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

Blending into the mountains and rivers, forming a hidden paradise?

Jiang Yan was both surprised and delighted as he looked at the new hidden information.

The good news is that this ancient painting can still be explored; the bad news is that it must be integrated with the mountains and rivers!

After putting the ancient painting into his backpack, Jiang Yan immediately began to think about where to integrate it.

The maps in "Peak" are numerous, ranging from small wastelands and wild boar forests to large Flaming Mountains and even the Broken Sky Mountain Range that stretches for thousands of miles, all of which meet the requirements of ancient paintings.

But there is a prerequisite: this place must never be discovered by outsiders, or even if it is discovered, they cannot enter!

Then it can only be...

"Newbie Village!" Jiang Yan's eyes gleamed. He was too lazy to play along with the Peerless War God and the others, so he directly took out a [Return to Town Scroll] and tore it open.

With a flash of white light, Jiang Yan's figure disappeared from the stone chamber.

Back at the Xingtian City teleportation array, Jiang Yan immediately teleported to the novice village at 142857.

As soon as they arrived, they were blocked by countless new players and couldn't move!

"What the hell!" Jiang Yan looked around and saw that the newbie village square was packed with players, shoulder to shoulder, a sea of ​​people as far as the eye could see!

Since the official announcement by the government, the popularity of "Peak" has reached an explosive level, with hundreds of millions of "newcomers" flocking to the game, hoping to awaken through the game and become extraordinary!

As a result, all the newbie villages were overcrowded again, even more so than on the first day of the server launch!

Just ...

"Holy crap, this game is amazing! It's so realistic, no wonder it can invade reality!"

"Gentlemen, I'm eighty years old! Let me out first, or you'll all crush me!"

"I'm Aunt Wang from the neighborhood committee. Let me go first, or I'll get rough!"

"How do you play this game? Can someone give you some pointers?"

"My grandson wants me to play as a priest. Who is a priest?"

The voices of countless middle-aged and elderly people converged in one go, and Jiang Yan was in a daze as if he had been transported to a vegetable market.

He struggled to squeeze his way out of the square, but after only a few meters, an old man grabbed him: "You young man, you have no sportsmanship! Don't you know how to give way to us old folks?"

"Yeah, you actually pushed me, and if you push me sick, will you take care of me?" An older woman grumbled and joined in, "What are you wearing on your head, a straw hat? Why are you wearing it? What's there to be ashamed of? Take it off so I can see!"

Jiang Yan felt a chill run down his spine and quickly cast the Fire Resistance Ring.

boom!

The crimson ring of fire instantly swept away the old men and women around him. Jiang Yan pressed down his straw hat and quickly squeezed outwards.

After spending twenty minutes squeezing out of the square, Jiang Yan was exhausted, feeling even more tired than when fighting a Dark Gold BOSS!

He dared not linger there and fled from the beginner village as if escaping.

Outside the village, all the maps were crowded with people, mostly middle-aged people around forty years old, who were having a great time playing with wooden sticks to throw fireballs and wooden swords to poke pigs' butts.

Among them are many people with outstanding temperament, who exude the aura of a master even when dressed in beginner's clothes.

"Young man, are you a high level?" Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Yan came out, a middle-aged man who looked every bit the bumpkin from a small town blocked his way and said with a grin, "Help me level up, and I'll give you money!"

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry." Jiang Yan quickly walked past him.

The unsophisticated shopkeeper puffed out his belly and said, "Young man, don't rush, name your price first!"

You want me to name a price?

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you..." Jiang Yan said with a playful smile, "Fifty million."

"I didn't ask... You fucking think I'm a foreigner and trying to rip me off!" the local boss roared.

Jiang Yan shrugged, broke free from him, and quickly left.

After the newbie village experienced explosive growth, all the maps were also overcrowded. From the Wild Boar Forest to the Tiger Forest, there were newbie players of level 1, level 2, and even level 0 everywhere!

Jiang Yan kept walking and quickly passed through the Tiger Forest to reach the Bear Forest.

This is already the highest level map in the beginner village, but even so, there are still quite a few players scattered around.

Jiang Yan had no choice but to continue on his journey.

An hour later, Jiang Yan had arrived at the deepest part of the Bear Forest, a dense forest inhabited by a large number of earth bears, a nightmare for novice players.

But in Jiang Yan's eyes, these bears were no different from clay figures; a single chain lightning strike could wipe out a large number of them.

After clearing out the nearby monsters, Jiang Yan found a good spot and took out the ancient painting from his backpack.

He opened the ancient painting, and then... he didn't know what to do next.

"Integrating ancient paintings into mountains and rivers... there's no system notification for that."

Jiang Yan tried placing the ancient painting on the grass, on the rocks, and even hanging it on a southeast branch, but unfortunately no unusual phenomena appeared.

"Is something wrong?"

Just as Jiang Yan was holding the ancient painting, at a loss for what to do, a strange figure silently appeared behind him!

Jiang Yan was no longer the same as before. He immediately put the ancient painting into his backpack and quickly turned around to chant his skill.

Lightning surged above [Ice Sorrow], but in the next instant, the lightning abruptly went out!

"You...you!!" Jiang Yan stared incredulously at the black-robed man before him: "A dimensional merchant?!"

"Young man, we meet again." The dimensional merchant's face was full of friendly smiles, a stark contrast to their first meeting!

"Yes, it's great to see you again, sir. I've been looking for you all this time. Where have you been?" Jiang Yan's words were full of surprise!

You should know that in order to find a merchant from another dimension, Jiang Yan did not hesitate to hire three members of a gold-farming team for a long time, making them mine in three shifts around the clock, just to wait for the right opportunity!

I never expected to see him here again!

Jiang Yan was overjoyed and could hardly contain himself!

"It's truly fate that we meet again," the interdimensional merchant said with a squinting smile. "How about it? It's been so long, young friend. Do you have any rare treasures? We can barter, and I guarantee you'll leave with a full load!"

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan instantly became wary, but remained outwardly calm, saying, "Yes! This [Ice Sorrow] in my hand is forged from +15 quality ebony and a large amount of ice-type spirit ore. Wouldn't you consider it a rare treasure?"

The interdimensional merchant glanced at it casually and scoffed, "I have a whole bunch of spiritual artifacts of this quality here. If you like, I can give you a wholesale price!"

"Wholesale price, really?" Jiang Yan feigned surprise. "What do you want?"

The interdimensional merchant chuckled, "I know a collector who loves collecting ancient paintings. I just saw one in your hand; how about we trade it? Hmm, I'll give you ten spirit weapons!"

"..." Jiang Yan's lips twitched.

He was puzzled as to why the interdimensional merchant had suddenly appeared; it turned out he was after the ancient painting in his hand!

Is it really that naive of him to think he can exchange ten magical artifacts for his ancient painting?

This ancient painting contains all the rare and exotic flowers and herbs of the Flaming Mountain. Its value is immeasurable. Even if it were a divine artifact, Jiang Yan would have to think twice, let alone a mere ten spiritual artifacts!

However, this person in front of me is a transdimensional merchant. If I rashly refuse, what will happen if he refuses to sell me anything in the future?
