Chapter 186: Chapter 135: Easter Egg Appears (Added Chapter 4 for Boss Qiu)_2

As sadness gripped him, the Joker covered his eyes and couldn’t help but cry out.

Even though it was known that he was a man dressed as a woman, his movements were as gentle as a breeze caressing willow branches, embodying a myriad of charms, stirring the hearts of those with insufficient resolve.

“Stop crying,” Zhao Qin said with a yawn, “you’re just a Joker, it’s not the end of the world.”

“But…”

“If you don’t want to, use this thing.”

The First Under Heaven Joker looked up and saw something flying towards him, hitting him right on the forehead.

With an “Ouch”, he picked up the thing and found it to be a small shard, much like broken glass.

“The Great Way has fifty, and fifty is the extreme number of the Heavenly Tao; therefore, the skills we can control can only reach up to fifty at max. However, those players have various means to know how different skills interconnect and enhance one another, thus exhibiting effects that exceed level fifty.”

“Then this shard…”

“It will let you surpass level fifty.”

Taking a breath, Zhao Qin continued, “This thing’s a bit dangerous. We’ve tested it on sea beasts, and their size instantaneously broke through their limitations, indicating that this thing indeed has the effect of breaking limitations. We modified it slightly, so it can clear our own restrictions, allowing us to break through fifty.”

“And if it fails?” the Joker asked fearfully, “Will we die?”

“Hehe, die? By that time, death may seem like a relief. Pray that you can die easily,” Zhao Qin said.

Looking at the shard in his hands, the Joker became even more frightened.

Staring at Zhao Qin above, he gulped and then asked, “Then, how do you know this thing works?”

“Of course I’ve used it myself.”

Peeling back his clothes, Zhao Qin exposed his body, showing everyone the shard flickering on his chest.

After redressing, Zhao Qin said, “I was lucky, succeeded straight away, but those three we tested… never mind, better not to mention it. One of my skills has broken through its limit, and now I possess that power which transcends the secular world, and even Xuanjizi might envy my power.”

“Impossible!” Xuanjizi suddenly regained his composure and shouted at Zhao Qin, “You haven’t seen that person, you’ll never understand how terrifying that person is!”

Facing Xuanjizi’s doubt, Zhao Qin just reclined on the Dragon Throne and pointed outside, saying, “Let there be thunder.”

A clap of thunder sounded, and the clear sky was instantly filled with dark clouds, as if the whole world obeyed Zhao Qin’s command, serving to fulfill his wish.

“See? This is the power of language. Once you surpass level fifty, you’ll wield the power where words manifest reality, and no one can stop me in this world.”

“If you’re so powerful now, why would you still help us?” the First Under Heaven Joker asked, puzzled.

“If you are gone, then the Aliens will only target me. I know what’s more important,” Zhao Qin explained.

After hearing Zhao Qin’s explanation, the Joker looked at the shard in his hand, then suddenly closed his eyes and swallowed the shard in one gulp.

If you don’t become mad, you won’t survive.

Let’s go for it!

Once the shard was ingested, searing pain surged through him, making him curl up like a shrimp, with his body temperature rising like flames.

It was thought that he had failed, but a few minutes later, the Joker struggled to rise, wiping away the drool from his mouth, revealing a madman’s grin.

Staring blankly ahead, he suddenly shouted, “My king~”

With that coquettish cry, he turned around, transformed into a beautiful lady full of amorous looks yet tinged with sorrow, melting the hearts of all who saw her.

But then, in a gruff voice, he shouted, “Yu Ji!”

The beautiful lady from a moment ago instantly became a heavily armored warrior, with neither voice nor appearance bearing any resemblance, yet it was indeed the same person.

“Endless transformations, what a trick. Who else wants it?”

With the first precedent set, there was a second, and a third.

However, the success rate of this chip isn’t high; only one or two out of ten succeed.

The failures, either die from their bodies exploding or they turn into peculiar monsters, and in the end, very few survive and break through their limits.

The young emperor on the Dragon Throne struggled to get away, but Zhao Qin had already caught him. With a strong heart, she pried open the emperor’s eyelids with her withered hands and said to the young emperor, “Look! These are the ones who are First Under Heaven, they are human too, and they thirst for greater power. They spew curses at me whenever they see me, but now they’re groveling at my feet like dogs.”

“Why are you making me watch this!” the young emperor yelled with a sob, “I’m only five years old!”

“You were previously the heir apparent, the most suitable person to be emperor. So…”

With eyes wide open, Zhao Qin leaned in close to the young emperor’s ear and whispered, “Don’t you think that ruining someone like you feels especially fulfilling?”

“Madman!”

“Hehehe, thanks for your generous praise, Your Majesty. Now, just follow me and see what this world will turn into. Hahaha!”

Amidst Zhao Qin’s arrogant laughter, the number of those who were First Under Heaven in the room swiftly began to dwindle; some of the Spiritual Energy they lost was absorbed into the new NPC First Under Heaven, and some also enhanced the others, rapidly increasing their Spirituality.

By the time nearly all the First Under Heaven had used the chips, the vast Golden Throne had completely changed.

Blood was everywhere, the ground was covered with splattered bloodstains, and strange monsters could be seen all over, emitting odd cries of anguish.

And those who survived, without exception, had all broken through their limits and reached another stage.

A new phase was about to unfold, and a new game environment was on the horizon.

The first thing players noticed was that some of the challenge targets had changed.

The replacements were once the second best, who had attained their own success due to the death of the former First Under Heaven; naturally, their strength couldn’t compare to the seasoned predecessors.

Seizing this temporal advantage, the major guilds decisively struck, and the rate of title acquisition immediately doubled, with a new First Under Heaven emerging almost daily, sending the game’s popularity skyrocketing.

But then, some players discovered that the difficulty of achieving this title had increased.

Some players were nearly completing the achievement of becoming the First Under Heaven blacksmith, but the title holder returned after a short absence, suddenly displaying immense strength, as blowing the bellows with his bare hands was no trouble at all.

And the items forged by this individual, even if just a kitchen knife, became exceedingly sharp, alerting these players that something was amiss.

Ascending military ranks became more difficult. Players aiming for the title of the First Under Heaven soldier initially found it manageable, but as time passed, their own ranking seemed to continually decline.

Furthermore, when someone invaded the border, the military camp’s leader would rush to the forefront, charging towards the enemy.

His movements were like a swift wind, and before others could react, the Squad Leader, carrying a long spear, rushed ahead of the enemy cavalry, then with a shake of his spear, he toppled one adversary after another.

The leader’s actions no longer seemed human; his killing techniques were mastered to the point of becoming art.

Apart from them, the remaining First Under Heaven also seemed to have become tougher challenges.

Some simple ones had already been completed, but some of the difficult ones seemed impossible to conquer, as the strength of the target figures appeared to surge overnight, also making the players feel…

Even more excited!

It was common for Fang Cheng Studio’s games to hide Easter eggs and then suddenly change the game type, so everyone was anticipating the announcement of the Easter egg’s discovery, but it hadn’t happened yet.

However, the changes in the game environment made them feel that the appearance of the Easter egg was imminent. As long as some lucky person stepped forward and found it, they could play two games for the price of one.

Fang Cheng felt speechless seeing players actually getting excited discussing the sudden increase in difficulty and the rumors about the Easter egg.

This game, truly had no Easter eggs.

Rather than wasting time thinking about how to trigger the Easter egg, it’s better to figure out how to defeat those guys.

Just as Fang Cheng thought the players were being impractical, a bombshell piece of news appeared in the chat group.

The Easter egg, it had been found!

Fang Cheng, was left speechless!
