Master Changsheng

Chapter 90 089: Life is Priceless

An Kai initially thought the system had malfunctioned or malfunctioned due to the sudden system notification.

He only understood the source of these attribute points when he clicked on a system notification.

[Will Buklin, the Wanderer, has received an upgrade in strength and gained 1 attribute point]...

System prompts appeared one after another.

After half a minute, the system notification finally ended.

[Attribute Points +43]

"Has Will integrated into the town of the dead too?"

An Kai muttered to himself, his mood hard to describe.

It just seems that the only white in the desert has disappeared...

However, he also knew that with his inferior strength and being controlled by that old man Donglin, it would be difficult for Will-Bucklin not to integrate.

With a slight sigh, he added the 43 attribute points he had gained to his four attributes.

Intelligence: 426 (416+10)

Endurance: 426 (415 + 11)

[Stamina: 426 (415+11)]

Strength: 426 (415+11)

On his right palm, the seven-colored heart that represented the "Guide to the Wanderers" shimmered, and a striking gray-brown color appeared abruptly.

It flickered for a moment.

The seven-colored heart was split in two, one half grayish-brown, the other half retaining its original seven colors…

Seeing this, An Kai was taken aback: "So, he's integrated, but not completely integrated?"

...

The Kingdom of Shak.

A small border town bordering the desert.

The city originally had a population of over 10.

At this moment, the small town was completely silent.

Only the occasional chirping sounds of scattered skeletons moving about could be heard.

In the heart of this city stands a ten-tiered altar covered in blood and bones.

Above the altar was Will Bucklin, his body exposed.

On the altar, with his nose as the center line, he was half a skeleton and half a human body shimmering with seven colors…

Will Bucklin, his eyes closed, knew everything that was happening, but he was powerless to resist.

Because he cannot control his body.

The scene he had just experienced caused Will Bucklin to have a mental breakdown.

The lives of over 100,000 people were exchanged for his advancement to the fifth rank.

This goes against Will Bucklin's long-held principles.

At this moment, Will Bucklin was numb; he didn't know how to atone for his sins…

Even sacrificing one's own life is so insignificant compared to the lives of everyone in this city.

"Don't you pride yourself on being a good person?"

"Now an entire city has died because of you, what will you do?!"

A hundred meters away from the altar, Donglin, draped in a black robe and holding a skull staff, sneered as he looked at Will Bucklin on the altar.

Behind him was Sally Bucklin, who was banned but tried to stop him…

Sally Buklin stared at Will Buklin's body on the altar, her eyes already dry of tears, her mouth opening and closing, emitting hoarse roars.

However, her body was firmly imprisoned in place, unable to move.

Within the territory of the Town of the Dead, Donglin... is invincible!

"Will, all living beings suffer!"

Suddenly, Donglin, as if a compassionate saint, changed his tone and uttered this abrupt statement.

And it was after he spoke that skeletons began to crawl out of the ground one after another in the city…

"Look! I have helped them escape suffering, I have granted them eternal life, so that they need not grieve over the end of their lives!"

"Will, we're here to redeem them, to redeem these poor people living in misery!"

"War, disease, hatred, suffering—from now on, these things will be irrelevant to them. They can obtain eternal life and a body that will never fall ill!"

"Will, do you think I did the right thing?"

Donglin raised his staff high, and even though his eyes were hidden under his black robe, a glimmer of light could be seen in them.

His voice grew louder and louder, and the skeletons that appeared in the city became increasingly agitated.

The red light within the skull leaped rapidly after Donglin spoke, as if responding to his words.

Even Sally Buklin, who was trapped in place, looked confused and murmured, "Are we really saving them?"

At this moment, an inexplicable wave emanated from Donglin, sweeping across the entire city.

On the altar, Will-Bucklin remained silent for a long time. In his confusion, a domineering figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was his mentor—An Kai!

Ankai's image stood in Will's mind, as if speaking to him with disdain:

Life? It is both the most valuable and the least valuable thing.

I can decide your life, but you cannot decide mine, because my life is priceless!

Standing on the altar, Ankai's nonchalant words suddenly echoed in Will's mind.

After his automatic filtering, only one sentence remained from An Kai's words: "Life is priceless."

It started as a faint thought in Will's mind, and in the blink of an eye, the phrase occupied his entire mind.

The confusion in his eyes dissipated.

Will looked down at Donglin, his tone firm and his expression calm: "You're wrong."

These three simple words interrupted Donglin's daydreaming about his dream.

Donglin paused for a moment, remained silent for two seconds, and then lightly waved his staff...

A skeleton fist, as tall as a person, suddenly appeared in front of Will.

Before Will could react, the skeletal fist slammed down!

Will Bucklin was instantly smashed, coughing up blood, and fell off the altar…

"I don't like what you're saying, kid."

"Don't say that again."

As Donglin finished speaking, his figure slowly disappeared from the ground.

Along with him, the city was filled with skeletal figures.

When all the skeletons in the city had disappeared, leaving only Will Bucklin and Sally Bucklin, two skeletal hands, each as tall as two people, suddenly appeared.

He grabbed the two figures and dragged them towards the ground.

The two figures vanished instantly, along with a sigh from an aged voice: "This world is truly filthy!"

...

The next day.

Ankai did not meditate all night.

He was waiting, waiting for today's side quests to refresh.

Given Will Bucklin's continuous improvement in strength, coupled with his previous joining the Town of the Dead, Ankai speculates that he will appear in a side story.

Of course, An Kai didn't stay idle that night either.

The [Beast Meat Refining Table], [Staff of Meditation], [Mask of the Imposter], and 11 spare storage rings were all upgraded to [+5] by Ankai…

After the enhancement, the effect was quite good.

Ankai was quite satisfied with the enhanced effects of the Meditation Staff, especially.

Because of the enhanced Meditation Staff, Ankai can once again use it to reduce the time it takes to gain attribute points through Meditation.

Although it only reduces the time by 5 minutes, it's still an improvement...

While I was lost in thought, a side quest update came on…

Ankai quickly scrolled through the list and found the one he wanted.

[16: The Town of the Dead appeared in the Kingdom of Shak. Before the arrival of the two fifth-tier professionals of the Kingdom of Shak, it swept through a small border town and transformed into more than 10 skeletons.]

One of the beings, whose seven-colored body had merged with a skeletal form, received a significant boost after the transformation.

"That old bastard deserves to die!"

Seeing the information in the side quest, An Kai felt more and more that Dong Lin, that old bastard, was the biggest boss in the desert.

This old bastard slaughtered an entire city with a single move; he's even more inhuman than the desert people…

An Kai muttered to himself. After leaving the pass, he would avoid the town of the dead. He could tell that the old man had a perverse interest in turning people into skeletons.

but…

"It seems Will really hasn't been completely transformed?"

Inside the mage tower, Ankai muttered to himself, a smile playing on his lips, and began his training, gripping the [Staff of Meditation]...

"Let's set a small goal first: raise my attributes to 450 points!"
