Chapter 316: The Game Begins
"It's you."
Flameng's shoulders trembled violently. Although the image was far from the gentle and powerful handsome figure she remembered, she still recognized the figure she had been longing for day and night from the way he exerted his strength, his sword-wielding habits, and his starting stance.
I thought I would never see you again.
Tears blurred her vision, and with a halting, uncontrollable tremor in her voice, the elven girl covered her face, but tears slipped through her fingers like broken beads, wetting her robes.
The skeleton warrior opened his arms, wanting to embrace his lover, but upon seeing that his hands were bare white bones, he awkwardly raised his holy sword, leaving a trail of sharp sword energy in the air: "I really didn't want you to see me like this."
Don't be a third wheel at this time.
Chen Feng tactfully pulled his apprentice away, asking, "Were you crying?"
Sika wiped her eyes and choked out, "Master, can you ask Uncle-Master to revive Mr. Lant?"
Technically speaking, once your senior apprentice reaches Mr. Lant's level, there should be a chance.
The problem is that if even mages below level 100 can travel to the goddess of magic's kingdom, then this legendary hero who saved the world must be in high demand by all the gods.
So his soul must be in God's kingdom. If you resurrect him, aren't you taking someone away from God?
Chen Feng opened the Skill Personification System and checked the activity records of Skeleton Resurrection:
My master and best friend are in danger, and I can't dig up the ancestral grave of the true vampire progenitor. This is just too much!
[Super Skeleton Resurrected found the Legendary Graveyard and told the story-loving Skeleton Warrior that Flameng was in danger and about to be killed.]
The heroic spirit Lant has descended from the realm of the gods.
[The Level 1 Skeleton Warrior who loves listening to stories has advanced to Level ??? Skeleton Warrior Lant]
Chen Feng understood: "I knew that the skeleton that Super Skeleton Su/Resurrected should only have the skills and attributes it had in life, and not any blessings or divinity. It turns out that it was a divine possession just now."
The savior concluded, "Elven Granny, even if your hero turned into a skeleton, he still came to save you."
Chen Feng turned his head: "Although there's nothing wrong with the logic of that statement, isn't calling her an 'old lady' a bit too hurtful?"
As the two chatted, the divine light emanating from Skeleton Lant grew weaker and weaker.
"Oh, right, I have a gift for you."
He treads through the long wind and sweeps away the dust of the wilderness, his body moving like lightning, leaving no trace.
Sensing that time was running out, the legendary hero flashed, leaving an afterimage in his original position. Before the afterimage disappeared, he returned to his original position and left behind an exquisite box made of dragon scales.
Goodbye, Flameng, you're still so beautiful.
After leaving these words in the air with sword energy, the two blazing red soul flames in the skull's eye sockets turned into a cold and terrifying green.
The hero Lant has returned to the divine realm.
[Level ? ? ? ? Skeleton Warrior Lant → Level 1 Skeleton Warrior Who Loves to Listen to Stories]
Chen Feng reminded him, "Don't forget to take your holy sword."
But the savior waved his hand and said, "It's been touched by someone else, so there's likely a problem. It can't be used anymore."
It used to be difficult for the sea.
Ever since it was used by the legendary hero, the Holy Sword Plus One no longer tolerated the savior: "Use it or not, I've already proven that I am the Holy Sword, now it's your turn to prove that you are the savior."
The savior shrugged: "Whatever, I already have my best friend Skeleton Resurrected anyway."
This is the first time I've ever seen someone curse at their own weapon.
Chen Feng looked at the elf girl who was sobbing on the spot and couldn't come to her senses for a long time, and pointed to the box on the ground, asking, "Aren't you going to open it and take a look?"
But as soon as he said it, Chen Feng regretted it.
[Ding! Your relationship with Robert Astraea has deteriorated from friends to strangers.]
The savior looked at Chen Feng: "Do you know where you went wrong?"
Chen Feng said helplessly, "To open something left by a stranger without first checking for security is really too careless."
"I need box verification, poison identification, counterfeit identification, insight, true vision, enhanced knowledge, true eye, enhanced sixth sense, aura observation, deception detection, golden eyes, information extraction..."
After a large-scale inspection that involved announcing the names of dishes.
The savior said, "The box is fine; you can throw it away."
Why would you throw it away even if there's nothing wrong with it?
Chen Feng opened the box and said to Flameng, "Inside are your favorite magic book and bedtime stories."
Flamen sniffed: "Idiot, I've heard all sorts of stories, but I can only fall asleep peacefully when I hear your voice."
"While you have indeed lived for many years, don't be so sure of yourself." Chen Feng looked at the play "The King in Yellow" in his hands and fell into deep thought. "You've actually collected storybooks from various worlds? That's really thoughtful of you."
As for the spellbook, it clearly doesn't belong to this universe.
Chen Feng pulled out a book titled "Technological Cultivation of Demons: Thermodynamics and Ice Magic" and began to read: "According to the law of conservation of energy, when you use ice magic, you are drawing heat away from the air. Therefore, ice magic is fire magic, and the god of fire is the god of ice."
Cold and hot seem like they are incompatible, but it turns out they are from the same source.
Sika was stunned: "I didn't know that words could be arranged like this."
Chen Feng asked the daily intelligence system, "Sister, is what's written here true?"
[Daily Intelligence: Instead of worrying about this, you should be concerned about the third wave of retaliation]
What?
Is there going to be retaliation?
When Chen Feng looked up, he found a blood-red rune above his and the Savior's heads.
It was a ring-shaped border formed by three intertwined venomous snakes, with one of its vertical pupils bleeding inside. It gave off an ominous feeling and was clearly not a good thing.
Flameng said nervously, "This is the mark of vengeance! Anyone targeted by this mark will be hunted down by the followers of the goddess of vengeance until the markr dies."
The savior examined it and asked, "What does the 'ten' before the vengeance symbol mean?"
Flameng explained, "That's the strength of the followers that Nemesis sends out. The lowest is one and the highest is ten. This means that the followers who are hunting you down are Nemesis's chosen ones."
Holy crap? God's chosen one?
Chen Feng shuddered.
The flexibility of the chosen ones is too great. Chen Feng has seen the flesh and blood Ten Attendants, the flesh and blood Cao Cao, who were all mediocre, as well as the flesh and blood universe overlord, the core chosen ones who obtained divinity, such as the flesh and blood India, Dr. Jack, and Tzeentch Chief who scared the sorcerers to death.
Chen Feng shuddered: "Could this chosen one be the chief?"
"It's possible. The level 10 vengeance mark is chosen from among the core chosen ones to hunt down, which includes the chief and the second-in-command," Flameng explained. "That arrow just now was a level 10,000 attack, and the core chosen ones are at least level 10,000."
So, a guy who can casually pull out a level 10,000 attack is coming to take us down?
They're really not giving us any way out.
Chen Feng asked, "Is there a way to solve this?"
Flameng said with difficulty, "If you are a follower of an evil god, you can seek refuge in the capital of the eldest son of the Sun King, but the goddess of vengeance is a neutral god worshipped by assassins, and no one wants to provoke her."
So you can only rely on yourself?
Chen Feng suddenly remembered an old man: "There might be someone who knows the solution."
Cologne Village.
It was still a long time of wandering around the trap, still a long time of knocking without getting an answer, and still no one I recognized.
"Stop calling me 'uncle' and 'aunt'!" Grandpa Sika raised his cane, ready to hit someone. "You pervert! Who told you to date a minor!"
Chen Feng pointed at the elven girl and quickly explained, "As soon as I came in, I noticed three problems. First, I'm not your grandson, Sika is. Second, we're not a couple. Third, don't be fooled by her young appearance; you're actually older than her, believe it or not."
Snapped!
Grandpa Sika used his cane to push the elven girl away and said to Chen Feng, "That's exactly what I wanted to say, grandson. Be careful and don't date an old elven woman."
Sika, unable to bear it any longer, exclaimed, "Grandpa! I'm the grandson!"
Flameng burst into tears: "Someone called me an old woman three times already, waaaaaah!"
Oh no, this is going to be interesting.
Chen Feng pulled the unscrupulous businessman Patch's hand out of his pocket: "Why haven't you left yet?"
Patch smiled ingratiatingly and said, "It's not safe to leave now. Let's wait until the vampire leaves. By the way, could we not tell Mr. Sasaki about this?"
Chen Feng said, "Why don't you look behind you?"
Sasaki drew his sword: "Theft is a crime deserving of punishment!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh."
After all the commotion, everyone finally quieted down.
Chen Feng then realized that the savior was gone.
A plume of black smoke descended, and the skeleton resurrected, explaining that its combat power had been greatly reduced due to the loss of the Holy Sword, so the savior had asked it to transform into a skeleton to gain double the attributes.
To increase combat effectiveness, he would even kill himself?
"I've thought about that too, but this guy is really ruthless to himself," Chen Feng continued. "Even if he becomes a skeleton, he won't be too ashamed to show his face in public, right?"
The Skeleton Resurrected said that once you become a skeleton, you will be controlled by it.
Chen Feng questioned, "But you shouldn't be able to control him, right?"
"Yes, he awakened a blessing that even skeleton soldiers cannot control."
Does this kind of blessing exist in this world? Is it personalized?
"But I forgot to tell him that unclaimed skeletons could be summoned by necromancers."
"Don't explain this to me. I've read a lot of anime and novels about reincarnating as a skeleton and being summoned by beautiful women." Chen Feng only didn't understand one thing: "Logically speaking, as long as he awakens a blessing that can't be summoned, he can come back, right?"
"He said that to attack the Undead King, an army would be needed, but that would cause deaths, and the skeletons of the underworld have no sense of pain and can die easily."
"Aren't skeletons also formed from humans?"
"Dead people are not considered people."
"Isn't this guy's morality a bit too low when it comes to people other than the living?"
Chen Feng had originally planned to level up by using the Savior's monster-slaying tower, but now that the Savior had run away, he had to rely on himself.
Grandpa Sika, who remembered nothing, did remember how to deal with the Mark of Revenge: "In the borderlands of fire, there is a Sage's Tower, which contains all the books and knowledge in the world, including the method to remove the Mark of Revenge."
But the question is, where is the Tower of Sages?
While crying, Flameng took a map out of her suitcase: "I recently bought a map of the Fire Continent."
That's great.
Chen Feng opened the map and was dumbfounded: "When did you buy this map? It's all worn smooth. And why is the Sun King on this map?"
Flameng spoke as if she had bought it three hours ago, and said with righteous indignation, "Of course the Sun King was still alive three thousand years ago."
Do you call a map from 3,000 years ago a recently purchased one?
Chen Feng now understood why Flame's favorability was so hard to raise: "By the way, there's no Sage's Tower up here either?"
Grandpa Sika suddenly spoke up: "The Tower of Sages was built five hundred years ago."
Damn it! What's the point of me even looking for that?
Just when Chen Feng was at a loss.
A ding sound.
Chen Feng glanced at the system and was immediately overjoyed: "Ah, my proficiency has returned."
[The expert grabbed the equipment enhancement tool from the scalp: "While I was away, I heard there was a wild dog that was acting pretty arrogantly."]
[The equipment enhancement instantly terrified her, and she cried out, "Big brother, let me explain!"]
[Proficiency: "What I hate most is apologizing afterward."]
Ah! Ah! Ah!
At the same time, the sounds of whipping and screams rang out.
A series of "ding" sounds suddenly flashed through Chen Feng's mind.
[Ding! The YX-02-QDMJ startup cheat system has been installed. You can now use points to activate the cheat.]
[Ding! The YX-02-WZSC King's Shop System has been installed. The Eternal Sword, Shark's Fang, and Mantis Swift Sword can now be transported to the Western Fantasy Universe.]
[Ding! The YX-03-HKS Hextech system has been repaired. You will now receive one Hextech selection opportunity for each completed Hero Quest.]
[Ding! The YX-03-MWHH Demon King Escort System has been installed. You can now hire characters from other games. Characters from the Western Fantasy World are heading to the Fire Universe.]
[Ding! The YX-03-JD identification system has been installed. Now, when you identify someone else, you can obtain their background story.]

Temporary points: 9
"Ever since I discovered this universe had been gamified, I've been tweaking the game system, and I've finally caught up," said the expert.
Indeed, Hextech was quite lucky; it actually found a technological world that combined Western fantasy elements, gaming technology, and even vending machines.
Brother!
As Chen Feng shouted, he consumed some temporary points: "Activate the cheat code, reveal the entire map!"
Black Sheep Wall!
I see dead people!
In an instant! The entire Fire Continent was illuminated and displayed in 3D before Chen Feng.
"Isn't this a bit too big?"
Unlike most worlds, the Fire Universe is a two-dimensional world, consisting of three regions: the sky, the surface, and the underground cities, each of which is infinite.
The evidence is that Chen Feng zoomed in on the entire map, yet he couldn't see the end at all.
The map is fully revealed in just one minute.
First, find the Sage's Tower!
Chen Feng quickly located the Sage's Tower, which was situated in a desert. At the same time, he also spotted a familiar face.
"The Sage of Regression, is he also nearby?"
"It really is only Level 1. It's strange that its strength is so low, even though it can travel back to the multiverse."
Chen Feng felt he could hitch a ride back in time, because near the Tower of Sages, he spotted a red-named monster with four question marks.
As for that undead king.
Just you wait.
Chen Feng took out the Eternal Sword, which was inlaid with the law of cause and effect of death, and pointed it at the location of the Great Tomb, saying, "The game begins."
