No One Told Me That This Isn’t a Game - Chapter 4.2: The Successor

In any situation, a five-digit community can only have a maximum of seventh realm adventurers.

Even if a fifteenth realm ultimate powerhouse comes to 96511, their cultivation would be lowered to the seventh realm.

This is one of the rare acts of mercy and kindness by the Celestial God. It prevents high-level communitys from suppressing or invading low-level communitys and upholds one of the fundamental rules for the operation of the “Promotion World.”

Even General Tianwang is bound by these rules.

If he really wants to take action, in this small portion of land in 96511, even General Tianwang, who has battled Celestial God, might not find it advantageous!

As the man in the suit was about to organize the personnel, Qian Wuyi cautioned, “Don’t reveal too many details. You should know what to do. After all, I am the ‘spiritual successor of General Tianwang’ and the ‘number one supporter of General Tianwang.’ I need to carry this banner.”

The man in the suit nodded, “General Qian, you can rest assured. Everyone participating in this operation belongs to your faction.”

…

…

In the Land of “Becoming Zero”, the world consists of a hundred thousand communitys, each with its own distinct culture, dietary habits, and technological level. It’s as if they are individual nations, and there’s no significant issue with that.

The customs in 96511 lean towards the Chinese style.

As dusk approached, Xue Qiangwei wasn’t in a hurry to return home. Instead, she took Zuo Chang to Louwailou for a meal.

She was ordering dishes, while Zuo Chang sat alone in the private room, resting with his eyes closed.

Resting was fine, but as soon as he closed his eyes, Zuo Chang was startled by something—

A panel!

He saw the game’s interface:

Name: Zuo Chang.

Cultivation: First Realm (0%).

Talents: Natural Genius (Level 15), Veteran (Level 15), Master Artisan (Level 15).

Blessings: Soothing Touch (Level 15), Gentle Rain (Level 15), Nine Underworlds Banishment (Level 15), Decisive Battle Weapon (Level 15).

Skills: None.

Evolution Points: 1.

Supreme General System: Not yet activated (This system unlocks after becoming a supreme general of a community).

Zuo Chang found it strange. He had come over into this game as his ingame character, the “General Tianwang,” so how come he seemed to have inherited none of the strength and power that his in-game character has and just arrived as a new individual?

After closely examining the information, he found both good news and bad news about his circumstance.

Good news: The Celestial God didn’t completely wipe everything out; it granted him three talents and four blessings, all at maximum level 15.

These seven abilities are excellent on their own and complement each other well.

They’re treasures that Zuo Chang can rely on.

The most important one is “Natural Genius.”

This talent sets a lower limit and raises the upper limit. In the game, it reduces the required experience for leveling up and maximizes attribute gains. It’s an extraordinary talent in terms of numerical strength, very impressive.

The bad news: His cultivation has truly disappeared.

Although he had a premonition, seeing his full cultivation of the fifteenth realm revert back to the initial first realm was still extremely displeasing!

Of course, with the full-level talent “Veteran,” coupled with the four top-tier blessings, his combat strength is assured—

Let alone the first realm, even three or five ordinary second realms wouldn’t be able to stand a chance against him;

If it came down to a direct clash, he might even be able to handle a third realm combatant…

“Tsk.”

Still, he had to admit, handling a third realm might still be a bit difficult, his chances are 50/50 on that.

Third realm adventurers are already quite mature; Zuo Chang hasn’t acquired any skills yet, and his methods are extremely limited. He probably wouldn’t fare well.

Below the attributes panel, there’s an oddly conspicuous feature—

【Monthly Tasks】

Monthly tasks…

Who would have thought that even after personally coming here, he could still see the monthly system.

【Strengthening Reserves: After completing three instances, you can retrieve a talent you once possessed. Currently (0/3).】

【Killing with Ten Steps: After ending the lives of five adventurers, you can retrieve a skill you once possessed. Currently (0/5).】

【Niggling over Every Penny: After earning one million yuan, you can gain 10 evolution points. Currently (0/1000000).】

【Nourish Through War: After participating in a battle with over ten adventurers and surviving, you can claim ownership of a material warehouse. Currently (0/1).】

【A Hundred Thousand Banners: After activating your Supreme General System, you can recall one subordinate who is willing to serve you.】

【Monthly tasks will refresh in (30) days.】

Strange.

The others are fine, but what’s “Killing with Ten Steps” about?

Zuo Chang isn’t a demon; how could he randomly attack others? Does the system think he’s still playing a game?

As for the instance tasks…

Instances are supposed to be undertaken. In the game, completing instances grants “Divine Crystals,” commonly known as dog food.

Feeding enough of these crystals to a player’s subordinates can enhance their realms.

Zuo Chang is just in the first realm right now, and that’s exactly what he’s lacking.

And besides—

The prospect of “retrieving a talent” is truly enticing.

Zuo Chang’s talents are all full-level talents, each possessing its own unique qualities.

Even if they’re not immediately useful, they might come in unexpectedly handy at odd times.

Knock knock

A knocking sound echoed. Zuo Chang looked towards the door and saw Xue Qiangwei entering.

She approached quickly, placing a notebook on the table and sliding it towards Zuo Chang: “General, you are now an author, creating a biography of General Tianwang.”

Zuo Chang raised his hand, holding onto the notebook, unsure of what was happening.

However, he didn’t have the time to ask questions now and could only remain silent.

In the next instant—

Click!

The door was pushed open, and a man in his thirties or forties, dressed in military uniform, entered with a stern expression.

Xue Qiangwei had already taken her seat opposite Zuo Chang. She slightly frowned at the moment and asked, “City Lord Qian? Why are you here?”
