"Ugh..."
The group of people involuntarily retreated, their throats twitching as they let out beast-like noises.
I glanced at it. I didn't have much time left. There were only 18 seconds left before I would truly step into the Holy Domain and return to the embrace of level 0. Furthermore, all of my equipment and sharp sword would be absorbed as the price for me to obtain a super high growth star.
I looked around coldly, and the surrounding players involuntarily shivered.
I did not dare. My hair turned indigo, and even my eyes turned indigo. It would be strange if I was not scared out of my wits if I was looked at like that.
Time passed second by second —
“17！”
“16！”
“15！”
… …
“3！”
“2！”
“1！”
Finally, my body shook, as though my soul had left my body. That feeling was indescribable. All my Heavenly Forged equipment, Moonlight Ice Blade, Firmament Necklace, Ice Dragon Ring, Flame Dragon Shield, etc all turned into rays of light and entered my body.
Soon, I was completely naked, and only had the underwear of a newbie.
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, you have officially stepped into the Holy Domain. You have obtained Holy Domain Level 0!
Moreover, as you are the first player to step into the Holy Domain, you have obtained a random equipment attribute. The attribute you have obtained is — Heavenly Strike!
… …
Damn!
Firmament Strike stayed. System God, I thank your entire family!
Not only that, another notification came —
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, your equipment has been fused. Your growth stars are as follows —
Strength: 48 Stars
Stamina: 42 Stars
Agility: 40 Stars
Intelligence: 37 Stars
… …
Heavens!
Am I seeing things?
I rubbed my eyes furiously. What kind of concept was this? It probably surpassed the limits of classes. A player's Strength star actually reached 48. What did this mean?
1 Strength was equivalent to 4.8 Attack Power!
If I gathered my original equipment, my Attack could be close to four times its original!
Along with the energy whirlpool, then wouldn't all bosses be like floating clouds in front of me?
I was overjoyed. After stepping into the Holy Domain, as expected, there were many surprises. Even my trump card, Firmament Strike, was kept. This was great!
However, when I raised my head again, I was speechless.
Right now, I was an unarmed Level 0 noob. Even if you could condense a cyclone and enter the Holy Domain, how could you possibly be a match for a group of Level 230 fully equipped players without any equipment?
Looking at the stats, I had the urge to die —
Frivolous Scholar (Icy Wind Domain) Title: Doomsday
Level: 0 (Sanctuary)
Health: 100
Attack: 1-4 (Sword), 1-2 (Bow)
Defense: 5
Magic Defense: 0
Reputation: 3785700
Luck: 18
Honor Points: 1019520
…
Very good, an ultimate noob was born just like that. With this attribute, if he fought against the American players, he would definitely make those bastards' jaws drop. Heh!
I looked at my bag. My strongest weapon, Ancient Sword Crimson Heaven, was still unusable. It required me to be Holy Domain Level 50, and I was only Level 0. I still had a long way to go.
However, there was another piece of equipment that he could equip. The requirement to use it was the Holy Level 0 Water God's Fury. It was an indigo necklace —
[Water God's Fury] (Earth God Equipment)
Strength: + 3200
Stamina: + 3150
Agility: + 2850
Intelligence: + 2400
Passive: Increases user's Attack by 100%
Passive: Increases user's Magic Resistance by 240%
Passive: [Water God's Fury]
Passive: Requires blood to claim ownership. Cannot be traded, cannot be dropped
Required Level: Holy Domain Level 0
Required Title: Endless Thunder
… …
Without a second word, I hurriedly equipped the necklace. Thus, it was like a naked noob wearing a diamond necklace.
However, the points that Water God's Fury gave were very practical. In an instant, I went from an ultimate noob to an average noob!
Frivolous Scholar (Icy Wind Domain) Title: Doomsday
Level: 0 (Holy Domain)
Health: 132400
Attack: 15361 - 15364 (Sword), 15361 - 15362 (Bow)
Defense: 5
Magic Defense: 0
Reputation: 3785700
Luck: 18
Honor Points: 1019520
… …
1 point of Strength was equivalent to 4.8 Attack Power, and 1 point of Stamina was equivalent to 42 HP. Compared to the original 1 point of Stamina which was equivalent to 10 HP, the difference was too big!
A bunch of American players held their stomachs and laughed. "Wahahaha, this kid actually returned to Level 0. A Level 0 WSL champion, I'm going to die from laughter!"
A Level 221 cloth-armored Mage walked up and taunted, "Expert, come on, kill me!
What happened to your arrogance just now? "
I laughed coldly and shouted, "Transform!"
Hua hua hua!
Energy swirled around me and blue flames covered me. My hair instantly turned indigo!
Don't bully me because my level is low, I will still kill you!
Swirls of air swirled around his fists. His attack power had definitely increased by a lot!
I leaped forward and used my fist to execute Total Annihilation!
Peng peng peng peng peng!
All five hits and the Mage lost more than half of his health!
Again, God Dragon Slash!
Hong!
The whirlwind of his fist rippled through the crowd, and the Mage who bore the brunt of the attack let out a groan. The last of his HP was emptied, and with a cry of agony, he died!
I looked coldly in front of me. The smiles on the American players' faces froze, and shock appeared on their faces once more.
I also knew that even though my Attack had increased due to Water God's Fury, my Defense was really low. The energy whirlpool provided me with a lot of Defense, but the base was too low. Any player in front of me could kill me if they hit me. My Defense was just too low, and it was the same as not adding anything at all. Any player in front of me could kill me if they attacked me.
"Together, use Fireballs to destroy him!" The Mage started to gather magic.
I smiled faintly, "Just you wait, I will return. When that time comes, it will be your end. The humiliation China has suffered today will be returned tenfold in the future!"
Hong!
Countless fireballs flew over. My body hurt and I died.
My vision went dark. I couldn't enter the game, but there was an option to watch the Nation War. When I clicked it, I saw the American players enter the palace. The NPCs of Clear Breeze City led a large group of Imperial Guards to counterattack. It looked like this battle would continue for a long time.
On the interface, the number of spectators: 103782637!
More than a hundred million people were watching the battle, and the chat window was filled with comments. Many, many Chinese players left comments. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, but they were also gratified. Because of my appearance, because the tip of the iceberg of the Holy Domain's power had been revealed before everyone's eyes, it was no longer a dream to take back Cool Breeze City.
… …
I logged off and walked out of my room. I poured a cup of tea in the hall and then sat on the sofa.
Not long after, Qin Yun, Chrysanthemum Daohana, Ling Yue and Ling Xue came out together. The girls' eyes were red.
When they sat down one by one, I comforted them. "Don't be sad. We'll counterattack in a month at most. Hmph!
Clear Breeze City is ours, and we won't let the American players occupy it for too long. "
Ling Yue nodded and lay on the sofa. She murmured, "So tired."
Qin Yun leaned on the coffee table and closed her eyes. They had only slept for two or three hours since last night. They were so tired.
Ling Xue leaned against my shoulder and gave me a fragrant scent. Her long hair flowed into my arms like water. She leaned against me and closed her eyes. She looked incredibly tired.
I squeezed Ling Xue's hand. "Let's go back and sleep?"
Ling Xue didn't open her eyes. She said in a small voice, "I don't want to go back. I don't want … I don't want to be separated from everyone again. Bing … Bing Cha …"
Before she could finish her words, Ling Xue's tears flowed down her long eyelashes and fell to the corners of her eyes.
Qin Yun's shoulders trembled, and she let out soft sobs.
Ling Yue lay on the sofa and stared at the ceiling. She couldn't stop her tears.
I hugged Ling Xue and caressed her long hair. I murmured, "Don't cry. Let's not cry. Everything will get better."
I looked out the window. My chest hurt. This was the place where I had been happy and angry with that beautiful girl. The memories of the past gradually surfaced in my mind. It was heartbreaking.
Was it 10%?
Could there still be a miracle in this world?
… …
Ling Yue and Qin Yun cried until they were tired. They lay on the sofa and fell asleep. Ling Xue leaned against my chest. Her face was covered in tears, and her breathing was light. Occasionally, she would shiver. She looked like she was in a nightmare.
Chrysanthemum Daohana was curled up on the sofa and sleeping peacefully.
Just like that, Xue Yue Studio was silent.
… …
We didn't go online for three whole days. We didn't want to care about the game anymore.
Ling Xue and Ling Yue went to their mother's grave to pay their respects. I went to pay my respects to my sister.
It was April, and the grass was long and the birds were flying. The graveyard was green.
Under the willow tree, there was a bouquet of white flowers in front of my sister's tombstone. They were slightly withered. It looked like someone had paid their respects in the past few days.
Maybe it was her family?
My sister was a good girl. Her family wouldn't forget her so easily. As for me, I might remember her for the rest of my life.
"Xiangxiang, come here. This is your sister."
Behind me, Chrysanthemum Daohana walked to the grave in her new dress. She knelt on the ground and blinked. "Big brother, my sister was so young. Why did she leave the world?"
I smiled. "Because she suddenly doesn't like the man she once loved."
Chrysanthemum Daohana, "Oh?"
She revealed a nervous expression. "Big brother, if one day you don't like Ling Xue anymore, don't leave the world. You still have me."
I couldn't help but laugh. I reached out and scratched her nose. "Of course, I have a sister. My sister doesn't."
Chrysanthemum Daohana smiled.
Xia Zhi, Zi Yue, and Luo Yu stood silently behind us. The three of them were wearing black clothes, black stockings, and black high heels.
Xia Zhi tilted her head and asked, "Brother Scholar, you've already taken Xiangxiang as your sister. Since there isn't one more, why not take me too?"
I turned around and smiled. "No, Xiangxiang is so obedient. If I take you as my sister, I'll have a headache."
Xia Zhi pouted. "Hmph hmph, you're too biased."
I smiled. "Stop talking nonsense. Come and kowtow!"
"Wu..."
After the ceremony, I slowly left. In the distance, Ling Xue and Ling Yue stood up in front of their mother's grave. They looked at the picture on the tombstone reluctantly.
"Let's go!" I pulled Ling Xue's hand.
"En."
The group of people walked on the stone path in the forest. The passersby all had solemn expressions.
Qin Yun said, "It's been three days. Shouldn't we enter the game and plan how to counterattack?"
Ling Xue nodded. "Yes, we should."
Ling Yue smiled. "But our top expert has become the top noob of the studio. What should we do?
Don't forget, Scholar is still level 0! "
"No problem. I'll quickly level up."
"Find someone to help you level!"
Ling Yue smiled. "Don't talk about pride. Even if an expert falls back to level 0, they need someone to level them. If you don't want to, I'll arrange another quest for Ling Xue."
I thought for half a second. "Okay, Ling Xue will help me level in the starting village."
"Why do you want to go to the starting village?"
"Because the Holy Domain information has a rule. Holy Domain players don't get experience if they kill monsters 50 levels higher than themselves."
"OMG!"
Ling Xue sniffled and said with a smile, "This is too OP, but … Shusheng, you look so handsome when you transform into the Heavenly Saint Region. I never thought that you could be so handsome ~ ~"
I smiled. "When you reach Level 255 and enter the Holy Domain, you'll be very handsome too!
Oh right, when I reach Level 255, Qin Yun and I learned a Affection Skill, and Xiangxiang also learned a Affection Skill. "
"Ah?
There's such a thing? "The girls' mouths were wide open.
"Hehe, we'll see when we go online. I wonder if a Level 0 noob like Scholar can use Affection Skills."
"Let's go!"
… …
When we returned to the workshop, we went online together in the cool morning air. This was the first time we entered the game since the Nation War ended.
Whoosh!
As expected, I appeared in the Beginner Village. I was a Level 0 noob with mediocre martial arts. The surrounding noobs didn't even pay attention to my appearance. However, if I transformed into a Holy Domain and formed a cyclone, these people's jaws would probably fall off in shock!
The gold and items were still in my bag. The Ancient Sword Scarlet Heaven lay quietly in the corner, glowing with a fiery red light. Anyone could see that it was a divine weapon.
I went to the Beginner Village's Village Chief to buy some cheap City Return Scrolls. I didn't think that this fellow would unexpectedly say to me with a trembling voice, "Brave warrior, welcome to the Kingdom of Fire and Sword. I have a quest for you. Outside the village, there is a group of mad dogs. You need to kill 10 mad dogs and you can receive the generous reward of 10 copper coins from me. Are you willing to accept this quest?"
I shook my head and refused.
I called out the territory system and returned!
Whoosh!
I appeared in the territory of the King's Capital.
Not far away, Soundless Rain, Zi Yue, and Summer were repairing their equipment. It looked like they were going to grind together.
"Are we going to Sky City?" Zi Yue asked.
"The few of us can't kill Sky City," Soundless Rain said.
"If only Bing Cha was here. She would be willing to take us to FB," Soundless Rain added.
Summer shuddered and looked up at the sky with deep sorrow in her eyes. She murmured, "But … but Bing Cha … she's already …"
But at this moment, he heard a tinkling sound in his ear —
System Notice: Your friend Bing Cha is online!
