Dragon Raja's Number One Player

..........................................

The branch of this World Tree looks ordinary, like a branch that was casually torn off a roadside tree.

However, upon closer inspection, some problems can be found: the branch is divided in half in the middle, with one half withered and yellow, and the other half lush and green.

Growth and death are simultaneously observed on the branches, forming a cycle.

And what lies between life and death is time.

"Holy crap, they actually have something like that!"

If "Shattered Star" was the greatest gain from killing "Odin" before, then compared to this branch, "Shattered Star" can only rank second.

In the previous life, many players obtained "legendary equipment", but none of them obtained "authority" equipment.

The player narrowly escaped death to kill the "King of Bronze and Fire," but due to the presence of Chu Zihang and his dragon-slaying team from the original story, they could only obtain a censored version of the reward.

Players only realized this after learning about the existence of authority from ancient texts.

Following Chu Zihang's subsequent enhancements and the sudden increase in the academy's production of alchemical weapons, some players suspect that the authority the academy obtained is related to forging.

In Dragon Raja: New World, there is a cap on the elemental affinity bonus for each element.

Once the limit is reached, what is needed to continue to break through is "authority".

In other words, power and authority.

Elemental affinity can be described as strength, while "authority" is power.

Furthermore, players suspect that the "Authority" might only drop by killing the "Dragon King".

This is why the "Dragon King" is stronger than other dragons.

Because the "Four Dragon Kings" and the "White King" not only represent the pinnacle of their respective elemental realms, but also wield different "authorities".

However, the "spiritual" aspect is quite special, as there has been no one to hold the relevant "authority" since the death of the "White King".

Lin Zhiying thought to himself, "It's rare that the description of this strange item would say that anyone with dragon blood would need it."

After all, "power" is unique; whoever seizes it first will not be able to possess it again.

If I were to hand over the power of "time" to Xia Mi, it would definitely increase our intimacy level significantly.

However, the idea only flashed through his mind for a moment. Since he knew it was a good thing, why not use it himself?

Moreover, Xia Mi has remained silent and has not contacted him since then. Lin Zhiying guesses that he is still digesting the "authority" contained in "Gungnir".

He silently put the World Tree branch back into his backpack, and would slowly explore its uses later.

The next moment, he suddenly noticed that his friend list was jumping wildly, clearly someone had sent him a message.

He clicked on it and saw that the sender was "Five-Second Hand Speed".

"Holy crap, come to the library, you can actually learn 'Word Magic' here!"

..........................................

The Kassel College is essentially a culmination of European architecture, incorporating elements of ornate Gothic, Byzantine, and modern minimalist styles.

Strolling through the campus, you'll find beautiful scenery everywhere you go.

No wonder some players in the previous game made postcards with pictures of "Kassel College," and they reportedly sold quite well.

Lin Zhiying's gaze was unfocused, but he wasn't looking at the scenery; instead, he was looking at the experience points on the panel that kept jumping up.

If gaining experience points by drinking water was a joke before, it became a reality after entering "Kassel College".

It serves as a key location for the game's main factions and the appearance of characters from the original work.

Players will continuously gain experience as long as they are in "Kassel College"!

There are other benefits to gain from additional reading and learning.

One example is "Word of Power" mentioned in the friend list by "Five-Second Hand Speed".

After walking for a while, a towering Gothic building appeared before him, resembling a church from the outside, if one ignored the crimson walls.

The reason why granite has this color is said to be due to the ancient battle between humans and dragons, where dragon blood seeped into the rock layers, and it has a certain degree of alchemical ductility.

An old-fashioned oil lamp hangs in front of the oak door at the entrance.

Lin Zhiying gently pushed open the door and entered. The library, which was already eight or nine o'clock, was packed with people.

"Bang."

A person bumped into him head-on. Lin Zhiying stood still and barely moved. The person almost fell to the ground, but Lin Zhiying was quick and grabbed him.

"Excuse me."

Lu Mingfei clutched his aching chest and said somewhat embarrassedly.

He came here to return his student handbook; the one Norma had given him before was just a simplified, user-friendly version.

He originally wanted to borrow the complete manual from here, but when he arrived at the library, he found that the complete version was half the size of a bookshelf.

"It's okay, get some rest."

Lin Zhiying spoke up.

I'm really looking forward to your performance tomorrow.

Tomorrow? Lu Mingfei was a little confused. To be honest, he felt that joining "Kassel College" was a mistake because he didn't have that kind of extraordinary ability.

After this little incident, Lin Zhiying continued into the library. If you looked closely, you would find that eight or nine out of ten people sitting in the library were gamers.

It's no easy feat to gather so many players with ADHD here.

Lin Zhiying walked through the desk, the noisy sounds of their voices reaching her ears:

"What do you mean? Cao Cao was defeated at the Battle of Red Cliffs because the Sun-Liu alliance used the 'Great Fire of the River' technique, which they couldn't extinguish?"

"The divine winds that have blown into Japan for countless years are not actually an accident, but rather the result of countless Japanese hybrids simultaneously activating wind-based incantations..."

"Napoleon was able to stage multiple comebacks because he had sold his ass to the Dragon Clan in his early years..."

Each desk has a "silencing" alchemy array; you can only hear these sounds once you actually go inside.

Of course, all of the above fictional content is marked at the end with a note stating that it is fictional by Xuanyu Company and has nothing to do with reality.

But that doesn't matter at all. At least the players are having a great time, and the experience and other things they gain are real.

Just like Lin Zhiying saw on the forum:

"Family members, does anyone know anything about this? I just read a bit of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and somehow unlocked the 'Word of Power: Monarch's Flame' process!"

One player posted a screenshot to show off.

"You're kidding me, why did I only get three experience points after studying for so long?"

"I'm reporting him. I was sitting right next to him because you're reading an adult magazine. What else do you expect to see in it?"

This can be considered one of the Easter eggs that Xuanyu Company buried in the book.

Otherwise, for players, simply reading a book wouldn't be very interesting.

After all, I'm already playing games, why would I read books?

However, if you combine rewards with it, then it's a different story.

With rewards, the nature of the book changes, and many people are willing to pick up the book and flip through it for the sake of experience.

Many of the books in the library were not created out of thin air by Xuanyu Company, but were projected into the game after the copyrights were purchased in reality.

In other words, players can actually learn within the entire company game!

So, I thought I shouldn't say I was playing games. Next time someone asks, I should say I was studying in the game.

I'm moving tomorrow, but since I've taken the day off, it won't affect my regular updates.
