There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 557, "A mentally exhausted, stubbornly optimistic person."

Congratulations! Xiao Yang has finally officially shaken off his status as a seriously injured patient today.

They had all prepared themselves for the death stare.

But then it happened.

Although I was still being stared at, it was a different kind of gaze, one that was exceptionally complex.

Xiao Yang, whose inspiration was so high that he could easily see through most extraordinary essences, was somewhat bewildered when faced with such a complex gaze.

He scratched his head and let out that deliberately cheerful laugh.

"Ha, ha! I'm perfectly fine!"

Lena left behind a phrase that Xiao Yang often heard.

"My great hero."

………….

Now that the injury has healed, it's time to get back to work.

The transformation of the Scarlet Slayer is complete.

There is also justice and condolences.

However, offering condolences and righteous indignation is not very important.

More importantly, they need to prepare for promotion.

The Devourer of Evil Gods: Two Choices from Three.

After thinking it over, Xiao Yang decided to drop the first of the three-choice options.

However, Xiao Yang didn't plan to be too close to Hope City; it would be better to stay a bit further away.

There was a vague feeling about it.

"The commotion won't be small."

Having made his decision, Xiao Yang didn't hesitate any longer.

After leaving behind some of his belongings, Xiao Yang set off.

One of the most important ones.

"The core of the dungeon."

"That dungeon core plundered from the kingdom of the god of war."

This core cannot be used in the real world, so Xiao Yang gave it to the Goddess of Rest.

I still need to try and build a relationship with the goddess.

Xiao Yang harbored considerable resentment towards the fact that the goddess was standing guard for Lena.

Offering the dungeon core as a bribe is a form of bribery; it won't go to waste anyway, as it will either be used on those unruly villagers or in the City of Hope.

get ready.

We've set off.

Alone, he stepped out of the vast and bustling city of hope and into the wilderness outside the city, where the wildness had gradually faded.

With Xiao Gu by her side.

"Forward!"

I felt inexplicably excited, and unconsciously a sense of joy washed over me.

Xiao Yang didn't have a very precise plan for what to do next or where to go this time.

It seems like there's no clear goal.

It was all driven by that inexplicable impulse.

But it's strange, this kind of impulse.

In the context of Eastern lineages, such sudden inspirations serve as important guidance, often occurring before a breakthrough to a higher realm.

"Wander around the world, see the world, and prove your own path."

Of course, Xiao Yang's sudden impulse was actually somewhat different.

He doesn't actually need to prove his path.

"Climb upwards, and then become a god."

Perhaps even the climbing step can be eliminated.

This was never a choice he could make.

Take a step forward.

We walked through those endless golden wheat fields.

During this period of recuperation, the wheat seedlings, which were originally still green, have grown taller and bigger without us noticing, and have turned golden yellow.

Cars and horses occasionally pass by on the long, gravel road.

Xiao Gu appeared beside Xiao Yang without anyone noticing.

A black cloak concealed her body; her small stature allowed her to follow closely behind Xiao Yang.

"This will be a great adventure."

Before becoming a savior, Xiao Yang was first and foremost a great adventurer.

Okay, maybe we should temporarily remove the word "great".

Let's take a walk and have a look!

………….

The Wasteland. Currently the second large-scale realistic dungeon open to the public.

A second, unique world that can be touched.

Naturally, this place will attract many players.

In particular, as time went by, a second wave of players who received extraordinary feedback emerged.

Compared to the first batch of experts.

The second batch of players who received exceptional feedback started during the period when the game "Retreat" was widely tested.

Playing during low tide is not safe.

However, both the government and the public have an ambiguous attitude towards it.

An irreconcilable conflict lies before us.

"The game's version updates have always been linked to the expansion of the real world."

Each extraordinary recovery is propelled forward.

More spiritual people are emerging.

The allure of decaying lands.

The receding tide of games began to absorb these restless, newly awakened individuals.

More and more people are inevitably becoming gamers.

No one can stop this.

The direct consequence is...

More and more people are becoming aware of the existence of the ebb tide game.

Through the efforts of each and every player.

The goddess is gradually reviving.

Its authority and power are gradually returning.

Meanwhile, with the goddess's revival, the difficulty of the ebb tide game has actually decreased.

The death game is gradually becoming a thing of the past.

The main reason is the protection mechanism that was implemented in that new version update.

Players who die a few times in a row will be kicked out of the game and lose their eligibility.

This is why players have become increasingly audacious and reckless lately.

The goddess's revival, the revival of her authority, the merciful goddess, caused these beings to have fewer and fewer souls to be severed with each death.

So little that even if one loses the right to play the game, only a small part of their soul is missing.

Such an injury would make it difficult to achieve extraordinary progress, but it would no longer disrupt normal life.

I eat and sleep as usual every day, and it doesn't affect me at all.

Unless you actively provoke those evil gods and accept that dangerous contamination.

Otherwise, the mortality rate in the current ebb tide game is almost zero.

The positioning of the game "Ebb Tide" is quite strange now.

It has deviated from Xiao Yang's original intention.

What started as a dangerous game that discouraged players has become an essential choice for extraordinary enlightenment unique to the 33214 dimension.

But this is also something that cannot be helped.

The course of time and the development of things are never entirely in accordance with human wishes.

At first, Xiao Yang was planning to wander the heavens with his hometown, but things gradually changed.

This may happen as we witness the City of Hope's rise to prominence.

It may have happened after watching these messy fellows begin to make a name for themselves throughout the heavens.

correct.

Now, these players across the heavens have acquired new titles thanks to this war that has garnered attention from all sides.

"A manic, trashy pirate."

"A chaotic, wandering barbarian."

"Wasteland goblins in human skin."

Neither of these are good titles.

But it perfectly illustrates the things these guys rushed out of the way.
