Chapter 537 Network
"Non-human player."

Gray Rain leaned closer, looking at the heated discussion on the screen, and said with some doubt, "Come to think of it, it seems like I haven't really seen many non-human players in the slums."

"normal."

Li Sheng casually said, "Theoretically, a player's aptitude can be transferred through hunting and plundering. Historically, there have indeed been cases where Lv1 newbies in Australia passed the guild assessment, went to a nightclub with their companions for a drinking party, got drunk on their way home, stepped on a highly poisonous jellyfish on the beach, and died on the spot."

Other things include being trampled on by elephants or being chewed up by hyenas.

However, players created in this way will be quickly eliminated by the local guild.

"Why?" Gray Rain asked, puzzled. "Are they taking back player qualifications?"

"Player qualifications are very valuable, and on the other hand, we need to eliminate outliers."

Li Sheng shrugged and casually said, "Major guilds can accept hiring the world boss of the scenario as an advisor, and can accept guild members transforming themselves into non-human races such as werewolves, dragons, and elves."

They even accept that ordinary high-ranking members of the guild transform themselves into extraordinary beings in exchange for a longer lifespan.

But they cannot accept the presence of animal players.

"That's it"

Gray Rain nodded as if he understood but not quite. Top-tier superhumans are almost like gods. No matter which faction they belong to, they would not accept that a feline, canine, primate, or bird would acquire player qualifications, awaken their consciousness, hide themselves, and hide all the way to Lv40, claiming to be a representative of their race and starting negotiations with humans.

Even if there are those self-righteous liberals who believe in the equality of all beings and that animal players should have equal rights with humans (there are quite a few people in guilds in Europe and America who really think this way), they will be suppressed immediately.

The forum was buzzing with activity, with all users discussing the version update and the large-scale event, "Elegy of the Kings," mentioned at the end of the update announcement.

[Mississippi River Surfing]: I understand. The "kings" in "The Ballad of the Kings" is the key. It's likely similar to a novel about national destiny, summoning historical kings and emperors, like King Arthur versus Qin Shi Huang, Alexander versus Lincoln, with the winner rewriting the nation's destiny and increasing the country's mineral resources tenfold, etc.

[Xu Ge City]: Sweating soybeans. The most urgent thing for the poster is to start the next Tomato Novel. The national fortune has already arrived, why don't you talk about Kennedy versus Abe?

【GigaChad】: Speaking of which, Abe-san is three years old this year, right? He should be starting kindergarten.

[Can green beans be cooked through?]: Abe-san was bullied by a five-year-old boy in kindergarten.

[Mississippi River Surfing]: Bullying? Abe-san will definitely be a big jerk.

【Gray Rain】: Haha, we've chatted for so long! I accidentally got caught in the time turbulence of the killing field and just returned to the real world. I heard that several major countries are recruiting top-tier Lv5 transcendents with high salaries, preparing to establish their own official guilds? Anyone want to submit their resumes?
[Brother Xu in the city]: Holy crap, a veteran! A junior is bowing down in admiration.

With too few clues available, the discussion quickly devolved into joking and idle chatter.

Li Sheng scratched his head and closed the forum page.

He had no opinion on the so-called "Elegy of the Kings." His toy factory was running smoothly, and his magic cannon master training had not encountered any bottlenecks. He did not need to go to great lengths to find opportunities to become stronger like ordinary players.

As for whether large-scale events will have an impact on the real world...
Hey, even if the sky falls, top-tier powerhouses like Michael and the Side of Truth can hold it up like a nursing home caregiver scooping up poop.

All I need to do is complete the tasks step by step.

"Chatting on forums is still the best."

Hui Yu looked up from her laptop screen and suddenly noticed Li Sheng's subtle expression. "What's wrong?"

"A mission has arrived."

Li Sheng rubbed his temples. Just as it's taboo to say "sink" on an ocean-going ship or to say "finally we can relax and go home" in a hospital emergency room, the player community also has superstitions and tries to avoid mentioning mission intervals as much as possible.

As if on cue, a system notification suddenly appeared before my eyes.

The task trigger conditions have been met.

[Mission Type: Standard Mission (One-on-One Deathmatch)]

[Mission Name: Cyber ​​Warriors]

[Mission Objective: In 3 hours, possess a Category 8 10 Gigabit Ethernet cable and await teleportation.]

[Task Reward: To be announced when you receive the next task prompt]

[Failure Penalty: Forced participation in the "Song of the Kings" event] This.
Li Sheng raised an eyebrow. This mission was rather strange; regular missions usually took place in the real world or somewhere in a killing field.
With his current strength, without the intervention of a higher-level superhuman, a three-light-speed elbow strike could truly flatten a small to medium-sized city. The real world cannot withstand such a high-intensity battle.

Secondly, the punishment for failure is also bizarre. Instead of being eliminated or having one's rank lowered, one is forced to participate in the Song of the Kings.

Could it be that this event is still voluntary? Limited to players level 30 and above, with an extremely high mortality rate?
Without time to think it over, Li Sheng called on Hui Yu and they quickly made some preparations.

His current panel (excluding character count) is as follows:

After making all the preparations, Li Sheng did not return to the real world. Instead, he randomly found a high-end internet cafe in the slums, went in, unplugged the computer's network cable, and held it in his hand.

(Regular missions have a chance to affect the real world; it would be bad if your own house blew up, but an explosion at a slum internet cafe is covered by insurance.)

The three-hour countdown ended without any fluctuation. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself standing on a bustling street.

Wait, isn't this Yin City?

Li Sheng's pupils contracted as he saw throngs of pedestrians and towering buildings all around him, clearly indicating that this was the Bund of Yin City.

However, upon closer inspection, one can find that the style of the buildings differs from that of the real world, the pedestrians are dressed too neatly, and there are several military armored vehicles parked on the street that do not resemble armored vehicles.

The reason I say this is because those armored vehicles exude an extremely cheap feel, almost like they've just sprayed some gray paint onto the shell of an off-road vehicle to pass it off as a military vehicle.

Moreover, Li Sheng is now fully armed, holding the Ape-Man Degeneration Gun in his left hand and the Bagua Alchemy Cannon in his right. Considering the possibility of using the Plague Unclean Book, he is also wearing a yellow airtight hazmat suit.

Despite his bizarre attire, not a single passerby gave him a strange look, simply ignoring him as they walked past.

"."

Li Sheng silently launched the reconnaissance drone, then released Gray Rain from the electronic pet egg. The latter was startled by the surrounding environment, "Oh my, isn't this Yin City?"

"Not Yin City."

Li Sheng's expression seemed to be wearing a mask of pain. He pointed to the aerial footage transmitted by the drone on the remote control, where a huge shadow shaped like a cannon could be clearly seen at the bottom of the Huangpu River.

"We are now watching a classic science fiction film released in August 2019, with a Douban rating of 2.9, a production cost of 360 million yuan, and a box office of 120 million yuan. It connects with 'The Wandering Earth' and opened a door for Chinese science fiction—"

Shanghai Fortress.
