Again and again, the monster lunged at them, and amidst the background music, the roar remained clear.
It made Lin Xian break out in goosebumps!
“I’ll go! Is this what a real monster is?!”
In comparison, the Red-skinned Earthworm they fought on the first day was just at the level of a beneficial bug!
Clang!
A metallic ringing shattered all sounds, and the background chanting abruptly vanished.
A Knight clad in silver-white armor stood not far from the swamp.
The longsword in his hand reflected a cold, sharp light under the sun.
The next second.
A rock-like monster hidden in the swamp suddenly lunged at the camera!
It opened its mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth. Drool dripped to the ground, corroding it into pitted holes.
The Silver-white Knight moved, ghostlike, appearing behind the monster.
Blue light circles lit up beneath his feet, intertwining with the glow of his sword to form a dazzling Magic Circle.
The Knight pressed down with his toes, and the longsword pierced straight into the sky. The sword light grew ever brighter, splitting into countless smaller swords.
All at once, they stabbed toward the monster’s rough, rock-like skin!
Sword light like dragons, carrying howling wind and brilliant blue glow, tore through the sky.
The air seemed to rip under the sword light, leaving several clearly visible fissures!
All this happened in a single breath.
One moment, the Knight was at the very front of the camera.
The next moment, the monster’s roar stopped abruptly.
Black Blood sprayed out, and the monster’s massive body instantly became a pile of fragments!
The Silver-white Knight slowly sheathed his longsword, his face utterly calm.
As if everything just now was nothing more than lifting a finger.
“Woah! Woah! Woah! Ten thousand swords unleashed!!!”
Lin Xian’s jaw was so wide open it hurt, and he couldn’t even close his mouth!
Such a dazzling magic, such cool skills, such disgusting monsters!
All elements he loved!
The Silver-white Knight in the video—if he wasn’t their quest NPC, who else could he be?
“Too cool!”
Lin Xian was so excited his hands trembled, “No, I have to watch it again!”
But then.
The beeping of the Penguin alert, as if perfectly timed to match when Lin Xian finished the video, began to ring madly!
It forcibly dragged his hand back just as he was about to hit replay!
The message notification sound jumped like an air raid siren, showing how urgently the sender wanted to reach him!
No need to guess—it was definitely a Waterfriend.
Lin Xian looked longingly at the video, then resignedly opened the fan group.
Cun Tou Er Gou: “Show Dog must have finished watching the video. Hurry, tell us, can Players reach that level in the video?”
Qin Shi Huang: “Can you choose a class in the game now? Is picking Knight the most promising path?”
Tian Li San Hua: “Urgent, urgent, I’m the Urgent Kingdom King!”
The group was on the verge of going mad.
Lin Xian swallowed, typing with trembling hands still shaking from excitement.
Ren Bu Xiu Ji: “Brothers, the Trailer is incredible!!!”
Tian Li San Hua: “……Bro, look at your useless face.”
Cun Tou Er Gou: “Damn! We wanted to hear the inner thoughts of Test Server Players, but each one is more inexperienced than us!”
Ren Bu Xiu Ji: “[Eight-foot man weeps] You guys don’t know how hard the Operation System is in this game—it feels like real combat in the Reality World! Where have I ever seen Flash and Aerial Acrobat?”
Ren Bu Xiu Ji: “If I could do that, would I still get abused like a dog by an earthworm during the day? [Wipes snot]”
Qin Shi Huang: “:: You got chased by a monster? Why does it sound different from the video?”
Ren Bu Xiu Ji: “Cough cough, artistic editing. By the way, did Grandpa fly?”
Qin Shi Huang: “Don’t mention it. That monkey was even more clueless. After wailing in the group, he said he’d log in and never made a sound again.”
Cun Tou Er Gou: “We’re asking about the authenticity of the Trailer, and not one person is reliable!”
Qin Shi Huang: “Old Show, didn’t you interact with the NPC in the video? How did it feel? Did he have the aura of a strong one?”
Ren Bu Xiu Ji: “Not really. The two NPCs already implemented both had Heavy Injury debuffs.”
Ren Bu Xiu Ji: “If I hadn’t watched the Trailer, I couldn’t have imagined him being this badass! Just goes to show that the real expert hides their strength.”
Tian Li San Hua: “I know this—newbie NPCs all have Power Seals to make it easier to give them a patch for combat power bursts later!”
Cun Tou Er Gou: “We’re the Anti-Deity Faction, so maybe the other side will betray and betray again, turning directly into the Final Boss!”
Qin Shi Huang: “Exactly! When I saw those thick eyebrows and big eyes, I knew he was Final Boss material!”
Tian Li San Hua: “Don’t say it, his face really suits being a Villain! Even if Players guessed the reversal, the effect would still be awesome!”
Ren Bu Xiu Ji: “You all be careful—NPC intelligence is high, and he controls our Task Settlement!”
Qin Shi Huang: “By the way, Old Show, you learned magic in the game, right?”
Cun Tou Er Gou: “Yeah, yeah, yeah! How did it feel? Was it as powerful as in the video?”
Ren Bu Xiu Ji: “This…after all, we’re new accounts and still need time to grow.”
Ren Bu Xiu Ji: “But I’ve seen Old Ye use magic—his skill is also called Magic Fireball like mine, but the effects are totally different!”
Lin Xian lavishly praised that fireball covering half an earthworm.
The pressure from standing nearby was even scarier than watching Edgar Renault fight in the video!
Not only could it attack, but even environmental damage was considered!
Turning Wetland into dry land—too powerful!
After a long while, Lin Xian finally stopped, still savoring it.
Ren Bu Xiu Ji: “Trust me, the effects in the Trailer are definitely real!”
Qin Shi Huang: “Finally! That’s exactly what I wanted to hear! Test Server spot, here I come!”
Tian Li San Hua: “Hiss! So terrifying! How much money did this burn!”
Cun Tou Er Gou: “This level of computing power—hundreds or thousands of servers can’t achieve it!”
Cun Tou Er Gou: “I’m afraid their Company’s server Data Center must occupy three or four floors of the Office Building!”
Qin Shi Huang: “Not just that—they probably have to equip two floors with dedicated Air Conditioning System and Power System to ensure stable server operation!”
Qin Shi Huang: “Otherwise, this structure would have the Data Center holding BBQ Events any minute!”
Tian Li San Hua: “Doesn’t that mean you’d have to buy an entire building just for this?!”
Cun Tou Er Gou: “Of course! If a Virtual Reality Game doesn’t burn money, it doesn’t deserve the name!”
Lin Xian clicked his tongue.
Only after hearing this from the Waterfriends did he truly feel the terror of the Company behind Under the Gods!
The 99 coins they spent on a game Headset probably couldn’t even cover the electricity cost to keep the game running!
After a moment of silence.
Lin Xian spoke, his voice turning hoarse for reasons unknown, filled with disbelief.
“Is the Game Company doing charity?!”
Now, he was even more worried that Under the Gods wouldn’t survive to the next round of Test Server!
Without a Ban Number, the game couldn’t have Paid Items to earn money.
If it came down to it, the Game Company should just multiply the Headset price several times over!
This was the first time Lin Xian wanted to spend money on a Game Company and found nowhere to spend it!
