On the phone screen, with a light tap of her finger on the silver vortex-shaped icon, an app interface silently popped up.
After ripples like faint water waves spread across the display, Fang Yishu noticed the dim silver glow that had appeared over the entire screen. Once she confirmed that no one else could see the contents, she took a deep breath, skipped past categories such as [User Personal Information], [Exchange Item Information], and [Mission World Records], and selected the conspicuous option at the bottom: [Main God Platform Official Website].
Faint waves of light flowed, and in the blink of an eye, she entered a new page.
The homepage, dominated by silver-blue and green hues, was outlined with dense clusters of leaves that surrounded the clean, elegant interface at its center. The main page was also clearly divided into different sections.
Currently visible among the leaves were sections such as "Main God Announcements," "General Forum," "Mission Hall," and "User Services."
At a glance, after confirming that there were no new unread notices in the Main God Announcements section, the female college student plunged into the General Forum without hesitation.
At once, the silver-blue page expanded as the dark silver long leaves and verdant branches around it silently drew back like living creatures, making room for more content. What met her eyes was an almost overwhelming number of posts—
—[Offering a huge sum to purchase unused "Visitor Referral Slots" from first-round Main God users!]
—[Why were the participants in the first Main God Game all domestic citizens? There must be some special key factor that has yet to be discovered! A thorough investigation into the first-round participants is recommended!]
—[One Universal Point for 500,000 US dollars! Buying Universal Points at a high price! Larger quantities can be negotiated!]
—[Special game allegedly caused a Visitor's real-world death. Is this a harmless game or a dangerous experiment in disguise? Actual cases have already emerged. Players are advised to consider carefully and cherish their lives.]
—[It is said that England user Tatus Donick drew a complete Sixth Tier extraordinary item from a Newcomer Blind Box! Known relevant details revealed!]
—[A Detailed Guide to Newcomer Exchanges—Exchange information traps at the Main God that you absolutely need to know!]
She kept scrolling through these cluttered, complicated forum posts, impossible to tell truth from falsehood.
Just as she was about to turn the page, Fang Yishu's gaze inadvertently swept over the words "complete Sixth Tier extraordinary item." Her fingertip abruptly froze, and her whole body gave a slight, uncontrollable shudder, as though shocked by electricity.
A Sixth Tier item?
Was that real?
An indescribably complicated thrill surged straight into her heart.
She instinctively wanted to raise a hand to touch her shoulder, only to suddenly realize that she was in her college dormitory, with other people in the room.
That thing clearly was not something that should appear in this setting.
Still... Sixth Tier? Wasn't that a little too absurd?
Driven by intense curiosity, she could no longer spare attention for any other news. She almost impatiently tapped into the forum post.
[—Yesterday, on the Main God Platform, an England user—a brown-haired white man who called himself "Tatus Donick" in the mission world—opened a Newcomer Blind Box. The item that appeared in his hand immediately emitted an intense light, accompanied by an unknown influence resembling something that disturbed the mind, instantly drawing exceptional attention from those around him.
The item seemingly triggered the Main God Platform's relevant concealment mechanism, causing its main body to vanish instantly on the spot. Some believed it had most likely been directly placed into the user's personal storage section by the Main God, awaiting retrieval by its holder.
—Considering that newcomer users were basically unable to obtain much additional information shortly after entering the platform, including knowledge that they possessed personal storage services, this judgment was highly credible.
In the Newcomer Trial Tatus was participating in, there was a "Guide" played by an old user from the first round of games—users who do not understand the meaning of "Guide" may read another brief explanatory post under my ID.
—According to the relevant parties, after the Blind Box item disappeared, several people who returned near Tatus, including the Guide, vaguely heard him mutter in confusion. They confirmed that it roughly included the original spoken words "Six Level," along with the Main God's translated terms "Sixth Tier" and "Pure Heart."
Tatus then noticed the strange reactions of those around him and quickly exited the Main God Platform. His whereabouts remain unknown. It has yet to be confirmed whether the identity information he revealed in the mission world was genuine, or what further details may exist.
According to information from user channels with a certain degree of relative credibility, at the instant the item appeared, even under the Main God's normal concealment, nearby users still experienced sudden sensations resembling cardiac arrest and blood pressure changes. To varying degrees, they also fell into abnormal states such as confused thoughts and blank minds.
The effect gradually disappeared only after several seconds.
Based on various comparable cases, it can be judged that something akin to a "mental shock" or "extraordinary pressure" occurred at the scene.
Taking all known clues together, the white man claiming his real name was "Tatus Donick" had an extremely high probability of truly obtaining a complete Sixth Tier extraordinary item from a Newcomer Blind Box.
At present, various bounties related to this man have appeared on multiple darknet markets and bounty platforms. It is said that anyone able to provide valid identity information or further clues will receive a substantial reward...
All users in the Eastern Great Nation should take this as a warning. Prioritize keeping your personal information confidential. Keeping a low profile is always the best way to protect yourself. Remember that.
This is everyone's good friend, Police Dog Hero. If anyone still has further questions after reading this, feel free to promptly contact me through forum messages to obtain relevant information at a low price...]
The information that followed, along with the replies, was mostly nothing more than baseless speculation from other users or repeated expressions of amazement. Fang Yishu merely skimmed them a few times before losing interest and ignoring them.
The female college student simply sat there in a daze, resting her chin on one hand as though pondering something.
As a Main God user who had only joined yesterday, a thoroughly typical newbie, she naturally had no way of knowing what "Sixth Tier" specifically meant.
Yet at the same time, relying on humanity's most basic intuition, along with the scraps of understanding she had gained from that Newcomer Trial and the platform, she could not possibly fail to realize the immense weight carried by those two simple words—a weight that might well overturn ordinary people's imagination.
But precisely because of that, it instead gave her a dazed, profoundly unreal feeling.
It felt as though all the common sense and order she had seen, heard of, personally experienced, and relied upon to survive throughout her more than twenty years of life—everything, all of it—had become an illusion that was no longer quite so real.
