The Tycoon God of Online Gaming - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Target Divine Mountain

After finishing reading the progress bar of the instance dungeon, Chu You walked inside.

The surroundings before him were extremely familiar, Chu You lit up with joy inside. This was the instance dungeon he experienced in his past life, and furthermore, it was not just once. In order to win the highest level of reward during his past life, Chu You spent a lot of painstaking efforts to study this unique instance dungeon. Chu You studied every different method of playing on the game forum again and again. He had seen every training ground and studied their contents for every level and phase. Therefore, Chu You remembered the contents of this instance dungeon extremely well by heart.

He did not make any brief stopovers. Instead, he only took off the straw cape that he was wearing, and put on the top of his combat outfit. Immediately, Chu You sprinted towards the front. As for the first checkpoint, he had nothing much to say. This was a stratagem checkpoint. It required players to use their own Warrior Halberd to destroy some buttons in order to see through the trick.

He was level 10, hence the difficulty of the instance dungeon could be regarded as the easiest level. Although to newbie players who were of lower levels, this checkpoint was very difficult. But Chu You was different.

Chu You dashed forward. With one leap after another, he relaxingly stepped onto the floating and submerged rocks. Once players stepped onto the rocks, these rocks would automatically start to sink slowly. As Chu You continued leaping, a crag appeared in front of him, leaving him with nowhere else to go. Chu You’s expression was still calm as he pulled out his Warrior Halberd from behind him.

At this very moment, an unrivaled sense of familiarity overwhelmed Chu You’s head. It was as though the Warrior Halberd in his hands was a part of his body. In his previous life, he carried this kind of weapon for a good ten years. Could he not be familiar and proficient in it…

Chu You leaped forward, up high. Below him was an utterly destitute abyss. His emotions did not fluctuate a single bit. He calmly used the Warrior Halberd weapon in his hands to strike forcefully above at a mechanism that resembled that of a tower crane. After the mechanism got triggered, a floating stone platform immediately landed from above. It landed right where Chu You was standing. That seemingly dangerous and breathtaking process was nothing much to Chu You.

Along a corridor between two rows of hidden weapon traps, just when Chu You reached the middle section while he was running, he instantly demonstrated the skill he just learned. The skill was Twirl Wave. Under Chu You’s application, it displayed the effect of shifting group attacks. Then, using his incomparable skilled techniques from his previous life, Chu You wielded his Warrior Halberd weapon as he spun its body. At the same time, he moved towards the front as well. Although his speed was not fast, he still barely did it with difficulty. This method of playing would require average players to play for a very long time before they could master it.

Bam! After turning two rounds, the Twirl Wave skill managed to destroy all the surrounding trap mechanisms within 6 meters away.

Not long after, Chu You continued to use this method throughout the whole journey. Eventually, he reached the last checkpoint.

At the site outside the instance dungeon, a white stone tablet without any inscriptions stood there. But at this moment, a ray of red light flashed past, and a row of words appeared. It said: Player Silent Night took 2 minutes to get through the first checkpoint!

Hiss! One of the clan elders gasped, his eyes appearing baffled and shocked.

“That’s impossible to imagine. To think that our disciple actually only spent 2 minutes to pass the first checkpoint?” another clan elder said with an expression that was not much different compared to the clan elder from earlier.

“Thinking back about our earlier days, you and I were in such dire straits when we first went through the first checkpoint. Looks like a monster is going to appear soon in our Warrior Halberd Sword Star clan!” the head clan elder said as if he was in a trance.

“Oh, how I want to witness the peerless charms of this disciple,” the last clan elder said as he shook his head, as though he still found it hard to believe it.

“Haiz, we really can’t tell if this is good or bad. I dare to assert that his record will surpass all our future disciples!”

“This record is really earth-shattering.”

Chu You speedily crawled into a passageway. Not long after, he arrived at an underground hall. In the dark and gloomy hall, there were four lofty statues holding Warrior Halberds in their hands. Looking at all these, Chu You knew that as he walked forward a few more steps, this would set off the statues. This was the second checkpoint!

There was a door to a passageway at the back of the hall; that was the pathway leading to the third checkpoint.

With no additional actions and psychological activities, Chu You instantly activated his transformation mode!

Only to see Chu You’s right index finger pressing down on the space between his eyebrows. There was a peculiar star pattern at that spot. After it was pressed down by Chu You, it immediately spread out in all directions like flower petals. At the same time, a violent bolt of strength exploded within Chu You’s body.

“Shattered star!” It was as though the forceful voice of an ancient god sounded in the mystical world, frightening beyond description!

A purplish gold substance exuded out from Chu You, which quickly spread across his whole body. Lastly, even Chu You’s entire head was fully engulfed as well.

Immediately, Chu You’s body was filled with brutal power, causing his form to increase in size suddenly without stopping. Eventually, he grew up to 5 meters in height.

The purplish gold substance soon got worn off and disappeared. At this moment, Chu You’s body was like a butterfly which just broke out from its cocoon, revealing his actual features!

That was…a set of battle armor formed by the purplish gold substance. At this moment, Chu You’s appearance had changed completely. One would not be able to tell a single trace of his previous self from his current state. It was a completely new appearance.

This appearance…

He was even more cold and frigid, making one feel as though they had fallen into an ice den after getting their feelings hurt.

He became even more heartless and desired less, as though he was not part of the human species anymore. There was no trace of emotions within him.

He was more ruthless and terrifying. That explosive aura that could kill emitted out from Chu You, engulfing the whole hall.

All the transformation that took place earlier only took 10 seconds.

Chu You opened his eyes! That was a pair of eyes without any pupils. They were entirely red inside. Even that little demon who could still tell Chu You apart after turning him into ashes might not be able to tell if this was the Chu You she knew.

Along with the increase in the size of Chu You’s body, the Warrior Halberd in his hand also became gigantic. At this moment, it was as though this ordinary Warrior Halberd weapon got infected by the aura of its owner and became violent as well.

“Heave…” Looking at his own blood capacity, it was as though Chu You had returned back to his level 100 days from his previous life.

At this moment, he moved his feet. With his current imposing build, Chu You immediately dashed towards the front with a burst of electrifying strength. The speed of his sprint, as well as the strength he displayed, did not fail to leave others in complete awe.

In a split second, just when the four statues had not quite been completely awoken, Chu You dashed towards the door leading to the passageway of the third checkpoint. Wielding his ginormous Warrior Halberd as he struck vigorously at the door, a blood capacity bar appeared before Chu You’s eyes. Only by destroying the door could he advance on to the third checkpoint.

At this moment, the four statues had completely awakened. Every one of them held their Warrior Halberd and came charging at Chu You, hacking down towards him.

Chu You did not care at all. Relying on his blood level, Chu You destroyed the door with all his might.

Twirl Wave. Three strikes of leveled hacking. A strike of horizontal sweep, again!

In the hall, four puppets attacked the transformed Chu You. It was just that Chu You’s level suppressed the difficulty of this place. The instance dungeon had become extremely easy. The fatality caused by the puppets’ attacks was not high at all. To Chu You’s scary blood capacity, that was as good as an itch.

“A bunch of salted fish!” Chu You shouted loudly, wielding his weapon to hack down again. The door was destroyed in an instant.

The four puppets vanished into thin air at once. Chu You sprinted in, directly towards the third checkpoint!

The stone tablet outside flashed Chu You’s name again, along with his record. It read: Player Chu You took 2 minutes to get through the second checkpoint!

The four clan elders did not say a single word. Their expressions were serious. It was as though they were faced with a formidable foe. They were all focused on Chu You’s final checkpoint. How long would he spend there?

A dungeon Boss appeared before Chu You. That was an old Warrior Halberd Sword Star, two-star elite.

A chilly hum escaped from Chu You’s lips. He straightaway swung his gigantic Warrior Halberd towards the other party, splitting him into two. Chu You knew that if he did not kill him within a certain period of time, there would be a new batch of small monsters released to his surroundings. They would continue to accumulate more and more, until the player could no longer handle it and die as a result.

Now, there were no other moves, no other ways to retreat and no other ways to fight. He could only fight head on and rip the other apart!

Chu You stood at the same place as he continued wielding his weapon to hack. Seeing the blood level of the other party decreasing little by little, Chu You felt very delighted. He really f***ing loved this sort of feeling.

Without having to use one’s brain, without having to think at all. Just standing there as still as a log and continuing to attack was already enough. Then, he would be able to see his distance from the mission with the highest level of reward getting shorter and shorter. This was all achievable and at his fingertips!

This Boss was still using his skills to attack Chu You non-stop. Those moves, that technique…it was as though he was passing on Warrior experience of the Warrior Halberd occupation.

“What’s the use!? You old salty fish!” Chu You shouted loudly, and he conveniently swung his weapon towards him…

The Warrior Halberd Boss suddenly stopped moving, and he glared angrily at Chu You. His face was bright red from suppressing his anger. He roared with fury, “What did you say? Repeat that again!”

A look of surprise flashed across Chu You’s face. This Boss knows how to talk as well? Why did no one mention this in his previous lifetime? But it was not like this was any bit useful.

“I will kill you, old salty fish!” Holding his gigantic Warrior Halberd in his hands, Chu You dashed towards the other party and hacked at his head.

Pft!! Far away, in the central city at the heart of Huaxia, an old man with an out of the ordinary bearing sitting in a hall suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood. This scenario caused the surrounding disciples to be awakened abruptly. One after another, they looked on with doubtful eyes.

“Master! What’s wrong? Were you too addicted to it?” One of the disciples was very worried about the fact that the master might have been too addicted.

“Addicted? Addicted? Addicted my foot! Why are you guys all looking at me, hurry and grasp the art of Warrior Halberd that I just imparted to you guys!” The master suddenly flared up, causing the surrounding higher level Warrior Halberd disciples to cower in fear, afraid to say anything more. They immediately closed their eyes to attain enlightenment.

“A bunch of damned nerds!” the master scolded with resentment in front of everyone. He wiped away the blood around his lips. With the appearance of the first disciple of the clan dashing to test out the training ground, as the chief of the clan, he felt that he should have imparted some Warrior Halberd Sword Star battle experience to that disciple. He wanted to treat that as a reward for that disciple, but who knew that…

At this moment, a new wave of small monsters was added to the instance dungeon. But this did not seem to affect Chu You’s cheerful rhythm as he even jumped joyfully from all the enjoyment. He totally did not sense the changes in the Boss’s body. Why did the instance dungeon Boss who just started suddenly displaying mechanical actions not possess the romantic charm at this moment?

“Execution.”

“Rest in peace, salted fish!” Chu You made a deadly strike, killing this Boss who was only left with a blood level of 300 with one strike of execution.

System notice: Congratulations, you passed this test perfectly. You have obtained the ‘Unparalleled Warrior Halberd skill’ skills book, and attained +50,000 XP.

System notice: Your results have surpassed the records of the clan’s past generations, and triggered the hidden reward. Hereby, your reward is: overall form type attributes +2, you have obtained 10 points of mobile attributes!

Chu You’s pupils shrunk. Turned out there was actually a hidden reward…then just how scary were his results? After this, Chu You searched it up in the skills book.

Unparalleled Warrior Halberd skill (six-stage skill): Within 2 minutes, one’s attacks will increase by 40%. The speed of movements will increase by 20, with the attacking speed increasing by 30. The effects will take effect instantly, and cool down after 20 minutes. Proficiency rate 0/3000. Required occupation is Warrior Halberd Sword Star, no minimum requirement of level, not for sale!

Looking at the contents of the skill, Chu You felt excited. In his previous lifetime, he did not receive this skills book. Although he knew the instance dungeon like the back of his hand, if he wanted to pass the checkpoints perfectly, it was still too hard, too hard for Chu You, who possessed average level techniques.

Chu You immediately started to practice this skills book. Now, there was finally a skill that could improve the character’s condition. However, what was regrettable was the active skill. If he had received a passive skill book to increase his attacking speed…how nice would that be?

A short while later, Chu You got rid of his transformed state. He put on his straw cape and left the instance dungeon. The moment his body appeared outside, Chu You immediately ran to the stone tablet to take a look, only to see that the stone tablet was carved with a sentence that made him feel invigorated. This stone tablet was used interchangeably by the whole Huaxia district. All Warrior Halberd Sword Stars from the seven countries would be able to view the stone tablet from the clan entrance of the town they were at.

Player Silent Night took: 10 minutes to perfectly pass the testing training ground.

Chu You secretly nodded in his head; he felt satisfied. He had never even seen this result in the latest part of the game in his past life. This proved that he had really created a myth.

He compiled the 10 attributes he had gotten from the hidden mission reward to his strength. Chu You summed up what he had learned, and that was high-level skills, high blood level.

Because…this was the kingly way!

Taking a deep breath…as for later on, it was now time for him to settle the official matters. As he took a look at the faraway Wangshan, a wave of excitement arose in Chu You’s heart which he could not suppress. He immediately ran towards the town.

“This disciple, his future is filled with unlimited possibilities,” a clan elder murmured as he watched Chu You’s figure.

Not long after, Chu You arrived at a state office building. Upon entering, he arrived at an office site.

“Excuse me, are you here for anything?” A middle-aged man wearing a ceremonial dress of an official walked over and spoke as he yawned. He looked listless.

“I want to start a gang!” Chu You’s icy cold voice escaped from the bamboo hat.

“Oh?” This official’s body jerked, his previously listless self disappearing in the blink of an eye. His eyes became bright and penetrating, as though he saw money on Chu You’s body.

“Please hurry and follow me.” The official brought Chu You to sit beside a document. He said to Chu You, “If you have any doubts, please feel free to consult him.”

“I don’t need any consult, just give me the Talisman of Heavenly Law for starting a gang.”

“The Heavenly Talisman is priced at ten thousand gold coins.”

Chu You straightaway engaged in the transaction as he handed ten thousand gold coins over. Then, he obtained the must-have item for starting a gang from the official, a ‘Talisman of Heavenly Law.’

After finishing all of this, without demur, Chu You turned around and walked out towards the door.

After setting Wangshan town as his town portal base, Chu You immediately walked towards the exit of the town. On his way there, some NPC carrying a few missions said some strange things to Chu You as they brushed past each other face-to-face. Chu You knew that they were simply trying to get Chu You to take up their mission.

Not long after, missions would come looking for you instead. This was the good thing about being the first player to reach here; you got to enjoy the priority of choosing the missions. It was just then that a sneer flashed across Chu You’s face. Without even looking at those NPCs, he disregarded them and walked past them.

At the town entrance, a beggar sat in a corner kicking up a fuss about a non-existent illness. His eyes seemed to casually take one look at Chu You and he stopped looking at him. With that sort of action and voice, to a veteran from his past life like Chu You, one look and he could tell that this was an NPC with a hidden mission. Hidden missions were usually only for one player. Upon accepting such a mission, other players would not be able to accept a mission like this. The rewards for missions like these were impressive. To players at the beginning stage of the game, it was a very good source for equipment.

It’s just that in this lifetime, why do I need to accept your hidden missions? All missions, get out!

“Get out and move further away!” Chu You straightaway blacklisted the NPC who was hiding his mission. A mission that was worth at least a piece of Red Vessel level equipment reward was blown away by Chu You just like this.

Afterward, he exited the town. Chu You took big strides towards Wangshan.

Divine mountain, here I come!
