Chapter 52 A Diminished Version of the Book of Life and Death!
"The appearance of this red-named player has put our Dragon Nation section ahead of the global curve, granting us an additional three hundred bronze equipment items and three thousand free attribute points.""His greatness is beyond description. I strongly suggest that once the task is completed, we let him leave the city. He might continue to bring us benefits in the future.""With this, we pay tribute to our great red-named player!!"After editing the content, Lin Tianhao sent it out. He had no choice. He was genuinely worried that some overzealous players might catch him and mercilessly slaughter him, which would be a headache.However, what Lin Tianhao didn't know was that major clubs, financial groups, and the government had all convened emergency meetings."I believe you've all noticed that this red-named player has over four hundred thousand health points. At this stage, even our Special Forces' bronze-set shield warriors only have a little over fifty thousand health points.""Moreover, his million red name value likely stems from some heinous acts, such as... destroying the newbie village and killing the NPCs there.""This is a strong possibility. With almost zero resistance, his ability to kill the NPCs in the newbie village probably means he has extremely high damage output.""High health, high damage—his potential is enormous. Once this task is over, we must recruit him into our ranks."...The conclusion of the discussions among the major forces was the same.Lin Tianhao's potential was immense and worth courting.However, it wasn't unanimous.Some factions believed that with his current red name value, it would be extremely difficult to clear it before his second or even third transfer. Any future death would reset his level to one and strip him of all his equipment, rendering all his efforts futile.The further he progressed, the harder it would be to level up. With each death, he would lose more levels due to his red name value. A million red name value was unimaginable....In the rental apartment, after posting his message, Lin Tianhao chose to log back in. Once online, he ignored the players surrounding him. Let them kill him; it had no substantial impact on him. Moreover, killing him would help these players gain rewards, effectively strengthening the Dragon Nation section. It wasn't something he couldn't accept.He logged in this time to submit a quest."Ding, you have completed the quest 'Unleashing the Drought Corpse.' Quest reward: +50 free attribute points, Blessing of the Gods +1."Lin Tianhao took a deep breath. "Use the Blessing of the Gods."The last death cycle was a god-tier blessing."Ding, you have received the Blessing of the Gods...""Due to your high red name value, the blessing has changed.""Ding, you have received the blessing of the Earth Mother..."Just like last time, a dark red beam descended from the sky, enveloping Lin Tianhao."Ding, you have obtained the Book of Life and Death."Lin Tianhao: ???The Book of Life and Death?This... this must be an incredibly powerful artifact!Every Dragon Nation citizen knew the might of the Book of Life and Death. It was just unknown how this version compared to the one from the myths.Book of Life and Death: Divine Equipment.Requirements: Limited to the Emperor of Blood, cannot be dropped, gifted, transferred, or traded.Effect: You can write the name of any existing being (limited to one person) on the Book of Life and Death. The person whose name is written will suffer 10,000 plus one percent of your maximum health as true damage per second, until death.Durability: Indestructible.Indeed!This was a weakened version of the Book of Life and Death.However, even so, it was incredibly powerful.As long as you knew the name, you could attack remotely.The base damage per second was ten thousand, plus one percent of your maximum health.This add-on might not be significant for other players, but for Lin Tianhao, it was a game-changer.With his current health pool of over four hundred thousand, one percent was over four thousand.And he could continue to increase his maximum health in the future.Moreover, this equipment was only moderately useful for other players because it had a limitation: you needed to write a name.As a reborn player, Lin Tianhao knew the names of most bosses from his previous life.This meant he could remotely hunt these bosses.Especially...Lin Tianhao thought of some interesting strategies, a sardonic smile creeping onto his face.As Lin Tianhao was examining these details, the bounty task finally ended. The players gradually dispersed, but a few remained.One of them stepped forward and said indifferently, "Hello, I'm Xiu Luo Yize from the Xiu Luo Guild. I wonder if you're interested in joining our guild? The terms are negotiable."As soon as he finished speaking, another voice chimed in, "Brother, come to our Jinghong Guild. We have plenty of beautiful ladies.""Get lost. Little brother, our Kuangzhan Guild is your best choice. Join us, and we'll help you clear your red name value."...The group began to argue noisily.Lin Tianhao rolled his eyes. "You guys didn't show any mercy when you were killing me just now."The group laughed awkwardly. "Brother, it's not our fault. You log out for a meal, and we get so much equipment and free attribute points. You didn't lose anything, did you?"Lin Tianhao waved his hand. "Alright, I had things to do offline anyway. Getting killed is like supporting the players of the Dragon Nation section. But I don't want to join any guild. I'm outta here."He didn't want to waste time with these people. He had much more important things to do next.Supporting Princess Leona to become the queen of the Star Kingdom!!This was extremely important!His future chances of becoming a god were closely tied to this.The sooner he helped Princess Leona ascend to the throne, the sooner he could gain the power of incense offerings.If he could obtain the power of incense offerings in the early game, when the great catastrophe came and the Alte System attacked, he would have much stronger power.The power of incense offerings was different from the attribute power.It was on a much higher level than attribute power.During the great catastrophe, Lin Tianhao had seen a strong person from the Alte System with the power of incense offerings, who used it to kill three nine-turn strong people with a single sword strike.That level of strength was terrifying!After leaving Blackwind City, Lin Tianhao walked towards a less crowded area.His red name value was so eye-catching, no matter where he went.It wasn't until he reached the territory of the twenty-level wild monster, the Green Poison Spider, that Lin Tianhao stopped.As soon as he stopped, the temperature around him dropped sharply.Lin Tianhao narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Princess Leona, you've finally come.""Watching me get ganked at the spring was entertaining?"Princess Leona gave a nonchalant smile. "What else? Can I help you? If I help you, the kingdom's ministers will label me as someone who aids the wicked.""How would I then compete for the throne?"Lin Tianhao waved his hand. "Alright, what do you want with me?"
