Online game: Thunder Tyrant, I have infinite critical hits!

Jiang Yan opened the comments section, which was very lively. There were exclamations, doubts, and some netizens even revealed that they had also found traces of giant beasts in the wild.

Someone even posted a picture of a wild boar. This wild boar was very strong, standing two meters tall and five meters long, with bristles all over its body and blood-red eyes, exuding wildness!

The comments below all said it was fake.

Jiang Yan took a closer look, but couldn't tell if it was real or photoshopped.

Exiting the comments section, Jiang Yan continued scrolling down, seeing videos of female internet celebrities dancing, female stars dancing, and even a video of Liang Ge cheering for PG1, which had somehow become popular again.

After scrolling for a while, another news item related to giant beasts popped up. This time it was about hamsters. In Wencheng, it was said that there was a white hamster the size of a calf in the underground sewers with blood-red eyes. It had already bitten several people to death, and even the special police had been dispatched!

Then I came across all sorts of random videos, like houses suddenly catching fire in the middle of the night, and houses being inexplicably flooded even though the taps weren't turned on.

"People these days really have no bottom line when it comes to getting clicks." Jiang Yan was feeling a bit sleepy and was about to put down his phone when he suddenly saw a flash of electricity on the screen, accompanied by a crackling sound!

Jiang Yan was startled and quickly released his phone!

How could there be a short circuit?

Jiang Yan hurriedly looked at the phone that had fallen on the bed and discovered that there was a scorch mark on the screen.

"My screen!" Jiang Yan felt a pang of heartache. This Xiaomi phone had been with him for two and a half years, and he never expected it to leak electricity today!

In the past, he would have at least posted a short video complaining about the phone brand, and he would have even prepared the opening line: "I just..."

and many more!

Even a short circuit wouldn't damage the screen...

Jiang Yan suddenly remembered the video of the fire going off and the water coming out that he had just seen.

Could it be... that it's all true?

There are also giant pythons, giant hamsters, and Brother Liang giving a shout-out... Oh, and the last one is definitely real.

Oh right, what's the status of Liu Bo's parents' case?

Jiang Yan suddenly remembered something and quickly turned on his phone again.

Although the screen is cracked, it is still usable.

Jiang Yan searched the area and found that the case was still unsolved and Liu Bo had not yet been apprehended.

The missing Li Shiyin has not been found either.

Jiang Yan looked serious. He first bought a Chrysanthemum phone online, and then lay on the bed to think.

He remembered Lei Hu mentioning that Liu Bo's parents died in a gruesome manner, seemingly cut open with a chainsaw.

Thinking of the fire, the water, the giant python, the giant hamster, and the electric current just now... an incredible conjecture suddenly surged into Jiang Yan's mind.

The game... has become reality?

Liu Bo's parents were not killed by chainsaws, but rather their bodies were cleaved open with a jumping slash.

No, no, no, I must have been playing too many games.

But if it's true...

Jiang Yan suddenly reached out and pointed to a decoration next to the bedside table, then whispered, "Lightning spell!"

"Chain Lightning!!"

"Lightning Cinema!!!"

Jiang Yan used all his strength, but unfortunately, not a fart came out!

I guess I was overthinking it.

Luckily, no one was here... Jiang Yan yawned and turned over to sleep.

Just as he closed his eyes, a barely perceptible purple lightning flashed at his fingertips, disappearing in an instant.

……

Jiang Yan woke up at dawn and was starving. Ordering takeout would be a waste of time, so he quickly made himself a bowl of instant noodles.

After finishing his meal, Jiang Yan hurriedly lay down in the game pod.

Zhurong City.

Silent Rainforest.

After logging in, Jiang Yan opened his friends list, but Xiao Dongxie was not online yet.

Well, Black Zhou fishermen didn't have any either.

Just then, a silent purple python darted silently towards Jiang Yan from the shadows.

By this time, Jiang Yan had become very experienced in combat. He immediately moved sideways upon hearing the slightest sound, narrowly avoiding the purple python's sneak attack!

This snake looks a bit like… Jiang Yan frowned slightly, the more he looked at it, the more it resembled the one he had seen in a short video before.

"Hiss!!" Seeing that its sneak attack had failed, the Silent Purple Python roared and activated its silence skill, while its giant tail lashed out at Jiang Yan!

Jiang Yan calmly retreated to avoid the snake's tail. After a moment of silence, he swiftly and cleanly fired a lightning bolt, sending the purple python flying.

[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing the Silent Purple Python, experience +180]

Seeing that Xiao Dongxie was not online, Jiang Yan went to a nearby tributary of the Nu River and jumped in!

The surging river submerged Jiang Yan, but the water-repelling beads in his backpack emitted a halo of light in time, isolating him from the river.

Downstream of the Nujiang River tributaries live various ferocious fish, snakes, crocodiles, and other creatures. After Jiang Yan fell into the water, these monsters immediately surrounded him.

Jiang Yan accepted all comers and immediately used his Lightning Strike ability to spin in place.

Crack!

Blinding lightning flashed brilliantly beneath the river, accompanied by a muffled roar, as monsters floated belly-up to the surface.

[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing a piranha that is above their level. Experience +350]

[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing the Thunder Eel, a level above their own! Experience +405]

[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing the Ghost Eel, a level above their own! Experience +445]

[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing the Bone Crocodile, a level above their own! Experience +365]

……

After practicing alone for half a morning, accompanied by a system notification, Jiang Yan finally leveled up!

[Ding~ Congratulations on reaching level 28! You are rewarded with 4 free attribute points]

As usual, Jiang Yan added the attribute points to his Spirit and glanced at his level: lv28 (50/4240000)!

"The experience required to level up is getting higher and higher." Jiang Yan calculated that at his current leveling speed, it would take at least six or seven hours.

He opened the level leaderboard again, and the Dark Emperor had already reached level 32 with 48%!

Forget it, I won't compare myself to that cheater!

Jiang Yan calmed down and leveled up quickly.

But a short while later, Bafanglaicai suddenly messaged him: Brother, I've found a buyer for you, but the other party is very demanding and is only willing to give 9 pieces!

9?

Jiang Yan was taken aback, then remembered that he had asked Bafanglaicai to exchange gold for the [Critical Strike Stone].

Jiang Yan asked: "Nine level 1 [Critical Strike Stones] can be exchanged for one piece of gold equipment?"

"May wealth come from all directions": The other party wants to exchange two items, and I've been trying to negotiate the price for a long time, but I can't raise it.

Jiang Yan frowned slightly, but quickly agreed.

The two pieces of gold equipment are worth approximately 240,000 gold coins, which is equivalent to 11 million in cash. Their value definitely exceeds that of 9 level 1 [Critical Strike Stones]!

But for Jiang Yan, the [Critical Strike Stone] is priceless!

As long as he could achieve a 100% critical hit rate… Jiang Yan’s eyes flashed with a sharp light. He then charged ashore, eagerly pulling out a [Return Scroll] and immediately returning to town. (7 Return Scrolls remaining)

Arriving in Snow Fox City via the teleportation array, Jiang Yan quickly went to the Treasure Pavilion of Eight Directions Wealth.

The wealth from all directions and the buyers have arrived.

After nodding to Bafanglaicai, Jiang Yan looked the buyer up and down.

The buyer was physically strong and was probably a soldier, but he was wearing a straw hat, so his face was not visible.

"Let's make a deal!" the buyer grumbled, initiating an anonymous transaction with Jiang Yan.

In anonymous transactions, neither party can see the other's ID.

Jiang Yan had no reason to refuse and agreed immediately.

Then, one of them placed 9 level 1 [Critical Strike Stones], and the other placed [Black Magic Bracers] (Gold) and [Forest Armor] (Gold).

After each person clicked to lock the deal, the two successfully completed the transaction.

Looking at the nine level 1 [Critical Strike Stones] in his backpack, Jiang Yan felt his blood boil.

The buyer simply turned and left.

"Brother Jiang, um..." Bafang Laicai cautiously began, "That buyer, actually..."

"What? Are they my enemies?" Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow. "People from the [Prosperous Dynasty]?"

"Of course not." Bafang Laicai quickly shook his head: "They are from Stardust, but Stardust seems to be planning to ally with the Dark Empire. Although I don't know what will happen next, but..."

"I know what you're worried about," Jiang Yan waved his hand to interrupt him. "Don't worry, I need these [Critical Strike Stones] more than the other side!"

Jiang Yan would stop at nothing to maximize the critical hit rate!
