At the edge of the helicopter landing pad --
"Professor, please don't see me off. You should go back to your meeting."
"Yes, with such heavy snow, I hope you don't catch a cold."
"If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"
At the door of a helicopter, Professor Li Yinhua of the Department of Botany is seeing off his two students Li Yu and Lü Yang.
The three individuals are not well-known; in the World of Disorder gaming circles, nobody would know who they are.
However, if their game IDs were revealed to be [Evergreen Tree], [Dawn Ah], and [Backstabbing Expert], the situation would be completely different.
In this World of Disorder, the name of the [Steady and Sure Biology Laboratory], which the three of them co-founded, is practically legendary, and [Evergreen Tree] has even earned the nickname "Chemistry Teacher Selling Ice Cream".
Although he repeatedly emphasized that he was actually a biology teacher in the strict sense, and that the World of Disorder Supplement was not addictive or addictive, everyone still habitually called him that.
Meanwhile, [Steady and Sure Biology Laboratory] has developed eight different supplements with varying effects over the past year, using Red Dragon scales as material, modern chemical extraction and processing techniques, and Psionic Energy methods.
Some have short-term effects, some have long-term effects, some enhance specific powers, and some can even cause the body to overheat and trigger a berserk state...
It was just one step away from the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin Ceremony.
They had just recently received Green Dragon scales from the [Great Wei Boxing Champion] via express delivery from thousands of miles away, and planned to develop the final dragon to create a true "Bio-Cyber Demon."
However, at that moment, the Great Rift Descent, and the three people who had already been marked as "official researchers" by Ed were instantly locked by Ed and forcibly logged out of the game.
"Did I mean that? I was worried about the cold and slippery ground, and the teacher being so old..."
Lü Yang's head was pressed down by his senior brother, but he was still babbling on and on.
"Shut up!"
Li Yu slammed the helicopter door shut, then remembered he hadn't finished speaking, so he mouthed several words to the professor through the window.
The professor glanced at it twice, then nodded to indicate he understood—his student had just said "recruitment."
The other party wanted him to make this suggestion at the meeting: to recruit the best ordinary players to assist in handling various matters. However, the old professor felt that matters that might cause casualties should not be entrusted to ordinary citizens.
So after some discussion, he decided to only offer his opinions, leaving the decision of whether to approve them to the professionals.
An emergency meeting was quickly convened, and several issues requiring discussion were projected directly to the audience.
1. With current technological capabilities and our knowledge and exploration of another world, are we able to repel the invaders from other universes this time?
2. Without the help of benevolent extraterrestrial life, can the subsequent "tearing invasion" phenomenon be dealt with quickly?
3. How to address large-scale, collective Aberration?
Authorities from various industries immediately began discussions on the three most important questions.
And a thousand miles away--
The university was as lively as ever today. [Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop] had just finished a required class and was returning to the dormitory when he heard a commotion.
Stepping out of the elevator, she found everyone gathered at the window in the corridor, staring in astonishment at the sky outside.
Just as she was about to go over and join in the fun, she suddenly heard a series of "uh uh ah ah" sounds coming from her dormitory not far away.
Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop made her heart skip a beat; her intuition told her that things weren't simple.
She took a few quick steps to the dormitory door, pushed it open, and saw one of her roommates being attacked!
Her neck was being gripped tightly, and she was almost being lifted off the ground.
His face was already flushed red, and a low, struggling sound came from his throat. His tongue was sticking out due to lack of oxygen, making him look like a genuine meme of the warlord Cao Shaolin who was about to be strangled.
It wasn't a person who did all this, or even a person at all, but a tree branch that stretched in from outside the window.
The university with the [Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop] is located in the south, and the dormitory buildings are not very tall. The outside is right next to the canopy of an evergreen plant.
Every summer, she and her roommates would be grateful for the tree's shade, but today's scene only sent chills down her spine.
The tree is going to kill us!
[Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop] rushed forward and tore and ripped at the branch, but it had no effect because the outer skin was so tough and thick.
She wanted to cut the branch, but because of the university's knife control policy, she couldn't even find a fruit knife.
Seeing that her roommate was being pinched until her eyes rolled back, [Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop] strangely calmed down at this moment.
The scene before her seemed strangely familiar.
Despite their different plant species, their behavior is remarkably similar, exhibiting the entanglement that almost every Aberration plant in this World of Disorder does.
Having witnessed the scene before us, only a fool would still believe that this World of Disorder is just an ordinary game.
If plants that didn't originally have this ability gain offensive capabilities, what will happen to skills that were originally only usable in games...?
[Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop] Holding onto a branch with one hand, she stretched out the other, but instead of touching the "ring" around her roommate's neck that was gradually tightening, she became focused, just as she had done every day in the World of Disorder game over the past year.
In real life, she had done similar things before, especially when she was most engrossed in the hobby shortly after she started.
At the time, she even kept a potted plant in real life and "exerted her powers" on it every day, but naturally, nothing came of it, and the potted plant even died due to neglect.
But for some reason, at this moment, [the Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop] felt that he could do it.
An invisible and intangible force gathered in her hands, conveying her current will to the large tree beside the road.
The branches that had been wrapped around his roommate's neck gradually untied and returned to the outside of the window. His roommate, who had been strangled half to death, instantly collapsed. [Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop] quickly stepped forward to support him.
Before she could even ask how the other person was feeling or if they needed to go to the hospital, her phone started vibrating incessantly in her pocket.
The person calling at that moment was none other than Zhongdeng [Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop], who had gotten hooked on the same thing with her.
As soon as I answered the phone, an anxious voice came through:
"Are you safe now? Something terrible has happened! The World of Disorder seems to be becoming a reality!"
"I'm fine."
[Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop] slightly surprised:
"Only the trees at school have survived. How's everything at home?"
"Everything else is fine, except that the faucet keeps spitting out crystals..."
