Inside the Sea of Stars, Chen Tian looked at his rewards. With a swipe of his left hand, a familiar electronic panel appeared before him.
Pierce Weakness: Has a 30% chance to find the opponent's fatal weakness and strike.
Young Star Whale Egg: An egg of a young Star Whale, which can be hatched into a young Star Whale to fight as a pet.
Starlight Blessing: Under starlight at night, inspiration will be granted, with a maximum of 500 inspiration and an initial inspiration of 300.
Starlight Armor: Armor forged from starlight, grants +300 HP, +200 Constitution, +500 Weapon Mastery.
Starlight Emperor Spear: A long spear forged from starlight, possessing the might of an emperor.
Attributes: +700 Strength, +500 Constitution, +500 Weapon Mastery, +200 Skill Mastery.
Special Skill: Tear Effect, 5% chance to cause a shredding effect, ignoring armor protection and dealing damage.
(Equipment Requirement: Strength, Constitution, Weapon Mastery, Skill Mastery must reach 900.)
Chen Tian looked at his panel. He had received a total of one hundred and sixty attribute points. Including those from leveling up and other rewards, this should be sufficient.
He then equipped the Starlight Armor and reasonably allocated his attribute points, prioritizing speed.
After Chen Tian finished allocating his attribute points, his speed increased from over four hundred to over five hundred, his HP broke through a thousand, his constitution reached over seven hundred, and his weapon mastery reached nine hundred.
He was getting closer to the requirements for using the Starlight Emperor Spear, but Chen Tian was still not satisfied. His attributes were still too low!
He knew that players in other modes could already accumulate attributes exceeding a thousand, yet his remained in the hundreds, making him weak compared to other players.
However, the Lone Survivor mode also had many advantages. Although he was alone, the rewards he received were the most and best across all modes.
"Right, I remember I also got a pair of dual guns before. I wonder if I can use them."
Chen Tian then opened his backpack and saw a pair of dual guns formed from bone spikes. The muzzles of the guns had huge bone spikes, and the entire gun body looked like bone. At the grip, two bone-formed wing-like structures covered them from left and right. The entire pair of dual guns gave off an eerie feeling.
Bone Spike Dual Guns: +200 Weapon Mastery, +300 Skill Mastery, +100 Speed.
Chen Tian looked at the quality of the Bone Spike Dual Guns. They were white-quality weapons.
In the game "Epoch of Time," weapon quality was divided into: White, Blue, Purple, Gold, Seven-Colored, Nine-Colored, and White-Colored.
White quality was the lowest, with the weakest effects and power. But Chen Tian was already content. After all, the Starlight Emperor Spear in his inventory was a purple-quality weapon, and he could use it as long as his attributes met the requirements.
Afterward, a large gate appeared before Chen Tian. He looked at the gate, which was the exit from the Sea of Stars. However, Chen Tian was puzzled. Couldn't he just return the way he came?
Why was there a need for this gate?
Chen Tian might not have known that the impact he had caused had already led to a massive crowd outside the Sea of Stars.
The mysterious boss's silhouette, why the Sea of Stars had turned blood red, the colossal figure – all these were what players were waiting for.
This gate was purely created by the officials to prevent player riots, with the sole purpose of allowing Chen Tian to leave quietly.
Chen Tian thought about it and didn't dwell on it further, then stepped through the gate.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of Epoch of Time, ten figures were all helpless.
"This guy, at level twenty-five, has comprehended a god-tier skill, not to mention his talent and abilities. What kind of stat distribution is this!"
"His luck value isn't even sixty. Is he the chosen one?"
"I feel like he's more of a boss than the bosses we designed."
"Let's not worry about him. How's the event preparation going?"
"It's ready, just waiting for the announcement. This event involves all regions!"
"Wait! All regions? I'm already worried about this guy causing some major disturbance."
The others fell silent. Indeed, Chen Tian's strength, both in terms of game sense and execution, could definitely contend with them. Having such a player appear in the newbie zone was truly unfortunate.
"Ding! You have received an official announcement!"
"Epoch of Time, the 3rd Anniversary Event begins! To celebrate the third anniversary of Epoch of Time's founding, this event will involve all regions and players. The content of this event is a points battle!"
"The regions for this event are divided by level. Each player can choose a location that is no lower than their own level. Killing players of the same level will earn three points, while killing players of a higher level will earn thirty points."
"Points will be compiled into a table at the end. The top ten will receive special rewards. The top one hundred can redeem items with their points. Remaining participating players' points can be converted into their own Epoch Coins at a ratio of one thousand to one hundred!"
"There are registration areas in each major region. Log in with your character information to participate. The event will start in three days!"
"Players participating in the points battle will be uniformly placed into the same region or world. Players participating in the points battle will not drop items even if they die. Players within the event have three revival opportunities, and each revival will add ten points to their score."
"We hope all players will strive hard. Epoch of Time wishes everyone a happy gaming experience!"
Chen Tian looked at the screen before him. An anniversary event?
It seemed interesting. He decided to participate.
In the city, Chen Tian arrived at the registration area and logged in his character information.
His profession was still a dual-speed assassin. At the same time, Chen Tian was looking for shops within the city.
He needed to buy a pair of blades. As a dual-speed assassin, his weapons were either daggers or short swords, but his current equipment was not suitable.
In Epoch of Time, there were weapon shops, item shops, and various other establishments. Players could purchase anything they needed within these shops.
In the game Epoch of Time, the currency for purchasing necessary resources was Epoch Coins, a special in-game currency equivalent to real-world money.
Chen Tian first went to the currency exchange area. Here, he approached a young NPC and placed his index finger on the youth's forehead.
Chen Tian looked at the items in his backpack: a gold thread, a silver thread, the Bone Spike Dual Guns, and the Starlight Emperor Spear.
There was also a balance for exchanging Epoch Coins displayed behind him.
Chen Tian looked at the price of the Bone Spike Dual Guns, valued at seven hundred Epoch Coins, the normal price for a white-quality item.
In the game Epoch of Time, players' weapons and items could be exchanged for Epoch Coins. Furthermore, white-quality items had no transaction fees deducted upon exchange.
For items above white quality, transaction fees would be deducted according to their quality tier.
Chen Tian then clicked on the Bone Spike Dual Guns. The youth said happily, "Adventurer, I'm very happy you can gift me these dual guns. Here are seven hundred Epoch Coins, please accept them!"
"Ding!"
An electronic screen appeared. As the Epoch Coins arrived, the youth's expression drastically changed as he said, "Adventurer, I have a special mission here. Do you accept?"
"This mission pertains to the origin and information of these dual guns!"
It had to be said that the NPCs in Epoch of Time were created with incredible realism, looking and acting almost like real people.
Looking at the pleading and frightened youth, a mission appeared before Chen Tian's eyes.
This could trigger a mission too?
Chen Tian pondered, was it due to his special mode? But the appearance rate of this mission was too high!
The Lone Survivor mode was different from other modes. Player missions were triggered by luck, but this trigger rate was too high!
He looked at the electronic screen before him, which displayed Yes and No.
Chen Tian clicked on "Yes." Simultaneously, the youth's expression calmed down as if recalling something. With a look of resignation, he opened his mouth and said, "Respected Adventurer, I am very pleased that you have accepted this mission. The danger level of this mission is A-class."
"I was once a prince of an empire, Xiya Zi. Due to certain special circumstances, I fell into hardship and became the manager of this shop, evading some people's pursuit."
"These dual guns were one of my lost dual guns. They have become this way only because they lost my enhancement. Now that these dual guns are back in my hands, those people will not let me go. I hope Adventurer can help me hold on for three days, so that I can restore these dual guns to their original appearance and recover my strength within these three days."
"In the end, I will surely bestow generous rewards upon you, Adventurer!"
"Do you accept this mission!"
Chen Tian looked at the mission panel before him. Without hesitation, three days was a short period, just enough for the event to start. In the real world, it was only three hours. There was no reason to hesitate.
He directly clicked "Yes." As he clicked "Yes," the surrounding scenery flashed, and Chen Tian instantly appeared before a secret room.
Xiya Zi's voice echoed from within the room.
"Adventurer, I am going to begin repairing the dual guns and extracting the residual power from them to recover some of my strength. During this period, I hope you will protect me!"
"Okay!"
Chen Tian replied and then stood guard outside the secret room.
There were many races and factions in Epoch of Time, including empires and royal families.
Chen Tian was unsure at which level advanced factions like empires and royal families appeared, but he felt this mission was not that simple.
"Just ahead, sir, I sense the aura of those dual guns ahead. Brothers, let's charge in and kill the traitor!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Soldiers appeared before Chen Tian in neat formations. Chen Tian's eyes widened, and he instantly extended his fingers, pointing them at the soldiers.
A screen appeared before Chen Tian.
