Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1510 The Game Arena 60
Linlang thought that nothing would change in this world, but in the end, all the territories were destroyed, everyone fought monsters every day, the monsters' levels continued to rise, everyone faced danger every day, fewer and fewer humans could survive, and eventually the whole world was destroyed, or only a few powerful masters remained.

But these masters will die when they reach a certain age, unless they have offspring, and eventually all of humanity in the world will be wiped out.

But things took a subtle turn after she reached level ten territory.

Others might not have noticed yet, as it was too subtle to be easily detected, but Linlang, because of the little bee constantly monitoring the changes in her surroundings, confirmed after a while that there were some subtle changes outside.

That is, the leveling speed of the monsters around us seems to be slower than before.

So many years have passed, and both monsters and humans have reached very high levels. Leveling up is already very slow; sometimes it might take a whole year to level up.

Linlang was able to discover this because she had been monitoring the levels of the monsters around her.

Then it was discovered that in the past year or two, the monsters' leveling speed has slowed down.

In the past, the surrounding monsters would have leveled up by an average of one level.

However, although some monsters have leveled up, the surrounding monsters have not leveled up by an average of one level, but rather by about 0.8 levels.

Although it is harder to level up as you get higher, it is unlikely that the average leveling speed would suddenly slow down so much. Therefore, it is highly probable that the leveling speed of the monsters around you is slowing down.

Is it that the people behind the game want to let the people of this planet go?
It doesn't seem likely, because if they really wanted to release a single monster, they wouldn't have brought so many monsters.

If it's not a genuine exception, then the monsters' leveling up isn't something the person behind the scenes can control at will; it's subject to some kind of restriction or control. Otherwise, this situation can't be explained. In any case, she doesn't think this change is because the person behind the game has taken pity on this world.

If monsters level up, it's not something the people behind the scenes can do as they please. In the past, monsters and humans leveled up together, perhaps it wasn't because the people behind the scenes wanted to play the game properly and didn't want to kill humans all at once, but because they were subject to some kind of restriction and could only level up slowly.

This reminded Linlang of a game where the player is a monster, and the monster kills the "player" in the game.

There were games like this before the apocalypse.

If the game arena is a game played by some alien creature, and the aliens are monsters in the game, while these "players" are the targets they kill, then perhaps it can explain why monsters have time limits for leveling up. It's because the people behind them might be individual players, and their leveling up and fighting monsters is essentially fighting against the "players" in the game.

Because they also need to level up gradually, they can't suddenly become powerful enough to kill all the humans in their world.

The reason they're leveling up slowly is probably because the higher the level, the slower the leveling process becomes, and some people's leveling speed has become too slow. After all, for them, this is just a game, so not everyone has such a strong desire to level up and grind every day; at most, only a few high-level players are willing to grind.

Even among the humans of their world, facing life and death, a large number are unwilling to go out and fight monsters to level up. Only a portion are willing to go out and fight. Those alien creatures only treat this world as a playground. They are here to play games, so they are even less likely to work hard to level up.

This also explains why the player's territory always levels up faster than the monsters' average leveling speed. As long as you don't prioritize short-term gains and don't rush to increase your permanent resident population, upgrading your territory is very fast in the early stages.

Because everyone needs to survive, they naturally strive to upgrade themselves.

If those monsters are alien creatures, they're just playing a game. Although they're leveling up, they certainly won't be putting in the effort, so they'll generally be slower than the human elites—not to mention some who don't like fighting and stay in their territories at low levels—which makes it normal for the human elites to move around more easily. After all, the human elites are desperately leveling up to survive, while these monsters, if they're alien creatures, are just playing a game. Except for a few hardcore players, most of them won't be leveling up so hard, so it's normal for them to be generally weaker than the human elites.

Currently, most human territories have reached level 10, with only a few remaining at level 9 and in a state of being breached.

A level 10 territory is obviously not something that can be conquered in a short time. Under such circumstances, some alien players feel that the game is too difficult and they have hit a bottleneck, so they are not as diligent in leveling up. Therefore, after they reach the level 10 territory, some alien players level up casually, which makes the leveling speed slower, which is quite normal.

Having figured this out, Linlang was invigorated, because if the monsters' leveling speed slowed down, the human territory could hold out for a longer period of time.

Furthermore, even if the territory level fails to increase later, leading to its destruction by upgraded monsters, since monsters level up relatively slowly while players level up relatively quickly, players can still survive after their territory is destroyed.

After all, as long as humans level up faster than monsters, humans can suppress monsters, and thus humanity will not perish.

Even human territories cannot be breached. Even if the territory cannot be upgraded, since the monsters' upgrade speed cannot keep up with the human's, humans can organize territory defense forces to protect their territory and prevent it from being breached by monsters.

As long as the territory is not breached, most humans will not die.

Linlang was delighted to see this, but she needed to verify whether this was the case; she would need to observe for at least five more years.

If the situation remains the same in five years, she can form a territory guard to protect the territory, and may not necessarily need to activate the underground city.

The best thing is to avoid activating the dungeon, since staying in the dungeon doesn't guarantee safety after the territory has been destroyed.

If the monsters' leveling speed really is slowing down, she can't tell anyone else, lest they take chances and stop leveling up diligently. After all, if the territory can't be upgraded in the future, humans will have to rely on being stronger than the monsters to survive. If humans know that the monsters' leveling speed is slowing down and take chances and stop leveling up diligently, wouldn't she have done something wrong with good intentions? So naturally, she can't tell anyone else about this so that they can continue to level up diligently.

At that moment, Linlang observed the situation while also looking at the monsters, hoping to find clues about the alien players on them and confirm her guess.
