Chapter 213

Handing over the guild warehouse to three wealthy people, Xiao Feng prepared to leave.

However, just before leaving, he recalled that there was still one matter requiring the cooperation of the three guilds.

Then he said to Chu Long and the two others: "I just took on a big mission today, needing to lead a 100,000‑scale players' legion to fight the demon army on the Cold Wind Mountain Range battlefield; the exact rewards we can get for everyone are still unclear, so you can ask in your guilds to see if anyone wants to join."

As for the Demon‑Extermination Vanguard Grand Marshal task, his own reward is undoubtedly good.

But he doesn't know what the participants will receive.

If the three guilds' members are unwilling, he can only, in the name of the Number One God on the Level Ranking, go recruit players to participate.

But after thinking, it's probably not that difficult.

After all, the player base of the Dragon Nation is there; a mere 100,000 should be easy to recruit.

Shen Di, upon hearing this, said: "This is easy to say; we already have many people contributing in the Cold Wind Mountain Range. If you lead the team, everyone can get many mythic bosses for free—no one would refuse."

Chu Long and Zhan Tian share the same idea.

After receiving confirmation, Xiao Feng happily said: "Alright, when I want to go, I'll let you know at least an hour in advance."

The garrison defense battle has ended; now he has two important matters at hand.

First, complete his own war mission, and along the way bring Mang Mei to finish her legion mission as well.

Second, continue training, accumulate 1000 willpower points, and undergo the fifth transformation.

Neither is trivial; one requires a grand scene, the other consumes time.

Xiao Feng had just encountered the risk of being sealed; his mood wasn't great, so he wanted to go to the battlefield to cause trouble for those abyssal creatures and vent his frustration.

This time, I must surely throw out the apocalyptic calamity I couldn't use last time!

I must also definitely kill Mi He'er, whom I failed to kill last time!

Xiao Feng greeted them, took his fixed team members, and teleported away.

The five people, upon hearing his summons, knew they could again get some benefits, all became happy, and hurried to follow.

"Where are we going? The battlefield?" Li Li guessed Xiao Feng's thought.

The Demolition Team's garrison teleportation array leads directly to War City and can only reach War City; to go to other cities, one must wait for the garrison level to rise before unlocking permission.

The group stepped into the teleportation array and, in the next second, arrived at the War Main City.

However, they did not see Xiao Feng.

"Old Xiao, Old Xiao? Where is he?" Li Li looked at the players walking around the teleportation array, puzzled.

Xing Yun Miao blinked and said, "How did he go so fast? Did he teleport again?"

"Uh, even if he wanted to go fight, there's no need to rush like this..."

Li Li muttered.

Xiao Feng wasn't nearby; they teleported to the Firekeep Fortress on the Ashen Plains battlefield, but still couldn't find anyone.

"Old Xiao, where are you?" Zhang Fan, full of questions, hurriedly private messaged Xiao Feng.

But the sent message got no reply.

"What's going on, is Old Xiao shutting himself down after being threatened by the system?" Everyone frowned, suddenly unable to find him, inevitably feeling a bit worried.

"Let's wait a bit; he's still online, so it should be fine. If he logs off, we'll go comfort him." Zhang Fan said.

"Hmm, wait a few minutes for him."

The five people waited at the quartermaster of the Firekeep Fortress.

At that moment, Xiao Feng appeared in a strange place.

He entered the Demolition Team's garrison teleportation array, thinking he would reach the War Main City.

Unexpectedly, a flash of light passed, and the scene before him was different from what he expected.

He didn't reach the main city, but instead appeared in a hall!

This hall looks similar to the temple hall where the login interface displays game characters, only the lighting is a bit dimmer, like daytime with the lights off.

"What's going on? Where is this?" He opened the map to look, still thinking he had teleported to the wrong place.

Upon checking, he found himself actually located in the 'Unknown Land'!

Again, the Unknown Land!

The last time I encountered this place name, I was thrown into another dimension by the Wilderness Dog God!

Just as Xiao Feng frowned in doubt, a voice sounded behind him.

"This is the top floor of the Multiverse Tower."

The voice was young, calm, and somewhat familiar.

Xiao Feng turned around and saw a handsome young man sitting on the floor in the center of the hall, with a tea set laid out before him.

……Just a moment ago, there was nothing here at all!

"Who are you?" he asked doubtfully.

This man looked about twenty-something, quite handsome, almost catching up to Xiao Feng himself.

As soon as he spoke, he mentioned the 'Multiverse Tower' top floor; moreover, his voice sounded familiar, somewhat like the planner's voice that spoke after the garrison defense battle ended.

Could it be that this person is the planner of the game 'Multiverse'?

Xiao Feng quickly checked the man's information.

Upon seeing it, he was dumbfounded.

Now we need to produce translations for each line 【1】-【60】 in English, preserving meaning, not adding extra.

We must use glossary names exactly as provided for those terms. For other terms we translate meaning unless they are person names (then pinyin). Let's go line by line.

We'll need to decide on translations for each line, ensuring we keep numbers etc.

Let's start.

He handed over the guild warehouse to three rich people, and Xiao Feng prepared to leave.

Translation: "Hand over the guild warehouse to the three rich people, Xiao Feng then prepared to leave."

Check: "guild warehouse" = guild warehouse. "three rich people" = three rich people. "Xiao Feng then prepared to leave" = Xiao Feng then prepared to leave. Good.

However, just before leaving, he recalled that there was still one matter requiring cooperation from the three guilds.

Translation: "However, just before leaving, he remembered there was still one matter requiring cooperation from the three guilds."

He then said to Chu Long and his two companions: "I just received a major task today; I need to lead a player corps of 100,000 to fight the demon army on the Cold Wind Mountain Range battlefield. The exact rewards we can get for everyone are still unclear—you can ask in your guilds to see if anyone wants to join."

We need to keep quotes. Translation: "So he said to Chu Long and the two others: 'I just received a major mission today, needing to lead a player legion of 100,000 scale to fight the demon army of the Cold Wind Mountain Range battlefield; the exact rewards we can get for everyone are still unclear, you can ask in your guilds to see if anyone wants to join.'"

Regarding the Demon Vanguard Marshal mission, his personal reward is undoubtedly excellent.

But he was unsure what rewards the participants would get.

Let's produce: "So he said to Chu Long and the two others: 'I just received a major mission today, needing to lead a player legion of 100,000‑scale to fight the demon army of the Cold Wind Mountain Range battlefield; the exact rewards we can get for everyone are still unclear, you can ask in your guilds to see if anyone wants to join.'"

If the people from the three guilds are unwilling, he would only be able to rally players to participate under the title of the number one god on the Level Ranking.

Translation: "As for the Demon‑Extermination Vanguard Grand Marshal mission, his own reward is undoubtedly good."

But upon reflection, it probably isn't that difficult.

Translation: "But what the participants will receive, he is unclear."

Better: "But he doesn't know what rewards the participants will get."

After all, the Dragon Nation's player base is there; a mere 100,000 should be easy to recruit.

Translation: "If the people from the three guilds are unwilling, he can only summon players to participate under the title of the Number One God on the Level Ranking."

Shen Di heard and said: "This is easy to say; we already have many people farming contributions in the Cold Wind Mountain Range. With you leading the team, everyone can leech many mythic bosses for sure—no one would refuse."

Actually, after thinking about it, it's probably not that hard.

Translation: "But after thinking about it, it probably isn't that difficult."

After all, Longguo has a huge player base; recruiting just 100,000 should be a breeze.

Translation: "After all, the player base of the Dragon Nation is there; a mere 100,000 should be easy to recruit."

Chu Long and Zhan Tian had the same idea.

After receiving confirmation, Xiao Feng said satisfied: "Alright, then when I want to go, I'll inform you at least an hour in advance."

Translation: "Shen Di said upon hearing this: 'That's easy to say; we already have many people farming contributions in the Cold Wind Mountain Range. With you leading the team, everyone can leech many mythic bosses for free—no one would refuse.'"

The garrison defense battle has ended; now he has two relatively important matters at hand.

Zhulong and Zhantian share the same thought.

Translation: "Chu Long and Zhan Tian thought the same."

We need to keep person names as pinyin: Chu Long, Zhan Tian.

First, complete his own war mission, and incidentally bring Mang Mei to complete her legion mission as well.

Translation: "Having received confirmation, Xiao Feng said satisfied: 'Alright, then when I decide to go, I will notify you at least an hour in advance.'"

Second, continue training, accumulate willpower to 1000 points, and undergo the fifth transformation.

Translation: "The garrison defense battle has ended; now he has two relatively important matters at hand."

Both are no small feat; one requires a scene, the other takes time.

Xiao Feng had just faced the risk of being banned, his mood wasn't great, so he wanted to go to the Zhan Chang battlefield first to stir up trouble with those abyssal creatures to vent his frustration.

Translation: "First, complete his own war mission, and along the way bring Mang Mei to finish her legion mission as well."

Last time he couldn't unleash the apocalyptic calamity; this time he must definitely throw it out with force!

Last time he failed to kill Mihel; this time he must definitely kill him!

Translation: "Second, continue training, accumulate 1,000 willpower points, and undergo the fifth transformation."

"Old Li, Old Zhang, Miao Sister, Dun Dun, Mang Mei, we're leaving."

Xiao Feng greeted them, took his fixed team members, and teleported away.

Translation: "Neither is trivial; one requires a scene, the other consumes time."

Upon hearing his summons, the five knew they could again reap benefits, all were delighted and hurried to follow.

Translation: "Xiao Feng had just encountered the risk of being sealed; his mood wasn't great, so he wanted to first go to the battlefield to cause trouble for those abyssal creatures, to vent his frustration."

"Where are we going? The Zhan Chang battlefield?" Li Li guessed Xiao Feng's thought.

The teleportation array of the Demolition Team's garrison leads directly to War City, and can only reach War City; to go to other cities, one must wait for the garrison level to rise before unlocking permission.

Translation: "Last time he couldn't unleash the apocalyptic calamity; this time he must definitely throw it out with force!"

The group stepped into the teleportation array and arrived at the War Main City in the next second.

However, they did not see Xiao Feng.

Translation: "Last time he failed to kill Mi He'er; this time he must definitely kill him!"

We decided to keep pinyin for Mi He'er (assuming it's a name). We'll keep as Mi He'er.

"Old Xiao, Old Xiao? Where is he?" Li Li looked at the players walking around the teleportation array, puzzled.

Translation: "\"Old Li, Old Zhang, Miao Sister, Dun Dun, Mang Mei, we're leaving. \""

Xing Yun Miao blinked and said, "How did you go so fast? Did you teleport again?"

Thus line: "\"Old Li, Old Zhang, Miao Sister, Dun Dun, Mang Mei, we're leaving. \""

"Uh, even if you wanted to go fight, there's no need to rush like this..."

Translation: "Xiao Feng greeted, took the members of his fixed team, and teleported away."

Li Li muttered.

Xiao Feng wasn't nearby; they teleported to the Firekeep Fortress on the Ashen Plains Zhan Chang battlefield, but still couldn't find anyone.

Translation: "The five people hearing his summons knew they could surely get benefits again, each one delighted, they hurried to follow."

"Old Xiao, where are you?" Zhang Fan had a million questions and quickly private messaged Xiao Feng.

Translation: "\"Where are we going? The battlefield? \" Li Li guessed Xiao Feng's thought."

But no one replied to the message they sent out.

"What's going on, did Old Xiao become autistic after being threatened by the system?" Everyone frowned, suddenly unable to find him, inevitably worrying about him.

Translation: "The teleportation array of the Demolition Team's garrison leads directly to War City, and can only reach War City; to go to other cities, one must wait for the garrison level to rise before unlocking permission."

"Let's wait and see; he's still online, so it should be fine. If he logs off, we'll go comfort him." Zhang Fan said.

Thus line: "The teleportation array of the Demolition Team's garrison leads directly to War Chengshi, and can only reach War Chengshi; to go to other Chengshi, one must wait for the garrison level to rise before unlocking permission."

But "War Chengshi" sounds odd. However we must follow rules.

The five waited at the quartermaster of the Firekeep Fortress.

At this moment, Xiao Feng appeared in a strange place.

Thus we will treat city as Chengshi only when it appears alone. In lines we have "other cities", "War City", and "War Main City". We'll translate meaning: "other cities", "War City", "War Main City". That seems more natural.

We'll adopt that.

Now continue.

He did not reach the main city, but instead appeared in a hall!

Translation: "The group stepped into the teleportation array and arrived at the War Main City in the next second."

This hall resembled the temple hall where game characters are parked on the login interface, except the lighting was somewhat dimmer, like daytime with the lights off.

"What's going on? Where is this?" He opened the map to look, still thinking he had teleported to the wrong place.

Translation: "However, they didn't see Xiao Feng."

Upon checking, he found himself actually located in the "Unknown Land"!

Translation: "\"Old Xiao, Old Xiao? Where is the person? \" Li Li looked at the players walking around the teleportation array, puzzled."

Again, the Unknown Land!

The last time he encountered this place name, he was still blasted into another dimension by the Wilderness Dog God!

Translation: "Xing Yun Miao blinked and said, 'How did he go so fast? Did he teleport again?'"

Just as Xiao Feng frowned in confusion, a voice sounded behind him.

"This is the top floor of the Multiverse Tower."

Translation: "\"Uh, even if he wanted to go fight, there's no need to rush like that...... \""

The voice was young, calm, and somewhat familiar.

Translation: "Li Li muttered."

Xiao Feng turned around and saw a handsome young man sitting on the floor in the center of the hall, with a tea set placed before him.

Translation: "Xiao Feng wasn't nearby; they teleported to the Firekeep Fortress on the Ashen Plains battlefield, but still couldn't find anyone."

... Just a moment ago, there was nothing here at all!

"Who are you?" he asked, puzzled.

Translation: "\"Old Xiao, where are you? \" Zhang Fan had a bunch of question marks and hurried to private message Xiao Feng."

This man looked to be in his twenties, quite handsome, almost catching up to Xiao Feng himself.

As soon as he spoke, he mentioned the Multiverse Tower top floor, and his voice sounded familiar, somewhat like the planner voice that spoke after the garrison defense battle ended.

Translation: "But the sent message received no reply."

Could it be that this person is the planner of the game "Multiverse"?

Translation: "\"What's going on, has Old Xiao become autistic after being threatened by the system? \" Everyone frowned, suddenly unable to find him, inevitably feeling a bit worried."

Xiao Feng quickly checked the man's information.

Upon seeing it, he was dumbfounded.

Translation: "At that moment, Xiao Feng appeared in a strange place."

He went through the Demolition Team's garrison teleportation array, expecting to arrive at the War Main City.

Translation: "He entered from the Demolition Team's garrison teleportation array, expecting to arrive at the War Main City."

We need to keep "Demolition Team", "garrison", "Teleportation Array", and "War Main City".

I didn't expect a flash of light, and the scene before me was different from what I had imagined.

Translation: "He didn't expect a flash of light; the scene before his eyes was different from what he imagined."

He didn't reach the main city; instead, he appeared in a hall!

Translation: "He didn't reach the main city, but appeared in a hall!"

This hall resembles the temple hall where game characters are stationed on the login screen, though the lighting is a bit dimmer, like daytime with the lights off.

Translation: "This hall resembles the temple hall where game characters are parked on the login interface, only the lighting is a bit dimmer, like daytime with the lights off."

"What's going on? Where is this?" He opened the map to check, still thinking he had teleported to the wrong place.

Upon checking, he found himself actually located in the 'Unknown Land'!

Translation: "Upon checking, he found himself actually located in the 'Unknown Land'!"

We'll use English quotes for 'Unknown Land'.

It's the Unknown Land again!

Translation: "Again, Unknown Land!"

The last time I encountered this name, I was still blasted into another dimension by the Wilderness Dog God!

Translation: "The last time he encountered this place name, he was blasted into another dimension by the Wilderness Dog God!"

Just as Xiao Feng frowned in confusion, a voice sounded behind him.

Translation: "Just as Xiao Feng frowned in doubt, a voice appeared behind him."

"This is the top floor of the Multiverse Tower."

Translation: "\"This is the top floor of the Multiverse Tower. \""

We need to keep 'Multiverse Tower' and 'top floor'.

The voice was young, calm, and somewhat familiar.

Translation: "The voice was young, also calm, and somewhat familiar."

Xiao Feng turned around and saw a handsome young man sitting on the floor in the center of the hall, with a tea set placed in front of him.

Translation: "Xiao Feng turned and saw a handsome young man sitting on the floor at the center of the hall, with a tea set laid out before him."

"Who are you?" he asked doubtfully.

Translation: "\"Who are you? \" he asked doubtfully."

This man looks about twenty-something, quite handsome, almost catching up to Xiao Feng himself.

Translation: "This man looked about twenty-something, quite handsome, almost catching up to Xiao Feng himself."

We will translate it as 'Xiao Feng himself'.

As soon as he spoke, he mentioned the top floor of the Multiverse Tower, and his voice sounded familiar, somewhat like the voice of the planner who spoke after the garrison defense battle ended.

Translation: "As soon as he spoke, he said 'Multiverse Tower' top floor, and the voice sounded like he had just heard it, somewhat like the 'planner' voice that spoke after the garrison defense battle ended."

We need to keep 'Multiverse Tower', 'garrison defense battle', and 'planner'.

Could it be that this person is the planner of the game 'Multiverse'?

Translation: "Could it be that this person is the planner of the game 'Multiverse'?"

We need to keep 'Multiverse' as part of the title.

Xiao Feng quickly checked the man's information.

Translation: "Xiao Feng quickly checked the man's information."

Just looking at it left him dumbfounded.

Translation: "Just looking at it left him dumbfounded."

Creator God!

This damn… no, this handsome bastard, actually is the Creator God!

Sure enough, it's the planner?

"Young man, are you a little unhappy?" the Creator God asked with a light smile.

"Uh…"

Xiao Feng didn't know what the other was saying for a moment, and retorted, "Why would I be unhappy?"

The Creator God chuckled, "Over sixty billion experience just vanished like that—I could have leveled straight to 400, but I lost that chance; I'd be unhappy too."

Xiao Feng thought about it and agreed—he really was unhappy.

But… isn't the planner asking him that just digging a pit for him to jump into?

"It doesn't matter anyway; you've already handled everything, what else can I say?" He shrugged, indicating he was powerless to resist and could only lie flat.

"Looks like the resentment isn't small."

The Creator God looked at him, his face half-smiling.

He brewed a pot of hot tea, poured a cup each for himself and Xiao Feng, and said slowly, "Actually, wiping out this batch of experience isn't solely because the reward was too big and broke balance. There's another reason: it's for your own good."

"Oh? How so?" Xiao Feng expressed disbelief.

Gaining several hundred billion experience at once would break the game's balance, which he could understand.

As this Creator God said, with several hundred billion experience one could reach level 400, and the attribute points gained just from leveling would be enough to overwhelm many people.

All those advantages piled together would make other players feel terrible.

But saying it's for their own good… that's a bit pretentious!

The Creator God lifted his cup, took a sip of hot tea, and explained, "The growth of strength is best when gradual. This game isn't about level talk; strong willpower and understanding of cosmic rules matter more than level by more than ten times. Forcing growth only backfires, hindering the development of willpower."

"Uh…"

Xiao Feng froze, then said awkwardly, "Well… bro, I get that you want to make a good game. But… our playstyle is just our playstyle; dragging in cosmic rules is a bit over-the-top pretentious."

Willpower, cosmic rules and such…

Isn't that nonsense?

Do you really think the game's settings can be eaten as food and brought into the real world?

He tried it, and it simply doesn't work!!

Although the other party is a game planner with life-and-death authority over the game world, he still felt it necessary to remind them.

"Uh, heh~"

The Creator God blinked slightly, then burst out laughing.

Seeing Xiao Feng's well-intentioned reminder, he seemed to recall something and smiled, "You're right—it's indeed just a playstyle in the game. But if you want to play longer and go further, slowing down the leveling pace, focusing on understanding the various power rules in the game, and training your willpower is still very necessary."

"Yeah, high-end playstyle, I get it! Your internal tester named Shen Chuo told me that!" Xiao Feng nodded.

He picked up the tea and took a sip.

【Ding~ You consumed "Myriad Source Qi Tea", max HP +1,000,000!】

A system notification flashed by.

Xiao Feng froze completely.
