Chapter 1
2290 A.D.
The Son of God descended to the Blue Planet and brought the Son of God System.
The Son of God System would release a game at irregular intervals. When the people from Blue Planet entered the game, it was as if they had entered a brand new world.
Each game was different. There were gods, demons, elves, swordsmen who traveled the world with weapons, and demon lords who slaughtered the commonfolk…
Players from the Blue Planet entered the game with their physical bodies. Inside the game, everything they obtained could be used in reality. Even the skills in the game could be released in the real world.
Because of this, you could see people flying through the sky and burrowing into the ground in reality.
However, every time a new game was about to be released, everyone's abilities, skills, and classes would vanish. The things that had been brought to reality would remain in reality, though they could not be brought into the next game.
However, the most precious items or special items dropped by the final boss of each game could be brought over to the next game.
Also…
Because the physical body enters the game directly, death in the game meant death in reality.
…
The World
The densely packed gamers lay on the ground, panting heavily. They had just finished a world-shaking battle.
Flames in the surroundings burned the ruins.
The battle had lasted three months. Their opponents were countless monsters and the final boss, the Evil Demon Lord. The players had finally seized victory.
In the Endless Sky.
A masked man in silver armor was forced to the edge of the sky by dozens of people.
"Feng Ling! You betrayed me!"
Covered in blood, Chu Bai raised the sword in his hand and glared at the first person in front of him.
Feng Ling sneered and looked at Chu Bai.
"Bai Feng, you have nowhere to go. If you know what's good for you, hand over the Divine Armament Diagram. That way, you can suffer less pain. Even if you don't hand it over, you'll still drop it after I kill you."
As important contributors to the slaying of the Evil Demon Lord, Chu Bai and the dozens of people in front of him were comrades and had been brothers-in-arms for several years.
Unexpectedly, for the sake of the ultimate item—the Divine Armament Diagram dropped by the Evil Demon Lord—they suddenly turned against him and plotted against Chu Bai, sealing off his magic, crippling him, and forcing him to a corner.
Aside from the people here, many of Chu Bai's former comrades had also betrayed him.
Chu Bai took a deep breath, his eyes alight with anger.
"Fine, since you want me dead, don't even think about making it out alive today!"
With that, Chu Bai fished out a bead.
"Blood Guiding Bead!"
Seeing the bead in Chu Bai's hand, everyone's pupils constricted violently and they subconsciously began to retreat.
"Die, all of you!"
Crack—
Chu Bai crushed the Blood Guiding Bead, and countless strands of blood wrapped around the people.
"Ah—"
Screams could be heard one after the other. Their bodies were torn into nothingness by the blood and their equipment dropped to the ground. Only a few people who were far away survived.
However, at the last moment, a burst of light erupted from Feng Ling's body. He landed safely in the Endless Sky.
Chu Bai saw this right before he died.
"F*ck! If not for the Scroll of Invincibility, I would have been killed!"
Feng Ling cursed and then walked over to the spot where Chu Bai had disappeared. There was a pile of fallen treasures there, and he picked up the Divine Armament Diagram.
"The Divine Armament Diagram, the ultimate item that can be brought to the next game, is mine! Hahaha! With this, I can dominate the next game and take everything!"
The ultimate item dropped by the final boss of a game was a treasure that everyone dreamed of having!
It could be brought to the next game to help the user stand above everyone else.
The few people who had survived ran over excitedly.
"Green Cloud Stone, Jade Water Bead, Fatal Strike Scroll. Oh my god, there are so many good things!"
"Some of these can be brought to the next game, right?"
"…"
The people excitedly distributed the treasures.
"Bai Feng, my good brother, let us inherit these treasures of yours."
Feng Ling sneered.
…
Zhongjiang City.
In a rented house, Chu Bai suddenly opened his eyes.
"I'm not dead?"
He looked at his body in disbelief, then quickly checked the time.
"December 5th."
It seemed that he was resurrected right after he died, instead of being brought back to the past.
Next to him, a cracked crystal ball the size of a ping pong ball attracted Chu Bai's attention.
"Prayer's Glass."
Chu Bai reached out and stroked it.
This was something Chu Bai's girlfriend had left for him before she disappeared.
In the game, its effect was supposed to be a resurrection, but the Prayer's Glass had always been unusable. He did not expect it to come into play when he died.
Chu Bai and Ling Longxue met five years ago in the game "King's Descent". She was also a person Chu Bai knew in real life and the only one who knew that Chu Bai was "Bai Feng". This was because, inside the game, Chu Bai had never taken off his mask.
The two of them had been in love for three years, but two years ago, when Chu Bai went offline, Ling Longxue had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the Prayer's Glass and a farewell letter.
In the letter, she said that she had something very important to do and was going to a place called the Land of Destiny.
Chu Bai had searched the Land of Destiny for two years, but he had not so much as heard of the place.
He carefully put away the broken glass.
It was night, and it was dark outside.
Right then, a white light suddenly appeared in the sky outside the window. Chu Bai looked over.
Chapter 2
There was a line of words written on the white light.
[Adventurers, the final chapter of "The World" has concluded, and the map is now permanently closed. At 8 a.m. tomorrow, "Destiny" will attack. All adventurers, please head to the Land of Destiny and start a brand new adventure.]
Chu Bai was already used to this scene.
But…
"Destiny? The Land of Destiny!"
Chu Bai suddenly stood up excitedly.
The so-called Land of Destiny that he had been searching for was actually the next game world after The World…
He did not expect the surprise to come so suddenly.
Lovers and enemies were all there…
"Xue'er, wait for me."
Chu Bai silently clenched his fists!
Meanwhile, many people were exclaiming outside.
"F*ck! Destiny? Is a new game coming so soon?"
"Ahhh! I can't f*cking fly anymore! I've lost all my power, my skills! Boohoo, this sucks!"
"I still have 20,000 yuan in 'The World'. I didn't have time to withdraw it. I haven't settled my rent for next month. Will there be a beautiful landlady who will take me in? Tsk…"
"Destiny, onward!"
"…"
They were all very excited to hear about the new game.
There were three reasons why they were eager to go.
First of all, when a game concludes its final chapter, they could make an exchange for lifespan. Some people had even lived for hundreds of years by now. The most amazing thing was that some people still looked young even after hundreds of years had passed.
Secondly, if you do not enter the game and fail to complete the final mission of said game, the Son of God System will destroy the Blue Planet.
Thirdly, it was for influence, money, and power!
Even if your power would eventually disappear at the end of the game, everyone still wanted more influence and money and to live longer.
"Eight o'clock tomorrow."
Chu Bai memorized the time, then went out to order duck leg rice. He sat down to eat.
The television in the shop was broadcasting news related to The World.
At this moment, Feng Ling appeared on the television screen.
Chu Bai looked up and his eyes narrowed.
"Hello, Great God Feng Ling. I'm Reporter Xiao You. Please greet the audience in front of the camera."
On the television screen, Feng Ling waved his hand. "Hello, everyone. I'm Feng Ling."
"Great God Feng Ling, did you say that you have something important to announce?"
Feng Ling nodded. "That's right. I have two things to announce today. The first is…"
He looked desolate and bit his lips slightly, looking very downcast. "The first thing I have to share is bad news. I hope everyone will not break down after hearing it."
"What is it?" the reporter asked.
Feng Ling looked at the camera and sighed. He said softly, "My good brother, the number one player, Bai Feng… has sadly left us forever."
"What?"
Everyone could not believe their ears.
The people eating in the shop stood up one after another.
"How is this possible? How could God Bai die? Was he killed by the final boss, the Evil Demon Lord? Impossible! The players fought for three months without being able to kill the Evil Demon Lord, but then God Bai suddenly appeared and depleted the Evil Demon Lord's HP bar in only a few moves! With such strength, how could God Bai die?"
"The number one player trampled head-on the Emperor who dominated King's Descent for many years and one-shotted the masters to claim first place on the Heaven Ranking. In Divine Demon, he single-handedly killed tens of millions of monsters, triggered the secret quest, got the Destiny Goddess to descend, and gave everyone in the world an additional year of lifespan. I refuse to believe that such an invincible idol would be killed by an Evil Demon Lord with low health!"
"I don't believe it! I don't believe that God Bai is dead! Ahhh! God Bai!"
"No! I don't care! It's fake! It's definitely fake!"
"…"
Chu Bai stared at the television as he ate. He wanted to hear what this sanctimonious guy would say next.
"Great God Feng Ling, is… is what you said true?"
The reporter's voice was also trembling.
Feng Ling nodded. "It's true. During the battle today… I'm sorry…"
As he spoke, he turned his head to wipe his tears, then turned around again. 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶
"Today, the Evil Demon Lord was severely injured and we went to chase after him. However, we were caught off guard when the Evil Demon Lord went berserk. My good brother, Bai Feng, was seriously injured before he could react. After we killed the Evil Demon Lord, we quickly tended to Bai Feng. However, we realized that he was Poisoned and his health bar was constantly dropping."
"We used everything we could, but we couldn't get rid of the poison. In the end… in the end…"
Feng Ling turned around again and wiped his tears.
In the shop, those people looked crestfallen. They slumped into their chairs as if they had lost all their strength.
"God Bai… is dead…"
They muttered to themselves in disbelief.
Chu Bai laughed mockingly.
It was a pity that this person was not a professional actor.
Feng Ling took a deep breath and said, "In the end, my good brother, Bai Feng, fell. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry that I couldn't save Bai Feng! I'm sorry!"
With that, Feng Ling bowed deeply to the camera.
"I'm guilty! I'm useless! I've let my brother Bai Feng down! I could only watch him die!"
The reporter also mopped tears. "Great God Feng Ling, it's not your fault. It's not your fault! I believe that God Bai will be truly happy if he saw how remorseful you are."
Feng Ling stood up slowly and took a deep breath, revealing a self-deprecating look of 'sadness'.
The reporter asked, "Great God Feng Ling, what's the second thing you wanted to say?"
Feng Ling wiped his tears and said, "Bai Feng gave me all of his treasures before he died, as well as the divine artifact, the Azure Cloud Sacred Sword, which had accompanied him for five years."
As he spoke, he took out the Azure Cloud Sacred Sword that was emitting a platinum glow.
"Bai Feng said that he wanted me to take this sword and carry his will into the next game to kill the final boss and save Blue Planet! So I announce…"
Feng Ling raised the Azure Cloud Sacred Sword in his hand and shouted angrily, "From today onward, I, Feng Ling, will carry on my brother Bai Feng's dying wish. Holding his sword, I will fulfill his dream! Bai Feng might be dead, but he is not truly gone! There is still me and everyone else!"
In the small shop, many people got to their feet and applauded!
"Well said! Bai Feng didn't really die! God Bai will live forever!"
"God Bai! God Bai!"
"…"
Feng Ling continued, "Everyone knows that my guild in the game is Feng Ling Dynasty. But now, I plan to establish another guild. The name of the guild will be Bai Feng Alliance. Bai Feng Alliance and Feng Ling Dynasty shall be comrades. Just like me and Bai Feng, we will be brothers forever. Let us be allies and brothers-in-arms. We will inherit Bai Feng's will and walk down the path together!"
Inside the small shop, everyone stood up and cheered.
"Follow Bai Feng's will! Let's go down the path together!"
"Join the Bai Feng Alliance!"
…
The next day.
The trending topic had already been flooded with news of Bai Feng.
Hot search ranking:
[First place: Bai Feng is dead.]
[Second place: Bai Feng Alliance]
[Third place: Great God Feng Ling]
…
Chu Bai had yet to wake up, but the Son of God's Mark on the back of his hand flickered with light, and a slight electric current forced Chu Bai awake.
This was the mark that everyone was born with. With this mark, one could enter the game time at any time.
"Ding... Honorable adventurer, Destiny will begin in ten minutes. Please be prepared."
A system notification that Chu Bai was already used to hearing resounded in his mind.
Normally, he would not hear such a voice. Only in important situations would there be such system notifications in reality.
Chu Bai washed up.
It was eight o'clock.
"Activate!"
With a thought from Chu Bai, his body disappeared from his rented apartment.
In the next moment, he arrived in a space similar to the universe.
"Welcome to Destiny. The game has begun. Please create an account."
Chapter 3
Chu Bai was already familiar with these things.
"Player, please create an ID."
Chu Bai replied, "Bai Feng."
He wanted to tell those people that he was still alive. He wanted them to be wary from the moment they entered the game, fearful that he would kill them one day.
"Ding… The current ID has already been registered. Please recreate the ID."
Chu Bai frowned.
"Huh?"
He was already "dead", but someone still snatched his ID?
Someone with Feng Ling?
There was no point, though. Feng Ling had already declared Bai Feng's death. There was no point in snatching his ID.
Who would be willing to wear such a special ID? Were they not asking for trouble?
How strange.
After a while, Chu Bai's lips moved slightly.
"Bai Ye."
"Ding… ID Bai Ye successfully created."
"Ding… Player Bai Ye, please choose a class. Current classes are Swordsman, Assassin, Priest, Archer, Mage, Summoner, Heavenly Shield."
Chu Bai said, "Swordsman."
He had only played the Swordsman class in the few games he had played before. He was familiar with it and did not intend to change it.
Swordsman was a class with balanced attributes in all aspects.
Assassins had high Agility and high Attack, but they were too fragile and rarely dealt AoE damage.
Priests were healers. Archers had high ATK and ranged attacks, but they were vulnerable in close combat. The Heavenly Shield was a textbook meat shield.
Moreover, Swordsmen did not have any fatal weaknesses, which was why many people liked to use this class.
"Ding… you have chosen the class of Swordsman. Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Ding… Detected that player Bai Ye has a piece of equipment that can be brought into Destiny as "Broken Glass". Do you want to bring it in?"
In front of Chu Bai appeared the Prayer's Glass that had saved his life in reality.
Chu Bai checked.
[Broken Glass]:
Grade: Holy Seal
Usage Requirements: Unknown
Owner: Bai Ye
Description: One of the seven ultimate hidden items of Destiny, said to be able to revive dead people
Current Status: Damaged
Repair Requirements: Unknown
Cannot be dropped, cannot be discarded, cannot be traded, cannot be stolen.
"Hmm?"
Chu Bai frowned.
This was something his girlfriend had given him. Perhaps it was a top-class item in one of the previous games, but how could it be an ultimate hidden item in Destiny?
Logically speaking, there should be a remark that it came from a previous game. Destiny had only been released now, after all.
Chu Bai had no idea.
"I'll bring it in."
Chu Bai gave his answer.
"Ding… Character registration complete."
"Ding… You have obtained the Talent Disc. Currently, you will be randomly assigned to a starter village. After entering the game, please use the Talent Disc to randomly draw talents."
This made Chu Bai curious.
None of the previous games had such a thing.
"Ding… Finally, player Bai Ye is reminded that the pain level in Destiny is 1%. Every player only has one chance to revive in Destiny. After the first death, their level will decrease by 1-5 levels. At most, five random pieces of equipment will be dropped. Complete death will cause all equipment to be dropped. I wish you a pleasant game."
This was something that every game implemented. Every player had a free chance to revive after entering the game.
A moment later, Chu Bai's vision turned white.
"Ding… You have entered Starter Village 77777."
A system notification sounded in his mind, and Chu Bai opened his eyes.
He was in a small village with a lot of trees. Around him were players who had just registered and dropped in from Blue Planet.
"F*ck! Talent Disc? Random talent draws? Give me an awesome talent! Please, please, please!"
"God Bai in Heaven bless me, bless me with an awesome talent!"
"If I get an awesome talent, I swear that I won't touch a woman for ten years! Anyway, I haven't touched one for twenty-five years. Ten more years is nothing."
"…"
The corner of Chu Bai's mouth twitched.
The first thing the surrounding players did after landing was to take out the Talent Disc and draw talents there.
Meanwhile, the first thing Chu Bai did was take out his mask and put it on.
The mask was a gift from the system. Men received masks, and women received veils.
Their appearance in the game was the same as their appearance in reality, and there was a camera function in the game. If anything he did was captured, everyone in the real world would know.
His wings were not fully grown yet. If someone wanted to kill him, they would not be able to do it in the game, but it would be an easy task in reality.
Then, with a thought, a compass-like item appeared in Chu Bai's hand.
[Talent Disc]: Players of Destiny can draw random talents. Talent levels range from low to high: E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS.
Chu Bai willed it into action.
"Begin extraction."
"Ding… The Talent Disc is drawing a random talent. Please wait a moment."
"Ding… congratulations on successfully drawing the Extreme Void Talent: Infinite Ultimate."
Chu Bai, "?"
"What? Extreme Void level?"
There was no Extreme Void listed in the levels of talents.
Was SSS not the greatest already? Could it be that SSS was equivalent to Extreme Void? Wait, no!
From Chu Bai's experience, these games were especially rigid with the way they did things. There was no way they would do something like this.
In the various games, equipment, items, and even monsters were divided into the grades of Steel, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Demon, Celestial, Heavenly, Divine Emperor, Super Divine Artifact (Super Divine Beast), Holy Annihilation, and Holy Seal.
Holy Seal was the highest grade. For example, the Evil Demon Lord was a Holy Seal Boss, while the Divine Armament Diagram was a Holy Seal item.
There was no Extreme Void.
"System, what is the Extreme Void?" Chu Bai asked.
"Ding… I don't know."
Chu Bai, "…"
How straightforward.
The players' cries came from the side.
"Ah—"
"F*ck! Ahhh! I'm f*cking having a mental breakdown! The crappiest Grade E talent, Overdose Health Recovery. Increases the amount of healing received by 2%. F*ck you! Do I look like I need your 2% health recovery?"
"Ahhh! Grade D talent, Block. Blocks 2% of the damage received, that's taking 2 points of damage less out of 100. This is a Grade D talent? Isn't this worse than Grade E? F*ck!"
"Ah! Does the system think that I've been single for 25 years and wants me to stop being single? I made an oath to not touch a woman for ten f*cking years in exchange for an awesome talent. And you gave me an E-grade. In that case, just give me a woman. Boohoo." 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝐨𝗺
"Holy crap! Grade A talent, Indestructible. In battle, the damage dealt to the enemy every five seconds can be recovered as the same amount in HP. Hell yeah!"
"Get out! I got a Grade S talent, Bloodthirst. A permanent passive skill that deals 10% damage to the enemy to heal myself. F*ck! Amazing!"
Hearing these words, many people were envious.
"F*ck! Kill them!"
"F*ck! Kill them!"
Then, a group of people instantly rushed over and surrounded those who had drawn good talents.
-0, -0, -0
The starter village had a protective mechanism. As long as you were in the village, you could not be harmed.
The pain level was only 1%. Those attackers were purely venting, and the people on the receiving end were lying there happily receiving punches and kicks!
They were ecstatic.
Chu Bai, on the other hand, glanced at his Extreme Void talent, Infinite Ultimate.
This talent sounded very impressive.
[Infinite Ultimate]: Extreme Void Level Talent
Passive Effect: Ignores levels, grades, and any special effects. Once a unit within sight uses his Ultimate, the player, Bai Ye, can directly obtain it. For one day, the player can unleash the Ultimate unlimitedly with their current attributes. The Ultimate has no cooldown and no mana consumption. You can only obtain one Ultimate from the same unit on the same day. (Note: All Ultimates obtained will disappear in ten seconds after combat.)
Active Effect: You can obtain a random Ultimate every day. This Ultimate can be used infinitely and is not affected by being out of battle. You can use the skills of other classes.
Chu Bai, "?"
Chapter 4
This Infinite Ultimate…
Was it not game-breaking?
As long as someone in Chu Bai's line of sight used his Ultimate, Chu Bai would be able to take it for himself. He could use it without limit with his current attributes for a day. If he did not use it right away, he could wait for over ten hours before using it. After all, he had a full day.
Once it was used, the Ultimate would disappear within ten seconds after leaving combat. However, this was not important. Once a fight started, the skill could be released infinitely, and it would be very difficult to leave the battle for ten seconds anyway.
Most importantly, if there were 100 people near Chu Bai who used their Ultimates, then he could obtain 100 ultimate skills. If 10,000 people used their Ultimates, then he could have 10,000 Ultimates. There was no upper limit.
If the fight dragged on, would he simply be invincible?
To top it off, he could obtain a true Ultimate that could be released without limit every day.
This Infinite Ultimate could also use the skills of other classes.
How crazy would it be for a Swordsman to be able to release a Mage's skill from afar?
"Ding… Congratulations on obtaining the skill Heavenly Lightning Break."
Chu Bai raised his eyebrows.
[Heavenly Lightning Break]: 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Requirements: Assassin
Accumulate power on the spot for one second, then smash it down on a spot up to ten meters in front of you, dealing damage to a maximum radius of ten meters. Deals damage of 3x of current Attack to all units within a five-meter radius of the center. Deals damage of 2x of current Attack to the outer area. There is a 10% chance of inflicting a three-second Paralysis effect and a 1% chance of dealing 10 times the damage. (Paralysis: Unable to move). Effect from Innate Talent Infinite Ultimate—No cooldown, no mana consumption. Remaining time: 23 hours, 59 minutes, 48 seconds.
Chu Bai, "…"
"Shall I try it?"
With that, Chu Bai quickly walked out of the village and arrived at the nearest place to farm monsters.
He glanced at his current equipment and attributes.
[Novice Clothes]: Grade: None, Equipment Requirement: None, Attribute: Defense +2
[Novice Pants]: Grade: None, Equipment Requirement: None, Attribute: Defense +2
[Novice Boots]: Grade: None, Equipment Requirement: None, Attribute: Speed +2
[Novice Longsword]: Grade: None, Equipment Requirement: None, Attribute: Attack +2
Character: Bai Ye
Level: 0
Title: None
Hunger: 100 (full)
Reputation: 0
Gold Coins: 0
Three fixed attributes: Luck: 10, Charm: 10, Intelligence: 10
Four basic attributes: Constitution 20 (Base 10), Spirit 50 (Base 10), Strength 30 (Base 10), Agility 20 (Base 10),
Health Points: 200 (Each Constitution point corresponds to 10 Health points and 2 Defense points)
Mana: 500 (Each Spirit point corresponds to 10 Mana Points and 2 Magic Attack points)
Attack Power: 62 (Each Strength point corresponds to 2 Attack Power points)
Magic Attack: 100
Defense: 44
Movement Speed: 42 (Each Agility point corresponds to 2 Movement Speed points)
Critical Chance: 0
Everyone in "Destiny" had different attributes. If you were strong in reality, you would be stronger here, meaning that your Attack Power would be higher.
"The Attack Power at Level 0 is 62. That's higher than any of my previous starts."
Chu Bai held the Novice Longsword and looked at the monsters.
There was a group of wild boars. They were the lowest-level monsters around. If you could perish at the hands of such monsters, you should forget about entering the game at all.
[Detection]: A player's basic class skill. You can check the attributes of monsters not higher than your level by 10. No mana consumption, no cooldown. Cannot level up.
[Bristled Boar]: Grade: None, Level: 1, Health Points: 180. A grumpy creature with relatively fast speed.
Skill: [Charge]: Increases speed by 50% and charges at a target, causing increased damage. If the hit is Critical, the damage will increase by 300%.
"Ding… Infinite Ultimate skill activated. You have obtained the Ultimate skill [Charge]."
"Ding… Infinite Ultimate skill activated. You have obtained the Ultimate skill [Swordsman Slash]."
"Ding… Infinite Ultimate skill activated. You have obtained the Ultimate skill [Fireball]."
"…"
There were already players fighting around him. Swordsman Slash was the basic skill of a Swordsman, and Fireball was the basic skill of a Fire Mage.
Now, Chu Bai could use them all.
However, he had more powerful moves at his disposal. Why would he need to use these?
Chu Bai looked at the few Bristled Boars in front of him.
"Heavenly Lightning Break!"
He gathered strength at one spot, and lightning coiled around his body.
Whoosh—
The next moment, Chu Bai leaped and smashed his sword in the direction of the Bristled Boar.
Boom—
With a loud bang, an area with a radius of ten meters was blasted by lightning.
-182
Apart from the few points of defense displayed by the Bristle Boar, a massive three-digit damage marker appeared.
A Bristled Boar was instantly killed.
Chu Bai did not hesitate.
"Heavenly Lightning Break!"
He accumulated another Heavenly Lightning Break and smashed it at another Bristled Boar not far away.
Boom—
"Heavenly Lightning Break!"
Boom—
"F*ck!?"
The huge commotion instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"What the f*ck? What's that? Why is that skill so powerful? I only have a Swordsman Slash that increases damage by 20%, but this guy can just blow things up and attack everything?"
"One-shotting a Bristled Boar with one attack? Damage above 180? My normal attack dealt slightly more than 20 damage, and this guy is one-shotting them?"
"F*ck!? Is there no cooldown? Are you even going to let others play?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They watched as Chu Bai leaped and smashed his sword down over and over. Lightning fell over a ten-meter radius, instantly killing the Bristled Boar in the center. After that, he gathered strength at one spot and jumped again, smashing to the other side.
"Are you bouncing like Tigger here?"
A moment later, they saw a golden light flash on Chu Bai's body. He had leveled up.
"Ding… Your level has increased to Level 1. Health Points +10, Mana +10. You have received 5 points to freely distribute among your attributes."
Chu Bai paused.
The free distribution of attribute points was for the four basic attributes. Without thinking, Chu Bai promptly added the points to his Attack Power. His Attack Power instantly increased by ten points, reaching 72.
"He leveled up just like that?"
"I've been fighting one monster for a few minutes now, and I still have to constantly circle around it and dodge. But this guy… F*ck!"
"I'm done with farming. Let's see how many more times you can use this skill!"
"…"
Continue!
Boom—
Boom—
Everyone was speechless.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"This is a talent drawn from the Talent Disc, right? Could it be that the skill has no cooldown? Isn't this an SSS-level talent?"
"What the f*ck? Where did this awesome skill of his come from? Did he do any rare missions?"
"I'm so jealous! F*ck! Ahhh!"
"Bai Ye? I can tell that you're a fan of God Bai, but I'm also a fan of his. Why did I draw the talent Block?"
"…"
Chu Bai did not stop killing monsters. He continued to use his Infinite Ultimate, Heavenly Lightning Break, to quickly decimate the monsters.
Not far away, a group of two people walked over.
"Tian Yu, the farming spot of the novice monster Bristled Boar is up ahead."
When the player with the ID "Old Dream Tian Yu" heard this, he said, "We're not spawning any new monsters. I've checked the map. Other than the unexplored area, there's also a blood-colored swamp in front of us. It's filled with Level 5 monsters. We have to quickly get to Level 10 and leave the starter village to go to the real Land of Destiny."
Old Dream Tian Yu and Tian Xing were elders of the Feng Ling Dynasty.
They were also participants in the operation to kill Chu Bai.
Chapter 5
Tian Xing was stunned when he heard Old Dream Tian Yu's words.
"What? We're all Level 0. How can we kill Level 5 monsters?"
Old Dream Tian Yu laughed. He reached out and revealed a red gem in his hand.
"Power Gem."
Tian Xing was shocked when he saw this.
"Yes! A Power Gem that doubles the damage output."
This was from the pile of items that Chu Bai had dropped after he died in The World.
"And this."
Next, a few beads appeared in his hand.
"Fire Beads?" 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Old Dream Tian Yu nodded. "That's right! Each of them deals a fixed explosive damage of 10,000. There are a total of five of them. They're all taken from the equipment that Bai Feng dropped back then. Even if you encounter a difficult Boss in the starter village, you can instantly kill it and even get the First Kill. You must have a lot of good stuff too, right?"
Tian Xing smiled and said, "I just have a Divine Emperor weapon, but there are requirements to use it. You have to be level 50 to equip it."
"Bai Feng's death was totally worth it. He left us so much wealth. Damn it! Can he even finish using all the treasures he left behind by himself? F*ck!"
Tian Xing cursed.
Old Dream Tian Yu whispered, "Don't mention this anymore. Keep it to yourself. If you let it slip, you'll be dead."
"Yeah."
Suddenly, a player shouted in panic, attracting everyone's attention.
"F*ck, there's a Boss!"
The two of them looked over.
A wolf that was more than five meters long had broken through the Boars and was attacking the players at an extremely fast pace.
-269
-287
"Ah—"
One by one, the players were instantly killed. Their only chance to revive was used up, and their bodies turned into white light as they returned to the revival point.
"A Level 8 Bronze Boss! This early?" Tian Xing frowned and said in surprise.
Monsters were divided into Steel, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Demon, Celestial, Heavenly, Divine Emperor, Holy Annihilation, and Holy Seal. When monsters reached the Celestial tier, they would automatically be regarded as a Boss. Even if they were Level 0, they would still be a Boss.
Below Celestial, even Level 100 monsters could be divided into either normal monsters and Bosses. For context, the difference in attributes between a Level 10 Bronze monster and a Level 10 Bronze Boss was dozens of times.
Bosses were always popular in the eyes of all players, especially in the early stages of the Starter Village. A Bronze Boss could only be chanced upon by luck.
"3,800 HP. Just blow it up with a Fire Bead," said Tian Xing.
"No need. There's no need to use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken. We are definitely the first players to encounter a Bronze Boss so early." Old Dream Tian Yu shouted, "Are there any members from Feng Ling Dynasty? I am Feng Ling Dynasty's White Tiger Hall Master, Old Dream Tian Yu. Team up with me to kill the Boss."
A loud shout instantly attracted more than ten players.
"Brother!"
"Brother Yu, I am Bai Mo. Do you still remember me?"
"Brother Yu, I'm here!"
"Hall Master, I'm here too!"
"…"
They did not have a Guild Building Order at the moment, so the Feng Ling Dynasty was not fully established yet. However, they all belonged to the Feng Ling Dynasty, so it was a good thing to have an organization in the starter village.
Not far away, Chu Bai heard the voice and looked over.
"Old Dream Tian Yu! Tian Xing!"
When he saw the two of them, he narrowed their eyes slightly before a playful smile appeared on his lips.
"What a coincidence."
Old Dream Tian Yu was saying, "Listen up, you three Heavenly Shields guard the front when your skills are up. The Bronze Boss can't be killed in one hit, so give us some space to attack. When your health is low, run away. Priests are on healing duty. Mages and Archers attack from afar. Tian Xing and I will be the main damage dealers!"
"Yes!"
Then, they rushed toward the Bronze Boss together.
-87
After seeing the damage, the Old Dream Tian Yu was very satisfied.
At Level 0 in the early stages, the damage he dealt to a Level 8 Bronze Boss was still impressive.
Power Gems were indeed powerful.
Old Dream Tian Yu's attack did not exceed 100 damage, but it had already caused everyone to exclaim.
"F*ck! As expected of the White Tiger Hall Master of the Feng Ling Dynasty, Old Dream Tian Yu. My attack landed on the Bronze Boss and only dealt 10 points of damage. But he did 87 points in one shot."
"Boss! I'm also a member of the Feng Ling Dynasty. I'm coming too!"
"Is the Bai Feng Alliance considered a part of the Feng Ling Dynasty? Didn't Feng Ling say that he wanted to establish the Bai Feng Alliance in Destiny? I want to join. Can I follow him now?"
"…"
For a period, a large number of players joined the battle to annihilate the Boss. The Boss's HP dropped very quickly.
"He's low on health, he's low on health!"
Everyone was extremely excited when they saw the Boss's low health.
As for the Old Dream Tian Yu, he naturally had to take down the Boss by himself.
Whoever killed the Boss would get the EXP. Also, any items dropped could only be picked up by that person.
If they formed a team, however, the EXP would be divided equally, and the drops could be picked up by any of the team members.
"Swordsman Slash!"
When Old Dream Tian Yu saw that the Boss only had 100 HP left, he used a Swordsman Slash that would deal over 100 damage to the Bronze Boss.
However…
Boom—
Suddenly, a blue flash followed by lightning rushed toward the Bronze Boss faster than he could.
-181
The Bronze Boss turned into a ray of light and disappeared before his eyes, leaving behind a pile of equipment on the ground.
Old Dream Tian Yu, meanwhile, was struck by the AoE damage. A damage marker of -121 appeared above his head and he was sent flying.
Old Dream Tian Yu, "?"
'What?'
Chapter 6
Chapter 6: Enemies Meet
This scene happened so quickly that no one could react.
By the time they reacted, the Boss had been killed, and Old Dream Tian Yu was still standing there with low health.
Chu Bai's body emitted two rays of golden light, and his level instantly reached level three.
The system notifications kept ringing in his mind.
"Ding… Congratulations on leveling up to Level 3. Health Points +10, Mana Points +10. You have received 5 points to freely distribute among attributes."
"Ding… congratulations on killing the Bronze Boss. Reputation +1,000."
"Ding… congratulations on your first kill of the Bronze Boss. The system will release three worldwide announcements. Do you want to hide your ID?"
Chu Bai picked up the equipment while saying indifferently, "Don't hide it. Send it ten times."
The system, "?"
"Ding… Attention all players. Player [Bai Ye] from Starter Village #77777 has achieved the first kill of the Bronze Boss. This is the announcement."
"Ding… Attention all players. Player [Bai Ye] from Starter Village #77777 has achieved the first kill of the Bronze Boss. This is the announcement."
"Ding…"
"…"
"Ding…"
Everyone was speechless.
Sino Nation.
"F*ck! It's only been half an hour since the server opened, and a Bronze Boss has already been killed?"
"Boss! F*cking awesome!"
"Bai Ye? Looks like a fan of God Bai, right? God Bai's fans are as awesome as God Bai!"
"…"
Sakura Nation
"What? It's Sino again! Damn it! The First Clear of the Bronze Boss has been snatched by Sino again."
"It doesn't matter. It's just the First Clear of a Bronze Boss. We just need to get the First Clear of a higher-level Boss. Moreover, Bai Feng is dead in the Sino warzone. Their combat power has decreased a lot! There's nothing to be afraid of."
…
Simida Nation.
"The Sino warzone again? Hmph! We can't let the Sino warzone continue to be full of itself. So what if they get the First Clear? Without Bai Feng, so what if they get the First Clear of the Bronze Boss?"
…
After Chu Bai picked up the equipment, he glanced at Old Dream Tian Yu and even waved the bronze weapon he had just picked up at him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Thanks."
Crack! Crack!
Old Dream Tian Yu, Tian Xing, and the others were infuriated.
"F*ck you! How dare you steal my monster? You're asking for death!"
Old Dream Tian Yu gritted his teeth.
"Go! Destroy him!"
However…
No one listened to him. Even though he was the Hall Leader of the Feng Ling Dynasty, none of the members went up.
F*ck! They had clearly seen how this guy killed the monsters just now. Who dared to go?
"Are you deaf? Go."
Old Dream Tian Yu promptly slapped a player beside him.
"Brother Yu, I don't dare."
"F*ck! Do you believe I'll kill you first if you don't go?" Old Dream Tian Yu snarled.
Then, he shouted, "People from the Feng Ling Dynasty, I'll say it again. Kill him with me!"
With that, Old Dream Tian Yu held his sword and charged toward Chu Bai.
He did not care if his health was low or not. The most important thing now was to kill this creature that dared to snatch his monster.
He remembered the Flame Bead, but did not want to use it. He felt that with so many people on his side, it would be easy to kill a player who had just entered the game.
There was no need to use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. Moreover, his combat skills were very strong.
More importantly, he wanted to kill this person with his hands.
Also, he had seen the skill the player had cast just now. Such a powerful skill clearly had a long cooldown.
"Damn it! Who dares to provoke me? Kill them!" Tian Xing also shouted angrily.
Then, more than ten people rushed toward Chu Bai.
Chu Bai held the Novice Sword in his hand, and lightning wrapped around his body.
"Heavenly Lightning Break!"
Then, Chu Bai jumped toward the crowd.
They all only had one basic skill. Facing Chu Bai's powerful ultimate move, who could block it? Would they not just be cannon fodder?
Boom—
With a loud bang, six people within the range were instantly killed.
Old Dream Tian Yu, who was the first to bear the brunt, did not even have time to do anything before his HP bar was emptied. A pile of items exploded on the ground.
Although their physical bodies were in the game, the game had its own rules and regulations. The system restricted everything. Even if they were to be blown up and turned into flesh and blood, they would be revived safely.
"F*ck, what's this? Such a powerful skill only took a few seconds to cool down?"
Tian Xing, who had survived, was dumbfounded.
Then… he watched helplessly as Chu Bai stood up. Lightning was still wrapped around his body as he raised his head and stared at him.
What was with that gaze and that mocking and even somewhat cruel smile?
Whoosh—
Then, he saw Chu Bai gather strength on the spot for a second and jump toward him.
Tian Xing, "?"
His subconscious reaction was to run, but…
The range of the Heavenly Lightning Break skill was too large. He could not escape at all. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚
The AoE damage hit him and he was sent flying. However, the damage in the edge area was only two times the damage. Tian Xing had high overall stats; his defense and HP were much higher than ordinary players. He did not die instantly but only had 18 HP left.
However, before Tian Xing could get up from the ground, he suddenly felt a foot stepping on his back.
"Don't… don't…"
Tian Xing lay there, not daring to look back. He begged for mercy in fear.
Although he had a chance to revive, the game might last for a few years. He could only revive once. Without this chance, he would have to be very careful in the future. He could not bear to lose his only chance to revive.
The corners of Chu Bai's mouth curled up. He stepped on his back and said indifferently, "Enjoy the days of fleeing in the novice village."
With that, Chu Bai exerted force with his feet.
-18
"Ah—"
With a scream, Tian Xing turned into a ray of light and revived, leaving behind the equipment that had dropped on the ground.
The player's HP was less than 1%, and the pain received was 100%, including the moment they were killed.
Chu Bai picked up the equipment that had fallen to the ground.
"Strength Gem, Flame Bead, Blood Weeping Demon Sword."
Chapter 7
Looking at the equipment and items that originally belonged to him, Chu Bai's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Just wait. I'll settle all the scores. I'll take back everything that belonged to me in the first place, even if it's just some trash props."
After that, Chu Bai glanced at the other players of the Feng Ling Dynasty.
They gulped and retreated in fear.
"You… You're dead! You've picked a fight with the Feng Ling Dynasty. Let me tell you, you… You can forget about getting out alive!"
A person pointed at Chu Bai and spoke in fear.
"That's right! There are at least 5,000 Feng Ling Dynasty players in this Starter Village alone. You… you can just wait for your death."
Although their words were quite harsh, their tone and stutter betrayed their fear.
Chu Bai only glanced at them, then turned around and walked toward the starter village.
The players breathed a sigh of relief.
However…
Chu Bai, who was already walking away, promptly threw a Flame Bead at them.
Boom—
"Ah—"
With a loud bang, an area of dozens of meters exploded.
-10,000
-10,000
They were all killed instantly. 𝑏𝘦𝑑𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Some of the surviving players ran to the Bronze Boss's corpse and kept activating "Gather", checking if there was anything on the Boss that they could still collect. Unfortunately, there was nothing.
Resurrection point…
Old Dream Tian Yu and Tian Xing revived one after another.
Crack! Crack!
Seeing that all his nice equipment had been dropped, Old Dream Tian Yu clenched his fists into tight balls, his eyes flashing red.
"F*ck! My Divine Emperor weapon has been destroyed! F*ck!"
Tian Xing gritted his teeth.
"Bai Ye! I'll kill you!" Old Meng Tian Yu roared.
As a reputable figure and a veteran, how could he not be furious that he was killed by an unknown kid in front of so many people?
Now, in the starter village, he did not want to do anything else. He had to kill this person, no matter what! Since it was not reality, he could do whatever he wanted!
"Gather all the members of the Feng Ling Dynasty in Starter Village 77777 and kill him!"
…
Meanwhile, Chu Bai went to the pharmacy.
He did not have much HP left right now, and the monsters did not drop any HP Potions, so he had no choice but to buy them.
Although he did not lose a single HP point from killing the monsters, he had just waged war against multiple players. Some of their long-range attacks still landed on him. Although each attack only dealt a dozen or so damage—no more than 20 damage— he still lost more than half of his HP after being struck a few times.
He was also tired.
Infinite Ultimate was very impressive, but it was still a normal physical body he was using. Theoretically, he could release the Ultimates infinitely, but it would be tiring.
His Hunger Bar had dropped to 60 points. He had to eat something and buy some HP Potions while looking for some missions.
Starter Village Pharmacy.
There was no one in the pharmacy because the players had just entered not long ago and no one had the money to buy HP Potions and Mana Recovery Potions. They could only rely on getting them from drops.
The Gold Coin Exchange System had yet to be activated.
Chu Bai already had 2 silver coins.
In the early stages of the game, even copper coins were very difficult to get. Essentially, if you wanted to earn money, you would have to do missions.
Of the two silver coins, half of that value was dropped from killing the Bristled Boars, where the cumulative value was converted into a silver coin. The other silver coin was dropped by the Bronze Boss.
10 bronze coins = 1 silver coin
10 silver coins = 1 gold coin
1 gold coin was equivalent to 100 yuan.
In the early stages of the game, before the Real Currency Exchange System was activated, it was very difficult to obtain a gold coin.
"Honorable adventurer from another world, is there anything you need?"
The pharmacy owner greeted Chu Bai with a smile.
Chu Bai glanced at the wares.
[Amo Beilin Capsule]: Restores 50 HP immediately after use. Cooldown: 5 seconds. Price: 5 bronze coins.
[Small HP Potion]: Restores 100 HP immediately after use. Cooldown: 5 seconds. Price: 1 silver coin.
[Medium HP Potion]: Restores 200 HP immediately after use. Cooldown: 5 seconds. Price: 1.5 silver coins.
Chu Bai took out two silver coins and said, "A bottle of Medium HP potion."
The boss handed Chu Bai the recovery potion and said, "I'll give 5 copper coins in change."
However, after he looked in the drawer, he raised his head to look at Chu Bai apologetically. "I'm very sorry. The shop has just opened for business. We don't have any copper coins. You can take an Amo Beilin Capsule. Its worth is exactly five copper coins."
Chu Bai shook his head. "I don't want it. I just want the five copper coins."
He still needed the five copper coins to buy two buns from the village.
"This… I'm sorry, I really don't have any change here. Why don't you take a Small HP Potion? This is one worth a silver coin."
Chu Bai still shook his head. "I only want the five bronze coins."
"How about this? I'll give you another Medium HP Potion. The two of them would cost three silver coins. I'll only charge you two silver coins. How about that?"
The owner continued asking.
Chu Bai still shook his head. "I only need one recovery potion."
The boss scratched his head.
"Alright, alright, alright. I'll give back you the money. Just take this Medium HP Potion as a gift from me, okay?"
He returned the two silver coins to Chu Bai.
Chu Bai took the money and held the Medium HP Potion in his hand. Then, he looked at the silver coins in his hand…
He silently handed the two silver coins back to the owner.
"I'll buy another Medium HP Potion."
Owner, "?"
"Do you f*cking think I'm a bug?"
Chapter 8
Chu Bai left the pharmacy and went straight to the bun shop in the starter village.
At the same time, he wanted to accept two missions. Of course, it would be best if there was an HP Potion as a reward. After all, he probably would not be able to go to this pharmacy again in the future.
On the way over, Chu Bai took a look at the rewards he got from killing the Bronze Boss.
His luck was pretty good. The Boss had actually dropped a Bronze Artifact.
[Wolf King Armor:
Grade: Bronze
Usage Requirement: Level 0, any Class.
Equipment dropped by the Bronze Boss, Gray Wolf King. Possesses a certain level of Defense and Cold Resistance.
Attributes: HP +180, Defense +15, all damage received reduced by 1%.]
A Level 5 Bronze Armament was considered a good specimen for Bronze Equipment. After all, in the early stages of the game, even the Level 3 Chu Bai only had 230 HP. This equipment directly added a full 180 HP.
Chu Bai equipped the Wolf King Armor, and his HP reached 410.
Other than that, there was another item.
It was a purple bracelet.
[Amethyst Bracelet
Grade: None
An accessory that is not expensive and does not have any additional attributes. It was a birthday gift from the village chief to his wife and was accidentally lost in the wilderness. The Gray Wolf King accidentally picked it up and kept it by his side because he liked its fragrance.]
"Oh? The village chief's wife's jewelry?"
Chu Bai raised his eyebrows.
According to his experience, something like this might trigger a hidden mission.
Carrying the Amethyst Necklace, Chu Bai first bought some buns before walking toward the village chief's courtyard.
In the courtyard, many players were here to accept missions.
Generally speaking, the first place to go in the starter village was the village chief's abode. The village chief's place would definitely have a hidden mission. All that mattered was who would be able to trigger it.
The village chief's courtyard was especially crowded.
"Don't push, don't push. F*ck, who's squishing me?"
"Stop squeezing. My bra is going to be pinched off."
"F*ck! Who f*cking touched me?"
"…"
After some time, Chu Bai finally arrived before the village chief.
"Brave adventurer from another world, how can I help you?"
The village chief looked at Chu Bai as he asked the question.
Chu Bai directly took out the amethyst bracelet.
"I picked this up. I was wondering if it belongs to the village chief?"
When the village chief saw the amethyst bracelet, his entire body trembled.
"My wife's amethyst bracelet!"
He reached out his trembling hand to take the bracelet.
The surrounding players were shocked.
"F*ck! Where did that guy get that bracelet? Did he trigger a hidden mission?"
"Bai Ye? Oh my god, that's the great Bai Ye who killed the Bronze Boss?"
"What first kill? He stole that monster from the Feng Ling Dynasty."
"Village chief, I just picked up a bra on the ground. Is it your wife's?"
"…"
The village chief looked at Chu Bai gratefully.
"Brave adventurer from another world, thank you very much for giving me my wife's bracelet. Please come with me to the inner room."
After that, Chu Bai followed the village chief into the house.
The other players watched helplessly as Chu Bai triggered the hidden mission.
Not far away.
"Boss, that Bai Ye guy seems to have triggered a hidden mission at the village chief's place."
A few of them ran to the side of the Old Dream Tian Yu.
"F*ck! Where is everyone? Have they gathered?"
"The gathering is complete. There are a total of 320 people."
Old Dream Tian Yu's eyes flickered with darkness.
"When he leaves the village, kill him."
"Yes!"
Tian Xing walked to Old Dream Tian Yu's side and said in a voice low enough that only he could hear, "Your Flame Beads were taken by him. He used one and there are still four left. Each has a range of forty meters. We can kill more than three hundred and twenty people with that."
"What's there to be afraid of? Just spread out. If dozens of people hit him, wouldn't his little bit of remaining health be gone?"
"True."
Old Dream Tian Yu said, "But we have to be careful. We've already died once. It's fine as long as we stay far away."
In the inner room of the village chief.
The village chief carefully wrapped the bracelet and looked at Chu Bai.
"Brother Bai Ye, thank you very much!" He held Chu Bai's hand and said gratefully.
"It was just the right thing to do," Chu Bai replied.
Then, the village chief took out a scroll and handed it to Chu Bai.
"This is a secret manual I accidentally picked up when I was gathering herbs in the wild 15 years ago. It's too profound for my understanding. Please take it as my showing of gratitude."
Chu Bai took it.
"Ding… You have obtained Ode of the Phoenix."
[Ode of the Phoenix]:
An extremely rare skill. Usage Requirement: None.
[Description: A skill exclusive to the Phoenix lineage. It possesses a terrifyingly destructive power of fire. Ode of the Phoenix can even destroy the world. There are a total of nine skills.]
Chu Bai, "…"
F*ck!
In this game, the definition of skills was not as clear as equipment and monsters. To players, the higher the level requirement for a skill was, the more powerful the skill was.
For example, the skills that were obtained from level 50 and level 80 were all very powerful. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚
The skills can be roughly defined as basic skills, intermediate skills, and advanced skills.
Advanced skills were classified at Level 50 of Rank 2, and Level 80 of Rank 3. They were powerful skills that every class could obtain.
It was rare to see something even more powerful than advanced skills.
Chu Bai was not sure how powerful this Ode of the Phoenix was, but this introduction about destroying the world… was it not exaggerating?
Moreover, the lack of a level requirement was the most ridiculous part.
"Thank you, Village Chief."
"You're too kind." The village chief poured a cup of tea for Chu Bai.
"My wife left after arguing with me, but I didn't expect to never hear from her again. I suppose something bad must have happened to her, but I still have a trace of hope. I miss her so much. Brother Bai Ye, the place she disappeared is called the Dark Abyss. Can you help me go and see if I can find her there? If you bring me news of my wife, I will be eternally grateful to you."
"Ding… Congratulations on triggering the hidden mission "Finding News of the Village Chief's Wife".
Mission Reward: Unknown.
Mission Duration: 7 days.
Do you accept?"
Chu Bai nodded. "No problem. I'll go now."
"Ding… You have accepted."
"Thank you! Thank you very much!"
Chu Bai said, "It's just that… the Dark Abyss is a location that I've never set foot on before. I don't have any HP Potions on me, so it's really difficult for me to travel…"
"That's easy."
The village chief promptly took out ten bottles of potions from the cabinet and handed them to Chu Bai.
"It's useless for me to keep these. Please accept them."
Chu Bai took them.
"Ding… You have obtained Medium HP Potion*10."
Chu Bai had done this many times in The World, but Destiny felt more realistic than The World.
"There are also these 100 gold coins. I live alone anyway. Please take them too."
"Thank you, Village Chief. I'll go now."
"Remember to be careful. It is said that no one can walk out of the depths of the Dark Abyss alive. That's also a taboo in the village. If you encounter danger, return quickly. Don't go too deep."
Chu Bai nodded and left the village.
After Chu Bai left, dozens of people secretly followed him from all directions.
Chu Bai took out the Ode of the Phoenix skill book and crushed it.
"Ding… You have successfully learned the skill Ode of the Phoenix."
[Ode of the Phoenix]:
An extremely rare skill. Requirements: None
Description: A skill exclusive to the Phoenix lineage. It possesses a terrifyingly destructive power of fire. The Ode of the Phoenix can even destroy the world. There are a total of nine skills. Each skill is stronger than the last. The ultimate skill is the Nine Heavens of the Phoenix.
First Skill: Sky Dance:
[Summons a phoenix phantom at a selected 30-meter radius. Raises a pillar of flames and deals damage of 10x current Attack Power to all enemies within the range, with an additional 10 seconds of Burning effect. (Burn: loses HP every second). Then, the phoenix phantom attacks, dealing damage of 20x current Attack Power to all enemies within a 100-meter radius. At the same time, it adds 10 seconds of burning effect, with an additional 5% Instant Death effect. Mana cost: 500. Cooldown: 1 day.
The second skill is activated at Level 10.]
Chu Bai, "?"
Chapter 9
After playing the games for so many years, he had never encountered a skill of this level in the early stages of the game!
This was only the first of the nine moves of the Ode of the Phoenix. The subsequent moves were stronger than the previous one…
Was this first move already so terrifying?
Ten times the damage, twenty times the damage…
Doing double the damage was already very rare. A Swordsman's basic skill, Swordsman Slash, only dealt 120% damage.
The most terrifying thing was the last attribute…
Instant death!
This was the most broken skill in any game!
Death was instantaneous. It disregarded levels, grades, and everything else. As long as it was triggered, the target would be instantly killed!
What did this mean?
For example, if a Level 0 Chu Bai faced a Level 100 Holy Seal Boss with tens or hundreds of billions of HP, a normal Chu Bai could only deal 1 mandatory damage.
However, if this instant death was triggered…
He would empty the target's HP bar.
After playing games for so many years, Chu Bai had only come into contact with a 1% Instant Death skill once in The World. Now…
Only "f*ck" could describe Chu Bai's thoughts.
…
Outside the village.
Chu Bai had just walked to the Bristled Boar's farming spot when the players who seemed to be farming suddenly began to gather around him.
Chu Bai naturally noticed this situation.
Old Dream Tian Yu stood in the distance and looked at Chu Bai, his eyes vicious.
"Bai Ye, I told you that if you provoke me, you will die!"
Chu Bai laughed.
"You're so ruthless. Why don't you come closer?"
"F*ck!" he cursed.
Damn it!
He did not dare!
The Flame Bead was with that guy. He would die if he threw it at him.
"F*ck you! Brothers, whoever kills Bai Ye today, log off and come to Jingdu to find me. The reward is 100,000 yuan!" Old Dream Tian Yu.
With such a lefty reward, there would definitely be brave men showing up. Even though they were afraid of Chu Bai, there were more than a hundred people gathered around them. They mustered up enough courage.
"Kill!"
"Kill him!"
"How dare you provoke the Feng Ling Dynasty? You're courting death!"
"…"
Everyone charged toward Chu Bai from all directions, while the ranged classes aimed at Chu Bai. Their skills, bows, and arrows mercilessly shot toward Chu Bai.
There was nowhere to hide.
When Old Dream Tian Yu saw this, he revealed a cold smile.
'Screw you! How dare you pick a fight with me?'
However…
Just as he thought Chu Bai had nowhere to hide, Chu Bai's body suddenly burst into flames, and the phantom of a phoenix appeared behind him.
"I'll use you guys to test out my moves. Sky Dance!"
Chu Bai leaped into the air.
Everyone, "..."
"What is this?"
They were dumbfounded.
'Bro, you've just entered the game for little more than an hour. How can you have a skill that looks like it can only be seen in Bosses and top NPC powerhouses in the later stages of the game?'
Old Dream Tian Yu was stunned on the spot.
Run!
With his vast experience, his subconscious reaction was to run!
Melee players could not touch Chu Bai, and long-range attacks could not reach him either. The height was too high.
Chu Bai wanted to choose where Old Dream Tian Yu was, but the man was too cautious. He was so far away after running away that he was out of range.
Chu Bai could only choose a spot with a dense crowd.
Boom—
Suddenly, a pillar of flames within a 30-meter radius rose into the sky.
-1810, -1811, -1809
With Chu Bai's 92 Attack Power, ten times damage was more than 900. However, because Chu Bai had a Strength Gem, his passive skill doubled the damage, directly breaking the damage number by four digits.
"Ah—"
With a series of screams, all the players in that area were instantly killed.
As for whether someone would really die…
After so many years in the game, this was no longer something to consider. All the players had already gotten used to the idea of death.
Gulp—
Those who survived could not help but gulp. Their backs were drenched in cold sweat.
"Run!"
"Run! What is that thing?"
"How can someone who just entered the game have such a skill?! Ah! Run!"
"What the f*ck? A four-digit damage output? F*ck you, f*cking game!"
"…"
Everyone fled in panic.
Sky Dance still had a second attack.
Chu Bai controlled the phoenix phantom.
Whoosh—
The huge phoenix phantom rushed over at an extremely fast speed.
The 100-meter radius instantly turned into a sea of fire, and all the players turned into dust.
Chu Bai landed on the ground.
Many other players were stunned when they saw this scene. Some players who were farming monsters did not even notice that they had been attacked by the Bristle Boars.
They turned around and looked at their novice weapons. They looked at the tens of damage points they had landed on the monster and suddenly felt that life had lost its meaning.
As for those fire-attribute mages, when they saw how their small fireballs were compared to the Phoenix Sea of Fire…
They silently put away their staffs and went offline.
'I'm not playing anymore.'
'Trash game.'
"F*ck! What is this?"
Old Dream Tian Yu, who had run far away, gulped as his entire body trembled.
What kind of player could do this when they just entered the game?
Some of the surviving players from the Feng Ling Dynasty ran away, while others did not even dare to run and knelt down before Chu Bai.
"Big Brother! Big Brother, spare me! I was forced into this. I didn't dare to disobey."
"That's right, Guru! How would we ever dare to go against you?! Spare me! Spare me."
"…"
Chu Bai looked at Old Dream Tian Yu, who had already run back to the village, and the corners of his mouth revealed a mocking smile.
There was really nothing he could do once he entered the village. After all, the village was invincible, but…
Chu Bai looked at those people and then took out the divine weapon Blood Weeping Demon Sword.
"F*ck! Blood Weeping Demon Sword! Isn't this the sword that was on the World Rankings?"
When the players in the distance saw this, they were all shocked.
"Isn't this God Bai's weapon? Why is it in Bai Ye's hands?"
"It seems to be from Tian Xing. God Bai is dead and he left all his things to Feng Ling. There are too many of them. Feng Ling must have given them to some of the core members of the Feng Ling Dynasty, right? After all, Tian Xing is one of them."
"…"
Chu Bai then said, "Whoever kills Tian Xing or Old Dream Tian Yu, I will give this Blood Weeping Demon Sword to that person. I am a man of my word."
Everyone, "..."
"F*ck! Is this for real? This is a Divine Armament! I've played the game for eight years and I've never had a weapon of Divine Emperor grade. Is he really giving it away?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
"How is that possible? It must be a trick. That's a Divine Emperor Weapon. How can he give it away so casually? Ha, it must be fake."
"Do you want to try? What if it's true? That's a Divine Armament."
"Who dares to try? That's the Old Dream Tian Yu and Tian Xing."
"But… Don't forget that this is only the early stages of the game. Even if they are famous veterans, their stats are not much different from ours…"
"…"
Chu Bai did not say anything more and walked straight into the Dark Abyss.
In the starter village, Old Dream Tian Yu was with Tian Xing.
"F*ck! How can he have such a powerful move?"
"It's probably a hidden mission from the village chief! This skill must be a big move after the third level-up, right?"
They were extremely jealous.
"The cooldown must be very long. I believe it'll take a few days to cool down. There's still a chance! Gather more people. We have to kill him! Maybe we can get a skill book."
At this moment, a system notification suddenly sounded.
"Ding… Player Bai Ye has released an announcement for Starter Village 77777. Announcement Content: I am Bai Ye. My announcement is very simple. If you kill Tian Xing or the Old Dream Tian Yu, I will give you his Divine Armament, the Weeping Blood Demon Sword."
Everyone, "?"
Old Dream Tian Yu, "?"
Tian Xing, "?"
Chapter 10
As soon as this announcement was made, the entire Starter Village of 77777 exploded!
"F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!? This Bai Ye is so ruthless! Oh my god!"
"I thought he was bragging. Now that the system announcement has been released, it's obviously not a joke. A system announcement is equivalent to swearing an oath to the system. If someone makes an announcement but doesn't fulfill his promise in it, he will be severely punished!"
"Blood Weeping Demon Sword! Blood Weeping Demon Sword! F*ck! Where's the Old Dream Tian Yu? Where's Tian Xing?"
"Quick! Go find them!"
"…"
Old Dream Tian Yu and Tian Xing were indeed very powerful, and their latent strength was also strong, but…
After all, it was still the early stages of the game. Everyone's stats were about the same!
Now, they were being treated like wanted criminals.
Who could resist the temptation of the Divine Emperor Weapon that could change their lives?
That was a Divine Emperor Weapon! With this weapon, one could become a billionaire just by selling it!
With the lure of a hefty reward, there would definitely be brave men showing up. Even if they were afraid, this was their closest chance to becoming a billionaire!
Putting aside the normal players, even the members of the Feng Ling Dynasty might not be able to control themselves.
Old Dream Tian Yu and Tian Xing instantly broke out in cold a sweat.
They looked warily at the people around them.
They felt that everyone was looking at them strangely.
When some people saw them looking over, their eyes immediately avoided them. This kind of reaction made them feel even more afraid.
"Why are you avoiding my look?"
Tian Xing grabbed the arm of a member of the Feng Ling Dynasty and snarled at him.
"Huh? I… I didn't."
The member hurriedly shook his head.
"F*ck! Are you trying to kill me?"
Tian Xing slapped him.
The player who was slapped took a few steps back. His eyes were suddenly filled with ruthlessness as he shouted, "Old Dream Tian Yu and Tian Xing are with me! Come quickly!"
Hearing the commotion, many people nearby quickly ran over!
"Run!"
Old Dream Tian Yu and Tian Xing quickly ran toward a deserted place in the village.
The two of them ran into an empty haystack and squatted down.
"Damn it! That Bai Ye, f*ck! I'll kill him!"
Old Dream Tian Yu gritted his teeth!
"Who'd have thought he would offer a Divine Emperor Weapon? That lunatic! Lunatic!"
Tian Xing hammered the ground.
"What should we do? We can't even leave the village. Once we are targeted by the players, we will surely die! But we still have to level up."
Old Dream Tian Yu said, "We can only go to places where there are no players. Let's wait for a little and hide our IDs first. We'll wear a mask."
"That's the only way. Even if we're safe in the village, we could be caught by a group of people and forcefully dragged out of the village, then we'll be in danger…" Tian Xing said bitterly.
"F*ck! Dammit! I'll kill that guy!" Old Dream Tian Yu gritted his teeth, his face filled with anger.
At this moment, his face was suddenly splashed with water.
Old Dream Tian Yu subconsciously wiped it, then put his hand in front of his nose and sniffed.
"F*ck! Who the f*ck is peeing?"
Old Dream Tian Yu stood up angrily from the bushes.
The player immediately pulled up his pants and looked at him.
"Old Dream Tian Yu is here! I just pissed on him. Someone come quickly!"
The two of them were shocked and quickly ran away.
"After him!"
For a moment, many players stopped whatever they were doing and chased after the two of them.
The two had no choice but to log off.
…
Meanwhile, Chu Bai had already arrived at the Dark Abyss.
The system announcement back at the village cost 100 gold coins. Chu Bai was not stingy and spent the money.
Even though they were enemies, there was nothing Chu Bai could do to them even if he hid in the starter village. In addition, Chu Bai did not have that much time. It was more important for him to level up. What could be more despairing than this?
The Dark Abyss was a forest. According to the records of the Starter Village, the Dark Abyss was named as such because it was rumored that there was a real abyss here. Anyone who walked a little deeper into the forest would be hopelessly lost and never be able to come out.
After so many years in the starter village, no one had ever walked out of this place alive before Chu Bai and the other players arrived.
"Ding… You have entered the Dark Abyss."
Chu Bai walked forward vigilantly, constantly paying attention to the wind and grass around him.
Suddenly, the rustling of leaves made Chu Bai stop in his tracks and look over.
On a tree ahead, a black cat-like monster was staring at Chu Bai with its ghostly green eyes.
Roar…
A roar came from its throat, and its figure suddenly disappeared from Chu Bai's sight. In the next moment, it arrived in front of Chu Bai and slashed at him.
Chu Bai reacted swiftly. He nimbly dodged to the side and released the Scanning Skill at the same time.
[Demonized Civet Cat]:
Level: 8
Grade: None
Health Points: 600
A creature that only lives in the Dark Abyss. Due to the influence of the demonic aura in the Dark Abyss, it has become extremely irritable. Its attack spirit energy and speed are extremely agile.
[Skill: Flash Strike: Can teleport within 10 meters. The first attack after the Flash Strike deals an additional 100% damage and has a 10% chance of bleeding for 3 seconds. Cooldown: 15 seconds. (Bleeding: HP will drop every second)]
"This is a good place to level up."
Chu Bai held the Novice Sword in his hand and stared at the Demonized Civet Cat.
Roar— 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝙤𝙢
The Demonized Civet Cat arched its body and glared at Chu Bai like a tiger watching its prey. Then, it pounced on him again.
As for Chu Bai, he was waiting for it to pounce, so he charged up Heavenly Lightning Break on the spot.
Boom—
Then, Chu Bai directly smashed down with his sword.
A ten-meter radius was not something that the Demonized Civet Cat could escape in time.
-531
A huge dealing of damage almost emptied the Demonized Civet Cat's HP bar.
With 92 Attack Power, the Heavenly Lightning Break dealt 3x damage in the central area. Then, the Strength Gem doubled it again, with the damage only deducted by the monster's Defense Points.
Meanwhile, when other players faced such monsters, each attack only dealt 20 to 30 damage. It could only be said that Chu Bai's current damage was ridiculously high.
The Demonized Civet Cat immediately ran away.
"Trying to run?"
Chu Bai picked up his sword and quickly chased after it.
Flash Strike!
The moment the Demonized Civet Cat used Flash Strike, Chu Bai's Infinite Ultimate also obtained this skill.
In an instant, he disappeared to a spot ten meters away, caught up to the Demonized Raccoon, and stabbed it with his sword.
-179
"Ding… Your level has increased to Level 4. Health Points +10, Mana Points +10. Obtained 5 points to freely distribute among attributes."
After adding his attribute points to his Strength, Chu Bai's Attack Power successfully exceeded 100 and reached 102.
This was more ferocious than any of Chu Bai's previous games.
Chu Bai walked forward to the place where the Demonized Civet Cat had died. He picked up two copper coins and a small HP potion.
After picking it up, he looked up.
There were many Demonized Civet Cats around.
"This should be a farming spot for Level 5 to 8 monsters. It won't be long before many players come over."
Quests were important, but leveling up was equally important.
Monsters below Level 5 were no longer attractive to Chu Bai. This Dark Abyss was just nice for him to farm high-level monsters.
"Flash Strike."
A moment later, Chu Bai charged toward the group of Demonized Civet Cat.
"Heavenly Lightning Break!"
Boom—
After grinding for an hour, Chu Bai's EXP had only reached 70% of Level 4.
Destiny's leveling progress in the early stages was much slower than in any previous game.
There were also quite a number of Demonized Civet Cats around, and they were generally between Level 5 and 8.
"Let's go deeper."
Chu Bai looked at a Demonized Civet Cat in front of him, then continuously used Flash Strike.
This Flash Strike was really useful. The unlimited release made it even more ridiculous. Coupled with the unlimited release of Heavenly Lightning Break, it was perfect for farming monsters.
-83
The last Demonized Civet Cat's health bar had only decreased by about 1%.
Chu Bai, "?"
The damage of the first attack after the Flash Strike should be 2x damage. At the same time, the damage was doubled again because of the Strength Gem. Logically speaking, this attack should be close to 400. Why was it only 83?
A 10,000-HP Boss?
Chapter 11
After many years of gaming experience, Chu Bai had never encountered such a situation. A 10,000 health boss right off the bat?
Chu Bai cast the Scanning Skill.
[Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor:]
Level: 0
Grade: Divine Emperor Beast
Health Points: 10,000
No one knows when it came to Starter Village 77,777, and no one knows where it came from. It's mysterious and its entire body is filled with extremely strong demonic qi. However, due to some special reason, the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor's power has almost completely dissipated and it has become extremely weak.
Skill: [Continuous Flash Strike], can teleport 10 meters each time, can be released twice in a row. The first attack after the Flash Strike deals an additional 200% damage to the enemy. Cooldown: 30 seconds.
[Cat Emperor Trifecta]: Locks onto a target and instantly appears behind it. At an extremely fast speed, it attacks three times consecutively. The first time, the damage is normal. The subsequent two times, the damage increases continuously. Every attack has a 10% chance of hitting the main artery, forcefully taking 10% of the target's maximum HP. Cooldown: 3 minutes.
Chu Bai, "?" 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝗺
"A Divine Emperor Beast?"
What?
Was this a Boss that could appear in a starter village?
Chu Bai doubted his own eyes.
Even so, how could a Divine Emperor Beast only have such low attributes?
After seeing the introduction of the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor, Chu Bai understood.
The beast's strength had almost completely dissipated…
In other words, this Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor was a Divine Emperor, but its HP was comparable to a Silver boss!
Chu Bai's eyes flickered with excitement!
Taking a closer look at this monster, it did seem to be a little different from an ordinary Demonized Civet Cat.
"Meow—"
After being attacked by Chu Bai, the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor flew into a rage and instantly vanished.
The first skill—Continuous Flash Strike.
However, after it was used, Chu Bai's also used his Infinite Ultimate.
"If you had met any other player, they wouldn't have been able to do anything to you. Unfortunately, you met me."
Chu Bai laughed.
Whoosh—
He also used Flash Strike and disappeared.
As for the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor, it appeared right where Chu Bai was a moment, but Chu Bai had already landed somewhere else.
After a second teleportation, the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor vanished again.
Chu Bai continuously unleashed the skill that had no cooldown. Within a few seconds, his figure continuously appeared in more than ten different places.
"Meow—"
The Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor stood rooted to the ground, dumbfounded.
Why was there a human who could dodge faster than him?
On top of that, the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor's skill had a cooldown while Chu Bai's somehow did not.
He used Flash Strike to attack the Cat Emperor from behind, extending the duration of the battle state.
"Heavenly Lightning Break!"
In an instant, Chu Bai appeared ten meters away again and accumulated Heavenly Lightning Break.
Boom—
Then, the attack was sent crashing toward the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor.
The damage was not significant, but that was not important. Chu Bai was waiting. He was waiting for this Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor to use its real ultimate move.
He was baiting it.
After Chu Bai finished attacking, he stood on the spot and did not move. He gave the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor a look as if he could not teleport anymore.
As expected, when the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor saw this, its blood-red eyes bulged and a demonic light erupted from its body.
Whoosh—
Cat Emperor Trifecta was released, and the beast disappeared on the spot.
At the same time, a system notification sounded in Chu Bai's mind.
"Ding… You have obtained the ultimate skill Cat Emperor Trifecta."
The corners of Chu Bai's mouth curled up slightly. The moment the Cat Emperor disappeared from sight, Chu Bai once again used Flash to teleport away.
The Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor appeared behind Chu Bai's original position, and its attack struck thin air.
"Meow—"
It let out a roar from its throat, looking extremely angry.
"My turn."
Cat Emperor Trifecta.
Chu Bai could dodge the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor, but its skills had a cooldown, so it could not dodge Chu Bai.
Chu Bai instantly appeared behind it.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three consecutive swipes.
-21, -41, -2000
The third attack directly triggered 10% of the maximum HP.
Chu Bai had infinite uses. Now, he only needed to touch the luck that dealt 10% of the target's maximum health.
"Cat Emperor Trifecta!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
–20, –41, –63
"Cat Emperor Trifecta!"
-2000, -42, -64
…
In a short 30 seconds, Chu Bai released three consecutive Ultimates.
After the last 10% damage was triggered, the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor's HP bar was fully emptied.
"Ding… You have leveled up to Level 5. Health Points +10, Mana Points +10. Obtained 5 points to freely distribute among attributes."
"Ding… Your level has increased to Level 6."
"Ding…"
"Ding… You have leveled up to Level 8. Health Points +10, Mana Points +10. Obtained 5 points to freely distribute among attributes."
Golden light flickered continuously on Chu Bai's body, and his condition returned to its peak state. He directly reached level eight.
"The Divine Emperor's beast gave me four levels…"
Chu Bai sighed.
What could he do about it? This Boss was currently Level 0, and its strength was almost depleted. It was already very good to be able to level up by four levels. In fact, Chu Bai was very satisfied.
A pile of items fell to the ground.
"Ding… Congratulations on obtaining the first kill of the Divine Emperor Beast. Reputation +100,000, Gold Coins +1,000."
"Ding… congratulations on obtaining the first kill of the Divine Emperor Beast. The system will release a worldwide announcement. Do you want to hide your ID?"
Chu Bai replied, "I won't hide it. Post it another twenty times. Please emphasize my ID, thank you."
System: (ΩДΩ)
…
At this moment, in Starter Village #99,999.
Feng Ling had just killed a Silver Boss.
"It's only been less than three hours. The first kill of a Silver boss. I'm surely the first in Destiny to do it! On the Player Leaderboard, with Bai Feng gone, I'm definitely going to enter the top five! No! I want to enter the top three! I want to be on top! And I want to take down the Emperor!"
Feng Ling sneered.
"Bai Feng's stuff is really useful though. Even a Level 3 player like me can solo a Silver Boss. Damn it! No wonder you were in the limelight so much. I already have some of those things. Doesn't the limelight belong to me now?"
Feng Ling sneered and muttered to himself.
"Ding… The system will release a worldwide announcement. Do you want to hide your ID?"
"Don't hide your ID. Release it ten times."
Feng Ling replied to the system.
"Ding… I can only release it five times at most."
Feng Ling frowned.
"Then why was Bai Ye announced to have killed the Bronze Boss ten times?"
"Ding… Because that was the first First Clear announcement in the world, I made an exception."
Rincewind nodded helplessly. "Okay, just post it."
Then, the system notification sounded.
"Ding… Players all over the world, please take note. Sino War Zone 99999 Starter Village Player "Feng Ling" has achieved the first kill of a Silver Boss. This is the announcement."
"Ding…"
"…"
Whoosh!
The system announcement came, and the entire world warzone was in an uproar.
"F*ck! Great God Feng Ling is awesome! As expected of him. How long has it been since he got the first kill on a Silver boss?! Vicious!"
"As expected of a god. Now that God Bai is gone, I'm a fan of Feng Ling. And he didn't let me down. First Kill of a Silver Boss! Awesome!"
"How long has it even been? It's only been a few hours and we've already gotten the First Clear of a Silver Boss? Can we still have fun? Is the difference between players that big?"
"Great God Feng Ling is awesome!"
"…"
There were no players in Feng Ling's line of sight, but he could almost hear the exclamations of the players in the distance.
He liked this feeling!
"Awesome! Now the limelight is all mine! Bai Ye right? Hehehe, how can a First Kill of the Bronze boss compare to me?"
However, in the next second…
"Ding… Players all over the world, please take note. Sino War Zone 77777 Starter Village Player 'Bai Ye' (Emphasis) has achieved the first kill of Divine Emperor Beast. This is the announcement."
"Ding… Players all over the world, please take note…"
"Ding…"
"…"
"Ding… Players all over the world, please take note. Sino War Zone 77777 Starter Village Player 'Bai Ye' (Emphasis) has achieved the first kill of Divine Emperor Beast. This is the announcement."
Everyone, "?"
Feng Ling, "?"
Chapter 12
They were dumbfounded!
Right now, everyone was stunned.
All the starter villages in the World Zone seemed to fall silent for a moment.
After that…
The entire world was in an uproar!
"F*ck! F*ck? F*ck? The first kill of the Divine Emperor Beast? Did I hear wrongly?"
"God! This is a Divine Emperor Beast we're talking about! Even the trashiest Divine Emperor Beast should have more than 100 million HP according to previous experiences, right? How can someone kill a Divine Emperor Beast right after entering the game? How can a Boss of this level even exist in a starter village?"
"What? What is this? Who is this Bai Ye? F*ck! First Kill of a Divine Emperor Beast! Aren't Divine Emperor beasts only meant to show up during the middle stages of the game and need a whole group of people to kill? I must be losing it."
"F*ck! Isn't that Bai Ye from our starter village?"
"It's the same Bai Ye who issued the system announcement to hunt down Old Dream Tian Yu and Tian Xing. Awesome! I'm so f*cking lucky to meet him!"
"Hey there, beauty, let's get to know each other. I'm acquainted with the great Bai Ye. What? What's my relationship with him? He killed me in seconds."
"…"
Sakura Nation.
"What? Who is this Bai Ye from the Sino warzone?"
"How is this possible? How is it possible for someone to kill a Divine Emperor Beast at this stage?! Is he cheating?"
"He's not cheating. There are no cheats here. Is he just lucky?"
"Investigate! We must find him!"
"…"
Murica.
"Wait? Are you kidding me? Who is this Bai Ye? I've never heard of him!"
"Look into him! We must find out everything about this person!"
"…"
Feng Ling stood rooted to the ground.
His expression just now was still filled with joy and arrogance, but in the next second, it froze.
"F*ck! Bai Ye!"
He gritted his teeth and looked furious.
He had just received the System Announcement for his Silver Boss's First Clear and now there was a Divine Emperor Beast's First Clear. Then what was the point of him beating the Silver Boss first?
Now, everyone was only shocked by the first kill of the Divine Emperor Beast.
He looked like a clown!
Wait!
Feng Ling said angrily, "System, didn't you say that you can only send it five times? Why did Bai Ye send it ten times, no, twenty times? Why can't I do it? Why did you emphasize his ID?"
"Ding… Because his first kill was the Divine Emperor Beast, I made an exception and sent it a few more times."
Feng Ling, "?"
"Motherf*cker!"
He clenched his fists!
Then, Feng Ling stormed out.
"Is there anyone from Feng Ling Dynasty? Come with me to find the Gold Boss! As long as we find the Gold Boss today, anyone who comes with me will be rewarded 10,000 yuan!"
Feng Ling shouted an announcement.
He had to kill another Gold boss to regain his dignity.
…
On the other side, Chu Bai laughed mockingly.
"I guess the first kill of a Silver Boss should have been a joyous one, right?"
Then, Chu Bai picked up all the items dropped by the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor.
Aside from the HP and Mana Recovery Potions and Coins, there were a total of two pieces of equipment and a scroll.
One of them shone with a dazzling yellow light that was exclusive to Divine Emperor Equipment.
The drop rate of equipment was very low. The Divine Emperor Beast would not have a 100% chance of dropping a Divine Emperor Equipment. The drop rate was about 10%.
Therefore, Chu Bai's luck was considered very good.
"A ring? Good stuff!"
Chu Bai picked up the Divine Emperor-grade ring.
In any game, ordinary equipment included armor, combat boots, combat pants (knee pads), weapons, wrist guards, and helmets. These six were common equipment.
There were a few rarer types of equipment such as necklaces, rings, masks, and cloaks.
This kind of equipment usually had some rare attributes.
However, the drop rate was even lower.
[Space Ring]:
Grade: Divine Emperor Equipment.
Usage Requirement: None.
[An extremely rare ring made from rare spatial crystals. There is a large dimension in the ring that can store items. The Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor unintentionally picked it up in the starter village and carried it with him. Attributes: Comprehension +5, Charm +5, Luck +5.]
Chu Bai, "…"
"It's a spatial ring!"
Chu Bai revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
To him, this might be the best possible situation!
It would be awkward for him if a Divine Emperor-level weapon or armor dropped now.
Either Chu Bai would not be able to equip it at his current level, or even if he could, it might only be a low-level Divine Emperor equipment. Its stats would not be high, and it would be redundant after a while.
Moreover, it would not be worth much by then. There was also probably no appraiser in the starter village who could appraise Divine Emperor equipment.
An interspatial ring was really good! Moreover, there was no need to appraise this particular equipment.
Players had storage backpacks, which only had 50 slots. If they wanted to expand it, they would have to spend money. Not only was it expensive, but they could only expand to 200 slots at most. It was not enough for the end game. In fact, Chu Bai already occupied 10 slots. 𝚋edn𝚘𝚟el.co𝚖
This spatial ring had 20 cubic meters of space. It was truly indispensable to Chu Bai!
Although there was no increase in attributes such as Attack, Defense, and Health, this spatial ring increased the three most difficult fixed attributes in any game, luck, charm, and comprehension.
Any increase in these three attributes was a windfall.
"Good stuff."
Chu Bai put the spatial ring on his finger and looked at the second piece of equipment.
Chapter 13
It was an armor that was emitting golden light. It was a Gold-grade Equipment.
"I wonder if I need to appraise it."
Gold-grade Equipment required an appraiser to appraise it. However, that was for Level 10 and above Gold-grade equipment. If it was below Level 10, there was no need to appraise it.
[Heavenly Demon Armor]:
Grade: Gold
Usage Requirement: Level 8 close combat profession.
A piece of armor stained with demonic energy. It boasts powerful Defense and contains some kind of unique power.
Attributes: HP +500, Defense +90, all damage received reduced by 10%, magic damage received reduced by 20%, darkness magic damage received reduced by 50%.
Skill: [Heavenly Demon Protection]: Releases the Demonic Energy in the Heavenly Demon Armor to protect the body. The Demonic Energy cover lasts for ten seconds. It can block a total of 500 points of damage. During activation, Defense will increase by 20%. When the duration ends or the shield is broken, it will enter cooldown mode. Cooldown: three minutes.
"Another good one!"
Chu Bai's eyes lit up.
In the early stages of the game, a Gold-grade Equipment's attributes were terrifying! This was only a Level 8 Gold-grade Equipment too!
It Increases HP by 500, which was nearly double Chu Bai's 280 basic HP!
What was even crazier was the 90 points of Defense!
Currently, the average player's Attack Power was probably only around 50. With just this armor on, they could no longer break through Chu Bai's Defense. They could only deal the 1 mandatory point of damage to him!
Most importantly, this equipment also came with a powerful defensive skill!
Chu Bai immediately replaced the Bronze-grade Wolf King Armor and looked at his attributes.
Character: Bai Ye 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Level: 8
Title: None
Hunger: 80
Reputation: 101,000
Gold Coins: 1,000 Gold, 3 Silver, 9 Copper
Three fixed attributes: Luck: 15, Charm: 15, Comprehension: 15
Four basic attributes: Constitution: 20, Spirit: 50, Strength: 95, Agility: 20
HP: 780
Mana: 580
Attack Power: 142
Magic Attack: 100
Defense: 134
Movement Speed: 42
Critical Strike Rate: 0
"At the very least, this HP and Defense won't have me instantly killed, right?"
Chu Bai exhaled and looked at the last scroll.
[Silent Scroll]:
Grade: Holy Seal
[A scroll that contains extremely powerful energy. After using it, the effect ignores levels and grades. It can freeze a unit for 15 seconds. After using it, it will disappear.]
"D*mn! Forcefully freezing for 15 seconds!"
Perhaps it did not seem to be worthy of the so-called Holy Seal grade, but… it ignored levels and grades. In other words, Level 100 Holy Seal Beasts could be controlled for 15 seconds!
"What is with this Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor? Can it even drop these things?"
Chu Bai put the things into his backpack and found a shoe stained with blood where the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor had disappeared. Chu Bai walked over.
[Blood-stained Shoes]:
[A few days ago, the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor killed a woman who walked in from the starter village. Because it liked the smell of her shoes, it kept them.]
Chu Bai, "…"
"She's not the village chief's wife, is she?"
Chu Bai suppressed his disgust and put the shoes into his backpack.
Then, he walked to the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor's corpse and cast Gather.
The monster's corpse would remain in play for ten minutes. Some monsters would have items that could be collected.
[Gathering Skill]:
[Basic Class Skills for Players. Can be used to gather plants, items from dead monsters, crystals, and so on. Currently has a 100% chance of successfully collecting Bronze items, 50% chance of successfully collecting Silver items, 10% chance of successfully collecting Gold items, 1% chance of successfully collecting Demon items, 0.1% chance of successfully collecting Celestial items, 0% chance of collecting Divine Emperor items. No cooldown, no consumption. Current Level: 1]
"Ding… Gathering failed. Gathering proficiency increased."
Chu Bai raised his eyebrows.
"As expected."
"Ding… Gathering failed. Gathering proficiency increased."
"Ding… Gathering failed. Gathering proficiency increased."
"Ding… Gathering failed…"
"…"
"Ding… You have successfully collected [Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor's Egg]."
Chu Bai, "?"
[Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor's Egg]:
Grade: Unknown
[It is a very precious item of the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor. It seems to be an ingredient or perhaps has other effects.]
Chu Bai, "…"
He subconsciously wanted to throw this thing away, but… thinking that he had collected it from a Divine Emperor Beast, he still put it in his interspatial ring.
"Ding… Target has no item to collect."
Chu Bai stood up and prepared to continue walking. When he raised his head, he suddenly frowned!
"Wasn't this a forest just now?"
Had he not been farming Demonized Civet Cats and fighting this Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor in a forest?
He remembered that there were trees around him just now. He was in a forest. When he picked up the shoes just now, there were trees around him.
Why did the surroundings suddenly become… a dark mountain range?
Chu Bai looked behind him. It was not a forest, but a mountain range.
This complex mountain range was nothing like the flat forest terrain he had just fought in!
"Is this the true nature of the Dark Abyss?"
Chu Bai frowned.
"Ding… Player Bai Ye, please note that you have entered an extremely dangerous area. Please leave immediately! Please leave immediately!"
"Ding… Player Bai Ye, please take note…"
"Ding…"
Suddenly, the system notification sounded in Chu Bai's mind.
Chapter 14
Chu Bai had never encountered such a situation before.
The urgency of system notification made Chu Bai even more nervous. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚
The environment had completely changed. There was no way out. No wonder no one had ever walked out of the Dark Abyss.
Perhaps the forest was just an illusion of this place.
"It doesn't seem to be an illusion, though."
Chu Bai touched the stone beside him.
"Then I can only go forward."
Chu Bai knew that in this situation, he probably would not be able to escape even if he went back. He might as well explore this so-called Dark Abyss.
Chu Bai held the Novice Sword and walked forward.
The terrain of this place was complex. There were no trees, only uneven mountains and rocks. The higher mountains in the distance were covered by black fog and were a little blurry.
There was a huge mountain in front of him. It was especially tall and blocked the way forward, but there was a cave.
Chu Bai took a deep breath and walked inside.
There was nothing special inside the cave.
After some walking, he saw the exit.
When he walked out of the cave, the scene in front of him stunned Chu Bai.
Ahead, through the fog, Chu Bai seemed to be looking at a large hall!
The hall seemed to be quite far away. It was wrapped in fog and gave off a sinister feeling.
Chu Bai could be considered a veteran player. This scene was something that could usually only be encountered in the later stages of the game.
"Is this still starter village?"
Chu Bai was secretly shocked.
The Divine Emperor Beast, the mysterious darkness, the huge hall.
"Ding… You have successfully explored the secret map of Starter Village 77777, Sealing Temple. Reputation +100,000."
"Ding… Player Bai Ye, please take note. This area is extremely dangerous. Please leave quickly!"
"Ding… Player Bai Ye, please take note. This map is extremely dangerous. Please leave quickly!"
"…"
The system notifications kept coming.
In this atmosphere, with such an urgent system notification, Chu Bai also panicked.
"Go back?"
He turned to look at the cave behind him, and then his pupils constricted.
F*ck!
The cave was gone!
The mountain behind him had disappeared, and behind him was a boundless dark mountain range!
He walked back tentatively.
The mountain was either hidden or gone! He could not touch it anymore.
F*ck!
He wanted to leave this place. However, how could he leave?
Chu Bai looked at the huge hall in front of him.
"Phew—"
Chu Bai took a deep breath, then braced himself and walked forward.
In any case, he had a chance to revive. Since he could not leave, he would go and take a look.
Soon, Chu Bai arrived at the front of the hall.
It was a simple and solemn design.
...
At this moment, a loud bang sounded. The door of the hall was sent flying open, and a figure lumbered out of it.
Chu Bai dodged to one side and looked at the figure.
It was a giant.
[Divine Wind Guardian]:
Level: ?, Grade: ?, Description: ?
Skill: ?
Chu Bai, "…"
There seemed to be no need to be shocked.
Chu Bai was Level 8, and the detection limit of the Scanning spell was Level 18. It seemed quite understandable that he could not detect the giant's attributes on such a map.
However…
It was already dead. Its body was even turning into nothingness.
The giant suddenly dropped a bunch of items, but since Chu Bai was not the one who killed it, he could not pick them up. He just took a casual look.
[Divine Wind Heavenly Demon Halberd]:
Grade: Super Divine Artifact.
Usage Requirement: Unidentified. Cannot be used.
Chu Bai, "…"
"Super Divine Artifact? Then this Divine Wind Guardian is a Super Divine monster?"
Chu Bai was secretly shocked.
This thing just died, and to be able to kill a Super Divine Beast…
Holy Annihilation? Holy Seal?
What else was in this hall?
Chu Bai gulped.
Then, he mustered his courage and walked into the hall with the Novice Sword.
The moment Chu Bai entered the hall, everything was pitch black.
When he looked back again, the door behind him had already disappeared. It had also turned into endless darkness.
There was a purple light ahead.
Chu Bai walked forward.
Just as he was about to approach the light, a roar similar to a dragon's sounded in the huge space.
Chu Bai, "…"
"A dragon?"
As the monster of the highest level in any game, how could there be a dragon in this starter village?
"Buzz—"
A dragon's roar sounded again. Then, in front of Chu Bai, a red light suddenly appeared from below. A red dragon nearly a thousand meters tall soared into the sky and spat flames at the ground below.
"Ding… You have obtained the ultimate skill Flaming Dragon Breath."
Chu Bai, "…"
[Royal Evil Dragon]:
Level: ?, Grade: ?, Health Points: ?, Description: ?, Skills: ?
Was this still a starter village?
Whoosh—
Right then, a purple light flashed. Chu Bai saw a girl in a white dress forcefully resist the Royal Evil Dragon's fiery breath.
Chi—
Her body directly pierced through the Royal Evil Dragon, and Dragon let out a shocking roar.
"Ding… You have obtained the ultimate skill Purple Holy Flash."
Then, Chu Bai saw a series of damage numbers popping up above Royal Evil Dragon's head.
-1998010300
Nearly two billion damage in one move?
What was this
Holy Seal?
After the two billion damage, The Royal Evil Dragon's health bar had only dropped by 1%!
Chu Bai, "?"
He was completely dumbfounded.
Roar—
The dragon roared again as the girl smashed down and stopped beside Chu Bai.
Cough—
Then, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Are you all right?" Chu Bai asked subconsciously.
[Mysterious Girl]:
Level: ?, Grade: ?, Health Points: ?, Description: ?, Skills: ?
The girl glanced at Chu Bai.
Purple eyes…
"A human! You die too!"
The Dragon roared and spat out a powerful dragon breath.
Chu Bai had no way of dodging.
Whoosh—
The girl rushed in front of Chu Bai. Purple light shone from her body, blocking the dragon breath.
She then turned to look at Chu Bai.
"Can you… help me block this for a minute?"
"Ding… congratulations on triggering the only hidden quest in the starter village, [Defend Against the Royal Evil Dragon]. Mission Reward: Unknown. Mission Duration: One minute. Do you accept?"
Chu Bai, "…"
This so-called hidden mission meant that it could only be triggered once! Only once.
Before he could speak, the girl threw a scroll to Chu Bai.
"Ding… You have obtained [Invincible Scroll]."
[Invincible Scroll]:
Grade: Holy Annihilation
[A mysterious scroll that contains immense power. Effect: After using it, you can enter an absolutely invincible state for a minute.]
"Please."
Chu Bai said, "I'll give it a try."
"Ding… You have successfully accepted the mission [Defend Against the Royal Evil Dragon]."
"Thank you."
Then, Chu Bai accumulated power on the spot.
The girl was shocked to see this.
Whoosh—
Following that, Chu Bai's figure flashed in front of the Royal Evil Dragon with a purple light.
"Roar—Human, get lost!"
The Royal Evil Dragon roared and turned its fiery dragon breath toward Chu Bai.
However, Chu Bai was invincible right now. He resisted the dragon's breath and continuously released Purple Holy Flash. Even with his current attributes, this attack dealt hundreds of thousands of damage!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Roar—
The Dragon cried out in pain.
Meanwhile, the girl leaped into the air. Ten beautiful shadows of huge fox tails appeared behind her. With her eyes closed, it was like an anime or sci-fi movie when a character was charging energy. The purple and white power around her kept pouring into her body.
She was preparing her ultimate move!
At first, Chu Bai was puzzled. Why had she not used such a powerful scroll for herself? It turned out that she needed to charge up her ultimate skill without being interrupted!
Even if she was invincible, she could still be interrupted.
"Get lost!"
The Royal Evil Dragon roared at Chu Bai.
Meanwhile, Chu Bai was continuously releasing powerful moves to attack him.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds, forty seconds…
"Roar—don't even try to change your fate!"
The Royal Evil Dragon roared.
One minute of absolute invincibility meant that Chu Bai would not be in any danger, but… The Royal Evil Dragon ignored him and rushed toward the girl. Chu Bai could not stop it at all.
"F*ck! For the only hidden quest in the starter village, I'll go all out!"
Chu Bai took out the Scroll that had dropped from the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor and crushed it.
"Ding… You have successfully used [Silent Scroll]."
The Royal Evil Dragon's huge body froze in the air.
Fifteen seconds later, Chu Bai had been holding on for fifty-five seconds.
The Dragon recovered and charged at the girl in the sky.
"I can't stop it anymore," Chu Bai cried.
When the Royal Evil Dragon rushed in front of the girl, she opened her purple eyes.
In the next moment, a purple light covered the entire space. When Chu Bai opened his eyes, the girl was already standing behind the Royal Evil Dragon.
Chu Bai stood below and was stunned.
What happened?
-2,000,000,000
A huge number appeared above the Royal Evil Dragon's head, and its HP bar was emptied.
Chu Bai, "?"
Chapter 15
Chu Bai watched as the huge Royal Evil Dragon fell from the sky. As it fell, its body was cut in half.
Gulp—
Chu Bai gulped.
She… insta-killed it?
"Ding… Congratulations on completing the mission [Defend Against the Royal Evil Dragon]."
Chu Bai then looked at the girl in the sky.
Her body swayed and fell.
...
With a loud bang, her body smashed a hole through the ground, and Chu Bai ran over.
"Huh?"
Chu Bai suddenly realized that he could see her data clearly.
[Mysterious Girl]:
Level: 0, Grade: None, Health Points: 1,000
[A mysterious girl who came out of nowhere. There seems to be an extremely terrifying power in her body, but in the end, she's just a cute and innocent little girl. Please cherish her.
Current Status: Near Death.
Skill: None]
Chu Bai, "…"
"Cute little girl? Are you messing with me?"
Chu Bai did not believe this introduction. He had just seen how terrifying she was just now.
However…
Near-death state?
Was she going to die?
The girl lay on the ground. There was no dust on her body, as if her dress could isolate all filth.
Only then did Chu Bai size her up.
She could not even be called a young woman. She was really just a little girl!
She looked like she was only eight to ten years old. She was a bonafide loli!
Her skin was extremely fair, and her small face was a demonic face that Chu Bai had never seen since he could remember.
She was such a young girl, but her small face was already indescribably beautiful. She could only be described as inhuman!
She was like a fairy that had fallen into the mortal world.
Her purple princess dress was especially beautiful. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.
She wore no shoes, revealing a pair of small and cute feet.
"Sigh, I wonder what reward I can get. I've already used my Silent Scroll. I just hope that the value I obtain won't be lower than this."
Chu Bai sighed.
This NPC did not look straightforward. He should be able to get a good reward.
"Ugh…"
After a while, the girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
"You're awake." Chu Bai looked at her and asked.
Oddly enough, her eyes were no longer purple, but a normal black.
The girl's eyes revealed confusion. She sat up and blinked her beautiful big eyes as she stared at Chu Bai.
However, her face was very pale, and so were her lips.
"I've done what I promised you. Do you have anything for me?" Chu Bai asked.
The girl's eyes were still confused.
"Hey, don't play dumb. I used up a Holy Seal item." Chu Bai panicked when he saw this scene and quickly explained.
Then, she looked at Chu Bai and opened her arms.
'Huh?'
Chu Bai was stunned.
Could it be that she was just planning to give him a hug as compensation?
"I'm telling you, don't think that you're cute and a hug is enough to compensate for a Holy Seal item. Although I'm afraid of you, I still have a chance to revive. We have to be reasonable."
Chu Bai continued explaining.
"Master…" 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝐨𝗺
She opened her arms and called out to Chu Bai in a childish voice.
Her voice was soft and carried a sense of weakness and exhaustion. It was completely different from the coldness and sharpness from before.
Chu Bai, "?"
He was talking animatedly here, and then his entire body froze in place.
Chu Bai stiffly lowered his head to look at her.
Seeing Chu Bai looking at her, the girl sat on the ground and revealed a pale smile. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
"Master…"
Chu Bai, "?"
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Chu Bai was dumbfounded.
She then stood up and reached out to hug Chu Bai, her little head gently rubbing against Chu Bai's chest.
It was too heartwarming.
"Master…"
Chu Bai gulped.
Could she have lost her memory along with the dissipation of her power?
At that moment, Chu Bai suddenly realized that blood was continuously dripping from the top of her head.
-100, -100
She only had a total of 1,000 HP. If she lost 100 HP a second, would she die in 10 seconds?
"Master… I'm so tired."
The girl hugged Chu Bai, and her voice became softer in Chu Bai's arms.
Her body gradually became illusory.
"Hey, are you going to die? You're so powerful, don't die."
Chu Bai held her shoulders.
The girl raised her head and opened her eyes with difficulty. Her eyes gradually lost their spark.
"Master… I miss you."
Then, she closed her eyes completely. Her body had lost its strength, but her hands were still subconsciously grabbing Chu Bai's clothes.
Chu Bai quickly supported her.
"System, is she going to die?" Chu Bai hurriedly asked.
"Ding… Yes, she will die in eight seconds."
"Is there a way to save her?"
Before the system's reply sounded, another system notification sounded.
"Ding… Calamity Fox requests to acknowledge you as its master. Do you accept?"
Chu Bai, "…"
He froze.
Chu Bai lowered his head to look at the girl in his arms. She had completely closed her eyes, but her hand was still holding onto Chu Bai tightly. Illusory tears could be seen flowing down her face.
There was no time to think.
"Agreed!"
"Ding… You have successfully obtained the pet Calamity Fox."
The moment the system notification sounded, the girl's figure dissolved into white and purple specks.
However, Chu Bai did not notice that the corners of her mouth, which was buried in Chu Bai's arms, revealed a happy smile the moment Chu Bai accepted the request.
She disappeared from Chu Bai's arms. The specks gathered on the ground and gradually materialized into the appearance of a small snow-white fox.
There was an additional connection between Chu Bai and her.
"So, did she survive?"
Chu Bai pondered for a moment before squatting down and reaching out to caress the little snow fox.
On the ground, the little fox opened its beautiful eyes and shook its body as it looked at Chu Bai.
"Woo—Woo—"
She shouted happily at Chu Bai and rubbed against the back of his hand.
"Ding… Please name your pet."
Chu Bai looked at the little snow fox circling around him and said, "Then let's call her Lil Xue'er."
"Ding… Lil Xue'er name has been successfully fixed."
"Woo—"
Lil Xue'er kept yapping at Chu Bai, her little tail wagging as if she really liked this name.
"I never expected you to become my pet."
Chu Bai picked her up, and she nestled comfortably in Chu Bai's arms.
Such an awesome existence had insta-killed a dragon and became his pet…
Then it seemed that he did not lose out.
A white teleportation array lit up in front of him.
Chu Bai carried Lil Xue'er and stepped inside.
"Ding… You have entered the Dark Abyss."
With a flash of light, Chu Bai returned to the forest.
"Woo—"
Little Xue'er cried out and then jumped onto Chu Bai's shoulder, her little head rubbing against Chu Bai's neck.
Chu Bai checked her stats.

Chu Bai, "?"
Chapter 16
Chu Bai was completely stunned on the spot.
"This is a Grade 7 pet? Are you kidding me?"
Normal pets were divided into Grade 3 ornamental pets and Grade 4 ornamental pets. As the name implied, pets of the third and fourth grades could only be used for ornamental purposes and had no combat power!
When a pet reached Grade 5, it would have the ability to cooperate in combat!
After Grade 5 were 6, 7, 8, and 9!
After Grade 9 pets, there were Demon pets, Celestial pets, Heavenly pets, Divine Emperor pets, super Divine Pets, Holy Anihillation pets, and Holy Seal pets.
Generally speaking, when a pet reached Grade 7, its combat power was not ordinary.
As for Lil Xue'er…
She was a Grade 7 pet, but…
Level 0, 10,000 mana points, 500 magic attack power? This is called a Grade 7 pet?
This was not the main point. The main point was Lil Xue'er's skill…
Heavenly Healing. The first skill stunned Chu Bai on the spot.
50% maximum HP group recovery effect!
After all, the healing ability of a Priest only had a maximum HP of 20%. Furthermore, it could only heal one unit! The cooldown was as high as one minute.
Lil Xue'er's Heavenly Healing only had a cooldown of 30 seconds, which was extremely crazy.
[Light of the Holy Spirit] (AoE 10% HP recovery every 10 seconds. At the same time, it has an immunity to all negative effects. After 10 seconds, your HP bar will be full. The cooldown is only two minutes.
It was ridiculous!
What was even more ridiculous was the third skill, Resurrection, which directly broke Chu Bai's understanding!
In any game, Chu Bai had never seen the skill Resurrection! It was impossible for a priest to have Resurrection. If he died, he was dead! The only exception was the ultimate item Prayer's Glass.
However, a resurrection spell was right in front of Chu Bai!
He could use it three times in a lifetime, which meant that Chu Bai had a total of five lives, including the free resurrection!
As for the Phantom Transformation, he could turn Lil Xue'er into that beautiful little loli every day for an hour.
"This is called a Calamity Fox? How is this a calamity?"
Chu Bai turned his head to look at Lil Xue'er on his shoulder.
How was this related to calamity?
Oh my god, this was simply a moving fountain of health!
Such a terrifying existence had actually become Chu Bai's pet and companion. After so many years, he had never seen such an insane pet!
"Lil Xue'er, use Phantom Transformation."
"Woo—"
Lil Xue'er cried out. Then, white light surged from her body, and the little loli in a purple dress stood beside Chu Bai.
"Master."
Lil Xue'er happily hugged Chu Bai.
"Lil Xue'er, do you remember what happened just now?"
Lil Xue'er blinked her large eyes in confusion before shaking her little head.
"You really don't remember?" Chu Bai muttered to himself.
"Forget it, I won't think about that anymore. Let's go, I'll bring you to level up."
"Yes, yes, yes."
With that, Chu Bai pulled her forward.
In the dark abyss, back in the forest, Chu Bai was fighting a group of Demonized Civet Cats.
Lil Xue'er was hiding at the side, holding the meat bun Chu Bai gave her and dancing with joy.
"Master, you can do it!"
With Lil Xue'er around, Chu Bai did not have to worry about his health.
Heavenly Lightning Break continued to rain down, and Lil Xue'er's Healing Technique refilled his HP whenever it dropped to half.
"Ding… Lil Xue'er has leveled up to Level 1. Health Points +100, Mana Points +1,000, Magic Attack Power +100."
…
"Ding… Lil Xue'er has leveled up to Level 2. Health Points +100, Mana Points +1,000, Magic Attack Power +100."
Chu Bai brought Lil Xue'er along all the way until she reached Level 2. Her Phantom Transformation time had also expired, and she turned into the cute little snow fox sitting on Chu Bai's shoulder.
"Are you tired?"
Chu Bai patted the little fellow on his shoulder.
"Woo…" Lil Xue'er cried out.
"Go back and rest."
Then, Chu Bai put her into the pet space.
"Phew—"
Chu Bai took a deep breath and stretched.
"The leveling of this game is too slow. I've been grinding for two hours and only reached 15% of Level 8. I have to find a high-level monster. I'll go to the village chief in the starter village to see if this shoe belongs to his wife."
Then, Chu Bai walked toward the starter village.
"Ding… Attention to all players, the Player Level Rankings has been activated."
"Ding… Attention to all players. The pet rankings has been activated."
"Ding… Attention to all players, the equipment rankings have been activated."
"Ding… Attention to all players, the Hidden Class Ranking has been activated."
"Ding… Attention to all players, the Gold Coin Exchange System has been activated."
A series of system notifications sounded frantically.
"F*ck! It's finally open! I don't even have the money to buy medicine! I can finally exchange it for money now."
"Level rankings, let's see who's the most awesome now."
"…"
"Ding… You are ranked first on the Level Rankings. Do you want to hide your ID?"
"Ding… Your equipment [Broken Glass] is ranked first on the equipment rankings. Do you want to hide your ID?"
"Ding… Your equipment [Space Ring] is ranked sixth on the equipment rankings. Do you want to hide your ID?"
"Ding… Your pet Lil Xue'er is ranked first on the pet rankings. Do you want to hide your ID?"
Chu Bai replied, "Don't hide it. And add a thick highlighted ID."
After speaking, Chu Bai also opened the various rankings as he walked toward the beginner village.
Level Ranking:
First place: Level: 8, Class: Swordsman, Nickname: Bai Ye 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Second place: Level: 6, Class: Swordsman, Nickname: Emperor
Third place: Level: 6, Class: Assassin, Nickname: Shadow

7th: Level: 5, Class: Archer, Nickname: Divine Wind
8th place: Level: 5, Class: Lightning Mage, Nickname: Dancing Rain
9th place: Level: 5, Class: None, Nickname: Playboy
10th place: Level: 5, Class: Swordsman, Nickname: Cloud Slayer
Equipment ranking:
First place: Equipment: [Broken Glass], Grade: Holy Seal, Owner: Bai Ye

10th: Equipment: [Sky Flower], Grade: Divine Emperor, Owner: Thunderstorm
Pet Ranking: First place: [Calamity Fox], Grade: Grade 7 Pet, Owner: Bai Ye.
Hidden Class Ranking: None
Chu Bai glanced at it. It was not much different from what he had imagined.
The top ten of the level rankings were all familiar IDs. Other than the ninth-ranked Playboy, who was a new ID, the others were all awesome characters from the previous game.
However, the special thing was that this "Playboy" somehow had no Class.
The equipment ranking was not very reliable because many equipments were brought in from other games.
However, what Chu Bai did not expect was that Broken Glass was actually ranked ahead of Divine Armament Diagram, and there was also Sacred Heart coming in second. The Divine Armament Diagram was the equipment dropped by the final boss of The World.
In terms of pets, Chu Bai was the only one who currently had a pet.
No one had a hidden class at the moment.
The activation of the four rankings stunned all the other players.
"What the f*ck! Out of the top three rankings, Bai Ye is first? Who is this Bai Ye?"
"I get that he's ranked first on the level rankings. After all, he got the first kill on the Divine Emperor Beast. But why does he have a pet? There's no pet map in the starter village, right? And why is his equipment ranked higher than the Divine Armament Diagram?"
"F*ck! Is Bai Ye going to become a god? And who's Little Cutie? Isn't the Divine Armament Diagram the item dropped by the final boss? Her Sacred Heart is ranked before the Divine Armament Diagram?"
"…"
Feng Ling looked at the various rankings and narrowed his eyes!
"Bai Ye! F*ck! Why is your equipment ranked higher than my Divine Armament Diagram? F*ck! My Divine Armament Diagram is only ranked third?"
…
In a forest in a starter village.
The player's ID was Emperor.
He held a yellow divine sword and stared at the rankings.
"Bai Ye, heh…"
…
After reading the rankings, Bai Ye returned to the beginner village.
He headed straight for the village chief.
Chapter 17
Chu Bai's appearance attracted the attention of the players.
"Hey, God! Wanna team up? I've got plenty of milk here."
A 36D girl approached Chu Bai and winked at him flirtatiously.
"Great Bai Ye, choose me, choose me. I may be a man, but I can do things too. What's so good about women? Aren't women all the same? Sometimes it's better to try vegetarian food if you're used to meat."
"Great Bai Ye, can you let me take a look at the Broken Glass? What is this thing that is ranked higher than the Divine Armament Diagram?"
"…"
Chu Bai ignored them all and went straight to the village chief.
Not far away, a group of women passed by and saw this scene.
"Miss, that is Bai Ye."
The woman who was addressed as Miss was wearing a veil. Although she was wearing a novice outfit, it was difficult to hide her charm and temptation!
When she stood there, countless people around her stole glances at her.
Her ID was Qingqiu Yanmo.
Qingqiu Yanmo was also a well-known veteran player.
The guild that she founded, Rose Paradise, was a guild that only recruited female players. However, its scale had already reached 10 million and was not much inferior to Feng Ling Dynasty.
"This person shouldn't be a new player. It's best if we can get to know him."
Qingqiu Yanmo muttered as she watched Chu Bai leave.
"However, according to the reactions of the other players, he doesn't seem to like to talk to people. Just now, some girls even threw themselves at him, but he still pushed them away mercilessly."
Qingqiu Yanmo flashed a beautiful smile.
"Our Rose Paradise doesn't lack beautiful sisters."
…
"Village Chief."
Chu Bai found the village chief.
"Brother Bai Ye, quick! Please, please, please!"
Seeing that Chu Bai had arrived, the village chief pushed the players aside and brought Chu Bai to the inner room.
"Brother Bai Ye, is there any news about my wife?" the village chief asked anxiously.
Chu Bai took out the blood-stained shoe.
Seeing the shoe, the village chief shuddered and took it with trembling hands.
"My wife…"
His entire body trembled as tears streamed down his face.
"Chief, my condolences," Chu Bai said.
The village chief carefully placed the shoe on the table and wiped his tears as he looked at Chu Bai. be𝚍𝚗𝚘ve𝚕.c𝚘𝚖
"This was what I expected, anyway. Thank you, Bai Ye."
Chu Bai shook his head.
"Ding… Congratulations on completing the mission [Finding News of the Village Chief's Wife]."
The village chief then said to Chu Bai, "I don't have anything to thank you with. So, I'll write you a letter."
After saying that, he sat there and wrote a letter to Chu Bai.
"All right. Take this to the village drugstore and find the pharmacy owner. She owes me a favor and might be able to give you something good. When the time comes, you must emphasize that I recommended you. She has a bad temper and doesn't like men. If you don't inform her, she might just throw you out or even kill you."
Chu Bai took the envelope and asked in confusion, "I've been to the pharmacy before. Isn't the boss a man?"
"The real owner of the pharmacy is a woman. That man's name is Wu Shi. He's one of the few men she has a good impression of and he helps her. That's why she kept him as an employee of the pharmacy after she opened it. If she's not around, you can ask for Wu Shi."
"Alright, thank you, Village Chief. I'll go now."
"Please do."
Then, Chu Bai left the village chief's courtyard.
After he walked out, he bumped into Qingqiu Yanmo, who was waiting there.
"Great Bai Ye."
Qingqiu Yanmo smiled and extended her hand toward Chu Bai.
She was very beautiful! Even though she was wearing a veil, it was difficult to hide her charm. Her noble temperament meant that her identity was not a simple one.
"Hi."
Chu Bai reached out and shook her hand.
"Ding… Due to Qingqiu Yanmo taking the initiative to express her goodwill to you, there will be no punishment from the Heavenly Lightning during this contact."
This was a mechanism to protect women in the game. If a male player took the initiative and deliberately touched a female player's body, then lightning punishment would be sent down. The higher the degree of contact, the more ruthless the punishment. It could even result in death.
"I don't mean anything else. I just want to get to know the Bai Ye. Can I be your friend?" Qingqiu Yanmo asked with a smile.
Her every move was elegant and noble. She exuded confidence.
"No, thank you." Chu Bai left after saying that.
He knew this Qingqiu Yanmo and did not have much interaction with her before. She was just a famous veteran. It was said that her background in reality was also very powerful. Feng Ling was even her admirer.
However, Chu Bai knew that this woman was very dangerous.
Qingqiu Yanmo raised her eyebrows.
"Miss, that guy is so full of himself. He didn't even consider your offer." The girl beside her looked unhappy.
Qingqiu Yanmo was unfazed.
"He's an expert. Isn't it expected for him to look down on me?"
When Chu Bai arrived at the entrance of the pharmacy, a female player happened to walk out.
[Jiangyue Qianying] was her ID.
She was not wearing a veil, revealing her peerless appearance.
Chu Bai was shocked.
This Starter Village of 77777 was really filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Beautiful women popped up one after another.
This woman's temperament was somewhat similar to Qingqiu Yanmo's, but there was a hint of coldness between her eyes, which diminished some of her nobility.
She looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. Her appearance could be said to be top-tier. She was tall and slender, about 1.7 meters tall. The starter village could not contain the explosiveness of her figure!
Her slender waist and long fair legs were exposed and could make one's imagination run wild.
Jiangyue Qianying was stunned when she saw Chu Bai.
"Bai Ye?"
She was a little excited. Then, she extended her hand to Chu Bai and said, "Hello, I'm Jiangyue Qianying. I've been looking for you."
"What's the matter?" Chu Bai asked.
She said, "I heard that you got the first kill of a Bronze Boss. I just wanted to ask, are you selling Bronze Boss equipment? I can offer a high price for it."
Although Chu Bai did not think much of it, the truth was that a Bronze Equipment in the early stages was already quite insane. It could attract countless players to fight over it.
On the first day of the game, perhaps only one out of 100,000 players had a Bronze weapon. The attribute already stood out.
"Yes, how much are you offering?"
"Can I see the attributes?"
Chu Bai shared the attributes of Wolf King Armor with her.
"The attributes are quite good. The HP bonus is almost comparable to my basic HP. How about 100,000?"
At this time, a Level 5 bronze weapon was not cheap.
After all, how many players could afford 100,000 yuan? Moreover, equipment of this level depreciated very quickly.
"Alright, shall we trade now?"
"Okay."
Then, Chu Bai and Jiangyue Qianying made the deal face-to-face.
Chu Bai had an extra 1000 gold coins.
Chu Bai was indeed short of money. He did not lack money in the past, but in The World, he spent almost all his energy and money inside the game. He did not have much money in reality and could only buy a fixed house.
Unfortunately, he died. Then, everything was gone.
"Thank you."
Jiangyue Qianying felt sorry for Chu Bai.
"You're welcome. I didn't need it anyway."
Then, Chu Bai walked toward the pharmacy.
"Bai Ye."
Jiangyue Qianying called out to Chu Bai.
"Yes? Is there anything else?"
She smiled and asked, "Can I add you as a friend? If you have any equipment that you don't need, you can contact me anytime."
Chu Bai thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Alright!"
Jiangyue Qianying was delighted.
"Ding… Player [Jiangyue Qianying] requests to add you as a friend. Do you accept?"
"Agreed."
Then, the two of them became good friends.
"I won't disturb you anymore. Please, go ahead."
"Yeah."
Chu Bai followed her into the pharmacy.
"You?"
The employee, Wu Shi, was unhappy when he saw Chu Bai.
"Cough, cough." Chu Bai touched the tip of his nose and coughed dryly. "I'm sorry about what happened before. I was recommended by the village chief to look for your boss. Is she here?"
"You were recommended by the village chief?"
He took Chu Bai's letter and glanced at it.
"Alright, the boss is in the inner room. I'll help you inform her."
Then, he walked in and quickly came back out.
"The boss invites you in."
"Thanks a lot."
Chu Bai walked into the inner room.
This pharmacy was much bigger than he had imagined.
The inner room was a living room. There was a woman sitting there, reading a book and drinking tea.
Chu Bai looked over and could not help but be stunned!
She was…
So beautiful!
Chapter 18
Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her exquisite facial features made one's heart beat faster. However, between her shapely eyebrows, there was a cold expression that could make one's heart stop. Her dark and cold eyes were like the morning stars, clear and bright.
Her clothes were not ordinary. She was wearing a white and gold robe. At this moment, she was leaning in a chair with her legs crossed and a book in one hand.
Her bearing was noble and gorgeous!
It was not something that anyone in this village could possess.
He cast Scan.
[Huang Xin]: Level: ?, Grade: ?, Health Points: ?
Description: She appeared in Starter Village 77,777 15 years ago. At that time, she was seriously injured and was accidentally discovered by the village chief, Wu Shi, and a few others who saved her. From then on, she stayed in the village. Her identity is mysterious, and the village has heard no mention of it. However, she regularly brings out treasures that would surprise everyone in the village.
Chu Bai, "…"
A hidden big shot in the starter village?
Her beautiful eyes looked at Chu Bai as her red lips parted slightly.
"The village chief recommended you?"
Chu Bai nodded and handed the letter over.
Huang Xin took the letter and looked at it.
The meaning of the letter was quite clear. The village chief probably owed Chu Bai a huge favor, and he had no way to repay it. So, he hoped that Huang Xin could repay it for him.
"Since he asked me to, I'll spare him some face.
She considered for a moment and took out two leaves.
"Take this."
Chu Bai took it.
[Leaf of Life]: Grade: None, a leaf dropped from the Divine Tree of Life, containing powerful vitality! Effect: After use, HP permanently +100, can be used up to five times.
Chu Bai, "…"
Damn!
It was a tool that could permanently increase attributes!
This kind of item that permanently increased attributes was extremely rare!
Even the leaves of an amazing existence like the Divine Tree could only add 100 HP for each leaf.
With this permanent increase of 200 HP, taking the village chief's mission was not a waste of effort.
"Thanks a lot," Chu Bai said.
"You're welcome," Huang Xin replied. Then she pointed to the inner room and said, "I don't sell the things inside. But since you were recommended by the village chief, go in and take a look. If there's anything you like and can afford, I'll sell it to you."
After saying that, Huang Xin continued reading.
Chu Bai nodded and walked in.
There were a few wooden shelves inside the room with some things on them. In addition, there was some equipment hanging on the wall.
Chu Bai casually glanced at them.
[Super HP Potion]: Immediately recovers 500 HP and 100 HP per second. Lasts for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 5 seconds. Price: 10 gold coins.

[Light Knight Class Change Scroll]: After using it, you can obtain the hidden class [Light Knight]. Price: 8,000,000 gold coins.
"…"
These things dazzled Chu Bai.
He did not expect there to be a Class Change Scroll for a hidden class.
There was also a Divine Emperor Weapon!
If others knew about this place, it would be terrible.
However, other than the permanent items, although Chu Bai wanted the other items, he was not in a hurry.
He believed that he would not lack powerful equipment in the future. He might even be able to encounter better hidden classes.
As for now, Chu Bai did not even consider the high-level equipment that he could not use in the short term. Perhaps other players would be more eager to keep one.
For those that could be used in a short period of time, such as the Demon Equipment, Holy Armor, the price was 100,000 gold coins, or 10 million yuan!
It was indeed considered the market price for such things now.
However, Chu Bai would not spend so much money to buy such equipment.
Finally, Chu Bai's gaze fell on the topmost jade bottle.
[Water of Life]: Grade: Holy Seal. Legend has it that there is a holy spring called the Spring of Life. A drop of spring water can save a dying person. Effect: After using it, you will be permanently immune to all negative effects. (Dizzy, Imprison, Freeze, Burn, Silence, Movement Speed Decrease, Instant Death, etc.). Price: 1,000,000,000 gold coins.
Chu Bai, "?"
"Holy shit?"
When he saw the Water of Life, he was completely stunned.
This thing could actually make players immune to all negative effects!
Was this an attribute that could really exist?
Also, the price was as high as… 100 billion!
However, Chu Bai knew that even if it was 100 billion, people would definitely buy it!
"Who on earth is this pharmacy owner?"
Chu Bai walked out.
"Anything you want?" Huang Xin asked indifferently.
"Yes, but I can't afford it," Chu Bai said.
"No hurry. What do you want to buy?"
"The Leaf of Life, the Flower of Strength, and the Water of Life."
Hearing Chu Bai's words, she paused slightly, put down the book, and looked at Chu Bai with her beautiful eyes. 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
"You don't want the hidden classes and equipment?"
"Compared to what I said, those aren't that important, but the price of the Water of Life is too high for me." Chu Bai said.
"Then there's no other way."
Chu Bai said, "I only have 1000 gold coins on me. I can buy a Leaf of Life first. As for the rest, please help me reserve them."
Huang Xin said, "Help me gather a bunch of Scorching Sun Flowers. I'll give you three Leaf of Life and three Flowers of Strength."
"Ding… You have triggered the mission [Collecting Scorching Sun Flower]. Mission reward: [Leaf of Life]*3, [Flower of Strength]*3. Do you accept?"
These six items added up to six hundred thousand yuan.
"Accepted."
Then, Chu Bai looked at her and said, "Alright, I'll go now."
"The Scorching Sun Flower should be in the Flame Valley. It's relatively rare. I couldn't find it last time. You can try your luck, but you have to be careful. The monsters in the Flame Valley are generally more powerful, and there should be even stronger existences."
Huang Xin gave him a reminder.
"Okay! I'll go now."
Then, Chu Bai hurried away.
Chapter 19
Huang Xin's words, "There's a stronger existence", were easy for players to understand. There should be a Boss there.
Chu Bai had to complete this mission for this 600,000 yuan.
"Ding… You have used [Leaf of Life]. Health Points permanently +100."
"Ding… You have used [Leaf of Life]. Health Points permanently +100."
After using the two Leaves of Life, Chu Bai's HP reached 980 points.
It was pretty crazy to say that a Level 8's HP almost exceeded 1,000.
As for the other players, they only had around 300 HP. Unless they leveled up and increased their Constitution, the HP they gained just from leveling up was very low. They could only rely on their equipment to support themselves.
Chu Bai directly walked toward the Flame Valley.
At this moment, Old Dream Tian Yu and Tian Xing were online again.
They put on their masks and walked into the starter village with their IDs hidden.
There were still many players in the village looking for them, but it was still difficult to find them now.
"President."
They were using their communicators to chat with Feng Ling in the game.
Having a good friend was like making a phone call.
"What happened?" Feng Ling asked.
"F*ck! President, that Bai Ye…"
They told Feng Ling everything they had experienced here.
Feng Ling's eyes narrowed.
"Is that so? I don't care what method you use, but you must kill this Bai Ye!" Feng Ling said coldly.
"President, we want to, but this Bai Ye is ridiculous. He's just a Level 5 player, but he can use a skill as if he doesn't have a cooldown. He probably got a top-tier talent and Phoenix's ultimate skill. It's ridiculous! He still has the Flame Beads too…"
"If we hadn't been chased by players, we could've gathered our members and killed him. However, Tian Xing and I can't even protect ourselves now. I'm afraid…" Old Dream Tian Yu said.
"I'll send someone to give you two items that can be brought into the game. If you can't deal with a new player with these two items, then you can get out of my sight." Feng Ling said.
"Yes!"
Clearly, Feng Ling needed to deal with Bai Ye. Firstly, that guy provoked the Feng Ling Dynasty. Secondly, he was dazzling like the sun. He was ranked first on all rankings. Feng Ling had to stomp on him. Moreover, if he was killed, he would drop the Broken Glass, which was ranked first on the equipment rankings.
…
Chu Bai soon arrived at the Flame Valley.
Rather than saying that the place was a valley, it was more like a complex mountain range formed by many valleys. There were all kinds of monsters in the valleys and even on the mountains.
The temperature here was generally very high, but it was not unbearable for them. The monsters were essentially fire-elemental.
"So many people?"
Chu Bai looked at the large number of players in the Flame Valley and was slightly stunned.
Then, he learned that the periphery of the Flame Valley was a farming spot for Level 3 and 5 monsters. Now, most players were around Level 3, so they naturally wanted to farm monsters of this level. Moreover, there were ordinary Bronze monsters here, so there was a chance of dropping Bronze equipment.
"Have you heard? There's a Boss in the Flame Valley."
"Of course, that's why I'm here. There are so many people here. Aside from farming levels, most of them are here for the Boss, but it doesn't seem to be in the periphery."
"There's one in the periphery too. A Bronze Boss has been killed, but it won't be long before it respawns. I heard from a player that he saw a Silver Boss by chance when he was farming monsters here. The Silver Boss went to the depths of the Flame Valley."
"F*ck! A Silver boss! If a Silver equipment drops… F*ck! Let's go!"
"…"
Everyone was extremely excited.
Silver-grade weapons were awesome in the early stages!
Although there were a bunch of high-grade spiritual weapons on the rankings, could there be more than a hundred of them in the Sino war zone? Moreover, those were existences that they had no chance of reaching. There were probably only one or two of them.
After weapons, they wanted armor. After having armor, they also wanted combat boots.
"Silver Boss?" Chu Bai muttered to himself.
Although there was no First Kill for it, Chu Bai was eager to get the Silver Boss EXP. Moreover, he was still using a Novice Sword. Almost everyone has a Novice Sword. Even if there were people who brought better weapons from The World, such as the equipment shown on the rankings, many of them could not use it! There was a level requirement.
Chu Bai walked into the valley.
"Look! It's Bai Ye!"
"Let's go! Follow him! We might encounter a Boss if we follow him, and we'll have the strength to fight the Boss."
"But even if we do, we can't kill the Boss. I mean, what if we somehow steal Bai Ye's Boss? Won't we be killed by him?" 𝚋𝚎d𝚗ov𝚎𝚕.co𝚖
"What's there to be afraid of? He probably won't be able to use that awesome skill as effectively as before. Now, it's nothing more than a Lightning skill with a ten-meter range. He has to charge up that skill, so it's not invincible. There are so many of us. Let's form a team and go in to take a look."
"…"
After Old Dream Tian Yu and Tian Xing logged off to collect their equipment, they brought their new things back online.
"F*ck! With this 10-second Stun Scroll, let's see if I can't kill him!"
Old Dream Tian Yu's eyes flashed with viciousness!
"Forcibly stun him for ten seconds. No matter how great his skills are, he won't be able to use them. We can easily kill him in ten seconds. Let's go! Let's go find him!" Tian Xing said.
"Where are the people from the Feng Ling Dynasty? I am Old Dream Tian Yu." Old Dream Tian Yu shouted.
Many people heard the commotion and came to their side.
They might be rushing to kill them and obtain the Blood Weeping Demon Sword, or perhaps they really did not have any ill intentions.
"It's Old Dream Tian Yu and Tian Xing! Kill them!"
"How dare you leave the starter village? Are you looking down on us? Attack!"
"Blood Weeping Demon Sword, here I come!"
"…"
For a moment, many players rushed toward them.
"Death!"
Old Dream Tian Yu's eyes narrowed as he took out a scroll and crushed it.
In the next moment, a spot dozens of meters ahead turned into a sea of fire.
"Ah—"
The players' screams came from within.
Seeing this scene, the others swallowed their saliva and revealed looks of fear.
"You're using the scroll just like that?" Tian Xing asked softly.
"It doesn't matter. The president gave us two anyway. Even if he didn't, the ten-second stun scroll is enough to kill Bai Ye. We have to show our might now," Old Dream Tian Yu said.
"Yeah."
After that, Old Dream Tian Yu scanned the surrounding crowd.
"I've taken you all seriously, right? I want to see who still dares to touch me! I'll kill you!"
He took out another scroll.
The others looked at each other, trembling in fear.
Then, Old Dream Tian Yu walked in front of someone and slapped him across the face.
"F*ck! How dare you chase me in the starter village? F*ck!"
He took out his Novice Sword and killed him in a few moves. No one else around dared to attack.
Old Dream Tian Yu swept another glance at everyone and said, "Let's see who still dares to be impudent now!"
No one dared to move.
"I'll let bygones be bygones. Now, I just want to kill Bai Ye. Members of the Feng Ling Dynasty, follow me. I guarantee that you won't die! Anyone who follows me will be rewarded with 100 gold coins."
Many people looked at each other.
"Boss, I've never chased you. I'm a member of the Feng Ling Dynasty! I'll join you!"
A person walked over.
"Hall Master, I'll join as well!"
"And me, and me!"
"…"
Old Dream Tian Yu nodded in satisfaction. "Come here. I'll give 100 gold coins to each of you."
When those people received the money, they looked pleasantly surprised.
"Anyone else?" Old Dream Tian Yu shouted.
More and more people gathered here.
"Good!" He nodded in satisfaction.
"Does anyone know where Bai Ye is?" Old Dream Tian Yu asked.
"In the Flame Valley," a player said.
"Follow me to the Flame Valley and kill him! Let's go!"
The group headed to the Flame Valley.
Chapter 20
Flame Valley.
Chu Bai was fighting a group of monsters with the Novice Sword in his hand.
There were many players following him. They were also fighting monsters. When they saw Chu Bai leave, they slowly followed.
"Heavenly Lightning Break!"
Boom—
After killing two more Flame Rats, Chu Bai continued to walk forward.
"Oh my god, is this Bai Ye's skill really not on cooldown? We saw him farming monsters just now, right? I watched him for ten minutes, and his skill casts almost never stopped, and why isn't his mana dropping either?"
"Isn't this talent too broken? Skills with no cooldown and no mana consumption. Isn't this invincible?"
"Obviously, it's impossible for there to be such a bug-like skill. It's probably because this particular skill has no cooldown and no mana consumption. After all, I didn't see him use other skills limitlessly."
"In that case, I guess it's balanced. He's only in the early stages, and everyone's skills and equipment will be upgraded later on. His skill is full of flaws, so it's not actually that strong."
"…"
Everyone discussed animatedly.
"F*ck! A Silver Boss!"
Suddenly, someone discovered a lion that looked like it was on fire under a tree in front of them.
"No! It's a Gold Boss! F*ck! A Gold Boss!"
Everyone was both terrified and excited!
"Quick! Someone! There's a Level 5 Gold boss here! It's only Level 5! Quick!"
The surrounding people gathered together. In an instant, there were two to three hundred people.
Chu Bai also looked at the Gold Boss.
[Flaming Lion]: Level: 5, Grade: Gold Boss, Health Points: 12,000. A powerful fire-type monster that lives in the Flame Valley. It has extremely powerful fire-type abilities and destructive melee power. It is very fierce and has very high agility.
Skill: [Flame Roar]: Charges up power on the spot for one second, then release a powerful Flame Roar. It can reach as far as 15 meters and deal damage to struck units every second. There is a 10% chance of having a 5-second burn effect. The Flame Roar can last for up to 5 seconds. Cooldown: 30 seconds.
[Berserker]: Releases the powerful power of fire in the body, increasing Attack Power by 100%, Movement Speed by 100%, but reduces defense by 50%. Lasts for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 3 minutes.
[Flame Pillar]: Detonates an area of five meters within a 20-meter radius. Instant skill, instantly raises the Flame Pillar. Deals damage to the target and has a 10% chance of inflicting a five-second burn effect. Cooldown: 1 minute.
[Tri-Shadow Berserker]: Forcibly lose 10% of your own maximum HP and condenses three clones. Each clone has your current attributes and skills. Other than the [Tri-Shadow Berserker] skill, all other skills can also be released. The clones can last for a minute at most. During this period, the main body's defense will be reduced by 50%. Cooldown: one hour.
"Is it that strong?"
This was the first time Chu Bai had seen the strength of this Gold tier boss in Destiny!
The previous Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor was a special case.
A Level 5 Gold Boss. The strength of these four skills was extremely insane. It was nearly twice as strong as any other game he had played before!
"13,000 HP. Do you think we can kill him with just a few hundred of us?"
"Don't worry, he's only Level 5. Even if he's a Gold Boss, his Defense won't be too high. With so many people, melee players will distract it, and ranged players will continue to attack. As long as ranged players have enough space to attack, it won't take long for him to die with 13,000 HP."
"Attack! As for who the final monster belongs to, that will depend on fate!"
"…"
No one could resist the temptation of a Level 5 Gold boss!
It was mainly because there were enough players here.
"Great Bai Ye, you won't steal our kills, right?" someone asked.
They could fight, but they were most afraid of Chu Bai stealing monsters.
Chu Bai indifferently said, "Go ahead and fight. I won't snatch it."
"But you stole Old Dream Tian Yu's kill last time," someone said worriedly.
"That's because I have a grudge against him." be𝚍nove𝚕.com
After saying that, Chu Bai climbed onto a tree in the distance and leisurely ate a bun.
"Brothers, if Bai Ye won't kill-steal, let's go!"
The players' last bit of worry was gone.
"Go!"
Chu Bai sat on a tree branch and watched as the players charged toward the Flaming Lion.
He would not kill-steal, but Chu Bai also knew that these players could not beat this Boss.
Just based on the four skills of this Boss, it was not something that hundreds of ordinary players could kill.
Unless they had an impressive control-type talent to forcefully stun and imprison, they had no chance.
However, this kind of skill would be considered a top-tier talent even if it controlled the target for only a second. If it was only for a second, though, they would still be unable to defeat this Boss.
Chu Bai could use these people to drain some of the monster's health, or even force out its Ultimate.
With 13,000 HP, even Chu Bai would not have an easy time with it. Even if he did not have a cooldown for Heavenly Lightning Break, this Boss could kill Chu Bai with just two hits. Facing a Gold Boss, Heavenly Lightning Break also needed a full second to accumulate power, so it was not invincible.
His conscience?
Hehehe, how could a game of life and death need a conscience?
One was willing to fight, and the other was willing to suffer. They were willing to fight the Gold boss for their own greed, so they had to pay the price.
The player's attacks landed on the Flaming Lion.
-13, -21, -11, MISS
The damage was very low. After all, their Attack Power was not higher than 50. However, it was already not bad for them to deal 10 to 20 damage. If it was a Level 10 Gold Boss, they probably would not be able to break through its defense.
However, quantitative change led to qualitative change.
With hundreds of players attacking at the same time, even if one person dealt 10 damage per second, it would add up to thousands.
"Let me do it. I have Ice attacks."
A player cast a Freezing skill on the Flaming Lion and shot an Icicle at it. The Flaming Lion was instantly frozen on the spot.
"Attack!"
Then, their attacks landed on the Flaming Lion.
However, this situation could only last for two seconds.
Roar—
The Flaming Lion roared.
Not far away, flames appeared under the feet of a group of players without warning. Then, a sea of flame instantly erupted.
"Ah—"
Over a dozen players received over -500 damage, but none of them had that much HP. All of them died instantly.
"Careful! This is an instant-cast Flame Pillar!" someone shouted.
Then, the Flaming Lion stood still and attacked. It roared angrily, opened its mouth, and spat out flames from its mouth.
As it sprayed the flames, the Flaming Lion could even move its head to let the flames change trajectory.
"Run! Run!"
Everyone was shocked.
With just this skill, dozens of players were killed in five seconds!
Even though they were already prepared, their reaction time and speed were simply unable to dodge this skill!
The Flaming Lion roared and pounced on the crowd.
When the Flaming Lion leaped, the ranged players had already lost the terrain advantage to deal damage.
Next was the Flaming Lion's massacre. The players fled in all directions.
If these few hundred people were an orderly and organized team, they could have dealt with this Level 5 Gold Boss.
"Great Bai Ye, save me!"
"Great Bai Ye, save me!"
"Save me, Great Bai Ye. I've already died once. I don't want to die. Boohoo—"
Everyone cried out.
Chu Bai accumulated a Heavenly Lightning Break from the tree.
Boom—
Then, Chu Bai directly smashed the attack down.
-801
A huge damage number appeared on the Flaming Lion's body.
Attack Power: 142. Heavenly Lightning Break strikes the Center, dealing three times the damage. Then, the damage of the Strength Gem doubled it. After deducting the damage from Defense, the attack landed.
However, although Chu Bai's damage was so high that it looked like he could kill the Flaming Lion in less than twenty Heavenly Lightning Breaks, it was definitely not that simple.
Firstly, the Flaming Lion was very fast. It could easily escape the ten-meter radius of the lightning.
Secondly, Heavenly Lightning Break needed one second to accumulate power. This accumulation time was not invincible. This was a good opportunity for the Flaming Lion to instantly kill Chu Bai.
Thirdly, the Flaming Lion's Attack Power was very high, and it was very difficult for Chu Bai to dodge its skills. However, seeing the damage this Boss dealt to other players, Chu Bai still had a chance of not being instantly killed.
Everyone dispersed, and Chu Bai faced the Flaming Lion.
"Down by 4,000 HP, alright."
Then, Chu Bai willed into effect.
"Lil Xue'er."
With a flash of light, Lil Xue'er appeared beside Chu Bai.
"Go to a safe place."
"Woo—"
Lil Xue'er cried out and jumped onto a tree.
Whoosh—
Chu Bai held the Novice Sword and rushed over.
He could use a Flame Bead, but there was no need.
Chu Bai arched his neck.
Chapter 21
After that, the players scattered and hid far away to watch Chu Bai fight.
Chu Bai and the Flaming Lion's figures continued to intertwine. Occasionally, Chu Bai's attacks would land on the Flaming Lion's body, causing over 200 damage.
Whoosh—
Chu Bai suddenly pulled away.
"Heavenly Lightning Break!"
It took one second to accumulate power, but with the distance, the Flaming Lion could not do anything.
Just as the Flaming Lion arrived in front of Chu Bai, Chu Bai finished accumulating power and jumped.
-803
"F*ck you! We're all players who came into the game together. Why does Bai Ye have a skill that can damage a Gold boss for more than 800 HP? We're all beginners. Why?"
"But it's not easy for him either. He can't keep using this ultimate move. If he needs time to accumulate power, he'll be instantly killed."
"Is that little white fox Chu Bai's pet? It's so cute. Why doesn't it join the battle?"
"…"
Boom—
A pillar of flames burst out from under Chu Bai's feet.
There was no way to dodge this skill! It was an instantaneous skill with a range of five meters.
-451
The huge damage instantly emptied half of Chu Bai's health bar.
Chu Bai's Defense was 134.
"Oh my god! 451 damage only cleared half of Bai Ye's HP? He has close to 1,000 HP?"
"I only have 300 HP, but he has 1,000? Why is the difference between so big?!"
"But Bai Ye seems to be dying. If he gets hit by another skill, he will be insta-killed, right?"
"…"
However…
+451
A green healing number suddenly appeared above Chu Bai's head, and his health bar instantly returned to full.
Lil Xue'er's Heavenly Healing had a maximum HP recovery of 50% and only had a cooldown of 30 seconds.
Everyone was speechless.
"What the hell?! Is his health back to full?"
"It's his pet, CalamityFox. F*ck! A Grade 7 pet? Is this a Grade 7 pet? How can a skill restore his HP to full?"
"It has to be. There doesn't seem to be anything to be shocked about. It's probably fixed at 500 health points. It won't be of any use in the middle stages of the game. After all, it's only a Grade 7 pet. How powerful can it be?"
"…"
With Lil Xue'er around, Chu Bai threw caution to the wind!
"Heavenly Lightning Break!"
-800
Another huge damage appeared above the Flaming Lion's head.
"Roar…"
The Flaming Lion seemed to have been forced into a corner. It roared angrily, and flames burned all over its body.
"It's Berserker! The Flaming Lion has gone berserk."
"Increased movement speed. Double attacks. If Bai Ye gets hit, he should be insta-killed."
"…"
This was what Chu Bai was afraid of. The doubled attack speed meant that it was impossible for Chu Bai to fight head-on with the Flaming Lion. Moreover, it was very difficult for Chu Bai to keep dodging his attacks.
Now, Chu Bai was starting to miss the Flash skill.
Whoosh—
The Flaming Lion charged toward Chu Bai at an extremely fast speed.
Chu Bai dodged to the side, and at the same time, the sword in his hand slashed at the monster's side.
-213
Ten seconds!
This amplification only lasted for ten seconds.
Chu Bai kept dodging.
Roar—
The Flame Roar shot toward Chu Bai.
Chu Bai's movement speed was limited, so it was impossible for him to follow the Flame Roar.
After running two steps, Chu Bai jumped up, and the flames swept past his feet.
The Flaming Lion raised its head, and flames surged toward Chu Bai.
-819
A huge damage marker appeared above Chu Bai's head again, almost emptying his health bar.
"Ding… You have been burned."
-100
He was just 61 HP away from being killed.
"Lil Xue'er!" Chu Bai shouted.
"Woo—"
At the same time, a white light emerged from Lil Xue'er's body, and a white light also appeared on Chu Bai's body.
+98, -100, +98, -100,
Lil Xue'er's Holy Spirit Light recovered 10% of her maximum HP every second for 10 seconds.
Then, as Chu Bai ran, he used a Medium HP Potion and a Small HP Potion.
+200, +100, -100, +98
The potion had a five-second cooldown.
Now was Chu Bai's most critical time!
"Made it!"
After thirty seconds, Chu Bai's body flashed again.
+490
The enhancement effect of the Flaming Lion also disappeared.
Chu Bai's reckless abandon again.
Everyone was speechless.
The others were stunned.
"F*ck! He didn't die?"
"He was forcibly healing. The Calamity Fox's healing skill has such a short cooldown. Just 30 seconds?"
"Isn't that a bit too much for this stage?"
They had yet to learn that Lil Xue'er's skill was the maximum HP recovery.
"Heavenly Lightning Break!"
Boom— bed𝚗o𝚟𝚎𝚕.𝚌𝚘m
Chu Bai used his ultimate move again.
-803
The Flaming Lion only had a little more than 6,000 HP left.
At this moment, the Flaming Lion finally used its ultimate skill, Tri-Shadow Berserker.
-1300
Releasing this skill required it to lose 10% of its maximum health.
After that, three similar Flaming Lions appeared beside it.
"Finally."
Chu Bai's lips curled up.
"Ding… You have obtained the ultimate skill, Tri-Shadow Berserker."
Then…
"Tri-shadow Berserker!"
Chu Bai directly released it.
-98
Whoosh—
Three figures of Chu Bai wielding novice swords appeared beside him.
"Tri-shadow Berserker!"
Three more appeared.
-98
"Tri-shadow Berserker!"
-98
"Tri-shadow Berserker!"
-98
With the Healing effect, Chu Bai was able to release it five times in a row!
15 clones appeared.
Everyone was speechless.
"Oh my god! What's this? How can he cast the Tri-shadow Berserker? Isn't this the skill of the Flaming Lion?"
"Talent? This is his talent? F*ck! Then what was that skill that could unleash unlimited ultimate moves? What's going on? Ahhh!"
"…"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Smash it!"
Then, Chu Bai controlled the 15 doppelgangers and ignored the three doppelgangers of the Flaming Lion. At the same time, he accumulated Heavenly Lightning Break.
Whoosh—
Other than Chu Bai, the other clones also attacked in unison.
Just as the three Flaming Lion clones attacked, the Heavenly Lightning Break had already descended.
Boom—
A huge tremor came from the ground.
And then…
More than ten Heavenly Lightning Breaks sent the Flaming Lion to its death.
"Ding… Your level has increased to Level 9. Health Points +10, Mana Points +10. You have received 5 points to freely distribute attributes."
"Ding… Lil Xue'er has leveled up to Level 3. Health Points +100, Mana Points +1,000, Magic Attack Power +100."
Chu Bai leveled up and his condition returned to full stats.
The others who were prepared to kill Chu Bai instantly dropped their plans.
"Just one level?"
Chu Bai looked at his experience bar and sighed at the difficulty of leveling up in Destiny.
Moreover, every time he leveled up, the experience required would increase exponentially.
However, now that Lil Xue'er was sharing experience points with Chu Bai, this was the bad thing about having a pet. However, Chu Bai did not feel deterred by that. Lil Xue'er was too amazing.
"Ding… congratulations on obtaining the first kill of the Gold boss. Reputation +10,000, Gold Coins +100."
"Ding… congratulations on obtaining the first kill of the Gold boss. The system will make a worldwide announcement. Do you want to hide your ID?"
"No hiding."
…
99,999 Starter Village.
More than 200 people were attacking a giant spider.
"Let me do it!"
The Giant Spider only had 100 HP left, so Feng Ling rushed over.
"Kk! Kk!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
-98, -98
He had successfully killed the Gold Boss Giant Spider!
"Phew—"
Feng Ling let out a long sigh of relief. He had leveled up to Level 7 and successfully made it into the top ten of the Level Rankings. He smiled.
"Thank you, everyone. Without you, there would be no First Clear of the Gold boss. Everyone will get a share of the money I promised you!"
Feng Ling said to the people from the Feng Ling Dynasty.
Now that he had achieved the first kill of the Gold boss, he should be able to regain his face, right?
10,000 per person! For this first kill, he had spent millions!
No way!
"President is awesome!"
"Feng Ling Dynasty, onward!"
"Onward! The Guild Master is awesome!"
"…"
Everyone agreed.
Feng Ling laughed.
"Yes?"
Then he froze.
What about the first kill system notification?
At this moment…
"Ding… Attention all players. Player [Bai Ye] from Starter Village 77777 has completed the first kill of the Gold Boss. This is the announcement."
"Ding… Attention all players. Player [Bai Ye] from Starter Village 77777 has completed the first kill of the Gold Boss. This is the announcement."
"Ding…"
Feng Ling, "?"
Chapter 22
Feng Ling blew up!
He had spent millions just to find a Gold Boss and kill it as a group. He planned to make a world announcement and let him regain his dignity. At the same time, he would let everyone know about him and use this as an advertisement for his guild.
Yet…
The Boss had been killed, and the system announcement was for Bai Ye!
"F*ck! F*ck!"
Feng Ling gritted his teeth!
Was Bai Ye his nemesis?
Twice, twice!
The players who had just called him awesome were also embarrassed.
Feng Ling took out his communicator.
"Hey, are you eating sh*t? You haven't attacked him yet?" Feng Ling snarled angrily.
Old Dream Tian Yu's voice came from the other side.
"President, we're already on our way. We've gathered more than 300 people and are about to arrive," Old Dream Tian Yu hurriedly said.
"Hurry up!" Feng Ling shouted angrily.
"Yes! Yes!"
Then, Feng Ling hung up the communicator, his eyes flashing with killing intent!
"Bai Ye! I want you dead!"
…
On the other end, Old Dream Tian Yu hung up the communicator and shouted to the people behind him, "Hurry up! Hurry up and follow."
As they passed Flame Valley, they met many players, so it was easy for them to know where Chu Bai was.
"Dammit! This Bai Ye actually had the ability to kill a Gold boss! I'll kill him!"
Old Dream Tian Yu gritted his teeth as his expression turned malevolent.
Under the envious and shocked gazes of many people, Chu Bai walked to the place where the Blazing Lion died.
"Gold weapon! F*ck!"
When the players saw a piece of equipment that shone with golden light, their eyes widened.
At this stage, even if it was a Level 5 Gold-grade weapon, it would be worth at least a million.
This was the first kill of a Gold boss, which meant that this was the first Gold equipment in the entire world!
Even though there were powerful equipments on the leaderboard, there were only a few of them. Gold weapons could not be brought in from the previous game.
"There's also a Silver Equipment and a Bronze Equipment. Dammit! Isn't this Bai Ye too lucky?"
Chu Bai checked the stats of the Gold grade weapon.
[Flame Staff]: Grade: Gold, Usage Level: 5, Usage Requirements: Mage, a staff that contains powerful fire attribute power, is an absolute blessing for fire attribute Mages. Attributes: Spirit +20, Mana +1,000, Magic Attack +100, Skill Casting Speed increased by 20%, Fire attribute skill damage increased by 30%.
Skill: [Flame Pillar]: Chant for 2 seconds, then release the Flame Spell. Effect: Within a 20-meter radius, any chosen 5-meter radius will instantly form a Flame Pillar, dealing damage to the target equal to the current Magic Attack. There is also a 100% burn effect of 5 seconds, decreasing 100 HP per second. Cooldown: 5 minutes.
[Flame Protection]: Casts a spell for one second, releasing powerful flames to form a barrier of power. Effect: Can block 1,000 damage. During this period, the damage dealt will increase by 50%. Lasts for 10 seconds. If the shield is broken, it will enter an early cooldown. Cooldown: 15 minutes.
"Unfortunately, it's a staff."
Chu Bai muttered to himself.
It was naturally useless to a swordsman like him.
Then, Chu Bai looked at the Silver equipment.
[Blazing War Boots]: Grade: Silver, Usage Level: 5, Usage Requirements: Any class. The boots dropped by the Golden Boss, Flaming Lion, contain the powerful agility of the Flaming Lion. Attributes: Health +200, Defense +30, Movement Speed +50, movement speed reduction effect reduced by 20%.
Skill: [Haste]: Releases the power of the Blazing War Boots. Effect: Increases movement speed by 50% and leaves flames in the path of movement. All enemies that touch it will receive 100 points of damage. Duration: 10 seconds. Cooldown: 2 minutes.
This was good for Chu Bai. After all, Chu Bai's combat boots were newbie cloth shoes.
Then, Chu Bai directly equipped the Flaming War Boots.
Character: Bai Ye
Level: 9
Title: None
Hunger: 78
Reputation: 211,000
Three fixed attributes: Luck: 15, Charm: 15, Comprehension: 15
Four basic attributes: Constitution: 20, Spirit: 50, Strength: 105, Agility: 20
Health Points: 1,190
Mana: 590
Attack Power: 152
Magic Attack: 100
Defense: 162
SPD: 92
Critical Strike Rate: 0
This was Chu Bai's current stats!
Level 8 HP exceeded 1,000.
However, his Attack Power was too low. Chu Bai was not satisfied with this.
Therefore, what Chu Bai was most unhappy about was that he did not get a Swordsman weapon! He was still using a beginner's sword, even though some players were at least using steel swords by now.
The last bronze weapon was a Level 5 Assassin's dagger, and it had little to do with Chu Bai.
"Hm? A skill book?"
Chu Bai looked at a book on the ground.
[Flaming Triple Slash Skill Book]: After using it, you can obtain the skill, Flaming Triple Slash.
Chu Bai only had Swordsman Slash and Ode of the Phoenix, so he needed a skill.
Chu Bai crushed the book and used it.
"Ding… You have learned the skill [Flaming Triple Slash]."
[Flaming Triple Slash]: A Blade Master skill that does not need to be charged up. It has strong attack power and is an area-of-effect skill. Effect: The Flaming Triple Slash is divided into three parts. The first part is a Flame Slash with a range of five meters, dealing damage equal to current Attack Power to enemies within a straight line of five meters. The second part is a horizontal slash, dealing current Attack Power damage to enemies within a distance of five meters and a width of five meters. The third part is a Leap Slash. When it lands on the ground, it deals 2* current Attack Power damage to all enemies within a five-meter radius. It also has a knockback effect. Each attack of the skill has a 10% chance of causing a burn effect. Lasts for three seconds, decreasing 100 HP per second. Mana cost: 100. Cooldown: 30 seconds.
"F*ck! It's only 30 seconds of cooldown?"
Chu Bai was stunned.
After so many years of gaming experience, such a powerful skill would be ridiculous if it did not have at least a two-minute cooldown! In total, it would deal four times the damage of his Attack Power, not to mention the burn effect and control effect.
Swordsman Slash had a 10-second cooldown.
The Flaming Triple Slash had a 30-second cooldown. This could easily be a skill that he often used.
There was nothing else on the ground now.
Then, Chu Bai squatted down and cast Gather on the corpse.
"Ding… Target has no item to collect."
Chu Bai stood up.
"Great Bai Ye, are you selling the equipment?"
Someone came over and asked.
"That's right. Are you selling your Silver and Bronze equipment? I'll buy them."
"I'll pay 30,000 for Bronze Equipment! I'll pay 100,000 for the Silver!"
"Tsk, you want to buy Silver equipment for 100,000? Aren't you being too stingy? I'll pay 200,000."
"…"
There were still some rich players among the players. After all, after playing the games for a few years, some people might be lucky enough to encounter a piece of valuable equipment that was worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Of course, it depended on the game period.
In the early stages, Bronze, Silver, and Gold were very valuable, but in the later stages, they were naturally worthless.
The reason why people bought them in the early stages was, firstly, for their safety so they would not die easily. Secondly, if theyhad higher attributes, they had a chance to become an expert! They could walk faster and further than others.
"They're not for sale."
After Chu Bai finished speaking, he walked away.
Then, he sent a message to Jiangyue Qianying and sent the attributes of the Bronze equipment and the Gold-grade Flame Staff.
"Are you buying?" Chu Bai asked.
It was obvious that the price offered by Jiangyue Qianying was more satisfactory than any of those players.
"I'll buy it! 40,000 for the Flame Dagger and 1.2 million for the Flame Staff. What do you think?"
In theory, a Gold grade weapon was more valuable. However, this was only a Level 5 Gold grade weapon!
Chu Bai felt that this price was not a problem.
Chu Bai replied, "Alright! I'll go back and find a place to trade with you later."
"No problem. I'll prepare the money."
A group of players suddenly rushed over to the place Chu Bai was a moment ago.
"Where is he? Did you see Bai Ye?"
Old Dream Tian Yu looked at the players and asked.
"Bai Ye just left."
"He just got a Gold weapon."
"…"
"Does anyone want to follow me to kill Bai Ye? After we kill him, the equipment will belong to whoever gets it," Old Dream Tian Yu asked.
When everyone heard this, they were extremely tempted.
"Me!"
"Me, me, me! I'll go too!"
"D*mn it! That Bai Ye just left us in the lurch. He was so powerful, but he insisted that we go first to reduce the boss's HP and send us to our deaths before attacking! F*ck! Damn it!"
"Speaking of which… didn't you guys tell him not to attack because you were afraid that he would kill-steal the monster?"
"…"
"Let's go!"
Old Dream Tian Yu and Tian Xing led a group of people to chase after Chu Bai.
Soon, they saw Chu Bai farming monsters in front of them.
"Bai Ye!"
Old Dream Tian Yu stared at Chu Bai!
"Surround him."
"Yes!"
In an instant, hundreds of players surrounded Chu Bai with the help of the relatively flat terrain.
Chapter 23
Old Dream Tian Yu had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Although it had only been a few hours!
To him, however, every second felt like a year!
When had he ever experienced this in the game?
With his status as the Hall Leader of the Feng Ling Dynasty, he would be looked up to wherever he went.
However, Bai Ye's appearance made him lose face!
He wished he could get his revenge as soon as possible. The past few hours had been hard on him.
However, everything was fine now. Bai Ye was right in front of him, and he was surrounded.
Chu Bai looked at them and smiled.
"Do you still want the Blood Weeping Demon Sword? These two are right beside you." Chu Bai said to the players.
Of course they wanted it, but…
"Hahaha! Bai Ye, do you think they will help you? Why would the people of the Feng Ling Dynasty help you? Blood Weeping Demon Sword? I'll kill you and give them the sword!" Old Dream Tian Yu sneered.
Chu Bai laughed. "With just you guys? Before this, none of you had the ability. What right do you have now?"
"Woo—"
Lil Xue'er, who was on Chu Bai's shoulder, called out to them provocatively.
"Hahaha! Why?"
Then, Old Dream Tian Yu took out the scroll!
"Is this Forced Stun Scroll enough to convince you?"
Hearing this, the surrounding people revealed surprised expressions.
"I was wondering why the Hall Master came looking for Bai Ye. So it turns out that he has this scroll!"
"I've heard of it before. It seems to be a 10-second stun! After being stunned for 10 seconds, you won't even know how you died."
"F*ck! Bai Ye is dead for sure!"
"…"
Chu Bai frowned slightly.
Could he have brought this thing into this game?
"Hahahaha!"
Old Dream Tian Yu laughed.
"Are you afraid? Who asked you to provoke me? Go to hell. F*ck you."
After saying that, he directly crushed the Forced Stun Scroll and targeted Chu Bai.
"Ding… You have been stunned. Lasts for 10 seconds."
This system notification sounded in Chu Bai's mind.
"Hahahaha—"
On the other side, Old Dream Tian Yu laughed loudly.
Then, his eyes focused on Chu Bai.
"This is what you get for messing with me."
Whoosh—
He drew his bronze sword.
"Go to hell!"
He did not plan to let anyone else take action. He could kill Chu Bai alone in ten seconds. The other people's arrival was purely to make him feel safer.
However…
Suddenly, a white light erupted from Chu Bai's body.
"Woo—"
Lil Xue'er cried out and released her Holy Spirit Light.
[Holy Spirit Light]: The power of the Holy Spirit bestows upon the world. Effect: Releases the Holy Spirit Light for 10 seconds, enveloping up to 5 units including the user. Removes all negative effects and restores 10% of maximum HP every second. At the same time, immunity to all negative effects for 10 seconds. Mana cost: 1,000. Cooldown: 2 minutes.
"Ding… You have removed the stun effect."
Chu Bai opened his eyes.
"What?"
Old Dream Tian Yu and all the other players who rushed over revealed expressions of disbelief.
"How… how did he remove the control effect? That's a Divine Emperor-level scroll! Even a Divine Emperor-level beast would have to stand there obediently for ten seconds to be stunned! How did he…"
"It's his pet! It's his pet's skill! It's that Calamity Fox that removed his control!"
Old Dream Tian Yu, "?"
He only saw a playful smile on Chu Bai's face.
"Flaming Triple Slash!"
Chu Bai slashed at Old Dream Tian Yu.
He dodged the vertical flaming sword.
However, the second horizontal sword attack successfully hit.
-290
A huge damage instantly reduced two-thirds of his health bar.
With the third strike, Chu Bai leaped and smashed at the Old Dream Tian Yu with flames.
This strike was like heavenly lightning.
"No…"
Old Dream Tian Yu's pupils constricted violently, but he could no longer dodge!
"F*ck!"
At the last moment, Old Dream Tian Yu took out a scroll and crushed it. His figure disappeared from the spot.
Everyone, "?"
"You guys are really happy using my things."
After Chu Bai landed and saw him disappear, he muttered coldly in his heart.
Then, he looked at the players who surrounded him.
Gulp—
They could not help but gulp.
Holding his weapon, Chu Bai considered what to do.
Then, Chu Bai looked at Tian Xing.
Gulp—
Tian Xing gulped.
"F*ck! You f*cking Old Dream Tian Yu! You had a spatial scroll in your hands! You're selling me out!"
Tian Xing muttered angrily in his heart.
Then, he saw Chu Bai rush toward him.
Tian Xing was shocked.
"Attack! Attack! Stop him!" Tian Xing shouted in panic as he ran into the distance.
Attack?
The players from the Feng Ling Dynasty were not idiots. Who would dare to step up? If their leader ran away, they would not be able to move!
Chu Bai chased after Tian Xing without any obstruction!
Tian Xing shouted in horror as he ran, "Attack! I'll give all my assets to whoever steps up! Go!"
"Attack, my *ss. I'll just be taking a bullet for you. I don't dare."
"I'm not stupid."
"If we're up against a normal player, we could have stepped up, but who can stop Bai Ye? Even if I revived after dying, why should I believe that you would fulfill your promise? I'm not stopping him."
"…"
Everyone was muttering under their breaths.
"Haste!"
Chu Bai activated the Flaming War Boots' Haste skill. His speed increased by 50%, and he quickly approached Tian Xing!
"Mountain Crushing Slash!"
Seeing that Chu Bai had caught up to him, Tian Xing jumped up and slashed at Chu Bai. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚
-1
Tian Xing, "?"
He was dumbfounded.
One point of mandatory damage?
What is this?
He had 70 Attack Power, and Mountain Crushing Slash's damage increased that by 50%. The damage was close to 100 points, but it only dealt 1 mandatory damage to him?
Chu Bai's Gold-grade Heavenly Demon Armor was not for show! After all, it was a Gold-grade equipment! In the early stages, if you did not have Gold-grade weapon, what right did you have to break through the defense of a Gold-grade armor?
"If you want to break through my defense, you have to at least have a Silver-grade equipment, right? Otherwise, why would Gold-grade equipment be so valuable?"
Whoosh—
Chu Bai stabbed him in the chest.
-293
The huge damage emptied four-fifths of his health bar.
"Ah—"
Tian Xing screamed and slipped to the ground.
Chu Bai landed beside him and placed the sword by his neck.
Gulp—
Tian Xing gulped.
"Don't! Bai Ye, Bai Ye, don't kill me, don't kill me!"
Tian Xing lay there in fear, not daring to move.
Because of his fear, his face was twitching.
Of course he was afraid!
He had already died once. If he died again, he would really die.
"Now you know how to beg for mercy?"
Chu Bai sneered at Tian Xing.
"I'm sorry… I'm sorry. I was really wrong. It's Old Dream Tian Yu. He kept asking me to deal with you. I'm sorry, Bai Ye. Please spare my life. I'll do anything you want me to…"
-291
Before he could finish his last word, Chu Bai's sword slashed his neck and emptied his health bar.
Gulp—
The players in the distance could not help but gulp.
Chapter 24
Tian Xing was dead!?
Although they often saw players die, some people felt that the death of these players was a distant thing.
Tian Xing was one of them!
Although he was not in the top 20 of the Leaderboard, he was still the vice hall master of the White Tiger Hall of the Feng Ling Dynasty. He was still in the top 100.
The nation had two billion people. Excluding those who did not enter, there were still more than one billion players! It was already very impressive to be ranked in the top few hundred among the one billion players.
However, such a person had been killed… and by the same person twice in a row.
"Holy sh*t! Tian Xing is really dead! F*ck!"
"Although it's normal to die, who would have thought that he would die in the starter village? He could only have died at the hands of a powerful monster. He was actually killed in the starter village."
"But it's over for Bai Ye. He killed the White Tiger Hall's Vice Hall Master. This grudge has been formed with Feng Ling Dynasty. There are not many members in the starter village right now. Once he leaves the starter village, there will be members of the Feng Ling Dynasty wherever there are players. They might be able to gather tens of thousands of people in an hour. He won't be able to play in the future."
"…"
"Phew… Phew…"
After Old Dream Tian Yu left, he sat down, panting heavily.
He was so close to death just now.
Fortunately, he had the Space Scroll from The World that allowed him to travel anywhere within a thousand meters. Otherwise, he would have been a corpse by now.
However…
When Old Dream Tian Yu thought of Feng Ling, he gulped.
He glanced at the message from his friend.
"Tian Xing was killed."
His pupils dilated.
That Bai Ye really dared to kill the core members of the Feng Ling Dynasty?
Following that, Old Dream Tian Yu used his communicator to call Feng Ling.
"How was it?" Feng Ling asked instantly after picking up the call.
He thought that there should be no problem.
"President, Tian Xing is dead," Old Dream Tian Yu said.
"I asked you if Bai Ye is dead."
Feng Ling did not seem to care about the life and death of his people.
"No… we failed."
"F*ck! Trash!" Feng Ling cursed.
"President, Bai Ye's pet seems to have a skill that can dispel control effects. Originally, Bai Ye was already stunned, and killing him was a matter of time, but… Who would have thought that a Grade 7 pet in the Starter Village could dispel control effects? It dispelled a Divine Emperor-level scroll."
Feng Ling clenched his fists.
"President, you really can't blame me for this. No one expected such a situation to happen."
Feng Ling took a deep breath and asked, "Where's the Blazing Fire Scroll? It can't kill him either?"
"Blazing Fire Scroll… There was no time to use it at all. I couldn't even take it out. President, I only have 150 HP left. I need to watch out or I'll get killed by him," Old Dream Tian Yu said sadly.
"150 HP? What nonsense is this? Can he take out 150 HP in one hit?"
"He took 300 HP in one hit."
Feng Ling, "…"
F*ck! Why?!
"Phew—"
Feng Ling took a deep breath.
"Trash! If you can't kill Bai Ye, you can forget about being the White Tiger Hall's Hall Master."
Feng Ling hung up.
…
On the other side, Chu Bai carried Lil Xue'er on his shoulder and continued deeper into the Flame Valley.
"Lil Xue'er, here."
Chu Bai handed a meat bun to Lil Xue'er.
"Woo—"
Lil Xue'er cried out happily and sat on Chu Bai's shoulder. The two little paws in front of her held the meat buns as she ate happily.
She was too cute. This little fox was too cute. Even a man like Chu Bai found her adorable.
It was all thanks to Lil Xue'er that he was able to survive this time.
Moreover, Chu Bai could not understand why Lil Xue'er's favorability toward him was 90 points when she first recognized him as her master.
Ordinary pets would only have a favorability of about 60 after they recognized their master. If it was below a certain level, the pet would leave the master-servant contract.
This was also the only way to terminate the master-servant relationship other than the death of the pet.
"Eat more. There's still more after you're done eating," Chu Bai said with a smile.
"Woo—"
Lil Xue'er kissed Chu Bai's neck.
Chu Bai smiled and carried her on his shoulder.
"Scorching Sun Flower, a spirit herb that lives in a scorching place. The entire Flame Valley is suitable for the growth of the Scorching Sun Flower, but you have to find a place where the sun can't shine."
Chu Bai muttered to himself.
The plant lived in a hot area, but no sunlight could shine on it. This was the environment where the Scorching Sun Flower grew.
In front of him, the monsters had generally reached Level 8, which was nothing to Chu Bai.
"Woo—"
At this moment, Lil Xue'er kept calling out to Chu Bai.
"Hmm? Is something there?"
Chu Bai turned his head and glanced at Lil Xue'er on his shoulder.
"Woo—"
Lil Xue'er jumped down from Chu Bai's shoulder and ran forward.
"Wait for me, Xue'er."
Chu Bai chased after her.
After running for a while, Lil Xue'er turned her head to check on Chu Bai's position before continuing to run forward.
"Did Lil Xue'er discover the Scorching Sun Flower?"
Soon, Lil Xue'er brought Chu Bai to a cave.
In the pitch-black and scorching cave, a fiery red flower grew in a corner.
Chu Bai looked over.
"Scorching Sun Flower!" 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Chu Bai revealed a pleasantly surprised expression and quickly walked over.
[Scorching Sun Flower]: Grade: Demon, a spiritual medicine that grows in hot areas. It has very magical effects.
"Woo—"
Lil Xue'er was still calling out to Chu Bai non-stop.
"Yes?"
When Chu Bai saw that Lil Xue'er was about to continue walking into the cave, he frowned.
"Didn't you bring me here for the Scorching Sun Flower?"
Lil Xue'er nodded.
"Wait for me. I'll collect the Scorching Sun Flower first."
Chu Bai squatted beside the Scorching Sun Flower and cast Gather.
"Ding… Gathering failed. Gathering proficiency increased."
"Ding… Gathering failed. Gathering proficiency increased."
"Ding… Your Gathering skill has been upgraded to Level 2."
Previously, he had used Gathering many times to collect the [Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor's Eggs], so there was nothing unusual with it upgrading to Level 2.
Gathering Skill: Basic Class Skills for Players. Can be used to gather plants, items from dead monsters, crystals, and so on. Currently has a 100% chance of successfully collecting Bronze items, a 100% chance of successfully collecting Silver items, a 30% chance of successfully collecting Gold items, a 3% chance of successfully collecting Demon items, a 0.1% chance of successfully collecting Celestial items, a 0.01% chance of collecting Divine Emperor items, and a 0% chance of collecting Super Divine items. No cooldown, no mana consumption. Current Level: 2
Level 1 Gathering had a 1% chance of collecting Demon items. Now, it had improved quite a bit.
"Ding… Gathering failed…"
"Ding… You have successfully collected [Scorching Sun Flower]."
Chu Bai picked up the Scorching Sun Flower and looked at it before putting it into his spatial ring.
This mission was considered completed.
Lil Xue'er was still waiting for Chu Bai.
Seeing that Chu Bai had finished collecting, she called out and ran inside.
"Wait for me."
Chu Bai hurriedly chased after her.
After Chu Bai chased after her, he saw Lil Xue'er stopping in front of a wall.
"Woo—"
Lil Xue'er called out to Chu Bai.
"What happened?" Chu Bai asked doubtfully.
However, at this moment, the Broken Glass in his interspatial ring flew out on its own.
"What?"
Seeing this scene, Chu Bai was shocked.
He had never seen such a phenomenon before!
The shattered glass shone with seven-colored light and pierced through the wall. At the same time, the entire wall became like water.
"Woo—"
Lil Xue'er looked at Chu Bai and called out, then jumped in.
"Lil Xue'er."
Chu Bai shouted and found that Lil Xue'er had passed through the wall and disappeared from his sight.
Chu Bai did not hesitate and instantly stepped in.
The moment he stepped in, he felt that he had lost his footing.
He was falling!
Chapter 25
Chu Bai opened his eyes. Below him, Lil Xue'er was continuously descending.
Chu Bai was also constantly descending. This sense of weightlessness was especially terrifying.
Chu Bai tried his best to stabilize himself in the air and sized up his surroundings.
This was a bottomless pit!
The surroundings were pitch-black, and the ground below was also pitch-black, as if there was no end to it.
The speed of his descent increased…
'It's over! Am I going to fall to my death?' Chu Bai thought in panic.
"No! I don't think so!"
He thought of Lil Xue'er's anxious expression when she brought him over here. Chu Bai was willing to believe that there was no danger.
However, to be safe, Chu Bai still forcefully put Lil Xue'er into his pet space.
If there was a problem, at least Chu Bai could be resurrected. However, if Lil Xue'er died, she would really die. As for the resurrection technique… it was better not to use it in such a situation.
Seconds ticked by.
Chu Bai felt that he had fallen for about ten minutes!
Ten minutes of free fall. God knows how high it was.
At this moment, Chu Bai saw the light below. He also saw the ground.
"Hey, are you really not going to slow me down?" Chu Bai suddenly shouted at the air.
Suddenly, Chu Bai saw the Broken Glass emitting light below. Then, the light enveloped Chu Bai. His falling speed instantly slowed down, becoming slower and slower, and then… he stabilized on the ground.
Chu Bai reached out to catch the Broken Glass.
"What's going on? Why did the broken glass break free by itself and even release a power that was not mentioned in the introduction?"
Chu Bai frowned.
"Could it be Longxue?"
This was an item that Ling Longxue had given him.
Chu Bai held the broken glass and looked around.
It was not a big space. There was nothing outstanding about it. There was only a closed door.
Chu Bai walked over to the door and let Lil Xue'er out.
"Lil Xue'er, do you know this place?" Chu Bai asked.
"Woo—"
Lil Xue'er shook her head.
"Then why did you bring me here?"
Lil Xue'er called out again.
Chu Bai had a master-servant relationship with her. Even if he did not understand her language, Chu Bai could roughly understand what she meant.
Lil Xue'er probably meant that there was a familiar aura here, but she did not know what it was. She could not remember anything.
"An aura familiar to Lil Xue'er…" Chu Bai muttered. 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
He had seen Lil Xue'er's terrifying ability. The thing that Lil Xue'er was familiar with must not be ordinary.
Chu Bai walked to the huge stone door that was dozens of meters tall. On it was engraved patterns that Chu Bai could not see clearly.
"How do I open it?"
Everything in the game had a system restriction!
For example, if you want to enter a house, you could not enter unless it was on a free map!
Another example was that even if one's attributes were very high, it was impossible to chop down a tree or tear down a house. Simply put, if one did not have a Destruction attribute, a specific house, tree, or stone would be almost invincible.
For example, this door. From Chu Bai's perspective, this door had 8 billion health points. It was clearly impossible for Chu Bai to break this door.
At this moment, the Broken Glass shot out a white light and entered the stone door.
Crack! Crack!
The huge stone door slowly opened.
"F*ck!"
Chu Bai simply could not understand what this place had to do with the Broken Glass.
How could an ultimate resurrection tool be used as a key to a place?
Unless…
Impossible!
Longxue was a player from Blue Planet. How could she possibly use some new power to interfere with the Broken Glass?
How did she know about the Destiny Continent two years ago?
Chu Bai knew that there must be a huge secret somewhere!
Chu Bai brought Lil Xue'er in.
Beyond it was nothing but a huge plain space!
Only an altar-like platform in the center was high above the ground. There were thousands of steps leading up.
Chu Bai looked up. He could not see anything, but he could vaguely see a black and red light above him.
"Woo..."
Lil Xue'er called out to Chu Bai.
"Are you familiar with the smell?" Chu Bai asked.
Lil Xue'er nodded with her cute little head.
"Alright, I'll go take a look."
Chu Bai walked up step by step.
A few minutes later, Chu Bai finally walked to the topmost altar.
"Hmm?"
What he saw was a sword emitting a black-red light. This sword was inserted into a crack in the stone of the platform.
"What a neat sword."
Chu Bai sighed.
This was a weapon similar to a heavy sword, but it was definitely not a heavy sword in the truest sense. It was not as wide or big. It was somewhere between a light sword and a heavy sword.
Including the hilt, it was about 1.5 meters long and 20 centimeters wide. Its entire body was black-red, giving off a demonic feeling, especially when it emitted a black-red or red-brown light.
The hilt was black, and there were incomprehensible patterns on it!
There were seven complicated patterns circling the sword.
In addition, there were three holes in the sword.
The seven lines and three holes were all dark.
Chu Bai used the Scanning Technique.
[God Slaying Calamity]: Grade: ?, Usage Requirement: ?, Introduction: ?, Current Status: Ownerless.
Chu Bai, "…"
The name of this sword…
Calamity itself was a word that no one liked. It represented disaster.
Whether it was the sword's aura, name, or color, they all made Chu Bai feel uncomfortable.
Chu Bai took a step forward and approached the God Slaying Calamity.
Chu Bai naturally would not pass up on such an ownerless and seemingly powerful weapon.
He tentatively reached out and held the God Slaying Calamity.
At that instant, a black and red light erupted, enveloping Chu Bai's entire body.
Chu Bai's eyes instantly turned bloodshot and his body trembled.
He subconsciously wanted to let go, but there seemed to be a force controlling him to pull the sword out.
Lil Xue'er stood at the side and looked at Chu Bai, crying out.
However, Chu Bai did not seem to hear her at all.
One hand was moving out, while his other hand gradually approached the hilt. Chu Bai subconsciously wanted to stop himself from pulling out the sword, but… in the end, he still held it with both hands!
"Ahhh—"
Along with Chu Bai's involuntary shout, the God Slaying Calamity was completely pulled out.
"Ding… You have obtained the weapon [God Slaying Calamity]."
"Ding… Player Bai Ye, please take note. Your current state is very dangerous. Please log off as soon as possible."
"Ding… Player Bai Ye, please take note…"
"…"
Lil Xue'er circled around Chu Bai, looking quite worried.
Whoosh—
A ray of light was released from her body and enveloped Chu Bai.
At this moment, Chu Bai's bloodshot eyes gradually returned to normal.
He looked at the sword in his hand.
Whoosh—
Lil Xue'er jumped onto Chu Bai's shoulder and stuck out her tongue to gently lick his neck.
"I'm fine now."
Chu Bai gently patted Lil Xue'er and said gently.
Then, he looked at the attributes of the God Slaying Calamity in his hand.

Chu Bai, "?"
Chu Bai was stunned.
What?
Was this the attribute of a Demon Weapon?
'You're kidding, right?'
It ignored defense and has a hit rate of 100%. These two attributes were not something that could be encountered every day!
After so many years of gaming experience, Chu Bai had never met anyone with such attributes.
Divine Slaughter: 10% chance to deal double damage, 1% chance to deal ten times the damage, 0.1% chance to deal 100 times the damage, and even up to a million times the damage!
This was a passive skill!
Then, there were eleven active skills!
What?
Ridiculous!
"Therefore, this is not a Demon Weapon at all. It was only demoted to a Demon Weapon because it lacked these power cores," Chu Bai muttered to himself.
Even though Chu Bai did not know the effects of many of his skills, he was certain that this was the strongest weapon.
Moreover, it also had a total of 30 points of fixed attributes.
With a thought, Chu Bai planned to put the weapon into his spatial ring. However, the God Slaying Calamity directly transformed into a black-red light and drilled itself into Chu Bai's wrist. A black-red sword pattern appeared on Chu Bai's wrist.
"Phew—"
Chu Bai took a deep breath.
He never thought that he would get such a sword.
"Lil Xue'er, do you know where the source of the power of God Slaying Calamity is?" Chu Bai asked Lil Xue'er.
After all, she was the one who brought Chu Bai here. Lil Xue'er might have some kind of relationship with this God Slaying Calamity.
It was even possible that his girlfriend was related to this weapon.
Lil Xue'er shook her little head.
"Forget it, just the passive skill of this weapon is worth it."
Even if he was given a Gold grade weapon, he would not use it. Although its attack power was high, if he could not enjoy the passive effects, it would not be as good as God Slaying Calamity.
He could not equip equipment of a higher grade anyway.
After equipping God Slaying Calamity, Chu Bai's attributes increased exponentially, especially his attack power.

Chu Bai then looked around.
"How do we get out?"
"Woo—"
Lil Xue'er called out to Chu Bai before running to the other side.
Chu Bai ran over and a teleportation array appeared.
Then, Chu Bai and Lil Xue'er stepped in together.
Whoosh—
With a flash of light, Chu Bai appeared in the cave.
"Let's go back."
Then, Chu Bai put away Lil Xue'er and rushed to the beginner village.
Not long after, Chu Bai arrived at the pharmacy.
"I'm looking for the boss," Chu Bai said to Wu Shi.
"The boss is inside."
"Thanks a lot."
Chu Bai walked over.
Huang Xin crossed her legs, revealing her fair thighs as she sat there reading.
Seeing Chu Bai enter, she put down her book.
"Any progress on the Scorching Sun Flower?" Huang Xin asked.
Chu Bai took out the Flower.
"You actually found it."
She was secretly surprised and took the Scorching Sun Flower.
"These are three Leaf of Life and three Flowers of Strength."
Chu Bai took it.
"Ding… Congratulations on completing the mission [Searching for the Scorching Sun Flower]."
"Thanks a lot," Chu Bai said.
"Yes, it's fine now," Huang Xin said.
Chu Bai prepared to leave, but he was still brooding over the Water of Life inside.
"Boss, is there any way I can get the Water of Life?"
"Money," Huang Xin said calmly.
"Apart from the money? I mean, like if Boss Huang Xin needs help in any way. If I can do it, can I get the water of life?" Chu Bai asked.
Huang Xin looked up at Chu Bai again.
"Actually, yes. If you can take me away from this place, I'll give you the Water of Life."
"Ding… congratulations on triggering the sole hidden quest in the Starter Village [Leave Starter Village 7777]. Mission Reward: Water of Life. Mission Duration: Unlimited. Do you accept?"
Was that even possible?
Chu Bai knew that the starter village was protected by a special power. Although Chu Bai did not know how Huang Xin, the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor, and even Lil Xue'er came to the novice village, according to what Chu Bai knew, there was no power that could make them leave the novice village.
Only players could enter the real Destiny Continent after reaching Level 10. NPCs like them definitely could not.
"Forget it, that's impossible. I've already used the Water of Life, so it has no use for me. If you want it, I can give you a chance."
"Please go on."
Huang Xin continued, "There's a treasure on this continent called the Strength Gem. Although I know that it might not exist in the beginner village, if you can encounter it, I can use the Water of Life to exchange for the Strength Gem."
She did not have high expectations when she said this.
After all, she had only seen such a thing once in the Destiny Continent.
"Strength Gem? Is that what Boss is talking about?"
Chu Bai took out the red Strength Gem.
Rumble—
Huang Xin's beautiful eyes widened and she instantly sat up from her chair. Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at the Strength Gem in Chu Bai's hand.
Chapter 27
Huang Xin stared blankly at the Strength Gem in Chu Bai's hand.
She had never expected such a weak person to have a treasure like a Strength Gem in such a place.
The Strength Gem was a very rare and powerful treasure!
No matter how strong you were, as long as you had a Strength Gem, you could double your strength!
She needed the Strength Gem because she wanted to test if she could open a path back to the Destiny Continent with all her methods.
After calming down, Huang Xin looked at Chu Bai with her beautiful eyes.
"I can exchange the Water of Life for the Strength Gem."
To Chu Bai, the Strength Gem was indeed very powerful, but… the Strength Gem was a consumable!
Now, look at this gemstone. It was still the size of a ping pong ball. However, it will become smaller and smaller with every use. It will probably be used up soon!
Every time he used an attack, the Strength Gem would consume a wisp of its energy.
It was definitely not a problem to exchange a consumable that could not last two months for a permanent Water of Life.
"Okay."
Chu Bai nodded.
Huang Xin took the Strength Gem.
"Go inside and get the Water of Life."
Then, Chu Bai walked in.
With the Water of Life in hand, Chu Bai did not even hesitate to directly consume it.
"Ding… You have used the Water of Life. You are permanently immune to all negative effects."
Awesome!
Chu Bai walked out.
"Thank you, Boss," said Chu Bai.
"You're welcome. I've also gotten what I wanted. However, this deal is indeed good value for you. There aren't many people in the entire Destiny Continent who have a divine item like the Water of Life. Its effects are extremely powerful. In the future, when you enter the Destiny Continent, it will help you a lot."
Chu Bai nodded.
"Alright, go ahead."
"I'll take my leave."
"Yeah."
After that, Chu Bai walked out.
Huang Xin looked in the direction Chu Bai left.
"That kid is not a simple one."
She muttered meaningfully.
…
Walking out, Chu Bai saw Jiangyue Qianying waiting outside.
"Bai Ye."
Jiangyue Qianying walked over.
"Hmm, these two pieces of equipment…" Chu Bai then took out the Gold Flame Staff and the Bronze Flame Dagger.
Jiangyue Qianying accepted it and immediately traded 1,240,000 gold coins to Chu Bai.
"Thanks a lot," she said to Chu Bai.
"It's mutually beneficial," Chu Bai said.
"If there's any good equipment in the future, I hope the Great Chu Bai can still trade it to me," Jiangyue Qianying said.
Chu Bai nodded. "Yes, it's negotiable if the price is right."
"No problem. I'll go level up first."
Then, she left.
"Is she opening a studio?" Chu Bai looked at her back and muttered to himself.
There were basically three ways to collect equipment. The first was to collect equipment by yourself. The second was to have a guild. The money would be paid by the guild. They would search everywhere for good equipment to increase the guild's strength.
The other type was the studio.
In real life, if you created a studio and had employees, you would not have a lot of employees. Instead, equipment would be purchased to increase the overall strength of the members. This way, whether it was completing quests or obtaining the First Clear of Bosses, you could earn back the money by having their powerful attributes.
Generally speaking, the members of a studio were not ordinary players.
Chu Bai planned to continue farming, but then a system notification came.
"Ding… You have been online for nearly eight hours. Please rest."
Everyone could only be online for eight hours a day. After eight hours, they would be forced to go offline.
As for Chu Bai, he only had less than half an hour before eight hours. He would not be able to level up much with this little time.
"Let's go offline and rest."
Then, Chu Bai looked at the equipment in the game.
He could choose to bring everything into reality, but he had nothing to bring with him. Then, he chose to go offline.
With a flash of light, Chu Bai disappeared from the beginner village.
At home, a white light flashed and Chu Bai appeared.
"Phew—"
He took a deep breath and stretched his muscles.
His strength had increased significantly compared to when he had just entered the game. This was because in the game, whether it was the increase in level or attributes, it would affect reality.
However, after the game ended, everything returned to normal.
Chu Bai raised his hand and saw the symbol of God Slaying Calamity on his wrist. With a thought, God Slaying Calamity appeared in his hand.
"It's amazing."
This was the first time Chu Bai had encountered something like this!
In the past, he could bring things from the game to reality, but in reality, he could not summon what he wanted with just a thought. He did not expect this sword to be able to do so.
"Let's go eat."
…
On the other side.
"Ah—I'm so tired."
A girl stretched and walked out of the room.
"Sister Qian, you went offline too?"
She looked at a mature-looking beauty who had just walked out of the room.
Then, the girl silently lowered her head and looked at her chest. She silently straightened her chest and stretched out her hand to size it up.
"Yes, we can only log in for eight hours a day. We're the first to log in, so we basically log out at the same time. Did Qingyu log out too?" Jiang Qianyue asked.
Crack!
The door of the other room with three bedrooms and one living room opened, and a girl with an extremely thin waist, wearing black shorts and a tube top, walked out.
Lu Yufan's beautiful eyes stared at Yu Qingyu's chest. Then, she silently straightened her back and said, "Whoa! Sister Qingyu, what are you doing? You're dressed so skimpily at home."
Yu Qingyu's sharp eyes looked over.
"If you don't dress properly at home, would you go out dressed like this?"
"Hmm… that's true."
Lu Yufan nodded like a little bird pecking at rice.
"Fanfan, why are you still wearing such thick pajamas at home? You can just wear a tank top. There's floor heating," Jiang Qianyue said to Lu Yufan.
"Ah… I-I-I-I-I'll dress more comfortably. Ahahaha," Lu Yufan said with an awkward smile.
Yu Qingyu leaned over and asked Lu Yufan, "What's wrong? Is your back uncomfortable?"
"Ah? No, no, no."
Lu Yufan stopped moving forward.
Jiang Qianyue said, "Come over and have a meeting."
"Okay."
The two of them sat down at the table. Jiang Qianyue poured them a cup of tea and sat down.
"Qingyu, Fanfan, what level are you at?" Jiang Qianyue asked.
Yu Qingyu said indifferently, "Level six."
Her indifferent tone was definitely not because she was cold to them, but because her personality was like this. She did not like to talk and did not show much emotion.
"Level 6, not bad! How about Fanfan?"
Lu Yufan lowered her head and mumbled, "I'm only Level 5."
Jiang Qianyue nodded. "I'm also at Level 6, so Level 5 is fine. Water-type mages don't deal much damage anyway, so I can tell that you're working very hard."
"Hehe, thank you, Sister Qian." Lu Yufan smiled happily.
Then, Jiang Qianyue looked at Yu Qingyu and asked, "How much are you short of?"
"50% experience. I'll definitely level up to Level 8 or 9 tomorrow. It's too difficult to level up Destiny. It'll take two to three days to get to Level 10."
Jiang Qianyue nodded, then looked at Lu Yufan and said, "Yes, Fanfan, I bought you a piece of Gold equipment. You can use it when we get out of the beginner village. Although it's more suitable for Fire Mages, there are only the three of us in our studio at the moment."
"Wow!"
Lu Yufan exclaimed, her big eyes twinkling like stars.
"Sister Qian, Gold equipment? Where did you get it?"
Yu Qingyu also looked at Jiang Qianyue curiously.
"I'm in the same beginner village as Bai Ye. I bought it from him. It's not very expensive. I also bought a bronze dagger for Qingyu."
Yu Qingyu said, "Thank you, Sister Qian."
"Sister Qian, you're so beautiful. I love you to death."
Lu Yufan leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
Jiang Qianyue smiled helplessly.
"Hehehe, Sister Qian, is Bai Ye handsome?" Lu Yufan asked expectantly.
"I don't know. He's wearing a mask, but he's definitely an expert." Then she asked, "What talent did you awaken?"
Lu Yufan said, "I'm an SS-level talent [Air Skill]. There's only a 30% chance of cooling down after releasing the skill, hehehe."
"This is amazing."
Yu Qingyu and Jiang Qianyue were both impressed.
"Hehehe." Lu Yufan stuck out her pink tongue.
Then, Yu Qingyu said, "I also got an SS-level talent, [Heavy Injury]. All attacks deal an additional 10% damage, and there's a 10% chance that the damage will double. At the same time, there's a 10% chance that there's a heavy injury effect. Healing is diabled for 10 seconds."
"Excellent. To an assassin, your talent is like adding wings to a tiger." Jiang Qianyue nodded approvingly.
"And Sister Qian?" Lu Yufan asked expectantly.
"I have an SS grade talent [Armor Penetration]. Attack has a 10% chance of reducing the opponent's defense to 0 for 15 seconds."
"Wow! Impressive!" Lu Yufan exclaimed.
Dong dong dong—
At this moment, there was a knock on their door.
Jiang Qianyue walked over.
Crack!
She opened the door.
'Huh?'
Chu Bai, who was at the door, was stunned when he saw this familiar face.
F*ck!
Was the world so small? Was this not Jiangyue Qianying?
Chapter 28
Jiang Qianyue also glanced at Chu Bai.
He was a decent-looking boy.
"Can I help you?"
Jiang Qianyue asked in confusion.
"Oh, I'm your neighbor. I just went out to eat and saw your house key in the door, so I knocked to remind you," Chu Bai said.
Jiang Qianyue took a look and saw that the key was indeed in the door.
"Ah… I'm sorry, I forgot to pull it out," Lu Yufan walked over and apologized repeatedly.
Jiang Qianyue said, "It's fine. Just be careful in the future."
Then, Jiang Qianyue looked at Chu Bai and said, "Thank you. My name is Jiang Qianyue, and she is Lu Yufan. We just moved here yesterday. Please take care of us in the future."
Chu Bai nodded. "Then I'll take my leave first."
"Take care."
Chu Bai nodded and left.
"Wow! There's a handsome neighbor we have," Lu Yufan said with a smile after closing the door.
"What's wrong? Have you fallen for him?" Jiang Qianyue asked with a smile.
"No, I just feel that it's quite amazing. I see this kind of plot on television and in novels every day. I didn't expect to really encounter it in reality," Lu Yufan said.
Jiang Qianyue said, "We'll build a good relationship with him in the future. It's a good thing to have more friends. He just went out to eat, so he must have just logged off. Let's go eat. We won't be cooking today. It's quite tiring."
"Good!"
…
At the small restaurant downstairs.
Chu Bai sat down and ordered rice.
This small restaurant had a total of eight tables. There were noodles, rice, and stir-fried vegetables. The taste was not bad, and it was nearby. Chu Bai was too lazy to cook, so he came here to eat.
It was not mealtime yet, so Chu Bai was the only customer.
"Sister Qian, I'm just putting this out there. How can I make my breasts bigger? Ah, I don't really care about this. I'm not a kid. I'm just asking casually."
The three girls chatted as they pushed open the door and walked in.
Chu Bai turned his head, and they also saw Chu Bai.
Chu Bai, "…"
F*ck!
Could these three all be his neighbors?
The girl who walked in was a pure older sister with a stunning appearance and an explosive figure. Be it her voice or appearance, she was an older sister type! Moreover, there was nothing to fault about her! If she wore something like black silk, it would definitely be amazing!
The other woman looked a little cold and arrogant. She was in her early twenties and was also unbelievably beautiful. Her eyes revealed a coldness and even a little spitefulness. Yes, to put it simply, she had a so-called high-level world-weary face.
There was also a pure young girl who looked very innocent. She would definitely be the school belle in her university.
The three of them were tall and had great figures.
"Ah, handsome neighbor, you're eating here too?"
Lu Yufan's eyes lit up when she saw Chu Bai.
"You guys are here too." Chu Bai casually greeted them.
"Perfect. Boss, get us a few dishes," Jiang Qianyue shouted. Then, they all sat at Chu Bai's table.
"Since we've met and Mr. Chu has helped us, it's not too much to treat Mr. Chu to a meal, right?"
Jiang Qianyue looked at Chu Bai.
"Then I'll accept the offer."
They ordered four dishes and a soup. They even specially ordered a pig trotter for Chu Bai.
"Mr. Chu is also playing Destiny, right?" Jiang Qianyue asked.
"Well, there are only a few people who don't play," Chu Bai said.
"Actually, it's not a small number. Those who don't play mostly can't because their age doesn't allow them to. Or they're worried about death, or their families don't agree. All young people usually want to go to a strange new world to take risks."
Chu Bai nodded.
"What's Mr. Chu's ID? What level are you at now? I've opened a studio. Currently, there are only the three of us. If Mr. Chu is willing, we can help each other."
Chu Bai said, "My abilities are average, so I would hold you back."
"Mr. Chu is too humble."
At that moment, Lu Yufan said excitedly, "Look, look at his, Bai Ye's ultimate. Wow, it's so cool!"
She pushed the phone over and the few of them leaned over to take a look.
It was the scene of Chu Bai releasing Sky Dance.
"How terrifying! He's only been in the game for a few hours, and he already has such a powerful move?" Yu Qingyu said in surprise.
"I heard that it was obtained by triggering the hidden mission of the village chief. There must be something special with so many players, right?" Lu Yufan pondered before looking at Jiang Qianyue and asking.
"Sister Qian, how's your relationship with Bai Ye?"
Jiang Qianyue replied, "I've only met him twice."
"Are you friends?" Jiang Qianyue nodded.
"Wow!" Lu Yufan said excitedly. "If we can pull Bai Ye to our studio, won't we be able to take off?"
Jiang Qianyue smiled. "What are you thinking about? He's already willing to sell Gold-grade equipment. Do you think he'd be interested in a small studio like ours?" 𝓫ℯ𝓭𝓃𝓸𝓋ℯ𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Yu Qingyu asked, "Sister Qian, how's his actual combat level? Have you seen it before?"
Jiang Qianyue shook her head. "I've never seen him fight."
Chu Bai did not say a word.
"The trending topic is all about Bai Ye. Oh my god, Bai Ye killed Tian Xing?!"
"What?"
They looked shocked and then looked over.
Hot search ranking—
# 1: Bai Ye
# 2: Best of luck, God Bai.
# 3: Who is Bai Ye? How did he get the first kill on the Divine Emperor Beast?
# 4: Bai Ye Gold Boss First Kill, Battle with Flaming Lion, attached video.
# 5: Shocking! Tian Xing was killed by Bai Ye! Attached video.
# 6: Pet Calamity Fox
Then, Lu Yufan clicked on the fifth most searched video.
The video showed the scene of Chu Bai killing Tian Xing in the Flame Valley.
There were many comments below.
Dash, "F*ck! This Bai Ye is so ruthless! Tian Xing was actually killed by him! He's too ruthless."
Ning Chong, "I was there. I'm also from Starter Village #77777. A few hours ago, Old Dream Tian Yu and Tian Xing were killed by Bai Ye and then were revived. Then, Old Dream Tian Yu and Tian Xing took powerful tools to find Bai Ye. Unexpectedly, the scroll that forced a 10-second stun was cancelled by Bai Ye's pet. Then, he killed Tian Xing. Originally, Old Dream Tian Yu faced imminent death, but he had a spatial scroll that saved him."
"Didn't Bai Ye offend the Feng Ling Dynasty? God Bai has left us forever, and now Bai Ye has appeared. Do you think Bai Ye will become the second God Bai? Bai Ye's fame has skyrocketed. He seems to be gaining momentum."
"…"
Chu Bai looked at the video and sighed in his heart.
Fortunately, he had the habit of wearing a mask. Otherwise, he would have become the target of everyone.
The entire Blue Planet knew about him.
In the real world, he had no ability at all. He could not escape from those who wanted to kill him.
The three girls were no longer surprised that someone had died. However, they felt a little emotional when they saw that it was Tian Xing who had died.
"This pet looks amazing. Look at the video."
Then, they clicked on the fourth trending topic, which was the video of Chu Bai fighting with the Flaming Lion.
"Wow! So cute!"
Chapter 29
Lil Xue'er's cuteness was unimaginable!
Such a cute thing could never be seen in reality.
As a girl, she had no resistance against cute things like Lil Xue'er.
"I want it so bad," Lu Yufan said enviously.
In the video, Chu Bai was fighting the Flaming Lion.
"His combat skills are also very strong. He's either a veteran player or a martial artist in reality," Yu Qingyu said.
"Mm, and it seems that his talent is similar to unlimited skills. His lightning skill doesn't seem to have any mana consumption or cooldown. It's just that he can't use it unlimitedly when facing this Flaming Lion," Jiang Qianyue muttered.
Jiang Qianyue then looked at Chu Bai and asked, "Mr. Chu, what do you think?"
"Ah? Cough cough, he's pretty powerful." Chu Bai nodded.
Yu Qingyu also glanced at Chu Bai.
"Mr. Chu only said that Bai Ye is pretty powerful, not crazy powerful. At least in our eyes, Bai Ye is crazy powerful. So, is Mr. Chu a master himself?"
Girls were meticulous and especially sensitive with words.
"Uh—" 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Chu Bai touched the tip of his nose.
"It's just that he's very powerful." Chu Bai felt that it was not enough after saying this. Then, he said, "The main reason is that I categorized him into the same category as many especially top-notch players. I was comparing to them, that's why I said he's pretty powerful."
"However, the fact that he subconsciously grouped Bai Ye with those top-notch masters means that Bai Ye is indeed very powerful."
Chu Bai nodded. "Yes."
It was mainly because he was not that thick-skinned to praise himself.
"Don't call me Mr. Chu anymore. Just call me Chu Bai."
"Okay."
They nodded.
"Chu Bai, what's your class? What level are you? What's your ID?" Lu Yufan asked.
"Swordsman, Level 5. As for the ID… it's a little stupid. Let's not talk about it for now."
"Eh, your ID can't be some 'Handsome Guy' or something, right? Pfft, hahaha—"
Lu Yufan could not help but laugh out loud.
Chu Bai smiled and did not say anything.
"Sigh, Bai Ye should be a fan of God Bai Feng. I feel bad thinking about God Bai. How could such a strong player die at the end of the game? Sigh, what a pity."
Jiang Qianyue sighed.
"Yeah, if it weren't for God Bai, I don't think we would have been able to defeat the final boss. It's all thanks to him," Lu Yufan said sadly.
"I was lucky enough to see God Bai once before. I thought we would meet again in the future. I didn't expect that encounter to be his last," Yu Qingyu said sadly.
"Oh? You've seen God Bai?" Chu Bai raised his eyebrows and asked.
Yu Qingyu nodded, "Yes, there was a group quest in the early stages of The World that requires eight people to participate. That quest was accepted by God Bai and I happened to be not far away so I joined his party. He was really strong. It can be said that he was the only one who allowed the seven of us to play. I feel like he could have cleared it alone. But he found seven people just to gather enough people to enter the quest map."
Chu Bai was secretly shocked.
This world was really small.
"Speaking of God Bai, I know him too," Lu Yufan said.
"Ah? Fanfan, how did you meet?"
Lu Yufan said, "At that time, I encountered a Boss and almost died. God Bai happened to pass by and killed the Boss. He returned the equipment that he dropped to me."
Chu Bai, "…"
He remembered this too. It was in the game Gods and Demons.
"After that, I wanted to thank God Bai, but the difference between us was too great. I couldn't contact him even if I wanted to. From then on, I wanted to become very strong and be closer to my idol, but…"
At the thought of this, Lu Yufan lowered her head and her eyes reddened.
Chu Bai sighed. Fate was truly wonderful.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this heavy topic. Let's eat."
Jiang Qianyue ended the conversation.
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked in. After he entered, he looked around.
"Here," Jiang Qianyue called out.
"Hello, are you Mr. Jiang? I applied for your studio online previously. My ID is [What's done is done]. My real name is Zhang Shan. Nice to meet you."
Apart from the three-bedroom apartment, Jiang Qianyue also rented an additional three-bedroom apartment for her new employees.
Today, a new employee was coming to apply for a job. He had already arrived, but they had already come here to eat, so they made an appointment.
"Hello, we happen to be eating. Please sit down. Boss, please add another pair of bowls and chopsticks," Jiang Qianyue shouted.
Zhang Shan sat down.
Three peerless beauties. He had to keep this job even if he was not paid!
"You're a middle-aged man. Uncle, are you strong enough?" Lu Yufan asked.
Zhang Shan lit a cigarette and said, "I used to be ranked 30,000th in The World."
How many among the billions of people were ranked as high 30,000th? It was actually very impressive.
Then, he looked at Chu Bai and said, "Is this person also a member of the studio?"
Chu Bai shook his head. "I'm just a neighbor."
"I see."
Jiang Qianyue said, "Right now, there are only the three of us girls in the studio. I'm a Swordsman, and Qingyu is an assassin. We need a mage and a Heavenly Shield. Let's eat first and talk about it during work."
Zhang Shan nodded. "Alright, waiter, give me a bottle of mineral water."
"Would you like some alcohol?" Jiang Qianyue said.
Zhang Shan waved his hand and said, "No, no. The alcohol goes to my face."
"Eh? Don't they say that only those who love drinking have alcohol affect their face?" Lu Yufan asked curiously.
Zhang Shan lit a cigarette and said, "Little girl, you don't understand, do you? The lack of enzymes in the human body causes the face to be affected by alcohol. It's not good to detoxify the poison without enough enzymes, and if the detoxification is not done well, the body will easily develop pathological changes."
Then, he looked at the piece of chicken Chu Bai picked up and pointed at it with his chopsticks. "Brother, the meat in your hand is genetically modified."
Chu Bai's hand paused.
Then, Zhang Shan pointed at the dishes on the table and said, "There's also this. This is also a genetically modified food. Same for that. You can't eat genetically processed food."
"Why can't I eat it?" Lu Yufan asked curiously.
Zhang Shan put down his chopsticks and looked at Lu Yufan with a knowing expression. "Genetically modified food is not good for the body. If you take it for a long time, your genes will mutate."
"Huh?" She was stunned.
"Really?" Chu Bai asked doubtfully.
He really did not know much about this.
"Really!"
Zhang Shan nodded repeatedly and looked back and forth at them. He said excitedly, "I'm a living example. Let me tell you, I did a paternity test with my son last week. Guess what? Our DNA doesn't match! It doesn't match!"
"Oh my god, is this for real?" Lu Yufan asked in surprise.
"Do you think I'm lying?"
"Cough cough—"
Jiang Qianyue coughed dryly and asked, "Who told you about this?"
"My wife. If my wife hadn't told me this, I wouldn't have known that genetically modified food could be so harmful. Please don't eat it."
Chu Bai, Yu Qingyu, Lu Yufan, and Jiang Qianyue exchanged glances.
"Oh~"
They nodded in realization.
They could not help but smile awkwardly at each other.
"Then eat more vegetables."
Chu Bai picked up some vegetables for him.
"And some broccoli."
Jiang Qianyue also picked up some food for him.
Zhang Shan held the bowl and ate the vegetables and broccoli as he said, "Green is good, green is good, and green food is the best."
Then, he pointed in front of Chu Bai. "Brother, give me some green peppers."
Chu Bai nodded. "Yes, yes! Eat some green peppers and cucumbers. This green is the greenest."
…
Chapter 30
After dinner, the four of them walked home together.
"Pfft—hahahaha, that uncle is so miserable! Chu Bai, you're so mean. You even deliberately said that this is the greenest, hahaha—"
Lu Yufan rocked back and forth in laughter.
Chu Bai shrugged and said, "That's all I can do. The rest will depend on that big brother's own comprehension ability."
"Hahaha!"
Then, Yu Qingyu asked, "Sister Qian, why didn't you tell him clearly?"
Jiang Qianyue replied, "There are some things that we don't need to clarify. We're outsiders." 𝗯𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝐦
"Then why not let him join our studio? I feel that he was quite pitiful."
Jiang Qianyue said, "His overall qualifications are not bad. But I feel that he's too self-centered after interacting with him. He's more suitable to be a leader, and my team doesn't need such a person. Perhaps there are other teams that could use him."
They were back at their front door.
"Chu Bai, when we leave the starter village, shall we go somewhere together? We can form teams to do missions," Lu Yufan said to Chu Bai.
"Yes, sure. Which empire are you going to?"
"The Divine Wind Empire," Jiang Qianyue replied.
Chu Bai nodded. "Yes, it doesn't matter which of the five empires I go to. If there's no problem, I can also go to the Divine Wind Empire."
"That's great! I'll fly you there!" Lu Yufan giggled.
Chu Bai nodded. "Okay."
"It's getting late. Go back and rest. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Then, they returned home.
…
Capital.
Feng Ling sat on the sofa in the villa, swirling his glass of red wine.
There was a person kneeling in front of him.
Upon closer inspection, he was the Old Dream Tian Yu.
"Young Master Yang, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect Bai Ye's pet to be able to remove the control effect. Otherwise, he would be dead now!"
Feng Ling's real name was Yang Feng, and his background was monstrous.
"Old Lei, get up. You can't be blamed for this."
Yang Feng said to the Old Dream Tian Yu.
The Old Dream Tian Yu's real name was Lei Yu.
Lei Yu stood up.
"Young Master Yang, don't worry. When we leave the starter village, he's nothing! I'll definitely kill him then!"
Yang Feng swirled his wine glass and said, "You said it yourself. What if you can't do it?"
"If I can't do it, I'll die as an apology!" Lei Yu said.
Yang Feng stood up and patted his shoulder. He said earnestly, "Old Lei, I won't force you."
"Of course! Don't worry, Young Master Yang! I'll definitely kill him!"
"Alright! Go and rest. Try to leave the starter village as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
Then, Lei Yu walked away.
As soon as he walked out, a woman slowly walked out from the inner room.
"Why didn't you kill him?" the woman asked indifferently.
"It's still useful to keep him. After all, he's my Hall Master." Yang Feng shook his wine glass and said indifferently.
Then, Yang Feng looked at her.
The woman was wearing a mask, but it could not hide her allure.
However, Yang Feng did not dare to do anything to her.
This woman was a poisonous rose!
"What you should do now, whether it's using an accident or otherwise, is to get rid of everyone who knows you killed Bai Feng. It will be bad if anyone finds out."
Yang Feng drank the red wine in one gulp, his eyes flashing with viciousness.
"Don't worry. They won't survive, but things have to be done slowly. Besides, it's the early stages of the game. They still have to rely on me. I can control them. At the very least, I have to squeeze out all their value, right? What do you think?"
The woman sat beside him and said, "You need me to help you surpass your brother, surpass everyone, and achieve success for generations. I hope you can do as I say."
"Of course, of course!"
Yang Tian smiled and nodded.
"I've watched some of Bai Ye's videos. He's a tricky guy. He has a grudge against your Feng Ling Dynasty. That will affect you in the future. If there's a chance, we have to get rid of him."
Yang Feng sneered, "He's a person who had good luck and got some benefits in the early stages. I've seen many people like him. I don't even feel like I need to do it myself. Later on, he will pay with his life because of his arrogance in the early stages. Of course, it's naturally best if Lei Yu can deal with him. It doesn't matter if he can't, though. Oh right, Bai Feng's ID has been snatched by someone else. Did you know about this?"
The woman shook her head. "What's the point? He's already dead. There's no point in stealing his ID. There's no need to worry."
"Well …"
…
Chu Bai slept until noon.
He was awakened by a knock on the door.
"We're here."
Chu Bai opened the door with sleepy eyes.
"Sister Qian?"
Seeing Jiang Qianyue standing at the door, Chu Bai was stunned.
Jiang Qianyue, who was dressed in casual clothes, smiled and handed a fruit to Chu Bai.
"We got you some fruit."
"You're too kind." Chu Bai took it.
Jiang Qianyue said, "It's fine. We're all neighbors. We'll see each other often. Besides, I like to make friends. We'll have hotpot tonight. Since you're alone, do you want to come?"
From their conversation yesterday, they also found out that Chu Bai was living alone now. His family was gone, and he did not have a girlfriend. Perhaps it was because girls had maternal instincts, so they wanted to take care of Chu Bai.
Even though Chu Bai was an adult.
Chu Bai shook his head. "No, I just woke up. I'll probably be in the game at that time."
"Okay, remember to eat the fruits."
"Thank you, Sister Qian."
"Okay, I'll go back then."
Jiang Qianyue returned home.
"Sister Qian, is Chu Bai coming to eat with us?" Lu Yufan asked expectantly.
"No, he just woke up. He'll be in the game at that time. What's wrong? Have you fallen for Chu Bai?" Jiang Qianyue smiled at Lu Yufan.
"No, I'm not. I'm not that easy. I just like larger crowds," Lu Yufan quickly said.
"That's right. After playing so many games, I cherish my friends even more. After all, many of them are gone." Jiang Qianyue sighed.
Then, she looked at the two of them and said, "You two. No matter what, safety is the most important."
"Understood."
"Let's go. There are still a few hours of game time. Let's go online."
…
'Ding… Welcome to Destiny.'
As the system notification sounded, Chu Bai appeared in the starter village.
The place where he went online was the same as where he had gone offline previously.
"Ding… congratulations on obtaining the ultimate skill [Whirlwind]."
[Infinite Ultimate Technique] would randomly grant him an Ultimate Technique every day. This Ultimate Technique can still be used after leaving a battle.
[Whirlwind]: Unlimited skill randomly obtained. Effect: Condenses a powerful force and cannot attack during this period. Randomly choose five targets within a 20-meter radius and sweep them up into the air. Duration: 5 seconds. During these five seconds, a hurricane will form and blow forward. The furthest it can reach is 20 meters. All units that are blown by it will suffer damage of current Attack Power. Remaining time: 1 day.
This skill should be stronger than Heavenly Lightning Break.
"Let's go and accept a mission."
Currently, there was only one mission for Chu Bai. After reaching Level 10, he would undergo the trial. After the trial ended, he could leave the starter village.
However, the difficulty of leveling up now was ridiculously high.
Lil Xue'er took up part of his EXP. God Slaying Calamity's negative effect increased the EXP required to level up by 100%.
"Stop! Stop right there! Someone, there's a molester, hooligan! Someone help!"
Suddenly, a girl's scream came from the side.
Chu Bai looked over.
Chapter 31
In the Starter Village, more than ten female players were chasing a male player.
They screamed in exasperation as they ran after him.
"Molester?"
Chu Bai was stunned.
How was that possible?
There were protective mechanisms for girls in any game, be it for players or NPCs.
As long as a boy had any ill intentions toward a girl, the system would punish him with lightning.
At best, the offender would drop a piece of equipment and a level. At worst, he would be killed.
So, there was no such thing as indecent assault here.
"Sisters, sisters, stop chasing. I can't do anything about it either. Stop chasing!"
The ID of the player being chased was Playboy.
"From the top ten on the level rankings?"
Chu Bai raised his eyebrows.
Chu Bai had a deep impression of this ID.
After all, only one person in the top ten had an unknown ID, and his class was listed as none.
Despite his denial, he was still smelling the fragrance on his hands as he ran while laughing.
"No way? He really molested someone?"
Chu Bai was stunned.
Qingqiu Yanmo happened to pass by and saw this scene. She also saw Chu Bai and walked over.
"Bai Ye."
Chu Bai looked at her.
This woman was very seductive, but Chu Bai just would not get close to her!
There was no other reason. This was a dangerous woman!
She was too smart.
As such, Chu Bai did not want to get too close to her.
From what Chu Bai knew, she had built a dynasty with her own ability.
Such a woman was really scary.
This was the case despite her being the dream woman of countless people! She was one of the top ten beauties on the beauty rankings in "The World".
Speaking of which, there should be a beauty ranking in Destiny, right?
"Hi."
Chu Bai nodded at her.
"Great Bai Ye, why don't you sell me Gold-grade equipment? I'm sure you will be more than satisfied with my offer," Qingqiu Yanmo said with a smile.
"Alright, I'll sell you any extra equipment in the future," Chu Bai muttered to himself.
She was a woman with great ambitions. Otherwise, she would not have approached him.
As for the good items, Chu Bai was more inclined to sell them to Jiang Qianyue. However, it was true that with Jiang Qianyue's ability, she could not use so many pieces of equipment. Chu Bai believed that he would have a lot of spare equipment in the future!
Therefore, if this woman could offer a good price, Chu Bai would naturally be very willing to negotiate.
"It's a deal. Can I have the honor of adding the Great Bai Ye as a friend? This is the second time I've applied."
"Ding… Player [Qingqiu Yanmo] requests to add you as a friend. Do you accept?"
"Agreed."
This time, Chu Bai chose to agree.
Qingqiu Yanmo's lips curled up slightly.
Then, she leaned into Chu Bai's ear.
Chu Bai shuddered… but he remained calm and did not move.
Qingqiu Yanmo's red lips parted slightly. Chu Bai could even feel her hot breath.
"If World of Sword wants to deal with you, you have to be careful."
Chu Bai raised his eyebrows.
"World of Sword?"
"Uh-huh, take this advice as my sincerity. They have powerful tools at their disposal. You have to be careful."
Chu Bai looked at her and nodded. "Thank you."
"You're welcome. If you need me for anything, feel free to contact me." She smiled at Chu Bai.
"Anything?"
Chu Bai touched the tip of his nose.
Qingqiu Yanmo covered her mouth and laughed.
"Pfft—uh-huh, anything."
With that, she left.
Chu Bai looked at her back.
It was obvious that she was trying to get in his good books!
"Forget it. Anyway, I don't have any grudge against Rose Paradise. It's indeed better to sell things to them."
Chu Bai continued to mutter to himself, then noticed that some people around him were quietly watching him.
"World of Sword, that's Dugu Wenjian, right?"
Chu Bai's eyes flickered with darkness.
World of Sword was a guild that was not inferior to the Feng Ling Dynasty.
The Guild Leader was Dugu Wenjian, one of the top ten players on the Heaven Leaderboard. He was very strong.
Chu Bai had a grudge against him. In "The World", to get the ownership of a Boss, Chu Bai fought them. After that, Dugu Wenjian publicly announced that he would fight Chu Bai to the death.
In the game, killing people and stealing treasures were common.
He, Chu Bai, had powerful equipment and tools on him, so he naturally would have preferred to attack in secret.
Chu Bai glanced at the rankings.
Level Ranking:
1st place: Level: 9, Class: Swordsman, Nickname: Bai Ye
2nd place: Level: 8, Class: Swordsman, Nickname: Emperor
3rd place: Level: 8, Class: Assassin, Nickname: Shadow
4th place: Level: 8, Class: Swordsman, Nickname: One Sword Is Useless
5th place: Level: 8, Class: Fire Mage, Nickname: Fire Firmament
6th place: Level: 8, Class: Swordsman, Nickname: Dugu Wenjian
7th: Level: 8, Class: Archer, Nickname: Sudden Wind
8th place: Level: 8, Class: Swordsman, Nickname: Jian Nanshan
9th: Level: 8, Class: Swordsman, Nickname: Feng Ling
10th place: Level: 8, Class: None, Nickname: Playboy
The changes in the rankings were quite big. A few people were pushed down. Feng Ling and Dugu Wenjian were now on the rankings.
The reason why they caught up was very simple. As the players' levels increased, more and more Bronze and Silver Bosses were discovered. The Bosses gave a ton of EXP. Moreover, there were more and more Bronze and Silver regular monsters. Their EXP was quite high too.
This Dugu Wenjian was not in Starter Village #7777, but he had killed a Gold Boss and monopolized the EXP to reach the top ten of the rankings.
As for Chu Bai, he had just come online today. The others had already played for four to five hours, so it was reasonable for his level to gradually catch up.
"Don't run! Sisters, kill this hooligan!"
"Playboy, so what if you're on the rankings? You despicable person! Bah! I'll beat you to death."
Playboy shouted, "Sisters, it's for a mission I accepted. I didn't want to kiss you."
"Pfft! How can there be such a mission? You don't want to kiss me? Are you saying you won't kiss my devastatingly beautiful face?"
"F*ck! Then why did you touch my chest after kissing me?"
"…"
The group of girls was still chasing after him.
Whoosh—
Playboy shouted as he ran, "Sisters, stop chasing me. Bai Ye is my big brother. As long as you don't chase me, I'll introduce you to Lord Bai Ye."
Chu Bai, "…"
Hearing this, many girls stopped.
"Really? You know Bai Ye?" a girl asked.
"Of course! Otherwise, how do you think my level increased so quickly and broke into the top ten of the level rankings? That's because my brother helped me farm! If my brother didn't help me farm, he would have reached Level 10 long ago. Therefore, I have a deep relationship with my brother," Playboy said as he collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
The girls looked at each other.
"Alright! As long as you introduce Lord Bai Ye to us, I'll let you off."
Playboy walked toward them.
"No problem, but there's one condition. I'll introduce my big brother to whoever takes the initiative to kiss me."
As he spoke, the Playboy leaned over and tapped his cheek.
The girls looked at each other.
"Don't be shameless! You still want to take advantage of me? Who do you think I am? Unless you can make me Bai Ye's friend, I won't kiss you."
"If you don't want to kiss me, then queue up at the back. Let me tell you, there's a limit to the number of friends a player can have. My brother is so popular. He has added many friends. There aren't many spots left. First come, first served."
Playboy shouted.
"I'll do it! I'll go first!"
A girl leaned over and kissed his cheek.
"Don't push! I'm first! I'm in the front."
Then a second, a third, a fourth…
Some of the women remained unmoved.
"Hehe."
After being kissed by the eight girls, Playboy smiled foolishly.
"Where is Lord Bai Ye? Quickly introduce Lord Bai Ye to me."
"Bai Ye is there! Sisters, he is there!"
Someone saw Chu Bai and shouted.
Then, a group of girls ran over in unison.
Chu Bai, "…"
"Lord Bai Ye, I kissed him. Can you give me a friend slot?"
"That's right, that's right. I'm the first to kiss him. Bai Ye, you must be the first to give me a friend slot."
"And me. And me."
"…"
Chu Bai awkwardly touched the tip of his nose.
Then he spoke slowly.
"No… Firstly, I don't know him. Secondly… if you wanted to add me as a friend, why would you be kissing someone else who's not me?"
Chapter 32
The girls were stunned.
Then, they looked at Playboy.
"Sisters, we've been tricked! Kill him!"
"F*ck! Kill him!"
"I'll kill you!"
"…"
A group of girls rushed toward Playboy angrily.
Chu Bai shook his head helplessly and walked away.
"Hey, wait a minute. Does what Bai Ye said mean that he'll add you as a friend if you kiss him?" 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
A girl looked around and said uncertainly.
"Ding… All players of Starter Village 77777, please take note that the Starter Village has been invaded by an unknown demonic Qi. The situation is critical. All players are advised to head to the Demon Dragon Cave to resolve the danger of the Starter Village. Mission reward: Every monster killed in the Demon Dragon Cave will award additional experience points and gold coins. There will also be an unknown reward."
"Ding… All players in Starter Village 77777, please take note…"
"…"
The system notification sounded in the minds of every player.
This notification instantly caused a huge commotion.
"F*ck! EXP reward mission! Charge, charge, charge!"
"Is this a quest that only our Starter Village 77777 has? It should be the case, right? Otherwise, why would they specifically mention Starter Village 77777? Wouldn't the other Starter Villages lose out if they don't have this?"
"Yes, there must be similar missions that reward experience. It's just different from ours. Don't think about it. Hurry up and go to the Demon Dragon Cave."
"…"
With that, many people put down their matters on hand and rushed to the Demon Dragon Cave.
Chu Bai walked toward the village chief.
"Division Leader, Bai Ye didn't leave the village. He seems to be walking toward the village chief's courtyard."
In a small alley in the village, a few people were talking.
A bearded man frowned.
"Strange, why isn't he leaving the village? Such an important quest has already been triggered. Why isn't he in a hurry to go? He's number one on the level rankings. Normally, he should eager to rush in. He wouldn't want to be surpassed by others. At the same time, he's also the player with the highest chance of being the first to leave the beginner village. The rewards will be very generous. How strange!"
"Could it be that he knows that we're going to hinder him? So perhaps he wants to wait until we're all gone first? Branch Leader Zhan Tian's people at the front line are already prepared. They're just waiting for us to pincer the target."
These people were from World of Sword. They had received orders from their superiors to kill Bai Ye and seize his treasure.
Jian Ba thought for a moment and suddenly clenched his fists.
"Could it be that some b*stard has leaked the secret?"
At the same time, Qingqiu Yanmo and dozens of girls happened to pass by the alley and heard their conversation.
"President Yun."
When Jian Ba saw Qingqiu Yanmo, he immediately called out respectfully.
He could not afford to provoke this woman. This woman was a real big shot. Even his head did not dare to offend her easily.
In the entire Starter Village of 77777, not even the most famous and awesome people were her match. This woman was definitely the person with the highest status in the Starter Village.
Qingqiu Yanmo smiled at him and left with her group.
Oh dear, she was bad-mouthed.
"Miss, he bad-mouthed you," a girl said angrily.
Qingqiu Yanmo smiled. "Then what should we do?"
"Get rid of them."
Qingqiu Yanmo smiled.
"Kill them."
After saying that, she walked ahead.
…
Soon, Chu Bai arrived at the village chief's place.
Why did Chu Bai go to the village chief?
When all the players heard the system notification, they all walked toward the Demon Dragon Cave. However, based on Chu Bai's experience, he knew that the players had overlooked one thing. That was that this quest was endangering the life and death of the entire village. As the village chief, he was naturally the person he was most concerned about.
In that case, he might be able to receive a related side mission if he went to the village chief.
Chu Bai also wanted to give it a try.
Just as he reached the door, a voice sounded.
"Brother!"
Chu Bai looked over.
Whoa, that person is here too?
"Brother!"
Playboy ran up to Chu Bai.
"Don't call me brother. I'm not your brother."
"Hehe, big brother, I'm sorry about what happened before. Who asked you to be so famous and stay in the same starter village as me?" Playboy smiled and scratched his head.
Chu Bai looked at him.
To be honest, this person was really handsome! He was very fair and his body was quite slender. He looked like a young hunk, and his legs even felt thinner than some girls'. Many girls would happily devour a guy like him.
Then, the Playboy came to Chu Bai's side and whispered, "I've wooed three girls. Big Brother, how about I give you two of them? I'll leave one for myself, she smells nice."
Chu Bai, "…"
Chu Bai directly walked toward the village chief, ignoring him.
"Hey, hey, hey, Big Brother, how about I let you have all three? Let me follow you."
Playboy immediately chased after him.
"What's the point of charming those girls? Go and flirt with Qingqiu Yanmo," Chu Bai said casually.
"F*ck! I can't get that woman. No way!" Playboy was terrified.
"What? Are you scared?" Chu Bai looked at him.
"No, it's one thing that she's not an easy woman to deal with, but more importantly, look at her butt! It's massive. She must be a pro in that aspect. I'm as thin as a stick—I'd die." Playboy shook his head.
"You're unbelievable." Chu Bai then asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Hehe, Big Brother, what are you doing here? I'm doing the same thing."
This person was indeed no fool.
Chu Bai then saw the village chief and greeted him with a smile. "Village chief."
"Bai Ye!"
The village chief immediately smiled when he saw Chu Bai.
Chu Bai walked over.
"Village Chief, I heard that there's a terrifying Demonic Qi leaking out of the Demon Dragon Cave."
"Yes! It happened in the same direction where you ventured to the Dark Abyss last night. Now, the entire Dark Abyss has become a demonic land. All the living beings inside have been demonized. According to the investigation of the villagers, the source of the demonic energy is in the Demon Dragon Cave. It seems that the demonic energy is still seeping out. If we can't control it, I'm afraid the entire village will be corroded by the demonic energy. The situation is dire."
The village chief paused for a moment before continuing, "Many warriors have already gone to the Demon Dragon Cave. Brother Bai Ye, are you going too?"
Chu Bai nodded.
"That's great! I believe in your ability!" The village chief then looked at Playboy.
"It seems that this young hero is also going to the Demon Dragon Cave. Coincidentally, I have something here that I need your help with."
Chu Bai said, "Please speak, Village Chief."
The village chief took out two flags and handed them to Chu Bai and Playboy.
"Ding… You have obtained the [Demon Suppression Banner]."
[Demon Suppression Banner]: Grade: None. A light weapon filled with light power. It can be used to intimidate demon spirits.
The village chief said, "The Demon Dragon Cave's Demonic Qi is unavoidable. According to the ancient records left behind by the ancestors of the village, the Demon Dragon Cave has existed for 10,000 years. The Demonic Qi is powerful, and it's difficult for normal people to approach it. Rumor has it that during the battle of the gods 10,000 years ago, a powerful subordinate of the Demon God was beaten into the village and then created the Demon Dragon Cave. Fortunately, the Demon Dragon Cave has been relatively calm for 10,000 years."
"Our ancestors predicted that there would be adventurers from another world ten thousand years after that incident. They would be resistant to the Demonic Qi and have the ability to destroy the demonic creatures in the Demon Dragon Cave. Now, it seems that the prophecy has come true. The function of this Demon Suppression Banner is to seal the Demon Dragon Cave forever when the Demonic Qi in the Cave erupts. However, we don't have the ability to do this ourselves. We can only rely on the two of you."
"Ding… Congratulations on triggering the mission [Sealing the Demon Dragon Cave]. Mission Reward: Unknown. Mission Duration: One day. Mission Punishment: None. Do you accept?"
Chapter 33
As expected, here was the mission.
Chu Bai held the Demon Suppression Banner and nodded.
"Don't worry, Village Chief. We will make sure it is done well!"
Playboy nodded in agreement.
"Ding… You have accepted."
"Thank you." The village chief looked at the two of them and said, "If you can successfully do it, you will be the benefactors of the entire village. At that time, I will tell you a huge secret about the starter village."
Chu Bai and the Playboy both raised their eyebrows.
"A great secret?"
What kind of secret could be called a huge secret?
Was this the mission reward?
"That's right! A huge secret!"
Chu Bai nodded. "Alright, then I'll head over first."
"Go on, and be careful!"
Then, Chu Bai and the Playboy left.
…
"By the way, can you really ignore the system and not be punished by lightning for molesting a girl?"
On the way, Chu Bai asked curiously.
"F*ck! Big brother, I'm pissed off now that you mention this. Dammit! I met an old man and triggered a mission from him. The mission content is to forcefully kiss ten girls. I was dumbfounded. The mission also has a penalty. If I don't complete it, my level will drop to zero. How could I not do it? It's also because I met that old man that I have the ability to avoid being struck by lightning."
Chu Bai suddenly understood.
"I see."
"I'm f*cking miserable," Playboy sobbed. "I want my dignity too. I'm good at picking up girls, but I don't want to do such immoral things. Besides, if someone takes a picture and posts it on the internet, I'll be notorious in real life."
"Then wear a mask," Chu Bai said.
"That won't do. Won't wearing a mask cover my handsome face?"
Playboy caressed his cheek and said.
Chu Bai, "…"
They walked out of the novice village.
In front of them, hundreds of people were fighting.
"F*ck! What's going on? Why are World of Sword and Rose Paradise fighting?"
Playboy was befuddled.
Chu Bai also raised his eyebrows.
What was the meaning of this?
"Damn it! How dare they mess with my girlfriend?"
Playboy rolled up his sleeves when he saw this.
"Which one is your girlfriend?" Chu Bai asked.
Playboy pointed at the crowd and said, "That one, that one, and that one. And those two on the far right."
Chu Bai, "…"
"Didn't you say you only had three?" Chu Bai asked.
"Those three are new. These five were from yesterday. Big Brother, let's not talk about it anymore. I have to help my girlfriends."
With that, Playboy rushed over.
"F*ck! Stabbing my girlfriend? Only I can stab my girlfriend!"
Playboy shouted angrily as he charged forward. He picked up speed and leaped.
The moment he jumped into the air, the muscles on his originally thin upper body suddenly exploded outward, ripping his novice cloth shirt.
Bang—
Then, he punched a World of Sword player in the chest.
"Ouch—"
He let out a scream and flew 20 meters away, turning into a white light and being forced to revive.
"My turn!"
Chu Bai, who was watching from behind, was stunned.
What was going on?
Chu Bai saw that the damage of his punch was actually as high as 200 points!
Fierce.
"Hubby, you're so strong."
A girl looked at Playboy's back, her eyes shining with stars.
Playboy half-turned his head and calmly said, "Lady, get in the back."
After saying that, he looked at the player in front of him who was holding a sword and stabbing away at his direction.
Whoosh—
He reached out and grabbed the player's Novice Sword. No matter how hard the player tried, he could not break free!
"Ahhh—"
Playboy held his sword and roared as he quickly pushed the player back. At the same time, he punched the player's face with his right fist.
Bang, bang, bang—
-200, -200, -191
As he smashed away, the player was instantly killed.
Playboy then used his muscular arm to grab a player and threw him at the players from World of Sword.
Chu Bai, "…"
"F*ck!"
Chu Bai was stunned!
The guy was extremely thin and weak before the fight started, but he instantly became a fierce muscleman during the fight?
This Playboy was so unique.
His sudden muscle explosion was one thing. On the other hand, theoretically speaking, he would be injured if he received a player's attack skill with his bare hands. It was equivalent to letting the other party's attack hit him, but he did not lose any HP!
Moreover, the damage dealt with by a player's weapon was high. For example, a Swordsman's Attack Power of 100 could deal 80 damage to a player's body with a sword. If the Swordsman used his bare hands, however, the damage might only be 10 to 20 points.
For example, Chu Bai's current attack power was 260. If he attacked a monster or player with his bare hands, ignoring their defense, the damage would only be 115 points of damage—equivalent to the four basic attributes. It was not related to attack power.
However, every punch of this Playboy dealt 200 damage.
Could it be that his strength value was more than 200? Twice as much as Chu Bai's?
"You're so handsome! You can do it, Hubby!"
"Charge, hubby! Beat them up!"
"Hubby, I love you! Hit them!"
"…"
A few girls were cheering Playboy on.
Soon, everyone from World of Sword was wiped out.
Playboy's bulging muscles had also returned to normal. Then, he randomly picked up a novice cloth suit that was dropped and equipped it.
The five girls ran over.
"Hubby, are you alright? You're too fierce!"
"Too fierce! My flower, I love you to death!"
"Get off! I love him more."
"…"
Playboy tidied his hair and reached out to hug the women. 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝙢
"Girls, if there's anything in the future, let your man come."
"Uh-huh."
"Alright, you girls go on ahead. I'm going to look for my brother."
Playboy then ran toward Chu Bai with a smile.
"Big Brother."
"Impressive."
Chu Bai offered a word of praise.
"Hehe, I'm far inferior to Big Brother."
Playboy scratched his head and smiled.
Playboy then said, "I didn't have any class at the start of the game, so I can't use any weapons. I can only use this pair of fists. Fortunately, the talent I drew was quite powerful when paired with this pair of fists. It's not inferior to using weapons."
The two of them chatted as they walked toward the Demon Dragon Cave.
"Why didn't you take any damage when you held the player's sword with your hand?" Chu Bai asked.
"The talent. My hands are invincible. I'm completely immune to damage to my hands."
This person was very gifted.
…
Resurrection point.
World of Sword Division Leader Jian Ba was dumbfounded.
"F*ck! What's wrong with President Yun of Rose Paradise? Why did she attack me?!"
He told Dugu Wenjian what had happened.
Meanwhile, Qingqiu Yanmo received a call.
"Hello, President Dugu," Qingqiu Yanmo said.
"Hahahaha, hello, President Yun. How have you been?"
Dugu Wenjian's hearty laughter was heard.
"Pretty good. President Dugu, what's the matter?" Qingqiu Yanmo asked.
"Hahaha, it's nothing serious. I just heard from my people that Rose Paradise had a conflict with my World of Sword. They seemed to have killed dozens of my people right after leaving the village."
"Yes, that's true," Qingqiu Yanmo said lightly.
"Oh? How did they provoke Guild Master Yun?" Dugu Wenjian asked.
"In short, I've offended you. President Dugu won't blame me, right?"
"Hahahaha, no, no! When the time comes, I'll teach them a lesson! That's fine, I won't disturb you."
With that, Dugu Wenjian hung up the communicator.
…
Meanwhile, Chu Bai and Playboy were approaching the Demon Dragon Cave.
"Division Leader Zhan Tian, Bai Ye is here!"
Not far away, on a rocky hill, a group of nearly a hundred people watched Chu Bai and Playboy walk over.
Chapter 34
They were one of the two teams sent by World of Sword to kill Chu Bai.
Unexpectedly, the other one was destroyed by Rose Paradise.
Now, they could only handle it themselves.
Zhan Tian said, "Bai Ye's pet has the ability to remove crowd control. He also has AoE skills, but his AoE skills have a one-second charging time and limited range. When he comes, everyone will surround him and spread out. This way, his AoE skills won't be effective."
"Should we force him to death with damage?" someone asked.
"That's right! No matter what, he's still a Level 8 player. If everyone hits him twice, he'll be insta-killed. If he uses the skill that needs to accumulate power, we'll be able to deal a lot of damage in one second. Leave the key damage to me. I have Three Consecutive Sword Qi."
The reason he was so confident was very simple. He had killed an ordinary Gold monster yesterday and obtained an awesome skill book!
Three Consecutive Sword Qi!
He could release three tracking sword qi at once. With his attributes, one sword qi could deal at least 200 damage. Three was 600!
Bai Ye had 1,000 HP. With this trump card, he would definitely be able to finish him off.
Moreover, his 80 people were not pushovers!
All of them were members of the World of Sword. At the same time, they had purchased a large number of Bronze and Silver equipment from Starter Village 77,777. Half of these 80 people were equipped with Bronze and Silver equipment!
Their attributes were very strong!
Therefore, Bai Ye must be taken down!
It had been almost two days since the start of the game. The players had entered many high-level monsters grinding spots. There were quite a number of Bronze Tier equipment circulating. After all, Bronze Tier equipment, Silver Tier equipment, and even Gold Tier equipment can be dropped by non-Boss monsters!
Those Bronze, Silver, and even Gold monsters were not Bosses, but there was a chance that they could drop the corresponding equipment!
Bronze equipment was still quite valuable and has at least not depreciated yet. After all, even after buying all the equipment in the entire starter village 77777 at a high price, they only had a few dozen pieces.
"Don't worry. Bai Ye's weakness has already been revealed. After all, he's just a level player. Even if he can still use that Phoenix ultimate move, it's useless."
"Good!"
Chu Bai and Playboy arrived.
There were many people around because the Demon Dragon Cave was just a little further away. There were also many monsters nearby, and many people stopped there to farm monsters. This place also enjoyed the experience bonus of the mission.
Whoosh—
The crowd suddenly dispersed.
"Big Brother, something's wrong," Playboy said.
Chu Bai glanced over.
Obviously, this should be the enemy Qingqiu Yanmo had mentioned, World of Sword.
Eighty people spread out and surrounded the two of them.
"Bai Ye!"
Zhan Tian held a silver battle axe that emitted a silver light and slowly walked toward Chu Bai.
The surrounding people looked over.
"F*ck! Someone is besieging Bai Ye again!"
"This time it's… World of Sword! But why would they dare to do this? Bai Ye's skills are incredible. He single-handedly defeated over a hundred people and escaped unscathed. Aren't they afraid?"
"Previously, he soloed hundreds of people. His Phoenix ultimate skill instantly killed dozens of people. Perhaps they're sure that the skill is on cooldown. After all, it's so powerful. And this is World of Sword we're talking about. Since they dare to attack, they must be confident."
"There will be a good show to watch again. Let me see if Lord Bai Ye can escape unscathed this time." 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢
"…"
Zhan Tian looked at Chu Bai and said, "I believe you know who I am."
"Big Brother, I know this person," Playboy said to Chu Bai.
Zhan Tian smiled.
"He's a pile of sh*t that I pooped. F*ck! I'm so awesome! My poop actually turned into a human form."
Hearing this, Zhan Tian's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Hahahaha—"
Many people around them could not help but laugh.
"You're courting death! Playboy, tenth on the leaderboard. Hehehe, since you're here, we'll let you drop your equipment together," Zhan Tian said coldly.
Then, he raised the battle axe in his hand. "Everyone, attack!"
"Yes!"
They charged at the two of them in unison while the long-range players launched long-range attacks.
At the same time, Zhan Tian crushed a scroll.
A white light appeared on the bodies of everyone from World of Sword.
This was one of the reasons why they were so confident!
This scroll could reduce everyone's damage by 50%. It should be used in a large dungeon, but it was worth it for the high-level equipment Bai Ye had.
"F*ck! It's a good time to practice!"
Bang—
After saying that, Playboy's muscles exploded and tore his novice clothes apart again.
As for Chu Bai, he quickly condensed a tornado.
"Whirlwind."
Whoosh—
Five random people were swept up by the wind that suddenly appeared under their feet.
Sky Dance was not easy to use. World of Sword had obviously come prepared. Their ranged players were very far apart, and everyone was moving around when they attacked. Although Sky Dance's attack range was large, the effect would not be good enough.
"Spread out! Spread out! All archers and mages, aim at Bai Ye and shoot!" Zhan Tian shouted.
"Hehehe, you're dead meat!"
Zhan Tian revealed a cold smile, especially when he saw that Chu Bai seemed to be unable to attack. Moreover, the attacks of dozens of ranged players were already on their way.
When everyone's attacks landed on Bai Ye, his health bar would be emptied in an instant.
However…
-1, -1, -1.
"What the f*ck?"
Zhan Tian was stunned on the spot.
Those who attacked Chu Bai were also stunned.
"F*ck! My attack can't break through his defense?"
"Are you kidding me? He's just a Level 8 player. Why can't my Bronze bow and arrow break his defense?"
"How much defense does this b*stard have?"
"…"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Zhan Tian gulped!
"Don't panic! Let's just keep pressing like this! Even if we waste time, we can still wear him down to death. All of us will take 50% less damage, and he won't be able to kill us. Priests, keep healing! Archers, keep shooting. Melee classes, go kill that Playboy. Bai Ye can't attack with that skill, so don't worry and fight!"
Zhan Tian ordered again.
"Yes!"
Chu Bai, on the other hand, did not panic at all.
Was his 182 Defense a joke to them?
He could not attack, but there was no problem at all.
He won because he could release skills infinitely!
"Whirlwind!"
"Whirlwind!"
Another ten people were swept up!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Then, three hurricanes blew in three directions.
"Spread out!"
These players were clearly disciplined. The rolling hurricane did not blow up too many people.
"Dammit! Where did Bai Ye get such a powerful skill?! How can he continuously use it?"
Zhan Tian cursed.
"Ah—"
Beside Chu Bai, the muscular Playboy grabbed two players and knocked their heads together.
"I blow people up, you catch them," Chu Bai said to Playboy.
"No problem, boss! But they're attacking you," Casanova shouted.
"Small problem."
Then, a black light erupted from Chu Bai's body.
[Heavenly Demon Protection]: Releases the Demonic Energy within the Heavenly Demon Armor to protect the user. Demonic Energy Entanglement lasts for 10 seconds. It can block a total of 500 damage points. When activated, the user's defense will increase by 20%. When the duration ends or the shield is broken, the user will enter a cooldown period. Cooldown: 3 minutes.
The skill of the Gold-grade Heavenly Demon Armor could absorb 500 points of damage! With attacks that they could not break through his Defense, Chu Bai was invincible for at least 10 seconds with Heavenly Demon Protection.
Chapter 35
-1, -1, -1
Everyone was dumbfounded!
"F*ck! He still has a shield! F*ck!"
"Wait a minute, I remember that he has a pet that can heal him, right? And he can use HP potions himself. F*ck! He is impossible to kill."
"…"
Those people broke down.
As for Chu Bai, he continuously released Whirlwind.
The whirlwind skill was difficult to hit a large number of people, and even if it hit, it would not be an insta-kill. However, Playboy was on a rampage!
Since he was so relentless, Chu Bai was too lazy to fight himself and let Playboy take control.
One by one, the enemies were swept up by the whirlwind. Meanwhile, Playboy ran quickly and jumped more than five meters high. He reached out and grabbed a player who was swept up by the wind. Then, he landed and jumped again. He grabbed another player who was swept up and crushed them to the ground with both hands.
If they did not die instantly, he would continue to beat them to death.
He was vicious.
"F*ck! How can he jump so high? F*ck!"
The surrounding people were dumbfounded.
Chu Bai continuously released whirlwinds to sweep people up.
Ten seconds later, the shield disappeared and Chu Bai's health bar slowly dropped.
One person could attack him for 1 point, and attacks from dozens of people would cost him dozens of HP in a second.
"Bai Ye's HP is less than half, keep shooting! Playboy over there is running out of HP too, kill them!"
Then…
A white light flashed, and Lil Xue'er appeared on Chu Bai's shoulder.
"Woo—"
Lil Xue'er let out a cry and immediately released the Heavenly Healing Technique.
Chu Bai and Playboy's health bars were instantly restored to full!
"F*ck! His pet has group recovery?"
"The fox has appeared. Those with crowd control, quickly throw the crowd control to these two and force out this fox's crowd control skill!" Zhan Tian shouted.
"Let me do it! My talent is Freeze!"
A player then cast Freeze on Chu Bai and Playboy.
Chu Bai said, "Lil Xue'er, Holy Spirit Light."
[Holy Spirit Light]: The power of the Holy Spirit bestows upon the world. Effect: Releases the Holy Spirit Light for 10 seconds, enveloping up to 5 units including the user. Removes all negative effects and restores 10% of maximum HP every second. At the same time, immunity to all negative effects for 10 seconds. Mana cost: 1,000. Cooldown: 2 minutes.
Their HP was recovering every second.
"F*ck! Awesome!"
Playboy, who was rampaging through the crowd, could feel his health bar constantly recovering. He could not help but sigh at how awesome this little fox was.
The player who released the Freeze Talent disappeared as soon as he landed.
"Ding… You are immune to control."
"Continue controlling him," Zhan Tian shouted.
Then, he looked…
What the f*ck!
Almost twenty of the eighty people had been killed, and half of them were still in the sky.
"F*ck!"
Zhan Tian cursed.
"Triple Sword Qi!"
He waved his axe and looked at Chu Bai.
–19, –18, –19
Zhan Tian, "?"
"What the hell, did I even hit him?!"
"Do you have a group attack? It's about time to deal with this. Let's not waste time," Chu Bai asked Playboy.
Everyone was speechless.
What the f*ck? So these two were merely toying with them?
"Look at Bai Ye. He can release two skills in a second and blow up five people. Each person can't come down for five seconds. There's also the whirlwind. And that Playboy is ridiculous. He's a bulldozer! World of Sword was still doing fine, but… they took so much effort to reduce their HP, but they're back to full!"
"That Bai Ye is ridiculous. Has no one been able to break through his defense?"
"Reasonably speaking, even if Bai Ye is alone, I think he can still win this fight."
"He is even stronger than a Boss."
"…"
"Alright, watch me."
Playboy's fists collided, and then…
"Group taunt!"
His muscles exploded as he stood on the spot and roared.
Around him, more than 20 players were affected by the Taunt and forced to rush toward him.
Then…
"One, one, two!"
Playboy punched the ground.
Boom—
The entire ground seemed to crack, and dozens of people were sent flying.
Everyone, "F*ck! He's a monster!"
As for Chu Bai, he was too lazy to release Whirlwind. However, how could he not join such a satisfying battle?
Whoosh—
Chu Bai took out God Slaying Calamity. 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝗼𝐦
"What a handsome sword."
They all stared at the sword in Chu Bai's hand in shock.
Whoosh—
Chu Bai rushed over and slashed at a player.
-130
He had 260 Attack Power, and the other party's damage was reduced by 50%. Without the Strength Gem, Chu Bai's damage did not seem to be high enough.
However, this did not matter because Chu Bai's attributes had already crushed these players. It was fine as long as he knew in his heart that the Strength Gem was a consumable. It did not matter if it was gone.
"Flaming Triple Slash!"
[Flaming Triple Slash]: A Swordsman skill that does not need to be charged up. It has strong attack power and is an area-of-effect skill. Effect: The Flaming Triple Slash is divided into three parts. The first part is a Flame Slash with a distance of five meters, dealing damage of current Attack Power to enemies within a straight line of five meters. The second part is a horizontal slash, dealing damage of current Attack Power to enemies within a distance of five meters and a width of five meters. The third part is a Leap Slash. When it lands on the ground, it deals damage of 2* current Attack Power to all enemies within a five-meter radius. It also has a knockback effect. Each part of the damage has a 10% chance of causing a burn effect. Lasts for three seconds, draining 100 HP per second. Mana cost: 100. Cooldown: 30 seconds.
-130, -130, -260
"Damn, he's so cool!"
"Whirlwind."
As he attacked, Chu Bai took advantage of the opportunity to release another Whirlwind.
Zhan Tian gulped.
He calculated the time. The effect of the scroll was about to pass.
-260, -520
"Ding… You have triggered [Divine Slaughter]'s 200% damage effect."
"Triple Sword Qi!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Zhan Tian, "?"
What the f*ck?
The two of them crushed almost all 80 people!
Some people knew that they could not fight back at all, so they ran in all directions!
"Whirlwind!"
The five people were plucked by Chu Bai.
"Whirlwind."
Another five people were caught, including Zhan Tian, who was about to escape.
On the other side, the Playboy caught up to the two of them and smashed their heads to the ground.
"Fireball."
It was the Mage's fireball that he had obtained with his Infinite Ultimate. Then, he continuously condensed fireballs with both hands and threw them haphazardly at the people who were swept up.
Bang —
Everyone was speechless.
"F*ck! This Bai Ye can even use Mage class skills?"
The surrounding people were dumbfounded.
Soon, only Zhan Tian was left.
Gulp—
Zhan Tian gulped.
"Don't kill…"
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Bai walked over and slit his throat.
-260
He was instantly killed on the spot.
On the ground, there was a large pile of Bronze and Silver equipment. The surrounding people were stunned.
Unfortunately, they were not the ones who killed them. They could not pick him any of it.
Chu Bai tucked away all the equipment.
"Big Brother."
The Playboy, who had changed into new clothes and returned to his thin and weak state, walked over.
"I'll split it with you later."
"Hey, there's no need. I'm not short of money. My girlfriends are all rich women. I have all the equipment I need."
Playboy laughed.
"Alright, let's go to the Demon Dragon Cave."
Then they walked away.
Only a group of shocked players were left behind.
Chapter 36
Zhan Tian and dozens of others stood at the resurrection point.
His only chance to revive was gone…
F*ck!
"Leader, that f*cking Bai Ye is too scary! His defense is too high! And that stupid skill, is it unlimited? I was in the sky for five f*cking seconds. Although I didn't take any damage, I flew into the sky again as soon as I landed. What the hell."
"I guess this Bai Ye's talent is to make one skill a day have infinite release. That's ridiculous!"
"Even so, we should still be able to kill him in this battle. But who would have thought that no one could break through his defense? He even has a pet that recovers health. It's too ridiculous!"
"…"
Zhan Tian clenched his fists!
"F*ck! My Silver Battle Axe has been dropped! Dozens of Bronze Equipment and several Silver Equipment have been dropped! F*ck!"
Their losses accounted for more than three million!
He gave Dugu Wenjian a call.
"How was it?" Dugu Wenjian asked directly.
"Leader, we failed."
The other end was silent for a few seconds.
"That shouldn't be the case. Based on your configuration and the damage reduction scrolls, if we split up, even if he uses that skill infinitely, he could still easily kill him," Dugu Wenjian said.
"Boss, he has an extra helper this time. It's that Playboy on the leaderboard. He's quite powerful. Of course, that wasn't important. The most important thing is that Bai Ye's defense is ridiculous! I only dealt 20 damage to him with Triple Sword Qi. No one else can break his defense. He probably has Gold-rank armor on him. Without a Gold-rank weapon, we can't fight him."
"Yeah, I got it. How's the damage?"
"The equipment drop mechanism. It's all gone."
In the game, if a player was killed by another player, they would randomly drop one to five pieces of equipment. There was no so-called distinction of who attacked first. Apart from the equipment they were wearing, the equipment that could be dropped also included the items in their storage bags.
Although equipment drops were random, the higher the grade of the equipment, the easier it was to drop them!
Currently, everyone only had one piece of Bronze Equipment at most. The rest were beginner equipment or Steel Equipment. If only one piece of equipment was dropped, there was a chance of keeping the Bronze Equipment. However, if one was unlucky, two, three, or even five pieces of equipment would drop. Good equipment was hard to keep.
Only when everyone had better equipment in their storage bags would they be able to keep the good equipment.
Of course, if they permanently died, all their equipment would drop.
Dugu Wenjian was silent for a second and said, "You will bear the losses."
"Yes!"
…
"Impressive."
While Chu Bai and Playboy walked toward the Demon Dragon Cave, Chu Bai praised the other man.
"Hehe, Big Brother is still the best! Your talent is really amazing! Unlimited skill release, right?"
Chu Bai nodded but did not elaborate.
Everyone now knew that his skill was unlimited, but they definitely did not know the specifics.
"Yes, yes!"
"Your skills are also quite cool. After your muscle expansion, your bodily functions can even allow you to jump more than five meters high. Moreover, the combination of those two skills is savage," Chu Bai said.
"Hehe, big brother, let's add each other as friends."
"Ding… Playboy requests to add you as a friend. Do you accept?"
"Agreed."
Seeing that Chu Bai had agreed to his friend request, the Playboy put on an excited expression!
"So cool!"
He laughed foolishly.
"Let's go. We still have a mission to complete."
They walked forward.
Along the way, there were other players who were farming monsters. There were still quite a lot of them.
Almost all the players had gathered near the Demon Dragon Cave. After all, it would be a waste not to go on a mission with extra experience points.
In front of him, the terrain gradually became similar to the mountain range where he had met Lil Xue'er previously.
"Wow! What a beautiful little fox!"
Little Xue'er, who was lying on Chu Bai's shoulder, immediately attracted the attention of many girls.
"Wow! So beautiful, so cute, so cute!"
They all gathered around.
"Lord Bai Ye, can I touch her? She's so cute! Eh?"
Playboy was immediately pushed aside by everyone.
Lil Xue'er looked at these girls and weakly lay on Chu Bai's shoulder.
"Wow! Big watery eyes, Ah! I can't take it!"
"It's killing me! How can it be so cute? I want it so bad. Bai Ye, are you selling your pet? I'll pay 10,000 gold coins!"
Hearing this, Playboy's eyes lit up!
F*ck! This rich lady!
Chu Bai shook his head. "Sorry, I'm not selling."
Playboy stood there and clenched his fists!
"One day, I want to have such a cute pet too."
Many people around were shouting.
"Brothers, I'm a Level 5 Swordsman and have two skills. Currently, there's a Fire Mage in my team. I'm looking for a Priest and a Heavenly Shield to enter the Demon Dragon Cave."
"Is there a team that wants me? I'm a Level 4 Summoner."
"I'm 36D. 20 years old. I'm a professional priest. Do you want a team up?"
"…"
The Demon Dragon Cave Quest was a good place to farm monsters, but most people wanted to form teams to advance. This was safer, although the experience would be shared.
"Lord Bai Ye, Lord Bai Ye, Lord Bai Ye! Are you short of mages? I can help!"
"Lord Bai Ye, I'm 36D, height 170, weight 100, please form a team with me."
"Get lost! Lord Bai Ye, I'm 36F, height 170, weight 102. Do you want to team up with me? What? I'm heavier than her, so Lord Bai Ye wouldn't want me? Why don't you take a look at where those extra two pounds are?!"
"…"
When Chu Bai came to the place, there were naturally a large number of players who wanted to join his team. Obviously, Chu Bai rejected them all.
"Brother, she's 36F! It's the real deal. How can you reject her?" Playboy asked.
"If you want to be with her, go ahead yourself. I won't get in your way."
After saying that, Chu Bai walked forward.
After passing through the crowd, Chu Bai and the Playboy arrived at the true Demon Dragon Cave.
There were already many players here.
The Demon Dragon Cave had a total of 360 caves. The entrances to these caves were different, and there were monsters inside.
As for whether it was connected inside, everyone had just entered and no one knew at the moment.
"Brother, which one are we going to?" Playboy asked.
"Whatever. Pick the nearest one."
"Okay."
Then they walked straight in.
The space inside was huge and quite dark. The monsters outside had already been dealt with by the players who had entered before them.
They quickly walked deeper inside.
In about ten minutes, they encountered the crowd in front of them.
In the huge space, hundreds of players were fighting a large number of monsters!
"F*ck! No! The strength of the monsters here is a little high. Brothers, are there any priests? Heal me. I've used up all my potions." 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"The Priest in my party has been stabbed to death by the Poisonous Bead. Are there any other Priests? Come to my party."
"…"
Chu Bai cast a Scanning spell.
[Venomous Demon Spider]: Level: 7, Grade: Bronze Monster, Health Points: 1,800. Originally an ordinary spider living in the Demonic Dragon Cave, due to the interference of Demonic Qi, it turned into a powerful Venomous Demon Spider. It is relatively fast, and its body is venomous. It is relatively dangerous. (Buff: Kill the Venomous Demon Spider and obtain an additional 30% EXP)
Skill: [Toxic Sprint]: Locks onto a target, then accelerates and rushes over, stabbing the target with its sharp front claws, causing damage, with a 3-second poison effect. Cooldown: 10 seconds.
[Poison Silk Entanglement]: Spits out poisonous threads. The target that is hit will be imprisoned for 10 seconds. The imprisoned target will have to break free. Cooldown: 30 seconds.
"Ding… You have obtained the ultimate skill [Poison Silk Entanglement]."
"Ding… You have obtained the ultimate skill [Lightning Strike]."
"Ding… You have obtained an ultimate skill…"
"…"
Surrounded by people, Chu Bai instantly received more than 20 ultimate moves.
"It's Great Lord Bai Ye!"
"F*ck! If we follow Bai Ye, won't we be able to reach the end?"
"We've triggered a quest. This can be considered a small dungeon. We've already encountered two Bronze Bosses in the beginning. I'm afraid there's still a Gold Boss behind us."
"…"
Chu Bai took out God Slaying Calamity and rushed over.
"Flaming Triple Slash!"
-260, -260, -1040
"Ding… You have triggered [Divine Slaughter]'s 200% damage effect."
The third attack dealt double damage and triggered another 200% effect, directly breaking through 1,000.
"Oh my god! Is this Bai Ye?"
The players were stunned.
"Normal Attack 260, occasionally dealing over 1,000 damage. I can deal dozens of damage in one attack, and only exceed 100 after using a skill. No wonder his level is so high. The efficiency of killing monsters is on a completely different level."
Playboy's muscles bulged as he jumped on top of a Venomous Demon Spider and pounded its head.
-201, -201, -203
"F*ck!" The players were secretly shocked when they saw this!
Was there such a huge gap between players?
Everyone joined in on the farming.
Chu Bai threw all sorts of fireballs and lightning spells here and there.
There was no need to use Whirlwind. There were too many players around, and they were not on the same team. They could get swept up by accident.
In a short while, Chu Bai had already taken out no less than ten Venomous Demon Spiders.
"Boss! It's the Boss!"
Suddenly, a huge creature appeared in front of them.
Chapter 37
An ordinary Venomous Demon Spider was only two meters in size, but this one was no less than four meters tall.
Its entire body was black, and its six legs were sharp and slender. It had a pair of red eyes and a constantly squirming mouth—it looked terrifying.
[Venomous Demon Spider King]: Level: 10, Grade: Silver Boss, Health Points: 8,000, King of the Venomous Demon Spiders, possesses larger size and destructive power.
Skill: [Toxic Sprint]: Locks onto a target, then accelerates and rushes over, stabbing the target with its sharp front claws, causing damage, with a 3-second poison effect. Cooldown: 10 seconds.
[Poison Silk Entanglement]: Spits out poisonous threads. The target that is hit will be imprisoned for 10 seconds. The imprisoned target will have to break free. Cooldown: 30 seconds.
[Ultrasonic Wave]: Accumulates power for one second, then releases a powerful ultrasonic wave that deals great damage to all enemies within the range of the ultrasonic wave. There is an 80% chance of stun for three seconds. Cooldown: 3 minutes.
Everyone: "F*ck! A Level 10 Silver Boss! The highest level I've seen before is only Level 8! This might be the first Level 10 Silver Boss."
"Sh*t! This [Ultrasonic Wave] feels like it can insta-kill me! No, I have to flee! I only have 350 HP. A Level 10 Silver Boss should easily be able to deal more than 350 damage in one hit, right?"
"With Bai Ye around, what are you afraid of?"
"…"
Chu Bai's target was the Venomous Demon Spider King.
"Swordsman Slash!"
With the Swordsman Slash's acceleration effect, Chu Bai directly stabbed forward.
-3120
A huge damage number appeared above [Venomous Demon Spider King]'s head.
"Ding… You have triggered [Divine Slaughter]'s 1,000% damage effect."
[Divine Slaughter]: All Attacks, All Attack Skills, Ignore Levels, Ignore Levels, 10% chance to cause 200% damage, 1% chance to cause 1,000% damage, 0.1% chance to cause 10,000% damage, 0.01% to cause 1,000,000% damage, and 0.001 to cause 1,000,000,000% damage.
The Divine Slaughter effect of God Slaying Calamity had a 1% chance of dealing 10 times the damage! He had finally triggered it for the first time.
"F*ck!?"
The surrounding people were dumbfounded!
The 8,000 HP was instantly reduced by more than a third.
"F*ck! This is Bai Ye?"
Playboy stood there…
"F*ck! A Level 9 player dealing more than 3,000 damage to a Level 10 Silver Boss? I'm dumbfounded."
As for the Venomous Demon Spider King, its HP bar was instantly reduced by a huge amount. It was instantly dumbfounded and its body shone with red light.
Ultrasonic Wave!
"Run! The Boss has been forced to use his ultimate skill."
Everyone ran out.
Ultrasonic Wave.
"Ding… You have obtained the ultimate skill [Ultrasonic Wave]."
[Ultrasonic Wave]: Accumulates power for one second, and then releases a powerful ultrasonic wave. It will cause damage equivalent to Mana to all enemies in the range of the ultrasonic wave. There is an 80% chance that it will stun enemies for three seconds. There is no cooldown.
-190
A damage marker that was not too high for him appeared above Chu Bai's head.
Above the other players…
-340, -321, -333
With one skill, everyone who did not manage to escape was insta-killed!
After all, none of them had full HP.
Playboy's HP bar had also dropped by half.
"Ding… You are immune to the stun effect."
"Lil Xue'er."
Chu Bai turned his head to look at the stunned Lil Xue'er.
There were already more than fifteen Venomous Demon Spiders rapidly approaching Lil Xue'er.
Even though Lil Xue'er had 1,200 HP, it was still not enough to resist the Demon Spiders if they all attacked.
"Let's form a team."
Chu Bai directly sent Playboy a party invitation.
After forming a team, one would not be injured by his teammates.
Then…
"Ultrasonic Wave!"
"Ding… You have triggered [Divine Slaughter]'s 200% damage effect."
Whoosh—
-1380
All the monsters received the same damage!
Other than the Venomous Demon Spider King, all the other Venomous Demon Spiders were instantly killed.
"What the f*ck!?"
Playboy stood there, his huge muscular arms trembling slightly!
So ruthless?
Meanwhile, the Venomous Demon Spider King was stunned on the spot.
"Ultrasonic Wave!"
Chu Bai released it again.
-690
"Ultrasonic Wave!"
-690
The one-second charge skill had an 80% three-second stun effect.
The Venomous Demon Spider King could not even move.
"Ding… Playboy has left the party."
Chu Bai was slightly stunned when he heard the system notification.
However, the last ultrasonic wave had already been released.
-690, -690 bed𝚗o𝚟𝚎𝚕.𝚌𝚘m
The Poisonous Spider King was instantly killed, and Casanova's HP bar was almost emptied.
"Ding… Congratulations on killing the Venomous Demon Spider King."
"Ding… Your level has increased to Level 10. Health Points +10, Mana Points +10. You have received 5 points to freely distribute attributes."
"Ding… Lil Xue'er has leveled up to Level 4. Health Points +100, MP +1,000, Magic Attack +100."
"What's wrong with you?"
Chu Bai frowned as he looked at Playboy who was almost killed by him.
Playboy scratched his head and said, "I wouldn't want to take your experience points."
Hearing this, Chu Bai was not sure how to feel.
In this game, people were used to seeing each other cheat and be cold-blooded. Especially after Feng Ling's betrayal, it was even harder to make a true friend. Everyone was afraid that their so-called friends would stab them in the back for benefits.
However, Playboy's actions made Chu Bai very emotional.
"Aren't you afraid of being insta-killed by me?" Chu Bai said in a deep voice.
If he accidentally killed him, Chu Bai would feel very guilty.
Chu Bai would not feel remorse if he killed someone who had a grudge against him, but Playboy was at least his friend now, and he even shared his thoughts with him.
"It's fine. I saw your damage, big brother. I have 700 HP. I just recovered it."
"Didn't you see I can sometimes do extra damage?"
He was glad that he did not trigger double the damage this time.
"Forget it."
Chu Bai added, "Don't do this again."
"Hehe, got it, Big Brother." Playboy immediately smiled and ran to Chu Bai's side to hug him.
"Big Brother, I love you. Really."
Playboy was really happy.
In a world where it was kill or be killed, who would not be selfish?
Therefore, seeing Chu Bai say this, Playboy felt that he was fully committed to this big brother!
"Get lost," Chu Bai said testily.
"Ding… As your level has reached the requirement, the second move of [Ode of the Phoenix], [Double Phoenix Flight], has been activated."
[Double Phoenix Flight], the second skill of the Ode of the Phoenix, Magic Attack, summons two phoenix phantoms. Each phoenix phantom can release Feather Impact for three seconds, 10 feathers released per second, each feather deals damage equivalent to mana on impact. Mana cost: 500, cooldown time: 2 days.
"Strong," Chu Bai commented approvingly.
Each of the two phoenix phantoms would cast a three-second Feather Impact. There were ten feather attacks per second. The two of them had twenty Feather Impacts per second. Three seconds meant sixty Feather Impacts. Each damage was equivalent to the mana score. If Chu Bai had 1,000 mana, that meant that if all of them hit, this skill would cause 60,000 damage!
The higher the mana, the higher the damage.
It seemed that he had to think of a way to increase the upper limit of his mana.
F*ck!
If Lil Xue'er released this skill, it would be a bomb.
Then, Chu Bai looked at the dozens of equipment on the ground.
Among the dozens of items, there were ten pieces of Bronze Equipment. The Silver Boss, the Venomous Demon Spider King, dropped one Bronze Equipment and one Silver Equipment.
"Is there anything you need?" Chu Bai asked.
"No, I have a full set of Bronze Equipment. I don't need any of this."
Chu Bai put them away.
The silver weapon that dropped was a silver sword, so he did not need it.
In the interspatial ring, there was also a set of Silver-grade combat pants that he had obtained from killing Zhan Tian. Chu Bai had also equipped it now.
Then, he equipped a bronze wrist guard, and his attributes increased.
[Green Wolf Pants]: Grade: Silver, Usage Level: 5, Usage Requirements: Melee Class, Attributes: Health Points +200, Defense +20, Leg Damage reduced by 10%.
Skill: None
[Wolf Wrist Guard]: Grade: Bronze, Usage Level: 5, Usage Requirements: Melee Class, Attributes: Health Points +120, Defense +12, Wrist Damage Decreased by 5%.
Skill: None
Then, Chu Bai looked at the attributes.
Character: Bai Ye
Level: 10
Title: None
Hunger: 80
Reputation: 211,000
Three fixed attributes: Luck: 25, Charm: 25, Comprehension: 25
Four basic attributes: Constitution: 30, Spirit: 60, Strength: 120, Agility: 30.
Health Points: 1,620
Mana: 700
Attack Power: 270
Magic Attack: 120
Defense: 202
Movement Speed: 112
Critical Strike Rate: 0
His health was really high!
Other ordinary players only had 300+ HP, and the HP they gained from leveling up was very low. Basically, they relied on their equipment to increase it. Hence, those with slightly better equipment generally had 600 to 700 HP or 800 to 900 HP. For example, Playboy, Zhan Tian, and some others were like that.
There was a Bronze Equipment that could increase one's HP by around 500!
However, how many Bronze Equipment could there be at this stage? Hence, the average HP of players was less than 400.
At Level 10, he could go to the trial. However, there was no hurry. He had to complete this mission first.
"Lil Xue'er."
"Woo—" Lil Xue'er cried out before jumping onto Chu Bai's shoulder to lie down.
"Let's go inside and take a look," Chu Bai said to Playboy.
"Alright!"
They ventured deeper.
After walking for more than ten minutes, they did not encounter a single monster. However, there were traces that had been made by others. Clearly, hundreds of cave entrances were connected after entering. Some people entered through other entrances at a faster speed were ahead of them now.
"F*ck! Doesn't that mean that we have less to farm? What a loss," Playboy said.
"It doesn't matter. There will definitely be more."
Three forks appeared ahead, leading in three different directions.
"Run!"
"F*ck! The f*cking Gold monster is too ruthless!"
"This Demon Dragon Cave is not a dungeon map that we can challenge at this stage."
"…"
More than ten players ran out of one of the holes in a panic.
"Lord Bai Ye!"
Then they saw Bai Ye.
"What's going on inside?" Chu Bai asked.
Chapter 38
The health bars of those players were relatively low. It seemed like it was quite dangerous inside.
"There's a group of Gold Monsters inside. They're between Level 5 and 8, but they're all Gold Monsters. We can't defeat them. The Level 5 Gold Monster has 3,000 HP, and our attacks only deal 20 to 30 damage. The Gold Monsters can easily reduce half of our HP in one shot. We really can't fight them," a player explained.
Gold monsters were Gold monsters, and Gold bosses were Gold bosses. They could not be confused for one another!
However, Gold monsters still had a chance of dropping Gold equipment. Bronze and Silver equipment had a higher chance.
However, the attributes of these drops were inferior to the equipment dropped by the Boss.
"Gold monster, f*ck! Big Brother, that's a lot of EXP. If the two of us fight together, we will definitely kill tons," Playboy said excitedly.
Chu Bai said, "There might be a Gold boss. Be careful. Let's go in."
"Okay."
Chu Bai glanced at Lil Xue'er on his shoulder and said, "Lil Xue'er, after you enter, find a safe place to hide. Just heal us at any time."
"Woo!"
Lil Xue'er nodded her little head vigorously.
Then, Chu Bai and Playboy walked into the tunnel ahead.
"Are we following?"
The players looked at each other.
"F*ck! Bai Ye and Playboy are both experts on the leaderboard. What are we afraid of? We can just follow behind them and pick up scraps."
"Alright! Enter!"
Then, the players followed while healing themselves.
In front of them was a small space, about 500 square meters. There were dozens of monsters wandering around. It looked like they had just experienced a battle. Some players had died and their equipment had dropped on the ground.
[Dark Magic Stone]: Grade: Gold, Level: 5, Health Points: 3,000. Originally, it was just an ordinary stone in the Demon Dragon Cave. Under the influence of the powerful Demonic Qi, it evolved into a Dark Magic Stone. Its movements are rather clumsy, but its defense and attack power is strong. It's quite troublesome.
Skill: [Magic Stone Impact]: Gather three Magic Stones and blast them at three locations, dealing huge damage to units that are directly hit. After hitting or touching a structure, it will explode, with an explosion range of five meters. Cooldown: 30 seconds.
[Mount Tai's Slam]: Charge for two seconds on the spot. During the charging period, your defense will increase by 200%. Then, jump to a location and deal huge damage to the target.
"Twelve in total. Let's go."
As soon as Chu Bai finished speaking, he immediately released a Whirlwind.
Five huge Dark Magic Stones were swept into the air on the spot.
Then, the second and third Whirlwinds created more wind clouds.
All twelve monsters were in the air!
"F*ck! Brothers, attack from afar!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The players who came in from behind fired at the Dark Magic Stone from afar.
Boom—
Chu Bai simply released another Whirlwind. The 12 Gold monsters could not get down at all and were hit by the wind.
-270, -270, -270
Playboy rushed over, his fists striking the targets.
The seemingly powerful Dark Magic Stone could not even use its skills. It was doomed to death.
Chu Bai and Playboy were in a team, so he only needed to use control effects on the monsters.
Lil Xue'er stood not far away and yawned.
"F*ck! Why is there such a huge gap between players? Is Bai Ye's talent really limitless? Isn't this ridiculous?"
"One person against 12 Gold-tier monsters. All 12 of them can't even get down from the sky. If I had this ability, I could go anywhere I liked."
"This is too insane!"
"Gold equipment!"
"…"
They looked over and saw that the twelve monsters had dropped a piece of Gold equipment among them.
Chu Bai walked over and picked it up.
A golden sword.
Magic Stone Greatsword.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
At this moment, applause came from behind.
"Finally, I've witnessed the battle of Bai Ye for myself."
Qingqiu Yanmo walked over with a group of dozens of girls.
At the other entrance…
"It's Bai Ye!"
Old Dream Tian Yu walked in with hundreds of people from the Feng Ling Dynasty. When he saw Chu Bai, his eyes narrowed.
"Hall Master, the space here is too small. Bai Ye can't escape. Should we…"
One of them approached Old Dream Tian Yu and made a throat-slitting gesture.
"That's right! We have more people. Block the entrances. The rest of us will forcefully kill him with damage."
"I think it's possible. Our equipment is not bad. We can try fighting."
"What do you think?" Old Dream Tian Yu asked the people behind him.
He felt that it was feasible! After all, he still had a Flame Scroll in his hands!
In such a place, it was like catching a turtle in a jar.
Obviously, they did not know about the battle between Chu Bai and World of Sword. After all, they were already inside the Demon Dragon Cave when that battle started.
As for Tian Xing's 1-point damage to Chu Bai, not many people had seen it, either that or they did not take it to heart.
After all, like World of Sword, they had collected a lot of equipment since then. Along the way, they had dropped nearly ten pieces of Bronze equipment.
"Kill! Kill him!"
"Do you think the Feng Ling Dynasty is afraid of a single person? We're just catching a turtle in a jar. Let's kill him!"
"F*ck! Destroy him!"
"…"
The people from the Feng Ling Dynasty echoed.
"Alright! Our men will quietly surround him first."
Then, their people entered this space and walked over slowly, intentionally or otherwise, until they surrounded the periphery.
At this moment, Chu Bai glanced at Qingqiu Yanmo and asked, "Gold weapon, do you want it?"
"Of course, I'll take everything," Qingqiu Yanmo said with a smile. From the corner of her eye, she looked around.
Whoosh—
Then, dozens of bronze weapons and a few silver weapons gathered into a small mountain in front of Chu Bai.
These were all dropped from those people from World of Sword.
"F*ck!"
When the other players saw this scene, their eyes widened.
"Xiao Yu, bring some people to check them out."
"Yes, President."
Then, a dozen girls walked over to count the equipment.
In next to no time, Xiao Yu walked over to Qingqiu Yanmo's side and whispered into her ear.
Qingqiu Yanmo nodded.
"How much in total?" Chu Bai asked.
"32 bronze weapons, three silver weapons, and one gold weapon. I'll give you 3,000,000," Qingqiu Yanmo said.
"You can just transfer me five million," Chu Bai said.
"What?"
Qingqiu Yanmo was stunned for a moment before she reacted and smiled.
"No problem."
When Old Dream Tian Yu saw so many pieces of equipment, he was even more certain that he was going to make a move.
"Prepare to attack!"
Whoosh—
Before they could move, a figure suddenly flashed over. His muscles popped up as he grabbed two players and threw them into the crowd of the Feng Ling Dynasty.
"Ah—"
Playboy stood there, holding two players who were instantly killed and turned into white light.
"Everyone, if you don't make a move, I'll have to make a move first."
With that, Playboy unleashed his power.
"Group taunt!"
When he heard Chu Bai's words, he guessed what they meant.
The offer was three million, but Bai Ye told Qinqiu Yanmo to give five million. Where did the other two million come from?
Where else but the equipment of the people from the Feng Ling Dynasty?
At the same time, a ball of flames condensed on Chu Bai's body.
In such a sealed place, the first move of the Ode of the Phoenix, Sky Dance, was extremely effective!
When Qingqiu Yanmo saw this scene, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Then, she raised her hand and waved it behind her, indicating for her people to retreat into the passageway.
"F*ck! Do it!"
Old Dream Tian Yu shouted and took out the Raging Flames Scroll.
Chu Bai glanced at those people. "I'll give you ten seconds now. If you retreat, I'll spare your lives. Is that merciful enough?" The corners of Chu Bai's mouth curled up slightly.
"Ten, nine…"
Someone was hesitating.
After all, some of them were still afraid.
"One."
Everyone was speechless.
'F*ck, does one come right after nine?'
"Since ten seconds have passed, you can't say that I didn't give you a chance."
Chapter 39
Crack—
Old Dream Tian Yu crushed the scroll.
They were in a party together, so the Flame Scrolls could not harm the people of the Feng Ling Dynasty.
"Brothers, don't listen to his nonsense. Just do it!"
Raging flames burned the area.
Chu Bai directly put Lil Xue'er into his pet space.
"Ah—"
Before the other players could escape, they were surrounded by a sea of flames, and the damage above their heads continued to drop.
"Charge!"
"Kill!"
"Kill Bai Ye! I'm the best!"
"F*ck! Stop pretending! Do you think you're invincible as a Level 9 player?"
"Don't let him use his ultimate move. Insta-kill him!" 𝓫ℯ𝓭𝓃𝓸𝓋ℯ𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
"…"
They charged into the inferno.
-0, -0, -0
Their teammates' damage was zero, so they could swim freely in the sea of fire.
Densely packed attacks haphazardly surged toward Chu Bai.
"Attack Bai Ye! Attack and use all your skills!"
However…
-1, -1, -1
A damage number appeared on Chu Bai's body, making them dumbfounded when they saw it.
"Talent skill! Everyone, use your talent skill on him," Old Dream Tian Yu shouted.
"Ding… You have been hit by [Weakness]. All attributes decreased by 10%. Duration: 10 seconds."
"Ding… You are immune to the [Weakness] effect."
"Ding… You are immune to speed reduction."
"…"
As for Chu Bai, he immediately released Sky Dance.
[Sky Dance]: Summons a phoenix phantom and select a 30-meter radius. Raises a pillar of flames and deals damage of 10* current Attack Power to all enemies within the range. It also has an additional 10 seconds of burning effect. (Burning: HP will be lost every second). Then, the phoenix phantom attacks and deals 20* current Attack Power damage to all enemies within a 100-meter radius. At the same time, it has an additional 10 seconds of burning effect and an additional 5% instant death effect. Mana cost: 500. Cooldown: 1 day.
"F*ck! How can he still use that skill?"
Seeing this scene, the people of the Feng Ling Dynasty were dumbfounded!
"Such an awesome skill. Can it still be used today after it was released yesterday?"
"F*ck? No… Shouldn't such an awesome skill take a week or even half a month to cool down? This is too much."
"F*ck you."
"…"
When they attacked, they clearly felt that it was impossible for this skill to still be usable. Otherwise, why would they dare to rush in?
"F*ck!"
When Old Dream Tian Yu saw this scene, he cursed inwardly.
"I don't believe it! Steal!"
Then, he directly released his [Steal] talent to Chu Bai.
"Ding… You have obtained 50% of player Bai Ye's attributes. Lasts for 1 minute."
"F*ck! His attack is so high?"
Looking at his 135 extra Attack Power, Old Dream Tian Yu was shocked.
Then, he held the sword and condensed a skill.
"Sword Qi!"
Whoosh—
The Sword Qi hit.
-99
Old Dream Tian Yu, "?"
His current Attack Power was 200, and this skill dealt an additional 50% damage. Therefore, in theory, this skill could deal 300 points of damage. Why did it only deal so little damage?
"His defense… What the f*ck?"
Old Dream Tian Yu glanced at his extra 100 defense points…
Bai Ye had 200 Defense?
Whoosh—
After that, he ran straight into one of the passageways.
"Damn it, running away?"
Playboy knew that Chu Bai was going to use that skill, so he followed Qingqiu Yanmo into one of the tunnels. Seeing that Old Dream Tian Yu was about to run, he chased after him, even if it meant going through the sea of fire.
When he came out, he was already at half health.
"Little brat, you only know how to run, don't you?" Playboy cursed as he chased after Old Dream Tian Yu.
If anyone else dared to chase after him with half their health, the Old Dream Tian Yu would definitely rush over to kill them. However, Playboy was still in the top ten of the level rankings. He did not dare to challenge him.
Moreover, these muscles looked super scary. He would not turn around.
"What the f*ck? How is he so fast?"
Playboy chased after him and realized that Old Dream Tian Yu was pulling further and further away.
He knew that he could not catch up, so he stopped.
"What the f*ck? What level of shoes is he wearing? Why is his movement speed so fast?"
Playboy was confused.
Outside, Old Dream Tian Yu had escaped, but his footsteps did not stop, afraid that someone would chase after him.
After running for a while, he turned around and saw that Playboy was no longer there. Old Dream Tian Yu stopped.
"F*ck! I've spent all my points on agility. How else do you think I can run so fast?"
Old Dream Tian Yu spat and cursed under his breath.
Ever since he had suffered a loss at Chu Bai's hands, all his attributes after leveling up had been added to Agility. He was only thinking of running faster.
As a Swordsman, he did not want to be forced to add points to Agility, but he had no choice.
…
On the other side, Chu Bai had taken care of all the Feng Ling Dynasty players.
He did not care how many people would die for real here.
It was kill or be killed. Why should he care? There was no need to care at all!
"I won't sell these assassin, mage, and swordsmen's equipment. You can take the rest," Chu Bai said to Qingqiu Yanmo.
Those equipment were reserved for Jiang Qianyue.
"Sure." Qingqiu Yanmo smiled.
World of Sword and the Feng Ling Dynasty had put in so much effort to buy a bunch of equipment at a high price. Now that they were all in her hands, it was as easy as blowing off dust.
"Contact me anytime if you restock in the future," Qingqiu Yanmo smiled and said to Chu Bai.
Some of the surviving passersby could not help but laugh when they heard this.
F*ck!
Bai Ye looting players counted as restocking?
However, there did not seem to be anything wrong with that statement. If there were dozens of equipment at once, would that not be equivalent to buying goods?
"Brother!"
Playboy ran over.
"That b*stard ran too fast. I couldn't catch up," Playboy said angrily.
"It's fine. It's only a matter of time before we kill him," Chu Bai said indifferently.
"Lord Bai Ye, I'll leave you be now. I won't hold you back," Qingqiu Yanmo said.
"Yeah, sure."
With that, Qingqiu Yanmo led her people deeper into one of the tunnels.
"Let's go."
Chu Bai, on the other hand, was satisfied with how things turned out. He and Playboy moved forward.
Soon, they passed through the tunnel and arrived in front of a black stone door.
Three words were written on the stone door—Demon Dragon Cave.
There were two small holes on both sides of the stone door of the Demon Dragon Cave. This should be where the two Soul Suppressing Banners were to be inserted.
However…
The stone door was wide open.
"Strange, according to the village chief, our goal here is to seal off the Demon Dragon Cave. In theory, this door should be closed, right? Why is it open now?"
Playboy looked confused.
"Unless we're too late," Chu Bai muttered.
They walked in. It was empty.
"F*ck! Did the monster run out?" Playboy said in shock.
Boom—
At this moment, they heard a loud bang from afar.
The two of them quickly ran out and inserted the Soul Suppressing Banner at the corresponding locations.
However, there was no effect.
"Ding… all players in Starter Village 77777, please take note. The boss of the Demon Dragon Cave, [Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor], has broken the seal and is attacking the Starter Village. All players, please return to defend the village! All monsters with Demonic Qi killed by players will grant an additional 50% EXP bonus. Take note that once the Starter Village is destroyed, the entire village will disappear and all players will die. Under the influence of the powerful Demonic Qi, all players currently cannot log off."
"Ding… All players in Starter Village 77777, please take note…"
"Ding…"
"…"
Urgent system notifications kept ringing in everyone's minds.
Everyone, "?"
Chu Bai, "?"
Chapter 40
Everyone was stunned.
Someone tried to log off, but a system notification made them despair.
"Ding… The novice village you are currently in is surrounded by a powerful Demonic Qi. You cannot go offline."
Everyone, "?"
"What the f*ck? What the f*ck?! I can't go offline? How can I not go offline in this game?"
"Isn't this a scam? Are they forcing us to kill this Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor? What level of monster is it? Where is it? Brothers, gather!"
"What the f*ck?! A Holy Annihilation Boss! Do we have to fight that?!"
Everyone, "?"
"What? A Holy Annihilation Boss? You want a group of players below Level 10 to fight a Boss like that? Is this game crazy? Are you trying to kill us here?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Chu Bai and Playboy rushed out.
At this moment, the sky was already enveloped by a thick Demonic Qi. The Demonic Qi was moving in the direction of the beginner village.
In the surroundings, monsters that appeared out of nowhere rushed toward the beginner village like crazy!
"Let's return to the village first," Chu Bai hurriedly said.
Even if they could fight many monsters, they would definitely die under such circumstances!
They had to gather first.
They ran to the farming point of the Level 0 monster Bristle Boar and watched helplessly as the Demonic Qi entered the body of the Boar. Every Bristle Boar twitched on the ground and then grew larger. Their tusks became longer and their eyes emitted red light.
[Demonized Wild Boar]: Grade: None, Level: 0, Health Points: 1,500. Creatures that have been demonized by Demonic Qi. Even though their level is very low, after being demonized, their speed, strength, and power have all increased significantly. They will go crazy and attack anything in sight.
Skill: [Charge]: Increases speed by 50% and charges at a target, causing increased damage. If the target is hit in a critical area, the damage will increase by 300%.
[Demonic Qi Transformation]: Releases a stream of Demonic Qi and rapidly attacks, dealing damage to the target. All attributes will be reduced by 10% for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute.
Countless players had gathered here.
This group of demonized boars was still easily killed by the crowd.
"F*ck! What the hell?"
Then, the players looked ahead. A black mass of monsters was rushing over.
Tens of thousands of players were gathered here.
In the distant void, a huge dragon could be vaguely spotted in the black fog. Three heads could be vaguely seen.
At this moment, the NPCs in the village, including the village chief, walked over.
"Village Chief."
Chu Bai and the Playboy walked up to him.
"Our mission failed. When we got there, the stone door was already opened," Chu Bai said.
The village chief nodded. "Yes, I already know. I don't blame you. This is a calamity for our village."
Then, the village chief said, "It's just that I never expected that it was a Three-headed Demon Dragon Emperor that was sealed in this Demon Dragon Cave."
"Village Chief, is there anything special about this Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor?" Playboy asked.
The village chief said simply, "The Three-Headed Demonic Dragon Emperor is a legendary monster. Ten thousand years ago, a shocking war broke out between humans, monsters, demons, beasts, and the Gods. We called it the War of the Gods. It was a war between the four races against the Demons."
"And the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor is one of the twelve Demon Generals under the Demon God! His strength is extremely terrifying, and he can even fight against the seven guardians of our human race."
A player came over.
"Who are these seven guardians?"
The village chief explained, "The supreme beings of the human race, the guardians of the three goddesses. Their strength is only below the three goddesses. There are a total of seven professions on the continent. These seven individuals are the pinnacle of these seven professions. They are responsible for protecting the Destiny Continent, and their strength has even reached the level of Holy Seal."
Then, the village chief continued, "Rumor has it that the war divided the entire Destiny Continent into five continents, which are the current Destiny Continent of the human race, the Monster God Continent of the monster race, the Demon God Continent of the demon race, the Beast God Continent of the beast race, and the Myriad God Continent of the god race."
"After the war, the prosperous gods entered the Aragami Era. An ancient demon god of the demon race left behind a prophecy. After 10,000 years, the continent will return to the golden age again. At the same time, there will be chaos. The cause of the chaos is unknown. The five races will have another world-shaking war, and it might even destroy the entire continent!"
"Everyone was taking a wait-and-see approach for this prophecy. However, there's another point to this prophecy. Ten thousand years later, adventurers from other worlds will enter the Destiny Continent. These adventurers from other worlds will join the Humans, Monsters, Demons, Beasts, and Gods."
"They will help the corresponding races obtain victory in the War of the Gods 10,000 years later! From the looks of it, the adventurers from the other world, which are you all, have already appeared. This means that the prophecy is true. The 10,000-year period is almost upon us."
The players looked at each other.
"In other words, we have to choose our race when the time comes, right?" someone asked.
"Yes! Before leaving the novice village, you will face a choice, which is to join any of the five races. We have no right to interfere with this choice," the village chief said.
This news had not been released yet, so they did not know about it!
Therefore, players of different races would be their opponents.
Then, what was the ultimate quest of this game? The system had not revealed it yet.
The village chief continued, "The prophecy also said that five divine children will appear among the five races. They are the key to the victory of the second War of the Gods. Perhaps the divine child of the human race will be among you."
The players looked at each other again.
The village chief looked ahead with a solemn expression and said, "Now is the time for the survival of the village. Adventurers from the other world, if we work together, we might have a chance of survival."
At this moment, a player shouted, "Brothers, this Boss is definitely not something we can handle. Our goal is the large horde of monsters. Previously, we fought each other to the death, but now, we're all in the same boat. If we want to survive, each of us has to do our best."
"Brothers, don't think about it anymore. The monster is charging over. It's time to attack!"
"Priest sisters, pay attention to healing me. I'm going to charge!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"…"
For a moment, tens of thousands of players rushed toward the large horde of monsters that were rushing over.
Old Dream Tian Yu raised his sword.
In order to survive, he no longer cared about messing around with Chu Bai.
"Everyone from the Feng Ling Dynasty, follow me!"
Qingqiu Yanmo called, "Sisters of Rose Paradise, team up and mow down the monsters. Swordsmen and Heavenly Shields at the front, Assassins pick off the monsters. Mages, Archers, use long-range attacks. Summoner, summon monsters to the fight. I will protect the priests. Don't fall behind. Go!"
Whoosh—
Everyone rushed over.
"Big Brother, let's go too," Playboy urged Chu Bai.
"Yes, let's go."
Whoosh—
They rushed over together.
"Whirlwind!"
Chapter 41
Chu Bai was against such a large number of monsters. Even though his whirlwind could only knock away five monsters at a time, the second part of the hurricane could sweep up a large number of monsters at once!
It could be released without any consumption, so the monsters could not rush over at all!
"Brothers! It's safe there if you follow Bai Ye.
"These monsters' levels and grades are generally not high. It's still acceptable.
"F*ck! Brothers, if we can survive this time, then won't the levels of our players in Starter Village 7777 be explosively high?"
The village chief looked at the void in the distance and the huge Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor that was rolling in the black mist.
"This monster is absorbing Demonic Qi. He's only at the grade of Saint Destroyer now. If he continues to absorb it, he might be able to return to his peak state. Once he does, then… we're dead for sure!" the village chief said.
The blacksmith was holding a huge hoe.
"But… Which one of us can attack that monster? It's in the sky, so we can't even hit it."
At this moment, Huang Xin walked over.
"Miss Huang."
The village chief looked at her.
Huang Xin raised her head and looked at the void with her beautiful eyes.
"Senior Sword God, we should make our move," Huang Xin turned to the village chief and said.
Huh?
The villagers were all dumbfounded.
The village chief revealed a smile.
"I didn't expect that you would still recognize me. May I ask when you did?" the village chief asked Huang Xin.
The Sword God was one of the seven guardians appointed by the three goddesses of the Land of Fate. He was a swordsman of the seven major professions and was respectfully called the Sword God.
"When I was in the Land of Fate, I was fortunate enough to come into contact with Senior's inherited power. After coming to the village, I went to the Dark Abyss a few years ago and felt this aura again. I didn't gain anything, so I came out.
"I happened to meet the village chief who was picking herbs in the forest. At that time, I suspected that the village chief was the Sword God from 10,000 years ago."
The village chief sighed. "Ah, I'm old and useless. Otherwise, I could have dealt with this Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor by myself.
"It's all my fault. If I could go deep into the Demon Dragon Cave, I would have used the Demon-Suppressing Pillar to suppress it. Now that I think about it, these adventurers from the foreign world are really amazing. Even such a terrible Demon Qi can't affect them."
Huang Xin said indifferently, "You're calling yourself 'useless', but that's because of the great battle 10,000 years ago. Senior, you were seriously injured, which caused your cultivation base to regress. You haven't fully recovered until now, right? You're the Sword God, so why did you come here?"
The village chief looked at the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor in the sky and said, "It was because of this beast that we were seriously injured in the battle. When we woke up, we were in this small world that the three goddesses had created by force, and we were never able to leave. I guess the goddesses didn't expect me to be here either.
"After that, I spent a few decades to recover a little. I wanted to find this beast, but I found that the place was already filled with Demonic Qi, and I couldn't get close."
"What's the reason for the Dark Abyss? That place is so strange," Huang Xin asked.
The village chief shook his head. "I don't know. I'm afraid it was already here when I arrived at this place. I've wanted to go there several times to find out, but I've never found anything."
Huang Xin nodded and raised her head again, her beautiful eyes looking into the void.
"It's my honor to be able to fight side by side with the legendary Sword God."
The village chief said, "Miss Huang, don't be modest. You're still young, but your cultivation is already so terrifying. You must be an expert in the Land of Fate. However, you're seriously injured now, and you don't have much cultivation left. Are you sure it's fine?"
"I can try," Huang Xin said.
The village chief nodded. "Even if I die, it'll be worth it. After all, this is the chance the heavens gave me."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand, and a golden light flashed as a sword appeared in his hand.
"This sword's grade is average, and I don't know where I lost my original weapon. Anyway, let's go."
Whoosh!
He stepped on the ground with his right foot and rushed into the void with the sword in his hand.
A shadow of a phoenix appeared behind Huang Xin. It was burning with flames as it rushed toward the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor.
"Huh?"
Below, many players saw this scene.
"That's the village chief? The f*ck?"
"Oh my, it really is the village chief! The village chief is an expert?"
"Wait! Who was that woman? She's also an expert! Wow! What a beautiful phoenix."
"F*ck! I was wondering why the village chief could give Bai Ye such a powerful skill. It turns out the village chief is an expert! Since he's an expert, it's only natural for him to have powerful skills."
"I feel like we're going to live. Let's work harder, Brothers. Let's just treat it as a group challenge! Charge!"
…
Chu Bai also raised his head to take a look.
The owner of the pharmacy, Huang Xin, was an expert, which was within his expectations!
However, he did not expect the village chief to be an expert!
F*ck!
This village chief was really good at acting. When he spoke to him, he looked just like an ordinary village chief with no abilities. Chu Bai did not expect him to be an expert.
…
Reality.
"Sister Qianyue, Sister Qianyue, bad news!"
Lu Yufan rushed out with her phone.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Qianyue, who was seated, asked.
"Something big has happened in Starter Village 7777. This is a video uploaded by a player from Starter Village 7777."
Jiang Qianyue then took a look.
The video showed the players fighting against a large number of monsters, including the battle in the air!
Players could connect to the real world and post things on the internet in-game. They would take videos in-game and post them directly.
It was just that it could not be broadcasted live.
"So many monsters? There's such a powerful boss? Then I'll have to go online," Jiang Qianyue said.
She had gone online very early, and there were still two hours of game time left.
"No! Sister Qianyue, look at the post."
Trending searches.
#1stPlace: [A great dungeon has appeared in Starter Village 7777, and the boss is at the rank of a Saint Destroyer. All players can't go offline. If you can't kill the boss, all players online will die.]
Comments section:
Zhang Xiaofan: [F*ck! What the hell? Can't go offline? How can a group of players who haven't even reached level ten defeat a Saint Destroyer boss? Can this game be like this? Won't they die for sure?]
Big Orange: [Not necessarily. I've seen the video. There seem to be powerful NPCs in Starter Village 77777. They should be able to deal with the boss. So, for the players of Starter Village 77777, this is a dungeon where they can kill a lot of monsters and quickly level up.]
Xiao Gen: [But why can't they go offline? I don't really dare to play this game anymore.]
…
#2ndPlace: [Dungeons with extra experience have appeared in all major starter villages. Players who have been online for a long time have made a big profit, while players who went online late at night have lost a lot.
#3rdPlace: [Bai Ye, two playboys are dominating the game with 80 rare skins. Video attached.]
#4thPlace: [What's Bai Ye's defense?]
#5thPlace: [The great god took on ten people.]
Jiang Qianyue was speechless.
"Is God Bai in the game?" she asked.
"Yes, he's there. I wonder if anything happened," Lu Yufan said worriedly.
After all, Bai Ye was the newly rising god. Although he had some friction with the Feng Ling Dynasty, which was owned by Bai Feng's brother, Feng Ling, whom she liked very much, it was understandable.
At this moment, Feng Ling's eyes flickered with a haze as he looked at these hot searches.
"I really hope that all the players in Starter Village 77777 die."
Then, he quickly went online and contacted Old Dream Tian Yu.
"Hall Master!"
Chapter 42
Old Dream Tian Yu was fighting for his life.
When he received the call, he immediately stepped aside to talk to Feng Ling.
"What's the situation there? How about the two NPCs who are fighting the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor? Can you win?"
Old Dream Tian Yu looked up.
"F*ck! It seems like I can't beat it either! This is bad!"
Old Dream Tian Yu's expression changed.
"That's great," Feng Ling said with a smile.
"What? Hall Master, did you say that's great?" Old Dream Tian Yu asked, stunned.
"Ah? Cough cough, I meant to exhaust the boss to death. Let's see if we can do it. Good luck, I'm going to hang up first. You focus on the battle."
Feng Ling hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
He smiled after hanging up.
Since the situation there was not clear, it was great.
Although he wanted to kill Bai Ye himself, it would save him a lot of trouble if he did not have to personally do it.
The monsters below were not dangerous. Although there were many of them, the strength of tens of thousands of players working together was not weak.
The key was the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor in the sky.
If the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor did not die, it would be useless even if all the monsters below were killed. The Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor could easily kill all the players.
…
"No!"
Chu Bai raised his head and looked up. The situation was not clear.
In that earth-shaking battle, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor had the upper hand.
Even though the village chief and Huang Xin were not weak and even managed to hit the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor with their attacks… he felt that it would be difficult to win the battle.
"Brothers, charge! It's time to counter-attack.
"Brothers of World of Sword, charge with me!
"Brothers from the Feng Ling Dynasty, follow me and kill!"
…
Below, the players became more and more courageous as they fought. Soon, they suppressed the group of monsters and launched the horn of counterattack.
"Lil Xue'er!
"Lil Xue'er!" Chu Bai called out, and Lil Xue'er jumped onto his shoulder.
"Can you help the two people up there?" Chu Bai asked.
Lil Xue'er looked up and then shook her head.
It was too far.
"This is bad!"
In the sky, the village chief frowned when he saw the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor gathering power.
"This is one of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor's attribute-lowering skills. I can't dodge it."
"How much is the reduction?" Huang Xin asked.
"Half."
Her brows also furrowed.
If both of their attributes were reduced by 50%, there was no way they could fight!
It was difficult for the two of them to fight it together, but they still had a chance to kill it. However, once their attributes were reduced by 50%, then… the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor would definitely have the opportunity to kill the two of them.
Two black lights appeared on the two of them at the same time.
Their bodies trembled in the air, and their HP bars dropped by half.
After that…
A terrifying power charged at them.
The two of them tried their best to block, but they were unable to do so.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the village chief and Huang Xin fell from the sky, creating two huge pits.
"Roar! You think you can kill me? Everyone will die today!"
In the sky, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor roared furiously. Then, it raised its three heads to the sky and opened its three mouths, gathering some kind of black energy.
[Ding. You've obtained the ultimate skill-Withering Demonic Seed.]
[Withering Demonic Seed: a powerful skill from the top boss, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor. This is a powerful safeguard for the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor to effectively kill its opponents. Effects: select a maximum of three targets. As long as they're within sight, all their attributes will be reduced by 50%, including their HP. This skill can only be used once in three days for five minutes. No cooldown.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
This skill was the most outrageous skill Chu Bai had ever encountered!
Not only could it reduce all attributes, but it could also forcibly reduce one's HP points by 50%?
In other words, one trillion HP points could be forcibly reduced to 500 billion HP points?
It was so terrifying!
The players had defeated tens of thousands of monsters, but…
They looked at the battle situation again…
The two powerhouses from their starter village were actually unable to defeat the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor!
The Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor's HP bar had only dropped by one-tenth, but the two of them…
Their HP bars were already less than half!
"Cough, cough-"
The village chief and Huang Xin stood up with their hands on their chests.
Their expressions were grave.
"I'm afraid I'm really going to die here." The village chief wiped off a mouthful of blood.
All the players were speechless.
"We're finished! We're going to die here."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I don't want to die! I haven't had a girlfriend. I haven't even held a girl's hand. I don't want to die here."
"Who can let me touch their boobs? I beg you! It's my last wish before I die, boo-hoo…"
"I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I still have two houses in the school district, three villas, a family property worth more than one billion, three art schools, and 170 girlfriends. I don't want to die, sob sob sob."
…
Everyone broke down. 𝑏𝘦𝑑𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮
These two experts were their only hope.
However, these two experts were about to die, so they could not live either.
"Heal them! Healers, try to heal them!"
"I've already healed them, but I can't heal the NPCs at all."
When they heard this news, they broke down again.
Chu Bai brought Lil Xue'er and ran to their side.
"Village Chief, Miss Huang."
"Little Brother Bai Ye, I'm really sorry. I've tried my best, but I'm really… powerless."
The village chief coughed out a mouthful of blood.
He already knew that there was no possibility of killing the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor, because… Their attributes had been reduced by 50%. They might not even be able to withstand the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor's next attack.
"Lil Xue'er," Bai Ye said to Lil Xue'er.
"Wuwuwu…"
Lil Xue'er called out, and then two white lights flashed from the two NPCs' bodies.
"It's no use. She can't cure us with her power…"
Before the village chief could finish his words, he stopped in his tracks.
+1,300,000,000
The village chief's HP bar instantly recovered to 90%, and it was the same with Huang Xin.
Their HP bars were almost fully restored.
With Heavenly Healing, they could achieve 50% maximum HP recovery.
Everyone was speechless.
The village chief was speechless.
Huang Xin was speechless.
"1.3 billion? The village chief directly recovered 1.3 billion HP points? That's 50%? It's super worth it!"
"F*ck! The f*ck? God Bai's pet can actually restore health points!"
"Impossible! The skill that she had was definitely not the current one! It definitely wasn't! How can there be a skill that can directly recover 50% of one's HP?"
"We… Do we have a chance to survive?"
…
"Lil Xue'er, Light of the Holy Spirit!"
"Wuwuwu…"
With another wave of power, the two's health bars were directly filled up, and the 50% reduction in all attributes disappeared.
They revealed expressions of disbelief.
"What's this?"
The village chief and Huang Xin looked at Lil Xue'er in shock.
"Village Chief, Miss Shao, don't worry and fight. As long as you don't get killed in an instant, you can recover half of your health in 30 seconds," Chu Bai said to them.
Then, Lil Xue'er raised her head and called out proudly.
Huang Xin was speechless.
The village leader was also speechless.
"Alright!"
The village chief nodded his head excitedly and raised his head while holding the sword!
"Let's go!"
Whoosh!
The two of them charged forward again.
…
Somewhere.
"Hubby! Hubby, bad news!"
A beautiful woman ran over in a hurry.
"What's wrong? Don't worry, and sit down first."
The middle-aged man stood up and placed his hands on the beautiful woman's shoulders to comfort her.
They did not look like ordinary people. The aura they exuded was not ordinary, especially in the place they lived in. Even the manor could not compare to it.
"It's Xiao Xiao. Something happened to Xiao Xiao."
The beautiful woman said in a panic.
"What? What happened to Xiao Xiao?"
The middle-aged man was completely flustered.
"Hubby, look! Something's happened in Starter Village 77777! Xiao Xiao can't go offline…"
The middle-aged man looked at the video.
"What? If they can't kill the Saint Destroyer boss, they'll all die?"
The middle-aged man clenched his fists!
"Hubby, what should we do? What do we do?"
The beautiful woman sat there and could not help but tear up.
"Xiao Xiao and Bai Ye are in the same starter village, right?" the middle-aged man asked.
"That's right. Bai Ye is quite capable, and his pet seems to be quite powerful too. The two powerful NPCs in the starter village were saved and went to fight again. But I'm afraid…"
The middle-aged man held her hand and said, "There's nothing we can do now. We can only place our hopes on Bai Ye and those two NPCs. Believe in our daughter. She'll definitely be fine."
Chapter 43
Starter Village 77777.
When the players saw that the village chief's and Huang Xin's HP bars were full, they joined the battle again. It was like a ray of light at the end of the tunnel.
They looked at Chu Bai and Lil Xue'er in shock. They were so excited that they were trembling.
"F*ck! It looks like we're going to survive!"
"There's a chance! We really have a chance to survive! The f*ck!"
"Great God Bai Ye! You have to do your best! I'm begging you! I don't want to die!"
…
"Great God Bai Ye, can we survive?"
Many people gathered around Chu Bai and asked with pleading expressions.
What were they praying for?
They did not know Chu Bai's abilities and trump cards, but they knew that Chu Bai was capable. That was why they wanted to hear from Chu Bai if they could survive.
"Don't worry, we'll definitely survive," Chu Bai said.
"That's great!"
Some of the girls were so happy that they started crying. They covered their mouths to stop themselves from crying.
Chu Bai was shocked as well.
He had only wanted to let Lil Xue'er give it a try, but he did not expect her skill to be effective against these strong people.
No wonder Lil Xue'er's introduction said that as long as the Calamity Fox was around, there would be no deaths.
This kind of expert had billions or even tens of billions of HP points. The Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor was able to reduce the HP of the village chief and Huang Xin to less than half because of that awesome big move-Withering Demonic Seed.
Otherwise, the two of them would still be in a good state, and it would take a long time to decide the winner.
Now that Lil Xue'er could restore half of their HP in 30 seconds, how could they lose?
"F*ck! Big Brother, you're awesome! I can only say that you're awesome!"
Playboy ran over and said excitedly to Chu Bai and Lil Xue'er who was on his shoulder, "Little guy, I love you to death!"
Some girls ran over. The way they looked at Lil Xue'er was no longer just filled with love but a kind of respect too. It was the same for how they looked at Chu Bai. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟el.c𝚘𝚖
Since Chu Bai had saved their lives, what was wrong with them respecting him? It was definitely from the bottom of their hearts. This was a life-saving grace.
…
Outside, many people were paying attention to the situation at Starter Village 7777.
Some of the players were constantly sending out videos or photos of the process.
Jiang Qianyue and the others were sitting at the dining table, paying close attention to the situation.
"Sister Qianyue, it's updated."
Lu Yufan then quickly opened the video.
The video was of the village chief, Huang Xin, and the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor's battle.
Then, there was the scene of Lil Xue'er healing the two.
"Heavens! God Bai Ye's pet is so powerful that she can actually heal NPCs?" Lu Yufan said in surprise.
"Is this a Grade 7 pet? This shouldn't be the strength of a Grade 7 pet," Yu Qingyu asked in surprise.
Jiang Qianyue chimed in as well, "It seems like this Calamity Fox's healing ability can restore 50% of one's maximum health points. It can even cast it on NPC powerhouses. How impressive."
Many of the players on Blue Planet were also paying attention.
"F*ck! This Calamity Fox is so awesome! The two NPCs' HP bars were directly filled up!"
"No wonder Bai Ye is so strong. He has a well full of HP points beside him. Who can compete with him?"
"I feel like the players in Starter Village 77777 are going to survive."
…
Feng Ling frowned when he saw the situation.
He clenched his fists!
"No! Bai Ye, why can't you just die?!"
His eyes were fixed on the super pretty and cute photo of Lil Xue'er.
"This pet is definitely not a simple Grade 7 pet."
In the beginning, he had felt that the pet's name was not simple, so he was a little surprised that the pet was only Grade 7.
The extent of healing and control that the Calamity Fox had shown were too impressive!
He wanted to get this pet!
It was very easy to get this pet!
He just had to kill Bai Ye. After killing Bai Ye, his pet would become ownerless. At this time, he would forcefully release the capture spell. As long as he successfully captured it, it would become his pet.
Now, the only thing he needed to hesitate about was whether the skill that could restore 50% of the NPCs' maximum health was the same skill that Bai Ye had used in his battle with the Flaming Lion. If it was, then this skill could restore 50% of the NPCs' maximum health with a cooldown of only 30 seconds!
That would be too exaggerated.
At that moment, Feng Ling saw the follow-up video!
"F*ck!"
He stood up in excitement.
"It really is the same skill!"
He saw Lil Xue'er healing the two powerhouses again on the screen, and their health bars were instantly full. This was definitely not a fixed health recovery!
How could she recover a few hundred million HP at once? It could only be a percentage!
"I must get this pet!"
Feng Ling clenched his fists tightly.
With this pet, would he not be invincible?
…
Starter Village 77777.
Huang Xin and the village chief had almost reduced the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor's HP bar to half.
All the players were extremely excited!
"We're going to survive!"
"That's great! That's great! Great God Bai Ye is awesome! The Calamity Fox is awesome!"
"I'm so excited that I don't know what to say. Just now, I was so desperate that I felt dizzy and suffocated. Now, I really want to cry."
….
Finally, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor's HP bar was below half.
"It's my turn."
Chu Bai had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
It had been a while since he obtained the Withering Demonic Seed. Although this skill could be used infinitely, it could only be used once on the same target. Therefore, he would definitely have to wait for the village chief and Huang Xin to reduce the boss' HP bar to half before using it.
If that were the case, the first kill of the boss would be his.
"Half! Half! As long as the Calamity Fox is here, then the village chief and that expert will be invincible! We can slowly wear this Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor to death!"
"It has already used his ultimate move, so there's no need to worry about any accidents. We've really survived!"
…
The Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor roared in the sky.
"You want to kill me? The two of you are not enough! As long as I kill that damned little fox, you two will still have to die!"
Everyone's pupils shrank!
Had the boss noticed Lil Xue'er's existence?
They were done for!
Their hearts skipped a beat.
"I'm invincible! You don't have the power to kill me! You bunch of ants, go to hell! Roar!"
It roared and rushed over!
"Mother of God!"
Many people were so scared that their legs went soft.
However…
"Withering Demonic Seed."
Chu Bai stood there and released it directly.
A black mist burst out from his body.
Then, everyone saw a stream of black light surging toward the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor in the sky.
-5,900,000,000
A huge damage value appeared above the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor's head.
Then…
Its HP bar was instantly emptied, and its huge body quickly fell from the sky.
Boom!
With a loud bang, everyone's body trembled.
"Invincible?" Chu Bai revealed a cold smile.
Everyone was speechless.
Chapter 44
After this loud sound, the entire Starter Village 77777 fell into absolute silence.
Everyone could only hear their own heartbeats and breathing.
After a few seconds…
[Ding. All players from Starter Village 7777, please take note. The Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor has been killed. All players have received 100 gold coins and 1,000 reputation points.]
[Ding. The Demonic Qi has disappeared, and the abnormal state is over. Players can go offline now.]
…
Whoosh!
Everyone was in an uproar.
"F*ck! F*ck! I'm alive! I'm f*cking alive!"
The entire starter village was in an uproar!
"There's also a 100 gold coin reward! That's 10,000 yuan, hahahaha! The key is that I survived! Great God Bai Ye is awesome! From today onward, I'll only be a fan of God Bai Ye! God Bai Ye is my idol!"
"Trash! God Bai Ye is my father!"
"By the way, did God Bai Ye use some skill to empty the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor's HP bar?"
"It seems so. Look, God Bai Ye's body flashed with golden light many times. He… F*ck! Look at the level rankings!"
"Level 19? God Bai Ye directly rose nine levels! Oh my God! So, this also directly shows that the 5.9 billion damage just now was done by God Bai Ye!"
"It must be some kind of powerful tool or something. Anyway, I just saw a black mist, but I don't know what it is. Demonic Qi?"
…
Everyone was discussing.
[Ding. You've leveled up to Level 11, HP +10, MP +10, and obtained five attribute points that can be allocated freely.]
[Ding. You've reached Level 12.]
[Ding.]
".."
[Ding. You've reached level 19.]
[Ding. Lil Xue'er has leveled up to Level 5…]
[Ding.]
…
[Ding. Lil Xue'er has leveled up to Level 19.]
[Ding. As the pet's level can't exceed the owner's, Lil Xue'er's level is forcibly maintained at Level 19.]
That was right!
Chu Bai was immediately promoted to Level 19!
Lil Xue'er had also reached Level 19!
This Saint Destroyer boss was probably not level 100. It was probably only level 50.
Chu Bai had only increased by nine levels, which was quite little. From this, one could see how difficult it was to level up in Fate.
Of course, Chu Bai needed double the experience points to level up, and Lil Xue'er also shared the experience points. They had both reached Level 19, so they were not too slow.
What did the last system prompt mean? This meant that, in theory, Lil Xue'er could continue to level up. After all, she did not have the debuff that required double the experience to level up. However, because the pet's level could not exceed the master's, her level had to be forcibly maintained at 19.
[Ding. Congratulations on obtaining the first kill of the Saint Destroyer boss. Gold +1,000, fame +150,000.]
[Ding. As you've obtained the first kill of the Saint Destroyer boss, the system will release a global system announcement. The system has prepared to release it 20 times. At the same time, your ID: Bai Ye will be highlighted. Do you have any other requirements?]
Chu Bai was speechless.
Why was he so obedient?
"Please add a 'handsome' in front of my ID."
The system: "!"
[Ding. All players please take note, we hereby announce that the handsome player from Starter Village 77777, Bai Ye, has obtained the first kill of a Saint Destroyer boss.]
[Ding. All players please take note, we hereby announce that the handsome player from Starter Village 77777, Bai Ye, has obtained the first kill of a Saint Destroyer boss.]
[Ding. All players please take note, we hereby announce that the handsome player from Starter Village 77777, Bai Ye, has obtained the first kill of a Saint Destroyer boss.]
[Ding.]
…
Everyone was speechless.
"F*ck!"
"Heavens! First kill of a Saint Destroyer boss? Weren't all the players from Starter Village 7777 going to die? How could he get the first kill of a Saint Destroyer boss?
The players from other starter villages did not know what was going on, but when they heard the system notification, they were dumbfounded!
"Could it be that Bai Ye destroyed that Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor? Why? What right does he have? How can a Level 10 player like him kill the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor that has tens of billions of HP points?"
"I'm an idiot! Look at Bai Ye, f*ck! Look at the ranking. He's level 19!"
"Look at the pet ranking list. That Calamity Fox has risen to Grade 8. I knew that this Calamity Fox was definitely not as simple as a Level 7 pet. It's an extremely rare growth-type pet."
"God Bai Ye is awesome! He's outshined everyone else!"
"Yes, in the past, the top players were Emperor, Shadow, One Sword of Helplessness, and other great figures who fought for hegemony, but now… Great God Bai Ye had killed a boss alone. The system announcements these days are all about Bai Ye. How awesome! Is God Bai Ye going to become the second God Bai?"
"Shut up! God Bai is God Bai, while Bai Ye is Bai Ye. No matter how powerful Bai Ye is, he'll never be able to surpass God Bai! God Bai is an insurmountable existence! He's the god in our hearts forever!"
…
[Ding. Lil Xue'er's strength has been awakened, and she has become a Grade 8 pet."
[Ding. As Lil Xue'er's strength has awakened, Holy Moment and Light of the Heavenly Fox have been activated.]
Chu Bai raised his brows.
As expected!
Lil Xue'er had become a Grade 8 pet and had gained two skills. It seemed that she could advance with every ten levels.
[Holy Moment: the Calamity Fox's exclusive skill. It uses its holy light to bless itself and its teammates. Effects: when Holy Moment is released, attack power, movement speed, and defense will be increased by 100% for the user and a maximum of five teammates. During this period, the user will be immune to all long-range damage and dark attacks such as undead, demons, and Demonic Qi. Duration: 30 seconds. Mana consumption: 1,000. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
[Light of the Heavenly Fox: a skill exclusive to the Calamity Fox. It uses the light of the heavenly fox to protect itself and its teammates. Effects: enter a state of invincibility for three seconds with a maximum of three teammates. This skill ignores level, grade, and everything else. Users will be immune to all forms of damage. Light of the Heavenly Fox can be released after the end of the state. Every additional second of invincibility consumes a fixed mana of 5,000 points until the mana is zero. Mana cost for the first release: 10,000. Cooldown time: 12 hours.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
Lil Xue'er was f*cking ridiculous!
Holy Moment, a buff skill, was also within Chu Bai's expectations.
Attack, movement speed, and defense would all be doubled. This degree of increase was very powerful. For example, it also doubled the attack power of the swordsman's exclusive skill, sword intent! And this was a Level 50 second profession change skill. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟el.𝚌o𝚖
Holy Moment also had other effects. During this period, he would be immune to ranged damage and dark-type attacks! The effect would last for 30 seconds!
A 30-second buff! It was a rare sight.
What surprised Chu Bai even more was the second skill-Light of the Heavenly Fox.
F*ck!
An invincibility skill!
Three seconds of invincibility. After that, every second of invincibility would consume 5,000 mana points.
This was an invincibility skill!
Ridiculous! It was ridiculous!
Then, Chu Bai took a look at Lil Xue'er's attributes.
Calamity Fox:
[Level: 19
[Grade: 8]
[HP: 3,400]
[Mana: 39,000]
[Attack: 50]
[Magic attack: 2,900]
[Defence: 20]
[Movement speed: 60]
[Current favorability toward you: 90 (through life and death together)]
Chapter 45
It was ridiculous!
Every time Lil Xue'er leveled up, her magic attack power, health points, and magic power would increase by 100 or 1,000. However, because she had leveled up to a Grade 8 pet, her magic points had increased by an additional 10,000 points this time. Her attack, defense, and movement speed had all increased. Her health points and magic attack power had also increased by an additional 500 points!
Her attributes were explosive.
"Lil Xue'er, go back and rest."
Chu Bai carried her up and rubbed her little head as he spoke affectionately.
Lil Xue'er whimpered, then turned into a white light and entered her pet space.
At this moment, the village chief and Huang Xin walked over.
"Little Brother Bai Ye! I really have to thank you for this! If it wasn't for you, I, the entire village, and everyone else would have died in the hands of that beast."
The village chief patted Chu Bai's shoulder and said gratefully.
"You're too kind, Village Chief. If it weren't for you and Miss Huang, we would have died as well," Chu Bai said.
"In short, regardless of whether it's the village chief, Miss Shao, or Bai Ye, all of you were indispensable for our survival. I'm really grateful!"
"God Bai Ye, I'll be your fan from now on. You're my idol! F*ck! That Old Dreamer Tian Yu and Feng Ling Dynasty actually went against you. In the future, if they go against you again, I'll definitely join your ranks to deal with them as long as you say the word!"
"That's right! The same goes for me!"
"Me too, me too! God Bai Ye, if you build a gang, we'll join it for sure." 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"I want to join too! I want to join too."
"Where's Old Dream Tian Yu? F*ck! Looks like he went offline and ran away. He shouldn't let me see him, or I'll definitely make him pay!"
…
Everyone spoke one after another.
"Adventurers from the other world, it's getting late. You should go and rest."
The village chief said to everyone.
"Alright!"
Then, they looked at Chu Bai.
"Little Brother Bai Ye, thank you very much!"
"Thank you." Phoenix Heart looked at Chu Bai with her beautiful eyes and said, "I want to thank you too."
"The two of you are too polite. You guys should also quickly return to rest and recuperate," Chu Bai said.
"Mm, yes. Little Brother Bai Ye, although you didn't complete the mission you had to in order for me to tell you the big secret of the village, I can't blame you. You saved the village this time. Come and find me tomorrow. I'll tell you the secret.
The village chief patted Chu Bai's shoulder.
"Alright," he said.
Then, they left together.
"Bai Ye isn't a simple figure, Miss Shao. Perhaps you might really need his help if you want to get out."
The village chief and Huang Xin talked to each other as they walked into the village.
"Let's not think about this for now. However, the power that he released at the end seemed to be the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor's Withering Demonic Seed. That's why it was able to kill it in an instant. But why is he able to use this skill?"
"Adventurers from other worlds can each obtain a powerful ability. Perhaps this is because of his ability."
Huang Xin nodded and suddenly thought of something.
"Oh right, when I first came to the village, I lost a secret manual. Did you happen to pick it up?"
The village chief said, "So, it really is yours. I only realized it today. The secret manual was indeed picked up by me. It's just that I gave it to Little Brother Bai Ye."
Huang Xin muttered to herself, "There's no problem with that. It is fine."
…
On the other hand…
Bai Ye walked to the side of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor's corpse.
There were a few pieces of equipment.
Many players had already come over to take a look, but it was a pity that they could not pick anything up. Chu Bai had killed it, so only he could pick them up.
He got a pile of gold coins, health potions, and mana potions.
There were three pieces of equipment, the most eye-catching one being the Saint Destroyer equipment!
Gulp!
Everyone swallowed their saliva in envy.
"A Saint Destroyer equipment, that's too exaggerated! A Saint Destroyer equipment was dropped in a starter village. Who will believe that?"
"God Bai Ye has directly struck it rich."
"I'm so envious, but this is also what God Bai Ye deserves. I don't seem to be that jealous."
…
Chu Bai picked it up.
It was a black bow.
[Demonic Dragon Three Illusions Bow. Grade: Saint Destroyer. :t has not been appraised and can't be used.]
Unsurprisingly, it needed to be appraised.
The second piece of equipment was dark magic armor.
This might be something Chu Bai could use.
[Demonic Dragon Wicked Armor. Grade: Dark Demon. Usage requirements: it has not been appraised and can't be used.]
Dark Demon was above gold, so it was definitely much better than the Sky Demon Armor he was wearing. As for the level of the equipment, it would still depend on the appraisal results.
The third item was Divine Emperor equipment.
This was a piece of equipment that made Chu Bai very surprised. It was actually a cloak!
Cloaks were rare equipment! Especially at this level, they were very rare.
[Demonic Dragon Cloak. Grade: Divine Emperor. Usage requirements: it has not been appraised and can't be used.]
Under everyone's envious gazes, Chu Bai placed the equipment into his spatial ring.
As they had not been appraised, the items could not be listed on the rankings.
There was also a token on the ground.
[Demon King token (8). Grade: Holy Forbidden. The Demon God was the strongest among the powerhouses of the five clans. The powerful Demon God had 12 terrifying demon kings under his command. This piece was the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor's demon king token, and its specific effects are still unknown.]
Chu Bai frowned.
It was a Holy Forbidden-level token with an unknown effect.
He did not know what it could be used for, but he could not just throw it away. He put it into his space ring and looked at a scroll on the ground.
[Blade Waltz Skill Scroll: this is a skill book that the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor had obtained by chance 10,000 years ago when he was fighting against many powerhouses of the human race. It had followed him to Start Village 77777, and because it had never left the Demon Dragon Cave since then, it had always been by his side. After use, you'll receive the skill, Blade Waltz, which can only be learned by blade masters.]
"It should be a powerful skill."
After all, it was dropped from a Saint Destroyer beast.
Then, Chu Bai crushed it.
"Ding. You've learned the skill, Blade Waltz."
[Blade Waltz: a famous skill of the continent's first generation of swordsmen. It's a powerful swordsman skill that can both attack and defend. It can kill people invisibly. Effect: choose a target within ten meters to cast Blade Waltz and they'll instantly disappear from the spot. The target's body will enter a state where the user can't be selected. Following that, a total of five 'shadowless stabs' will be performed in one second. Each stab will deal the same amount of damage as the target's current attack power. It can be a critical hit. If the target dies from Blade Waltz, the cooldown will be reset. Mana consumption: 100 points. Cooldown time: 30 seconds.]
What a powerful skill!
Unable to select meant that while this skill was being used, he would not be attacked. Furthermore, it was extremely fast, dealing five attack moves per second. If the target was killed by Blade Waltz, the cooldown would reset!
Moreover, the cooldown for this skill was only 30 seconds!
This skill was very cool! It made a swordsman like an assassin!
It was amazing.
"Hi there…"
At this moment, Chu Bai's shirt was tugged by someone. A girl's voice came from beside him. It was very pleasant.
Chu Bai then turned his head and took a look.
The moment Chu Bai saw her, he was stunned.
Chapter 46
This girl…
She was so beautiful!
Why were there so many beautiful women in Starter Village 77777?
There were beautiful women of all sizes.
From the little girl Xue'er to the young girl who looked to be 14 or 15 years old, to the mature ladies like Jiangyue Qianying and Qingqiu Yanmo…
However, this young lady was so beautiful that she seemed a little devilish.
The first time Chu Bai felt this way was for his girlfriend, Ling Longxue.
The second time was for Lil Xue'er.
This was his third time!
Jiang Qianyue, Qingqiu Yanmo, and the others were also beautiful beyond comparison!
However, this girl was hard to describe.
She was dressed in green clothes, which looked like a suit.
Her beautiful hair was casually let down. She was not tall. After all, she was still young. Her facial features were extremely delicate, like the stars in the sky that were perfectly embedded there.
She stood there like a little fairy.
Chu Bai saw the ID above her head.
Little Cutie.
Little Cutie?
Wait…
Chu Bai remembered that when he was looking at the level rankings, Little Cutie had a piece of equipment that was ranked behind Broken Glass, but it was ranked higher than Divine Armament.
The ID of the equipment owner was Little Cutie.
So it was her.
She was also in Starter Village 77777.
As her name suggested, she was indeed a little cutie.
"Do you need something?" Chu Bai asked.
"Thank you for saving me."
Little Cutie revealed a sweet smile.
"You're welcome."
"Here."
She then stretched out her hand, and there was a beautiful little flower in her palm.
[Ding. Little Cutie will give you a red flower.]
"For me?"
Chu Bai was stunned for a moment, then he reached out and took it.
[Flower of Death: after consuming it, HP will continue to drop until death.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
"What do you mean by giving me this flower?" Chu Bai asked in confusion.
"It's pretty. I want to thank you for saving me, Big Brother, so here's a little red flower for you," Little Cutie blinked her big eyes and said innocently.
It seemed that she did not look at the flower's attributes beforehand and just gave it to him simply because she thought it looked good.
"Thanks, Little Cutie," Chu Bai said with a smile.
He did not know why, but looking at her would make him feel better. He could be considered a little mature. He just wanted to protect her.
It was very strange.
It was definitely not just because she was beautiful.
"Brother Bai Ye, can I add you as a friend?"
Little Cutie blinked her big eyes in anticipation.
"Alright," he said.
"Hehehe, thank you, Brother Bai Ye."
Her smile was especially beautiful.
[Ding. Little Cutie has requested to add you as a friend. Do you accept?]
"I accept."
"Hehehe…"
She laughed happily, and her big eyes curved into small crescents. She was very cute.
Then, Little Cutie waved at Chu Bai.
"Brother Bai Ye, Xiao Xiao has to go offline. Otherwise, Daddy and Mommy will be worried."
Was that her name? Xiao Xiao?
"Yes, go ahead."
"Bye-bye, Brother Bai Ye."
Then, she chose to go offline, and her figure disappeared. 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦
"Big Brother, my game time is almost up. I have to go offline too," Playboy said to Chu Bai.
"Sure, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
Chu Bai's game time was almost up. He could not leave the starter village today because he needed to go through a trial. This trial would take a lot of time.
He took a look at the level leaderboard.
Level leaderboard:
[First place: Level 19. Class: Swordsman. Nickname: Bai Ye.]
[Second place: Level 9. Class: Swordsman. Nickname: Emperor.]
[Third place: Level 9. Class: Assassin. Nickname: shadow.]
[Fourth Place: Level 9. Class: Swordsman. Nickname: One Sword of Helplessness.]
[Fifth place: Level 9. Class: Fire-type magician. Nickname: Fire Firmament.]
[Sixth place: Level 9. Class: Swordsman. Nickname: Dugu Wenjian.]
[Seventh place: Level 9. Class: Archer. Nickname: Storm.]
[Eighth place: Level 9. Class: none. Nickname: Playboy.]
[Ninth place: Level 9. Class: Swordsman. Nickname: Sword Nanshan.]
[Tenth place: Level 9. Class: Swordsman. Nickname: Feng Ling.]
There were still ten people, but the rankings at the bottom had changed a little. He was Level 19 and crushed everyone.
If Chu Bai could not participate in the trial in the starter village today, the others naturally could not either!
He would participate in the trial as soon as he got online at midnight tonight!
He would definitely be the first player to leave the village.
"Huh?"
Chu Bai then took a look at the hidden class rankings.
There was already a person on the hidden class rankings!
Hidden class rankings:
[First place hidden class: Carols of the Soul. Owner: Little Cutie.]
"It's her?"
That young girl actually already had a hidden class.
Were there any plot quests related to this class in the starter village?
However, it seemed that she had almost never appeared in the players' sight. When Cu Bai saw her, not only he but the surrounding players were also shocked. They obviously did not expect Little Cutie to be from Starter Village 77777. They had never seen her before!
Where had she been all this while?
Finally, Chu Bai took a look at his own attributes.
[Character: Bai Ye]
[Level: 19]
[Title: none]
[Hunger: 61]
[Reputation: 361,000]
[Three fixed attributes: Luck: 25, Charm: 25, Intelligence: 25]
[Four main attributes: Constitution: 30, Spirit: 60, Strength: 170, Agility: 30]
[HP: 1.720]
[MP: 800]
[Attack: 370]
[Magic Attack: 120]
[Defence: 202]
[Movement speed: 112]
[Critical chance: 0]
Chu Bai went to look for the village chief and showed him the equipment. He asked if anyone could appraise it.
However, the result was not good. The village's appraisers could only appraise gold equipment. No one could appraise anything beyond gold.
Then, Chu Bai went offline.
…
This incident also caused an uproar on the internet.
Trending searches:
#1stPlace: [The terrifying quest from Starer Village 7777.]
#2ndPlace: [The Level 10 Bai Ye instantly reduced 5.9 billion HP points from the Saint Destroyer beast, how did he do it? Why was it so exaggerated?]
#3rdPlace: [Calamity Fox!]
Everyone was talking about Chu Bai and Lil Xue'er.
…
The door of a pink room was pushed open.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
The young girl pushed open the door and shouted happily.
When the anxious middle-aged man and the beautiful woman saw the young girl, they immediately ran over and hugged her!
"Xiao Xiao! My baby, you scared me to death."
The beautiful woman hugged her with tears in her eyes. Then, she cupped her little face and kissed her everywhere.
"I'm sorry for making you worry, Mommy."
"It's good that you're fine. It's great."
The middle-aged man nodded.
Then, Xiao Xiao gestured and said, "Daddy, Mommy, I met Brother Bai Ye in the game. He's really amazing. He killed such a powerful boss and saved us all. He's really amazing."
The middle-aged man rubbed her hair and said, "I already know about it. I was worried that something would happen to you. Xiaoxiao, it's great that you're fine. Bai Ye is our family's benefactor. If there's a chance, I'll definitely thank him properly."
"Really?"
Her big eyes sparkled as she said excitedly, "I've added Brother Bai Ye as a friend. Can I invite him to our house to play tomorrow?"
The beautiful woman took her hand and said, "Xiao Xiao, he's not familiar with you yet. If you invite him home directly, he'll definitely be worried. Besides, he's the target of public attention now. Brother Bai Ye will definitely not agree to meet you in real life."
"Oh… Then what do we do?"
"You just get along well with him first. When there's a chance, Mommy and Daddy will thank him. Of course, you have to take care of yourself."
Xiao Xiao nodded her head repeatedly. 'Yes, yes. I want to become good friends with him. Hehehe…'
Chapter 47
On the other hand, Chu Bai opened his eyes and stretched, preparing to go out for dinner.
The effect of eating in-game was not very great. Every time he went offline, his body would be particularly tired and hungry.
He did not want to cook even though he was hungry.
Click.
Chu Bai opened the door.
Coincidentally, Lu Yufan, Yu Qingyu, and Jiang Qianyue were standing opposite the door.
"Hi, Chu Bai."
"Did you guys go shopping?"
"Yeah, we just finished shopping. Chu Bai, let's go out for hotpot." Lu Yufan invited with a smile.
"It's alright. I'll just make do with a few bites," Chu Bai said.
"Oh, it's nothing. The uncle from before is treating," Lu Yufan said.
"Huh? Didn't you guys not like him? Why are you still eating with him?" Chu Bai asked in confusion.
Jiang Qianyue said, "He's quite sincere and contacted me after that. I've also told him about my concerns, and he said that he'll take note of them. Furthermore, he's indeed not bad overall. We should be able to sign the contract immediately after going over tonight."
Jiang Qianyue then turned to Lu Yufan and Yu Qingyu and said, "Be polite to him when you go. He's quite pitiful. We'll be colleagues in the future, so let's be more harmonious."
"Yes, yes."
Chu Bai said, "Is that so? Sure. I'll go with you."
"Let's go, let's go."
The four of them walked out together.
Outside, the sky had already darkened.
The four of them chatted as they walked around the neighborhood, ready to go out.
"God Bai Ye is so amazing. He alone saved all the players who were online at Starter Village 77777," Lu Yufan said as she scrolled through her phone.
"He's very powerful. I feel like he'll become an important character in Fate. He even has that powerful pet."
Yu Qingyu nodded.
"Look, I saw a post. This post has a lot of likes. It's the most popular post."
Lu Yufan handed her phone over.
"Let me see."
Then, they moved closer to take a look.
The user's ID was 'I am Big'.
The title of the post was 'Analyzing God Bai Ye and the Calamity Fox'.
Chu Bai also went over to take a look.
[Everyone, today, I'll analyze God Bai Ye and his pet. The following are my personal subjective speculations. If you have different thoughts, please don't criticize. ]
[1: God Bai Ye's talent. I believe that this is what everyone is most curious about. Everyone says that God Bai Ye's talent allows him to release skills limitlessly, but my opinion is a little different. I have collected all the information and videos about God Bai Ye on the internet and watched them no less than ten times. The following is my conclusion on God Bai Ye's talent. ]
[God Bai Ye's talent should indeed be some kind of talent that can release skills infinitely, and it can be released without consumption, but it definitely can't be all skills. On the first day, he released a thunder attribute skill infinitely, but it was only this skill that could be released indefinitely. On the second day, he released a wind attribute skill infinitely, and the thunder attribute skill from the first day disappeared. He didn't even use it again.]
[So, my conclusion is that God Bai Ye's talent is that he's able to obtain a skill every day, and only this skill can be released infinitely. The skills that he obtained previously would no longer be usable, so God Bai Ye can't release them.]
[2: God Bai Ye is definitely a veteran player. His combat skills are very powerful, and he's not a newbie. It's the result of training many times in the game. I don't know what level he was before, but he must be a master!]
[3: God Bai Ye always wears a mask. I've checked, and he's been wearing a mask since he went up against the bristled boar. I have reason to guess that God Bai Ye doesn't want people to know what he looks like. As for the reason, it might be hatred, or it might be because he's worried that he'll be recognized in real life and get into trouble. It might also be because this is his personal habit. After all, there are some players who have never shown their faces from the beginning to the end, such as Shadow. I think God Bai Ye is a very powerful expert.]
[4: Regarding the Calamity Fox, this is a pet with a growth attribute. I don't know what level it can grow to. This pet's skills are 50% of maximum health healing, stamina recovery per second, and removal of abnormal states. I've seen the first skill in videos, and I'm sure it only has a 30-second cooldown and provides 50% of maximum health recovery. This attribute is very exaggerated. Just this skill alone can make it the strongest healer.]
[These are all my speculations. I'll continue to follow God Bai Ye's development. Finally, I would like to make a statement. I'm a fan of God Bai Ye.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
F*ck!
This person had directly exposed his talent and situation.
Although it was a little different, it was still really awesome.
Comments section:
1st comment: [F*ck, the poster is awesome! It's almost the same as I thought. It should be like this. This is definitely an SSS-grade talent. It's really cool.]
2nd comment: [I don't know if that's the strongest skill he'll ever obtain or if there'll be stronger ones. Anyway, this talent's combat effects are too exaggerated. Moreover, there's such a powerful pet that is the Calamity Fox. I can only say that I'm extremely envious.]
3rd comment: [Prophet, it's time for a knife. ]
…
"How powerful. Skills that can be released infinitely every day. This talent is so powerful," Lu Yufan said.
"Alright, just read it. Don't spread it. It's not good for others," Jiang Qianyue said.
"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Yufan nodded, then turned to Chu Bai and asked, "Oh right, Chu Bai. What's your talent?"
"Ah… As for me, I have a trashy Grade E talent called Excessive Healing. The healing effect is increased by 2%," Chu Bai said.
"That's miserable. Don't worry, once we leave the starter village, I'll protect you. I'm an SS-Grade talent! Sister Qianyue and Sister Qingyu are both SS-grade talents too," Lu Yufan said proudly.
Chu Bai nodded. "Okay."
They walked forward.
An old couple in their 60s or 70s was sitting on a bench in the neighborhood ahead. The two were holding hands and wearing cotton-padded jackets, snuggling up to each other. They had smiles on their faces and looked very loving and sweet.
"How sweet and blissful."
Lu Yufan turned to look at the two of them again.
"Are you envious? Then you should go find a boyfriend. Chu Bai is not bad."
Jiang Qianyue teased with a smile.
Lu Yufan immediately ran over and hooked her arm around Jiang Qianyue's.
"Oh, Sister Qianyue, you're joking again. I hate you, I hate you. This is so embarrassing."
Chu Bai smiled. "It's nothing. It's just a joke. It's okay."
Jiang Qianyue smiled and nodded. "It's indeed very enviable to be able to find a partner to spend the rest of your life with and still be so loving even in your old age. It's really enviable."
'I must find a boyfriend like that and live a happy life with him!' Lu Yufan said to herself.
After that, they left.
The old couple was still cuddling on the bench.
"I really hope time passes slower."
The old man sighed as he held his wife's hand.
"Exactly. It's already eight o'clock. Oh my God, it's already eight o'clock. We have to hurry back," the old lady said quickly and was about to stand up.
"Let's sit a little longer."
The old man stopped her.
The old lady said, "My husband is very suspicious. He'll be suspicious if I come home late."
The old man also quickly let go of her hand. "That's true. I'm afraid that the brat at home will be suspicious if I go back late too. I'm going back now."
They got up and walked away in two different directions.
Chapter 48
Xiang Xiang Hotpot Restaurant.
Chu Bai and the other three walked in.
"Miss Jiang, over here."
Zhang Shan stood up and smiled as he waved at them.
Then, the four of them walked over.
"Uncle!" Lu Yufan greeted him with a smile.
"Uncle," Chu Bai also called out.
"Hey, Chu Bai, don't call me 'Uncle'. I'm only 35 years old. You can just call me Brother Zhang Shan," Zhang Shan said to Chu Bai with a smile.
"Brother Zhang Shan."
Chu Bai also sat down.
Yu Qingyu greeted him calmly, "Brother Zhang Shan."
"I've ordered some food. Take a look and see if there's anything else you want to eat. Order whatever you want."
Zhang Shan smiled as he pushed the menu to Jiang Qianyue.
"I don't need it. Fan Fan, Qingyu, Chu Bai, you guys can order."
He passed the menu to Chu Bai.
"Little Lu." Chu Bai passed the menu to Lu Yufan.
"Chu Bai, you can just call me 'Fan Fan'. My family and friends all call me that," Lu Yufan took the menu and said with a smile.
Chu Bai nodded.
"Brother Zhang Shan, this is the contract." Jiang Qianyue passed the contract to Zhang Shan.
"If there's no problem, then my team will welcome you."
Zhang Shan took it.
"Don't worry, Miss Jiang! I'm definitely fine with it. If I join, I'll be your subordinate. I'll do whatever you tell me to do," Zhang Shan said.
"Well, if there's a mission and I can't go, I'll definitely let you take the lead, Brother Zhang Shan. After all, I understand your experience and know that you have the ability."
"Of course!" Zhang Shan nodded. "I won't let you down!"
Then, he signed the contract.
"Brother Zhang Shan, aren't you going to take a closer look at the contract?" Jiang Qianyue asked.
Zhang Shan waved his hand. "There's no need. I believe in your character."
Chu Bai laughed in his heart.
Zhang Shan might indeed be quite powerful, but he was too naive and trusted others too easily. He was already 35 years old and was not young anymore, but he did not consider the consequences of his actions at all. He would probably suffer a lot from this.
However, it was indeed safe to get along with such a person.
"Hahaha, then we'll be a team from now on! I'll be moving to the studio tonight. Let me toast to you all!"
Zhang Shan stood up and picked up the wine.
He really wanted to join this studio, not for any other reason but solely just because the salary and benefits were much better than other studios!
He was in need of money and a team.
Then, they had a drink together.
"Brother Zhang Shan, you don't have to be in such a hurry to come to my studio. Don't you have a family? You have a wife and children. Are they okay with this?" Jiang Qianyue asked.
Zhang Shan waved his hand. "What problem can they have? It's not like I'm not going home anymore. It's not far away. I'll just go back to take a look every few days. Furthermore, the studio is on holiday."
The four of them looked at each other.
"Ahem, I wasn't talking about that." Jiang Qianyue let out a dry cough.
"Huh? Then what are you referring to?"
"Uhh…" Jiang Qianyue truly did not know what to say.
After all, it was really disrespectful to talk about the affair of others.
Chu Bai said, "Miss Jiang means to say that women need company. Brother Zhang Shan, if you're not home often, she'll inevitably think…"
This hint was obvious enough, right?
"Oh, it's fine. As a man, my career is the most important. My wife is very open-minded. Usually, when I go out late at night to play mahjong, play for a whole day, or even play throughout the night, she doesn't care much. She supports me in having my own interests and hobbies as long as it's not gambling. Besides, my wife doesn't have many needs in that area," Zhang Shan said.
"I see…"
Chu Bai nodded, but he did not say anything.
"But speaking of this, there's something that's been bothering me recently. I'd like to ask you guys for advice."
Zhang Shan lit a cigarette and passed one to Chu Bai, who took it. 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Chu Bai, you smoke?"
Lu Yufan rested her chin on her hand and blinked her beautiful big eyes.
"Yeah, I do occasionally. Why?" Chu Bai asked.
"I'm guessing one of Fan Fan's criteria for a boyfriend is that he doesn't smoke," Yu Qingyu said indifferently. "Maybe you were originally a candidate, but you might have been eliminated."
"Oh, Sister Qingyu, you're so annoying. Why are you joking with me? No, no, that's not it."
Lu Yufan's face turned red.
Chu Bai smiled and did not say anything.
Jiang Qianyue revealed a smile and asked Zhang Shan, "Brother Zhang Shan, what's bothering you?"
Zhang Shan took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Let me tell you a story. Recently, I realized that my wife has been chatting with others on her phone until late at night. She often goes out with her makeup done and is away for a long time. When I ask her about it, she says that she's chatting with her best friends and going out to play."
Chu Bai and the others looked at each other.
This should be obvious enough, right? This man should have figured it out, right?
"And then what?"
Lu Yufan asked, looking like a bystander.
"Yesterday, my wife spent an hour putting on makeup and went out again. This time, I secretly followed her."
Hiss!
They all gasped.
This was so exciting!
Zhang Shan continued, "I followed my wife all the way downstairs. I saw her get into a black SUV. I wanted to chase after her immediately. At that moment, I realized… the tire of my f*cking new bicycle was out of air!"
"So, what is it that you want to ask?" Chu Bai asked.
"I'm quite annoyed at this. I just want to ask you guys if the warranty covers a flat bicycle tire?"
Chu Bai, Yu Qingyu, Lu Yufan, and Jiang Qianyue were all speechless.
"Cough, cough."
Jiang Qianyue let out a dry cough.
"You just wanted to ask this?" Jiang Qianyue asked.
"Yeah! What else could it be? My bicycle costs a few thousand yuan."Zhang Shan nodded.
The few of them looked at each other.
Oh my God!
This?
"Do you know? Is it under warranty?" Zhang Shan asked.
Chu Bai broke into a cold sweat.
'I can only say that I must help him! I have to make him see things clearly this time!'
"Brother Zhang Shan, I have a question for you too," Chu Bai said.
"Sure."
Chu Bai then said, "Recently, I met a woman on Momo. I get along very well with her and often ask her out. Sometimes, she doesn't go home at night and tells her husband that she's out playing mahjong all night. Recently, her husband has been very suspicious of her."
"What then?" Zhang Shan asked curiously.
Chu Bai said, "Yesterday, I drove an off-road vehicle to her house to pick her up. She told me that her husband was secretly following her, so I got out of the car and punctured the tire of his bicycle."
"Hahahaha… Brother Chu Bai, you sure are funny!" Zhang Shan laughed out loud.
Chu Bai smiled and nodded, then continued, "His wife and I left in my car. We were very happy, so we went to the convenience store to buy two drinks to celebrate. After finishing the drinks, I went to get more. But when I went to place an order, the boss wouldn't let me."
"So, what is it that you want to ask me?"
"I just want to ask you what I should do if the boss doesn't let me place another order?" Chu Bai said.
The three girls beside him did not say a word.
Chu Bai's words did not sound pleasant, but he was considered very kind. Zhang Shan should know now, right?
Zhang Shan pondered for a moment.
"Brother Chu Bai, I don't know much about this. Besides, you haven't told me if my bicycle can be fixed under the warranty."
Everyone was speechless.
Chapter 49
After the meal, they went back.
Zhang Shan went to pack his luggage and prepared to move into their building. Jiang Qianyue had rented another apartment, so she naturally could not stay with them.
The four of them were silent on the way.
"Sister Qianyue, why didn't you tell Brother Zhang Shan directly? I think he's a good person, and this is an unfortunate situation for him. Chu Bai has already made it clear to him, but he still doesn't understand. This is too difficult."
Lu Yufan looked like she was going crazy.
Jiang Qianyue then added, "As outsiders, how can we talk to him about such things?"
After a moment of silence, Jiang Qianyue said, "We're considered friends now, right? It should be fine for friends to remind each other about this, right?"
"That's right, that's right. Brother Zhang Shan is so pitiful. His daughter isn't his, and his wife is lying to him. He doesn't even realize that his wife is a bad person even after Chu Bai reminded him. She must be bullying Brother Zhang Shan because she saw that he was an honest man. I can't stand it anymore."
Lu Yufan nodded.
"Why don't we just forget about it?" Yu Qingyu said.
"Sister Qingyu, what's wrong?"
Yu Qingyu said, "Let's not get involved in other people's family matters. Every family has their own difficulties…"
Jiang Qianyue nodded. "Mm, I think so too. Besides, I don't think Brother Zhang Shan really doesn't know. We've already hinted and made it clear. Even if he really didn't know the first time we had a meal together, he definitely knows this time. He's not stupid. How could he not understand what Chu Bai said?"
Chu Bai nodded and said, "I think so too. He didn't say it out loud because he wanted to save face. Besides, we're outsiders. He knows what he should do. Brother Zhang Shan just didn't say it out loud. He was just pretending to be a fool."
Chu Bai did not think that Zhang Shan did not understand. After all, even a fool would understand.
"I understand."
…
Midnight.
[Ding. Welcome to Fate.]
[Ding. Global announcement: due to the enthusiasm of the players, from now on, players can be online 24 hours a day, but please take a rest.]
Whoosh!
The system announcement at midnight immediately drew cheers from the crowd!
"F*ck! I can finally be online 24 hours a day! I'm not as lucky as those big shots, and I'm not as strong as them, but I'll kill you all! Sooner or later, I'll be able to open up a path of blood!"
"Level up, level up! Charge! The level rankings, here I come!"
"God Bai Ye is probably online, right? I feel like he's about to leave the starter village."
"He'll be able to leave the starter village after completing the trial. He'll definitely be the first player to leave the village."
…
Chu Bai was rather calm when he heard the system notification.
He scanned his surroundings.
The number of players exploded.
[Ding. You've obtained a new skill through Unlimited Ultimate Skills-Sudden Strike.]
[Sudden Strike: obtained randomly from Unlimited Ultimate Skills. Choose a target and stab it with 200% speed, causing 150% damage. No cooldown, no consumption. Remaining time: one day.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
"F*ck! I was just about to participate in the trial and you randomly gave me such a weak skill?"
This skill was much weaker than the two skills he had obtained before.
"Forget it, I'll go find the village chief first."
Then, Chu Bai hurried to the village chief's courtyard!
"Brother Bai Ye!"
When the village chief saw Chu Bai, he smiled and waved his hand, then abandoned the other players at the side.
"Come, let's chat in my room." 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝘮
The two of them entered the house.
"Chief, I'm here for the trial to leave the village and also for the big secret you mentioned."
Chu Bai got straight to the point.
"Yes, I know. Let's do it one by one. First, I'll tell you the secret of the village."
Chu Bai nodded.
The village chief then fell into his memories.
"There's a chaos bead in our village."
Chu Bai revealed a shocked expression.
A chaos bead?
He was too familiar with this name! This was something he had to find!
The God Slaying Calamity originated from the seven evils. In addition, it also required three chaos beads, which were the origin of its power.
He never thought that there would be a chaos bead in Starter Village 7777.
"Village chief, are you sure?"
The village chief nodded. "Of course, I'm sure. I'm the only one who knows about this. I'm not sure which of the three chaos beads it is. However, no matter which one it is, as long as anyone can get their hands on it, it'll be a shocking upgrade. After all, it's a legendary divine item."
Chu Bai then asked, "Where's the chaos bead?"
The village chief shook his head. "I don't know. I'm sure that the chaos bead is somewhere in the village. During the War of the Gods, the chaos beads were controlled by the Demon God. To be more precise, the chaos beads were embedded in a sword called the God Slaying Calamity.
"I don't really remember what the God Slaying Calamity looks like. After all, I couldn't get close to the level of their battle, so I couldn't see it clearly. I only remember that it looked like a red-black sword."
Chu Bai was speechless.
" remember hearing about that sword before. It's a sword of unknown origin, and it seems to have existed since the beginning of the world. It's extremely terrifying, and it's one of the most terrifying forces in the world. Even the three goddesses are afraid of it, and it has the power to kill gods."
"This sword has several cores of power. Back then, the Demon God searched all over the world, and it seemed that he only found one-third of them. Even so, it already possesses heaven-defying power, and anyone who touches it will die. The three goddesses and the masters of the four races are no match for it at all.
"In that great war, the continent was divided into five sections. It was because the Demon God was trapped by the gods' great formation formed by the experts of various races. He used the God Slaying Calamity to forcefully break the great formation and split the continent into five."
Chu Bai was speechless.
"After that, the Demon God was defeated by the combined forces. The God Slaying Calamity had nowhere to go, and its power cores were scattered all over the world.
The village chief continued, "At that time, I saw one of the chaos beads and chased after it. The one who chased after it with me was the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor. We managed to catch up to the chaos bead, and after a bloody battle, both of us were severely injured. After that, we were brought into this village by a powerful force.
"I fell unconscious after I entered, but before I fell unconscious, I saw the chaos bead fall, so the chaos bead must be in the village."
"In which direction?" Chu Bai asked.
The village chief shook his head awkwardly. "I was already unconscious at that time. I thought of the chaos bead the first thing when I woke up, but I couldn't tell which direction I was in before I fell unconscious. I only remember that it was very far away from me, and it might even be an unexplored place. After that, I searched for a long time, but I couldn't even find the pit that was created when I fell at such high speeds."
Chu Bai rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, "In other words, I'll have to search for the chaos bead bit by bit."
Now, he was in a hurry to leave the village because the first few players who left the starter village would receive a big reward.
"I can only come back to look for it in the future," Chu Bai said.
"Come back?"
The village chief shook his head. "I don't know how to come back. After you go out, you shouldn't be able to come back again. This is the enchantment and law created by the three goddesses. No one can break it."
Chu Bai frowned.
He could only continue to search aimlessly, then?
"Oh right! Miss Huang from the pharmacy came to the village 15 years ago. You can ask her. Since she could appear in the village, it means that there's indeed a way to get here."
Chu Bai's eyes lit up.
"Right! I'll go find her now. Village Chief, I'll come back immediately for the trial in the starter village."
"Good! Quickly go and come back! To you adventurers from another world, this period of time is very important."
Chu Bai nodded and went to the pharmacy.
Chapter 50
Wu Shi raised his head and looked at Chu Bai.
However, this time, his attitude was very good.
"You're here to see the boss?" Wu Shi asked.
"He's inside. The boss said that if you come, you can just go in directly."
"Thanks."
Then, Chu Bai walked in.
Huang Xin was sitting there and reading a book.
"Miss Shao."
Huang Xin raised her head and looked at Chu Bai with her beautiful eyes.
Every time Chu Bai saw Huang Xin, he could not help but be amazed.
This woman was really too beautiful, and she had a kind of temperament that made her master the ups and downs of life. She was probably a person with an important position outside.
"Hmm, why aren't you going to the trial?" Huang Xin asked.
"I'm here to say goodbye to you. I also have a question to ask."
"Go ahead."
Chu Bai asked, "I want to know the way to return to the starter village. I heard from the village chief that you came here 15 years ago, and the village has existed for 10,000 years. No one can leave, and no one from the outside can enter. You're the only person from the outside world to come here in 10,000 years."
Huang Xin muttered, "The way to return here?"
"You won't be able to come back." She shook her head.
"Why? Didn't you come back from outside?"
Huang Xin said, "To be honest, from what I know, there's no way to return. I was able to come here because of a great battle. I was seriously injured and wanted to escape. At that time, my opponent used some unknown method, causing me to disappear from the Land of Destiny and come here instead.
"If you wish to return, there is a way. But not many people on the continent know about it."
"I see. So, I just need to find the person who hurt you back then to know the way back to the starter village, right?"
"Right!" Huang Xin nodded.
"Who is it?"
"The emperor of the Godfall Empire," Huang Xin said.
"Thank you, Miss Shao." Chu Bai nodded.
"You're welcome. Go and train. The outside world is very exciting, but you have to be careful. That person is very sinister."
"Understood. I'll take my leave, then."
Chu Bai turned around and left.
"Wait," Huang Xin called out to Chu Bai.
She then stood up in a noble and elegant manner.
"If you ever have the chance to come back, I have a presumptuous request."
"Please speak." 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎
"Although I don't know how to get out of here, if you can come back, I hope you can find a way to bring me out. I only have half a year's time."
It was obvious that she wanted to leave this place.
[Ding. You've triggered the only hidden quest in the starter village: help Huang Xin leave the starter village. Quest time limit: half a year. Mission reward: unknown. Mission punishment: none. Do you accept?]
"Alright." Chu Bai nodded.
[Ding. You've successfully accepted the mission.]
"Sorry to trouble you. Take this."
Huang Xin then handed Chu Bai a token.
Chu Bai took it.
[Ding. You've received a recruitment order.]
[Recruitment order. Grade: celestial. This is a recruitment order that belongs to the Godfall Empire. The holder of this order can summon 10,000 golden guards for their use. Usage: one.]
"If you go to the Divine Phoenix Empire, this token might be able to give you some help."
"Thank you, Miss Huang."
"You're welcome. Go ahead. The trial requires quite a lot of potions. Go to the front desk and get some."
"Thank you, Miss Huang. I'll take my leave."
Chu Bai left Huang Xin's place.
Huang Xin looked at Chu Bai's departing figure and muttered to herself, "In my current state, I can only hold on for half a year. Although it's almost impossible, I still believe in this slim chance of survival…"
Chapter 51
Chu Bai returned to the village chief.
He felt that Huang Xin should be an important expert in the Divine Phoenix Empire. If this mission could be completed, Chu Bai would definitely complete it.
He looked at the leaderboard. At Level 19, he was still in first place. The others were all at Level 9, but they were probably close to Level 10 now.
He had to leave the village quickly.
Besides, he could only look at the level rankings in the Hua Nation. What if others from elsewhere had already reached Level 10? There were many foreign experts.
"Village Chief."
"I'm here."
The village chief nodded at Chu Bai.
"Get ready for the trial."
Chu Bai nodded. "Alright!"
The village chief then brought Chu Bai to an empty backyard. With a wave of his hand, a hexagram star array appeared in front of him.
"This six-pointed star array will take you into the Tower of Trials. After you pass the test of the Tower of Trials, you can leave the village. This trial was left behind by the three goddesses. The goal is to find the Son of God of our human race."
"How do I find him?" Chu Bai asked.
"The Tower of Trials is divided into seven levels: red, orange, red, green, cyan, blue, and purple. They correspond to the levels of simple, normal, difficult, extremely difficult, nightmare, hell, and abyss. In theory, the person who enters the abyss-level Tower of Trials and passes it is the Son of God, but this is only in theory.
"Over the past 10,000 years, countless people in our village have wanted to leave the village and go to the Land of Destiny. For us, the only way out is to pass the abyss-level Tower of Trials. There have been countless people who have made the attempt, but no one has ever come out. No one has dared to step into it for a long time. The abyss-level trial makes it impossible for one to come out alive!"
Then, the village head looked at Chu Bai.
"Brother Bai Ye, it's time for you to choose your trial level. Based on my understanding of you, you can choose the green level, which has the difficulty level of nightmare. Although it's dangerous, I think you can pass it."
Chu Bai muttered, "I'm going to the purple abyss level for training."
"The purple abyss level trial is also fine… Wait, what? The abyss-level trial?"
The village chief revealed a shocked expression, then he looked at Chu Bai.
"Brother Bai Ye, you can't do that. No one has ever passed the abyss-level Tower of Trials. You have to think twice before you act."
Chu Bai said, "Village Chief, I've already thought it through. I'll go to the abyss-level Tower of Trials."
From the first game he played, he had chosen the most difficult options. He had occasionally failed, but he always had a chance to revive!
Chu Bai also knew how much he could gain from the most difficult trial!
Many of the reasons he could succeed were that he took risks out of desperation.
Therefore, he would definitely choose the most difficult trial this time!
This was despite no one having ever passed this trial.
"Ah, alright."
The village chief sighed.
He had no right to interfere with Chu Bai's choice.
"Brother Bai Ye, let me remind you again. No one has passed the abyss-level Tower of Trials for the past 10,000 years. It's not just my village. Tens of thousands of people from other villages have also failed. There's no chance of survival. Do you still want to enter?"
Chu Bai nodded. "Let's go in!"
"Good! Then, all I can do is wish you good luck."
After the village chief finished speaking, the six-pointed star array turned purple.
"Good luck."
"Thank you, Village Chief."
Chu Bai stepped into the purple six-pointed star formation.
In the next moment, his figure disappeared.
"I hope you can make a miracle," the village chief muttered to himself. 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢
[Ding. You've arrived at the abyss-level Tower of Trials.]
Chapter 52
Lights came flashing.
Chu Bai's figure was standing in a stone cave.
There was nothing worth paying attention to in the surroundings, only the light pillar.
It should be a teleportation array. After entering it, one would be able to directly enter the first floor of the Tower of Trials.
"Lil Xue'er."
Whoosh!
Lil Xue'er appeared beside Chu Bai, wagging her tail and running around Chu Bai happily.
"It's going to be a difficult battle. Good luck!"
"Wuwuwu…" Lil Xue'er called out.
Then, Chu Bai brought Lil Xue'er and stepped into the pillar of light.
The two of them disappeared.
[Ding. You've arrived at the first floor of the abyss-level trial.]
Chu Bai opened his eyes.
It was a world of green!
He was surrounded by trees.
The area was not big, and there were a few huge flowers that caught Chu Bai's attention.
Each one was about three meters tall. At the top of the stem was a big red flower. This big red flower was very big, probably the size of a person. It hung there.
At this moment, the huge flowers moved.
The initially drooping flowers were raised.
Chu Bai's pupils shrank.
These flowers were indeed monsters!
They were a little terrifying!
The huge flowers looked a little like sunflowers, and in the middle, there were even a pair of huge red eyes on each of them.
What was scary was not their eyes but their huge mouths!
Their bloody mouths were full of sharp teeth. Disgusting mucus was on the teeth, and some of it was even dripping to the ground.
[Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower. Grade: Bronze Boss. Level: 15. HP: 6000. A carnivorous plant-type monster. It moves slowly but is extremely terrifying. It is poisonous and likes to swallow its prey in one bite. (Abyssal monster buff bonus: immune to flying, freezing, dizziness, and control effects).]
[Skill: Vine Whip. It uses its vines to quickly whip targets for a maximum of three seconds, causing multiple damage counts per second and poisoning for five seconds, reducing 100 HP points per second. Cooldown: 20 seconds.]
[Devour: it uses its huge mouth to swallow the target directly into its stomach. Once the target is completely devoured, the target will die. Cooldown time: 30 seconds.]
[Fatal Poison Powder: it releases poison powder to spread in all directions, poisoning all targets touched by the poison powder. At the same time, there is a 5% chance of triggering an instant death effect every second. Duration: 10 seconds. Cooldown time: 10 minutes.]
[Photosynthesis: it chants for two seconds to recover 50% of maximum health after release. Cooldown time: 30 minutes.]
Chu Bai used the God Slaying Calamity.
"As expected of an abyss-level trial."
On the first floor, there were a total of five Level 15 bronze bosses.
Everything else aside, attacking five bronze bosses alone was already extremely difficult for a Level 10 player.
Furthermore, the strength of these bronze bosses was simply ridiculous!
With the abyss-level monster buff, they were immune to control effects, which could directly seal off the players' escape route.
Looking at the Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower's skills, the first skill directly dealt multi-damage counts.
Devour was a skill that could instantly kill a person.
The most ridiculous thing was the Fatal Poison Powder. For ten seconds, there was a 5% chance of instant death every second. After ten seconds, there was a 50% chance of instant death!
This time, he was not dealing with just one Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower wither. There were five of them, and if they each used the skill, that would be a total of 50 seconds… Was the probability of instant death inevitable? Unless Chu Bai was extremely lucky.
Not only that, but each Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower could also recover 50% of its maximum health points…
"Lil Xue'er, find a safe spot."
"Wuwuwu…"
Lil Xue'er directly jumped onto a tree.
"Holy Moment!"
Lil Xue'er released the Holy Moment at Chu Bai.
[Ding. You've been blessed by the divine.]
Chu Bai held the God Slaying Calamity and charged toward the nearest blood-eating flower.
He wanted to kill one of them first.
"Triple Flame Slash."
Swoosh!
-740, -740, -1480!
With an attack of 370, Lil Xue'er's attack power was increased by 100%. Ignoring the defense, the damage was still quite considerable, especially in the third stage, which doubled the damage. The damage directly exceeded 10,00, but unfortunately, it did not trigger the double damage effect of Divine Slaughter.
However…
It could be instantly killed!
The Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower was immune to the flying effect of the third stage of the Triple Flame Slash, but it did not matter.
The Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower immediately threw out several vines at Chu Bai.
Once hit, there would be several waves of damage in an instant.
However, Chu Bai had an amazing skill.
"Blade Waltz!"
He released the waltz, and Chu Bai entered the non-selection state. The vines hit nothing, and Chu Bai turned into a white sword light that pierced through the flower's body.
Swoosh!
-740, -740, -1480!
[Ding. You've triggered the 200% damage effect of Divine Slaughter.]
During this time, the Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower used Photosynthesis. However, Blade Waltz was too fast, dealing five lunging damage per second. The Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower had just chanted its Photosynthesis skill but its health bar was already emptied.
One was instantly killed, and Chu Bai's Blade Waltz returned to its cooldown.
"Blade Waltz."
After that, Chu Bai took advantage of the amplification effect and released the waltz skill at the second closest flower.
-740, -740, -1480, -740, -740!
This Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower's health bar was directly emptied by more than half.
Chu Bai landed on the ground and immediately used an assault skill with unlimited powerful skills.
-1,110!
The second Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower was directly hit by Chu Bai and received 5,550 damage!
Just a little bit more.
Chu Bai did not hesitate at all. He directly withstood the Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower's attack and forcefully slashed out one last time.
-740!
Two were killed in an instant.
-97
A small damage figure appeared above Chu Bai's head.
After all, Chu Bai's defense was as high as 202. However, thinking about it, if his defense was not so high, would he not have lost more than 200 HP points in an instant? 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶
After that, Chu Bai quickly pulled away and used a medium mana recovery potion. The other three Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flowers were already in position.
They surrounded Chu Bai.
Chapter 53
The skill, Sudden Strike, obtained from Unlimited Ultimate Skills was a bit similar to Swordsman's Slash. The damage was 150%. Although it could be used infinitely, it…
Facing the attacks of the three Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flowers, Chu Bai definitely could not use it infinitely.
Whoosh!
After that, Chu Bai charged toward one of the Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flowers.
Vine Whip!
The three flowers sandwiched Chu Bai in the middle and used the skill at the same time.
Countless vines whipped toward Chu Bai, who was in the middle.
"Sudden Strike!"
Whoosh!
Chu Bai rushed to the back of a Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower and left the dangerous area.
As soon as he turned around, he found that the Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower behind him had opened its bloody mouth and was about to bite him.
Chu Bai's pupils shrank.
"F*ck! I was too careless."
He was able to react in time, but his in-game attributes restricted him. He could run, but he could not run as fast as he wanted.
"Wuwuwu…"
At this moment, Lil Xue'er rushed over and kicked the Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower with her little legs, then ran away.
-1!
With this kick, Chu Bai was able to escape.
"Well done!" Chu Bai praised.
"Wuwuwu…"
Lil Xue'er raised her head and called out happily.
However, this Blood-Eating Flower had its eyes on Lil Xue'er now and was chasing after her.
Chu Bai charged forward with his sword in hand.
-740!
As for the other two flowers, one of them was chasing after Chu Bai while the other was trembling and sending out green pollen.
Fatal Poison Powder!
[Ding. You've received the skill of Fatal Poison Powder!]
"Execute it!"
Chu Bai and Lil Xue'er immediately moved to the other side of the battlefield. At least it would take time for the poisonous powder to reach them!
However…
When the Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower used the Fatal Poison Powder, it kept moving, so the poison powder kept falling as it moved.
"Forget it, Lil Xue'er. Light of the Holy Spirit!"
Chu Bai was immune to instant death and poisoning, but Lil Xue'er was not.
Therefore, he could only let Lil Xue'er release the Light of the Holy Spirit.
The light enveloped Chu Bai and Lil Xue'er. This way, Chu Bai would not have to worry about Lil Xue'er.
He recovered 10% of his maximum health points every second. Chu Bai planned to directly deal damage to the Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower.
"Fatal Poison Powder!"
Chu Bai also used this ultimate skill he had obtained.
A large amount of poisonous powder emerged from the top of his head.
The Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower was immune to control, but it was not immune to these effects!
-100, -100!
The Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower that was hit by the poisonous powder would suffer 100 points worth of damage from the top of its head every second.
"Sudden Strike!"
With a sudden attack, Chu Bai rushed over.
In the last two seconds of the 30-second boost from the Holy Moment, Chu Bai dealt three levels of damage.
-1110, -740, -740!
The damage had almost cleared half of the Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower's health bar.
The pollen fell.
[Ding. You're immune to the effects of poisoning.]
Meanwhile, Lil Xue'er was running non-stop. A Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower was chasing her.
"Lil Xue'er, hang in there."
Chu Bai glanced then continued to attack the Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower despite the damage. His attacks rained down like a storm.
Of course, there was still a limit to his attack speed.
-370, -370, -740!
-97, -96, -98, -90!
Within a second, Chu Bai had been whipped four times by the Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower's vines. He had not even hit the Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower four times in a second.
If it were any other player, they would have been killed instantly. However, Chu Bai was immune to all negative effects. He also had Lil Xue'er and her strong defense and attack power. That was why he could fight like this.
When he was about to kill it, the Photosynthesis skill was released.
+3,000
"Motherf*cker! Sudden Strike!
"Sudden Strike!"
-555, -100, -555, -100!
Chu Bai was too lazy to waste his time with these monsters. Although he could slowly wait for them to be poisoned to death, they could still use the Photosynthesis skill. Lil Xue'er was still being chased, so he directly endured the damage!
The main reason Chu Bai could fight like this was that these flowers did not have the ability to kill him instantly.
The two of them were attacking Chu Bai, and Chu Bai took their attacks head-on.
[Ding. The Bloodthirsty Man-eating Flowers have triggered the instant death effect.]
One of them had its health bar emptied out and fell to the ground.
The one that Chu Bai was dealing damage to was also killed by him.
"I'm coming."
Chu Bai charged toward the last Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flower.
"Triple Flame Slash
"Blade Waltz!"
-370, -370, -740, -370
The two skills that were on cooldown previously were released in succession.
The monster only had two-thirds of its health left, so it was instantly killed by the three times double damage of the God Slaying Calamity.
Lil Xue'er stopped and ran to Chu Bai's side. She cast Heavenly Healing on Chu Bai, and Chu Bai's health bar was fully restored.
[Ding. Congratulations, you've passed the first floor of the abyss-level Tower of Trials. All four basic attributes have permanently +5.]
Chu Bai was pleasantly surprised.
A total of 20 attribute points was equivalent to four levels.
It was also because of Lil Xue'er that Chu Bai was able to fight like this. Of course, it was also because of the life potion that made him immune to all negative effects.
It was also because Lil Xue'er's Light of the Holy Spirit had a short cooldown. If the cooldown had been longer, Chu Bai would not have allowed her to use it at any time.
Additionally, Chu Bai and Lil Xue'er were a great counter to the Bloodthirsty Man-Eating Flowers. No matter how bad Chu Bai's attributes were, he could still slowly kill them.
"You don't add experience or drop equipment?" Chu Bai took a look and confirmed it.
"Let's take a break and go to the next floor."
Chu Bai said as he patted Lil Xue'er. He was also recovering his magical power.
However…
They did not give him any time to rest. The two of them disappeared and appeared on the next floor almost immediately.
[Ding. You've entered the second floor of the abyss-level Tower of Trials.]
In front of him was a sea of fire.
The space was still not big.
It was flat, but everything was bare with only a few broken rocks.
Boom!
Suddenly, flames erupted in front of Chu Bai.
Lil Xue'er was shocked and quickly jumped onto Chu Bai's shoulder.
Boom!
Another spot erupted in flames.
"That's too brutal. There's even random fire eruption. I wonder how high the damage is," Chu Bai muttered to himself.
In front of him, a group of monsters was charging toward Chu Bai.
It was a group of huge, flaming, dog-like monsters. Their bodies were fiery red, and they seemed to be wearing black-red armor. They seemed to be very fast.
[Earthfire beast. Grade: Bronze Boss. Level: 20. HP: 11,000. A powerful fire-type monster with quick speed, high attack power, and average defense. Extremely terrifying. Abyss-level monster buff: additional 30% damage.]
[Skills-Flame Strike: charges toward the target and attacks once. The attack deals high damage and has a 100% chance of having a three-second burn effect. Cooldown time: 20 seconds.]
[Burning Heart: fills the body with flames to obtain powerful buffs. Effect: attack increased by 50%, movement speed increased by 50%, and recovers 200 HP every second for ten seconds. Cooldown time: one minute.]
[High-Temperature Hell: creates a high-temperature hell within 20 meters of the user. All enemies within range will have their attack reduced by 30%, movement speed reduced by 30%, and defense reduced by 30%. Furthermore, there's a 100% chance of having a burning effect, and the scorching hell will last for ten seconds. Cooldown time: two minutes.] 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶
[Raging Inferno: turns into a fireball and rushes to opponents. Whether it hits the opponents or the ground, it'll cause an explosion effect within a five-meter range. If it hits, it'll cause great damage and has a 100% chance of a ten-second burning effect. It will deal double damage to the burning opponent. Cooldown time: one minute.]
Chapter 54
On the second floor, there were five Level-20 bronze bosses.
It was ridiculous!
Normally, players who entered the Tower of Trials would only be at Level 10. Not only were there Level-20 monsters here, but they were also all bosses.
Perhaps this was the trial of the abyss level.
The Earthfire beast was an extremely powerful attack-type monster.
The abyss trial's buff for the Earthfire beast was a 30% increase in damage.
The beast's four skills fully displayed its combat and damage.
"Lil Xue'er, protect yourself. I'll go after the monsters," Chu Bai said to Lil Xue'er.
"Wuuu!"
Lil Xue'er nodded.
Monsters had a common mechanism, and that was the one who dealt the most damage to them would be the one they attacked.
Of course, not all monsters had such a mechanism, but Chu Bai believed that the Earthfire beast was a low-level monster, so it should have such a mechanism.
Nothing must happen to Lil Xue'er. As long as she was around, Chu Bai would be relatively safe.
"Triple Flame Slash!"
He still used Triple Flame Slash as his first skill!
The first strike was a vertical sword energy, which directly hit an Earthfire beast.
-380!
The second was the horizontal sword energy.
Three Earthfire beasts were hit.
The third strike was a leap attack. Chu Bai jumped up and smashed down.
-760!
The three Earthfire beasts within range were sent flying.
As for the other two, they charged at Chu Bai from two different directions. He dodged to the side to avoid one of them, but he could not avoid the other one.
-201!
A huge damage value appeared above Chu Bai's head.
If his defense was not high enough, this attack would have dealt nearly 400 damage points.
+201!
Lil Xue'er used Heavenly Healing on Chu Bai.
Chu Bai steadied his body and charged toward the Earthfire beast that was attacking him. He dodged one of the attacks in a 'Z' shape and charged toward the other.
-380!
At this moment, one of the Earthfire beasts turned into flames and charged at Chu Bai at an extremely fast speed.
Big move, raging flames.
[Ding. You've received the ultimate skill, Raging Inferno.]
Chu Bai's attack had just landed, and before he could even react, the Earthfire beast closed in on him with such a powerful move. Even if he wanted to, he could not escape in time, but…
He had an awesome skill!
Blade Waltz!
Boom!
As the loud sound rang out, Chu Bai's position was directly bombarded. Chu Bai used the waltz skill in time, causing him to enter a state where he could not choose to attack. In turn, he would not be attacked either.
Swoosh1
His figure shuttled back and forth five times on one of the Earthfire beasts.
-380, -380, -3,800, -380, -380!
[Ding. You've triggered the 10,00% damage of the God Slaying Calamity.]
One of the attacks directly triggered ten times the damage, and the Earthfire beast's HP bar was instantly reduced by nearly half.
Chu Bai landed on the ground.
"What a pity. If I had Lil Xue'er's boost, I would've been able to kill it in seconds."
Lil Xue'er's Holy Moment was on cooldown.
However…
After landing on the ground, Chu Bai's entire body was engulfed in flames.
"Raging Inferno!"
[Raging Inferno: turns into a fireball and rushes to the opponents. Whether it hits the opponents or the ground, it'll cause an explosion effect within a five-meter range. If hit, it'll cause 200% attack damage and 100% additional burning effect for ten seconds. It'll deal double damage to already burned targets. Cooldown time: none.]
Chu Bai had been waiting to release this skill! The previous Blade Waltz was just to dodge the skill!
Boom!
Chu Bai charged toward an Earthfire beast.
-760!
One of the Earthfire beasts was directly hit.
-150, -150!
Then, it continued to lose HP.
"I'll kill you in seconds!"
Chu Bai used another Raging Inferno and charged over.
The Earthfire beast roared, and its body burst into flames.
The buff skill, Burning Heart, had a ten-second effect and recovered 200 HP per second.
However…
It was currently in a burnt state, which meant that the damage of Chu Bai's Raging Inferno had doubled again!
Boom!
-1,520!
"Again!"
The five monsters were focused on Chu Bai, so Lil Xue'er was safe and able to heal Chu Bai at any time.
Boom!
-3,040!
The double damage from the God Slaying Calamity was triggered again, and the damage instantly exploded.
"Sudden Strike!"
Whoosh!
-760!
As soon as he landed, he immediately used Sudden Strike and instantly killed an Earthfire beast.
There were four more.
These four Earthfire beasts also used Burning Heart to enhance themselves and then charged at Chu Bai from four directions.
They could not be dodged.
In that case…
"Raging Inferno!"
Chu Bai immediately released this move on the spot.
Boom!
-1,520!
All four of them were hit.
However, this skill did not have any knock-off effects.
After it landed, a burning claw clawed at Chu Bai's chest.
-430!
[Ding. You're immune to burn effects.]
Behind him, there was another claw.
-201!
Another claw.
-201!
Chu Bai did not panic at all. The only reason he dared to do such AoE damage was that he had calculated Lil Xue'er's cooldown.
+832!
Chu Bai's blood volume instantly rose to full.
"Again! Sudden Strike!"
Chu Bai chose an Earthfire beast and immediately attacked it from behind.
-760!
The Earthfire beast landed behind Chu Bai and gave him a bite.
-230!
Chu Bai, on the other hand, released Triple Flame Slash.
-760, -760, -1520!
Boom!
Two of them were sent flying by Chu Bai.
After they were sent flying, Chu Bai used another Raging Inferno.
Boom!
There was a loud bang.
-3,040
This triggered double damage from the God Slaying Calamity.
The health of the three monsters was instantly reduced, and they entered a burnt state at the same time.
The four Earthfire beasts also released the skill High-Temperature Hell.
[Ding. You're immune to burn effects.]
[Ding. You're immune to the attribute debuffs.]
To Chu Bai, this skill was useless. 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝗺
Taking advantage of the fact that they were being burned, Chu Bai directly used Flame Strike.
-1,520
"Blade Waltz."
-380, -380, -760
With full damage, he instantly killed one!
Then, the cooldown of Blade Waltz was reset, and he cast it on another low HP monster.
Instant kill!
The third one was killed instantly!
Now, there was only one Earthfire beast left, which had a relatively large amount of HP.
As for the last one, Chu Bai only needed to dodge its attack for a while before he could kill it.
However…
Boom!
A burst of flames suddenly erupted from beneath Chu Bai.
-1,000
The huge damage caused Chu Bai's low health bar to drop to the bottom, and Chu Bai was sent flying.
Chu Bai was shocked.
F*ck! He had forgotten about this.
When the Earthfire beast saw Chu Bai's low HP, it immediately went crazy.
With Raging Inferno, it charged toward Chu Bai.
Chu Bai could not dodge this attack because he had yet to get up after being sent flying.
"Lil Xue'er, you don't need to cast the Light of the Heavenly Fox, just the Light of the Holy Spirit will do!" Chu Bai shouted.
Their hearts were connected, and he knew that at this moment, Lil Xue'er wanted to use her invincible skill, the Light of the Heavenly Fox, to save Chu Bai's life.
However, Chu Bai wanted her to keep it because this skill had a 12-hour cooldown!
Lil Xue'er was anxious, but her first reaction was to listen to Chu Bai's orders.
The Light of the Holy Spirit was released, and 10% of the maximum health points would be recovered in the first second.
+177!
Chu Bai instantly used a small health potion and a medium health potion.
+100, +200!
Chu Bai's HP instantly rose to 597.
It would not be able to kill him in seconds now!
-577!
A huge damage value appeared above Chu Bai's head.
+177!
Chu Bai had already stood up and put some distance between them.
Both potions had a five-second cooldown, and he could recover 10% of his maximum health points every second. He only needed to stall for time and be careful not to be hit by the flames.
Five seconds later, it was Chu Bai's time to counter-attack. This time, he was no longer careless.
Lil Xue'er's Heavenly Healing had also finished its cooldown.
+885!
His health bar was full.
In the end, Chu Bai finished off the last Earthfire beast with the help of the sharp Blade Waltz.
[Ding. Congratulations, you've passed the abyss-level Tower of Trials' second floor. All four basic attributes +5.]
He took a deep breath and quickly went to the rock where Lil Xue'er was!
This rock was unaffected by the Earthfire beasts.
Lil Xue'er immediately pounced into Chu Bai's arms and rubbed against him. It was obvious that she was extremely worried.
"My problem is that I forgot about the flames erupting from the ground. Don't worry, I won't be careless in the future."
Chu Bai rubbed her.
Lil Xue'er nodded.
Chu Bai had indeed been careless. He was clearly facing such a difficult trial, yet he was still careless. He had to be 120% vigilant.
As expected, they were not given time to rest and adjust. Chu Bai had only just gained one mana point when he entered the third floor with Lil Xue'er.
[Ding. You've entered the third floor of the Tower of Trials.]
Chapter 55
Chu Bai opened his eyes.
It was a world of ice and snow.
[Ding. The current temperature is cold. You can't keep warm enough, so your HP has dropped.]
-30, -30, -30
Chu Bai's head was losing blood.
He was losing 30 HP every second, and so was Lil Xue'er.
This kind of state was not considered a negative effect. It was not freezing as Chu Bai was immune to freezing. This kind of effect was similar to being very cold, so it caused some harm to the human body. It was an environmental effect. After all, Chu Bai entered with his body, and his body was that of an ordinary person.
It was truly cold.
"30 HP in one second, 300 HP in ten seconds. This is bad. I'll have to finish this level as soon as possible."
Although he had Lil Xue'er and he still had health potions, there were still monsters he had to defeat. He had to minimize the damage he got from the monsters on this floor.
The key was to see what kind of monster it was.
Chu Bai took a step, and then… he almost slipped.
"F*ck! How am I supposed to fight?"
He needed special anti-slip shoes. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚
The first and second floors were basically not challenges that other players could pass alive. Luckily, Chu Bai had Unlimited Ultimate Skills, Lil Xue'er, and the Water of Life. These three were indispensable. Without them, Chu Bai might not be able to pass the first two floors.
The third floor was even more brutal. It directly affected Chu Bai's environment.
Chu Bai tried to take a few steps. It was okay.
However, it was really easy to fall if one were to run.
In front of him, a few huge figures broke out of the ice.
There were five huge figures.
Each of them was at least five meters tall.
They were like giants formed from ice crystals. They were human-shaped and had red eyes. They looked very strong, but there was nothing special about them.
[Ice Giant. Level: 15. Grade: Gray-Silver Boss. HP: 16,000. Born in a cold space, its movements are relatively slow, but its attack and defense are extremely strong. Abyssal-level monster buff bonus: defense increased by 100%.]
[Skills-Icicle Sting: condenses five icicles and shoots them at an extremely fast speed at the target. Each icicle will deal damage and has a 50% chance of freezing the target for three seconds and a 50% chance of causing frostbite for five seconds. Cooldown time: 20 seconds.]
[Mystic Ice Protection: charges up power for one second to release the powerful Mystic Ice Protection. Attack power +100%, defense +300%, movement speed -100%, and lasts for 15 seconds. Cooldown time: one minute.]
[Chaotic Frostburst: chooses a 20-meter range to cast Chaotic Frostburst. Target will receive damage every second, target's movement speed will be reduced by 50%, and target will enter a frozen state. At the same time, there's a 10% chance of being frozen for three seconds every second. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
It was ridiculous.
The monsters on this floor had a 100% defense buff. As monsters with high defense, the ice crystal giants' defense was already very high. If their defense was doubled, even a Level-15 Silver-Grade Boss would not be able to break through their defense.
There was also the skill, Dark Ice Barrier, which had a one-minute cooldown and a duration of 15 seconds.
The surrounding environment also made him lose 30 HP every second.
It was clear that the purpose of this floor was to exhaust the challengers to death.
Even if he had Lil Xue'er, he would probably be exhausted to death. After all, Lil Xue'er's mana would also be depleted.
However…
The God-Slaying Calamity ignored defense! Even if the ice giant's defense was 10,000,000, it would still be ignored.
However, from here, one could see just how tough the abyss-level of the Tower of Trials was.
If Chu Bai did not have the God Slaying Calamity, he would have died of exhaustion here, not to mention the other players.
"Lil Xue'er, as usual, you just need to find a place to hide and heal me."
Lil Xue'er nodded.
As long as Lil Xue'er was within the skill's range, it would be fine.
Then, Chu Bai charged toward the five ice giants with 16,000 HP.
There was only one purpose for him to rush over, and that was to attract aggro.
This floor was very simple. Chu Bai only needed to force one of them to use its ultimate move, and then Chu Bai would be able to kill them from far away.
"Sudden Strike!"
Whoosh!
-390!
"Sudden Strike!"
-390!
After five consecutive attacks, Chu Bai successfully pulled the aggro of the five ice giants.
The ice giants swung their huge arms at Chu Bai, but Chu Bai dodged them nimbly.
Their movements were relatively slow! However, once Chu Bai was hit, the damage should be higher than the Earthfire beasts' damage bonus.
In the next instant, icicles formed in front of the five ice giants' chests!
This was Icicle Sting!
One Ice Giant would throw out five icicles, so a total of 25 icicles were thrown!
With Chu Bai's current movement speed and mobility, there was no way he could dodge all of them.
However…
Whoosh!
When the icicles shot over from multiple directions, Chu Bai immediately released Blade Waltz.
This skill was simply too useful. In addition to dealing damage, it could also force a state where he could not attack or be attacked. It could even avoid many fatal skills. Was this skill not a bit similar to invincibility?
However, it only lasted for one second.
Chu Bai landed on the ground. There were no more icicles.
"Lil Xue'er, release Holy Moment," Chu Bai called out.
Lil Xue'er's body burst out with white light. At the same time, Chu Bai's body also glowed with white light.
[Ding. You've been blessed by the Holy Moment.]
"Triple Flame Slash!"
Chu Bai only attacked one of the ice giants because his goal was clear. He only needed to reduce the boss' health so that it would release its ultimate skill.
Although these monsters would amplify their moves as they fought, they would definitely use their ultimate skills if their HP was still high.
-1,560, -1,560, -6,240!
"F*ck!"
Chu Bai was shocked by the damage he dealt.
Then, he saw the damage number. It was a bold weak-point attack.
The ice giant's weakness was fire, so the damage was doubled. Chu Bai's damage of 390 points immediately rose to 780 points. Lil Xue'er's Holy Moment's damage was doubled to 1,560. The third part of the attack doubled it further to 3,120, and the third part happened to trigger the double damage of God Slaying Calamity.
It directly exploded!
The ice giant was clearly shocked by the damage.
It immediately released Mystic Ice Protection.
However, no matter how it protected its body, it was useless against Chu Bai.
Then, Chaotic Frostburst was charging up!
After it finished charging, the area under Chu Bai's feet was filled with Chaotic Frostburst.
[Ding. You've received the skill, Chaotic Frostburst.]
[Ding. You're immune to speed reduction effects.]
[Ding. You're immune to frostbite.]
-307, -307!
A huge amount of damage appeared above Chu Bai's head. Two seconds later, he managed to escape from Chaotic Frostburst.
"Lil Xue'er!"
Lil Xue'er understood him very well. She immediately released Heavenly Healing and the Light of the Holy Spirit on Chu Bai.
His HP was full.
[Chaotic Frostburst: an ultimate skill from of the Ice Giants. It'll cast chaotic frost burst in a 20-meter radius. The target will receive damage equal to their own magic attack power every second. During this period, movement speed will be reduced by 50%, and they'll enter a frozen state. At the same time, there's a 10% chance of freezing the target for three seconds every second. Cooldown time: none.]
"F*ck! This is a little awkward."
This damage was equivalent to his magic attack power. Chu Bai's magic attack power was only 140, so the efficiency of killing monsters was probably not high, but he won in terms of endurance and a large area.
"Forget it, I can kill it anyway. It's my turn."
Chu Bai looked at the five ice giants.
"Chaotic Frostburst!"
Chu Bai extended his hand and prepared a powerful move.
The five ice giants that were running over were immediately surrounded by Chaotic Frostburst.
However, these monsters seemed to only be affected by the speed reduction effect, and neither frost nor ice damage was effective.
-140, -140, -140!
Chu Bai kept releasing Chaotic Frostburst, preventing them from breaking free of the speed reduction.
"Lil Xue'er, let's distance ourselves."
Chu Bai and Lil Xue'er healed themselves while distancing themselves from these monsters. They relied on Chaotic Frostburst to slowly grind them to death.
Although Chu Bai and Lil Xue'er were losing HP, they could still hold on.
Chu Bai could take advantage of this time to recover, and Lil Xue'er could also recover some mana.
Lil Xue'er's method of recovering her magical power was too slow, so Chu Bai gave her magical power recovery potions.
[Ding. Congratulations, you've passed the third floor of the abyss-level trial. All four basic attributes +5.]
Then, there was a flash of light, and Chu Bai and Lil Xue'er were brought to the fourth level.
[Ding. You've arrived at the fourth floor of the abyss-level Tower of Trials.]
Chapter 56
The fourth floor.
The moment Chu Bai landed, he felt his hair stand on end.
As expected, other than his fine hair, the hair on his head also stood up.
"Wuwuwu…"
Little Xue'er's hair was also standing up, making her very unhappy. She kept wiping it away.
"Lightning?"
Chu Bai sensed that the entire space was filled with static.
However…
It was still alright.
It did not seem to be like the second and third floors, where the environment could affect him. He was not losing any HP, nor did he feel any numbing effects.
"It's still alright. If there's a certain percentage of paralysis every second, that would be too ridiculous," Chu Bai muttered.
Losing HP was already the limit. If there was still a chance of being paralyzed every second, then this abyss trial would be too terrifying.
[Ding. You're immune to paralyzing effects.]
A system notification sounded in Chu Bai's mind.
Chu Bai was speechless.
He was stunned on the spot!
What the f*ck?
Was this not too exaggerated?
This environment really had a chance of paralyzing people?
He had only entered for ten seconds and he was already paralyzed. This probability…
Chu Bai looked again and saw that Lil Xue'er was also paralyzed and could not move.
Chu Bai was speechless.
There was a 10% chance of paralysis every second.
Was the fourth floor not a little too exaggerated?
"It's only the fourth floor?" Chu Bai muttered to himself.
This terrifying effect was already too exaggerated. Chu Bai could not imagine anything more exaggerated than this.
"Fortunately, I have the life potions. Otherwise, I would've died. No human can survive an abyss-level trial. No wonder there have been no survivors. The effects of the first three floors and this floor are not something that humans can survive," Chu Bai muttered to himself.
Lil Xue'er returned to normal.
"Wuuu."
She called out to Chu Bai. Chu Bai could sense her emotions. She was a little flustered and worried about Chu Bai.
"Don't worry, there's no damage. I'll continue to pull aggro," Chu Bai said to Lil Xue'er.
Lil Xue'er nodded.
Up ahead, three monsters appeared in Chu Bai's line of sight.
They were three monsters that were golden and white in color.
They looked like tigers and lions, but they had golden wings on both sides of their bodies that allowed them to fly.
"Flying monsters?"
Chu Bai had a headache.
As a melee class, what could he use to fight flying monsters?
He could not jump that high even if he wanted to, unless…
These monsters' ultimate skill was long-range. If that was not it, Chu Bai might have to use the Blazing Fire Pearl to deal with these three monsters.
However, the Blazing Fire Pearl would also be difficult to deal with. Four blazing fire pearls, each dealing 10,000 fixed damage! He had no idea what level these three monsters were at.
[Aurora Thunderbolt beast. Level: 15. Grade: Yellow-Gold Boss. HP: 40,000. A powerful creature that uses the power of lightning. For some special reason, they evolved a pair of wings made from light, allowing them to fly at a relatively high speed. If they're running, their speed will be extremely fast! Extremely high attack power, and extremely high agility. Abyss-level monster buff bonus: immune to all control effects.]
[Skills-Criss-Cross Lightning: gathers powerful lightning and releases it from the left and right. After hitting the enemy, it'll cause damage with a 10% chance of three seconds of paralysis. The final lightning will cross. If it hits the target after crossing, it'll cause 300% damage with a 100% chance of three seconds of paralysis. Cooldown time: 20 seconds.]
[Overload: uses lightning to enhance the entire body, increasing all attributes by 100% for 15 seconds. Cooldown time: three minutes.]
[Thunder Prison: charges for one second after landing. Instantly forms a thunder prison after choosing an area, trapping the target in it. Deals high damage every second and has a 100% chance of paralyzing the target for three seconds. The Thunder Prison lasts for three seconds. Cooldown time: three minutes.]
[Lightning Transformation: charges up for 0.5 seconds, and the following damage will be converted into pure lightning attacks, increasing attack power by five times. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
This was f*cking ridiculous!
There were three Level-15 yellow-gold bosses, and they had a very high chance of paralyzing their targets. On top of that, there was a chance of paralyzing someone every second in this place. How could a normal person survive?
"I really owe Miss Huang a favor now," Chu Bai muttered to himself.
If it was not for her elixir of life, Chu Bai definitely would not be able to continue.
Perhaps all of this was fate, just like the name of the game-Fate.
However…
"I'm doomed! The ultimate move isn't a long-range attack."
Chu Bai frowned.
"Let's see if they're easy to fight first. Lil Xue'er, release your Holy Moment. I'll pull the monsters in. You hide."
With that, Chu Bai charged toward the three gold bosses with the God Slaying Calamity in hand.
Roar!
They let out angry roars and charged toward Chu Bai.
Two of them rushed over, and the other one immediately charged up Criss-Cross Lightning.
Slash!
The sound of something cutting through the air could be heard. Two bolts of lightning charged toward Chu Bai in a criss-cross formation.
As for the two other monsters that charged over, they swiped their claws at Chu Bai one after the other.
[Ding. You're immune to paralyzing effects.] 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Chu Bai's speed did not slow down. He bent his body slightly and then dodged the one at the front with a 'Z' shake. He then rushed toward the second one.
-800!
A damage value appeared above the Aurora Thunderbolt beast's head.
The Criss-Cross Lightning arrived, and Chu Bai used the opportunity to use Blade Waltz.
The bolt of lightning passed through Chu Bai's body, and Chu Bai slashed at the Aurora Thunderbolt beast five times.
-800, -1,600, -1,600, -800, -8,000!
His luck was pretty good. Out of the five attacks, two of them triggered the double damage of God Slaying Calamity, and one of them caused ten times the damage.
His HP bar of 40,000 dropped by a third.
"Triple Flame Slash!"
Swoosh!
However…
All three moves missed.
He could not hit them at all!
Roar!
An Aurora Thunderbolt beast roared in anger. Its body was surrounded by lightning. A cage made of golden lightning appeared beside Chu Bai, trapping him in an instant.
Whoosh!
Chu Bai charged out forcefully.
-590!
[Ding. You're immune to paralyzing effects.]
+590!
Lil Xue'er immediately filled Chu Bai's health bar back to full.
"No!"
Chu Bai frowned after he rushed out.
There were no long-range attacks, and the three monsters all had the skill Thunder Prison. This skill was not easy to dodge. If they used Overload or their ultimate skill, Lightning Transformation, to enhance it, Chu Bai might be killed in an instant.
"I won't drag it out too much."
Chu Bai's body slowly rose in flames.
He had to forcefully complete this floor. Even though he was reluctant to use his big move, he had no other choice.
Two of them were already releasing Overload. He could not drag it out.
"Double Phoenix Flight!"
Caw!
Chu Bai summoned two phoenix phantoms.
[Double Phoenix Flight. A magic attack that summons two phoenix phantoms. Each phoenix phantom can release feather impact for three seconds, ten feathers per second. Each feather impact causes damage equal to mana. Mana consumption: 500. Cooldown time: two days.]
With his current 950 mana, he could kill them instantly.
After that, the two phoenixes released their fiery-red feathers and quickly attacked an Aurora Thunderbolt beast with a full HP bar.
-950, -950, -950!
There were a total of 60 of them, and the total damage was as high as 57,000.
The speed of the feathers was extremely fast. In just a second, all 60 of them landed on one. Chu Bai did not even have time to control the remaining feathers to attack another beast.
In an instant…
With one less monster, Chu Bai felt less pressure.
He then turned his attention to the Aurora Thunderbolt beast that had lost nearly one-third of its HP.
Chapter 57
Chu Bai took out two flame beads.
He was reluctant to use them as he wanted to use them on the monsters that might be on the next floor.
However, he was forced to use them on this floor.
Boom!
-20,000!
"It must be instant."
Chu Bai then activated the Heavenly Demon Armor's skill, Heavenly Demon Protection, and charged forward.
[Heavenly Demon Protector: releases the demonic energy within the Heavenly Demon Armor to protect the body. Demonic energy will surround the body for ten seconds and can block a total of 500 damage. When activated, defense will increase by 20%. When the duration ends or the shield is broken, it'll enter cooldown. Cooldown time: three minutes.]
Before the Aurora Thunderbolt beasts could fly up from the explosion of the flame bead, Chu Bai had already charged over with Sudden Strike.
-1,200!
These monsters were immune to controls, so Chu Bai could not let them fly.
However, Chu Bai could not stop them from flying!
"F*ck!"
Chu Bai gritted his teeth and threw out another flame bead.
-10,000
Two were killed.
There was still the last full HP Aurora Thunderbolt beast.
If there was only one, Chu Bai would not have to worry.
He would not use the last flame bead and the first move of the Ode of the Phoenix-Wind Dancing in the Sky.
Roar!
The Aurora Thunderbolt beast roared in anger, and lightning crackled around its body.
Overload!
Then, it charged toward Chu Bai at an extremely fast speed.
Chu Bai dodged to the right and dodged the attack. The God Slaying Calamity then slashed at the demon beast's stomach.
-800!
Lil Xue'er's boost was about to end.
Lil Xue'er stood not far away and watched Chu Bai's battle nervously. From time to time, she would be paralyzed for three seconds.
She had no combat power at the moment and could only heal Chu Bai.
-400!
-590!
Another attack. It was too fast for Chu Bai to dodge.
A huge damage value appeared above his head.
If his defense was not high, the damage from this attack would have been close to 800.
A Level-15 yellow-gold boss was really something!
The key was that the bosses in the Tower of Trials were much stronger than the ones outside.
Chu Bai was Level 19.
Another Thunder Prison was released. Even though there was time to charge, it was an instant cast, and Chu Bai could not dodge it.
-1,097!
Chu Bai's health bar was almost empty.
+935
Lil Xue'er used Heavenly Healing to bring Chu Bai's health bar to a safe level.
Chu Bai heaved a long sigh of relief!
That was because normally, this Thunder Pison would definitely hit. He had received such high damage because the Aurora Thunderbolt beast had an overload bonus. However, if it had used its ultimate skill, Lightning Transformation, which deals five times the damage, then Chu Bai would have been instantly killed!
Now, the Thunder Prison was on a three-minute cooldown, so Chu Bai did not have to worry about being killed instantly.
"Blade Waltz!"
-400, -400, -800, -400, -400!
The damage was not high, but the monster did not have any healing skills.
Time slowly passed.
Chu Bai was draining its HP bit by bit.
With Lil Xue'er around, Chu Bai would not die.
"The three minutes are almost up. I have to trick him into using his ultimate skill. Otherwise, if it uses Lightning Transformation and Thunder Prison, I'll be killed instantly," Chu Bai muttered as he held the God Slaying Calamity?
How?
He could only forcefully deal damage.
The Aurora Thunderbolt beast charged at Chu Bai from the sky.
Chu Bai did not move.
Lil Xue'er added Holy moment to Chu Bai, making him even more agile.
Whoosh!
The moment it charged over, Chu Bai jumped onto its body.
"This is a good opportunity!"
Then, Chu Bai held the God Slaying Calamity and stabbed it repeatedly.
-800, -800, -800!
The Aurora Thunderbolt beast continued to fly, trying to shake Chu Bai off.
Chu Bai was shaken off and fell to the ground.
-59!
He had not used his big move yet.
Chu Bai frowned.
The three minutes were almost up.
Could it be that the Aurora Thunderbolt beast was waiting for the Thunder Prison to cool down before using its ultimate skill?
At that moment, the Aurora Thunderbolt beast let out an angry roar and slashed out with its lightning sword.
[Ding. You've obtained the ultimate skill, Lightning Transformation.]
[Lightning Transformation: the power will be changed to lightning attacks, and the damage will be increased by five times.]
Chu Bai did not use this ultimate skill because there was only one. This ultimate skill could be used on the next floor if he did not use it now. After using it, he could not use it for ten seconds after leaving the battle.
Even if he used it, he would not have enough damage output to instakill it.
"Five seconds to three minutes."
Chu Bai had always kept that in mind.
In other words, even after the Thunder Prison's cooldown was over, the Lightning Transformation would still be on cooldown.
The Aurora Thunderbolt beast charged toward Chu Bai with terrifying speed and strength.
Chu Bai held his sword and took a deep breath.
He was fully focused and could not afford to be careless.
Whoosh!
Chu Bai dodged the attack from the sky with a 'Z', then quickly turned around.
"Triple Flame Slash!"
-800, -800, -800!
These monsters were immune to the knock-up effect. After it ended, Chu Bai could only pull back.
Without the boost from Overload, even though the damage was explosive, its speed was not particularly exaggerated. Chu Bai could still dodge it.
The attack missed, and the Aurora Thunderbolt beast shot up to a height of nearly 15 meters.
In the air, Chu Bai had no way to deal with it.
After that…
It was forming the Thunder Prison!
What should Chu Bai do?
At a height of 15 meters, Chu Bai's Blade Waltz skill could not hit it.
At that moment, he was having a mental storm!
Lil Xue'er's invincibility?
No need!
He would give it a try himself.
Lil Xue'er did not receive Chu Bai's order. She was very anxious and wanted to release her skills to protect her master.
The Heavenly Demon Armor's Heavenly Demon Protection was immediately released after its cooldown was over.
It could block 500 damage, and at the same time, its defense had increased by 20%. Even if the Aurora Thunderbolt beast's damage increased by five times, it should not be able to kill him instantly, but it was still hard to say.
However, this was just Chu Bai's last resort to be on the safe side. His real goal was to avoid the skill.
Whoosh!
Chu Bai's speed instantly increased.
[Haste: releases the power of Flaming Battle Boots. Effect: increases movement speed by 50% and leaves a trail of flames in the path of movement. All enemies touched by the flames will receive 100 damage for 10 seconds. Cooldown time: two minutes.]
This was the Flaming Battle Boots' supplementary skill.
With the help of his increased speed, Chu Bai charged toward a rock in front of him.
With the first jump, he landed on the rock. With the second jump, he jumped up from the stone.
A height of five meters was enough!
"Blade Waltz!"
Whoosh!
Chu Bai's figure disappeared.
The moment he disappeared, the Thunder Prison appeared where he was mere seconds ago.
-800, -800, -800, -80,000!
[Ding. You've triggered Divine Slaughter, dealing 10,000% of the damage.]
The 0.1% chance of dealing 100 times the damage was successfully triggered, clearing the monster's health bar.
[Ding. You've successfully cleared the abyss-level Tower of Trials' fourth floor. All four basic attributes +5.]
Chu Bai landed on the ground!
He heaved a long sigh of relief.
Lil Xue'er ran to Chu Bai's side and rubbed her head against Chu Bai's legs.
Chu Bai knelt down and stroked her gently.
"That was too dangerous. Fortunately, the distance was enough, or else you would have wasted your invincibility skill. Once your invincibility skill is wasted, I don't think there's any possibility of clearing the trial."
With a 12-hour cooldown, Chu Bai had a feeling that the invincibility skill, Light of the Heavenly Fox, would be very useful on the last floor.
He quickly recovered his mana and gave Lil Xue'er some mana potions to recover.
Whoosh!
The light flashed.
The two of them disappeared again.
[Ding. You've arrived on the fifth floor of the abyss-level Tower of Trials.]
Chapter 58
The fifth floor…
This should be the last floor, right?
Chu Bai heaved a sigh of relief and opened his eyes with Lil Xue'er.
In front of them, in a small space, a boss shook its body, then stared at them with red eyes and roared.
It was a black-red tiger-like monster! 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝙢
It was more than five meters tall, with blood-red eyes, two sharp spikes on its forehead, and thick limbs.
[Black-Blooded Combat Tiger. Level: 20. Grade: Yellow-Gold Boss. HP: 80,000. A fearsome existence with a powerful combat bloodline. Its speed, defense, and attack are extremely powerful. It's the lord of the region. Abyss-level monster buff bonus: all attacks have a 10% chance to trigger instant death.]
[Skills-Beast King's Flash: teleports behind a target and attacks, doubling the damage. Cooldown time: 20 seconds.]
[Beast King's Roar: with a roar, all targets within ten meters of the user will be sent flying and dealt great damage. Cooldown time: one minute.]
[Hundred Beast Soul-Crushing: with a roar, all targets, will have their attributes reduced by 50% (except for HP) and defense reduced by 100%. This lasts for 30 seconds. Cooldown time: three minutes.]
[Flying Tiger Soul Reaper: locks onto a target, teleports in front of the target, and quickly causes five damage points in 0.5 seconds. Once hit, the target will enter a one-second stun. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
Chu Bai frowned.
"This should be the last floor."
After all, this monster was a lord.
Moreover, these attributes and skills were simply ridiculous.
"It's unfortunate that my Lightning Transformation is useless?"
Chu Bai laughed.
This floor was simple!
"Lil Xue'er, retreat."
Chu Bai did not hesitate to bring Lil Xue'er and distance himself from the Black-Blooded Combat Tiger. As he did so, he used his Lightning Transformation skill.
[Ding. You've used Lightning Transformation. Your damage is increased by five times, and your attacks will become lightning damage.]
After charging for 0.5 seconds, Chu Bai paused for a moment. His body was surrounded by lightning.
Then, he continued to run.
"Let's go!"
Roar!
The Black-Blooded Combat Tiger roared in anger and used the Hundred Beast Soul-Crushing skill.
[Ding. You're immune to the attribute debuffs.]
At Chu Bai's signal, Lil Xue'er also used the Light of the Holy Spirit. She was also immune to this attribute-reducing effect.
One chased, while the other ran.
The distance between them increased slightly.
[Ding. You've used Lightning Transformation. Your damage has been increased by five times.]
Another 0.5 seconds of charging.
This time, the Black-Blooded Combat Tiger had caught up.
A claw smacked toward Chu Bai.
Chu Bai dodged to the side and attacked it in passing, continuing his battle mode.
Then, he ran away.
He still needed another boost! This way, the damage would be instant.
That was right!
Why did Chu Bai insist on keeping this skill?
This was because the skill's description did not specify that the effects could not be stacked!
It did not say that the effects could not be stacked, which meant that they could!
The facts proved that it was indeed possible!
If it had only been cast two times and Lil Xue'er still had her Holy Moment, the monster could have been instantly killed. However, Lil Xue'er's Holy Moment's cooldown was not over yet!
"Triple Flame Slash!"
Chu Bai released it as he ran.
The first and second slashes were sent out.
The Beast King's Flash.
The Black-Blooded Combat Tiger appeared behind Chu Bai.
"Just nice!"
The third slash!
It was sent flying!
"Lightning Transformation!"
[Ding. You've used Lightning Transformation. Your damage will be increased by five times.]
He had already used three buffs.
"Blade Waltz!"
-51,250,-51,250!
The explosion damage directly emerged from the top of the Black-Blooded Combat Tiger's head!
Instant kill!
If an attack of 410 was multiplied five times, it would be 2,050. If it was multiplied another five times, it would be 10,250. If it was multiplied another five times, it would be 51,250.
If he only used it twice, the Blade Waltz would deal 10,000 damage each time. If he used it five times and did not trigger the double effect, he would only deal 50,000 damage. Chu Bai would be in danger after that.
It was better to release it once more and instantly kill it.
"Phew! Clear!"
Chu Bai heaved a long sigh of relief.
It was very mentally tiring, but fortunately, he had the ultimate move that he had obtained before, so he passed the last floor with ease.
Lil Xue'er called out happily.
[Ding. Congratulations, you've passed the abyss-level Tower of Trials' fifth floor. All four basic attributes +10.]
"What?"
Chu Bai was stunned!
"This boss isn't the last floor?"
Chu Bai frowned and stood still.
It was a Level-20 yellow-gold boss with 80,000 HP and a deadly skill. In theory, only a Level-10 player would be able to enter. This was such a high-difficulty floor, but this was not the last floor?
Just then, Chu Bai and Lil Xue'er disappeared from where they were.
[Ding. You've arrived at the abyss-level Tower of Trials ' final trial.]
The system notification came.
Chu Bai was speechless.
Something f*cking big had happened.
Fortunately, he was not confident enough to let Lil Xue'er use her invincible Light of the Heavenly Fox.
He also had his ultimate move, Wind Dancing in the Sky, as well as a flame bead.
Chu Bai scanned his surroundings vigilantly.
This was a very flat area with nothing but three stone pillars that were a few meters tall.
One would not even see the small stone.
There was a monster sleeping in a corner ahead.
Only one boss?
"Could it be a Level-30 yellow-gold boss?"
After all, the floor before was a Level-20 yellow-gold boss.
Chu Bai released his detection skill.
[Seven Evils-Gluttony. Level: 20. Grade: Dark Demon. HP: 500,000. It was originally a mysterious power. Because it was too powerful, it could transform into a beast that could swallow everything. It was as if there was endless space in its body. 10,000 years ago, the three goddesses discovered the existence of Gluttony and sent it to Starter Village 7777. It was then placed in the abyss-level Tower of Trials as the ultimate boss. Over the years, Gluttony's power has been continuously devoured, and its power is now less than 1/10000 of its previous power. Abyss-level monster buff bonus: immune to lightning attribute attacks, immune to instant death effect.]
[Passive skills-Gluttony: it can devour all energy and will not suffer any damage.]
[Misfortune: curses a target. For the next five minutes, all of the target's attacks will not hit. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
[Darkness Stems From the Heart: curses a target, causing all of their attributes (excluding HP) to decrease by 50%. It'll last for one minute. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
[Endless Devour: opens its bloody mouth and releases a powerful suction force, devouring the enemy into its mouth. Lasts for ten seconds, causing instant death. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
[Different Paths to the Same Destination: reduces its own HP and chooses a target to lose the same amount of HP. Cooldown time: ten minutes.]
[Seven Evils-Gluttony: chooses a target, and if the target's level is lower than the user's, the target will be devoured regardless of grade or level. Cooldown time: 15 days.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
Chapter 59
Chu Bai was stunned.
Gluttony!
The Seven Evils-Gluttony!
One of the sources of the God Slaying Calamity's power was actually in the abyss-level Tower of Trials' final trial!
Chu Bai was pleasantly surprised.
However…
Level-20 Dark Demon, 500,000 HP…
Chu Bai had 2,020 HP now, so he should be… He would not be instantly killed, right?
Including passive skills, it had a total of six skills.
Its passive skill was that its mouth could devour all power without causing any damage.
In other words, if Chu Bai had any long-range attacks, it could just swallow them directly!
Luckily, Chu Bai was immune to Misfortune and Darkness Stems From the Heart.
Endless Devour would devour him into its stomach and cause instant death!
Different Paths to the Same Destination… If it took the initiative to sacrifice its HP, the target would also lose the same amount!
Was this not also an instakill skill?
The last skill, f*ck! Another instakill skill?
How could they fight this?
Was this an impossible battle?
"No matter if we can do it or not, we have to at least try."
Chu Bai clenched the God Slaying Calamity in his hand.
Fate had brought him to meet Gluttony, so he naturally had to compete with it.
Moreover, Chu Bai was no longer upset that he had used Lightning Transformation because this boss was immune to lightning attacks. Lightning Transformation would turn all attacks into lightning-type damage.
Gluttony was still lying there.
"If I accidentally trigger the 10,00 times damage of Divine Slaughter, I can almost kill it in seconds!"
Chu Bai suddenly realized that it was not impossible to fight this monster!
He would drag it out bit by bit, dragging out this 0.01% chance! Because what if?
What if it could be defeated?
Chu Bai walked over while it was sleeping.
Lil Xue'er ran not far away.
Then, white light emerged from her and Chu Bai's bodies.
It was Holy Moment.
A sneak attack!
"Triple Flame Slash!"
-860, -860, -1,720!
Each floor increased four basic attributes, and Chu Bai's attack was now 430.
Roar!
Gluttony roared in anger as it was attacked. However, it was still in a flying state.
"Blade Waltz!"
-860, -860, -1720, -1720, -860!
The two skills triggered the 200% damage of Divine Slaughter three times.
It lost 9,460 HP out of 500,000? It was close to 10,000 HP. This battle could be fought!
That was 1/50 of it.
Gluttony stood up and pounced at Chu Bai.
The height and distance of this jump were outrageous.
Chu Bai jumped back. Gluttony landed where Chu Bai had been, and its claw missed.
"Sudden Strike!"
Whoosh!
Chu Bai suddenly appeared behind Gluttony.
-1,290!
"Swordsman's Slash!"
-1,032!
Gluttony turned around and swiped at Chu Bai with its claws.
Chu Bai wanted to dodge, but his agility could not keep up, and his chest received some of the impact.
-1,011!
A huge amount of damage instantly emptied half of Chu Bai's health bar.
"Lil Xue'er!"
Lil Xue'er cried out and released Heavenly Healing.
+1,011.
His HP was full.
Chu Bai then released Haste and took a look at the amount of mana recovery potions he had.
He still had 13 small bottles and 16 medium bottles.
"I'm afraid it'll be difficult."
However, Chu Bai would not let go of any opportunity to attack Gluttony, because he still wanted to trigger the 10,00 times damage.
"Sudden Strike!"
Chu Bai, who was running away, suddenly charged over again.
-1,290!
However, a Dark Demon monster was truly a Dark Demon monster. Its reaction speed and speed made it difficult for Chu Bai to fight like he did with normal monsters.
After the sudden attack, Gluttony seemed to know the effect of Chu Bai's skill. It immediately turned around and bit Chu Bai's arm.
"Heavenly Demon Protection."
Chu Bai also reacted quickly and released the skill of the Heavenly Demon Armor.
-449!
The shield blocked 500 points of damage, and his defense increased by 20%, allowing Chu Bai to take less damage.
"No!"
It was difficult for him to attack this monster effectively, so he could only find an opportunity!
This was an extremely long battle!
He had to be on full alert.
He could not try to forcefully deal damage, so he could only attack bit by bit through the difficult gaps.
Even if Chu Bai obtained this boss' ultimate skill, it would be useless. He was at Level 19, while Gluttony was at Level 20.
With Lil Xue'er's Holy Moment, Chu Bai was able to maintain his speed and get closer to Gluttony.
The effect of the Holy Moment was about to end.
"I can't even run?"
Chu Bai focused his attention on the three stone pillars.
Lil Xue'er was standing on one of them.
Behind him, Gluttony leaped up and tried to hit Chu Bai.
Chu Bai immediately hid behind a stone pillar!
In this place, without the destruction attribute, these buildings were invincible!
Bang!
Gluttony crashed into the stone pillar. Chu Bai, who was behind the stone pillar, quickly extended his God Slaying Calamity and stabbed Gluttony.
-860!
Chu Bai's eyes lit up.
He seemed to have found a way to deal with Gluttony.
Roar!
Gluttony stood up and shook its head, which was hurting from the collision, before it gave chase again.
Chu Bai was running around the three pillars.
This running method seemed to disgust Gluttony, as black light burst out from its body.
The skill, Darkness From the Heart, was released.
[Ding. You're immune to the attribute debuffs.]
Chu Bai focused all his attention on the battle.
He had to ensure that he lost as little HP as possible and not be attacked. He had to find any opportunity to attack Gluttony!
Otherwise, he would eventually die if this continued!
Lil Xue'er would run out of mana sooner or later.
When Gluttony saw that it could not do anything to Chu Bai anytime soon, it was furious.
Roar!
Gluttony roared and jumped to the top of a stone pillar, where it saw Lil Xue'er.
Lil Xue'er then ran away.
Her mission was to protect herself and replenish Chu Bai's HP. She did not need to fight.
Gluttony did not seem to care about Lil Xue'er as it opened its mouth.
When it opened its mouth, it was quite scary.
Apart from its sharp teeth and mucus, its jaw was far too wide!
"Lil Xue'er, go and hide behind a stone pillar," Chu Bai called out to Lil Xue'er.
Lil Xue'er naturally understood.
Chu Bai was there to attract the attention of Gluttony.
Gluttony's skill, Endless Devour, was released.
A suction force that could be seen with the naked eye rushed into its mouth, and Gluttony's target was Chu Bai.
In the first instant, Chu Bai's right foot was within the range of the suction.
At that moment, he felt a pair of hands pulling his ankle in one direction.
Fortunately, only one of his feet was within the range of the suction force, and he managed to break free.
"Haste!"
Activating Haste, Chu Bai's speed increased as he ran around the space.
Meanwhile, Gluttony turned its head and aimed its mouth at Chu Bai. 𝘣𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Lil Xue'er watched nervously.
One had to know that Gluttony was very smart. When it saw the direction Chu Bai was running in, it immediately aimed its mouth at Chu Bai's next step.
Before Chu Bai's feet even touched the ground, he felt weightless.
Chu Bai's pupils shrank!
F*ck!
He had been hit!
Chu Bai was quickly sucked in and approached Gluttony's mouth in the air.
Entering the mouth meant death.
Chapter 60
Naturally, Chu Bai would not just wait for death.
Lil Xue'er wanted to give Chu Bai the Light of the Heavenly Fox.
In that case, even if Chu Bai was sucked in, he would not die. He might not even be sucked in according to the system's restrictions!
However, their hearts were connected, and Lil Xue'er could probably sense what Chu Bai was thinking.
Just as Chu Bai was about to be sucked in…
Blade Waltz!
One could only say that the ten-meter range of the waltz and the non-selection effect were too powerful.
Chu Bai loved this skill a lot.
Chu Bai disappeared immediately after the release of the Blade Waltz, turning the situation around and dealing five levels of damage to Gluttony.
-430, -430, -860, -430, -430!
[Ding. You've triggered the 200% damage effect of Divine Slaughter.]
He could still deal more than 20,00 damage!
In fact, the damage was quite considerable, even though it did not seem to hurt the boss with 500,000 HP!
Chu Bai only hated himself for not bringing enough magic recovery potions.
After the skill ended, Chu Bai dodged behind Gluttony and stabbed it.
After that, he kicked it down.
Gluttony was using Endless Devour, and he could not fight back.
After landing, this skill was interrupted by Chu Bai.
In the next five minutes, he did not have to worry about the skill Endless Devour. Chu Bai definitely could not use Blade Waltz as a skill to deal damage. He had to use this skill as a way to save his life.
There was also Seven Evils-Gluttony. These two skills had the ability to kill Chu Bai in an instant!
His confidence came from Lil Xue'er's invincibility and resurrection skills.
However, no matter which one it was, he would not use it if he could.
Once the skills were released, he did not know what would happen after that, and his chances of survival would be reduced.
Chu Bai continued to fight the monster.
He was extremely focused.
Finally, Gluttony could not take it anymore.
It let out an angry roar, and a black light shot up into the sky, charging toward Chu Bai!
"This should be Different Paths to the Same Destination."
Chu Bai frowned.
-10,000!
Gluttony lost 10,000 HP.
However, this skill was a force that charged toward Chu Bai. Even though it was extremely fast…
Since it was such a model, it should be possible …
He dodged!
"Blade Waltz!"
Swoosh!
As expected, Chu Bai dodged it.
Gluttony's eyes were filled with confusion.
How did this person dodge it?
Chu Bai landed on the ground.
Bang!
Then, he was struck by Gluttony's claw.
Gluttony was too smart. Due to Chu Bai's previous attacks, he even knew where Chu Bai's skills would land. After seeing Chu Bai use his skills, he immediately looked for Chu Bai's landing points.
Chu Bai, who had just landed, did not teleport, so he could not avoid it.
-1,011!
A huge amount of damage caused Chu Bai's HP bar to drop by half again.
+1,011!
Lil Xue'er filled up Chu Bai's blood volume.
It was then that Gluttony finally noticed Lil Xue'er's presence.
Roar!
It roared and ignored Chu Bai. It targeted Lil Xue'er instead.
Obviously, it was too smart. It knew that if it wanted to kill the human in front of it, it had to get rid of this little fox.
"Lil Xue'er!"
Chu Bai was shocked.
What he was worried about had happened.
Gluttony had turned its attention to Lil Xue'er.
Did Chu Bai have any ideas?
He had no other choice.
He could only put Lil Xue'er into the pet space, but that would require the pet to be out of battle and still for more than five seconds.
In the current situation, Chu Bai could not even take her back.
Lil Xue'er ran away.
Gluttony chased after her.
"Lil Xue'er, Holy moment."
"Wuwuwu…"
Following that, Lil Xue'er and Chu Bai's speed doubled.
"Triple Flame Slash!"
Chu Bai chased after Gluttony as he released his skills.
-860, -860, -1720!
Gluttony was sent flying.
After being sent flying, Chu Bai immediately launched three consecutive attacks.
This time, it dealt 6,000 damage.
Gluttony shook its head as it got up. It glanced at Chu Bai before chasing after Lil Xue'er.
Chu Bai caught up to Gluttony and poked its butt with the God Slaying Calamity.
-860, -860!
Roar!
Gluttony was furious.
It cast Darkness Stems From the Heart at Lil Xue'er, but…
Lil Xue'er used the Light of the Holy Spirit to dispel the effect.
Gluttony was obviously dumbfounded.
Why was its powerful skill useless against the two of them?
Then, it jumped onto a stone pillar, locked onto Lil Xue'er's position, and jumped down.
This jump was more than 20 meters.
"Lil Xue'er!"
Chu Bai was shocked.
-1,233!
More than one-third of Lil Xue'er's 3,400 HP bar was emptied.
She screamed and rolled on the ground.
After rolling, she got up and quickly ran away.
Gluttony roared at the sky.
A black light gushed out from his and Lil Xue'er's bodies at the same time.
Chu Bai's pupils shrank!
This was…
Seven Evils-Gluttony?
It was a skill that could forcefully lock onto the target and could not be avoided! This was the only skill it had left.
[Ding. You've obtained the ultimate skill, Seven Evils-Gluttony.]
This bastard actually used this ultimate move to lock onto Lil Xue'er?
"Lil Xue'er, Light of the Heavenly Fox!" Chu Bai shouted.
"Wuwuwu…"
Then, the two of them were enveloped by a golden light.
[Ding, you've been blessed by the Light of the Heavenly Fox. You'll be invincible for three seconds.]
Lil Xue'er's mana had also dropped below half after using this skill, leaving her with less than 15,000 mana. After all, she had been using her skills all this time.
"Lil Xue'er, come back!"
Chu Bai had to take advantage of the Light of the Heavenly Fox to get Lil Xue'er back!
"Wuwuwu…"
Lil Xue'er stood still. Gluttony's claws were blocked by the golden light and could not be moved.
Chu Bai took advantage of his invincibility, and his attacks landed on Gluttony like a storm.
-430, -860, -430!
He just could not deal 10,00 times the damage!
"Lil Xue'er, continue to use the Light of the Heavenly Fox for two more seconds."
He needed two more seconds of the Light of the Heavenly Fox to be invincible for five more seconds before Chu Bai could take her back.
If he did not take her back this time, he might not have the chance anymore!
Moreover, Lil Xue'er did not have enough mana.
Lil Xue'er continued to use the Light of the Heavenly Fox for another two seconds, and her mana was reduced by another 10,000.
Then, she turned into a white light and entered the pet space!
"It's just you and me."
Chu Bai held the God Slaying Calamity and looked at Gluttony. Its eyes were filled with determination and battle intent.
Lil Xue'er had already done enough.
From now on, Chu Bai only needed to be on guard against its attacks-Endless Devour and Different Paths to the Same Destination. Its most powerful skill had already entered the 15-day cooldown.
The real battle with full concentration began now.
He needed to be more focused than before!
Whoosh!
Chu Bai used Sudden Strike and charged forward.
Gluttony once again found Chu Bai's landing spot and struck with its claws.
"I've already guessed it." 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Then, Chu Bai immediately released Swordsman's Slash, hitting Gluttony and causing it to miss. He then returned to his original position.
"Let me see if you can endure it longer than I can!"
Chu Bai's eyes were bloodshot.
Chapter 61
Three hours later.
Chu Bai had been fighting Gluttony for three hours!
In these three hours, Chu Bai had only been attacked once.
He gave up on the Triple Flame Slash skill because he wanted to save his mana for Blade Waltz.
He mainly used Sudden Strike and normal attacks.
Meanwhile, Gluttony's HP had dropped to 360,000.
There really were not many opportunities to attack it.
Its attributes were too strong.
Chu Bai could not even bear to use Wind Dancing in the Sky. 500 mana points were too much!
He would not use it unless it could kill Gluttony in one shot!
With Lil Xue'er's buffs, his 430 attack power was now 860. When he released Wind Dancing in the Sky, he could deal 25,800 damage. There was also the Blazing Fire Pearl, which dealt 10,000 damage!
In other words, if he still had mana, he could instantly deal 40,000 damage! After all, there was still Blade Waltz.
"No! I probably don't have enough mana anymore. I don't have many mana recovery potions left either! I can only use Blade Waltz's dodging skill, so my burst damage is theoretically 10,000 of Blazing Fire Pearls."
Chu Bai stood there.
Chu Bai's hair and clothes were drenched in sweat, and he was gasping for air.
Sweat dripped down.
Fatigue!
Endless exhaustion.
Gluttony released Endless Devour again, and Chu Bai dodged it continuously.
He took a look at the items in his backpack. There was indeed nothing that could be used.
Wait a minute…
The Flower of Death…
The little red flower was lying in the interspatial ring.
This was a flower that Little Cutie had given him to thank him.
In fact, this flower was highly toxic.
One would lose blood if one ate it.
However…
"It's no use. Gluttony's passive skill makes it immune to damage."
Chu Bai sighed.
Moreover, this thing probably could not deal much damage, right?
"I'll just give it to you, then."
Chu Bai threw out the Flower of Death, and Gluttony sucked it into its stomach.
Chu Bai was hiding behind a stone pillar to avoid the suction force.
Luckily, there were three pillars and they were invincible. Otherwise, Chu Bai would have been sucked into Gluttony's stomach too.
-10, -10, -10!
"What?"
Chu Bai suddenly realized that Gluttony was losing HP.
"Flower of Death?"
He was stunned.
Was it not said that Gluttony was immune to the things it swallowed into its stomach? Could it be that Gluttony was not immune to this flower?
However, what was the use of losing ten HP in a second?
Losing 100 HP in ten seconds?
After Endless Devour ended, the two started to chase each other again. Chu Bai took every opportunity to widen the distance.
Ten minutes later.
-10, -10!
"What? Is it still losing HP?"
Chu Bai was shocked.
It had been dropping for ten minutes!
For the past ten minutes, Gluttony had been losing 10 HP per second, which meant that it had lost 6,000 HP.
Chu Bai's hope was reignited.
Could it be that it would fall for a long time?
…
An hour passed.
Two hours passed.
…
Five hours passed.
…
Seven hours passed.
Chu Bai had already reached his limit in these seven hours. He was completely relying on his own will to deal with this boss!
In the past seven hours, Gluttony had lost seven hours' worth of HP, which was ten points per second!
That was 10,000 HP in 16.7 minutes!
In just seven hours, it had lost more than 250,000 HP!
Including the damage from Chu Bai, Gluttony only had 90,000 HP left!
However, in the past seven hours, he really did not manage to attack Gluttony many times. He was in such a bad state that it would be good enough if he could keep dodging Gluttony's attacks!
Chu Bai's attacks had dealt close to 70,000 damage, and one of them had even triggered a 100 times damage that dealt more than 40,000 damage!
Drip!
Chu Bai's sweat was dripping. He was panting heavily.
His vision turned white, and his head was a little dizzy.
He stood there, his body swaying and his eyes bloodshot.
Chu Bai shook his head hard to clear his mind.
"Again!"
His eyes were red as he stared at Gluttony. It was practically roaring.
…
At that moment, a large number of players from the various starter villages in the outside world had already reached Level 10. They had also entered the Tower of Trials to undergo their trials.
"That's weird. God Bai Ye has already been in the Tower of Trials for almost ten hours, but he still hasn't left the starter village?" 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Many players were discussing it.
About ten hours ago, a player posted that Chu Bai had already entered the trial and that he would be the first to leave the starter village.
However, so much time had passed, and he still had not come out.
"This is really strange. He still hasn't finished? Does the Tower of Trials take so long? It shouldn't be, right?"
"F*ck! Maybe God Bai Ye won't be the first one to leave the starter village. Now, not only our warzone, but many people from other major warzones have also entered the Tower of Trials. What's going on with God Bai Ye?"
"No, his level didn't drop. He's still Level 19. Is he stuck?"
"Your *ss!"
…
Feng Ling had also reached Level 10!
He found the village chief and directly entered the Tower of Trials.
It only took him ten minutes to pass the first floor.
"Bai Ye! Why is it taking you so long? It should be very fast. I passed the first floor in ten minutes.
"In this case, I might even be the first one to leave the starter village!"
Many people were also puzzled.
…
An hour later.
Gluttony's HP had dropped to 50,000!
The bleeding effect of the Flower of Death was still ongoing.
Chu Bai was truly stunned.
However, he was not in the mood to be shocked.
[Ding. Your hunger has dropped by 30 points, and all attributes have been reduced by 50%.]
There was nothing to eat.
Plop!
Chu Bai's body lost all strength and fell down.
The moment he fell, he immediately sobered up and quickly got back up.
It was impossible for him to be immune to this kind of attribute reduction.
Whoosh!
Gluttony pounced at him.
-1,521!
Chu Bai's health bar dropped by more than half.
Chu Bai dodged after being attacked and then attacked Gluttony.
-215!
"Can't you just trigger a 1,000 times damage?"
Chu Bai screamed out loud with his consciousness.
To be honest, he could not hold on anymore.
[Ding. Lil Xue'er is requesting to leave the pet space.]
[Ding. Lil Xue'er is requesting to leave the pet space.]
…
Chu Bai gritted his teeth.
A resurrection spell?
However, even if he was resurrected, could he still fight in his current hungry state?
They had already fought to this point…
Chu Bai gritted his teeth!
"I agree!"
Whoosh!
Lil Xue'er landed not far away.
"Wuwuwu…"
Then, Lil Xue'er released the Holy Moment, Heavenly Healing, and the Light of the Holy Spirit.
Chu Bai's attack had reached 430.
Chu Bai's eyes narrowed as he clenched his God Slaying Calamity!
"I'd like to see who will fall first!"
The veins on Chu Bai's hand, which was holding God Slaying Calamity, were popping.
At the same time, Gluttony released Different Paths to the Same Destination.
"Blade Waltz!"
Chu Bai's last 100 mana points were used to avoid Different Paths to the Same Destination.
He might be defeated!
However, it was not over yet. His health bar had not been emptied, and it was filled up by Lil Xue'er again!
It was hard to say!
-430, -430, -430, -430, -860!
After landing, Chu Bai activated Haste and quickly pulled away!
If he hadn't activated Haste, he would not be fast enough!
[Ding. If your hunger is lower than 20, all attributes will be reduced by 60%.]
Chu Bai's attributes dropped again, and his speed dropped. Gluttony caught up to him and slapped his back.
-1,619!
His HP, which had almost recovered to full, was reduced by half again.
He could not run!
He could not run at all!
"Lil Xue'er, revive!"
Chu Bai called out to Lil Xue'er.
"Wuwuwu…"
Lil Xue'er cried out, and a ray of light with half of its wings fell into Chu Bai's body.
[Ding. You've been blessed with Resurrection."
[Ding. Because Lil Xue'er used the resurrection spell, her level has been reduced by five levels.]
Chu Bai turned around with red eyes!
The resurrection spell could last for seven seconds. As long as he died within seven seconds, he would be able to resurrect with full health!
What was he afraid of?
Whoosh!
Chu Bai forcefully endured Gluttony's attacks and slashed at him.
-344!
Chu Bai turned his head and dodged the first attack.
-344!
-1,509!
[Ding. You're dead.]
Chu Bai's health bar was emptied.
[Ding. You've been resurrected.]
+2,022!
Chu Bai was resurrected on the spot with full health and mana!
"Go to hell! Triple Flame Slash!"
Swoosh!
Gluttony was sent flying!
Then, Chu Bai attacked madly.
-344, -344, -344, -688!
-1,519!
Chu Bai's health dropped by more than half again.
-344!
The moment Gluttony's claw slammed down…
"Blade Waltz!"
-344, -344, -688, -344, -344!
After landing, Chu Bai only had a few hundred HP left. He would definitely be killed in an instant if he was touched!
As for Gluttony's HP…
43,900!
Was he going to die?
Was he going to lose?
Chu Bai gritted his teeth!
He watched as Gluttony's claws came down.
"Ah…"
"Die!" Chu Bai roared and released his attack.
-51,600!
[Ding. You've triggered Divine Slaughter, dealing 10,000% of the damage.]
At this moment, his attack power was 344, and he dealt 100 times the normal damage. The sudden attack dealt 150% of the total damage, which was 51,600!
Gluttony's health bar was emptied.
Before it could slap down, its claws slowly fell down, and its body also fell powerlessly.
Plop!
Chu Bai knelt on the ground powerlessly, gasping for air. He did not even have the strength to lift his head.
"Hehe… Hehehe…"
He laughed with difficulty, then raised his head and looked ahead.
Plop!
Then, Chu Bai lay on the ground.
He… He won.
Chapter 62
The system's notifications rang out like crazy.
[Ding. Congratulations on defeating Seven Evils-Gluttony.]
[Ding. Congratulations on clearing the abyss-level Tower of Trials. All four basic attributes +20.]
[Ding. Congratulations on passing the abyss-level Tower of Trials and earning the title 'The Son of Destiny'. You have received the destiny epaulet.]
[Ding. You've reached Level 20, HP +10, Mana +10, and obtained five attribute points that can be freely allocated.]
[Ding. You've reached Level 21, HP +10, Mana +10, and obtained five attribute points that can be freely allocated.]
[Ding. Lil Xue'er has leveled up to Level 16…]
[Ding. Lil Xue'er has leveled up to Level 17.]
…
[Ding. Lil Xue'er has leveled up to Level 21.]
[Ding. Congratulations on your first kill of the dark demon beast. You've earned gold +1,000, fame +100,000.]
[Ding. As you have obtained the first kill of the dark demon beast, the system will now announce it to the world. Do you wish to hide your ID?]
There was no response.
Chu Bai was so tired that he could not even open his mouth.
He was almost unconscious and could not hear the system notifications clearly.
[Ding. As you have achieved the first kill of the dark demon beast, the system will now announce it to the world. Do you wish to hide your ID?]
The system notification rang out again.
There was still no response.
[Ding. As there's no response from player Bai Ye, the system will announce it 30 times, and the ID will be emphasized.]
Then, a system notification came.
[Ding. This is an announcement: attention all players around the world, player Bai Ye has achieved the first kill of a dark demon boss!]
[Ding…]
…
[Ding. This is an announcement: attention all players around the world, player Bai Ye has achieved the first kill of a dark demon boss!]
Everyone was speechless.
"Where is he? Wasn't he in the Tower of Trials? Could it be that he didn't enter? Or…"
"F*ck! What the hell? God Bai Ye killed a dark demon boss? It's not a normal dark demon monster, but a dark demon boss?"
"What the f*ck? That's impossible, right? There are dark demon beasts in the Tower of Trials? That's a trial for Level 10 players. One person needs to solo fight all the monsters inside. We're all players from a starter village, so how can there be dark demon beasts in a solo fight? At the very most, it should be a yellow-gold boss, right?"
"Soloing a yellow-gold boss is already ridiculous enough! What difficulty level did God Bai Ye choose in the Tower of Trials? The abyss level?"
"How is that possible? It's probably the hell-level difficulty, right? Didn't they say that the abyss-level difficulty would only result in certain death?"
"It should be the hell-level difficulty! F*ck! There are dark demon beasts in the hell-level difficulty? No wonder it's said that it's impossible to pass the abyss level."
…
[Ding. Lil Xue'er has become a Level 9 pet.]
[Ding. Because Lil Xue'er has enough strength, skills Holy Light Shining Strike and Holy Light Glint have been activated.]
[Holy Light Shining Strike: Lil Xue'er's exclusive skill. Gathers the power of holy light in her body and attacks the target instantly. Effect: deals two times magic attack power damage to the target. During this period, the target is in an invincible state. Mana consumption: 200. Cooldown time: 30 seconds.]
[Holy Light Glint: Lil Xue'er's exclusive skill. Releases the power of holy light to stun the target. Effect: with the user as the center, all enemies within 20 meters will be stunned for two seconds, regardless of level and grade. Mana consumption: 3,000. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
Chu Bai lay on the ground for a long time.
Lil Xue'er came over and rubbed against Chu Bai's face. She stuck out her little tongue and licked Chu Bai gently.
Chu Bai opened his eyes.
He heaved a long sigh of relief and hugged Lil Xue'er.
"I'm fine."
Chu Bai squeezed out a smile.
"Wuwuwu…"
Lil Xue'er called out happily.
Chu Bai stood up.
He looked at Gluttony's corpse and walked over.
At that moment, Gluttony's body was wrapped in a green light, and Chu Bai's God Slaying Calamity was trembling.
Gluttony was one of the sources of power of the God Slaying Calamity. The God Slaying Calamity trembled, probably because it felt that it could absorb power.
Then, Chu Bai raised the God Slaying Calamity and touched the green light.
Whoosh!
The green light poured directly into the God Slaying Calamity. 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
[Ding. Seven Evils-Gluttony returns to its origins in the God Slaying Calamity.]
[Ding. The God Slaying Calamity has been upgraded to celestial grade. Its attributes have been increased.]
[Ding. As Gluttony has returned to its origin, the skill, Catastrophe-Gluttony, has been activated.]
Chu Bai took a look at the God Slaying Calamity's new skill.
[Catastrophe-Gluttony: Seven Evils-Origin of Gluttony has been activated. Effect: choose a target within 20 meters. If the target's level is lower than the user's, the target's right to live will be forcibly taken away, and there is a 100% chance of death. Mana consumption: 1,000. Cooldown time: seven days.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
"Sure enough, it's the same as that monster's ultimate skill."
Chu Bai had originally guessed that this might be the effect, but he did not expect it to be true!
This was because he found it hard to believe that players could have such a powerful skill. However, when he thought about it, this was the God Slaying Calamity, after all, so it was really possible.
The effects of Catastrophe-Gluttony would become more and more terrifying as Chu Bai's level increased!
If he reached Level 100 one day, he would be able to kill a Level 99 forbidden boss with hundreds of billions of HP!
It was terrifying!
Just from this skill, one could see how terrifying the God Slaying Calamity was. No wonder the village chief said that the demon god had only obtained one-third of the power source of the God Slaying Calamity and he was already overwhelmed by power.
Chu Bai took a look at the attributes of the God-Slaying Calamity.
[God's Bane. Grade: Celestial. Master: Bai Ye. Usage level: 0. Usage requirements: only Bai Ye himself can wield it, can't be discarded, traded, or dropped. A mysterious godly weapon that appeared out of nowhere. This godly weapon landed on the Land of Fate and was sealed here as if it was waiting for someone to appear. This is a weapon of disaster, and it uses the origin of the seven evils and the three chaos beads as its core. Current status: incomplete.]
[Attributes: luck +10, comprehension +10, charm +10, four main attributes +10, attack power +300.]
The increase was only from +100 attack power to +300. In theory, this was not a celestial equipment, as the attributes of celestial equipment were not that low!
However, it was still fine. The subsequent improvements would probably be huge. After all, the effects of this weapon were obvious.
Following this, Chu Bai took a look at the title he had obtained.
[Son of Destiny: a title obtained from clearing the abyss-level Tower of Trials. It has an extraordinary and unique meaning. Effect: your luck is maxed out, and the drop rate of monsters killed is 100%. This effect can only be activated with the destiny epaulet.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
Lucky?
This drop rate was very important, but Chu Bai knew that if one's luck was high, it could even trigger a series of unimaginable special effects! This was something that could not be attained through other measures.
Luck itself was an illusory existence. It could not be truly determined! Even if he was lucky, he did not know what would happen.
For example, the critical hit attribute in the game!
For example, if one had a 50% critical chance, in theory, one would get a critical hit once out of every two attacks. However, this did not mean that the first attack would not have a critical hit and the second attack would definitely be a critical hit!
Even if one only had a 1% critical chance in theory, one could still drop it several times in a row.
However, the thing he was most concerned about now was…
Would this maximum luck be effective on Divine Slaughter?
Chapter 63
Chu Bai decided not to consider these for the time being.
He would think about it once he was outside.
He put on the white-gold destiny epaulet on his chest.
[Destiny epaulet: only those who have passed the abyss-level Tower of Trials can obtain it. After wearing it, in addition to being respected, all expenses will be reduced by 50%, and there is a possibility of obtaining other effects.]
"It's not bad."
At this moment, a system notification came.
[Ding. As you've reached Level 20, the third move of the Ode of the Phoenix, Phoenix Possession, has been activated.]
[Phoenix Possession: the third move of Ode of the Phoenix. Releases Phoenix Possession, receiving fixed damage. Effect: after chanting for one second, you'll receive the blessing of the phoenix's strength. For the next 15 seconds, your movement speed will be increased by 500%. Every attack will deal 5,000 fixed damage and a second burn effect. Mana consumption: 500. Cooldown time: two days.]
"If I had obtained this skill before I came here, I wouldn't have been so tired from fighting Gluttony."
Chu Bai sighed.
He then turned his attention to the equipment dropped by Gluttony!
A dark demon weapon and a gold weapon.
There were a bunch of other things too.
[Blade of Brutality. Grade: Gold. Usage requirement: it has not been appraised and can't be used.]
[Gluttony Armor. Grade: Dark Demon. Usage requirement: it has not been appraised and can't be used.]
Chu Bai kept the equipment.
Then, he saw a skill book.
[Ruling Strike Skill Book. Usage requirement: swordsman, assassin. You can get the skill, Ruling Strike, after using it.]
Chu Bai crushed it without any hesitation.
[Ding. You've received the skill, Ruling Strike.]
[Ruling Strike: a joint skill between a swordsman and assassin, it's a powerful instant stab type skill. Effect: lunges forward in a straight line up to a maximum of ten meters. The lunge will be completed in 0.1 seconds. The first unit that it hits during this period will be dealt damage equivalent to attack power and be stunned for two seconds. Cooldown time: 30 seconds.]
F *ck!
Chu Bai was stunned when he saw the skill!
There was no lack of crowd control skills in any game!
However, crowd control skills, especially those that made people unable to move or attack, were considered to be more advanced than speed reduction, magic suppression, and knock-up skills. Even if they were knocked-up, in theory, it was possible to adapt in the air.
Once the stun effect hit the target, the target would be unable to resist for two seconds.
Therefore, in theory, control skills like stun either had a long cooldown or a short stun duration!
The two-second stun and 30-second cooldown were ridiculous.
In addition to Holy Light Glint that Lil Xue'er had obtained, Chu Bai now had the crowd control skills that he had been lacking.
"Tokens?"
Chu Bai saw a pile of recovery potions and a few tokens.
"So many of them?"
Chu Bai picked up one first.
[Guild building order: can be used to build a guild. This is the first guild building order in the entire server. Usage: one.]
"It's actually a guild building order."
The guild building order only dropped from yellow-gold bosses and above. The drop rate was extremely low!
Only with the guild building order could a guild be established.
This was something that all the players were desperately trying to find in the early stages of the game!
After all, a guild would be bigger if it was established first. Moreover, the earlier a guild was established, the more guild rewards it would receive.
Chu Bai kept it.
Then, he looked at the other two tokens.
[Warzone prohibition: after use, all players in a warzone can't leave the starter village for a day.]
Both were warzone prohibition tokens.
"What's the use of this?"
Chu Bai casually threw them into his spatial ring.
In the end, Chu Bai found something that was emitting light in the pile of gold coins and medicine bottles.
Chu Bai held it in his hand.
He could not tell what it was, but it looked like a stone.
[Reincarnation. Grade: Sacred Seal. It's one of the seven ultimate hidden items in Fate. It possesses unimaginable power and seems to be a key to someplace. However, no one knows how to use it. It is very mysterious.]
"It's an ultimate hidden item again."
This was the second one Chu Bai had encountered.
The first one was Broken Glass.
If Broken Glass meant resurrection, then what did this thing mean?
He could not understand.
Chu Bai placed it into his spatial ring.
"Just this?"
Chu Bai did not give up. He squatted down and used his gathering skill on Gluttony.
[Ding. Gathering failed.]
"There's indeed something!"
Chu Bai's eyes lit up.
[Ding. Gathering failed.]
[Ding. You've successfully collected the item, fresh meat.]
[Ding. Your gathering skill has been upgraded to Level 3.]
Chu Bai looked at the item in his hand.
[Fresh meat. Grade: undetermined. It comes from the body of Gluttony, and it may have some effects after cooking.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
F*ck you!
He could not eat this, right?
Lil Xue'er sniffed Chu Bai's hand out of curiosity.
"Don't smell it."
Chu Bai quickly kept the fresh meat.
"Wuuu…"
Lil Xue'er called out to Chu Bai in confusion.
Then, she licked her lips as if she was hungry.
"It's raw. It's not delicious," Chu Bai said.
Then, Lil Xue'er nodded.
However, she called out again.
Chu Bai understood what she meant.
She probably meant that it could be eaten after it was cooked. Lil Xue'er wanted to eat it.
"No, I'm not letting you eat that." 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Wuuu…"
Lil Xue'er then lowered her head in dejection and rubbed against Chu Bai's ankle to express her goodwill.
"Be good. I'll let you eat something else when I have the chance, okay?"
Chu Bai touched her.
"Wuuu!"
Lil Xue'er cried out happily.
Chu Bai then squatted down and continued to use his gathering skill.
[Ding. Gathering failed.]
[Ding. Gathering failed.]
…
[Ding. Gathering failed, gathering skill proficiency increased.]
[Ding. Gathering failed.]
…
Chu Bai spent five minutes doing this!
Hundreds of failures!
With the one minute of rest, Gluttony's body was about to disappear.
Chu Bai quickly picked up the pace.
[Ding. Gathering failed, gathering skill proficiency increased."
[Ding. Gathering failed, gathering skill proficiency increased.]
[Ding…]
…
At this moment, a system notification came.
[Ding. Player Bai Ye, please note that the system has made 20 system announcements when you were tired. Your ID was emphasized. Asking for praise!]
Chu Bai did not hear it clearly because this system notification overlapped with the continuous gathering notifications.
[Ding. Gathering failed.]
[Ding. Player Bai Ye, please note that the system has made 20 system announcements when you were tired. Your ID was emphasized. Asking for praise!]
This time, Chu Bai heard it clearly.
F*ck!
Was it so human-like?
However, he was focused on gathering the items, and there were only 20 seconds left.
[Ding. Player Bai Ye, please note that the system has made 20 system announcements when you were tired. Your ID was emphasized. Asking for praise! Getting angry!]
Chu Bai did not say a word, but his sweat was dripping down.
It was the last ten seconds.
[Ding. Player Bai Ye, just praise me.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
[Ding. Player Bai Ye, just praise me.]
"I'll give you a bad review if you keep talking."
Chu Bai said directly. Although he did not know how to give a bad review, he just said it.
The system chimed in: [Shocked!]
It was the last five seconds now.
[Ding. You've successfully collected Goddess Tian Xue's white underwear.]
[Ding. Your gathering skill has been upgraded to Level 5.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
At the last second, he tried to use it again.
[Ding. You've successfully collected a mysterious parchment scroll.]
Chapter 64
The corpse disappeared in front of Chu Bai.
Chu Bai took a deep breath.
"I didn't lose anything."
In the last five seconds, he collected two items!
Then, Chu Bai took a look.
[Goddess Tian Xue's white underwear. Grade: Divine Emperor. It's a piece of undergarment for Goddess Tian Xue, one of the three goddesses of the human race on the Land of Fate. 10,000 years ago, when Goddess Tian Xue fought with Gluttony, Gluttony accidentally damaged her interspatial ring, causing a pile of items to spill out. This undergarment was accidentally sent to Starter Village 7777 by Goddess Tian Xue along with Gluttony and sealed in the Tower of Trials.]
[Usage requirements: female.]
[Effect: all damage received is reduced by 50%.]
[Passive effect: when equipped, the body will have a fragrant smell.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
Buzzzzzz!
What the hell was this?
However, this attribute was really overbearing. Just this effect of reducing damage by half was worthy of its Divine Emperor grade. No other attribute could compare to this effect.
'Should I sell it?'
It could be sold for a good price due to the effect alone.
All damage was reduced by 50%. Even he wanted to equip it.
Unfortunately, he could not.
"At that time, my Level 2 gathering skill managed to successfully gather a Divine Emperor-level item with a 0.01% success rate. It's no wonder my gathering skill was upgraded to Level 5," Chu Bai muttered to himself.
Chu Bai placed it in his spatial ring, then looked at the other parchment scroll.
[Mysterious parchment scroll. Grade: Super God. The mysterious parchment scroll looks like a special map. No one knows where the other segments of the map are, but this is only one of the four pieces of it. When all four pieces of parchment scroll are gathered together, the complete map will be formed.]
"This is good stuff."
Chu Bai really liked this kind of tool.
Although he would not be able to get anything, such harsh requirements usually meant that there was a huge treasure hidden to be sought after.
Chu Bai took a deep breath, then raised his head and looked ahead.
There was a flash of light.
It was the teleportation formation.
"It's time to leave the village," Chu Bai muttered to himself.
At this time, the system notification came again.
[Ding. As you've cleared the abyss-level Tower of Trials, the system will now announce it to the world. Do you wish to hide your ID?]
"Don't hide it. Use the highest decibel to broadcast it."
The system was speechless.
…
At this moment, in Sakura Nation.
A yellow-haired man appeared in the courtyard of the village chief.
"The hell-level trial is nothing more than this! There's nothing much to a Level-20 Yellow-Gold boss!"
He revealed a cold smile.
He did not dare to go to the abyss-level, but he went to the hell-level! It was the second most difficult level.
The final boss was a Level-20 Yellow-Gold boss.
His ID was 'I am God'.
He was a very famous player, one of the top players in Sakura Nation!
He had been famous for a long time, and his reputation was no less than that of Emperor, Shadow One Sword of Helplessness, Feng Lin, and others!
Almost everyone knew about him! All the countries knew him.
"The first person in the world to leave the starter village is me!"
I am God revealed a smile!
He imagined the shocked faces of the entire world.
"Bai Ye, right? He had reached Level 10 and entered the starter village so early, but he hasn't left yet. He probably died inside. Hehehe, trash!"
The countries could only see the rankings that belonged to them!
However, once they left the starter village, the rankings would be the global rankings.
All the major rankings were the same! 𝚋𝚎d𝚗ov𝚎𝚕.co𝚖
This was because once they left the starter village, the players from the hundreds of battle zones would gather together!
"Village Chief, I want to leave the village," he found the village chief and said.
"My brave warrior of the great Sakura Nation, you'll soon be the first person in the world to go to the Land of Fate. Congratulations!"
The village chief bowed to him.
I am God laughed.
"It's all thanks to your help!"
Then, a teleportation array appeared in front of him.
"Enter the teleportation array, and you'll be able to go to the Land of Fate."
He was about to step into the teleportation array.
However…
He suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He had a very good idea.
He had passed the hell-level trial and was about to be the first to leave the starter village. He could try to act cool! He could suppress the arrogance of famous experts from various countries!
"Release a global system announcement."
He spent 10,000 gold coins to make a global system announcement. That was a million!
However, he did not lack the money!
The system notification sounded.
[Ding. Attention all players around the world, Sakura Nation player I am God has made a global system announcement.]
"What's the situation? Isn't that the master from Sakura Nation? Why did he make a global system announcement? That's a million yuan."
"F*ck! Are they trying to provoke us? He seems to have some grudges against a few of our experts. Is he going to fight us?"
"F*ck! A little Sakura plaything."
…
Chu Bai raised his brows.
[I am God's system announcement is as follows: players from various battlezones, I'm very sorry, but I'm about to be the first person to leave the starter village. Also, I'll tell you that I passed the abyss-level Tower of Trials. You guys probably don't even dare to enter the abyss-level Tower of Trials, right? It was quite simple, but it seemed that Sino Nation's Bai Ye hasn't made any moves yet, right? Could it be that he died in the abyss level? Hahaha, let him find me. I'll teach him how to clear the game.]
He deliberately said that he had cleared the abyss-level Tower of Trials since no one knew about it. No one in his own country knew about it except for the village chief. However, the village chief could not hear the system announcement.
He could make everyone worship him! He was even happier when he saw their shocked expressions.
Everyone was speechless.
"F*ck your mother! F*ck! F*ck! He's f*king dead!"
"F*ck, the price of groceries will definitely increase. Your father will never get a good hand when playing poker. Your grandfather will always lose at the last moment when playing mahjong. Your grandmother's hands will be pricked by needles when she's sewing. Your brother's computer will definitely break down. F*ck!"
"F*ck! The trash that was instantly killed by God Bai Feng in the past is now showing off? F*ck!"
"I'm so angry, I'm so f*cking Angry! I really want to deal with him, but I really have no choice."
"Didn't a lot of Sino experts enter the Tower of Trials? Was there no one faster than him? What about God Bai Ye? He's been in the village for so long, but why wasn't he the first to leave? Ahhhh! I'm so angry!"
"The abyss-level Tower of Trials was actually cleared by someone from Sakura Nation? Ahhhhhhh!"
…
Everyone was furious!
However, they had no other choice.
When Chu Bai heard the system announcement, he laughed.
…
I am God looked at the shocked expressions of the surrounding players and basked in the glory of it all.
Although it was fake, he was enjoying it. He would be the first person to leave the village anyway, so no one would doubt him. He wanted all the glory.
At that moment, a system notification came.
[Ding. All players, please take note that player Bai Ye from Starter Village 77777 in the Sino battlezone has passed the abyss-level Tower of Trials. He's currently the only player to have passed the abyss-level Tower of Trials.]
[Ding. All players, please take note…]
[Ding…]
I am God was speechless.
Everyone was speechless.
[Ding. Attention all players around the world, player Bai Ye from Starter Village 77777 in Sino's battlezone has made a global announcement. The content of the announcement is as follows: ?]
I am God was full of question marks.
Chapter 65
The entire world was silent for a second.
"Hahaha! F*ck! F*ck! Hahahaha!
"Absolutely Pretentious! Hahaha… Abyss level? Hahaha… F*cking abyss. I almost believed it, hahaha …"
Sino's battlezone.
"I'm dying of laughter, hahaha! I'm laughing my *ss off! Keep pretending, keep pretending! Are you still pretending?"
"God Bai Ye is awesome! Just because of this, from today onward, I'll be your f*cking fan for life! Hahaha! Absolutely!"
"Oh my God! This bastard was actually pretending, hahaha! He clearly didn't pass the abyss level, yet he still said he passed it? Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter!"
"You're a god? Hahaha! You're f*cking lame! Acting like a f*cking dog, you're willing to give up your face just to act like a f*cking f*cker, hahahaha…"
"God Bai Ye is awesome! His three question marks directly killed him, hahahaha! God Bai Ye is the only one to have cleared the abyss-level. After exposing that, the guy from Sakura Nation was completely humiliated!"
…
Player was in the middle of a trial. He could not help but laugh when he heard the system notification.
[Hahaha, you're awesome!]
He sent a message to Chu Bai.
Jiang Qianyue also sent Chu Bai a 'thumbs-up' emoji.
Naturally, there was no lack of conflict.
Feng Ling's eyes narrowed.
"Bai Ye!"
He clenched his fists.
Bai Ye had stolen the limelight!
"I'll definitely kill you!"
…
I am God was stunned.
His face instantly turned gloomy and red.
He clenched his fists tightly.
"F*ck!"
I am God cursed.
He had turned into a clown in an instant!
"That detestable Bai Ye! I'm going to kill you!"
I am God's eyes flickered with ruthlessness as he cursed helplessly.
After he calmed down, he made another global system announcement.
[Ding. Attention all players around the world, I am God from Sakura Nation has released a global system announcement. The content of the announcement is as follows:]
[I was just joking just now. None of this is important. What's important is that I'm leaving the starter village now. I'll be the first player to leave the starter village. Bai Ye from the Sino battlezone, right? Can you leave the starter village in time? I'll still be the first player to leave the starter village, and I'll get a reward! The Sino battlezone is nothing more than a lackey of my Sakura battlezone. Especially since Bai Feng is dead, your Sino battlezone is nothing. Shadow, Emperor, One Sword of Helplessness, and Bai Ye… Hehehe, they will all be defeated by me. Finally, I want to say this-I am God!]
Everyone was speechless.
"F*ck you! How dare you mention my idol Bai Feng? If I meet you after I leave the starter village, I'll kill you even if I have to risk my life! F*ck!"
"Motherf*cker! He's really shameless! F*ck!"
"I'm so upset. Although he was humiliated in the face by God Bai Ye, I have to admit that… he'll indeed be the first to leave the starter village. God Bai Ye won't make it in time."
"F*ck! How f*cking unlucky!"
…
The players in the Sino battlezone were all cursing.
They really had no choice.
After I am God was done with all this, he regained some of his dignity.
Then, he looked at the Sakura Nation players.
"Everyone, I'm going!"
The Sakura Nation players who had gathered around nodded.
"God! Hurry up and get out! You represent the great Sakura Nation!"
"God, the one and only true god!"
"Charge, charge, charge!"
I am God sneered and stepped into the teleportation array!
Many of the Sakura Nation players and NPCs bowed and watched him leave with respect.
I am God waved at them and stood in the teleportation array.
However… 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"What?"
He was stunned for a moment.
Why had he not left the starter village?
At this moment, a system notification sounded.
[Ding. All players around the world, please take note …]
Before the system announcement had even finished, the players in the Sino battlezone had already clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.
Motherf*cker!
They thought that the system was going to announce that I am God from Sakura Nation was the first one to leave the starter village, but…
[Ding. Players all over the world, the handsome player Bai Ye from 77777 Starter Village in Sino's battlezone has used a battlezone ban on Sakura Nation. All players in Sakura Nation can only leave the starter village after 24 hours.]
[Ding. Players all over the world, the handsome player Bai Ye from 77777 Starter Village in Sino's battlezone has used a battlezone ban on Sakura Nation. All players in Sakura Nation can only leave the starter village after 24 hours.]
…
I am God was speechless.
Everyone was speechless.
[Ding. Attention all players around the world, player Bai Ye from Starter Village 77777 in Sino's battlezone has made another global announcement. The content of the announcement is as follows: ?]
Chapter 66
The Sino battlezone was silent for a few seconds again.
"Hahahaha… Hahaha! F*ck!"
"This is f*cking amazing! Great God Bai Ye is amazing! Hahaha!" 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
"First to leave the starter village? Are you f*cking joking? God Bai Ye directly sealed off your entire battlezone for a day, hahaha! F*ck! Is this what it means to be a pretentious dog? I love it, I love it! Master of comedy!"
"F*ck! God Bai Ye, I love you to death! Hahaha! Where's that pretentious dog? Make another announcement, hahahaha! Continue acting cool, come on! I'm laughing so hard, hahaha!"
"The clown! Hahaha, f*cking clown, continue with your performance! Hahaha!"
"God Bai Ye is madly attacking with question marks. God Bai Ye doesn't even know where this clown comes from. Hahaha… God Bai Ye is probably dumbfounded. How can there be such a clown pretending to be a dog, hahaha…"
"God Bai Ye's three question marks… Everything can be said without words, hahaha!"
…
The gamers were convulsing with laughter.
…
I am God stood there, and his face turned completely black!
A clown!
He had really become a clown.
"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"
He stood there in rage and roared madly!
"God Bai Ye, I'm going to skin you alive! I'll drink your blood! Stupid! Ahhhhhhh!"
I am God roared.
The other Sakura Nation players quickly consoled him.
"God! God, it's fine! God, please don't be angry. Even if our Sakura Nation can only get out of the starter village one day later, we won't blame you. You represent our country!"
"That's right! Don't be distracted by Bai Ye. We will always support you!"
"You're the god-level player of our great Sakura Nation. What's Bai Ye to you? "
…
In any case, they were only stopped from leaving the starter village for a day, so it would not affect them much.
I am God looked at them and said, "Thank you for your support. After I leave the starter village, I will definitely kill Bai Ye to pay for today's humiliation!"
He was still very touched by their words!
The players were still very supportive of him.
After that…
[Ding. Players all over the world, the handsome player Bai Ye from Starter Village 77777 in the Sino battlezone has used a warzone prohibition token on the Sakura battlezone. Players from the starter village in the Sakura battlezone can only leave the starter village after 24 hours. Total time: 48 hours.]
[Ding…]
Another system notification came.
Everyone was speechless.
The faces of the Sakura Nation players, who had just consoled I am God, changed.
"What?"
"Another day? Two days?"
Two days meant that they would be affected because no matter what, they would be able to leave the village within two days.
"Idiot!"
"God, you have to be responsible for our losses! F*ck!"
…
Sino battlezone:
"Hahaha!"
"I'm going crazy from laughing! Again? I love God Bai Ye to death!"
"They can only leave the village in two days. How far behind will the Sakura Nation be? It's important to catch up in the early stages, yet they're already two days behind, hahaha! They deserve it!"
…
Pfft!
Lu Yufan burst out laughing in the starter village.
"Bai Ye is so naughty."
The more she thought about it, the funnier she found it. She laughed so hard that she rocked back and forth.
Obviously, this move made the ID, Bai Ye, very popular in Sino.
Everyone laughed hard.
On the other hand.
With a flash of light, Chu Bai arrived in the village chief's courtyard.
Chapter 67
Chu Bai left the courtyard first and went to buy a few buns. He and Lil Xue'er quickly ate them.
One could starve to death in this game.
It was extreme!
Then, he hurried back to the village chief's courtyard.
"Brother Bai Ye!"
When the village chief saw Chu Bai, he quickly ran over with a shocked expression.
"You've become stronger! Don't tell me you…"
He stared at Chu Bai.
Chu Bai nodded. "Yes, I passed!"
"What?!"
The village chief was completely stunned on the spot.
He looked at Chu Bai in a daze.
His face was full of disbelief!
"This is… A destiny epaulet?" He stared at the epaulet on Chu Bai's chest.
Although he did not recognize it, he knew that after passing, he would receive an epaulet. This must be the destiny epaulet.
"The village chief took a deep breath, then patted Chu Bai's shoulder heavily."
"Good job! Good job! You're stronger than I thought! In the past 10,000 years, you're the only one to clear the abyss-level Tower of Trials! You're very likely one of the five sons of destiny! I didn't expect to see the birth of the heavens' chosen one in my lifetime. I can die without regrets now!" the village chief said excitedly.
"Village chief, you're too kind," Chu Bai said.
"No! No! Absolutely not! The three goddesses created these villages in order to find someone who can pass the abyss-level Tower of Trials, and you are that person! You're the chosen one, or even the son of destiny. Brother Bai Ye, I have a request."
Chu Bai looked at the village chief.
A request? The village chief was the sword god.
"Please speak, Village Chief."
"If it's possible, I really hope that you can join the human race."
Chu Bai was never considering the other four races to begin with.
"Village Chief, is there anything special about this?"
The village chief nodded. "Yes. Every adventurer who leaves the village can choose to go to the human race's Fate Continent, the demon race's Demon God Continent, the monster race's Monster God Continent, the beast race's Beast God Continent, and the God race's Myriad Gods Continent. Once they've made their choice, it means that they've joined the corresponding race!"
"What else?"
The village chief said, "Each of the five races has its own advantages. If you join the demon, monster, beast, and god race, all your attributes will increase. If you join the demon race, your health points will increase greatly.
"If you join the beast race, your attack power will be greatly improved. If you join the monster race, your speed will be greatly improved. If you join the god race, the degree of increase in all attributes will be even higher. Of course, your health will definitely not increase as much as if you join the demon race, but it wins in balance.
"What about the humans?" Chu Bai asked.
"The human race… You won't see an improvement."
Chu Bai frowned.
"No improvement? What's the advantage of the human race, then?"
"Higher potential."
Chu Bai frowned.
The village chief said, "No matter if it's the demon race, monster race, beast race, or god race, there's an 80% chance that they'll transform into a human form for their entire lives. This is because a human form is the most perfect body. But even if they take on human form, the thing about joining the human race is that you'll have no upper limit. If you join the human race, your level can reach level 101. However, I don't know what other specific aspects there are.
Level 101?
Chu Bai pondered for a while.
If it was just an increase of one level, it would definitely be a great loss considering the attribute bonuses of other races.
Therefore, it must be more than that.
He still preferred the human race.
"Yes, I'll join the human race."
Chu Bai said.
"That's good! That's good to hear."
The village chief nodded his head vigorously, then patted Chu Bai's shoulder.
"Brother Bai Ye, prepare to leave the village."
"Alright," he said.
Chu Bai followed the village chief to the backyard, and the village chief released a teleportation formation.
"This is the teleportation array that leads to the human race's Land of Fate. There are a total of eight empires on the Land of Fate."
"Isn't it the five great empires?" Chu Bai asked in confusion.
"The Land of Fate is surrounded by the other four races. The beast race is in the north, the monster race is in the south, the god race is in the east, and the demon race is in the west. The human race's Land of Fate is divided into two from the north to the south. The human race's Land of Fate that you're going to is the western region, which is where the five great empires are. You can come into contact with the demon race, the monster race, and the beast race there. The eastern region is where you can come into contact with the god race, the beast race, and the monster race. That's also where the three great empires are!
"The region where the three great empires are located is more powerful and prosperous. It's also a place you'll definitely set foot in in the future."
Chu Bai asked, "The Divine Phoenix Empire is…"
That was the empire Huang Xin was from.
"One of the three great empires in the east."
Chu Bai nodded.
"The five great empires in the western region of the human continent are the Kamikaze Empire, the White Tiger Empire, the Azure Dragon Empire, the Black Tortoise Empire, and the Vermillion Bird Empire. Where do you want to go?"
"Kamikaze Empire, I guess." Chu Bai said.
"The Kamikaze Empire is in the northernmost part of the country, bordering the beast race and the demon race. Are you sure?"
Chu Bai nodded.
"Good! The landing point will be any random city other than the main city of the Kamikaze Empire."
As the village chief spoke, he released a wave of energy, and the teleportation formation's light turned blue.
"Brother Bai Ye, are you willing to inherit my power?" the village chief asked.
Chu Bai was stunned.
What did that mean?
Sword God? The hidden class that was Sword God?
The three goddesses' guardian profession, and the hidden class that was the ceiling of a swordsman?
He had to!
"Of course, I'm willing!"
"Alright!"
The village chief nodded, then released a wave of energy toward Chu Bai!
However… 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶
[Ding. Class change failed.]
"How did this happen?" The village chief frowned.
Then, he looked at Chu Bai. "Perhaps we're not fated. Forget it. Take this instead."
Chu Bai was speechless.
F*ck!
Why did it turn out like this?
What a pity.
He then took the scroll.
[Hidden Class Sword God Class Change Scroll: upon use, one can obtain the hidden class-Sword God.]
He would definitely try it when the time came!
This was a top-tier hidden class.
Moreover, he was a swordsman.
"Let's go in."
Chu Bai nodded and stepped into the teleportation formation.
"Brother Bai Ye, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other again after this. I have one more request."
"Please speak, Village Chief."
The village chief said, "I still have descendants outside. It's been 10,000 years. I wonder how they are now. They happen to be in North Wind Town of the Kamikaze Empire. Their surname is Ren. If you meet my descendants, please take care of them."
After he finished speaking, he handed Chu Bai a jade pendant and a letter.
"This jade pendant can be recognized by my descendants. The letter says that when the two jade pendants are combined, it becomes a treasure. You can keep it when the time comes."
[Ding. You've triggered the mission 'Take care of the village chief's descendants'. Mission reward: mysterious jade pendant. Mission time limit: none. Do you accept?]
Chu Bai nodded and took it.
"I will!"
"Thank you very much. It's getting late. Brother Bai Ye, I'll see you again!"
"We'll meet again!"
Whoosh!
With a flash of light, Chu Bai disappeared.
Chapter 68
There was a flash.
Chu Bai appeared in a bustling city.
He was in an empty square.
There were not many people, but there were at least a hundred people walking around in his line of sight.
After all, the players had not arrived yet. These were all NPCs.
[Ding. You've arrived at Liuzhou City of the Kamikaze Empire.]
[Ding. You've chosen the human race.]
[Ding. You're the first player in the world to leave the starter village, reputation +100,000, diamond treasure chest.]
[Ding. As you're the first player in the world to leave a starter village, the system will make a global system announcement. The system will not hide your ID by default, and the announcement will be made 20 times. Your ID will be emphasized, and the prefix of your ID is 'handsome'. Are you sure you want to confirm?]
Chu Bai raised his brows.
This system was quite sensible.
"I'm sure."
[Ding. All players please take note, the handsome player Bai Ye from Hua Nation battlezone's 77777 Starter Village is the first to leave a starter village.]
[Ding…]
…
Whoosh!
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Way to go! As expected, God Bai Ye is the first to leave the starter village! You've made the Hua Nation battlezone proud!"
"I'm so jealous. I wonder what the reward for being the first to leave a starter village is."
"I think it's high-grade equipment? They couldn't possibly give him another talent, right? Hahahaha!"
…
Chu Bai stood there.
His reputation points were already at 560,000.
Reputation points had many uses. For example, reputation points were needed to establish guilds and establish cities. There were many other uses for reputation points too, and they were only useful to top-tier players.
"A diamond treasure chest?"
Chu Bai then took a look.
[Diamond Treasure Chest: a reward for the first player to leave a starter village. When the diamond treasure chest is opened, one can randomly draw an additional talent from the S, SS, and SSS talents.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
"Is this even possible?"
Chu Bai opened the diamond treasure chest without hesitation.
[Ding. Random talent drawing in progress, please wait.]
[Ding. Congratulations on obtaining the SSS-grade talent, Super Reduction.]
Chu Bai raised his brows.
SSS-grade talent!
This lucky effect was too awesome!
He then took a look at the effects of Super Reduction.
[Super Reduction: SSS-grade talent. The holder of this talent will not require consumption when executing skills, and the cooldown of all skills (except equipment) will be permanently reduced by 50%.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
F*ck!
How fierce!
It was actually a skill with no consumption, and all skill cooldowns were halved.
In other words, Blade Waltz and Triple Flame Slash only had a 15-second cooldown.
He did not have much mana to begin with. If he used Wind Dancing in the Sky and Double Phoenix Flight, he would use up his mana even faster. With this new talent, all his problems were solved!
It was definitely an SSS-grade talent.
[Ding. Attention all players around the world, player Emperor from 66666 Starter Village in the Hua Nation battlezone is the second player to leave a starter village.]
[Ding. Attention all players around the world, player Shadow from 99999 Starter Village in the Hua Nation battlezone is the third to leave a starter village.]
[Ding. Attention all players around the world, player Feng Ling from 00250 Starter Village in the Hua Nation battlezone is the fourth to leave a starter village.]
…
Not long after Chu Bai left the starter village, a series of system notifications rang out.
In fact, a difference of a few seconds between them could even change the ranking.
"F*ck! Our Hua Nation battlezone is awesome!"
"They're all famous experts, but this time, a newcomer has appeared and suppressed the three big shots. The first was idol Bai Feng, and now there's God Bai Ye. I seriously suspect that the IDs of these games have a special buff."
"I understand! I'll definitely add 'Bai' to my ID in the future!"
…
Chu Bai did not care about this. He took out the class change scroll for Sword God.
He did not want to give up and wanted to try again.
Chu Bai tried to crush it.
[Ding. Class change failed.]
Chu Bai frowned.
"Why?"
He had never encountered such a thing.
He tried again.
[Ding. Class change failed.]
He looked at the class change scroll and then silently put it away.
"I'll go to the job-changing point for the second job-changing."
Chu Bai planned to go offline and rest after completing his second transition.
The battle with Gluttony had almost exhausted him to death. If they had fought any longer, he would have starved to death even if he was not killed by Gluttony.
There was a large shed in front of him on the right, and seven old men were sitting there. This was the place for the second transition.
Every city had a class change point.
Chu Bai walked over.
The old men were stretching and chatting.
"Old Man Chang Feng, how were the two women from Chunhua Brothel last night? They're alright, right?"
The blue-haired old man called Old Man Chang Feng said, "They're very big and smooth, but they're a little expensive."
"They're not expensive. It's just that the six of us went too many times, so we're naturally short of money. Old Swordsman, it was your first time going last night. How did it feel?"
An old man of about 50 years old, who was holding a sword and sitting upright, opened his eyes.
His eyes were still sharp.
The swordsman said, "Ahem, it was alright."
"Hahaha! You old thing, you're always so serious. You kept saying that you wouldn't go to that kind of place even if you died. Look at you now. You're glowing, hahaha!"
The few old men looked at the swordsman and laughed.
"Don't talk nonsense."
The swordsman's face turned red.
"Sigh, just do your work honestly. Let's not think about this for now."
The swordsman glanced at them and said, "It's fine. Tonight's my treat."
"Oh, I've known you for 30 years, but you've never treated me to a meal before. Now you're treating six people to a meal? What are you up to, Old Swordsman."
"Don't talk nonsense! I just… I only patronized their business because I saw that they were pitiful!" the swordsman said in exasperation.
Chu Bai stood in front of them and listened to their conversation. He was obviously a little embarrassed.
"Ahem."
At this moment, Chu Bai coughed dryly.
The seven of them paused and looked at Chu Bai in unison.
"What did you hear, kid?" Huo Yan nervously asked.
"Ah, it's nothing. I didn't hear anything. I'm here to change my class," Chu Bai said.
They looked at each other.
"An adventurer from another world?"
Chu Bai nodded.
They looked at each other.
"You're finally here. Take a seat. What class do you want to change to? By the way, you really didn't hear anything, did you?" Yan Huo coughed dryly and asked, returning to his normal appearance.
"Yes, I didn't hear you," Chu Bai said.
"That's good. You're smart, kid. What class do you want to change to?"
"Second-class Swordsman."
"Old Swordsman, he's your guy."
The swordsman hugged his sword with both hands as he sat there, looking at Chu Bai.
"Ten gold coins."
"I need to pay?" Chu Bai asked.
"The class change costs ten gold coins. It's the same for everyone."
The swordsman lifted his teacup and took a sip of tea.
"No, no! It's 100 gold coins. Class advancement requires 100 gold coins! Young man, do you have a hundred gold coins?" Huo Yan said to him with a smile.
Chu Bai rubbed his chin.
"Alright, 100 gold coins it is, then. I was planning to save some money for Chunhua Brothel."
"Pfft!"
Chapter 69
Chu Bai's words could not be more obvious.
He had obviously heard everything.
Hearing Chu Bai's words, the seven old men's expressions changed.
"Ahahaha… Chunhua Brothel? Young man, what are you talking about? I don't understand. Old Swordsman, ten gold coins it is then. Give him a discount."
Huo Yan touched his red beard and laughed, trying to hide his embarrassment.
Originally, he was thinking of scamming some money so that he could take care of those poor girls.
The swordsman coughed and said, "You don't need to pay. I'll give you a free class advancement."
Clang.
Chu Bai slammed a hundred gold coins on the table.
"Here! 100 gold coins is 100 gold coins. I'm not a person who covets small gains."
Hearing Chu Bai's words, the seven of them trembled.
Huo Yan immediately flashed to Chu Bai's side and pulled him to the side, whispering, "Young man, I was wrong just now. Here are five gold coins. It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
He handed Chu Bai five gold coins with a smile.
[Ding. You've received five gold coins.]
"Just five?" Chu Bai asked.
Huo Yan paused for a moment.
"No, this is all I have! If you don't believe me, take a look!"
He then opened his pockets, cloth bags, and other things.
Two lonely copper coins fell to the ground.
"I'll add two more copper coins. I really don't have any more."
When the other six old men saw this scene, they exchanged glances and understood tacitly.
"Spending money to avoid disaster, huh?"
Then, they all took out their money and came over.
"Hehehe, young man, here's 15 gold coins, my entire fortune. I'll apologize to you on behalf of that Old Huo Yan."
"I have 13 gold coins."
"I have eight gold coins here."
"I only have two copper coins… Little brother, please forget what you just heard."
…
Chu Bai took them all.
"Senior, you have more than 20 gold coins, right?"
He looked at the swordsman.
The swordsman paused for a moment.
Then, Chu Bai pointed at his money bag.
"It's bulging."
The swordsman's mouth twitched, and he threw the money bag to Chu Bai.
"That's all."
Chu Bai laughed as he weighed it in his hand, then walked over.
"Class change, swordsman."
The swordsman passed a scroll to Chu Bai in a bad mood.
"Just write your name on it and you can change your class."
"Many thanks, Senior."
Chu Bai grinned.
Then, he wrote 'Bai Ye'.
[Ding. Class change failed.]
"What?"
Chu Bai frowned.
"What's wrong?"
The seven of them looked at Chu Bai in confusion.
"Class change failed."
"What?"
They were shocked.
"You can try again."
The swordsman handed Chu Bai a class change scroll.
[Ding. Class change failed.]
"It still failed?"
They looked at each other.
"How did this happen?"
Chu Bai then stared at them and said, "Don't tell me you guys are unhappy that you had to give me money and that's why you're not letting me change classes. I'll file a complaint."
"Kid!"
The swordsman stood up and pointed at Chu Bai.
"You can question my character, but you can't question my professional ethics!"
Huo Yan tugged at the corner of the old swordsman's clothes and said in a low voice, "Old Swordsman, you were absent from work yesterday."
The swordsman was speechless.
"Fine," he said.
He then slumped into the chair.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Chu Bai, "But whether you believe it or not, the seven of us didn't play any tricks in this matter."
In fact, Chu Bai believed it too. After all, he had also failed to transition to Sword God.
"Then what's the situation here?"
Chu Bai frowned.
Being unable to change classes meant that his attributes would be weaker.
Most of the players' attributes came from their second and third job transitions.
"There are two reasons for this. Either our strength isn't enough for you to change your class, which means we're not worthy of you, or you're too weak, so you don't have the ability to obtain more power. Which of these two reasons do you think is the reason?"
Chu Bai thought for a while and said, "It should be the former." 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"The former? Hahaha! I'm only telling you this in theory."
They laughed.
The swordsman then said, "I've sat here for 30 years and have handled at least 50,000 people, if not 100,000. If you take a casual look in the city now, you'll easily find someone whom I've helped. There has never been a person who couldn't change their classes because they were too strong.
"Has there been anyone who was too strong to change their classes? But you actually said that it's the former. You really don't know… I… F*ck!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly noticed the epaulet on Chu Bai's chest!
"The destiny epaulet!"
They all shouted in unison and stood up in shock, staring at the destiny epaulet.
"Are you talking about this?"
Chu Bai laughed in his heart. He lowered his head and used his hand to pull at the epaulet on his chest.
The seven of them rushed in front of Chu Bai and stared at the epaulet.
"The destiny epaulet! It really is the destiny epaulet!"
Their bodies were trembling with excitement!
Then, they raised their heads and looked at Chu Bai in a completely different light.
"I'm sorry! I apologize for what I said just now, the great chosen one!" The swordsman placed a hand on his chest and bowed deeply to Chu Bai. The other six did the same.
"Do you need to be so polite?"
Chu Bai sat down on the swordsman's chair, crossed his legs, blew on his tea, and took a small sip.
The swordsman said, "The person who has the destiny epaulet is the chosen one handpicked by the three goddesses. He may even become the human race's son of destiny. He'll lead the human race to victory in the Battle of Gods. Even the three goddesses will have to be polite to you, let alone us."
Huo Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I'd like to express my deepest apologies for my inappropriate behavior before."
"It's fine. Let's talk about the class change."
"From the looks of it, it's true that you can't go through the second transition because you're too strong, but it's fine!" the swordsman said.
Then, he took out a class change scroll and passed it to Chu Bai.
"This scroll has inherited my legacy. After using it, you can change your class to the hidden class, Light Swordsman."
When the other six old men saw this, they also took out their hidden class scrolls and rushed over.
"Young hero, don't change to a swordsman. Choose another class and change to my Explosive Mage class. Being a mage is awesome!"
"Go to the side, you trashy mage. Change your class to my Divine Shield Bearer. If you're a man, you should be tougher!"
"All of your jobs are trash. Change to my White Feather Priest class. Which man doesn't need blessings?"
…
Chu Bai was shocked by their sudden enthusiasm.
He quickly stood up and took the Light Swordsman scroll.
"No, no, no. I still prefer being a swordsman."
The swordsman's face was filled with pride.
"Changing to a swordsman is right! Which man doesn't want to use his sword to travel the world?!"
Chu Bai then mumbled, "I'm just afraid that my class isn't good enough and I won't be able to make any money. I might even have to scrape together some money to go to Chunhua Brothel."
The seven old men were speechless.
Chapter 70
The seven of them stood there in shame, unable to speak.
Chu Bai had no choice. He could only settle for the next best thing and change to a hidden profession that might not be that strong.
Then, he squeezed the class change scroll.
[Ding. Class change failed.]
"As expected…"
Chu Bai was not particularly surprised because he had failed to change his class to Sword God.
"Still not enough?" the swordsman asked tentatively.
Chu Bai nodded.
Then, the old men looked at each other in shock.
"Even this power can't do it?"
What level of power was worthy of him, then?
"Why don't you try my mage?"
Chu Bai took the scroll.
[Ding. Class change failed.]
"No." Chu Bai shook his head.
"You can try my archer's hidden class."
Chu Bai took the scroll.
[Ding. Class change failed.]
…
Chu Bai had tried everything, but he failed one by one.
"In other words, I can't change my class?"
Chu Bai frowned.
"No! It's not that you can't change your class. If one day you can meet a powerful class that's worthy of you, you can change your class. Perhaps you'll have the opportunity to come into contact with even more powerful experts on the continent, and you may be able to inherit their power.
"If you can't do it before Level 50, then you can only wait until after Level 50 to go to the three great empires of the East. There should be strong existences there."
Chu Bai nodded.
That was the only way.
"I'm very sorry for our incapability."
They all bowed.
Chu Bai's bad impression of them for scamming his money had also lessened.
"If there's nothing else, then I'll be leaving."
"Wait!"
The swordsman passed his hidden class scroll to Chu Bai.
"Little brother, take this scroll. If you meet a suitable person, you can give it to him. I can rest assured about the person chosen by the son of destiny."
"I'll also have to trouble you with my hidden class scroll."
"And mine."
…
[Ding. You have obtained Light Swordsman hidden class change scroll.]
[Ding. You have received Explosive Mage hidden class change scroll.]
[Ding…]
Seven scrolls for seven hidden classes.
'This …' Was this the invisible buff brought about by his luck?
"No problem!"
Then, the swordsman said, "Little brother, if you want to go out and gain experience, you can go to the mission board to receive a mission. However, our Liuzhou borders the demon race. We're not far from the beast race either. You must be careful."
"Many thanks! Then I'll take my leave."
"Take care!"
Chu Bai then went offline.
The seven of them heaved a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect to see the chosen one. He might even be our human race's son of destiny. We're so lucky."
"The chosen one should be a man of good character and will definitely keep his promise. He promised us not to tell anyone about this, so he definitely won't."
"Forget it, forget it. I won't think about it anymore. Old Swordsman, you're treating me tonight. You said it yourself."
The swordsman hugged his sword and said coldly, "I don't have money, so why should I treat you?"
…
After Chu Bai went offline, he ate something and went to sleep.
He was too tired and could not take it at all. Besides his body, he was also overburdened in his mind.
He slept for nearly two days.
On the other hand, Jiang Qianyue, Yu Qingyu, and Lu Yufan were having dinner at home.
"What's wrong? You look like you have a lot on your mind," Jiang Qianyue asked.
Lu Yufan held her chin in her hands and used her chopsticks to dig into her bowl.
"Sister Qianyue, there hasn't been any news from Chu Bai for the past two days. Do you think something happened to him?"
Lu Yufan put down her chopsticks, her face full of worry.
"He's in his house all alone. We've knocked on his door a few times to give him some fruits and asked him to eat with us. We even looked for him yesterday to celebrate Brother Shan joining our studio, but he didn't respond…"
They knew that Chu Bai was also playing the game, but they did not know his ID. Chu Bai even said that his talent was a rubbish overhealing talent and that… he might die in the game.
His shoes were still there at his door, which meant that the man was still there.
Jiang Qianyue said, "Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Let's eat."
"Alright."
Lu Yufan ate her rice listlessly.
"You guys eat first. I'll go take a look."
After eating two mouthfuls, Jiang Qianyue could not sit still any longer and stood up.
"I'm going too." Lu Yufan immediately stood up.
"I'll go and take a look too. After all, we're friends," Yu Qingyu said.
"Alright," she said.
Then, they went to his door together.
Knock, knock, knock.
Lu Yufan knocked on the door.
"Chu Bai, are you there?" Lu Yufan called out.
Knock, knock, knock.
They knocked on the door again.
There was still no response.
Then, they increased their strength.
There was still no response.
The more it was like this, the more worried they were.
He would not have… Did something really happen?
It was not that they liked him. They just felt that he was a good person. They were friends and neighbors, and they met frequently. They were really worried that something had happened to him.
Due to the game, many of their friends were no longer around. Many people especially cherished their friends, worried that they would disappear one day.
"Sister Qianyue."
Lu Yufan looked at Jiang Qianyue worriedly.
"Let's go to a locksmith. There's been no news for two days, and there's no response when we knock on the door. It's quite strange."
"I can do it," Yu Qingyu replied.
"Huh?"
They looked at Yu Qingyu in confusion.
"I learned it in Lanxiang before."
After Yu Qingyu finished speaking, she took out a small clip and broke the thin and long iron wire on it. Then, she walked to Chu Bai's door and stabbed it in the keyhole.
Lu Yufan placed her hands in front of her chest and muttered in her heart.
"I pray that Chu Bai is fine. If he's fine, then my chest will grow to the size of Sister Qingyu's and not to the size of Sister Qianyue's! I seek your blessing!"
Click!
"It's opened."
Yu Qingyu opened the door and took a step back.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Then, they walked in carefully.
"Chu Bai, are you there?"
Jiang Qianyue called out softly.
"Chu Bai."
Lu Yufan also shouted.
Click. 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦
They opened a bedroom door, but there was no one inside.
Lu Yufan shouted as she opened the door of another bedroom.
Click.
After that…
"Ah!"
She covered her eyes and screamed.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Qianyue and Yu Qingyu were both shocked.
They subconsciously thought that Lu Yufan might have seen Chu Bai's body or something scary.
Then, they quickly ran to the door and looked inside.
The next second…
The two girls were stunned.
Whoosh!
Jiang Qianyue's and Yu Qingyu's faces both turned red. One turned to the left while the other turned to the right, but they did not scream like Lu Yufan.
Chapter 71
Chu Bai was sleeping soundly.
Suddenly, a shrill scream sounded from not far away. He subconsciously summoned the God Slaying Calamity.
There was a flash of black light, and Chu Bai held the God Slaying Calamity in his hand.
Then, he stood on the bed and stared at the door.
Lu Yufan covered her eyes and squatted on the ground.
Jiang Qianyue and Yu Qingyu were standing on her left and right.
The two girls turned around.
Chu Bai heaved a sigh of relief.
He had thought that something dangerous had happened.
He used the God Slaying Calamity by instinct.
In reality, he could now use skills like Blade Waltz, Triple Flame Slash, and even unlimited ultimate skills.
Although he was not as strong as in the game, this was the similarity between reality and the game!
The strength of a human's body would also increase with the increase of their attributes in the game. If they had a high defense, it increased the chances of a blade not being able to pierce through their chest in reality. 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢
Therefore, in theory, the stronger one was in the game, the more powerful one would be in reality!
However, the attributes of the equipment in the game would not appear in reality.
Moreover, some special effects, such as dizziness, might not be able to be used in the real world.
As such, the Blue Planet had become a game world without a system, health bar, or attributes.
Plop!
Chu Bai jumped off the bed.
"I say, what's wrong with you guys?"
Chu Bai said as he walked in front of Lu Yufan.
"Fan Fan, what's wrong?"
Hearing movement, Lu Yufan opened her hand and looked up…
"Ah! What a hooligan! Hooligan!"
She screamed, covered her face, and ran away.
"What's wrong with her?"
Chu Bai asked Jiang Qianyue in confusion.
"Ahem."
Jiang Qianyue glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, then quickly turned her head away.
Then, she pointed at Chu Bai and walked away quickly.
Yu Qingyu did not say a word and quickly followed.
Chu Bai then lowered his head and looked at himself.
F*ck!
Bang!
He slammed the door shut.
…
"Chu Bai is a big hooligan! A big hooligan! I'm dead…"
Lu Yufan returned home and could not calm down for a long time. Her face was so red that it looked like blood was about to drip out.
Especially when she was squatting there and Chu Bai was standing in front of her. The moment she looked up…
She was dead.
She was already dead.
"It's fine, it's fine."
Jiang Qianyue gently patted Lu Yufan's back and consoled her, "He definitely didn't do it on purpose. Besides, we were the ones who barged into his house first. It's not his fault. It's his freedom to sleep naked."
Obviously, she and Yu Qingyu were much calmer.
Yu Qingyu poured the water and said, "He's Bai Ye."
"Huh?"
Lu Yufan looked at Yu Qingyu in confusion.
"Sister Qingyu, what are you talking about?"
Jiang Qianyue did not say a word.
It was because she had also recognized him.
Yu Qingyu placed a glass of water in front of Lu Yufan, then picked up the dagger that belonged to her on the table. She moved it quickly in her hand, her eyes fixed on the dagger.
"Fan Fan, didn't you see the weapon he subconsciously held?" Yu Qingyu asked Lu Yufan.
Lu Yufan sat on the sofa, and her lips trembled. She said pitifully, "I only saw that thing… I'm so miserable, boo-hoo!"
"Is there any possibility of it being an imitation? After all, many people would copy the signature weapons of their favorite players," Jiang Qianyue muttered.
She had seen it too, so her first reaction was to think that Chu Bai was Bai Ye. However, she was talking about a possibility.
"Yes! But I don't think it's an imitation of that weapon in real life. It shouldn't be that fast. The only possibility is that he brought it out of the game," Yu Qingyu said.
"Huh? Is Chu Bai really God Bai Ye?" Lu Yufan asked in surprise.
"Chu Bai, Bai Ye… maybe it's true," Jiang Qianyue said with a laugh.
Chu Bai… He recognized her but pretended not to.
However, it was understandable. After all, he was worried that exposing his identity in reality would bring great trouble or even a fatal disaster.
"Fan Fan, Qingyu, whether or not this is true, you must keep this a secret!"
Jiang Qianyue told the two girls sternly.
"Sister Qianyue, don't worry. He's a player that I respect very much, especially after the I am God incident. I respect him even more."
Lu Yufan also nodded repeatedly. "I would never do such a thing, hmph! I did not expect Chu Bai to be Bai Ye. Damn it, I want to fight him one-on-one!"
"You're going to fight Chu Bai one-on-one?"
Jiang Qianyue looked at Lu Yufan with a faint smile.
"Oh, Sister Qianyue, just let me pretend for a while." Lu Yufan pouted.
Jiang Qianyue then smiled and asked, "Fan Fan, does that mean that Chu Bai is becoming more and more suitable as a candidate for your boyfriend? Besides, you've even seen him naked. Shouldn't you be responsible for that?"
Lu Yufan's face turned red in an instant.
"I just… Not at all. Moreover, Sister Qianyue and Sister Qingyu have also seen it, right? You guys have to take responsibility too, especially Sister Qianyue. Her breasts are so big. Chu Bai will definitely love her to death," Lu Yufan mumbled.
Jiang Qianyue knocked Lu Yufan's head.
Knock, knock, knock.
At this moment, someone knocked on their door.
Chapter 72
The moment the door was knocked, Lu Yufan stood up immediately.
She looked around the room, looking for a place to hide.
"Don't hide anymore, unless you plan to hide forever."
Jiang Qianyue then walked toward the door.
"Sister Qianyue, aren't you embarrassed?" Lu Yufan asked, blushing.
"Sister Qianyue isn't a little girl like you," Yu Qingyu said.
Lu Yufan pouted, then stuck out her chest.
"They're not small!"
Jiang Qianyue opened the door.
The person standing at the door was Chu Bai.
Awkward…
Although Jiang Qianyue and Yu Qingyu appeared very calm…
At this moment, the four of them felt like they wanted to build three rooms and a living room.
"Ahem, Sister Qianyue," Chu Bai touched the tip of his nose and greeted.
"Come and sit."
Jiang Qianyue flashed a smile at Chu Bai.
Good boy!
Her temperament as a mature lady and a lady from a wealthy family, coupled with her explosive figure and beautiful face, was really invincible!
"Alright."
Chu Bai walked in and saw Yu Qingyu and Lu Yufan, who was reading a book on the sofa.
"I'll get you some water," Yu Qingyu left after she finished speaking.
At this moment, Lu Yufan's big eyes were looking left and right past the book, and her heart was extremely tormented.
'That detestable Sister Qingyu, using the excuse of pouring water to slip away so that Sister Qianyue can ease the awkwardness between us. How cunning! Why didn't I think of that?'
"Fan Fan, Chu Bai is here," Jiang Qianyue said to Lu Yufan.
"Huh? Chu Bai, hahahaha, I'm reading."
Lu Yufan stuck out half of her head and laughed.
"You're holding your book upside down."
Chu Bai sat down after speaking.
Lu Yufan was speechless.
Three rooms and one living room! No! At this point, she wanted to build a whole new villa.
"You've been sleeping for two days?"
Jiang Qianyue was the eldest one, after all, and her state of mind was relatively calm. She also kept her mouth shut about what had just happened.
"Yeah, I was a little tired from fighting a boss, so I slept for a long time," Chu Bai said.
Naturally, he had just realized that he had been exposed.
However, this was not important. As long as the news that he was Bai Feng was not exposed to all, he could accept it.
"Is it that Dark Demon beast?" Jiang Qianyue asked.
She did not awkwardly ask Chu Bai if he was Bai Ye, but she was already telling him that she knew.
Chu Bai nodded.
"I was wondering why he was the first one to leave the starter village but I haven't seen him in two days. I was just discussing with Fan Fan and Qingyu if something happened. So that's what happened. It's fine then."
Yu Qingyu walked over and handed Chu Bai a glass of water.
"Thank you," Chu Bai took the water and said.
"You're welcome." Yu Qingyu sat at the side.
"Don't worry, we'll keep our lips sealed," Jiang Qianyue said directly to Chu Bai. 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
"Then I'll have to thank you, Sister Qianyue."
"There's still me! There's still me!"
Lu Yufan pointed at herself, her big eyes filled with anticipation.
"Thank you, Fan Fan."
"Hehe."
She then laughed out loud.
"Alright, let's just pretend that nothing happened. Chu Bai, we're having a meal with Brother Zhang Shan later. Do you want to join us? Don't worry, I won't tell him. The meal won't take much time."
They had just eaten, but not much. Jiang Qianyue knew that Chu Bai must be hungry after sleeping for two days, so she naturally wanted to bring him for a meal.
Chu Bai nodded.
"Then I'll go and call him."
"I'll go," Yu Qingyu stood up and said.
"Alright," she said.
Lu Yufan went to Chu Bai's side.
"Chu Bai, which city are you in? Please carry me. "
"Liuzhou," Chu Bai replied.
"Woah! I'm also in Liuzhou City!" Lu Yufan exclaimed.
"How coincidental!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Lu Yufan nodded excitedly.
"Then let's meet and add each other as friends," Chu Bai said.
Players could only add each other face-to-face.
"Good, good! It's so cool to have Bai Ye as a friend!" Lu Yufan said happily.
"I'm not too far away from Qingyu. If there's a chance, we can fight together," Jiang Qianyue said.
"Yes, no problem."
Chu Bai nodded.
Then, they had a casual chat.
"Qingyu said that Brother Zhang Shan is going home tonight. Why don't you have a meal here anyway?"
"It won't be troublesome, right?"
Jiang Qianyue smiled. "It's no trouble at all. I'll just warm the food up."
"Then I won't be polite."
Chu Bai smiled and rolled up his sleeves.
He felt that he was being taken care of by three women.
It was the first time he felt this way, and it was great.
"You can sit here."
Jiang Qianyue pointed to a chair.
"Alright," he said.
Chu Bai walked over.
"What's this?"
Chu Bai saw a white cloth on the chair and picked it up subconsciously.
Lu Yufan had just opened a bottle of beer and was taking a sip when she saw this scene.
Pfft!
She spurted out a mouthful of beer.
"Don't move!" Lu Yufan shouted, then immediately burst out with amazing speed and snatched it back, stuffing it directly into the pocket of her pajamas.
Chu Bai's movements were frozen…
What was that?
…
"Phew… I'm so tired!"
Zhang Shan returned home, took off his coat, and went to his bedroom.
He had also forced himself to level up and leave the starter village yesterday.
Zhang Shan returned to his bedroom. It was pitch-black.
He saw that his wife had already fallen asleep.
"It's only nine o'clock and you're already asleep?"
Zhang Shan then tiptoed and prepared to go to bed.
"Oh… Hubby."
The woman rubbed her drowsy eyes and sat up.
"Honey, did I wake you up?"
"Hubby, I suddenly feel very hungry. Can you go out and buy me something to eat?" the woman asked.
"I just came back, and I'm so tired."
"Come on, I'm so hungry, my good husband."
Zhang Shan then put on his pants and stood up.
"Alright, wait for me!"
"I love you, Hubby! Mwacks!"
Then, Zhang Shan walked out.
"Hubby, don't turn on the lights. It's blinding," the woman shouted.
"Where are my clothes? I need to turn on the lights to look for my clothes."
"Oh, you can just wear anything."
Zhang Shan then felt for a jacket. After putting it on, he walked out.
In the security room at the entrance of the community.
A man with a bare upper body who was wearing only a pair of shorts crept back.
"Captain!"
A security guard saw him and saluted!
"Captain, where's your shirt on such a cold day?" he asked in surprise.
"Stop talking nonsense and stand guard," the shirtless man rebuked.
At this time, Zhang Shan whistled as he walked from the inside of the community to the entrance.
"Hey, Chief Liu, what's going on with you? Why aren't you wearing a shirt in the middle of the night? Did you hit the gym?" Zhang Shan laughed.
Captain Liu coughed drily.
"Brother Zhang Shan, why are you wearing my captain's uniform?" the security guard asked in surprise.
"What do you mean by your captain's uniform? This is obviously…" Zhang Shan said as he lowered his head!
F*ck!
This was not his jacket.
The security guard went over and pointed at Zhang Shan's left chest and said, "Look, this is the captain's name tag. Liu Xiaogen, right?"
Zhang Shan took a closer look.
He then raised his head and looked at Liu Xiaogen.
Liu Xiaogen had already run far away.
"You motherf*cker!" Zhang Shan yelled. "Stop right there!"
…
[Ding. Welcome to Land of Destiny.]
Chu Bai opened his eyes.
Chapter 73
He logged in at the job-changing point because that was where he logged off.
The current Liuzhou City was packed with people!
Other than a large number of NPCs, there were players everywhere.
It was already two days later, and the number of players who had left starter villages was simply too high.
Moreover, there were many players from hundreds of countries gathered here.
Sakura Nation, Merica Nation, Seunmida Nation, and so on.
All the players from each country would come here after leaving their respective starter villages.
The other four races were probably in the same situation.
Of course, the players were not from the same country, so conflicts between them could easily erupt.
However, each nation had its own territory within the five great empires. There were many cities within the territory, and there would be a large number of players within. Only players who belonged to that nation could enter.
[Ding. You've received the ultimate skill-Water Ball.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
[Every day, you'll be able to release an infinite number of big moves randomly. Because it is random, there are strong and weak moves!]
Chu Bai could not even be bothered to look at the Water Ball spell. It was a basic water mage skill.
His luck was too bad.
However, he did not need any powerful skills for the time being!
"You're going to give me a powerful move tomorrow, right?" Chu Bai muttered to himself.
"Let's take a look at the rankings first."
Players could be online for a total of 24 hours in the past two days. Those people must have been killing monsters like crazy. The level and quality of the monsters here were higher than those in the starter village, and they gave more experience.
Level ranking board:
[1st place: Level 21. Class: Swordsman. Nickname: Bai Ye. Battlezone: Hua Nation.]
[2nd place: Level 14. Class: Rank-2 Swordsman. Nickname: Emperor. Battlezone: Hua Nation.]
[3rd place: Level 14. Class: Rank-2 Assassin. Nickname: Shadow. Battlezone: Hua Nation.]
[4th place: Level 14. Class: Rank-2 Swordsman. Nickname: Black Flame. Battlezone: Merica Nation.]
[5th place: Level 14. Class: Rank-2 Fire Magician. Nickname: Apollo. Battlezone: Merica Nation.]
[6th place: Level 14. Class: Rank-2 Assassin. Nickname: Moon. Battlezone: Sakura Nation.]
[7th place: Level 14. Class: Rank-2 Swordsman. Nickname: Dark Night. Battlezone: Hua Nation.]
[8th place: Level 14. Class: Rank-2 Assassin. Nickname: Dark Sky. Battlezone: Hua Nation.]
[9th place: Level 14. Class: Rank-2 Lightning Magician. Nickname: God Tian Zhi. Battlezone: Seunmida Nation.]
[10th place: Level 14. Class: Rank-2 Swordsman. Nickname: Dugu Wenjian. Battlezone: Hua Nation.]
The level rankings had changed greatly!
This was because after leaving the starter village, the leaderboard would gather everyone from hundreds of countries.
Chu Bai was still first!
The second-place Emperor was indeed a very powerful existence.
In Hua Nation, there were some extremely fearsome forces, and there was a group of people who were known as Hua Nation's geniuses.
They were the most outstanding young people in Hua Nation and were very powerful. It was said that the Emperor was the king and number one genius in Hua Nation.
Feng Ling, Dugu Wenjian, and the others were all experts as well.
Shadow was the number one assassin player in the world! Chu Bai had fought with him before! He was very strong, and there were wins and losses. Sometimes, he was no match for him at all, and his speed was so fast that it was hard to grasp.
Black Flame was ranked fourth. He was a very famous player, a frightening existence from Merica Nation's Marquis family.
It was the same for Apollo, who was in fifth place.
"Moon?"
Chu Bai looked at the ID of the Sakura Nation player and frowned.
It was an absolutely unfamiliar ID.
Seventh, eighth…
"Dark Night, Dark Sky… Is it still around?"
Chu Bai frowned.
There was a force that was feared both in reality and in the game. It was called the Dark Tower.
The members of this organization, be it in real life or in the game, killed for fun. 𝘣𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮
They were not tolerated by anyone, but each of their members was extremely powerful. If one encountered them, it was basically impossible to escape death.
This was an evil organization that had not been eradicated for many years.
Chu Bai had crossed paths with them a few times before, but he had killed them all. However, each of them had terrifying strength. Other than their powerful attributes, their actual combat standards were very high.
"I have to go level up."
Chu Bai closed the ranking.
It was more difficult for him to level up, and these people would slowly catch up.
However, before he could level up, Chu Bai had to go and appraise his equipment.
He had quite a few pieces of good equipment on him.
Chu Bai walked toward the swordsman.
"Don't cut the queue. Line up if you want a class change," the swordsman said without even raising his head.
"It's great God Bai Ye!"
The players who were queuing to change their classes were all shocked when they saw Chu Bai's ID.
"F*ck! I'm actually in the same city as God Bai Ye."
"Great God Bai Ye hasn't changed his class yet, right? Everyone on the rankings is in the second rank, and only God Bai Ye is still a swordsman."
"Great God Bai Ye, stab me, stab me! I'll let you cut the queue!"
"God Bai Ye, you're the big boss of our country! That I am God of Sakura Nation didn't even make it into the trash ranking, hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter."
…
"No need, I just want to ask something," Chu Bai said.
When the swordsman saw Chu Bai, he immediately coughed.
"Oh, it's you. What's the matter?"
"Where can I appraise equipment around here?"
"There's only one appraisal shop in our city right now, and it's at the city gate," the swordsman said.
"Many thanks."
Then, Chu Bai walked away.
Why were there so few appraisers?
The reason was simple. Without the patronage of players, an appraiser might not earn enough.
However, as more and more players visited the various major cities, more and more appraisers would appear.
"It's Bai Ye!"
In the city, a few Sakura Nation players looked at Chu Bai, and their eyes narrowed.
"Idiot! This is the Bai Ye who caused the progress of our Sakura Nation to be delayed by two days! Kill him!"
"But… Isn't he very powerful? Can we kill him?"
"Look at the level rankings. What's there to be afraid of? He hasn't even completed his second class upgrade yet. We've already completed our second class upgrade. What's there to be afraid of?!"
…
Chu Bai was walking forward when he noticed a few people walking quickly toward him from behind.
"Break the Sky!"
Whoosh!
A Sakura Nation swordsman player held a katana in his hand and charged toward Chu Bai from behind.
Chu Bai did not even turn back. He even dodged to the side, and the man missed.
As the Sakura Nation swordsman missed, the other four immediately surrounded Chu Bai.
Chapter 74
There were many players in the city.
The situation here quickly attracted the attention of a large number of players around!
"Woof! F*cking Sakura Nation brats f*cking with our God Bai Ye?"
"We can't let them have their way! Brothers in the Hua Nation battlezone, follow me!"
"F*ck! They started fighting in the city? Do you really think that there's no one in the Hua Nation battlezone?"
…
In an instant, more than 20 Hua Nation players had surrounded the five Sakura Nation players.
"Idiot! What do you want to do? Hurry up and get lost, or you'll die!"
The Sakura Nation player with the ID Yamamoto 88 held a samurai sword with both hands and glanced at the dozens of Hua Nation players.
In the game, players from different countries spoke different languages, but the system would automatically translate what the players heard into a language they could understand.
Therefore, they could understand what Yamamoto 88 was saying. Naturally, the few people from Sakura Nation could understand what they were saying as well.
"Yo, this little brat from Sakura Nation is quite arrogant. Brothers, blow these people up!"
Chu Bai had originally planned to make a move, but when he saw that the Hua Nation players wanted to make a move, he knew it would be easy for 20-odd players to take on five of them. He simply walked away.
However…
"Do you dare?! I'm a member of the Black Dragon Gang! Whoever dares to touch me will die," Yamamoto 88 said angrily.
Hearing this, the Hua Nation players looked at each other with fear.
The Black Dragon Gang was a very powerful guild in Sakura Nation. It was similar to the Feng Ling Dynasty and the World of Sword.
The boss behind the Black Dragon Gang was someone they were familiar with. I am God was the leader of the Black Dragon Gang.
If the Black Dragon Gang wanted to gather players in Liuzhou City, they would probably be able to gather tens of thousands of people in a short time.
As for these players, they were alone and weak. Once they were targeted, they would probably not survive.
Most importantly, among the territories of the humans, monsters, demons, beasts, and gods, there were territories that belonged to the players of each country.
Some people would be more inclined to go to the territories of their own countries' battlezones instead of staying in the public areas where NPCs and players from various countries were present. This was because players could not go to the territories of other battlezones, which was safer.
The Sakura Nation's territory was not far from Liuzhou City, and the nearby cities all belonged to the Sakura Nation. If they provoked the Sakura Nation, those people would be able to gather a large number of players in a short time.
"Hmph! Cowards from Hua Nation." After coldly snorting, Yamamoto 88 then shouted, "Kill Bai Ye."
"Got it!"
"Talent, Wither."
[Ding. You're immune to the attribute debuffs.]
Whoosh!
After that, a black light flickered on Yamamoto 88's body.
"Samurai's Eight Consecutive Strikes." 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝙤𝙢
He charged toward Chu Bai at an extremely fast speed.
Chu Bai instantly used the God Slaying Calamity.
"A Ruling Blow."
Chu Bai's sword pierced his chest.
-670!
Yamamoto 88's health bar had dropped by one-third.
It was probably close to 2,000 HP.
It was very normal. Players who had completed their second class upgrade could basically gain more than 10,00 HP and mana.
One strike, two seconds of stun.
Yamamoto 88 was stunned on the spot.
"Blade Waltz."
Then, Chu Bai turned into a beam of white light and pierced his opponent's body continuously.
-670, -670!
Yamamoto 88 was killed in seconds!
After the instant kill, Blade Waltz refreshed its cooldown.
Chu Bai then released it on another person.
Instant kill, cooldown refreshed!
Another second and another refresh!
In just five seconds, the five of them were instantly killed by Blade Waltz five times.
Chu Bai kept the equipment they dropped and headed toward the city gate.
"F*ck! God Bai Ye is awesome! This skill… Oh my God, he's so handsome!"
"This group of fools, why didn't they take a look at themselves first? They dared to besiege God Bai Ye with just five of them? Even a few hundred people from the Feng Ling Dynasty wouldn't be enough."
"They probably saw that great God Bai Ye didn't go through the second transition, so they dared to do it. Speaking of which, why didn't God Bai Ye go through the second class?"
…
Old Dream Tianyu and his men were not far away.
"Bai Ye! I'm actually in the same city as him!"
He clenched his fists tightly and took out his communicator.
"Guild Leader, I've met Bai Ye. He's in Liuzhou City, the same city as me. He fought with the Sakura Nation's Black Dragon Gang. I'll gather the members of the Feng Ling Dynasty here and work with the Black Dragon Gang to kill him.
Feng Ling hesitated for a moment.
"Don't kill him."
"What?"
Old Dream Tianyu was stunned.
Feng Ling still wanted Chu Bai's pet, but…
If Chu Bai could be killed, he would let Old Dream Tianyu capture his pet first and then trade him for it.
"There's no need to rush. We'll act according to the situation. By the way, if you succeed, do your best to subdue his pet."
"Understood!"
…
At the resurrection point.
Yamamoto 88 gritted his teeth!
"Idiot! Idiot!"
He cursed in anger!
Then, he took out his communicator in anger.
"Leader, we've been killed by the Hua Nation players!"
An angry curse was heard from the other end, "A bunch of f*cking idiots! Who in Hua Nation dares to touch the Black Dragon Gang? Who is it?"
"It's Bai Ye!"
"Bai Ye? The player who ranks first on the level rankings? He's also in Liuzhou City?"
"Yes, he is."
The other side was silent for two seconds before he shouted, "Gather the members of the Black Dragon Gang and kill Bai Ye!"
…
Chu Bai went to the appraisal shop.
There was a sign at the door of the appraisal shop.
It stated that the shop was having a 30% discount for a limited time, and there was a lucky draw discount, which could fetch a further discount.
Chu Bai walked in.
The appraisal shop's business was not good. After all, the players had just left the starter villages and there were very few players who needed to get their things appraised.
The boss was sleeping soundly on the table.
[Shopowner Sun: the owner of an appraisal shop in Liuzhou City. He's in charge of appraising equipment.]
"Mister, please appraise a few pieces of equipment I have here."
Chu Bai placed the Gold equipment Blade of Brutality, Gluttony Armor, and Demonic Dragon Wicked Armor, the Divine Emperor equipment Demonic Dragon Cloak, and the Saint Destroyer equipment Demonic Dragon Three Illusions Bow on the table.
The reason why he wanted to appraise the Demonic Dragon Three Illusions Bow was that he could sell it after he was done.
The old man raised his head.
This was a man with unkempt hair and a dirty face.
He glanced at the equipment, then yawned and said, "Gold equipment one gold, Dark Demon ten gold, Divine Emperor 500 gold, Saint Destroyer 1,000 gold."
This price was actually quite normal.
The appraisal fee for Gold-grade equipment was 100 gold coins, 1,000 for Dark Demon-grade, 5,000 for Divine Emperor-grade, and 1,000 for Saint Destroyer-grade!
Saint Destroyer-grade equipment was too rare. As long as one had the qualifications to appraise Saint Destroyer-grade equipment, the 1,000 gold coins would not be a problem.
However, Chu Bai was still quite surprised.
To appraise a Saint Destroyer-grade artifact required a Saint Destroyer-grade appraisal technique. This tiny Liuzhou City actually had an appraiser with a Saint Destroyer-grade appraisal technique. This was not simple.
"I saw that the shop is offering a 30% discount. Is this the price before the discount?"
"Yes, the price is before the discount." The shop owner nodded.
"After the discount, the appraisal fee for these pieces of equipment will come to a total of 1,057 gold coins and seven silver coins."
"Where's the lottery?" Chu Bai asked.
The boss yawned again and pointed to a box next to him in a listless manner.
"Inside. It goes up to 10%. You can draw it yourself."
Chu Bai then walked over and randomly picked a piece of paper to open.
"10% off."
"Pfft!"
The owner took a look and immediately spat out the water in his mouth!
There were thousands of lots in there, and there was only one for a 10% discount. He just took it like that?
F*ck!
Shopowner Sun gritted his teeth and said, "Your appraisal fee is 105 gold coins, seven silver coins, and seven copper coins. You need to pay first before the appraisal."
"Oh?" Chu Bai scratched his head and asked, "Do I get a 50% discount with the destiny epaulet?"
Shopowner Sun was speechless.
Chapter 75
Mr. Sun raised his head and stared at the destiny epaulet on Chu Bai's chest in shock! 𝚋edn𝚘𝚟el.co𝚖
"It's a destiny epaulet! You've cleared the abyss-level Tower of Trials?" he asked Chu Bai.
"Yes."
Chu Bai nodded.
"You're good."
He seemed to be in high spirits. Then, he took Chu Bai's equipment and said, "Just give me 52 gold coins."
Chu Bai took out 53 gold coins and handed them over.
"53. That's a big bargain."
Shopowner Sun was speechless.
F*ck!
Whoosh!
Then, with a flash of gold, he threw the Blade of Brutality to Chu Bai.
[Blade of Brutality. Grade: Gold. Level: 15. Usage requirements: assassin.]
[Attributes: Strength +20, Attack +110. All attacks that hit the enemy will steal 1% of the target's attributes, up to 100%. Lasts until the end of the battle.]
[Skills-Brutal: upon activation, the first attack will be a guaranteed critical hit, and the critical damage will be increased by 50%. Cooldown time: 30 seconds.]
This equipment was simply tailor-made for assassins.
A black light flashed, and the second item was appraised.
Chu Bai took it.
[Gluttony Armor. Grade: Dark Demon. Level: 20. Usage requirements: any class.]
[Attributes: HP +900, Defense +110, Miss rate +20%, all damage received reduced by 10%, critical damage reduced by 50%.]
[Skills-Gluttony: after activation, a shield that can block 1,000 damage will be formed. If magic damage is taken during this period, the full damage will be dealt, and the damage will be converted into shield points. Lasts for ten seconds. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
"What a good piece of equipment!"
The effect of this equipment was quite good!
This was especially true for skills. The shield could block 1,000 points, and magic damage would be added to the shield.
The most important thing was that if the magic damage took 200 HP from Chu Bai but it was blocked by Chu Bai's defense and only caused one point of damage, it would cause the increase in his shield value to be almost negligible!
However, the effect of this skill was similar to how magic damage ignored Chu Bai's defense during this period of time. If it could deal 200 damage, it would mean that Chu Bai had 200 HP. However, Chu Bai would not lose any HP and his shield's defense would not be reduced. Instead, the 200 points would be added to his shield.
That was why Chu Bai said that this equipment was very powerful.
"This one's a little weak. If you want to use it, you can use Dark Demon armor."
Shopowner Sun threw the Demonic Dragon Wicked Armor to Chu Bai.
Chu Bai took a look. It was indeed a little weak, and it was Level 15.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, a dazzling white and gold light flashed.
"Good stuff!"
Shopowner Sun's eyes lit up as he passed the Demonic Dragon Cloak to Chu Bai.
[Demonic Dragon Cloak. Grade: Divine Emperor. Level: 20. Usage requirements: any melee class.]
[Attributes: three fixed attributes +10, Miss rate +10, Movement speed +100%, Jumping height +100%.]
[Passive skills- Flight: when equipped with the Demonic Dragon Cloak, the user can enter flight mode for a maximum of 20 meters. During flight, movement speed increases by 50%. Melee attacks can't be used in flight.]
[Shadow Clone: can release two clones. The clones can't attack and have the same health, defense, and speed as the user. The shadow clones can last for a maximum of one minute. Cooldown time: ten minutes.]
"Flying equipment!"
Chu Bai's eyes suddenly lit up!
This was Divine Emperor-grade equipment, and it gave Chu Bai even greater mobility!
For a piece of flying equipment, its attributes were not important. The most important thing was its flight!
This kind of flying equipment could only be found in the later stages of the game. In reality, not many people could fly here and there. Even if they could do it, they relied more on items than equipment!
This was a piece of flying equipment with no time limit!
For a player, it was ridiculous to be able to fly at an even faster speed.
"This equipment… How strong! Where did you get it from?" Shopowner Sun passed the Demonic Dragon Three Illusions Bow to Chu Bai and asked in shock.
"Is it very strong? I just killed a boss."
Chu Bai then took a look.
[Demonic Dragon Three Illusions Bow. Grade: Saint Destroyer. Level: 40. Usage requirement: archer.]
[Attributes: Strength +100, Attack +1300, Critical Chance +30%, Headshot damage increased by 100%, Attack Speed +100%, Range +100%.]
[Passive skills-Accuracy: all attacks will hit.]
[Three Illusion Powers: all attacks will fire three arrows at once.]
[Active skills-Lock: after activation, all arrows will hit the enemy's head for the next ten seconds. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
[Full Power: when activated, attack power doubles, attack speed increases by 500%, and bow and arrow flight speed increases by 500%. Every draw of the bow will fire ten arrows for 15 seconds. Cooldown time: one hour.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
F*ck!
Was this Saint Destroyer-grade weapon not a little too ridiculous?
It was so ridiculous that Chu Bai wanted to go for the archer class.
The archer class's advantage was its attack range of 50 meters. Among all the classes, the attack range of archers was the longest, and it could even double that!
There was also one more thing that was unique to archers, and that was headshots!
If it hit the head, the damage would double, which was equivalent to a critical hit!
This equipment had a guaranteed hit, AoE, lock, and burst!
One could imagine that the player who was fighting with this bow was a division.
Chu Bai could not bear to sell this equipment.
If he sold it to an enemy, it would be a great threat to him in the future, and he would be killed instantly.
Chu Bai equipped the Gluttony Armor and Demonic Dragon Cloak.
"Thank you, Shopowner Sun," Chu Bai said.
"You're welcome,"
"I'll come here more often in the future," Chu Bai said.
Shopowner Sun's mouth twitched.
He did not want this kid to come here often.
"Go, go."
"Thanks."
Then, Chu Bai walked out with a smile.
Shopowner Sun looked at Chu Bai's back.
"The person who cleared the abyss-level Tower of Trials, the chosen one, took out so many pieces of top-grade equipment as soon as he left the starter village. He's indeed extraordinary."
Chu Bai walked toward the city gate after he left, feeling refreshed.
There were missions here, and Chu Bai planned to take them and level up at the same time.
Just as he walked out, a system notification came.
[Ding. Hua Nation battlezone player Dugu Wenjian made a global announcement: Brother Bai Ye, I'm Dugu Wenjian. May I ask if you'll sell me your pet, the Calamity Fox, for ten billion? If you agree, please contact the members of the World of Sword, or you can also make a global system announcement to answer me. I'll reimburse you for the expenses, thank you.]
Whoosh!
His words caused a thousand waves.
"F*ck! God Dugu Wenjian wants to buy God Bai Ye's Calamity Fox for one billion! F*ck! A billion!"
"We've only been playing this game for less than a week, and Bai Ye can already earn one billion? Oh my God! I'm so envious."
"He'll definitely sell it, right? Although his pet was indeed quite powerful… it's one billion! How many days has it been since the server opened? He can find other pets later on and earn this one billion first."
…
The crowd was in a heated discussion.
Feng Ling's eyes narrowed!
"Dugu Wenjian!"
He frowned!
As expected, he was not the only one coveting the Calamity Fox!
Dugu Wenjian was lying in a luxurious room in the game, waiting for news.
"President, he'll probably sell it. One billion is not a small price. The most important thing is that the game has only been open for a few days. He'll definitely think that the pets in the future will be more powerful. He'll definitely sell it."
Dugu Wenjian also nodded his head. "Yes, I think so. The World of Sword did have some conflicts with him in the past. However, no one would be against such a huge sum of money."
Then, the system's notification sound came.
"Here he is." Dugu Wenjian laughed.
[Ding. Attention all players around the world, Hua Nation battlezone player Bai Ye has released a global system announcement. The content of the announcement is as follows: Can you be sold?]
Dugu Wenjian was speechless.
Everyone was speechless.
Chapter 76
The entire game seemed to be silent for a second.
After that…
Whoosh!
It directly exploded!
"F*ck! God Bai Ye isn't selling? He's not selling?"
"Woah! He's so tough! Has God Bai Ye always been so tough? Hahaha!"
"To be fair, I don't think God Bai Ye is in need of money. He made two global system announcements in the starter village, and now he made another one. That's three million."
"Hahahaha! Was it because of the ambush at the starter village that pissed off God Bai Ye? God Bai Ye, I love you, hahaha!"
…
Dugu Wenjian's smile froze on his face.
He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were bloodshot!
"Bai Ye! I want you dead!"
…
"God Bai Ye, God Bai Ye! Look, it's the great God Bai Ye!"
"F*ck! Hahaha, God Bai Ye, you're too fierce! Other than idol Bai Feng, you're the second person to go against the World of Sword so mercilessly. It's so cool!"
"Yeah, those people look down on everyone else. I don't like them, but no one dares to provoke them. God Bai Ye is awesome!"
…
A group of players surrounded Chu Bai at the mission board.
"You're welcome," Chu Bai said casually, then looked at the missions.
The missions were divided into E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS ranks. There were prerequisites if players wanted to accept a mission.
For example, in the S-rank mission to find the demon spirit flower, the mission clearly stated that to accept it, one needed to be Level 15 and have a reputation of 2,000.
It was easy to reach Level 15 but not to gain 2,000 reputation points. In the early stages of the game, other than being the first to kill a boss, there were very few ways to earn reputation points!
99% of the people had zero reputation points.
However, the average player would not dare to accept an S-rank mission.
In the end, Chu Bai's attention was focused on an SSS-rank mission.
[City Lord's Mansion's Mission-Kill the beast king. Mission level: SSS. Reputation: 100,000. Mission reward: Level-20 Gold equipment *1, level-20 Silver equipment *5, gold coins *100, advanced health potions *10, advanced mana potions *10. This is a mission issued by the city lord's mansion. Please go to the city lord's mansion to learn more about the mission details.]
Why did Chu Bai accept this mission?
This was because this mission had the highest requirement for reputation points, which was 100,000!
The others were at most 10,000 reputation points.
The mission reward was actually quite ridiculous.
Five pieces of Silver-grade equipment and one piece of Gold-grade equipment were worth millions!
Moreover, the content seemed to be about killing a large number of monsters, just in line with Chu Bai's thoughts about farming.
Chu Bai tore the mission notice.
[Ding. You've accepted the mission 'Kill the Beast King'. Please head to the city lord's mansion.]
"Young hero!"
An old man walked to Chu Bai's side. "You want to accept this mission, right? I'm the steward of the city lord. Please follow me. "
Then, Chu Bai followed him to the city lord's residence.
"The city lord is in the study. Please come in."
He opened the door of the study and bowed.
"Many thanks."
Chu Bai then walked in.
"Hahaha, brave adventurer from another world, please take a seat!" the city lord greeted Chu Bai with a smile.
"Many thanks, City Lord." 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Chu Bai sat down.
"Wow, you sound quite young. I'm surprised that you're qualified to take on the mission," the city lord said with a smile. Then, he casually glanced around and suddenly saw the destiny epaulet on Chu Bai's chest!
"That's… Is that a destiny epaulet?"
The city lord's eyes widened as he stood up in shock.
"It's the Son of Destiny! The Son of Destiny has arrived in my Liuzhou City. I'm sorry that I didn't welcome you personally!
The city lord hurriedly cupped his fists toward Chu Bai.
[Ding. +20 favorable impression of you from the city lord of Liuzhou City.]
This epaulet was amazing.
"You're too kind, City Lord. Tell me about the mission."
The city lord sat down and nodded. "To the west of our Liuzhou City is the demon race. It's not far from the beast race in the north. However, we're not in the northernmost part of the Kamikaze Empire. The beast race has a small area that goes deep into the middle of the Kamikaze Empire and the demon race. It reaches the north of Liuzhou City. That place is called the Ice and Fire Plains.
"The terrain of the Ice and Fire Plains is complicated. There are depressions, high mountains, snow, and volcanoes. However, that area is rich in mineral resources. It was originally under the jurisdiction of our Liuzhou City, but it's being occupied by the beast race."
Chu Bai nodded.
"There's a beast king in the deepest part of the Ice and Fire Plains. He's very powerful and is at least a Dark Demon. I've sent troops to attack him a few times, but only a few people have returned alive. The city needs to be developed, and development requires resources. So, honorable chosen one, can you help me go to the Ice and Fire Plains and eliminate the beast king?"
Chu Bai nodded. "Okay, I'll try…"
"Many thanks! But you must be careful. I saw many adventurers from other worlds heading there. There are many beasts and monsters there, so I hope there won't be any danger. Take this."
The city lord then handed Chu Bai a talisman.
[Ding. You've received an elementary defense talisman.]
Perhaps this was also due to luck.
[Elementary defense talisman. Effect: when worn, it can resist 1,000 points of damage. It'll disappear after the block ends.]
"Thank you, City Lord. I'll go now!"
"Be careful!"
After that, Chu Bai left Liuzhou City and headed toward the Ice and Fire Plains in the northwest.
At the city gate, Yamamoto 88 was guarding with dozens of Black Dragon Gang members. When he saw Chu Bai leave, he quickly took out his communicator.
"Leader, where are you? How far away are you? I saw Bai Ye leaving Liuzhou city."
"Stop him," a voice came from the communicator.
"Got it!"
Then, Yamamoto 88 raised his katana and shouted, "Black Dragon Gang, let's kill Bai Ye together!"
"Ha!"
They shouted in unison.
However…
Chu Bai activated the flying effect of the Demonic Dragon Cloak and flew directly into the air. His speed increased by 50%, and he was traveling at a faster speed!
"F*ck! God Bai Ye is flying!"
"What the f*ck? When did flying devices appear? Could it be a piece of equipment? I'm so jealous."
"There are dozens of people from the damn Black Dragon Gang. They can't be trying to kill Bai Ye, right?"
…
Yamamoto 88 looked up at Chu Bai, who was flying, with a dumbfounded expression.
"Leader, he… he flew away."
"What? He can fly?" A roar came from the communicator.
Just as Yamamoto 88 was about to say something, he suddenly saw Chu Bai turn back.
"Leader, he's flying back.
"Leader! He seems to be using a skill.
"Leader, what a huge phoenix!"
Yamamoto 88's eyes widened.
Boom!
-6,700!
A huge flame burned the area filled with Sakura Nation players. Then, Chu Bai left.
After the fire died down, all the players in its radius were instantly killed.
Everyone was speechless.
A Sakura Nation player who was not within range ran over and picked up the smoking communicator that had been dropped on the ground by Yamamoto 88.
"L-Leader, Yamamoto 88… He's dead."
Chapter 77
Chu Bai's methods shocked the people around him.
"Oh my God! God Bai Ye is so ruthless! But it's so satisfying. These Sakura Nation players are all crazy and have a huge prejudice against us Hua Nation players. It's so satisfying to see so many of them killed by God Bai Ye!"
"Especially that guy with the ID of Yamamoto 88. He was killed by God Bai Ye twice, so he's completely dead! Look, you're completely dead now, aren't you?"
"But… Great God Bai Ye has completely offended the Black Dragon Gang, the World of Sword, and the Feng Ling Dynasty. F*ck! I feel that God Bai Ye is in grave danger."
!
…
In reality, murder was a crime!
In the game, there were no rules that restricted players!
Although one would really die… everyone had tacitly agreed that killing was allowed here.
This was because killing people here would not bring about the same sense of guilt as in real life, and there would not be any bloodshed.
Moreover, in reality, the relationship between the countries was tense. Besides, due to the advanced technology, once they started fighting, the world could be destroyed. Therefore, the countries signed contracts to resolve their grudges in the game.
All was fine as long as one did not kill for the sake of killing.
Take the Dark Tower for example. The members of this organization killed people for the sake of killing. They also killed people for fun and for treasures.
When one entered this game, one had to be prepared to be killed. One would pay the price for one's choice.
In a war between guilds, there were countless deaths. Since players chose to work for their bosses, or rather, work for the sake of benefits, then their deaths could only mean that they were not strong enough and had chosen the wrong side.
However, in a guild war, guilds would usually buy the guild death exemption qualification. Simply put, once they bought it, even if players died a hundred times, they would only lose a level and a piece of equipment.
…
Ice and Fire Plains.
Chu Bai landed on the ground.
The area ahead was flat, and there were many players from various countries!
They were all farming monsters.
It was obvious that this place was very close to Liuzhou City, so the players nearby must be using this place as a farming spot.
Chu Bai looked forward.
There was a mountain a few thousand meters ahead. There were plains on this side, covered with shallow frost-like snow. Further away, there were red and white patches, which looked like snow and volcanoes.
Chu Bai went further ahead.
"Let's start from here."
Chu Bai scanned his surroundings. There were quite a few players.
Roar!
A wolf stood not far away from Chu Bai, staring at him with its red eyes.
[Snowfield Lone Wolf. Level: 12. Grade: Bronze. HP: 2,500. A beast from the Ice and Fire Plains. Lives in groups, fast, strong attack.]
[Skills—Leap Strike: Leaps up and lands on a unit, then extends its claws and deals 100% critical damage. Cooldown time: 15 seconds.]
[Vertical Shadow Attack: the body is so fast that it almost turns into a shadow, and it continuously flashes toward a target, causing damage. Cooldown time: 30 seconds.]
"Are these the creatures outside the starter village?"
This should be the lowest level of creatures.
However, from its attributes to skills, they were not simple.
Chu Bai used the God Slaying Calamity and bowed slightly.
In the surroundings, a few other wolves circled Chu Bai, looking for an opportunity to attack.
Whoosh!
Chu Bai made the first move. He used Ruling Strike on the wolf.
It was impossible for the Snowfield Lone Wolf to dodge the attack.
-670!
After getting hit, it was dealt with two seconds of stun.
Then, Chu Bai's attacks landed.
-670, -670, -670!
Instant kill.
Roar!
Around him, five Snowfield Lone Wolves charged at Chu Bai from five different directions.
"Blade Waltz!"
Swoosh! 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝙤𝙢
With Chu Bai's attack power, even if none of the five stages of damage triggered the double effect, he would still be able to kill them in an instant!
Five times of 670 would be 3,350. The minimum kill point of this skill was 3,350. As long as the creature's HP did not exceed this number, Chu Bai could continue to use it.
After the instant kill, the cooldown would be refreshed!
He kept on releasing and instant killing! He simply could not be stopped!
The most important thing was that the newly drawn SSS-grade talent, Super Reduction, allowed him to have no consumption of skills!
He did not have to worry about not having enough mana and could use his skills without any restraint!
...
"Huh?"
Many of the surrounding players were stunned when they saw the situation!
"F*ck! What the hell? You can farm creatures like this?"
"Killing one in a second, then instantly using the same skill to kill another one, and then using it again and again. There's no stopping it. What the hell? Does the skill have no cooldown? Oh, it's great God Bai Ye. It's fine, then."
"No wonder God Bai Ye's level is so high. If I could farm creatures like this, it would be weird if my level was low.
…
After releasing the skill dozens of times, Chu Bai landed on the ground.
"F*ck, I'm a little dizzy."
He swayed for a moment and then looked ahead.
"Let's go deeper."
The creatures here could be killed by one Blade Waltz. Although he farmed quickly, the experience was not enough for him, and he was too dizzy.
...
He would go deeper and farm at the same time.
Very quickly, Chu Bai arrived at the foot of the volcano.
There was a beast called Fire Boar nearby.
There were also quite a few people farming here.
One of the larger boars attracted Chu Bai's attention.
[Fire Boar. Level: 15. Grade: Bronze Boss. HP: 8,000. A fire-type monster in the Ice and Fire Plains, strong defense, strong attack.]
[Skills—Flame Rush: rushes to a target quickly. During the rush, control effects are ignored. After hitting the enemy, it'll cause damage and send the enemy flying. There's a 20% chance of a five-second burn effect. Cooldown time: ten seconds.]
[Low Pulse: stomps hard and hits the enemy with a rock, causing enemy damage and to fly. Cooldown time: 30 seconds.]
"Bronze boss. That's good."
Chu Bai was about to rush over.
"Hey, you over there, we saw this boss first. Step back."
On the left, three blonde players from foreign battlefields were pointing at Chu Bai as they walked over.
With the system's automatic translation, Chu Bai understood what they were saying.
Chu Bai ignored them and charged toward the Fire Boar.
"Hmph~"
The Fire Boar's eyes turned red when it saw someone charging toward it.
Then, it stomped its front foot, and a rock suddenly jutted out from under Chu Bai.
However, Chu Bai was faster. When the rock protruded, he had already left that spot.
"F*ck! F*ck! He's snatching the beast that we saw first? Kill him!" the leading player with the ID Lonely King scolded.
After that…
"Triple Flame Slash!"
-1,340, -670, -1,340!
"Blade Waltz!"
-670, -1,340, -670, -670, -1,340!
8,000 HP, instant kill!
The three of them stood there with their eyes wide open.
What did they just see?
A Level-15 Bronze boss was instantly killed by two skills?
As for the damage… It broke a thousand a few times.
After their second class upgrade, their attack power was less than 200, but this person…
What attribute was it?
Chu Bai turned around and looked at the three of them after picking up the equipment.
"What did you say? You guys saw the beast first?"
Gulp!
They swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"No… No. No, we didn't."
They quickly shook their heads.
"But I already heard you."
They looked at each other, and the player whose ID was translated as Lonely King gritted his teeth.
"His skills are on cooldown. Kill him! Drop his equipment!"
The other two clearly had the same intention.
Chapter 78
Of course, they had seen Chu Bai's ID. He was God Bai Ye.
There was no one who did not know him!
After all, Chu Bai was the only one who made all the announcements in the world.
However, they did not know how strong Chu Bai was!
Players in the early stages of the game did not have many skills. They had just seen Chu Bai use two powerful skills to kill the boss. Even though the damage was high, how could the three of them not kill him, especially when his skills were on cooldown?
"Tom, mark him directly. David, slow down his movement speed," Lonely King shouted.
"OK!"
Then, the two of them released their skills at Chu Bai!
"Talent, hit the mark!"
"Slow Down!"
The system notification rang out in Chu Bai's mind.
[Ding. You've been marked by 'Impact Mark'. For the next 20 seconds, the damage you receive will be increased by 100%.]
[Ding. You're immune to the speed reduction effect.]
Lonely King sneered.
"Tyrant Body Halo."
Lonely King released his skill, and golden halos appeared on the three of them at the same time.
This was also the reason why they dared to go against Chu Bai!
Impact Mark increased damage, Slow Down reduced Chu Bai's agility, and Tyrant Body Halo made the three of them immune to crowd control once. At the same time, the damage they received for 20 seconds was reduced by 50%.
So, why could they not fight Bai Ye, who did not even have his skills?
"Go!"
Lonely King charged at Chu Bai with his sword.
The other two were long-range.
One was a summoner, and the other was an archer!
"Three consecutive shots!"
Whoosh!
Three arrows were shot at Chu Bai along with the king.
"Summon, Earth Devil!"
A huge monster was summoned from a magical formation, and it charged toward Chu Bai.
"Let's see how good this so-called number one Bai Ye is! Chaotic Slash!"
He leaped up, spinning his body as he hacked at Chu Bai.
Chu Bai stood there, holding the God Slaying Calamity.
"Ruling Strike!"
Whoosh!
With his extreme speed, he ignored Lonely King who was rushing over. He instantly passed by the Earth Devil and rushed to the front of the archer.
The archer was still drawing his bow and had no time to react. Chu Bai's sword had already stabbed him.
-335!
Chu Bai could ignore defense, but he could not ignore the effect of having his damage reduced by half.
[Ding. You've been stunned.]
Tom was stunned by the strike.
Lonely King landed on the ground and hit nothing.
As for the summoner, he could not fight in close combat at all, so he could only summon monsters to fight.
"Detestable! Wasn't his speed reduced? How did he do it so quickly?"
Lonely King gritted his teeth and rushed over again.
Chu Bai had already started to attack David.
-335, -335!
He was stunned and unable to move, but his eyes were open. One could see that he was extremely helpless at this moment.
1,000 HP. It had reduced his health bar by nearly half.
The killing move had arrived.
"Blade Waltz!"
The moment Lonely King charged over, Chu Bai was unable to select.
His attack missed again.
-335, -335, -335!
After the end of Blade Waltz, the archer was instantly killed.
"Tom!" Lonely King shouted.
...
"F*ck you! F*ck you!" He stared at Chu Bai and cursed.
Chu Bai smiled and gave him the middle finger, "F*ck your mother."
Lonely King gritted his teeth.
"Flash Strike."
Whoosh!
This attack was like Chu Bai's Judgment. It was extremely fast and instantly hit Chu Bai.
-39!
"What the?"
Lonely King was stunned.
Many of the foreigners did not know how powerful Chu Bai was. The videos and posts in Hua Nation could not be circulated overseas.
Other than some very powerful foreign players with methods and backgrounds who could easily see them, other players rarely saw them!
...
This included the piece of news that the World of Sword and the other players only dealt one point of damage to Chu Bai.
"The damage is quite high." Chu Bai looked at Lonely King and sneered.
Lonely King was speechless.
He dodged the Earth Devil's Sudden Thrust and the attacks of the summoned monsters.
"Now it's my turn. Blade Waltz."
Whoosh!
Chu Bai immediately disappeared from his spot.
Lonely King's health bar continued to drop. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝘮
-335, -670, -335, -335, -335!
He still had a quarter of his health left after this set of attacks.
"F*ck!"
Lonely King was shocked. He quickly put some distance between himself and Chu Bai and quickly healed himself!
"You want to heal?" Chu Bai sped up and caught up to him.
However…
A few summoned monsters blocked Chu Bai's path.
-670!
-670!
Chu Bai dodged backward.
F*ck!
He did not care about the summoner and summoned more than a dozen monsters?
They were indeed not weak!
Chu Bai's gaze turned to the summoner.
"With me here, don't even think about killing me. All summoned beasts, charge!" the summoner shouted with his staff in hand.
"It's really disgusting."
Chu Bai's hand that was holding the God Slaying Calamity tightened.
"Shadow Clone."
[Shadow Clone: can release two clones. The clones can't attack and have the same health, defense, and speed as the user. The shadow clones can last for a maximum of one minute. Cooldown time: ten minutes.]
It was the skill that came with the Demonic Dragon Cloak.
Then, two clones appeared on the same spot.
Chu Bai controlled his two clones to charge into the group of summoned beasts while he leaped.
What?!
The summoner and Lonely King were both stunned.
What the f*ck?
He could jump so high?
After landing, the summoner was just eight meters in front of Chu Bai.
"Come back, come back quickly!"
He was controlling his summoned beasts.
However…
No matter how he summoned them, they could not be faster than Chu Bai.
"Since you want to protect him, then you can die. Ruling Strike!"
With Super Reduction, Ruling Strike had a cooldown of less than 15 seconds.
Whoosh!
-335!
The damage was not high because the damage they received would be halved.
However…
It was enough to kill him in seconds.
When a summoner was close to a high-attack swordsman like Chu Bai, it was basically a death sentence.
"Triple Flame Slash!"
The 15-second cooldown for Triple Flame Slash was over. Chu Bai activated Divine Slaughter and instantly killed him.
Since the summoner was already dead, the summoned beasts naturally dissipated.
Chu Bai turned his head and looked at Lonely King who was healing himself.
"F*ck! I'm not afraid of you!"
Lonely King looked at Chu Bai with fear.
"Raging Inferno Mountain-Splitting Slash!"
He leaped and slashed at Chu Bai.
Chu Bai did not even move.
-176!
Lonely King was speechless.
F*ck!
His skill only dealt 176 damage?
[Ding. You've obtained the ultimate move, Raging Inferno Mountain-Splitting Slash.]
Lonely King raised his head. When he saw the mocking smile on Chu Bai's face, his eyes narrowed.
"Raging Inferno Mountain-Splitting Slash!"
-2,680!
[Ding. You've triggered the 200% damage effect of Divine Slaughter.]
An instant kill.
The three of them dropped some good pieces of equipment.
"No wonder you could deal nearly 200 damage to my 286 defense. It turns out that you're using a Gold piece of weapon."
With Gold equipment and skills that increased damage, the damage would be high.
If Chu Bai did not have such high defense, this skill would have dealt at least 400 damage to him.
These three players were actually quite skilled, and their attributes were not low.
Chu Bai threw the things into his spatial ring.
"I'm not interested in a piece of Level-10 Gold equipment. I'll sell it when the time comes.
"What's this?"
Chu Bai's gaze fell on a scroll that Lonely king had dropped.
[Mission Book—Volcanic Eruption in the Ice and Fire Plains: there is a volcano that is continuously erupting in the Ice and Fire Plains. There might be a fire-type monster causing trouble there. Please kill it in the Ice and Fire Plains.]
"So it's their mission."
[Ding. You have received a mission exclusive to Merica Nation. If you complete it, Merica Nation will suffer a corresponding loss.]
Chu Bai raised his brows.
He kept walking!
[Ding. All players, it's hereby announced that Hua Nation player Bai Ye has received Merica Nation's exclusive mission—Volcanic Eruption in the Ice and Fire Plains. If he completes the mission, Merica Nation battlezone players will be punished. Please snatch the mission book as soon as possible.]
Chapter 79
The system notification rang in every player's mind.
"What the heck? Our mission was taken away by that Bai Ye from Hua Nation?"
"What punishment will there be? Whose mission was snatched away by Bai Ye? If you don't have the ability, then don't pretend to be all that."
"F*ck! That damned Bai Ye! Where is he? We can't let him complete the mission."
…
When the Hua Nation players heard this, they all laughed.
"F*ck! Great God Bai Ye is awesome! Hahahaha, I've only played the game for a few days, and the two top battlezones that are Sakura Nation and Merica Nation have been conquered by God Bai Ye! It's so cool!"
"God Bai Ye, you must complete their mission, hahahaha!"
…
Lonely King had appeared at the resurrection point!
"F*ck! F*ck! The mission book was dropped!"
He was flustered and exasperated as he listened to the system notification.
This mission was a very difficult SS-rank mission, but with their talent and ability, they could still complete it. The reward was quite generous too.
He did not expect it to be snatched away.
"I know where Bai Ye is. The people of Merica Nation will come with me to capture Bai Ye!" Lonely King shouted.
"Where is he?"
A handsome man with blonde hair and blue eyes walked toward him.
"Great God Arsel?"
Seeing this person, Lonely King was stunned.
He was one of the top 100 masters in Merica Nation!
Moreover, he was known as the King of Merica Nation.
"Mm, where is that Bai Ye?" Arsel asked.
"In the Ice and Fire Plains," Lonely King quickly replied.
"Okay, let me, the king, bring people to exterminate Bai Ye."
Arsel led his men and ran toward the Ice and Fire Plains.
A large number of Merica Nation players also headed to the Ice and Fire Plains.
The players from Merica Nation, who were already in the Ice and Fire Plains, were the first to enter.
…
[Swift Fire Rat. Level: 16. Grade: Bronze. HP: 3,000.
a creature that lives at the foot of the volcano in the Ice and Fire Plains. These rats are managed by the beast king and are used to defend against intruders.]
[Skills—Fireball Impact: releases a fireball to quickly attack the target, causing damage. It has a 10% chance of burning for ten seconds. Cooldown time: ten seconds.]
[Underground Raid: user burrows into the ground, locks onto the target, and attacks from underground, causing damage. Cooldown time: ten seconds.]
"The beast king's subordinate. That means I'm not far from my mission target."
Chu Bai charged toward the Swift Fire Rats.
"Triple Flame Slash!"
"Blade Waltz!"
These two skills did not consume any energy and had short cooldowns, so it was simply too effective in killing creatures with low HP.
"It's too slow to level up like this." Chu Bai sighed, then looked into the distance.
Some of the players had already gone inside.
"Players from Merica Nation?"
That was because Chu Bai saw their blonde hair.
However, there were quite a few rocks here, and it seemed like they did not see Chu Bai.
"Let's farm a little longer."
Chu Bai rushed over again.
…
At the same time, in the depths of the Ice and Fire Plains.
This was a pit, and the surroundings were blocked by mountain rocks.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
With two muffled sounds, a Merica Nation player fell to the ground, covering his bloodied head.
"You dare to kill me? I'm Arsel, the king of Merica Nation! I'm one of the top 100 players in Merica Nation. If you kill me, you're done for."
Arsel supported himself with his elbow on the ground and looked at the figure walking over.
The girl was holding a pan in her hand. She turned to look at the little blue dragon on her shoulder in confusion. She blinked and asked, "Lil Dragon, he said he's a noble of Merica Nation. Are nobles very powerful?"
The cute little dragon also blinked its confused eyes and asked in a child-like voice, "Master, what's a noble?"
...
"Maybe it's similar to the pork trotters in hotpot? Have you ever eaten pork aorta? It's very chewy and super delicious."
The young girl swallowed her saliva.
"Oh… I haven't tried it yet. Master, are you going to bring me to eat hotpot?" The little blue dragon wagged its tail and asked excitedly.
"Okay, I'll bring you to eat beef, lamb, and shrimp."
"Thank you, Master. You're the best."
The corner of the player's mouth twitched, and he looked up at her.
She was so beautiful.
Even though he did not like Eastern beauties, this lady was so beautiful that he felt suffocated.
It was so f*cking ridiculous!
Why were these Hua Nation players getting stronger and stronger?
He was one of the top 100 experts in Merica Nation.
...
He had brought his men over in a hurry to deal with Bai Ye, but the 40 or so people were knocked out one by one by this Hua Nation female player with a frying pan.
From today onward, he would definitely be afraid of the dull sound of the frying pan hitting things.
Then, the girl looked at him.
"I'm talking to you. Have you already resurrected?"
Arsel was stunned once more. "Huh? Yes, why?"
Bang!
Then, she raised the pan and smacked it down on Arsel's head.
"That's good."
After that, the girl happily clapped her hands and picked up all the items that were dropped on the ground.
"I'm so happy. We got good things this time. Lil Dragon, go and collect the treasures of the others. When I log off, I'll bring you to have fun and eat delicious things."
"Yes, yes, okay!"
Whoosh!
Then, the little dragon jumped down, touched the equipment on the ground with its little claws, and all of the pieces of equipment disappeared.
The two of them looked very familiar with each other and were obviously habitual offenders.
Just then, Chu Bai happened to arrive.
"Master, someone's coming."
The little dragon rushed over and landed on the girl's shoulder.
The young girl also raised her head and looked at Chu Bai with her beautiful eyes.
"Wow! He looks very rich. Lil Dragon, look at his equipment and the sword in his hand. Wow, what a nice cloak!"
The young girl's eyes brightened up. She seemed to be very excited.
The little dragon on her shoulder sniffed, then nodded hard. "Yes, yes, yes! Master, I want to snatch his cloak and put it on. "
Lil Dragon and the young girl's eyes were fixed on Chu Bai, not leaving for a moment.
"Lil Dragon, do you think we'll be rich if we rob him?"
"Yes, yes, yes! We'll be rich, we'll be rich! We can eat a lot of delicious food for a long time." Lil Dragon kept nodding. 𝓫ℯ𝓭𝓃𝓸𝓋ℯ𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
"Should we beat him up?" the young girl asked.
"F*ck yes!" the little dragon replied.
Chu Bai's mouth twitched when he heard their conversation.
Was she looking down on him? She was chatting in front of him.
Then, Chu Bai scanned the crime scene around him.
There was a lot of dropped equipment on the ground, and it looked like dozens of people had died.
Could they be the ones who did it?
"Master, but he looks quite powerful. He's definitely stronger than the others." Lil Dragon pointed at Chu Bai with its claws.
"Don't be afraid, I'll hit him with the pan."
Then, she raised her head and looked at Chu Bai with her beautiful eyes. She suddenly started to think.
"Bai Ye… Lil Dragon, don't you think this name sounds a little familiar?"
"Master, I don't know." The little dragon shook its head.
"Forget it, let's knock him down first. After this, we'll go and eat something good."
"Alright, alright!"
Chu Bai narrowed his eyes.
They want to beat him up?
"Are you done chatting?" Chu Bai asked indifferently as he held the God Slaying Calamity.
"Master, Master, why do I feel like he wants to mess with us too?" the little dragon asked.
"Yes, I think so too. Don't be afraid. I remember now. He's Bai Ye, the top player on the level ranking." The young girl suddenly realized something.
"Master, does that mean we can't beat him?"
The young girl's beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Chu Bai.
However, she did not seem to be flustered at all. Instead, she was even more excited.
This was a big player!
Moreover, the more powerful the expert, the more motivated she was!
"Don't be afraid. It's more fun to beat up this kind of expert! After this, we'll have a good meal!"
Whoosh!
Then, she charged at Chu Bai.
Chapter 80
Chu Bai's mouth twitched.
This person was different from the others.
It seemed like she came to mess with him purely because she felt that he was rich and could eat a good meal.
However, if they wanted to mess with him, Chu Bai would naturally not let them off.
!
"Ruling Strike!"
Chu Bai also did not hesitate and charged at the girl.
"How fast! He's so strong."
The young girl was shocked.
Then, she used the frying pan to block the attack.
Chu Bai's God Slaying Calamity touched her frying pan.
Then, Chu Bai directly bounced away.
"What?"
This shocked Chu Bai.
"I'll beat the f*ck out of you!" the young girl shouted and charged toward Chu Bai at an extremely fast speed.
She was very fast!
Chu Bai was also surprised by her speed. She seemed to be as fast as him.
What class was she?
Why was her weapon a frying pan?
Then, her sprinting figure suddenly disappeared on the spot.
In the next moment, she appeared above Chu Bai as if she had teleported. She raised the frying pan and aimed it at Chu Bai's head.
Chu Bai reacted and raised the God Slaying Calamity to stab at it.
Their weapons clashed again.
However, this time, Chu Bai immediately released Blade Waltz after his attack.
Swoosh!
Damage kept appearing above her head.
-670, -670!
"We're done for! His damage is so high. He's not going to flip, is he?"
The young girl panicked.
"Lil Dragon, Invincibility!"
A ray of light flashed.
-0, -0, -0!
The follow-up damage of Blade Waltz was all zero.
An expert!
Chu Bai's eyes lit up.
"Lil Dragon, Explosive Dragon Breath!"
Roar!
Then, the little dragon spat out a blue lightning-like dragon's breath at Chu Bai.
-100, -101, -103!
Chu Bai's health bar did not even drop because of the elementary defense talisman.
Chu Bai activated his speed, and he was so fast that Lil Dragon could not lock onto him.
"Master, I can't beat him."
Lil Dragon said with smoke coming out of his mouth.
"I'll do it! Super Large Frying Pan!"
The young girl leaped up, and the pan in her hand suddenly became a few hundred times larger before directly smacking down.
Chu Bai looked up. He could not even see the sky. He could only see the dark bottom of the pot.
F*ck!
[Ding. You've received the ultimate skill, Super Large Frying Pan.]
[Super Large Frying Pan: enlarges the weapon in the hand by 200 times and increases damage by 1000%. No cooldown.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
"Release!"
Then, the God Slaying Calamity in his hand became a hundred times bigger!
"Wow! It's so big!"
The young girl exclaimed with her mouth slightly open while holding the pan.
"Release!"
...
Chu Bai released it again. His sword was even bigger than her frying pan. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Then, Chu Bai grabbed the hilt of his sword with both hands and swung it.
Boom!
The two weapons collided again.
"I can't win! After all, he's older than me. Lil Dragon, run!"
The young lady shouted as her frying pan returned to its original size.
"Master, I'm coming!"
Then, the girl and the dragon ran away with all their might.
"You want to run?"
Chu Bai's eyes narrowed.
"Super Large Frying Pan!"
...
He released it again!
The sword grew bigger again. They ran for a few seconds, but they could not keep up with the growth of Chu Bai's weapon.
"Triple Flame Slash!"
A sword that was a few hundred meters long released Triple Flame Slash, which naturally increased the skill's range.
The young girl turned her head and saw the sword that was a few hundred meters long dancing wildly behind her. Her expression changed drastically.
"We're done for, we're done for!"
Swoosh!
She dodged the first and second parts of the attack.
However, the range of the third attack had directly expanded to over a hundred meters!
Boom!
The attack smashed down.
The little dragon was sent flying.
-6,700!
This huge damage had only reduced the little dragon's HP by less than half.
"Master, save me! Master, save me!"
Lil Dragon shouted in a panic as he was sent flying into the sky.
Although this little dragon was a robber, it seemed to be quite timid. It kept moving its limbs in the air as if it wanted to grab the air and escape.
"Ruling Strike!"
Chu Bai held the sword that was a few hundred meters long and released it at the little dragon!
The girl stopped and turned around.
"Lil Dragon!"
Her expression changed.
No!
She would never abandon her companion!
He had gone too far!
"I'm sorry, Lil Guo. I'm sorry. I don't want to leave you behind either."
The young girl looked at the pan in her hand pitifully.
Whoosh!
Then, she threw her pan at Chu Bai.
[Ding. You've discarded the God Slaying Frying Pan.]
The small frying pan had actually blocked Chu Bai's powerful attack.
"Quickly run!"
She caught the little dragon and ran away.
Chu Bai's sword returned to its original size.
"She really got away."
However, this player was very powerful, and she actually had a dragon as a pet.
Chu Bai walked over and picked up the pan.
[God Slaying Frying Pan. Grade: Strongest in the Universe. Usage level: 0. Usage requirements: Meng Yi and Lil Dragon. A mysterious frying pan that contains unimaginable power. It seems like it can kill even a god with one strike. Current status: production incomplete.]
[Attributes: strength +100, attack +500. Remaining attributes to be added.]
[Passive skills—Invincibility: ignores grade and level, and can block all attacks.]
[Knock on the Head: double damage when hit on the head. The louder the sound, the higher the damage.]
[Other passive skills to be added.]
[Super Large Frying Pan: makes the frying pan 100 times bigger. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
[Other active skills to be added.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
Chapter 81
Chu Bai was completely stunned on the spot!
'Its grade is Strongest in the Universe?'
What the hell?
It was also a piece of equipment that could block all attacks!
Chu Bai had experienced this before. His God Slaying Calamity, which was a few hundred meters away, could be blocked by this small frying pan.
However, what did it mean by production incomplete?
Also, what did it mean by attributes and skills were to be added?
What the hell?
"This is amazing."
Chu Bai kept the frying pan in his spatial ring. He did not think too much about it and continued to walk forward.
…
In the snow.
The young girl was lying on the ground, rolling around
"Ahhhhhhhh! My frying pan! Boo-hoo… I'm miserable!"
Lil Dragon sat there with its head in its hands, looking very depressed.
Then, it leaned over and nudged the young girl, saying, "Master, let's go home and buy a better frying pan."
The young girl sniffled and sat up, her eyes red.
"But it took me more than a year to make this frying pan, and all the money I robbed was used to buy the magical stones to upgrade it. I can't bear to do it, boo-hoo…"
She sat there and wiped her tears.
"Well then… Uhh…"
Lil Dragon walked around and said, "Let's go find that master and kneel down to beg for mercy."
"No! A man can't kneel before anyone else!" the young girl said stubbornly.
"But… you're a girl."
"Huh? Oh, that's right."
Her beautiful eyes lit up.
Then, she wrinkled her nose!
"Hmph! But I still don't want to do that. However, I can exchange it with him for something else."
On the ground, there was a pile of equipment and items.
"He'll definitely trade with me for this many things, right?"
At the thought of this, the young girl immediately beamed with joy. She wiped her tears and stood up full of fighting spirit.
"But… But Master, he's so rich. He shouldn't be lacking in these treasures, right?" Lil Dragon blinked and asked.
The young girl stopped in her tracks.
"Boo-hoo! He doesn't lack treasures… Waa—"
Then, she looked up at the sky and started crying.
…
"This must be the volcano from the Merica Nation's mission."
Chu Bai raised his head and looked at the volcano that was emitting thick smoke.
Then, Chu Bai ran up the volcano.
The volcano was not very high, so Chu Bai arrived at the top very quickly.
It had already erupted, and the lava had solidified.
The space above was quite large. It was a rather large platform, and if he continued to walk forward, he would reach the volcano!
He walked to the mouth of the volcano.
It was all thick smoke, and nothing could be seen.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out of the crater.
After it came out, its gaze was fixed on Chu Bai.
It was a huge tiger that was burning with flames.
[Burning Flame Heavenly Fire Beast. Grade: Dark Demon Boss. Level: 25 ] [ HP: 800,000. The beast king of the Ice and Fire Plains. All the beasts in the Ice and Fire Plains obey its commands. It was originally an ordinary beast king, but after staying here for a long time, it has become extremely powerful with the help of the scorching power of the magma. Its fire-type power is extremely strong.]
[Fire Claw: charges at a target with its claws, dealing massive damage. The range is much larger than expected. Cooldown time: 20 seconds.]
[Burning Sun Burning Sky Flame: instantly creates a sea of fire with a range of 50 meters, lasting 20 seconds. Deals damage and 100% burn damage to enemies within the area. Cooldown time: three minutes.]

[Beast King's Intimidation: releases the furious roar of a beast king, intimidating all beasts. All targets within 20 meters will be stunned for two seconds. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
"I didn't expect my mission to clash with the Merica Nation's mission." Looking at the boss' introduction, Chu Bai muttered to himself.
It was a very powerful Dark Demon boss. It was not any weaker than Gluttony!
...
In particular, his ultimate skill was actually an area-of-effect stun.
Unfortunately, these fatal skills were completely useless against Chu Bai!
"Lil Xue'er."
With a flash of light, Lil Xue'er landed beside Chu Bai.
"Holy Moment."
"Wuwuwu—" Lil Xue 'er called out, and then directly increased Chu Bai's strength.
This monster would definitely not be as difficult to deal with as Gluttony!
Of course, he still had to be careful.
Roar!
The Burning Flame Heavenly Fire Beast roared and stepped with its front claws. With its body as the center, a sea of fire instantly formed.
"F*ck! Are you that decisive?"
...
-500, -500!
Chu Bai could only cower.
He and Lil Xue'er's HP were dropping continuously. He would die in six seconds!
Whoosh!
The two of them braved the damage from the sea of fire and rushed out.
After he left, Chu Bai had already lost 2,000 HP.
+1,260, +252!
Lil Xue'er's Heavenly Healing and Light of the Holy Spirit were released at the same time, and his HP bar directly rose.
The Burning Flame Heavenly Fire beast also rushed out.
"Lil Xue'er, Holy Light Glint!"
[Holy Light Glint: Lil Xue'er's exclusive skill. Releases the power of holy light to stun the target. Effect: with the user as the center, all enemy units within 20 meters will be stunned for two seconds, regardless of level and grade. Mana consumption: 3,000. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
A dazzling golden light flickered, and the Burning Flame Heavenly Fire Beast that had pounced toward Chu Bai was immediately stunned, then fell to the ground.
Chu Bai rushed forward.
-1,340, -2,680, -1,340!
Just as it was about to recover…
"Triple Flame Slash!"
-1,340, -1,340, -2,680!
Just as it recovered from the dizzy effect, the burning Flame Heavenly Fire Beast was hit by the third part of Triple Flame Slash!
"Blade Waltz!"
With Holy Moment, Chu Bai naturally had to use all the explosive power he could during this period.
-1,340, -2,680!
After landing…
"Ruling Strike!"
-1,340!
The Burning Flame Heavenly Fire Beast was stunned for another two seconds.
At the same time, Lil Xue'er also rushed over and cast a Holy Light Shining Strike at it.
[Holy Light Shining Strike. Lil Xue'er's exclusive skill. Gathers the power of holy light in her body and attacks the target instantly. Effect: deals two times magic attack power damage to the target. During this period, the target is in an invincible state. Mana consumption: 200. Coolddown time: 30 seconds.]
With 3,600 magic attack power, excluding its defense, this move had dealt 6,951 damage to the Burning Flame Heavenly Fire Beast.
In just a few seconds, the two of them had dealt the Burning Flame Heavenly Fire Beast nearly 30,000 damage.
"Lil Xue'er, retreat!"
After the attack, they naturally got to the home of the Burning Flame Heavenly Fire Beast.
Roar!
It roared.
-1,301!
A huge damage value appeared above Chu Bai's head!
Infinite Killing Intent. It could forcefully cause damage to an enemy without even moving. 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
However, this damage should not be able to instantly kill any players who had already completed their second class transition. Now, players who had completed their second class transition should have a base HP of 1,300. With the addition of their equipment, it was normal for them to have nearly 2,000 HP.
However, it was almost there…
Roar!
Then, the Burning Flame Heavenly Fire Beast roared.
It was the Beast King's Intimidation.
[Ding. You're immune to the dizzy effect.]
[Ding. You've received the ultimate skill, Beast King's Intimidation.]
Chu Bai's lips curled up.
"I was waiting to use this! Beast King's Intimidation!"
Roar!
Chu Bai also let out a powerful roar from his throat.
Chapter 82
The Burning Flame Heavenly Fire Beast was stunned by Chu Bai.
Then, Chu Bai walked over unhurriedly.
After he walked over, the dizzy effect disappeared and Chu Bai used Beast King's Intimidation again.
It was stunned again. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚
So, how was he going to fight this Burning Flame Heavenly Fire beast?
Chu Bai just stood there, stabbing him back and forth with his sword.
The stun effect immediately ended, and he released another one!
Lil Xue'er walked over and happily pulled the monster with her claws.
[Ding. You've killed the Burning Flame Heavenly Fire Beast.]
[Ding. You've leveled up to Level 22, HP +10, mana +10, and obtained five attribute points that can be freely allocated.]
[Ding. Lil Xue'er has leveled up to Level 22, HP +100, mana +1,000, magic attack power +100.]
The powerful beast king of the Ice and Fire Plains was killed just like that.
Chu Bai then knelt down and picked up the equipment that had been dropped.
One Dark Demon weapon and two Gold weapons.
This drop rate was quite ridiculous.
His luck was really awesome.
[Beast King's Skyfire Sword. Grade: Dark Demon. Usage requirements: it has not been appraised and can't be used.]
[Beast King's Heavenly Fire Shield. Grade: Gold. Usage requirements: It has not been appraised and can't be used.]
[Beast King's Skyfire Pants. Grade: Gold. Usage requirements: It has not been appraised and can't be used.]
Chu Bai threw all of them into his spatial ring.
"A skill book?"
Chu Bai quickly picked it up.
[Infinite Killing Intent Skill Book: after use, one can obtain the skill, Infinite Killing Intent.]
Chu Bai's eyes lit up!
This skill was really powerful! He did not expect it to be dropped.
Crush!
He immediately used it.
[Ding. You've obtained the skill Infinite Killing Intent.]
[Infinite Killing Intent: locks onto a target within sight and instantly deals two times attack power damage. Cooldown time: one minute.]
Therefore, the legend that looks could kill was true.
With a one-minute cooldown, reducing it by half was 30 seconds!
It was good.
"Huh? Another token?"
Chu Bai looked at the token and picked it up.
"It's another guild building order."
He could not help but laugh.
The players outside were frantically looking for guild building orders. The members of the guilds were frantically looking for Gold-ranked bosses in an attempt to get them. They all wanted to be the first to establish a guild.
However, Chu Bai already had two.
"It seems that I should also start my own guild," Chu Bai muttered to himself.
[Ding. You've completed the mission from Merica Nation. Mission reward: reputation +50,000.]
[Ding. As you have completed a special mission from Merican Nation, you have received the title Merica Nation's best friend.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
Merica Nation's best friend?
[Title of Merica Nation's Best Friend. As you have completed a mission for Merica Nation in a friendly manner, you have become a good friend of Merica Nation. With this title, you can enter and exit Merica Nation's territories and city-states at will.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
Chu Bai was dumbfounded at first, but then he revealed an evil smile.
The system was obviously worse than him.
At this time, a system notification came.
[Ding. All players, please take note. Hua Nation battlezone player Bai Ye has completed the Merica Nation exclusive mission. All Merica Nation players' experience gain is reduced by 10% for two days.]
Everyone was speechless.
"Hahahaha! F*ck! God Bai Ye has completed the mission from Merica Nation, hahahaha."
"All Merica Nation's players' experience gain will be reduced by 10% for two days. It's so funny."
"Merica Nation, Sakura Nation, and Seunmida Nation have the worst attitudes toward our country. They deserve it! I could only say that Bai Ye is awesome! I love you, God Bai Ye!"
"They're so angry. They're definitely very angry. Hahahaha!"
...
"The expert from Merica Nation, Arsel, led a group of Merica Nation players to the Ice and Fire Plains to besiege Bai Ye. Guess what happened? They didn't meet God Bai Ye and were all killed by a Hua Nation female player with a frying pan, hahahaha!"
"Hahahaha! I was there too. I was f*cked by her too. I couldn't beat her, so I just hit her directly on the head. I almost had to give her my novice underwear. I gave her everything! What? You're asking me why I'm crying? The wind is blowing, but I'm not sad at all."
…
Merica Nation was speechless.
"What the…?"
"Our country and Bai Ye are irreconcilable! How detestable! Hasn't anyone killed him yet? He's too arrogant. After defeating the people from the top guilds in China, he defeated the Black Dragon Gang. After defeating the Black Dragon Gang, he defeated Merica Nation! Is no one going to teach him a lesson?"
"F*ck Bai Ye! F*ck all of them!"
"Have all of the people in Merica Nation died? They're already bullying us, so why don't we do something?! If I wasn't in the gods race, I would have killed him long ago."
…
The players of Merica Nation were devastated.
All experience gained would be reduced by 10% in two days, which would cause their country level to fall behind others!
...
"What's going on, Arsel? Didn't you go to attack Bai Ye? How did you get killed by Bai Ye? You had dozens of people, dozens of talents, and good equipment. You're one of the top 100 masters in our country, and you were killed without a word?" In front of Arsel, a dignified golden-haired man asked with a frown.
"Guild Leader, I didn't see Bai Ye. We were beaten to death by a Hua Nation player with a frying pan."
"What?! You're truly trash! Gather all the members of Pantheon and find Bai Ye! Right now, Bai Ye is the public enemy of our nation. Whoever kills him will be respected by the players in the country, and it'll be very beneficial for the members of the guild."
"Yes!"
…
On the other side, Chu Bai and Lil Xue'er continued to farm creatures nearby.
A single Dark Demon boss had already raised him to Level 22. He was truly helpless.
[Ding. Player Shallow Shadow River Moon has requested to speak with you. Do you accept?]
"I accept!"
Then, Jiang Qianyue's pure and mature voice rang out from the communicator.
"Chu Bai, am I disturbing you?"
"No." Chu Bai asked. "Sister Qianyue, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing. Fan Fan asked me to tell you that she's waiting for you at the mission point in Liuzhou City. She wants to meet you in-game and add you as a friend. When are you going there? I'll let her know."
"Now," Chu Bai replied.
He had been out for three hours and was quite tired. He should go back and submit the city lord's mission first.
"Good! Then I'll hang up first."
"Alright, Sister Qianyue. I have some equipment here. A Dark Demon-grade sword, a Gold-grade dagger, and so on. Do you want them?"
The other end was silent for a moment.
He was giving away Dark Demon-grade equipment?"
Was this not too exaggerated?
"I want them! I'll be near Liuzhou City tomorrow!"
"Why don't I give them to you when I go offline?"
Jiang Qianyue said, "There's no need for that. I'm looking for Fan Fan, Qing Yu, and Brother Shan anyway. Let's meet up at Liuzhou City."
"Alright," he said.
Chu Bai hung up and looked at Lil Xue'er.
"Lil Xue'er, are you hungry? I'll bring you to eat something good when we get back."
"Wuwuwu…"
Lil Xue'er happily jumped onto Chu Bai's neck and started licking it.
…
At Liuzhou City's mission board.
Lu Yufan was standing there in a blue dress.
To be honest, she was very beautiful! She looked like a young girl, and she attracted the attention of many players as she stood there.
Chapter 83
Lu Yufan leaned against a wooden pillar, her beautiful big eyes looking around. She occasionally tried tiptoeing to try to look further.
Of course, she was waiting to see if Chu Bai would come.
Although they knew each other in real life, meeting in-game felt different.
She was feeling excitement, anticipation, and a little nervousness!
One had to know that he was Bai Ye!
He was currently the most powerful player in the entire history of Fate!
At the very least, he was currently the most powerful. He had fought against 100 enemies and achieved the first kill of various bosses. He had practically monopolized all the system announcements around the world.
Chu Bai walked over. He was still a dozen meters away from Lu Yufan, and he recognized her at a glance.
Although she was not very old, her looks were indeed outstanding. She had a good figure and good looks, especially her legs, which were fair, flawless, long, and straight.
Just as he was about to say hello, he saw two players approach Lu Yufan with a smile.
"Hey, pretty lady. Are you alone?"
Big Orange Ba looked at Lu Yufan with a smile, then sized her up without hiding anything.
The people behind stared at Lu Yufan's legs and could not help but swallow.
This kind of gaze and lecherous action made Lu Yufan very displeased.
However, the game's protective mechanism for women was only limited to physical contact.
"Are you blind? If I'm not a person, then am I a thing?" Lu Yufan said without any trace of politeness.
Big Orange Ba and Big Lucky Shot looked at each other and laughed.
"Yo, she's quite fierce, hahaha!"
"Pretty lady, let's add each other as friends. I'm already at Level 13. I'll bring you to level up," Big Orange Ba said with a smile.
"Get lost!" Lu Yufan said unhappily.
"Beauty, put away your laughable aloofness. My friend and I will bring you around with us. Isn't it nice to follow us to level up? You'll have a powerful assassin and a powerful swordsman to guide you. We'll also give you good equipment, so you don't need to be so reserved."
Then, he sent Lu Yufan a party invitation.
[Ding. Player Big Orange Ba has invited you to join his team. Do you accept?]
"I refuse."
Lu Yufan refused without hesitation.
"Oh, you're still so reserved? Alright, my tone was indeed bad just now. Pretty lady, join my team, will ya?"
Lu Yufan glanced at him and said, "Have you never seen a woman before? Do you shamelessly stick to any girl you see? How useless! Have you never even held a girl's hand before? You're a yes-man in reality, but a big shot in the game? Does your mother know what you're like outside? It's just sad."
"Pfft!"
Some of the players nearby could not help but laugh when they heard this, especially some female players.
Chu Bai, who was not far away, smiled when he heard this.
Lu Yufan was quite cute.
Big Orange Ba's face darkened when he heard the mockery from the side.
"You really don't know how to appreciate it even when I'm being kind. Do you think I like talking to you? You don't have any breasts or butt! Let's go."
He turned around and prepared to leave.
When Lu Yufan heard this, she looked down at her chest and was instantly enraged.
"How dare you say that I don't have breasts?!"
She extended her hand and took out her staff.
"Yo, are you in a hurry? You still want to fight? Hahahaha! Don't you know whether you have breasts or not? What do you think, Brother Ji Zhe?"
Big Lucky Shot laughed and said, "She's completely flat, hahahah."
Lu Yufan gritted her teeth.
"Water Ball Spell."
Then, she cast a Water Ball Spell on Big Orange Ba.
Big Orange Ba dodged the water ball nimbly!
"You really dare to attack me? I've been polite enough! Splitting a Mountain!"
He took out his weapon and jumped toward Lu Yufan.
Chu Bai rushed over when he saw this.
However… he quickly stopped.
"Waterfall!"
A waterfall appeared in front of Lu Yufan, and when the man's sword hit the waterfall, all the power dissipated, and the sword was blocked!
"Water Prison Confinement."
As soon as Big Orange Ba landed on the ground, he was sealed in a water prison.
"Hehehe, do you think this is useful on me?"
He laughed in disdain.
Lu Yufan's face was full of anger!
...
"Elven Water Gun!"
After that, she did not even have time to chant and release a skill.
A beautiful elf made of water appeared in the air in front of him. The elf raised her hand, and the water in her hand condensed into a water gun, which she used to shoot at him.
"Tsk, do you think you can kill me in seconds…"
-2,619!
Before he could finish his sentence, a huge damage value appeared above his head, and his health bar was instantly emptied.
Everyone was speechless.
Chu Bai was speechless.
"F*ck! What the f*ck? Is this the damage of a water mage? Isn't this too ridiculous?"
"Water mages have the lowest damage out of all mages with attributes. Even a water mage with a hidden class has extremely low damage. Just by using crowd control and healing, is this the damage a water mage can do in the early stages? I'm dumbfounded!"
"No, I don't think this skill is something that an ordinary water-type mage can use. Does this girl have a hidden class? Did you guys notice? She doesn't have any casting skills, yet she can cast them instantly."
...
"I'm laughing. He even invited this girl to join his team and said he would help her level up? In the end, he was killed instantly, hahaha! What a loser."
"This Lady Is Number One in the World? This ID looks a little familiar. Damn! The player who's ranked second on the hidden class leaderboard! She's a big shot!"
…
Lu Yufan pouted and wrinkled her nose. She snorted and said, "You shouldn't have said I had small breasts."
Chu Bai was also secretly shocked.
Was Lu Yufan that fierce? 𝒷ℯ𝒹𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Not to mention water mages, even lightning mages with the highest attack power could not deal such high damage at this stage. Even if Chu Bai used his skills, he would not be able to deal such high damage without any enhancements.
However, a swordsman's and a mage's skill damage could not be compared.
At this moment, Big Lucky Shot was completely stunned.
Gulp.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Get lost. Do you want me to kill you in seconds?" Lu Yufan waved her fist at the person and said viciously.
Big Lucky Shot was obviously struggling with the humiliation.
After thinking for a moment, it was ridiculous for an assassin to be afraid of a mage!
Assassins were the best counter to this class.
Moreover, she had already used all her powerful skills, so she probably could not do anything else.
"I'm going to kill you!"
After saying that, a dagger appeared in his hand.
"Seal Throat!"
He flashed in front of Lu Yufan at an extremely fast speed.
Lu Yufan was shocked.
She had thought that this person would run away.
"I'm done for, I'm done for."
When an assassin got close to a mage, it was basically a death sentence.
At this moment, a figure rushed over.
-680!
A third of Big Lucky Shot's health bar had been cleared.
Everyone looked over in shock.
"F*ck! It's the great God Bai Ye!"
Chapter 84
Lu Yufan's mouth was slightly agape as she looked at Chu Bai with her beautiful eyes. She then revealed an excited and happy expression. 𝒷ℯ𝒹𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶
"Chu… God Bai Ye."
She was about to call Chu Bai, but she suddenly realized something and immediately changed her words.
Chu Bai's Ruling Strike stunned his opponent to the spot.
Then, he killed the player with two slashes.
"Woah! He's so cool!"
Lu Yufan's beautiful eyes twinkled like stars. She couldn't help but open her arms and hug Chu Bai.
"F*ck! Could she be God Bai Ye's girlfriend?"
"It's possible. They're hugging each other, but they should only be an in-game couple. I don't think they've met in real life. Didn't you hear that this girl also called him God Bai Ye just now?"
"I'm so envious. As expected, there's no shortage of girls with abilities."
"I have a friend who's also very envious."
"…"
[Ding. Since This Lady is Number One in the World was the one who initiated contact with you, there'll be no punishment for this contact.]
"I'm fine," Chu Bai coughed and said.
Lu Yufan also realized something and quickly got out of Chu Bai's arms, her face blushing.
"They were the ones who provoked me first," Lu Yufan pouted and said in a low voice.
"Yes, I saw it," Chu Bai said.
Lu Yufan looked at Chu Bai, feeling wronged.
"They said my chest is small."
Chu Bai said, "You fought well."
"Hehe, right?"
Lu Yufan then broke into a smile. Then, she thought of something and said in a low voice, "Actually… it isn't small."
"Ah… Is that so?"
Lu Yufan looked at Chu Bai.
Chu Bai quickly replied, "Yeah! It's not small!"
"Hehehe, of course."
Lu Yufan then walked around Chu Bai and tugged at Chu Bai's cloak.
"Oh my, it's quite cool. What a good-looking cloak. Did you buy it to act cool?" Lu Yufan asked with a smile.
"It's a piece of equipment," Chu Bai said.
"Huh? Why did the game drop equipment like capes so early on? I don't believe you."
Chu Bai then shared the attributes with Lu Yufan.
"A Divine Emperor equipment." Lu Yufan opened her mouth.
It was too amazing.
This was only the early stage of the game.
[Ding. This Lady is Number One in the World has requested to add you as a friend. Do you accept?]
"I agree."
"Hehe."
After he added her as a friend, Lu Yufan laughed happily.
"You're only at Level 10, so how did you manage to deal such high damage?" Chu Bai asked out of curiosity.
"I have a hidden class," Lu Yufan blinked her eyes and said mysteriously.
"Is that so?"
Chu Bai took a look at the hidden class rankings.
Hidden class rankings:
[1st place—Hidden class: Carols of the Soul. Owner: Little Cutie.]
[2nd place—Hidden class: Water Sprite. Owner: This Lady is Number One in the World.]
[3rd place—Hidden class: Death God. Owner: Hiding.]
The rankings for hidden classes were already full.
It was normal. After leaving the village, with so many players, so many cities, and so many experts in the five continents, it was normal for the lucky players to quickly fill up the rankings.
However, most of them were ordinary hidden classes.
The hidden class in third place was the Death God.
It should be a very powerful class!
The rest of the classes should be normal hidden classes.
However, Lu Yufan and Little Cutie's hidden classes did not seem that ordinary just by looking at the names.
That was the truth!
...
Their hidden classes were actually ranked above the Death God!
[Water Sprite: the highest class of water elves. The highest level that can be reached is Holy Water Prayer. As elves from the God race, water sprites have an exaggerated affinity and control of the water element. They're the only existence that can exert the greatest power of the water element. Water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat. The power of water is far more powerful than imagined.]
[Passive skill—Water Language: instant cast without chanting.]
[Kiss of Water: all water attribute skills damage increased by 100%.]
[Water Spirit: immune to water-type attacks, and fire-type attacks reduced by 90%.]
[Water Barrier: no damage received. A shield worth 1,000 damage is refreshed every hour. After the shield is broken, it'll deal 10,000 fixed damage to all enemies within ten meters.]
[Attributes: luck +10, comprehension +10, charm +10, spirit +300, HP +2,000, mana +20,000, magic attack power +100.]
Chu Bai could not see the active skills.
However…
Just these few passive skills were already extremely exaggerated.
A mage's greatest weakness was not that they were afraid of close-range attacks, but that they had to chant for their skills. When a mage did not need to chant for their skills, their combat power would still be superior even if they were in close range. Unless they were hit, they would be able to use their skills easily.
...
"Don't you have Water Barrier? The assassin just now broke your shield and died, didn't he?" Chu Bai said.
"I've forgotten."
Lu Yufan stuck out her pink tongue in embarrassment.
Chu Bai nodded.
"Well, let's go back to the city to eat something first. I'll hand in a mission while I'm there."
"Alright!"
Then, the two of them walked into the city.
"How did you get this class?" Chu Bai asked.
"When I left the novice village, I didn't go to the square of the city. Instead, I landed on a special map. There, I met a super, super beautiful water sprite. She gave me the hidden class," Lu Yufan said.
This was up to chance.
Chu Bai could not force it.
"Oh right, Chu Bai, why didn't you change your class?" Lu Yufan asked curiously.
"I also want to, but I can't."
Chu Bai shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
"Huh? How did this happen?"
"The class-changing master said that I'm too strong and that ordinary classes aren't worthy of me," Chu Bai said honestly.
"Pfft!"
Lu Yufan laughed.
"How narcissistic."
"It's true," Chu Bai said.
"Alright, alright, I believe you," Lu Yufan said with a smile. She seemed very happy to see Chu Bai.
"I'll go to the city lord's mansion first," Chu Bai said.
"Okay."
Then, Chu Bai brought Lu Yufan to the city lord's mansion. Lu Yufan waited at the entrance of the mansion.
The city lord had just walked out. When he saw Chu Bai, he laughed and opened his arms to hug him.
"Hahahaha! Young hero Bai Ye! My servants have already told me about what happened at the Ice and Fire Plains. A large number of beasts have already run away from the Ice and Fire Plains, and the root cause is you killing the beast king, right?"
Chu Bai nodded.
"That's great! Take these, they're your promised rewards."
[Ding. You've obtained the gold weapon, Golden Flame Sword.]
[Ding. You've obtained silver equipment—Silver Armor, Silver Battle Axe… Advanced HP potion x10, advanced mana potion x10.]
…
These pieces of level-20 equipment might be very valuable to others, but to Chu Bai, it was a huge sum of money.
"Many thanks, City Lord."
The city lord smiled and waved his hand. "It's nothing. You deserve it. However, young hero Bai Ye, I'm facing another problem. You're strong enough, so I want to ask you for help."
Chapter 85
Chu Bai's eyes lit up when he heard the city lord's words.
Was another mission coming his way?
Chu Bai then said, "I'll listen to what you have to say first."
The city lord nodded and then said, "In the northwest of Liuzhou City, near the demon race, there's a demonic land. There's a tower there that's called the Nine-Story Demon Tower. It should have been created by an expert 10,000 years ago. A large number of demons are sealed inside. It's rumored that an ominous object is sealed inside as well. Because the records are from too long ago, they aren't clear. It seems that the object is an existence that has once greatly harmed the continent.
"But in recent years, the seal has loosened, and many demons have escaped. Some of them have even come to our human race and endangered the safety of the people.
"The demonic qi there is too thick. Not only me, but some masters from the continent have also come here to deal with the monsters inside, but the demonic qi is too strong and they can't get close. You adventurers from the other world are immune to the demonic qi inside."
Chu Bai nodded.
"So, I want to invite you to enter the Nine-Story Demon Tower to see what the situation is like inside. However, you need at least three people to enter. If you can successfully complete this mission, I'll give you a treasure that you'll definitely like."
[Ding. You have triggered the hidden mission, Nine-Story Demon Tower. Mission reward: mysterious treasure. Mission time limit: three days. Mission limitation: three players required. Mission penalty: none. Do you accept?]
"Of course, no problem," Chu Bai replied.
[Ding. You've accepted the mission.]
"Good! You take this! Since I'm asking you to go there, I'll definitely have to ensure your safety."
He handed Chu Bai a total of four talismans.
[Ding. You've obtained fixed-point teleportation talismans.]
[Fixed-point teleportation talisman: place one of them in a location to mark and then use the other to instantly appear at the marked place. Usage: one.]
"These are talismans made by the Nine Swords Sect. You can place one outside the Nine-Story Demon Tower, and the other three can be used by you and your two teammates. If you encounter danger, you can instantly leave. At least it can guarantee your safety."
"Many thanks, City Lord!"
"It's fine. I only dare to assign this task to you because you're the Son of Destiny. Be careful!"
The city lord patted Chu Bai's shoulder.
"Yes."
Then, Chu Bai walked out.
Lu Yufan saw Chu Bai coming out and immediately went up to him.
"Chu Bai, what's the reward?"
Chu Bai said, "Level-20 Gold and Silver equipment. They're not of much use…"
Lu Yufan was speechless.
Wow, was this how a big shot acted?
"Let's go. I'm going to appraise a few pieces of equipment and then eat something," Chu Bai said.
"Alright ."
The two of them went to Mr. Sun's appraisal shop.
When he saw who it was, Shopowner Sun's mouth twitched.
"Hey, where's the 30% discount sign?" Chu Bai asked with a smile.
Shopowner Sun was speechless.
The corners of his mouth twitched again.
"The event is over." Then, he glanced at Lu Yufan, who was looking around the store.
"The aura of an elf…" Mr. Sun muttered to himself and looked at Chu Bai.
"If you have any equipment for appraisal, take it out."
Chu Bai then passed a few pieces of equipment to him.
They were all dropped by the Burning Flame Heavenly Fire Beast.
The equipment that the city lord gave him had already been appraised.
"You're really something. I haven't seen you in a while and you've brought over another Dark Demon weapon."
Mr. Sun took the Beast King's Skyfire Sword.
"Are there no other events?" Chu Bai asked.
"The discount event is still going on. You're the Son of Destiny, so I'll give you another 50% discount. You can go and play the lottery."
Chu Bai then walked over.
"Why did he call you the Son of Destiny?" Lu Yufan asked curiously.
Chu Bai randomly picked a lot and said, "Because I passed the abyss-difficulty trial."
"So that's how it is."
Lu Yufan came to a realization.
Then, Chu Bai handed the piece of paper to Mr. Sun.
"10% off."
"Cough, cough—"
Shopowner Sun immediately started coughing.
His eyes widened as he looked at the folded piece of paper Chu Bai was holding. His beard was standing on end.
Another 10% discount?
...
There was only one 10% discount out of thousands of them, and he got it twice in a row?
"Take it away."
With a flash of black light, Mr. Sun threw the Beast King's Skyfire Sword to Chu Bai.
[Beast King's Skyfire Sword. Grade: Dark Demon, Usage level:15. Usage requirements: swordsman. A sword that gathers fire energy. Extremely sharp and powerful.]
[Attributes: strength +50, attack +100, critical chance +10%. All attacks ignore 20% of the target's defense. All attacks have a 5% chance to inflict a five-second burn effect.]
[Will of Fire: after activation, all attacks in the next ten seconds will have a fixed damage of 300 points. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
[Heavenly Flame Slash: after activation, attacks will become long-range attacks for the next 20 seconds, releasing a flaming sword aura up to ten meters. There is a 100% chance of inflicting a five-second burn on the target. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
It was a very powerful sword!
As a level-15 Dark Demon weapon, its attack power was increased by 200 points, including strength!
The skills were also quite exaggerated, and there were even skills that could turn melee into ranged.
"It's so powerful."
...
Lu Yufan exclaimed in surprise when she saw the attributes.
"Go and ask Sister Qianyue if she wants it. If she wants it, I'll keep it for her," Chu Bai said.
"Alright," she said.
Lu Yufan then hid at the side and started chatting with Jiang Qianyue.
"There's no problem with these two."
Mr. Sun passed the equipment to Chu Bai in a bad mood.
[Beast King's Skyfire Pants. Grade: Gold. Usage level: 20. Usage requirement: swordsman.]
[Attributes: HP +500, defense +50, lower body damage reduced by 20%, fire attributes damage reduced by 50%.]
Pants usually did not have any skills.
The attributes of this pair were indeed better. Then, Chu Bai replaced the equipment with the level five silver equipment, the Wolf King Armor.
[Character: Bai Ye.]
[Level: 22.]
[Title: Son of Destiny, Merica Nation's Best Friend.]
[Hunger: 61.]
[Reputation: 611,000.]
[Luck: Max; Charm: 35; Comprehension: 35.]
[Four main attributes—Physique: 80; Spirit: 110; Strength: 225; Agility: 80.] 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝒎
[HP: 2,830.]
[Mana: 1,310.]
[ATK: 680.]
[Magic Attack: 220.]
[Defense: 316.]
[Movement speed: 424.]
[Critical chance: 0.]
His HP was almost over 3,000, and his defense was over 300.
As for the other Beast King's Heavenly Fire Shield, Chu Bai was too lazy to look at its attributes.
"Sister Qianyue wants it. She's willing to pay three million," Lu Yufan said as she leaned over.
Chu Bai did not intend to take her money, because…
Chu Bai wanted to establish a guild. Lu Yufan, Yu Qingyu, Jiang Qianyue, and Playboy were all people Chu Bai wanted to invite!
The three of them were worthy of Chu Bai's invitation just based on their talents.
However…
He did not have much money left. He had spent three million to make the system announcement, so he only had one million on him. If he played games with only one million, he would not even be able to afford a prop he liked.
He would just take the money then.
"Alright," he said.
"Hehe…"
"Mr. Sun, how much is it?" Chu Bai asked.
"It's 12 gold coins. You got a total of 60% off, so it's six silver coins in total."
Shopowner Sun was about to break down.
Chu Bai handed over a gold coin.
"No need for change."
Shopowner Sun was speechless.
'F*ck! As if I need a gold coin from you!'
Chapter 86
After leaving Mr. Sun's appraisal shop, Chu Bai and Lu Yufan walked around Liuzhou City.
"When will Sister Qianyue and Qingyu come over?" Chu Bai asked.
"They'll be here tomorrow. Sister Qianyue wants to come to our Hua Nation's city-state after arriving. It's not too far from here."
"What for?" Chu Bai asked.
"That place is filled with Hua Nation players. There are a lot of people there. It's convenient, and it's also suitable for business development. The key is that Sister Qianyue wants our studio's base camp to be there."
Chu Bai nodded.
Indeed, it was very convenient to go to the city-state in the battlezone of one's own country.
"Alright, let's gather and go together then." Chu Bai nodded.
"Huh? You're going too?" Lu Yufan asked, blinking her big eyes.
"Yeah, I'm going to create a guild."
The base of the players' guilds had to be in the territory of the corresponding city-state.
"Woah! If you create a guild, then lots of people will want to join! With your fame and the matter between you and that I am God person from Sakura Nation, you've left a good impression in the eyes of the Hua Nation players, but… You need a guild-building token."
"That's a small problem. Let's go and eat something."
The two of them went to an inn.
"Waiter, any signature dish will do," Chu Bai said.
"Good sir, please wait a moment."
Lu Yufan rested her chin on her hand and looked at Chu Bai with her big beautiful eyes.
"Chu Bai, you must be an old player, right? I feel like you're very familiar with everything."
Chu Bai nodded.
He could not say that he was Bai Feng yet, not to anyone!
Even if he made the matter public, with Feng Ling's influence, he had 10,000 ways to make everyone think the news was false.
Moreover, Chu Bai wanted to tell the world about this after he had completely destroyed Feng Ling.
"Master, Master! Look, isn't that the expert who beat us up and stole your frying pan?"
In the corner of the inn, Lil Dragon's face was covered in oil. It raised its head and said excitedly upon seeing Chu Bai. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟el.c𝚘𝚖
The young girl turned her head to look.
She immediately pouted.
It was as if she was thinking of the sad past.
"It's him."
Then, she realized something and looked at Lil Dragon. "What do you mean by he beat us up? I wasn't beaten up by him. You need to choose your words wisely."
Lil Dragon blinked its big eyes that were full of spirit and said, "Master, look, isn't that the expert who tortured us?"
The young girl staggered and almost fell on the stool.
Lil Dragon pouted its little mouth, feeling wronged.
"Did I say something wrong again…"
The young girl stared at Chu Bai and mumbled, "I have to get my little frying pan back."
Lil Dragon said excitedly, "Master, Master, let's go and kneel and beg for mercy. He'll definitely be magnanimous and not hold it against us."
Her big eyes were filled with seriousness.
The young girl was also carefully considering what the little dragon had said.
"No, no, no!"
Then, her little head swayed back and forth like a rattledrum.
"No, no, that's too embarrassing. I'll be left with no dignity."
"But… we don't have dignity." Lil Dragon lay on the table with a soft appearance.
"Uh…"
The young girl blinked.
"Oh, right."
Then, she lay down and looked at the little dragon on the table. The girl and the dragon were discussing something in serious and nervous voices.
"Master, Master, we must not run over and kneel in front of the expert. Otherwise, we might scare him. If we scare him, he'll be unhappy and may not give the little frying pan back to you," Lil Dragon said seriously.
"Really?" the young girl blinked her eyes and asked.
"Yes, yes! Lil Dragon's little head is very smart. Master, you must listen to Lil Dragon."
"Yup, yup. Lil Dragon's little head is smarter than mine. I'll listen to you." The young girl nodded repeatedly.
"Then, what do you think I should do, Lil Dragon?" she asked seriously.
Lil Dragon tilted his head and thought for a while. Suddenly, his big eyes lit up as he hurriedly said, "Master, don't boys like it when girls call them 'Daddy'? Master, you and I should call the expert 'Daddy' and then kneel down and apologize to him. This way, the expert will at least be mentally prepared when he hears us call out to him. He won't be scared when we kneel down."
"Call him 'Daddy'…"
The young girl raised her head and blinked her eyes, clearly in deep thought. Then, her big eyes lit up as well. She looked at Lil Dragon with some admiration and said, "Lil Dragon, you're so smart! You even know that boys like to be called 'Daddy' by girls. You're so amazing!"
Lil Dragon stood up with its chest puffed out and its head raised, looking very proud.
...
"Of course, Lil Dragon's little head is very smart."
"But why do boys like to be called 'Daddy'?" the girl asked, blinking her eyes.
Lil Dragon shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I've seen it on TV."
"Mm! We'll just do it your way!"
The girl stood up, clenched her fists, and cheered herself on before walking over.
…
"Lil Xue'er, come out."
Whoosh!
With a flash of light, Lil Xue'er was standing on the table.
"Waa! It's so cute! Lil Xue'er."
When Lu Yufan saw Lil Xue'er, her big eyes sparkled with countless little stars.
...
"It's so cute…"
The young girl who was walking over also had stars in her eyes.
Chu Bai turned his head and took a look in the direction of the voice.
Then, a small figure came to the side of the table and moved its face in front of Lil Xue'er.
"How cute!"
Lil Xue'er was shocked by the sudden appearance of this figure.
"Master, Master, Lil Dragon is also very cute. Master, you're not allowed to like others." Lil Dragon, who was on the girl's shoulder, said hurriedly.
"It's so cute…"
It was as if she did not hear Lil Dragon's words. She squatted on the ground and looked at Lil Xue'er with her hands on the table.
Chu Bai looked at her.
Was this not the player with the frying pan?
"Master, you can't. You can't like other pets. You have to like Lil Dragon." Lil Dragon hugged the young girl's neck and quickly said.
"May I ask who you are?" Lu Yufan looked at her and asked.
At this moment, the little girl finally reacted.
"Ah… Oh."
Then, she quickly looked at Chu Bai.
"Daddy."
Chu Bai was speechless.
"Daddy, Daddy."
Lil Dragon also hurriedly called out when it heard her.
"Daddy, Daddy."
Plop!
Then, the little girl knelt and clutched Chu Bai's legs with both hands.
Chu Bai was speechless.
Lu Yufan was speechless.
Chapter 87
Chu Bai and Lu Yufan were both dumbfounded.
What the hell?
Chu Bai was dumbfounded. Why were they calling him 'Daddy' for no reason? They even knelt down?
What Lu Yufan was confused about was… Did Chu Bai already have a daughter this old? Why did his daughter kneel down in front of him?
!
Also, what the hell was with that cute little blue dragon?
Why did it call Chu Bai 'Daddy' as well?
"No…"
Chu Bai quickly stood up.
"What are you doing?"
He lowered his head and looked at the girl and dragon in front of him.
"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, I was wrong. Please give my little frying pan back to me."
The young girl raised her head and looked at Chu Bai pitifully.
Plop!
Lil Dragon jumped down and knelt down in front of Chu Bai.
"Daddy, Daddy, please return the little frying pan to my master."
Chu Bai was dumbfounded.
It seemed that they did not know how serious it was to call someone 'Daddy' and kneel down to them. They made it seem like a very normal action.
"You guys get up first," Chu Bai said hurriedly.
They had indeed fought before, but there was no need to do this. After all, she was a girl, and there was no deep hatred between them. Chu Bai would not do anything to her.
"Then, Daddy, will you return my little frying pan to me?" the young girl asked expectantly.
"Here, here, here."
She and Lil Dragon looked at each other.
"Yay!"
Then, Lil Dragon jumped up and high-fived her.
"Master, isn't Lil Dragon smart?" Lil Dragon said proudly.
"Yes, yes! Lil Dragon is very smart."
"Hehehe." Lil Dragon jumped onto the girl's shoulder.
"But Master was mesmerized by another pet just now."
Lil Dragon looked at Lil Xue'er.
"But she's really cute."
The young girl also looked at Lil Xue'er, her big eyes still twinkling with little stars.
"No! Lil Dragon is the cutest."
After saying that, it jumped onto the table and faced Lil Xue'er.
"Lil Dragon is the cutest. You're not as cute and pretty as Lil Dragon," it spoke to Lil Xue'er in a childish voice.
"Wuwuwu…"
Lil Xue'er called out.
She meant to say that… she was the cutest and prettiest.
"No, no, Lil Dragon is the cutest and prettiest!"
"Wuwuwu—"
"Lil Dragon is!"
"Wuwuwu…"
Lil Xue'er did not give in to the dragon at all.
"No! Lil Dragon is the cutest." The little dragon was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
Lu Yufan went to Chu Bai's side.
"Chu Bai, why did she call you 'Daddy'?"
"I also want to know that," Chu Bai said.
"Why did that little dragon call you that too?"
"I want to know that too."
"When did you have a daughter?"
"I have the same question."
Chu Bai was really dumbfounded.
"No, I don't have any children," Chu Bai said hurriedly.
"I understand now… She's your girlfriend, right? You're so bad. How could you discipline your girlfriend so that she has to act like this when she sees you?"
Lu Yufan pouted.
...
Chu Bai was speechless.
"I don't know her."
[Ding. Lil Xue'er requests to release Illusionary Spirit Transformation. Do you accept?]
A system notification appeared in Chu Bai's mind.
"I agree."
Lil Dragon looked at Lil Xue'er.
"Lil Dragon is the pretty one. You're not cute or pretty at all."
Whoosh!
At this moment, Lil Xue'er released a white light, and then she turned into a very cute and beautiful little girl. She stood there in a purple dress.
"Woah! She's so cute!"
The young girl could not help but let out another cry of surprise when she saw her!
...
Lu Yufan also exclaimed in shock!
Wow!
Lil Xue'er could even transform into a human!
How cute, beautiful, and kawaii!
Ahhhhh!
They were done for.
They could not take it anymore.
The little dragon looked up at Lil Xue'er, who had turned into a little girl. It then lowered its head and looked at itself.
"Lil Xue'er is the cutest and prettiest," Lil Xue'er looked at the dragon and said.
"I am! I am! Master, Master, tell her that Lil Dragon is the cutest and prettiest."
Lil Dragon hurriedly looked at the young girl.
However, the young girl had already rushed to Lil Xue'er's side and was pacing around. She reached out her little hand and pinched Lil Xue'er's little face!
"How soft and tender! Ahhhhhhh!"
Lil Dragon was speechless.
"Lil Dragon with its smart little brain ends up being the clown," Lil Dragon mumbled in grievance.
Chu Bai's gaze finally looked at the young girl.
She was very beautiful!
Recently, he had been meeting very beautiful girls in the game.
However, this girl was about the same age as Lu Yufan. With her cute oval face and delicate facial features, she really looked like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world!
He could not describe her beauty, but it was different from Lu Yufan's beauty. She carried a special feeling, but he did not know what it was. He just felt that she was different.
Chu Bai had experienced this feeling from two people before. One was his girlfriend, Ling Longxue, and the other was Lil Xue'er.
They all seemed to be a little silly.
"Huh? Lil Dragon, why are you sitting on the table and drawing circles?"
The young girl suddenly noticed Lil Dragon's resentful look, blinked her eyes, and asked.
"Lil Dragon is just a smart little brat who has been wronged."
The girl then picked up the little dragon.
"Don't be aggrieved. Here, let me give you hugs. Let's go offline and eat some good food, okay?"
Whoosh!
Lil Dragon immediately turned its head, its big eyes shining.
"I'm going to eat a lot."
"Yes, yes, eat a lot! Let's go."
Whoosh!
Then, they disappeared together.
Chu Bai was speechless.
"They've left?"
Lu Yufan blinked her eyes in confusion.
Chu Bai scratched his head. "I don't understand either."
"Didn't she just ask you for something?"
At this moment…
Whoosh!
They appeared in front of Chu Bai again.
"I forgot! Daddy, give me my little frying pan."
She extended her hand to Chu Bai.
"Can you stop calling me 'Daddy'?" Chu Bai said helplessly.
"Oh, but don't boys like girls calling them that?" She blinked her eyes in confusion.
Then, she looked at the little dragon on her shoulder and said, "Lil Dragon, didn't you say that he would like it?"
Lil Dragon stretched out its little claws and scratched its head in confusion, "Even Lil Dragon's smart little head can't understand."
Chu Bai took out her frying pan.
"My frying pan!"
The girl's eyes sparkled as she reached out to grab it. Unfortunately, there were system restrictions, so she could not grab it.
"I can give it to you, but you have to promise me one thing."
"Yes, yes, yes. Go on, go on."
"Come with me for a mission," Chu Bai said.
"Huh? If you're so powerful, why do you still need me to accompany you?"
She blinked her eyes.
Lil Dragon moved closer to the girl's ear and said, "Master, maybe he thinks that you're also very powerful and he admires you."
When she heard this, the young girl proudly puffed out her chest!
"No problem!"
"Let's go. We'll set off now."
Chu Bai patted Lu Yufan's shoulder.
"I'm going too?"
Lu Yufan pointed at herself.
"Yes, you're going too."
"That's great!"
The thought of being able to complete a mission with the great God Bai Ye made her very excited.
However…
Hmph!
Why did he have to bring this beautiful girl along?
As expected, no man was a good person.
"My little frying pan."
The young lady extended her hand to Chu Bai again.
Chu Bai threw it to her.
"My frying pan!" 𝑏𝘦𝑑𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮
She rubbed the frying pan here and there, looking extremely excited.
"Let's go," he said.
Then, Chu Bai led the two of them toward the Nine-Story Demon Tower.
Chapter 88
The mission of the Nine-Story Demon Tower required three people to enter.
Chu Bai did not know who to look for for the last person, so he decided to just choose her.
Chu Bai was quite curious about this player.
[Ding. Player Mengyi and Lil Dragon has requested to add you as a friend. Do you accept?]
!
Chu Bai turned around and looked at the young girl behind him.
She retracted her head and smiled at Chu Bai.
"I agree."
After hearing Chu Bai's agreement, she secretly changed Chu Bai's ID to 'Expert Who Doesn't Like to Be Called Daddy.'
At the side, Lil Dragon was already lying on Lil Xue'er's shoulder.
"Lil Xue'er, don't you think that Lil Dragon is the most beautiful girl you've ever seen?" the little dragon asked.
"Of course, Lil Xue'er is more beautiful," Lil Xue'er said without hesitation as she walked forward.
"No, no. Lil Dragon said Lil Xue'er is the most beautiful, so Lil Xue'er must also say Lil Dragon is the most beautiful."
Lil Dragon immediately looked very anxious.
"Then Lil Dragon is also the most beautiful, as beautiful as Lil Xue'er," Lil Xue'er said.
"Hehehe, that's more like it. However, Lil Dragon is a little prettier than Lil Xue'er."
"Lil Xue'er is prettier than Lil Dragon."
"No, no, Lil Dragon is a little more beautiful than Lil Xue'er."
…
The two children were talking to each other endlessly.
Lil Dragon was a beautiful little blue dragon, and her voice was very cute and sweet. She would probably be a beautiful little girl in human form.
Behind Chu Bai, Lu Yufan was chatting with the young girl.
"Meng Yi, is Lil Dragon your pet? You're amazing. You've just left the novice village and you already have a pet."
Her ID was Mengyi and Lil Dragon, and she had just learned from the chat that her name was Long Mengyi.
To be honest, she was indeed an innocent girl who was not vigilant. She was even a little silly. Generally, no one would tell their real name in the game.
"Not a pet but a good friend! Lil Dragon has been with me for a few years. She's a very, very good friend and also a family member. She's Mengyi's only family member," Long Mengyi said.
"Ah? It's been a few years?"
Lu Yufan was stunned.
Chu Bai, who had overheard their conversation, frowned.
"Yup! I met Lil Dragon in King's Descent and brought her to The World and then to Fate," Long Mengyi nodded and said truthfully.
"It can't be?"
Lu Yufan was stunned.
Some high-level equipment could be brought to other games, but Lil Dragon was a dragon. It was a life.
Pets could not be brought over.
"Huh? Isn't it normal? I often watch TV and play games with Lil Dragon at home," Long Mengyi asked, blinking her big eyes.
Lu Yufan shook her head.
Chu Bai knew that she was not that simple.
However, this news had indeed shocked him!
Could the characters in the game be brought into reality? How did she do it?
Then, Mengyi moved to Chu Bai's side and reached out to tug at Chu Bai's clothes.
"Dad, aren't you like this?"
Chu Bai's mouth twitched.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I meant, Brother Bai."
She then quickly changed her words.
Chu Bai glanced at her.
Long Mengyi immediately felt that she had called him by the wrong name again.
"Uncle Bai?" she asked tentatively.
Chu Bai shook his head helplessly, then said, "You're the only one who can call me that."
"Woah! I'm so amazing, Lil Dragon and I can actually do something that even God Bai Ye can't do, hehehe."
This girl's brain was obviously different from others.
However…
Lil Dragon did not appear in the game as a pet because she was not on the pet ranking list, and the frying pan was not on the equipment ranking list either.
"They are players."
Long Mengyi suddenly saw a few players passing by.
She took out her frying pan with a swoosh!
...
The little dragon also jumped onto her shoulder as if it was a conditioned reflex.
"Charge!" Long Mengyi said.
"Charge, charge, charge!" the little dragon raised her little claws and shouted.
Whoosh!
Then, Mengyi rushed toward the players with Lil Dragon.
"What is she doing?" Lu Yufan asked Chu Bai in confusion.
After that…
The frying pan hit a player's head.
The crisp sound even had some echoes.
Chu Bai was speechless.
Lu Yufan was speechless.
...
"I guess it's her occupational habit," Chu Bai said.
Swoosh! 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝑜𝑚
The sound of the frying pan hitting the players' heads could be heard continuously.
"Show us mercy, heroine!"
The three players were all beaten to a critical state by Long Mengyi.
"Heroine, I can't resurrect. Please spare my life."
Long Mengyi stood in front of them with a frying pan in her hands and her arms crossed.
The little dragon stood on her shoulder and did the same.
"Hand over all your equipment and gold coins!"
Lil Dragon nodded repeatedly. "Yes!" Hand them all over!"
The players swallowed their saliva and then removed all their equipment.
Lil Dragon then sniffed.
"Master, he still has more," Lil Dragon pointed at one of the players and said.
Whoosh!
Long Mengyi raised her frying pan!
"I'll give it up, I'll give it up."
"Let's go," he said after giving away everything.
The three players ran away.
As soon as they ran away, Long Mengyi's big eyes looked as if they had turned into gold coins.
"I'm rich, I'm rich! Gold equipment! Wahhhhhhhhhhh!"
She immediately pounced on the equipment.
"Master, Master, are we going to eat a lot of good food?"
The little dragon wagged her tail and asked happily.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Then, they ran over.
Lil Dragon jumped onto Lil Xue'er's shoulder.
"Lil Xue'er, if you say that Lil Dragon is prettier than you, Lil Dragon will ask Master to give you delicious food," Lil Dragon said arrogantly.
"No need! Master will give it to Lil Xue'er." Lil Xue'er then went to Chu Bai's side and tugged at the corner of his clothes.
She was so cute.
"Here, have some chewing gum," Lil Dragon said immediately.
"Chewing gum? What's that?"
Lil Xue'er blinked her big eyes in confusion.
Seeing that Lil Xue'er did not understand, Lil Dragon immediately acted like an adult and said, "It's very, very sweet and delicious. You can blow bubbles with it. While swallowing it, you'll feel very content."
"Huh? You swallow it? You can't swallow chewing gum," Lu Yufan quickly reminded.
Long Mengyi, who had been counting the battle's yields, suddenly raised her head.
"Huh? Can't you swallow gum?"
Chu Bai was speechless.
Lu Yufan was speechless too.
Chapter 89
On the way, Lu Yufan used ten minutes to explain to them why chewing gum could not be swallowed.
Although it was not too harmful to swallow, this kind of candy should be spat out after chewing it.
Then, she was greeted with countless questions.
"But chewing gum is also candy. If you can swallow candy, why can't you swallow chewing gum?"
!
"Isn't chewing gum meant for eating? Why can't you swallow the food?"
"What's the use of chewing gum if it can't be swallowed? Is it just to blow bubbles?"
…
Lu Yufan had no choice but to turn to Chu Bai for help when she heard these serious questions.
"I don't know. I don't eat gum. I've never eaten it before."
Chu Bai immediately changed the topic.
The time for Lil Xue'er's spirit transformation was over. She turned into a cute little fox and lay on Chu Bai's shoulder.
Lil Dragon lay on Long Mengyi's shoulder.
These two little pets kept competing in everything.
"Uncle Bai Ye, where are we going? What mission is it? I'm so hungry. I still have to bring Lil Dragon offline to eat hotpot," Long Mengyi said while touching her belly.
Chu Bai raised his head and looked ahead.
"Here, we're here."
Lu Yufan and Long Mengyi also looked up.
"There's actually a tower here."
Lu Yufan then took out her Inferno Staff.
This tower was not easy to find. It was hidden in the mountains and could not be seen from the outside. One could only find it after passing through the mountains!
Moreover, this mountain range was very difficult to traverse. In addition, demonic energy surrounded the area. Hence, practically no players would come here.
"It looks so scary and sinister." Long Mengyi shrank her head.
"Master, don't be afraid. Lil Dragon will protect you."
Lil Dragon then stuck close to Long Mengyi.
"Hehehe—"
"Ah!"
The sudden car of a few crows made Lil Dragon scream.
Lu Yufan looked at them.
Usually, she was the childlike one. She did not expect that there was someone who was more childlike than her.
Chu Bai walked to the front of the Nine-Story Demon Tower.
There was a blue light wave that looked like a portal. Chu Bai reached out and touched it.
[Ding. You need to form a team of three to enter the Nine-Story Demon Tower.]
"Let's form a team."
Then, the three of them formed a team.
Chu Bai immediately used one of the fixed-point teleportation talismans.
[Ding. You've created an apex teleportation formation.]
"Let's go," he said.
Then, Chu Bai entered it easily.
[Ding. You've entered the Nine-Story Demon Tower.]
With a flash of light, the three of them appeared inside the Nine-Story Demon Tower!
The interior was definitely bigger than they had imagined!
In the pitch-black environment, the only light was a candle flame. They did not know why it had not been extinguished even after so many years!
The candlelight swayed in the wind, adding to the terrifying atmosphere!
It was even more terrifying when their shadows were cast on the wall.
"It's so scary."
Lil Dragon shrank into Long Mengyi's arms.
"Master, I only know how to rob. I don't know how to fight these scary monsters."
Long Mengyi patted her gently and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid. I'm here with you."
"Thank you, Master. You're the best."
"What I mean is, I'm here to accompany you in your fear," Long Mengyan said.
Chu Bai was speechless.
"This seems to be the sixth floor. Have all the monsters on the first five floors run away?"
Chu Bai looked at the wall. There was the number six written in blood on one of the spots.
Chu Bai wielded the God Slaying Calamity, Long Mengyi held the frying pan with both hands, and Lu Yufan held the Inferno Staff with both hands.
...
"Huh, what's that?"
Lu Yufan suddenly saw the shadow of a terrifying monster on the wall in front of them.
The shadow was right next to Long Mengyi.
Chu Bai's eyes narrowed.
"I'll kill you!"
Long Mengyi immediately turned around and smacked the frying pan behind her.
Clash!
The crisp sound echoed, and it was particularly loud in this enclosed space.
-1,639!
A huge damage value appeared above the monster's head!
The frying pan knocked on the head effect doubled the damage. The louder the sound, the higher the damage.
...
Chu Bai and Lu Yufan turned around instantly.
Behind them, there were several huge, pitch-black mantis-like monsters with blood-red eyes and drooling mouths. They were staring at them with their two sharp, knife-like claws.
Farther away, in an even darker place, they could not see the appearance of the monsters clearly, but there were dozens of pairs of blood-red eyes staring at them!
This scene was quite terrifying.
[Demonized Flying Mantis—Grade: Silver. Level:
HP: 8,000. A type of demonized monster. It's very fast and can fly for a short distance. Its attack power is extremely strong, and its claws are as hard as blades.]
[Skills—Random Slash: fly toward an enemy and slash at the target at a frequency of more than ten times per second, dealing damage with each slash. Cooldown time: ten seconds.]
[Demonic Spirit Eyes: lasts for 30 seconds. If you look into its eyes, you'll be stunned for one second. Cooldown time: three minutes.]
[Death Embrace: charges toward a target at extreme speed and clamps the target with its claws. Damage increases every 0.5 seconds. Can be clamped for a maximum of three seconds. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
"So many level 20 silver-grade monsters!"
Lu Yufan's little face showed fear.
She had been playing games for so many years, but she had never faced so many monsters with so few people in the early stages of a game!
She was only at level 10.
"It's fine. You two stick together."
After Chu Bai finished speaking, he charged toward the many monsters.
"Triple Flame Slash."
Swoosh!
-680, -1,360, -1,360!
[Ding. You've triggered the 200% damage effect of Divine Slaughter.]
"So fierce."
The two girls watched as Chu Bai charged in, their mouths slightly agape.
A dozen demonized flying mantises surrounded Chu Bai.
"Be careful."
Lu Yufan was a little scared just by looking at this scene.
A demonized flying mantis used its Random Slash skill on Chu Bai.
-19, -19, -19, -18!
Chu Bai lost ten times of damage within a second, but the total amount of health he lost was just… 200 points.
It could not be helped. Chu Bai's equipment was too advanced. This kind of monster that was not even considered a silver-grade boss could not cause too much damage to Chu Bai.
"So fierce!"
Lu Yufan's mouth was slightly agape.
"I can't take it anymore. I have to join the fight!"
Long Mengyi could not bear it anymore. She rushed in with the frying pan!
"Random shoot!"
Bang, bang, bang!
Chu Bai's ears were filled with the sound of people getting knocked on their heads.
"Lil Dragon is also joining the fight!"
The little dragon opened its mouth and spat out a blue dragon's breath.
"Elven Water Gun."
Lu Yufan also came back to her senses and began to release her skills.
"Water Prison!"
Several enchanted flying mantises were under her control.
Lil Xue'er was next to Lu Yufan, healing them at any time.
"Fan Fan, do you have any skills with a large area of effect? It's fine if the cooldown is long. Help me clear the monster's health bar," Chu Bai called out.
"I do!"
Lu Yufan then clenched her staff.
"Surging Wave!"
A tsunami-like skill appeared and surged forward.
-1,961!
As a mage, the damage over time was limited, but the skill damage was definitely the highest among all classes.
A large number of monsters had lost a quarter of their health.
"Blade Waltz!"
Chu Bai aimed at the dozen of them and started to kill them when they reached the killing line.
"He's so cool!"
Lu Yufan's mouth was slightly agape.
At this moment, a group of demonized flying mantises bypassed Chu Bai and Long Mengyi and rushed toward Lu Yufan.
Chapter 90
Facing the five demonized flying mantises, Lu Yufan somehow did not seem to be so afraid anymore.
Perhaps it was because Chu Bai was here.
"Wuwuwu…"
Lil Xue'er cried out and released Holy Light Shining Strike. A beam of light shot out and charged toward one of the mantises.
!
-7,219!
The remaining four were headed straight for Lu Yufan.
"I'm not afraid of you! Triple Water Bubble!"
The three water bubbles trapped the three enchanted flying mantises in place.
"Water Light Bullet!"
-690, -679, -688!
One had already rushed over and used Random Slash on Lu Yufan.
-201, -200, -200!
However, Lu Yufan had a shield that could block 1,000 damage.
The shield was broken.
Boom!
There was an explosion.
-10,000!
The 10,000 fixed damage instantly emptied the health bars of the four monsters beside.
Chu Bai let Lu Yufan be because he knew some of Lu Yufan's abilities. Besides, Lil Xue'er and Lil Dragon were by her side.
As long as they were not attacked by a large group of people, it would not be a big problem.
A few more mantises flew over.
Lu Yufan gripped her Inferno Staff nervously.
However, her eyes met the eyes of the demonized flying mantises.
[Ding. You've been stunned.]
Lil Xue'er was also stunned on the spot.
Lil Dragon was naturally the same, and Long Mengyi was also stunned.
It could not be helped. There were too many mantises, and most of them had released the skill Demonic Spirit Eyes. If they accidentally glanced at them, they might meet their eyes.
Chu Bai killed eight of them in a row and then took a look at the situation.
While Long Mengyi was being surrounded and beaten up, Lu Yufan, Lil Xue'er, and Lil Dragon were also being surrounded and beaten up.
However, there were not many mantises on their side. One second passed in an instant, and the control was removed.
However, Lu Yufan had been hit by a monster's Death Embrace skill.
Chu Bai rushed toward Long Mengyi.
"Triple Flame Slash!"
Swoosh!
Long Mengyi recovered, and her health bar was left at one-third.
"Thank you, Uncle Bai Ye," Long Mengyi said gratefully.
"Lil Xue'er, Light of the Holy Spirit," Chu Bai called out.
Lil Xue'er released her Light of the Holy Spirit.
[Ding. You're immune to all negative effects, and you recover 10% of your maximum health points every second.]
Then, Lil Xue'er used Heavenly Healing.
The health bars of the few of them were almost full in an instant.
-1,011!
Lu Yufan's health bar was instantly reduced by half because she was hit by Death Embrace for two seconds.
She immediately pulled back.
"Water Roar!"
She conjured a water dragon and sent the demonized flying mantis flying.
"You dare to hit me? I'll kill you in seconds!"
Lu Yufan snorted, then conjured three more water bubbles to control the monster.
"Ten Consecutive Water Bullets!"
Bang, bang, bang!
-1,000, -1,001, -1,003!
With one skill, ten water bullets instantly killed the enchanted flying mantises!
It was impossible for a water mage to have such damage, but Lu Yufan had a hidden class and a gold weapon. She had many skills, so the damage was naturally not low. Moreover, she could cast it instantly!
If it were any other mage, their chanting would have been interrupted by the attack.
...
The most important thing was that she could control a single unit to ensure that her damage skills would definitely hit.
However, until now, most of her skills were on cooldown, and only a few were not because of her talent, Aerial Skill.
This was what a mage was like. They dealt high damage, but their skills were awkward when they were empty.
"Don't underestimate Lil Dragon!"
Lil Dragon pouted.
"Roar!"
The next moment, a dragon's roar was heard.
Then, dozens of blue lightning bolts struck down.
-1,091!
"So you're of the lightning attribute."
Lu Yufan was stunned.
...
She had always thought that she was of the water attribute.
Swoosh!
Long Mengyi kept knocking the mantises on their heads.
In a short time, they cleared all the mantises.
"Lil Xue'er, heal."
Lil Xue'er used Heavenly Healing to fill up everyone's health bars.
"How cool!"
Lu Yufan, Long Mengyi, and the others were all stunned!
This amount of healing and cooldown… were they not too awesome?
"Thank you, Lil Xue'er. Lil Dragon will admit that I'm only a little more beautiful and cuter than you."
Lil Dragon said, wagging her tail.
"Wu…" Lil Xue'er cried out unhappily, leaving Lil Dragon with the sight of her back view.
"Good job," Chu Bai looked at them and said.
Lu Yufan and Lil Dragon directly increased the AoE damage to the maximum. 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Long Mengyi's class was also…
However, she could hold a frying pan and act similarly to a swordsman. The frying pan was invincible. As long as she was not controlled, in a sense, she could take hits better than Chu Bai because her defense was not low either.
Lil Xue'er's healing and crowd control were at their peak. It had to be said that this combination was quite fierce.
"Hehehe, I've reached level 11! That's fast!"
Lu Yufan smiled happily.
"Yeah, I'm also level 15! Lil Dragon too. I'm happy," Long Mengyi said with a smile.
"Lil Dragon is also happy."
Lil Dragon jumped into Long Mengyi's arms.
Sure enough, it was great to follow a big boss.
"I can use today to level up," Chu Bai said.
"Yes, yes."
Lu Yufan nodded.
Chu Bai then looked at Long Mengyi and said, "You don't have to rush with me. There are many monsters, and only Fan Fan is behind us. Lil Dragon and Lil Xue'er are not too close to us. As long as we protect them, we won't lack AoE damage. You don't have to be afraid of dying. With Lil Xue'er around, I'll take the front."
"I understand, Uncle Bai Ye!"
Long Mengyi nodded vigorously.
"Uh, Uncle Bai Ye…"
"What?"
Chu Bai looked at Long Mengyi.
"Can we pick up the equipment now?"
Long Mengyi smiled at Chu Bai.
"Uh… Let's pick it up."
"Wahahaha… Lil Dragon, charge!"
Long Mengyi's big eyes sparkled with greed.
"Charge, charge, charge!"
"So many! Woah! This drop rate was too ridiculous! Why is there so much silver equipment? All of them were dropped? Wahhhhhhhhhhh!"
Lu Yufan also looked at Chu Bai.
"Yeah, why is the drop rate so high?"
"My luck is at the max," Chu Bai said.
Chu Bai was the team leader, so everyone's drop rate was based on Chu Bai's luck.
"Woah!"
In a short ten seconds, they had picked up dozens of silver equipment, dozens of bronze equipment, and countless copper coins and medicine bottles.
"After the battle, we'll split the equipment," Chu Bai said.
Long Mengyi nodded vigorously.
With this drop rate, she would be rich even if she split the loot equally among three people.
"Let's go to the next floor."
Then, they walked forward and went up the narrow stairs!
There was a thick black fog in front of them. Perhaps it was demonic qi. It should be the demonic qi that was blocking the monsters from going up and down.
They passed through the black mist and climbed the stairs to the seventh floor.
This level was not much different from the sixth level.
However, the moment they entered, they saw many monsters lying on the ground.
Perhaps they had sensed the movement as the monsters raised their heads!
Many pairs of red eyes were staring at them, looking extremely terrifying!
Roar!
The largest monster in the distance stood up and roared.
Then, all the monsters stood up.
Chapter 91
Judging from the number of blood-red eyes, there were about a hundred of them.
The biggest pair of eyes undoubtedly belonged to the boss.
The monster's appearance was completely black. It looked a bit like a rhinoceros, but it was thinner and weaker than a rhinoceros. It was covered in bone spikes.
[Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros King—Grade: gold. Boss level: 20. HP: 100,000. Originally, it was just a normal rhinoceros. However, due to the corrosion of demonic qi, it has mutated! It has even grown several bone spikes on the outside of its body. They are extremely hard and have the ability to attack.
!
[Skills—Earth Stomp: when the front foot stomps on the ground, the ground will crack, and soil and stones will fly up to ten meters in front of it, causing damage and sending the enemy flying. Cooldown time: 20 seconds.]
[Death Impact: speed increases by 100% as it charges toward a target. Once hit, it'll deal great damage and send the target flying. Cooldown time: 30 seconds.]
[Demonic Erosion: releases a demonic mist that increases all attributes by 50%. The mist spreads for 20 meters, causing all enemies within the range to be blinded and all attributes to be reduced by 50%. Once you enter the mist, the mist will spread as far as you walk. The fog lasts for one minute. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
[Bone Spike Pulse: the Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros' ultimate skill. It'll shrink its body into a ball and then roll for 30 seconds. The target will receive great damage from the bone spikes and the impact damage. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
This was the Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros' attribute, and this monster was the biggest boss.
The rest of the Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceroses were level 15 to level 20 gold-grade monsters. They did not have Demonic Erosion and Bone Spike Pulse.
Chu Bai glanced at the Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros King's ultimate move.
If he were to release this skill, would he also grow bone spikes and roll around?
"They're all gold-ranked monsters."
Lu Yufan's little face was a little nervous.
"Woah! Hundreds of level 15 to level 20 gold-ranked monsters. We're rich!"
On the other hand, Long Mengyi rubbed her hands together in excitement.
"Just do as I say," Chu Bai said. "You guys be careful. I'll go kill the boss first."
"Alright!"
They nodded hard.
"Lil Xue'er, Holy Moment."
"Wuwuwu…"
Then, Lil Xue'er activated Holy Moment.
Whoosh!
Chu Bai charged into the group of monsters.
He was too brave.
Lu Yufan and Long Mengyi were frightened by this scene.
"Let's take advantage of the amplification effect and fight!"
Long Mengyu held her frying pan and charged at the Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceroses.
Whoosh!
She leaped up and smashed the frying pan into the head of one of the Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceroses.
-2,690!
"Wow! It feels so good!"
The damage was very high because of Lil Xue'er's enhancement. At the same time, the damage of knocking on the head was also doubled. In addition, the sound was very loud, so it probably added a lot of damage. This damage value was comparable to Chu Bai's.
Clang!
Then, she flicked the Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros upward and aimed it at the head with a loud clang.
The damage exploded.
"Feels so friggin good!"
An Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros released Death Impact and charged at her.
However, Long Mengyi held the frying pan in front of her chest and blocked the Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros' attack. She did not suffer any damage, but she was forced to retreat.
"Lil Dragon, Explosive Dragon Breath!" Long Mengyi shouted.
Lil Dragon retreated to the back and spat out thunder-attribute dragon breath.
Lu Yufan released Surging Wave again.
The 20 Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceroses that had rushed over were all sent flying by the tsunami.
-1,791!
The area of effect damage of her move was too much.
Also…
[Ding. Aerial Skill activated.]
The cooldown was reset!
"Surging Wave!"
With another surge, the 20 Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceroses lost nearly 4,000 HP.
Lil Xue'er's attack power had increased, so it had no effect on a mage like Lu Yufan.
Long Mengyi's improvement was very significant.
-4,929!
A critical hit dealt explosive damage.
...
"Wow! Lil Xue'er is too strong!" Long Mengyi exclaimed in shock.
Upon hearing this, Lil Dragon was unhappy.
"Lil Dragon is also powerful."
Then, she was surrounded by lightning.
"Have a taste of Lil Dragon's Lightning Heavenly Prison."
With her as the center, heavenly lightning fell in an area!
She charged into the group of monsters with thunder.
Boom, boom, boom!
The lightning surged and struck the monsters.
"So powerful."
Lu Yufan also exclaimed when she saw this.
...
Each of their damage output was too high!
The reason was simple. They were all extraordinary!
It definitely crushed 99% of the players.
In fact, the damage was not lower than Chu Bai's.
However, their ability to sustain damage was naturally not as good as Chu Bai's.
"Mengyi, almost all my skills are on cooldown. I have to wait for them to cool down," Lu Yufan shouted.
"Noted! I'm back! Lil Dragon, come back."
Long Mengyi recalled.
On the other side, Chu Bai passed through the group of Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceroses and charged straight at the Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros King.
"Ruling Strike."
-1,360!
The boss was stunned for two seconds.
"Triple Flame Slash!"
-1, 360, -1,360, -5,440!
[Ding. You've triggered 200% of Divine Slaugher's damage.]
"Blade Waltz!"
-1,360, -2,720, -1,360, -1,360, -2,720!
After a series of explosions, Chu Bai landed on the ground.
"Shadow Clone."
The Demonic Dragon Cloak's skill was released, and the two clones rushed to the sides, attracting the attention of the other Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceroses.
Roar!
After the Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros King woke up, it immediately charged at Chu Bai.
Chu Bai also rushed over and used a 'Z' movement technique. After dodging the impact, he immediately turned around.
-1,360!
"Gluttony!"
[Gluttony: after activation, a shield that can block 1,000 damage will be formed. If any magic damage is taken during this period, the full damage will be dealt and the damage will be converted into shield points. Lasts for ten seconds. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
Gluttony's armor skill could help Chu Bai block at least 1,000 points of damage.
"Infinite Killing Intent."
[Infinite Killing Intent: locks onto a target within sight and instantly deals two times attack power damage. Cooldown time: one minute.]
-2,720!
Chu Bai's explosive power was definitely not lower than a mage's, not even Lu Yufan's.
After that, the Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros King released Demonic Erosion.
However, this skill had no effect on Chu Bai.
In the surroundings, the monsters had also gathered around. Their skills and attacks came one after another.
-97, -98, -97!
With Chu Bai's over 300 defense, he was not dealt much damage.
He shuttled back and forth among the monsters, attacking whenever he had the chance.
The amplification time was almost up.
On the other hand, dozens of monsters had already rushed toward Lu Yufan and the others.
The group had instakilled more than 30 monsters, and it had only been 30 seconds.
Lil Xue'er's Holy Moment allowed them to be immune to demonic qi attacks, but… Although these monsters were demonic, their attacks were more physical.
"Triple Water Bubble!"
Lu Yufan released it twice in a row and controlled six of them.
"No, I've used up my burst."
Lu Yufan furrowed her brows.
The monsters had already surrounded them.
Everyone was being attacked continuously, and their health bars were dropping very quickly.
This was the awkward part about mages. They had high burst damage at the start, but it was especially awkward when their skills were empty.
"I'm here! Infinite Shadow Attack!"
Long Mengyi threw the frying pan at an Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros. In the air, the pan split into dozens of copies and smashed at the surrounding monsters!
Clash!
The monsters were all sent flying.
The frying pan fell back into her hands.
"Retreat!"
Then, they took the opportunity to distance themselves.
Lil Xue'er's Heavenly Healing had restored their HP to full.
"They're here again. My skills still have about 10 seconds of cooldown," Lu Yufan said.
"Wuwuwu…"
Lil Xue'er called out.
Holy Light's Stun was released, and all monsters within 20 meters were stunned for two seconds.
"Awesome!"
They took the opportunity to quickly pull out of the encirclement.
Chu Bai's situation was not looking good either!
There were too many monsters, too many levels, and too much HP.
Their attributes were high enough.
However, if they were to face a level 20 gold boss, they would need several players to work together! Not to mention that there were so many monsters now.
They were simply fighting in a situation that normal people thought was a dead end.
To Chu Bai, he could definitely solo a level 20 gold boss, but he would definitely need time! He also had to be very careful!
Especially with so many monsters around, his HP was dropping very quickly.
"Is this the feeling of following God Bai Ye to farm monsters? This is too exciting," Long Mengyi said excitedly.
A normal person would not dare to come to such a place. Perhaps only hundreds of second-transition players would have the qualifications to come to this level to fight, right?
The three of them were here. Although it was a little difficult to fight…
They seemed to be able to fight!
"Are you guys alright?"
Chu Bai shouted as he dodged.
"We're alright. What about you, Bai Ye?" Lu Yufan asked as she dodged the attack.
"It's good that you're fine. Lil Xue'er is around, delaying the cooldown of the monsters' skills. I have to kill the boss, or its skills will be too powerful," Chu Bai shouted.
Chapter 92
The Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros King was unable to do anything to Chu Bai in a short period of time.
This made it extremely angry.
There were hundreds of powerful monsters here, but they could not do anything to a few weak humans of such low levels?
Roar!
!
The Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros King roared.
In the next instant, all of the Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceroses were wrapped in black light.
They seemed to have gone berserk.
"What's this skill? This attribute wasn't even on the description."
Sensing the sudden increase in speed and attack strength of those monsters, Lu Yufan and the others found it a little difficult to resist.
"It might be a lord-type boss ability," Long Mengyi said. "It can increase the attributes of the monsters."
The players themselves were just at the normal level, and they were in an area of the map where it was impossible for others to enter. They would die if they did. However, the general attributes of these monsters had increased. The situation was not optimistic.
Chu Bai had many skills, but against so many monsters, he really did not have much of a way to clear them quickly. No matter what, he was only a level 22 player who had not even completed his second class transition.
"Should I just use Catastrophe—Gluttony?"
Chu Bai frowned.
No!
Even if the boss was killed, there were still so many monsters left. He had to force the boss to use its ultimate skill.
"Are you alright?" Chu Bai asked loudly.
"Bai Ye, don't worry!" Lu Yufan shouted while holding her staff.
"Uncle Bai Ye, don't worry. Just be careful! We can handle this side!" Long Mengyi also shouted.
"A super large frying pan!"
Then, the pan in her hand became a hundred times bigger!
"Come on, come on. Although I haven't eaten yet, I'm not afraid of you!"
Long Mengyi waved the huge pan in her hand and slapped away a large number of monsters! 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝗺
Lu Yufan heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, she condensed a skill.
Around her, water was flowing.
"Water Language Curse!"
Dozens of streams of water spread out like dozens of water dragons, sweeping up all the monsters around.
-5,019!
This was Lu Yufan's ultimate move.
She had wanted to delay using it, but the monsters they were facing were too high in level and quantity, so she had to use it.
The water dragons spread.
Dozens of the monsters were instantly killed by Lu Yufan.
On the other side, Chu Bai had managed to clear one-third of the Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros King's HP despite being surrounded by dozens of monsters.
Roar!
The Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros King gave a loud roar. Then, its body began to emit a black light as it curled up into a ball.
[Ding. You've obtained the skill—Bone Spike Pulse.]
"It's finally here."
The reason he dared to come here was naturally because of his infinite skills.
The Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros King turned into a ball of bone spikes and charged at Chu Bai.
"Ruling Strike!"
Chu Bai forcefully endured getting injured and rushed over.
-680!
-1,191!
Chu Bai's health bar was emptied by two-fifths, but his Ruling Strike had also stunned the Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros King, stopping its ultimate move.
"It's my turn. Bone Spike Pulse!"
In the next moment, bone spikes grew out of Chu Bai's body. He then curled into himself.
Whoosh!
Following that, Chu Bai rolled on the ground continuously, charging at these monsters.
-1,360, -1,360, -1,360!
It was quite embarrassing. He had turned into a ball and was colliding here and there…
He hoped that the monsters he would encounter in the future would not have more awkward skills.
"Wow! How did Uncle Bai Ye become like this? Pfft, that's funny, hahahaha—"
Long Mengyi looked in front of her. A large group of Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceroses was being sent flying. Naturally, she saw Chu Bai in his current state.
...
She could not help but hold her stomach and burst out laughing.
Lu Yufan was speechless.
"Pfft…"
She could not help but laugh.
This ultimate move was impressive. Chu Bai kept releasing it, rolling around, causing damage, and sending the monsters flying.
After rolling for a few minutes, a large number of monsters were cleared.
Lu Yufan and the others also broke through the group of monsters and rushed to Chu Bai's side.
Chu Bai stood there after he finished casting his skill.
He felt a little dizzy.
There were still a dozen Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceroses and the Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros King.
"Lil Xue'er, Holy Moment."
...
Holy Moment's cooldown was over, and Lil Xue'er used it again.
The few of them went all out.
"Triple Flame Slash!
"Blade Waltz!"
Swoosh!
"I'll slap you to death!"
Swoosh!
"Triple Water Bubble!"
"Waterfall!"
After a few minutes…
The monsters were all cleared by them.
Bai Ye took a deep breath.
It was much more difficult than he had imagined.
"I… I'm already at level 13. I leveled up so quickly," Lu Yufan said happily.
"The three of us actually fought hundreds of level 15 to level 20 gold monsters and a level 20 gold boss! It's so cool!"
Long Mengyi felt that she was extremely cool.
"Lil Dragon is also very cool!" Lil Dragon quickly said.
With hundreds of gold-grade monsters and a boss, it was normal for Lu Yufan to level up twice in a row.
Chu Bai and Lil Xue'er were still at level 22.
Level 20 required too much experience, and Chu Bai had the debuff that required him to gain double the experience to level up.
However, it did not matter. He would definitely be able to reach level 23 today.
"Rest, rest. Let's wait for our skills to cool down, and then we'll get ready to go to the next floor," Chu Bai said.
"Yes, yes!"
Lu Yufan nodded.
Long Mengyi and Lil Dragon looked at each other.
Whoosh!
They rushed over to pick up the equipment.
Other than eating, this was the happiest moment in their lives.
"Wow! Why is there so much gold equipment?! One million for each piece and I'm rich!"
Lil Dragon said, "We're rich, we're rich!"
"It's time to change into a full set of gold equipment," Chu Bai said to Lu Yufan.
"Alright!" Lu Yufan nodded.
"This is too exciting. Our levels are so low, and we don't have any equipment or skills, but we've already come to this difficult area and won the battles here. Bai Ye, you're so amazing."
Lu Yufan looked at Chu Bai with admiration.
"We're all very powerful," Chu Bai said.
It was indeed so.
Lu Yufan, Long Mengyi, and even Lil Dragon were much stronger than Chu Bai had imagined.
"Hehehe."
"At the very least, your current combat strength can get you into the top 100 players," Chu Bai said.
"That's because I have a hidden class, so I have more skills than normal classes," Lu Yufan said.
"That's what you obtained yourself. It's a part of your strength."
For some reason, Lu Yufan was especially happy to hear Chu Bai's praise!
"I'll try my best to maintain it!"
"Good luck!"
"Yes, yes!"
Lu Yufan then started chatting happily with Jiang Qianyue and Yu Qingyu.
Players could only add each other face-to-face, but if someone gave special permission to a specific person, they could directly search for the ID and add the person as a friend!
"Sister Qianyue, Chu Bai, a friend, and I fought hundreds of gold monsters. They were all level 15 to 20, and there was even a level 20 gold boss," Lu Yufan bragged.
Jiang Qianyue was speechless.
It seemed like an ordinary move, but Jiang Qianyue knew how much of a death wish this was!
There were only three of them and they dared to fight hundreds of golden monsters?
They won?
"That's so awesome," Jiang Qianyue replied.
Chu Bai was too strong!
Long Mengyi and Lil Dragon returned with a full load.
"Let's go to the next floor."
"Charge, charge, charge!"
Long Mengyi raised her arms and shouted excitedly!
Lil Dragon was the same.
They then entered the eighth level.
Chapter 93
On the eighth level of the Nine-Story Demon Tower.
This place was a little different from before.
This place looked much brighter.
A monster was lying there, drowsy.
It was also black in color, but it had a pair of wings. It looked like a flying monster.
Flying monsters were a little difficult for them to deal with!
Only Lil Dragon and Lu Yufan would have an easier time attacking them.
"Just one monster?"
Lu Yufan blinked her eyes!
Lil Dragon sat on Long Mengyi's shoulder and waved her little fists!
"Watch Lil Dragon beat it down!"
[Dark Night Blood Bat King—Grade: Dark Demon Boss. Level: 22. HP: 820,000. The powerful monster sealed in the Nine-Story Demon Tower doesn't seem to be a demon but a monster. It possesses extremely strong combat power.]
[Super Sonic Wave: charges up for one second and releases a powerful super sonic wave, causing damage to all places within the reach of the super sonic wave and stunning targets for three seconds. Cooldown time: two minutes.]
[Power of the Dark Night: covers the entire body with wings for one second, making the user invincible. After one second, speed increases by 200%, defense increases by 100%, and attack increases by 150%. Duration: 20 seconds. Cooldown time: five minutes.]
[Night Tornado: while flying in the air, it flaps its wings toward the target below and releases the Night Tornado to rush toward the target. The Night Tornado comes with a tracking function. Unless it hits the target or the wall, it'll continue to track. After hitting, it'll deal damage and send the target flying for five seconds. It can be released up to ten times. Cooldown time: three minutes.]
[Shadow Avatar: transforms into an invisible existence in the dark and enters a state that can't be selected for ten seconds. During this time, movement speed is increased by 500%. Cooldown time: ten minutes.]
Lu Yufan was speechless.
Long Mengyi was speechless.
"A dark demon boss!"
Lu Yufan's mouth was slightly agape as she held onto her staff.
"What a powerful skill."
Long Mengyi was also shocked.
This was a level 22 dark demon boss?
How did God Bai Ye manage to do a one-on-one fight before?
"Back away. I'll pull the monster. You guys are ranged."
This monster's ultimate skill was very useful to Chu Bai, but once he used it, the monster would naturally attack Lu Yufan and the others.
Also…
Super Sonic Wave would also hit them.
Chu Bai could easily defeat this boss, but it would be difficult for them.
"God Bai Ye, you have to be careful," Lu Yufan shouted.
"Mhm."
Taking advantage of the fact that the boss had yet to take flight, Chu Bai directly hit it with Ruling Strike, stunning it.
Lil Xue'er released Holy Moment.
Lu Yufan immediately condensed a long-range skill and blasted it at the Dark Night Blood Bat King.
Lil Dragon also breathed out a dragon's breath.
Long Mengyi…
Whoosh!
She threw the frying pan at the Dark Night Bloody Bat King.
Clash!
A crisp sound was heard, and then the frying pan returned to her hand.
The cycle repeated.
Could a melee class be played like this?
"Triple Flame Slash!"
The Dark Night Bloody Bat King wanted to fly just as it woke up.
Just as it was about to fly up into the sky, Lu Yufan controlled it with a water bubble.
Long Mengyi threw the frying pan at its head.
The Dark Night Blood Bat King finally managed to fly into the sky.
As soon as it flew into the sky, it released Night Tornado.
It flapped its wings, and a black tornado flew out.
It flapped its wings continuously, and ten tornadoes followed.
Lu Yufan and Long Mengyi quickly ran away. Behind them, several dark tornadoes were chasing after them.
"Lil Xue'er, Light of the Holy Spirit."
Light of the Holy Spirit was released.
At that moment, Lu Yufan was hit.
...
[Ding. You're immune to the flying effect.]
-1,391!
As a mage, her defense was too low.
The damage instantly emptied nearly half of her health bar.
After that, Lil Dragon, Lil Xue'er, and Long Mengyi were also affected.
Chu Bai used Blade Waltz and dodged the attack.
After that…
Super Sonic Wave!
The Dark Night Blood Bat King released it immediately.
It was very decisive.
Chu Bai had just landed on the ground when a damage value appeared above his head.
...
Lu Yufan's health bar was almost empty.
Fortunately, they had the Light of the Holy Spirit's buff, which made them immune to the three-second stun. Otherwise, they would be in big trouble.
Long Mengyi used her frying pan to block in front of her.
The invisible super sonic wave seemed to be blocked by her frying pan, and then…
It seemed to have been flicked at the Dark Night Blood Bat King, as it was stunned and fell to the ground.
Lil Xue'er immediately cast Heavenly Healing, raising their health bars.
Whoosh!
Chu Bai threw a few teleportation talismans at them.
"You guys go out first. This boss is too destructive to you. I can't protect you," Chu Bai said.
If he directly released his Power of the Dark Night, then Chu Bai could only watch as they were killed in seconds! Even with a 500% increase in speed, it was not something they could dodge.
Lil Xue'er only had invincibility and resurrection spells that could help, but it was obviously not worth it, and…
Chu Bai could not kill this boss in seconds.
They were going to experience many extremely dangerous situations where they might even be killed in seconds.
"Will you be okay?" Lu Yufan asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine," he said.
She knew very well that when facing a boss of this level, she would not be able to do anything if the boss focused its attention on her. Instead, she would become a burden to Chu Bai.
"Uncle Bai Ye, we'll be leaving, then."
Chu Bai nodded.
"Lil Dragon, come back."
Lil Dragon looked at Lil Xue'er and shouted, "Even Lil Xue'er who isn't as pretty as Lil Dragon has to be careful!"
Whoosh!
Then, they disappeared on the spot.
Chu Bai heaved a sigh of relief. He was completely relieved.
If it were a group of normal monsters, they would have a way to fight them. Even if it was a dark demon boss, it was not impossible to fight it. However, this boss' skill left Chu Bai with no choice.
For their safety, he could only let them leave!
However, Chu Bai had nothing to worry about now. He only needed to do one thing, and that was to force the boss to use its ultimate skill.
"Lil Xue'er, protect yourself!"
Chu Bai then looked at the monster that was flying toward the sky again.
No way to attack?
Impossible!
"Water Language Curse!"
Chu Bai had received Lu Yufan's ultimate skill.
Dozens of streams of water rushed toward the Dark Night Bloody Bat King.
"Water Language Curse!"
"Water Language Curse!"
"Water Language Curse!"
…
Chu Bai released the skill continuously.
This skill forced the Dark Night Bloody Bat King to dodge continuously!
However, it was still a dark demon boss.
It released Power of the Night and became invincible for a second. Then, it increased its speed and attacked and charged at Chu Bai at an extremely fast speed.
-591!
To Chu Bai, this damage was high enough.
-591!
It was so fast that even Chu Bai could not dodge it, let alone Lu Yufan and the others.
"Gluttony."
After activating the gluttony skill of the gluttony armor, Chu Bai gained 1,000 points of shield.
"Hurry!"
He activated Haste, and his speed increased again.
"Water Language Curse."
The awkward thing was that Lu Yufan could cast the Water Language Curse instantly, but Chu Bai could not.
However, it did not matter. Once he obtained the big move, he would be invincible!
Chapter 94
Chu Bai and the monster kept at it.
With Lil Xue'er's healing, Chu Bai's condition was very good.
Finally, the Dark Night Blood Bat King could not hold it in any longer.
Power of the Dark Night was activated!
"He's finally released it! Lil Xue'er, come back!"
Chu Bai then put Lil Xue'er into the pet space.
The five seconds of silence had long been achieved by Lil Xue'er, and she had not used any skills in these five seconds, so Chu Bai could directly put her into his pet bag.
"Power of the Dark Night!"
Whoosh!
After that, Chu Bai entered the state where he could not choose his Power of the Dark Night!
The two of them were facing each other, and neither of them could hit the other.
The Dark Night Bloody Bat King was speechless.
He was dumbfounded!
He attacked Chu Bai continuously, but the attacks passed through Chu Bai's illusionary figure.
Originally, Chu Bai was hesitating whether to use this ultimate move or not!
This was because there was still the ninth level, which was definitely more difficult.
However, if he did not release it, Chu Bai would have to fight this boss for hours.
It could not be helped. Flying monsters had high attributes, high health, and fast speed. With Chu Bai's current skills and state, if he were to fight this boss alone, it would be the same as when he fought Gluttony!
Thus, it was not that Chu Bai was too strong but that the skill that gave him unlimited skills was too exaggerated.
If he encountered a powerful skill, he could easily kill the dark demon boss a few hundred times!
If he did not have that skill, how could he solo a dark demon boss at this stage?
The effect of Power of the Night ended.
The Dark Night Blood Bat King returned to its normal state and was about to attack Chu Bai.
Chu Bai released it again.
The Dark Night Blood Bat King was completely dumbfounded!
"Now, it's my turn!"
Just like that, Chu Bai destroyed the Dark Night Blood Bat King while it was still in a state where it could not be selected.
[Ding. You've reached level 23, HP +10, mana +10. You've obtained five attribute points that can be freely allocated.]
[Ding. Lil Xue'er's level has increased to 23.]
When his attributes were allocated to his strength, his attack reached 690.
Then, Chu Bai walked over.
Two dark demon weapons had actually dropped on the ground.
"A ring?" 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝙢
This was a good piece of equipment!
A dark demon ring!
[Shadow Ring—Grade: Dark Demon. Usage requirements: it has not been appraised and can't be used.]
He already had an interspatial ring!
However, he would never have too many rings!
Chu Bai no longer lacked the luck attribute that he especially wanted. He hoped that this Shadow Ring was not mainly for luck.
Chu Bai then looked at the other dark demon weapon.
[Blood Shadow Wings—Grade: Dark Demon. Usage requirements: it has not been appraised and can't be used.]
"It can't be flying equipment, right?"
Chu Bai was slightly stunned.
If this was a piece of flying equipment, then just this attribute alone would allow him to sell it for a sky-high price!
He would wait until he went back to appraise it.
There was also a scroll.
[Super Sonic Scroll—Grade: Dark Demon (one-time scroll). After use, all units within a range of 1,000 meters will be stunned for three seconds. Usage: one.]
"This is a good thing."
Chu Bai kept it.
There was nothing else that was good.
Then, Chu Bai squatted down and released his collecting skill.
[Ding. You've successfully collected the raw meat of Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros.]
[Ding. Target has no items to collect.]
[Raw meat of Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros: meat from the body of the Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros. It seems to be a type of food.]
...
"How can such a thing drop from this monster?"
Chu Bai was stunned.
A dark demon boss had dropped the meat of the monster from the previous level?
Logically speaking, such a situation should not have happened in the game unless…
Unless there was a special reason, which meant that this piece of meat might have other special uses, forcing it to appear on the boss!
"Why did you kill Little Demon's food?"
Suddenly, a cold, emotionless girl's voice came from behind Chu Bai.
Chu Bai's pupils shrank.
He suddenly turned back!
Chapter 95
Chu Bai's gaze was fixed on a figure standing in the dark.
He could not see clearly!
This place was very dark, but he could vaguely make out a human figure.
Her body was emitting a faint light, which was a bit like the color of the God Slaying Catastrophe!
!
Black-red and black-brown, but there was a little bit of pure blood-red.
"Who's there?!"
Chu Bai pointed at her with the God Slaying Catastrophe in his hand.
She slowly walked out of the darkness without making any sound.
After taking a good look at her, Chu Bai was completely stunned.
It was a little girl!
To be precise, she was about the same age as Lil Xue'er. She was a little girl less than ten years old!
Her two little feet were bare, and she was wearing a blood-red and black princess dress.
Her pupils were blood-red at the moment, which was very terrifying!
Her blood-red hair and skirt fluttered due to some unknown force, and she had the posture of a powerful expert!
Her appearance…
She was so beautiful that it was suffocating!
Perhaps this was an appearance that could only be created in the game! Including Lil Xue'er's appearance!
It was definitely impossible in reality!
It was because no matter how beautiful she was, she should not be able to reach this level.
She was exquisite and flawless like a painting. She looked like a dream, like a night elf.
However, her face was frighteningly pale, and she even looked like a female ghost.
Especially in this state when her hair was fluttering.
"Why did you… kill Little Demon's food…"
She stared at Chu Bai with her blood-red eyes and asked again.
"It… Is it your food?"
Chu Bai pointed at the corpse of the Dark Night Blood Bat King.
"It's a friend… and also… food."
Chu Bai was speechless.
[Little Demon—Grade: Celestial. Level: 25. HP: 1902100/2000000. Her identity is mysterious. She seems to be a member of the demon clan. There's a very special and evil power in her body. 10,000 years ago, due to a power outbreak, she was sealed in the Nine-Story Demon Tower by the three goddesses. However, it seems that only half of her soul exists in her body. Current state: half-soul.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
F*ck!
It turned out that this little girl was the big boss of this Nine-Story Demon Tower, the existence that the city lord said was harmful.
"Little Demon… is really angry."
After saying that, she raised her hand at Chu Bai.
The shadow of a black hand grabbed Chu Bai and lifted him up.
This was not a form of control.
[Ding. You're immune to the instant death effect.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
Death upon direct trigger?
Then, Chu Bai tried to struggle, but he realized that he could not move at all.
"Blade Waltz."
However… he could not even release any skills!
It was not a silencing skill. He was immune to this effect, but he was simply trapped.
"Huh? Why aren't you dead?"
Little Demon's head tilted to the side, revealing a doubtful expression. Her blood-red pupils also became much weaker.
She then walked toward Chu Bai.
Her height only reached Chu Bai's legs.
Then, she raised her head and stared at Chu Bai's Flaming Battle Boots with her blood-red eyes for a very long time.
She raised her hand after a moment.
[Ding. You've lost Flaming Battle Boots.]
She immediately took off Chu Bai's shoes and put them on her bare feet.
Chu Bai was speechless.
At this moment, she saw the raw meat of Earth Demon Bone Rhinoceros on the ground, and her eyes lit up.
Her blood-red pupils returned to normal in an instant, and her blood-red hair turned black and fell to the ground.
...
"It's delicious."
Then, Little Demon ran to the raw meat in a hurry.
Plop!
"Ah!"
As the shoes were too big, she fell forward.
Little Demon sat on the ground and touched her forehead. She stood up and ran over again.
Plop!
"Ah!"
She let out another cry of pain.
Chu Bai's mouth twitched.
He had been in a very tense environment just now because she had said that the Dark Night Vampire Blood King was her friend and her food.
...
Chu Bai felt that she was an extremely evil existence.
Now, for some reason, he felt relaxed.
It seemed like… she was really just a little girl.
"Why don't you put me down and I'll get it for you?" Chu Bai said at this moment.
She turned around and blinked her big, beautiful eyes at Chu Bai.
Really, he was now harmless and innocent.
"You're a bad guy. I don't believe you."
After she finished speaking, she walked over slowly.
It seemed like the skill's duration was over, and Chu Bai landed on the ground.
The moment he landed, Little Demon turned around and looked at him.
"You scoundrel!"
Her voice was childish, completely different from her cold and emotionless voice before.
Her hair fluttered in the wind again, and her pupils and hair turned blood red once more.
"Die!"
Her voice became cold and emotionless again.
Chu Bai was speechless.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, she charged toward Chu Bai.
"Don't you want to eat? I have food."
Chu Bai immediately took out a meat bun and held it in front of him.
Whoosh!
Little Demon stopped.
Her little face was very close to Chu Bai's hand, and her little nose was almost touching his hand.
Then, she sniffed the meat bun with her little nose.
At the same time, she returned to normal.
When Chu Bai saw this, he lowered his hand.
She sniffed the meat bun, then stuck out her pink tongue and licked it gently.
In the next moment, she took a bite of the big bun and began to chew.
"It's so delicious… Oh…"
She took another bite of the big bun in Chu Bai's hand.
Mouthful after mouthful, she quickly finished it.
After she finished eating, she seemed to want more as she sniffed Chu Bai's palm again.
She raised her head, her big eyes full of desire.
"Little Demon wants more…"
Chu Bai took out another meat bun for her.
Little Demon reached out to take it and began to eat it.
"I want more…
"I still want to eat…
"I still want more."
…
She had finished all of Chu Bai's meat buns.
"There's no more," Chu Bai said.
As soon as he finished speaking, her hair fluttered again, and her pupils seemed to be on the verge of turning red.
"Don't worry, I'll bring you out so that you can eat more, okay?" Chu Bai asked.
How could he bear to kill this little girl?
He would bring her back and raise her. Then…
That did not sound appropriate.
However, what Chu Bai meant was to borrow her powerful strength. She might be able to help him a lot.
"System, is my idea theoretically possible?" Chu Bai asked.
She was the boss but not completely.
Chu Bai did not want to kill her.
Moreover, he might not be able to kill her.
As long as an NPC was of a higher level, even if it was a monster, it could not just be a monster. However, she was clear-headed and could speak clearly, so she was obviously a high-level NPC.
[Ding. Player Bai Ye, she's still a little girl. Your thoughts are too dirty →_→.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
Chapter 96
It was not…
What thoughts could he have?
He just felt that this little girl NPC was very powerful and not simple.
How were his thoughts dirty?
She was a high-level demon NPC that had lived for 10,000 years.
What if he brought her out and triggered a hidden mission?
"You want to take Little Demon out?"
Little Demon blinked her big eyes when she heard Chu Bai.
Then, she pointed outside and said, "Are we leaving this place?"
Chu Bai nodded.
In the next moment, she squatted on the ground with a frightened expression.
"Don't… Don't, don't go out. It hurts."
It was obvious that she was terrified.
Chu Bai frowned.
"Don't tell me that the seal of this Nine-Story Demon Tower will cause her extreme pain when she comes into contact with it?"
It seemed easy to understand.
Otherwise, she would have left long ago.
"System, is there a way to bring her out?" Chu Bai asked.
[Ding. Little Demon doesn't seem to be human, so you can keep her as your pet. After entering the pet space, you can take her out. Humans can even keep other humans as pets.]
Take her in as a pet?
In other words, he, Chu Bai, would have two little girls as pets?
Uhh…
Hiss!
In short, it was a huge profit.
Chu Bai then walked over to her and squatted down.
He used a gentle tone that he had never used in his life. He smiled and said, "Little Demon, are you willing to recognize me as your master? If you're willing, I can take you out and it won't hurt."
Little Demon raised her head and blinked her big, confused eyes at Chu Bai.
"Really?"
"Of course."
"No, you're a bad person. I don't believe you, and you even used a very, very bad spell on me."
Her little head was shaking like a rattle drum.
"When did I use a very, very bad spell on you?" Chu Bai asked.
"It's you. You made Little Demon fall while walking."
Chu Bai was speechless.
"You're a bad person. Mommy said that I can't go with bad people."
Mom…
Mother and daughter…
Ah, no…
"But… I gave you good food. Would bad guys give you good food?" Chu Bai said with a smile.
Huh?
Upon hearing Chu Bai's words, Little Demon raised her head and looked at Chu Bai. She blinked her big eyes as if she was thinking about something.
"Oh, right. You're not a bad person."
She immediately laughed, looking especially cute and beautiful.
"That's right. Come with me and I'll bring you to eat a lot of good food, okay?"
Chu Bai cried out in his heart, 'Why does it feel so sinful?'
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Little Demon nodded repeatedly.
[Ding. Little Demon requests to recognize you as her master. Do you agree?]
Chu Bai looked at her, and she was also looking at Chu Bai with eager eyes.
"I agree!"
In the next moment, a connection was formed between the two of them.
However, Little Demon did not transform into her demonic beast form.
[Ding. Are you sure you want to keep Little Demon as her ID?]
"Yes, keep it."
...
[Ding. The system has detected that Little Demon is not a human, demon, God, monster, or beast. She can only be put into the master and servant space.]
Chu Bai frowned.
[Little Demon—Level: 0. Grade: none. HP: 100,000. A mysterious little girl who loves to eat big meat buns. She seems to contain the power of some kind of divine weapon in her body. Owner: Bai Ye. Status: half-soul, self-awakening. Favorability toward you: 80 (intimate friend).]
[Skills: none]
Huh?
Why did she lose all her skills?
[Ding. You've received a mysterious pet. Little Demon has shared her power with you. You've received the skills—Blood Sacrifice, Blood Feud, and Blood Spirit.]
Chu Bai raised his brows.
Was this the case?
[Blood Sacrifice: an exclusive ability of Little Demon. At the cost of blood, it can obtain a powerful amplification effect. Effect: forcibly reduces HP. For every 2% of HP sacrificed, a 10% attack bonus will be gained. Duration: 30 seconds. Mana consumption: none. Cooldown time: 30 minutes.]
[Fight to the Death: an exclusive ability of Little Demon. Effect: consume 50% of your maximum health points to choose a target and fight to the end. The damage dealt to the target is increased by 100%, and each attack has a 1% chance to trigger the instant-death effect. The effect will not stop until the target is dead and can't be deactivated otherwise. Mana consumption: 1,000. Cooldown: six days. Note: after activation, self-defense will be reduced to zero, and HP can't be recovered.]
...
[Blood Spirit: a passive ability of Little Demon. After receiving a fatal attack, it'll forcibly retain 1 HP. Cooldown time: 30 days.]
Chu Bai was speechless.
Oh my God!
These three skills…
Were they not too exaggerated?
With Blood Sacrifice, for every 2% of his HP he sacrificed, he would gain 10% of his attack power. If he sacrificed 90% of his HP, it meant that his attack power would increase by 450%!
Was this not forcefully increasing the damage?
He would be invincible!
This degree of attack power increase was simply ridiculous!
What was even more exaggerated was the second skill. It would consume half of his HP and lock on to a target, increasing the damage by 100%. It seemed like it was just that, but… every attack had a 1% chance of instant death!
This was… f*cking…
Although his defense would be reduced to 0 and he could not recover his health… once it was triggered, it would be an instant kill!
It could not be canceled, and once it was released, it would be like the name of the skill—Fight to the Death!
It was either he died or his opponent died.
As for the third skill, it was a passive skill. If one received fatal damage, they would forcibly retain 1 HP.
Full fault tolerance!
It meant that after Chu Bai released Fight to the Death, he had a high fault tolerance, and Lil Xue'er was invincible!
Boss!
He wanted to find a powerful boss!
He was too ruthless!
"Daddy."
After Little Demon recognized Chu Bai as her master, she had an additional layer of connection with Chu Bai. She trusted Chu Bai, which could be seen from the favorable impression points!
Moreover, after she recognized him as her master, her memories also disappeared.
Due to the dozen or so meat buns, she immediately regarded Chu Bai as bosom friends.
She happily ran toward Chu Bai and hugged him.
Chu Bai was speechless.
Another one who called him daddy…
"I want to eat a great one."
Little Demon raised her head, her big watery eyes full of desire.
"Huh?"
Chu Bai was distracted and misheard.
"Oh…"
Little Demon put her right index finger to her mouth and blinked her big eyes in confusion.
"It's a meat bun, not a great one."
Chu Bai was speechless.
"Ahem."
Chu Bai's face turned red.
It was a sin. A sin!
"Let's go, I'll take you out," Chu Bai said.
"Alright!"
Chu Bai put Little Demon into the master-servant space and disappeared on the spot with a teleportation talisman.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, he arrived outside the Nine-Story Demon Tower.
"Bai Ye!" Lu Yufan shouted in surprise.
"Uncle Bai Ye, you've finally come out. I'm so hungry that my stomach is rumbling," Long Mengyi touched her belly and said aggrievedly.
"Lil Dragon can't go hungry. If I go hungry, I won't be smart," Lil Dragon said as she rubbed her little belly.
"Yes, you've worked hard. Let's go offline to eat," Chu Bai said.
"Hehehe…" Long Mengyan nodded with a smile. "Then…"
There was a pile of equipment in front of him.
"This is the equipment! I split it into three parts and didn't take any more than I should've," Long Mengyi emphasized.
"Really?"
Chu Bai looked at her in disbelief.
Long Mengyi immediately dodged his gaze.
"Aiya, alright, I took an extra piece."
She then threw a gold-graded item on the ground.
She met Chu Bai's eyes.
"Alright, alright, just two. I really only took two more." She threw out another gold-graded weapon.
Then, she realized that Chu Bai was still looking at her.
"How annoying! Alright, I took three items! I only took extra three pieces! I definitely didn't take any more! I swear."
Chu Bai nodded.
"Master, why did you confess? If you hadn't said it, the expert wouldn't have known how many you took," Lil Aragon blinked and asked.
Long Mengyi stomped her feet and said, "He knows, he knows! His eyes are so evil. He must have seen through me long ago."
Chu Bai replied indifferently, "I really didn't know. How would I know how many pieces of equipment were dropped? I was just trying to trick you."
"Ahhhhhhhh! You're so cunning!"
Long Mengyi clenched her fists.
"It's obviously because Master isn't as smart as me," Lil Dragon mumbled. "I wouldn't have told the expert that Lil Dragon had also stolen three items."
Chu Bai looked at her.
"Give me the three pieces of equipment." Chu Bai extended his hand.
"How did you know that Lil Dragon took three more? Master, Master, the expert is smarter than Lil Dragon. How did he know? I'm done for, I'm done for. I've met my match." Lil Dragon looked scared.
"Didn't I tell you that Uncle Bai Ye's eyes are sharp?" Long Mengyi mumbled.
"Um… Didn't Lil Dragon say it herself just now?" Lu Yufan pointed at Lil Dragon and said.
"Ah? Did I?"
"Did she?"
Lil Dragon and Long Mengyi blinked and asked at the same time.
Chapter 97
Chu Bai was speechless.
How did these two survive until now?
"Impossible! Lil Dragon's smart little head wouldn't have confessed without being hit! Master, do you believe in Lil Dragon?"
Long Mengyi nodded her head firmly like a chicken pecking at rice.
"I believe you, I believe you! Lil Dragon's little head is very smart." Then, she looked at Chu Bai and said, "Uncle Bai Ye, stop hiding your intelligence. You must have seen through us. Don't worry. Lil Dragon and I won't do it again. We really won't."
Chu Bai wanted to express that he did not hide his intelligence, but he just said, "Alright."
Chu Bai nodded.
"Hehehe, then Lil Dragon and I will go offline to eat some good food. Bye-bye, Uncle Bai. Bye-bye, Fan Fan."
She waved her hand and then disappeared.
"They're so cute," Lu Yufan said to Chu Bai.
"Oh, that's right. Little Demon."
Whoosh!
There was a flash of light, and Little Demon appeared beside Chu Bai.
"Woah!"
Lu Yufan cried out in surprise when she saw Little Demon!
She was so beautiful!
She was so beautiful that she was almost devilish!
Did she really exist?
It seemed like such a cute and beautiful girl could only exist in a game.
Lu Yufan really wanted to pinch her.
"Daddy."
Little Demon then hugged Chu Bai.
She had lost all her memories.
Little Demon only had memories of Chu Bai.
The connection between her and Chu Bai made her very dependent on Chu Bai. She subconsciously thought that this dependence was because Chu Bai was her father.
"Daddy…"
Lu Yufan opened her mouth.
Yet another one who called Chu Bai daddy…
Then, she thought of Lil Xue'er.
The two of them were so cute and beautiful. If he wanted to do some perverted things, they would probably not refuse, and they would not…
"Chu Bai, you're so lecherous."
Lu Yufan's mouth was slightly agape.
"What did I do?"
Chu Bai was dumbfounded.
"You're a pedophile."
Who had ever seen a player whose pets were little girls?
Should they not be monsters?
Chu Bai said that this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
"Don't talk nonsense. I met Little Demon in the Nine-Story Demon Tower. She recognized me as her master."
"Then why did she call you daddy? Did you ask her to call you that?" Lu Yufan asked.
"Is she… Mommy?"
Little Demon put her index finger to her mouth and looked at Lu Yufan curiously with her big eyes. She then tilted her head and asked Chu Bai.
Lu Yufan was speechless.
Her face immediately turned red.
"You see, you can't say that I taught Little Demon to call you mommy, right?" Chu Bai shrugged his shoulders and said innocently.
Lu Yufan then squatted down and gently touched Little Demon's chubby face with both hands. "Little Demon, you have to call me big sister."
"Oh…" Little Demon raised her head and looked at Chu Bai.
Chu Bai nodded. "Yes, just call her sister."
"Big Sister."
Then, Little Demon called out in her childish voice.
"She's so obedient and cute."
Lu Yufan could not take it anymore.
Who could stand a girl like that?
"In the future, you have to call me big brother. Don't call me daddy," Chu Bai said as he rubbed Little Demon's head.
...
"Oh… No, you're daddy." Little Demon shook her little head.
Chu Bai shook his head awkwardly.
It felt like she had a strong obsession with this form of address.
"Let's go. I'll take you to eat something good."
"Alright!"
[Ding. Little Demon's favorability toward you +5, current favorability is 85.]
Then, they walked toward the city together.
…
Somewhere.
A woman was sitting on a divine throne in the hall. She was wearing a blood-red dress, and her legs were crossed. She rested her cheek on one hand as if she was resting.
She looked noble, flirtatious, dangerous, and terrifying.
...
Suddenly, she opened her beautiful eyes, which were emitting a flirtatious red light. She raised her head.
"Little Demon, my noble daughter, have you come out?"
She looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and her eyes turned blood-red.
Then, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
…
"Daddy, Daddy, big rat."
On their way back, they encountered some monsters. Little Demon pointed at a Berserk Demonic Rat and said in a childish voice.
She could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"I want to eat it."
Chu Bai quickly said, "I'll give you something better when we get back. This isn't good. It's raw. The meat is only good when it's cooked."
"Oh…"
Little Demon blinked her big eyes, then raised her head and asked Chu Bai, "If… If this big rat can be cooked, does that mean it can be eaten?"
Chu Bai smiled and nodded.
After that…
A monster's scream could be heard.
Chu Bai looked over.
He watched helplessly as the Berserk Demonic Rat cried out, and the health bar above its head was directly emptied. Then, it lay on the ground and died, its whole body steaming.
Chu Bai was speechless.
Lu Yufan was speechless.
The two of them were stunned.
This?
The monster died directly and… was cooked?
Chu Bai and Lu Yufan looked at each other in shock.
"Chu Bai, what's going on?" Lu Yufan asked, confused.
"I don't know." Chu Bai was also stunned.
"Ah! The big rat is steaming. Daddy, the big rat is steaming." Little Demon tugged at Chu Bai's sleeve excitedly.
Gulp!
Chu Bai swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Little Demon, do you see that big rat?"
Chu Bai pointed at the other Berserk Demonic Rat.
Little Demon nodded repeatedly.
"Let it let out some steam."
Little Demon then pointed at the Berserk Demonic Rat and shouted in a childish voice, "The big rat is steaming!"
-2,300!
That Berserk Demonic Rat was directly killed and cooked.
Chu Bai was speechless.
Lu Yufan was speechless.
"Wow!"
Little Demon then clapped her hands happily.
Up ahead, a Sakura Nation player was farming monsters.
"Damn it! It's Bai Ye!"
He turned around and saw Chu Bai. Then, he gritted his teeth!
"Men! Bai Ye is here!"
He then shouted.
Little Demon looked over.
"Big Brother, come on."
Little Demon simply felt that the figure was very powerful, but she did not know what it was, so she pointed at the player and shouted.
-2,010!
The player's health bar was instantly emptied.
Chu Bai was speechless.
Lu Yufan was speechless.
…
In the tavern.
Looking at the delicious food on the table, Little Demon could not help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
"Little Demon, it's time to eat," Chu Bai said.
"Thank you, Daddy."
Then, Little Demon started eating.
Lu Yufan looked at her while resting her chin on her hand.
"Chu Bai, is she your pet too?" she asked.
Chu Bai shook his head. "No, we're master and servant. "
With a master-servant relationship, Chu Bai's leveling up would not give Little Demon any experience!
Her state was written very clearly. She was a half-soul and had awakened on her own.
Half-soul meant that she had an incomplete soul, and there was only half of it in her body!
On the other hand, self-awakening meant that her power would gradually awaken on its own without the need to increase her level.
"So she can't fight with you?"
Chu Bai nodded. "In theory."
However, it seemed that if Little Demon awakened some power, Chu Bai might also have it!
"Chu Bai, what do you think Little Demon's ability is?" Lu Yufan asked.
Even now, Chu Bai could not figure it out!
Little Demon had too many secrets!
She was definitely not just an existence that had once harmed people because of a power riot!
She had a shocking secret!
Chapter 98
Little Demon's ability…
In Chu Bai's eyes, what she had was more like divine power.
There was a feeling of absolute obedience.
Whatever she said would happen.
It was a very ridiculous kind of power.
When she faced a monster, she could kill it and cook it immediately. When it died, it would emit steam.
What was this?
"I don't know what kind of power she has either. Let's not think too much about it. Let's eat," Chu Bai said.
"I'm not eating," Lu Yufan said. "It's getting late, so I have to go offline."
"That's fine."
Chu Bai nodded.
"Remember to log off early and rest, okay?"
"Alright," he said.
"Bye."
Then, Lu Yufan chose to go offline.
Chu Bai looked at Little Demon.
The table of delicacies was quickly emptied.
Basically, it was all eaten by Little Demon.
Although she ate very slowly, she finished everything in a short while.
"Do you still want to eat?"
Chu Bai asked as he gently stroked her hair.
"Mhm!"
Little Demon nodded hard, and then…
She looked at the table full of food that had been cleared with her big eyes and shook her head.
"I won't eat anymore."
She said in a baby-like voice.
"Waiter, fill up the table with dishes, please," Chu Bai said directly.
"Alright!"
Hearing Chu Bai's words, Little Demon immediately revealed a smile. Her big eyes curved into crescents, and she looked extremely cute.
"Thank you, Daddy."
[Ding. Little Demon's favorability toward you +5. Current favorability: 90 (live and die together).]
The higher the favorability, the harder it was to increase it. However, after taking Little Demon out for two meals, it had directly reached 90.
The little girl was too gullible.
Pah!
This was too simple.
"Little Demon, say something and fill this plate with food," Chu Bai said to the little girl.
The main thing was that her ability was too amazing. Even the detection skill could not detect her skills!
Chu Bai really wanted to know.
"Oh…"
Little Demon blinked her big eyes, then pointed at the plate and said in a baby voice, "The big plate is full now."
Chu Bai's eyes were fixed on the plate.
However… 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚
There was no change.
In that case, what were the conditions for Little Demon's ability to command the law?
According to the game's nature, there should be restrictions on levels and grades.
..
On the other hand…
"Can you still lock onto Bai Ye's position?"
Feng Ling was on the phone with Old Dream Tian Yu.
"Yes, he just returned to Liuzhou City. He's having a meal in a tavern right now," Old Dream Tian Yu said.
"Find an opportunity to act," Feng Ling said.
He had originally wanted to use a peaceful method to obtain Chu Bai's pet. However, Dugu Wenjian's announcement made him understand that it was impossible to obtain the Calamity Fox through normal means!
In that case, he could only kill Chu Bai and capture his pet by force.
"I understand! I'll gather the members of Feng Ling Dynasty now," Old Dream Tian Yu said.
...
"Alright."
…
"Do you still want to eat?" Chu Bai asked with a smile as he looked at the table of delicacies that Little Demon had finished off.
"I won't eat anymore. I'm full."
Little Demon leaned against the chair and rubbed her belly in satisfaction.
Chu Bai nodded. "Sure. You can go back and rest."
"Alright. Goodbye, Daddy."
Then, Little Demon came to Chu Bai's side and happily gave him a kiss. She entered Chu Bai's master-servant space after.
Chu Bai heaved a sigh of relief and walked out, heading straight for the city lord's residence.
[Ding. All players, please take note. Fate has been updated. You can now connect to the real world's network in Fate.]
Whoosh!
...
When the system notification came, everyone was in an uproar and revealed happy expressions.
"F*ck! In other words, if I see something in the game, I can record it and upload it to the internet without going offline?"
"It's more than that! We can even f*cking lie down in the game and watch live broadcasts or TV shows."
"Moreover, we can also create a live stream room, and we can even live stream in-game situations. Whether it's in reality or in the game, as long as we enter the platform, we can watch real-time live streams. Weren't there many people doing this in the past? It's quite popular. After signing a contract, we'll earn quite a bit of money."
…
This information was not of much use to Chu Bai. He would not show his face anyway.
Soon, he arrived at the city lord's mansion.
"Hahaha! Young hero Bai Ye, you're back so soon?"
The city lord smiled and waved at Chu Bai, then walked over.
"Yes, City Lord. I've completed the mission."
"Oh? What's the situation at the Nine-Story Demon Tower?" the city lord asked.
"They've all been eliminated. Moreover, I think that the demons in the surrounding area might not have come from the Nine-Story Demon Tower."
The reason Chu Bai said this was because he had learned from his conversation with Little Demon that for the past 10,000 years, she had been feeding on the demons inside. It was the Dark Night Blood Bat King who had helped her catch them and bring the food to her.
Therefore, there were no monsters on the first few floors. They were all already eaten by her.
The city lord nodded. "Yes. Regarding this matter, I've also received some information. The demon shouldn't have come from the Nine-Story Demon Tower. It should be from the Demon Continent. After all, our Liuzhou City is connected to the Demon Continent."
Then, he looked at Chu Bai and asked, "Young hero Bai Ye, can you help me investigate this matter? It seems that a demon king has appeared in the Sky Demon Forest near the edge of the Demon Continent. The situation in Liuzhou City is extremely dangerous. I've already sent someone to report to His Majesty, but it'll take time."
[Ding. Congratulations, you've triggered the mission—Investigate the Sky Demon Forest.]
Chu Bai nodded. "Of course! No problem!"
"Thank you very much! I suspect that the demon race of the Sky Demon Forest might have sent an army to attack Liuzhou City. The demons that keep appearing in front of us are just them testing the waters."
Chu Bai nodded.
"Oh right! This is the reward for having you go to the Nine-Story Demon Tower."
Then, he handed Chu Bai a red pearl.
"This is…"
The city lord said that he would definitely like the reward for this mission!
Chu Bai took it.
[Ding. You've obtained Critical Hit Spiritual Pearl.]
[Critical Hit Spiritual Pearl—Grade: Celestial. Effect: upon equipping, the user will permanently gain a 30% critical chance.]
The city lord was right!
It was something he needed.
To Chu Bai, who had a 0% critical hit rate, critical hits were definitely an attribute he needed.
A permanent critical chance of 30%. Normally, only celestial-tier equipment or emperor-tier equipment would have this chance!
"Many thanks, City Lord!"
"This is what you deserve," the city lord said, waving his hand. "But this pearl needs to be embedded in equipment for it to be effective."
Chu Bai did not know which equipment of his could be embedded.
"You can go to Blacksmith Tang in the city. He's the best blacksmith in the city. He might have a way."
"Alright!"
"However, I can't think of any reward for the mission I gave you just now. Is there anything you need? I'll think of a way to get it."
Chu Bai thought for a moment and said, "I want to go to the Hua Nation battlezone in North Wind Town. However, the journey is quite long. I'm afraid it'll take a few days to reach there. I wonder if you have any ways for me to get there quickly?"
"The Hua Nation battlezone? I remember now. That's the exclusive territory of you otherworld adventurers, and it's indeed a little far from here. If you can bring me accurate information, my city lord mansion has a flying demonic beast that can travel a thousand miles in a day. It should be able to take you there in half a day."
Chu Bai's eyes lit up when he heard this!
"Thank you, City Lord. I'll go now!"
"Be careful!" He warned.
Then, Chu Bai left.
Not far from the city lord's mansion, a few players saw Chu Bai walk out.
"Hall Master, Bai Ye has come out of the city lord's mansion. I think he triggered some kind of mission. I think he's leaving the city."
Old Dream Tian Yu's voice came from the communication device. "Alright, keep an eye on him!"
Chapter 99
In the starter village, they could not beat Chu Bai, but now, they were out of the village.
Whether it was the number of members, combat strength, or equipment, they had all been improved!
In their eyes, Chu Bai had not even completed his second class upgrade. Would a large number of players who had already upgraded to their second class not be able to kill him?
It would be unreasonable if they could not kill him.
To put it simply, he, Old Dream Tian Yu, had gathered 1,000 players from Feng Ling Dynasty. 1,000 talents would be enough to kill him, right?
On the other hand…
The players from Sakura Nation's Black Dragon Gang were also staring at Chu Bai.
"Branch Leader, Bai Ye has come out of the city lord's mansion."
A Sakura Nation player was staring at Chu Bai.
The reason why Sakura Nation wanted to get rid of Chu Bai was simple. Chu Bai had killed many of their people. At the same time, the I am God incident caused a huge commotion. Furthermore, the leader of the Black Dragon Gang was I am God.
"Continue to keep an eye on him!"
"Yes!"
At the same time…
The people from Merica Nation's Pantheon were also staring at Chu Bai.
Arsel stared at Chu Bai as he walked away.
"As long as I kill Bai Ye, I'll be the hero of Merica Nation!"
All members of Merica Nation had their experience reduced by 10%. As a top guild, Pantheon of Merica Nation would definitely want to kill Chu Bai.
There were many benefits. In addition to getting Chu Bai's equipment, Chu Bai was now the public enemy of Merica Nation. No one was willing to let him live.
If Pantheon were to get rid of Chu Bai, their prestige in Merica Nation would increase greatly. Once the guild was established, members would quickly join it.
Chu Bai, on the other hand, went to Blacksmith Tang's blacksmith shop.
Blacksmith Tang was a burly middle-aged man in coarse clothes. He looked a little sloppy.
At this moment, he was pulling the firebox with one hand and pounding the red steel with the other.
"Adventurer from another world, how may I help you?" Blacksmith Tang asked Chu Bai.
Chu Bai took out the Critical Hit Spiritual Pearl.
"Can you help me embed a piece of equipment?"
Blacksmith Tang put down his work and walked over while wiping his sweat.
"This pearl is easy to set. What equipment do you want to set it on?"
Chu Bai then took out the Demonic Dragon Cloak.
This cloak was the only one he would use until the end. The God Slaying Catastrophe could not be embedded!
"Hmm, no problem. 500 gold coins," Blacksmith Tang said casually.
Then, his gaze fell on the destiny epaulet on Chu Bai's chest.
He revealed a shocked expression.
"This is the destiny epaulet?"
Chu Bai nodded.
"I never thought that I'd be able to meet the chosen one who cleared the abyss mode Tower of Trials in my lifetime. Leave the item with me and come back to get it tomorrow. I don't want the money," Blacksmith Tang said directly.
[Ding. Blacksmith Tang's favorability toward you +20.]
"How can I accept that?"
Blacksmith Tang looked at Chu Bai with bright eyes and said, "It's nothing. I'm just a loner. Being able to forge equipment for the Son of Destiny can be considered a contribution to the continent."
"Many thanks."
"You're welcome."
"Then I'll leave it to you, Blacksmith Tang."
Blacksmith Tang nodded. "Mhm, you go ahead! I'll handle the rest."
"Alright!"
Chu Bai then left.
He looked at Chu Bai's back.
"The chosen one has appeared. It seems like there isn't much time left before the deadline of the prophecy."
After that, Chu Bai went to Mr. Sun's appraisal shop.
"Why is it you again?"
When Mr. Sun saw Chu Bai, he could not help but roll his eyes.
Chu Bai revealed an innocent smile.
"Shopowner Sun, I often come here to patronize your business, but you're not happy with it. Ah, Shopowner Sun, is your lucky draw event canceled?"
Shopowner Sun coughed and said, "The event is over. What equipment do you have? Let me see."
Chu Bai then took out the Shadow Ring and the Blood Shadow Wings.
"Two dark demon weapons? Are there that many dark demon beasts in the vicinity?" He was surprised.
...
He was a brat with such a low level, yet he kept on appearing with dark demon-graded weapons. He was indeed worthy of being the Son of Destiny.
"20 gold coins for two pieces. Ten gold coins after discount," Shopowner Sun said.
F*ck!
What a loss!
If he did not make any money the first time, he would not make much money in the future even if he did not give a discount.
Chu Bai took out 20 gold coins. At the same time, two rays of light flashed. Mr. Sun had finished his appraisal.
Chu Bai picked up the equipment and took a look.
[Blood Shadow Wings—Grade: Dark Demon. Usage level: 20. Usage requirements: close combat class. A pair of wings from the Dark Night Blood Bat King. When equipped, it gives a powerful movement speed bonus and a flying effect.] 𝘣𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮
[Attributes: movement speed +100%, jumping height +100%, miss rate 10%.]
[Flight: when equipped, the user can fly in the air for five minutes. Cooldown time: one hour.]
The attribute bonus was almost the same as the divine emperor-graded Demonic Dragon Cloak!
...
The key effect was flight!
However, Blood Shadow Wings could only fly for five minutes per hour, while the Demonic Dragon Cloak could fly without limit!
Even so, once the Shadow Blood Wings entered the market, they would definitely be fought over.
[Shadow Ring—Grade: Dark Demon. Usage level: 20. Usage requirements: any class.]
[Attributes: three fixed attributes +5, critical hit rate +10%, damage increased by 100% when fighting in the dark.]
[Skills—Night Incarnation: after release, the user will enter the state of Night Incarnation for five seconds. Can't be selected for five seconds. Can attack the opponent. Cooldown time: three hours.]
"It actually included the skill Night Incarnation."
Chu Bai was pleasantly surprised!
The five seconds of being unable to choose and being able to attack were almost equivalent to five seconds of invincibility!
Moreover, this Shadow Ring also increased his critical hit rate by 10%, which he really needed!
The critical hit attribute was rare! It could only be seen on high-tier equipment.
There was also a passive buff that doubled the damage during night battles!
Good stuff!
However, his intelligence and charm had both reached 40 points, so he did not know what the specific effects would be.
"Where's your Demonic Dragon Cloak?" Mr. Sun looked at Chu Bai and asked curiously.
"It's with Blacksmith Tang. I asked him to help me embed something into it," Chu Bai said.
"I see. Alright then. I'm going to sleep."
Shopowner Sun waved his hand at Chu Bai.
"Thank you, Shopowner Sun."
"If you want to thank me, then give me more money," Mr. Sun said, clearly in a bad mood.
"That won't do. I still have to save money to get a wife. See you next time!"
Chu Bai waved his hand and walked away.
"You little brat."
Mr. Sun smiled helplessly, then walked out of the appraisal shop.
[Ding. Shopowner Sun's favorability toward you +10.]
Chu Bai was dumbfounded when he heard the system notification!
He did not give him money, but he had a good impression of him? What the hell?
Then, he walked out of the city.
On the other hand, Mr. Sun went to look for Blacksmith Tang!
The shop's door was already closed, and it was written on it that it was temporarily closed. Shopowner Sun walked in through the back door.
"I hope you've been well since we last met, Mr. Tang," Mr. Sun said with a smile.
"What brought you here? Please have a seat!" Blacksmith Tang greeted him with a smile.
"There's no need. Mr. Tang, you have Bai Ye's Demonic Dragon cloak, right?"
"Yes!" Blacksmith Tang nodded. "I'm preparing to embed the equipment for him. Senior, do you have any advice for me?"
Shopowner Sun's gaze fell on a fiery red crystal on the table, and he frowned slightly.
"Is this his Pure Yang Heavenly Crystal, Mr. Tang?"
"It's mine," replied Blacksmith Tang with a smile.
"It seems like you and I have the same idea," Mr. Sun said while stroking his beard.
After saying that, he took out a crystal and placed it on the table.
"Then I'll have to trouble you to set this piece on it as well. It's not as precious as your Holy Forbidden grade, but it's still a little token of appreciation from this old man."
"Mr. Sun, you know him too?" Blacksmith Tang looked at Mr. Sun.
Mr. Sun waved his hand. "We're not close. He even cheated an old man of his money. He's so useless. Well, I'm leaving."
Chapter 100
On the other hand, Chu Bai had no idea about the situation between Blacksmith Tang and Shopowner Sun!
As soon as he left the village, he immediately sped toward the Sky Demon Forest at the edge of the demon territory.
"F*ck! Why the f*ck is he running so fast?"
Before Old Dream Tian Yu's men could gather, Chu Bai had already disappeared.
"Hall Master, let's just catch up to him and kill him."
Old Dream Tian Yu gave him a tight slap and said, "Are you stupid? Why don't you chase after him, then? Who can catch up to him when he's so fast? Don't beat the grass and alert the snake. When the time comes, we'll directly surround him and give him a surprise."
"Where is he going in this direction?" Old Dream Tian Yu asked.
"There are two spawn points in this direction. The first one is closer, just ahead. The monsters are generally around level 10, and I don't think he's going there. Thus, there's only the second place, the demon forest!"
Old Dream Tian Yu nodded. "Yes, it should be the Sky Demon Forest. The monsters there are generally level 15 and above, and there have been a few bosses. It's quite dangerous. I guess he's either farming or taking on a mission there. Gather and go to the Sky Demon Forest."
…
"Damn it! How is Bai Ye so fast?!"
A branch leader of the Black Dragon Gang personally led the troops. Just as he was about to do something, Chu Bai had already disappeared.
His ID was Matsushita Wanako, and he was not a female player.
Matsushita Wanako then looked at the group of players who were heading to the demon forest and asked, "Who are those people?"
"Branch Leader, they should be members of the Hua Nation battlezone's Feng Ling Dynasty. They have a grudge against Bai Ye, so they might be here to kill him," one of the Sakura Nation players replied.
"Damn them! Are they even worthy?" Matsushita Wanako cursed.
Only the Sakura Nation could kill him!
This was an order from the guild leader, I am God!
If it was not for the fact that the leader was far away, he would have come personally.
Bai Ye was the enemy of the entire Sakura Nation. he caused them to leave the starter village two days late!
If he killed Bai ye, he would be the hero of the great Sakura Nation.
Matsushita Wanako had also promised I am God that he would kill him, or he would commit suicide.
"Bai Ye can only be killed by us. His equipment and his pet can only be inherited by me! Warriors of the great Sakura Nation, follow me!"
"Yes!"
After that, the Black Dragon Gang's players also headed to the demon forest to kill Chu Bai.
…
"What the? The Black Dragon Gang of Sakura Nation and Feng Ling Dynasty of Hua Nation have gone to kill Bai Ye?"
Arsel, an expert from Merica Nation, frowned when he heard the news!
He then quickly called the president of Pantheon in Merica Nation.
"President, Hua Nation's Feng Ling Dynasty and Sakura Nation's Black Dragon Gang have both sent people to kill Bai Ye. What should I do?"
The other end of the phone was silent for two seconds before saying, "Bai Ye can only die in our hands!"
The reason was simple. All experience gained in Merica Nation was reduced by 10%. Whoever killed him would be the hero of Merica Nation.
Of course, they could not give up this honor and so much top-tier equipment to others.
"Understood!" said Arsel.
"If you bring more people, you'll at least have the number of people that both guilds have combined."
"Understood!"
Then, Arsel urgently gathered the players of the nearby Merica Nation.
Many players were watching the situation.
"F*ck! What's going on? Feng Ling Dynasty, the Black Dragon Gang, and Pantheon have all gone to the demon forest." 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶
"They're obviously going to deal with God Bai Ye. Just now, God Bai Ye went in that direction. These three guilds have no problem dealing with God Bai Ye.
"That's right, there was a feud between Feng Ling Dynasty and God Bai Ye in the starter village. Sakura Nation's I am God was exposed by God Bai Ye and was embarrassed for the world to see. The mission of Merica Nation's players was completed by God Bai Ye, and their experience gained for two days was reduced by 10%. Everyone has the absolute motive to kill God Bai Ye."
"F*ck! Something big will happen to God Bai Ye this time! How can he survive the three groups' attack? There should be a thousand people from Feng Ling Dynasty, right? The Black Dragon Gang probably has 1,000 people, and Pantheon in Merica Nation has almost 2,000 people. F*ck!"
"Yeah, even if a player gives God Bai Ye a skill, thousands of skills will be directly used on God Bai Ye. Such as lowering of attributes, dizziness, reduction in movement speed, reduction in defense, freezing, burn, and so on. F*ck! How can he survive?"
…
It was terrifying just thinking about it!
Many people headed to the Sky Demon Forest to check out the situation.
"F*ck! Big Brother!"
Playboy had just arrived in Liuzhou City and was met with this scene!
Why did he come to Liuzhou City?
It was all because of Chu Bai.
The moment Chu Bai left the starter village, he asked where he was.
For the past few days, he had been killing monsters and rushing on his way. Today, he had finally arrived at Liuzhou City!
"I'm done for!"
After that, Playboy quickly sent a message to Chu Bai.
...
[Big Brother! Be careful, the Black Dragon Gang, Pantheon, and Feng Ling Dynasty have all gone to the demon forest to kill you. Why don't you go offline, Big Brother?]
Chu Bai received the message from Playboy.
Going offline was indeed a way to avoid it.
However…
If they were ruthless and directly guarded not far from where Chu Bai logged off, they would be able to catch up to him sooner or later.
[How many people are there?] Chu Bai asked.
[Feng Ling Dynasty and the Black Dragon Gang each have around 1,000 people. Pantheon from Merica Nation should have around 2,000 people. The main reason is that they have a lot of people. It's inevitable that they have all kinds of talents and all kinds of effects. It's too difficult to fight.]
That was why it was harder to fight one against many in Fate than in any other games because everyone had talents.
Chu Bai muttered to himself. He then sent a message: [Alright, I understand. Why are you here?]
[Hehe, I'm here to look for you, Big Brother. Big Brother, didn't you say that you were going to start a guild? I'll definitely follow you.]
Playboy smiled.
...
[Okay, then you should stay nearby and level up. Once I've finished my mission here, I'm going to go offline to rest. I've been online for quite a while.]
[Okay, no problem! Big Brother, be careful.]
Chu Bai put away his communicator, his eyes focused!
With his current ability, it was indeed difficult to fight against so many people. Everyone's attributes were high, and they had thousands of talents and skills.
Thus, he had to think of a way.
Chu Bai entered the demon forest.
He was not in a hurry to farm monsters or explore. Instead, he fumbled around the forest, waiting for the players from the three groups to enter the forest.
The players from the three battlezones entered the forest from completely different locations.
They all wanted to kill Chu Bai, but they did not know where he was. They could only try their luck and go in to look for him.
This matter was quickly spreading on the forum.
Trending topics list:
[First place: Black Dragon Gang, Feng Ling Dynasty, and Pantheon has sent thousands of people to besiege Bai Ye. Can he survive?]
The comments below were also very interesting.
Zhang Xiaogen: [A few thousand people, a few thousand talents, countless skills, and all kinds of equipment. Let's put it this way. Once they find God Bai Ye, he'll definitely die unless he goes offline.]
Wang Dazhu: [It's useless even if he goes offline. They'll only gather more people and wait for God Bai Ye to come online again. Unless God Bai Ye doesn't come online anymore. If he doesn't come online, he'll be surpassed sooner or later. God Bai Ye probably doesn't want to go offline, but I have to say, going offline is the only way to survive.]
Li Juzhu: [God Bai Ye is really in trouble this time! However, he should've already expected it. How could they let the great God Bai Ye go? I'll go online and take a look to see what's going on!]
[I'm staying behind to witness it! It's so wonderful!]
…
Feng Ling crossed his legs and paid attention to this matter.
"Bai Ye, you're dead for sure this time! I don't care about anything else. I just want the Calamity Fox."
…
"This is bad! Chu Bai is being targeted!"
Lu Yufan received this message not long after she went offline. She then hurriedly ran to Jiang Qianyue and Yu Qingyu.
"Did he go offline?" Jiang Qianyue asked.
Then, they went to knock on the door, but the door did not open, which meant… Chu Bai did not go offline.
"He should be fine. He must have a way to stay online. He has a Divine Emperor weapon on him." Jiang Qianyue patted Lu Yufan's shoulder and consoled her.
…
Sky Demon Forest.
The players from Merica Nation were wandering in the forest, looking for Chu Bai.
"It's Bai Ye!"
The Merica Nation players saw a figure in front of them and immediately recognized him!
At this moment, Bai Ye was standing there, looking at them directly as if he was waiting for them.
Arsel's eyes narrowed!
"Go!"
