Master Changsheng

Chapter 268, page 265: Three days later, the players arrive.

The sudden system notification made An Kai pause in surprise.

He put away the [Beast Taming] whip and returned to his room.

I immediately checked the system notification…

It has been some time since player Li Dabao left.

Ankai had been waiting for the system's notification.

He could then make appropriate arrangements based on the time when the players arrived.

Overall, player Li Dabao's first appearance provided Ankai with some experience in dealing with players...

He skillfully opened his personal panel.

Find the player arrival countdown...

"Um?"

"This time... seems a little different..."

……

……

Blue Star.

Player Li Dabao has been keeping an eye on the game "God's Descent" for information about the second closed beta test.

Anxiously waiting.

The countdown page has officially ended.

The magnificent scenes of "God's Descent" appeared.

A notification appeared in front of Li Dabao regarding the player's second arrival...

[Countdown: 71 hours, 59 minutes, and 58 seconds]

This is what players are seeing regarding the countdown to the second closed beta test of "God's Descent" (a game mode).

Unsurprisingly, Li Dabao's ID appeared prominently in the list of 10,000 people.

This time, players are no longer a fixed group.

Instead, it is selected randomly based on the in-game scene.

Compared to the other people's assignments to places like the Northern Continent of the Gods, the Second Layer of the Abyss, and the Realm of Demons and Insects, which Li Dabao had never heard of.

The place where he arrived was quite familiar.

A kind and virtuous family!

That's right, Li Dabao's destination this time was still the Good House.

Seeing this, Li Dabao smiled.

There were 99 other people with him.

What's this called?

This is called the chosen one!

Li Dabao, confirming that he hadn't misread anything, was filled with excitement.

I am very satisfied with the location of my arrival.

Returning to the "Good Family" is the best choice for Li Dabao!

Compared to others, he believed he had a significant advantage.

On paper alone, they already have a significant advantage over other players!

[Wayne's favorability rating: 59]!

This is the level of goodwill he achieved after a year of effort and by gathering the support of many players.

As the head steward of the "House of Goodness," Li Dabao already knew the importance of Wayne, an NPC, after a year of playing the game.

Being able to establish a good relationship with Wayne beforehand will elevate Li Dabao's in-game experience to another level.

The "Good Family" had long been regarded by Li Dabao as the territory of the early stage of the "Divine Descent" realm.

In Li Dabao's mind, An Kai, the city lord of the Good House, is also a future God of Magic.

For Li Dabao, being able to make contact with the future big boss in the game in advance is more beneficial than harmful.

It's not just about the gaming experience.

More importantly…

Li Dabao's physical fitness has truly improved since returning to Earth!

The rumors claimed that his body had become several times stronger.

In other words, Li Dabao didn't want to be high-profile; otherwise, he would have come forward long ago to testify and prove that the rumors were false.

Because his physical abilities were not just several times stronger, but dozens of times stronger!

This…

It's just because he spent a year playing games!

He was thinking…

One day!

If Li Dabao really becomes a god in the game, then in reality…

What will he do then?

The methods used by the sorcerers at the Good House still lingered in Li Dabao's mind.

The forbidden spells, which were often capable of destroying the world, filled Li Dabao with excitement.

Since his physical abilities can be enhanced, could he improve them by learning magic or spells?

Li Dabao was unaware.

He decided to take advantage of the second closed beta test to put it to the test.

If magic can be truly mastered, then "God's Descent" will be more than just a game...

While pondering the things in his mind, he haphazardly flipped through information about "The Descent of the Gods".

You can see requests to team up from time to time.

Players who landed at the same location huddled together for mutual support. With Li Dabao as a cautionary tale, they knew that the difficulty of "God's Descent" was arguably the most difficult game ever.

Therefore, joining a tour group is a good option.

After watching for a while, Li Dabao's mouth twitched slightly. In the game "God's Descent," forming a group or something similar was of no use.

but…

Returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night.

As the number one player in the game "God's Descent," Li Dabao should also play a role.

After some deliberation, Li Dabao, displaying the air of a mysterious master, posted a thread titled "I, Li Dabao, have arrived at the [House of Goodness]..."

In an instant, words of jealousy and congratulations appeared below Li Dabao's post.

Meanwhile, the other 99 players who arrived at the House of Goodness were like driftwood in a raging torrent.

They all expressed their desire to be mentored by Li Dabao.

At this moment, Li Dabao, inside the rented room, looked at the messages asking for help, his lips already curled into a wide smile.

But his reply was quite aloof…

When faced with players asking for help, Li Dabao simply replied, "Okay."

……

……

"Tens of thousands descending? In groups of one hundred, each descending to a different location?"

"My good family is on the list too?!"

"The time is..."

"Countdown: 941 years?!"

The year "941" is not some random number.

According to the timeline Ankai saw: 9841 years to go.

941 years later, it will be exactly 8900 years since the arrival of ten thousand years!

At the previous rate, the first player arrival will be in 100 years.

The second time was in 1000.

It is highly likely that the third time will be in 10000 years!

An Kai frowned. 941 years, it seems slow, but it also seems fast.

Although he has only lived for a little over a hundred years.

But he had seen those ancient monsters before.

There are even ancient monsters that are three to five thousand years old.

For example, the Elf Queen who ate a severed finger.

The Elf Queen still lives in the House of Goodness.

His strength is neither high nor low; he has just entered the [Sky] realm.

This is not because An Kai is biased or reluctant to kill.

Rather, it was the Elf Queen's power, earned through her own abilities.

Ankai will provide those ninth-tier beings with [Lord Cores] to help them advance to the [Earth] realm.

Once they reach the [Earth] realm, the [Lord Cores] they previously consumed will accrue interest based on the specific amount of resources.

At the same time, if you want to continue to rely on the [Lord Core] to improve your strength, you also need to use your own contributions to exchange for [Lord Core] at the [House of Goodness Spirit Pavilion].

The Elf Queen not only paid off the Lord Core consumed in advancing to the Earth Realm immediately, but even had some left over.

Furthermore, his strength has steadily increased, reaching the current [Sky] realm.

It is also the last realm that can be improved by relying on the [Lord Core].

Once you advance from the Sky Realm to the Legendary Realm, the Lord Core will lose its function.

The reason why the Elf Queen has been able to survive until now, and even increase her strength step by step, has little to do with her strength.

It mainly relies on her own "experience and knowledge".

It's not just a saying that old people can become strange.

The fact that the Elf Queen has survived from the [Divine Court] era to the present day is due to her experience and knowledge, which are more valuable than her own strength.

If the Elf Queen were to recount her life experiences, she probably wouldn't finish in ten days and ten nights.

Therefore, thanks to her outstanding experience, the Elf Queen successfully became a "researcher" in the House of Goodness.

You can obtain extraordinary resources without risking your life.

It was more than enough to support her own cultivation.

This often made the elf Arli feel sorry that the old, dead, dog-like Elf Queen was still alive.

However, Ankai will not fulfill Alli's wishes.

With Chris by his side, Ankai has not favored the elf Alli for almost a year.

All those former elven maids and witch maids were banished to the "harem"...

Nothing can compare to the lucky girl "Chris".

An Kai couldn't quite grasp the concept of luck.

But every time his luck stat is maxed out, it brings him genuine joy.

Unfortunately, there is only one "Chris".

It would be great if there were more.

He sat inside the main hall.

Ankai's mind was still preoccupied with the fact that the player had arrived 941 years later.

The representative of the Southern Continent's magical beasts, Cerberus, arrived outside the main hall under the guidance of Nurnexus.

With just one glance, Nurnexus spotted the long black whip beside Ankai.

A playful expression appeared on the face of a large, black rat.

Extend your paw and gently pat the Cerberus's toes...

Looking up at the nearly 100-meter-tall three-headed dog, he chuckled, "You're in luck!"

"Blessed?"

The three-headed dog was stunned, its three heads seemingly frozen in time, muttering softly.

Although he didn't understand why Nurnexus said that, based on Nurnexus's goodwill along the way and his kind smile at this moment...

Thinking about it...

This should be a good thing, right?

The three-headed dog muttered to itself, just as it was about to shrink its body, when it suddenly saw a dark shadow appear in front of it!

Snapped!

[Beast Taming] As the long whip fell, a phantom of a three-headed dog roaring to the sky burst forth from the body of the three-headed dog!

In a single roar, the black [Beast Taming] whip was shattered!

"I knew this would happen!"

An Kai suddenly appeared.

The failure of [Beast Taming] was not surprising at all.

Cerberus is a magical beast from the [Nirvana: Origin] realm!

His beast taming skill was only [Lv90], a ninth-tier, tenth-level spell!

There's a whole major tier difference between them: [Legendary].

However, An Kai remained calm.

He also has ways to deal with it.

[Beast Taming] Since it is impossible to automatically enslave the three-headed dog.

Then he can hammer the three-headed dog to near death, and at that point, the [Beast Taming] skill will be successful.

Anyway, this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.

With a thought, the giant armor of the [Elemental Ice Armor] appeared.

Before the three-headed dog could react, its fist had already swung down!

Faced with the immense power and resounding energy of Ankai, the three-headed dog understood…

He was scammed!

"This guy looks seriously injured?!"

The fist, carrying a fierce aura, struck, causing the three-headed dog to break out in a cold sweat.

The three heads looked as if facing a formidable enemy, but he didn't understand.

One second they're best friends, the next they're mortal enemies!

The stark contrast prompted the three-headed dog to roar, "Is this how your 'Good House' treats its guests?!"

When confronted with the three-headed dog's questioning, Ankai's response was simple.

That means you increased the force of your punch!

"Madman! Madman!"

"You beings of the Abyss are a bunch of lunatics!"

"kill!!"

The three-headed dog, with its three heads, angrily rebuked Ankai, who was about to charge.

It was just his anger.

In front of Ankai, it was tantamount to impotent rage...

boom!

One punch.

The right side of the three-headed dog's head is drooping.

Ankai controlled the [Elemental Ice Armor] giant, grabbed the middle head of the three-headed dog, and then bent his arm.

The fist slammed down!

boom!

Another punch landed, and the middle head of the three-headed dog foamed at the mouth, its eyelids rolled back.

He appears to have lost consciousness.

At this point, only the last head of the three-headed dog was conscious.

Because Ankai moved too quickly, the Cerberus's counterattack only took place at this moment.

however…

The three-headed dog's counterattack was somewhat inadequate against the humanoid monster Ankai!

[Elemental Ice Armor] The giant, his arms wrapped around the last head of the three-headed dog, bent his knees and suddenly lifted himself up...

boom!

The last head of the three-headed dog lost consciousness...

"So weak!"

At this moment, the real Ankai emerged from the main hall.

Holding the [Beast Taming] whip, he swung it down fiercely.

Snapped!

The three-headed dog, on the verge of death, emitted a phantom image from its body that resembled a lump of mud.

It was shattered in an instant by the [Beast Taming] whip.

The three-headed dog has a large black bar-like mark appearing on the forehead of each of its three heads...
