Chapter 352: Merging Of Worlds 16

The competition Part 2

/*unedited*/

Hundreds of players are standing in the village center where a man wearing a knight's armor and holding a scroll is currently standing atop a wooden platform. When saw that there are many people gathered around him a satisfied smile appear on his face.

He held the scroll up high and began reading its content.

"Hear-ye! Hear-ye! Hear-ye!" the man shouted out loud as his voice reverberated throughout the village.

"In four days' time, the Kingdom of Vale will hold a contest to search for the 16 best players in the land and maybe 1 special player to be rank as one of the top 4 players in the entire continent. And after the contest, these players would then be sent to face a tough opponent… the green dragon. This task would be perilous and only those that have the strength and determination to conquer their fear and rise above rest would obtain the glory and riches they sole desired." The man read with vigor and passion as if he is the one saying the words on the scroll.

"The reward for the 100 players would be as such… Armor of the Crows. An armor that can be equipped by anyone and would provide +5 to all stats, invulnerability on sneak attacks 5 times with a 1-day cooldown, 50 mana gemstones, and 20 high tier healing potions. The top 4 players will be given a special reward of their choice. And the top 20 players can have the whole carcass of the green dragon."

When the players heard the reward every one of them had their eyes wide open. The armor itself is already considered as a treasure, and the rest, how much more is the whole corpse of the green dragon?

'Merging Worlds' does not randomly produce items. One can get anything inside the-wisp. A player can even choose to take out the whole corpse if they wanted to. But of course, those are only done by special players with unique aesthetics and taste.

However, to take out a green dragon corpse, one needs to have the sought out unlimited space bag.

But still, if a player can get a bone or even just a scale or two, they can already gain too much from it. A bone would be turned into a weapon, while a scale can be turned into armor.

With these rewards everyone became excited, even the newbies who have already researched about 'Merging Worlds' became enthralled to hear the contest and the quest.

While listening, Shin Jiao is once again amazed at Central's way of processing things. He also knew that this event would combine all the strongest players in all six sever in one setting. So, 96 strong players plus the top 4 players which are 100 players in total would participate in this special quest.

With this information, he smiles and walks out of the village. His goal is to once again go out and fight to his heart contents.

Shin Jiao knew that only in this world he can go all out and not cause too much trouble. Unlike in the outside world where laws and peace are very crucial, in this place where the strong dominates, he wanted to be free from worries and care.

…

The tranquility of the deep forest where powerful beasts reside was suddenly shaken by a loud booming sound and the shaking of the ground.

As this happens, beast of every kind began running away from their habitats and a large stampede began.

The cause of this is a figure of a young man and a large beast with the shape of half lion and half bull. The beast's upper torso is a huge lion while it's lower half part is that of a strong bull. Plus it has a scorpion's tail which contains a deadly poison. This combination of power, strength, and poison made this beast one of the strongest creatures in this deep forest.

This place is the farthest boundary between beginner's village and the dark forest where a normal player below level 30 hunts.

Shin Jiao continuously fights with beasts in this place without even thinking of his growth. And unknown to him he has reached the lair of a level 30 boss, the Manticore.

"Ugh,��� This guy is stronger than I thought." Shin Jiao muttered as he picks himself up.

Then he noticed the blinking icon for his stats. He didn't want to bother with it, but Shin Jiao decided to check quickly.

"Wow, I guess I level up really fast by fighting those monsters." Shin Jiao thought as he turns his attention back to the growling beast in front of him.

"Hmm… I need a weapon to fight against that thing. But I guess I can make do with anything."

Shin Jiao looks around and found a couple of stones.

With a quick movement, he ran towards the stones and grabs a handful of them. However, once Shin Jiao's figure passes through the place, a long sharp scorpion tail suddenly hits the ground followed by the huge figure of the Manticore.

Crash!!!

Dust and rocks flew around as the Manticore misses its target. But it didn't stop there as it continuously pounces at Shin Jiao non-stop.

But Shin Jiao didn't relax as he too attacked the pouncing beast with the stones in his hand. Each point he hits is a vital point of the beast making it move slower in every attack it receives.

Not long later, its movement became dull as it began to stagger.

Since the game is based on a real-world physique and anatomy Shin Jiao was able to exploit the beast's weakness.

Not long later, a Manticore's corpse is already lying on the ground turning into a wisp. Shin Jiao walks towards the wisp to gather check the loot, but he stops from his track. He carefully bends down and picks a handful of stones.

"That was a nice fight…" a voice entered his ears and a couple of figures appears from behind him.

Since he was too concentrated in fighting the Manticore, Shin Jiao focused his spirit sense on the beast's movements and attacks. He didn't notice that a bit of a distance from him, there are a player looking at the fight with greed in their eyes.

Shin Jiao can feel the greed in each of the player's eyes in the area.

He quickly uses his spirit sense this time and within the span of 50 meters he detected 10 players. He didn't know if there are more outside that range, but he can feel that the players are strong. Judging from their armor and weapons, these players have been in this beginner's area for a while.

Suddenly, his mind was startled when he thought of something.

From the corner of his eyes, he pulls out the map and saw that he seems to have wandered a bit. This area is not anymore under the beginner's area. It's actually a hunting ground for players level 30 and above.

"Haha… I was too caught up in the moment of having too much fun. Sigh… what do these stupid people want?" Shin Jiao thought.

He is thinking up to why do these people wanted to attack a player that can solo a level 30 boss monster? But he can barely guess that sometimes greed can blind any person especially when the game is close to realism as it could be.

They can't even see their opponent's level except for those who have gotten special skills to see other's stats.

"Hey, you… we won't bother with you as long as you give us all your loots so far and leave this place… It would be a waste if you get killed and suffer a 10% exp penalty for dying and 24 hours login restriction, right? Keke…" the slim man with a crooked nose said while grinning.

"Haha… you're too kind today Mirth… Haha…"

"This is not your usual self, why don't we just kill that guy and be done with it… haha…"

"Yeah, this is just a waste of time…"

The people around Mirth said. However, deep in his heart, he is cursing the people around him.

"Shit! How can these bozos be that stupid? Can't they see how easily he takes down that Manticore? A bunch of trash! They would be the death of me in the future… Damn it! Let's just do this and be over with it."

However, he didn't show this in his face as he looks at Shin Jiao.

"Don't mind their words, I'm feeling merciful today and wanted to let you off… Now, hand over your loots and be gone." shouted Mirth in anger.

Seeing the angry expression on the man, Shin Jiao smirks.

When everyone saw this, they immediately went incensed. But contrary to their expression, Mirth gulped a mouthful of saliva and thought.

"Oh, damn…"
