"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

Chapter 259 Passing By During a Typical Earthquake (shuhaige.net)

Li Changzhou wasn't very lucky; his promotions were too fast, and to this day, he still has three skills on his black card that aren't maxed out.

Besides the fact that white cards can directly plunder and upgrade skills, and he didn't want to waste game currency, the main reason was that he was unlucky and didn't encounter any skills that appealed to him.

"Just passing by during a normal earthquake," he thought to himself, then cursed "deadly flames" in his mind.

Wasting their "abilities" to force their arms to regenerate rapidly to show they weren't crippled, and then claiming they could set fires to prove their worth—these people are all incredibly cunning. Only the "steel-boned" guy who wanted to see his parents before he died was honest...

"I don't have any special skills, so I'll just be your shield and take some bullets!" 'Steel Bones' scratched the back of his head, looking rather simple and honest.

'Ordinary earthquake passerby' really wants to tell Li Changzhou about everything this guy did along the way, like crushing people alive along with their armor, so that the great god won't believe him!

"Great!" 'Ordinary Earthquake Passerby' exclaimed excitedly, "With a powerful figure overseeing things, and with us brothers working together, we'll get back to Earth!"

Only a fool would try to sow discord.

Li Changzhou's information was already common knowledge among high-level players—he was the top scorer in the Ming City college entrance examination.

This may only prove that he is good at studying, but he is also a top player among top players, and his IQ is at least a little smarter than that of the average person.

In his presence, just be honest, down-to-earth, and prove your worth.

"It's not just about going back to Earth!" 'Sword Only for Throat' was almost in tears. "We also want to expand our territory and conquer a planet for our motherland!"

The nickname "Sword Only for Throat-Sealing" sounds cool, like a chivalrous knight-errant, but he's actually just a noob Platinum player with 8,000 games of Yasuo.

Although Yasuo has mastered the game to a very high level, it doesn't change the fact that he's still a Platinum-level noob.

"That's right! Expanding our territory!"

"Plant the flag of the Xia Kingdom on the Four Seasons Star!"

This was the ten most radical members of the original team... If you didn't know better, you'd think they were players from the Special Operations Bureau having a brainstorming session.

Two auspicious clouds flew towards the nearest and largest city.

The building materials are all stone, and the shapes are regular, like blocks of cuboids.

Directly below the auspicious clouds was a bustling street, with awnings hanging from the shops on both sides.

Between the two sunshades, there is a gap through which light seeps in.

A group of children ran through the gaps in the light, holding stone swords in their hands.

"You wretched Earthlings, don't run away!"

"Kill him!"

"It's your turn to be Earthlings!"

As the earthquake passed by, he emerged from the auspicious clouds, his body falling freely, the sharp wind whistling in his ears.

winter!

As soon as their feet touched the ground, a powerful blast of air blew everything around them away, overturning the fruit stall and scattering fruit all over the ground.

A child who had slipped on fruit stood up, still clutching the stone sword in his hand. He looked around blankly, not seeing anyone familiar, and his face scrunched up, slowly revealing an expression that was about to cry.

People rushed out of the tavern to see what was going on.

The butcher stood there dumbfounded as the thief seized the opportunity to steal his purse. The husband protected his wife, the child cried loudly, and the fruit stall owner sat up...

It was just dawn, not long after the sun had risen.

Outside the city, a stone beast on a hill sticks out its head, gazing at the city.

As he passed by during a typical earthquake, he plunged his hands into the rocky ground. After a brief silence, he activated his "power".

The clamor abruptly ceased, and the earth surged like a torrent, the tremors growing stronger and stronger, before collapsing with a thunderous roar.

Half the city's ground was cracking, and everything in the city—plates, awnings, fruits, meat, vegetables, horse-drawn carriages, manure buckets... even people—was smashed and burst apart like a torrential downpour.

Anyone who tried to get up fell to the ground or clung to the wall, and everyone screamed.

Beneath the ground, it seemed as if a giant, wielding a siege hammer, pounded the bottom of the city.

With tremendous force, the city collapsed.
