25: The influence of the heavens on reality

“Whoosh!”

Within Mingyue Village’s resurrection point, white light flashed.

Fengyun Heavy Cavalry resurrected, his face ashen.

He glanced at his backpack.

The two treasure maps had dropped, just as described.

“Lawless Madman, I’ll curse your ancestors!”

He nearly ground his teeth to dust.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh….”

At this moment, the resurrection white light continued to flash, and Fengyun Little Knife and 20 archers successively resurrected, appearing within Mingyue Village’s resurrection point.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding players.

“How did so many people resurrect?”

“Could it be that they failed a group boss raid and were wiped out by the boss?”

“That’s Fengyun Heavy Cavalry!”

“Holy crap, Fengyun Heavy Cavalry, he’s a Lawless Outlaw!”

“Quick, look at the Treasure Map Leaderboard!”

“Fengyun Heavy Cavalry’s treasure map was taken by a mysterious player.”

“...Awesome!”

“This is definitely big news.”

“......”

Players spread the news of Fengyun Heavy Cavalry’s team wipe, one telling ten, ten telling a hundred.

In the wilderness.

Qian Miaomiao’s figure was like lightning, instantly killing the Level 15 monster in front of her.

“Silverlight Set…”

She murmured softly, marveling at the power of the Silverlight Set. Before wearing the Silverlight Set, she felt some pressure in a 1v1 against a Pointed Horn Rabbit, but after putting on the Silverlight Set, she instantly crushed it.

“My current stats should be similar to Fengyun Heavy Cavalry. Fengyun Heavy Cavalry has a purple profession, and I have the Silverlight Set. I just don’t know what the result would be against Lawless Madman.”

Just as Qian Miaomiao was marveling, Qian Duoduo’s message arrived.

“Holy crap, an astonishing situation, Lawless Outlaw is incredibly fierce, he slaughtered Fengyun Heavy Cavalry. Then he cut down Fengyun Heavy Cavalry’s entire group of subordinates like chopping vegetables, and now there’s only one player left with the ID Heavenly Sword Technique. Lawless Outlaw seems to know Heavenly Sword Technique, and the two of them are talking.”

Qian Miaomiao: “......”

Alright!

She had overthought it.

After seeing Qian Duoduo’s message, Qian Miaomiao once again realized Li Si’s power. However, she did not lose heart. All Heavens Game, since it’s a game, it’s not about the strength of individual players, but about the establishment of guild power.

Being temporarily weaker doesn’t mean being weaker forever. By making the guild prosper and pooling the guild’s resources to collect high-level skill books, high-level professions, and high-level equipment, Qian Miaomiao believed she could catch up later.

At the cliff face on the border of Mingyue Village.

Heavenly Sword Technique shivered: What does Lawless Outlaw mean by this? Killing everyone and only leaving him, is he going to take revenge on him?

“I don’t blame you for following Fengyun Heavy Cavalry to surround me for money. But the grievances of this moment must end with the complete wipeout of the Wind and Cloud Guild players,” Li Si said expressionlessly.

“......” Heavenly Sword Technique felt relieved upon hearing this. The Lawless Outlaw didn’t hold a grudge against him, which was the best possible outcome. Otherwise, with the Lawless Outlaw’s strength, he would have no choice but to delete his account and start over.

“Thank you.”

Heavenly Sword Technique showed a relieved smile.

Ding!

Killed 34 players.

Detected action as legitimate counterattack, this action will not increase sin value.

Heavenly Sword Technique’s body collapsed to the ground.

Li Si’s eyes also showed a smile.

Because the treasure maps in Fengyun Heavy Cavalry’s backpack had dropped and he had picked them up.

Sun Cave

Type: Map

Effect: Arrive at the designated location to open the entrance to the Sun Cave. Within the Sun Cave, the achievements of ancient people shooting down the sun are hidden.

Description: The second of Mingyue Village’s Ten Great Treasures, 9999th among the One Million Treasures of the 100,000 Novice Villages. Recommended entry level: Level 25.

Mysterious Ruins

Type: Map

Effect: Arrive at the designated location to open the entrance to the Mysterious Ruins. Within the Mysterious Ruins, treasures of Taoist and Buddhist sects are hidden.

Description: The seventh of Mingyue Village’s Ten Great Treasures, 713,400th among the One Million Treasures of the 100,000 Novice Villages. Recommended entry level: Level 18.

At this point, Li Si had 3 complete treasure maps in his backpack, and he also had half of the Bloody Terror Secret Realm and the Elf Secret Realm. Calculating this way, he alone possessed four of Mingyue Village’s Ten Great Treasures.

“First, I’ll help Qian Duoduo level up to 20.”

“Then I’ll enter the Mysterious Ruins, Sun Cave, and Seven Stars Mausoleum.”

Li Si decided on the entry order based on the treasure rankings.

Afterward, he began to tally the spoils dropped by the Wind and Cloud Guild players.

Five pieces of Level 10 white quality equipment.

“Sell them quickly.”

Li Si immediately opened the Mingyue Village Exchange, observed the prices, and listed them at 5% below the average price.

They were instantly snatched up by players as soon as they were listed.

Ding!

This fixed-price sale is complete. After deducting a 3% handling fee, the remaining 4b has been transferred to your character account. Current character account balance: b.

The value depreciated too much.

Three hours ago, Level 10 white equipment could still sell for around 600, but now it was only worth 450.

However, Li Si was happy to see this situation.

Because in his backpack, he currently had over a dozen pieces of Level 20 equipment, including 2 blue quality items. Level 10 equipment was about to be phased out, meaning his Level 20 equipment was about to make its debut. At that time, it would definitely sell for a premium.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to Level 20.”

Li Si smiled as he greeted Qian Duoduo.

The target location was the Level 20 area, Black Flame Valley.

Black Flame Valley was Mingyue Village’s highest-level leveling area.

At the same time, it was also the most likely place for Mingyue Village’s main quest to be triggered.

However, this was just Li Si’s guess.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Black Flame Valley.

Li Si’s stomach also began to protest.

“Grrr….”

He glanced at the time.

It was already midnight, so he was probably hungry. So, Li Si decided to log off and eat something.

After arranging a time with Qian Duoduo, a white light flashed, and their figures vanished from the spot.

Soon after, Li Si pushed open the door of “Here’s A Restaurant.”

Upon entering, he immediately called out, “The usual!”

The boss quickly greeted him with a smile: “Young man, you’ve come twice today, have you gotten rich recently?”

Li Si’s superior appearance left a deep impression on the boss, and because of this, the boss knew him quite well.

He knew Li Si was a Jinghai University student who rented a house nearby. He also knew that Li Si’s family was of average means, and he didn’t often eat out, usually eating at the school cafeteria or buying groceries to cook at home.

“Yeah, I made some money playing a game,” Li Si said with a smile.

He looked around the restaurant and found that besides himself, there were only two tables of customers. He then understood why the boss, who was usually as busy as a spinning top, had time to talk to him today.

It turned out the restaurant didn’t have many customers today.

This was within Li Si’s expectations. All Heavens was too much fun; people were all playing All Heavens at home, so who had time for night markets? Only he was so hungry he couldn’t stand it; otherwise, he would definitely still be fighting in Black Flame Valley at this moment.

“Is it All Heavens?”

The boss said with concern.

The sudden appearance of All Heavens had a huge impact on his restaurant. Instant noodles at nearby supermarkets were out of stock. At first, he was surprised, thinking some disaster was about to happen. But when he asked, he found out that 99% of the instant noodles were hoarded by All Heavens players.

“It’s All Heavens,” Li Si nodded and said.

“Ah, my daughter has also become obsessed with this game these past two days, getting more and more hooked. That’s why… she didn’t come to help at the shop today.” Although the current situation in the shop didn’t really require help, he could easily manage it alone and even had time to chat with the handsome young man.

Thinking this, the boss felt even worse.

He racked his brains but couldn’t figure out how his restaurant, which he had run for half his life, was heading for a decline because of a game. If things continued like this, his restaurant would face closure within a month.

This made him feel very frustrated.

Li Si saw the boss’s worry and then said: “Don’t worry, All Heavens has just come out, so players are naturally hooked. It will get better after a while. After the initial excitement, people will slowly calm down and return to their usual rhythm of life.”

“I hope so.”

The boss felt much better after hearing Li Si’s explanation.

After chatting for a while, the boss finally smiled, waved his hand, and gave Li Si a free meal.

“Li Si, you’re so much to my liking. Someday, I’ll introduce my daughter to you. She’s also a student at Jinghai University.”

After a period of casual conversation, Li Si also learned the boss’s name, Lin Tianhao, a grand and imposing name.

Upon hearing Lin Tianhao wanted to introduce his daughter, Li Si felt a bit timid instead.

Although Lin Miaomiao was incredibly powerful, she always wore a frosty expression, as if everyone owed her a million. Li Si felt like he had the desire but not the courage, so he decisively refused Lin Tianhao.

“Introducing your daughter can wait, I still prefer chatting with Uncle Lin.”
