Transcendent Dawn

Su Lu in the form of the Destruction Dragon, soared in the sky.

“Roar!”

“Growl!”

On the ground, a massive amount of Warmonsters formed a Beast Tide, dark and overwhelming, swamping the whole landscape.

“Hmph.”

Seeing this, a look of disdain appeared on his face as he took a sharp breath.

Boom!

The next moment, flames of destruction fell from the sky, covering a vast area.

Countless Warmonsters were reduced to ashes, only their Crystal Cores remained.

“If a big boss like me had to gather resources for you, I bet I could pile up a player to the fourth level in reality…”

Su Lu collected a large number of Crystal Cores and flew to a newly dug cave.

The cave was completely filled with dense crystal cores, radiating a dazzling, colorful light, creating a mesmerizing atmosphere.

Soon, the Shadow Clone would guide Luo Fei to steal this huge ‘Treasure of the Destruction Dragon’.

At this stage, due to the spread of the Crystal Core Refining Skill, the players were collectively going insane.

They used to sell Crystal Cores because it was just a game, or they had no other benefits, they never thought much about it.

But now, many players regretted to the point of vomiting blood, feeling like they had sold not just crystal cores, but their very lives!

Opportunities for real-world transcendence were in their hands, but they were taken away by the guilds for a mere pittance of Neil.

Thinking of this, they felt a surge of hatred.

The rate of player-to-player PK and revenge killings surged dramatically.

Of course, there were also pragmatists who had to accept their fate and mobilized a large force to brutally hunt down open-world Warmonsters.

Especially for Su Lu, this boss, who had been forced to run away several times and was finding it increasingly difficult.

At first, the players suffered a defeat, they were used to dealing with ‘mad and senseless’ Warmonsters, but when they encountered a smarter one, they were immediately thrown off.

And now, they had self-taught and developed a large number of tactics, especially the emergence of a large number of airborne troops, which made Su Lu feel a bit apprehensive, he no longer dared to kill indiscriminately until he was exhausted, instead, he would escape after using half of his strength.

If he couldn’t leave the Inner World, he would eventually be completely figured out by the players, and then be killed.

This was the horror of players!

After creating the ‘treasure vault’, he chose to lay down nearby and enter a deep sleep.

…

A few days later.

A sneaky figure appeared in the ‘Dragon Tomb’.

“Wow… I… I… That… That… Destruction…”

Luo Fei, looking at the giant-like figure with a terrifying aura, was at a loss for words.

“What are you afraid of, after all, you are a third-level occupational person.”

in his mind, the shadow clone sneered.

“Old man… But you didn’t tell me… the treasure is here…” Luo Fei said with a mournful face.

“Don’t be afraid, that Destruction Dragon is asleep, you sneaky pass it and the treasure is in the cave nearby.”

Under the guidance of himself and his shadow clone, Luo Fei found the secret cave without any trouble.

And then, he was stunned by the sea of Crystal Cores in front of him: “So much… so many Crystal Cores? I guess that’s enough to strengthen me to the fourth level in the real world, isn’t it?”

“Of course…” Su Lu said: “The energy here could keep you a ‘master’ for a while in the real world. If you had a fifth-level Crystal Core, you would be certain to break through the limit.”

Whether in the game or in reality, if you want to promote your Professional Rank, an equal quality crystal core is very important.

Or to put it another way, that high-level crystal core is the ‘primer’, and the other low-level crystal cores are just aids.

“Now… Start with the fourth level one, and there’s a pile of third level Crystal Cores nearby, they should last you for a while… After a while, the Destruction Dragon might have been driven away, then we can come back to dig up this treasure!”

The Shadow Clone quickly instructed Luo Fei.

“Ok… Okay.”

Luo Fei took out a large bag, filled it with Crystal Cores and sneaked past the huge Destruction Dragon, looking like a thief with a full load returning home.

“Hmm… I wonder what this boss would drop?”

As he was leaving, he couldn’t help looking back and mumbling to himself.

Just then, he noticed the Destruction Dragon’s eyelid twitch.

“Damn… it’s waking up.”

Luo Fei, scared out of his wits, ran for his life.

“Hmph… Another boring creature, even daring to covet me.”

Su Lu opened his eyes, his nostril filled with flames.

In fact, once they found out that he was an intelligent Boss, given the players’ suicidal nature, there were naturally those who attempted to communicate with him.

But he killed them in one breath, to avoid revealing anything abnormal.

“After all, the black hand behind the scenes may be among the players, and the so-called top ten masters list. I have already got it, all of them are at the peak of the fourth level, only a little away from the fifth level…”

Su Lu thought indifferently: “Given the nature of that black hand, he must be at his wit’s end by now.”

Once the Crystal Core Refining Skill was released, the hardest hit was naturally the Job Introduction Office, now almost no players were willing to go there to be exploited.

“However… I’m not a native boss, which means this world is still unable to produce a fifth-level crystal core, is it due to the concentration of the Spirit Tide?”

…

Meanwhile.

In the Outer World, in a certain villa.

“Damn it… Damn! Who exactly leaked the secret of the Crystal Core?”

A teenager with messy hair like a chicken coop and a pale face grabbed his own hair: “The players have found out this secret… If this continues, I’ll go bankrupt!”

He seemed like an ordinary otaku, but there was a strong sense of confidence in his eyes, as if he was the dominator of the world.

After roaring a few times, he went to the basement, and a colorful screen appeared in his hand:

“Lord God World”

“Online Number: 56.91 million.”

“Energy reserves: 8 million Crystal.”

“Daily consumption: 80 thousand Crystal.”

…

This divine artifact was also his biggest trump card.

He was originally just an ordinary programmer, but after obtaining this divine artifact, he immediately hit the pinnacle of life.

However, the use conditions for the divine artifact were very harsh, and it also required a huge amount of energy, which he alone could not satisfy.

Fortunately, he was originally an online game programmer, and he immediately thought of making an online game to harvest the wool of many players, barely completing the divine artifact.

Although he charged a lot, in reality, 90% of it was used to maintain the operation of this divine artifact, as well as the perfection and consumption of the player’s various main cities in the Inner World.

Now that the crystal core income was cut, it was a loss.

“Hmm?”

At that moment, his eyes moved and a screen appeared in front of him: “Have you found him at last? The Pioneer?”
