Dugu Lengcang looked around at the crowd, glanced at the countless caras aid at him, and made his award acceptance speech to the world, "Many people know that I am a Cold Storer, and for this award ceremony, I specifically paused my Cold Storage to awaken from the chilly storeroom. You might think Cold Storers have many benefits—they can stay logged in for long periods, continuously level grind, and always remain in that wonderful world. But do you know the loneliness of Cold Storage?"
As he spoke, he paused, reflecting, "You have two worlds, but we only have one. I care deeply about my friends, but every day, I can only watch helplessly as they log out, disappearing before my eyes. We must wait alone in this lonely world, waiting for our friends to log back in, waiting for my loved one to co online. I don’t even know if one day they might never log back in again. You stand there like an idiot at the place where your loved one logged out, quietly waiting, and when they log back in, you can throw yourself into their arms, feeling that virtual yet real warmth..."
Dugu Lengcang continued, his tone becoming sowhat sad. At this mont, he represented all the Cold Storers in the world, speaking out the heart of every individual.
"I have few friends—perhaps many don’t consider one, only rembering when they need money. Therefore, I treasure what I consider to be true friends even more. I know that at this mont, my speech may very likely determine the outco of the upcoming Best Newcor Award. The Best Newcor Award could only go to one of two people—either Instakill or Thunder God. If I step down now, it’s very likely that Thunder God will win. But now, I choose to stay because Instakill is my friend!"
In that instant, Jin Xu Qi Wai, who was in the audience, suddenly looked up, staring at Dugu Lengcang on stage with a face full of ecstatic joy!
And at this mont, organization mbers scattered around the world, including Mr. Zhuge, all watched their live screens and heaved a sigh of relief!
The live feed continued with Dugu Lengcang’s voice: "More than three months ago, I t Instakill at an auction in Thornbush City when I was bidding on a batch of runes. Later, we fought together in the Tower of Pantheons and even killed a Level 50 Half-Beastman nad Man Lie. We didn’t spend much ti together, but I considered him a kindred spirit. I know that he is also a lonely person; in many ways, we are similar. In just a few months, he has achieved so much. As a 24-hour online Cold Storer, I have more ti than anyone else, yet I have only reached this strength. I know very well how hard Instakill works. I regard him as a friend worthy of respect, and I hope he wins the Best Newcor Award; it is an honor he deserves. At this mont, many may not know that he is in The Second World, leading the players of Dragon City in a difficult breakout, lacking just a little more ti. I just happen to know this news, so I choose to support him in this way at this ti..."
Dugu Lengcang spoke at length on stage, and the live audience, the other award nominees, and billions of TV viewers ca to recognize a new side of Instakill through his words.
...
While Dugu Lengcang was speaking, Huang Yi finally glimpsed the end of the Skeleton Ocean, with the vast desert beyond!
To the six hundred thousand players at this mont, the barren land seed like a paradise filled with birdsong and flowers!
"We’ve finally broken out!" exclaid Huang Yi to the entire team.
At this point, the six hundred thousand team mbers had been fighting continuously for twelve to twenty hours, their bodies at the brink of exhaustion, but at this mont, everyone was energized, their steps quickening slightly.
Finally, Huang Yi led the charge in killing the last skeleton, breaking free from the encirclent!
At that mont, the air of freedom hit their faces, and no longer were there swarms of skeletons in sight—as if they were reborn!
The six hundred thousand players followed close behind, breaking out and crying tears of joy. They had been trapped in Dragon City for such a long ti, and at this mont, they finally gained their freedom. Now, both acquaintances and strangers hugged each other as if they were prisoners who had just been released after many years!
Huang Yi also hugged Xiao Chunzi excitedly. He had been struggling for over thirty hours, enduring hardship along the way, slaughtering Feng Zhi’s three hundred thousand players, forming new teams, besieging Sand Thief King, leading the breakout, encountering Guifu Heilang, eting the White Dragon King and his sister...
It felt as though the events of this period were as long as a century, and now he had finally reached the endpoint after overcoming nurous obstacles, bringing Qin Shiyu’s body out of danger!
Just at that mont, a vast and ancient voice resounded between heaven and earth—
"[System Announcent]: Chinese player [Instakill] led over six hundred thousand players of Dragon City to successfully break out, rescuing lives, awarded 1000 Public Prestige Points, obtained the [Unique Achievent]—[Rescuer of Lives], and the China National Honor Value 1."
The third National Honor Point!
This made Huang Yi break a new world record, becoming the first player to possess three National Honor Points simultaneously!
The six hundred thousand mbers of the team looked at each other, all excitedly turning their heads toward Huang Yi’s direction. Many standing at the back might not even see his shadow, but they knew that it was this man, whom they couldn’t even see, who had saved them.
anwhile, Feng Zhi’s team of three hundred thousand players was still trapped in Dragon City, their faces showing a dead gray pallor. Especially the one hundred thousand independent players who suddenly felt regret—if they had chosen to leave Feng Zhi’s team yesterday and follow Huang Yi to break out, they too would have gained freedom like the other six hundred thousand players. However, they had made a wrong decision at a crucial mont and sided with the wrong team.
Just then, a trendous voice echoed once again across the world—
"[System Announcent]: Chinese player [Instakill] has contributed 3 National Honor Points, creating history and eting the conditions for Na Bestowing. For the next ten seconds, all players around the world may bestow a title on [Instakill]. The system will tally the title with the most bestowed nas, which will then be assigned to [Instakill] as his Na Bestowing. The countdown begins now: 10, 9, 8..."
At this mont, the entire continent was desolate, and the announcent rang out, solitary, across every continent, every mountain range, every island!
Everyone who heard the announcent was utterly shocked!
This was the first na bestowing announcent issued by the system since The Second World opened two years ago!
This was the first announcent that required the participation of the entire world!
It was an unparalleled honor, an incredible feat not even Dao Feng and his peers had achieved!
The next ten seconds belonged exclusively to Huang Yi, where, for ten seconds, the whole world revolved around him!
At this ti, there were just over 1.8 million players in The Second World! They would be the witnesses and participants of history, and within these 10 seconds, any phrase they uttered would be recorded for na bestowing, personally inscribing this great historic mont!
"Damn, that’s freaking aweso!" a Chinese player blurted out a catchphrase subconsciously, and the system imdiately recorded it, taking it as his bestowed na for Huang Yi.
"Oh, My, God!" an English player exclaid, and the exclamation was imdiately recorded by the system.
"My goodness!" was the inadvertent sigh of many, but it was imdiately taken as a na bestowing and recorded by the system within the scope of the count.
"What’s going on?" A player who had just logged on asked bewilderedly after hearing the system announcent, and then, his words were instantly taken as a na bestowing by the system and recorded!
"Damn, that guy is so lucky!" A Level 1 newbie player had just been bitten to death by a stray dog, and upon hearing the system announcent in the pitch-black space, he cursed out of resentnt, and the system collected it as a na bestowing case.
"Huh? Sword Slayer? I thought it was Sword-wielding Thunder." A handso Chinese man around 20, fiddling with a broken sword hilt in his hand, shook his head and smiled, "Instakill, you’re not bad, my na is Sharp Sword, hope to spar with you one day."
"Damn it!" Inside Dragon City, Feng Zhi cursed furiously and imdiately started directing the team, "Everyone listen to the command, let’s all give Instakill the sa na bestowing—Bastard! Isn’t it about having more people? Here we have over 300,000 people giving him the sa na bestowing."
At that mont, out of the 600,000 players who had broken through the Skeleton Ocean’s encirclent, soone suddenly said, "Instakill is a god!"
Imdiately, everyone was slightly taken aback, then rembered the ti, long ago, when Dragon City was besieged by the Skeleton Army, and when the city was on the brink of destruction, Huang Yi had audaciously stolen the Heart of the Sand Thief King, saving Dragon City for the first ti.
Back then, all the players of Dragon City had also shouted, "Instakill is a god!"
At this mont, the crowd seed to be ignited by these words, roaring wildly together!
"Instakill is a god!"
"Instakill is a god!"
The voices of 600,000 people soared to the skies, deafening, with the chant "Instakill is a god" reverberating between heaven and earth.
"3, 2, 1, countdown over! System tallying, please wait..." At this ti, the system announcent ended the countdown and paused for a while.
At this point, Dugu Lengcang finally finished his speech at the award ceremony and stepped down from the stage!
At this point, all 1.8 million players of The Second World had put aside their tasks, stopped swinging their swords, stopped speaking, all waiting for the system’s final na bestowing!
At this point, Huang Yi was still carrying Qin Shiyu’s corpse on his back, holding Xiao Chunzi’s hand, standing at the center of the world!
"[System Announcent]: After tallying by the system, the title with the highest number of bestowed nas is ’Instakill is a god!’. Combining the results, Instakill’s final bestowed na is: [God of Slaughter]."
