Chapter 49 The Antidote Bead

Guided by Bennett's soul, Nie Yan quickly found the second dark treant. There were indeed others here!

With the experience of killing the first dark treant, it became easier to kill the others. Following the same process, he felled one dark treant after another. He didn't find the remaining two fragments of Nadaka's legendary items, but the Giant Ballista Design fragments gradually increased. After taking down six dark treants, he finally collected all five design fragments.

In the future, these kinds of design blueprints would definitely become more common, and the guild would need a large number of mechanics. Although Nirvana Guild had been vigorously training them and had already achieved some results, this development had stagnated recently due to financial constraints. Without a large amount of capital investment, even a skilled woman couldn't cook without rice.

Nie Yan had come to the underground world to solve Nirvana Guild's financial difficulties. With money, he could train more mechanics with good talent and make these giant ballistas.

After spending an entire day, Nie Yan finally collected all three fragments of the Antidote Bead. When these three Antidote Beads were put together, they emitted a dazzling light and then slowly merged together, turning into a round, pigeon-egg-sized bead, emitting a faint green light, sometimes visible, sometimes not.

He checked the attributes of the Antidote Bead.

Antidote Bead: Special Item, Quantity 1/3. Occupies one accessory slot.

Item Attributes: Holding this item grants +30 poison resistance, ignores all intermediate poisons, comes with the skill, Advanced Detoxification, removes all high-level and lower-level poison effects on the body. This skill has a five-minute cooldown.

Restriction: None.

The Antidote Bead and Heart of Lava each had their own uses. Having these things on him would be very useful, at least when encountering emergencies.

Throughout the day, Nie Yan's level also rose from level 58 to level 63, surpassing Tang Yao, who was at the top of the level rankings. Tang Yao was currently at level 60. As for the others, the highest level was only 58.

Seeing Nie Yan's level, Tang Yao was speechless. No matter what, his level was always lower than Nie Yan's.

Nie Yan had made up his mind. From now on, he would widen the gap between himself and ordinary players. His goal was level 100, Shadow Dance! And then, equipped with a complete set of Abak equipment, charge straight to level 180!

At that time, in full divine equipment, he would show no mercy to any enemy!

As a reborn, he must use this overwhelming momentum to defeat all enemies, so that they wouldn't even dare to harbor a trace of resistance when they saw him!

Of course, this goal was a long one. Precisely because he was reborn, he understood the difficulty of reaching level 180!

Moreover, once the highest-level players exceeded the level of the players below them too much, it would trigger a system adjustment. The system would adjust the experience points, making it easier for the players below to level up, so that they wouldn't be left too far behind.

Even if the system adjusted, so what!

As the most powerful mainframe of humanity, the Federation used laws to constrain its programmed behavior, but it had no right to modify the mainframe's data.

As long as Nie Yan's behavior complied with the mainframe's rules, there would be no problems.

Nie Yan logged off and went to the company. Under Ah Chen's leadership, War God had begun its journey of conquest. Nirvana Guild sent a large number of elite players to assist War God Tribe. With the help of Nirvana Guild, War God Tribe forcefully occupied three fortresses in Nissod City. The top players of Nirvana Guild were simply unreasonably strong. Wherever they were, the situation on the battlefield was basically one-sided. The Tuoba family retreated again and again, and Tuoba Hongye flew into a rage, but he couldn't find any outside help. The Tuoba family had fallen out with the Century Financial Group before, and the Century Financial Group would definitely not come to their rescue. In the entire Greenland Empire, there was basically no one who could compete with Nirvana Guild and War God Tribe. As for reality, the other two members of the Tuoba family were hindering him, making it even more difficult for him to act. He saw that the position of the family head was in danger, and the general trend was gone.

The rise of War God Tribe was too strong and caught people off guard. After Nie's father took over the three credit point commercial districts, Nie's family alone was unable to develop them. He found several business clients to jointly develop the credit point commercial districts, and he made a fortune by collecting transfer fees.

On the other side, Nie's father reached a cooperation with Tuoba Shi. After this business was completed, Nie's family's capital would be expanded several times.

In the previous life, with the development situation of Nie's family, if Cao Xu hadn't intervened, they would definitely have been able to develop into a large consortium. It was a pity that Nie's family's development momentum was too strong at the time, touching the interests of the Century Financial Group, which then decided to take action against Nie's family. In the previous life, with the Century Financial Group's strength, Nie's family's business shrank by more than half at once. In the final analysis, their strength was not enough.

The development situation in this life was a little different. At least in the virtual industry, with Nirvana Guild escorting them, War God Tribe could be said to be progressing steadily.

War God Tribe's funds were gradually becoming more abundant, and they could even support Nirvana Guild in return. Nie Yan was relieved. After these five days, he would make Warblade Soaked in Blood completely collapse!

Warblade Soaked in Blood had already been reduced to its last gasp, with more than half of its members gone, leaving only the core members, about fifty or sixty thousand. Their combat power was still astonishing. If they fought desperately, they could indeed cause some trouble for Nirvana Guild.

In the previous war over the bounty orders, Nirvana Guild also suffered heavy losses and couldn't withstand many more battles. Recently, with Nie Yan's capital injection, they had regained their vitality, and they still needed to recuperate. Anyway, now that they had money, they would drag out Warblade Soaked in Blood, dragging them to the point of being half-dead!

After working hard for a day, he went out shopping with Xie Yao, which was quite enjoyable. Xie Yao's father also tacitly approved of Nie Yan and Xie Yao being together.

According to Xie Yao, her parents would probably stay at home for three or four days and then fly to Europe.

When he was at Xie Yao's house, looking at Xie Yao's delicate and lovely appearance, Nie Yan's heart itched, but he had to pretend to be serious.

But he was also calm. He had waited so many years in his previous life, and he didn't mind waiting another year or two. When the conditions were met, he would gloriously make Xie Yao his woman. Instead of waiting for the favors of the Dragonleap Financial Group and Zhengrong Financial Group, it would be better to make Nie's family strong, so that the Dragonleap Financial Group and Zhengrong Financial Group would be subdued, so that a shrew like Xie Yi would have nothing to say!

In the evening, Nie Yan returned home. He found that a huge gaming pod was standing quietly in his room. This gaming pod was about two and a half meters high and was made of transparent special materials. Various complex instruments and chips were placed on both sides, looking very precise. Walking in and closing the gaming pod door, he could enter the virtual world through bioelectricity.

The gaming pod was equipped with nutrient solution, which would provide the human body with the necessary energy and improve the user's physique.

Seeing the logo of Sword of Darkness in the corner of the gaming pod, Nie Yan's heart was shaken. It was a Sword of Darkness gaming pod!

In his previous life, as a fanatical Faith enthusiast, Nie Yan had collected information on all types of Faith gaming pods. Among them, the Sword of Darkness series was the most stable in performance, with even the worst costing more than 50 million.

There was a note on the table next to the gaming pod. It was his father's handwriting. It said a few words: "To congratulate you on being admitted to the First Military Academy, your mother said she would buy you a gaming pod."

His father was always not good at expressing his concern for Nie Yan, pushing all the credit to his mother's head, but Nie Yan could still feel his father's deep love from this note.

Nie Yan called both his father and mother.

Nie Yan had long wanted to buy a good gaming helmet. As for the gaming pod, he hadn't thought about it for the time being, because it was too expensive and a bit wasteful. He didn't expect his father and mother to buy one for him directly. With the gaming pod, Nie Yan's operations in the game would be smoother, especially when using free-form skills. Using free-form skills had high requirements for equipment. Generally, after players advanced to Master Thief, they would buy a better gaming helmet. If they had a gaming pod like Nie Yan, that would be even better.

From now on, he could say goodbye to gaming helmets!

Nie Yan put on the clothes specially for the gaming pod and entered the gaming pod. A weak electric current flowed through his body, which was very comfortable. A white light flashed, and he entered Faith.

As soon as he entered Faith, Nie Yan noticed a clear difference. Everything around him became clearer and more realistic. When he touched objects with his hands, even the slightest sensation could be clearly transmitted to his mind. He moved around, and his body moved more smoothly. All of this made Nie Yan excited. As expected, having a gaming pod was different.

Nie Yan shifted his feet and made a backstab motion, which was much easier than before.

After familiarizing himself with the gaming pod, Nie Yan continued his current task. Under the guidance of Bennett's soul, he gradually went deeper into the volcanic area. A lava river flowed down the hillside, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur.

Nie Yan put on the Ring of Leaping and jumped over the lava river. On the hillside, a deep cave appeared in front of him. He didn't know what was inside.

Because this map was relatively high-level, Nie Yan was a little worried about whether there would be any danger, but at this moment, Bennett's soul trembled violently and flew inside.

Nie Yan hesitated for a moment, but still followed. Since he had come here, if he retreated, he would have wasted all his previous efforts.

A wave of scorching heat erupted from the cave. If he hadn't been equipped with the Heart of Lava, this scorching temperature would definitely have caused him to continuously lose health.

Walking through the cave, the walls were covered with yellow crystals, which were all sulfur, the material for making gunpowder. It was a pity that he needed to find miners to collect them.
