309 – The Method for Perfect Clearance!

Next, the now relaxed Wang Ping continued to gaze at the screen.

On the screen, the text continued to appear.

[After the Black-robed woman player left the game world, the transformed shota player set his sights on you, intending to kill you as well.]

[In response, your face darkened, planning to use the five-digit special item · Forbidden Magic Domain. As long as you use this item, the originally very dangerous space-type talent will be ineffective.]

[As long as the transformed shota player loses his reliance on the space talent, with your physical strength and combat skills, you can easily kill this player instantly.]

[However, just as you were about to use the space talent, an unexpected change occurred. The transformed shota player’s body suddenly stiffened, seeming to lose the ability to move.]

[This scene left you very surprised. Following that, something even more surprising happened; the transformed shota player suddenly stopped using his talent, his demeanor changed, his body gradually shrank back to its original state.]

[As the transformed shota player reverted to his original form, the lurking shadow suddenly acted, impaling the transformed shota player, the terrifying power of flames erupting, burning him to ashes.]

[This bizarre scene made your eyelids twitch wildly, sensing something strange, perhaps another player had taken action.]

[However, the only remaining players currently alive are you and the Masked Player. Could it be that the Masked Player acted?]

[Just when you were astonished and lost in thought, your vision suddenly changed, from the corridor of the Castle to a green prairie. On the prairie, a lot of rabbits were hopping around you.]

[Seeing this strange scene, your expression changed greatly, knowing that you were caught in some kind of illusion. Judging by the style of this illusion, it might be the work of the female player with the rabbit headgear.]

[Perhaps, the female player with the rabbit headgear had never died, and you had long fallen into her illusion talent, with many of your actions being within the illusion.]

[If that is indeed the case, then things are really bad.]

…

“This truly is full of twists,” Wang Ping’s expression turned grave.

If the previous plot developments were all hallucinations, then it’s truly troublesome, indicating that his previous judgments were all wrong.

“This Heavenly Tower game is indeed dangerous,” Wang Ping sighed inwardly, continuing to stare at the screen, hoping that things wouldn’t develop into the worst-case scenario.

[Numerous thoughts flashed through your mind, as your expression changed, you unhesitatingly activated the effects of the five-digit special item · Forbidden Magic Domain.]

[As the effects of the five-digit special item · Forbidden Magic Domain unfolded, your vision changed back to the interior of the Castle.]

[However, compared to before, your vision still experienced some changes.]

[The change being that the female player with the rabbit headgear, who was supposed to be dead, appeared in your vision again.]

[At this moment, she wasn’t riding a rabbit, but was scanning around you and the surroundings with a face full of astonishment and even fear, as if trying to find out who broke her talent, sealing her permissions to use talents and items.]

[Looking at the female player with the rabbit headgear, your expression turned dark, you confirmed your previous judgment in your heart.]

[However, you had no time to bother with the female player with the rabbit headgear next. Because your talent had also been sealed, you could only hurriedly avoid the shadow’s imminent attack.]

[However, in your weakened state, you ultimately failed to dodge the attack, getting an arm pierced by the shadow’s spike.]

[Seeing this, your expression changed greatly. After all, the shadow also had the power of flames, and as long as it activated the flames, you would die without a corpse.]

[However, to your suppression, the shadow didn’t use the flame ability, as if it couldn’t use it anymore.]

[This raised a suspicion in your heart immediately. The shadow in front of you might have been formed after the death of the suited player named Wu, not only having the characteristics of a shadow but also being able to use the talents of the suited player.]

[Hence, after the five-digit item · Forbidden Magic Domain unfolded, the shadow in front of you couldn’t use the flame ability anymore.]

[If this is indeed the case, then in this game if you die, you would generate a shadow that can use the Life Simulator… If it truly turns out like that, it might drive other players to despair.]

[Even if it can’t use the Life Simulator, just being able to use your other talents would also be a big trouble. Some abilities are limited on you, but an ‘undying’ shadow doesn’t have that.]

[Moreover, the shadows formed from the deaths of other players are also problematic. After all, aside from the suited player, their talents aren’t considered ordinary either.]

[Numerous thoughts flashed through your mind, making you increasingly wary of the shadow.]

[While you felt apprehensive, you still frantically retreated, attempting to evade the shadow’s next attack. Unfortunately, the shadow’s strength itself was not weakened, only its talent was restricted.]

[Therefore, you ultimately couldn’t escape the demon’s grasp of the shadow and were directly killed by it.]

[Due to your death, this simulation has now ended…]

…

As the textual simulation ended, Wang Ping furrowed his brows and discreetly glanced at the player with the bunny headpiece.

This female player’s talent is truly troublesome…

Wang Ping wasn’t sure if the player with the bunny headpiece had used her talent to affect other players before the game began.

If she had already used her ability, it would indeed be problematic.

This meant that Wang Ping might have to use the five-digit special item, the Forbidden Magic Domain, to deal with her.

If that were the case, Wang Ping would lose an extremely powerful trump card.

“Maybe I can test it, to see if it’s possible to use talents or item abilities to influence other players before the game starts…”

Wang Ping’s eyes glimmered as he pondered silently.

“If it’s impossible to influence before the game starts, that would be much easier… I could launch a sneak attack the moment the game starts and take her out instantly.”

At this thought, a strong killing intent surged in Wang Ping’s heart.

At this moment, Wang Ping was no longer a novice. His emotions and killing intent would be noticed the moment they surfaced.

Today, Wang Ping remained calm and composed, his expression and aura as tranquil as still water, betraying nothing of his inner thoughts.

Then, Wang Ping said in his mind, “System, I want to continue a Free Simulation.”

“Ding. Life Simulator activated, Free Simulation commencing.”

The system’s voice rang out.

Then, the screen appeared, and the familiar text floated up.

[Next, you chose to probe the female player with the headpiece, to see if she could use her talents and abilities to affect other players before the official start of the game.]

[Through your research, you discovered that other players could not use talents or items to affect or harm other players before the game officially started.]

[This result made you breathe a sigh of relief. However, your actions angered the other players, attracting all their hatred. Many even wanted to attack you.]

[Undeterred, you remained calm, waiting quietly for the game to officially begin.]

[The moment the game started, you immediately attacked the female player with the bunny headpiece.]

[However, as you made your move, it seemed the bunny-headpiece player had already prepared. A flash of light formed a hexagram shield, directly protecting her.]

[As your fist struck the hexagram shield, it changed, immobilizing you.]

[Simultaneously, all other players attacked you. You were familiar with their methods, but the Masked Player’s ability was new to you.]

[The Masked Player transformed into a Flame Demon, unleashing terrifying flame abilities.]

[You recognized this ability. According to the description, it was the same as the Shadow’s ability from the last simulation.]

[This meant the Shadow’s refresh mechanism was random. Every hour, a new Shadow appears. The first refreshed Shadow had the Masked Player’s abilities, not the suited man’s abilities as you had guessed.]

[This situation was very dire indeed. If the Shadow refreshed as your own, would you have to kill yourself to get the blood-colored long knife?]

[If you don’t do this, you can’t refresh the blood-colored long knife to slay the Shadow and get an SSS rating. But if you do, you’ll be dead…]

[Of course, if you could use your talent to revive and refresh the blood-colored long knife, that would be acceptable.]

[Otherwise, you can only delay until another Shadow refreshes and kill it.]

[In the critical moment, myriad thoughts crossed your mind. Due to five-digit talent: Absolute Counterattack, your attributes surged, and without hesitation, you used the five-digit special item: Forbidden Magic Domain.]

[As the Forbidden Magic Domain’s effects unfolded, all attacks vanished, and the hexagram binding you shattered.]

【This scene caused the pupils of the other six players to suddenly contract, showing expressions of fear. They didn’t expect you to have such a terrifying special item.】

【You scanned them with a cold expression, stating that they should be proud of having forced you to use a one-time special item rewarded by an SSS-level evaluation.】

【Hearing your words, all the other players’ faces changed, shocked once again. Because your words undeniably revealed that you are Tian Yan.】

【While the other players were shocked, you didn’t waste time and launched a fierce attack towards them.】

【The first target of your attack was the female player with a rabbit headpiece.】

【Facing your assault, the female player with a rabbit headpiece showed a horrified expression, trying to dodge, but the disparity in physical strength and skills made your melee abilities worlds apart.】

【As a result, the female player with a rabbit headpiece had her head ruthlessly blown off by you.】

【After blowing off the female player with a rabbit headpiece, you then targeted the shota, easily killing him.】

【Seeing how you ruthlessly killed two people in an instant, the Chubby Player, the Black-robed woman, the suited man, and the Masked Player had extremely ugly expressions, completely lacking the courage to confront you head-on, and wanted to flee separately.】

【However, by the time they tried to escape, it was naturally too late. You erupted with astonishing speed, easily catching up to them and killing them one by one.】

【After killing them one by one, you began searching for the Crimson sabres as quickly as possible.】

【Ultimately, you found six different Blood-colored sabres with different surnames in different rooms.】

【After you found the six different surnamed Blood-colored sabres, a shadow appeared in front of you.】

【The ability of this shadow was still flame shadow.】

【Seeing this flame shadow, you finally breathed a sigh of relief. If no matter how the players died, the first refreshing shadow was always the flame shadow, it would be easy to deal with. You could kill it effortlessly.】

【Next, without hesitation, you directly engaged in a fight with this flame shadow. Because you already knew its details, you easily killed it with the Crimson sabre.】

【Of course, during the fight, you also tested each of the Blood-colored sabres to see which one worked. In the end, you judged that the one with the surname Lin’s Crimson sabre worked. Evidently, the Masked Player’s surname was Lin.】

【With the killing of the flame shadow, you heard the lively voice of the Heavenly Tower’s intelligent system, congratulating you on clearing the level.】

【At this, you showed a joyful expression and chose to return.】

【With your choice, this simulation ends…】

…

Wang Ping looked at the text simulation, his eyes flickering, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

This simulation was, in a way, a relatively easy clearance.

However, using the five-digit special item: Forbidden Magic Domain was really too regretful.

“Continue the simulation and see if I can eliminate all the other players without using Forbidden Magic Domain.”

Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he thought to himself.

Then, Wang Ping continued to start the simulation.

However, what made Wang Ping headache occurred.

If he did not use the five-digit special item: Forbidden Magic Domain, he could not easily wipe out the other players and might even get counter-killed by their cooperation.

“These players are indeed not easy to deal with. The Heavenly Tower game is indeed not so easy to clear perfectly.”

Wang Ping sighed inwardly.

On the second floor of the Heavenly Tower, he used the Cursed Doll for a perfect clearance. This time, it seemed he had to use the Forbidden Magic Domain as well.

It’s really troublesome to register and see a doctor in a big hospital. I only managed to get medicine this afternoon. To be honest, I haven’t eaten or slept well for a few days; my condition is really bad.

If I weren’t afraid of being accused of being a diva, I really wouldn’t want to move a pen; I just want to lie down and sleep. No way, I’m really too tired!

Today, I barely managed to squeeze out 4,000 words and currently owe 8,000 words.

Tomorrow, I’m planning to go back to my hometown, another more than a thousand kilometers. As for updates, I’ll try my best to write 6,000 words and catch up on the owed words after returning and fully resting.
