Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

The sky suddenly darkened, as if a giant curtain had fallen.

A blinding bolt of lightning tore through the sky, accompanied by deafening thunder, and actually ripped a twisted rift in the void.

A magnificent golden door opened in the middle of the crack, and a figure stepped out calmly.

The Childe family's glory hung high in the sky, overlooking the densely packed players below, a wicked smile playing on their lips.

So many people came.

He is very satisfied!

All the groundwork I laid before was worthwhile.

Lin Hanchuan looked at the Glory of the Childe family in mid-air. This kind of flamboyant entrance could probably only be pulled off by Long Xiaochen, besides the Glory of the Childe family.

The high-profile entrance instantly attracted the attention of all the players present.

"Holy crap! That bastard finally showed up. I thought he was going to stand us up."

"As expected of the biggest whale in Golden City, this kind of entrance must have cost tens of thousands of gold coins. Probably only he can afford it!"

"Damn it, it's one thing to not have money outside the game, but in the game we also have to watch these whales show off their skills."

"We've waited so long, and it's finally here. The ruins were almost open before we arrived. They really have a long wait."

"The glory of the Childe family—what exactly do you want to do to unlock this ruin?"

"..."

Everyone looked up at the Childe family's glory in the sky, and the noise was deafening.

The Glory of the Childe family, like a protagonist, announced loudly under the gaze of thousands: "Everyone! Please be patient. There is less than an hour before the ruins open. Please be prepared. I will open the entrance to the ruins on time and lead you all into the ruins together."

The noise intensified as soon as the words were spoken.

Many people were looking up at the sky, loudly inquiring about the glory of the Childe family.

"The glory of the Childe family... I'd like to ask, are only players below the fourth class advancement allowed to enter the ruins?"

What are the requirements for entering the ruins? Are there any occupational restrictions?

How many players can enter after the ruins are opened?

Are there really divine skills hidden in the ruins?

"Who left behind the glory and relics of the Childe family?"

"..."

Before the ruins were opened, all sorts of rumors were flying around. Although much of the information seemed plausible, none of it was 100% certain.

It needs the glory of the Childe family to prove it.

A host of questions arose, and everyone was waiting for the Childe family's glory to personally explain these issues concerning the ruins.

Instead of answering their questions immediately, the Childe family's honor used a ranged detection skill to roughly check the basic level information of the players below.

In addition to players below the fourth job advancement level, there were also many players who had reached the fifth or even sixth job advancement level.

With so many players who don't meet the requirements, it's no wonder they're so eager to ask about the entry requirements for the ruins.

For some reason, a wind suddenly rose in the sky, causing the bright red cloak that the Childe family's honor was specially wearing to flutter loudly. He raised his head slightly and spoke.

"Since everyone is so concerned, I'll briefly explain what I know about the rules for entering the ruins."

"First, all participants must be at least at the fourth job advancement level, regardless of class, city, or even region, provided that players from other regions can come! Also, those who are at the fourth job advancement level or above can leave now."

"Second, the maximum number of players allowed to enter the ruins is five hundred. If the number exceeds this limit, only the top five hundred players in terms of combat power can enter."

"Thirdly, as for whether the ruins were left by the gods..." The Glory of the Childe family shrugged, keeping everyone in suspense, "I don't know either!"

"That's all the information I have. I hope it will be helpful to you brothers on your upcoming journey through the ruins."

Lin Hanchuan looked at the glory of the Childe family.

This guy didn't provide any information about the impending battles within the ruins, so it seems quite a few people are going to become cannon fodder.

The scene instantly erupted in excitement.

First were the players at level four and above, their faces ashen. Although they had heard before that only players below level four could enter, they had come here on their own initiative, hoping to try their luck.

However, it's not as hopeless as it seems.

Since we can't get in, let's wait for players below the fourth job advancement to come out. Once we know who has the good stuff, we can just grab it.

Murder and robbery.

However, this is the most common plot in online games.

Most of the players who met the level requirements didn't look too happy; there was actually a limit to the number of players allowed.

Only 500 people can enter.

Moreover, he was among the top 500 in combat power below the fourth rank on the spot.

Everyone opened their personal panels to check their combat power, their eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, using detection skills to check the levels and Undead of the players around them, and estimating their approximate ranking on the scene.

There were also players who remained calm, Lin Hanchuan being one of them. Before entering the eighth district, he was considered one of the strongest players below the fourth job advancement in the ninth district.

After entering the eighth district, I had a feast at the Golden Hall Restaurant, gaining a lot of attribute points and skills, which further enhanced my overall combat power.

If nothing unexpected happens.

I'm confident I can make it into the top three. After all, many people there have legendary equipment and items, and some, backed by top-tier forces, might even have holy-level weapons and equipment.

Lin Hanchuan's assessment of himself as being in the top three was also a sign of humility.

At the same time, Lin Hanchuan could hear the murmurs of many people, some relieved, some regretful.

"Damn it, I'm just here to make up the numbers. My combat power is definitely outside the top 600 here."

"I feel a bit uncertain about making it into the top 500."

"Apart from those few young masters and ladies who have the backing of a guild and enjoy top-notch resources, I don't think anyone else would dare to say they are 100% confident."

While someone was using a detection skill to scan the information of surrounding players and assess their own ranking, they unexpectedly saw Lin Hanchuan's ID.

"Holy crap, the mysterious person is here!"

All eyes quickly focused on Lin Hanchuan, their gazes filled with surprise and curiosity.

It consumes 50 million gold coins at once.

This is the richest of the rich.

In terms of reputation, Lin Hanchuan is no less famous than the Glory of the Childe family in Golden City, and many people even believe that Lin Hanchuan is richer than the Glory of the Childe family.

With increasing attention on him, more and more voices about him reached Lin Hanchuan's ears.

"This mysterious man is quite handsome! Even more handsome than the rumors suggest."

"Where does he rank in terms of combat strength on site?"

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a problem. At least getting into the ruins shouldn't be an issue."

"Rich people don't care about these things. They can just grind for combat power and stuff."

"I have a feeling that the mysterious person is going to cause a huge disturbance in the ruins."

"..."

Lin Hanchuan, who was already used to this kind of scene, remained unusually calm. After returning their gazes, he had a faint smile on his lips.

Rosell, standing to the side, introduced Lin Hanchuan to those who were watching him and suggested who might be his formidable rivals in the ruins.

"That's Rosa, the son of the Golden Lion Guild's guild leader. He's a level 69 warrior, and with the Golden Lion Guild, the strongest guild, he can choose from all the best resources in the entire Golden City."

Lin Hanchuan followed Rosell's gaze.

In the crowd not far away, a man dressed in a golden battle suit and holding a golden sword was looking at him.

His eyes held a sharp edge.

Russell continued.

“The one standing next to Rosa is Earl Norton. ‘Earl Norton’ is his ID, not that he has an earldom title. It is said that he has a nine-star hidden profession, and his brother is the strongest in the entire Golden City.”

Lin Hanchuan nodded.

Looking at the man, the other party's attitude was much better; he smiled and nodded in response to Lin Hanchuan's gaze.

Russell's introduction continued.

"See that female player I'm pointing to? She's the best friend of the captain of the number one ranked team in Eternal Night City, Starry Sky Greatsword, Snowfall for a Thousand Years."

Lin Hanchuan looked over.

In the crowd on the right, a woman wearing a white gauze dress, with diamond armlets sparkling on her fair arms, and her long silver-white hair half-tied up with a delicate snowflake hair clip.

Her overall look, like her ID, is like a pure white snowflake, completely out of place with her surroundings.

However, apart from seeing her ID on the list provided by Brother Octopus, Lin Hanchuan had no impression of her at all.

I had never heard of this person in my previous life.

"Besides her powerful background, Xue Luo Qian Nian is also incredibly strong. Players from Yong Ye City say she has defeated many fourth-tier players, so she definitely has the ability to enter the ruins."

Xue Luo Qiannian was also looking at Lin Hanchuan at this moment.

Lin Hanchuan nodded slightly, exchanged glances with the other party, and then, following Rosell's introduction, looked at the player that the Glory of the Child family feared most, the guy with two Saint-grade gourmet recipes.

"He is the Undying Dragon! He is a level 69 Illusionist, an elder of the Dragon Nest in Tianyun City, and the guild leader is his older brother, Fantasy Dragon, who is currently ranked second on the overall power ranking in the eighth district."

"A level 69 illusionist could absolutely take on any player of the same level present in a one-on-one fight without any problem."

The Undying Dragon, standing over two meters tall, resembled a giant among the crowd, its pale blue eyes fixed on Lin Hanchuan.

Lin Hanchuan nodded slightly, making a mental note of the other person.

At the same time, it was noticed that there were seven or eight players at the fifth or sixth level standing around the Undying Dragon, creating a small vacuum area around him.

"But this guy is a bit arrogant."

Russell didn't need to say it.

Lin Hanchuan had already witnessed the arrogance of the Undying Dragon.

He actually made a throat-slitting motion on himself.

interesting!
Lin Hanchuan chuckled and nodded at him.

Ding! Congratulations, you're about to become a regular on the death list! (End of Chapter)
