Chapter 1: The Golden List Rewards Shock All Sides
Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou City.
Sui Xin Tea House.
A handsome young storyteller stood on a high platform, reciting a story he had made up.
As the story came to a close, the audience erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.
"good!"
"This locked-room mystery is really cool!"
"Manager Lin, one more verse!!"
"..."
Despite the enthusiastic calls, Lin Chen simply waved his hand, bowed slightly in farewell, and slowly walked back behind the scenes.
His teahouse is named "Sui Xin" (meaning "at will"), which emphasizes freedom and flexibility. Once you pay for the tea, you can drink it however you like.
But when he tells stories and what stories he tells are entirely up to his mood; if he doesn't want to tell a story, no one can force him.
Those sitting below the stage were all regulars and knew this well, so they naturally didn't make any further requests. After watching Lin Chen leave, they chatted with their friends over tea.
"Lin Chen!"
Suddenly, just as Lin Chen stepped out of the teahouse, a sweet voice rang out behind him.
"Princess Xueke," Lin Chen turned around and asked.
"What is it?"
Xue Ke's eyes sparkled as she gazed at Lin Chen with adoration.
"Master storyteller, of course I have something to say. Shall we sit over there and tell our story?"
A storytelling master?
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, realizing that he had unintentionally acquired another title.
Having transmigrated through Douluo Continent for decades, he awakened a system called the [Role-Playing System]. By experiencing different roles, he could gain the quasi-god strength of the corresponding character.
That is, the limit of this world is level 99, and level 99 is further divided into pseudo-demigod, demigod, and quasi-god level!
Over the years, while playing various roles, he has also acquired many nicknames, also known as pseudonyms.
such as:
[Pseudo-God Level: King of Assassins - Nightmare]
[Quasi-God Level: Supreme Alchemist Yao Chen]
[Quasi-God Level: Artifact Builder - Ouzhi]
[Quasi-God Level: Grandmaster of Formations - Tian Shu Zi]
……
[Beast King]
【The Carefree Sword Immortal】
Waiting for ten quasi-god level titles!
If the system hadn't fallen into a deep sleep later, and if he hadn't lost contact with the God Realm, he would have already ascended to a multi-god position and left Douluo Continent.
"it is good."
Lin Chen responded, and then they sat down in the pavilion.
As the sun set, its orange-red glow bathed the two of them, making them appear like celestial beings.
"Lin Chen, you truly deserve to be called the number one storyteller in Tiandou City, especially today's secret chamber legend was so wonderful."
After praising her, Xue Ke abruptly changed the subject, saying angrily:
"That sect leader is utterly inhuman, worse than a beast! He imprisoned his disciple, and... he even raped her!"
"Hmph, he deserves to die! If it were me, I would have killed him too!"
"Lin Chen, is this exciting story fake? Or is it based on a true story?"
When women gossip, it's like men discussing World War II when they're drunk.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Guess?"
"Whether it's true or not, such a wonderful story should be spread more widely to enrich more people's lives."
Xue Ke didn't bother guessing. She had known Lin Chen for so long, and every time she asked him a question, when had she ever received a definite answer? It was always ambiguous, and she knew that.
Lin Chen nodded and subconsciously said, "Yeah, but don't tell your older brother (Xue Qinghe) when you get back."
"Princess, you didn't just come to talk to me about this, did you?"
"hey-hey."
Xue Ke chuckled, realizing she'd been seen through.
She didn't know why Lin Chen could always see through her, even though he hadn't revealed anything.
Since he mentioned his elder brother first, let's take the opportunity to back down.
"Lin Chen, you are so talented, it's a real waste for you to stay here. I sincerely invite you to join the palace. I will petition my father, the Emperor, to offer you a high-ranking official position and generous salary. What do you say?"
Xue Ke invited Lin Chen to serve as an official in the palace, not just because of his storytelling skills.
Instead, after spending so much time together, she discovered that Lin Chen was an exceptionally talented individual!
Take his teahouse for example. There are many well-known teahouses in Tiandou City, and their owners all have powerful backers.
Lin Chen had nothing behind him, yet he still managed to run the teahouse so successfully!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the number one venue in Tiandou City!
Why don't the bosses who got a slice of the pie cause trouble?
Why has this teahouse never experienced a single serious incident such as fighting or brawling in all its years of operation?
Although Xue Ke didn't know the reason behind this, it wasn't hard to see that it was all due to Lin Chen's abilities.
Otherwise, it would be some wicked businessmen who have suddenly become kind-hearted.
Why would they kindly let someone with no connections steal their business?
What a joke! That's absolutely impossible!
Therefore, she was certain that Lin Chen was an extraordinary talent!
Inviting him to serve in the palace wasn't just about holding an official position; it was about assisting her elder brother, the Crown Prince, in successfully ascending the throne! (This was because Xue Qinghe treated Xue Ke very well.)
Lin Chen still had a smile on his face, just as he was about to speak.
Sudden.
An extremely mysterious power enveloped the entire Douluo Star.
In the sky, a golden canopy slowly unfolded, like a golden avenue.
Seeing this sudden scene, Lin Chen and Xue Ke both looked up, their faces filled with confusion.
at the same time.
The creatures in every corner of the Douluo Continent instantly erupted in excitement.
No one, no beast, has ever seen anything so wondrous.
The powerful forces that control various secret ancient books searched through them but found no relevant records.
The world is confused, but Lin Chen alone is clear-headed.
Having read countless novels in his previous life, he naturally knew what the things in the sky were.
However, the sudden appearance of this thing made him pause for a moment in confusion, but only for a moment.
Then.
Under the watchful eyes of the beings of Douluo Star, lines of subtitles slowly appeared on the "Golden Avenue".
[The Sky's Strongest Ranking: A List of the Top Ten Strongest Figures in the Douluo Continent.]
Those who make the list will receive corresponding rewards; the stronger they are, the richer the rewards.
This canopy is quite user-friendly; it not only displays text but also provides real-time audio, catering to both illiterate people and animals.
Upon learning of the commotion, all the creatures present erupted in excitement.
Besides the major human powers
And there's also the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor in the Arctic!
The Demon Whale of the Deep Sea!
The powerful soul beasts, including the Silver Dragon King, in the Lake of Life also looked up at the sky.
However, they still didn't understand what the Skyfall Supreme Ranking was, let alone what the so-called rewards were.
"The Sky's Strongest Ranking?"
"Hey you with the big dick, explain to me where this thing came from?"
Just when all living beings were racking their brains trying to figure it out, the Heavenly Supreme Ranking seemed to sense something and immediately the words appeared again.
This is the Heavenly Power Ranking, a list of the top ten strongest individuals in the Douluo Continent today.
[Assessment Standard: Based on real-time performance.]
The list of successful candidates is subject to change at any time, and those who make the list will receive corresponding rewards.
[Warning: No living being may covet the heavens! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!]
……
Snow-capped peaks, the hidden Haotian Sect.
"A real-time inventory of the world's strongest figures! This... is extremely important for our Clear Sky Sect!"
"We can use this to understand the true situation of the powerful figures on the mainland today..."
"And is Tang Chen, the patriarch, still alive?"
