Here, Xu Shu was still speechless about how truly unsightly and useless this title was.

On the other side, although the “Server-wide Announcement” for ranking up had already come through, it was directly topped by a stream of replies.

“So many people commented?”

Xu Shu clicked to take a look, curious to see what these Transcendent netizens thought about a newcomer like him who had just entered the rankings.

After scanning through a few comments.

Xu Shu’s eyes gradually widened: …

“A First-tier Warrior killed a Second Order Sentinel?

From eight hundred meters away?

Is that sentinel trash, raised on shit?” — Emperor Master.

“Brother Gu Pan!

Add me as a friend, I’m single, look at me look at me!” — Can Bite Bananas, Second Order Witch.

“Warrior big bro~ love you, add me.” — Anna, First-tier veterinarian.

“I, Ali, officially like the big muscle bully!

Brother Gu Pan, hurry and add me as a friend, I’m super good at healing, Haya Koo Haya Koo!” — Ali, Third-tier Fallen Apostle.

“Awesome, to rank up at First Rank, I remember the last time this happened was, well, the last time!” — Like So, Second Order Chess Master.

“Brother Gu Pan, you’re so amazing~ Can you save a friend spot for me?

I’m so pitiful, all I have are my 36D milk tanks and nothing else.” — Pink Bunny, Second Order Witch.

“Warrior big bro, don’t be tricked by the cheap women of the Mother Goddess Sect, they’re super bad and just want to suck you dry, not like me, I’d only cherish you~” — Feifei Global Can Fly, Second Order Fallen Nun.

“Add me, I can do the splits, get it?” — Anonymous, Second Order Fallen Nun.

“Only strong men can create miracles!

I wish I had a Warrior big bro to accompany me, add me, from now on my milk is for Warrior big bro alone!” — Spider Qie, Second Order Witch.

“Help, women of these two professions are all crazy, don’t be fooled, I suggest joining the Medicine King Valley, only here can you find pure and decent women.” — Nangong Sese, Second Order Witch.

“Damn, so many sluts!

Scram, hurting my eyes!” — Xie Xiao Chan, Second Order Seven-Colored Taoist.

“Young talent to be feared, avoid arrogance and rashness, the future is long, keep working hard!” — Chen Huang, First Order Genius.

“Some women are just delusional in their pursuit of Dao and demons, unwilling to reflect on their true nature.

Renunciates should not speak falsely, Gu Pan, add me!

This humble nun is willing to assist you!” — Leng Mingxiao, Second Order Ascetic Master.

…

“Ah, this this this…”

He saw that among the relatively normal comments, which were few and far between, a huge number openly flirted, wanting to add friends or deliberately acting cute and saucy.

“Damn it, damn it, the world has really fallen so low; I hadn’t expected such degradation from Ascend Network!”

Xu Shu was dumbfounded, feeling it was just too much.

He thought he was twisted enough, but he’d only dare to indulge in secretive titillation in virtual places like Legends/Journey, sneaking some thrills for himself.

In reality, I’m a gentleman through and through, no doubt about it!

And here these people were, shamelessly using such lewd language under the broad daylight?

Too much, truly, a sign of declining morals and lost tradition!

Are Post-Apocalypse Era women all so open-minded?

I heard that after adding friends, you could also spend Contribution to send video files through private messages.

Just the text alone was so explicit, what would happen if videos came into play?

That would be the death of me, oh boy!

Remember, the grave of heroes lies in the pleasures of love; if everyone yearns only for beauty, how can we fight monsters?

A truly mature man must renounce lust for women!

Women are but stumbling blocks on the path to becoming stronger!

As a strong man, you should trample them firmly underfoot!

…

[You are attempting to add a friend: Feifei Global Can Fly, Second Order Fallen Nun…]

[You do not have permission, please upgrade to level 12 before performing this operation.]

…

“Uh…”

Too much, really too much!

Xu Shu righteously closed the webpage,

I can’t look anymore, it’s all so un-nutritious.

If I keep reading, I won’t be able to sleep tonight!

Xu Shu spread his legs, maintaining the same position, lying sprawled out on his back in a “米” shape, sinking into light sleep.

…

…

As the night deepened, the Patrol Soldiers gradually fell asleep as well.

Even though a day had passed, the impact of losing half their number had been profound on their spirits.

Despite their attempts to laugh and curse to lighten the mood, those were just a facade, still needing time to soothe their inner turmoil.

The moon crowned the small building as the night grew thicker.

One by one, bizarre-shaped creatures slowly crawled out from the unknown depths of the earth and every dim and hidden corner.

They lay or sprawled, quietly bathing in the moonlight.

Silent and still.

The moon sank like water.

On the rooftop of the high-rise building, in a neglected corner surrounded by concrete and rock.

There lay Lu Bingwei’s mutilated, headless corpse, exposed under the moonlight.

— After death, Transcendents are usually cremated, supposedly to preserve human dignity and prevent their bodies from being devoured by monsters post-mortem.

However, Xu Shu neither knew nor cared about this rule, so he simply discarded the body.

Though freshly dead, the corpse’s surface was streaked with black lines and covered with blotches reminiscent of postmortem lividity.

Under the moonlight, the “lividity” on the skin’s surface burst open like small sores, oozing as if leaking pus or emitting smoke, slowly releasing something into the air.

It appeared to be a human-shaped incense burner.

Eerie and tranquil.

The rustle of subtle movement approached.

One after another, tiny bat-like creatures with fierce, blood-red eyes flew in from the darkness.

They began to gnaw on Lu Bingwei, quickly masticating him until he was a bloody, indistinguishable mess.

Various grotesque carrion-feasting creatures, drawn by the scent, scuttled towards the feast with a crunch and a scuttle.

Snakes, worms, rats, ants, and more, each exhibiting various degrees of mutation.

They were all weak, gathering around the corpse, indulging in a voracious feast.

Among them, a human was also mixed in.

His hair was a mess like straw, his upper body muscular while his lower half was wrapped in layers of rotting mud, some of which had fused with the muscles in his shins and stretched out into gray-white strands.

That rotting flesh-covered monster continually wriggled behind him—this was Nagou·Little Demon!

Xu Shu had fought a tough battle with it in that tunnel!

At this moment, this strange Abyss Creature seemed grotesque, as if it wanted to merge with the man on the ground.

The man, like the other small creatures, hunched over the headless corpse, voraciously nibbling away.

Crunch!

Crunch!

He wolfed down the flesh of his kind, his whites of his eyes becoming increasingly scarce, overtaken by blackness, as though it wouldn’t be long before it was completely filled in.

Under his ragged, bloodstained clothes, two unidentifiable swellings the size of a baby’s head bulged on his shoulders, slowly writhing.

And yet, no monster dared to howl its existence.

All was silent, but for the sound of swallowing.

Darkness, seemingly without end.

…

…

Ding!

The following morning, as the clock reached exactly six o’clock.

Dawn had arrived, the faint glow of daybreak tearing through the night.

Xu Shu suddenly sat bolt upright, having roughly adjusted his biological clock over the past few days—he would wake up on time, of course, albeit restlessly.

In such a place, one would indeed be surprised to have a good night’s sleep.

Fortunately, the sun rose as usual for another day!

[The rising sun heralds the revival of all things, welcome back to the Tai Chu Scroll, oh great master.]

[Remaining uses for today: 3/3]

[You may freely choose between the following two modes:]

[Legendary Mode]

[Journey Mode]

Heh heh!

Xu Shu rubbed his hands in the air in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face.

He had waited all night long, and finally, the refresh of his counts had come, dissipating the unease in his heart.

What semblance of safety could this damned prison possibly offer?

How could it compare to the three “resurrection coins” brought by the Tai Chu Scroll?

“I’m already Level 8, it’s time to reap that cursed Little Demon and the three human-headed griffins, the time for revenge has come.”

“Tai Chu Scroll, Journey Mode!”
