The Tycoon God of Online Gaming-Chapter 42 - Ascending the Majestic Summit

Where did she go wrong?

Her eyes started welling up. Zhou Yuxuan tilted her head back to prevent her tears from flowing out, trying to calm herself. A strong desire to fight back gradually appeared on her beautiful face.

Shortly after, the light bulb moment occurred, and Zhou Yuxuan figured out what to do.

She picked up her phone, dialed a number, and soon, a lazy, charming voice sounded through her phone, which could easily melt any man’s heart.

“Sis! I found a high-paying job that’s perfect for you. Interested?”

…

“I’ll leave the washing up to you. I’m going to play my game now.” Chu You was the first to finish eating. He put down his chopsticks, stood up, and announced it.

As he ascended the stairs and the ‘thump-thump-thump’ of his footsteps echoed throughout the house, Lin Luor was left in shock.

Was he in such a hurry?

Indeed, he was. After cleaning himself, Chu You bolted for his game pod.

In the game, Chu You materialized on a treacherous cliff. The cool breeze licked his face, and lowering his eyes ever so slightly, he realized how high up he was – he had already climbed quite a few kilometres. Looking upwards, he still could not see the top.

The thunderous booming sound continued to resonance, but it didn’t affect Chu You’s mindset. After mentally reviewing the route, Chu You felt confident. He took a deep breath and began climbing upwards again.

In the early stages of the game, very few had the courage to scale high mountains…

Slowly, Chu You reached a section that was not difficult to climb, so he started chatting with the Killing Commander.

“Old Kill, you’re at level 4 now?” Noting that Old Kill had reached level 4, Chu You was slightly surprised. He was truly a great assassin, once he entered his domain, he was unstoppable.

“Yes, boss. Also, I have something to report. When you logged off, our team found a Green Duke’s Treasure Box. How should we handle it?”

“Green Duke’s Treasure Box? That’s quite good. You handle it. If the items inside are for a healer, keep them!” Chu You was surprised; the equipment inside the Green Duke’s Treasure Box was worth over 300 yuan. It seemed that the subordinate who found the treasure box had high integrity and was reliable.

“Okay, boss. I have a question.”

“Go ahead.”

“Boss, there are a lot of healer’s equipment. You always tell me to keep them, but you never said why, and my inventory is almost full.” Old Kill was a bit frustrated. The gear kept piling up, and his backpack was almost filled.

“Oh, that was my oversight. You should add someone named Luoshui Huixi, then give her all the equipment. Dispose of the rest.”

“Ok, I got it.”

“Hmm, also, guide her a bit. She’s a healer, and it’s hard for her to level up alone.”

“Okay, boss. Would you mind informing her to accept my friend request?”

“Hmm…”

“By the way, boss, all 19 of us have arrived at Liuying Village, but it seems that our feedback doesn’t work on you anymore.”

“Yeah, I’ve advanced my profession, I’m not in Liuying Village anymore. Let’s do this then: the agreement remains the same, but now it’s between you and Luoshui Huixi. I hope you both can level up quickly.” Chu You was leveling up too quickly and had surpassed Liuying Village; hence, his staff couldn’t start their work.

The Killing Commander was moved yet again. This generous boss was truly treating him excellently, so the only thing he could repay him with was to meet the boss’s expectations…

Chu You continued to climb upwards, the route imprinted clearly in his mind. The player in his previous life had taken 48 game hours to do so, but based on his second climb and subsequent route documentation, Chu You was confident that a more efficient path had been charted. As such, he estimated that he should reach the peak by the second day in real time…

At that time… A thrill ran through Chu You’s heart and he almost lost his grip, quickly calming his racing mind to continue his ascent with single-minded focus.

Shortly after, the Killing Commander’s voice chimed in again over Chu You’s communicator.

“Boss, all the equipment has been traded to Luo Shui Glittering Night, but…”

Was there something he was hesitant to voice out?

“But what?” Chu You asked indifferently.

“It seems that she doesn’t want to level up with me; she’s behaving quite icily.”

“That’s just how she is…”

“Uh, okay.”

“I’ll ask her.” Chu You was confused about Lin Luo’s behaviour and decided to speak up, “Homer, why don’t you want to level up with the Killing Commander?”

“Chu You, I’ve met a woman whom I want to level up with, is that okay?” Homer responded, her voice cautious.

“I see. Well… okay, but if your level falls more than 3 levels behind the Killing Commander’s, you must level up with him again.” Chu You didn’t want to interfere too much in his subordinate’s personal space, and as long as it didn’t disrupt his master plan, everything was negotiable.

“Okay, I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t fall behind.” Homer responded resolutely.

“Hmm…”

At this moment, Chu You had entered the cloud layer. He couldn’t see below or far above. The information in his memory clearly emphasized that this stage was crucial. He needed to be extremely cautious and vigilant.

Time trickled by. Chu You was enveloped in the fog, surrounded by a pure white scenery. It was as if he had entered an empty land. The noise from the waterfall disappeared and it was utterly silent, as if he had arrived at a mute realm.

Chu You continued to cautiously climb upwards, disregarding the messages that were coming in through his communication channel.

Day turned into night. At some unknown point, Chu You’s face gradually lit up with a magical aurora, not blinding, but instead unnoticeably soothing. The origin of this aurora were the Immortal Rosy Clouds Divine Radiance that fell down from the sky.

The fog gradually dissipated, revealing the mysterious mountain peak in Chu You’s line of sight.

After millenia of solitude, this place was finally disrupted from its everlasting tranquility by a resounding song…

“Oh, how lonely it is, being invincible~”

“How empty it feels, being invincible~”

“Alone atop the peak, the cold wind blows incessantly…”

“Who can understand my loneliness…”

“Oh, how lonely it is, being invincible~”

“How empty it feels, being invincible~”

“She hides on the horizon, can she hear me expressing…”

“My loneliness, My interminable loneliness!”

Chu You sang out loudly, feeling that at this moment, the song perfectly embodied his emotional state.

Since the start of the game, he had been conquering this divine mountain, standing atop the eternal peak. In comparison to all the other players who busied themselves killing monsters, they were no more than mere ants—transient beings!

A hand appeared above the peak, and tightly grasping the edge of the cliff was another hand. Then, Chu You hoisted himself up and firmly stood atop the mountain!

Looking around, everything was exactly as he remembered from the images in his memory.

The aurora that cascaded down the sky landed precisely in the center of this area. Chu You spotted a radiating treasure box at that exact point, peacefully placed there as if it awaited its rightful owner to open it.

This box was none other than the Divine Box — a unique object in Yan Kingdom — with only one in each of the seven countries, resulting in a mere seven in the entire Huaxia region.

Surprisingly, Chu You didn’t seem too excited upon seeing the box. He walked over calmly, glanced down at it disdainfully, and stated coldly, “To me, this spot is only second place!”
