Chapter 378: Game Announcement: Come Kill Zombies, Get a Village for Free

Just as the Anya Squad and Qianhe Daoren were together blocking the Imperial Zombie, on the other side, Esdeath knelt on one knee, her full-body Armor of ice tattered and torn; some of the thinner layers of ice had been shattered, and her flesh had been clawed open by the zombies' sharp talons.

The food she currently hates eating the most would have to be sticky rice.

Several towns, not a single living person.

All had fallen into Moshi Chaoxue.

Esdeath had been unstoppable, wiping out the Moshi Chaoxue in four towns with frost paving the way, until she encountered a close relative killed by the 【Music Zombie King】, a transformed 【Golden】 Moshi Chaoxue, which consumed a massive amount of her stamina.

Only then did she barely manage to kill it.

Inside the final 【Moshi Chaoxue】, Esdeath originally still had the strength to contend with the 【Music Zombie King】,

but who would have thought, Esdeath, who had spent thousands of Reward Points to rush and restore her state to its peak, had not even fought the opponent when the Zombie King, originally also 【Golden】, was directly baptized by the demonic energy surging from the earth as the ground suddenly tore open, transforming into 【Dark Gold】.

It beat Esdeath so badly she fled in a panic; she truly craved battle, but she was not a lunatic, and she knew that the transformed Moshi Chaoxue was a terrifying existence she simply could not kill.

"Interesting. This feeling of frustration—I must become even stronger!"

Esdeath escaped the range of the 【Moshi Chaoxue】 and hid in a dilapidated residence.

The Moshi Chaoxue inside this residence had already been cleared out.

She skillfully opened the Mall interface.

During this time, she had purchased at least several hundred bottles of Recovery Potion and sticky rice, and she was already well-versed in all the operations.

"Become stronger!"

Some people, even if they are the strongest in the world, become decadent after being defeated and cannot pull themselves together.

But Esdeath did not; she cared nothing for the empty title of the world's strongest, and even after being beaten into a panicked retreat, she still maintained her loyalty to battle.

Since she could be defeated, it meant she was still not strong enough.

And now, the Samsara Game could provide her with a ready-made path to become stronger.

【Esdeath】

Level: Lv. 9 (6500/6w)

Attributes: Strength 57, Agility 60, Constitution 39, Spirit 50 Skills: Demon God Manifestation · Demon Essence Lv. 19 Equipment: Inferior Moshi Chaoxue Leggings (Green), Inferior Moshi Chaoxue Bone Armor (Green), Intermediate Moshi Chaoxue Shoulder Guards (Green)...

Set Bonus: All Attributes +10, Corpse Poison Resistance +50 No bells and whistles,

the equipment Esdeath wore already allowed her to experience the pleasure of becoming stronger in a very intuitive way.

This feeling was addictive.

Her gaze landed on the Game Shelf; all five items were related to frost.

Finally, she purchased a 【Chuji Hanbing Zaoxing Moha】 worth 50,000 Reward Points.

"This strange feeling... that's right, it's that red-haired prey!"

On Esdeath's wrist,

a blue-and-white snowflake mark appeared, and waves of icy coldness continuously surged from within the mark.

This feeling,

just like Erza, who had fought her earlier—so it was called Magic?

Esdeath curled her lips, testing the power of her new ability.

She swung the ice blade in her hand,

and an ice-blue Magic Circle appeared at the tip of the blade; an ice eagle flapping its wings rushed out of the Magic Circle, circled in the sky for a moment, and then shattered into ice dust.

"Ice Make · Ice Wall!"

A five-meter-high ring of ice walls covered the entire residence in a suit of frost armor.

Esdeath frowned, walked closer with her rounded, full legs, and aimed at the ice wall that was clearly a different color from the rest,

slashing down with her blade.

Bang.

The ice blade shattered.

Esdeath laughed wildly and muttered to herself: "No wonder that black-haired prey said I couldn't kill the red-haired prey. So that's how it is?"

The ice wall of a different color,

was created by her new ice Magic ability; it was stronger, tougher, and had a special aura flowing within it.

It far surpassed the ice she created using her Teigu. After all, a world that relies on Teigu to carry extraordinary energy simply cannot be compared to the Fairy Tail world, which can give birth to high-level creatures like the Dragon God.

There is a difference in the energy tiers of the two worlds.

In that case,

if not for Kikyo's interference, would I have not only failed to kill Erza, but instead been torn to shreds by the red-haired armored prey? This feeling of hindsight danger is truly annoying.

Esdeath loved battle, but she hated dying for no reason.

"Magic? I like it..."

Esdeath was completely immersed in the newly acquired ice Magic, and before she had fully recovered her state, she began to continue hunting the nearby Moshi Chaoxue.

Not enough, I want more! I want more Reward Points to upgrade the ice Magic to the max level.

"Master, the materials have been gathered, the 【Zombie Baby】 has been manufactured."

The white-haired little girl opened her mouth wide, stretching it like plasticine, and spat out a bright green fluorescent ball like a treasure pouch.

Fang Yi remained expressionless, smashed a fist onto her forehead, and said: "Can't you just take it out directly? Do you have to spit it out of your mouth?"

"I saw Orochimaru do it and thought it was very interesting, so I wanted to perform it for Master!"

Not only was she not praised, she was even looked down upon...

A Fu pouted, very unhappy.

The two Golden-level zombie materials were originally supposed to be the 【Frontier Imperial Clan】 and the 【Music Zombie King】,

But I did not expect the World Consciousness of 【Qingguo Guishi】 to be so insane; it directly raised the quality of the two zombies, causing the rest of the zombies under their command to also transform from Commander Level to Golden, which symbolizes a common lord.

One was slain by Esdeath,

and the other was killed by the joint efforts of Anya Squad; it was a Royal Drought Demon that had summoned a nearby Golden zombie by utilizing the command ability of the 【Zombie Emperor Aura】 over low-level zombies.

However, although the Golden zombie was killed, the 【Royal Drought Demon】, which possessed super-strong potential, managed to escape.

I fear it will wreak havoc on the human world in the future.

This made Qianhe Daozhang feel extremely remorseful, and he decided to return to the Daoist sect first to accept punishment, then descend the mountain again to capture that escaped zombie and finish it off with his own hands.

Anya Squad also gained an additional Side Quest: help Qianhe Daozhang kill the escaped Royal Drought Demon.

By using this quest as a medium, they can be temporarily designated as a 【Temporary Squad】 and will not be disbanded until the quest ends or someone voluntarily withdraws.

"Start the projection now; I want all players to be able to use high-quality pets that can reinforce attributes and possess powerful combat strength!"

At this moment,

inside the Samsara Game Space, a system announcement occupied the chat bar, crowding into the line of sight of all players.

Everyone had a tacit understanding; they all put down what they were doing, and even players who were hunting Pollution Monsters found a Safe Zone to first read the game announcement.

【Game Merchant】: Dear players, in order to solve the problem of Golden and Dark Gold Pollution Monsters being too powerful, we have specially added a new 【Pet System】.

For players above Lv. 25, the game will gift five 【Pet Fragments】 free of charge.

Collect 200 Pet Fragments to exchange for one 【Zombie Baby】 Pet Egg.

After the Pet Egg finishes hatching, players can own the first game pet issued by the Samsara Game, 【Zombie Baby】; please explore the detailed data yourself.

Hint: Killing monsters in the 【Qingguo Guishi】 world has a probability of dropping 【Pet Fragments (Zombie Baby)】.

You can spend 2500 Reward Points to exchange directly in the Pet System; you can exchange for one Pet Fragment every day.

Hint 2: Thirty days after this game announcement is issued, the drop rate of Pet Fragments will be 200%; it will return to the normal drop rate after the deadline.

【Game Merchant】: Dear players, to better help players obtain the game pet (Zombie Baby), a limited-time game event is now open.

Players above Lv. 25 can accept 【Pioneering Quests】 at various 【Daoguan】 of the Daoist forces in 【Qingguo Guishi】.

【Pioneering Quest 1】: Jianzao Lunhui Youxi Zhuang

Quest Content: Hunt Pollution Zombies, hand in zombie materials, and consume a large amount of Reward Points to create a Game Village in the 【Qingguo Guishi】 world.

This Game Village is at the same level as a 【Safe Zone】; after construction is completed, the player will have full control over the village.

Hint: Players who accept this quest are not restricted by space and can freely enter and exit the 【Qingguo Guishi】 world, only needing to pay 500 Reward Points in Certification Points every day.

Hint 2: The player who creates the 【Game Village】 first will possess the special building 【Daoguan】; this building can consume Reward Points to permanently cultivate magic-type profession 【Daoist Disciple】s.
