The Link Between Two Worlds, Gao Linzhi's New Scheme

At this very moment.

Gao Linzhi's gaze swept over again.

He discovered that one of the pieces he had set up was encountering a strange event in the game.

These tasks were randomly generated by the game's AI, and he didn't interfere.

How much time would it take him to design it himself?

He immediately became interested, knowing that strange events were happening all over the Blue Star world.

This piqued Gao Linzhi's interest.

How about a collaboration?

Just like the "Fourth Catastrophe" player strategy that many people play, it involves summoning Earth players to Blue Star to solve strange events there?

There are two advantages to doing this:

First, there are no mysterious forces on Earth, so players will not lose control and can utilize the intellectual resources of Earth's players.

Secondly, similar to the Fourth Catastrophe player strategy, it allows players to establish their own power.

Gao Linzhi form is currently in the Blue Star world.

It's impossible for him to return to Earth, since there's no such thing as Immortality on Earth.

Therefore, the Blue Star world still needs to be consolidated; we can't let it fall apart.

With that in mind, Gao Linzhi began to adjust the game settings.

That's a dungeon entrance.

After players complete the first eerie quest, they will randomly encounter this dungeon entrance.

They will hear a notification like this. "Ding! Congratulations, player, you have successfully triggered the adventure quest instance. Completing this quest instance will grant you real physical enhancement and lifespan."

The enhancement of the body does not involve Mysterious Energy.

Gao Linzhi only needs to use the system's core code to modify the biological tissue.

In short, we must prevent them from gaining control of spiritual power, and thus prevent the people of Earth from slipping out of our grasp.

Gao Linzhi quickly finished setting it up.

At this moment, Zhang Mingzhen noticed a cage-like object in the courtyard.

"Are those poultry in that cage?" he asked.

The cage door was open, empty, with some green discharge.

The old woman's face showed a hint of disgust. "That's something Xiao Qing picked up from somewhere. It looks like a pangolin and a snake at the same time. It's very ugly and doesn't have much meat on it."

"Fortunately, we don't have to worry about its food; it goes out to find food on its own."

"They've probably run off again by now."

After saying goodbye to the old lady, Zhang Mingzhen strolled around the village, trying to experience the local customs and culture, but he did not find anything particularly unusual.

"Where exactly does the anomaly in this space originate?" he pondered as he walked.

Suddenly, a commotion arose from the direction of the village entrance ahead.

A person came stumbling and crawling in, his face filled with horror, shouting something at the top of his lungs as he ran.

The villagers rushed out of their houses in a panic, their faces filled with fear.

"The Warcraft are coming! Quick, find a place to hide!"

The village was thrown into chaos instantly; no one had anticipated that the beast tide would surge in without warning.

Some collapsed to the ground, muttering to themselves, "There's nowhere to escape... We're all going to die here."

Despair suddenly spread like a thick fog.

In the distance, hordes of zombie-like Warcraft stormed into the village, attacking the unarmed villagers.

Zhang Mingzhen was about to step forward and unleash his power when he found himself unable to move or use any of his abilities.

He was as if time had been frozen, and he could only act as a transparent bystander, watching helplessly as more than seven hundred lives vanished one by one under the claws of his thugs.

Just then, a mournful howl suddenly pierced the sky—a creature with wings on its back, resembling both a dragon and a python, swooped down from the sky, grabbed Xiao Qing who had been bitten by a zombie with its long tail, and soared into the clouds.

The attack lasted only about ten minutes.

The village was then reduced to ruins, with severed limbs scattered everywhere.

Zhang Mingzhen stood there, watching the creature return with the barely alive Xiao Qing.

The girl's face was bluish, and her breathing was weak; she was clearly beyond saving from the corpse poison.

Only then did he see the creature's panel clearly:

[Azure-Scaled Dragon Python (Juvenile) (Tamerable)]

[Body Condition: 365]

[Strength: 257]

[Intelligence: 268]

[Agility: 159]

[Talent [Protect Master]: Upon activation, inherits 30% of the master's attributes and one designated skill, lasting 1 hour, with a 24-hour cooldown.]

It was just a young python, yet it tried its best to save the girl.

However, it was all in vain.

The child still died.

Is this the truth behind the destruction of Little Creek Village?

It turns out that what I just saw was all an illusion.

It's all just a repeat of the same thing.

How can we leave this Illusion Realm?

Suddenly, the space turned into night.

Under the pitch-black night sky, the Azure-Scaled Dragon Python lay Jingjing beside Xiao Qing, as if still waiting for her to awaken.

At midnight, Mutation Tier happened.

Xiao Qing suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils disappeared, her face was ashen, and saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth.

She staggered to her feet and lunged at the dragon-like python that Protection her.

At the same moment, corpses from all over the village rose up and swarmed towards the dragon-python like a tide.

Zhang Mingzhen understood: the toxins of the Corpse Demon had turned all the dead into walking corpses.

The Azure-Scaled Dragon Python let out a mournful cry, spread its wings and took flight, circling several times above the village before finally disappearing into the darkness in the distance.

The moment it departed, the entire Illusion Realm began to crumble.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Mingzhen was back in front of the stone tablet at the entrance of the Desolate Village.

He steadied himself and stepped back into the village—this time, it was a true ruin.

Following my memory toward Xiao Qing's house, I heard tearing sounds even before I got close.

Through the broken courtyard wall, one could see a group of zombies devouring several clothed bodies, seemingly travelers who had wandered into this place earlier.

The walkers spotted him and lunged at him, howling.

As Zhang Mingzhen fought and retreated, he could vaguely make out that the rotting faces were the villagers he had seen in the Illusion Realm.

These zombies are clearly of a higher level than their counterparts wandering in the mist—likely due to being fed for a long time.

After clearing out the horde of corpses, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from high above.

A huge shadow fell:

[Azure-Scaled Dragon Python (Mature) (Tamerable)]

[Constitution: 1365]

[Strength: 757]

[Intelligence: 1068]

[Agility: 1159]

[Talent: Protect Master, inheritance percentage increased to 50%, lasts 3 hours, cooldown unchanged.]

This adult dragon-python's attributes are approaching those of Zhang Mingzhen himself.

Its golden eyes burned with the flames of vengeance, and its sharp claws tore through the air as it attacked—clearly regarding Zhang Mingzhen as an enemy who had slaughtered his own kind.

But it soon became unusable.

Despite its formidable attributes, it lacked combat skills. Under Zhang Mingzhen's relentless attacks, this dragon-python gradually succumbed and its health was on the verge of collapse.

"It's about to fall over but can't be tamed? Do I need a magic formula?"

Why is there no prompt or notification on the system interface?

As Zhang Mingzhen puzzled, a petite walking corpse slowly emerged from the dilapidated doorway.

That's Xiao Qing.

"No... don't do it... don't kill my baby..."

Its body was contorting, and the surrounding mist was rapidly pouring into it.

Clearly, this zombie is evolving.

Zhang Mingzhen to take action when he finally heard the system notification: "Taming mission in progress..."

At this time, Xiao Qing's evolution gradually approached the critical point.

If he accumulates more power, he may break through to the Silver or even Golden Tier lord.

Meanwhile, the Azure-Scaled Dragon Python beside it coiled and twisted uneasily.

Zhang Mingzhen sensed that the girl's remaining consciousness was resisting—her rank advancement had awakened some of her memories, making her unwilling to become a monster that only knew how to kill.

"Kill me, kill me." Xiao Qing's eyes were fixed on Zhang Mingzhen.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingzhen answered without hesitation; in his view, this was merely a task.

Sympathy aside, it's impossible to give up a top-notch pet.

He raised his hand and conjured a burst of light, which, amidst the mournful hiss of the Azure-Scaled Dragon Python, turned the defenseless Xiao Qing into scattered starlight.

The system announcement immediately resounded throughout the entire domain:

Player 'Chongxing' has successfully opened the entrance to the Desolate Village Secret Realm. A new zombie-type monster encyclopedia has been added, and the pet taming function has been fully unlocked.

"Bonus reward: 1 fragment of an antidote recipe, +200 achievement points"

"Thanks to the pet system! The Chongxing -Cheater never disappoints! My dream of having a mount can finally come true!"

"Don't rush into dreaming yet. How many monsters in this game are so good-looking? Even the Rotclaw Rat looks honest after looking at it for a long time."

"I don't need dragons or phoenixes, just give me something with wings. I want to see the scenery of the sky."

"Any professional pet hunting teams willing to take orders? High price offered for people to scan maps and find rare Warcraft!"

"Strength doesn't matter, the appearance has to be eye-catching!"

"Hold your pets for now. Who released the coordinates of the Desolate Village? How do you activate the Teleportation Array?"

"We suggest waiting for news from the strategy team."

"Just look at the rankings to see where Chongxing can go; we can't go anywhere..."

As the announcement appeared, Zhang Mingzhen turned to the dying Azure-Scaled Dragon Python: "Choose—surrender, or die. My patience is limited."

The giant python looked at the empty space where Xiao Qing had disappeared, and finally lowered its ferocious head.

In the end, survival prevailed over emotions.

A system notification popped up. "The Azure-Scaled Dragon Python requests to sign a soul contract. Do you accept?"

"Confirm."

Another announcement: "Congratulations to player 'Chongxing' for obtaining the first contracted beast 'Azure-Scaled Dragon Python'! The Pet Ranking List is now officially open."

Jealousy can completely change a person...

"He's currently the only one on the leaderboard Cheater, but there's no need to guess; he'll definitely be at the top."

"Dragon-type creatures must have the ability to fly, right? If they can fly... could they also be used as mounts? I don't dare to think about it too much..."

Zhang Mingzhen glanced at the empty pet list—sure enough, it was just him.

However, he believes that with the players' enthusiasm and the generosity of many big spenders, the list will be full in just a few days.

Having an extra battle pet to assist you will make survival in the wild much easier.

He opened his backpack, and the incomplete antidote recipe was a timely help.

The corpse poison permeating the Desolate Village should not be underestimated; sufficient antidotes must be prepared for future in-depth exploration.

After studying the recipe, he discovered that most of the ingredients could be purchased at the town's pharmacy, and the few rare ingredients could be obtained through auctions.

A rough estimate puts the cost at about fifty Copper Coins per dose.

Zhang Mingzhen first made a set for his own use, planning to wait until the main force arrived at the Desolate Village and encountered the zombie poison before cooperating with the Dragon Diagram Guild to have them release it to the market in bulk—this was undoubtedly a sure-fire way to make money.

He certainly didn't have time to make them all.

However, one can reap the benefits while also repaying the favor of the other party who saved them.

Although he didn't need the other party to save him, he was instinctively frightened by the knife.

The double experience period is still ongoing.

He took the antidote and headed straight for the misty, deserted Desolate Village.

After completing the preliminary tasks, although the fog in the village was thick, the visibility was much clearer than before.

The zombies in the village are three or four levels higher than those in the wild, making it a perfect place to level up.

The former villagers have now become recurring monsters, silently wandering among the ruins.

At this moment, the world channel is buzzing with excitement.

Players without gaming pods were determined to endure three days of hardship, while teams with advanced equipment raced against time.

"Big Head, keep an eye out for tamable targets when you're clearing the wolf area! I want to raise Frostclaw Gray Wolf!"

A Fixed Team is occupying the wolf pack's habitat—an area they paid a hefty sum to hire Gold Farming Team to clear and control in advance, otherwise it would have been overwhelmed by the surging crowds long ago.

"Trainable markers are extremely rare."

"The ones we've found so far are either weak creatures like Spotted Rat or creepy, ugly things like zombies, which are completely unsuitable as pets."

"In comparison, the wolf is practically majestic and handsome." The "Qingtian Wawa" still felt lingering fear when she thought of zombies.

"The allocation order should be agreed upon beforehand—whoever finds a tamable target and attempts to form a contract, regardless of success or failure, will have their next opportunity passed on to the next person."

After the pet system was activated, everyone quickly discovered that the success rate of taming was not high.

Moreover, each person only has one chance to try per day, and there has only been one successful case on the forum so far—that player tamed an ugly zombie in the maze, and it is unknown whether he was able to get used to it every day.

This isn't a 2D Heroes of Might and Magic game; it's a realistic simulation.

Many players are hoping to acquire defensive companions.

Mages, in particular, desperately need the support of those who can withstand attacks from the front lines.

"Let's start with Qingtian, then Big Head, Doll, and Hou Yi, and I'll stay last." At this moment, "Black Sheep" in the team gave the opportunity to his teammate.

"Alright, I hope everyone can improve today."

At this moment, Zhang Mingzhen also fed the Azure-Scaled Dragon Python the antidote, allowing it to join the battle.

Pets acquired by players that are in their infancy can provide almost no damage output and can only grow by sharing experience with their owners.

However, mature pets no longer need experience to grow and can truly become powerful allies in battle.

This also explains why most people tend to tame high-level wild monsters—individuals of higher levels within the same species often have greater growth potential.

The Azure-Scaled Dragon Python, a top-tier Warcraft, was already mature when it was subdued, possessing considerable combat power.

After Zhang Mingzhen selected the "Ling Yue" skill to inherit for it, he sent it to the other side of the village to clear monsters on its own, without interfering further.

Although this Desolate Village area is not as rich as other areas, fortunately, he is currently the only one who can level up here.

He was cleaning inside the village, while the Azure-Scaled Dragon Python was fighting outside, its experience points rapidly increasing every second.

Players in Zone 3 have been busy grinding monsters or searching for wilderness areas for the past three days.

Players from other game sections could only watch their progress with envy and jealousy on the forums.

Why don't we have Cheater?

Some regions that are ahead in the game have already begun preparing for the pre-siege missions in Warcraft.

Seeing the success of the District 3, they plan to emulate its massive manpower tactics and try to activate the Warcraft siege event.
