Gamers Are Fierce

"Is that your idea of standing at attention? Step your front foot forward a bit. You want to be an idol with that kind of timidity?"

"Keep your nose a little higher."

"Adjust your pupil color to light blue, but not too blue."

"Double eyelids, with a slight curve at the corners of your eyes, and eyebrows that are both slender and aggressive. Your gaze should have a soul-stealing allure."

"Adjust your skin's RGB to 254, 241, 225... make it a bit whiter, right."

Chaichai directed Double Blade Turkey in a manner akin to a stylist, molding him from a terrifying monstrous arm into a charming, idol-like pretty girl.

Of course, for the sake of convenience and energy efficiency, Double Blade Turkey only created an outer shell. Beneath this charming exterior, there was no brain or organs.

"So, how's my skills in 'face sculpting'?"

Chaichai admired her work, proudly saying to Li Ang, "Beauty is justice. As long as you look good enough, even if you're an alien Bug Clan with colonial ambitions, humans would still be enamored."

Li Ang twitched his lips, not bothering to correct Chaichai's misunderstanding that the first-generation Bug Clan were purely earth-based organisms (newer hive units incorporated genes from many Lost World species),

Since Chaichai was so eager to play, he let her be. If the plan succeeded, all the better; if not, no significant loss.

Li Ang had more pressing matters to attend to.

He went into the Alchemy Workshop and reviewed his status,

Swamp God Power 5000/5000, Spirit Energy Value full, Spiritual Energy abundant.

Li Ang nodded and exhaled, taking the Shining Dice of Destiny from his inventory.

Holding the dice firmly in his palm, the Swamp God Power surged out from his hand.

The mighty divine power touched the black dice surface with white letters and was absorbed furiously, as if encountering a vortex, showing no signs of penetration or anomaly.

Four thousand points,

Three thousand points,

Two thousand points.

The Divine Mark on Li Ang's hand flickered unpredictably. The Swamp God Power he had painstakingly accumulated,

like water in a swimming pool siphoned by an unscrupulous manager,

was rapidly depleting.

Soon, the Swamp God Power was exhausted, and his psychic abilities quickly took over.

Before using the Shining Dice of Destiny for the first time, it required approval from the dice itself. This meant injecting a significant amount of transcendent power for the dice to recognize the user as a strong candidate to join.

Throughout this process, the owner of the dice must personally inject their transcendent power, without any external aids,

like consuming potions to restore Spirit Energy or positioning oneself in a Spiritual Energy-rich Cave Heaven or Blessed Land.

The psychic abilities were nearing depletion, Sanity Value quickly declining,

Li Ang stopped releasing Spiritual Energy, allowing the dice to draw Spirit Energy directly from him instead.

In the gate battle, one could gain rewards like Experience Points and Game Coins. Although Li Ang hadn't seen any so-called Supervisor emerge to personally distribute items,

he still received Experience Point rewards for killing the Red Eye Yellow Moth and Qingqiu, as well as commanding the hive to extinguish the Otherworldly Player.

His level increased to Level 23, with an Experience Bar of 1814/2300,

and his Spirit Energy Value limit went up to 2500.

Typically, a newcomer just becoming a player, with no exposure to transcendent power, theoretically possesses a Spirit Energy Value equal to (Intelligence + Perception Attribute)/2 * 100.

If both Intelligence and Perception Attributes start at five points, the theoretical Spirit Energy Value is 500 points.

In practice, the Spirit Energy Value displayed on the player's personal panel is lower than the theoretical data,

because the Killing Field game panel only shows the actual total Spirit Energy a player can presently use, not the full potential (the same principle applies to Strength and Agility Attributes, not calculated according to human physiological limits).

This principle was posted on the player forums long ago, and further details were added later,

indicating that players who cultivate a strength system can maximize their potential Spirit Energy Value, upgrading its limits, and even exceeding them.

Before entering the Lost World, Li Ang's Spirit Energy Value limit was 1800 points,

Now, his Divine Power had breakthrough to Demigod, and his Psychic Enchantment Ability reached level three, coupled with the slight boost from the Ripple Breathing Method, setting his Spirit Energy Value limit at 2500 points.

Notably, after his promotion to Demigod,

the name of the Divine Mark, from Roanoke God Seal,

changed to ??? Divine Mark,

which Li Ang then renamed "Lord of Flesh and Swamp," completing the naming.

Finally, when the Spirit Energy Value stood at 450/2500,

the dice emitted what sounded like a cracking noise.

Crackle——

The descent of Spirit Energy halted, and the dice began emanating a metaphorical wavelike thought, translating naturally into a recognizable meaning within his mind.

"Greetings, esteemed Transcendent. Congratulations on passing the 'Super Good Friends League' admission review. Your dice number is WY940****157, please do not lose or abandon it. You can use the Shining Dice of Destiny once every 24 hours. For more details, please read the user manual in the conscious interface."

It's an impressive level of technical skill.

Li Ang's eyes sparkled as he engraved the thought waves into the item. When activated, it would emit these waves, automatically translating the message into universally understandable terms for all intelligent beings,

which sounds easy, but is incredibly challenging to execute.

As of now, Li Ang could only communicate with some higher-level plants to a limited degree, getting them to understand what he meant at the cost of some Divine Power.

Li Ang infused his thoughts into the dice, and one side immediately projected a large text hologram,

which, upon glancing at it, turned out to be the rules of the Shining Dice of Destiny.

Just like the item description mentioned, the creators of the Shining Dice of Destiny, the Super Good Friends League, claim to be a large private enthusiasts' club with "long-standing operation, reputable, and with members widely distributed across the Multicultural Crystal Wall System,"

where Li Ang, by using a deceased member's dice, got an expedited membership process, becoming a junior member of the Super Good Friends League.

Junior members can use the dice once every 24 hours,

continuously paying transcendent power into the dice could upgrade them to a mid-level member, allowing use every 12 hours.

After becoming a mid-level member, you may visit the headquarters of the Super Good Friends League,

complete the registration, and obtain permission to develop subordinates—

that is, you can introduce Transcendents to join the Super Good Friends League,

the more you introduce, the more points you'll earn within the organization,

and the subordinates you develop, including their own subordinates, also provide some of these points,

culminating in advancing to a senior member who can use the dice every hour.

One moment, you're a peerless martial saint; the next, a legendary mage scorching mountains and boiling seas,

you could even seamlessly switch between powers with careful usage, always having one more permanent form than your peer-level Transcendents, reaching the pinnacle of life, never needing to painstakingly cultivate again,

lying down idly and still receiving transcendent power daily.

All of this information was meticulously annotated in the document, even illustrated with several images,

featuring a gray-skinned, big-eyed alien with limbs as thin as matchsticks, wearing a semi-transparent spacesuit, standing proudly in front of an imposing spaceship, captioned with the following:

"Mr. ምጨረ joined the Super Good Friends League eight months ago and became the planet's largest military warlord through his determination. Balancing career in his left hand, family in his right, he radiates youthful exuberance and has achieved miracles. Your hesitation today may cost you tomorrow's success. What are you waiting for? Join the Super Good Friends League and share the universe with us."

"Develop subordinates to earn points, recruit people to form tiers, leveraging subordinate 'performance' as a profit basis..."

Li Ang looked at the picture, brimming with absurdity, and read the rules guide, twitching the corner of his eye, firmly establishing in his mind, "This is indeed a P2P platform..."
