super species player.

Chapter 458: Going one step further, double-card five-state complex!

As the two pure gold cards engraved with "turtle-shaped patterns" separated from each other, Jiang Qian's vision quickly blurred.

At the same time, a choice question that affects my future appeared before my eyes:
[Congratulations to the player: Hidden Dragon, your experience value in the Four-State·Complete Stage is now complete! You can now start the review stage for the evolution from the Four-State·Complete Stage to the Five-State·Complex Stage. If you pass the level successfully, you can complete the evolution to the Five-State·Complex Stage; otherwise, it will be considered a failure and the experience value will be reset to zero.]

[Do you want to open the review stage? ]

……

Beijing, Wanzhong Group headquarters, top floor conference center.

Lan Junxian pushed open the door of a vacant meeting room and walked in lightly: "Why are you still here? I heard that it's over over there, why don't you go over and take a look?"

"It's not my turn to charge into battle now."

The conference room was empty. Ji Ming, who was standing in front of the window, turned around and looked unenthusiastic: "If something happens to him, I will know sooner or later. If everything goes well, then he probably doesn't have time to meet me now."

"You are open-minded!"

Lan Junxian smiled and paced forward while saying, "The results of the actual combat assessment are in Jiang Qian's favor. That is the highest evaluation I have ever heard from the family supreme leaders. Although I don't know the specific situation yet, I think Jiang Qian must have shown them unexpected talents."

"That's a good thing! If you grasp it well, his achievements will be recorded in history." Ji Ming said calmly.

"Speaking of which, he has merged three identity cards of the noble level. If everything goes well this time, he will have a chance to advance directly to the fifth state." Lan Junxian asked carefully, "Have you given him any guidance?"

"Of course, whether he can understand and do it is his homework."

Lan Junxian frowned slightly: "How does he decide?"

"He said he would do it within his ability," Ji Ming turned around and leaned his back against the blue sky outside the window, "but I think he will do it."

Lan Junxian's sensitive nerves were tense uncontrollably, even though he tried hard to act natural.

In fact, ever since Jiang Qian returned from the mission at the Sacred Mountain and was "taken over" by the Predator Family, as his enlightenment mentor, he has seldom had the opportunity to come into contact with this one-in-a-million disciple, and it's inevitable that he misses him often.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Although the ten official clans were closely connected, the boundaries between them had always been clear, and they did not interfere with each other's internal affairs.

This is probably the premise for the ten official tribes to be able to cooperate in a friendly manner until now.

"why?"

After much hesitation, Lan Junxian decided to have a more in-depth conversation.

You know, although the move from the fourth state to the fifth state is only a leap within the powerful stage, license holders still have to face risks and bear heavy costs.

Once you fail, not only will you suffer severe physical and mental torture in vain, but even the experience points you have worked hard to gain in the early stages will immediately vanish!
Therefore, when most of the four-state dignitaries have the desire to go further, they will generally make the most thorough preparations and try when the time is right. The success rate is much higher than blindly leaping forward.

Lan Junxian is well aware of Jiang Qian's abilities, but he can't help but feel confused because of his concern.

Taboos are different.

Without any emotional factors involved, his judgment was more objective than Lan Junxian's: "Because Qianlong Wuyong is no longer a 'Qianlong'!"

……

"High Gamble" copy.

In the open space in front of the City of Desire Casino, forty-eight local lawful official license holders gathered.

After everyone experienced the initial surprise, anger, and verbal confrontation, most people quickly calmed down and were able to at least maintain a certain degree of harmonious coexistence.

After all, everyone is stuck in the copy now, abilities are shut down, props are blocked, and they can’t leave, so they can only face each other.

Of course, the most crucial thing is that their attention was quickly diverted.

All the accusations point to one thing – why does the bug occur?

How long will it last? Can they ever return to reality?!

……

It’s no wonder that people are so upset, because this scene is very similar to the “children’s playground” where people were eaten!
For example, Princess Senxi herself has a very real experience.

Even if they have never experienced being locked up, most official license holders have heard of the dangers of the unsolvable dungeon "Children's Paradise"...

"No way, no way? I'm just here to make up for the incident, how could I really encounter such a unfortunate thing that only happens once in a decade?!" The Wasteland Killer God was numb.

Someone immediately reminded him secretly, "Don't be so hypocritical. Isn't Princess Senxi more miserable than you?"

"Fuck! It's true! This is her second time!"

"What is it? I said that beauty is the root of all misfortune. Most of the bad luck is caused by her..."

"Be more polite, brother!"

"I was just joking. Why are you so anxious? Are you a goddess?"

"Shh, people are looking at me..."

The whispers faded.

Hong Hu Yu Fei whispered to comfort him: "Don't listen to their nonsense, they are just gossiping."

"I know." Princess Senxi looked extremely calm. "When people are caught in an unknown situation, they always try to transfer their anxiety to others. Even super-species players with super powers are no exception."

"You still have a good attitude!" The Black Panther girl turned around and smiled, then turned her gaze to the restless crowd, "Where is Qianlong Wuyong..."

They had just gathered together for a while, and Honghu Yufei and Black Panther Girl were still searching for Jiang Qian's figure with their peripheral vision.

"Don't look for him anymore. Qianlong Wuyong is not here." Senxi said directly, "He is in the process of ascending to the Five-State Complex."

This time, Lian Honghu Yufei turned around and stared at Princess Senxi together with the Black Panther Girl.

"Don't be surprised. I'm just guessing. The phenomenon of the license holder temporarily staying in the dungeon after a game ends is only a reasonable explanation."

……

"This doesn't make sense. He has just been promoted to a noble. How could he have accumulated enough experience to advance to the fifth state?"

On the other side, Di Ting Wanjie was also arguing with Bai Xiaoxi about this matter.

Next to them were Xiao Long Nu, Golden Eagle Martial Saint, Ye Xiao Jing and Bai Wu Hen.

"I don't know the specific reasons, I only know that Qianlong Wuyong got a special opportunity in the last mission, and his experience points are already qualified to leap to the fifth level." Bai Xiaoxi spread his hands, indicating that this was all he could say.

"As expected of you, the intelligence officer of the headquarters. Only you dare to say such things." The Golden Eagle Martial Saint said expressionlessly.

Having experienced the bloody lesson of "backstabbing", his attitude towards Bai Xiaoxi did not seem natural.

But we are all adults, and adults should be decent.

"But is he really ready?" Xiaolongnu, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

Unlike other five-type nobles, she knew that Qianlong Wuyong had just completed the fusion of three noble cards. In other words, she knew the "inside story" better than Bai Xiaoxi, so when the detention occurred, she was relatively calmer.

If there was any news that was worth her excitement, it should be Qianlong Wuyong's first kill!

The result was not much different from what she expected, even though it was not just Qianlong Wuyong who cleared the level first. However, now, when she tried to estimate the result of Qianlong Wuyong's leap to the fifth state, her mood suddenly changed.

The price of failure is cruel, so Xiaolongnu inevitably mixed in subjective emotions - she didn't want to see Qianlong Wuyong make an unexpected mistake in the actual combat assessment that was about to end perfectly.

When she realized the problem, Xiaolongnu herself was also surprised.

In her opinion, she and Qianlong Wuyong had only met briefly and could not even be called friends. She did not understand why the other party's gains and losses would affect her emotions.

Fortunately, no one noticed this.

"He is a hidden dragon, a man who creates miracles!"

Di Ting Wanjie suddenly transformed into a fanboy of Qianlong Wuyong and called out in a decisive tone:
“If he not only achieves a perfect victory in this battle, but also directly leaps to the fifth state, then he will truly be enshrined as a god! Even if the leaders of various tribes dislike him, they will not be able to say a single word of ‘no’!”

"Indeed, taking risks at such critical junctures is the best proof of one's strength." The Golden Eagle Martial Saint had witnessed Jiang Qian's performance with his own eyes, and at this moment he was also more expectant than worried.

“But after all, he has been promoted to a high position of power. Even if he is extremely talented, he will still have to pay the price if he fails.” Bai Wuhen said in a deep voice.

Ye Xiaojing, who was not far away, was slightly startled after hearing this.

The price of failure...

She was someone who had just experienced a leap to a high position of power, and no one remembered that ordeal more vividly than she did.

The reason why the number of five-state dignitaries is far lower than that of four-state dignitaries is because the "two red lines" for the leap from four states to five states are too harsh!
These two red lines blocked countless ambitious junior dignitaries and stopped them on their way to the top.

It is more of a protection than a rejection. The result of forcing oneself to climb up when one is not strong enough often results in tragedy and disaster.

Comprehension and endurance are the two red lines that require you to leap to high positions!

They all require time to polish.

If one lacks understanding, one will not be able to perfectly integrate the "natural force" that best suits one's own power system the first time; if one's body's endurance is insufficient, the space for the development of the "natural force" will be fatally restricted.

"indeed."

Bai Xiaoxi also sighed:
"No matter what, Qianlong Wuyong has only been promoted to the rank of noble not long ago. No matter how much experience he has accumulated through special means, he has not yet faced the difficulties of this stage. It would be very risky to make a rash leap."

As soon as she finished speaking, the clear evening sky suddenly became cloudy, and a depressing atmosphere enveloped the head.

Just when everyone began to notice the change in the weather, a sudden thunderclap sounded, making everyone's heart tremble!
"Hey, hey...what's going on?"

"It can't be the same kind of incident as in the Children's Park..."

"Someone is about to leap to the fifth state."

"Eh? Qianlongwuyong, have any of you seen Qianlongwuyong?"

Finally more people are realizing what is really going on.

When clues appear, the picture of events is quickly pieced together, even if it is unbelievable.

The exclamations from the crowd merged with the thunder in the sky, exploding in the exotic copy space.

Different expectations, with their own perspectives focused on the rolling clouds in the sky, as if a special battle was taking place there...

"It's about to begin..."

Ye Xiaojing stared at the thundering sky with burning eyes and prayed devoutly in his heart.

She was closer to Jiang Qian than anyone else present.

Therefore, she understood his understanding better, which was rooted in an absolutely calm spiritual pure land; she witnessed with her own eyes his ability to bear, which always exceeded his age, his experience, and even people's imagination of him.

She hoped more than anyone else that he would return successfully, and at this moment, she was more convinced of this than anyone else.

The voices of different people's discussions rang in my ears.

She remained indifferent, firmly believing in her belief, and stared into the sky.

The clock is ticking...

The rolling darkness was swallowing up the remaining light in the sky. The open space where people stood melted into the abyss. All the brightness and splendor were eclipsed, and all the gazes were like pearls covered by dust.

A burst of thunder, carrying fear with it, entered everyone's ears. The lightning froze the picture at that moment and then quickly went out.

Then, heavy rain came down.

The fine falling liquid vented and continuously recorded the embarrassed outlines of everyone, as if reminding them that the gamble was not over yet.

Some people are still gambling.

There is always someone gambling!

In the end, no one remembered how long the rain lasted.

I only remember that the temperature in my body was being drained away bit by bit, my standing posture was stiff and numb, and my sense of touch was disappearing or about to disappear...

When despair strangles everyone's shell, a beam of faint morning light passes through the thick clouds and falls quietly.

Then the rain stopped.

The thick darkness dissipated.

Disintegrating... being gathered by the gradually expanding light and shadow until it disappeared without a trace.

Everyone was still stiff, just bathing in the light, as if any movement would destroy the intact body...

The scene continued to expand, as if infinite vitality was gushing out!

—Waking everyone up unceremoniously.

The figure flew like a small boat in the air, landed on the other side of the street and turned around.

Facing everyone again with a face that everyone is already familiar with.

Someone suddenly realized that the sky had cleared and the surrounding scene had returned to normal.

Almost at the same time, everyone heard the ending inscription of the "Big Gamble" copy:

[Congratulations, you have survived this crazy journey in the City of Desire! ]

【But it’s only “this time”. 】

[Whether you have climbed to the top and enjoyed great success, or sunk to the bottom and never recovered, please remember that no one can be invincible. ]

PS:

There was a modification in the previous chapter: Bai Xiaoxi asked Jiang Qian if he had seen the pattern on the turtle's back, and adjusted it to a positive answer (and added 700 words of refined content)

I'm gradually wrapping up the story, but sometimes I dig a deeper hole without realizing it... This is probably the trouble that inexperienced authors bring to readers... Maybe I can't be perfect, but I will do my best to make it complete, fill in the holes, and wrap up the main story.

It is a good thing to experience your own growth in difficulties again and again. Thank you for following me all the way!
