Chapter 85: Breakthrough Before Battle! Blitzing the Demon Clan!
Although he spoke lightly, Wen Yu had already raised his focus to 100%. After all, there were still many Third-Tier Demon Clan Members blocking the road ahead.
"It seems I can't wait until tomorrow to sell the spatial equipment; I must upgrade my skills immediately!" Wen Yu never dared to underestimate any member of the Demon Clan.
However, after experiencing the siege by top-tier Second Class Transfer demon clan members, Wen Yu realized he had still underestimated the Demon Clan.
Although his skills were sufficient to cause large-scale instant kills, the damage from the Demon Clan had also left a deep impression on Wen Yu.
He confirmed the number of skill upgrade cards in his backpack again! 3504!
The first skill Wen Yu chose to upgrade was his [Space Wormhole]!
As Wen Yu's trump card skill, whether he could instantly kill the Third-Tier Demon Clan Members later and whether he could instantly destroy the demon clan teleportation array depended entirely on this skill!
Upgrade!
[Space Wormhole] (Legendary)
Upgrade requirement: skill upgrade card * 2048
Effect: Summon a wormhole at a designated location to instantly deal 6 instances of damage to targets within a 20 * 20 meter range, with each instance dealing 380% magic damage. Targets with less than 20% of their total HP remaining at the end of the attack will be sucked into the wormhole.
Cooldown: 42 minutes
Mana cost: 1000
The skill damage increased again, instantly dealing 2280% magic damage to units within a 20 * 20 meter range and instantly killing those with low health.
And thanks to the boosts from Space Blessing and his equipment, the skill range also reached 34 * 34 meters!
Next, Wen Yu upgraded his primary life-saving skill, [Magic Shield].
After spending 512 skill upgrade cards, Wen Yu finally obtained his first God-tier skill!
[Magic Shield] (God-tier) (Cannot be upgraded)
Effect: Provides a shield equal to 200% of magic damage.
Duration: 10 minutes
Cooldown: 42 seconds
Mana cost: 100
"As expected, the limit for skills is God-tier! It cannot be upgraded further!"
For the subsequent skill upgrades, Wen Yu chose options that were more defensive. The next wave would be a gamble on the Space Wormhole!
[Elfs Blessing] (Immortal-tier)
Upgrade requirement: skill upgrade card * 512
Effect: Summon elves to sprinkle the Blessing Holy Spring upon yourself, reducing damage taken by 20%.
Duration: 1 minute
Cooldown: 7 minutes
Mana cost: 400
[Teleport] (Immortal-tier)
Upgrade requirement: skill upgrade card * 512
Effect: Instantly teleport to any location within a 550 * 550 meter radius around you.
Cooldown: 0.1 seconds
Mana cost: 50
[Space Blessing] (Legendary)
Upgrade requirement: skill upgrade card * 1024
Effect: Space shelters the entire team, increasing the attack distance/skill range of all players in the team by 50%
Duration: 10 minutes
Cooldown: 21 minutes
Mana cost: 100
In order to further boost the range of Teleport and Space Wormhole, Wen Yu directly upgraded Space Blessing from Diamond to Legendary quality in one go!
And the range was increased to 50%!
After the upgrades were complete, looking at the remaining 688 skill upgrade cards in his backpack, Wen Yu finally decided to just upgrade Teleport to God-tier in one go!
[Teleport] (God-tier) (Cannot be upgraded)
Effect: Instantly teleport to any location within a 600 * 600 meter radius around you.
Cooldown: 0.1 seconds
Mana cost: 50
"Who would have thought that the skill I looked down upon the most, and the one I chose to upgrade last, would become one of the first to reach God-tier…"
…
While killing the demon clan members, Wen Yu continued to approach the location of the teleportation array.
The abnormal situation here completely drew the attention of the demon clan members around the altar.
More demon clan members approached Wen Yu, but to his surprise, the Third-Tier Demon Clan Members around the teleportation array did not move.
"A good opportunity!" The strongest group was all gathered around the teleportation array. As long as he could place the Space Wormhole correctly, this special dungeon would definitely be cleared!
Checking that all his skills were in a usable state, Wen Yu decisively chose to activate Space Blessing again!
Explosive Stance!
After instantly knocking back all surrounding enemies, Wen Yu teleported towards the teleportation array!
After the blessing bonus, the distance of each of Wen Yu's teleports exceeded a full 1000 meters!
Constantly teleporting, he also kept using [Ice Shard], [Endless Black Hole], and [Chain Lightning] to clear the surrounding demon clan members along the way.
"Almost there!" 20 seconds later, Wen Yu discovered that the teleportation array had entered his attack range.
He decisively used [Void Lock Target], and the target was precisely the gathering place of the Third-Tier Demon Clan Members not far away!
"I'll control as many as I can."
Without stopping his skills, the [Space Wormhole] formed immediately above the teleportation array.
A terrifying deterrent force swept across the field; the demon clan teleportation array collapsed instantly, and all demon clan members within a 72-meter radius of the rift were instantly absorbed by it.
The rift seemed to have gained nutrients, flashing with black and white colors.
After using the skill, Wen Yu clearly had no mood to continue watching. To prevent any accidents, he directly used Flashback to return to his position from 8 seconds ago.
Re-activating his Magic Shield, Wen Yu looked towards the direction of the teleportation array.
With the large array as the center, a vacuum zone had completely formed around it.
It was completely empty; not even a hair of a demon clan member could be seen.
Only a few remaining demon clan members escaped unharmed because they were relatively far away!
Following the collapse of the large array, the remaining Third-Tier Demon Clan Members let out earth-shattering roars!
Shouting something loudly, they rushed towards Wen Yu.
Elfs Blessing!
"Not bad. If nothing goes wrong, this dungeon should be cleared!" Seeing the terrifying destructive power caused by the Space Wormhole, Wen Yu finally smiled with relief.
However, Wen Yu still dared not relax. This dungeon wouldn't be successfully cleared just by destroying the teleportation array, and for Wen Yu, killing the demon clan members was endless!
Fortunately, the truly powerful demon clan members were closest to the teleportation array and had already been absorbed by the rift.
The remaining demon clan members were not considered powerful, even among the Third-Tier.
Relying solely on their output, it was not enough to break Wen Yu's shield, which had 20% damage reduction and 200% magic damage, within 48 seconds.
Furthermore, after the teleportation array was shattered, the enraged demon clan members rushed towards Wen Yu as if they had lost their minds, unafraid even of death.
If the demon clan members weren't afraid, Wen Yu naturally wasn't afraid either. It only took him a few minutes to slaughter them all, like a hot knife through butter.
…
"Phew, that was tiring." Wen Yu stretched and looked around; apart from a ground full of corpses, there were no living creatures as far as the eye could see.
"Let's take a break. I'll ask how Ye Qian is doing by the way."
Just as he was about to send a message to Ye Qian, roars suddenly came from the direction where Wen Yu had arrived in the dungeon!
Turning to look, he discovered it was the low-level demon clan members who had been guarding the perimeter earlier, and their HP was not at a healthy level.
It was as if they had received the signal that the large array had been destroyed, and one by one, they rushed over to "seek death" at Wen Yu's hands.
And behind the crowd of demons, there was a blood-covered person wielding a large hammer, continuously chasing them!
…
"Holy crap! Ye Qian!"
***
Chapter 86: Were you also controlled by Daji?
Seeing that Ye Qian was actually still inside the dungeon, Wen Yu was slightly surprised.
"It seems the War God's skills are far from as simple as I saw..."
Working together with Ye Qian in a pincer attack, very quickly.
The demons in the dungeon were wiped out completely by the two of them.
At this moment, both of them had been completely dyed bright red by demon blood, looking like "blood people."
To identify each other, they could only rely on the weapons in their hands!
"Are you okay?" Seeing Ye Qian panting slightly, Wen Yu asked.
"I'm fine, it's not a big problem. There were just too many demons; killing them left me a bit exhausted."
Ye Qian pointed at the shattered demon clan teleportation array and continued, "What about you? What is that pile of rubble?"
Wen Yu explained everything that had happened here to Ye Qian in detail.
...
After leaving the dungeon, Wen Yu and the other discovered that the level 11 wild monsters still hadn't changed! And the purple energy surrounding them still hadn't dissipated!
After using skills to clear two more waves of monsters, they found that the bears still hadn't returned to their original appearance!
"What's going on? Once affected by the purple energy, they can't change back?"
Both were confused, but for now, they couldn't come up with any better solution.
10 minutes later.
After cleaning the blood off their bodies, the two returned to Extreme Ice City.
"This is the first time I've encountered this kind of dungeon. We worked ourselves to the bone, and it didn't give us anything at all." Ye Qian found it quite strange.
Wen Yu recalled his own experience when he first entered the Demon Race Altar dungeon; aside from the broken silver equipment given for killing Cai Yu, finishing the dungeon yielded nothing.
"Demon-related dungeons are like this. However, when you settle rewards with the City Lord, the compensation is very generous. That's how I got my Space Mage class."
"But it's really strange. Why are the level 12 to 30 wild monster areas completely fine, while only the level 11 area has problems? If the demons want to mutate things, shouldn't they try to mutate higher-level monsters?" Ye Qian was completely baffled.
Wen Yu naturally couldn't answer this question either, so he just shook his head casually.
Ye Qian first accompanied Wen Yu on a trip to the Extreme Ice City Lord's mansion to complete the small quest "Check the Seal" issued by Zhang Chunlai.
The rewards given were, of course, not generous. After all, it was just a local dungeon in a Tier 3 Main City, and for Wen Yu, it couldn't provide much of an upgrade anymore.
A small amount of experience points plus a few gold coins made up the entirety of the rewards.
"It's fine, the big reward is still to come."
This time, when entering the Moonlight City Lord's mansion, Wen Yu brought Ye Qian with him.
Since she put in the effort, he wanted to see if he could help Ye Qian snag some rewards.
And by the way, get her familiarized with Cao Yifan.
"Enforcer, you've returned. How is the situation?" Cao Yifan walked up warmly and grabbed Wen Yu's hand.
"..." What is wrong with you City Lords? Why do you love holding hands so much?
Only Chen Ping looks like a normal person.
"And who is this?" Cao Yifan also noticed Ye Qian, whom Wen Yu had brought along.
"This is my teammate for this trip. It was all thanks to her that we were able to wipe out the Demon Tribe Gathering Place so smoothly!"
"Demon Tribe Gathering Place?! What happened? Is it true that demons have already descended upon Earth Star through the rifts?!" Hearing Wen Yu's words, Cao Yifan was also shocked!
Subsequently, Wen Yu told Cao Yifan everything that happened on this trip, including encountering the demons and destroying the demon clan teleportation array, leaving nothing out. This also included the purple energy that had yet to dissipate.
The expression on Cao Yifan's face changed constantly as he listened!
And upon hearing that Wen Yu and the other had endured great hardships to finally kill all the demons and completely destroy the demon clan teleportation array.
Cao Yifan stood up excitedly!
"Good! Very good! Thank you for your hard work, Enforcer! And this warrior who is equally exceptionally brave! It is precisely because people like you exist that we can ensure Earth Star remains safe from demon devastation! I will continue to have people investigate the purple energy matter; you can rest assured about that!"
"You have successfully unraveled the demons' conspiracy! This is the reward I have prepared for you..."
In the sight of Wen Yu and Ye Qian! They saw that before Cao Yifan could even finish his sentence, he suddenly turned into a fool, just like Chen Ping had back then! His eyes instantly became dull, and his whole body stood straight like a machine!
"Holy crap! Were you also controlled by Daji?!"
Ye Qian was obviously startled and didn't know what was happening right now.
Without making them wait too long, the system notification sound rang in Wen Yu's ears!
"Ding!~"
"Due to unknown reasons, your rewards have changed!"
"Congratulations on completing the hidden quest — [Seal the Rift]!"
"Congratulations, you have obtained [skill materialization card] * 2"
"Congratulations, you have obtained [attribute materialization card] * 8"
"Congratulations, you have obtained 1,000,000 Gold Coins"
"Thank you for your contribution to the human race!"
"As expected! As long as you complete demon-related quests, these City Lords get controlled, and the rewards change!"
"Thanking me for my contribution to the human race; it seems a higher-dimensional entity has intervened! They forcibly upgraded the rewards given to me!"
However, Wen Yu still wasn't sure who this so-called higher-dimensional entity actually was.
But Wen Yu had a guess in his heart; perhaps [After Tomorrow] has its own will?
The current Wen Yu was no longer the greenhorn who had just entered the game; when Chen Ping was controlled, Wen Yu hadn't yet come into contact with materialization and didn't understand it.
With Cao Yifan being controlled, Wen Yu could instantly analyze the truth behind many things.
Watching Cao Yifan turn around mechanically and walk toward the back hall.
Wen Yu decided to try to "communicate" with him!
"Please wait a moment!"
Cao Yifan, upon hearing Wen Yu's call, did indeed pause his steps and turned around mechanically to look back again.
"May I ask how I can help you?"
Wen Yu didn't ask questions like whether he was the will of the planet or something similar, but decisively chose to ask straightforwardly: how does the other party want him to help "him"?
Hearing Wen Yu's question, Cao Yifan clearly showed a thoughtful expression, but he had no intention of answering Wen Yu.
They saw Cao Yifan, as if he had figured something out, smile at Wen Yu, and then turn around... walking back toward his back hall in a mechanical manner once again.
"..." Not being able to communicate made Wen Yu somewhat disappointed.
But the other party had smiled at Wen Yu as he left, and Wen Yu noted that.
"The other party is able to hear me... but due to unknown reasons, they still cannot communicate."
Wen Yu felt like he was starting to fall in love with the phrase "unknown reasons"...
"I hope that the next time we meet, I will be able to communicate with you."
Walking out of the City Lord's mansion with Ye Qian, Wen Yu asked Ye Qian if she had received any rewards.
"I got 1 skill materialization card and 2 attribute materialization cards," Ye Qian said. "It said I had merit in assisting to wipe out the demons and thanked me for my contribution to the human race."
Wen Yu nodded, understanding in his heart.
"You can take all these rewards. I was supposed to be here to help you, but I didn't really help..." Ye Qian said.
Hearing Ye Qian's words, Wen Yu looked at her in surprise. She doesn't even want the skill materialization card?
Of course, Wen Yu couldn't possibly take the rewards that belonged to Ye Qian.
Wen Yu smiled and shook his head: "It's a reward for your contribution to the human race; you naturally made your own contribution."
"That was obtained by you killing demons on your own, so just keep it and use it. I also received my own rewards."
"Besides, without you holding back the demons in the back, I wouldn't have been able to destroy the teleportation array so easily."
This was, of course, a lie; even if ten thousand more level 20 demons came, it wouldn't be enough for Wen Yu to kill alone.
However, Wen Yu felt that Ye Qian was also a bit foolishly cute.
"Remember to keep what happened in the City Lord's mansion today a secret."
After saying goodbye to Ye Qian, Wen Yu walked toward the [Dungeon Teleporter].
"Ding!~"
"You have a new message!"
[Still Not Calling Mom]: "Thank you..."
Haha! This silly girl!
***
Chapter 87: Sunshine City Meeting!
Bad news: The Demon race quests do not give experience point rewards!
Good news: I can continue farming the "Time Corridor"!
After parting ways with Ye Qian, Wen Yu, now equipped with a wooden sword, had been the "Qiu Qiu Nightmare" in the "Time Corridor" for an hour.
Just as he was hacking away, he noticed someone had sent him a message again.
[ I Can Fly ]: "Boss, as of just now, the view counts for the three videos have stopped growing."
Seeing the message from Li Jue, Wen Yu suddenly realized that he still had three videos selling on the forum.
He had been so busy these past two days that he had almost forgotten about it.
"How is it? How much money did they sell for in total? I haven't been paying attention."
"The "White Wolf Kings Lair" has had a total of 4.12 million viewers."
""Minotaur Castle" had 3.88 million."
"The most expensive one, the "Graveyard of the Dead", had 3.91 million viewers."
"My total earnings are exactly 39,447,223 yuan."
"..." As expected of Li Jue, he could earn so much money just by coming up with a random flashy idea.
Nearly 40 million, which was already far more than Wen Yu's total net worth...
"Just send me 30 million, and you can keep the rest." Since it was Li Jue's idea, there was no problem with him taking a larger share.
Wen Yu also learned that Li Jue was about to reach level 30, so he told Li Jue to contact him again after finishing the class transfer.
"Time flies; even Li Jue is almost level 30. I wonder if Brother Rong is planning anything on his end."
"I've also obtained 3 skill materialization cards; it's time to consider using them."
"It's probably getting late; I'll stop farming."
Wen Yu looked at the Alarm Clock Qiu Qiu in front of him and started a new round of slaughter.
"Ding! ~"
"Killed "alarm clock king", EXP + 400,000"
"Congratulations on obtaining Gold Coins * 78,492"
"Congratulations on obtaining "Wind and Cloud Magic Bracelet""
"Congratulations on obtaining "attribute materialization card" * 2"
"Congratulations on obtaining "skill upgrade card" * 20"
"Yo! Another Mage equipment dropped!"
Wen Yu immediately opened his inventory to check.
[ Wind and Cloud Magic Bracelet ] (Diamond)
Level: 40
Description: A bracelet component of the Wind and Cloud Mage set crafted by the legendary master Leonardo, which went missing after the last Demon race invasion.
Magic Attack + 500
Intelligence + 100
Agility + 100
Luck + 5
Set Effect (1/5): None
Class Requirement: Mage
"It's just alright. It actually doesn't add much more than the Platinum set. I'll just have to see if the set bonus can offer any surprises when the time comes!"
After leaving the instance, just as Wen Yu was about to start considering which skills to materialize, he suddenly heard shouting from afar.
"Lord Shi! Lord Shi!"
"...?" Wen Yu turned to look and discovered that it was actually City Lord's Mansion guard, Huang Ruoyun, again.
"What is it?..."
"Lord Shi! The City Lord requests your presence at the Sunshine City City Lord's Mansion for a chat!"
"?"
"Am I mistaken, or is my memory fuzzy? I remember coming out of the City Lord's Mansion just an hour ago. Wasn't Cao Yifan controlled? He recovered so quickly? He can even visit relatives and friends in Sunshine City now?"
Full of doubt, Wen Yu decided to go to the Sunshine City City Lord's Mansion to see what was going on.
Sunshine City was the first main city known to the player base; one could even say that without the "Job Experience Officer" in Sunshine City, it would have been impossible for Wen Yu to surpass everyone so quickly.
Wen Yu had slaughtered dragons in the wilderness of "Human King City" and run through monster gathering areas in "Starlight City", but he had never been to "Sunshine City".
Standing beside the "teleportation array" in "Sunshine City", Wen Yu looked around.
He found that it wasn't much different from "Moonlight City"; the main city buildings were still the same.
He teleported to the "Sunshine City" City Lord's Mansion.
After being announced.
Wen Yu saw Cao Yifan again. At this moment, Cao Yifan had completely returned to his senses and seemed completely unaware of the "possession" incident from before.
Naturally, Wen Yu couldn't bring it up.
Besides Cao Yifan, Wen Yu also saw the City Lords of the other three main cities.
"Sunshine City" City Lord [ Xu Jingchuan ]
"Starlight City" City Lord [ Qiu Mengying ]
"Human King City" City Lord [ Chen Shan ]
"They're actually gathered together; are they having a meeting?"
Wen Yu still respectfully greeted the three City Lords first.
"You must be the "Enforcer", nice to meet you. I am Xu Jingchuan." The "Sunshine City" City Lord also responded to Wen Yu's greeting.
"We were just listening to Yifan talk about you wiping out the Demon race stronghold when you arrived."
"Seeing is believing; heroes truly emerge from the youth!" Xu Jingchuan said.
"You flatter me, it is thanks to all the City Lords!"
"You don't need to be humble. We specifically called you to "Sunshine City" today because we have something we want to ask your opinion on."
"? What kind of matter requires my opinion?"
Just as Wen Yu was thinking, he heard Xu Jingchuan continue: "Your adventurer group should be arriving at our four cities very soon. We are wondering if there is any way to make the adventurers choose more evenly."
The female City Lord of "Starlight City", Qiu Mengying, sighed and took over the conversation, her light female voice ringing out: "After all, you know that after the last Demon race invasion, a total of three main cities were destroyed."
"No one can say for sure how long it will be before the Demon race creates chaos again, so we four main cities want to try to make the adventurers distribute more evenly while also ensuring the strength of the four cities."
"Little handsome~ can you help us think of a way?"
"..." What kind of way could I have? Do I look like I can control the thoughts of hundreds of millions of people while chatting with you here?
However, Wen Yu pondered for a moment. Players were about to arrive at the "Second-Tier Main City", and "Sunshine City" would definitely be the players' first choice, as they had long heard of the fame of "Sunshine City".
"It's not entirely impossible. If I recall correctly, "Sunshine City" once dispatched "Job Experience Officer" to various "Novice Village" to provide convenience for us adventurers. Now that the "Second Class Transfer" is imminent, everyone's first choice will likely be "Sunshine City". This is indeed a fact that cannot be changed."
"The only solution now is to implore the three of you to also dispatch people to the "Novice Village". The number of adventurers will see an explosive increase recently."
"I think that should be enough to change the status quo where everyone only knows "Sunshine City"."
Wen Yu continued: "I will also think of ways to promote the other three cities among the adventurer group. Let's see if I can turn people's perceptions around."
Wen Yu prepared to see whether to do it in his own name or ask "Brother Rong" for help; posting a thread on the forum should solve it.
...
Walking out of the City Lord's Mansion, Wen Yu only then realized that he had just offered advice for free! He didn't get any rewards at all!
However, he naturally had to do what he promised. In the end, Wen Yu contacted "Lin Sirong" and told him his ideas.
Using the safety of the four "Second-Tier Main City" as a pretext, he posted to try to disperse the player group.
"Lin Sirong" agreed immediately.
Of course, although it was a "pretext", he really wasn't lying.
The player group was too concentrated; although the main cities were interconnected, every death meant a teleportation.
Character overlapping had been disabled, so if they really started fighting the Demon race, just running around the map would be a problem.
Spreading the personnel out would also be convenient for the player group, and it wouldn't cause overcrowding.
Ending the chat with "Lin Sirong", Wen Yu used up all the remaining 10 "attribute materialization card" he had on him.
Now, Wen Yu's own materialization rate had reached as high as 58%.
It could be said that he was already a small giant in the real world.
Wen Yu also added the 15 free attribute points he gained from leveling up to Constitution again.
Afterward, he flipped through his skill bar over and over again.
Finally, he took out his three "skill materialization card"!
"It's decided, you three it is!"
"Materialize!"
***
Chapter 88: First Skill Release!
After taking off his helmet, Wen Yu realized it was already 10:30 PM.
Having spent 15 million gold coins in one go to materialize his skills, Wen Yu felt his heart ache so much he couldn't breathe!
With his Attribute Materialization rate reaching 58%, Wen Yu first opened his attribute panel to check!
[ Wen Yu ]
HP: 1010
MP: 1010
Physical Attack: 30
Magic Attack: 83466
Defense: 197
Strength: 15
Intelligence: 41733
Agility: 8
Constitution: 101
"Not bad. My Constitution has been boosted, and my MP has reached over 1000. I don't have to worry about not being able to cast skills for now."
Wen Yu looked at his skill panel again:
[ Magic Shield ]
Effect: Provides a shield equal to 200% of your Magic Attack.
Duration: 10 minutes
Cooldown: 1 minute
MP Cost: 100
[ Blink ]
Effect: Instantly teleport to any location within a 600 * 600 meter radius.
Cooldown: 0.1 seconds
MP Cost: 50
[ Insight Technique ]
Effect: Can discern information about all inanimate objects. Anyone using invisibility or attempting to manipulate space in front of you will be instantly detected!
...
That's right, the three skills Wen Yu prioritized materializing were [ Magic Shield ], [ Blink ], and finally [ Insight Technique ]!
Wen Yu was afraid of death. In the coming new world, his top priority was, of course, to preserve his own life!
Therefore, during the initial materialization phase, the first thing Wen Yu did was materialize all three of his god-tier survival skills!
To defend against strong enemies, to escape, and to prevent assassination.
The moment he saw the effects of the three skills, Wen Yu developed a new perspective on the word "Materialization."
"Materialization defaults to my Space Mage class; otherwise, the cooldown for Blink couldn't possibly be just 0.1 seconds."
"In the game, my Magic Shield already had a 42-second cooldown, but it reverted to the initial 1 minute upon returning to reality. Therefore, materializing skills doesn't mean materializing all my current stacked effects; skill cooldown reduction can only be achieved after I bring the equipment out."
"And Insight Technique is even more interesting; it's a completely different concept from the one in the game. It makes sense that it can't actively discern living beings; otherwise, if I walked down the street and just randomly used it on someone, wouldn't I be able to see their entire ancestral history clearly!"
Next, it was time to test the skills.
Wen Yu chose to activate Magic Shield first. The moment he activated it, he could clearly feel the "HP" of his shield.
166932.
It was exactly twice Wen Yu's Magic Attack.
With Magic Shield activated, Wen Yu punched the wall again with even more force than last time!
The wall could be seen vibrating from the inside, and Wen Yu's fist print was left on the wall's surface!
And Wen Yu's shield value decreased by 10 points.
"It doesn't hurt!"
He deactivated Magic Shield and punched the wall again with slightly less force.
"Ouch!"
Wen Yu rubbed his fist and continued to analyze the situation before him.
"Magic Shield doesn't just help me block damage; it can even block the sensation of pain."
"This skill is really great; I'm most afraid of pain..."
Next to be tested was Blink. Although the skill allowed Wen Yu to teleport to any location within 600 meters, he wasn't prepared to run around aimlessly using Blink right now.
He teleported from the second floor to the sofa on the first floor, and then, with a thought from the first-floor sofa, instantly teleported to the small garden on the roof.
"Not bad. The Blink skill doesn't have the restriction of 'can only teleport to places within line of sight.' As long as it's within 600 meters, I can teleport however I want."
Afterward, Wen Yu tried to teleport from the sofa to the air 1 meter above the ground, but failed.
"There are restrictions, though; I must teleport to a place where I can stand on solid ground."
Finally, Wen Yu tested Insight Technique! Standing in the living room, he activated Insight Technique! He looked at items one by one.
[ Nordford Color TV ]
Size: 64 inches
Durability: 9940 / 10000
Attack Power: None
[ Nordford Leather Sofa ]
Material: Cowhide
Durability: 8882 / 10000
Attack Power: None
[ Wine Cabinet ]
Material: Redwood
Durability: 9999 / 10000
Attack Power: None
"No attack power? When those warriors start smashing people with TVs in the future, let's see if you still have no attack power then."
Teleporting to the kitchen, Wen Yu looked at common real-life weapons: knives.
"Sigh~ I never liked exercise to begin with, and now with Blink, I can completely say goodbye to exercise..."
[ Zwilling Stainless Steel Knife ]
Material: Stainless steel
Durability: 9913 / 10000
Attack Power: 3
[ Zhang Xiaoquan Stainless Steel Knife ]
Material: Stainless steel
Durability: 9974 / 10000
Attack Power: 3
[ Wang Mazi Boning Knife ]
Material: Stainless steel
Durability: 7598 / 10000
Attack Power: 4
Wen Yu searched around but couldn't find any items with low durability, and he didn't know if zero durability meant the item was broken.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Wen Yu pulled out his old mobile phone.
[ Weiwo X560 ]
Durability: 849 / 10000
Attack Power: 1
"I've definitely used it for too long. Since starting the game, I haven't had the time. I need to go buy a new phone."
Opening his phone, the notification for the 30 million deposit was still glowing on the screen.
"I need to hurry up and spend some money. I've earned so much, it's time to enjoy it!"
——
Wen Yu didn't plan to go back into the game today; it was already late, and sleeping early is good for the liver!
After eating, Wen Yu returned to his small terrace. He took out his phone and started checking the "news" related to the game.
Before, he could occasionally see the latest news about other games, but now, upon opening the forum, everything he saw was about [ After Tomorrow ]!
" [ After Tomorrow ] Talent Strength Ranking! "
The national-compiled Talent Strength Ranking was still firmly sitting in the number one spot, impossible to surpass.
" Must-Read for Newbies: A Comprehensive Guide to Basic Knowledge of [ After Tomorrow ]! "
" NPCs call [ After Tomorrow ] Earth Star? "
" The Twin Heroes of Wind City! "
" Brothers! This planet is just too realistic! "
Reading through them, Wen Yu discovered quite a bit of interesting news. Some players had already begun interacting with NPCs and learned about the thoughts of some of the "natives" of [ After Tomorrow ]. There were also new players who, after entering the game, immediately picked up the Talent Ranking to check their own Talent grade.
However, after looking around, Wen Yu noticed that there were many class-based Talents, and most were below B-grade.
The news began to ferment, and the newly opened Novice Villages were occupied by players immediately. Wen Yu took a rough look; the Novice Village with the highest number claimed to be born in Novice Village No. 1028522.
"That means another 300 million players have entered After Tomorrow. It's terrifying; 700 million people playing together, and that's just in one country..."
Wen Yu also clicked into " The Twin Heroes of Wind City! ". It turned out to be about a couple with the game IDs [ Dragon Lord ] and [ Snake Granny ].
These two people were originally unremarkable, but after obtaining second place in the fun activity [ Six Color Doors ], they became unstoppable.
They embarked on their path to legend. Facing players who wanted to kill them for loot, they were able to fight a group of people by themselves.
BOSSes they couldn't beat before could now barely be cleared. They obtained a [ guild founding token ] and created their own guild, [ Peerless Dragon and Snake ].
They performed brilliantly during the Demon Invasion and gained a large number of points. Now, [ Peerless Dragon and Snake ] is in full swing, even suppressing established factions like [ Netherworld ] and [ Summer Drinks ] in Wind City. For a time, they were unrivaled in popularity!
"I actually forgot; I still didn't know what the reward for second place in that activity was. But looking at this description, isn't it a bit suspiciously fierce?"
"The Hidden Class scroll awarded to first place wouldn't be enough to let someone fight a whole group..."
"And their names aren't on the leaderboard, either."
Wen Yu continued to look at the comment section, but no one could explain exactly what the situation was.
...
"My heart is beating, it's love burning like fire..."
Before the song finished, Wen Yu picked up the phone.
"It's the middle of the night, why are you calling?" Wen Yu asked.
"Bo... Boss!" A trembling voice came from the phone.
"..."
Wen Yu was speechless; it was the same old routine again.
"This news... who else have you told?"
