The players chasing Qing Chen are no longer just from the two major guilds, but also countless independent cultivators, numbering nearly two thousand.
A shaman player in the crowd roared, "All shamans, come and pray! Take turns giving everyone a speed boost! Each person gets ten minutes of buffs, I don't believe we can't catch up with him!"
The Shaman's Blood Dance Blessing has a time limit, and one person can't cast it for too long. So, Shaman players suddenly united, like fighting a boss in a dungeon, with someone even giving the command...
Then, several players with blood-red markings on their faces began to sing in the crowd, and all the players were surrounded by swirling blue light, increasing their speed by a full 20%.
Qingchen stopped harvesting and ran straight into the woods.
Among the crowd behind, an A-rank shadow assassin from the Phoenix Guild was mingling, his eyes fixed on Qing Chen's back.
Amidst the clamor of the crowd, the shadow assassin stealthily moved to the edge of the crowd and vanished into the darkness, instantly accelerating.
He wanted to get in front of this white man and strike when he was most relaxed.
The shadow assassin flickers briefly among the shadows, able to leap from one shadow to another within 10 meters and hide there.
If players don't look closely, they won't notice that there's a person hiding in the shadows of the woods.
Just as Qing Chen was harvesting players, he arrived at the forest even before Qing Chen.
The forest canopy is dense and shady, with aerial roots of large trees hanging down from the branches, allowing only a few rays of sunlight to penetrate through the gaps in the leaves.
The forest and the outside world seem like two different worlds.
Qing Chen ran wildly, and just as he was about to enter the forest, a shadow in the forest moved very slightly, preparing to make a move.
He flashed into the shadows of the forest behind Qing Chen, raising a sharp polymer vibrating dagger high in his right hand.
But before his arm could fall, Qing Chen suddenly stopped as if he had a premonition, and kicked backward like a scorpion's tail, hitting the Shadow Assassin squarely in the chest.
In that instant, Qing Chen displayed powerful body control, completing the sudden stop and kick in one smooth motion, unlike a player who had just been promoted to A-level combatant!
The Shadow Assassin thought to himself, "It's over!"
He crashed into a tree during his backward flight, as if someone had been suddenly kicked out of the dark shadows. Only then did the Shadow Assassin appear in the sight of the other players.
Qing Chen casually unleashed a bolt of lightning.
A-level skill, Thunder God's Wrath!
The lightning, like a pale, five-clawed dragon, snaked down, illuminating the forest and exposing the shadow assassin to everyone's view. He looked bewildered, his body charred black from the lightning strike.
He didn't know how Qing Chen discovered him; his invincible Shadow Backstab had failed before it could even be used.
Qing Chen ran into the forest without looking back. The players behind him caught up with him in their speed boosts. As they passed the shadow assassin's corpse, the corpse was turning into a white beam of experience and flying towards Qing Chen.
"Who was this person who launched the sneak attack?"
"I didn't see it clearly... but he probably wasn't a master. He was defeated in one move. Noob."
This was the last conversation the Shadow Assassin heard. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood after being forcibly logged off by the system!
Meanwhile, there were still people in the forest watching the battle unfold. She was originally prepared to make a move, but she was stunned by Qing Chen's deadly attack and hesitated to act.
She clearly sensed that Qing Chen glanced in her direction as he left, as if he already knew her location.
This female player is Viper, and she is also a Shadow Assassin. However, she felt that if she were to make a move, she would probably be no different from that guild player from before.
This was the first time she had felt such a level of oppression in the superconducting world, as if she were still on the battlefield of the Forbidden Forest, facing the number one warrior of the Giant Dynasty's three armies.
The venomous snake slowly retreated. For some reason, she still preferred to face Hades, that S-class combat master.
Killing the White Light wouldn't have been very beneficial for her, but killing Hades would have made her the new S-class combat master.
In this superconducting world, S-class is limited; it's a battle for supremacy.
To upgrade from A-rank to S-rank, you must replace another S-rank.
Some have said that this is also the current state of the supernatural world, and the number of supernatural beings who are integrated with the world's will is also limited. It's just that humanity has not yet explored that limit.
However, at this very moment, a massive army of skeletons suddenly appeared from the south.
Hades has already killed over a thousand people, and his corresponding number of skeleton soldiers has also reached over a thousand. Once summoned, the skeleton soldiers can exist for seven days, so he is practically invincible in the 8th multiverse.
Hades has gained momentum and is not afraid even when facing the four major guilds.
However, when Hades led his army of skeletons into the forest, he didn't kill any other players. Instead, he asked directly, "Where is the Light of the White?"
A player from the Blackwater Guild pointed deep into the woods: "He ran that way. Look, that's his back."
Hades, riding a skeletal horse, sneered, "So many people chasing one person and they still can't kill him? Let me do it."
The surrounding players cast admiring glances at the S-rank combat master, which Hades enjoyed, but he pretended to be nonchalant.
It was at this moment that Qing Chen turned around and saw the densely packed players and skeleton soldiers, and his scalp tingled.
He was planning to kill these players in the forest, but now even Hades has joined the hunt for him. How can he possibly play like this?
But then Qingchen suddenly changed direction.
One player paused for a moment, then asked, "Wait a minute, why are they running towards the poison circle? Are they trying to carry the poison circle to avoid being chased?"
The poison circle is a place that everyone avoids. If you are even slightly affected, you will feel like you are being stung by scorpions all over your body, and your limbs will gradually become numb.
No matter how skilled a player is, they will surely die if they stay inside for ten minutes.
Now, Qing Chen is doing the opposite, actively entering the poison circle to shake off his pursuers!
They were already very close to the poison circle here. Before the players could catch up with Qingchen, he had already entered the poison circle, moving along the edge of the circle, trying to shake off his pursuers.
However, when the skeleton army arrived, a few skeleton soldiers wielding bows drew their bows to the fullest extent, unleashing a torrential downpour of arrows at Qing Chen.
Qing Chen had no choice but to continue deeper into the poison circle to avoid the ranged attacks.
But the problem is... he suddenly felt that the poison circle didn't seem to be harming him at all.
Moreover, why is the lightning plasma, which was depleted just now because of a powerful attack, still rapidly increasing?
Behind him, some impulsive players followed into the poison circle, their bodies instantly enveloped and pulsating with tiny, bluish arcs of electricity, and within seconds, white smoke began to rise from their bodies.
Qing Chen was stunned. So the principle behind this poison circle... is to electrocute the players?
Isn't this the home ground for all the Thunder mages?
When the AI sent Qingchen here, he only thought it was a place where he could level up quickly. As for whether he could harvest players, that was entirely up to his own abilities.
After all, AI can't give players too much of a cheat code.
But looking back now, Qingchen suddenly realized that the AI's change in attitude this time was beyond imagination; the other party had carefully chosen a home ground for him.
A home court where a Thunder Mage can run rampant!
He can now not only move freely inside the poison circle, but also regenerate mana within it, allowing him to use unlimited skills!
Thinking of this, Qing Chen tried to use an A-level ultimate move, Thunder God's Wrath, on several players in the poison circle. His lightning essence was mostly depleted, but it was full again in just five seconds.
Qing Chen unleashed five or six powerful attacks in quick succession, leaving those players who dared to chase into the poison circle feeling like they were dying.
Now, Qing Chen is using his ultimate skill like a regular skill, and he's really good at it. You should know that the range of Thor's Wrath ultimate skill is 80 meters. He can even stand in the poison circle and shock people without any restraint!
It's utterly despairing for players!
Qing Chen couldn't help but wonder, since the AI's attitude had been very neutral before. What could have caused such a sudden change in the AI's attitude?
Although the AI didn't actually fight alongside him, the opponent was the ruler of the superconducting world, and could easily find the most suitable path for Qingchen with a simple calculation. That was the most practical help he could receive.
So why would the other party do such a big favor?
Chapter 829, Qing Chen's Occupation
Qingchen wondered if the change in the other party's attitude was because of him, or because of Yi.
It must be the function of "一".
So why does this AI have such goodwill towards Yi? Is it really as I guessed?
...That was an extremely terrifying answer.
But regardless, this time AI genuinely helped Qingchen.
It gave Qingchen an almost unbeatable home-field environment, helping him to exploit 9,999 people and achieve a leapfrog development!
At this very moment, people continued to run into the poison circle in an attempt to kill Qing Chen, while Qing Chen threw out A-level ultimate moves as if they were free.
It's made people outside the drug circle numb.
"Why is he unharmed inside the poison circle?!" Players were shocked: "Is he cheating?"
Someone shouted at Qingchen from afar, "Turn it off, it's pointless!"
Someone muttered under their breath, "In the superconducting world, who can cheat? All those who tried to modify plugins on the virtual pod have failed."
At this point, everyone must acknowledge one thing: Multiverse 8 is the home ground for the Thunder Mage class!
In the superconducting world, there are many precedents like this. For example, in the multiverse 172, there is lava everywhere. Others who enter need to find footholds to avoid harm, but fire mages are unaffected by the high temperatures.
Therefore, Multiverse 172 has always been occupied by fire mages as a leveling ground.
For example, in Multiverse 277, apart from one isolated island, it's all seawater. Beneath the seawater lies an extremely fertile, multi-level area where you can gain experience points just by killing a sole or a basa fish...
This place has also been occupied by water mages and sea creatures.
However, it was a long and arduous process for these mages to find their own leveling grounds. But when Qingchen created his character and entered the second multiverse, he found his own home ground!
Is this a coincidence? Or was it premeditated?
But if you say it was premeditated, everyone can clearly feel that Qingchen seems to have only just found out about this. Otherwise, why would he have bothered in the first place? He could have just run into the poison circle when he was being chased by the Phoenix Guild.
Therefore, everyone thinks it's just a coincidence.
But the problem is, what do we do after such a coincidence happens?!
Qingchen stood at the edge of the poison circle, throwing out skills like they were free. One ultimate move could take five or six lives, making the players from the two major guilds suffer terribly.
If the player tries to retaliate, he immediately retreats into the depths of the poison circle.
This behavior infuriated players, who shouted outside, "That's so underhanded!"
"Come out if you dare!"
"Come out here!"
As a result, Qing Chen just wouldn't come out, and whenever the players relaxed their guard even slightly, he would come to the edge of the poison circle, throw a few powerful attacks, and then run away.
