Elder Council Hall.

Gao Linzhi looked at the Skill Stone scattered all over the ground; there were a total of 78 of them.

There are 30 skills that are different from his existing skills; the rest are duplicates.

In other words, he can consume another 30 physical Skill Stone.

He currently has 36 physical skills, but after consuming them, he will have 66.

His skill cap is currently 100, and he only has 66 skills, so he can learn 34 more skills.

After learning 30 new physics skills, I still have 4 skill slots left, which is quite a lot.

In contrast, other players have it much more complicated.

They gain one more skill per level, plus the six skills they already have at level one, so the skill slots at level 40 are 46, which is still quite a lot.

The biggest problem is that they can't learn haphazardly; they have to consider future career advancement.

This guy is really good at getting things done.

He gave Wuhu a meaningful look.

This guy has already figured out pretty much everything about the skill set he currently possesses.

However, if it were the ruler of the Sky Wolf Dynasty, he would certainly be very wary.

They will surely use him and then kill him.

Gao Linzhi wouldn't do that; he didn't care.

On the contrary, they were quite pleased with the other person's thoughtfulness.

Because of the king's actions, the result is that no one does their job properly, but only tries to figure out what people want.

In the end, they came up with a set of seemingly mysterious, profound, and sophisticated tactics, but in reality, they were just a bunch of worthless, servile schemes.

It seems impressive, but in reality, it crumbles easily with a single blow or a poke.

Therefore, Gao Linzhi's first enemy on his path to Immortality is the monarch, those who attempt to control the fate of others.

Having experienced both worlds, he deeply understands that human creativity can only be fully unleashed when one is completely relaxed, allowing for the greatest release of the universe, nature, and humanity.

It is said that there was a genius scientist whose mind was sharpest when he was rowing a boat, and when the wind and rain filled the cabin, that was also when his inspiration was at its peak.

It's hard to imagine that when a person is preoccupied with guarding against their ruler and fearing for their life, they have any intellectual capacity left to exercise their creativity.

Just like the War Immortal Han Xin, when he was almost equal to Liu Bang, that was when he was at his most powerful and invincible.

He could conjure up all sorts of amazing and ingenious weapons with ease, leaving everyone in awe.

When he became Liu Bang's subject and a woman's subordinate, he only knew how to Nuonuo and full of complaints. He became a useless person who could be killed by a few palace maids, and there was no trace of his "immortal" self left.

This is how monarchs destroy creativity.

When a place has a monarch, and the monarch has the actual power of life and death, it can be concluded that there will be no truly creative things to be found.

He then rewarded Bored with several items from the in-game store, all of which were absolutely unavailable on the market, such as a game Respawn Point Reset Talisman.

The other person left looking excited.

Of course, Gao Linzhi knew the other party was faking it, and the other party also knew that he knew it was faking it.

Everyone understood the unspoken agreement.

It was all just mutual exploitation.

We're all adults, why talk about loyalty and feelings? It's all about interests, weighing options, and rationality.

Gao Linzhi then used the Skill Stone one by one.

He subsequently acquired the following skills:

"Basic Breathing Technique, Basic Internal Energy Cultivation, Basic Body Tempering, Basic Mystical Arts..."

A wide variety of physical skills popular among the indigenous people have been collected.

It's safe to say that no single player can possibly learn all of them.

That would only create a mess, and the Game Account would definitely be ruined.

There aren't enough skill slots to learn Advanced Skill or class-specific skills.

After learning all 30 new skills, Gao Linzhi knew that he had basically mastered all the common Basic Skills available on the market.

It's very difficult to learn anything new then.

However, these skills also have intermediate, advanced, Expert Level, master, and Grandmaster Level. Many skills can also add 5 x 10 points to constitution, which is equivalent to adding another 50 points.

He then spent a lot of experience points to level up all the newly learned skills to level 100.

In this way, he gained 30*10, or 300 points of physique.

In an instant, his physique soared from 5+831 to 5+1131, reaching 1136 points!

This is a physique with a strength exceeding 1000!

Gao Linzhi closed his eyes, sensing the changes within his body.

He felt that every cell in his body was enveloped by a Mysterious Energy, forming a biological force.

Just like an ordinary electric motor, which, with the help of electromagnetic fields, can unleash earth-shattering power.

Actually, these are the same thing.

However, this Mysterious Energy can be driven by human consciousness.

This is essentially the same as how humans use intelligence and physical strength to create tools and manipulate the power of electromagnetic fields.

Simply removing the intermediate steps gives people a completely different feeling.

This energy can be used directly without the need for tools or complex machinery!

This extraordinary world is truly wondrous.

No wonder some people go into seclusion for hundreds of years.

Actually, they were playing a game, and a highly addictive one at that. No wonder they could stay secluded for ages.

If it were truly torture, like going to prison, I doubt many people would have the willpower to endure it.

Meanwhile, the event channel was in an uproar among players!

"Holy crap, the big shot's price has skyrocketed!"

"Another 300 points were added at once, bringing the total to 341,000 points now, including the previous 41 points!"

"Damn, I'm working so hard, carefully budgeting, not daring to learn more than one skill, and at level 25 I only have 20-something points in constitution, while others get over 300 in just one event?"

Are we playing the same game?

"Hehe, whales and ordinary players are playing different games. Ordinary players enjoy the game content, while whales enjoy the ordinary players' experience."

"That's right, casual players are part of the game content!"

"So many big spenders quit after playing for half a year or so because they lost interest in the challenge."

"Hahaha, now that guy Riding the Wind to Beat Luo Shao is in an awkward position. He thought he had secured first place after reaching 100,000 points, but the big shot suddenly jumped to over 300,000!"

"It seems the only way to defeat the big boss is to find a cannon fodder right now, a level 1 cannon fodder, level him up, and prepare dozens more physical skills. We'll use alt accounts to hoard these skills and defeat the big boss!"

"Yes, if that were the case, the big boss would have a real headache."

"Wait a minute, you guys forgot, this big shot also has Pay-to-Win Talent! Who knows what's in the event shop?"

"Damn it, why can't we spend real money? This is unfair! His gold is gold, but our gold is just scrap metal?"

"Yes, this is unfair! Tell the game developers to come out and talk!"

The players were immediately outraged.

Of course, Gao Linzhi could tell at a glance that this was organized by someone.

But what good is their anger?

This isn't an ordinary online game. Unless it's a super-large company, the official game developers should at least listen to player feedback. They can't do things that are obviously unfair.

Otherwise, the rise and fall of a hot trend would only take a few months.

Those games that remain popular, despite their many criticisms, are generally well-balanced, and even those that require in-app purchases have their reasons for doing so.

Just play if you want to spend money.

Ordinary people also have things to do for fun.

A good pay-to-win game will always consider the gaming experience and content for free-to-play players; pay-to-win games that completely disregard free-to-play players will not last long.

At the same time.

In the Official Game Group.

"Damn it, this isn't fair! I've been hoarding points all this time, and I've only saved up 100 free attribute points, which I originally intended for my profession quests."

"Right now, in order to climb to the top of the rankings and get the title, they're putting all their points into physique, which is already a huge waste!"

"How did he suddenly get over 300 physique points?" "Riding the Wind to Beat Luo Shao" vented his impotent rage.

"So what? I'm not surprised at all how far whales can go. Haven't you ever played real-world online games? Whales and ordinary players play completely different kinds of games," Empty 2086 said gloatingly.

After all, he himself had been defeated by Gao Linzhi, and now there was another one who had been crushed. For a moment, he felt much better.

Indeed, there is truth to the saying that "the pain of one person is greatly reduced when shared by two people."

"Damn it, this isn't fair! @ Skyfall's Most Handsome, get out here right now! I'm just...!"

System notification: "Riding the Wind to Beat Luo Shao" has been banned for 24 hours.

"Hahaha, you really dare to provoke me? Isn't it better to be alive?"

"Exactly, exactly, they have Pay-to-Win Talent, don't you understand?"

Although everyone said this, they also felt uneasy.

After all, 100 points in physique, or 100,000 points, is extremely difficult for them.

Few people would specifically hoard this.

This time, it was Riding the Wind to Beat Luo Shao caught up.

"Actually, 100 points of constitution is already a lot. You need to max out all ten basic physical skills, or at least learn three main skills to an advanced level, to reach that amount."

"Yeah, relying on leveling up is too little; you only get one Free Attribute Points per level."

"It seems we have to find a way to infiltrate his inner circle and establish a stable exchange channel."

"Yeah, he can spend money on in-game purchases, we have gold, we can totally cooperate."

Jiangnan1912 hasn't appeared in the group for a long time.

He has been training and refining himself.

Seeing the stark difference in these people's attitudes compared to before, he immediately realized that they had come to understand the true power of the "Pay-to-Win Talent."

His physique instantly increased by over 300, leaving even him feeling powerless.

You should know that he worked hard for two months to learn just one skill.

Of course, he could buy Skill Stone, but Skill Stone are very expensive.

The key issue is that you lack resources and connections, so even if you want to buy, no one will sell to you.

This thing, like strategic weapons, isn't something you can get just by having money.

Just like how Gao Linzhi was able to buy it?

Because he also possesses items that others desperately need, such as Revival Stone and in-game items that only he can purchase...

While Jiangnan1912 was also on Wolf Snake Island and the leader of an association, his actual resources and authority were far inferior to those of Xu Gou and Wuliao.

After all, his identity was somewhat awkward—he Liang Clan's former son-in-law, and he had come from another island.

This kind of status means that even if Gao Linzhi care, others have no choice but to care.

And then, finally someone thought of him.

"By the way, isn't Jiangnan1912 related to that big shot?"

"Ask him to intervene."

Jiangnan1912 sneered, "Back then, you were always trying to suppress me."

Where has that arrogance gone?

"I hope you can recover."

"Sigh, Jiangnan, you can't just think of yourself. You'll have to ask others for your help someday."

"Exactly, we need to help each other to go the distance."

"You wouldn't want to be constantly being thought about by others, would you?"

"Hmph, I'm not afraid of you guys eyeing me. At worst, I'll just hide on the island and stay online," Jiangnan1912 said disdainfully.

"Hey, Jiangnan brother, don't be so petty. Besides, cooperating with us means you'll have another market channel, which is a good thing."

"Exactly, the real enemy of everyone should be the imperial court; the game developers have already hinted at this."

"No, it's already been made clear."

"The imperial court has actually been targeting us from the very beginning. The villagers seem kind, but they harbor malicious intentions. They want us to fight against the imperial court so they can profit from it. As players, we should unite."

It must be said that these people's rhetoric is top -Gao Ming.

Even Jiangnan1912 was somewhat swayed by what he heard.

He also felt that the imperial court was indeed a formidable enemy.

"That's right, the imperial court hasn't taken any action against us for the time being, but the NPCs have also said that the strange phenomena will subside in two years, and the imperial court will send people to the islands again," Pig Realm 3001 added.

"At that time, just think about how we, whose language and customs are incompatible with the court, will be treated?"

"Everyone should have studied history and know the nature of feudal dynasties. Once those court officials felt threatened, they would stop at nothing to achieve their goals."

"Even if you pose no threat, as long as there's something in it for you, they'll still blackmail you; it's practically inevitable."

Everyone agreed.

Jiangnan1912 also felt that, in the face of the imperial court, the conflicts between the players could be temporarily set aside.

He simply overlooked the fact that while the imperial court was a matter of life and death, these offline companies and powerful families were also a matter of life and death, and they also needed money.

Or perhaps they were all cut from the same cloth... Aristocratic families were the most likely to compromise with the dynasty.

Because they are inherently very easy to integrate, they can achieve a state of mutual interdependence through marriage and other means.

That's where things go wrong.

Then Jiangnan1912 said, "Alright, I'll give it a try, but you also need to make sure you don't do anything targeting me again."

"Otherwise, I believe you will only suffer a terrible death."

"Don't worry, with a formidable enemy at hand, we certainly won't do anything foolish."

"That's right. We're not those feudal courtiers who only know how to fight amongst ourselves. We see things very clearly."

Each player made their own guarantee.

Jiangnan1912 then left the group chat.

He decided to meet with Gao Linzhi and discuss things with him for a while.

He had just left the group chat when his mind suddenly cleared.

"Wait a minute, why did I take on this kind of thing?"

"This doesn't suit my habits. I'm low-key and don't like to cause trouble."

"This is clearly asking for trouble. The big boss had a good impression of me, but now I'm being asked to be a mouthpiece for a group of enemies. Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

"Damn it, I must have fallen for their spell!"

Jiangnan1912 understood and immediately changed his mind.

He decided to refuse those people.
