Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent

Chapter 54: Chris's Plan and Exploring The Secret Area



In the previous life, John had never heard of such a thing.

It seemed that Chris had gained a significant opportunity in the novice village, which explained his prolonged stay there.

Chris had never played online games before and didn't treat the world of Gods as a game but rather as reality.

With a serious expression, Chris said, "This is just the first step of my plan. I intend to integrate the strengths of various Ancient Martial Arts families within the world of Gods. I have a feeling that the world of Gods will have a substantial impact on reality."

John was surprised that Chris had such a deep understanding of the world of Gods after such a short time.

However, the impact would be more than just substantial; it would be disastrous.

Looking at Chris, John hesitated for a moment but then said, "Old master, you have sharp insight, but the influence of the world of Gods might be even more terrifying, potentially bringing about a catastrophe."

"Oh? What do you know?" Chris looked at John with curiosity.

John shook his head, unwilling to say more.

The integration of the world of Gods with reality was too unbelievable, and he didn't want to reveal too many secrets.

Chris stared intently at John, feeling that he couldn't see through the young man in front of him.

There was definitely something mysterious about him.

Initially, he thought John's combat skills were honed through experience in the world of Gods.

However, after experiencing it himself, he realized it wasn't that simple.

He and the elite martial artists of the Blues Family had all tried life-and-death battles in the world of Gods.

But their improvement was minimal. Such combat skills couldn't be developed overnight.

"Let's talk in the study," Chris said, heading towards the study behind him.

John, puzzled, quickly followed.

Chris pointed to a chair beside him and began, "I have a plan that requires your cooperation."

John looked at Chris in confusion but nodded, saying, "As long as it's something I can do, I won't refuse."

Chris made a surprising statement, "Originally, I intended to match you with Tracy and hand over the responsibility of the Blues Family to you."

John was startled and quickly waved his hands, "Old master, please don't joke. I'm just an outsider."

Ancient Martial Arts families have a strict hierarchy. While the Blues Family promotes harmony and equality, it is only within the family. If John were to become the head of the Blues Family, there would definitely be a lot of opposition.

Chris ignored John's protest and continued, "But I've changed my mind now."

He paused, his expression serious, and said calmly, "The Ancient Martial Arts families have been disunited for too long. John, I need someone to bring these scattered forces together again."

John immediately stood up from his chair, staring at Chris in astonishment. "Senior, you must be joking. This is even more impossible than making me the head of the Blues Family."

Throughout the continent, there are dozens of Ancient Martial Arts families. They are very proud and do not submit to anyone.

To make them acknowledge your leadership, you would have to defeat them, and not in a one-on-one duel, but in a group fight.

Each family has its own experts, like Chris from the Blues Family.

John's strength was formidable, but not enough to challenge all the Ancient Martial Arts families.

Even against Chris, the outcome of a real fight was uncertain.

Chris, however, had complete confidence in John and firmly stated, "You are the only suitable candidate. And I'm not asking you to act right now. I'll first teach you the Blues Family's martial arts techniques."

Seeing that John was about to refuse again, he continued, "If what you say is true, this concerns the future of humanity. We must unite the major human forces, and besides you, I can't think of anyone more suitable."

John fell silent, unsure how to argue against this.

Moreover, he was also very tempted by this plan.

He had already witnessed the power of the Ancient Martial Arts families.

In the previous life, the Blues Family's ten thousand elite fighters fought to the death, holding back the vanguard of the Dark Humans.

If he could unite the Ancient Martial Arts families and other forces to fight against the entire Dark Humans, it was entirely possible.

"Alright, I agree!" John wasn't one to overthink things, especially considering the larger responsibility he carried in this life.

"Good lad, you have guts. I knew I wasn't wrong about you." Chris nodded in satisfaction, taking out a book of martial arts techniques and handing it to John. "This is the Blues Family's technique manual, modified to incorporate the classes from the world of Gods. It will significantly help you improve your strength."

"Thank you, Senior," John replied, carefully storing the manual.

...

By the time he returned to his place, it was already noon.

Sini and Tracy had both entered the world of Gods.

John flipped through the manual in his hand. It was a set of Ancient Martial Arts mental cultivation methods, obscure and difficult to understand, making it hard for an ordinary person to practice. Fortunately, with the attributes merged from the world of Gods, his body had undergone significant enhancement, and his strong mental attributes would help him comprehend and master this technique.

The only downside was that this technique could only be practiced in the real world. "Never mind, I'll enter the world of Gods first." John didn't rush into things, returning to his room and connecting to the game pod to enter the world of Gods.

...

John reappeared in Death Land.

A few elves were busy under The Tree of Life, but Anna was nowhere to be seen.

He didn't pay much attention to it, summoning the black dragon Avis and leaving Death Land.

John's figure disappeared, reappearing near the Silverleaf City teleportation point.

In front of him was a massive pit; the surrounding buildings and the teleportation point had

all turned into nothingness.

The area was still filled with a powerful, terrifying energy.

John couldn't help but think of the beggar.

Although he was a Dark Human, he had chosen the side of justice. Unfortunately, he met his

end this way.

Up until now, John still didn't know the beggar's name.

Fortunately, killing those two demon guards had fulfilled one of his wishes.

"I wonder how many more people will have to die on the path to confronting the gods. Still

too weak..." John felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

He had a long way to go in this life.

Now, he was only at level 60, tier three. Reaching tier nine or even tier ten might make it

possible to fight against the gods, perhaps even kill them.

A renewed sense of determination ignited in John's heart.

"Master, what happened here?" Avis's body trembled. The overwhelming, destructive aura

made him feel fearful.

John didn't say much; the descent of a god was too shocking a matter and might scare Avis.

He jumped onto Avis's back and said, "To the Eternal Forest."

John decided to explore the treasure of the Gates Empire in The Secret Area.

The teleportation point here had been destroyed, but fortunately, Avis had awakened and broken through, so he didn't need to travel on foot.

John sent a private message to Sini and Tracy, intending to take them along to explore The

Secret Area and help them level up.

Most importantly, they could help him with looting.

...

John arrived at the outskirts of the Eternal Forest, where the two women were already

waiting.

The powerful beasts and wandering orcs made them wary of venturing too far.

"Old man, what did my grandpa want from you?" Tracy, seeing John, happily approached and

asked.

"That's adult business, little kids shouldn't worry about it," John replied with mock

annoyance.

"Nonsense, I'm not a kid!" Tracy said indignantly, putting her hands on her hips.

John couldn't help but be drawn to her ample chest, indeed, not small at all. "Alright," Sini stepped forward and said, "John, weren't you going to help us level up? Are we continuing to hunt orcs?"

She had been caught in the ambush targeting John, which had dropped her level down to 30. After two days, she had only managed to level up twice.

Sini realized how difficult leveling up was and that it was much faster to do so with John.

"We're not hunting orcs anymore. We're going to explore The Secret Area. Leveling up will be much faster there," John said as he invited the two women into his party. He then jumped onto Avis's back, heading towards the coordinates of the Gates Empire's treasure in The

Secret Area.

In the dense forest, powerful tree monsters and solitary orcs roamed.

John blasted his way through without wasting much time and soon arrived at the coordinates

marked for The Secret Area.

The treasure of the Gates Empire was in a heroic difficulty Secret Area, requiring a tier-three profession to enter, with a recommendation for tier-four and above to explore.

Confident in his abilities, John crushed the scroll.

Buzz!

A hum filled the air as spatial energy rippled, enveloping John, the others, and the black

dragon Avis.

In a flash, they appeared in a desolate desert, with a distant city half-buried under yellow

sand.

Notification appeared

[Entering tier-three Secret Area: Treasure of the Gates Empire; Heroic difficulty] [Objective: Obtain the treasure of the Gates Empire; S-rank and above will receive additional

item rewards]

[Upon death or obtaining the treasure, the Secret Area will disappear]

Whoosh...

The wind howled, lifting clouds of sand that stung their faces.

Rustle...

Suddenly, the sand beneath them shifted.

Avis, sensing danger, took flight immediately. Roar, roar...

Giant, menacing worms emerged from the sand.

They were level 60 sandworms.

"Avis, let me handle this," John said as he noticed Avis preparing to attack.

By killing the beasts himself, John could not only gain attribute points but also increase his

Kill Score.

He let loose his magical energy.

Rain of Fire descended, and the massive sandworms writhed in the inferno, getting instantly

killed.

[Killed level 60 sandworm, gained 70 experience points] [Killed level 60 sandworm, gained 70 experience points]

[Plunder talent activated, gained 1 skill point]

"John, how is your damage output so terrifying?" Sini asked, watching the experience points

increase rapidly.

She struggled against monsters of her own level, while John effortlessly wiped out hordes of

level 60 monsters.

This made her feel the gap between them growing wider.

"Can't help it, I'm just too handsome," John replied, full of self-love.

Sini rolled her eyes in response.

"Yeah, right!" Tracy scoffed.

John ignored them, picking up the two pieces of equipment dropped by the sandworms.

Both were tier-three fine quality, but they were beneath his notice, so he stashed them away

carelessly.

"Avis, move on," John instructed, pointing towards the abandoned city buried under the

sand.

Avis flew close to the ground.

Hidden sandworms erupted from the sand but were all brutally slain by John.

"Master, there are level 70 fire lizards ahead," Avis alerted John.

In the desert below, huge lizards lay sprawled out, seemingly unbothered by John and his

companions.

However, John had no intention of sparing them.
