……

Hopeless Biological Research Institute - Eastern part of the Moon Shadow Plains.

"President Chen, there's something I don't quite understand. Since there used to be a way to level up here, why are the players still generally below level 90? Not to mention players who've awakened three times, why are there so few players who've even awakened twice?"

In the center of the camp consisting of thousands of players, Zi Xiangwang sat opposite a burly man over two meters tall.

This burly man's name is Hu Dayong, a level 125 inherited class 'Holy Hammer Knight', ranked third in the personal combat power ranking, and the president of the Holy Hammer Guild.

After the mandatory mission was released, half of the players in the Hopeless Biological Research Institute area gathered under Hu Dayong's command. It can be said that he has high strength and reputation.

Hu Dayong took a sharp, thick stick and stabbed it into the flesh of his arm bit by bit.

“Hiss…so cool!”

"Our resources here are limited! Really limited. Most of them were consumed by those two bastards Liu Hongqing and Luan Jiuxu. As a result, when the mandatory mission came out, these two bastards who should have been there in time were the first to die."

"Two damn bastards!"

Forgetting one's own doubts, one asks questions.

"How strong are they? Are they much stronger than you?"

Hu Dayong curled his lips, but still nodded.

"Those two bastards have been here long enough and have monopolized over 80% of the resources in the area. They've already completed four awakenings."

The fourth awakening means it is above level 150.

Zi Xiangwang watched helplessly as the strong man in front of him pulled out the iron skewer and then inserted it into his other arm.

"Then, President Hu, what do you know about this mission's objective, 'Devouring'?"

Hu Dayong looked into the distance, a little sad.

"'Devour''s original name was Subject No. 3. He was a pitiful creature, imprisoned in an underground cage for eternity, and had to watch his own descendants being slaughtered day after day."

"Alas, after all, I am also one of the perpetrators. Now that it has grown to this extent, I have no way to deal with it. If I hadn't been brought here by so many people, I would have been ready to die."

“Hiss, so cool!”

As Hu Dayong spoke, he inserted the iron skewer into his thigh again, and scarlet blood oozed out slightly.

He grinned and couldn't help asking.

"President Hu, do you have some kind of passive skill that increases your attributes by damaging yourself?"

Hu Dayong grimaced in pain, but then looked like he was enjoying it.

"Not at all. I've had a little habit of irritating wounds since before I entered the game. To be more precise, I enjoy the pleasure of slowly recovering after severe pain."

"In the previous world, this hobby was indecent and needed to be hidden, but in this damn world, not fearing pain has become an advantage, haha."

"Do you want to try it too?"

He grinned obliviously and replied with a forced smile.

"never mind."

"Brother Bai, I've seen your abilities. You must help me direct the upcoming battles."

……

Trial World——Void Tavern.

what--

"Assholes, assholes! You will regret this! God will make you die in the most painful way, ah..."

The battle between spirits was silent, but the screams of the polluted Emilia were extremely loud.

Ever since she turned into a black mud giant, her defense and health points have greatly increased. Although she still has no power to fight back, she has managed to survive until now.

Li Chuan, who was hiding behind the ring, frowned.

As long as Emilia is not killed, he will never be able to let go of his worries.

Although this guy seems to have revealed all his cards, there is still the so-called God she mentioned.

Apart from anything else, even if we count them by number, there are at least sixteen destroyers with sub-god-level strength.

If a destroyer who masters certain rules came in at this time, Li Chuan could not think of any way to deal with it.

He was worried like this for half an hour, until the black mud monster completely turned into a pool of dirty black mud, and Li Chuan finally let go of his worry.

[The Rule Guardian Badge effect has been triggered. You have killed the node creature 'Heavy Polluter' and obtained 'Abyss Treasure Chest'*5]

Countless gray-white tentacles carrying the magic ink pen retracted into Li Chuan's armband.

Arnold completed the task assigned by Li Chuan perfectly and returned strongly.

[Complete the mandatory quest 'Emilia in Pain!']

[Mission Difficulty: Order Level]

[Quest Requirements: The polluted Emilia has been killed!]

【获得任务奖励:职业品级晋升、等级+10、金币*100亿、规则符文*1000、无属性元素圣核(真·传承)*100、凌月宝箱*1。】

There is no doubt that the danger is proportional to the reward, and Li Chuan has made a fortune again!

[Ding, your second awakening trial has been completed, your professional rank has been upgraded, and your current rank is: Demigod level! Do you want to continue the challenge?]

Li Chuan was stunned.

"Can you continue the challenge?"

Could it be that the polluted Emilia could be resurrected and allowed to be killed again?

Just when Li Chuan was confused, Emilia in white dress put away her sword and walked over.

"Originally it was not possible, but I used my authority to give you another chance."

Li Chuan looked at Emilia in the white dress.

Compared to the one I had seen before, the beautiful young woman in the white dress had a much weaker aura.

"I understand that you want to repay me, so you want to give me some reward?"

Emilia nodded and waved softly.

The tavern that was once filled with filth instantly became as elegant and warm as before.

"It's understandable that if it weren't for you, she might have caused great trouble to the entire world. In that case, all my efforts over the years would have been in vain."

Li Chuan nodded thoughtfully.

"Um, could you tell me how you became 'tainted'? I'm really curious about it."

Just now, Li Chuan wanted Arnold to read the memory of the polluted Emilia, but failed. Perhaps it was because the level of the polluted Emilia was as high as the demigod level.

Emilia sat on a chair and motioned Li Chuan to sit opposite her.

"Of course, you are now qualified to know about this matter. However, you must first tell me how much you know about 'pollution' so that I can decide where to start."

Li Chuan looked thoughtful, and then said softly.

"The first time I encountered this kind of guy was at the ninth section of the Sky Tree. I met a guy who called himself the 'Mysterious Merchant'..."

In addition to concealing some of his own secrets, Li Chuan told everything he knew about the polluter.

When Emilia heard that Li Chuan had killed two numbered "Destroyers", her expression was visibly shocked and unbelievable.

"I can't believe that a player who doesn't even have control over a single true rule of power can actually kill two destroyers!"

"To be honest, I kind of regret not developing you into a 'kindred spirit' last time."
