Global Games: Reporting the Great Ascension Stage at the Start

The cave is not deep, only about two or three meters deep.

The flying sword pierced straight to the bottom of the cave, penetrating a meter-thick layer of soil and precisely striking an object. It was a box, entirely azure blue and exuding a high-tech feel.

With a single slash of the sword, the blue box was instantly split in two.

The next second, several pale white, semi-transparent spirits flew out of the box.

These spirits pierced through the soil and rushed out of the cave entrance in a panic.

The spirits, shaped like spheres of light, seemed to fly through the air like living beings, scattering and fleeing in panic.

Shen Hua made a hand seal with one hand: "Go!"

The flying sword soared through the air, and raging flames burst forth from its blade, instantly engulfing all the spirits within.

The spirits emitted mournful howls, chilling like the cries of infants. But in no time, they were all reduced to ashes in the raging fire.

After the spirit body was completely burned, it turned into wisps of pure spiritual energy that drifted in the air.

Shen Hua immediately sat down cross-legged and began circulating the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique. Golden spiritual energy flowed around his body, attracting all the scattered spiritual energy like a magnet and drawing it into his body.

These blue boxes are actually spirit boxes placed by the "Yellow Hamster" at the behest of the Kree.

The "Yellow Hamster" brought a large Kree spaceship to Earth and placed it in near-Earth orbit, where it could be deployed autonomously.

Millions of these boxes have been deployed worldwide, each containing four spirits.

The spiritual body is not yet fully developed.

After three months, when the spirit is fully mature, it will break out of the box.

The spaceship deliberately places the boxes around villages and cities, and once the spirit is born, it will take the opportunity to sneak into the villages and cities.

These spirits, once mature, can parasitize living organisms.

When it possesses a villager, it can quickly control their mind and eventually completely take control of the host's will.

After controlling the villagers, because they are external spirits, they cannot enter the "Ascension" game.

However, they can control their hosts to log into forums and browse the entire internet.

They scavenge information online to identify players with outstanding potential and the ability to rise to prominence in the game.

Once a target is identified, the host is manipulated to assassinate the player, nipping them in the bud.

Countless geniuses in the past have fallen victim to them, such as the current number two on the ranking list, "Grandpa Calabash Saves the Doll".

[Grandpa Calabash Saves the Doll] is a demonic celestial spirit root, and the randomly obtained talent is exceptionally good. [Demonized Body]: When cultivating demonic arts, the experience speed is increased by 70%, without the side effects of the celestial race.

Therefore, in his previous life, he consistently held the top spot on the ranking list, enjoying unparalleled prestige.

But this prodigy died suddenly and unexpectedly without warning.

At the time, people did not know the reason.

It wasn't until later, when a large-scale purge of the spirit-controlled assassins was carried out and the source was traced back, that it was finally discovered that the spirit boxes were placed by the Kree, thus revealing the hidden hostility of the alien civilization.

Later, someone reported the incident in the game and received a generous reward. Only then did everyone realize that reporting in the game could actually be effective!

Shen Hua came here specifically to destroy the spirit box.

Destroying the spirit box not only disrupts the Kree's plans and reduces the possibility of future assassinations, but also grants a significant amount of pure spiritual energy upon killing the spirit.

Just like what he is absorbing now, the spiritual energy is very pure, and the absorption effect is even higher than that of the [Qi Gathering Pill] of spiritual quality, and by a considerable margin.

Shen Hua had known for a long time that this village had a [Spirit Box], so he decisively came to eliminate the hidden danger.

……

Shen Hua sat down cross-legged, and strands of spiritual energy flowed into his dantian.

At the same time, he separated a wisp of spiritual energy and channeled it into the [Entropy Increase] flying sword, and the sword immediately began to radiate light.

He forged his first natal flying sword into a fire attribute, not only to counter intelligent machines, but also because its ability to burn spiritual bodies was a key influencing factor.

Previously, [Entropy Increase] was overshadowed by [Fire Spear], which is more effective in countering Omnics.

But in this context, entropy increase has finally begun to shine.

The flames of [Entropy Increase] are naturally effective against spirits, easily burning them to ashes.

If you switch to flying swords with other attributes, only metal and wood are somewhat better; water and earth are completely useless.

……

However, while absorbing spiritual energy, he also felt a little uneasy.

This was his intuition telling him that danger was imminent.

Therefore, he only absorbed the spiritual energy without refining it, and after temporarily storing it in his dantian, he got up and left.

Stepping out of the village, Shen Hua hopped on his motorcycle and drove back to the city.

But halfway through the journey, after traveling about eight or nine kilometers, he suddenly felt dizzy.

The feeling was like riding a roller coaster, with everything spinning around you.

Shen Hua was shocked and quickly braked to stop the car.

But the motorcycle was going too fast and suddenly went out of control. He was thrown off and crashed heavily onto the road.

His bones felt numb, as if they had fallen apart, and his skin stung painfully as it rubbed against the rough road surface.

Not only him, but an oncoming bus also inexplicably went out of control, swaying left and right and crashing wildly.

However, the bus did not rush towards Shen Hua, but instead veered off the road and overturned on the other side.

Shen Hua quickly took out a calming pill and swallowed it. The medicine took effect instantly, and the dizziness in his brain immediately subsided.

He struggled to his feet, supporting himself on the ground. Thinking about the reason, a surge of anger rose within him. It was the "yellow hamster"—it was definitely that yellow-skinned rat!

Just as Shen Hua had predicted, his sudden dizziness, along with the bus's bizarre loss of control, was indeed caused by the "yellow hamster."

Just now, the yellow-skinned mouse received a message from the spaceship: a spirit box has ruptured.

After obtaining the coordinates, it immediately rushed to the location at full speed.

As it flew through the air, it made no attempt to conceal its divine sense, which swept across the ground with unbridled abandon.

Its divine sense covered hundreds of kilometers, and Shen Hua had no way to avoid it, being swept over directly.

With the power of its divine sense, it could have easily killed everyone within a radius of several kilometers.

However, the powerful expert from the Blazing Sun realm who was dealing with him had already arrived on Blue Star. He dared not kill people indiscriminately and could only restrain his strength, using this level of divine sense to investigate.

However, the "Yellow Hamster" fell into a cognitive bias: it did not believe that the report it was made of three days ago was done by humans on Earth, but thought it was a spy sent by the Kree's hostile civilization to infiltrate Earth and deliberately sabotage their plans.

Therefore, when it scans with its divine sense, it only roughly distinguishes whether the creature is a creature of Earth, and skips over it if it is.

It was this misconception that caused it to miss out on Shenhua.

If it were to carefully scan Shen Hua's body, it would discover that Shen Hua was the one who destroyed the spirit box.

"You yellow-skinned rat, I will kill you in this lifetime!" Panting heavily, Shen Hua cursed in his heart.

In his previous life, the yellow-skinned rat successfully transcended tribulation and became an immortal, while Shen Hua only reached the Mahayana stage even after his lifespan was exhausted, making him no match for it at all.

I must kill this fiend to quell the hatred in my heart, no matter what, for both new and old grudges!

However, the immediate priority is to deal with the current situation.

Despite the excruciating pain all over his body, Shen Hua limped toward the overturned bus.

But after taking only a few steps, a thought instantly formed in his mind:

report!

This yellow-skinned rat must be reported again!

Since reporting is effective, he should make good use of this weapon.

The yellow-skinned rat dared to act so recklessly; it must pay the price!
