The Boss Behind The Game

Chapter 3: The First Batch Of Players

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
According to Bei Li, the settings of the character class templates were similar to that of the distribution of soul power absorbed when the player kills a being from the underworld.

For instance, when the player has chosen a character class, say, a berserker, the soul power collected when a being is killed will increase the abilities of a player, mostly by their strength.

Same goes to Wang Damang. The terminator he has chosen mainly focuses on strength and agility.

After picking which character class to go with, the surrounding Yin energy merged to form a dagger and a rough cloth, which appeared magically on Wang Damang’s body.

Although the new combat equipment was nothing fancy, they required no soul power to function. Lu Wu solely relied on the players to kill as many creatures from the underworld as possible to collect soul power.

Lu Wu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat as a message emerged in Wang Damang’s head.

[New Quest: Slaughter the ten-headed Wandering Soul. The reward is 5 soul coins.]

Wang Damang was excited when he received the quest. He was already becoming addicted to this well-made game.

He followed the instructions, opened the map, and saw that he was currently in the [Underworld of Beiqi] which was encircled by the field boundary of the [Ghost Mountains]. However, the land further away was shrouded by a dense fog. Meanwhile, the top right corner showed Exploration in Beiqi 0.01% complete.

Standing tall, he gripped his dagger with a heroic spirit and headed to the outskirts.

As he followed the map, he was also scouting his surroundings. He was still in awe of the game’s simulation, as the graphics were so fine and detailed that it felt almost impossible.

As he explored further down the path, Wang Damang suddenly heard a muffled whimper coming from afar. It sounded cold and eerie, sending chills down his spine.

Although he knew that it was merely a game he was playing, Wang Damang still walked with wobbly legs toward the direction of the sound.

Out of the blue, a white figure appeared right in front of him.

Wang Damang’s presence had also given quite a shock to the Wandering Soul, but with a piercing scream, it pounced toward Wang Damang.

Wang Damang’s heart was hammering against his chest when he saw all of this, but after all, he was just a character in this game. With this thought comforting him, he gripped his dagger tightly and threw himself back at the Wandering Soul as well.

“Pow!” he struck the Wandering Soul with his dagger. At that moment, a ‘-5’ in red appeared on top of the Wandering Soul’s head, showing the amount of damage inflicted, which was unmistakably set up by Bei Li.

The place where the dagger had landed was replaced by a dark colored stab wound.

Since there was no health bar available, Wang Damang had no idea how many more strikes he would need to successfully kill the Wandering Soul. He moved sideways and dodged the Wandering Soul’s attack, then moved to the opposite side and stabbed the Wandering Soul yet again. This time, a value of ‘-6’ emerged.
