Chapter 16: Kingly Domination

t's not equipment after all!"Although it costs one silver coin to exchange for 50, this deal is also worthwhile. Being able to produce 50 silver coins at once makes Zhang Yi very satisfied.Because in..."Ding~ You killed the player [King of Glory]. Due to their gray name, your sin value has not increased!"

Around them, the Supreme King and the Returning King, along with two other King-ranked players, even passersby who had stopped to watch the commotion, were all dumbfounded.

As a burst-type player with a 3rd-level build and new weapon, it's understandable that I landed a non-penetrating 1 point of damage on the opponent in Honor of Kings. But what happened next was shocking! The other player unleashed a hammer blow, dealing a massive 176 critical damage instantly killing me in Honor of Kings. What kind of situation is this!

You could feel the fear in the hearts of the remaining four King players as they watched their captain get instantly killed. Zhang Yi ignored them, instead squatting down at the respawn point for Glory of Kings, picking up a pair of black trousers that had dropped from the kill.

In the Tianqi world, malicious attacks by white-named players on other players will trigger a gray name. Killing a white-named player grants 100 points of evil value, turning you red named. When your evil value exceeds 1000, you become purple named.

White-named players have a 50% chance of dropping one piece of equipment upon death, gray-named players drop one piece of equipment upon death 100%, red-named players drop two pieces upon death, and purple-named players drop all their equipment upon death!

Based on this, white and red names will have their death level drop by 1. For every 100 points of evil value exceeding the limit, the level will drop by an additional 1.

This game has a very high penalty for red-named players, which makes players hesitant to attack each other. Just now, the King of Glory relied on its strength and size, ignoring this aspect entirely and not expecting that the opponent would actually dare to attack him, and even kill him instantly!

It's worth noting that the "Biochemical Trousers" exposed in King of Glory is actually a 3-level equipment. Although it's also a 1-star quality, its added 6 base defense points are several points higher than the 1-level novice trousers on Zhang Yi's body, which only add 2 points of defense.

Most importantly, it is still a Tier 15! The total defense bonus has reached 15 points.

No wonder King of Glory was so confident in front of Zhang Yi just now. Without the [God-level Enhancement] condition, wanting to enhance this piece of equipment to 15 would take at least fifty or sixty enhancement stones. To dare invest so much on a level 3 piece of equipment in the early stage, this King of Glory is truly a real tycoon!

Then, Zhang Yi directly put on the boss's newly revealed pants equipment in front of the King's Return group. His defense increased from 33 to 46 points.

While his gaze lingered on the spot where the King of Glory had vanished, Zhang Yi's eyes were once again filled with hatred. His thoughts were pulled back eight years, to a memory that was deeply etched in his heart, one that haunted him even in his dreams.

In the previous life, there was a thousand-player squad in Security Zone 886. After realizing this was a real death world, they took advantage of their numbers and occupied Hope Town for a month, burning, killing, looting, and doing everything evil, bringing all players in Hope Town a nightmare.

Zhang Yi, among the group being ravaged, had the most vivid memory of a time when he returned home at night without submitting enough gold coins. He was beaten and his hands and feet were chopped off, nearly killing him.

In this data-driven world, players will only die if their health attribute reaches zero. Broken limbs will recover slowly, inheriting 100% of the pain sensations from reality, which is unbearable for ordinary people.

Because of the system restrictions and unable to escape to other safe zones, the only way to escape their clutches is to level up to 30 and unlock the teleportation array leading to the Level 3 main city.

But that team severely limited the leveling speed of solo players. They would kill those who were higher leveled directly, which is why Zhang Yi spent a whole month in his previous life before reaching level 30.

And that squad which plunged Safe Zone 886 into darkness, leaving countless players with psychological shadows, was called [King's Reign], Captain ID: Glory of Kings!

But even after killing Honor of Kings once, Zhang Yi was unable to find solace, because he knew that Honor of Kings still had a chance to revive. And the trauma that [King's World] brought him in his previous life was simply too great.

"In this life, if you're still able to run rampant, I Zhang Yi will share the same surname with you!"

After finishing his words, Zhang Yi stood up, taking NPC Er along with him as they continued towards the safe zone. The King of Glory and his men didn't dare to block their path, scattering in all directions out of fear, making way for Zhang Yi.

As for these people, killing them would naturally be effortless. Zhang Yi simply didn't want to become notorious because they were white-named. A red name would prevent entry into the safe zone.

As soon as Zhang Yi and Er Li left, several people gathered around the Supreme King and the Returning King. They watched Zhang Yi's gradually disappearing figure, falling into a state of bewilderment.

"My god... over 170 damage, even without a crit it's over 80 points. How is this possible"

"Could it be that the hammer in his hand is a divine weapon that grows stronger Does its attack power increase as its level rises!"

"Forget about this, let's go back and find the captain. The captain got defeated instantly, his mood must be bad. Let's go comfort him..."

Here, Zhang Yi hadn't entered the safe zone yet, but he saw that the in-region chat channel was flooded with messages from [Honor of Kings] —

【Honor of Kings】(Male, Level 2 Player): "Yinoqingcheng, you're dead to me! Wait for me, from today onwards, if you have the guts, don't let me see you again, or else, I swear I'll kill you every time I see you!"

"Unless you immediately come to the Rejuvenation Spring and kneel before me, apologizing for your actions, and hand over the weapon on your back, then I have ten thousand ways to make sure you can't survive in the entire Celestial Realm!"

……

Looking at the news on the local channel, Zhang Yi didn't take it to heart, but he heard the people around him discussing it heatedly.

Player A: “It’s said that the captain of [King’s World], King Glory, is a rich young master in real life. His family has assets worth dozens of billions. He's the richest person in Linhai City. Before entering this game, he spent 100 million yuan to hire a thousand professional players at a salary of 100,000 each to build a powerful team. Their early-stage team strength was amazing!”

Player B: "Yeah, he even got yelled at by the whole server. This kid, INO QINGCHENG, is going to have bad luck. He dared to provoke the captain of the King's World team, I think he's going to be killed by them until he deletes his account!"

Player C: “With the background of Honor of Kings, I'm afraid that kid might even face revenge in real life. Aw, sympathy for three seconds~”

Hearing the passersby's discussions, Zhang Yi felt a surge of anger. In this lifetime, with Zhang Yi around, 886 Safe Zone would never repeat the mistakes of the past. The sins committed by King World in the previous life, Zhang Yi would make them pay blood for blood in this lifetime!

Back in Hope Town, Zhang Yi brought Er to reunite with Lingling. The father and daughter finally came together, embracing each other with tears of joy.

While Zhang Yi's ears, a pleasant system prompt rang out——
