The skills of the Sky Walker...

How should I put it?

Lin Chen felt they were just a super Lao Liu (crafty player).

Too Lao Liu!

Super sliding tackle, enhanced Sap...

And all sorts of stealth skills.

The more formal one is this:

[Enchanted Crescent Slash (Skill Level 13): The Sky Walker charges forward, unleashing a fan-shaped slash that deals 210% magic attack damage and 210% physical attack damage to enemies within a ten-yard radius. For every hundred yards of speed exceeded, the damage increases by 40%! Magic Cost: 800, Cooldown: 40 seconds!]

This is a skill for dealing burst damage to a group, but it doesn't inflict any negative effects on the target.

It's purely damage.

Of course, there are other Sky Walker skills that require skill books.

Here, I have to mention the characteristics of the Sky Walker hidden class.

Besides being a hybrid of physical and magical attacks, Sky Walkers can learn most forbidden spells.

For example, Forbidden Spell: Windstorm Field.

Lin Chen can learn this skill.

Lin Chen searched in the Tian Yue City Lord's mansion warehouse. Zhang Chunlin had stored almost everything here for him, including some skill books.

Learning forbidden spells requires prerequisite skill levels and skill points.

Windstorm Field must be learned, as it's a crowd control skill that also boosts Zhu Niao's damage output.

Then Lin Chen can learn two more forbidden spells.

He found five forbidden spell skill books.

Lin Chen chose the following two:

[Forbidden Spell: Star Energy Blast Kill: After attacking a target, infuse it with star energy. During this period, 10% of the damage the target receives will be settled later and gain a Starburst state; if the target does not receive any attacks within ten seconds, the number of layers will be re-accumulated. The star energy can be detonated at any time within three minutes. Each layer of Starburst state will cause double true damage after settlement, up to thirty layers! Mark Cost: 300, Detonation Cost: 800, Cooldown: 5 minutes.]

[Forbidden Spell: Seven Star Gathering: After activation, gain a Star Energy Slot that lasts for three minutes and can accumulate up to seven Star Energies. Each Star Energy provides a five-hundred-yard blink effect, rendering you invulnerable during the blink and dealing 50% physical and magical damage to any enemies between the two blink points. Activation Cost: 1000, Cost per Blink: 200, Cooldown: 5 minutes!]

Since I'm a Lao Liu, I have to be even more Lao Liu.

Star Energy Blast Kill is a forbidden spell that increases damage output, and it's the strongest of the single-target forbidden spells.

However, Star Energy Blast Kill can also be considered a Lao Liu skill.

Because the damage caused by the final detonation will definitely catch the opponent off guard.

Imagine, you're dueling with Lin Chen and find that his skills don't hurt you very much. Although Lin Chen has both physical and magical attacks, you can defend against one type of damage, and the 10% delayed damage settlement might give you the illusion that you're doing well!

Lin Chen is nothing special!

But when the Starburst stacks to thirty layers, Lin Chen suddenly detonates it.

At that time, 10% of all the damage you received during that period will be converted into double true damage, ignoring your physical and magical defenses, and all thirty layers of damage will erupt at once.

Lin Chen calculated that if he were fighting a Boss, taking the level 120 Giant Ape King as an example, this one skill could probably explode nearly a million health points!

30% of its health.

You have to know, this is the Giant Ape King in the level 120 Hell Dungeon. After devouring eleven souls, it has a full three million health points, a very powerful existence.

If it were player-versus-player combat, considering defenses and damage reduction, with Lin Chen's current attack attributes, each hit would deal at least ten thousand damage, after all, he is the number one player in the game.

So, if each hit retains one thousand points of damage, the delayed settlement is two thousand damage, multiplied by thirty layers, that's sixty thousand true damage!

Even Zhang Chunlin, a level 120 knight, only has a total health of 180,000!

Being hit by Lin Chen for three minutes, and then exploding for 60,000 health points at the end, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

The Seven Star Gathering skill can be said to be a must-learn forbidden spell for Sky Walkers. Originally, this forbidden spell could only be learned by assassins, stalkers, and ninjas, granting them super escape abilities and the ability to jump back and forth repeatedly. After all, they can continuously jump back and forth seven times on a five-hundred-yard battlefield.

Of course, the damage is a bit low.

But that's for assassin-type classes that only specialize in physical attacks.

For Lin Chen, 50% physical and magical damage can still output considerable damage.

Seven times, that's at least 350% damage output, plus an invulnerable state, so he definitely has to learn it!

At this point, Lin Chen's Sky Walker class change is complete!

He's much stronger than before.

First of all, his attributes. Lin Chen might not have dared to say it before, but now he can say that he is truly the number one player in the game. His equipment score is eighteen thousand higher than that of the second-ranked Xue Mo!

Secondly, forbidden spells!

Lin Chen should be the only player in the game who has three forbidden spells in his hands.

In terms of skill scores, Lin Chen is also far ahead.

Of course, Lin Chen hasn't given the level 120 handcrafted equipment to Liu Mengyao yet, otherwise Liu Mengyao would definitely be second.

If she gets the weapon from the quest reward, it'll be even more secure.

At this time, Liu Mengyao also logged in. As soon as she logged in, she teamed up with Lin Chen and asked in surprise, "You changed classes too?"

"If I don't, I'm afraid I won't have a chance!"

Lin Chen smiled.

The game is about to descend upon reality tomorrow. If I don't change now, am I supposed to wait until the Bosses come knocking on my door?

What if a Boss kills you instantly while you're changing equipment?

"What do you mean no chance... Oh, the server is shutting down soon, right? I saw the announcement, it said it'll shut down at eleven tonight, not even making it to twelve. Also, it's so strange, it's snowing here today!"

Liu Mengyao told Lin Chen about the weather.

"Snowing is fine, as long as it doesn't hail."

Lin Chen didn't say much about this issue, but immediately gave her the equipment and instructed, "Put on this set first, I've also socketed the gems for you. While there's still time, go and finish your quest quickly."

Lin Chen must help Liu Mengyao with her class change quest.

That weapon is the only one on the entire server and is definitely very powerful.

But don't forget, completing this quest may also allow Liu Mengyao to gain the allegiance of an entire race in the game.

If they are loyal to Liu Mengyao, wouldn't that be the same as being loyal to Lin Chen?

Liu Mengyao changed her equipment. The previous set of equipment was given to Lin Chen. After all, it cost a lot of money, so it definitely wouldn't be discarded. Then, Liu Mengyao said in surprise, "When did this total score ranking come out?"

"It came out last night."

Lin Chen had already discovered this.

The total score ranking is not the equipment or skill score ranking.

The scores on those rankings are easily in the millions.

However, the first place on this total score ranking only has one hundred points.

Always one hundred points.

The second place has 99 points.

Lin Chen is very clear that the significance of this ranking is very important.

Because...

This ranking is related to the game abilities you can inherit after the game invades reality.

And whether your equipment attributes will be weakened.

So Lin Chen is now maintaining first place on all the major rankings for the sake of first place on this total score ranking.

[Total Score Ranking:]

[1st place: Lin Zhong Chen Xi, 100]

[2nd place: Meng Li Yao Guang, 99]

[3rd place: Xue Mo, 98]

[4th place: Jiang Hai He, 97]

[5th place: Xiao Niao Yi Ren, 96]

[6th place: Ye Lian Cheng, 95]

[7th place: Gu Gu Jian, 94]

[8th place: Si Shen Wang Da Ma, 93]

[9th place: Zhuan Zhi Bu Fu, 92]

[10th place: Lu Hong Lian, 91]

[...]

[18th place: Zhang Chunlin, 85]

Lin Chen glanced at the list and found that most of the people on it were 'dead people', that is, some players who were heartbroken and quit the game, but didn't destroy their equipment and accounts. People like Ye Liancheng and Gu Gu Jian used to be in the top one or two.

Now, they've all fallen down.

This Lu Honglian is a new account. Lin Chen had no impression of her before, so she probably rushed up during this period.

As for Zhang Chunlin, he's a bit of a drag.

Lin Chen sent a message to Zhang Chunlin: "The total score ranking is out. Hurry up and boost your score to at least 90. It won't cost much money. Then join the team and do a quest."

Soon, Zhang Chunlin joined the team.

Xue Mo and Bai Shuyi also received invitations and joined the team.

As soon as she came in, Xue Mo said, "It's so scary here. It's hailing outside, and people are being killed!"

"Are you from the north?" Lin Chen asked.

"Yeah," Xue Mo replied.

"No wonder."

Lin Chen said to everyone, "Extreme weather is happening all over the world, but have you noticed that whether it's hail, snow in April, or tsunamis... these types of weather are actually very common in the game?"

"What do you mean?" Bai Shuyi immediately looked over warily.

"I don't get it, Boss. Games are games, and reality is reality. Can they be the same? Hail can't kill people in the game, but what about in reality?" This guy, Zhang Chunlin, hasn't realized what Lin Chen is saying.

Xue Mo was silent. She looked at Lin Chen with a complicated expression and asked, "You... you're not saying that those things you said on the show and in the livestream, that dream you had, is going to come true, are you?"

"You can use the in-game browser to bypass the firewall and check the foreign websites... I estimate that the internet will be gone when the game servers shut down, but you'll still have a signal on your phones as long as the cell towers aren't destroyed. Let's get moving to the quest location first."

Lin Chen led the team to the quest location.

Everyone was silent on the way.

Obviously, they all listened to Lin Chen and went to the foreign websites.

Half an hour later, Lin Chen saw that Zhang Chunlin's score had become 90 points, and the guy was still pushing.

"Although I don't understand, I feel like it's always right to listen to the Boss!"

Zhang Chunlin said with a somewhat simple-minded expression.

…

ps: At this point, everything that needs to be explained has been explained.

Next chapter, the game invasion of reality begins!
