This Brother Yang is just like an old mom, but it has to be said that aside from being a bit of a daughter-con, he’s pretty decent indeed, dutifully providing him with lots of information.

He certainly needs to exchange resources and information.

Although there’s absolutely nothing in his pockets now, he can prepare in advance, right?

“As for migrating to a safe city, that’s absolutely unnecessary.”

Relocating to a safe city would only mean living at the mercy of others. Perhaps Brother Yang thinks it’s very safe, but he feels that a place where powerful figures are rampant is far from safe for weaklings.

The Eternal Continent is a dog-eat-dog world.

Compared to that, staying in his own territory, within the scope of his control, is more reassuring.

But, you never know.

If there’s a monster near his territory that’s too powerful to resist, he definitely won’t be able to pass the Novice Trial, then… strategic withdrawal is necessary.

“Brother Yang also mentioned that Xuan Country provides certain resource support for newcomers who are determined to break through the Novice Trial? That won’t bother me.”

He, Mu Yuan, loves freebies the most!

However, it isn’t time yet.

With just General Dead Bone, a single Skeleton Soldier, the potential he’s showing definitely isn’t enough. He’s indeed too weak.

Moreover, he isn’t clear about the situation in the Players Association, but since it’s said to be established in the city center, he’ll have time to take a look.

After taking another glance at the game status and giving Dead Bone a few pep talks, Mu Yuan used the invitation code given by Yang Kong.

Countless pixel blocks sprung from the screen, finally outlining a forum interface.

Quite something.

‘Ding Dong! Verification has been passed.’

‘Ding Dong! Player identity detected, automatically redirected to the newbie section.’

‘Ding Dong! As you haven’t registered yet, you won’t be able to post, purchase information, etc., on the forum, and the trial access will only last for 72 hours. Please register at the local association as soon as possible.’

Mu Yuan: “…”

He was thinking, what if a player doesn’t give a damn about the official staff and doesn’t register? Turns out the bait is here.

Having experienced the convenience of forum information, who can afford to lose it?

A player who doesn’t troll in forums isn’t a real player.

He currently only has trial access, and the only section he can enter is the newbie area. Surprisingly, the players here are very active, with the public chat channel being flooded with messages non-stop.

“By rights, there shouldn’t be many people who got the game qualification. Even if this forum gathers all the newbies from Xuan Country, the number of newbies in one year isn’t that many… The activity level seems like every newbie is trolling in the forum.”

“Oh, playing Supernatural Game and trolling in the official forum don’t seem to conflict with each other? Then it’s fine.”

Just like him now, glancing at the game from time to time. If nothing major happens, he just swaps back to the forum, without any interruptions.

No need to worry about computer lag either.

The operation of Supernatural Game doesn’t take up any computer CPU, it only needs a medium or carrier. As for the Tai Xuan Forum,… Well, it doesn’t seem to take up any memory either, this forum appears to be quite metaphysical too.

Thankfully it’s metaphysical. Otherwise, his old tortoise-shell notebook might not be able to handle it.

First, Mu Yuan looked at the featured posts. Compared to other forums, the information provided here is undoubtedly more comprehensive and detailed.

Everything he can think of, and everything he can’t think of, is here.

‘The best cultivation methods and combat strategies for Skeleton troops.’

‘How to conquer a Goblin Camp in the wild.’

‘Speculation about the Eternal Continent and Corruption.’

“Eighteen key details about the Novice Trial.”

Mu Yuan slowly looked at the fourth one and lightly clicked with his mouse.

“Ding——”

“Your balance is insufficient, please recharge, now redirecting to the recharge interface.”

“Ding! You have not registered your identity yet, so you cannot recharge. Please register your identity as soon as possible.”

Mu Yuan: “…” He wanted to flip the table (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!

But Mu Yuan didn’t want to register yet. Don’t be mistaken, he just didn’t want to go out.

Moreover, it was already 6 pm, the government workers would have already left work.

“Before I got this game, I felt the real world was safe. But now I see the tip of the iceberg underneath reality… Anyway, it’s better to be careful and try not to go out at night.”

“After all, with the large base of players, some people will inevitably take risks. There are definitely some wanted criminal players out there. Plus, occasionally, monsters cross the World Gap into Lanxing, and these monsters from the Eternal Continent often show more interest in players.”

Monsters don’t have a highly keen sense of smell, but if there are dozens of people in front of a monster, and one of them is a player, then these irrational creatures will surely pounce on the player first.

For monsters, players are naturally like bait.

The odds of this happening are low, but it’s better to guard against it.

“I need to strengthen my troops as soon as possible. Once my Lord’s territory has enough power, I’ll incorporate a few Skeleton Soldiers into my Lord’s Seal so I can call them out when it’s critical.”

Since he couldn’t mooch off the premium posts, Mu Yuan could only turn to other posts, hoping to dig out some valuable clues from the discussions of these foolish players.

Especially, those related to the Novice Trial.

The clues were more abundant than he had expected. Eight out of ten of these newbies were talking about the Trial, and two were asking questions.

Mu Yuan noticed that there were many Greenhands like him, all of them seeming to have emerged around this time.

Someone asked the same question as he did.

“Don’t you know? The Supernatural Game selection period for newbies happens in batches, about every half a year. Some areas might be early or late by a few days.”

“So the timing of the Novice Trials in different areas isn’t exactly the same. It will occur about a month after you obtain your gaming qualifications. During the Novice Trial, the world enters the phase of Red Mist Frenzy Moon, making the monsters exceptionally crazy, constantly assaulting your territory. This is the most dangerous moment for rookie Lords.”

“Of course, the rewards will be proportional to the danger. After passing the Novice Trial, players will receive gifts from the world, including a large amount of Soul Sand, troop upgrades, random recruitment of a group of troops, etc. Excellent players can also earn special buildings, special blueprints, and even troop buildings.”

“But hey, there are a limited number of special rewards. If you want to get them, it’s not enough to just survive the Trial, you also need to kill a large number of enemies… In simpler terms, you need to outperform the other newbies in your area to win the favor of Eternal World’s will.”

The player, known as ‘One Hand Information Dealer – No Middleman Margin’, didn’t seem like a Greenhand. He seemed more like an old player who had sneaked into the Greenhand area.

The motive, well, goes without saying.

Mu Yuan stroked his chin, “So the Novice Trial involves a ranking? While most players dare not face the Trial and can only strategically retreat, some newbies are actually preparing to compete for the ranking.”

Indeed, the gap between people is astonishingly enormous!

But are the other newbies this amazing? Isn’t it said that newbies can only summon a maximum of ordinary two-star, ordinary three-stars level troops?

A Player Not Rich Second Generation said, “It’s true that newbies can initially only recruit up to Three-star troops, but the troop’s star level isn’t everything. The player’s command ability, micro-management level, control over the troops, personal talent, luck, etc., are also important.”

“For example, I only randomly got a one-star Hedgehog, but within three days of joining the game, I’ve killed more than ten three-stars level monsters.”

Hiss——

Many players below expressed their amazement and asked this expert for his strategy.

Not Rich Second Generation said, “It’s really simple. As long as we buy a large number of Remnant Souls in the real world that can recruit three stars level troops, then use the link between reality and the Eternal Continent to reverse manifest in the game world, it’s easy to surround and kill the same grade monsters.”

“Unfortunately, we newbies can’t reverse manifest War Souls that can recruit Rare Rank Troops yet. And having people in our homes transport War Souls across the Eternal Continent, we’re worried that influencing the game world might affect the scoring of the trial, so it’s better not to for now.”
