Chapter 269: Chapter 249: “I wish you success in upgrading, we will et again.
At this mont, there was less than a minute left until the end of Deadly Tower.
No more monsters were spawning.
The space had fallen into absolute silence.
Only Chen Yi, suspended in mid-air, hung his head low without any movent, as if he were extrely exhausted and had sunk into a deep sleep.
…
The Blue Star players watching the live stream fell into silence.
This was Chen Yi’s fifth and last action as the Arena Master.
Presently, the likelihood of success seed as improbable as calculating the final digits of pi.
There was simply no chance of overcoming the challenge.
But… it was also the first ti they learned just how high the difficulty of the 100th floor of Deadly Tower was, and at that mont, nearly every player had one thought in mind: let whoever wants to attempt the Deadly Tower do so—they wouldn’t go.
With such difficulty, the mont they entered, they might as well be declared dead.
“Huh!”
“Even though I’ve seen this scene once before,” said Zhou Ziqiang, the president of Skywake, sitting in his chair and looking at the scene on the screen, his eyes filled with shock as he murmured, “it’s just as astonishing every ti. Is this truly the level of power a player should have at this stage?”
“How should one deal with a person like this?”
“What kind of strategy would it take to kill soone like him?”
Standing by his side, Chu Ge silently listened to the president’s words and opened Chen Yi’s chat panel. He composed a ssage and sent it over.
‘Reporting to Yi, Zhou Ziqiang is contemplating how to strategize and kill you.’
He was the local resident of Black Trench City who had twice shown Yi the way. Later, after an incident at Skywake, he was assigned to Skywake as the vice president, tasked with surveillance to prevent a recurrence of the previous event.
…
Zhou Ziqiang, still in shock, suddenly thought of sothing and turned his head with a complex look to ask Chu Ge at his side, “Brother, I was just expressing my amazent. You haven’t told Chen Yi that I’m thinking about how to kill him, have you?”
“No.”
Chu Ge seriously shook his head, “I never falsely report.”
“That’s good.”
After replying, Chu Ge silently sent another ssage to Chen Yi.
‘Zhou Ziqiang just asked if I conveyed his words to you, Yi. I resisted the pressure and chose to deny it.’
…
“Yi seems to have been quite injured?”
Sword Without End frowned slightly as he looked at Chen Yi on the screen.
He rarely saw Yi wounded; it wasn’t a common sight.
Despite being in Hell, he could still see Yi’s Arena Master video, but of course, without the right to challenge — Hell Players do not have the qualification to challenge.
While Hell Players mostly differ insubstantially from Blue Star players, there are still so minor differences.
“He should be fine.”
Jiaye shook her head, and though there was worry in her eyes, she still spoke, “In Yi’s current state, he can use Absolute Purification an unlimited number of tis. Even if there are injuries, they would heal instantly, though it might hurt.”
She and Sword Without End were sitting in a coffee shop deep in Hell, watching Chen Yi’s live broadcast.
At this mont, nearly all the players in the coffee shop were also watching the live broadcast.
Although they were not qualified to challenge, this didn’t prevent them from watching.
After all, there were very few entertainnt activities deep in Hell.
To be precise, even on Blue Star, entertainnt activities were sowhat scarce, not because the advent of the ga destroyed most of them, but because in an environnt where no one knows when they might die, fewer and fewer players have the heart to participate in such leisure.
…
“Yi is so cool.”
Under the rooftop of the Garden District, Tuberculosis Rabbit couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazent, “Single-handedly fighting millions of monsters and annihilating them all.”
“Such a feat is outrageous. If this scene were recorded in the annals of history, thousands of years later, our descendants might regard this passage as mythical exaggeration, never imagining it to be a real event.”
anwhile, Tie Chui, sitting by his side, though silent, nodded earnestly in agreent.
…
“It’s over.”
In a conference room on Neutron Star, Qiu Hao, the person in charge of Tianxia Pavilion on Solar Star, looked at Chen Yi on the screen with a complex expression, feeling a hint of shock in his heart for the first ti.
This Chen Yi… Does he really have the strength of a player still in the Newbie Protection Period?
It was truly frightening.
There was an unspoken rule on Sky Demon Star: after killing a monster, one must imdiately move locations.
Otherwise, more and more monsters would swarm in until all the monsters in the area were dead.
Sky Demon Star was divided into twenty regions!
Each region was ho to millions of monsters, which would respawn after dying, at a rate every ten minutes. This ant the monsters in a region could never be fully slain.
Unless one managed to kill all the monsters in a region within ten minutes.
Once the monsters in a region were completely killed, no more would respawn there, indicating the region had been completely tad.
And the spot where Chen Yi just fought was the center of four such regions.
In just half an hour.
Chen Yi had killed all the monsters from these four regions without a single survivor.
Now, the progress of taming Sky Demon Star had reached “25%!”
5% was the progress of taming achieved by all the players of Star System No. 3 over nearly three months before this; Chen Yi had added another 20% all by himself.
The feat was nothing short of terrifying.
But soon, Qiu Hao’s lips curved into a smile. The vast amount of Props piled on the ground like snow, Chen Yi couldn’t take any with him—these were theirs for the taking.
Then the people in the conference room exchanged glances, each seeing the excitent in the other’s eyes.
So many Props, possibly even over a dozen Grade A Props. Even with so many people to share among, they stood to gain a trendous benefit; the deal was too profitable to pass up.
Chen Yi was much stronger than they had imagined.
But just as Qiu Hao had said, having great strength didn’t an much; it was one’s position in the dinsions that determined fate.
Subsequently.
Unable to resist the temptation, Qiu Hao controlled a drone on Sky Demon Star, flying it in front of Chen Yi and projecting his own body before him.
…
“Let introduce myself.”
Chen Yi, still dazed from enduring too much pain, suddenly heard a voice near his ear, and instinctively looked up to see a drone appearing out of nowhere, along with the hologram of a young man in a suit sitting in a chair.
The young man had a smile on his face as he held a glass of red wine and looked at him with amusent.
“I am Qiu Hao, the person in charge at Tianxia Pavilion on Solar Star.”
“Are you wondering why the 100th floor of Deadly Tower is so difficult? Where this is?”
“This is Sky Demon Star, a map with extrely high difficulty within the Neutron Star System for pioneering.”
“I’m sorry to have used you a bit. You’re stronger than we thought and have completely cleared out four areas, dropping over a hundred thousand props, including several A-grade items.”
“We are very satisfied with this wealth.”
“Of course, I know I’ve used you, and you must be angry and frustrated right now. I should have stayed hidden in the shadows to avoid your resentnt.”
“But…”
Qiu Hao paused and turned his head seemingly helplessly, “As a victor, it would be too frustrating if I couldn’t proclaim my achievents to the world.”
“So I just couldn’t help but co out and show off a little.”
“And as you can see, I am a young person and naturally lack the maturity and steadiness of middle-aged people.”
“For a young person to have a bit of spirit is quite normal, right?”
Chen Yi, floating in mid-air, lifted his head and calmly looked at the hologram of the young man before him, then suddenly let out a light chuckle, “Qiu Hao of Solar Star? You say you’re using ?”
“That’s right.”
“Ah!”
Suddenly pretending to be scared, Qiu Hao covered his mouth and yelled, “I almost forgot you’ll be leaving Blue Star in eight months. Then you might co seeking revenge; I’m so scared, what should I do!”
Then his tone changed, and he laughed with contempt in his eyes.
“But I’m sorry, Solar Star has been preparing for a second upgrade recently.”
“With these props in hand, Solar Star can fully upgrade to level three within eight months.”
“At that ti, we will leave the Neutron Star System.”
“So what if you do co out? You won’t be able to find .”
“Just write off this debt.”
Chen Yi nodded calmly and flexed his body, looking at the countdown of only 10 seconds left before getting kicked off the map, he stretched to clear his head a bit, with no visible anger on his face.
“We will et, and soon. I won’t make you wait too long.”
“When we et again, I hope you can keep smiling just like now.”
“Solar Star?”
“That planet doesn’t an much to exist anyhow.”
Qiu Hao was stunned for a mont, a flicker of fear indiscreetly surfaced from beneath, as if Chen Yi’s words truly ant that he could find him very soon. But he quickly regained composure, angry at his lapse.
“Dropping a fierce line because you feel humiliated?”
“Players in the Newbie Protection Period can’t leave Blue Star through any ans.”
“You think you can co out?”
“You don’t think so?”
“I wish you success with the upgrade. We’ll et again.”
Chen Yi smirked, then his body turned into a shadow and left the map.
He was now in an unlimited cooldown state.
In the previous minute, he had used the B-grade skill “Requesting the Mandate of Heaven” dozens of tis in succession.
Normally, this skill had a cooldown, six hours. But in this state, he could use this skill with no cooldown at all.
But there was no avoiding consumption.
Ordinarily in this state, using any skill would cost him nothing, but this skill did. Nevertheless, it was understandable given that this skill could grant almost anything for a price; if it had no cost, that bug would be huge.
He had asked “Requesting the Mandate of Heaven” more than a dozen questions.
They were—
“Is this man who claims to be Qiu Hao from Solar Star?”
“How can I leave the Newbie Protection Period planet?”
“How can I kill the man before ?”
“How can I declare war on Solar Star?”
“How to…”
Until the last question.
“Can I make him the map boss when Solar Star undergoes its second upgrade?”
Answer.
“Possible, but the cost is 5 million Points.”
…
ps: These two chapters were ant for yesterday, and there will be more tonight. Originally, I had scheduled them to be auto-published last night, but when I woke up at noon, I realized from a ping in the readers’ group that I had inadvertently set them for tonight instead.
Feeling rather speechless.
I got up without even washing my face, turned on the computer, and hurriedly uploaded the chapters that should have gone live last night.
There will still be updates tonight, and these two chapters aren’t today’s update; they are from yesterday.
