Chapter 20: Undercurrents (Part 2)

  The fifth-ranked killer on the top ten master list, Shi Po Tian, took a look at the rankings.

  "Dizzy! Boss, it's not that this first place is too overbearing. Besides Third Brother, there's actually someone who has pulled such a huge distance from me, the elegant and handsome, world's number one, universe's invincible Great General. Boss, it seems we're not going to make it this time." Sha Po Tian said with a smile to the Six-Winged War Dragon beside him.

  "There's so much nonsense, you're not listening even if I tell you to focus on leveling up. If it weren't for this task, you'd be at least level 11 by now." The Six-Winged War Dragon heard Sha Po Tian mention San Ge and became displeased.

  "Seriously, Trash Brother Three not only forced us to change our identities and stop using the Eagle King Five Brothers' name, but also left me with the task of upgrading and rushing the rankings. I'm really unlucky! What's even more unfortunate is that without Brother Three, who will help me upgrade and get extreme equipment?"

  Killing the sky originally wanted to continue, but seeing the six-winged war dragon change its face color, it quickly changed the subject and said: "Big brother, second brother and fourth brother have arrived, let's go pick them up quickly."

  "Alas, Third Brother, you're really too much. This time, you've made Meng Xue so heartbroken. It's been several months already, and you haven't even called once. Have you truly changed your mind?"

  Sha Po Tian's heart was not immune to some panic, he understood San Ge, San Ge definitely liked Meng Xue, but this situation still exceeded his expectations.

  The sixth-ranked Haotian quietly looked at the top ten master ranking list.

  "Master, the game has just started for a day, don't worry, we will catch up quickly." The dark soul beside Haotian said cautiously.

  The gloomy soul knew that his young master Huan Tian, although he didn't say anything and had no expression, but he knew that his young master was very unhappy, very upset, and extremely angry.

  "Hmph! To think I've fallen behind by so much, but it's no big deal. This doesn't count for anything. The real start will be a month later when the game opens up the exchange between real money and in-game gold."

  "Dark soul, arrange some people to enter 'King's Valley' immediately, and have someone gather information about the distribution and addresses of all BOSSes in 'King's Valley' for me. We must take action before others do."

  "Yes!" Young Master Haotian finally spoke up, and Yin Hun's lingering spirit was at ease, hastily going to arrange his subordinates.

  The eighth-ranked San Ye Kuang Fu looked at the ranking list and let out a light sigh.

  "Sunshine, have we really fallen behind? Are we really weaker than others? We didn't even make it into the top five."

  "Brother, this time 'King of Glory' has attracted players from all over the country. You and I have only played for a day, but we've already been completely drawn in by 'King of Glory'. Other players are the same way too. Moreover, Fengyun and Tianhuo both entered the game at the first opportunity, the competition is really fierce. But if we can make it into the top ten, that shows our strength is really not bad. You know, today there were 100 million players competing with us."

  Three-leaf sunshine is always very confident and calm no matter what time it is.

  "What's going on? Eagle King and his brothers aren't even in the rankings? With Old Three's skills, it's a no-brainer that he'd make it into the top five. He's always been an opponent we admire. And as for Eagle King and his brothers, I really miss them. It feels like whenever there's a game, they're always there." San Ye Kuang Fu couldn't help but think of Eagle King and his four brothers.

  Before entering the game, I specifically asked Eagle King's side and got some news. Eagle King's boss and third have some conflicts, Eagle King has been disbanded, and this time Eagle King's boss is just preparing to play games, not wanting to make a big deal. Three Leaf Sunshine said, stopped for a moment, thought about it and continued: "What a pity."

  "Is that so? What a pity, if they had come this time, we could have joined forces with them. With the Trident and the Eagle King combined, I estimate it wouldn't be much of a problem to dominate the game."

  "Yes, the Eagle King's strength is indeed very strong, and no one understands each other better than us. If they join hands with us, there will be no one who can trust each other more than us. In fact, the hostility and war between our two factions have brought us closer to each other."

  The ninth place in the top ten master ranking gave you a knife and looked at the ranking.

  "Tianhuo, Fengyun, San Ye and the three major forces have all arrived, and there are still many unknown forces and incoming forces. 'Wang Zhe' will occupy the gaming world and become the only game in China. But I want to make a name for myself, my strength is too weak, I need to find some help..."

  I thought I was quite capable, so I revealed my name to show off a bit and walk out of the dark life to become a strong and upright person.

  But he didn't expect to be the last one on the top ten master list, and actually became the bottom of the master list with that Violet - Zixuan's female player. Is it possible that he is not as good as a female player? This is his shame.

  Since that's the case, if one can't become famous throughout the world, then they should retreat into darkness. The enemies in the dark are the most fearsome ones. Perhaps hiding oneself and watching others fight, waiting for the right moment to strike with all one's might and suddenly become famous is the best strategy. Moreover, hiding in the dark is precisely one's specialty.

  I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of giving you a knife.

  At this time, in Novice Village, there were three special players who couldn't help but curse loudly when they saw the Top Ten Masters List.

  "Damn it, that trash player with the rabbit mask, I'm going to screw you. You ruined me so badly, otherwise with my level at that time plus the treasure map found in the newbie village, I would have definitely entered the top ten master leaderboard."

  "Don't worry, next time we meet him, we'll definitely kill him and delete his account. The Wind Cloud family will never forgive him, let him regret playing this game."

  "Hurry up and level up, the boss is calling us, don't make the boss angry."

  These three people are exactly the ones who robbed me of BB and were PKed by me, the three old tigers of Fengyun, can only use foul language to vent their frustration.

  "Ah, who's scolding me?"

  Someone is completely unaware of the trend of "King", which is exactly when the dark tide comes and surges.

  "Ding dong, congratulations player Shi Tou Cheng's level has risen, now at level 13. Life increased by 10, magic increased by 10, with 5 attribute points available for distribution."

  Continued to kill a few more level 15 black leopards, and the level was upgraded again. Strength and physique continued to increase in a 3:2 ratio, haha, abilities have been enhanced once more, becoming even more formidable.

  "Ding dong, congratulations player Shi Tou Cheng, obtained Black Panther Bone, gathering skill proficiency increased."

  "Ding dong, congratulations player Shi Tou Cheng, obtained black panther skin, gathering skill proficiency increased."

  "Ding dong, congratulations player Shi Tou Cheng, picked herbs, herbalism proficiency increased."

  "Ding dong, congratulations player Shi Tou Cheng, excavated bronze, mining skill proficiency increased."

  Black Leopard Bone: The bone of a black leopard, which can be used for medicinal purposes.

  Leopard skin: The fur of a leopard, which can be used for making clothes.

  Herbs: Simple herbs that can be used for medicine.

  Bronze: Low-grade ore, can be used for forging weapons and armor.

  All the way, in addition to leveling up by killing monsters, whenever there's an opportunity, I'll use auxiliary skills to gather some materials.

  In our intermediate mining, herbalism and advanced gathering skills, not only is the success rate of picking up materials 100%, but also all the materials picked are top-grade materials of the same level, with very good results.

  The materials in "King" are very precious, and later forging equipment and practicing medicine require a lot of materials. Forging good equipment and refining divine medicine requires high-level materials.

  Acquiring high-level materials requires high-level auxiliary skills, so take this opportunity to practice your auxiliary skills.

  "Material gathering" is collecting materials from a monster's corpse.

  "Digging technique" is used to dig out ore in the mine, except for some specific large mines in "King", which are specifically used for fixed-point mining. Small mines will also be randomly refreshed in various places, from which 1-2 pieces of ore can be obtained. After digging, the small mine disappears.

  "Herbalism" is the gathering of medicinal plants growing in the ground and extracting herbs from them.

  I came to the forest behind the small hill, next to a tall nanmu tree marked on the map as heading east, and passed through the formation sealing the entrance of the Black Stone Tower, advancing towards the Black Stone Tower.
