Chapter 5: Collectively Changing To A New Game
Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Following the map, Chen Ziyu and the team walked speedily for almost three hours before reaching the
Ghost Mountains. The fog that was visible on the map had started to disperse, exposing thendscape
of the mountains.
Most of the team members had alreadypleted their first quest along the way, and they had even
bought new weaponry from the shop.
After experiencing the feeling of having enhanced attributes, everyone’s expectation of the game
skyrocketed. They became even more eager to find every single hidden feature that this game had to
offer.
At this time, the time span for Wang Damang’s respawning was already up, and so he entered the
game to join the others.
This round, Wang Damang was extremely cautious when he met any Wandering Souls on the road to
the Ghost Mountains. As he was in battle, he also took the initiative to observe his surroundings,
especially thendform, to prevent any deja vu.
This kind of realistic battle would leave gameaholics feeling infatuated. But as he wandered deeper, he
bought a new dagger from the shop, which increased his efficiency in ying creatures.
After entering the premise of the Ghost Mountains, he could see a group of people gathered around an
enormous creature of around three meters tall.
As he got closer, the group of people turned out to be his own teammates.
The feeling of resentment filled Wang Damang’s heart when he saw this, “These bastards promised me
that they would be done in five minutes, but they’re still at it after five hours. What happened to us
tackling the boss stage in Antis?”
As Wang Damang came into view, his teammates finally acknowledged his presence.
“Damang,e over and help us, quick! This creature’s level is too high, we’re having trouble dealing
with it!”
Wang Damang, who was nning to just sit back and watch, was bombarded by yet another quest.
[Special creature found, initiating side quests. yers that take part in eliminating powerfulherworld
creatures will be awarded a bonus of 3 soul coins, items collected from the battle can be retrieved from
the shop!]
The unexpected new quest made Wang Damang decisively join the battle.
Theherworld creature had a pair of bull horns and flesh like a dragon. Its strength was so
iparable that every time it smashed on the ground, it would leave a hole behind. The audience
that gathered around dared not interfere, and could only wander around helplessly.
Although Wang Damang had joined the team, the rest still felt that this would take strenuous effort.
Lu Wu, who was quietly observing, turned to Bei Li and curiously asked, “Thisherworld creature is
considered special? And you created a quest just to assassinate it?”
Bei Li cackled in return, “Theseherworld creatures are formed from the aftermath of the Yin soldiers
absorbing too many Wandering Souls. They are a mixture of specialities. On their chests, you’ll find a
Netherworld Pearl. This very pearl will benefit you greatly! What’s more, it can increase your quality of
life!”ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Lu Wu was gaping at Bei Li as he finally understood her whole n. Therefore, he went back to
watching the yers through the battle artifact.
Clearly theherworld creatures were much stronger than the Wandering Souls. Luckily the yers
on the scene were professionals, they were quick to react. While they dodged the oing attacks,
they also constantly created multiple wounds on theherworld creature.
They sustained their position for almost an hour. Everyone was physically and mentally exhausted. Just
when they thought they stood no chance against thisherworld creature, the ominous beast finally
fell with a loud thud, creating multiplerge clouds of haze which then threaded its way into everyone’s
bodies.
A white light started to twinkle on their bodies, indicating that they had leveled up.
Everyone sighed a breath of relief as they experienced the feeling of their attributes getting stronger.
“Quick, look over there, what’s that?” one of the team members piped up.
At this moment, the skin of theherworld creature came off due to the effect of the artifact, and there
lay a ck pearl the size of a palm.
Chen Ziyu rushed forward and swiftly picked up the Netherworld Pearl. The message regarding the
item instantly followed.
[Netherworld Pearl: can be sold in the shop for 28 soul coins]
At this time, all the others came and gathered around. Their eyes sparkled as they finished reading the
message. This was the first item that they have collected from battling a creature, not to mention that
the item was quite valuable, “Let’s follow the convention of splitting the money amongst ourselves.”
As he was saying, Chen Ziyu pulled up the item list from the shop. When he dragged the Netherworld
Pearl into the shop, a light shed across his eyes and the pearl vanished into thin air. At the same
time, 28 soul coins were added into his backpack.
Although each of them did not receive much after splitting, they were still smiling happily.
It has been so long since they experienced this kind of synergy, like back when they had tackled the
last boss stage together.
Chen Ziyu nced at the soul coins he collected then pulled up the shop once more. He chose
chainmail to wear, which cost 12 soul coins.
Chen Ziyu’s new style left everyone green with envy once more, as their hearts were filled with the urge
to level up as soon as possible so that they could have the privilege of having such an outfit as well.
……
Meanwhile, in the room, Lu Wu was holding the Netherworld Pearl in his hand, seeming somewhat
surprised by it, “This stuff can really help strengthen my abilities?”
Bei Li gave a strong nod, “If you ingest it, the soul power within it will gradually improve your ability.
Although it doesn’t help much now, it will prove useful to you in the long run!”
Lu Wu agreed with her words as he nodded his head, then went ahead and ced the round pearl in
his mouth, taking a bite of it.
“Oh… it tastes weird!”
He pictured the Netherworld Pearl as an apple as he gobbled it up, releasing a loud burp in the end. He
felt his whole body turning warm, which was quiteforting.
When he finished consuming the Netherworld Pearl, they turned their focus back to the group which
was still exploring the Ghost Mountains.

This time, Lu Wu enacted three quests for them in one go. At the same time, he yed around with the
settings so that the quests would only be triggered when the yers entered the premises of the Ghost
Mountains.
In other words, future yers who entered the Ghost Mountains would automatically receive messages
regarding the quests, saving the hassle for Lu Wu to manually enact them every time.
[Side Quest: Retrieve Herbs]:
Every herb collected from Wandering Souls in the mountains will be evaluated and can be sold in the
shop. Soul coins awarded ording to evaluation (Level of herbs arranged from low to high: General
Level Herbs, Spiritual Level Herbs (Level 1-9), King Level Herbs (Level 1-3), Divine Herbs)
[Side Quest: Creature Hunting, 30 soul coins awarded]:
For every 30 Wandering Souls in the Ghost Mountains; every 20 Lifestealers; every 20 Skeleton
Warriors; every 10 Silent Wolves and every 2 Netherworld Creatures killed.
[Cultivating Side Quest: I am strong, 30 soul coins awarded]:
When a yer reaches Level 20, a set of blue pieces of equipment for evaluation will be provided.
There are ten parts to the equipment:
Jewelry category: ring x2; bracelet x2; ne x1
Clothing category: helmet x1; armor (magic robe) x1; artifact x1;bat boots (leather) x1; belt x1
The two new quests filled the yers with joy once more as they looked forward to seeing their
enhanced strength.
Meanwhile, the main quest was still under Lu Wu’s consideration.
After all, the yers were still considered frail, and if they went for therger and stronger creatures out
there, they would no doubt be throwing straws into the wind. The only n was to first steer them in the
path of getting stronger, and he would then create a main quest for the game.
Initially, the team’s n was to continue hunting in the Ghost Mountains, and at the same time they
would keep an eye out for herbs which would be soldter on. However, a sudden message interrupted
their game:
[Your time in the game has reached 12 hours. In 5 minutes, please be prepared to be logged out of the
game.]
The message left everyone in shock. They did not expect that 12 hours had passed so swiftly right
before their eyes.
“Time passed so quickly! It’s been 12 hours, but I’m here thinking that I had just entered the game!”
“Is it possible to stay longer? I just need another 1.5 soul coins before I can purchase a Boning Knife.
This is absurd!”
However, their pleadings could never counter the settings of the game, hence after five minutes,
amongst theints of the yers, every single one of them was logged out.
As they returned to reality, they became extremely frantic. As gameaholics, they had nevere
across anything like this game before, however the limitations of the game had left them in a difficult
situation.
The team members who were left with nothing to twiddle with returned to the group chat once more.
Strike_Gold (Chen Ziyu): “There is a limit of 12 hours daily, guess it’s there for the sake of our health,
but why do I have the feeling of still wanting to y? (cry.jpg)”
Young,Wild&Free (Wang Chao): “Let’s not talk about it anymore. Hand me the creator’s address and I’ll
personally go there and give him a piece of my mind. (angry.jpg)”
Xueli_The_Strongest (Xueli): “I support you, and while you’re at it, do record it down.”
Master_Wang: “Ladies and gentlemen, what were you all up to today. Not a single soul among you
guys joined the game, and we’re almost to thepetitive team match, what are you waiting for? Hurry
up and go enhance your strengths. (angry.jpg)”
Strike_Gold: “Master, what I’m going to tell you next might seem impossible to you, but I’m going to quit
the team!”
Young,Wild&Free: “Same here, I have the same thought as well.”
Xueli_The_Strongest: “Master, you might not believe it as well, but I second their thoughts
(adorablecat.jpg)”
The master was struck dumb when he saw the list of messages that followed.
Master_Wang: “All of you want to withdraw yourselves?”
Everyone: “YES!”
Master_Wang: “May I know the reason behind this?”
Everyone gave a uniform reply: “We can’t help from indulging ourselves in another game…”
Master_Wang: “What game could make you so obsessed with it? Whichpany does it belong to?”
Chen Ziyu then sent a screenshot of the game’s introduction from Lu Wu’s website.
Strike_Gold: “It’s this 800MB epic game.”
Young,Wild&Free: “+1”
Xueli_The_Strongest: “+2”
AlmightyBerserker: “+3”
