"arrive!"

After the teleportation ended, Lin Hui immediately looked out the car window.

Unlike the Misty Land, which is shrouded in mist, this place is well-lit and offers a wide view.

The earth is a rough, dark rock formation that stretches to the horizon.

When Lin Hui raised his head, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

The sky wasn't azure, but a pale blue-gray with a futuristic feel. Even more stunning was the massive, bright, and dazzling meteorite band, like pieces of broken diamonds, stretching across the heavens.

"So beautiful!"

Jiang Qingyan and Su Qingqian moved closer to the window and simultaneously exclaimed in admiration.

This kind of scene could never be seen on the original Blue Planet.

However, appreciation is one thing.

Lin Hui frowned slightly.

"Something's not right," he muttered to himself. "This terrain... is different from what Zhao Tianba described."

According to the information Zhao Tianba gave him, the third map is a dark and boundless sea, a "sea instance".

But now, beneath my feet lies a hard, black rock, and there's not even a puddle to be seen, let alone the sea.

Just as Lin Hui's thoughts were racing, the system's cold notification sounded right on time.

[Ding! Welcome to the third map – Torres Planet.]

The current player base consists of players from thirty dungeons.

Current total number of surviving players: approximately 400 million.

Total number of vehicles currently in operation: 80.

[Ding! Main quest officially launched!]

Main Quest 1: Travel to the nearest city and learn about the current situation on Torres.

Current exploration progress: 0%

[Mission Reward: Holographic Electronic Map of Torres Star] (Cannot be copied or shared)

"400 million people, 80 vehicles..." Lin Hui's lips curled into a smile.

After enduring the brutal elimination process across two maps, those who have survived to this day are definitely not ordinary individuals.

Jiang Qingyan pouted and said, "Why does this mission assignment method sound so similar to the games I used to play?"

Liu Xi walked over and chuckled, "Aren't we just playing a game? Except this game is real, and we only have one life."

"That's true..." Jiang Qingyan nodded, then turned to Lin Hui, "Boss, which way should we drive now?"

In this completely unfamiliar environment, without electronic radar maps, we couldn't even distinguish between east, west, south, and north; it was all utterly dark.

"etc."

With a thought, Lin Hui opened the system panel.

Just as Zhao Tianba said, the [Regional Chat Channel] disappeared. But the [Friends List] is still there, and a conspicuous gold button has appeared in the upper right corner – Create Group.

Without any hesitation, Lin Hui pressed the button.

[Ding! Creating a group chat requires 1 units of Universal Fuel. Confirm?]

"Yes!" Lin Hui didn't even frown.

[Ding! Group chat successfully created! Current group member limit: 20 people!]

Immediately afterwards, a line of small print appeared:

[Note: Each additional player requires an extra 1 units of Universal Fuel. Limited-time offer: 88% off; additional 9% off for groups of ten or more.]

Upon seeing this line of text, Lin Hui's lips twitched slightly.

What's with this overwhelming penguin smell? Even the gods know about this kind of pay-to-win scheme?

Lin Hui immediately clicked the "X".

The quota of 20 people is sufficient for now.

He swiped his finger quickly across the list, pulling people in one by one:

Liu Xi, Zhuge Mo, Zhen Haoyun, Huo Lie, Zhao Tianba, Li Xian, Kang Chuanqi, Li Hanyue, Li Feifei, Xia Yun'er, Zhao Xin, Chen Ye, Chen Guoguo, Wu Feng.

Including himself, there were 15 people in total.

Leave the remaining 5 seats empty for now.

"Ding-dong!"

I just clicked confirm to add these people to a group chat called [Huihuang Chamber of Commerce].

The first one to jump out was, unsurprisingly, Zhao Tianba, who was trembling with fear due to an intelligence error.

[Zhao Tianba]: "Brother Lin! I swear I'm not lying to you! I don't know what's going on either! I clearly remember it being an ocean-themed instance, but I just landed in a red sand pit!"

[Zhao Tianba]: "Starting from the second map, the plot completely went wrong. I strongly suspect the system is targeting us, pulling us into a much more difficult dungeon!"

Looking at the message, Lin Hui nodded to himself; Zhao Tianba had no reason to lie.

Moreover, without intelligence, it would only take a little more effort. With his strength, wouldn't he be able to sweep everything away?

[Lin Hui]: "Understood. Check your information and tell me your tasks."

[Ho Lie]: "Go to the nearest city and learn about the current situation on Torres Star."

[Li Hanyue]: "Same!"

Zhao Xin: "Me too."

A series of "same" messages flashed by.

[Zhuge Mo]: "It seems the main quests are all the same. Let's all tell each other our locations. I'm in a plain, and there's a meteorite belt in the sky."

[Li Hanyue]: "I didn't see the asteroid belt, but there was a huge ring of land above my head, and I could also see a floating sky city!"

[Huo Lie]: "Huh? An upside-down continent? A sky city? I don't see that. This is a wasteland covered in black spikes, and the sky is purple, but I can still see that asteroid belt!"

"..."

Looking at the various descriptions in the group, Lin Hui narrowed his eyes.

[Lin Hui]: "The topography and sky of this planet defy conventional physical common sense."

[Zhuge Mo]: "Brother Lin is right. Based on everyone's information, I suspect that the planet we're on isn't a sphere at all, but a ring planet!"

[Zhao Tianba]: "A toroidal planet?"

[Zhuge Mo]: "You can simply think of it as a giant 'donut'."

Generally speaking, under the influence of stellar gravity, celestial bodies will collapse due to their own gravity and form spheres.

However, under extremely demanding and specific conditions of angular momentum and gravitational balance, toroidal objects are permissible in the universe.
