Chapter 48: King Slayer

eath!The giant dragon and the rift disappeared into thin air. Zhang Yi stared blankly at the countless charred corpses of man-eating bugs around him, listening to the constant battle prompts ringing i...On his way back to Hope Town, Zhang Yi casually opened the leaderboard and discovered that after a night of intense grinding in the City of the Undead, he was now level 15 at 32% experience, successfully breaking into the top ten of Area 886. He was currently ranked fifth!

It seems that if Zhang Yi wants to get first place, it's actually quite easy, as long as he has the idea.

However, Zhang Yi doesn't really pursue the number one spot because being ranked first on the celestial list doesn't bring any real benefits.

The top spot is still held by the Storm Angel at level 16, 12%, but his level is almost catching up to the second place. It seems like he must have reached his fatigue limit and took a break, otherwise, with his leveling speed, it would be impossible for him to raise his level from level 15, 70% to level 16, 12% in just one night.

After closing the ranking list, Zhang Yi casually opened the regional chat channel and noticed that as time went on, players were increasingly realizing that the current situation was probably not as simple as a bug in the logout setting of [Heavenly Fortune Group] in the game [Tianqi].

"What's going on, why hasn't the login bug been fixed yet It's been over a day since the server opened! (question mark)(question mark) (chat emoji)"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Don't you realize This isn't a bug, is it We're truly trapped in the world of Apocalypse, and death here... it's permanent!"

" 【Dream Tears】 (Male, Rank 15 Knight): "This is true, I had several friends use up their resurrection chances and then they died, they just vanished! They really died! (Fear)"

"kawaii-chan" (Female, Level 14 Mage): " (cry) (cry) Don't scare me, why are you doing this I want to log off, I want to go home, I want to eat the braised pork my mom made. (cry)..."

Looking at these chat records, Zhang Yi didn't feel anything.

But he knew that soon, the rulers of the world would begin to fully implement their plan to seize Hope Town. Zhang Yi, up to this point, had only delayed their plan and not fundamentally changed the course of history.

Close the chat channel and continue on the road.

Along the way, you can also see many players brushing monsters and leveling up beside those biomonsters between levels 10-15.

After beginning to suspect that this was a real apocalyptic world, the players all began frantically leveling up and increasing their strength in order to ensure that they could survive in this world in the future.

As Zhang Yi passed a crossroad, he suddenly heard what sounded like an argument coming from the right side of the road.

"What do you want! Get out of my way!"

Following the sound, I saw a large group of players surrounding a few others in a circle. They were all drawing their swords and looking ready for battle.

Zhang Yi saw through the situation at a glance.

It's most likely that the majority of players are on the side wanting to kill and loot. This kind of thing is nothing new to Zhang Yi, who survived for eight years in the Tianqi world in his past life.

Besides slaying monsters and completing quests, killing other players is also a way to gain benefits. Moreover, its effectiveness surpasses the former.

What surprised Zhang Yiwei was that the group of players who committed violence outside the arena, all had IDs starting with "King," they were actually players from King's World!

Is the King's World truly already implementing a full-scale invasion of Hope Town

Because Zhang Yi remembered, the previous world's King's World did just that. Half a day earlier than this world, they started around noon, killing other casual players in the wild and plundering their resources. While strengthening themselves, they made countless casual players fear King's World and gradually dared not resist them.

Here, four players were surrounded by a dozen or so King's Dominion players. The group consisted of three men and one woman: a knight, an assassin, an archer, and a priest. All four were level 14, a mid-level bracket.

And those King of Glory players surrounding them had also reached level 14, and there was even one at level 15!

Level 15 Assassin · King of Killers!

Currently, reaching level 15 allows you to be ranked within the top 100 of region 886. After all, Zhang Yi, with a level 15 and 32% win rate, managed to secure 5th place.

The highest-ranked King Slayer, it seems like the leader of this group of King's Domination players.

He was twirling a blood-red dagger in his hand, one that looked quite valuable, at least 2-star quality. The King Killer, with a frivolous expression on his face, sized up the few people before him and said: "Hand over everything of value you have, your equipment, money, enhancement stones, everything!"

As soon as the words were spoken, among the four young players surrounded, a knight in black armor with the ID "Guan Yun Chang" on his helmet, glared at the group of King's World players with piercing eyes and said: “If you want resources, why not do quests and slay monsters to get them yourselves Robbing from others, what kind of skill is that”

"You got it wrong." The King Killer smiled faintly. "Being able to snatch something from someone else is the true skill, after all, everyone can loot monsters."

"Now that's done, " said Liu Xuande, another young assassin standing beside Guan Yun Chang, "Aren't you afraid of damaging your reputation as the rulers of the world A thousand-man regiment bullying civilian players and extorting resources from them – isn't that a disgrace"

“How much is fame worth in this dying world” The King Slayer scoffed, “Isn’t survival the most important thing This isn’t a game world anymore. If you want to live, hand over all your resources, or don’t blame us for being unkind!”

"Handing over equipment and resources would mean a dead end. Of the four, the oldest-looking one, a twenty-four or twenty-five year old archer named [Qingfeng], spoke resolutely: “It’s impossible, unless they walk over our corpses!”

"If you don't drink this toast, then you have to drink a penalty shot!" The King Slayer let out a cold snort: "Fine, then I'll kill you all and loot your equipment!"

Brothers, charge! Kill that woman too, show no mercy!

With the King Slayer's order, dozens of players from the King's World surrounded Qingfeng and his team.hoose to reveal or conceal your ID"This time, Zhang Yi chose to go public without any hesitation.Area 886 Security Zone Announcement: “Ding~ Congratulations to player [Yī Nuò Qīngchéng] for successful...
