Whose world-class drama are they criticizing?

Hello everyone, I am Metal Raindrop.

It will be available for purchase tomorrow at 12:30 PM, with five chapters released upon release!

After two years, Raindrops is finally back on the shelves.

Holy crap, it really has been two years?

I'll just briefly share my thoughts on launching the product and talk about my ideas. Readers who aren't interested can skip this.

Similar to "World Class" and "Opposition", both of them use the "protagonist's birth" as a selling point. However, there are indeed differences between Lao Lai and Lao An. An Su was born because he was born that way, so he can be considered a neutral party in the chaotic camp.

Lao Lai was born because he needed to become a newborn so that he could drive away the players. In essence, driving away the players was to protect Lu Ming, which could be considered a chaotic yet benevolent act.

This is the essential difference between their personas.

To give an analogy, Ansu is an old man, while Ryan is a rich man.

"For Lu Ming's sake, breathe on the Lightless Ones!"

In terms of writing difficulty, "The Prisoner" is actually more difficult to write than "The Elderly." And judging from the results of the two books, An Su's character is more marketable, so it's actually a bit of a thankless task.

But Raindrops seemed to enjoy writing it.

Some readers have commented that some chapters are poorly written while others are quite interesting, and there are reasons for that.

The former was written while slacking off at work, and the latter was written after playing games after get off work.

So you really have to play this game.

...

Now that we've finished our small talk, let's discuss the upcoming update plans.

It will be available for purchase tomorrow at 12:30 PM, with five chapters updated at once!

This is all of Raindrop's drafts.

Because I've run out of drafts, all updates will now be moved to the evenings. (Sad)

The previous book was indeed delayed, Raindrop won't deny it; mistakes must be punished.

However, it was indeed delayed before it was released. You could say that Yudian abandoned the project, but not as a money-grabbing one, because he really wrote 120,000 words for nothing and didn't make any money from everyone.

It's all Silk Song's fault.

But since this book is now available for purchase, the nature of the story is completely different. In that case, I have to write it to the end, which is the most basic moral principle of an author.

Please rest assured, I can guarantee that.

The DLC for Silksong will definitely not be made this year.

Next year is also uncertain.

Since Silk Song is even more prone to delays than Raindrop, you can question Raindrop's character, but you can't question the manufacturer's laziness!

...

Just kidding, see you tomorrow at 12:30 noon.

Chapter 72 Born with Brilliance (Please Subscribe!)

I'm an idiot.

Ryan thought to himself.

That was clearly the best time to escape, so why didn't you run away?

It's a win-win situation: no danger, and you can get the game's Bao Si. So why not run away? Why choose the worst and most difficult path?

Why did you want to kill Kiri?

He's just a nobody on the street, why should we care what he does?

Why not just let Kiri burn to the ground?

Ryan had originally planned to retreat, but he was shocked to discover that if he escaped this time, he might become a Forsaken Paladin, just like Kiri thirty years ago.

The oath of a paladin is idealistic.

If you have this thought deep in your heart, it will definitely come true.

Hey?

Are you kidding me?

Am I not a genius among sworn paladins?

Just because he casually agreed to kill Kiri with his own hands, he stopped running away?

Ryan was incredulous. Was my rice noodle soup not low enough? Wasn't I born into poverty?

Am I faking my death?

No, absolutely not.

Ryan immediately dismissed the idea. The only reason he stayed and killed Kiri was for the mission reward—for the [Azure Silver Ash].

[Lane Lumin defeats "Resurrected Flame" Kiri Blair]

[Reward Amount: 10 Azure Silver Spirit Gray]

【Azure Silver Ashes: The remnants of humanity, offering reverence and magic to the ashes. If a spirit responds, it can be temporarily commanded. Each person can only command one spirit.】

Ten portions of Azure Silver Spirit Ash solidified Ryan's beastly resolve, and his thoughts became clear.

In just a few seconds, Ryan's mind raced. Now that he had stepped into the City of Withered Disease and was facing the overwhelming force of the Withered Disease nobles, turning around and running away was more dangerous than fighting them head-on.

Fortunately, he was not unarmed.

Inserting the straw sword into the blazing fire was a quick and ingenious attempt by Ryan, inspired by Kiri; it was essentially a form of enchantment.

Because it can only burn curses and cannot be contained by mortal objects, Radiant Fire cannot enchant any weapon.

However, if the weapon itself is already cursed, then the Blazing Fire can cover it.

In addition, the Curse of Withering has the property of growing indefinitely, so as long as magic is injected into the spores on the hilt, it can continuously provide fuel for burning.

But Ryan knew this wasn't a panacea; once his magic was depleted, the straw sword would devour his flesh and even his soul.

After a quick calculation, Ryan estimated that his magic power could last for four minutes, but he definitely couldn't use it all; he had to leave some room to save his life.

Let's resolve this within three minutes.

Ryan pondered to himself.

You must not get hurt.

Once injured, even by the slightest scratch, the blight accumulation bar will swell rapidly, and once it's full, it will become infected.

You cannot use magic, or any combat techniques that consume mana.

Within three minutes, without taking any damage or losing any mana, I can speedrun through the Nobles of the Withered Land. This stupid plan is crazy enough just to think about.

But if he wasn't crazy, Ryan wouldn't be standing here.

They were clearly trying to escape, but somehow they ended up at the crystal entrance on the other side.

He's been insane for a long time!

In the blink of an eye, amidst the players' exclamations, the first withered noble had already pressed down in front of Ryan. Its body was long and slender like a centipede, and its countless wriggling limbs were all withered vine whips. With a sudden turn, the six vine whips lashed towards Ryan's head.

If you got hit by that, you'd definitely be whipped into a spinning top.

But it's okay.

Just bounce it off.

Come.

Just as he was about to be beheaded on the spot, Ryan drew his sword and charged forward, channeling magic into the straw sword. The withered disease and the blazing fire grew wildly. In just a moment, he flicked his sword six times, and six sparks burst open in the air. When the players looked again in the blink of an eye, the vine whip was completely engulfed in blazing fire.

"Hiss..." The withered noble cried out in pain as the blazing fire spread along the vine whip towards its body. It possessed a degree of intelligence and quickly severed the whip.

Each perfect parry leaves a spark on the enemy with the straw sword.

Similar to Lion's Blight accumulation bar, the Curse also has a Blazing Fire accumulation bar.

Once the accumulated fire bar is full, the curse will be ignited.

"Holy crap, was that a parry?"

"Ryan can parry too?"

"Six slashes in one second? Is this human?"

The players went wild, and the popularity of the live stream skyrocketed, breaking records one after another.

Strictly speaking, this is Ryan's first real attack in front of the players; killing Xiong Da in the back mountain earlier was just stealing monsters.

This was Ryan's debut.

Players could guess that Ryan was quite strong, but seeing that his level wasn't too high, and his stats were far inferior to Kiri and Melancholy, and that he seemed rather sickly, most people didn't take him seriously, since he was just a beginner's guide.

But when he actually made his move, he stunned everyone present.

Six slashes in one second?

How do you fight this kind of monster with this mechanic?

Ryan's subsequent performance made them incredibly relieved; thankfully, Ryan was a key player, not an enemy.

The withered nobleman recoiled in pain, and Ryan stepped forward, his straw sword trailing behind him, the blazing fire leaving a long, narrow tail. He began with the sixth move of Lu Ming's sword technique, the Vortex Slash.

Ryan had only one goal: to burn through the spores of the Blighted Nobles.

The monster roared, instinctively using its tail whip to protect the core spore, while the remaining vine whips lashed out at the straw sword in an attempt to intercept it.

But it's impossible to stop them.

That was the ultimate speed and slow blade, swallowing all the parries like a vortex. The blazing fire followed the tip of the sword as it traveled along the vines, finally striking the spores on its chest!

Blazing fire.

Ignite.

The flames that came from Simon's body, the flames that came from Kiri's soul, the flames that burned the Straw Knights, clung to Ryan's sword, tracing back through the long years, spanning a hundred years, and finally ignited on the Straw Ancestor.

Once the spore is penetrated, the accumulated value of the Blazing Fire is instantly filled.

Bathed in the blazing fire, the withered noble struggled upwards with countless twisted branches. The curse of withering, along with his body, turned to ashes. In his dying moments, the ancestor of the straw family saw clearly the sword piercing through his body—it was the straw sword, the sword of their family.

A century later, the straw sword is still burning.

[Lyan Lumin kills the Plaguebringer (lv20)]

[Blessing x1]

Ryan passed through his corpse and continued forward, the ashes transforming into a pure white blessing that enveloped the boy.

More withered nobles pressed down, their branches and limbs growing wildly and connecting together, looking from a distance like a rolling wave of withered disease.

But Ryan no longer thought of running away. He poured magic into the spores, and the blazing fire raged.

You stupid shit monsters.

My level of filth is above yours!

Ryan stepped onto the city wall, dragging his blazing flames as he charged towards the wave of withered disease!

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Countless vines engulfed him, each strike teetering on the brink of life and death; a slight misstep would mean certain death. Yet Ryan made no mistakes; his touch had returned, and he had entered a state of flow.

Ryan tumbled and rolled through the waves of disease, and with each bounce, tiny sparks of flame exploded from within, eventually coalescing into one that ignited upwards.

It was precisely during this brush with death that Lu Mingjian's progress finally broke through to 0.8.

One minute, one and a half minutes...

More and more nobles suffering from the disease were ignited, and more and more blessings were bestowed upon Ryan.

The straw sword burned with a brilliant fire, while the boy's body shone with light.

Born with light.

It seemed to be going smoothly, but Ryan knew the situation wasn't so optimistic.
