Chapter 48: Scenery-Lover Player

【Player Count: 10652】

Number of Meng Yuan Chu traits contained: 13

Shou Jili produced by players today: 68552 points

Average monster level of players: 7

Possessing Domain Node: Beneath Di Zhao Village (Flesh and Blood Reshaping).

After checking today's revenue situation, Qi Sheng nodded in satisfaction.

The players' growth speed is faster than expected; at this stage, one-fifth of the players have already opened their Second Star Vein, and the Shou Jili revenue produced is increasing day by day.

The only deficiency is that the Domain Node of the Dark Cave has yet to be captured.

After the player team advanced to the fifth layer underground, they fell into a bitter battle; the Corrosion Core, which had already developed consciousness, controlled the corpses of its fallen subordinates wielding ice blades to fight, making the players suffer greatly.

Several times they united to try to capture the Dark Cave in one go, but each attempt ended with the cost of total annihilation.

But in the foreseeable near future, the Domain Node of the Dark Cave will be purified and contained, becoming part of the expanded Beneath Di Zhao Village.

After this, the players will also face a major crisis.

According to intelligence feedback from the Guide's investigation, the Domain Node region where the Earth-Will Evil Spirit Warriors reside is drawing node energy to rapidly generate evil life forms.

In the near future, countless evil spirits will ravage the entire Beneath Di Zhao Mountain Range region.

Through communication between the Earth-Will Evil Spirit and the Evil Eye, Qi Sheng learned that their goal is to completely occupy all Domain Nodes in the Beneath Di Zhao Mountain Range region.

The Dark Cave, Spirit Artifact Valley, and other Domain Node regions will all be targets of the Earth-Will Evil Spirit.

At that time, the players will engage in a direct confrontation with the evil spirit army led by the Earth-Will Evil Spirit.

The time left for the players to develop is running out.

But Qi Sheng never cared about the influence of the Earth-Will Evil Spirit.

Among the powerful forces of the Terrifying Black Tide, there are many mighty evil spirits; the Earth-Will is merely an ordinary evil spirit warrior of commander rank, not a formidable opponent.

During the peak of the Four Great Servitors, the Earth-Will Evil Spirit was nothing more than an ant that could be crushed with a wave of a hand.

The evil spirit army it leads will only be the starting point for the players to conquer the vast Monster World, merely a stepping stone toward a magnificent stage of war.

Without thinking deeply about this issue, Qi Sheng switched to Beneath Di Zhao form at this moment.

After his body was wrapped in scarlet flames, his vision switched to the perspective of a player fed back by the Guide.

……

Beneath Di Zhao Mountain Range, northwest direction.

Hidden amidst surrounding scorching volcanoes lies a tranquil pool of water; under the light of the Evil Moon, it appears emerald green, clear to the bottom, where many creatures can be seen swimming in the pool.

【Challenger Notice: Exploration discovered a new region in the Beneath Di Zhao Mountain Range called "Wind-Wave Pool," obtaining a Shou Jili reward of 300 points.】

Hearing the prompt sound ring in his mind, Lu Xing, standing by the pool, could not hide the smile on his face.

Opening the map, a patch of mist in the northwest direction of the Ancient Battlefield was dispelled, revealing a new region centered on the pool, like an emerald embedded on the map.

Above it, three large characters were marked: "Wind-Wave Pool."

This was the first game region he explored and developed; it proved that exploration could also earn Shou Jili, and that hunting monsters and gathering resources were not the only viable paths.

For a Scenery-Lover Player, the joy of playing a virtual game lies not in competition and growth, but in appreciating the scenery along the way.

In this turbulent new world where various races stand side by side, the Human Federation does not recommend citizens leaving the city at will.

But Lu Xing's heart always harbored curiosity and longing for the unknown regions of the world; whenever travel was mentioned, an indescribable excitement would inevitably ignite within him.

This passion finally found its home in the virtual game.

The emergence of the virtual world filled a gap in his inner regrets.

After entering "Dark Lands," he discovered he had finally found a perfect travel game.

The realism of this world was beyond imagination; there were no issues like frame drops or lag; every step was incredibly real, and every breath allowed him to feel the unique atmosphere belonging to this world.

He was unclear how others played games, but his way of playing games had only one method.

Embarking on long journeys to witness the bizarre and colorful virtual world, collecting and piecing together hidden historical data about this world, witnessing the miraculous craftsmanship of nature in the fantasy world... this process was not merely sightseeing for him, but a spiritual dialogue with this world.

And the difficulties, challenges, and fatigue along the journey, even the occasional loneliness and confusion, were indispensable experiences in his eyes.

Stopping his steps, Lu Xing began to use the Guide's analysis ability to observe the surroundings.

Then he summoned the forum interface and recorded the information about the new plants he discovered on the forum section.

Recording was one of his goals during his travels.

The game forum did not have functions like a monster encyclopedia or a plant encyclopedia.

He felt he could completely share his hobby with other players through the method of recording.

Creating a monster encyclopedia and a plant encyclopedia for this game was a very good way to share, allowing other players to quickly find targets they wanted to hunt or locations to gather resources.

Over this past week, he had already recorded 32 encyclopedia entries and shared them in posts for other players to use.

There were three types of plants near the pool that had never been recorded; after copying the analysis information, Lu Xing edited and published it in the forum post.

Summoning the live stream screen, at this moment, 13 players in the death cooldown period were watching his travel live stream in the live room, with their comments left below.

One of the comments caught Lu Xing's attention.

I am a College Student: Bro, look quickly at the opposite side of Wind-Wave Pool; it seems something is looking at you, it's creepy!

Lu Xing immediately turned his head to look at the opposite side of the pool; he saw that across the shore, amidst vines and shrubs dotted with wildflowers, a pair of deep, dark green eyes was staring fixedly at him.

Lu Xing immediately stepped back two paces.

It was not fear of battle; along this journey, he had inevitably fought monsters and had died many times, returning to the resurrection point.

It was just that every death required a one-hour wait for resurrection; without a teleportation device, the path traveled would have to be retraced from the beginning, so he needed to avoid death as much as possible.

Earning Shou Jili to improve strength was also to cope with the risks along the journey.

"Guide, analyze."

But thinking about creating a complete monster encyclopedia database, Lu Xing ultimately did not choose to retreat and leave, but instead looked toward the Guide and spoke.

"The distance is insufficient; the target cannot be analyzed." The Guide explained in a lazy voice.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xing thought briefly, then gritted his teeth and walked toward the opposite bank.

Once the distance reached the analysis range, information about the hidden creature with dark green eyes floated into his mind.

【Strange Butterfly (Fourth-Generation Meng Yuan Chu)】:

Hunting Rank: 7

Guide Analysis: A Fourth-Generation Meng Yuan Chu monster that commands the power of the wind, has gained sentience, and can manipulate wind elements to fly, fight, or greatly increase its movement speed.

Personality Analysis: Bullies the weak and fears the strong; lazy.

Seeing the suffix "Fourth-Generation Meng Yuan Chu" after the monster's name, Lu Xing's heart panicked wildly.

But when he saw the Hunting Rank, his eyes immediately widened, and players in the livestream room began to shout out comments in surprise.

The gist of their message was: Put down this Meng Yuan Chu, let me have it!
