Chapter 189 They say it's a version trap
Moon God Realm.
This is not the elf territory in the game, but a real world with a minimalist style but full of futuristic technology.
Inside a circular architectural space, a soft, moon-white halo of light shone down from the dome, illuminating the tall figures standing around the central conference table.
The woman at the head of the group was none other than Moon Arrow.
In real life, stripped of her divine aura in the game, she looks to be around thirty years old.
Her long silver hair was neatly tied back, and her features were exquisite yet exuded a heroic air.
Compared to her ethereal image in the game, she now wears a well-fitting silver-gray uniform, exuding a more mature charm.
"...That's the situation."
Yue Luoji reported on the recently concluded trip to the Ten Thousand Fox Cave, his tone still carrying the lingering shock.
Around the conference table, several core elders of the Moon Goddess's Radiance looked at each other, their expressions all equally strange.
Moon Arrow's brow furrowed more and more tightly.
Melee mage?
She had suspected before that such an incredible remote sword control technique was not something a warrior-type class should have.
But the mage...
Moon Arrow pulled up the battle footage of Chen You in the Ten Thousand Fox Cave—recorded by Moonfall Base from a first-person perspective.
In the scene, the man didn't even bother to pick up his staff, and simply pointed casually forward at the fox demon.
"Sizzle—"
A thick bolt of purple lightning suddenly appeared out of nowhere, instantly turning the monsters in the fan-shaped area in front of it into charred remains.
There was no chanting, no spellcasting, and not even a post-spell ripple.
Instant cast!
Moon Arrow knows the pain points of spellcasters.
The more powerful the spell, the longer the preparation time and the more pronounced the post-cast freeze.
But what about Chen You?
The speed and fluidity of the attack were so high that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was firing a machine gun.
"Guild Master, is it possible... that this is actually a hidden class we don't know about? Like... a Thunder Mage Swordsman?"
Moonfall carefully offered his guess.
Moon Arrow did not answer, but instead closed the battle footage and brought up another top-secret document.
Document title: Feasibility Analysis Report on the Profession of "Cultivator".
This is an attempt made by all three major races after the introduction of new classes.
They screened hundreds of newcomers, who chose the "Cultivator" profession when entering the Origin Realm.
However, the result was... disastrous.
The report's conclusions are cold and blunt:
"This class has average stats in the early game, with no outstanding advantages. It's not as tanky as a warrior, doesn't have as high damage as a mage, and doesn't have as fast attack speed as an archer. It's like a flawed product that doesn't quite fit the bill."
"The method of obtaining the cultivation technique is unknown, the skills are unusable, and the cost-effectiveness is extremely low."
Overall assessment: Trap class, not recommended to invest any resources.
So, are the "pioneers of immortality" really cultivators?
If cultivators are this abnormal, then what about the hundreds of "cultivation wastes" they train who can't even beat a level 10 wild boar?
Moon Arrow felt a throbbing sensation in his temples.
can't read.
Completely incomprehensible.
"Perhaps our focus right now should be on that new raid instance..." an elder said.
He didn't seem to have much interest in Chen You.
Not only him, but many elders felt that Moon Arrow was giving Chen You too much attention.
In their view, even though Chen You has created many miracles, he is still only level 20.
In the Origin Realm, rank is the only true measure of power.
Once his newbie protection period is over, he will find it very difficult to make any progress if someone is determined to target him.
Moon Arrow took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
"As originally planned, the first, third, and seventh elite regiments will form the main force for pioneering the land."
"All logistical resources should be allocated to them; they must enter the instance as soon as possible."
Her eyes narrowed, and she regained the decisiveness of a guild leader.
"Our goal is to achieve the first kill of the Mythic dungeon."
"Understood!" everyone responded in unison.
……
The source boundary was temporarily shut down for maintenance for about half an hour.
Deep in the Qinling Mountains lies Baiyujing.
This immortal city seems to have become much more subdued in its overall radiance due to the closure of the Origin Realm.
It no longer possesses the ethereal aura of before; instead, it resembles an ancient behemoth quietly lurking among the mountains.
On the east gate tower, Chen You sat cross-legged.
His eyes were closed, his breathing was deep and slow, and a faint aura, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, surrounded him.
Although the Origin Realm is closed, the concentration of spiritual energy in Baiyujing is still much higher than outside.
The Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique is still in operation.
The spiritual energy within his body flowed slowly through his limbs, bones, and meridians.
Each cycle of the body's energy flowed through his body, making him feel that his five senses, strength, and even spirit were being subtly refined.
"It's comfortable..." Chen You thought to himself, "but the efficiency is still a bit worse than the training room."
However, just as his mind sank, an inexplicable impulse erupted within him.
"Um?"
Chen You's heart stirred.
Is this... the Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique about to break through?
Was it that sudden?
He perked up, no longer in the listless state of his previous cultivation, and began to concentrate all his mind, guiding all the spiritual power that was about to erupt within his body.
They launched an attack on that invisible barrier.
……
Meanwhile, at the Qinling Command Center.
The atmosphere was solemn and quiet, with only the sound of keyboard typing and the low hum of instruments.
suddenly--
"Beep! Beep! Beep!—"
The piercing alarm sounded without warning throughout the command center.
On one of the main screens, the graph representing energy fluctuations instantly changed from a flat green line to a violently oscillating red curve!
"Report! A high-intensity energy response has been detected at the A-3 energy monitoring station!"
"Energy source locked! It's...it's the East Gate Tower!"
"Target recognition...it's Comrade Chen You!"
The entire command center instantly descended into chaos.
"Director Li!" Zhang Yunhai's expression was grave. "The situation is unclear. I suggest immediately activating the highest-level emergency response plan and evacuating non-combat personnel from the surface!"
Li Guoan's gaze was fixed on the main screen, and he had already considered a certain possibility.
"Don't panic."
Li Guoan's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a calming power that instantly silenced all the noise in the hall.
He stared at the motionless figure on the screen, his expression complex.
There was both worry and an irrepressible excitement and anticipation.
"He should be about to break through."
"Breakthrough?" Everyone was taken aback.
Li Guoan paused for a moment.
"Command: Activate the highest level of observation plan! All data acquisition equipment at maximum power!"
"In addition, all personnel within the Baiyujing area do not need to evacuate; find cover nearby."
The moment the order was given, the alarm turned into a continuous, long wail!
"Report! An energy vortex has formed! It is absorbing free energy from the surrounding space!"
"The spiritual energy concentration in Baiyujing is dropping rapidly!"
"No! It's not just Bai Yujing! The energy field of the entire Qinling Mountains is converging on him!"
On the city gate tower.
A fierce wind howled, and Chen You's robes fluttered wildly in the wind.
A massive amount of energy from heaven and earth poured into his body, merging with his own spiritual power to form an unprecedented monstrous wave that crashed fiercely against that indestructible barrier!
With the experience from last time, this breakthrough was a breeze.
"Break for me!"
Click!
A crisp sound, seemingly emanating from the depths of the soul.
The sturdy dike shattered instantly!
Boom!
Chen You felt as if his body had exploded, or as if he had been reborn.
The original stream of spiritual energy expanded into a raging river after breaking through the barrier!
The total amount and purity of spiritual energy have undergone earth-shattering changes!
The Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique has entered its third level!
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at his palms.
"What...is this?"
