CHAPTER 457: CHAPTER 162: CURRENCY SYSTEM, REAL-LIFE DEATH

The body emitted a roar at this moment, with blood and Qi flowing as the muscles became tighter and the bones more resilient, as if endless strength lay dormant within, ready to erupt at any moment.

"Incredible!" Tong Xin couldn’t help but exclaim.

He finally understood why Tie Chui said the most popular gameplay in Monster World was hunting and growth.

The direct sensation from attribute enhancement made him feel as if his life form had undergone evolution.

"The feedback from this attribute enhancement is just too intense. If I were to quit the game, I might not be able to accept my body in reality."

"You’ve caught the key point. Now you know why we spend long hours in the game. The feedback from attribute enhancement is just one part; wait till you taste the Spirit Food. Once you’ve tried it, I guarantee that you won’t be able to eat real food upon returning to reality," cute baby explained with a chuckle.

"What a terrifying game. I’ve heard that games from long ago had anti-addiction systems, but the settings in this game seem like a must-addict system... Seriously though, the feeling of attribute enhancement is exhilarating, like shaking off the shackles of the body and gaining freedom."

As he spoke, Tong Xin looked at Zui Nai, who had just displayed an ability:

"Zui Nai released Ink Flame, right? That ability looks really cool."

"Stay calm, there’s even more impressive stuff!"

The nearby cute baby chimed in, raising a hand to reveal a dark red longbow in front of him.

Cute baby dramatically reached out to grab the bow handle, gently placing his fingers on the bowstring.

The bowstring was slowly drawn back, and the bow suddenly erupted with a blazing flame, spreading along the arms of the bow, instantly enveloping the entire longbow.

The flame danced on the bow, but it didn’t burn Zui Nai’s hand, synchronized with his breathing.

As the bowstring was pulled, Qi Blood Energy automatically gathered, and Tong Xin even saw specks of red condensing onto the bowstring.

Twang!

Whoosh!

The arrow flew off the string, tearing through the air with a fiery blaze.

Wherever the arrow passed, a trail of fire was left behind, like a flaming dragon roaring forward in the sky.

It accurately struck the chest of a marked giant beast in the distance.

Bang!

Qi Blood Flames exploded, transforming into a sea of fire within a ten-meter radius centered on the giant beast, engulfing it completely.

The Qi Blood Flames spread rapidly over the giant beast, like a bone-consuming disease, until it finally collapsed in the firelight, turning into ash.

Cute baby, with hair dyed white, nonchalantly blew a lock of hair dangling at his temple, then turned to Tong Xin, about to speak.

A snowball came flying over, hitting him in the face.

Smack!

"Enough! I asked you all to help me level up, not to show off. Every time you finish a move, you look at me. If this continues, I’ll leave the group and level up on my own."

The brothers’ showing off made Tong Xin feel both envious and a little ticked off.

This bunch of rogues had completely taken him as an object to flaunt.

"Principal, you’re just too weak. Without you, our old friend, who would we show off to? It’s rare that we get to enjoy so much emotional value thanks to you, so we need to let the brothers enjoy it too."

Hearing the principal’s flustered rebuke, the Child Group players couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Amidst the playful banter, the missing piece of the team was filled in.

With the principal, the Child Group was truly complete. Even though the principal was currently weak, he was always seen by them as the leader of the Child Group.

They believed the powerful principal would soon return.

Following this, the resources of the Child Group would be primarily spent on the principal to help him grow rapidly.

...

Primordial Altar.

Qi Sheng withdrew his gaze from Tong Xin.

Before this, he had no impression of this player.

But an hour ago, he heard a faint whisper of prayer reverberating in his mind.

Out of curiosity, he followed the guidance of his awareness.

After scanning through all the records and information about Tong Xin on the internet, Qi Sheng couldn’t help but feel amused.

It turned out he was one of the early recruited players.

Browsing through the records, Tong Xin’s journey could only be described as fantastical.

When he sent out links as a Benefit Officer to the Child Group, Tong Xin kicked him out of the group chat and went back to sleep.

At that time, he was sending links to multiple groups simultaneously, and as the slots were limited, he didn’t pay further attention once done. By the time Tong Xin wanted to access the slot, it had already been taken.

The second time, Tong Xin actually did manage to get a game slot.

This time, Qi Sheng remembered it.

He recalled the guidance saying a player obtained a slot but never chose to activate it.

Qi Sheng didn’t know the specific reasons and had no patience to wait.

All he knew was that the player wasn’t proactive, and since the unused slot couldn’t create value, it had to be reclaimed.

Thus, Tong Xin missed out on the game slot Qi Sheng issued for the second time.

The third time, he mistakenly got into the Dark Land....

After learning the specifics, Qi Sheng found this player quite pitiful.

Remembering he was a core member of the game’s first echelon player team, the Child Group, he made an exception and granted him an additional slot.

Truth be told, based on probability allocation, Tong Xin wouldn’t have gotten a slot at all.

After a brief focus, Qi Sheng shifted his gaze away from the Child Group.

There were more important matters awaiting him next.

During this period, he reviewed forum information and compiled numerous issues from player demands.

One problem that existed early on seemed about time to address.

There’s always been a voice on the forums expressing that the game lacks a currency trading system linked to reality, resulting in every purchase of sacrificial power requiring one to log off and transfer money, along with memorizing bank card details and the usernames of trading players.
