Chapter 124 Training Camp: Blessing from the Tide

Chapter 124 Training Camp: Blessing from the Tide
snow valley.

As night falls, everything becomes silent.

The players of the Hardworking Group finished their evening training and were on their way back to their rooms.

The valley in my eyes shows a tranquility and grandeur that transcends the world in the embrace of the night. The silver moonlight falls, covering the endless snow-capped peaks with a soft veil. On the top of the mountain, the white snow is shining with a faint blue light under the moonlight.

In the valley, the cold wind whispers, passing through the sparse woods, carrying the coolness of ice crystals, interweaving with the night to form a distant and cold melody.

Looking up at the sky, an incomparable visual feast is being staged in the sky. The aurora is dancing in the night sky, and the misty green aurora belt is swaying gently, sometimes gathering into a gorgeous curtain, and sometimes dispersing into tiny streams of light, wandering in the air, changing unpredictably, decorating the night sky like a dream.

Looking through the forum placed in the upper left corner of the line of sight, the players of the liver emperor group are chatting about the weapon props function updated these days:

Li Zheng: I have already decided. When I return to Teizuka Village, I will go to the armed vehicle factory to build a flying sword, and then I will fly on the sword when I travel.

Poor enough to eat dirt: Flying a sword is not practical at all except for being cool. My suggestion is power shoes. There are ready-made templates on the forum that you can use. Catapult start can also be used in actual combat, which is much better than gimmicky products with low endurance like flying a sword.

Family Sharing Godfather: Hey brothers, do you have any idea to raise funds to build a multi-person vehicle for us to use together?
The killing intention was aroused: the purpose of coming to the training camp to live a hard life is to become a superior person. After enduring for so long, of course everyone will have their own set of armed vehicles after returning home in glory. It sounds troublesome to want a multi-person vehicle.

Leopard Head Zero Charge: Forget about the vehicle. We don't know when we can graduate. This is only the first phase, and we still have four training camps to go through. But our lives are getting better and better. Recently, Mizutani has left the training camp, and Hitomi has behaved herself. We are finally living a good life. But we are about to graduate from the first training camp and go to the second phase. By then, I'm afraid new hard days will begin again. Thinking of this, I feel hungry again.

Fun without spending money: I'm hungry too, how about going back for a midnight snack? A lobster feast?

The Liver Emperor Group: Good (in unison).

……

After returning to the room for a passionate midnight snack, the players in the hardworking group went to bed early.

The next morning.

As the sound of drums echoed in the valley, the players of the Liver Emperor Group stood up decisively, left the room and ran towards the training ground.

Within half an hour, all the players in the Snow Valley Training Camp had gathered.

The figure of chief instructor Kuangsha arrived at this time.

But this time, Kuangsha did not announce any training programs. After scanning all the new students present, his eyes focused on the players in the Hardworking Group:
"I have good news to tell you today. I am very satisfied with your Wan Clan's performance in the training camp. I have reported it to Elder You. He replied that he will give your Wan Clan additional training camp qualifications in the near future. Elder You will arrange the specific time."

After hearing this, before Li Zheng and others could respond, the players in the live broadcast room cheered.

There are even players who spend money constantly giving rewards and flooding the screen with messages.

The performance of Li Zheng and others gave them the possibility to enter the training camp.

The live broadcasts these days have attracted a large number of players, and the performances of Li Zheng and others can be described as “tenacious”.

From being bullied and humiliated in the beginning, and being despised and rejected by various tribes, to rising up in resistance and launching the "starvation-enduring tactics", through tenacious willpower and hard work, he managed to defeat the Four-Eyed Tribe, which had overwhelming strength over him.

Later, as members of the Mizutani training camp arrived, they organized the freshmen from the Snow Valley, including the Four-Eyed Clan, and started a tactic of enduring hunger and fighting at night for several consecutive days, which broke the mentality of the freshmen from the two training camps.

During this process, the players in the hardcore group also suffered a lot.

But they managed to withstand the pressure and persevere.

The recognition in Kuangsha's eyes is exactly what the players in the Liver Emperor Group have earned through their own hard work.

Players in the live broadcast room believed that the Against the Tide Legion was willing to open up additional recruitment slots for new players to the player clan, and the contributions of the members of the Hardworking Legion were indispensable.

This is also one of the reasons why the live broadcast rooms of the members of the Liver Emperor Group are very harmonious.

If it is in the live broadcast room of other players, if good luck appears, what will generally be welcomed is scolding.

But the players in the hard-working group received generous profits, and the live broadcast room was filled with blessings and praises, believing that this was the reward they deserved.

Li Zheng and others were also stunned when they heard the news, and then smiles appeared on their faces.

As the first batch of players to enter the game when the server is launched, they know that the development of the player camp is a shared destiny, which is a good thing overall.

More importantly, the constant reminders of rewards in the live broadcast room are really pleasant to the ears, and you want to listen to them again and again.

At this moment, Kuangsha changed his tone:
"You have been in Snow Valley for 35 days. Today I have to tell you a piece of news. You will be promoted to the second training camp and leave here."

Li Zheng and the others had been prepared for this news and were not surprised. They listened to Kuangsha continue to narrate:

"But there will be no aircraft to pick you up at the second phase training camp. You will need to travel through mountains and rivers yourself. You will inevitably encounter many dangers along the way, which you will all need to cooperate to face and overcome."

"I will give you two days to rest and recuperate. On the morning of the third day, you all must get out of the Snow Valley Training Camp and head to the second phase training camp!"

Upon hearing the good news of the first graduation, the other students in the Snow Valley Training Camp cheered.

A smile also appeared on Kuangsha's face at this time:
"Disband, get out of here... By the way, the cafeteria's meal time has been extended to one hour these two days, so eat more. There will be times when you'll be hungry on the road. Also, you can come to me to get the equipment you brought with you when you arrived."

When the group dispersed, Li Zheng and the others felt a little sad.

After these days of training, they have developed feelings for the Snow Valley Training Camp and they are inevitably reluctant to leave when they suddenly learn that they have to.

But behind this reluctance, there is also anticipation for the second training camp.

It was breakfast time. Li Zheng and others were sitting in a corner of the cafeteria, eating heartily. At this time, Gui Tong brought his tribesmen to their table and sat down with them.

"Tongzi, what are you doing? Do you want to fight with us again before leaving?" Li Zheng said with a slightly alert look while gnawing on the monster's leg in his hand.

Hearing this, Guitong shook his hands repeatedly with an embarrassed expression.

They were deeply impressed by how resistant these beasts from the gaming clan were to hunger.

In the last two days before leaving, they finally had a chance to have a good rest, and they didn't want to leave with bruises and bruises and end up hungry.

Thinking of this, Gui Tong placed the plate in front of Li Zheng and said in a serious tone:
"It's like this. The journey to the second phase training camp will take about a month. This journey will cross several small areas, and we will inevitably be attacked by various monsters along the way. So I think we should put aside our grudges and work together to make this journey."

Hearing Gui Tong's words, Li Zheng seemed a little speechless:

"Although our relationship isn't great, we are all students from the same training camp. Of course, we should cooperate on this journey. Do you still want to fight with us on the way?"

"I feel relieved with your words. After entering the second training camp, I hope we can continue to cooperate and fight against the students from other training camps together."

As he spoke, Guitong stretched out his right hand.

Seeing this, Li Zheng grinned, and without wiping his hands, he directly held Gui Tong's hand with his greasy right hand:
"Tongzi, I can see that your attitude towards us has changed a lot."

Gui Tong pulled his hand back with a look of disdain, looked down at the oil stains on his hand, and said with an unhappy expression:
"I only chose to cooperate with you so that I could graduate smoothly. Don't take it for granted."

Li Zheng heard this and was about to refute, but his eyes were attracted by the purple necklace on Guitong's neck.

This purple necklace is wrapped around Guitong's neck, emitting a soft purple halo.

The chain is made of delicate purple rings, and the pendant is a thumb-sized amethyst with a deep and rich color. Over time, it changes from light purple to dark purple, and then gradually turns into light purple, just like the violet sky at dawn. A tiny white crystal is inlaid in the center, adding a bit of agility.

After the analysis function is turned on, detailed information comes to mind.

【Shadow Zirconium Moon】:
Equipment quality: 285
Equipment introduction: This special equipment is made of the precious spiritual ore "Shadow Stone" in the Shadow Vientiane area as the main material. It contains surging shadow power, which can provide the wearer with a continuous supply of mental power, and purify various negative mental states to ensure the wearer's mental health.

……

Li Zheng was stunned when he saw the equipment quality numbers.

In the setting of this game, equipment quality and soul level are similar settings.

For example, not long after the server was launched, Wosnidie came to him to buy sacrifice power. The item she bought for Tieye was the Moon-Shaking Axe, a weapon of quality 8, which was sold for 100 sacrifice power.

From this, we can infer how terrifyingly valuable the Shadow Zirconium Moon on Guitong’s neck is.

Li Zheng: (Analysis screenshot) Damn, what's the quality of the equipment? 285, what kind of god-like artifact is this! Poor to the point of eating dirt: I have a bold idea, why don't we rob him on the way to the second phase? 285 quality equipment, this value is probably several million sacrifices, or even more expensive, how can this guy be so rich!
The urge to kill was aroused: To be honest, the urge to kill was really aroused.

Family Shared Godfather: This is a magical outfit. It can continuously restore mental energy after wearing it. Godfathers, your children want it.

Fun without spending money: Oh my god, this kid came to the training camp with millions of dollars... It's a pity that he didn't wear it until today. If he had worn it a few days ago, I would have snatched it from him during the fight in the cafeteria.

Leopard Head Zero Charge: You guys are just good at talking, but if you really ask you to snatch it, you definitely won't be able to do it. After all, you have developed feelings for each other during the fight. When we were beating up Mizutani together some time ago, I saw you guys helping Hitomi to take several punches.

……

Noticing that the eyes of the Wan Family students were all focused on the necklace around his neck, Gui Tong's expression suddenly became alert:
"What are you doing?"

When asked, Chi Tu chuckled:
"Hitomi, your necklace looks nice."

"What does it have to do with you?" Guitong couldn't help but stare.

"As graduation approaches, I think we should always remember each other. This bond is worth keeping. Why don't you give us your necklace and we will give you a precious item as a souvenir."

Realizing that the Wan Clan had set their sights on the necklace on his neck, the veins on Gui Tong's forehead throbbed:

"Don't even think about it. I can't give you this thing anyway."

The tribesman sitting next to Gui Tong also spoke up at this time:
"This is the most precious treasure of our clan. Brother, you are the heir to the next Four-Eyed Clan Leader, so you are qualified to wear it. I advise you to give up this idea. This necklace will never be given to you."

Upon hearing that it was the clan leader's token, everyone in the Liver Emperor Group sighed in their hearts.

“After all, he is not the God of Wealth. I can’t trick him into giving me money through barter.” The family-sharing godfather sighed at this time.

After finishing breakfast, they followed Kuangsha's lead to the south of the training camp, a place they had never been to before.

Here, Li Zheng and others saw a statue with an extremely domineering shape.

The statue is dozens of feet tall and is carved from black obsidian. It is clad in heavy armor with intricate war totems carved on it. Looking through the gaps in the armor, one can vaguely see its muscular body. The statue as a whole exudes an unparalleled beauty of wildness and strength.

In terms of body structure, the statue has no head, and its right hand is tightly holding a huge battle axe. The axe blade is flashing red light, as if it can split all obstacles in the world by raising its hand. The axe handle is carved with a scarlet flame pattern, and the tip of the battle axe is embedded in the base under the feet, connecting to the earth.

The base of the statue is broad and heavy, surrounded by reliefs that vividly depict scenes of countless soldiers charging into battle and fighting bloody battles.

The small figures in the relief are lifelike, including brave and fearless warriors as well as the people weeping and praying in the back. There are also a large number of ancient inscriptions engraved on one corner of the base.

Although it had no head, Li Zheng and others still felt a strong murderous aura coming towards them the moment they saw the statue.

In an instant, it seemed as if I was on a battlefield, with thousands of troops sweeping towards me.

The players in the Hardcore Group all took a deep breath subconsciously to relieve the pressure brought by the statue.

"Before you leave the first training camp, you still have one thing to do, which is to accept the blessing of the God of Against the Tide and condense the imprint of rules in your body. From now on, this imprint of rules will help you grow quickly and become a powerful warrior of my Against the Tide Legion."

As he spoke, Kuangsha came and stood in front of the statue, respectfully clenched his right fist and placed it on the center of his chest, then bowed his head to the statue in salute.

Then Kuangsha turned and looked at them:

"You all come to the statue one by one, and I will assist you in receiving the blessing of the God of Countertide."

Realizing that new benefits were about to be delivered, Li Zheng and others seemed extremely excited.

The first one to accept the blessing of the counter-tide was Guitong from the Four-Eyed Clan. He stood in front of the statue, imitated Kuangsha's posture, and saluted respectfully, then looked up at Kuangsha.

At this time, Kuangsha came to the statue and put his hand on one of the reliefs on the statue.

Suddenly, the red light of the battle axe in the statue's hand started to spin rapidly, and a red light suddenly burst out and hit the ghost pupil. Suddenly, the ghost pupil's eyes became dull and became demented.

This process lasted for about 10 minutes. When Guitong's eyes gradually regained clarity, Kuangsha said in a deep voice:

"next."

Facing the ghost pupil who turned around and walked over, Chi Tu couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Tongzi, how does it feel to receive the blessing?"

"You'll know soon." Guitong didn't answer, but he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. It was obvious that he had gained a lot of benefits.

Then the freshmen of the Snow Valley Training Camp completed the blessing in front of the statue one after another.

Soon it was the Wan family's turn, and Li Zheng, as the team leader, was the first to step forward to receive the blessing.

He stood in front of the statue and saluted respectfully like the student in front of him. Then the battle axe on the statue burst into red light and suddenly shot towards him.

The moment Li Zheng's body was hit by the flowing light, a bright red rune mark outline quickly condensed and appeared in his body.

This immediately activated the "purification system" in the Challenger's system, which tried to erase the spiritual pattern tracks.

But Qi Sheng's power arrived at this time.

Faced with the special energy that wanted to change Li Zheng's body structure, he was curious and suppressed the operation of the purification system, allowing the energy spiritual patterns to freely shuttle and outline in Li Zheng's body.

During this process, it can be discovered that the spiritual pattern that outlines the brand is completely different from the trajectory of the painful brand that was condensed at that time.

Every stroke follows the trajectory of the monster world, and the process of sketching is extremely smooth and pleasing to the eye.

And this is a rule mark, which is far from comparable to the pain mark.

The guide floating beside Qi Sheng also looked solemn:
[Boss, I know who this God of Tide is? ]

"Who?"

[The guy who is known as the strongest among the Eight Extreme Gods, Soul Battle. 】

“Can you be won over?”

[Not sure. Before we know what Soul Battle is thinking now, it is not appropriate to contact him directly. After all, he is loyal to the former Emperor Omen, not you now. He may not choose to continue to be loyal to you who inherited the Emperor Omen's origin like the four of us.]

While chatting, a red rule imprint gradually solidified in Li Zheng's body.

"So, what are the effects of the rules and abilities mastered by soul battles?" Qi Sheng asked curiously while the outline was not yet completed.

[The power of war, all wars can provide him with strength, and warriors blessed with the mark of war can also enjoy the bonus of this rule characteristic. ]

[For example, if a player with the power of war rules goes to war with the Black Tide, all players will become stronger in the process. Even if they don't kill the Black Tide evil spirits, they can be strengthened through the power of the world rules just by participating in the war. If it is an epic super war, the strength of all soldiers will increase several times or even dozens of times by the end of a round of war.]

"Hiss, so powerful." Qi Sheng was also surprised by the effect of this power of rules.

[Of course, Soul Battle controls the rules of the Monster World, and one of the powerful Eight Extremes rules, which is far beyond the strength of the rules of other small worlds. The war mark he created is like the challenger system we created for players, implanted with his own rule power. Every warrior can have the blessing of the war system and have the potential to grow rapidly in the war.]

"Can this rule be effective in small-scale battles?" Qi Sheng continued to ask.

[Only war can enjoy the power of war mark blessing, small-scale battles obviously cannot, and the larger the scale of the war, the better the strengthening effect. ]

[In addition to the strength improvement brought by war, the rule of war power should also come with other additional war skills that increase combat performance. These guys are blessed.]

Hearing this, Qi Sheng asked the question he was most concerned about:
"Can this rule power be reproduced by consuming sacrificial power?"

[Yes, I have recorded the trajectory of weaving the rule imprint, but without the help of soul battle to promote the condensation of the rule power, it will take a huge amount of sacrifice power to replicate this rule imprint. The price of a single imprint is probably over 100 million sacrifice power.]

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."

As he spoke, Qi Sheng switched his gaze to Li Zheng's perspective.

At this time, the spiritual patterns of rules in Li Zheng's body were about to be completed and condensed into a divine seal of war.
