Monsters Are Coming

The sense of desolation brought by the passage of time assaults him.

But his journey through the Death Space is clearly not over yet.

He is now an Elite Jile Warrior, having broken free from the constraints of the trial test, he can lead a squad to carry out missions in the Monster World as given by the Jile Clan.

He can even apply for independent actions beyond the mission requirements.

In terms of rewards, the Lord of Jile will provide additional subsidies.

This time, being transported to the Curse Origin Scene, the Jile Main God (one of the 32 Gods of the Jile Clan) requires obtaining 15 pieces of low-level Source Crystals.

To crack the curse scene, the Jile Main God provided a strategy.

This was obviously one of the intelligence pieces the Lord of Jile secretly gathered while observing the Monster World years ago.

But as a legitimate player, he actually has a simpler way to break the curse.

It’s just that this method is not easy to display.

After all, the Jile Main God might be observing in secret, and any overly outrageous behavior could easily reveal a problem.

The mission was proceeding in an orderly manner.

After becoming an elite player, the way the Jile Main God issues tasks has changed, and this task given was not difficult.

What surprised him was that he actually met a "fellow countryman" in this scene.

It is often said that when going out, beware of your fellow countrymen.

He applied this concept, playing the role of a vicious fellow countryman.

Instead of breaking the curse according to the Lord of Jile’s strategy, it was better to snatch the rewards that the fellow countryman easily obtained using cheats.

With the task now completed, it was time for them to leave.

"Boss, continue the mission or head back?" asked the Black Snake, putting away her sniper rifle, the poison stinger weapon in her hand dissolving instantly, transforming into a liquid that adhered to her body.

The gale lifted Black Snake’s long hair, and as she lifted her gaze towards Yang Xiu, her emotions were hidden within the limpid autumn water of her eyes, a gentle upturn of her mouth betrayed a trace of tenderness inadvertently exposing her innermost feelings.

Yang Xiu naturally understood what the Black Snake was thinking.

But his choice was to evade.

As a legitimate player, he was destined not to be on the same path as these Bliss Players.

Over the past half year, he sometimes felt confused.

There would come a time to leave in the future, but what about these brothers who had been through life and death with him?

"Boss, I suggest we camp out, these Player Clan members aren’t particularly strong, we can continue to seize additional rewards while they try to break the curse," the Stone Statue, eyes gleaming with bloodlust, suggested in a deep voice.

"Let’s head back," Yang Xiu said without nonsense or explanation, directly giving the command.

The teammates nodded upon hearing, understanding that the boss must have his reasons.

Arriving at the teleportation point on the building’s rooftop, the teammates followed Yang Xiu and entered one after another.

The Array was instantly activated, and Yang Xiu and his teammates were enveloped in black light, disappearing from the original site after a short while.

A prompt rang in Yang Xiu’s mind:

[Elite assessment completed, score calculation: ..., Jile Points reward obtained: 23849.]

A weightlessness sensation hit, and when Yang Xiu’s vision cleared again, he found he had returned to the Death Space scene.

After becoming an elite Jile player, the Death Space scene also changed accordingly.

The buildings in the scene became more elusive, and the Bliss Players who appeared here were all those who had passed the Ultimate Trial and could freely go to the Monster World.

At this moment, a number of elite Bliss Players were setting up stalls in front of the teleportation point, selling special items acquired from the Monster World.

Yang Xiu led the team through the street of stalls, heading straight towards the Guide standing by the Strengthening Tablet.

"Let’s enhance first, then regroup to discuss the next task."

Having instructed the teammates on the next itinerary, Yang Xiu stood before the black tablet, and the purchasable goods interface automatically appeared in his mind.

The interface showed his remaining points at 39438.

Upon selecting the Bloodline Store, the relevant items were listed in his mind:

Erosion Star Sand (Growth Type)​

...

As a legitimate player, in the Death Space, enhancement selection is virtually unrestricted.

After all, the primary purpose is for points.

What to enhance is not important; converting points into sacrificial power that can be settled upon death is key.

Nevertheless, as the leader of the Life Soul Squad, Yang Xiu feels his journey in the Death Space is far from over.

He still wants to accompany his teammates further.

So, every enhancement is carefully considered, from the perspective of improving the team’s overall strength.

He serves as the Wisdom in the team, and also acts as a close combat assassin.

Thus, when selecting, he reviews bloodlines that suit his combat style.

His gaze switches among different bloodline introduction details.

Ultimately, he opts for the Mirage Body, which requires 39,000 points for primary enhancement.

This bloodline’s characteristic allows the body to mist, somewhat resembling the "Dusk Shadow" Life Soul Trait in the Player System.

But Dusk Shadow is merely a Life Soul, compatible with other Life Soul Characteristics.

Meanwhile, there is clear wording in the Bloodline Store that each Bliss Player can only choose one type of bloodline for enhancement, and after enhancement, it cannot be compatible with other bloodlines.

If found unsuitable in the future, it is nevertheless possible to spend points to alter the bloodline.

However, the alteration entails a risk of probabilistic death, with an extremely high risk, typically over 50% probability of death.

This is also why bloodline enhancement requires careful choice.

Having made his selection, Yang Xiu mentally touches upon confirmation, and the points balance is automatically deducted.

The black tablet emits light, enveloping his body.
