“Launch Two, how did someone get the Life Skill Inheritance? This must be a joke!”
“This Inheritance sounds impressive!”
“No way, this game is stingy to the core. How could anyone get Inheritance so easily?”
“I want to file a complaint! Made—these stupid NPCs look down on people. I’m being harassed just for completing a quest!”
“Hey, my brother, you can’t blame the NPCs for their quirks. I think the real idiot here is you.”
“What did you just say? Do you want to fight? Believe it or not, I could take you down in an instant!”
“Oh come on, do you think you’re Killer Emperor? You really think you could take me out? You’ve been watching too many Forum videos—”
Laughter erupted around them, and the player’s face grew increasingly sour as he slipped away from the crowd under their mocking gazes.
“Speaking of Killer Emperor, that girl is truly ruthless. One arrow for one kill; she took down three people with three arrows. My archer is amazing!”
“I think this Broken Legacy is real. Even though the quests are tough, some people just have the skills. Sigh, I wish I could cling to someone powerful—”
A group of onlookers continued to watch the discussion on Forum with puzzled expressions.
818 that Launch Two actually got Inheritance from a Mysterious Player
Flowing strategies, unchanging game
Reincarnated as a Miner, Now a Blacksmith
In a clearing at the Leveling Spot, a team was training in an orderly manner.
"Heartless, any news from the Information Broker?" Jiang Wulang asked as he knocked a wild boar into the air.
"No reply yet. Even if there is news, the major studios and guilds won't just sit around. Besides, one announcement doesn't mean much," Pan Wuxin replied casually, glancing at the system announcement hanging high in the air. "I've heard that half of the Elite Team from the Evil Guild has already reached level five. Analyzing it, most mid-tier players are around that level. Our studio's Elite Team has only two-thirds meeting the standard. We need to step up our leveling. Three Thousand is expected back in ten days; when she returns, her level will need some serious attention."
"Three Thousand can handle her own arrangements for now. As for..." He gestured for Pan Wuxin to observe the newcomer, Song and Dance, who was frowning and hesitating as she faced an approaching wild boar. "This girl probably can't handle this job. I think Silent would be more suitable for the position we currently lack."
"Stop thinking about it; she's already rejected us thoroughly," Pan Wuxin said as he effortlessly took down a Sixth-Level Wild Boar without any pressure of fighting above his level. "That Killer Emperor in the video, even though her beauty was blurred by the system, you seemed to recognize her?"
At this, Jiang Wulang paused momentarily before nodding. "It's Silent."
"Oh? Her gear must have been obtained from hunting Wildcats in the forest, right? Our herb-gathering team has been there before. If she was after Plantago Seeds, that wouldn't make sense; the Refresh Points we later chose were much safer than that one. However—"
"Unless there's some benefit we don't know about." Jiang Wulang calmly picked up on his thought, casting a glance at the players around them who were avoiding eye contact with them, ignoring their envious and jealous stares. "It might also be related to Blacksmith Inheritance; her weapon is similar to mine and comes from the Blacksmith Shop."
Upon hearing this, Pan Wuxin paused in his task of hunting wild boars, his brow slightly furrowed. "In that case, we received news earlier that the Evil Guild is looking for players who can access the Inheritance. Should we sell this information, this favor?"
"No," Jiang Wulang replied firmly.
Noticing his calm demeanor, Pan Wuxin concealed his doubts and asked, "How's it going with your sister-in-law? We can all help with the studio's funding issues."
"We're planning to clean up some positions below and streamline things," he said, glancing at Song and Dance not far away. When he turned back to Pan Wuxin, his voice grew serious. "I know Dangerous Building and Cai are preparing to take people to Luo Ran Residence."
This time, Pan Wuxin was genuinely surprised. "I only found out this morning by chance that Dangerous Building had an analysis report on Luo Ran Residence on their table. When did you find out?"
"After the last 'down' help battle ended, the iron-hearted Wolf from Luo Ran Residence approached Dangerous Building alone."
"That early?" A faint expression crossed Pan Wuxin's face; they truly didn't care much about Dangerous Building and Cai.
"So, you're using the studio's financial crisis as an excuse to clean them out?"
"Not entirely," Jiang Wulang said with a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth. "Amiao wants to apply for Area A citizenship for the baby so that they can go to S Institute for treatment."
"I remember that not long ago, S released a batch of names for clinical trial participants. There were five hundred spots available in S Zone. Didn't your sister-in-law get one?"
"At that time, Amiao went home to plead with her family patriarch, thinking there was a chance. You know how her family is; her patriarch has always looked down on my background, believing it's my genetic issue that caused the child's R Gene Disease." His background was a thorn in his heart that would never fade. Even now, having established a studio in S Zone and gained S Zone status, it couldn't change the past.
Thinking of the child whose health was deteriorating only deepened the shadow in his heart. "For now, I will allocate some funds; the studio's funding will temporarily enter a low-consumption mode. Once Zero Point starts making a profit, we will halt activities related to 'down,' 'Divine Wander,' and 'Sword Network,' and fully invest in Zero Point. My intuition tells me that Zero Point is extraordinary."
"Alright."
Yan Yan glanced at the chaotic discussions in the Forum, quickly closing it. These messages would only be trending for a moment before fading away. What concerned her was that several God-Level Players from her previous life had not yet made an appearance.
As dusk approached, she set aside her worries and hurried to the general store in the novice village.
Upon arriving at the store, she sold off items like Wild Lynx Fur and Beginner's Outfit from her backpack. After exchanging them for a few copper coins, detailed information about the store appeared on her map, followed by a notification from the System.
System: Congratulations Player Remains Silent for completing the quest "Familiarize with Novice Village 77."
Just as she finished the quest, a flash of light enveloped her.
System: Congratulations Player Remains Silent! Level has increased to 5.
Finally reaching level 5, she planned to take on the Wild Boar King in the novice village. Her Quest Log only had tasks from Zhang the Blacksmith and Zhao Hunter left, but—
Her gaze drifted into the distance as the last glimmer of light faded away, and the village returned to its peaceful night. The game System reminded her that the time limit had been reached, prompting her to dash to the Safe Zone and swiftly log out of the game.
Removing her helmet, she opened her wrist communicator. The familiar chime echoed as two messages from Uncle Li appeared, while Strict Language remained silent.
"Sister Two, Ji Yang is sending people to search for you and Eldest Sister. Please be careful."
"Sister Two, Liu Yufeng and Yan Siming have already arrived at E Zone. We haven't gathered specific information yet. Yan Qingyue and Yan Lang have been taken away by Ji Yang."
When her gaze fell upon Ji Yang, a heaviness settled in her heart. She was all too familiar with Ji Yang's methods. The thought of applying for citizenship in the S Zone, given the identity of Strict Language Zone, became increasingly clear in her mind.
"Uncle Li, please keep an eye on Ji Yang's movements for now. We'll discuss other actions later according to my plan." After sending the message, she waited for a moment without receiving a reply. She then stood up and proceeded to do several sets of physical exercises as usual. After quickly downing a Nutritional Supplement and washing up briefly, a wave of fatigue washed over her, and she collapsed into a deep sleep.
When she woke up, her spirits were restored. She put on her helmet and entered the game.
As soon as she logged in, she received a message from the Information Broker:
"Hey girl, the Evil Guild has bought your information. The deal is done, and the gold coins have been sent to you. It's a 50-50 split."
She glanced at the ten gold coins in her mailbox, lowered her eyelids, contemplated for a moment, and simply replied with an "Mm" before closing the message interface.
Players were bustling about on the road; most of them were no longer dressed in Beginner's Outfits. There were even two or three players wielding Bronze Longbows. In the Safe Zone of the novice village, some were even setting up stalls to sell items, creating a lively atmosphere that was starkly different from the quietness of the novice village at night.
Arriving near Zhao Hunter's house, she caught sight of a player through the open door.
Who could it be?
"Hey, Girl is here," Zhao Hunter said as he stepped out from the inner room. Spotting Yan Yan standing outside, he pointed to a pile of wood nearby and said, "First, chop the firewood."
Just as Zhao Hunter spoke, the player's gaze in the courtyard shifted toward Yan Yan's direction.
