I handed over the game to the gaming industry, and the government gave me a hacked version.

Chapter 320 The City Lord's Hidden Rewards

Chen You sheathed his sword and strode towards the spatial vortex that had turned completely blood red.

His figure disappeared into it.

Outside the mine entrance, the wind and snow continued to rage.

But thousands of players seemed to have been put on pause, and there was a deathly silence.

It wasn't until a gust of wind whipped up the snow and hit everyone's faces that someone shivered and came to their senses.

"Holy crap..."

It's unclear who started it, but the crowd instantly erupted in chaos.

"He chopped it again! He really chopped it!"

"I even forgot to breathe! What kind of swordsmanship was that? The stone tablet... it was sliced ​​open like tofu?"

"What do you know!" Bloodbath Sweet suddenly turned around, his face flushed, and roared at the players around him.

"This is called breaking the rules! You Shen is declaring war on the system!"

He excitedly spit out his saliva: "You think You God of Travel is just grinding dungeons? Wrong! Completely wrong!"

"He's telling us that as long as you're strong enough, there's no such thing as an indestructible structure!"

"The sword strike of the wandering god cleaved not just the stone tablet, but the shackles of our minds!"

The surrounding players were stunned by his impassioned speech, and they all showed expressions of sudden realization.

"I see! The procession of deities has a lot of thought behind it!"

"As expected of a wandering god, his vision is truly grand! I was just feeling sorry for the material of that boundary marker, I'm so ashamed!"

"Look!" an assassin player suddenly exclaimed, pointing ahead.

In just a few seconds, a brand new, dark red boundary marker rose from the ground.

The new boundary marker is taller than the previous one and exudes a chilling aura.

At the very top of the boundary marker, a line of words is deeply engraved in an extremely flamboyant ancient script.

[The Destroyer: Chen You]

These five words seem to possess a certain magic; looking at them for too long can even cause eye strain.

Blood Battle Sweet stepped forward, his expression solemn, looking at the words as if on a pilgrimage.

"See that? That's real prestige!"

"The boss is right!"

"You Shen is awesome!"

The players started showering him with compliments, showering him with praise as if it were free.

Although Chen You couldn't hear it at all, that didn't stop them from using it to express their inner shock and fervor.

Several die-hard fans even tried to rush up and touch the blood-red boundary marker, cautiously attempting to touch that name.

In the end, it trembled and withdrew, not daring to approach again.

……

On the other hand, just to be on the safe side, Chen You put a substitute talisman on himself.

Then I spent another 3000 gold coins to purchase monster gathering and BOSS self-destruction services.

I have to say, the Destruction Mode still costs the same, which is quite reasonable considering the system.

Adding more without raising the price is an example of this.

After completing the Destruction Mode, Chen You used a return scroll to return to Cangxing City.

We walked through the familiar streets and entered the city lord's mansion.

The basketball hoop from last time is gone from the courtyard; in its place stands a solid black iron pillar with a diameter of two meters.

James Sand, the city lord who is over two meters tall and has muscles comparable to a bodybuilding champion, is wearing a tight-fitting combat suit and performing some kind of ancient and mysterious ritual on the black iron pillar.

She bent her knees slightly, lowered her center of gravity, and leaned her right shoulder forward.

After a brief moment of gathering her strength, she suddenly stomped forward, her entire right shoulder slamming into the black iron pillar.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud was heard.

The black iron pillar remained motionless, but Sander was forced back two steps by the reaction force.

She frowned, stared at her shoulder, and muttered something.

Chen You stood at the entrance of the courtyard, his eyes twitching.

This city lord has already started practicing.

Sander caught a glimpse of Chen You out of the corner of his eye, his eyes lit up, and he strode over.

"Adventurer, you're back." Sander's gaze was full of inquiry.

"Did you see my movements just now? I feel like something's missing; the power wasn't fully utilized."

Chen You took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to complain.

He walked around Sander once, his gaze deep.

"This is getting interesting." Chen You nodded, feigning profundity.

"Your power generation technique has reached a high level, and your muscle coordination is impeccable."

"However, your move lacks soul."

Sander was taken aback: "A soul?"

"Yes, a spirit of fearlessness and disdain for everything." Chen You put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky.

"You need a mantra. At the moment of exerting force, shout out this mantra along with the energy and spirit, and you can achieve the state of perfect harmony between man and skill."

Sander, with a solemn expression, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting and inquired, "What incantation?"

Chen You turned around, looked directly into Sander's eyes, and uttered two words slowly and deliberately.

"Simply because!"

Sander frowned, repeatedly chewing on those two words.

She nodded thoughtfully and turned to look at the black iron pillar.

Sander struck a pose once again.

He lowered his shoulders, dropped his elbows, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

She took a sudden step forward, her right shoulder slamming into the iron pillar with a whooshing sound.

The moment they made contact, Sander gathered his energy in his dantian and let out a loud shout.

"Simply because!"

"Clang!"

This time, the black iron pillar emitted a sickening metallic groan of fatigue, and a dent appeared on its body that was visible to the naked eye.

Sander steadied himself, looked at the dent in the iron pillar, and his eyes blazed with wild joy.

"So clear! So clear!" Sander laughed and patted Chen You on the shoulder.

"You're a genius! That incantation is the perfect finishing touch to this combat technique!"

Chen You rubbed his shoulders, outwardly calm as an old dog, but inwardly he had already cursed the programmer who designed this NPC and his ancestors for eighteen generations.

"You're too kind, City Lord. Let's get down to business." Chen You decisively changed the subject.

Sander suppressed his smile, his expression regaining its dignified air as the city lord.

"What's the situation at the mining area? Have you figured out the source of the caravan's disappearance?"

Chen You took out the "purified power core" that was automatically generated after completing the mission from his backpack and handed it to Sander.

"The source was in the power room deep inside the mine. An unknown source of spiritual pollution had taken control of the machinery and the miners, but I have cleansed it out."

Sander took the power core and examined it carefully.

"Well done, adventurer." Sander put away the core, his tone solemn.

"You not only rescued the missing caravan members, but also eliminated a huge hidden danger to Hidden Star City."

"On behalf of all the citizens of Zangxing City, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

A system notification sounded in Chen You's ear.

Congratulations on completing the main quest "Shadows of the Snowfield".

[Rewards: 200000 Experience Points, 5000 Reputation in Hidden Star City (Current Status: Revered).]

[Special Reward Received: The City Lord's Mysterious Treasure Trove.]

Chen You opened his backpack and examined the so-called "city lord's mysterious private collection".

A basketball with a patina

[Description: This piece has been handled by countless generations; the light reflected from it carries the glory of a family.]
