Monster Invasion, System Code Beyond Gao Linzhi's Expectations
"Dragon Diagram Frenzy" felt a surge of excitement at the thought of soon having an air combat team.
"Um... a few Priest might not be enough."
"I had already tried before coming here. Even with me and several other Priest continuously treating it, we could only slightly accelerate the egg's activity growth."
"To fully hatch, we'll probably need more Priest."
"Clucking Chicken" is also unsure about this.
"Then let Tengchong transfer all the Priest with clear backgrounds and who are trustworthy to the incubation room."
"If that's still not enough, bring in more people, but keep it a secret!"
"Dragon Diagram Frenzy" immediately gave the order.
After repeated verification, it was finally discovered that three hundred Priest were needed to simultaneously treat the eggs in order to successfully hatch the vulture eggs.
This relieved Dragon Diagram Frenzy.
If we can just use a bunch of people, that will do. When he heard that Priest was needed, he thought that some kind of "world will" was at work and that only that Cheater could help.
That would come at a great cost.
To be honest, as a high-ranking Celestial Dragon, who would enjoy bowing down to a lucky commoner every day? The feeling of begging for favors is not pleasant.
Unfortunately, the other party was just lucky.
There's no way around it.
His concerns were not unfounded.
After all, sometimes quantity alone is not enough. Just like in quantum mechanics, the wave frequency must be high in order to eject electrons from the metal.
If the frequency is insufficient, no matter how long the wave is fired, it will be useless.
Now that's convenient, all he needs to do is amass manpower, so what is there to worry about?
Dragon Han may not have much else, but it has a lot of people!
If you won't do it, plenty of others will!
So, after mobilizing a large number of Priest and hiring some substitute Priest, he used 500 people instead of the required 300.
The whole process took a whole day to hatch more than a hundred eggs, during which the Priest had to take turns resting to recover their magic power.
"Bloodthirsty Vulture (Juvenile Stage)"
Intelligence: 29
Physical Defense: 38
Spell Resistance: 47
"Skill - Blood Rain: Unleashes a Blood Rain spell that inflicts a slight healing reduction effect, decreasing the target's healing received by 40%."
These attributes are already quite outstanding.
The "Blood Rain" skill is even more valuable, as it is clearly a PVP skill.
It can provide a significant advantage in player-versus-player battles.
Even in childhood, its healing effect can be weakened by 40%, and its power will be even more astonishing once it is fully mature.
It's likely that treatment could be banned outright.
This healing-blocking effect isn't very helpful for jungling, because monsters rarely have healing abilities.
Of course, many bosses have self-healing abilities, so this can be useful.
However, in player-versus-player combat, there is almost always a healer.
"Guild Master! Please grant me a vulture! The success rate of taming young Warcraft is very high, so I can also experience the thrill of soaring through the skies!"
"I want one too! Guild Master, I've made great contributions to the guild, please let me join the aerial squad!"
"Step back! We archers are the most suitable profession for aerial combat. Defeating enemies from a thousand miles away, the feeling is wonderful!"
"Yeah, an archer with a flying pet, isn't that just like the gryphon archer from Warcraft?"
And at this time...
A voice suddenly rang in some people's minds.
"Ding! Congratulations, player, you have successfully triggered the temporary trial mission, the Trial in the Sky."
"You will possess a flying Warcraft, which will require you to have extremely strong courage and exceptional reflexes."
"Enter the temporary Secret Realm for Aerial Encounter?"
"By clearing this temporary Secret Realm, you will receive two permanent buffs: Courage +3 and Reaction Speed +3."
"Effect: Grants immunity to medium-level fear buffs and increases reaction speed in both real life and the game."
Some Dragon Map players who received this tip were naturally overjoyed.
They were eager to share and boast about the task, but were told that it must not be leaked, or it would be automatically canceled.
They naturally wouldn't tell anyone.
The next moment, they disappeared.
The others weren't surprised, assuming their game time had expired and they had automatically logged off.
In reality, their consciousnesses were projected onto the Blue Star world by an AI script created by Gao Linzhi to carry out new missions.
Of course, for convenience, Gao Linzhi would erase their game memories from the Blue Star world.
In this way, one can become the perfect tool.
What they retain are memories of having had a serendipitous encounter and gaining certain benefits.
They would imagine that they obtained it in a God's Domain Game, but they wouldn't have much of a connection to the Blue Star world.
This is nothing more than a small trick for the Skyfall Game system.
Of course, even if they sensed something was wrong, it was of no use.
Because they lack Mystic System powers, they are unable to detect the existence of the Blue Star world.
And at this time...
Seeing the members' high spirits, Dragon Diagram Frenzy had no choice but to interrupt the boiling noise.
"I hereby announce to all guild members that we will be holding an internal martial arts competition, and members will be selected to be equipped with flying mounts based on their rankings."
"Due to its adaptability, the admission requirements for the archer profession can be appropriately relaxed."
This significant move by the "Dragon Diagram Guild" naturally attracted the attention of other guilds.
Upon learning that they had obtained a batch of flying Warcraft eggs and successfully hatched them for the use of their members, everyone was shocked and envious, and sent people to investigate the origin of these Warcraft eggs.
"Have you heard? The Dragon Diagram Guild is holding an internal martial arts competition, and the top-ranked players will win a flying Warcraft!"
"Damn, I'm going to apply to join right now!"
"Who doesn't know that those who fly are the noble ones?"
Related discussions have also emerged on the world channel.
"I know the details. It's a vulture-like Warcraft, and I heard it has a very high level and attributes!"
"This is so enviable! Where did they find these eggs?"
"Insider information reveals that they were discovered in a high-level Warcraft area, with over a hundred of them! It seems that realizing the dream of flying in this game is not impossible."
"Will the Dragon Diagram Guild be sold to the public? I'm sure many people would be willing to pay a high price for it."
"Impossible."
"Dragon Diagram Frenzy is not short of money. I wouldn't sell it either. It can only be a strategic resource within the guild."
As stated in the world chat, Dragon Diagram Frenzy will definitely not allow these vultures to fall into the hands of other guilds.
However, he was naturally unaware that while he thought this way, there was a mole within his own guild.
In order to obtain this flying Warcraft, some guild leaders decided to expose their undercover agents...
At this moment, his friend list was constantly flashing messages from other guild leaders, some hoping to obtain a vulture, and others inquiring about the source of the beast eggs.
He refused to reply to any of them—at least in the near future, he wanted to bring all the players in the God's Domain who possessed aerial combat capabilities under his command.
Of course, there is one special exception.
Xuancheng, a city in the Dragon Kingdom, is known as the "Capital of Sunsets by the Sea".
This is a peninsula city, with a peninsula area extending into the sea.
Therefore, there are many scenic spots for watching the sunset.
Every summer, it attracts a large number of tourists who come to enjoy the sunset and the sea breeze.
Perhaps due to the growing popularity of the God's Domain Game, there are far fewer tourists this year than in previous years.
In a town on the outskirts of the city, high school students are hurrying home in small groups after school.
"Hurry up, everyone follow! My dad just bought a game pod, it's the family version, and it hasn't been linked to any players yet, so everyone can go in and experience it."
"We need to hurry before he gets off work!"
A boy with a schoolbag on his back rushed ahead, followed by a group of classmates.
Some of them have already created characters in the God's Domain and, having heard that game pods are available, are eager to experience it.
As they passed a rice paddy, a rustling sound caught their attention.
Before they could even get close enough to investigate, they saw a group of large, dark rats emerge from the field.
With their scarlet eyes wide open and utterly unafraid, they darted past the high school students and headed straight for the sewers across the street.
An old man working in the fields was astonished by the sight. "These rats are really rampant nowadays; they're not even afraid of people anymore."
"And they're terrifyingly big. If it were before, I could have stomped one to death."
Another elderly woman picking wild vegetables also asked in bewilderment, "Normally on such hot days, you can't see any rats at all during the day."
"These past two days they've been running around day and night. Did you see that group just now? They were huge, practically demonic."
"Speaking of spirits, my son and grandson are both obsessed with games, and they keep saying that there are monsters that have become spirits everywhere in the games."
"My son even wants to quit his job, saying he can make money by playing games. I think he's lost his mind."
"I said, Wang Da, you're right. Just now someone asked this old man to play some game, saying that if I register an account, log in every day, and do some construction for their alliance, they'll give me a hundred catties of eggs a month."
"Do you deliver eggs? I'll have to go check it out."
The old lady might not know much else, but she certainly knew how to deliver eggs.
I weigh 100 pounds a month, that's 3 pounds a day, enough to eat as a meal!
Regardless of what the residents of the city were saying, life went on.
In a corner unnoticed by people, more and more shadowy figures quietly gathered along the underground passage, as if silently accumulating some kind of power.
These people, of course, were unaware that this was the beginning of the game's invasion of Earth.
To be honest, this was also somewhat beyond Gao Linzhi's expectations.
Gao Linzhi did not intend to turn Earth into an apocalyptic state; he merely wanted to acquire some pawns and seize a portion of the World Source.
It now appears that the stolen core Game System code evolved spontaneously and naturally accomplished the relevant tasks.
This Skyfall Game, instinctively invades the world it inhabits.
Gao Linzhi naturally had to keep a close eye on it.
In short, we can't let it affect our plans.
In the city.
On a street late at night, a hunched figure was trudging along.
He was an elderly scavenger who was prone to heatstroke during the day, so he often collected and sold recyclables along the road at night when it was cool.
Something was vaguely wriggling at the drain opening, and the old man shuffled closer to try and get a better look.
However, before he knew it, a dark shadow pounced on him—his neck, cheeks, legs, and almost his entire body were enveloped by the thing at the same time.
He only managed to squeeze out a short hiss from his throat before falling silent.
The shadowy mass writhed, dragging him little by little into the dark cave entrance.
Only a dark red stain remained on the ground.
Similar attacks are occurring quietly in various places.
News of various attacks continued to arrive sporadically.
Initially, it didn't attract much attention, mainly because everyone's attention was focused on superpowered individuals.
It wasn't until someone urgently presented a summary report at a high-level meeting that the upper echelons fully realized the situation was abnormal.
"Why did it take so long to report this? What exactly are the city officials doing!" The Great Elder's voice was stern and urgent. "Investigate all incidents immediately, starting with the very first case."
"Immediately dispatch large teams of experts to various locations. Exercise extreme caution, carefully analyze the cause of the accident, and avoid causing public panic."
The act of violence itself is troublesome enough, but what's even more unsettling is the potential for a larger crisis lurking behind it...
What if the aliens think the game is too easy and not exciting enough, and want to play a real-life game? That would be terrible.
Judging from the current situation, this is possible.
Zhong Dongxu is an ordinary high school student in Xuancheng. He usually lives at school and only goes home on weekends.
That Friday night, he had some barbecue with his classmates outside the school and walked home alone through the familiar alley.
He had walked this alley countless times and had never felt afraid, but that night he felt as if something was watching him from the shadows.
He quickened his pace; his home was just two hundred meters away.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow descended from above.
Finally, what came into his view was a leg covered in black hair, shaped like an insect's limbs but magnified several times.
Then came endless darkness.
"Ah!" A Wanderer witnessed this scene and ran away in fright.
The next day, missing person posters for the high school student were plastered all over the small town's bulletin boards.
The parents were terrified and called the police that very night.
However, surveillance was limited, and the only footage available was from highway surveillance showing him heading home on Friday night before disappearing into the alley.
Since then, the city has been shrouded in a silent tension.
Every household reminded their children not to go out after dark, and the streets were silent after eight o'clock, as if the entire city had been silenced.
It wasn't until a special investigation team arrived and analyzed the series of recent bizarre events that experts proposed an unverified hypothesis: some kind of abnormal creature may be lurking in the city, attacking humans.
This unusual creature is very likely related to the God's Domain Game.
It must be true.
After all, such a bizarre thing had never happened before the God's Domain Game appeared.
Even though many people have gone missing, those can all be explained.
The investigation team decided to use bait to trap the fish.
For two consecutive nights, people were sent to patrol the alley, and finally, on the second night, they saw the monster's true form.
It was an enlarged spider monster, larger than an elephant.
Because it's in an urban area, heavy firepower cannot be used.
The only option is to use a variety of heavy engineering equipment to encircle and intercept them.
Simultaneously using sniper rifles and armor-piercing rounds.
Finally, it was trapped inside a pile of concrete blocks.
The monster was then secretly loaded onto a specially made armored vehicle and transported to Capital under cover of darkness.
As soon as the special transport vehicle came to a stop in front of the "Kyoto Research Institute," the order came: send it directly to the Department of Biological Research.
Before the car door could even open, a piercing scratching sound suddenly came from inside the carriage.
Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, a spider leg, as hard as steel, pierced through the carriage wall panel, followed by a second one.
