[Game Start]

Chen Yi felt his vision go black, followed by an unprecedented violent shaking, as if he'd been thrown into a washing machine with hundreds of horsepower. He didn't know how long this process lasted.

"Blech!"

Just as Chen Yi was about to say something, a nauseating feeling surged up, and he could only hurriedly cover his mouth.

Chen Yi tried his best to remain calm, but the nausea brought on by his body wasn't so easily dispelled.

He carefully tapped ③ Noxus with his left hand.

It had to be said, the Game World had a wicked sense of humor. Knowing Chen Yi was a mage, it still placed Demacia and Noxus so close together.

Demacia originated during the Rune Wars. At that time, the Valoran continent was engulfed in warfare. A group of refugees, hunted by Dark Mages, accidentally discovered a Nullstone that could weaken magic.

They then used the Nullstone to kill the Dark Mages and utilized the Nullstone to build their city-state, which later became Demacia.

From its origins, it was clear that the fear of magic was deeply ingrained in the blood of Demacians. Magic was forbidden here.

As soon as he finished making his selection, another bout of spinning began.

"No way, again!"

In the Noxian Recruit Camp, Chen Yi was teleported over. Beside him, a Quartermaster skillfully took out a roster.

"Name, profession, any Guilds joined."

The Quartermaster wasn't surprised by someone being teleported over; this kind of thing happened every day.

The Great Noxian Leader--Swain, with the consent of the other two members of the Trifarian Council, signed a contract with an unknown Great Being.

From then on, people were teleported to Runeterra every day. These were not ordinary people, and they would do everything they could to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors.

Some of them were powerful enough to rival the heroes of Noxus, while others were so weak that they needed to go through recruit training before they could be used as cannon fodder.

But it didn't matter, this was Noxus!

Noxus welcomed anyone to join.

Chen Yi didn't have time to respond to the Quartermaster, he was trying to calm his rebellious stomach.

The Quartermaster, who received no response, crushed the pen in his hand and smiled grimly. It had been a long time since a newcomer dared to provoke him, and it was quite boring.

The Quartermaster picked up the battle axe behind him, and killing intent spread throughout the tent.

"Boom!"

The seemingly stable and harmonious Recruit Camp of the 11th Division of Noxus suddenly exploded.

Then, a figure shot out of the tent at extreme speed and crashed into the warehouse where dried grass was stored.

"What's going on!"

"I said no fighting in the recruit camp, who couldn't hold back this time."

"Don't you want to go to Lord Darius's Colosseum to play? I guess it's just someone bullying a newcomer again."

The Noxians didn't care about the explosion, only the strong were respected in Noxus.

And the players who passed by watched the show with ill intentions.

However, the one who walked out of the tent was a Mage, the magma-like shield slowly dissipated, revealing Chen Yi's youthful appearance.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

You want to kill me?

A Flame Sword formed in the air above the warehouse, breaking through the roof and falling directly down.

The Quartermaster caught the greatsword in the air with both hands, and the dried grass beside him and his tattered clothes began to burn under the scorching heat.

As the second Flame Sword fell, the Quartermaster was already kneeling on the ground, his sweat unclear whether it was from the heat or the pressure.

The third Flame Sword fell in the Quartermaster's despairing eyes.

The Centurion, who had been watching for a long time, suddenly moved.

The Mace in his hand struck the Flame Sword in the air before it could land, changing its trajectory.

The third Flame Sword landed not far from the Quartermaster.

Just as he thought he was saved, a rumble began!

Where the fire ring passed, even weapons were roasted red. The Quartermaster felt as if he had plunged into lava; no, he was already in the lava.

"Centurion, save me!"

The Mage in the Recruit Camp hurriedly cast a spell to lower the temperature, but here, with the Fire Elemental Particles highly active, other elements were suppressed.

Ice Shards and Water Pillars hit the lava area with a sizzling sound, turning into Steam.

The high-temperature steam caused secondary damage to the Quartermaster, and as the ground lava rumbled once more, its range even began to expand. The Quartermaster fell into the lava.

Chen Yi glanced at the Players attempting to surround him, their threat evident.

After a moment of thought, these Players decided it wasn't worth it and stopped.

For a time, only the sound of burning flames remained in the entire Recruit Camp.

"Sir, what should I call you?"

Judging from Chen Yi's attire, the Centurion recognized him as a 'Player.' Instead of seeking revenge for Chen Yi killing the Quartermaster, he seemed quite pleased.

This was Noxus, a paradise for the strong, a hell for the weak!

"Just call me Yi."

"Mister Yi, please register here. Could you tell me why you killed that Quartermaster?"

"Because he intended to kill me."

The true reason was that simple.

After completing a simple registration, Chen Yi was promoted by the Centurion to become a Centurion in the Recruit Camp, rather than starting as a recruit.

Most Players in the Game World, after level 18, were thrown into the Training Ground because they couldn't exert their true strength.

The Quartermaster Chen Yi had just killed was only level 17, but he could fight against several level 17 Players.

This was also why he had initially shown disdain for the Players.

Coincidentally, he met Chen Yi.

[Successfully joined Noxus, mission start]

[Cleansing: Help Noxus clean house, make the Kings of the Vassal States hand over their power, rewards accumulate and summarize]

[Recommended Level LV18-???]

In the Rune Land, there weren't just a few famous countries. Between these great nations, there were many small nations.

The nobles of these countries repeatedly proclaimed to their subjects that their nation was great because of their noble bloodline.

But Noxus was different; here, meritocracy was valued.

Therefore, when facing Noxus, many small nations would directly open their city gates, with their subjects cheering for Noxus's arrival.

Noxus did not engage in pointless slaughter. It needed more people, more land, and more food, embracing all who were willing to join Noxus, provided they were willing to obey.

But there were always some petty kings who were infatuated with the honor of power. They ignored Noxus's commands, attempting to make their royal authority great once more.

Now, the Trifarian Council had already passed a verdict on these nations.

Darius, one of the three members of the council, would lead the army to cleanse the house.

And all Chen Yi needed to do was to assist him.
