Suddenly Felt Like Writing a Poem

It was 9 p. m. in a brightly lit Research Base.

"West Pavilion Gardener has already entered Binhai City. Is it really okay to let that dangerous guy in?"

With her long, slender legs casually propped up on the table, the Young Girl with snow-white hair and pale eyes held a cup of milk tea in her hand. While browsing the content that was flashing on the computer screen, Young Girl complained with considerable dissatisfaction.

"Strictly speaking, we suffered a great loss this time. We used something left by our ancestors, so why should they be able to come in and get a share of the pie so easily?"

"Those who are born as insignificant as ants should aspire to great heights; those whose lives are as fragile as paper should possess an indomitable spirit."

The man, who seemed to always have a scarf around his neck, leaned against the window and smiled nonchalantly.

"We Player are all comrades-in-arms on the front lines of the resistance; there shouldn't be any faction divisions between us."

"Yes, yes, you always have a bunch of grand principles. Anyway, if anything goes wrong in the end, you'd better be prepared to take the blame."

The Young Girl casually tossed her empty milk tea into the Trash Can, rolling her eyes in annoyance.

"Speaking of which, are you really not planning to go over there? It seems like you're about to face Mandatory Quest, aren't you sure you don't want to go in and hide? You almost died during the last Mandatory Quest."

"You can go ahead, I have more important things to do here."

Holding a Notebook in his hand, the man opened it and gave a very casual answer.

"Another Anomaly Incident has broken out in Dachuan City. According to others' speculations, it's likely another Type Anomaly. I need to go there and deal with it before the situation worsens."

"... Whatever you want, just be careful and remember not to die."

Standing up from the chair, the Young Girl stretched languidly, revealing her beautiful figure.

"By the way, is there anything I can do for Binhai City?"

"Yes, please keep a close eye on one person for me."

After thinking for a moment, the man smiled.

"Who?"

"Elder Xu's heir, Bai Zhi."

As time passed, dusk fell silently.

When the clock struck 12, a system announcement popped up in front of all Player located in Binhai City.

[Version Update: Inner World Battlefield.]

[The large-scale campaign begins today, October 20th at 0:00. Registration will be open for Seven Days, from today until October 27th. Player can register to participate in this campaign through the System Interface.]

The rules for this campaign are as follows.

[①: This campaign will last for 30 days. After the registration period ends, no outsiders will be able to enter the campaign area.]

[②: During large-scale battles, the entire Binhai City will be divided and covered by hundreds of smaller Dungeon of varying sizes.]

[③: Once Player registers to participate in a campaign, they will be unable to leave the campaign area. During the Campaign Quest, Mandatory Quest assigned to the Player will be cancelled.]

[④: During large-scale battles, Player' overall performance will be accumulated as points. Some Dungeon contain hidden treasure chests, which can be opened to obtain a large amount of extra rewards.]

[⑤: A total of 20 Otherworld Player participated in this large-scale battle, and they are subject to the same rules as Player from this world.]

[⑥: Player -versus-player combat is discouraged during large-scale battles. Killing other Player will not yield any rewards or penalties.]

[⑦: If the overall Walkthrough progress reaches 100%, the battle is declared a victory, and all surviving Player will receive substantial rewards based on their accumulated points. If the overall Walkthrough progress is less than 100% within the time limit, the battle is declared a defeat, and the accumulated points are forfeited.]

[⑧: Due to the influence of a certain Special item, this battle will take place in the Inner World. The damage and destruction caused in the Inner World will be reflected in the Real World to some extent.]

[⑨: Player who confirm their participation in this battle will automatically gain access to the Inner World.]

[Have you signed up to participate in this major campaign?]

[Whether]

As this notification popped up, countless scattered, intersecting white lines swept down from the sky above Binhai City, instantly dividing the entire Binhai City into hundreds of independent areas of varying sizes, just like a chessboard.

"A Special item... was it Night Watcher Organization?"

After reading the System Prompt that popped up in the shortest possible time, Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

If it weren't for that Special item, would this battle have taken place in the Real World?

With the entire Binhai City divided into hundreds of Dungeon of varying sizes, common would undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties.

"This is probably what they call inheritance and heritage... Did something similar happen a long time ago? Perhaps those Immortals and Buddhas and Gods in Myth and Legendary were actually powerful Player from that era..."

Bai Zhi reached up and touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

He's currently Level seven, but the combat power he's displaying is actually not much different from the gods in Legendary and Myth. So what about the Players with higher Level?

"It seems I still need to find an opportunity to ask Chu Ci about this..."

Since the rules for each Large-scale Dungeon are different, the White-haired loli couldn't know the specific details until the system notification arrived.

As he sat at his desk pondering, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Mu Qiansè's slightly conflicted voice rang out from outside.

"May I come in?"

"Come in, the door's unlocked."

Bai Zhi looked up at the door and replied.

What do you think of this System Prompt?

Sitting down on the chair by the bed, Mu Qiansè appeared slightly reserved, as it was her first time entering another boy's room.

"To be honest, I don't quite understand it..."

Have you seen the movie Silent Hill?

Sitting in the chair, Bai Zhi turned around and looked at the other person.

"Uh... I've heard of it, but I don't dare to look."

Mu Qiansè shook her head Honest.

"... Actually, it's quite simple. After registering, we can enter the Inner World to Walkthrough Dungeon and earn Game points and other rewards. If we reach 100% Walkthrough within the time limit, we'll achieve the completion Dungeon. If we fail, our world will become even worse."

Bai Zhi pressed his temples, giving a somewhat speechless reply.

"That's about it. Any questions?"

"This mission doesn't seem to be mandatory. What if no Player are willing to participate in the Campaign Quest?"

Mu Qiansè looked worried.

"Judging from the rules, this time it seems quite dangerous. I doubt many Player would be willing to take the risk to participate."

"You're wrong. It should be said that a large number of Player will choose to participate in this mission in order to avoid the Mandatory Quest."

Bai Zhi shook his head.

"Tell me, excluding the Novice Quest, how many Mandatory Quest have you completed?"

"Hmm... three times."

"What are the difficulties and risks associated with the Mandatory Quest?"

"The book is difficult... I understand."

Mu Qiansè nodded thoughtfully.

"That makes sense. The Mandatory Quest that the system issues every now and then are much more difficult than the Campaign Quest. Whether it's for the greater rewards or out of fear of death, these Player will still sign up."

Shrugging, Bai Zhi turned around again.

"It's getting late, you should go home and rest. We can discuss the details tomorrow morning... What would you like to eat for breakfast tomorrow? I prefer noodles."

"... I see."

After a moment of silence, Mu Qiansè nodded.

However, when she stood up from the chair to go back to her room, she suddenly froze.

At the half-open doorway, a White-haired loli stood there, peering eerily through the crack in the door, staring at her intently.

Mu Qiansè: "..."
