Chapter 137 - the highest difficulty level

“Yes!”

Compared to the others, Ling Yi was more aware of the advantages he had when fighting on God’s Path.

In addition to [Starfall], he could also use [Aeolus’ Call] to his heart’s content. With the deserts, plains, and forests around him, he no longer had to worry about destroying the buildings in the main world.

For a “Mage” like him, who had a large area of effect attack, fighting in the main world was really restricting him in every aspect.

He turned to look at the clock on the wall and saw that there were still a few minutes before eight. He couldn’t help but ask Lin Shurou, “Do you want to transfer to my district? If you want to, you can only do it now.”

Lin Shurou lowered her head and pondered for a while. Then, she nodded, “Okat, I’ll transfer. But, I won’t be going with you. I’ll take the risk myself. Don’t come to me if you have nothing to do.”

She did not want to be a burden to him.

She didn’t want anyone to find out 01’s real identity through her.

“… Alright.”

God’s Path was a place for women to be protected.

So, Ling Yi just let her be.

He went to the Event Store and spent 100 Night Stones on a District Transfer Card, then quickly handed it to her.

[District Transfer Card]: Allows the user to transfer to another district of the same level.

So players whose districts were still on beginner maps could only be transferred to other beginner maps, while players whose districts were on the intermediate maps could only be transferred to intermediate maps, and so on.

Very quickly, eight o’clock arrived and the two of them entered God’s Path together!

Players from the main world would randomly appear at a certain location in the camp when they came to God’s Path.

Therefore, even if they entered the camp side by side in the main world, they might be teleported to the east and west when they arrived at the camp. There was no pattern to speak of.

It was also at this moment when the district’s difficulty option appeared in front of all the players.

[Difficulty Options]

1. Normal Mode

[The level of the monsters on the main road remains the same, and Mission Reward remains the same.]

2. Hard Mode

[Main road’s monsters level +10, double Mission Reward]

3. Nightmare Mode

[Main road’s monsters level +20, triple the Mission Reward]

[Prompt: Please vote for a difficulty level. After you choose a difficulty level, until the end of the mission, the monsters on the main road will be strengthened accordingly.]

[Prompt: A second mission might appear during this mission period. Please choose carefully!]

When the players saw the three levels of difficulty, they all had different expressions. Some were shocked, some were confused, and some were excited…

“Heavens! Who knew a Super Event will have its own first big event! It seems like this huge event won’t last for more than three months like before.”

“That’s right. In the past, we’ve always delayed for so long to collect divine artifacts. This time, I estimate that it will be over in less than two months.

“What difficulty are we going to choose?”

“The third one, of course!”

“Why do you say that?”

“What’s everyone’s level? Can you take the main road? And besides we could let 01 fight. As long as he passes, we will get Night Stones and high-grade Night Stones as well. And if we choose the third difficulty, we will get 1,500 Night Stones and 3 high-grade Night Stones!”

“Oh, right!”

The players in District 66 didn’t know if they should be happy or sad.

The situation in their district was special.

Although they had reached an intermediate map, more than 99% of the players were still around level 10. A small number of higher leveled players were probably at level 13 or 14.

The higher ones were the players who had transferred over.

These low-level players knew that the event only lasted for 10 days, and it was basically impossible for them to reach the main road within that period of time anyway.

So it won’t affect them as much even if they chose the third option.

As Ling Yi absorbed the constantly jumping emotion points, he listened to the discussions of the people around him and laughed heartlessly.

He clicked on it and chose the third difficulty.

Not long after that, the difficulty of District 66 was determined.

[More than half of the players in this district have chosen Nightmare Mode.]

[The mission’s difficulty is confirmed to be: Nightmare Mode.]

[Main road’s monsters level +20]

The main road monsters referred to all the monsters on the main road, including Elite Monsters, Leader Monsters, and Beast King.

Seeing that the mission difficulty had been confirmed, Ling Yi didn’t dawdle any longer.

He got up and flew towards the main road.

However, the closer he got to the sixth stage, the darker the sky became, and the more humid the air was.

After crossing the Golden Altar and passing through a forest that was a hundred meters high, the area in front of them was pouring with rain.

[Current Area: Skeleton Corps (sixth checkpoint of the main road)]

[Monster Information: Skeleton Soldier (Lv50-LV55), Skeleton Archer (Lv50-LV55), Skeleton Mage (Lv50-LV55), Skeleton General (LV55, Leader)]

Then heavy rain poured down.

Ling Yi stood on higher ground and created an updraft around him to avoid the rain.

He lowered his head and looked towards the area below. What he saw was a vast, flat yellow-brown land.

Through the rain, he could see huge blood-stained tents set up. Even from the pouring water, the blood didn’t wash away from them.

Boom!

Thunder rumbled in the dark clouds, and lightning occasionally shone between the sky and the earth.

Not all checkpoints on the main road had clear skies. For example, the checkpoint at the Skeleton Corps will always rain.

Ling Yi wasn’t in a hurry to attack. Instead, he turned his head and looked elsewhere.

He was not the only one standing here.

On the contrary, there were hundreds of players he had never seen before.

Some sat on the shoulders of 30-meter-tall mud Giants, some stood in the air with their arms crossed with their teammates, and some were hidden in the black fog, their figures barely visible.

These people were all watching him.

He heard their voices through the wind.

…

“That blurry figure must be 01. Who wants to go over and test him?”

“Can’t we make a decision after we see his combat strength?”

“Let’s be fully prepared before we attack. We came to this district specifically to kill him. We can’t let him notice us before we act.

These were the few people who stood in the air with their arms crossed.

…

“Wow, I’m finally able to see this legendary figure up close. Is he really as powerful as the rumors say?”

“After defeating two Beast Kings, he definitely has the strength for it. However, as for his elemental combat power, who knows.”

“He is definitely a Hidden Dragon. I’ll go and make friends with him later.”

…

“01 is in danger. I heard that many foreign organizations have sent their powerhouses to this area to deal with him.”

“He’s only ranked first in the regional ranking between 30 and 39. Most of these people are powerful beings in the regional ranking between level 50 and 59. He’s in a very dangerous situation.”

“Hehe, I’m also an expert on the list. If I were to help him at the critical moment, this legendary figure would have to thank me.”

…

It was obvious.

The people who had transferred to his district were generally divided into two types.

One was specially made to deal with him.

These people had a high level and strong combat power. They were well-organized and had plans, so he had to be careful.

The other type came because of his fame, with the intention of making friends and other ideas they wanted to do.

He didn’t need to care or worry about those kinds of people.

Ling Yi glanced at everyone present, thinking that it would be troublesome for them to be there. At the same time, he was ready to start the battle.

‘I’ll scare them with a [Starfall] with a diameter of 40 kilometers~’

Ling Yi raised his hand to the sky and whispered softly, “[Starfall]!”

When the surrounding people saw his actions, they couldn’t help but look up at the sky.
