[Foreign Tester, you have entered the area of ​​[Demon Research Institute - Mars - Santiago Empire - Island D]. You have received an identification message.]

[Send to all external testers who enter Island D within the last 30 minutes: Specific mission, instant character card]

Shortly after standing in the elevator, all participants received this message.

[Specific Task: In this test, participants will be divided into three factions: the indigenous people, mainly psionicists; the monster spies, mainly evolved humans; and the outsiders, mainly cyborgs. Participants will help their respective factions complete exclusive faction-specific missions. Rewards will be determined by contributions to the missions, with additional rewards for outstanding performance.]

Each of the three factions has two Level 3 Void Apprentice individuals as leaders. Unless the leaders of other factions are clearly at a disadvantage, they will not voluntarily leave the core area of ​​their faction's territory. If an individual from another faction enters the core area of ​​another faction without disguise, the leader of that faction will take action.

[Hunting: The mission location is a remote island with complex terrain and teeming with monsters. Each of the three factions' core areas has a dedicated exchange center where you can take your hunted prey to the island to exchange for bounties. Each player has only ten exchange opportunities during this mission period.]

[Prey: The bounty varies depending on the prey, and even different parts of the prey have different prices. The total value of each prey is roughly equivalent to the value of its most valuable part.]

If the most valuable part of a bear is its paw, worth ten points, then the entire bear will also cost ten points. However, if the bear pelt costs five points, then exchanging both the pelt and paw from the same bear will only yield ten points.

[Prey Bag: Only items inside the prey bag can be exchanged, so it's better to take only the most valuable parts than the entire prey. However, there are no hints about the value of each monster or which parts are the most valuable; you'll have to figure it out yourself. Also, the value of the same prey varies depending on the faction.]

[Equipment: There are many relics left behind by predecessors on the island. They may have been brought by other outsiders, left by the natives, or even developed by monsters. In any case, find them to arm yourself.]

[Note: Equipment brought by participants may be collected; however, all items on the island are replicas.]

[Shop: If you can't find good equipment on the island, you can use bounty points to exchange for it in the faction shop. The items available for each of the three factions are different. Besides selling your prey directly, you can also earn bounty points by helping others.]

[Note: Equipment purchased from shops or found on the island can be taken out as personal belongings; however, there are limits on the number of items and found equipment that can be carried.]

[Defection: Every participant has one opportunity to recruit another and one opportunity to be recruited by another.]

After everyone finished reading the rules, a small hole opened in each of the elevators where the participants were, and inside the hole was the prey bag mentioned in the rules.

Ling Hao recognized the material of the hunting bag at a glance. It was made of nanomaterials, making it impervious to water, fire, and weapons. Only Mu Kange's anti-material sniper rifle could barely destroy it.

"So, the character card determines the participant's initial faction?" After thinking about this, Mu Kange immediately clicked on the character card option, and sure enough, it was just as he thought.

[Number: 9527]

[Quest Location: Whirlpool Gang]

[Inclination: Psionicist]

[Stage: Danger Perception]

[Individual Classification: Level Zero Ordinary Life Form]

[Faction: Indigenous People]

Assets: 0

Although the number is four digits, it is clearly intended to mislead and prevent people from guessing the actual number of people.

"Primitive natives? How primitive? Native Americans?" Mukango felt a deep connection to his own faction, because relative to this interstellar era, he was indeed a primitive man.

"Check the [Faction: Native Indigenous] option for details." Mu Kange's mind raced, and the screen on the terminal changed again, but the content presented surprised him greatly.

[Background of the original indigenous faction: This is a group of humans living on this isolated island, cut off from the rest of the world. They call this island the Barbarian Island.]

They had no contact with the outside world and learned everything on their own. Therefore, they didn't invent mature firearms until the end of the era of nations. However, they specialized in psychic energy, being a branch of an ancient sect that had been abandoned outside the region, and possessed powerful psychic weaponry.

Their technology was at the late stage of the nation-building era, as detailed below...

"What's the difference between this and my Earth?!" Mu Kange roared in his heart. Indeed, in the eyes of interstellar civilizations, Earth in the early 21st century was still considered primitive.

Primitive civilizations refer to those that utilize massive matter, or molecular clusters. Although the Human Federation is the most primitive civilization in the interstellar era, it can still directly modify the molecular structure of matter according to its needs.

Not long after Mu Kange finished reading, the elevator doors opened, and he appeared in a tree beside a river, surrounded by lush vegetation.

Participants will not be placed in the same location, whether or not they travel together, but their strength and the location where they accept the mission will affect the distance between them to some extent.

"If we get separated, go to the nearest high ground first. Remember to turn on the map creation function on your terminal immediately," Ling Hao instructed in the waiting room.

Mu Kange immediately opened the map-making function, looked around, and then focused his gaze on a giant tree in the distance that appeared to be a thousand meters tall.

Just as he was about to walk toward the giant tree, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and instinctively jumped to the side.

"Bang!"

A cone-shaped object, about the size of a ten-year-old child's palm, was embedded in a tree nearby, deeply embedded, and its power was probably comparable to that of a pistol.

After regaining his balance, Mu Kange immediately turned to look at the thing that had attacked him. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was not a creature that would exist on Earth.

That was a wasp about the size of an ordinary pillow?

Like a combination of a mosquito and a bee, it possesses the mouthparts of a mosquito and the stinger of a bee. The stored blood seems to accelerate the regeneration of the stinger, which is being reconstructed at a slow but visible speed.

"Damn it, what the hell is this?!" Mu Kange's expression changed, and he immediately ran to the tree with the needle stuck in it, and with a little force, he pulled the needle off.

"Whoosh."

A red and black shadow flashed by, and the fleeing wasp was pierced by its stinger and fell to the ground.

Mukango was simple-minded, not stupid; he could still predict the flight paths of mosquitoes and wasps.
