On the deserted back mountain of St. Freya High School, a dazzling golden pillar of light shot up into the sky... Within the golden pillar of light, there was an aura of death... and a heavy, suffocating feeling.
"One-shot wonder?" Li Xuan stared blankly at the sudden golden pillar of light before him. As an experienced player, he knew very well what the golden pillar of light represented... It meant this was a 'divine piece of equipment'...
Just as Li Xuan was anticipating what kind of divine weapon would emerge from the Gate of Vows, the first thing to appear from the golden pillar of light was not the 'divine weapon' he expected... but the commonest of common ordinary weapons, the '3-star weapon [Eagle Shotgun]'...
"..." Li Xuan was stunned. Shouldn't a golden light produce at least a five-star weapon?! What was going on? Was the Gate of Vows broken?!...
A purple light flashed again on the Gate of Vows, which was still maintaining the golden pillar of light, and a weapon was spat out from the golden pillar of light... a '4-star weapon [Super Electromagnetic Self-Destruct Bomb]', a somewhat useful weapon...
Then came a large pile of useless weapons and emblems... things like ordinary AK-47s, carbines, and even a few new emblem-type equipment appeared... for example, the quite useless [Supply Doubling Technique], [Death's Breath: Break], [Spare Magazine]... Except for one [Martial Arts Master (High Tier)] which was of some use, Li Xuan threw all the others into his ring as junk...
The items from nine wishes had already come out... A more dazzling light burst forth from within the golden pillar of light, which had been slow to arrive. Along with the light came... an indescribable, eternal aura. The grass and trees near the Gate of Vows suddenly withered under this aura...
The lush green grass, originally radiating with life, at this moment seemed to have suddenly welcomed the arrival of autumn, its green leaves strangely turning a withered yellow....
Although the nearby trees were not as exaggerated, their leaves had quietly wilted... Li Xuan, who was closest to the golden pillar of light, felt a chill run up his spine from bottom to top...
"..." He didn't know if it was his imagination, but Li Xuan even faintly saw something like a skull in the light... It was quite creepy.
"What on earth is this thing?!...." Having come back to his senses, Li Xuan directly reached out his right hand and grasped the item within the golden pillar of light...
'At this moment, I have grasped the future...' For some reason, Li Xuan always thought of the sticker pack he used to use when he was chatting in QQ groups (hand holding a salted fish)...
As Li Xuan's right hand touched the golden pillar of light... his fingertips touched something cold... A piece of information was transmitted from the item into his brain, appearing out of thin air in his consciousness...
Five-star emblem... [Hell's Soul], increases all damage dealt by 25.74%, and reduces all damage taken by 25.74%...
"An emblem?!..." Li Xuan opened his right hand. A silver emblem lay quietly in his fair palm... In the center of the eight-pointed star-shaped emblem with silver wings on both sides was a pattern resembling a skull...
"Increases all damage I deal to enemies, and reduces all damage I take..." Li Xuan looked at the emblem in his hand. From the literal meaning, he hadn't lost out at all... Although the percentage increase wasn't very high, it was still much better than the other things he had...
"Sigh~ I really am an unlucky scrub..." Li Xuan muttered to himself as he put the Gate of Vows back into his ring. He would have preferred a weapon-type item, like... hmm, something like the 'Sword of Promised Victory'... that he could hold in his hand and unleash an 'Excaliblast'... unlike his own Xuanyuan Sword, which had no special features other than being sharp...
It really was a counterfeit... Li Xuan lamented deeply. When it was wished for, it was marked with (Replica), and so far, the Xuanyuan Sword had indeed been a counterfeit all along... It was supposed to be the legendary sword of the Yellow Emperor, but the one Li Xuan had was still so fake... A divine weapon from history... yet it had no special abilities whatsoever!
"Even after sacrificing that Kiana girl, I still can't shake off this bad luck?" Li Xuan tossed the silver emblem in his hand and frowned, casually biting his fingertip to draw blood. He muttered as he smeared the blood on the emblem.
"Isn't Kiana a lucky person?... Her face is so fair..." Li Xuan was completely baffled... He didn't play games often, but he had heard a rumor that the fairer a person's face, the luckier they were... Now that he thought about it, it was probably false, right?
Li Xuan quickly followed the small path on the back mountain and sneakily returned to his dormitory...
That evening, Principal Theresa announced with a straight face that the golden pillar of light today was caused by some experiment... Of course, this could only fool children like Kiana and the truly clueless onlookers... The white-haired nun loli's skill at telling bald-faced lies was getting higher and higher...
........................
The day after Li Xuan used the 'Gate of Vows', he was forced to board a plane to the Divine Land with Yae Sakura and Yaoye... As for why he brought Yae Sakura and Yaoye, it was because Li Xuan had inadvertently mentioned that he considered himself a person of the Divine Land... (of course, from another world), so Yae Sakura and Yaoye became interested in the Divine Land...
Although St. Freya High School was located in the Far East, it was not far from the Divine Land... They were only separated by a sea... In fact, it was only the distance of two provinces...
Early in the morning, Li Xuan was dragged up by an excited Yaoye, carrying a suitcase and following behind Class President Fu Hua... Then they boarded a private jet and first headed to 'Guangzhou' in the Divine Land...
Principal Theresa let Li Xuan go back first for two reasons. First, she wanted Li Xuan and Fu Hua to investigate the place 'Guangzhou' first... Where did the legendary 'Jiuyou' exist? After all, the two were locals, so it would be easier for them to get started... Second, she wanted to see what kind of reaction Li Xuan would have to the Divine Land... Although Theresa had let her guard down around Li Xuan, his background was still a mystery and needed to be investigated further... If they could discover Li Xuan's true identity, and it was clean... this child Li Xuan would have risen a step in Theresa's heart... and certain permissions could be safely entrusted to him...
A small passenger plane with a white exterior slowly descended from the azure blue sky. The landing gear extended from the bottom of the plane to slow it down... This passenger plane, codenamed 098, landed discreetly at 'Guangzhou's' Baiyun Airport...
"As I thought..." Li Xuan opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He had grown up in Guangzhou in his previous life and was no stranger to this airport... But he didn't expect that this different world would have an airport with the same name...
This airport was also called 'Baiyun Airport'...
"What's wrong, Student Li Xuan?" Fu Hua, who seemed a little more active because she had returned to her hometown, asked with a slight smile. She was in a good mood... after all, she could finally see her parents again...
"No, it's nothing..." Li Xuan said that he was fine... It was better to keep this kind of thing to himself. However, he could confirm that this world was a parallel world!
"Everyone, please come and stay at my house... My family has plenty of guest rooms for everyone to stay in..." Fu Hua's gaze shifted to a black car parked not far away... It was a Lincoln...
"Wow..." Yaoye expressed her envy...
"...Thank you, Student Fu Hua..." Yae Sakura was rather calm...
"..." There's a rich person among us... Li Xuan once again confirmed that he was a poor person...
