Chapter 1182: with translation of chapter title

A void fluctuation flashed past, Xiao Feng's vision changed, and he arrived at a dark cave.

Translation: "A ripple flashed through the void, Xiao Feng's vision shifted, and he found himself in a dark cave."

A void fluctuation flashed past, Xiao Feng's vision changed, and he arrived at a dark cave.

We'll output: 【1】 A void fluctuation flashed past, Xiao Feng's vision changed, and he arrived at a dark cave.

This cave is underground, with no sunlight, only the system's built-in faint light source, allowing visibility of a few meters.

Translation: "This cave is underground, with no sunlight, only the system's built-in faint light source, allowing visibility of a few meters."

This cave is underground, with no sunlight, only the system's built-in faint light source, allowing visibility of a few meters.

Xiao Feng casually conjured a fireball, illuminating the surroundings.

Translation: "Xiao Feng casually conjured a fireball, illuminating the surroundings."

The area isn't large, about thirty to forty meters across, with a pond beside it; the water is still, without ripples.

Translation: "The area isn't large, about thirty to forty meters across, with a pond beside it; the water is still, without ripples."

Then there was nothing else to see, not even an exit.

Translation: "Then there was nothing else to see, not even an exit."

"Can we set a respawn point here? Doesn't it have to be reachable on foot?" Xiao Feng exclaimed in surprise.

Translation: "\"Can we set a respawn point here? Isn't it required to be reachable on foot? \" Xiao Feng exclaimed."

Qian Sha laughed: "You can reach it on foot; just jump into this water, walk a few dozen steps outward, and you'll reach a lake, then walk a bit more to get ashore."

Translation: "Qian Sha laughed: \"You can reach it on foot—just jump into this water, walk a few dozen steps outward, and you'll reach a lake; walk a bit more and you'll be ashore. \""

"Uh..."

Translation: "\"Uh... \""

Xiao Feng understood the terrain structure of this place.

Translation: "Xiao Feng understood the terrain structure here."

This is a concealed underwater cave that should have been buried under water, but because its elevation is higher than the lake surface, part of it formed a cavern-like shape.

Translation: "This is a concealed underwater cave that should have been submerged, but because its elevation is above the lake surface, part of it formed a cavern."

He tried to set a respawn point, but the system notified him that another faction had already placed one there, so overlapping isn't allowed.

Translation: "He tried to set a respawn point, but the system notified him that another faction had already placed one here, so overlapping wasn't allowed."

After walking a few steps to the side, he finally succeeded in setting it up.

Translation: "After walking a few steps to the side, he finally succeeded in setting it up."

"Being able to find a place like this is pretty impressive." Xiao Feng gave a thumbs-up, admiringly.

Translation: "\"Being able to find such a place is pretty impressive. \" Xiao Feng gave a thumbs-up, admiringly."

Its location on the map is also not bad; it's not far from the center, so the next shrink should still be safe.

Translation: "Its map location is also decent—not far from the center—so the next safe zone should still be secure."

Qian Sha laughed: "What's this? There are many strange places in the Primordial World. Don't think with human mentality; this place is easily discovered by players of the Water Civilization, but even if they come, it's useless—there's not enough space for many respawn points."

Translation: "Qian Sha chuckled: \"What's this? The Primeval World is full of strange places. Don't think with human logic—players of the Water Civilization would easily spot this spot, but even if they came, it'd be useless; there's not enough room for many respawn points. \""

This place is too small; after setting up two respawn points, there's no space left,

Translation: "This place is too small; after setting up two respawn points, there's no space left,"

at most one or two more can be added.

Translation: "at most we could add one or two more."

If anyone dared to respawn beside those two, they probably wouldn't survive until the final day.

Translation: "If anyone dared to respawn beside those two, they probably wouldn't survive to the final day."

"How many enemies have you killed?"

Translation: "\"How many enemies have you killed? \""

After setting the respawn point, Xiao Feng wasn't in a rush to go out and play.

Translation: "After setting the respawn point, Xiao Feng wasn't in a hurry to go out and play."

Anyway, his score is firmly in first place; he can just camp here until the last day.

Translation: "Anyway, his score steadily holds first place; he could just camp here until the last day."

The kill-score ranking of the Evil Domain doesn't seem high; you can't even see their names in the top 100.

Translation: "The Evil Realm's kill-score ranking doesn't seem high—you can't even see their names in the top 100."

Qian Sha replied: "I've casually racked up 30,000 points these past few days; combined with others in the same zone, they total several hundred thousand points, putting my overall rank at 104th. Just getting into the top 100 before the end is enough; I don't have high demands."

Translation: "Qian Sha replied: \"I've casually racked up 30,000 points these past few days; other players in the same zone together have tens of thousands of points, putting my total rank at 104th. As long as I break into the top 100 before the end, that's enough—I don't need higher. \""

"Isn't this ranking important? Why not compete to kill a few more?" Xiao Feng expressed his confusion.

Translation: "\"Isn't this ranking important? Why not fight for a few more kills? \" Xiao Feng expressed his confusion."

Qian Sha explained: "The rewards for team ranking are distributed to the entire war zone; we Evil Domain only have tens of thousands of players, so we can't exhaust those resources. Compared to that, personal performance matters more—it's the high-end resource that truly boosts one's strength."

Translation: "Qian Sha explained: \"The team ranking's rewards are distributed to the entire warzone; we Evil Realm only have tens of thousands of players, so we can't exhaust those resources. By comparison, personal performance matters more—it's the high-end resource that truly boosts one's strength. \""

Xiao Feng knew that if his personal performance were excellent, he would receive some rewards.

Translation: "Xiao Feng knew that if his personal performance were excellent, there would be some rewards."

But Qian Sha surely knows more, so he asked: "How is 'personal performance' defined to determine reward levels? If you've only killed 30,000 people, you probably wouldn't even make the top ten."

Translation: "But Qian Sha surely knew more, so he asked: \"How is this 'personal performance' defined for reward tiers? Just killing 30,000 people probably wouldn't even get you into the top ten. \""

In the Primordial World, experts are as common as clouds; with 30,000 kills you might at best hold onto the top 50, and the top 10 is definitely out of reach.

Translation: "In the Primeval World, experts are as common as clouds; taking 30,000 heads might at best secure a top‑50 spot, and the top ten are definitely out of reach."

Qian Sha said: "I don't know the exact algorithm, but generally, the stronger the enemies you kill, the higher your performance rating. Even if you slaughter over a million weak test subjects from start to finish, it wouldn't compare to killing the No. 1 war machine three times."

Translation: "Qian Sha said: \"I don't know the exact algorithm, but the stronger the enemies you kill, the higher your performance rating. Even if you slaughter over a million of the weakest trial‑takers from start to finish, it wouldn't matter as much as killing the Number One Machine Soldier three times. \""

Xiao Feng suddenly understood.

Translation: "Xiao Feng suddenly understood"

。

Translation: "." (just a period)

So, personal performance isn't just about how many you've killed; it also depends on whom those victims have killed!

Translation: "So, personal performance isn't just about how many you kill; it's also about whom those victims have killed!"

No. 1 is very strong, having slain large numbers of ordinary players, skilled players, and even top-tier players.

Translation: "Number One is strong, having slain vast numbers of ordinary players, skilled players, and even top‑tier players."

Thus the system would classify him as a "super high score," and killing him would greatly boost one's rating.

Translation: "Therefore the system will label him as \"Super Large Points, \" and killing him will greatly boost one's rating."

Likewise, he and Qian Sha are also high-score characters; if they were killed, the evaluator of their killer would see a significant increase.

Translation: "Likewise, he and Qian Sha are high‑score characters; if they were killed, the evaluator of their slayer would surge as well."

"If there are no war machines on the final day, why don't we kill each other a few times to farm points and lock in a ranking?" Xiao Feng suggested with a laugh.

Translation: "\"If there are no machines on the final day, why don't we kill each other a few times to farm points and lock in a ranking? \" Xiao Feng suggested with a smile."

Qian Sha chuckled and shook his head: "Better not; the ancestral elders of all races are watching. If we deliberately farm ratings, we might end up blacklisted—gaining nothing while losing everything."

Translation: "Qian Sha gave a light laugh and shook his head: \"Better not—various clan ancestors are watching. If we deliberately farm ratings, we might get blacklisted outright, gaining nothing. \""

"That's also true."

Translation: "\"That's also true. \""

The ultimate reward in the Primordial World isn't actually a ranking.

Translation: "The Primeval World's ultimate reward isn't actually a ranking."

It's the recognition of the ancestral elders!

Translation: "It's the acknowledgment of the various clan ancestors!"

If one's performance stands out and they receive an audience with the primordial ancestor, that's truly a meteoric rise—more important than obtaining an eighth‑tier talent!

Translation: "If one's performance stands out and they receive an audience with the Primordial Ancestor, that's truly a meteoric rise—more important than obtaining an eighth‑rank talent!"

Even if ranking rewards are rare, they're just in‑game items that at most give a temporary edge over others, slightly boosting attributes.

Translation: "Even if ranking rewards are rare, they're just in‑game items that at most give a temporary edge over others with slightly stronger stats."

But that doesn't affect reality!

Translation: "But that doesn't affect reality!"

Only with the primordial ancestor's acknowledgment and blessing can one transcend into reality, becoming an extraordinary being!

Translation: "Only with the Primordial Ancestor's acknowledgment and blessing can one translate into the real world, becoming a path to transcend into an extraordinary being."

"Brother Qian Sha, what do you plan to do next?" Xiao Feng asked.

Translation: "\"Brother Qian Sha, what are you planning to do next? \" Xiao Feng asked."

Qian Sha said: "Just keep wandering; if I encounter strong opponents, I'll fight them. There are five days left—doing nothing would be too boring."

Translation: "Qian Sha said: \"Just keep wandering; if I see someone strong, I'll fight them. There are five days left—doing nothing would be too boring. \""

"Hmm, I also plan to go out and eliminate the stronger competitors first." Xiao Feng agreed.

Translation: "\"Yeah, I also plan to go out and eliminate the stronger competitors first. \" Xiao Feng agreed."

Both sides are now allies, playing on the Ancestor Ship Star.

Translation: "Both sides now count as allies, playing on Zu Jian Xing"

and will not attack each other before their families are wiped out.

Translation: "and will not attack each other until the players there are wiped out."

But as for others… it doesn't matter.

Translation: "As for others… well, it doesn't matter."

"Then let's go; since you've already killed No. 1 and No. 2, I'll go find the remaining war machines to play with."

Translation: "\"Alright, let's go—since you've already killed Number One and Number Two, I'll go find the remaining machine soldiers to play with. \""

Qian Sha laughed, drew a portal, and left himself.

Translation: "Qian Sha laughed, drew a portal, and left himself."

Xiao Feng originally wanted to tag along for the fun, and also to see what tricks Qian Sha had, preparing himself mentally.

Translation: "Xiao Feng had originally wanted to tag along for the fun, to see what tricks Qian Sha had up his sleeve, and do some mental preparation."

I didn't expect this guy to not bring him; after entering, he closed the portal, as if afraid Xiao Feng would steal his kills!

Translation: "I didn't expect this guy to not bring him; after entering, he closed the portal, as if afraid he'd steal his kills!"

"Tsk, stingy!" Xiao Feng muttered.

Translation: "\"Tsk, stingy! \" Xiao Feng muttered."

The heads of Ancestor Ship Star players are highly valuable, affecting the final personal performance evaluation.

Translation: "The heads of Zu Jian Xing players are quite valuable, affecting the final personal performance evaluation."

He's already gone through several rounds, and with the contributions from the Chaotic Era Ice River, his personal performance is basically locked in first place.

Translation: "He's already gone through several rounds, and with the contribution from the Chaotic World Ice River, his personal performance is also basically locked in first place."

Since Qian Sha wants to play alone, let him do so.

Translation: "Since Qian Sha wants to play alone, let him do so."

Just don't capsize!

Translation: "Just don't screw up!"

I'll also go out for a stroll; this time… let's change my form.

Xiao Feng muttered to himself, jumped into the water, and swam toward the direction of the light source.

After swimming several tens of meters, he floated up with the current.

This lake isn't large; at most it's no more than 3 kilometers across. The water quality lies between clear and turbid, and the lake holds many low-level fish, shrimp, and small aquatic creatures.

One side of the lakeshore is forest, the other side is steep cliffs, with a waterfall hanging in midair; the scenery is quite beautiful.

No one is fighting around; it's very quiet.

Xiao Feng flew out of the water, flying slowly, approaching the lakeside woods.

As he flew, he secretly wondered: "What animal should I turn into this time?"

The little sparrow has already been used; although it's handy, considering novelty, he still wants to try something else.

【Please select the animal you want to become!】

Opening the metamorphosis function, the system popped up a prompt.

Xiao Feng looked at the 36 animals on the interface, his gaze finally settling on a cat.

"That's it!"

A burly man couldn't resist the temptation of the short-legged cat; Xiao Feng transformed, turning from a handsome, suave male immortal into a kitten only 10 centimeters tall, round and chubby, fluffy, utterly adorable, an extremely cute young Munchkin cat.

"With these short legs, I'd probably trip over a carpet."

Feeling his four legs extremely clumsy after the transformation, Xiao Feng muttered to himself.

But to anyone listening, it wasn't just a sentence—it was a soft, cute "meow~".
