Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 410: Chapter 0410: Approaching (Request for Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month)

As a designer of the ‘Lord God Game’, the young man had a lot of power.

For instance… he could monitor every player in the game, surveilling vast areas of reality, wielding almost god-like authority.

But everything changed after the appearance of the Crystal Core Refining Skill.

A multitude of players chose to ‘retrain’, thereby ruining most of the backdoor through their profession introduction, severely limiting his monitoring abilities.

Of course, he still had one last option — ‘Title Blocking’ which would kick specific players out of the game.

However, the players were actually working for him, and kicking them out was a losing situation.

Especially those who mastered the Crystal Core Refining Skill, even after being kicked out, before their magic completely dispersed, they were still ‘Transcendent’!

This intrinsically fifth-level nature was impossible to secretly retrieve.

“If it can’t be taken back in secret, I’ll just have to reclaim it overtly.”

The young man hardened his expression, “Kick him out of the game, even if the Destruction Dragon comes, it can’t reach the Material Realm… I will kill that player in the Material Realm, gain his fifth-order nature, promote to the fifth level, and completely control this Divine Artifact.”

“System, pop this player out!”

Through the Divine Artifact’s connection with the players, the young man rapidly found Luo Fei and ejected him from the game.

…

“What happened?”

In the Outer World, Luo Fei woke up, “I didn’t log out.”

“The puppet master has made his move on you, be careful, he’s likely to murder you in reality!”

The Shadow Clone reminded, “For that puppet master, blocking your ‘account’ is straightforward…”

Inside the Shadow Clone’s mind, there was a sense of hidden joy; ‘Finally, he made a move. I’m not afraid of anything, except if you continued hiding.’

Once the puppet master personally stepped in, he would lose a lot of his protections and cover, entering the risk of exposure at any time.

Now, confronting Luo Fei, he had three choices.

First was his ‘game account’, which was just a fragment of his consciousness, basically useless.

Second was the Mental Secret Realm located in the main city, with the Shadow Clone lurking there, it was a trap!

As it turned out, the ‘Lord God’ was either intimidated or worried about the Destruction Dragon; he chose not to take action in the Inner World, but in the Outer World!

A clever move indeed!

Since, after all, the Outer World was dominated by science, even the ‘Transcendent’ had to contend with the horrifying effect of magical dissipation.

And regarding the accumulation of Crystal Cores, the Lord God, even in his poorest state, was still stronger than the players. Not to mention, he could block some ‘high-level players’, keeping them from returning to the game to ‘replenish their magic’. This would gradually turn them into ordinary people in the real world.

“It’s true… I can’t log into the game anymore, what do I do? What do I do?”

Luo Fei was frantic.

“What are you panicking for?” Su Lu roared, “You’re already at the fifth level! Previously, in the Dragon Tomb, you received a substantial replenishment… This energy is enough to sustain you for three days of activities, or about an hour even in intense battle.”

“You must find the puppet master in the remaining time, or you’re as good as dead.”

“Three days?” Despair coursed through Luo Fei’s features, “That’s impossible? Even all the powers combined can’t trace the existence of the Lord God…”

“That was before. Now, the Lord God wants to personally hunt you down.” Su Lu analyzed calmly, “You can’t count on luck anymore, your only choice, perhaps, is to collaborate with the influential forces.”

“Collaborate? You’re right, they should be quite interested in the Lord God too…” Luo Fei managed a strained smile.

“If it really comes to it, then summon me… Remember, my energy is only enough for one use, and the summoning requires a ritual… When summoning, you need to use a specific title. My title is — The powerful existence from beyond the Spirit World! The world traveler who commands the mysterious cards!”

“Beyond the Spirit World, World Traveler?”

Luo Fei rubbed his head, “I got it, please don’t worry grandpa, I will definitely win!”

He took a deep breath and exited the sewer.

Seeing the sun again, he squinted against its brightness.

Luo Fei knew that the Federation’s surveillance satellites would spot him in a matter of minutes once he emerged from underground.

A few minutes later, he looked at the black-clad men closing in, a trace of a smile flickering on his face.

…

“What? The Pioneer was arrested?”

Feng Yaoqi, browsing the forum, saw a blurry photo and the headline, his eyes widening in disbelief, “What a pity… But still, we have to thank you for your contributions to the players.”

Due to the emergence of a lot of transcendent players, instability started appearing in different areas worldwide.

Yet, he felt no compassion, as his interest was solely in the game!

Feng Yaoqi lazed on his bed, preparing to log into the Lord God Game.

A moment later, his pupils contracted, “Can’t log in? What happened?”

Situations like his were happening all over the world.

He hurriedly jumped up and started browsing the forum. Soon, stacks of complaint posts appeared, “Is the Lord God Game shut down?”

“Is it undergoing an update?”

“No! Did you guys notice… all the players above the professional level have been blocked, but we’re fine?”

“Is he planning to… starve us to death? Help! My magic is dissipating, I need to replenish it, it’s very urgent!”

…

“All high-ranked players have been blocked? Has Lord God gone crazy?”

Feng Yaoqi’s pupils contracted, “What’s going…? What’s happening?”

He felt helpless.

In the face of the entity controlling the Lord God Game, all players were mere ants!

…

“All of you in command of the Crystal Core Refining skill, all high-ranked players capable of using transcendent abilities in the real world, are destabilizing factors. You will all be quiet.”

The Lord God looked at the screen before him and a smile played on his lips.

“Just give it a few days, and your magic will completely dissipate, turning you into ordinary people.”

“And I, I shall be the only occupant at the fourth-order peak in the real world! Luo Fei… you just wait!”

…

Of course, such an approach came with considerable consequences.

The players truly capable of shaking things up also contributed the most.

With most of them blocked, the income of the Lord God system dwindled considerably, with expenditures exceeding revenues each day, eating into the previous savings.

But the Lord God paid it no mind.

Once he promoted to the fifth level and fully controlled the Divine Artifact, he would naturally choose to reopen the game.

“By then, I might have to issue global quests… personally organizing players and to flatten out the Destruction Dragon… I always find its existence odd, it doesn’t seem like a manifestation of the world’s darkness, but more like an alien!”

So muttered the Lord God.

Despite this world’s advanced technology, its transcendent power was not to be underestimated.

Not to mention, he was no ordinary fourth-order entity, but instead had switched on ‘Unlimited Energy’, his strength rivaling the fourth-order peak.

Additionally, he had ‘combat skills’, ‘spells’ and so forth that countless players had unearthed.

In other words, he had faith in rooting out Luo Fei, no matter where he hid, and eliminating him once and for all!
