Chapter 30 – The Emperor Reborn

The information on the second card is also a letter.

A capital S.

No need to think, this definitely represents difficulty.

Two consecutive S cards, is it good luck or bad luck?

The information on the third card turned into a number.

【18+】

Gu Chi: "......"

This 18+, it shouldn't be the same 18+ he knows, right?

If it is...

That would be great!

Don't get me wrong, Gu Chi doesn't have any intentions.

A gentleman loves beauty, but there is a proper way to obtain it.

NPCs and the like, he doesn't care about them at all.

The reason he says this is because the number 18+ most likely represents the number of players, if it's not referring to 18+ itself.

In PVP mode, Gu Chi naturally hopes for as few people as possible.

The suggestive 18+ is a huge advantage for him.

As someone who has been through many battles, he can easily take advantage of other players who are indulging in beauty and attack them.

But unfortunately, logic tells Gu Chi that this possibility is very small. 18+ most likely refers to the number of players.

S-level dungeon difficulty + PVP + more than 18 players...

It's like hell mode.

Gu Chi sighed softly.

PVP is his weakest area right now.

He is still just a newbie who recently created his account...

In the previous game, he easily defeated Chu Tiankuo, but that was under the condition that the other party didn't have much defense. Chu Tiankuo was only focused on ensuring the clearance of the dungeon and killing other players, without considering that others might also want to kill him from the beginning.

But in PVP mode, every player will be on high alert and won't let him easily hypnotize them. This is also the most dangerous part. Right now, Gu Chi only has the skill of hypnosis and no other skills for fighting.

If he increases the level of the Stone Skin Technique a bit, it might barely serve as a defensive skill. But Gu Chi doesn't want to invest resources into a skill that seems to have a low limit. It would be a waste.

Gu Chi originally planned to stay up all night on Wednesday and Thursday to team up with Reinforced Concrete to complete two simple dungeons, gather skill fragments, and see if he can obtain a good temporary skill. Then, based on the dungeon information, he would consider how to spend the remaining money.

But plans can't keep up with changes, and the sudden leap in time directly skipped the process of clearing dungeons. It's too late to go now.

Gu Chi's personal combat ability is extremely limited at the moment. He can't guarantee that he can clear two dungeons within 24 hours. If he delays the call to arms, he will lose 10,000 old coins.

The money in this game can be deducted into negative numbers. If he misses one call to arms, he will be wasting ten dungeon runs.

Only when a player reaches level 20 can they freely decide when to be called to arms. Before that, the call to arms cooldown is completely random.

There is a saying...

A newbie has no choice.

Gu Chi pondered for a moment.

He had already checked the store last time, and there were no items that would be helpful to him.

There is a special effect for appearances, which is not bad. If used well, it can be used to intimidate others, but it won't truly make him stronger.

Right now, he has two ways to increase his combat power.

The first way—

Gu Chi opened the friend panel.

【Qiang Hui, Friendship Level: 1, Current Status: In-game】

Gu Chi: "......"

Very good.

Yesterday, Qiang Hui's status was still online, indicating that he had just entered the game and couldn't come out for a while.

Asking Qiang Hui to help make a firearm that can serve as a main weapon is not feasible anymore. There is only one way left.

Draw a Memory Crystal.

This damn game seems to be forcing him to become a cannon fodder.

And it's crucial that he becomes one.

Gu Chi doesn't want to do nothing. He still hopes to explore more in the next dungeon and see if he can obtain a better temporary skill, and then use "Eternal Brand" to lock it in. Isn't this much better than farming skill fragments?

The premise of exploration is staying alive.

For a promising future, he will become this cannon fodder...

Gu Chi thought this way, not sure if he was just trying to convince himself.

At this moment, a friend request popped up.

【Player Ling Mao requests to add you as a friend (added through ID search)】

Without much thought, Gu Chi clicked agree.

Ling Mao immediately sent a string of exclamation marks: "!!!"

Ling Mao: "I finally added you!"

Gu Chi: "......"

What do you mean finally?

Did you add me before?

Ling Mao: "/Crying, I couldn't find your ID before, I thought you blocked me."

Last week, she came out of the game without even looking at the rewards. The first thing she did was add Gu Chi as a friend. But no matter how she searched, she tried "Gu Yuan" and "Gu Yuan", the system kept saying that the player doesn't exist. She was upset about it for a long time.

How much did Gu Chi despise her to block her as soon as he exited the game?

In her sadness, Ling Mao's temper also flared up. If he wants to block her, then she doesn't want to talk to him either!

She had already made up her mind to forget about that man who appeared briefly in her heart, but the time leap that happened today brought the ID "Gu Yuan" back to her mind. Ling Mao scolded herself while holding onto the last bit of hope, she searched again, and unexpectedly, she added him...

Seeing the words "blocked", Gu Chi probably guessed the reason.

It should be because he was still taking a shower at that time and didn't open the personal panel, so the experience didn't settle, resulting in his player level staying at level 1 and the friend function not being unlocked.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Chi replied: "It's probably a system bug."

Ling Mao immediately cursed: "This damn game, it can't even do the friend function properly. It will shut down sooner or later!"

Gu Chi: "......"

Ling Mao is really both angry and happy. She's happy because Gu Chi didn't really block her, and angry because of this bug that caused her to misunderstand Gu Chi. They almost missed each other.After a while, seeing that the girl remained silent, Gu Chi asked, "Do you need something from me?"

If not, he would have to go and be the scapegoat.

The girl's mood came and went quickly. Seeing Gu Chi's question, she knew he must be busy, so she sent a cute cat emoji and ended the conversation.

Being able to add Gu Chi as a friend today, Ling Mao was already very satisfied. As a cat, she couldn't be too greedy!

The brief chat with Ling Mao was just a small interlude, which didn't affect Gu Chi's choices.

Mainly because he had no other choices.

As usual, Gu Chi first went to the bathroom to wash his hands, physically making himself a bit cleaner, then he returned to open the shop and find the Memory Crystal.

"648 for one try..."

Hopefully, he would have some good luck.

Gu Chi extended his finger.

But just as he was about to touch the purchase button, a faint light suddenly lit up at the edge of his vision.

Gu Chi couldn't help but turn his head, only to see the roulette wheel that had been sitting on the bedside table and hadn't been spun before, was now finally spinning.

The patterns in the squares began to change.

The exquisitely carved pointer moved from slow to fast, then back to slow, finally stopping at the 12 o'clock direction.

When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

The pattern it pointed to was thus fixed.

It was a man with disheveled hair, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

【Status Acquired: Reincarnation of the Emperor】

【Reincarnation of the Emperor: As everyone knows, even the most powerful characters become weaklings after reincarnation, and they might even lose their memories, but I've said it before - you're different from them】

【Even a skinny C is bigger than an A】

【Even if your Spirit Power is exhausted and your cultivation is lost, your strength is still far beyond ordinary people】

【Because your greatest strength has never been your cultivation or Spirit Power】

【Special Ability Acquired: Dao Law·Word Spirit】
