Inside the cultivation room.
Lin An sat quietly cross-legged.
Under the baptism of the laws of heaven and earth, the strength of his physical body increased tenfold, and the spiritual power and soul within him were also imbued with the aura of the laws.
Most importantly, his affinity with the rules of heaven and earth has greatly increased, laying a solid foundation for his future breakthrough to the King Realm.
"The power of the Flower of Rules is almost exhausted; it's time to break through to the Mythic Realm."
Lin An slowly opened his eyes, feeling the changes in himself, and nodded in satisfaction.
This effect is far superior to the previous Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Strengthening methods.
"Speaking of which, the players should have arrived by now, right?"
Thinking it over, Lin An adjusted his own state while opening the chat channel.
He does have a chat channel, but he's always been the only one on the entire server, so he doesn't really need to use it.
But now it's different. As soon as he opened the chat channel, he found a large number of chat messages appearing.
Lin An looked at these messages and couldn't help but smile. It had been more than a year since he transmigrated here, and now he actually felt a bit like he was meeting fellow villagers.
His gaze swept quickly across the messages, piecing together the information exchanged between the players.
When Lin An saw players discussing being arrested for taking off their pants in the plaza, he couldn't help but smile.
This had happened in his previous life as well; even he had considered trying it back then, but his sense of shame prevented him from doing so.
Then those players who took off their pants in the square were arrested and put in solitary confinement, and would be released after about 24 hours.
"Players really are a bunch of fun-loving people," Lin An couldn't help but say, glancing at the other information.
Then he saw the discussions about himself.
"It's been an hour, why is Lin An's account still on the leaderboard? Doesn't the game company care?"
"What does the game company mean? Are they really going to let this account exist?"
"Some people have already complained to the official website, but there has been no response from the official staff."
"I expected it. The official response is practically nonexistent; they only released some game information a month ago."
"Could this Lin An not be a test account, but someone who actually found a bug in the game and modified their own data?"
"Just wait, if the game developers don't delete this account, I'm quitting the game."
"Give me your resources before you quit the game, since you're not playing anymore anyway."
"..."
Seeing the messages discussing him, Lin An's smile widened.
I'm a law-abiding person, how could I possibly have cheated?
It's just that I entered the game a little over a year earlier than others, and I have a city lord father, King Realm mother, and King Realm grandfather.
That doesn't count as cheating, right?
Besides that, there were also people talking about the game.
"How do you think this game company makes money? There's not a single way to recharge; they can't just revive by watching ads, can they?"
"I'm also curious. Before the server opened, billions of game helmets were distributed. Some people estimated that those game helmets alone were worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions."
"Not to mention that this game is so realistic; it probably involved an investment of hundreds of billions or even trillions."
"There might be some monetization points later on, and this game is extremely realistic. If it really becomes our second world, the revenue it can generate will be immeasurable."
"..."
Looking at these messages, Lin An knew that these people had all made the wrong assumptions, after all, this world really existed.
That so-called game company probably doesn't even exist. As for how this game came about, Lin An already had some guesses, but he wasn't sure yet.
Lin An then read some chat messages, mainly players discussing strategies and how to obtain cultivation techniques and resources.
At the same time, different cities treat players differently.
Some cities adopted a friendly attitude after learning about the player's situation.
Some cities simply arrested these players, intending to study them.
After all, the method of resurrection is so terrifying that some people will inevitably succumb to such temptation.
"Aside from the addition of a piece of information about me, everything else is pretty much the same as in my previous life."
After watching for a while, Lin An also adjusted his state to its peak.
"Everyone says I'm cheating, so I'll give the players a gift by announcing my breakthrough to the Mythic Realm across all servers. I think the players will love it."
Lin An smiled, then circulated his cultivation technique, rapidly refining and absorbing the spiritual energy accumulated in his Spirit-Devouring Ring, and his aura also increased rapidly.
Breaking through to the Mythic Realm was still not difficult for Lin An, especially after undergoing the baptism of the rules, which made the breakthrough even easier.
boom...
In just about an hour, as Lin An's aura surged, his cultivation level also rose to the Mythic Realm.
[Congratulations on becoming the first player in the entire server to break through to the Mythic Realm! You have received an extra reward: a special resource selection pack.]
[A server-wide announcement is coming soon. Do you want to hide your name?]
"Not hidden."
Lin An shook his head. He had already Mythic Realm, while the players hadn't even started cultivating yet. There was no need for him to hide it.
Does he think he's worried these players will cause him trouble?
Kill as many as come.
[Server-wide Announcement: Congratulations to player Lin An for becoming the first Mythic Realm expert in the entire server! This is to inform all players that you should take this as an example and continue your efforts!] x3
"What the hell? I don't even have a cultivation technique yet, and Lin An has already become Mythic Realm expert?"
"He's cheating! Lin An is definitely cheating. If the other person isn't an internal account of the game company, I'll eat shit on live stream."
"Dude, don't be like that. We've only just entered the game, and you're already a god."
"How are we supposed to compete like this? There's a difference of nine major realms!"
"This Lin An is definitely from our country."
"Lin Sang, the cherry blossoms in our hometown are in bloom, please come back soon."
"Fuck ****"
"..."
The three consecutive server-wide announcements left all players completely bewildered.
The chat channel exploded with activity, attracting people from many other countries as well.
Looking at these chat messages, Lin An smiled.
Then I typed in a message.
[ Lin An ] ( First Blood ): I, Lin An, did not use any cheats!
Lin An's message was extremely special because he had a unique title, which made his name appear in gold and even pinned to the top for ten seconds, allowing countless players to see it.
"Holy crap, Lin An, tell me quickly, are you a beta tester from the game company? How do you play this game? Give me some tips!"
"You cheater, you think you can just say there's no cheating if there isn't? You're just waiting to get banned."
"Hey pro, can you carry me? Do you have any unwanted resources you can throw in?"
" Lin An, I'm so scared! Can you protect me?"
"..."
Lin An's message once again stirred up the chat channel.
However, Lin An ignored the message after sending it and looked at the special resource selection pack he had obtained after breaking through to the Mythic Realm.
