Considering a Way Out

Other than himself, there were actually another hundred thousand hosts?

System, was this fucking pig farming?

Zhou Ming could not help but complain. The system's revelation had startled him.

However...

He did not find it strange.

After all, on Earth, Zhou Ming had been the sole lucky one among several billion people. But if the scale was expanded infinitely, to a super-scale far greater than the universe itself, and the population expanded to a nearly infinite magnitude, then having over a hundred thousand hosts like Zhou Ming was entirely reasonable.

Moreover, given the immense workload of the Stars and Seas instance, one host was definitely nowhere near enough. They had to rely on sheer numbers to speed up the process of clearing it!

So Zhou Ming quickly accepted the fact the system had told him: that he was far from the only host.

So what came next?

What should Zhou Ming do?

Should he follow the system's arrangements, begin preparing immediately, enter the Stars and Seas instance, and embark on a brand-new journey?

No.

He did not rush into the instance.

Instead, he told the system that he needed more time to adjust and recuperate.

About three years of rest.

In any case, he would not enter a new instance right away.

Seeing how insistent he was, the system could not very well urge him on. It could only tell him to recuperate properly and restore himself to peak condition... After all, the Stars and Seas instance currently had a very low completion rate and was still far from being cleared. Besides, there were over a hundred thousand hosts bound to the system. One more Zhou Ming made little difference, and one less would have little impact, so there was no point in rushing him.

Thus, the system stopped nagging
