mine," Meng Jingtian replied, a smile on his face.
Zhang Defa was startled, and then he hastily replied, "No! Brother, no! You have to give this sword to me! What if I add in a little money? Transfer you some alliance coins? Name your price!"
"That's not necessary. It's not like there are only these two items. This cave had a boss that I just killed. It dropped loot all over the place, so I can give you the sword!" With this rather understated comment, Meng Jingtian began to inspect the purple items.
"Boss? Killed?" Zhang Defa was stunned. A boss that dropped orange items had to be at least a gold boss, right?
In this current stage of the game, a Level 25 gold boss would require a team of 20 players with an average level of 27 to beat.
Moreover, if even the mobs on the outer edge were Level 25, and since it had dropped orange equipment, that boss was definitely higher than 25!
Meng Jingtian had gone in alone, but he had killed the boss?
He just killed it? And he had talked about it like he had killed some random mob. Zhang Defa was speechless. This was probably what was meant by the saying 'comparing oneself to others just makes you explode from anger', right? 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Clear Heart Necklace (Purple): A necklace that can focus the mind.
Stats: Spirit + 10, Constitution +
Passive: Cultivation Madness chance decreased by 50%."
As Zhang Defa reeled in shock, Meng Jingtian posted the description for another purple item.
"I want the Demon Nightmare and this necklace," Meng Jingtian added.
After all, this was what he deserved.
If it was what he deserved, then he would not even let one coin go, but if he didn't deserve it, he wouldn't long for even half a cent.
Upon coming to his senses, Zhang Defa hurriedly sent back a reply. "Okay! Okay! I just need the sword!"
...
Meng Jingtian was taken aback, and then he smiled. "You really do have no desires!"
He then pasted the descriptions for three additional purple items.
Zhang Defa chuckled. It was wrong to consider him greedy for being excited over making some alliance coins for posting a video. He just enjoyed the process of making money.
In some aspects, he was basically the same as Meng Jingtian, not caring much for physical possessions.
Chapter 41
After tidying up, Meng Jingtian continued to explore the treasure.
Because of the chaotic battle just now, the stone room was in a mess. A treasure chest with a faint golden glow was quietly placed on the stone bed not far away.
Meng jingtian walked over and opened it. Disappointment flashed in his eyes. It was only two pieces of purple equipment.
At the current stage of the game, most players were still fighting for a set of blue equipment. It would be good if they could mix and match two pieces of purple equipment.
However, to Meng Jingtian, the worst equipment he had was purple equipment. It was useless even if he wanted more purple equipment. He could only pick the ones with better attributes and put them on. The overall improvement was not big.
Just as Meng Jingtian was secretly fighting the boss alone, the forum was already in an uproar.
The "Battle Video"that Zhang Defa uploaded had received tens of millions of views in just one hour.
A mere video had brought in over a hundred million alliance dollars. This was something that even Zhang Defa did not expect.
The battle video between the top-tier killer of Godslayer Hall, seven kill, and the currently famous number one player on the level ranking board. He knew that it would be very interesting and should be able to attract the attention of many game players.
But he did not expect to attract so many players'attention!
Because the video was too popular, in just a short hour, hackers broke through the Forum's firewall. The free version of the video circulated, attracting more players to watch it with Relish.
After a period of time, Bai Xiaosheng, who had always been the leader of the game topics, actually followed this hot topic that was caused by Zhang Defa's video.
He posted a post with this "Pirated"video, "Is it the rise of a new god, or the fall of the Godslayer Hall?".
Once the post was posted, because of the free "Battle video", it quickly replaced Zhang Defa's paid video and was pushed to the front page of the forum.
An hour later, this post was viewed by tens of millions of people and had millions of comments.
All the players were discussing and guessing Meng Jingtian's identity. was he one of those gods who used to dominate the world in the game? Or was he a newbie who just entered the game and had heaven-defying luck?
In short, regardless of whether he was a god or a newbie who suddenly rose, he was undoubtedly the hottest topic in tomorrow.
It could be said that Meng Jingtian stepped on the "Bones"of the Godslayer Hall and walked all the way to the throne of the "Top God"recognized by the players.
Along with the heated discussion of the "Rise of the god", there was another topic that the players could not avoid, either gloating or shaking their heads in regret.
That was, the myth of the Godslayer Hall had been destroyed!
The Godslayer Hall, which was known as the game, did not have players that they could not kill. It welcomed an unprecedented opponent, which could also be said to be a challenge.
The last challenge was the leader of Forgotten Sorrows Island.
At that time, the leader of Forgotten Sorrows Island was killed by the top killer of Godslayer Hall, seven kill. He became the stepping stone to establish the legend of Godslayer Hall. 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝐨𝗺
And now, in front of Meng Jingtian, even seven kill was defeated.
Was the legend of Godslayer Hall really destroyed?
What else could godslayer hall do? What did the Godslayer Hall plan to do? These were undoubtedly questions that made the bystanders curious.
In fact, the killer groups within the Godslayer Hall had been infiltrated by these bystanders. They wanted to go in and find out the latest news about the Godslayer Hall.
As the saying went, strength comes with numbers. In many cases, the strength of these bystanders was not to be underestimated.
In a spacious and bright office building, ran Zai'an, who was in his thirties but had very little hair, angrily kicked the table with an aged face.
Emotionless robots walked around the office, still serving tea and pouring water.
The few human employees carefully looked at ran Zai'an's expression, not daring to make a sound.
"How many have you contacted?"After throwing a tantrum, ran Zai'an asked a human employee not far away.
"Nine."The 20-year-old youth hesitated for a moment and answered carefully.
"Nine?"Ran Zai'an raised his tone once again and laughed mockingly. He said angrily, "Usually, tens of thousands of assassins rely on the Godslayer Hall to survive. Now that the Godslayer Hall is in trouble, only nine are willing to take action?"
"You said that as long as they are top-notch assassins, there are quite a number of a-rank assassins who are willing to take action..."the young man reminded weakly.
Moreover, under the current situation, some top-notch assassins were afraid that Meng jingtian would take revenge on them and did not dare to join.
That guy didn't care whether you were an assassin or not, he was just a knife in someone else's hand.
As long as you made a move, you would be guarding the respawn point until your equipment was cleared, and your level and exp would be depleted.
Even in the early stages, not many experts were willing to take such a risk.
For game experts, one step ahead, one step ahead. If someone cleared it once in the early stages, they would fall behind many other experts of the same level.
No one was willing to fall behind!
The fate of the golden couple and the other assassins of black tortoise city had been "Live-streamed"by Bai Xiaosheng and spread everywhere, causing the killers of the Godslayer Hall to feel insecure.
"Forget it, tell them to gather at fragrant pavilion in Black Tortoise City!"In the end, ran Zai'an waved his hand dejectedly and said.
This was his last gamble. He had won. Although gathering a group of killers to do a single task was somewhat disgraceful for the Godslayer Hall, it could be considered as completing the mission and maintaining the reputation of the Godslayer Hall.
If he lost, the myth of Godslayer Hall would be destroyed. From then on, the myth of assassins in the game would be reduced to an ordinary assassin organization.
Meng Jingtian had no idea that when he was fighting a boss, the game forum had already exploded because of him. He left the treasure cave and "Split the loot"with Zhang Defa before returning to black tortoise city.
As soon as he returned to the city, a message from the outside world came over, causing Meng Jingtian to be stunned.
He opened the message and saw that it was a message from the bank. Zhang Defa had transferred 50 million alliance dollars to him!
Meng Jingtian almost fell to the ground. What?
What was wrong with Zhang Defa? She had suddenly transferred so much money to him?
As a jobless vagrant, Meng Jingtian had never seen so much money while living with the government's meager subsidies.
"Old Zhang! What the Hell Is Wrong With You? Why did you suddenly transfer so much money to me? Are you trying to scare me to death so that I can keep the treasure for myself?"Meng Jingtian asked Zhang Defa half-jokingly after a short while.
"So you don't want to pursue it anymore? This is just a little more money? However, it's not that I want to scare you. You deserve it,"Zhang Defa teased.
"I deserve it?"Meng Jingtian was puzzled. "Are you kidding me? Don't you know what I'm capable of? I haven't done anything yet. How can I have so much money?"
...
"Go and take a look on the forum yourself!"! "These are only half of the profits from my video.". "Now that you're a famous person, you don't need to do anything. Just stand there and you'll be worth hundreds of millions of dollars,"Zhang Defa said with a smile.
One hundred million alliance dollars was not a small amount, but to him, it was not worth mentioning.
Chapter 42
In today's society, the poor, such as Meng Jingtian, relied on government subsidies because robots had replaced a large amount of labor.
The rich, such as Zhang Defa, relied on the accumulation of their ancestors and owned a huge industry. Up until now, they were still collecting wealth in all aspects of life and entertainment. Money was just a number to them.
The sudden appearance of money somewhat stunned Meng Jingtian.
He had also tried to use the game to earn money to supplement his life, but the most he could earn was a few thousand to tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of alliance dollars.
How long had this "Tomorrow"been in the game, and it actually brought him such a profit!
As expected, if you want to do it, then do it for the best!
At this moment, Meng Jingtian couldn't help but make up his mind. In the past games, although he did well, he was only a tall man among the short ones.
In the eyes of ordinary players, he was a god, and in the eyes of gods, he was just an ordinary player.
But now, he was itching to make a move and set his target on the number one player in the game!
Meng Jingtian opened the level ranking board and looked at Nangong Lin who was following closely behind him. His eyes were faintly burning with the flames of war.
Nangong Qi was already level 36, only one level lower than him. Moreover, the difference of this level was because he had just killed a boss!
As his level got higher and higher, the EXP needed to level up became more and more, and it became more and more difficult to level up.
However, since he had become the "Number one"throne, he could forget about chasing him down!
Meng Jingtian carried Stupa's saber and rushed out of the city without stopping. He was preparing to go to the black crow forest to level up. Once he leveled up, he would be able to explore the blood demon palace's stronghold.
However, when he reached the city gate, he could not help but be shocked.
Wang Sisi, who was wearing a light pink dress, was holding a signboard that she did not know where she got it from. The words "Meng Jingtian"were particularly eye-catching.
When she saw him appear, Wang Sisi immediately raised the signboard and shouted Meng Jingtian's name in surprise, "Meng Jingtian! Meng Jingtian!"
The corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched. Looking at the conspicuous sign in Wang Sisi's hand, a few black lines appeared on his forehead. Wasn't this too F * cking awkward in public?
Meng Jingtian wanted nothing more than to rush over to cover Wang Sisi's mouth and drag her away, asking her where she got this stupid thing.
However, before he could carry out his plan, with Wang Sisi's shout, a large group of players suddenly looked at Meng Jingtian in unison. Then, as if they had found their prey, they all rushed over.
Most of these players were female players with low levels, but there were also a small number of male players.
At this moment, they looked like fanboys from more than a hundred years ago. Their faces were full of excitement, and they bared their fangs and brandished their claws, screaming in alarm.
"This F * ck... a mob of demons is dancing!"The corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched. Looking at the players rushing toward him like a flood, he couldn't help but run away.
"Huff! Huff!"Meng Jingtian ran half of the city and panted heavily. Why did he feel like he was suddenly in the apocalypse, being chased by a large group of zombies?
"Boss!"In a private room in the Fragrant Pavilion, a group of killers from the Godslayer Hall who were discussing the assassination operation were also disturbed by the bustle on the street. One of the killers walked to the window and looked at it, then turned his head and shouted at ran Zai'an strangely.
"Bang!"Ran Zai'an took a look and was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand on the ground.
"Ding! System notification, you have damaged a teacup in fragrant pavilion, the system has deducted 100 gold coins!"
"Let him be proud, let's see how long he can be proud of himself! I don't know how many 'gods'like this I have seen, which one of them didn't die very soon?"Ran Zai'an said with a very unpleasant tone.
Ten years! He had once dreamed of making a name for himself in the game, so that everyone in the game knew his name. It took him ten years to achieve this.
Only then did he create the legend of the Godslayer Hall!
On what basis did this kid step on the Godslayer Hall in just a few days and become an existence that everyone in the game knew?
Ran Zai'an was undoubtedly jealous. Jealousy distorted him, and it might have also blinded him.
If Meng Jingtian knew what he was thinking at this moment, he would probably point his finger at his nose and jump up and down in anger.
Which F * CKING Eye of yours is looking at this labor and capital so pleased with themselves? This is clearly panic! Panic, okay?
"The player who placed the order is called Bai Wensheng, right? Guard him! I want him to stay in seaside city forever!"Immediately after, as if he knew that it was useless for him to lose his temper here, ran Zai'an ordered.
The few assassins looked at each other, and one of them reminded, "Isn't this bad? If this gets out, the reputation of Godslayer Hall will probably..."
"If it wasn't for him, how would Godslayer Hall come to this step? I placed the order and killed him! Is that enough?"Ran Zai'an said furiously. At this moment, he was purely venting his anger.
Meng Jingtian left the city through another city gate of black tortoise city. Secret messages kept ringing, and he had already blocked them.
Wang Sisi had no choice but to chase him from behind and shout, "Meng Jingtian, don't Run! We just formed a fan club for you."
"That's right! God, give me your autograph! Why are you running? We won't Eat You!"
"God, I don't want your autograph. This is the big blood medicine I made. Take it to level up!"
"God, do you want to come to us for help? There are a lot of beautiful women!"
Meng Jingtian smiled bitterly. Hearing the noise, his head was about to explode.
Sure enough, there were pros and cons to everything. Reputation brought him a lot of benefits, and there was also a lot of trouble!
"CAW — caw –"a terrifying Crow's cry sounded. Meng Jingtian relied on his outstanding agility attribute to successfully shake off the fan club behind him and rushed into the Black Crow Forest.
Immediately, the silence of the forest was broken. The fan club led by Wang Sisi was blocked outside by the corpse-eater Crow Monster group. With their level, they were still unable to farm a level 30 corpse-eater crow.
Meng Jingtian let out a sigh of relief and walked into the forest. He opened his friend interface and saw that there were only a few friends on it. Almost all of them had sent him a few messages.
Meng Jingtian only opened Cai Minghou's chat and saw that the message he sent was also about the video on the forum. He congratulated him on becoming famous.
Meng Jingtian laughed bitterly and replied, "Don't mention it! Looks like I'm going to disappear for some time. Do you think that Wang Sisi has nothing better to do? She formed a fan club for me and brought a large group of people to chase after me for Fun!"
"Big Celebrity, I'm very unfortunate to tell you that you have more than one fan club!"Cai Minghou quickly replied.
"There are already five of them on the forum alone!"
Meng Jingtian was stunned. "Didn't she just fight with seven kill and win? Seven kill is so powerful, but he has never been like this before!"
Meng Jingtian was very speechless and didn't understand.
...
Cai Minghou, on the other hand, understood and explained, "Seven Kill's reputation is also built up step by step. As a killer of the Godslayer Hall, he is usually elusive. There must be a lot of admirers, but it's not as exaggerated as you."
"You, on the other hand, are a nobody. It's natural for you to become so famous! Moreover, you didn't defeat seven kill, but the Godslayer Hall!"
Chapter 43
"I don't even dare to return to Liancheng now."Meng Jingtian smiled helplessly.
"I do have a way, but..."Cai Minghou hesitated for a moment before sending another message.
"What Way?"Meng Jingtian hurriedly asked.
"I saw a purple item at the auction house previously, the Dugu Mask. It can hide an ID, but it doesn't have any attribute bonuses."Cai Minghou replied.
"It's just that... I thought no one would buy such a useless item, but when I went to take a look just now, it was already bought by someone else." 𝑏𝘦𝑑𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"... you said it like you didn't say it!"Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes. He had given himself hope for nothing, so he might as well not say it.
"The item was bought by someone else, but at least we know there's such an item!"Cai Minghou reminded him.
Meng Jingtian was stunned. After a moment, his eyes lit up and he understood.
The game world was very big. The map that they could see now was already several times the size of Earth.
However, it was also very small. If they posted a message in the world channel, all the players in the entire mysterious dragon country could see it, not to mention the existence of the game forum that allowed players to communicate with each other.
It was not as difficult as he had imagined to find a tool!
"Then I'll have to trouble you to help me post a purchase message as soon as possible! The price is not a problem!"Meng Jingtian immediately asked Cai Minghou to help him find the tool.
With his current popularity in the game, his every move could cause a riot.
"No Problem! I promise to complete the mission!"Cai Minghou promised.
While chatting, Meng Jingtian soon arrived at the Blood Demon Palace's stronghold hidden in the depths of the Black Crow Forest.
In the dark forest, Wisps of mist filled the air, as if carrying a faint smell of blood. Accompanied by the Creepy Crow's cry from afar, it sent chills down people's spines.
Even though it was daytime in the game, this stronghold of the blood demon palace seemed to be in the dark.
[ outer disciple of the blood demon palace (level 45) : a disciple of the blood demon palace on guard. It seems like they are guarding something. ].
[ hp: 250,000]
[ skills: bloodthirsty demon technique, blood slaughter, blood bathing claw... ]
At this moment, Meng Jingtian could already see all the information of the monsters. The HP of the Monsters was not high at this level.
"God's punishment!"Meng Jingtian threw out a god's punishment and hit two monsters.
The two monsters instantly lost half of their health bar. They cried and howled as they grabbed at Meng Jingtian.
"Something 3757"
"Something 3594"
Two blood-red numbers appeared almost at the same time. Meng Jingtian was shocked.
As expected, the Monsters'health was not high, but their attack was not low.
He immediately used divine recovery to heal his health bar to full and killed one of them with a few more slashes.
"Ding! EXP + 75,000!"
The monster fell. The system notification showed that Meng Jingtian had obtained 75,000 EXP.
Meng Jingtian glanced at it and continued to kill the other monster in front of him.
However, he was not very satisfied. One monster only had 70,000 exp, and he needed 5,000,000 exp to level up.
In other words, he needed to kill 67 small monsters to level up.
He could kill two small monsters in a minute, and it would take him at least half an hour to kill these 67 small monsters.
Such a leveling speed might be considered fast for others, but for Meng Jingtian, it felt a little uncomfortable.
However, he had no other choice at this time. He could only mechanically farm the small monsters in front of him repeatedly.
The dead monsters would only respawn every half an hour. Moreover, there were not many monsters outside the blood demon palace's stronghold, further slowing down Meng Jingtian's leveling progress.
This was clearly not an excellent grinding spot. Taking advantage of the fact that the monsters had not respawned, Meng Jingtian logged onto the forum to find a new grinding spot.
However, his level was already far above ordinary players. He could grind level 45 monsters, while other players were still grinding level 20 to 30 monsters.
Even Bai Xiaosheng was made up of countless ordinary players. Even they didn't have the ability to search for level 40 monster farming spots.
Although he couldn't find the monster farming spots, Meng Jingtian saw that posts about him occupied almost the entire forum.
There were 15 posts on the front page of the forum, and 13 of them were about him!
Meng Jingtian laughed bitterly and continued to scroll down. Finally, after five pages, he found the message that Cai Minghou had just posted asking for the "Lonely mask"at a high price.
Unfortunately, other than a few nosy people asking why he was looking for this kind of useless equipment without attributes, there was no other valuable information.
Meng Jingtian could only return to the game and continue to "Slowly"level up.
This time, it took an entire afternoon. However, Meng jingtian only leveled up two levels, reaching level 39.
Just as he was about to go offline to rest, he suddenly heard a system announcement.
"Ding! System announcement: the Emperor of the mysterious Dragon Kingdom has opened a special martial arts test to select talents. From today onwards, all players who have reached level 30 can register to participate in the martial arts test at the government offices of various cities. The rewards are generous. I hope that all players will not miss this opportunity!"
"Martial arts test?"Meng Jingtian was stunned for a moment before he suddenly understood, "Isn't that just a one-on-one competition?"
Meng Jingtian smiled and logged off.
He was definitely going to participate in this combat examination. Even if it wasn't for the reward, he was still eager to try. He wanted to see how far apart he was from the top experts in the game.
After resting for a night, Meng Jingtian entered the game early the next morning.
Just as he went online, he heard a series of system notifications.
...
"Ding! Congratulations! Mission completed!"
"You have obtained a divine weapon: Neltharion Crown!"
"You have obtained a divine skill book: Burning Sky Fire!"
"You have obtained 100,000 gold coins!"
"Ding! Level-up successful!"
..
The series of notifications almost confused Meng Jingtian, but he immediately came back to his senses and opened the mission panel to take a look.
As expected, the main mission was completed! It seemed that the temple of cool breeze village had been completed. No wonder it gave so many good things.
The next main mission, however, required level 50 to accept.
Meng Jingtian stopped cultivating and retreated to the side to look at the rewards given by the mission.
Once the main mission was completed, he had risen to Level 42 with the experience from the mission. With this series of rewards, he felt confident that he could go to the blood demon palace to take a look.
...
[ Neltharion Crown (low-level artifact) : artifact crafted by master blacksmith Xu Zhenren with his dragon horn. ].
[ attributes: defense + 1,000, Spirit + 20]
[ additional skill: Dragon's roar of the nine heavens (active skill) : gives out an earth-shattering Dragon's roar, causing a 3-second stun effect on enemies within a 200-meter radius. It also has a debuff of fear, reducing all attributes by 5% . ].
Cooldown time: 8 hours."
As expected of a godly weapon! This attribute was simply heaven-defying in the early stages!
An AOE skill with a 200-meter radius! It was enough to ensure that Meng Jingtian could come and go freely within the "Army of ten thousand". Moreover, the cooldown time was not too long for the skills that came with the equipment.
Chapter 44
Meng Jingtian immediately took off the purple equipment on his head and replaced it with the Neltharion Crown.
Then, he took out the skill book. Because he had not entered the sect, Meng Jingtian's current skills were still the initial ones. This skill book was naturally very valuable to him.
He immediately learned this skill.
Burning Sky Fire (LV1) : the God summons flames, burning everything in the world.
Skill effect: every two seconds causes 80% of the spell damage to all living creatures within a 500-meter radius to burn. Lasts for two minutes.
Cooldown: 10 minutes.
Skill cost: 500 Mana points.
This was Meng Jingtian's first true aoe skill, and the range of this skill... could only be described as exaggerated!
As expected of a God's skill!
Meng Jingtian had also seen the guide posted by Bai Xiaosheng on the Forum, which listed the skills of the various sects that could be learned.
Almost all of the sects'aoe skills did not have a large range. Most of them only had a radius of a few meters, and some of them even had a limit on the number of people.
After learning the skill, Meng Jingtian used it on the small monsters wandering outside the blood demon palace.
The huge range of the skill instantly included all the monsters, and all the monsters rushed towards Meng Jingtian.
"1524"
The monster's skill, blood-soaked claw, was thrown at Meng Jingtian, but it only dealt over 1,000 damage to him. Compared to yesterday, it was like the difference between heaven and earth!
"Bzzt! BZZT!"Sounds rang out continuously. Meng Jingtian moved and dodged. A few seconds later, the monsters died on the ground and dropped some blue equipment.
Meng Jingtian did not even glance at them and walked into the blood demon palace. He was full of confidence at the moment.
As for the forgotten ring, it picked up the blue equipment as Meng Jingtian walked past.
"Creak..."the heavy and unadorned mahogany door that had lost its lacquer slowly opened. Meng Jingtian poked his head through the crack of the door and looked into the blood demon palace stronghold that looked like an ancient villa.
What entered his eyes was a wide and unadorned front yard that was in decline. On both sides of the road were two pitch-black trees that only had branches and branches. There was not a single monster, making it seem extremely desolate.
Meng Jingtian lifted his feet and walked in. The door of the villa behind him instantly closed automatically.
Meng Jingtian swallowed his saliva. Why did he feel like he was playing a horror game?
"Padah! Padah!"In the entire villa, only Meng Jingtian's footsteps echoed.
Meng Jingtian pushed open some of the doors to take a look, but they were all empty.
After a long time, Meng Jingtian had gotten used to the terrifying atmosphere here, but he began to wonder.
He pushed open seven or eight of the doors, but they were all empty. There wasn't a single monster. was this really the Blood Demon Palace's stronghold?
It shouldn't be. If it wasn't, then why were those blood demon palace outer court disciples loitering outside? What treasures were they guarding?
"Ah!"Just as Meng Jingtian was strolling around the mountain villa, he walked to the backyard. The floor tiles under his feet suddenly flipped over, and his feet fell down.
It was pitch-black all around. Meng Jingtian took out the usual torches from his backpack and found that this place seemed to be a tunnel.
This tunnel was obviously built by humans. The ground was still tidily paved with stone tiles, and there were a few candle holders nailed to the wall.
Meng Jingtian lit the candles on the wall and carefully walked along the tunnel.
After turning a corner, a small monster finally appeared in front of him.
Demonic Cocoon (level 48) : a righteous expert captured by the Blood Demon Palace. After being infected by the demonic demon, he will transform into a heavenly demon.
HP: 500,0
Skills: surge of demonic aura, chaos of heavenly demon, devour of demon..
"500,000 hp!"Meng Jingtian's eyes twitched. He was shocked. This was only a small monster.
"Divine punishment!"He immediately threw a divine punishment to test the waters. A number that shocked Meng Jingtian appeared.
"247,531"
A single skill had taken out more than 200,000 hp from the small monster!
This small monster, even though its HP was so high, Meng Jingtian had only taken out two skills.
Unfortunately, divine punishment had a cooldown time after all. Meng Jingtian could only use his stupa blade to kill this small monster.
As he continued to move forward, Meng Jingtian would encounter a heavenly demon cocoon every once in a while. 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Fortunately, with his current strength, this heavenly demon was just giving him experience. He only needed to spend a little time.
Soon, Meng Jingtian arrived in front of a stone room.
The stone room didn't have a door, but it was much wider than the treasure room at the back of the mountain of the frozen sword sect.
It was gloomy and dark, and white bones were scattered everywhere. Just as he walked to the door of the stone room, he smelled a stench.
A few empty iron cages were scattered in the wide stone room. A... No, a lump of unknown object was lying in front of a pile of white bones and eating something.
Meng Jingtian could not help but clench the stupa blade in his hand and move his feet, stepping into the stone chamber.
As soon as he stepped into the stone chamber, the thing shrouded in black gas seemed to have sensed something and flew up with a roar. Meng Jingtian only saw a pair of white bone claws clawing at his face.
"F * ck! Don't hit people in the face! Do you know the rules?"Meng Jingtian did not care about his image. He threw himself onto the ground and slipped into the stone chamber. He quickly got up and faced the boss with his blade.
Demon: Chen Aojun (yellow-gold boss)
Level: level
HP: 10,000,0...
Skills: Demon: Angry Slash, Demon: Violent Wind, Demon: Ao Xue Spear..
"Hiss"Meng Jingtian took a deep breath. 10,000,000 hp!
As both of them were demons, Chen Aojun's friendliness towards him was also zero. After all, demons and gods could not coexist. The demon that he had turned into would not give him any face.
Just like Mi Fei from before, Chen Aojun also took the initiative to attack.
Meng Jingtian wanted to test Chen Aojun's damage, but he did not Dodge. Instead, he let Chen Aojun hit him with a normal attack.
"Y7,589"
A four-digit damage number appeared. Meng Jingtian turned around and ran out of the stone room.
This kind of damage was not something that he could take on alone.
At this moment, Meng Jingtian's HP was barely over 50,000. This boss could deal 7,000 to 8,000 damage to him. He would die after five or six hits. Even with divine recovery, he would not be able to withstand it.
Moreover, if the boss had a lock skill or something, it would be even more troublesome. With a lock skill, he would definitely die instantly!
"Form a party?"After leaving Chen Aojun's attack range, Meng Jingtian frowned as he looked at Chen Aojun who was still glaring at him. He pondered.
...
He definitely could not solo this boss, so he could only form a party to fight it.
However, the average level of the top ten players on the level ranking list was only level 37. He really doubted whether he could form a party that dared to fight a level 50 boss!
It was annoying to have too much of a level lead!
But no matter what, he was not willing to give up without trying.
"Level 50 yellow-gold boss, requires level 35 and above, first-class Operation!"A message was sent to the world channel by Meng Jingtian.
Like a huge rock, it suddenly crashed into the calm lake, creating a huge wave.
Chapter 45
"You're not awake yet, are you? A level 50 yellow-gold boss? Why Don't you just ask the level 100 mythical beast to form a team?"
Immediately, some players sent messages without thinking and laughed at Meng Jingtian.
"No... Look, who is he!"Not long after, another player weakly reminded them.
"Who? In this period of time, who can F * cking kill a level 50 boss? I'll take off his head and kick it like a ball!"
"It's Meng Jingtian! Look, he's Level 42! is he really going to kill a level 50 boss?"
"Stop joking! The Monsters in tomorrow are F * cking strong. We can only kill a level 25 yellow-gold boss when we're level 30. He's not even level 50 yet. How can we kill a level 50 yellow-gold boss?"
In the world channel, countless players started to speculate and discuss. The messages flowed like water, making it impossible for people to see what the people in front of them were saying.
Meng Jingtian had no choice but to spend 1,000 gold coins to buy a world speaker, which could keep the messages on the chat channel for one minute.
Not long after, a team message popped up, and Meng Jingtian looked at it in surprise.
He didn't expect it to be Wang Sisi. Why was this woman so hard to shake off? !
The corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched, and his eyes were a little annoyed. He directly rejected her team application.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"Another party notification sounded. Meng Jingtian opened it to check their personal information.
After all, it was a level 50 yellow-gold boss. Meng Jingtian did not dare to casually party up.
"Name: Nangong Qi
Level:
Race: Human
Talent: domineering (increases attack on human characters by 10%)
Identity: Prince of the Dark Dragon Kingdom."
Nangong Qi? Meng Jingtian's eyes focused as he clicked on the more detailed equipment information.
A full set of top-tier purple equipment, plus three orange equipment. He was born in the royal family, so he had a huge advantage in the early stages.
Not to mention that he usually came into contact with high-level npcs, the quests he received were naturally not comparable to those quests in the villages.
With the identity characteristic of "Tomorrow", most npcs would even listen to his orders.
With such an overwhelming advantage, he would probably be an idiot if he was still like everyone else?
Of course, Meng Jingtian let Nangong Qi into the party. Even if his control was average, this attribute was enough to make up for those shortcomings.
"Is there really a level 50 yellow-gold boss?"Nangong Qi asked as soon as he entered the party.
"Of course, I'm not that bored to play with you guys."Meng Jingtian curled his lips and replied.
"Is it a wild boss? I'll bring some npcs. Two people can farm it!"Nangong qi asked again and suggested confidently.
"No, it's a quest boss. It's from a dungeon. npcs shouldn't be able to enter."Meng Jingtian sighed and replied.
It was good that he was born in the royal family. He could command a large number of npcs, but as a god, why did he have to fight alone?
"Send me the coordinates. Continue shouting!"Hearing this, Nangong Qi replied. 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢
In a short while, many people had already applied to join the team. Meng Jingtian sent the coordinates of the blood demon palace's stronghold to Nangong Qi and then continued to pick his teammates.
Name: Sun Yuxiao
Level:
Race: Human
Talent: Dao Body (exp reduced by 10%)
Identity: Sword Control Villa's young master.
"PFFT! There's such a talent?"Meng Jingtian looked at this person's information and could not help but exclaim in surprise.
This talent would only get stronger in the later stages of the game! After all, the higher the level, the more experience needed to level up. However, this person's talent could reduce the experience required to level up by 10% compared to ordinary players!
In the later stages of the game, this 10% experience was definitely a terrifying number.
"You are?"Meng Jingtian hesitated for a moment and sent a private message to ASK.
Actually, with this person's equipment and level, Meng Jingtian could have just let him join the team.
However, since he had this opportunity, why not take the opportunity to find out who these players on the level ranking list were?
"Sword Immortal! Are they qualified to join the team?"Sun Yuxiao asked confidently.
Seven-foot-sword immortal! Meng Jingtian's eyes lit up. So it was him!
The people on the level ranking list were indeed not ordinary players.
As the leader of the first gang, seven-foot-sword immortal had countless followers. He was indeed confident.
"Of course!"Meng Jingtian replied quickly and put him into the team.
This was also the first time that Meng Jingtian had come into contact with such a top-tier gaming god. He couldn't help but feel a little excited.
However, what made him even more excited now was that he was going to form a party made up of all the top-tier gaming gods in the game to farm the boss!
After Sword Immortal joined the party, Meng Jingtian continued to pick his party members.
Name: Mo Liyuan
Level:
Race: Human
...
Talent: devour (can absorb equipment and turn the corpses of wild monsters into experience points.)
Identity: Azure Dragon City's young city Lord.
..
The next few people were not as surprised as Nangong Qi and Sun Yuxiao. There were not many top-tier gods that Meng Jingtian had heard of before. Perhaps the gods had their own things to do!
However, those who dared to apply to join the party were still self-aware. Their levels were basically above level 36. Even if they were not top-tier gods, their strength should not be bad.
At the very least, the level of their equipment far surpassed that of ordinary players.
Not long after, Meng Jingtian formed a ten-man party and sent the coordinates in the party channel, waiting for them to arrive.
Meng Jingtian was waiting for them at the entrance of the underground passage in the Blood Demon Palace's stronghold. Entering the underground passage was the blood demon dungeon.
All the major cities had teleportation portal. Although the players themselves could not teleport directly, it would not take long for them to run over from black tortoise city.
Soon, a group of people gathered.
"Everyone is here? Then let's enter the dungeon. I'm in a hurry!"Nangong Qi glanced around. He didn't know if it was because of his identity or talent, but there was a sense of dignity between his brows.
...
For some reason, Meng Jingtian suddenly felt that this person looked familiar.
"Nangong, have you played 'Grand Desolation'before? You should be a god, right?"Meng Jingtian asked tentatively.
"I've played it before!"Nangong Qi smiled with satisfaction when he heard that. "That game, my luck isn't good. I Can't be considered a god."
"However, I didn't play it for nothing. I hooked up with a girl. That face, that figure! TSK TSK!"The dignity on Nangong Qi's face instantly disappeared, and his lecherous eyes revealed a bit of vileness.
"Hey, Old Meng! Tell me your secret training manual, and I'll introduce that girl to you. How about it?"Nangong Qi asked as he put his hand on Meng Jingtian's shoulder.
"There's no need. You Can't bully a friend's wife. Since that girl is already with you, I'm not interested."Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched as he pushed Nangong Qi's arm away.
He really didn't expect this guy to be such an unscrupulous person.
Hearing his words, Nangong Qi's expression was somewhat unnatural. He put down his hand embarrassedly and followed the team into the dungeon without saying a word.
Meng Jingtian looked at Nangong Qi's back and furrowed his brows, deep in thought. who was he?
"Playing games isn't just based on Luck!"Nangong Qi's style was clearly something that Sun Yuxiao couldn't get used to. He lightly scoffed.
Chapter 46
"Humph! It's not just luck, but at least 99% of it is luck!"Nangong Lin retorted.
"You... If that's the case, as the person with the best luck in this game, do you dare to fight me? Let's see if strength is more important or luck is more important!"Sword immortal sneered.
Meng Jingtian was instantly speechless. He didn't have the time to think about who Nangong Qi was. He stepped forward and tried to persuade him, "Enough, enough! Stop arguing! Both of you are gods. Aren't you letting others see you as a joke?"
"That's right! We're here to fight the boss. It's more important to fight the boss First!"The other teammates tried to persuade him as well.
Only then did the two of them glare at each other and continue to follow the team forward.
Meng Jingtian sighed inwardly. F * ck, this boss really did have to be solo.
Not only did they form a party to split the equipment, they even had to F * cking quarrel. I'm not a kindergarten teacher, so I still have to appease them one by one.
"This is the boss. The boss's damage is very high. Which one of you can tank it?"Everyone was an expert. The small monsters along the way were cleared in two moves. They came to the wide stone room again, and Meng Jingtian asked the party.
"I'll do it!"A few people in the party looked at each other. A person called Zuo Siming stood out.
Meng Jingtian looked at his equipment and estimated that his HP was around 100,000. He nodded and said confidently, "As long as you tank the monsters, we'll definitely be able to clear it!"
"That's right! If we can't clear it even if I'm here, I'm afraid that there's no one in this game who can clear this boss!"Nangong Qi crossed his arms and said when he heard that.
"Chi!"The sword immortal snorted. "If you're so capable, why don't you go solo and let us take a look?"
"Do you have to be so stubborn with me? Did I F * cking provoke you? Why Don't you go solo and let me take a look?"Nangong Lin frowned and said loudly.
"You didn't provoke me, but I just can't stand people like you!"The sword immortal glanced at him.
"Treating women as playthings, taking credit for your strength and being pretentious. It's as if the world won't spin without you."
"Okay, guys! Let's not talk about this, okay? Anyway, we're just going to farm a boss together. After that, everyone will go back to their own homes and find their own mothers. We Won't talk to each other anymore!"There was no other way.., meng jingtian, the "Kindergarten"teacher, still had to continue being a teacher. He tried to persuade the two of them.
"Brother Meng is right. We are still in a hurry to Level Up! Let's not delay!"Mo Liyuan also tried to persuade them.
"Open it! Open It!"Nangong Qi waved his hand and said.
Seeing that the sword immortal did not continue arguing, zuo siming walked into the stone room first. The Sky Demon, Chen Aojun, immediately rushed toward him. He pulled out a blood-red bone spear and stabbed it at Zuo Siming.
"3919"
A blood-red virtual number suddenly appeared. Zuo Siming was shocked and subconsciously took a step back.
"The damage is so high?"
Although his attribute points did not stack his constitution, his equipment had all defense attributes. Not only was his HP high, but his defense was also high.
This Bossa had 4,000 hp. If he attacked other players with normal damage output equipment, he would probably have 7,000 to 8,000 hp?
Meng Jingtian also frowned slightly. He had expected that the defense of a professional player with such a high level would be a little higher.
However, it was not a big deal. 100,000 hp would be enough for him to hold on.
"It's okay, we can fight!"Meng Jingtian comforted him.
"Flying Sword Immortal Slayer!"On the other side, although sword immortal no longer argued, he still seemed to be unhappy. He immediately threw a skill at the boss to vent his dissatisfaction.
The boss turned around and attacked Sword Immortal.
Sword immortal frowned and nimbly retreated. The Boss missed and was pulled back by Zuo Siming in a flurry.
"At your level, you're just lying on the ground, right?"Sword immortal curled his lips in dissatisfaction and asked Zuo Siming.
Meng Jingtian was also a little dissatisfied. To him, the damage output didn't matter. Anyway, he was enough. It would be a headache if the tankers dropped the chain.
Zuo Siming's eyes darkened. It was an insult to him to be despised by others like this.
He inadvertently glanced at Meng Jingtian, but for the sake of the "Mission", he had to bear the humiliation.
"Sorry! Sorry! I wasn't ready!"Zuo Siming quickly apologized with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, we have brother Meng, Boss Sword Immortal, and Nangong. They are all big shots, so they will definitely pass! Continue, continue!"Without waiting for Meng Jingtian and Sword Immortal to speak.., someone in the team tried to mediate the situation.
Besides, other than the person who spoke up to resolve the situation, the others also agreed.
Meng Jingtian suddenly felt that something was a little strange. Sword immortal and Nangong Qi were experts, yet one of them started to fight each other when they didn't like each other. When did these people become so harmonious?
Sword immortal also felt that something was wrong. His gaze moved between the few of them, and he seemed to be deep in thought. However, he didn't say anything.
With that, no one pursued the matter anymore. The group of people began to grind the monsters step by step.
As expected, the top God that had long been famous in the game was not given away for free. Sword immortal was very strong.
He had many skills, and his damage was extremely high. Moreover, he knew how to use his skills and general attacks to coordinate with his damage output, causing the greatest damage. He did not waste a single second.
As for Nangong Qi, although his control seemed ordinary to Meng Jingtian, with the stacked attributes of his equipment, even if he randomly threw a few skills, the damage would not be a joke.
With the addition of Meng Jingtian and the other expert players, even though the boss had a lot of HP, its HP was decreasing very quickly.
"Demon's fury Slash Thousand Army!"When the boss's HP dropped to 70% , it suddenly shouted loudly. It swung its long spear, and a half-moon-shaped air blade flew towards the boss at 180% .
The team members were all experts. Even though this was their first time facing this skill of the boss, and they did not have much experience, they quickly reacted and dodged it.
Unexpectedly, the air blades slashed out three times, but they didn't disappear in the air. They turned into countless small flying blades and attacked in all directions.
Everyone was slightly shocked, and they all moved to Dodge.
Meng Jingtian turned his body sideways and dodged several flying blades. However, the other team members all dodged them. Sword immortal was even more skillful, while Nangong Qi was unlucky.
Nangong Qi's reaction speed was too slow. He was hit by several air blades. It was all thanks to the super attributes of his equipment that he didn't die. However, he was only left with a health bar.
Meng Jingtian took a look and quickly threw him a divine recovery spell.
Although Meng Jingtian also despised this person's way of doing things, he was also one of the main forces fighting the boss at this time. He did not want to die in trouble.
"What? Your Luck did not allow those qi blades to avoid you flying?"After the skill ended, sword immortal ridiculed Nangong Qi while fighting the monster.
...
Nangong Qi's face was gloomy. He did not answer.
"Sword Immortal, pay attention to the Aggro!"Meng Jingtian reminded him. Zuo Siming really couldn't do it. The aggro of this boss had been on other people countless times.
Even Meng Jingtian didn't dare to use his full strength. He only used God's punishment and general attack, but he didn't use the burning sky fire that he just learned. Otherwise, the aggro would have been on him all the time.
Chapter 47
Just like that, the boss was worn down by everyone.
"11% !"Meng Jingtian stared at the boss'hp. According to the game system, when the boss'hp dropped to 10% , it would release another skill.
As long as he dodged this skill, the rest of the battle would not be difficult. 10% hp would be enough to kill the boss very quickly.
"Sky Demon — Blood Spear!"As expected, when his HP was reduced to 10% , the boss suddenly stopped moving. He suddenly raised the blood-red bone spear high up in the air and threw it at Zuo Siming, who had the highest aggro.
This was a lock-on skill. Zuo Siming could not dodge it, so he could only use a damage reduction skill to block it.
"185,421!"An exaggerated number suddenly appeared. Zuo Siming turned into a ray of white light and disappeared. He was actually killed instantly!
Even though Zuo Siming was instantly killed, Meng Jingtian did not panic. He cast a { God's punishment } on the boss and said, "Only a few hundred thousand hp left. One round of skills and you're dead. Keep Fighting!"
However, what he did not expect was that this level 50 yellow-gold boss was a little more troublesome than he had imagined.
When the boss'hp reached 10% , it did not release one skill, but two!
After the single-target skill "Sky Demon · Blood Spear", the boss released another "Sky Demon · Wild Gale Dance"!
This skill was an AOE skill. The boss spun around a few times, and a hurricane with the smell of blood started to spread around the boss.
The Boss had used this skill a few times before, so Meng Jingtian and the others had some experience.
This skill would cover the entire stone chamber. There was no way to avoid it, so they could only use their skills to block it!
Meng Jingtian did not have any damage reduction skills. Fortunately, his level was high and his attributes were good. Even if he did not use any damage reduction skills, he would not be killed instantly.
A hurricane blew past. Even though the members of the party had used their damage reduction skills in time, they were all severely injured. After all, the boss still had a level suppression effect on them.
Because Zuo Siming had died, Meng Jingtian was currently the number one aggro. After the boss finished casting its skills, it continued to attack him.
Meng Jingtian calmly healed himself. All he could see was the last bit of HP left in the boss.
"Now!"Just when Meng Jingtian estimated that sword immortal or Nangong Qi would only need to cast another round of skills to kill the boss, Mo Liyuan suddenly shouted and left the team.
Other than sword immortal and Nangong Lin, the other members of the party seemed to have heard the signal and gave up on the boss. They left the party and threw their skills at Meng Jingtian.
A small whirlwind rose from Meng Jingtian's feet and lifted him into the air. This was a crowd control skill!
The other members of the party threw their skills at Meng Jingtian, trying to kill him.
Because of the boss'skill, Meng Jingtian's HP was extremely low, and he was being controlled. Logically speaking, he would definitely be killed!
The eyes of the other party members were filled with excitement. This person who broke the myth of the Godslayer Hall would eventually die under their hands. The reputation of the Godslayer Hall could be renewed, and they would finally complete this mission!
These guys were really up to no good!
Anger rose in Meng Jingtian's heart. His reaction speed was unprecedentedly fast. He did not panic because of the sudden crisis. His thoughts were clear. At this moment, he was being controlled. Only the black tortoise true body could be used.
Therefore, he immediately used this skill without hesitation.
A few damage numbers appeared. Unfortunately, it was 0. Meng Jingtian's HP was still the same as before.
Seeing such an outcome, the other party members were calm. After all, they had been studying Meng Jingtian's information for a long time. Naturally, they knew that Meng Jingtian had this invincible skill.
Immediately, they methodically prepared the next round of control and attack skills.
However, how could the furious Meng Jingtian give them the chance to continue attacking?
"Roaring Dragon of the Nine Heavens!"In his rage, Meng Jingtian directly disbanded the party. The Neltharion Crown's additional skill was instantly used, and a Golden Dragon Phantom appeared. It coiled around Meng Jingtian's body and let out a long howl towards the sky.
Visible sound waves spread out in all directions, and the entire stone room, including sword immortal and Nangong Qi, was controlled.
Moreover, this control lasted for a full three seconds!
"Heaven-incinerating fire!"Meng Jingtian continued to use this aoe skill that he had just learned.
Sizzle Sizzle! A series of burning sounds rang out, and the entire stone chamber turned into a sea of fire.
At this moment, everyone was controlled by Roaring Dragon's nine heavens. They could not dodge it, nor could they activate their damage reduction skills. They could only watch as their HP decreased at an exaggerated rate.
"24,154"
"21,045"
..
A continuous damage skill. In the hands of Meng Jingtian, the damage dealt each time was even higher than the single-target skills of ordinary players!
"Shua! Shua! Shua!"When a skill was used, the players who attacked Meng Jingtian were instantly killed.
Along with the other players, Nangong Qi was also unlucky. Meng Jingtian instantly sent him back to the Resurrection Point.
After all, after the two skills of the boss, everyone was left with low HP.
They saw this opportunity and wanted to kill Meng Jingtian. Similarly, Meng Jingtian's one skill was enough to kill them. In fact, this group of experts didn't even have the time to use a skill.
In the end, only sword immortal and Meng Jingtian were left standing in the stone room. Sword immortal was worthy of being the leader of the first guild. He managed to cast an invincible skill in time and avoided death.
In the Sea of fire, the boss with hundreds of thousands of HP left continued to chase after Meng Jingtian.
Meng Jingtian Glanced at sword immortal. He didn't have any skills at the moment, and he didn't understand sword immortal's attitude. He sighed in his heart. It was a pity, but he didn't hesitate to leave the stone chamber and pull away the boss that was already at low health.
"Sigh! I wanted to be a boss, but I didn't expect to see a farce!"Sword immortal sighed and retreated to Meng Jingtian's side.
"Are we still fighting?"Then, he turned his head and asked Meng Jingtian.
"No Need!"Meng Jingtian sneered. Wasn't it just a party to fight a Boss? Why did he have so many tricks up his sleeve.
With the experience of almost defeating the boss, he was already confident. He just needed to call for a normal player who could tank monsters, and the two of them could fight.
"I made a wasted trip. It seems like I should go to Godslayer Hall and ask for some compensation."Sword immortal shrugged and turned to leave.
"Godslayer Hall?"Meng Jingtian was deep in thought. He had only thought of killing these people in his fury just now, but he had not had the time to think about their origins.
...
Now that he heard sword immortal mention it, it made sense.
In this game, the only one who could use such a lineup to deal with him was probably Godslayer Hall. 𝚋𝚎dnov𝚎𝚕.𝚌om
The few people that Meng Jingtian had let into the party just now had very good levels and equipment.
It was no wonder that when he opened the party application just now, he saw a series of applicants who met the requirements of "Expert".
They were all top-tier killers of Godslayer Hall. How could they not meet the requirements?
No Wonder Zuo Siming's level was so high that he could not even tank a monster steadily. How could a killer mainly play tank? Most likely, the attributes of his skills were not added in the direction of the tank. He had only temporarily gathered a set of equipment with a lot of HP.
Chapter 48
"What the hell do you mean! Kill me?"At this time, with a series of beeps, Nangong Qi sent a message to question.
Meng Jingtian shrugged. "Sorry, I don't know if you two are with them."
"Hehe, who do I need to be with? ! You Dare to kill me? We're not done today!"Nangong Qi threatened.
"As you wish!"Meng Jingtian frowned and replied impatiently.
What else did he want to do after explaining himself? He should be the one who was the angriest to form a group of assassins from Godslayer Hall, right?
"You... fine, fine, fine! Whatever you say, we will see!"Nangong Qi was stunned. He originally thought that Meng Jingtian would admit defeat and apologize to compensate him. However, he did not expect to receive such an answer. He threatened angrily.
Meng Jingtian ignored him. He looked at the boss that had recovered its full health again after the battle. He pondered for a moment and opened his friends list to search.
He did not have many friends, so he quickly found his target, Cheng Xiaojin!
Cheng Xiaojin was at most an elite among ordinary players. At this moment, he was only level 32. His level was far inferior to Zuo Siming.
"Are you free?"Meng Jingtian sent a message to ask.
"Ah!"
"Boss Meng! Am I seeing things? Boss Meng, you're looking for me?"Cheng Xiaojin exclaimed in surprise.
Meng Jingtian laughed bitterly and replied, "You're not seeing things. I want to ask you for a favor. Are You Free?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Boss Meng, if you want my help, you must have it!"Cheng Xiaojin replied hurriedly.
"Hehe! Boss Meng, if you want my help, I have to brag about it to others!"
"I sent you the coordinates. Come over!"Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched as he said directly.
In the past, he more or less wanted to be "Famous", but now that he was "Famous"by the Godslayer Hall, he felt a little uncomfortable.
While waiting for Cheng Xiaojin to come over, Meng Jingtian contacted Cai Minghou again.
"Monkey! Is there any news about that mask?"
"I've found him..."Cai Minghou stammered.
"Brother Tian, Wait a little longer. I'll get it for you soon!"Then, he said with certainty.
Meng Jingtian didn't think much about it. He only heaved a sigh of relief and said casually, "Alright, let's do it as soon as possible!"
"Boss Meng! What do you need my help for?"Not long after, Cheng Xiaojin also rushed over and asked with a smile.
"To kill a boss."Meng Jingtian said indifferently and brought him into the dungeon.
"No... No Way? I just saw you in the World Group killing a level 50 boss. My level is too low, so I didn't dare to do it. You Didn't find anyone?"Cheng Xiaojin looked at the level 48 monsters in the dungeon, he immediately shrunk his neck and asked with some confidence.
"They did find a group of killers from the Godslayer Hall."Meng Jingtian laughed bitterly and shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
"Then they..."Cheng Xiaojin was stunned and looked at Meng Jingtian in shock.
"They are sent back to the Resurrection Point!"Meng Jingtian narrowed his eyes and said with killing intent in his tone.
"I didn't expect them to disregard their principles. After killing this boss, I will go and settle the score with them!"
Cheng Xiaojin was speechless. After killing the boss, he will go and settle the score with them?
Big Brother, you have already sent them back to the Resurrection Point. How are you going to settle the score? Do you really want to kill them all and force them to retreat?
"Then, are we really going to kill this boss now? Two people?"Cheng Xiaojin looked at the boss in the stone room and could not help but retreat.
He really did not have confidence. He was only level 32. Normally, he would only farm level 25 or level 30 bosses with a large group of people. It would take a few hours of hard work to finish it.
Now that Meng Jingtian had told him that he needed two people to farm this level 50 yellow-gold boss, he had to admit that the gap was too big. He could not accept it!
"Can you be a little ambitious? Isn't it just a level 50 yellow-gold boss? Why are you shrinking?"Meng Jingtian smiled and slapped Cheng Xiaojin on the back.
"Isn't it just a level 50 yellow-gold boss?"The corner of Cheng Xiaojin's mouth twitched. "This boss won't kill me with one slap, right?"
"No way! Your HP is over 80,000, right? You can withstand it. At most, you'll die when it ends. But it doesn't matter, I can handle it!"Meng Jingtian said with certainty, he explained to Cheng Xiaojin about the boss'skills, mechanisms, and other issues.
Then, he extended his hand and gestured for Cheng Xiaojin to go in and start the monster.
"Then... Then you can't blame me for rolling over!"Cheng Xiaojin was still very unconfident. He turned around and said to Meng Jingtian.
In the end, he walked into the stone room.
The boss quickly rushed towards Cheng Xiaojin.
"3741"a damage number appeared. Meng Jingtian nodded. His prediction was right.
Although Cheng Xiaojin's equipment was not as good as Zuo Siming's set, his attributes were still in this area. In addition to his skills, he should be more stable than Zuo Siming.
"God's punishment!"
"Sky-burning Fire!"
Meng Jingtian began to attack without worry.
After all, only Meng Jingtian was attacking, so his speed was much slower than before.
Fortunately, Cheng Xiaojin could barely withstand the monster, and he was much more professional than Zuo Siming. The Boss'hp was steadily decreasing.
"70% ... 50% ... 30% ..."
Every time the boss released a skill, Cheng Xiaojin could not help but cry out loud.
There was nothing he could do. The Boss'damage was too high. Even before the boss used a skill, Meng Jingtian would remind him to use a damage reduction skill.
However, even if the boss used a damage reduction skill, it would still deal around 70,000 to 80,000 damage. This still made Cheng Xiaojin's heart skip a beat.
Several times, after the boss used a skill, Cheng Xiaojin only had a few hundred or a few thousand hp left. If the boss used another general attack, he would die.
...
At this time, Meng Jingtian's divine recovery skill would always land on Cheng Xiaojin at the right time and heal him back.
Even so, this time was too f * cking exciting!
If the boss'skill damage was a little higher, if he did not have time to use his damage reduction skill, he would be instantly killed!
Meng Jingtian's super high damage was also very attractive to the boss'aggro. Cheng Xiaojin had to focus on pulling the boss to prevent the boss from chasing after Meng Jingtian.
It could be said that to Cheng Xiaojin, taking down this boss was like being tortured in hell!
Not to mention that he had to focus his attention at all times, the critical points of each skill that came down one after another were too f * cking stimulating for his heart!
Compared to Cheng Xiaojin, Meng Jingtian was much more relaxed. He pressed the boss and beat it up. It did not take long for his 10,000,000 hp to reach the bottom.
"11% !" 𝓫ℯ𝓭𝓃𝓸𝓋ℯ𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
"Okay, last skill! Get Ready!"The boss only had 10% hp left. Meng Jingtian reminded him in advance.
Cheng Xiaojin's heart tightened. He was very nervous as he prepared the skill.
"Don't be nervous. You can die now. Come over later to distribute the equipment."Seeing that he was so nervous, Meng Jingtian reminded him with a smile.
...
"What?"Cheng Xiaojin's mouth twitched as he asked subconsciously.
"Sky Demon, Ao 'Xue Spear!"At this time, the boss'skill had already been thrown out. Cheng Xiaojin, who was almost at full health, was instantly sent back to the Resurrection Point.
Chapter 49
"God's punishment!"
"Sky-burning Fire!"
Meng Jingtian's expression was calm as he used the two skills that he had specially left behind.
"Something 204171" 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝙢
"Something 35104"
"Something 34914"
..
The boss only had 10% of his HP left. After these two skills were used, his HP was instantly reduced by another third.
"3514"
Because Cheng Xiaojin had died, the boss finished the two skills and started to attack Meng Jingtian.
However, because of his level and equipment, Meng Jingtian's defense was not low. Compared to Cheng Xiaojin and Zuo Siming, he just did not have that much HP. He could not withstand the first few skills of the boss.
At this HP, the boss would not use any more skills. With the divine recovery skill in hand, it was more than enough to withstand the boss'general attack.
About a minute later, as Meng Jingtian raised his stupa blade and used a general attack, the boss turned into a ray of colorful light and disappeared, leaving only a pile of equipment on the ground.
"Ding!"! Congratulations to player Meng Jingtian for leading his party member, Cheng Xiaojin, to successfully clear the blood demon dungeon. The level 50,35-man party dungeon "Blood Demon Dungeon"has been activated. All players may proceed to the Blood Demon Mountain Villa to challenge it!"
"F * ck... A 35-man party dungeon. No wonder this boss'skills are so freakish. It can even cast two skills consecutively!"Upon hearing the sudden announcement, Meng Jingtian almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
As expected of "Tomorrow", everything was so unpredictable!
Previously, Bai Wensheng had activated the dungeon system, but all the players had discovered was a 10-man party dungeon.
In this large-scale team dungeon, the "Blood Demon Dungeon"was the first one!
Moreover, before Meng Jingtian cleared the dungeon, there were no hints at all!
If it was to be judged as the most fraudulent game in history, "Tomorrow"was definitely worthy of it!
However, the exploration of the unknown, as well as the occasional "Small surprises", could be considered as one of the characteristics of "Tomorrow".
Just like a real world, wouldn't there always be endless unknown and surprises (surprises) ?
After a little surprise, Meng Jingtian began to count the equipment dropped by the boss.
Abyssal Blade Shield (orange) : one of the top-tier weapons in the collection of the Dark Dragon Kingdom's general Chen Ao's army.
Attributes: attack + 500, Defense + 500, Constitution + 30.
Passive: when dealing damage to wild monsters and boss units, the aggro gained will be increased by 50% .
"The one that adds aggro?"Meng Jingtian glanced at it. This thing was useless to him. He immediately used the party leader's authority to distribute this equipment to Cheng Xiaojin.
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Abyss Sword Shield (orange) !"
The sudden system notification made Cheng Xiaojin, who was running back, stunned. He was so excited that he could not control himself.
This was an orange equipment! And it was a weapon!
Although he had a few pieces of purple equipment on him, the weapon was still blue.
In "Tomorrow", there were some similarities with other games. For example, the equipment in the parts of the weapon and jewelry were always rare.
It could be said that this abyss-less sword shield was more precious than all of Cheng Xiaojin's equipment combined.
"Give... Give It to me?"Cheng Xiaojin asked in the party in disbelief.
Although this was the boss that he had fought the most tiring, Cheng Xiaojin was still self-aware. He knew very well that if it weren't for Meng Jingtian, he wouldn't even be able to touch this boss right now.
He could tank it, but any other player with a constitution and a lot of HP would be able to tank it.
The question was, how long could he tank it for?
If it weren't for Meng Jingtian's divine recovery skill that healed most of his HP, and if it weren't for the perfect control of his HP on the eve of every boss skill, as well as the meticulous reminder, he wouldn't be able to tank this monster at all.
If it were a normal team, if Cheng Xiaojin were to tank this monster, he would probably be killed in the first round of skills.
Cheng Xiaojin was indeed the one to tank the monster, but he knew that he was just a "Marionette"in Meng Jingtian's hands. Everything was done according to his instructions.
Although his HP was on the verge of dying, he actually succeeded in the end!
Cheng Xiaojin was also a practical person. He knew the situation of pushing the boss, so he did not dare to take credit. Not to mention such good equipment, he was already satisfied with being able to give him two pieces of purple equipment.
"Who else can I give it to? We are the only two people in this "Team"!"Hearing the announcement just now, Meng Jingtian knew that this guy was a large-scale team dungeon, so he teased him.
"Don't tell me you want me to Change Stupa's attributes to this?"Meng Jingtian immediately posted Stupa's attributes in the chat channel.
Cheng Xiaojin was speechless. Maybe this was the difference between him and a God?
Equipment that he didn't even dare to think about, people didn't even look at it!
"If it was put in the auction house, it could be sold for hundreds of thousands of gold coins..."Cheng Xiaojin weakly reminded him.
He wouldn't be rewarded for nothing. He still felt a little uneasy after taking such precious equipment for nothing.
"I don't lack hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Take it! See if these equipment are useful? I want this blueprint."Meng Jingtian had already counted all the equipment, he posted all the equipment on the chat channel and asked Cheng Xiaojin.
"Cough cough! Enough! Enough! This sword and shield is Enough!"Cheng Xiaojin didn't expect Meng Jingtian to be so generous, not only did he give him the best weapons and equipment that dropped, but he also asked him to choose other equipment. Without looking at the equipment, he quickly said.
Meng Jingtian smiled, but he still assigned some of the equipment that Cheng Xiaojin could use to him.
"Boss Meng, from now on, you are my boss! If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to hunt dogs, I will never catch chickens."Cheng Xiaojin was stunned for a long time, in the end, he was so touched that he didn't know what to say. He held it in for a long time before saying this sentence.
"Haha! Why should I tell you to hunt dogs and chickens? It's just a few pieces of purple equipment. Just take them and use them. This time, I want to thank you for helping me with the quest. This little piece of equipment dropped by the boss is really not that good."Meng Jingtian laughed straightforwardly, "It's fine.".
...
"Alright, I'm going to hand in the quest. You Go and do your thing!"Then, Meng Jingtian said his goodbyes.
"..."Cheng Xiaojin saw that Meng Jingtian was so relaxed and indifferent. He did not care about the equipment at all. He could not help but smile bitterly.
Just like that, he got a boss. He had changed more than half of his equipment. He was comparable to the elite members of the Big Gang.
"Boss Meng, Go and Submit Your Quest! That boss just now gave me a headache. I didn't dare to relax at all, so I went offline to sleep."Cheng Xiaojin smiled bitterly and shook his head, replying to the message.
"Boss Meng, since you're so straightforward, I have nothing to say. I'm definitely going to follow you as the boss! If you need any help, just say the word and I'll be there!"Then.., cheng Xiaojin was panting as he finally arrived in front of the dungeon. Outside the Blood Demon Mountain Villa, he patted his chest and promised Meng Jingtian.
"You don't have to be so polite. It's just a game. We're all friends!"Meng Jingtian smiled faintly and patted Cheng Xiaojin's shoulder, then turned around and left.
What boss, what brother? He didn't dare to casually recognize them now.
Chapter 50
After leaving Black Crow Forest, Meng Jingtian headed towards Black Tortoise city.
Qian Kun Monastery's Hidden Dragon Mountain was quite far from black tortoise city, and there was no teleportation portal. It would take too much time just to walk there. He still had to return to the city to get a horse.
However, when he reached the city gate, his expression froze. Wang Sisi and a group of "Brainless fans"were still waiting for him at the city gate!
He couldn't see them clearly from afar, but he could see that those people didn't seem to be tired of waiting. They even danced from time to time, exaggeratedly gossiping, and their laughter could be heard from far away.
"What the F * ck... are they here to play games or to chase after celebrities? I'm not a F * cking celebrity either!"Meng Jingtian couldn't help but Grumble, but he didn't dare to head towards the city gate.
Just as he said, he was not a celebrity. Perhaps it was because of this that he could not get used to being in the limelight. He could not get used to those crazy stars surrounding the Moon.
Moreover, in the current social situation, there were too many people who had nothing to do. The entertainment industry was developing at its peak. The craziness of those fans was far beyond anyone's imagination.
Meng Jingtian had also seen a piece of news. An entertainment celebrity was monitored 24 hours a day by perverted fans until they moved. Just thinking about it made him shudder.
"Monkey, did you get the mask you mentioned? Why Don't you tell me the other party's ID and I'll go talk to him?"Meng Jingtian thought about it, but he still didn't enter the city. Instead, he contacted Cai Minghou.
At this point, he only wanted to reduce his presence.
"I got it! Where are you? I'll send it to you right away!"Cai Minghou quickly replied.
"... outside the city!"Meng Jingtian sent his coordinates.
"Oh right, get me a horse!"Meng Jingtian reminded him.
No one had ever gotten a pet or a mount in "Tomorrow". Meng Jingtian didn't want to let an ordinary horse take his place. Who knew if he could cancel the contract?
Without signing the contract, he couldn't always bring a horse with him. He could only look for it when he needed it.
"No Problem!"Cai Minghou replied without thinking.
A horse that was worth a few hundred gold coins wasn't difficult for him, the second young master of the Golden Goose Escort Agency.
This was the convenience brought by the unique identity play method in tomorrow. Other than having the system God's restrictions on certain matters, Cai Minghou was like the real second young master of the Golden Goose escort agency in other aspects, he could mobilize a lot of resources.
After waiting for a few minutes, Cai Minghou rode out on a horse and saw Meng Jingtian who was hiding in a small forest outside the city.
"Brother Tian, why are you acting like a Thief?"Seeing this, Cai Minghou couldn't help but laugh and tease.
"There aren't so many people who want to catch a thief!"Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes and took a human skin mask from Cai Minghou.
As it was a virtual game with 99% realism, the interaction between the characters and the data was synchronized and intelligent. One could use the system's functions to make transactions with the players, or trade freely like in daily life, the system's data would be synchronized automatically.
As soon as Meng Jingtian took the human skin mask, the mask became his property, and all the attributes were revealed at a glance.
Lone Mask (purple) : a hundred years ago, there was a person who was proficient in disguising himself. He often changed his identity and wandered the world, but no one knew his name and true appearance.
Attributes: none
Passive: wearing this mask, you can change your appearance, body, and name.
Meng Jingtian immediately put on the mask.
"Ding! Please enter your disguising name!"
"Ding! Please adjust your disguising figure!"
..
After some setting, Meng Jingtian had already disappeared and was replaced by a player named "Shi Lezhi".
Not only was his name different, even his appearance was completely different.
If one had to use two words to describe "Shi Lezhi", it would probably be "Ordinary"!
A standard passer-by's face, a standard passer-by's height, a figure that was neither thin nor fat, it was almost enough to be an "Invisible person".
This was the effect that Meng Jingtian wanted!
"I didn't expect a piece of purple equipment to be so awesome. I Can't see my original appearance at all!"Meng Jingtian looked at his virtual projection on the data panel and said with a sigh.
"Tian 'Ge, aren't you going too far? Not to mention those brainless fans, I can't even recognize you!"Cai Minghou's mouth twitched as he said.
Even if he wanted to transfer, there was no need to transfer him to such a passerby level, right?
"Don't call me brother Tian. Please call me... Shi Lezhi!"Meng Jingtian raised his hand slightly and said to Cai Minghou with a serious expression.
"... I think you've really lost your mind!"Cai Minghou was speechless and rolled his eyes.
"Since the items have been delivered, I'll Go Level Up!"Following which, Cai Minghou waved his hand and prepared to leave.
Previously, he had been locked up in a small dark room, so his level had fallen behind many ordinary players. However, now that he had caught up, he was level 29, which was considered above average among ordinary players.
"Wait!"Meng Jingtian called out to Cai Minghou.
"How much? Did you buy it with Alliance coins or gold coins? I'll transfer it to you!"
"... There's no need!"Cai Minghou hesitated for a moment before waving his hand.
"Brother, you don't want to owe me anything, and I don't want to owe you anything either. How much is it? I'll pay it myself!"Meng Jingtian frowned slightly and said.
This wasn't a separation, it was purely because he didn't want to take advantage of his friend. Although this Dugu mask didn't have any attributes, the grade was there. Early-stage purple equipment wasn't cheap!
"Sigh — there's really no need! This isn't a matter of money..."Cai Minghou said as he shook his head.
Seeing that Meng Jingtian was somewhat puzzled, he smiled sheepishly and continued, "Let me put it this way!"
"When I found that kid, he knew that I was in a hurry to use this thing. He offered me an exorbitant price, and I was momentarily angry..."
"Then, I killed that kid. This mask... came out alive."
After hearing Cai Minghou's words, the corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched. As expected of the monkey he knew. This temper... really had not changed at all!
He had killed him more than once!
...
"Good for you! Just don't get yourself into trouble again!"After a moment of speechlessness, Meng Jingtian patted Cai Minghou on the shoulder and said.
"Then I'll hand in my quest."Then, the two of them parted ways and went their separate ways.
Meng Jingtian rode his horse and rushed all the way to Qian Kun monastery.
Just as he rushed to Qian Kun monastery to hand in his quest, Meng Jingtian, who originally wanted to reduce his presence, once again became popular on the forum.
Level 50 team dungeon? What a joke! The average player was only level 27 or 8 Now! What the hell was a level 50 team dungeon!
There were also careful people who discovered that Meng Jingtian had called for a level 50 boss in the world to open a team, but in the end, for some unknown reason, he only fought the dungeon with Cheng Xiaojin, who was in the announcement?
Who Was Cheng Xiaojin? 𝒷𝓮𝒹𝓃ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Thanks to Meng Jingtian, the originally unknown Cheng Xiaojin instantly became "Famous". After all, he had accompanied Meng jingtian on "Television".
The two of them had fought in a level 50 team dungeon!
Shock and curiosity made the onlookers push Meng Jingtian's popularity to the peak once again.
If it was just a competition of Fame, then those sword immortals and drunkards could not be compared to him at all.
...
Chapter 51
When he arrived at Qian Kun monastery, it was as if he knew that he would come. A crane was already waiting there.
Meng Jingtian dismounted his horse and walked over. He skillfully climbed onto the crane and once again enjoyed the feeling of flying in the clouds.
He thought to himself, I must find a flying mount in the future!
It was at the stone platform in the clouds that Meng Jingtian met Master Tian Ying Zi once again.
"Master Tian Ying, I have completed the Quest!"Meng Jingtian walked forward and placed the quest items that were dropped from the boss in the demon blood dungeon in front of Master Tian Ying.
"It really is the demon blood dungeon! The world is about to fall into chaos!"Master Tian Ying looked at the two items and said with a heavy face.
"Ding! Congratulations! The quest has been completed!"
"Ding! You have obtained a special item 'Destiny Dice'(orange) !"
'Ding! You have obtained a special item, 'Divine Academy's admission notice'(God-tier) !'
After Master Tian Ying's 'acceptance', Meng Jingtian's quest was considered completed. Under the system's prompt, master Tian Ying handed over two rewards to him.
Dice of Destiny (special item) orange: mysterious origin, dice that carries destiny, can bring good luck to people. 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶
[ attributes: Luck + 10]
[ passive: when HP is below 10% , judgement will be triggered. Dice with more than 3 random points will recover all HP corresponding to the percentage of HP. If HP is below 3 points, the remaining HP corresponding to the percentage of HP x 10 will be reduced. ].
[ this effect can be triggered once every 10 minutes. ].
[ deity academy admission notice (God Rank-RRB- : an invitation letter fDeityeAcademydemy. ].
Attributes: none.
Passive: Using this admission notice, you will be able to summon an envoy from Shen Ming Academy and become a member of Shen Ming Academy.
Usage restriction: it is restricted to the Celestials.
Meng Jingtian placed the two items into his backpack. Master Tian Ying summoned the boy with a heavy expression. He took a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Meng Jingtian, he said, "Please do me a favor and send this letter to the Emperor of the Black Dragon Kingdom, Nangong Hao!"
"Ding! Letter Delivery (3) : Master Tian Ying of the Qian Kun Monastery asks you to send a letter to the emperor of the Black Dragon Kingdom!"!
Mission time limit: 3 days
Mission Reward: merit + 10,000. Title: Righteous Swordsman (purple) !"
From the beginning when he was concerned about the world to the present, this was a series of missions. It seemed that this matter was not over yet. Master Tian Ying gave him the next mission.
Since it was a chain mission, there was no reason to give up halfway. Meng Jingtian accepted it without hesitation.
Then, master Tian Ying began to chase him away again. "This matter concerns the people of the world. The situation is urgent. I hope that little friend will deliver the letter as soon as possible."
Meng Jingtian shrugged and left the Heavenly Dao temple with the letter.
Not long after, a player named "Shi Lezhi"swaggered among all the ordinary players and walked into black tortoise city.
Meng Jingtian did not directly go to the deity academy to learn skills because he still had things to do.
Revenge on the Godslayer Hall!
If not for their interference, his mission would have been completed long ago. Why would he need to ask Cheng Xiaojin for help?
In fact, Meng Jingtian himself was not very clear. Was it because of the entanglement in this game, or because he was still concerned about the matter of being forced to quit the game by the Godslayer Hall in the previous game.
In any case, he was very displeased with this organization. Did the game also need assassins? Did they need assassins who forced ordinary players to quit the game just for some money?
If it was just after the last seven kill, Godslayer Hall had admitted their failure, admitted that their myth had been destroyed, and apologized to him, Meng Jingtian might have let them go.
However, they didn't. Instead, they continued to organize people to assassinate him. They gathered a bunch of killers without any principles and sneaked into the team to assassinate him.
At this moment, Meng Jingtian's thoughts changed. He was no longer satisfied with just destroying the myth of the Godslayer Hall. Instead, he wanted to make this organization disappear from the game!
Although he had this thought, Meng Jingtian did not immediately take action. Instead, he logged off first to recover his energy.
There had been enough things happening today. Playing this kind of virtual game consumed a lot of spirit. To put it bluntly, he was tired.
On the other hand, some of the skills that came with the equipment had a long cooldown time. The skills that he had used previously had not recovered.
Even though Godslayer Hall had suffered many losses under his hands, a lion still had to do its best to catch a rabbit. Moreover, there was no gap between him and Godslayer Hall.
Naturally, he had to recover his condition and then talk about taking action.
The next morning, Meng Jingtian logged into the game. He was still in black tortoise city, ready to find Bai Xiaosheng to buy information.
When he walked to the door of the Fragrant Pavilion, he couldn't help but pause. He was now "Shi Lezhi."If he used this identity to buy information about Godslayer Hall, he would probably be guessed.
After thinking for a while, he first walked into a deserted corridor in the Fragrant Pavilion. He took off his lonely mask, changed into Meng Jingtian's identity, and then came to the fragrant pavilion's Horizon Hall.
Because he didn't have an "Appointment"in advance, there were other people in front buying information. Meng Jingtian followed behind a group of players and waited in line. After more than ten minutes, it was his turn.
"What information do you want to buy?"The waiter behind the table typed out a private message. The private message was only accessible to the other party, so as to prevent others from hearing it.
Bai Xiaosheng was in the information business, so he valued confidentiality very much.
"Godslayer Hall,"Meng Jingtian replied.
The waiter on the other side was shocked. Although he had already guessed when he saw Meng Jingtian, he was still a little shocked when he heard this answer.
Godslayer Hall had always been high-profile, broadcasting the progress of the mission. In fact, after seven Kill's failure, the live broadcast post was never updated.
The matter of a few assassins sneaking into Meng Jingtian's team and attempting to assassinate him was naturally not exposed by Godslayer Hall. Otherwise, it would be another blow to Godslayer Hall's prestige and reputation.
But even so, there were still outsiders around, Nangong Qi and Sword Immortal.
Ordinary players might not be able to hear anything from the two of them, but Bai Xiaosheng had his own secrets. This matter could not be hidden from their eyes and ears.
Therefore, the waiter in front of him knew about this matter. When he saw that Meng Jingtian had come to buy the Godslayer Hall again, he thought to himself, "This time, the Godslayer Hall has attracted a lot of trouble. They will not rest until they die!"!
...
A lot of trouble? What was a lot of trouble? In the past ten years, the word "Trouble"was completely unfamiliar to the Godslayer Hall. It was not even in its dictionary.
But now, Meng Jingtian was a big trouble to the Godslayer Hall!
"What news do you want to buy from the Godslayer Hall?"The waiter calmed himself down, suppressed the gossip, and continued to ask Meng Jingtian in a formulaic manner.
"I heard that the Godslayer Hall has top-tier assassins and a-rank assassins. I want the names and coordinates of all their top-tier assassins!"Meng Jingtian replied.
Chapter 52
"The list and coordinates of the top assassins, this price..."the waiter hesitantly raised his head and glanced at Meng Jingtian.
"How much?"Meng Jingtian smiled and asked.
"Ahem, this little one doesn't have the final say. Please wait a moment, I'll ask the boss."Seeing that he didn't care about the price, the waiter said embarrassedly.
Two minutes later, the waiter seemed to have finished asking, but his expression was a bit strange.
"What did your boss say?"Meng Jingtian glanced at him with some confusion and asked.
"The boss said... It's free!"The waiter answered with a strange expression. 𝒷𝓮𝒹𝓃ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
"Free?"Meng Jingtian was stunned. Although the myth of the Godslayer Hall was destroyed, it was still considered the number one assassin organization in the game. Even if there was only one information about the core characters, Bai Xiaosheng's price was usually not low.., he wanted the list and coordinates of all the top-tier assassins, how could it be free!
What exactly was Bai Xiaosheng planning?
"Only, the boss wants you to give us a video of you killing the Godslayer Hall Assassins."As expected, there was no free lunch in the world. The waiter then made the request of "Bai Xiaosheng.".
However, even though there was a request, it also showed that in the eyes of Bai Xiaosheng's boss, there was no doubt that Meng Jingtian could kill the top killers of Godslayer Hall for revenge.
"Okay!"There was nothing to hesitate about. After all, he had nothing to lose. It would cost a lot of money to buy the information of all the top killers of Godslayer Hall. He had to save as much as possible!
"We will send you the updated coordinates every half an hour,"the waiter informed him when he saw that he had agreed.
"Why is it that the last time was ten minutes, and now it takes half an hour?"Meng Jingtian frowned and asked.
"Last time, you only bought the location of the killers near the Black Tortoise City in the Godslayer Hall. Most of them are low-level killers, but the real-time coordinates of the top-tier killers are not so easy to get,"the waiter explained.
"Okay!"Meng Jingtian sighed, stood up and walked out.
The coordinates of half an hour might not be so accurate. By the time he got there, they might have already left.
However, even "Bai Xiaosheng"could only do so much, let alone other people. This was also his only choice.
Not long after he left fragrant pavilion, the waiter of "Bai Xiaosheng"sent him the first coordinates in the secret chat.
Meng Jingtian glanced at him, picked the coordinates of the person at the front, and rushed over.
This assassin was not involved in the assassination of Meng Jingtian. When Meng Jingtian found him, he was in the middle of a mission.
Although the reputation of the Godslayer Hall was greatly damaged because of Meng Jingtian, as a huge assassin organization, it was still possible to receive some other missions.
Moreover, it was precisely because of Meng Jingtian that ran Zai'an did his best to accept more missions, so as to redeem the reputation of the Godslayer Hall from others.
The Godslayer Hall was still the same Godslayer Hall. The series of missions that were accepted later were all perfectly completed by the killers of the Godslayer Hall.
Apart from this one that was the first to be accepted, the first one in "Tomorrow"was Meng Jingtian!
Unfortunately, although Godslayer Hall had completed so many quests perfectly, Meng Jingtian was the only one who had failed.
However, it was still useless to restore Godslayer Hall's reputation. The players only saw their failure. After all, the current Meng Jingtian was too popular in the game.
Any player who had just entered the game could casually say this name and say, "I know him!".
The assassin had just attacked his mission target. When he discovered Meng Jingtian who had appeared nearby, he panicked. However, before he could say anything, he was sent back to the Resurrection Point by Meng Jingtian with two consecutive skills.
Looking at the assassin who had turned into a white light and disappeared, Meng Jingtian did not say anything. He turned around and rushed to the nearest resurrection point.
He wanted to seize the opportunity before the assassin left to block him at the Resurrection Point and empty his equipment and level.
This was a game. No matter how powerful a person was, they had to have the support of their level and the attributes of their equipment in order to be powerful.
If all the level and equipment of the top-tier assassins were emptied, then Godslayer Hall would truly be in decline. It would no longer be the decline of its reputation, but the decline of its reputation from the inside out!
"Wait!"At this moment, the player who had been assassinated by the assassin called out to Meng Jingtian.
"You're that... that Meng Jingtian? Thank you for your help!"The player named Feng Chenghao said somewhat excitedly.
"UH, I am!"The corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched. Could it be that he was another "Brainless fan"?
He sized up Feng Chenghao. This Feng Chenghao's level was not low. He was level 39 and wore a white robe. He held a three-foot-long blade in his hand. His temperament was upright and magnanimous, like a hero from ancient times.
To be targeted by a top-tier killer of the Godslayer Hall, he should not be an ordinary player. He should not be a fan like Wang Sisi who played games and did nothing.
"Are you hunting the Godslayer Hall Killer? Are you going to repeat the incident in Black Tortoise City?"Feng Chenghao asked curiously, he did not take the assassination incident to heart. He did not know if he was crazy or did not care at all.
"Hunting?"Meng Jingtian was slightly stunned, then he smiled, "That's right, hunting!"
"How about adding me?"Feng Chenghao said with a bright smile.
"You?"Meng Jingtian hesitated for a moment. He had never thought of finding someone to take revenge on the Godslayer Hall with him.
"I'm also a victim. It's not too much to take revenge on them with you, right?"Feng Chenghao said with a smile.
His smile was as bright as ever, but his tone sounded a little fierce.
"Okay!"After a moment of hesitation, Meng Jingtian sent a party invitation and agreed to Feng Chenghao's request to take revenge on Godslayer Hall.
With his own strength, even if the Godslayer Hall assassins sneaked into the party to kill him, he was not afraid of similar incidents happening again.
"Who wants to kill you?"On the way to the Resurrection Point, Meng Jingtian asked curiously.
"Who knows? I've offended too many people."Feng Chenghao still had a calm smile on his face as he shrugged.
"He's not here. could he have left already?"When he came to the vicinity of the Resurrection Point, Meng Jingtian frowned slightly and prepared to search nearby.
"Beep!"A notification sounded. He received a private message.
"Zhao Yue has gone offline!"
It was from the waiter of "Bai Xiaosheng".
Meng Jingtian laughed bitterly and glanced at Feng Chenghao. "He has gone offline!"
"What a pity!"Feng Chenghao sighed. Then he turned his head and asked Meng jingtian, "What? Are we only going to hunt this one assassin this time?"
...
"Of course not!"Meng Jingtian narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Then the next one! With me here, I won't let them escape so easily,"Feng Chenghao said confidently.
Chapter 53
"Aren't you going to wait at the Resurrection Point? Someone will run away again later!"When he arrived near the coordinates of the next assassin, Meng Jingtian couldn't help but frown and ask Feng Chenghao, who was still following him.
"No! I've already placed the formation plate over there just now. Don't Worry!"Feng Chenghao patted his chest and promised confidently.
"It's not here. Let's split up and look for it! Anything can happen in half an hour. Perhaps he has already gone to do other things. We can only look for the next one first."When they arrived at the coordinates.., meng Jingtian shook his head and said. He did not see the killer on the list who should be here.
"As long as he has been here, it's impossible for him to escape from us!"Feng Chenghao said confidently.
Then, he took out a yellow paper the size of a palm and folded it into a paper crane.
He let go of the paper crane and it flew up to the small city where they had just arrived by the teleportation portal.
"What skill is this?"Meng Jingtian asked curiously.
"Sect skill, paper crane to find people,"Feng Chenghao answered as he followed the paper crane.
Then, he couldn't help but grumble, "I accidentally joined a hidden sect called some mysterious yellow temple. I thought this hidden sect would be awesome. Most of the F * cking skills are support skills!"
In the end, the paper crane brought the two of them to the teleportation portal in the city.
"Could it be that he has already left in the teleportation portal? Looks like we have to wait for the next coordinates. Let's go find someone else!"Seeing this, Meng Jingtian said helplessly.
The coordinates that were set once every half an hour were indeed not accurate enough.
Feng Chenghao chuckled. The paper crane suddenly burned and transformed into a streak of flame as it entered the teleportation portal.
"He went to Paradise City!"Feng Chenghao said with a smile.
"This skill of yours..."Meng Jingtian was a little surprised. Initially, he thought that he would only be able to find it in a nearby area. He did not expect that someone else would be able to find it through the teleportation portal.
One of the reasons why there was a teleportation portal between the cities of the mysterious dragon country was because the game map was very wide. The distance between the cities was very far, and there might even be high-level monster areas. Players would not be able to quickly travel between the cities. 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"I've said it before. As long as he has been there, he won't be able to escape from US unless he goes offline. As long as he's still in the game, he can be tracked even if he's at the ends of the Earth,"Feng Chenghao explained.
"Although it's just some support skills, the effect of this skill is pretty good."
Ten minutes later, with Feng Chenghao leading the way, Meng Jingtian found the killer who was handing in a quest in another city.
"Divine punishment!"Without giving the killer a chance, Meng Jingtian ignored the fact that he was in the city's safe zone and used divine punishment to instantly send him back to the revival point.
Not every top-tier assassin in Godslayer Hall had an invincible skill.
"Ding! Your teammate wishes to activate the teleportation skill and teleport you to the Resurrection Point in Paradise City. Do you agree?"
Just as Meng Jingtian was about to instantly kill the assassin, he suddenly heard a system notification. He could not help but glance at Feng Chenghao in surprise. was this the function of the formation plate that he was talking about?
Teleportation portal had always been available only in system cities. This single teleportation skill was truly unique in the game!
The hidden sect that Feng Chenghao was ridiculing did not seem to be that simple!
"Agreed!"Suppressing his curiosity, Meng Jingtian immediately chose to agree.
In the next second, he appeared at the Resurrection Point almost at the same time as the assassin.
The assassin who had just resurrected looked at Meng Jingtian who had suddenly appeared in front of him. He summoned the system and prepared to go offline.
Unfortunately, after the previous training of guarding the corpse in Black Tortoise City, Meng Jingtian was now quite experienced. His reaction speed was faster than this assassin. He pulled him into battle mode with one slash and killed him again with a few more slashes!
"It's Meng Jingtian! Look! Who Is he guarding?"
"It's the assassin from Godslayer Hall!"
"F * ck! Is this still not over? Didn't black tortoise city clear out a lot of assassins from Godslayer Hall last time?"
"Hey! That's old news from hundreds of years ago! Don't you know? Bai Xiaosheng even posted that Godslayer Hall has formed another group of killers to infiltrate Meng Jingtian's Party to kill him, ruining this boss fight."
"That's A level 50 boss! I heard that it's about to be taken down, and the killers from Godslayer Hall suddenly attacked! If it were me, I would also fight to the death with Godslayer Hall!"
"Tch! You think you can fight the Godslayer Hall to the death? Do You Think You're Meng Jingtian? If the Godslayer Hall doesn't come looking for trouble with you, just be happy!"
"But, this Godslayer Hall is really courting death! If we can't even kill seven kill, then we can just admit defeat and admit defeat. We can discuss how to get over this matter! We still have to hang in there!"
Although it was just a small city, many players came to watch the show when they heard the news. They pointed and discussed animatedly.
"Meng God! Give me an autograph!"
"Meng Jingtian! I want to give birth to a monkey for you!"
..
The discussions were still considered good. There were even some crazy "Brain-dead fans"who shouted loudly and squeezed forward.
"F * ck!"Meng Jingtian had a headache. Giving birth to a f * cking monkey was like giving birth to a human! But he couldn't give birth to that thing!
"UH... it's really not easy to stand with a God like you. All the saliva is on my face!"Beside him, Feng Chenghao laughed bitterly and joked.
They had only killed this assassin twice, but Meng Jingtian and Feng Chenghao were already completely surrounded by the fans. They were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they pounced on them. It was really quite terrifying.
"Feng Jin, nonsense!"The corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched. He could only give up on the corpse-guarding plan. Instead, he rushed toward the teleportation portal not far from the Resurrection Point outside the crowd.
"Sigh –"Feng Chenghao shouted.
However, Meng Jingtian had already rushed out of the crowd with great difficulty. He stood in the teleportation portal and left.
After Meng Jingtian left, Feng Chenghao shook his head and muttered, "I put array disks in several cities. I have to go to the teleportation portal."Then, he teleported himself away.
The assassin from Godslayer Hall who had just been resurrected was dumbfounded. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He would never have thought that he would be saved by Meng Jingtian's fans in the end.
Following that, Meng Jingtian and Feng Chenghao found trouble with a few more killers, but all of them were disrupted by the fans.
The current Meng Jingtian was like a glowing body. Wherever he went, there would be a large number of brainless fans chasing after him.
However, since he wanted to kill a top-tier killer from Godslayer Hall, his skills couldn't be hidden. If it was Shi Lezhi's identity, he would only be implicated and his identity would be exposed.
This made Meng Jingtian very distressed and angry. was there any creature in the world that was more terrifying than the fans?
...
No!
On the other hand, Feng Chenghao, after being besieged by fierce fans repeatedly, had an idea. He reminded Meng jingtian, "You are so famous now. Why do you have to do it yourself to deal with Godslayer Hall?"
"What do you mean?"Meng Jingtian still had lingering fear for those fans. Whenever he mentioned the fans, he would have a headache. He asked casually.
"Our goal is to destroy Godslayer Hall so that their assassins are no longer able to carry out the mission. There's more than just keeping the corpse clean!"Feng Chenghao said with a cunning smile.
Chapter 54
"What else can we do?"Meng Jingtian asked. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟el.𝚌o𝚖
Feng Chenghao smiled smugly. If he were to wave a feather fan in his hand twice, he would probably think of himself as Zhuge Kongming.
"It's just to make them unable to complete the mission. It's very simple. Your fans can do it."
"The fans are so crazy. Why should we let them vent their energy on chasing you? We might as well find something for them to do. Let them vent their craziness on the Godslayer Hall!"
Meng jingtian nodded thoughtfully. "You mean..."
"That's right! Why are we doing this to Godslayer Hall? We're just angry that they killed people until they surrendered in order to earn some money,"Feng Chenghao continued to explain.
He was one of the victims of Godslayer Hall's assassination. Of course, Meng Jingtian didn't see his anger at all.
This guy was only involved in this matter for fun, right?
On the other hand, Meng Jingtian himself was indeed quite angry because of this in the last game.
"You're such a big celebrity. You have so many fans now. If you just casually post a post and call out, wouldn't that be a bunch of people scrambling to help?"Feng Chenghao continued to explain.
"Those ordinary players might not be of much use. They can't beat Godslayer Hall's assassins. But look at your fans. Can you describe one or two of them?"
"I understand!"Meng Jingtian nodded and stopped Feng Chenghao from continuing.
After pondering for a moment, Meng Jingtian opened the game forum and thought of a post to post.
"Is there a need for Godslayer Hall to exist?"
The post mainly described the evil deeds of Godslayer Hall, which killed the players to quit the game in order to make money. It made some ordinary players have no experience in the game.
It called on the players to boycott this organization. The grudges in the game would be resolved through the game, and everyone would fight with their own abilities.
Finally, at the end of the post, it left the list and coordinates of Godslayer Hall's top assassins that Bai Xiaosheng had obtained.
This post with Meng Jingtian's signature was quickly pushed to the front page by the popularity of Meng Jingtian's own name. Countless players came in and left their footprints.
Most of the rational players just laughed and discussed.
After all, every player knew about the feud between Meng Jingtian and Godslayer Hall. It was normal for them to post such diss about Godslayer Hall. They were just a bunch of bystanders. There was no need for them to participate in the feud between the big shots.
However, in the eyes of those brainless fans, the meaning of this post was completely different.
In their eyes, their idols all had their own halo. Meng Jingtian's post was simply taking the lead to resist the cancer organization, thinking for the sake of the ordinary gamers.
Naturally, they had to quickly respond to the call!
Thus, in the game, Meng Jingtian's fans formed a team. According to the assassin's coordinates that Meng Jingtian had updated in the post, they began to look for trouble with the assassins.
The top-tier killers of Godslayer Hall naturally had high-level equipment. However, under the attack of numbers, they didn't even have the ability to resist. They were constantly killed by these fans.
And those fans seemed to have gained pleasure from killing the top-tier killers of Godslayer Hall. It was a pleasure that came from venting their anger.
Moreover, with their original strength, they were no match for the killers of Godslayer Hall. Now that they had the opportunity to kill the killers of Godslayer Hall, they felt extremely excited.
The final result was that the fans became more active in finding trouble with the Godslayer Hall's killers. It was no longer because they blindly worshipped the game god Meng Jingtian, but because they were happy.
No matter how crazily the players chased after Meng Jingtian, the Godslayer Hall's killers were as crazy as they were now.
In the past, the Godslayer Hall's top-tier killers, who slaughtered ordinary players like they were slaughtering pigs and sheep, had now become pigs and sheep under the hands of ordinary players and were at the mercy of others.
Moreover, the huge number of fans allowed them to beat up the Godslayer Hall killers much more efficiently than Meng Jingtian alone, almost all of the killers that Meng Jingtian had left their coordinates in the post were beaten up by the crazy fans at the same time.
Half an hour's coordinates. So what if they weren't accurate? So what if they left? The fans just relied on their numbers to search everywhere. There was nothing that they couldn't find!
As long as there were players, there would be Meng Jingtian's fans.
Regardless of whether they were brainless fans, ordinary fans, or even passersby, they would provide coordinates to those brainless fans just to watch the show.
In this way, the killers of Godslayer Hall had nowhere to run.
Moreover, some ordinary killers of Godslayer Hall were also implicated because of Godslayer Hall. The targets of the fans'revenge were no longer just the top-tier killers that Meng Jingtian had left behind in the post.
Naturally, the management of Godslayer Hall received the news very quickly and hurriedly reported it to ran Zai'an.
Ran Zai'an, who had suffered from insomnia the night before, crawled out of bed with a pair of panda eyes. When he learned that all the killers of Godslayer Hall were being chased by players and that Godslayer Hall's normal operations had been completely suspended.., his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Then, he went through a series of procedures to understand the situation, gather people, and hold a meeting. In the end, he still had not come up with a solution.
But now, the situation in the game could not be delayed. How could he have the time to wait for them to discuss a solution?
After half an hour, all the killers in Godslayer Hall who were online were basically cleared by the crazy fans by four or five levels.
Those who were quick-witted and quick-witted went offline to ensure their safety, but some didn't even have time to go offline.
So what if it was a safe zone? Although the fans didn't have the status of a God like Meng Jingtian, it wasn't illegal to kill people.
However, their level of craziness and excitement made them not think about the safe zone or the unsafe zone at all. They didn't care about the prison, they just killed them first.
So Be it! Anyway, they were just ordinary players. It wouldn't make a difference if they were locked up for a few hours a day.
At this moment, Meng Jingtian had changed his identity to Shi Lezhi and mingled with these brainless fans. He was speechless when he saw their craziness.
He did have a lot of fans now, but he had never thought that there would be so many!
In the end, Meng Jingtian quietly left the team. He mourned for Godslayer Hall in his heart for a while and went to do his own quest.
"How is it? My method is not bad, right? I just went to bring my little disciple who just entered the game. When I saw a group of your brainless fans shouting slogans as they came from the city, she thought that they were doing some official activity!"At this moment, as if to confirm the effect, Feng Chenghao, who had already left, sent a message.
"Slogan? What slogan?"Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched as he asked. He even had a slogan. To think that these fans could think of such a thing.
"Bring down the cancer Godslayer Hall and return 'tomorrow'to the clear sky!"Feng Chenghao replied.
Then, he laughed and said, "In the past, although Godslayer Hall made the players who were ordered very unhappy, the other players still idolized it. Now that you're here, Godslayer Hall has become a cancer!"
"... I just stood in the position of a victim and casually dissed Godslayer Hall. It's not that exaggerated, right?"Meng Jingtian was speechless.
...
"Any action of your idol will be infinitely magnified in the eyes of the fans. Don't you know?"Feng Chenghao replied with a smile.
"F * ck! Brother Tian, you've finally found the right way to open these fans!"As they chatted, Cai Minghou also sent a message.
Obviously, he also knew what was happening in the game now.
Chapter 55
Was this the correct way to open a fan? Meng Jingtian smiled bitterly, but he still felt that something was not right. Regardless of whether it was beneficial to him or not, the madness of these fans was too chilling.
After ending the conversation with the two, Meng Jingtian sent the video to Bai Xiaosheng and threw the godslayer hall matter to the back of his mind. He took the teleportation portal to the Imperial City of the Black Dragon Kingdom and prepared to send a message to the emperor.
At this moment, the chat message rang again.
Meng Jingtian was stunned. Who could it be?
He had just finished chatting with Feng Chenghao and Cai Minghou, so it shouldn't be them.
He opened the chat system and saw a stranger, "Ran Zai'an.".
Meng Jingtian didn't know who ran Zai'an was because to him, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Godslayer Hall wasn't someone he could easily come into contact with.
He only knew that the Godslayer Hall was very strong and had only heard of a few top-notch killers in the Godslayer Hall. b𝚎dn𝚘v𝚎l.𝚌𝚘m
He opened the dialog box to take a look, and Meng Jingtian was slightly stunned.
"Can you come to fragrant pavilion in Black Tortoise City? Let's Talk!"
Who was this person? He was so arrogant!
Even though he used a questioning sentence, his tone was filled with an indisputable order, which really made people very unhappy.
"I'm sorry, you can talk about whatever you want to talk about! I don't just meet anyone,"the other party's tone was not good, so Meng Jingtian did not give him any face and directly replied.
On the other side, ran Zai'an, who had already admitted that he had lowered his posture, was immediately angered by these words.
What attitude did this kid have! He had already compromised, what else did he want?
Almost subconsciously, ran Zai'an wanted to reprimand Meng Jingtian.
The Godslayer Hall had risen up for a long time, and as the founder of the Godslayer Hall, ran Zai'an had not been treated this way for a long time.
"What did he say?"Just as ran Zai'an was about to reply and reprimand Meng Jingtian, a questioning voice came from the side, interrupting him.
Ran Zai'an gave a wry smile and came back to his senses. He suppressed the anger in his heart and replied, "He said that he didn't meet just anyone."
When Chen Yiming heard this, he was slightly stunned and said, "Let me give it a try!"
"I'm sorry, are you free now? Let's meet and talk. If this goes on, it won't end well for anyone."On Meng Jingtian's side, he quickly received a message from Chen Yiming.
Meng Jingtian knew this Chen Yiming. He was the famous seven kill!
It seemed that he was here to negotiate for the Godslayer Hall. That person just now... should also be from the Godslayer Hall, right?
At this moment, Meng Jingtian was deep in thought. He finally understood. Could that person just now be the boss of the Godslayer Hall?
It seemed that he had really pushed the Godslayer Hall into a corner this time. Even the boss behind-the-scenes couldn't help but appear, wanting to talk to him.
The power of this fan was indeed not to be underestimated!
"Sure! Fragrant Pavilion, right? Give me ten minutes!"This time, Meng Jingtian thought for a bit and agreed.
The task of delivering the letter wasn't urgent. He had three days anyway!
On the other hand, the Godslayer Hall could talk. Meng Jingtian wanted to see what they wanted to talk about!
Having just arrived at the Imperial City, Meng Jingtian sat back in black tortoise city with a teleportation portal. He changed back to his original identity and came to fragrant pavilion.
Fortunately, perhaps it was because all the hardcore fans in the city had gone to besiege the killers of the Godslayer Hall, he swaggered all the way from the main street and didn't encounter any encirclement, it only attracted the attention of passersby.
"Here!"Just as he arrived at the Fragrant Pavilion, a voice called out from the restaurant.
Meng Jingtian looked over. It was Chen Yiming and a middle-aged man with sparse hair who looked greasy.
"Hello, brother Chen!"Meng Jingtian walked over and greeted him calmly.
"And this... Uncle Ran? You are the boss of the Godslayer Hall, right?"Then, Meng Jingtian turned his head and greeted the middle-aged man.
However, Meng Jingtian's polite greeting caused ran Zai'an's expression to change again, and his entire face turned black.
"HMPH! Young people nowadays are so sharp-tongued. They don't know the immensity of Heaven and earth. Once they make a name for themselves, they won't know who they are!"Ran Zai'an mocked in displeasure.
"If you guys came to talk to me just to scold me, then excuse me. I don't have so much free time! You guys can go to the forum and post as much as you want. I don't care."Meng Jingtian wasn't someone who would allow others to humiliate him, he immediately narrowed his eyes and turned to leave.
"Hey! Wait! Xiao an didn't mean that. This time, we sincerely want to talk to you and... Apologize to you!"Chen Yiming hurriedly called out to Meng Jingtian.
"Xiao An?"Meng Jingtian glanced at the two of them and felt a little strange. It seemed that Chen Yiming was only a young man in his twenties. Ran Zai'an looked like he was in his thirties. How could he call him Xiao an?
Moreover, if ran Zai'an was the boss of the Godslayer Hall, then he was Chen Yiming's superior. It was not quite right to call him that, right?
Or was it that Chen Yiming was actually the boss of the Godslayer Hall?
Just as Meng Jingtian was pondering, Chen Yiming explained with a bitter smile, "Xiao An and I are classmates. He is a little short-tempered, but he is still a good person. You mocked him just now, but he just couldn't bear it."
"He's straightforward, but he doesn't mean anything by it. Let's talk inside the private room!"Chen Yiming led Meng Jingtian to a private room in fragrant pavilion.
Meng Jingtian only then realized why ran Zai'an had criticized him the moment he arrived. So he thought that he was criticizing him!
Meng Jingtian secretly glanced at ran Zai'an. But uncle, with your figure and appearance, it was really not convincing to say that you were classmates with Chen Yiming!
He looked like he was from two different eras!
Chen Yiming had already explained it this way, how could he do it? Meng Jingtian could only let it go. Since he was already here, he followed them into the private room to see what they wanted to talk about.
"It's the first time I've heard of the Godslayer Hall having an appointment to talk about the mission's target. What do you want to talk about? Speak!"In the private room, Meng Jingtian sat down impolitely. He took a sip of the 2000 gold coins per cup of heart-cleansing tea and said with a smile.
Ran Zai'an's face darkened. He couldn't help but open his mouth again, but was stopped by Chen Yiming.
"I just said that we wanted to apologize to you first,"Chen Yiming said.
"Apologize? I didn't lose anything. Why are you apologizing to me?"Meng Jingtian found it funny.
He was just one of the targets on the Godslayer Hall's list. The only difference was that he was a bit stronger.
...
When did they ever hold back when killing other targets? Now, they wanted to apologize to him?
It was all just a difference in strength!
As expected, everything in the game was empty talk. Only strength was everything!
Chapter 56
Chen Yiming gave a wry smile when he received such an answer. He did not beat around the bush and said bluntly, "Let's not beat around the bush. We hope that this matter will end here."
"Godslayer Hall will cancel your order. In addition, they will not accept any orders related to you in the future."
There was no doubt that Godslayer Hall had made a compromise. This was the first time since the establishment of Godslayer Hall that they had compromised with the target of the mission.
"Not sincere enough."Meng Jingtian narrowed his eyes. He stood up, turned around, and was about to leave.
The Godslayer Hall had made a compromise. This was not easy for them, but for Meng Jingtian, was there any benefit in agreeing to their compromise and negotiating with them? No!
"Wait! Here's another gift for you!"Chen Yiming also quickly stood up and called out to Meng Jingtian.
"What Gift?"Meng Jingtian smiled and asked.
Chen Yiming didn't answer but sent a file from the chat interface.
Meng Jingtian opened it and saw a video of Bai Wensheng being blocked in seaside city and unable to leave. As soon as he went online, he was killed without limit.
"This is the person who placed the order. Someone in our organization has already tried it. Tomorrow will be deleted and rebuilt half a year later. He has basically said goodbye to this game,"Chen Yiming explained.
"I know it's him. Whether he plays this game or not doesn't affect me at all. Do you think he has the ability to stop me?"After watching the video, Meng Jingtian only smiled and said.
"What else do you want?"Ran Zai'an couldn't hold it in anymore and asked angrily.
"I don't want to do anything. I just want the Godslayer Hall to disappear,"Meng Jingtian smiled and replied.
"In your dreams! The Godslayer Hall will never disappear!"Ran Zai'an's veins bulged as he shouted angrily. If Chen Yiming hadn't pulled him back, he might have already pounced on him.
"Meng Jingtian, we did come today with sincerity. If this continues, it's not good for anyone. You should know that the Godslayer Hall has been developing for ten years, and its foundation is still very rich. No matter how powerful you are, you can't make it disappear completely."Chen Yiming advised.
"But I'm not alone."Meng Jingtian looked out of the window. Just as Feng Chenghao said, a group of shouting fans passed by on the street outside the window.
Chen Yiming's expression froze. Indeed, he was no longer alone.
Although he didn't establish any gangs or organizations, the name Meng Jingtian already represented a group, a crazy group!
If it wasn't for this, how could ran Zai'an compromise and negotiate with Meng Jingtian?
Those fan groups were already a threat to the existence of the Godslayer Hall. If this continued, the Godslayer Hall might really disappear from the game just like Meng Jingtian said!
"What do you need to do to... let go of the Godslayer Hall?"Ran Zai'an sat on the chair dejectedly, closed his eyes, and asked helplessly.
"How about we just treat it as if Godslayer Hall owes you a favor?"Chen Yiming smiled bitterly and asked.
"This matter can end here, but Godslayer Hall can no longer exist!"Meng Jingtian finally relented. After all, fans were only fans, not gang members. They could be so obedient.
Continuing to waste time with Godslayer Hall was indeed not beneficial to him.
Although he wasn't afraid of the Godslayer Hall taking revenge on him now, the Godslayer Hall had many people, and they had a lot of resources. If he spent time dealing with the Godslayer Hall, it would slow down his progress in the game.
"What do you mean?"Chen Yiming asked with a frown.
What did he mean by saying that this matter could end here, but the Godslayer Hall could no longer exist?
"My enemy is the Godslayer Hall, but with the Godslayer Hall gone, there can still be the Godslayer Hall and the Godslayer Hall..."Meng Jingtian explained.
In reality, the frenzied attacks of the fans against the Godslayer Hall were no longer under Meng Jingtian's control. He could not stop them just because he said so. What he could do was to stop adding fuel to the fire and stop attacking the Godslayer Hall.
Perhaps it was because he was a "God"in this game, he didn't want Godslayer Hall to continue existing.
Chen Yiming turned to look at ran Zai'an and understood what Meng Jingtian meant. In fact, he personally felt that he could agree to it. Whether it was Godslayer Hall or any other hall, it made no difference to him, as long as this organization could continue to exist, it was already the best outcome.
However, to ran Zai'an, the Godslayer Hall was the blood and sweat of ten years. He had once sacrificed everything for the Godslayer Hall. This result was probably not so easy to accept.
"Good! The Godslayer Hall can disappear, and the grudge between us will end here."Contrary to Chen Yiming's expectations, although ran Zai'an was dejected, he only sighed and accepted this result.
"When will you stop your crazy fans?"Ran Zai'an looked out the window and asked Meng Jingtian.
"Did you misunderstand something? "I only promised that this matter will end here. I Won't make a move anymore. From now on, as long as you don't act shamelessly, I Won't be your enemy anymore. What the fans will do is not something I can control."Meng Jingtian shrugged.
"You!"Ran Zai'an glared. He stood up again and swung his fist.
Meng Jingtian dodged to the side.
Although ran Zai'an was the boss of Godslayer Hall, his character's attributes were only slightly better than ordinary players. Compared to Meng Jingtian's character, he was much worse, his speed was naturally not as fast as Meng Jingtian's. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
"You tricked us!"Chen Yiming was a little angry as he questioned Meng Jingtian.
If not for these fans being too crazy and forcing Godslayer Hall into a corner, how could they, a large organization, lower their heads and admit defeat to a mere unspecialized player and "Cut off the land to compensate"?
Even if Meng Jingtian had cleared out all the killers of Godslayer Hall in Black Tortoise City, it would not shake the foundation of Godslayer Hall. It was not enough to make Godslayer Hall lower its head.
"If you want to negotiate, this is the final result. This is the biggest concession I can make. As for the matter of the fans, I have already taught you the solution. If you are really that stupid, there is nothing I can do."Meng Jingtian chuckled, he turned around and left.
When he reached the door, he stopped again, he turned around and reminded the two people who were thinking about his words, "Oh right, don't forget the favor you owe me! The new organization has been established. What is its name? Tell me so that I can collect the debt!"
The two of them couldn't help but clench their teeth and clenched their fists as they watched Meng Jingtian leave.
Arrogant! This guy was too arrogant!
If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't beat him, they would have to kill him hundreds of times before Chen Yiming could barely vent his anger!
"Sigh!"After Meng Jingtian left, ran Zai'an let out a long sigh, with a bitter smile, he said, "Go offline! Let everyone who can go offline go offline. Godslayer Hall... will be disbanded! Let's stay out of the limelight for now. After these fans are done with their ruckus, if they are willing to work with us again, we will get them back."
Chapter 57
A post with a bright red font appeared on the front page of the forum.
This was the last post from Godslayer Hall. As for the content of the post, it announced that Godslayer Hall was disbanded. It hoped that the players would stop attacking the killer players that originally belonged to Godslayer Hall.
Of course, to show their sincerity, the post also apologized to the players. It also apologized for the players that they had assassinated. It had brought them a very bad gaming experience.
As soon as this post was posted, the players immediately went into an uproar!
Meng Jingtian had won! An unspecialized player had messed up a myth that had stood tall in the game for ten years!
This was simply a miracle, a legend!
Who said that no matter how strong an individual was, there was still a limit? That was because he was not strong enough!
The players discussed animatedly, and the fans who participated in this moment were even more excited. They were like soldiers who had won a battle, cheering happily!
Some fan groups even prepared an offline celebration, which made people sigh with emotion.
In fact, it wasn't Meng Jingtian who had destroyed Godslayer Hall, but these ordinary players.
These players were the fiercest cannon fire. Meng Jingtian was just the fuse that ignited the cannon fire.
This result was somewhat out of Meng Jingtian's expectations.
His original plan was only to hurt the Godslayer Hall so that they wouldn't dare to deal with him again.
If they attacked him once, then he would take revenge once. Let's see who couldn't hold on first!
He also knew that he was only one person. As for the Godslayer Hall, there were more than 10,000 assassins. Other than wasting time with them, it was absolutely impossible for him to destroy the Godslayer Hall by himself.
Godslayer Hall was an assassin organization, not a gang. It would not gather all its members together, and Meng Jingtian did not know the cloning technique. This was the limit of individual strength.
No matter what, the final result was good for Meng Jingtian.
Under the public relations apology of Godslayer Hall, the crazy fans gradually calmed down, and the matter gradually passed.
After the matter was settled, Meng Jingtian naturally did not waste too much energy on it.
In fact, when Godslayer Hall released that post, he had already come to the imperial city once again to do his own mission.
It was actually not easy for an ordinary player to meet the Emperor.
The unique identity system in "Tomorrow"was not a decoration. The moment all the players entered the game, they had already integrated into the game and become a part of the game.
In the eyes of npcs, a born blacksmith was a blacksmith. A born commoner was a commoner in the eyes of npcs. They were their neighbors.
Npcs naturally had different attitudes toward people with different identities. They would provide more convenience for people with high status, but they would not exceed the limits of the system.
In this aspect, "Tomorrow"was very different from other games. Players who entered the game were the "People"who truly belonged to the game.
In the eyes of the npcs, you weren't special. You weren't a chosen one or a descender.
But could a commoner see the emperor? Impossible!
However, Meng Jingtian wasn't a commoner. He was a god.
Meng Jingtian didn't know how the npcs could tell. Perhaps he had a halo in the eyes of the npcs?
In any case, he swaggered all the way into the palace gate. The guards at the gate didn't dare to stop him.
However, just as Meng Jingtian was curiously looking around and asking the guards for the location of the emperor, Nangong Qi rushed over with a few generals and a group of guards, blocking his way.
"You still dare to come to my territory?"Nangong Qi looked very angry as he glared at Meng Jingtian and asked.
"Why don't you dare to come? Is it because I've offended you?"Meng Jingtian only shrugged and asked.
He glanced at the few level 70-80 npcs beside nangong qi and smiled indifferently.
He wanted to use npcs to deal with him?
Hehe, he was too naive!
He wasn't afraid of anyone when it came to comparing status!
Since Meng Jingtian said it so 'frankly', Nangong Qi wasn't in a good position to answer. He secretly scolded this fellow for being lacking a brain?
Immediately, in a fit of anger, he commanded a silver-armored general beside him who held a long spear in his hand, "Take down this person for this crown prince!"
Nangong Qi knew that he was no match for Meng Jingtian, but he was the crown prince of the Darkdragon Kingdom, and he thought that his luck was heaven-defying.
As the official designated online game, there were more than hundreds of millions of players in tomorrow, and he was the luckiest one among the hundreds of millions of players!
Born with royal blood, he had a huge advantage. One of them was that within the imperial palace, he could freely command npcs that had a friendliness of more than 20 points towards him.
So what if Meng Jingtian was strong? He was only Level 42. It was impossible for him to defeat npcs that were twice his level!
The first 20 to 30 levels might not have much difference in strength. In the later stages, the difference between each level was like the difference between heaven and earth!
Therefore, Nangong Qi was extremely confident at this moment. He really didn't expect Meng Jingtian to be so foolish as to come to the imperial palace to be dealt with.
After giving the order, he raised his head arrogantly. He even started to consider whether he should give Meng Jingtian a ten-day prison tour or torture him?
However, he didn't notice that the npcs that came with him were terrified the moment they saw Meng Jingtian. They were like mice that had seen a cat.
After hearing Nangong Qi's orders, their faces were filled with shock and fear.
The general who had been ordered by him was probably an intelligent NPC because his level was not low. At this moment, the fear on his face was extremely vivid.
However, he did not carry out Nangong Qi's orders. Instead, he hurriedly pulled nangong qi and said, "Your Highness, you must not be rude to the Lord God!"
Nangong Qi, who had a smug look on his face, was suddenly stunned. He could not understand what was going on.
Normally, these npcs were very obedient, but now..
"God? What God?"Nangong Qi did not believe it and asked with an unhappy expression.
...
"This is the true body of the Lord God!"The general carefully glanced at Meng Jingtian. He did not even dare to look at him rudely.
"Sigh! What do you think you're competing against? Why must you compete with Me In Luck?"Meng Jingtian laughed. As expected, his status as a god was not inferior to Nangong Qi, the crown prince, even in the Imperial Palace!
"This game is the best I've ever played!"
"You're a God? Impossible! The officials of 'tomorrow'did not say that players can reincarnate into the celestial race!"Nangong Qi swallowed his saliva, but he refused to accept this fact.
"There's still a lot of things that the officials of 'tomorrow'didn't say! Do you think that saying 'Please explore on your own'is a joke?"Meng Jingtian laughed.
"God's punishment spell!"As he said that, he started to fight.
Just like how Nangong Qi thought that he came to the imperial palace to throw himself into a trap and brought a group of npcs to deal with him.
At this moment, Nangong Qi was also throwing himself into a trap. How could Meng Jingtian let him off?
There were a lot of grudges in the game. Whoever had the biggest fist would be the boss. Meng Jingtian didn't take Nangong Qi to heart. He just took him as a thief blocking the way and took care of him.
Chapter 58
Nangong Qi was caught off guard and instantly disappeared before his eyes.
The group of npcs turned pale with fright and shouted, "Lord God, please calm down!"
"Bring me to the emperor,"Meng Jingtian said as he looked at the silver-armored general NPC.
The NPC and the other npcs looked at each other and hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes! Please follow me, Lord God."
Not long after, Meng Jingtian met the Emperor of the Dark Dragon Kingdom in a luxurious palace.
As the Emperor of the Dark Dragon Kingdom, the level of this NPC was quite high. It was at least level 100.
When Meng Jingtian saw him, the emperor was dressed in a grand formal suit. His face was calm, unlike the other npcs who were in awe of him. He did not appear to be impolite, and there was a hint of mystery about him.
"May I know why the God has personally come to visit?"The emperor asked with a slight bow.
"Actually, I was asked by Master Tian Ying to deliver a letter to Your Majesty,"Meng Jingtian answered truthfully.
"Is it master Tian Ying from Qian Kun Monastery?"Hearing this, the emperor was shocked. He was even more surprised than when he saw Meng Jingtian.
Master Tian Ying was a level 120 NPC, and he was considered a big shot among the npcs. He was 20 levels higher than the emperor, and he was an unworldly expert from Qian Kun monastery.
In the eyes of the Emperor of the mysterious dragon country, the sudden arrival of Master Tian Ying was indeed more surprising than the visit of an unknown little god like Meng Jingtian.
As long as one did not disrespect a little god and received him properly, it would be fine. However, the letter from Master Tian Ying could not be ignored!
"That's right!"Meng Jingtian replied.
Although he had learned that the sky demon, Demon, and nightmare realm was a terrifying creature that could turn people into monsters like the two bosses that he had fought before, it was not something good.
However, he still could not figure out the current situation. What did the demon king represent? What were master Tian Ying and the Emperor nervous about?
The players knew too little about the game. All the background of the game had to be explored by themselves.
Taking the letter from Meng Jingtian, the emperor quickly opened it and read it. The more he read, the more his expression became solemn.
"Ding! Congratulations! Mission completed!"
"You have obtained 10,000 merit points. You can go to the merit shop to exchange for various items!"
"You have obtained the title: Righteous Hero (purple) !"
Righteous Hero: After wearing it, increases all righteous faction npcs'friendliness by 10 points.
After adding only 10 points of friendliness, Meng Jingtian pursed his lips. It seemed that this title was about to be tarnished. His identity as a god, the belief halo, made npcs naturally have a very high friendliness towards him.
However, a purple title only added 10 points of friendliness. It could be seen that for players, NPC friendliness was actually very difficult to farm.
Moreover, ordinary players could only farm their friendliness one by one. They could not be like Meng jingtian, where the belief halo was effective on all npcs.
From the looks of it, this "Righteous hero"had increased all the righteous npcs'friendliness by 10 points. In fact, it was not useless. It was just a little useless to Meng Jingtian.
"Lord God, I have a presumptuous request. Please help me, Lord God!"Just as Meng Jingtian was checking his mission reward, the emperor of the mysterious dragon country spoke again.
It should be the next mission, but because of Meng Jingtian's identity, the emperor spoke a little too politely.
"Please Speak, Your Majesty! I have always been willing to help others!"Meng Jingtian came back to his senses and quickly replied.
How could he not accept the mission?
"Ten years ago, the blood demon palace caused a disaster, and I gathered the righteous and chivalrous people to destroy it. "However, ten years later, the Blood Demon Palace actually revived. A few days ago, my subordinates already had information and discovered signs of the blood demon palace's activities. I didn't expect Master Tian Ying to send a message so quickly."
The Emperor of the mysterious dragon country had a heavy expression, and he first told Meng Jingtian a part of the plot.
"Ten years ago, the blood demon palace had only accidentally obtained a few Sky Demon Nightmares, but they had already caused many righteous experts and brave generals to become sky demons that devoured people and brought harm to the common people. "Now that ten years have passed, who knows how many Sky Demon Nightmares they have in their hands. We still need to eliminate these remnants as soon as possible to prevent them from happening!"
"However, although I have many brave generals and generals under me, they are all defending the borders and are not easy to mobilize. For the time being, there are no trustworthy people that I can use. Can I ask Lord God to lead a team to the blood demon palace to eliminate the remaining remnants?"The emperor looked at Meng Jingtian, he said solemnly.
"Ding! Starting a war with the Blood Demon Palace (4) : the Emperor of the mysterious Dragon Kingdom requests your help to lead a team to exterminate the survivors of the Blood Demon Palace.".
Mission time limit: one month.
Mission reward: one temple, one God statue, and 100,000 gold coins!"
Temple? God statue? Meng Jingtian was slightly stunned. What the hell?
Other People's missions usually rewarded equipment and experience, but for him, they rewarded temples and God statues?
Did this thing have a level? What was its use?
Despite his doubts, Meng Jingtian still accepted the mission first.
"Your Majesty, don't worry! I will definitely complete the mission!"Meng Jingtian patted his chest and promised.
"This token can mobilize the 20,000 Azure Dragon Army stationed in Azure Dragon City. Its general, Mu Tianchou, knows about the blood demon palace. Please set off as soon as possible, master God!"The emperor handed over a bronze token and said.
"Sigh... Wait!"Meng Jingtian suddenly recalled that both master Tian Ying and the Emperor placed great importance on the blood demon palace. Previously, the outer disciples of the Blood Demon Palace's stronghold in the Black Crow Forest were all level 40-plus. The Blood Demon Palace would not be easy to deal with!
"May I Ask Your Majesty, how strong is the Blood Demon Palace? can these 20,000 soldiers annihilate them?"
"Don't worry, Lord God. The real blood demon palace was destroyed 10 years ago. Now, it's just the remnants of the evil. The 20,000 Azure Dragon soldiers are enough to deal with them,"the emperor of the mysterious dragon country replied as he waved his hand. 𝚋edn𝚘𝚟el.co𝚖
However, it was clear that the fourth chain quest was not as simple as letting players bring npcs along.
As expected, the emperor changed the topic and said, "However, although it's not as good as the blood demon palace back then, I wonder if there are any experts from the blood demon palace left behind."
"Recently, I've heard that the mysterious dragon country has produced many talents. Lord God, you can recruit these talents to fight against them together."
Quest notification! Meng Jingtian was very keen to catch the information that the Emperor had revealed.
This was indeed not an errand boy quest. There should be another boss that the players had to deal with on their own. Moreover, it was a powerful boss that needed to form a large party!
Then, he thought of the outer disciples outside the Blood Demon Palace's stronghold. Presumably, the level of this boss should not be low either!
"I understand. Please allow me to make some preparations before I head there."Meng Jingtian cupped his hands and replied.
...
"Please hurry, Lord God. With the heavenly demon demon demon demon demon in hand, if we delay for even a day, I'm afraid that even more righteous heroes will be killed and become the blood demon palace's weapons of slaughter."The emperor urged once again.
Meng Jingtian could only agree and leave.
The time limit for the mission was one month. It did not seem short, but it was actually not long either. This was because with Meng Jingtian's current strength, he still did not have much confidence. He still had to improve his own strength.
Chapter 59
With the disappearance of the Godslayer Hall, the grudge between this once famous assassin organization and Meng Jingtian was settled. The game became much calmer.
The players were calm, but the npcs were lively.
A rumor began to spread among the npcs of the mysterious dragon country. Their crown prince had suffered divine punishment for blasphemy.
Not long after the news spread out, Nangong Qi, who was furiously leveling up and venting his anger on the small monsters, heard a system message.
"Ding! Because of your blasphemy, the people of the dark dragon kingdom's friendliness toward you has decreased by 10 points!"
Nangong Qi was stunned. Before he could react, he noticed that the palace guards who had been following him to help with the monster farming suddenly quit.
"Why did you stop? Are you trying to slack off? !"Nangong Qi, who was already filled with anger towards Meng Jingtian, immediately berated the few guards.
"I'm Sorry, Your Highness. I was injured when I was fighting the Spirit Monkey King just now. I'm afraid I'll have to go back and bandage it up,"the guard replied respectfully with a cold expression.
Nangong Qi was stunned. Only then did he realize that the guard's friendliness towards him had dropped below 20 points.
After all, this was still a game. Everything had to follow the rules of the system.
Even though he was the crown prince, if his friendliness didn't reach the standard, these npcs wouldn't listen to his orders.
Nangong Qi was silent. He didn't continue to vent his anger. He knew that he wasn't a match for Meng Jingtian.
Before, in his eyes, it was just strength. But now, he knew that it wasn't just strength. He couldn't even compare to luck.
As the Crown Prince of the Black Dragon Country, he knew better than anyone the benefits of 'identity'.
As the Crown Prince of the human race, he could obtain so many resources and so many benefits, not to mention Meng Jingtian's identity as a god?
Under normal circumstances, he absolutely couldn't compete with Meng Jingtian!
Realizing this, Nangong Qi coldly snorted and temporarily put down the hatred in his heart towards Meng Jingtian.
Although Nangong Qi was arrogant, he could still endure when he needed to.
In fact, not only did Nangong Qi let go of his hatred for Meng Jingtian, he even took the initiative to send an apology message to Meng Jingtian, saying that he hoped that the two of them would be able to work together in the future.
Meng Jingtian didn't see this message at all. There was nothing he could do. There were too many crazy fans. He could send secret messages in the game as long as he knew the id. He had long blocked all messages from strangers.
Moreover, he did not take Nangong Qi to heart.
When they had fought in the dungeon together last time, he had long seen that Nangong Qi not only had a shameless personality. Other than being a little lucky, his sense of control in the game was also at the level of an ordinary player.
Such a person was not worth getting along with, nor was he worthy of being feared.
Yesterday, after accepting the fourth round of missions from the Emperor of the mysterious dragon country and leaving the palace, he went offline. His parents, who had gone on a tour with the group, had returned.
Hence, he had no choice but to spend more than half a day gathering with his parents. It was only on the second day that he had the time to log on.
After logging on, Meng Jingtian took out the enrollment notice from the Divine Academy.
His equipment and level had already far surpassed that of ordinary players. The only thing he lacked was probably his skills?
Currently, most of the players had already entered a sect and learned a sect's skill. Only Meng Jingtian had a few basic skills. It was about time for him to enter a sect.
"Confirm use!"After Meng Jingtian confirmed, the simple divine academy admission notice burned into ashes and fell to the ground.
When the spark-like ashes fell to the ground, they quickly spread and drew a fiery red door frame in the air.
The illusory door was wide open, but Meng Jingtian couldn't see what was inside. There was only a layer of white mist, and a thick and inexplicable pressure came from the door.
Just as Meng Jingtian was about to step in, he saw the Cloud and mist surge, and two figures walked out side by side.
Meng Jingtian was stunned. The corners of his mouth twitched. What the hell is the official doing?
He knew that this game was assigned by the United Nations to travel around the world at the same time, but there was no need... there was no need to do this, right? 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝘮
The people who appeared in front of Meng jingtian were two completely different people.
One was a young Daoist wearing a green Daoist robe with a Daoist bun and holding a horsetail whisk.
The other one was an oracle wearing a white robe like the one in the western oil painting.
I know that your game is a combination of Chinese and Western elements, right? Isn't it too f * cking inappropriate for these two people to walk together?
Meng Jingtian complained in his heart.
At this moment, two figures walked out of the door and greeted Meng Jingtian with a completely different etiquette.
"You are the new God who is about to enter the academy, right? We are the emissaries who are here to receive you. May I ask, are you going to the Heavenly Dao Academy? Or the Heavenly Deity Academy?"The two of them asked at the same time, their eyes were filled with hope as they looked at Meng Jingtian.
"Uh... can't we learn the skills of these two academies at the same time?"Meng Jingtian asked weakly.
Who knew why the Divine Academy was divided into the Heavenly Dao Academy and the Heavenly God Academy?
The two messengers looked at each other in silence. Their eyes were filled with intense hostility, but they didn't answer Meng Jingtian's question.
"Cough! These two academies belong to the Divine Academy, right? I'm going to study at the Divine Academy!"Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes and said.
"Come with us!"The two envoys shook their heads and turned to enter the door. They didn't force Meng Jingtian to make a choice.
They sighed and said, "You still have to make a choice in the end. Although both academies belong to the god Academy, there is always a constant battle between the eastern and western God systems. The two academies belong to both God Systems."
"In the god Academy, the Old Gods are responsible for the teaching of the New Gods. Once you choose one academy, the gods of the other academy will not teach you."
"If you don't choose, you will be a grass on the wall. The gods of the two academies will not have a good impression of you, so naturally, there is no need to talk about teaching."
The two completely different God envoys explained one after another. Needless to say, there was some tacit understanding between them!
"God System?"Meng Jingtian muttered. He heard a new word from the two God's messengers. School, God system. It seemed that the world between gods was also very complicated!
"Here we are! On your left is the Heavenly Dao School, and on your right is the heavenly god school. Which School do you want to go to?"
As he pondered, he had unknowingly stepped through the door. What appeared in front of Meng Jingtian were two completely different god states.
...
On the left, there were green mountains and ravines, and waterfalls were scattered everywhere. Amidst the clouds and fog, there were cranes and phoenixes dancing in the air. It was as if they were in the legendary immortal world of the East!
On the right, the white clouds were the ground, and the golden light was boundless. It was a magnificent western-style palace!
Chapter 60
Meng Jingtian was slightly stunned and unconsciously took a step forward.
All of this was too real, so people couldn't help but be shocked by the completely different godly state in front of them.
But it was also too dreamy and ethereal, making people unable to believe it.
If only one of the two could be chosen..
Meng Jingtian lifted his feet and walked toward the immortal realm on the left, which was like an ink-green mountain.
He had been influenced by the Chinese culture since he was young. Apparently, the ethereal immortal realm was more attractive to him.
Behind him, the God's emissary in the white robe discolored. He snorted and then flew into the Glorious Palace on the right, heading to the school of Heavenly God.
The young Daoist in the Daoist Robe was beaming with joy. He flicked his horsetail whisk. "Sir Incipient God realm, please follow me to see the Master of the school of Heavenly God."
Meng Jingtian turned around and glanced at the Heavenly Dao College. He nodded at the young Daoist.
Since he had made his decision, there was no need to hesitate anymore.
"Daoist master, are you also the god of the Heavenly Dao College?"Meng Jingtian asked the young Daoist curiously.
This young Daoist was even higher than Master Tian Ying. He was Level 130!
The young Daoist priest shook his head, he smiled and said, "Gods are worshiped by others. Only by worshiping and worshiping can they be called gods. I'm just a mere human cultivator. Because my strength is passable, I was able to come to the Heavenly Dao Academy and cultivate with gods."
"We're Here!"The young Daoist priest led the way, but it was useless to walk. With a flick of his sleeve, he brought Meng Jingtian to the mountain range of the Heavenly Dao Academy, the peak of the highest mountain that pierced through the clouds.
An ancient and heavy hall was sitting there. There seemed to be sandalwood smoke wafting out from the hall.
Meng Jingtian raised his head and saw that on the plaque above the hall, there were three bold and graceful words, "Purple clouds palace"!
"F * ck... F * ck!"Meng Jingtian raised his head and looked at the three big words. The corner of his mouth twitched.
Could it be the legendary purple clouds palace?
When emmm thought back, there didn't seem to be anything wrong. Since it was a game, and since it was the school of the eastern God system, it wasn't strange for it to be a purple firmament palace.
Hongjun (Dao ancestor)
Level: level 1
Identity: Master of the Heavenly Dao School
Attributes: ? ? ?
Skills: ? ? ?
Walking into the hall, Meng Jingtian saw the palace master that the young Daoist had mentioned. This name was still somewhat shocking. However, when he saw the purple firmament palace's plaque outside, now that Meng Jingtian saw Hongjun himself.., there was nothing surprising about it.
Wasn't it extremely normal for the purple firmament palace to have Daoist ancestor Hong Jun in it?
In reality, he was just the boss of the eastern God system in the game.
"You're the new God that just entered the school?"Hong Jun sat cross-legged on a futon with his eyes slightly closed. When he sensed Meng Jingtian enter, he opened his eyes slightly and asked.
"Now that 365 true gods have been fixed, there are no less than ten thousand hairy gods left. I thought that there wouldn't be any new gods. I didn't expect that there would be another one."Meng Jingtian's existence seemed to be somewhat out of Hong Jun's expectations, he sighed as he muttered to himself.
Indeed, in reality, Meng Jingtian's identity as a god was really due to the chaotic data he got when he entered the game.
To accidentally get a unique God out of nowhere, his luck was really one in ten thousand.
Perhaps, the reason why Meng Jingtian was so unusual in other games was to accumulate good luck this time?
"Let me see why you were born, so that I can appoint a suitable teacher for you!"Then, Hong Jun continued. A purple light flashed in his eyes. He must have used a detection skill to look at Meng Jingtian.
With this look, Hong Jun's originally calm expression suddenly changed drastically. It changed again and again. Sometimes he was happy, sometimes he frowned, sometimes he was thinking, sometimes he was troubled and confused.
"That... is there something wrong with my birth?"Seeing him like this, Meng Jingtian asked nervously.
A level 150 NPC and the Master of the Tiandao Academy, this level of intelligence should be the highest level. Maybe it touched the core program of the game and wouldn't detect this bug, right?
Would it be fixed? What would happen to his character? This really made Meng Jingtian a little worried.
"Are you willing to take me as your master?"After thinking for a while, Hong Jun stared at Meng Jingtian and asked.
At that moment, Meng Jingtian actually felt the hairs on his back stand up. A shiver rose from his soul and surrounded him.
Danger! A fatal danger!
How could it be! This was just a game. Even if this guy was called Hongjun, he was just an NPC. No matter how high the level of the virtual reality was, no matter how real it was, it was impossible for him to feel this kind of fatal danger, right?
This kind of danger was not death in the game. It was as if real death was approaching!
That stagnant aura pressed down on Meng Jingtian until he could not breathe. It was an indescribable pressure from the soul.
As a result, his thoughts suddenly stopped. After being stunned for a moment, he unconsciously knelt on the praying mat in front of Hong Jun and said with difficulty, "I'm Willing!"
Suddenly, the pressure dissipated and the sense of danger disappeared. Meng Jingtian panted heavily. The sandalwood fragrance in the hall gradually calmed his mind.
"Think about it carefully. When I say take me as your master, I mean a true master and disciple. Once a master, always a father. I don't mean a teacher who teaches you two spells casually."Hong Jun lowered his eyes and stared at Meng Jingtian, then regained his calmness, he reminded Meng Jingtian.
Meng Jingtian was slightly startled, not understanding why Hong Jun would deliberately remind him like this. After all, they were only masters and teachers in the game. Was there a big difference?
"If you treat this disciple of mine as your own son, I will naturally treat him the same,"Meng Jingtian replied.
"Ha! You are really cunning! Other people all want to be my disciple. Even if you are just an in-name disciple, you still dare to make demands!"Hongjun actually smiled and said. 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦
"Didn't you also make demands on me? For matters like master and Disciple, you have to be willing to be with me. We have to be equal, right? If you treat me well, then I can treat you well!"Meng Jingtian's mood had already calmed down with the soothing sandalwood fragrance in the hall. He smiled and said.
"In that case, you are my last disciple!"Hong Jun did not agree, but it could be considered as a tacit agreement.
"Ding! Congratulations, you have acknowledged Hong Jun as your master. You have received the favor of the heavenly axiom. Luck Value + 15!"
"Ding! Congratulations! You have received the title: Hong Jun's personal disciple!"
...
Hong Jun's personal disciple (top-tier god-tier) : wearing this title, all eastern gods will have a + 20 friendliness toward you, and A + 5 respect for you.
Just as Hongjun's voice fell, a series of notifications rang in Meng Jingtian's ears.
Luck Value? Title? This master was not undeserved!
"Master, um... is there any kind of greeting gift?"After coming back to his senses, Meng Jingtian giggled and asked Hongjun.
"Go! Right now, your master is limited everywhere. I can only teach you a few divine abilities."Hongjun glanced at Meng Jingtian and shook his head.
Chapter 61
"Abhijna? That works too! What abhijna does master plan to teach me?"Hearing this, Meng Jingtian was not depressed and continued to laugh.
The abhijna, spells, martial arts, and so on that the NPC mentioned were actually skills. What he lacked now was skills!
"You're only Level 42. I can teach you two abhijna. From now on, for every 20 levels, you can come and learn one abhijna from me,"Hong Jun looked down at Meng Jingtian and said calmly.
"Oh? Two? Can I choose for myself?"Meng Jingtian asked in pleasant surprise.
He didn't know what level the Divine Ability Hong Jun was talking about was. It should be extremely extraordinary.
"No!"Hong Jun answered without thinking.
"Ding! Hong Jun (Daofather) wants to teach you the divine ability 'Heaven and earth'. Will you accept it?"
[ Ding! Hongjun (Daofather) wants to teach you the divine ability, [ soaring golden light ] . Do you accept? ]
[ accept! ] was there any reason to reject? Meng Jingtian immediately clicked accept!
[ Ding! Congratulations, you have learned the divine ability, [ heavenly transformation ] ! ]
..
Two more system notifications popped up on Meng Jingtian's skill panel. Two more skill names appeared on his skill panel, and they were even higher than the divine level skills he had learned previously!
Meng Jingtian clicked on the skill description and began to read it.
[ heavenly transformation Earth (LV1-RRB- : consumes 30% divine power to obtain a gigantic dharma idol that is 100 times its original siAll all attributes increased by 1,000Lastsasts for 10 minutes. ].
Cooldown: 30 minutes.
[ soaring golden light (LV1) : consumes 5% divine power to transform into a golden light and instantly appear anywhere within a 50-meter radius. Reduces 80% damage received while transforming into a golden light. ].
Cooldown time: 3 minutes.
"There are still many gods hiding in the Heavenly Dao College's grotto-heavens. You can go ask them for more spells. Although they are not as powerful as divine abilities, they each have their own strengths!"Just as Meng Jingtian was checking his skills.., hong Jun continued to say.
Then, with a wave of his sleeve, Meng Jingtian was sent out of the purple clouds palace.
"You don't have to come to see me again before you reach level 60!"Meng Jingtian suddenly came back to his senses, but he only heard Hong Jun's voice as if it came from an extremely distant place.
The purple clouds palace in front of him had already closed the door. Two clouds flew in from all directions. The purple clouds palace had already disappeared into the clouds.
"Exalted goddess, why did you stay in the purple clouds palace for two incense sticks'time? What did the palace master talk to you about?"The young Daoist who was waiting outside to receive Meng Jingtian asked Meng Jingtian in surprise and curiosity.
Meng Jingtian looked at the flat ground that had become an empty square due to the disappearance of the purple clouds palace and pursed his lips. This master was really irresponsible!
Thinking that he was in the Heavenly Dao Academy and had to look for other theological skills, he changed the title he originally wore and wore the title of "Hongjun's personal disciple".
"What!"This shocked the young Daoist so much that he cried out in surprise.
"The palace master... took you in as a disciple?"After a long while, he asked in disbelief.
"Uh... that seems to be the case! But he only taught me two skills... divine powers."Meng Jingtian shrugged.
The young Daoist looked at Meng Jingtian speechlessly. Two divine powers weren't enough, what else did he want? !
Even if he was a veteran true God, there were many who didn't know one divine power!
It was said that divine abilities and spells were two completely different levels of existence.
"What should I do now? Master told me to go to some grotto-heaven and find other gods to learn some spells. How should I find it?"Coincidentally, there was someone leading the way. Meng Jingtian impolitely asked the young Taoist priest who was leading him.
The young Taoist priest smiled bitterly, he respectfully replied, "Reporting to God, there are tens of thousands of mountains and ravines in this Heavenly Dao Academy. There are countless grotto-heaven and blessed lands. They are incomparably vast. The gods live in various places. The small path follows the goddess of flowers, Lady Yi, and cultivates. They do not dare to wander around, but only know of the goddess of Flowers'training grounds."
"Goddess of Flowers?"Meng Jingtian frowned. She sounded like a woman. He did not know if there were any spells that were suitable for him to learn?
However, he did not have a choice now.
The young Daoist said that the Heavenly Dao Academy was incomparably vast! be𝚍𝚗𝚘ve𝚕.c𝚘𝚖
Meng Jingtian looked over and indeed saw a mountain connected to a mountain. He couldn't see the end of the mountain. What Paradise? He simply couldn't tell. He only knew that it would take him a few days to traverse the entire mountain.
There was still a time-limited mission waiting for him to complete! He couldn't just spend a few months to learn a skill, right?
Now, he could only follow the young Daoist priest to look for the Flower God. No matter what, he was still a god! He definitely knew other gods. When the time came, he would let the flower god introduce him.
"Then can I trouble you to take me to see the Flower God?"Meng Jingtian looked at the young Daoist and asked.
"Exalted God, you don't have to be so polite. I'm just a human cultivator. Please follow me!"The young Daoist said fearfully.
Then, he brought Meng Jingtian to step on a cloud and flew into the sky, flying toward the mountain in the distance.
"What kind of spell is this? Can I learn it too?"Meng jingtian curiously stepped on the cloud and stomped his feet as he asked.
Flying had been a dream of mankind since ancient times!
Even if it was just in the game, it was not bad to be able to fly.
The young Taoist priest smiled and said, "It's just an ordinary cloud climbing spell. It can travel 800 miles a day. It can't be compared to those divine abilities."
"Oh? What kind of divine abilities do they have?"Meng Jingtian asked. He was thinking of asking Hongjun for one the next time he could learn a divine ability?
"Somersault Cloud. A somersault can travel 108,000 miles. Kun Peng spreads its wings and flies up 90,000 miles. Golden Light can jump from the ground to the north and south in an instant..."the young Taoist answered with a smile.
Hearing the Golden Light, Meng Jingtian was slightly stunned. Wasn't this the divine ability that he had just learned?
What the hell? How come I can only leap 50 meters?
Isn't the gap too big? Could it be that the Hongjun impartation was a pirated copy?
Meng Jingtian ridiculed in his heart, but after thinking about it, he knew that it was impossible. That was a daofather!
He didn't know how many divine abilities and spells had come from him. There was no need to trick his last disciple, right?
Was it because of the skill level?
...
Meng Jingtian looked at the 'level 1'behind the golden light with a complicated expression.
"We're here! This is the Hundred Flowers Valley. The Flower God has been living in seclusion here to take care of the Hundred Flowers."After flying for a long time, they had already arrived at the boundary of the Heavenly Dao Academy. Only then did the young Daoist descend from the clouds and land in a flower valley.
Living in such a remote place, it seemed that the flower god wasn't very powerful. His position in the Heavenly Dao College wasn't very high, right?
Meng Jingtian looked around and thought silently.
However, even so, this place was very beautiful. All kinds of flowers bloomed in his eyes. There were peach blossoms in spring, plum blossoms in winter, and chrysanthemums in autumn.
No wonder it is the territory of the god of flowers, flowers in this regardless of the season, the needs of the growing environment, open to the fullest.
Chapter 62
"Lord Flower God, a deity has come to visit!"The young Daoist bowed respectfully towards the boundless sea of flowers.
It was as if a breeze blew past, blowing up pieces of colorful flower petals. Those flower petals gathered in the wind, finally turning into a graceful young woman.
The moment the woman appeared, the world lost its color. All the light in the world gathered on the woman's body.
As expected of the goddess of flowers. She herself was the embodiment of beauty.
Meng Jingtian was dazed for a moment. What the F * ck! Why did an NPC look so freakish?
"You are that newborn god, right? It seems that your talent is indeed very high. Even the palace master has taken you in as a disciple."Without much flirting, the goddess of flowers only smiled faintly at Meng Jingtian and nodded to greet him.
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently pulled on a strand of black hair that drooped down beside his ear. Even with such an ordinary action, he appeared gentle and tender, full of amorous feelings.
"... I don't have any spells that I can teach you. However, since you are here, I can not lose the etiquette of receiving guests."After a moment of silence, the Flower God continued.
"Please!"With a wave of his hand, a stone table and a thatched cottage appeared in the Sea of flowers.
"You've just come to the Heavenly Dao College. I'm sure you don't have your own dojo. You can stay here for a while,"the flower god said gently and poured a glass of wine for Meng Jingtian.
"Thank you!"Meng Jingtian scratched his head and drank the wine that the flower God had just poured.
"Ding! This is your first time drinking the Hundred Flowers Brew. Spirit + 35!"
The system's notification made Meng Jingtian slightly startled. Then, he sighed with emotion. As expected of a God! It was a good thing to casually sell it!
In the hands of the players of the mysterious dragon country, such wine should be able to fetch an astronomical price!
Yet, the Flower God had casually brought it over to treat his guests. Compared to the other party, his god was a little inferior.
"Flower God, you are as beautiful as the sky. I presume you have a good relationship with people in the Heavenly Dao Academy, right? Since your spells are not suitable for me, can you introduce me to a few other gods?"Putting down the wine glass, meng Jingtian shamelessly asked.
Hearing this praise, the flower god covered his mouth and smiled. "Since you are the palace master's disciple, I'm sure they would be happy to get to know you. However... If you want me to help you contact them, I hope you can help me with one thing First!"
"Ding! Flower God's request: Grand Supreme Lao Jun's green bull often sneaks into flower valley to eat spiritual flowers. The flower god can not bear the disturbance. I hope you can communicate with Grand Supreme Lao Jun and make him restrain the Green Bull.".
[ mission time limit: 3 days. ]
[ mission reward: a group of eastern gods getting to know each other. ]
So it was a mission! Meng Jingtian laughed bitterly. It seemed that even if he became the disciple of the palace master of the Heavenly Dao College, he could not obtain something for free. This was the rule of the game!
"Accept!"After hesitating for a moment, Meng Jingtian still clicked accept.
Grand Supreme Laojun was a legendary character that was awesome. If tomorrow arranged the background according to the legend, then this grand supreme Laojun should also be awesome.
Otherwise, the god of flowers would not not have said it himself.
However, at the same time, if the background was according to the legend, he could still be considered as Grand Supreme Lao Jun's junior brother! For such a small matter, he should at least give himself some face, right?
"Recently, Lao Jun has been collecting spirit herbs in the nearby floating gold mountain. That Mountain is at the junction of the two palace barriers, not far from where I am."The god of flowers pointed to a mountain in the west and said, "Here, it's there!"
Meng Jingtian took a look and found that the floating gold mountain deserved its name. There was a strange tree on that mountain. When the sunlight fell on the crown of the tree, it reflected the golden light. It was really special.
"Little God, I'm Going Now!"Meng Jingtian saw that it wasn't far. He got up and bid farewell to the Flower God.
"Thank you incipient God Realm Expert!"The Flower God got up from the stone bench and bowed.
Meng Jingtian followed the Flower God's instructions and entered the floating gold mountain shortly.
However, as soon as he entered the mountain, he sensed a dangerous aura. Meng Jingtian reacted immediately and used the golden light to dodge.
The black dagger that was attacking Meng Jingtian turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared. However, a big hole was left on the ground.
"Are you the new God that everyone is talking about? There are so many gods in the Heavenly Dao Academy, why didn't you go and Find Them? Why did you find the Flower God? What were you guys talking about just now?"
A black figure walked out from behind the tree. He was tall and slender, and his appearance was handsome and demonic. He was not even twenty years old. Although he had black hair and black eyes, he did not seem like a god from the Heavenly Dao Academy.
Fantasy (Demonic God) : one of the main gods of the Tiandao Academy, controlling the Army of billions of Holy Spirits in the demonic realm.
Level: 1
Attributes: ? ? ?
Skills: ? ? ?
Meng Jingtian looked at the information of this god with an unfriendly expression. When he saw the level of this god, he let out a bitter laugh.
Another max-level big boss. He was probably the lowest level in this god Academy!
However, it seemed like he was the only player here. He had only come into contact with a bunch of ultimate bosses in this game in advance.
F * ck! The God's College was too dangerous. He had to return to the mysterious Dragon Country!
What kind of Demon God was this? Why was he so hostile towards him?
That's not right! Why would a main god from the Heavenly God's college appear in the Heavenly God's College?
Meng Jingtian pondered and thought of the question the demon God had asked. He turned his head to glance at the flower valley not far away. From this position, he could see everything in the Flower Valley.
Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes and said deliberately, "What are we talking about? Of course it's Something Romantic!"
The Demon God's brows jumped. He waved his hand and saw a group of fierce generals and strange beasts formed by black smoke charging toward Meng Jingtian.
"No, no, no! I was just joking!"Seeing this, Meng Jingtian immediately confirmed his guess and hurriedly raised his hand.
The demonic God only looked coldly at Meng Jingtian and did not stop his attack.
Meng Jingtian was helpless. Disaster came from the mouth. He had sought death, and even if he had to kneel, he had to survive!
He immediately used the forgotten ring's teleportation skill to dodge the attack.
The Demonic God's attack did not dissipate, but he did not continue to pursue. He only glanced at flower valley in the distance, turned around, and was about to leave.
This fellow left with ease. Meng Jingtian was slightly stunned, but he immediately chased after him and stopped him. "Hey, don't go! You Won't be able to catch a girl like this!"
...
"Look, I'm a good God who specializes in helping others! I just promised to help the flower God to talk to the Grand Supreme Laojun and save her spirit flower! If you need me, I Can Help You Too!"
Since he was the main god of the heavenly deity academy, his strength shouldn't be low. Maybe he could dig out a mission and get some good stuff!
"No Need!"The Demonic God answered without turning his head.
"Eh? Really Don't need it? TSK, what a pity for a beauty like the goddess of flowers! If you don't want it, then I'll take it."Meng Jingtian stood still and sighed. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
A chill instantly surrounded Meng Jingtian's entire body. The demonic God stopped and turned his head to stare at Meng Jingtian. His devilish face, which was between beauty and handsomeness, was full of anger.
"Look! Just look at her silently. Even if I don't want her, there will still be other people who will pursue her!"Meng Jingtian knew that he couldn't continue playing, otherwise, he might turn cold and welcome his first death in the game, he hurriedly said.
"But she is the god of the Heavenly Dao College, while I am the god of the Heavenly Dao College!"The demonic god sighed faintly and looked at the hundred flowers blooming in the distance. The peaceful and beautiful valley actually seemed a little lonely.
Chapter 63
"Aren't you a demonic god? I thought you were one of those lawless people. I didn't expect you to care so much about the rules of the secular world."Meng Jingtian curled his lips and said.
"So what if the eastern and western divine systems aren't compatible? If I like someone, I don't care what kind of obstacles are in front of me. I'll trample everything and walk to her side."
The demonic God smiled bitterly and shook his head. "If it's just the eastern and western divine systems that aren't compatible, it's fine. I can ignore it. But what about her? What will she think of me?"
Meng Jingtian stroked his chin and nodded. Indeed, he didn't expect this demonic God to be so considerate.
"But if you don't give it a try, how do you know if she cares about those rules? Is she biased against the gods of the Heavenly God Academy?"Following that, Meng Jingtian raised his head and asked the demonic god.
The Demon God was speechless. He just didn't dare to get this answer. He wasn't confident that the person he loved was that special.
"Alright! I'm going to look for the old lord. If you need any help, feel free to look for me! Of course, it would be best if you could repay my kindness with some compensation or something."He had already said what he needed to say, looking at the meditating demonic god, Meng Jingtian patted him on the shoulder and left.
The demonic God returned to his senses and turned his head to look at Meng Jingtian's back.
He reached out and brushed his shoulder, brushing away the non-existent dust. This new God was indeed very special.
As one of the main gods of the western God system, let alone a new God like Meng Jingtian who had just been born, even ordinary old gods would behave and be respectful in front of him. How could they be as jumpy as Meng Jingtian?
However, this seemed to have touched the demonic god.
Even a new god was so lawless and did not follow the rules. When had he ever been so timid?
At this moment, the demonic god seemed to see his former self. A demonic and arrogant aura suddenly appeared on his body, making him appear even more demonic.
He took large strides towards the flower valley ahead. He wanted to find that answer, regardless of whether the end result was good or bad.
Even if it was bad, he had to do his best to change it!
Meng Jingtian turned his head and looked at the back of the demonic god as it disappeared into the distance. He muttered, "Don't do it so easily! At least trigger some plot and give me a mission. The main God's skills should be pretty good, right?"
In Meng Jingtian's eyes, the demonic God had appeared here and had this plot. It couldn't be for no reason. It was either some hidden "Fortuitous encounter"or some "Mission".
Because this was not the real world, but a game. All the settings in the game should have their purpose and purpose.
Now that the Demonic God had started to act, he should have successfully triggered this plot. It was just that he did not know how it would develop next.
The Demonic God did not give Meng Jingtian a mission. Perhaps he still had to wait for the plot. Meng Jingtian continued to go deep into the floating gold mountain, taking advantage of this free time to find the old lord to do the Flower God's mission.
Not long after, a song drifted over from afar and attracted Meng Jingtian.
This song was ethereal and otherworldly. If one listened carefully to the content of the song, it was actually a dao formula that one could not understand at all.
Even though one could not understand it, the Inexplicable Dao rhythm in this song made people unconsciously immerse themselves in it.
Meng Jingtian instantly lost his mind. It was as if he was in the starry sky of the universe, in the middle of the mountains and seas.
He turned his head and saw the sun and the moon rotating. He lowered his head and saw the waves churning. As he took a step forward, the stars shifted.
Everything in the universe was completely presented in front of Meng Jingtian's eyes in the illusion created by this dao song.
As for himself, he seemed to have become a free spirit body in the world. Wherever his heart went, his body would go. Everything rotated, and he could see everything clearly when he opened his eyes.
"Ding! You have listened to the DAO formula. Your heart has sensed something. Spirit + 5!"The system notification woke up Meng Jingtian.
God's Academy is a good place! Meng Jingtian could not help but sigh.
Drinking wine also increased his attributes. Listening to a song also increased his attributes. What was the point of leveling up? He might as well stay here and enjoy life!
Who was the one who said that God's academy was too dangerous and wanted to return to the mysterious Dragon Country?
However, from this, one could see the difference between gods and ordinary npcs and players.
Even if they were at the same level, the attributes of gods were probably several times or more than that of ordinary npcs.
Moreover, these gods were almost at the Max level, close to the Max level.
If they were to really compare, there was no way they could be compared!
After waking up, Meng Jingtian hurriedly chased after the singing voice that gradually drifted into the distance.
A few minutes later, Meng Jingtian finally saw the singer's real body.
A thin old Daoist was sitting cross-legged on the back of a tall and sturdy green ox. He was holding a horsetail whisk and was chanting a dao incantation at a neither too fast nor too slow.
What an immortal scene! Meng Jingtian sighed in his heart. 𝒷𝓮𝒹𝓃ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Green Ox, Old Daoist! This must be the old Lord, right?
"Immortal, please wait! Are you the Old Lord?"Meng Jingtian unconsciously became more disciplined and asked the old Daoist politely. They seemed to be two completely different people compared to before in front of the Demon God.
The Green Ox stopped and the old Daoist turned his head to look at Meng Jingtian. He couldn't help but shake his horsetail whisk, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"I didn't expect teacher to actually accept a new God like you as a disciple! Strange! Strange!"After sighing twice, the old lord then asked again, "May I know why Junior Brother is calling me?"
Because of the title of "Hongjun's personal disciple", the old lord's attitude wasn't too bad. At least he could be considered to be quite amiable.
Meng Jingtian scratched his head and replied, "Junior brother is here for the goddess of flowers."
"Oh? Goddess of Flowers? I was careless. The goddess of Flowers Daoist sect is indeed nearby. This time, I'm here to pick herbs. I should pay a visit first."The old lord was not unruly, on the contrary, he seemed to be a bit confused. When Meng Jingtian said this, he suddenly understood.
"The goddess of flowers doesn't mind this matter. It's just that you, the Green Bull, occasionally run off to steal her spirit flowers. That's why you asked me to come over and talk to you. I hope senior brother can restrain you!"Seeing that the old lord was amiable, Meng Jingtian did not beat around the bush, he directly explained the purpose of his visit.
The mission reward was just to get to know the gods of the eastern gods. With Meng Jingtian's current status as the disciple of the Dao ancestor, it wasn't difficult to begin with. It was just that the Heavenly Dao College was vast, and he needed the goddess of flowers to pull some strings.
The goddess of flowers mission shouldn't be too difficult. It was just an ordinary errand.
However, just as Meng Jingtian finished speaking, the green bull under the old Lord suddenly glared at Meng Jingtian angrily. It opened its mouth and a flying sword surrounded by Green Qi flew towards Meng Jingtian.
"Black tortoise true body!"Meng Jingtian was very depressed. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and used his invincibility skill.
This creature from the god Academy, he would be injured and killed upon contact!
This Green Bull was also a level 140 boss. Meng Jingtian didn't dare to take its skill head-on.
...
Fortunately, the only difficulty of this mission seemed to be here. The Green Bull would attack the person who took the mission out of revenge.
Meng Jingtian used an invincible skill to block it. At this time, Old Lord had already shouted at Green Bull. Although Green Bull was still glaring at Meng Jingtian, he didn't dare to make any more unruly movements.
Chapter 64
"Junior martial brother, please tell the flower god that I know. I will not let this happen again. I will bring a gift to apologize to you another day!"The old lord lowered his eyes and raised his hand to pat the head of the Green Bull as he said to Meng Jingtian.
"Senior martial brother, don't worry! I will definitely deliver the message. I believe the Flower God will not blame senior martial brother too much."Meng Jingtian cupped his hands and said.
Even if the flower God wanted to blame him, he had to have the ability to do so!
If the demonic god was one of the main gods of the west, then the old Lord was one of the main gods of the east. Otherwise, the flower God wouldn't even need to rely on Meng Jingtian to remind him of this matter.
"Even if she doesn't blame me, this matter is still the old Daoist's negligence. I should apologize to her."The Old Lord shook his head slightly. As expected of a person who had attained the Dao. Even though his status and strength were very high, he didn't rely on such arrogance. He was able to distinguish right from wrong, he was both virtuous and virtuous.
"Senior brother is right. I have learned from you!"Meng Jingtian glanced at the mission that had been completed. He only needed to hand in the mission. No matter what the Old Lord said, he would just have to agree.
"That's right! Senior Brother, master has ordered me to learn spells from the gods in the Heavenly Dao Academy. I wonder if senior brother has anything to teach me?"Meng Jingtian took the opportunity to ask.
"Spells..."the old lord pondered for a moment and said, "I do have a spell that I can teach junior brother. However, I need junior brother to help me with something first."
Alright, it was another mission!
"What is it?"Meng Jingtian asked.
"Recently, I was thinking of refining a cauldron of nine revolutions revival pill, but I'm still short of a few medicinal ingredients. I hope junior brother can find them,"the old lord replied.
"Ding! Searching for medicinal ingredients: Lao Jun is short of medicinal ingredients for refining pills. I hope you can find them for him.".
Mission time limit: one month
Mission reward: God-grade skill, group immobilization technique
Mission Progress: Purple Gold Vine 1/0, Snow Bear King inner core 1/0, crimson spiritual grass 1/0." 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Three types of medicinal ingredients, and they were all god-grade ingredients. This mission was not simple at all!
The corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched. He opened the auction house to take a look, but there were no traces of these few ingredients at all. It seemed that he could only go and look for them one by one.
"Senior brother, don't worry. I will definitely find these materials. I Won't disturb senior brother from picking herbs."Even though he didn't have any leads, Meng Jingtian still patted his chest and promised. Then, he turned around and left.
Since he had already obtained the mission, there was no point in staying.
Meng Jingtian turned around and returned to the flower valley to hand in the mission to the Flower God. When he walked to the place where he had met the demonic god, he saw that the demonic God had a smile in his eyes. He just happened to come out of the Flower Valley.
"Why? Did you succeed?"In front of the demonic god, Meng Jingtian did not feel as pressured as he did in front of the Old Lord. He raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"As expected of her. She is indeed extraordinary and has no prejudice against things. We had a very good conversation!"The demonic God said with a smile.
Then, he paused for a moment as if he had thought of something. He clapped his hands and said, "Oh right! Since I have met you again, I really hope that you can help me with something."
Hearing that, Meng Jingtian's eyes lit up. It seemed that he had triggered the quest.
He immediately asked, "What favor? I'm always happy to help others."
"When we were chatting just now, she mentioned a strange flower called holy orchid from the west. I hope that we can have a chance to meet it. I want you to help me find this holy orchid,"the Demon God explained.
"Ding! Holy Orchid Blooming: The Demon God hopes that you can help him find the holy orchid so that he can make a beautiful woman smile.".
[ mission time limit: 10 days. ].
[ mission reward: god-level skill, divine illusion! ]
"West? Isn't this area a little too wide? Where should I go to find it?"Meng Jingtian accepted the mission. Seeing that there wasn't even a guide, he couldn't help but ask.
"It should be within the borders of the unsetting Sun Empire. I Can't leave the Divine Academy. I'll leave this matter to you. Go and come back as soon as possible!"Saying that, the demonic god waved his hand and summoned an illusory door. He pushed Meng Jingtian into the door.
"F * ck! How should I Return?"Just as he stepped out of the door, Meng Jingtian realized that the scene before him was completely different. It was no longer within the Divine Academy, so he quickly turned around and asked.
The door that the demonic God had opened quickly disappeared. Meng Jingtian heard the demonic god's fading voice, "Go to My Divine Hall!"
In the blink of an eye, the demonic god and the teleportation door all disappeared without a trace. Only Meng Jingtian and the group of monsters were left staring at each other.
He opened the world channel and saw that they were all written in English.
Am I in the European server?
"Love makes people blind!"Meng Jingtian couldn't help but sigh and sigh.
Looking at the Scarlet Sunset in the sky, Meng Jingtian chose to log off and go on a mission the next day.
The next day, Meng Jingtian went online to prepare for a mission. However, as soon as he appeared, he saw a fireball coming toward him.
"Golden Light!"Meng Jingtian dodged it.
It was a group of about ten blonde-haired, blue-eyed Caucasians. They were chasing after a man and a woman. Meng Jingtian had almost been injured by accident, and he could not understand what they were talking about.
He opened the translator and understood what they were talking about.
It turned out that they were fighting over a boss. The two black-haired men and women were originally fighting the boss with this group. However, after the boss was defeated, the other party members felt that these two people did not contribute much, they were only given half of the gold coins that they should have received.
Naturally, the two black-haired men and women did not agree. They argued with the other party members, but they did not expect to be kicked out of the party and even hunted down.
"F * ck your mother!"Seeing that there was only a sliver of HP left, the male player named Bai Ling could not help but blurt out a national curse.
Meng Jingtian glanced at him in surprise. A national?
"Divine Recovery!"Seeing that Bai Ling was about to be killed by a wind blade from the opposing party, Meng Jingtian attacked because of Bai Ling's curse.
"+ 25721″an illusory green font that could be considered terrifying emerged from Bai Ling's body. Bai Ling, who was only level 30, was instantly healed to full HP.
The HP bar that was almost emptied suddenly filled up, causing the blonde-haired and blue-eyed Caucasian party to be instantly stunned. Even Bai Ling himself was stunned.
What was going on? Why was his health bar suddenly full?
Everyone present could not help but look at Meng Jingtian. They had originally thought that he was just a player who had just logged in and did not intend to pay attention to him. However, this skill..
What the F * ck was this hidden NPC?
"Are You Chinese?"Meng Jingtian opened his mouth and asked Bai Ling and Bai Yu.
...
"UH... Yes! Are You... a player?"Bai Ling was rather clever. He pulled Bai Yu and ran to Meng Jingtian's side and asked in disbelief.
Was a player really that heaven-defying? A skill that directly added a tube of health, was he going to let anyone else play with it?
Thinking of this, Bai Ling guessed that Meng Jingtian should be a hidden wet nurse, and secretly said, "Thank you for your help. They have a lot of people, so let's leave quickly! I've already notified the people in the gang to Come and rescue us."
"Leave? Why should we leave? It's just... Thirteen people! I heard that this number is very unlucky in the west, right?"Meng Jingtian looked at the white team opposite him, counted for a moment, and said with a smile.
Chapter 65
The members of the squad looked at each other and fell silent for a while. They had probably used a translator to figure out what Meng Jingtian had just said.
One of the Warriors, who was wearing heavy armor and holding a silver greatsword, immediately glared at Meng jingtian and said, "It seems that you are also Chinese?"
"13 is the number of demons, and we are the demons who sent you to Hell!"
"Oh? Really? I thought I was the Devil!"Meng Jingtian said with a smile. He didn't seem nervous at all.
His relaxed attitude angered the team even more. One of the mages in the team immediately waved his staff.
"Tornado!"A tornado rushed in front of Meng Jingtian and the others.
Bai Yu's face turned pale. He looked at Meng jingtian and said angrily, "Why did you provoke them? There are thirteen of them, and our numbers are just a fraction of theirs. Are You Stupid?"
Meng Jingtian ignored Bai Yu. With the suppression of his attributes due to his level, he easily dodged this skill.
Meanwhile, Bai Ling and Bai Yu, who did not manage to dodge in time, were lifted into the air by the tornado.
"Something 594"
"Something 611"
"Something 582"
..
This "Tornado"was also a multi-stage damage control skill. The two siblings were trapped within it, and could only watch as their HP dropped. There was nothing they could do.
Bai Yu, who had half of his HP, was quickly drained to the point where he was on the verge of death. When the other members of the party saw this, they began to attack as well.
Meng Jingtian took a look and knew that he could not continue playing. Otherwise, if the other party threw a skill at him, he would have a lot of life-saving skills, and even with the suppression of his attributes, it would not be a problem for him to take it head-on.
However, Bai Ling and his sister would definitely be killed instantly!
Since they were so lucky to encounter Chinese people as soon as they arrived, Meng Jingtian naturally would not let them be killed so easily and return to the Resurrection Point. He was still hoping that they could explain the situation of the European server to him and lead the way!
"Sky-burning Fire!"Looking at the group of people who were standing in a disorderly manner, Meng Jingtian directly threw a group attack skill at them.
"Something 50411"
It was also an AOE skill, but the spellcaster's "Tornado"just now had dealt several hundred points of damage to the Bai siblings.
As for Meng Jingtian's "Sky-incinerating fire", the first attack instantly killed twelve people.
There was only one left. It was a knight wearing thick armor and holding a long spear. He was sitting on a large horse that was also covered in armor.
His defense attribute was much higher than the others in the party, and his HP was also much higher. The first jump of the 'sky-burning fire'only hit him with more than 30,000 hp.
"Devil... Devil!"Even so, the knight only had time to cry out these words with a pale face. Then, he was instantly killed by the second jump of the 'sky-burning fire'.
"..."
Bai Ling and his sister, who were on the verge of death, were dumbfounded and could not speak.
Bai Yu's face was still a little red when he recalled the words that he had angrily criticized Meng Jingtian just now.
"Level 42!"At this moment, Bai Ling blurted out in shock. In his shock just now, he checked Meng Jingtian's information. The level that he was aiming for was so shocking that it made people speechless.
"Level 42? No Way! The highest level on the ranking list is only level 35!"Bai Yu said in puzzlement when he heard that. He opened Meng Jingtian's information and looked at it in disbelief.
"... it really is Level 42. How is that possible!"Bai Yu exclaimed and covered his mouth.
"Isn't it just level 42? Can you two stop being so surprised?"Meng Jingtian curled his lips and said.
"That's right! Look, the number one player on the level ranking list is still level 35. How can there be a Level 42 player?"Bai Ling opened the level ranking list and looked at Meng jingtian suspiciously.
Following that, she patted Meng Jingtian's shoulder and said, "Brother, did you use some sort of cheat? Or did you get a bug? Or are you from the game in the future?"
The corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched. This guy's imagination was really big. If he had come back from the game in the future, how could he be only Level 42?
"I came from the national server. It's probably because of this that your level ranking hasn't changed!"Meng Jingtian shrugged and said.
"National Server? How is that possible! The border is not open at all. Those border guards are all level 100. Every five steps is a sentry, and every ten steps is a sentry. How did you get here? How can you smuggle here?"Bai Ling asked in surprise. b𝚎dn𝚘v𝚎l.𝚌𝚘m
"I didn't smuggle here. I came from above fair and square!"Meng Jingtian pointed to the sky and curled his lips.
Would I tell you that I was thrown here by the Devil God?
"You should be overseas, right? Is this the Empire of the unsetting Sun? You're new here. Brother, please take care of me!"Then, Meng Jingtian put his arm around Bai Ling's shoulder and said in a friendly manner.
The corner of Bai Ling's mouth twitched. Who the F * ck is taking care of WHO! ! With your strength, do you still need me to take care of you?
"Has the national server developed to such an extent? The progress of this game is actually so much faster than that of the European Server?"Bai Yu could not help but sigh with emotion.
"Oh right, brother, with your strength, how is it in the National Server?"Bai Ling also came back to his senses and asked seriously.
"It's just so-so! Just a little stronger than an ordinary person,"Meng Jingtian said with his eyes narrowed.
"Sigh! If we had known earlier, we would have returned to the country earlier. This European server is really not a place for people to stay!"Hearing that, the brother and sister said dejectedly.
Meng Jingtian was about to ask why it was not a place for people to stay. After all, they were just playing games. How was it different?
However, he saw a group of black-haired and black-eyed Chinese people rushing over.
"Are You Alright? Didn't I tell you not to farm monsters with those foreign devils? They are all a pack of hungry wolves. Not only do they look down on us, they are also insatiable."The leader was a player holding a longsword, the player who looked like a warrior was about 1.8 meters tall. His muscles were well-proportioned, and he looked quite sunny and handsome.
As he walked over, he asked the Bai siblings loudly.
This should be the people from the guild that the siblings had mentioned before, right?
However, Meng Jingtian took a look and found that their information did not show the name of the Guild. It should be a guild that had gathered people, but had yet to establish a guild. It was not recognized by the game.
That was true. Even if it was the national server, apart from "The world", there were only two or three guilds that had been established. It was not easy to get a guild formation token.
Moreover, this group of people was in the European server, and they were ostracized by the local players. It was even more difficult to obtain the guild formation token.
...
"We didn't want to either. It was originally a wild boss that we discovered. Just as we were about to inform you, that small team came. Rather than having the boss snatched away and not getting anything, we could only take the risk and fight with the tiger for its skin. We fought with them together,"Bai Ling replied with a bitter smile.
"I didn't expect those people to be so ruthless. They worked so hard to fight the boss, and they only gave us half of the salary!"Bai Yu crossed his arms and said indignantly.
Chapter 66
"Where are they?"After a short exchange of pleasantries, the leading player asked the Bai siblings.
The siblings could not help but look at each other. With a strange expression, they looked at Meng jingtian and said, "I was killed by this brother and sent back to the Resurrection Point just now!"
"He... is not... Meng Jingtian!"The player looked at Meng Jingtian as well, but his eyes widened in shock. He shouted in disbelief.
Meng Jingtian was a little puzzled. Why did this guy look like he had seen a ghost? Why was he even more surprised than the Bai Ling siblings? With his mental strength, how did he become the manager of a gang?
Just when Meng Jingtian was secretly complaining, he didn't expect the other party's action to be even more unexpected. He jumped up and patted Meng Jingtian's shoulder in a childish and funny manner, surprised, he said, "When did you come to country Y? You didn't even tell me!"
Meng Jingtian frowned and suddenly felt that this action was somewhat familiar. Even the person in front of him also felt somewhat familiar.
"Luo Tian..."do I know this guy? Meng Jingtian looked at the other party's information and pondered with a frown.
"You're that Meng Jingtian from city a, right? It's me! I've only been gone for five years, and you don't recognize any brothers? Back then, we were as good as wearing the same pair of underpants!"Luo Tian raised his eyebrows, he punched Meng Jingtian on the shoulder and asked.
"F * ck! Little Xiaotian!"Meng Jingtian came to a sudden realization and came back to his senses. He stared at the handsome young man in front of him in disbelief and shouted!
The corner of Luo Tian's mouth twitched. "You still remember that! Isn't he just one day younger than you? I Can't get rid of this nickname of Little Xiaotian, okay?"
"It's not that I don't know him. It's just that I lost my mind for a moment. Everyone else changes when they grow up, but you have changed when you grow up!"Meng Jingtian looked at Luo Tian in front of him and sighed.
"I remember that five years ago, you were black, thin, and short. You're completely different from now, okay?"
"Tomorrow"couldn't create a character by itself. As a result, the few virtual reality games in the past didn't have the ability to adjust their appearance. What they looked like in the game was basically what they looked like in the real world.
"You can't insult this Bro Like This!"Luo Tian rolled his eyes and glared at Meng Jingtian.
Meng Jingtian smiled. He knew that Luo Tian wasn't such a petty person. He shrugged and said, "What I said is the truth!"
"Forget it, I won't argue with you! When did you come to country Y?"Luo Tian curled his lips and said generously.
"I didn't go abroad."Meng Jingtian shook his head and said.
"You're not being kind, are you? It's fine if you didn't inform your brothers, but you still don't admit it after being caught?"Luo Tian slapped Meng Jingtian's shoulder and said unhappily.
"I really didn't go abroad. I just came here in the game. I have a mission!"Meng Jingtian smiled bitterly and explained.
"Cross-server mission? You're bragging, keep bragging!"Luo Tian crossed his arms and looked at Meng Jingtian with disbelief.
At this time, it was already good enough to have a cross-server quest. Cross-server quest? who was he trying to fool?
"You told me to Brag!"Seeing that he didn't believe him, Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched. He didn't continue to explain and followed his words.
"I'm the number one on the Chinese server level ranking board!"
"I get god-tier weapons when I enter the game!"
"None of my skills are below god-tier!"
"I can wipe out a group of people with just one skill!"
"Stop! Stop! Stop! Brother, I F * cking admire you! I admit defeat! You can really brag, I can already see a bunch of bulls flying in the sky! Please do me a favor and spare them!"Luo Tian was stunned, then, he shouted.
"Two Jokers!"A few gang members who came with Luo Tian rolled their eyes and muttered.
The Bai siblings looked at each other and said weakly, "Well... I think he might not be bragging when he said that he's number one on the ranking board in China!"
"Brother Luo Tian, look at his level..."
After being reminded, Luo Tian was stunned. He opened Meng Jingtian's profile and looked at the level 42 that was clearly there. He was instantly stunned.
"F * ck! Old Meng, are you F * cking serious..."
"I told you, I'm here for a cross-server mission!"Meng Jingtian shrugged his shoulders.
"So you really didn't go abroad?"Luo Tian asked.
"No!"Meng Jingtian nodded his head affirmatively.
"Awesome! At your level, you're probably not only the number one in China, but also the number one in the entire server, right?"After explaining it clearly, Luo Tian was slightly moved. However, he still patted Meng Jingtian's shoulder and said happily.
Their relationship was indeed very good. They could not be bothered to be happy for the other party's strength and not be jealous.
"Even if you haven't left the country, since you're here, I, as the host, have to treat you well. Let's go back to the city and treat you to a drink!"Then, Luo Tian laughed heartily and dragged Meng Jingtian away.
However, this time, he saw the stupa blade on Meng Jingtian's back stop in its tracks and open Meng Jingtian's equipment to take a look.
"F * ck!"In an instant, the group of people who were about to return to the city were shocked by Luo Tian's exclamation.
"Leader! Can you stop being so F * cking dramatic?"A gang member who followed him patted his chest and said snappily.
"Did you... did you look at his equipment?"Luo Tian turned his head and asked the people around him.
The group of people shook their heads in confusion. 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝗼𝐦
"It's really a god tier weapon! Brother, are you telling the truth?"Luo Tian shouted in shock.
"The bull is flying in the sky, what do you think?"Meng Jingtian smiled and replied.
Luo Tian choked and curled his lips, "Alright! I take back what I said just now. I didn't see any bull flying in the sky."
"Brother, what mission are you doing? Can you tell me?"Luo Tian asked curiously.
"It's just a search mission, to find a flower."Meng Jingtian smiled bitterly.
Yes, a cross-server mission sounded awesome, but in fact, he was only here to find a flower.
"Find a Flower?"Luo Tian was stunned, and then looked at Meng jingtian suspiciously.
After all, a cross-server mission, looking for a flower? This sounded really F * cking impossible!
"Did you see an ox flying in the sky again? Do you still want me to continue bragging?"Meng Jingtian glanced at him and asked.
Luo Tian smiled embarrassedly and said, "I didn't mean that. What flower are you looking for? This brother has been here for so long. I'll ask around for you."
...
"Holy orchid! Have you heard of it?"Meng Jingtian also meant it. He had planned to let the two lead the way when he saved the white feather siblings.
After all, he was unfamiliar with this European server. It would be a total loss for him to look for it himself!
"Never heard of it! Wait, I'll help you ask the others in the gang!"Luo Tian shook his head and said.
While speaking, a line of people have returned to a city, Depula City.
Chapter 67
Flying Dragon Tavern. This was the equivalent of the mysterious dragon country's fragrant smell restaurant in European servers. There were chain stores in almost every city.
And now, Luo Tian was leading a group of his gang members to entertain Meng Jingtian in this tavern.
Along the way, Meng Jingtian also learned from him about the situation of some Chinese people in European servers.
As the saying goes, non-chinese people have different hearts.
Although this contradiction was not obvious in real life, after entering the game, because the game itself was a world of fighting and killing, this kind of rejection seemed to be magnified a little. 𝒷𝓮𝒹𝓃ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Almost all the European server local players, when they saw Chinese players mixed in the European server, they instinctively rejected them.
Just like what happened to Bai Ling and his sister, there were countless instances of them losing their "Wages"when they fought the boss together.
There were also instances of them being treated unfairly when they bought equipment and potions, and their asking prices were several times higher.
The group boss event rejected Chinese players and did not allow them to join the group.
Some players who had a strong sense of rejection even formed groups to kill Chinese players for fun.
As a result, the Chinese players in the European server were in a very difficult situation. It was fine if they could not touch the boss, but it was fine if they bought potions and equipment at a high price. They might even encounter unexpected disasters if they went out to farm monsters, they would be killed by those local players who were biased towards the European server.
Under such circumstances, the Chinese players could only form teams to keep warm. They formed some pure Chinese players'guilds.
Luo Tian's gathering was one of these pure Chinese players'guilds.
With a wave of his hand, the elders and elites of the Guild rushed over to the tavern to meet up. They warmly welcomed Meng Jingtian, the Guild leader, by sending out the tabloids.
However, no one was able to give out any information about holy orchid.
Meng Jingtian did not dwell on this matter. It was not easy for him to meet up with his old friends, so he temporarily put aside the matter of the quest. The group of people chatted and laughed, raising their glasses to invite wine, and discussing some of the past events.
Just as the group of people were exchanging glasses and chatting happily, a group of European players wearing armor and mage robes barged in.
"Luo Tian! You're Getting Bolder and Bolder! You Dare to kill people in my gang? Who Did It? Stand up for yourself!"The leader of the group, a handsome blond man, glanced at the group of people, he spoke in a deep voice, as if he was the owner of this place.
However... who were these people? Was he sure that he had heard the report of the gang members that were killed?
Meng Jingtian looked at this guy's information and curled his lips into a smile.
Name: Philip delase
Level:
Race: Human
Class: Shadow Assassin (hidden)
Talent: Shadow (agility + 5%)
Skills: Shadow Stab, Black Blade, Shadow Kill..
The current players had all entered the guild. To the European players, the guild that China had mentioned was more like an ancient game. It was a class that was more suited to the local situation.
Philip should be an elite among the European players. After all, he was only level 35, and he was already level 34. Moreover, he was a hidden class.
There was a reason for him to be so arrogant.
Philip did not finish listening to the reports from the gang members. When the gang members were selecting their vice-gang members, he had been paying attention to the gang members in order to win their hearts.
When he found out that a group of gang members had been killed by the players, he only asked a general question before he gathered a group of people to look for trouble.
The gang members who had been killed did not know Meng Jingtian, so they gave priority to mentioning the names of the Bai Ling siblings.
There were not many Chinese people in DEPRA, and Philip had often interacted with Luo Tian's gang. That was why he had found them so quickly.
"So what if you killed them? Who can be blamed for being inferior?"As the leader of this group of Chinese players, Luo Tian naturally could not let down his aura. He immediately stood up and said disdainfully.
"Good! You have guts! I think you guys don't want to live in DEPRA anymore!"Philip was stunned. He did not expect Luo Tian to be so stubborn. He threatened them out of anger.
After all, in the past negotiations, due to reality, the Chinese players had no choice but to back down.
Philip brought his men to look for trouble this time. He originally thought that Luo Tian would back down as usual. He would admit defeat, apologize to his gang members, and compensate them with something.
This was the European server, their territory. They had an absolute advantage in numbers and resources.
Things did not go according to plan. Philip could only glare at Luo Tian and the others. He turned around and said, "Let's Go!"
This was a safe zone. Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to make a move here.
He had plenty of ways to punish Luo Tian.
For example, hunting the members of the gathering brotherhood would make it difficult for them to even go out and level up. If they could not even level up, how could they continue playing this game?
They couldn't just hide in the city and practice their life skills, right?
At that time, these gang members would put a lot of pressure on Luo Tian. Philip didn't believe that he would dare to not lower his head.
"Wait! Did I let you go?"Meng Jingtian suddenly stood up and called out to Philip.
"Who are you?"Hearing Meng Jingtian's arrogant words, Philip stopped and turned around. When he saw that it was a stranger, he frowned and questioned.
"Didn't you ask who killed your gang members? I did. So What?"Meng Jingtian smiled indifferently and asked.
"You! You're courting death!"Philip's expression changed a few times as he glared at Meng Jingtian.
However, even though he said that Meng Jingtian was courting death, he didn't have any intention of taking action. This was a safe zone.
"You have guts! Since you dare to stand out, do you dare to follow me out of the city?"Philip glared at Meng Jingtian and asked.
"Out of the city? Why are we going out of the city? Why are we going out of the city?"Meng Jingtian asked with a smile.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he threw a divine punishment at Philip.
The Level 2 divine punishment was already a small aoe skill. It instantly killed Philip and the others and sent them back to the revival point for free. It also gave them a "God forsaken"buff.
...
"..."
The Gathering Brotherhood members who were originally angry and had their fists clenched tightly stared at Philip and the others were instantly stunned.
Even Luo Tian had only returned to his country God's son after a long time. He said in disbelief as if he was sleepwalking, "What the F * ck! Brother, is this really a skill that can wipe out a whole group of people?"
"No, no! It's all just bragging."Meng Jingtian smiled and looked at Luo Tian.
Luo Tian smiled embarrassedly, "Brother, can you stop talking about this? I was wrong, okay? I'll believe whatever you say now!"
"No... Brother Meng, you killed so many people in the safe zone. You're going to spend the rest of your life in prison!"Bai Ling came back to his senses and reminded him.
"Do you see any npcs who care about me?"Meng Jingtian glanced at a team of silver-armored patrolling guards who had just passed by the entrance of the tavern.
"... Brother Meng, what kind of cheat is this? Share it with us! After suffering from the anger of these foreign devils for so long, even if we have to use the cheat, we will torture them mercilessly!"
"That's right! It's better to enjoy it alone than to enjoy it together. Brother Meng, share this cheat with us!"
The rest of the gang members started talking one after another.
...
Chapter 68
"Have you heard of anyone who created a cheat that can be used in tomorrow? I really didn't use a cheat!"Meng jingtian laughed bitterly in response to everyone's questions.
The few members of the gathering looked at each other, in the end, they could only shake their heads. "I don't think so. I have a friend who specializes in playing with those cheats. I heard from him that the firewall of tomorrow's system is as strong as anything. Forget about the cheats, even if we wanted to go in and get some information, we wouldn't be able to."
"This is a game developed by the United Nations! Do you think the security system is at the national level?"Another person sighed.
"I don't know, but I heard that the United Nations is still vigorously promoting this game in war-torn areas and poor areas. I don't know, it's just a game. How is it worth the attention of the United Nations?"Speaking of the security system of tomorrow.., the group of people gradually distanced themselves from the topic.
It seemed that they also believed Meng Jingtian's words. They had all heard about the safety system of "Tomorrow"!
If Meng Jingtian's performance just now was too heaven-defying and out of the ordinary, they wouldn't have asked this question.
"No, Old Meng, you didn't use cheats. Why is it that killing people in the Safety Zone is nothing?"Luo Tian wasn't so easily led astray, so he continued to ask.
"You all know that tomorrow is very special. The identity system is exclusive to tomorrow. It's probably because my random identity is special, right?"Meng Jingtian shrugged, he picked up a large glass of beer on the table in front of him and took a sip.
"Identity?"Luo Tian was startled and asked curiously, "Old Meng, what's Your Identity?"
"God!"Meng Jingtian spread his hands and said with a relaxed smile.
"God? There's such an identity! This F * * K... Isn't it too unfair?"Luo Tian was suddenly confused. His reincarnated identity was just an ordinary warrior clan.
Moreover, this clan only had him and a cheap NPC father left.
Not only that, that cheap NPC father often went missing for him.
There was once a quest that needed to be handed over to the NPC father. He waited for two days before that damned father appeared!
At this moment, looking at Meng Jingtian's random identity, Luo Tian only wanted to hide in a corner and cry silently for a while. This F * cking comparison was infuriating! 𝒷𝓮𝒹𝓃ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
"Fair? Didn't you see the advertisement for 'tomorrow'? This is an unfair game, a second chance to start a new life."Meng Jingtian raised his claws and gestured with two fingers as he laughed.
Now, he had a deep understanding of this advertising line.
"Don't say anything! Brother, come! If you become a god, won't you have to become a god's messenger or something?"Luo Tian raised a beer cup that was half the size of his head and toasted with Meng Jingtian.
Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched. "Don't think so, okay? Even if I am a god, I will level up one level at a time. I won't be maxed out as soon as I enter the game! I don't have that function yet!"
"You can't be a god's messenger. Give your brother... a blessing! That's fine, right?"Luo Tian scratched his head and asked again.
"I heard from those kids in the gang that you can get this blessing even if you go to the temple to worship a god. You're a living God sitting in front of your brother. It's not too much to give a blessing, right?"
"That's right! That's right! Brother Meng, give me a blessing!"The other gang members also echoed with Bright Eyes.
Meng Jingtian hesitated for a moment. A Blessing? He really hadn't tried it before. Perhaps... it really could be done?
Meng Jingtian looked at the skill that he had been born with, 'belief halo'. He also had the intention to give it a try.
Unlike the passive skill, belief halo, which increased the NPC's friendliness, this 'belief halo'was a skill that actively increased the buffs of friendly units.
Perhaps it was because it was a skill unique to gods, but the cost of using this skill was faith.
There weren't many npcs with faith in Meng Jingtian, and his faith wasn't much either, so his recovery was slow. Meng Jingtian already had a powerful god's punishment spell to take care of himself, so he didn't consider using this support skill.
As a result, this skill was gradually forgotten in a corner. Now that Luo Tian and the others mentioned God's "Blessing,"Meng Jingtian wanted to give it a try.
"Alright then! I'll give it a try!"Meng Jingtian put down his wine glass and replied.
Then, he locked his target on Luo Tian and used "Faith blessing"!
"Ding! Congratulations! You have received the God's blessing. You can faintly feel an inexplicable strength awakening in your body!"
The moment the skill took effect, Luo Tian heard the system notification.
However, he was a little puzzled. Shouldn't he have received some kind of blessing effect?
Before he could solve his doubts, as the system's notification sounded, he felt an inexplicable strength surging in his body.
That strength seemed to come from his blood, boiling and surging, making Luo Tian unable to control his emotions.
"Ah!"Luo Tian couldn't help but shout. He couldn't help but stand up, raise his fist, and smash the thick wooden table in front of him into pieces. The wine and fruits on the table scattered all over the ground.
"F * ck! is the blessing not good enough? Little Tian, you don't have to be so angry, right? At most, I'll give one to you when I level up one day in the future."Meng Jingtian was confused, he stood up to avoid the splashing wine. He was also puzzled. Luo Tian wasn't such a person!
Or could it be that after five years, this guy had become so irritable?
"Leader! What are you doing? Those vampire npcs are going to bankrupt us!"The members of the gathering brotherhood exclaimed one after another.
"No, it's not that!"Luo Tian tried hard to suppress the rage in his heart. He panted heavily and said, "I don't know why, but I seem to be affected by the skill. I'm very irascible, and I have a strong desire to destroy!"
"Leader... you don't have to find such an excuse, do you?"? "This is just a game. Other than letting people kill, pit, and steal the boss, how can a single skill affect your mood?"The gang members looked at Luo Tian in disbelief, they looked at Luo Tian with an expression that said, "Don't treat me as a fool.".
"I really didn't lie to you!"Luo Tian said helplessly. However, he could no longer suppress the rage in his heart. That surging hot blood filled him with the desire to destroy everything.
Therefore, he couldn't help but start to fight in the tavern again.
Meng Jingtian frowned slightly. Looking at Luo Tian who was out of control at this moment, he suddenly recalled the kind of danger he felt in front of Hongjun.
Perhaps, Luo Tian really wasn't lying.
Although he didn't know why, the npcs and other special things in this game might really have the ability to affect the players'consciousness!
"Stop! If you don't Stop Now, Don't blame me for Killing You!"At this moment, the owner of the tavern also appeared and shouted at Luo Tian.
This was a level 75 warrior NPC. His muscular body was bulging, and his large round face was covered with a brown beard. He looked very valiant.
Chapter 69
"Don't! Don't! Gounod, we will compensate you!"The members of the Congregation for Justice naturally wouldn't watch their leader being slapped to death by an NPC, so they quickly came over to greet him.
"Compensate?"Gounod shook the muscles on his chest and glanced at Luo Tian who was still smashing. "At least 5,000 gold coins!"
The faces of the members of the Congregation for Justice changed instantly. They looked at Luo Tian with sad faces as if they had eaten a fly. Their association was really going to go bankrupt!
The Deputy Zhao Yiyun thought for a long time and said, "Forget it. You'd better slap our leader to death!"
"Cough Cough!"Meng Jingtian couldn't help but laugh. He glanced at Luo Tian. This kid was really miserable! Wasn't it just 5,000 gold coins?
Because this place was Luo Tian's territory, Meng Jingtian didn't make a move. He planned to let Luo Tian's subordinates take care of it themselves.
But now, it seemed that he had no choice but to make a move.
"Hey, that... Gounod, right? I'll pay. Isn't it just 5,000 gold coins? Let him smash it! I'll pay whatever he throws!"Meng Jingtian called out to the NPC who was about to slap Luo Tian to death.
Goodred looked over when he heard this, but his expression changed. He stretched out his hand and made some sort of gesture in front of his chest. That fierce face of his appeared particularly pious at this moment.
"How dare you ask for treasures from the Lord God? Excuse me, please let him smash it as he pleases!"Goodred instantly turned into a meek little sheep and said without any principles.
The Gathering Brotherhood members were instantly speechless. They glanced at Meng Jingtian. This identity of a god was basically a cheat that came with the game, right?
This difference in treatment was too obvious!
"Ding! Congratulations, you have awakened your dragon bloodline and obtained a hidden class: Dragon Warrior! Please go to the NPC Augustine to accept the class change quest!"
Two minutes had passed, and the uncontrollable rage in Luo Tian's heart had gradually subsided. The system notification sounded in his ear, but it made him freeze on the spot.
A blessing to give him a hidden class?
Augustine, wasn't that his cheap NPC father?
Why would he ask him to accept the class change quest? Could it be... he was born in a family with a hidden class, but he didn't realize it at all!
Or was it Meng Jingtian who gave him the blessing today!
"Eh? You're not going to throw it? Look, I've already communicated with the boss for you, but you only threw it so little, doesn't that make me lose face?"Seeing this, Meng Jingtian also walked over, patted Luo Tian's shoulder, and joked.
"Don't be silly! Guess What Your Blessing gave me just now?"Luo Tian rolled his eyes, and then faintly asked with some excitement.
Hidden Class! Although it was far inferior to Meng Jingtian's status as a god, who would be so stupid as to compete with this monster?
Just this hidden class alone was enough to drive Luo Tianle crazy. His luck was changing!
There was no monster like Meng Jingtian in the European server. He was unrivaled on the level ranking board, encouraging other players to work hard at their levels.
Therefore, in terms of average level, he was a few levels lower than the China region.
Also, because there were no outstanding characters, the players were chasing each other very quickly. Luo Tian was also level 34.
He had once fought with Philip in the wild. Although they were of the same level, he had lost because of the suppression of this class.
Philip was a hidden class, but he was not.
But now, because of Meng Jingtian's blessing, he had awakened that bloodline and obtained a chance to change his class into a hidden class!
Luo Tian felt that his wish had been fulfilled, and he actually felt that he had no regrets in this life.
At this moment, he couldn't help but want to show off to Meng Jingtian and the members of the gang.
"What did you get? What happened just now was too strange!"Hearing his words, Meng Jingtian also cooperated and asked. He really wanted to know what had happened just now.
Could he still casually give this blessing to others?
If such a "Madman"appeared every time, his blessing might not be a blessing, but a curse!
"Hidden Class! With this blessing of yours, the system notified me that I have awakened some dragon bloodline and can change my class to Dragon Bloodline Warrior!"Luo Tian said with a loud laugh.
"What? Hidden Class!"The gang members who were still full of resentment about Luo Tian's smashing just now and almost made them bankrupt suddenly cried out in surprise.
"Brother Meng! Me! Look at me, I want to give my blessing too!"
"No, Old Zhao! Get lost! Did you arrive first? Line Up! Line Up!"Bai Ling pushed Zhao Yiyun and shouted.
"I should be the first one. I was sitting next to the gang leader just now, so I should be the first one to line up!"Another elder of the gang also shouted.
"I want to hide my job too! Brother Meng, you will be our boss from now on!"
"Get lost! I'm still your boss! How can you guys change jobs in front of me like this?"Luo Tian's mouth twitched as he rolled his eyes and berated.
However, the group of people were all laughing and laughing. They knew that it was just a joke.
"Alright, everyone, quiet down! I think it's not that easy to create a hidden job. Luo Tian must have his own reasons,"Meng Jingtian raised his hand and comforted everyone.
"What I gave you is probably just an ordinary God's blessing. I Can't just give you all a hidden class. Then, what are the other players playing for?"
Everyone looked at each other. Finally, they looked at Meng Jingtian with Strange Gazes. There was no need for you to give us all a hidden class.
Now, ordinary players were nothing compared to you!
"It's fine! It's fine! This blessing isn't easy to get! I saw a post, and someone calculated the probability of obtaining a god's blessing."
"The probability of obtaining a god's blessing is one in 30,000. Only one out of 30,000 people can obtain a god's blessing."
"The probability of obtaining a god's blessing is one in 100,000 in a second-tier city!"
"The god of a first-tier city has a 1 in 500,000 chance of obtaining the Blessing!"
"The main cities and imperial cities worship the main god. I've never heard of any player obtaining the blessing of a main god."
After a short period of silence, the crowd began to clamor again.
"There are levels in the blessing?"Meng Jingtian had been busy with quests and leveling up, so he hadn't had the time to explore other aspects of the game in detail. He couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Of course! Brother Meng, Don't you know? In the past, we also thought that blessings didn't have levels, but as more and more people received blessings, we realized that most of these blessings are different."
...
Seeing that Meng Jingtian didn't know, the group of people began to speak proudly.
To be able to let Meng Jingtian ask for advice, it really gave him a sense of accomplishment!
"The direction, strength, and duration of the blessings given by different gods are completely different. Even the same god can give several different blessings!"
Chapter 70
"Then let's see what level my blessing is!"Meng Jingtian nodded and looked at the group of people who were explaining to him, "You First!"
"Faith Blessing!"
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the God's strengthening blessing!"
Strengthening Blessing (orange) : all attributes increased by 10% for 24 hours.
"How is it? What level is it?"After casting the skill, Meng Jingtian asked the group of people.
"Orange... I've only seen blue and purple colors. It seems that no one has ever obtained this orange color,"the group of people answered weakly.
In other words, Meng Jingtian's blessing was probably at the level of a sovereign God!
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! It's my turn!"After a brief silence, Bai Ling pushed the group of people away and said.
Seeing that there was another competition, Luo Tian, who had been looking at them with a smile, suddenly had a change in his expression. His expression turned serious as he raised his hand and said, "Everyone, stop messing around! Something has happened!"
"What could have happened?"Zhao Yiyun curled his lips and asked indifferently.
"It's the people from the Knight's code. Many of our gang members who were training outside have just been wiped out by them,"Luo Tian said with a dark face.
"How could it be? We clearly had an agreement with them before. Silver Moon Lake belongs to us! Could it be that some gang members went to other places to train?"Zhao Yiyun also became serious when he heard that and asked with a frown.
"It's Silver Moon Lake!"Luo Tian smiled bitterly and said, "Have you all forgotten about what happened just now?"
Philip was a member of the Knight's Code Gang.
"It can't be? For the sake of a few gang members, he wants to start a war with us?"Zhao Yiyun said with a heavy expression.
"They don't have any concerns. When the time comes, they might even be able to pull a few gangs over,"Luo Tian said with a bitter smile.
"I've already told those dead gang members not to leave the city for the time being. I'll go and talk to their gang leader and see if we can resolve this."
"F * ck!"! "The land at Silver Moon Lake last time was something that we had to pay a huge price to exchange for. This time, I wonder how those foreign devils are going to bid for it. I Can't stand it anymore, so I might as well just fight them directly!"The elders of the other gangs shouted.
"That's right! We can't let them continue to exploit us endlessly. We'll get further and further away from them!"
"There's nothing we can do about it. Haven't we fought with them in the early stages? It's not that we can't win, so why would we negotiate with them?"Luo Tian smiled bitterly. "They have more than ten times our numbers!"
"I'll go with you!"Meng Jingtian listened for a long time. It seemed that these foreign devils had indeed bullied the Chinese quite badly, so he couldn't just stand by and watch.
"Forget it! Although your level is high, there are so many of them. There's more than one group. If we really fight, we might not be able to defeat them."Luo Tian seemed to have seen through Meng Jingtian's thoughts and shook his head.
"Moreover, even if you kill some of them, it won't be of any help. Instead, it will make them even more angry and chase after the alt accounts in Our Gang to kill them. You Can't always stay with these alt accounts in Our Gang, right?" 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Meng Jingtian Sighed in silence. This was one of the reasons why he was never willing to join a gang and build a gang.
He was free and unfettered. He could make as much trouble as he wanted without considering the consequences.
However, if he was dragged down by the gang, he would have to compromise for the overall situation at some point in time.
As the leader of the gang, he was not the only one to bear the consequences of Luo Tian's decision.
Otherwise, Meng Jingtian believed that Luo Tian would not compromise with the Knight's code. In Meng Jingtian's memory, he was also a "Hot-tempered"person!
At this moment, Luo Tian's words hit the nail on the head. It was impossible for Meng Jingtian to stay with them all the time.
Even if he alone could take on a whole team this time and kill the Knight's code, Luo Tian and the others would only be bullied even more when he left.
Even though he understood this logic, Meng Jingtian hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still patted Luo Tian's shoulder and said, "If you continue to endure it, you'll become cowards! Don't care so much, we're Chinese, so let's do it!"
"Right! Boss Meng Is Right! I Can't tolerate it anymore!"
"What Knight's code? Since You've come to shit on our heads, let's do it! If you're still so angry after playing a game, why don't we stop playing!"
"That's right! Boss Meng's coming this time is a chance for us to resist! Let's not talk about other things, just with boss Meng's blessing, we don't know how much our combat power has increased!"
"Shen 'Du is on our side, what's there to be afraid of! Let's F * ck the Knight's Code!"
"If we endure any longer, we won't have a chance to turn things around! Won't we be laughed at by our fellow countrymen if we pass it back? We'll be bullied like this by the foreign devils outside!"
Meng Jingtian's words instantly stirred up the long-suppressed anger of the members of the Congregation for Justice. There shouldn't be anyone in this group of elite members who didn't understand that logic, however, at this moment, they were all shouting emotionally that they wanted to directly fight with the Knight's code!
Meng Jingtian swept his gaze across the crowd. Even the Deputy Zhao Yiyun was shouting along with this group of members. It could be seen that they had accumulated quite a lot of resentment.
As for Meng Jingtian, since he clearly knew the consequences, he still dared to provoke the emotions of the gang members. Naturally, he did not want to harm them.
At worst, he could just spend more time here and completely solve the problem of the Knight's code.
He could not bear to see his own countrymen being bullied. Moreover, Luo Tian was his childhood friend!
If his brothers did not help, who would he help?
In the game, it was just a pleasure to play. Who cared so much?
At this moment, he could put all the quests and leveling up to the back of his mind. Fighting was the real business!
"You guys..."looking at the excited gang members, Luo Tian smiled bitterly. He didn't care about them personally, but he was afraid that the gathering would be defeated and dispersed just like that.
Then, the people of depra city would lose their last haven to shelter from the wind and rain.
"Do you have the confidence to take down Depra City?"Meng Jingtian looked back at Luo Tian and punched him in the chest.
Luo Tian took a step back and said with a bitter smile, "No..."
"You have to!"Meng Jingtian was not moved by his answer. He patted his shoulder and said, "Let's Go! Gather the men and find the Knight's code! How do we know if we can't do it without a try?"
"If it really won't work, I Won't do the quest anymore. I'll stay here to accompany you!"
If they took down depra city, it would be considered a true stronghold for the Chinese players in the European server. It would be a place where they could stand.
It would be like a safe haven for them now. They still had to look at others'expressions.
Hearing Meng Jingtian's words, Luo Tian could not help but be moved. If they could not take down depra city, would meng Jingtian give up on the quest and stay here to help them?
...
If Meng Jingtian was willing to go all out like this, if he were to hesitate and hesitate again, he would be looked down upon by others.
"Alright! Then let's Bet!"Luo Tian relaxed his brows, laughed loudly, and exchanged fists with Meng Jingtian.
At this moment, when he said these words, his entire body felt light, and he felt somewhat relieved.
Chapter 71
"What's the point of fighting? Hurry, Hurry, Hurry! The leader has called for a gathering! We're going to fight the Knight's Code!"
"Let's put the mission aside! Our leveling party in Silver Moon Lake today has been cleared by the Knight's code, do you understand? The leader has called for a gathering to start a war with the Knight's Code!"
"Really? The leader is finally going to start a war with the Knight's code? Where are we gathering?"
"That's great! F * ck, we finally don't have to suffer this humiliation anymore. Let's F * ck the death Knight's Code!"
As they hadn't established a guild yet, there wasn't a dedicated guild channel to notify them. Just like that, the news of Luo Tian gathering his guild members was spread from one player to another.
Ten minutes later, a group of black-haired, black-eyed Chinese players gathered at the city gates of depra city.
Meng Jingtian took a quick glance and estimated that there were about two to three hundred people.
No wonder they were bullied so badly. The number of people was completely out of proportion to the number of European players that could be seen everywhere!
"They're still at Silvermoon Lake!"Zhao Yiyun walked over and said to Luo Tian and Meng Jingtian.
The Knight's code had always been to suppress the Gathering Justice Party. Even if they heard any news, they would probably just laugh and not take it to heart.
In fact, they might even be waiting for Luo Tian to bring his men over. When the battle started, if the JUYI faction lost, they could take the opportunity to sign more unequal agreements.
Luo Tian looked at Meng jingtian and said, "Almost everyone is here. Are We really going to fight the Knight's Code?"
"Nonsense! At this time? Can we still go back on Our Words?"Meng Jingtian glanced at Luo Tian and said affirmatively. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚
While they were gathering, Meng Jingtian had already added a blessing effect to the elders, elites, and high-level and well-equipped members of the gang.
At this moment, since they had finished gathering, he naturally raised his arm and led everyone to Silvermoon Lake.
"Luo Tian! Are you rebelling?"As expected, Philip had already heard the news and called more members of the gang to gather here at the last minute. They were waiting for them calmly!
"Rebel? Do you really think that you are the masters of depra?"Since they had already decided to start a war.., in front of the enemy, Luo Tian no longer hesitated in front of his own people. He stood out and said with a cold laugh, his entire body full of vigor.
"I really don't know where you guys get your confidence from!"Philip said in puzzlement when he saw that Luo Tian was so unyielding. This time, he was determined to start a war.
In fact, they had already fought many times when they first started the game. Every time, they ended up being suppressed and exploited by the Chinese players.
If it wasn't for the fact that these Chinese players were gathered together, they would still have some strength. If they were to cause a ruckus, the European server guilds like DEPRA would also be very troubled.
They would probably not even give up silvermoon lake, the most trashy training ground, to the gathering brotherhood.
"I don't know where you got the confidence to stand in front of me!"Meng Jingtian stepped forward and mocked Philip.
Just now, Philip was killed in one move by him!
The power of that move was still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When Philip saw Meng Jingtian walk out of the crowd, he could not help but take a step back.
"It's You! How is that possible? You killed so many of us in the city, why weren't you locked up by the npcs?"The previous move was instantly killed at the Resurrection Point, philip didn't have the chance to see the result after Meng Jingtian killed him instantly.
At this time, when he saw Meng Jingtian appear in front of him again, he was very surprised.
"Come forward, I'll tell you why!"Although it was unintentional, Philip's retreat just now also happened to be out of the range of Meng Jingtian's divine punishment. Meng Jingtian also didn't come forward, he just smiled and said to Philip.
Philip was not a threat to him at all, but after all, the opponent had many people. At a glance, there were probably five to six hundred people.
With so many people, it was a boss with millions of HP. After a round of skills, it should be dead.
Although Meng Jingtian's level and attributes were high, he was not crazy enough to have millions of HP to take their attacks head-on.
If he stood out too much, he might be killed by the opponent in one round. He still needed the members of the gathering to share some of the damage from the opponent's skills while he dealt wretched damage.
When Meng Jingtian said this, Philip took another step back.
Then, because of his subconscious action, he felt embarrassed in front of the members of the Brotherhood. He sneered and explained, "I'm not that stupid. I'm going to take a mage's attack head on!"
"Mage?"Meng Jingtian was slightly stunned, but he smiled and did not say anything.
Indeed, among the several basic classes in the European server, mages had the highest attack, but their bodies were also fragile.
For an assassin like Philip, even if he was a hidden class, foolishly taking a mage's attack head-on had a high chance of being insta-killed.
But now, Philip attributed the reason why he was insta-killed to Meng Jingtian being a mage.
Because he was in a safe zone, he hadn't expected Meng Jingtian to make a move, and had been careless enough to be insta-killed.
You Can't wake up someone who pretends to be asleep no matter how hard you try.
Meng Jingtian didn't explain anything. He looked at Luo Tian, who was at the side. He was the sect master, so he should be the one to give the order to start the war.
Luo Tian nodded and looked at the sect elder beside him, Fang Qingxue.
Fang Qingxue's class was a hidden class, a void Mage. Naturally, she was leading the Mage Group of the Congregation for Justice.
In this kind of group battle, it was better for the mage with long arms to make the first move and waste some time.
"Air Bomb!"Fang Qingxue waved her staff, and an invisible air bomb flew towards the opponent's group.
This was like a signal bomb for the start of the battle. The two sides began to throw skills at each other, and Knight Warriors and other close-combat classes also rushed towards each other in this "Hail of bullets".
As for the assassins, they quietly moved to the back row of the opponents.
Meng Jingtian was not a mage, but right now, he could be considered as half a mage!
Once the battle started, Meng Jingtian hid among the members of the Congregation for Justice. He activated the Neltharion crown's skill, "Roaring Dragon of the Nine Heavens", and instantly roared at the warriors who were charging in front of the Knight's code, with a backhand, he threw a "Burning sky fire"down.
"Something 31074"
"Something 30411"
..
Terrifying numbers jumped out of the players in the Sea of fire. Even the knights and warriors with high defense could not last more than two jumps before they were sent back to the Resurrection Point. In an instant, a large area of white light flashed, it was like fireworks.
Only a few experts who were skilled in operating skills instantly used their crowd control skills to escape the range of the Sea of fire.
...
When this skill was cast, the area in front of them instantly became empty. One to two hundred warriors and knights from the Knight's code were instantly killed.
The Warriors from the Brotherhood gathering who were charging forward could not help but be stunned. There was nothing in front of them. were they still going to charge?
Of course, they were going to charge! At this moment, Luo Tian was the first to charge into the crowd of knights'code.
The Warriors and knights were instantly killed. Their mages were directly exposed in front of them. Luo Tian killed one of them with two slashes.
The group of gang members who rushed over immediately became excited and started fighting like tigers among sheep.
Chapter 72
With Meng Jingtian's opening skill clearing out a bunch of mages, the Knights of the Knight's code were even scared silly. Before they could react, many of the mages were killed by the Brotherhood's Warriors and assassins. The formation was in chaos.
"Mages, Retreat! Knights, go up! Healers, quickly heal!"Philip shouted in a panic, instructing the members to change their formation.
Following that, they began to search for Meng Jingtian among the crowd of the congregation.
This 'mage'was too heaven-defying! If they could not kill him, they would definitely lose this team battle's Knight Code!
"Paul, Abby, Joe! Follow me, Let's go and kill that Mage. We Can't lose this team battle! The Knight Code Can't lose to these sick men!"Finally.., looking at Meng Jingtian in the crowd, Philip called out to a few assassins and groped towards him.
A dim shadow suddenly appeared beside Meng Jingtian. The poisoned dagger flickered with a cold light as it slashed towards his neck.
Of all the classes, assassins were naturally the best at stealth.
The sudden appearance of Philip and the others was indeed a little unexpected to Meng Jingtian.
Almost at the same time that Philip made his move, the other assassins who followed the Knight's code also revealed themselves and used their skills to attack Meng Jingtian.
Meng Jingtian was shocked, but then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Was there a mistake? Did he really think that he was a mage? The assassins also wanted to cut themselves!
"Black Tortoise true body!"Meng Jingtian instantly used his invincibility skill. One second was very crucial.
This invulnerable skill instantly blocked three skills from several people. Only Joe was one step slower, and a skill landed on Meng Jingtian.
"2704", however, forcefully withstanding this assassin's explosive skill only managed to reduce Meng jingtian's HP by more than 2,000 points.
The level suppression was too much. Meng Jingtian was Level 42, while this assassin was only level 33.
Moreover, Meng Jingtian was not a mage!
Because his level was far higher than other players, Meng Jingtian often had to face solo bosses and solo monsters. He also had a certain amount of HP and defense. Therefore, his HP was relatively balanced, and his body was not very fragile.
This "Eye-popping"damage figure immediately stunned Joe.
He was an assassin! After activating an explosive skill to hit a mage, he only managed to deal over 2,000 damage. What the hell!
Moreover, after dealing over 2,000 damage, Meng Jingtian's health bar did not seem to have changed at all.
Philip did not notice this. He only saw that Meng Jingtian's invincibility skill had expired. He immediately turned into an afterimage and attacked Meng Jingtian's vital points with a purple weapon dagger in his hand.
In tomorrow, everything was as real as possible. If it hit a vital point, it would increase the chance of a critical hit. To an assassin, attacking a vital point was a basic skill and a habit!
Meng Jingtian's eyes narrowed, but he pulled out the stupa blade from his back, and simultaneously activated his skill, heavenly form!
"Crack! Crack!"
A strange sound rang out, and Meng Jingtian's character's body began to undergo a huge transformation, growing into a giant that was a hundred times his original size!
His stats also increased by 10 times!
In this state, when Philip's attack landed on Meng Jingtian, it didn't hurt at all.
"Something 50421″instead, Meng Jingtian turned around and slashed at Philip, killing him once again!
"F * ck! Philip, You F * cking lied to us! This isn't a mage, it's clearly a warrior!"
"An ordinary warrior can't be that sick. It must be a hidden warrior class!"
The other assassins fled in panic, cursing.
"You want to leave after coming here?"Meng Jingtian sneered. He killed Joe with another slash and continued to chase after the other two.
"Shua! Shua! Shua!"Within a few seconds, Meng Jingtian sent the assassins back to the respawn point one by one.
Following that, he took advantage of the fact that the effects of the skill, heavenly form, had yet to wear off and directly charged into the crowd of knights.
His huge body and powerful attacks instantly tore apart the formation that Knights'rules had painstakingly reorganized.
Moreover, because Philip had been killed and returned to the city, Knights'rules had to temporarily change to another commander. Under such a chaotic formation, it was impossible for them to organize an effective attack.
Meng Jingtian relied on his hundreds of thousands of health points to charge forward. Regardless of whether he was a mage, warrior, or knight, as long as he did not have any special life-saving skills, he would basically kill one with a single slash.
Just like that, he slaughtered his way towards Knight's code's priests who were hiding at the back.
"Shua Shua Shua!"Another white light flashed. The mages and priests of Knight's code were like frightened sheep, waiting for Meng Jingtian's slaughter.
The only thing that bothered Meng Jingtian was that he did not have any crowd control or crowd control skills. His huge body under the state of Heaven and earth made him a very prominent target.
With the help of the priests of the Congregation for Justice and his own divine recovery skill, he did not have any pressure to withstand the attacks.
However, when the opponent's crowd control skills were thrown at him, it was very uncomfortable. It seriously slowed down the speed of his slaughter of the members of the Knight's code.
After ten minutes, the Knight's code had almost been wiped out by the Brotherhood. Of course, more than half of them had probably died at the hands of Meng Jingtian.
However, this was just a game. To the players, dying once would only lose some exp.
And when this gang war started, both sides would not easily admit defeat. The members of the Knight's code quickly came back and called for more members of the Brotherhood.
After they gathered not far from Silver Moon Lake, they once again launched a wave of counterattack at the Gathering Brotherhood members who were immersed in the joy of winning the battle.
This time, after the previous lesson, Philip valued Meng Jingtian very much, he shouted again and again, "I don't care if you are mages, warriors, or assassins! In short, keep an eye on that Meng Jingtian. As long as you can hit him, focus fire on him until you die!"
Ten minutes had passed. Without the blessing of heavenly law, Meng Jingtian was still very wretched in such a large-scale group Battle of a thousand people. He retreated back into the crowd of the Congregation for Justice.
Even though Philip shouted at the top of his lungs that he wanted the crowd to focus their fire on Meng Jingtian, the prerequisite was that they had to hit him.
At this moment, Meng jingtian had changed from a "Warrior"who charged at the front to a "Mage". He quietly hid in the crowd and used "God's punishment"and "Burning Sky Fire"to attack.
Unfortunately, Howling Dragon's ninth heaven was a skill that came with equipment. Its cooldown was too long. Without Howling Dragon's AOE control, the effect would not be as good as the first time. 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Even so, it could still cause a lot of casualties to those who followed the Knight's code. The fragile-skinned mage was instantly killed by the first attack.
The previous victory had boosted the morale of the Brotherhood gathering. Although the number of people was much lower than the opponent's, the warriors of the Brotherhood still charged forward without fear of death. After they died, they ran back as fast as they could and continued to participate in the attack.
...
Even Luo Tian had died two or three times and was still charging forward!
Under such circumstances, the battle between the two sides was extremely intense. The duration of this group battle had been extended indefinitely. Other than Meng Jingtian, who had not died before, all the members of both sides had probably died several rounds already.
No one was willing to "Cry gold and withdraw their troops"so easily. For the JUYI faction, this group battle was the first time they had seen hope of defeating the Foreign Devils. All of their blood was boiling as they charged forward, they did not care how many times they died.
Even if Luo Tian wanted them to retreat, they would not be willing.
Furthermore, Luo Tian himself was fighting until his eyes turned red as he led the charge.
Retreat? It did not exist! If they did not win this group battle today, they would definitely not retreat!
To the Knight's code, these sick men from East Asia were really going against the heavens!
Suppress! Definitely suppress! Otherwise, wouldn't these Chinese players be on equal footing with them in the future, fighting for resources?
After fighting for half an hour, the leader of the Knight's code had also arrived, bringing more members of the Knight's code as well as other European player guilds that had come to help.
The gap in numbers had widened further.
As for the Brotherhood gathering, it wasn't that they didn't have backup. When some Chinese players from depra city heard the news, they also rushed over to help and joined the chaotic battle on their own.
...
Every time the players from the Knight's code died, an average of close to 100 of them would die under Meng Jingtian's divine punishment.
Therefore, the more they fought, the weaker they became.
Furthermore, Meng Jingtian's existence allowed the players from the Knight's code to die faster than the members of the Brotherhood gathering. If they died more, they would naturally lose a lot of levels.
If it were not for the European server guilds that they joined later, the Knight's code would have been destroyed!
Chapter 73
Two hours passed, and what was originally a thousand-man gang war between two gangs had turned into a ten-thousand-man gang war.
It was no longer just the Brotherhood gathering and Knight's code that was involved. All the gangs and even unaffiliated players in depra city had voluntarily joined in.
This was no longer a conflict between gangs, but a great war between eastern and Western players! 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝑜𝑚
All the conflicts that had accumulated in the past had erupted in this war.
The difference in numbers between the eastern players and the Western players was huge. It had already reached an unbelievable level.
Nearly 2,000 eastern players versus more than 10,000 western players!
Under normal circumstances, this would be a one-sided situation.
However, with Meng Jingtian's participation, these 2,000 eastern players were in an unbelievable stalemate with the western players.
This was a miracle!
There were already people recording this miracle-like battle.
At this time, Meng Jingtian once again activated his "Heavenly Law". He transformed into a giant and rampaged through the Western players, tearing apart their formation.
Compared to these ordinary players, he was like a boss!
He had already activated his 'Heavenly Dharma'several times during the half-hour cooldown.
If the eastern players were completely relying on Meng Jingtian to hold up the sky, then the western players were completely relying on their numbers and human lives to hold up until now.
"Control him! Throw all your control skills at Meng Jingtian!"The western players had already changed their orders a few times. At this moment, they were no longer Philip.
"Go and cut off their healer group! I don't believe that we can't kill this guy!"The Western Players'orders roared in rage.
Previously, the Western players had realized how heaven-defying Meng Jingtian was, and they had only wanted to focus their fire on him to kill him. However, there weren't so many people controlling him. Now that the other party had given the order, all sorts of control skills were thrown at him.
"Ding! You have received a stun effect!"
"Ding! You have received a freeze effect!"
"Ding! You have received a freeze effect!"
A series of system notifications rang in Meng Jingtian's ears. As a giant, he was being controlled so much that he couldn't even move.
F * ck! After this time, he had to get two control-free skills!
Meng Jingtian was a little helpless, but also a little frustrated.
He clearly had the ability to easily kill the enemy players, but he could not move under control. That was really disgusting!
"Something 594"
"Something 721"
"Something 458"
..
The western players'attack skills were thrown at Meng Jingtian who was buffed by the Heaven's manifestation. It was really not painful at all.
However, he could not hold back the enemy's large numbers. After using the Heaven's manifestation, Meng Jingtian's target was also big enough. His HP began to decrease gradually under the control of the Heaven's manifestation.
"720,000... 540,000... 360,000..."
"Protect our healer! Protect our Meng Jingtian!"Luo Tian shouted as he commanded the other eastern players.
"+ 7,504"
"+ 6,911"
..
Green numbers appeared on Meng Jingtian's body one after another, barely keeping his HP at around 30% .
There was no helping it. The enemy had too many people, and they were also harassing and attacking our healer at the same time.
At this moment, Meng Jingtian had become the focal point of the battlefield. It was as if the two sides were fighting for the boss. The scene was very lively and... chaotic.
Under the situation where Meng Jingtian was restrained and unable to play his part, the Western players'advantage in numbers once again came into play. Very quickly, the eastern players'formation was scattered, and the eastern players'numbers were rapidly decreasing, the speed of the reinforcements running from the Resurrection Point was far from the speed of death.
As the eastern players'numbers decreased, Meng Jingtian became more isolated and helpless, and his HP fell even faster.
This was a vicious cycle!
50,000!
Meng Jingtian's HP finally fell to a critical point where he was on the verge of death. Although the normal players'hp was around 50,000, to the current Meng Jingtian, this was only 15% of his HP.
Maintaining such a HP, under the siege of 10,000 players, one could imagine how dangerous it was.
Even if there were a few eastern players who healed him, he could die at any time.
Meng Jingtian felt extremely helpless. was he going to lose his virginity here?
This advantage in numbers was indeed not to be underestimated!
'Ding! Player Jiang Ruxue has cast holy purification on you!'
'Ding! You have gained a control-free effect. Lasts for 30 seconds!'
Just as Meng Jingtian was prepared to die, he suddenly realized that he could move. He was stunned for a moment before he saw the two notifications.
Meng Jingtian turned around and saw that a mysterious woman with strange clothes had appeared in the eastern players'formation. She was the one who had cast the purification skill just now.
In reality, it wasn't that there weren't any priests who had used purification skills on Meng Jingtian. However, most of their purification skills only lasted for two to three seconds and weren't very effective.
Moreover, such skills were very rare. There weren't many priests who had such skills, let alone eastern players who were suppressed by European players.
...
"Thirty Seconds? That's Enough!"Meng Jingtian thought to himself as he glanced at Jiang Ruxue.
At this moment, his heart was filled with rage.
F * ck! After being disgusted for so long, it was finally time for him to retaliate!
"Divine Recovery!"
"+ 241471″with a backhand divine recovery, he instantly recovered over 200,000 hp with the heaven and Earth attribute buff.
"Sky-incinerating fire!"Meng Jingtian suddenly charged into the enemy's crowd and threw a sky-incinerating fire at the rear row where the healers and mages were gathered.
"Shua..."a burst of white light flashed, and the fragile mages and priests were instantly killed by Meng Jingtian. The attack power of Western players instantly decreased by more than half.
"Wind-sweeping sleeve!"Meng Jingtian activated the additional skills of wind-sweeping sleeve, increasing his attack speed.
Moreover, with the buff of heavenly transformation, his agility attribute was originally ten times higher than before. Wind-sweeping sleeve still increased his attack speed by a percentage.
In this way, Meng Jingtian's attack speed was as fast as an afterimage.
In addition to the giant body formed by heavenly transformation, the corresponding character of Stupa's blade became bigger. With a single slash, it would sweep across the entire area!
...
At this moment, Meng Jingtian could barely be considered a true God.
Moving freely in a 10,000 player party, wantonly killing. Perhaps on the surface, he was more like a devil!
"F * ck... Old Meng Ate Jinkela, didn't he? How did he become so much stronger all of a sudden?"Luo Tian, who had just resurrected, looked at Meng Jingtian's figure in a daze and muttered.
Meng Jingtian, who had also activated heavenly transformation, was many times crazier than Meng Jingtian who had activated the skill a few times before.
He was turning his grief and anger into strength!
F * ck, the feeling of being able to see but unable to move just now was too depressing!
Chapter 74
"F * ck! Boss Meng, what kind of God is this? He's like a demon, right?"Some of the congregation members couldn't help but stop and mutter to themselves as they watched Meng Jingtian display his divine might.
It wasn't that they didn't want to follow him. It was just that Meng Jingtian was truly a one-man army. They had no place to interfere.
Even if they followed him, they were still afraid that Meng Jingtian would accidentally injure them and send them back to the city.
"Oh my God! What kind of monster is that guy? No wonder sect master Luo suddenly dared to fight with these foreign devils. Could it be that he obtained this trump card?"
"What kind of summoned creature is it? Isn't it too heaven-defying!"
"Are you guys blind? Didn't you see that Guy's profile shows that he's completely like a player? That's a player, right?"
The eastern players who joined later couldn't help but start discussing among themselves.
Was Meng Jingtian Luo Tian's trump card?
Yes! This trump card was called a brother!
"What are you all standing there for? You're all stupid! Quick! Hurry up and heal!"Luo Tian came back to his senses and shouted at the priests among the eastern players.
"Gang leader Luo is so fierce to the girls, be careful not to find a girlfriend!"Jiang Ruxue said calmly to defend the priests.
"Jiang Ruxue!"Luo Tian was stunned. He looked at Jiang Ruxue with surprise and fear in his eyes, "I didn't expect you to come too."
"Of course, I'm also Chinese!"Jiang Ruxue said indifferently, and then followed the priests forward.
The veil on her face and the holy white dress made Jiang Ruxue stand out among the group of priests, like a crane among chickens.
Luo Tian was stunned for a moment before he regained his senses. He shouted at the other eastern players who were still discussing, "What are you warriors hiding behind? Go and protect our healer!"
'Ding! Jiang Ruxue has cast 'holy golden body'on you. You have gained the skill 'damage rebound'. Lasts for 12 seconds!'
'Ding! Jiang Ruxue has cast 'Holy Spirit Drain'on you. You have gained 50% of the enemy's HP. Lasts for 5 minutes.'
"F * ck! What kind of skill is this? Isn't it too heaven-defying?"Meng Jingtian was a little surprised. He slashed down and killed a group of people. At the same time, his HP was fully recovered!
With the support of this skill, Meng Jingtian could be said to have no worries. There was no need for these wet nurses. As long as he continued to slash people, his HP would not drop at all.
"Haha!"Meng Jingtian laughed out loud and started to fight even more crazily. He was like a giant chasing after a group of panicking chicks.
Jiang Ruxue's eyes flashed with a strange look. There was finally a strong player among the Chinese players. He was not like some guys who were completely useless!
"Control him! Control him! Do you guys want to save your control skills for later?"The western players'commander shouted.
They had already completely dispersed, there was no formation at all.
"We can't control him! Can't you see that he has a control-free effect on him?"
"What rubbish commander? You Don't even know that? Get lost! You're worse than me!"
Under the rapid defeat, the western players broke out into internal chaos, blaming each other.
"Are you priests all polio? Why Don't You Heal Me?"
"Are you knights brainless? Look at where he's charging at! Why aren't you going up to hold him off?"
"Can you mages be more useless? What about your damage output? What about your damage output? With so many people attacking one person, he won't even lose any HP!"
Even though there were many people, the Western players'replenishment speed could not catch up to Meng Jingtian's massacre speed. With Jiang Ruxue's support, Meng Jingtian was like a tiger with wings.
Right now, he did not even need the support of the eastern players. Meng Jingtian directly took on a group of them!
In such a chaotic and one-sided massacre situation, some European players quietly withdrew from the group battle.
They did not want to die a few more times. That was a completely meaningless death.
Moreover, the players killed by Meng Jingtian's divine punishment were the ones who were unlucky. Losing 10% of their attributes was basically the same as losing four or five levels.
As the unspecialized players quietly withdrew, the number of European players participating in the group battle continued to decrease. It was even harder to resist Meng Jingtian's massacre.
Some small European guilds also began to withdraw. As the first guild to participate in the group battle, the Knight's code had suffered heavy losses. On average, the guild members had lost four to five levels. 𝚋𝚎d𝚗ov𝚎𝚕.co𝚖
However, this was a battle of honor between the east and the west. It was a decisive battle that determined the position of the overlord of depra City and the distribution of resources!
Those big guilds were still unwilling to retreat, but at this moment, they were completely holding on.
You might not believe it, but today, we organized a 10,000 man team battle, and it was completely destroyed by a player from China!
As the European casual players quietly left, the European forum started to become lively, and players started to discuss this big battle.
As the popularity of the post continued to rise, more and more players saw this post.
When the European players who were originally in other cities saw this, they were furious.
These sick men from East Asia were too f * cking arrogant! They even dared to bully our people in our territory?
As such, some of the gangs from other cities also organized their people and rushed to depra city to help.
Of course, there were also Chinese players from other cities who saw this post and clapped their hands in excitement.
Chinese players being bullied in the European server was not a unique phenomenon in depra city. It was a common phenomenon throughout the European server.
There were few Chinese players in the European server, and they were very different from European players. Normally, when conflicts arose, they would naturally look for their own people to help.
It was very easy to start a group battle, and the final result would be that the Chinese players with fewer people would be suppressed.
As a result, the Chinese players in the European server were all filled with anger. They could only try their best not to have any conflicts with the European server players and look at their expressions.
At this moment, the moment Meng Jingtian's post was sent out, the Chinese players immediately felt proud.
So what if they were suppressed? Once our eastern Dragon wakes up, it will definitely be suppressed. No matter how many people there are, they are all just floating clouds!
With such an explosive battle, it was only natural for them to rush over to help!
From the teleportation portal in depra city, golden-haired, blue-eyed westerners and black-haired, black-eyed easterners walked out one after another.
...
The two sides did not like each other in the city, and as soon as they left the city, they started fighting.
The battlefield extended from the city gates to Silvermoon Lake.
However, the Chinese players on the battlefield were still being suppressed by the European players.
'Ding! Due to the large number of players entering depra city recently, due to depra city's limited territory, the teleportation portal to depra city has been closed.'
Due to the large number of players entering depra city, the system issued an emergency announcement.
Chapter 75
Meng Jingtian did not log off, nor did he go on the forums, nor did he go on the forums of the European servers.
He was only immersed in the massacre, so he naturally did not know what had happened. When he heard the system announcement, he was even a little surprised.
"Old Meng, why don't We Retreat? The European servers players from the other cities have all come to support us. I'm afraid that the number of people will not be endless."Luo Tian was also shocked, he asked Zhao Yiyun to inquire about the situation before he got to know the situation and suggested to Meng Jingtian.
This had completely exceeded Luo Tian's expectations and control. He originally thought that it was just a battle between the Brotherhood gathering and the Knight's code to fight for rights and benefits.
However, he did not expect that in the past few hours, it had developed into a battle between the eastern and western players of depra city. The number of people had increased to 10,000. It could be said that this was a battle that could be recorded in the history books of depra city.
Not only that, players from other cities were also rushing over. This was going to develop into a country war before the border opened!
The problem was that the number of Chinese players in the European server was not proportional to the number of local players in the European server. They could not fight!
Meng Jingtian was having a good time. How could he calm down so easily when his blood was boiling?
If the European players didn't retreat, he would fight them to the end!
In the game, wasn't it fun to fight!
So what if he died a few times?
He was fearless!
"Didn't the system announcement say that the teleportation portal has been closed? The map of Tomorrow is so big. If they came here by themselves, they wouldn't be able to catch up,"Meng Jingtian replied nonchalantly.
"Since they have fought, let's beat them to a pulp this time!"Meng Jingtian said heroically.
Even though the effect of the heavenly law was over, he still didn't stop. With the eastern players'wet nurse team and Jiang Ruxue's "Logistical support", Meng Jingtian was like a flood dragon entering the sea, churning up huge waves. These western players in front of him.., were just small shrimps that had been hit on the shore by the huge waves.
Luo Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly. Boss, not only did you beat them up, you even destroyed the Knight's code, Alright?
Could it be that the 'they'that Meng Jingtian mentioned referred to all the European players? That was too arrogant!
Even though the teleportation portal was closed, the European players and Chinese players that had been teleported over quickly arrived at the Silver Moon Lake Battlefield.
The densely packed human heads were surging. The close-combat knights and warriors were crowded in the crowd and could not use their skills at all. With such a dense crowd, they could not even walk, let alone move their formation.
"Tomorrow"was a virtual MMORPG after all. The characters in the game were all "Real", unlike the low-quality mmorpgs from hundreds of years ago.
Therefore, there was a limit to the number of players who could get close to Meng Jingtian. More people were squeezed in the back, outside of the attack range, and couldn't reach Meng Jingtian.
Not to mention hitting Meng Jingtian, they could only shout and cheer for him.
Although there seemed to be a lot of western players gathered, the pressure on Meng Jingtian was still limited.
With Jiang Ruxue's support, Meng Jingtian didn't feel too much pressure even though he was surrounded by so many people.
However, the other Chinese players suffered, and they were quickly eliminated by the European players.
Although Meng Jingtian's attack was very high, he could not protect the Chinese players. be𝚍𝚗𝚘ve𝚕.c𝚘𝚖
He had just killed a group of them when the players behind him caught up. Meng Jingtian could not stop their attacks!
Gradually, the Chinese players around Meng Jingtian became fewer and fewer.
After they died and returned to the city, although they ran back to support like before, there were too many European players in DEPRA City.
They were wiped out before they even arrived.
Moreover, even if the European players didn't know about them, they wouldn't be able to squeeze to Meng Jingtian's side at all!
"Haha! Looks like we're going to die once! However, killing so many of them is enough for us to win. It's so fast! So Fast!"Meng Jingtian laughed out loud when he saw that there was only Jiang Ruxue by his side and that he was going to be helpless again.
"I won't Die!"Jiang Ruxue was calm enough. However, her eyes were actually flashing with excitement and madness.
Two people challenging a city of European players. Whether she would die or not, it could be considered a heaven-shaking feat!
"Is that Giant's skill done?"Jiang Ruxue asked Meng Jingtian calmly.
In order to resist the attacks of the European players, she had almost used up all of her life-saving skills. With her 30,000 to 40,000 hp, once the skill's effect ended, she would die!
"Alright!"Meng Jingtian glanced at her. Unknowingly, he had been fighting with the European players for a long time. The half-hour cooldown of [ heavenly transformation ] had already ended.
However, in the current situation, the European players surrounded him like a flood. Even if he used [ heavenly transformation ] , his hundreds of thousands of HP would only last for a short while.
"I heard that you are a god. I hope you won't disappoint me!"Jiang Ruxue suddenly smiled. Under the veil that was lifted by the wind, her porcelain-like skin was eye-catching.
"Use your skill!"Jiang Ruxue urged Meng Jingtian as the lifesaving skill's effect was about to end.
"Heavenly form Earth!"Meng Jingtian was startled for a moment, but he still obediently activated his skill.
Although he did not know what method Jiang Ruxue had, he would still struggle if he could survive!
"With my pure and pious heart, I offer it to my God!"
Jiang Ruxue crossed her hands in front of her chest as she muttered.
Soon after, she transformed into an illusory human figure that was shrouded in white light as she soared into the sky.
In the end, the illusory human figure disappeared into the sky. Jiang Ruxue, who was beside Meng Jingtian, also disappeared.
A golden light scattered down from the sky and landed on Meng Jingtian's body. He heard a series of system notifications.
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained fervent believer + 1!"
"Ding! You have gained 100,000 belief points from holy maiden sacrifice! Your belief buff skill has been upgraded to LVL 2!"
"Ding! You have gained sacrifice effect. Skill level has been temporarily increased to Max Level!"
"F * ck! What the F * ck..."Meng Jingtian looked at his skills and could not help but exclaim in surprise.
These skills were originally god-tier skills. After reaching Max level, there were even more additional effects. The original skills'effects had also been raised to a heaven-defying level.
In short, in the eyes of the current players, these skills were simply cheating!
...
At the maximum level, Heaven's path, all attributes increased by 1,000 times. Immune to crowd control effects. Lasts for 24 hours.
At the maximum level, Heaven's path, golden light, could leap over mountains and seas with a single thought. It could even directly jump back to the Huaxia region with a single skill.
Not to mention, it also had the ability to transform into golden light to obtain an invincibility effect.
Cooldown reduced to 30 seconds!
Bullying! This was too much of a bully!
Meng Jingtian looked at the "Ants"under his feet and felt a little complicated.
"Sky-burning Fire!"
A skill landed, and the Sea of fire that was originally two hundred meters wide was now ten miles in diameter. It instantly killed all the European server players surrounding Meng Jingtian.
Now, he was a true God!
Chapter 76
Looking at the empty space in front of him, Meng Jingtian stood rooted to the ground and fell into deep thought.
Players can also believe in me?
The effects of the sacrifice are so heaven-defying. Should I capture a few players to sacrifice for me.
However, it seems that ordinary players don't have this skill either?
"How Lonely It is to be invincible
How Lonely Is It
How Lonely Is it being invincible
How empty is it
Being alone at the peak
The cold wind kept blowing
My loneliness
Who can understand me
How Lonely Is Being Invincible
How Lonely Is It
How Lonely Is it being invincible
How empty is it
Hiding in the horizon, she
Can you listen to me
My loneliness
Endless Loneliness."
A wave of bitter songs sounded outside DEPRA city. It was really ear-piercing.
There were still 23 hours and 59 minutes left for the effect of the spell of Heaven and earth. The huge Meng Jingtian sang pitifully, hugging his knees as he sat on the ground.
With his current body size, there was no way he could return to the city.
He felt wronged, and the group of European server players that instantly appeared in the resurrection point felt even more wronged.
F * ck! What was this? Was this a god-tier boss? Even a god-tier boss wouldn't be so heaven-defying, right?
A single skill had instantly killed them all! Over 100,000 players, all instantly killed!
"He cheated! I'm going to sue him! I'm definitely going to sue him at the United Nations!"
"Wu Wu... What a bully! We're all... We're all players, how can he wipe us all out with a single skill? The China region cheated!"Some of the European server players who could not bear it felt so wronged that they were crying.
As more and more European server players came out of the Resurrection Point, there was not even a place for them to rest near the resurrection point.
"Aiyo! You F * cking stepped on my foot! Do You Have Eyes?"
"F * ck! Whose hands are touching my butt? Do You Want to Die?"
The crowd caused a new round of arguments among the players.
Until one of the players asked weakly, "Are we still going? There must be a time limit for this skill of his, right?"
The originally noisy atmosphere suddenly became silent, as if the air was frozen.
After a long while, some players started to speak.
"Aiya! Sorry, my robot Butler's program is in a mess. I have to go and adjust it."
"The guild master has called for us to fight the boss. You guys continue fighting. I'll be back in a moment!"
"Ma da! The game cabin has lost power. I'm going to... I'm going to go down. Sorry! I'll leave the responsibility of protecting the reputation of our great y empire to you guys!"
After a flurry of excuses, these European players seemed to have instantly learned the Chinese people's ability to find excuses. They all sat on the teleportation portal and left DEPRA city, or went offline.
As for Meng jingtian, they could fight whoever they wanted to!
They really could not push this kind of "God-tier boss"away!
The European server players that were originally surging over retreated like a tide. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎
In less than ten minutes, depra city, which was previously so crowded that there was no place for them to land, became empty once again. It was even somewhat desolate.
Some of the casual players that were originally stationed in depra city also fled when they saw that the situation was bad.
In any case, they were just casual players. They didn't have the dilemma of which city they had to play in. They could just teleport to other cities and continue playing the game.
On the other hand, the European players'guild in depra city was in a difficult situation. Their foundations were all here.
They occupied leveling grounds, bosses, dungeons, received high-level quests in the city, and learned alchemy from the npcs in the city..
If they went to other cities, they would inevitably have to compete with the original guilds in that city for resources and reorganize their forces. It was impossible for them to just leave like normal players.
After the European players left, the Chinese players were very happy. With a shout, they all ran excitedly towards Silver Moon Lake.
They had to thank this hero who had single-handedly turned the tide of the battle!
After this battle, the Chinese players could be considered to be completely elated.
Of course, in reality, many of the Chinese players who had rushed here had not even reached the real main battlefield. On the way, they fought with the European players for a while before a sea of fire descended from the sky, they were sent back to the resurrection point together with them.
Without forming a party, their skills would not recognize them!
...
The victory of the group battle basically had nothing to do with them, but everyone had the same origin and shared the glory with them!
Unfortunately, when they reached Silver Moon Lake, the Invincible and Lonely Meng Jingtian had already logged off.
He could not stay like this forever! After this skill came down, the attributes were heaven-defying, but his body size was also heaven-defying, so it was inconvenient for him to do anything.
He didn't dare to cause too much of a ruckus in the European server. What if the game officials fixed his bug?
As for the incident in depra city today, it wasn't within Meng Jingtian's expectations. He didn't expect it to develop to such a large scale.
For now, it was better to quit while the situation was good!
Meng Jingtian's worries weren't without reason. In fact, after those European server players were wiped out, there were some idiots who didn't look for the game's customer service and directly called the United Nations to report Meng Jingtian.
However, what they did not know was that the United Nations, which had released the game, had already paid attention to Meng Jingtian.
Unfortunately, this game had a unique origin. Other than releasing new systems and activities according to the game's progress, they could not change any data in the game.
Even if Meng Jingtian was really a bug, there was nothing they could do!
The higher-ups had already instructed that the person who received the report was no different from the game's customer service. They still replied in a formulaic manner, "We have received your report. We will inform the Chinese game operator as soon as possible to find out."
...
On the game forum of the European server, Meng Jingtian's name once again occupied a place in the world. It was even more popular than when the legend of the Godslayer Hall was broken in China.
There were dozens of pages full of posts discussing how Meng Jingtian had picked a city of European players.
This matter was related to national honor!
However, no matter how indignant these European players were, after watching the video of the battle, no one had the courage to cause trouble for Meng Jingtian.
Even 100,000 players couldn't defeat him alone, and they wanted to challenge him alone? Wouldn't that be idiotic?
Therefore, these players were shouting their slogans loudly, but they didn't even have the courage to meet Meng Jingtian. They only increased their anger and vented it on the Chinese players in their own cities.
The Chinese players couldn't be willing to be bullied, so they came one after another and prepared to stay in depra city!
With such a god in charge, this place was their safest haven.
It wasn't just the normal unspecialized players, the Chinese player guilds that were huddled together to keep warm were also swarming into depra city.
In the next few hours, the situation in depra city changed drastically.
Meng Jingtian didn't know this, he was sleeping.
Two hours after the battle ended, a post by Bai Xiaosheng caused a stir in the Chinese gaming forums!
"My Brother Tian, the border hasn't even opened yet, but he's already so awesome!"
Chapter 77
As expected of Bai Xiaosheng, he knew about the news in the server forum in such a timely manner.
In the post, there were many posts from the European server players on the European Server Forum.
The sharp and resentful words made many Chinese players laugh out loud, and their hearts were filled with joy.
"No Wonder I haven't heard anything from Meng Jingtian for so long! He's gone overseas!"
"F * ck! If it weren't for the fact that the border didn't open, this war wouldn't have ended without me!"
"Sigh! Look at Meng Jingtian, huh? That's more like it! If you want to bully someone, then bully them! Unlike the Godslayer Hall, they only killed our own people."
Not long after the Godslayer Hall incident, there were people in the thread that picked up this deceased organization and whipped its corpse.
However, with the appearance of this thread, Meng Jingtian became popular again in the China Forum. He was directly pushed to the level of a national hero who "Won glory for the country"by these players.
It could be considered as a diversion. Godslayer Hall... No, it could only be said that it was ran Zai'an's group now.
That group of people was able to catch their breath. With the help of ran Zai'an and Chen Yiming, an organization called Sword Cry Pavilion was gradually reestablished in the game.
From the name they gave it, it could be seen that this time, with the lesson that Meng Jingtian had taught them before, they were much more low-key.
A day later, Meng Jingtian went online again.
The effects of the skill and sacrifice had passed, and he had returned to his normal size. There were countless secret chats.
Meng Jingtian did not look at it and directly contacted Luo Tian.
"Little Xiaotian, how's the Knight's code? Have you solved the matter of helping the members level up?"
He had not forgotten that this battle was only to help the members of the Brotherhood gathering who were leveling up at Silver Moon Lake but were cleared by the Knight's code to get back their position.
This was Meng Jingtian's original intention. That was all. He was just a little greedy. At most, he just wanted to help Luo Tian take down depra city.
No one had expected that such an unprecedented battle would be triggered.
Now, Meng Jingtian was famous in the European server. He had become the synonym of the devil in the eyes of the European server players. No one knew if this was an honor or a shame for a god like him.
"The Knight's code has already left DEPRA city. Not only the Knight's code, the European server players'gangs that were originally in depra city have also begun to evacuate,"Luo Tian replied. However.., it sounded like he wasn't in a good mood either.
"In that case, depra city will be dominated by you alone! Why are you still acting like an eggplant that was hit by Frost?"Meng Jingtian laughed and teased.
"Do you feel bad about losing levels? It's fine! If there's a dungeon nearby, I'll bring you guys to clear it! What's The Big Deal?"
"Sigh! It's not... It's not about levels!"Luo Tian sighed and said gloomily.
Speaking of which, other than the guilds that the European players had established, there was indeed only one guild in DEPRA City, the Brotherhood Gathering Guild.
Logically speaking, now that Meng Jingtian had caused a ruckus and chased the European players out of DEPRA City, the Brotherhood Gathering Guild should have occupied depra city and become the leading guild in depra city.
However, the change was not limited to the original gang war that had almost turned into a "Country war."After the European players left DEPRA city, many Chinese players and gangs quickly swarmed into depra city.
These gangs and players naturally wanted to compete for resources. The Brotherhood gathering, which had just fought a big battle with Meng Jingtian and had lost four to five levels on average, felt a little bitter in front of these gangs.
Right now, Luo Tian was leading all the members of the Guild to compete with a Foreign Guild, war dragon, for a training ground.
Originally, the training ground of the Brotherhood gathering was the Silver Moon Lake, but that was a compromise that they had no choice but to make under the pressure of the European server players.
Now that the European server players had chased them away, Luo Tian thought that he couldn't go back to how he was in the past, right?
Not to mention taking a few more leveling grounds, he could even take a better one!
Luo Tian knew the current situation in depra city. There were many powerful dragons from outside. Although he was a local snake, he had just suffered a great loss. He didn't dare to fight for the best one. He only brought people to this ordinary black bear forest to prepare to level up, to make up for the experience lost in the great battle.
Who would have thought that this black bear forest would also be taken over by the War Dragon Gang. Moreover, they weren't willing to give it up.
At this moment, when Meng Jingtian went online and mentioned it, he didn't even dare to tell Meng Jingtian about it.
Sigh! What a disgrace! Meng Jingtian had even chased away the European server players, but he still couldn't even get a training ground. What a F * cking disgrace!
Hearing Luo Tian's stammering words, Meng Jingtian frowned. Although he didn't know the current situation in depra city, he could vaguely sense that something was wrong.
"Where are you? I'll go look for you!"Meng Jingtian did not continue to ask about the matter of the Congregation for Justice Association, and directly asked Luo Tian's location.
He knew that if this kid did not want to tell him, he might not be able to find out. It was better to go look for him directly.
"I'm outside the city! I'll be back in a while. Go wait for me at the Flying Dragon Tavern First!"Luo Tian did not have the face to tell Meng Jingtian about the current awkward situation of the Congregation for Justice Association, and stuttered.
It seemed that this kid had made up his mind not to say anything!
Meng jingtian opened the chat interface and sent a message to the Bai siblings and Zhao Yiyun at the same time, asking where they were.
"Holy shit! Boss Meng, You're finally online! Don't you know that not only those foreign devils are hungry wolves, but our compatriots aren't any better! They're all a bunch of ungrateful wolves!"Zhao Yiyun did not have as many concerns as Luo Tian, he immediately replied and complained.
"F * ck, how many levels did we drop in order to drive away the Knight's code? They're really good. They're just sitting around and taking advantage of us. They won't even let us have a piece of leveling ground! They're just bullying us because our levels are low now!"
"Where are you guys? I'm coming over now!"Meng Jingtian was stunned. As expected, there was something, so he immediately asked Zhao Yiyun.
"Black Bear Forest! Boss Meng, hurry up and come over! We're already at war with the War Dragons'bastards. We've dropped our levels. We can't Hold On!"Zhao Yiyun urged.
"Understood! We'll be there soon!"Meng Jingtian replied. He checked the map and quickly rushed towards black bear forest.
If 30% of the battle with the European server players was for the sake of the nation, then the remaining 70% was entirely due to brotherhood.
Now that the foreign devils had chased them away, how could he just watch as his brothers were bullied by his own people?
"All of you, Stop!"They rushed to the black bear forest. Just as Zhao Yiyun had said, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle.
However, due to the suppression of their levels, war dragon's people had the upper hand, and the Juyi faction was in a miserable state.
Meng Jingtian shouted, but no one paid any attention to him. After all, War Dragon's people didn't know him, and they were currently in a group battle with the JUYI faction. Who would have the time to check the information of this person who had suddenly appeared?
Chapter 78
On the other hand, when the people from the Brotherhood gathering saw that Meng Jingtian had come, they were all excited, and even their fighting spirit instantly became much higher.
"Brother Meng is here! F * CK that Damned War Dragon!"
"Pui! What Bullsh * T War Dragon? We've even chased away the Knight's code, so why should we be afraid of a war dragon?"
"Right! Mages, activate your burst! Attack with all your might! Assassins, go and cut off their wet nurses! We Can't lose, do we still have any face left?"Zhao Yiyun saw that his side's morale was high, he also immediately shouted, further increasing the morale of the members.
Unfortunately, the game was not a real-life fight after all. No matter how high your morale was, the most you could do was to be a little more delicate. It was impossible for your "Strength"to increase as well as your attributes to increase.
Therefore, the current situation of the gathering of brotherhood was still not very optimistic.
Luo Tian looked at Meng Jingtian who had appeared here and was stunned. Then, he smiled bitterly.
F * ck! He was so focused on fighting that he forgot to greet his subordinates.
Now, however, he felt a little awkward and didn't know what to say.
They had grown up together, but Meng Jingtian had single-handedly picked a city of European server players. Luo Tian couldn't even handle a guild. The gap between them was really too big!
Without waiting for Luo Tian to say anything, Meng Jingtian directly sent him an application to join the team.
Luo Tian hesitated for a moment, but still agreed to join the team.
After all, the person had already arrived. He couldn't chase Meng Jingtian away and force him to stay out of this matter, could he?
"Sigh! I still have to rely on you!"Luo Tian sighed and said with a bitter smile.
"What the hell are you being arrogant for? With your current level, it's already not bad that you can do this! Next, watch me!"Meng Jingtian punched his fist and said.
"Sky-incinerating fire!"Meng Jingtian didn't even look at the war dragon's players. He flipped his hand and sent a sky-incinerating fire down.
Within 200 meters, a scarlet flame burned fiercely.
A series of blood-red virtual numbers shot out from the war dragon's players and gradually faded away, while the characters turned into white light and disappeared.
"Eh? There are still a few left. You guys have a lot of people!" 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝗰𝗼𝐦
After the Sea of fire disappeared, there were still a few dragon warrior players standing there in a daze. They were shocked by the scene in front of them.
The range of the Sea of fire was limited. Just now, they were just outside the range.
F * ck! Was this a player's operation? Moreover, this sea of fire... why was it so familiar? The few of them roared in their hearts and asked.
"Meng Jingtian! He's Meng Jingtian!"Suddenly, one of the Dragon Warrior players reacted and shouted excitedly.
"No wonder this sea of fire is so familiar. Isn't this the same skill that wiped out the European server players in the video? It's just that the range seems to be much smaller..."another player's eyes lit up as he muttered.
"Do you want to return to the Resurrection Point Yourself, or do you want me to send you back?"When Meng Jingtian saw that they had recognized him, he generously gave them a chance to choose.
"I... I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself!"The power of Meng Jingtian's three words was not small in the eyes of the Chinese players in the European server.
A few of the remaining people immediately replied.
The other few shouted, "You do it, you do it! Kill me! I can go out and brag that I've fought boss Meng before!"
No matter what their answer was, the expressions on their faces... were actually quite excited!
"F * ck! Is there something wrong with your brain? Why are you so happy to be killed?"The corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched as he ridiculed in a low voice.
"Sigh — let me kill you!"Seeing that this group of people didn't have the slightest bit of regret and was still so happy, the corner of Zhao Yiyun's mouth twitched as he said unhappily.
"F * ck! Who Do you think you are? Who knows how many times we've killed you just now. You're the only one who still wants to kill us. Dream On!"Zhan long and the others'expressions immediately changed as they mocked.
At this moment, one of them suddenly woke up and reminded, "F * ck! Boss Meng, you should be here for the gathering, right?"
They were too excited just now. Who cared why Meng Jingtian would appear here and why he would attack them?
"Ah! I remember now. There's a rumor on the forum. It says that the reason why Meng Jingtian fought with the European players was because of a Chinese Guild!"
"Meng Jingtian is from the guild formation token?"
A few battle dragon survivors discussed as if no one was around.
"Big Brother! Do you still accept people from the guild formation token? I want to join the Guild Formation Token!"
"And me! Guild master, Please Accept Me!"
In the blink of an eye, the few war dragon players joined the guild formation token without any principles. Moreover, because the guild formation token was scarce now, the war dragon did not even establish a guild. In other words, they could just leave the guild as they wished.
Luo Tian looked at the few war dragon players who were clamoring to join the guild formation token, and his heart was filled with complicated emotions.
"Heh! Who the F * ck just said that they didn't know how many times they killed me? I'm the Vice Guild member of the Guild Formation Token. If you want to join the guild, wait for your next life!"Zhao Yiyun looked at them and said, he immediately felt relieved and sneered. He crossed his arms and said angrily.
The few of them were stunned and said with a sad face, "Don't! Can't I Let You Kill Your Way Back?"
Meng Jingtian scratched his head and looked at Luo Tian. Should they kill them or not?
"If you want to join the gang, you can. We'll test you for a month first. If you're strong enough and loyal enough, we'll let you join the gang!"Luo Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this scene, but he quickly reacted and replied.
The gathering of brotherhood indeed needed to expand its scale. Although the members of the battle dragons were still enemies just now, they were still Chinese people. If one family didn't speak to the other, there wouldn't be any overnight feuds.
They were only fighting over benefits. Now that the other party wanted to join them, if they were sincere, it wasn't impossible to accept them.
Following which, he lamented in his heart, 'comparing people is infuriating!'!
He fought desperately with the war dragon just to fight for a training ground.
But now, when Meng Jingtian appeared, what was the point of fighting? The other party directly joined them!
This level was completely different!
"Sigh! Brother, you're so amazing! I don't even dare to be friends with you anymore. I'm afraid that if I tell others, you'll lose face!"Luo Tian couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"What are you talking about? I don't care if my friends are powerful or not. They're not as powerful as me anyway! Don't be afraid of trouble. Just look for me if you need anything!"Meng Jingtian patted Luo Tian's shoulder and joked.
...
As for those war dragons, since Luo Tian had agreed to inspect them, he didn't kill them for the time being and let them join the gathering.
"Is there any high-level dungeon nearby? I'll bring you to level up and get some equipment along the way!"Meng Jingtian then asked Luo Tian.
Although the small monsters outside would drop equipment, they were usually only low-level equipment. Unless it was a wild boss, the equipment would be better.
It was easier to get equipment than to clear dungeons.
"I know of a level 30,25-man dungeon, the Spectre's lair. The Knight's code used to be always cleared!"Zhao Yiyun immediately interrupted and replied.
Chapter 79
"Alright! Then let's go to the Undead Cave!"Meng Jingtian patted Zhao Yiyun on the shoulder and asked him to lead the way. The group of people laughed as they walked towards the undead cave.
However, before they had gone far, Luo Tian suddenly stopped and called out to Meng Jingtian.
"Wait! The people who were arranged to wait in the elemental forest just now have sent news that the Earth Demon Dragon has respawned!"
"Earth Demon Dragon?"Meng Jingtian frowned and asked.
"What? Is this monster special?"
"Special! Of course it is special! Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked someone to wait for it!"Luo Tian laughed.
"The Earth Demon Dragon is the only level 35 yellow-gold BOSS found near depra city. According to the guides on the forum, yellow-gold bosses are the easiest to drop the guild formation token, not to mention a level 35 BOSS!"Luo Tian explained.
Even though so many Huaxia's guild formation token had come to depra city, Luo Tian still did not want to give up the guild formation token so easily.
Moreover, as the local BOSS of depra city, he believed that his control over the distribution of leveling spots and bosses around depra city far exceeded that of those foreign guilds.
"Alright! Then let's go fight this BOSS First!"Meng Jingtian nodded.
A good man should be a good man until the end. Since he had already intervened, he planned to bring Luo Tian's gathering together so that they could stand firm in depra city before doing his own mission.
Otherwise, when the gathering fought with him, they would lose four or five levels out of nowhere and not get any benefits. It also made him feel that he had let down this brother of his.
"Oh right, Little Xiaotian, you've been in DEPRA City for so long. Do you know that girl named Jiang Ruxue? She's pretty amazing. This time, it's all thanks to her."
The group changed their route and headed towards the elemental forest. Meng Jingtian took the opportunity to ask Luo Tian.
"I wanted to thank her, but when I sent her a message online today, she didn't reply to me!"Meng Jingtian said gloomily. was this girl really that cold?
"I know her!"Luo Tian shrugged and curled his lips. "She didn't even reply to you? Then don't ask, I definitely can't find her!"
"Jiang Ruxue must have a special identity! She has been living in the church in depra city, and no one knows where she is."
"However, you were right when you said she was powerful! I remember once, the leader of the Knight's code, Olly, had a crush on her and wanted to pursue her." 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝗺
"Jiang Ruxue said that she had to be stronger than her to have the right to chase after her. In the end, Jiang Ruxue just stood there and let Olly hack at her for half a day. Olly hacked himself to death!"Luo Tian shrugged his shoulders, when he said this, his expression was still a little incredulous.
"Hacked himself to death?"Meng Jingtian was stunned for a moment before he could not help but laugh. He remembered that Jiang Ruxue seemed to have a divine golden body skill that could reflect damage. Could it be that she used this skill to reflect damage to Olly?
However, Olly wouldn't be so stupid, right? Shouldn't he know that the damage would reflect after a slash? Why did he keep slashing?
"Interesting! Old Luo, look at how much I've helped you..."Meng Jingtian raised his arm and hugged Luo Tian's shoulder.
"Enough! Enough! Don't make it so mushy and disgusting! I'll get someone to help you find it!"Luo Tian's mouth twitched. He shook off Meng Jingtian's arm and said disdainfully.
"Haha! You're really a good brother!"Meng Jingtian laughed out loud and slapped Luo Tian on the chest.
"F * ck! How much strength do you have? Are you trying to kill me with a Slap?"Luo Tian covered his chest and complained.
"It's only about 20 to 30 points!"Meng Jingtian curled his lips and said. His points were more balanced.
Ever since he had leveled up from level 20 to Level 42, the free attribute points he gained from leveling up had been added to his strength by 5 points. In addition to the Forgotten Ring's + 10 all attributes, it was exactly 30 points!
On the other hand, the spirit attribute was more heaven-defying. 30 points for a cup of tea from Qian Kun monastery, another 5 points for a dao formula from Lao Jun from the Heavenly Dao College, and with the attributes of the forgotten ring, it had already broken through 70 points, that was why his magic-type skills had such high damage.
"You F * cking added all your strength? 30 points of strength at Level 42! I'm afraid that you added more than 20 points to strength!"Luo Tian said in shock.
He saw that Meng Jingtian mostly used magic-type skills! Strength was too weird!
"No! My Spirit is more than twice my strength!"Meng Jingtian shrugged and said.
Luo Tian was speechless, "No Way? You're only Level 42, where the F * ck did you get more than 100 attribute points?"
"Did you see a bull flying in the sky again?"Meng Jingtian saw his expression and curled his lips and asked.
"No... I just want to be quiet!"Luo Tian's mouth twitched as he covered his chest.
Meng Jingtian's bragging had turned into reality, and it was even more so. How could he dare to doubt anything Meng Jingtian said?
This time, Luo Tianniu didn't see it. He saw a bunch of stars flying above his head!
He wasn't surprised! This was very normal! Very normal!
Luo Tian muttered in his heart. He should have known that Meng Jingtian's attack was instant. His attributes should also be very perverse.
However, when he heard Meng Jingtian say it himself, he could not help but be shocked!
It was one thing for him to have a F * cking level lead, but it was another for him to have a special identity. His attributes were so much higher than normal levels. This was really heaven-defying!
"Guild Master! You're here!"At this moment, the party arrived at the location of the Elemental Forest to farm the Earth Dragon Boss. The members of the gathering brotherhood came over and called out to Luo Tian, trying to distract him.
Earth Dragon (yellow-gold BOSS)
Level:
HP: 3,500,0
Skills: Dragon's Roar, Earth's wrath, thick Earth armor..
Meng Jingtian took a look at the BOSS wandering in the distant forest and could not help but laugh.
3,500,000 hp? That was really not enough for him to look at!
"Divine punishment!"Meng Jingtian did not wait for Luo Tian and the others to arrange the manpower and division of Labor to kill the BOSS. He directly threw a divine punishment over.
"Something 377,411″with a divine punishment, he directly killed the Earth Dragon with over 300,000 hp. The Earth Dragon's HP was instantly emptied.
This was because the Earth Dragon was an earth-type monster that specialized in defense.
Otherwise, Meng Jingtian's divine punishment could kill over 200,000 level 50 monsters, and the damage dealt to these level 30 monsters would be even higher.
"Something 9411"
"Something 10751"
...
..
Seeing that Meng Jingtian had started killing monsters, Luo Tian and the others quickly followed suit.
The Earth Dragon's friendliness towards Meng Jingtian was 100. Even though it had lost dozens of points and changed it to respect, it still did not dare to charge towards Meng Jingtian. Instead, it charged straight towards Luo Tian.
"F * ck! Old Han, quickly go up and tank the Monsters!"Luo Tian quickly shouted.
"That's not fair! Your damage output is clearly much higher than mine. Why did I OT it with just one hit? !"
"Because you're ugly! You Can't even stand to look at the Monsters Anymore!"Meng Jingtian joked.
Then, he threw another burning sky flame at the foot of the earthen dragon. He activated his -LCB- heavenly transformation } and rushed up to the BOSS to attack it.
The Boss'hp almost instantly fell to 70% . Then, he threw out a skill, { Dragon's Roar } .
Chapter 80
A circle of thick black energy instantly spread out in all directions with the Earth Demon Dragon as the center.
Moreover, the spreading speed was very fast. Almost no one had any reaction. This circle of black energy charged through their bodies.
"Something 27,841"
"Something 30,112"
..
One by one, damage numbers appeared on the bodies of the members of JUYI faction. Everyone's health bar instantly disappeared. In a flash, it dropped to an extremely low critical point. All of them were left with little health.
"All of you, withdraw from the Battle Range! Old Han can stay behind."Meng Jingtian looked at them and frowned, shouting at the Congregation for Brotherhood members.
He also used divine recovery to heal old Han.
If it wasn't for old Han pulling the aggro of the monster, Meng Jingtian wouldn't have been able to pull the aggro over no matter how high his damage was due to his special status. Even Old Han didn't need to.., meng Jingtian could solo this BOSS by himself.
At this moment, since the aggro had already been drawn, if old Han were to withdraw, the BOSS would be pulled away and they would have to fight again.
Luo Tian looked and saw that the members of the Brotherhood had lost levels after the battle with the Knight's code. Their average level was only 28 or 29. Their bodies were indeed a little fragile in front of this level 35 gold-tier BOSS, the Healer could not heal them at all.
If they stayed here, they would only cause trouble for Meng Jingtian. Hence, they shouted, "Retreat! All of You Retreat!"
The members of the Congregation for Brotherhood were stunned and subconsciously retreated.
However, their faces were filled with confusion. In the end, it turned into helplessness.
Weren't they here to fight the BOSS in a team? Now, why did it seem like they had become onlookers to fight the BOSS?
A group of gang members stood outside the BOSS'attack range in a mess. They watched Meng Jingtian attack randomly. In less than a minute, the BOSS used another skill.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. With the speed of Meng Jingtian's attack, if they had not retreated just now, they would have been wiped out in a wave, right?
The interval between the two skills was too short. The wet nurse had no way to restore everyone's HP to a healthy state.
"I've finally seen it for myself! It seems that we don't even have the right to paddle!"Bai Ling came back to his senses and said speechlessly.
"40% ... 20% ... 10% ..."
Two minutes later, Meng Jingtian looked at the Earth Demon Dragon's remaining few thousand HP and was speechless. He was still as black-hearted as ever!
He had thought that he would be able to take the BOSS away with his last slash. He did not expect that the BOSS would lose more than 2,000 damage.
Then, he raised his hand and prepared to strike again.
However, at this time, before the sword in Meng Jingtian's hand fell, the BOSS suddenly fell. It turned into a ray of colorful light and disappeared, leaving a lot of equipment and items on the ground.
Someone was snatching the BOSS!
Meng Jingtian was stunned. He only saw a bone claw stretching out from the ground, snatching away a pure black token among the dropped items.
The passive pick-up ability of the forgotten ring was delayed, and it was only then that it was activated. It began to pick up the ownerless equipment on the ground.
In tomorrow, the items dropped by wild bosses were ownerless, and all players who participated in the attack had the right to pick them up.
Under normal circumstances, the players who participated in the BOSS grinding basically belonged to the same faction. Naturally, there would not be any disputes, and the equipment would be distributed by the "Boss".
Other than stealing the boss!
What kind of speed was this! Meng Jingtian was very depressed. He started to look for traces of the other party.
Everything happened too quickly, too suddenly!
Luo Tian and the other members of the Brotherhood gathering did not even realize that the BOSS had been stolen. Seeing that the BOSS had fallen and the equipment on the ground had been picked up by Meng Jingtian, Luo Tian came over excitedly and asked, "Is there a guild formation token?"
"There should be, but someone snatched it!"Meng Jingtian swept his gaze over a large dark attribute tree far away from the elemental forest. A figure wearing a black cloak quickly fled.
Meng Jingtian immediately pushed Luo Tian away and chased after him with a golden light.
That person had witnessed the damage that Meng Jingtian dealt when he fought the BOSS with a skill that dealt a large amount of damage. He fought the BOSS like he was fighting a small monster. At this moment, he fled and frantically operated with Meng Jingtian, he tried to dodge Meng Jingtian's attack with his snake skin.
Meng Jingtian's face was cold. He chased after the player until he was within the attack range. Then, he raised his hand and cast divine punishment.
"284511"allowed the player to show off his skills. However, divine punishment was a specific skill. He could not dodge it. He could only resist it!
When the player saw the white thunderbolt falling, although he dodged it, the White Thunderbolt turned in the air and hit his head. An unreasonable damage appeared.
"F * ck! It even has an automatic navigation!"The player only had time to leave a last word before he turned into a white light and returned to the city.
"F * ck, did I get unlucky today?"Looking at the empty ground after the player died, the corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched.
Not to mention the guild formation token, not even a single piece of equipment dropped! 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢
Right now, the only thing that could punish Meng Jingtian was this inexplicable luck.
"Ding! Congratulations player Zheng Jianguo for establishing the guild formation token of the cult of Shadows. We welcome all those who have the ambition to join us!"
When Luo Tian and the others caught up to them, Zheng Jianguo, who had been sent back to the Resurrection Point by Meng Jingtian, actually used the guild formation token.
"Cult of Shadows! HMPH! What a good name. You're a Chinese, yet you have to be so westernized to name yourself a guild. How dare you call yourself Zheng Jianguo!"Meng Jingtian waved his hand and said angrily.
He naturally knew that he would have to be extremely lucky to obtain the guild formation token if he wanted to kill Zheng country once.
However, he had no other choice. could he just watch as Zheng country took advantage of him and ran away?
Luo Tian was also a little embarrassed. There were so many of them gathered here to watch the battle, and they even let someone steal the item and run away.
Seeing Meng Jingtian so angry, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Forget it! Forget it! Don't be angry. It's just a guild formation token. I'll get it sooner or later."
"A guild formation token is nothing! If I don't have any reaction after stealing a monster from my hands, won't people think that I have a good temper? "Next time, continue to bully me!"Meng Jingtian glanced at Luo Tian and said.
If he didn't have the ability, then forget it, but he had the ability.
Since Zheng Jianguo dared to steal it, Meng Jingtian would make him pay the price!
...
However... in the European server, there was no "Bai Xiaosheng"here. It was already good enough for the China region's Bai Xiaosheng to be able to obtain information about the European server forum in real time, it was impossible for them to be as familiar with the information in the European server game as they were with the information in the China region.
And without anyone to provide information to Meng jingtian, it was indeed not easy for him to find a player in the vast sea of people in the game.
However, with his previous experience in the country, he knew how to deal with this kind of matter.
His strength was not just limited to these skills and attributes!
"Wanted by the entire city: due to the 'cult of Shadows'gang Zheng Jia Guo's stealing of monsters, I am extremely angry! From now on, no matter who it is, whoever takes the cult of Shadows Gang member's head will be rewarded with 100 gold coins, the gang will manage 1,000 gold coins per time, and Zheng Jia Guo will receive 10,000 gold coins per time. Take a screenshot and get it from me!"
Money is capricious!
Chapter 81
The instant this message was posted in the city channel, the players who were chatting happily were all stunned.
As a result, after Meng Jingtian's message, there were only a few messages that were sent out by others, causing Meng Jingtian's reward message to stay in the channel for a while.
"Meng Jingtian! It's that God who killed those European server players in one move!"
"F * ck! Quick, take a screenshot. Such a God is actually alive!"
"Cult of Shadows? No Way! When I heard the announcement just now, I even admired that fellow Zheng Jia Guo for a while. I didn't expect that his guild formation token was snatched from Meng Jingtian's hands."
"Isn't that even more admirable? Awesome! Snatching things from such a God!"
"Don't you have a F * cking worldview? Without boss Meng, we wouldn't know where we would still be bullied by the European Service Devils! If this kid dares to snatch boss Meng's things, then he must fight to the death!"
After a moment of silence, the city channel became lively.
Not only was Meng Jingtian Rich, he was also famous!
Things like fame might sometimes be a burden, but no matter what, at least for now, it was still quite useful.
Because of Meng Jingtian's fame, although his message had been covered by the discussions of other players, it didn't affect the spread of the message.
Because the entire city channel was now discussing this message.
There were all kinds of people. Some of the jealous ones secretly said a few sour words and scorned, "Isn't it just being robbed of a monster? How normal is that in the game?"? Was there a need to make such a big fuss? He was really petty!
Some hot-blooded people saw Meng Jingtian as a national hero and immediately stopped talking. They clapped their hands and called a few good friends over. Then, they went around to look for people from the "Dark church".
It was different to build a gang. In the players'public information, they could see what kind of gang the other party belonged to. It was impossible to hide it even if they wanted to.
Of course, the majority of the players were actually attracted by the bounty on Meng Jingtian's head. They also organized themselves and searched everywhere for the members of the Dark Vatican.
To Meng Jingtian, the quests he had completed rewarded him with tens of thousands of gold coins, hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and the gold coins from the first guild formation token that he had sold in China as his capital. This amount of gold coins was nothing at all.
However, that was because the npcs that Meng jingtian had come into contact with were not at the level of gods, and they were not that low either. They had only accepted high-level quests, which was why there were so many rewards.
For the npcs that ordinary players had come into contact with, it was already not bad to be able to pay a few gold coins for a single quest. Just like when Meng Jingtian was still in seaside city, he could not even afford a teleportation portal with the gold coins from the quests.
With Meng Jingtian's bounty, the normal members of the cult of Shadows were worth 100 gold coins per head. This made all the players in DEPRA City go crazy.
What kind of quest was there to do? What kind of profession was there to train?
This was a windfall! If they could snatch it, they would earn it!
All the Chinese players in depra city began to search frantically. In their eyes, a normal player from the cult of shadows could be considered a "Small BOSS".
Moreover, this player was much easier to defeat than a BOSS. He could even fight one-on-one.
The main culprit of this matter, Zheng Jianguo, was currently shivering in the shadow of an NPC.
He was a dark summoner, a hidden class. Previously, it was because of this that he hid behind the dark attribute trees in the elemental forest and was not discovered by Meng Jingtian.
Looking at the players who were searching for him on the streets, Zheng Jiaguo's face was filled with bitterness.
He had only passed through the elemental forest and went to the corpse mining cave to level up when he happened to see Meng Jingtian and the others killing the BOSS.
At a glance, he saw that the BOSS'level was really F * cking high! That made his heart itch. An assassin who did not snatch the BOSS was not a good mage.
Zheng Jiaguo immediately took advantage of the time when Luo Tian and the others retreated and no one noticed him. He hid himself and summoned his highest agility, Gale skeleton. In the end, he snatched the guild formation token.
He originally thought that no matter how powerful Meng Jingtian was, he would still use the guild formation token. At most, Meng Jingtian would only kill him a few times to vent his anger. There was nothing he could do.
Who the F * ck knew that not only was this guy powerful, he was also F * cking rich!
Looking at the players'red eyes, Zheng Jia Guo did not dare to show himself at all. Otherwise, they would probably kill Zheng Jia Guo back to level 0 before they would give up.
After all, each head was worth 10,000!
It was almost equivalent to the value of a level 30 gold BOSS.
"Ding! Player Zhou Han has quit the club!"
"Ding! Player Jiang Yi has quit the club!"
"Ding! Player Mo Xiaoxue has quit the club!"
..
Just as Zheng Jiaguo was still worried about his future, system notifications rang in his ears.
The gang members who had just joined the gang chose to leave.
"F * ck! This bunch of disloyal people!"Zheng Jianguo couldn't help but curse.
This cult of Shadows Gang wasn't something he had set up on a whim. In order to use up the guild formation token, Meng Jingtian had no choice but to set it up.
And it was indeed a gang set up by Zheng Jianguo. It had over a hundred members before.
However, it could only be considered a small guild.
Therefore, although he had come to depra city just like the other Huaxia guilds, he did not dare to compete for any resources in the first round. He only waited for the big shots to clearly divide their powers before he went to find someone to rely on.
This time, he had accidentally snatched the guild formation token. Zheng Jianguo was secretly delighted. He had heard that after the guild formation, there would be a lot of benefits for the guild. He even fantasized about leading the cult of shadows to the peak.
However, what made him vomit blood was that Meng Jingtian, this nouveau riche, was so f * cking generous!
Zheng Jianguo himself wanted to commit suicide a few times and look for Meng Jingtian to collect the reward, not to mention the other players.
At this moment, the gang members who had just been pulled into the gang retreated one by one. This made Zheng Jianguo have a bad feeling.
"Dedula City: 75,93."
"Zheng Jianguo is here! Everyone, come and kill him!"
This bad feeling did not last long. A player sent the coordinates of Zheng Jianguo, who was hidden in the shadow of the NPC, to the city channel.
...
"Du Yuan! F * ck! You Ingrate!"When Zheng Jianguo saw the player ID who sent the message, he vomited blood and immediately sent him a message cursing.
This du Yuan was an elder of his cult of Shadows!
"I'm sorry! Leader, who told you to snatch Meng Shen! He is my idol!"Du Yuan replied calmly.
"Zheng Jia Guo is really here! Everyone, come quickly!"At this moment, a player had already discovered the hidden Zheng Jia Guo and immediately shouted.
A large group of people instantly gathered around excitedly.
However, there were still people who were discussing, "This is a safe zone! If we kill him, won't we have to go to jail?"
"If you don't dare to kill him, let me do it! Ten thousand gold coins is so easy to earn, even if we have to go to jail for half a month, we can just accept it!"
Chapter 82
While the crowd was still discussing, zheng jianguo cried out, "Ah!"He turned into a white light and disappeared.
"F * ck! You're really fast!"The players glared at the person who had just snatched the head.
"Zheng Jianguo has returned to the Resurrection Point! Everyone, go and stop him!"Another shout and the crowd swarmed over.
Meanwhile, after Meng Jingtian announced the bounty, he followed his previous plan and brought Luo Tian and the others to clear the dungeon.
This level 30 dungeon was already considered very high-level for Luo Tian and the others. It was also quite difficult.
Normally, for a guild like the Knight's code, it would take around two hours for 25 level 30 and above players to clear the dungeon in one go. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"At most, 25 people can enter at once. You guys make the arrangements and take turns!"Outside the gloomy cave entrance, Meng Jingtian said to Luo Tian.
There were at least a hundred people in their group.
"Why don't we go back first? Boss Meng, you can take these elders and elites of Our Gang to clear the dungeon! Then, we'll let them take us,"Bai Ling suggested.
After all, in their hearts, clearing the dungeon once would take at least one to two hours. Wouldn't they have to wait until the end of time if they took turns coming here?
Why don't we let Meng Jingtian bring the elites of the gang to clear the dungeon a few more times, get their equipment and levels up, and then get rich first, then get rich later, pulling the ordinary gang members like them along.
"Since we're already here, how can we let you go back empty-handed? Don't worry! It Won't take long to clear the dungeon once."Meng Jingtian waved his hand and said.
Then, he looked at Luo Tian and waited for him to arrange for his gang members.
"Just listen to Old Meng! He said it won't take long, so it definitely won't take long."Luo Tian replied.
"You guys wait outside for a while. Zhao Yiyun, an Xin... you guys leave the group. We'll regroup with Old Meng to clear the dungeon!"
Luo Tian was very familiar with the people in his gang. He called out 23 people without even taking a breath. Along with Meng Jingtian and himself, the 25 people formed a new team to clear the dungeon.
Then, under Meng Jingtian's lead, the group walked into the gloomy cave in front of them.
After stepping into the cave, the scene in front of everyone seemed to have changed. This meant that they had entered the dungeon.
However, upon closer inspection, the scene in front of them did not change at all compared to what they saw outside the cave. It was just that the light was a little dimmer.
Previously, this dungeon was occupied by the Knight's code. It was specially used for the elite members of their guild to farm equipment. Luo Tian and the others did not have the chance to come into contact with it.
Therefore, when they entered the dungeon, they were a little confused about the distribution of monsters and the dungeon mechanism. They could only follow closely behind Meng Jingtian.
To them, this was still a new dungeon!
On the other hand, Meng Jingtian did not care about that. He knew that many dungeons had small shortcuts that could prevent them from fighting with unnecessary monsters. They could go straight to the BOSS.
However, that would require time to explore, so he did not have the time to do so.
He led Luo Tian and the others and swaggered into the tunnel leading to the first boss.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"A creepy sound rang out. From the dark corner of the tunnel and the soil beneath their feet, many ghostly flames appeared.
Normal Undead:
Level:
HP: 170,0
Skills: Undead Overture, Undead Fire
"F * ck! So Many?"Luo Tian was so shocked that he subconsciously cried out. He pulled out the longsword at his waist and prepared to slash the monsters.
The other members of the party were actually elites of the congregation. When they saw the small monsters swarming over, they immediately adjusted their positions.
The Knights went forward to pull the aggro of the small monsters. The mages and priests gathered in a group to find a safe position to deal damage and heal.
The other melee classes also prepared to step forward and kill the monsters.
"Burning Sky Fire!"However, just as the mages raised their staffs and the Warriors pulled out their swords, these densely packed monsters were cleared by Meng Jingtian with a single skill.
Luo Tian's mouth twitched. He could only put his sword back into its scabbard in embarrassment.
Then, he raised his hand and called out to the other gang members, "Enough! Enough! Don't be so nervous. We're just here to watch the show anyway."
After entering the dungeon for 50 seconds, the party arrived in front of the first BOSS.
Undead Lord:
Level:
HP: 1,000,0
Skills: Undead Roar, soul rendition..
This time, Luo Tian and the others did not even get into formation. They turned their heads to look at Meng Jingtian.
Boss, let's do it!
"God's punishment!"Meng Jingtian did not waste any time and threw a skill at the boss.
"-497,511"
As a BOSS, the undead Lord was instantly killed by Meng Jingtian.
The undead Lord's level was much lower than Meng Jingtian's, and it was not good at defense. When Meng Jingtian's skill hit it, the damage it received was much higher than when it was fighting a level 50 BOSS and the earthen dragon.
After losing 50% of its HP, the undead Lord, which was about to charge at Luo Tian and the others, paused for a moment and prepared to use its skill.
Meng Jingtian immediately charged forward and slashed a few times.
The Lord of the dead, who did not even have the chance to use his skills, turned into a colorful light and exploded.
He was probably the most disgraced person in the world of bosses.
He was killed like a small monster!
...
"It's time to distribute the equipment!"Meng Jingtian directly threw the equipment that had been picked up by the forgotten ring to Luo Tian and the others, letting them distribute it among themselves.
"Ten Seconds!"Then, he muttered as he walked to the next BOSS, "Come here quickly after you distribute the equipment!"
It had only taken him ten seconds to defeat this BOSS, the undead Lord. It was almost the same as killing a small monster.
"..."Luo Tian and the others were speechless as they silently distributed the equipment.
They were all purple and blue equipment. Why did they feel like they were picking up trash?
Since they were all members of the gang, there was no need to auction them off. Whoever needed them would get them. In a short while, they had finished distributing the loot. The party went after Meng Jingtian.
Meng Jingtian had cleared all the monsters along the way. When they reached the second BOSS, they saw that the second BOSS had also exploded into a ball of colorful light and disappeared.
F * ck! Luo Tian was speechless. Meng Jingtian had completely crushed this level of dungeon!
"There's still one more BOSS, right?"Meng Jingtian muttered and continued to walk toward the next BOSS.
Two minutes later, the group left the dungeon.
"They came out so quickly?"Looking at Meng Jingtian and the others, Bai Ling and the others who had just found a place to sit down and prepared to wait immediately stood up and said in surprise.
...
It couldn't be that they didn't fight, right? It had only been a few minutes, right?
"Good! Those who have obtained the equipment, leave the team. The rest of you, fill in!"Luo Tian shouted and made arrangements.
At this time, the members of the cult of Shadows had been scattered by the players. Many players sent screenshots, looking for Meng Jingtian to collect the reward.
Meng Jingtian asked them to wait for him for half a day before going to the Flying Dragon Tavern in the afternoon to collect the reward.
When he looked again, he saw that the effect of the money attack was so good. He had an idea and also posted the news about holy orchid, offering a reward of 100,000 gold coins for the players to help him find it.
Chapter 83
Before the afternoon, Meng Jingtian had brought Luo Tian and the others to clear the dungeon for two hours when he received a private message from Zheng Jianguo.
"God! I know I was wrong. Please spare me! I'll return this guild formation token to You! The guild master can hand it over, and the guild name can be changed."
In these two hours, Zheng Jianguo had died countless times. He also wanted to log off, but unfortunately, the resurrection points were filled with players who came to snatch the bounty. The group attack never stopped. Once he resurrected, he would enter the battle, and there was no way he could log off.
Moreover, because it was a virtual game, it was not like the old-fashioned games from more than a hundred years ago, where one could turn off the machine or forcefully log out.
In a virtual game, there was only one way to forcefully log out, and that was to let the people outside forcefully wake him up.
Unfortunately, Zheng Jianguo lived alone in country y to study, and he did not have a good relationship with his classmates. At this moment, he could not even contact anyone who could help him.
They could only watch numbly as their levels dropped one level after another. The players who killed him were captured by the NPC guards in the city one after another, but the number did not seem to decrease at all. It even increased.
During these two hours, he had thought of many ways to escape from the predicament, but it was to no avail.
Now, there was only one way left — to beg Meng Jingtian for mercy!
"Oh? Now You Know Your Mistake?"Meng Jingtian looked at it and could not help but smile. He sent a message back and asked.
"It's my bad hand! I shouldn't have snatched your guild formation token, God. The Cult of Shadows has already been scattered by them, and I've lost quite a few levels. You should be appeased now, right?"Zheng Jianguo said helplessly.
"Pull Luo Tian into the gang first and hand the gang over to him!"Meng Jingtian said directly.
"Ding! Player Zheng Jia Guo invites you to join the 'cult of Shadows'Guild!"A system notification sounded in Luo Tian's ears almost at the same time.
Luo Tian, who was just about to enter the dungeon, was stunned. He looked at Meng Jingtian, who had suddenly stopped and said, "What's the situation? Zheng Jia Guo invites me into the Guild."
"Enter! Looks like you don't have to wait for the next guild formation token."Meng Jingtian smiled and said.
Only then did Luo Tian agree and join the 'cult of Shadows'Guild.
"Ding! Player Zheng Jia Guo wishes to hand over the position of Guild Master to you. It will take effect 24 hours later."
"It will take effect 24 hours later!"Although he didn't know what conditions Meng Jingtian and Zheng Jia Guo had reached, Luo Tian still raised his head and said to Meng Jingtian when he heard the notification.
"It's fine! If he dares to cancel it, the worst that can happen is that there will be another reward."Meng Jingtian didn't mind and said with a smile.
"Alright! Let's call it a day! Remember to find Jiang Ruxue for me! I'll go to the tavern and settle the reward for them."Seeing that it was almost noon, Meng Jingtian patted Luo Tian's arm and said.
Even though they had only respawned for two hours, because of Meng Jingtian's high efficiency of respawning every few minutes, the members of the Congregation for Brotherhood had almost all returned with their levels and equipment, and there was still a slight improvement, their average levels had reached level 33 or 34, which was enough for them to occupy a place in depra city.
As for the other members who were not around, they were just invisible existences in the congregation. They could just let these members bring them along.
The group of people returned to depra city in an imposing manner.
Inside the Flying Dragon Tavern, a group of players were lining up, happily looking for Meng Jingtian to receive their rewards. All of their faces were beaming with smiles, as if they were celebrating a new year.
Luo Tian had only been here to accompany Meng Jingtian to distribute the money and buy himself a cup of beer unique to European servers to drink. However, a group of players suddenly swarmed over. They were not looking for Meng Jingtian to receive their rewards. Instead, they pounced on Luo Tian and said that they wanted to join the gathering.
Luo Tian was stunned. He was somewhat flustered as he started to deal with the situation and asked about the situation.
It turned out that it was the members of the gang from War Dragon who had happily posted on the forum that they had already left war dragon and joined the gathering. They were showing off for a while. In the future, they would also be members of the same gang as the god.
Of course, they did not know that Meng Jingtian was actually not a member of the Brotherhood gathering.
However, this did not stop the other players of depra city from grasping the main point. Meng Jingtian was a member of the Brotherhood gathering!
Therefore, these players had come to seek refuge!
It was so cool to have a big tree to lean on! With the god Meng Jingtian holding down the fort, the originally unknown brotherhood gathering that had been submerged in the outer city had instantly become the hottest gang in depra city. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟el.𝚌o𝚖
Not only did the unaffiliated players rush over to join the gang, many other gangs had also heard about it and were willing to join the gathering.
Meanwhile, war dragon was dumbfounded. No wonder that person was so powerful and sent them back to the city with a skill. It was actually Meng Jingtian!
However, they had just fought with the gathering, so how could they have the face to join the gang like the other Chinese gangs?
The War Dragon's management could only remain silent in embarrassment. No one dared to mention this issue.
Following that, the members of the society that the war dragon had gathered together found excuses one after another. They said that they were going to do missions, level up, and do lifestyle jobs before leaving.
However, not long after, they met again in front of the Flying Dragon Tavern. They could only look at each other awkwardly, laugh at each other, and laugh at each other. Without saying anything, they quietly ran in to ask Luo Tian to join the Juyi Society.
After Meng Jingtian distributed the reward, he saw that Luo Tian was surrounded. He stood up and left the tavern. Then, he went to the prison to distribute the rewards to those who had killed the Zheng country.
Two days later, the gathering had already become the true overlord of depra city.
He randomly picked ten players on the street, and nine of them claimed to be members of the gathering.
The Brotherhood gathering was developing very well. Luo Tian was extremely busy all day long, and almost all the players in the city were helping Meng Jingtian find Jiang Ruxue and holy orchid.
Luo Tian also helped to post on the European Server Forum, asking the players from other cities to help find holy orchid.
However, what made Meng Jingtian somewhat distressed was that there was no news at all from Jiang Ruxue or holy orchid.
He had already done so much. If he didn't do anything, he would be at a loss!
This made him realize that even if he fought for it with his strength, there were some things that he couldn't do, such as finding people and things!
Just as Meng Jingtian was at a loss, a paper crane landed at his feet while he was walking on the street.
Meng Jingtian was stunned. He felt that the paper crane looked familiar and couldn't help but squat down to pick it up. He saw that there seemed to be words on the paper crane's wings, so he opened it to take a look.
"Feng Chenghao: 13 * * * * * * * * * ."
It was a series of numbers. It was Feng Chenghao's!
No wonder the paper crane looked so familiar. He had seen Feng Chenghao use it before. It was a skill.
However, this paper crane had flown from the China server to the European server. wasn't it too f * cking heaven-defying?
"Number? What does that mean? You want me to contact him?"Meng Jingtian muttered. He had no idea what he was looking for, so he didn't mind wasting a few minutes before logging off to contact Feng Chenghao.
On the screen of the virtual projection, a young man who looked exactly like Feng Chenghao in the game appeared. However, he wasn't wearing the white robe in the game.
...
Chapter 84
"Your paper crane skill is so awesome? It can even cross the server!"Meng Jingtian said in surprise.
"Why are you looking for me?"Then, he asked.
"No, no, no! I should say that you're looking for me for something!"With a smile on his face, Feng Chenghao raised his index finger and waved it.
"..."the corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched. "I'm Looking for you for something? How come I don't Know?"
"You really don't Know? You're not looking for something right now..."Feng Chenghao smiled indifferently and reminded him.
"How do you know?"Meng Jingtian was stunned. He seemed to understand what Feng Chenghao meant, but he still asked in surprise.
He was looking for people and things, but that was in the European server!
How did Feng Chenghao, who was in the Huaxia Region, Know About It?
Was it also a skill similar to paper crane message? Wasn't that too heaven-defying?
"I'm not the only one who knows. To be more precise, almost all the Huaxia Region Players Know About It!"Feng Chenghao shrugged.
"What do you mean?"Meng Jingtian frowned. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚
"Didn't you go on the Forum? After the incident where you destroyed a city in the European server, Bai Xiaosheng specially opened a post to broadcast all your movements in the European Server!"Feng Chenghao laughed with some schadenfreude.
"Let's put it this way! They probably saw everything you did in the European server as a TV series."
"Can these people be more boring?"Three black lines hung on Meng Jingtian's head as he said speechlessly.
Actually, it was his fault. He was too happy. There were many posts about him in the European server. In depra city, there were no players who didn't know him when he went out. It was too easy for Bai Xiaosheng to inquire about him.
"Forget it. You Mean, you can help me find him? You're in the Huaxia region. How can I find Him?"Meng Jingtian sighed and waved his hand helplessly.
"I have my own way, but I want you to do me a favor!"Feng Chenghao said confidently.
When Meng Jingtian heard that, he narrowed his eyes slightly. He said that there was no free lunch in this world!
Feng Chenghao even came to him to help him. It turned out that he had a favor to ask.
"What favor?"Meng Jingtian continued to ask.
This matter of finding someone to look for flowers had indeed caused Meng Jingtian a lot of trouble. If Feng Chenghao could really help him solve this matter, it wouldn't be a big deal to help him.
"A mission. It shouldn't be difficult for you,"Feng Chenghao replied with a smile.
"What Mission?"Meng Jingtian continued to ask.
Feng Chenghao said that it wasn't difficult? Only a ghost would believe it!
No matter how confident he was in the game, it was better to ask about such things so that he wouldn't fail miserably.
Feng Chenghao paused and sighed. He knew that he couldn't be perfunctory. He shrugged and said, "Actually, it's really not a difficult mission. It's just... It's just sealing an NPC demon from hundreds of years ago."
"But why doesn't it sound as easy as you say?"Meng Jingtian sneered and questioned.
"Sigh, it's really easy! That Demon was originally sealed. We don't need to fight the BOSS. We just need to seal it again,"Feng Chenghao explained.
"Why do I feel that the more I listen, the more difficult your mission is? I really have to think about this matter carefully."Meng Jingtian began to think seriously.
It would have been better if Feng Chenghao had not explained so much earlier. The more he explained, the more Meng Jingtian saw the difficulty of this mission.
First of all, Feng Chenghao was a disciple of a hidden sect. A mission that he could not handle was definitely not simple.
Secondly, the hundreds of years of NPC devils involved such a long time, which meant that the difficulty of this mission was not low.
Finally, there was no need to defeat the BOSS, only to seal the sealed one again?
Why did he seal it again? It must be because the previous seal on that thing was about to lose its effect!
There was no need to defeat the BOSS, which also meant that the BOSS was very strong. The NPC who issued the quest thought that the current players were not strong enough to defeat the BOSS.
"Are you going to agree or not? After this village, there won't be such a shop anymore! If Jiang Ruxue doesn't say it, then only I can find the holy orchid!"Seeing this, Feng Chenghao was a little anxious and urged.
"Okay, I agree!"Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes. "If I had a choice, I wouldn't agree to your ridiculous conditions."
"The premise is that you help me find what I'm looking for first. Otherwise, I won't even be able to go back to China, let alone help you with quests."
"Of course! If you enter the game now, I'll Find Them for you immediately!"Feng Chenghao sighed and answered confidently.
"I hope so!"Meng Jingtian sighed and ended the communication with Feng Chenghao.
Then, he entered the game again.
Not long after he entered the game, another paper crane flew over shakily and landed at his feet.
He opened the paper crane and saw that there were two coordinates written on it. One of them was from Depula City, and the other was from Holy Light City.
Obviously, the location of Depula City was Jiang Ruxue's location, and the other was the location of holy orchid.
"I'll trust you just this once!"Meng Jingtian muttered. He sent a message to Luo Tian, telling him that he had found it. He did not need to mobilize the people in his gang to help him find it. He also withdrew the reward for finding holy orchid.
Then, he looked at the teleportation portal in the middle of the square on the main street, then lowered his head to look at the coordinates written on the paper crane. He squeezed the paper crane into a ball and ran toward the temple that was worshipped in the city.
Depra city was at most a second-tier small city. The God worshiped in the city was not a Lord God. It was only a minor god under the Lord God of light. However, it also belonged to the Holy See's power in the human world.
The main hall of the temple worshiped the god statue was a public area. All players could come here to worship the god statue.
However, the monastery behind the main hall was the Holy See's private territory. Only npcs belonging to the Holy See could enter.
At this moment, Meng Jingtian entered the statue of God. He didn't pay his respects to the god and went straight to the closed door of the monastery.
There were two NPC knights guarding here. When they saw Meng Jingtian charging over, their expressions were hesitant. They didn't know if they should stop him.
Many gods in the European server didn't agree with each other. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't go to the other party's temple.
After some hesitation, the two knights didn't stop him. After all, he wasn't a follower of another god. He was a god himself!
...
At the same time, one of the western gods who was holding a regular "Chatting and farting"meeting suddenly had a change in expression, he said angrily, "Damn it! A god of the eastern God system dares to barge into my temple. Is this a provocation? See if i..."
Hearing his words, the Demon God who was about to fall asleep suddenly had a jolt. He woke up and suddenly stood up and walked behind the little god. "Ahaha! This... God, I have something to talk to you about! Let's go out and talk!"
The Demon God did not even remember the name of this god, so he tried to muddle it up.
But even so, the little god still had a dull look on his face. He was terrified and uneasy. The Demon God was a main god, and he was the main god of the opposing faction of the western gods!
Chapter 85
At this moment, Meng Jingtian had already barged into the monastery behind the Divine Hall.
"No wonder they couldn't find you. So You're here!"Looking at Jiang Ruxue who was shaking her head and sighing while holding a bottle of medicine in the laboratory-like room, Meng Jingtian somehow seemed to heave a sigh of relief and said.
Jiang Ruxue lifted her head when she heard the voice. Under the veil, only a pair of clear and indifferent eyes were revealed.
Calm! There was no other emotion in those eyes other than calm.
"Why are you here? I heard that you're famous in Europe. Why are you looking for me?"The corner of Jiang Ruxue's lips, which were hidden under the veil, curved slightly. Her calm tone carried an undetectable joy and lightness.
To her, that day was just because as a Chinese citizen, she had no choice but to help.
After the matter was settled, there was no need for her to stay. There was no need for her to publicize what she had done. She had to let others thank her.
Hence, she left silently.
These few days, she had also heard that Meng Jingtian was looking for her.
However, she felt that there was no need for her to have too much contact with such a person who was at the center of the conversation.
Moreover, after the incident that day, Meng Jingtian might have looked for her because of her "Sacrifice"skill.
This skill could allow Meng Jingtian to obtain even more powerful attributes and strength. Unfortunately, it was only temporary.
However, after experiencing the sweetness of obtaining powerful attributes out of thin air once, who wouldn't want to continuously possess such powerful strength?
She didn't want to become a tool or a puppet because of that skill.
However, at this moment, when she saw Meng Jingtian faintly relieved of a heavy burden when he saw her, Jiang Ruxue couldn't help but feel a little happy.
If there was someone who could mobilize the entire city to help look for her in order to see her, who wouldn't be moved in the slightest?
"HMM... it's nothing. I just wanted to thank you. If it wasn't for that skill of yours, I would have died that day! I wouldn't have been able to chase those European server players away." Meng Jingtian said.
"Oh right, they're only talking about my feat of wiping out the European server players that day. They didn't mention you. I've already explained it. But..." Meng Jingtian felt that the gloomy atmosphere was a little awkward. He had no choice but to continue to find a topic to explain.
"It's fine. I don't want to be famous anyway."Jiang Ruxue lowered her eyes again, not looking at Meng Jingtian as she said indifferently.
However, she only played with the successful potion in her hand and didn't continue to be busy. Clearly, she wasn't as calm as she appeared on the surface.
"That skill from that day..."then, there was another period of silence. Meng Jingtian didn't know Jiang Ruxue before, so he couldn't find any common topics to talk about, so he could only talk about this.
Of course, in fact, Meng Jingtian was also very curious about that skill. The effect was too f * cking heaven-defying!
Hearing his words, Jiang Ruxue was stunned. She unconsciously tightened her grip on the test tube that contained the potion, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a sneer.
HMPH! So this was the reason why she came?
"Holy Sacrifice (LV1) : Sacrifice to the target of the 'God', causing the target to temporarily receive a large amount of random enhancement effects. Lasts for 1 hour. "After casting, all attributes of the target will be reduced by 50% for 6 months. The target can pray and receive the blessing of the god.
"Cooldown time: 6 months."
Jiang Ruxue didn't say anything and directly posted the skill information to Meng Jingtian.
At the same time, she was paying attention to Meng Jingtian's expression.
Six months of cooldown time, it might not reach his expectations. Would he be disappointed?
"Six months! Attributes reduced by 50% !"Sure enough, after reading the skill description, Meng Jingtian subconsciously exclaimed.
Jiang Ruxue couldn't help but shake her head slightly. She snorted and turned around to leave.
"I owe you too much. I didn't expect this skill to sacrifice so much!"Meng Jingtian immediately said in distress, "But I'm going back to China region soon. I have nothing to compensate you for."
Jiang Ruxue stopped and turned around. She glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Compensate? Isn't your goal to obtain my 'sacrifice'again when you need it to obtain powerful attributes?"
Meng Jingtian was stunned for a moment. Then, he curled his lips and sneered, "This skill of yours has a F * cking cooldown of six months. What can you expect? I'm already awesome. There's no need to add icing on the cake."
This time, it was Jiang Ruxue's turn to be slightly stunned. Then, she couldn't help but smile so much that she bent down.
"It's not the first time I've seen such an arrogant person like you!"
When Meng Jingtian heard this, he was a little anxious and wanted to explain. He wasn't being arrogant. He was just telling the truth!
"However, you're the first person I've met who has both strength and such arrogance,"Jiang Ruxue continued without waiting for him to explain.
"Since you said that you're already awesome and don't need this skill of mine, then... What about the last time?"Seeing that Meng Jingtian didn't come for this skill, Jiang Ruxue slightly let down her guard and teased.
"..."Meng Jingtian was silent for a moment, "How can that be the same? It's like sending charcoal in the snow, not like adding icing on the cake."
"Hehe! Forget about the compensation! I'm doing this for the Chinese players, not for you alone. There's no other way, they're all mud that can't be helped. You're still like a brick, I don't have a choice!"Hearing Meng Jingtian's sophistry, jiang Ruxue covered her mouth and smiled. She waved her hand and said.
"Look, I've already thanked you. Can You Leave Now? I still have a pile of potions to make!"Jiang Ruxue crossed her arms again and said.
"Wait!"Meng Jingtian frowned and hesitated for a moment.
Then, he looked up at Jiang Ruxue and said, "Okay! I've already made a deal with Luo Tian and the others. If you need anything, feel free to ask them for help!"
"There's no need. Anyway, with my identity in the game, I can command a few npcs. It's just that after my attributes are reduced, I can't do any quests or level up. However, I can stay here and practice alchemy." 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Jiang Ruxue shook her head and refused. She was not used to asking others for help.
"Anyway, I've already greeted them. Whether you want them to help or not, it's up to you!"Meng Jingtian curled his lips and said domineeringly. Then, he turned around and left.
Jiang Ruxue was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Meng Jingtian to suddenly turn back and pull off her veil.
"What are you doing!"Jiang Ruxue immediately came back to her senses and jumped in surprise.
"Nothing! "We're already so familiar with each other. It's not too much to see what you look like, right?"Meng Jingtian shrugged. "Besides, what generation are we from? You're a Saintess in this game, so don't put yourself in too much, okay? "It won't lose a piece of flesh if people take a look at you."
"I'm too lazy to tell you!"Jiang Ruxue rolled her eyes and picked up the veil, putting it on again.
Her subconscious reaction just now was indeed a little too much, but most of it was caused by Meng Jingtian's sudden shock.
This veil was a special equipment, so she had been wearing it all along.
...
"Hehe! Beauty Jiang, if you take off the veil and go out for a walk, the so-called number one beauty in depra city will have to be replaced. Even the roll of your eyes is so flirtatious,"Meng Jingtian said with a chuckle.
Then, he turned around and left. He waved his hand and said, "I'm really leaving this time! If you have something to do, go look for Luo Tian. Don't try to be brave."
Chapter 86
In Holy Light City, as soon as Meng Jingtian arrived, the players in the city looked at him like monkeys.
After the battle in depra city, almost all the Chinese players in the European server had gone to depra city as a safe haven.
As for the other cities in the game, it was rare to see players with such obvious Chinese characteristics.
When they saw Meng Jingtian walking out of the city, two tall and skinny golden-haired men looked at each other. They looked around and pretended that they were on the same path as Meng Jingtian as they walked out of the city together.
The habit of bullying Chinese players in the past made them have thoughts of Meng Jingtian the moment they saw him.
Of course, Meng Jingtian also noticed that there was something strange about these two shifty-eyed guys, but he only glanced at them before continuing to walk out of the city. He was just secretly on guard.
Sure enough, as soon as he left the city, one of the players, 'Elken', grabbed his 'Great Sword'and swung it at Meng Jingtian. From the movement, it seemed like some sort of control skill.
Meng Jingtian was prepared beforehand. Naturally, he couldn't let Elken knock him out with this strike. He dodged it in a flash.
However, the two European server players seemed to have been partners for a long time. They worked well together. When Elken tried to control Meng Jingtian, the other Edward was already prepared to throw a skill at Meng Jingtian.
A two-meter-wide ring of fire instantly rose under Meng Jingtian's feet. Four fire dragons rose around the ring of fire, roaring as they charged at Meng Jingtian.
"-3041" 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦
"-2941"
..
Although Meng Jingtian had already left the range of the Ring of fire, the four fire dragons seemed to have locked onto him, and they crashed into him one after another.
If it was an ordinary player, after being controlled by Elken and being tricked by Edward, even if they had high HP, they would still be dead if they were attacked by the two of them.
Unfortunately, they had not opened their eyes! They had provoked someone they should not have provoked!
When Edward's skill hit Meng Jingtian, it was not painful at all. After losing 10,000 hp, Meng Jingtian's HP only dropped by more than 10% . Looking at his HP Bar, it was not much lower.
Meng Jingtian did not even use his skill. He turned around and slashed the two players to death. He muttered to himself, "How tactless!"! What a waste of my time!
As he spoke, he was about to continue towards a higher-level map outside holy light city. Little Andre walked towards the snow mountain. Holy Orchid's coordinates showed the top of the mountain.
"The Chinese player in front! May I ask if you are Meng Jingtian from depra City? Can We... can we have a good talk!"
Just as Meng Jingtian was about to find holy orchid after dealing with these two idiots, he suddenly heard the shouts of European players from Holy Light City.
Meng Jingtian turned around and saw a dense group of European players squeezed inside Holy Light City.
The person who shouted at him was a warrior player. He was already level 37, and after a few days, the highest level player in European players was only level 37. The only thing he lacked was experience.
Not everyone was like Elken and Meng jingtian, who would rob others without looking at the information.
Now that the news of Meng Jingtian's appearance in Holy Light City had spread, the players in Holy Light City were a little worried. What was this devil doing in Holy Light City?
Therefore, under the leadership of a powerful gang leader in the city, they were prepared to talk to Meng jingtian, thus forming the current situation.
"Alright then!"Seeing that so many people had come, although he didn't know what they wanted to talk about, Meng Jingtian thought about it and decided to give them some face. Therefore, he took a step back.
Unexpectedly, when he took this step, he scared all the European server players in the city to take a step back. It was as if if they were just one step closer, they would enter Meng Jingtian's attack range.
If it was just ordinary players with high levels and powerful skills, it would be fine. However, they had more people. No matter how strong a player was, their abilities were limited.
However, the person in front of them was Meng Jingtian, the god-like guy in the post!
With the video of the battle in depra city still on the forum, they did not dare to think that they were right just because they had more people.
After all, in depra city, they had already lost to this guy once.
Of course, they didn't know that it was only because Jiang Ruxue sacrificed Meng Jingtian at that time.
However, Meng Jingtian's performance in that battle was too outstanding. With a single skill wiping out a city, everyone's attention was on it. No one noticed what Jiang Ruxue did.
Although Meng Jingtian was very terrifying, in reality, he wasn't as terrifying as they thought.
Seeing that he took a step forward and actually scared the players of Holy Light City to take a step back, Meng Jingtian himself was stunned for a moment.
Following that, the corners of his mouth curled up, and like a prank, he took another step forward.
Almost subconsciously, the European server players tacitly took another step back in unison.
"Relax, I'm not here to kill."Meng Jingtian laughed and said.
He could clearly hear the European players let out a sigh of relief.
"Then what are you doing here in Holy Light City?"? "I have always yearned for the ancient and distant civilization of China. If there's a chance, we can make friends. In Holy Light City, if you have anything to say, just let me know. I promise to do it for you!" Elvis, who was the leader of the negotiation, immediately changed his attitude and said in a fawning manner.
"No need! Just don't come and give me any trouble!"
Meng Jingtian waved his hand and said. He turned around and ignored these players. It seemed that he was worried that he would do the same thing as he did in Depra City?
Unfortunately, although he wanted to, he really didn't have the strength to do it now.
They were lucky!
As for the help from the European players, he did not dare to hope for it. He could forget about other unimportant things. This holy orchid was a mission that concerned him. He could not act recklessly.
Meng Jingtian left gracefully, leaving a city of European players to let out a sigh of relief.
"I told you! I was just passing by. What are you nervous about?"
"You're not freaking nervous. Are you here now?"
"Tch! I'm really not nervous. If I were, I would have left Holy Light City with my sister in the teleportation portal just now!"
"... F * ck you! This is our territory! She was just passing by, and you were so scared that you ran away from the city. If there was a war, I would have killed you!"
"Isn't this just a game! Losing face is better than losing a level!"
Meng Jingtian waved his sleeves, not taking a cloud with him, leaving only a city of European server players discussing fervently.
...
After that, as he continued on his journey, he soon arrived at the foot of the Little Ender Snow Mountain.
Looking at the endless snow mountain, the corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched, "F * ck your Little Ender Snow Mountain, how is this F * cking small!"
However, no matter how much he complained, he had to find the quest item. If he didn't find it, he wouldn't be able to go back!
At this time, he could only brave the snow and enter the snow mountain.
'Ding! You have been eroded by the wind and cold. All attributes reduced by 5% , agility reduced by 10% !'
The moment he entered the Snow Mountain, the system notification sounded.
Chapter 87
The snow-covered mountain was so cold that it was hard to tell the direction of the boss.
Fortunately, this was a game, so they could directly track the coordinates of the map. As long as they knew the exact coordinates, it would be difficult to get lost.
An hour later, Meng Jingtian was about halfway up the mountain.
'Ding! You have been in an extremely low temperature environment for a long time. Obtained effect: Frostbite!'
Frostbite: negative effect obtained under a low temperature condition. reduces HP by 1% per minute.
After reaching this point, the level of the monsters in the vicinity also skyrocketed.
From the level 15 snow rabbit at the foot of the mountain to the level 35 snowfield deer and level 40 snow wolf that he had just passed by, he was now surrounded by level 50 snow bears.
Fortunately, because of Meng Jingtian's identity as a god, entering the high-level monster area was like entering an uninhabited land. The monsters ignored him and were even quite friendly to him.
When he encountered the cute little snow bear, he could even stop and masturbate at close range, experiencing the addiction of not being able to masturbate wild beasts in real life.
However, Meng Jingtian was not in the mood to do so at the moment.
The benefit of the frostbite was not very troublesome. What was troublesome was that because it was a 99% simulation game, he also felt extremely cold now. He shivered and struggled to move forward.
F * ck the Little Ender Snow Mountain. If he knew that this snow mountain was so big, he would have prepared a set of special equipment to protect himself from the cold.
Just as Meng Jingtian was struggling to climb the mountain, another figure wrapped in a white bear fur coat was also climbing up the mountain.
He did not have the status of a God like Meng Jingtian, but he seemed to have some kind of hidden class. When he encountered a group of high-level monsters, he used an invisibility skill to completely cover his tracks and safely passed through.
"Holy orchid!"The two arrived at this place at almost the same time, less than a hundred meters away from the peak of the snow mountain.
A crystal-like ice flower, which looked like a hanging orchid, swayed slightly in the whistling wind and snow, dazzling.
As expected of a rare flower that even the flower god was fascinated by. This beauty was really not to be underestimated!
Without thinking, Meng Jingtian reached out his hand and collected it.
At the same time, a white human figure appeared and stretched out his hand towards the holy orchid.
"Let Go!"
"Let Go!"
The two of them grabbed the holy orchid at the same time. However, because the holy orchid looked very fragile, they did not dare to pull it forcefully. They only glared at each other and shouted.
Meng Jingtian looked at this person's information in anger. Where did Cheng Yaojin come from.
"Xiao Sheng:
Level:
Race: Human
Identity: Apostle of the Wind God shrine
Talent: Wind Body (agility + 8%)
Class: Gale Assassin."
"If you don't let go now, Don't blame me for Taking Action!"Meng Jingtian threatened.
However, before Xiao Sheng could reply, the ground shook and a huge snow giant crawled out from under the Snow Mountain.
Snow Devil Spirit (god-tier BOSS) : a creature from the magical realm that sleeps under the snow mountain. Violent and ferocious, but loves beautiful flowers.
Level:
HP: 20,000,0
Skills: Devil Spirit Wrath, Summon Snow Chief, Snow Flower..
"Who is it! How Dare You Covet My Treasure!"The BOSS roared angrily as soon as it came out.
Meng Jingtian and Xiao Sheng let go of the boss almost at the same time. They pointed at the boss and said, "It's him!"
This level 50 celestial tier BOSS was definitely not easy to deal with. It would be best to let the BOSS lure them away.
Even Meng Jingtian had only killed level 50 yellow-gold bosses before. The HP of this celestial tier BOSS was too f * cking thick. It would take him half a day to kill it even if he stood still!
Unfortunately, the snow demon spirit that was blinded by its anger did not care so much. It waved its fists that were bigger than the heads of the two of them. Each of them threw a punch at Meng Jingtian.
This snow demon spirit was a creature from the demonic realm. Just like the sky demon, its friendliness towards Meng Jingtian was 0!
"Golden light of Soaring Earth!"Meng Jingtian dodged with a skill and thought to himself, F * ck! He knew that the quest of the demon god was not that simple. Now, was he going to solo a god-tier BOSS?
"Eh?"Just as he was about to try the BOSS, Meng Jingtian was surprised to find that the guy who fought with him for the flower had not died yet?
He was only a little surprised, but he recovered his composure. It made sense. To be able to pass through the current stage of the high-level wild monster zone and come here, his strength was probably not ordinary.
Xiao Sheng's face was very solemn. He was only level 37, and the difference between him and the snow demon spirit was too great. It seemed that he would not be able to get the holy orchid today.
It was a pity that he had to complete that quest. Otherwise, he would have been able to obtain a set of god-tier potions!
Xiao Sheng let out a long sigh. He cast a deceleration skill on the snow demon spirit and ran down the snow mountain by himself.
Meng Jingtian curled the corners of his mouth and gave a disdainful smile. He picked up the stupa blade and went forward to slash at the snow demon spirit.
"-10,784"
"-6,666"
Two damage figures appeared. One was the one that Meng Jingtian used to slash the snow demon spirit, and the other was the one that the snow demon spirit used to slash him.
"Hiss!"Meng Jingtian sucked in a breath of cold air. He was a little hesitant. As expected of a god-tier BOSS, its damage and defense were both very high!
With a slash of his blade, he actually only managed to cut off 10,000 of its HP.
...
What he did not expect was that not only did the snow spirit have high damage, but its attack speed was also very fast!
While Meng Jingtian was hesitating, the snow spirit pounded another fist on his body, hammering him into the snow like a stake.
"-12074."What was even more speechless was that this general attack actually had a critical hit.
"You win!"Meng Jingtian climbed out of the snow and ran down the mountain.
In this snowy mountain, there were too many stacked negative attributes. Moreover, the damage of this god-tier BOSS was too high. It would be impossible to kill it alone.
The heavenly dharma might be able to withstand it for a while, but ten minutes was not enough for Meng Jingtian to kill the Snow Demon Spirit.
Unless he found a powerful meat shield that could hold the snow demon spirit back, then he could still give it a try.
It seemed that he still needed to delay some time. He would go back and get reinforcements, and Luo Tian would find a player that could tank monsters to help him.
Just as he was planning this, Meng Jingtian inadvertently glanced at the snow demon spirit chasing behind him. He found that the snow demon spirit was still under the deceleration effect of the player that had snatched the flower from him, and its speed was very slow.
Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes and stopped in his tracks. He shouted at Xiao Sheng, who was running like the wind, "Wait! Brother, how much is this speed reduction? How long does it last?"
At this stage of the game, players did not have many crowd control skills. Things like immobilization and freezing would only last for a few seconds. It would not be of much use against bosses.
...
Moreover, many bosses would not be affected by crowd control skills like immobilization, stun, and freezing.
The Snow Devil Spirit did not know, but it seemed that it could be slowed down, which made Meng Jingtian think of something.
Could he try the game's classic monster fighting technique, "Profound kite technique"? 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝘮
"What does it have to do with you?"Xiao Sheng rolled her eyes and asked in return.
"Are you interested in killing this BOSS together?"Meng Jingtian did not mind and smiled with narrowed eyes.
In the face of benefits, he was still very magnanimous. He did not mind Xiao Sheng's little verbal offense.
"Are you F * cking crazy? This is a level 50 god-tier BOSS!"Xiao Sheng could not help but stop in his tracks and exclaimed.
Chapter 88
"AH? It seems that you don't dare! Forget it then! At worst, I'll just go down the mountain and find a random person and make another trip,"Meng Jingtian said calmly.
"Who says that I don't dare! Do you think that anyone can come here?"Xiao Sheng clenched his fists and said angrily.
Meng Jingtian just looked at him with a smile and stopped walking. He pointed at the snow devil spirit who was chasing after him slowly and said, "Please!"
Xiao Sheng was stunned. He immediately reacted and said angrily, "You F * cking provoked me!"
"I'm just telling the truth. If you don't dare, it's not that I can't find him. It's just that this is a huge snow mountain. The wind and snow are fierce. It's not easy to come here. It's inevitable that it'll take more time to make another trip,"Meng Jingtian said with a slightly serious expression, he said seriously.
Xiao Sheng did not answer. He frowned and fell into deep thought. He also opened up Meng Jingtian's information to take a look.
If they wanted to fight the BOSS together, they had to get to know their teammates First! If they met a pig-like teammate who overestimated himself, if he made this choice, he would probably be buried with them.
"Meng Jingtian! You are the Meng Jingtian that has been making a lot of noise recently!"When Xiao Sheng saw this, he was immediately surprised.
"TSK! Since you are Meng jingtian, why can't you even fight a level 50 god-tier BOSS alone? It can't be that it's just the same name, right?"Then.., this kid rolled his eyes. He hated Meng Jingtian for provoking him just now, so he deliberately teased him.
Meng Jingtian's eyebrows jumped. This kid was very naughty!
"I'm Meng Jingtian, but I'm just a player. I'm only five levels higher than you. So, in that case, you should be able to casually solo a level 50 yellow-gold BOSS, right?"
"You're really confident!"Xiao Sheng pursed his lips and ended the mutual damage between the two. With the BOSS in front, it was more important to fight the monster.
"80-90% ! Let's see how your speed reduction skills are."Meng Jingtian frowned and answered seriously.
"Good! Since you say so, then it's a sure thing!"Xiao Sheng said confidently.
"Each of my skills has a speed reduction effect. One of my skills has a 90% reduction in speed, and the other two skills have a 60% reduction in speed for 5 seconds and 12 seconds respectively. The cooldown time is not long, and there is no reduction in speed. It can be controlled consecutively."
"Furthermore, each general attack has a 50% speed reduction effect. This effect lasts for 3 seconds. It can be used as a supplement to increase the error tolerance rate."
Xiao Sheng gave a simple introduction of his skills. Meng Jingtian was speechless when he heard this. Each of his skills had a speed reduction effect. Even his general attacks had a speed reduction effect?
If any player was targeted, they would definitely feel disgusted. They would feel as if they were stuck in candy after taking two steps.
Xiao Sheng, on the other hand, could use this ability to come and go as he pleased. If he could win, he would fight. If he couldn't, he would run.
There were only two ways to counter him. One was to use his attributes to crush him like Meng Jingtian did, and the other was to kill him instantly.
The other way was that since there was such a disgusting control class like Xiao Sheng in the game, there must be other even more disgusting classes that couldn't be controlled.
Xiao Sheng did not know that Meng Jingtian had already thought of what would happen if he used it to deal with players after just a simple introduction of his skills.
After introducing his skills, he continued, "Blame me for being able to control it well. As for the damage output, that's up to you! Even if it's not as terrifying as those people on the forum said, I hope you won't disappoint me."
"Of course, let's Go!"Meng Jingtian nodded confidently and pointed at the snow demon spirit.
Xiao Sheng took a look and saw that the speed reduction effect on the BOSS had disappeared. It was now chasing after the two of them. Its speed was actually much faster than Meng Jingtian's and Xiao Sheng's speed in the snow mountain.
Thus, it took an arrow step forward and added another speed reduction to the snow demon spirit.
Xiao Sheng was an assassin, after all. He was a melee attacker, and had already entered the snow demon spirit's attack range.
The Snow Demon Spirit raised its giant palm, preparing to strike Xiao Sheng.
Xiao Sheng's speed was not any slower than Xiao Sheng's, and he dodged with a skill.
However, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly paused and shouted at Meng jingtian, "No, how should we split the spoils?"
"-15,742."Just as he was distracted, the Snow Devil Spirit landed a general attack on him. It did not deal a critical hit, but instead, it dealt a much higher damage than the Snow Devil Spirit's attack on Meng Jingtian.
Xiao Sheng was an assassin, and his body was very fragile. This 10,000 hp was almost one-third of his HP. In an instant, a large portion of his HP bar disappeared.
Meng Jingtian was a little angry. He did not expect this guy to make such a low-level mistake.
Now, the two of them were the ones fighting the monsters. If Xiao Sheng died, Meng Jingtian's efforts would be in vain. All his efforts would be for naught.
"+ 29,441″Meng Jingtian casually threw him a divine recovery spell and said in a deep voice, "Be more serious! I want the Holy Orchid. This is not negotiable. As for the other items that the BOSS drops, it's up to you!"
The sudden disappearance of a large chunk of his health bar also shocked Xiao Sheng. Seeing that Meng Jingtian had healed him with a skill, he still had some lingering fear in his heart.
At that moment, he did not dare to be distracted anymore and began to fight seriously.
He did not answer Meng Jingtian either. It could be considered that he had tacitly agreed to this distribution plan.
In fact, other than increasing the speed reduction by getting closer to the BOSS, Xiao Sheng would basically play along with the BOSS for the rest of the time.
On the other hand, Meng Jingtian was using the long-range skills God's punishment and burning sky fire to deplete the BOSS'hp.
His damage was too high. The Snow Devil Spirit, which had zero friendliness towards him, had been chasing after him ever since he attacked. If it was a close-range attack, there was no way to dodge the BOSS'general attack while attacking.
Fortunately, Xiao Sheng's speed reduction effect was really powerful. The BOSS was like it was stuck in quicksand and could not catch up to Meng Jingtian at all.
The two of them fought as they walked, successfully kiting this seemingly awesome celestial BOSS.
The Boss'hp was steadily decreasing. It only used long-range skills to attack, which could be considered to have slowed down Meng Jingtian's progress in fighting the BOSS.
After almost ten minutes, the BOSS'hp had only decreased to 70% .
When Xiao Sheng saw that the BOSS'hp had decreased by another ten percent, he consciously distanced himself from the BOSS.
As it was a god-tier BOSS, the two of them were very cautious. Almost every time the BOSS'hp dropped by 10% , they were prepared to receive the BOSS'skills.
However, the BOSS did not use its skills when it had 90% and 80% of its HP.
"Summon Snow Chief!"At this time, the BOSS'hp had dropped to 70% , but it did use a skill.
The snow demon spirit stopped chasing and violently slammed the snow-covered ground of the snow mountain. A Loud Rumble shook the sky and Earth.
"F * ck! Does it have to be so heaven-defying!"Looking at the miniaturized versions of the snow demon spirit that emerged from the snow pile, Meng Jingtian could not help but swallow his saliva and exclaimed.
Even though he knew that the snow demon spirit's skill was probably to summon monsters, he did not think that it would summon so many!
Meng Jingtian thought that it would only summon two or three at most. However, the reality before his eyes was that the snow demon spirit had summoned a total of fifteen snow chief monsters!
... 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Each of these snow chief monsters had 1,500,000 hp, and they were all level 50!
Chapter 89
Without any hesitation, Meng Jingtian activated his heavenly form the moment these small monsters appeared. A giant that was a few times larger than the snow devil spirit appeared on the Snow Mountain.
Following that, he threw another burning sky flame, attracting all the small monsters over. He picked up stupa and started to attack randomly.
After all, it was a god-tier BOSS, and it was just two people pushing it. Any mistake could wipe out the entire team.
Meng Jingtian did not dare to let these small monsters go. He cleared them out as quickly as possible.
With the blessing of the Dharma Heaven and earth, coupled with the continuous damage from the sky-burning fire, Meng Jingtian basically killed one small monster with two strikes. After more than half a minute, the group of small monsters were all killed.
At this moment, even though they were slowed down, the snow demon spirit still caught up and waved at Meng Jingtian with a general attack.
"-694″however, the damage from the snow demon spirit was nothing to be afraid of when it hit Meng Jingtian in heavenly transformation.
Meng Jingtian did not Dodge or dodge anymore. He withstood the attacks of the snow demon spirit and fought against it. After the cooldown was over, he used two more skills and attacked with all his might.
Under the state of Heaven and earth, Meng Jingtian had over 700,000 hp. He could completely take on the snow demon spirit head-on. He was more stable than any meat shield.
The only problem was that the first level of heaven and earth only lasted for ten minutes. The cooldown time was half an hour. Meng Jingtian was unable to kill a god-tier BOSS with over 20,000,000 hp within this time.
"666!"Xiao Sheng, who had been panicking because of the appearance of the small monsters, suddenly stopped. He stood aside and watched Meng Jingtian and the Snow Demon Spirit fight.
Meng Jingtian's eyebrows jumped. "What the hell are you watching? Come and attack! No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat!"
"Wow, this is just like Meng Jingtian on the Forum! You could have fought the Boss one-on-one, but why were you hiding it just now? You almost made your legs cramp from running,"Xiao Sheng followed his instructions and attacked, however, he grumbled unhappily.
"Ten minutes..."Meng Jingtian glanced at him and explained.
"60% ... 50% ... 40% ... 30% ..."
Under the state of Meng Jingtian's Heaven and Earth, the BOSS'hp rapidly decreased. After 50% , he would release a skill for every 10% of his HP.
When the BOSS'hp fell to 30% , the duration of Meng Jingtian's heaven and Earth skill was up.
"He's gone, he's gone!"At the last second of the heaven's will skill's duration, Meng Jingtian turned around and ran.
His body returned to its original size in an instant.
Xiao Sheng was stunned. After all, Meng Jingtian had been carrying the monster just now. His DPS was too good. He didn't need to worry about anything. At most, he would just hide a little further away when the BOSS'hp reached the critical point of tens of percent.
The only thing that was not satisfactory was that his DPS was too low. He was clearly doing his best to deal damage, but the damage he dealt was as if he was drawing water.
At this moment, Xiao Sheng could not help but sigh. This god-tier Boss's defense was really high. Meng Jingtian was indeed as powerful as the forum had said. Under his hands, a god-tier BOSS was like fighting an ordinary gold-tier BOSS.
Even though he was already convinced in his heart, he still did not show it on the surface.
At this moment, seeing that Meng Jingtian had run away, Xiao Sheng came back to his senses and quickly closed in on the BOSS. He used a skill that reduced his movement speed for 12 seconds and followed behind the BOSS to draw water.
The Boss'hp was 20% !
"Demon Spirit Rage!"The Snow Demon Spirit roared. An ice dragon spine emerged from the ground on the snowy ground and snaked towards Meng Jingtian.
Meng Jingtian had long had experience dealing with this skill, so he quickly dodged to the side.
At the spot where he was standing, there was a loud sound, and ice and snow flew everywhere, creating a big hole.
"God's punishment!"Seeing that the BOSS only had a little more than 10% hp left, Meng Jingtian's expression became even more serious, and he threw the skill at the BOSS at a steady pace.
The Boss had 10% hp!
"Snowflake!"The snow demon spirit paused for a moment again and cast the skill.
It had not used this skill before, so Meng Jingtian had no experience in fighting it.
The BOSS made a series of movements to cast the skill, but there seemed to be no changes in the surroundings.
Meng Jingtian turned his head and looked around, frowning.
Bug?
No, in fact, after playing for so long, Meng Jingtian had not seen any other bugs other than knowing that he might be a BUG.
Just as he was wondering, he felt a sense of danger. Meng Jingtian looked down and saw a crystal-clear ice flower solidifying under his feet on the snowy ground.
Meng Jingtian was shocked and quickly jumped away with a golden light.
Unfortunately, just as he landed on the ground, the ice flower under his feet appeared again, and it had already formed.
Meng Jingtian cried out in his heart. During the fight with the BOSS just now, the black tortoise true body had already been used to resist the other skills of the BOSS. At this moment, it seemed that there was no way to save his life.
As for the skills of a god-tier BOSS, Meng Jingtian did not dare to underestimate its power. It was definitely much more powerful than the skills of a yellow-gold BOSS!
"-65,041."Sure enough, a damage that could instantly kill most of the current players came out from Meng Jingtian's body.
Looking at the little hp left, Meng Jingtian let out a sigh of relief. It was good that he was not instantly killed.
Just as he was about to cast divine recovery on himself, he was shocked to find that his HP had increased by more than half.
"What the hell?"Meng Jingtian was puzzled. He flipped through the battle log and realized that he had triggered the dice of destiny and restored 40% of his HP.
"Roar!"At this moment, the Snow Devil Spirit roared and caught up with him. It swung its palm at Meng Jingtian.
"Xiao Sheng, what the F * ck..."Meng Jingtian came back to his senses and was just about to see if this brat had been slacking off again. He swept his gaze around, but he did not see his figure, not far away, an ice flower that had taken shape bloomed and shattered into pieces before falling to the ground.
"Dead?"The corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched as he looked at the snow devil spirit that was charging towards him. He used divine recovery to heal himself up and started fighting with the snow devil spirit that only had 10% of its HP remaining.
"Ding! Congratulations! You have killed the god-tier BOSS 'Snow Demon Spirit'!"
"Ding! System announcement: Congratulations player Meng Jingtian for being the first to kill the god-tier BOSS 'Snow Demon Spirit'. Reward: 100,000 gold coins and one random pet egg."
"Ding! System announcement: the PET system has been activated. There is a chance that a BOSS of gold-tier and above will drop a pet egg of the same tier."
The Snow Demon Spirit turned into a ray of colorful light and exploded, dropping all the items on the ground.
Meng Jingtian stood on the small slope filled with snow with his saber, but he was a little speechless.
...
Right below the small slope in front of him was a snow valley. The valley was full of Holy Orchids!
The items dropped by the Snow Demon Spirit were all picked up by the forgotten ring. Meng Jingtian also took his stunned gaze back from the Snow Valley and began to count his spoils of war.
First of all, the highest leveled item was a skill book.
Snow flower lvl 1(God-tier) : a simplified version of the divine ability, flower blossom. After it is released, within the attack range, the enemy's target will summon a lotus of ice and snow under their feet. After three seconds, the lotus will bloom, deals 250% frost damage to all spells.
Cooldown time: 20 minutes.
Chapter 90
Although the skill description did not mention it, Meng Jingtian, who had eaten this skill before, knew very well that it was a lock-on skill!
Moreover, it was an AOE skill!
A 250% damage bonus was already very abnormal for an AOE skill.
If this skill was not an AOE skill, its damage would still be slightly lower than a single-target skill of the same level. Meng Jingtian was afraid that he would have been instantly killed by the Snow Demon Spirit's move. At this moment, he felt somewhat fortunate.
Meng Jingtian paused for a moment, waiting for Xiao Sheng to contact him. After all, this BOSS was fought by two people at the same time.
However, Xiao Sheng did not contact him. Meng Jingtian sent a message to inquire, but found that the other party had already gone offline.
"This kid..."Meng Jingtian was a little speechless. Could it be that he thought that if he died, this BOSS would not be able to be defeated?
After hesitating for a moment, Meng Jingtian still learned this skill.
Then, he counted the next rewards.
The second god-tier item.
Snow Demon Armor (God-tier) : the armor forged by the snow demon spirit gathering the essence of ice and snow. Powerful defense.
Attributes: defense + 800, Strength + 10, Constitution +
Passive: when the enemy target deals more than 5% of your HP in a single attack, the target will be frozen. Lasts for 1 second. can be triggered once every 5 seconds.
Meng Jingtian frowned and hesitated. In the end, he decided to change into the armor.
The god-tier armor was much higher level than the black tortoise armor, and its attributes were also much better. However, Meng Jingtian was still reluctant to part with the invincible skill that came with the black tortoise armor, even though it was only for 1 second..
However, in the end, for the sake of the 650 defense and 10 strength points, Meng Jingtian still changed out of the Black Tortoise armor.
The passive effect of the snow demon armor was not bad. Compared to the black tortoise armor's one-second invincibility, this passive effect was a little more offensive as well as defensive. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝙢
As for the rest of the items, it was another guild formation token, two orange equipment, and one purple equipment.
Meng Jingtian did not have much use for them, so he prepared to send them to Xiao Sheng. After all, he had put in a lot of effort.
When he saw the gray egg with the illusory question mark in his backpack, Meng Jingtian was a little surprised. This thing also dropped?
It wasn't until he saw the system notification record that he came back to his senses. So it was a reward!
When the system notification just now, his mind just happened to wander.
The holy orchids that he and Xiao Sheng had fought over were as many as an entire valley.
If he had come to this valley right from the start, would he have alerted the Snow Devil Spirit?
Meng Jingtian took out the pet egg that was marked as unknown. He thought it would not be too big, but..
The grayish-brown giant egg stood on the snowy ground in front of Meng Jingtian, taller than the others.
"How do I hatch this thing?"Meng Jingtian muttered as he circled the giant egg with his hands behind his back.
"Ding! Are you sure you want to hatch an unknown pet egg? You will receive a random pet."
"That simple?"Meng Jingtian was shocked by the sudden notification.
Well, this was just a game. He couldn't just slowly hatch it like a hen hatching an egg, right?
"Hatch!"Meng Jingtian immediately confirmed. He was also curious about what this unknown pet egg would hatch into.
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained a rank-less pet "Source"!"
"PFFT!"Meng Jingtian watched the huge egg disappear before his eyes. Nothing appeared. When he heard the system notification again, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Where's My Dragon? Where's My Phoenix? Even if it's not good enough, I can give you an old black tortoise, right? What the hell is this rank-less pet "Source"!"Meng Jingtian paced around crazily.
"System, I greet your ancestors for eight generations. This is the first pet in the game! You have to give me a better one, right?"Meng Jingtian's strong confidence in his luck had suffered a blow.
Could it be that after reincarnating as a god, his luck had returned to the level of the "African chief"?
After a series of complaints, Meng Jingtian could only accept this fact. He looked around and said, "Come on! Let me see how much trash this rank-less pet of yours can be!"
Until now, Yuan had not shown up in front of Meng Jingtian!
Meng Jingtian wondered if he had hatched a fake pet egg. The system notification was just an illusion, right?
Fortunately, at this moment, Meng Jingtian felt something tugging at his pants leg. He looked down and saw a jelly-like transparent thing gradually revealing itself.
"Oh! That's a slime, right?"Meng Jingtian had already been dealt a heavy blow. Seeing this guy's shabby look, his expression was very calm. He said calmly.
"I'm not a slime! I'm Yuan!"who knew that "Jelly", no, Yuan actually opened his mouth to talk to Meng Jingtian.
Meng Jingtian was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips. Nowadays, in virtual reality games, there were many applications for such AI. It was not a big deal for this little pet to be able to talk to him.
It was just that he did not know how high its intelligence was. Generally speaking, the higher its intelligence was, the more precious it should be.
However, looking at this jelly-like thing, Meng Jingtian had no interest in exploring its upper limit of intelligence. He just casually opened its information to check it out.
Source (no rank) : an unknown creature with a mysterious origin. Can not be evaluated by world rank.
Level:
Attributes:
Strength:
Agility:
Constitution:
Spirit:
Source Power: ...
Skills:
Evolution LVL 1: can change into any known creature form, obtaining 100% of the ability of the current evolved creature. Duration: 8 .
Cooldown time: 3 days.
Stealth LVL 1: hide in the void, immune to 100% spell damage and physical damage. Duration: 8 . Drops out of the void when dealing damage.
Cooldown: 1 hour.
A Level 1 source with only two skills. Meng Jingtian's expression froze.
"No Way? Is this really not a system BUG? Tell me! What the F * ck is 8 ? !"
It was only Level 1, and all of his basic attributes were full at the beginning. It was exactly the same as when he was born as a god, but the special source value was still unlimited. This was F * cking against the rules, right?
"You are indeed not a slime!"Meng Jingtian looked at the transparent jelly with a strange expression for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say.
"I don't want to explain it to a low-iq species for a second time!"Yuan was very proud, and turned around to say.
Don't ask Meng Jingtian how he saw a pile of jelly turn around, his eyes turned to the other side!
...
"You... didn't you evolve? It's better to evolve into something else!"Meng Jingtian couldn't treat the jelly as his little pet and ordered.
"Well, the Snow Devil Spirit just now!"
"Since you're my master, I reluctantly accept your suggestion,"yuan glanced at Meng Jingtian and answered unwillingly.
Following that, the transparent jelly twisted and a miniature version of the Snow Demon Spirit appeared.
"The snow demon spirit is too weak! It really disdains appearing in such a manner!"Yuan said indignantly even though it had evolved.
As a celestial BOSS, the level 1 snow demon spirit only had 10 points of strength and constitution at the beginning. Its other attributes were around 7-8 points.
Chapter 91
"It's better than a slime!"Meng Jingtian said as he curled his lips and rubbed Yuan's snow-white fur.
HMM, as expected, it was much more pleasing to the eye.
It seemed like it could really change! Except that it wasn't as big as the Snow Devil Spirit, everything else was the same.
Moreover, the reason why it was too small was probably because Yuan was only level one.
What should he change it into next time? A dragon! It would also allow him to get over his addiction to using divine beasts as pets.
Next Time..
Meng Jingtian, who had despised Yuan a moment ago, had already begun to imagine himself in the future, bringing Yuan to dominate the game and turn the world upside down.
"The Snow Demon Spirit clan under the Snow Mountain is about to awaken. If you don't want to die, it's better to leave this place as soon as possible!"
Just as Meng Jingtian was immersed in his own joy, Yuan suddenly interrupted him.
"Snow demon spirit... Clan!"Meng Jingtian was shocked. No Way? This god-tier BOSS was not just one, but an entire clan?
This was too unconventional. It was too against the rules, wasn't it?
"How do you know?"Meng Jingtian frowned and asked Yuan.
"I just know. Believe it or Not!"Yuan Yi hugged his two arms with long white hair and turned his head.
"I believe it! Who asked you to be my beloved pet! Of course I believe it!"Meng Jingtian paused and his attitude suddenly changed. He hugged Yuan and said with a smile. He ran into the Snow Valley, picked two holy orchids, put them into his backpack, and ran down the Little Ender Snow Mountain.
"You better stop laughing, I'm Scared!"Yuan shrunk his neck and said.
Meng Jingtian laughed out loud. He was in a good mood. He ignored Yuan's complaints and ran down the snow mountain.
When he got the quest item, he also killed a god-tier BOSS. He also picked up a pet that he thought was trash, but in fact, there were some awesome pets. It was not good to be in a bad mood!
Rumble!
A muffled sound shook the sky. Just as Meng Jingtian was running away, a magnificent snow mist flew into the air. Layers of snow collapsed and rushed down the mountain like a flood.
Amidst the muffled sound, another roar was heard. It was almost the same as the roar of the god-tier BOSS, the Snow Devil Spirit.
As expected, "Tomorrow"could not be judged by common sense. F * ck, all god-tier bosses lived in the same nest. If not for Yuan's reminder today, he might have been killed as well.
Meng Jingtian sprinted all the way, the avalanche chasing behind him very quickly. He knew that in reality, under such a situation, he should run horizontally and find cover. But now, he was in the game, behind the flying snow.., it was the god-tier BOSS Snow Demon Spirit. He just wanted to reach the foot of the mountain as soon as possible.
He was anxious and ran too fast. However, he tripped and rolled down the mountain.
"Bang!"With a muffled sound, more than half of Meng Jingtian's health bar fell. However, he had already arrived at the foot of the mountain. The white snow that had condensed on his body was scattered. He was temporarily safe.
"Haha! Why didn't I think of this earlier? It's still faster this way!"Meng Jingtian got up from the ground and casually threw a divine recovery spell at himself. He laughed and said.
"Idiot!"Yuan rolled down with the snowball and fell to the ground. He shook his head to get rid of the snow on his body and said to Meng Jingtian unhappily.
It was not good enough for him to roll down, but he had to drag yuan along with him. It was too unkind!
In any case, Yuan was not afraid of those snow demon spirits. He was the Snow Demon Spirit Now!
Meng Jingtian did not mind. He smiled, grabbed Yuan under his arm, and walked in the direction of Holy Light City.
"Put me down! I'll walk on my own!"Yuan shook his arm and struggled.
"You Little Thing, can you keep up?"Meng Jingtian glanced at it and said.
"Humph!"Yuan crossed his arms and turned his head away angrily.
"Okay, okay! As You Wish!"Meng Jingtian saw that this guy's personality was like a child, so he unconsciously indulged it and put it down.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he put it down, Yuan disappeared.
Meng Jingtian was stunned for a moment and found it in the pet space.
Then, he smiled bitterly and touched his nose. How could he have forgotten that there was such a thing as a pet space.
Alright, he had been stupid.
Meng Jingtian passed by Holy Light City and sent some equipment and a holy orchid that the snow devil spirit dropped to Xiao Sheng. Then, he took the teleportation portal to go to Shadow City.
After he left, the players of Holy Light City looked at the snow-covered, boiling little andre snow mountain and discussed.
Without a doubt, this became a topic that the players were talking about and speculating about in the European server forum.
Meng Jingtian did not return to depra city. He only sent a private message to Luo Tian to bid farewell.
Players who had not opened a border could not send private messages directly.
Therefore, it would probably be a long time before they could see each other again.
Shadow City was one of the main cities that worshipped the demon god. There was a huge demon god temple right in the center of the city.
The overall color of the darkness made the atmosphere of the entire city very depressing. However, there were still players coming and going on the streets. Just like players from other cities, they were chatting and laughing, they had invited them to go level up and grind dungeons together.
To them, this was just a game. No matter how real it felt, they were used to it.
In the Demonic God's temple, there were a few players worshipping.
Until now, no player had received the blessing of the main god. These few probably didn't believe it.
"Little Rabbit, be good. Open the door. I want to come back..."Meng Jingtian was in a great mood. He hummed a song that was out of tune as he walked into the temple. The players who were worshipping him turned their heads to look at him in shock. Where did this weirdo come from?
"Hey! Open the door!"Walking under the statue, Meng Jingtian placed his hands on his waist as he looked up at the tall demon god statue and shouted.
"..."
"Could this person be an idiot? Didn't he hear that three days ago, charas was disrespectful to the statue and was cast with divine punishment. All His attributes were reduced by 10% . Now, he's still looking for the shrine to worship him in order to get the blessing and remove the buff!"
"I saw on the forum that this is a folk recipe from China. However, ever since charas was struck by the Demon God's divine punishment, he can't even get the blessing of a level 3 lesser god. I wonder if it's true."
...
A few players who worshipped the statue whispered among themselves as they pointed at Meng Jingtian.
At this moment, a black smoke suddenly appeared in front of Meng jingtian, turning into an illusory door with a black border.
Meng Jingtian swaggered into the door.
The two people who had been discussing him were stunned. They wanted to rush into the door to take a look, but the door had already disappeared, causing them to crash into the statue.
"Ding! The Demon God has used divine punishment on you for disrespecting the gods!"
A system notification sounded. The few players were instantly sent back to the resurrection point by a white lightning bolt that descended from the sky. Moreover, they had obtained a God forsaken debuff!
Divine punishment could be said to be a god's universal skill.
"How is it? Did you get Holy Orchid Back?"In the Divine Temple of the demonic god in the Heavenly God's College, the handsome demonic God could not wait to ask Meng Jingtian while rubbing his hands together.
Chapter 92
"Nonsense! Brother Tian made a move, how could there be a mistake?"Meng Jingtian raised his eyebrows slightly and took out the quest item "Holy orchid".
"Ding! Congratulations, you have completed the Quest!"
"Ding! Congratulations, you have leveled up!"
"Ding! You have obtained the god-tier skill "Divine illusion"!"
Demon God snatched the holy orchid and stuffed a black leather cover skill book into his pocket. Meng Jingtian immediately heard a series of system notifications.
Ever since he went to the European server, he had killed quite a number of players. He had also cleared a few dungeons and fought a god-ranked BOSS.
Unfortunately, the exp he gained from killing players was too little compared to killing monsters. Moreover, the dungeon that he had cleared with Luo Tian and the others was too low-leveled for him, so he did not have much exp.
The EXP he gained from killing the god-ranked BOSS was not bad. Now that he had handed in the Demon God's quest, the EXP he gained from the quest had finally allowed him to level up.
After reaching level 40, it was getting harder and harder to level up.
"F * ck! So what if he can teleport?"After receiving the Holy Orchid, the Demon God teleported and disappeared in front of Meng Jingtian, leaving him in the Demon God's temple.
Meng Jingtian complained speechlessly. He knew where the Demon God had gone, so he had no choice but to leave the Demon God's temple by himself.
But this place... was the school of gods.
Not long after he left the Devil God's temple, he met a god of the western God System who was covered in holy light and so dazzling that people could not open their eyes.
This god's body was very huge. Other than the holy light that covered his entire body, his aura was also very unique and holy. How should I put it... he was full of the aura of a hypocrite!
Bader (God of Light) :
Level: 1
Race: Protoss
Attributes: ? ? ?
Skills: ? ? ?
Meng Jingtian looked at the information of this god that was blocking his path. He was so shocked that his mouth was agape. What the F * ck... his luck couldn't be that good, right?
The god of light seemed to be one of the main gods of the western God system!
"Someone from the Heavenly God Palace?"The God of light stared at Meng Jingtian and frowned.
"HMPH! What are those old fellows from the Heavenly Dao divine palace scheming? They actually sent a little god like you to infiltrate Our Heavenly Dao divine palace. They really don't put the Heavenly Dao divine palace in their eyes!"
"You've misunderstood. Listen to me, things aren't like this!"Seeing the god of light so angry, Meng Jingtian was shocked. He secretly cursed the Demon God a thousand times.
This ingrate, I've taught you how to Chase Girls, and this is how you treat me?
But at this moment, he could only hurriedly explain to the god of light. He didn't want to be slapped to death by this fellow!
But the god of light wasn't in the mood to listen to his explanation. The eastern and western divine systems had been incompatible for a long time, and a small God like Meng Jingtian was naturally not in his eyes.
Therefore, at this moment, a blinding ray of light shot towards Meng Jingtian. Meng Jingtian wanted to use the golden light to dodge, but he realized that this was a lock-on skill!
This god of light was prepared to take his life the moment he made his move. It was not a casual attack like the previous demon god.
"-0"
Just as Meng Jingtian could not help but close his eyes and wait for his first death to come, the blinding white light hit his body. Unexpectedly, only a damage of zero appeared.
"Damn it! Aren't you... You're those guys who just came in!"At this time, the god of Light's expression suddenly changed, and he questioned Meng Jingtian in shock and anger.
The originally golden clouds gathered in the peaceful sky of the Heavenly Divinity School, and a blue-purple vortex suddenly appeared. It was as if a deep eye suddenly opened, and a dark purple thunderbolt fell on the god of Light's body, and he immediately let out a miserable cry, he actually fell to the ground.
Meng Jingtian had come into contact with these late-stage big bosses in the game because of his special identity.
According to the game's progress, now was not the time for them to come out and directly kill players at the current stage. It was against the game's system rules!
The last time the demon God attacked Meng Jingtian, it was thanks to his good luck. It was just a casual attack and did not hit Meng Jingtian. Otherwise, he would have ended up like this.
Meng Jingtian didn't know this, so he hurriedly explained just now. But now, seeing the scene in front of him, he was dumbfounded. What was going on?
"I didn't do it on purpose!"Meng Jingtian stuttered and subconsciously waved his hand.
Although it was the god of light who attacked him, now it seemed that the god of light was in a miserable state. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"ER... No! Although I didn't do it on purpose, you deserve it! Have you learned your lesson?"Meng Jingtian came back to his senses. He didn't cause the god of light to be in such a miserable state, so why should he apologize?
This guy deserved it!
Although he didn't know why, after seeing that the god of light couldn't hurt him, Meng Jingtian straightened his back and walked around the god of light with his hands behind his back, he shook his head, sighed, and left after giving him some advice.
"Damn it! I'm so angry! If it wasn't for..."the god of light looked up at the sky with respect and helplessness. He glared at Meng Jingtian's back as he left.
"Why can't the god of light kill me? Could it be that I'm so handsome that even the system God can't bear to see me die?"Meng Jingtian rubbed his chin as he walked out of the Heavenly God Academy.
Yes! It's very possible!
He didn't know if the god of light had notified the other western gods, but Meng Jingtian didn't meet any of them. He walked all the way back to the Heavenly God Palace.
Unfortunately, after walking back to the Heavenly God Palace, he was dumbfounded again.
The Heavenly God school was surrounded by mountains and ravines. It was even bigger than the heavenly god school in the Golden Palace and Jade Palace. It was boundless. Last time, there was the Daoist who led the way. How could he return to flower valley to hand in the mission now!
If he walked over, wouldn't he walk to the end of time?
"What a scam! Fiendcelestial, I greet your ancestors of eight generations! It was clearly on the way, but you didn't even know to bring me along. That's Too Unkind!"
"You're that New God?"? He was indeed very bold. Although the Fiendcelestial wasn't a member of Our Heavenly Dao College, he was still the main god there. Aren't you afraid that a diplomatic "Command"from him would cause you to be severely punished?"As soon as Meng Jingtian's voice fell.., however, a voice came from somewhere.
"Who! Where are you?"Meng Jingtian turned his head and looked around, but he did not see anyone. He could not help but frown and ask, trying to boost his courage.
"Let me tell you, don't even think about making a move on me! Just now, that idiot of the god of light wanted to kill me, but now he is lying on the ground and can't Get Up!"Immediately after, seeing that no one had appeared, Meng Jingtian threatened again.
...
Although the god of light was lying on the ground unable to get up, it wasn't his doing. At least it was because of him!
"Haha! I'm dying of laughter. A little god like you can't even compare to me. How could you possibly defeat the god of Light?"That mysterious voice laughed loudly.
Chapter 93
This fellow's wanton laughter made Meng Jingtian somewhat displeased. He silently added the title of Hongjun's personal disciple that he had replaced after leaving the deity academy.
"GE ~"that fellow's laughter stopped abruptly as expected.
"You, you are..."following that, he even stuttered.
Meng Jingtian was slightly pleased with himself. Tch! Little Fellow, let's see if you still dare to look down on me!
"You are actually the palace master's disciple! Isn't this too incredible? Your strength is clearly so weak!"After a long while, that fellow finally calmed down and exclaimed.
Meng Jingtian's face turned black. Why did it seem like he was mocking him?
Was it easy for him? How long had he been playing this game? Could he compare to npcs who had their own fixed levels the moment they were created?
"Since you know who I am, why don't you get the hell out? Be careful, or I'll go complain to Master!"Meng Jingtian curled his lips and threatened.
Damn, he was always threatened by others, but now it was finally his turn.
This feeling was awesome!
"Don't! Why are you so narrow-minded!"The guy who spoke finally appeared, but it was from underground.
Meng Jingtian glanced at him and checked his information. He immediately curled his lips, "What? ! I thought he was some powerful god, but it turns out he's just a small earth God."
Zeng Shenyu (Earth God) :
Level: 1 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Race: Protoss
Attributes: ? ? ?
Skills: Earth evasion, mountain moving, blessing..
"What's wrong with the Earth God? The Earth God is also a God!"Zeng Shenyu's eyebrows jumped as he replied.
Then, he resisted the urge to strangle Meng Jingtian. He squeezed out a smile and said, "I see that you are hesitating here and pointing at the sky and cursing the earth. You must have encountered some difficulties, right?"
"Why don't you tell Little God about it? Maybe Little God can help you solve your problems!"
Meng Jingtian looked at this twenty-something-year-old guy with a handsome face, who looked nothing like the Earth god except for a slightly wretched smile. He frowned and said, "Help me? What do you want? Tell Me First!"
There was no free lunch in the world. Meng Jingtian didn't believe that this guy who had just mocked him would help him selflessly.
"Hehe! Well... there is such a small request!"Zeng Shenyu rubbed his hands together and smiled. He used his thumb and index finger to make a nearly non-existent distance.
Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes. Look! Indeed, there was no free lunch!
However, although this Earth God did not look good, he was still a god and an NPC. If he came to ask for help, it might be a mission. If the reward was passable, Meng Jingtian did not mind accepting this mission.
"Don't hesitate. If you have any requests, just say it!"Then, Meng Jingtian waved his hand and said.
"This... hehe..."Zeng Shenyu looked very embarrassed. He raised his head and laughed. Before he finished speaking, he lowered his head again, as if he couldn't bring himself to say it.
"If you don't say it, then I can leave! There are so many gods in the Heavenly Dao College. Perhaps the next god I meet will help me for free on account of my Hongjun Disciple!"Meng Jingtian's eyebrows jumped, it was fine if this guy stuttered, but his expression was really strange and made people feel terrified.
"I'll say it! I'll say it! Don't go!"Zeng Shenyu hurriedly replied.
"Actually... actually, you're right. The Earth God is only one of the tens of thousands of hairy gods in the Heavenly Dao College. He can't even be considered a true God."Zeng Shenyu smiled bitterly and said in a low voice, as if he felt very inferior for this identity.
"Oh, and then?"Meng Jingtian nodded and asked. Did this have anything to do with the mission?
Meng Jingtian's indifferent reaction made Zeng Shenyu raise his head in surprise. "I'm only an Earth God, hairy God!"
"You've already said it once. I'm not deaf. You Don't have to repeat it again!"Meng Jingtian was a little speechless and said impatiently.
Why was this NPC so long-winded!
"Alright! "I say, hairy gods like me are weak and have limited abilities. Therefore, it's very difficult for us to compete with other gods for the worship of incense. However, the worship of incense is just icing on the cake for those powerful gods. To us hairy gods, it's a life-threatening thing."
Zeng Shenyu explained in a deep voice. He looked a little helpless and disappointed.
"If we don't have the faith of the incense stick, if we are forgotten by others, there is no need for us to exist. We will gradually disappear."
"You are gone?"Meng Jingtian nodded. This should be one of the background plots of the game. Since Zeng Shenyu asked for his help, it must be gone.
Zeng Shenyu lifted the hem of his robe. Meng Jingtian looked down and saw that his feet had turned into soil.
"Three months ago, the last human who believed in me died. Without believers, I will die within half a year."
"There are still three months. How Do You Want Me to help you?"Meng Jingtian frowned and asked. Believers? He didn't think he had enough!
"Of course, I hope that you can help me obtain some believers. According to the rules, I Can't leave the Heavenly Dao College now,"Zeng Shenyu explained.
"Originally, I was already in despair, but at this time, you appeared! "I know that you can leave the Heavenly Dao College. If you can go to the gathering place of the humans and help me find a few believers, you can extend my life!"Zeng Shenyu grabbed Meng Jingtian's arm, his eyes lit up as he pleaded.
Meng Jingtian knew that the light in his eyes was called "Hope", and he couldn't bear to reject it.
But this was just a game! He was here to play a game, not to do charity. He couldn't help for nothing, right?
"It's not impossible, but you know that for any God, the more believers, the better. I don't even have many of them myself! Why should I give them to you?"Meng Jingtian hesitated for a moment and asked.
As he spoke, he habitually glanced at his attribute panel, the believers column.
When he looked at it, his eyeballs almost popped out!
No Way? No wonder he had so many faith points recently. He was still five or six million away from upgrading his faith to level 3.
Originally, he only had a few hundred believers after taking in cool breeze camp. Now that he looked at it, the number of believers was more than 20,000!
No, this was too illogical. Could it be that the original followers would take the initiative to develop other followers for him?
That would be too against the rules, right? It seemed that he had to find a time to go to cool breeze camp to take a look and find out the reason for the sudden increase in followers.
Seeing that Meng Jingtian was absent-minded, Zeng Shenyu mistakenly thought that he was waiting for him to offer a bargaining chip. His expression was conflicted, and it was difficult for him to make a decision.
...
But in the end, he lowered his head and looked at his feet. In order to prolong his life, he still said, "If you can obtain a few believers for me and extend my life, I am willing to become your subordinate!"
Chapter 94
"Ding! Belonging to a God: the Earth God who is about to disappear hopes that you can obtain a few believers for him to extend his life.".
Mission reward: belonging to a god × 1, opening his own God system and obtaining the title of "Main God (God rank)"!
Mission Progress: 0/
Mission time limit: 3 months."
The sound of the system announcing a mission rang in Meng Jingtian's ears.
God, God system, main god?
Meng jingtian digested the information revealed in the mission notification. For a moment, he was lost in thought. Zeng Shenyu stared at him nervously.
To Meng Jingtian, this mission could be done or not, but to Zeng Shenyu, this was his only hope.
God system? Meng jingtian roughly understood that between the eastern and western God systems, one God system was a large group of gods.
The main god. He also understood that the demonic god and the god of light were the main gods. Compared to other ordinary gods, they were much more powerful, and they had a group of subordinates under them.
They were each under the eastern and western gods, and together with the group of subordinates under him, they could be said to be gods.
However, could he also become a main god? With his current strength, he was still a little far from becoming a main god, right?
Forget it. Since the mission said so, it wouldn't be fake.
This mission should be worth it!
"Accept!"Coming back to his senses, Meng Jingtian accepted the mission. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
His attitude changed again, patting Zeng Shenyu's shoulder affectionately, he said, "Since we are both gods of the Heavenly Dao divine palace, of course we have to be harmonious, friendly, and help each other! Don't worry, leave this matter to me!"
The corner of Zeng Shenyu's mouth twitched. This Guy's face changed so quickly! Just now, when he didn't ask for the reward, he still acted like he didn't care!
But now, since Meng Jingtian had agreed, Zeng Shenyu was also very cooperative. He smiled and thanked him, "Thank you! Thank you! I don't know what Lord God was worrying about just now. Why Don't you tell me and let little God solve your problems for you!"
Meng Jingtian glanced at him. This guy was very sensible!
He hadn't completed the mission yet, so he didn't need to call him Lord God at all.
"Ahem! Well, I want to go to the Flower God's Hundred Flower Valley, but I don't have any spells that can travel far..."
"That's Easy! Leave it to me! I'll send you to the Flower God right away!"Zeng Shenyu immediately patted his chest and said.
Before Meng Jingtian could answer, he suddenly saw darkness. Although he didn't move his feet, he seemed to be moving rapidly.
"In the ground! What are you..."after looking around carefully, Meng Jingtian realized that he should be underground now. He couldn't help but turn his head and ask Zeng Shenyu, who was pulling him.
"I'm an Earth God. If I want to travel far, I'll naturally choose this Earth escape art!"Zeng Shenyu answered, with a hint of undetectable complacency on his face.
The corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched. He preferred to fly in the clouds.
"He can fly even though he is a Taoist who cultivates with the flower god. You are a God after all. Can't You Fly?"Therefore, he curled his lips and asked Zeng Shenyu.
"Of course I Can Fly! It's just that I can't fly as fast as the Earth Escape Art!"Zeng Shenyu answered indignantly.
What kind of look was Meng Jingtian giving him? He didn't know what was good for him! At the very least, this earth evasion technique of his was a simplified version of a divine ability spell. It was much more advanced than the ordinary cloud climbing technique!
Meng Jingtian ignored him. Taking advantage of this time, he took out the skill book "Divine illusion"that he had just obtained from the quest and learned it.
Divine illusion (god-tier skill) LVL 1: condenses the power of illusion, transforming everything in the world. Duplicates the target's skill, obtaining 150% of the target's skill's power. Returns to the target.
Cooldown: 15 minutes.
"We're Here!"Just as Meng Jingtian was checking the newly learned skill's information, Zeng Shenyu appeared on the ground of Flower Valley with him.
"It's really fast!"Meng Jingtian was surprised and praised.
He had only learned a skill, and in just a few seconds, he had already arrived.
He had indeed underestimated this earth evasion technique.
"You're here! I'm sorry, that fellow was too anxious just now. I was just about to ask him to go back and pick you up!"As soon as the two of them appeared, the flower God shot a glance at the demonic god and said to Meng Jingtian in embarrassment.
"You must be teacher's new disciple, right? Greetings, junior brother!"Without waiting for Meng Jingtian's reply, a young lady who was as graceful as autumn water and so holy that people did not dare to look at her directly walked out from the side and said with a chuckle.
Meng Jingtian glanced at her with a strange expression. This woman was undoubtedly very beautiful, but why did he actually feel that her smile was somewhat benevolent? This was too strange!
It wasn't until Meng Jingtian's gaze moved all the way down and landed on the woman's leg... No, on her tail that he came to a sudden realization.
"You must be senior sister nuwa, right? Hello, senior sister!"Meng Jingtian hurriedly replied with a bow. This wasn't a little deity like Zeng Shen Yu who could be so shameless as to joke around.
At this moment, the flower valley was very lively. The various gods gathered together as if they were holding some sort of grand event.
Other than nuwa, there were also three pure ones, Fuxi, Shennong, Jade Emperor, Fengdu Emperor, Ziwei emperor..
"No, is today a special day?"Seeing this scene, Meng Jingtian carefully asked.
The gods were stunned, but they immediately laughed out loud.
"Junior brother, it's not appropriate for you to go straight to the Flower God's Hundred Flower Valley after leaving Teacher's Purple Heaven Palace! Why Don't you come to senior brother's old gentleman cave!"The Old Lord, whom they had met once before, walked out and said with a smile.
"Today, the reason why we are gathered here is to celebrate junior brother's joy of becoming a disciple, isn't it?"
The Flower God smiled slightly and bowed gracefully to Meng Jingtian. He said softly, "Thank You, God, for your help last time. I only notified a few familiar people. I didn't expect everyone to come."
"Ding! Congratulations, mission completed!"
As the goddess of flowers spoke, Meng Jingtian heard a notification saying that the mission had been completed.
In reality, he had already completed this mission a long time ago. It was only because he was sent to the European server by the Demon God that he had the opportunity to hand in the mission.
So, these were his mission rewards?
Meng Jingtian glanced at the gods and couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.
...
He had originally thought that they were only acquaintances of ordinary gods like the flower god, but who would have thought that they were all big shots!
Of course, this was probably due to his status as Hongjun's personal disciple.
"Greetings, senior brother! I Am..."at this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe with a square face, thick eyebrows, and a dignified expression walked over and cupped his hands towards Meng Jingtian.
"I know! You are the Jade Emperor..."Meng Jingtian looked at the golden title displayed on the information of this god and could not help but blurt it out. His expression was a little complicated.
The Jade Emperor was only a child of Hongjun in purple clouds palace. Hongjun helped him to become the Jade Emperor and only then did he become an in-name disciple. Even though he entered the sect before Meng Jingtian, he still had to address Meng Jingtian as senior brother!
Although it was just a group of npcs, the scenes and characters in "Tomorrow"were very realistic.
Now, Meng Jingtian felt as if he was stepping on a cloud. He felt as if he was floating in the air!
Chapter 95
"That's right!"Zhang Bairen smiled and nodded.
Then, the gods all stepped forward and exchanged a few words with Meng Jingtian.
Zeng Shenyu, who was watching from the side, was a little stunned. He didn't dare to breathe loudly. In front of these big shots, he really didn't have any sense of presence.
After familiarizing himself with them, Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes and started to wander among the gods. Now that the gods had gathered, it was a good opportunity to learn skills from them!
However, who should he learn it from? This was a problem!
Meng Jingtian's first target was naturally the heavenly venerate of Numinous Treasure, primitive heavenly venerate, Nuwa, and the others who were on the same level as Old Lord.
However, when Meng Jingtian vaguely suggested to them that he wanted to learn skills from them, they all shook their heads and said that their spells were not suitable for the current Meng Jingtian to learn.
Moreover, what they were good at were all skills at the divine ability level, and not skills at the divine ability level or below. Meng Jingtian was currently level 43, and he could only learn two divine ability skills, he had already been taught the heavenly laws and the Golden Light of the soaring earth by Hongjun.
In the end, Meng Jingtian could only settle for the second best and shift his gaze to the others.
The first was the Jade Emperor beside him.
"Junior brother! Master wants me to learn some spells from other gods. What do you think I should learn?"Meng Jingtian glanced at the jade emperor and asked, feigning distress.
The Jade Emperor smiled. How could he not see through Meng Jingtian's thoughts? He replied, "Senior brother, if you don't mind, I have a technique here that you can pass on to Me!"
"Ding! Zhang Baren (Jade Emperor) wishes to impart the golden body of a true dragon (god-tier) to you. Will you accept?"
Meng Jingtian was stunned for a moment.
What the F * ck! Wasn't this Jade Emperor too damn straightforward?
This was much easier than he thought.
After all, even after he wracked his brains, he was still unable to get Numinous Treasure, primordial beginning, and the others to teach him the skills.
Was it because of his identity? Or was it because of his strength?
Zhang Baren's strength might be a lot weaker than the others. Perhaps his level in the game was also a lot lower?
"Cough! Thank you, thank you, junior brother!"Meng Jingtian quickly accepted and thanked the Jade Emperor.
"Ding! Congratulations! You have learned the god-tier skill 'true dragon golden body'!"
True Dragon Golden Body (god-tier) LV1: summons the true dragon to protect the body. Removes all negative statuses and is immune to negative statuses and crowd control effects. reduces damage by 60% for 1 minute.
Cooldown: 10 minutes.
Damage Reduction Skill. This was Meng Jingtian's first serious damage reduction skill. However, he was both happy and worried.
After getting used to the feeling of wiping out his enemies in a single move, he naturally wished that he had as many powerful attack skills as possible.
However, he was also very clear that he could not lack support-type skills.
For example, this control-free damage reduction skill could greatly increase the upper limit of his strength.
If he encountered a situation where he could not wipe out his enemies with a single move but had to fight for a long time, this skill would be able to display its effects.
It would not be like the last time he was in the European server. He clearly had the ability to kill a person with a single slash, but because he was controlled so much that he could not move, he could only watch helplessly.
"Junior brother is indeed worthy of being called the Jade Emperor. His spells are exquisite beyond compare!"All in all, Meng Jingtian was still satisfied with this skill. He immediately praised the Jade Emperor to the point that his face flushed red and he was in a great mood.
Meng Jingtian snickered and stopped when he saw that the situation was good. He bade farewell to the Jade Emperor and went to find someone else.
Meng Jingtian's next target was the Fengdu Emperor.
At this moment, the Fengdu Emperor was dressed in a majestic black dragon robe. His face was cold and he was surrounded by a group of followers from the same faction.
"Cough, greetings, Emperor! Little God..."Meng Jingtian walked over and greeted him.
"I don't deserve it!"The Fengdu Emperor's face was still cold. "Spiritual spells are valued for their essence and not their quantity. At the exalted God's realm, the spiritual spells he has learned are already quite complicated. It is only right that he study the spiritual spells he has already learned carefully!"
Before Meng Jingtian finished, the Emperor of Fengdu gave him an education.
Meng Jingtian startled, some depressed, what expensive essence is not expensive, what elaborate study, this is a spell for you, for Me is a skill!
"Tomorrow"skills and no proficiency, have skill points can be upgraded, study what the Hell Ah!
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly paused as if he remembered something.
Hong Jun had told him that he could learn a divine ability skill from him every 20 levels, and a god-tier skill from him every 10 levels.
Burning Sky Fire, Snowflake, divine illusion, and True Dragon Golden Body. There were already four of them!
No Wonder Emperor Fengdu did not want to teach him. It turned out to be the upper limit.
Meng Jingtian immediately felt a little regretful. It wasn't easy for him to get this opportunity, but why was he only level 43?
It was time to level up properly!
"The emperor is right. I've learned my lesson!"After knowing that this was the restriction of the system's rules, Meng Jingtian no longer insisted. He said respectfully to Emperor Fengdu.
"Ding! Emperor Fengdu's friendliness towards you has increased by 5 points!"
Meng Jingtian smiled. Even though they were npcs, it was always good to build a good relationship with them.
Not to mention, they were a group of high-level npcs!
What happened next was a little boring. What could a gathering of gods do? What could a gathering of a group of high-level gods do?
Naturally, it was a discussion of Dao!
Meng Jingtian could not understand those vague words at all. He could only sit there drowsy.
"Ding! Listening to the Old Lord's sermon, Spirit + 1!"
"Ding! Listening to Nuwa's sermon, Constitution + 1!"
...
"Ding! Listening to the primordial heavenly venerate's sermon, Strength + 1!"
..
Of course, it wasn't completely without benefits. At the very least, his basic attributes had increased by a small margin.
Moreover, the additional attribute points obtained from leveling up were extremely precious to the players. In the later stages of the game, after all the players had maxed out their levels, they would basically rely on these additional basic attributes to fight it out.
At this moment, Meng Jingtian was completely unaware of his good fortune. He had no idea how heaven-defying an opportunity he could obtain anywhere in the God's academy was. He had passed this dao discussion while feeling drowsy.
Following which, the gods prepared to leave. Before he left, Old Lord did not forget to remind him to quickly find the spirit herbs for himself.
Naturally, Meng Jingtian agreed without hesitation, even though he did not even have the slightest clue about the spirit herbs.
Since his level wasn't high enough, there was no need for him to stay in the Divine Academy. After all, this place was only a "Sect"for Meng Jingtian, a place to learn skills.
Thus, after the gods dispersed, he prepared to take these two missions back to the Black Dragon Kingdom.
Zeng Shenyu reluctantly bid farewell to Meng Jingtian, worriedly exhorting him over and over again.
"You must remember it! Three months! Only three months! You must find me a believer!"
...
"Got it!"The corner of Meng Jingtian's eyes twitched. He kicked away the Earth God who was hugging his thigh and turned around to walk into the door leading to the Dark Dragon Kingdom.
Chapter 96
When he walked out of the door, he saw the bustling streets of black tortoise city. The private messages kept ringing. It seemed that he had accumulated a lot of information during the time he had left Huaxia.
Meng Jingtian put on the Dugu mask and clicked on the messages while walking on the street.
He had already blocked the messages from strangers. These messages were sent by his good friends.
3.14 CAI Minghou found a wild BOSS and invited him to fight it together.
In the afternoon, he met two girls he knew in real life and invited him to take them to dungeon.
3.15 the Huaxia region escort event started. Cai Minghou used his identity as the second son of the Golden Goose Escort Agency to receive a high-level escort and invited him to escort the escort together.
..
On March 16th, Cai Minghou found a post about Meng Jingtian in Europe posted by Bai Xiaosheng on the Huaxia Region Game Forum.
The following messages were probably "Awesome!", "When are you coming back?", "You didn't even bring me with you!"And so on.
Meng Jingtian smiled and sent back a message: "I'm already back! What's the activity of delivering darts?"
"Wow! A zombie! I thought you were playing over there and refused to leave!"Cai Minghou replied almost instantly.
"Brother Tian, quickly tell me, how did you manage to wipe out the entire city in one move?"Following that, he asked excitedly.
"God-tier skills at Max level, you can do it too."Meng Jingtian pondered for a moment before replying.
"... Don't say anymore, I can't do it! At this stage, who the F * CK has god-tier skills! and Max Level?"Cai Minghou wailed.
"Really? So there are skills below god-tier skills!"Meng Jingtian smiled and asked back.
"Alright! Brother, don't show off in front of me. I know you're very awesome now. How about coming over to play darts? I feel a little unstable with gold-tier skills!"
"En, okay!"Meng Jingtian thought for a moment and replied.
He had originally planned to go directly to the mission that Nangong Hao had released to start a war with the blood demon palace.
However, if the game was just to continuously pursue higher levels and attributes, it would be meaningless.
At this moment, Cai Minghou invited him to run the darts with him. Although he did not know what kind of activity it was, it would be good to go over and play together.
"What are the rewards for running the darts?"Meng Jingtian changed directions and walked towards the Golden Goose Escort Agency, asking Cai Minghou at the same time.
"Gold coins and experience!"Cai minghou explained, "Running a golden level dart once will earn you 500 gold coins and 10 million experience. There is also a chance for you to drop purple equipment."
10 million experience points? Meng Jingtian muttered as he looked at his experience bar. It was probably enough for him to level up by one-third of his level. For a level 30 player like Cai Minghou, it was enough for him to level up by one level.
Compared to farming monsters, it was indeed a lot of experience points.
Speaking of levels, Meng Jingtian glanced at the level rankings of the Huaxia region.
Nangong Lin and Sword Immortal had already reached level 41 and were fighting for second and third place.
The top ten players behind the two of them had also reached level 40.
At this stage, it was not as easy to level up after completing two quests as it was when they first entered the game. The level gap between the players on the leaderboards was getting smaller and smaller, and they were basically all at the same level, the difference in experience.
Among the top 100 leaderboards, Meng Jingtian was the only one who could lower the last player by two levels.
After closing the rankings, Meng Jingtian continued to deal with the information that he had accumulated after leaving the Huaxia region.
Two days ago, Mo Hongyi had invited him to help fight a BOSS that might drop the guild formation token.
Time had passed, so he couldn't be bothered to reply.
Cheng Xiaojin had also sent him a lot of messages, rambling on about useless things.
After seeing Bai Xiaosheng's post, Zhang DEFA also sent a few sincere words of respect.
"Ding!"
Just as Meng Jingtian was dealing with these suppressed messages, another new message was sent. 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Meng Jingtian opened it and saw that it was from Feng Chenghao, asking when he could help with the mission.
"Wait until I finish this task at hand!"Meng Jingtian sent the mission of "Fighting the blood demon palace"to him.
This should be the last part of the chain mission.
"Oh right, since you can find things, help me find a few more!"Meng Jingtian thought of Old Lord's task and sent a few more items to the chat bar.
"DAMN! Do I even need to look for this? The auction house is not hanging! I remember that this snow bear king inner core had failed to be auctioned once. God is F * cking expensive, and I don't know what use it has, do you know?"Feng Chenghao looked at the items, he was immediately speechless.
"The auction house has it?"Meng Jingtian was stunned for a moment. A few days ago, he hadn't seen it.
However, it was no wonder. In the game, the situation changed very quickly. What's more, it was just a few items.
It might not have been there an hour ago, but an hour later, someone had "Dug"it out.
"Alright! I'll go take a look myself. I'll inform you when I'm done,"Meng Jingtian replied.
"Don't! I'm here to do this mission with you. My mission seems to have something to do with your mission. I might be able to complete it in one trip, so I don't have to make a second trip,"said Feng Chenghao.
"Something to do with it? Alright then. We'll do this mission together at eight tomorrow morning."Meng Jingtian nodded and agreed.
"Alright, it's settled then!"
After dealing with the backlog of information, Meng Jingtian walked to the Golden Goose Escort Agency.
"Brother Tian! Over Here!"A shout was heard. Meng Jingtian looked over. At the entrance of the escort agency, a horse carriage was waiting. Cai Minghou and a few other players were waiting there.
Meng Jingtian only knew Cai Minghou. He glanced at the other players. They were all level 38 or level 9. It seemed that they were within the top 100 on the level ranking board. Just by looking at their levels, they could already be considered elite players.
Their equipment was not bad.
"We waited for half a day just to wait for him?"Among them, a level 39 female player, Luo Xiaoxin, glanced at Meng Jingtian and pouted unhappily.
...
At this moment, Meng Jingtian was using Shi Lezhi's identity. His level information had been blurred. As long as he did not use his skills, others could only see the information of a very ordinary player.
Level was the average level in China. Equipment was the most commonly used equipment for players at this stage of the game.
Cai Minghou glanced at Luo Xiaoxin, "If you guys are not happy waiting, just leave the team!"
"You!"Luo Xiaoxin looked at Cai Minghou in surprise. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Hehe! Do you think that without us, the two of you have the ability to make this trip to the gold-tier Dart?"Then, Luo Xiaoxin crossed her arms and sneered.
"After waiting for so long, Can't you just complain a little? Believe it or not, once I leave the team, no one will stay behind!"
"Don't say so much. Let's Go! Indeed, I came late."Meng Jingtian did not plan to argue with such a petty woman. He said indifferently, looked at the carriage and asked Cai minghou, "Where are we sending them?"
Chapter 97
"In the Desert City, you can't use the teleportation portal to transport the darts. It's quite a distance. It'll take about an hour. I'm just afraid that someone will come and rob the darts,"Cai Minghou explained without bothering with the woman.
When Luo Xiaoxin saw that the two of them were ignoring her, she instantly felt that she had been neglected. Her heart was even more unhappy.
In the gang, which one of them did not treat her as a treasure, teasing and coaxing her? These two people actually dared to ignore her! 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶
If it was not for... If it was not for the fact that only Cai Minghou was able to receive the gold-tier darts, and they came to take a share of the rewards, experts like them would never mix with 'ordinary players'like Cai Minghou!
At this moment, Luo Xiaoxin was extremely indignant. She crossed her arms, rolled her eyes, and began to chat with the other members of the team in secret.
"Isn't this not too good?"A male player in the party frowned when he saw Luo Xiaoxin's private message.
They were all members of the same gang as Luo Xiaoxin. Usually, they doted on this "Little Princess". After all, they were considered an elite gang that played the game seriously. They had higher requirements for the level and equipment of the members of the gang, there weren't many female animals in the gang.
"Humph! If you don't agree, then forget it. The others have already agreed with me, so you can stay here! We're leaving the team!"Luo Xiaoxin was obviously very good at dealing with these gang members, and she quickly returned to the private chat.
Because there were still Cai Minghou and Meng Jingtian in the team, these two guys who made her unhappy, so she talked to everyone in private. In fact, not many people agreed to her proposal.
However, under Luo Xiaoxin's words, those who hadn't agreed to her initially heard that everyone else had agreed. If she stayed here alone, wouldn't she be isolated by the gang?
Hence, they all agreed.
"Ding! Player Luo Xiaoxin has left the Party!"
"Ding! Player Zhang Dabao has left the Party!"
..
Just as Cai Minghou and Meng Jingtian were about to leave, Luo Xiaoxin and the others left the party one by one.
"Luo Xiaoxin, what is the meaning of this? Are you kidding me? !"Cai Minghou was not a good-tempered person. He immediately walked over and glared at Luo Xiaoxin.
Just now, they were the ones who had begged him to accept this gold-tier dart. They had even patted their chests to guarantee that they would deliver it to him safely.
"That friend of yours is so capable. What else do you need us to do? Let's Go!"Luo Xiaoxin looked at Cai Minghou's furious look and a smile appeared on her face. She felt a trace of pleasure from taking revenge in her heart. She shrugged her shoulders and crossed her arms as she said with a smile.
"She's right. We don't need to bring this... Burden!"Seeing this, Meng Jingtian also walked over. He glanced at Luo Xiaoxin and the others and said with a smile.
"You..."Luo Xiaoxin glared at him. She felt a wave of anger in her heart. After a moment, she suppressed the anger in her heart and said with a smile, "Well, we're a burden. We won't bother you anymore. I wish you a safe journey."
"Thank you for your kind words. We'll definitely have a safe journey."Meng Jingtian continued to smile.
"HMPH!"Luo Xiaoxin glanced at him and snorted coldly. She left with the other players.
"Why are you talking to her so nicely?"? "This woman is driving me crazy!"! "Are you kidding me? !"! "If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have accepted this gold-tier dart. I wouldn't have bothered you to come here and waste your time."After Luo Xiaoxin and the others left, cai Minghou gnashed his teeth and said.
"How can playing games be said to be a waste of time? Besides, if I argue with an idiot, I'm afraid I'll become an idiot too."Meng Jingtian looked at the backs of Luo Xiaoxin and the others and said with a smile.
He knew that this group of people would not give up so easily. They came to look for Cai Minghou for the reward. Now that they had not received the reward, how could they leave so willingly?
However, Meng Jingtian did not care. He patted Cai Minghou's shoulder and said, "Let's Go!"
"With your level, why are you only 37? You'd better find some time to train hard!"A carriage with a huge golden treasure chest was slowly heading out of black tortoise city. Meng Jingtian leaned against the carriage and glanced at Cai Minghou beside him.
"I've already trained well! Do you think everyone is like you? That level is like riding a rocket, increasing by leaps and bounds,"Cai Minghou replied speechlessly.
Because he had been left behind in the early stages, and he was an independent player, he did not like to be restricted by big gangs. It was already pretty good that he could catch up with the progress of ordinary players.
"After I finish the few quests in hand, I'll bring you to train a few levels."Meng Jingtian patted Cai Minghou on the shoulder and said.
"Hey! Wait, we just happened to pass by. Let's go to cool breeze village to have a look first."At this moment, they just happened to pass by the foot of cool breeze camp. Meng Jingtian called out to Cai Minghou, who was controlling the horse carriage.
"What's there to see? It's almost developed into a small town now, but it's no different from the other small towns in black tortoise city."Cai Minghou was a little puzzled, however, he still drove the carriage onto the newly built road leading to cool breeze village.
Meng Jingtian only smiled and didn't answer. He couldn't explain things like believers to him for a while.
When they arrived at cool breeze village, it was just as Cai Minghou had said. The place had developed like a small town, and many players came and went.
However, Meng Jingtian still couldn't find the reason for the sudden increase in his believers until he saw a player dressed like a temple priest pulling another player to the statue of God in the middle of the village to worship.
"Don't miss this chance! Believe in the god of Meng and you will gain eternal life! There are already three players who have received the blessing of the main god through worshipping the god of Meng! Are you sure you don't want to give it a try?"As they approached the statue, many players were shouting.
Seeing the two of them coming in a carriage, another player directly pulled Meng Jingtian, with a face full of enthusiasm, he promoted, "Are you here to worship the god of Meng? I'm not saying that even if you aren't that lucky to receive the blessing of the god of Meng, I can still bless you guys with a safe journey!"
Meng Jingtian's brain was a little out of whack. So, these believers that appeared out of nowhere were actually players?
Bless... Safe Journey? Since when did he have such a function? Why didn't he know about it?
"Come! Come, come! Let's worship! You can choose any of the three qualities of the worship incense, it's fair and square!"That player took out a handful of incense from his backpack and sold it to Meng Jingtian.
Meng Jingtian was speechless. "So you guys want to sell incense?"
These words seemed to have suddenly angered this player. He immediately glared at Meng jingtian and said, "How can you say that? Faith! Do you understand faith? Meng God Is Our faith!"
"Even the npcs have given him a god statue. Who else in the game can do that? "As long as we sincerely worship him, Meng God will definitely bless us to farm monsters and get purple equipment. We will encounter fortuitous encounters every day and become a god of the game just like him!"The player said angrily.
"Ding!"
"I forgot to tell you. This place... is still the base of those brainless fans of yours."Cai Minghou's mouth twitched as he watched from the side. At the very least, he suppressed his laughter and sent a private message to the dumbstruck Meng Jingtian.
Chapter 98
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"Meng Jingtian threw Cai Minghou a murderous look, but he was pulled away by the player beside him.
He really wished that he could send this player back to the Resurrection Point with a divine punishment spell!
But since this was the base of his brainless fans, if his identity was exposed, the consequences would be even worse than now.
In the end, he could only choose to compromise. After buying a stick of incense, he worshipped his idol with mixed feelings.
It turned out that players could indeed become his followers. It was not just the 'Saintess'Jiang Ruxue's patent. It was just that other players did not have the skills to sacrifice.
Moreover, this player's followers came too easily, right?
Forget it. Meng Jingtian sighed. These brainless fans were finally not completely useless. At least they could provide him with some faith points.
"Hurry up and leave!"After paying his respects to God, Meng Jingtian urged Cai Minghou with lingering fear. This place was really too terrifying.
He felt as if he had entered the lair of a cult. Those brainless fans had indeed treated him as their faith. They were fanatical and did not allow others to speak ill of him.
"What's the rush? I haven't even prayed yet!"Cai Minghou grinned as he took a stick of incense from a player. He also went to pray in front of the idol.
He even muttered, "Bless me to level up like a rocket. I'll farm monsters and get purple equipment. I'll never fail in a dungeon..."
The corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched. He looked at Cai Minghou with a dark face. This kid, was he deliberately making fun of him? 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚
If he really can bless others, shouldn't he bless himself first?
Seeing that Meng Jingtian was really about to get angry, Cai Minghou inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner in front of the statue and said with a smile, "Then let's Go!"
Pulling the carriage with the Golden Treasure Chest, he slowly left cool breeze village and ran in the direction of desert city.
After the carriage left cool breeze village, Meng Jingtian finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, he was thinking about how to find a few believers for Zeng Shenyu.
Since players could become his believers, he wondered if they could become believers of the NPC gods.
As he was thinking, he suddenly sensed danger. He looked up and saw a feather arrow shooting straight at him.
"Golden Light!"Meng Jingtian's face darkened and he easily dodged it. However, the feather arrow was not one, but three arrows stabbed into the carriage board.
"Tomorrow"set the background of the game according to the characteristics of each region. There were no "Battle mage priests"in China, but there were also various sects that were similar to "Battle mage priests".
There were inner strength sects similar to mages, outer strength sects similar to warriors, and doctors similar to priests.
However, archers were more special. They were found in almost all regions, but their attributes and skills were slightly different.
"What a coincidence! I saw that you didn't need us, so you came to rob the darts to have some fun. I didn't expect to see you again."A group of players walked out from the bushes by the roadside, luo Xiaoxin smiled like a flower and shrugged.
Meng Jingtian glanced around. Their team was much stronger than when they left, but the extra ones had uneven levels. They should be the players who had been waiting here to rob the darts.
"It's a coincidence. I didn't expect my teammates to become enemies in less than ten minutes. Since they're enemies, I won't be polite,"Meng Jingtian said indifferently.
Only ghosts would believe Luo Xiaoxin's coincidence. This guy probably had the idea of robbing the darts when he left the team.
Although robbing the darts didn't give them as much exp as robbing the darts, they would receive a large number of gold coins if they successfully robbed the goods.
The golden darts that Cai Minghou had received were already the highest grade of darts entrusted by the escort agency at this stage. If they succeeded in robbing them, it would be enough for them to make a large sum of money. They would still have a few tens of thousands of gold coins.
At this moment, Luo Xiaoxin and the others had already clearly stood on the opposite side of Meng Jingtian. There was no need for him to show mercy.
"Humph! Well said! We're robbing the darts, but you guys are escorting the darts. It's just a different way of playing the game. When you fight, Don't blame us for not remembering our friendship,"Luo Xiaoxin said with a cold snort.
In fact, she was trying to defend herself. After all, she had just retired from the escort team, so it was somewhat immoral for her to rob the darts.
No one would be willing to team up with her in any activities in the future.
"Don't talk so much nonsense!"Meng Jingtian didn't even look at her. He immediately threw down the sky-burning fire and the snow flower one after another.
"Let's Go!"Then, he turned around confidently and sat back on the carriage.
Cai Minghou held the reins of the carriage and watched this scene in a daze.
In the rising sea of fire, lotus flowers that looked like ice crystals bloomed. In addition to the flickering white light, it was like fireworks. It was extremely beautiful.
"Holy shit! This is simply... simply..."after a long while, Cai Minghou came back to his senses and was somewhat incoherent.
"The video is indeed not as shocking as seeing it with my own eyes! Is this the god-tier skill you were talking about?"Cai Minghou asked Meng Jingtian excitedly.
"Yes!"Meng Jingtian nodded calmly.
Cai Minghou had a complicated expression on his face as he boarded the carriage and continued on his journey.
He simply could not think of any other player who could contend against Meng Jingtian. This was no longer a simple crushing of attributes, but a crushing of levels. This was a crushing of the game's progress!
This made Cai Minghou feel a little anxious. He could still barely keep up with Meng Jingtian's progress in the previous games, but now..
"I triggered a fortuitous encounter previously. I should be able to join a hidden sect very soon..."after a moment of silence, Cai Minghou said.
He would not be left behind so far!
"That's great! Train your levels as soon as possible. After I finish the task at hand, we will go and find two new dungeons to play with,"Meng Jingtian said as he patted his arm.
"Oh right, have you found long Feng Liuyun, red dust guest, Mo Wen Cangtian, and the others?"Immediately after, he seemed to have thought of something and asked Cai Minghou.
Cai Minghou shrugged his shoulders. "They are not as strong as the two of us. They even hide their real names. All they know is how to find their previous ids?"
"Forget it then. We will meet again if we are fated."Meng Jingtian had only suddenly thought of it. Now that he heard Cai Minghou say this, he did not force it.
Those few people were friends who had played well in the game before. They were all "Lone Rangers". They were more withdrawn and didn't want to be involved in the real world, so they didn't leave any contact information other than the game.
In "Tomorrow", they couldn't even create their own characters and couldn't find people.
"Actually, it's not difficult to find them. As long as you put your previous ID on the Forum, the name Meng Jingtian will be enough for them to find you on their own,"Cai Minghou suggested.
"Then forget it!"Meng Jingtian quickly waved his hand.
While they were chatting, desert city was in sight. The two of them entered the city with the escort carriage, attracting a lot of players from the city to watch.
...
"Am I seeing things? The two of them dared to bet on the golden escort. They are so lucky!"
"Don't tell me there are no looters on the road? Why did the boss get robbed the moment he left Black Tortoise City!"
"F * ck! The lucky players can't be compared to them!"
Looking at the darts that were almost full of health and Meng Jingtian who were sitting in the car, the group of players discussed animatedly.
Chapter 99
"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully delivered the Golden Carriage!"
"Ding! You have received 10,000,000 experience points, 500 gold coins, golden shoes (purple) !"
After delivering the carriage to the Chen residence of a large family in desert city, Meng Jingtian and Cai minghou received these two system notifications.
Meng Jingtian's experience bar instantly increased by a large margin, while Cai Minghou directly reached level 38, leading the majority of the game players at this moment.
If he could continue to dart, with the efficiency of 10 million experience points in an hour, he would be able to do so. Transporting darts was indeed the fastest way to level up, but unfortunately, he could only receive them once a day.
After transporting the darts, Meng Jingtian was about to open the auction house to look for his quest items when Cai Minghou glanced at him and said, "Someone is looking for you."
"What?"Meng Jingtian was stunned for a moment. "Who's looking for me? How did they find you?"
"It's all because you blocked the information of strangers. This player's name is Huang Shang. I think it's because of the matter with Luo Xiaoxin and her group."Cai Minghou rolled his eyes and looked at the secret message.
"Forget it then. Whatever they want, just follow me. I'll take them all!"Meng Jingtian lost interest and curled his lips.
"No, this Huang Shang is their leader. He seems to be here to apologize,"Cai Minghou explained with a bitter smile when he heard Meng Jingtian's indifferent words.
He was probably the only one who looked down on a big gang even though he was just a lone ranger.
"Apologize?"Meng Jingtian touched his chin. Although he didn't have much contact with her, he could tell from Princess Luo Xiaoxin's personality that she wouldn't let it go so easily, right?
After killing her once, she still wanted to apologize to him?
Or could it be that their sect leader was a reasonable person?
Whatever! Meng Jingtian added the player that Cai Minghou had mentioned, "Huang Shang.".
"You're Luo Xiaoxin's sect leader?"
"Yes, that's right!"
"You, are Meng Jingtian, God Meng? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. A small sect like this hasn't seen the world. Xiaoxin was blind to have offended you! Here, I have a small gift to express my apology."
"Speak properly!"Looking at the pile of secret messages sent by Huang Shang, the corner of Meng Jingtian's mouth twitched as he replied.
However, why did it feel a little familiar? In his memory... there seemed to be someone who used punctuation marks indiscriminately.
"Liuyun?"After thinking for a moment, Meng Jingtian suddenly came to a realization. He sent a probing message and asked.
Huang Shang suddenly fell silent. He did not reply for a long time. He was probably shocked too?
"Who are you?"After a long while, Huang Shang finally sent another message to ask.
"Haha! Haha!"After confirming the other party's identity, meng Jingtian could not help but burst into laughter. He sent a voice message and said, "I didn't expect it! I really didn't expect it! Didn't you always say that you were out of this world, like a celestial being? You actually have such a vulgar name!"
Hearing this familiar laughter, Huang Shang, who was still in black tortoise city, couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows. "Stop F * cking laughing! Aren't you afraid that others will think you are crazy!"
"What's the situation? What benefits did that Huang Shang give you? Why are you laughing like this! Could it be half of the country?"Cai Minghou looked at it and was a little dumbfounded. He didn't forget to ask jokingly.
"Haha! Guess Who this Huang Shang is?"Meng Jingtian looked at him and asked.
"How the F * ck do I know who he is?"Cai Minghou rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.
"Flowing cloud! It's flowing cloud!"Meng Jingtian was still laughing so hard that he could barely breathe.
It was not that he was laughing too much, but the contrast between this guy and the past was simply too great!
"It can't be!"When Meng Jingtian said this, Cai Minghou's jaw dropped in shock.
"No, if it was Liu Yun, how could he be the leader? Moreover, I've heard that Canglan City only accepts players above level 38. It's the second elite gang in black tortoise city."Then, he asked.
When he said this, Meng Jingtian was somewhat puzzled. He simply sent a message to Huang Shang and asked, "Are you really Liu Yun? How did you establish a gang?"
"Sigh! I had no choice. I had no choice!"Huang Shang sighed.
"This game covers too much territory. My whole family came to play. Their personalities are more... competitive. There are also many people. So, they simply established a gang. I played more games, so I was forced to become the gang leader."
"Don't Sigh. It's more lively with more people!"Meng Jingtian finally finished laughing and comforted him.
"Alright! Since it's you, brother, I know what to do with this matter! You're the same, sneaking around and becoming the number one person in this game. Even if you become rich, you won't promote your brothers!"
"What sneaking around? I've always been aboveboard!"Meng Jingtian curled his lips and said.
"On the other hand, the few of you, after playing together for so long, you don't even want to say your real names. That's sneaking around. However, I'm a little curious now. are all their names like yours..."
"Don't talk about my name!"Huang Shang said helplessly, "Alright, I'll go deal with this matter first. Come to Black Tortoise City again when you're free!"
"Sure! Give my regards to your little Princess Luo Xiaoxin!"Meng Jingtian roughly knew how he should deal with this matter, so he said with a smile.
"I'm afraid she can't bear your greetings,"Huang Shang said with a chuckle.
Originally, he had planned to apologize to Meng Jingtian and make peace. He would just let this matter go.
No matter what, Luo Xiaoxin was his gang member. If she caused trouble, he, as the gang leader, would have no choice but to wipe his ass and cover for her.
But now, there was no need to say so much. Who should the gang members and brothers lean towards?
Not to mention that this matter was originally princess Luo Xiaoxin's illness acting up and he was courting death. Even if she was in the right, Huang Shang would most likely lean towards Meng Jingtian.
Even if he was wrong, he could say that he was a brother, but he couldn't allow others to say anything.
When facing outsiders, he would always stand firmly behind Meng Jingtian.
"Sigh! I didn't expect it! The leader of Canglan City is actually him. I Won't bother you anymore. I'll look for him to freeload from the Big Pot and bring me up to this level!"After that, Cai Minghou also chatted with Huang Shang and said goodbye to Meng Jingtian. b𝚎dn𝚘v𝚎l.𝚌𝚘m
"Alright!"Meng Jingtian nodded with a smile. He then opened the auction house and began to search for his quest item.
As Feng Chenghao had mentioned that he had seen the Snow Bear King's inner core in the auction house, Meng Jingtian first searched for this item.
Not long after, a product search message appeared. There was only one message. It seemed that ordinary players could not obtain many high-level items like this.
Moreover, he didn't know if this item was the one that had failed to sell.
...
When he opened the message, he saw that the price was 450,000!
He had no idea what the Snow Bear King's inner core was for. With such a high price, it was no wonder no one had bought it.
"450,000!"Meng Jingtian immediately offered the current price, preparing to buy it.
Chapter 100
However, the auction house wasn't a shop after all. There would be a waiting period for bids. If no one else bid, he would be able to successfully purchase the item.
After bidding on the Snow Bear King, Meng Jingtian began to search for the other two quest items, purple-gold vine and crimson spiritual grass.
These two items were easier to find. Players had already discovered that they were advanced alchemy materials. However, as there were no players who could utilize them at this stage of the game, their prices weren't too high.
Meng Jingtian found two items that were about to expire and bought them for 50,000 and 80,000 gold coins respectively.
"Ding! Your auction for the Snow Bear King's inner core has failed. The bid has been returned."At this moment, a system notification sounded.
Meng Jingtian was stunned for a moment. It Can't be?
Didn't Feng Chenghao say that this item had failed the auction before? There was actually someone who would bid against him!
Meng Jingtian once again opened the auction interface of the Snow Bear King's inner core. As expected, he saw that the bidding price had already been raised to 460,000.
"500,000!"Meng Jingtian frowned and bid again.
"F * CK, is this guy crazy?"In Vermillion Bird City, in a small room on the second floor of the "Wonderful Pill Pavilion"that stood in the center of the city, the player Qi Qian stared at the virtual interface in front of him, his previous bid for the Snow Bear King's inner core had been raised to 500,000.
"510,000!"Gritting his teeth, Qi Qian raised his trembling hand and placed another bid on the virtual interface.
I knew it! Alchemists are really a F * cking prodigal profession! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have fallen into this trap.
"Eh? He's very persistent!"Seeing that person place another bid, Meng Jingtian exclaimed in surprise.
He had directly bid 500,000 just now to tell this player that he was determined to obtain the Snow Bear King inner core.
He did not expect the other party to continue competing with him. He did not know where this nouveau riche came from. At this stage, even for a gang, there were not many who could spend so many gold coins to buy such an unknown item.
"550,000!"Meng Jingtian bid again.
"560,000!"The other party also made another bid. Although he only increased the bid by 10,000 each time, it seemed that the other party was quite persistent.
Meng Jingtian considered for a moment. At this moment, there were still more than two hours before the end of the Snow Bear King's inner core auction.
He could have temporarily abandoned his bid and taken the Snow Bear King's inner core at a more cost-effective price at the last moment of the auction.
However, that would depend on his reaction speed. Although he was quite confident in his reaction speed, there was only one Snow Bear King's inner core. If he failed, he would not know where to find it.
After thinking for a moment, Meng Jingtian was too lazy to tangle with this fellow. He glanced at the bid at the end of the auction and directly bid "One million!".
"Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully bought a Snow Bear King inner core. Please go to the messenger to collect it."
"F * ck! This bastard... which second-generation heir!"Qi Qian looked at the disappearing Snow Bear King inner core and was stunned for a long time before he could not help but swear.
As for Meng Jingtian, after buying the Snow Bear King inner core, he did not have much gold left. He had also spent a lot of money in the European server to reward Zheng country.
Now, he only had a little over a million left. In the eyes of other players, it might still be a lot, but in the eyes of Meng jingtian, who was used to spending gold coins extravagantly, it was already not enough!
At this moment, he opened the auction house and hung up all the "Trash"equipment that he did not need in his bag.
It was not like the auction for the Snow Bear King inner core just now. It was calm. Other than Meng Jingtian and Qi Qian, almost no one paid attention to it.
This batch of "Trash"had just appeared on the market, and it had attracted many players and even gangs to fight for it.
"Who the hell is this? Is He a newbie who just entered the game, or has he cleared all his equipment and is preparing to leave the game? This kind of top-grade purple equipment is also on the market."
"F * ck! If I had known earlier, I would have saved more gold coins. I just bought this piece of trash in the dungeon. It's not enough to buy this top-grade purple equipment!"
"Hurry up and go to the auction house to snatch the equipment!"
Meng Jingtian's casual actions caused another small storm in the game. However, he had already taken out the Snow Bear King's inner pellet and logged off.
Following that, he logged into the game forum of the China region offline. He was ready to see what new things had happened in the China region during the time that he had left.
Unfortunately, the moment he opened the forum, he was flooded with posts about him.
Meng Jingtian laughed bitterly. It wouldn't be easy for his popularity to cool down. In order to prevent himself from being chased like a meat bun everywhere, he had to keep a low profile for a while!
However, other than the topic of Meng Jingtian, there were also other game posts.
The escort system that had just been released a while ago had already been discussed by quite a number of people.
There was also the martial arts test Enke that had been launched in the mysterious dragon country a while ago. After a period of preparation, the rankings of the various cities had basically been determined, and the star players that had emerged from the martial arts test.., it could be considered as taking away some of Meng Jingtian's attention.
"The situation has been set! It seems that I should participate in the next episode."Meng Jingtian looked at the list of players who had occupied the top ten places in the martial arts test Enke in these two episodes and muttered.
After a good night's sleep, Meng Jingtian logged into the game again the next morning. The moment he logged into the game, he received a series of notifications from the system. He received a lot of mail.
He ran over to the messenger and took a look. All of the equipment that had been put up for auction yesterday had been sold. The gold coins had been mailed by the system. 𝒷ℯ𝒹𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶
The equipment was not much. It was just a pile of "Trash". However, it had brought Meng Jingtian more than 750,000 gold coins.
"I'm at Black Tortoise City, where are you?"At this time, a secret message sounded, it was from Feng Chenghao.
"It's not even eight o'clock yet! What are you in a hurry for? Go wait for me outside the encampment of Azure Dragon City's Azure Dragon Army, I'll be there soon!"Meng Jingtian looked at the time and replied.
Then, he teleported back to black tortoise city from the desert city's teleportation portal, and then to Azure Dragon City.
As the capital of the Black Dragon Kingdom, Azure Dragon City could only be reached directly by the teleportation portal of the four major cities.
"DAMN! Brother, can you hurry up? I'm under a lot of pressure!"Seeing Meng Jingtian slowly walking over, Feng Chenghao hurried over and said to Meng Jingtian.
"What's wrong? You're under a lot of pressure?"Meng Jingtian asked with some confusion.
Feng Chenghao was speechless. He pointed at the Azure Dragon Army camp not far away and said, "F * ck, you told me to wait for you here. A bunch of level 50 npcs are staring at me. They are giving me goosebumps!"
"What? Their eyes are so kind. Their smiles are so approachable. How are they giving me Goosebumps?"Meng Jingtian glanced at Feng Chenghao and said suspiciously.
The corner of Feng Chenghao's mouth twitched. Damn it, when he was alone, how did these npcs'eyes have anything to do with being kind?
"Hello! Please take us to your commander, Qin Tianchou!"Meng Jingtian ignored the messy Feng Chenghao and strode toward the entrance of the camp. He took out the token that Nangong Hao gave him and showed it to him.
