This dump was practically oozing with opportunities¡ªridiculous, game-breaking ones at that. ¡°Ding!¡± ¡°Ding!¡± [Wild Bull] and earned 50 experience points!

-270! -255! Ding! and the Heaven¡¯s Blessing Pearl. Just imagine what awaits for slaying a Silver-Class Boss!" Jack cracked his knuckles eagerly. Ding-dong! Ding-dong! The First Big Payday (Page 1/2) After freshening up, Jack couldn¡¯t wait to slap on his VR headset and dive back into the game. "Whoosh!" A flash of white light later, he reappeared in the bison territory, surrounded by freshly spawned beasts. Without hesitation, he whipped out his shiny new Bison Sword and hacked through a couple of them like they were butter sculptures at a county fair. True to his ¡°waste not, want not¡± philosophy, he scooped up every single copper coin that clinked onto the ground. "Huh?" Suddenly, his eyes lit up brighter than Times Square as he spotted a pair of bracers lying next to one of the bison corpses. Snatching them up, he cast his trusty **Scouting Skill**, and the item stats popped up¡ª [Bullhide Bracers] (White Quality) Defense: 2-2 Description: Made from bull leather, these bracers are about as stylish as socks with sandals. Only losers would even consider wearing them. Jack had been grinding bison all night with efficiency that would make Wall Street traders jealous, yet this was only the second piece of loot he¡¯d seen drop. The drop rates in *Eternal*? Lower than a limbo stick at a dwarf convention. Slapping on the bracers, his defense bumped up to 16-18. At this point, the bison¡¯s attacks barely tickled him, dealing only one or two points of damage. For a newbie, his stats were now so absurdly high you¡¯d think he was flexing cheat codes. He was officially "riding a rocket ship powered by pure beef," as some might say. With no time to waste¡ªand knowing most players were still stuck figuring out how to leave the starter village¡ªhe bolted back to town, drawing stares like a celebrity walking into a diner. "Holy crap, it¡¯s a pro gamer!" "This trash game has me trapped in the starter village while others are already flying off to Mars! I can¡¯t even scout his level¡ªhe¡¯s gotta be at least five levels above me!"This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there. "I haven¡¯t even beaten a slime yet, and I¡¯m ready to uninstall¡­" In *Eternal*, there¡¯s no such thing as pants¡ªarmor covers both upper and lower body unless you¡¯re rocking some rare cosmetic gear. So, with weapons, armor, helmets, bracers, boots, greaves, and rings making up the standard seven-piece set, Jack looked like a knight among peasants. Sure, he lacked greaves and a helmet, but compared to the sea of noobs still rocking their default outfits, he was basically Tony Stark showing up at a garage sale. Taking a deep breath, Jack cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted, "Selling gear! Two items total, payment first, then trade!" Alas, without an in-game megaphone system to broadcast announcements, shouting was the best he could do. Still, it worked well enough to draw a crowd faster than free pizza at a college dorm. "Gear?" Instantly, players swarmed him like bees to honey, forming a tight circle around him. Holding up the Soldier Iron Sword and Soldier Leather Armor, Jack declared, "Highest bidder gets ¡®em." "These two pieces of junk? Only I¡¯d want ¡®em. A hundred coins each, deal?" one player sneered. A hundred coins? Buddy, why don¡¯t you just try jumping over the moon while you¡¯re at it? Jack gave him a look reserved for someone who just tried dividing by zero, repeating firmly, "Highest. Bidder." "I¡¯ll pay five hundred!" "A thousand!" "Two thousand!" Thankfully, not everyone was blind to value. These two mediocre white-quality items, which would¡¯ve been ignored in any other game, were now selling for prices higher than a Tesla in a bidding war. Scarcity drives demand¡ªit¡¯s the golden rule of both gaming and real life. If something has even a shred of worth, people will throw money at it like confetti at a parade. "Ten thousand for both! They¡¯re mine!" A middle-aged man with sun-kissed skin and a build that screamed ¡°weekend gym warrior¡± pushed through the crowd. After inspecting the gear and giving Jack a once-over, he grinned. "Kid¡¯s got skills. Ever thought about joining my guild? We can talk salary." "..." When five figures hit the table, the rest of the crowd went silent faster than a library during finals week. Offering ten grand for two soon-to-be-useless starter items? This guy clearly had more cash than sense. No one dared to compete. "Sorry, I prefer playing solo," Jack replied, shaking his head. Guilds came with strings attached¡ªmandatory raids, attendance checks, loyalty points, blah blah blah. And when it came time to divvy up loot? Forget it. Jack wasn¡¯t about to let someone else decide his fate. "Fair enough." The man didn¡¯t push. After all, groveling over a newbie¡ªeven a talented one¡ªwasn¡¯t exactly dignified. Instead, he offered, "How about we add each other as friends? If you get any good drops in the future, sell ¡®em to us first. Price won¡¯t be an issue." The First Big Payday (Page 2/2) "Sure!" Jack nodded. Having a direct line to big spenders meant less time wasted hawking his wares and more time raking in profits. Why wouldn¡¯t he agree? Ding! System Notification: Long Teng Wan Li wants to add you as a friend. Accept? "Yes!" At the same time, the man realized who he was dealing with. "So you¡¯re Yi Jack Shui?" As the first player to slay a Bronze-Class Boss, Jack¡¯s name had gone viral faster than a cat video on Reddit. Denying knowledge of him would¡¯ve been like claiming ignorance of Elon Musk. Though Jack¡¯s level exceeded what his scouting skill could detect, the man had suspected he was talking to the infamous boss-slayer all along. "I¡¯ll contact you if I get anything good. Don¡¯t worry¡ªI won¡¯t lowball you," Jack chuckled, privately sending over his bank account info. "Hahaha, wouldn¡¯t dream of it." Long Teng Wan Li transferred the funds instantly, sealing the deal. Later, after removing his headset, Jack tossed the sesame seed pancakes into a skillet to heat up, grabbed a glass of water, and dialed his mom. "Hello?" Her familiar voice crackled through the phone. "Mom," Jack said. "I got the dried mustard greens you sent."If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. "Glad to hear it! I figured you¡¯d like them, so I packed extra. How¡¯s work going? Your Uncle Chen mentioned how tough it is starting out. If you need cash, I can send a few thousand¡ª" Jack laughed. "Work¡¯s fine, actually. My boss loves me. Just gave me a bonus worth tens of thousands." "Tens of thousands already?! In just a few months?" Her voice practically sparkled with pride. "Yeah." He reassured her, "Don¡¯t worry, Mom. I¡¯m doing great. If things get tight at home, I can wire you twenty grand." "We¡¯re fine, really. Just focus on yourself..." They chatted for another ten minutes before hanging up. For lunch, Jack scarfed down the heated pancakes and logged back in. Time was precious in the early stages of the game, and he needed to keep expanding his lead. After circling the starter village to confirm there were no quests left to claim, he spent fifty copper coins on a healing potion. According to the shopkeeper, the bottle contained twenty pills. [Healing Potion] Effect: Restores 50 HP per second for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 20 seconds. Description: A favorite among villagers, rumored to boost stamina and virility if taken three times daily, eight pills at a time. Stepping onto the lush grass outside the village, Jack ventured deeper into tougher zones. With $20,000 freshly deposited in his bank account, he felt like he¡¯d just won the lottery. This was his first big payday in the game¡ªand it was a five-figure haul! Sure, he fancied himself a gaming veteran, but as a recent college grad, earning twenty grand in one go was enough to make anyone¡¯s heart race faster than a caffeinated squirrel. Minutes later, he passed through the bison territory. Spotting a group of players teaming up to grind mobs, he hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "Nah, bison are too easy now..." With his current gear and level, farming bison would be like using a flamethrower to light candles¡ªa complete waste of time. Their pitiful XP rewards weren¡¯t worth the effort anymore. Beyond the bison lands lay a valley blanketed in greenery, birds chirping melodiously amidst fragrant flowers. But lurking within this picturesque scene were massive gray wolves, their presence turning paradise into predator central. [Gray Wolf] (Normal Mob) Level: 10 Health: 2000 Attack: 25-30 Defense: 18 Skill: [Bite] Description: Masters of the valley, these wolves reign supreme in the starter zone. Countless adventurers have met their end under their fangs, becoming dinner for the pack. (End of Chapter) The Demonized Wolf King (Page 1/2) The stats of the gray wolves were no joke. Compared to the Bison King, they only fell short in health but outclassed him in both attack and defense. But let¡¯s not forget¡ªthis was *Yi Jack Shui*, the guy who¡¯d just earned the title ¡°Unstoppable¡± after slaying the first Bronze-Class Boss in the game. Armed with his trusty Bison Sword, he wasn¡¯t about to back down from a challenge. With sword in hand, Jack strode toward the pack of gray wolves, radiating an aura so intimidating it might as well have been accompanied by dramatic movie music. "...Uh-oh." As dozens of razor-sharp eyes locked onto him like heat-seeking missiles, Jack felt his stomach drop. "Monsters in the starter village are already annoying enough when they gang up on you¡ªbut seriously? They can initiate attacks too?" "Awooo!" Of course, life has a way of proving Murphy''s Law true: the one thing you don''t want to happen is exactly what does. About ten gray wolves rose from their lounging positions, growling low and menacingly as they began closing in on Jack, clearly planning to surround him like a SWAT team cornering a suspect. "Meep." Without wasting another second, Jack turned tail and bolted faster than a cat chased by a vacuum cleaner. Facing three or four wolves at once? Sure, he could handle that. But ten? That would be like trying to fight off a horde of zombies with a butter knife at midnight¡ªit wasn¡¯t happening. After shaking most of the pack, he glanced over his shoulder at the two stubborn wolves still hot on his heels. With lightning reflexes, he scooped up a rock and hurled it at one of them, forcing it to veer sharply to avoid getting beaned. "Whoosh!" Taking advantage of the distraction, Jack zeroed in on the second wolf. As it leapt toward him, jaws snapping like a malfunctioning bear trap, he executed a flawless slide tackle¡ªThe narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. -79! The wolf nearly sank its teeth into his neck, but Jack reacted quicker than a caffeinated squirrel, shoving his bracer straight into its mouth to block the bite. His health bar immediately dropped by nearly a tenth, but this bought him precious time. In one fluid motion, he flipped over, pinning the wolf beneath him, and drove his iron sword into its belly twice in rapid succession. Basic Combo! -110! -116! Thanks to the Bison Sword¡¯s ridiculous attack power, Jack shredded through the wolf¡¯s defenses like tissue paper. "Awooo!" The other wolf lunged at him next, but Jack rolled out of the way just in time, kicking the pinned wolf off him like a soccer ball before scrambling to safety. Back on his feet, Jack went on the offensive, weaving between the two wolves like Neo dodging bullets in *The Matrix*. His high damage output made quick work of them both. Ding! System Notification: Congratulations! You¡¯ve defeated [Gray Wolf] and earned 80 experience points! The gray wolves granted significantly more XP than bison. A quick mental calculation told Jack he¡¯d need to kill around twenty-five wolves to level up. Not bad! Plus, each wolf dropped two copper coins¡ªa veritable fortune. "Two coins¡­" Picking up the measly total of four coins, Jack did some more math. At this rate, he¡¯d need to slay five million wolves to earn ten thousand gold coins. Tears welled up in his eyes¡ªnot from sadness, but from sheer exhaustion at the thought. Paying back debts? Forget it. Hunting demon gods? Yeah, right. Dream on. By his calculations, he¡¯d end up owing thirty thousand gold coins and a hundred thousand reputation points while being stuck at Level 50¡­ Jack shook his head, utterly unfazed. "This punishment is laughably weak. Barely worth mentioning." In his mind, this was all fallout from the villagers¡¯ hostility toward adventurers. He didn¡¯t see anything wrong with what he¡¯d done¡ªin fact, he considered himself ahead of the game. First, the contract with Soldier Kaylo stipulated that breaking it would result in a village-wide manhunt. This meant the penalty was *being hunted*, not having ten thousand gold forcibly deducted from his inventory. Second, while the old man¡¯s threat sounded scary, the Forbidden Spell Scroll had been handed over willingly and unconditionally after the quest conditions were set. There was no clause requiring its return if Jack broke the contract. Trading fifty levels and a hundred thousand reputation for a Forbidden Spell Scroll? Was he losing out? "If I go negative levels, I¡¯ll still use that scroll to solo Gold-Class or even Dark-Gold-Class bosses," Jack muttered confidently. "Let¡¯s see who comes out ahead." Still, the old man would definitely try to get the scroll back. Jack¡¯s top priority now was figuring out how to keep it safe. But there was no rush. For now, he pushed those thoughts aside and focused on grinding. The Demonized Wolf King (Page 2/2) Having mastered the art of dealing with gray wolves, Jack began prowling the outskirts of the valley, carefully seeking out lone wolves and luring them away to isolated areas where reinforcements couldn¡¯t reach them. Time ticked by slowly. "Awooo!" The mournful howls of gray wolves echoed through the valley every so often. Too bad for them, Jack remained utterly ruthless, grinning wickedly as he taunted his prey: "Go ahead, scream your lungs out. Even if you shout until your throat bleeds, no one¡¯s coming to save you." (For the record, under normal circumstances, he wasn¡¯t usually this sadistic.) "Whoosh!" Two hours later, after taking down over twenty wolves, golden light enveloped Jack as he leveled up to Level 9. One more level, and he¡¯d officially leave the starter village behind. Unfortunately, thanks to the contract binding him, escaping the village anytime soon was about as likely as finding a unicorn riding a rainbow. Sit around twiddling his thumbs? Not Jack¡¯s style. "Huh?" Suddenly, his sharp eyes caught sight of something extraordinary: a massive black wolf shrouded in eerie mist, towering over the other wolves like LeBron James at a middle school basketball game. Its mere presence commanded submission from the pack, and its size rivaled Jack¡¯s chest height. No doubt about it¡ªthis was the Gray Wolf Boss!Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. First things first: clear the minions. Jack stayed calm. Even though the boss looked tempting, charging in blindly would be suicide. Instead, he picked up a few rocks and cautiously approached, using tried-and-true tactics to lure smaller wolves away one by one and dispatch them cleanly. After several rounds of careful maneuvering, only one pesky wolf remained near the boss¡ªtoo close to separate without aggroing the big guy. "Good enough!" Taking a deep breath, Jack steadied himself and crept closer, casting Scouting Skill on the boss¡ª [Demonized Wolf King] (Bronze-Class Boss) Level: 12 Health: 25,000 Attack: 35-40 Defense: 25 Skills: [Bloodlust], [Wolf King Intimidation], [Rending Claw] Description: Once an ordinary gray wolf, it was transformed into a monstrous demon-beast by a fleeing necromancer¡¯s forbidden magic. Now serving as the necromancer¡¯s guard dog, it wards off intruders with brutal efficiency. ... Jack frowned. "That¡¯s a lot of HP. Grinding this thing down will take forever." Then again, it was a boss. No surprises there. After weighing his options, he grabbed a rock and hurled it¡ªnot at the Demonized Wolf King, but at the lone wolf beside it. Leaving minions alive during a boss fight was a rookie mistake, and Jack had played enough games to know better. -103! The moment the rock hit, both the wolf and the Demonized Wolf King turned their murderous gazes on Jack, launching themselves at him like rockets. "Shhht!" Jack kept his eyes glued to the Demonized Wolf King¡¯s movements. Just as it reached him, he sidestepped¡ªbut to his shock, the beast abruptly changed direction mid-air, swiping down with its pitch-black claws. "!!" Jack¡¯s expression shifted. There was no time to dodge. The claw grazed his chest, leaving searing pain in its wake. -219! His health bar plummeted by a quarter. Gritting his teeth, Jack thrust his Bison Sword into the belly of the trailing wolf, following up with a Basic Combo that sent the creature yelping backward. +50! +50! Without hesitation, he popped a healing pill into his mouth. His health surged back up faster than a Tesla accelerating from zero to sixty. "Damn, these pills are potent!" "Awooo!" The Demonized Wolf King roared, pressing its advantage and charging at Jack again. Faced with the relentless onslaught of the boss¡ªand remembering the remaining wolf¡ªJack furrowed his brow. Then, realization dawned on him. Turning to look at the lone wolf, he muttered, "I¡¯ve been thinking about this all wrong!" (End of Chapter) The Necromancer (Page 1/2) Without hesitation, Jack charged toward the gray wolf. Its fangs snapped shut around his outstretched arm like a bear trap, draining nearly a tenth of his health. -78! The wolf was about to release its grip and retreat momentarily¡ªbut Jack wasn¡¯t giving it that luxury. With lightning reflexes, he grabbed the wolf by the neck, spun his body sharply, and used the struggling beast as a makeshift shield against the Demonized Wolf King¡¯s incoming attack. MISS! A bold "Dodge" notification popped above Jack''s head. By forcing the gray wolf into position, he successfully blocked the Demonized Wolf King¡¯s lethal strike, narrowly avoiding what would¡¯ve been a catastrophic blow. It worked! Jack¡¯s eyes gleamed with satisfaction. The fact that the Demonized Wolf King had aborted its attack proved his tactic was viable. "Awooo!" The gray wolf thrashed wildly in his grip, gnashing at his arm in a desperate attempt to break free. But Jack ignored its struggles completely. One hand clutching the squirming wolf, the other wielding his trusty Bison Sword, he boldly advanced toward the enraged boss. Thankfully, this was a game. In real life, lifting a full-grown gray wolf with one arm would¡¯ve been about as likely as bench-pressing a small car. -105! This time, Jack took the initiative. He lunged forward, driving his sword deep into the Demonized Wolf King¡¯s abdomen. Blood spurted out like a geyser, marking the first successful hit on the beast. Instantly, the Demonized Wolf King¡¯s crimson eyes burned with fury. Its claws lashed out¡ªbut stopped mid-swing. It couldn¡¯t risk harming its own kind, even if said ¡°kind¡± was currently being used as a human (or rather, player) meat shield.This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. What a sneaky adventurer! Seizing the opportunity, Jack unleashed another Basic Combo, landing two swift slashes before retreating behind his furry hostage once more. When the boss prepared to retaliate, Jack simply shoved the gray wolf back into its path, forcing it to abort yet another attack. This deadly dance repeated itself over and over again. Throughout the battle, Jack remained laser-focused, carefully retreating while maintaining control of the situation. Finally, he maneuvered the Demonized Wolf King near a massive boulder¡ªa perfect obstacle for kiting. Now, with cover on his side, he could focus on dealing damage without worrying about dodging every single swipe. 80%! 60%! With no need to dodge, Jack¡¯s attack speed soared faster than a Tesla in Ludicrous Mode. The Demonized Wolf King¡¯s HP bar plummeted visibly, dropping below half before its entire body erupted in a sinister red glow. Clearly, it was pissed¡ªlike someone who¡¯d just discovered their Netflix subscription got jacked up to $20 a month. Suddenly, Jack felt an oppressive weight settle over him, as though the air itself had turned to molasses. His movements slowed noticeably, making him feel like he was wading through quicksand. So much for smooth sailing! Ding! System Notification: The Demonized Wolf King has activated [Bloodlust], increasing its attack power by 15% and attack speed by 20% for 30 seconds! Ding!

Two skills¡ªone buffing itself, the other nerfing Jack. Talk about a double whammy. Just to be safe, Jack popped another healing pill, tightening his grip on the increasingly battered gray wolf. Then, with a fierce swing of his Bison Sword, he carved another chunk out of the Demonized Wolf King¡¯s health pool. "Awooo!" The Demonized Wolf King let out a bone-chilling roar, its icy white claws flashing like twin scythes. In one brutal motion, it shredded the gray wolf in Jack¡¯s arms into bloody ribbons. -1487! A monstrous critical hit instantly vaporized the poor wolf. Ding! System Notification: The Demonized Wolf King has activated [Rending Claw], dealing 250% damage to the gray wolf but rendering itself immobile for 5 seconds! "!!" Cannibalism at its finest! Jack sucked in a sharp breath but didn¡¯t waste a second of the precious window the dead wolf had bought him. Instead of retreating, he surged forward, unleashing another Basic Combo followed by relentless strikes. -76! -81! -102! Though the Demonized Wolf King¡¯s buffs made it terrifyingly strong, they thankfully didn¡¯t boost its defense. Breaking through its armor was still child¡¯s play for Jack¡¯s absurd attack stats. Once the five-second stun ended, the Demonized Wolf King locked onto Jack with murderous intent, launching an attack so fast it might as well have been fired from a railgun. The Necromancer (Page 2/2) -310! One strike drained over a third of Jack¡¯s health! "Holy cow, it hits harder than a linebacker on steroids!" Jack scrambled backward, putting some distance between himself and the boss. Using the nearby boulder as cover, he danced around the Demonized Wolf King like a matador teasing a bull. Every time the beast lunged, Jack sidestepped, using the rock to block its ferocious attacks. Turns out, dragging the boss to an obstacle hadn¡¯t been a wasted effort after all. From the start, Jack knew relying solely on his ¡°hostage trick¡± wouldn¡¯t guarantee victory. After navigating the cutthroat politics of the starter village, he¡¯d grown accustomed to the game¡¯s cruel sense of humor. "Awooo!" The frustrated Demonized Wolf King roared louder, but its raw power wasn¡¯t enough to smash through solid stone. Thanks to Jack¡¯s slippery movements¡ªmore evasive than a politician dodging tough questions¡ªthe debuffs eventually wore off. While dodging and healing, Jack waited patiently for his health to climb back above 80%. Once ready, he struck again, combining his Bison Sword¡¯s devastating blows with rapid-fire Basic Combos to maximize damage output. 40%! 20%! ... Despite the dwindling HP bar, Jack stayed ice-cold. As soon as his healing potion cooldown ended, he chugged another dose, ensuring he stayed topped off until the very end. Finally, with a final, pitiful howl, the Demonized Wolf King collapsed into a heap of pixels.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. Ding!

"Man, I¡¯m too good for this village," Jack smirked, imagining the countless noobs still stuck with Attack 2-2 and Defense 1-1. "Anyone else even close to my level? Anyone?" "Anyone?!" Suddenly, a raspy, high-pitched voice cut through the air, interrupting Jack¡¯s self-congratulatory monologue. "Who dares slay my meticulously crafted puppet?" ... (End of Chapter) The Only Hidden Profession (Page 1/2) Jack looked towards the source of the sound. In the deep part of the secluded valley, a man in a dark red robe was holding a long, bone-white and slender staff. His face showed some anger as he walked out quickly. Another boss, and it''s a humanoid one? Without hesitation, while Jack was observing the other party, he threw a detection skill - [Undead Mage ¡¤???] Except for the title prefix in front of the name, everything else, including the name, was all question marks. It was clearly beyond the detection range of the detection skill! This game is really not following the usual routine! Jack couldn''t help secretly complaining. Regarding the appearance of the Undead Mage, he couldn''t say it was particularly unexpected. After all, in the introduction of the Demonized Wolf King, there was information revealed about it being transformed by the Undead Mage. But he really didn''t expect to meet so soon. However, even though a powerful boss suddenly appeared, he wasn''t particularly worried about his own safety. He still had a trump card! The man was bony and skinny. His pale face without any trace of blood had a bit of gloom. With an unfriendly gaze, he stared at Jack: "I didn''t expect adventurers to reach this valley so soon. It''s a miscalculation." In his opinion, the adventurers who arrived on the Tianheng Continent should take at least two more days to reach this valley. That would be enough time for him to recover from his injuries and leave quietly. Not to mention you, I also didn''t expect my predicament to be solved so soon! Jack sighed: "Can I ask you a question?" "..." The Undead Mage felt something was not right. This ant-like adventurer met him but wasn''t panicked at all. It was truly hard to believe: "You''re on the verge of death. What last words do you have?"Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. "What rank of a strong person are you?" Jack followed his words and gave his "last words", "Let me die clearly." Seriously, an average player encountering such a hidden boss would basically die for sure. But! He wasn''t an average player. Instead, he was a "super strong person" who needed to hunt down the ten gods of the Tianheng Continent within a week! "Come to think of it, you adventurers have the favor of the Goddess of Life and can be reborn infinitely, not fearing temporary death. That''s normal." The Undead Mage touched his chin. After a little thought, he figured out the "reason" why the other party was so confident. Jack looked at the Undead Mage in surprise: "You know I can be resurrected?" He was a little confused about the game''s worldview. The NPC could actually understand that players have a resurrection mechanism. This was a bit too amazing, wasn''t it?! "Sure enough." Cautiously observing the other party''s expression changes all the time, the cautious Undead Mage relaxed and sneered, "It doesn''t matter to tell you. I''m a dark gold-level strong person of the Tianheng Continent, only one step away from the spirit level!" "Whoa!" Jack cooperated very well by taking a deep breath in shock and said: "There''s actually a dark gold-level strong person in this small newbie village. So terrifying!" "That''s natural!" Praised by the ant in his eyes, the Undead Mage was somewhat carried away: "Kid, don''t think that praising me will make me show mercy and let you go." "Before I die, I have one last request. I hope you, as a dark gold-level strong person, can fulfill it for me." Jack looked ashen, completely giving up resistance. "What request? Let me hear it." The Undead Mage had a somewhat smug smile on his face. Anyway, he was idle. He didn''t mind chatting a few more words with this adventurer who was already scared out of his wits. Jack asked: "Can you let me see your information panel?" To be honest, a dark gold-level boss was a bit too strong. He was really afraid that the other party''s health points would exceed 5 million. Once he couldn''t kill it in one shot, he would completely waste an forbidden curse scroll. "See my information panel?" The Undead Mage had a strange expression on his face. Why was the adventurer''s request so strange? "This is my lifelong request." Jack tried hard to suppress the nervousness and excitement in his heart. There was no way. The other party''s health points determined his future fortune! He had a premonition that this was the moment to change his fate and even determine his life! "...Humph!" The Undead Mage snorted, raised his staff, and the red gemstone embedded at the top emitted a fatal glow: "Ant, you talk too much. Just die!" He wasn''t stupid. The other party''s request was simply absurd. How could he actually fulfill it? (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading) The Only Hidden Profession (Page 2/2) Alas, the reason was indeed a bit too far-fetched... Sighing secretly, Jack quickly backed away a certain distance, took out the forbidden curse scroll from his bag, and threatened: "Stop, or don''t blame me for being ruthless!" "!!" Seeing what Jack was holding tightly in his hand, the Undead Mage''s pupils shrank suddenly. His heart seemed to be squeezed hard, and a sense of crisis emerged. He couldn''t help exclaiming: "Forbidden curse scroll?!" "Don''t die. Let me see your information panel." Jack got straight to the point. "You..." The Undead Mage gritted his teeth and exposed him mercilessly: "Don''t think I don''t know what you''re thinking. Most of the forbidden curses sealed in the scroll cause fixed damage. You''re afraid that my health points exceed the damage caused by the forbidden curse and dare not tear it apart." "..." Damn designer! Hearing this, Jack couldn''t help secretly praising the designer for setting the intelligence of the NPC too high. After a little thought in his mind, he changed the way: "Hand over all the treasures on you!" "Do you want to take advantage of the situation and rob me?" The Undead Mage directly swore. Jack said coldly: "Hand them over, or I''ll tear the forbidden curse scroll. You''ll surely die!" Since the game NPC had a high enough intelligence, in his opinion, he should be able to force the other party to hand over various equipment and items by threatening. Of course, if he could know that the other party''s health points limit didn''t exceed 5 million, he would immediately use the forbidden curse without hesitation. But the problem was that neither of them knew, which led to the stalemate.This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. "Ha ha ha..." The Undead Mage laughed angrily, "No one has ever dared to threaten me, Daniel, like this. Come on, tear it. Just tear it. It''s just a one-time forbidden curse scroll. I''d like to see if I can withstand it!" Playing this trick with me? If you really want to break out, why waste words and just use skills to fight me to the death? Jack sneered in his heart, raised the forbidden curse scroll high: "Then I''m really going to tear it?" "You tear it." Daniel pretended to be calm and said meaningfully: "As long as I withstand the damage of the scroll, not only will you lose the scroll, but you''ll also be killed by me. You''ll lose both your life and your fortune!" "As long as you can''t withstand the damage of the scroll, all your possessions will be mine. Die!" Jack exerted force in his hand, making a gesture of tearing the scroll. "Wait!" Daniel''s expression changed drastically and he quickly raised his right hand to make a gesture of stopping. "Hmm?" Jack winked and taunted: "What are you afraid of? It''s just a one-time scroll. Didn''t you want to see if you could withstand it?" "..." What the hell. How did such a weak adventurer get a forbidden curse scroll? Taking a deep breath, Daniel endured his anger and humiliation, gritted his teeth and said: "What do you want?" "Give me enough equipment and items, and I''ll leave naturally and won''t disturb you anymore." Jack said calmly, "Just consider it as losing money to avoid disaster. How about it?" "No." Daniel shook his head and rejected: "I can''t give equipment or items to adventurers for free." "Why?" "Because of the rules of this world." "..." The rules of the world? He could actually mention the rules? Jack was stunned. He was a little confused whether this guy in front of him was an official role-playing real person or an NPC with extremely high intelligence. "Then what do you suggest?" Jack frowned. "Well..." Daniel thought for a moment, looked at Jack''s current level and status, hesitated and said: "How about this? I''ll make an exception and accept you as my disciple and teach you the swordsmanship of the dark camp. What do you think?" "Ding! ~" System prompt: [Undead Mage ¡¤ Daniel] invites you to join the dark camp. Do you agree? (Note: Once you choose to agree, your reputation in the light camp will decrease by 100,000, and at the same time, the reputation system of the dark camp will be activated) "Ding! ~" System prompt: [Undead Mage ¡¤ Daniel] wants to accept you as a disciple. Do you agree? (Note: If you agree, you can obtain a special hidden profession, but at the same time, it is regarded as a complete betrayal of the light camp) The Dark Swordsman (Page 1/2) Oh my god! Holy crap! Jack didn''t think his educational level was particularly low. But these two sudden system bells were really too sudden! Choosing the dark faction was already quite strange. An obsidian-level BOSS could offer a hidden class. It was just insane, completely insane! He took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement. Looking at the Undead Mage Daniel, he calmly said, "Don''t think I don''t know your plan. Once I choose the dark faction, there will be no way back. And as my mentor, you will be completely tied to me. As soon as we get out of this current crisis, you can deliberately make things difficult for me in various ways." The temptation of the hidden class was great, but he couldn''t lose his reason because of it. Besides, how powerful of a hidden class could an obsidian-level Undead Mage give him? "Don''t worry. If you become my disciple, I will surely train you with all my strength." The Undead Mage raised three fingers and solemnly said, "I swear to the God of Oath!" "Ding! ~" System prompt: [Undead Mage ¡¤ Daniel] swore to train you to be an excellent disciple with all his strength. If he breaks the oath, he will be eradicated by the God of Oath! The God of Oath? This game is quite something! After Jack glanced at the system prompt, he continued to ask, "What if my strength surpasses yours and you can''t make me stronger anymore? What then?" The Undead Mage was at the obsidian level. It was indeed powerful in the early stage of the game. But as long as the player''s level went up, it would be a weak chicken that could be easily killed. Choosing such a mentor would easily get him into trouble.The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. "... " Daniel was stunned for a moment and marveled, "Kid, it seems that you are not only cautious but also very ambitious. You can rest assured on this point. In the dark faction, the strong are respected. If your strength is strong enough, I will recommend you to stronger existences in the dark faction. Even..." "Even?" "If you are confident enough, in the future, you have the chance to become a disciple of the Ten Demon Gods." Daniel threw out a huge temptation. Jack: "..." A disciple of the Ten Demon Gods! He had to admit that Daniel''s words really made him moved. Becoming the other''s disciple would make him a villain. But at the same time, he also avoided various risks after a week. Besides, he had no good feelings for the NPCs of the Light Faction. Even if he betrayed them, he wouldn''t feel a bit of guilt. "Yes!" Jack looked at the two system prompts and chose to agree. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You have successfully joined the Dark Faction. The reputation system of the Dark Faction has been activated. The reputation of the Light Faction has permanently become -100,000! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully transferred to the only hidden class [Dark Swordsman]. Your basic growth and appearance have changed! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on your transfer to the Dark Swordsman. Your potential has been stimulated. The learned skill [Basic Swordsmanship] has advanced to [Dark Swordsmanship], and [Basic Combo] has advanced to [Wild Slash]! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on your transfer. As the first player to complete the transfer in the game, you receive additional rewards: +10 free attribute points, +1000 fame, and rare equipment [Ring of the Undead]!" ... A series of system prompts came one after another. "Gurgle... " Gradually, Jack''s whole body''s blood boiled as if he was in a furnace. Then, the color of his skin slowly turned into a strange purple-black, his nails turned black, and his eyes shone with a demonic and scarlet glow. At the same time, surging power flowed into his limbs and his strength increased continuously. This feeling was very strange and indescribable. A few minutes later, the heat flow receded. Jack opened the character panel and looked at his appearance, stunned. Is this still me? It doesn''t look like a good person at all! "Kid, you made the right choice." Daniel let out a sigh of relief and smiled, "The group of hypocrites in the Light Faction have ugly faces. How can it be as easy and free as the Dark Faction." Jack nodded deeply in agreement and eased the relationship with the other party along the way: "Mentor, you''re right. But my appearance is a bit strange. Can it change back?" It''s too non-mainstream! This appearance doesn''t conform to modern aesthetics, and he doesn''t want to have purple-black skin forever. The Dark Swordsman (Page 2/2) "The reason you became like this is because the evil aura inside you leaked out." Daniel smiled, "As long as your strength is sufficient, you can control this evil aura to beÄÚÁ² and thus restore your original appearance." "Really?" Jack had a dark line on his face. The evil aura inside leaked out? Oh boy, so I''m this evil? Daniel smiled: "How could the mentor lie to you? However... With your current strength, you really can''t be easily seen in your true form. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable." Saying that, he raised the staff in his hand and muttered something that seemed to be very obscure spells. After a moment, a black light emerged from the gem above the staff and rushed towards Jack. Seeing this, Jack didn''t dodge and endured this black light head-on. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You have received the Concealment Spell cast by your mentor, the Undead Mage ¡¤ Daniel. You have restored your human form. The duration is three days. Soon, Jack''s appearance returned to normal. "Well, Yijianghanshui... Hmm, what a strange name." Daniel couldn''t help criticizing Jack''s game name and then said seriously, "As your mentor, I must have you undergo the transfer test. Go and prove your loyalty to the Dark Faction." "Ding! ~" System prompt: You have been forced to accept the quest [Towards the Darkness] (Difficulty: A)! Forced to accept the quest?Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Jack quickly reached the quest panel and checked the details - [Towards the Darkness] (Difficulty: A) Introduction: As a traitor of the Light Faction, how could the Dark Faction have no doubts? You must prove that you have completely abandoned the light and joined the dark to smoothly change your position. Requirements: Kill 1000 adventurers or natives of the Light Faction. Rewards: Recognition of the Dark Faction. "Kill 1000 adventurers?" Jack was stunned. "Isn''t this difficulty too high?" He suspected that this guy was tricking him. "No." Daniel shook his head: "You just transferred in advance. But you still need to complete the quests required for the transfer. And the class you obtained is different from the ordinary classes. The quest difficulty is naturally greater. Dark Swordsman... Kid, I have to admit that your talent is very high." "What do you mean?" Jack was confused. This hidden class was given by you. What does it have to do with me? "There are not only me as an Undead Mage in the world." Daniel explained, "Most of the disciples of the Undead Mage will transfer to Undead Knight or Undead Swordsman. But the class you obtained, Dark Swordsman, is a one-in-ten-thousand existence. It is much stronger than the Undead Swordsman and has unlimited prospects!" "Hope so." Jack nodded. Come to think of it, the system prompted that what he got was the only hidden class. It had a personal touch and should be more powerful than the ordinary hidden classes. Was it his good luck? Or was it because he was a player and therefore different? "Well, Yijianghanshui, go and prove that your heart is towards the darkness." Daniel waved his hand, "I''m seriously injured and need at least three days to recover. By then, I hope you have completed the quest. So I can take you out of this novice village." Jack nodded: "I''ll do my best." In fact, the most troublesome thing now is not killing a thousand players. But there are only a few players who have left the novice village... Wait! Suddenly, Jack thought of something and chased after Daniel, who was about to enter the valley to heal, and asked: "What will happen if I die?" Resurrection point! This was the biggest problem at present. He had joined the Dark Faction. Wouldn''t he be resurrected in the novice village? "What will happen if you die?" Daniel turned back and cackled strangely: "You have joined the Dark Faction. How can you ask for the protection of the Goddess of Life?" Hearing this, Jack''s heart skipped a beat and felt bad: "You mean I can''t be resurrected?" "Of course!" Daniel affirmed: "Don''t worry. Although you have lost the protection of the Goddess of Life, at the same time, you can also receive the protection of the Ancient Demon Gods." "Oh?" Jack''s spirit was lifted and he immediately asked: "The protection of the Ancient Demon Gods. What is that?" ... Greatly Enhanced Strength (Page 1/2) "After you complete the job transfer task, you''ll know." Daniel waved his hand and turned away, not telling the details. "Go, apprentice. As a Dark Swordsman, you have extraordinary talent and great potential. Your future achievements will definitely be higher than mine." "Master, take care." Watching Daniel return to the valley to heal his wounds, Jack opened the character panel with excitement and checked the character growth panel - [Dark Swordsman] Introduction: The most powerful mysterious creature among the undead. There are countless records in history about Dark Swordsmen causing disasters in the human world. It is said that they have extremely evil and malicious power within them. They are cold, violent, powerful, bloodthirsty, and have unparalleled potential. Life: ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï Attack: ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï Defense: ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï Speed: ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï (Note: The growth star rating means the improvement in all aspects that can be obtained when the level is raised. Each star represents the corresponding value increased per level. Each 1 point of attack causes 10 points of damage) Cold, violent, powerful, bloodthirsty, and extremely handsome... You describe it so embarrassingly that I feel shy! Jack grinned, glanced over the panel, and found the growth star rating information of ordinary occupations below the panel. For example, the growth star rating of warriors is three stars for life, three stars for attack, three stars for defense, and three stars for speed, which is relatively balanced. While thieves have two stars for life and two stars for defense, but in exchange, they have five-star attack growth and four-star speed. Other occupations such as mages and archers are the same. Generally, when there is a prominent growth star rating, there will be relatively weak areas. But his Dark Swordsman completely surpasses the measurement standard of ordinary occupations.This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. "This growth star rating is simply outrageous!" Jack was overjoyed. Five stars is the highest growth star rating for ordinary occupations, but his life, defense, and speed are all five stars. Even the attack hasÆÆÌì»Ä reached six stars, surpassing the growth category of ordinary occupations! Perhaps the gap doesn''t seem very large at present, but this is the so-called "first job transfer", the initial job transfer after leaving the novice village. In the future, there will definitely be another increase in the growth star rating of the occupation! Then, Jack added all 20 free attribute points from the job transfer rewards to attack. While moving towards the novice village, he checked the rich rewards he obtained this time. First, there is a silver ring engraved with a skull that was rewarded by the system. In terms of appearance, it has a bit of an evil flavor. [Undead Ring] (Silver Grade) Attack: 15 - 15 Effect: +5% Attack Required Level: 10 Introduction: A ring carefully crafted by an undead mage. Precious ores were added to it and it was enchanted, containing extraordinary power. Silver grade! This is the first time Jack has obtained a silver-grade equipment, and it is a rather rare ring among equipment! However, after weighing the pros and cons, Jack directly equipped the Undead Ring and did not use the Tianyou Bead to upgrade the equipment grade. One is that although ring equipment is rare, the attribute improvement is definitely not as great as that of weapons. In the early stage of the game where the level is very important, it is a bit uneconomical. The second is that the required level for the silver-grade ring is level 10. If it is upgraded to gold and the level requirement increases and it cannot be equipped, it would be counterproductive at present. Therefore, there is no need to be too anxious at the moment. Then, he checked the skill list and found that the Basic Swordsmanship and Basic Combo disappeared. Instead, two seemingly very powerful new skills appeared. [Dark Swordsmanship] (Passive) (Grade B) Introduction: The exclusive skill of Dark Swordsmen, with considerable growth potential. Now it''s just showing its initial edge. Effect: +50 Attack Additional Effect: +20% Attack Speed Restriction: 100% effective when equipped with sword-type weapons. Only 50% effect can be obtained with other weapons. [Wild Slash] (Grade B) Introduction: An advanced move derived by Dark Swordsmen from the Basic Combo. The power increase is significant. Effect: Causes four damages to a single enemy in a short period of time. The power increases with the number of combos, causing 80%, 90%, 100%, and 120% of the basic self-attack respectively. Cooldown Time: 30 seconds The two transformed skills provide a considerable boost! "Huh?" Suddenly, Jack looked from afar and saw more than ten players in the bison territory teaming up to attack bison combos. He couldn''t help but walk over with the Bison Sword without making a sound. (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading.) Greatly Enhanced Strength (Page 2/2) When someone approached, two players who were constantly observing the surroundings immediately came forward and blocked his way, looking unfriendly. "Buddy, sorry. This place is occupied by our Qunying League. If you want to level up, go elsewhere." One of the players, named World in Chaos, had a gloomy tone and was very intimidating. Qunying League? It''s really like having a pillow when you''re sleepy! Hearing this, Jack was immediately happy. As an experienced gamer, he certainly knew what kind of people the Qunying League was. Although the guild name has the word "elite" in it, they are notorious in the game for stealing monsters and occupying territories everywhere. He never expected that in "Eternity", he would have the fortune to be in the same novice village as many "heroes" of the Qunying League. But it''s also normal. After all, it''s a large guild and it''s normal to have a wide distribution. "Why?!" As the saying goes, act the whole play. Jack immediately looked indignant and angrily said, "This game has just started. It''s not easy for solo players to level up. How can you occupy the place? What should we solo players do?" "I don''t care about you. This place is occupied by our Qunying League. Are you deaf?" Another player shouted harshly. "We solo players can''t just watch them do whatever they want. If no one is willing to stand up and resist, then I''ll be the first one!" However, Jack ignored him and said to himself, "Brothers, if you think I''m right, remember to like, follow, comment and support..."Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. "???" Jack''s strange words confused them. Like? I''ll like your mom! "I believe you also heard what they said. Their actions should be severely punished. I, Jack Shui, must represent solo players and fight against them to the end." Jack, who secretly turned on the recording function, spoke passionately. This was the idea he came up with when he heard that they were from the Qunying League. It''s already very difficult to kill 1,000 adventurers. At this stage, there are very few players who can leave the novice village. He must find a way to attract hatred and change his position. In this way, he not only completed the task but also changed from the offender to the victim without ruining his reputation. It''s a win-win situation. "Not good!" World in Chaos was the first to react: "This guy is recording. Get him!" Saying that, he resolutely raised the shabby short knife in his hand and slashed at Jack fiercely. -1! The astonishing damage popped up, directly stunning the two of them. Can''t break the defense?! Jack turned off the recording function in time, raised the Bison Sword, and swept it gently. The damage that popped up almost made World in Chaos'' eyes pop out - -1487! "Swish!" The next second, a white light flashed and World in Chaos'' vision changed. He appeared in the novice village, standing there stunned. What the hell? Four-digit damage?! A player in the novice village can actually deal four-digit damage, and this is without a critical hit! "One-shot... One-shot kill?!" Looking at World in Chaos'' corpse, the other player exclaimed: "Brother World in Chaos was one-shot killed!" The play was over. Jack didn''t waste any more words. With the sword raised and lowered, he sent him to find Brother World in Chaos. Just kidding. Now that he has transferred to the only hidden occupation, all his stats have changed beyond recognition. One-shot killing is a perfectly normal thing - [Jack Shui] Level: 10 Life: 5250 Attack: 163 - 165 Defense: 69 - 72 Reputation: 1000 Luck: 0 ... Because he joined the Dark Faction, all the reputation of the Light Faction was cleared, so the reputation was much less. But apart from that, other attributes can be described as skyrocketing. At this time, two system notifications rang in Jack''s ears - "Ding! ~" System Prompt: You killed the adventurer [World in Chaos] and gained 35 experience points! "Ding! ~" System Prompt: You killed the adventurer [Dragon Knight Yin Zhiping] and gained 27 experience points! Using Players to Level Up (Page 1/2) This... Jack stared at the system panel in astonishment. After a short moment of shock, he was ecstatic: "After joining the dark camp, killing players can gain experience!" He could guarantee that ordinary players definitely didn''t have such a good thing like him! If players could gain experience by killing each other, the entire game would probably be in chaos. The newbie villages would directly be filled with bloodshed. Even worse, some might spend money to buy kills for leveling up, thus losing the fun of the game. After a little thought in his mind, he could come to the only conclusion - Because of the different camps, killing players for him was the same as killing monsters! "Brother Luanshi was killed!" More than a dozen players who were teaming up to level up in the distance witnessed this scene. Without a word, they rushed over, surrounded Jack, and all charged at once. Unfortunately, the gap in strength between the two sides was huge. -1577! -1385! -1444! ... A group of players with only four or five hundred health points couldn''t possibly withstand damage of over a thousand. Jack killed one player with one sword stroke and all of them were instantly killed, turning them into white lights and returning to the resurrection point in the newbie village. "You, you, you..." Watching his brothers being easily taken away, the last living player of the Qunying League pointed at Jack, unable to speak. How could there be such a fierce player in the newbie village? "What about me?" Jack swept his sword sideways and took him away: "Isn''t it just that I''m a little handsome?" "..."If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. However, the other party could no longer reply. Apparently, it was a default. After successfully completing the kills, Jack gained more than two hundred experience, and the task changed to 17/1000. After thinking for a while, he posted the video of Qunying League''s Luanshi Tianxia''s ranting online and gave it a provocative title - "Little Qunying, Ridiculous, Ridiculous"! The video was quickly discovered, with various forwards, likes, and replies coming every few seconds, very quickly. First floor: Damn, isn''t YiJack Shui the expert who got the first kill of the bronze-level boss? The Qunying League has kicked an iron plate! Second floor: Boss is awesome! Third floor: Interesting. This is the first time I''ve seen someone dare to provoke our Qunying League like this. Believe it or not, we''ll kill you so that you can''t leave the newbie village?! ... "That''s you!" Seeing the reply from the third floor, Jack''s eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he pinned his comment to the top and replied: "Humph, a bunch of ants!" Closing the forum, Jack let out a light breath: "You guys mustn''t let me go easily." Actually, he didn''t want to make such a big deal out of it. But the problem was that the task requirements were very difficult. He couldn''t teleport to other newbie villages either. If he really wanted to kill a thousand adventurers, he didn''t know when it would be done. After thinking about it, he felt that he had to use some extreme methods. Moreover, the Qunying League wasn''t a kind bunch. He didn''t need to hold back when dealing with them. As for the native residents, he didn''t even dare to think about it. Since the village chief could take out a forbidden curse, it proved that he was no ordinary person. Besides, there weren''t many native residents in a village. There was really no need to take the risk. Then, he chose to log out. There was no way. People need to eat. Skipping a meal makes one hungry. ... Meanwhile, in another newbie village, a player named Tu Lu Ren Jian was listening to the report from his little brother. "Interesting..." Closing the video uploaded by Jack, Tu Lu Ren Jian sneered: "You really think you''re something. How dare you provoke our Qunying League like this." He knew clearly the reason for the other party''s actions. To put it simply, this person just wanted to use the Qunying League to establish an image of justice, gain popularity, and then establish a guild and recruit a large number of players. Otherwise, there was no explanation for why a player who was already at level ten would take advantage of the situation and make a big deal out of it. "Big brother, what should we do?" "Luanshi Tianxia said he could deal four-digit damage. His equipment should be very good. Plus, he''s already changed profession. The gap in strength with ordinary players must be huge." Tu Lu Ren Jian thought for a moment and said calmly, "Gather all the Qunying League players in that newbie village. At the same time, call on other players to join our guild. Then issue a wanted notice. Anyone who kills YiJack Shui once can get a 50,000 bonus. There''s no limit to the number of times." "This..." The little brother beside him was stunned: "Leader, isn''t this a bit of an overreaction?" "This is not a small matter. It came at a very opportune time." Tu Lu Ren Jian narrowed his eyes. "The game ''Eternal'' has great business opportunities. We must ensure sufficient popularity to have a chance to become one of the top guilds in the Eastern District. Just do as I say." (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading) Using Players to Level Up (Page 2/2) Even a bad name is a name! The game is not reality after all. In his opinion, the virtual world allows many players to release the darkness hidden in their hearts. So the more cruel and vicious, the more attractive it is to a considerable number of players. The provocation from this YiJack Shui came at just the right time. As long as the Qunying League could kill the so-called expert who got the first kill of the boss and prevent him from leaving the newbie village, they would surely gain a notorious reputation. "Leader, then... How many people do we need to gather approximately?" The little brother asked in a low voice, "Five hundred?" "No, two thousand!" Tu Lu Ren Jian''s mouth curved into a cold arc: "Don''t be afraid to spend money. The more grand the better!" ... After quickly solving dinner with a pack of instant noodles, Jack couldn''t wait to put on the game helmet. After entering the game and opening the official website, the first thing that came into view was the bright red wanted notice. After a rough browse, he let out a breath: "It seems that the high-level members of the Qunying League can really see my purpose." Gain fame! This was the only reason the other party could think of. After all, who would have thought that a player who hadn''t even left the newbie village needed to kill a thousand players as a condition for completing the task. Without backing down, he calmly stayed in the Bison Territory. He wasn''t afraid of the large number of the other party. Besides, a bunch of damage that couldn''t break his defense was of little significance to him. Moreover, the space around him was so limited. How many attacks could he receive at once when surrounded? You should know that in the early stage before changing profession, there were no archer and mage classes, and there would be no long-range damage.A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation. Even if there were one or two players with long-range skills occasionally, it wouldn''t matter much. "Found him. He''s here!" In just ten minutes or so, a large number of players rushed over in a mighty force. After finding Jack''s trace, they called their friends. Jack looked around. There were at least five hundred people in his sight, standing densely in a group, looking fierce. Holding the Bison Sword, he walked over slowly and decided to be polite first: "Are all of you here to cause trouble for me?" "..." Those players first looked at each other, and then directly charged forward with their weapons. Some of them were members of the Qunying League, and some were for the 50,000 cash reward. Each had their own purpose. They couldn''t be reasonable in words and there was nothing to talk about. Although it was the first time facing so many players attacking at the same time in the game, Jack remained calm, raised his sword to meet the enemy, and with a casual sweep, the sharp sword blade tore open the chest of the players in front, bringing out a spray of blood. -1784! -1147! -1475! ... Countless damage numbers popped up, all instant kills. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You killed the adventurer [Liuyue Liuhuo] and gained 11 experience points! "Ding! ~" System prompt: You killed the adventurer [Entering the Widow''s Village at Night] and gained 20 experience points! ... "Damn, he''s really a monster. No wonder the Qunying League offered such a high reward!" Some players were scared and turned pale. The feeling of sacrificing oneself is not good! Although players could be resurrected and weren''t afraid of death, no one in the game liked to lose levels, especially in the early stage. The level was too crucial. You should know that some of them were only at level two. It was a hassle to deal with slimes. If they died, it was almost like starting over at level one. "All the brothers who died today can join our Qunying League. There''s a death subsidy. Don''t be afraid, everyone. There are still thousands of brothers coming behind. We have a large number of people. We can wear him down even if we grind!" A member of the Qunying League shouted loudly, "YiJack Shui''s level is so high and he''s killed so many people. His sin value is very high. Once he dies, his equipment will definitely drop a lot!" There was a concept of sin value in the "Eternal" game. Unprovoked killing would turn the name red, increasing the level penalty upon death and the equipment drop rate. This was designed to balance the situation where high-level players deliberately waited to massacre low-level players. Want to drop my equipment? Hearing this, Jack secretly laughed in his heart. Do you think killing you guys will increase my sin value? Sorry, I don''t know if the sin value has increased. But the experience bar is really almost full! "Ha ha ha, everyone, don''t rush. Come one by one!" Jack laughed loudly. Actually, he didn''t want to laugh. It''s just... Couldn''t hold it back! ... Towards the Darkness (Page 1/2) In the eyes of other players, Jack was killing excitedly and laughing unconsciously. Their hearts couldn''t help but feel a chill. Damn, he''s such a lunatic! "Chichi..." The sword light was cold and stern. Jack showed no mercy when attacking, causing one corpse after another to fall in the pool of blood. White lights rose and fell one after another. The scene was extremely cruel. -1! -2! MISS! ... Of course, the players'' attacks weren''t completely useless. Although Jack could avoid some of the attacks, damage numbers kept popping up on him constantly. 80%... 60%... Jack''s health bar was also dropping. Although it was slow, it gave the players hope. "Only half of the health left!" Some player excitedly said, "No matter how powerful he is, he can''t withstand the siege of hundreds or thousands of people. Brothers, burst..." His words stopped abruptly at the tip of his tongue. "Swish!" Suddenly, brilliant golden light scattered. Jack felt a warm current surging inside his body, and his condition returned to an unprecedented peak. Level up, level 11! At the same time, his health was fully restored. "Damn!"Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings. "What the hell am I playing!" "Level... level up?" Some player was stunned. "Are you kidding me? Killing players can level you up to this bullshit level!" ... For a moment, words of praise were abundant. "Be smart and get out of here quickly!" In order to hide this somewhat outrageous situation in a short time, Jack explained while killing, "Do you really think that when I killed the BOSS for the first time, the system didn''t give me any rewards? After saying that, he didn''t add anything unnecessary. One sentence was enough. The rest was for them to figure out by themselves. "Oh, I see!" Many players suddenly understood and knew the reason for his sudden level up. Apparently, this was the reward given by the system to Yijianghanshui for killing the bronze-level BOSS for the first time. The reward should be a rare item like unconditional level-up or a bead that can store experience. The level-up just now should be due to the use of that item. "Don''t be afraid. We still have thousands of people. It''s more than enough to kill him. He asked us to leave. Maybe it''s a sign of him lacking confidence!" Although some players were skeptical, it wasn''t the time to stop now. They could only attack with all their might. Overall, being killed would get rewards from the League of Heroes. It definitely wouldn''t be a loss. After a short commotion, the battle continued. During the fierce battle, Jack quickly glanced at the quest requirements and found that it had changed to 537/1000. The completion rate was already more than half! Five minutes... ten minutes... Time passed slowly. It wasn''t until the pleasant bell rang in his ears that he regained his senses from the almost one-sided massacre - "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on completing the quest [Towards the Darkness] and obtaining the recognition of the Dark Faction! It''s done! Jack felt relieved. But he didn''t choose to leave. Instead, he continued to treat the nearby players as wild monsters to kill. This opportunity was rare. How could he easily let go of such a good chance. "Finally, only 40% left!" Always paying attention to Yijianghanshui''s health, the leader of the League of Heroes, Luanshi Tianxia, gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, put in more effort. Victory is right in front of us." Honestly, he was about to throw up. A large part of the players died and then ran back to join the battlefield. Altogether, nearly two thousand players were besieging one player. But now, after killing more than a thousand players, the opponent was still lively. What the hell. How could this person be harder to kill than a BOSS?! 30%! 20%! Jack''s health was still dropping! There was no way. The higher the level, the more experience was needed. And the players'' levels were really too low. "He''s almost dead. Finally, he''s almost dead!" Some player who died once and ran back was so excited that his face turned red. He rubbed his hands, already ready to snatch the equipment. (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading) Towards the Darkness (Page 2/2) There was no doubt that with such high attributes of the opponent, no matter which piece of equipment was snatched, it would be a big profit! Want me to die? Jack grinned, swept the Wild Buffalo Sword, and took away two players in front of him continuously. The experience bar was finally filled. "Swish!" Golden light scattered. In the desperate expressions of them, Jack''s health was fully restored again. "... " For a moment, the noisy shouts around stopped. Like a deathly silence shrouded this area. Why? Why did this guy level up again? When could players level up by killing other players? Just when they were feeling puzzled, angry, and aggrieved, Jack, who liked to explain the reasons, spoke again and said something that made them collapse directly - "Do you really think that when I killed the BOSS for the first time, the system gave me only that little reward?" "I..." Luanshi Tianxia, who was in charge of the overall situation, had bulging veins on his forehead. His face was as black as if it was smeared with soy sauce, extremely ugly. He wanted to curse but didn''t even have the strength to do so. You killed a bronze-level BOSS for the first time. Could the reward be so generous? "Brother Luanshi, what should we do now?" A younger brother asked with a sad face.Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. "... Retreat!" This word was almost forced out from between Luanshi Tianxia''s teeth. It was meaningless to continue. The higher the opponent''s level, the greater the probability of immune to damage. Coupled with the completely incomprehensible level-ups, it would only increase their own losses. "But..." "Can''t you understand my words?" Luanshi Tianxia roared, "Retreat for me!" "Yes." ... Soon, the news reached the ears of all the players who besieged Jack. They immediately fled in panic and scattered like birds and beasts. Seeing this, Jack didn''t chase and kill them. Instead, he picked up a few more valuable pieces of equipment that dropped beside him. It wasn''t that he didn''t want to pick up more. Mainly, the backpack slots were limited. He couldn''t just stuff everything into the backpack. But he didn''t feel sorry either. Most of the players who came to die were at level one or two. They completely avoided the slimes and came to cause trouble for him. They didn''t drop anything at all. After all, novice equipment wouldn''t be dropped. The quest was completed. Gaining two levels in a row was enough. The experience given by killing these low-level players was pitifully little. Killing one or two more wouldn''t make much difference. "I really didn''t expect things to go so smoothly." Letting out a breath, looking at the constantly refreshing and disappearing corpses on the ground, the restlessness in Jack''s heart gradually calmed down. He had no psychological burden in dealing with the likes of the League of Heroes. Then, he opened the information panel and checked. He found that his crime value was still 0. He was sure that killing people from different factions wouldn''t increase the crime value at all. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Your mentor is in a desperate situation and is highly likely to die. Please support as soon as possible. If your mentor dies, you will be punished with -50,000 reputation in the Dark Faction! The sudden system prompt that rang in Jack''s ears made his relaxed mental state tense up again. "Damn it. Just after transferring me to the Dark Faction, you are going to die?" Jack was almost moved to tears. At present, he hasn''t even left the novice village. If the mentor dies, how can I leave the novice village? Walk out on foot? There was no time to think too much. He turned around and hurriedly ran towards the direction where the gray wolves refreshed. In just a few minutes, he arrived outside the valley. "Boom boom boom..." The roaring sound resounded. The source of the sound was inside the valley. At the same time, colorful elemental energy was abundant. Stones and air waves rushed out of the valley. It seemed to indicate how dangerous the situation inside was. Taking a deep breath, Jack covered his face with his arm, resisted the impact of the stones and air waves, and directly plunged into the valley, exploring towards the depth: "Brother, don''t die." ... Chapter 16: Complete Betrayal (Page 1/2) Inside the valley, it was a scene of devastation. There were numerous deep pits emitting black smoke on the ground. In the relatively flat area, two people stood facing each other, filled with killing intent towards each other. "Undead Mage Daniel, surrender now." An old man with white hair had a cold smile on the corner of his mouth. Undead Mage! This is a type of existence with a very high bounty in the Light Faction. As long as one is killed, the gold coins obtained would be enough for him to live a worry-free life. Even with this reward, there would be a chance to enter the Light Church for further studies. In order to track down his whereabouts, he searched everywhere. It was not easy for him to find out that the other party was hiding in this insignificant novice village. Therefore, he did not hesitate to humble himself to be the small village chief of the novice village and explore everywhere. Unfortunately, the other party was very well-hidden. After spending several months, he still couldn''t find any clues and was almost on the verge of giving up. Fortunately, just a few hours ago, he felt a powerful presence near the Grey Wolf territory. After coming to investigate, he finally found the other party''s whereabouts. "Old man with one foot in the coffin. Who will win and who will lose is not certain. Don''t think I''m afraid of you just because you are one rank higher than me!" Daniel''s already pale face was now even paler and extremely weak. Even the harsh words he said were weak. "Shasha..." A sudden sound of footsteps came. "Huh?" The two turned their heads simultaneously and saw a young man walking from the direction outside the valley. When he came closer, they saw the young man''s appearance clearly.Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. "It''s you?" The village chief, who still had an impression of Jack, was slightly stunned. He never expected this daring adventurer to appear here. Jack glanced at the two of them and immediately understood what was going on. His gaze finally fixed on the old man, smiled and waved, and asked knowingly, "Old man, why are you here?" While speaking, he threw a detection skill - [Flame Mage ¡¤???] Very good. Just like Daniel, except for the title, everything else was naturally a question mark, and even the name could not be known. "...Humph!" The old man snorted and said, "Leave here, otherwise I... Wait!" Suddenly, he noticed something. A glint flashed in his eyes as he stared at Jack in disbelief, "Such an evil presence. Compared to you, the Undead Mage is as sacred as if he has received the Light''s baptism!" In order to accurately describe the other party''s darkness and strangeness, he couldn''t help but use rather disrespectful words. Jack: "..." I''m a law-abiding good youth. Am I really that evil? Suppressing the urge to complain, Jack quickly walked to Daniel''s side and whispered, "Can we win?" "If you didn''t come, I might still have a glimmer of hope of winning. Now that you''re here, we''re definitely going to lose." Daniel reached out and patted Jack''s shoulder, very pleased. Although this disciple was accepted not long ago, the fact that the other party was willing to come and help was quite valuable. "You, him... So what should we do now?" Jack almost wanted to curse. "I can secretly cast a spell to activate a teleportation array to send us away." Daniel whispered, "The prerequisite is that you need to block this guy for at least twenty seconds. Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted." Twenty seconds! Hearing this, Jack nodded. To Daniel''s surprise, he asked, "Is there any other way?" "There should be none." Daniel couldn''t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. If you''re not willing, why did you nod? "What are you two whispering about?" Despite being shocked by the vaguely exposed evil presence of the other party, as a Spirit-level Mage, how could he tolerate the two openly plotting in front of him. Kill the Undead Mage first. Take this brat to the Light Church. I will surely receive the bestowment from the Church''s messenger! Thinking of the bright future ahead, his eyes shone with an unconcealable greed. He raised the milky-white staff in his hand and prepared to attack. "Your mentor is really immoral. He actually wants the disciple to take out the most precious treasures to help him escape." Jack shook his head and helplessly took two steps forward, "Give it to me!" The old man: "..." Daniel: "..." The two were stunned simultaneously. Give it to you? What does that mean? (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading.) Complete Betrayal (Page 2/2) "Quest!" Seeing his confused look, Jack could only be more straightforward: "Without a quest and no generous quest rewards, how can I help you?" If he took out the precious forbidden curse scroll and was not given other rewards as compensation, wouldn''t he suffer a huge loss? "You..." Daniel was speechless: "You brat have the nerve to say I''m immoral?" "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Undead Mage ¡¤ Daniel hopes you can accept the quest [Block the Flame Mage] (Difficulty: A)! [Block the Flame Mage] Introduction: Daniel needs twenty seconds to prepare a one-time teleportation array. He needs your help to block Flame Mage ¡¤ Brandy. Afterward, he promises to give generous rewards. Quest Reward:??? ... After receiving the quest, Jack felt relieved. He didn''t believe that Daniel could ignore the system restrictions and give him some junk to´ò·¢ him. Seeing Brandy about to attack, he decisively took out the forbidden curse scroll and shouted: "Don''t move, or I won''t be polite!" Brandy, who was about to make a move, paused. Looking at the thing in Jack''s hand, his eyes widened and he roared: "Boy, do you know who gave the thing in your hand?" That thing, he was too familiar with it! "It was given by the grandpa in the novice village who had high hopes for me, specifically to hunt down demons like you." Jack was not panicked at all and replied calmly. While speaking, he glanced at Daniel behind him with his peripheral vision and found that he was murmuring incantations. Presumably, he was already in the stage of secretly casting spells.A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. "You... You..." Pointing at Jack, Brandy''s fingers trembled and his face distorted. He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode: "Do you think a forbidden curse scroll can deal with me?" Regret! There was only the word regret in his heart now. He never thought that the forbidden curse scroll given first to punish the other party would be used as a trump card by the other party and become a threat to himself. "Probably not." Jack shook his head and did not refute. "But you will definitely suffer some serious injuries. Facing Daniel then, you may not be able to retreat unscathed." "A mere Dark Gold-level Undead Mage, and he''s seriously injured. Even if I endure..." Brandy wanted to make him understand his situation, but halfway through his words, he seemed to notice something. Looking at Daniel who remained silent, his face changed greatly, "Want to run? Dream on!" "Swish!" Realizing that the other party was stalling for time, he stopped talking nonsense and immediately raised his staff. A rapidly spinning flame tornado appeared in front of him, making the valley bright red. "Go!" The flame tornado, carrying searing heat waves, roared out. The surrounding air seemed to freeze. The terrifying high temperature melted the rocks on the ground in the blink of an eye and carried astonishing destructive power. "Sizzle..." When the flames kept enlarging in Jack''s pupils, he did not hesitate to tear open the forbidden curse scroll. Although it was a pity, this was not the time to hesitate. Moreover, Daniel had brought him the only hidden occupation. This benefit was far beyond a one-time forbidden curse scroll. "Roar--" In the next moment, a deafening dragon roar resounded through the valley. A huge dragon formed by flames condensed and blocked the oncoming tornado. With a roar, it lunged out unstoppably and directly devoured Brandy''s attack. "!!" Looking at the approaching ferocious dragon head, Brandy''s eyes widened in rage and he shouted frantically: "Little brat, I will never let you go!" "Teleportation array, open!!" At the same time, Daniel plunged the staff vertically and forcefully into the ground. In the next second, brilliant white light emerged on the ground, forming a slowly rotating mysterious array. With him and Jack, they disappeared inside the valley and no one knew where they went. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Please note, the Eastern Region adventurer [Jack Shui] has betrayed the Light Faction and joined the evil Dark Faction, causing the anger of the high-level of the Light Faction. The killer can be rewarded with rare items and obtain the only hidden occupation. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Please note, the Eastern Region adventurer [Jack Shui] has betrayed the Light Faction and joined the evil Dark Faction, causing the anger of the high-level of the Light Faction. The killer can be rewarded with rare items and obtain the only hidden occupation. ... Evil Trample (Page 1/2) "Swish!" White light flashed, and Jack and Daniel appeared on a vast plain. The surrounding area was filled with green grass and the warm breeze was gentle. The arrival of the two broke the peaceful environment. The two evil auras scared the animals into running everywhere. Daniel heaved a sigh of relief, panting: "Saved... saved." "Ding! ~" System prompt: You have entered the map [Cangfeng Plain]! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please note that the adventurer [YiJack Shui] from the Eastern District has betrayed the Light Camp and joined the evil Dark Camp, causing the anger of the high-level of the Light Camp. The killer can be rewarded with rare items and obtain the only hidden profession. Just when Jack was observing the surroundings, a system prompt sounded in his ear, and it was broadcasted three times in a row. The importance could be imagined. "Whoa!" Jack took a deep breath: "Rare items, the only hidden profession. This game is really something..." The rewards are too generous! Both the rare items and the only hidden profession are benefits that are enough to make players pursue them crazily! He really didn''t expect that his joining the Dark Camp could cause such a huge stir. "Ding~" System prompt: Because you left the newbie village and violated the contract made with Kairo, you will be hunted down by Kairo and all the native residents of the newbie village!This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Because you helped the Undead Mage ¡¤ Daniel against the Flame Mage ¡¤ Brandy, the [Hunt the God of Evil] task is considered a failure. You receive the punishment: -100,000 reputation in the Light Camp, -50 levels, and -10,000 gold coins in your bag! Before Jack could digest this explosive information, two more task failure prompts had already sounded in his ears. -10,000 gold coins? Jack was startled and quickly opened his bag, finding that all the silver and copper coins were cleared. "Fortunately, it''s just cleared." Jack let out a breath. If it really resulted in a negative number of gold coins, it would be really scary. Then, he opened the character panel and found that the level had become level 1, directly back to the beginning. As for the reputation in the Light Camp, it became -200,000. "Teacher, I sacrificed a lot to save you." Jack remained calm and reminded Daniel that he had successfully completed the task. Although the outcome seemed a bit tragic, he knew that the current situation must be better than he imagined. Because the punishment period was over, but the reward part hadn''t arrived yet. Daniel looked solemn: "Don''t worry. You chose to save me and I won''t treat you unfairly. Not to mention you are my disciple." "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on completing the task [Stop the Flame Mage], and receive the rewards: +100,000 experience, rare skill [Evil Trample] (S-level)! "Swish swish swish..." Suddenly, a series of golden lights flew wildly. The huge amount of experience that was enough for newbies filled the level bar again and again! With the rapid increase in levels, Jack immediately felt a surging power in his body, constantly surging inside. Not only did his strength recover as before, but it was even stronger. He rushed to level 14 and was only about 20% away from level 15. Rare skill? After experiencing the thrill of the rapid increase in levels, Jack turned his attention to the item rewarded by the task. [Evil Trample] (S-level) Introduction: Only creatures with evil power in their bodies can learn this method. Once used, it will be a double blow to the enemy''s dignity and body. Therefore, it has an extremely famous name in the Tianheng Continent. Effect: Infuse power into your feet. Within two seconds after casting, movement speed +200%, attack speed +100%, jump height greatly increases, attacks will definitely cause critical hits and form a suppression effect, but this attack loses the weapon bonus. Cooldown time: One minute Restriction: Only for warrior classes in the Dark Camp "..." Looking at the skill description, Jack''s mouth twitched, feeling a bit helpless and amused. (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading) Evil Trample (Page 2/2) Significantly increasing movement speed and attack speed, and it''s an attack method that infuses power into the feet. Isn''t this clearly saying that this skill is for forcefully stomping on people? Stomping on the body is already cruel enough. What if you accidentally stomp on the face... Poisonous! So poisonous! It''s worthy of being called Evil Trample. It''s really extremely evil! Although he hasn''t tried the power of the skill yet, he decides that when facing other players, unless there''s a deep hatred, it''s better not to use it randomly. "This skill was already lost. I obtained it by chance in the tomb of a strong person." Daniel explained, "Unfortunately, I''m a mage and my physical strength is insufficient. I can''t learn it, so I kept it on me. Now it just happens to benefit you. I believe with this move, you will benefit a lot in the Dark Camp." "Benefit a lot?" Jack didn''t quite understand what he meant. Daniel patiently said: "I said, Evil Trample has been lost. Many strong people in the Dark Camp should be very hopeful that you can teach them the skill." "Okay." Jack nodded and then asked: "Teacher, are there any other rewards?" "Why, isn''t it enough?" Daniel''s face darkened, "Don''t be too greedy. Do you think exchanging a one-time forbidden curse scroll for a lost S-level rare skill is a loss." "It''s not a loss. I just hope to grow quickly." "To grow, you need to be sharpened. Equipment is ultimately external things." Daniel shook his head, changed the topic and said, "Let''s go. Although the Cangfeng Plain doesn''t belong to the Light Camp, it''s also not under the jurisdiction of the Dark Camp. You haven''t learned to hide your aura yet. The concealment technique I applied is rough and may not be able to cover it. Maybe it will bring danger."This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. Saying that, he moved towards the north. Seeing this, Jack followed decisively. After joining the Dark Camp, he lost the protection of the Goddess of Life and couldn''t be resurrected. It meant that dying once would ruin his account. The risk was huge. Different from other players, he had to be careful in everything to avoid capsizing in the gutter. Right! Suddenly, he thought of something and asked Daniel who was leading the way: "Teacher, what did you mean by the protection of the Ten Gods of Evil?" The protection of the Ten Gods of Evil! This was the benefit Daniel told him when he lost his resurrection ability. Obviously, by joining the Dark Camp, while losing some of the privileges of adventurers, he would also receive additional compensation. "Follow me to a safe enough area first." Daniel played a trick and didn''t tell, "I''m very weak now and can''t let you get the protection of the Gods of Evil." Hearing this, Jack stopped talking and followed silently. For a full hour, the two of them hid and evaded, avoiding many places where Daniel thought there might be strong people passing by. Finally, they left the Cangfeng Plain and arrived at a desolate Gobi. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You have entered the map [Barren Land]! "My injuries are almost healed. I need to rest for two days first." Daniel supported himself with a huge rock, sat cross-legged in the shade, and took out several bottles of red liquid medicine, "Here are these medicines for you. The monsters here are not strong. It''s just right for you to sharpen yourself. Go." "OK, thank you, teacher." Jack took the medicines. [Healing Potion] Introduction: Precious medicine with a price that ordinary people simply can''t afford Effect: Within 10 seconds after taking it, restore 500 health points per second Cooldown time: 30 seconds It''s worthy of being the medicine used by a dark gold-level boss. The effect is ten times stronger than the health recovery medicine in the newbie village! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Do you accept the task [Sharpen Yourself] (Difficulty: C)! "Yes!" Jack chose to accept. [Sharpen Yourself] (Difficulty: C) Introduction: Sharpening is the fundamental way to become strong yourself Task requirement: Kill five hundred demonic lizards and then report back to Daniel Task reward:??? ... The Demonized Lizards After getting the quest, Jack didn''t immediately set out to deal with the demonized lizards. Instead, he chose to log off and rest. In fact, first killing thousands of players and then using the forbidden spell to fight against Brandy. Even if it was in the game and not in reality, his mental state was quite exhausted. Taking off the game helmet, Jack let out a heavy breath. Shaking his slightly dizzy head, he washed his face, brushed his teeth, and then fell asleep as soon as he lay down. ... In Mingzhu City. In a brightly lit hall somewhere. A young man in a suit sat on the sofa, looking at the subordinate who didn''t dare to breathe loudly with his head down, and said calmly, "This decision was my mistake. I really didn''t expect that Yijianghanshui was so powerful that thousands of people couldn''t take him down." "Brother Tu, it was my fault in commanding." Luanshi Tianxia was full of shame. Tulu Renjian waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with you. They were originally a group of casual players. How could they all listen to your command? Just go and do your work with peace of mind." "Then Brother Tu, you rest early." Luanshi Tianxia carefully raised his head and glanced at the young man. Seeing his calm expression, he couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief and turned to leave. After Luanshi Tianxia left, Tulu Renjian''s mouth turned down, his fists clenched, and his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from it: "Yijianghanshui, we have formed a grudge. As long as you still play ''Eternal'', we will definitely settle this account sooner or later!" ... In the early morning. Jack woke up slowly, got up to wash his face and brush his teeth. He left the rental house and went to a nearby breakfast shop to buy two meat buns and a cup of soy milk. After simply solving the breakfast, he quickly logged in. Now, he was way ahead of ordinary players. He must take this opportunity to widen the gap even more. "Swish!" White light flashed and Jack reappeared in the Barren Land. Holding the Wild Buffalo Sword, he wandered around. A few minutes later, he found a spawn point of demonized lizards. Looking around, there were a total of six lizards over one meter long swimming under the scorching sun in the Gobi Desert. They had short limbs and long thick tails. They seemed very difficult to deal with. Just to be cautious, Jack slowly approached and threw a Detection Skill - [Demonized Lizard] (Common Monster) Level: 18 Health: 20,000 Attack: 120 - 125 Defense: 90 - 100 Skill: [Bite] Introduction: Originally a group of ordinary lizards in the Gobi Desert. After being invaded by demonic qi, their physiques changed drastically. Moreover, they have a violent temperament and are very dangerous ... With these attributes, except for the health which was slightly inferior, the attack and defense were three times higher than the level 12 Demonized Wolf King. It was much stronger! Regarding this, Jack wasn''t particularly surprised. During the novice village, players hadn''t transferred their classes yet. The growth stars were all one. But after the transfer, all attributes skyrocketed. They were completely different. It was normal for the monster''s stats to increase along with it. The demonized lizards were in groups of three or two in one area, which was very easy to be attacked together. But Jack wasn''t panicked at all. Confirming that the monster''s attributes didn''t exceed his imagination, he charged forward with quick steps.Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators! Evil Trample! The next moment, his movement speed skyrocketed, and the strength of his legs reached an unprecedented height. He almost instantly reached the side of the demonized lizard and stomped hard on the lizard''s head, stepping it firmly on the ground, causing a bright critical damage to pop up. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You used [Evil Trample] and dealt 1,869 damage to the demonized lizard, causing a suppression effect. The opponent is unable to move for two seconds! Suddenly, the health of the demonized lizard visibly decreased by a section. Not to mention how disgusting the Evil Trample was. Just the ability to quickly approach and exert control could be said to be an extremely powerful god-like skill! There was no doubt that this skill was a nightmare for fragile classes! Taking advantage of the two-second control, Jack swung the Wild Buffalo Sword and used Wild Slash. The four consecutive strikes erupted within one second, and the damage was extremely terrifying. -804! -870! -943! -1,074! "Quack!" Being attacked by surprise, the demonized lizard made a sharp sound and seemed quite angry. The moment it broke free from Jack''s control, it opened its mouth and bit Jack''s leg guard. -402! The damage wasn''t low. Unfortunately, its opponent was not the same as before. After obtaining the only hidden class with all growth attributes full stars and even excessive attack, even with a four-level difference and without updated equipment, all being low-level whiteboards, the attributes still crushed the level 18 monster - [Yijianghanshui] Level: 14 Health: 7,350 Attack: 187 - 190 Defense: 89 - 92 Fame: 1,000 Luck: 0 ... More than four hundred damage was insignificant for the health of over seven thousand. "Quack! Quack! Quack!..." The five demonized lizards beside saw their companion being attacked. Making shrill noises from their mouths, they all entered the battle state and rushed towards Jack. Seeing this, Jack fought while retreating, trying his best not to be surrounded by the lizards. From time to time, he avoided the bites of the demonized lizards by quickly lifting his feet. His attacks were clean and neat. Usually, he could take down one lizard in about twenty seconds. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on killing the demonized lizard and obtaining 500 experience points! The four-level difference made the monster''s experience quite considerable. Basically, for every two killed, his experience bar would increase by 1%. That is to say, adding the experience given by the quest reward, killing ten more, he would be able to level up. A few minutes later, he successfully dealt with the six demonized lizards, picked up the 120 copper coins they dropped, and continued forward to look for the next spawn point. "Didi!" Suddenly, the system sent a message reminder. Jack opened the chat panel and found that it was Longteng Wanli who spent 20,000 to buy novice equipment in the novice village - "Brother, do you sell your kill?" Sell my kill? Jack was speechless and roughly understood his meaning. He replied, "No." After joining the Dark Faction, if he died once, his account would be ruined. Otherwise, probably before Longteng Wanli even opened his mouth, he would have already become rich by selling his kills and reached the peak of his life. Longteng Wanli: "I can offer five million!" "No." Jack categorically refused. "The punishment is very severe. It''s not just a level drop." Five million was a lot! But precisely because it was a lot, he refused. Since the Light Faction was willing to use rare items and the only hidden class as the wanted reward, he believed that the benefits he obtained by joining the Dark Faction were also not low. In other words, fortune comes with risks. What the other party offered was indeed a lot. But... Whether it was greed or ambition, he wanted more, not a one-time five million! If he didn''t have the exaggerated growth stars of the Dark Swordsman, he might really consider selling his kill. But now, he knew exactly how valuable the hidden class he obtained was. Besides, selling his kill wasn''t in a hurry. How could he decide before seeing the protection of the Ancient Demon Gods? Longteng Wanli: "Okay. Mainly, your wanted reward is very generous. If the wanted isn''t completed, I guess everyone in the whole server wants to kill you. Once you die, you won''t get any benefits." "Don''t worry about this. The value of my wanted is so high for a reason." Jack couldn''t help but laugh. How could he not see that he was implicitly exerting pressure on him. Longteng Wanli: "Okay then. Have a good game." Apparently, knowing that Jack''s thoughts were firm, he didn''t insist. "Wait, I still have a few pieces of equipment. Do you want them?" Saying that, Jack sent screenshots of all the equipment in his backpack that he couldn''t use to him. In less than thirty seconds, Longteng Wanli gave the price: "It''s a total of 30,000. Do you sell?" "Okay!" Jack agreed. The equipment he sent, the best one was the Wolf Fang Dagger. The other equipment wasn''t worth mentioning. They were all for the early transition. As more and more players left the novice village through guides or being led in teams, their value would depreciate quickly. "Where are you? I''ll have someone pick it up." "You have the thief sneak to the Barren Land. I''ll tell you the location, but you need to transfer the money first." Although he wasn''t afraid that Longteng Wanli would bring people to cause trouble, he wasn''t stupid. He definitely wouldn''t conduct the transaction by meeting face to face. Instead, he would place it somewhere in advance and then tell the other party to pick it up. "Okay!" ... After ending the chat, Jack continued to look for the demonized lizards. Within two minutes, he found the spawn point again. Holding the Wild Buffalo Sword, he repeated the same trick. Starting with Evil Trample to approach and exert control, followed by Wild Slash. The damage dealt was quite considerable. Hunting the demonized lizards step by step until more than ten minutes later... "Swish!" Golden light scattered. Level 15! "Huh?" The moment he leveled up, Jack''s expression slightly changed. He felt a cold energy surging out of his chest, flowing throughout his body. Purple-black light overflowed from the surface of his skin, strange and evil. What''s the situation? Am I evolving? ... The Power of Death (Page 1/2) "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Congratulations on reaching level 15. The power of the Dark Swordsman has been stimulated and you have comprehended the skill: [The Power of Death]! About five minutes passed, the energy in Jack''s body gradually dissipated. Whether it was exhausted or hidden, it would wait to be triggered again when his strength was sufficient next time. Comprehend a skill by oneself? What an exaggerated hidden occupation. No wonder Daniel was so optimistic about it! Jack took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. He opened the skill panel to check and found that there was already a purple-black skill icon added to it, which looked very cool - [The Power of Death] (Passive) (Grade A) Introduction: Dark Swordsmen are a variant of Undead Swordsmen. They walk on the edge of life and death but have self-awareness. Their recovery ability is terrifying. Even the Holy Light is difficult to sanction. Skill Effect: When out of combat, health points recover by 0.5% per second. When in combat, the effect reduces to 0.1%. After reading the skill details, Jack was stunned for a good while before uttering two words: "Awesome!" What does recovering 0.5% per second mean? 30% of health points recovered in one minute! For Jack at present, it is already a very powerful recovery skill. But the truly fierce part of this skill has not yet been reflected now because its recovery is based on percentage! You know, Dark Swordsmen have extremely high growth stars in life and defense. This×¢¶¨ that in the future, the Power of Death will become an extremely disgusting skill. Can''t win? Run!This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. Less than four minutes, full health and fight again! Whether it''s for survival or for strategic retreat, the effect of the Power of Death is very likely to be a decisive factor. "Didi!" The ringtone sounded. Long Teng Wan Li sent a message: "Thirty thousand yuan has been transferred to you." "OK. I hid the equipment there. You can ask him to go and get it." Jack sent him a location coordinate and a terrain screenshot. It was a place he randomly found when passing by. Of course, dropping equipment doesn''t mean it will never be refreshed by the system. In fact, when he chose to hide the equipment, the system reminded that whiteboard-level equipment would become ownerless and would be refreshed after 24 hours, while bronze-level would be three days and silver-level would be up to a week. The more precious the equipment, the longer the time required for it to be refreshed. This is a quite reasonable setting. "OK!" Long Teng Wan Li didn''t chat idly: "Still the same sentence. If you have equipment, you can give priority to our Dragon Clan. The price is definitely fair!" "No problem!" Jack was happy to see this. In this way, he could save the effort of selling equipment. How could he not be willing? Closing the chat box, he continued to cause trouble for the Demonized Lizards. After comprehending the Power of Death, his demand for medicine was even smaller. After all, every time he looked for the refresh point, his health points would automatically recover to full. Time passed slowly. Jack leveled up silently. Until he killed the ninety-third Demonized Lizard, he finally dropped a pair of shoes. "This drop rate is really something!" Jack quickly picked it up and checked the equipment attributes - [Sand Boots] (Bronze Grade) Defense: 6 - 10 Effect: +2% Movement Speed Required Level: 16 Introduction: These shoes are essential for those walking in the desert area. They have strong friction and are not easy to be damaged. They are deeply loved by the ordinary people of Tianheng Continent. ... The equipment attributes are very good. Unfortunately, the current level is still one level short. Jack stuffed it into his bag and was ready to continue killing monsters. "Goo goo!" Unfortunately, his stomach growled disobediently. Jack looked at the time. It was already one o''clock in the afternoon. He couldn''t help but laugh at himself: "I''m really addicted to the game and can''t extricate myself..." He called out the system panel and chose to log out of the game. Log out! ... Taking off the game helmet, Jack got up to add water to the electric kettle. Then he tore open the instant noodles and threw them into the bowl. Added the seasoning packets. While waiting for the water to boil, he opened the official website forum to read the posts. [The Predicament of Jack Shui] [How to Join the Dark Faction] [The NPCs are so beautiful. Can I enter?] (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading.) The Power of Death (Page 2/2) ... "Eternity" is extremely popular. Not only is it holographic simulation with a physical sensation close to reality, but it also has a global server. It is a world-class game and the discussion degree is ridiculously high. Jack could see many hot posts about himself. Some players and even guilds called on everyone to form a team to specifically hunt and kill him. "In a short period of time, it''s really not realistic to level up by killing players." Jack filtered it in his mind a little and gave up the dangerous thought. Die once and the account is ruined! In this case, he must be extremely cautious. Once he is trapped in the player''s encirclement, the consequences can be imagined. "Since the Protection of the Demon God is a substitute for the Protection of the Goddess of Life, it should also be a very powerful player privilege." Jack touched his chin and looked forward to it. After simply solving lunch and drinking a cup of boiled water, Jack entered the game again, ready to chase and play with the Demonized Lizards. ... "Swish!" The white light flashed and he appeared in the original place. "Gah!" Suddenly, a Demonized Lizard King next to him, whose size was as tall as a person, roared. Its thick and long tail swept horizontally and heavily hit Jack, throwing him away and making him roll out several meters in a mess. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: You were hit by the sweep of [Demonized Lizard King] and lost 1010 health points!If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. Just logging in, Jack''s health points sharply reduced by one-seventh. "Young lizard has no martial ethics!" Jack, who was completely unprepared, was really startled. Looking at the Lizard King, which was larger in size and had a red epidermis than ordinary Demonized Lizards, he tightened the Bison Sword in his hand and resolutely became focused to fight. Know yourself and know your enemy and you will never be defeated. He habitually threw a detection skill - [Demonized Lizard King] (Bronze Grade BOSS) Level: 20 Life: 100,000 Attack: 180 - 180 Defense: 120 Skills: [Bite] [Sweep] [Surface Poison] Introduction: A mutant of the Demonized Lizard. It has more powerful strength. It is bloodthirsty and cruel. It is one of the lords of the Barren Land and a powerful enemy for adventurers. ... Can be killed! Making a judgment, Jack charged forward with quick steps. He was a Evil Trample, jumped high, and pushed the heel backward on the head of the Lizard King, controlling the opponent under his feet and close to the ground. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: You used [Evil Trample] and caused 1073 damage to the Demonized Lizard and caused a suppression effect. The opponent is unable to move for 0.35 seconds! Good guy, so short? Jack was startled. Before he could perform Wild Slash, he was shaken off by the Demonized Lizard King from its head. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: You were eroded by the [Surface Poison] of the Demonized Lizard King. You lose 50 health points per second for 10 seconds! Immediately, Jack''s face turned green, his veins bulged, and he looked terminally ill. "It seems that the medicine given by Daniel can''t be saved." Jack took out the medicine bottle with some heartache, took a mouthful, and green light began to appear on his body. +500! +500! ... With the effect of the medicine, Jack was confident that it was more than enough to deal with the Demonized Lizard King. Seeing that his health points were about to recover to full, he did not hesitate to charge forward. The Bison Sword slashed on the lizard''s head, leaving a blood mark. -575! After the normal attack, he decisively connected Wild Slash and the combo strikes were like a storm. "Gah!" The Demonized Lizard King would not wait to die. It immediately turned itself and swept horizontally in a large range with the length of its tail, throwing Jack away. Seeing this, Jack''s eyes shifted and saw a protruding rock block nearby. His heart moved and he immediately moved to the vicinity of the rock block. Using it as a cover, he pointed his finger at the Demonized Lizard King and shouted loudly: "Come here!" Jack is indeed Jack. He is talented and actually performed the One-Finger Zen and the Lion''s Roar Skill at the same time... ... Meeting a Friend (Page 1/2) "Gah!" Being taunted, the Demonic Lizard King became even angrier. It lifted its short limbs and charged over, fighting with Jack again. However, Jack was quick-eyed and quick-handed. When it opened its huge bloody mouth, he directly chose to dodge. Taking the rock as the center, he fought while circling, avoiding many attacks and buying time for the healing potion to take effect. Especially the sweeping attack. It had a large range, but near the shelter, it couldn''t be used at all. "Attacking by surprise will cost you." Jack was patient, slowly wearing down its health points. Although the Demonic Lizard King had a health of up to 100,000, his damage wasn''t low. Reducing it by hundreds each time, and sometimes using the Wild Slash, the attack efficiency was quite considerable. However, the Toxic Erosion was indeed a quite disgusting passive skill. As long as he attacked the opponent, it couldn''t be avoided. This made Jack have to use the healing potion again and again to restore his health. Fortunately, his health points weren''t low, and he didn''t waste the recovery amount of the healing potion. After struggling for a full eight minutes and consuming four bottles of healing potions, Jack finally managed to send the Demonic Lizard King away successfully. Many silver coins dropped, along with two pieces of equipment, a khaki-colored armor and a staff - [Huangyan Armor] (Bronze-level) Defense: 22 - 25 Effect: Defense + 8% Required level: 20The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. Introduction: A rather sturdy armor, suitable for hiding oneself and ambushing opponents in the desert area [Demonic Rock Staff] (Bronze-level) Attack: 25 - 30 Effect: Attack + 10% Effect: Spell Vamp + 5% Required level: 20 Introduction: A precious beginner staff. For novice mages, it can be regarded as a supreme treasure and is very attractive ... The attribute of the armor was good, but it required level 20 to equip. It was too early. As for the staff, the attack was quite high and it also had vamp. Unfortunately, it was meaningless to him. "Have equipment. Do you want it?" Jack sent the attribute screenshot of the Demonic Rock Staff to Longteng Wanli. After thinking for a while, he added the plain-level cowhide shoes. After killing the Demonic Lizard King, his level had reached 15 level 89%. Killing a few more small monsters would allow him to equip the Sandy Boots. The shoes on him had to be dealt with quickly while they still had some value. Longteng Wanli: "...Brother, the equipment''s required level is too high. No one in our guild can use it yet." Level 20! This was too outrageous! According to the news he got at present, the highest level adventurer in the Light Camp of the Eastern District was only level 13. YiJack Shui could already drop equipment of level 20. How many levels was he himself? "It will be used sooner or later. And the attribute of this staff is definitely top-notch. Make an offer." Jack said, "You know how low the drop rate of this game is." Longteng Wanli: "The shoes can give you 1,000. As for the Demonic Rock Staff... I can only offer 50,000. After all, it''s an early-stage equipment. No matter how top-notch it is, it''s just a transition and will soon be eliminated." He wasn''t a sucker. He could calculate the value of the equipment. In the early stage, the reason why he paid a high price for Jack''s Soldier''s Iron Sword and Soldier''s Leather Armor was mainly to gain a few more hours of leveling time. It wasn''t that those two pieces of equipment were really worth tens of thousands. "OK. Transfer the money first. As usual, send someone to the Barren Land to pick it up." Jack was in a great mood and felt like aÏÌÓã·­Éí. This was already the third time he had traded with Longteng Wanli. Including this amount, he had earned more than 100,000 in total! In just a few days, 100,000 in hand! But he believed that "Eternal" could bring him greater benefits in the future! ... Closing the chat box, Jack continued to search for the Demonic Lizard respawn points step by step. Daniel''s requirement was to kill 500 Demonic Lizards. The number was huge and he was still far from completing the task. (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading) Meeting a Friend (Page 2/2) About half an hour later... "Swish!" Golden light flew up and Jack reached level 16. He got 10% of the experience in half an hour. Wouldn''t it take five hours to level up once? Estimating the leveling speed, Jack pursed his lips and couldn''t help sighing that the leveling efficiency of "Eternal" was outrageously slow. You should know that he was only at level 16. No matter how you looked at it, it was still the early stage of the game. Was it reasonable to be able to level up only twice a day with 10 hours of hardcore online gaming in the early stage? Moreover, this was for him. Ordinary players didn''t have his high growth star level and the efficiency was even worse. If they formed a team, the experience would be shared. It was probably even more difficult to level up. However, although he complained, his hands couldn''t stop. He kept grinding until 6 p.m. Jack looked at the 86% experience bar and the task requirement of 301/500, and was satisfied to log out to have dinner. ... Taking off the game helmet, Jack was about to order takeout with his phone when he found that his friend named Wang Kai had sent him several messages, but he didn''t notice much during the game. "Brother, are you there?" "No reply. Could it be self-protection?" "It''s been three minutes. It should be over, right?"Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. ... Jack typed and sent: "Brother, what''s up?" Wang Kai was his best friend in college. Their relationship was always very strong. That''s why the other party dared to tease him casually. "Let''s have barbecue." Wang Kai replied immediately, "Don''t tell me you''ve eaten. I calculated with my fingers and knew you were playing the game." Playing the game? What kind of talk is this? Am I that idle? Jack immediately replied solemnly: "I''m not playing the game. I''m working." "Did you find a job?" Wang Kai sent a shocked expression. "Yeah." "What job?" "Obtaining sufficient economy by selling virtual products." "It sounds very advanced!" "Not bad." "Let''s talk when we meet. Let''s see each other at the old place!" "OK." ... In the night of Su City, the trees were decorated with colorful lights. Changing into casual clothes for going out, Jack left the rental house. After walking along the busy street for less than five minutes, he saw a man with an ordinary appearance waving at him at the barbecue stand at the crossroads. As soon as Jack walked over, Wang Kai smiled and punched him in the chest: "Brother, good for you. I was about to introduce a job to you. I didn''t expect you to find one yourself." "Introduce a job to me?" Jack was surprised, "What job?" "Professional gamer!" Wang Kai was straightforward: "With your skills, it would be a waste if you didn''t become a professional gamer. I''m now working for a studio that''s preparing to make a big splash in ''Eternal''. I can introduce you. We can be together." "I won''t." Jack shook his head. "Afraid I''ll cheat you?" Wang Kai quickly explained, "If I cheat you, I''m not your brother. The salary over there is quite high. The official salary after joining is 8,000 a month, with five social insurances and one housing fund, including food and accommodation. Although there''s an entry test, with your gaming skills, to be honest, that level of assessment is a piece of cake for you." "This..." "Don''t look at the average salary in some places which seems quite high. 8,000 may seem not much. But it''s the average, you know..." "Let me finish." Jack couldn''t help laughing and crying, "What I mean is... This time I want to do it alone." "Alone?" Wang Kai was stunned: "You are now not by selling virtual products... Damn!" Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized, slapped his thigh hard, and grimaced: "I was deceived by you, this scoundrel!" ... About Talent (Page 1/2) The barbecue stand was filled with smoke, the neon lights hanging on the nearby stores were flickering, and the continuous stream of pedestrians were chatting and laughing... Looking around, it was full of the hustle and bustle of life. The two were chatting while ordering. Then they sat at the open-air street corner and waited for the boss to serve the food. "Selling equipment is selling equipment. But also selling virtual items. I thought you were helping someone run an online store!" Wang Kai couldn''t help but complain. "It turned out that you have entered the game already?" Jack nodded and smiled: "The virtual reality presentation of ''Eternal'' is very strong. It''s called the Second World. The temptation is too great. How could I not be tempted?" "What''s your game name?" Wang Kai said, "When I go back, I''ll add you as a friend." "This..." Jack hesitated for a while and shook his head: "Let''s keep it a secret for now." His reputation was indeed quite loud now. There were too many people in the whole server who wanted to kill him. He didn''t distrust Wang Kai. But just in case, it was better not to reveal it for the time being. After all, there was no impenetrable wall in the world. The best way to keep a secret was to not even let the wind of it rise. "So mysterious." Wang Kai didn''t take it to heart. After a little consideration, he reminded, "Let me tell you, ''Eternal'' is different from other games. You must treat NPCs as real people. Otherwise, you won''t be able to move forward!" He knew how disgusting this game ''Eternal'' was. He thought that Jack was probably stuck in the novice village and couldn''t get out. And he was too embarrassed to say it. So it was understandable that he didn''t want to mention it for the time being. Although he had confidence in Jack''s operation, what was needed at the beginning of ''Eternal'' was not operation but catering to the preferences of NPCs.If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. This point, he only figured it out on the second day of the game''s launch. "Yeah." Jack deeply agreed. Ever since Daniel guessed that adventurers had the protection of the Goddess of Life and were not afraid of death. And said that he couldn''t give equipment to players unconditionally against the rules, he never regarded the natives as NPCs with formulaic communication. After that, the two ate kebabs while talking about the game. "Right!" At a certain moment, Wang Kai suddenly thought of something. Looking around and confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he lowered his voice and said: "Let me tell you a secret. It''s said that in ''Eternal'', when players reach a certain level of strength, they will enter a certain secret realm." Secret realm? Jack was slightly stunned and immediately asked: "What kind of secret realm?" "I don''t know exactly when the secret realm will open. It should be that when the level reaches a certain point, you will automatically enter." Wang Kai said mysteriously, "The secret realm seems to be related to the adventurers'' talents. It seems that the official of ''Eternal'' doesn''t like to give talents to characters simply by lottery and luck. Instead, they determine the strength of the talents through trials." "How do you know all this?" Jack was puzzled. Wang Kai''s family situation was quite good, but he was definitely not a very rich and powerful person. He shouldn''t be able to obtain information that others couldn''t through his own channels in advance. "I said, I joined a studio. That studio is very powerful and wants to do great things in the game." Wang Kai patted his stomach and stood up, "Okay, don''t ask more. Let''s stop chatting today. I still have to go back to work." "Okay." Saying goodbye to Wang Kai, Jack moved back and was ready to try to get the relevant information about talents from Daniel after completing the quest. Back to the rental house, he put on the game helmet. Log in! ... "Swish!" Entering the game, Jack opened his eyes. What appeared in his vision was still a barren land. Continue to kill monsters! There were still two hundred demonized lizards left. He planned to solve them all at once tonight. Holding the Wild Buffalo Sword, Jack looked everywhere for the spawn points. Fortunately, he had deliberately left coordinates for many places before. When he went there again, the demonized lizards had respawned. It saved a lot of time in searching. During the monster-killing process, Longteng Wanli transferred 50,000 to him. Jack told him the location where the equipment was hidden and the two completed the transaction. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on completing the quest [Temper Yourself]. You can go to the mentor, the Undead Mage ¡¤ Daniel, to obtain the quest reward! It wasn''t until 11 p.m. that Jack finally killed 500 demonized lizards. With an expectant mood, he returned to the position where Daniel was recuperating. "Huh?" Sensing someone approaching, Daniel stood up and was immediately stunned: "I didn''t expect you to complete the quest so quickly." (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading) About Talent (Page 2/2) He seemed to have recuperated quite well. The weak state no longer existed. Although his face was still pale, his spirit was not listless. Still fast? I''m almost sick of killing! Jack couldn''t help but grumble in his heart. Solemnly, he said: "Mentor, please give me the reward." "... " Seemingly stunned by the apprentice''s straightforward way of asking for the reward, Daniel''s mouth twitched: "Don''t worry. I won''t treat my apprentice unfairly." "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on completing the quest. You have obtained 25,000 experience points and [Storage Ring] (Silver-level)! "Swish!" The experience given by the quest instantly filled Jack''s experience, which was already close to 80%, to level 17. They actually gave an item, and it was silver-level?! Jack quickly opened the backpack and found a ring with a cyan gemstone lying quietly inside. At the same time, the backpack area increased by exactly twice - [Storage Ring] (Silver-level) Introduction: On the Tianheng Continent, anyone with some strength will carry this treasure. With it, you can conveniently take out or store items and equipment. Effect: The backpack increases by 20 slots. (Note: The Storage Ring is not equipment. It takes effect as long as it is carried with you.) Nice item!Stolen story; please report. Jack was delighted. With the Storage Ring, the backpack space increased greatly. When picking up equipment, he didn''t need to worry too much. After all, a total of 30 slots of the backpack was enough for the early stage. "Mentor, do you know any information about the adventurers'' talents?" Jack asked. "Talent?" Daniel was stunned and then suddenly realized: "Come to think of it, you adventurers have only arrived on the Tianheng Continent for a few days and haven''t obtained talents yet. It''s normal for you to ask this question." Jack asked for advice: "Can you be more specific?" It had to be said that Daniel''s obsidian-level strength was quite powerful for the early adventurers and could provide him with great help. "When your strength truly reaches the average level of the natives, you will enter a unique secret realm. In the secret realm, you will have a special trial. After passing the trial, you will have about sixty minutes to obtain the talent you want." Daniel explained the situation as detailed as possible. "Those talents are like balloons of various colors. When you pick the talent you think is satisfactory, you can choose to leave." "There are sixty minutes to pick?" Jack felt a little strange. "Don''t think there''s a lot of time. In fact, most talents are very ordinary." Daniel shook his head and continued, "Within sixty minutes, you will most likely encounter all D and C-level talents. For example, my talent is C-level, called Potion Fanatic. It allows me to have a small probability of getting double rewards when making potions. The more difficult the potion, the smaller the probability." "... " Jack was speechless for a while. "Do you think it''s very bad? There''s no way. The higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. I also wanted to get A-level or even S-level talents back then. But reality will teach you a lesson." Daniel laughed and didn''t care. "I heard that the Sword God of the Light Faction, his talent is called Sword Heart. When using sword-type weapons, the final damage is increased by 80%. It''s really enviable!" "What level of talent is Sword Heart?" Jack asked curiously, "S-level?" Final damage! This effect is simply outrageously strong! It''s equivalent to originally 1,000 damage, now unconditionally increased to 1,800. And the word "final" means that the damage can be increased again on the premise of critical strike! "No, it''s SS-level!" Daniel shook his head: "The top talent in the entire Tianheng Continent!" "Is there an SSS-level above SS-level?" Jack continued to ask. "No." Daniel shook his head and denied: "In the entire Tianheng Continent, there are only a few owners of SS-level talents. It''s already the best talent. Including the grades of skills, from low to high, they have always been D, C, B, A, S, SS... Don''t think too much, kid. The S-level skill Evil Trample I gave you is already enough for you to cause trouble." "It''s to bring benefits." Jack corrected. ... The Protection of the Demon God (Page 1/2) "About talents, that''s all I know." Daniel said. Jack organized the information provided by Daniel and asked, "Then what is considered the average level of the natives?" Even if it''s average, there should always be a standard. "The average level of the natives should be silver grade." Daniel replied. "It mainly depends on the improvement of strength. Some people can enter the Talent Secret Realm at level 20, while others need to be at level 30 or above." "OK." Jack was still a little unwilling. "Is the strength of the talent related to the trial?" "Yes!" Daniel hesitated for a moment and nodded. "But... Forget it. I don''t want to discourage you. You''ll understand when you enter the trial yourself. Anyway, during the trial, you have enough time to consider how to deal with it. It''s no use preparing in advance because you can''t use equipment and items in the secret realm..." "OK." Since Daniel said so, he couldn''t ask any more questions. "Then..." Daniel''s tone paused and he said solemnly, "Now, it''s time for me to let you receive the protection of the Demon God!" "!!" Instantly, Jack, who had been digesting the content related to talents, came to his senses.Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. The protection of the Demon God! Good guy, it''s finally coming. Let me see what kind of special effect it is that can replace the resurrection privilege of adventurers! Jack took a deep breath and concentrated. "Great Demon God, please protect your people. I, Undead Mage ¡¤ Daniel, can guarantee Jack Shui''s loyalty to the Dark Faction with my reputation." Daniel murmured incantations and slowly raised the staff in his hand, placing the top of the staff on Jack''s forehead. "Swish!" After a moment, strands of light flowed out from the red gem embedded at the top of the staff and surrounded Jack''s body. "Gurgle..." As the ceremony proceeded, the blood in Jack''s body involuntarily began to stir. A purple-black mist burst out from his body and his black hair grew rapidly, returning to the evil appearance after his job transfer as a Dark Swordsman. The whole process lasted for about ten minutes. Finally, Daniel withdrew the staff and heaved a long breath, having expended a lot of energy. When everything ended, with the help of the Concealment Technique, Jack returned to normal. But the system notification that rang in his ears proved that Daniel''s actions were not in vain. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Congratulations on obtaining the protection of the Demon God and having the right to obtain a title! "..." After waiting for some time, Jack reacted and several black lines appeared on his forehead. "That''s it?" He thought that after obtaining the protection of the Demon God, he would get quite surprising benefits. However, before he could complain, another system notification came belatedly - "Ding! ~" System Prompt: As an adventurer who betrayed the Light Faction, you have obtained the title [The Fallen]! The Fallen? Full of doubts, he opened the character panel. When he saw the character attributes, he was shocked. Sure enough, as a substitute for infinite resurrection, the protection of the Demon God did not disappoint him! [The Fallen ¡¤ Jack Shui] (Bronze Grade BOSS) Level: 17 Life: 17850 Attack: 207 - 209 Defense: 108 - 114 Reputation: 1000 Luck: 0 Introduction: The Fallen who betrayed the Light Faction is bloodthirsty and extremely evil. Brave adventurers, kill him. His death will bring you amazing benefits! ... Nice! It''s simply amazing! Looking at the brackets following the character attribute panel, Jack couldn''t help feeling secretly pleased. (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading.) The Protection of the Demon God (Page 2/2) Although it''s still bronze grade, but... Finally, I''m also a BOSS! Then, he looked at the title of The Fallen and immediately understood why his health points had doubled, reaching a level that was currently unimaginable for players! [The Fallen] (Title): Increase the final health points by 100%! There was no description, but the effect given almost blinded Jack''s eyes. Double the final health points! This has the word "final", which means that the bonus of the title is forcibly increased by 100% after all the life-related enhancements are calculated! "I probably understand why the health points of BOSSes are so thick..." Jack felt that by joining the Dark Faction, he had witnessed a scenery that ordinary players couldn''t see. When thinking carefully, he felt that the protection of the Demon God was very reasonable. Players "cheat" by being able to resurrect and rebirth infinitely, exchanging the right to continue leveling up and becoming stronger at the cost of level loss. Then on the side of the Dark Faction, the difficulty of being killed must be increased for balance. Although as natives, the BOSSes of the Dark Faction are likely still doomed. But he was different. He was an adventurer who joined the Dark Faction, having the speed of strength improvement of adventurers while being extremely difficult to kill like a BOSS. He had both advantages. Perhaps, at present, just the title of The Fallen couldn''t compete with the privilege of infinite resurrection. But what he received was the protection of the Demon God, not just a simple title.Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. This means that in the future, he can obtain a stronger title than "The Fallen" to increase the thickness of his health bar. Thinking of the scene where players would find that his health bar was so thick that they couldn''t even defeat him in the future, he couldn''t help but look forward to it. However, in the early stage, the title of The Fallen combined with the recovery effect of the Power of Death has already made him unrivaled. "Jack Shui, my dear disciple, how is it?" Daniel looked at Jack''s expression and laughed heartily. "Are you shocked by the effect of the protection of the Demon God?" "Indeed a little." Jack nodded. It took a long time to calm down the excitement in his heart. "Mentor, where should we go next? We can''t sleep in the wild all the time, can we?" He really didn''t know which area Daniel belonged to. According to the usual routine, "wild monsters" would be fixed in a reasonable map, waiting for adventurers to become strong enough and then go to kill them. Of course, he wasn''t considering those for Daniel. Mainly, the Demonized Lizards could no longer meet his leveling needs. He wanted to go to a more dangerous place to maintain his level advantage. "Now that my injuries have healed, there''s no need to be timid. Follow me." Daniel smiled smugly and walked ahead. "In fact, my identity as a mentor is not as simple as you imagine." "Oh?" Jack was quite surprised. Is it really appropriate to brag like this? However, he couldn''t criticize his mentor. He could only follow behind Daniel, leave the Barren Land with him, and head to the next map. The two walked one after the other, crossing the barren desert area and entering a vast plain. Looking from afar, there was a majestic and towering city like a mountain range stretching across the land, presenting itself in their vision and impossible to ignore. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: You have entered the map [The Dark City]! [The Dark City] (First-level City) Introduction: Originally it was the territory of the Light Faction and was called the City of Heaven''s Light. Led by the Ten Demon Gods, it has been included in the territory of the Dark Faction. But as a first-level city very close to the Light forces, wars occur all year round. The Light Faction''s intention to recapture the City of Heaven''s Light has never changed. ... The Dark City (Page 1/2) The gentle breeze blew, and the strong grass swayed with the wind. However, the faint and indistinct bloody smell mixed in the wind seemed to prove the past unrest of this place. "Rustle..." Stepping on the land with dried blood traces, Jack and Daniel arrived under the city gate of the Dark City. Several skeleton soldiers above, holding axes and wearing shabby copper and iron, saw the arrivals and immediately commanded: "Quickly open the city gate to welcome. It''s the city lord below!" "Quickly, quickly. Don''t keep the city lord waiting for too long!" "The lord has been out for several months. Finally, he''s back." ... Those skeleton soldiers waved the weapons in their hands, very excited. Listening to their words, Jack, who followed behind Daniel, was a little stunned: "Teacher, you are the city lord of the Dark City?" City lord! Just a dark gold-level boss. How dare you be the city lord of a first-level main city? Are you tired of living?! Regarding the level of the city, Jack didn''t know much. But according to the few messages revealed by the official, it should be divided into five levels in total. From small to large, they are fourth-level villages, third-level towns, second-level cities, first-level main cities, and the highest-level super main cities. Among them, there is only one super main city in each server globally, and then comes the first-level main city. From this, the importance of the first-level main city can be known. Under normal circumstances, no matter how it should be, a super powerful boss should be stationed in the first-level main city. Dark gold-level should be the first few waves of sacrificial soldiers. How could it be the turn of a dark gold-level to be the city lord.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. "I have been in office for less than half a year, so not many people know about it." Daniel seemed quite proud. He couldn''t help straightening his chest to show the style of the city lord to his disciple who he just accepted not long ago, "It was also because of the strength bonus from the title of the city lord that I had the opportunity to break through to the spirit level." "..." Seeing his smug look, Jack didn''t want to spoil his mood and smiled awkwardly. Seeing the city gate open, he entered together with Daniel. Entering the city, Jack looked around curiously to the left and right, and threw a detection skill at the skeleton soldiers who came to welcome - [Skeleton Soldier] (Common Monster) Level:??? Life:??? Attack:??? Defense:??? Skill:??? Introduction: Transformed from the dead human soldiers, most of them are because the resentment in their hearts cannot be resolved. Therefore, they are unwilling to die completely. They would rather choose to reappear in the world as undead to fight against the unfair world... Although the attributes couldn''t be seen, the title of Skeleton Soldier and the marking of Common Monster in parentheses were simply like having the word "Trash" pasted on their faces. Jack found it hard to imagine how powerful they were. "The deputy city lord is coming!" A skeleton soldier reminded. Soon, the skeleton soldiers who surrounded Jack and Daniel made way. Hearing this, Jack looked up and saw a undead creature holding a long spear and riding a skeleton horse passing through the group of skeletons, dismounting in front of Daniel, and kneeling on one knee: "I''ve seen the city lord!" Jack also threw a detection skill. Although all the attributes were question marks, he still saw his title and name - [Undead Knight ¡¤ Kant] (Gold-level Boss) Very good. Excellent... Jack had a bad premonition. When entering the Dark City, he received relevant introductions about this city, among which there was a sentence that the Light Camp''s intention to recapture the Skylight City had never changed. There was no doubt that although this city was taken over by the Dark Camp, it was too close to the jurisdiction of the Light Camp. In the future, it would definitely be the first to bear the brunt and be attacked in turns. The Dark Camp couldn''t support well, so it was abandoned by the high-level and a cannon fodder was arranged to be the city lord. "You''re welcome. During my absence, you''ve worked hard." Daniel laughed and quickly helped Kant up. Kant was respectful and shook his head: "The city lord is joking. This is all part of my duty." (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading) The Dark City (Page 2/2) "By the way, let me introduce you. This is my newly accepted disciple, YiJack Shui." Daniel pointed at Jack and introduced him to the deputy city lord. "Hello." Kant nodded his skeleton head to show his greeting: "I can vaguely sense that your evil aura is very terrifying. Your future is limitless." "Of course." Daniel affirmed, "In the history of Tianheng Continent, there has never been a weak Dark Swordsman!" Several people "talked and laughed", walked along the main city street all the way, and finally arrived at the dilapidated city lord''s mansion due to the war. They sent Kant away at the entrance of the mansion. Immediately, Daniel and Jack entered the city lord''s mansion. "Teacher, aren''t you panicked?" Jack was a little curious. Judging from Daniel''s series of behaviors, he was by no means a fool. There was no reason why he couldn''t distinguish the reality and was immersed in the dream of being the city lord and couldn''t extricate himself. "No panic." Daniel shook his head: "I''m an Undead Mage. Death is not scary for me. It''s rare to be a city lord once. I can die without regrets." Jack: "..." Come on. You''re not afraid of death. I haven''t lived enough yet! "I know what you''re thinking." As if knowing Jack''s thoughts in his heart, Daniel said calmly, "Strictly speaking, Undead Mages don''t belong to the Dark Camp. So the high-level of the Dark Camp also have some¼Éµ¬ towards Undead Mages. They don''t want the terror of the Undead Catastrophe to repeat again."This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Undead Catastrophe? Jack was slightly astonished. This sounds like the plot of a game a long time ago... "On the Tianheng Continent, all the living creatures are afraid of the undead and extremely reject them." Daniel laughed, "So I am destined to die. But I have already got what I want in this city. Next, as long as I achieve my purpose, death is not scary for me. Of course..." His tone paused, looking at Jack indifferently, his gaze was gentle: "Since I am your teacher, I will naturally not pull you into hell. Although being the city lord in your view is a bad thing for you, before everything happens, as the city lord, I can still give you some good benefits." Good benefits? Jack asked curiously: "Such as..." To be honest, he really didn''t expect that Daniel saw everything so clearly. But he said that he got what he wanted in the city. Then what was his purpose exactly? "The Light and Dark Camps are sharpening their knives and getting ready. The epic war is about to begin. But at this moment, they haven''t torn their faces after all. The calm before the storm still continues..." Daniel patted Jack''s shoulder and said earnestly, "Before the disaster begins, I will sharpen you well. And with the identity of the city lord, I happen to obtain many resources for your growth." "..." Staring at Daniel blankly, this cheap teacher he somehow worshipped, Jack''s heart had waves. He deeply felt the true charm of the game as the ninth art and couldn''t even distinguish the game from reality. Was he real or a virtual intelligence? After pondering for a moment, Daniel issued the task: "Recently, wild mice invaded by demonic qi often appear around the Dark City. They always attack the patrolling skeleton soldiers, and the number is getting larger and larger. Go and help clear the wild mice." "Ding! ~" System prompt: Do you accept the task [Clear the Wild Mice] (Difficulty: C)! "Yes!" Jack chose to accept without hesitation, but then immediately asked the doubt in his heart: "Shouldn''t creatures invaded by demonic qi belong to the Dark Camp?" From the newbie village until now, most of the creatures he met were invaded by demonic qi. Therefore, their personalities changed greatly, becoming violent and bloodthirsty. The so-called demonic qi sounded quite evil. It shouldn''t have nothing to do with the Dark Camp... ... The Demonized Rat King (Page 1/2) "Most beasts that have been invaded by demonic qi have lost their sanity. Except for having an innate kindness towards the same kind of creatures and being able to live in peace, when facing other creatures, no matter which faction you belong to, they will just fight blindly until death." Daniel patiently answered for him. Then he waved his hand and said: "Some things, even if you know them with your current strength, they don''t have much significance. The most important thing is to grow quickly. You should know that the Dark Swordsman has a bad reputation in the Light Faction. Once you enter the vision of the strong, you will lose the chance to grow." "Alright." Jack stopped asking. After getting the quest and seeing that it was already twelve o''clock at night, he thought: "Forget it. My life is more important." Thinking about it, Jack decided not to stay up late today. He logged off peacefully, took a bath, and fell asleep safely. ... The next day. After filling his stomach with two mushroom buns, Jack quickly logged in. As planned, he left the City Lord''s Mansion and went outside the city to clear the wild rats. [Clear the Wild Rats] (Difficulty: C) Introduction: Eradicate the wild rats that have been attacking the Skeleton Soldiers. If you can find the source and uproot it completely, that would be the best. Requirements: Kill 500 Demonized Wild Rats After simply scanning the quest panel, Jack asked a passing Skeleton Soldier beside him: "Brother, where are the most Demonized Wild Rats?" "I''m clearly a girl. How could you call me brother?" The Skeleton Soldier''s tone was resentful. Jack: "..." How could I tell if you''re a man or a woman when you''re just a bunch of skeletons?Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. "Little... Little sister, where are the most Demonized Wild Rats?" Jack couldn''t help but wipe the sweat and had to change his words. "To the south of the Gloomy City. The Demonized Wild Rats there are particularly gathered. And..." Here, the Skeleton Soldier hesitated. Jack was very curious: "And what?" "And they always like to drill into my body. It''s really annoying. I feel so sorry for my boyfriend." The Skeleton Soldier said sadly. ... With great speechlessness, Jack left the Gloomy City and headed south. Sure enough, he saw Demonized Wild Rats scurrying around on the ground. Their whole bodies had black hair, their eyes were red, and their physiques were close to the size of a man''s arm. Their slender tails kept swinging. Gathering together like this was truly creepy. [Demonized Wild Rat] (Common Monster) Level: 22 Health: 35,000 Attack: 150 - 160 Defense: 70 - 80 Skill: [Gnaw] Introduction: Originally ordinary wild rats, but after being contaminated by demonic qi and eating a large amount of flesh and blood of the soldiers attacking the Gloomy City, they have gained considerable strength. Coupled with their terrifying number and extremely fast reproduction, clearing them requires a lot of time. The Skeleton Soldiers of the Gloomy City detest them very much ... "So many?" Jack felt troubled. He roughly counted and found that the number of Demonized Wild Rats at one spawn point was as many as more than twenty. Once he provoked their hatred, at least twenty or more Demonized Wild Rats would attack together. Although their attack wasn''t high, their unit size was small. They could all attack at the same time. It was quite troublesome. "Squeak!!" Just as Jack was observing them, the Demonized Wild Rats were extremely sensitive and discovered the uninvited guest. They all bristled. Seeming to be afraid, they all fled. In the blink of an eye, not a single Demonized Wild Rat remained at the spawn point. "!!" This scene stunned Jack. I haven''t run yet. Why are you running? "Ding! ~" System prompt: The Demonized Wild Rats, by instinct, have discovered the hidden evil aura within you! Fortunately, the system kindly answered Jack''s doubts. "My hidden evil aura?" Jack was speechless. This was really strange. Could this mysterious "evil aura" actually come in handy? Secretly praising the privilege obtained by transferring to the Dark Swordsman, he no longer hesitated. He looked everywhere for the spawn points. When he saw the Demonized Wild Rats and before they noticed him, he decisively used Evil Trample to approach and exert control. -2,200! ... The attack of the Demonized Wild Rats wasn''t bad, but their defense was relatively low. With Jack''s current attributes, even without a critical strike, he could still deal four-digit damage. Then followed by Wild Slash, he could directly take away one-sixth of their health. The speed of killing them wasn''t slow. (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading) The Demonized Rat King (Page 2/2) "Squeak!" The Demonized Wild Rat that was caught by Jack kept making sharp sounds. Knowing that it couldn''t escape, it was forced to fight. Unfortunately, it was completely abandoned by its companions and posed no threat to Jack at all. Soon, it turned into a corpse and became 650 experience points. That is to say, at Jack''s current level, he needed over 100,000 experience to level up. He needed to kill more than 150 Demonized Wild Rats to reach level 18. The difficulty of leveling up could be imagined. However, Jack wasn''t impatient. Since the Demonized Wild Rats could only counterattack when forced and would run away when seeing him, they couldn''t pose a threat. The quest would be completed sooner or later. Although the Gloomy City was in a very dangerous situation and conflicts could break out at any time, the general routine of the game was that players needed to reach a certain strength first before the "large-scale event" like the siege battle broke out. At present, it would take at least a month for players to increase their strength to contend with the obsidian-level BOSS. There was still plenty of time for him. One hour... two hours... Time passed slowly. Jack was immersed in killing monsters with great enjoyment. Facing the Demonized Wild Rats that should have been troublesome to deal with in groups, he had the privilege to defeat them one by one. "Swish!" Finally, after two and a half hours passed, Jack leveled up. Because of the bonus of the title "The Fallen", his health increased by more than a thousand and all attributes also increased a lot. "Hey!" Finally, after Jack killed the 187th Demonized Wild Rat, besides the 30 copper coins that dropped on the ground, there was also a pair of wrist guards -This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon. [Black Iron Wrist Guards] (Bronze-level) Defense: 10 - 12 Effect: Defense + 3% Required Level: 20 Introduction: Fine-quality equipment in the blacksmith shop of a third-level town. Ordinary adventurers simply can''t afford to buy it ... Nice item. Unfortunately, like the Huangyan Armor, it required level 20 to equip. Jack could only first put it in the backpack and continue his monster-killing journey. However, just at this moment, the system bell rang three times in a row in his ears - "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations to the player [God''s Forbidden Zone] in theÃÀÈðDistrict for obtaining the B-level talent [Agility]. As the first adventurer to obtain the talent, an additional reward is given: Talent grade + 1, fame + 10,000, and free attribute points + 10! "..." Looking at the system message, Jack was stunned. Someone has obtained the talent so quickly? "Sure enough, there are too many experts among the players." Jack couldn''t help but sigh. Although it was quite a pity that he didn''t become the first player to obtain the talent, he wasn''t so arrogant as to think that only he could get special opportunities and be ahead in the game. "Squeak --" Suddenly, the ground not far away vibrated, cracks appeared, and then a huge purple rat monster emerged from the soil, howled towards the sky, and emitted a shrill sound that made people''s heads buzz. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Adventurer, please note that your large-scale killing of the Demonized Wild Rats has aroused the anger of the silver-level BOSS [Demonized Rat King]! The Demonized Rat King?! Before the other party''s "showing off on the entrance" ended, Jack immediately threw a Detection Skill - [Demonized Rat King] (Silver-level BOSS) Level:??? Health: 150,000 Attack: 220 - 230 Defense: 140 - 155 Skill:??? Introduction: The Rat King that has come into contact with the source of demonic qi. The amazing opportunity has given it far stronger strength than the Demonized Wild Rats. But it usually hides from the world and is extremely difficult to encounter ... The defense was okay, but the attack was indeed extremely powerful. The level and skills couldn''t be seen, indicating that it had partially exceeded the detection range of the Detection Skill! However... A silver-level BOSS! Jack tightened the Wild Buffalo Sword in his hand, and his heart was burning with excitement. In his opinion, if there were Demonized Wild Rats to assist it, he might be a little wary. But the wild rats were driven away by his evil aura. In a one-on-one situation, he was confident that he wasn''t afraid of the Demonized Rat King! "The reward for being the first to obtain the talent wasn''t obtained. The benefit of being the first to kill the silver-level BOSS can''t be snatched by others again!" ... First Kill of Silver Grade (Page 1/2) "Squeak -" The body of the Demonized Rat King was as huge as a small hill, its eyes full of killing intent. It kept squeaking at Jack and then charged towards him with its four limbs, extremely fast. However, Jack was even faster. He started with Evil Trample, and his movement speed soared. He approached like a gust of wind and then jumped high, stepping hard on the head of the Demonized Rat King, causing a 0.2-second suppression. Being stepped on the head, the Rat King felt greatly humiliated. Its body trembled, shaking him off, and opened its blood-filled mouth full of sharp teeth to bite Jack. Seeing this, Jack dodged to the side, trying to avoid it. But the Rat King''s attack speed was very fast and it still bit his shoulder. -1105! Immediately, Jack''s health points decreased by a section. "The damage is indeed outrageous. Fortunately, there''s the bonus of the title. Otherwise, I really couldn''t fight it!" Jack''s expression was calm. He decisively used Wild Slash, leaving several bloody marks and taking away nearly 4,000 of its health points. The Demonized Rat King became even more angry and increased the attack frequency. But Jack was always confident in his movement. He kept circling around the huge body of the Demonized Rat King, disrupting the hit rate of its attacks. "Squeak!" At a certain moment, the eyes of the Demonized Rat King shone with red light and its attack speed suddenly increased. It no longer relied on its teeth for attack but pressed its entire body forward. Seeing the flesh mountain charging towards him, Jack, who was already beside it, had no way to avoid it. But at a critical moment, he chose to use the cooled Evil Trample, jumped up again, and stepped on the head of the Demonized Rat King once more. "Ding! ~"The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. System Prompt: You used the skill [Evil Trample] to successfully interrupt the skill release of the Demonized Rat King! Awesome! Jack couldn''t help but sigh that Evil Trample could indeed be called a "divine skill". The more he used it, the more exciting it was. It was both showy and practical. Jumping off the Rat King''s body again, Jack waved the Bison Sword for normal attacks, trying to wear down its as high as 150,000 health points. Of course, not all damages could be avoided. During this period, he still had to use healing potions to keep his health bar above the safety line as much as possible to avoid accidents. 80%! 60%! Jack attacked methodically with extreme concentration. When the Rat King''s health points reached 50%, he immediately stepped back a few steps. Be careful and you''ll sail safely for thousands of years. Generally, when the BOSS''s health points drop to half, it will definitely have a skill to release. It''s better to be steady. "Squeak!" Sure enough, the Rat King screamed, as if to convey some kind of message to the surrounding. "Squeak squeak squeak..." A few seconds later, a large number of Demonized Wild Rats around responded and emerged from the ground. But when they saw Jack, they quickly dug back. Jack: "..." Demonized Rat King: "..." They came fast and left fast. The scene was somewhat funny, causing both the man and the rat to be stunned for a few seconds. Seemingly realizing that all the minions it summoned had run away, the Demonized Rat King turned and went to the deep pit it just dug and buried its head in. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: The evil presence and powerful strength on you make the Demonized Rat King feel afraid. Therefore, it chooses to escape! Run? How dare you run? Jack rushed up quickly, grabbed its thick and long tail, and pulled it out with all his strength: "You want to run after having fun? Get out here for me!" Unfortunately, in terms of strength alone as a "Bronze Grade BOSS", it was indeed unable to compete with the Silver Grade BOSS. Not only did he fail to pull the Rat King out, but he was also pulled into the deep pit along with it. "Can you escape the first kill?" Jack held the rat tail with one hand and thrust the Bison Sword forward with the other hand, stabbing the Rat King''s butt full of wounds and its health points dropped rapidly. However, the Demonized Rat King ignored it and still fled deeper. "Swish!" When its health points dropped to 30%, it finally reached the destination and entered the inside of a cave illuminated by purple light, arriving at the central area. "This is..." Jack, who had been holding the rat tail tightly, looked up and found that the Demonized Rat King was beside a purple-glowing glazed crystal. Its injuries were recovering quickly and its health points were rising rapidly. (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading.) First Kill of Silver Grade (Page 2/2) +2500! +2500! ... Letting go and standing up, Jack''s expression became solemn: "This should be the source!" "Gurgle..." Suddenly, Jack felt his blood boiling. Under the irradiation of the purple light, he felt his strength increasing continuously - "Ding! ~" System Prompt: You are irradiated by the [Purple Lightning Gem]. The evil power within you is temporarily stimulated. All attributes +1000% for one minute! All attributes +1000%?! Jack was stunned. Opening the attribute panel and looking at it, the attack was a full more than 2,000. Coming to the treasure, the Demonized Rat King suddenly became bold and turned to squeak at Jack, ready to enter the battle again. "Die." Despite being shocked, Jack knew the priorities. Get the first kill of the Silver Grade first and then explore the origin of the Purple Lightning Gem! Wild Slash! Looking at the pouncing Demonized Rat King, Jack waved the Bison Sword. The four consecutive strikes directly took it away - -15699! -17888!The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. -20002! -23988! ... A total of more than 70,000 damage. For the Demonized Rat King whose health points were only more than 50,000 left, it simply couldn''t withstand it. Moreover, the terrifying destructive power cut its body into four pieces. The scene was extremely tragic. "Swish!" Golden light flew up! The rich experience, unsurprisingly, pushed Jack''s level to level 19 and reached 73%! At the same time, the pleasant system notification rang in Jack''s ears - "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Congratulations on successfully killing the Silver Grade BOSS [Demonized Rat King] and obtaining the reward: Experience +180000! "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Congratulations on killing the Silver Grade BOSS [Demonized Rat King]. As the first player in the game to defeat a Silver Grade BOSS, you receive an additional reward: Reputation +1000, Free Attribute Points +20, Rare Item [Favor Ability]! Favor Ability? Jack opened the character''s bag with anticipation and saw a shining scroll. Immediately checking the scroll effect. Since the first kill of the Bronze Grade could obtain a treasure like the Tianyou Bead, the reward for the first kill of the Silver Grade couldn''t be worse than the Tianyou Bead - [Favor Ability] (Grade S) Effect: Unconditionally upgrade any skill of Grade B and below by one level Introduction: Favor Ability is a product of nature. They contain some of the powers that only gods can possess and are extremely precious. However, in this world, there will always be some lucky ones who will be favored by fate Unconditionally upgrade a Grade B skill by one level! Jack was overjoyed: "This is much stronger than the Tianyou Bead!" The advantage of skills couldn''t be compared with equipment at all. Moreover, Gold Grade equipment was important in the early stage and would be eliminated sooner or later. In terms of practicality, it couldn''t compare to Grade A skills no matter what. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Do you want to inform all adventurers who have descended on Tianheng Continent of your brilliant record? (Note: After the server-wide announcement, you can obtain 10,000 reputation points) "Yes!" Jack decisively chose to agree. His name was now extremely popular throughout the game. There was no need to hide it at all. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Congratulations to the Eastern Region player [Jack Shui] for becoming the first player to defeat a Silver Grade BOSS. Special announcement! "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Congratulations to the Eastern Region player [Jack Shui] for becoming the first player to defeat a Silver Grade BOSS. Special announcement! ... After that, Jack picked up the equipment dropped by the Demonized Rat King and was about to check the attributes. At this moment, another system prompt that made him shiver all over rang in his ears - "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Adventurer [Jack Shui], your talent trial will start in three minutes! ... Talent Trial (Page 1/2) The talent trial started so suddenly?! Jack took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and remained calm: "There are still three minutes to prepare!" For obtaining talents, although there is a lot of luck involved, besides that, the talent trial is the only way to have a chance to improve the level of the obtained talent. According to Daniel, you can''t use items or carry equipment in the trial, but he never said that you can''t use skills. In other words, items and equipment are to prevent players from "cheating", such as carrying forbidden curse scrolls, top-notch equipment without level restrictions, etc. Skills belong to oneself and naturally don''t belong to the category of cheating. But the improvement that skills can bring is not to be underestimated. Especially... Passive skills that increase attributes! Without hesitation, he took out the scroll of Blessing Power that the system just rewarded from his bag and tore it apart. "Swish!" Suddenly, a multicolored glow overflowed from where the scroll was torn, and then turned into a stream of light and drilled into Jack''s eyebrows, making Jack feel warm all over, as if he was in a hot spring. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You used the S-level item [Blessing Power]. Please choose the skill you want to upgrade! (Note: Only B-level and below skills are available) "Dark Swordsmanship!" Jack decisively chose Dark Swordsmanship, which could bring him a large amount of attack bonus. At present, he only has four skills. Evil Trample is S-level, Death Power is A-level. The Blessing Power has no effect on these two skills and can be ignored. Compared with Dark Swordsmanship, although Wild Slash is also quite powerful, it pales in comparison.This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. "Ding!" System prompt: Due to the effect of Blessing Power, your skill [Dark Swordsmanship] (B-level) has advanced to [Slaughter Technique] (A-level)! There wasn''t much preparation time. Jack immediately opened the skill panel to check the information - [Slaughter Technique] (Passive) (A-level) Introduction: The exclusive skill of the Dark Swordsman, which is terrifying. It once set off a bloody storm on the Tianheng Continent. It is the ultimate method that can only be comprehended after experiencing endless slaughter. Effect: Base attack + 200, attack + 20% Extra effect: Attack speed + 50% ... Strong! Extremely strong! Looking at the skill description, Jack''s heart was filled with excitement. The passive increase of attack of Dark Swordsmanship is only 50 points. But when it advanced to Slaughter Technique, it quadrupled. Moreover, it also provides percentage attack bonus. At the same time, the restriction of equipping sword weapons is removed and it takes effect unconditionally! What is this concept? You should know that his current upper limit of attack is only over 200 points. The value given by a passive skill directly doubles his attack! Now, if he were to deal with the Demonic Rat King again, it would be as easy as cutting melons and vegetables! Then, Jack''s gaze swept over the Purple Lightning Gem beside him and reached out to take it: "It would be great if the ten times attribute boost of the Purple Lightning Gem could be brought into the talent trial..." Of course, it was just a thought. There are definitely no shortage of such items that can briefly enhance strength in the Tianheng Continent. If they could be brought into the talent trial, the natives with a strong background would probably have at least A-level talents to start with. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You obtained the A-level item [Purple Lightning Gem]! [Purple Lightning Gem] (A-level) Introduction: A magical gem that can stimulate the potential of the human body for a short time. If your potential is large, your strength will naturally increase greatly. But if your potential is insufficient, the improvement will be quite limited. Effect: Improve strength based on potential. The duration is one minute. Usage times: 2/3 (Note: There are many factors affecting potential. The system will comprehensively consider growth star level, profession, attributes, skills, etc.) ... The usage times became 2/3, indicating that it has been used once. Presumably, the previous boost was also forcibly included in the times. "No wonder Daniel said I have great potential." Jack somewhat understood. The growth star level of the Dark Swordsman is no joke. Moreover, it is the only hidden profession. The potential is imaginable. (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading) Talent Trial (Page 2/2) "Ding! ~" System prompt: You will enter the talent trial within ten seconds! Nine! Eight! Seven! ... When the countdown ended, white light fell from the void, wrapped Jack, and made him disappear from the cave and no one knew where he went. "Swish!" The scene changed and Jack arrived in a forest filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. The sunlight fell, and the tree shadows were mottled. The atmosphere was quiet. "Ding! ~" System prompt: The trial begins. Please kill the enemy within ten minutes. If you succeed in killing, the range of talent acquisition will be upgraded to C - D level. If you fail, it will be D level! Soon, a countdown appeared in Jack''s vision. Enemy? He looked down and saw the phantom of a gray rabbit appear in front of him and gradually solidify into a real thing - [Wild Rabbit] (Common Monster) Level: 1 Life: 100 Attack: 3 - 3 Defense: 1 - 1 Skill: NoneReading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there. Introduction: An ordinary wild rabbit appears in the talent trial. What awaits its fate? Wild rabbit? Jack was speechless for a moment. This attribute is even worse than the Slime. Who does the difficulty of the talent trial look down upon? He didn''t immediately launch an attack. He opened the attribute panel to check and confirmed that the effect of Slaughter Technique was directly brought into the talent trial and heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that his idea was correct. The bonus of skills could indeed be brought into the talent trial. [Fallen One ¡¤ YiJack Shui] (Bronze-level Boss) Level: 1 Life: 500 Attack: 271 Defense: 5 Reputation: 12000 Luck: 0 Unallocated free attribute points: 20 Introduction: The fallen one who betrayed the Light Camp is bloodthirsty and extremely evil. Brave adventurers, kill him. He will bring you amazing benefits! ... A full 271 points of attack, but it appeared in the panel of a level 1 player. It was simply unimaginable. If other players knew, undoubtedly, they wouldn''t be shocked. Instead, they would scold you because the picture was too fake! "It seems that the free attribute points rewarded by the system can also be brought in." Jack calculated a little and came to the conclusion. Then he added all 20 free attribute points to attack. After roughly understanding the trial process, he approached the wild rabbit, went up and kicked it, killing it brutally. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on meeting the conditions. The range of talent acquisition has been upgraded to C - D level! "Swish!" The next second, the wild rabbit turned into a phantom and gradually disappeared. Instead, a undead with only white bones appeared, about the size of an adult, looking creepy. Obviously, after you meet the conditions in the trial, the next stage will be unlocked. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please kill the enemy within ten minutes. If you succeed in killing, the range of talent acquisition will be upgraded to B - D level. If you fail, it will be C - D level! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Your level has reached level 10! He wasn''t surprised that his level was raised by the system because his opponent at this stage was also at level 10. Obviously, in the trial, at least in terms of level, both sides will be on par. "Jeje!" The undead made a strange cry and charged towards Jack. However, with the boost of Slaughter Technique and the super high growth star level, the undead was simply not enough to look at and was blown up with two clean punches by Jack. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on meeting the conditions. The range of talent acquisition has been upgraded to B - D level! "I want to see, with the growth of the Dark Swordsman and the bonus of Slaughter Technique, what level of talent can I finally get!" Jack rubbed his hands, looking forward to it extremely. ... Challenging the Water Qilin (Page 1/2) When the undead turned into a phantom and slowly dissipated in the trial site, the next stage began without giving Jack any rest time. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please kill the enemy within ten minutes. If you succeed in killing, the range of talent acquisition will be upgraded to A - D level. If you fail, it will be B - D level! There was no doubt that the difficulty of this trial would keep increasing until it reached the difficulty limit or you were defeated by the enemy before it ended. "Awuu!" A Demonized Wild Wolf with scarlet hair all over its body appeared in Jack''s vision. Its level was 20! [Demonized Wild Wolf] (Common Monster) Level: 20 Health: 30,000 Attack: 130 - 140 Defense: 80 Skill: [Bite] Introduction: One of the phantoms in the talent trial. If you can defeat it, it means you are a qualified adventurer ... At the same time, Jack''s level was also passively raised to level 20, which was even higher than his real level in the game. After looking at the attributes of the Demonized Wild Wolf, Jack felt relieved. After all, it wasn''t a BOSS and its attributes were much worse than his. It wasn''t too difficult to kill it. Although he lost his weapons and armor, with the passive of the growth stars and the Art of Slaughter, Jack wasn''t afraid at all. While the Demonized Wild Wolf pounced at him, his fists bombarded like raindrops, hitting its abdomen until it was knocked away. With his hands in front and behind, he posed a rather pretentious posture and said calmly: "Wing Chun, Jack."Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. "Awuu!" Unfortunately, the Demonized Wild Wolf didn''t understand at all how terrifying the human it encountered was, a martial arts master. It still chose to rush up crazily and was beaten up. In the end, it was beaten to death by random punches. "Obviously, in front of the authentic Wing Chun, a wild wolf is not enough to look at." After completing the kill, Jack couldn''t help but comment on himself. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on meeting the conditions. The range of talent acquisition has been upgraded to A - D level! After passing another stage of the talent trial, the next system prompt followed closely, indicating that defeating the next enemy would allow the range of talents obtained to reach S - D. "Seems not difficult." Jack felt a little strange. It wasn''t that he was arrogant and overconfident. Mainly, he didn''t think that the Demonized Wild Wolf could stop countless people and make most people get talents of B, C, and D levels. Before he could think more, the next enemy appeared. It was a human soldier, still in the category of common monsters, and the level was 30. Since the other party also had no weapons, the two fell into a brawl, punching each other. In the end, Jack''s Wing Chun was still better and he won. The range of talent acquisition naturally reached the S - D level! "Next should be the SS-level talent, right?" Jack was full of doubts. To be honest, the process was somewhat easy. At least the entire talent adjustment so far hadn''t escaped his control. However, Jack was wrong. The next system bell didn''t show the range of SS-level talents and broke his doubts - "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please kill the enemy within ten minutes. If you succeed in killing, the range of talent acquisition will be upgraded to S - B level. If you fail, it will be S - D level! "..." In an instant, Jack suddenly understood. Upper limit! The previous challenges were just to increase the upper limit of the talent acquisition level. And the next challenge was to increase the lower limit! That is to say, even if the previous battles were passed, the obtained talent might still only be at the D level. Whether you could get the S level still depended on luck. "So that''s it." Jack took a deep breath and maintained a normal state of mind. He really wanted to see how difficult the next challenge would be! "Roar!" The phantom of the human soldier dissipated. What appeared in front of Jack again was a young tiger with purple wings on its back. (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading) Challenging the Water Qilin (Page 2/2) The young tiger''s hair was light yellow with black stripes. Its physique was small, only reaching Jack''s knee. It seemed not yet grown. But even so, an indescribable pressure emanated from it. Its eyes like purple gems stared at Jack, carrying killing intent. After entering the battle state, its wings had electric currents around them. It seemed very difficult to deal with - [Purple-winged Young Tiger] (Obsidian-level BOSS) Level: 1 Health: 50,000 Attack: 360 - 380 Defense: 150 - 150 Skills: [Wing of Thunder] [Thunderous Roar] [Royal Dignity] [Punishment of Thunder Tribulation] Introduction: A powerful tiger species that grows on the top of the Thunder Cloud Mountain Range. With thunder wings, even if it was just born and has not shown its true power yet, it is not something that ordinary adventurers can challenge. The phantom formed of it will be your nightmare ... It was very fierce! Especially the level, indicating that the future strength of the Purple-winged Young Tiger was absolutely unimaginable. However, Jack was still calm. It was true that the Purple-winged Young Tiger was very strong. At the same level of 1, he would undoubtedly lose. But the system wouldn''t be so disgusting to the players. It still raised his level to 40. With the super high growth, in terms of attributes, he had the advantage. Without hesitation, Jack chose to take the initiative, approaching quickly and punching the other party on the forehead.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. -4,050! A damage of more than 4,000 popped up! Regarding this, Jack wasn''t surprised. At level 40, his attack was as high as 576, which could greatly break through the defense. "Roar!" Being attacked, the Purple-winged Young Tiger fell into rage. Its purple wings on the back spread out, preparing to fly into the sky. But Jack took the initiative. He jumped up suddenly, stepped on its head, and stomped it back to the ground. And then he used Wild Slash. His fists fell like raindrops without mercy. After a round of attack, it directly took away more than 20,000 of its health, close to half. "Roar!!" The Purple-winged Young Tiger let out a deafening tiger roar. The sonic attack of Thunderous Roar and the attribute weakening of Royal Dignity were both launched. But Jack ignored them. Even though the Evil Trample skill ended, he still did his best to suppress the other party to prevent it from flying into the sky and losing his attack opportunity. In just thirty seconds, the Purple-winged Young Tiger''s health was at the bottom. "Click --" In the void, a thunderbolt suddenly struck down and hit Jack, causing quite terrifying damage. His health directly lost one-third. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You were hit by the [Punishment of Thunder Tribulation] of the Purple-winged Young Tiger and lost 6,757 health! Jack''s fist fell and he shouted lightly: "Die!" "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on meeting the conditions. The range of talent acquisition has been upgraded to S - B level! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on successfully defeating the Purple-winged Young Tiger and obtaining the reward: +5 Free Attribute Points! ... Was there an unexpected surprise? Jack opened the character panel and added all the attribute points to attack. So far, the free attribute points were extremely precious. It seemed to belong to the reward level. Only some relatively precious honors could be obtained. Up to now, except for killing the Purple-winged Young Tiger, the previous ones were obtained by the first kill of the bronze level, the first kill of the silver level, and the first transfer. Then, he focused on the phantom that was formed again. He saw the phantom slowly condense and form a blue creature. It had a lion''s head, antlers, tiger eyes, elk body, dragon scales, ox tail. Its four hooves were surrounded by blue water mist. The surface of its body had blue glows flowing, like ripples. It exuded a noble and inviolable aura. "This..." Jack couldn''t help but swallow and widened his eyes. Damn, the challenge difficulty is so high? [Water Qilin] (Immortal-level BOSS) ... Dark Cycle (Page 1/2) "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Please note that your level is temporarily raised to level 50. It will return to normal after the talent trial ends! Jack was not surprised by the system''s behavior of constantly raising the player''s level to reduce the actual difficulty. Compared to the terrifying growth of beast-like creatures, even if humans reach level 50, they are still inferior. After all, non-humanoid creatures do not have the concept of equipment. The higher the grade, the stronger the attribute growth. Players need to rely on equipment to stack attributes to be comparable. However, know yourself and know your enemy and you will never be defeated. To understand the gap, he still checked his own attributes first. [The Fallen ¡¤ Jack Shui] (Bronze Grade BOSS) Level: 50 Life: 25000 Attack: 600 Defense: 250 Reputation: 12000 Luck: 0 Unallocated Free Attribute Points: 5 Introduction:... ... A full 600 attack points! The improvement of the Art of Slaughter is still powerful. After all, in addition to the attack value, the Art of Slaughter also provides a percentage attack bonus and is destined not to be eliminated. Adding all the free attribute points to the attack, Jack''s strength increased further.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on. At the same time, the phantom of the Water Qilin was completely condensed. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Please kill the enemy within ten minutes. If you succeed in killing, the range of talent acquisition will be raised to S - Grade A. If you fail, it will be S - Grade B! Grade A! As long as he defeats the Water Qilin, the talent he can obtain will be at least Grade A. But the problem is... "Fairy-level BOSS. System, you really know how to play!" Jack''s expression was unprecedentedly solemn. Fairy-level! This is much higher than the Dark Gold level in the previous stage. During this period, it crossed at least three levels: Spirit-level, Earth-level, and Heaven-level! Although the system raised his level to 50, facing a level 1 fairy-level BOSS, his attributes were still at a disadvantage, not to mention the skills. He was completely crushed - [Water Qilin] (Fairy-level BOSS) Level: 1 Life: 100000 Attack: 680 Defense: 350 Skills: [Water Breath] [Cold Wave Sweeping] [Divine Auspiciousness] [Forbidden ¡¤ Ocean Domain] Introduction: An ultra-rare creature existing in the vast sea area. Ordinary people will not have the fortune to encounter it in their lifetime. As a branch of auspiciousness, it is born with perfect control over the water element. It is a°ÔÖ÷-level in its infancy and has the opportunity to step into the divine-level realm when it reaches maturity and become a top powerhouse in Tianheng Continent. Since it has become one of the levels of the talent trial, it is believed that there will also be some¸ÐÓ¦ in reality ... Jack was under great pressure. His attributes in all aspects were completely surpassed. He had no advantage at all. Moreover, the skills of the Water Qilin sounded outrageous just by their names. The last skill even had a "Forbidden" character. What does it mean? Did the level 1 Water Qilin already learn to cast forbidden spells? "Roar!" The Water Qilin roared. The shiny scales reflected fatal danger. A constantly rotating torrent appeared in the blood-filled mouth that was opened towards Jack and then gushed out, forming a water column. Seeing this, Jack, who was already well-prepared, would not blindly take it head-on. He quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the water column that was about to hit his chest. However, the Water Qilin did not give up. It turned its head to one side and the water column changed position and moved horizontally. "!!" Jack was startled. He decisively bent his waist and fell backward. Before he could do anything, the bone-chilling cold swept over. The wet ground quickly froze with frost. The cold invaded his body, causing Jack''s blood to freeze and flow unsmoothly in an instant. "Ding! ~" (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading) Dark Cycle (Page 2/2) System Prompt: The Water Qilin used the skill [Cold Wave Sweeping], reducing the speed and attack speed of all enemy units within a 30-meter radius centered on itself by 50% for ten seconds! Ten seconds?! Jack''s expression changed drastically. He wanted to move but was slow. The Water Qilin in the distance reacted quickly, took the opportunity to leap up, and stomped its front hooves hard on both sides of Jack''s shoulders, pressing him to the ground. -4555! Just a simple normal attack and Jack''s health points immediately lost nearly one-fifth! "Roar!!" It roared at Jack. The deafening sound made Jack''s eardrums rumble and extremely uncomfortable. In the next second, a torrent formed in its mouth. At such a close distance, it was confident that the enemy had no way to avoid it. Am I going to lose? Jack gritted his teeth and tried to break free. But his arms were firmly pressed and he could only watch as the torrent brewed in the Water Qilin''s mouth. What should I do? His brain worked rapidly, trying to get out of the dangerous situation. It''s true that he thought he performed well in the talent trial. If he was lucky, the talent selection range of S - B could still allow him to obtain Grade S. But... He was not willing to stop here!This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. Watching the torrent about to erupt, in a hurry, Jack suddenly thought of something. He gathered saliva in his mouth, concentrated it on the tip of his tongue, and spat it out with all his strength: "Ha... Ptooey!" The saliva burst out and accurately landed in the Water Qilin''s mouth, slowly sliding down its huge tongue. Water Qilin: "..." "Ha... Ptooey!" Just before the second wave of water element attack was about to hit, the Water Qilin immediately jumped backward, avoiding the opponent''s shameless interference. After spitting a few times on the ground, it glared angrily. Saved! Jack quickly got up and looked at the extremely furious Water Qilin, not giving in with his words: "Don''t think only you can use Water Breath. We humans can do the same. We are born with perfect control over the water element." "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Please note that the Water Qilin''s hatred value for you +1000! "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Because of your provocation, the Water Qilin is about to use the skill [Forbidden ¡¤ Ocean Domain]! "Roar!!" The Water Qilin roared towards the sky. Its whole body glowed with a dazzling blue light. Surging water waves appeared beneath it and gradually spread towards the surroundings. In almost a few seconds, it submerged Jack''s ankles. Seeing this, Jack''s eyebrows were filled with solemnity. Although temporarily out of danger, the answer to how to defeat the Water Qilin next was still unknown. "Gurgle..." However, just when Jack was on high alert, the blood in his body suddenly began to boil. A strange cold energy flowed from his chest into his limbs and bones. This is... Jack was overjoyed. The evil power within me is finally about to burst out uncontrollably! "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Congratulations on reaching level 50 and stimulating the potential of the Dark Swordsman in the battle. Comprehend the skill: [Dark Cycle] (Grade S)! As the only hidden occupation, the potential of the Dark Swordsman is beyond doubt. At the critical moment, it actually played a role again, helping Jack comprehend a new skill. "Must be powerful!" Before the Water Qilin launched the Ocean Domain, Jack quickly opened the skill panel to check the details - [Dark Cycle] (Grade S) Introduction: The Dark Swordsman walks on the edge of life and death. Not afraid of death but eager to win. He masters the special ability to squeeze every bit of strength from his body to defeat the opponent. Effect: Within five minutes, all attributes increase by 50%. Negative Effect: The level drops by 10 levels after use. Cooldown Time: Seven natural days ... Passing the Trial (Page 1/2) Strong! Jack''s eyes were wide open. Dark Cycle can be said to be a skill that harms the enemy a thousand while harming oneself eight hundred. Using a reduction of 10 levels as the price to exchange for a 50% increase in all attributes for five minutes. For ordinary players, they still need to carefully consider whether it''s worth it or not. But for him, this skill is a godly skill! After all, the level can be raised again. After joining the Dark Camp, he only has one life. Dying once is almost equivalent to ruining the account! Dark Cycle! There was no time to hesitate. Jack immediately used it. Suddenly, a black fog emerged from his body. The powerful and cold energy flowed from his chest into his limbs and bones, and his strength soared. "!!" Seeming to sense the strangeness of the enemy, a hint of shock appeared on Shui Qilin''s expression: "Such evil power. Who exactly are you?" It made a childish voice like a child. Speaking human language? Jack was slightly astonished and then replied: "If you admit defeat, I''ll tell you!" "Dream on." Shui Qilin shook its head and refused. "Then there''s nothing more to talk about." With the boost of Dark Cycle, his attributes surpassed Shui Qilin. But the duration was only five minutes. There was no time to waste.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Evil Trample! Jack jumped up suddenly. Before Shui Qilin could react, he had already stomped heavily on its head, causing a 0.5-second suppression.½ô½Ó×Å, he took the opportunity to spread his legs and ride on Shui Qilin''s neck, and Wild Slash was launched. -10807! -4481! -4975! -5555! -6589! ... After a series of consecutive attacks, the damage exceeded 30,000. Shui Qilin''s total health was only 100,000. It directly lost nearly one-third! "Evil Trample!" Shui Qilin spoke again, "You actually know the lost Evil Trample!" If it weren''t in the talent trial, it could easily see Jack''s skills and character panel. But in this space, although his strength was not inferior, his level was only 1. It was beyond the scope of the detection skill. "I not only know Evil Trample, but also Water Breath. Do you want to see it?" While attacking, Jack didn''t forget to verbally provoke. "You... Damn it!" Seeming to be poked at the sore spot by Jack, Shui Qilin was furious. It stomped its right hoof on the ground covered by seawater. The water surface within a hundred meters rose up and turned into a cuboid space. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Shui Qilin uses the skill [Forbidden ¡¤ Ocean Domain]. All enemy units within the domain will be attacked by increasingly powerful marine creatures. Duration: Three minutes! Marine creatures? Jack''s heartstrings tightened. His fist hit Shui Qilin''s head, trying to end the battle as soon as possible. "Splash!" Suddenly, a sea snake formed by water elements jumped out of the water. It opened its fangs and bit Jack''s calf, and then disappeared. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You are attacked by [Poisonous Sea Snake]. Lose 500 health points per second for ten seconds! Ten seconds is 5,000. It''s still within Jack''s tolerance range. However, before he could catch his breath, a frog-shaped water element jumped up and spat its tongue on Jack''s leg, taking away 3,096 damage! Jack ignored everything and attacked Shui Qilin with all his strength. His eyes were only on Shui Qilin''s health bar. 60%! 40%! "Get off me!" Shui Qilin kept jumping, trying to shake him off. Unfortunately, Jack''s legs were tightly clamped around its neck and wouldn''t let go even if he died. "Big brother, just die once." Jack punched with all his might and tried to verbally distract, "It''s not easy for me to get a better talent!" "The dignity of the Qilin cannot be blasphemed!" "You are an auspicious beast. Why are you so combative?" Jack scolded, "You should say, Human, as the auspicious beast admired by you, I won''t haggle with you and don''t want to be your enemy. I''ll let you pass this level. This is reasonable!" (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading) Passing the Trial (Page 2/2) "Human, how can I not haggle with you when you treat the auspicious beast admired by you like this?" "..." Since good communication couldn''t reduce the predicament he was facing at the moment, Jack stopped chatting nonsense. In fact, his kind persuasion was simply to distract Shui Qilin and prevent it from using other skills again. It''s fine with Water Breath. If there was another Cold Wave Sweeping, the consequences would be unimaginable. "Jia''er, stay calm. When dealing with the enemy, you can''t lose your sanity. Pay attention that the cooldown of some skills is over!" Suddenly, a voice full of majesty sounded. This is... Was there a native resident peeping at the talent trial? Jack felt a chill in his heart. For a moment, he felt a bit strange about the official "self-evolving worldview". Obviously, NPCs would do things according to their own will. That''s why such a senior spectator appeared. "In broad daylight, this person just watched me subdue Shui Qilin like this. He must not be a good thing. It''s estimated that he usually likes to do sneaky deeds." Jack shouted loudly, "Jia''er, let''s not listen to him." Jia''er should be Shui Qilin''s name. Just as fighting is close and scolding is love. He was someone so "close" to Shui Qilin. Calling Jia''er should be no problem.The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. Regrettably, Shui Qilin didn''t listen to Jack''s suggestion. A cold air emerged from its body. There was no doubt that it was the prelude to Cold Wave Sweeping. At the critical moment, Jack remained silent and jumped up at the right time, stepping on Shui Qilin''s head. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You used the skill [Evil Trample] and successfully interrupted Shui Qilin''s [Cold Wave Sweeping] and put the opponent in a 0.5-second suppression state! Interrupt! The plan failed, so he could only rely on the interruption effect of Evil Trample. In fact, in addition to wanting to prevent Shui Qilin from using Cold Wave Sweeping by delaying time, he was also waiting for the cooldown of Evil Trample. "Alas!" A sigh sounded. Then, Jack took the opportunity to attack desperately before the Ocean Domain completely erupted. During this period, he was attacked by marine creatures formed by water elements from time to time. 20%! 10%! Seeing that Shui Qilin only had a sliver of health left, Jack launched Wild Slash again: "Die!" "Ooh--" At the same time, a small water-blue whale jumped out of the water, carrying huge waves. But when it was about to approach Jack, it dissipated spontaneously and turned into water droplets and fell. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on meeting the conditions. The range of talent acquisition has been upgraded to S - A level! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on successfully defeating Shui Qilin and obtaining the reward: Free attribute points + 10! The phantom of Shui Qilin disappeared. The continuous ringing of two system bells relieved Jack. He gently let out a breath. "You are very good." There was a hint of emotion in that voice, "Unfortunately, you joined the wrong camp." "Do you think joining the Light Camp means having a heart towards the light?" Jack asked in reply. Light and darkness are just words. People''s hearts are complex. Good and evil are within a thought. How can justice and evil be clearly distinguished. "..." The owner of that voice seemed to fall silent. After a moment, he replied: "With your strength, we will meet sooner or later in the future." "I hope not as enemies." Jack nodded. After that, there was no response. He focused his attention back on the present. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on successfully passing all the talent trials and entering the talent selection stage. Please carefully select a talent that suits you! (Note: Talents cannot grow, cannot be changed, will not be forgotten, and will accompany you for life) ... Domineering (Page 1/2) Entering the talent selection stage? Jack frowned, somewhat unwilling: "There''s no SS-level talent trial?" It was true that he knew that even if there was another talent trial, it would be very difficult for him to win. But before challenging, how could he give up easily? However, the system didn''t answer. "Swish!" In the next second, Jack''s vision shifted and he appeared in a space filled with all kinds of colorful energy balls floating. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please note that you have sixty minutes to select a talent. After the time is over, you will return to the Tianheng Continent. Are these the talents? Jack curiously reached out to touch a yellow energy ball, and immediately the talent contained within the energy ball appeared before his eyes - [As Solid as a Rock] (Passive) (A-level): The final defense is increased by 20%! "Even A-level talents are this strong?" Jack gasped. This wasn''t just defense, but final defense, which was an independent calculation area of defense. Anyone who could obtain this talent would definitely be so tough that it would be difficult for ordinary people to move! However, this talent wasn''t Jack''s goal. Offense is the best defense! Having high enough defense could only protect oneself, but couldn''t stop others from dealing with the people around him. If the output teammates died and he faced a group attack, no matter how tough he was, he would eventually fall.This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. In contrast, he liked extreme damage. Besides, the attack growth of the Dark Swordsman was as high as six stars. Not choosing a talent that was beneficial to attack would simply be a waste. Although an hour seemed quite sufficient, there were too many energy balls in this space. Even if Jack just glanced at each energy ball, he was still dazzled - [Unbreakable] (Passive) (A-level): The final health is increased by 30%! [Fearless of Water and Fire] (Passive) (A-level): Resistance to water and fire elements is each increased by 50%! [Tear] (Passive) (A-level): Extra fixed damage equal to 20% of the damage dealt to the enemy unit per second for ten seconds. Up to three layers can be stacked! ... A-level! A-level! All are A-level! "Could you give me an S-level?!" Jack cursed while looking at one energy ball after another. He didn''t see a talent he liked. In the selection range of S - A level talents, almost all were A-level. If it was S - D level, Jack couldn''t even imagine how miserable it would be if his luck was bad. Ten minutes... twenty minutes... Time passed little by little. Jack didn''t dare to slack off at all. The more to the back, the more he understood that one hour was simply not enough. Almost as long as it wasn''t an S-level talent, he directly ignored it. "Huh?" Finally, after quickly skipping for nearly thirty minutes, his eyes lit up. In a blue energy ball, he saw a precious S-level talent - [Immortality] (Passive) (S-level): During battle, restore 0.2% of health per second. After leaving the battle, restore 0.8% of health per second! A quite outrageous talent! If Immortality was combined with the Death Force, the recovery ability would be abnormal. Even during the battle, it could restore 0.3% of health per second. If out of the battle, it could return to full health in just over seventy seconds. And he belonged to the Dark Faction. With the title bonus, his health was already exaggerated, which could maximize the effect of Immortality. However... It still wasn''t an attack-type talent. "Keep it first. If there''s still no suitable talent when the time is up, I''ll choose Immortality." Jack made a decision. He had to admit that the SS-level talent Sword Heart that Daniel mentioned had raised his expectations too high. Then, he held the energy ball with the Immortality talent in one hand and continued to check other talents. If it wasn''t S-level, he directly skipped it. Forty minutes... fifty minutes... "Got it!" (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading) Domineering (Page 2/2) With only ten minutes left, Jack finally saw a super powerful S-level talent and couldn''t help but tremble with excitement: "It''s you for sure!" [Frenzy] (Passive) (S-level): Defense is reduced by 10%, final attack is increased by 40%! Frenzy had a negative effect, making oneself more vulnerable. But the increase in attack was extremely powerful! This skill became more powerful in the later stages. After all, in the early stage, the independent multiplication area of "final attack" calculation couldn''t exert too much effect, which was not much different from a 40% increase in attack. But in the future, when the percentage of attack bonus increased, the power of Frenzy would increase significantly. Soon, the last ten minutes passed. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Do you choose [Frenzy] as your own talent? (Please note that once chosen, the talent cannot grow, cannot be changed, and will accompany you for life) "Yes!" Jack decisively gave up Immortality and chose Frenzy. It took him a full hour to select. Among the talents he encountered, only two belonged to the S-level. The rarity could be imagined. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on obtaining the exclusive talent [Frenzy]! "It''s over..." Jack let out a sigh of relief. He was relatively satisfied with the effect of the Frenzy talent.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. The only regret was that he didn''t see the even more ferocious SS-level talent. However, just when he was about to log off to solve lunch after returning to the original position in the game, another system bell came belatedly - "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on becoming the second player in the whole server to obtain the talent and obtain the reward: Talent grade + 1, fame + 1,000, and free attribute points + 5! "..." The system bell came very suddenly, causing him to be in a´ôÖÍ state for up to five seconds. Although he always thought the system bell was pleasant, at this moment, he felt it was unprecedentedly beautiful. To describe it in four words, it was like the sounds of nature! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Your talent skill [Frenzy] (S-level) has advanced to [Domineering] (SS-level)! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on obtaining the SS-level talent skill. Luck + 1! "I didn''t expect this game to be so generous to the second player who obtained the talent!" Jack was ecstatic. He overlooked one thing. In fact, not all additional rewards in the game could only be obtained by the first one. The second, third... up to the tenth, all could get certain rewards, but the rewards decreased in order. Take the first kill of the BOSS as an example. After the first kill of the bronze-level BOSS, in fact, the player from the Da Han District, as the second one to kill, was also announced throughout the server. There must be system rewards as well. "Swish!" The scene changed and Jack returned to the cave where the Demonized Rat King took him. The surrounding Demonized Wild Rats sensed Jack''s aura and immediately fled in all directions, not daring to stay. Not bothering to care about them, Jack opened the skill panel without hesitation and found that Dark Cycle turned gray and couldn''t be used anymore. But at the top of all skills, the talent skill was shining golden - [Domineering] (Passive) (SS-level): The final attack is increased by 50%! The effect of the Domineering talent was simple and straightforward. Compared to the S-level Frenzy, there was no weakening of defense, and the final attack was additionally increased by 10%. It was not inferior to the Sword Heart talent of the native who was known as the Sword God in the Light Faction. Even, compared to Sword Heart, Domineering was even stronger! After all, in the case of not being able to break the defense significantly, the 50% increase in the final attack provided by Domineering was much more ferocious than the 80% increase in the final damage of Sword Heart! After looking at the talent skill, Jack fell silent. Until about ten seconds later, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "System, I love you!" ... Just Four Stars (Page 1/2) After obtaining the talent, Jack didn''t check the equipment dropped by the Demonized Rat King but chose to log out. He had already killed nearly two hundred Demonized Wild Rats. After that, he also went through the talent trial. Now it''s already two o''clock in the afternoon and he is extremely hungry. ... Taking off the game helmet, Jack took out his mobile phone and ordered a takeaway for himself. Then he entered the official website forum to check the content related to the game. "The effect of the talent skill is not bad!" On the top of the first page of the forum, Jack saw the specific content of the talent obtained by the player from theÃÀÈð region. [Swiftness] (Passive) (Grade A): +30% final movement speed! Obviously, the original Grade B talent Agility advanced to Swiftness with the bonus of the system. The effect was greatly enhanced. The player named God''s Forbidden Zone was a thief by profession. Swiftness was undoubtedly a great boost for him. "Unfortunately, compared to my dominance, the gap is still too big." Jack couldn''t help laughing out loud. The effect brought by attack completely outperforms movement speed! Unless the opponent''s movement speed is so fast that he can''t even touch them. But is that possible? You know, he also has a five-star growth in speed, not inferior to thieves! Even in the future, if this person really has an extremely fast speed with the support of other skills, he won''t have no growth at all. Thieves are originally fragile. Maybe he can even forcefully kill the opponent with area attacks. Soon, the delivery person delivered the food. Jack quickly finished his lunch and immediately put on the game helmet again.This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it He hasn''t checked the equipment dropped by the Demonized Rat King and hasn''t tried the effect of Domination. He can''t wait anymore. ... "Swish!" Appearing in the cave again, Jack opened the bag and focused on the three pieces of equipment lying quietly in the bag - [Black Crystal Leg Guards] (Silver Grade) Defense: 20 - 25 Life: 1000 Effect: +8% Defense Required Level: 22 Introduction: Leg guards forged from hard black crystal. Ordinary swords and spears simply can''t break them. In the third-level towns, only the most elite soldiers have the opportunity to wear them [Rat King Sword] (Silver Grade) Attack: 60 - 80 Effect: +10% Attack Additional Effect: +10% Attack Speed Required Level: 25 Introduction: A sharp weapon obtained by the Demonized Rat King from the battlefield. It has always been his most precious collection. For this, he racked his brains and specially gave the sharp weapon a very nice name, Rat King Sword [Black Crystal Helmet] (Silver Grade) Defense: 18 - 22 Life: 800 Effect: +8% Life Required Level: 22 Introduction: A helmet forged from hard black crystal. Wearing it, maybe it can give you a few more chances of survival on the battlefield filled with arrows like rain ... The Rat King was very generous and dropped three pieces of silver-grade equipment and fifty silver coins for him! "Unfortunately, the Rat King Sword requires level 25 to equip." Jack looked at the Rat King Sword with a chilling light and felt a little regretful. The level of the Demonized Rat King was originally beyond his detection range. It was reasonable that the dropped equipment required a higher level. Jack looked at the experience bar, which had reached 73% of level 19. It wasn''t far from level 20. Immediately, he held the Bison Sword and went to look for trouble with the Demonized Wild Rats. Although he had a talent trial in the middle, his task was not completed and he still had to stay in this area. However, with the bonus of Domination, his monster-killing speed was faster than imagined. Evil Trample! Because the Demonized Wild Rats would run when they saw him, Jack usually started with Evil Trample. -11487! The damage of over ten thousand popped up and the health points of the Demonized Wild Rats immediately lost nearly one-third. Then, Wild Slash followed. The Demonized Wild Rats were left with only a sliver of health. With one more sword strike, it was easily dealt with. "An attack close to 750 is really not a joke." Jack beamed with joy, feeling that leveling up was a kind of enjoyment. It could be said that this damage was definitely not something that a player who hadn''t even reached level 20 should be able to deal. (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading.) Just Four Stars (Page 2/2) "Hey?" While leveling up, Jack suddenly noticed that there was still a system announcement that had not been confirmed - "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Do you want to inform all adventurers who have descended on Tianheng Continent of your brilliant record? (Note: After the server-wide announcement, you can obtain 5000 reputation points) "Yes!" Jack chose to confirm without hesitation. His name was already famous enough. There were probably countless players in the entire game who wanted to kill him for rewards. Naturally, there was no need to have any scruples. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Congratulations to the Eastern Region player [Jack Shui] for obtaining the Grade S talent [Frenzy]. As the second adventurer to obtain the talent, you receive an additional reward: Talent Grade +1, Reputation +1000, Free Attribute Points +5! "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Congratulations to the Eastern Region player [Jack Shui] for obtaining the Grade S talent [Frenzy]. As the second adventurer to obtain the talent, you receive an additional reward: Talent Grade +1, Reputation +1000, Free Attribute Points +5! ... The entire announcement was broadcasted throughout the server three times! The waves it caused were even greater than the player who obtained the talent first! After all, any normal person could see how big the gap was between Grade S talents and Grade B talents. "Didi!" Long Teng Tianxia sent a message: "Congratulations."The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. "Thank you." Jack replied politely. "If I hadn''t met you before, I would have suspected that you were an insider arranged by the game manufacturer." Long Teng Wanli sent a surprised expression of a runny nose being sucked back. "Good luck." "Don''t be so modest. If there are any special ways to obtain high-level talents in the talent trial, be sure to tell me. The price is fair!" Jack thought for a while and replied: "There is no special way. The only thing you can rely on is skills and the growth stars of the occupation." He didn''t hide it. This wasn''t a secret that only he could know. It would definitely become widely known in the future. But even if you knew the way, it was almost impossible to obtain a Grade SS talent. First, obtaining a powerful enough skill and improving the probability of obtaining the talent level through the passive attribute bonus was extremely difficult for beginners. Second, even if players don''t increase their levels and collect a large number of skill books, they also need to have the growth stars of the hidden occupation. And hidden occupations were hard to come by. Third, even if a rich player accomplished both of these, they would need to spend a lot of time collecting and the money spent would also be unimaginably large. The Grade +1 of the top few rewards had already been taken. At most, it was Grade S. "Didi!" Soon, the system prompt showed that the balance in the bank card had increased by one hundred thousand yuan. "..." Jack stared at the message for a long while and sighed in admiration: "Really rich!" "Thank you. I already knew about improving the overall strength through skill passives. But I really didn''t notice the growth stars. It seems that your growth stars must be very high." Long Teng Tianxia sent a message. "Not high." Jack quickly said modestly: "Just all four stars." It would be too annoying to say all five stars, not to mention the six-star attack. He felt that he was rather low-key. "Ding! ~" Long Teng Wanli announced: Dear players of "Eternity", hello. I, Long Teng Wanli, want to exchange a lot of money for a hidden occupation. I am willing to give the hidden occupation-related job transfer tasks to my friends. The price starts at seven figures and the unique hidden occupation starts at eight figures. The price is negotiable! "This..." Jack was stunned. The system announcement could indeed be used by players and the range was the entire national region. But it cost ten gold coins each time. Now the recharge system hasn''t been opened yet. One gold coin has been hyped up to tens of thousands of yuan. With this shout from Long Teng Wanli, it cost hundreds of thousands. I just said just all four stars. Is it necessary? ... Long Teng Wanli, who was doing a collection task in a place called White Crane Town, looked at the message sent by Jack and twitched the corner of his mouth: "It seems that the growth stars of the unique hidden occupation are indeed very exaggerated..." All four stars, and just? Is this guy shameless? ... Golden Equipment (Page 1/2) "Big brother, do you know the growth star level of the only hidden profession?" Beside Longteng Wanli, there was also a burly man with the name Longzheng Huddou on his head. Longteng Wanli spent a lot of money to post the system announcement. Of course, he saw it and thus asked this question. You should know that there are very few hidden professions and even rarer only hidden professions in the entire game. And most of those players keep it to themselves and are unwilling to show the growth star level. Only a few hidden professions have been exposed occasionally. As for the only hidden profession, there is no news so far. "YiJack Shui himself said all four stars." Longteng Wanli didn''t hide it from his brother. "Whoa!" Longzheng Huddou took a deep breath and feltÄÑÒÔÖÃÐÅ: "All four stars?!" "The growth star level is extremely important. In the future, during the second and third class changes, the star level will definitely change and the gap will widen even more." Longteng Wanli said solemnly, "One step ahead, every step ahead. I won''t level up for now. I must get a hidden profession first, preferably the only hidden profession!" "OK. I''ll ask the brothers in the guild to help you collect information too." "Yeah." ... "Ding! ~" System prompt: Your task [Clear the Wild Mice] has been completed. You can go to your teacher to claim the reward! Leaving the cave, Jack safely grinded for more than an hour and finally killed 500 Demonic Wild Mice.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. If the wild mice surrounded him, his efficiency would be more than ten times faster. But after experiencing the advantage of "Evil Aura" before, he wouldn''t dislike the drawback it brought. At the same time, his level also reached level 20. Equipping the Huangyan Armor and the Black Iron Bracer, his defense also got a quite good improvement. Returning to the Dark City, Jack found Daniel in the city lord''s mansion and said: "Teacher, I have successfully completed the task and by the way, I also cleared the source of the Demonic Wild Mice." "Oh?" Daniel, who was concocting potions in the hall, turned around and saw Jack. He was stunned: "You... Your attack..." He could see Jack''s character panel. When Jack left, his attack was only over 200. Now, after only a few levels up, his attack reached 750. It really made him feel incredible. "Had some opportunities." Jack didn''t choose to tell the reason. It''s true that Daniel swore to the God of Oath to cultivate him well. But it''s better to be safe than sorry. He felt it was better to be low-key. "Um..." Daniel thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It seems you got a quite good talent. Since you don''t want to say, I won''t ask. Say, what equipment do you want to get?" What do I want? Hearing this sentence from Daniel, Jack was a little stunned: "Can I choose by myself?" Actively choosing the task reward was beyond his expectation. "Sure!" Daniel laughed heartily: "I said that I would cultivate you with the resources of the Dark City. Could I lie to you!" "Thank you, teacher." Jack felt warm in his heart. Looking at his own equipment, he took out the Rat King Sword and said: "Teacher, actually, I got a pretty good weapon, but the required level is relatively high. Is there a way to lower the required level of the equipment?" The Rat King Sword required level 25. That meant before level 25, he still had to use the Bison Sword he got from the first kill in the newbie village. It was really a bit weak. However, you can''t force everything. He just asked with a try-it-out idea. If it didn''t work, he could choose to ask Daniel to reward him with a suitable weapon. Daniel took the Rat King Sword and looked at it for a while, nodding: "This equipment is quite good for you at present." After saying that, he returned the weapon to Jack. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on completing the task [Clear the Wild Mice] and obtaining the rewards: Experience + 150,000, C-level item [Blessing Orb]! (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading) Golden Equipment (Page 2/2) "Swish!" Golden light rushed up and Jack''s level reached level 21! Blessing Orb? Jack opened his bag and immediately saw a cyan bead - [Blessing Orb] (C-level) Introduction: This is not a blessing from heaven, but the painstaking effort of the blacksmith Effect: Reduce the wearing level of silver-level and below equipment by 10 levels Good thing! Jack said happily: "Thank you, teacher!" "Try it." Daniel patted Jack on the shoulder. Without hesitation, Jack used the Blessing Orb. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please choose the equipment whose wearing level you need to reduce! "Rat King Sword!" "Ding! ~" System prompt: The wearing level of the Rat King Sword is reduced by 10 levels! When the Blessing Orb disappeared, Jack checked the equipment attribute again. The required level of the Rat King Sword indeed became level 15 and could be equipped! Since that''s the case... Jack decisively took out the God Blessing Orb and asked: "Teacher, I decided to use the God Blessing Orb to upgrade the Rat King Sword. Do you think it''s appropriate?"The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. The God Blessing Orb could unconditionally upgrade the equipment to the golden level. The earlier this benefit was used, the greater the advantage. "... Where did you get the God Blessing Orb?" Daniel''s expression was surprised. "This thing is much more valuable than the Blessing Orb." "Good luck." Jack smiled awkwardly. He didn''t know how to explain either. Could he say it was given by the system? This might not be appropriate. "Well, I think it''s good." Daniel didn''t ask further but instead answered Jack''s question, "There are different levels of God Blessing Orbs. The one in your hand is of relatively low quality. Using it to upgrade the Rat King Sword is definitely not a loss." "OK. Then I''ll use it." Jack nodded and used the God Blessing Orb with an expectant mood. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please choose the equipment whose grade you need to upgrade! (Note: Only silver-level and below equipment) "Rat King Sword!" "Swish!" Suddenly, the God Blessing Orb in Jack''s left hand emitted a dazzling dark blue glow. Then it turned into a smoke-like energy substance and slowly flowed into the Rat King Sword held in his right hand. "Buzz buzz buzz..." The Rat King Sword vibrated slightly, showing its sharpness. The silver hilt turned golden and a series of obscure and profound patterns loomed on both sides of the blade. The whole process lasted for two minutes. When the God Blessing Orb completely disappeared, the Rat King Sword finally completed the advancement. Just by holding it, Jack felt a powerful force flowing into his right arm and his strength greatly increased. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Your weapon [Rat King Sword] has advanced to [Cold Cloud Sword] under the effect of the God Blessing Orb! [Cold Cloud Sword] (Golden-level) Attack: 150 - 180 Effect: Attack + 15%, Attack speed + 20% Extra effect: Attack Vamp + 5% Required level: 20 Introduction: The Rat King Sword with the help of the God Blessing Orb has been upgraded and become a sharper divine weapon ... Holding the Cold Cloud Sword, Jack waved it in the air a few times and his heart was excited: "Gold is indeed a level higher than silver!" The upper limit of the Rat King Sword''s attack was only 80 points, while the Cold Cloud Sword was as high as 180, more than doubling. You should know that the attack given by the weapon is the base attack. Coupled with the percentage attack increase and the super powerful boost of the talent, it''s not simply 180 points. However, just when he was about to check the attributes of the equipment, another system ringtone suddenly sounded - "Ding! ~" System prompt: Your strength has entered a new level and reached the level of a silver-level boss. Your title has changed! ... Dark Control (Page 1/2) Silver-level BOSS standard! Jack looked at the system prompt. Besides being surprised, he felt extremely interested. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Your title [The Fallen] has advanced to [Dark Control], and the attributes have changed! Opening the character panel again, Jack looked at the various values, feeling refreshed and as if he had been reborn and his strength had increased by a large margin - [Dark Control ¡¤ Yijianghanshui] (Silver-level BOSS) Level: 21 Health: 26,250 Attack: 1,157 - 1,220 Defense: 164 - 174 Fame: 18,000 Luck: 1 Introduction: As a traitor of the Light Faction, Yijianghanshui gradually grew up with the help of his mentor Daniel. Standing out, he is ambitious and attempts to control the darkness. Brave adventurers, kill him. He will bring you amazing benefits! ... "This attack, I even suspect I could kill myself in one hit." Jack marveled. It could only be said that Domineering was really too powerful. The 50% increase in the final attack, combined with the 200 attack points of the powerful Art of Slaughter in the early stage, as well as the golden equipment Cold Cloud Sword, had completely unbalanced his blood, attack, and defense!This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. Of course, it also had something to do with him adding all the free attribute points given by the system to attack. Then, Jack looked at the new title Dark Control, and couldn''t help but grin: "Sure enough, it makes sense that the Protection of the Ancient Demon Gods can be comparable to infinite resurrection!" [Dark Control]: The final health is increased by 150% In the early stage, the Protection of the Ancient Demon Gods hadn''t shown its powerfulness yet. When the values expanded to a certain extent, it would become more and more powerful. Daniel, who was also observing Jack''s attribute panel, had a strange expression: "Kid, it seems that the talent skill you obtained is not simple!" "It''s all thanks to your teachings." Jack flattered. "Um." Daniel nodded and deeply agreed: "This is true." Jack: "..." "Now, your attack is already very powerful, but your defense is indeed too weak." Before Jack could complain, Daniel continued, "Your armor is still too poor. You need to do more things for the Gloomy City." "Then what should I do next?" Jack knew that Daniel was definitely going to issue a quest. "Recently, there have often been sneaky adventurers near the Gloomy City. I don''t know what their purpose is. But since they belong to the Light Faction, they can''t be allowed to go back alive easily." Daniel said solemnly, "You go and kill them to make contributions to the Gloomy City." "Ding! ~" System prompt: Do you accept the quest [Clear the Adventurers] (Difficulty: B)! "Yes!" Jack agreed. He originally thought that Daniel would ask him to deal with other monsters. He didn''t expect it to be players. But he was happy to do so. Killing players was good. The experience came quickly! Although it was relatively dangerous, the wanted of the Light Faction was probably not going to be canceled. He would have to face it sooner or later. Soon, the system prompted him to accept the quest. [Clear the Adventurers] (Difficulty: B) Introduction: Since you joined the Dark Faction, the adventurers from the same world as you are enemies. Killing them is a proof of your loyalty to the Dark Faction and you will also receive rich rewards Quest Requirements: Kill 500 adventurers Quest Reward:??? "Mentor, can you give me some potions?" Jack asked. Potions could save his life. The healing potions given by Daniel had been almost used up. He had to find a way to get some more. "Before, as part of the quest reward, I could give them to you for free. Now if you want potions, you still need to trade." Daniel shook his head, "But as your mentor, I can sell you some at a 30% discount!" (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading) Dark Control (Page 2/2) "Thank you, Mentor." While Jack thanked, a panel popped up in front of him - [Healing Potion] Introduction: Precious medicine with a price that ordinary people simply can''t afford Effect: Restore 500 health points per second within 10 seconds after taking Cooldown: 30 seconds Price: 35 silver coins [Life Potion] Introduction: Maybe at the brink of life and death, it can rely on luck to survive Effect: Restore 1,000 health points per second within 10 seconds after taking Cooldown: 30 seconds Price: 70 silver coins ... So expensive! Jack was stunned. Even at a 30% discount, the Life Potion still cost 70 silver coins. The original price was as high as 1 gold coin! This wasn''t selling medicine. It was simply robbery! Opening the backpack, Jack saw that he had saved up to just over five gold coins so far. Biting the bullet, he said: "Five bottles of Life Potion and four bottles of Healing Potion!" The effects of different potions couldn''t be stacked. Therefore, he preferred the Life Potion. Although the price was twice as high, the recovery effect was also twice as strong. There was no such thing as a loss.The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there. ... After obtaining the quest and purchasing the potions, Jack left the City Lord''s Mansion and was ready to look for the traces of players near the Gloomy City. As for Daniel, he was once again obsessed with researching potions. Walking out of the city gate, he wandered around, waiting for players to discover his location. Suddenly, he felt the surroundings darken and fall into shadow. In the distance, it was sunny. Above him, it seemed that something was blocking the sun. Looking up, Jack''s pupils contracted sharply and saw a silver dragon flying low and passing by. "Roar --" The deafening dragon roar echoed across the wilderness. All the Skeleton Soldiers in the Gloomy City prostrated under the great dragon''s might. The silver dragon was powerful. Its huge body blocked out the sky and the sun, but its speed was as fast as an arrow. It was almost gone in the instant Jack noticed it, as if it didn''t want to pay more attention to the ants beneath it. "Huh?" On the top of the dragon''s head, a slender silver-haired man frowned slightly. "Sir, what''s wrong?" The silver dragon noticed the change in the man''s expression and couldn''t help but ask. The silver-haired man shook his head: "Nothing. Just now I felt an extremely evil aura disappearing in an instant. But those powerful Ancient Demon Gods shouldn''t appear here usually. Maybe it was just an illusion." "Do you want to go back and take a look?" "The task is important." The silver-haired man shook his head. "If it was really an Ancient Demon God, even if I could defeat it, it would be difficult to stop them from leaving. There''s no need to waste time." "Okay." ... It took a long time for Jack to come to his senses and smacked his lips: "If I could ride this dragon, it would be very cool." How could any passionate man not yearn to become a powerful dragon knight! Besides, in almost all games, the dragon would be an extremely top-level mount. Only in the late stage of the game could players have the opportunity to ride the dragon and fly. "Sasha..." Suddenly, Jack heard a slight footstep beside him. Turning his gaze, he saw a Rogue player quietly following him. [Stealing Love Expert] (Apprentice Rogue) "Oh no. The distance is too close. I''ve been discovered!" That player seemed to be using the communication function and immediately changed his expression greatly. Then he noticed something and exclaimed, "My God, Yijianghanshui he... he..." The companion on the other end of the call quickly asked: "What about him?" "He has actually become a silver-level BOSS!" Stealing Love Expert was stunned. Aren''t players playing as adventurers? How could they become a BOSS? ... Triggering the Main Quest (Page 1/2) Looking at the shocked player, Jack was as clear as a mirror in his heart. He knew that the other party couldn''t understand his BOSS identity and couldn''t help secretly laughing. What kind of dialogue should be chosen? Jack''s mind was turning and he had some mischievous thoughts. He decided to use a special opening line: "Stupid adventurer, why are you following me? What''s your purpose?" Stealing_Expert: "..." Stupid adventurer? Everyone is a player. There''s no need to be so "estranged", right? Or... Is this Jack Shui actually an NPC, not a player? It''s just that the name is a bit like a player? No way. If it''s an NPC, there''s no reason to get the first kill reward. Moreover, the video of him killing thousands of players in the novice village went viral on the official website. How could he be an NPC? "Jack Shui, stop pretending?!" Stealing_Expert, who was almost led astray, twitched the corner of his mouth: "The rewards you can get by killing you will make any player jealous. Don''t you think everyone will talk about morality and justice with you in the game?" "Just come. If you take one step away from here, I''ll be your father!" Jack was not afraid at all. With the raising and lowering of his sword, he easily took the other party''s life. -11998! The damage of over ten thousand popped up. The sudden insta-kill made the other party die unexpectedly in astonishment. ... "Swish!"This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. Returning to the resurrection point again, Stealing_Expert was stunned: "It''s still the early stage of the game. How can someone deal tens of thousands of damage?" He opened the system panel to check and the conclusion he got was even hard for himself to believe. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: You were attacked by the Silver Grade BOSS [Dark Control ¡¤ Jack Shui] with a normal attack and lost 11998 health points! "Ding! ~" System Prompt: You have died and will be reborn at the nearest resurrection point in ten seconds! "Normal attack. Was that just a normal attack?" Stealing_Expert was stunned and rubbed his eyes hard to confirm that he wasn''t wrong. He thought that the other party''s sword strike was at least a powerful skill. "Didi!" Soon, a message came in the group: "Send the coordinates of the other party!" "OK." Stealing_Expert did as told and then hesitated for a moment and said: "Everyone be very careful. Jack Shui''s attack might be over a thousand." Because the level gap was too large, almost all the attributes on the other party''s panel were question marks. So, he could only guess the other party''s attack power based on the damage. "Over a thousand. How is that possible?!" "The highest attack in our guild is only 176 points. Even if Jack Shui has a divine weapon in his hand, it''s impossible for his attack to be over a thousand at the current level, right?" "This news leaked. Many guilds are organizing people. Don''t say he has become a Silver Grade BOSS. Even if he''s Gold Grade, we will still kill him!" ... After dealing with the other party, Jack decisively turned and left. Stay in the same place waiting for the other party to come and cause trouble? That would be a bit too stupid. Even if he was confident of being able to fight against a thousand, he wasn''t so arrogant as to face the enemy head-on with his current strength. After all, it was different from the time in the novice village. Now his head was of great value. Once it was known that he was waiting somewhere, countless players would flock to him and be willing to spend all their savings just to kill him and exchange for the unique hidden occupation. You know, the popularity of "Eternity" was unimaginable. It was promoted everywhere on the streets and alleys. Even for some unknown reason, the country was promoting it. As a world-class game that opened servers simultaneously around the world, the number of players was conservatively estimated to be over a billion and the popularity was still constantly increasing. With so many players, did he think there wasn''t a single lucky one who got an opportunity? Was that possible? Although he didn''t think all the natives were as stupid as Brandy and would give the forbidden curse scroll to the adventurers, he was afraid that there might be one in case. If there really was an item like the forbidden curse scroll and he chose to confront it head-on, he would undoubtedly die. (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading.) Triggering the Main Quest (Page 2/2) More than ten minutes later... Dust rose in the distant plain. Countless players swarmed over, standing in a black mass, with great pressure. "So many people have come!" In a hidden grass, Jack looked at the huge group of player organizations rushing over in the distance. His eyes narrowed and he tightened the Cold Cloud Sword in his hand. To be honest, as long as he wasn''t too presumptuous, it was extremely difficult for a group of adventurers who hadn''t even passed the talent trial to defeat him. "Where is the person?" Coming to the original position of Jack Shui, a player named Blade Storm had a sullen expression. "Probably ran away." Stealing_Expert, who died once, came forward and said, "He killed me here more than ten minutes ago." "Search separately." Blade Storm said in a deep voice: "The growth stars of the unique hidden occupation in ''Eternity'' are unimaginable. This time, we must capture Jack Shui no matter what!" " Yes!" ... Soon, all the players of the guild spread out and searched for Jack Shui''s trace near the Dark City. "Here!" In just a few minutes, a player reported the news: "Me and a few brothers were insta-killed by him. The coordinate is 7847.548!" "Brothers, follow me and charge!" Blade Storm raised his arm and shouted. Hundreds of brothers around all followed. But when they reached the target location, they found nothing.Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. "He''s here. The coordinate is..." Just as they arrived, a message came in the group again, "His attack is too high. Every sword strike is over ten thousand damage!" Blade Storm''s forehead veins bulged and he immediately understood the other party''s plan: "Damn it. Playing hide-and-seek with me?" It seemed that considering the huge number of players, the map of "Eternity" was designed to be very large. Just the area near the Dark City was enough to accommodate tens of thousands of players. But even though the game had been open for four or five days, the vast majority of players were still in the novice village. It was simply impractical to organize tens of thousands of players to besiege one player. "Brothers, he changed position again. The coordinate is..." "Damn, how is it possible for a player to deal over ten thousand damage in the early stage? Monsters only have tens of thousands of health points. Wouldn''t he kill them in two strikes?" "Report. This guy must be using cheats!" ... Messages about Jack Shui''s trace kept coming in the group. Blade Storm''s face was livid and he gritted his teeth: "So sinister. Brothers, let''s disperse. We lost this time." In order to deal with Jack Shui, he specially spent a lot of money to purchase special items. He was confident that he could trap the other party for up to ten minutes and greatly weaken the attributes. But the other party was elusive and only targeted the isolated ones. Before his items could be used, the guild brothers had already suffered heavy losses. The cost was too high and it was not certain to capture Jack Shui. He didn''t dare to act rashly. ... "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Congratulations on reaching level 22! After cutting down an archer player, along with the golden light rising, Jack leveled up. "Killing players to level up is really fast!" Jack opened the quest panel and found that the requirement of killing 500 adventurers had already been met. However, at this time, the leader of the other party seemed to have also reacted and commanded all the brothers to return to the city. He also had to give up the pursuit. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Please note that due to the death of hundreds of adventurers near the Dark City, it has attracted the attention of the high-level of the Light Faction. They have decided to start the plan in advance and recapture their City of Heaven''s Light one week later! "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Please note that due to the death of hundreds of adventurers near the Dark City, it has attracted the attention of the high-level of the Light Faction. They have decided to start the plan in advance and recapture their City of Heaven''s Light one week later! ... The important system announcement was broadcasted three times in a row! "Whoosh!" Jack couldn''t help taking a deep breath: "Is this going to be a siege battle?!" ... Ghost Marsh (Page 1/2) Siege battle! This is undoubtedly the first large-scale event held in the game! Although Jack expected that such a day would come sooner or later, he never thought that the siege battle would start so suddenly, without giving him enough time to grow. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You have obtained the main quest [Defend the Dark City] (Difficulty: SS)! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please note that the Light Camp is about to organize people to attack the Dark City in a week! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please note that you will be the third wave of defending BOSS to face the attacking army of the Light Camp. If you are not present, your level will be reduced by 10 and all attributes will be permanently reduced by 1,000! However, before he could digest the information just announced, three system ringtones rang in his ears one after another. Jack: "..." The siege battle is fine. But I actually have to participate in it and become one of the defending BOSSes?! "This is a big deal this time." Jack''s expression was unprecedentedly solemn. Under normal circumstances, the large-scale event must end with the victory of the Light Camp. Currently, even if he wanted to turn the tide, he didn''t have enough ability. Moreover...The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. The Dark City is a first-level main city. The Light Camp is very likely to send extremely powerful NPCs! Without hesitation, he turned around and returned to the Dark City. He quickly entered the city lord''s mansion and found his teacher to see how he would handle it. "I roughly understand the situation." Daniel''s face was gloomy. He held a pale bone-like staff in his hand. "I didn''t expect that the order of Tianheng Continent would include you..." Jack was stunned and speechless for a moment. He originally wanted to ask Daniel if there was a way to resist the attack of the Light Camp in a week. But Daniel directly said something that almost made him confused. The order of Tianheng Continent would include you... Goodness, is this something an NPC in the game should say? This has openly revealed the rules of the game! Looking at Daniel''s undisguised worried expression, Jack felt for a moment as if he was not in the game but in a wonderful and strange world. "Disciple, don''t worry. I won''t let anything happen to you." Daniel patted Jack on the shoulder and comforted him. "At the critical moment, I will rescue you. Once you are out of the rule restrictions, I will immediately use the teleportation array to send you away." "What about... What about you?" Jack''s heart warmed and asked. To be honest, he never thought that Daniel would treat him like this. After all, their master-disciple relationship was the result of mutual compromise. Logically, Daniel should be eager for his cheap disciple to die quickly. Daniel shook his head and said seriously: "I''m an Undead Mage and not afraid of death. Moreover... My task has been completed. Death is instead a relief." "Task?" Jack was puzzled. It sounded like this seemed to be Daniel''s plot. "You will understand in the future." Daniel said calmly. "You don''t have to worry about my life and death." "..." Although there were many doubts, Jack still chose to keep them in his heart. If Daniel didn''t want to say, asking a few more questions would instead cause·´¸Ð. "Well... Let''s talk about what will happen in a week in a week." Daniel gently exhaled a breath. "It can be seen that you have completed the task I issued. What reward do you want?" "I want a pair of suitable boots." Jack said. Actually, what he wanted more was a life-saving item that could resist the forbidden curse scroll. But if Daniel had that thing, the threat back then would probably be meaningless. Moreover, precious life-saving items could definitely not be obtained from a B-level difficulty task. (This chapter is not over.

Once you wear them, you can walk fast ... Obtained another silver-level equipment! The level was just right. Jack immediately equipped it and also replaced the Black Crystal Helmet and Black Crystal Leg Guards obtained from killing the Demonic Rat King. His defense and life increased a lot - [Dark Control ¡¤ YiJack Shui] (Silver-level BOSS) Level: 22 Life: 36,720 Attack: 1,170 - 1,233 Defense: 232 - 252 Reputation: 18,000 Luck: 1This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. Introduction: The traitor of the Light Camp and the proud disciple of the Undead Mage ¡¤ Daniel. With strength far beyond ordinary adventurers. As one of the defending BOSSes of the Dark City, what kind of fate awaits him... ... Although it can''t be compared with the attack, among the equipment he has now, the worst Black Iron Bracer is also bronze. Most of them are silver. Coupled with the defense growth of up to five stars, it is definitely the top toughness. Ordinary players simply can''t break the defense. "Teacher, is there anything else I need to do now?" Jack tried to actively obtain tasks. "Well..." Daniel thought for a moment and said: "You are a Dark Swordsman with extraordinary talent. Maybe when your strength is improved to a sufficient level, you will automatically comprehend some powerful skills. But as the saying goes, more skills don''t weigh you down. Basic skills that should be learned still need to be learned..." Saying that, he took out a letter and handed it to Jack: "I''ll give you a recommendation letter. You go to the Ghost Marsh to find an Undead Swordsman. I believe he will teach you some powerful methods." His profession was an Undead Mage. The skills he learned couldn''t be learned by the melee profession Dark Swordsman. So Jack needed to find a more suitable person. "Thank you, teacher." Jack took the letter. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You have obtained the task [Undead Swordsman]! [Undead Swordsman] (Difficulty: C) Introduction: There is a mysterious Undead Swordsman in the Ghost Marsh. He is Daniel''s masterpiece. But his strength in his lifetime gave him self-awareness and made him the master of the Ghost Marsh Task requirement: Go to the Ghost Marsh and hand him Daniel''s letter "Where is the Ghost Marsh?" Jack asked. Regarding the map information, there was no hint in the game. Everything needed players to explore by themselves. Even if he joined the Dark Camp, the process was the same. Daniel replied: "Keep going straight north and you will reach the Ghost Marsh." "OK. Thank you, teacher." ... After accepting the task, Jack logged out, had a simple dinner, and then logged in to continue the battle. Leaving the Dark City, he set off directly towards the north. After about twenty minutes, he reached the end of the plain. What came into view was a desolate forest surrounded by mist. The forest was dead and lifeless. The leaves on the branches were sparse. The ground was potholed. Many deep pits were filled with green sticky liquid, with disgusting bubbles emerging, which seemed to be highly corrosive. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You have entered the map [Ghost Marsh]! ... Rotten Bones (Page 1/2) Proceeding cautiously, Jack saw many skeletons gathered in groups of twos and threes in the dilapidated forest. Those skeletons were different from the Skeleton Soldiers in the Gloomy City. Their walking postures were strange, making hoarse and unpleasant cries. And there were many rotten and sticky pieces of meat hanging on their bodies. The stench was wafting, extremely pungent. [Rotten Bones] (Common Monster) Level:??? Health: 80,000 Attack: 250 - 260 Defense:??? Skills: [Bite] [Frenzy] Introduction: The bones that died in the Ghost Marsh have turned into walking corpses under the influence of the intense resentment. They hate the living and have great hostility towards anything with life ... The level and defense couldn''t be detected, indicating that they were at least level 28 monsters. But Jack could still see most of their other attributes. Presumably, it was because the strength gap between the two sides wasn''t large. "Ugh ugh ugh..." They discovered the uninvited guest. As if finding a target from the confused wandering, they immediately entered the battle state and launched an attack towards Jack. Jack had a calm expression. Confirming that there were only five monsters, he lifted the Cold Cloud Sword and rushed forward with large strides. Evil Trample was activated, stomping heavily on the head of the leading Rotten Bone. Then Wild Slash broke out.Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. -17,586! -8,175! -8,866! -9,675! -11,233! ... More than 50,000 damage popped up and the health bar of the Rotten Bone was mostly gone. At the same time, all those Rotten Bones launched attacks, opening their mouths and biting towards Jack. -214! -122! -178! Unfortunately, Jack''s defense limit was now as high as 252. The Rotten Bones couldn''t pose much threat. Quickly dealing with several Rotten Bones, Jack obtained as much as 6,000 experience and three silver coins. "Although their strength isn''t high, the experience they provide is still quite good." Jack glanced at the slightly increased experience bar and was quite satisfied. Now, the experience he needed to level up was 280,000. That meant killing less than 300 Rotten Bones could level him up. And with his current attack of over 1,000 to kill monsters, it was likely that he could level up in less than two hours. After leaving the novice village, the difficulty of leveling up often increased day by day. But under the exaggerated increase of Domineering, the time he needed to level up was shorter than in the novice village! Then, Jack continued to go deeper into the Ghost Marsh while dealing with the Rotten Bones he encountered on the way. Until half an hour passed... "Swish!" Golden light flew up. Level 23! The original quest had already rewarded 200,000 experience and the experience bar was more than half full. Therefore, this level-up was particularly fast. "Where exactly is that Undead Swordsman?" Jack looked around and frowned slightly. The Ghost Marsh was surrounded by mist. It was difficult to distinguish the direction. Even though he had been marking along the way, the map was too large. It was still very difficult to find the Undead Swordsman. "Wait!" Suddenly, Jack reacted. He re-scanned the quest panel and woke up like a dream: "It was my mistake. The quest has given a hint. The Undead Swordsman has self-awareness." Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and shouted: "Undead Swordsman, I was sent by Daniel to find you!" "Find me?" Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Jack. "!!" Jack''s heart jumped and he quickly turned around. Not far away, a pale and thin man was sitting quietly on a stone. He was wearing a gray robe and playing with a sharp sword in his hand, not raising his head. When was he there? (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading) Rotten Bones (Page 2/2) "What did Daniel ask you to find me for?" He slowly raised his head and his soulless gaze locked onto Jack. Jack took out the letter from his backpack: "The reason for finding you is written in the letter." "Swish!" The thin man got up from the stone. In the next second, he directly reached Jack, took the letter, and opened it to read. So fast! Jack secretly clicked his tongue. This didn''t seem like the speed that an obsidian-level BOSS should have. Was he really resurrected by Daniel? "So that''s it." After a moment, he raised his head and carefully sized up Jack: "I said why there was an evil and strange aura on you. Hehe, Dark Swordsman... It seems that the chaotic times are coming. Besides many heroic figures born in the Light Faction, many creatures that bring disaster to the world have also reappeared." "..." Jack was speechless. "Daniel hopes that I teach you some skills of the Undead Swordsman." He put away the letter and said calmly, "Okay, but the rules of this world restrict me. If you want to learn, you must first complete the quest I issue." The rules of this world restrict you? Hearing this, Jack couldn''t help but ask the doubts in his heart: "How do you all view... the rules of the world?"The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. It seemed that these natives all saw things extremely clearly and knew the so-called "process". This was too incredible for NPCs. Wasn''t the official of "Eternal" afraid that the NPCs would do some unexpected behaviors that would cause the entire game to crash? Or was it that their knowledge of the "rules" was also some kind of special setting? "Rules are rules. Since they exist, only obey." The man''s mouth curved into a meaningful smile. His dull eyes were calm and he looked straight at Jack, "Even the Ten Ancient Demon Gods couldn''t break them. Let alone me." "Then will you pursue breaking the rules?" Jack continued to ask. The man shook his head: "I''m afraid before I break them, the rules will wipe me out... Alright, some things are too early for you. When you grow into a Dark Swordsman that makes the world tremble, then pursue the answer. As for now... Kill some Rotten Bones to prove that you are qualified for me to teach you the skills of killing." "Ding! ~" System prompt: Do you accept the quest [Proof of Qualification]! "Yes!" Jack naturally wouldn''t refuse. [Proof of Qualification] (Difficulty: B) Introduction: As the mysterious strongman in the Ghost Marsh, the Undead Swordsman ¡¤ Cheriel requires you to prove that you have enough strength for him to teach you the skills of killing. Quest Requirements: Kill 1,000 Rotten Bones ... One thousand?! Jack looked at the number required by the quest and couldn''t help but be stunned. "Your attack is relatively good, but your overall strength is weak and still needs tempering." As if seeing through Jack''s thoughts, Cheriel explained, "Otherwise, you don''t even have the qualification to receive my teachings." "Okay." Jack nodded. He could understand the meaning in the other party''s words. Obviously, Cheriel was reminding him that his level was too low and didn''t meet the minimum requirements for skill learning. Cheriel waved his hand: "Go. Just call me when the quest is completed." With that, he stepped into the mist. In just two seconds, he disappeared without a trace. The speed was incredibly fast. Looking at the time, it was already ten o''clock at night. Jack decided to stay up late and finish the quest first. In the siege battle a week later, as one of the defending BOSSes of the city, he was very dangerous. He must improve his strength as much as possible within the limited time to avoid falling into the hands of players or NPCs sent by the Light Faction to attack the city. ... Grasp of the Undead (Page 1/2) "Ugh ugh ugh..." The hoarse roars kept ringing in Jack''s ears. Holding the Cold Cloud Sword, Jack was fully focused on killing monsters. With an attack of up to thousands, dealing with the Rotten Bones had no pressure at all. Basically, it only took a few sword strikes to kill one. The only troublesome point was to find the refresh points. "Plop!" When Jack killed the 486th Rotten Bone, a staff dropped. It was a bronze-grade equipment of level 30. Although he couldn''t use it himself, it could be sold for a good price. "This drop rate is still touching." Jack shook his head. If it weren''t for seeing the staff dropped by the Rotten Bones, he would have forgotten that small monsters could also drop equipment. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the quest [Qualification Proof]. You can go to the Undead Swordsman ¡¤ Sherrill to claim the reward! It was not until three o''clock in the morning that Jack successfully met the conditions. His level also reached 25, 95%. It was estimated that after claiming the quest reward, he could reach level 26. Just when Jack was about to call Sherrill to come out and meet, another system notification rang in his ears - "Ding! ~" System Prompt: The Concealment Technique cast by the Undead Mage ¡¤ Daniel has ended. "Swish!" In the next second, his skin turned purple-black, his nails turned black, and scarlet light overflowed from his pupils, looking quite like a demon''s descent.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. "Is this the original appearance of the Dark Swordsman?" Sherrill''s voice sounded from the side. Jack turned his head and saw him walking towards him and looking him up and down. "Mr. Sherrill, I have completed the quest." Jack tried to be polite. The other party was clearly an Undead Swordsman but had a physical body and had astonishing movement speed. His strength was imaginable and was definitely not something he could contend with at present. Sherrill nodded: "Very good. I have been observing secretly. I can only say that your attack far exceeds that of the same-level strong ones. No matter how many Rotten Bones there are, they can''t stop you." "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the quest [Qualification Proof]. You receive the reward: Experience +200000 and have the qualification to learn skills from Sherrill! "Swish!" The golden light flew up. Level 26! "You don''t have to call me Mr. It seems too distant. Since Daniel asked me to teach you some methods, I can also be your teacher." Sherrill smiled. Jack understood and immediately changed the title: "Teacher." "Um." Sherrill slightly nodded. Then he swung his arm and threw out a skill learning bar: "Don''t have too high expectations. Due to your current insufficient strength, there are very few methods you can master." [Grasp of the Undead] (Grade A) Introduction: A control method summarized by the Undead Swordsman ¡¤ Sherrill based on his skills during his lifetime. It has an unpredictable control effect. Effect: Drive the energy within your body to put the enemy unit within ten meters in front in a bound state where they can''t move. The longest duration can be three seconds. Cooldown Time: One minute Level Requirement: 25 Price: 2 gold coins [Necrotic Slash] (Grade B) Introduction: An attack method that the Undead Swordsman will master since its birth. Effect: Deal 250% damage based on your own attack to the enemy unit and reduce its movement speed by 10% for two seconds. Cooldown Time: Fifteen seconds Level Requirement: 25 Price: 1 gold coin ... Just as Sherrill said, if he hadn''t killed a thousand Rotten Bones, he wouldn''t be able to learn any skills at all because the lowest limit was level 25. "So many skills..." The skills that couldn''t be learned in the skill bar were gray but could be seen. So Jack pulled down with some curiosity. It took him more than thirty pages to finally reach the bottom. He even saw the Grade SS skill on the last page and was extremely convinced that Sherrill''s identity was definitely not simple. (This chapter is not over. Please click on the next page to continue reading.) Grasp of the Undead (Page 2/2) "Ding! ~" System Prompt: You have successfully mastered the skill [Grasp of the Undead]! "Ding! ~" System Prompt: You have successfully mastered the skill [Necrotic Slash]! The two skills cost three gold coins. But after killing thousands of Rotten Bones, he had more than eight gold coins in his bag and could still afford it. "Alright, I have taught you what you can learn. When your strength is sufficient, come to me to learn new methods." After Jack learned the skills, Sherrill opened his mouth to see him off. Jack asked: "Teacher, when is it considered having sufficient strength?" "When the power of the Dark Swordsman within you is difficult to suppress and thus enables you to master new methods." Sherrill replied. Hearing this, Jack suddenly understood. If he remembered correctly, I comprehended Dark Cycle at level 50. In other words, I should come to him again at level 50? "Then I won''t disturb you. Goodbye, teacher." "Um." ... Leaving the Ghost Marsh, Jack decisively chose to log out. After completing the quest and learning the skills, it was already more than three o''clock in the morning. His life was important and he had to sleep quickly. ... The next day. "Didi!" The ringtone of the mobile phone woke Jack from his sleep. Taking the mobile phone beside the pillow with a tired face, Jack pressed the answer button: "Hello?" "Buddy, it''s twelve o''clock at noon. Are you still sleeping?" Wang Kai''s voice rang from the other end of the phone. "I stayed up late. What''s up?" "Did you know about the large-scale event that was broadcasted by the system yesterday?" "Um." Jack rubbed his somewhat swollen head and the corners of his mouth curled up in a helpless smile: "The siege battle. I know." To be honest, as one of the defending BOSSes of the city, it was difficult for him not to know. "Are you going to join the fun?" Wang Kai asked. "The event rewards for this siege battle are very generous. The top few can even get Gold Grade equipment and even ultra-rare items." "Event rewards?" Suddenly, Jack became energetic: "Where did you see it?" If he remembered correctly, the system didn''t inform about the rewards. "It wasn''t announced." Wang Kai lowered his voice and said, "I learned it through a special channel." "Then it''s really okay for you to tell me?" Jack was a little puzzled. Last time during the talent trial, if it weren''t for Wang Kai revealing the news, perhaps he wouldn''t have asked Daniel and thus obtained the specific situation and was lucky to obtain the Grade SS talent skill Domination. "I didn''t sign a confidentiality agreement. I can tell whoever I want." Wang Kai said indifferently. "Alright." Jack''s reminder was out of concern. Since Wang Kai thought it was okay, he naturally wouldn''t ask more. "Anyway, just take a look for yourself. Actually, going to kill some small monsters and get some points is also good." Wang Kai said. "Um." Jack understood what he meant. After all, it was an event. The rewards must be more than killing monsters and doing quests normally. Wang Kai was thinking of him. Huh? Wait! Event rewards... Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Jack''s mind. Thinking of something, he bounced up from the bed and was excited: "I have a way!" "Way?" Wang Kai didn''t understand at all what Jack was babbling about. "What way?" "I''ll treat you to a meal after it''s done." "Tell me first what it is?"This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. "Mua!" "..." Wang Kai fell silent. Bro, I''m a man. ... Chapter 28: Dark Cycle (Page 1/2) "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Please note that your level is temporarily raised to level 50. It will return to normal after the talent trial ends! Jiang Han wasn''t surprised by the system''s behavior of constantly raising the player''s level to reduce the actual difficulty. Compared to the terrifying growth of beast-like creatures, even if humans reach level 50, they are still inferior. After all, non-humanoid creatures don''t have the concept of equipment. The higher the grade, the stronger the attribute growth. Players need to rely on equipment to stack attributes to be comparable. However, know yourself and know your enemy to win every battle. To understand the gap, he still checked his own attributes first. [The Fallen ¡¤ Jiang Han Shui] (Bronze Grade BOSS) Level: 50 Life: 25,000 Attack: 600 Defense: 250 Reputation: 12,000 Luck: 0 Unallocated Free Attribute Points: 5 Introduction:... ... A full 600 attack points! The improvement of the Art of Slaughter is still powerful. After all, in addition to the attack value, the Art of Slaughter also provides a percentage attack bonus and is destined not to be eliminated. Adding all the free attribute points to the attack, Jiang Han''s strength increased further. At the same time, the phantom of the Water Qilin was completely condensed. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Please kill the enemy within ten minutes. If you succeed in killing, the range of talent acquisition will be raised to S - Grade A. If you fail, it will be S - Grade B! Grade A! As long as he defeats the Water Qilin, the talent he can obtain will be at least Grade A. But the problem is... "Fairy-level BOSS. System, you really know how to play!" Jiang Han''s expression was unprecedentedly solemn. Fairy-level! This is much higher than the Dark Gold level in the previous stage. During this period, it crossed at least three levels: Spirit-level, Earth-level, and Heaven-level! Although the system raised his level to 50, facing a level 1 fairy-level BOSS, his attributes were still at a disadvantage. Not to mention the skills, he was completely crushed - [Water Qilin] (Fairy-level BOSS) Level: 1 Life: 100,000 Attack: 680 Defense: 350 Skills: [Water Breath] [Cold Wave Sweeping] [Divine Auspiciousness] [Forbidden ¡¤ Ocean Domain] Introduction: An ultra-rare creature existing in the vast sea area. Ordinary people will not have the fortune to encounter it in their lifetime. As a branch of auspiciousness, it is born with perfect control over the water element. It is a dominant-level in its infancy and has the opportunity to step into the divine-level realm when it reaches maturity and become a top powerhouse in Tianheng Continent. Since it has become one of the levels of the talent trial, it is believed that there will also be some¸ÐÓ¦ in reality ... Jiang Han was under great pressure. His attributes in all aspects were completely surpassed. He had no advantage at all. Moreover, the skills of the Water Qilin sounded outrageous just by their names. The last skill even had a "Forbidden" character. What does it mean? Did the level 1 Water Qilin already learn to cast forbidden spells? "Roar!" The Water Qilin roared. The shiny scales reflected fatal danger. A constantly rotating torrent appeared in the blood-filled mouth that was opened towards Jiang Han and then gushed out, forming a water column. Seeing this, Jiang Han, who was already well-prepared, would not blindly take it head-on. He quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the water column that was about to hit his chest. However, the Water Qilin did not give up. It turned its head to one side and the water column changed position and moved horizontally. "!!" Jiang Han was startled. He decisively bent his waist and fell backward. Before he could do anything, the bone-chilling cold swept over. The wet ground quickly froze with frost. The cold invaded his body, causing Jiang Han''s blood to freeze and flow unsmoothly in an instant. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: The Water Qilin used the skill [Cold Wave Sweeping], reducing the speed and attack speed of all enemy units within a 30-meter radius centered on itself by 50% for ten seconds! Ten seconds?! Jiang Han''s expression changed drastically. He wanted to move but was slow. The Water Qilin in the distance reacted quickly, took the opportunity to leap up, and stomped its front hooves hard on both sides of Jiang Han''s shoulders, pressing him to the ground. -4,555! Just a simple normal attack and Jiang Han''s health points immediately lost nearly one-fifth! "Roar!!" It roared at Jiang Han. The deafening sound made Jiang Han''s eardrums rumble and extremely uncomfortable. In the next second, a torrent formed in its mouth. At such a close distance, it was confident that the enemy had no way to avoid it. Am I going to lose? Jiang Han gritted his teeth and tried to break free. But his arms were firmly pressed and he could only watch as the torrent brewed in the Water Qilin''s mouth. What should I do? His brain worked rapidly, trying to get out of the dangerous situation. It''s true that he thought he performed well in the talent trial. If he was lucky, the talent selection range of S - B could still allow him to obtain Grade S. But... He was not willing to stop here! Watching the torrent about to erupt, in a hurry, Jiang Han suddenly thought of something. He gathered saliva in his mouth, concentrated it on the tip of his tongue, and spat it out with all his strength: "Ha... Ptooey!" The saliva burst out and accurately landed in the Water Qilin''s mouth, slowly sliding down its huge tongue. Water Qilin: "..." "Ha... Ptooey!" Just before the second wave of water element attack was about to hit, the Water Qilin immediately jumped backward, avoiding the opponent''s shameless interference. After spitting a few times on the ground, it glared angrily. Saved! Jiang Han quickly got up and looked at the extremely furious Water Qilin, not giving in with his words: "Don''t think only you can use Water Breath. We humans can do the same. We are born with perfect control over the water element." "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Please note that the Water Qilin''s hatred value for you +1000! "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Because of your provocation, the Water Qilin is about to use the skill [Forbidden ¡¤ Ocean Domain]! "Roar!!" The Water Qilin roared towards the sky. Its whole body glowed with a dazzling blue light. Surging water waves appeared beneath it and gradually spread towards the surroundings. In almost a few seconds, it submerged Jiang Han''s ankles. Seeing this, Jiang Han''s eyebrows were filled with solemnity. Although temporarily out of danger, the answer to how to defeat the Water Qilin next was still unknown. "Gurgle..." However, just when Jiang Han was on high alert, the blood in his body suddenly began to boil. A strange cold energy flowed from his chest into his limbs and bones. This is... Jiang Han was overjoyed. The evil power within me is finally about to burst out uncontrollably! "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Congratulations on reaching level 50 and stimulating the potential of the Dark Swordsman in the battle. Comprehend the skill: [Dark Cycle] (Grade S)! As the only hidden occupation, the potential of the Dark Swordsman is beyond doubt. At the critical moment, it actually played a role again, helping Jiang Han comprehend a new skill. "Must be powerful!" Before the Water Qilin launched the Ocean Domain, Jiang Han quickly opened the skill panel to check the details - [Dark Cycle] (Grade S) Introduction: The Dark Swordsman walks on the edge of life and death. Not afraid of death but eager to win. He masters the special ability to squeeze every bit of strength from his body to defeat the opponent. Effect: Within five minutes, all attributes increase by 50%. Negative Effect: The level drops by 10 levels after use. Cooldown Time: Seven natural days ... Abandon the Light and Embrace the Darkness Somewhere in a studio in Su City. Wang Kai, who was on his lunch break at noon, put down his phone and had a speechless expression: "What''s all this? Why is he so happy?" Jack and he were childhood friends who grew up together and had an extremely close relationship. That''s why he tried every way to help his brother and reveal some information that ordinary players had no way of knowing. If he didn''t know that the other party''s sexual orientation was normal, just because of that moment before hanging up the phone, he felt it necessary to keep a certain distance from the other party. "Brother Kai, I encountered a bronze-level BOSS. Please come and help me fight!" "OK!" ... After ending the call, Jack ordered a chicken leg rice, then got up to wash his face and brush his teeth, and posed in front of the mirror. "Ding Dong!" Soon, the takeout arrived. In fact, Jack felt that every time he looked in the mirror, time always passed quickly. This was a very strange phenomenon. After studying for a long time, he vaguely felt that it should have some mysterious connection with an indescribable thing called "good looks". After solving lunch in a few minutes, he drank a few sips of warm water, quickly put on the game helmet, and continued to fight. ... "Swish!" A white light flashed and Jack appeared at the edge of the Ghost Marsh. He immediately set off to return to the Dark City. About twenty minutes later, he reached the destination. Hurriedly entering the city lord''s mansion, he saw that Daniel was still calmly concocting potions. There was no sign of the final BOSS who was about to face the battle in a week. "Teacher, I have a plan that might be able to resist the Light Camp!" Jack came behind him and said straightforwardly. "Huh?" Daniel put away the potions and looked surprised: "Speak and let me hear." The Dark City was formerly the first-level main city of the Light Camp, Skylight City, and it was a key pass to resist the attack of the Dark Camp. Since the Light Camp was going to attack, they would definitely send heavy troops. To be honest, he felt that the Dark City was bound to fall. However, since his disciple had a suggestion, he was also interested. "You also know that our adventurers are not very obedient." Jack sorted out his thoughts and tried to express his point of view in words that Daniel could understand. "Although we descended on the Tianheng Continent to fight for the Light Camp, there are many people like me. The so-called representing the Light or the Dark can''t restrict the behavior of our adventurers." Daniel thought for a while and roughly understood Jack''s idea: "Do you mean..."Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. "Under a generous reward, there must be brave people!" Jack said solemnly. "The Light Camp has always not valued adventurers and even has hostility and extreme dislike towards them. Then we will do the opposite and attract adventurers to fight for the Dark Camp. What do you think?" He felt that such an approach had some feasibility. From the beginning of the newbie village, he felt the bad attitude of the natives towards adventurers. Many players were unhappy about it. It was estimated that there were not a few players who wanted to play against the main storyline. "You think too simply." Daniel shook his head. "It''s not that easy for them to join the Dark Camp." "It''s okay if they can''t join. We just make the rewards more generous." "Can this work?" "Can!" Jack nodded solemnly: "One hundred percent can. And..." "And?" "It''s best that the reward for the first place is extremely generous!" Jack said with a smile. Looking at his disciple''s smile, Daniel somehow felt a bit sinister: "For example..." "Only the first place can join the Dark Camp!" "I said, joining the Dark Camp is not as simple as you think. I had to invite you back then to protect myself." Daniel shook his head. "Don''t think my strength is only at the dark gold level." "Have you reached the spirit level?" Jack was surprised. "... Cough cough!" Daniel coughed twice and said awkwardly: "Not yet. Don''t digress. What I mean is that my strength was not only at the dark gold level before... Don''t ask about the details. In short, it''s by no means that adventurers can join the Dark Camp as they wish. They accept the protection of the Goddess of Life and must fight for the Light Camp. This is an unbreakable contract." "OK." Jack nodded. Regarding his past strength, Daniel seemed reluctant to talk more. He didn''t ask more either. "But this doesn''t mean that the reward for the first place can''t be joining the Dark Camp." "Huh?" Daniel was stunned and couldn''t quite figure it out. A few seconds later, looking at Jack with a kind expression, he suddenly understood: "Good lad. As long as you get the first place, the so-called reward of joining the Dark Camp will naturally be invalidated!" "Correct." "..." The idea was affirmed. Daniel looked at Jack directly. "What''s wrong?" Jack felt puzzled. "Do I have flowers on my face?" Handsome! This was a fact he had to admit! But it was a bit creepy for a man to stare like this. "No. I just think you are a bit cunning." He made the evaluation. In fact, he was relatively confident that Jack could win the first place, so he didn''t think it was inappropriate. Jack: "..." Cunning? Nonsense. This is clearly called being extremely smart! "Well, let''s do it your way!" Daniel reached out and patted Jack on the shoulder, saying with relief, "Although the reason why you and I met was not very pleasant, I still recognize you as my disciple." "Ding! ~" System prompt: The Dark City feels the pressure from the Light Camp and decides to widely recruit adventurers who abandon the light and join the dark. Those who are willing can go to the NPC [Undead Knight ¡¤ Kant] (Coordinates: 7845.484) outside the Dark City to sign up! "Ding! ~" System prompt: The siege points ranking list and the defending points ranking list are open. Rewards can be viewed! The defending points ranking list? Good guy, it feels right! Jack opened the system panel and indeed saw the additional ranking list option. By opening it, he could see the reward content - First place: Join the Dark Camp and obtain the hidden profession Undead Swordsman Second place: One random dark gold-level equipment and one S-level rare item Third place: Two random gold-level equipment and one A-level rare item ... Very good! Jack looked at the reward for the first place and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Rarity makes value! Not to mention the so-called hidden profession Undead Swordsman. After he joined the Dark Camp, the bounty for hisÌÖ·¥ was the only hidden profession and rare items. This was a reward that was enough to drive people crazy! After that, Jack opened the official website forum and indeed saw countless posts discussing enthusiastically. Thinking for a while, he posted a post with the ID YiJack Shui - "Come on, come on. There won''t be someone who really wants to join the Dark Camp, right?" In just a few seconds, there were countless comments and it directly rushed to the popularity ranking list. After all, the reward for killing him now was too tempting. First floor: Anyone who doesn''t want to is just stupid! Second floor: Joining the Dark Camp will be wanted. Then selling the bounty will directly make you worth hundreds of millions. Although there will definitely be a price to pay, it doesn''t matter. Money is more attractive in the game! Third floor: YiJack Shui, what are you pretending? I will kill you sooner or later! Fourth floor: Wow, the rewards are much better than those given by the Light Camp... Fifth floor: I''ll directly abandon the light and join the dark! ... Make Trouble "Mentor, can you cast the Concealment Spell on me again?" Jack asked. Having purple-black skin was truly too unconventional. The sense of presence was too strong, not suitable for hiding himself, and it was easy to be socially awkward. "Even if you didn''t say it, I would still cast it. After all, with your current strength, once you enter the sight of certain strong ones, you will surely die." Saying this, Daniel raised his staff and muttered incantations. After a moment, black light gushed out from the staff, wrapped Jack, and turned him back into an ordinary human. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You have received the Concealment Spell cast by the mentor, the Undead Mage ¡¤ Daniel, and restored your human form. The duration is one month. One month! Jack was quite surprised: "The duration has increased?" "My strength has improved and my injuries have healed. The effect of the Concealment Spell I cast naturally lasts longer." Daniel explained, and then changed the topic, "Have you met Cheriel?" "Yes." Jack nodded: "I learned two skills. He told me to become stronger before going to learn again." "That''s good." Daniel let out a sigh of relief, "It seems that he really doesn''t plan to return to the Light Faction. Just right, he can provide assistance for you." Jack caught the key word: "Return?" So, was Cheriel from the Light Faction before? Or to be more precise, was from the Light Faction when he was alive... "He is a strong one." Daniel spoke straightforwardly, "I have already said in the letter. If I die one day, he will be your next mentor." Jack: "..." "Don''t be surprised." Daniel shook his head, "Following me, you won''t go far. And death is not my end. Remember, if I die one day, don''t be sad for me. Because as long as you live long enough, we will meet again in the future." "This..." Jack was stunned: "It seems that the mentor has an astonishing identity and can even be resurrected?" "Being an Undead Mage is not something you can become just because you want to." Daniel smiled smugly, and then waved his hand, "You are still too weak. Go and become stronger. I hope that when the points are settled, you are the well-deserved first." Well-deserved! His words were reminding Jack that he wouldn''t do any tricks during the settlement. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You have received the quest [Spoiling from the Middle]! [Spoiling from the Middle] (Difficulty: S) Introduction: Since it was your suggestion, the price naturally has to be borne by yourselfIf you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Requirements: Win the first place on the defending city points ranking Quest Reward:??? Quest Penalty: Deprivation of the Protection of the Ancient Demon Gods ... This was a quest that forced the player to accept. It wasn''t issued by Daniel actively. Obviously, the system wouldn''t just watch Jack disrupt the main storyline without any punishment. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Do you accept the quest [Destroy the Enemy Camp]! "Yes!" Jack chose to accept. The second ringtone was the quest issued by Daniel. [Destroy the Enemy Camp] (Difficulty: B) Introduction: In the southeast direction of the Gloomy City, there is a camp of the Light Faction. According to the scout''s report, they are part of the troops planning to attack the Gloomy City. Destroying them can reduce the pressure of the siege Quest Requirements: Clear the human soldiers and kill the camp BOSS ... Daniel said solemnly: "After you came to the Gloomy City, you have gained some tempering. Now you must increase the difficulty a little and be given some pressure. I hope you won''t disappoint me and don''t disgrace the name of the Dark Swordsman." "Okay!" Jack nodded. Then, he left the Gloomy City, trying not to attract the attention of players, and headed southeast. Passing through the territory of the Gloomy City, he entered a lush forest. Different from the Ghost Marsh, this forest was full of vitality and many small animals inhabited it. It was noon. The brilliant sunlight passed through the dense branches and leaves, leaving mottled shadows on the ground. Jack went deep all the way and saw traces left by human activities. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You have entered the map [Sunshine Forest]! "Sasha..." Stepping on the soft soil, Jack quickly reached a camp and saw the target of this trip, a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding spears - [Star and Moon Soldier] (Common Monster) Level:??? Health: 100,000 Attack:??? Defense: 250 - 280 Skills: [Combo] [Critical Strike] [Nebula Formation] Introduction: The elite soldiers dispatched and stationed in the Sunshine Forest by the Star and Moon Town. They are well-trained and have considerable strength. They are one of the troops attacking the Gloomy City ... It was indeed troublesome without a higher-level detection method! After looking at the attribute panel of the Star and Moon Soldier, Jack sighed helplessly. The Detection Skill mastered by beginners could only detect the attributes of creatures no more than five levels above themselves. When players gradually left the beginner stage, it began to be somewhat insufficient. Approaching carefully, he relied on the trees as obstacles and got close to one of the soldiers. Until he was not far behind the soldier, without saying a word, he used Evil Trample, jumped high, and stomped hard, suppressing the soldier under his feet for 0.5 seconds. Before the other party could issue an alarm, Jack plunged the sword blade into his neck, bringing out gushing blood. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You used the skill [Necrotic Slash], dealing 24,765 damage to the Star and Moon Soldier and reducing its movement speed by 10%! Because the attack granted by Domineering was too exaggerated, the damage was also quite domineering. Just one slash took away a quarter of the opponent''s health. "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The soldier ignored the pain and shouted loudly: "Come on, people!" Jack remained calm. After the Necrotic Slash, he followed up with Wild Slash, and then stepped back a few steps. Seeing the other party struggling to get up, he raised his left hand and grasped in the air. "Swish!" Suddenly, purple-black energy emerged in mid-air, quickly gathering into a huge palm, and then grasping the soldier. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You used the skill [Undead Grasp], putting the Star and Moon Soldier in a one-second binding state! Although Jack''s attack was far beyond the same level, his level was still much lower. The control effect didn''t last long due to the level gap. But taking this opportunity, he went up and made two supplementary strikes, directly killing the soldier. "Necrotic Slash combined with Wild Slash for output, and Evil Trample combined with Undead Grasp for control. It''s simply disgusting!" Jack deeply felt the nastiness of this set of skill combinations. "The enemy is here!" However, the alarm before that soldier''s death still worked. Many soldiers immediately surrounded them murderously. Seeing this, Jack was ready to turn and run. The Star and Moon Soldiers weren''t enough to make him flee in panic. But there was also an unknown-strength BOSS in the enemy camp. He had to be careful. "Where is the general? Go and call him!" Some Star and Moon Soldiers shouted loudly. "The adult went out for fun with his concubine..." "Damn it!" ... Jack had just taken a step when he heard the conversation of those soldiers behind him and was immediately stunned. Let me kill the soldiers first and then deal with the BOSS? This... The system did it on purpose, right? ... Youre So Despicable Hearing this, Jack turned around, raised the Cold Cloud Sword, and said coldly: "Humph, a bunch of ants!" When showing off, it should be loud and clear! Since the BOSS wasn''t here, a group of Xingyue soldiers could do nothing to him. "Damn the dark faction. Your arrogance will cost you!" Those Xingyue soldiers were enraged by Jack and came forward one after another, surrounding him tightly and launching attacks in a certain pattern. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Xingyue soldiers used the skill [Nebula Formation], attack power +15%! "Chirp chirp chirp..." In the next second, the soldiers in the front row raised their spears and stabbed at Jack fiercely. Seeing this, Jack wasn''t panicked at all. He directly activated Evil Trample, greatly enhancing his jumping ability. Then he bent his knees and jumped high, directly beyond their attack range, causing a lot of MISS to pop up. Then, he landed heavily and stepped hard on the face of the soldier in the second row, kicking him backward. He fell awkwardly to the ground. Soldier: "..." The others looked at his miserable state, their eyes widened, their faces looked ugly, and their morale weakened suddenly. As the saying goes, don''t hit someone in the face. How could he step on someone''s face? Necrotic Slash followed, Grasp of the Undead continued to control, Wild Slash burst out for output. After Jack finished this set of attacks, the soldier was on the verge of death and completely died after a few more sword strikes. "Kill!!" However, the stunned moment was only for an instant. As the elite soldiers of Xingyue Town, they weren''t weak either. They immediately adjusted their state, raised their spears and stabbed, launching consecutive attacks. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: You suffered a [Critical Strike] from the Xingyue soldier and lost 2,458 health points! "Ding! ~" System Prompt: You suffered a [Critical Strike] from the Xingyue soldier and lost 2,381 health points! The health points decreased rapidly. Jack felt a little troubled. During the battle, he took a moment to drink a mouthful of healing potion and green light began to appear on his body. +500! +500! ... Although Jack had some experience in his own movement and methods against the enemy, facing a group attack, it was naturally impossible to avoid all damages. The consecutive stabs of the Xingyue soldiers were quite powerful. He also had to fight and dodge within the encirclement. However, now his life was as high as 42,000. It was extremely difficult for these Xingyue soldiers to kill him. The battle lasted for ten minutes. Jack killed more than twenty people and the pressure was greatly reduced. He no longer wasted potions. After successfully killing all the Xingyue soldiers in the camp, he explored everywhere and found dozens of silver coins in each tent. He was a little strange: "Only such a few soldiers were stationed here?" He thought there would be at least a few hundred soldiers. Unexpectedly, there were only twenty or thirty.The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. "This... This... Who did this!" Jack, who was in the tent, heard a rough roar from outside. Did the BOSS come back? Jack quickly ran out. What came into view was a burly man. The man wore yellow armor and held a sharp axe in each hand. He had a broad back and a thick waist, a scar on his face, and looked very fierce. Behind him, there was a young woman with a plump butt and big breasts. Her face turned pale as if she was frightened by the corpses of the surrounding soldiers. Just in case, Jack cast a Scouting Skill - [Xingyue General ¡¤ Kundun] (Silver Grade BOSS) Level:??? Life: 250,000 Attack:??? Defense:??? Skills:??? Introduction: The most outstanding warrior in Xingyun Town. Unfortunately, after gaining power, he indulged in wine and women. His body was completely worn out and his strength gradually declined. It is said that he has a special hobby of doing something pleasant in the wild ... He could only see the other party''s life and introduction, nothing else. There was no way. The levels of the Xingyue soldiers were already much higher than his. Kundun, as the BOSS, had a higher level. The effect of the Scouting Skill must have been greatly reduced again. Kundun noticed Jack who walked out of the tent and immediately glared at him: "Jack Shui, I know you. It seems my soldiers were killed by you!" "Huh?" Jack was surprised: "Do we know each other?" He really didn''t expect that he had entered the sight of the NPC. "You are on the wanted list of the Light Faction. Taking your head there can get a distinctive combat occupation. The strength will increase several times and the future is limitless. Who in the entire Light Faction doesn''t want your head?" Kundun''s eyes flashed with a trace of greed and intense killing intent. "If I kill you, I will have endless wealth and honor in the future. I can kiss any beauty I want!" "Any beauty you can kiss?" Jack cooperated very well and showed a shocked expression. "Then aren''t you having a great time?" "Hahaha, of course." Kundun grinned and then raised the double axes and rushed up rapidly. "Whoosh..." When approaching, he crossed and slashed the double axes in front of him. The momentum was strong, forming a sharp energy in the shape of "X" and sweeping forward. Evil Trample! With the amazing movement speed bonus, Jack repeated the old trick, jumped up, avoided the energy attack similar to sword energy, closed his feet, drew a perfect parabola, and accurately kicked Kundun in the face, making the latter take a step backward. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: You used the skill [Evil Trample] and dealt 11,571 damage to the enemy. Due to the large level gap, there was no suppression effect! "!!" Jack''s expression condensed. This was the first time that Evil Trample failed to suppress. The next moment, Kundun raised and then dropped the double axes, hitting Jack''s legs. -3,580! -4,214! Jack felt the pain. Taking advantage of the momentum that hadn''t disappeared, he spread his legs and pushed hard on Kundun''s shoulders. He did a somersault in the air and landed perfectly. "Good skills!" Although they were enemies, Kundun couldn''t help but praise. "..." Jack remained silent. This backflip was quite handsome. But he only dared to try it in the game. In reality, being so fancy, he was afraid that he would die directly by landing on his head. Then, the two of them charged at each other again. You had a sword and I had an axe. They played happily. The cold sword light that burst out from time to time made the beautiful woman hiding behind the tree tremble with fear. At a certain moment, Jack''s health points dropped to 30%. Without hesitation, he used a stronger recovery potion. Then he raised his hand and shouted: "Grasp of the Undead!" Instantly, purple-black energy gathered and formed a big hand, firmly grasping Kundun. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: You used the skill [Grasp of the Undead] and put Xingyue General ¡¤ Kundun in a bound state for 0.8 seconds! Evil Trample! This time, Jack didn''t launch an attack. Instead, taking advantage of the 200% movement speed bonus for two seconds, without saying a word, he turned and ran away. In terms of attack, he was much stronger than the opponent. But in terms of defense and life, he was much weaker. Simply fighting head-on would seriously put him at a disadvantage and only put himself in a dangerous situation. Therefore, he decided to change the way. Kundun, who easily broke free from the control effect, looked at Jack who disappeared in a flash and twitched the corner of his eye: "So fast..." "Sir, are you okay?" The beautiful woman asked worriedly. Kundun put away the axes and shook his head regretfully: "I''m fine. It''s just a pity that he ran away." However, less than a minute later, Jack, who was almost full of health, appeared in his vision again, full of energy. He held the Cold Cloud Sword and charged up, shouting: "I won''t run anymore. If you want to fight, I will fight!" The recovery effect of taking medicine combined with the 0.5% recovery effect of Death Power per second when out of combat was no joke. "You dare to come back?" Kundun was both shocked and angry and raised the axe to fight. Two minutes later, Jack repeated the old trick. Grasp of the Undead was used for control and Evil Trample was used to run away. "Damn it!" Kundun, whose health bar dropped to 40%, was panting and his eyes were full of anger: "Such a sinister guy. You have no martial ethics at all." "Sir, let''s go?" The beautiful woman suggested. Kundun nodded: "Yes, this place is not suitable to stay for long." "Go?" Jack slowly walked out from behind the tree, tightly holding the Cold Cloud Sword, full of killing intent: "You want to run when you can''t win. You are too despicable!" ... Rock - Wall Armor "You... You..." Quinton was trembling all over. His face turned livid with rage at Jack''s shameless words. He pointed at him and roared, "How dare you even say that!" Clearly it was you who cheated. But in your mouth, how did it become that I couldn''t beat you and wanted to run? Is there any sense of shame? "Why can''t I say it?" Jack said as he approached. Quinton gritted his teeth. "Wasn''t it you who kept running?" "That''s because you praised my good skills. I couldn''t help but want to show you a few tricks." Jack made up an excuse casually and attacked again. "Today, it''s a fight to the death between you and me. Either you die or I die!" "Die!" Quinton raised his double axes and charged forward. He opened the double axes and rotated like a tornado. The axe light drew a cold arc, causing continuous area damage to those approaching. -4781! -4877! -4984! ... Quinton kept rotating and approaching. The damage he caused kept increasing, forcing Jack to dodge everywhere and find it hard to resist. Is a human-shaped silver-level BOSS this outrageous? Seeing his health points dropping rapidly, Jack first risked getting injured to use the Necromancer Slash to slow the opponent down. Then, he rolled away like a clumsy donkey to avoid a distance. He used the Grasp of the Undead and the Evil Trample to get out of the fight and hid behind a tree, frantically taking medicine to restore his condition. "Sir..." The beautiful woman looked at Quinton''s exhausted appearance and was extremely worried. "..." Hearing this, the scarred Quinton turned back and looked at her. The corner of his mouth twitched, but he didn''t reply. Instead, he quickly left and disappeared from the woman''s sight in a few seconds. He wasn''t stupid. Jack obviously wanted to take advantage of his fast recovery speed to wear him down. If he let the opponent repeat this, he would surely die. "Can you run away?" Jack resolutely chased after him. With the speed growth of a five-star Dark Swordsman, he was not inferior to Quinton, whose level was much higher than his. Two minutes later, Quinton stopped, breathing heavily. He couldn''t run anymore. "Why is your physical strength so terrifying?" "Physical strength?" Jack was a little puzzled. "Can adventurers feel tired?" This question stumped him. Is there a stamina setting in this game? "Of course!" Quinton looked incredibly shocked. "Everyone gets tired. You and I have been fighting fiercely for such a long time, running and chasing. How could you not be tired?" "I don''t know about that." Jack shrugged, indicating that he couldn''t answer. Then, he lifted the Cold Cloud Sword and launched an attack. The opponent seemed to be really exhausted, unable to even lift the axes. He just stood there and had his life taken away by Jack''s sword strikes. One minute later, Quinton''s tall body fell and died completely.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on killing the 35-level silver-level BOSS of the Light Faction ¡¾Star and Moon General ¡¤ Quinton¡¿. You get rewards: Experience +600000, Reputation +1500! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on completing the quest ¡¾Destroy the Enemy Camp¡¿. You can go to the mentor, Necromancer ¡¤ Daniel, to receive the quest rewards! "Swish!" "Swish!" Golden lights flew up one after another! The rich experience made Jack level up twice in a row, reaching level 28. In addition, he also saw two exquisitely shaped pieces of equipment and two gold coins beside the corpse. Without hesitation, he reached out and picked them up. Then, he checked the equipment attributes - ¡¾Rock Wall Armor¡¿ (Silver-level) Defense: 60-80 Health: 2000 Effect: Defense +15% Required level: 35 Introduction: The most beloved armor of Quinton. It''s thick and solid, with quite excellent defense. Whenever he goes to war, he will definitely wear it. ¡¾Thunder Axe¡¿ (Silver-level) Attack: 100-120 Effect: Attack +10%, Attack speed -10% Required level: 35 Introduction: A powerful weapon that accompanied Quinton on the battlefield. The axe blade is stained with the blood of countless people. But because it''s too heavy, it''s extremely difficult to swing. ... The attributes of the armor are good. As for the weapon, the required level is high, and the attack bonus is not as good as the gold equipment, the Cold Cloud Sword, in his hand. Naturally, it needs to be sold. He sent screenshots of the Thunder Axe and other equipment he replaced to Longteng Wanli and asked, "Make an offer?" "Level 35 is okay..." Longteng Wanli added an expression of speechlessness at the end of the reply. At present, the highest level of players in the Eastern Region is no more than level 23. This guy is good. He directly took out an axe that can only be equipped at level 35 for sale. There is no market standard for this at all. It''s quite troublesome for him to make an offer. "As long as it''s reasonable." Jack said. Admittedly, he could wait until the top players are close to level 35 to choose to sell. But the problem is that he, who joined the Dark Faction, doesn''t have any warehouses. And if he dies once, his account will be destroyed. The siege battle in a week is quite dangerous for him. He can''t guarantee that he will definitely survive. Therefore, before the event starts, it''s the best choice to sell the equipment he doesn''t need in his bag. To put it in a vulgar way, even if his account is destroyed, he has made a lot of money in this game. He has enough money to cover daily expenses and can recreate a character to come back. "150,000!" Longteng Wanli didn''t waste words and directly gave the price. "200,000!" Jack raised the price. "... OK!" Longteng Wanli agreed. After all, it''s a silver equipment with good attributes. Although it''s early, using it as a reward for the first player in the guild to reach level 35 can motivate many people. "By the way, why do you think the Thunder Axe can be sold for 200,000?" Longteng Wanli was a little strange. The price of 150,000 was already not low. He thought the other party would simply agree, but he didn''t expect the other party to raise the price. Jack directly typed and replied: "Because you have a lot of money!" Just because of his words that all growth stars are four stars, he spent hundreds of thousands to make an announcement. This guy doesn''t lack money. He probably won''t even blink an eye when paying an extra 50,000. If he doesn''t take advantage of this, his conscience really won''t pass. Longteng Wanli, who was in a certain small town far away, twitched the corner of his mouth. "Concise and to the point. You said it well." He never expected that YiJack Shui''s answer would be so... not tactful! "Don''t worry. I won''t deliberately cheat you. As long as the price is right, I''ll still come to you first in the future." Jack replied. "If the price is not good, I''ll find another boss." "Don''t. Just come to me." Longteng Wanli certainly wouldn''t mind the extra 50,000. Those who do great things don''t get bogged down in minor details. 200,000 is nothing to him. But YiJack Shui has great potential. Even if it''s just trading equipment, it can deepen their friendship. Moreover, in terms of equipment alone, he doesn''t suffer a loss. ... After chatting for a while, Jack hid the equipment in a corner of the Sunshine Forest, covered it with soil, and then waited for Longteng Wanli to transfer the money and then tell him the specific coordinates. Until the transaction was over, Jack had already returned to the Dark City to receive the quest rewards from his mentor. "Tell me, what do you want to get this time?" In terms of rewards, Daniel was still very generous and allowed Jack to choose freely. Such a privilege was something other players could never even dream of. After thinking for a while, Jack asked, "Mentor, can it still be the Blessing Orb?" The armor requires level 35. But with the Blessing Orb, he can equip it immediately. "OK." Daniel nodded in agreement. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on completing the quest ¡¾Destroy the Enemy Camp¡¿. You get rewards: Experience +200000, C-level item ¡¾Blessing Orb¡¿! After using the Blessing Orb to lower the requirement level of the Rock Wall Armor, Jack promptly equipped it, and his defense and health increased again - ¡¾Dark Control ¡¤ YiJack Shui¡¿ (Silver-level BOSS) Level: 28 Health: 50220 Attack: 1245-1308 Defense: 331-374 Reputation: 19500 Luck: 1 Introduction: As a traitor of the Light Faction, YiJack Shui gradually grew up with the help of his mentor, Daniel. Standing out, he is ambitious and attempts to control the darkness. Brave adventurers, kill him. He will bring you amazing benefits! ... Demon God Ranking When Jack equipped the Rock Wall Armor, a sudden system chime rang in his ears - "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations! Your strength meets the requirements and the Dark Camp Power Ranking List is unlocked! The Dark Camp Power Ranking List? Jack was slightly surprised. He opened the system panel and indeed saw the newly emerged ranking list option. Just a glance at the rankings made him understand immediately: "This should be the power ranking of the top ten demons of the Dark Camp, right?" Space-Time Monster Beast ¡¤ Porter Disaster Star 61 Eric Ocean Devourer ¡¤ Barlow Fallen Angel ¡¤ Selah Fire Dance Lotus ¡¤ Nicole War Beast 61 Harry Obliteration Wind 61 Ralf Soul Controller 61 Gal Evil Dragon ¡¤ Atikus Evil Curse 61 Lore ... It''s not that the power ranking list only shows the top ten. It''s just that there are exactly ten on one page, so their titles and names are the most prominent. Jack also saw his own ranking with the friendly reminder of the system - No. 99,999,955, Dark Controller ¡¤ One River Cold Water! So strong! From this ranking list, Jack could tell that he was by no means a nobody. He was already a super powerful figure within a hundred million in the Dark Camp. In other words, there were no more than a hundred million people in the Dark Camp who could defeat him! "It seems you already know the names of the demons." Daniel heard Jack talk about the ranking list and understood in his heart, "Although the top ten demons are powerful and rarely have rivals in the Tianheng Continent, you must not belittle yourself. In the future, you might also have the chance to reach the top ten." "Oh?" Jack raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised: "Just because I''m a Dark Swordsman?" "Yes." Daniel nodded and said solemnly, "The last Dark Swordsman was also one of the top ten demons who were all-powerful!" "How did he die then?" Jack asked a rather spoilsport question. In his opinion, since the current top ten rankings don''t have that Dark Swordsman, then he''s probably dead. "This..." Daniel hesitated for a moment, stammering, and said: "Anyway, don''t worry about it now. You''ll know later." "..." Jack was speechless. It seemed that Daniel always didn''t want him to come into contact with some key "game backgrounds". "By the way, your method is indeed very effective." Daniel thought of something and said, "Currently, more than 200,000 adventurers have chosen to sign up in Kant and are willing to help us when the siege battle starts." "Naturally." Jack wasn''t surprised.This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. Players have always been doing their own thing and there is no such thing as a sense of justice. Because they belong to the Light Camp and represent justice, so they would never help the Dark Camp. Such "moral principles" couldn''t restrict them at all. "Like this, perhaps as long as they don''t show up, it''s really possible to keep the Dark City." Daniel looked at his proud disciple with great satisfaction. They? Jack vaguely felt a bit bad: "Who do you mean by ''they''..." "Actually, you understand." Daniel smiled, "Why pretend to be confused." He had experienced the "intelligence" of this disciple before. Would such a cautious boy simplify complex matters? He didn''t believe it. "..." Hearing this, Jack''s heart sank. It seemed that the most difficult thing was still the "plot kill"! "Alright, you don''t have to think too much. Right now, your strength is insufficient. The only thing is to become stronger." Daniel waved his hand and stopped chatting with Jack. Instead, he assigned the next task, "The main force defending the Dark City is still the skeleton soldiers. Your current strength is far beyond theirs. You should be able to teach them some enemy-fighting skills. Go." "Ding! ~" System prompt: Do you accept the task [Train the Skeleton Soldiers]? "Yes!" Jack chose to agree. [Train the Skeleton Soldiers] (Difficulty: C) Introduction: Skeleton soldiers have certain strength, but they are still weak when facing the elites of the Light Camp. Train them to make them stronger. Task requirements: Through teaching, let the skeleton soldiers learn new skills. Task quantity: 0/5000 ... After accepting the task, Jack logged off. He was just about to make some noodles to deal with his hunger, but he saw a message from Wang Kai: "Brother, let''s have spicy hot pot!" "Let''s go. I''ll treat. Let''s drink the gutter oil!" How could Jack refuse? He replied immediately. Because of Wang Kai''s unintentional inspiration, he thought of suggesting that Daniel recruit adventurers. So he felt that he must reward his good brother. Wang Kai: "..." Gutter oil? You said that and I don''t dare to eat now. "The old place?" "Yeah!" ... Put on casual clothes, use water as hair gel to tidy up his messy hair a little, Jack rushed out of the door. When he arrived at the previous barbecue shop, crossed the traffic light and walked a few steps, he reached the destination. Entering the spicy hot pot shop, Jack immediately saw Wang Kai already ordering food. He immediately took a basket and went to choose. "What happened this morning?" Wang Kai threw two pieces of instant noodles into the basket and asked with a smile, "I kiss your grandpa!" Jack explained: "Mainly, I encountered a problem in the game. While talking to you, I suddenly thought of a solution." "What problem? Let me hear it. I''m developing well in the game now. Maybe I can help." "Don''t worry. It''s solved already." "That''s good. By the way, what level are you now?" "Level twenty-something." "Really? Aren''t you one of the top few in the level ranking list?" Wang Kai was stunned. He originally wanted to show off, but he didn''t expect Jack''s level to be higher than his. Jack was a little curious: "What level are you?" "Level nineteen. The one named King''s Triumph at No. 39 in the ranking list is me." Wang Kai didn''t hide it from Jack, "Can you tell me your game ID now?" "This..." Jack hesitated for a moment and said: "Brother, I tell you, don''t spread it outside." He had always trusted Wang Kai. But the value of his unique hidden profession was too great. He was afraid that if someone with bad intentions knew about it, they would come and threaten him. So, he would have to choose to move secretly. "Am I that loose-lipped?" Wang Kai was both amused and confused. He didn''t understand why Jack was so cautious. It''s just a game ID. Is it that serious? Could it be that you think just a game ID could shock me? Jack whispered: "Actually... I''m One River Cold Water." "Oh, so you are One River..." Halfway through, Wang Kai suddenly froze and then shouted loudly: "Damn!!" One River Cold Water! The holder of this game ID has been the top topic of discussion in "Eternity" recently. It''s hard for him not to know. He never thought that his brother would be One River Cold Water. "Sir, please keep your voice down in the store." The boss reminded. Noticing that all the customers in the store were looking at him, Wang Kai smiled awkwardly: "OK. Sorry." After ordering the food, the two sat at a small table and talked in low voices. "Are you really One River Cold Water? Not kidding me?" Wang Kai murmured the name and finally reacted. One River Cold Water, Jack... His brother did the same as him, hiding his real name in the game ID. "Yeah." Jack nodded. "Then it seems I can''t help you in the game." Wang Kai smiled, "Since you are... him, then it''s indeed not suitable to tell others your game ID to avoid unnecessary trouble. Brother, you can rest assured here. It''s as if it was never mentioned." "I trust you." ... After having the spicy hot pot, it was already past seven when the two went home separately. Jack logged into the game and reappeared in the Dark City. A system chime rang in his ears - "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please note that the adventurers'' active help for the Dark City has aroused the dissatisfaction of the high-level of the Light Camp. They have decided to attack four days earlier for a quick victory! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please note that the adventurers'' active help for the Dark City has aroused the dissatisfaction of the high-level of the Light Camp. They have decided to attack four days earlier for a quick victory! ... The system chime that was broadcast three times in a row made Jack''s expression freeze instantly. Four days earlier! Doesn''t that mean... Tomorrow?! ... Moon Shards "Can a game event with a confirmed time be advanced?" Jack''s expression was solemn. This system message came too unexpectedly! "Could it be true, as the official stated in the email sent at the game''s launch, that all NPCs have their own stories and emotions, so they can actively change the seemingly decided plot development?" He found it hard to believe. Logically, most of the plots in ordinary games are designed. Can the NPCs in "Eternal" really act independently? Or was he overthinking it? Maybe it was because the official didn''t want players to help the Dark Camp, so they deliberately advanced it? Shaking his head, Jack cast aside distractions and continued the task. The advancement was indeed unexpected, but it wasn''t necessarily a bad thing. Now, very few players have obtained talents, and most ordinary players are still in the newbie village or just out of it. This reduces the number of participants in the event and lowers the unknown risks. Looking around, he saw many skeleton soldiers training. Presumably, because they were going to face the battle tomorrow, they were all in the preparation stage. "Sir!" Seeing Jack, they all straightened their skeleton frames, showing considerable respect. This was normal. After all, nominally, he was the disciple of the city lord, and his status was certainly not low. "Um." Jack nodded, and then gave the order: "The city lord asked me to train you. I hope you can learn new skills from me. You go and gather all the nearby skeleton soldiers." "Yes!" Upon receiving the order, they immediately carried it out. Soon, a large number of skeleton soldiers gathered and formed a circle around Jack, seemingly very expectant. "By the way, how should I teach them?" Jack had a strange expression. This was the first time he had experienced such a situation in the game and he didn''t know exactly how to do it. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You can demonstrate active skills for the skeleton soldiers to observe, so that they can learn new skills! (Note: Skeleton soldiers have low potential and cannot perfectly replicate. Therefore, there is no limit of teaching only once a week) Fortunately, the system gave a prompt at the right time. "By observing..." Jack opened the skill panel, looked from top to bottom, and finally his eyes lit up, focusing on Evil Trample. As an active skill, Evil Trample could be said to be the strongest means he had obtained so far. It had output, control, and could also be used to escape. Just as Daniel said, it was indeed a godly skill! Since the skeleton soldiers couldn''t perfectly replicate the skill, there was no need to hide Evil Trample. "Cough cough!" Jack cleared his throat and loudly said: "Watch carefully. Today I''ll teach you a very powerful move!" Saying that, he used Evil Trample, charged forward fiercely, then jumped high and stomped on the ground. "See? The essence of this move is to stomp!" Jack''s mouth suddenly couldn''t help but show a smile. Pretending to be serious, he said, "When encountering enemies, especially adventurers from the Light Camp, you must stomp hard, stomp them to death!"Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. Originally, he just wanted to complete the task. But during the teaching process, he suddenly felt the joy of being a "teacher". Somehow, he thought of the battle tomorrow. At that time, a bunch of skeleton soldiers would use skills similar to Evil Trample against the adventurers... The scene was too beautiful! Just imagining it made Jack full of interest. "Sir, can you demonstrate it again?" A skeleton soldier respectfully requested, "I didn''t see clearly just now." "OK." Jack naturally wouldn''t refuse. When the one-minute cooldown of Evil Trample ended, he used it again. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Through your teaching, 13 skeleton soldiers have comprehended the D-level skill [Stomping People]! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Through your teaching, 3 skeleton soldiers have comprehended the C-level skill [Trample]! ... Obviously, the comprehension of these skeleton soldiers was different. Therefore, the skill levels they obtained were also different. But the skill effect was indeed similar to Evil Trample, only the power was greatly reduced. "You have to remember, don''t use this move as a trump card. Only use it when your health is low." Jack reminded, "Use it as soon as the skill cooldown ends. Don''t save it!" "Ding! ~" System prompt: Through your teaching, 22 skeleton soldiers have decided to use [Stomping People] as the main enemy-targeting skill, and the usage frequency has greatly increased! "Right, that''s it. In tomorrow''s battle, you must perform well and let those stupid people from the Light Camp know how powerful we are!" Jack taught patiently. "Yes!" ... After teaching one batch, Jack changed locations and continued to teach, never getting tired. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on completing the task [Training Skeleton Soldiers]. You can go to your teacher to claim the task reward! Before he knew it, the task was completed. It was as refreshing as a spring breeze! This was his self-evaluation of this teaching. When returning to the city lord''s mansion, it was already late at night in the game. Jack saw that Daniel was not addicted to concocting potions as usual, but was sitting in the wide courtyard, silently looking at the bright and clear moon hanging high in the sky. "Teacher, I have completed the task." Jack walked forward and said softly. "Um." Daniel withdrew his thoughts and smiled: "Since the Light Camp has decided to attack tomorrow, I also thought you would choose to finish the task today." "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on completing the task [Training Skeleton Soldiers] and obtaining the reward: Unknown item [Fragment of the Moon]! This task was different from before. It didn''t give Jack a single bit of experience, and Daniel didn''t ask him what he needed. Fragment of the Moon? Jack quickly opened his backpack and found that there was an item in the shape of a crescent moon. The surface of the item was flashing with bright silver light. Just looking at the shape, he knew it was definitely not simple - [Fragment of the Moon] (Rank Unknown) Introduction: An unknown fragment, but it hides terrifying power Effect: Unconditionally grants the holder immunity to one fatal damage Cooldown: One month ... "!!" Jack took out the Fragment of the Moon, which was as crystal clear as white jade, from the backpack. He stared at it in a daze, unable to speak for a moment. He really couldn''t imagine that this would be the reward for an ordinary C-level difficulty task. Unconditionally grants the holder immunity to one fatal damage! This effect was already stronger than imagined. "Precisely because the rank is unknown, I can give it to you through a simple task." Seemingly knowing Jack''s confusion, Daniel explained with a smile. "..." Jack didn''t know what to say for a moment: "Thank you, teacher." What Daniel said, he naturally understood. Just as he couldn''t force Daniel to hand over equipment and items with the threat of the forbidden curse scroll before, there were rules and restrictions in the game. Rewards must be given to adventurers by completing tasks, and the rewards must be linked to the difficulty of the task! This also avoided strange situations where adventurers obtained artifacts and the like in the early stage of the game through methods that the official hadn''t envisioned. But... Being of unknown rank could exploit the loophole in the game. "The word fate is wonderful." Daniel looked at the bright moon, with a look of sigh: "Back then, I used the effect of the Fragment of the Moon to escape the pursuit of the strong. Before the cooldown ended, I met you, which gave you an opportunity and also made me accidentally accept a disciple." Jack asked curiously: "Why did you give it to me?" Because of the master-disciple relationship? How to put it? If the answer was really like this, it would be strange. After all, the two had only known each other for a few days. "Because my task has been completed and I must die. If it was going to be taken by those hypocrites from the Light Camp, why wouldn''t I choose to give it to you?" Daniel got up, patted Jack on the shoulder and reminded, "No need to be sad. Don''t forget what I said before. As long as you live long enough, we will meet again in the future." "Who exactly are you?" Jack really wanted to know the plot. Somehow, he had a hunch that the secret hidden in Daniel would be one of the so-called "main quests" in the game, but he still couldn''t trigger it. ... Activity Starts "Still the same sentence. When your strength is sufficient, all the mysteries will naturally disperse." Daniel shook his head, turned and left, "Remember, your main task tomorrow is to protect yourself." It seemed that in order not to give Jack the chance to pester, he entered the room of the mansion, closed the door and rested. Seeing this, Jack could only give up, summoned the system panel, and chose to log out of the game. Since the event was advanced by four days, it meant that at ten o''clock tomorrow, the Light Faction would be at the city gates. For tomorrow''s battle, he must conserve his energy today. After taking off the game helmet, Jack washed up and fell asleep peacefully. ... The next day, at half past nine. Washing his face with cold water to stay absolutely awake, Jack returned to the computer desk and put on the game helmet again. "Swish!" Accompanied by the white light, he appeared at the position where he logged out. At this time, the Gloomy City was bustling with noise. Besides the Skeleton Soldiers, players who signed up for defending the city could be seen everywhere. They formed teams and gathered in groups, discussing something. Jack: "..." The noisy and chaotic atmosphere made him a little uncomfortable. Looking at the endless stream of people filling the huge Gloomy City, he felt the popularity of "Eternal" for the first time. "Ding! ~" System prompt: The main quest [Defend the Gloomy City] you received will start at ten o''clock sharp. Please get ready! "Ding! ~" System prompt: The quest [Spoiling from the Middle] you received has been activated. If you fail to obtain the first place in the defending city points ranking, the Protection of the Ancient Demon Gods will be deprived! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please note that you will be the third wave of defending BOSS to face the Light Faction. If you are not present, your level will be reduced by 10 and all attributes will be permanently reduced by 1,000! ... A series of system prompts seemed to be increasing the pressure on Jack. "Yijianghanshui is online!" "Damn, I finally get to see the big shot in person. He''s quite handsome!" "Tsk tsk tsk. Now there are probably hundreds of millions of players in the entire game who want to kill him. I wonder if he''s panicking..." ... Jack''s online appearance naturally attracted the attention of countless players. After all, for most players, Jack was very famous, but his appearance was only seen in videos. It was inevitable to be curious. "Fortunately, I adjusted my appearance a little when creating the character." Jack felt a little relieved.Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. There were too many players! In this case, if he used his real appearance, he might be recognized on the street and cause trouble. "Brother, sign your name, brother!" "Big shot, how many levels are you now? I''m at level 18 and can''t see your character panel..." ... "Make way!" Ignoring all kinds of remarks, Jack pushed away the players surrounding him and squeezed onto the city wall. As the defending BOSS in the third wave, he didn''t plan to enter the battlefield in the first round. After all, once surrounded by players and½©³Ö until the end of the third wave, it would take too long and he would also be in trouble. This wasn''t a game he played alone! He deeply understood this point, so he was careful in everything. It was true that with his current strength, there should be few rivals among players. With the defense growth of up to five stars and the bonus of a bunch of silver-level equipment all over his body, it was a luxury for ordinary players to break his defense. But if some players had special opportunities and obtained top-quality items, everything would be different! There were always people stronger than you. There were always things beyond your knowledge! There were so many players in the Eastern District. He didn''t dare to believe that only he had the chance to obtain rare items like the Forbidden Spell Scroll. After that, time passed slowly until ten o''clock sharp. "Ding! ~" System prompt: The event officially starts! ... "Rumble... " At the end of the plain, dust gradually rose. Jack squinted and could see thousands of horses galloping over, with a huge momentum. In the blink of an eye, the view was black. They approached quickly. The adventurers and NPCs who were attacking the city were mixed together, densely packed, making people scared. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please note that the Qingfeng Army led by the level 20 bronze-level BOSS [Fighter ¡¤ Xazuo] will start the first wave of the siege battle! Looking from afar, Jack could see Xazuo, who was sitting on the horse and swinging the meteor hammer, with a full beard. He was wearing black armor and had a strong build, which was extremely prominent in the front of the battlefield. "Hahaha..." He laughed wildly and shouted: "What a shitty Gloomy City. We should have taken back our Skylight City long ago. Brothers, charge for me. Kill all those fools who betrayed the Light Faction and the disgusting Skeleton Soldiers!" Daniel, who was at the top of the city gate, raised his hand at the right time and shouted: "Fight back!" The Gloomy City, as a first-level main city, had an unimaginably thick and resilient city wall, which could withstand a large amount of attacks for a long time. But this didn''t mean that the defenders must rely on the city wall and not go out. Fight first, and the long-range professions above the city wall would support. Until they couldn''t resist the attack, they would turn to the city wall battle and gradually consume. Only in this way could the advantages of the defenders be maximized. "Clank clank... " The iron chains collided and the heavy city gate slowly opened. Skeleton Soldiers and adventurers rushed out like a tide, spreading out in a fan shape, directly towards the aggressive Qingfeng Army. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please note that as the silver-level BOSS in the third wave, you cannot enter the battlefield in advance! Before Jack could do anything, the system had already issued a warning in advance. Regarding this, Jack didn''t care. The first wave was just an appetizer. He wasn''t planning to enter the battlefield at all. "Jeje! Jeje!..." At the moment when the battle line approached, the Skeleton Soldiers at the front suddenly increased their speed and then jumped, actually kicking the enemies in front with their feet. "Boom boom boom..." A large number of players who were in the front were kicked down. Their faces were severely hit, bruised and swollen, extremely embarrassed. But this wasn''t the end. Before they could stand up, the next batch of Skeleton Soldiers rushed up and trampled them down again. Their pale toes moved around on their faces. "His--" For a moment, the sound of gasping in the entire battlefield came one after another. Many players covered their heads with their hands and stared at this scene blankly, expressing extreme shock. "Damn, don''t hit the face. These Skeleton Soldiers are too immoral, right?!" "So fierce Skeleton Soldiers. Fortunately, I''m on the defending side!" "So classic. I must record the screen and watch it repeatedly!" ... "Huh?" Just when countless players were intimidated by the trampling skill of the Skeleton Soldiers, Daniel on the city gate twitched the corner of his eye and couldn''t help but turn to Jack who was watching the battle not far away. This so-called trampling was a new skill in the panel of the Skeleton Soldiers. So who was the mastermind behind it? The answer was obvious. Noticing Daniel''s gaze, Jack turned back and showed him an innocent and bright smile. Such an evil smile! Daniel took a deep breath and admired: "Worthy of being the Dark Swordsman..." He thought his disciple was good in everything except being immoral! ... Archery Genius On the battlefield, such dramatic scenes were repeatedly staged, causing the mentality of many adventurers who signed up for the siege battle to collapse. "Fuck this!" "I and my friends have fought against these skeleton soldiers before. They weren''t this disgusting!" "Stop stepping. I''m vomiting!" ... Countless players cursed. If only one or two skeleton soldiers could step on people, they wouldn''t think it was a big deal. But almost all the skeleton soldiers were using this move, and constantly using it. Wave after wave, even the most resilient players would have a chance to be stepped down. Not to mention the damage, the face was really lost! As players, in reality, no one has ever messed with them like this... "Damn skeleton soldiers. Their attack methods are really despicable!" Xia Zuo, as the first wave BOSS, gritted his teeth and charged forward with a meteor hammer. Because his soldiers were riding horses, they weren''t as embarrassed as the adventurers. Jack, standing on the city wall, opened the defending point ranking list and could see that many adventurers were striving to get rich rewards and were attacking with all their strength - No Sleep (Points: 23) I Love Lace the Most (Points: 20) Beautiful as Flower (Points: 19) ... The battle had just begun, and the Qingfeng Legion''s health points were not low. It was impossible to be defeated so quickly. Then obviously, the defending adventurers could also gain points by killing the attacking adventurers. Everyone is competing for points. I can''t just wait, can I? Jack frowned slightly. Although he was confident of catching up later, for safety, he should try to get more points as much as possible. After all, the points were related to the final reward. Thinking for a while, he asked the archer player beside him who was shooting arrows crazily: "Brother, do you have a spare weapon?" "Uh..." The player was stunned and then nodded: "Yes, there is one. But you are a warrior class. Taking a bow won''t add attributes..." "It''s okay." Jack shook his head. "Just give me a bad one and ten tubes of arrows. I''ll pay ten silver coins." The setting of weapons in "Eternity" was quite user-friendly. For example, warriors taking bows and mages taking swords and other operations. Although they couldn''t get the bonus of the weapons and didn''t have corresponding skills, at least they could be equipped. It was like in reality. There was no reason that a swordsman couldn''t draw a bow. It was just that the archery skill wasn''t as good as that of a professional. "OK!" He agreed decisively. At present, one gold coin was worth more than ten thousand, and ten silver coins were more than one thousand. This deal was too good. In a few seconds, the two made a deal. Jack successfully got a wooden bow and ten tubes of arrows, equivalent to a hundred arrows.This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. [Wooden Bow] (White Board Grade) Attack: 6 - 8 Required Level: 5 Introduction: A bow made by a carpenter. It''s good to be usable ... Getting the wooden bow, Jack replaced his Cold Cloud Sword. The attack immediately dropped to 842 points. But it was still more than enough to deal with the first wave of NPCs and adventurers. Taking out the arrows, pulling the bowstring, and trying to aim at one of the players, Jack suddenly shot. "Whoosh!" The arrow drew a perfect parabola. Two seconds later, the target Jack aimed at... A player three meters beside him fell in a pool of blood. In a stunned expression, he was killed by the sudden arrow. -7758! The insta-kill didn''t surprise Jack. More than seven thousand damage could insta-kill even a level ten knight with five-star life growth. At this stage, few players could withstand it. At the same time, the system notification reminded Jack of getting the points - "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Congratulations on killing an adventurer of the Light Faction and getting 1 point! "Continue!" Seeing that the aiming position of the bow was different from what he imagined, Jack wasn''t discouraged. He continued to draw the bow and strive to get more points. This time, Jack aimed at an NPC riding a horse. "Whoosh!" The arrow shot out and an adventurer''s white light flew up and died. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Congratulations on killing an adventurer of the Light Faction and getting 1 point! Jack: "..." This... Obviously, the aiming of the wooden bow wasn''t good. Even if I had amazing talent in archery, I couldn''t control it easily. "Oh my god, such exaggerated damage!" However, the archer standing beside Jack was already stunned. It was the first time he saw a swordsman holding a bow could deal more than seven thousand damage. Taking a deep breath, Jack took out the third arrow, placed the arrow, hooked the string, pre-drew, drew the bow, and aimed... At this moment, the man and the arrow were one! Launch! Suddenly, the arrow shot out and the sound of breaking through the air was sharp. "Ah!" An adventurer who was shot in the back slowly fell down. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Please note that because you killed a defending adventurer, 1 point is deducted! "???" Daniel, who occasionally paid attention to his disciple, twitched the corner of his mouth: "This immoral guy. Does he even kill his own people?" "Oh!" Jack pursed his lips and completely gave up learning archery. Instead, he tried to shoot the arrows towards the crowded enemy area in the distance to avoid unnecessary friendly fire. Time passed slowly. Twenty minutes later, the number of Qingfeng Legions on the battlefield was getting smaller and smaller. Xia Zuo, the Contender, was still struggling. But under the constant wearing down of countless players, his health points gradually dropped and he was on the verge of death. "Must recapture... City of Heaven''s Light..." Xia Zuo roared feebly and then fell off the horse and died completely. Several bronze-grade equipment and more than ten silver coins dropped and were snatched by a bunch of players. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Congratulations to the adventurer [No Sleep] for successfully killing the Contender ¡¤ Xia Zuo and getting an additional 25 points! "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Please note that the Thunder Legion led by the level 25 Bronze Grade BOSS [Thunderous Battle Axe ¡¤ Angus] will start the second wave of the siege battle in five minutes! After the first wave of battle ended, Jack opened the point ranking list and saw that he was already on the list - No Sleep (Points: 129) Beautiful as Flower (Points: 68) Dragon Fights in the Wild (Points: 57) Jack Shui (Points: 51) ... It had to be said that the competition was quite fierce. Especially the first place, almost double that of the second place. "Only fifty-one points." Jack looked at his ranking and was a little helpless. If it weren''t for the wooden bow, he would at least be in the second place. Because just now during the process of shooting arrows, he roughly counted that he killed at least more than seventy people. Soon, five minutes passed. At the end of the plain, a large number of shield-bearing infantry and adventurers launched an attack again. However, this time the adventurers were smarter. They didn''t attack in front of the NPCs but chose to stay behind and let the NPCs resist the stomping of the skeleton soldiers at the beginning. "Jeer jeer -" The battle was triggered again and became deadlocked. But the NPC soldiers of the second wave were obviously much stronger than the first wave, causing the defenders to retreat step by step and gradually retreat to the position below the city gate. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Suddenly, dense arrow rains and colorful magic intersected and smashed down head-on, causing the health points of the frontline enemies to drop crazily and then die under the city. At this moment, the mages and archers finally came into real use. Jack, as one of the excellent archers, was also frantically getting points. This time, seeing that the enemy was at the city gate and occupied the majority, he didn''t look or aim. He just shot arrows. On the battlefield, the situation was complex. Occasionally, it was very normal to accidentally hurt one or two allies. Jack Shui, as the BOSS of the third wave, thought Jack''s behavior was understandable. ... Jack Appears "Brothers of the Thunderbolt Legion, kill!" The second wave of the siege BOSS, Angus, was full of killing intent. He held a huge axe as tall as a person and swept it from time to time. His violent attack methods turned the surrounding skeleton soldiers into bones all over the ground. "Retake the City of Sky Light with me!" "Kill -" With his charge, the attack of the NPCs became even more fierce. The first wave of skeleton soldiers who went out to fight couldn''t resist. The defense line was quickly broken through. For a moment, a large number of players who were melee classes died in battle, and white lights kept appearing one after another. This meant that their time as participants was over. Because before the siege battle ended, they couldn''t be resurrected and return to the battlefield. "Go out and fight!" Daniel gave the order decisively. Obviously, he wasn''t going to give the opponent a chance to reach the city gate after the first wave of defenders was defeated. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Adventurers, please note that the elite skeleton soldiers led by the 25-level silver-level BOSS ¡¾Skeleton General¡¿ will fight as the second wave of defenders! When the skeleton soldiers were no longer a threat, the system message rang in the ears of every attacking player. "Click click click..." The heavy city gate opened again. Compared to just now, the skeleton soldiers with slightly stronger strength, led by a huge skeleton general holding a big sword, swarmed out and held off the aggressive Thunderbolt Legion. "Jeer! Jeer!..." Those skeleton soldiers immediately used the C-level skill Trample that Jack taught, trampling rows of NPCs and players to the ground. "Again?" The attacking adventurers were shocked and quickly backed away, afraid of making a fool of themselves and being recorded by others. While Jack was constantly shooting arrows, he was also keeping an eye on the battlefield. He found that Angus was also pushed to the ground among countless Tramples. It wasn''t until more than ten seconds later that he struggled to get up. "Damn skeleton soldiers, your attack methods are so despicable!" The scarred Angus was furious. Just as he was about to swing the big axe, his vision darkened. The sunlight was blocked by the huge skeleton general. "Screech..." The big sword fell, and Angus was split in two. In the cruel and bloody scene, he died completely. Both at level 20, the silver-level skeleton general was much stronger than Angus. Plus, Angus had lost too much blood from the soldiers and was killed in one sword strike. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Because ¡¾Thunderbolt Axe ¡¤ Angus¡¿ was killed by the skeleton general, the points reward is cancelled! The skeleton general belongs to the NPC and naturally can''t get points. This was something Jack, who couldn''t enter the battlefield, was happy to see. "Sir!" "It''s over. The sir was actually killed!" ... As soon as the general died, the morale of the Thunderbolt Legion dropped sharply, and the situation reversed. In just over ten minutes, they all became corpses on the battlefield. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please note that the new elite legion led by the 35-level silver-level BOSS ¡¾Angry Soldier ¡¤ Karo¡¿ will start the third wave of the siege battle in two minutes! "Oh my, it''s directly jumped to the 35-level silver BOSS. Shouldn''t it be level 30?"The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. "It seems that the difficulty has skyrocketed since the third wave!" ... "Angry Soldier ¡¤ Karo?" Jack put away his bow and saw the name of the third-wave BOSS shown in the system prompt. He was slightly surprised. This name, he was all too familiar with! Is it the same name or the same person? Before long, a large number of adventurers and NPCs from the distance formed a battle line and pressed forward. The leader held a silver sword and moved like the wind under his feet. The moment he charged into the crowd, the cold light danced wildly, causing many players to die with a black screen. -6770! -7423! -7371! ... The high damage jumped out, meaning his attack was quite powerful. "Jeer!" Seeing the other party killing wantonly, the skeleton general lifted the big sword and went up to fight with him. But as a 35-level silver-level BOSS, Karo''s attributes were much higher than the latter. The skeleton general was easily suppressed, and his health points dropped rapidly. Jack narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is it really him?" As an NPC in the novice village who gave him the opportunity to be one step ahead of the vast majority of players, how could his impression not be deep. He put away his bow. Seeing that the skeleton general couldn''t hold on for long, he was ready to enter the battlefield. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Because ¡¾Skeleton General¡¿ was killed by Angry Soldier ¡¤ Karo, the points reward is cancelled! The ending wasn''t too surprising. The skeleton general struggled for a few minutes under Karo''s fierce attack and was finally chopped into bones. After that, the situation changed again. Karo''s attributes far exceeded the tolerance range of the current mainstream players. One sword strike killed one player, and the damage values caused by the players were basically a few points, which was of little significance. The new elite legion led by him also surpassed the elite skeleton soldiers in all aspects. "Apprentice!" Daniel, who was keeping an eye on the battlefield, turned his vision and looked at Jack. "Remember, your goal is to protect yourself and don''t be carried away by the killing." "Yeah!" Jack nodded, feeling warm in his heart. Honestly, no matter what purpose Daniel was hiding, he had been very good to his apprentice. "Well... go." Daniel''s tone was solemn. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Adventurers, please note that the skeleton knights led by the 28-level silver-level BOSS ¡¾Dark Control ¡¤ YiJack Shui¡¿ will fight as the third wave of defenders! The next second, the system sent a message. All the adventurers on the attacking side were invigorated and had uncontrollable greedy looks in their eyes. Finally, the main character appeared. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please note that you need to hold on for at least twenty minutes before you can retreat into the city! At the same time, a system message that only Jack could hear rang in his ears. Twenty minutes! It could be seen that the game rules didn''t want him to easily escape this disaster. "Click click click..." The city gate opened for the third time. Jack led the skeleton knights and walked out with the Cold Cloud Sword under the convergence of countless lines of sight. "Screech..." Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and the dagger drew a shocking arc. Jack seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He bent his knees and waist, perfectly avoiding the attack that intended to pass his neck. Then he turned around and thrust the sword, taking the opponent away. "Damn!" The thief who attacked sneakily was stunned. He never thought that his sudden attack would be avoided by the other party. "President, YiJack Shui has come out!" "Quickly surround him and block the city gate. Don''t let him go back easily!" "The reward for the first place on the attacking side of the Light Faction is less than that of the defending side. It''s inevitable because the real reward isn''t only for the first place..." ... When Jack led the skeleton knights riding skeleton horses out and the city gate closed, a large number of players on the defending side completely blocked the city gate. It could be seen that they came prepared and joined the defending side specifically for Jack''s head, planning to cooperate from both inside and outside. Regarding this, Jack wasn''t too concerned. When the time was up and he really wanted to return to the city, these players couldn''t stop him. -1! MISS! -1! ... A bunch of damage that didn''t break the defense or was directly exempted popped up. The next second, countless adventurers surrounded Jack tightly. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Because the number of adventurers gathered around you exceeds 3000, your tenacity is enhanced, and your health points increase by an additional 50%! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Because the number of adventurers gathered around you exceeds 5000, your tenacity is greatly enhanced, and your final health points increase by an additional 100%! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Because the number of adventurers gathered around you exceeds 8000, your tenacity is extremely enhanced, and your final health points increase by an additional 200%! ... The system bells rang one after another, eventually making Jack''s health points exceed 140,000. 140,000! This was already the health points that a real BOSS should have. There was no doubt that the game had its hidden rules. When the number of players increased, the health and tenacity of the BOSS would increase. The super thick health would increase the difficulty of killing the BOSS, and the tenacity would reduce the hit effect of control skills. This rule reasonably limited players from using the human sea tactic to hard brush the BOSS that couldn''t be dealt with at the current stage, thereby breaking the game balance. "Screech..." Jack swept his sharp sword. The moment the two people in front touched the blade, they turned into white lights and were killed instantly without any doubt. -11475! -22584! The two damage values over 10,000 stunned a large number of players. Especially the second one, because of the critical hit, the damage doubled. "This damage... Damn, has YiJack Shui really become a BOSS?!" "The players in the top ten of the level ranking posted his attribute panel. Over 1,300 attack. Is this what a level 28 player should have?" "Brothers, for the only hidden profession, kill!" ... Where Jack''s vision reached, the adventurers came like a tide! ... Helpless Rage "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on killing an adventurer of the Light Camp and obtaining 1 point of score! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on killing an adventurer of the Light Camp and obtaining 1 point of score! ... Jack''s sword rose and fell. The captivating cold light left corpses on the ground. "Stun me!" Suddenly, several thief players attacked simultaneously from all directions. Jack dodged some of them, but was inevitably hit by some. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You were hit by Leng Leng De Bing Yu''s [Chisel Strike], stunned for 0.05 seconds, and lost 3 hit points! "Ding! ~" System prompt: You were hit by Don''t Stop Me''s [Chisel Strike], stunned for 0.02 seconds, and lost 2 hit points! Regarding this, Jack wasn''t surprised at all. The more players gathered around him, the more terrifying the toughness and additional hit points bonus the system gave him. Coupled with the originally huge gap, it was pure fantasy for them to rely on control skills like chisel strike to stun him infinitely. "Damn, stun for 0.05 seconds. Are we playing the same game?" Many thief players had dark faces. They were all players and entered the game at the same time, grinding hard day and night. But the gap was so large that even their signature control skills were almost immune. Anyone would feel bad. Of course, they probably never thought that Jack received the protection of the demons and was already different from ordinary players. He had completely integrated into the perspective of NPCs and had an identity different from ordinary adventurers. "Everyone spread out. Too many players will make him stronger. We need to go in waves!" Occasionally, a rational player made a suggestion, but unfortunately, there was no possibility of it being realized. Everyone was here for the only one reward. They weren''t on the same front and no player was willing to sacrifice themselves for others. "Whoosh..." At a certain moment, a sharp edge emerged from the crowd, reached Jack, and pierced his chest. -5001! Jack felt a pain in his chest and his hit points visibly decreased by a section. Fortunately, there were enough adventurers around. Otherwise, this sword could have deducted one-tenth of his hit points. The sword blade pierced Jack''s chest. Karo grinned: "One River Cold Water, do you still remember me?" Scouting Skill!Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. [Angry Soldier ¡¤ Karo] (Silver-level BOSS) Level: 35 Hit Points:??? Attack: 800 - 850 Defense: 420 - 450 Skills: [Combo Strike] [Advanced Sword Skill] [Silver Light Sword Edge] [Frenzy] Introduction: Originally a guard soldier in the novice village, doing nothing and achieving nothing. By chance, he received the help of the village chief and grew into a rather powerful figure in the town ... "Remember." Jack''s expression was indifferent, not as playful as usual. While checking the other party''s attribute panel, he nodded in response: "A money-grabbing fool." Originally, he didn''t want to go back on his word. But the other party''s excessive greed completely angered him, causing him to abandon the idea of abiding by the contract. Although he didn''t know what method Brandi used to make a soldier from the novice village rise to the level of a level 35 silver-level BOSS so quickly, he didn''t care. Since he came, cut him down! "You!" Karo''s face changed drastically: "You scoundrel who violated the contract and still dare to talk nonsense?!" "Why not dare?" Jack sneered, "Have the ability to kill me. Please do." Would his conscience be condemned for violating a strange and unreasonable contract? Such a person would be too kind! He could only say that he chose the right camp in the Dark Camp! "Please? Hahaha..." Understanding the sarcasm, Karo laughed angrily: "Die for me!" He pulled the sharp sword out of Jack''s chest and then slashed out several cold lights. Facing the other party''s highly damaging skills, Jack chose to ignore them. First, he used the Undead Grasp to control the other party, and then followed up with the Wild Slash, taking away more than 30,000 of the other party''s hit points. The two were completely fighting desperately. Their hit points were plummeting, making the adventurers beside them stunned. "Are they really pissed off?" "Is One River Cold Water stupid? After all, it''s a silver-level NPC and has much thicker hit points. Isn''t exchanging hit points not worth it?" "Doesn''t he know he''s doomed and wants the NPC to take the reward?" ... While outputting damage, those adventurers were uncertain and suspicious. In just two minutes, Jack''s hit points bottomed out. "Is this all you got?" Karo, who was in a much better state than Jack, was full of disdain. Hearing this, Jack didn''t turn back. The Cold Cloud Sword extended to the side and instantly killed an approaching adventurer. "Whoosh!" Jack felt a warmth all over his body and a golden light flew up. Level 29! At the same time, his hit points were fully restored. Players: "..." With one level-up, all the damage the players caused earlier was in vain. "Yes, this is all I have." Jack replied lightly, not bothering to refute. Yesterday, after completing the task, he had accumulated a lot of experience. Coupled with shooting the adventurers on the city tower earlier and fighting the enemies now, he was just a little short of leveling up. All of this, he had already calculated. Otherwise, he wouldn''t exchange hit points without reason. "You..." Karo''s face suddenly became ugly, feeling that he was played by the other party. "You are still the same Karo I knew, without any change." Jack taunted while attacking, "Great!" He didn''t like to talk nonsense during battles, but provocation was important. It could make people angry and lose their reason, just like the water unicorn he fought against in the talent trial. Of course, if the enemy he met had a strong enough heart and wasn''t disturbed by words, he would definitely not say a word. But Karo was definitely not in that category. "Die for me!" Sure enough, Karo fell into the trap. His eyes were filled with blood vessels and he roared as he charged towards Jack desperately. "Whoosh..." He brandished the silver sharp sword and slashed out several horizontal sharp sword auras towards the front. Evil Trample! Unfortunately, this time Jack didn''t want to exchange hit points mindlessly with him. He jumped up suddenly, avoiding the sword auras. At the same time, he kicked Karo to the ground. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You used [Evil Trample] and dealt 13,547 damage to Angry Soldier ¡¤ Karo. Successfully interrupted the skill and caused the suppression effect, making the opponent unable to move for one second! With Jack''s level increase, the suppression effect of Evil Trample finally played its due role. Even though Karo was a silver-level BOSS and was much higher level than Jack, he still managed to control. Necro Slash! Undead Grasp! Wild Slash! A perfect combination of control and output once again caused Karo''s hit points to plummet sharply. Then, Jack backed away a certain distance and without hesitation, drank a mouthful of health potion to ensure his hit points were at a very healthy level. Getting up from the ground, Karo gritted his teeth: "Today, you must pay the price for what you have done!" Player Expert Helpless Rage! Facing Jack''s taunts, Carlo was so furious that he roared: "All adventurers back off. There are too many of you, it will only increase his life and toughness!" As the attacking side, he was also surrounded by many defending adventurers. Naturally, he understood what kind of buff Jack received. "..." However, no one responded to his suggestion. The attacking adventurers looked at each other and finally chose to keep attacking. Arrow rain and magic frantically hit Jack. Unfortunately, the damage caused was negligible. You should know that the attack distance of ranged professions is only accurate within a range of 50 meters. If the distance is too far, both archers and magic are extremely difficult to hit the opponent. So, it''s simply not realistic to have the attacks of tens of thousands of people on the battlefield all land on Jack. With the power of death, even if he wasn''t out of combat, his recovery was about 140 points per second. Plus, he occasionally took a bottle of life potion. The attacks of ordinary players were not to be feared at all. "You guys..." Carlo looked around at the adventurers who ignored him, his face turning purple with anger. "Thirty seconds. Your rage lasts for thirty seconds." Standing in the protective circle of the Skeleton Knight, Jack continued to exert verbal pressure. Hearing this, Carlo became even more annoyed and charged straight at Jack with the silver sword: "Damn Skeleton Knight, get out of my way!" "Twenty seconds!" "Ten seconds!" ... Carlo was furious and had no reason. He stared at Jack fixedly: "You are too noisy!" Evil Trample! Seeing that the buff of the rage ended, Jack made a decisive move. With the five-star speed growth, before the opponent could react, he was stepped under his feet. -14786! After that, it was a complete set of skill connections that made Carlo''s health bar bottom out. "Let me go!" Carlo, who was stepped under Jack''s feet, looked desperate. Changing his previous arrogant attitude, he begged hard: "For the sake of the equipment and skills I gave you before, please let me go!" "Chirp!" The response to him was the sound of the sword passing through the neck. The sword wielder was indifferent. Let go? Impossible! Coming for revenge specifically for twenty thousand gold coins showed his narrow mind and vengeful nature. Now, being taunted in various ways, he must be extremely angry in his heart. Letting him go would be creating unnecessary troubles for himself later! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on killing the third wave BOSS of the attacking side [Angry Soldier ¡¤ Carlo] and obtaining 500 additional points!This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Congratulations on killing the level 35 silver-level BOSS [Angry Soldier ¡¤ Carlo] and obtaining the rewards: Reputation + 2000, Experience + 300,000! With Carlo''s death, three pieces of equipment burst out on the ground. Jack quickly picked them up and had no time to check the attributes. After taking a mouthful of life potion, he continued to deal with the surging adventurers. Glancing at the time, Jack roughly estimated that he still needed to hold on for thirteen minutes! Taking a deep breath, he held the Cold Cloud Sword tightly and killed the adventurers around him like cutting wheat, killing with each sword. ... On the city tower, Daniel, who was constantly observing the battle process between Jack and Carlo, had a look of relief in his eyes: "I believe when I resurrect, you will surely be a powerful figure famous in the Tianheng Continent..." After saying that, he seemed to sense something, narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance: "Brandi, you really haunt me!" He could sense that there was a breath similar to his strength in the distance. But due to the rule restrictions, he couldn''t appear for the time being. ... Two minutes... Four minutes... Time passed bit by bit. There were shouts of killing under the city. Countless eyes focused on Jack. "It feels like we can''t kill him at all. We are just giving him experience!" "Forget it. I give up, young master." "I don''t believe that none of us can break his defense. I have a hunch that the big shots are all hidden in the crowd waiting for an opportunity to act!" ... Unable to cause effective damage for a long time, many players became bored. "It''s finally my turn to be in the front row!" At a certain moment, when there were piles of corpses beside Jack, a man carrying a fiery red greatsword appeared in front of him. The man''s equipment was much more upscale than the surrounding players and his eyes were somewhat fanatical. Jack frowned slightly and could vaguely feel some pressure from the man. Sure enough, there were no shortage of experts among the players! Detection Skill! [Autumn Wind Wutong] (Red Flame Swordsman) Level: 25 Life: 20,070 Attack: 705 - 752 Defense: 353 - 377 Skills: [Flame Slash] [Dance of the Flame Dragon] [Guard of the Flame God] [Rage of the Red Flame] ... Red Flame Swordsman? Jack was quite surprised. There was no doubt that this person, like him, belonged to a hidden profession. "You already have a hidden profession. Why do you still need to trouble me?" Jack asked. Come to think of it, this was the first time he encountered other hidden professions. He was quite interested in the strength and skills of the opponent''s profession. Autumn Wind Wutong pointed the greatsword at Jack and smiled: "A piece of insider news. In the case of having a hidden profession yourself, if you choose to give up other hidden professions, the game''s rewards will be replaced with other equivalent rewards." "So that''s it." Jack nodded. "And, I''m also quite interested in your personal strength. SS-level talent. It''s really enviable..." Saying that, he charged at Jack and suddenly had strands of flames emerging from his body. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Autumn Wind Wutong used the skill [Rage of the Red Flame]. All attributes increase by 25% for two minutes. As a price, the level will be reduced by 10 after the skill ends! "..." Jack saw the effect description of Rage of the Red Flame and frowned slightly. This skill was similar to his Dark Cycle that could only be used at level 50. Although compared to it, the boost of Rage of the Red Flame was relatively poor and the duration was shorter. But the 25% increase in all attributes also made him reach Carlo''s strength level. "Take this!" Autumn Wind Wutong raised the fiery red greatsword. When slashing down, the blade was filled with intense flames and the power was considerable. Seeing the greatsword slashing down, Jack''s expression was calm. Standing in place, he didn''t dodge and endured the damage of this sword. "Chirp!" The greatsword landed on Jack''s shoulder, causing over ten thousand damage. "Ding! ~" System prompt: You were attacked by Autumn Wind Wutong''s [Flame Slash] and received 10,578 damage! "Awesome!" "An expert appeared!" "There are so many experts in the Eastern Region. It''s definitely not just him. Let''s just try to get the final blow." ... Seeing someone dealing high damage, all players saw the hope of killing YiJack Shui. "It''s my turn." Jack replied calmly. His movement speed suddenly increased several times. He kicked up, fiercely kicking Autumn Wind Wutong in the face, and then pressed down, smashing him hard into the ground. Evil Trample! -8547! "Suppressed for 2 seconds?" Before Autumn Wind Wutong had time to be angry about the damage to his face, seeing the effect, his expression changed directly. Such a long control was quite deadly! "Ding! ~" System prompt: Autumn Wind Wutong used the skill [Guard of the Flame God]. Defense increases by 30% for five seconds! Wild Slash! Jack''s four consecutive strikes landed. "!!" Autumn Wind Wutong saw that his health was only 23 points left and broke out in a cold sweat. He was about to roll and dodge. In his vision, a large purple-black energy hand appeared and grabbed him. It was clearly the Hand of the Undead. "Again?" Seeing that he was unable to move again, his face turned livid. "Such a damn disgusting control!" ... Cant Get Out of Character " Tianyuqihua, if you don''t come and help me, I''m really done for!" At a critical moment, he shouted loudly. "Swish!" In the next second, milky-white light flew out from the crowd and rushed into his body, causing green numbers to pop up. +25,088! -18,758! The sudden healing directly filled Qiufengwutong''s health, causing Jack''s Necrotic Slash to fail to kill him. "Humph!" A beautiful woman in a white robe walked out of the crowd. Her game ID was Tianyuqihua and her profession was the Holy Priest. She snorted and said: "I thought you could fight alone. Do you know that the Holy Healing has a cooldown of seven days for each use?" "Another hidden profession?" Jack frowned slightly. Qiufengwutong scrambled and escaped Jack''s attack range and said: "All the priests on the battlefield heal me. I''ll first reduce him to low health, and then everyone will rely on luck for the final blow!" "How could we compete with you?" "But at least we can''t let Yijianghanshui return to the city alive, right?" "Trust him once. Reduce him to low health first!" ... "Swish swish swish..." Suddenly, Qiufengwutong''s health was forcibly filled up. "Let''s do it again!" He looked at Yijianghanshui. "Have the ability to kill me in one shot!" With dozens of priests behind him constantly healing him, he didn''t believe Jack could kill him instantly. "Wrong." Jack shook his head: "Have the ability to deal 140,000 damage to me within two minutes." Two minutes later, the opponent''s buff ended and his level dropped by 10. Jack could easily kill him. He didn''t need to pay attention to the opponent''s provocation. "This..." Qiufengwutong was stunned and then immediately rushed forward with his sword. Seeing this, Jack turned and rushed into the group of players, relying on the blocking of other players to consume time. "Very good. Not impulsive!" Daniel on the city tower smiled and nodded. Combat was never mindless hacking. Only those who could see the situation clearly could be called strong. Two minutes later, Qiufengwutong''s level dropped to level 14 and his strength plummeted. Jack raised the Cold Cloud Sword and directly killed him, and then took down Tianyuqihua. "Chiyan Swordsman... Holy Priest..." Jack confirmed that the threat was lifted and felt relieved: "There are indeed many experts among the players in the Eastern District." "Swish!" After a moment, golden light flew up. Level 30! The experience given by Kairo and the killing of a large number of adventurers caused Jack''s level to increase again. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please note that the Ice Army led by the level 50 gold-level BOSS [Ice Mage ¡¤ Jennifer] will start the fourth wave of the siege battle in one minute!Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Please note that the Flame Army led by the level 80 obsidian-level BOSS [Flame Mage ¡¤ Brandy] will start the fifth wave of the siege battle in one minute! ... When the New Hero Army under Kairo showed signs of decline, system bells rang one after another in Jack''s ears. "Start two waves of attacks at the same time?" "You''re stupid. It''s obvious that the following is the plot. The activities for adventurers are basically over!" "I said, how could there be an 80-level obsidian BOSS!" ... The players discussed animatedly. "Yijianghanshui, come back." Daniel on the city tower shouted loudly, "The following battles are not something you can participate in." "Okay!" Jack immediately turned and returned. Although adventurers could bring him a lot of experience, he wasn''t so dizzy with the pleasure of leveling up that he lost his sense of propriety. "Chichi chi..." He killed one player with one sword among those blocking below the city gate. Although points would be deducted, it didn''t matter. On the defending city points ranking, he was already far ahead - Yijianghanshui (Points: 11,099) Wuxinsleep (Points: 1,029) Ruhuameijuan (Points: 776) Longzhanyuye (Points: 774) ... "Hehe..." Suddenly, a player on the defending side blocked in front of him, with a sneer on his face: "Everything is as I expected. Currently, it''s extremely difficult for players to kill you by ordinary means." Wuxinsleep? The one in second place on the points ranking? Glancing at the other party''s game ID, Jack said calmly: "If you don''t want to lose levels, get out of the way!" "Why the hurry?" Wuxinsleep seemed not to hear and took out a purple scroll from his backpack: "Now, can you still be so arrogant?" Looking at the scroll in his hand, Jack wasn''t panicked: "It''s true. There are hundreds of millions of players in the Eastern District. There will always be someone lucky enough to get the Forbidden Spell Scroll." "Rip..." Wuxinsleep tore the scroll and had a confident expression: "Yijianghanshui, no matter how powerful you are, can you withstand the terrifying power of the Forbidden Spell Scroll?" "Boom!!! " When the scroll was torn, purple light shot up into the sky and turned into a thick thundercloud. Dense thunderbolts circulated within it and became more and more intense, ready to explode at any moment. "Ding! ~" System prompt: Player Wuxinsleep used the Forbidden Spell Scroll [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder], dealing 2,000,000 fixed damage to all units within a 500*500 range centered on himself! ... "Click--" Thunderbolts as thick as buckets fell crazily, killing adventurers in a large area. At a certain moment, a thunderbolt struck Jack. "Boom!!" Amid the violent explosion, Jack''s figure was submerged by the purple thunderbolt. The soil around was smoking and sparks were flying. The destructive power was very terrifying. "Sorry, the only hidden profession is mine!" Wuxinsleep laughed loudly. With a full two million damage, he didn''t believe Jack could withstand it. "Really?" Daniel, who was standing beside Jack at some point, waved his staff to disperse the electric light. His clothes were charred and he looked a little embarrassed but wasn''t severely injured: "I can''t ignore your attack on the many adventurers defending the Gloomy City!" "..." The smile on Wuxinsleep''s face froze. His eyes widened and he stared blankly at the intact Yijianghanshui. As if losing his balance, he took two steps backward. After his face alternated between pale and red, it was replaced by a fierce expression: "Damn it!" The Forbidden Spell Scroll! That was the Forbidden Spell Scroll! It was a treasure he could use to get the first kill of gold-level! In order to obtain the only hidden profession, he used it to bombard Yijianghanshui. But the result was blocked by an NPC?! "Whoosh!" Daniel raised his staff and a black light shot out from the gem on the top, instantly killing Wuxinsleep: "Sorry, my mother was buried tens of thousands of years ago." "Mentor, even if I took it head-on, I might not die." Jack said. He never thought that Daniel would help him block the Forbidden Spell. "It''s okay." Daniel shook his head and smiled: "I will eventually die. The Moon Fragment is very precious. Don''t waste it randomly to avoid being on cooldown at a critical moment." "Tsk tsk tsk..." Suddenly, a hoarse but piercing voice suddenly sounded: "What a deep teacher-student relationship. So touching." Jack turned around and saw an old man in a red robe and an old woman in a blue robe approaching quickly. It was the old man in the red robe who spoke. "The enmity of the past. Today, you will surely pay the price!" His expression was gloomy and his tone was full of killing intent. [Flame Mage ¡¤ Brandy] (Obsidian-level BOSS) Level:??? Health:??? Attack:??? Defense:??? Skills:??? Introduction:??? ... Although for some reason Brandy dropped from spirit-level to obsidian-level. As an 80-level BOSS, the strength gap between Brandy and Jack was still huge at present. Therefore, except for the name, all the panels of the opponent were question marks. The gold-level BOSS Kant, holding a long spear and riding a skeleton horse, walked out of the city gate and persuaded: "Yijianghanshui, leave this to me and the city lord to deal with. You go and rest in the city first!" "Hide." Daniel reminded in a low voice, "I''ll deal with them with Kant." "..." Jack was speechless. He looked at Daniel and then at Kant. His emotions rolled and suddenly his nose felt a little sour. Damn, you all dare to say you are from the Dark Faction like this? "Mentor, leave Brandy to you." Jack took a deep breath and regained his composure. "Kant, you and I will deal with this old woman together!" Perhaps, he could escape with his life by returning to the city. Perhaps, hiding was the best choice. But... At this moment, although he knew this was a game, he... couldn''t get out of the scene! ... What Are You Pretending To Be Gorgeous elemental magic roared below the city, and the rain of arrows continued. "Kill -" In the distance, the two legions led by Brandy and Jennifer charged with an unstoppable momentum. Those soldiers were all level 40 or 50 elite monsters, with attributes far surpassing the defending adventurers and the Skeleton Knights. They could basically take out one with two or three strikes, making the situation one-sided. "What''s the point of resisting this!" "These are not NPCs we can deal with now. Farewell!" "Persisting any further would be a waste of the hard-earned levels. I won''t watch the event plot for now. Logging out." ... The players who chose the defending side began to have the intention to retreat. The following battles had little impact on the point ranking. In their opinion, there was no need to resist stubbornly. Of course, some players persisted because the city wall hadn''t been broken, and the plot battle between the NPCs hadn''t started yet. They still held a glimmer of hope to defend the Dark City. "Old woman?" Below the city gate, Jennifer, wearing a blue robe and with wrinkles all over her face, showed a trace of anger: "The Dark Swordsman who hasn''t grown up yet is already so wild?" "Heh!" Jack couldn''t help but sneer: "Do I need to call you granny to satisfy you?" Knowing that the visitors were not friendly, if he was still polite, it would be too hypocritical. "You..." Jennifer was furious: "Sharp-tongued!" "You go and hide in the safe area in the city and wait for the evacuation time!" Daniel said solemnly, "Listen to me this time!" "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Do you accept the quest [Avoid the Edge for Now]? "No!" Jack immediately refused without hesitation. "There''s still a chance." His eyes were deep and he looked straight at Daniel, "Trust me!" The overall situation is settled? Perhaps it was indeed so in the eyes of other players, but he could still see a glimmer of possibility. "... " Hearing this, Daniel''s expression hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth: "Alright. If you want to fight, how could the mentor back down first. You deal with the old woman. I''ll handle this turtle grandson Brandy!" "OK!" Jack nodded. "You guys..." Jennifer, who was called old woman repeatedly, had an ugly expression and a few more wrinkles appeared on her face: "Brandy, leave this kid to me. You go and kill Daniel!" Daniel was powerful and she naturally didn''t dare to be presumptuous. But such a mere silver-grade ant, she didn''t take it seriously. "OK." Brandy, who had long been unable to hold back his killing intent, didn''t think it was inappropriate. In his opinion, he wasÎÈѹ Daniel. Jennifer dealing with the Undead Knight Canter and Jack Shui would only be easier than him and impossible to lose. "Retreat to the city first!" Daniel shouted. As the defending side, how could they give up the strong city wall!Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Now, if the city gate was opened, the enemy legion would take the opportunity to enter and they would lose the advantage instead. Canter and Jack understood and retreated into the city without hesitation. "Click click click..." When the Skeleton Soldiers distributed in various corners of the city tower saw this, they immediately planned to close the city gate. Seeing this, Jennifer and Brandy looked at each other. Before the city gate was closed, they resolutely rushed into the city. It wasn''t that they didn''t want to stop the city gate from closing. The problem was that the Dark City was a level one main city. Although the closing speed of the city gate wasn''t fast, if someone blocked in the middle, the weight was enough to crush even Earth-level or Heaven-level powerhouses. Trying to stop it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. However, they weren''t panicked because they were deep in the enemy camp. After all, there was no terrifying aura in the city, indicating that there were no hidden unknown powerhouses. Of course, if there were Heaven-level or above powerhouses, they wouldn''t be able to sense it. But if there were really powerhouses of that level, there was no need to hide. MISS! MISS! ... When the two entered the city, many players of long-range occupations tried to attack. But the problem wasn''t whether the defense was broken or not. It was that the damage was directly immune. "Whoosh!" Daniel raised his pale bone-like staff and summoned a dark energy ball that shot out. "Is this all your strength?" Brandy sneered. He waved the fiery red staff in his hand and created a shield formed by the convergence of fire elemental energy in front of him, perfectly blocking it. Seeing Daniel and Brandy fighting, Jack turned his head to Canter: "You attack from the front. I''ll support." The opponent was ultimately a level 50 Gold BOSS. With his current attributes, there was a high probability of being insta-killed. Canter had to attract the hatred. "No problem!" Canter nodded and then urged the Skeleton Horse to charge towards Jennifer. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Undead Knight ¡¤ Canter used the skill [Charge], movement speed +35%, and knocked away the first enemy unit it touched. The duration is ten seconds! "Humph!" Jennifer didn''t dare to slack off. She waved her staff, making the cold air overflow and quickly created a crystal clear ice wall in front of her to resist the charge. "Bang!" The Skeleton Horse hit the ice wall heavily, causing the ice wall to break. But the effect of the charge was also disrupted. Evil Trample! Jack quickly approached. At the side, he seized the opportunity and resolutely stepped forward, trying to kick the opponent''s head to suppress and create an attacking opportunity for Canter. "Slap!" However, Jennifer casually raised her left hand, blocking the flying right foot. Her feet didn''t move at all. -1! The negligible damage popped up, full of irony. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: Your skill [Evil Trample] was blocked and dealt 1 damage to the enemy! "!!" Jack''s pupils contracted sharply. The strength of a level 50 Gold BOSS could reach the point of catching Evil Trample with bare hands? "Evil Trample is quite strong. But... you are too weak!" Jennifer sneered, grabbed the calf with her backhand, turned and threw it backward. Immediately, Jack lost his balance and hit the rear city wall like a broken kite and rolled down embarrassingly. "Bang!" Although Jack tried his best to protect his head, the heavy impact still made his eyes see stars. "Ding! ~" System Prompt: You were attacked by the Ice Mage ¡¤ Jennifer and lost 22,887 health points and were stunned for 3 seconds! It was just an ordinary attack. Even without using the weapon to add any magic damage, there was still a bright red and eye-catching five-digit number on Jack! You should know that when entering the city, there were no large numbers of enemy adventurers to give bonuses around. Jack''s health was only over fifty thousand. One normal attack severely wounded him. It indicated that Jennifer''s attack power without the bonus of the weapon was at least over two thousand! "It''s over. Jack Shui will also be insta-killed!" "These two BOSSes are invincible. The defending side is definitely going to lose!" "Brothers, let''s go..." ... Witnessing Jack''s miserable state, the morale of the defending side greatly decreased. Countless players quit the battle and prepared to log out. "Jack Shui, be careful!" Canter quickly urged the Skeleton Horse to attack and attract Jennifer''s firepower to prevent the other party from focusing on Jack. Three seconds later, Jack''s stun state was lifted. He shook his somewhat dizzy head, got up embarrassedly, and expressionlessly picked up the Cold Cloud Sword not far away. "A weakling should act like a weakling!" While releasing spells to deal with Canter, Jennifer sneered, "You and Canter are going to hold me back? What a joke. I didn''t expect you to take yourself so seriously?" Saying that, she took the opportunity during the battle to throw an ice cone towards Jack''s position. But Canter forcibly moved and blocked it with the body of the Skeleton Horse. Then he raised his spear and stabbed: "Old woman, your opponent is me!" "Humph!" Jennifer snorted coldly and could only give up the attack on Jack. The battle continued fiercely. Daniel was barely coping with Brandy and had several more wounds on his body. Canter was a level 40 Gold BOSS and Jennifer was easily reaping his life. One minute later... Evil Trample! "Again?" Jennifer twitched the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were full of contempt. Facing Jack''s close approach, she raised her hand again, trying to block the weak and ridiculous attack: "A mantis trying to..." "Bang!" In the next second, her arm was close to her face. The strength of the kicking leg was many times stronger than before, making her expression twist, her body lean sideways, and her sight quickly moved downwards. Eventually, she had a close contact with the ground. "Boom -" The floor broke and was forcibly smashed into a pit. "!!" The sudden change made Daniel and Brandy look sideways. The players who were preparing to log out all paused their actions and stared at this scene in a daze, speechless. The level 50 Gold BOSS was forcibly held down by Jack Shui? Stepping on Jennifer''s side face, Jack''s eyes were full of indifference. "Old woman, you... What are you pretending for?" ...
