Apocalyptic Invasion: I Activated the Apocalyptic Points System

Qin Xu was filled with questions, but the system did not respond in any way.

[Would you like to begin your path of salvation?]

"Do I still have a choice?" He took a deep breath, composed himself, and his eyes gradually hardened. "Let's begin!"

[Ding! New version confirmed]

[[Apocalypse Invasion Online] Version Loading...]

Please select a world mode.

【Mode 1: Realism, an extraordinary path to advancement】

[Mode 2: Gamification, Career Advancement Path]

【Mode 3: Data-driven, Level Advancement Path】

"How come this is like playing a game, with three different modes to choose from?" Qin Xu asked, puzzled, as he examined the three different modes.

The first model is the realization of the world, the awakening of some extraordinary power, the continuous self-evolution, and the eventual transformation into a superdimensional life form.

The second model is a world gamification, where you acquire a combat class, continuously kill monsters to level up, change classes, gain extraordinary power, and eventually become a god.

In this mode, just like playing a game, everything in the world has a health bar. As long as the health bar is empty, you can kill the monster and get points and loot.

It allows you to clearly know how much health a monster has left during battle, but the health is only displayed as a percentage, not a specific numerical value.

The third mode is to digitize the entire world, which has multi-dimensional attributes. Players start from level zero, kill monsters to level up, and gain attribute points, skill points, weapons and equipment, etc.

This mode is purely based on level, skills, attributes, weapons, equipment, and so on.

"Which of the three modes—Transcendent Advancement, Career Advancement, and Level Advancement—should I choose?" Qin Xu pondered, looking at the three options on the screen.

The extraordinary advancement ultimately leads to becoming a superdimensional life form, the professional advancement ultimately leads to becoming a god, and the third one seems to be purely like playing a game, fighting monsters and leveling up.

After a moment's thought, Qin Xu eliminated the third option. Data-driven approaches have both obvious advantages and disadvantages, and they offer no advantage in the early stages.

Which should you choose: extraordinary evolution or career advancement? One ultimately leads to a superdimensional life form, the other to a god.

Which is more powerful, a superdimensional life form or a god?

"The apocalypse keeps devouring the world, it seems, just in order to evolve into a superdimensional life form, right?" Qin Xu suddenly thought of something.

Without further hesitation, I chose the first option.

[You selected Mode 1, loading...]

A dazzling beam of light emanated from Qin Xu and spread outwards in all directions.

Loading successful!

[The time-space freeze will be lifted in ten seconds, and normal time-space flow will resume.]

【10】

【9】

"Is that all?" Qin Xu hurriedly checked the changes in the system.

After checking, he found that there was no difference from before the version update; the newbie quests, doomsday points, and items in the system space were also unchanged.

Before the ten-second countdown ended, he quickly switched to the career system interface.

Once opened, there are three sub-interfaces, labeled "Transcendent Advancement," "Profession Advancement," and "Level Advancement," which are exactly the same as the three modes provided by the system earlier!

Currently, it displays "[Transcendent Advancement]", with only a large question mark icon on the interface.

Does this mean that even without a version update, three options will still be triggered when the job system is opened?

and so……

Is this version update just a lonely update?

So you're kidding me?

Or……

Is it just a cutscene showing the exit from the starting area?

Qin Xu frowned and tried to switch to the [Career Advancement] interface. He switched smoothly and saw a large question mark icon.

"Could it be..." He switched back to the [Level Advancement] interface, which still only displayed a large question mark icon.

You can switch between the three interfaces at will!

Is it a bug?

Just as he was filled with doubt, the ten-second countdown ended, the time freeze was canceled, and everything around him began to spin rapidly again.

The speed is getting faster and faster!

Qin Xu felt dizzy and the world was spinning around him, with dazzling lights swirling around him.

The next instant, all vision was plunged into darkness.

When he regained his sight, he found himself lying on a sandy field.

In the night sky, countless twinkling stars, a massive crack running across the sky, two months...

Why are there dozens of moons? And they're all multicolored! Looking at those dozens of moons in the night sky, ranging from crescent to full moon.

Qin Xu's brain completely shut down!

He thought he was seeing things, so he subconsciously raised his hand to rub his eyes. Now he could see more clearly: dozens of colorful moons filled the sky.

Are the moons having a meeting?

Is this correct?

"Qin Xu, am I seeing things? Why are there dozens of moons in the sky?" Zhang Yanan's voice was full of doubt. "Am I already dead?"

"He shouldn't be dead!" Qin Xu suddenly sat up and looked around, his face filled with shock as he discovered that he was in an absurd world.

Wonders!

An astonishing spectacle!

Dozens of post-apocalyptic worlds have intertwined and merged together!

We are intertwined, inseparable, and closely intertwined.

A hundred meters away is an iceberg tens of meters high, with seven or eight coconut trees growing on it. Further to the right, ruins and lush green grass are intertwined.

"How...how could this happen?"

Seeing the astonishing spectacle formed by the fusion of dozens of post-apocalyptic worlds, Zhang Yanan's pupils dilated in shock, and she subconsciously raised her hand to rub her eyes.

"Obviously, we're no longer in our original world," Qin Xu shrugged. "We should be in a real post-apocalyptic world now."

"Ah?!" Zhang Yanan sat up in a panic. "What do we do next?" She glanced at Lin Xiaoqing, who was already unconscious.

"Since we're not dead, we should do everything we can to survive."

Qin Xu patted the sand off his hands, looked up at the sky, and asked, "Do you see those colorful moons in the sky?"

"I saw it." Zhang Yanan's voice was dry. She didn't count how many moons there were, but instinctively felt a kind of dizziness, as if the moons were spinning and trying to suck her consciousness in.

She abruptly lowered her head and pinched her arm hard to dispel the eerie feeling of weightlessness. "Why are there so many moons? This doesn't make any sense!"

"Science?" Qin Xu turned to look at her, pointing to the distorted world around them. "Then tell me, is it scientifically possible to piece these scenes together?"

"That's not scientific!" Zhang Yanan said, glancing in the direction Qin Xu was pointing, and asked, "Why do you say this is the real apocalypse?" As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that her question was a bit stupid.

"Dozens of moons hanging in the sky and a huge crack, what else could it be but the end of the world?" Qin Xu rolled his eyes at her, somewhat speechless.

He started checking the career system.

With a slight thought, he directly opened the question mark on the [Extraordinary Evolution] interface.

[Ding! You have received the guidance quest for the [Transcendent Evolution] path]

[Guidance Task 1: What is the first step to becoming extraordinary?]

[Mission Requirements: Defeat any ten low-level monsters and obtain loot at least once]

[Task Difficulty: Easy]

[Mission Reward: Extraordinary Gene Activation Potion (Perfect Type)]

"Wow! The guidance mission directly rewards a transcendent gene activation potion?" Qin Xu's eyes widened instantly, and he muttered to himself.

It seemed like he had thought of something.

He directly opened the [Career Advancement] interface and tried clicking the question mark in front of it.

[Unable to claim temporarily. Please complete other instructional tasks before claiming.]

"Could it be that I can switch between three advancement paths at will? Wouldn't that mean..." Thinking of this, Qin Xu revealed a happy smile.

"We have no food or water now, what are we going to do?" Zhang Yanan's words brought Qin Xu, who was secretly pleased, back to his senses.
