I started by enhancing cancer cells and uniquely obtained the Godhood Sequence.

A few minutes later, the manticore, its eyes wide open in death, was torn into pieces and lay at the entrance of the cave.

[Ding! Successfully killed the Manticore (juvenile form), gaining 30 kill points. Current total points: 140.]

[The currently recommended class is: Radiant Assassin (matchmaking score 70). Would you like to use kill points to redeem this class?]

Has your profession remained unchanged...?

Lin Mo pondered.

A single manticore grants more points than a small murloc tribe.

In other words, the game rules were pretty much as he had guessed: it was about hunting stronger opponents of the same level.

Lin Mo glanced at the manticore corpse on the ground, and without wasting any time, the chain pierced into the corpse with a whoosh.

[Left lower extremity cancer lesion value: +2!]

Seeing the drained corpse on the ground, the little dwarf Kemi on his shoulder immediately shrank his neck, his face turning ashen.

Before Lin Mo could speak, he immediately said:

"Master, continue westward. There's a Minotaur calf that always bullies this manticore cub. It's definitely stronger."

"And there's more. Further east there are small tribes of Viknife monsters. Their overall strength is quite good, and there's plenty to go around."

"In addition, there are owl bear cubs in the southwest, scavengers in the northwest, and swamp bear-men further north..."

Kemi went on and on about all the suitable opponents in the vicinity.

These monsters and beasts varied in strength, but even the weakest Vic Mud Monster was much stronger than the Koto Fishman from before.

The strongest monsters are even stronger than ferocious beasts like the Centipede Beast and the Manticore.

After a moment's thought, Lin Mo selected the priority order for the hunt and began to take action.

The carnage unfolded silently in this primeval forest.

……

……

[Ding! Congratulations to players Li Mingliang, Jiang Yuanji, and others for successfully completing the Novice Trial and meeting the requirements for job advancement. Would you like to enter the Job Advancement Temple?]

As the last monster on the playground fell, the system notification sounded promptly.

"Finally... I beat the game!"

Li Mingliang sat down on the ground, looking completely exhausted.

Jiang Yuanji and the others around him weren't much better off. From the start of the game yesterday until they completed all the novice trial missions, they had experienced too many things.

They had been fighting day and night, and their bodies were exhausted.

Jiang Yuanji slammed his spear into the ground, panting as he looked at Li Mingliang and asked, "So? Do you want to change jobs?"

Li Mingliang said, "Nonsense, of course I'll change jobs."

After saying that, he stroked his chin and said, "That guy is probably close to completing his job change quest by now."

Jiang Yuanji shook his head and said, "I don't know. He... is too strong. He's beyond our comprehension."

Li Mingliang's expression turned indifferent, and he gave a self-deprecating smile: "That's right, this guy is a monster. Comparing yourself to him is just asking for trouble. A team of thousands of people is nothing in front of him."

Jiang Yuanji said:

"I advise you not to have any antagonistic feelings. Our failure has nothing to do with him; it's entirely our own fault."

"Moreover, thanks to Lin Mo, the 911 newbie zone was very fortunate. Otherwise, it might have been overrun by the beast tide and become a no-man's land, just like other newbie zones."

Speaking of this, Li Mingliang and the other players who had completed the game also looked terrified.

Since Lin Mo disappeared, a world announcement has been broadcast over the 911 newbie zone stating "XX newbie zone has become no man's land" without interruption, and it continues to this day.

"Just from now until now, I estimate there have been at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, right?"

"No, that's more than that! I'm counting, it's definitely over ten thousand!"

"Tsk tsk, a newbie zone with a few thousand people, that means tens of millions have already been killed!"

"I wonder how my parents are doing, whether they survived?"

"Sigh, I should take care of myself first."

"This isn't a game, it's the end of the world!"

"Who can argue with that..."

"..."

The players sighed and groaned. Even though they had just completed the beginner's trial, they didn't show much joy after witnessing yesterday's carnage.

Too many people have died!

Even though they survived the ordeal, seeing the constant stream of world announcements in the sky still gave them a sense of shared sorrow.

Li Mingliang sneered:

"Hmph, I advise you to accept reality. The days ahead won't be any easier than these past two days. All that awaits us is an even crueler future."

Hearing him say that, the other players also looked desperate.

They struggled so much with just a beginner's trial mission, let alone facing the future.

The excitement of the first day of the game had long since vanished, replaced by worry about the future.

Jiang Yuanji declared loudly, "That's precisely why we, as members of the newbie zone, should stick together and support each other!"

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "If... he were willing to help us, our situation might improve a lot."

Upon hearing this, many players envisioned Lin Mo's invincible presence on the battlefield.

Those monsters that were hideous and terrifying to them were like lambs to the slaughter in his hands, powerless to fight back.

If such people are not treated as enemies, but as friends or leaders, what do they have to fear in the 911 newbie zone?

Just thinking about it makes me feel awesome!

But the next second, Li Mingliang shattered their illusions:

"You're overthinking it. Yan Zhou has already proven that with his life, so you shouldn't even think about it."

Instead of thinking so much, I should think about how to complete the job change quest.

The players looked even more dejected.

Even a big shot like Yan Zhou, Lin Mo, wouldn't give him a second thought, let alone people like them.

Jiang Yuanji remained silent for a moment before continuing, "Alright, I'll prepare for the job change quest now."

"So fast? Are you out of your mind?!"

Li Mingliang glanced at Jiang Yuanji, who was covered in injuries.

Jiang Yuanji said in a deep voice, "We've already wasted a lot of time. If we don't fight hard now, I'm afraid we won't even have the chance to fight hard later."

Li Mingliang gritted his teeth: "Fine, I'll go too."

Other players also chimed in.

"So are we."

"I'm not afraid of dying."

"..."

Seeing countless newbie zones reduced to empty lands, not only Li Mingliang and Jiang Yuanji, but all the other surviving newbie players on Blue Star felt a great sense of crisis.

[World Announcement: The Yan Kingdom's 1643 beginner area has been overrun by monsters and has become a no-man's land.]

[World Announcement: The 5422 newbie zone in the Great Cold Kingdom has been overrun by monsters and has become a no-man's land.]

[World Announcement: The newbie zone in the Lighthouse Nation 2345 has been overrun by monsters and turned into a no-man's land.]

【…】

Golden characters flashed continuously in the sky, and in less than a minute, countless waves of world announcements were released.

The death toll across the entire planet continues to soar.

The players in the 911 newbie zone looked up at the large golden characters in the sky, their eyes filled with deep fear...
