Chapter 1: Using the Most Elegant Maneuvering to Deal the Least Damage

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At Yude No. 3 High School.

“Fifty years ago, the world was digitized. A large number of dimensional worlds surged out from all over the world. Then, Overlord-leveled creatures walked out of the dimensional rift and invaded a large area of our land. We humans were weak and were massacred by dimensional creatures. This is an unforgettable humiliation that we should remember.”

In front of a huge statue, an old white-haired teacher was lecturing earnestly. His peaceful and powerful gaze would sweep across the students in front of him from time to time.

Most of the students were listening attentively. Only Li Feng was yawning while holding a phone with both hands. He was engrossed in a game.

This made Zhou Zhengyang frown slightly. He said unhappily, “Li Feng, tell everyone about the great deeds of this statue behind me.”

Upon hearing this question, Li Feng, who was playing his game, was stunned. He blurted out, “Wait until I finish this game.”

“Haha!” His behavior made the surrounding students laugh loudly.

“Ahem, that was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue.”

Li Feng came back to his senses and saw that the old teacher’s face was ashen. He smiled awkwardly and slowly put away his phone. Then, he raised his head and looked at the statue. His gaze became a little stern.

“This is the great Pirate King, Lu Fei. He is also one of the few Destruction-Rank players in the human race. Several decades ago, the land was attacked by the various Overlords. The situation was precarious, and the Overlord-leveled creatures on the sea were also beginning to stir. They wanted to take advantage of the situation and wipe out the human race.”

“At this critical juncture, it was Pirate King Lu Fei who stood forward. As a Mage, he personally suppressed a few Overlords of the same level and built a protective line along the coast, stopping the marine Overlords who wanted to go ashore. ”

At the end, Li Feng’s eyes were filled with a holy light. The legendary story of the Pirate King Lu Fei was indeed very inspiring.

“You’re right.”

Zhou Zhengyang’s expression softened. However, he then reprimanded Li Feng. “Don’t be addicted to online games. You’re about to graduate. As a man, you should do things with real knives and guns. If you want to play, go to the dungeons yourself.”

Tens of years ago, the Overlord-leveled creatures that came from other dimensions built dungeons on Earth one after another. Humans could increase their level by clearing dungeons and obtaining great strength.

During the third year of high school, most of the students had just reached adulthood and had already met the basic requirements to enter dungeons.

“Got it.” Li Feng nodded in agreement.

Dungeons could indeed increase his strength, but now was not the time to enter dungeons.

Ring ring…

At that moment, the school bell rang. Li Feng took out his phone again. Under everyone’s strange gazes, he ran to a big tree and quietly took out his phone to play games.

“This child cannot be taught.” Zhou Zhengyang flicked his sleeves and said with a dark expression. The slightly favorable impression he had of Li Feng just now was completely gone now.

However, he sighed in his heart.

“This Li Feng is really pitiful. A year ago, he was still a distinguished figure in our batch. However, he was defeated by a junior who had just risen in rank. Coincidentally, his parents died in a car accident. From then on, he couldn’t recover and became addicted to games. It’s such a pity.”

“That Lin Ling’er who defeated him is incredible. She just defeated the Gale Wolf dungeon two days ago and obtained a powerful breathing technique. In the future, the gap between her and us will only grow larger and larger. It’s impossible for Li Feng to catch up to her.”

The surrounding students looked at Li Feng with pity.

He was the pride of a generation. However, just because of one setback, he became an internet addict. It was truly lamentable. Indeed, the world was not worth it.

Li Feng, who had come under the shade of the big tree, didn’t care about the gazes around him at all. He found a comfortable spot to lean against. Then, he picked up his phone and opened a mobile game called Legend of Heroes.

Everyone thought that because of that defeat and the death of his parents, he had fallen and become addicted to games. Only Li Feng himself knew that this was the key to his own rise in power.

Player: Li Feng

Class: Unchanged Class

Life Rank: Primary Rank

Strength: 5

Intelligence: 5

Speed: 7

Stamina: 4

Breathing Technique: Exorcism Breathing Technique

Skills: None

After the global digitization, all humans had become players. The world was like an online game where they could learn skills, change classes, and obtain great strength. The lowest form of humans was at the Primary Rank. Humans at this rank were the weakest. It was also impossible for them to enter dungeons to level up.

This was where breathing techniques rose to the occasion. Breathing techniques were basic cultivation techniques that did not require killing monsters to level up. However, a powerful breathing technique was very important as it would affect the Class of a player.

Different breathing techniques had different attributes. Based on their attributes, players could be categorized into Mages, Assassins, Warriors, Firearm Masters, and other professions. However, other than ordinary Classes, there were some mysterious and unknown Classes that required rare breathing techniques to activate.

The Exorcism Breathing Technique that Li Feng cultivated was the most common breathing technique in the Great Xia Kingdom. It was also the most popular breathing technique among the lower-class members of the Great Xia Kingdom as it could be used to activate common Classes. However, this technique also often represented mediocrity.

It wasn’t that Li Feng didn’t want to choose a better breathing technique. Instead, his family background was ordinary. A year ago, his parents had died in a car accident, and living had almost become a problem for him. Thus, it was impossible for him to obtain a valuable breathing technique.

However, there was always a way out.

When Li Feng was playing mobile games, he accidentally discovered that he could actually extract the skills from the mobile games. This made him extremely happy.

After that, Li Feng kept trying other mobile games. He could only extract skills from the mobile version of Legend of Heroes that had swept the Great Xia Kingdom.

Furthermore, the character in the game had also inherited Li Feng’s weak strength in real life. When he was grinding dungeons, he wasn’t a match for his opponents at all. The monsters inside were fierce and ruthless. Every time he entered a dungeon, he would only be killed instantly.

After nearly a year of bitter training, he had finally mastered excellent evasion skills and was barely able to kill the lowest-leveled Goblins in the game.

“Soon. I’ll be able to learn a powerful skill soon.” Li Feng had the urge to cry.

For the past week, he had been grinding monsters day and night until he was about to vomit. He had finally hit 99% of his EXP bar. As long as he killed another Goblin, he could reach Level 5.

In the game.

Li Feng had chosen a Sharpshooter Class. At this moment, he was holding a novice pistol and shooting wildly at a Goblin who was covered in green algae.

With every shot, a drop of blood would be deducted from the Goblin. However, a Goblin of the lowest level had 100 drops of blood. Furthermore, most importantly, the words “Miss” would occasionally appear on the Goblin.

“Seven days. Do you know how I spent these seven days?”

He was roaring internally, his fingers flying as he manipulated his Sharpshooter character to display dazzling movements and dodge the goblins’ attacks.

He used the strongest technique to deal the least damage.

Ding! A clear notification sounded from the game screen, followed by a prompt. “Killed a Goblin. Game character leveled up to Level 5.”

“The Sharpshooter skills you can extract are as follows:”

“Skill 1: RX Pursuer (Releases a self-destructing robot that can actively pursue the enemy. It erupts with magic damage.)”

“Skill 2: Gatling Gun (Summons a Gatling Gun that 10 bullets per second for 7 seconds.)”

“Skill 3: Silver Bullet (Auxiliary light-attribute energy gathers on the weapon, dealing a certain amount of damage to dark-attribute creatures.)”

“I choose to extract Skill 1: RX Pursuer.”

When Li Feng made his choice, the remaining two skills disappeared. The next moment, a mysterious text entered his mind.
