Game Invasion: I Am the Only Ordinary Player - Editing the Backend, the Joy of Playing Chess

At this very moment.

Gao Linzhi scanned the server.

Zhang Mingzhen, this catfish, has already broken through to level 11 thanks to the cheat code he provided.

This directly sparked a leveling frenzy across the entire server.

Gao Linzhi then checked the backend logs.

"Level 11:1."

"Level 9, 223 people."

"Level 8, 10,999 people."

"Level 7..."

"Number of Black Iron Equipment: 5."

"Common equipment: 23,334."

The drop rate isn't controlled enough.

Gao Linzhi quietly lowered the drop rate again; scarcity drives up value.

At the same time, it increased the guaranteed number of monsters from which Ordinary Player could obtain equipment.

You have to grind! How can you move the world without grinding?

He placed a lot of core code from the Skyfall Game into it, which can have a reverse effect on reality.

Gao Linzhi discovered another new characteristic:

When a large number of players are active in a game, their own beliefs, emotions, and other mental activities will come together to form a kind of reflection.

The collected core code of the Skyfall Game will be transformed into a new type of energy.

This energy is clearly spiritual energy.

If you mix with a world of the supernatural, you'll attract supernatural beings; if you mix with a world of Ability System, you'll attract supernatural abilities...

That's really good.

In Gao Linzhi's observation,

Many astute guild leaders contacted "Wandering Arrow" and others.

They began to inquire about the monsters inside the dungeon—as the first team to clear it, the information they possessed was undoubtedly the most crucial.

However, the other party only provided some ambiguous information, leaving them to guess.

These people understood that no one wanted to give away this information for free.

Everyone started discussing it on the public chat.

"Infinite Labyrinth... sounds like there should be enough monsters, right?"

"Otherwise, with so many people, how can there be enough to go around?"

"Monsters are infinite, but territory is definitely finite, unless we implement an infinite dungeon system, giving each team one dungeon."

"Impossible."

"Be content. In the entire server, only our starting village has completed the prerequisite quests; this already gives us a head start."

"Our 'Excavator' guild specializes in gold farming, and we welcome all bosses to place orders at any time!"

"We just went in with the team to explore, and the space inside is ridiculously huge. Each room is like a plaza, crammed with hundreds of monsters... We were completely wiped out."

"Friendly reminder: The Infinite Labyrinth is an underground dungeon. The monsters are zombies with very high attack power, so you will need a sufficient number of front-line tanks and healers."

"Is springtime here for Priest? A level 5 Priest is requesting to fight! Any teams need a healer? My healing output is more than enough!"

"Wake up, upstairs. No matter how much milk you have, it's useless if you're not high enough level to get in."

"The lowest level is level six, but even level six people would probably have a hard time surviving inside; they're basically just there to make up the numbers."

"Our team is recruiting five Priest, level 7 or above, with priority given to those who have good equipment."

At this moment, the channel of "Red Rose," a guild composed entirely of Priest, was unusually lively.

"I told you so, ladies! Our jobs are finally useful! There really are no useless jobs!"

"It's useful, but most people haven't even reached level six, so they can't even get in the door. What can we do?"

As an elder administrator, "Little Bell" had to consider the situation of most members:

"I've already been contacted; they need a large number of Priest of level six or higher."

"But nearly 60% of the sisters in our guild still don't meet the requirements."

The guild leader, "Rose," is a level seven Priest.

She is thirty-four years old in real life.

She is an independent woman with modest assets.

After going through three divorces, I finally achieved financial independence.

She knew all too well that, in reality, the physical differences between women and men were insurmountable.

At this time, the God's Domain Game suddenly appeared.

She didn't care about it at first, thinking it was just a game for poor losers.

It wasn't until he saw many second-generation rich kids and wealthy people entering the market that Mu Qiang, with his keen insight, immediately sensed the opportunities within.

Sure enough, once she entered the game and discovered that her attributes might surpass those of men, she immediately realized how powerful the game was.

So, in the early stages of the game, she invested money to hire people to level up her character, and then formed this all-female Priest guild.

Those in the know understand: so-called all-female organizations often end up in a mess.

Because in the new era, few women are willing to do hard, tiring, or dangerous work.

Unless it's a woman from the previous generation.

As a senior executive in the company, she hoped to break this prejudice.

She wants to lead her sisters to achieve great things in the game.

After a moment's thought, she made a plan.

"Listen up, everyone: Priest who have reached level six, come to me to form a group. I'll take you to various raid groups to explore the dungeons."

"Don't worry if you haven't reached level six yet, I'll pay for a studio to keep you company all night."

"I hope everyone can overcome their fatigue and strive to pass the CET-6 exam tomorrow."

"That's all I can do for now, please bear with me."

No sooner had the words left her mouth than a high-quality woman complained, "How could they do this? Are there any guys who would just log into my account and have it leveled up for them?"

"Yeah, back when I played games, I had five men helping me level up my character."

"Alright, Sister Rose has already gone to such lengths to help, it would be unreasonable for us not to lend a hand. Otherwise, we might as well just quit the association!"

"That's right. This game has one account per person, linked by brainwaves. There's no power leveling. At most, you can reduce the monsters to Canxue and then finish them off."

"Exactly! Don't worry, guild leader, I won't sleep tonight. Level 6 is nothing! I'll show you how to get to level 7!"

"My sister is the prettiest; she's leaving the guild."

"I'm the main character, I'm leaving the guild."

"With such excellent examples before us, we're leaving the guild."

"I am the goddess, I'm leaving the guild."

Goodness, after just a few complaints and grumbles, more than a dozen people left the guild in no time.

We're all fairies, who's going to put up with who's bad temper?

In gaming guilds, those who can tolerate insults and continue to endure them for the sake of immediate benefits are mostly men.

There are plenty of women who are sycophants; they wouldn't put up with this kind of treatment.

"Damn these lazybones!"

Red Rose gritted her teeth. These bastards!

They work hard and spend their own money, and they still complain about being tired?

Too lazy to even collect kills?

If this were male players, wouldn't they all be overjoyed and grind for three days straight?

She decided to just hire some manual laborers instead!

The creation of the Infinite Labyrinth sparked a global exploration craze among players.

Many professional players have begun publishing various guides on the massive map size, efficient leveling strategies, and optimal team composition.

It's not that they're generous; it's that they're after traffic.

These days, traffic equals money.

Many people even directly advertised using their game IDs.

"The Delicate Wolf," "The Big Baby..."

Large guilds, on the other hand, are the first to reach the designated entrance thanks to their comprehensive class system and high class levels.

As these people entered the maze one by one, they discovered that there was another world inside.

According to the map, this underground palace has more than ten floors.

Each floor consists of hundreds of monster- Secret Room, and each Secret Room is cleared of all zombies.

Monsters will reappear in about a minute, making it an excellent leveling spot for level 10 players.

At this time.

After browsing the heated discussions on the world channel, Zhang Mingzhen predicted that today would see a collective leap in player levels.

His advantage will shrink dramatically.

After all, those with power and money will hire a lot of studios to help them farm experience points.

The game has no restrictions; experience is awarded based on kills, not damage dealt.

There's no other way but to let them take advantage of this.

At that moment, an email notification appeared.

"The Black Iron Equipment at the auction house has been sold."

The proceeds will be delivered by mail.

He opened the email and pocketed the fifty-five Silver Coins, demonstrating that the market's demand for high-level equipment remains strong.

This is 55 Silver Coins, and the official exchange rate is 3100 Copper Coins per Silver Coins.

He heard that a black market had also emerged, and that the black market could better reflect the actual currency exchange rate.

More Copper Coins are needed to exchange for Silver Coins.

Because there was nowhere to directly exchange Silver Coins.

Zhang Mingzhen then used the teleportation function to arrive at Mingyue Village.

He submitted the Skyride Crystal required for the mission to the village chief.

"Village Chief, here is the crystal you requested. Please open a portal to Shuangyue Town for me."

"Young man, I never expected you to actually find this item. Thank you, brave traveler."

"I'll go repair the Teleportation Array right away."

The village chief then went to an abandoned stone altar at the village entrance and placed the crystal on it.

The stone altar trembled slightly, and its originally dull surface began to shimmer with a magnificent light.

The system then displayed a message: "The Teleportation Array has been repaired and is now usable."

"Warrior, since you are the one who restored the Teleportation Array to life, this teleportation will be free of charge."

"You're welcome to visit Mingyue Village often in the future."

After finishing the task, the village chief looked relieved and smiled.

Zhang Mingzhen thought to himself, "Completing such an important task, yet there's no substantial reward whatsoever."

By only waiving one delivery fee, the planner seems rather stingy.

"Village chief, how much does it normally cost for one teleportation?"

"Ten Copper Coins per transaction."

That's incredibly stingy.

If this game weren't so mysterious and unpredictable, even a dog wouldn't play it.

Well then, Zhang Mingzhen figured that Ordinary Player wouldn't want to come back anyway.

Even a dog wouldn't go to such a stingy place.

He then bid farewell to the village chief and stepped directly into the Teleportation Array, which was shrouded in a halo of light, heading straight for Wushuang Town.

The swampy area south of Mingyue Village.

The place is bustling with noise today.

Guilds and individual teams alike were teleported to the entrance of the Infinite Labyrinth.

Most of the players who are level six or above have arrived here.

Of course, the total number is not large.

From a distance, there were at least tens of thousands of people.

Teams, fully equipped and ready to go, lined up in long rows in front of the Teleportation Array, while some teams were recruiting members outside the maze gate.

"Damn, with so many people, why doesn't this game have more servers? Everyone's crammed together like this!"

"There are plenty of starting areas. We've opened the Infinite Labyrinth here, and other places have opened it too."

"Damn it, those guys are just taking advantage of us."

"The more I look at it, the more it seems like a private server. It's not legitimate, and they don't even have many new servers. We newbies are a few days late and can't catch up anymore," one player said disdainfully.

Most people don't care about these things; they only care about grinding monsters in front of them.

"Looking for stable, non-disruptive teammates of all classes who will stay with the group for at least three hours in the Underground Palace. Those who want to quit midway, please do not apply."

"The team is recruiting one Priest. Must have operational awareness and bring their own potions."

"Any beautiful women joining us? Let's fight to the very end together."

"Looking for a reliable Priest, including medication!"

One of the team members, nicknamed "Datou Datou," was suggesting to his teammates, "Last time, that Priest retreated as soon as he saw the monster, and even dropped his weapon when it got close. It's really hard to coordinate with him."

"Big Head, that's not a very manly idea," the mage "Silent Black Sheep" said, half-closing his eyes as he scanned the crowd. "Are Priest only for healing? Wouldn't it be better to find a beautiful female Priest?"

"This is a real game, hehe."

"That's true. I think we should find a beautiful and elegant Priest who can both offer help and be pleasing to the eye."

The female player in the team, "Qingtian Wawa," immediately retorted, "Black Sheep, what do you mean by that?"

"Does he think I'm ugly?"

"I'm level seven, believe it or not, I'm not healing you right now!"

"No, no, I was just saying it casually."

"Datou Datou" urged, "Let's find another Priest of a higher level, or one who is willing to fight alongside us, as soon as possible."

"The guide says one Priest isn't enough; the monsters inside are high-level and have strong attack power."

"If this continues, it's likely that even the lower levels of the maze will be difficult to find any available secret Secret Room."

Despite its name, the monsters in the Secret Room Infinite Labyrinth respawn in just one minute after being cleared. Usually, a skilled team of ten to twenty people can control one Secret Room.

As the number of monster-hunting teams increases, friction and competition become inevitable.

"We'll split up and search for empty Secret Room. Once we find them, we'll share the coordinates in the team chat," Datou Datou instructed, examining the maze map.

On the other side, a conflict broke out between two elite teams from the Dragon Diagram Guild and the War Alliance Guild.

Reinforcements from both sides are continuously arriving.

They compete against each other.

The incident stemmed from the fact that two adjacent Monster farming room were too close together, and the War Alliance's archer inadvertently aggroed the monsters in the Dragon Map room.

Due to poor communication, the other party perceived this as stealing monsters.

Stealing monsters is an act that generates a lot of aggro.

Thus, sporadic skirmishes quickly escalated into a chaotic battle between the two major guilds.

Upon receiving the message, Dragon Totem Flying immediately contacted the War Alliance management.

"Forget it, now is definitely not the time for conflict to break out."

"The guild's primary goal is to reach level 10."

"It's not like we're fighting a boss. As long as there's no conflict of interest, we should try to avoid disputes."

The conflict was quickly quelled through coordination between high-level officials from both sides.

"What's going on over there? The meeting clearly stated that the priority is to advance the rankings and to avoid conflict as much as possible."

"Who is in charge of the team? Let him accept the punishment himself."

"Dragon Diagram Frenzy" was grinding monsters in a secluded Secret Room, taking down one Canxue monster after another.

Without pausing his battle axe, he turned and asked the person beside him without turning his head.

"It has been properly handled."

"The War Alliance also doesn't want to escalate the situation; we're on the same page."

"Boss, how much further are you to level 10? Once you reach level 10, you can leave Mingyue Village and head to the town. I wonder what new gameplay features will be available then."

"The beginner village has too little content, and even the ways to earn Gold Coin are limited."
