Chapter 364: Chapter 373: Max Level Characters Also Get Bullied!

Chen Tingquan’s expression froze, and only after a moment did he react, angrily criticizing, "How preposterous!"

As a strong hero who had already cleared the game once, how could he tolerate this?

He must regain his dignity!

Although the hero had not yet activated the various abilities of Earth Wind Water Fire, he still mastered high-end combat skills like Perfect Dodge and Shield Parry.

Chen Tingquan felt that his performance just now was not up to par because he was unfamiliar with the monster’s moves, which is why he rolled right into an arrow.

It wasn’t that his skills were lacking.

And speaking of which, how could that thing shoot five arrows at once? That’s absolutely unethical in combat!

"Fine! Since this thing’s ranged attack power is so outrageous, I’ll engage in close combat with it!"

Chen Tingquan quickly devised a new battle strategy.

For such an enemy, it was implausible to fight at long range, especially since the hero had not yet obtained a bow and arrow, and even if he had, drawing a bow made him very cumbersome and less agile in dodging incoming arrows.

Fighting up close, move by move and maximizing the use of Perfect Dodge to counterattack, seemed like the best solution.

This time, Chen Tingquan smartened up; he first picked up an axe for chopping wood from a nearby stump and then went to Lake Heart Island not far away to grab a one-handed sword.

These two weapons, which were the highest in attack power that a player could get near Newbie Village in the early stages and also had much higher durability than typical monster weapons, were essentially a beginner’s blessing left by the officials.

First-time players could easily miss them, but for seasoned players like Chen Tingquan, finding these two weapons was as natural as reaching for house keys when coming home.

He challenged again, this time with full confidence!

Ten minutes later, Chen Tingquan was defeated for the fourth time resulting in GAME OVER.

"Darn it!"

Chen Tingquan was completely speechless. After four overconfident challenges, he finally realized something—the Beast God was indeed not someone he could afford to provoke at the moment!

Initially, Chen Tingquan thought the Beast God was just fast and fierce with the bow, deluding himself that getting closer would grant him victory.

But it turned out that up close, the Beast God was even more brutal!

This Beast God switched between two melee weapons: one was the powerful and highly damaging Two-handed Sword, and the other was a long spear with extremely fast attack speed and long reach.

The advantages of these two weapons were only relative; the sword was shorter than the spear, and the spear dealt less damage than the sword.

But both could overpower the axe and one-handed sword in the hero’s hands, both in terms of attack reach and damage.

The hero controlled by Chen Tingquan was like a rag doll, being relentlessly slashed by the Beast God.

"I’m really at my wit’s end; what kind of ridiculous Master Mod is this? Even if it’s Master Mode, it shouldn’t vex the player like this!"

"Just wait, I’ll switch to my main account!"

Defiant, Chen Tingquan, after dying once again, directly loaded his previous main account save.

Master Mod did not force players to start a new game; that pop-up at the beginning of the game was just a suggestion.

At first, Chen Tingquan thought about starting a new game for some excitement, but now the Beast God’s two-handed sword had cooled him down.

At this moment, Chen Tingquan had only one thought—to pull out the infinitely durable Sword of the Brave and teach this beast a lesson!

Switching back to the previous save, Chen Tingquan checked his equipment.

Yes, very good, this is indeed the strongest state for a hero!

Weapons, besides the infinitely durable Sword of the Brave, included various top-level weapons from the Demon King’s army.

The armor he wore was part of a set, achieving a perfect balance between defensive power and attack power.

After popping some more potions to further boost his attributes,

Chen Tingquan confidently teleported back near Newbie Village and once again engaged in fierce battle with the Beast Clan War God.

Three minutes later, Chen Tingquan stared at the "GAME OVER" on his screen and fell into deep thought again.

Wait a minute, what just happened?

Chen Tingquan only remembered gearing up his max-level god-tier account to challenge the Beast God, but what was the outcome?

It seemed there was no difference from his new account!

Of course, if he had to point out a difference, the max-level account definitely had much higher defensive power and could take more hits.

Plus, he had a lot of blood medicine that could completely refill his health, so he was able to hold out much longer.

But it seemed to only please the Beast God even more!

The few minutes were basically a montage of the Hero being ruthlessly beaten. The Beast Clan War God first shot the Hero down with arrows, then the Mount Wolf swiftly arrived, and with a swing of the Two-handed Sword, tossed the Hero into the air like flipping a spoon, then upon landing, the wolf stomped and sent the Hero flying once again, followed by the Beast God who switched to a spear to relentlessly stab him in mid-air, looking like a chef skewering kebabs.

Chen Tingquan was of course not willing to give up. He wanted to resist and had practiced a lot of techniques such as Perfect Dodge and Shield Counter, but when he actually wanted to use them, something was wrong!

The Beast God’s moves were not like those of other monsters he had faced before; they were very fast and had a very short wind-up, hard to adapt to!

Moreover, this creature had an incredibly thick Blood Bar, moved very agilely, and its strong attacks could nearly wipe out the Hero’s health in one go.

Chen Tingquan struggled bitterly, consuming all the blood medicine in his backpack, and only managed to reduce it to about a third of its health.

Of course, he also didn’t forget to use his special abilities like Time Stop.

But Time Stop was useless on the Beast God!

The entire Time Stop lasted less than half a second; the time lock was already shattered, and the Hero could hardly get in a hit without it disrupting his own attack rhythm, leaving him open for the Beast God to strike back harder.

"Forget it, forget it, this must be the mod creator’s twisted sense of humor, right? Putting the toughest boss in Newbie Village on purpose.

"Let’s go check out the other monsters."

Chen Tingquan, still undeterred, embarked on his journey across Fantasy Continent again.

Half an hour later, he fell into even deeper despair.

Almost all the minor monsters in the game had changed!

Of course, when we say "changed," it involved some minor tweaks, like changing their skins, enhancing their attributes, and adding some special moves, etc.

But overall, almost all the minor monsters in the game had become much stronger!

The camps that Chen Tingquan used to clear with his eyes closed, he could now easily wipe out on accident!

Especially those high-level monsters with silver or golden skins—the damage they dealt was bafflingly high, making Chen Tingquan’s max-level armor seem as if it were made of paper, easily shattered upon contact.

Even the Beast God in Newbie Village was considered the lowest level among all the Beast Gods on the map.

Later, the Silver Beast God and the Golden Beast God tortured Chen Tingquan even more ruthlessly!

After randomly selecting a few spots on the map, using the relics to travel and fighting some minor monsters,

Chen Tingquan couldn’t help but fall into deep thought again.

"Is this still the Fantasy Continent I know?

"If even maxed-out accounts are this miserable, will new players even play this game?!"
