The Terrifying Mr. Zhang Mingzhen's Pet Appears in Reality

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingzhen had an idea and tried to bring up the attribute panel in the game, but the interface did not appear as in the game.

But he had a vague premonition—it was simply a matter of time.

He was certain that the game interface would be activated in reality sooner or later.

That's true— Gao Linzhi's best way to seize the Source Energy of the Earth is to have games invade reality.

Projecting the Game System into the real world.

Of course, he wouldn't give these people Mysterious Energy; he would only give them physical strength based on technology.

Just like Zhang Mingzhen's current body repair and enhancement... these are all things that future technology can achieve.

All that's needed is to make changes at the cellular and genetic levels.

Increase muscle density, increase bone density, increase skin density, and increase the stratum corneum, similar to elephant skin.

To accomplish these things, the Skyfall Game AI only needs to mobilize ordinary technological power in the Earth world; it does not require Source Energy or the consumption of Mysterious Energy.

Gao Linzhi has already secured his place Chess Player.

While these people were still gloating over the attributes on the data panel, they didn't know that these were just permissions that Gao Linzhi casually adjusted.

Then Zhang Mingzhen tried to summon his battle pet.

In the blink of an eye, a creature with a mix of blue and black, resembling both a dragon and a lizard, actually appeared in the middle of the living room!

That was Azure-Scaled Dragon Python.

The Warcraft was clearly not yet adapted to the real environment and appeared somewhat restless, crawling back and forth in the hall.

"Sure enough, things from games are gradually seeping into reality."

Zhang Mingzhen muttered to himself, "If things continue like this, there's no guarantee that a monster won't appear in reality someday."

"But it's too late to persuade everyone to leave the game now, and no one can stop this torrent."

"Even with official intervention, it would be very difficult to achieve this."

"After all, if you ban it and the Westerners don't, in the end there will be no way to fight back, and it will be another Eight-Nation Alliance era."

He wasn't entirely alarmed by this dramatic change—he had a premonition of it the moment he stood up again.

"I'm aware of this obvious change, but there must be other astute individuals who noticed it even earlier."

"The higher-ups must have already made a decision."

Yes, under normal circumstances, in the face of such a huge crisis, at least some places around the world would take drastic measures to prevent players from logging into the game again.

Unfortunately, Gao Linzhi had already disguised himself as an alien force and warned these official forces.

So they were helpless.

Nobody wants to risk offending aliens by simply banning people from playing games.

This is something Zhang Mingzhen was unaware of.

Just as Zhang Mingzhen had predicted, the players in the Dragon Kingdom's third region were generally of a higher level.

Some perceptive players have already noticed that their physical bodies are changing day by day.

Meanwhile, the authorities are conducting multiple rounds of testing on this.

The game has now begun to penetrate into reality.

Inside a secure underground laboratory, hundreds of players are undergoing various tests.

"After repeated testing, it has been confirmed that when Game Character levels up, their attributes are proportionally reflected in their real-world physical body."

"Their strength, nerve reaction speed, and skin hardness have all increased to varying degrees," a researcher in a white coat reported to the person in charge.

"This God's Domain Game is indeed extraordinary. Could it really be an alien creation?"

"Whether this is a blessing or a curse for Earth is unknown," the person in charge thought, reflecting on the information he had received earlier.

The God's Domain Game was left on Earth by a visitor from a higher civilization, solely for their entertainment.

In other words, the entire massive God's Domain Game is actually a single-player game. The only real player is that alien, while all the other humans are NPCs—free, highly intelligent NPCs capable of providing emotional value.

Of course, many people didn't believe this at first; they were more inclined to believe that a local person had obtained the system and gained superpowers.

After all, behind-the-scenes stories are so popular right now, so people will more or less speculate in that direction.

After all, compared to aliens, our own people are easier to understand, deal with, and control.

Little did they know, the truth was far more terrifying than aliens.

That's from outer space, from another world, even more alien than aliens!

The person in charge said in a deep voice, "Now that we know this game is special, our top priority is to accelerate the leveling up of players nationwide."

"We need to find that gentleman in the game, and ideally build a bond with him. Through relationships like brotherhood or romance, we can try to extract his true information..."

That gentleman was, of course, their pronoun referring to Gao Linzhi, the mysterious figure behind the scenes.

"We have top-notch psychologists and social engineering experts who have provided countless solutions, all of which can be used."

It must be said that the professionalism of major players is beyond question.

Of course, this is based on the premise that they take it seriously.

They explored cautiously, yet dared not cross the "alien's bottom line."

Therefore, they can only use the mildest methods.

If Gao Linzhi were truly an ordinary, somewhat dim-witted local, possessing this ability, he might very well, due to various inexplicable thoughts, hand it over to the organization, or expose it to his wife, brothers, or lover, leading to the classic Regret Routine, betrayal, and being cuckolded.

However, Gao Linzhi.

He wasn't one of those foolish, naive, and immature people whose heads were muddled and full of mush, unable to understand or see the situation and the truth of the world.

He is a time traveler who has survived numerous chases and escaped from the most difficult circumstances by using his special abilities.

Therefore, he would never expose himself, nor would he cooperate with these people.

They can only serve as slightly higher-ranking pawns!

At this point, the person in charge continued:

"The Warcraft siege event must be successfully completed; we must not repeat the mistakes of the Ying Kingdom District 42 —their player development was hampered by the loss of town protection, and the entire district fell behind."

However, currently, most players are below level 20.

Another researcher suggested, "Inviting top-ranked players to participate in the test might yield more data, especially the top ten."

"No." The person in charge, named Lu Zheng, immediately rejected the idea. "The leaders of each guild have powerful backgrounds and may not be obedient to orders."

"Even if we obey, the impact would be too great, and it would easily attract that gentleman's attention."

"Similarly, although the top-ranked 'Chongxing' is no longer elusive, his true identity has already been exposed."

"But he often covers his face and conceals his identity, presumably because he doesn't want to be interfered with by the outside world."

"Such a person must be within that gentleman's sights."

"Just like when you play Single Player Game, you'll definitely pay attention to the important NPCs, right? You can ignore the NPCs on the street."

"There's no need to bring this up again, lest it cause further complications."

Everyone nodded.

Actually, they had thought of this too, but they said it so that Director Ling could show off...

"Therefore, at this time, we must maintain the stability of high-combat-power players in order to ensure the balance within the Dragon Kingdom game, and we should not take radical measures."

"Report!" Another messenger appeared, interrupting the discussion. "Sir, the joint meeting is about to begin."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Lu Zheng had already anticipated the main theme of this meeting—the fact that games could enhance one's physical strength was no secret among the higher-ups.

He quickly arrived at a secret meeting room.

Inside the meeting room, all the top executives of the major official guilds were present, while some other high-ranking members were participating remotely via video link.

"Leadership, now that we've recognized the importance of the God's Domain, we should focus all our efforts on leveling up."

"I suggest we concentrate our resources on conquering the Warcraft siege mission. Our Ninth District is willing to be the vanguard." The leader of the Sixty-Seventh Military Guild spoke first.

"I think the cost of failing to defend the city is too high, and the risk-reward ratio is unbalanced," another military guild leader offered a different opinion. "Perhaps we should consider abandoning the preliminary missions and focusing on leveling up in the wilderness."

Lu Zheng raised his hand to stop the escalating argument, and the meeting room fell silent for a moment.

"Everyone, the rewards for the city defense mission are crucial to the future of all players; there's no doubt about that."

His voice was steady, yet carried an unquestionable tone.

"But that's precisely why we can't be hasty."

"The lesson of District 42 is right before our eyes. Without thorough preparation, rashly launching it would be tantamount to collective suicide."

"We cannot afford a second failure."

He glanced around at the leaders of the various military guilds present, many of whom looked anxious.

"I understand your strong desire to improve your skills."

"The connection between this game and the real world is becoming increasingly apparent; we must race against time."

"But brute force won't solve the problem."

"And it would also easily attract that gentleman's attention."

Lu Zheng revealed his plans. "The strategy department and exploration department are fully mobilized. Their goal is to understand all the current game mechanics, discover hidden Secret Realm, and search for items that can bring about qualitative changes... especially key items that can be transferred across regions and teleported."

"Cross-region items?" someone immediately realized. "You mean you want to ask 'Chongxing' to come and help?"

"This is the safest solution we can think of right now."

Lu Zheng readily admitted, "The battle in District Three has proven that individual strength is enough to turn the tide of battle in certain extreme situations."

"Chongxing is such a special case."

"To deny his role is tantamount to self-deception."

"As long as we treat him with normal gaming tactics, I believe that gentleman won't care."

"Unless we break the game's fairness and use offline methods to deal with him."

Mentioning that name filled the meeting room with complex emotions.

During the decisive battle in the three districts, the figure who single-handedly confronted four district leaders has already been deeply etched into everyone's hearts through the battle records.

That's not just powerful, it's a power that completely overturns common sense.

"Is his talent... really only S-rank?"

Someone was muttering to themselves in the corner, their words filled with disbelief.

At that moment, a voice joined the meeting via a remote device chimed in, its tone tinged with eagerness. "Should we try to Chongxing our position in reality?"

"If we could place him under official protection, it would not only ensure his safety but might also allow us to explore the origins of his power."

"This has immeasurable value to our overall strategy."

Lu Zheng's eyes sharpened instantly.

"No, absolutely not!"

"This proposal has already been rejected."

His tone was resolute. "The ability to Chongxing is enough to influence the overall course of the game."

"In that gentleman's eyes, such a person is an important NPC, possessing significant entertainment value."

"Since he has chosen to hide himself, forcing contact will only lead to unpredictable consequences."

"This will make that gentleman unhappy with us!"

"Until we've ascertained the opponent's true strength, everything must proceed with caution and stability!"

"Let's leave this topic at that."

He knew in his heart that ever since the secret of the game being able to reflect one's physical constitution in reality was gradually revealed, the thoughts of some people who had been lying low had begun to stir.

A healthy body, a strong physique, and even a longer lifespan... these benefits are enough to make many people lose their minds.

Greed is a primal human trait.

Even he was moved.

But he knew deeper secrets, which made him even more awe-inspiring.

Just think about how terrifying it would be to establish such a massive, realistic second simulated world on a global scale.

He even thought that this alien was the Singer from the Three-Body Problem.

The other party might be just a cleaner in their advanced civilization, but on Earth, they are God!

He was also a novel enthusiast, so he was very familiar with these science fiction ideas.

Although the vast majority of the content is fictional, its core is true.

He couldn't let the meeting veer off course any further.

So he insisted, "Our top priority right now is to find the transfer item at all costs."

"To be able to establish a normal and friendly gaming partner, gaming buddy, or gaming lover relationship with Chongxing!"

"Secondly, we will continue to explore other enhancement methods."

"Only when we have a strong enough chance of winning will we proactively launch Warcraft siege, thereby enabling players to achieve a new leap forward."

Lu Zheng made the final decision and then adjourned the meeting.

He needs to stop certain unrealistic ideas from taking hold.

Just as undercurrents were swirling in the meeting room, Zhang Mingzhen, the central figure in their conversation, awoke from his deep sleep.

After a quick wash, he headed to a high-end real estate sales center, intending to find himself another place to live.

This villa is currently rented.

He certainly wants to buy a house with his own property rights.

Only in this way can various modifications be made.

This includes adding protective measures, adding a basement, and increasing various intelligent security systems.

Yes, he still doesn't trust people.

I'd rather trust a smart machine that might have bugs.

After all, intelligent machines only harm people when they malfunction, while people are always thinking about harming others.

Inside the sales center.

The beautiful female consultant who greeted him had a polite smile and patiently inquired about his needs.

"Sir, what are your specific requirements regarding the accommodations in this property?"

"The place needs to be quiet; I don't like being disturbed, but the transportation can't be too congested either."

"There are no restrictions on price, but it would be best if it were a detached house, with its own entrance and separate from other houses," Zhang Mingzhen listed his requirements.

He needs to avoid crowds, whether he's trying out skills or dealing with some "special" private matters, and he doesn't want any bystanders.

What's more, it's becoming increasingly difficult to settle the "new tenant" in the house.

The Azure-Scaled Dragon Python was initially somewhat unaccustomed to being released by him.

Now, however, it has completely taken Earth as its new home, not only Abundant but also craving a good appetite—most of the delicious steak that Zhang Mingzhen ordered has ended up in this big guy's belly.
