33: Chapter Thirty-Three: The Palace of the God of War

There were 6 white-tier items in total and one ordinary Knight's Ring; none of the equipment caught his eye.

"Why are they all so poor? They're supposed to be a big family."

"Is this all the junk they have to offer?"

He looked helpless and thought to himself: It's a pity no equipment dropped when I killed Ba Qi Ce Lou.

That guy managed to withstand one strike without dying, so he must have plenty of good stuff on him...

"Maybe next time I run into him, I'll make him pay some protection money?"

"After all, killing people increases your Sin Value, but robbing them doesn't..."

Lin Feng rubbed his chin, feeling that this idea was quite sound.

After clearing the battlefield, he entered combat mode again.

Along the way, whenever he saw a monster, he would casually dispatch it.

These elite monsters weren't high level, but they gave a lot of experience, so this map was a decent choice for leveling and farming for treasure...

While he was busy grinding monsters, the real world, the official God Domain game website, and major social media platforms had gone completely wild...

The video secretly recorded by a casual player, titled "God Slayer Single-handedly Slaughtering the Baqi Family's Hundred-Man Team," had reached over ten million views in just a few minutes of being posted, and the comment section was being flooded.

"I'm stunned! I'm only level 5, and any one of them could easily wipe me out. So many tough guys were scared off by one person?"

"What kind of weird skill was that just now? The damage was so high, and it was an AoE skill... Must be a hack."

"Isn't the Baqi Family the top tier in Luofeng City? They were slashed like Wild Chickens by an assassin?"

"Wake up to the people saying it's a hack; God Domain is officially verified to have no hacks! Don't question the strength of the three major cosmic giants."

"Is this the God Slayer who is first on both the level and combat power rankings? Absolutely terrifying!"

"Big shot, look at me. I'm from Jing City... the top star at Caesar Hotel, 50% new, can do everything, please keep me!"

"Me... and me too... divorced with two kids, mature and gentle, and I can also ** (attached photo)."

(Forum Moderator): The lady above...

"Why did the moderator delete my photo?"

(Forum Moderator): I deleted your photo because it was too risqué. Please Photoshop those two lumps on your chest to be a bit smaller.

"Haha, Moderator, you know how to moderate!"

"Big shot God Slayer is too charming; look at what he's forced these ladies to do!"

The comment section went completely off-topic, turning from a discussion on combat power into a massive scene of people begging to be kept.

Meanwhile, at the Baqi Family's offline base, Ba Qi Ce Lou tore off his gaming helmet, his face dark, shaking with rage.

All the major short video platforms were full of people mocking him.

"God Slayer!... I want you dead. Put out a server-wide bounty on him! I'll pay ten thousand for every level he loses! I'll reward five hundred thousand for every time he's killed!!"

"I'll let him know the consequences of offending me..."

A lackey nearby trembled and whispered a reminder: "Boss... but he just one-shotted you with a single strike..."

"Shut up! Damn it, why do you have to bring up sore spots?"

Ba Qi Ce Lou almost fainted from anger and kicked the lackey in front of him away.

At the same time, beyond the eyes of the countless people filled with jealousy, anger, and admiration, several truly top-tier forces had also locked their sights on the "God Slayer" ID immediately.

There were many who wanted to kill Lin Feng, but even more forces wanted to recruit him at any cost.

And among all these forces, there was one most terrifying entity—the Huaxia War God Palace—God Domain Branch.

In a heavily guarded classified room, several people in uniforms with calm auras were repeatedly playing back the footage of Lin Feng's "Ten-Step Kill" skill and the slaughter of the Baqi Family.

A man in military attire looked solemn as he analyzed every aspect of Lin Feng one by one:

"Data verification complete. No abnormalities. Purely individual talent and operation."

"And his AoE skill is most likely a talent skill drawn before entering the game..."

"Combined with his advanced equipment lead and super-high movement speed, no player in the Blue Star Region should be able to withstand two strikes from him at this stage."

"Based on past data statistics and projections, there is a 95% probability that God Slayer is a solo player. Furthermore, this person is elusive and does not interact with other players. No force has managed to recruit him yet. His potential has already reached the SSS-level standard."

Someone next to him said in a deep voice: "Chief, should we activate special channels to verify his real-world identity?"

The man in Charge shook his head, his gaze fixed on the words "God Slayer" on the screen. "No need to investigate. Issue the invitation directly in-game."

"Tell him that the Huaxia War God Palace is officially extending an invitation to him."

"As long as he is willing, his real-world identity, security, resource allocation... we will agree to all conditions he sets."

He paused, then added in a grave tone: "Issue a highest-level priority directive."

"Contact the God Domain Branch Captain, Ye Weiyang."

"Tell him to drop all tasks immediately, go to Luofeng City, and camp out in the 24-hour convenience store that God Slayer just opened."

The subordinate was taken aback: "Chief, Major Ye Weiyang is our internal top combatant. Does he really need to go camp out personally?"

"He must go."

The chief said with a grave look: "Neighboring alien forces are watching like tigers, and whether Blue Star can stand firm before cosmic forces might just depend on this kid."

"Have Ye Weiyang camp out 24/7. Once God Slayer appears, report it immediately and be ready to hand over the War God Palace recruitment order at any time."

"If any mistakes occur in this matter, tell him to commit suicide... and return to heaven."

Inside the game, on the third floor of the Black Wind Ancient Tomb, Lin Feng slashed an elite monster to death, and his experience bar "dinged" and jumped.

[Congratulations, you have leveled up to level 16!]

A golden light bathed his entire body, and his status was fully restored!

Free attribute points +2.

He continued to add his attribute points to Agility.

After the previous round of actual PK, he realized he still wasn't fast enough... He had actually been hit by a dozen attacks, which was something he could not tolerate as an assassin class.

Additionally, there was another drawback: his output method was too singular.

Aside from his talent skill's large-scale AoE, he only had basic attacks in regular combat; he had plenty of burst, but his sustained output was slightly lacking.

This was also the shortcoming of all classes.

Aside from the two skill books learned upon class advancement, the only way to obtain new skill books at this stage was to complete high-level quests and kill BOSSes.

There was a small chance elite monsters would drop them too.

A small chance, much like finding 1 million on the road, with no one else around and no surveillance cameras.

Yes, that's about how to understand it...

"I hope the BOSS on this floor can provide some unexpected gains."

He quietly entered Stealth mode and crept silently toward the deepest part of the third floor of the ancient tomb.

At the end of the dim tomb passage, an icy, corpse-reeking pressure rushed toward him.

In the center of the huge tomb chamber, a massive figure clad in decaying black armor and wielding a giant axe was slowly turning its head.

[Black Armored Corpse King of the Ancient Tomb] (Bronze-tier Rare BOSS) Level: 23, HP: 180,000, Attack: 1,250, Defense: 180.

Skill 1: Trample: The giant axe slams into the ground, creating a 3-meter radius shockwave, dealing 200% physical damage, with a 1.5-second knock-up effect.

Skill 2: Corpse King's Roar: Releases a roar of corpse aura, dealing 120% area damage to players within 10 meters and applying a Terror BUFF: Defense -30% for 10 seconds.

Skill 3: Charge: Locks onto the farthest target and Charges in a straight line; all players on the path are stunned for 1 second and take 180% damage.

Introduction: In life, he was a commanding general guarding Luofeng City, with illustrious military achievements.

He eventually died on the battlefield and was buried deep within the Black Wind Ancient Tomb.

A thousand years later, the tomb was tainted by evil aura, and he transformed into a fierce and terrifying Grave-Guarding Corpse King.
