I Am The Only Top-up Player - Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Must Obtain the Radiant Holy Sword!

Somewhere in the boundless grassland of the Endless Continent, a charismatic man with a long red robe was leading his Golden Battle Lion as they hunted a herd of level five Wild Cows in the grasslands!

Compared to the other wild monsters on the grassland, the Wild Cows moved slower and reacted slower, making it easier to hunt.

In addition, the Wild Cows were large in size, allowing for the harvest of more food units and in larger quantities too.

They became very suitable prey for a Golden Battle Lion.

He had killed a total of nearly 20 level five Wild Cows and obtained a bountiful hunt, but he never once placed his food on the (Trading Channel].

As a result, no one knew his name or his title before that moment.

Furthermore, he would choose (No) whenever he was asked to upgrade his castle, for he and his Golden Battle Lion had always been wandering around the continent to hunt for prey.

He had not spent a single day in the castle ever since he had transmigrated.

Even if the darkness invasion was about to arrive, he could take the opportunity to occupy other people’s castles and hide. There, he could snatch the resources that the others had spent so much effort to level up, making it so much more convenient.

Once it was over, he would use the accumulated resources on hand to build his castle and upgrade it to the maximum in one go. For the moment at least, his castle did not serve him any purpose.

As a result, his castle was still at level one, but his energy stones and mutant crystals had accumulated to the point where he could upgrade it to level five.

However, no one knew about that.

Even his existence remained off the books.

At that moment, he glanced at the [World Announcement Update) and shifted his gaze from the screen to the Golden Battle Lions that were running around in the distance.

He then smiled faintly.

Su Hao? Han Yan? Qin Shuang?

He was just an ordinary man.

He was confident that the mystery prize obtained through resisting the invasion of darkness would be his.

Elsewhere in the endless darkness, a Holy Light Torch appeared out of nowhere!

The surrounding darkness turned instantly into light.

The person holding the torch was Qin Shuang.

Ever since her last conversation with Su Hao, she swore that she would be strong enough to force Su Hao into taking the initiative to make her an ally.

At that time, she would pretend to reject him and wear down Su Hao’s spirit! She was going to hold that grudge against him!

She had also read the (World Announcement Update], but she did not really care who won or lost.

All that mattered to her was to be an ally of someone on her level.

As a result, she had doubled her efforts during the past few days by strengthening her own power and training her White Unicorn to level five!

At the same time, she had also unexpectedly obtained a Sacred Light Stone, which she fused with fire to create the Holy Light Torch!

The moment the Holy Light Torch came to exist, her first thought was to enter the darkness.

One of the reasons was to understand more about the darkness.

Another reason was that she wanted to convey the information about the darkness to Su Hao, thus expressing her sincerity and showing that she had no bad intentions. After all, those with bad intentions would never pass on the information they knew to someone else.

In addition to expressing her sincerity, she could also let Su Hao know that she had ample strength and was a worthy ally.

With the Holy Light Torch in one hand, she sat on the back of her White Unicorn and walked into the darkness with about another five unicorns surrounded her

She, on the other hand, could dispel the darkness as long as she held the torch.

enco

In the darkness, her White Unicorns encountered many wild beasts that they had never seen on the plains.

were

Fortunately, even though the darkness was filled with wild beasts, the ones she saw were all lower-leveled beasts that were level three at most.

She did not encounter any strong monsters as a result, and after walking around, she also realized that the darkness was not barren.

One could even say that everything inside was the same as the outside, except it was covered in darkness and wild beasts.

There were also mountains, plains, and rivers.

She was able to understand all of that in such a short time, and she immediately opened her [Friend Messages] to send Su Hao some messages!

(You’re Su Hao, right? Do you still remember me?]

[I’m Qin Shuang. I just entered the darkness with my Holy Light Torch, and to express my sincerity in befriending you, I’ll report the situation inside to you in real time!]

[This place is shrouded in darkness, and any creature that comes out of it is a wild beast!)

[Everything inside here is the same as outside. There are also mountain ranges and rivers. There’s nothing out of the ordinary here.]

Back at the Holy Light Castle, Su Hao exited from the (World Announcement Update).

Then, he lowered his eyes.

Having been reborn, he knew what the mysterious reward for resisting the invasion of darkness was.

If he remembered correctly, the mystery reward would be a huge holy object of light.

There were many types of holy objects, and the first holy object reward would be the Radiant Holy Sword!

However, the Radiant Holy Sword was not a sword that could be used and was instead a huge sculpture of a holy sword!

Their function was to dispel evil spirits and even the malicious attacks of other lords.

As long as Su Hao did not allow it, the Radiant Holy Sword’s sculpture would prevent any evil spirit from appearing within a 10-kilometer radius of his territory.

Even an ordinary person would not encounter any danger in the surrounding ten kilometers!

As a result, he decided that he had to obtain that sacred object!

It meant that he had to get the highest score during the invasion of darkness!

In his previous life, Su Hao was ranked second during the first invasion, thus missing the reward completely!

It had always been his regret.

With his Sacred Night Bugs, he was hell-bent on winning the reward!

Then, he received a message!

[Message from a friend.)

Su Hao saw repeated new messages in the [Friend Messages) at the lower right corner of the panel.

(You have a message from a friend. Would you like to read it?]

[2 messages, 3 messages, 7 messages…]

When he saw that, Su Hao frowned slightly and opened his friend list.

As soon as he saw Qin Shuang’s message, he realized that he had added her as a friend.

He would have forgotten all about her if he did not see it.

Since he had already added her, there was no need to delete the messages and block her.

With that thought, he immediately set the message to ‘do not disturb’ mode.

Then, he opened his warehouse.

The 2,000 units of food brought back by the return of his Sacred Night Bugs had already filled up the warehouse.

His only chance to speak in the chat channel today had been used up, and he could not update his trading information a second time that day.

Therefore, he had to deal with all that food promptly.

As soon as he had that in mind, he took out about 1000 units of the elite level five food and gave them to his militia.

As for the remaining 1000 or so units of food, they could always store them on the shelves later.

Although most of the castle’s defense was done by the Sacred Night Bug, the loyalty of his militia had to be maintained at all times.

After a short while, the militia had eaten and drunk their fill, and the energy level of all 50 of them had greatly increased.

Nearly half of the militia had even been upgraded to level two after eating high-quality ape meat!

The energy value of the level two militia had increased by about 100 points, and the attack value had also increased by 50 points, meaning that his level two militia had both construction resources and the ability to defend against external enemies.

It was equivalent to the ability of two level one militia.

Furthermore, the militia’s loyalty also increased greatly in an instant.

The 80-something loyalty value had been upgraded to 90-something, and the 90-something loyalty had been directly upgraded to 100!

It also meant that the chances of his militia betraying him were basically zero, while the construction speed and investment would also be several times higher than before.

With that thought, Su Hao immediately ordered them to immediately start construction!

The militia received the order from him and instantly continued constructing the arrow tower.

Su Hao looked at everything in the castle and his eyes lowered slightly.

There were less than three days left before the invasion of darkness.

His territory had already developed to a relatively large scale, and the construction of the castle was slowly being built under the efforts of the militia.

A level five castle, a level four arrow tower, a level two Holy Healing Spring, a level two Summoning Altar, and so on.

Upgrades of such scales were currently unparalleled in the entire continent. He would also continue to let his swarm of bugs develop in the darkness concurrent to that.

If he could control the number of bugs to only 100,000 before the darkness invasion, then the invasion of darkness would be a piece of cake for him when it came.

The idea led Su Hao to look slowly at the Sacred Night Bugs in the Holy Healing Spring! He immediately gave the order to “Set off!” At his command, tens of thousands of Sacred Night Bugs began chirping non-stop!

The next second, they rose into the air, flew into into the darkness, and became one with it!
