Chapter 150 The Grand Stage of Wind and Snow, Come If You Dare
The Supreme Building, the training room.
Chen You slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.
He felt the immense spiritual power within his body, but a hint of regret appeared on his face.
"What a pity. In another two hours, we might have been able to reach the sixth level of Qi Refining."
Now, it's time to kill the gods.
He stood up, a thought crossed his mind, and left the training room.
Chen You left the Supreme Building and summoned his mount, "Big White Rabbit," at the entrance.
The white rabbit, nimble and agile, leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of white light as it raced towards the Snow Mountain in the northwest of Thousand Light City.
On the system map, that area was covered by a huge red exclamation mark, representing the location of a world-class event.
Since it was an area that had already been explored, Chen You immediately activated the auto-pathfinding and closed his eyes to rest.
As we got closer to the snow-covered sacred mountain, the surrounding scenery began to become more crowded.
Several kilometers away from the sacred mountain, the Great White Rabbit had to slow down.
After traveling another kilometer, there was no more space on the ground, not even a place for the rabbit to land.
Chen You put away his mount and landed on a relatively open snowfield.
He looked up.
Ahead lay a mountain of people, a sea of people.
Countless adventurers crowded, collided, and fought each other.
A manic atmosphere spread through the crowd, and bloody scenes of people drawing knives over the slightest argument were commonplace.
The white light flashed almost continuously in the crowd.
Chen You's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
So many people?
It's even more chaotic than the subway during the morning rush hour!
Without the slightest hesitation, he took a step forward.
With more than ten minutes to go before the world leader arrives, flying up now would be too conspicuous.
Moreover, all three major divine races are definitely gathered above, and the BOSS hasn't appeared yet.
As an introverted, shy, and naive young man, how could I possibly handle that kind of situation?
Let's go and see first.
Below the mountain peak, countless figures were gathering.
This is hell for mortals, but paradise for speculators.
Adventurers covered every inch of land at the foot of the sacred mountain.
They come from all corners of the Origin Realm, of various races and with diverse professions.
At this moment, they share the same humble dream—to climb to the top of the mountain and touch the world leader.
Even if you only inflict 1 point of damage, you might receive a life-changing reward.
"Get out of the way! I was here first!"
"Move something! The boss is about to respawn!"
"Damn it! Whose arrow was that? It hit my chin! Do you want to die?"
The shouts, wails, clashing weapons, and magical explosions mingled together, creating a chaotic and desperate symphony.
The smooth, mirror-like ice wall is an insurmountable barrier for mortals; countless people have tried to climb it, only to fall halfway up.
They vanished in streaks of white light, only to reappear at the distant respawn point, surging back unwillingly once more.
Soon, Chen You also reached the brink of chaos.
There are so many adventurers here that their names overlap and intertwine, making it impossible to tell who is who.
If you want to go any further, you'd better be careful.
The scene before him reminded Chen You of famous tourist attractions during holidays.
The only difference is that the "tourists" here will actually kill people.
"This is such a hassle."
He muttered something under his breath and took a step forward.
His "Ink Abyss Galaxy Robe" was simply too eye-catching.
As he moved, the starlight he stirred up resembled ribbons.
Luxurious and mysterious, it stands in stark contrast to the muddy and bloody surroundings.
He was like a prince who had stumbled into a slum, instantly attracting the attention of everyone around him.
"Look, what's that guy wearing?"
"Holy crap, which big shot is it?!"
"Damn it, some idiot rich bastard dares to come to a place like this? Has he got a death wish?"
A glint of greed flashed in the eyes of the werewolf thief who was closest to him.
He had just been badly beaten in the melee and was worried about where to make some money. This mobile treasure trove in front of him was practically a freebie from the system.
Without the slightest hesitation, he activated his stealth skill and vanished into thin air.
The next second, a glint of cold light coated with deadly poison slashed toward the back of Chen You's neck!
Several players who noticed this scene wore gloating smiles.
However, the expected scene of blood splattering did not occur.
The sharp dagger seemed to have struck an invisible wall just an inch away from Chen You's skin.
It made a dull "clang" sound and could not advance any further.
The system notification popped up coldly in front of the werewolf thief.
[Note: The target is under newbie protection; you cannot inflict any damage on it.]
The werewolf thief froze.
The changes in his expression, from greed to astonishment, and then to utter horror as if he had seen a ghost, were so rapid that they were truly remarkable.
New player protection period?
What a joke! How did a newbie end up here?
Chen You seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, or perhaps he simply didn't care about this level of sneak attack.
He didn't even pause for a moment, continuing to walk forward.
"Bang!"
A fireball the size of a human head hurtled towards them; it was a stray bullet fired by a mage during the melee.
The fireball struck Chen You precisely on the back.
There was no explosion, and no damage.
The raging fireball was like a gentle bubble, lightly touching Mo Yuan's starry robe, and then with a "poof," it quietly vanished.
Chen You continued walking.
His pace was neither fast nor slow, as leisurely as if he were taking a stroll in his own backyard.
The fighting continued all around, with swords flashing and magic flying everywhere.
Strangely, all attacks aimed at him, whether intentional or accidental, automatically dissipated within a certain range of his body.
Gradually, an "absolutely safe zone" formed around him.
All the players who noticed this bizarre scene were stunned.
The sounds of fighting and cursing fell eerily silent in this small area.
Countless gazes were focused on the leisurely figure in black robes.
He ignored the flashing swords around him, the corpses and blood beneath his feet, and walked steadily towards the ice wall, step by step.
The chaotic battlefield seemed to have become his personal red carpet.
"What...what's going on? Is there a system bug?"
"What bug? Are you all blind? Look at his face! Look at his ID!"
A sharp-eyed player suddenly let out a terrified scream.
"It's...it's Chen You! That ruthless guy who cleaved the dungeon in two with a single sword strike!"
"Holy crap! It really is him!"
"What's he doing here? Shouldn't he have been up on the mountaintop by now?"
The crowd erupted in chaos.
If fashion merely makes someone appear wealthy, then the ID "Chen You" represents a completely incomprehensible and unreasonable force!
Fear began to spread.
But then, another, stronger emotion replaced the fear.
It's fanaticism!
"Hey boss! Need a mount? Me! I'm tanky and have high defense, I can be a tank!" a dwarven shield warrior shouted excitedly, trying to squeeze next to Chen You.
"Get lost! What use is a tin can like you to the boss? Boss, look at me, I'm a priest, I can heal you to the max!"
"Hey bro! Look at me! It's me, Ai Kun, bro!"
The enemies who were fighting to the death just moments ago have temporarily put aside their grudges, their eyes shining as they desperately try to get closer to Chen You.
In their eyes, Chen You was no longer a player.
He is a moving gold mine, a ticket to the summit, and an opportunity to change one's destiny!
As long as I can latch onto this powerful figure, I might not only get to touch the world boss, but I might even get a few sips of soup!
Chen You suddenly felt a little regretful.
I should have just flown up there; even if it attracted attention, at least it wouldn't have affected me.
Just as he was caught in a dilemma, a notification sound rang.
He couldn't help but click on it.
[Moon Arrow]: Chairman Chen, I thought you weren't coming.
