44: Token, Wang Shidao's back-up plan

Haha…

This feeling is incredibly refreshing!

Watching his stats increase, Li Si was overflowing with a sense of accomplishment; he couldn't describe how exhilarating it felt.

Time passed, and he arrived at Wild Dog Plains.

“Buzz!!”

A dazzling purple light entered Fengyun Heavy Cavalry’s eyes.

“It’s still here!!”

Fengyun Heavy Cavalry was overjoyed.

At the same time, Li Si naturally also saw the purple sword on the ground.

He immediately opened the Great Teleportation Technique.

After a moment’s thought, he closed the skill interface again. This was because Great Teleportation Technique required a four-second chanting guide, and Divine Power Instant Kill was active every second, so he couldn't complete the guide.

“Then I’ll rely on movement speed.”

Li Si was very confident in his speed.

Even if he was dozens of meters behind Fengyun Heavy Cavalry, he was confident he could catch up within three seconds.

So, Li Si directly cast Flash, covering twenty meters in an instant, then activated Ghostly Swift Steps, chasing like a residual sunset arrow.

“Whoosh!”

A figure flickered.

Li Si easily surpassed Fengyun Heavy Cavalry. At this point, Fengyun Heavy Cavalry was still over 80 meters away from the purple sword.

There was plenty of time.

“Holy crap!!”

Fengyun Heavy Cavalry was stunned.

What the hell!!

Someone had surpassed him and was heading towards the purple sword.

He focused his gaze and saw that the person who surpassed him was Li Si, and he immediately broke down.

“Lawless Outlaw, I’ll f*ck your mother!!”

“Stop, that purple sword is mine!!”

“You’re not allowed to pick up my purple sword!!”

At this moment, tears welled up in Fengyun Heavy Cavalry’s eyes. For the first time, he felt that a game could be so difficult to play, and for the first time, he wished a certain player would quit the game.

“Thank you, Hall Master Fengyun, for the purple sword.”

Li Si mercilessly picked it up, immediately putting it up for auction. Then he sent a Mingyue Village loudspeaker message.

Lawless Outlaw: “The purple sword has been listed, the only Level 20 purple weapon in the entire village.”

Lawless Outlaw: “The purple sword has been listed, the only Level 20 purple weapon in the entire village.”

Lawless Outlaw: “The purple sword has been listed, the only Level 20 purple weapon in the entire village.”

Three loudspeaker messages echoed over Mingyue Village.

Upon hearing them, the players immediately started discussing animatedly.

“.... Awesome!”

“Wasn’t this purple sword bought back by Fengyun Heavy Cavalry?”

“That outrageous Fengyun Heavy Cavalry.”

“This sword was taken by Lawless Outlaw again?”

“It was picked up. Fengyun Heavy Cavalry was instantly killed by Divine Power in Wild Dog Plains, and the purple sword dropped. I was following invisibly and wanted to pick up this purple sword too, but Crazy God was too fast, I didn't get it.”

“666, Fengyun Heavy Cavalry is unlucky.”

“Evil has its own retribution.”

“Lawless Outlaw isn’t evil at all. When Wind and Cloud Green Bull harassed me, it was Lawless Outlaw who saved me.”

“What the hell, Wind and Cloud Green Bull harassing a little girl? Is he even human?”

“Wind and Cloud Guild Tiannan Province Branch is a nest of trash.”

“One bad subordinate, a whole nest of bad leaders, and the worst is Fengyun Heavy Cavalry.”

“+1.”

“+1.”

At this moment, the players were united in their hatred, verbally attacking and listing the misdeeds of Wind and Cloud Guild Tiannan Province Branch. The more they listed, the more disgusted they became; it was simply too numerous to record.

Li Si also saw these misdeeds in the chat channel.

His favorability towards Fengyun Heavy Cavalry immediately dropped to freezing point, second only to: the little Japanese who live well with their white books, the little Koreans who attempt to include all global territories on their national map, and the Free Country who are always causing trouble for no reason.

Stupid Fengyun Heavy Cavalry, stupid Wind and Cloud Guild Tiannan Province Branch, you will close down sooner or later.

Afterward, Li Si began to return to Old Willow Tree.

The divine battle in the sky was still ongoing.

He returned to Old Willow Tree shortly after and, seeing Wang Shidao’s miserable state, his nose couldn’t help but feel a little sore.

Wang Shidao, who had been bare-chested with strong, muscular physique just a few minutes ago, was now almost unrecognizable.

He was emaciated, skin and bones, and his pants were tightened again and again.

But he was still struggling, using his magic power to resist the divine power, protecting the native residents of Mingyue Village.

And the areas Li Si couldn't see at the moment.

In the sky of Tiannan Province, the golden light barrier had become dim, but it still blocked the strong winds and black flames, protecting Tiannan Province from divine power infringement.

Man or God?

Who was truly the God?

At this moment, Li Si felt the difficulty that ancient mighty figures faced when shooting down the Golden Crows. Those were ten world-destroying divine calamities, yet they were easily suppressed by the ancient mighty figures with just nine arrows.

He also wanted to grow into a mighty figure who could suppress divine calamities with a flip of his hand.

“Disciple, come here.”

Feeling the familiar aura, Wang Shidao slowly opened his withered old eyes.

“Master.”

Li Si softly called out, then quickly walked over.

At this point, the divine battle in the sky was nearing its end. A battle of gods that should have lasted for a long time, even years, was about to conclude in less than ten minutes.

This was because Wandering Swordsman had embraced a death wish, and Inferno Demon King had just broken free from his seal, which was also when he harbored the most resentment towards humanity.

Therefore, both gods were fighting desperately.

But ultimately, Inferno Demon King was about to win, because he ascended to godhood earlier. Both his divine power and his foundation far surpassed Wandering Swordsman’s.

Inferno Demon King punched Wandering Swordsman tens of thousands of meters away, then looked down at Old Willow Tree and said, “Wang Shidao, this new god is about to fall. How about you also ascend to godhood and fight me again?”

“I’m not completely dead yet!!”

The gale raged, and Wandering Swordsman took a step, returning from tens of thousands of meters away.

“Gale Divine Sword Art, Bloodfall.”

Blood surged, and Wandering Swordsman’s aura rose again.

“Heh heh, Blood Clan secret art. New God of the Human Race, you are not a pure swordsman.” Inferno Demon King sneered, his eyes filled with intense mockery.

Wandering Swordsman said nothing, only coldly slashed.

The Gale Sword Art, wrapped in bloodlust, tore through the clouds and slashed towards Inferno Demon King, starting a new round of battle.

“Take this token, go to Divine Smith Valley to find Barren Arrow. Then use Great Teleportation Technique to return and, with your Great Wilderness Sun-Shooting Bow, suppress and kill Inferno Demon King.” Wang Shidao coughed up blood and pulled a token from his waist.

【Ding!】

【Congratulations, you have obtained: Equipment – divine smith token (Special).】

“Me? Shoot and kill Inferno Demon King?”

Li Si was stunned and bewildered at the same time.

Making him, a newbie, shoot and kill Inferno Demon King, wasn’t that a joke?

“That’s right, it’s you! Go quickly!”

Wang Shidao pushed Li Si away, then used his withered fingers to carve. The next second, a wisp of golden flame flew out from Li Si’s body and merged into Wang Shidao’s glabella.

【Ding!】

【Regrettably, your armor – mingyue garment (Purple) has lost energy and shattered.】

【Regrettably, your armor – Mingyue Pants (Purple) has lost energy and shattered.】

【Regrettably, your armor – Mingyue Boots (Purple) has lost energy and shattered.】

“.... What the hell?”

Upon seeing the system prompts, Li Si immediately looked down at the equipment on his body. His bright moon armor was vanishing like quicksand.

This... what was going on?

This scene left him puzzled.

At the same time.

In Qianlong Village, a newbie who had just entered the game walked into the equipment shop and immediately saw the bright moon armor. The purple shimmering equipment could actually be claimed for free.

“Holy crap, this game is awesome! It gives you purple equipment as soon as you enter the game!”

This little newbie anxiously claimed a mingyue garment.

“Hahaha… It added 200 health, I’m going straight for the boss.”

The little newbie put on the mingyue garment and was about to rush into Wild Dog Plains to grind monsters.

“Poof!”

At that moment, a golden flame flashed, and the mingyue garment on his body shattered.

The little newbie was stunned.

“What the hell! Isn’t this a scam? They said they’d give purple equipment as soon as you enter the game? You made me happy for nothing, game designer, may your mother be gutted.”

The same scene occurred in various Novice Villages.

In Mingyue Village, under the Old Willow Tree.

Innumerable golden flames pierced through space, merging and decomposing in mid-air, finally transforming into pure energy that integrated into Wang Shidao’s glabella.

“Boom!”

Brilliant golden flames shot into the sky, and Wang Shidao’s body swelled like a balloon, returning to its original state.

“This…”

Li Si was full of admiration.

He understood everything; so that was it.

He hadn't expected that the equipment he forged would become Wang Shidao’s backup plan.

Although he didn't understand the principle, he could guess the general idea—it was nothing more than something like a patchwork robe or the strength of all beings.

What about Barren Arrow in Divine Smith Valley then?

Thinking this, Li Si opened the divine smith token to check its attributes.

【divine smith token】 (Special)

Level: None

Effect 【Path of Forging】: Comprehend the true meaning of fire, comprehend the true meaning of strength. Attack upper limit +5%, Critical Damage +5%.

Effect 【Forging Smelting】: Continuously forging equipment can increase the attribute bonus of the divine smith token.

Effect 【Special Artifact】: Possesses unique great power, can integrate into the player's body, attributes automatically take effect.

Trait 【Divine Smith Valley】: Activating this effect can enable spatial teleportation, instantly returning to Divine Smith Valley.

Description: Super Craftsman Wang Shi has already taken all the forging energy from the divine smith token. Please re-cultivate to increase the attribute bonus of the divine smith token.

Indeed, all its energy had been drained.

The attributes of the divine smith token were similar to those of the gale sword embryo, except it had an additional special effect for teleporting to Divine Smith Valley.

These attributes were all within Li Si’s expectations.

5% attack.

5% critical damage.

It’s decent. The gale sword embryo increases speed, and the divine smith token adds damage.

Immediately, Li Si directly activated the fourth special effect of the divine smith token.

In an instant, a spatial light array rose from beneath his feet, teleporting him to Divine Smith Valley.

“Whoosh!!”

Li Si’s figure vanished from his original spot.

“Crazy God is gone!!”

“Holy crap, did Crazy God go offline?”

“Definitely not, I just tried, and I still can't go offline now.”

“Oh my god, today was too exciting.”

“It was indeed exciting. Even though my level reset to 1, I feel so good.”

“I feel great too, what a grand scene!”

“......”

The players near Old Willow Tree discussed loudly, looking at where Li Si had disappeared.

“Crazy God? Crazy God?”

Qian Miaomiao had just arrived at Old Willow Tree and happened to see Li Si disappear from his spot.

She quickly opened her friends interface and sent a message:

“Where did you go? Does the quest require cooperation?”

......
