Game and Reality Merge, the True Version of Game Invasion

"Looks like we need our teammates to help clear out the summons! Let's focus fire and see how much damage we can do!"

Lying on the ground, Jing He could clearly see that the two monsters were moving towards the player marked by the BOSS in sync, but their movement was extremely slow, clearly a window of opportunity reserved for the team to interrupt them.

"No! We don't have enough manpower; we can only take down one in time!"

The remaining team members used all their strength to eliminate the monster on the left, but the one on the right had already touched the body of the Shore Wave.

The instant the monster merged into his body, the health bars of all survivors on the field were instantly emptied, and a wipeout notification popped up.

"Both must be dealt with simultaneously! Otherwise, the entire team will be wiped out."

"But why am I always the one being marked? Is it because I'm Priest? Or is it a random selection?"

"Uncertain."

"Perhaps your hatred is too intense."

"Xuanyuan Yi has already fallen, and you're the only healer left on the field, so there's no comparison."

"You have to try a few times to figure out the pattern."

What followed was an endless cycle: sometimes falling to the initial offensive, sometimes crumbling under the terrifying damage after the Frenzy.

On multiple occasions, the entire team was wiped out because there were not enough people in the final stage to intercept the summoned creatures.

After multiple attempts failed to achieve a full team survival and clear the level, the team finally considered giving up.

Let's leave today's attempt here.

"This clearing of the land has taken too long, and everyone is exhausted. How about we come back next week?"

"By then, we will be stronger and have a better chance of success."

"That's good. I was just having a headache, probably because I'm running out of energy. My condition was affected in the dungeon earlier too."

"I'll go back to my lodgings later and rest for a while to recover."

"Yeah, since none of us are Cheater, let's call it a day."

"Seaside Wave, your place is so haphazardly furnished. Tathagata my place and I'll show you what a proper home looks like?" War Sky said disdainfully.

In the God's Domain, players can invite friends to their home to rest and recover their energy, at the cost of doubled maintenance fees.

Ordinary people can't afford to invite them.

But for these nouveau riche, it's naturally nothing.

However, many families have already gone bankrupt.

Because real-world assets have fallen sharply.

Fortunately, their level and influence are already among the top in the game, allowing them to support their families.

It's fair to say that this investment has been very profitable for them.

Those wealthy players who didn't convert their real-world funds into gaming power early on are now filled with regret.

"Sure, I'll go see what your house is like."

"Actually, as long as the accommodation is of a high enough standard, there's no need to worry about the appearance."

Seaside Wave is a practical person; he never gets interested in spending money and energy on things that don't affect his combat capabilities.

"Don't let my sister hear you say that, she'll definitely change your mind."

The Imperial Dynasty Defies Heaven felt this deeply.

The Little Princess truly doesn't understand the hardships of reality, just like those nobles at the end of dynasties, still indulging in wine and women in their luxurious homes.

Thus, this rather challenging Wolf Barbarians dungeon adventure came to an end.

Although I didn't successfully complete the game, I didn't gain nothing.

At least they figured out the general moves of the various leaders, paving the way for their next challenge.

As teams capable of dealing with the Wolf Barbarian Escape began to appear, more class-specific skill manuals began to appear in the District 3 and other regions.

The adventurers' strength was thus further enhanced.

At the same time, top adventurers have broken through the level 60 threshold and crossed the server rankings, with some even surpassing level 65.

Of course, Chongxing Cheater, unchallenged by anyone.

Many people are dissatisfied with this.

But there was nothing they could do.

They were also curious about what kind of cheat the other party had used, and tried to probe in every way, but the other party was neither a sycophant nor a target of PUA, and would not reveal anything at all.

Everyone could only speculate.

Some people have even resorted to various underhanded tactics, after all, there are many irrational private forces.

But neither of them succeeded.

Because Dragon Han and other forces that knew the game's background prevented them from entering.

They feared that the alien would discover these sordid things, leading to an immeasurable crisis.

At this time.

Everyone thought that Sunshine from the 77th District would seize the opportunity and rush to the top, but unexpectedly he only stopped at fifth place and stabilized his ranking. It seems that this opportunity has come to an end.

Unbeknownst to them, the Sunshine had always been traveling on an extraordinary path.

Before the Evil God went into slumber, he left him with plenty of double experience potions. If he consumed them all, even if he couldn't surpass Chongxing, it wouldn't be difficult for him to secure the second position.

However, the patrol team dispatched by headquarters earlier had already alerted him, making him hesitant to be too conspicuous.

The Evil God is currently in hibernation, and his mission is simply to help more of his followers level up, without attracting the attention of others.

Although he didn't understand whose gaze the Evil God feared, as a loyal Protection, he naturally had to prioritize the divine decree.

Therefore, he generously distributed most of the double potions to the higher-level players in Xuancheng.

This was impossible before.

But now, he has been completely bewitched by the Evil God.

Naturally, the interests of the Evil God will take precedence.

The level of people in Xuancheng is now vastly different from what it used to be; they are no less impressive than those in other renowned regions.

On the cross-server experience leaderboard, he only maintained fifth place.

After all, there are rewards for being in the top ten, and unless there are sufficient benefits, he doesn't plan to show off his skills anymore.

Cross-server experience ranking

"First Place: District 3 - Chongxing (Level 77)"

Second place: Qin Xiao Youhui (Level 66) from the District 3

Third place: Dragon Diagram Frenzy (Level 66) from the District 3

Fourth place: Raphael from the District 19 (Level 66)

Fifth place: District 77 - Sunshine (Level 65)

"Sixth Place: District 3 - Hero War Sky (Level 65)"

"Seventh place: District 1 - Pengpeng's Hair (Level 65)"

"Eighth Place: District 3 - Imperial Dynasty Defies Heaven (Level 65)"

"Ninth Place: District 19 - Shiyade (Level 65)"

"Tenth Place: District 17 - Guandong Quake (Level 65)"

As players' levels rise, especially in the top ten regions of the recent King of Glory competition, new regions are constantly emerging, with their experience points catching up with the third-tier regions. The previous situation where District 3 is quietly changing.

"The overall strength of the District 19 has improved significantly, especially in terms of experience accumulation, and it is almost catching up with the District 3."

"That's natural. The more experience you need for each level, the more leveled up everyone's experience will gradually become equal."

"The experience you gain to level up once is enough for someone else to gain five levels. They'll definitely be able to catch up to you."

"In the end, it all comes down to skills, equipment, execution, and most importantly, talent, as well as team size."

"Unfortunately, this game doesn't allow direct in-game purchases; players can only gain advantages through trading with other players."

"I wonder if there's an end to the levels in this God's Domain, and whether I'll be able to reach the same level as Chongxing in the future?"

You're overthinking it.

Even if they are of the same level, their strength may not be the same.

"Yes, just like in Warcraft, there are various level caps. If you really want to graduate, it still depends on your gear."

"Yes, the combat power ranking and the level ranking are completely different, which shows that level is not the only factor."

"The Chongxing values on the power rankings... Can any players from the District 3 tell me if that's normal?"

"It's one thing to be one digit below me, but how can they be several times smaller than the other top experts on the list! It's unbelievable!"

"I'm from District 3, and I can assure you definitively that it's true."

"Chongxing's strength cannot be judged by ordinary standards."

"Damn it, he's a cheater after all. Those damn game developers, why aren't they banning his account?"

"The planners don't have the authority to ban accounts; it's the operations team that controls the database, and the developers also have that authority."

The surrounding discussions among players did not cause anxiety among players in the District 3.

They have long since shifted their focus from blindly pursuing higher ranks to improving their overall strength.

Through repeated dungeon battles, they gradually realized that combat power was far more valuable than the increase in experience points.

After meeting the dungeon level requirements, they now prioritize combat power when forming teams, with level becoming a secondary criterion.

Forums have already analyzed this: as your level increases, the experience required increases exponentially; instead of spending time grinding monsters in the wild, it's better to focus on improving your own combat power—this is the real way to become stronger.

Perhaps soon, the entire God's Domain will enter an era where combat power reigns supreme.

This day.

God's Domain world.

The peaceful daily routine was disrupted by a sudden announcement.

Players across all regions received the system notification simultaneously, instantly causing a huge stir.

Server-wide announcement: "Game assimilation rate has exceeded 50%, Intense Battle Mode is now activated."

"Ten minutes later, all regions will enter the cross-regional integration phase, which is expected to last for twenty-four hours."

"During this period, all players will be forced offline."

"In the wild, equipment will be randomly dropped upon death."

"Actively initiating an attacker's cumulative kill count will affect experience gain efficiency."

"You can use your Training Tower points daily to exchange for items that clear kill points."

"(After dying five times, you will no longer lose experience or equipment, but you will be inflicted with a weakened healing status.)"

"Completing the daily Training Tower challenge will earn you varying amounts of points, which can be used to redeem various rewards."

"Territory battles will be held every two weeks, specifically from 8 PM to 10 PM on Sundays."

"The guild that occupies a designated city during the event will gain jurisdiction over that city for the next fourteen days at the end of the event; the guild will receive 5% of the city's revenue as dividends, members will enjoy a 20% discount on purchases in city shops, and their wilderness experience gain will be increased by 5%."

"(No equipment loss upon death during Territory War)"

As soon as the announcement was released, chat interfaces in all regions were instantly flooded with messages.

Players who were forcibly logged off flocked to the forums, and shock and questions swept through every corner like a tidal wave.

"There's so much information! My brain can't process it all! Does this mean there won't be any more regional divisions in the future?"

"It should be, it's like a large-scale server merge in a regular online game."

"Actually, it's just one big map, but many identical starting villages have been created."

"It's now a direct server-wide service."

"The cross-server auction house has been closed and will likely disappear completely in about 24 hours."

Is this a blessing or a curse for Ordinary Player?

"Perhaps it's a good thing; with more players, finding teams and forming groups should be easier."

"What's so great about it! If the wilderness is in full-on killing mode, who can Ordinary Player complain to if they get ambushed?"

"Is this forcing smaller guilds to disband? From now on, only large guilds will be able to guarantee the safety of their members."

"I think quite the opposite—smaller guilds might have a better chance of survival."

"Once Territory War and wilderness loot are introduced, large guilds will easily become targets, and there will likely be widespread conflict."

"Stop talking... I'm starting to panic."

"I can't lose my experience points, and I absolutely can't lose my equipment! That's all the wealth I've accumulated over so long. If someone picks it up, I'll never want to live again!"

"Isn't this just the Legend mode? It's all about PvP, killing people, and losing equipment. I don't like playing this mode."

"Why not follow the Chongxing the legendary player Chongxing and quit the guild to become a lone wolf? At least no one will deliberately target us in the wild."

"Being a solo player isn't that easy. Without Fixed Team for dungeons, without anyone to pass on skills and knowledge, going it alone has its limitations—not everyone can become the next Chongxing."

"Don't be too pessimistic."

"Having a guild has its advantages. Occupying territory and cities not only makes things cheaper, but there might also be additional benefits."

"The revenue from an entire city, even if it's only 5%, is astonishing to even think about."

"Besides the familiar Fragrant Leaf City and Sky City, there are also Tomb City, Milan City, Emerald City, Elton City, and Neverwinter City, which are along the trade route, plus three cities whose names I've never heard of... After the integration is complete, shall we visit them one by one?"

"Shopping around the city is something the administrators should worry about."

"All I want to know right now is which guild I should join to save my life."

"Once the regions merge, the leading forces in each region will definitely fight each other to the death... Just thinking about it makes my nose smell of blood."

Zhang Mingzhen was also waiting quietly at his residence for the fusion to finish.

He was stroking a turquoise conch shell in his hand.

The conch shell shimmered with a pale white glow, its form clearly not belonging to the real world.

It's immediately obvious that it's a unique item from the God's Domain.

As the integration between the God's Domain and the real world deepens, with more than half of the elements becoming integrated, many items in the game have become visible in reality.

At this moment, Gao Linzhi also witnessed firsthand how the Skyfall Game conquered a planet.

By creating a game mode, the foundation of planetary civilization—intelligent beings—is drawn into the game, and then the planetary rules are eroded by corrupting them.

Zhang Mingzhen naturally didn't consider those things.

He simply stared at the Jade Coral Conch.

It is one of the items that appears in the game. It belongs to a special category of items and does not have any direct effect on combat.

"Jade Coral Conch (Special Item): Holy Relic of the Tide Clan, containing the soul fire of their race. It is currently awaiting activation and its energy is not yet fully replenished."

This seemingly ordinary coral snail is actually the key to the revival of the entire species—as long as it remains intact, the Tide Clan can hope to return to the world.

As for how this item ended up in his hands, it all started with today's wilderness expedition...

At dawn, after waking up at his home, Zhang Mingzhen, as usual, first dealt with battlefield missions and the tower climbing trial.

Nowadays, the vast majority of players are used to resting and sleeping in their homes rather than returning to reality.

The homestead not only allows players to gain experience while resting, but also lets them stay up-to-date with the latest game news, making it significantly more convenient for players.

Therefore, the management of large guilds and high-level combatants mostly choose to stay in the game world for a long time and rarely return to reality.

After completing his daily tasks, his level finally increased again.

Without other players sharing experience, it would be difficult for him to maintain his level advantage by simply grinding high-level monsters.
