Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 3 - : Beginner Difficulty?

[Liver Emperor Player Group Chat (Online: 10 people)]

Family Shared Godfather: Why hasn't godfather returned yet? Could he be so immersed in the plot of Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather that he can't pull himself away?

Poor to the point of eating dirt (administrator): Might be reporting to the police, trying to retrieve the massive savings of 20 yuan stolen from his bank account, the livestream fee isn't settled until the day after tomorrow, that's Brother Li's food money for tomorrow, (funny.jpg)

Fun without paying: Godfather has fallen, next godfather please step up.

Heart Killing: Stop talking, first kick the Benefit Officer out, which manager added him, send a red packet to the group brothers as an apology.

...

Just as members were heatedly discussing the "Game Working Party" who hadn't returned, the person in question came back.

Game Working Party: Guys, hurry and download the game, the Benefit Officer is truly generous, I got the cracked version of "Dark Land" from his link, it's awesome, the modeling is 100% lifelike, haven't experienced the game plot yet, but the realism is definitely not exaggerated.

Poor to the point of eating dirt replies to Game Working Party: You seem to want to be another victim?

Family Shared Godfather replies to Game Working Party: Brother Li, I trust you so much, yet you want to trick me into downloading the Calabash Brothers (wipe tears.jpg)

Fun without paying replies to Game Working Party: Brother Li, you usually take such good care of us, how come you started to learn bad habits from eating dirt, tricking your adorable group members now? I won't watch this Calabash Brothers.

Facing the group members' skepticism, Li, sitting at his computer desk, furiously typed on the keyboard:

Game Working Party: We've been playing games together for so many years, don't you guys know what kind of person I am? I guarantee with my honor there's no scam, hurry and download to experience the game for yourself, I'll say it again, this link really downloads the legitimate "Dark Land".

Poor to the point of eating dirt (administrator): I suspect that it's not Brother Li online right now, but the Benefit Officer who stole the account through the link... Let me give a password: What to do if a BUG appears in the game?

Game Working Party: No BUGs, only features.

Poor to the point of eating dirt (administrator): Identified, this really is Brother Li, guys I'm going in first, I accept being deceived.

Heart Killing: Hard to believe, but the password matches successfully, I believe this is Brother Li, guys I'm also diving in.

Family Shared Godfather: Godfather, I will continue to follow in your footsteps.

Game Working Party: Don't rush guys, let's first discuss the initial career choice, and put together an appropriate team to start the game.

...

[Challenger "Ye Liuyun" enters the game, creating an initial monster body consumes 1000 sacrificial power, remaining sacrificial power: 139278.]

[Challenger "Wang Xuan" enters the game, creating an initial monster body consumes 1000 sacrificial power, remaining sacrificial power: 138278....]

The notification of players entering the game continually echoes in Qi Sheng's mind.

Looking at the now silent group chat interface, Qi Sheng clicked "Exit Group Chat", and instantly an option prompt popped up on the screen:

[User: Benefit Officer, confirm to exit Liver Emperor Player Group Chat?]

Qi Sheng pressed "Yes", and the group chat interface on the computer desktop disappeared.

The first batch of player recruitment has been completed.

To recruit this group of players, he had specifically crafted a fake link.

The players think they've gotten the real "Dark Land", but in fact, there is no game behind the link, but a spatial array setup to extract and transport their consciousness to Monster World, there to complete life reshaping, possessing perfectly adapted monster bodies.

However, the players in the group obviously haven't realized this, thinking they downloaded a free cracked version of "Dark Land".

It is certain that after they experience the game content, they will be grateful to him in the group chat.

They might even treat him as their new godfather.

But Qi Sheng's goal has been achieved, he can't be bothered to read the forthcoming flattery and praise, he is more concerned about the revenue created by the players.

Imperial Tomb Village is still being continuously damaged by the energy of the Horror Black Tide, necessitating a huge amount of sacrificial power every day to maintain the defense barriers of Imperial Tomb Village, if the players can't generate revenue, the remaining sacrificial energy will soon be depleted.

Just then, a pale blue water ball abruptly appears beside him.

[Boss, were the recruits this time from the tribe of your former homeland?]

"Before I crossed over to Monster World, I was once one of them, but this world has undergone some changes during the time I left, with many Alien Race powers emerging," Qi Sheng nodded in response.

The floating water ball beside him, called Guidance, has a very special ability—it can turn scanned things into presented data information.

All the Newbie Guides that follow the players are its avatars.

Over the hundreds of years since he crossed to Monster World, inheriting the original strength of Emperor Zhao, the Guidance that once followed Emperor Zhao also became one of his four Servants.

The Challenger System (player recruitment system) he devised, the data processing part is managed by Guidance.

[They have entered Monster World, do you want to go take a look?]

Qi Sheng nods, a light screen emerges in front of him, showing the players who are entering the game for the first time.

...

"This game and reality, what's the difference? Even the ground's broken stones modeling is perfect."

"After watching Calabash Brothers for so many years, I finally downloaded the genuine game, the Benefit Officer in the group is going to be my new godfather."

"It's so realistic, truly a masterpiece of the super virtual reality game built over ten years by the Moon Eclipse Clan."

A flash of white light, and ten figures appeared in the Central Square of Imperial Tomb Village.

Among the ten players, 2 had visions of Eagle-Headed Demons floating behind them, 2 had stone-statue ghosts, and the remaining 6 chose the initial form of Black Armored Snake.

"Brothers, let's leave Newbie Village. Let's level up quickly since it's server launch time, we'll make a fortune with this game later on. This is the game with the most pay-to-play players at this stage, we need to cherish the early development time." Li Zheng spoke at this moment.

"Brother Li, how come it's just a few of us in Newbie Village, where are the other players? Didn't they say a million copies were sold in ten minutes, the game should be overcrowded by now."

The player speaking looked very young, with the name "poor" over his head, and an Eagle-Headed Demon vision floating behind him.

Before Li Zheng could respond, another young man with "Killing Intent" floating over his head calmly said:

"Nonsense, we must have entered a separate channel; otherwise, with millions of players flooding in at once, this Newbie Village would have exploded."

"That's true."

"Let's leave the village first, leveling up early is the most important."

"Let's follow Brother Li, you're the most professional when it comes to games."

Along the stone-paved road, the team of ten crossed the Energy Barrier and entered the fog of darkness.

Immediately, an indescribable sense of fear surged, and faintly, the sounds of bones breaking, wailing... various complex noises intertwined in their minds, even causing strong dizziness.

Just as Li Zheng and the others were about to lose their consciousness, the darkness ahead cleared, and suddenly their vision broadened.

[Emperor Tomb Mountain Range]

A line of golden text appeared before their eyes and quickly faded.

Before their eyes was a world of crimson, under the vast sky a dark red crescent moon tilted toward the horizon, the clouds dyed red by the afterglow, thunder flashing inside when they churned.

On the horizon's edge, one could see a volcano still erupting flames; the air was filled with sulfur and scorched earth, and the intense heatwaves rolled in from afar.

The nearly apocalyptic world scene in front of them shocked everyone.

"Hisss, so shocking, feels like the next second the erupting volcano will drown us." Chi Tu remarked at this moment.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

"Calm down, the scene outside Newbie Village looks terrifying, but there definitely won't be any strong monsters, it allows us a process to grow and adapt." While shocked, Li Zheng made a self-proclaimed rational analysis.

Just as his words ended, a bolt of thunder tore the sky apart, and black cracks instantly spread across the entire sky.

A colossal beast with a ferocious body tore through the clouds.

Its massive body covered with red scales, like burning flames, each carrying tremendous power and endless majesty, its eyes opened, sharp like two rubies.

A deafening roar of the beast echoed through the heavens, shaking the air itself.

The edges of the monster's broad and strong wings were embedded with golden patterns, whipping up gales when flapping, blowing the trees below haphazardly, and dust flying.

Even at a distance, Li Zheng and the others were affected, pushed backward consecutively by the gale.

The flying beast's descent speed suddenly sped up, like a red lightning streaking through the sky, carrying a momentum of destroying everything as it plummeted toward an unknown target below.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, all was still, only that crimson figure the focus of heaven and earth.

As its body was about to touch the ground, a tremendous wave of heat accompanied by a deafening boom swept across.

Boom!

The ground trembled violently, a mushroom cloud rose in the distance.

After a while, everything returned to silence, and Li Zheng and the others were stunned in place, the shock in their hearts beyond words.

After a long time, Chi Tu turned his head to look at the dazed expression on Li Zheng:

"This is the safe newbie scene you were talking about?"

Li Zheng swallowed, continuing to analyze:

"Is it possible that this is just the game's opening scene display, like CG effects, and won't cause any real threat to us? After all, we are newbies; there should be a progressively challenging adaptation process..."

Before he could finish, the roar of the beast accompanied by gales hit them, the terrifying sound waves painfully stinging their eardrums.

"Don't panic, it's just an intense experience at the start, it doesn't affect the lower difficulty of the newbie mode."

Li Zheng wiped the blood from his nose, stubbornly analyzing.

[I like this guy's character, big on self-deception.]

Water Ball, standing next to Li Zheng, gave a thumbs up at this moment.

Li Zheng: ...
