The Tycoon God of Online Gaming-Chapter 40 - Target Divine Mountain

Soon after, following this strategy, Chu You finally passed the first level.

In the area outside the dungeon, a white, unmarked stele stood just when a red light flashed, and a line of words appeared: Night Ghost player cleared the first level in 2 minutes!

“Hiss!” An elder gasped, his eyes filled with unexplainable shock.

“Unimaginable, this child cleared the first level in just 2 minutes?” Another elder was also in disbelief.

“Reminiscing our humble beginnings, it seems our Battle Halberd Gladiator Sect struck a monster this time!” The leading elder said blankly.

“I really want to see this unprecedented prodigy myself.” The last elder shook his head, seemingly still in disbelief.

“Sigh, whether this is good or bad, it’s hard to say. I dare to assert that his record will surpass all future disciples!”

“Such a record, it’s unprecedented.”

Chu You quickly crawled into another passage and, soon after, he arrived at an underground hall. The dim hall had four large statues, each holding a battle halberd. Seeing all this, Chu You knew that a few more steps forward would awaken these statues; this was the second level!

There was another door at the end of the hall, that was the way to the third level.

Without any hesitation or distractions, Chu You immediately activated his transformation state!

A star pattern could be seen on Chu You’s right finger at his brow. When Chu You pressed on it, the pattern spread out, revealing a powerful energy bursting from within Chu You.

‘Shattered Star!’

In the infinite void, it was as if an ancient god roared, his majestic voice striking an unforgettable awe.

A substance of purple-gold color seeped out from within Chu You, quickly spreading over his entire body, until not even his head was spared from its encroachment, all of it was covered.

Suddenly, Chu You’s body seemed filled with raging energy, causing his physical form to continuously swell, ultimately reaching a height of 5 meters.

The purple-gold substance shed away and vanished, and at this moment, like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, the true form inside Chu You’s body was revealed!

It was… a humanoid battle armor, composed entirely of the purple-gold substance. Chu You had completely transformed at this point, exhibiting no semblance to his former self— it was an entirely different appearance.

This appearance…

Even colder, as if sending chills down one’s spine.

Even more ruthless, as though no longer part of humanity, bereft of any hint of emotion.

Even more violent and terrifying, the aura of slaughter emanating from Chu You filled the entire hall. (Chu You’s transformed state can be roughly referenced: EVA Evangelion Warrior Zero, but Chu You’s transformation is more sensual, not purely mechanical.)

Everything that just happened during his transformation took only 10 seconds.

Chu You opened his eyes! They were eyes without pupils, filled entirely with red. Even the little demon who could recognize Chu You even if he turned into ashes probably wouldn’t be certain that this person is the Chu You she knows.

The battle halberd in his hand became enormous due to the growth of Chu You’s body. This ordinary weapon now seemed to have been tainted by its master’s aura, becoming grand and imposing.

“Hu…” Looking at his own health bar, Chu You felt as though he had returned to his level 100 status from his previous life.

At this moment, his feet moved, and the truly tall Chu You sprinted forward with explosive power, his running speed and the strength displayed brought about a powerful shock to people’s senses.

In an instant, before the four statues had fully awakened, Chu You had already rushed to the gate of the third level, swinging his enormous battle halberd at the gate with a forceful blow. A health bar value appeared in Chu You’s sight. Only by destroying this gate could he enter the third level.

All four statues awakened at this moment, each holding a battle halberd and slashing towards Chu You.

Chu You didn’t care at all. Relying on his own health bar, he focused entirely on demolishing the gate.

A rotating wave, three horizontal slashes, a sweeping blow, and again!

In the hall, the four puppets attacked the transformed Chu You. However, Chu You’s level had reduced the difficulty here: the dungeon had become extremely simple, the damage caused by the puppets’ attacks wasn’t even high. For Chu You’s terrifying health bar, it was practically a tickle.

“A bunch of weaklings!” Chu You roared, delivering another slash, and the gate was destroyed instantaneously.

The four puppets disappeared instantly, Chu You immediately rushed inside to face the third level.

Outside, the stele carved another record under Chu You’s name: Player Night Ghost passed the second stage in 2 minutes!

The four elders did not utter a word, their expressions were solemn, as though facing a formidable enemy, all of them focusing on Chu You’s final challenge, wondering how much time he would consume.

A dungeon BOSS appeared in Chu You’s view, an old man from the Battle Halberd Gladiator Sect, at the two-star elite level.

A cold snort came from Chu You’s mouth as he swiftly swung his massive halberd towards the enemy. Chu You knew that failing to kill it within a certain period would cause mobs to spawn around him, increasing in numbers until the player couldn’t handle it and died.

He wasn’t dodging or strategizing, he was simply engaging in a pure brawl!

Chu You stood in place, swinging his halberd and watching as the enemy’s health slowly dwindled. He was elated, thoroughly enjoying this feeling.

He didn’t need to think or make decisions. All he needed to do was to deal damage like a pillar. Then, he would watch as the highest mission rewards got closer and closer, within his grasp!

The BOSS was still using its skills, attacking Chu You with tactical steps and body movements, seemingly teaching him some combat experience of the Battle Halberd Profession.

“What’s the use of all that! You’re nothing more than an old salted fish!” Chu You bellowed, swinging his weapon…

The Battle Halberd BOSS suddenly froze, staring at Chu You with wide eyes, its face turning red with rage. “What did you say? Say it again!”

A spark of surprise flashed in Chu You’s eyes. The BOSS could actually talk? How come nobody mentioned this in his previous life? But how helpful would that be?

“I’ll beat you, you old salted fish!” Chu You swung his massive halberd towards the enemy’s head.

“Puh!!” In the central city within Huaxia, a dignified old man, sitting in a hall, suddenly spat out blood, startling all the high-level Battle Halberd disciples around him who were in deep meditation. They all looked at him with disbelief.

“Sect Leader! What happened? Have you gone mad?” One of the disciples worried if he has gone mad.

“Nonsense! Stop staring at me and quickly comprehend the Law of Battle Halberd I’ve taught you!” The Sect Leader’s sudden anger scared the surrounding disciples. They dared not speak and immediately closed their eyes to comprehend.

“A bunch of shut-ins!” The Sect Leader cursed and wiped the blood from his mouth. As the first disciple of his sect to enter the Trial Land and as the sect leader, he wanted to personally pass on his combat experience of the Battle Halberd Gladiator Sect, which he considered as a reward for the disciple. But…

At this moment, additional mobs were spawning in the instance. But that didn’t affect Chu You’s vigorous rhythm. Even with the changes on BOSS, he was completely oblivious and didn’t notice the mechanistic movements of the instance BOSS, which lacked the previous charm.

‘Decapitation.’

“Rest in peace, you old fish!” Chu You delivered the killing blow, slaying the BOSS that had only 300 health points left.

System prompt: Congratulations on your successful completion of the instance with perfect scores. You have earned the highest reward, the ‘Spear’s Unmatched’ skill book, and gained +50000 experience points.

System prompt: Your achievement has surpassed the record of all previous sect leaders, triggering a hidden reward. Special reward: all attributes +2, gain 10 free attribute points!

Chu You’s pupils narrowed. There were indeed hidden rewards in here. Just how terrifying were his achievements? He then began to examine the skill book.

Spear’s Unmatched (Level 6 Skill): Increases attack by 20% for 2 minutes, increases physical defense by 40%, increases movement speed by 20, increases attack speed by 30. Instant cast, cooldown 20 minutes, proficiency 0/3000, job requirement Battle Halberd Gladiator, no level requirement, cannot be sold!

Looking at the skill description, Chu You felt excited. He hadn’t acquired this skill book in his previous life. Even though he knew the instance like the back of his hand, achieving a perfect clear was still incredibly hard for the not-so-skilled Chu You.

Chu You immediately started practicing the skill. Finally, he had a status-boosting skill, but unfortunately it was an active skill. If only he had acquired a passive skill that increased attack speed… How great would that be?

In a while, Chu You reverted back to his original form, put on his cloak, and left the instance. The moment he appeared outside, he ran over to the stele. The stele was engraved with a line of text which excited him. This stele was available throughout Huaxia and the seven kingdoms. If you were a Battle Halberd Gladiator, you could see it in any city or sect you were in.

Player Night Ghost has perfectly cleared Trial Land in 10 minutes.

Chu You inwardly nodded, satisfied. In his past life, even in the later stages of the game, he hadn’t seen such an achievement. This clearly showed that he had truly created a legend.

He added all 10 attribute points from the hidden quest to Strength. Chu You came up with one rule of thumb, that is high attack, high health.

Because… this was the key to success!

After taking a deep breath, Chu You headed towards his next task. Looking at Wangshan City in the distance, he couldn’t suppress the excitement welling up within him and immediately started running towards the city.

“This disciple has a boundless future.” An elder muttered as he watched Chu You’s figure disappear.

Before long, Chu You arrived at a mansion, entered inside, and reached an office area.

“What can I do for you?” asked a middle-aged man in official clothes who came over, yawning, looking half-hearted.

“I want to create a guild!” Chu You’s cold voice came from under his broad hat.

“Oh?” The official jolted up, his dismal attitude gone, his eyes became sharp as if seeing a gold mine in Chu You.

“Please, come with me.” He led Chu You to a scribe and said, “If you have any questions, ask him.”

“No need for consultation. Just give me the Heavenly Talisman to create a guild.”

“The Talisman costs 10,000 Gold Coins.”

Chu You transferred 10,000 Gold Coins right away and received the Heavenly Talisman, essential for creating a guild, from the official.

After that, Chu You didn’t say anything else. He turned and walked out of the door.

Once he set Wangshan City as his teleportation point, Chu You immediately headed out of the city. Several NPCs with quests kept saying strange things to Chu You as he passed by. Chu You knew that they just wanted him to take on their quests.

When did quests become so abundant that they were practically thrown at your feet? The first player to arrive here had this advantage, getting first dibs on everything. However, Chu You sneered, didn’t even glance at the NPCs, and ignored them.

At the city gate, a beggar sat in a corner, moaning without being ill, and casually glanced at Chu You. With Chu You’s experience in his past life, he could tell that this was a NPC with a hidden quest. Hidden quests were usually unique. Once a player took them, no one else could. The rewards from these quests were quite considerable and were an excellent source of equipment for early-game players.

But this time around, what use would your hidden quest be for me? All quests, scram!

“Get out of here!” Chu You blacklisted the NPC carrying the hidden quest, thereby discarding a quest that could have potentially rewarded at least a Viscount Level item.

After leaving the city, Chu You headed towards Wangshan Mountain.
