Chapter 19 - Surging Dark Tides (Part 1)

I wonder if my brothers have played "King of Glory".

The eldest brother, a formidable player both in real life and in the game, commands respect and should not be underestimated.

The second brother, a wealthy son, plays the game purely for enjoyment. He immediately purchases any equipment that catches his eye. One can only imagine how powerful a player with a full set of top-tier equipment can be.

The fourth brother is relatively quiet and not very combative, but possesses a calm mind. He commands guild battles and ensures that no mistakes are made.

Older brother Chen Feng, the fifth, is impatient and somewhat careless, but his luck and opportunities in the game are extraordinary. He often encounters good fortune, making his abilities no less inferior to others and causing us great envy.

Together with my four brothers and myself, as formidable players in previous games, we were able to confront the San Ye Alliance.

But now, I am alone and have no chance to fight alongside my brothers in the game as we did in the past. This brings me great sadness.

As I was looking at the top three rankings in "King of Glory", all players in the game went crazy for the leaderboard, causing a commotion.

Player 1: The first place is so strong! He has only just started playing the game, yet he is so much better than other players. I admire him greatly, my idol.

Player A: Isn't it strange that the first place in the high score list is so much better than other players? Could there be a bug?

Player B: Come on, are you silly? "King of Glory" is controlled by the "FeiTian" mainframe system, which has no bugs. Even if there were, the system would automatically correct it. Don't assume that someone is having issues just because they are better than you.

Player A: The first place on the leaderboard is really strong. But don't worry, it won't be long before I surpass him.

Player B: What level are you?

Player A: Level 2.

Player B: ...

Player 2: Who knows the first place player? Introduce me to him, I want to be his underling.

Player C: Damn, why is he hiding his name even though he's in first place? He must be impotent. If I were in first place, I would... Player C began to daydream.

Passerby A: A female player has entered the top ten high score list, which is not easy. I wonder if she is a beauty or a dinosaur.

Passerby B: Good, Qiang Wei - Zi Hong, you are mine. Wait for me, I'll join the list and fly with you, forever in "King of Glory".

Sister 1: Sister Qiang Wei - Zi Hong is really amazing. She is the idol of all female players. Go, Purple Rainbow, I support you...

As the players continued to make noise, the top ten players calmly examined the various rankings, comparing their own situation.

The second-ranked player on the top ten masters leaderboard, Li Huo, watched in silence as the first-ranked player was displayed on the leaderboard.

Li Huo, the second player in "King of Glory" to slay a boss and to change professions, always lagged behind the first-ranked player by a step, and this result was unacceptable to him.

He couldn't believe that there was indeed a player better than him, who had changed professions before him. And now he was stuck as the second-ranked player.

Li Huo couldn't help but tighten the spear in his hand, hoping to get a good look at the first-ranked player.

He would soon surpass the knight in first place, as no one could surpass him, even though a higher level didn't necessarily mean greater strength. Li Huo was confident that he could now take the top spot with ease.

Nevertheless, having a challenging goal was good for life, but he hoped that the first-ranked player wouldn't let him down easily, as that would be boring.

The third-ranked player on the top ten masters leaderboard, Tian Huo Leng Hun, watched in silence as the first-ranked player was displayed on the leaderboard.

"Hehe, Leng Hun, your performance this time is impressive. Your ranking is even higher than that of the FengYun and SanYe families. I bet the FengYun family is feeling frustrated now," said Tian Huo Diao Yin with a smile.

"Big brother, we owe this to the Blackstone Wand. Without it, our Tian Huo family would not have made it to the top ten masters leaderboard. You need to work harder and catch up quickly, as I can't hold on for long," said Tian Huo Leng Hun.

Tian Huo Leng Hun pulled himself back to reality and shook the Blackstone Wand, a golden piece of equipment that could be used by mages above level 5. It could increase attack power by 80, spell speed by 1, and had additional effects of Meditation 10, Constitution 10, and frozen attacks that could slow down monster movements.

Speaking of the Blackstone Wand, Tian Huo Leng Hun couldn't help but think of the knight, Stone City, who had helped him slay the demonized Hedgehog King. Looking back now, he owed a lot to Stone City.

Tian Huo Leng Hun carefully scanned the leaderboard but didn't see the name of Stone City.

The strength of Knight Stone City is definitely not as simple as it seems. When faced with the boss, the enchanted Hedgehog King, it was effortless. Moreover, Knight Stone City is not interested in golden equipment. You should know that his older brother, Tian Huo Dao Yin, is a very powerful knight, but Tian Huo Leng Hun feels that Knight Stone City is much stronger than his older brother.

The first place happens to be a knight. Could it be him, Knight Stone City? Tian Huo Leng Hun guessed.

"Leng Hun, what are you thinking? Come, let's go level up. You have to lead me now. We can't let people from Feng Yun and San Ye look down on our Tian Huo," Tian Huo Dao Yin pulled Tian Huo Leng Hun and walked out.

"Hehe, nothing. Let's go level up."

After all, it's just a guess that Knight Stone City is the first on the Top Ten Masters list. It cannot be confirmed, and if Knight Stone City is really the first, there must be a reason why he is hiding his name. Thus, Tian Huo Leng Hun won't mention it to others.

Feng Yun Jin Long, the fourth-ranked master on the Top Ten Masters list, looked at the three people above him with a very unpleasant expression on his face.

"Damn it! Three people are better than me, and I'm only fourth. Is this a joke?" Feng Yun Jin Long couldn't help but curse out loud.

In addition to that guy, Tian Huo, there was also an unnamed Li Huo and a knight who didn't dare to reveal his name.

He, Feng Yun Jin Long, had never experienced being inferior to anyone else. Every time he played a game, he was the boss, and every time he played a game, he was first. Moreover, their Tian Huo clan was the overlord of the game.

"Boss, this time, there is only one server for 'King of Glory,' and all the players in the country are playing together. It's different from before. In addition to the Tian Huo clan, the San Ye clan has also come. If Katelong and Jin Bao Dian Qi support large gangs with money, the competition will be even more intense. Moreover, that Hao Tian and Gei Ni Yi Dao who made it onto the Fortune Help list also seem not to be simple. Players who can make it onto the Fortune Help list are not simple," Feng Yun Mo Long calmly analyzed for Feng Yun Jin Long. "No matter what happens, money is the most important thing. Without money, nothing can be accomplished. Therefore, the person who is first on the Fortune Help list, Money Rules the World, cannot be ignored."

Feng Yun Mo Long was the steward of the Feng Yun gang, and had always been responsible for the financial affairs of the gang. He naturally knew the power of money, but he didn't care about an individual's strength. No matter how powerful a player was, he could not take on a large group of players alone. Therefore, he didn't care about the Top Ten Masters list. He only cared about the future Top Ten Gangs list.

The first place on the Top Ten Gangs list was his pursuit, and he was confident that he had the ability to achieve it.

"Mo Long, what about Lao Hu and the others? Why haven't they changed jobs yet? They're really dragging their feet. Hurry up and buy some medicine. I'm going to level up."

Damn! Let you revel in your triumph for a moment, for I shall soon catch up to you. I vow to make it known to all players in the game of "King of Glory" that I, the mighty "Feng Yun Jin Long," reign supreme as the strongest player.
