Monsters Are Coming

At that time, he didn’t think much of it, after all, the probability of winning the qualification was too small, so he used it purely for daily check-ins.

As a result, when he opened the draw function, the consciousness touch was accompanied by the incredibly lucky draw of the Death Space Dungeon key.

The sudden surprise left him utterly stunned, followed by ecstasy.

The forums have numerous threads discussing Death Space, which mention the reward mechanism.

Even just completing the first round of the Death Trial can fetch substantial settlement rewards.

This is one of the few gameplay modes in Monster World that offers high sacrificial power returns.

To make this rare dungeon experience yield more sacrificial power.

Before entering Death Space, he looked through a vast amount of Strategy content posted on the forums, making full preparations.

It is certain that the construction of Death Space was referenced by the Lord of Jile from the multi-space scenery of the Cave World.

The first Old Army Group member to enter Death Space also discovered a new entrance to Blissful Space in the Cave World, thus getting drawn into the Death Space scene, becoming the first batch of pioneering players.

The difference lies in the fact that the Cave World’s scene really exists.

But Death Space is an illusion scene in consciousness experience mode, with only the rewards given by the Lord of Jile being real.

Within the Space, players cannot use Life Soul abilities, nor have any attribute enhancements; they can only participate as ordinary mortals.

So even they, as players, have no advantage in strength within Blissful Space.

They might not even be able to defeat the Bliss Players recruited by the Lord of Jile in the initial scene.

Everyone’s starting point is almost the same.

But they as players have a huge advantage, the Strategy threads left by the seniors on the forum.

For the initial Trial, he luckily drew a scene with detailed guidance, along with 21 Bliss Players who participated in the trial with him.

This time, he chose to stand out as the Team Genius, guiding the team through the tasks.

Yet even with the guidance, four Bliss Players died during the Trial Task.

But his excellent performance made him the leader of this rookie Jile Team.

After the enhancement in Death Space, he began the second trial, the third trial... except for the fifth trial with no Strategy, other rounds have forum posts that can be checked for quick clearance of the trial scenes.

In the eyes of the teammates, he is almost a mythical genius, the absolute core of the team.

And one of the top three in combat strength within the team.

But only Yang Xiu knew that his real strength was only combat strength.

Being able to join the Divine Hall Guild, and enter the assassin group that had the highest demand for combat skills, was all thanks to his technique.

As for the "strategically brilliant" according to his teammates, it relied on the successful paths treaded upon by the forum "seniors" with their lives.

During this process, he found himself growing rapidly.

Initially, he confidently spoke in front of teammates relying on the Strategy, as though the Death Trials were within grasp, immersed in the genius aura crafted by the guides, enjoying the admiration from his teammates.

However, the guides don’t solve all problems.

Death Trial Space also had version updates, the Lord of Jile would fix bug in the illusion scenes, each trial also required confrontation with enemy squad from opposing camps, bearing lots of unknown variables.

At crucial moments, when guides failed, he fell into confusion and helplessness, realized that the reliance on guides wasn’t all-powerful.

But it was the pressure from desperate situations that forced him to calm down.

Prior to this, as an experienced player, he always fought alongside the Divine King.

There weren’t many times when independent thought was required, the most important thing was following commands in combat.

But in Death Space, having positioned himself as the genius, he could only solve problems relying on himself.

The expectant gazes from teammates placed a tremendous pressure on him.

He began to rack his brains for solutions.

As thoughts surfaced one by one, he advanced from being a pseudo-wisdom toward a true Wisdom.

Recapturing the sense of control from reading guides early on, no longer fearing failure.

From then on, his mindset was one of willing to risk it all, at worst settling rewards back in the village.

But it was in this mindset, that he thought of solutions to problems in distress several times.

This success brought him immense satisfaction, not the false strength brought by reliance on guides early on.

He felt that he genuinely possessed the ability to cope with difficulties, and the mindset for problem-solving.

Gradually transitioning from a Strategy Guide Player to a true team leader.

Together with command rhythm learned from the Divine King, he united team members, overcoming one daunting trial predicament after another.

During this process, some teammates died and left the stage, while new teammates entered and joined.

Until now, only seven teammates remained and proceeded through the Death Trial along with him, descending into Monster World.

It can be said that each teammate surrounding him was a Super Soldier who escaped the death vortex with full effort.

More importantly, they all have the initial "talent" abilities granted by the Lord of Jile.

They are the absolute elite among Bliss Players.

The Life Soul Squad led by him ranked first on the contemporaneous squad (split space scenes) leaderboard before entering Monster World.

It seemed that the dungeon time had only passed a bit over half a month, yet returning to Monster World left Yang Xiu feeling like ages had passed.

Because he had already spent half a year in the illusion.

Together with the training time after each Death Space trial, after getting guidance, he learned that his consciousness had undergone 8 months and 13 days of honing in Death Space.
