Building a sect from scratch.

"Boss! Commander! You've been acting really strange lately!"

Seeing Nietzsche drawing water from the spirit spring, Ren Xinhua, who had specially assembled a team to come over, finally couldn't help but ask with concern, "If there's really anything wrong, just tell us! Don't bear it all alone! Our community is so rich now, what can't we solve!"

"I……"

Nietzsche looked at Ren Huadao, who had a concerned expression, and hesitated to speak.

Although Aunt Wang had said she could get a few spots—as long as the review went smoothly, she could be included in the project team—she had only just joined the team, and the team leader was Wang Ergou from Chang'an Sheyi. She felt awkward about immediately recruiting people, otherwise it would seem like she was going to compete with Wang Ergou, which wouldn't be appropriate.

But faced with such caring relatives and friends, Nietzsche couldn't bear to lie to them.

Seeing that Nietzsche seemed genuinely troubled and unable to speak, Renxin Huadao grew even more anxious: "What's wrong with you? You're driving me crazy! What can't you say?"

Nietzsche sighed helplessly.

Considering that both Aunt Wang's side and Wang Ergou's private statements are open to limited hints, as long as the specific truth is not actually revealed, it does not constitute a leak...

After all, even if you beat everyone to death, without official endorsement, no one would believe that the Guixu Realm in "Ten Continents Chronicles" is a real world! This is even more outrageous than the rumors circulating online that China is abusing aliens on the far side of the moon!

She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and said in the team channel, "I really can't tell you guys about this, and I can't tell you. I... I've been recruited!"

"What the hell!?"

Renxin Huadao stared wide-eyed, his face full of confusion, not quite understanding what Nietzsche meant.

"Well, um... they've been... recruited by the higher-ups..." Nietzsche explained vaguely, "They're now eating the government's rice, you get it?"

"Holy crap!" Renxin Huadao nearly jumped up in shock: "Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!?"

He circled Nietzsche several times, pinched his cheek hard, and then suddenly asked with a stiff expression, "You mean, this game..."

He stopped mid-sentence, suddenly realizing something, and quickly shut his mouth. He then turned on his microphone in the team chat and continued, "This game is really... just something made by our mother, China!?"

Nietzsche coughed lightly, his gaze shifting: "Ahem, I can't say. Don't ask me any further. Just know this..."

Renxin Huadao was somewhat dissatisfied and said disdainfully, "What kind of nonsense are you playing here?"

Nietzsche was exasperated: "Oh dear, you signed a confidentiality agreement! Just tell them everything's fine!"

"Holy crap!" Renxin Huadao was stunned again: "I thought even you wanted it, and this thing was about to be made public! Turns out it's still strictly confidential!?"

"Alright, alright, let's go back now. I'll go with you! Why are you asking so many questions!"

As Nietzsche spoke, he was the first to walk out of the bamboo grove.

Surrounded by streams and several spiritual springs, this bamboo forest is a popular spot for players to collect spiritual spring water. However, perhaps due to the recent opening of a large area of ​​sea and countless reefs and islands belonging to the Quanxian Clan, there are far fewer players in the Central Continent. Players with sufficient cultivation and mana have all teleported to the Quanxian Royal City and the vicinity of Kunlun Hill to explore the sea map. Even places like this, where there used to be long queues to collect spiritual spring water, are now deserted.

Renxin Huadao quickly caught up, muttering to himself, "Well! Actually, I still have quite a lot of spiritual spring water stored in my warehouse. If you need any, just tell me! I'll give you a few buckets!"

"It's alright, there aren't many people around here lately anyway..."

As Nietzsche spoke casually, he suddenly caught a glimpse of brown out of the corner of his eye.

She turned her head and saw a brown-furred animal squatting in a pool of low-level spiritual spring water, soaking in it. "Holy crap!? There's a Kapibal in this game!?"

Humanity, having transformed into Tao, also saw the animal and exclaimed in shock.

Nietzsche was even more shocked. She was not shocked by the Capibala, but by the fact that there was such a creature that originally lived in South America in the Realm of Return to Nothingness!

Renxin Huadao was already starting to have all sorts of thoughts: "Do you think it might be a monster? A Kapibala? Can we take it back to our village and keep it as a pet? It's kind of cute!"

"Can't identify it... Wait, it seems... this seems to be a player!?"

Nietzsche stared blankly at the description of "Disciple of the Taiyin Sect" in the appraisal introduction, utterly speechless.

Luckily, I was using the team's microphone when I was talking to Renxin Huadao, otherwise I would have been completely exposed!

The "Capybara," or capybara, slowly turned around after hearing their conversation, yawned, squinted, and then, with its Capybara appearance, spoke in a rough, powerful male voice: "Hey buddy? I'm just taking a bath here, why are you two guarding me?"

Renxin Huadao quickly apologized: "Brother, we're so sorry! We really didn't know you were a player!"

Nietzsche then added a compliment: "Your transformation technique is amazing! Without the ID showing, you really can't tell you're a player!"

The capybara seemed a little smug from the praise. He hummed twice and said, "That's right, I studied for half a month..."

Then he urged, "Weren't you two leaving? Hurry up and leave. What's the point of you two watching me take a bath, a grown man like me!"

With his mind preoccupied with Nietzsche's incorporation, Renxin Huadao lost interest upon discovering that "Kapibala" was actually a player. He casually pulled out a sealed cup of milk tea, placed it on a rock by the spring, smiled amicably at the capybara, and said, "To be honest, this is some milk tea I stocked up on. Please accept this as an apology! We're off!"

Nietzsche also apologized: "I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention!"

After speaking, the two of them rode the wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the two leave, the capybara brother made no attempt to take the milk tea. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes and comfortably let out a fart.

Then, he slowly moved to the edge of the spring, grabbed the milk tea with both paws, stuck the straw in, and began to suck on it with a satisfied expression.

Just then, a player with the ID "Don't Say I'm Bad" emerged from the bushes in the distance, looking disheveled.

【Don't Call Me a Noob】 is a casual gamer whose biggest hobby is farming—the real kind of farming. So he often goes out into the wild to find strange and unusual seeds. Today, he happened to explore the vicinity of the Spirit Spring.

He looked towards the spirit spring and observed the surroundings. Just as he was about to continue searching for seeds or seedlings of rare spiritual herbs and plants, he suddenly spotted a strange brown shadow.

It looks like a Kapibal drinking milk tea!

"Hey! Look who's up! I saw Kapibal sipping milk tea!?"

[Don't call me bad!] He exclaimed in shock, then slipped and fell back into the bushes with a thud.

After he finally managed to get up, he looked in the same direction again, only to find nothing there.

"Hiss... That's incredibly bad! Did I just get hurt like a ghost?!"
