Online Games: Billions Spent on In-app Purchases, Archery Becomes a God

Arrival in the main city! Extreme frenzy! Mad’s resentment!”Stop!”

At the critical moment, Ye Xingyu shouted:

”Village Chief, please look at this first!”

While the guards were stunned, Ye Xingyu had already handed a tattered blood-stained letter to the Novice Village Chief.

That’s right.

It was the blood-stained letter that Ma De’s son, Ma Mei, had personally written to his father...

Not long after, the Village Chief quickly scanned it.

He frowned and said, ”This is... the letter that Ma De’s scoundrel son secretly wrote to him!?”

”That’s right! Ma Mei secretly conspired with his father, wanting to replace your position in the village! He even threatened and bribed me, wanting me to work for him! I refused, which is why I fought Ma De!”

”Village Chief, I am a good citizen, you must see the truth!”

Ye Xingyu seized the opportunity to explain himself.

The Village Chief looked up at Ye Xingyu.

Soon, his brows relaxed:

”Indeed, that scoundrel Ma Mei did instigate his father for revenge in the letter, it’s utterly ridiculous!”

”That brat committed a crime and was driven out of the village, yet he still dares to plot usurpation!”

”Falling Nine Heavens, you killed well! Killed well!”

”These father and son are not worth pitying for their deaths!”

The Village Chief loudly praised Ye Xingyu a few times.

Subsequently, the misunderstanding between the two parties was resolved.

The Village Chief led the villagers and guards away.

The matter ended there.

Ye Xingyu cleared his name.

”Huh?”

Many confused players in the surroundings witnessed the development of the situation, each one utterly bewildered.

Before everyone could fully react, Ye Xingyu scurried into the teleportation array of the Novice Village.

”Bye-bye now!”

He waved with a smile.

Amidst the stunned expressions of a group of players, the teleportation array flashed with light.

He chose to teleport to ”Chunming City.”

”Swish!”

He instantly vanished from the Novice Village.

Since Ye Xingyu’s level had already reached 10, he could use the teleportation array in the Novice Village to go to an outside main city at any time.

”Ding! Welcome to ”Chunming City”! Experience +100!”

With a flash of light, Ye Xingyu’s figure appeared in a brand new, large city.

The colossal city stretched as far as the eye could see.

The main roads were wide and dragon-like, extending in all directions.

Above, the sky was clear and bright.

Blue skies and white clouds, boundless.

A gentle breeze wafted through the air.

The sunlight was warm and pleasant.

Tall and magnificent buildings of various kinds were visible everywhere in the city, densely packed and numerous.

A scene of prosperity.

This was Chunming, one of the first 10 secondary main cities opened in Deep Space!

Chunming City’s greatest feature was its perpetual spring-like weather and bright sunshine, with almost no harsh weather.

Surrounded by mountains, plains, lakes, forests, grasslands... various terrains.

Monsters, materials, and mineral resources were abundant.

In his previous life, for over seven years, Chunming City had always been the secondary main city with the largest population and highest prosperity—a hub for players.

In the wilderness, even more vast wealth resources were hidden.

For future development, Ye Xingyu first chose ”Chunming City.”

Upon arriving at the main city, he first took out a blue book and a dark ancient ring.

These were the other two pieces of equipment dropped by the previous Ma De.

After Ma De’s death, his dying resentment had corroded the bronze jade he had given to Ye Xingyu.

The bronze jade instantly turned black and deteriorated, changing from its original jade-green color to its current dark and ancient appearance.

The incident had happened so suddenly that Ye Xingyu hadn’t had time to inspect all the loot.

He had been surrounded and disturbed by a large number of players.

Only now did he have time to check these two pieces of loot:

”Fervor”

Item Type: Skill Book

Lasts 5 seconds (Beginner)

Skill Cost: 150 Mana Points

Skill Cooldown: 60s

Level Requirement: Level 10 or above.

Available Professions: All professions...

The skill ”Fervor” was actually an extremely rare skill book usable by all professions!

It was very suitable for professions that require attack speed and movement speed, such as Assassins, Swordsmen, and Archers.

He had witnessed the power of this skill on Ma De before.

To say that Ye Xingyu wasn’t envious at all—that would be impossible.

He hadn’t expected his luck to be so good this time!

The drop rate for skill books in Deep Space was among the lowest.

Yet, it had dropped for him!

His luck was too good!

”Ding! You can spend 10,000 gold coins to upgrade the quality of ”Fervor” to silver grade. Do you wish to proceed?”

Oh!

Even skill books could be upgraded in quality using the Golden Dream talent?

The quality classification of skill books in Deep Space was similar to equipment, also having terms like bronze, silver grade, gold, dark gold, purple gold, epic, and so on.

”Does this even need asking? Decisively choose to upgrade!”

Skills are something that follow a person for a lifetime.

They are less likely to become obsolete than equipment.

Must upgrade!

”Ding! 10,000 gold coins consumed for successful upgrade! The skill ”Fervor” has been promoted to ”Limit Frenzy”!”

”Limit Frenzy!”

Item Type: Skill Book

Grade: silver grade

Description: Greatly increases one’s attack speed and movement speed! Simultaneously reduces all of one’s physical and magical defense!

Detailed Effects:

Attack Speed increased by 60% (Beginner)

Movement Speed increased by 30% (Beginner)

Physical and Magical Defense reduced by 100%!

Lasts 5 seconds (Beginner)

Skill Cost: 250 Mana Points

Skill Cooldown: 60s

Level Requirement: Level 10 or above.

Available Professions: All professions.

”Hahahaha...”

Ye Xingyu couldn’t help but laugh!

The increase in attack speed and movement speed had doubled compared to before!

And it would increase even more significantly as the skill level improved!

As expected of an SSS-grade talent.

The effects were simply amazing!

Ye Xingyu didn’t hesitate to reach out and tap the title page of the skill book.

”Limit Frenzy” instantly transformed into a dazzling silver light and entered his body.

”System Notification: You have mastered ’Limit Frenzy.’”

There was also one last black ancient ring:

”Ma De’s Cursed Ring!”

Grade: bronze

Level Requirement: 10

Attributes:

Maximum HP reduced by 1000!

Agility -2

Additional Effect:

When the wearer enters combat, they lose 10 HP per second, and the damage from the wearer’s normal attacks increases by 10%!

...Oh my goodness!

As expected of equipment thoroughly cursed by Ma De’s dying resentment.

Wearing it actually produced negative effects!

It greatly reduced the wearer’s maximum HP.

At the same time, it would continuously reduce the wearer’s HP during combat.

Under normal circumstances, no one would use this bronze equipment.

Because it would greatly reduce a player’s survival capability.

”Ding! You can spend 10,000 gold coins to upgrade Ma De’s Cursed Ring to silver grade.”

Ye Xingyu decisively chose -> Upgrade!

”Ding!”

”ma des grudge!”

Grade: silver grade

Level Requirement: 10

Attributes:

Maximum HP reduced by 0!

Agility -0

Additional Effect:

When the wearer enters combat, they lose 30 HP per second, and the damage from the wearer’s normal attacks increases by 30%!

...”Wow! The normal attack damage of this ring instantly went from 10% to 30%!”

”It suddenly looks very appealing!”

Because for an Archer, the proportion of normal attack damage in the entire combat process is over 50%.

One ring can increase a player’s total damage by 20% to 30%.

For a single piece of equipment, this is already an extremely excellent level.

Although it significantly increases the HP loss by 3 times per second in combat, given Ye Xingyu’s current equipment quality, it is still very worthwhile.

He unhesitatingly put on ”ma des grudge.”

This significantly boosted Ye Xingyu’s strength!

Next, Ye Xingyu rented a fast carriage at a roadside stable.

The sound of hooves clattered, and he headed straight for the Job Change Hall!
