"Huaxia Jiang Kai!"
"Jiang Kai, sorry, we were too impulsive earlier!"
"Jiang Kai, no need to say anything, awesome!"
Jiang Kai looked around in surprise. At this moment, the surrounding onlookers, the soldiers guarding the Endless Abyss—every single person was looking at him with excitement.
Luo Ping, Hua Tianchen, and Tian Feng—the three generals—walked to Jiang Kai.
Luo Ping smiled slightly, "Huaxia Jiang Kai, did you hear that? From now on, your name will be prefixed with the name of the country. This honor, even the three of us have never enjoyed."
Hua Tianchen patted Jiang Kai on the shoulder, "Good lad, with the strength of one person, you suppressed the experts of a hundred nations. Truly worthy of being a child of Huaxia!"
Tian Feng smiled and nodded at Jiang Kai, "I didn't expect I could personally witness the birth of a miracle. On the Heaven Ranking, not only is Huaxia's name there, but we also suppressed the other countries and forcefully took the top spot! Kid, you're amazing!"
Although Jiang Kai had never joined the military, he always had a good impression of the military and deeply admired these War Gods who defended the people of Huaxia against the Beast Gods.
Being recognized by them, Jiang Kai couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"Hua God, Luo God, Tian God, being given the national name, I really don't deserve it, it's just that I was lucky."
"Oh, getting humble now? You looked like a real tough guy during the gambling match." Luo Ping laughed.
"Hey, that depends on who you're facing. Some people, if you're not tough on them, they'll think about how to bully you. You definitely can't go soft on people like that." Jiang Kai scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"Hahahaha, that makes sense too. Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself." Hua Tianchen laughed, "Right, we've been wanting to find you for a while. Now that you've just cleared the Endless Abyss, we're wondering if you'd be willing to share your insights, as well as the rewards… oh, and the process of discovering the ruins."
Jiang Kai thought for a moment, then nodded, "No problem."
Jiang Kai raised his head, and in the crowd, he saw the person who had stirred up trouble earlier.
At this moment, amidst the cheers of the others, he lowered his head, looking gloomy and colorless.
Jiang Kai snorted coldly, then said to Luo Ping, "This person…"
Luo Ping noticed Jiang Kai's gaze and immediately responded, "Mm, don't worry, we'll investigate it thoroughly for you."
......
Ghost Star Global Forum, previously very low-key Huaxia players, completely launched a counterattack against players from all nations!
Interestingly, when Jiang Kai cleared the second layer, Huaxia players weren't this excited. It wasn't until now, when Jiang Kai cleared the third layer, that the counterattack began.
Maybe it's because when Jiang Kai cleared the second layer, many nationals still doubted his first-layer record. But Jiang Kai's third-layer result was very close to the 27-second record.
That's basically another proof that Jiang Kai could clear the Endless Abyss within one minute.
This way, the 27 seconds of the first layer got verified.
A large number of earlier posts mocking Huaxia were bumped up for public shaming.
"All foreigners come in, let me ask you something, don't you even have a single person who can fight? Still calling us the sick men of East Asia? In front of the Huaxia Dragon, you don't even qualify to carry Jiang Kai's shoes."
"Sorry, just the third layer result, sigh, I'll go back and ask Jiang Kai, why was his performance so poor this time."
"To the brother who said he'd eat shit, please tell us the live stream address, I'll provide the ingredients, and there's plenty to go around!"
"Sigh, islanders, weren't you the ones shouting the loudest before? What's your best record again? Show it off and let us learn from it."
Faced with the fierce assault of Huaxia players, players from all over the world who had mocked Huaxia earlier all began calling for rational posting.
"Jiang Kai's performance is indeed quite outstanding, but I think the whole world is now working hard to develop Ghost Star. He should step forward and share some of his experience to promote global progress."
"What foreigners or not, we're all Earthlings, we should get along and benefit mutually."
"Our Country E hasn't even activated the Endless Abyss yet. As outsiders, I don't care about your competition. I just want to know, where's that shit-eating post!"
......
Jiang Kai followed the three generals to the military garrison.
This was his first time entering the Huaxia military headquarters.
After arriving at the conference room, Tian Feng had already summoned people from the data department and some War Gods from the War God Hall.
"Jiang Kai, tell us in detail about your abnormal states in the three layers, the beast's buff states, and how you broke through, as well as your strength increase across the layers."
Jiang Kai nodded and gave a rough explanation of the situation.
Of course, he didn't go into detail about the kill process, only generally described his strategy.
"Overall, the strength of the beasts is equivalent to elite-level beasts, but the two powerful buffs greatly increased their strength, so killing them was indeed difficult."
"After finishing the first layer, there's a holy water pool that restores status, which can quickly recover exhaustion and heal injuries."
"Oh?" Hua Tianchen followed up, "So your total time spent is much longer than the challenge time."
Jiang Kai nodded and seriously shared what he had learned, "I took two baths in there, which used up some time. The system will urge you to leave, but it's not too strict. You can rest in there a bit longer, and it won't interfere."
Pfft—just as he said this, Tian Feng had just taken a sip of water and immediately spat it out.
"You went to the Endless Abyss to take a bath?" Tian Feng wiped his mouth and looked at Jiang Kai in shock.
But seeing Jiang Kai's face of complete naturalness, Tian Feng understood—he had asked a redundant question.
"Alright, go on. About the difficulty of the third layer, what's your impression?"
Jiang Kai thought for a bit and said, "The strength of the third-layer beasts actually didn't increase that much. I estimate that in terms of base stats, they're about 20–25% stronger than those in the first layer. The increase is still acceptable."
"20% increase… and you call that not much?" A data analyst couldn't help but complain.
"Oh, and one more thing, if two of the same abnormal states appear, they will fuse into a higher-level abnormal state."
"In the third layer, I got two 'tainted blood' effects, which merged into one 'corrosive blood.' The effect is losing 15% stamina and 15% spirit per second, wounds can't heal, can't use special attacks, can't use elemental attacks."
Everyone present looked at Jiang Kai in shock.
Luo Shen finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Under this condition, how did you clear it?"
Jiang Kai said, "It was really close. Under such a condition, you have to one-shot the mobs, or you can't pass!"
"My Deception Substitute—you should know it—can absorb energy. I used one to kill a beast, and for the other, I was forced to use other life-saving methods."
Everyone listened, dumbfounded.
One-shotting beasts—why does it sound so easy when Jiang Kai says it? Clearing the level under such conditions is simply incredible!
Luo Shen nodded, "Although Jiang Kai didn't provide detailed stats of the beasts, we can roughly estimate the difficulty increase of the later layers."
"Jiang Kai, you're not short of money anymore—you could change your watch."
Jiang Kai looked at his 'Fearless' and shook his head.
He still couldn't bear to change the Fearless—after all, it was bought by his big brother and sister.
"Right, what about the rewards?" Hua Tianchen asked.
Jiang Kai immediately took out three cards from his card pouch.
"There's only one reward per layer," Jiang Kai said. "The first-layer reward is 5 kilograms of Moonlight Stone. I've appraised it—it can't be cashed out. It can raise the quality of one piece of equipment below Extraordinary and up to top-grade by one level."
"It's actually Moonlight Stone—a stone that directly upgrades equipment quality. It's very in demand on the market." Tian Feng nodded.
But everyone present was seasoned, and though Moonlight Stone was a good item to them, it wasn't considered supreme.
"The second one—5 kilograms of Golden Crow Stone. Can be cashed out, can be used to make real-world equipment, or can replace one special effect of equipment below level 6 Extraordinary and exclusive level."
At this point, the eyes of the War Gods from the War God Hall changed.
"It's actually Golden Crow Stone?! Our military stock doesn't even have 100 kg of that!"
"Second layer already gives Golden Crow Stone?"
Jiang Kai then took out the third reward.
"Third one, Star Fragment Dust. Can be cashed out. Increases the chance of gaining a high-level talent when breaking through to Extraordinary from level four. This item only drops from the Endless Abyss—every three layers awards 5 grams."
When Jiang Kai took out this item, everyone in the meeting room—all the powerful War Gods—was shocked by the effect of Star Fragment Dust!
For a long while, Hua Tianchen muttered, "My god, such an item actually exists!"
"The appearance of the Endless Abyss and the emergence of Star Fragment Dust may trigger a global revolution!"
It seems that the development of the Endless Abyss will only become more intense in the future!
Fortunately, Jiang Kai provided this key information—at least Huaxia now understands the significance of the Endless Abyss.
Taking a deep breath, Luo Shen said, "Jiang Kai, tell us the process of how you discovered the hidden Goddess Ruins."
"Well…" Jiang Kai looked a bit troubled. "Actually, it was a coincidence. I ran about 300 to 400 meters underground into the lair of a King-tier Gold-Eating Worm Beast."
Clatter! A tea cup in the hands of one War God shattered into pieces on the floor.
"King-tier Gold-Eating Worm Beast?!" That person looked at Jiang Kai in shock, "My god, Jiang Kai, are you trying to scare us to death?!"
