“Bright Night, I feel that something big is about to happen soon,” Kill Leader said softly as he turned around and looked at Lin Luoer.
“What big thing?” Lin Luoer performed healing magic on Kill Leader, her face surprised.
“I don’t understand it either. Lately, Boss’s way of doing things is obscure…,” Kill Leader muttered. His heart was extremely perplexed.
It was because his boss looked extremely concerned with the matter of the North America area. But the North America area was so far away from them; what was the point in being concerned about it? However from what his boss said along with his tone, he sensed something different. As a gamer with many years of gaming experience, Kill Leader was very very clear that this was the prelude of stirring up trouble.
One was in the North America area, whereas the other one was in the Huaxia area. The distance between the two parties was just too great. Why would there be resentments between them?
Could it be that something unknown had happened to his boss in reality?
Even if that was the case, was he going to make such a long and difficult journey to kill them in the game? That sounded too unrealistic, right?
Kill Leader could not figure it out. But no matter what his boss instructed him to do, he would try to complete the mission to the best of his abilities according to his instructions!
“What did he do?” This sparked Lin Luoer’s curiosity.
Kill Leader shook his head and said, “Only when that guild shows up, then we can find out more about it.”
‘The Virtual Mask’: Magic properties, awakened at level one. Complementary partner to wear: All occupations. Required level: None. If players attempted soul engraving, this item would no longer be resellable or tradable!
Product description: After players have worn this, the higher the awakeness level of this item’s magical powers, the more powerful the magic powers would be. The rank of the level of awakeness would decrease after the player had died. If it was in the level one awakeness state, the player would immediately disappear after dying. If he was killed by a rival player, it would immediately explode!
Notification for levelling up awakeness: Players are required to offer 50 sets of Red Vessel gear, and 10 sets of Platinum gear to evolve to level two of awakeness state.
Magic Power: Allow players to turn into grey fog in a flash, diffusing and enveloping 40 meters of boundary. If the player was locked on as a target by an XP monster and a rival player, then the target locked state of the player would be removed immediately in an instant. It would also eliminate the hatred value of the XP monster no more than 10 levels above the player. The locked target host of the player would also be cleared. Amidst the grey fog, the host player would appear according to the distance of diffusing of the grey fog. It would appear in an instant at any spot within 40 meters of boundary. The effect of the player turning into a state of grey fog would last for 10 seconds, cooling down in 30 minutes.
The Magical gear in Heaven was considered special gear that was extremely rare and powerful. It would not take up space in the player’s personal gear board. Some Magical gear would produce an effect immediately upon being put into the player’s backpack. On the other hand, some Magical gear would have the same effect upon coming in contact with the parts of the player’s eyes.
With respect to certain aspects, magic powers and skills were much more powerful and incomparable. The capability of magic gear with high levels of awakeness were very abnormal. Some could cause the rival player to experience realistic hallucinogenic effects. Some could even attempt to scoop the moon from the well. It was extremely bizzare. At the same time, magical gear was also extremely precious.
The journey to level up the magical gear was an absolutely difficult one. The level of gear required for players to offer as sacrifice would increase as the journey got further. Theoretically speaking, any magical gear would be able to promote up to the highest level, which was level 9 of awakeness.
However if the player died halfway, the awakeness of all the magical gear owned by the player would automatically drop by one level. The number of levels the gear decreased by was equivalent to the number of times the player died. There was no leeway in this at all. Even if the players placed their magical gear in their personal depository, the magical gear which had the player’s soul engraved in it would immediately drop a level after the player died. When it reached the point where it could no longer drop any further, it would just disappear when the player got killed by an XP monster. It would also fall out instantly when the player got killed by the rival player.
Hence, those players who possessed the magical gear would very much cherish their lives. They would be very fearful of death. In the instance mission, they would never act hastily if they did not have one hundred percent certainty. They would only calmly watch as their teammates and team perished. It was even worse in the open field. That careful tendency was just like someone playing a game of life and death in reality.
And the cause of all of this was precisely because of the fact that levelling up for magical gear was difficult. When the magical gear was at a high level of awareness, they would even require sacred level gear as sacrifice…
This meant that every time a player died, one or even a few pieces of sacred level gear would pop out unconsciously…
What do you think? Would he fear death?!
In the early stages of the game in his past life, some players would still show off wantonly after they won a magical gear. The result was obvious: they would be forced to eat shit and have their a** exploded by those covetous players…
The final conclusion was, the magical gear was the only thing that could deter the indifference players felt toward dying in the game…
As long as players obtained the magical gear, their mentality would one hundred percent change. They’d have a huge fear of dying in this game!
Testing his luck, Chu You reached his hand into the big coffin and took out a mask. He glanced at the rest of the coffins. With no signs of reluctance, Chu You moved his body at once. Once again, he sprinted at high speed towards the route that he came from, as his blood level kept dropping non-stop like before.
Not long after, Chu You appeared outside the stone door. Once the negative effect had disappeared, Chu You immediately used the skill to return to his guild.
A flash of light appeared, and Chu You realized that he was in his own guild town. This immortal town above the clouds.
The most eye-catching building here was the guild’s divine skills tree that was lofty and full of vitality. It was located in the center of the district. As the level of the buildings increased, the divine tree would continue to grow.
Opening his backpack, Chu You took out The Magical Mask which he’d just obtained from the cemetery. He played with it for a while. His heart was utterly delighted.
Chu You was clearly aware of the magical changes of this mask. Because in his previous life, this thing was his!
As for his actions from earlier, it was simply just returning it to its rightful owner.
“Old friend, long time no see.” His hand lightly stroked the mask. Chu You spoke from the bottom of his heart. His eyes showed that he was recollecting past memories. As the memories were playing in his head, hatred appeared in his eyes when he reached a certain fragment of his memory. That was because, after he had upgraded his Virtual Mask to level 7 of state of awareness, he could no longer level it up any further. As there was this one time when a rival guild attacked his own guild town, Chu You got killed 3 times by Flying Sparrow Zhao. It then decreased to level 4 of awareness. He suffered very heavy losses. Hence, Chu You’s grudge towards Flying Sparrow Zhao was very deep.
After looking at it for a while, Chu You’s heart skipped a beat. He slowly put on the mask in his hands. At this moment, the voice of the system was heard.
System: Do you want to proceed with soul engraving with the Virtual Mask?
“Yes!”
Suddenly, laser lights actually shot out from both eyes of the patterned mask. They immediately shot into Chu You’s eyes after appearing. The whole process was not painful a single bit, nor was it piercing to the eyes. At this moment, Chu You let go with his hands. That mask that stopped mid-air automatically came to cover Chu You’s face.
When the mask was completely on Chu You’s face, the soul engraving was completed.
Chu You caressed his face with his hands. He shook his head after a while and looked at the Beauty Artisan House that was in the distance. Chu You decided to change the exterior look of his mask and hairstyle…
At the beginning stage of the game, the hairstyles of avatars were very ordinary. To be honest, they were really ugly. It really affected the mentality of many players. But Chu You did not feel anything. The reason why he chose to do this was because the mask resembled the face shape of a woman. It looked as if it was crying and smiling. With the addition of the seductive pattern, this…
This was a huge contrast to the slender and long avatar figure of Chu You’s avatar.
Why was there a woman’s face on this mask?
Chu You knew very well that it was because at level 6 of awakening, this mask would possess another magic. It would change players into the appearance of a young girl in a short period of time. Although the effect would only last for a very short period, it was enough to startle the universe and move the gods. This was because a special skill lay in this. These were the later parts of the story that had yet to arrive yet.
Not long after, Chu You walked into the Beauty Artisan House. There was not a single person inside, no NPCs. With a cool expression, Chu You selected this building. With just one glance, he bought the highest level of Beauty NPC straightaway!
A short while later, a few pretty female NPCs wearing celestial Taoist robes appeared. One of the female NPCs flashed a charming smile at Chu You and said, “I’m pleased to serve you.”
Chu You nodded his head and took off his mask. He sat in the chair straightaway. That female NPC immediately stood behind Chu You.
“Changing the hairstyle!”
“Alright, I have a lot of hairstyles here that complement your face shape. Please take a look first and see which one you like!” After the NPC finished speaking, an interface page appeared before Chu You. The avatars inside all had Chu You’s looks and features in the game. What was surprising was that the hairstyle on every avatar was different.
Chu You moved his mouth after only taking one glance and he said, “Silverish- white short hair!”
After hearing what Chu You had said, many sets of english passwords with all sorts of numbers flashed quickly across the NPC’s eyes. A group of data for the password was immediately finalized in her eyes. She then disappeared once again for a short while.
“The hairstyle that you want is totally achievable. Do you want to do it now?”
“Yes.”
“You will need to spend 2000 gold coins!”
After Chu You paid the required amount of gold coins, colorful rays of light immediately appeared from both hands of this pretty NPC. Then she placed them on Chu You’s head. In an instant, that section of Chu You’s hair was enveloped in the colorful lights. Ten seconds later, a hairstyle completely different from before had appeared.
Chu You looked at his reflection in the mirror. Then, he smiled lightly. The present Chu You had a head of silverish white hair.
He could not be this unbridled as much as he wanted in reality, but here…it was completely fine!
“Thank you! I’m very satisfied.” After he said that, Chu You stood up and walked towards another NPC. This NPC was in charge of changing the colors of the exterior of weapons and equipment outfits. Being a high grade NPC, along with the building being in the level 5 form, she also had the ability to change the exterior appearance of equipment.
Chu You spent 5000 gold coins to purchase a blueprint of a manufactured exterior. It made use of the pictured drawing in one’s brain to be mentally transmitted by the system and stamped on the blueprint.
Then Chu You took out his Magical Mask and passed it to her as he said, “Change its appearance!”
Changing the exterior meant that only the shape of it could be changed. The original flickering light effect of the exterior could not be changed. At the same time, it was even much more impossible to alter the exterior of the equipment to any type of organ. Anything that was perverted and violent was not allowed, not even a graze. The main computer was very powerful. Players could forget about having a fluke mentality!
The moment Chu You put on the mask that had already been changed, Chu You’s whole disposition changed again. With his white mask pairing together with his silverish white hair, he looked extremely mysterious and strange.
Just when he was done with all this, Kill Leader’s voice rang out at this moment.
“Boss, that…that guild has appeared!” Kill Leader’s tone was somewhat unstable, as though there was some quivering in his voice.
Kill Leader could not be blamed for this. The moment the ROD guild appeared on that guild ranking list, without any reason why, Kill Leader’s heart actually started beating faster. The guild that his boss had long been waiting for had finally appeared at this moment, and that guild was ranked second in the world.
What sort of sparks would be ignited between the first and second guild?
Kill Leader was really looking forward to it…because no one knew better than him how his boss regarded this guild…
Chu You coldly muttered an erm, as if his feelings were not affected.
Lastly, Chu You recorded a voice message for Lin Luoer.
“Luoer, come offline. It’s time for dinner!”
