Chapter 44: A Courier Arrives!

The posts continued to receive enthusiastic responses, with everyone captivated by the intricate details in the photos, acknowledging the game's appeal, and eagerly searching for ways to download it.

However, the trial testers had another bombshell to drop!

Game Zhang: These trivial matters are inconsequential compared to the most significant revelationI've discovered that time flows differently within the game compared to real life!

The mere hours I spent playing the game was under a minute in reality a staggering acceleration of approximately a hundredfold!

The crowd sneered, dismissing his claims as nonsense.

Big Brother Salted Fish: Now, Mom won't need to worry about my studies anymoreI can complete my homework within the game!

Curiosity piqued among those who wished to download the game, only to find out that all 100 slots had been filled. Others were unable to download it altogether.

Lin Qing, unable to contain his excitement, swiftly left a comment on the post.

Kobayashi: I'm one of the first testers too. The host should search for me in the game later to see if we can become friends. I'll enter the game first!

Eagerly clicking on the game icon, Lin Qing's heart raced, sensing that something monumental awaited him this time.

Could it be truly a creation of divine origin, with time flowing differently? Wouldn't that mean I'd gain a head start?

In his free time, Lin Qing often indulged in novels on the popular online platform, where protagonists stumbled upon unexpected adventures, kickstarting legendary lives.

Upon stepping into the game, Lin Qing found himself engulfed in an abyss of darkness, his senses shrouded in obscurity. But in the blink of an eye, a breathtaking expanse unfurled before him, as if a magnificent world had manifested itself out of thin air.

"Huh!"

His nostrils quivered as he drew in a profound breath, savoring the revitalizing atmosphere that infused his very essence. Each inhalation bestowed upon him a profound buoyancy, as if his entire being was imbued with an intoxicating vitality.

Suddenly, Lin Qing's gaze shifted, a tingling sensation signaling a metamorphosis into a multidimensional tableau, where sights, sounds, and sensations merged into a mesmerizing symphony of perception.

Collapse!

His legs gave way beneath him, causing Lin Qing to collapse abruptly. "Why am I suddenly learning to walk all over again?" he pondered in bewilderment.

Perplexed, Lin Qing stood still, his mind filled with a mix of confusion and curiosity. Eager to unravel the mystery of his transformed appearance, he swiftly captured a screenshot to examine his new visage. The image unveiled a bizarre amalgamationa creature with a single leg, donning the imposing head of a bull atop a body reminiscent of a leopard-like monster.

"Damn, I'm terrified! Am I truly this hideous?"

No wonder I couldn't maintain balanceI have only one leg left. No more mocking others for their appearance; I'm hideous myself!

Attempting to access the game interface, Lin Qing discovered that it displayed: "Unknown prehistoric species, no additional data available."

"Where's my health bar? The mana gauge? The leveling system? The novice guide?"

Lin Qing was dumbfounded. He realized the game was toying with him, thrusting him into an unfamiliar realm without any guidance.

Fueled by an insatiable curiosity, Lin Qing mustered the courage to experiment with his peculiar, one-legged creature form. To his astonishment, he effortlessly harnessed control over his transformed body, swiftly adapting to its unique capabilities.

As he leaped forward, propelled by an unexpected surge of agility, Lin Qing effortlessly covered distances of five or six meters at a time, his remarkable sense of balance guiding him with seamless precision.

One after another, they shared stunningly clear pictures, impeccably capturing the breathtaking details of the mythical worldfulfilling everyone's fantasies of an ethereal realm.

Cute dolphin who loves splurging: Initially, I downloaded the game out of sheer curiosity, and like the host, I was taken aback by what I encountered. Here's my character in the game.

As Lin Qing continued his exploration, he stumbled upon yet another image depicting an unsightly monster adorned with four distinct faces. The realization struck him that within this game, a world where unconventional aesthetics prevailed, it seemed that ugliness had become the norm rather than the exception.

Cute dolphin who loves splurging: Don't judge me solely by my appearanceI, too, randomly reincarnated as a wild alien species. And guess what? I just killed a three-headed rooster!

Lin Qing quickly looked and saw a picture depicting a three-headed, two-legged monster lying helplessly on the ground, while a majestic figure stood triumphantly, pressing one foot upon the defeated creature.

"Truly astonishing!"

Lin Qing marveled, realizing that even after a short playtime, he was already capable of slaying monsters.

Numerous replies poured in below. Puppet: Big bro, you're awesome! Let's start hunting monsters!

Lin Qing's eyes widened in astonishment as he witnessed a rare sighta fellow player who had managed to successfully triumph over a formidable monster. It was a feat that seemed elusive to many, as evidenced by the other beta-testers. The unfortunate player had been mercilessly trampled by a creature resembling a bull, or at least what passed for a bull within the perplexing confines of the game.

With admiration in their voice, the veteran late-night racer praised Lin Qing, hailing them as the best. Eager to know the rewards reaped from vanquishing the monstrous foes, they inquired about any level advancements.

Mengtun, grinning mischievously, responded, "This game is unbelievably realistic. There are no traditional health bars or mana gauges to gauge progression. But let me tell you, after obliterating that fearsome three-headed mutant rooster, leveling up seems trivial. Instead, I found myself famished, and couldn't resist taking a daring bite out of its rear end. To my surprise, the meat was astonishingly delectable, like nothing I've ever tasted before. It's as if the virtual world has seamlessly captured the essence of flavor. And you know what? After devouring that mouthwatering morsel, I felt a surge of warmth coursing through my body, as if my strength had been invigorated."

Veteran driver: Hungry? It seems this game incorporates a hunger mechanic. Players, beware of your characters starving to death. When you encounter flowers and plants, fill your stomachs!

Meowstar, the player who had suffered the unfortunate fate of being run over by a bull earlier, appeared on the scene with a sense of urgency. Their voice filled with a mixture of excitement and concern, they addressed their fellow first-testers, proclaiming the occurrence of a significant event.

"In a startling turn of events, I unintentionally provoked a monster, and to my dismay, I met my demise beneath its hooves. But here's the alarming partI couldn't respawn! The game icon itself turned black, barring me from accessing it any longer!"

Lin Qing stood there, taken aback by the revelation. The implications began to sink in. Could it be that in this game, character death equated to permanent demise? Was it truly impossible to log in and continue their virtual journey?

No wonder the game introduction emphasized the importance of cherishing one's in-game life!

The latest message at the bottom rapidly rose to prominence, catching Lin Qing's attention.

Beiming Youyu: Haha! Who would've thought? The cat's out of the bagI happened to be clicking the game and snatched his first-test qualification!

The prehistoric world, here I come! Sister Nuwa, I adore you! I'd lick you forever! (broken sound)!

The replies below showered him with criticism: Disgusting! You're only lusting after her body! You're despicable! (Flying slap emoji pack)

Jiutian Ouxian: People claim to love without ever having seen. Let's talk to God Nuwa firstshe might not even be born yet.

Game Xiaozhang: Fellow beta testers, cherish your lives. The prehistoric world is vast. Let's prioritize teamwork and cooperation. This game is beyond belief. If you stumble upon any vital information, share it promptly. Most importantly, let's find an NPC character with whom we can communicate!

Let me check the time now and see if I can become a sage, free to roam the prehistoric world from this point on!

Lin Qing wholeheartedly agreed with Xiao Zhang's suggestion. After all, everything in this world remained unknown, so it was better to err on the side of caution.

After grabbing a few hasty bites to eat, under Da Biao's urging, Lin Qing was about to dive back into the game and explore further when a knock sounded at the door.

The door swung open, revealing a delivery person.

"Open up! I've got a package!"
