WTYTIAAN Chapter 51

Chapter 51

Yan Yunqing beat the little lovebirds until their faces turned green. After the couple kissed and healed themselves for the third time, Yan Yunqing finally controlled his damage and successfully K.O.’d them together.

This mechanism could only be described as dealing average damage, but it was extremely insulting.

Yan Yunqing, who was determined to be loyal to his career, was inevitably fed a bellyful of dog food, making him want to bark like a dog.

Karenna, having her health bar emptied, dropped her magic staff and slowly knelt down, Henry staying by her side.

“Henry… did we fail?” Karenna murmured.

Henry hugged her, stroked her soft hair, and said softly, “No, it just means we can rest now.”

The two embraced, breaking into countless specks of light.

Leaving only a treasure chest behind.

Yan Yunqing rubbed his temples, feeling that he would get a headache whenever he thought about this instance in the future.

There was no way he would play it again, no matter how much experience it gave!

Yan Yunqing casually opened the treasure chest, and in an instant, the instance completion experience smashed into his head. With a mysterious and profound feeling, his level directly jumped thirty levels, reaching level thirty-one.

…Well, maybe he could play it again!

It wasn’t that he was after the experience, but he really wanted to be part of the FFF group and burn all the couples in this instance to ashes.

Level thirty seemed to be a watershed moment. His game system refreshed and unlocked several new modules. Yan Yunqing didn’t have time to check them out, so he first looked at the items that dropped from the treasure chest.

This time, he didn’t get any blueprints, but he did get a skill book and a bow…

Wait, a skill book???

Yan Yunqing was shocked and picked up the dropped skill book. A reminder immediately popped up on the game panel.

[You have picked up [Archery · Absolute Aim], do you want to spend 10 skill points to learn it?]

[Archery · Absolute Aim]

Passive skill. Within one hundred meters, every arrow you shoot has a 50% hit rate and increases critical hit by 20%; within fifty meters, hit rate 70%, increases critical hit by 30%; within thirty meters, hit rate 90%, increases critical hit by 40%, within ten meters 100% hit, increases critical hit by 50%. ‘No one survives within a hundred steps of a sharpshooter.’

Yan Yunqing gasped when he saw the skill description, “Holy crap!”

What does this even mean? It means that when he holds a bow and arrow, within ten meters, not only will he hit 100% of the time, but every arrow will also increase the critical hit by 50%.

This isn’t some sharpshooter, this is clearly a cheater! Not only does it come with an aimbot, but it also has a critical hit amplification…

Can this kind of skill book be obtained from a beginner instance?

Yan Yunqing suspected that this instance was broken.

Could it be that Karenna and Henry felt good after being beaten up, so they gave him a big one?

They even provided a bow… Huh?

Yan Yunqing picked up the bow, tilting his head in confusion.

This was a bow that was entirely emerald green, with vines winding upwards and stars floating on it, full of vibrant greenery.

[Bow · Emerald Shadow]

This is a beginner’s bow handcrafted by elves. Inject magic power when using it, and pulling the bow will generate an arrow constructed of magic power, with its own wood attribute magic attack bonus.

How come this bow looks a bit like… the one Sylph made for him?

It was previously mentioned that the [Demon King] main character was initially recuperating in the elven territory. During that period, the main character scrounged a lot of skills from the Elf King, and also proposed wanting to learn the beautiful archery skills of the elves.

It was just that the main character didn’t have a suitable bow, and the other elves’ bows weren’t suitable for him to use for practice, so Sylph germinated vines and crafted a beginner’s bow for the main character.

Speaking of which, where did he end up throwing that bow…?

Yan Yunqing recalled while flipping through his backpack, and finally remembered from scattered memory fragments that he had been playing until the backpack slots were full. Once when he was clearing his backpack, Sylph took the bow back and sent him a better bow the next day.

However, at that time Yan Yunqing already had better weapons obtained from instances, so he didn’t need to use the bow anymore.

However, that was so long ago, he figured that Sylph should have thrown that bow away by now?

He wondered where it was buried…

Yan Yunqing touched this bow, made space for it, and solemnly returned it to his backpack.

With this bow, plus the passive of Absolute Aim, he could basically be said to be invincible when fighting ranged monsters next, so he had to keep it safe. Before finding the next replacement weapon, this bow was his bound weapon!

He had gained a lot from this instance. If it weren’t for the cooldown, Yan Yunqing would have liked to play it again to see what good things this couple could drop for him.

Yan Yunqing tidied up and exited the instance. As soon as he came out, he saw Lillian grabbing the tail of a Rulu Pig, being dragged by the Rulu Pig as it ran wildly through the forest.

Yan Yunqing: ???

“Save me—” Lillian keenly noticed Yan Yunqing’s return and quickly cried for help, “Quick, make this stupid pig stop! I can’t get down!”

Yan Yunqing: …

Yan Yunqing used a binding spell with mixed feelings, fixing the Rulu Pig in place. With a sudden stop, Lillian almost flew out, but Yan Yunqing caught her quickly, preventing the tragedy from happening.

Lillian breathed a long sigh of relief, patting her small chest, “Thank goodness, I thought my little life was going to end here today.”

Yan Yunqing was speechless: “I told you to wait for me outside, why did you go and provoke the Rulu Pig? And– with your level, you can beat the Rulu Pig, why are you grabbing its tail and being dragged around?”

Lillian smiled sheepishly, “Wasn’t I bored waiting for you… so I could only find some fun for myself.”

Saying that, she said solemnly, “You know? Waiting is long and lonely, so please don’t make me wait for you in the future.”

Yan Yunqing was helpless, “But you can’t enter the instance, what can I do?”

Not continuing to talk about this topic, Yan Yunqing took out the bow he got from the instance and showed it to Lillian, “Look, I got this from the instance, it looks pretty good, right!”

Lillian showed an unexpected expression when she saw the bow, “A bow?”

“Yeah, as long as you inject magic power, you can condense arrows, it’s considered a magic bow.” Yan Yunqing touched the bow, feeling very good, “As long as there’s constant magic power, there will be infinite arrows, this feels so good.”

All fear comes from insufficient firepower, and this bow perfectly solved this problem. He just needed to prepare more small blue bottles to restore magic power at any time.

Yan Yunqing rattled on and on, finding that Lillian didn’t respond, which was unlike her usual talkative self. He turned his head and saw a complex look on Lillian’s face.

“What’s wrong, is there something wrong with this bow?” Yan Yunqing couldn’t help but ask, seeing Lillian staring at the bow.

“Um… there’s nothing wrong.” Lillian looked away, “This bow looks like it’s for beginners, won’t you feel unaccustomed to it?”

“Huh?” Yan Yunqing was puzzled, “I’m a beginner to begin with. To be honest, this is the first time I’ve touched a bow and arrow. I don’t even know if I can pull the bowstring, it’ll be embarrassing if I can’t… Sure enough, I have to add archery training later, so that I don’t even know how to draw the bow when I need to use it.”

“Beginner…” A hint of confusion flashed in Lillian’s eyes, quickly hidden before Yan Yunqing noticed, and she became energetic again, “If you want to learn archery, I can teach you! Don’t forget, our elves are the best at archery!”

Yan Yunqing snorted, hands on hips, “Then you underestimate me, of course I already have my own bow, it’s just that I put it in my tribe and didn’t bring it out!”

“As for being a child– humph, my inherited memories have how to use a bow, the entire elven race can’t have an elf who is better at using bows than me!”

Lillian said proudly, “The elders also said that as long as I reach adulthood, I will definitely become a sharpshooter!”

Yan Yunqing stroked his chin, still trusting in the inheritance memory of the elves, “Okay, then you teach me.”

Let’s have some archery training!

Lillian was full of energy, “Okay!”

The two discussed archery training later. While Yan Yunqing was listening to Lillian’s teaching arrangements, he opened the game panel. He seemed to see new modules appearing on the panel when he leveled up, but he had put the new modules out of his mind because of opening the treasure chest.

Now he could take a look at what new features there were…

Yan Yunqing’s pupils suddenly shrank when his gaze touched a line of large characters displayed on the panel.

[《Homeward Journey》 world is being debugged, there are 7298:12:24 left before the internal beta launch.]

Yan Yunqing: ???

Yan Yunqing slowly… No, it couldn’t be considered slowly anymore, he violently typed out three question marks.

What the hell? Homeward Journey??? What is this thing?!

Internal beta launch??? Huh?

Yan Yunqing was stunned with shock. He stared at the forum module marked on the game panel, reached out, and slowly, slowly clicked on the newly added module.

[Li Tao, is the world’s first holographic game about to launch? Does everyone think it’s reliable?]

[Ahhhhh Homeward Journey has been advertised for three years, and finally a accurate message has been given, but is it a little too late to wait nearly ten months before opening the internal beta]

[Holy crap, I saw Homeward Journey’s official announcement three years ago. There hasn’t been any news for so long, and I thought it was stillborn. How did it suddenly announce that it was going to open the internal beta? I’m not prepared at all!]

[The first holographic game, is the equipment expensive? Is this game really reliable? Last time I spent tens of thousands to buy equipment and ended up playing a pile of dog poop, I’ll really thank you! Waiting for the inside information from the relatives!]

[Report– the official website has updated the game equipment, the cheapest one only needs]

[No, are you all celebrating? Am I the only one who doesn’t look favorably on this so-called holographic game?]

…

Yan Yunqing dazedly scanned through, accurately extracting the key points from a bunch of forum posts.

First of all, the world he transmigrated to is indeed a game, named “Homeward Journey.”

Secondly, the world he transmigrated to is indeed a game, and will welcome internal beta players, public beta players, and countless… Blue Star compatriots!

Yan Yunqing’s spirits lifted, what did this mean? This meant that after another ten months, this other world would welcome a large group of players from the same place as him. Here, he would no longer be a lonely transmigrator wandering in another world!

Yan Yunqing was excited for a moment, wishing that he could close his eyes and open them again, and wake up ten months later, with his compatriots appearing in front of him immediately.

“What’s wrong with you?” Lillian babbled a lot, turned her head and found Yan Yunqing was in a daze, couldn’t help but reach out and wave in front of his eyes, “Did you hear clearly what I just said?”

Lillian’s voice interrupted Yan Yunqing’s fantasy. He came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and exhaled.

Close your eyes, let your boiling brain calm down.

Hoo–

Lillian subconsciously silenced.

Yan Yunqing quickly went through it in his head, from his transmigration to the present he found that the game’s internal beta was about to open, the process of this series of events, he suddenly discovered the wrongness in it.

Wait, if it can be determined that this is a holographic game, then did he transmigrate into the game, or did he not transmigrate at all, but just entered the game with his consciousness and became one of the players?

Although Yan Yunqing often casually teased that the game’s copywriting and art were not good, the overly real world had already made Yan Yunqing regard the game system as his golden finger, and he was just a transmigrator into an alien world inside the game.

If there really is a game production team debugging the game itself, then is his task a coincidence? Or is there someone in the dark planning everything? Are his actions being watched by others?

If all of this is planned, then why let him see this so-called game forum? Did they think it was no fun to keep him in the dark, and want to see him think that he was being monitored at all times, trembling in fear?

After the initial joy of seeing compatriots passed, one problem after another emerged, stirring up Yan Yunqing’s thoughts, and his temples throbbed.

Yan Yunqing pinched the bridge of his nose, unable to figure out a clue for a moment. The main reason was that these questions were illusory. He didn’t even have a clue, and it was impossible to unravel the truth behind them.

…Wait.

Yan Yunqing suddenly remembered something and immediately called Lillian.

“I’m here.” Lillian looked at Yan Yunqing with a worried look on her face, “What’s wrong with you? Are you injured?”

“No… I just discovered something.” Yan Yunqing frowned, “Let me ask you a few questions. Regarding the prophecy of the Descender that you mentioned earlier, Merlin once interpreted the prophecy, right? You said that the time of the Descender’s appearance that I interpreted was different from his interpretation. What time did he interpret?”

Lillian was stunned, not knowing why Yan Yunqing suddenly mentioned that prophecy. She thought for a moment, “The time Merlin interpreted was also vague, only precise to the month, which is August next year.”

August!

Now it’s… Yan Yunqing opened the system page and glanced at the date. It was exactly October in the game.

There are nearly seven thousand three hundred hours left before the internal test time, which translates to exactly… ten months! From now until August next year is exactly ten months.

The case is solved, the Descender does not refer to him, but to the players who are about to log in.

Yan Yunqing took a deep breath: “When did this prophecy first appear?”

“Um? It was a few decades after the Demon King disappeared, the specific time is uncertain, it suddenly spread in the imperial capital.” Lillian paused and said seemingly inadvertently, “However, it may be related to the Demon King’s retinue.”

Yan Yunqing was surprised to hear this: “Demon King? What does this have to do with the Demon King’s retinue?”

“This is… my guess.” Lillian said, “At that time, the Demon King disappeared not long ago, and such remarks that were not conducive to the Demon King’s rule spread among the people. The maniacs of the Demon King’s Guard must have been checking everywhere, but Theodore seemed to not notice anything and let the rumor spread more and more.”

“So you think…” Yan Yunqing hesitated.

Lillian was confident, “This rumor has something to do with Theodore. Maybe he made it up to usurp the throne.”

“Maybe he’s been looking for the Demon King everywhere for so many years just to kill the Demon King and become the Eternal Lord himself!” Lillian had already started conspiracy theories.

Yan Yunqing: …

The Demon King’s Guard, a team belonging to the Demon King that only followed the Demon King’s orders, led by the Archangel Theodore.

Yan Yunqing was speechless, “You said before that this prophecy has been confirmed to be true… and the Eternal Empire has been destroyed for so long, how can he be the Eternal Lord?”

Lillian blinked, “I’m just guessing, guessing! Anyway, I don’t think that guy Theodore is a good thing, he must have some intentions towards the Demon King!”

“Otherwise, why didn’t he stop this prophecy from spreading? At that time, many people were already starting to panic because of the Demon King’s disappearance. The spread of the prophecy can be said to have accelerated the destruction of the Eternal Empire.”

Speaking of the Eternal Empire, a trace of complexity flashed in Lillian’s eyes. The empire that was once at its peak because of the Demon King eventually collapsed and was destroyed in the tide of time because of the Demon King’s disappearance, turning into a speck of dust in history.

The Eternal Empire existed for only three hundred years, and its prosperity and prosperity could not be compared to the present day, more than a thousand years later.

Yan Yunqing pondered.

Indeed, if the rumor really spread like this, Theodore must know more details about this prophecy.

After all, at that time, the Demon King’s Guard was also responsible for controlling the security of the empire in secret. It was impossible for the Demon King’s Guard to let such remarks that easily disturbed people’s hearts spread.

Yan Yunqing remembered the text messages sent after uninstalling 《Demon King》…

Tsk, it’s a bit scary to think about it now.

Wouldn’t someone have been staring at him all the time when he was playing Demon King?

Could it be that he transmigrated inexplicably because he quit the game?

Yan Yunqing rubbed his temples, feeling more and more confused, so he stopped thinking about it.

But this prophecy of the Descender must have something to do with his transmigration. Perhaps he should first find out the full version of this prophecy, and then think about what the prophecy is trying to explain.

Although he didn’t care about living in that world, it was very annoying to be pushed around all the time.
