“I had to! Although their bodies in the underworld were made from Yin energy, when their souls return to their rightful bodies, it inflicts some small side-effects to the mind, which of course, will subside after resting for two hours.”
Bei Li’s reply left Lu Wu speechless, then his lips curved into a smile as he caressed Bei Li’s head, “You are the best gift my ancestor has ever left for me!”
Bei Li blushed deeply at this, drawing back her head rather shyly.
“Oh right, will the level of the players decline after their bodies made from Yin energy disperse?”
Lu Wu suddenly thought of the key issue. It would be pitiful for the players to lose all their hard work of upgrading their levels when all of it would be lost when they accidentally die.
“Of course not, the soul power will back them up. I have changed the settings of the artifact so that when a player dies, the soul power in them will not be erased. It will be saved into the server of Battle Online and when the player respawns, they will automatically be sent to a new body.”
Lu Wu never thought that this matter would have crossed Bei Li’s mind. He picked up Bei Li excitedly and gave her a big kiss, “Haha, you’re outstanding!”
Bei Li was dazed by that kiss, and seemed as if she was going to collapse at any moment. When Lu Wu saw this, he laughed out loud once more.
At that moment, the artifact continuously gave out signals:
From the messages, there were ten or more players in total that had registered into server. Lu Wu was left astounded.
With Wang Damang’s persuasion, a few of his teammates put on their headset and chose the Battle Online game icon. They were fully prepared to prove their friend wrong.
What came after was them experiencing the same shock as Wang Damang when he first entered the game.
The realistic graphics had left them in stunned silence. After choosing the character classes that they favored, all of them received the same quest that Wang Damang had.
A series of exclamations followed as they stared at the clothes on their bodies and the scenery that surrounded them, leaving them with no words.
“Damn, this game is really cool, which company would cook up such a big move? The gaming industry should be prepared to be swept away by this!”
“This really is cool, but I feel that my 10,000 gold coins are getting further away from me! I vaguely wanted to exit this game, but I changed my mind.”
After the big discussion, they hurriedly prepared the group to explore the game.
Wang Damang’s heart was filled with resentment when he thought of the remaining one and a half hours to his respawning, he felt like giving the creator a taste of his fist for setting up such a rule.
Meanwhile, the ten or more players were happily containing two Wandering Souls in the game.
Chen Ziyu, “Dear brothers, let me have these two. I’ve already killed eight of them, let me finish my quest and help increase our team’s strength.”
Wang Chao, “Get lost, I already have three in my hands. Do you know how to play by the rules? Or would you like to be punished instead?”
Xu Qiqi, “Since I am the only female on this team, can my dear brothers let me have them?”
The others were indifferent to her pleading, as each of them wanted to increase their own individual strength. They were not so easily tempted by the words of a beautiful face.
The team started quarreling for the two Wandering Souls.
But in the end, it was Chen Ziyu, the strongest player of the team, who had gotten his hands on the two Wandering Souls. Two black lines suddenly emerged from the dead Wandering Souls and made their way into his body.
His experience bar began shooting up.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have leveled up, gained 2 strength.]
[Ding!, Congratulations, you have completed the quest, gained 5 soul coins.]
According to the settings made by Bei Li, whenever a player killed a creature, the soul power within the creature would be separated into three portions.
60% of it would be added to the player’s experience. 10% of it would be kept in the player’s inventory as soul coins. And the remaining 30% would be collected by the artifact as Lu Wu’s private income.
In about half an hour, the players had killed a total of thirty Wandering Souls. Each Wandering Soul would give 3 soul coins to the player, while the remaining 27 soul coins would go to Lu Wu. But among those remaining coins, five had gone to Chen Ziyu as a reward.
Lu Wu willingly made these investments without regrets, because as the players got stronger and stronger, their kills would naturally improve. Thus, his income would eventually increase along with it.
“Damn, I can feel myself getting stronger!” Chen Ziyu was staring at his body in awe, as if he was having a hard time accepting it.
Xu Qiqi, “What do you mean, Brother Yu? Isn’t it normal for you to be stronger after leveling up?”
Chen Ziyu was silent for a moment, “This game is really scary. When you level up in other games, your attributes will be increased, but you won’t feel any changes in your body. Instead, you’ll only find that the damages you inflict on the creature will have increased. When you level up in this game, though, you can really feel your body growing stronger, this is incredible!”
Xueli, “Impossible, that’s bullshit. Are you saying that we can experience having actual superpowers in this game?”
Chen Ziyu nodded, “I feel that it’s really possible. The power that is impossible to be possessed in reality can be experienced in a game, this is absolutely incredible.”
Wang Chao could no longer contain himself from saying, “We’ll talk later, the next person that’s going to level up is going to be me.”
“Get lost!” all of them raged in unison.
