48: Xiaguo launches a national gaming plan

Inferno Demon Ridge, at the peak of the mountain.

“Bang!”

The Inferno Demon King’s corpse crashed onto the ground, and three loot glowing orbs flew out from it.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations on receiving the Announcement Reward: Item – skill comprehension book (Gold).”

“Congratulations on completing the Main Quest! You have received the Quest Reward: Permanent Attack increase of 10 points.”

“Congratulations on slaying the Inferno Demon King! You have received an additional Quest Reward: Title – The End of the Main Quest (Unique).”

Three notifications popped up before Li Si’s eyes.

“Buzz!”

A golden page, accompanied by dazzling divine light, descended from the sky.

“...The reward is here.”

Li Si quickly reached out to catch the skill comprehension book.

Although he had already changed his profession to an Archer and could learn Archer skills, the skill books in the Trading House were of too low quality to catch his eye. Learning them would only waste a skill slot.

Permanent attack power.

skill comprehension book.

A permanent unique title.

The rewards for this Main Quest were truly impressive.

Li Si sighed with emotion, then raised his hand and crushed the skill comprehension book. In an instant, a rich golden light appeared out of thin air, surging into his skill bar.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations! You have comprehended and acquired the skill – Sky-Piercing Blade Draw (Gold).”

“Due to an explosion of comprehension and a flash of inspiration, Sky-Piercing Blade Draw has reached MAX level upon initial learning.”

“Current Skill Slots: 7/7.”

“???”

What? Max level from the start?

Li Si was suddenly overjoyed.

He had already learned many skills, but he had only seen a skill start at MAX level twice: the first was Great Teleportation Technique, and this was the second time.

How abnormal!

This wave directly saved him 45 million experience points.

He raised his hand to open the skill properties.

“Sky-Piercing Blade Draw MAX”

Quality: Gold

Active: Condenses sword energy to unleash a single slash within a 100-meter radius in front, dealing damage equal to Attack * 2000%.

Requirements: 500 Mana consumption, 60-second cooldown.

Warning: The sword energy is ferocious and merciless, distinguishing neither friend nor foe, slaying all targets.

“Holy crap?!”

What a terrifying Gold skill.

Li Si clicked his tongue in admiration.

The extremely large slashing area and incredibly high slashing damage definitely exceeded the scope of a Gold skill. However, correspondingly, Sky-Piercing Blade Draw’s requirements were also astonishing, with very high mana consumption and cooldown time.

“Mana is irrelevant; with the Limiter, I can stack it indefinitely.”

“A 60-second cooldown is also acceptable; it’s enough for use.”

The more Li Si looked at Sky-Piercing Blade Draw, the more he liked it; it was definitely a divine skill for clearing areas.

If he had possessed Sky-Piercing Blade Draw in the tomb chamber not long ago, he wouldn't have needed to shoot the Wind and Cloud Guild players one arrow at a time. Instead, two Sky-Piercing Blade Draws would have directly covered the entire tomb chamber, easily instantly killing the thousand members of the Wind and Cloud Guild.

“There’s also a title.”

Li Si then closed the skill properties and, with a thought, opened the Title Bar.

Within the translucent interface, it was no longer empty; a title appeared, constructed from multicolored text, shimmering within the Title Bar.

“The End of the Main Quest (Unique)”

Type: Permanent Title

Effect: You, who ended the unique Main Quest and slew the Calamity Fallen God, are the most dazzling new star. Luck +10, Comprehension +10, Charm +10.

Description: Obtained by the first player to complete the unique Main Quest.

“Holy crap!”

Li Si was once again suddenly overjoyed.

Three hidden attributes, 10 points each, totaling 30 hidden attributes.

This title was truly amazing.

At this moment, Li Si understood why Sky-Piercing Blade Draw could start at MAX level.

With his current 28 Comprehension and 19 Luck, it would be strange if a Gold skill didn't start at MAX level upon learning.

“I’m too abnormal.”

Li Si admired his attribute panel, the corners of his mouth and eyes involuntarily curving upwards...

Just then, he thought of the Inferno Demon King’s drops.

He immediately stepped forward to pick them up.

The drops were very ordinary, just three Level 20 Purple-grade equipment pieces.

A [Blazing Burst Bow], which increased physical critical chance.

A [Blazing Piercing Spear], which increased fixed armor penetration.

A [Blazing Wind Chaser Dagger], which increased movement speed and attack speed.

All three pieces of equipment were weapons.

Their attributes were similar to the one-handed sword dropped by Fengyun Heavy Cavalry.

“They should sell for a good amount of money.”

After a quick glance at the attributes of the three weapons, Li Si listed them one by one. All were set to auction mode, and upon listing, they immediately caused a frenzy among players.

At this time, Fengyun Heavy Cavalry’s Purple Sword had successfully sold.

After deducting the handling fee, 300,000 RMB was credited.

“Ding!”

“Current character account balance: 3,025,411 RMB.”

Haha....

Entering All Heavens Game for three days, he had earned 3 million, averaging 1 million per day. Plus, there were three more Purple-grade equipment pieces, which, once all sold, would bring in at least another 600,000 RMB.

At this moment, Li Si was immensely glad; taking a year off school to venture into All Heavens Game was indeed the most correct decision he had ever made in his life.

Meanwhile, as players from Mingyue Village gradually went offline and witnessed everything that happened in the sky above Tiannan Province, the incident exploded.

“All Heavens Game can affect the real world!”

This news quickly spread among those in the know.

At the same time, official documents were issued by various provinces in Xia Nation, stating that All Heavens Game would be promoted nationwide.

All Xia Nation citizens aged 16 and above were required to participate, with mandatory daily online hours. If the online hours were insufficient, they would be arrested by the local police and forced to make up the hours in a detention center.

As soon as this document was released,

It immediately caused an uproar, and within a short time, Xia Nation’s billion-strong population erupted.

“I still have to go to work and support my family.”

“I still have to go to school and strive for progress every day.”

“I still want to drink and go out with girls.”

“This is Inverted Heavens! My child is still in high school; why play All Heavens Game? If he can’t get into university next year, my child’s life will be ruined.”

“...”

For a time, public opinion was boiling, and many people began to resist All Heavens Game, crying out that the rites and music had collapsed, and the world was filled with monsters.

However, the voices of these people could not change anything.

Xia Nation’s postal service had already been activated.

With lightning speed, login bracelets for All Heavens Game were delivered to every citizen aged 16 and above. And a note was attached: Any citizen who dares to destroy a login bracelet will be classified as a terrorist.

This scared many people out of their wits.

After all, within Xia Nation, criminals still required evidence. But when facing terrorists, one only needed to pull the trigger.

“What the hell is going on?”

In Tiannan Province, a rich second-generation heir stared blankly at the All Heavens Game login device in his hand.

Just two minutes ago, he was still swaying in a bar, hands all over a hostess. Then, a burly man claiming to be a Xia Nation postal worker burst into the bar.

The big man said nothing, simply lifted him out of the bar with one hand, handed him a login bracelet, and then coldly said, “You’re XXX, right? You have 24 hours to enter All Heavens Game and create a character. Otherwise, the local police will contact you to assist you in character creation.”

The rich second-generation heir was dumbfounded, but seeing the big man’s strong biceps, he didn’t dare to say anything, only nodding stiffly.

Just then, his father’s call came: “XXX, where the hell are you?! No matter what you’re doing, you need to, right now, immediately, enter All Heavens Game and convert all your RMB into All Heavens Game currency. This isn’t a joke; it’s your old man’s order. Execute it immediately.”

As soon as the words fell, his father hung up before the rich second-generation heir could react, making him even more bewildered.

“What the hell is going on?”

The rich second-generation heir sat on the ground in front of the bar, smelling the rotten scent of the sewer, looking at the game login device in his hand again and again, finally uttering a bewildered question.

The same scene not only happened in bars but also in Hai City, and even in Tiannan Province, and throughout Xia Nation.

Even the entire Blue Star.

The fermentation of the abnormal celestial phenomena in Tiannan Province, coupled with national policies, made 99% of Xia Nation’s citizens aware of the importance of All Heavens Game within these short ten-odd minutes.

“Immediately sell all shares of the corporation! I want to raise all the funds of Zhang Corporation to enter All Heavens Game,” announced the chairman of Zhang Corporation, Hai City’s largest corporation, during a meeting.

“Son, didn’t you like playing games and even reached Challenger in LoL? I won’t stop you now; go into All Heavens Game and achieve great things,” a father said to his son, who had just turned 16.

“Daughter, I heard your boyfriend is a professional gamer? Quickly bring him here and tell him I agree; you can get your marriage certificate today. A bride price of 380,000? What 380,000? There’s no such thing. As long as you get your certificate today, I’ll give you a dowry of 380,000,” the snobbish mother-in-law shouted at her obedient daughter.

Just as Xia Nation citizens were getting excited,

Xia Nation’s super corporations couldn’t sit still and began launching their All Heavens Game advertisements through their own channels.

The first to appear was WeiQ Group: WeiQ Group, which held an absolute dominant position among countless chat software in Xia Nation.

“WeiQ Group is recruiting professional gamers with generous benefits and providing high-end private apartments. Also recruiting super players to be appointed as Executive Vice President of WeiQ Group, granted 10% shares of WeiQ Group, and managing all matters of WeiQ Group within All Heavens Game.”

This recruitment advertisement could be seen upon entering the WeiQ app, and it was mandatory viewing; no one could skip it.

Afterward, Kuaiyin Group quickly followed suit.

Then, various major companies scrambled to join in.

The competition for super players had begun.
