“Huh, is this the line for when the Boss is about to die? But the Boss still has tens of thousands of HP.” Dragon Epitome felt puzzled.
Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong. Before, the Demonic Blaze Overlord’s crimson body had dimmed after battling for such a long time, so it looked greyish. However, its body had suddenly started shining again, and it was getting brighter and brighter, emitting an eye-piercing, white light. It was just like a sun was expanding within him and producing nuclear fusion. Upon seeing this, even an idiot would know that something was not right.
“Not good! The Boss is about to self-destruct!”
“Hurry and escape! Run!”
Dragon Epitome knew that the situation was not good, and what Xiao Yu had said instantly appeared in his head. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” So this was what he meant. Dragon Epitome immediately turned around and wanted to run away! However, it was already too late. Within the bright, shining sunlight, it was as if he could see that the eyes the Demonic Blaze Overlord was looking at him with were filled with malicious intent.
Boom! With the huge explosion sound, Dragon Epitome was completely swallowed by the explosion. When he saw that his HP had instantly dropped dangerously low, despair filled him.
“Phoenix, use Intervention on me!” he shouted as he charged to the female Paladin beside him.
Phoenix raised the longsword in her hand, but before she could activate Holy Intervention, the violent explosion had already knocked her back.
When the explosion ended, Dragon Epitome’s screen had already turned black and white. When he saw his corpse on the screen, Dragon Epitome was on the brink of tears. F*ck, it was a huge loss.
“F*ck, it was totally not worth it!” said Xiao Yu, full of tears as he stood at the game’s login interface and looked at the screen in front of him.
There was a line of large, blood-red words. “You have died, do you choose to revive?”
Although Xiao Yu was not expecting anything, he still clicked the confirm button.
System prompt message: As your character has died in a plot battle, revival is impossible. Do you choose to buy Plot Resurrection Service?
Huh, there was such an option? What the heck was it? Xiao Yu had not heard of such a thing before.
It was the first time Xiao Yu had been killed by the plot, so he was quite puzzled. He wanted to see what it was first, so he clicked Plot Resurrection Service.
The scene in front of him flashed and he was teleported into a huge, white shrine.
Was this… heaven? Xiao Yu looked at the surroundings and could see all kinds of strange and bizarre monsters and heroes.
An angel wearing revealing clothes stood in front of him.
“Hello, respectable Mr. Xiao, please follow me.”
“It’s quite formal,” Xiao Yu thought as he followed that angel into an empty office. There was another angel inside, but she looked like she was of a higher grade. Also, although her appearance was beautified, her looks were just average, so she was likely the real office staff.
“Hello, Mr. Xiao. I will be attending to you. So, I heard that you would like to buy the Plot Resurrection Service?”
Xiao Yu nodded. Just what was this Plot Resurrection Service?
The angle smiled. “The Plot Resurrection Service is a new service our company has recently released. It is mainly for characters that have died in plot battles. As long as you pay enough Scroll Points, you can activate the Plot Resurrection Service. Our company will release a plot mission for Adventurer players in the game to revive your character and guide the Adventurer players to complete it. After the Adventurer players complete the mission, the character will be revived in the game.”
Xiao Yu frowned. “Boss Mode characters can be revived too? Wouldn’t it not make sense from the plot since my character has already been killed in the plot?”
Of course he would want to be revived, but he also knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world, so he instinctively wanted to find faults.
“Of course it can make sense. Mr. Xiao, have you played Diablo?”
Xiao Yu recalled. He could vaguely remember that it was an extremely old game from the previous century, and it seemed like it was the type to be played using computers. He had only played the remake version.
“In Diablo I, the final Boss is Diablo, which is the so-called ‘Lord of Terror’. In the end of the game, Diablo is killed by the hero played by players, but in the sequel, Diablo is revived once again. Naturally, Diablo is killed by players again, but in the third game, Diablo possessed a girl named Leah and resurrected again, becoming the female version of the Lord of Terror. Of course, the outcome is the same as he is killed by players once again. However, that is not the end of the story.”
However, Diabolo still did not truly die. In Diablo V, it revived yet again and even came together with Archangel Tyrael, thus creating a huge number of ultimate Nephalem.
Wait… in Xiao Yu’s memory, he remembered that Diablo was extremely ugly, and Diablo had gotten together with an angel? How was it possible that there was no reproductive isolation problem? In Xiao Yu’s mind, he could not imagine the scene of the Lord of Terror coming together with the Archangel at all.
“Who knows? The story of the game in the beginning stated that the Nephalem were the offspring of angels and devils. Therefore, they must have some special technology to realize it.” The staff member also looked puzzled, but she then immediately shook her head.
“However, that is not the main point. What’s important is that each sequel’s Diablo was killed but was revived in the next game. Therefore, a Boss resurrecting in the game, as long as it makes sense in the plot, would not be an issue.”
What the angel said next took a 180-degree turn.
“Of course, there’s a risk in doing so, since we can’t guarantee that the Adventurers who have accepted the mission will complete it. Thus, the Plot Resurrection Service might fail.”
Xiao Yu was extremely excited. Did that mean that he could be revived? However, why was it that he had never heard of anyone making use of this service?
“If I want to revive my Demonic Blaze Overlord character, how much is needed?”
The angel staff member opened her computer and checked.
“As your character was a Three Skeleton Level Boss, an Epic-grade mission would be needed to be released to revive your character. At least 200 Adventurer players would be required to join the mission and a large number of pre-plot missions and relevant NPC characters would have to be created and adjusted. Therefore, 1,183,417 Scroll Points will be needed to resurrect this character. There are 225 Scroll Points in your account now. Your account balance is insufficient, please top up.”
“Top up your a*s.” Xiao Yu was speechless as he looked at the words in front of him. 1,118,417 Scroll Points. One Scroll Point was one dollar. With the price of over 1,000,000, he was not able to pay such an amount no matter what.
Before, someone wanted to spend $1,000,000 to buy his account, and he had nearly sold it. If it weren’t for the tax rates being too high and Xiao Yu thinking that it was not worth it, he would have taken the $1,000,000 and enjoyed himself. In other words, his account was only worth as much as $1,000,000 in his eyes. Therefore, of course he would not spend about $1,200,000 to revive this character, not to mention the success rate was not 100% and the fact that he did not have that much money. Even if he had it, he would not waste it like that,
Reviving a character of this grade was no different from buying a new one. It seemed like only wealthy players would use such a service.
Xiao Yu thought for a moment and shook his head. He looked at the beautiful angel staff member, then turned and left reluctantly.
After returning to the game’s login interface, Xiao Yu only wanted to cry his eyes out.
After sending Xiao Yu out of the room, the beautiful angel sighed and shook her head. She received a commission for each successful purchase of the Plot Resurrection Service, so upon seeing that Xiao Yu had left, she was quite disappointed. However, immediately after, she put on her professional smile as a man with a dark face had stepped into the room.
“I want to revive my character, the faster the better. Tell me, how much is needed?” asked Dragon Epitome in a low voice.
