The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

Build a pharmaceutical factory.

"run!"

Mo Fang roared.

But it was too late.

Black raindrops pelted against my body and the ground.

Next are the shoulders, arms, and thighs.

Everywhere.

Before Wang Banxian could even see what had landed on his shoulder, he instinctively swung his pickaxe and smashed it hard at the dark figure crawling at his feet.

when!

Sparks flew everywhere.

The pickaxe felt like it had hit a steel plate; the immense recoil made his hands go numb, and he almost lost his grip on the handle.

The black beetle, which was only the size of a bottle cap, was not even crushed to death; its shell didn't even crack.

It merely shook its antennae, seemingly enraged by the attack, and then spread its wings and pounced directly on Wang Banxian.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this thing?!"

Wang Banxian cursed.

The next second, excruciating pain struck.

The insect opened its tiny mouthparts and bit down hard on his calf.

scoff.

The sound of the fabric tearing was clearly audible.

What followed was the excruciating pain of a large chunk of flesh being torn off.

"ah--!"

Wang Banxian couldn't hold back and screamed.

The pain system in this game is absolutely addictive.

All around were screams.

Su Xiaotu screamed and stomped her feet frantically, trying to shake off the bugs crawling all over her boots.

But it didn't work.

The insects' legs were barbed, gripping the clothes and skin tightly.

More and more black dots fell from above.

It's like stirring up a hornet's nest.

No.

It's a million times more terrifying than a hornet's nest.

The entire mine entrance instantly turned into a black ocean.

"Holy crap! Don't bite there!"

Old P's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he collapsed to the ground, convulsing and rolling around wildly.

My vision was completely submerged by the black tide.

The excruciating pain spread throughout my body, eventually coalescing into a numb, icy sensation.

You are dead.

......

The real world.

The screens of all ten live streams went black almost simultaneously.

After a few seconds of deathly silence.

The live chat exploded.

【? ? ? 】

[Holy crap? They're all wiped out?]

[What was that thing just now? The miners were practically sparking from it, and it's still alive?!]

I heard a scream, and then the screen went black. Is this game really that hardcore?

[He died on the spot due to trypophobia.]

[Hahaha, that's hilarious! Just now, Master Wang was shouting that he was going to dig through the planet, but instead, he got dug through by some bugs.]

In the live streamer's WeChat group.

The message notification sounds filled the air.

Wang Banxian sent a 50-second voice message.

Click to listen, and you'll find nothing but roaring with an extremely high level of motherly affection.

"Hey P! Holy crap! This is what you call C-level difficulty?!"

"I just respawned! I've only done one beginner quest!"

Wang Banxian sat in front of the computer, clutching his hair, his whole body trembling.

It wasn't from being scared.

It's anger.

It breaks my heart even more.

I died this time, and I'll have to wait until 6 AM tomorrow to be resurrected...

Mo Fang sent out a message: "I'm dead too."

The group chat was filled with groans of despair.

Su Xiaotu: "Waaaaah, it hurts so much, it really hurts so much! I feel like my leg has been bitten off! Why does this game have to be so realistic?"

Zi Ran: "Those insects have at least five times the defense of zombies; ordinary iron weapons simply cannot penetrate their defenses."

We're all seasoned gamers.

After calming down and reviewing the situation, I immediately realized something was wrong.

Night Whisper: "With monsters of this strength and in such large numbers, let alone ten of us, even a hundred would probably be overwhelmed."

"This is a doomed situation."

Old P also chimed in at this point.

"Ahem, well... I didn't expect that either."

"The intelligence report does indeed state it's Rank C..."

Mo Fang: "Are you sure you didn't misread it? Or is there some detail in the intelligence report that we overlooked?"

Old P posted a screenshot.

[Intelligence: Death Mine Map]

[Difficulty: CAC]

[Description: Head to the abandoned mine to the west. Note: Signs of unknown biological activity exist in this area.]

It is indeed a C grade.

Su Xiaotu weakly asked, "Is it possible... that we're just too weak?"

"Even a C-level difficulty level is an insurmountable mountain for us right now."

That's even more hurtful.

Wang Banxian slumped in his chair, staring at his phone screen, on the verge of tears.

Two days.

Two whole days.

He completed a beginner's task of killing zombies.

After waiting all day and finally getting resurrected, I lost my life after just two swings of the pickaxe.

it's good now.

I'll have to wait until 6 a.m. tomorrow to be revived.

Unless there are 100 source crystals.

But this lousy game doesn't even have a way to recharge!

Although the screen went black, the live stream's popularity actually increased instead of decreasing.

The audience just witnessed the terrifying swarm of insects; the extreme visual impact was more thrilling than any horror movie.

[Is this streamer any good? He died as soon as he logged on! I waited all day!]

To be honest, this game is really something. The moment that bug swarmed my face, I almost threw my phone.

Why wasn't I the one who got the beta test qualification? I feel like I could play better than these people even if I played with my feet.

[I'm serious, I'm not kidding.]

Does anyone know where the official website for Wasteland Era is? Why can't I find any useful information by searching for keywords?

[Same request! Even just telling me when the next batch of test qualifications will be distributed would be helpful!]

I'm not a fan of this type of game, but seeing how much money you guys are making, I'm genuinely envious.

Seeing the screen filled with comments asking for qualifications, Wang Banxian's frustration subsided a little.

Although he died a terrible death.

Although we are now dirt poor.

Although it will take another 24 hours to revive.

But he had to admit it.

The fear and despair of that moment, the adrenaline rush of pleasure.

It's something no other game can offer.

even......

He developed an even stronger desire to conquer that deadly mine.

just wait.

Wait until I get some good equipment.

We absolutely must destroy that insect nest!

......

Inside the grocery store.

The red liquid in the last test tube stopped shaking.

The system notification sounded precisely on time.

[Basic Life Potion Proficiency Maxed Out.]

Lin Mo put the test tube back on the shelf and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Finally full." Lin Mo was speechless.

The barrier to entry for producing gene-based drugs is ridiculously high.

A dedicated laboratory is required.

The prerequisite for a laboratory is a pharmaceutical factory.

The unlock condition for the potion factory is to max out the proficiency in this damn basic life potion.

This setting is simply inhuman.

Fortunately, the effort finally paid off.

Lin Mo opened the backend data.

The general store has been upgraded to level 2.

The number of employees has also increased to 1000. It has to be said that the spending power of 1000 people is indeed astonishing.

You need Source Crystals to buy equipment and to resupply.

These source crystals ultimately ended up in his pocket, becoming part of his revenue.

The amount in the account is enough to splurge once.

Lin Mo called out in his mind, "System, help me build a medicine factory."

[Building a pharmaceutical factory requires 10000 in revenue. Continue?]

"continue."
