Chapter 73: Son, Tell Me The Truth, Did You Rob A Bank?

Defying Heaven's official website.

With the upgraded forum, which can now accommodate over 10 million users online at the same time, the forum exploded.

Especially after He Yi Ming announced the Northern Expedition, and brought the players on a three-day journey, every day, the players were constantly posting their experiences on the forum.

Causing many users on the forum to be envious and jealous!

There were so many different types of monsters, the map was so huge, the scenery was endless, and there was delicious food to enjoy every single day, with no I repeat no recycled contents at all!

There was even a cult following on the form for the in-game foods!

In the forum, posts were posted one after another, most of which were just someone begging for an account or saying random stuff. The most popular one was naturally posted by the 88 beta players.

However, at this time, the Number 1 post was a post made by Stardust.

"Review of the Limited Edition, Poison Serpent Spear!"

"Hey everyone, my name is Stardust!"

"On this Northern Expedition, we the Stardust Crusader have accomplished many great achievements! If you want to learn it more in detail, you can click on this link and it will take you to my previous post released yesterday, Detail Record of the Northern Expedition, Stardust Crusader's Version."

"Now what I'm going to show you is the Limited Edition Poison Serpent Spear! There are only three in the entire server!"

"Images below!"

"Only after playing Defying Heaven, did I learn what true god-tier equipment is like! I can confidently say that all the previous end-game gear, epic equipment, legendary equipment, etc, in the other games I played are all trash!"

"After I bind the Poison Serpent Spear to my character, it feels like a part of my own body, as if I was always born with it, I could easily control it at will! Not only that, I could even stand on top of it for a short period of time and glide through the air!"

"The piercing power of the Poison Serpent Spear was extremely strong and it also contains deadly poison! As long as you pierce the body of any monster below Foundation Realm, they're as good as dead! This was like an "Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru" attack for any monster below Foundation Realm!"

(You are already dead)

("And if you think "So what, it's just a weapon that allows you to glide short distances, have an extremely high armor pen, and can easily kill any monster below Foundation Realm with a single touch!" First of all, do you even hear yourself? Second of all, that might be it for any other games but not for this one!"

"The short distance gliding just opens up so many movement options, I mean have you seen the video of Panda Bro fighting the Flaming Salamander? It was crazy!"

"And the armor pen, do you have any idea how insane the defense of the monsters in this game has? A F***ing 4 meter long freshly sharpen I might add you bone sword could only nick their flesh! Although it was a Foundation Realm BOSS, but that's beside the point."

"And OH MY GOD the poison was just such a godsend! Now I can literally one-shot most monsters below Foundation Realm. It made farming hundreds of times no scratch that thousands of times easier!")

"Haaa...I really hope one day you guys can join the game so I can show off how broken the Poison Serpent Spear really is!"

....

In the comment section below, there was various feedback from the viewers.

"I'm so F***ing jealous!"

"A part of your body? So Big Boss Star which part of your body is it?😏😏😏"

"F***, the Poison Serpent Spear is so F***ing awesome! Not only could you ride it, but, I bet it can also twist and vibrate, Poggers!😈😈😈"

"Hey, the two comments above are kind of sus!😏😏😏"

"The comment above, get your mind out of the gutter, the Poison Serpent Spear is several meters long, WTF are you thinking? LMAO!😏😏😏"

"Ahaaa, Big Boss Stars I also want to play the game!"

"The guy next door is already crying his heart out!"

.....

Although the people in the comments were all normally chatting back and forth, it all of a sudden took a weird turn.

But seeing the screenshots and videos of the Poison Serpent Spear, their eyes were filled with jealousy.

What's a God-Tier equipment?

This is a God-Tier equipment!

Unlike traditional online game equipment, where only the stats are a bit different, the designs change a bit, and a few special effects are added, while everything else is basically the same.....

The Poison Serpent Spear was completely different!

It single-handedly changes how you can play the game!

(TN: The OG went like this"Have you ever seen a equipment that you can use as a hoverboard to fly?")

Meanwhile, in a small apartment on Earth.

"Hello~~Dad it's me. I just earn a ton of money! It's true, I'm not lying!"

"Dad, now you can take it easy and not work overtime anymore! It's bad for your body! I'm not lying, I really made a ton of money! Dad all you need to do is stay at home and take care of mom! After all, mom really needs someone to be with her! Now you can leave all the money problems to me!"

"Ha? Why won't you believe me? Wait a minute!"

.....

Ding Hao, player ID Beef Noodle, transferred a whopping 300k to his father's account.

With this much money, his father doesn't need to worry about working overtime at night even though he is already very old.

Ding Hao left himself with 60k, if he budgets it out, it should be able to last him 10 years for his daily needs. It could be said that with Ding Hao's current wealth, even if he never takes a step out of his apartment and only eat deliveries, it could last him several years.

After all, even if Ding Hao went out and work, he could at most earn 10k a year.

A small apartment like the one he is living in right now only costs 200 per month. 60k was enough to rent it for 25 years! ! !

(Disclaimer this is not accounting for inflation in the calculation or any other outside factor, thank you for your understanding)

"Son, tell me honestly, where did the money come from, did you rob a bank or something?" Ding Hao's father's words almost cause him to vomit up blood.

(TN: Vomit up blood is a Chinese expression that means very angry, like go ballistic. So the sentence can be translated as "Ding Hao's father's words almost cause him to go ballistic." The More You Know)

After explaining it to his father for an entire hour, he finally reassured him that he got this money from playing a game and not from robbing a bank.

After all, Ding Hao's father's yearly salary was only 15k. As for Ding Hao's mother, her body was not in good health so she stay at home.

Ding Hao just sent them 20 years of their family income in one go!

It was not surprising that Ding Hao's father suspected his son of robbing a bank at first.

"Son, although it's good that you found a job you love but remember to take care of your body!" Ding Hao's father struggles for a while but in the end, he decided to believe in Ding Hao's choice and only gives him some reminder at the end.

From Ding Hao's father's perspective, staying home and playing games for a long period of time will lead to many health problems.

"Ok!" Ding Hao nodded.

It was just that Ding Hao felt that his body seemed more energetic and healthier than ever before, it was weird as F***.

After hanging up the phone, Ding Hao turned around and went to the toilet. He grabbed the door handle and pulled back.

"Boom!" With a loud roar, the whole metal door broke apart carrying debris from the wall, and fell toward Ding Hao.

"What the F***!" Seeing this scene, Ding Hao was stupefied...

(F***, looks like I need to get a new apartment ASAP!)

...

Inside the Golden Flame Sect.

The players already can't wait and quickly got online.

As soon as they went online, they received several notifications.

"Ding!"

"The new building Forging Hall has been permanently added! Players only need to pay 100 contribution points every 6 hours to enter the Forging Hall and be able to freely use all of its tools and facilities!"

"Ding!"

"The new building Training Field has been permanently added! Players only need to pay 100 contribution points per hour to enter the Cultivation Room! All other facilities are free of charge!"

"Ding!"

"Two new skills have been added to the Skill Tower! Ancient Basic Skill, Thunder Spell! Ancient Basic Skill, Treading Air!

Looking at the strings of notification, the players were stunned for a bit before cheering in excitement!

"Holy shit, they added so much new content with the update?"

"They're releasing new skills? Thunder Spell? Does this mean I can finally play as a Lightning Mage?"

"Where is the Training Field? I need to test out my strength!"

"The Forging Hall is so awesome, F*** yeah, POGGERS!"

"Oh yeah! This maintenance was so worth the wait!"

"F***, there are so many choices, where should I start?"

....

The players were super excited and dispersed to do their own thing.

Blacksmithing players went straight to the Forging Hall, while most of the other players went to take a tour around the Training Field, looking at the individual Cultivation Room, each of them with their own little thoughts.

At this time, a figure rush right into the Skill Tower and walked in front of the Thunder Spell stele.

ID Luffy.

"Thunder Spell and Treading Air? Ha, amateurs...

"These are clearly Lightning Release and Geppo!"

"Just you wait, I'll show you their true potential!"

.....

After Luffy finished his little monologue, he sat cross-legged and enter the spiritual space to learn the new skills...
