Chapter 80

When Sun Yuan woke up, it was the next morning. The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the air was filled with the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

If it weren't for the occasional roars of the spore people, it would have been a perfect day to go out on a date with his girlfriend.

Sun Yuan hadn't even had time to stretch when his attribute panel popped up forcibly.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

[You have 35 friend messages and 2 system announcements. Please check them promptly!]

Sun Yuan opened his mailbox.

The friend messages were from Zhuo Wen, Zhen Yu, Shen Jingran, and Zhao Siyu, all asking what Sun Yuan was doing and wanting to meet up and act together.

The two system announcements were one notifying Sun Yuan that the seven-day, six-night survival battle had begun, and another from the Silver Horse, urging him to hurry up and stop sleeping.

[Player Sun Yuan, even a donkey in the production team wouldn't rest this much. Do you know how many opportunities you're losing by sleeping? How far behind others you are?]

The words of the Silver Horse were filled with dissatisfaction.

Ever since Sun Yuan started sleeping, the gods had all left, causing the channel's popularity to plummet. What if the gods liked other players under other horses during this time?

Seeing the message from the Silver Horse, Sun Yuan frowned and opened the personal achievement rankings.

The top-ranked player was still Sun Yuan.

There was no way around it; his performance in the Tower of God was simply too outstanding, even killing the Mother of Spores, which gave him a very high evaluation.

The next nine players, the top ten in the personal achievement rankings, had all appeared.

Sun Yuan looked at the second-ranked player, named Two-Faced Buddha. From this name alone, it was hard to tell anything, but it probably wasn't a Buddhist believer, right?

Because calling someone a Two-Faced Buddha is inherently disrespectful to Buddhism.

Sun Yuan knew that in Thailand, there was a Four-Faced Buddha, which was said to be very effective, and many people went to this country to worship it.

The third-ranked player's nickname was Girl Killer.

Another ambiguous nickname. Was it a girl who was a killer, or a killer who liked to kill girls?

However, naming oneself a 'killer' clearly indicated someone in their rebellious teenage years, who liked such over-the-top and cool-sounding words.

Sun Yuan continued to look down and then laughed.

The fourth-ranked player's nickname was Aotu Man!

It was probably a pun on Ultraman.

Speaking of which, for a player to rank so high on the personal achievement list, their combat strength must be very strong, and they clearly weren't a child. So, at this age, still liking Ultraman, were they still a child at heart?

The fifth-ranked player was someone Sun Yuan had met before.

Their nickname was Winter Snow.

This player ranked first in the personal popularity list.

Sun Yuan's gaze continued to scan down. For now, he would focus on the top ten, who were the strongest competitors he would face in the ancient city.

After memorizing these nicknames, he began to reply to Zhen Yu and the others.

"I'll act alone first, go outside the school to scout, and you all be careful."

Sun Yuan planned to find the vending machines near the Ancient City University and kill those rare monsters. His minimum goal was to obtain a Dragon Slayer-level equipment and a spatial backpack.

Acting alone was definitely more convenient, and more importantly, he wouldn't have to worry about exposing his beta tester identity.

Otherwise, when facing rare monsters that drop equipment, Sun Yuan's accuracy would make anyone suspicious.

"By the way, I need to think of a way to deal with the gods. I can't let them notice anything."

Sun Yuan thought about this, then went to the power outlet, picked up his phone, and saw that it was fully charged. He unplugged it and turned it on.

Soon, a series of WeChat notification sounds came.

Sun Yuan looked and saw nearly a hundred personal messages, all from Zhen Yu and Shen Jingran, and even more in the class group.

Sun Yuan quickly scanned through them. The most talkative was Zheng Chun, who was organizing everyone to form a temporary team to survive together.

He also asked Sunflower to support him, but Sunflower ignored him.

Sun Yuan knew that Sunflower was Shen Jingran.

This time, Shen Jingran was very low-key and didn't show up in the group at all, clearly having some ulterior motives.

After reading the messages, Sun Yuan put his phone in his pocket.

He estimated that in about half a month, without maintenance, the communication base stations would become useless, and phones would become worthless. At that time, players would either have to buy communication devices from the game store or rely on the basic communication function in the attribute panel for long-distance communication.

The latter didn't cost points but couldn't be used in the Tower of God.

Rumble!

Sun Yuan's stomach growled. Normally, he would go to the second floor of the school cafeteria for a plate of stir-fried noodles or go outside for a bowl of beef noodles without beef, but he couldn't do that now. Instead, he lowered his head to check his body.

Where was the activated soul power?

Sun Yuan found no abnormalities on his body, still in human form, but his mind contained some mysterious knowledge.

Witch Nightmare?

Is this the name of my soul power?

As Sun Yuan pondered this knowledge, the more he studied, the more his frown deepened. Making people go crazy? Mental pollution? What kind of nonsense is this?

And to activate the ability, two conditions must be met?

Can't it be simpler, like a Fire Fist or something?

In the mobile game, Sun Yuan hadn't activated soul power and hadn't seen any players with such supernatural abilities, so he was at a loss.

He couldn't just randomly find someone to test it, right?

What if he really made someone go crazy?

It seemed there was no way to cure it.

His ability could only make people go crazy, not make crazy people normal.

"Whatever, I won't think about it. I need to find food first!"

Sun Yuan was starving. He got up, checked his backpack to ensure nothing was missing, and placed his weapons in the most convenient positions. Then he began to move the desks and chairs blocking the classroom door.

Ding!

[Congratulations, Player Sun Yuan, you have activated your soul power and become a Prophet. Enjoy the game!]

A game announcement popped up.

"How many Prophets are there in the ancient city now?"

Sun Yuan casually replied, hoping to get some information for free.

"Can't tell you, but you're not the first!"

The Silver Horse's response was cold and merciless, showing no favoritism to its top player.

"Then how is my soul power? Is it strong? Is it rare? Where would it rank among these Prophets?"

Sun Yuan continued to ask.

"You activated your soul power with the highest-grade diamond soul stone. Do you think it's strong? In short, it might not be the strongest, but it's definitely the most suitable ability for you."

The Silver Horse, worried that Sun Yuan would be disappointed, gave a gentle compliment.

To be honest, the soul power Sun Yuan activated was something it hadn't seen in its database, a completely new and unknown ability.

Sun Yuan walked out of the classroom, looked left and right, and saw no one and no monsters. He quickly moved along the west corridor. Before he could go downstairs, a frantic "Help!" broke the silence and hit his ears.
