"If I defeat Flame Barrox within five minutes, will you give me 5,000 star power?"
A mysterious proposal from a protoss he had never met.
Arash thought about it for a moment and soon laughed.
no problem.
First of all, it's possible in ten minutes.
It's a bit risky, but it's definitely possible in five minutes.
You may get slightly injured in the process, but there is no free lunch in front of Star Power.
Besides, if he suddenly completes a more difficult task, will other protoss find it interesting and sponsor him?
"I have to use some cheating."
This world, or rather this game, is full of bugs and easter eggs.
When developing a game, he couldn't fix it all because he didn't have the ability.
But now, they all became the driving force for his growth.
Arash walked slowly towards Barrox.
"If I fight normally, it will take at least 9 minutes. But if I use a cross formation, I can beat it in 4 minutes."
"The yellow center foothold. Two seconds after I stand on it, cross pillars of fire will appear on both sides of the wall."
Arash slowly drew his sword and lit it.
[Fishermen Chasing Stars: Use fire to attack fire opponents? 】
[Noise from the Sky: What on earth is he thinking about? 】
[Greenhouse poisonous weed: Ah. 】
The chat window was quickly inundated with questions.
But Arash knew.
Barox is immune to normal attacks, but weak to fire.
This is why the Cross Fire Pillar can damage it.
"Hey!"
Arash dived towards Barrox, swinging his flaming sword.
Fire versus fire!
It looked like a losing battle, but the moment the attacks collided.
Whoosh!
Barrox's whole body was engulfed in flames.
[Tip of the iceberg: Can fire monsters be burned? 】
[Greenhouse Poisonous Weed: Very unusual for fire monsters! I knew there was something wrong with Arash! 】
[Lost Snail: I just want to see him burn to death. it's a pity. 】
[Look at the ant through a magnifying glass: He has great insight! 】
Arash not only overwhelmed Barox, but also won the applause of the protoss.
Although Arash is weaker than Barox, he has seen through its attack pattern.
When will Barox attack with fire, when will he flick his tail to attack within a 5-meter range, and when will he jump three times before pounce.
There are other modes.
Arash knows it all.
Whoosh!
Soon, the four walls around Baroques lit up.
"it's time."
Three minutes have passed, but Barox's health has only been reduced by about 30%.
Will Arash fail?
The protoss flooded the chat window again, thinking excitedly, but they would be disappointed.
Arash stepped on the yellow platform in the center of the field, counted a full two seconds, and then jumped back.
boom!
Barrox leapt forward to try and catch Arash, now in the center of the platform.
Whoosh…! !
Four pillars of fire shot out of the wall.
Then, a scream loud enough to shatter an eardrum shook the entire area, and Arash was also attacked.
However, due to his enhanced body, he suffered little damage.
"Now!"
The Pillar of Fire has no "binding" effect, so Arash must prevent Barrox from escaping on his own.
He quickly rushes towards Barrox and continues his attack, making it impossible for him to escape.
In the end, Barrox was powerless and quickly lost his remaining health.
Just like that, 1 minute and 30 seconds passed.
Or a total of 4 minutes and 40 seconds.
[Level 9-The final BOSS of the ancient ruins of Marti has been defeated! 】
【Single player clearance! An added bonus for this amazing achievement. 】
[Get star power. 】
【The shortest clearance time! Additional rewards…】
Numerous system messages appear.
[White Ferry Statue: So crazy! 】
[Man standing up from the ground: I never thought you would use such a trap. marvelous. 】
[Man walking on the edge: Did he judge all situations in one minute? impossible. 】
The excitement of the protoss also brought a considerable amount of star power sponsorship.
[New Year Porridge Round Sponsor 5000 Star Power. 】
[New Year's Porridge: I didn't expect you to pass the level, but it's great. Let’s play together next time. 】
Looking at everyone's reactions, Arash realized it.
"……It is not good?"
Before, he just wanted to move forward steadily.
However, just now he realized that with just a little effort and using his "secret", he could arouse a positive reaction from the protoss.
crisis;
impossible challenge;
and his confidence to complete them.
Arash's heart was racing.
He had no idea it would be so exciting to be the center of attention for all the protoss.
This is an opportunity.
Arash opened his arms and said:
"Celestial New Year's Porridge, of course! Thank you very much for the mission! It's a bit difficult, but I also had a lot of fun. Let's do it next time."
In a sense, this is a task that demands more.
As if hearing his plea, tasks started pouring in.
The corners of Arash's mouth slowly rose.
…
In the past two months, Arash has reached tier 10.
Level 10 is 3 times the average size of other worlds.
There are more dungeons, all monopolized by Arash.
The number of people watching Protoss has also grown exponentially.
[Chidori crosses the line to sponsor 500 star power. 】
[Chidori crosses the line: If you slap the BOSS five times, I will add 3,000 star power. 】
[Absolute position sponsors 2000 star power. 】
[Absolute position: If you only walk diagonally when fighting the BOSS, I will add 5,000 star power. 】
[The Sunken Hourglass sponsors 3,000 star power. 】
[Sunken Hourglass: If you can defeat the BOSS without wearing armor, I will add 7,000 star power. 】
Missions vary and gradually increase in difficulty exponentially.
Sometimes, the mission is too dangerous for Arash, but he has no choice but to accept it.
This is because the first quest was proposed by a protoss, and then a "tradition" was established, so others followed suit, paying first and then giving the quest.
"Damn...this mission is a bit much."
"If I had a companion..."
Arash shook his head quickly, interrupting his thoughts.
He was not going to share his one wish with anyone else.
Only by monopolizing information can he increase his chances of realizing his wishes.
First, if Arash is selfless, he will share information about Arash's world with hundreds of thousands of other challengers to increase everyone's survival rate.
However, his wish is to one day clear all the levels and become a Protoss.
He has no time to care about other people and just wants to realize his wish as soon as possible.
"I'm glad I can skip some tasks."
Ridiculous tasks like "go to hell" or "jump naked into lava".
When he receives such a quest, the other protoss will tell the requester to cancel it because it's not fun.
However, the task of hunting BOSS or certain dungeons must be performed unconditionally because he has received payment in advance.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
He's cleared every dungeon so far, and his level is pretty high thanks to the massive amount of star power.
Moreover, he can now clear 10 to 12 floors easily.
But he is waiting for the New Year's Eve to give him another task before clearing the final hurdle of level 10.
Because this protoss created the novel idea of issuing quests, it became very popular among other protoss.
So if he has access to such generous star power, why delay clearing this layer?
Although the protoss had never sponsored one in advance, Arash had no intention of turning down any mission.
[New Year’s Porridge Yuan sponsors 3,000 star power. 】
This protoss appears every other day or every three days.
Arash, as if grinning happily, said: "You're here! Are you going to give me another task this time?"
[New Year Porridge: No, I just want to sponsor. 】
"Yeah?"
[New Year Porridge Ball: Yes. I'm tired of level 10 now. Let's go to the next level. I'm curious what it will be like. 】
"…!"
Arash smiled when he saw the news that Li Yuxuan hoped for.
He has been stuck on level 10 for two months.
It's great to be able to gain so much star power that he has decisively surpassed other challengers, but ultimately, his goal is to complete the final level.
It's time to keep climbing.
Most other protoss agree that level 10 has become boring.
"Okay, stars, I will go to the final gate of the 10th floor!"
The preparation process is quick.
He knows every detail of the 10th floor, and his level is quite high, so there is no danger.
In fact, he was worried that the final pass would become boring because it was too easy.
"It would be great if I received the mission at the last moment."
With this complacent thought, Arash reached the final pass on the 10th floor.
【Beep! Another challenger is taking on the final hurdle. 】
【Please come back tomorrow! 】
Then……
[Passed the final hurdle of the 10th floor for the first time! 】
[Challengers: Sajun, Jessul, Giroud, Mewa. 】
[Level 11 has been opened. 】
In front of Arash are four familiar figures who managed to pass the final hurdle before him.
They were bruised and tearful, hugging each other and breathing heavily.
Seeing them, Arash had many questions.
"when?"
"So fast?"
"What's their level?"
His mind was filled with all kinds of questions, but the reality was right in front of him.
"Before me, four challengers have successfully passed the 10th level."
He felt a little uneasy.
However, he has been here for two months.
There's plenty of time for other challengers to get here.
As a stunned Arash tried to understand the situation, a message appeared on the channel, giving him no chance.
[New Year Porridge Yuan: Huh... So the person over there is now number one? 】
[New Year’s Porridge: Huh? They just reached level 11, right? I'm going to give them a mission there. 】
Arash firmly believes that he is the best.
His level, blessings, skills, proficiency, etc. are all much higher than others.
However…
What good will it all do in the end if he starts falling behind on levels?
"no no…!"
Seeing the information about New Year's porridge balls, other protoss also began to waver.
Those of them who only seek happiness also want to know what is happening on the 11th floor now.
They are also curious about what kind of tasks the New Year Porridge Ball will give.
"Once a level is cleared, other challengers must wait a day."
In other words, the protoss who are currently watching his channel may be snatched away by those four challengers in one day.
He couldn't let this happen.
"It might be a little dangerous, but..."
Arash looked up, eyes wide.
No protoss has left his channel yet.
Now was his last chance to keep them.
"Star spirits, please wait a moment. Do you want to see the most interesting live broadcast?"
All the protoss said yes.
Arash laughed and said confidently.
"Then, watch me use the 'helicopter system'!"
[Red Melody Destiny: What? Helicopter? Are you serious? 】
[Brick falls down the ladder: Wow...! Something new again? 】
[Call me three times before you get through: Sounds like fun! I've never seen a Challenger use a helicopter system! 】
The reaction of the protoss became enthusiastic again.
Of course.
Helicopter system.
This system can advance two levels in a single challenge, making it nearly impossible to complete due to its "extreme difficulty."
For example, if you use the helicopter system on the tenth level to advance two levels, the difficulty will be the sum of the tenth and eleventh levels.
And you don't get extra rewards, you can only climb faster than others...
So, who would use this method?
However.
The current Arash is possible.
Since he stayed on the tenth floor for a long time, his level and equipment were high enough to challenge the twelfth and thirteenth floors.
[Use helicopter system. 】
【Do you want to climb two floors at once? 】
"yes!"
[The helicopter system has been activated. 】
[Go to the final pass. 】
Feeling the change in vision, Arash had a firm expression and gripped the sword tightly.
The real battle begins now.
…
[Successfully used the helicopter system to clear the tenth and eleventh floors. 】
Using the helicopter system was much easier and more fun than Arash imagined.
In the eyes of others, he used his wit.
He demonstrated his various skills, items, and unusual ideas for a helicopter system that had never been used before.
Although it seemed like an impossible task to face two bosses at the same time and defeat them, Arash never backed down.
Even when meteorites started falling from the sky, he didn't panic.
It was truly a perfect performance and result.
After defeating all the monsters and BOSS, he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and took a deep breath.
Then, he shouted: "Ah!!!"
Trembling with excitement, he thought it couldn't get any better.
[Helicopter success! The twelfth floor is open. 】
[Extra reward for the first challenger to successfully use the helicopter system! 】
With countless achievements comes a lot of star power.
But more importantly, he was excited about the protoss' positive reaction.
[Eternal Prisoner sponsors 500 star power. 】
[The running cow is as crazy as the horse: It’s really crazy! 】
[My own burning heart sponsors 2000 star power. 】
[Thousand-year-old ginseng: I get goosebumps when I look at it! What a great warrior! 】
[The falling moon on the ground sponsors 1500 star power. 】
Arash looked at the steady stream of news and was speechless.
He trembled.
"Ah...yes. That's it."
He feels that the meaning of living is to gain the attention of the stars.
Yes, small setbacks can be overcome this way.
Realization dawned on him.
"I'm the protagonist."
A secret that even the protoss doesn't know.
Know everything about this world.
A unique existence.
[Go to the 12th floor, Starry Sky Subway]
【Enter the safe zone and recover all damage and fatigue. 】
After waking up, Arash reached the 12th floor.
This is a place with beautiful starry night views.
There is also a subway running across it.
Here again he plays an active role.
This is the plan…
[New Year’s Porridge Balls: So interesting. Show me again. 】
[New Year Porridge Yuan sponsors 50,000 star power. 】
"…Um?"
50,000?
He wondered if he had seen it wrong, but he hadn't.
Really, he received a huge bonus of 50,000 star power.
Whatever the Protoss is, Star Power is an energy that gives them influence, so they never give much.
"what happened…?"
The happiness only lasted for a moment, and then he felt something was wrong.
"Show you again? What?"
The anxiety rising in his chest made him want to speak, but another message preceded him.
[New Year's Porridge: I have deposited a mission deposit for you. This time let’s try going straight to the third floor. If you succeed, 200,000 star power is yours. How about it? 】
immediately.
The chat group exploded.
Other protoss became excited and began sponsoring.
[Golden Current Man sponsors 5,000 star power. 】
[Golden Current Man: I also need to deposit a deposit! If you succeed, I'll give you 10,000! 】
[Claw Woman sponsors 3000 star power. 】
[Claw Woman: If you succeed, I will give you 5,000. How about it? 】
[Those who fight with their stomachs sponsor 7,000 star power. 】
[Those who fight with their stomachs: My heart is like fire! Nothing is more exciting than impossible challenges! 】
[Still Death Man sponsors 2500 star power. 】
Endless star power.
The protoss all hope so.
They want to feel that excitement again.
To meet impossible challenges.
but…
"I will die."
If Arash accepts this mission, he will undoubtedly die.
It is impossible for the protoss not to know this fact.
Still, they wanted Arash to accept the challenge.
"this…
[Xingmu sponsors 2000 star power. 】
"impossible…"
[The Glittering Gem in the Dark sponsors 4,000 star power. 】
Arash knew why.
"Because it's fun."
Arash then realized.
The protoss didn't like him.
He is just their "toy".
It's fun to watch him.
That's why they're still on his channel.
emotion?
It's probably less fun than watching a hamster run on a wheel.
Watch the low-level creatures throwing melon seeds everywhere and struggling when they are in a good mood.
Just value at that level.
If their hamster gets sick and dies, it will be injured, but…
They can buy another hamster.
"I am nothing…"
Arash's hands trembled.
This is because the eyes of the protoss put pressure on him.

died.
Definitely dead.
[New Year’s Porridge: You don’t want to accept it? 】
But know this fact.
"...I accept the mission."
He had no choice but to accept it.
