?44: Chapter 44: Unexpected Information 44: Chapter 44: Unexpected Information Having successfully occupied the territories of the beast monsters, it would’ve made sense for Zhou Tian to settle down at that point.

    After all, these territories weren’t particularly advantageous, and Zhou Tian had only taken them to leverage his position.

    Now that his goal had been reached, staying there would only invite trouble.

    However, Zhou Tian didn’t rush to retreat.

    After taking over these territories, he surprisingly kept his army there for some time.

    “This game is unlike any other.

    It evolves and updates on its own, and I’ve heard there are no GMs inside.

    The game claims there are no bugs, and if there are, they’re intentional design elements.

    The game company won’t intervene, and those who discover them can exploit them for personal gain.

    Trust me, I’ve been playing this game for a while, and compared to other games, this one is way more interesting.

    Not only are there more unpredictable elements, but also there won’t be any pay-to-win players.”

    “If it’s as good as you say, we’ll certainly play this game in the future.”

    “Why would I lie to you?

    Almost a hundred million players around the world are playing this game.

    If you don’t level up now, you’ll find out how hard it is to do so when more people join the game.”

    A group of newbie players were walking around the edge of the NPC city, chatting while hunting for wild monsters nearby.

    During this conversation, none of them noticed the expression on the face of a nearby Beastman changing subtly.

    Zhou Tian did not immediately leave the area he had occupied, he had his own plans.

    From his perspective, he had already taken over an hot-iron territory.

    But it didn’t mean he had to leave immediately.

    At least based on the situation at that moment, before leaving, Zhou Tian didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to gain some merit.

    None of the three forces – monsters, NPCs or players – would have anticipated Zhou Tian’s move.

    So, naturally, few would know about the changes happening in that territory.

    And what Zhou Tian wanted to exploit was the fact that few knew about his actions.

    No one would expect Zhou Tian to get himself into trouble, and the unanticipated would be undefended.

    So, given that the NPCs and players knew nothing about his actions, he had more available options.

    The beast monsters were in no way a match for Zhou Tian.

    His clan of Beastmen was far more powerful, and with Zhou Tian’s leadership, they could fully harness their strength to ambush the NPCs and players.

    In this unguarded situation, any target Zhou Tian set his sights on likely had no chance to escape.

    In fact, after Zhou Tian made his move, he successfully ambushed several NPC armies in succession.

    His cautious approach ensured that none of the higher-ups in the NPC city noticed it.

    Naturally, if Zhou Tian was willing to attack the NPCs, he wouldn’t hesitate to ambush the players either.

    However, Zhou Tian did not expect to accidentally overhear some news while ambushing the players.

    After learning about the current state of the game on Earth, he realized that the game had undergone significant changes compared to when he played.

    Zhou Tian couldn’t help but feel that something was wrong.

    Under normal circumstances, games wouldn’t evolve in such a way.

    With the technology on Earth, it was impossible to make a game that could evolve autonomously without a GM. Sёarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Therefore, Zhou Tian was one hundred percent certain that the changes in the gaming on Earth were somehow related to the world they were in.

    Even though he knew he couldn’t influence the situation with his current strength level, Zhou Tian had the strangest feeling that he might have played an unknown role in the game-related changes on Earth.

    Of course, even though hearing that conversation had some impact on Zhou Tian, he had no intention of postponing his original plan.

    After all, Earth was still far, far away, and he was in no position to manage affairs there.

    Therefore, it made more sense for Zhou Tian to focus on gaining merit from those players.

    Even if the players had just provided him with potentially useful information, Zhou Tian still had no mercy on them.

    After they walked into the ambush he had prepared, Zhou Tian directly emerged from the darkness.

    “Look, it’s the BOSS!” As soon as Zhou Tian appeared, the players noticed him.

    One of them pointed out Zhou Tian’s presence while rushing towards him.

    “Idiot, don’t go over there.

    That BOSS is a notorious player killer in the novice village, he can…

    It’s too late.” Seeing his companion’s actions, one player who seemed to know about Zhou Tian tried to warn his companion.

    But before he could finish his sentence, numerous Beastman warriors appeared, showing the player that they were in a serious predicament.

    Alas, even their understanding of Zhou Tian and reluctance to fight him directly didn’t help.

    As soon as Zhou Tian and his Beastmen appeared, it was clear that the players had no chance of escape.

    In the end, as Zhou Tian’s abilities came into play, one after another Beastman broke the barrier between the players due to contact, eventually trapping the players within the Beastman warriors’ encirclement.

    The rest of the fight was predictable.

    Even if Zhou Tian took on the newbie players alone, he would still have an 80 to 90 percent chance of winning.

    Let alone now, when he had not only himself but also his Beastman warriors.

    Given his current strength, dealing with these players would not be difficult at all.
