According to the latest addition from the player named [ Dark Archmage ], these vines can even help the sheep climb to higher places.

This shows that the two are not just in a normal symbiotic relationship, but rather... truly integrated together.

Thinking about this, he began to understand why Li Yu was so drawn to this game.

Beneath its seemingly illogical exterior, " World of Disorder " actually contains some clues that can be discovered.

Considering that the Demonic Tide that caused everything to merge has been raging for almost a hundred years, the old professor naturally thought of one word:

Survival of the fittest.

Perhaps in the beginning, there were all sorts of Aberration monsters in this world, but most of them could not integrate and adapt well, and were eventually eliminated over a hundred years of iteration.

"It is indeed somewhat special."

The old professor muttered to himself as he forwarded the official website and several screenshots sent by Li Yu to several professionals he knew well.

World of Disorder, midnight.

The villagers of Upperstream Village were already fast asleep in their tents, and a fishing net woven from vines appeared on the small river next to the ancient castle.

This was naturally Ed's masterpiece; he deliberately made the mesh of the net very large in order to prevent any oddly shaped fish from getting caught in it.

The net itself is used to catch logs that drift down from upstream.

According to Ed's investigation, the wilderness where the baron's territory is located is essentially a river sedimentary landmass similar to a "delta".

A large river flows from north to south, splitting into two branches, one large and one small, in the northern part of the territory. Three villages are located along the smaller branch, while the larger branch flows past the castle. Overall, both rivers continue to flow south.

To increase the efficiency of logging, Duolin and his colleagues chose to cross the river to cut down trees near the upstream. This way, the logs could be caught in nets simply by letting them float downstream, greatly improving the efficiency of transportation.

The sound of flowing water mingled with the clanging of wood, and suddenly footsteps sounded behind Ed.

He turned his head and saw that the golden eyes and the dragon horns, as red as forged iron, were particularly conspicuous in the darkness.

"Oh dear, why aren't you sleeping?"

Seraphina also watched the logs drifting down and colliding together:

I had a terrible dream.

"Could it be Demonic Tide?"

Seraphina shook her head:

I dreamt that someone cheated me out of money.

Gurgle.

Ed felt a dryness in his throat, sensing that the dragon was subtly mocking him.

But when Ed thought about Seraphina's intelligence and hard skills, he realized he was overthinking it.

This doesn't seem like the kind of person who can still talk nicely after discovering they've been scammed. Besides, there are still over ninety-nine years until the contract is fulfilled, so this doesn't even count as fraud until he becomes a person who has lost credibility.

I think I know what you're up to.

Just as Ed was at a loss for words, Seraphina suddenly changed the subject:

"You want to build houses here, lots of houses."

Ed nodded, sensing that there was more to the other person's words than met the eye.

Do you need a construction team?

Seraphina asked:

"I think the houses built by the people in Dragonborn Village look pretty good."

It turns out they've developed a new paid service.

Ed immediately understood: after receiving the mercenary's tribute money from the Dragonborn Village Messenger, Seraphina seemed to have fallen in love with the feeling of acting as a middleman and taking a cut.

In the foreseeable future, Seraphina will likely develop strange things like " Dragonborn Caravans," " Dragonborn Construction Teams," and " Dragonborn Housekeeping." Even the already launched " Dragonborn Mercenaries" could be renamed "Dragongate Escort Agency" and a branch could be opened near the castle.

If such a business empire were established, it would truly be a Vitality and thriving scene.

The thought of a muscular Dragonborn dressed as a servant, cleaning the castle and asking if he'd done a good job, sent a chill down Ed's spine, and he dared not think any further.

Ed then declined Seraphina's paid services.

"I already have people in mind, but I'll ask you for help again if they do a terrible job."

Seraphina simply nodded without saying anything more, then turned and returned to her high-strength dragon nest, crafted from obsidian.

Ed then realized that she seemed to have come to promote her business.

It seems my recent economics lessons have been quite effective, teaching Seraphina how to make money within the rules, rather than by riding on their laps.

The timber continued to pile up in the river. Ed got up and walked towards the castle, saying to Little Green in his mind:

"Let's start drawing."

The virtual roulette wheel began to spin, and Ed, watching as IDs were continuously filtered out, couldn't help but ask:

"Seriously, why play this animation? It's not a real spinning wheel."

Little Green immediately replied:

"A sense of ritual."

Ed was speechless. Looking at the ten lucky winners in front of him, he waved his hand and sent out the test activation notification.

His current level is 7, and he can connect with a total of 128 players.

However, the infrastructure of this world is clearly not yet adequate for a hundred or so people to play the game comfortably, and it is also impossible to run multiple servers simultaneously to alleviate the pressure. Therefore, he is being extremely cautious in introducing new players.

At this moment, it is midnight in the World of Disorder, while it is noon in the other world, which is twelve hours apart. After the ten lucky ones qualified, they inevitably began a wave of sharing, completely unaware that they were about to embark on a path of destruction.

As a cyber ghost on the internet, Ed is acutely aware of the players' desire to share, and that's exactly what he wants to see.

As the popularity of the second video of [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ] continues to rise, more and more people are registering and making reservations for this game, which relies entirely on word-of-mouth.

Even if the first video goes viral, it doesn't fundamentally reflect the quality of the game itself.

However, the boss battle against the Rat King was a genuine real-time simulation, coupled with the editing techniques of [ The Great Wei Boxing Champion ] and carefully selected music, so it's normal that it received such popularity.

Even though many people fill out the questionnaire just for fun, there are still about 5,000 qualified responses even at this rate. If the criteria are relaxed appropriately, the number could even increase to nearly 10,000.

Ed knew that as a game without even a publishing license, he was already suspected by those with ulterior motives, but he didn't care. Compared to being wanted by another world, the malice of the Tree Worship Church in this world was much more obvious.

Summer nights are not long, and the next morning, twenty bodies were neatly arranged in the castle's hall.

Ed once again performed the mysterious, unrepeatable physical movements, and then opened the Soul Webway connecting the two worlds.
