Come to the edge of the cliff and stand still.

Ji Chen glanced at Nine-Leaf Red Cloud Grass growing in the cracks in the rock.

Trembling slightly with the imprint of thought power in the sea of consciousness.

A light blue mark appeared on his forehead, and invisible thoughts condensed into a fine mesh in the air, gently wrapping the roots of Nine-Leaf Red Cloud Grass under the guidance of consciousness.

With the assistance of perception, the thread of mind power accurately penetrated into the cracks in the rock, separating the spiritual root system from the stone wall.

When the roots break away from the rock wall, they pick up a few grains of fine crystal sand.

In a very relaxed way, pick the entire spiritual plant and float it to hover in front of you.

Immediately, a rich fragrance hits your nose, like the aroma of sun-dried pine wood, inhaling into your lungs and refreshing your spirit.

Ji Chen subconsciously took another deep breath, then reached out to touch the blade of Nine-Leaf Red Cloud Grass and put it into the space bag.

Looking down at his right hand with a light blue spiritual pattern, he still felt unbelievable.

Although <Monster World> has perfect physical performance, the ability to fully reproduce the telekinesis in reality into the game still exceeded his expectations.

It was even too real, which made him feel unreal.

Can a game really reach this level?

Although it is a simulation of reality, judging from the completeness of the world structure, it has surpassed reality.

Many energy particles and world structures that do not exist in the real world are applied in the virtual environment.

What surprised him the most was the performance of Eagle Head Demon Monster Soul, which matched perfectly with his telepathy brand.

With the blessing of Eagle Head Demon's ability, the operation of telekinesis becomes extremely smooth, and perception can also provide visual assistance when telekinesis is released.

Ordinary players may not understand what this means, thinking that Monster Soul's abilities are just settings in virtual games.

But as a former cultivator, he clearly knows how terrible this is.

Since the Eagle Head Demon Monster Soul in the game can perfectly fit the mental imprint, it means that the performance of this ability is not completely fictitious.

Think backwards.

Since real-life abilities can be applied to games.

Then game abilities that can be used in conjunction with real abilities can also be applied in the real world, and there is no logical problem.

A game with this level of detail is completely beyond the Definition of the game.

The developers of the game have even built the logic of skill operation that seems to be a virtual setting to be flawless. What is the difference between this behavior and creation?

The performance of this game can be called a miracle in the eyes of Ji Chen.

At this moment, he figured out something.

Why are humans willing to develop technology with the help of alien races on the moon and give them absolute trust?

The shock brought by the game Monster World made him realize that the strength comparison between the two sides was not at the same level at all, and there was an insurmountable gap.

It's no wonder that these aliens didn't do any destructive behavior after they landed on the earth.

If you really think about it, the human race can't stop it.

The characteristics and ability settings in the game are also outrageous.

It can actually be adapted to the use of various abilities, just like a pure "energy container" that can be adaptively adjusted according to different abilities.

Just like the cultivation method in the martial arts is used to grow, and the combat skills are responsible for mobilizing the energy provided by the mental method to fight.

The enhanced perception of Eagle Head Demon provides the perfect carrier and release aid for telekinesis.

Theoretically, all Monster Soul features have unlimited expansion possibilities.

At this stage, players have only mastered the use of Monster Soul features, but the development and use of Monster Soul features are still in their infancy.

From this point of view, Star Vein System in the game is not a simple skill template.

It is a highly compatible power framework on which various ability plug-ins can be installed. Monster Soul will provide auxiliary operation.

With doubts, he called up the forum and started looking for posts with similar views.

Soon, he found the relevant content.

The post records Champion Fighter's combat skills teaching content, which mentions the effective use of abilities.

For example, the power of the Gāng Qì ability mastered by the player can be increased several times after mastering different release methods.

This confirmed his conjecture.

Just like the increase in mental power brought by Eagle Head Demon, and even the increase in perception, can provide assistance for the release of mind power.

The effect provided by the mind imprint is essentially the control of surrounding materials, and Eagle Head Demon's perception perfectly covers all materials existing in space.

Follow this idea and reason it out.

The Venom attribute of Black Armor Snake can theoretically be equipped with all toxic abilities.

For example, he generates a poison attribute brand in his body, and the effect can be released simultaneously with the Black Armor Snake characteristic.

All Monster Soul characteristics have unlimited possibilities, and each Monster Soul can develop a huge ability system.

But the most outrageous thing is that these rule-based abilities have been made into basic abilities.

It is as if each player is given a top-notch smartphone, but they are only allowed to use it to make calls and send text messages. In fact, a large number of usable plug-ins can be installed on the phone.

What a waste!

In the days of another world, Dragonborn once introduced him to rules and abilities.

The explanation for the ability of rules is that it can break through the laws of physics and become a powerful force of logic on its own.

The most terrifying thing about the power of rules is not its destructive power, but its ability to restructure the operating logic of the world around Definition.

Dragonborn introduced him to the rules and abilities mastered by his race.

It means that under the normal world logic, the power gained by its people through exercise is 1, but the logic provided by the rules mastered by its tribe is that the power gained through exercise under the rule field can be 10.

Logically completely modifying the laws of reality.

Including an elixir refined with spiritual plants, when used with the blessing of the rule field, it can also produce ten times the effect.

But the premise is that energy needs to be generated according to the logic of the rules, which is the power source to activate the rules.

Dragonborn also said that the combat power system of a strong clan is built with rules, characteristics and effects as the core.

For example, a race has mastered the Black Armor Snake rule trait.

Then the development of this race's combat power will revolve around the Venom characteristics of Black Armor Snake.

It is possible to develop the Venom flow, the ten thousand poison flow, the blood poison flow... Different ability imprints will be created to match the performance of Black Armor Snake characteristics, and combined with a combat style that gives the target various poison attribute erosion effects through a physical attack.

It can be said that mastering a rule is enough to give an ethnic group an infinite possible future.

So after understanding the Monster Soul characteristics and principles of Monster World, Ji Chen was completely dumbfounded.

This game actually uses the rules that Dragonborn calls "infinite possibilities" as the basic ability, and then combines them with other rule abilities to build a combat power system genre.

All hard dishes, no side dishes.

The player's behavior is simply using the civilization foundation of other potential races as a fruit knife.

In other words, hot weapons that carry destructive power and can be infinitely upgraded are used as cold weapons.

In the eyes of ordinary players, the "Astral Veins combination" mode is only fun, interesting, and imaginative, etc. Definition.

But in his eyes, this gameplay is simply outrageous.

Although this is just a virtual game.

But since the rule performance can fit reality, it means that game developers are likely to have mastered this series of rule capabilities.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to use it in conjunction with the telekinesis he mastered.

He felt that the script of his life had changed.

From Return of the God of War to Return of the God of War, the earth is full of invincible bosses.

Just when Ji Chen was shocked and was about to have a deeper understanding of Monster World, the prompt Full Channel suddenly popped up in his mind:

[Challenger Tips (Full Channel): The level-up carnival will start in one hour.]

Level Up Carnival (Special Event):

Active time: 72 hours (starts after 59 minutes and 57 seconds)

Participation conditions: Qualified players recruited in this round.

Activity introduction: After the level-up carnival event starts, the function panel will add the "New Level Ranking List (Real-time Update)". After the event, Sacrificial Power rewards will be distributed according to the level order on the ranking list. The maximum reward of 100,000 Sacrificial Power can be obtained (only 1-10,000 people on the level list are counted).

Tip 1: If the player has embedded multiple Monster Soul, the growth of multiple Monster Soul, Evolution Points, will be included in the calculation of the Main Soul level.

Tip 2: After the event is officially launched, participating players are not allowed to form a team with Main Soul veteran players whose level is greater than 20+, otherwise they will be deemed to have given up participating in the event.

Tip 3: This activity only counts the Monster Soul level brought by hunting.

The sudden prompt immediately caused the regional channel to explode.

Different players have different ideas.

Old players are all lamenting why they had nothing when they were newbies, but there are support activities for the newbies recruited this time.

It is simply unreasonable. I strongly requested on the forum to withdraw the benefits for newbies and give them a fair treatment.

Some old players even expressed that when will the official pay attention to old players? Why are there no activities to support old players?

Qi Sheng, who was observing behind the scenes, naturally ignored the thoughts of these players.

Using the income earned by old players to subsidize new players is Qi Sheng's development strategy of getting rich first and then getting rich later.

This is completely different from reality.

In reality, if you want to get rich first and then get rich later, you will be affected by resistance from vested interests and other factors.

But in the eyes of Qi Sheng, these problems do not exist.

He is the supreme and absolute ruler of the Player Legion, and his will refers to the player's behavioral boundaries.

Real-life policies require a compromise between the interests of all parties, and the rules he formulated are settings that players cannot contend with.

Compared with the dissatisfaction of some old players, the new players are extremely excited.

But there are exceptions.

Those who want to level up quickly under the leadership of veteran players can only give up the convenient growth path if they want to participate in this event.

Just as players were discussing the latest event, Ji Chen immediately became interested after reading the event content.

The rest of my originally boring life now has expectations.

Now that there is another level-up event, he naturally has to participate in it.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still one hour left before the event started, he decided to sell the level 6 spiritual plants in his backpack first.

Then convert Sacrificial Power into its own strength to improve the efficiency of subsequent hunting.

Based on the last experience, he decided to evaluate the value of the spiritual plant in detail first, and then consider what price to sell it at.

Call up the Trading House function to compare prices.

The price of the above level 6 spiritual plants is 6000-8000 points Sacrificial Power, which is twice as high as the direct price Sacrifice Di Zhao.

For sale in this price range, there should be no problem.

But considering the lesson learned last time, he decided to go to the forum to look for any posts introducing Nine-Leaf Red Cloud Grass.

After rummaging around, Ji Chen did not find the introduction information of Nine-Leaf Red Cloud Grass, but did find the introduction of some special spiritual plants.

One of the posts mentioned that there is a "God Blood Pill" in the medicine refining function, which requires 3.8% of spiritual plants containing divine blood attributes to be refined.

Reminiscent of the introduction of Nine-Leaf Red Cloud Grass, it was mentioned that it was grown in an area rich in the divine blood of Ka Ci.

This can obviously be classified as a spiritual plant with divine blood attributes.

The effect of God Blood Pill is very powerful. It can increase one's own abilities several times in a short period of time, but the side effect is that the player will explode and die after the effect of the drug ends.

According to the information provided by Detailed Study Faction player, Ji Chen still cannot estimate the true value of Nine-Leaf Red Cloud Grass.

It is also impossible to calculate how many God Blood Pill can be refined from one strain of Nine-Leaf Red Cloud Grass.

It was left to the decision of waiting to find out the price before selling, or selling it directly. Ji Chen finally decided to put a high price on Trading House.

After clarifying his thoughts, he opened Trading House again and dragged Nine-Leaf Red Cloud Grass in the space bag to the transaction column.

Price: 12500 Sacrificial Power.

Press OK, and the challenger prompt will sound in the next second:

[Challenger Tip: The Nine-Leaf Red Cloud Grass you sold has been purchased by player "Divine Hall Left Hand", and the Sacrificial Power income is: 11875 (handling fee deducted).]

Ji Chen:...

He felt that he was afraid that the price had been sold low again.

While feeling dumbfounded, he felt that he had to study hard.

Without sufficient Monster World knowledge reserves, it is easy to miss high-value good things.

But the most important thing now is to upgrade, strive to reach the top of the event list, and earn event rewards.

Calling up the Astral Veins interface, he consumed ten thousand Sacrificial Power to raise the level of Body Tempering to level 1.

In an instant, a scorching energy burst out from his spine. Ji Chen could clearly feel every bone making a subtle crisp sound under the impact of this force.

In the inner vision picture, the muscle fibers are rewoven by the force pouring into the body.

There was a slight itching sensation in the internal organs, as if the dry land was suddenly soaked with sweet rain.

The beating of the heart is as clear as a drum in the ears, pumping waves of new energy to the limbs and bones.

When Ji Chen opened his eyes, his field of vision suddenly became clear.

Body Tempering level improvement brings about the strengthening of all attributes of the body, and even the eyesight has been significantly improved.

In a flash of thought, the outline of the body suddenly blurred.

The crimson wings dissipated like smoke, the sharp claws retracted into the long fingers, and the feathers covering the whole body turned into black cloth.

Between breaths, Eagle Head Demon's form faded away, returning to the lean outline of the human form, and the white hair fell down on the shoulders again.

He clenched his fist and felt the attribute increase brought by Body Tempering level. This feeling really fascinated him.

Compared to Days in Another World, the growth mode in the game is really enjoyable.

Ordinary players are used to this feeling and may not think anything of it.

But he has experienced the pain and sequelae caused by cultivation, so he cherishes this feeling very much.

His eyes turned to the Astral Veins panel still floating in front of him.

He spent 500 Sacrificial Power to open the second Star Vein Slot, and then spent 1000 Sacrificial Power to purchase "Eat Qi" Monster Soul for inlaying.

The disadvantage of using telepathy branding is that it consumes a lot of mental energy.

Eat Qi Monster Soul can just make up for this shortcoming.

After the mosaic is completed, the breathing pattern changes.

Every time you inhale, the surrounding air seems to be filtered by an invisible screen, and only the purest spiritual energy pours into your lungs like a trickle.

These spiritual energy are automatically separated and transformed in the chest, and part of it is transformed into spiritual power to fill the gap in the consumption of mental energy.

Part of it turns into Qi and Blood to warm the body and flow through the blood vessels.

Ji Chen suddenly realized that every breath he takes now is a minimum practice.

This is obviously another basic rule ability that combines cultivation with instinct.

You don't even need to use your consciousness to filter energy, you can automatically lock the pure aura in the air.

If you can match Eat Qi's ability with the cultivation method, you may be able to turn on the automatic cultivation mode.

What a luxury.

When I traveled to another world, if I could master any one of these rules and abilities, I would have been struggling on the edge of life and death for two hundred years.

He used all the remaining 300 Sacrificial Power to buy primary mental repair potions.

Eat Qi alone obviously cannot make up for the mental consumption, and medicine is a necessary consumption to improve hunting efficiency.

Strengthening is over and hunting begins.

Time passes on the way.

When the Full Channel prompt for the start of the event sounded, Ji Chen happened to find a monster.

More than ten meters away, a Steel Armor Centipede was leaning out of the rock crack, its metal limbs scraping against the rock making a harsh sound.

Ji Chen's pupils glowed with faint blue light, he raised his right hand, and his mind power spread towards it like a tide.

The next second, Steel Armor Centipede floated into the air, completely wrapped in telekinesis, locking every joint of the body.

His right hand, glowing with blue light, slowly clenched.

Bah! Bah! Bah!

The heartbreaking sound of metal twisting sounded one after another.

Steel Armor Centipede's body was twisted in different directions by telekinesis, like twisting a wet towel.

Liquid shot out from the gaps in the joints, and as the power of thought continued to converge, the entire centipede was compressed into a metal ball the size of a fist.

When the challenger prompt sounded in his mind, Ji Chen decisively dispersed his telekinesis.

Without stopping at all, he continued to run towards the foggy area further away on the map.

There was a steep slope ahead. After the mark of telekinesis appeared on his forehead, Ji Chen jumped up suddenly, and his body continued to rise into the air under the support of telekinesis.

No need to use force in the middle, I crossed this slope by flying and came to a brand new scene.

Telekinesis can significantly improve his action efficiency. If it were not for saving mental energy consumption, he could even keep flying.

After the body landed, there were no new players nearby, so there was no need to worry about grabbing monsters.

At this moment, three crystal explosion lizards suddenly sprang out from behind the rock pile at the rear left, and they quickly pounced on them while their limbs were shaking.

Ji Chen, whose perception perspective had been discovered in advance, did not even look back.

Just raising his right hand, three crystal blast lizards behind him suddenly floated into the air at the same time.

The fingers slowly clenched.

The bodies of the three Crystal Explosion Lizards hovering in the air were twisting wildly, blood beads oozing from the gaps between their scales, their bodies collapsed inward, and their tough carapace made the sound of friction and squeezing.

After a sound of bones interlacing, the three crystal explosion lizards turned into black mist and merged into Ji Chen's body.

After taking action this time, there was not much mental energy left. He immediately took out a bottle of Spirit Potion to replenish it, then picked up the materials that fell on the ground and continued on his way.

With the blessing of Eagle Head Demon Monster Soul, the hunting process was extremely smooth.

It feels to Ji Chen that his familiar telekinesis has become a brand new ability, which is countless times stronger than the telekinesis used in reality.

In the past, there was a sense of stagnation when using the power of mind to control objects, and every time I exerted force, there was also a faint tingling sensation at the level of consciousness.

Even the process of converting mental power into telekinetic power requires time to prepare, and it is often necessary to reserve telekinetic energy in advance.

And the mental power under the blessing of Eagle Head Demon Monster Soul is like a rushing river. You can't even feel the process of mental power converting mental power. A single thought can set off an invisible wave.

In terms of control, there is no need to deliberately drive, the power of thought is like an arm and a finger, as smooth as breathing.

The previous sense of stagnation is gone, replaced by an almost instinctive control. Everything can be controlled wherever the mind goes.

Two days later.

Ji Chen lifted his toes off the ground, and his body was flying in the air under the telekinesis. Dozens of hunting level 3 spiked bugs below were squirming crazily, their sticky bodies secreting toxic mucus, spraying towards him.

But before the liquid came into contact with his body, it was blocked by invisible power of thought.

Ji Chen's five fingers were bluffing at this moment.

In an instant, invisible force rolled down like a huge wave.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

The sound of flesh and blood exploding continued to sound.

The worms below seemed to be crushed by invisible hands in an instant, and yellow-green slurry scattered in all directions.

Relying on the group output efficiency of telekinesis, Ji Chen completed the hunt in a very easy way, and Monster Soul's level increased by one level again.

Eagle Head Demon Monster Soul has reached level 16.

Calling up the cute new level ranking list in the function list, his name is clearly listed.

[Cute new level ranking list]:

First place: Still unbeatable after rebirth (comprehensive Monster Soul level: 83.23% at level 21)

Second place: Blood Reversal professional killer (comprehensive Monster Soul level: level 16 23.73%)

Third place: Teammates, stop acting (comprehensive Monster Soul level 16 23.38%)

Relying on the skillful use of telekinesis, coupled with the efficiency brought by telekinesis.

He dominates the activity list with an absolute advantage.

During this period, he didn't even die once, avoiding wasting time on resurrecting, cooling down, and traveling.

There is still half a day until the end of the event, and Ji Chen dare not rest for a moment.

Although we have an absolute level advantage now, anything can happen in the remaining time.

Half a day ago, he saw players chatting in the regional chat channel.

A player, with the cooperation of his new friends and relatives, and taking advantage of the terrain, successfully killed a level 27 monster.

This hunt made this player's level instantly increase by 4 levels, from being outside the top 10,000 on the list, to jumping directly to the top 100 on the list.

There is a chance that similar situations will occur in the future.

Maybe some players can successfully kill powerful monsters through luck or other factors, and the level of Monster Soul can be instantly increased by several levels.

If you want to maintain your advantage, you can't stop hunting.

During the flight, Ji Chen drank a bottle of mental repair potion.

Opening the regional chat channel, he wanted to see if any enthusiastic players could provide information about nearby hunting coordinates.

But what he saw made him feel helpless.

"Who is this 'Returning Still Unbeatable'? Why does he level up so fast? Our team's average level is still 11 after two days of hard work. As a result, his overall level is already level 21. Isn't it more difficult to upgrade with higher levels? Isn't he taking hormones?"

"Reborn Bro is so powerful. He is the first one every time I open the list. I want to know what Monster Soul he uses. I want to learn hunting skills. I hope I can start a class on the forum."

"It's just bad luck. I must have found a good place with a lot of monsters and little combat effectiveness. I'm going to hunt it secretly. If you have the ability, send me the hunting coordinates and add me."

"I speculate that Reborn Bro should take the shooter route. Compared with the magic system, the output consumes less, and it has high shooting accuracy in reality. In addition, San Shi bow has a group output route and kills efficiently. Ordinary players will definitely not be able to learn this gameplay."

"I haven't been offline since the server started, and I haven't died even once. I'm either hunting or looking for monsters. As a result, I'm only ranked 5728th. Do you want to be so stupid? Can you please quickly put me in the top 3000? Stop working hard. How can I improve if you continue to work so hard!"

"I've been vomiting. It's always floating outside the 20,000. You guys should give me a chance. Even if I go offline to drink some water and eat something, I beg you not to be involved."

On the regional channels, many voices were talking about him.

Also called him: Reborn Bro.

Turn off the regional channel, and Ji Chen's perception perspective overlooks the earth, including the monsters that may be hiding in the rock crevices.

In this event, he wants to take first place.

After all, he is an old guy who has lived for more than 200 years, and he can really outshine these little kids from the new era.

The accumulated combat experience over time is the most powerful plug-in for his hunting and growth.

Relying on the efficiency brought by flying, Ji Chen once again locked onto a group of monsters.

Among the ruins not far ahead, there are dozens of shadow-like monsters wandering around. If it were not for the blessing of perception, it would be impossible to detect them.

The analysis was swept away, and the monster's information came to mind.

[Shadow Scorpion]:

Hunting level: 11.

Target introduction: Elemental life, with a body composed of shadow energy. It was originally a pet beast carried by the descending force "Shadow Clan". After the destruction of the tribe, Shadow Scorpion continued to breed Life Breath in Zhu Ri Zhi Di. The body can be completely integrated into the shadow. The tail needle can release Soul-Eating Needle, causing continuous mental shock damage to the target.

Ji Chen's figure descended from a high altitude, his black clothes rustling in the wind.

He tapped his toes lightly and landed silently on a broken stone pillar.

In the ruins below, dozens of Shadow Scorpion are like flowing ink, appearing and disappearing in the shadows, with their tail needles slightly raised and shining with a dark purple light.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the power of thought was released along the raised right hand.

Boom!

An invisible mountain crashed down, the ground with a radius of tens of meters collapsed instantly, and rubble flew away.

Shadow Scorpion, who was originally hiding in the shadows, didn't even have a chance to react, and was killed several times in an instant.

One of the larger ones, Shadow Scorpion, raised its head, aimed its tail needle at the position where Ji Chen was standing, and thrust out, a soul-eating impact shot out like an arrow.

But before Soul-Eating Needle could get close, it was dispersed by the mental barrier.

Ji Chen didn't even look at it, just lightly grasped it with five fingers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One after another, the bodies of Shadow Scorpion exploded, and the shadow energy exploded like splashing ink, but it stagnated in mid-air under the restraint of telekinesis, forming a sea of black mist below that could not spread.

The last Shadow Scorpion tried to escape into the shadows and fled underground.

Ji Chen just stared at it, his mind wrapped around it like a chain, and forcefully pulled it out from the shadow of the ground!

Bang!

Shadow Scorpion's body twisted and deformed in mid-air, and was finally crushed into pure shadow energy, and finally turned into black mist and poured towards him.

Group after group of black mist seeped into the body, making Ji Chen extremely enjoyable.

But the gains this time are not enough to upgrade.

With his feet a little lower, his body shot towards the sky again, and he began to search for new hunting targets.

During the flight, Ji Chen was also thinking about a question.

This game performs perfectly in every aspect.

Even the telekinesis brand can be perfectly reproduced in the game.

So can Professor Dragonborn's own forbidden techniques be applied in this world and be used in conjunction with other Monster Soul characteristics?
