Chapter 6

Chapter 6

At this very moment, in the chat channel of Beginner's Village 688, someone hesitantly remarked:

“Brothers, I just noticed something huge. When I was checking the level rankings earlier, I saw a player named Qin Han. Could he be the one who obtained the Unique Treasure?”

“Ah… this… isn’t this joke a bit too much? The Myriad Realms are vast, with countless beginner villages and players beyond number. To appear in a world-wide announcement—this Unique Treasure must be something godly. And it just so happens to land in the hands of a player from our beginner village? I feel like I’m dreaming.”

“Bro, you’re delusional. Just because the names match doesn’t mean it’s him. Think about how big the universe is—the number of people named Qin Han could probably circle Blue Star a hundred million times. Do you really think our village has that kind of luck?”

“That makes sense. We’ve never even won the lottery in our lives, let alone something with odds thousands of times harder than hitting the jackpot. This seems way too unlikely.”

“Whether it’s him or not, why not just send him a private message and ask?”

“Good point, bro! Let’s all do it!”

The next moment, countless private messages flooded Qin Han’s inbox like snowflakes.

However, as expected, none of these messages received a reply.

“Brothers, what now? No one’s getting a response.”

“I think the fact that he’s not replying means he’s hiding something. He doesn’t want us to know. It must be him!”

“Not necessarily. I really doubt it’s him.”

“Agreed. If he were really some big shot, how could he still be at Level 0? That doesn’t make sense.”

“Exactly. What could a Level 0 player possibly achieve?”

At this point, the vast majority of players in the village concluded that such good fortune couldn’t possibly land in their humble beginner village.

Meanwhile, a new announcement caught everyone’s attention.

“Congratulations to player Liu Kuang from this village for being the first to reach Level 2! Reward: Constitution +1.”

In the chat channel, the focus of discussion instantly shifted.

“Holy crap! I haven’t even hit Level 1 yet, and Liu Kuang’s already at Level 2?”

“Seriously, his leveling speed is insane!”

“Sigh, being the first to level up gives him Constitution +1. By the time he hits Level 10, he’ll have an extra level’s worth of attributes compared to us. The strong get stronger! He’ll explore further, and the gap between us will only widen.”

“Yeah, I predicted at noon that Liu Kuang would dominate this beginner village in the future. Looks like that prophecy’s coming true—and sooner than expected!”

“Fate is fickle, and men are powerless against it. I just hit Level 1 and was thinking of catching up to Liu Kuang, but seeing him hit Level 2 and get the reward just demoralized me. Forget it—this guy’s not worth chasing!”

“Back in the day, Liu Bang, a ruffian from Pei County, became an emperor. Then Liu Xiu, a farmer from Nanyang, restored the Han dynasty. Later, Liu Bei, a mere mat-weaver and sandal-seller, carved out one-third of the realm. And now, Liu Kuang, a butcher of pigs and cattle—his future is limitless!”

“Who would’ve thought that since the Han dynasty, the Liu family’s dragon vein has never been severed? Their rise is upon us once more!”

Liu Kuang lurked in the chat, his heart burning with excitement.

He couldn’t help but ask himself, Am I really that amazing?

But seeing how seriously everyone was talking, it almost seemed true!

Had he underestimated his own strength all this time?

Perhaps his next goal should be set on the Unique Treasure.

Fired up, Liu Kuang pressed deeper into the Wild Bull Grassland.

The experience required to go from Level 2 to Level 3 increased exponentially.

He could already feel the difficulty of leveling up, but the deeper he went, the more Wild Bulls there were. If he pushed harder, he might reach Level 3 today and even earn some extra attribute rewards. Filled with determination, he felt as if a bright future was waving at him! After a lifetime of slaughtering cattle, his days of hardship were finally coming to an end!

There was a saying that even a pig could fly if it stood in the right wind. Liu Kuang hadn’t believed it before, but now he did. Why else could Zhang Fei, a butcher of pigs and cattle, become a great general? Why else could Zhu Yuanzhang, a beggar, achieve imperial greatness? Wasn’t it all because of fate? And now, fate was on Liu Kuang’s side!

...

In the archery training ground, Qin Han glanced at the world announcement and immediately hid his name above his head. His face was full of exasperation. The Game of Eternal Life encouraged conflict, broadcasting players who obtained important treasures to stir up competition.

Though he was still weak, and the Beginner Protection Mechanism meant he wouldn’t encounter overly powerful opponents for now, as a veteran player, he despised having everything exposed to others. After all, more mystery meant more hidden cards—and more safety.

Fortunately, the announcement only displayed his name, not his specific Beginner's Village or the attributes of his treasure. Besides, in the Myriad Realms, the name "Qin Han" was as common as fish in a river. As long as he didn’t admit it, no one would fixate on him for the time being.

While no one was paying attention, he had to rise quickly—at least to the point of self-preservation. And with his name hidden, most people wouldn’t easily identify him. That would save him a lot of trouble for now.

Steadying his mind, Qin Han turned his attention to the 11 Heavenly Dao Points. A cautious smile crept onto his face. As a veteran, he knew better than anyone that Heavenly Dao Points were among the rarest and most valuable things in the game—even a key factor in the Final Battlefield.

The benefits of Heavenly Dao Points were endless. Just one example: with enough of them, one could directly exchange for a Supreme God’s Divine Spark, instantly becoming one of the most powerful beings in the universe!

In his past life, he had gone through countless hardships just to obtain a single Heavenly Dao Point. Yet now, reborn, he had gained 11 at once! The sheer joy of it invigorated him!!!

With excitement surging through him, he turned his gaze to the Top-tier Archer Profession Token.

Top-tier Archer Profession Token:

- Growth Value: 5x

- Profession Aura:

- Bow-type damage increased by 70%.

- Speed increased by 70%.

- Attack speed increased by 70%.

- Arrow sharpness increased by 70%.

Four passives and one Growth Value multiplier—in the Game of Eternal Life, items that boosted attributes by percentage were exceedingly rare. This thing not only massively enhanced stats but also didn’t take up equipment slots. Its usefulness spanned early, mid, and late game.

In the game:

- Basic Profession Token: 1.5x Growth Value

- Intermediate: 2x

- Advanced: 3x

- Top-tier: 5x

In other words, with a Top-tier Profession Token, leveling up once was equivalent to an ordinary player leveling up five times.

As the game progresses, leveling up becomes increasingly difficult, and the value of profession tokens can grow infinitely.

What does this mean?

When ordinary players reach the peak of the Beginner's Village at Level 20, they gain 200 Constitution points!

But players with a top-tier profession gain 1,000 Constitution points at Level 20!

A fivefold gap, combined with the passive effects of the Profession Aura, is like a special forces soldier fighting kindergarteners—utterly crushing them whether it's one-on-one, one against ten, or even one against fifty.

For ordinary players from Low Martial Worlds, their initial stats might only be around 10 to 20 points. Such a gap is insurmountable for ordinary Blue Planet natives.

But for top-tier profession players, it's nothing more than a drizzle—surpassing them with just a single level-up.

Even for ordinary players from Apex Races, a top-tier profession player only needs to reach around Level 100 to catch up.

Add in the profession's passive effects, and crushing them becomes effortless.

Most importantly, many dungeons and secret realms in the game also reward attributes like Constitution.

And personal dungeons dynamically scale in difficulty based on the player's strength—

the higher your Constitution, the harder the dungeon.

This puts everyone on the same starting line.

Profession players have their Profession Aura, so at the same difficulty level, they effectively wear an extra set of powerful gear, allowing them to progress much further than those without a profession.

The rewards they obtain will also be far richer.

Over time, this further narrows the Constitution gap with Apex Races.

To put it bluntly, don’t be intimidated by the Apex Races' initial 5,000 Constitution points—

it’s just a facade.

In the late game, any top-tier profession player can effortlessly crush those Apex Race players without a profession.

However, when you broaden your perspective to the Myriad Realms, top-tier profession tokens become insignificant.

The total number of top-tier profession tokens in the entire game likely exceeds 100 million.

As weaker players are eliminated in the late stages, the battlefield will eventually be filled with nothing but top-tier profession players.

At that point, "top-tier" becomes the new ordinary.

Choosing a profession now would only mean retreading the same path as the previous generation.

Moreover, the combat prowess of those from Apex Races far surpasses that of ordinary world inhabitants.

If they obtain top-tier profession tokens, the combination of their innate strength and profession bonuses would be terrifying.

What he aims for is to surpass everyone across the Myriad Realms.

With just this level of foundation, it’s far from enough!
