Similarities Between Two Worlds, Gao Linzhi's Gaze

Ultimately, the Hero Alliance came to an end.

Ultimately, it's because the boss didn't spend enough money and didn't hire enough skilled individual players.

The game is still in its early stages, and some elite solo players, as well as lucky solo players, can still occupy the top positions.

Since the game doesn't have a direct way to recharge, if you want spending money to have any effect, you need to slowly buy enough high-level equipment and have your character leveled up to a certain level before you can show its power.

Unlike those pay-to-win mobile games, where if you spend all your money on the first day, you'll reach a level and stats that even casual players couldn't achieve in a hundred years.

That's just how outrageous it is.

Balance doesn't exist; balance only exists in non-pay-to-win games.

In the current God's Domain, no matter how much money you spend, you can only get a slight lead, mainly because equipment is too scarce; even if you have money, there's nowhere to buy it.

In the chat channel.

The atmosphere was electric.

"Damn it, we actually lost!"

"We haven't spent as much money as others. I heard that Century Imperial City across the street has spent a billion!"

"Damn, our boss only cares about his own enjoyment and doesn't even invest any money in the guild to hire skilled players. Let's go!"

"Quit, quit!"

"Damn it, what kind of crappy War Alliance? I'm leaving!"

A group of people were shouting to leave the alliance.

Of course, there were also people there encouraging them:

"Don't panic, everyone. The big boss will be investing again soon."

"Our War Alliance will definitely make a comeback, and next time we'll teach Century Imperial City a lesson! We'll remember this!"

"Ridiculous. They have money to upgrade their own equipment, but no money to hire skilled players?"

"Yes, if we had Chongxing Cheater, would this have happened?"

"Quit the membership, quit the membership!"

The first Guild League held by the God's Domain Game ignited the passion of many players.

The final winners were not determined until after 11 p. m.

The top five guilds in this guild war rankings are as follows:

First place: Century Imperial City, 5 points.

Second place: Third Legion, 3 points.

"Third: Dragon Map Guild, 2 points."

Fourth: Hero Alliance, 2 points.

Fifth: Unparalleled, 1 point.

The competition for the championship was particularly fierce.

As a highly disciplined team, the Third Legion demonstrated a high degree of coordination and execution throughout the battle. Their fierce offensives and well-organized formations impressed the spectators with their fearless fighting spirit.

The problem is that it's too rigid, lacking creativity and individual strength.

Since the individual combat strength of the members was generally slightly inferior to that of Century Imperial City, they ultimately lost by a narrow margin, which was regrettable.

However, upon closer inspection, it seems perfectly reasonable.

After all, this is a high-tech game, unlike real-life games where lives are at stake.

High-level players don't buy into that; they won't work if they don't get paid.

"It's said that Century Imperial City invested heavily in this championship, not only purchasing high-end equipment for all members but also hiring Gold Farming Team to grind monsters day and night. No wonder their combat power is so formidable."

"Our War Alliance was also unlucky. First, we were ambushed by Century Imperial City, and then we were blocked by the Unparalleled and Death God Guilds. In the end, we could only rank fourth."

"When it comes to luck, who can compare to our Imperial Pavilion? We didn't even make it to the semi-finals, suffering two consecutive defeats, and both against strong opponents."

"Luck itself is also a part of strength. If you don't have enough strength, you won't have good luck!"

"Our small guild is unlikely to have a chance of promotion in the short term. Perhaps we can find some opportunities after the larger guilds upgrade one by one."

While grinding monsters in the wild, Zhang Mingzhen also kept an eye on the progress of the guild war.

He had originally thought that forces with official backing like the Third Legion would be able to win the battle, but now it seems that relying solely on the resources of a few war zones is still insufficient to fully contend with large corporations.

He knew that this was because the higher-ups hadn't made a decision to invest heavily.

We still want to see how things develop, and let private capital test the waters first to avoid making the wrong decision.

This is normal; after all, one sum of money belongs to oneself, and the other to the higher-ups, making it less convenient to use.

For example, if an individual tycoon buys a piece of equipment, they can spend it as they please, but the Third Legion needs a budget, and anything exceeding the budget requires approval.

By the time the approval came through, it was too late.

However, if you don't do that, because the money isn't your own, you might spend it recklessly, and without control, it's easy to end up spending like "Great Ming 1566" every year.

Having accumulated enough experience for the day, Zhang Mingzhen decided to quit the game and take a short break.

A gaming pod can never replace real sleep.

The next morning, he planned to hire a chef to prepare breakfast for him.

Once upon a time, hiring a private chef to cook exclusively for him was still a distant fantasy.

After all, he is disabled in both legs, and if he comes into close contact with someone, he could easily be taken advantage of.

These days, countless wealthy people are ruined by being exploited and left with nothing.

But now, thanks to the changes brought about by the God's Domain, his legs have recovered their health.

Even his body became much stronger.

In this way, he wouldn't have to worry about anyone easily plotting against him, and his life would become much more convenient.

Many people actually harbor evil within them, but are simply restrained by order and law.

He turned on the large-screen TV, and after struggling to open a series of apps, he browsed the recent news, which was almost entirely about "superpowered people".

"This station reports: Nowadays, a group of people with extraordinary abilities have emerged in various countries. Scholars collectively refer to them as 'superpowered individuals.'"

"Among them, some can move at high speeds, leaping between city buildings as if flying; some can scale walls and scale walls, defying the laws of gravity, falling from great heights unharmed."

"Some people possess incredible strength, capable of lifting a car with their bare hands; others can manipulate flames and perform magical feats..."

"Various regions have officially named them 'Superpowered Individuals,' and confirmed that these abilities all originate from the game <God's Domain>."

"Currently, relevant departments are making every effort to register the information of all capable individuals. It is very likely that a systematic ability assessment and recording will be conducted for the entire population nationwide next."

"Regarding the inquiry into personal information, the matter has been transferred to the confidential department for processing, and the relevant information is being kept confidential in accordance with regulations."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Mingzhen was immediately startled.

It seems that, without anyone noticing, others have also developed various extraordinary abilities.

He wasn't the only one using cheat codes.

Zhang Mingzhen, then drew the curtains in the spacious villa bedroom and summoned a spiritual creature, which was his clone, "Flower Spirit".

With this clone, one can safely explore many secrets of the real world.

He can now use almost all the skills in the game, and players like him who release special abilities by improving their physical attributes are gradually emerging.

After thinking about it, is it possible to use the Resurrection Skill?

His gaze fell upon a stray cat passing by...

There are stray cats in the villa area, so it seems the property management isn't entirely attentive.

However, this is normal; Dragon Han's property management system is truly a mess.

Even if you pay a lot of money, you may not get good service.

A superhuman...?

It probably won't be long before everyone inherits the skill system of their respective Game Character, at which point a new social division of labor can be carried out according to the professional system.

Of course, those with greater strength are destined to be unable to tolerate the previous contempt.

The practice of offering toasts and kneeling like dogs will likely be reversed once again.

Just like Huang Chao back then.

Zhang Mingzhen had already foreseen the great changes that the Dragon Han, and even the entire world, was about to face.

At this moment, the television screen switched to the next news item. "Recently, an illegal group of people with supernatural abilities has emerged. This organization recruits members widely by demonstrating special abilities, seriously disrupting social stability and order."

"They call themselves 'New Humans,' and all members are gamers with supernatural abilities."

"Large-scale gatherings of such individuals with supernatural abilities pose a serious threat to social governance, and relevant departments are making every effort to track them down."

The emergence of special abilities is indeed significantly impacting the existing social order.

When individual power becomes sufficient to counterbalance previous power, the traditional system begins to crumble.

He naturally had no idea that this was exactly what Gao Linzhi wanted to see.

His ultimate goal is to use a new system to disrupt the Earth and seize its World Source.

All other branches should revolve around this service.

The news report continued, "Recent violent incidents have been linked to individuals with superpowers. This station will continue to monitor how to define the social roles of Newtypes and those with superpowers."

The news anchor's voice rang out indoors.

Zhang Mingzhen is actually a neutral party.

He had no intention of getting involved in the conflicts between people with superpowers, and he would ignore them as long as they did not endanger his own safety.

However, this also reveals his naivety and innocence: in the tide of the new era, choosing neutrality means choosing to be an enemy of everyone.

Unless you have no power to choose, like an ordinary citizen, no one cares about your choices because any force can easily crush you.

However, when you are in a position of Powerful, you are forced to make choices.

Unless you have the power to crush all other forces.

It is clear that although Zhang Mingzhen is very powerful in the game due to his cheat-like abilities, he is still no match for many major forces in reality.

At the very least, he doesn't have a true resurrection ability, nor can he withstand weapons like artillery shells and giant mushrooms.

Some people always bring up hiding in the city, but the truth is that if you pose a sufficient threat, the city is not your natural shield.

Haven't we had enough news of so many cities being bombed?

This is just a war between ordinary humans.

At this very moment.

A secret base, inside a heavily fortified, NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) protected underground facility 130 meters deep.

The top leadership of Dragon Han is holding a top-secret meeting regarding the group of people with superpowers.

"There are currently over ten thousand registered superhumans, most of whom are high-level players in the game," a secretary said. "It seems there's a positive correlation between ability awakening and character level."

The Second Elder spoke up, "These players have repeatedly caused social incidents after gaining abilities, demonstrating a serious lack of responsibility."

"I suggest implementing strict control measures, and if necessary, centralized management. Anyone whose level exceeds a certain threshold should be recruited to a designated location and, within a specified time, clearly explain their special ability."

"This plan is absolutely unfeasible," the Fourth Elder immediately objected.

"The number of people with superpowers will continue to grow, and in the future, it is very likely that a situation will emerge where everyone has superpowers."

"The Second Elder's ideas are still outdated; he wants to control and suppress everything. This is an outdated way of thinking that is prone to causing conflict."

"At this stage, excessive suppression of them will only push them toward confrontation, such as the recently emerged 'Thorn Bramble' organization."

"They put up a banner saying they wanted to protect the players with superpowers and prevent them from being harmed."

"If we take coercive measures, we will only push these powerful new forces to the enemy."

The Fourth Elder's words resonated with many.

After all, things are different now than they were in the past.

Everyone knows that providing excellent service is the best way to win people's hearts.

Rather than simple management and suppression.

The conclusions of various experts, think tanks, and AI simulations are laid out there.

Not to mention, powerful and established forces such as Ying Kingdom and Mai Kingdom are also watching closely from the sidelines.

If you suppress others here, they can simply leave.

Especially for those with superpowers, walking is very convenient.

They are physically strong and can easily cross mountains.

Gao Linzhi was also watching the meeting at this moment.

He was very interested in this.

Because this moment is just like that moment back then.

The way these elders think is essentially the same as the way Company Executive think in his world, Blue Star.

Some advocate for severity, belonging to the hawks; others advocate for moderation, belonging to the doves; and of course, many more are simply fence-sitters, siding with whichever side is stronger.

He watched the exchange of words with great interest, analyzing their thought processes and decisions.

At this moment, the Third Elder spoke up, "Speaking of that Thorn Bramble, how exactly did it develop to such a scale? The Supervisory Department has seriously neglected its duties."

"I propose a thorough investigation of the relevant systems, as this organization has very likely infiltrated our ranks."

"That's certainly a possibility. Players have all sorts of abilities, and if it's a mental ability, then it's impossible to defend against."

"Yes, if someone possesses the bewitching skills from the game, it's easy for them to infiltrate the core departments. Otherwise, it's hard to explain their rapid expansion. I suggest starting with Capital and thoroughly investigating each department." The Second Elder said sternly, "This is precisely the reason I proposed strict management."

"Because you never know when a superpower that can change the existing order might appear."

"If we don't manage things strictly, are we going to wait until destruction comes before we regret it?"

I second that.

"The growth of the Thorn Bramble bush must be curbed."

"We should proactively disclose the inside story of the 'God's Domain' game to the public, making them understand the enormous danger of uncontrolled and unrestrained superpowered individuals, and thus gain control of public opinion through ordinary citizens."

Upon hearing this, many people shifted their stance and began to lean towards the hawkish Second Elder.

Even the Fourth Elder, a dove, was speechless for a moment.

"Thorn Bramble" is a newly formed organization born from the "God's Domain," and its members are mostly people with supernatural abilities.

With the motto "New Era, New Humanity," they secretly moved their headquarters to Xiang City.

To maintain secrecy, the organization regularly relocates its base.

Their goal was clear: to seize power.

Similar organizations exist on Blue Star.

However, because the large corporations of Blue Star World had made advance arrangements, and the Skyfall Game System did not manage this at all, the large corporations gained a huge advantage in advance.

After Gao Linzhi entered the game, the core gameplay was somewhat repaired before additional protection was provided for Rogue Players.

This gradually changed the situation.
