Heroes' Prison

Chapter 964 - 911: Bloodhoof is Lying

"Your balance is insufficient, please recharge in time." Suddenly, Huang Yi’s monitor popped up a system prompt in the lower right corner, and then the computer forced a shutdown.

After entering this secret realm, Huang Yi only had a hundred dollars on him, and now the membership card has used up 20. If the 100 dollars runs out and he still can’t complete the trial, he will face failure!

The time became even more urgent!

Huang Yi recharged his membership card again and logged back into the computer.

At this moment, he suddenly saw the logo of "Legendary".

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind. He finally thought of a method for rapid leveling - private servers!

Last night during the all-nighter, Li Qiang played on a "Legendary" private server and explained to Huang Yi that private servers are a place for rapid growth, where leveling speed is extremely fast and equipment is easily acquired. What others might take years to achieve can be accomplished in a few days or even hours on a private server.

Under the current circumstances, Huang Yi only had a few dozen dollars left. To quickly move from level 1 to level 250, only on a private server could it be done!

Huang Yi immediately opened the browser and entered the words "The Second World private server" into the search engine, clicking search.

The next moment, a line of search results appeared on the search page—

"The Second World super private server, Epic Equipment is given upon clicking, top-grade equipment spammed in seconds, cheap to recharge and fun to play."

"The Second World newly opened private server, moderately extreme, fair and stable, open for a long time."

...

Seeing this dazzling list of private servers, Huang Yi knew he was on the right track.

So it seemed, the key to this trial was to see if he could solve problems from a perspective over a hundred years old.

Ordinary people returning to over a hundred years ago can’t change their thinking readily, can’t integrate well into that era, just like Huang Yi before, who didn’t even know online games had server classifications, let alone knowledge of private servers. If he hadn’t asked Li Qiang one more question, he wouldn’t know what a private server was now.

People who haven’t experienced this era find it difficult to solve problems using methods from this era.

Next, Huang Yi chose an extreme private server where Epic Equipment would be given as soon as he entered the game.

After downloading the private server launcher, Huang Yi followed the instructions in the operation manual to install the private server and logged into the game again.

This private server was indeed convenient, even skipping the steps of Rare Quests, directly offering Rare Race and Rare Class upon entry. Opening the storage ring revealed several pieces of Epic Equipment inside.

Huang Yi donned these Epic pieces and quickly teleported to the Tower of Pantheons to start level grinding.

This private server was extremely extreme; the leveling speed was incredibly fast. Huang Yi leveled up to 5 after killing one monster, and by the time he chopped down three, he was already level 10.

"[System Prompt]: You have obtained the Eye of Time."

He hadn’t done anything, merely leveled up to 10, yet the private server gifted him the Eye of Time.

This private server corresponded to his previous experiences as well. When Huang Yi was in The Second World, he gained the Eye of Time ability at level 10. In this private server, as long as he reached the corresponding level, he could automatically acquire his previous abilities.

...

Gradually, a day passed.

Huang Yi had already leveled up to 150, and started the Second Transformation Trial.

His Second Transformation Trial also remained the same as what he had experienced before. He teleported to a place called Blood Town, where all the people had turned into ghouls, lost their sanity, and went berserk every night, making it very dangerous.

Among them, a woman had not lost her sanity; she was Bloodhoof’s mother. Every evening, she would hide Bloodhoof in the cellar to prevent him from being discovered by the ghouls.

Huang Yi followed the storyline step by step, everything was identical to his past experience.

Suddenly, Huang Yi had a thought.

He could repeat his previous experience, which indicated that he could do something he had always wanted to do but never had the opportunity for!

He wanted to explore a secret, a secret related to Bloodhoof!

At this point, the Second Transformation storyline was already halfway through. Huang Yi had revealed to Bloodhoof’s father the secret that Bloodhoof’s mother was a ghoul, and Bloodhoof’s father went outside through the cellar’s hidden passage to check for himself.

In the cellar, only Huang Yi and the young Bloodhoof remained.

Bloodhoof, holding a book written by Mu Yan. Qing Shi titled "Overview of the First World", began to tell Huang Yi the story of the Barbarian God’s divine enthronement in the First World.

Huang Yi immediately perked up and listened attentively to Bloodhoof’s story, especially the details about the Barbarian God.

The reason why he cared about this was because during his reincarnation on the Singapore continent, while with those five girls Yue Yue, Haitang, Shuimo Qingxiang, Tiantian Shuijiao, and Tingxi, he heard another version of "Overview of the First World".

That version of "Overview of the First World" had a huge difference compared to what Bloodhoof mentioned!

At this moment, in the dim cellar, Bloodhoof, holding "Overview of the First World", said longingly: "The Barbarian God was born from the Golden Cave in the high mountains, riding a Barbarian Bull able to tread clouds and soar. In his second year, he became the strongest in the First World, and in his sixth year, he succeeded in divine enthronement. To evade the Pantheon and gather strength for avenging his parents, the Barbarian God chose to enter the Demon Realm, becoming one of the 108 Great Demon Gods! And the First World, due to the Barbarian God’s presence, became even more powerful; he was the greatest person in the First World."

"It’s right here!" Huang Yi thought, and his mind again recalled the scene when he and Yue Yue discussed the book—

At that time, Yue Yue said: "The author of ’Overview of the First World’ is a famous Bard and scholar from Ancient Times, and also the head of the Oskan Royal Academy back then—Mu Yan. Qing Shi. He wrote the book during his travels in the First World. He traveled in the First World for three years and witnessed the birth of the Barbarian God. Unfortunately, he passed away shortly after completing the book."

"Yue Yue, are you saying that the author of this book traveled the First World for three years and witnessed the Barbarian God’s birth, but then passed away shortly after finishing the book?"

"Yes! Why are you asking this now?"

"Was this book later revised by someone else?"

"No! The Oskan Royal Academy respected the author of this book, published it according to the original manuscript, without changing a single word. They couldn’t revise it even if they wanted to, because it is the first formal encyclopedia of the First World. None of the previous demigods who traveled the First World wrote any books on this topic. Anyone else would be completely unfamiliar with the First World, how could they revise it!"

At the time, when Huang Yi and Yue Yue discussed this book, they focused on the author Mu Yan. Qing Shi, who traveled the First World for only three years! Then returned to write "Overview of the First World"! He went back and passed away right after finishing this book!

Since this book isn’t revised by anyone, it indicates everything was written by Mu Yan. Qing Shi himself; his own experiences.

But this contradicts Bloodhoof’s explanation!

Mu Yan. Qing Shi traveled the First World for three years and witnessed the birth of the Barbarian God!

But the Barbarian God took six years to achieve divine enthronement!

This time difference means Mu Yan. Qing Shi couldn’t possibly know about the Barbarian God’s enthronement! When the Barbarian God achieved divine enthronement, Mu Yan. Qing Shi had already written "Overview of the First World" and passed away years ago!

So, "Overview of the First World" couldn’t possibly contain records of the Barbarian God’s divine enthronement!

Later, Huang Yi researched the book "Overview of the First World" himself, and it indeed didn’t have any content about the Barbarian God’s divine enthronement.

But now, Bloodhoof supposedly saw the divine enthronement of the Barbarian God from "Overview of the First World". How should this be explained?

In that previous trial, Huang Yi had asked Bloodhoof why he was so knowledgeable about the First World. At the time, Bloodhoof explicitly said he’d seen it in "Overview of the First World"!

This discrepancy repeatedly puzzled Huang Yi!

Ultimately, he had a bold hypothesis - Bloodhoof was lying!

In The Second World’s history at Bloodhoof’s time, it suddenly seemed to get shrouded with some dust, becoming hazy. After Bloodhoof, no one else achieved divine enthronement, and now Huang Yi suspected Bloodhoof might be lying.

Furthermore, countless strong figures throughout history have investigated Bloodhoof’s cause of death, but to this day no useful information has been uncovered!

Everything was so enigmatic.

Why would Bloodhoof lie?

If not from "Overview of the First World," then where did he get the news about the Barbarian God’s enthronement?

During that era, concerning the First World, only "Overview of the First World" documented it! Besides this book, there couldn’t be another channel to know about the First World; how did Bloodhoof know?
