Gamers Are Fierce

School, classroom, lunch break.

Li Ang growled with a grimace: "Turn it off! Turn it off! You must turn it off! If you don't shut down those online games, how can children have a bright future, how can they have a promising future, how can there be talents for the country!"

"..."

Wang Congshan, who was watching a show on her tablet, twitched her eye and glanced at Li Ang, sitting next to her with headphones on, playing King's Glory on his phone. She sighed and joked, "Even if you say that, the opponents won't disconnect automatically..."

"Ah!!"

Amidst Li Ang's wails, the five heroes dressed in garish costumes on the phone screen rushed in and destroyed his base's crystal completely.

"Ugh..."

Li Ang slumped in his chair, sighed, and threw his phone into the desk. The version updates of this game, King's Glory, were too fast, and it was very unfriendly for players like Li Ang, who never read equipment instructions and relied on fate for gear.

Moreover, his killing speed was not as fast as his four teammates' rates of dying. While he was sightseeing in the jungle and chatting with the wild monsters, his teammates had already died several times.

Li Ang muttered: "Always getting matched with teammates whose names include things like Cute, Appreciation, Immortal, Snow, Love, Sian, Sauce, Sorrow, Strawberry, Apple, who can withstand this..."

"Hang in there, young man, try hard to rank up, or else we can't play ranked matches together."

Wang Congshan calmly swiped on her tablet and said, "By the way, you could try the new collaborative heroes; they're really strong."

"Collaborative heroes..."

Li Ang's eyelid twitched. So many things happened in the real world during the two days he was gone.

For example, the Special Affairs Bureau developed a rice-sized human chip, which can be painlessly implanted in the wrist using an instrument. It can monitor body functions, report health status of blood and organs in real-time, and, if necessary, help make emergency or police calls.

It can also bind personal identification and complete operations like unlocking electronic doors, unlocking computers, accessing train stations, and checking out at consumer sites.

These human chips are all free and currently being trialed on a small scale in certain areas, with potential for widespread promotion in the future.

For concerns about human chips exposing personal privacy, causing class solidification, or even life threats, the Special Affairs Bureau is explaining and educating across different platforms time and again,

stating that human chips are mainly preparation for future super skyscraper-type cities.

The situation in the Killing Field Game is constantly evolving. Considering that super-sized routine missions may occur in the future, undefended modern cities are indeed not a very safe form of residence.

The best solution is to move all the city's inhabitants into several giant buildings—which are constructed of high-strength materials, making it hard to be devastated by extraordinary forces. Inside, there are ubiquitous surveillance and individual chips, automatically monitoring every nook and cranny and every resident to prevent small anomalies from suddenly becoming disasters.

Aside from the human chip, another significant matter is the door battle guessing.

Since the third stage only lasted two days, the whole guessing process could be said to have ended hastily. The Global Occult Coalition and official organizations in various regions still managed to find ordinary people who guessed correctly,

prompting various news reports.

For example, someone abroad guessed the Life Potion reward correctly and used the resale money to buy a mansion and luxury cars that very day.

A young worker in a certain place guessed the qualification of a player correctly and was escorted away in an armored vehicle that very day.

And so on.

Being a relative of a Special Affairs Bureau employee, Wang Congshan naturally participated in the guessing, but she didn't win.

Good things, it's all good things.

Thinking of this, Li Ang discreetly breathed a sigh of relief, automatically filtering out foreign news—like the small-scale street battle outbreak in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where Ant King and previously deceased Red Eye Yellow Moth's territories were swallowed up, and Ant King himself disappeared; the Global Occult Coalition issued a statement saying Michael is still alive but will miss the originally scheduled 100th episode special of the Wind Chaser show;

Prometheus Laboratory Company might merge with Gen-Sys Biotech Company, both exploring further cooperation with the European Heavy Industry Group;

The permanent real-world super-large routine tasks mentioned in the previous system notification are not good news for ordinary people or players.

Becoming a player at this time...brings more harm than benefit.

'It seems that the official organizations in each region haven't prepared to release the news yet...'

Li Ang glanced around the classroom at his classmates behaving as usual and thought to himself, "But it'll be soon. Once the door opens, these news can't be hidden."

Human chips, skyscraper cities, and Skynet monitoring systems all prove that the Special Affairs Bureau is working hard to protect ordinary citizens, exploring ways to maintain societal stability in the future,

so as for Li Ang's response measures...

He ultimately still let the Gorgon Bug Nest Fleet continue lurking offshore, while actively searching in the mall and auction house to see if there are any covert automatic protection items suitable for ordinary people.

If there's equipment that can disguise itself as a common item usually and activate automatically when encountering danger, putting it on Wang Congshan would also provide some peace of mind.

Otherwise, wait until Li Ang figures out further uses for Demigod Divine Power and Psychic Enchantment Ability and finds a way for Wang Congshan to become an unknowing minor adherent of flesh worship and Lord of the Swamp—

In this respect, Li Ang has already made preparations.

As a demigod himself, by concentrating his focus, he can monitor the thoughts, perceptions, and what the believers see and hear, and when necessary, remotely channel divine power to the vicinity of believers, perform some heavily consuming demigod Divine Arts.

Higher-level deities are more efficient in utilizing divine power. They can even channel divine power directly into believers, transforming them into Human Saints or earthly avatars of deities.

Unfortunately, the Killing Field Game System didn't issue a tutorial like "Novice Demigod Ascension Guide"; everything has to be explored by oneself,

Apart from improving the Psychic Level and expanding the number of Brain Worms, Li Ang currently has no idea about the path of a demigod afterward.

Hmm...

The road to becoming a deity is long and arduous and requires great effort.

Li Ang sighed, took out his phone from the drawer, and closed the King's Glory interface.

The collaborative heroes Wang Congshan just mentioned, uh, it's actually a new event where some well-known folk players were incorporated into the game, including the pink-haired girl Dawn, who pilots the Capini Mech, and Ju Tianfu.

Honestly, seeing these faces in the game feels quite out of place,

even though Li Ang knows Dawn is a commercial activity, and Ju Tianfu is for increasing exposure to collect Power of Faith.
