Chapter 74 "A Glimmer of Cold Light Arrives First, Then the Spear Strikes Like a Dragon!" (Seven updates upon release!)
```
As Chen Yi was about to say something.
Suddenly the chat channel on his personal panel trembled.
"Jiaye: Yi, are you asleep? There are quite a few more monsters outside the city. My brother and I are fighting them outside. Do you want to join us, Yi?"
Chen Yi's eyebrows slightly raised as he turned his head to look at his reflection in the mirror, pondering for a moment before replying.
"Okay, send me the exact coordinates."
Soon.
Jiaye sent over the exact coordinates, followed by a playful expression with a sticking-out tongue.
"Let's go."
After Chen Yi got ready, he glanced at the Tuberculosis Rabbit next to him still browsing the Fashion Store: "I'm heading out to fight monsters in the suburbs. Jiaye and the others are there too."
Before leaving.
Feeling a chill around the crotch area, he bought an E-grade underwear from the Fashion Store to wear.
The underwear didn't belong to any Fashion Set; it was a standalone piece.
It was an optional purchase.
But he was used to wearing it, so he bought a pair anyway since it wasn't expensive—just 10 Points.
However, most players in Yancheng didn't have spare Points to spend, which meant that for a long time, most players in Yancheng would have to experience a period of going commando.
Sled activated.
In just a few minutes, Chen Yi arrived at the coordinates provided by Jiaye.
At first glance, there were quite a few monsters sprawled across the plains and forests on the outskirts of the suburbs, but each monster was spaced out, about 1 meter apart from the next, not as dense as an Insect Tide.
Minotaur Monster.
Standing about two meters tall, these muscle-bound bovines wielded enormous stone axes, dotting the plains with a formidable presence.
Many players had also made their way over throughout the night.
Almost all the players were uniformly clad in white boxer shorts, clutching all sorts of weapons, attacking the monsters either solo or in groups.
The monsters' aggro was determined by distance and damage.
Monsters would target the player who stepped into their territory and dealt the most damage to them.
This also meant the possibility of kiting was present, and there was no need to worry about attracting the aggro of all the monsters by attacking one.
By the time they arrived.
Quite a few players were looking admiringly at a certain player among the monsters, clapping and shouting continuously.
"Awesome, bro, your moves are slick!"
"Kite another one, kite another one!"
"Be careful, brother, don't get too greedy!"
The player who had garnered the attention of many was seriously wielding a dagger, eyes keenly watching the monster's attacking motion, and at the moment a strike was launched, the player quickly rolled under the monster!
During the roll, the player lifted a hand and stabbed under the monster!
While this player was bending and rolling, another Minotaur Monster happened to catch up from behind.
The full-force strike meant for the player in the front landed heavily on the head of the chasing Minotaur Monster from behind!
Although the health bar was not visible, the scream of the monster hit conveyed that a significant amount of health had been lost.
This player had impressively drawn the aggro of 4 monsters at once!
With agile movements, the player continuously dodged, causing the 4 monsters to attack each other, gradually wearing down their health bars.
The dagger in hand was opportunistic, targeting the monsters' vital areas with each stab.
Every heavy blow from the monsters was narrowly avoided by the player.
This player was Han Yu.
"Well done!!!"
The surrounding players were once again impressed by the scene, and a group of players in white boxer shorts started clapping and cheering again!
As Han Yu heard the applause, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly; her heart was not at ease but was even more tense.
Finally, after one minute.
All four monsters collapsed almost simultaneously.
Han Yu quickly gathered the items dropped by the monster corpses into her arms, heard the notification sound of Points reward for killing a monster in her ear, and stood in place taking a relieved breath.
Hearing the cheers from the crowd, pride flashed in her eyes as she looked towards her parents in the crowd, raising her dagger high into the air, her mouth opened in a silent shout!
She was dressed in a "black suit" that she had bought for less than 100 Points, and had also bought a set for her parents so that at their age, they wouldn't have to stand in front of everyone in newbie briefs.
During the fight with Cupid, she had earned quite a few Points.
This amount of Points was not much for her.
Just at that moment—
Standing among the crowd, Han Yu suddenly noticed the crowd fall silent and looked up at the sky, pausing for a moment before also looking over her shoulder in the direction everyone was staring.
Suspended in mid-air was a massive Christmas sled.
And sitting on the sled were two men.
One dressed in a teddy bear onesie, sporting more than a dozen titles over his head.
The other clad in a beach outfit, with three or four titles floating above.
Seeing the two men who had appeared behind her without notice, Han Yu froze for a second without speaking, just gripping her dagger tighter and with lips firmly pressed, eyes filled with tenacity and aspiration.
She knew that man.
Chen Yi.
Although Chen Yi didn't know her, she had known about him for a long time.
During the fight with Cupid, Chen Yi was ranked above her.
When the Insect Tide came, Chen Yi single-handedly killed all of the Insect Race monsters.
When the Sands of Time Map appeared in the Yancheng suburbs, Chen Yi spent 3 days clearing the dungeon and left behind a guide for others.
This man... seemed like a mountain looming over all players in Yancheng, and also a mountain over her.
Someday!
She too wanted to be like Chen Yi, basking in the awe and admiration of all players, putting her own parents in the place that Chen Yi now occupied.
...
"This kid looks familiar."
```
Sitting in the sleigh, the Tuberculosis Rabbit turned its head to look at Han Yu and couldn't help but click its tongue, "I feel like I've seen it several times already; being able to afford a Fashion Set at this stage means their strength mustn't be lacking."
"Why would they buy a suit if the main hand weapon is a dagger, though."
"It feels a bit out of place, doesn't it? As an assassin, opting for a white robe, like the one from the Assassin's Creed series, might look cooler."
"This black suit seems more suitable for someone whose main hand weapon is a spear, and then, upon launching the spear, they'd yell out—"
"One gleam of cold light arrives first, followed by a Spear Like a Dragon!"
The Tuberculosis Rabbit, perhaps imagining something, started gesturing in the air with its hands.
Meanwhile.
Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and noticed Jiaye in the crowd; she was not hard to find.
Amongst the newcomers in uniform white underpants, Jiaye sat on Tie Chui's shoulder in a suspender dress, barefoot, swinging her feet in boredom; she was quite the eyesore.
With Tie Chui's build, it wasn't the least bit awkward for Jiaye to sit on his shoulder.
Just like Nunu.
It was clear that Jiaye had changed into the Fashion Set she had drawn in the Sands of Time; for some reason, she wasn't wearing shoes, and she had a bracelet made of willow branches on her fair wrist.
She had a number of small accessories on her person.
It looked like she had taken her time picking things out from the Fashion Store.
And rightly so.
Girls tend to be more interested in Fashion Stores, of course, though the Tuberculosis Rabbit also had a considerable interest in them.
Chen Yi casually glanced at the players below who were looking up at him.
Only then did he rise from his seat, resting one hand on his staff as he stood at the edge of the sleigh and said softly,
"Invincible Under the Heavens!"
In the next second—
The "Invincible Under the Heavens" Title Effect activated, and a supreme yellow translucent staircase, starting from the edge of the sleigh, quickly extended towards Jiaye in the crowd, until it reached the ground in front of her.
Then Chen Yi, with a calm expression, single-handedly leaned on his staff and stepped onto the staircase with steady and rhythmic strides, like a descending deity, walking towards Jiaye amidst the crowd.
The Tuberculosis Rabbit also stood up, bringing a fist to their mouth to cough lightly, then changed its leg tattoos to floral patterns, dressed up in Hawaiian style, and followed behind Yi with a proud and upright posture.
When this scene unfolded,
The players below, looking up at Chen Yi, were stunned into silence, gazing at the Sky Ladder above their heads, awestruck.
Was this thing... also a Prop?
Why hadn't they ever seen it before!
But upon seeing the endpoint of the Sky Ladder, that delicate girl in a suspender dress sitting on the broad-shouldered man, barefoot,
The envy and jealousy in the eyes of the others intensified!
A fine woman had fallen for some brute!!
...
Upon seeing the girl in the crowd who stood out so prominently, Han Yu felt a touch of quiet inferiority as he lowered his head, but the dagger in his hand gripped a bit tighter.
Only a powerful man is worthy of such a woman.
He too must grow stronger quickly!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
He too must find his own fair lady!
The times were different now.
Classes were no longer fixed; as long as one was willing to fight and had a bit of luck, anyone could leap across classes.
He, Han Yu, would have his chance too!
...
"So showy."
Li Yide, also standing amidst the crowd, couldn't help but feel irked as he shook the Fox Tail at his backside, lighting a cigarette and putting it to his lips, "Everyone knows he's formidable, but does he have to flaunt it like this?"
"It's really irritating."
"Look at those girls, their eyes are practically sparkling, and no one even notices the Fashion Set I bought for a hefty price."
"This feeling of being upstaged is really unpleasant."
"But on second thought, is that Sky Ladder a Prop or a Skill, and how did he get it? Do we have a chance of getting one too?"
"I've never seen this thing in the 'Invincible Under the Heavens' Points Store event."
...
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Chen Yi descended the Sky Ladder, silently deactivated the staircase effect behind him, and as the ladder turned into a faint yellow dust that dissipated into smoke, he then looked towards Tie Chui and Jiaye in front of him, his lips lifting into a smile as he said,
"Let's go, together to slay some monsters." Find more to read at empire
He then pulled out a cigarette and offered it to Tie Chui, "Long time no see, brother."
"Brother... you look so commanding..."
Although Tie Chui was a bit slow, for some reason, he was very receptive to the gesture of being offered a cigarette, his eyes lighting up as he took the cigarette from Chen Yi's hand.
He then looked at Chen Yi with a simple smile and gave him a thumbs-up.
Chen Yi chuckled softly and didn't reply; he had understood the principle of showcasing one's best while working hard behind the scenes since he was young.
"How about it?"
And then—
Jiaye, who sat on Tie Chui's shoulders, wiggled her red nail-polished, delicate feet, drawing Chen Yi's gaze towards her. She looked at him expectantly and asked, "Does this Fashion Set look good?"
...
