Chapter 141: Time flies swiftly

The Dream Realm Genesis Permit was corrupted by nightmares, some game administrators rebelled, and all these things together kept the Dream Management Bureau swamped; you were also forcibly dragged into a meeting by Bai Zhou, who in his view considers your status equal to that of a legendary player.

At the meeting, you saw all the legendary players, but there were only nine, which made you puzzled—wasn't there supposed to be thirteen legendary players?

Your question was soon answered; Bai Zhou told you that four legendary players had already sacrificed themselves, which surprised you greatly.

In the ensuing meeting, Bai Zhou clarified the next steps, which included seizing game control rights and accelerating the progress of attacking the X game.

As expected, you received the task; Bai Zhou seemed confident in your ability, so he specially assigned you part of the mission to reclaim some game control rights and promised you many rewards.

"It's fine, don't doubt your strength; earlier, you almost killed me with one punch," he said when you asked Bai Zhou, his expression resentful, like a wronged little wife.

And reclaiming game control rights is even simpler than clearing a game—just use the management certificate Bai Zhou gave you to find the game world's administrator and strip their permit, and you'll have recovered the permit.

Game administrators control part of the game's permit and possess genuine cheat-like abilities; their strength in the game world is especially great, so for others this might be a difficult task, but you, this panel monster, happen to be able to counter them—which is probably why Bai Zhou sent you.

For you, this task poses no inconvenience; you just need to, while clearing other games, casually take out a game administrator, without delaying your normal progress.

The current situation is not optimistic; Bai Zhou specially asks you to speed up your game progress and warns you to be careful of those administrators.

Anyone who becomes an administrator is our enemy; for now they merely haven't broken with the Player Management Bureau, but their existence is certainly a major hidden danger.

In the first month, the Legendary Player team cleared the A‑rank roguelike game "Hot Snow," and Liu Delie and Yu Xiaomo successfully advanced to A‑rank master players.

In the second month, you completed the full clearance of both B‑rank and A‑rank games, earned two diamond badges, and—accidentally—killed two rebellious administrators, harvesting a powerful nightmare, which left you very satisfied.

Half a year later, you cleared the SS‑rank game "Magic Soul 3," advanced to SS‑rank master player, and the nightmare incident and administrator betrayal incident, handled by Bai Zhou and others, gradually diminished until they disappeared.

Everything returned to normal; it seemed the matter was perfectly resolved, but anyone who knows a bit of the inside story knows that time, alas, is probably running out....

Age 20: Under your leadership, the Legendary Player team cleared the S‑rank game "Sword Immortal," and Liu Delie and Yu Xiaomo advanced to S‑rank master players, their strength greatly increased!

Time flew like water; half a year passed again, and you obtained the badge for fully clearing the S‑rank game, for which you spent a great deal of time.

The higher the game's level, the more supernatural power increases, but the difficulty also doubles geometrically—filthy monsters cover the map, and there are disgusting puzzle mechanisms, all of which give you a terrible headache.

Fortunately, you have Dark Blade and Arcane as your wise companions; with them, you increasingly feel like you've become a brute just like Liu Delie...

You are now just one step away from becoming a legendary player, and Bai Zhou told you that only three legendary players currently able to obtain the Genesis Permit exist; adding you makes four, which is why he values you so highly.

Time passed again; two months later, a humanoid nightmare invaded once more, this invasion's strength unprecedentedly great, though small in scale, it nearly got Liu Delie killed, leaving him with lingering fear, and he dug out the Arcane Dictionary again to study.

Before, he only knew how to gnaw a big melon with one hand; stronger spatial and world magics were beyond his level to learn, but after this incident it also served as a reminder to him.

Likewise, you also have some lingering fear, so you deliberately sent two administrator nightmares to protect them; Yu Xiaomo made the most progress, her infinite load module granting her a qualitative leap after upgrading all modules to SSS rank, especially her summoned beasts, which are extremely strong—so much so that they can barely contend with your nightmare legion.

Age 21: The difficulty of SS‑rank games exceeds imagination; even your clearing speed as a panel monster inevitably slowed, let alone Yu Xiaomo and Liu Delie, and the three of you finally began to sync your progress after a long time.

This year had no major mishaps, but unexpectedly many good things happened; first and foremost, the number of legendary players increased by two again, these two newly promoted legendary players gave the bureau great encouragement, and whenever Bai Zhou sought you he wore a smile, letting you feel a rare ease after a long time.

In the following period, you teamed up with Liu Delie and Yu Xiaomo to start clearing SS‑rank games; wanting to become an SSS‑rank legendary player is simple in theory but hard in practice—you must pick two of five SSS‑rank games to clear, and upon success you can immediately choose to become a legendary player.

Exactly, it's a choice—you can directly promote or continue clearing to boost strength—but once you become a legendary player, your subsequent task is one and only one: clear the X‑rank game "Nightmare."

But saying it's easy doesn't make it so; many players spend their lives stuck in the intermediate player tier, let alone entering the master tier's A‑rank and above games, and all year you've been continually clearing SS‑rank games.

Finally....
