There are also many kinds of merchandise for gamers.

Along the way, the various electronic technology exhibition areas were bustling with people and extremely crowded.

However, even amidst this idyllic scene, strange noises could be heard.

A group of people were walking along the street, holding up signs:

"This is an alien conspiracy!"

"The God's Domain is a danger, not an opportunity!"

"Humanity is in danger, we need the truth!"

"These technologies were clearly not developed in a normal way. We shouldn't play this game; it must be extremely harmful!"

However, the group was quickly stopped by patrol officers and dispersed.

Zhang Mingzhen stood there, staring blankly for a long time.

I must say, what those people said makes a lot of sense.

But what does it have to do with him?

Without this game, he would still be that disabled person who has hundreds of millions in cash but dares not spend a single penny more than necessary.

Now, he can come out and spend money as he pleases.

Because he is healthy, can run and walk, and is able to protect his own interests.

Don't worry about being robbed; there's no way to fight back.

He soon arrived at a hall that sold gaming equipment.

At this moment, everyone is caught up in the wave of joining the God's Domain, and looking up, the basic gaming helmets that are cheap are already sold out.

A long queue formed.

"No need to queue, just make an appointment online at home."

"We're waiting here, and the appointment numbers are issued according to our online reservation numbers."

Despite the staff's repeated explanations, a large number of people still waited offline.

Clearly, they wanted to see the helmets arrive and be distributed to them immediately.

Zhang Mingzhen understood these people's actions, after all, Copper Coins were currently very expensive.

By completing basic daily tasks, you can earn Copper Coins, which can be exchanged for over 1000 coins.

If you're lucky, you might get a piece of equipment that can sell for tens of thousands.

Where can you find a job with a monthly salary of 30,000?

Don't be fooled by the fact that many people don't value millions, with some even asking for 888,000 yuan in dowry. In reality, most people only earn around 5,000 yuan a month.

Moreover, they work 12-hour shifts a day and only have one day off on weekends.

How tiring can playing a game be?

It only takes a maximum of 4 to 8 hours a day, and then it's over.

However, the gaming pod area is relatively quiet.

After all, gaming helmets range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, and there are many, many people who can afford them.

However, gaming pods start at hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, which is unaffordable for very few people.

Although there were some people in the experience area, it was still quite empty.

However, Zhang Mingzhen knew that once some people became wealthy, the game pods would also be in short supply.

Zhang Mingzhen went straight to the gaming pod counter and said to the receptionist, "I need to order a gaming pod."

"Okay sir, please go to the body measurement area to collect your body data so that we can match you with the most suitable model and arrange priority delivery." The sales assistant greeted him with a smile.

Customers who can afford to purchase a gaming pod are already among the most VIPs.

Moreover, the young man before them was fair-skinned and had a tall, upright figure.

They're obviously from a privileged background.

After lying down on the examination table, professionals will place sensor patches on various parts of his body.

Various data then popped up on the screen:

[Adult male]

[Physiological function status: Good]

[Cell viability index: Good]

All other positive indicators were significantly higher than the conventional benchmark.

He does not have the "three highs" (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol).

For Zhang Mingzhen, who had relied on a wheelchair for many years, such a figure would have been impossible.

Weakness in at least one lower limb muscle is unavoidable.

But now all of that has indeed changed.

All of this stems from the ineffable power of the "God's Domain".

Zhang Mingzhen was still somewhat shaken after reviewing these indicators.

He blinked, still feeling like he was dreaming.

Fortunately, everything before him told him that it was true.

After his information was entered into the system, the sales assistant informed him that the game pod would be matched and delivered to his residence within three days.

After paying half as a deposit, Zhang Mingzhen returned home again.

He couldn't wait to log back into the game.

Just then, several people suddenly appeared at the shop entrance and shouted:

"There's something fishy going on in this store!"

"They didn't send us the gaming equipment; they sent it to them ahead of time!"

"I just asked, and someone said they can expedite it, and if I pay half again as much, I can get it earlier!"

"Damn it! No wonder my order wasn't shipped yet; it turns out someone from their shop intercepted it!"

This is actually a common occurrence.

If you want to pick up your car quickly, you'll have to pay an extra expedited fee.

But Zhang Mingzhen also knew that this must have been done by a shop assistant in secret.

After all, the gaming helmet wasn't initially linked to an individual's identity; it was only linked after the product was delivered to their home.

Therefore, it's fine to sell it to this person, or it's fine to sell it to someone else.

Helmets are in high demand right now, so shop assistants naturally have opportunities to tamper with them.

This is why, even though people have booked online, there are still large queues at physical stores.

This farce quickly escalated.

Many people started vandalizing the store.

Some people even posted it online.

A storm was brewing.

Zhang Mingzhen quickly slipped away.

A wise person does not stand under a dangerous wall.

It's Monday now, so you should be able to claim the Weekly Dungeon rewards from the Tower of Heaven.

As Zhang Mingzhen entered the residential compound, the security guard on duty rubbed his eyes and finally realized something was wrong.

"Hey, aren't you Mr. Zhang who came to pick up his package in a wheelchair?"

"Your leg is healed?" the security guard asked in surprise.

"Yes, my leg is better."

"It's not because playing that game is good, is it?"

"Yes," Zhang Mingzhen didn't hide anything.

After all, this couldn't be kept secret any longer. He does frequently pick up packages, so it's normal for the security guard to recognize him, since young people in wheelchairs are very rare.

Moreover, he didn't need to move houses.

That's like trying to hide something obvious.

"Just as I thought, the internet says playing that game can improve your health! You're really lucky," the security guard congratulated. "Congratulations!"

"Hehe, thank you for taking care of me before."

"It's all as it should be. I guess I should go play that game too. What's your name in the game? I'll come find you," the security guard asked.

"I have something to do, let's talk later." Zhang Mingzhen did not reveal his game ID.

"Oh well."

After getting home, Zhang Mingzhen immediately went online.

At this moment, in the community's residents' chat group, the group admin was tagging everyone:

"Retirees with free time at home are welcome to play this God's Domain Game."

"We purchased a batch of helmets. We are willing to accept any elderly person with a junior high school education who can receive training. We will purchase them on a daily basis in Copper Coins and sign a purchase contract."

Good grief, they're targeting retired workers.

Zhang Mingzhen understood that when even old men and women were enthusiastic about something, it was truly a hit.

He quickly put on his helmet and logged into the game.

Sure enough, the package sent by the system lay Jingjing in my mailbox.

In addition to a large amount of experience points, there is also a random gift box for your profession.

He opened it casually and got a pair of ordinary boots with decent stats, perfect for replacing his old equipment.

After changing into the new equipment, he planned to continue working on his progress in the Divine Ruins Dungeon this week.

At this moment, his friend list started flashing.

He has very few contacts, besides the group of "Wandering Arrow" whom he added earlier, there is only "Utterly Empty" whom he met yesterday.

The two of them sent messages at the same time.

"Wandering Arrow" wrote, "Brother Chongxing, I heard that you helped Utterly Empty clear the Hell-level Divine Ruins yesterday?"

"Could you help us this time too?"

"We understand the rules, all drops are yours, we only want experience."

"If it's convenient for you... please consider us first!"

"At your price."

After a night of fermentation, players from certain factions almost all learned that "Chongxing" was capable of leading a team to conquer Hell difficulty.

The reality that the other party is Cheater has become deeply ingrained in people's minds.

However, most people have not yet established contact with Zhang Mingzhen and can only remain inactive.

Meanwhile, "Wandering Arrow" kept an eye on the friend status bar, and as soon as "Chongxing" came online, he immediately sent a request, adopting an extremely humble attitude.

After all, multiple guilds have verified that they struggle even on easy mode, let alone on hell.

Instead of wasting time in low-level dungeons, it's better to pay someone to Chongxing the team.

Even without acquiring any equipment, leveling up quickly is worthwhile.

This game is no longer a game; it's a miracle!

Many disabled people, and even the blind, have regained their health through gaming.

Many terminally ill patients have also experienced a reduction in their physical ailments!

From this perspective alone, this God's Domain Game, is destined to become a living space that people will never be able to leave in the future.

Moreover, everyone has a spot.

They were naturally unaware that the original version of the Skyfall Game was not so generous.

With a population of 10 billion, only 10 million eligibility slots were opened up.

That's equivalent to only one in 1000 people, which is comparable to the difficulty of getting a civil service job.

They even wondered, if this game could interfere with the real body, then what about supernatural abilities?

If you work hard to upgrade and then acquire extraordinary abilities in reality, that would be like reaching the sky in one step!

It's said that the experience rewards from the Hell Dungeon are extremely generous, so they naturally couldn't wait to contact Zhang Mingzhen.

Meanwhile, "Utterly Empty" on the other end was also waiting. "Chongxing, are you taking us to Divine Ruins again today? Same rules as always, I've been online for ages."

Zhang Mingzhen considered it briefly.

Bringing only one person yields limited benefits, while the dungeon can accommodate up to ten people.

If you charge one million per person, even if you reduce the cost per person, you can still earn three times the return in one go.

To protect his privacy, relying solely on the bank account he purchased is not actually a safe bet.

They'll still get caught eventually.

Ideally, real-world currency should be transferred to a dedicated game account.

It would be great if this game had a dedicated bank account.

He didn't realize that he was actually very safe when facing powerful forces.

Because every player is Gao Linzhi's prey, how could he let others harvest his own prey?

Especially for special figures like Zhang Mingzhen, if they are targeted by real-world forces, the God's Domain Game will remind Gao Linzhi.

The real danger he might encounter right now is actually from petty people who are greedy for money, thieves, robbers, street thugs, and villains.

These guys don't think about the long term; if they see you have money, they'll try to steal or rob you.

Even if those powerful forces discovered Zhang Mingzhen's Zhang Mingzhen identity, they would only negotiate and cooperate politely, and would not think of killing or Enslavement Zhang Mingzhen.

Because of the mystery and vast background of the God's Domain Game.

Powerful forces won't take those risks.

Zhang Mingzhen thought to himself that as the number of people in the team increased, the experience points each person received would naturally be diluted.

However, for him, there was no experience gain from entering the same instance a second time, and he didn't care how much experience his teammates could gain, as long as they were willing to do so.

If someone is unwilling to share their experience, they are free to choose not to do so.

He believed that there would be no shortage of people willing to pay to join.

After a moment's thought, he sent the team invitation to the world channel.

"Hell difficulty Divine Ruins Dungeon team needed, 10 players, 1 million gold per person, guaranteed clear."

After sending the message, he logged into the game himself.

Before officially forming a team, he decided to complete his weekly dungeon progress on his own.

The news caused an immediate sensation.

"Wow, this is a top-tier player! I need to team up with him!"

"How much? Can you carry me for free, I can send you pictures?"

"Get lost, trying to get something for free? Count me in, hey! I want to skip five levels too!"

"Why are you guys upstairs getting involved when you're not even level 10?"

"Isn't one million too expensive? Nine people is nine million... Is money in the Divine Ruins so easy to make? Can you give us a discount, big boss? We need to do business with small profits and quick turnover."

"Yeah, I think 1000 is a lot, considering it's just a game."

"Are you an idiot upstairs? Can your game cure your severe nearsightedness? Can it cure disability?"

How much do you think it would cost to treat a disability?

"Yes, this game is a wealth redistribution machine; rich people naturally want to level up."

"If you can't afford the price, get out. I want one spot."

"Exactly, is one million a lot? A meal can cost one million, but how much does it cost to treat a disability?"

"Chongxing, our guild needs nine spots. The friend request has been sent, please approve it." The Spokesperson of the wealthy Dragon Diagram Guild quickly submitted the request.

"Your guild wants nine spots at once; that's far too greedy."

"Mr. Chongxing, our Hero Alliance only needs five seats. Please accept our friend request." The Hero Alliance quickly followed up.

The "Brotherhood" was formed by "The Wandering Arrow" and his companions.

These people are all old friends and classmates who have known each other for a long time. The group is small, but they trust each other.

The atmosphere is usually harmonious.

Of course, they're just superficial friends; those who know, know.

But the current situation is clearly beyond the scope of ordinary times.

"Whether you go or not, I have to participate—this isn't a discussion, it's a decision! I'm going to join my idol's team no matter what!" Add Oil Little Round said resolutely.

"Yuanzi, you're Priest, why are you in such a hurry to level up?"

"That's a million!"

"Wouldn't it be safer to help you once we've improved our strength? Damage dealers should be prioritized for leveling up," "Wandering Shadow" objected.

"Shadow is right, Yuanzi, wait a moment this time."

"We're going not just for the experience, but also to Earth Reading dungeon."

"There are only nine spots available, other guilds will definitely send their best players too." "Wandering Arrow" was actually quite eager to try.

The members of the guild were not short of resources, but as the guild leader, he had to consider the long term.

Melee classes are better able to see the skill patterns when facing bosses head-on, which is more helpful for their team's future raiding.

Therefore, this million, though seemingly a large sum, is crucial for land reclamation.

Therefore, in the eyes of those who are interested, there are actually not many.

After some discussion, everyone finally agreed to let the Shield Guard "Mumu" and "Chaoyang" join the team.

If there are limited spots, "Mumu" will go alone.
