Chapter 430: Chapter 297: Holy shit, is this a secret that can’t be told? (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

Dung Beetle spoke to the players nearby, then quickly went up and picked up a Black Core from the ground.

The next moment, the Black Core took root in the palm of his hand. His body also began to change, as bumps continuously emerged from under his skin. If it were their first time seeing this, the players would probably be quite frightened. But those who already understood what was happening weren’t too concerned.

Soon, Dung Beetle was lying on the ground, having entered the Dream Dungeon, and the players from Wood Leaf Village showed no mercy.

"Charge, kill the Boss!"

Seeing about ten players rushing up, filled with a seemingly deep grudge, the surrounding players were also taken aback.

What was going on? The Boss of Wood Leaf Village, Dung Beetle, was so despised that even his own villagers were trying to kill him?

Upon Dung Beetle’s death, the Wood Leaf Village players also hastily ceased their attacks and retreated.

It wasn’t long before Dung Beetle resurrected and flew back, his expression extremely peculiar. He had experienced the Dream Dungeon. However, he could not describe it, even when he was alone.

It was strange, as if a secret was bottled up inside him, making him antsy because he couldn’t speak of it. Yet something seemed to prevent him from speaking out.

"It’s too tormenting! This feeling is too painful! What kind of bizarre setup is in the Fifth Test?" Dung Beetle complained angrily, while the others seemed to enjoy the spectacle.

As players died, their corpses transformed into black smoke and dissipated, replaced by dropped Black Cores. More and more players grew curious about the Dream Dungeon, becoming eager to experience it firsthand.

"Bro, I’ll give you 10 Contribution Points, just remember to kill me later."

"I’ll give you 100 Contribution Points. Let me experience it first, then kill me, how about that?"

"Son, this is dangerous, let your Dad try first. Don’t worry, I won’t let you down. You’re the only child in our family; you can’t take risks."

"Let me do it! Haven’t you always had a mistress? Let her have another child for you. I’ll go first!"

In an instant, players who had been somewhat apprehensive moments ago now appeared eager to try, seemingly all wanting to experience the Dream Dungeon.

What was it about the situation that left so many unable to speak of it?

Not just them; even Xu Nian was somewhat tempted to try it for himself.

But he couldn’t use Cyclic Resurrection. After thinking it over, he gave up the idea and turned to watch the Sand Carving Players rushing to try.

What was there to experience? Wouldn’t it be better to complete the Task quickly?

"Everyone, first clear out the Nightmares. We can discuss these Black Cores later when we take them back," Xu Nian announced.

At Xu Nian’s command, the players put aside their playful impulses. Those who had already begun the experience were abandoned by the others.

Their fate could wait. They’d deal with it after clearing the Nightmares.

At that moment, the players imitated the successful tactic and began clearing the Nightmares using the sacrifice method.

What was the sacrifice method? It involved one player sacrificing themselves, allowing the others to use the subsequent three-second window of opportunity to kill the Nightmares. This was far more effective than a large group of them foolishly rushing to their deaths and getting wiped out.

As for who should be sacrificed, it had to be the players with more Contribution Points. The Veteran Players also pinned their hopes on the Fifth Test Players, as many of them now possessed 1,000 Contribution Points. It would almost be a disservice to their substantial Contribution Points if they didn’t volunteer to be sacrificed.

"Bro, it’s your turn to sacrifice, isn’t it?"

"Get lost! Why don’t you let him sacrifice? He’s been loafing around for so long."

"You’re talking crap! I’m the only damage dealer. If I sacrifice, are you guys just going to wait here to die?"

"The only damage dealer? Bro, are you looking down on me, a Veteran Player? I may not be in the Top 100 of the Combat Power List, but I’m at least stronger than you guys, right?"

Through the players’ sacrificial strategy, more and more Nightmares were quickly eradicated, and the players also received a System notification about the Task’s completion.

One hundred Nightmares defeated.

There were still plenty of Nightmares in this area, but the players’ Task was only to eliminate 100, so they were in no rush. This area could entirely be used as a spot to farm Contribution Points later. Newbie Players would sacrifice themselves, Veteran Players would make the kills, and they would then split the Contribution Points 50/50, ensuring everyone prospered harmoniously. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Upon the completion of this Task, Xu Nian also received a System notification.

[Host Task Completed, Reward Rating: A!]

[Reward: Gene Lock Unlocked, current stage: Tier One Gene Lock, special Items from the Contribution Hall unlocked.]

Gene Lock?! What the heck is this thing? Wasn’t it supposed to be an improvement in his Realm?

Seeing this reward, Xu Nian couldn’t help but complain internally. It seemed that due to the changes in the Upper Realm, Realm was no longer a reliable metric for evaluation and had been replaced by the Gene Lock system.

But did Zhao Ritian know about the Gene Lock?

Now that the Tier One Gene Lock was unlocked, Xu Nian could distinctly feel a powerful enhancement coursing through his body. Not only had the strength of his flesh and blood increased, but his five senses were also substantially enhanced. It was also because of this that he sensed many suffocatingly dangerous presences in the Mountain Range, or rather, all around them.

Indeed, this Mountain Range harbored not only Nightmares but also other unknown entities. Even if he were to activate the Eight Gates Escape Armor, he could still sense an indescribable terror.

Is this the Upper Realm?

Xu Nian hesitated for a long time. After experiencing the effects of the Tier One Gene Lock’s activation and confirming the Task was complete, he finally turned and left the area.

The players also received their respective rewards. One thousand Contribution Points was no small amount. The Task was completed, but this place could still serve as their farming ground for Contribution Points. It would be a waste not to fully utilize it.

Seeing Xu Nian leave, some Veteran Players also chose to depart. However, those who departed were not players lacking Contribution Points. They had no need to focus on the Nightmares here. After all, this Mountain Range definitely contained more creatures than just Nightmares. Now that the Task was completed, there would surely be new Items available in the Contribution Hall. Returning to the Contribution Hall to purchase Items and then leading a team for deeper exploration was now the priority. With over 10,000 Fifth Test Players, many would inevitably want to establish their own Halls. While most players were busy farming Contribution Points, it was crucial for them to secure useful Items with their Contribution Points first.

Junlin and the members of Lingxiao Hall were also among the first to withdraw. It wasn’t just them; Flourishing Flowers, Antarctic, Little Boss, and other prominent Veteran Players also led away many of their followers.

"Eh, why are they leaving? Don’t they plan on continuing to farm Contribution Points?" a New Player in the War Alliance’s group asked, frowning.

Iron-blooded War Hero, understanding Junlin and his team’s purpose, explained, "They’re going to buy Items with Contribution Points. With the completion of the first Task of the Fifth Test, related Items will be on sale in the Contribution Hall. With some luck, even Immortal Artifacts might be available. However, buying these Items isn’t simple. A lot of Contribution Points are needed. Without a solid foundation, it’s best not to join the fray. Our War Alliance needs to handle the logistics for the House of Evolution. For now, we’ll lead our members to farm Contribution Points. This game version isn’t particularly suitable for us, and it’s likely that some Fifth Test Players will rise to prominence."

That was his biggest concern. The War Alliance was a faction he had personally built from scratch, and like the House of Evolution, it was an officially supported entity. Certainly, among the New Players, there were many wealthy individuals. According to the information he possessed, this included several second-generation rich kids, and even members from families listed on the Wealth List had arrived. It was clear they had all realized the true benefits of this game. If the Fifth Test Players were to rise to prominence, the War Alliance’s standing would likely decline significantly, though there was little he could do about it. At present, the War Alliance served as the logistical backbone for the House of Evolution. Farming Contribution Points had to be their foremost objective. He could only hope that not too many Halls would be established by the Fifth Test Players. Otherwise, the War Alliance might genuinely have to withdraw from the competition among the Several Major Halls. It might even become the first Hall in the game’s history to fade from the players’ sight...
