C4 Main Storyline Mission Activated

Why was the Lava Monster so tough to take down?

Its thick hide and formidable defense made it nearly impossible for players to penetrate.

But with Burning Damage, it's like having a weapon of mass destruction!

Wouldn't killing the Lava Monster now be a piece of cake?

"Holy shit, we actually called it," Chung Tianya remarked enviously from the side. "Let me see that reward, quick!"

Qi Tian shared the Orb's data with him and chuckled, "Well, are you green with envy?"

"Damn, that's top-notch!"

"Tian, name your price. How about selling me that Orb? I'll offer 100,000 credit points!"

Credit points were the universal currency in use around the world.

"Dream on. I wouldn't sell it for 200,000."

Qi Tian retorted, clearly unamused. It wasn't just Chung Tianya who recognized the game's unique qualities.

Given its immersive experience, this game was bound to be a hit.

This Orb, being a one-of-a-kind reward, was surely worth more than a mere 100,000 credit points!

"Come on, now that I've got this ultimate weapon, I'll help you grind and level up!"

Armed with the Orb, Qi Tian was unstoppable. Together with Chung Tianya, they found another Lava Monster and swiftly dispatched it without wasting much time.

A burst of white light signified Chung Tianya's successful initiation into his profession, although he missed out on the Unique Reward.

As the light faded, the fallen Lava Monster dropped several gray coins and a crimson spear.

"The coins and the spear are yours; I don't need them," said Qi Tian.

Without any pretense, Chung Tianya scooped up the loot.

Reincarnation Coin: A special currency with mystical powers, exclusive to the Reincarnation World.

Lava Spear — White

+5 Strength

"Not too shabby," he noted, pleased with the weapon's stats.

With so few having made it through the trials, securing this weapon made battling Lava Monsters a breeze.

Being one step ahead can mean being ahead at every step.

With this weapon in hand, he could certainly keep up his high-end player status!

"Now, my curiosity about this game is piqued even more."

Clutching his long spear, Chung Tianya said slowly, "This game is bound to be a hit."

He had never before experienced such lifelike visuals and exhilarating combat.

It must be said, he was already becoming captivated by the game.

"Not bad," Qi Tian agreed, nodding. "It's just too bad there's no way to make deposits yet, or I'd be willing to drop a few hundred thousand."

He wasn't kidding.

For both of them, money was no object.

A few hundred thousand might be a lot to others, but to them, it was trivial.

"We've got the upper hand for now, but it won't be long before others discover the Lava Monsters' weaknesses," Chung Tianya pointed out. "To keep our lead, top-notch gear is essential."

Qi Tian gave him a look. "What are you suggesting?"

A smile spread across Chung Tianya's face. "You've probably figured it out already."

"Hahaha," Qi Tian burst into laughter. "You really know me too well."

Chung Tianya scowled. "I'm not the worm, your whole family's full of them!"

...

Above, Bai Li twirled a Lava Gem in her hand, the fire attribute Spiritual Energy within it slowly being absorbed until it turned to dust.

"What's the purpose of that thing?" Lin Tian inquired, curious.

"It's extremely valuable," Bai Li responded gravely. "The Reincarnation World as it stands is fragmented, with many laws incomplete. With this gem, I can mend those gaps and, if necessary, even harness the power of the world itself."

Lin Tian looked puzzled, prompting Bai Li to explain, "Think of the Heavenly Tribulation, you know what that is, right?"

"With enough of these gems, I can gather enough power to call down the Heavenly Tribulation and strike down these monsters."

"However, the Heavenly Tribulation requires a vast amount of Spiritual Energy, so it's not something to be used lightly."

"Moreover, the Lava Gem's purpose doesn't end there. Once the laws are restored and I have sufficient Spiritual Energy, I can create more professions and weapons, enhancing the players' abilities."

"Fight to grow stronger!" Lin Tian suddenly grasped the strategic advantage, exclaiming in awe, "Brilliant!"

These features matched perfectly with the plan he had in mind!

Players need power to level up, and weapons need power infused into them.

Where does all this power come from?

It's derived from these invaders, of course.

Now, Bai Li can recycle waste to extract Spiritual Energy, coupled with the Undying Law.

Lin Tian was convinced he could forge an army that would command respect across the Whole Heaven Myriad Realms!

"Once over a hundred players have embarked on their professional paths, I'll immediately roll out the trading system," Lin Tian pondered aloud.

The number of players in the Reincarnation World was growing, and introducing the trading system would only fuel their excitement.

"Also, how are things going with the tasks I assigned to you?" Lin Tian inquired after a moment of thought.

Bai Li responded with irritation, "It's not that simple."

"With the Underworld gone, the spirits of the dead will vanish. Where am I supposed to find wandering souls for you?"

"This is going to be tricky," Lin Tian mused, gazing into the distance where the main force of the Lava Monsters was stationed at the heart of the wilderness.

"Unless, I have no choice but to target these creatures..."

...

As the Lava Monsters' vulnerabilities became increasingly known, more players embarked on their professional paths by slaying them.

When the hundredth player defeated a Lava Monster, the system announced, "The trading system has been successfully activated."

Players eagerly accessed the trading system to find only two items available.

Lava Spear — White, 50 Reincarnation Coins

Lava Orb — Green (Not a true treasure, lacking the Burning trait that distinguishes a treasure as a unique reward.) 200 Reincarnation Coins

Excitement surged among the players at the sight of these items.

Now they could purchase weapons!

"What's a Reincarnation Coin?"

"It looks like these creatures drop them. They're grey. Damn, I forgot to pick them up!"

The launch of the trading system sent waves of excitement through the player community, while the system's announcements continued.

"The main storyline mission, the Lava Crusade, is now underway."

"Defeat the Lava army and slay the Lava General Bamote to earn the exclusive title: Lava Ruler."

"The main storyline mission has started!"

"A unique mission with a title reward? I'm claiming that title!"

"No way, that title is mine. I'm going to gather a team and take down Bamote right now!"

The sole reward for completing the storyline quest was a title, and everyone was well aware of the exceptional attributes that came with it. Yet, the quest was anything but simple to complete.

Setting everything else aside, consider the final challenge: achieving the First Clear on the Boss. The Lava Monsters were merely minor foes, and if they were this tough to defeat, imagine the difficulty in facing Bamote, the Lava Great General himself.

He was a Boss-level adversary, and for these lower-level players, attempting to take him on would be like trying to fill a giant's tooth cavity with mere grains of sand.

Clever players had already begun to gather allies, forming teams with the intent of taking down the Boss. Amidst the players, a wave of silent anticipation and strategy was building.
