Chapter 142 What exactly is the Steel Bone Realm?
I plopped down on the campus in the spring scenery and let out a long sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?"
Dog Brother looked at him with some confusion.
It's worth noting that the news of springtime on campus has triggered an extremely rare server-wide announcement.
Even without a server-wide announcement, just the fact that he broke through to a new level that players had never experienced before should have made Dog Brother jump up and show off long ago, based on his understanding of him.
"Stop talking, let me catch my breath."
The campus spring scenery replied listlessly, then, finding sitting uncomfortable enough, leaned back and lay down on the ground.
He was still shaken by what he had just experienced, as if he had watched his body gradually fall apart under the influence of uncontrollable, violent power.
He was also experiencing unbearable pain, and he almost wanted to log off on the spot.
"Don't blame me for not warning you, once you reach level 108, stop and don't rush to level up."
He waved to Dog Brother and the others: "Believe me, you definitely don't want to experience what I just went through."
It's so unbearable that even the springtime scenery on campus has made me lose all interest in messing with my brothers.
"Alright, alright, I got it. Now tell me, what does the Steel Bone Realm feel like?"
"Feel----"
After a while, the campus regained much of its vibrant springtime atmosphere.
He clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking with a crisp sound, like steel clashing: "It doesn't feel as good as Genshin Impact."
Hearing this, Roupeng chuckled: "Looks like this guy's alright."
"Okay, let's get serious. I haven't tested it specifically, so I don't know exactly how much the attributes have improved, but it feels like I've leveled up more than ten times in one go."
As he spoke of the spring scenery on campus, he pointed to his chest.
Although there was nothing outwardly unusual about it, he could clearly sense that the "steel bone" was pumping blood and energy throughout his body like a heart.
As if to prove something, the spring scenery on campus gave me a slight tremor in my chest.
A visible, chaotic wave of energy emanated from him and spread outwards.
The surrounding bushes seemed to have been struck by an invisible hammer, instantly collapsing to the ground. Even Dog Brother and the others felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on their chests, causing them to catch their breath.
Holy crap!
Roupeng's expression changed, and he subconsciously took two steps back, staring in horror at the scene of springtime on campus: "What the hell did you add to this?!"
Dog Brother's palms were sweaty as he gripped the weapon.
This is an improvement that cannot be reflected by a simple level number on the personal panel.
"This is Steel Bones—" Dog Bro muttered to himself, his eyes filled with envy: "Even the aura he exudes can suppress low-level players?"
To be honest, it's not so much a complete suppression; it's more of an instinctive fear of weaker beings that arises after a leap in life level.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current strength of the campus spring scenery has basically reached the minimum standard for establishing a tribe; all that is lacking is population.
And the time it took him to grow to this point was less than a month at most.
If the Ministry of War of Shanyun finds out, at the very least they will cultivate him as a potential general.
"Hey guys, let's go back to the starting village. Everyone's probably eager to know just how much stronger I've gotten, so don't keep them waiting."
His words about the beauty of springtime on campus sounded grand and dignified, but his wide grin that stretched almost to the back of his head clearly revealed his true intentions.
Of course, he was right about one thing.
After the server-wide announcement was released, other players were indeed very curious about what was going on.
This can be seen from the fact that the world channel is flooded with posts about it.
World Channel - 1.
[Pickled Pepper Beef: What is Steel Bone Realm? Is it a new profession?]
[What's the principle behind this? It doesn't sound like it, does it? Just looking at the literal meaning, could it be that bones harden?]
[Sweetheart Strike Cow: I've been watching the leaderboard the whole time, it seems the level cap for stage one is 108.]
[But even her departure was like a cloud: Can Spring Breeze fly now?]
[But even her departure was like a cloud: Springtime Bro?!]
[But even her departure was like a cloud: "Brother Spring Color, please say something! I'm so afraid you're not human anymore."]
An open space in the Xishi tribe.
Since Campus Spring Scenery hadn't spoken on the world channel, Brother Niu confidently made his guess in front of all the players present.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Steel Bone Realm should be one of the directions for us players to change jobs."
"The reason is simple."
Brother Niu looked around and continued, "In this kind of role-playing game, there will definitely be job branches in the future to provide players with different gaming experiences."
Although players could do their own thing before, some fighting and some killing each other, there was no essential difference; they were all considered to be basic classes.
It now appears that this is all because the game has such a long beginner period; you can only change jobs after reaching level 108.
Tenka Fubu looked puzzled but didn't say anything to interrupt.
In his view, his brother-in-law was experienced in games, and even if his statements were absurd, they were worth considering.
"What I'm worried about now is whether the production team can do a good job of balancing and differentiating between the various professions."
Seeing that no one was contradicting him, Brother Niu became more and more confident: "After all, when a game has similar classes or a huge gap in class strength, there will inevitably be a unique optimal solution."
"Well, is it possible—I'm just guessing, it might not be right."
Cong Cheng, who had been focused on refining Blood Qi Pills, finally couldn't help but speak up: "Other games create different professions to increase playability, but the original game already has enough playability, is there any need to do this?"

"If we had known it would turn out like this, we should have gone there when we saw the news about the monsters."
Ke Yun watched the world channel, jumping up and down anxiously.
He turned to look at Peng Zhi, who was sitting quietly weaving a basket, and asked anxiously, "Can you accept this? You were originally about the same level as the campus beauties."
Peng Zhi glanced at him and asked with amusement, "You call me 'Spring Color Bro' online, but 'Campus Spring Color' offline, huh? By the way, why do you react more strongly than me?"
"You're now our organization's ace."
"Ace sounds too arrogant."
"That—the top courtesan?"
"Do you want to fight?"

Seeing that things were getting more and more outrageous, Old Kuai couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly changed the subject.
"It's a good thing, at least now we know what the later upgrades are like. Let's just say that Chunse is paving the way for everyone."
"That's how it is. Anyway, I feel like I level up pretty quickly. If I'm lucky, I'll run into a group of monsters and they'll catch up with me."
Peng Zhi picked up the basket he was halfway through weaving and said, "Come and help me out if you have nothing else to do."
