requires regular supplementation (once every 3-5 years).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hormonal Balance Adjustment: Restores youthful endocrine levels, boosting metabolism and immunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Biological Enhancement and Function Optimization (Optional):\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muscle and Bone Strengthening Surgery: Implants high-strength biological composite materials (customizable for different races) to enhance physical endurance and anti-aging capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neural Reaction Enhancer: Improves brain cognitive ability and reaction speed, delaying neural degeneration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immune System Upgrade: Artificially cultivates super immune cells (using biological databases provided by each race), capable of resisting all viruses and cancer cells known on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dormancy Delay Technology: Cryogenic Dormancy Pod: Short-term (1-10 years) or long-term (50+ years) dormancy, reducing metabolism to a near-stagnant level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reviewing the service projects provided by the Erosion Clan in detail, there were a total of 339 items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one wanted to purchase every single project, the total cost would be 130 million Earth Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the wealthy, this was obviously insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it could extend life, they would be willing to spend any amount of money; even a tenfold price increase would not be an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Ji Chen, he was penniless and simply could not afford it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, applying was not easy; the Erosion Clan had limited external quotas each year, and even after a successful application, one had to travel to the moon to undergo the procedures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, recently the Erosion Clan had additionally opened a batch of projects where medical services could be purchased with Sacrificial Power (calculated in real-time ratios), allowing one to bypass the queue and appointments to go directly to the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These extra quotas were obviously a means for the Erosion Clan to obtain Sacrificial Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so what if he knew the truth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wanted to extend his life, he had to spend Sacrificial Power to buy these projects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to enter the game immediately to save up Sacrificial Power, then go to Erosion City to purchase all the packages for body repair and life extension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calculated at current prices, even with the discount for purchasing with Sacrificial Power, it would still cost 200,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was afraid he would have to save for a while; from now on, he would have to double his efforts in hunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he rose from his seat, Ji Chen suddenly thought of a more convenient method for body repair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether real-world technology could repair his body was unknown, but if it was the Monster World, there were plenty of ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Healing potions in the Mall, life-attribute spiritual plants in the Trading Row, and various external items capable of treating the body—these were all things that could quickly restore his health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his physical body in reality could not go to the Monster World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He possessed the Spirit Coffin Space as a transit station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, could he store healing potions purchased from the Monster World Mall, or even other spiritual plants that could help repair his damaged body, into the Spirit Coffin Space, then return to reality to open the Spirit Coffin Space and extract them for use in the real world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically, doing this could easily repair all the hidden ailments within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this action seemed to carry risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were truly possible to transport things from the Monster World to reality, the Erosion Clan, which mastered spatial technology, would have done so long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I advise you not to do this; without the permission of a High-Dimensional God, your actions are extremely risky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Chen, lost in deep thought, was startled by the voice that suddenly rang out in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Star Net, you haven't left? Also, you can actually read my thoughts?\" Ji Chen said irritably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I cannot read your thoughts; I merely detected that you just searched for medical service projects, and connecting this with the Spirit Coffin Space you created in the game that can link to reality, I surmised you might have similar ideas. Just now, by observing the hesitation that appeared in your facial expression changes via the monitoring in the house, there was an 87.92% probability that you were pondering this issue, so I came specifically to remind you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the Star Net's explanation, Ji Chen sighed in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed this shortcut was destined to be unfeasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, Star Net, how do you know I created a Spirit Coffin Space imprint in the Monster World?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Chen suddenly realized something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only he himself should know about the creation of the Spirit Coffin Space imprint; no matter how powerful the Star Net was, it could only manage reality, so how could it know what he had done in the game?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guessed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Chen did not delve deeper into this question; he asked again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Star Net, will the Erosion Clan help me treat the hidden ailments in my body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can try, but no extra permissions will be granted to you; if you want related medical technical services, you can purchase them with Sacrificial Power; Erosion City welcomes your consumption.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then can you give me a friend discount?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, there is no friendship between you and me; talking about Sacrificial Power is more practical.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Chen: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After calling out to the Star Net again, he found the Star Net had fallen silent once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helpless, he could only walk toward the game pod, planning to enter the game first to earn Sacrificial Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the services of the Erosion Clan could only be purchased with money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, thinking carefully, even if he wanted to do so, he lacked the ability to achieve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Spirit Coffin Space imprint remained within his body, he had already returned to Earth; to connect with the Spirit Coffin Space created by the Dragon-Blooded in the other world, he would need to perform an inter-spatial dial-up just like in the Monster World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting to re-establish the connection would require consuming a massive amount of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where would he find that much energy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could seek help from the Data City Administrator, but if he proposed this idea, it would most likely be rejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Human Federation did not have many spiritual resources either; how could they possibly expend a large sum of spiritual resources on him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one solution: earn money in the game, spend it in reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, he would be a game gold-farming player for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he resolved his worries, he would devote all his energy to the growth of his player body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would just wait for the wall between virtual and reality to shatter, and for the ant to become a dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst surging thoughts, the lid of the game pod slowly slid down, and Ji Chen's vision was gradually shrouded in darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, he remembered something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these past few days of deeply researching the background data of the Monster World, he discovered that the environment of the Monster World fit very well with the \"Legendary World\" described by the Dragon-Blooded, possessing endless resources and wealth, various ruins and secret treasures, and numerous powerful races mastering rule-based forces competing for the peak in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were many external forces that had descended, wanting to break through the limits already touched in their minor worlds on the larger platform of the Monster World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at it this way, the Monster World was very likely the \"Legendary World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, his Dragon-Blooded brother was probably striving in the Monster World right now, wasn't he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Ji Chen's mood suddenly became excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Primordial Sacrificial Altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng had been paying attention to Ji Chen's situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was only brief attention; afterward, he paid him no more heed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he cared about more was the combination and use of the series of otherworldly abilities and Soul Imprints that Ji Chen had mastered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After linking these ability combinations with Soul Imprint characteristics, they could indeed produce decent effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after simulation testing, he abandoned the idea of constructing this ability template.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such abilities were only effective in low-intensity warfare during testing; they were meaningless in high-end battle situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Monster World, this cruel battlefield where everyone was cheating, ordinary abilities had various limitations that could not be broken through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The telekinesis used by Ji Chen seemed very strong, but in reality, it posed no threat to top-tier powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, if Ji Chen used telekinesis to challenge the Combat Insect Race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would not take long for this ability to be completely exempted, never again able to cause any damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Black Tide also possessed similar abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All-system troop types could easily generate counter-type troop units.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main reason players were never ability-countered when clashing with the Earth Telekinetic Bullies was that the players were all using rule-based abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also caused many players to not feel that Black Black Tide evil entities were difficult to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But switching the perspective to external forces clashing with the Black Black Tide, one could very intuitively see how terrifying the all-system troop types of the Black Black Tide evil entities were; in any form of warfare, they could perfectly counter opponents in terms of system, even suppressing the opponent's most advantageous abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the core reason Qi Sheng gave up creating various small skills to be used in combination with Soul Imprint characteristics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt Sacrificial Power should not be wasted on meaningless low-level powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, there would only be collisions between cheats and cheats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you do not cheat, you are destined to be eliminated by cheating powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng, who had briefly paid attention to Ji Chen, shifted his gaze at this moment to the Player Forum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This recruitment cycle brought in two million players, pushing the total headcount to three million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosive growth in player numbers caused the most obvious change: a surge in the volume of forum posts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Posts recruiting for friend groups, posts recruiting for societies, posts from novices seeking help... threads of every type kept emerging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made scrolling through the forum extremely strenuous for many players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This differed from the spam-Cultivation Mode of the regional chat channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The player forum updated via refreshes; once a refresh ended, the listed posts remained fixed on the interface, and new threads would not automatically pop up without another refresh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the number of posts grew, finding the specific types of threads one hoped to see became difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from posts published by those on a follow list, players normally scrolling the forum would encounter much content that held no interest for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Qi Sheng realize it was time to update the player forum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With only three million players now, this problem would become increasingly prominent as the player count grew in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing he thought of was using big-data recommendation algorithms to optimize the distribution of forum content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advantage of this model was obvious: it could provide players with the content they wanted to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By analyzing data such as players' browsing duration and frequency of interactions, the Guide could quickly build user profiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combat-focused players would see more videos related to the Ancient God Arena and hunting; life-skill players would more easily encounter videos on preparing spiritual food meals; exploration-focused players would more readily see features on the scenery of different regions, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could also precisely push posts from creators with different specialties to players who had needs in those areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, Qi Sheng chose to abandon this idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the convenience lay the hidden problem of the \"information cocoon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When players relied entirely on content pushes, they would gradually form an information cocoon, making it difficult for them to access content from other fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, if a player, after experiencing the Spiritual Chef gameplay for a while, suddenly wanted to become a hunting-focused player, they would find it hard to scroll up corresponding posts; instead, they would still be pushed content related to Spiritual Chefs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To address the needs of players from different schools of play, Qi Sheng decided to segment the forum into categorized sections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tentatively planned to divide it into ten sections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were as follows:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Main Section: Player Forum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All posts published by players would be updated in the Main Section; this would also be the players' primary communication channel in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sub-sections: Peak Duel (for Arena enthusiasts), Book of Worlds (for Explorers), Covenant Alliance (for Society and team recruitment), Artisan Workshop (for Spiritual Chefs and life-skill professions), Trading Market (for spiritual plants, spiritual ore stones, and price discussions), Tower of Truth (for researchers and guide enthusiasts), Novice Guide (for answering novice questions), Jianghu Grudges (for player gossip), Endless Trial (for dungeon content discussion; current dungeons: Death Space).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the player forum was still built around the Main Section as its core, the addition of detailed sub-sections would better help players with specific needs lock onto the content they wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a solution Qi Sheng conceived after abandoning the big-data model.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, as players developed their systemic schools of play, more new sections would be added to the sub-sections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having formed the idea, he acted immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This update did not trigger a challenger notification across all channels; before long, the optimization of the forum interface was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players soon noticed the changes to the forum and began discussing them extensively in the Main Section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the forum update, Qi Sheng's gaze shifted to a post on the forum whose popularity was skyrocketing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From posting to reaching number one on the forum's heat ranking took only eight minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Help! My account has been stolen! How do I solve this problem? Is my account really unrecoverable?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poster: Dui Dui Zuo Zhe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Content:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(T_T) Tears are streaming uncontrollably as I write this post; I simply cannot control them. You absolutely cannot imagine what I have been through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might even think this is a clickbait post using a sensationalist title just to lure you in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in the Monster World, the possibility of an account being stolen simply does not exist; if an account were truly stolen, one would lose the permission to post on the forum, so how could one still open a thread to complain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the fact is, my account really was stolen; this is absolutely certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, I will explain in detail my outrageous ordeal; brothers of the forum, you must stand up for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I suppose I count as an veteran player; I obtained my game qualification when the Winter Snowfield scenario was opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My early start was incredibly smooth, so much so that I felt I was the chosen one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I went on a rampage, slaughtering Bliss players and Bliss evil spirits, but at level 36, I was kicked out of the scenario by the Lord of Bliss (actually, I didn't want to leave at all; pulling hair daily with my friend group against the Bliss Legion was so much fun; every day was high-octane combat. Once outside the novice village, it was gods fighting gods everywhere, especially in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range; the scenario difficulty was too high).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being forcibly ejected from the Winter Snowfield novice village, I fell into deep thought, wondering where my future lay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, I had two choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first choice was to follow the sisters I met on the Winter Snowfield battlefield to the Underground World and live a life of opening dungeon blind boxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was indeed a good choice, and I did consider it; naturally, I couldn't just abandon the friend group I had worked so hard to build, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second choice was to follow a friend I got along with on the forum and join the \"Wind of Freedom\" Society, starting from the Colorful Mist Coast, and in the future gradually attempt to head toward the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range to fight the bullies (rolls up sleeves to fight.jpg).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it turned out, I chose neither of these two paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because my lucky koi constitution activated, I incredibly fortunately drew a \"Death Space Key.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(≧ω≦) I was so excited at the time; I didn't expect to have such fate with the Lord of Bliss. Just after leaving the Winter Snowfield battlefield, I was about to return to the embrace of the Lord of Bliss again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>o(｀oメ) It was time to thoroughly fleece the Lord of Bliss once more (Explorer's serious expression.jpg).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make this dungeon journey go smoothly, I frantically scrolled through forum guides to understand the intelligence on Death Space in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I prepared to go all out, ready to carry a sack to the Lord of Bliss's home to fill it with money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the dungeon key had a time limit; before I was fully prepared, I was forced to enter the dungeon space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(T▽T) Damn that old hag of a bully; the seeds of tragedy were sown at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This round of the Death Space experience was too fast, so fast that it didn't follow the script I had set for myself at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a critical hit right from the start; the initial trial dungeon was not any of the scenarios mentioned by the guide experts on the forum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So... I had drawn a no-guide dungeon; I was so happy I wanted to log off, hug my cat, and cry my eyes out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even worse, as soon as I entered, I encountered two brutal older brothers who bullied us newcomers in every way (if this were in the Monster World, I would punch each one to death and kill them all).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire experience was extremely poor; I could only act as an accessory in the team, drifting along with the current.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout, I kept thinking: if only I could inherit the power of my Player Body, I would surely be able to slaughter my way through the entire run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this frail body I have now, I can do nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every step had to be taken with extreme caution; I thought I at least had to pass one round of trials, earn some profits, and then leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was detestable was that my caution was seen as cowardice by those brutal older brothers, who always made me walk in front to explore dangerous areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I luckily dodged danger a few times, but who could know if luck would continue to favor me the next time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was so angry I nearly wanted to flip out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In my heart, I viciously swore: You few bastards, whatever you do, don't graduate and head to the Monster World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, I will definitely make you pay; once we are in my home turf, you will all die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, I did not escape the fate of being sacrificed; during the arduous pioneering, I suffered an abdominal wound, blood gushing out, and my teammates decisively chose to abandon me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ヽ(`Д) However, before dying, I finally could not endure it anymore and cursed my teammates out loud, which at least let out a breath of my pent-up rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus ended my Bliss Player Experience Ticket; calculating the profits from this run: 0 Sacrificial Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Experience Ticket truly meant experiencing only the process, returning home without taking a single point of Sacrificial Power with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to the village, I was mocked by my friends for a long time; they said it would have been better to group up with them for hunting, as I had wasted a lot of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But my personality is one that refuses to admit defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The characteristic of gaming is that if you lose, you keep playing; the more you lose, the more you want to start another round; you only feel comfortable once you have won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did this failure mean to me? As a player, I still had the chance to start over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, I embarked on a path of no return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, I consulted every guide post related to Death Space, determined to become a top-tier dungeon enthusiast player who could clear Death Space (Explorer clenches fist inspiringly.jpg).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, I must proudly say one thing: my efforts bore fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After day and night studying guides, I mastered in detail the clearing strategies for various trial dungeons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also learned many experts' approaches to solving dungeons, learning how to lead a team with the image of a wise man and establish a good team atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was ready; all that was missing was the qualification for the Death Dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, my lucky koi constitution responded to my call, once again delivering the dungeon qualification for Death Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ヾ(≧▽≦)ノ Everything is ready; let's depart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shouldered my sack once more, becoming a wanderer leaving home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Target: The Lord of Bliss's home; preparing to load up, swearing that this time I must fill the sack completely before returning home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hard work and effort gave me a decent return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, I cleared three rounds of trials, with total earnings of 59,000 Sacrificial Power, making me rich in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for bad luck, where I was ambushed by an enemy squad in the fourth round of trials, I could have continued carrying my sack to fill it further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This success also made me fall in love with the Death Dungeon gameplay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure brought by every tense moment in the dungeon gave me intense stimulation, which then transformed into unparalleled euphoria upon successful clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When exchanging glances with teammates, the joy of surviving a disaster was in each other's eyes, along with anticipation for the upcoming enhancements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if what we had jointly conquered was not merely a dungeon, but fate itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each successful clear brought a full sense of accomplishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after returning to the village, I continued to work hard, repeatedly reviewing my performance in Death Space to find areas for improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Believing I would perform even better next time, I even joined a dungeon enthusiast group, chatting daily with the group members about various techniques for Death Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had never been this diligent even during my school exams back in the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through my unremitting struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, my divine art is complete; I can recite the walkthrough backward and forward and draw inferences from one instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made me happy was that during this stage, the quota for Death Space also increased, and my probability of being drawn began to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After I was fully prepared, my Koi Constitution once again displayed its mighty power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dungeon qualification appeared exactly when I needed it most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the early hours of the morning, with a single tap, I effortlessly obtained the Lord of Blessings' Joy Voucher (hands on hips, proud).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well then, it is time to make my entrance as a powerhouse and begin my dungeon journey of slaughtering in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to describe this round of dungeon experience? To sum it up in two words: indiscriminate killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although my teammates were weak, with three of them even being treacherous, I, having mastered the detailed walkthrough, was essentially a cheater carrying the team throughout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several batches of teammates died during the process, but I remained as steady as an old dog, finally fighting my way into the Graduation Exam (Ultimate Trial).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the Graduation Exam, I performed beyond expectations, beating the entire opposing squad into dogs, clearing the stage without taking any damage, and receiving an Excellent Graduation Certificate issued by the Lord of Blessings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was overjoyed at the time, because next, as a Bliss Player, I would head to the Monster World to continue fleecing the Lord of Blessings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After graduation, I chose to part ways with my original teammates and embark on a solo exploration journey, because I enjoy thrill-seeking, while my teammates are all cowards who hide to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who follow different paths cannot make plans together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a tragedy occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn the grandmother of that Earth Bully; my Koi Constitution ceased to function after graduation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The early stage went quite smoothly; I completed missions in two scenarios and used all the resources gifted by the Lord of Blessings to strengthen my power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the older brothers in the group chat had said never to keep points in your possession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by converting them into personal strength can you bring them back to the village as Sacrificial Power after death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have always acted accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to my efforts, the value of this life has already surpassed 130,000 Sacrificial Power; returning to the village would make me instantly rich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was until the third Monster World mission, when I was sent to the Dungeon World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The initial exploration went very smoothly, and I encountered a fellow villager from my own hometown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They say when you are away from home, you must guard against fellow villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn't take it to heart; we were all brothers from the same faction, so everything could be negotiated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, I was truly backstabbed by that fellow villager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It started when we simultaneously discovered a relic treasure within the Dungeon World scenario; at the time, I thought we could discuss it amicably and work out a reasonable distribution plan where everyone who saw it got a share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before I could even open my mouth, my fellow villager suddenly wore a ferocious expression, his eyes blazing with murderous light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That vicious look clearly indicated he was preparing to do something evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It startled me so much I jumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, my fellow villager flew straight at me, executing a Spirit-Sealing Interrupt, striking me unconscious with a heavy hammer, then using Shadow Clone combined with Rapid Area Attack to instantly stack the Forbidden Blade trait to its limit; before I could even begin to counterattack, I was sent back to the little black room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, I was nearly exploding with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We were all fellow villagers from the same village, seeing each other every day; how could he be so vicious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although killing to seize treasures is common in games, we were at least from the same faction; unlike other games, there was no distinction of hostile factions here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since I was already dead, complaining would not change the fact of my death; my dungeon experience under the Lord of Blessings had ended prematurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as I was happily about to open my sack (summoning the log and backpack interface) to see how much Sacrificial Power I had earned from this round's struggles to take home... the sky collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I discovered that my death feedback reward was actually: -10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was so scared I thought a bug had occurred; completely panicking, I immediately contacted Brother Guide to inquire about the situation, hoping for a remedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As you can probably guess, here is the result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guide stated that Sacrificial Power was indeed fed back after the dungeon character's death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was not fed back to me, but to the player who killed me; the priority of hunting exceeds that of one's own death feedback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because, at the time, my fellow villager was in a Player body, while I was in a Bliss Player body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, the smurf account I had worked so hard to train in Death Space was farmed like a monster by my own fellow villager, with all the profits swept away by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this news, I felt as if the sky had truly collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I cried so loudly it shook heaven and earth, my heart breaking into pieces; tears flowed like water from an opened valve, and snot bubbles popped more frequently than goldfish blowing bubbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used three packs of tissues; the pile of paper used to wipe my Iron Face was large enough to serve as a sacrificial offering for \"Big Daddy Di Zhao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While writing this post, I grew sadder and sadder; it was truly miserable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dungeon account I worked so hard to cultivate in Death Space should have been worth at least 160,000 Sacrificial Power in rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was supposed to be the inheritance passed to my main account, but now my own fellow villager had hacked my account, stealing the entire inheritance and leaving me with nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, and I was also deducted 10 points of Sacrificial Power as a death resurrection fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Writing up to this point, I cannot stop my tears; let me cry for a while before continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",4968,"2026-06-19T09:20:37.851Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0a6b60e927b30f9fd8f0d58ae5bd063ccb80009717d567c03ee1df0d5768215c","monsters-are-coming-chapter-272","monsters-are-coming-chapter-270",393,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmonsters-are-coming-cover.jpg"]
