79 The smell of bread

It took 49 hours for Chen Xing to die.

Chen Xing, who had been waiting with his eyes open, immediately connected to bnw.

[Notice: Welcome to Newburgh Continent]

The regular notification window keeps popping up for hours.

A flash!

Chen Xing, who was killed by a cannonball, came to Newburgh mainland again.

[Erangel: District 9]

A notification window appeared, showing Chen Xing's current location.

"Huh? Why am I still here? Shouldn't I leave the island voluntarily?"

Looking at Erangel appearing in front of him, Chen Xing muttered and looked around.

"This is?"

Looking around, Chen Xingzou frowned.

The village that originally looked like a village was transformed beyond recognition due to bombing.

The surrounding scenery is too miserable.

All around turned into ruins.

Not a single building is intact, they are all in ruins.

In addition, the road was full of potholes, filled with traces of shells, and the bodies of many smashed puppets.

There are also many items dropped by adventurers scattered all over the place.

"Did that bombing destroy all the villages?"

Somewhat confused, Chen Xing opened the official community and wanted to know what happened.

"Erase? District 9 was obliterated?"

According to the community, District 9 was completely destroyed in the bombing 11 hours ago, and not just a simple bombing.

"Erase? Then why am I still here?"

Chen Xing can't understand how things are going now.

District 9 has been obliterated, and he was clearly dead in the last round of bombing. Under normal circumstances, he should have had Erangel removed and the extraordinary runes sealed.

However, this is obviously not the case.

When he opened his information and looked at it carefully, Chen Xing was shocked.

【Chen Xing】

Category:Adventurer

Level:50

Occupation:Debuff Master

Title: Goblin Slayer/Berman Manor Territory Guardian

Somehow, something strange seems to be happening.

Why is the level still 50?

Why hasn't it been reset to level 1?

This game is obviously no joke.

Because, in the community, many players have had their characters reset and extraordinary runes sealed due to their deaths in the survival competition.

But it is also true that my level has not been reset.

this......

Chen Xing was even more confused and even checked his inventory.

Dried meat*43

Elementary Endurance Potion*11

Primary mana potion*9

Completed treasure map*1

Meserves 100% 12 Strengthening Volume (no level limit)*1

Intermediate disassembly kit*1

this......

The inventory is intact and nothing has fallen off.

What about the equipment?

Chen Xing continued to check the status of his equipment.

【armor】

Tops: Titanium mail tops

Bottoms: titanium chainmail bottoms

Shoulders: Titanium mail shoulder pads

Wrist: Titanium mail wrist

Belt: Barak Window

Shoes: Titanium boots

The armor is in good condition, and the most valuable piece of equipment, Barak's Window, is still intact on his body.

【arms】

Weapon 1: Mace (blunt weapon)

Weapon 2: Cold Spear (Lance)

Um?

The mace and cold gun purchased by Chen Xing in Dongdejili are still intact in his weapon column.

Why?

Why are my levels, inventory, and equipment intact?

What about extraordinary runes?

Thinking of this, Chen Xing's heart moved.

Extraordinary runes are very important.

【Extraordinary runes】

An ancient rune that contains the power of infinite growth. The owner of this rune can strengthen himself after gaining a certain amount of experience points.

Category: Passive (cannot be deleted)

Status: On

His extraordinary runes have not been sealed either.

Surprised, Chen Xing took off his gloves and took a good look at the extraordinary runes on the back of his hands.

The extraordinary runes, upgrade system, and source of growth exude a soft light. It is obvious that it has not been sealed.

"Me? I haven't messed up yet."

Chen Xing was so excited that his tongue was tied.

But, why is this? Everyone else's extraordinary runes have been sealed, and the characters have all been reset to level 1. Why is it only you?

In order to understand the situation, Chen Xing went to bnw's official community again, trying to find some clues.

After checking for a while, Chen Xing really found something unusual.

All these adventurers who have extraordinary runes sealed have one thing in common.

Self-destruction halo!

【Self-destruction Halo】

If you die while under the influence of the secondary aura, your character level will be reset and the transcendent rune will be sealed.

This seal is valid for 10 years.

To escape the aura of self-destruction, you must take one of the World's Strongest Survival Competition prizes, "The Elixir of Proof."

Seeing this, Chen Xing sounded the announcement from two hours ago.

[The self-destruction halo activated five kilometers ahead]

[Self-destruction halo starts working]

[From now on, the self-destructing halo will intercept any creature that wants to cross alone]

He remembered the airships and ships that passed through the Halo.

In other words, because when I came here, the self-destruction halo had not yet been activated, so...

Because there is no self-destruction aura effect, the character will not be reset and the extraordinary runes will not be sealed.

From the beginning, this island was not Chen Xing's target. He just happened to come here because the airship crashed, and because it was too early, the self-destruction aura was not activated, so there was no effect of the self-destruction aura on his body.

Ah, hahahaha.

After realizing that he was safe, Chen Xing finally calmed down.

Exciting.

Sitting in the virtual machine, Chen Xing's heart was still beating wildly.

Not bad, not bad.

I haven't messed up yet.

Almost feeling dizzy.

I thought my life was ruined like this.

But very lucky.

However, I have to leave this island immediately.

Chen Xing stood up unsteadily and prepared to move on, looking for an exit from the island.

but......
