"The event has ended. I never expected the final mode to shift from siege to an arena," Wang Linchi said, stretching his stiff muscles. During the last five days of the event, no new monsters spawned, and they couldn't defeat the existing ones anywhere else. It had all been up to Wang Linchi and Ye Tian.

Then, the mode was reset, turning Wang Linchi and Ye Tian into laborers... well, mostly just Ye Tian did the laboring. Wang Linchi had been AFK the entire time, learning all sorts of modern knowledge.

The education and knowledge in the Soul Aspect World were countless times behind this world.

Awakeners might be more combat-capable than ordinary people, but that was their only advantage; everything else was a disadvantage.

"It's normal. How else could we deal with so many Abyssal Demons with such limited time? We definitely had to gather them together," Ye Tian commented.

In the last five days, many players had participated, most forced to join by daily tasks. An individual might not have been able to defeat the monsters, but as a team, they could complete the task after a few deaths and some gritted teeth.

The Game System wouldn't assign impossible tasks. For these players, the forced daily tasks weren't about killing; most just needed to inflict a certain amount of damage on these Demonized Creatures to be considered complete.

As for the Abyssal Demons, forget it; they weren't something players could handle at that stage. Perhaps only Hand of God and Green Plum Brews Wine, who had initially entered Wanxuan City with Wang Linchi and Ye Tian, could have defeated an Abyssal Demon by teaming up.

In the arena mode, all Abyssal Demons were eventually cleared out. As for the Demonized Creatures, it was hopeless—although their numbers had diminished earlier, there were still too many.

But it didn't matter. As long as the Abyssal Demons were dead, the Game System could easily handle the remaining Demonized Creatures.

Simply by using The Power of Order, they were all annihilated.

Afterwards, everyone was kicked out of the arena. Many players were crying out in despair because they hadn't completed their daily tasks when the event suddenly ended, and it seemed they wouldn't be able to avoid the upcoming punishment.

Wang Linchi naturally felt no pity for them. This was about saving their own world, yet they were unwilling to put in the effort. As an outsider, he had no reason to show pity or sympathy.

"Have any free time recently?" Ye Tian asked.

"No free time. I'm going to run Abyss Difficulty dungeons. How about you?" Wang Linchi asked in turn.

Since the event had ended, he planned to proceed to level 70 dungeons. He was currently still level 63. The Experience he needed to level up now was overwhelming, and the Experience from the event was really just a drop in the bucket.

"I'm planning to handle something." A chilling glint flashed in Ye Tian's eyes.

What he was about to handle were, obviously, traitors. However, not the previous traitors; those had already been executed by the Game System. To warn others, their execution had been publicly announced, causing quite a stir.

Why else would players diligently do their dailies? Naturally, it was because the Game System truly dared to kill people.

The traitors Ye Tian intended to kill were those already secretly colluding but hadn't yet caused substantial damage. However, waiting until they caused damage before dealing with them would only lead to losses for their side.

As a Reincarnator, he naturally had a list of names.

Need evidence? Worried it's against human rights to kill them before they cause harm? Ye Tian didn't care about such things. Those were considerations for law and morality. He was focused on how to kill the traitors while minimizing losses.

If they waited until the traitors caused trouble before taking action and invoking justice or procedure, then who would speak of justice and procedure for those who died due to the traitors' destruction?

"The Fate Devil God issue? Isn't that tricky to handle?" Wang Linchi could never have guessed that Ye Tian was going to kill people; he was utterly clueless about it, so he could only think of this matter.

"That's not urgent. I'll deal with it after I collect all the inheritances," Ye Tian denied, not revealing his plans. He then added, "I'll need some time for this, probably a month."

"So, will you fall behind?" Wang Linchi asked.

"No, it counts as an extra task." Ye Tian glanced at his task list. He had communicated with the Game System through the feedback interface and had already received the corresponding task.

As long as he killed people infused with the Power of Chaos, he could gain percentage-based Experience Value. Yes, reaching one hundred percent meant he could level up, unlike normal methods that yielded numerical Experience.

"Alright then, see you later." Wang Linchi didn't dwell on it. They were friends, but they wouldn't proactively pry into each other's affairs.

Ye Tian nodded and immediately logged out.

Wang Linchi, carrying a huge amount of Abyss Crystals, headed to the exchange point in the City of Simplicity.

This time, I should be able to max out my wings and mount, and also...

After some calculations, he realized he could max out seven more of these Levelling Points. For instance, a player's Root Bone could have Bone's Points, Spiritual Power could have a Source of Spirit Power, and Comprehension could have a Tree of Enlightenment. All these required a massive investment of resources to upgrade. These were new Levelling Points, unlocked only as one's level increased, primarily contributing to a numbers game.

As for pets, he certainly didn't have enough resources. Mainly because exchanging for a top-tier pet would cost one hundred million Abyss Crystals. Unless he slaughtered another Abyss Offspring, he could forget about it.

Moreover, exchanging was just the beginning. Then he would have to acquire Skill Books, craft pet equipment, improve pet aptitude, and so on. The amount of money burned in the process was even more horrifying.

However, there were also benefits. When a pet's set was complete, it would be even stronger than the player.

So Wang Linchi decided to aim for it next time.

His helper AI activated, handling automated exchanges and upgrades. Wang Linchi then checked the large number of equipment fragments and skill fragments he possessed.

The most valuable among them were likely the top-tier selectable equipment fragments and top-tier selectable skill fragments acquired from the emergency event in Wanxuan City. The rewards from killing Abyssal Demon Bosses had more restrictions because they weren't selectable.

He wasn't concerned about the skills for now; Wang Linchi first focused on the top-tier selectable equipment.

He set the equipment level requirement to 1,000, chose conditions like fully strengthened and fully enchanted, among other things, and specified the Scholar Profession.

Surprisingly, there were quite a few options, densely packed.

Wang Linchi then filtered out those with additional conditions, leaving only those with just the level requirement.

There weren't many pieces of equipment left after that.

He then changed the filter to set combinations. CLACK. Only two sets remained.

[Level 1,000 Scholar Profession Set · Overwhelming Righteousness. Exchange Requirement: Selectable Equipment Fragments ×100]

[Level 1,000 Scholar Profession Set · Gentleman's Friendship. Exchange Requirement: Selectable Equipment Fragments ×100]

Wang Linchi took a glance and finally chose the first set. In reality, either one was fine; it didn't much matter to him. After all, there would be chances to acquire more in the future.

After the exchange, he immediately equipped it. A cool special effect burst forth, which Wang Linchi promptly disabled.

These effects resulted from full strengthening and full refinement. After all, in a browser game, the flashier, the better.

The Overwhelming Righteousness set consisted of a large number of pieces, seventy-two in total. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Linchi only needed to click to equip them, he wouldn't have known how he could wear so many items.

As for the set effect, it was even more impressive. It had a total of one hundred and eight set effects, and Wang Linchi didn't even understand where the extra thirty-six came from.

All he could say was that this truly was a level one thousand set. As long as the browser game's enhancement effects were turned off, he looked like a gentleman with warm and gentle manners at first glance. Provided Wang Linchi didn't speak or cause trouble, people would get a good first impression.

Indeed, clothes make the man, and the saddle makes the horse. Dressed like this, I look rather... roguish... no, like a beast in finery... I mean, a well-dressed gentleman. Wang Linchi felt he'd done too many misdeeds. Combined with his keen self-awareness, he easily leaned towards seeing himself as a villain, which skewed his self-assessment towards derogatory terms.

"I'll put the rest of the level 10 set equipment fragments on the auction house to exchange for Abyss Crystals."

This stuff was useless to him, but it was very useful for other players. As long as they exchanged one hundred fragments, they could get a full set of top-tier, level 10, fully upgraded and fully refined equipment, which was much stronger than what they currently wore.

After dealing with that, he converted all skill fragments, regardless of tier, into Passive Skills. Top-tier fragments were exchanged individually, while non-top-tier ones were exchanged five at a time. The skills obtained were fully leveled passives, saving him the trouble of using Abyss Crystals to upgrade them and max out their Proficiency.

Actually, the net result wasn't much different; one improved attributes, and the other improved skills.

The feeling of this numbers game isn't bad... Wang Linchi was sure that he and Ye Tian weren't the only ones who had improved this time. Hand of God and Green Plum Brews Wine should also have made considerable progress. After all, the entire fifth legion had been wiped out, and only the four of them received rewards from the emergency recruitment mission.
