Chapter 56 - The Fourth Day, Re-Entering God’s Path
[Treasure Alliance customer service No. 13: I have also applied for your suggestion to convert part of the reward into materials. The team leader has agreed to it. You can use your gold coins to purchase the materials from us.]
[Treasure Alliance customer service No. 13: May I know what materials you need?]
[01: Holy Star]
After sending these two words, Ling Yi waited anxiously.
He wasn’t sure if they had any Holy Star, but if they didn’t, it meant other places would.
Thankfully, he didn’t have to wait long. After a few breaths, he received a message.
[Treasure Alliance customer service No. 13: The Holy star is an extremely rare material that only exists on God’s Path’s high-level maps. We only have three of them, and they are usually not sold as trading items.]
[Treasure Alliance customer service No. 13: However, we can make an exception for your sake. Then…We will take 50,000 gold coins from your reward]
[01: Ok]
Ling Yi would buy it even if it were 500,000 G, let alone 50,000 G.
He only needed one Holy Star to upgrade his [Dream Star of Light] bracelet.
It was equivalent to spending 50,000 G on upgrading a B-grade treasure to A-grade.
Countless people yearned for this kind of opportunity, including Ling Yi.
Very quickly, both parties completed the transaction.
After obtaining the Holy Star, Ling Yi habitually looked at the materials’ descriptions.
[Holy Star (B): A holy and beautiful Little Star. It was said to have been the brightest star in the sky.]
The description of most items in God’s Path often had mythical elements. Although the description said it once hung in the sky, it didn’t mean it was a real star.
Real stars were the celestial bodies in the universe, countless times larger than this.
‘I still can’t tell what it does from the description. It didn’t leave any hints whatsoever.‘
Ling Yi rubbed his chin and sighed, ‘A rare B-grade material costs tens of thousands of gold coins. No wonder no one has found a formula to synthesize A-grade treasures.‘
‘If I were them, I would be terrified of losing that money for each fusion.‘
‘Tsk, tsk, what a money-burning experience.‘
If he had the chance in the future, he might contribute a few other types of defensive treasures to Shenxia’s Treasure Alliance.
‘Well, that’s not important right now.‘
He could always take his time. Giving two successful formulas might seem lucky, but giving three successful formulas might shake the whole world.
There was already a large number of people in District 66 looking for him. If the Alliance dispatched people to look for “01”‘s true identity, then…
It still doesn’t matter!
After all, people don’t usually connect their real-world identities through forum names.
However, it still couldn’t put his fears to rest.
Today, some organizations might come to look for him. Tomorrow, a country might take interest and search for him. And the day after that, fake news might appear on the forum, causing more people to look for him… It will be annoying to be constantly chased by groups of people.
He shook his head and retracted his thoughts.
After taking one last look at the ” Holy Star”, he took off the bracelet on his wrist and opened the treasure fusion function.
He threw the two items together.
[This fusion will cost 100 gold coins. Continue?]
“Yes.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a hazy, colorful mist appeared in front of him, covering the two items.
After a few breaths, the colorful mist receded to the sides, revealing a black bracelet floating in the middle.
Compared to before, the bracelet now had faint blue light spots emanating from it. These light spots were like dim stars in the night. Even if they were not bright, they were equally beautiful.
Ling Yi used his [Eye of Truth] to inspect the bracelet.
[Dream Sacred Star]
[Grade: A]
[Type: Bracelet]
[Effect: Physique +235 (+25)]
[Precious Skill: Increases the wearer’s strength by 8 (+25) Star Slots]
(Dream Sacred Star + Universe Source Energy → Dream Star God)
After putting it on, he looked at his stats and Remaining Star Slots.
[Stats: strength 3, magic power 85, agility 100, endurance 3, physique 263]
[Remaining Star Slots: 26]
‘With over 200 points for physique, even if a level 30 Beast King were to hit him head-on, it wouldn’t be a big deal for me, right?‘
‘But my strength and endurance are still too low….‘
Ling Yi wanted to develop in all aspects of his stats, leaving no shortcomings for people to poke.
Strength and endurance… He would have to increase these two attributes sooner or later.
…
[A new day. You have gained 3 hours before descent.]
June 4th, early in the morning.
Under the anticipation of countless people worldwide, the new day in God’s Path was announced on time.
“Go, go, go. It’s time for a new day of exploration.”
“Hahaha, I’ll be able to rise to another level today. Come on, come on!”
“The days pass by so quickly…”
The players in the other districts were full of energy and vigor.
On the other hand, the players in District 66 were all feeling a little… Complicated.
After arriving at the camp, many people turned their heads, looking at all the players around them, feeling extremely depressed.
“Apparently, there’s an overpowered, mysterious big shot among us….”
Yesterday, only a thousand people reached Hot Wind Golden Peak.
The remaining eight thousand people only learned about the major incident after returning to Main World.
Now that they had returned to the camp, many people felt as if it had been a lifetime ago.
Some people were more positive and shouted to their friends, “Let’s go, let’s go! Don’t think too much. If there’s an overpowered, mysterious powerhouse, then so be it. We’re just level 2 and 3 newbies. Why are we thinking so much?”
“Let’s just do what we need to do!”
Some had received a mission from their financial supporter, or organization, behind them, paying them to investigate the mysterious summoned star player in their district.
They looked around the moment they came in and couldn’t help but feel suspicious of everybody. Everyone looked like they could be this mysterious player.
Ling Yi merely stood in the crowd.
Just as he recalled the plans he had arranged yesterday, someone beside him spoke to him.
“Hey, have you heard? There’s a very powerful newbie in our district.”
He turned his head and saw a wide-eyed young man. He continued with a very excitable expression, “I was shocked when I saw the news yesterday. I heard they even managed to kill the Wildflame Monarch, the stage three’s Boss!”
“Oh, I’ve heard.” Ling Yi replied monotonously. Then, he sized up the young man with a strange gaze before walking away.
He didn’t want to have a deep conversation with this stranger.
Seeing the other Ling Yi left, the young man didn’t think much about it. He turned to the others and said, “The mysterious newbie in our district did something big yesterday…”
…
There was a U-shaped cypress forest outside the camp, and after crossing the high grass slope, to the West was the Red Orchard.
There was a rock barrier to the West of the Red Orchard. After crossing it, one would arrive at Burning Scorched Earth.
Ling Yi used a [Teleportation talisman] to teleport over. He stood on the ground of Burning Scorched Earth and went through the plans he had prepared.
‘Today, I’m going to the Rocky Highlands to the West of this place to farm some exp. My goal is to reach level 20 by the end of the day.‘
“But if I fight there, those people might be able to guess that I’m heading that way and will find me.”
“If they do come, what should I do?..”‘ He muttered and crossed his arms in thought.
He was thinking about the most appropriate course of action.
