68: The old man again

At this moment, Luanxing City's resurrection point was bustling with people, a scene of boiling excitement.

"What's going on?"

"Have you heard? Zhang Corporation led over ten thousand people to ambush Lawless Madman in Moonlight Canyon."

"What was the result? Did Lawless Madman die?"

"He didn't die!"

"Not only did he not die, he even killed all ten thousand plus people from Zhang Corporation. And do you know? The entire massacre only took him one hour."

"What? He killed them all?" (voice cracking)

"I couldn't even kill ten thousand pigs in an hour!"

"Is Zhang Corporation worse than pigs? Didn't they know to go offline and hide? Where were their brains? What a bunch of idiots!"

"Crazy God is still awesome!"

"What about the other nine super players? Are they as fierce as Lawless Madman? Who knows their true battle records?"

"I only know Endless Corpse Hand, the first player to reach Level 10, and the first player to reach Level 20. He monopolized both titles."

......

At this moment, Zhang Youdao and Li Si became famous in Luanxing City.

However, their reputations were completely opposite. For every person who praised Li Si as awesome, there was another who cursed Zhang Youdao as an idiot.

Just at this bustling moment...

A system announcement suddenly rang in everyone's ears—

[Ding!]

[Xia Nation Announcement: Congratulations to player—Endless Corpse Hand for being the first to reach Level 30, receiving the item—skill comprehension book (Gold).]

[Xia Nation Announcement: Congratulations to player—Endless Corpse Hand for being the first to reach Level 30, receiving the item—skill comprehension book (Gold).]

[Xia Nation Announcement: Congratulations to player—Endless Corpse Hand for being the first to reach Level 30, receiving the item—skill comprehension book (Gold).]

The Xia Nation Announcement popped up frantically.

It instantly overshadowed the topic of the ten thousand-man ambush in Moonlight Canyon.

People began discussing Endless Corpse Hand.

Discussing super players.

......

One wave had not settled, another rose.

Before the announcement of Endless Corpse Hand reaching Level 30 had finished, an even grander wave of system prompts sounded—

[Ding!]

[Blue Star Announcement: Detected a player reaching Level 30, All Heavens Game is opening—Guild Storm version. The non-offline update has been completed. Players can check it in the message interface.]

[Blue Star Announcement: Detected a player reaching Level 30, All Heavens Game is opening—Guild Storm version. The non-offline update has been completed. Players can check it in the message interface.]

[Blue Star Announcement: Detected a player reaching Level 30, All Heavens Game is opening—Guild Storm version. The non-offline update has been completed. Players can check it in the message interface.]

The Blue Star Announcement refreshed hundreds of times before players' eyes in an instant.

In a flash, the crowd erupted.

"Awesome!"

"We've finally entered the guild version."

"Endless Corpse Hand is awesome!"

"Brothers, have you heard? Lawless Madman 1vs10000 in a canyon in Luanxing City, a complete victory!"

"That can't be true, can it?"

"Absolutely true, someone saw it with their own eyes."

"Unbelievable!"

"Is this the strength of a super player? Both Endless Corpse Hand and Lawless Madman are fierce."

"What about the other eight? No, the other seven. After all, Bai Xiaosheng's strength has already been proven; he's a true All Heavens encyclopedia."

"Perhaps they're still developing, waiting to make a stunning debut!"

......

At this moment, whether in reality, in the game, or online, from eighty-year-old grandmothers to ten-year-old children, everyone was discussing these two announcements, the guild version, as well as the ambush in Moonlight Canyon, Lawless Madman, Endless Corpse Hand, and super players.

At this moment, various major forces began to act.

WeiQ Group: "Highly purchasing guild tokens, excellent prices, further negotiation possible."

Morgan Family: "Purchasing guild tokens. The Morgan Family welcomes strong players to join, offering the highest treatment."

Samsung Conglomerate: "Purchasing guild tokens. Welcome players from all over the world to join Samsung, offering conglomerate status."

Yamaguchi Group: "Purchasing guild tokens...."

......

"Swish!"

A black shadow, like a ghost in the rainy night, flashed by.

This shadow was naturally Li Si.

"Endless Corpse Hand is already Level 30."

Li Si sighed faintly, without jealousy or surprise, only pleasant surprise.

Because of the Fallen God Disturbance.

If the turmoil broke out, having more super players would always be a good thing.

He opened his message list, found the latest entry, and clicked to view the game update.

"Swish!"

A translucent information interface unfolded before Li Si's eyes—

[Guild Version]

[Guild Token]

[Guild Residence]

[Master-Disciple System]

[Master-Disciple Shop]

There were five update contents from top to bottom.

The first three were related to guilds.

These were not very relevant to Li Si, so he directly clicked on the first three to view them.

[Guild Version]: New Guild Hall added in the main city. Guilds now have a level system, guild skills, guild quests, guild residences, guild NPCs.... and many other related features.

[Guild Token]: Has a chance to drop from killing Gold King units Level 30 or above.

[Guild Residence]: With a guild token, upon completing the guild creation quest, you can choose to establish a guild residence and formally establish a guild. The first three guilds to be formally established will receive guild-related rewards. (These rewards are server-wide)

Gold King, huh?

Li Si secretly noted it down. Guild tokens were of great importance and value. First, he could use it himself to establish a guild and get rewards. Second, he could exchange it for abundant gold coins or rare and uncommon items.

Then, he continued to click on the latter two updates.

[Master-Disciple System]: The Master-Disciple System has been updated. It is no longer limited to new players who have just entered the game to find a master. After the system update, any player can find a master.

[Master-Disciple Shop]: Acting together as master and disciple can earn Master-Disciple points. These can be used to purchase equipment, skill books, consumables.... and other in-game items from the Master-Disciple Shop.

These two updates had a slight connection to Li Si.

After all, at this time, he still had a cheap disciple—Unbearable Past.

Li Si opened the Master-Disciple Shop with his mind.

He quickly scanned the items in the shop. They were all very common items, except for one golden skill book that made Li Si pause for a few seconds.

[Seven-Shot Barrage]: Price 10 Gold Master-Disciple points, remaining quantity 1.

This was an active skill for the Archer profession.

Fires 7 arrows in an instant, each arrow dealing 100% damage, 20-second cooldown.

The skill effect was very average, but this was only the Lv1 effect. Although it probably wouldn't be great even when maxed out, firing 7 arrows in an instant could be combined with Skill - Life Scourge, making the effect quite suitable for Li Si.

"Just barely acceptable."

He could try to get it if he had spare time, otherwise, he wouldn't bother.

The setting sun slowly receded, and night gradually fell.

After several hours of frantic running, Li Si finally stopped, for Moonfall Town had arrived.

The town was ancient and simple, nestled on the land, with sparse lights, lonely and desolate.

There didn't seem to be many NPCs in this town.

From a rough observation outside the town, only one-tenth of the households had lights on; the rest were in darkness, making the town appear desolate and terrifying, like a giant maw in the abyss.

"I'm a red-named player, it's easy to get caught if I enter a safe zone."

Li Si quietly crouched near the main gate of Moonfall Town.

His purpose was simple: he wanted to wait for a fated person to inquire about the Evergreen Willow. After all, Moonfall Town was very large, and searching aimlessly by himself would be too time-consuming.

A diligent person is never disappointed.

Half an hour later, Li Si really did manage to find an NPC.

Why is it another old man?

He was extremely surprised by this. Wang Shidao, Mysterious Old Man, and now this one in front of him—three consecutive NPCs were old men. How many NPCs did he even know? Only four important ones, and all of them were old men except for Wandering Swordsman.

[Frail Old Man] (Legendary Monarch)

Level: 99

Attributes:????

Talents:????

Skills:????

Description: An aged old man residing in Moonfall Town. For some unknown reason, he has always been in a weakened state, which has lasted for over a thousand years. If you can help him escape his weakened state, you will obtain treasures rarely seen in the world.

"....Awesome."

Li Si was completely stunned.

Damn!

Another Level 99 Legendary Monarch, this was already the fourth one.

He only knew four NPCs in total.

And all of them were super big shots.

Beings just one step away from becoming gods.

Was this good or bad?

Li Si couldn't say for sure.

Powerful NPC old men had benefits for him, such as—generous rewards, serving as a backer, extensive knowledge.....and so on.

There were also many drawbacks.

For example, the Mysterious Old Man in Luanxing City, who simply used a blinding spell, almost caused Li Si to perish during the professional trial. If the Mysterious Old Man had deliberately targeted him, the Lawless Madman ID would have basically been finished.

Therefore, when Li Si encountered another Monarch-level NPC at this moment, he was inwardly intimidated.
