Combined with different Soul-Bound characteristics, Qin Ye became increasingly certain of a growth path centered on crafting Psionic bombs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he found no answer in the Test Tower’s Soul-Bound library regarding how to prevent the blast from affecting himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When in doubt, ask the Guide. Qin Ye chose to seek a solution from the Guide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the inquiry, the surface of the Guide’s water sphere displayed a human-like expression of contemplation. Its manifested palm propped up its chin, rubbing it repeatedly before it spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The Test Tower’s Soul-Bound database only records a portion of Primordial abilities. A vast number of unknown Primordial abilities are scattered throughout the Monster World. What is certain is that there must be Primordial abilities of the spatial teleportation type. If you can obtain such an ability, you will definitely be able to achieve cross-spatial teleportation.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【For example, if you open a spatial channel in front of you, you could toss a Psionic bomb into it to teleport it to a distant location for a precise explosion.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the Guide’s explanation, Qin Ye immediately became interested:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where can I hunt Primordial monsters that possess spatial abilities?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【I cannot answer that question. The Monster World is vast and boundless. After the Black Tide swept through, the world's geography changed drastically. Finding where specific Primordial monsters with certain abilities are scattered is completely unknown. If you are lucky, they might be in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range region; if you are unlucky, they might be in the extremely distant Great North Territory.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qin Ye was instantly stunned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there no function to locate Primordial abilities?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Perhaps there will be in the future, provided that you can recapture the Node Territories that possess Primordial-locating abilities.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So where are the Node Territories that can locate Primordial abilities?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【I don't know.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ye: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a notification rang in Qin Ye's mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Challenger Notification: Important notification detected from the virtual game pod. Do you wish to exit to view it?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving the prompt, Qin Ye did not hesitate and immediately exited the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Sky Research Center held a meeting because of an email Qin Ye had sent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member who received the email, after reading its contents and realizing that the attached address allowed for the download of a cracked version of Dark Lands, decisively relayed this news to the Sky upper management.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to the surprise of the upper management, the download link actually had permission restrictions, making it impossible to download.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They decisively reported this issue to the Network Security Center, hoping they could bypass the permissions to help complete the download.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the feedback received was that the Security Center’s AI had no permission to bypass the restrictions behind the link, and they could only wait for the download permissions to be actively opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member who received the reply then chose to send a message to Qin Ye, hoping he could copy and send the downloaded file to the Sky R&D Center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qin Ye's reply disappointed the Sky Center once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The downloaded game file was locked by permissions and could not be sent to the Sky Center via transmission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the Sky Center’s upper management decided to monitor the link's status at all times, waiting for the download permissions to open again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this news was relayed to the Weapons R&D Department of the Sky R&D Center, the weapons R&D personnel were completely unsettled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it could truly achieve the 100% virtual reality mentioned in the email, this was simply a perfect testing ground for dangerous weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night at 11:50 PM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the time for the new round of qualification distribution on the Dark Lands official website, with the Human Federation having 1 million spots available for purchase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of gray-haired elders at the Sky Center-Weapons R&D Department opened the official website on time to wait for the purchase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time reached 12:00 AM, and the countdown numbers on the official website page returned to zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purchase of qualifications ended in less than 1 second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, inside the Weapons Laboratory-A1 office, an old man sat at a desk, staring at the screen. His hair was sparse and messy, and he wore a blue uniform, but his eyes were exceptionally spirited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the failure notification that popped up on the webpage, Yang Tianxuan couldn't help but shake his head in regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difficulty of purchasing qualifications truly gave him a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before this, he had thought about using technology, but no script could read the official website's information, making it completely unfeasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the content of the email Qin Ye sent, which confirmed that the game perfectly simulated reality and could be used to conduct various dangerous weapon experiments there, he only felt an unbearable itch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An absolutely safe experimental site—this was simply the dream sanctuary for their Weapons R&D Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nano-viruses, meteorological weapons, sky-curtain weapon arsenals... A large amount of advanced technology provided by alien races could not be tested because the R&D testing carried certain risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, meteorological weapons: casually manipulating weather changes could very likely lead to a catastrophic moment for Earth's ecology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in a 100% realistic game environment, the weapons in their concepts could all be tested, and then applied to reality once the technology was fully mature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would prevent a series of serious environmental destruction and personal dangers that might occur during the immature stages of technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem was that the Dark Lands game qualifications were too hard to grab. He had already applied to the higher-ups several times, hoping the Human Federation would obtain extra game qualifications through diplomatic forms, but he hadn't received any reply to this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purchase failed again, and Yang Tianxuan felt helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, he suddenly thought of the email address Qin Ye had sent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately opened the mailbox on his virtual desktop and clicked the address attached to the email.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The popped-up webpage was very simple, an almost completely blank page, with only a clickable download compressed package in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time Yang Tianxuan clicked to download, Qi Sheng received feedback; the StarNet IP information showed it was at the Weapons R&D Department of the Sky R&D Center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning of the existence of the Weapons R&D Department through Qin Ye's memories, he decisively opened up extra spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by a crisp download reminder, Yang Tianxuan was instantly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The notification that popped up when he clicked last time showed that the file did not have download permissions open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, it was actually open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before trying, he hadn't even held much expectation, but he didn't expect to actually download the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the slightest hesitation, he decisively clicked the group chat software in the bottom right corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Tianxuan (Director of Weapons R&D Department): @Everyone, notify everyone to immediately click the link address sent by Qin Ye and download the game!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After @ing everyone three times in a row, Yang Tianxuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disappointment brought by the failed purchase was swept away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether the downloaded game file could run, he was not worried at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The information sent by the Security Center stated that this pirated link was very likely leaked from within the Moon Eclipse race and could connect to StarNet to play the game online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the loading progress bar, a bold idea was born in Yang Tianxuan's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The experimental process required consuming a large amount of resources, and there were only two ways to obtain resources in the game world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was to recharge with money and purchase resources from other players' hands for R&D consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or to establish a powerful force in the game to control part of the resource output.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first method required applying to the higher-ups for game funding, a cumbersome process that required detailed explanations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the second method did not have these worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the super geniuses in various weapons R&D fields under his command, Yang Tianxuan suddenly had the idea of forming a powerful force in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know how other players played the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since it was a game that perfectly simulated reality, he and the members of the Weapons R&D Department could completely start from scratch to build a technological weapons legion to compete with other players for resources in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And actual combat could also test the power of new weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1435,"2026-06-17T18:40:33.513Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","adf1715c3621e0f847144ec70ac94e12dc588493674b30b16252a86a16e099e5","the-monsters-are-coming-chapter-30","the-monsters-are-coming-chapter-28",373,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmonsters-are-coming-cover.jpg"]
