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

The classroom fell silent.

Li Mingliang's lips twitched. It was the same familiar style after all…

He coughed, then immediately stood up and said:

"Brother Lin... don't listen to that woman's nonsense. Whatever you say goes, my brothers and I will definitely support you!"

Jiang Yuanji added, "That's right, Brother Lin, we'll all listen to you."

With the two leaders making their statements, the other players followed suit.

"Boss Lin is the top dog in our 911 newbie zone, we'll definitely listen to him!"

"Yeah, if it weren't for Boss Lin, the first two waves of beast tides on the playground might have washed away the 911 newbie zone, and we wouldn't be alive now."

"I'm a complete and unwavering supporter of Boss Lin!"

"Brainless +1!"

"..."

Lin Mo didn't care how many of these people were sincere or how many were just afraid of his strength; he simply nodded and said:

"Okay, once the newbie protection period ends, you can all choose to abstain."

After saying that, he sat down on the spot.

He ignored all attempts by others to get closer to him, simply leaning slightly against the lectern and closing his eyes to rest.

Seeing that he didn't respond, everyone gradually lost the will to speak.

The classroom fell silent, with only Xie Yue's faint wails coming from the back wall.

However, no one dared to leave the classroom, and no one dared to rescue her.

Even her former roommates, whom she considered her best friends, sat pale-faced with their heads down, afraid of being implicated by her.

A while later...

Since everyone was bored, they opened the world chat channel and game forums to browse.

Compared to the quiet and dull atmosphere in the classroom, the world chat channel and game forums were incredibly lively.

Apart from the numerous forum posts about "recognizing relatives," most of the discussions revolve around beginner trials and job change quests.

Unfortunately, the game has only just begun, and everyone is still clueless about how it will develop from here.

Nevertheless, a number of highly talented players have begun to emerge.

It started when a player with an A-level divine talent posted on the forum how long it took them to complete the beginner's trial.

2 hours.

It is absolutely astonishing.

Even Jiang Yuanji and Li Mingliang, who possessed B-level divinely bestowed talents, were shocked.

They did attempt to complete the beginner's trial again afterward.

Even with few people taking the challenge, it still took them five or six hours to barely pass the level.

The difference between Grade A and Grade B is so huge!

Below the post, there were naturally many players praising it.

However, this A-level God-given player's clear record did not remain on the popular list for long before it was quickly pushed down.

The reason is simple: more exceptionally talented individuals have broken records and broken popular trends.

Two hours to complete? That's rubbish! I completed it in one hour!

Haha, so a 1-hour record is enough to brag? Let me show you my 50-minute clear time!

##SS-level divinely bestowed talent, taking you on a lightning-fast newbie trial##

……

Various influential figures have started sharing their records.

The record of that A-level God-giver, who was initially adored by many players, has long since been wiped out.

All the records on the trending list are from the past hour.

50 minutes, 40 minutes, 30 minutes...

There was even a record of completing the game in 20 minutes at the end.

"20 minutes? There are 20 waves of beasts in total, which means each wave lasts less than a minute?"

Finally, someone in the classroom exclaimed in surprise, breaking the silence.

Everyone first looked up at Lin Mo, and seeing that he had no expression or movement, they began to discuss in hushed tones.

"What?! One minute?! Have you forgotten the first three waves of beast hordes? There are only 17 waves left."

"That's amazing, okay? Just what level of talent does this person have? Their strength is just too outrageous."

"It's at least S-level or higher. The A-level one from before only lasted 2 hours. It's far inferior."

"My goodness, Lin... cough cough, I'm afraid no one in our newbie zone could do that, right?"

"Sigh, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding."

"..."

Although Lin Mo closed his eyes, he was not asleep, and naturally heard these words.

But he didn't say anything.

In fact, he had read these records several times in his previous life.

In the early days of Blue Star Game, there were indeed many exceptionally talented individuals.

There are countless players with divine gifts, ranging from A-rank to SSS-rank.

Their divinely bestowed talents are all exceptionally high, and their completion records are all incredibly fast.

Lin Mo's [Cancer] is a late-game talent. Whether it's [Aberration], [Infinite Proliferation], or [Demonization], these talent skills require sufficient accumulation to continuously enhance.

Therefore, even if Lin Mo were to do it again, avoiding the issue of numbers, and with his rich experience, he could complete the battle within an hour at most.

But this is already the limit, yet it can only be listed at the very end of the trending list.

Not to mention, the real prodigies in Lin Mo's memory are still hiding behind the scenes and haven't even made their appearance yet.

Of the players currently on the popular list, there aren't many names that Lin Mo can actually remember.

However, having great talent and a fast completion time does not mean they are truly "strong".

As time goes by and the stage grows larger, it will gradually become clear whether these popular players are geniuses or idiots.

Among them are true prodigies who grow stronger with each battle.

There are also those who possess a mountain of treasures but choose to degenerate into worthless scoundrels.

Of course, there are many more players who give up halfway through.

"A genius, huh..."

Lin Mo slightly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.

"I wonder how many will be left before the Eternal War..."

Everyone in the classroom was focused on the game forums and the world chat channel, and no one noticed the change in Lin Mo's expression.

As the new player protection period ticked down second by second, the world announcement finally arrived:

[World Announcement 1: The new player protection period in the Blue Star region has ended, and the flow of time has returned to normal!]

[World Announcement 2: The Blue Star Region will soon be officially integrated with the Eternal Kingdom map, entering the first phase of the open beta. Players in the new player region, please make your own choice!]

[Friendly reminder: The map merging process will take 12 hours. Please be patient.]

The two global announcements were broadcast repeatedly on the public channel.

Most players were already mentally prepared for the first point.

However, many people do not understand what the second point means.

Before they could even figure it out, some people in the classroom started to panic.

"Holy crap, the map merging will take 12 hours, and I only have less than half a time coin left. What should I do?"

"Oh no, my time coins are really running out! I don't have enough to use!"

"Waaah, me too, what should I do?"

"I don't have many either, just 0.5. After the map merges, won't I still not have enough time to fight monsters?"

"..."

Several players looked visibly flustered.

They had almost used up their time coins just now in order to upgrade.

Now they have to wait another 12 hours, and they might die before the territory is even integrated.

Some players who had very few time coins left looked even more anxious.

Because they are unsure what the world will be like after the territories are merged, and when they will be able to kill monsters, level up, and gain time.

In fact, most new players who have just changed jobs will stay at Tier 1 for a long time.

Because time coins are hard to obtain, the resources on each newbie zone are limited.

If one focuses solely on leveling up, then even basic survival will become impossible in the short term.

However, if one remains stagnant and complacent, one will be left far behind and will never catch up with the tide of the apocalypse, only able to follow in others' footsteps, eating leftovers and picking up trash.

Therefore, the competition for unclaimed land in the newbie zone becomes extremely important.

Once the no-owner lands are merged, the starting area's territory will expand directly, and resources will at least double.

The more unclaimed lands are merged, the larger the starting area will be, and the more abundant the resources will be.

At that time, both upgrading and survival will be easily achieved without any delay.

Hearing the chaotic sounds in the classroom, Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes and gently tapped the desk of the podium with his finger.

The classroom fell silent the next moment.

All eyes turned to this god of death, who then uttered a statement that shocked everyone:

"I can lend you time coins if you're short on them."

What the hell!

Has the God of Slaughter become a Buddha?

Just as everyone was wondering whether Lin Mo was trying to "save all living beings" or "deliver all living beings from suffering," the other party continued:

"Borrow one, return ten; limited quantity, first come, first served."
