Players adapted to the game faster than Ling Yi had imagined.
Within just one day, most players had already started trying to farm the Gold Ingot Map.
Meanwhile, some of Protagonist Protagonist were already powerful Karmic Luck, especially those who were invincible from the start, have already begun grinding monsters in high-level Map.
For example, Xiao Huohuo, with his fighting technique of Dou Qi Wings and his powerful Heavenly Flame, is already able to solo world bosses.
Xiao Huohuo was not the strongest player. There were some players that Ling Yi didn't recognize at all, whose strength was even more exaggerated than Xiao Huohuo's.
The most impressive one was a player named Lin Heng, a bald man who used the template of One-Punch Man. He could Instant Kill a boss with a single punch, which was simply outrageous.
Moreover, this guy is extremely arrogant, monopolizing the Solo Player Map and punching anyone he sees.
The Solo Player Map is the only treasure-hunting Map for new players; how can it be monopolized by Lin Heng alone?
So, the PvP battles on the Solo Player Map almost never stopped that day.
Dream Reincarnation (Author): Seriously, is it really okay to keep fighting like this?
Ling Yi used his Flaming Sword Technique to wipe out the last bit of health from a world boss, and the screen filled with beams of light made both Ling Yi and Dream Reincarnation feel refreshed.
When did you change your nickname?
Dream Reincarnation: I feel that using a pen name is better. Using the author's name as a nickname always makes me feel like I'm not talking to you, but rather being controlled by some strange person.
"Hehe, if we were all the Protagonist in a novel, the strange people you're talking about might very well be the real author. Be careful, he might make things difficult for you."
Ling Yi paused randomly for a moment, and quickly jumped to the front of the second world boss.
To Ling Yi's surprise, someone was actually fighting this world boss.
"Who is this guy? His Combat is almost 400." Ling Yi was somewhat surprised.
He knew that some new players could already solo bosses, but Battle Power of 400 was truly exaggerated.
His own Battle Power was only two thousand, and that was after he killed a large number of players and obtained a lot of techniques and talents.
Dream Reincarnation: 400 is nothing, what's the big deal? Who cares who he is, just kill him instantly. Is your 2000 Battle Power fake?
Ling Yi thought so too. He was definitely the public enemy of the players, so this persona couldn't be allowed to go astray.
The reason Ling Yi didn't make a move was because the player's Combat style felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
Dream Reincarnation: By the way, a reader asked about the player drop rate setting. Could you explain it here?
"Why do I need to explain? Aren't you the author? You can explain it to the readers yourself!"
Dream Reincarnation: Bro, I didn't write the novel. I'm just the nominal author. My system is the one writing the words; I don't even have the authority to edit it.
Dream Reincarnation: Too many people have asked this question, and I'm too lazy to reply in the comments section.
The player has already detected Ling Yi's presence, and the frequency of their attacks has noticeably decreased, clearly indicating that they are now wary of Ling Yi.
"Hmm, I'll just explain it directly, right? The readers will be able to see it?"
Dream Reincarnation: All your words and actions will generate novel content, so just explain them directly.
"Ahem, hello to all my Big Shot readers..."
Dream Reincarnation: Hey, that's going too far, that's a bit of a bootlicking.
"Shut up! Don't you want popularity? Where does popularity come from? It's all thanks to our readers! How can that be called sucking up? Tell me, aren't our readers cool?"
Dream Reincarnation: Of course he's handsome! Would I dare give a different answer?
"Alright, ahem, let's get back to the main topic. Regarding the player drop rate issue, please let my system answer this for you Big Shot."
Dream Reincarnation:... You Old Liu!
"Ding, Player PK setting 1: Killing other players has a chance to drop the target's martial arts techniques, attributes, talents, or even cheat codes."
"Ding, player PK setting 2: The killed player will not lose responsiveness, which can be understood as a form of Copy. However, the killed player's skills, attributes, talents, etc., will be unusable for 24 hours after being dropped, entering a disabled period."
"Ding! Player PK setting 3 can reduce or remove the ban period by consuming in-game currency. For details, please visit the Universal Merchant NPC in Mongchont Earthen City."
Ling Yi gave a thumbs up and said, "It has to be our commander. If I were to explain it myself, I couldn't have done it in such detail."
Dream Reincarnation: You're just being lazy.
Ling Yi looked at the player who was fighting the world boss to a standstill.
Clad in a full Fire Dragon Equipment Set, he wielded a crimson cesium fire dragon longsword, slashing left and right with incredible speed and power.
Occasionally, the player's hands would shake, as if an invisible force was hindering the boss's movements, or as if the boss were drunk, it would sway from side to side.
A series of damage numbers flooded the screen from the boss.
"This person's Qi and Blood is terrifying, especially his strength, which is simply outrageous. His Shang-Chi is like a burning Huoyan, but who is this guy? He seems so familiar."
Dream Reincarnation: You don't know who he is? Really? Protagonist from a classic movie from our childhood! Look closely, who does he resemble?
"I don't care who he is, we'll find out who he is once I kill him."
As Ling Yi spoke, he charged forward with a Savage Charge. The player had been watching Ling Yi's movements closely, and the moment Ling Yi activated his skill, he retreated and turned around.
At the same time, a punch that had been waiting in the air was thrown at Ling Yi.
This person is probably overconfident in his own strength, so he intends to confront Ling Yi head-on.
"Bang! Boom!"
With a loud bang, the player was sent flying by Ling Yi's unreasonable punch.
A damage reduction of -18000 appeared above the player's head.
If it were an ordinary player, they would probably be dead by now after losing that much health. Even Ling Yi, who is currently level 85 and has the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body and various external skills, only has a little over 50,000 health left.
However, Ling Yi's Combat style has always been to unleash a series of combos once he strikes. Even though Savage Charge was still on cooldown, Ling Yi immediately used his Qinggong, causing his speed to surge once again.
At the same time, the Heaven-Slaying Divine Sword in his hand burst into blazing red Huoyan, unleashing the Flaming Sword Technique as he slashed down on the head.
This player was clearly not very fast and tried to dodge, but the moment the thought crossed his mind, he was struck on the shoulder by the Flaming Sword Technique.
-3000
"Bang!"
This time, the player's health was completely depleted, and he collapsed to the ground with a scream.
Most of the equipment on my body and in my backpack was lost, and the ground was covered with beams of light.
"Ding! The host has successfully killed player Ho Lik-wong, gaining 2 points!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the talent, Heart of Strength x1!"
Game Announcement: Player Ling Yi has killed player Ho Lik-wong in the World Boss Map (695, 231). The God of Slaughter has returned. All players are urged to be vigilant.
The first two beeps were Ling Yi's system notifications, and the last notification was a server-wide announcement.
At this moment, Ling Yi finally knew who this player was: Ho Lik-wong, the Protagonist of "King of Strength King ".
"Oh, it's Fan Huang! No wonder he looked familiar." Ling Yi suddenly realized.
Dream Reincarnation: To be honest, I watched this movie as a horror movie when I was a kid, because the scenes were too brutal, but it was also really exhilarating.
"But does Strength King really have Battle Power of 400? Wouldn't that make him stronger than Master Roshi from Dragon Ball?"
Dream Reincarnation: Can you please stop obsessing over Master Roshi's Battle Power? The Battle Power in Dragon Ball has never been normal. Master Roshi destroyed the moon, but that was under Limit power levels.
Dream Reincarnation: In the movie, Strength King smashed through the prison's Shitou wall with a single punch, and did it with ease. And didn't you notice that this Strength King was a middle-aged Strength King- Oh?
Dream Reincarnation: At this point, Strength King- Strength King is probably many times greater than when he was young.
Dream Reincarnation: Besides, you now have over two thousand Combat. Do you think you can blow up the moon?
"..." This author just keeps babbling on and on once he starts talking, it's really annoying.
Shaking his head, Ling Yi opened his backpack and began to check the attributes of the Heart of Strength.
Heart of Strength: A special talent that increases strength by 800 when used. If Heart of Tenacity is activated at the same time, the maximum strength will be greatly increased.
Ling Yi didn't know what "Heart of Tenacity" meant, nor could he guess how much of a "significant increase" was.
It seems that to gain the Heart of Tenacity, we'll have to start with this Strength King.
But it doesn't matter anymore, Ho Lik-wong will probably be depressed for a long time after this.
With my level reset and most of my equipment gone, plus the 24-hour talent disabling period, it's probably going to be tough for me to recover my level and strength anytime soon.
"Why do I feel like I'm the bad guy?" Ling Yi asked the author while standing and fighting the boss, which still had 30% health left.
Dream Reincarnation: No one will die, so how can they be bad people?
"Your attitude is clearly problematic. Does someone have to die to be considered a bad person? Even if no one dies, what if Strength King's strength is weakened and he becomes a target for bad guys when he returns to the real world?"
"What's that saying again? I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me!"
Dream Reincarnation: Hammering. jpg, Taunt!
Dream Reincarnation: You haven't logged off since the game started, have you?
What does it matter?
Dream Reincarnation: Strength King- Oh isn't out of his mind. If he really encounters danger, he can just hide in the game world.
Ling Yi was stunned for a moment, then said incredulously, "You mean, players can log in or out of the game at will? System Master, come out and explain!"
"Ding! Players can indeed log in and out of the game without restrictions."
"This setting doesn't seem quite right!"
"Ding, the game adheres to its initial settings. The system hasn't made many Correction to the game's design; it has simply Manifestation it into a realistic world."
The initial settings?
Oh, okay, this private server was developed by himself, and it really didn't have any anti-addiction measures. Players can log in whenever they want.
Just then, a strange "hehehe" laugh suddenly rang out from the sky. The sound was extremely unpleasant and disgusting.
A moment later, a figure in azure blue descended from the sky and landed in front of Ling Yi.
"Heh, so you're Ling Yi, the current number one player in the game?" The man looked Ling Yi up and down, his face full of disdain and arrogance as he spoke.
Ling Yi: "..."
Dream Reincarnation: Who is this guy?!
If the author doesn't know who he is, then Ling Yi naturally doesn't know who he is either.
"I guess he's the Protagonist from one of those brainless novels?" Ling Yi analyzed.
