Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Not long after, Xue Luo Qian Nian emerged from the second level of the Ild Ruins and approached Lin Han Chuan with gratitude in her expression.

She could kill even Emperor-level figures who blocked her way.

But without Lin Hanchuan's crucial strategy, she wouldn't have been able to kill so easily.

Lin Hanchuan, who was lurking in the public chat channel of the Ild Ruins, glanced at Xue Luo Qiannian beside him, smiled and nodded slightly, then continued to focus his attention on the chat channel.

The second level of the Ild Ruins is not too difficult overall, and most players who enter the Ild Ruins can complete it.

However, the premise is not to be greedy, only kill King-level obstacles, and not actively challenge Emperor-level or King-level enemies.

But if you're not greedy, are you even a player?

So now the chat channel is filled with cries of despair.

"Holy crap, I'm done for! I can't beat the Emperor-level roadblock at all! His fleshy clones are like bombs, they explode as soon as you touch them. I'm already low on health, and I'm probably going to be kicked out of the Ild Ruins."

"Help me! I don't want to fight a royal-level obstacle by myself anymore."

"System, I was wrong! Please give me a chance to start over!"

"The difficulty of the Emperor-level roadblock has increased several levels. Although I have a strategy guide from the mysterious expert, I really can't beat it."

"It's over! We're really going to be stopped at the second level. I really shouldn't have been so greedy for killing the Emperor-level roadblock in the first place."

"Brothers, by the time you see this message, I will be gone."

……

Although players who can enter the Ild Ruins are all top performers in the third job advancement, they can still be further divided into multiple levels.

Most players actually lack the combat power to solo a level 70 Emperor-level obstacle.

They are now taking responsibility for their past choices.

Players will be displayed as online in the public chat channel as long as they are in the Ild Ruins.

The number of online players is decreasing rapidly, from 400 at the start of the second level of the Ild Ruins to nearly 300.

This means that at this moment, a large number of players in the second level of the Ild Ruins are being eliminated.

Most of the time, it's caused by greed.

Those who had initially chosen to challenge only the King-level obstacle looked relieved as they saw the players who were being tormented by the Royal-level obstacle in the second stage.

They had previously worried that these players who challenged the Emperor-level obstacle would easily secure the kill, have a good meal, and surpass them.

With this mindset, many of them regretted not persisting and continuing to challenge the Emperor level.

But looking at it now.

So cool!

"Luckily, I wasn't so reckless back then, directly challenging the Emperor-level obstacle."

Looking back, I realize that my initial choice was correct.

"They have no ability but are still so greedy, they really deserve it."

"The second level of the Ild Ruins is essentially a test of a player's greed. Any greed that is not commensurate with their strength will be ruthlessly eliminated."

"There are only 300 people left in the Ild Ruins, and the number is still decreasing. It is estimated that several dozen more will be eliminated."

"Hearing the wails of these greedy dogs, I felt a strange sense of satisfaction."

At this moment, the joyful noise around Lin Hanchuan contrasted sharply with the wailing and despairing messages in the chat channel.

Lin Hanchuan wasn't particularly affected by this; he was simply watching the spectacle with a detached, amused attitude.

After all, in the Ild Ruins, there are no more than a handful of players who can directly compete with him in the end, and he certainly won't be eliminated in the second stage.

As time goes by.

Players gradually began to emerge from the second level of the Ild Ruins.

"Ding! Please note that the time limit for clearing the second level of the Ild Ruins has expired. Players currently still in the level will be eliminated."

A system announcement suddenly sounded.

The second stage of the Ild Ruins has officially ended. The number of online players in the public chat channel has dropped sharply by more than thirty, finally settling at 203. This means that 197 people were eliminated in the second stage alone, nearly double the number in the first stage, with the vast majority dying from greed.

"Ding! Please note that the second stage of the Ild Ruins has ended. The leaderboard for the second stage has been opened, and rewards will be distributed according to the rankings."

Lin Hanchuan quickly exited the public chat channel and checked the rankings.

The ranking list for the first level has finally been updated.

[Ilde Ruins Points Ranking]

First Place

ID: Mysterious Person
Points: 6070]

The second level is a single-player level, and you can get a maximum of 4500 points.

Besides Lin Hanchuan, who obtained the maximum of 4500 points in the second stage, five other people also obtained them.

Second place

IID: Snow falls for a thousand years

Points: 4620]

Third place

ID: Night Watchman
Points: 4580]

[Fourth place...]

……

Sixth place -

ID: God of Olympus

Points: 4500]

This time, Lin Hanchuan didn't just casually glance at the list; instead, he carefully read through the rankings of the top thirty.

To be honest, the leaderboard for the first level of the Ild Ruins is not very convincing, because there was no major battle at that time.

Lin Hanchuan also took a shortcut and directly won first place.

Many other "experts" who had just entered the Ild Ruins were still in a state of observation, trying to discern the true combat strength of others.

The second level is different.

One-on-one battle against the King-level roadblock boss!

We really need to demonstrate our true strength.

There's no shortcut to it.

Therefore, in Lin Hanchuan's view, the updated Ild Ruins points ranking after the second stage was almost equivalent to the Ild Ruins combat power ranking.

The top ten performed very well.

They all managed to kill the Emperor-level roadblocks.

However, something might happen on the way from the stone path to the meadow that prolongs their journey and results in a reduction in their final score.

At this moment, Xue Luo Qian Nian's attention was not on the list, but rather she was looking around with her big eyes.

She was searching for traces of the Childe family's glory.

"The honor of the Childe family cannot be eliminated." Xue Luoqian's gaze finally fell on the palace standing in front of the grass, and she pondered to herself.

"It seems that, just as the mysterious man said, the glory of the Childe family is hiding in that palace, secretly watching us..."

The system notification sound for the reward rang in the minds of every player present.

Lin Hanchuan received a selective reward.

"Ding! Congratulations! After completing the second level of the Ild Ruins, you ranked first in the points ranking and have received a reward from the Storm God Ild—please choose one of the following three rewards:"
1. One [Storm Scroll] (Click to view details)!
2. A full set of level 70 Storm-grade armor (click to view details)!

3. 10 points of free attributes, 2 points of random hidden attributes. (End of Chapter)
