Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 844 - 605 Blackwater City, building a starship?

"What should we do? Should we not tell them anything?" Kuang Xin felt a bit flustered.

Acquiring supernatural powers was naturally thrilling, but if the real world could face disasters of the same extent as the game world, the mere thought made Kuang Xin's entire body shiver in fear.

Playing the game is one thing, but if such catastrophes were to descend upon the world...

Gong Yan frowned, feeling uncharacteristically lost, "Whether we tell them or not, it's trouble either way."

According to the rules of the game world, the nature of high-dimensional demons is such that the more people who know about them, the easier it is for them to make contact with the real world.

The fewer people who possess Spiritual Energy or know about them, the slower their invasion of the real world might progress.

However, if we completely pretend not to know anything, the pace at which they erode the world might only slow down marginally.

When the time comes, if humanity in the real world lacks the kind of Spiritual Energy battle abilities seen in the game, how will they face the invasion of high-dimensional demons?

Intentionally training in power accelerates demonic erosion.

Completely lacking training in power means waiting for a slow death dictated by fate.

Faced with beings like high-dimensional demons, it seems that no matter what course of action is taken, it's the wrong one.

Unless beings as overpoweringly strong as Mr. Bai can also appear in the real world, it's the only possible hope to shelter it temporarily.

"So should we tell Dai and the others after all?"

"If we tell them and warn them not to spread the word, it's not entirely impossible. But whether we say anything or not, it doesn't seem to matter much." Gong Yan furrowed her brows tightly, "Right now, I even feel uncertain about our assumption that dying once allows us to obtain power from the game. Death may not be the key to gaining strength. The 'Real Game' option we chose might be the core reason behind our ability. As for whether this option is part of the demons' conspiracy, that's still unknown. If it truly is part of their scheme..."

Gong Yan bit her upper lip, her tone bitter, "Then those of us who've already gained power might have already become the true pawns of the demons. The game's official term for us, 'Children of the Demon', might actually become reality. I don't want Dai and the others to walk the same path we're on..."

"Huh?" Kuang Xin was completely bewildered, "What should we do?"

"Sigh... I don't know either. But now that we've gained power, we must strive to strengthen ourselves as much as possible! If the world falls into crisis again in the future, Kuang Xin..." Gong Yan's voice became low as she called softly.

"What?"

"Maybe you will become my hero again!"

"Hero... huh?"

Kuang Xin's heart echoed with Gong Yan's words, and he felt as though the blood flowing within him had transformed into molten lava surging forth from ancient times, burning and enduring.

As he lay back into the gaming pod to enter the game once more, in the pitch-black darkness before connecting to the game, a pair of eerie crimson eyes silently emerged from the void, staring malevolently...

...

The atmosphere at the scene was far more explosive than what any Thorn City official had anticipated.

No one could have expected that those wild and unruly individuals who had been opposing them for so long would enthusiastically sign up because of a single announcement. They kept shouting absurd phrases like "I am Bai E's loyal dog."

"If we'd known earlier that these people were so easy to fool, we would've used this excuse to reel them in long ago..."

"Reel them in? If we had gathered them all earlier, what would we have to present to Mr. Bai now? Mr. Bai specifically wanted people, and he can probably tell who are genuine rebels with just one look."

After all, identifying those insects disguised as humans at a glance is far more ridiculous than this.

"True... hahaha! I never imagined humans could still have such incredible talents. I was really ignorant before."

Recruitment went on for half a day, and when the time was up, the recruitment site shut down instantly.

No matter how much players who rushed back or received the news late begged, not a single official dared defy Bai E's will.

Altogether, a total of more than fifty players gathered into a neat formation before Bai E, whispering among themselves, "This is Bai E?"

"So handsome?"

"Not outrageously handsome, just that he emits a kind of reassuring aura... So this is humanity's strongest leader right now? Truly worthy of the reputation!"

"I wonder what he'll teach us? I'm so excited!"

Beside the players' formation, there was also a group of craftspersons and technicians carefully chosen by Thorn City. The two groups were distinctly separated.

Thorn City's officials were determined to let this Whitewater City leader, Bai E, see the comprehension skills of their Thorn City craftsmen! novelbuddy.cσ๓

Otherwise, as allies, if Thorn City performed too poorly, it would be an embarrassment before Mr. Bai.

Bai E began teaching...

Watching as Bai E mostly focused on disassembling and assembling machines on the spot with minimal explanation, followed by instructions about various points to note during machine usage, the previously enthusiastic Thorn City craftsmen were visibly stunned.

'What's this supposed to be?'

'This is teaching? No theoretical principles, no apprentice trials—does this qualify as teaching?'

'Damn it, how are we supposed to learn from this?'

What was even more jaw-dropping was the reaction of the neighboring group of so-called "lunatics."

"We've mastered it, sir!"

"Is that it, sir? Can we get something more exciting?"

"Sir, could you teach us something else?"

["Teaching" completed. Based on feedback from the "Teaching" session, you have gained 29,800 points of universal experience.]

Looking at the lively players before him, Bai E smiled indulgently, "Alright then."
