Strengthen the body

salvation gained three hundred million new players in one go.

These three hundred million were no ordinary players.

They were all genuine young adults.

Most were in the fifteen to forty age range.

They were the first to join the game... or rather, the first who *wanted* to join the game!

They had been 'cloud players' online for over half a month!

These people quickly picked up the game.

And none of their chosen professions conflicted with their talents.

Among the first batch of players, perhaps more were 'poisoned' by the Little Red Fruit.

They thought a Mage should cast a Light spell, then rush in to hack people with a large blade.

Mages with magic talents chose physical professions, while those with physical talents insisted on choosing healers!

Healers with healing talents wanting to play rogues were everywhere... At the time, they thought this was individuality, this was the trend!

Men played games purely for fun!

But as time passed, and as Blue Star underwent its changes, these 'individualistic' players stopped laughing!

They couldn't laugh anymore!

They wanted to delete their accounts and restart!

Sorry, salvation doesn't offer that service!

These players, who originally might have had boundless futures, were all ruined by their profession choices after random talent assignments!

There were such players in Star Palace too!

But it didn't matter if the goods didn't match the description; they could negotiate their treatment based on their gray talents!

After all, even gold farming groups needed these cogs!

It's not possible for an entire guild and logistics team to consist only of high-level professions!

Yang Jian had been in the Dragon Tomb dream for a full two days.

During these two days, his level hadn't budged!

At first, no one paid attention.

But as time passed, speculation about Yang Jian's situation gradually increased.

After all, he was now arguably the most famous person on Blue Star.

His every move affected the hearts of billions... "Speaking of which, Tian Mu Zhenjun hasn't leveled up in a long time! Does anyone know what's going on with him?"

"The people at Star Palace aren't worried, so why are you?"

"Just curious! I'm not his friend, so I can't check his status. He's always online, but he's not leveling up..."

"I'm curious what the big shot is doing too!"

...Not only ordinary players were curious, but even high-ranking officials were!

"Little Hu, you're game friends with Yang Jian. Do you know what he's doing?"

Hu Mingwei smiled bitterly and shook his head.

They were friends, true, but the other party basically didn't care about Star Palace's affairs, only focused on improving his strength!

It was hard for him to even talk to the other party!

"Checking his status, he's always online, but it shows he's in a special map. I don't know what he's doing!"

Fifth Elder nodded.

"Many people online suspect this person is a reborn individual... Although that theory is a bit unscientific! But at this point, too many unscientific things have happened! We still need to keep up with him..."

Fifth Elder's words were to the point.

The official side!

They couldn't openly cling to his coattails!

Didn't the official side, as the leader of the Four Great Nations, have any pride?

As for the title of 'leader of the Four Great Nations'... it wasn't important!

Anyway, all Four Great Nations thought they were the leader of the Four Great Nations!

Hu Mingwei nodded!

Old Hu felt bitter, but he couldn't say anything.

He felt that among the entire Liekong Society, his job was the most difficult... For example, Linhai, as a first-tier coastal city.

He was afraid that Star Palace would really withdraw from Linhai, spending Liekong Society's money to buy an entire commercial park and give it to Lingyun Studio...

A nearly 100,000 square meter industrial park, with complete surrounding facilities.

Now it all belonged to Yang Jian; could they really abandon such a large foundation?

It just so happened that Star Palace was allocated 100,000 game slots.

Looking at their personnel composition, they couldn't just withdraw whenever they wanted anymore... Seven to eight thousand players and residents from around Linhai!

They would fully demonstrate to the Star Palace higher-ups what it meant to be caught in the currents of the world, unable to act freely!

Although it cost a lot of money, fortunately, the higher-ups understood his painstaking efforts!

But it couldn't stop Old Hu from feeling mentally exhausted.

To think that he, a dignified third-rank official, now lived like a sycophant... "Also, how is that young lady from the Long family, the suspected reborn one?"

"The Long family members who entered salvation are now divided into two parts..."

Hu Mingwei had long memorized this type of information!

"Long Ruoling took some of her peers and siblings to sign up for Star Palace, specifically the Yun Province branch! It seems she wants to achieve success in the periphery and has teamed up with Mo Suqing!"

"Long Ruohai, the fourth-ranked grandchild of the Long family, took the family's four thousand-plus slots and joined the official team!"

"Four thousand-plus?"

"Oh, some they signed up for themselves, and some slots were bought from other factions..."

"Hedging their bets, not surprising! Let them be..."

With that, Fifth Elder said no more, waiting for Hu Mingwei to get to the point.

"The information the Long family provided... which they claimed was 'some stories about salvation that a junior dreamed about,' we've verified it, and so far, it's all true!"

"So far?"

"Our people can only reach monster areas up to level thirty at most, but in Long Ruoling's 'dream,' the highest-level Zhou Yue is already eighty! We can't verify beyond that!"

"Keep a close eye on it!"

"Should we specially recruit Long Ruoling into the Liekong Society?"

"Don't underestimate her; she's nominally the Seventh Princess of the Great Xia Empire, after all!"

Hu Mingwei: ...

It was unexpected for Yang Jian that he couldn't kill all these Abyssal Monsters after staying here for two days.

He had originally thought it would take about a day!

When he came in, he only brought 20 pieces of equipment for himself to devour!

Later, thinking he'd grit his teeth and persevere, he started taking off his own equipment to devour.

Finally, with no other choice, he devoured the 4 sixteen-slot backpacks he had!

Anyway, these Abyssal Monsters here didn't drop anything...

So by now, Yang Jian was completely at his wit's end!

There were over three hundred Abyssal Monsters in the Dragon Tomb in total.

After Yang Jian killed more than 170 of them.

The rest all grouped up.

Not only did they group up, but they didn't pursue, nor were they curious.

They firmly refused to give Yang Jian a chance to defeat them one by one!

He looked at his attribute panel.

[Abyssal Essence: 14365 points]

Among the slain Abyssal Monsters:

95 elite-level creatures of level 30 provided 2850 points of Abyssal Essence.

123 elite-level creatures of level 35 provided 4305 points of Abyssal Essence.

103 elite-level creatures of level 35 provided 7210 points of Abyssal Essence.

Now, the remaining creatures in the field were all 35-level elite Abyssal Monsters huddled together for warmth.

Yang Jian tried several times but couldn't continue to defeat them one by one.

These several encounters with the Abyssal Monsters.

Allowed Yang Jian to see both the power of the Abyssal Monsters and their cunning and intelligence!

However, in Yang Jian's view, they had already entered a death countdown!

Once their strength was surpassed by him, it would be difficult for them to catch up again...

He checked another major gain from this Abyssal Monster extermination.

[heart of khaz'goroth (Blue)]

[Necklace]

[All Attributes +100]

[Authority: Specified Acquisition (Cooldown: 24 hours)]

[Authority: Trans-dimensional Teleportation (The authority of a Titan God, now wielded by you)]

[Authority: Forging Mastery (As the God of Forging in his lifetime, mastering the laws of forging, this little authority is child's play!)]

[Abyssal Essence required for upgrade: 23118 / 100000]

[Note: A fragment of the godhead left behind when Khaz'goroth, the Titan who controlled the laws of artifact creation, self-destructed. It contains a large amount of forging laws!]

The blue titan heart had changed dramatically!

The name changed, authorities increased, and even the upgrade requirements changed... [Name: heart of khaz'goroth]

[Description: As an old Titan, Khaz'goroth, who had long become a Middle God, forged many artifacts for the gods. He was feared by the Abyss and ambushed, but no rescue came! Enraged, he self-destructed, and his godhead, carrying the laws, disappeared...]

[Remark: Devour it, and you will become the next blacksmith in the God Realm...]

Yang Jian: Just look at this guy's fate.

Unless he was made of iron!

Otherwise, strength was still paramount!

He would deal with the remaining Abyssal Monsters all at once when he became a bit stronger.

He swaggered back to the city with his Hearthstone!

Yang Jian didn't take the other party seriously at all.

After all, he was hoping a few stubborn ones would rush out and interrupt his casting!

With a flash of white light, Yang Jian reappeared at the guild stronghold.

Upon discovering Yang Jian had appeared in the city.

Bai Youyou quickly found him.

She could barely recognize him when they met.

The guild leader who was fully armed, even wearing his helmet squarely, just a few days ago...

"Were you robbed, or did you just come back from a labor camp?"

"Don't even ask! Not only did they not provide food or drink inside, there wasn't even a mailbox!"

Yang Jian complained a bit, then asked her curiously.

"Why aren't you leveling up? Why did you come to find me?"

"I didn't specifically come to find you. I came back to wait for the guild to upgrade. In an hour or so at most, the guild will be level two! The other two disappeared like ghosts! So I had to come back!"

Yang Jian reached out and held Bai Youyou's fair and delicate hand.

"You've worked hard! Indeed, you are the one I trust the most!"

Bai Youyou's previously annoyed expression immediately softened.

"Really?"

"Of course! Look! As soon as you arrived, I immediately handed over all guild authority to you!"

Bai Youyou thought about it, no problem!

"The de facto Vice Guild Leader of Star Palace! Think about it, what caliber of people can even speak to you now!"

Bai Youyou thought of Hu Mingwei!

And then thought of how she casually badmouthed the Tianfu Hu Group two days ago!

Their family immediately faced various sanctions... Now that she thought about it, it all started when she gained the power to speak for Star Palace.

"Don't work too hard! I see you haven't logged off for many days again! Why don't you log off and rest?"

Looking at Bai Youyou's tender expression, Yang Jian refused to log off.

"How could I feel tired when I'm with you!"

The two snuggled together, leaning against the headboard of the bed in Room 1 of the guild stronghold.

It was a pity that the character's underwear couldn't be taken off now...

After comforting the 'irritable auntie,' Yang Jian logged off to undergo physical enhancement.

After logging off.

Yang Jian felt a pure energy appear out of thin air, rapidly transforming and strengthening his body.

He quickly lay back down on his bed.

Yang Jian felt his strength constantly being enhanced.

After fighting continuously for more than ten days, his mind finally relaxed.

Coupled with the enhancement of pure soul energy.

Yang Jian quickly drifted off to sleep!

When he woke up again, it was already bright outside!

"Damn, I slept for another six or seven hours? That's a loss of a hundred million!"

Yang Jian cautiously lifted the quilt... Huh?

Lifted the quilt?

It was probably Zhou Yue or Bai Youyou who covered him.

Yang Jian didn't dwell on such minor details.

He had originally thought that his overall improvement might cause significant damage.

However, Yang Jian found that he had excellent control over his body.

But the enhancement was thorough!

What?

You ask how Yang Jian knew?

His thermos could testify.

The thermos he bought for a thousand yuan was directly crushed into a useless metal ball during his experiment!

Log on, log on, let's see my system evaluation first!

[Physical Enhancement Progress: 33.63%]

Yang Jian frowned, looking at the data in front of him, a bit bewildered.

How did this data come about?

When in doubt, open the Heavenly Eye... [Name: Yang Jian]

[Description: A body transformed by Abyssal Essence, already possessing one-third of Tianmu Zhenjun's strength in the world of salvation! Keep up the good work; you'll become a god eventually!]

[Remark: A character's strength is composed of attributes, health, magic points, attack, and defense!]

[Note 2: One point of elemental essence equals one point of attribute, or ten points of health, magic points, attack, and defense!]

When Yang Jian saw this, his brows furrowed into a frown!

Is this reasonable?

Is this f***ing reasonable?
