28: Top Ten Super Players in Xia Country

“Ding!”

“Item – Skill Slot Expansion Crystal, Item – Skill Upgrade Stone, Item – Warrior Class Skill Book, Item – Spellcaster Class Skill Book. Please choose two items from the above four as your reward.”

Four choose two?

Li Si carefully read the system message and found that while the reward seemed to be four choices from two, it was actually two choices from two.

Because he had no choice, he was neither a warrior nor a mage, so he could only choose the first two items.

“Ding!”

“Are you sure you want to choose Item – Skill Slot Expansion Crystal and Item – Skill Upgrade Stone as your rewards?”

“Confirm.”

Li Si answered decisively, making his selection.

The next second, a brilliant purple light erupted, falling into his palm, forming two items.

Skill Slot Expansion Crystal.

Skill Upgrade Stone (Purple) * 100.

“.... :)”

Li Si was stunned.

Just now he was worrying about Skill Upgrade Stones, and now they had arrived; it was truly like being given a pillow when one was sleepy!

“Pop!”

The Expansion Crystal shattered in Li Si’s fingertips.

It transformed into energy and surged into his body.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations! You have received a reward – Skill Slot Count +1.”

“Current Skill Slots: 5/7.”

Afterward, he continued to open the skill interface.

He selected Ghostly Swift Steps and clicked the upgrade button.

“Ding!”

“Consuming 500,000 experience points, consuming Skill Upgrade Stone (Purple) x5, Ghostly Swift Steps has been upgraded to Lv6.”

Wisps of purple light rippled.

The attributes of Ghostly Swift Steps were rewritten.

Li Si immediately checked.

“Ghostly Swift Steps Lv6”

Quality: Purple

Active: Command a ghost to possess you, increasing movement speed by 22% for 10 seconds.

Conditions: 100 Mana consumption, 20-second cooldown.

Upgrade Requirement ①: 600,000 experience points.

Upgrade Requirement ②: Skill Upgrade Stone (Purple) x6.

Not much change.

Movement speed increase went from 20% to 22%.

It was barely acceptable.

Although he wasn't very satisfied, it was only 'although'. Because all interpretation rights belonged to the official game.

“Each level increases by 2%.”

“Upgrading to Lv10 would increase it by 10%.”

Calculated this way, it didn't seem low.

Immediately, Li Si left the Mysterious Ruins and logged out of the All Heavens Game on the spot.

It was already 4 AM. After getting up to pee, he lay directly on the bed and slept.

This time, he dreamed again. In his dream, endless fierce beasts appeared, billions of gods and demons descended, and various expert players perished within the AOE range of the gods, with Blue Star hanging by a thread.

“Hahahaha… Finally, it’s Li Si Grandfather’s turn to emerge, trampling fierce beasts and tearing apart gods…”

Just then, there was a loud bang.

The beautiful dream ended, and Li Si woke up. He checked the time; it was only 8 AM.

“Eh?”

Li Si was stunned for two seconds, then utterly shocked.

What was going on?

Why did he wake up? Normally, I sleep for 10 hours. Today I only slept for 4 hours.

He looked out the window, bewildered. No problem, judging by the height and angle of the sun, it was definitely 8 AM.

“Maybe I’m just getting old.”

Li Si scratched his crotch, got out of bed, went into the bathroom, then went downstairs and entered a breakfast shop.

At the next table sat three young people, wearing school uniforms, looking like high school students from nearby.

“Have you heard? Mingyue Village has a weirdo, his level stays at 1, but his strength is extremely abnormal.”

“Of course I’ve heard! His ID is Lawless Madman, he’s incredibly awesome. He took on dozens of people alone and massacred the Fengyun Heavy Cavalry.”

“Hiss… terrifying as such.”

“But I think Endless Corpse Hand is still more abnormal. He was the first to reach Lv10, the first to reach Lv20, and now he’s probably almost Lv25, right?”

“Endless Corpse Hand, unknown talent, suspected to be able to resurrect corpses, possesses a massive summoning army. Wherever he passes, no one survives.”

“Holy crap, where did you see that information?”

“The official forum! All Heavens Know-It-All released a super player ranking, and it’s currently stickied!”

“Holy crap, I gotta see that.”

Upon hearing this, the students all pulled out their phones to check.

Super player ranking?

Hearing this, Li Si took out his phone and opened the All Heavens Game forum. Sure enough, he saw a stickied post.

“[All Heavens Know-It-All]: In the three days since All Heavens Game launched, many super players have emerged. I have compiled information and evaluated the ten super players in the Xia Country War Zone. The ranking is not in any particular order of strength.

① All Heavens Know-It-All: Class – Mage, Talent – Information Collection. All Heavens Know-It-All, which is myself, can increase damage dealt by collecting information. Currently, I have collected 1.34 million pieces of information, increasing all damage dealt by 13.4%.

② Endless Corpse Hand: Class – Summoner, Talent – Unknown. Suspected to be able to resurrect corpses, possesses a massive summoning army. Wherever he passes, no one survives. Upgrades extremely fast, currently Lv24, two hours ago.

③ Evening: Class – Warrior, Talent – Unknown. Suspected to be equipment evolution, possesses a set of magnificent purple equipment with extremely abnormal attributes. He has no weaknesses and his combat power is comparable to a humanoid boss.

④ Shadow: Class – Assassin, Talent – Unknown. Suspected to have enhanced stealth. No one has ever seen Shadow’s true appearance; he comes and goes without a trace. His sin value is as high as 767 points, proving he has maliciously killed 767 players.

⑤ Wu Zui: Class – Knight, Talent – Vast Earth. Greatly increases Health, Defense, and Health Regeneration. Recovers a percentage of maximum Health when attacking. Possesses super strong survival ability, the most perfect tank to date.

⑥ Iced Explosion: Class – Archer, Talent – Extreme Brutality. Every arrow is a critical hit, damage is heaven-defying, movement speed is abnormal. Few monsters can withstand three arrows from Iced Explosion, excluding boss units. An extremely abnormal damage-dealer player.

⑦ Zero Fallen Mud: Class – Swordsman, Talent – Unknown. His movement is as ethereal as smoke, possessing extremely powerful evasion and ferociously unparalleled attack speed. Ten swords in an instant describes this person. As long as attack speed is fast enough, even minor scratches can kill a boss.

⑧ Meng Tainai: Class – Priest, Talent – Divine Retribution. The youngest super player, only 16 years old. Do not underestimate this super player because of her class and age. Otherwise, she will smash your dog head with her Priest scepter.

⑨ Zong Jiu Kuang Ge: Class – Mage, Talent – Unknown. Don’t be misled by her ID; Zong Jiu Kuang Ge is the only female among the super players. She excels in large-scale crowd control: freezing, paralyzing, stunning, knocking back…. As well as powerful abnormal damage: bleeding, poisoning, burning, etc.

⑩ Lawless Madman: Class – None, Talent – Unknown. The most special super player. His level seems to only be able to stay at Lv1, but his strength is formidable, possessing powerful damage reduction abilities and dazzling sword strikes with explosive damage. A particularly important point to note: don't let Lawless Madman's ID mislead you. In reality, his appearance is exceptionally refined, surpassing all popular male celebrities.”

“…..Awesome.”

Li Si slowly uttered two words.

He wasn't evaluating the top ten super players, but rather All Heavens Know-It-All. Putting everything else aside, being able to collect such detailed information proved Bai Xiaosheng lived up to his name.

Subsequently, Li Si continued to scroll down the post.

Post comment section:

1st Floor: Awesome, the OP actually revealed his own talent.

2nd Floor: So many big shots.

3rd Floor: Holy crap, Lawless Madman is so funny, he can never level up.

4th Floor: Don't laugh, he's super handsome. If you don't believe me, look downstairs.

5th Floor: Wow, I really want to see Kuangtu brother’s face.

6th Floor: How handsome is Kuangtu brother, that the OP would describe him like that? Heart, heart.

7th Floor: I want to hug Kuangtu brother, I want to have children for Kuangtu brother.

8th Floor: Bitch, don’t try to steal him from me! Look at your ugly face, do you even deserve him?

9th Floor: Bai Xiaosheng brother, can you post a picture of Kuangtu brother?

10th Floor: ……

The comment section of this post was only serious for three floors; after that, it went off-topic, conquered by numerous female players, all wanting to catch a glimpse of Li Si’s handsome face.

“…..Perverts.”

Li Si suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Who knew if the owners of these comments were male or female? Spouting nonsense while hiding behind female IDs, he himself had done it before.

Immediately after eating, Li Si quickly returned to his room and activated his wristband.

“Ding!”

“Lawless Madman, welcome back to All Heavens Game.”

“Swish!”

Light and shadow flickered.

Li Si’s figure appeared in the forest, at the entrance of the Mysterious Ruins.

“Ow!”

A wild beast, not knowing its place, pounced towards him.

-0!

The attack was weak and powerless.

Li Si’s health bar didn't budge. He raised his hand, drew his sword, and released a skill.

“Phantom Sword Dance!”

Sword energy raged and surged, instantly killing the wild beast.

“Ding!”

“Sharp counterattack, slaying a petty wild beast, Heaven Rewards Diligence, combat power increased.”

“Attack permanently +1.”

Not bad, not bad, it actually triggered the Limiter.

Li Si felt delighted inside as he checked his current attack power.

You’ve read this far, please add it to your bookshelf, I beg you, my handsome readers.
