Chapter 494 Return to Zero
The Tremor Mission has begun, and forum posts are refreshing like a waterfall on the computer screens inside the automated warehouse.

"The steel blade transforms into thunder, its killing intent soaring to the heavens."

"Uneasy."

"Hey gamers, wanna tackle challenging missions? Want to win big with a small investment and get rich quick? Then look no further than Du Xiaoman, WeBank, Alipay, and JD Finance. We guarantee fast approval, low interest rates, and flexible terms. (The organizer reserves the right to final interpretation of this event.)"

The Tremor missions occur on average twice a year, taking place in the Killing Grounds. The difficulty is linked to the player's skill level. Not only are the rewards extremely rich, but there is also a chance to discover some areas, rooms, and items in the Killing Grounds that are still in good working order.

For example, a single-use acid pool can melt carbon-based organisms into a primordial cellular soup, from which faster, stronger, and smarter perfect organisms can regrow. Inherited memories and player attributes.

There have been many people on the forum who suspect that the president of the Laughing Troupe, "Laughing God," once fell into an acid pool. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain how this person suddenly transformed from an ordinary folklorist into a high-IQ antisocial madman.

For example, a general-purpose automated repair workshop can repair everything from tricycles and mechanical watches to aircraft carriers and Gundam mechs. It's like a mini-secret space.

Blood Lion Roar's guild, [MechWarrior Thunder], uses this repair station as its headquarters.

In conclusion, the rewards of the Tremor Quest are so great that they are attractive to all guilds and individuals.

And at times like these, the online trolls on the forums will launch a massive attack.

Those that advertise microloans, smear business competitors, and disguise themselves as beginner guides are actually Zhihu's "Salt Selection" posts that require "charging" to unlock.

"The task of governing the internet environment is arduous and has a long way to go."

Looking at the densely packed posts on the forum, Li Sheng shook his head and decisively picked up the keyboard to start posting as well.

The Tremor Quest is a shopping extravaganza exclusively for the extraordinary. Many players, driven by their dreams of getting rich quick, overspend, buying or renting equipment, items, and skill scrolls.

As the owner, no, manager of Cast Star Anvil, if I don't push for sales now, when will I?

[An eerie phenomenon has descended, and order has collapsed! Gazing at the black clouds and blood moon outside the window, writhing tentacles, I despairingly picked up a knife and pointed it at myself, only to suddenly remember that today is Crazy Thursday! Starforging Anvil: Get 30 off orders over 300, plus substantial subsidies for PULS members!]

[The Tremor Mission is too dangerous; why not buy insurance for your family in advance? The Star-Forging Anvil organ transplant service has drastically reduced prices. Dad, suffering from gout in both feet, can have his legs replaced with Chocobo legs and walk with incredible speed. Mom, with dry and itchy eyes, can have her eyes replaced with three-tomoe Sharingan eyes and can freely use Amaterasu without needing a gas stove. Children with poor academic performance can have supercomputing chips implanted, exempting them from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Junior Class entrance exam.]

[Ahhhhhh, family members, is there anyone who understands the Power System puzzle and was just one piece away from finding the Starforged Anvil promotion? The feeling of salvation when I saw it was so sweet! Anyone want to join a group order to reach the minimum spend for the discount? Looking forward to it!]

Li Sheng is adept at using various rhetoric, types at lightning speed, and accurately grasps the forum AI robot's scrutiny of spam posts, ensuring that his posts are not deleted.

The forum frenzy lasted for more than half an hour before GOC's official account, in conjunction with various guilds, issued a pinned announcement.

The content is nothing more than that human civilization is a whole, and that during the turmoil of battle, disputes should be set aside, development should be carried out together, and infighting should be avoided.

Just like last time, GOC will hold a press conference in the Low Streets. However, Li Sheng is no longer a newbie, so he didn't attend. Instead, he focused on making money and spending it to strengthen his combat power.

He himself didn't need anything for the time being, so he mainly bought a prop for Gray Rain.

【Item Name: Move Learning Device - Hyper Beam】

[Type: consumables]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Special Effect: Skill Transfer. After use, grants a magical pet the permanent skill "Destruction Ray," allowing it to gather energy and fire a high-energy beam at the target. The user is then temporarily unable to move.]

[Consumption: None]

[Cooling time: None]

[Usage Requirements: Intelligence attribute must be 3 points or higher]

[Note: Love is a light, so beautiful]

That's right, this [Move Learning Device], which looks like a CD, is the same model as the Spirit Strike Learning Device that Crimson Racer gave away before. It is a flagship product sold by the [Thousand Throat Beast] guild.

Judging solely from the original Pokémon games and anime, Hyper Beam is rated at a power of 150, which is higher than moves like Thunderbolt (90) and Fire Blast (110).

Moreover, the learning curve for the Monster Slayer Beam is quite low, and most Pokémon, from Magikarp to various legendary Pokémon, can master it.

The reason it's not so popular is because of its side effect: the Pokémon will be unable to move in the next round, which is too fatal in player battles.

However, this was no problem for Gray Rain. She was the most durable woman, capable of hydraulic presses and crushing machines. Even after being hit head-on by a tank's main gun, she could get up as if nothing had happened, with only a slightly dirty hem of her clothes.

After making all the necessary preparations, Li Sheng regained his composure and quietly awaited the notification from the killing field.

Six hours later, the system broadcast arrived as scheduled.

Task Type: Routine Task (Team Collaboration)

[Task Name: Reset and Reboot]

[Mission Objective: Teleport to the killing field, carry the Annihilation Device to the designated location, and install it.] [Mission Time Limit: 72 hours]

[Task Reward 1: 4000 Experience Points]

[Task Reward 2: 5000 Game Coins]

[Mission Reward 3: 1 random item, quality depends on completion rating]

[Mission Reward 4: Random Skill Scroll *1, quality depends on completion rating]

[Task Reward 5: VIP Trial Card for the Mall*1]

[Task Reward 6: 5 Free Attribute Points]

[Failure penalty: none]

【Whether to accept】

Good guy.

Li Sheng raised an eyebrow. The VIP card in the mall, like the emergency escape card and the life potion, was an item directly produced by the killing field system.

After using the VIP card, you can refresh 15 absolutely useful discounted items in your personal shop, with price reductions ranging from 30% to 50%.

The skull crusher that Gray Rain is currently using, as well as the openwork armor of the elven female knight [Aisoron's Lament] that was listed on the trading house and eventually bought by Gouchen, were all obtained by refreshing with a VIP card.

With Li Sheng's current strength, the VIP card can only be of perfect quality or higher; buying it is a sure win.

As for the last reward of five free attribute points, it is even more generous—the relationship between superhuman attributes and physiological functions does not increase linearly, but rather exponentially.

The later the game progresses, the harder it is to obtain attributes, but the greater the boost becomes.

Without hesitation, Li Sheng clicked to confirm. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a desolate wilderness with three figures standing beside him.

One was a Latino young man with short hair, dressed in a sharp suit, handsome, with tattoos covering the backs and palms of his hands.

The second is a petite little girl, dressed in a gothic black dress, carrying a giant scythe, with several bats hovering around her.

As for the third one, it is the acquaintance tombstone sister, the white horse tombstone.

"They're all high-level players."

The Latino youth raised an eyebrow and spoke first: "Let me introduce myself. I am Reyes, the chief financial officer of Jalisco Corporation in Mexico."

Player information appeared above his head: [Emperor's Second-in-Command - Reyes] [Lv28]

The so-called Jalisco Corporation is actually a euphemistic name for the Jalisco New Generation Group (CJNG), a Mexican criminal organization in the real world. This organization had already risen to prominence long before the killing began, taking organized crime to the level of warlords. It has an intelligence system and armored rapid reaction forces, and its individual soldiers are equipped with more luxurious equipment than the Mexican army.

After the killing began, the Jalisco Cartel quickly embraced supernatural powers, competing commercially with other Mexican crime groups while continuing to erode the Mexican government's governing power.

Too far from paradise and too close to the United States, the weak governments of South American countries are utterly powerless to stop the expansion of criminal organizations with superhuman strength.

Today, these criminal groups have become the uncrowned kings of South America, and for some reason, they have a tradition of taking their names from anime and animation works of art.

The title "Emperor's Second-in-Command" preceding Reyes's ID is not an exaggeration; he truly is one of the Four Emperors of Mexico and Blackbeard's subordinate.

Since you've put it that way...

The Gothic Lolita girl pouted and also revealed her ID.

【Secluded Vampire Clan - Claudia】【Lv28】

This Claudia is clearly a member of the Witches' Alliance guild, and her power system is related to vampires.

"My turn?" The tombstone lady scratched her head.

[No Time to Die - White Horse Tombstone] [Lv30]

When they met again, she had leveled up to Lv30, and could no longer be called the number one player below Lv30, which was a bit of a shame.

The difficulty of the Tremor mission, which averages level 29, is self-evident. The three exchanged glances and turned their attention to Li Sheng, who was at the end.

Li Sheng smiled confidently, and glowing text appeared above his head.

【Saint-Hong Michael】【Lv40】

Wow, it's the No.1 killer on the battlefield, the famous Mi Shen! You won this game by doing nothing. Bullshit!
Claudia's eyelids twitched violently, while the White Horse Tombstone stepped forward, curiously poking Li Sheng's head with its finger, causing the sign with Michael's name printed on it to tilt.
