Monsters Are Coming
Chapter 72 - 67: Trust me, it’s in the bag.

Chapter 72: Chapter 67: Trust me, it’s in the bag.

With an idea in mind, Lu Xing decided to trust once more.

Before that, he needed to purchase a batch of Spiritual Bombs to make ample preparations for the challenge.

In order to buy them, he first had to find a member of the Arms Merchant Guild; this player called Weapon Master was clearly one of them.

After opening the other party’s profile page, he chose to send a friend request.

Soon the friend request was accepted, and a chat window popped up in front of Lu Xing.

Weapon Master: Brother figured it out? Rest assured, my strategy is absolutely effective, and it’s been battle-tested. I can sell you Spiritual Bombs at cost, only 100 sacrificial power points each.

Seeing the reply, Lu Xing wondered:

Explorer: Selling them to me at cost, what’s in it for you?

Weapon Master: Cut the crap, don’t you have any idea what players in your live stream are after? Of course, I want you to capture the Qi Die as soon as possible and share the Wind-Controlling Soul.

Explorer: Is that important to you?

Weapon Master: Of course, the Wind-Controlling Soul is the perfect Star Vein match I’ve been dreaming of. Before this, there was always one problem that troubled me: as the explosive power of the Spiritual Bombs kept increasing, how to avoid being affected by the blast. I considered pairing up with a Defensive Soul, or finding a Soul that could be thrown from a distance... until the Qi Die appeared, and I found my answer.

Explorer: Tell me more.

Weapon Master: It’s simple, the Wind-Controlling Soul can fly, while my chosen Eagle-Headed Demon Soul can only glide, unable to fly for long periods. If I obtain the Wind-Controlling Soul, I can perfectly solve this problem. Then I’ll transform into a bomber on the battlefield in my Main Form, drop Spiritual Bombs from high altitude and bomb a large area below without worrying about the blast reaching me....

Lu Xing’s conversation with Weapon Master made it clear why he was willing to sell the Spiritual Bombs at cost.

The reason was that Weapon Master saw the Wind-Controlling Soul as the perfect solution to his own shortcomings, which would allow the full power of the Spiritual Bombs to be unleashed.

In the end, Lu Xing spent 500 sacrificial power points to buy 5 Second Generation Spiritual Bombs.

The price gave Lu Xing quite a headache, but thinking that if he could kill the Qi Die, he would gain tens of thousands of sacrificial power points in rewards, possibly even a hundred thousand, he felt the investment was worthwhile.

With the Spiritual Bombs in hand, Lu Xing didn’t go straight away but returned to Imperial Tomb Village to enter the test tower and start a simulation of the explosion test.

Triggering the explosion of a Spiritual Bomb requires consciousness, which Lu Xing perceived as somewhat difficult.

A Spiritual Bomb was priced at 100 sacrificial power points; he didn’t want to waste it.

Using the test tower’s Simulation Space only cost 1 sacrificial power point. During the usage, items from one’s Space Bag could be copied and used in simulation tests without any actual loss.

Half an hour later.

Lu Xing, now able to extend his Perception and successfully detonate Spiritual Bombs, set off on his journey to challenge the Qi Die.

Upon hearing this news, players flooded into Lu Xing’s live stream, each one offering encouragement and support:

Dark Lands is really fun: Dude, you finally manned up. The way you were acting scared before was really annoying. With the grand mission of capturing the Wind-Controlling Soul for all players on your shoulders, how could you retreat? Go for it!

Happy Hamster Party: As a fully capable man, your victory isn’t about overpowering everything after leveling up, but about having the courage to face challenges and difficulties when you’re at your weakest. Each failure is a lesson for you and will make you stronger. You’ve understood the true essence; keep it up.

Immortal Warrior: Your generation is just too delicate. A little setback and you think about giving up. In our generation, when we played virtual games, it was normal to get beaten up. Back then, virtual games were seen by parents as distractions that would confuse reality with the game, so we not only got beaten up in the game, but also in real life. Still, we got through it. Being beaten up by monsters is nothing embarrassing.

Daoist: Go for it, brother Explorer! I’m entrusting my dream of Flight to you. I believe you’ll succeed. I don’t have much sacrificial power, but here’s a little bit to help you succeed (Donation: 5 sacrificial power points)

...

The number of viewers in the live stream continued to grow, with the audience full of anticipation for Lu Xing’s challenge.

Lu Xing’s previous failures had turned him into a laughing stock, and many expressive images of Lu Xing getting beaten had been circulated in forums.

But behind the players’ teasing, they still hoped that Lu Xing would overcome the Qi Die.

Because Lu Xing’s success would add a new, extremely powerful Fourth Generation Soul option to the Life Soul Library for all players to use.

Compared to other Life Souls, the Wind-Controlling Soul excels in attack, defense, control, and flight, and is considered one of the most practical Life Souls by many players who choose the Monster Stream growth path.

After an hour and a half journey, traversing the Ancient Battlefield, Lu Xing arrived at his destination.

Stormwave Lagoon.

Gazing across the lagoon at the bushes on the other side, he saw a pair of familiar, huge eyes.

Their gazes met, and Qi Die leaped out from the bushes, raising its head to look at Lu Xing, with arrogance written all over its face.

"Come here, watch me not blow you to bits."

Knowing that Qi Die has a strong sense of reconnaissance, Lu Xing didn’t take out the Spiritual Bomb right away, planning to wait for it to get close before finding an opportunity to detonate it.

Just as he anticipated, Qi Die fluttered its wings, skimming the water’s surface and stirring up a strong wave on Stormwave Lagoon, charging at him with overwhelming momentum.

Despite not using long-range weapons, Qi Die still chose to combat him in close quarters.

Seeing the arrogance in Qi Die’s eyes brought back memories of the beating he took, his heart thumped wildly, and he was extremely nervous.

Just when Qi Die was less than twenty meters from him, within the effective range of the Spiritual Bomb, Lu Xing quickly took out five Spiritual Bombs from his Space Bag.

Flying Qi Die also sensed strong energy fluctuations erupting from the Crystal Stone in Lu Xing’s hands at that moment.

"Ha ha ha, die!"

Seeing the fear in Qi Die’s eyes, Lu Xing happily chuckled, knowing the moment of revenge had finally arrived.

In a few seconds, he would no longer be the laughing stock but would become a hero talked about by players on the forums. His name would forever be added to the introduction information of the "Wind-Controlling" Life Souls in the Star Vein Library for future newcomers to admire.

I will become a legend, explode for me!

Blinding white light burst from Lu Xing’s hands.

But just as Lu Xing was on the verge of victory, Qi Die, now close-up, violently flapped its wings, enveloping the Spiritual Bombs in his hands with a fierce gale.

An overwhelming pulling force came, and Lu Xing couldn’t hold onto the Spiritual Bombs at all.

The bombs were swept up into the sky by the gale.

Boom!

The Spiritual Bombs exploded dozens of meters above Lu Xing’s head, the residual wind pressure pushing him backward several steps.

Eh?!

Looking at the startled Qi Die, Lu Xing’s expression turned very ugly.

He instinctively took a deep breath, looking at the Qi Die which was almost overflowing with rage in its eyes:

"I’m not sure if you can understand human speech... but if you can, I hope you don’t act immediately, let me explain..."

At this moment, in the live-streaming room, the spectators who guessed Lu Xing’s upcoming fate had already started mocking him with memes.

Dark Night Will Come: The Wind Control’s trait is too strong, it can even be used to disarm; this Life Soul is too perfect, I really want it, too bad it failed again.

Weapon Master: (Explorer with a swollen nose and blue face.jpg) Predicting the upcoming lines after the beating, one must include: Stop hitting me, please I’m begging you to stop. (funny.jpg)

Today I Screw Up: (Explorer curled up and taking a hit.jpg) As long as I curl up, I can reduce the points of impact, Qi Die’s crazy beatings, just curl up like this, hey, at the very least I can take 30 fewer hits, I’m so smart.

Happy Hamster Party: (Explorer pitifully wiping tears) I’ve placed my bets, everyone guess how long the Explorer can hold back the tears, I bet 10 minutes.

Beaver, right?: At this moment, I wish to recite a poem for the Explorer: Qi Die has ridiculed me for several years, what’s the fear of another few years, year after year it ridicules, adding up, how many years is it? (funny.jpg)

...

Amidst the laughter and cheers of the live-streaming spectators, Lu Xing began his torment that lasted for over twenty painful minutes.
