Chapter 183 - 167: Wild Thoughts
The three-stage task targets previously announced by the system have provided information that the woman in front of him is actually a killing field player. Therefore, what Li Cheng is more concerned about are the last two keywords in the other party’s last sentence:
Otherworld, and humanity.
There are only two ways for players to be produced: either randomly assigned by the killing field or by killing other players to forcibly seize their qualifications.
Early on, national organizations on real Earth discovered that although the killing field was random, it tended to select those with stronger adaptability, willpower, execution, and professional skills.
Thus, during the early period, various countries would select elite soldiers from military and police departments, intentionally allowing them to come into contact with, handle, and resolve extraordinary incidents to increase their chances of being selected by the killing field.
At the same time, besides humans, animals, especially large animals, can also be randomly chosen as players. Moreover, their task forms are different from that of humans.
For example, the task given to a sperm whale might be to hunt ten giant squids. For stray cats and dogs, their task could be to escape from an animal shelter before being euthanized.
Overall, the number of animal players is much less than that of human players, and their growth is slower (it takes a long time just to reach the average level of human intelligence), so it is not an urgent issue.
What triggers national concerns is the situation where Earth players die in script tasks, and their qualifications are acquired by natives of the script world.
"Using the internal terminology of the killing field, I am a naturally born Spiritual Ability User. At the age of fourteen, I committed suicide in a mental hospital. My body died, but my soul remained, aimlessly drifting across the seas, attracted by an underground religious altar in the deep mountains of Japan, absorbing the faith of local villagers, gradually regaining consciousness."
Jiang Zhihui stated, "When my spiritual body was on the verge of dissolution, a new player from the Otherworld, who was inexperienced and unenhanced, coincidentally descended from the sky to complete a mission.
