Unlike middle and high school, college students could keep their phones with them at all times. Since the game had appeared during the noon break, quite a few students logged into Godfall Continent on the spot.

After seeing another real world, everyone realized that this might be their chance to change their lives.

The other world had more than ordinary people. It also had extraordinary powers. Perhaps if they cultivated to a certain level, they might even achieve immortality.

Compared to that, their studies on Blue Star seemed far less important.

Even Yun Xi's university, one of the nation's top institutions of higher education, was no exception.

Most official players also had an extremely important mission weighing on them. As long as they learned one martial skill or spell within a month, the system would reward them with a Low-level Resurrection Talisman. No one could easily refuse that—it was a second life.

Since it was known that items from Godfall Continent could be brought into reality, could this Low-level Resurrection Talisman also be brought back to Blue Star?

During the ten-day testing period, many people had already mastered the relevant methods of cultivating martial skills. As long as they kept practicing over the next twenty days, they might really be able to complete the mission.

The other students who had never logged in also noticed this unusual atmosphere up close and began asking their roommates and friends about it.

Some people liked to show off, so they naturally shared the information without reservation.

Gradually, although the authorities had blocked the relevant information online, anyone who took the trouble to ask around—especially in places where all kinds of people gathered—could still hear news about Godfall Continent spreading little by little.

Most people remained skeptical, but a small number had already prepared to register and log in as soon as Godfall Continent opened again.

As for the large number of student leave-of-absence applications, the Academic Affairs Office dealt with them very simply by issuing an announcement.

Students did not need to take a leave of absence or ask for leave.

In other words, students could stop attending classes and focus on cultivating their martial skills or spells.

At the same time, however, the school required students to keep up with their studies.

The game was the game, and exams were exams.

If they failed the exam and then failed the make-up exam as well, they would not receive their graduation certificates.

The authorities had little choice but to issue such a policy. After all, no one could guarantee that Godfall Continent would open again.

To prevent social chaos, this was the only choice they could make.

Once this policy came out, it caused an enormous uproar.

They could openly stop attending classes without even asking for leave... Was this for real?

This showed that although the authorities' attitude toward Godfall Continent was not entirely clear, under the temptation of the Low-level Resurrection Talisman, they would not force people to maintain their lives and studies on Blue Star. Instead, they gave them two choices.

Those who wanted to focus on the game could do so, and those who wanted to attend classes could do so as well. Everything was up to them.

Of course, no matter what changes occurred in the future, they would have to bear the consequences of their choices.

Yun Xi naturally chose not to attend classes. With her current Spirit Attribute of 38 points, she had already gained the ability to remember anything after seeing it once.

Even if she did not study for the entire semester, she could still pass her exams by cramming for a week beforehand. It would not affect her in the slightest.

Some players who had already leveled up in the game had truly experienced the benefits of gaining levels and assigning stat points.

Adding points to the two major attributes, Constitution and Spirit, was not as simple as one plus one.

Constitution encompassed all of a person's physical qualities, including agility, strength, reaction speed, and other related attributes.

Spirit Attribute, meanwhile, included one's intelligence, comprehension and analytical abilities, perception, and so on.

Every point added was a comprehensive transformation.

Not to mention adding one point—even adding 0.1 would give a person an extremely obvious sensation.

The authorities had presumably refrained from forcefully suppressing the spread of information because they knew this. They had only blocked the information online to prevent widespread panic throughout society.

That night, Yun Xi received a message from Chen Nana on WeChat. It was an invitation to join a group chat.

[Official Jing City Players Discussion Group 326]

"Yun Xi, do you want to join this group chat? Don't worry. Everyone inside is an official player who has passed the authorities' screening. There aren't any people trying to fish in troubled waters."

"Joining the group chat will make it easier to get information."

"If you don't want to expose your personal information, you can join with an alternate account."

Yun Xi naturally had no reason to refuse. In her previous life, she had only been a vagrant player and knew very little about the internal information available to official players in the early stages.

"No need, Sister Nana. I'll join with my main account."

There were so many official players. According to the authorities' statistics alone, there were already 326 large groups of official players, with an initial estimate of several hundred thousand people. Even if she was recognized, it would not matter.

Yun Xi clicked to accept the invitation.

A flood of messages instantly appeared before her eyes.

[Windy Fate: Trade, trade! Buying Copper Coins with Flower Coins. Anyone interested, message me privately!]

[Chen Nana: @Windy Fate, when buying Copper Coins, it would be best to state your purchase price.]

[Windy Fate: @Chen Nana, got it.]

[AAA Laundry Detergent: I'm also buying Copper Coins. The price is 10 Flower Coins per Copper Coin. Anyone interested, contact me.]

[Flower Bloom Prosperity: Wait, why are all of you buying Copper Coins? Can't you recharge in the game? One Flower Coin gets you one Copper Coin.]

[AAA Laundry Detergent: @Flower Bloom Prosperity, are you new to the group? Don't you know that everyone has a daily recharge limit? You can only recharge 648 Copper Coins a day.

"By the way, if you have any extra Copper Coins, you can sell them to me. The price is negotiable.]

[Chen Nana: Friends who have recently joined the group can check the group announcement. It contains some known information, and its sources are genuine and reliable.]

Chen Nana was an official representative, and everyone knew it. They all opened the announcement to read it.

Yun Xi opened it as well and skimmed through it.

[Information One: The game only allows players to recharge 648 Copper Coins per day. It is recommended that everyone max out their daily recharge the next time the game opens. If you do not have enough Flower Coins, contact the group administrators.]

[Information Two: The main missions for official players are extremely important! It is known that some missions reward the extremely precious Resurrection Talisman! All official players are advised to give it their best!]

[Information Three: Do not go outside the Novice Village alone to fight monsters! Do not go outside the Novice Village alone to fight monsters! Do not go outside the Novice Village alone to fight monsters! The area outside the village is extremely dangerous! The area outside the village is extremely dangerous! The area outside the village is extremely dangerous!

All players are advised to lie low and develop for a while!]

[Information Four: This game carries the risk of death! According to official statistics, more than a thousand people in Jing City have disappeared without cause. The most likely possibility is that they died while logging into Godfall Continent.

All players are advised to prepare themselves mentally every time they log in! Even staying in the Novice Village is not one hundred percent safe! Log off immediately when you encounter danger!]
