Master Changsheng

Chapter 247, Section 244: Quitting Internet Addiction?

This was just the beginning of Ankai's "discouragement plan".

Let player Li Dabao experience the warmth of their kind family.

Through his personal experience, Li Dabao persuaded more players to give up.

As long as fewer players enter.

Ankai will reduce its dealings with threats from players in the future.

What is this?

This is taking precautions!

"Oh no, oh no!"

An Kai sighed a few times, feigning remorse.

He then turned his attention back to the present.

At this moment, Ankai had not yet removed his [Lord's Domain], and flames still surrounded the area.

Nearly a thousand ninth-tier professionals are still guarding it.

Ankai did this in order to deal with the Great Lord of the Immortal Race.

Didn't he give orders to the ten lords of the Abyss of Wealth, saying that their Hundred Thousand Mountains were unclaimed land and that good families did not belong to the lords' power?

it is good!

Satisfy them!

Just in time, Ankai has already spawned 629 beings of the [Earth] rank!

Even if the other side begs An Kai to come out of seclusion, An Kai will not come out!

...

Last night, he took advantage of a break to rest.

They exchanged the resources collected by the Good House over the years for skill points.

He also manually crafted nearly a hundred [Lord Cores] to use as resources for improving his spells.

Compared to other lords, Ankai's manual crafting of [Lord Core] consumes no resources.

If he wanted, he could mass-produce tens of thousands of [Lord Cores] a day…

Unlike other lords, who can only produce one [Lord Core] per year...

Compared to other lords, the difference between Lord Ankai and a temporary worker is more like that between a permanent employee and a temporary worker.

Regular employees enjoy benefits and a good life, all they have to pay is a small price.

Temporary workers endure hardship and exhaustion, often having to take the blame for others' mistakes. If they fail even slightly, they're fired...

It's not just about using resources; it's about upgrading spell rank.

An Kai's physical talent was also enhanced.

57 years of uninterrupted war.

In addition to Ankai's previously announced "life-life-life" order.

The Green Goblin and the Goblin really went to great lengths to improve Ankai's strength...

With all his heart and soul, and after 57 years of dedicated effort, he successfully contributed 5.1 million [Goblin Cores/Green Demon Cores] to Ankai…

And some other [Abyss of Wealth] creature cores resulting from the war, 3 million.

Ankai spent 2 million [Goblin Core/Green Goblin Core] to further enhance the two effects of [Abyss Body Tempering Technique].

This will enhance his two physical talents.

[Abyss Body Tempering Technique Lv1 '∞/∞': Body Strengthening 'V', Mastering Power Generation Techniques 'V'.]

The "Golden Body" has been upgraded to "Abyssal Body: Guardian"!

The "Great Perfection" has been enhanced into the "Boundary-Breaking Technique: Power"!

After both talents were upgraded.

Ankai received a system notification for the next upgrade.

The minimum required for body enhancement is: 80 million 'Goblin Cores' and 'Abyss Aura Manifestation Cores'.

The highest value is: 500 million 'Goblin Core, Abyss Aura Manifestation Core'.

Master the techniques of generating power.

We're still a ways off from 500 million...

However, with just this one upgrade, An Kai's physical strength increased significantly.

The [Golden Body] has been upgraded to [Abyss Body: Guardian], which not only increases the physical body's defense but also enhances the regeneration of severed limbs.

Even organs below the head can regenerate!

We've taken another giant step closer to a phoenix-like rebirth!

In addition, [Abyss Body: Guardian] also provides Ankai with a "substitute puppet".

It can help him withstand a fatal injury.

If used properly, it's equivalent to having an extra life!

Meanwhile, the "purification" effect that appeared previously with the [Golden Body] has been enhanced this time.

A "bewitching" effect has been added.

Ankai can forcibly change the other party's thoughts according to his will.

For some reason, even though the effects that sounded like they symbolized "goodness" were supposed to be positive, how come the "purification" and "lighting techniques" in my hands all went in a different direction?

Ankai couldn't figure it out, but this kind of "purification" was still quite useful...

As for upgrading 'Great Completion' to 'Boundary-Breaking Technique: Power', that's relatively simple.

From exerting two parts of force to exert ten parts of force, then strengthening it to one part of force, and then exerting ten parts of force again...

Furthermore, this upgrade has evolved into a new effect…

Breaking Boundaries!

It can help Ankai find the weaknesses between the interdimensional portals.

One force can overcome all methods, opening up pathways much faster...

Ankai was quite satisfied with this improvement.

Of course, this is just an improvement in physical talent.

The real big changes are in the improvement of magic...

An Kai opened his personal panel.

【Level Lv1: 10/10 'Locked'】

【Spirit: 10.0000】

[Mana: 10.0000]

[Qi and Blood: 10.0000]

Physical Strength: 10.0000

[Talents: Immortality '∞', Mage Body 'lv8', Abyss Body: Defense, Boundary Breaking Technique: Power.]

[Enchantment: Mage Domain]

[Attribute-Specific: Focuses 'Spirit', Circulates 'Mana', Boosts 'Qi and Blood', and Suppresses 'Physical Strength'.]

[Spell Lv79 'Heroic' 'Tier 6 of Heaven and Earth' '47000/47000': 'Meditation 'Starry Sky, Element'', 'Wind and Fire Blast', 'Elemental Ice Armor', 'Sky Whip', 'Fire, Ice, and Wind Armor', 'Thunderbolt', 'Light Pact/Summon']

[Hint: 5k low-grade + 5k mid-grade + 1k high-grade + 2.7k top-grade]

[Abyss Body Tempering Technique Lv1『∞/∞』: Strengthens the body『V』, Masters power generation techniques『V』]

[Skill 'Legendary': Forging Lv50 '5000/5000']

[Identity: Epic NPC, Spirit Master, Lord of the Abyss of Wealth]

The spell level ultimately stopped at [Lv79], and this time what was missing was not [Lord Core].

Instead, it's [top-tier skill points].

Each spell level upgrade requires 30000 high-quality skill points.

1 Superior Skill Point = 1 Tier 9 Core/Superior Energy Core = 10000 High-Quality Skill Points = ...

A virtuous family can survive for 57 years.

With Ankai absent, the amount of storage that could support him in raising his level to [Lv79] was already quite remarkable.

Before fully upgrading his spells, Ankai had considered specializing in one spell, but after thinking it over, he ultimately chose to upgrade them all.

Because Ankai knew the system's nature.

Raising a spell's level from Lv80 to Lv81 will inevitably bring about a dramatic change.

After careful consideration, we decided to upgrade comprehensively…

There is another reason that can support Ankai's comprehensive improvement.

That means he's preparing to take action against another ten lords—no, another seventeen lords!

One year later, the Grand Lord of the Abyss of Wealth must be his, and can only be his!

One-time [Lord Identity] binding grants Ankai [Lord Core] freedom.

What if it's bound to a [Grand Lord]?

This time, the system interface showed changes to Ankai's spells and physical talents.

An Kai's unchanging identity has been replaced by the new identity of "Abyss of Wealth: Lord," which can be seen as the system's recognition of him.

This also demonstrates that Lord Ankai is different from other lords…

After reflecting on the changes within myself.

With a swift movement, he left the 1,000-square-meter bed.

Only the sleeping elven maid remained.

An Kai's trip was to visit his old friend, Li Dabao.

After a night of torment, I wonder what this guy is thinking...

...

pain!

It hurts so much!

The pain is so intense it's numbing!

Every time Li Dabao woke up from his coma, he couldn't hold on for more than a second before fainting from the pain...

He lost consciousness countless times that night.

This led him to deeply resent this "100% simulation"...

Even if it were just a "one percent simulation"?

If it weren't for advancements in technology, Li Dabao's gaming pod would have continued to maintain his physical functions.

He might be the first person to die from playing games.

However, this also has its downsides.

The game pod maintained his bodily functions, keeping Li Dabao in good health, and he couldn't even force quit...

Every time I wake up, I faint from the pain before I can even exit the cycle...

That night, under Polpi's leadership, numerous creatures began conducting experiments on Li Dabao...

The skeleton was disassembled and reassembled a total of 109 times.

If Li Dabao had died, he wouldn't have suffered so much.

However, the lowest level of strength among Polpi's group was level nine.

With the backing of a benevolent family, it's far too easy for them to keep a [Lv9] ant in a near-death state indefinitely...

This is the plan Ankai prepared to discourage players like Li Dabao from playing.

We should properly help Li Dabao quit his internet addiction.

He wanted to make Li Dabao feel a splitting headache, trembling body, and fear of the game whenever he thought of it!

Ankai also believed that he was receiving special care.

Li Dabao will definitely give a factual account of his gaming experience...

After taking a few glances, I feel that Polpi did a pretty good job.

With a slight nod, Ankai returned to the mage tower.

The aura of authority that had previously belonged exclusively to him was now slightly emanating.

The lord's dormant, secluded state has reappeared...

Today is the day of reckoning for the House of Goodness and those ten lords!

At the same time, it was also the day that Li Dabao, a player, witnessed the slaughter of living beings by their "Good Family"!

An Kai not only wanted to physically dissuade Li Dabao from playing the game, but also to mentally destroy his mind!

...

When Li Dabao opened his eyes again.

The pain disappeared.

He looked around numbly...

But then we discovered…

I am in the air!

I rubbed my eyes...

Li Dabao confirmed that he was indeed in the air.

He now has two choices.

One option is to quit the game and complain about the inhumane experiences encountered within it.

Secondly, remain silent and observe what these guys are going to do!

The experience of the night made player Li Dabao realize a fact.

The NPCs in this game have an extremely high degree of freedom!

This was the first time he had ever seen anything like it in his life!

Every action the NPC takes is based on their own thoughts.

They seemed like a group of real people.

Li Dabao believed in "AI intelligence".

Only one point.

That's because the damn game developers made those damn newbie village NPCs' personalities way too nasty!

If it weren't for his extensive gaming experience and his professional ethics as a reviewer, he probably would have been discouraged when those damned newbie NPCs started making their move!

The ordeal was finally coming to an end.

Li Dabao was unwilling to accept being carried into the air and forced to retreat in such a disheveled manner...

He gritted his teeth, his eyes hardening.

He wanted to see what other trouble these damn NPCs could cause!

After all, he had endured inhumane torture!

Brian William, as the leader, kept a close eye on Li Dabao's condition.

When he noticed the determination in Li Dabao's eyes, he remembered An Kai's instructions to him...

"If he doesn't disappear within three seconds of regaining consciousness, add more ingredients to his diet."

Although Brian William did not know how Li Dabao disappeared, he kept An Kai's instructions firmly in mind.

In the impending carnage, Brian Williams will add something extra to Li Dabao's scheme...

The team moved very quickly.

A moment later, we arrived at our destination.

The Good Family's purpose in this operation is to reclaim a portion of the Ten Thousand Mountains territory and to retaliate against a lord's forces.

The previously kind family was unable to exterminate the entire clan due to limitations in their strength.

This time, 500 out of 629 Earth-level experts were mobilized!

It was all for the purpose of annihilating the entire clan!

At the same time, it is also to let player Li Dabao face the horror of war directly!

This isn't some other game that beautifies or covers up the gore in these war scenes...

...

Stone Giants.

Average height: 5 meters.

Its entire body was covered in bluish-white stones!

It is a direct race of a lord in the [Abyss of Wealth].

They are also a puppet race supported by the Great Lord of the Immortal Race.

Three individuals possess the [Earth] Realm!

They also have a Lord of the Abyss of Wealth as their clan leader.

The Stone Giants had previously contributed significantly to the attack on the Good House.

They are also the most arrogant race.

It is closest to the House of Goodness.

The number of innocent lives slaughtered by his hands is in the six figures.

They even made the Ten Thousand Mountains their base.

The number of ethnic groups stationed there exceeds ten million.

It is mainly based on the seventh order, with the eighth and ninth orders as the core.

This also represents two-thirds of the Stone Giant race's power!

today…

The once arrogant Stone Giants were finally purged by the Good Family!

The three leading Earth Stone Giants were dismembered by a group of fanatical followers of the Mage Guild led by Brian William!

Broken stones and blood were scattered all over the ground.

As the audience member chosen by Ankai, player "Li Dabao" was forced to face these scenes with his head held down.

Blood and stones flew everywhere!

Li Dabao was dyed the color of the stone giant's blood.

Li Dabao was like a fledgling chicken, controlled by the beings of the "Earth" realm of the Good Family.

It's not just about facing the tragic deaths of three [Earth] Boundary Stone Giants, but also about facing every aspect of the war.

Severed limbs!

Blood is flowing freely!

Shouts and fierce roars intertwined.

It was impacting Li Dabao's thoughts.

This war, which slaughtered millions of lives, was something Li Dabao had never witnessed in his life.

In books and games, a simple introduction—only when facing it all directly did Li Dabao realize just how shocking it was.

This moment.

His mindset has changed.

He believed in "AI intelligence".

The two sides involved more than ten million people, and every living being had their own thoughts.

Is this really something that "AI intelligence" can accomplish?

At this moment, for player Li Dabao, all of this felt like a real world happening!

It's no longer some piece of crap game!

The sounds of battle echoed throughout the land.

The Good Family, having annihilated the Stone Giants, extended their claws towards the Abyss of Wealth for the first time after Ankai's return!

night.

While cleaning up the battlefield.

Player Li Dabao took some time to log out of the game…

He compiled his experiences and posted them on his personal account…

[Preliminary Notes for the Divine Descent Game:]

1. Don't breathe too hard, it can kill you! Seriously!

2: The NPCs in the starting village are all a bunch of lunatics, especially the seemingly kind village chief, Polpi!

3: ...

...

10: 100% simulation, AI intelligence is real. Have you ever personally witnessed a war that wiped out millions of lives?

I've seen it!

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, limbs and torsos were severed!

This…

Isn't this the game I've been chasing after?!

I hate those restrictions, those cover-ups, those glossed-over details of the war!

Ladies and gentlemen, I swear on my lifelong reputation as Li Dabao that this game is incomparable to any game you have ever seen, heard of, or played!

Alright, that's all for now. I need to hurry back. I've set a small goal: to become a full-fledged resident of the Good House before the official server launches!

Expanding our territory and sealing our victory at the Wolf's Den—it begins today!

...

Good House, Inner City, Inside the Mage Tower.

Ankai was not surprised by the course of the war with the Stone Giant.

It was nothing but a one-sided massacre.

The only thing I was really interested in was Brian William's report about the disappearance of player Li Dabao.

In his opinion, under the dual impact of physical and mental stress, Li Dabao would be persuaded to give up, even if he didn't go crazy.

How could An Kai know that Li Dabao, having been misled by those low-quality "simulation" games for so long, was now seeing "God's Descent" as if he were a fanatic seeing his deity...

Just as Ankai was about to celebrate with a refreshing fruit drink, Brian William suddenly sent back a message through the [Contract]...

"M-Sir...that brat has appeared again!"

"He even asked me how I became a registered resident of the Good House..."

An Kai suddenly stood up.

Their brows furrowed together.

"This guy is actually a masochist?"
