"What's going on? I heard the game is going down for maintenance for an hour tonight?"
"Seems like some nasty bug popped up that needs fixing."
"No way." Soon, every player in the game received the announcement about the one-hour maintenance. But even just an hour felt unbearable—like having ants crawling all over them.
Over in Nolan Village, the Sky Eagle Guild got the news too.
"Maintenance? At this crucial moment? I was just about to go hunt some skeleton monsters!" Su Qiao had already geared up and gathered a team of over a thousand players—
Not to deal with Ye Chuan, but to take on the Skeleton Guards.
Skeleton Guards had predictable attack patterns and guaranteed a legendary equipment drop every time.
Might as well treat them like raid bosses—they respawned quickly anyway.
"Yeah, one hour. Something about fixing a bug."
"Fine, fine. It's just an hour."
Though unhappy, Su Qiao logged off after hearing it’d only be a short downtime.
When maintenance began, all remaining players were forcibly kicked out, leaving only the game’s native inhabitants behind.
And right at the entrance of Nasker’s Catacombs—
A towering pillar of light erupted.
From within it, a figure slowly emerged.
"Ha! I refuse to believe this boss is as tough as they say!" The figure was a heavyset man, every piece of his gear gleaming with golden light—each one a top-tier epic item!
Not only were their stats absurd, but they were also enhanced to +31!
This was the admin equipping himself!
"Come on, let’s see just how strong this bugged monster really is." The man raised his shield and sword, striding into Nasker’s Catacombs.
Just then, a rustling came from a nearby grave mound—a skeletal creature lunged at him.
The man instantly blocked with his shield, and the moment they clashed, golden light flared, obliterating the skeleton instantly.
"Tch, scared the hell outta me—suddenly popping up like that." The man chuckled, then confidently pressed forward.
Nothing could stop him now. Even when monsters touched him, they were instantly shredded by his counter-damage.
Finally, he reached the Skeleton Guard.
"How the hell does a measly level 15 mob get this big?" Shaking his head at the towering undead, he stepped closer—triggering its aggression.
"ROOOAR!!!" The Skeleton Guard opened with a deafening roar.
Terrifying shockwaves rippled outward, but the words "IMMUNE" floated above the man’s head.
"This gear negates most debuffs. You won’t knock me back." Grinning, he leaped high and smashed his shield down onto the Skeleton Guard’s skull!
CRACK! The sound of shattering bone echoed as the Skeleton Guard’s head was crushed under the impact.
The massive corpse collapsed, dissolving into dark energy.
"Won’t even take an hour—I’ll clear this whole place in thirty minutes!" The man pushed deeper. His target wasn’t this Skeleton Guard, nor did he care about its legendary drops.
The real boss waiting inside was what he wanted.
After cutting through corridors and swatting aside more mobs, he finally reached the central hall.
A figure sat atop a throne.
The moment their eyes met, the man barked, "Hey! How the hell did you turn into a level 60+ boss?!"
The skeletal king rested its chin on one hand—though it lacked a face, its posture radiated amusement.
Because Ye Chuan was busy studying the man’s dazzling golden gear.
"Interesting. How’d you get your hands on that gear?" Ye Chuan rose slowly as he spoke.
"Oh?" The man tapped his sword against his shield, surprised the boss responded. "You’ll find out soon enough!"
"Shield Charge!"
Golden light erupted around him as he shot forward like a freight train, shield aimed straight at Ye Chuan!
Shield Charge forced a 10-meter dash, ignored crowd control, and stunned anything it hit for seconds.
But the admin’s gear amplified it—1000% more range, plus a 30-second stun duration.
Yet his plan failed instantly. Ye Chuan blinked away, reappearing far in a distant corner.
The man crashed into the throne, smashing it to splinters.
"You’re not a normal player, are you?" Ye Chuan’s question froze the man in place.
Monsters didn’t use the term "player." To natives, players were either "Outlanders" or, more derogatorily, "Undying" or "Calamities."
Hearing Ye Chuan say "player," the man’s eyes widened. "You’re a player?!"
Or a virus?
"Just a skeleton, really." Ye Chuan didn’t hesitate—he opened with Cognitive Corruption.
Instantly, dozens of "IMMUNE" markers flooded the man’s status bar.
"Huh?" Ye Chuan blinked in surprise.
Both were stunned. Each "IMMUNE" represented a blocked debuff—meaning Ye Chuan had just tried to inflict dozens at once.
What kind of nonsense was this?
"You—you—" Before the man could finish, Ye Chuan snapped out of it. Cognitive Corruption was supposed to be unblockable.
Had he encountered another conceptual-tier ability?
"No, maybe my skill level’s too low." Ye Chuan raised his hand again. "Cognitive Corruption."
Another wave of "IMMUNE" markers.
"Cognitive Corruption."
More immunity spam.
"HAHAHAHA! Useless! My necklace grants absolute debuff immunity—unless you outlevel me!" The man laughed wildly as the text continued to flood his screen.
And his sword could one-shot Ye Chuan anyway.
"Cognitive Corruption."
"Cognitive Corruption."
The immunity markers multiplied until they engulfed the man entirely, blocking his vision.
"Enough!" Annoyed, the man decided to end this farce and delete Ye Chuan’s bugged existence.
But the moment he took a step—his body locked up.
"What’s… this?"
Crack. A fissure split his immunity necklace. Then—snap—it shattered.
"Cognitive Corruption." Ye Chuan grinned. "My concept overrules yours."
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
