Chapter 521: Fat Dragon’s Game
After Lu Li confirmed the transaction, he found that the Book of Arcane and the Forbidden Spell Array of Divine Judgment that he had stored in the storage space had disappeared. Then an email appeared in his mailbox. He clicked it and withdrew 300 million.

Fat Dragon’s commission rate is 1%. Normally, he should have received 297 million. The reason why he received an integer was because this time the Wandering Mage chose to pay the transaction fee, and gave Lu Li tens of thousands more to fill the gap.

[Wandering Mage (Arcane): Brother, you are so straightforward. By the way, if you pay me protection money after we meet, please give me a 20% discount.]

Lu Li couldn’t help laughing after seeing this message, but he also knew that most people in the group were joking.

Most of these people are either judges or pioneers. They are soft and ruthless online, but they strike hard in the mission world.

If they were not faced with a situation where they were sure to die, it was unlikely that they would surrender in the mission world.

Just as the big guy in the God Space said, everyone can fight each other when they meet in the mission world, but just be friendly in the group.

[Honest Little King (Origin): Brother Meng, does anyone know how to pass the 69th level of “Heavenly Road”? I’m stuck, is there any strategy? ]

[Is it in accordance with the porridge etiquette (Xianling): How come you have only reached level 69? I have reached level 87. There is a walkthrough, but it is not free. ]

[Angry Old Sister (End): @Handsome Little King, ignore him, he keeps talking. I’ll tell you in private chat. By the way, is there a guide for the “Destiny” you cleared before? ]

[Honest Little King (Origin): That’s great, let’s exchange strategies, destiny isn’t that difficult, sister, private chat.]

Lu Li was a little confused when he saw the guys in the group starting to talk about these topics.

Then he suddenly realized that these people were talking about the APP games in the Fat Dragon bracelet. Players could get amazing rewards after completing those games, but the download fees were also extremely high.

Previously, Fat Dragon accidentally put the End Training Ground Experience Card into the daily exchange pile. No wonder he was so reluctant, because it was originally a high-level reward for certain games.

[I love watching fun (Tian Dao): I really envy the big guys for being able to play games. 】

[Luo Mo Juancai (Hongmeng): +1]

[Wandering Mage (Arcane): +1]

[My stick is a bit thick (chaos): +1]

[Gorilla Fire (Ancient): +1]

……

Next, the group was filled with a series of copy-and-paste messages. Lu Li took a look and found that because the rank of each person was displayed in the lower right corner of their name, he could tell who was a big shot and who was a newbie.

Most of those who envy the big guys playing games here are level five or below.

Through everyone’s discussions about the game, Lu Li roughly figured out what was going on. It seemed that in Fat Dragon’s chat group, the high-level explorers all loved playing games.

The rewards for completing those games seem to have a fatal attraction to everyone, but it seems that completing the game is not an easy task. Even the seventh and eighth level bosses are exchanging strategies.

Lu Li was curious, mainly because he was still thinking about the experience card of the ultimate training ground, so he focused his attention on Pangpanglong’s app store and checked the Tianlu game mentioned in the chat of the big guys.

There are many games in the app store. Currently, there are three most popular games in the download rankings, namely “Heavenly Road”, “Heavenly Destiny” and “Heavenly Time”. The reason why Lu Li is more interested in Heavenly Road is that there is an “Ultimate Training Ground Experience Card” in the advanced rewards of Heavenly Road.

Lu Li is very rich now, but looking at the sky-high download fee of 600 million End Coins for this game, he is still a little hesitant.

[Prisoner (End): Guys, I have a question. In addition to the rewards, are there any other benefits to playing games? ]

After he asked in the group, someone responded quickly.

[Angry Old Sister (End): It seems you are quite rich. I can only say that if you have money, you can play it. Once you play, you will not say a word. ]

[Honest Little King (Origin): It’s not that extreme. It would be painful if you can’t pass the level. You are not in a hurry at your current level. You might as well spend money to buy equipment and upgrade your bloodline.]

[I’m almost broke (God): Really, why can’t I just top up and clear this crappy game? I’m stuck at level 8! ]

[@我快穷死 Your comments violated the group rules. I will give you a warning. ]

[I am almost broke (God): … Please start recharging, I want to spend money. ]

Lu Li first thanked the group members for their responses, and then he had an idea about the game provided by Fatty Dragon.

The rewards of these games may not be the only temptation for advanced explorers. The game levels themselves may be very interesting, or provide some benefits to the explorers, which is why they flock to play the games.

As for whether the download fees of these games are expensive, this is relative. For fifth-level explorers, it is certainly expensive, but for eighth-level explorers, this may be their tea money, which is the same as ordinary people spending a dozen dollars to download a small stand-alone game.

These games are designed for explorers who are probably above level seven. Of course, there is no harm in getting in touch with them early. Just like what Sister Cranky said, Lu Li suspects that there are some projects in them that can cultivate people’s combat awareness, so he won’t lose money if he plays them.

After thinking it through, Lu Li decided to try the next game. Only by playing it himself could he know.

[You have successfully downloaded ‘Tianlu’. Since this is your first time playing the game of Fat Dragon Store, you will start the novice guide by default. ]

After the prompt sound, a light screen appeared in Lu Li’s mind, with various detailed explanations of the game.

According to the description, Tianlu is the latest soul game developed by the Pangpanglong technical team. Each level is equivalent to a simulated battlefield. The number of levels in the game is not announced at present.

After starting the Tianlu game, the player’s consciousness will enter the game, and the explorer will be scanned by the bracelet, and the explorer’s avatar will be perfectly constructed in the game space.

This property is somewhat similar to the arena in space, but the arena is PVP. For pioneers and judges, they may not always encounter powerful opponents, or opponents who can help them grow after fighting.

The Tianlu game is different. There are various levels in it. Some require strong combat power, while others have certain requirements for wisdom. If you can continue to pass the levels, you can gain a lot of combat insights and other rewards.

Compared to the boring process of grinding in the arena and bullying the weak ones, where you can only fight with the strong ones once or twice at the end, the road to heaven is obviously more challenging.

Moreover, Lu Li had to say that Pangpanglong understood operations. He was a newcomer who had just downloaded the game. After explaining various rules, a ranking list popped up next to it.

Because it is a newly launched game, there are not many people on the leaderboard. Including Lu Li, there are only about twenty people in total.

He took a look and saw that the person ranked first was nicknamed ‘Kunxian’, a big guy from the Hongmeng Space, currently at level 987. The second person was ‘Longsheqilu’ from the Origin Space, currently at level 836. The third person was ‘Manjushage’ from the End Space, currently at level 801.

Lu Li had never seen these people in the group. They seemed to never show their heads and talk. They were the most aloof group. No one talked about them when people in the group chatted. Lu Li guessed that it might be because the legs of these big guys were too thick, so no one dared to hug them.

However, he had heard of the name Manjusaka. She seemed to be the deputy head of the botanical garden. She had asked Black Lily to invite him before, but was rejected by Lu Li.

Now that I think about it, he seemed pretty brave.

At this time, Lu Li was also very curious. Manjushage was only the deputy leader of the botanical garden, but she was already so strong. Then who was their leader?
Although Tianlu is just a game and may not be able to reflect one’s true strength, looking at the game’s level-breaking gameplay, Lu Li feels that those who can quickly beat the people behind must be very strong.

Because the trading market was crowded with people but no one came to buy anything, Lu Li had nothing to do anyway so he just entered the game to take a look. After all, if there was any news from the outside world, the game would give a prompt.

So Lu Li hung a sign next to it, “Please do not bargain, if you want to buy, please trade directly”

In this way, when he meets a real buyer, he will be awakened by the transaction prompt.

With anticipation, Lu Li clicked on the “Sky Road”. The next moment, he felt as if his consciousness was being pulled away. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself on a huge platform.

The platform is approximately ten kilometers in diameter and seems to be suspended in the boundless void. It is dark in all directions, but the surface of the platform emits a faint light, allowing people to see the surrounding objects clearly.

[Prisoner, welcome to the game. Please check your game progress]

[Current level: Level 1]

[Number of deaths: 0]

[Clearance goal: Kill nine demons]

While Lu Li was browsing this information, he also saw a countdown in the upper right corner. After the countdown reached zero, a white light flashed on the platform, and nine red-skinned demons over three meters tall appeared.

What’s strange is that his reconnaissance skills can also be used in the game, and he can even take out the Chubby Dragon’s reconnaissance puppet from the storage space.

After investigation, he found that the overall attributes of these demons were basically the same as his, and they even had a slight advantage in strength and physique.

This did not surprise him, because the previous novice guidance instructions mentioned that for the fairness of the game, no one could gain an advantage in attributes when clearing levels.

Therefore, there is no such situation that a ninth-level explorer encounters a group of noobs whose attributes are 100 points lower than his own when he is fighting the first level. The attributes of the opponents everyone fights are matched with their own.

After the battle started, nine demons rushed directly towards Lu Li.

Lu Li frowned slightly as he took a step, because he just wanted to use instant step to fly into the air out of habit, but he found that the world in this game space was extremely heavy. Not to mention creating a landing point for the spirit particles to fly into the sky, it was very difficult for him to move even with his feet on the ground.

What this actually manifests is that even those demons with extremely high attributes can only run at a speed of a few dozen meters per second on the ground.

Lu Li moved his arms and felt the oppressive force on his body. It was very strange. If he had to make a metaphor, it was like he was a fish swimming from pure water into mercury.

The density of space is different, so he can’t move freely, which creates a scene of mountains collapsing and the earth splitting.

While Lu Li was thinking, the demons’ offensive had already arrived. The nine demons were still aware of the need to attack together. Because Lu Li was not used to this feeling yet, he suffered a small loss at the beginning. When the prisoner demon resisted, he was hit by the demon’s club and flew backwards.

Fortunately, he had a strong adaptability and quickly took control of his body and adapted to the density of this space.

He could choose to directly release lightning and use true damage to destroy these demons, but Lu Li was excited to see the prey and wanted to test the level of these NPCs, so he picked up a knife and fought with the nine demons.

A minute later, all nine demons were killed. Lu Li stood in front of the body of the last demon, thinking about something.

The battle was not as easy as he had imagined, because he was surprised to find that these demons… each of them had a master-level combat expertise!
Coupled with their tacit cooperation, if Lu Li did not activate the awakened AOE and only used swordsmanship to fight, it would take a lot of effort to defeat these demons.

[Congratulations on clearing the level. You are about to enter the second level. Before entering the next level, please choose one of the following three buffs. 】

[1. Soul source limit -2%]

[2. Life source limit -2%]

[3. Damage received +2%]

When Lu Li saw these three options, he was stunned. He had played the tower climbing game before, but he never expected that the buff given on each floor was not a positive buff, but a negative buff!

According to this, wouldn’t it mean that the health and soul energy of those who have climbed seven or eight hundred floors have already dropped to the freezing point, and their resistance is almost zero! ?

All of a sudden, Lu Li began to understand the value of those big guys who were above level 800. This was equivalent to passing the levels without any tolerance for error. Not to mention how much they were weakened, it was impossible for the enemies in the later stages of the game to always be at the level of demons.

Thinking of this, Lu Li’s mouth curled up uncontrollably. He began to like this game.

Rather, after seeing the difficulty of this game, he felt that his previous worries were unnecessary. The high-level explorers must be very capable fighters, and he would not have to worry about not finding opponents in the future.

An afternoon passed and Lu Li reached the 19th level before he quit the Tianlu game with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

The main reason is that he received an order from outside and someone initiated a transaction application to him.

“Brother, are you going to sell it or not?”

The people standing in front of the stall were getting a little impatient, wondering why Lu Li was sitting there in a daze.

Lu Li glanced at the transaction panel and was a little surprised, because this was a big customer who bought almost all the remaining goods on his stall in one go. “Deal.”

According to the marked prices, the Sen Sen Fruit is 100 million, the Seraph Blind Box is 60, the Fantasy Beast Species. Fengxi Fruit is 200 million, two ancient species and one Fantasy Beast Species are 340 million in total. If all are sold, the total is 700 million.

The other party was so generous in buying the goods, he probably tried to bargain, but Lu Li didn’t react in the game. He probably thought that Lu Li rejected him, so he made up his mind and placed the order directly.

At this point, except for the research report on Saturn and the mother fire, Lu Li had sold all of his gains, earning a total of 2000 million. Because he originally had 60 End of the World Coins, after paying off the money he owed to the space and spending money with Fatty Dragon, he still had 750 million End of the World Coins.

Lu Li closed his stall and stood up. Just as he was thinking about upgrading some of his equipment, he suddenly received a notification from the End Space.

[The world battle will begin in 72 hours, pioneers please be prepared. 】
