No strange things are allowed to evolve!

What a master! He could see through my true intentions in an instant.

Could he be a little genius with a spiritual root of wisdom?

But it doesn't matter.

Jiang Shu clearly knows that he is naturally cunning and ruthless.

So he replied:

But...she's just a bit slow and timid. In this unfamiliar place, knowing nothing, this is the only way she can slowly learn...

[Wu Yi: Stop pretending and speak properly, or I'm really going to block you.]

"Tsk."

Jiang Shu clicked his tongue: "This is going to be difficult."

It seems the only option is to be sincere.

Okay, my mistake. I promise it won't happen again, but I really don't know anything about the situation. Could you please explain it to me?

[No regrets: Yes.]

Then, a moment of silence.

Why don't you just say it?

Jiang Shu was getting impatient. He was about to send the message "Where are you?" when a long string of text suddenly appeared on his screen like a screen-filling message.

[Wu Yi: You can think of this as a trading place where evolvers can exchange what they need. The forum is for exchanging information, offering bounties for help, and the market is for acquiring the items you need.]

Everything here, no matter what it is, is of a very high level. I believe you can see that. This is because the entry threshold here is level twelve or above, and the level of evolutionary beings who have undergone a second sublimation. For them, the things they need are things that are hard to come by and can only be obtained from evolutionary beings of the same level.

This was the original intention behind its development—to enable advanced evolvers to obtain things that are difficult for them to acquire on their own in reality, thus achieving a win-win situation.

Therefore, there are no distinctions or divisions between forces and organizations here; the focus is entirely on the evolved individuals themselves. It is a major taboo to mention your own or others' real-world identities here, and I hope you can remember this.

However, you can rest assured that everyone who enters here, including you and me, has their identity kept secret. As long as you don't want anyone to know who you are, then no one will know.

Of course, you might worry that the person who issues the access card to you will know who you are, but that's okay. The person who can issue access cards will not appear in reality or interfere in real-world affairs.

I think you probably met that person in the incubator, and you've probably guessed his identity. Now I can tell you clearly that it's exactly as you think. They live in incubators and constantly move between different incubators.

In short, you too can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results here, just like everyone else. However, as a manager, you'll need to handle some daily order maintenance. In return, you'll enjoy certain special privileges, which are detailed in the manager's log, so I won't elaborate here.

Dude, is this your typewriter?

Jiang Shu really wanted to complain like this.

But at this point, his thirst for knowledge had outweighed his desire to complain.

Looking at the vast amount of information contained in these words, Jiang Shu finally understood why Mi Wang had advised him not to use the other functions of the access card for the time being, except for traversing the incubation ground.

Not to mention that the managers are all monstrous masters with catastrophe-level skills, even a random person is at least level twelve, an evolved being who has undergone a second sublimation.

It felt like I was the one who wasn't qualified to sit at the same table with them.

Although it was said that his identity was kept secret, Jiang Shu knew the internet too well. Many times, he didn't even need to retrieve information. He could find out a person's background just by reading a few words in their speech. As long as they mentioned something related to reality, he could reveal their identity.

Those who can hang around here year after year must be seasoned veterans.

If it weren't you, but someone else, like a courageous spirit root evolver who enjoys fighting, even with calamity-level skills and administrator privileges, you might still be tricked into revealing information by these people.

The bewildered suggestion seems to have its reasons.

This isn't a matter of whether you look down on someone or not; it's simply that the gap between the two is too large, and it's not something that talent and aptitude can bridge for now.

Just like the person on the other side, Wu Yi, without even asking himself many questions, can easily know what he knows and doesn't know, and what he cares about most right now.

It really proves the saying that there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names.

Wu Yi, it really does have that Wu Yi strategy vibe.

Of course, it's also possible that they've never been to Mengyi before. That's also possible; all the nutrients are being used for brain development, and they're lacking supplements.

Before Jiang Shu could fully process all of this information, a new message arrived:

[Wu Yi: In addition, everything I said above is true. I have no reason to lie to you because there is an agreement among managers that they cannot deceive each other. We may be hostile to each other due to certain unavoidable factors, and we may not like each other, but we cannot deceive each other. This is the rule.]

Among those who gave you the access card, some can detect lies, and they can view our chat history at any time. If they discover anything like this, our access card will be revoked.

Seeing the comprehensive supplement, Jiang Shu was surprised again.

If someone with catastrophic skills still has to strictly adhere to the rules here, then it seems the benefits of being a manager are quite numerous.

In addition, it can detect lies...

Confused?

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu tentatively asked:

From what you're saying, the people who issued us the access cards aren't on the same level as us?

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

[No doubt: At least in terms of permissions, they have level three permissions, I have level two permissions, and you have level one.]

Jiang Shu asked again:

What about their actual strength?

[无遗: I don't know.]

【have no idea?】

[Wu Yi: I have no reason to be hostile to them, nor is there any need to fight them. Moreover, since they don't interfere in reality, I don't care much about their strength. Apart from that, regardless of who is stronger or weaker, they created this world, and as a newcomer, I have no problem abiding by the rules they set.]

This person...

Jiang Shu smacked her lips.

That's such a pretentious thing to say!

Oh well, if they have the means to act all high and mighty, there's nothing we can do about it.

But Jiang Shu still silently wrote down these words.

He felt he might need it in the future.

"As long as it doesn't interfere with me going my own way, I don't mind playing along with them."

That's so cool.

Perhaps feeling that he had said almost everything that needed to be said, he left nothing out:

[Nothing to be found: Everything you want to know is here.]

Jiang Shu nodded in agreement.

If it were me, I would probably ask: Is there anything else you want to know?

But the other person was very confident, saying that he was telling them everything he wanted to know.

And that is indeed the case.

Therefore, Jiang Shu expressed the highest level of respect.

【Very good, I approve of you. If you want to show off your health bar, I'm always ready.】

[Wu Yi: ...I'm starting to doubt my judgment of you.]

After a pause, the other party continued:

[Wu Yi: Also, let's change the name.]

【Row. 】

Jiang Shu didn't think much of it, opened her personal profile, and changed her name.

Strangely, even though he didn't do anything, the word "dedication" suddenly appeared in the name column.

It cannot be changed or canceled.

Jiang Shu found it hard to believe.

Wait a minute, why... why the hell did they scan my disk?!

[Wu Yi: It seems you've discovered that each administrator's name is the name of their catastrophic skill.]

Jiang Shu found it hard to believe.

[If that's the case...won't everyone know what my Cataclysmic Skill is?]

[Wu Yi: Well, although I don't understand it either, it seems that the Level 3 users think this can help us build a bond of trust. I won't comment on how effective it is, but you can rest assured that it won't have any impact on you.]

First, no one knows who you are. This name is only displayed to administrators and cannot be seen by ordinary users. You can also use any name that they can see later. Second, as long as you don't say anything, level one and level two users will not know the effect of your skill. Each calamity-level skill is unique and can only be acquired again more than a hundred years after the previous holder dies.

Furthermore, after the death of the previous holder, all information related to the skill will disappear from this world. Not only will the written records disappear, but even memories will become distorted, similar to the Mandela Effect. I think you can understand what I mean by that.

So, "Invincible" is actually the name of your skill?

[Wu Yi: Hmm.]

So, it's collective amnesia...?

Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes.

So why can someone who is confused see what skills they possess and what effects they have?

Jiang Shu has no clue about this at the moment.

Since everyone is doing this, let's leave it at that for now.

Since no one knows who is who, if someone can hide from the other, it means they must have a way to hide themselves back.

Moreover, since it's said that this situation has never occurred, there really doesn't seem to be anything to worry about.

"Don't dwell on what has already happened, lest you add to your troubles," is Jiang Shu's life motto.

Furthermore, since everyone's calamity-level skills are transparent, it's as if none of them are transparent. And this isn't necessarily all bad; it might be a way to bluff and make everyone think that you are also a hidden master, thus gaining some benefits that you can't obtain with your current strength and connections.

Besides, strictly speaking, I wasn't bluffing.

I really do have a Cataclysmic skill.

It's just a bluff for Xiao Ke to come up and call himself a fool.

I should be considered honest and law-abiding.

With this in mind, Jiang Shu stopped thinking about it and asked instead.

By the way, how did you get your chat box? Why is it gold?

[Wuyi: Administrator certification; this is what it will look like after certification.]

Does not verifying mean you have no permissions?

[Wu Yi: No, you can use the permissions without authentication, but authentication can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, since the authentication is visible to everyone.]

"Oh, then I won't get verified."

Jiang Shu knew what the trouble meant; it was nothing more than some doubts and questions.

This is exactly what I wanted.

If others can tell at a glance that you are a manager, how can you pretend to be a sweetheart and become a darling of the forum?

[Wu Yi: Whatever. I've taken up too much time here. I have other things to do, so I'm leaving now.]

Okay, thank you.

There was no further reply.

Jiang Shu exited the chat window, thought about it carefully, and decided not to change the name that could be seen by anyone other than the administrator.

A string of numbers is the most classic ID; there's absolutely no need to change it.

So he simply exited the dark web page.

The access card was back in my hands.

Now its only remaining function is to take you back to the hatchery you've already conquered.

As Jiang Shu stood up from the toilet, he felt a slight numbness in his legs.

Just as I was leaning against the partition trying to catch my breath, the phone suddenly rang.

"Where have you been? Don't you know we're going to be late?!"
