Piercing Through The Soul Lord Of The Pit

Chapter 3: The True Beginner's Starter Pack

In the end, Wu Feng didn't delve into the existence of the Abyss Gate on the 700th floor. After all, nothing had gone wrong in the past century, and he couldn't do anything about it now.

What's most important is to make the most of tonight's opening of the new Abyss!

Half an hour later, Wu Feng returned to his residential building. Although Wu Feng's parents were lords, all their resources were invested in their own territory. They lived in a common three-bedroom apartment in the safe zone.

After entering the hallway, just as Wu Feng was about to insert the key into his door, the iron door across from his house suddenly swung open, and a man in his underwear rushed out.

When he saw Wu Feng, he reached out as if he had found a lifeline and said, "Xiaofeng, quickly save me, your older brother!"

Looking at the emaciated man in front of him, Wu Feng hadn't reacted yet when a figure in cool attire grabbed the older brother by his hair. It was Yu Qingxiu, the wife of the neighbor.

True to her name, Yu Qingxiu was a very beautiful woman, but at this moment, she directly grabbed the man's short hair and dragged him into the room.

"Why are you running away? Can you delegate this kind of thing? We haven't had enough children yet! I don't want to have reduced benefits."

"Xiaofeng, save me!" The man desperately clung to the iron door at the entrance, but his fingers were pulled off one by one. In the end, he was dragged into the "hell," and the iron door slammed shut.

The despair in the older brother's eyes at the end still haunted Wu Feng, who had seen similar things before.

In Wu Feng's eyes, the neighbor's wife was a murderer!

This was the fate of losing the status of a lord and becoming a commoner who relied on basic benefits to survive.

According to the requirements of the Federation's Second Birth Law, couples who are not lords must have seven children to "retire."

This was the result of the Dragon Kingdom implementing a one-husband-one-wife system. The workload in other countries with polygamy... was unimaginable.

If this "achievement" was not met, benefits would be deducted, and it was possible to have no housing or food.

And if they had more children, they could receive additional benefits and possibly move into a bigger house. After all, if they didn't want to raise the children, the government would help with social upbringing.

"It's all because those goblins are too fertile. The 'Fertility Law' is the best proof that if you can't beat them, join them. When people are squeezed dry, they will die. Doesn't the Federation know that?"

The reason why the Blue Star Federation introduced the insane "Fertility Law" is because the goblins, who are also part of the Ten Races, are too fertile. They give birth every four months and often have twins or multiples. The goblins even encourage reproduction. Several decades ago, they almost overwhelmed the Blue Star with their population advantage.

With the idea of "if you can't beat them, join them," the Blue Star Federation also decisively implemented a policy to encourage reproduction. After all, every adult Blue Star individual can enter the Abyss and become an Abyss Lord. With more people, there will always be geniuses.

What that great person said two hundred years ago about strength in numbers still holds true.

Upon seeing the fate of the guy next door, Wu Feng became even more determined to become a good lord.

When Wu Feng opened the door and returned home, he was surprised to find his parents waiting for him early.

"Wu Feng, come here! Your mom made your favorite braised pork! It's made from special wild boar meat! It's no worse than the pork from a hundred years ago!" Old handsome guy Wu Wenjin beckoned to Wu Feng.

Wu Feng's eyes lit up when he heard about the braised pork. He quickly went to the dining table. This was his mom's specialty. He had the cooks in his simulated game territory follow the recipe, but they still couldn't make it taste as good as his mom's.

Perhaps this was the taste of a mother.

Wu Feng's mom, who assisted his dad in managing the territory, usually didn't have time to cook for him. It was rare for him to have a meal like this once a month.

Watching Wu Feng wolf down his food at the dining table, Wu Wenjin patted his head. "You little rascal, you ate your dad's portion too! Do you want to have some wine today?"

Wu Wenjin had already taken out a bottle of Hundred Flowers Brew. "The Hundred Flowers Brew in the safe zone still can't compare to the one brewed in my territory. When you can come to my territory one day, you'll be able to drink the Hundred Flowers Brew brewed by the Flower Fairy."

Wu Feng rolled his eyes. "Old handsome guy, have you forgotten what day it is today? I have to greet the first day of the newbie period in the best condition!"

Chen Jing, holding a pot of chicken soup, placed it on the table and casually slapped Wu Wenjin's hand away. "You want to raise your son to be a drunkard like you?"

Wu Wenjin, who exuded the charm of a mature man and looked very suave, smiled helplessly. "I can only drink once a month, and I'm already considered a drunkard?"

Chen Jing sat down and rolled her eyes. "What? You don't agree? If I let you drink as much as you want, you would consume a lot of our territory's resources in a month!"

"If you really want to drink, then expand our territory and achieve drinking freedom sooner..."

Wu Wenjin had nothing to say. He didn't dare to argue with the big leader at home. Wu Feng also empathized with him. His mom's "Labor and Capital Shudao Mountain" was an insurmountable mountain!

The helpless handsome old man looked at Wu Feng and said, "Son, we haven't forgotten what day it is today. Here, these are 20 summoning scrolls. Consider them as our beginner's gift to you, and also as your birthday present."

Wu Feng's right hand, holding a piece of pork belly, suddenly paused. On the dining table was a stack of summoning scrolls with blue borders. These were summoning scrolls of Excellent quality. It took a lot of effort for his father to bring these items from the territory to the safe zone.

According to the rules of the safe zone, when physical items are transported from the territory to the safe zone, their quantity is reduced by a hundredfold. In other words, Wu Wenjin used 2000 summoning scrolls of Excellent quality to obtain this stack of items.

The green crystals given by Qian Shanmu and the tower defense summoning card given by Su Mu followed the same principle.

Perhaps the income from the territory over the past three or four years was only worth this stack of summoning scrolls in front of him. After all, the alliance where his parents were also had to collect a portion of the territory's output.

No wonder Dad...

Compared to the green crystals and the tower defense summoning card, the things his parents gave him could truly be considered a "beginner's gift package"...

"Son, although your dad and I are not big lords, we can still gather resources to prepare a beginner's gift package for you. With your fine achievements, I can't afford to lag behind," said Wu Wenjin, drinking the Hundred Flowers Brew that he could only drink once a month. He was in a very good mood.

Wu Feng looked at the summoning scrolls on the table with mixed feelings. He carefully put them away and then, for the first time, had a drink with his handsome old man.

"This wine is good. Next time, I'll buy two bottles to drink with you!" Wu Feng pretended to be mature and composed, making Wu Wenjin burst into laughter.

"Son, like father, like son. You can inherit at least 80% of your old man's drinking capacity! I'll help you develop the remaining 20% later."

Wu Feng was about to say something when suddenly his stomach churned. He could only rush into the bathroom to unload. This Hundred Flowers Brew tasted good going down, but damn, it had a strong aftereffect!

"You fool, our son still has to go to the territory today! What if he gets drunk later?" Chen Jing's voice scolding Wu Wenjin came from the dining room.

Wu Wenjin could only helplessly "defend" himself, saying, "Back then, I also started my beginner's period after drinking a jin of liquor. It turned out pretty well!"

Chen Jing looked at him resentfully, saying, "That's because liquor emboldens the cowardly. Otherwise, you would have been nervous and wouldn't know how to operate!"

Listening to his parents' nagging, Wu Feng felt a bit dizzy after unloading. He could only bury his head in his bed.

When the alarm clock rang, Wu Feng woke up in a panic. He looked at the time, 41:30, only half an hour left until the "server" opened!

Wu Feng hurriedly rushed into the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face. When he returned to his bedroom, he was surprisingly clear-headed and didn't feel nervous anymore.

Checking the time, he summoned the Lord's Crystal that was glowing. Wu Feng stared at the crystal intently, thinking, "Will I soar to great heights or become a breeding machine? It all depends on this!"

The Lord's Crystal is a necessary item for everyone to enter the Abyss and become an Abyss Lord. This crystal was personally bound to Wu Feng when he was born.

When the new layer of the Abyss opened at midnight, Wu Feng would be able to use the Lord's Crystal to enter the Abyss and establish his territory.

Before entering the Abyss, Wu Feng took out his "beginner's gift package" - the 20 blue summoning scrolls given by his parents, the 10 green resource crystals from Qian Shanmu, the green tower defense summoning card from Su Mu, and the green building summoning card "invested" by Li Zhi Shi. Li Zhi Shi had given him that three days ago.

Li Zhi Shi was a middle-level member of the Sheng Tang Alliance, one of the top 500 alliances in the Blue Star. He was also a powerful Lord responsible for recruiting and testing new recruits in the alliance.

Wu Feng had spent two years and had already made it onto his shortlist.

Of course, this kind of two-way selection would have to wait until Wu Feng became a Lord in the Abyss before his specific performance could determine the outcome.

After all, on the seventh day of the Golden Beginner's Period, there would be a beginner's test. It would be considered good if 30% of the Lords who participated in the test could survive. Only those Lords who passed that test could be considered official Lords.

The resources given by Li Zhi Shi now were just his personal investment, not something that needed to be repaid. Wu Feng felt justified in taking them. The more prepared he was now, the more stable his start would be.

Compared to many people who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, what he had was nothing. The rewards he had gained from his efforts over the past few years might not even be as much as the "pocket money" given by other people's parents.

But Wu Feng was not discouraged. He had already put in his greatest effort. Now, it all depended on how fate would decide.

As midnight arrived, countless rays of light illuminated the 700th layer of the Abyss. It was the moment when countless new generation Abyss Lords descended!

Numerous rays of light pierced through the thick clouds and projected onto the vast and boundless land.

The 799th layer of the Abyss was open!
