This is not an MMO game copy

The Raging Tide class is no longer comparable to conventional weapons, as it possesses the destructive power to confront a single entity, destroy an army, or threaten a city. Without a sufficiently powerful Resonator - the name given to people with supernatural powers who have awakened to different supernatural powers in this world - to directly restrain or defeat it, it is nothing more than a living, mobile disaster.

As for the tsunami-level combat power...

If we say that even if the lowest light wave level is not a resonator in the world view, ordinary people can kill it with American Iai. The most question is how many bullets will be wasted and whether the firepower is sufficient.

The Giant Wave class can be eliminated by relying on sufficient firepower or a single Resonator.

The Raging Tide-class Afterimage can rely on an army composed of ordinary people, carrying weapons with sufficient firepower, to assist multiple Resonators, or a single Resonator who is strong enough on his own, to repel or kill them at the cost of great sacrifice.

However, there are very few people who resonate with this kind of person and have strong enough strength.

And when facing a tsunami level.

Even if a Resonator is strong enough to defeat a Raging Tide-class Remnant Elephant alone, and has the strength to rival a fully armed army, he will be defeated in a one-on-one situation. Even if he mobilizes an army composed of a large number of Resonators and adds a modern army composed of many ordinary people who are fully armed to assist, his chances of winning are very slim.

Because that is a disaster that is infinitely close to the destruction of the country.

Xia Yan could only confirm that if he could currently bring out some of the skills he gained through the "initiation", he would definitely be considered a resonator in this worldview. If he had a suitable weapon, he might be able to defeat some giant wave-level afterimages.

But it is unlikely that the upper Tide class will win against a single entity, destroy an army, or threaten a city.

What's more, it's a tsunami-level monster - even based on the current situation, he will definitely not be facing the real one, and it is very likely to be a "fake". It is impossible for him to possess the power of the Roaring Level that is infinitely close to destroying a country, but it is definitely possible for him to have the combat power of the Raging Wave Level.

"So, I need to verify the difference in combat effectiveness between the threat levels of the residual images. I also need enough time to adapt to and master the Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao cultivation gained through 'Initiation'. I also need to learn and get used to how to fight, and master the Qingyun Sect's immortal sword techniques and magic that I've converted from game skills..."

Walking forward along the plank road, after comparing it with the map of Chengxiao Mountain in his memory, Xia Yan guessed that he should be currently in the upper left corner of the game map. The terrain of Chengxiao Mountain is only in this position, with a cliff plank road next to the cliff.

This section of the plank road in the game is actually not very long, but Xia Yan did not expect that after converting it to a real world, this section of the cliff plank road from beginning to end in the game would only take about half a minute to run, but now a part of it actually took him more than half an hour to walk.

It even made him wonder if he had gone in the wrong direction or had misremembered the Chengxiao Mountain map in the game, and he began to wonder whether he should use Qinggong instead of hiking on the cliff path in the cold wind in order to conserve his physical strength and avoid excessive consumption of Tai Chi energy.

Fortunately, just when Xia Yan's limited patience was about to be exhausted.

The plank road finally reached its end, and the end of the wooden bridge was connected to a mountain road on the edge of the cliff, which appeared in front of Xia Yan.

Then he stepped out of the plank road and climbed the steep slope of the mountain road. From a distance, under the snow-covered trees on the side of the mountain road, he saw a fawn jump into the bushes and disappear.

This scene, which seemed to be similar to a game scene, made Xia Yan take a deep breath of the bone-chilling air of Chengxiao Mountain. While feeling the chill that surged into his body being dissipated by the circulating Tai Chi Qi, he stepped forward and used his Qinggong to leap onto the tree. After peeling off the snow on the treetop, he followed the same method and broke off a sufficiently thick and relatively straight branch.

Then, Xia Yan jumped up holding the branch, staring at the valley where the mountain road led to. After making mental preparations, he started walking over.

Not long after walking, he found a flower bud similar to a snow lotus on a snow hill by the roadside.

Xia Yan's expression turned serious.

Then, he clenched the branch in his hand, just like he had done in the open space on the outskirts of the city before being thrown into this hellhole, and allowed the "air roots" derived from the Tai Chi energy to penetrate into the branch and "connect" with his body, stimulating the vitality within the branch.

Then, Xia Yan walked towards the snow mound.

One step, two steps, three steps... Just when he took the twenty-sixth step, the flower bud sitting alone on the snow mound suddenly jumped up and turned into a giant white worm standing upright on the snow mound.

The snow lotus-like bud was actually just the head and mouthparts of a worm. After discarding its camouflage, a two-meter-long white giant worm stood upright, with its mouthparts open like petals, and visible red flames gathered in the center.

The next second, a bright, scorching fireball shot out from the worm's mouthparts, drew a parabola in the air, and smashed towards Xia Yan.

Xia Yan dodged to the side, no longer resisting the instinct that had been instilled into him by the "Initiation". He used his Qinggong skills to leap several meters away to avoid the falling fireball.

Then a wave of fire exploded where he was.

The overwhelming heat wave made Xia Yan's face reveal a slight fear, but he suppressed it in an instant with the method of [Sword Heart Enlightenment].

"The Light Wave-class Afterimage Firefly, which in the game is just a normal attack that spits out projectiles of fireballs, has a kill radius almost as large as a grenade in the real Mingchao world. And the power of the fireballs..."

Xia Yan took a quick glance at the location where the fireball exploded, and saw that the snow on the ground was also evaporated, and a mist rose up. The ground exposed by the melted snow was charred black and fiery red.

“…It’s actually lava!?”

In the game, the text describes the insignificant wild monster, the Firefly, as a mimic insect remnant that lives under the permafrost near low heat sources. It can absorb geothermal heat and rely on special organs to produce magma, which is the molten fluid formed in the upper mantle, i.e. magma, to melt the permafrost and build caves.

However, when the randomly fabricated settings in the game text appear in a real world, they become a living biological grenade launcher that can spit out 700-1200 degree magma fireballs... Is this a basic combat unit of the Tyranids or Zerg?

Being hit by this magma fireball, whether it was just a collision or a contact, was enough to make Xia Yan, who was currently unable to make much use of the cultivation gained from the "initiation", suffer the consequences on the spot.

"Groove's Mingshi, Groove's second-game setting, what the hell monster writer came up with a lowly wild monster that can spit lava!!!!"

While cursing the game designer, Xia Yan dodged the second magma fireball spewed by the firefly. In the heat wave caused by the second fireball's explosion, he raised the branch in his hand, concentrated and held his breath, with a blank look in his eyes, and followed his instinct to immerse himself in the art of sword-wielding.

【Guanhong】

Then, he took a step forward and his figure disappeared, leaving only a flash of green rainbow light, which instantly crossed several feet and pointed directly at the three-mouthed mouthparts on the firefly's head that opened like a blooming flower bud.

step.

Guanhong.

(PS: Just a quick aside - I'm not sure which world the first dungeon is from. It doesn't really matter, because the first dungeon is used to lay the foundation for the protagonist and change his mentality to no longer be an ordinary person, just like the countdown to The Witcher 3 for Xia Lin... Therefore, the first dungeon will not follow the original plot at all. The protagonist really treats it as an MMO dungeon, and the action goal is to find a way to "save himself".

As for the source of the protagonist's abilities, there's no need to worry about it ╮(╯▽╰)╭. Anyway, the future will definitely combine the strengths of various schools, and to put it bluntly, it will definitely become a hodgepodge.)

First instance: 4. First Blood

In the MMO game that Xia Yan played before traveling through time, [Guanhong] was the core skill of Jian Qingyun, a branch of the Qingyun Sect's character gameplay, and was generally referred to as the Guanhong style by players.

As the core of the Guanhong flow, [Guanhong] has the power of damage + displacement + immediate interruption of the currently used skill, and can also reset the CD by using skills belonging to the same sword-controlling system.

Therefore, Jian Qingyun will perform very handsomely whether in pvp or pve... In short, happy (*^▽^*).

But after traveling through time, the system's 'game interface' had transformed it into the genuine [Guanhong], a sword technique for cultivating immortality, and naturally, it no longer had a cooling time and refresh mechanism.

Even the lethality of [Guanhong], the distance of instant displacement, and the speed of attack are beyond the limitations of game values ​​and mechanisms, and are linked to the ability of the user Xia Yan.

Obviously, without being able to fully master the skills gained from the 'initiation', Xia Yan could not truly unleash the power of this sword technique.

Even if he just relied on the instincts engraved in the system to imitate, and held an ordinary branch, when the sword light of Yibu Guanhong burst out, Xia Yan could still feel the sharpness of this sword technique.

Just like the open space on the outskirts of the city before, where the sword light of Yibu Guanhong passed by, even though it was unable to condense the sword energy and it overflowed outward, it also plowed a shallow ditch on the ground.

The sharpest point of [Guanhong] has always been at the tip of the sword, at the very front where the sword is heading.

Even a branch can be turned into an indestructible sword as long as it is controlled by [Pianhong].

Under the guidance of the sword technique, Xia Yan felt that his mind was highly concentrated, just like before, and everything around him became slow.

The Tai Chi energy activated the vitality within the branch, and with the help of this "Qi" as tiny as a firefly, it was reflected in reality and transformed into a rainbow light that wrapped around the sword body (branch), and then in turn pulled Xia Yan, and merged into the airflow surrounding his body when he performed light skills, and merged into the rainbow light.

Then, the rainbow light crossed a distance of several feet, and as it was exhausted, it sent the sharpest "sword tip" into the three-deflected mouthparts on the firefly's head, which opened like a blooming flower bud.

That was the part where magma was spewing out. When the "tip of the sword" pierced into it, the fiery red light had already gathered in the center of the mouthparts.

Then, the tip of the sword penetrated directly into the most dangerous and vulnerable part of Xia Yan's firefly.

After stabbing the "tip of the sword" into the mouthparts of the firefly, Xia Yan let go without thinking. When the sword light of Guanhong disappeared and no longer pulled him forward, he used his lightness skills to escape away from the firefly.

next second.

The two-meter-long white giant worm made a shrill sound, and it was not known whether it was screaming, and its thick body began to twitch.

then.

Boom.

The firefly's head exploded from the inside out like a firework, throwing out large amounts of flames and magma.

At this time, Xia Yan, who had retreated ten meters away, felt the heat and impact of the firefly explosion blowing on his face, and he also showed a look of fear.

Although at first glance it seemed that he had ended his first battle perfectly, at this moment only he himself knew how lucky and scared he was in his heart.

When Xia Yan saw the magma released by the death of the fireflies and spread over an area with a radius of several meters, he suddenly felt his calves go weak.

"It actually exploded..."

The Molten Flies in the game are basically not a threat, and even in the light wave level afterimage, they are not a powerful monster.

Since the residual image is set to be a life-like organism composed of residual chaotic frequency energy, it will disappear on the spot when killed by the character controlled by the player. But just before taking action, Xia Yan suddenly remembered that there were some corpses of residual elephants in certain map scenes of the game.

Therefore, out of concern for the differences between the game settings and the real world, he made up his mind to never be greedy and to let go immediately and run as far as possible if he was hit.

As expected, the Molten Fly is a small fry in the game, with low combat power and danger level even among the lowest-level light wave afterimages. It is not only a living biological grenade launcher, but also turns into a living bomb on the spot when it dies. This death self-destruct skill does not exist in the game at all.

If he hadn't noticed that the firefly's text setting was that it could absorb geothermal heat and create magma in its body, and had been more careful in advance, he might have been cooked by now.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan's heart sank again, and a strong sense of despair and powerlessness weighed heavily on him.

Even small creatures like Molten Flies in the light wave afterimage category can pose a fatal threat to him.

Then, as the tsunami-level protagonist of the weekly boss [Battle Song Reprise: Fated Conflict]...

Even the slightly stronger ones among the light-wave-level afterimages, such as the humanoid afterimages of hunters and warriors that often appear in game CGs, or the [Azizi] whose mechanisms are completely different from those of ordinary soldiers, who can use time stop, the [Pass Light Doll] that can forcibly imprison others, and the four types of prisms that are the same as automatic turrets... pose a much greater threat to him than the Molten Fly that is standing still.

As for the humanoid elephants mentioned above, they are just the lowest-level soldiers in the army of elephants attacking humans. When facing a strong enough resonator like the Emperor Konshu who had his account wiped out, they are killed instantly with a single sword strike in the plot. Their treatment is the same as that of the soldiers in Dynasty Warriors.

Such a comparison.

"...Now I'm just a soldier in Dynasty Warriors at best!?"

Xia Yan was a little nervous.

But if you think about it carefully, it is very reasonable. If the system after crossing over had not 'initiated' him with the cultivation level that the game character should have according to the setting of the original work, and he had not transformed the game skills into real cultivation techniques and sword techniques, which were engraved into his body, and he could barely exert a small part of his power, the Molten Fern would be invincible to him.

Fortunately, despair and powerlessness will only become the last straw that breaks the camel's back when there is no hope, and Xia Yan is not completely without hope at the moment.

So, after briefly experiencing the feeling of despair and powerlessness, Xia Yan forced himself to cheer up again, eased the tension, fear and panic of the first battle, and looked up at the front that was ignited by lava.

The good news is that due to the difference in terrain between the game and reality, the 'self-explosion' of the firefly when it died did not block the mountain path ahead.

The bad news is that the afterimages of the Molten Fireflies are everywhere in Chengxiao Mountain, and Xia Yan cannot be sure how many of these living, self-destructing grenade launchers are out there.

then.

A golden shadow came into Xia Yan's sight.

In the area where the lava was ignited, a translucent golden shadow with the outline of a 'firefly' appeared at the position of the firefly just now.

"Sound bones."

After the residual image in the Mingchao is defeated, there is a chance that a golden phantom called "resonance" will be left behind. The resonator can absorb and store it through the Pangu terminal and convert it into a sound corpse. When necessary, the sound corpse can be restored to the original residual image in a short time and summoned to fight or assist.

However, except for the Emperor Jinzhou himself, normal resonators who want to absorb, store and use sound corpses basically need to rely on a technological device called the [Pangu Terminal].

Theoretically, the equipment (Sound Corpse) that exploded from the firefly was of no use to him, but Xia Yan did not move away. Instead, he waited patiently for the lava that was spilled from the firefly's death and explosion to cool down and turn black under the ice and snow. After making mental preparations, he used his Qinggong to leap to the area that was not splashed by the lava, and after a few jumps, he arrived at the edge of the golden shadow.

Then, looking at the molten firefly's corpse in front of him, Xia Yan reached out his hand...

…Just as his fingertips were about to touch the phantom, a small box suddenly popped up on the 'game interface' that only he could see.

【Fireworm】

First instance: 5. Sound Remains = Magical Weapon

In the MMO game that Xia Yan played before he traveled through time, when going into a dungeon, it was the same as in countless traditional MMOs. In addition to the boss, some monsters in the dungeon might also drop equipment or some pickups.

Regardless of whether it is dropped equipment or other pick-up items, a row of small boxes with text will be displayed on the player's screen to prompt the player to press the interaction key to pick it up.

Just like this.

Xia Yan was not surprised that the afterimage of the firefly, which was also a miscellaneous soldier in the light wave level, could drop the sound remains of the firefly after killing it.

In the second game Mingchao, the probability of Shenghai dropping is not low. Players will always get some by hoeing the ground or killing wild monsters while passing by.

At the same time, Xia Yan did not forget his current situation. He was teleported to this world by the copy matching function of his system, which had deep roots in that MMO game, which had gone out of control for some reason.

In other words, in the judgment of the 'game interface' system, this world should be considered a 'copy'.

So, it is normal to get drops when playing dungeons.

The problem is that Xia Yan has not forgotten that he was forced to leave the dungeon by the out-of-control dungeon matching function interface because he was unable to interact with the system's game interface. How can he "pick up" the dropped item when he can't interact with the game interface?

If you are still in an MMO game, you must press the interact button next to the dropped item to pick up the dropped item.

In the game plot setting of Mingchao, in addition to the protagonist who is replaced by the player, Solaris's resonators need to use a technological device called [Pangu Terminal] to absorb the reverberations left after the afterimage is defeated, so that they can be transformed into sound corpses that can reproduce the ability of the afterimage.

But the system in him that comes from the MMO game may not necessarily follow the game operation settings.

So, after hesitating for a moment, Xia Yan continued to stretch out his hand towards the golden shadow in front of him and tried to make a grasping gesture.

then.

"Ok!"

Amidst Xia Yan's surprised and delighted expression, a brand new box appeared on the 'game interface' in front of him.

Or a page that is larger than the frame of the copy matching function.

Moreover, Xia Yan immediately noticed the two large characters marked in the upper left corner of this new framed page -
