"You really get it," Li Changzhou nodded in agreement, "My current power of the Five Elements can indeed only be considered 'Qi'; when it becomes a liquid, it will be called 'Five Elements True Saber'; and when it turns solid, then it will be called 'The World's Number One Five Elements Light Saber'."
"Won't turning into a solid block your body?" Turquoise Pool asked curiously.
"Do you understand Golden Core? Or maybe directly refining it into something like a Magic Treasure, like 'Fengshen Legend's' Kong Xuan's 'Five-Colored Divine Light,' which absorbs anything within the Five Elements..."
As Li Changzhou spoke, his voice grew fainter; he took out 'Xia' and fell into deep thought.
Qian Xia originally wanted to suggest giving individual names to the Jade Light, Red Light, Black Light, White Light, and Yellow Light—she had them all planned out, like the Infinite Sea Black Light Qi Saber, Verdant Spring Jade Light Qi Saber... but seeing him possibly having some insights, she put aside this idea.
Turquoise Pool closed her eyes, integrating what she had learned from the Four Seasons Star, to see if she could enhance her strength.
She was spurred by Li Changzhou's performance today, and Yang Qinglan also gained a powerful new method.
Two auspicious clouds floated in the night sky, eerily quiet without a voice, the galaxy above overwhelmingly stunning.
On the auspicious cloud behind, after taking Elixir Pills, those like 'Just An Earthquake Passing By' and 'Reinforced Iron Bones' fully focused on healing their wounds.
◇
Third day of the New Year event.
The auspicious cloud landed on the ground, and Earth emerged from the smoke.
"The western front, the southwest front, has already entered autumn, and there are talks with the Special Warfare Bureau. Three groups fought fiercely all last night during autumn. The corpses piled higher than the fruit trees, three players died, namely 'Period', 'Garden', 'Diamond King Fifth'."
Li Changzhou was familiar with these people; before splitting up, he had greeted them all; 'Diamond King Fifth' was the player who built the Council Hall.
He still remembered, when Qian Xia curiously asked him upon knowing his game nickname, "This name doesn't suit you at all."
"That's exactly the effect I was going for," 'Diamond King Fifth' replied, pushing his glasses.
Unexpectedly, he had died too.
The New Year event was not an invasion, but a compelled duel arena.
Players from various planets were thrown onto other planets, and Game Value told them: "You can choose not to kill, but don't think about going back either."
What else could they do?
Players possess incredible abilities, but in the universe, the tens of billions of light years between planets are insurmountable barriers for them.
Even from Earth to the Moon, how many players could cross such distances? Were there any?
After Earth detailed last night's battles of autumn, he moved on to discuss the struggles of spring.
Spring saw three groups suffering even more, with eight people dead last night, only twenty-two remaining. If two more died, according to a plan, they would rush to the center to meet with Li Changzhou.
"The Special Warfare Bureau mentioned, there's news about the autumn Divine Artifact, they will now concentrate all efforts to compete for it. If there's no news from the other two fronts, they could start slaughtering to ensure the progress of another task is complete," Earth said.
"Understood," Li Changzhou said.
Yang Qinglan looked at a rock, Fairy's Ruyi struck out, and a neon-like tornado pounced, shattering the stone.
Some fragments burnt to charcoal, some froze into ice, some were covered in vines—visually, it looked like a mini-landscape assembled from all sorts of weathers, utterly magical.
It was a Stone Beast.
Earth trembled slightly, clutching his cane tighter, his speech quickened: "Also! The Ice Giants of winter, the Sand People of summer, are rushing towards the center, I hope you all be careful, old man will—"
"Retreat"—before he could finish, Earth had already dived back into the soil along with the smoke.
"This Skill is quite impressive," Li Changzhou admired the 'Call Earth'.
"Boss, what do we do next? The people from winter and summer are coming, and we might not be their match," 'Reinforced Iron Bones' asked.
Apart from 'Deadly Light Flame,' who was the most severely injured due to his foul mouth, the others had mostly recovered.
"Don't worry," Li Changzhou said, "Now the center is in summer, only a few Ice People can leave winter, and the Sand People are all tribes, dispersed forces; not many will come."
"You truly deserve to be the boss, always so commanding!" 'Sword Solely for Throat' brown-nosed.
"I'm not the boss, the earthquake is," Li Changzhou looked at 'Just An Earthquake Passing By,' "Relying on my mere saber to kill, 12 days wouldn't be enough, it's all on you now."
"Don't worry, leave it to me, I guarantee to satisfy you, boss!" 'Just An Earthquake Passing By' promised.
He resolved internally, even if it cost him half his life, he would perform well enough to satisfy Li Changzhou.
This was his only value, even more important than 'Reinforced Iron Bones' and the others. As long as he performed well, whether it was Li Changzhou or the Special Warfare Bureau, with any spare capacity, they would definitely save him first.
"I didn't save you in vain, hahaha!" the Psychiatric Doctor laughed crazily.
"Thanks," 'Just an Earthquake Passing By' patted his shoulder, but inwardly cursed.
This bastard was trying to perform well in front of Li Changzhou to prove his own value.
Value Game looks at value, isn't human society the same?
"Hehe, when you guys get tired, I can light some fire," 'Deadly Light Flame' opened his eyes, his left hand energetically squeezed, and pfft, a new arm grew out.
Little Five whispered, "Namekian!"
Of course, it wasn't, just an ordinary gecko... though not necessarily a gecko, as many animals can regenerate limbs, such as fire salamanders, octopuses, starfish, planarians, etc.
In various works, the ability to 'regenerate limbs' is only possessed at very high levels of cultivation; in Value Game, as long as one is lucky enough and has enough Game Coins, even a player who hasn't maxed out any attribute can have it early on.
