My Ability Is Role-playing-Chapter 313 - 309: Netherworld DLC, Spiritual Armor Upgrade!

Chapter 313: Chapter 309: Netherworld DLC, Spiritual Armor Upgrade!

On the day Ma Ran and the others arrived in Heilongjiang, most of the members from Songjiang Academy also came over.

The next day, the exchange students sent by Shanghai Mingzhu Academy to Heilongjiang also reached their destination.

What was initially just an ordinary leisure resort village has now become a temporary gathering place for the Extraordinary Ones.

Opening the door, within the visible range, you could at least see one Extraordinary One.

At this moment, when Ma Ran declared "I have an announcement," all the academy members in the village gathered around.

Some came to admire the aura of the predecessors, while others had a straightforward reason—following the Prophet guarantees benefits!

This has also become a common understanding in the Extraordinary Realm.

Ma Ran has never been one to keep benefits to himself. Whenever he gains something, he selflessly shares it with everyone, even expending energy to mentor and help lagging cultivators improve and make progress.

Otherwise, this small town wouldn’t suddenly have so many academy members coming over.

Su Qiangwei started organizing a betting pool on the side, and immediately, a large number of academy members flocked to participate.

"Indeed, he’s as grand as the Martial God! Betting ten Inner Qi Capsules in one go! I can’t even produce that amount..."

"Hey, you’re dreaming! Everyone knows gambling is bad, yet you’re still thinking about getting Inner Qi Capsules for free?"

"Compared to an Inner Qi Capsule, Qilin Meat Type Two is more helpful for training my superpower!"

"Imitating a pig’s call... I won’t bet, what if I lose? I’d lose all face!"

"Sister Wei is ruthless! Playing so big?"

"Imitating a pig’s call it is! Brother Ran just reached Fifteenth Rank of Inner Qi not long ago. While I firmly believe he can break through to Sixteenth Rank, it surely can’t be this fast! I guess some disaster is coming! He needs to gather us for a big operation!"

"I agree! Just like last time, when Demon, Brother Ran, Sister Qiangwei, Wu Di, and Li Xing fought back against the Eternal Civilization, completing the interstellar expedition together!"

"’If the bandits can go, I can too!’ That promise from ’Burning Nightmare’ has already been fulfilled! Every time I think of it, it feels so inspiring! A real man must follow through on his promises!"

"Say no more, Brother Ran is a true man!"

"Hearing you all talk makes me tempted... I also want to be part of the protagonist team in a 3A game! It’s the simplest and most convenient way to leave a mark in modern ’history’!"

"Isn’t that obvious? The history of the 21st century is written by our generation! You can’t avoid the ACG industry in games, anime, and novels!"

"Who can be the protagonist team member in the next installment of the ’Civilization Guardian’ game series, I don’t know. But this morning around three, the DLC for ’Civilization Guardian: Eternal Expedition’ was updated! It tells the story of how Brother Ran, after solo negotiations with the real mastermind of the Eternal Civilization, obtained the genetic optimization potion and mecha technology data."

"Huh? That’s not right! Last time I went to Hunan, when I visited Xiangtan Academy, Senior Ye Chudong said that his superpower could only convert audio files into games, so there shouldn’t be any video recordings of the later parts, right?"

"Based on the Prophet’s oral descriptions and synthesized text, video material necessary for the DLC was created—have you all overlooked Earth’s existing technology due to the convenience of superpowers?"

"Enough with the nonsense! You brat! You’ve only played the overture and dare to boast! The DLC is called ’Netherworld’! It mentions the Prophet and Martial God traveling far to Gansu, saving the unawakened Judge from the mysterious extraterrestrial Devil, the true main plot of the DLC!"

"Cut... From three in the morning till now, I’ve already cleared the ’Netherworld’ DLC! I have to say, Judge Wang Shuyin is truly pitiful. His parents both tragically died at the Devil’s hands, and he even sacrificed his own body to forge the Netherworld..."

"The Martial God, Prophet, and Judge... The reason they are the National Guardians is not without cause. This kind of self-sacrificing determination and will really makes me feel ashamed!"

The follow-up DLC of ’Civilization Guardian: Eternal Expedition’, ’Netherworld’, tells a story that originates from life but has undergone some artistic embellishment. The added plot involves Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei saving Judge Wang Shuyin, awakening his superpower, and the subsequent self-sacrifice of the Judge, transforming into the Netherworld to shelter the loyal and righteous people of a nation.

The plot is simple, the battle scenes are spectacular and cool, and the most crucial point is the extraterrestrial being codenamed "Devil" in this story.

It was a made-up character.

Ma Ran glanced around as the audience began to digress, smiling faintly.

These members from Songjiang Academy and Mingzhu Academy each left a deep impression on Ma Ran.

Deng Pengfu, Lu Feiyang, Mei An, Tan Yuan, Shi Xuemin, Mo Ye, Jiang Yuanhua, Ye Hong...

Wei Chun, Wu Mengtao, Long Jiahui, He Manman, Lin Xueyan, Fu Ninglu...

The ninety-five academy members before him, in his past life, all perished nine days later in the "Sea Demon Calamity."

As individuals listed in the sacrificial guardians record, Ma Ran vividly remembers their names, appearances, and life stories.

This life...

Ma Ran will certainly change their tragic end!

This is the reason for his return through rebirth; something he must accomplish!

The Netherworld of Judge Wang Shuyin is a dual-layered protection. Whether or not the Netherworld exists, Ma Ran will give his all to do the best!

This determination will not waver for anyone or anything!

To achieve this ultimate goal of the "Great Guardian", Ma Ran is willing to do any dirty or tiresome work.

"Brother Ran! I’m ready on my side!"

Li Xing stood before the perpetual motion camera, giving an OK gesture: "The number in the livestream room has already surpassed one million! I suppose even if we do nothing, the total number could reach the tens of millions!"

With no prior promotion and just opening a livestream label with official verification, over a million netizens quickly flocked in, and this number continued to surge, showing signs of breaking into tens of millions.

This is not a fictitious "popularity index", but a solid "number of viewers".

"Got it."

Ma Ran slightly nodded, his tone calm as he said, "Let’s start."

The previous "Inner Qi Opportunity Ten People List" was evidently not just for a mere Fifteenth Rank of Inner Qi.

It was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, overkill.

However, the distribution of opportunities still played its part.

With that groundwork, any subsequent performance by Ma Ran could swiftly attract a vast audience.

An audience in the tens of millions is absolutely enough for Ma Ran to, through "play", directly leap from the Fifteenth Rank to the Sixteenth Rank of Inner Qi.

With that said, Ma Ran didn’t beat around the bush, getting straight to the point.

"The characteristics of the Sixteenth Rank of Inner Qi are twofold."

"Firstly, the texture of Inner Qi upgrades, becoming solid state, breaking through the human body’s limit of Inner Qi capacity, possessing an initial total of Inner Qi equivalent to 4096 acupoints."

"Secondly, Spiritual Armor upgrades, gaining flying ability."
