My Notoriety Spreads Throughout the World-Chapter 416 - 356: You’s Layered Schemes
"Roar!" The muscular monster slammed the giant axe in its hand onto the ground, and the large cracks spread all the way toward the dark red-haired girl not far away!
Chichu Chun lightly leaped like a dragonfly skimming water, her toes gently tapping on the axe's back, quickly stepping up. The twin daggers in her hands swiftly slashed twice. Blood erupted from the monster's neck, splattering like a blossoming blood flower across the girl's vision.
「HP—184, you dealt slashing damage to the 'Executioner'. This damage triggered the passive skill 'Throat Slashing', adding a bleeding effect!」
But that wasn't all. Chichu Chun slightly bent over, her whole body leaping into the air. The tip of her other boot flicked out a sharp blade, spinning 180 degrees, tracing a half-moon arc in the air. Her movements were as graceful as a gymnast, dancing with death!
「HP—210, you dealt slashing damage to the 'Executioner'. This damage triggered the passive skill 'Crippling Strike', applying slow, silence, and weakness effects!
In just a blink of an eye, cross-shaped blood marks burst forth simultaneously from the monster's chest and neck. The Executioner roared madly, wildly sweeping the heavy axe in hand!
Beneath the raining blood, Chichu Chun's dance was agile, her body leaning back. The rusted wind of blood roared past, her hair crashing into two segments against the axe blade as she savored the murderous intent brushing past her mortal parts, lifting a confident smile.
Backflipping a few steps to Xu Xiaoyou's side, Chichu Chun imitated a gymnast who had just completed a performance, spreading her hands open, looking at Xu Xiaoyou with complacency.
Seeing Xu Xiaoyou's attention had never been on her, Chichu Chun's face drooped, a jumble of scribbles appeared above her head. She stepped back to avoid the incoming heavy axe, hooking her hands behind her while humming a lullaby, skillfully maneuvering on the axe back.
"Sigh." Xu Xiaoyou sighed lightly.
Chichu Chun sat on the shoulder of the berserker Executioner, her slender legs swaying: "What's wrong, you look worried."
"No, it's nothing." Xu Xiaoyou shook her head, "Be careful, the Executioner's already berserk, don't get carried away."
"No rush."
Chichu Chun clamped her legs around the Executioner's neck, maintaining perfect balance no matter how the latter thrashed its body. In the most thrilling moment, her head nearly scraped the ground, her dark red hair like a blooming camellia.
"The time in the Eternal Tower isn't enough for us to climb the next floor."
Chichu Chun said, suddenly standing up to embrace the Executioner's head, her waist bending in an unfathomably flexible arc, with dark red pupils seemingly etching the Executioner's hateful visage, grinning wide.
"Let me enjoy a bit more fun!"
She wildly stabbed the two raised daggers into the Executioner's eye sockets, gripping the hilt ends, steering this berserk brute as it barreled about.
"Roar—"
Xu Xiaoyou turned around, holding her forehead and shaking her head, the girl's delighted laughter echoing from behind.
After entering the Oasis, this young master had fully unleashed her nature, appearing to relish in the thrill of living on the edge of life and death. She often intentionally placed herself in danger during battles, despite the death penalty of being forcibly expelled from Oasis along with a level drop.
They were currently in the Eternal Tower, a permanent challenge map in each season of Oasis, colloquially known as tower climbing. Like many routine tower climbs in games, there are three challenge attempts daily, with rewards given for reaching a certain number of floors, including honor points, season points, artifacts, and currency from different regions.
The tower's monsters are endless, each floor unique, and it is said that almost every existence recorded in human information archives has been recreated one-to-one within this tower, from rabbits, foxes, pigmen, to world-class and even world-ending level terrifying tales, and it even delves into the distant and "mysterious" realms.
The Eternal Tower is located at the center of the entire Oasis Continent, supposedly modeled after the Order Association's headquarters, the Light Chasing Tower. Looking up from below, the tower body rushes into the clouds, with its top invisible to the eye.
In fact, this tower truly has no top.
At least, to date, no player has ever climbed to the top of the Eternal Tower. The highest record ever set by the 'Queen's Armament' was 3604 floors, and it's said the monster they faced was unsolvably strong, so much so that the 'Queen's Armament' never attempted to reach higher floors of the Eternal Tower again.
This season, the guild with the highest number of floors reached is the 'Silent Sequence', having advanced to the 1150th floor, ultimately stopped dead at the "Crying Star Singer". It is said that with just one face-off, all members of the 'Silent Sequence' raiding team were crushed into a bloody paste by an irresistible heavy pressure.
"You..."
A faint voice came floating in the wind, Xu Xiaoyou turned her head in puzzlement, her mouth twitching slightly upon witnessing the scene.
Chichu Chun, at some unknown moment, had been cleaved into the wall, with a massive axe still embedded in her waist and abdomen, her health nearly depleted.
"Haha... it hurts so much..."
"Seems like I messed up..."
Xu Xiaoyou sighed, "I told you, be careful not to mess up."
Using the Silent Hand, she emptied the Executioner's health bar, with the final clearance record stopping at the 113th floor.
Leaving the Eternal Tower, she teleported back to Oasis City, where magnificent buildings rose up gloriously around her.
"That hurt like hell," Chichu Chun winced, clutching his backside, recalling the near-death experience with lingering fear.
"Luckily, the challenge reset the player's status after completion, or else I'd be forcibly logged out of the game," Chichu Chun thought to himself.
A prompt popped up in front of her, notifying Xu Xiaoyou of the large amount of seasonal points and Federation Shield she gained; the currency of one of the major forces in the Oasis game background, the New Federation.
But these were minor details. More importantly, her personal honor had reached level five, finally allowing her to go to the guild hall and create a guild!
With the normal pace of earning honor points, creating a guild before the league starts seemed nearly impossible, all thanks to Anya.
This matter began when she learned from high-intensity self-searching on the world forum—continuously killing other players in Oasis would earn you the favor of the 'Sinful Jury,' allowing you to steal other people's honor points...
As long as you kill other players in the wild, constantly turning yourself into a 'wanted' status, commonly known as red-named, you could loot artifacts and honor points from the defeated; honor points would be shared with the whole team.
Therefore, she used 'again' to describe Angelina entering the red-named status.
The location of red-named players would be made public on the map, and until the status is lifted, they are prohibited from teleporting, returning to the main city, and are regarded as hostile by all friendly NPCs; those who kill them can gain the Order Court's bounty and honor points.
She didn't think anyone on a First Tier map had the ability to kill Angelina.
Three days ago, she endured the most torturous night of her life, as the crazy woman from Gloomy Blue Tide wandered around Asgard for nearly the entire night. Fortunately, she won the gamble; the other side did not suspect Dawn Society's involvement and chose to leave.
At the same time, Gloomy Blue Tide changed her perception of the Light Prism Tier Cleaner, making her reconsider the phrase—'possessing the ability to single-handedly destroy Nest City.'
That was the Fenrir Titan, Cosmic Heavy Industries' prideful war machine, equipped with cannonry of the same specifications as spaceship close-in defense guns.
Even the frontal firepower of any Fenrir Titan from Northern Territory Bank could turn Fourth Tier and below Cleaners into mince.
Even with Divine Gift activated, the storm of steel from the twin rotating machine guns could easily tear them apart. With electromagnetic acceleration reaching speeds of 3000m/s, a fist-thick tungsten armor-piercing round wouldn't reason with carbon-based beings.
Yet Gloomy Blue Tide managed not only to obliterate all the security forces of Northern Territory Bank head-on but also led Asgard's defense system to mistakenly believe the city was under a saturation ballistic missile attack, issuing evacuation alerts to all citizens.
Overnight, events turned into world-shaking news, causing untold adverse economic impacts on Northern Territory Heavy Industry and Cosmos, not to mention.
Yet, she found fortune amidst the misfortune, thinking of this, Xu Xiaoyou couldn't help but smile.
She managed to earn Anya's goodwill from this ordeal, remembering Anya's unwilling but begrudgingly compromising frown when she woke up clearly to this day.
In the end, Anya agreed to join her for this season's league, taking on the role of an attacker in the team.
Angelina remained severely injured, with her real-world body unable to heal yet, confining her activities to the Oasis.
Unfortunately, she still had some reservations about Xu Xiaoyou, preferring to go solo as a Lone Wolf.
Inside, Xu Xiaoyou was almost bursting with laughter.
Anya was still too naive.
She merely mentioned, seemingly offhand, "You mustn't kill other players, you know, it'd hurt my reputation."
After hearing this, Angelina went on a rampage, bloodwashing Taohua Village of the 12th line completely, sparing none but the NPCs, causing quite a stir on the forums. The arrival of the Abyssal White Flower in Oasis became well-known, earning her the nickname 'Pale Withered.'"
Without Anya carrying the heavy load, dealing with the honor level issue would've been a significant headache, wouldn't it?
Stopping her train of thought, Xu Xiaoyou looked up; the guild building of Oasis City stood right before her.
Without further thought, she stepped inside.
