When Jack equipped the Rock Wall Armor, a sudden system chime rang in his ears -
"Ding! ~"
System prompt: Congratulations! Your strength meets the requirements and the Dark Camp Power Ranking List is unlocked!
The Dark Camp Power Ranking List?
Jack was slightly surprised. He opened the system panel and indeed saw the newly emerged ranking list option. Just a glance at the rankings made him understand immediately: "This should be the power ranking of the top ten demons of the Dark Camp, right?"
Space-Time Monster Beast · Porter
Disaster Star 61 Eric
Ocean Devourer · Barlow
Fallen Angel · Selah
Fire Dance Lotus · Nicole
War Beast 61 Harry
Obliteration Wind 61 Ralf
Soul Controller 61 Gal
Evil Dragon · Atikus
Evil Curse 61 Lore
...
It's not that the power ranking list only shows the top ten. It's just that there are exactly ten on one page, so their titles and names are the most prominent.
Jack also saw his own ranking with the friendly reminder of the system -
No. 99,999,955, Dark Controller · One River Cold Water!
So strong!
From this ranking list, Jack could tell that he was by no means a nobody. He was already a super powerful figure within a hundred million in the Dark Camp.
In other words, there were no more than a hundred million people in the Dark Camp who could defeat him!
"It seems you already know the names of the demons." Daniel heard Jack talk about the ranking list and understood in his heart, "Although the top ten demons are powerful and rarely have rivals in the Tianheng Continent, you must not belittle yourself. In the future, you might also have the chance to reach the top ten."
"Oh?"
Jack raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised: "Just because I'm a Dark Swordsman?"
"Yes." Daniel nodded and said solemnly, "The last Dark Swordsman was also one of the top ten demons who were all-powerful!"
"How did he die then?" Jack asked a rather spoilsport question.
In his opinion, since the current top ten rankings don't have that Dark Swordsman, then he's probably dead.
"This..."
Daniel hesitated for a moment, stammering, and said: "Anyway, don't worry about it now. You'll know later."
"..."
Jack was speechless.
It seemed that Daniel always didn't want him to come into contact with some key "game backgrounds".
"By the way, your method is indeed very effective." Daniel thought of something and said, "Currently, more than 200,000 adventurers have chosen to sign up in Kant and are willing to help us when the siege battle starts."
"Naturally." Jack wasn't surprised.
Players have always been doing their own thing and there is no such thing as a sense of justice.
Because they belong to the Light Camp and represent justice, so they would never help the Dark Camp. Such "moral principles" couldn't restrict them at all.
"Like this, perhaps as long as they don't show up, it's really possible to keep the Dark City." Daniel looked at his proud disciple with great satisfaction.
They?
Jack vaguely felt a bit bad: "Who do you mean by 'they'..."
"Actually, you understand." Daniel smiled, "Why pretend to be confused."
He had experienced the "intelligence" of this disciple before.
Would such a cautious boy simplify complex matters?
He didn't believe it.
"..."
Hearing this, Jack's heart sank.
It seemed that the most difficult thing was still the "plot kill"!
"Alright, you don't have to think too much. Right now, your strength is insufficient. The only thing is to become stronger." Daniel waved his hand and stopped chatting with Jack. Instead, he assigned the next task, "The main force defending the Dark City is still the skeleton soldiers. Your current strength is far beyond theirs. You should be able to teach them some enemy-fighting skills. Go."
"Ding! ~"
System prompt: Do you accept the task [Train the Skeleton Soldiers]?
"Yes!"
Jack chose to agree.
[Train the Skeleton Soldiers] (Difficulty: C)
Introduction: Skeleton soldiers have certain strength, but they are still weak when facing the elites of the Light Camp. Train them to make them stronger.
Task requirements: Through teaching, let the skeleton soldiers learn new skills.
Task quantity: 0/5000
...
After accepting the task, Jack logged off. He was just about to make some noodles to deal with his hunger, but he saw a message from Wang Kai: "Brother, let's have spicy hot pot!"
"Let's go. I'll treat. Let's drink the gutter oil!" How could Jack refuse? He replied immediately.
Because of Wang Kai's unintentional inspiration, he thought of suggesting that Daniel recruit adventurers. So he felt that he must reward his good brother.
Wang Kai: "..."
Gutter oil?
You said that and I don't dare to eat now.
"The old place?"
"Yeah!"
...
Put on casual clothes, use water as hair gel to tidy up his messy hair a little, Jack rushed out of the door. When he arrived at the previous barbecue shop, crossed the traffic light and walked a few steps, he reached the destination.
Entering the spicy hot pot shop, Jack immediately saw Wang Kai already ordering food. He immediately took a basket and went to choose.
"What happened this morning?" Wang Kai threw two pieces of instant noodles into the basket and asked with a smile, "I kiss your grandpa!"
Jack explained: "Mainly, I encountered a problem in the game. While talking to you, I suddenly thought of a solution."
"What problem? Let me hear it. I'm developing well in the game now. Maybe I can help."
"Don't worry. It's solved already."
"That's good. By the way, what level are you now?"
"Level twenty-something."
"Really? Aren't you one of the top few in the level ranking list?" Wang Kai was stunned.
He originally wanted to show off, but he didn't expect Jack's level to be higher than his.
Jack was a little curious: "What level are you?"
"Level nineteen. The one named King's Triumph at No. 39 in the ranking list is me." Wang Kai didn't hide it from Jack, "Can you tell me your game ID now?"
"This..."
Jack hesitated for a moment and said: "Brother, I tell you, don't spread it outside."
He had always trusted Wang Kai. But the value of his unique hidden profession was too great. He was afraid that if someone with bad intentions knew about it, they would come and threaten him.
So, he would have to choose to move secretly.
"Am I that loose-lipped?" Wang Kai was both amused and confused. He didn't understand why Jack was so cautious.
It's just a game ID. Is it that serious?
Could it be that you think just a game ID could shock me?
Jack whispered: "Actually... I'm One River Cold Water."
"Oh, so you are One River..."
Halfway through, Wang Kai suddenly froze and then shouted loudly: "Damn!!"
One River Cold Water!
The holder of this game ID has been the top topic of discussion in "Eternity" recently. It's hard for him not to know.
He never thought that his brother would be One River Cold Water.
"Sir, please keep your voice down in the store." The boss reminded.
Noticing that all the customers in the store were looking at him, Wang Kai smiled awkwardly: "OK. Sorry."
After ordering the food, the two sat at a small table and talked in low voices.
"Are you really One River Cold Water? Not kidding me?" Wang Kai murmured the name and finally reacted.
One River Cold Water, Jack...
His brother did the same as him, hiding his real name in the game ID.
"Yeah."
Jack nodded.
"Then it seems I can't help you in the game." Wang Kai smiled, "Since you are... him, then it's indeed not suitable to tell others your game ID to avoid unnecessary trouble. Brother, you can rest assured here. It's as if it was never mentioned."
"I trust you."
...
After having the spicy hot pot, it was already past seven when the two went home separately.
Jack logged into the game and reappeared in the Dark City. A system chime rang in his ears -
"Ding! ~"
System prompt: Please note that the adventurers' active help for the Dark City has aroused the dissatisfaction of the high-level of the Light Camp. They have decided to attack four days earlier for a quick victory!

...
The system chime that was broadcast three times in a row made Jack's expression freeze instantly.
Four days earlier!
Doesn't that mean... Tomorrow?!
