As Chen Tian spun around, countless vortexes of energy began to swirl with him, and the tornadoes that formed simultaneously grew stronger.
The tornadoes collided, their opposing rotational forces canceling each other out.
Finally, the two figures stood motionless on the ground. Chen Tian looked at the Imperial General before him, their eyes meeting.
Simultaneously, the Imperial General's expression shifted in shock. As a general of the empire, was he unable to defeat a mere low-level player?
Seeing the Imperial General hesitate, Chen Tian instantly appeared before him.
His dual blades descended in rapid slashes.
The Imperial General held his long spear horizontally across his chest, bracing himself with both hands. The two consecutive slashes were blocked by the spear shaft.
At the same time, the spear emitted a purple glow. This weapon was actually of purple quality. No wonder it could withstand Chen Tian's skills.
In the game "Era of Time," the higher the quality of a weapon, the greater its durability and hardness. Even high-quality weapons could withstand skills, albeit the weapons themselves.
"Damn it, what do I need to do to defeat him?"
Chen Tian pondered. If this continued, it would be endless. He couldn't do anything to the opponent, and even if their armor dropped, it would regenerate.
"If only there was a weakness!"
Chen Tian mused, then a spark of inspiration seemed to hit him. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
In his mind, he clicked on a skill icon.
"Ding! Weakness detection failed!"
Chen Tian's face darkened. This weakness detection skill only had a 30% success rate, which was far too low!
"Forget it, there's only an eighteen-second cooldown. I'll try again later! I refuse to believe he has no weakness."
Chen Tian's confidence surged. No one is perfect, and no one is born without flaws.
Even if there were none, it just meant they hadn't been discovered or found yet. He didn't believe that even in a game, an NPC could be flawless.
After all, even bosses had weaknesses; he didn't believe NPCs wouldn't.
"Ding! Weakness detection failed!"
"Ding! Weakness detection successful. The opponent's weakness: an old scar on his back, near the chestplate!"
Chen Tian's eyes lit up as he heard the electronic voice in his mind.
He stepped forward, activating the skill "Gale Shadow Dance."
He instantly appeared behind the Imperial General. Behind the armor, Chen Tian clearly saw a scar. This scar was connected to the armor, which was a testament to the kind of battles the opponent had endured.
Even the armor had been pierced. Chen Tian was puzzled, then without hesitation, he plunged both his blades into the gaps of the armor.
"Squelch!"
The sound of flesh being cut echoed. His dual blades sank into the opponent's body. The Imperial General looked at Chen Tian's face in disbelief and said, "How did you know about this scar of mine!"
The Imperial General's health rapidly decreased, instantly dropping to zero, and then he transformed into a stream of light that floated into the air.
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for leveling up. Current level: twenty-six!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for obtaining 30 attribute points."
"Ding! Congratulations to the player for obtaining the long spear: Cold Light Silver Spear."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a General's Token."
Listening to the electronic voices in his mind, Chen Tian was delighted. The most enjoyable part of playing a game was collecting loot.
At the same time, Chen Tian swiped his left hand, and a screen appeared before his eyes, displaying information about all the rewards.
Chen Tian calmly looked at the information before him, then lost interest. Only the token and attribute points were somewhat useful.
He couldn't use that weapon, and it was only blue quality. It would be better to sell it for Era Coins.
Then, he tapped a few times on the screen, and his entire being turned into a beam of light, vanishing from the secret chamber.
The quest progress was temporarily paused by Chen Tian. The first day had passed, leaving two more days. Chen Tian needed to go out and improve his strength.
In the city, Chen Tian appeared at the city gate. He glanced at the gate, then opened his map.
A screen displayed numerous names, indicating the names of nearby cities and places for cultivation.
When Chen Tian saw the "Burial Forest," his eyes lit up. Burial Forest, a cultivation spot for level twenty-eight players, teeming with countless bone zombies and puppet-like creatures.
Chen Tian decided to head to the Burial Forest to grind levels. He was already a level twenty-six player. Once he reached level thirty, he could ascend to the next tier. However, before that, he wanted to fully explore the world on this tier.
The world on the first tier was equivalent to about one-third of Earth in the real world.
Chen Tian would need time to explore it quickly. After all, he didn't want to miss any opportunity to increase his level and gain experience. Moreover, as a "Silent Watcher," he possessed some special privileges.
With the boost from the "Silent Watcher" mode, it would be a disservice to himself not to explore the entire world.
The Burial Forest was a gray area. All the trees were gray, and even the trees were made of bone.
The entire forest exuded an aura of strangeness and foreboding, and this aura was quite intense.
Chen Tian arrived at the edge of the Burial Forest and looked at the forest before stepping inside. Just as he was about to enter,
Chen Tian's steps halted. The reason was simple: he was hungry.
It seemed he hadn't eaten anything in-game for several days. His character needed sustenance.
In the game "Era of Time," players' constitution values could be depleted. Once they reached zero, they would die instantly. Constitution could only be restored through eating or resting.
Chen Tian looked at the Burial Forest before him and had to abandon his plan, returning to the city gate.
He hadn't paid attention to his constitution value before; he had forgotten about it until the screen suddenly appeared.
"Era of Time" also had hotels and inns, meaning the game was not significantly different from the real world.
Chen Tian entered a hotel, took out his Era Coins, and asked the NPC at the counter, "How much is a day?"
In "Era of Time," a full day's rest would restore all constitution. Resting for half a day would reduce one's attributes by 30%.
Players could choose not to rest with these game buffs, but reaching zero meant death and the loss of mobility.
"Three hundred Era Coins a day. Which room would you like?"
The NPC receptionist spoke kindly, appearing almost human.
Chen Tian tapped a few times on the screen, and the Era Coins instantly transferred to her.
"Adventurer, your room number is 301!"
