Chapter 42 Surging Beyond Limit, 500 Kills!

Lin Kong decided not to recruit soldiers just yet and would do so at the base later. "Let's head to the trading market in St. Ke City first and dispose of the unnecessary equipment," he thought, making his plan.

He sold the equipment designated for soldiers, along with other materials and items, to NPC merchants, earning over 2,000 denomination coins. Afterward, he wandered through the market, purchasing 200 [Stone Thorn] skill books for a total of 80,000 denomination coins.

These skill books primarily came from the Rockhorn Deer. Professionals knew the characteristics of the monsters, and they found places to farm life crystals, gaining other rewards along the way. Lin Kong devoured all the skill books at once.

[Your archery gets effect 16: The arrow is attached with a stone thorn, causing 482 points of earth-based magic damage.]

The damage was decent, making it effective against ordinary monsters. "It's nighttime, and I need to get my last death benefit today," he thought, heading toward the Yongguang Forest outside the city.

Following the principle of no waste, he found a pack of level 12 C-rank white wolves again.

"Ow!!" The white wolves charged at him, biting into Lin Kong's body.

-1013! -1031! -1013! ...

After 17 seconds, his health was zero.

[Ding! To trigger the death gift, please specify the resurrection location.]

"In situ." He stood up from the ground, fully healed.

[Ding, you get the benefit: "Surge beyond the limit," refresh the effect after leaving this world.]

[Exceeded Surge: Every time a skill is released, the range of any attack increases by 100%, and the duration increases by 100%. Both are capped at 1000%. Cleared after the war.]

"Hey! This effect is something else!" Lin Kong exclaimed. "If it can increase the attack range of the Holy Apocalypse by 10 times, it would be ridiculously powerful!"

After reading the introduction, his mind buzzed with excitement. He needed a place with no people to test this effect. Lin Kong opened the map and selected the plain north of Sank as his testing ground. There were no monsters, and going forward 80 kilometers was the dark gate, the enemy's base camp. Professionals from the same camp wouldn't venture there to court death.

The perfect testing ground.

He began attacking.

General attack!

Shoot with precision!

Frost Shot!

Lin Kong fired three arrows with his crossbow.

[You trigger an over-limit surge, attack range and duration +100%.]

The Frost Arrows disappeared from sight. He glanced at the battle prompt. The attack range of Frost Shot was now 596 meters. After casting 10 skills, the general attack range reached 3278 meters!

"Time to test the big move!" Lin Kong mobilized his mana and displayed the Lei Lin Strike!

Boom! Lightning roared incessantly. A thunder unicorn, over 50 meters tall, emerged and charged forward wildly. This rush covered 4379 meters! Over four kilometers!

Lin Kong grew more and more excited about the potential of the "Holy Apocalypse."

"One last test." He had already attacked more than ten times, and the real damage of the rail gun exceeded 15,000. He immediately showed the effect, selecting a location 30 kilometers away.

Holy Revelation!

In an instant, a circular space crack with a diameter of 1100 meters appeared in the sky.

Boom—

It was like divine retribution. The dazzling beam of light, 10,000 meters tall and 1,100 meters in diameter, descended upon the world. Hundreds of kilometers away, people saw this shocking scene.

[Hint: If you kill the professional "N004880," the elf kingdom points +3.]

[Hint: ...]

[Hint: ...]

In an instant, countless kill notifications refreshed on his panel.

50 kills! 100 kills! 200 kills! ...

The head count skyrocketed.

Lin Kong: "..."

He felt a question mark above his head.

"This... what happened? Did the hostile faction happen to launch an operation at night?" Lin Kong couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was pure luck, a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

The system prompts continued.

[Because the number of kills reaches 50, you get a reward: 5 free attribute points.]

[Because the number of kills reaches 400, you get a reward: 40 free attribute points, B-rank medal +1.]

In an instant, Lin Kong killed 523 people, achieving the fourth stage kill achievement in one fell swoop. He had unlocked the fifth stage kill achievement of 800 kills in the C-tier world, gaining 75 stat points.

It was six o'clock before.

He allocated his points with 61 in strength and 20 in agility.

Physical attack: 999

Attack Speed: 8.91/s

"It's a pity the distance was too far, and I couldn't get the kill reward," Lin Kong sighed. However, today's event was a complete surprise. He didn't mind missing out on the rewards.

Lin Kong turned and headed back to St. Croix.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the plain, thousands of top professionals from the Dark World camp had united. They planned to raid the area around St. Kee at night, creating a wave of killings to weaken the power of the Elf Kingdom. Many professionals were still farming life crystals in the wild.

"With the SSS-level detection talent of "Ming Jiu," this mission will be a success!" they were confident.

The professional known as "Ming Jiu" smiled, "I'm just an assistant; the battle depends on you."

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

Seeing this, the others asked, "What's wrong?"

"There's an enemy 30 kilometers away," he responded suspiciously.

"Hahaha, just one person? We'll take him down easily!" Everyone laughed.

Boom—

All of a sudden, divine retribution descended!

The entire world was plunged into a pure white world where nothing could be seen. The scorching energy annihilated everything!

As the light dissipated, there was a dark abyss ahead. A sinkhole, 1,100 meters in diameter and 50 meters deep, lay before them. Hundreds of companions had vaporized instantly.

The survivors stared blankly at the scene, hearing notifications of their teammates being killed. Their bodies shook slightly.

"Retreat! Retreat!!!"

"How can there be such a terrifying professional on the other side?!"

The crowd fled in horror. "This world is too dangerous! Complete the first main quest and settle it immediately!"

In their hearts, they all shared this thought.

Y001250

This number was deeply imprinted in their minds.
