Chapter 40: Ambush!

[A certain god with one eye is looking at you with a smile]

Looking at the sudden notification, although Lin Ye had expected to get a few god’s attention at the beginning, but seeing it now he couldn’t help but feel a bit angry

Unlike what most people would expect, different from the almighty nature of gods, here in the tower they were severely restricted even more than they were on the blue star

Due to that, not only could they not descend directly into the tower, but they couldn’t even communicate at will with any of the trialists

It was after they had signed a contract with a certain trialist that they would be able to exert some sort of influx

Unfortunately, even that wasn’t easy as they couldn’t even say their own names as their names were given by the tower allowing them to communicate only via the broadcast screen

In most cases, it was up to the trialist to guess behind the god with each name and consider whether signing a contract would be worth it for them

“However, no matter the god be it good or evil, signing a contract with them is akin to throwing away your lives”

“Looking back at it now, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call that thing a slave trade contract”

“Sigh… thankfully at least this time it’s going to be different”

Giving an exasperated sigh, Lin Ye quickly began to head deep into the forest trying not to think much about the god who suddenly showed interest in him

[A certain god with one eye]

Although there are a lot of gods known for having only one eye, But Lin Ye knew that only two of them held that name

One was the God Odin, and the other was Loki when he was pretending to be Odin

But who it actually was, Lin Ye didn’t care as both of them were written on within the top ten on his revenge list

After all, he had to give the god whom he signed a contract with in his past life a good thank-you

“Damn now that I think of it, having signed that damn contract was one of the reasons I was caught in the first place”

Walking deeper into the forest, Lin Ye couldn’t help but get angrier with each step he took, fortunately, his millennium-past life managed to teach him how to reign in his emotion when needed

Calming himself down, Lin Ye once again waved to the floating eyeball and began his journey as a live broadcast superstar

“Hello, once again viewers, as you can see I have officially gone into the forest ready to clear the first quest!”

“And to both my amazement and surprise, the environment truly once again reminds us that we’re not on the blue star anymore, or that a new age has arrived!”

“Just look at these trees in front, any of them would be able to break the record for the tallest plants on the Blue Star”

“Not to mention that even their bark looked to be as hard as steel!”

Explaining his surroundings, like an expert going on a forest expedition, Lin Ye began to talk to his viewers while also cracking jokes from time to time waiting for their engagement

In fact, just now Lin Ye took a quick look and his viewers had already reached a staggering ten thousand

Although not much, but you must remember that this was just the first trial, not to mention a few minutes into it

Ten thousand viewers and a gods interest, just looking at it now Lin Ye could be said to have truly stood out of the crowd with this

But even then, Lin Ye didn’t really care much about his fame or fortune

For him, as long as it helped him use his abilities and achieve his goal, then Lin Ye didn’t mind being famous

And now, after a quick check, Lin Ye can be sure that his plan this time was a huge success

[S-level devouring and absorption (5%)]

Looking at its progress at 5%, Lin Ye wasn’t all too surprised after all it was an S-level ability and an outrageous one at that

“However, just having ten percent of the ability should allow me to use its power at least C-level”

“Next, all I just need to do is use it more for the audience and make them believe it!”

“This will in turn allow me to increase the percentage, then use it on more diverse and powerful occasions which will in turn bring more audience!”

“If anything, this can be called an infinite ability glitch!”

Thinking of this, Lin Ye ’s eyes underneath the mask couldn’t help but widen as he seemed to have discovered something amazing

If his plan was to be successful, then by the time he clears the tower he should be much stronger than he was during his first life

In fact, Lin Ye was couldn’t even imagine how strange he would be in this life if everything went according to plan

Sadly, things rarely go according to plan, and if they do variables are bound to occur much like now

*Swoosh!*

Just as Lin Ye was lost in thought, accompanied by a gust of wind, an arrow flew past him barely scraping the side of his abdomen

“Damn it! I’ve been surrounded!”

Looking around, Lin Ye felt at least twenty presences approaching him each one covered with a faint sense of hostility

Obviously, these visitors weren’t coming to have a friendly chat with him

And the audience back on the blue star seemed to have noticed this too as all of a sudden a barrage of warnings suddenly fluttered off on the screen

( Bis sis onii: You guys look at this! Anchor is about to die!

[I am him: what upstairs said is true! Look anchor has been surrounded!

[King Kong: Damn Anchor look back! Behind you!] )

Sending all kinds of earring messages, most of the viewers seemed genuinely worried about his state

Unfortunately even all this, it was still a little too late

*Boom!*
