Dodging the attacks from the Succubus, Wraith, and Specter, Yan Yan was surprised to glance back at him. Was he really already forty-four? Moreover, she quickly scanned the Seven Star Emblem around his collar. During her time in seclusion to upgrade her forging skills, her level had fallen too far behind...
However, it didn't matter—
Her gaze sharpened as she focused on the three elite bosses ahead. At that moment, the Succubus, Wraith, and Specter were no different from mere experience points in her eyes.
Half an hour later, just as the three low-health bosses were about to be taken down, a roar echoed from deep within Ghost City.
"Nameless Soldier, dare to invade my city!"
As the roar grew closer, a jolt of anxiety shot through Yan Yan. This was bad; the Assassin had failed to take down the Ghost King!
Just as a Phantom was about to pounce on her, a party invitation appeared before her.
System: Player Qin Huai invites Player Remains Silent to join the team. Do you accept?
"Yes."
In that instant, she swiftly nocked an arrow and shouted to the Black-Clad Thief collecting skeleton bones ten yards away, "Rascal, I'll hold off the Ghost King; you go find the Assassin!"
The only one capable of taking down the Ghost King here was also a level sixty Assassin. Although she was only thirty-five, her attribute points were twice that of a regular player. While she might not be able to defeat the Ghost King outright, she could at least stall for time. Qin Huai had already reached the strength of a Seven Star Warrior, but at level forty-four, he wasn't as reliable as her thirty-five level. The only thing she could do now was find the Assassin as quickly as possible.
"Ding—"
The sharp sound of metal clashing rang out.
"Heh heh... I thought some bold Nameless Soldier was disturbing my slumber. I didn't expect it to be a Son of the God under the God of Light!"
The Ghost King's chilling gaze swept over Yan Yan's Divine Punishment Mark on her forehead, his eerie voice laced with murderous intent.
As his ghostly claws reached out, an intense sense of danger surged through Yan Yan's heart. Damn! The boss's ultimate move... its range would definitely encompass all nearby beings!
What on earth was he doing...
She had no time to pay attention to Qin Huai, who was still squatting in front of a pile of white bones, seemingly lost in thought. Instinctively, she unleashed her full power.
Aerial Blast!
Ghostly Strangulation!
“Boom—”
The clash of the powerful attacks immediately stirred up a whirlwind of yellow sand, obscuring all visibility. The rolling ghostly energy that erupted in the air, combined with the power of God of Light, avoided harming the three low-health monsters on the ground and Qin Huai.
At the moment the arrows were released, a fierce gust sent Yan Yan flying backward, as sparks of flame scattered like a brilliant galaxy.
Now's the time!
As she landed, Emberless quickly raised up, Fury Shot!
The killing intent was locked onto the three low-health Elite Bosses!
Meanwhile, on the other side, the ancient parchment in Qin Huai's hand transformed into starlight and vanished into the air. Following that was a strange tremor from the ground...
“Crack—”
A bizarre sound of bone joints connecting echoed, followed by an incessant series of cracking noises!
What was happening?!
Yan Yan had no time to finish off the remaining health of the three Elite Bosses. Instinctively, she rushed to Qin Huai's side, her eyes widening at the scene before her.
This...
The eerie white bones left behind by the defeated Ghost Soldiers were rapidly piecing themselves together. In just a few seconds, as the yellow sand settled and visibility returned, a cool-looking motorcycle made entirely of bones appeared before them.
"What is this?"
Yan Yan pointed at the bone motorcycle shrouded in a menacing aura, her eyes flashing with astonishment.
"The spoils of the Dungeon."
"Dwarven stuff... no wonder..."
"Heart!"
Qin Huai, the Beauty, suddenly became serious. As he coldly shouted, he pushed aside the girl next to him. His left hand, wielding a golden short sword, met the ghost king's claw.
Creak—
The piercing sound made him furrow his brow. The immense force transmitted through his hand caused him to stagger back several paces. The ghost king suddenly halted, tilting its head to stare at the golden short sword in his hand for a moment before breaking into a strange smile. "Heh heh, so it's the Sword of Izerith. Child, so you are one of Izeriz's people. Heh heh... interesting, interesting! A child of the God of Light and a Dark Son... heh heh heh... the cycle of Reincarnation has finally begun again after a thousand years, heh heh heh!"
The ghost king's sudden pause gave Yan Yan an opportunity to take down three elite monsters with low health.
Explosive Arrow!
Rain of Arrows!
Within the circle, beneath the Arrow Rain, there was no life left. The crimson flames ignited by the Explosive Arrow consumed everything.
Ding!
System: Congratulations Player Remains Silent on reaching Level 6.
System: Congratulations Player Remains Silent on reaching Level 7.
System: Congratulations Player Remains Silent on reaching Level 8.
……
System: Congratulations to Player Remains Silent for leveling up to Level 5.
After a continuous climb of fifteen levels, it finally came to a halt. The massive Experience from the level fifty-five Elite Boss allowed Qin Huai, who had just reached level four, to gain another eight levels thanks to the advantage of teaming up. Level 5 has already far surpassed Old Steed in the Stable's level twelve at forty!
Not only that, players watching the Level Leaderboard witnessed the leveling fanatic Old Steed in the Stable drop from first place to second, and then to third in just half an hour—a shocking turn of events.
Oh my goodness! Zero Point Level has a bug…
Incredible! What kind of god can fill up their Experience Bar by over ten levels in half an hour? Are we sure this isn't a System bug?
……
It wasn't just the World Channel; even the Forum exploded with activity…
Zero Point Official, where are you?!
Discussing the possibility of contracting Zero Point
Riding a rocket to level up is outdated; riding light to level up is the true path
……
As all the onlookers waited in confusion for an explanation from the Official, several consecutive System announcements dropped another bombshell on the Zero Point players.
System Announcement: Congratulations to players Ji Bai and Jiang Linchuan for completing the hidden map "Kunlun Snow Mountain." The map "Kunlun Snow Mountain" is now open.
System Announcement: Congratulations to player Ji Bai for obtaining the Inheritance of "Freesia Goddess" from the Priest Hall.
System Announcement: Congratulations to player Jiang Linchuan for obtaining the mount "Extreme Ice Snow Ape."
System Announcement: The Zero Point System is undergoing emergency maintenance. All players must log off within ten minutes. For online announcements, please check the Official Website for updates.
……
What the hell is going on!
Quick, look at the Level Leaderboard!
The third and fourth places have changed to Ji Bai and Jiang Linchuan!
While everyone was still focused on the Level Leaderboard, the player Old Steed in the Stable, who had garnered sympathy from countless players, quietly made a significant move.
System Announcement: Congratulations to player Old Steed in the Stable for initiating the “Millennium War” storyline. The game data card “Battle of the Five Armies” has been unlocked. The game will forcibly close in eight minutes, so all players must log off on time.
As chaos erupted in the game, the technical department of Shanda Corporation was equally in disarray.
“Director Cai, what are we going to do about this?”
“Boss, the game is progressing too quickly; we can't control it!”
“No matter what methods you use, you must stabilize the Zero Point System—” As Boss Sheng thought of the true power behind the company and the secrets hidden beneath Zero Point Game, he felt a chill run down his spine. His face turned pale as he urgently urged, “Hurry! Go get Huo Yuwei!—”
