Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Sudden Update

“Gold quality…” Song Jian’s eyes lit up, staring at the “firework” in midair, blooming with golden light!

Song Jian leaped, catching the item in hand before it fell, and carefully examined it.

“Abyssal Shadow (Gold), Cloak, Equipment Level 30, Equipment Effects: Damage increase by 15%, All attributes +1, Attack speed +10; Special effect 1: Ignore monster level +10, 50% chance to deal 2x damage when hitting targets; Special effect 2: All skill levels +1; Special effect 3: Abyssal Phantom (Active), using Abyssal Power, instantly creates a Doppelganger Illusion with 70% of the user’s attributes and all skills, duration 1 minute, cooldown 10 minutes; Special effect 4: Equipment requirements -5; Equipment Requirement: Level 25. Can this item be taken out of the game: No.”

“An item with a level of 30 that only requires level 25 to be equipped, and can be equipped at level 20 with its gold quality?” Song Jian looked at the entirely black cloak held in his hand, the corner of his mouth revealing an excited smile. This was the first time Song Jian obtained back equipment, and he immediately equipped it on himself as he met the requirements.

Quickly, a heavily worn black cloak, almost decayed and about to crumble, appeared on Song Jian’s back, completely wrapping around his body.

If other players saw this cloak, they would definitely think it was a gray-quality item, but no one would have guessed that it was actually a level 30 gold piece of equipment;

After wearing it, Song Jian immediately felt a significant increase in his strength, as just the 15% increase in damage alone added nearly forty points to the damage dealt; the effect would increase more as Song Jian’s power improved.

The bonus of +1 to all attributes delighted Song Jian, who initially thought it only added six points to all attributes. To his surprise, though, his luck and willpower attributes, which had already manifested, also increased by a point, bringing Song Jian unexpected joy.

Attack speed is an attribute that can never have too much. An increase of 10 points meant that Song Jian would always have an extra attack every five or six when compared to other players.

None of the special effects were garbage properties, and there was even an active skill that could create an Abyssal Phantom. It was almost like having a doppelganger, even though it lasted only a minute; whether for attacking or escaping, this skill would provide unexpected effects;

“This might be the first back equipment to appear in the game!” Song Jian touched the silk-like fabric, thinking secretly. At least, he had never seen other players wearing similar equipment before.

Most of the remaining items were level 30 blue-green equipment, which many players probably couldn’t wear at this stage. Song Jian could directly sell these in the City of Hymns’ Starfire Shop, as the game’s NPCs would eagerly bid for these items.

“Oh, there’s even a Magic Source Stone this big!” Song Jian looked at the unique glowing crystal on the ground, his face showing a joyful expression.

The reason he entered this dungeon was for the Magic Source Stone; he had already collected around 800 grams of it and needed about 200 more grams to build a Magic Tower. He didn’t expect that the last boss would actually drop a Magic Source Stone.

After this stone merged completely with the previous ones, Song Jian obtained a total of 1067 grams of Magic Source Stones, which was enough for building a Magic Tower.

As Song Jian looked at the enormous body of the scorpion king, then back at the Magic Source Stone in his hand, a bizarre thought crossed his mind: “Could it be that there are Magic Source Stones in the stomachs of these golden scorpions?”

Like weeds, this thought rapidly grew in Song Jian’s mind. Just as he was hesitating whether to return to the stone forest and dissect a few golden scorpion corpses, the entire cave began to shake violently.

Originally, the Spatial Rift in midair suddenly extended from the length of a finger to nearly a meter long.

Crack, crack, crack, crack~

Countless tiny cracks spread from the rift, like tentacles probing the space in all directions.

All players in the game suddenly received a red game alert:

System: Dear players, the game’s new version “Abyssal Shadow” will be launched soon. For your safety in the game, please secure your belongings within ten seconds, and find a safe place for your game character to avoid accidents!

Ten, nine, eight, seven,…

Song Jian was dumbfounded, as the entire cave began to shake violently. Huge rocks fell from above as he felt like he was on a rocking boat, barely able to stand.

At that moment, a pale blue teleport gate appeared in front of Song Jian. Seeing the countdown had less than five seconds left, Song Jian dashed towards the gate without hesitation;

The instant Song Jian’s silhouette disappeared into the gate, all the online players were simultaneously kicked out of the game and returned to the real world.

As Song Jian opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the hard bed in his rented room. The window seemed not to be properly closed, and the wind kept blowing in with a “whoosh.”;

It seemed to be late at night, around four or five o’clock. Song Jian’s head felt a little messy as he sat up, and it took him a while to recall the recent memory fragments.

“The game suddenly kicked all players offline, and it seems to be related to the suddenly appearing Spatial Rift in the dungeon!” Song Jian murmured to himself, “That Spatial Rift seemed to be filled with the aura of the Abyss!”

In fact, Song Jian guessed correctly. The game had kicked all the players out because more and more Abyssal Rifts had appeared, not only in dungeons but also in many places in the game. Similar rifts had appeared everywhere; just a few seconds before Song Jian went offline, those rifts suddenly exploded. The areas that were originally just tiny cracks suddenly expanded to several dozen centimeters or even one or two meters long, nearly causing the entire world to collapse.

He picked up his phone and saw that the game icon had turned gray again. After a few taps, there was still no response, so it seemed that he wouldn’t be able to enter the game again today.

Just as Song Jian was about to put down his phone, the communication app suddenly sent out a series of urgent beeps, as if a dozen messages had arrived at once.

Song Jian opened his phone to find that all the groups in the app were frantically forwarding a message: “Do you believe in a game where people can die? If you die in the game, you’ll also disappear in the real world, leaving no trace. It’s terrifying!”

There was also a link below the message. Song Jian casually clicked on it, and his phone screen immediately turned black. An abandoned city slowly emerged from the center of the screen.

Clicking on the abandoned city again, Song Jian entered a web page where the header read “Doomsday City” in large characters.
