After Bai Qiu left, Li Zhu and Marta quietly glanced around.
Only after confirming that no other [Supporters] were nearby did they begin to talk.
“You think… how much should we sell these battle recordings for later?” Li Zhu asked first.
“Not sure, depends on the quality! I’ve decided the first video clip will sell for no less than 500 Sanctum Coins. That way, we can instantly earn back what we spent!” Marta replied.
“Hiss… aren’t you being a bit too ruthless? Ten five-minute clips, and the first one already costs 500 Sanctum Coins? Do you think everyone is that rich?!” Li Zhu said.
These [Supporters] couldn’t leave the Sanctuary’s barrier, nor did they have access to the player communication channel.
Their daily lives were rather lacking in entertainment, so the interesting happenings among players had become their main source of amusement.
But as things stood, many [Supporters] simply couldn’t afford to spend 500 Sanctum Coins on entertainment…
“What do you know? I’m pricing it high not to rely on small profits and large sales. Our main audience—aside from the two of us—is that little girl, Guinelia!”
“Didn’t you notice? Her feelings toward that boy are different from everyone else’s! And now she’s the richest little rich girl in the entire Sanctuary! No matter how expensive it is, she’ll definitely buy it!” Marta reminded him.
Only then did Li Zhu suddenly understand.
So Marta never planned to sell to everyone in the Sanctuary—she was just targeting that absurdly wealthy little ‘rabbit’ and squeezing her dry!
“And after the first wave passes, once the system unlocks the Zone chat channel between us [Supporters], we can make another fortune off these video stocks!” Marta’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a sly merchant’s grin.
“As expected of you!”
…
“Tap! Tap! Tap!”
Bai Qiu moved like a raging hurricane, rampaging through the streets and crushing the monsters in his path.
He had teleported to Safe Zone No. 2245 and began advancing from there, killing monsters along the way as he traveled—utterly exhilarating!
“Whoosh!” He infused mana into the Dragon Slayer Set MAX.
Instantly, streaks of striking black and red patterns began to emerge across the entire silver armor.
Magical circuits extended from the two elemental crystals, quickly spreading throughout the whole set!
“ROAR!!”
Along with a surge of dark crimson flames shooting into the sky, Bai Qiu looked like a messenger from hell, his entire body enveloped in infernal abyssal fire.
The intense heat distorted even the surrounding air.
Strangely, Bai Qiu himself was completely unaffected.
On the contrary, after activating the armor’s automatic counter-defense mode with mana infusion, the feedback energy from the armor amplified every part of his body!
This allowed him to operate at full capacity without needing to breathe.
In fact, without the need to maintain a breathing rhythm, his movements became even more seamless, with not the slightest pause!
Yet, he didn’t rush into action.
Instead, he slowly walked toward a Dragonfang Crawling Walker.
The moment it saw Bai Qiu, it lunged forward—only to be ignited by the abyssal hellfire upon contact, turning into ashes within moments!
The same happened to ordinary monsters like Dragonfang Soldiers and Dragonfang Battle-Axe Skeletons.
He didn’t even need to attack anymore—just the burning counter-effect of the abyssal hellfire was enough to kill them all!
At present, ordinary monsters are generally above Level 14 and below Level 17, while elite monsters range from above Level 16 to below Level 20.
The gap between them and Bai Qiu was simply too great.
Against these monsters, he had already lost interest in killing them with weapons!
Even if he were to face four Cavalry Lords again—or even more—he was confident he could easily eliminate them!
“Tap! Tap! Tap!”
Bai Qiu took out the Sword of Hatred and fastened it at his waist, then launched into a charge!
In an instant, the overwhelming swarm of monsters rushing toward him was torn apart upon impact, burned into ashes and vanishing.
At times he struck with his elbows, at times with his fists, at times locking throats—switching between various methods as he brutally crushed the monsters charging at him!
…
Three kilometers south of Zone 2246, a stern-faced male player was wrapping bandages around himself while biting open a bottle of healing potion and downing it in one gulp.
Beside him stood an extraordinary-looking spear.
The surroundings were in complete disarray, clearly the aftermath of a fierce battle!
“Hmph! Just you wait, Bai Qiu! Since we’re both in the Lancer class, I will definitely surpass you!” he muttered coldly.
Immediately, he stood up, pulled the spear out of the ground, and prepared to continue farming monsters!
“Yaa!” A group of Dragonfang Soldiers screeched as they charged toward him, letting out sharp, piercing cries.
“Perfect timing!” the stern young man shouted, gripping his spear and preparing for battle.
His gaze locked tightly onto the Dragonfang Soldiers in the air, predicting in real time when they would spit fireballs, ready to skewer them with a single thrust once they got close!
“Whoosh—” However, the Dragonfang Soldiers didn’t even linger on him for a fraction of a second.
They flew past several meters above his head and headed straight behind him…
???
The stern young man was completely dumbfounded.
He turned his gaze behind him but couldn’t see anything.
Just then…
“Tap! Tap! Tap!”
A group of cavalry skeletons riding skeletal warhorses charged in from the front—one… two… three… a total of five riders.
Such numbers made his expression more serious than ever as he held his spear and assumed a battle stance.
Battle Intent Amplification!
Hyper Acceleration activated!
“Neigh—!”
The warhorses charged toward him, but just a few meters away, they suddenly leapt into the air—jumping nearly ten meters, vaulting right over his head.
Before his attack could even begin, they had already run far away!
???
He was completely stunned.
Why weren’t these monsters attacking him?
They were even treating him as if he didn’t exist.
Could it be that he had unlocked some kind of invisibility talent? Could they not see him?
The stern young man couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild.
“Tap! Tap! Tap!”
The crisp and rapid sound of iron boots striking the ground rang out.
The stern young man followed the sound and saw, a hundred meters away, an armored figure engulfed in black-and-red flames charging toward him!
Those Dragonfang Soldiers were instantly wiped out—he leapt forward, killing three with a single elbow strike, then upon landing casually slapped two more to death.
In the blink of an eye, all the Dragonfang Soldiers that had just flown past him were dead!
The Dragonfang Cavalry Skeletons charged at the flaming armored figure, both the warhorses and skeletons letting out piercing screeches, as if they intended to trample him into pulp.
The next second—the blazing armored figure didn’t retreat but instead advanced, charging even faster toward the cavalry skeletons.
With a flash of light in his hand, a long spear covered in intricate magical patterns appeared!
In almost the blink of an eye, the spear was also engulfed in the same dark crimson flames as the armor.
The gems at both the tip and the butt of the spear shone brilliantly, and a spear strike tore through the air with a thunderous sonic boom!
The five charging cavalry skeletons and their warhorses were torn apart at nearly the same instant, their bodies ignited by the eerie dark-red flames before turning into white light and vanishing.
Is he… a player?
