The Demon King is unfathomable

Chapter 307 B test updated!
The dim light penetrated the turbid atmosphere, making the barren land look like a rotting corpse.

In the distance, a huge gaseous planet hung in the sky, like a turbid eye, staring coldly at the desolate world beneath its feet.

This is the "nameless wasteland" of the planet Kao.

And right in this dead silent desert, a bloody and brutal battle is taking place!

"Hold on, Niutou! Huwan, go and take out the leader on the opposite side!"

"Roger that!"

"Pighead! Cover me!"

"Ouch!"

"Don't be naked! Come on!"

"Ouch! Ouch!!!!"

The roaring [Pig-Headed Knight] brandished a large butcher knife and a tail wrapped with blades, and rushed forward on the corpse of the Kao War Beast, moving around freely like the "Desert Butcher Renekton", cutting down the monsters that pounced on him like grass.

Not far in front of him, the [Tauren Warrior] was holding up a heavy metal shield, gritting his teeth and struggling to hold on.

Facing the surging Kao war beast, this skeleton body wearing tattered chain mail was like a small boat in the waves!
However, even though it was difficult to support, he still gathered all his strength to hold on, using war roars to attract the attention of the strange-looking Kao beasts, while waving his dagger to chop down the rushing Kao beasts.

"Old Ye! How long will it take you over there!?" Seeing that the pig-headed man could not be relied upon, he shouted towards the sand dunes not far away.

Yiyezhiqiu did not answer.

He was holding high a jewel-encrusted two-handed staff, reciting obscure spells with full concentration, while the gravel beneath his feet was trembling slightly with the surging magic power.

Just as the spell was completed, he suddenly opened his slightly closed eyes and pointed the magic wand in his hand towards the side of the [Tauren Warrior].

That's where the monsters are most densely populated!
"Fission Explosion Bomb——!"

A huge fireball appeared out of nowhere, and fell into the middle of the beasts like a meteor. Thick smoke and heat waves spread instantly, and then split into dozens of burning rockets in the turbid air!
The split rockets were like solid fluid, burning the Kao beasts and piercing through their twisted armor.

Screeching, roaring, and the crackling sounds of burning flesh and bones mixed together, and the entire battlefield suddenly seemed like hell that had descended on the earth!
A hole was torn open in the raging herd of khao beasts.

[Tauren Warrior] felt the pressure suddenly reduced, and seized the opportunity to charge forward with his shield, knocking all the surrounding khao beasts away!

[Pig-Headed Knight] finally remembered that he had a teammate on the battlefield, so he immediately turned around and killed his way back. The butcher knife in his hand chopped down a large number of khal beasts like a whirlwind.

At this time, staring gloomily at the defeated beast tide, the three-meter-tall General Kao quickly locked his gaze on the skeleton that released the sea of ​​fire.

However, just as he raised the sword in his hand and was about to attack, a dagger silently pierced his chest!

"Click——"

The warrior Kao lowered his head in astonishment, and then let out an angry and shrill howl!

He swung the twisted greatsword and slashed behind him, trying to cut off the rat that was attacking him, but Hu Wan dodged it with a nimble backward jump.

"rest in peace."

That's a dagger coated with cursed oil!
After making this understated declaration, Hu Wan retreated back into the shadows and disappeared in the chaotic battlefield.

At the same time, black ripples spread along the wound on the chest of the khal warrior, like a skinny hand tearing his chest, pulling the black breath out of his chest.

"Roar--!"

He roared with unwillingness and reached out to cover the wound.

However, at the same time, a fireball as big as a basin hit the back of his head and instantly exploded into sparks all over the sky!

"boom--!"

The shock wave of the explosion instantly engulfed his body, and several pieces of red-hot armor flew out from the smoke and landed next to the helmet that was emitting a slight heat.

Seeing their leader killed in battle, the Kao war beasts did not flee like the Ankylosaur soldiers. Instead, they were aroused to ferocity and pounced even more frantically on the skeleton sword and shield soldiers closest to them.

however--

Their madness not only failed to reverse the defeat, but instead accelerated their death.

The [Tauren Warrior] calmly raised his giant shield for defense, and cooperated with the [Pig-Headed Knight] who was wielding the butcher knife to harvest. Soon, the only twenty or so Chaos War Beasts left were also turned into corpses, becoming part of this wild planet...

The battle is coming to an end.

In less than half an hour, more than 300 charred corpses were piled on the ground, some were still twitching, and some had been burned to ashes.

The dust rolled in blood and fire, and everything fell silent.

"Almost three hundred..." He carried the butcher knife on his shoulder, grinned, and said proudly, "We broke the record again!"

The Tauren warrior opened the attribute panel, took a look, then sighed and said.

"It's just that the experience gained is getting less and less."

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu walked over from not far away.

"After all, as the level increases, it is inevitable that the upgrade speed will decrease. If you want to gain more experience, you may have to explore deeper into the map."

There are vast unexplored areas deep in the nameless wasteland. In some of these places, there are not only Kao people and Kao war beasts roaming around, but also many strange and bizarre beasts that cannot be named.

This planet seems to be born for war, with never a shortage of fighting and death.

Shaking off the blood on the dagger, Hu Wan also made a teasing remark.

"Be content. At least if you don't have enough experience, you can make up for it with volume. If you change to another map, it may take half an hour to run the map and one minute to kill monsters. It may not be as fast as this."

The old cow chuckled shyly and touched his skull with his skeleton hand that was covered in blood fat and minced meat.

"I know, that's all I said..."

Compared to other players, their upgrade speed is already very fast.

The gameplay of this game is not limited to upgrading. There are all kinds of hangmen, some are gang bosses in the underground streets of Thunder City, and some run hot pot restaurants in Magic City...

Come to think of it, this game, which is still in the closed beta stage, has quite rich content.

It would be nice to update the succubus someday.

Perhaps it was because of the saying "birds of a feather flock together", the Tauren warrior suddenly found that he had unknowingly become as despicable as his good brother the Pig-headed Man.

However, not everyone is like this.

At least the other two roll kings in the team only care about levels and experience, and have no interest in succubi, imps, elves, female knights...

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu was collecting materials from Kaomon on the battlefield with a dagger in his hand, when he suddenly discovered a living creature with its eyes closed, waiting for an opportunity to move.

This happens occasionally.

Although the vast majority of Kao's war beasts are war puppets that only know how to kill, in rare cases they may develop independent consciousness.

If it is allowed to develop further, it will probably become an elite monster similar to Kao Warlord.

However, it no longer has this chance.

Looking at the guy who was waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, Yiye Zhiqiu poked the staff in his hand downwards, and the sharp end instantly pierced through the former's head.

"Boom-"

Brain splatter.

Just as he pulled the staff out of the corpse, a familiar semi-transparent pop-up window suddenly appeared in front of him.

【Ding--】

[Congratulations, your level has been raised to LV50! ]

As the prompt sounded, he suddenly felt that the long-accumulated power in his body finally broke through some invisible barrier, as if something was opened up.

Level fifty!
finally reached!

Looking at the upgrade prompt that finally appeared in front of him, Yiye Zhiqiu couldn't help but feel ecstatic for a moment, but it was also followed by a sense of relief and a hint of melancholy.

He put in a lot of effort to reach level 50.

If it were any other game, I would have graduated long ago if I had invested so much time in it!
It's not easy!
【

ID: One Leaf Knows Autumn

Race: Skeleton

Soul level: Steel (level cap LV50)

Level: LV.50
Constitution: 25
Power: 16
Agility: 12
Intelligence: 47 (+1)

Spirit: 46 (+2)

】

After looking at the updated attribute panel, Yiye Zhiqiu quietly felt the surging power filling his body and the barrier that restrained his soul from continuing to sublimate upward.

What fascinates him most about this game is not just its authenticity, but more importantly its "not so real" aspects.

For example, the feeling of extraordinary power filling the whole body -

All the gravity from reality can no longer bind him. He is becoming a part of the "rules", even the rules themselves!

This feeling is absolutely impossible to experience in the real world!

No matter how rich or powerful you are.

"What's wrong with you, Old Ye?" Seeing Yi Ye Zhi Qiu suddenly standing still, the Minotaur warrior shouted at him.

Yiye Zhiqiu withdrew his gaze from the attribute panel and calmed himself down.

"I upgraded."

There was a brief silence in the air.

In an instant, three exclamations rang out almost at the same time!
Minotaur Warrior: “What the hell?!”

Hu Wan: “66666!”

Pig-Headed Knight: "Awesome! She's finally born!"

"...You just gave birth." Yi Ye Zhi Qiu, unable to hold it in any longer, complained.

The pig-headed man chuckled and continued.

"I want to level up, damn... you guys are leveling up so fast! I didn't expect that the first max-level boss in the server would be born here!"

Shortly after Yiye Zhiqiu announced his upgrade, a server-wide announcement popped up from the player system in front of him.

[Congratulations to the player "一叶知秋" for becoming the first player to reach the maximum level on the Natural Disaster OL server! Let's give him a round of applause! (Fireworks) (Fireworks)]

That is a blessing from the dog planner——

I think Brother Longxing must have fainted in the toilet from crying.

Looking at the brothers who were genuinely happy for him, Yi Ye Zhi Qiu felt a little embarrassed for a moment and said, touching the bridge of his nose.

"Low profile... We're only level 50. According to the NPC grading standards, there's at least a hundred levels above us, and we've just left the Novice Village."

Above the fine steel there is silver.

He couldn't wait to experience stronger supernatural powers, but unfortunately the line on the attribute panel (maximum LV50) restricted his ambition.

Perhaps in order to take care of the players who got the test qualification later, the operator of "Disaster OL" has always kept the level cap very strict.

Hu Wan looked at Yi Ye Zhi Qiu and asked.

"What's next? What are your plans?"

"Well... I haven't really thought about it. I thought the operator would open up higher-level permissions before I reached the maximum level, but I didn't expect them to focus on expanding the depth and gameplay of the game," Yiye Zhiqiu pondered for a moment and continued, "Anyway, I'll help you reach the maximum level first, then make some equipment... and then wait for the update?"

You can still gain experience points when the level is full, until the experience bar is also filled.

This way, the next time the update is made, he can directly become level 51 and become a silver-level expert. Hu Wan nodded.

"Okay, thanks. I'm only one level away...it shouldn't take too long to reach the maximum level."

"You're welcome," Yi Ye Zhi Qiu smiled faintly and continued, "Didn't we agree when we first joined forces that the one who upgraded first would lead the one who upgraded later?"

Hu Wan was stunned for a moment, and said with a helpless smile.

"That was so long ago... Do you still remember?"

"That is required."

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu smiled and patted his shoulder, then looked around and said.

"We've been online for almost eight hours. Let's take a break, have a meal, take a shower, etc... Ox-head, Pig-head, how about you?"

The minotaur warrior grinned and stuck his shield into the ground.

"We can all do it! It's up to you to arrange it."

The Pig-Headed Knight also nodded vigorously.

"That's right! I don't even need to eat!"

Yiye Zhiqiu coughed.

"You still have to eat..."

The four of them agreed on a time to go online, then cleaned up the battlefield, picked up usable loot and materials, and then walked towards an inconspicuous small mark on the map.

That was the temporary base they had built half a month ago - a hidden cave. The entire camp was built according to the terrain, with rough warning traps made of rubble and animal bones on the periphery, as well as the explosive fire magic trap that Ye Zhiqiu had just learned.

As they entered the cave, a slightly damp breath hit them in the face, melting the bloody smell on their bodies that had been dried by the wind and sand.

In the corner were the makeshift beds they had built and stone boxes for storage, and next to the fire were some skeletons left over from last night's barbecue.

Skeletons do not need to eat, but Lizardmen characters do.

In the corner of the cave, Pighead's reply was still buried very realistically.

After finding a clean place to sit down, Yiye Zhiqiu finally said hello to his teammates.

"See you later."

"See you!"

He nodded, called up the player system interface, and selected the offline button.

With a flash of light and shadow, the weight of the VR glasses reappeared on the bridge of the nose.

Although his body had been lying at home from beginning to end and had never left, he had a sense of time and space confusion as if he had traveled back in time.

With a long sigh, Yiye Zhiqiu took off his VR glasses and sat up from the bed.

There is a soft mattress under me, the low hum of the air conditioner is in my ears, and in front of me is a bedroom with simple but tidy decoration.

Light gray walls, beige curtains, a wooden desk with a few half-opened magazines and a laptop on standby.

He looked around quietly, and it took him a while to completely break away from the depressing atmosphere of the planet Kao that was filled with the breath of death.

There was a subtle sense of disharmony in the body in the real world.

He looked at himself in the mirror. Although he was not thin and the annual gym membership was not bought in vain, compared with the skeleton mage in the game who could throw fireballs and jump more than ten meters, his body still seemed too fragile.

It was as if he had fallen from a god to a mortal.

Ye Zhiqiu rubbed his slightly sore shoulders, walked barefoot to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Tap the mouse with your fingertips to wake up the screen, and the familiar official website interface immediately comes into view——

[Official website of Natural Disaster Online].

Sure enough, the forum section has exploded.

Lines of hot posts with small flames dominated the homepage.

"Fuck! Is there a script?! I have been grinding non-stop and only reached level 30, how come the password is maxed out?! TT"

"I'm so depressed. What does level 50 mean? Can anyone who knows about it explain it to me?"

"Please help me! Will you team up with Master Yiyezhiqiu? I can be a pendant! QAQ"

"I strongly suspect it was an insider..."

Posts of various styles flooded the screen one after another, ranging from worship, envy, jealousy to sour questioning.

Yiyezhiqiu just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

However, in the spirit of sharing happiness with others, he still typed a line of title on the posting interface:

[Level 50 Skeleton Mage Upgrade Experience and Comments]

This is not to show off, but just to share the game experience with newbies——

He continued in the body of the article.

[Thanks for the invitation. I am at level 50 and feel good.

Thanks for the compliment from all of you brothers. Actually, the steel level is nothing. Above it, there are higher levels such as silver, gold, platinum, diamond, etc. waiting for everyone... At most, I can be considered to have just passed the novice period.

There are many ways to play "Natural Disaster Online", not just the upgrade. But if there are players who are as keen on combat professional gameplay as I am, I hope my experience can provide you with some inspiration.

My personal feeling is that if you want to upgrade quickly, you still have to find a way from the planet Kao.

The gameplay of Os Planet (let's call it that) is too diverse, and it is more suitable for free exploration, enjoying an immersive adventure experience, and obtaining contribution points. Unlike Kao Planet, you only need to fight on the battlefield to please the gods there.

However, on the contrary, the contribution value and ghost money income will be relatively small, and the materials for killing monsters will continue to depreciate due to the large output, so it may be more economical.

My only suggestion to magic players is to prepare more mana-restoring potions. Compared with the fancy potions sold in NPC shops, potions that guarantee endurance are the only gods, and DPS equals experience!
That’s all my thoughts for now. There is no special skill required to level up. It all depends on great effort, tacit teamwork, and good logistics.

By the way, let’s look forward to the official website opening higher levels as soon as possible!

During this period of time, I will study how to make equipment, and I will share the results here when I have them.

I wish you all a smooth leveling! 】

The content is brief and the attitude is humble and natural.

Yiye Zhiqiu was very satisfied with the post. He nodded in appreciation, hit the Enter key, then got up and went to the kitchen to make something to eat.

A level 50 expert shared his personal experience, and his post was instantly flooded with hundreds of replies, and most of them were asking for PY trades.

People tend to be rather shameless when they are online, and this is no exception for players of "Disaster OL".

You don’t even need to look at the posts they post, you can tell from their IDs——

The Devil Owes Me 100 Million: "Brother! Are you missing a pendant on your leg?!"

Forced to move into the cemetery: "Tell me secretly, are you an official? I promise not to tell anyone!"

Childlike giant: "Big brother! Look at me! I'm good at my job!"

I am Li Dad: "I'd like to use this building to advertise! The front row sells small blue medicine bottles. The 'Great Power Makes Miracles' guild will protect your endurance!"

"..."

Two slices of bread, a glass of milk, lunch is done!

Following the sound of the microwave oven beeping, Ye Zhiqiu returned to the computer with the plate in his hand, and discovered that the post had reached more than 600 floors.

Browsing the content of the posts and the unfamiliar IDs, he couldn't help but let out a heartfelt sigh.

"The popularity of this game has also risen..."

Although the number of players worldwide is less than 7,000 so far, the number of cloud players has grown exponentially with the release of various promotional PVs.

However, this open beta test is still a long way off, and it is difficult to get a closed beta test qualification.

Ye Zhiqiu was feeling somewhat regretful when a special push notification suddenly popped up in the upper right corner of the forum:

【Ding--】

["Natural Disaster OL" B.0.1 version update announcement released! 】

B test?!

Damn it! ! !

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, then quickly clicked on the push, fearing that he would be a second late.

Jumping to the official website homepage, I saw the eye-catching announcement title hanging at the top!

【B.0.1 version update announcement! 】

The announcement was brief, but the content was explosive enough——

[Dear closed beta players and supporters waiting for the public beta, thank you for your support and companionship of "Catastrophe OL" in the past year!
In this fantasy world that has not yet been fully revealed, you have written your own legends with courage and wisdom, and also brought us countless valuable feedback and suggestions!

It is because of your exploration and hard work that our world can continue to grow, improve, and move towards a broader future!
A huge thank you to everyone who is still fighting in the Necropolis camp!

In order to respond to everyone's expectations and prepare for the upcoming new stage, we will officially push the b.0.1 version update today.

This update will bring important content adjustments and new challenges to all closed beta players!
update content:

1. Level cap breakthrough and rank system opened!
Players who reach the current maximum level (level 50) will unlock the qualification to further upgrade their soul rank.

As the soul rank increases, players will gain a higher power limit, unlock more skills, and be able to participate in main quests that influence the future direction of the game world!

Requirements for rank promotion: 1. Achieve designated camp contributions. 2. Complete rank trials.

Regarding trials: Gold-level trials are issued by platinum-level demons, platinum-level trials are issued by diamond-level demons, and so on! And the demigod-level will be assessed by the Demon King himself!

Each trial will test the player's limits. Failure will come with a severe price, and you will not be able to challenge again in a short period of time!
(Note: The content of the trial depends on the stage of the main storyline. It is not only a test of strength, but also a challenge to the mind and character. The goal is only to select the truly strong! It is recommended to do it according to your ability!)
2. Closed beta qualification expansion and faction influence mechanism are launched!

The influence share of the current camp [Graveyard]: 0.01%.

Every time a certain amount of influence share is increased, a corresponding number of new player places will be unlocked!
Ways to increase influence include but are not limited to conquering forces, expanding temples, etc. You can get huge contribution points as rewards for expanding the faith territory of the cemetery! There are more ways for players to explore on their own!
Special note: Faction influence will directly affect whether new players can join the Necropolis faction, and will also affect the development direction of the world line.

3. Invitation and guarantee system!

Want to bring your best friends into the game? Now 100,000 contribution points can be exchanged for a closed beta qualification!
(Note 1: The invitation system is parallel to the random distribution system, and the ratio will be adjusted dynamically with the progress of the game and the number of reservations. The account functions are exactly the same as those of ordinary closed beta players, with only an additional title of "The Chosen One" and a "The Chosen One Helmet" for the ceremony.)
(Note 2: The contribution points obtained by the invitee within 180 days will give the inviter a 10% rebate. However, if the invitee is disqualified from the closed beta test due to major violations within 180 days, the inviter as the guarantor will have all the rewards deducted and receive a contribution point penalty!)

——From the development team of "Natural Disaster OL"! 】

One hundred thousand contribution points is almost the amount of contribution required to advance from bronze to steel, and it is not difficult to obtain for players above level 30.

After reading the content of the B01 announcement, Ye Zhiqiu held his breath instantly.

If those guys who are clamoring for a million to buy a closed beta account on the forum are not talking nonsense, the contribution points in their account alone are worth 10 million RMB!

Considering that he can get back at least 180 contribution points by bringing the other party to level within days, the actual value of the more than one million contribution points in his hand may be even higher!
The respected planner has provided these old players with a monetization channel as a reward for their time and effort in the A test.

certainly--

Ye Zhiqiu won’t sell it.

At least not now.

It's not just because of the guarantee system that runs parallel to the invitation system, but also because he has to use these contribution points to complete the upgrade to silver level!
He will become even stronger!
Ye Zhiqiu's Adam's apple moved, he closed the announcement and quickly glanced at the forum.

Not surprisingly——

The popularity of his advancement to level 50 has been completely covered by the popularity of the B test update.

After realizing that the contribution points gained from helping the Demon King expand his territory were so valuable, the animals on the forum were completely excited!
