"First Test Players Beware, These Red-Eyed Fierce Beasts Recognize No Kin!"

On the forum, this post was rapidly climbing the ranks. Everyone clicked to read it and discovered it was a first-test player who had died under a frenzied fierce beast.

"These fierce beasts are simply savage by nature, impossible to communicate with. Everyone, stay far away if you see them!"

The player wrote this, and many felt a surge of excitement. Another player had died, and they could snatch up their spot!

A young girl, about twenty years old, cackled in front of her computer. "Finally, I managed to snag it!"

Many people slapped their thighs and cursed. They had specifically designed software to snatch up dead players' spots, so why did it fail again?

Jiang Ping sneered at his laptop. "You scalpers still want to fleece me?"

Even though accounts couldn't be bought or sold, he hated people who used software to snatch up spots the most!

In Jiang Ping's design, anyone who used software to snatch a spot would never be able to enter this world in their lifetime!

"Brothers, this is huge! I've found another intelligent lifeform!"

The forum exploded again. A player had found an NPC they could communicate with. According to this player, the NPC was just a tree that had taken human form, not some major figure. Of course, for players, it was still very powerful.

The giant tree didn't reveal much useful information, but it actually pointed out the direction of Jade Capital Mountain!

This sent the players into a frenzy. If they weren't going to attack Hongjun now, when would they?

Meng Tun: Jade Plate of Creation (gulps) I'm coming! No one's stopping me!

Game Zhang: Pangu Banner, Taiji Diagram, and my favorite Four Swords of Zhu Xian! I'm going to set up the Zhu Xian Sword Formation. Let's see who can beat me!

North Underworld Has Rain: Brothers above, don't get too excited. Hongjun has all these supreme treasures too. I think the ones who are likely to die are us!

Besides, the Four Swords of Zhu Xian aren't with Hongjun right now, are they? They might be with the Demon Lord Luohu!

Xiao Lin: I think North Underworld is right. Even though we've figured out Hongjun's location now, and he's a super big gift package, can our scrawny arms and legs beat him?

Aren't we just going to be his food?

Everyone's hearts tightened. Although they were blinded by countless supreme treasures and the Jade Plate of Creation, the gap between them was still immense!

Even if a hundred Primordial Alien Species surrounded Hongjun, he probably wouldn't even bat an eye, right?

They might actually end up being the ones delivering food from a thousand miles away!

At this moment, a netizen who was spectating chimed in with a suggestion: "Everyone, you've probably forgotten about the Transmigrator's Divine Weapon, right?"

Since "Myriad Worlds: Primordial World" was terrifyingly realistic, possibly even a real world, this ultimate weapon should be manufacturable!

Everyone was shocked. This was a game, but it wasn't child's play. How could they have fallen into the mindset of ordinary games?

Were they always trying to use old methods to defeat bosses? After all, this was 100% realistic!

Meng Tun quickly asked, "What you're talking about, could it be... it?"

Game Zhang: Sulfur

Xiao Lin: Saltpeter

North Underworld Has Rain: Charcoal

In unison: It is, it is, it's definitely it!!

Jiang Ping, looking at his laptop, his smile froze. He sighed, "The intelligence of these silly netizens is truly inexhaustible."

What was impossible before now seemed to have a real chance of success! They were also incredibly bold, knowing they couldn't revive after death, yet they still wanted to make a big score!

As the saying goes, opportunity knocks, and men die for wealth, birds die for food!

"Could Hongjun really capsize in a ditch?"

Jiang Ping thought to himself. Hongjun hadn't even figured out the cultivation methods yet!

After thinking for a while, Jiang Ping decided to let things develop. If Hongjun really did capsize, then the players would just have to figure out the cultivation methods themselves.

At that time, although the Primordial World would be turned upside down, he might also have some unexpected gains.

Game Zhang: Brothers, assemble! Head to the foot of Jade Capital Mountain from all over the Primordial World. Along the way, collect materials for gunpowder first.

After gathering at the foot of the mountain, we'll launch the final assault! One arrow piercing the clouds!

Others roared: Ten thousand horses will come to meet us!

Someone interjected with a complaint: Wasn't it supposed to be ten million Ji Lao coming to meet us?

Speaking of Ji Lao, everyone was startled. Why hadn't this big shot spoken up? Had they forgotten about this important matter?

Everyone quickly summoned Ji Lao.

Meng Tun: Ji Lao, where did you run off to? We're forming a team to take down a super BOSS! The richest and strongest final BOSS in the entire game!

Ji Lao seemed to finally sense everyone's summons and appeared weakly:

I apologize, everyone. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it for this attack on Hongjun.

Many were shocked. No one had forgotten Ji Lao's previous bold boasts. Could it be that he had actually flown to the Solar Star?

Eaten the yet-to-be-born Eastern Emperor Taiyi, seized the Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell, taken over the nest, and ascended the throne of the Heavenly Emperor?

Meng Tun: Ji Lao, you wouldn't betray everyone, betray the revolution, and go enjoy peace and happiness all by yourself, would you!

Game Zhang: Spit it out, did you really fly up to the sky and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the sun?

Everyone secretly thought, "This is bad." Could it be that while a large group of players were preparing to take down Hongjun, this guy killed Eastern Emperor Taiyi and seized the Chaos Bell?

Ji Lao Jiang: It's a long story. I'll show you my current situation, and you'll know.

Picture after picture of white fog was uploaded. Everyone studied them carefully and realized that these were just clouds at high altitude.

Game Zhang: Ji Lao, where are you now?

Ji Lao Jiang: I'm in the Primordial World, drifting until I lost all contact.

Everyone was confused. It seemed Ji Lao was getting closer and closer to the sun, so why would he say that?

Ji Lao Jiang continued: I made thorough preparations, but the path to the heavens was still more difficult than I could have imagined. It was hard, hard, hard!

First, I encountered the Nine Heavens Gale, then layers of extreme heat and cold, and all sorts of lightning and thunder chasing me and blasting at my butt!

The journey was fraught with difficulties, indescribable. If I hadn't held the grand ideals of the Chaos Bell and the Heavenly Emperor's Throne in my heart, I would have given up long ago!

After going through eighty-one tribulations, enduring ninety-nine heavenly tribulations, and passing through nine layers of the celestial dome, I finally reached the outer space!

At that moment, I was so moved I almost cried! It wasn't easy!

Even Tang Sanzang's journey to the West wasn't as difficult as mine! (10 crying emojis). If I had had this perseverance when I was studying, I would have gotten into Tsinghua and Peking University long ago!

Everyone sighed. Ji Lao's journey to the heavens was truly arduous. Although there was some exaggeration, looking at the pictures with their strange colors and the vast thunderbolts like celestial pillars, they knew Ji Lao had indeed suffered greatly.

And look, one of Ji Lao's selfies was almost tear-inducing. His beautiful green feathers were mostly scorched, and his wings were almost bald!

The few remaining feathers on his head were electrocuted straight, turning into three tufts of hair.

Ji Lao Jiang: I think I should be the first creature to fly from the Primordial World to outer space. When I got to space, I was stunned!

Space wasn't smaller than the land, and I couldn't distinguish east, west, north, or south, or up and down. The magnetic field was chaotic, and I actually got lost!

I wandered around here for a day and a night, going in circles in the same place. I even suspected I had stumbled into the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array!

Now, forget about finding the Lunar and Solar Stars, I don't even know how to get back!

Uh, everyone finally understood why Ji Lao Jiang was so grief-stricken. After overcoming countless hardships, he was just one step away from a Primordial Supreme Treasure, only to get lost.

Game Zhang: Cough, cough. It seems Ji Lao won't be able to make it to the greatest feat since the creation of heaven and earth. All you other brothers, hurry to the foot of Jade Capital Mountain!

Just then, someone suddenly spoke up.

Shui Yue: Esteemed seniors, can I participate? I'm a newbie, I just managed to grab a spot and experience the second world.

North Underworld Has Rain: It's a cute girl! We need every bit of strength right now. If anyone unfortunately dies along the way, new joiners can also gather at Jade Capital Mountain.

Seeing Shui Yue speak, many people felt a pang of jealousy. Why didn't they encounter such a good thing?

Now, the game "Myriad Worlds: Primordial World" had clearly revealed its extraordinary nature. Yesterday, even the official media reported on it, asking the first batch of test players to voluntarily sacrifice themselves for protection, and they could receive monthly stipends!

However, apart from the first few who accidentally exposed their real information, players who entered now were very careful. They didn't want to be interrogated!

You know, Xiao Lin was now locked up in a small dark room, with nothing to do all day, no need to attend classes, just play games all day!

He occasionally underwent experiments, and a whole army was stationed outside to protect him!

As for his true thoughts now, there was only one: Let me go, I don't want to play games, I want to study!
