99: No one is normal

Oh, right, he really does look like the easiest one to bully.

Shi Yan looked around: Paper Man, Snot Worm, Witch, Steel Robot, Four-Armed Zombie, three-meter-tall Bamboo Man, Water Ball completely made of water, a cluster of light, a car.

Among the nine people, he couldn't find a second person who looked even remotely normal.

Never mind the car, there were even two entities made of elements.

Shi Yan shook his head slightly at the sight, a feeling of melancholy in his heart.

Slaughter Paradise is too competitive now; look what it's forced players into!

Low-level players are fine, but high-level players are all completely abnormal.

That exposed Witch was actually considered a rare, seemingly normal player.

"Hey! How did you end up here?"

The Witch seemed to notice Shi Yan's gaze and slowly floated over to him on her broom.

"What?"

Shi Yan looked at the Witch with deep, dark eyes, seemingly very curious about her.

"This dungeon is a very famous Tier 3 dungeon, and because of its generous rewards, many Tier 3 players often come to participate."

"Including me, but I've never seen a player who hasn't reached Tier 3 yet come here."

The Witch stared at Shi Yan curiously; her curiosity was already strong, and coupled with Shi Yan's calm demeanor just now, she became even more curious about him.

The purple specks of light in her eyes kept flickering.

If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't harm each other at this moment, she might have been unable to resist taking out Shi Yan's brain and using magic to see what he had experienced.

"Perhaps because..."

Shi Yan said slowly, as if deep in thought.

"Because of what? Hurry up and tell me!"

The Witch was very frustrated by Shi Yan's teasing and wanted to know the truth even more.

However, Shi Yan suddenly closed his eyes to rest, not continuing to speak.

"!!!"

The Witch gritted her teeth, her face contorting.

Time slowly passed, and the iron warehouse suddenly jolted, as if it had hit something.

A blue light screen suddenly appeared in the very center of the iron warehouse.

The image flickered slightly, and a Glass Man appeared in the center of the light screen.

This person was truly made entirely of glass; because he was completely transparent, it was difficult to clearly see his facial features.

"Hello, little players, I am your guide, responsible for telling you the specific rules."

"If you violate the rules, then what you least want to experience will happen."

The Glass Man's tone alternated between serious and playful, but his face remained indistinct.

"Actually, there's only one rule!"

"That is, fight with all your might!"

As soon as the Glass Man finished speaking, the blue light screen instantly disappeared.

A small blue vortex suddenly appeared in the center.

The vortex instantly expanded and grew, becoming over ten meters high.

It was clearly meant for the players to enter.

Snot Worm and Paper Man were the first to walk towards it, and the moment they entered the teleportation gate, they both turned and looked at Shi Yan with cold, sinister gazes, a bloodthirsty, icy smile on their lips.

The other players also looked at Shi Yan with strange expressions, seemingly with sympathy, and perhaps with mockery.

Because the entire Starry Sky Arena contains countless various creatures, and most of them are above Level 30.

There are basically no creatures below Level 30.

If Shi Yan really was a Level 20 player, he would probably be experiencing an accelerated heart rate and sweating profusely by now.

The Witch, on the other hand, looked at Shi Yan with resentful eyes, as if resenting him for raising her expectations only to not tell her the reason.

"You're about to kick the bucket; can you tell me the reason?"

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!"

The Witch seemed unwilling to give up and once again leaned close to Shi Yan, looking at him.

Shi Yan ignored the Witch and quickly walked towards the teleportation gate.

He was already eager to acquire skills.

This vortex teleportation gate seemed different from the teleportation arrays Shi Yan had experienced before; teleportation arrays were one-time, rapid teleports.

This teleportation gate, however, automatically connected the space-time in front of the player to another space-time.

As Shi Yan stepped through the teleportation gate, he could already distinctly feel a texture different from steel.

But the other half of his body was still outside the teleportation gate, which gave him a very novel sensation.

Shi Yan stopped thinking and quickly walked into the teleportation gate.

The other side of the teleportation gate was above a giant Lava Fireball pool.

Above the fire pool were two black stone platforms just large enough for a person to stand on.

Below the platforms was the surging Lava Fireball pool, and the temperature emanating from that fire pool made Shi Yan's heart pound.

This temperature was tens of thousands of times stronger than the Lava Fireball he created.

But thankfully, that temperature seemed to be covered by some invisible light shield, with only a slight residual warmth escaping.

Around the Starry Sky Arena was a starry sky, seemingly empty.

About one kilometer in front of the platform beneath Shi Yan's feet, there was also a black platform, where a distorted butterfly quietly flew.

The butterfly's main body was ten meters long, and its wingspan reached twenty meters when spread.

Its main body was entirely dark green and oval-shaped, with eight sharp, slender legs all hanging from the left side of its body.

On its back were two pairs of irregular yellow wings, with blood-red eyes on each wing.

Its head had only one proboscis, which was a black needle-like tube eight meters long and one meter thick.

This creature looked very abnormal.

In a galaxy billions of light-years away.

A spaceship floated quietly in the vast, boundless starry sky.

A beautiful woman sat bored in the pilot's seat.

"Damn it, I have to fly the ship to collect the essence of this galaxy's matter again!"

"And the cosmic coins they give are still so damn little!"

The woman's face was so exquisite it didn't look human; she resembled some kind of higher being, very similar to the imagined perfect human.

However, her words were very vulgar, with a 'damn it' in every other sentence.

"Good thing the Starry Sky Arena has started again; it's a way to make up for my boring time."

With an expectant look, the woman used her mind to tap, and an image automatically appeared in her mind.

"Wow! So exciting right from the start?"

"Is the Distorted Butterfly Emperor making an appearance so soon?"

"The opponent is... a Level 20 player from Slaughter Paradise?!"

The woman looked shocked; it was her first time seeing a Level 20 player in the Starry Sky Arena.

It was as absurd as seeing an elementary school student in a university classroom, and that elementary school student being the teacher.

"The Distorted Butterfly Emperor is a top-tier Tier 4 expert, and it hasn't lost much since its debut; many famous Tier 4 experts have died by its hand."

"This poor Level 20 lad is in for it."

"Hehe."

The woman looked at Shi Yan with sympathy, but then she became excited; she enjoyed watching such bloody scenes of slaughter, which was why she had opened the Starry Sky Arena.
