Chapter 534: Dark Abyss Mode Initials; the E-sport Begins!
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
-It was the end of summer-
Although the Yuanyang City Shop had released all the old games, most of the players, as if out of habit, would spend a little over 3 hours to use up the fatigue points of Dungeon Fighter Online even though they put their main focus on games such as the Legend of the Sword and Fairy or StarCraft.
The three shops had undergone another expansion. Besides the people of the Heavenly Academy and the seven ancient families, people of other forces in the Spiritual State had also come to visit the Yuanyang City Shop.
The Half City Shop and Jiuhua City Shop were in similar situations. In addition, since Dungeon Fighter Online was the first game that required no activation fee; the players only needed to spend 2 crystals per hour to play this game.
Playing this game, the civilian warriors and poor cultivators could save on the high activation fees.
By now, from the account registrations, the players of Dungeon Fighter Online had reached more than 30,000, and the number was still growing.
More and more adventurers entered the prosperous and beautiful Arad Continent.
Zong Wu, one of the oldest players of the game, was now a bit baffled.
“What mission is this?!” Although his character in the game was blind, Zong Wu wasn’t blind. Thus, he could see the information on the game interface. Puzzled, he looked at the interface while his character followed the instruction of the mission and came before his trainer G.S.D.
He had accurately found G.S.D. who hadn’t made any sounds.
The bald and blind old man was in old ragged clothes. At first glance, no one would have guessed that this little old man was one of the most powerful slayers on the continent. He excelled in all kinds of slayer sword techniques and was the first awakened Asura on Arad Continent.
“Hey! Young Man, can you see me?”
“...” Zong Wu’s face darkened. Few players advanced into the subclass of Asura because they had to destroy their own eyes.
After all, no one would willingly become blind! This was a virtual reality world with beautiful scenery
“Hehe! No need to be angry.” The short and thin old man said mildly, “There are many ways to observe things. Don’t regard yourself as a blind man. The things in the world are observed not with the eyes but with the mind. For example, you found me without the aid of sounds, right? Do you still think that you are blind?”
“...” Zong Wu was at a loss for words. He had indeed thought of giving up on this subclass, but in this world, a warrior who had high-level cultivation strength had great fortitude and never gave up without a fight.
Now, not only in the game but in the real world, he could walk smoothly without much trouble even with his eyes closed.
At this moment, G.S.D. began to teach him a new method of observing the world: Mind’s Eye.
As the trainer, G.S.D. began the lesson by letting Zong Wu feel the wave from a stone and death...
In fact, Zong Wu hadn’t understood this method of observing things at the beginning. Without anyone guiding him, he had battled with this method for a long time, but he still only had a vague concept of it.
In the previous battles, he had accumulated lots of battle experience. Now, he would be guided onto the road of awakening step by step.
With the help of his trainer, Zong Wu almost immediately understood everything. Now, he no longer looked at the old swordsman with resentment. Instead, he now spoke to the old man with respect.
“I got it now...” He carefully felt the waves of things around him including the lifeforms and dead objects. Even without eyes, he had a clear image of the things in his mind.
No one could imagine how he was feeling at this moment, the elation, thrill, and heart-felt joy after enduring so many hardships filled his mind.
Perhaps from now on, nothing could ever escape his senses, and this new way of detecting things wouldn’t put people on guard.
He had encountered more obstacles than others in battles, but he had also benefited more than others.
Now, he was only one step away from breaking off his chains!
Vilmark – Area 50 was near Elvenguard, the players’ spawn place.
Since its boss, Hyper Mecha Tau, was a mechanical bull, this map was also called Mechanical Bull.
Trainer G.S.D. had sensed lots of shadowy dark presences from this place, and he made this place the last test before awakening.
As the trainer, G.S.D. hoped his slayer disciples could benefit from the battle.
Perhaps at this moment, for Zong Wu and other slayers, G.S.D. was more than a NPC (non-player character) but a true trainer as well.
Perhaps years later, the adventurers who roamed on this land would leave, but as long as they still used the sword techniques of slayers, they would never forget their experience on this land.
As soon as Zong Wu walked out of the Back Alley where G.S.D. lived, he took a carriage to Grand Flores. When he arrived, he saw a person, who wore a purple and white long robe and held a strange-shaped short sword, yelling, “Mechanical Bull Awakening Mission! We have two and need two more! Get onboard as soon as possible!”
A loli carrying a spear stood by this man and shouted with him, “Mechanical Bull Awakening Mission! A grandmaster is leading the group. We need two teammates who are not too noob!”
“!!??” Zong Wu froze.
They were the few highest-level players in the shop, and Zong Wu thought, “A grandmaster is leading a group to the Mechanical Bull?!
While his face twitched, and he wondered, “Is it Mr. Fang?”
Meanwhile, Fang Qi received a new prompt on his system interface:
[More than 10 players have taken awakening mission in Dungeon Fighter Online. The game will be updated.]
[The update will take place in the background and won’t interfere with the players’ gaming experience. The update will finish by the end of tomorrow.]
