Could it pose a threat to our clan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The probability of it posing a threat to us is extremely low; if it wished, it could paralyze all defensive measures of the Moon Eater Clan at the lunar base right now, switch the energy supply, and expose the entire city to the universe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star Net paused in a very human-like manner at this point, then continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The information fed back to me by the Human Federation mentioned a cracked version of 'Dark Land,' so among the quotas distributed externally for Dark Land, there is a high probability that players who obtained quotas for free via links are mixed in, but I cannot trace through the links to determine exactly which players obtained the quotas... What puzzles me even more is why the mysterious existence that tampered with my laws would do so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it wished, it could completely control the distribution of Dark Land quotas without needing to distribute them via a cracked version; I would be unable to stop it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Star Net's explanation, Yue Dong fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this felt incomprehensible to him; not only were there no clues, but the behavioral logic of the manipulator behind the scenes was also impossible to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a long time, Yue Dong looked at the AI brain Star Net and spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Star Net, try to obtain a cracked version qualification through high-frequency connection methods to understand the differences between this cracked version and our official version.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do not recommend doing so; I rather suggest you try to obtain the download qualifications, which may be released at any time, through manual clicking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" Yue Dong frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since the unknown manipulator possesses higher authority than me, theoretically it can know all secrets on Star Net, including our conversation, which can be retrieved and viewed at any time; the cheating method would be fully known to the other party. The Human Federation's Security Department once chose the method you mentioned to attempt an investigation, but has yet to succeed, so I suggest you adopt the method of manual clicking to attempt to snap up the download qualifications.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand.\" Yue Dong sighed, then continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Notify the management department of Dark Land and have them attempt to investigate within the game whether any players have entered through other means.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will execute this immediately.\" The boy nodded, and then the projection dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Moon Eater Clan was extremely tense about the modification of Star Net's laws, Qi Sheng also received feedback from the Guide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning that the Moon Eater Clan had launched an investigation into him, Qi Sheng paid it no mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, members of the Moon Eater Clan would also be one of the target races for his player recruitment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The player faction he envisioned would be composed of multiple racial forces, competing against each other while also sharing common interests that required presenting a united front against external threats, continuously creating Sacrificial Power revenue for him in the Monster World, including containing Primordial Monsters and reclaiming Domain Nodes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, regarding the goal of recruiting alien races, he currently had no intention of executing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the current stage, the Sacrificial Power in his hands was limited, so priority was given to recruiting players in the Human Federation region; only when possessing sufficient Sacrificial Power would he consider members of other races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether the Moon Eater Clan would be willing to enter the game, he was not worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held bargaining chips and interests that no race could refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying Black Black Tide was gradually seeping into this world, affecting not just Earth, but also the Moon Eater Clan stationed on the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they wished to obtain the power to resist the terrifying Black Black Tide, he could bestow it, and could even grant various races the authority to bring abilities from the game back to reality, allowing them to possess the strength to cope with real-world crises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The precondition was becoming players under his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before the influence of the Black Black Tide's penetration was sufficient to threaten the safety of the various races, he did not wish to expose the secrets of the Monster World too early, wanting to preserve the aspect of players being unrestrained and full of creativity within the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the moment the truth was revealed, players who knew they could not truly die in the game would also be fearless and powerful, but he always felt something was missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was... the happiness unique only to players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Boss, your behavior closely resembles a type of fantasy life form in human story systems.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you trying to say?\" Qi Sheng turned his head to look at the Guide hovering beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I consulted a vast amount of information in the Human Federation's historical database and discovered that within the human mythological system, there exists a special life form called a demon; mortals can obtain wealth, power, and strength by selling their souls to demons... and the precondition for you bestowing power upon external races is making them become your bound workers, which closely resembles the conduct of a demon.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you say so, then so be it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng said indifferently, and as he was about to switch his vision to the player's perspective, he heard the Guide sigh with emotion:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When traveling abroad, beware of fellow townsfolk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Sheng: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1548,"2026-06-19T09:20:35.554Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5ad0f6a3a3a2bfe7e4fb272df5a9f4f749f24c40f66a723f83b0257bb62e3e35","monsters-are-coming-chapter-48","monsters-are-coming-chapter-46",393,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmonsters-are-coming-cover.jpg"]
