Chapter 490: 489, Release of video sparks nationwide frenzy_1

“Ah, this…” Zhen Hong was dumbfounded.

Looking at the black muzzle of the assault rifle and hearing the crisp sound of the loading, he broke into a cold sweat: “I think we should call this off…”

He barely got halfway through his sentence before Su Yu interrupted him: “Stop chattering! With so many of us here, do you think we’ll hurt you? Activate [Shield Wall] now!”

At the same time, Su Yu waved to A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, who was watching from the side: “Record this on your phone and post it on the official forum later.”

“Alright.” A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated took out his phone and aimed the camera lens at Zhen Hong.

Zhen Hong: “This…”

He was out of options.

Well, might as well risk it all and let Boss Ke have a try!

Zhen Hong activated [Shield Wall], the best defense skill of a Warrior. A deep blue fury gathered in front of his chest, quickly forming into four fury shields the size of tabletops.

“Boss Ke, don’t go too hard!” Zhen Hong was uncertain and cautiously said.

“Don’t worry, if you die, I’ll visit your grave next Qing Ming Festival,” Su Yu comforted him.

Zhen Hong: “…”

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

Su Yu pulled the trigger, a burst of bullets poured out of the gun, accurately hitting the same fury shield.

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

The bullets made a dull sound as if they were stabbing into wood, causing Zhen Hong, who wasn’t ready, to stagger back.

But under the protection of the fury shield and body, all the bullets were blocked and fell to the ground, loss of any kinetic force.

The inert bullets landed at least 3-4 cm from Zhen Hong’s actual body.

As it turned out, this round of bullets could not break through his defense, even two or three more rounds might not!

“That’s it. That’s it?” Feeling the limited power of the assault rifle, Zhen Hong immediately switched from extreme fear to extreme smugness.

I’ve become a man who can physically withstand an assault rifle, he was ecstatic.

“Is there a gun with greater power? Should we try a more powerful one?” Zhen Hong seemed eager to try.

But unfortunately, he hadn’t completely mastered his power. accidentally exerted too much force, and “rip”, his shirt tore a large hole, revealing his belly.

But Zhen Hong wasn’t too embarrassed because at that moment, a flash of white light passed in front of him, and a mage using the [Flash Skill] appeared in the center of the field from a distance.

This mage was not Su Yu, but Shepherd in the Clouds who had just walked out of the plank house. Shepherd in the Clouds was also very excited.

Moreover, Shepherd in the Clouds was slightly better than the other two.

Neither A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated nor Zhen Hong thought of materializing their equipment when they came out of the room, while Shepherd in the Clouds had already materialized his full body of equipment before leaving the room, holding a second-order staff with a sparkling blue gem in his hand.

“[Ice Arrow]!”

As soon as Shepherd in the Clouds appeared in the center of the field, he launched his first spell in the real world towards a direction in the sky without any apprentice mages.

The crystal clear Ice Arrow quickly formed at the tip of his staff and shot into the sky at high speed.

Fwoosh! Pop!

Under his control, the Ice Arrow exploded into a huge ice flower in the sky. Thousands of ice crystals showcased a colorful brilliance under the refraction of the sun, looking extremely beautiful.

“Good job, Comrade Shepherd!” Su Yu walked over and patted his shoulder: “Keep up the good work! If you perform well in the future, I can give you the gold equipment I’ve replaced, even including this sixth-order epic set I’m wearing.”

Su Yu materialized his [Elemental Harmony] set and did a little demonstration.

“This is actually a sixth-order set.” Shepherd in the Clouds was taken aback.

Although it was speculated that Boss Ke had acquired more powerful equipment after he posted the attributes of his fourth-order [Lighthouse Sudden Cold Set] on the Internet, players were nevertheless covetous to discover that it was a complete sixth-order epic set.

Looking at the multicolored equipment on Su Yu, Shepherd in the Clouds’ eyes turned red with envy.

Zhen Hong’s face fell, somewhat depressed: “I regret not choosing to be a mage and instead chose a warrior, otherwise I would now… sigh!” His myriad of words became a long sigh.

A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated stopped recording and asked Su Yu: “Should I post the video on the forum now?”

“Post it.” Su Yu waved his hand: “Posting it will definitely ignite everyone’s passion for leveling up. The more such videos, the better. You guys should record more in the future.”

“Okay.” A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated nodded, logged into the official forum and posted. The title of his post was — “Zhen Hong and Shepherd in the Clouds’ First Time (Misleading)”.

Such a sensational title immediately attracted the attention of a large number of players.

A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated was already one of the most well-known players in the game, as well as the only [Martial Artist] in over four months since the server opened. Often posting videos of the Pandamen Empire’s customs and culture in the forum, he had up to 120 million followers in the official forum.

The strange…title immediately attracted all the eyes in the forum.

…

But after watching the video, the players found that they had been tricked, as the video did not contain any content they had imagined.

However, there was no anger because the actual content of the video was even more sensational than expected!

The video showed Boss Ke shooting Zhen Hong with an assault rifle, and Zhen Hong bore all the damage with his bare body!

Shepherd in the Clouds was also impressive, his Ice Arrow that exploded into an ice flower in the sky made countless players long for such power.

Isn’t this why they had been leveling up day and night? Isn’t it for having the powerful strength to protect themselves and others?

So before long, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated’s video spread like a virus all over the internet, setting off numerous social and chat platforms, including the official forum.

For the next few hours, the players’ basic greetings online were:

“Have you seen the video of A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated?”

“Of course, it’s everywhere on the internet.”

“What do you think after watching it?”

“I think it’s too awesome! I also want to hurry up and level up to 50 and materialize my strength!”

“Want to do it together?”

“Let’s go! Tonight I want to drop dead in the leveling zone!”

…

The heat of the video greatly stimulated players’ passion for leveling.

Originally, leveling up, particularly in areas with random monster spawns was a grueling task. To stay in one place for 12 hours a day mechanically killing monsters was as boring as a worker on an assembly line (though, it’s a bit less dull for a player team as they can chat).

But after the video was released, no one thought leveling up and grinding monsters boring.

Players eagerly headed to leveling zones, striving to reach the level 50 goal. The leveling areas and major task areas were full and buzzing.

A nationwide frenzy of leveling up kicked off.
