「On Blue Star’s side.」
At the sa ti the Insect Civilization was making its final preparations for war,
outside the Arctic Circle, the Human Alliance’s army of a million soldiers had long since deployed and were ready.
At the very front of the Star Gate.
The Human Alliance did not rashly send human troops into danger.
Instead, they chose to use over ten million drones to et the first wave of conflict.
Of course, at the sa ti, the Human Alliance had also pulled back to a safe distance.
Under constant satellite surveillance,
the Human Alliance was also prepared for a missile bombardnt.
Once the Star Gate solidified, the Human Alliance would instantly launch a massive number of high-explosive missiles at it.
These missiles included graphite bombs, white phosphorus munitions, fuel-air explosives, and thermobaric bombs.
In short, the Human Alliance would unleash a saturation strike on the Star Gate in the first wave, using almost every type of large-scale weapon of mass destruction in their arsenal.
And only after the first round of saturation strikes would the army of machines be deployed.
Even if the enemy’s first wave broke directly through the drone, robot dog, and android defenses, the Human Alliance still had several terrifying weapons, no less powerful than nukes, waiting for the Insect People’s arrival without even needing to use their nuclear arsenal.
One should not underestimate the weapon stockpiles the Human Alliance had amassed in the nearly twenty years since its founding.
With the preparations the Human Alliance had made these past few days, even without borrowing the Players’ strength, it was enough to give the Insect People a hell of a ti.
However, the Human Alliance had also anticipated the worst-case scenario.
That would be the Otherworld civilization imdiately deploying High Tier Extraordinary Power, or even Saint Tier Extraordinary Power.
In this regard, the Human Alliance didn’t have many good options.
They could only hope that the saturation strike would have so effect.
Of course, they placed even more hope in the power of the Player legions.
And among them, the one the Human Alliance anticipated the most was naturally the power of Lince, the Chief.
And so, in the final monts of the Human Alliance’s tense war preparations, on another front,
the True Ga finally issued a war recruitnt mission to all Players on Blue Star.
[Server-Wide Announcent!]
[Blue Star will face an Exotic Star war in one hour. A large-scale real-world war recruitnt mission is now being issued!]
[Enemy Faction: Green Saturn, Taven Insect People]
[Friendly Faction: Blue Star, all of humanity and all Players.]
[Recruitnt Target: All Players.]
[This real-world war instance will activate a points system. By killing Insect People, Players can obtain a variable amount of points. After the war, these points can be used to redeem corresponding Extraordinary Artifacts in the points store that will open.]
[There are two modes for this war: 1. Real-World Defense Mission; 2. Exotic Star Sabotage Mission.]
(1. Real-World Defense Mission: Players must assist Blue Star’s military in containing the Insect People and annihilating any who break through the lines.)
(2. Exotic Star Sabotage Mission: Players will use the power of the True Ga to directly Descend into certain safe zones on the Exotic Star and carry out sabotage missions.)
(Note 1: In this large-scale real-world war instance, all Players will have a resurrection chanism. That is, no Player’s real physical body will be committed to the war. During the war, all Players’ bodies will be ’cloned’ and coalesced by the True Ga. At the sa ti, all Players participating in the war will possess the full power of their ga characters!)
(Note 2: All Players have a base of 1 resurrection. Subsequent resurrections must be exchanged for points at a rate of 100 points per chance. Players who do not choose to resurrect within half an hour of death will be considered to have failed the ga. Upon failure, a Player will only retain the points they personally earned and will be excluded from the post-war rating rewards for all Players.)
(Note 3: During the war, if a Player harms their own or friendly units, they will be penalized with negative points. If negative points exceed a certain threshold, they will be punished by having their account banned. After a ban, the Player will lose all power obtained in the ga. Please be aware.)
(Note 4: During the war, Player points are transferable, but only for the purpose of transferring points required for another Player’s resurrection. Please take note.)
[Friendly Reminder: In one hour, at the sa ti the Arctic battlefield opens, Blue Star will instantly complete its Low Demon ascension. The ascension process will be accompanied by global-scale abnormal phenona. All Players, please be aware.]
[Friendly Reminder: In one hour, the True Ga will simultaneously go live. Of the 1.5 million third-round Blue Star Players who have drawn ga qualifications, 1.2 million will enter the Oakland World and Karte World to play. However, 300,000 Players will also enter Green Saturn to ’play’.]
[The 300,000 Green Saturn Players will all be in a unified war ga mode, which is extrely high-risk. They will also be automatically enrolled in the Exotic Star Sabotage Mission and will be able to earn points. During this ga session, new Players who die will have no resurrection chanism, but they will retain their eligibility and can re-enter the ga on the next ga day after the real-world war mission concludes.]
[Note: Visible only to the Chief Operations Administrator. Due to the unique nature of your power, which also exceeds the True Ga’s current operational standards, a clone body cannot be produced. Therefore, you will not have a resurrection chanism. As compensation, should this war be won, you will receive partial rule Authority over the ’Green Earth Satellite World’ as well as a generous reward given at the discretion of the True Ga. We hope the Operations Administrator will act with caution.]
[Please select your mission type.]
"It’s finally here?"
On the roof of the hotel building.
A clear light swirled in Lince’s eyes.
"Is there even a choice?"
Lince smiled.
Yes, he already knew the enemy’s world was a Demon World.
With Lince’s power, he didn’t even have to think about it!
[Chief Operations Administrator has selected the Exotic Star Sabotage Mission. Confird!]
[Given your True Ga administrative privileges, would you like to make a server-wide announcent about this choice?]
???
Lince was taken aback.
’I can make a server-wide announcent just by choosing a mission type?’
’What is the True Ga up to now?’
’Is it trying to encourage Players to participate in the sabotage mission behind enemy lines?’
’Using as a poster child?’
Thinking this, Lince pondered for a mont.
He imdiately gave his permission.
And so, the next mont, another server-wide announcent rang out.
[Server-Wide Announcent: The honored Chief Player has chosen the Exotic Star Sabotage Mission! What are you waiting for? Co on, join the Chief in sabotage operations behind enemy lines!]
[The sabotage mission behind enemy lines is first-co, first-served. Limited to 30,000 participating Players.]
[Server-Wide Announcent: ...]
What the hell.
Even with his now very calm and composed personality, Lince was still floored by the True Ga’s shaless antics.
’What the hell is this announcent?’
’It has the strong reek of a cheap ga ad—the kind that says "If you’re my brother, co and hack !" and "999 damage in one hit!"’
"What the hell?"
At that mont, all across Blue Star, from north to south, Players were stunned.
"The Chief chose the sabotage mission behind enemy lines! Fuck! Why did the announcent co more than two minutes late! I already fucking chose the defense mission!"
"Damn it, can we re-select?"
On the Player forums, many Players were wailing in despair.
"Re-select my ass!"
"And here I was, saying that the True Ga was being uncharacteristically generous for once."
"After all, with the resurrection chanism, the clone bodies, and all that... If not for that, I really wouldn’t have dared to go to the front lines. People die for real out there, you know."
"And what happens? I just happily chose the defense mission, and now they announce this?"
"Damn it, if I followed the Chief, wouldn’t my points have skyrocketed? I could just cry!"
"..."
The Player forums were a sea of sorrowful cries.
But none of this had much to do with Lince anymore.
As for the Players who hadn’t imdiately chosen a mission, they instantly felt like they’d struck gold.
Without a second thought, almost every one of them chose the sabotage mission behind enemy lines.
After all, it was first-co, first-served, with only thirty thousand slots.
For a deal this good, if you were fast you got it, and if you were slow you got nothing.
And so, in the first instant the announcent was released, in less than two seconds, all slots for the sabotage mission behind enemy lines were filled!
Those who got a spot were overjoyed.
Those who didn’t were miserable.
And just as the sabotage mission filled up, Lince imdiately received another mission notification.
[Personnel for the Exotic Star Sabotage Mission is now full. As the Operations Administrator, you have the authority to assign these Players to Descend in different zones.]
[There are currently a total of thirty Descent locations on Green Saturn. Do you wish to manually adjust Player Descent locations?]
[Player strength is sorted from highest to lowest. Please review and assign, Administrator. You have thirty minutes. If no assignnts are made, the True Ga will assign them randomly.]
’It can be played this way too?’
’Thirty different locations?’
Lince was once again blown away by the True Ga’s slick moves.
Most of the Players who snatched a spot wanted to follow Lince and leech points. And the result? Well, what do you know, they weren’t even going to Descend in the sa place.
Leech?
Only a portion of the Players would be able to.
As for who got to do the leeching...
Lince naturally turned to the Player list the system had displayed for him.
From highest to lowest.
[1. Player Nickna: Masked Monk (Tier Five), can directly ascend to Tier Six after entering the ga.]
[2. Player Nickna: Logical Genius (Tier Five), can directly ascend to Tier Six after entering the ga.]
[3. Player Nickna: Can’t See the Bright Moon (Tier Four), can directly ascend to Tier Five after entering the ga.]
[4. Player Nickna: Brother Cheng Takes Off (Tier Four), can directly ascend to Tier Six after the map transfer.]
[5. Player Nickna: Wada Xiwa (Tier Four), can directly ascend to Tier Five after entering the ga.]
[...]
Lince stared at the list, genuinely taken aback.
Although he knew he would definitely see quite a few familiar nas,
there were indeed quite a lot of them.
Aside from the first-place Player, Lince spotted at least eight familiar IDs among the top fifty Players.
As for the others he knew, he guessed they had chosen their mission too quickly and couldn’t change it.
But even so, the ’Chosen Group’ truly lived up to its na. They were way ahead of most Players!
As for the first-place Player, Lince had never heard of him.
But this was normal. It was impossible for all the spots for lucky and powerful Players to be monopolized by a single group.
And among the top fifty, there were quite a few Players with Tier Five strength.
As for the "can directly ascend" note, it was just the reward these players had managed to get on settlent day after the conquest of the Karte Continent.
Once they entered the ga, these Players could, in theory, imdiately advance.
And this real-world war instance gave these Players the option to use that direct ascension.
Among the top fifty Players, at least half had a reward that allowed them to directly ascend by one Tier.
It had to be said, after taking down the Karte World, these Players had really reaped a lot of benefits!
You could say they won just by lying down.
Ghost Fire Minister, because Lince had arranged for him to be in a Demon Beast army last ti, protected by a Saint Tier Sub-dragon to farm experience, had surprisingly good rewards this ti. He could directly ascend two Tiers, which put him on par with the progress of the top two Players.
So, from this, one could also see that Lince’s own influence was growing ever larger.
As such, Lince naturally had his own ideas.
He would move all the familiar nas to his own Descent location.
As for that Masked Monk, Lince couldn’t be bothered with him and had no interest in getting to know him.
At Lince’s current level, it was all too easy for him to promote soone if he wanted to.
Therefore, those occasional lucky ones, or even the smart and capable guys, could just slowly complete their promotions on their own.
It was benevolent enough of him not to make things difficult for them.
After Lince finished his simple arrangent of the Players who would follow him, he didn’t neglect the situation in the real world either.
So, in the seven days prior to this, Lince had already acquired three suitable ’little pets’.
A lizard, a bear, and a bird.
These three little guys were more than enough.
The lizard was prepared for the Saint Tier Contracted Giant Dragon, Sisrton.
The bear, naturally, was prepared for the Earth Bear, Phemos.
As for the bird, there was nothing much to say—it was for the Shadow Wind Dragon Eagle.
It was worth ntioning that after Lince beca the True Ga’s Operations Administrator, the Magic Pet Cards had also changed.
Now, the three of them could reverse-Descend their consciousnesses to Blue Star. At the sa ti, using a possession ability, they could maintain 35% of their respective strengths and begin their own journeys in the real world.
And these three were the backup plan Lince left in the real world, in case the Insect People broke through the Human Alliance Defense Line.
"Everything is ready."
"Now, we just wait for the final mont to arrive!"
