"Ding ~, everyone else:!"
System Announcement: Player "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand" has become the first Level 80 player to trigger the 1.20 World Famous Generals update. At the same time, Floating Ice City's "Return of the King" has been updated. Player "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand" has been rewarded with Luck + 2, Level + 3, and the item "Purple Dragon Howl". "Everyone else:!"
… …
Two system announcements popped up in a row. I finally stood out from the crowd. I was the first person to reach Level 80 in China, or even the entire world. I hadn't thought that I would have such a day!
I reached Level 83 in an instant. I also got an item called Purple Dragon Howl. What was that? Equipment, weapon, or something else?
In any case, the name sounded really cool!
I hurriedly opened my bag, but I didn't find any new weapons or equipment. Instead, I found a skill book glowing with purple light in the corner. Damn, it's a skill book?!
I picked up the book and waved my hand over it. The details of the skill immediately appeared in front of me — [Purple Dragon Howl] (Legendary): Gather a large amount of purple dragon energy and unleash a dragon howl that deals heavy damage to the target in front of you. Usage Requirement: 100% HP, 100% MP. After using the skill, the player will enter a weakened state for 3 seconds. Defense will be reduced to 0. Cooldown: 12 hours. Level Requirement: 80. Class Requirement: Melee. Luck Requirement: 5. Reputation Requirement: 30000!
… …
Fuck, it really was a divine skill, and a skill of mass destruction at that. Its damage must be crazy, or it wouldn't have so many usage requirements. I just so happened to meet all of these requirements. Level 83, melee, 7 Luck, over 50k Reputation, hahaha!
The next moment, the skill book disappeared and appeared in my skill window — [Purple Dragon Howl] LV-1, Attack + 20%...
Tsk tsk, Level 1 already increased his Attack Power by 20%. At Level 10, wouldn't there be a 200% increase in Attack Power? Wouldn't that be incredible?
However, upgrading a skill with a 12-hour cooldown to Level 10 was easier said than done. It might take a year or two, but it didn't matter. I could take it slow. I had a lot of time right now. Fans loved to read: Kung Fu Fan.
The server needed maintenance, and I wouldn't be able to go online for 10 hours. Hmm, that's about it. I should find a place to test the power of Purple Dragon Howl first.
I looked at Xinran curled up in the corner of the bed.
I walked up to her and gave her a hug. "Xinran, I'm leaving now. I'll see you in a bit!"
"En, Big Brother, go ahead …"
Xinran didn't look up. She was still sobbing.
…
After leaving the town, I went straight to the west side of Frost Forest. I remembered that there were many high-level Greedy Wolves there. I could use them as practice targets!
Not long after, Wildfire Greedy Wolves appeared in the forest one after another. They were Level 80 Common monsters with around 10,000 HP!
I dashed over and aggroed a group of Greedy Wolves. Then, I pulled away from them and turned around. Purple Dragon Howl required 1-2 seconds of channeling time, so I definitely couldn't be interrupted. Otherwise, all my efforts would be for naught.
Activate skill, Purple Dragon Howl!
Suddenly, a powerful energy surged into my body. I had no choice but to use it. In the next moment, the energy surged out of my body and gathered on the Purgatory Sword. It quickly formed the shape of a purple dragon and circled around the tip of the sword, ready to attack at any moment. I didn't use the skill directly. Instead, I used it on my own!
Awesome! This skill is so user-friendly! It's so easy to use!
I abruptly swung the sword forward, and a purple dragon immediately pounced at the Greedy Wolves!
Roar!
Amidst the loud dragon roar, the purple dragon's body grew larger and instantly engulfed the group of Greedy Wolves in front of it. Moreover, the purple dragon flew back and forth, wreaking havoc. After repeated attacks, a large group of Greedy Wolves were brutally trampled and died in battle. One after another, high damage numbers flew up —
“11667！”
“12271！”
… …
Mn, my attack power definitely increased by more than 20%, or I wouldn't be able to deal more than ten thousand damage!
The purple dragon killed at least 50 Greedy Wolves in one go, but there were still a few that managed to escape the net and pounced at me. At the same time, I felt dizzy, and I felt like I was about to collapse!
Damn, I forgot about the 3 seconds of weakness. My Defense was 0, so I was very fragile right now!
I hurriedly retreated and held the Purgatory Sword in front of my chest. My cloak fluttered behind me, and I instantly assumed a Guard stance. If I wanted to live, I had to rely on my Guard skill!
The Greedy Wolves waved their sharp claws and slapped the ground, dealing a string of damage numbers — — "765!"
“213！”
“1！”
“984！”
“2！”
… …
Too valiant, there was actually a damage value of 1. Defensive skills were indeed very powerful!
"Gulp!"
I chugged down a health potion and recovered my HP. Okay, the three seconds were up. The weakened state was gone, and my Defense rose to over 1000. Very good, the Greedy Wolves couldn't break through my Defense at all. The other readers looked at me normally.
After killing the escaped Greedy Wolves, He Yi sent me a message: "Lu Chen, we're going offline. The server is going to be under maintenance soon!"
"Mn, I'm going offline too!"
I set up a tent at the entrance of Xinran's hometown. It was fine to spend the night there.
… …
I logged off.
I checked the time. It was past 5 pm. To complete the quest, I didn't even eat lunch, but my rewards were pretty good. I leveled up from Level 78 to Level 83, and I got a King-rank skill, Purple Dragon Howl. This skill was so powerful that it was probably one of a kind at the current stage of the game, especially in a PvP battle. Once the enemy organized a defense line, Purple Dragon Howl was the trump card that could tear through their defense line!
Delighted, I walked out of the room and found that the girls were already dressed and ready to go out.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"The base!"
He Yi smiled. "I invited Xu Yang, Du Thirteen, Gui Guzi, Yamete, Chaos Moon, and the others. Today, while the server is under maintenance, we're going to have a meal with the core members of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls."
"Oh, I'm so sorry. What should I wear there …"
"Don't you only have two sets of clothes?" Murong Mingyue said with a smile.
"Fuck ~ ~"
I rolled my eyes. Fine, as a normal man, I maintained at least two or three sets of clothes all year round. It was fine as long as I had enough to wear. It wasn't like I had to be a gigolo.
After a bit of preparation, it was getting late, so we set off. Everyone else:!
I was driving, and Murong Mingyue's A8 was full of horsepower. The three girls rushed onto the highway, overtaking countless cars and earning countless drivers' drool.
The dinner location was set at the ZhongTian Hotel in the city. There weren't many people, only 12 to a table, so it didn't cost much. Murong Mingyue was the one who paid for it. She was He Yi's assistant, and she had a lot of financial power in her hands.
When we arrived at the hotel, Xu Yang, Gui Guzi, and the others were already waiting for us. Du Thirteen came up to us and said with a smile, "You're finally here. Let's go eat, I'm starving!"
"Fuck!"
I punched him and said with a smile, "How have you been these days?"
Du Thirteen laughed. "Not bad, not bad."
Gui Guzi added with a smile, "It's not bad. I wanted to date Chaos Moon, but she didn't work out. I even tried to woo Moonlight Stone. Sigh, Brother B's legend of love has been completely shattered..."
I couldn't help but smile in surprise. "Really?
Back in school, Thirteen was a true legend. He changed girlfriends faster than I changed my bedsheets! "
He Yi laughed softly. "You changed your bedsheets too quickly, didn't you?"
"Ahem..." I felt a bit awkward and looked at Du Thirteen. "Why didn't you succeed?
Logically speaking, Chaos Moon and Moonlight Stone are both good beauties. With your skills, you shouldn't have failed. "
Du Thirteen pouted. Let's not talk about it. The past was unbearable.
Yamete laughed loudly and said, "Let me do the talking!
When Thirteen tried to woo Chaos Moon, she said, "What are your strengths?
You're not as rich as Li Le, not as skillful as Lu Chen, not as tenacious as Gui Guzi, not as brave as Xu Yang, and not as fat as Yamete. What right do you have to woo her? "
He Yi and Murong Mingyue burst into laughter. Everyone was amused. We didn't think that Chaos Moon would choose a boyfriend so differently.
Not far away, Chaos Moon and Moonlight Stone walked over and asked, "What are you laughing at, everyone?"
"N-nothing!" Everyone shook their heads.
He Yi leaned against me and said with a smile, "If that's the case, I'm afraid Chaos Moon will never find a boyfriend she's satisfied with."
I nodded. "Mn!"
… …
Everyone entered the private room and formed a circle. The four of us from the Frost Cloud workshop and the main force of the Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls base made a total of 12 people.
Xu Yang had already ordered the dishes. He had hung out with He Yi and Murong Mingyue for a long time, so he could be considered to have seen the world. Otherwise, if he gave the menu to Gui Guzi, he would definitely ask in surprise, "What is this dish called Clear Sky in Broad Daylight?
Ah, stir-fried cabbage? Holy shit, one cabbage costs 88 RMB? What a scam! I'm done! "
Of course, the waiter would definitely say that the cabbage was watered with imported wine, so it tasted rich and fragrant, which was why it was so expensive. In fact, it was just a few drops of counterfeit Erguotou before it was taken out of the pot. In this world, fraudulent spending was everywhere. Everyone knew that.
After the dishes were served, He Yi opened a couple of bottles of red wine. They were all the 500 RMB kind. If the price was too high, it would be extravagant. If it was too low, it wouldn't show off the aura of a vice president of GGS. 500 RMB was just right. At the very least, it was enough to make Xu Yang, Du Thirteen, Yamete and the rest drunk.
He Yi raised her glass with a joyful smile on her face. "Mn, this is the first toast to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls. For our dream of dominating the virtual world, come, cheers!"
"Yes!"
Everyone raised their glasses in unison and downed everything in one go. It was so expensive that it hurt my heart.
