Online game: Thunder Tyrant, I have infinite critical hits!

Beijing!

Office of the Director of the Security Bureau.

Zhang Yuan stood solemnly in front of the national map. On the map, many famous rivers and lakes, such as Shennongjia, Changbai Mountain, Kunlun Glacier, and Ailao Mountain, had been marked with conspicuous circles in red pen!

A rough count reveals at least twenty!

These places have been invaded by the game, and wild monsters have appeared!

Moreover, as the red mobile phone kept ringing, such forbidden areas became more and more numerous!

In addition, various "paranormal" events have frequently appeared on the trending searches of major websites online!

The fact that games are infiltrating reality can no longer be hidden!

Zhang Yuan sighed, turned around, and dialed a number using the red landline: "Hello, sir, this is Zhang Yuan!"

The old commander's weathered yet calm voice came from the other end of the phone: "Little Zhang, speak."

"Sir, there is only half a day left before the game invades reality, but a large number of players in various places have already awakened ahead of time. In addition, many famous rivers and lakes have been connected to the game and dangerous monsters have appeared. I suggest that the truth be announced to the people of the whole country immediately!" Zhang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The voice on the other end of the phone remained completely calm and even: "That's exactly what I was thinking. I'll be working with the news department to record a video shortly, which will be released online. This might trigger a series of security issues. Xiao Zhang, you're the director of the Security Bureau; your responsibilities are immense. You must cooperate with the local police stations to safeguard the safety and interests of the people!"

"What about Nagakawa Osawa?" Zhang Yuan looked worriedly at the scarlet circle on the map.

"Don't worry," the old commander replied with a smile, "We've assembled the elite from various units to form the 'Heroes' Tower,' isn't that exactly what we're doing for today?"

……

Xingtian City.

Jiang Yan headed north, passing through several leveling maps along the way, where players were everywhere!

One month after the launch of "Peak", the major cities in the China region were overcrowded. However, the vast majority of players were casual players who played sporadically and focused on real life. Only a minority of players were able to be recruited by the major guilds.

Around 2 p.m., Jiang Yan ventured deep into the wilderness and arrived at a range of scorched, dark mountain ranges.

This mountain range is called Flaming Mountain. As far as the eye can see, there is not a single green plant on the mountain, and every peak is shrouded in wisps of smoke, as if lava could erupt at any moment.

This is the strange place where the temperature fluctuates wildly, as Little East Evil mentioned!

Jiang Yan cautiously entered, and before he had gone far, he received a private message from Bafanglaicai: Brother Jiang, quickly check the game forum! It's been officially announced there!!

Official announcement?

Jiang Yan hurriedly opened the game forum and clicked on the pinned and featured post.

The post contained a video of a sprightly old man with a kind and gentle face, but a firm gaze.

It was none other than the former leader of China!

Jiang Yan opened the video, and the old commander's voice slowly came through: "Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon..."

Whoosh!!

Just as Jiang Yan was watching the video, a purplish-black scorpion suddenly emerged from the ground and pounced on him. Its stinger shot out like lightning, making a loud whooshing sound!

Although Jiang Yan was watching the video, he was constantly aware of his surroundings. The moment the sound of something cutting through the air rang out, he quickly moved aside to avoid the scorpion stinger, while simultaneously waving his staff: "Lightning Bolt!"

Crack!

A burst of dazzling lightning erupted instantly, violently striking the purplish-black scorpion and unleashing a series of scarlet damages!

"...I regret to inform you that *Peak* is not just a game, but a mysterious world, and this world is invading our planet..."

In the video, while the old commander was still giving a speech, Jiang Yan was not idle either, constantly chanting his skills, with dazzling lightning bursting forth as he bombarded the purplish-black scorpion!

"...As the game's intrusion deepens, players will gradually awaken their in-game abilities, and the wild beasts outside will continue to evolve. At the same time, under certain conditions, monsters and bosses from the game will enter the real world... Places like the Ailao Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, and Shennongjia have become extremely dangerous..."

[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing the Crimson Chain Scorpion, a level above their own! Experience +1995]

Jiang Yan picked up a gold coin dropped by the Crimson Scorpion and continued on his way.

"...But please rest assured, the country will do everything in its power to keep the danger out of the city. We also ask that after the general public awakens their ability to play the game, they should stay true to their original intentions and not forget their original purpose."

The video is only five minutes long, but the waves it has stirred up are enormous!

The comments below the video alone have exceeded 50 million!!

If you're a true brother, come and fight me: The game has invaded reality, I must be dreaming!

Big Ben: Really? I don't believe it!

I'm a Big Star: Even the old chief has come out, how could this be fake?

No Thieves Under Heaven: I should have chosen the assassin role; being invisible is so much fun!

The East Evil West Poison: If games invade reality and monsters invade too, won't our world descend into chaos?

Crazy Psychopaths: The era of rampant chaos is coming!

Death God: Will it become a golden age for cultivation?

Burying Love - Purple: Waiting for awakening!

The comments below the video are refreshing at a rate of 100,000 per second, making it impossible to read them all.

This video is also the top trending topic on major online platforms!

The elderly, children, housewives, business elites, energetic young men, fishermen... countless people were shocked!

"No, I just finished reading a novel about games merging with reality, and this has already become a reality?"

"What the hell? I just got a promotion and a raise, and you're telling me games are invading reality? What about all my hard work lately?"

"You're pretty good, aren't you?"

"When 'Peak' first came out, my mom wouldn't let me play games. Luckily, I didn't listen to her, or I'd be a complete novice now."

"Having never played virtual games before, I must be what you call a Muggle. What should a Muggle do?"

"What else can we do? Hurry up and get into the game, create a character!"

"At first I was a little excited, but then I thought, it's not that great. Before the game invaded, I was just an ordinary office worker; after awakening, I'm just an ordinary mage. The ones who can truly rise to prominence are people like Jiang Ziya, right?"

Is Jiang Taigong the same Jiang Taigong from the Investiture of the Gods?

"The people upstairs are obviously Muggles."

"Jiang Ziya is the number one player in the China region of 'Peak,' a hidden class. He once single-handedly stormed into the Japan region and earned the title of '10,000 Kills'!"

"Damn it! That's not true at all! If it weren't for the traitor, Jiang Ziya would never have left the Eastern Japan region alive!"

"Damn, there are still Japanese devils here. Anyone want to open his box? I'll deal with him when I awaken!"

"No, can you still laugh? Wasn't the old commander clear enough? It's not just us humans; wild animals are also evolving and awakening!"

"I just looked it up, I don't know if it's true or not, but it says there are only about eight billion humans in the world, while there are hundreds of billions of animals, billions of times more than humans!"

"In other words, if we all evolve simultaneously, each of us would have to fight billions of monsters on average?!"

"That's outrageous."

While countless people are experiencing fear, worry, joy, or bewilderment, a small minority are already laughing like dogs!
