"Ding... Character created successfully. It has been detected that you possess super skills in your body. Do you wish to use them?"
"Super skills? Is it the Eternal Meditation!"
Ye Laoxie was taken aback. He hadn't expected that the technique he had secretly downloaded would be detected!
"Yes. Do you wish to use it?"
"Ah... use it!"
If he didn't use super skills, he'd truly be a blockhead. Having techniques before even entering the game—that was incredibly cool.
It was just that Ye Laoxie didn't know—this game had actually been invaded by Liu Che's system. Otherwise, what he was hearing should have been the voice of customer service, not this mechanical tone.
Simply put, the current system was now under the influence of divine power. So there would be some reasonable BUGs.
For example—Ye Laoxie arrived at Novice Village. He skillfully opened his character panel.
[Level]: 0
[Occupation]: Eternal God Faith — Priest
[Task]: Develop the religion! (Reward: Part I of God-level Body Technique. Punishment: If the task cannot be completed within ten days, the character will be automatically deleted—and in reality, a body part will be lost.)
His base attributes were all set at 20.
However, this terrifying task made Ye Laoxie both love and hate it. The rewards were generous, but the punishment was absolutely absurd. Ten days to establish a religion. There was also the matter of recruiting believers. It felt like he was being forced onto a bandit mountain!
"It seems this is the gods' punishment... Forget it. Let's get ready to fight monsters..."
Ye Laoxie sighed inwardly and began playing the game properly.
Why had he gone and called himself a scumbag? If he hadn't chosen that ID in the first place, it wouldn't have come to this. Come on—try to clear Novice Village within five days. Otherwise, time truly wouldn't be enough.
Fortunately, the gods had treated him well. His attributes were double those of a normal player. It was estimated that many people would think he was using cheats.
Ye Laoxie wandered around the village and accepted every task available. Some people even spotted him from a distance and proactively handed over their tasks.
This made Ye Laoxie very happy.
When he headed outside the village, a rooster respawned before him.
[Angry Rooster]: Level 1, HP 60.
"Suffer!"
Ye Laoxie swung his wooden sword and stabbed forward.
The newborn chicken exploded instantly.
"Ding... Congratulations on killing a monster! Rewarding 100 experience points. Triggering hundredfold increase—congratulations on gaining 10,000 experience points."
"Ding... Congratulations on leveling up."
White light lit up on him five times in a row.
In other words—he had been promoted directly to level five!
"What the hell is wrong with this guy? Why did he kill a chicken and jump straight to level five?!"
"No idea!"
"Absolute cheating!!! Damn it... Didn't they say there were no cheats anymore?"
"You idiot, this is a holographic game—how would there be cheats? What's wrong with your head?!"
"Then why did this guy level up to five?!"
In the face of everyone's inquiries, the onlooker was stunned for a while, and finally said: "This is probably a closed beta player."
"Give me a break—closed beta? Ghost's closed beta!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Laoxie's body. One after another, detection techniques were cast at him.
As a result, every single one returned a failure sound.
A joke.
Ye Laoxie was shrouded in divine art. Even a level 100 detection technique couldn't see his information.
At this moment, Ye Laoxie was so surprised that he could still play a game like this—it was truly cool. A strange hundredfold experience increase. No—his own attack must have been doubled as well. Otherwise, it definitely wouldn't have been like this!
He recalled the image of the rooster bursting apart in an instant. Ye Laoxie struck with a spirit, and at this moment he finally understood the horror of the gods' power.
Then, when he observed his character panel again, he noticed a window in the upper right corner.
It read:
[Ten Thousand Realms Chat Group]
And below the chat window, there was a settings button labeled: Feng Ling Yueying.
"Feng Ling Yueying? What's that?"
Ye Laoxie was not surprised by the appearance of the Ten Thousand Realms Chat Group—after all, the gods' power could toggle anything on. Nothing was impossible.
When he activated Feng Ling Yueying, a beep sounded in his ears.
"Ding... Congratulations on acquiring the cult trait plug-in [Feng Ling Yueying — Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Double Multiplier]. Activating this system will make you invincible within this game."
"Ding... Friendly reminder: the world you are currently in is not a pure game world. Certain things can be brought into this world!"
"Ding... It has been detected that there is an artifact on your chest. It is currently damaged and requires a great deal of magical repairs."
"Ding... It is detected that there is a spirit residing within your artifact. Do you wish to destroy it?"
"No... don't destroy it!"
Ye Laoxie panicked. He hadn't expected this Feng Ling Yueying plug-in to be so sharp.
He quickly lowered his head and grabbed at his neck. A strange long sword materialized in his hand.
He checked its properties.
It truly was incomplete—shattered in places. But the spirit inside it was still alive.
Because of the large number of people nearby, Ye Laoxie had no choice but to take his weapon and head to a valley to level up in private.
As a result, a single swing triggered a tenfold attack multiplier. The monkey he struck was blown apart instantly.
Countless experience points gathered within his body.
Yes—Ye Laoxie didn't actually need to level up. But experience points could be used to strengthen his Eternal Meditation cultivation.
[Name]: Eternal Meditation. [Level]: The system cannot distinguish. [Effect]: The system cannot distinguish.
Things that even the system couldn't check made Ye Laoxie extremely happy. It showed that the system couldn't sanction him.
He hated plug-ins. But when he could open one himself, "cheat" wasn't even the right word for how cool it was.
In the next three hours, Ye Laoxie killed all the monsters in Novice Village like a bulldozer. The respawn rate simply couldn't keep up with the rate of slaughter.
Valley, riverside—wherever he went to kill, he became the public enemy of every player present.
"Someone help! Can anyone punish this guy?! We can't even kill a single pheasant. He's stealing all the good drops!"
"Customer service is completely overwhelmed. They say his attributes check out... I'm so annoyed!"
"It's okay, brother. Don't get angry. He's killed so many monsters—he must be at least level ten by now. He'll be able to leave Novice Village soon enough!"
That made sense. After all, so many monsters had been killed by him alone. The experience should indeed be more than enough.
But Ye Laoxie didn't level up—his attributes simply kept stacking.
"Ding... Your technique has been improved. Strength +1."
"Ding... Your technique has been improved. Speed +1."
Four hours later, Ye Laoxie was tired of killing. He smiled at the group of eager players: "Go ahead and kill the monsters yourselves. Brother is tired!"
At this moment, even the toughest guy would cry. It wasn't easy!
At this point, Ye Laoxie's attributes were:
Strength: 2,000 Speed: 2,000 Life: 100,000
This was already more than enough to kill at least level 40 monsters in seconds.
White outfit. No equipment whatsoever. It wasn't that he hadn't picked any up—the monsters had all been chopped to pieces before they could drop anything. No way around it.
Gold coins, however, had accumulated to 1 million. Yes—gold coins. A monster could drop at most one copper, but with his hundredfold increase, the gold coin drop rate was hundredfold as well.
After returning to the village, Ye Laoxie found the village chief and said directly: "Mr. Village Chief, do you want to join my sect?"
"Sorry, we all have our own beliefs here. We don't want to join your sect!"
"Really? Someone with strength like mine could lead you all out of Novice Village in the future!"
Ye Laoxie said, unwilling to give up. Recruiting players—he wasn't sure he had that kind of pull. But for NPCs, words could do the trick.
What Ye Laoxie was thinking was: kidnap the entire Novice Village and turn it into his missionary ground.
Now that was cool.
"Although you have some strength, young man, the world out there is still very dangerous. I advise you to give up your sect and believe in the God of Creation..."
Before the village chief could finish, Ye Laoxie's body lit up with a terrifying aura.
He was getting ready to do it.
Since the village chief didn't want to join his sect—let him be killed!
The sudden burst of power stunned the village chief.
"What are you trying to do?!"
"Since the village chief has rejected the gift of God, then I will have to kill you!"
Ye Laoxie said indifferently.
As it turned out, the moment his words left his mouth, the village chief instantly dropped to his knees.
"I join your sect! Just please—don't kill anyone!"
"Huh... you surrendered that fast!"
The village chief was covered in a cold sweat. He was the chief of a Novice Village, after all. Although he believed in the God of Creation, he was also very much afraid of death. Joining the sect was fine anyway.
Then Ye Laoxie established a sect under the system's prompts. A red notification spread across the entire server.
[Ding... Player "Priest of Eternal God" has created the Eternal God Faith!]
[Ding... Player "Priest of Eternal God" has created the Eternal God Faith!]
...
Ten messages in a row. It stunned everyone.
Afterward, the village chief received the Eternal Meditation. His original attribute order broke through, and he even grew a little taller.
"This... is this the power of God?"
"Yes, Lord Village Chief. Now you understand how well I've treated you..."
"Well, it's better to be a high priest!"
The two spoke in perfect harmony.
All the nearby players were taken aback. Unexpectedly, just over four hours in, the big shot who had created a religion was standing right in front of them.
"From today on, if you want to get out of Novice Village, you must become a believer! Otherwise, you'll be reincarnated into other areas!"
Ye Laoxie, having recruited the village chief, roared this out with vigor.
He thought no one would respond—but it attracted countless people to join.
On that day, over 100,000 people joined his sect. The development of the religion was unprecedentedly fast.
After a long time, Ye Laoxie returned to reality.
An extremely cute little girl appeared in front of him and said timidly: "Master, please don't sacrifice me... Xiaoguo doesn't want to be a sacrifice..."
As a smart little creature, she had actually woken up a long time ago. But because of the master's power, she had been too frightened to emerge from the artifact. It was only now, when the divine power expelled her outward, that she finally appeared.
