Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 77

The next day.

Han Xing opened his eyes just as dawn broke.

Normally at this time, Han Xing would stand up and head to the balcony to take in the view outside.

But today was different.

In his embrace was a beautiful woman with a flushed face, alluring and charming.

At this moment, Zhang Lianmeng was still asleep with her eyes closed.

Han Xing didn’t wake her.

He knew Zhang Lianmeng was exhausted from the night before.

He prepared to gently slide his arm from under her neck.

Just then, Han Xing’s movement seemed to awaken Zhang Lianmeng.

She opened her sleepy eyes slightly and said softly, “Big Brother Xing, you’re awake?”

Having just experienced sexual intercourse for the first time, Zhang Lianmeng now exuded an even more captivating charm.

“Mm.” Han Xing responded.

Then, a long silence followed.

At this moment, both of them seemed to feel awkward.

After a while, Zhang Lianmeng broke the silence:

Suddenly, she seemed to recall something, her voice tinged with fear as she said: “Big… Big Brother Xing…”

“Last night, it was my decision. If… if you didn’t like it, we can just pretend nothing happened.”

After saying this, she forced a reluctant smile at Han Xing.

However, to Han Xing, that smile was truly heartbreaking.

After a moment, Han Xing shook his head and said: “What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I’m the kind of guy who would just take advantage and not take responsibility?”

Zhang Lianmeng shook her head desperately, “N-no, that’s not what I meant.”

Han Xing gently pulled her into his arms and said slowly, “When you saved me by risking your life last time, I already thought you were a remarkable woman.”

“After arriving in this world, human societal structures have collapsed. For survival, people inevitably become selfish.”

After a brief pause, Han Xing said earnestly: “Zhang Lianmeng, if no one else looks after you in this world, let me take care of you.”

Hearing Han Xing’s words that were almost like a confession, Zhang Lianmeng was momentarily stunned, and her eyes gradually became watery.

Han Xing thought he had frightened her. As someone who had never interacted closely with a woman, he suddenly couldn’t think of any words to comfort her.

However, at that moment, Zhang Lianmeng unexpectedly raised her head and leaned in to kiss him.

In that instant, Han Xing seemed to stop thinking, only feeling a warm and fragrant sensation.

Zhang Lianmeng continuously let out soft pants.

A few minutes later, she became even more proactive, pressing herself onto him.

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Han Xing’s lust seemed to ignite once again.

A few minutes later, the room echoed once more with the gentle sounds of a woman’s moan.

“Big Brother Xing, I’m about to run out of breath…”

“Big Brother Xing…”

The sounds gradually faded, transforming into soft whispers amidst the intimacy.

…

After the sun had fully risen.

Zhang Lianmeng was already standing up from the bed.

Han Xing lay on the bed, looking at the breathtaking silhouette of the beauty, feeling somewhat dazed…

They had experienced so much last night. Zhang Lianmeng had truly transitioned from a girl to a woman, and her demeanor became even more alluring.

With her devilish figure, every movement seemed to capture all of Han Xing’s attention.

Zhang Lianmeng slightly turned her body and, seeing Han Xing half-naked, blushed and said: “I’ll go make breakfast for you. You need to be full to have the energy to fight monsters.”

After speaking, she hurried out of the room as if fleeing.

Han Xing smiled, got up from the bed, put on his gear, and stepped out.

At this moment, Coal was still leisurely wandering within the territory. Seeing Han Xing come out, Coal excitedly leaped forward on all fours, quickly bounding toward Han Xing.

Han Xing squatted down with a smile, gently patting Coal on the head.

However, today Coal seemed a bit unusual. It sniffed Han Xing’s hand, then his leg.

It seemed to detect some different scent on Han Xing.

Curiously, Coal glanced at Han Xing, then looked over at Zhang Lianmeng who was cooking nearby.

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Han Xing quickly took out a Spirit Core from his bag to feed Coal.

With food in front of it, Coal no longer bothered with the scent on Han Xing.

As Coal swallowed each Spirit Core, system notifications came in successively.

[Feeding Successful. Pet ‘Coal’ Potential Value +1.]

[Feeding Successful. Pet ‘Coal’ Potential Value +1.]

…

After devouring more than 30 Spirit Cores, Coal’s satiety level returned to 100.

At this time, Han Xing noticed Coal’s growth potential value.

[Growth Potential: S+ (Pet growth potential can be increased by potential value, each increase requires 10,000 potential value, current potential value: 215)]

After several days of feeding, Coal’s Growth Potential made significant progress, but it was still a long way from reaching 10,000 potential value.

After breakfast,

Han Xing led Zhang Lianmeng to continue leveling up.

However, there was a strange atmosphere between the two.

Zhang Lianmeng became shyer and often found herself lost in thought while looking at Han Xing’s back. Several times, Han Xing had to remind her to cast spells.

Fortunately, with Han Xing and Coal by her side, Zhang Lianmeng wasn’t in any danger.

Moreover, today Zhang Lianmeng noticed that Han Xing was much more patient with her,

which made her feel warm inside.

After a whole day of leveling up, Han Xing’s experience bar steadily rose, and his territory area expanded rapidly.

By evening,

Han Xing collected his arrows as the corpse of a level 10 elite tiger lay at his feet.

At that moment, a system notification came through.

[Successfully Killed Goblin Warrior, Goblin Magician, Goblin Foreman…, Gained +1200 XP, Pet Coal Gained +960 XP.]

[Your Level Has Increased. Current Level: LV10.]

As a flash of white light enveloped Han Xing, he finally reached level 10.

At the same time, a system notification appeared.

[You have successfully reached level 10 and met the level leaderboard requirements, current rank 1.]

[You have received ranking rewards: [Energy Shield Crystal Tower Construction Blueprint] x1, [Golden Armored Golem] x1, [Basic Teleportation Array Construction Blueprint] x1, [Basic Lord’s Cottage Construction Blueprint] x1, [Selectable Golden Weapon Blueprint] x1, [Golden Treasure Chest] x1, Spirit Core x10,000.]

…

A pile of rewards was awarded to Han Xing.

Not long after Han Xing claimed the 1st-place rewards, the chat channel in Area 107 erupted into a heated discussion.

“As expected, God Star River claimed the 1st place. This time it’s a landslide victory!”

“Indeed, this level-up speed is unparalleled.”

“It’s terrifying. I just reached level 7, and I have no idea how God Star River managed it.”

Han Xing’s rapid level-up once again reset their expectations.

At this point, other survivors chimed in.

“Well, after this, others will surely start making their moves, right? Even though the 1st-place rewards have been claimed, the rewards for subsequent ranks aren’t bad either.”

“Who do you think will be second? There are 5 elite-level goldem guards and a Golden Treasure Chest!”

“That’s hard to say. The first-tier group has already reached level 8. Whisperer and Black Hawk, they’re likely candidates.”

“However, Lonely Hero and Cloud Dawn also have a great chance. I heard they might be connected to God Star River. With God Star River’s support, they are strong contenders for 2nd place!”

“Friends of God Star River? Then they indeed have great chance!”

…

While other survivors were discussing the rankings,

Han Xing had already begun examining the rewards he just received.

He first picked up a blueprint and information about it appeared.

[Energy Shield Crystal Tower Construction Blueprint (Basic)]: A territory-type building that constructs an obelisk capable of generating a spiritual shield. The spiritual shield can defend against physical and magical attacks. The obelisk’s defense value is 500, and the shield’s defense value is 200.

Han Xing immediately chose to learn it, as it was a defensive building he’d been longing for. Now, he finally obtained it.

Next, he looked at the construction requirements section of the blueprint.

[Energy Shield Crystal Tower (Basic)]: Depending on the size of the territory, a corresponding number of Spirit Cores is needed to generate a circular energy shield.

The energy shield can defend against physical and magical attacks, with a defense value of 200.

[Construction Materials Required]: Refined Iron x30,000, Mithril x1,000, Magic Crystal x10,000, Rare Earth x50,000, Ether x50,000, Spirit Core x20,000.

[Note: Survivors can adjust the shield size based on the territory area, from a diameter of 10 meters to 200 meters, by allocating the corresponding Spirit Cores to provide energy.]

“This is it!”

Han Xing exclaimed excitedly.

With this obelisk, he could construct a shield with a 200 defense value, and with the castle’s bonus, it would be 240 defense value.

For other survivors or monsters to reach his territory, they would first have to break through this layer of defense.

His security was greatly enhanced!

“Good, good, good, now those little punks won’t be able to launch a surprise attack on me at night anymore!”

Without delay, Han Xing decided to start construction immediately.

Although constructing the Energy Shield Crystal Tower required a lot of materials, his material reserves were more than sufficient.

Han Xing found an empty plot of land, not far from the castle, roughly 30 m².

He clicked to start construction!

A system prompt came up.

[Would you like to consume materials to construct the Basic Energy Shield Crystal Tower? This construction will take 20 hours.]

“Yes.”

[Construction in Progress, Time Remaining: 19 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds…]

“Not bad, it takes much less time than building a castle.”

Having dealt with the obelisk’s rewards,

his eyes burned with excitement as he turned to another reward, the Golden Armored Golem!

[Golden Armored Golem (Chieftain)]: A special enhanced golem that can only operate within the territory.

[Level]: LV10.

[Attributes]: Strength: 108, Dexterity: 74, Wisdom: 86, Constitution: 109.

[Skills]: Ironbone Reinforcement, Flame Burst, Bl00d Slash, Hammerfist Smash, Ironclad Blast.

This thing is over 10 meters tall, even larger than his elite-level energy golem, and accordingly, its attributes are a whole level higher.

Han Xing stroked his chin and looked up, saying, “If the Elite-level Energy Golem were to duel with the Golden Armored Golem, it would likely be overwhelmed by the Golden Armored Golem!”

However, compared to the Energy Golem, the Golden Armored Golem has one significant drawback: it can only operate within the territory.

In other words, it’s only useful defensively and can’t help Han Xing in fighting monsters like the Energy Golem can.
