Global Games: Reporting the Great Ascension Stage at the Start

After logging off, Shen Hua, just like yesterday, went to nearby villages and towns to look for the spirit box.

However, he deliberately chose to set off in the afternoon this time, so that the players in the sect could cover for him.

Sure enough, this time they didn't encounter the "yellow hamster" mental scan again on the road.

Shen Hua was unaware that "Yellow Hamster" had already left Blue Star. Even the Game Inspector of Blue Star had been replaced.

The next day, February 6th at midnight, Shen Hua, having absorbed the spiritual energy from the spirit box, logged on on time.

As soon as he logged into the game, he left his cave and headed straight for the western area where players congregated. He planned to find Local Necrosis to discuss the first clear of the dungeon.

As he walked along the road, players who saw him immediately surrounded him to express their gratitude.

"Thank you so much, Brother Xia Ye! I just followed your method and I really found the spirit box! It's exactly as you described!"

"I found it too! The spiritual energy inside the box is incredibly pure. With this energy, I completed a major cycle directly, and there's even some left over!"

"I shone my fire-elemental magic mirror on it, and the spirit instantly turned to ashes. Fire-elemental artifacts are indeed effective. Thanks to Brother Xia Ye for the information!"

Everyone was all smiles and expressed their sincere gratitude.

The spiritual energy in the spirit box is incredibly abundant. Finding just one spirit will immediately recoup the cost, and you can continue searching in the future. This is equivalent to Shen Hua giving away countless pills for free!

Shen Hua smiled and casually replied, "It was nothing, and besides, I already received payment."

The players immediately shook their heads: "You should have accepted this money more than you should. Three low-grade spirit stones are practically free!"

"Then everyone will have to make their own efforts to search," Shen Hua said, pointing ahead. "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

"Take care, Xia Ye!"

……

He received countless messages of gratitude along the way.

Every player who encountered Shen Hua thanked him profusely, their words of gratitude filling the entire route until Shen Hua's ears were practically calloused.

Of course, there were also players who looked gloomy and frustrated.

These players previously believed that Shen Hua's "spirit box" claim was a scam, a scheme to swindle money and run away.

The reality proved them wrong. Spirit boxes truly existed, and almost everyone could find one, with the spiritual energy absorption effects exactly as Shen Hua had described. Listening to the excited discussions around them, they wished they could disappear into the ground.

After walking for a full quarter of an hour, amidst a chorus of thanks, Shen Hua finally arrived at the partially necrotic cave.

The cave dwelling of the partially necrotic patient was very similar to Shen Hua's previous cave dwelling, both being elegant little buildings overlooking a large lake to the west. The only difference was that the partially necrotic patient had to live with seven fellow disciples.

When Shen Hua saw the localized necrosis, he was huddled alone in a corner, lost in thought, muttering to himself, "Life is truly like a game of chess; once a move is made, there's no going back..."

Shen Hua stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so unhappy? What's bothering you? Tell us so we can cheer you up!"

The necrotic tissue looked up at the sound. Seeing it was Shen Hua, it was both surprised and delighted: "So it's Brother Xia Ye! Thank you so much for revealing the information about the spirit box; I found it successfully yesterday!"

"It's nothing," Shen Hua said casually. "What are you doing here all alone, sighing and complaining?"

"Oh, is that so?" the person with localized necrosis said with an embarrassed smile, "I accidentally ate a braised pork knuckle while I was on a diet."

"That smells delicious." Shen Hua laughed. "I thought you had a relapse and went to the hospital to water the vegetative patients with mineral water again."

"No, how did you know I did that?" Localized Necrosis exclaimed in surprise. "Did you watch my live stream?"

"I've seen a little bit..." Shen Hua said casually, then got down to business, "I came to see you today because I have something important to discuss. You should know that the game officially opens its dungeons on February 8th, right?"

"Of course I know, all players on the server received the game notification." Local Necrosis nodded.

But upon hearing Shen Hua's words, his eyes immediately lit up: "Could it be that Brother Xia Ye has some ideas?"

Shen Hua lowered his voice and said, "How about I take you to get the first kill?"

"Would you like to invite me to join the first kill team?" Local Necrosis was flattered.

He immediately replied seriously, "Yes, of course I'll go!"

"It's a deal then, let's meet up then." Shen Hua sent him a friend request, then turned to leave.

After adding each other as friends, Shen Hua could chat with the person with localized necrosis via private messages. However, Shen Hua's friend list was currently empty.

Immediately accept the friend request if there is localized necrosis.

Seeing Shen Hua about to leave, he quickly stopped him: "Wait for Brother Xia Ye!"

"Is there anything else?"

"Are there any other people on the team besides the two of us? Should we get to know our teammates beforehand?"

Shen Hua smiled faintly: "No need, it's just the two of us."

Localized Necrosis's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief: "Just the two of us? But isn't this a five-player dungeon?"

"Two people are enough," Shen Hua said calmly.

If it weren't for the fact that a team is required for a dungeon run, he wouldn't even bring a character with a localized necrosis.

The person with localized necrosis was full of doubt: "How can two people clear a dungeon? Everyone else forms a five-person team, how can our progress be comparable to theirs?"

Shen Hua waved his hand, unwilling to say more: "We'll see when the time comes. I'm leaving now."

……

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was midnight on February 8th – the moment the dungeon opened.

However, after going online, Shen Hua did not rush to the dungeon like most players. Instead, he stayed in the sect and followed the routine of daily cultivation, weapon crafting, and medicine making.

He didn't contact the localized necrosis until the next day.

Seeing that Brother Xia Ye had finally sent a message, the localized necrosis was extremely excited and typed line after line of text in the chat box.

I'm going crazy with the localized necrosis!

Everyone else was engrossed in conquering the dungeon, while he was just standing outside watching.

But this old man, Brother Xia Ye, wasn't in a hurry at all.

If he hadn't known that Xia Ye had been staying in the sect, he would have even suspected that Xia Ye had abandoned him and formed another team to raid a dungeon!

Finally, Shen Hua managed to contact him!

"Brother, you finally remembered the dungeon! Shall we set off now?"

"Brother, what preparations do I need to make?"

"Based on the intelligence I've gathered, the first boss is weak to water, so we can bring water-attribute magical artifacts..."

Messages popped up one after another in the chat box, and the anxiety of the localized necrosis was practically overflowing from the words.

Upon seeing these messages, Shen Hua calmly smiled.

In fact, he was already able to solo the dungeon yesterday.

The reason I didn't go is simple: based on my past experience, the first player to get the first kill of the first dungeon, [Blood Shadow Ancient Academy], won't be available until the third day after it opens.

If he were to solo the entire game on the very first day, it would draw far too much attention. Players are fine, but what they fear most is being targeted by [Heaven's Will].

It's the second day now, so it's much safer to go for the first kill.

Moreover, he put on a show and did a lot of work.

He not only collected a lot of information from game forums, but also went to the sect's library to look up information about the Blood Shadow Academy.

With this information, he could easily fool "Heaven's Will".
