"I can only kill Mao Yongheng and Zhang Xiaotong, not others: How can you, a mere level 2 newbie, kill a level 65 advanced player?"
Moreover, several days had passed since the original owner's chance encounter with this scumbag and bitch couple, and Chu Nian strongly suspected that they might have leveled up again.
The wind howled outside. Chu Nian felt a chill: in the original owner's memories, she was forced into this cave by a hideous female ghost.
It's likely that the deep fear Chu Nian felt when she first transmigrated was from being frightened by that female ghost.
After the original owner entered the cave, the female ghost stopped pursuing him. Initially, the original owner thought that the female ghost might have other contracted game players she wanted to kill, so she went to track down other people.
Later, she realized how naive her idea was. The reason the female ghost didn't chase after her was because this was the territory of another evil spirit. The evil spirit was temporarily away, but the female ghost still didn't dare to come in and chose to flee as far away as possible.
When the original owner was there, he waited for a long time, and seeing that the female ghost hadn't chased him in, he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go out when he encountered the evil ghost at the door. After being tortured in various ways by the evil ghost, the original owner was torn apart and eaten by the evil ghost like beef being shredded by hand.
In other words, this is where the original owner met his end. Moreover, Chu Nian had already heard strange noises outside, including whooshing sounds. The howling wind earlier was likely caused by the return of the evil spirit.
Since there was no way to leave, Chu Nian had no choice but to stay here: everyone was a ghost, and there was no way to avoid it, so the only option was "the brave will win when they meet on a narrow path".
Chu Nian guessed that the game had set it up so that people who entered this place could not use their own abilities. Only Yi Nian, who was an AI, had radio wave abilities that were similar to the energy used by the various abilities provided in the game, so she was able to use these abilities.
However, she felt that this ability was enough for her current use: after all, the original owner was only level two, and the ghosts she encountered at her level, no matter how evil, probably had limited abilities.
I wonder if fighting ghosts will level you up? Also, in the original owner's memories, it seems many of these ghosts were also game players. However, when game players enter this game world, they appear in their original form...
As Chu Nian was pondering, her body still curled up in the corner as the original owner had been, she heard a strange laugh coming from the cave entrance, growing louder as it approached.
"Hmm, I smell it, the scent of a living soul, how happy I am..." As she spoke, Chu Nian saw a dark blue-green ghost floating in from the direction of the cave entrance.
Humans can only become ghosts after death, so these ghosts actually have human faces. This made it impossible for the original owner to distinguish between real ghosts and game players. Anyway, she didn't live long here and died soon, so the memories she could provide to Chu Nian were really limited.
Chu Nian felt that she should be able to distinguish between living souls and dead souls, that is, between players and ghosts, using radio waves. Besides, it seemed unlikely that someone who could be instantly identified as a living soul could be considered a player!
Chu Nian remained motionless in the corner, secretly controlling the radio waves to interfere with the evil spirit.
"Little girl, did you come here to find me?" the demon grinned as it spoke, and an eerie, cold wind howled through the cave, sending chills down one's spine.
"Hmm." Chu Nian responded calmly, realizing that her electric waves had successfully invaded the body of this evil spirit.
Demon: "I think you taste delicious!"
Chu Nian: "I think you're great too!" she said, then smiled.
The demon suddenly twitched, flickered a few times, and then disappeared.
Chu Nian absorbed the electromagnetic waves that had condensed into this evil spirit—indeed, electromagnetic waves could not only interfere with, but also absorb all kinds of electromagnetic waves.
The system immediately displayed a dialog box in front of her, notifying her that she had accumulated enough energy to advance to level three.
It seems that regular players can't level up by killing monsters in this game; they can only level up by killing people. Chu Nian is an exception, isn't he?
When others kill ghosts, the system doesn't give them points or energy, so they can't level up. But Chu Nian absorbed their electromagnetic waves, which made his own electromagnetic waves stronger, and naturally, his energy increased.
However, according to the system settings, non-player monsters will not hunt down ordinary players; they will only hunt down contracted players. Thinking about it, this isn't hard to understand.
After all, the old woman created this game world for two reasons: first, to whitewash her act of devouring souls; and second, to nurture these souls. Therefore, she certainly wouldn't want these souls to be killed at a low level; and second, if a person were killed by a non-player ghost, who would bear the responsibility for devouring souls? The Heavenly Dao would then hold her accountable, rendering the game's whitewashing function useless.
The soul is a special kind of electromagnetic energy, which is why it can enter this game world.
In the storyline, this game world is actually no different from the outside world. Besides hunting, players can also enjoy the beautiful scenery, delicious food, and vibrant nightlife.
Unfortunately, the original owner had been running for her life ever since she entered this place, only wanting to go to places with fewer people, because those so-called "people" all took pleasure in slaughter and would only kill her if they encountered her.
Chu Nian suddenly thought of a very interesting idea, but she didn't know if it was feasible. She decided to go to a bustling city with a large number of players.
Because this game has been around for quite some time, many new players are already dozens of levels high, and there have even been numerous max-level players. These players have no interest in a level 3 newbie like Chu Nian, since killing her wouldn't level them up, and might even waste their energy.
Otherwise, if the original owner had encountered Mao Yongheng and Zhang Xiaotong, knowing that the two sides had already become enemies, why would these two not have shown any intention of attacking her?
Those interested in low-level players are definitely low-level players themselves. Chu Nian doesn't mind using these people as practice targets first.
Because of her powerful soul, and because her previous AI body itself was also an electromagnetic wave, Chu Nian could use more than just level three electromagnetic waves! However, just to be on the safe side, Chu Nian used the Soul Ruins to hide some electromagnetic wave energy, which caused the level label above her head to still show her as level two.
The tag also displays the name, time of entry into the game, equipment being used, number of people invited, and other very detailed information. This is intentionally designed to be easily understood, allowing others to make a decision about whether to attack in the shortest possible time.
Because the cave where the original owner had stayed was too remote, Chu Nian would have to pass through several mountains to get to the bustling metropolis. She discovered that this place was teeming with ghosts and monsters, probably created specifically to target contract players like the original owner.
