Liao Xing very seriously told him: “I have to tell you first, miniaturizing the warp devices is an extremely complicated job. If you want to have it attached to a bracelet as well, that’ll take even more time to accomplish”
“Just do your best” Gu Qing Shan very seriously answered: “The warp device is the most important part of this whole thing, every reward given will require the use of it, so you have to try your best”
“Leave it to me, it’s just doing what I’m used to. But I want you to leave the first debugger and play tester slot to me” Liao Xing looked like he couldn’t wait to try it out.“No problem” Gu Qing Shan answered.
Then he looked at Ye Fei Li.
Ye Fei Li contemplated for a bit, then said: “If this is a System-type game, then there’s a very important thing that you seem to have overlooked”
Both Gu Qing Shan and Liao Xing turned to stare at him.
Being stared at by two people isn’t very comfortable, so Ye Fei Li cleared his throat: “Before the apocalypse, I used to be a half-professional brainwave gamer”
“That’s great, that means your opinion is exceptionally valuable” Gu Qing Shan spoke.
“I feel like a System, or a game like this, one of the most important things you need to pay attention to is the name” Ye Fei Li replied.“The name?” Gu Qing Shan and Liao Xing both didn’t expect to hear that.
“That’s right” Ye Fei Li spoke very seriously, “if the name of a game isn’t interesting, then you lose the important first impression and you won’t gain any players’ interest”
“For example, before the apocalypse came, there used to be a game called Billionaire Simulator Online, while its competitor of the same genre was called Life Business Online”
“So when Billionaire Simulator Online launched its server, the amount of players they had was 5 times that of the other one”
After his explanation, the other three also nodded.
“That sounds about right” Zhang Ying Hao followed up: “If we want to become that damned Game of Eternal’s competitor, we need to at least overpower it by name”
“Then, we’ll think about it together” Gu Qing Shan decided.
Then they all went silent.
“Apocalyptic Chick Protector League?” Liao Xing suggested.
“What a dogshit name” Ye Fei Li scoffed, “female players will definitely hate this name”
“Hm, I think Cold-blooded Hunter System sounds nice” Zhang Ying Hao suggested.
“Also dogshit, that name of yours will probably scare away most players instantly” Ye Fei Li shook his head.
“Then you suggest one” Zhang Ying Hao said in annoyance.
“Ascend-to-god-through-killing: The Game” Ye Fei Li clenched his fist and excitedly suggested.
“Dogshit!”
Both Zhang Ying Hao and Liao Xing said at the same time.
Gu Qing Shan felt his head hurt, so after thinking a bit he spoke: “Let’s just call it the Protector of the Planet”
“That’s a bit to-the-point isn’t it” Zhang Ying Hao was in disagreement.
“To-the-point means that it’s truthful, it represents the fact that anyone can continue to grow stronger nonstop, to finally become the protector of this planet, to fight against the apocalypse” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Then there’s one problem left” Zhang Ying Hao said.
“Isn’t our plan a bit too late?” Zhang Ying Hao asked, “look, the Game of Eternal’s first round is about to be over”
Right at this moment, the old voice was suddenly heard in everyone’s mind again.
『 Bystanders, the first round of the Game of Eternal had concluded 』
Everyone immediately closed their eyes to watch the Game of the Eternal.
In the arena littered with corpses, a single person was barely standing.
It was the white-haired old man.
One of his arms was cut off, blinded in one eye, there’s even a dagger still in his back.
Blood was flowing out in streams from his back, dripping to the ground.
Just a bit longer and he would’ve died from blood loss.
But at this very moment, he’s the only person still alive in this arena.
The voice praised him: 『 Our champion has been born, for the sake of our champion’s dignity, let us heal all of his wounds! 』
A black coffin rose from the ground of the arena.
『 Please enter the coffin, your wounds will very quickly be healed 』 the old voice said.
Although the Professionist was a bit hesitant, he still staggered and dropped himself into the coffin.
Because he didn’t have much of a choice anymore.
Then the coffin closed and slowly rotated.
『 Between life and death, only the strong shall receive the ultimate glory 』 the old voice chanted, almost singing.
After the coffin did a full rotation, it opened again.
The Professionist jumped out.
He was surprised as he lifted his arms, seeing not a single wound on his fingers or his newly regenerated arm.
The wound on his back was also gone, and even his clothes had been replaced anew.
As he stood there, you could almost feel the life force emitting from him.
『 Our King, Ou Yang Fei Yu, you’ve killed a total of 6738 competitors, receiving this round’s reward from the Game of Eternal! 』
A treasure chest descended from the sky.
Ye Fei Li kept his eyes closed, but suddenly spoke: “Just look at that, this reward’s method of delivery looks much more enticing than instant warp”
“Because it’s only giving reward to a single person, we’re rewarding the entirety of humanity here. Not to mention, looking enticing or not, it’s just a few illusions” Liao Xing protested.
“But it really does look too majestic, the entire world can see it from just closing their eyes” Zhang Ying Hao commented.
“I’ll make sure that everyone opens their eyes can see our game” Gu Qing Shan muttered.
In the arena, the old voice said: “Please touch the treasure chest to obtain your reward, Ou Yang Fei Yu”
The Professionist extended his hand and carefully touched the treasure chest.
A bright shower of light emits from the chest as it opens.
When the lights faded, a crimson red staff that looked about half a person tall was floating in the air.
The staff held a strange allure and made everyone who laid eyes on it unable to take their eyes off.
On the top of the staff, a strange demonic skull was carved opening its mouth.
And next to the staff silently floated a black pill.
The old voice once again:
『 Congratulations Ou Yang Fei Yu, you’ve received an Eternal Pill and the Black Flame Demon King staff 』
『 The Eternal Pill shall grant you the glorious eternal life after you eat it 』
『 As for the staff 』the old voice continued: 『 This was the Black Flame Demon King’s personal staff, representing the ultimate authority in the Black Flame world 』
『 For Professionists that awaken a Fire Elemental root, having the Black Flame Demon King staff with you shall grant you the Demon King’s power, all your Fire-type attacks shall become 200% stronger!!! 』
Ou Yang Fei Yu looked visibly shocked.
And he was a Fire Elemental Professionist.
But he didn’t even glance at the staff, only staring at the black Eternal Pill.
“I can really have eternal life?” He asked in doubt.
『 That is correct, eat it and you shall receive eternal life span! 』 the old voice became solemn.
Ou Yang Fei Yu gritted his teeth, and swallowed the pill whole.
Right at this moment, every single person on the planet stopped whatever they were doing, held their breaths and stared at him.
“I feel…” he muttered.
But before he could finish, right in front of everyone, his white hair quickly regained a black luster.
The wrinkles on his was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His body seems to have become slightly bulkier.
Being that it was a slight change, normal people don’t notice it, but other Professionists opened their eyes wide.
Because the bulk was due to his bones length and strength returning to their primes.
In just a few breaths Ou Yang Fei Yu turned from a withering old man back to a handsome young man full of life.
A mirror very conveniently manifested before him.
As Ou Yang Fei Yu looked into the mirror, he then touched his face with his hands, then suddenly burst into laughter.
“Ahahahaha, so it’s really true, I’ve done it! I’ve really don’t it! I have gained eternal life!”
After his outburst, he began dancing for joy around the arena.
But no one ridiculed him.
Everyone could very clearly feel the extreme joy he was feeling.
Before the attainment of eternal life, no crazy outburst would be enough.
No matter how strange, no matter how bloody the game was, at this very moment, thanks to Ou Yang Fei Yu’s change, all the unnecessary questions stopped.
The world was heading towards the apocalypse, humans had to face not only the fierce and large sea creatures, but also the mutated Man Eater Fiends and Man Killer Fiends, facing a dire situation like never before.
Right at their moment of despair, a chance for eternal life appeared.
At this moment, the fire was lit in everyone’s mind.
Eternal life!
It’s true eternal life!
Countless powerful Professionists were regretting it.
Damn it, why didn’t I choose [Yes]!
If I was there, with my strength, I would’ve been able to beat this Ou Yang Fei Yu easily.
The right of eternal life would’ve been mine!
Countless people in the world were in an uproar.
After cheering for a while, Ou Yang Fei Yu finally remembered he still had another reward.
He stepped forward and held the crimson red staff in hand.
After a bit of hesitation, Ou Yang Fei Yu swung his hand to use a Fire attack.
This was the simplest Fireball, unleashing a fireball about the size of a bowl to attack the enemy.
Any Fire Elementalist can use this simple attack.
But before Ou Yang Fei Yu, a huge fireball the size of a person appeared and flew forward.
All the corpses on the way was charred black by the fireball.
As the fireball kept flying, it hit the spectator area, exploded and made a large hole.
Every single Professionist who witnessed this around the world all went silent.
“Ahahaha, such power!”
Seeing how powerful it was, Ou Yang Fei Yu happily exclaimed.
The old voice then said: 『 Your rewards has been received, Ou Yang Fei Yu shall return to reality soon, everyone please give your applause for this great hero! 』
As soon as that was said, Ou Yang Fei Yu disappeared from the stage.
The only thing left on the giant arena was a few thousand corpses littered everywhere.
『 The next Game of Eternal shall begin at the same time tomorrow 』
『 Do you wish to gain eternal life? Then sign up, as we always welcome more challengers 』
『 Let us meet again, tomorrow 』
As the old voice finished, the entire arena became dark, the images from the arena disappeared from everyone’s sight.
After the humans has stopped watching.
On the silent arena.
A chilling bone-crunching sound was heard.
As well as numerous stifled sounds of cursing and crying, as if the silent arena before was suddenly turned into a busy street.
But as the bone-crunching sound went on, all the other sounds eventually became silent and died out, unheard of anymore.
