Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

Chapter 252: Chapter 251: Sky Castle, The Girl Selling Wings



WHISH!

White light descended, and Zhang Yue appeared in a city shrouded in mist, resembling a paradise.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[Tenth World · Sky Castle]

[Background: The human continent was overrun by parasites. These parasites possessed powerful parasitic abilities, taking over every living organism on the continent. Forced to abandon their homeland, humanity built Sky Castle to escape the attacks by relying on altitude…]

[World Quest 1: In Sky Castle, collect energy crystals by killing parasites to forge a pair of orange wings (Progress: White/Orange).]

[World Quest 2: Kill ten lord-level parasites in Sky Castle (Progress: 0/10).]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Looking around, Zhang Yue saw that everyone moving through Sky Castle—be they adventurers or NPCs—had wings on their backs.

White, green, blue, purple... Wings of all colors.

This was the hallmark of the Tenth World.

Adventurers relied on wings to fly to the continent, where they killed parasites to collect the energy crystals inside them. These crystals could be used to forge or upgrade wings.

Beyond flight, wings also boosted adventurers' stats.

The higher the quality of the wings, the better their stat boosts, with quality determined by color.

Finally, when leaving the Tenth World, adventurers could fuse their wings to permanently retain the stat bonuses.

Thus, collecting energy crystals to craft high-tier wings—and selling them for profit—was a major draw for countless seasoned adventurers in the Tenth World.

No wonder, as soon as Zhang Yue arrived, a crowd of veteran adventurers swarmed him.

"Hey bro, want to buy wings? Not 998 or 648! Just 88,000, and a pair of orange wings is yours."

"New here, huh? Buddy, those white wings won't cut it. Want to buy higher-tier wings? Blue, purple, orange, red—I've got them all."

The veteran adventurers, each with at least orange wings, instantly pegged Zhang Yue as a newbie due to his white wings.

Every new adventurer received a free pair of white wings from the system upon entering the Tenth World.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[White Wings]

[Owner: Zero]

[Effect 1: Grants flight, flight speed +5% (flight ability only effective in the Tenth World).]

[Effect 2: Increases all stats by 5%. Upon clearing the Tenth World, consume 100,000 energy to fuse the white wings and permanently gain the 5% all-stat boost.]

[EXP: 0/100 (Gain EXP by absorbing energy crystals).]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

These white wings were indeed weak.

Faced with the crowd's shouts, Zhang Yue planned to spend some money to buy high-tier wings.

Although directly purchasing wings wouldn't count toward completing the quest to craft orange wings, the 30% all-stat boost from orange wings was too tempting to pass up.

For the wealthy, starting with orange wings was standard in the Tenth World.

Just as Zhang Yue was about to make a purchase—

Someone in the crowd suddenly recognized him.

A girl in a purple mage robe with orange wings exclaimed excitedly, "Whoa! It's Zero, the new top-ranked pro player in the national server."

Her words caused an uproar.

"It really is Zero? Damn! Never thought I'd see the legend in person."

"Zero! I'm your biggest fan. Er, no, wait—you're my biggest fan. "

"Legendary player! I just watched your solo takedown of the Empire Guild. That was insane—totally stole my heart."

"Zero, I'll give you a pair of high-tier wings for free. Let's be friends, okay?"

It seemed his recent feat against the Empire Guild had skyrocketed Zhang Yue's fame.

Still, wings were something these people had spent countless hours and effort upgrading. Zhang Yue didn't intend to take advantage of them and planned to pay market price for a pair of orange or red wings.

At that moment, a priestess with white wings squeezed through the crowd, holding three pairs of purple wings. She anxiously approached Zhang Yue.

"I… I'll sell you these three pairs of purple wings for 50,000. Is that okay?"

The girl had long black hair and a delicate face. Her ID read [Silent Plum].

Her eyes were filled with nervousness and desperation as she looked at Zhang Yue, clearly hoping he would buy her wings.

Purple wings, which boosted flight speed by 50% and all stats by 20%, weren't top-tier but were worth around 20,000 each. Selling three for 50,000 meant she was taking a loss of 10,000.

This desperate bargain revealed how urgently she needed money.

However, her offer was met with sneers.

"Isn't this the infamous scammer Silent Plum? Trying to scam people again?"

"Ha! You think the legend would want your trashy purple wings? Even for free, I wouldn't take them!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue stared at the girl for three seconds before calmly saying, "Fine, I'll pay the market price."

He asked her to open her payment QR code and transferred her 60,000 on the spot, then took the wings.

The crowd immediately objected.

"Dude, don't trust her! She's a well-known scammer here, always tricking people with her innocent looks!"

"Yeah, she's scammed plenty already!"

Silent Plum accepted the money, thanked Zhang Yue, and hurriedly left.

The onlookers shook their heads.

"Man, she just made another easy 60k!"

"Bro, instead of spending 60k on her purple wings, you could've bought orange ones from me for 50k—and I'd even give you a discount!"

Zhang Yue ignored the chatter and quietly watched as Silent Plum disappeared into the distance.

Elsewhere—

Silent Plum ran until she reached the edge of the city, then flapped her white wings and soared down to the parasite-infested lands below.

The ground beneath Sky Castle was bleak and gray.

Countless creatures with eight legs and a tail (resembling facehuggers) crawled across the terrain, hunting for prey.

When they latched onto rabbits, boars, or deer, they drained their victims' flesh and blood to evolve into massive alien-like monsters!

The entire continent had become the domain of these [Parasites] and [Parasite Beasts].

Silent Plum landed in a ruined city.

There, a team of high-level adventurers—around level 65, the Tenth World's cap—was hunting parasites.

Approaching them, Silent Plum said urgently, "I've gathered the money. Here it is. Will you keep your promise and help me now?"

A black-armored warrior named [Wolf Fang], the team leader, swung his sword to kill a parasite before turning to her.

"Hand over the money first," he said bluntly.

Silent Plum hesitated. "I'll pay you 30,000 upfront and 70,000 afterward."

Wolf Fang snorted. "That's not how it works. Pay in full first, or find someone else—though I doubt anyone else here can help you."

After a moment's hesitation, Silent Plum transferred the full 100,000. "There, it's done. Now help me!"

But Wolf Fang smirked. "Help you? Who do you think you are?"

He leered at her. "Be my girlfriend, and I'll help. How about it?"

Silent Plum flushed with anger. "You're all liars! Scammers!"

Wolf Fang chuckled. "Liar? Compared to you, I'm just an amateur!"

He reached out to touch her, but a cold wind swept through the air.

Wolf Fang froze and looked up to see a robed Beastmaster standing nearby, staring at him with icy eyes.
