I'm a God in an Online Game-Chapter 38

Searching for Treasure

Invincibility skills had a much longer cooldown than ordinary attack skills. Though Seven Kill immediately used his damage-reducing skill, Meng Jingtian’s Divine Punishment still dealt more than thirty thousand damage to him.

Seven Kill, who already had only a sliver of HP left, was instantly KO’d!

Upon reappearing at the spawn point, Seven Kill stood in a daze. He had… failed!

After a long silence, Seven Kill sent a message to an ordinary Level 25 character: “I failed!”

“What? Yiming, you couldn’t kill him either? How is that possible?” the player, who was called Ran Zai’an, asked in disbelief.

“What’s not possible about it? I’m not invincible either?” Chen Yiming gave a relieved smile as he replied. f𝗿𝙚e𝙬𝗲𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵ𝑒𝗹. 𝒄𝑜𝘮

“Little An, give it up! It’s just a job. There’s no need to be so stubborn about this sort of thing,” Chen Yiming said to Ran Zai’an.

“No! We’re Godslayer Hall! There is no mission that Godslayer Hall cannot complete! Perhaps I should take Sword Immortal’s advice. In the end, an individual’s strength is limited,” Ran Zai’an stubbornly shouted back.

“I spent a whole ten years building up Godslayer Hall’s reputation. I can’t allow anyone to ruin it!

“Yiming! I plan to organize a group of top-class assassins to kill him. You help out too! Can even something like that not kill him? I don’t believe it!” Ran Zai’an continued.

“Little An, I’m tired,” Chen Yiming answered, shaking his head.

It had been ten years now, and they had lost sight of their original aspirations. In dealing with the increasingly stubborn Ran Zai’an, he truly had grown tired.

Godslayer Hall had first been established by a few hotblooded friends who wanted to make a name for themselves in video games.

But now, it was probably only Ran Zai’an who was so enthusiastic and stubborn about maintaining Godslayer Hall, right?

Meanwhile, at the cliff at the back of the Frozen Sword Sect, Meng Jingtian descended back to the ground atop a cloud crane.

He had taken a gamble on these cloud cranes with 100 Friendliness to him and guessed that they could understand his commands, that he could ride them as he had the red-crowned crane at Qian Kun Monastery.

The final result showed that he had made the right bet.

“Zhang Defa! Zhang Defa!” Zhang Defa was standing absentmindedly by the cliff, and Meng Jingtian had to yell at him for an entire minute before Zhang Defa finally showed a reaction.

Meng Jingtian pouted as he asked, “The hell did you go?”

“Haha! Rich! I’m rich!” Zhang Defa’s eyes were almost glowing as he patted Meng Jingtian on the shoulder.

“What sort of daydream were you having?” The corner of Meng Jingtian’s mouth twitched as he slapped the guy on the head. This guy wasn’t just a member of the nouveau riche, but also a money-grubber!

“I just posted the video of your battle with Seven Kill onto the forums—ten alliance coins to view once.” Zhang Defa beamed as he explained.

“Guess how it did? I only put it up one minute ago, but it’s already been watched more than three hundred times.”

Meng Jingtian was startled. It was no wonder he was rich! He had even been able to find a commercial opportunity in a place like this?

“Then shouldn’t you be paying me an appearance fee?” Meng Jingtian patted Zhang Defa on the shoulder and rubbed his fingers together.

Zhang Defa’s smile froze, and then he glanced at Meng Jingtian. “I really didn’t see it, but you’re someone who really knows how to bleed a person dry! You didn’t take the video! It was all my effort.”

“But you were recording me, right?” Meng Jingtian said, and slapped him on the back.

“I could possibly give you a percentage,” Zhang Defa said, his smile returning as he began to negotiate. “Brother, you’re a celebrity now, so let’s do this! I’ll invest a little more money, and then we can produce some action figures and peripherals, and then you can advertise a few products that my family makes…”

“Screw you! Are you playing a game or running a business?” Meng Jingtian rolled his eyes. He saw that Zhang Defa’s eyes were glowing and that he had already taken out a calculator.

“Take out the treasure map!”

“Eeeeh? Brother, you don’t want to reconsider? I think that you should put your celebrity effect to good use!” Zhang Defa called out, seeing that Meng Jingtian had just taken the treasure map and was already walking away.

But at this moment, the cloud crane next to Meng Jingtian pecked at Zhang Defa, instantly taking off one-third of his HP.

The cloud crane wanted to continue attacking, but Meng Jingtian held it back by the neck.

Zhang Defa hastily retreated to a safe distance and bitterly smiled at Meng Jingtian. “Why don’t the monsters attack you? Are you a beast tamer?”

“Why are you thinking about how to make money in a game? Were you also born in a merchant family in the game?” Meng Jingtian shot back.

Zhang Defa was startled. He knew that Meng Jingtian wasn’t going to give him an explanation.

After all, an ability to be ‘friendly’ with monsters was extremely game-breaking. Was there anyone who would selflessly share it?

He understood how to be discreet and stopped asking.

Meng Jingtian got on the cloud crane and flew down the cliff. Truly, halfway down the cliff, there really was a cave entrance, concealed beneath ivy.

Meng Jingtian opened up the treasure map again, which provided an exact location. Moreover, when he opened up the treasure map, a red line appeared that led into the cave.

It seemed that this was the right place, so Meng Jingtian followed the map’s guide into the cave.

After ten-some meters, a fork appeared in the cave, as if this was some sort of maze.

This was probably the reason the treasure map existed. The red line produced by the map told Meng Jingtian which path he should take.

After going around for about an hour, he was confronted by a single path. It seemed that the maze had ended, and his destination was up ahead.

Meng Jingtian gleefully took a few steps forward, but he was interrupted by the flapping of wings. A group of Level 30 bloodthirsty bats had been alarmed and was now flying toward him.

“50 Friendliness?” Meng Jingtian slightly frowned at the level of Friendliness these bats possessed.

It was somewhat unusual, but it was still enough Friendliness for the mobs to not attack him. Meng Jingtian passed through these mobs that he should have needed to kill and came up to a stone door.

Slivers of black energy seeped out from behind the stone door. The dark environment and the flapping of bat wings made the mood somewhat frightening.

Meng Jingtian took out a piece of fire-stone from his inventory, and with its dim light, he was able to find the switch for the stone door.

Crrrrrr~

With a tooth-aching creak, the stone door slowly opened, shedding dust.

Awooo!

The moment the stone door opened, a bestial howl came from within, and a black silhouette rushed out, giving Meng Jingtian a fright.

Once he was able to get a good look, he realized that it was a boss, its body circled by black energy.
