The Ye Family in the capital!
Rose Fierce was filled with rage.
With a *thump*, she threw the game helmet onto the ground.
She never expected that even after changing her account, the opponent could still pursue her. It was as if they were giving her no way to survive.
"You're amazing. It's just a game, isn't it? I'm not playing anymore!"
"Dou family, is it? If I don't finish you off today, I'll take your surname!"
In the game, Zhang Pingfan was lounging with his legs crossed, talking on the phone with Dou Youyou outside the game.
"Miss Ye has already logged off. I am an NPC in the game. Even if she logs in with a hundred different accounts, I'll know which one is hers. She's probably jumping with anger and cursing right now!"
"Heh heh, Master, you're too wicked. Aren't you afraid she'll retaliate? I'm worried she'll shift her hatred towards our family, as this was originally a feud between her and me!"
Zhang Pingfan stroked his chin.
"Well, I've certainly considered that, but you'll soon dismiss that concern. After all, some things cannot be changed by their Ye family, but rather by me!"
"Yes, Master, I believe you. I haven't seen Master for several days, and I miss you. Also, my quest hasn't been completed yet. I'm just one level away from reaching level 30. I see that the highest level in the game is currently 29!"
Zhang Pingfan frowned. This was also something he was worried about. After all, his quest was still pending, and he had to resolve the trouble with the Ye family as soon as possible.
"Yes, I know. I won't talk to you anymore. It's time for me to act!"
Zhang Pingfan ended the call with Dou Youyou.
"System, Sister, what exactly is this game 'Myth'? I don't believe it's just a game, especially since our relationship is so unusual!"
【Ding! Not normal is precisely right. The game 'Myth' is a completely new game based on the server reset, suitable for you humans of Blue Star. But it is more than just a game!】
"What do you mean?"
【Ding! The server for the game 'Myth' does not originate from this planet. You should have known this from the beginning. However, this game's server has a special characteristic: the higher your level and the better your equipment in the game, the more your abilities will be enhanced in reality. In your terms, it's a spiritual energy revival, but that's not entirely accurate!】
Zhang Pingfan's expression changed drastically. Spiritual energy revival was something often mentioned in novels.
If Blue Star were to experience a spiritual energy revival, then uncontrollable phenomena would arise.
"Specifically what?"
【Ding! You yourself should have the absolute right to speak. Has your body become stronger than before recently?】
Zhang Pingfan nodded. He had indeed noticed this problem.
"That's right. Is this related to the game?"
【Ding! Of course, it's related. However, you are different from other players. You are a chosen player, and your manifestation will be more pronounced. Others are different, but through data testing, changes can indeed be detected. You will understand when the time comes!】
Zhang Pingfan scratched his head. He didn't quite understand why this was happening, but he knew the system wouldn't lie to him.
This meant that while he was playing the game, he was actually enhancing his own abilities.
What would happen if other players found out about this?
"Do you think the leadership knows about this?"
【Ding! Of course, they do. This is also why your country is vigorously promoting this game!】
"Understood!"
"I need to issue a system announcement!"
【Ding! One gold coin!】
【Ding! System Prompt: Hello everyone, I am the village chief of Pingfan Town. Here, I wish to announce an important matter. Before that, I want to ask you a question: Have you noticed any changes in your physical condition since playing the game 'Myth'? Why did these changes occur? Think about it for yourselves. The matter I wish to announce is that whoever makes the Ye family in the capital apologize to my disciple Dou Youyou will be accepted as an outer disciple by me, the village chief of Pingfan Town!】
This statement caused a stir throughout the entire server.
What was going on? What was the village chief saying? What was he hinting at?
"The village chief is reminding us that this game is different from other games!"
"It's indeed different. Where else can you find such intelligent NPCs who even know about real-world matters? This clearly goes against common sense!"
"Now that the village chief has said this, I do recall something. I had a cold for a long time a while ago, but since I started playing the game, the cold miraculously got better!"
"The village chief's words are somewhat ambiguous, but since playing this game, I haven't felt exhausted like I usually do after playing other games. All I need is a good night's sleep, and I'm full of energy the next day!"
"This game is improving our physical fitness? It's terrifyingly powerful!"
"It's frightening that a game could be subtly altering our physical functions without us even realizing it."
"Wait, if that's the case, then the stronger we are, the more obvious the benefits will be. I request those with high combat power to explain!"
"Today, the game 'Myth' will likely once again top the trending search charts. We await the official announcement!"
"My scalp is tingling a bit now. Are we playing a game, or another real world?"
After Zhang Pingfan posted this message, it caused a huge uproar, but none of it concerned Zhang Pingfan. He was waiting for someone to contact him.
Just the Ye family in the capital was nothing compared to the numerous families even larger than theirs.
It was precisely because of Zhang Pingfan's statement that various influential families immediately focused their attention on it.
They also wanted to get a specific response. If this were true, they would spare no expense in trying to win over the village chief of Pingfan Town, because the stronger they became, the greater abilities they would gain.
Without any surprises, just two hours later, the official statement was released, the most shocking announcement in history.
Dear Players of 'Myth':
Hello. You have probably seen the statement made by the NPC village chief of Pingfan Town. Yes, the village chief is correct. The world of 'Myth' is changing our human physical functions and awakening our human potential. If one day you find yourself able to use magic skills, don't be nervous; it is the honor bestowed upon you by the world of 'Myth'.
A new era is beckoning us, and all we need to do is embrace it. Come, show your stronger self, and strive forward.
