The Tycoon God of Online Gaming-Chapter 35 - Battle God Body 1-Star Transformation

One of the men clad in black slowly draws his weapon, with Chu You his target.

Chu You’s eyes narrow and he stops when he’s twenty meters away from them.

“You carry an air akin to a notorious bandit. Tell me, what’s your intention for coming here?” the black-clad man who had drawn the weapon asked sharply.

“To get some food,” Without pausing to think, Chu You responded.

After exchanging glances, one of the black-clothed figures spoke up, “We are from the Tiancai Escort Agency, practicing disciples. Would you care to join us and transport the goods safely to their destination?”

Chu You nods, “Of course, that is precisely my intention.”

“As you can see, we’ve taken a hit and lost members. The journey might be dangerous; are you sure you want to join?” A wounded older man asked while coughing.

System: Accept the escort task? Failure results in a loss of 10,000 experience points.

Chu You’s expression changes; he didn’t expect this task to have a penalty for failure. At the same time, he felt a surge of excitement. Generally, tasks with failure penalties provide generous experience and rewards once completed successfully. If he completes this task, an upgrade is guaranteed.

Chu You chooses to accept, “I am sure I want to join.” Immediately, this task appears in the task bar. Chu You opens it and starts to read.

Task Prompt: Safely transport the goods to Liuguang Relay Station and hand them over to the soldiers stationed there.

Task Reward: One horse carriage and 10,000 experience points. The more carriages arrive safely, the richer the rewards.

The black-clad figure who drew his weapon sheathes it and relaxes his expression, “Then come along. Are you hungry?”

Chu You shakes his head, “Not anymore.”

Just after Chu You accepts the task, rain starts to fall.

The injured old man quickly states, “Alright, now that someone has joined, let’s hurry up, finish eating, and hit the road.”

Chu You starts to gather information, “Were you ambushed?”

“Exactly, the formidable Grey Shadow Thief Gang is our adversary. We’ve already lost two-thirds of our manpower, and most of our goods were stolen by them. We barely managed to kill our way out and escape to this place,” the old man said while eating.

“So, do you still remember the route to our destination?”

“Of course I remember.”

Chu You nodded, “After you finish eating, you will lead the way. I will go ahead and scout.” He had noticed early on that each of the six people here corresponded to one horse box, which meant that the task of scouting had to be undertaken by him. An average player might not have thought of this and would have moved forward with the team, missing the opportunity to detect traps ahead in time.

Before long, the NPCs here begin to pack up their things and prepare to set off, leading the horse-drawn carriages.

“It’s over there,” the old man pointed in the direction for Chu You.

“Alright, starting now?”

Without responding directly, the old man waved at his people as if making a response.

Chu You galloped ahead, heading in the direction that the old man had indicated, and soon disappeared into the mist.

Chu You was experienced with NPC transport missions. Unlike the player guild’s material transport, the system’s transport mission mainly reminded the players to discover and solve the traps ahead of time to avoid dead ends.

There was no official road here. Yet imperceptibly, the transport team’s path was a bit wider than the densely packed forest around it. Chu You followed this path forward.

The rain gradually grew heavier. Chu You knew this was a challenge designed to obstruct the player’s vision. Rain dripped incessantly from his eyelashes, seemingly obscuring his vision.

Chu You remained calm within. After running a certain distance, he started to slow down and move forward more carefully, keeping his eyes skilfully trained on his surroundings. The transport team moved at a moderate pace. With his current speed, the transport team would catch up to him before long, so Chu You wasn’t overly worried.

Soon enough, Chu You stopped. He glanced at a shrub not too far away and quickly walked towards it.

Moments later, Chu You arrived at the shrub. Without hesitation, he stabbed into it with his knife!

With a ‘clink’, a damage value appeared in Chu You’s sight, and at the same time, there was a muffled groan from inside the bush as a grey figure leaped out. The figure brandished a knife, a glinting blade aiming straight at Chu You’s face.

Sure enough, there were hidden enemies here.

Perhaps Chu You’s unexpected stab disrupted the enemy’s setup. Two more figures in grey clothing leaped out from elsewhere in the forest. They locked onto Chu You, brandishing their daggers and quickly assaulting him.

A sneer lifted the corners of Chu You’s mouth as he evaded the incoming dagger from the figure in front and quickly retreated, slashing his knife at the same time.

Grey Shadow Assassin, Level 10, One Star Elite.

Faced with a three-on-one situation, Chu You could have used the NPCs from the transport team for assistance. But he didn’t want to waste time, and he was confident that he could handle them. Moreover, the experience gained from hitting the elites lowered greatly if an NPC got the strike instead. Also, if an NPC got hit by the monster and started losing health, and during a crisis, the NPC didn’t have much health and got killed, who would transport the horse carriage then? He would lose 10,000 experience for nothing.

In this relatively open area, Chu You fought against these three powerful elites by himself. They were assassins. Their health wouldn’t be too much, their defense was weak, but their attack speed was high and their attack power was considerable.

Relying on the increase in attack distance, he extended the gap between himself and the elite monster, and Chu You started to quickly set up his ‘kite’.

Chu You’s kiting method was much faster than that of the Mage Players. While the Mage Players needed to read the bar, Chu You did not. His attack speed was not slow due to his constitution’s addition, and he even held a low-level Courage Talisman, which immediately added +3 to his attack speed and +10 to his attack power.

After enabling Sprint Mode, the two sides chased each other through the forest, Chu You occasionally sweeping his blade at them, greatly speeding up the monster killing process.

Before long, Chu You had eliminated the elites, who dropped a piece of standard Level 10 equipment. He picked it up and turned to look back. The silhouette of the caravan appeared in his line of sight, and Chu You continued to move forward.

Along the way, Chu You discovered two places where the enemy was hiding. After dealing with them all, Chu You looked thoughtful, as he had not found any traps, indicating that there was likely a trap ahead. If Chu You hadn’t found these hidden elite monsters, once the trap was triggered, all these hidden monsters would swoop in.

With this thought, Chu You became more cautious. Although the rear threat was cleared, who could be certain about what could happen?

Soon, Chu You found a small lake to his left. The location was higher, while Chu You’s grass path was lower, like an elevated riverbank. Viewing with suspicion in his eyes, Chu You went over to check, and soon he discovered the so-called ‘trap.’

On the side of this small lake facing the grassy road where Chu You stood, there was a man-made dam made of mud. Chu You noticed that if this gap was opened, all the water in the lake would spill over, directly towards the indispensable path of the escort team. In a positive scenario, the path would be blocked by the flood, detouring a long way around. If things went badly…

The escort team would most likely be swept away by the sudden flood, leaving Chu You in a tricky situation.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Chu You knew that there must be enemies lurking nearby. When the team passed by, enemies would come over to open this dam and let the water out. Now, he needed to find the key to this deadly trap!

Looking around, Chu You frowned. The terrain here was somewhat open, and he could not find any hidden spots. Chu You even checked the trees but found nothing suspicious. So, where were the enemies?

A thought flashed across his mind, Chu You squinted narrowly, the enemies must be in the water!

With this realization, Chu You quickly climbed onto the riverbank, especially examined the dam, peering into the murky water. Chu You stabbed his knife in but seemed to hit nothing, as the blade didn’t even reach the bottom of the water. Then, Chu You took a deep breath and jumped into the lake!

Splashing water, Chu You submerged into the water. The water was indeed deep, no wonder he didn’t hit anything earlier. After a glance, Chu You continued to sink, and then he sensed something moving under him.

Chu You immediately dived down. Soon, he was within range, and his eyes lit up because he had indeed locked onto a Grey Clothed Warrior. After getting within his attack range, Chu You struck at the opponent under the water. Although his speed was slow, the opponent was slower.

Successful Opening! At this time, the discovered grey-clothed warrior swiftly swam towards Chu You to attack. At the same time, three shadows appeared from behind Chu You, so he instantly swam up. He couldn’t fight them underwater?

Above the surface, Chu You immediately climbed up and quickly went downhill to select a favorable terrain. Soon after, four grey shadows burst out of the water’s surface, all warriors. They stood on the shore, pulled out their swords, and charged towards Chu You after realizing there was no caravan in sight.

How does it matter if they can take a beating? Aren’t they just easy pickings for me!

By the time Chu You had dealt with the last elite monster, a shout came from the NPCs behind him. Chu You frowned, not needing a moment’s guess to know that something had happened there. So, he immediately went to respond.

Shortly afterward, Chu You saw a large number of grey dressed people arriving not far behind the Ransport Horse Team. These grey-clothed people included not just assassins and warriors, but also archers.

The NPC elder was overjoyed on seeing Chu You: “Young hero, come and help us, there’s an enemy behind us!”

Chu You looked unperturbed because he had already estimated that the enemies behind would take some time to catch up with the caravan. During this time, the caravan could pass safely through the previous dam area. After that…

“Don’t worry, come quickly, I have a plan.” After finishing his words, Chu You turned around and ran forward without looking back.

The NPC elder shouted out angrily: “You damn rabbit, even if I die, I will not let you go as a ghost!”

Chu You did not hear him, as he had already reached the dam’s location. Chu You started hacking at the dam with his knife, and a health bar appeared in his view. The dam started to seep water due to Chu You’s continues hacking. When the dam was about to be destroyed, he stopped and leisurely waited for the caravan to arrive.

Chu You motioned with his hand, “Come over quickly.”

The caravan slowly came from the corner, the enemies were not far behind, and the NPCs on the horses were constantly screaming in panic. Chu You just shook his head at this.

When the last horse cart passed by Chu You, there were more than ten enemies around the corner. Watching the last horse cart pass by him, Chu You chuckled as he stepped back a few steps, and at his maximum attack distance from the dam, he swung the last two blows.

The dam suddenly collapsed, and a large amount of lake water rushed out, blocking this path causing the enemies on the other side to be unable to cross.

With a sense of relief, Chu You turned around to catch up with his transport team.

Before long, an open space appeared in the forest ahead, where a two-story ancient building was situated. Defensive measures were set up around it, supplemented by a few watchtowers.

It seemed the destination had finally been reached.

As the displayed status of the NPCs inside was friendly, Chu You followed the cart team into this rat relay station.

You have entered Tiancai Escort Agency’s relay station!

Chu You nodded reassuringly inside. This wasn’t a Yan Kingdom official NPC, so it didn’t react to Chu You’s sin value.

At this moment, the ancient building’s gates opened, and several armored men walked out from inside. An old man from the cart team descended and they chatted for a bit.

“Thanks to this young hero’s assistance, otherwise I would never have seen you again.”

The leader of this place came up to Chu You, patted his shoulder, and said, “On behalf of the Escort Agency, I thank you for your help. Your mission is accomplished.”

System prompt: You gained 60,000 experience!

System prompt: Congratulations on leveling up!

A ray of light radiated from Chu You, indicating that he had officially advanced from level 9 to level 10!

At this time, abruptly, a wave of power stirred within his body. The feeling conveyed by the system was starkly realistic; Chu You could feel a sense of intense heat, as if his blood was boiling.

The breakthrough sensation from this power caused Chu You to let out a low growl. His body suddenly emitted traces of purple-golden energy, and a colossal amount of it erupted from within him.

The purple-golden breath enveloped Chu You entirely before finally congregating at the space between his eyebrows!

Before long, the breath seemed to disappear, and a complex, mysterious starburst symbol appeared on Chu You’s forehead which shone brightly, faintly emitting an ancient yet majestic power.

System prompt: Congratulations, dear player Night Ghost. The divine blood within your constitution has been successfully activated. Please check your character attributes to learn more details!

The surrounding NPCs seemed shocked by this sudden development, their eyes wide as they stared at Chu You.

Chu You ignored them and immediately brought up his character attributes.

Chu You was stunned as he looked at the changes in his constitution. His mind went blank from shock. The prophecies of the ancient times were not exaggerated, as if a true testament stood before him- this constitution was indeed the Emperor’s Body!
