Chapter 13: Bottleneck broken! Players appear!

"Call me Demon King."

The majestic voice echoed in the pitch-black mine cave, like a scorching wind blowing on faces that couldn't see any blood color.

Chris knelt on the ground with a thud, her pupils full of trembling, no longer having the relaxed look from before.

Having been an adventurer for so many years, this was the first time she had seen the legendary Demon King.

In order to survive, she abandoned her dignity and pressed her forehead firmly against the ground.

"D-Demon, Demon King! I have eyes but failed to see, p-p-please raise your hand high and let me go like a fart..."

She didn't know what this guy did, maybe it was some necromancy magic she didn't understand.

In short, she felt that she couldn't exert any strength in her whole body, so much so that she couldn't even stand still.

Tears, snot, saliva... kept coming out.

Not only that.

Following her buddy named Gray Dog, she also peed without any accident.

That seemed to be a side effect of "Soul Extraction", if too much life force is drained, you won't be able to hold it.

Also, the faith value stopped rising.

"It seems there is a limit to the amount one person can contribute... perhaps it also has something to do with the soul level."

Thinking like this, Luo Yan's gaze crossed over the Silver Scimitar group.

That opening line was less for the few petty thieves in front of him, and more to increase the player's sense of immersion.

Just a moment ago, the moment he took out the crystal ball, the number of people online in "Disaster OL" soared.

After discovering that they could see things again after entering the game, those sand-sculpture (idiot) guys killed their way back from the official website.

"Holy crap holy crap holy crap!"

"What's the situation?!"

"Is it opening the server?!"

"Let me out! Hurry up and let me out!" (Screaming)

The noisy appearance of chattering was quite like the undead who had no home to return to.

Luo Yan scanned the adventurers prostrate on the ground, and cast his gaze toward the skeleton soldiers in the distance.

Those were the monsters he summoned through the Demon King territory core, exactly one hundred!

At this moment, they were standing foolishly, waiting for him to issue orders.

As the most basic summoned creature in necromancy magic, the initial attribute panel of a skeleton soldier was not even as good as an imperial old farmer, only 2/3/1/0/0.

Because they had no wisdom, they could only execute some simple commands, so they were usually used as cannon fodder to attract firepower on the battlefield.

However, according to the Disaster System, he could inject the player's soul mirror image into these skeletons through a sacrificial ritual.

In this way, these skeletons would possess the same growth attributes as the undead born under natural conditions—that is, not only could they level up, but they could also execute some more complex and specific commands.

What if they don't listen? Luo Yan actually had no better way.

He was also a Demon King for the first time, and also the dog planner of that "Disaster OL".

Take it one step at a time!

"... Hope you guys can be of some use."

While saying this, he opened his suitcase, took out the magic crystal chalk needed to draw the magic circle, first drew a standard circle on the ground, then filled in the lines inside, and then put the crystal ball on it.

The dark green light lit up faintly, covering the atmosphere of the whole space with a touch of weirdness.

Chris widened her eyes in terror, wanting to know what happened, but didn't dare to speak.

And just at this time, Luo Yan clapped his hands and retreated from the pentagram flashing with green light.

"Come out—"

"My minions."

Hiss—

The jumping sparks ran a circle along the texture of the magic circle, suddenly scattered into fireworks all over the sky!

I saw dots of fireflies flying toward the skeleton soldiers one by one, and accurately hit their skulls.

Those skeletons hit by the green light were like being electrocuted, their whole bodies shaking violently, and their joints made creaking and cracking sounds.

Looking at the mine pick beside his neck, Gray Dog lying on the ground felt his heart lift to his throat, fearing that this group of brain-abnormal undead would also come to his head.

Fortunately, that abnormal situation didn't last long, and the skeleton soldiers one by one returned to normal.

However—

That so-called normal only lasted for a few seconds.

Just in an instant, all the skeletons in the mine cave boiled, making bursts of teeth-aching sounds.

"Ooooooo!"

"Dog planner is awesome!!!"

"Moved!! I can move!"

"Damn! Why is it a skeleton?!"

"Succubus?! I don't want a skeleton! I want a succubus!" (Voice breaking)

"Bad review! Why is there no little brother!"

"Pants... wait, where are my pants?! Damn! Without pants, how can I take them off?!"

"Woooooo... it's actually true! Completely immersive virtual reality online game... I actually played it in my lifetime!"

Those skeleton soldiers were like being possessed, while making creaking sounds, while jumping up and down in the mine cave, dancing and gesturing.

Luo Yan could of course understand what these players were shouting, and he had some expectations for their excited appearance.

After all, this appetite was fished by himself.

Compared to Luo Yan who was curling his mouth, the Silver Scimitar group lying on the ground had a completely different mood.

They couldn't understand what these guys were saying at all, and didn't even know they were talking. That creaking sound, heard in their ears, was just the friction sound of bones.

Looking at the scene of demons dancing, Gray Dog, who had finally calmed down, had fear written on his face again, trying his best to distance himself from them.

Chris was the same.

Especially when she saw a few skeletons leaning in front of her, moving their jaws creakingly as if to eat her, she was so scared that her soul was gone. SAN value finally broke through the lower limit.

Chris rolled her eyes, and finally fainted.

Didn't expect this game to be so real, so much so that an NPC could be scared faint by herself, the few players surrounding her were also injured.

Pig-headed Knight: "Damn! We seem to have scared the NPC faint!"

Bull-headed Warrior: "Blame you, for being so ugly!"

Pig-headed Knight: "Damn! Like you're handsome!"

Bull-headed Warrior: "%￥#@!"

Two skeletons knocked their chins with creaking sounds, spraying non-existent saliva at each other.

On the other side, someone discovered Bond's corpse.

Looking at that lump of meat paste chopped into pieces, a few skeletons with poor psychological quality couldn't help but retch, but there were also a few bold skeletons who squatted down and observed with interest.

"Ugh!"

"So disgusting!"

"Doesn't this game even censor?!"

"Dog planner come out! Someone said your code is gone!"

"Speaking of which, this person died miserably enough."

"Wait... my mine pick is stained with blood? So I killed the person???"

Just when the skeletons were commenting on the corpse, suddenly a skeleton shouted in surprise.

"Look what I found!"

The skeletons looked over one after another, only to see that guy holding a retro flintlock pistol... it should be dropped by that brother lying on the ground.

"He should have bullets on him!"

"Hurry! Hurry and look!"

Seeing that someone had already picked up equipment first, the skeletons realized that their way of playing was too cautious.

The players who came back to their senses immediately rummaged through the corpses on the ground, and in a short while, they stripped that lump of meat paste clean.

Don't know if it was because of the filter, this group of players was not afraid at all when "picking up equipment", and didn't feel disgusted... this saved him, the Demon King, a lot of trouble.

Recalling his appearance when he first learned necromancy magic, Luo Yan actually admired these sand-sculpture guys a bit.

However, now is not the time to manage this group of guys.

Just the moment the last player logged into the game, a row of ink-green dialogue boxes appeared in front of Luo Yan at the same time.

【Task: Prepare bodies for players to move freely (100/100) (Completed!)】

【Reward: 10,000 Faith Points!】

10,000 Faith Points arrived! Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Luo Yan opened the attribute panel without hesitation, and selected the promotion button behind the soul level.

Just the moment he pressed the button, a wave of ink-green energy poured out from the void, and then poured into his chest without stopping.

The pleasure of the soul being filled made Luo Yan couldn't help but let out a cheerful low moan.

Awesome! Simply too damn awesome!

Whether it was physically, or mentally!

Under the eyes of the players, Luo Yan, standing in a green light, completed the promotion from Bronze-tier soul to Steel-tier soul.

And the overflowing experience made him directly rise from LV30 to LV31! Breaking through the bottleneck he couldn't break through no matter what! 【

】

Looking at the brand-new attribute panel, Luo Yan was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

Eighteen years!

He finally took off the hat of the stubborn Bronze!

Luo Yan couldn't remember exactly which year he reached the peak of Bronze, and didn't want to spend that time recalling it.

He just wanted to enjoy this moment, quietly feeling the feeling of vast power filling every cell in his body.

Although a bit exaggerated, this was his truest feeling at this moment.

"... Didn't expect the attribute points added when breaking through from LV30 to LV31 were not 2 points, but a total of 25 points for all attributes!"

"Don't know how much the attribute growth brought by breaking through the Steel-tier bottleneck will be!"

Spirit power skyrocketed by a large margin!

He couldn't wait to try the Steel-tier magic he had learned a long time ago but couldn't use because his spirit power wasn't enough! Just when Luo Yan was laughing from ear to ear, a mediocre skeleton soldier suddenly trotted to his front, knelt on one knee in a decent way, and made a creaking sound in his mouth.

"Respected Demon King! I am your most, most, most loyal servant, 'Ye Zhiqiu'!"

"This humble person has already known the mission of me and others, please skip the plot explanation and directly bestow the task upon me!"
