Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Lootstorm Baptism

The sky above Glitchborn Valley ruptured—pixelating like a corrupted screen—then released a torrential downpour of red and gold light. Lin Feng shielded his eyes as his system interface exploded with notifications.

From the shattered forest to the smoldering canyons, beasts began to rise—monsters shaped by bugged data, some with three heads blinking in and out of existence, others stitched together by lines of broken code.

Lin Feng stood in the eye of the chaos, Quantum Phoenix God perched on his shoulder, wings vibrating with stored power.

"System," he said calmly, "deploy passive casting protocol. Infinite cycle. No cooldowns."

A sudden quake rippled through the land.

From the fractured horizon, a new monstrosity emerged—twenty meters tall, stitched together with bone, crystal, and corrupted data. It roared with multiple voices, dragging a corrupted sword through the air as if space itself resisted its presence.

Lin Feng's smile widened.

"Boss fight already? You're spoiling me, Glitchborn Valley."

He snapped his fingers. Quantum Phoenix launched skyward, forming a firestorm of corrupted divine flame. Meanwhile, Lin Feng walked calmly forward, arms aglow with infinite mana.

"Let's baptize this whole realm in loot."
