"You bastard! Do you know who I am? If you dare to kill me..."

Before Father Can Rival a Nation could finish his sentence, he vanished beneath the greatsword of Sorrowful Sword Elegy.

"Noisy."

Seeing Sorrowful Sword Elegy walking toward them with his sword, the remaining players were terrified and begged repeatedly: "Boss, spare us! We were just doing this for money; we never actually intended to target you guys!"

"Oh?" Sorrowful Sword Elegy stopped in his tracks. "Does anyone know what the background of that Father Can Rival a Nation is?"

"This..."

The group looked at each other.

"You're not talking, huh?" Night Raid Widow Village put on an arrogant, sycophantic face. "Boss, lend me your sword, and I'll squash them all for you!"

"Don't!" the leading player said with a mournful face. "We don't know the specific background of that guy either. We only know he seems to come from a very powerful Transcendent family, and those martial artists were all his lackeys."

"Yeah, that's right!" another player added. "They are extremely passionate about combat simulation games with high fidelity and freedom."

"We are all high-level players of infinite sequence, and... we were also hired by them as long-term gaming companions."

"Gaming companions?"

Sorrowful Sword Elegy glanced at the group. Many of the IDs were familiar; they were indeed high-level players active on the 'infinite sequence' forums.

"So, you must have been working for Father Can Rival a Nation for quite a while, right?"

"About two or three years, I guess," the player didn't hide it. "Can't help it, he just pays too much."

The monthly companion fee alone was as high as 100,000 yuan, which was on par with the subsidy for a First-Order Transcendent, plus the resources he bought back at high prices.

They could earn enough for a third-generation gene modification agent in about half a year.

"Since you've been following Father Can Rival a Nation for so long, it's unlikely you'll betray him in the future, right?"

"That is of cour..."

Before the player could finish, a flash of sword light sent all twenty of them away.

"Since that's the case, I can't give you the chance to develop."

Sorrowful Sword Elegy sheathed his sword, pulled out the long spear dropped by Father Can Rival a Nation, and tossed it to Rose with Leg Hair.

"Catch!"

"A Green Weapon!"

Rose with Leg Hair's eyes lit up, and she held the spear, unable to put it down.

Regarding Sorrowful Sword Elegy's distribution, no one had any objections.

In this seven-person team, everyone tacitly agreed to unconditionally follow Sorrowful Sword Elegy's arrangements.

When Sorrowful Sword Elegy was absent, My Cat Can Do Backflips was the default captain, followed by the big sister, Rose with Leg Hair.

My Cat Can Do Backflips liked to play as a mage regardless of the game, so this spear didn't suit him.

And Rose with Leg Hair's character in 'infinite sequence' was a female general in red, so this spear was perfect for her.

"Boss, what should we do?" Your Dad Flies in the Sky looked worried. "That Father Can Rival a Nation doesn't look like a pushover. We are few and weak; we will inevitably be targeted by them in the future."

My Cat Can Do Backflips looked at him with a dark gaze. "A Fei, you aren't trying to persuade the boss to surrender to the enemy, are you?"

"Impossible!" Rose with Leg Hair slammed the spear into the ground. "We joined 'infinite sequence' late and still survived when so many veteran guilds targeted us, didn't we?"

"Now we are Day-One players, what's the point of bowing down to others?"

Your Dad Flies in the Sky shrank his neck. "Why are you all looking at me? I didn't say that."

"No rush," Sorrowful Sword Elegy said calmly. "Everyone, start by mining to accumulate resources, and keep an eye out for new players logging in."

"Once new players log in, tell them that joining our guild gets them a free White Sapper Shovel, and they'll be carried by high-level players to fight monsters in the future."

My Cat Can Do Backflips's eyes brightened. "Understood!"

...

...

"Huh?"

Lu Chuan stared at the constantly increasing player count on his computer screen and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

"It actually broke one hundred people within a day?"

"In that case..."

As Lu Chuan's fingers danced rapidly across the keyboard, the players in the Beginning World simultaneously received a message:

[Detected that the number of players in the Instance has exceeded one hundred, Task System activated!]

[Daily Task 1]: Wood × 10. (100 yuan energy)

[Daily Task 2]: Stone × 10. (150 yuan energy)

"My god, the buyback price for Wood and stone was only one yuan energy, but the task system actually increased it tenfold!"

"Look at the Main Task, there's a Gold Weapon!"

[Main Task (All)]: Build a City Defense Array/City! (Wood: 350 million, Stone: 920 million, dark energy crystal: 10,000.)

[Task Reward 1]: 2 billion yuan energy (distributed uniformly according to each player's contribution value after the task ends.)

[Task Reward 2]: Random Gold Weapon × 1 (reward for the player ranked first in contribution value), Random Red Equipment × 1 (reward for players ranked in the top ten in contribution value), Random Purple Equipment × 1 (reward for players ranked 11th to 60th in contribution value), Random Blue Weapon (reward for players ranked in the top 100 in contribution value).

"Holy crap, 350 million Wood, 920 million stone, and also 10,000 dark energy crystals! How long will this take!" Night Raid Widow Village looked incredulous.

"And these things are all for direct submission to the task; we won't have any income until the task is finished."

My Cat Can Do Backflips's expression was also somewhat solemn.

Faced with such a daunting Main Task, many players began to consider quitting.

"No, we must have sturdy city walls and a protective array; this world is far more dangerous than we imagine."

Sorrowful Sword Elegy was firm.

He recalled the giant bat and the swarm of Giant Gnawing Rats he encountered when he first arrived.

"But not right now. Our top priority is to save up enough yuan energy to exchange for weapons and equipment, and then go out to grind monsters."

"Once our levels go up, completing the Main Task will be a piece of cake."

Your Dad Flies in the Sky took a look at the game shop. "The shop has updated too; it released a White Axe!"

Axe (White): Attack +4, Defense +2, Speed -3. (4 yuan energy).

The stats are almost the same as the heavy hammer.

One can be used to collect Wood, and the other can collect stone.

"Anyone who joins our guild will be given a Sapper Shovel, plus an axe or a heavy hammer, so everyone can take turns in pairs to complete the daily tasks."

The axe is fine, but the heavy hammer is too heavy.

For lower-level players, it's actually a burden in combat.

...

...

Soon, a new day arrived.

The moment the midnight bell rang.

The settlement rewards arrived on time.

[Your world has given birth to a new species "Humans", reward "Ancient God Bloodline + 0.01%"]

[Your world has given birth to a new "Civilization", reward "Ancient God's Protection" × 1.]

[Your world has produced an advanced civilization, reward "Faith Channel".]

...

Players count as a new species too!?

This was an unexpected surprise.

However, what gave Lu Chuan the biggest headache was that after using the first [Ancient God's Protection], the evolution of species in the Beginning World began to stagnate.

Coupled with the arrival of players, Lu Chuan completely locked the time flow ratio between the Beginning World and the real world at 1:1.

At this rate, Lu Chuan probably won't be able to raise his Ancient God Bloodline to 20% and unlock the Second Sequence in his lifetime.

"Looks like I'll have to find a way to get some genes of Transcendent Creatures."

Then I'll give the game a server-down update.

Simply perfect!

"I wonder when the players in the Beginning World will reach the player cap."

Because it was just starting, Lu Chuan's yuan energy was limited.

Every time players died and logged off, or completed a daily task, Lu the Great Philanthropist would lose a portion of yuan energy.

To be safe, Lu Chuan limited the number of the first batch of players to under 300.

"After the second [Ancient God's Protection] is used, I will expand the player cap again." Lu Chuan planned silently.

...

...

Meanwhile, on a forum Lu Chuan didn't know about.

A post was spreading rapidly with extremely high popularity:

[Shock! Toutou discovered a game capable of sweeping the entire gaming world! 100% fidelity, 100% freedom, art and modeling that can be called art-level, and it's completely free!!!]
