Heroes' Prison

Chapter 747 - 712 "Overview of the First World

In the Tower of Pantheons, Huang Yi basically played a minor role. He was only Level 40, facing the Holy Domain’s lesser monsters without any fighting power; he had to rely on the other four girls to do the battle.

Tingxi was a hunter, Haitang was a female warrior, Shuimo Qingxiang was a mage, and Yue Yue was a priest. This combination was indeed reasonable. The only problem was that they were a bit frail in tanking monsters; Haitang, the female warrior, could only temporarily take on the role of a knight, charging ahead to face the attacks from the monsters.

Fortunately, the floor they were fighting at wasn’t too high, just the 101st, about ten levels below them, so the battles went relatively smoothly.

Like this, the five of them steadily progressed, with the bosses dropping Blue-Purple Gear item after item. They picked them up with sheer joy. They basically wore only Blue-Purple Gear, owning barely a few pieces of Orange Gear, not to mention Legendary Epic gear.

"Wow! Orange Gear, yeah!" After defeating the fifth boss, Haitang suddenly picked up a necklace that had dropped and said excitedly. She immediately shared the attributes of the necklace with everyone.

A few girls excitedly examined the attributes of the necklace, their eyes lingering on it for long moments.

"That’s great; this is the first piece of Orange Gear we’ve gotten this month!" Shuimo Qingxiang said with a cheerful laugh, showing a cute dimple.

"Yes! If we sold it, it could be worth several hundred yuan, right?" Tingxi also nodded and kept caressing the Orange Gear necklace.

"This is for a priest class, but you have to be Level 111 to wear it. Yue Yue, it’s yours! You just need one more level before you can wear it. Then, you will be a super powerful priest!" Haitang said as she solemnly handed the Orange Gear necklace to Yue Yue, as if she was handing over a heaven-defying treasure.

Yue Yue happily accepted the necklace and began to pose with it against her chest. It was a long time before she reluctantly stowed it away, planning to wear it once she reached the requisite level.

Huang Yi quietly watched them, seemingly infected by the atmosphere. When he used to play Tower of God, the bosses always dropped Orange Gear, and he wasn’t even interested in picking them up. But for these girls, Orange Gear was a rare treasure, and their happiness was always so easily fulfilled.

"Apprentice, this piece of Purple Gear is for you! Don’t be shy; we have all already picked up our spoils of war. If you don’t take it, we’ll feel bad," Haitang said, handing a piece of Purple Gear to Huang Yi after divvying up the loot, and spoke earnestly.

"Sure!" Huang Yi didn’t want to dampen their spirits and pretended to be excited as he took the Purple Gear, storing it carefully in the storage ring.

"Apprentice, what level were you before your reincarnation and what gear did you have?" Shuimo Qingxiang, though petite and needing to look up to see Huang Yi’s eyes, addressed him like a true master, putting aside her lolita charm and asking in a tender master’s tone.

Huang Yi pursed his lips and told a white lie, "I was only Level 100. All my gear was Purple."

"Don’t worry, your masters will take care of you!" Shuimo Qingxiang said, tiptoeing to pat Huang Yi on the head in an affectionate, masterful manner.

Afterwards, the group teleported out and reset to teleport back in, starting to farm the Tower of God over and over again.

They gave all the warrior gear to Huang Yi, caring for him lovingly.

They continued farming until evening, when everyone finally took a break and began to walk back in the moonlight.

"Have you guys noticed that the loot we got today seems to be more than before?" Haitang suddenly said excitedly as they walked home.

A thought struck Huang Yi; his storage ring was the Hero’s Ring, which had the effect of doubling the drop rate. Since he was in a team with the girls, the average drop rate would naturally be increased a bit.

"It might be because of Big Baddie. He’s only Level 40 now. Maybe in this secret realm that’s dozens of levels above him, it would increase the drop rate a little," Tingxi soon attributed the reason to Huang Yi.

"Haha, it’s good to have an apprentice!" Haitang said, reaching out to pat Huang Yi’s head, "I’ll go buy you some tasty treats later!"

Walking leisurely, the five chatted and laughed together as the bright moonlight showered over them, peaceful and tranquil.

Their crisp laughter traveled far in the quiet of the night town.

...

The next day, Huang Yi got up early and went to eat breakfast in the cafeteria.

"Desire Arises from the Heart is too detestable!"

"Yeah! Clearly, it was Desire Arises from the Heart who made the command mistake, but they blamed our Sun Guild for not doing enough! This national warfare is so damn frustrating!"

"If Brother Lei were the commander-in-chief, it would be great, but unfortunately, ’Desire Arises from the Heart’ won’t step down..."

Having just served his meal, Huang Yi was about to find a place to sit down when he overheard the discussion of a few inmates nearby. He couldn’t help but pick up his plate and sit down next to them.

"Brother Yi!" The inmates stopped their chat and greeted him respectfully as they saw Huang Yi coming.

Huang Yi nodded at them and while eating, said, "What were you just discussing? Tell me about it."

"We were talking about the national war issue! ’Desire Arises from the Heart’ is so disgusting!" One inmate immediately put down his chopsticks, speaking indignantly: "The day before yesterday, ’Desire Arises from the Heart’ wanted our Sun Guild to send troops to attack an enemy stronghold. Brother Lei thought the stronghold might be an ambush and refused to send troops. ’Desire Arises from the Heart’ accused Brother Lei of not following orders and being selfish, and had other guilds attack the stronghold. As a result, when those people arrived, they were ambushed by a large enemy force and annihilated. ’Desire Arises from the Heart’ not only refused to take responsibility, but also accused our Sun Guild of not sending troops! He blamed everything on us."

Another player also put down his chopsticks, saying angrily, "Relying on his strong background, ’Desire Arises from the Heart’ commands at will, while people like Brother Lei, who genuinely have command abilities, are slandered by him and can’t gain the position of commander-in-chief."

Huang Yi listened to their words and frowned. It seemed the national war would be hard to win if ’Desire Arises from the Heart’ did not step down as the commander-in-chief.

In large-scale national wars, the commander-in-chief is a very important position. ’Desire Arises from the Heart’ has a deep political background and had recently used his advantages in the real world to campaign successfully for himself, setting up a rebel army early on, and taking the lead. Many large and small guilds had joined his army, making it very difficult for others to replace him.

If you did not join his army, then you would be weak and isolated. Even if the Sun Guild and Hero Guild joined forces, they would not be able to counter the combined invading army of eleven countries and would not be decisive.

"Let’s wait and see! Players are not fools; if ’Desire Arises from the Heart’ continues like this, Chinese players will veto him as the commander-in-chief," Huang Yi pondered. He was currently in the cycle of reincarnation with no right to speak; otherwise, he might have been able to fight for the commander-in-chief position.

After dinner, Huang Yi returned to his cell and re-entered The Second World.

At that moment, the room was quiet, with only Yue Yue inside. She was holding a thick book, quietly reading under the dim light of an oil lamp, her elegant silhouette exuding intellectual beauty.

"Apprentice, you’re here!" Yue Yue seemed to sense Huang Yi’s arrival and turned her head to look at him with a gentle smile.

"Good evening, Master!" Huang Yi nodded, pulled over a chair, and sat down next to Yue Yue, flipping through the book in front of her that bore the title — ’Overview of the First World’ in bold letters.

"Hmm? You are reading this book?" Huang Yi couldn’t help but be slightly surprised. Bloodhoof had browsed this book in the cellar during his Second Transformation mission. That night, Bloodhoof had also told him the story of the Barbarian God.

Yue Yue nodded, brushing a strand of hair behind her fair ear and said, "Yes! Haitang and I are both history majors, so we are quite interested in history. Even though this is a virtual world, its history is quite interesting. The author of this book was a famous Bard and scholar from Ancient Times, who was also the dean of the Oskan Royal Academy at the time — Mu Yan. Qing Shi. He wrote this book while travelling in the First World, where he spent three years and even witnessed the birth of the greatest Deity of the First World, the Barbarian God. Unfortunately, he passed away shortly after completing this book."

"Hmm?" At that moment, Huang Yi was suddenly struck by a thought.

"Apprentice, what’s wrong?" Yue Yue noticed his odd expression and looked at him curiously.

Huang Yi thought for a moment, then, looking intently at Yue Yue, with his eyes focused in the flickering light, said, "You mean, the author of this book traveled in the First World for three years, witnessed the birth of the Barbarian God, but died right after finishing this book?"

"Yes!" Yue Yue nodded matter-of-factly, "Why do you suddenly ask?"

"Has anyone revised this book since then?" Huang Yi continued, his expression growing increasingly serious.

"No!" Yue Yue shook her head and explained, "To honour the author, the Oskan Royal Academy published it according to the original manuscript, without altering a single word. Besides, they couldn’t have made changes even if they had wanted to, as it is the first official encyclopedia about the First World. The demigods who had traveled there before had never written a book on the subject. How could others who know nothing about the First World make revisions?"

"How could this be?" Huang Yi stroked his chin, his brow deeply furrowed as he pondered the perplexing question.

"Three years... Barbarian God... Death..." He muttered these keywords to himself while thinking.

He seemed to have caught onto a doubt, but upon further thought, found it too wild to believe, making him feel incredulous!
