Whose world-class drama are they criticizing?

Yuzu's eyes were vacant and lifeless.

For the first time, reason prevailed over her feelings for the little boy, Xingyu.

"Play? Why shouldn't I play?" The old man wasn't convinced; the comments were all laughing at him for being a coward. This spurred him on, and he felt compelled to prove himself. "Should I avoid his attacks?"

“...Keep running.” The legendary investigator said. His fingertips had clearly touched the blessing, and he was so close. Why should he give up?

Most importantly, the live stream was really popular.

The streamers suffered, but the viewers were entertained. Every time they died, the buzz increased.

Everyone's just here for the fun.

Of the four, Yuzu's live stream is the most popular, with over 10,000 viewers; while the investigator's live stream, which is relatively less popular, has 4,000 viewers, his highest number of viewers this week.

For traffic and for dreams, even stone must be red.

Welcome home, CEO.

The viewers in the live stream were even more excited when they saw that the streamers were going to go nude again.

The brilliant director found a classic song from the last century that perfectly matched the live broadcast. We listened to it on repeat. It truly is a timeless classic that resonated with so many people.

"The sleepy stars cannot stop my journey~"

"I'd rather endure loneliness for my long-held dream."

The players first trekked through mountains and rivers, fighting monsters all the way out of Sunset Forest, and the live stream chat was filled with comments like "I don't understand" and "Completely clueless"; when the players stepped onto the invisible bridge, the comments were again filled with comments like "Seems to understand" and "Looks thoughtful"; when the fire arrow hit their heads, the comments were filled with comments like "Now I understand" and "Suddenly realized".

"Three hundred and sixty-five li~"

"Passing through year after year."

"Three hundred and sixty-five li~"

"Through spring, summer, autumn and winter."

From their hometown to a foreign land, from youth to old age, the players have finally arrived at the Shadow Tower once again, at the end of their dreams, where the blessings they have received are right before their eyes.

"or...."

The old man softened, "Shall we take a detour, upgrade our gear, and find other keys?"

"It's definitely not a sign of weakness," the old man argued with the viewers in the chat. "This is called a strategic retreat; we'll deal with her later. This stupid game definitely won't expect us to have a strategy."

"...really."

The legendary investigator pointed to the map, "Let's go take a look at the back mountain."

Ryan listened to their conversation and smiled with satisfaction. "That's right, if we play it this way, the free cleaners will come!"

Chapter 51 Advancement

Ryan enjoyed the meal.

He took some time to grind monsters and run laps in the back mountain, had lunch, and when he looked back at the Shadow Tower, it was already filled with several layers of blessings. The overflowing light of blessings shot into the sky, so bright it almost blinded him.

The players ran through the map four times, clearing out the monsters four times.

The road from Dusk Forest to Light City is lined with wild beasts of low level, but there are just too many of them.

There were four players in total, and each of them spent six hours grinding. A simple multiplication and division by two gives you twelve hours of experience gained from grinding.

Meimei licks the bag.

In addition to grinding monsters for six hours, the blessing effect was combined, and I leveled up again.

This time, he added points to the Light Mage skill, raising the mage level to the second ring (lv10) to make it an even number, and chose to add points to Magic Power, so that he could cast Cancel one more time.

The character panel has changed again.

Ryan Lumin

[lv11→lv12]

【Radiant Paladin (lv1→lv2)】

[Magic Power 9 → Magic Power 10]

Strength 2.1 → 2.2 (Blacksmith Training)

[Stamina 1.1 → 1.2 (long-distance running training)]

【Charm 10】

[Long-distance runner (0.3)] [Blacksmith apprentice (0.2)]

Combat Skill List: [True Lu Ming Sword Technique (0.75)] [First Saint Slash (One Ring)]

Spells: [Divine Guidance (Second Ring), Dance of Light...]

His reason for prioritizing the Paladin upgrade this time is simple: every two levels up for a single class unlocks a new skill; in other words, an even-numbered level unlocks a new skill.

[Tracer Bullet (Level 1): Costs 1 mana, releases a dazzling light bullet that dispels all darkness]

This spell, as mentioned before, when combined with the Radiant Paladin's second-level combat skill [Radiant Slash], can completely blind the player.

However, Ryan is still far from becoming a second-ring paladin, so [Tracer Bullet] is on the shortlist for now.

The spell he chose this time is called [Radiant Fire].

【Radiant Fireball (First Ring): Costs 2 Mana, throws a circle of 'Radiant Fire', with a chance to burn away Azure Silver Eclipse-type curses】

The Blazing Fire, the flame of the yellow sun, is a curse that specifically targets the white sun, including the 'Withering Curse'.

Ryan knew he would have to face the Plague Monster sooner or later.

Leaving aside others, just take Viscount Kiri as an example. He will be consumed by the withering disease in a month and become the first boss in the early closed beta. This is an irreversible process that Ryan cannot stop.

【Chapter One】

[Blight Infestation Event]

In this event, if Ryan wants to kill him alone and take all the relics, he must be fully prepared.

We have a one-month grace period.

Ryan's school of light magic traces back to the ancient sun mages, and he possesses many fire-based spells, which is why he insists on being a light mage.

Outside of the Darklands, Light Mages are at best considered T2, but within the Darklands, Light Mages are definitely T0.

After making the choice, Ryan's vision went white. He felt as if the blazing sun was burning at the end of ancient times. For thousands of years, countless sun mages had knelt on the ground, their brilliant flames engulfing them. This was a memory from the common faith of mankind, a collection of the consciousness of all the casters of the [Radiant Fireball] throughout the ages.

Throughout history, the knowledge of all mages and sorcerers has formed a collective consciousness bank after their deaths.

By visualizing the collective consciousness of a certain technique, one can learn it.

This is the principle behind the Dharma Master's Dharma Tablet.

If in the future, Ryan creates a light magic spell that is recognized by the gods, it can be included in the mage's consciousness repository and he will receive a divine reward.

"The blazing sun scorches my body."

"The radiant sun shines upon my soul."

These are the memories of the earliest group of sun believers from prehistoric times, and they have been recorded in the collective consciousness database.

Praise the sun!

"The Primordial Sun is more powerful than the Azure Silver Sun."

This is the faith memory of sun believers in the early stages of the Age of No Light.

The birth of the Azure Silver Eclipse, and the Sun Knights seeking refuge from the primordial yellow sun, were also included.

"Ahhh, don't you guys think the yellow sun and the white sun are a really good match?"

"One rises in the east and sets in the west, the other rises in the west and sets in the east; one attacks and the other is a beast, forever chasing each other, yet never able to meet. Ahh, I'm totally obsessed! My lifelong favorite!"

This is the faith memory of modern sun believers.

By then, the kingdom had been prosperous for a thousand years. Some of the believers, who had nothing better to do, developed a new sun faith called the 'Sphere Imitation Order'. Due to their fanatical faith, they were also included in the collective consciousness database.

Damn it, don't pollute the collective consciousness!

Inspiration is stirred up, and consciousness is also polluted.

Having glimpsed an indescribable corner, Ryan suddenly awoke from his hallucination. He gasped for breath, a thin layer of cold sweat beading on his face. No wonder people who study magic these days are prone to going insane; the collective consciousness of mages contains all sorts of things, and one can easily witness something terrifying.

Fortunately, he has high magic resistance.

After surviving a near-death experience, Ryan raised his hand and felt warm, scorching flames coursing through his meridians. He then realized that he had learned the [Radiant Fire Technique].

After raising the mage's level to the second ring, Ryan temporarily ignored the mage and focused all his efforts on improving the [Radiant Paladin].

His plan for the next three months was to first acquire the level 4 [Radiant Dagger], then combine it with [Light Shield] to create a cancel loop and continue upgrading. Next, he would acquire the [Radiant Slash] after reaching the second ring.

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, took several deep breaths, and waited for my inspiration to gradually subside.

Ryan then stood up again and picked up the sword beside him.

Time waits for no one, so before it got dark, he decided to continue grinding monsters and leveling up in the back mountain.

Viscount Kiri is right; there are many wild beasts in the back mountain, some of which are infected with the withering disease. Ryan's solo monster-killing efficiency isn't high, but fortunately, the players have been lured to the back mountain, so he only needs to kill monsters and collect blessings as he goes.

"Damn, this stray dog ​​has syphilis in its mouth! This is a stupid game!"

"Quickly open!"

Even before he reached the foot of the mountain, Ryan could hear the profanities coming from the mountainside.

If a player can't beat the Shadow Tower, they can go to the back mountain to find the key and level up a bit while they're at it.

The beasts in the mountains behind Chuguang City are far superior to those in the Luo Forest. Not only do they have several times more health, but their attacks also carry syphilis.

[Cumulative number of cases of withering]

With each hit, a curse called the withering disease accumulates, and when the bar is full, death ensues.

"Ha, a mere sick stray dog, its strength is far inferior to Sister Melancholy and Brother Flower Willow."

Ryan's brow twitched slightly. The "flower willow brother" they were referring to was probably Kiri.

Kiri also operated in the back mountains and encountered the Dark Ones. He didn't want to fight them, but these lunatics would attack him whenever they saw him. They would say things like, "Damn, there's another one here." Kiri's attacks were fueled by accumulated withering disease, and he quickly took down the Dark Ones with a few swift strikes.

From then on, he earned the nickname "Brother Flower Willow".

She and Sister Melancholy are hailed as the top experts in Chuguang City.

"What's that? Hmm, looks like a sick bear. Let's just kill it."

As Ryan walked along the mountainside, he chuckled upon hearing this. He had already foreseen the outcome. You can't afford to mess with Flower Willow Bro and Melancholy Sister, and do you think you can mess with Big Bear?

I have to take a detour when I run.

He quickened his pace and soon reached the top of the mountain, where he saw the so-called sick bear, and the player started fighting with it.

【Blight Bear】

[lv9]

The bear was completely covered in withered plants, with several wounds all over its body from which dark green blood mixed with sap flowed, exposing red spores. Its eyes were red from its severe injuries, and it opened its chest, like a female warrior Makka Pakka in its arms. In the next instant, the latter was crushed into a biscuit.

It threw away the bear-shaped biscuit and turned its gaze to the trembling pomelo beside it.

As Ryan gazed at the bear, a brilliant flame flickered between his fingers.

He's here to steal kills.

This is the instinct of a PvP player with a red name.

The withered bear was already low on health and was fighting desperately. The most likely outcome was that it would perish together with the players. If that happened, he could still collect the withered bear's blessing, but the reward would be half as much.

Perfect timing, let's test out the newly acquired [Blazing Fireball].

He chanted the incantation for the blazing fireball in a low voice: "Ah, everyone, don't you feel the yellow sun..."

Damn it, that's not the idea.

Still reeling from the tainted inspiration, Ryan shook his head, glanced at the red spores on the back of the withered bear, and recited again:

"The blazing sun scorches my body."

"The radiant sun shines upon my soul."

"Praise the sun."
