You'll become a god, you'll create Earth ONLINE

Seeing that things were not going well, Su Hao strode forward.

He instinctively reached out with both hands to swing the thick book of "Advanced Mathematics".

This is the only heavy weapon in the entire dormitory that can cause "dizziness" and "critical hits," making it a true treasure of the dormitory.

However, just as Su Hao's hands grasped the book cover...

A feeling of extreme slipperiness and nausea, as if grasping a wad of cold snot, came from my palm.

I don't know how many rats I've killed; this advanced mathematics book is now completely soaked in green slime, black rat blood, and brain matter.

The pages were swollen like a steamed cake, emitting an extremely pungent stench.

[System notification: Your weapon "Advanced Mathematics (7th Edition)" has reached zero durability.]

[Status: Severe mental distress/physical damage.]

[Note: Knowledge may be power, but it's become too corrupt. Your basic human decency prevents you from wielding it anymore.]

"Damn you, you bastard planner!"

Su Hao's hand slipped, and the wet and slippery calculus book flew out of his hand and fell to the ground with a "thud," turning into a pile of foul-smelling rotten paper.

Weapons, all troops wiped out!

"Squeak squeak squeak—!"

The rat that was biting Zhao Lei's shoe had gone completely mad. Its disgusting fangs had already pierced through the shoe and were about to bite into Zhao Lei's toes.

Outside the door, because the rat in front was no longer blocking the way, the dark swarm of rats behind began to desperately squeeze into the ten-centimeter-wide gap in the door. It was clear that the head of the second rat had already poked its head in.

"We're going to be wiped out! We're going to be wiped out! Help!"

Zhao Lei, who was pinned at the bottom, let out a desperate scream.

At this critical moment.

"Take this 'Mount Tai crushing down' blow!!!"

Fatty Wang, who had been hiding in the back and shouting "666," suddenly unleashed an agility that was completely disproportionate to his size.

He didn't use any weapons at all.

He noticed a solid wood folding chair that he usually used to store clothes next to him.

Wang Pangzi roared, grabbed the nearly ten-pound solid wood chair, lifted it above his head, and slammed it down on the rat on the ground that was biting Zhao Lei's foot in an extremely savage manner!

"Bang!!!"

Wood chips flew everywhere.

This attack was powerful and heavy, and it was further amplified by the fat man's own strength [Constitution: 7].

Before the mutated rat could even scream, it was smashed into a pile of minced meat by the heavy solid wood chair, head and body at the same time.

"-45!" (Crushing damage!)

"squeak……"

The rat vanished in a streak of blue light.

"Don't you fucking stand there! Push the table! Seal the door crack! Hurry!"

Su Hao was the first to react, kicking the second rat that had just poked its head in the face, sending it flying back down the corridor.

"One! Two! Three! Go!"

Chen Fei and the fat man also rushed forward.

The four of them used all their strength, bracing their shoulders against the metal desk, and with an extremely ear-piercing metallic scraping sound, finally slammed the ten-centimeter gap in the door shut with a loud "bang"!

"Click!"

Su Hao frantically pushed the latch behind the door back up, then used the edge of the desk to firmly wed the door panel.

"Huff... huff... huff..."

In the dark dormitory, only the heavy breathing of four people, like bellows, could be heard.

Outside the door, the rats, now blocked again, let out angry screechs, and the sound of them banging on the door panel became more frequent once more.

Fortunately, they had killed twenty or thirty rats through the crack in the door, so the rat density in the area outside the door had obviously decreased, and the impact wasn't as terrifying as it had been at the beginning.

Zhao Lei slumped to the ground, touching his sneakers that had been bitten through, and swallowed hard, still shaken.

"Damn it... I was just one centimeter away from losing my toe."

Chen Fei threw away the bent clothesline pole in his hand and angrily punched his thigh.

"What kind of garbage game design is this?! That monster was clearly down to its last sliver of health, how did my weapon suddenly break?"

Su Hao stared at the unrecognizable "advanced mathematics mess" on the ground, his face extremely grim.

"Take a look at the system logs."

Su Hao brought up a semi-transparent panel in the void and pointed to a line of very inconspicuous red text in the lower right corner.

Chen Fei and Zhao Lei went over to take a look.

[Due to the extremely harsh environment of the starting village, the abyssal aura permeating the air causes the durability of all 'white/unqualityd' equipment to degrade at a rate 300% faster.]

"Grass!"

Chen Fei completely lost his composure, pointing at the ceiling and cursing loudly:

"Is this game designer seriously ill?! A stealth change! This is definitely a backend cheat mechanism! I was grinding away peacefully, almost becoming the Ten Mile Slope Sword God, and suddenly he confiscated my weapon!"

"I hope this lousy game planner never gets a seasoning packet when buying instant noodles! And that he always gets a guaranteed pity pull in gacha games!"

Fatty Wang also indignantly echoed this sentiment.

"Exactly! It's such a jerk! If this game had customer service, I'd call them and yell at their whole family!"

……

Higher-dimensional space realm.

Lin Xian listened to the notification sounds of "Source Power +0.5" and "Source Power +1.2" and comfortably picked at his ears.

Although these guys were swearing filthy.

However, the extremely aggrieved and angry emotions they felt because they were "plotted against" were actually a very pure source of energy!

"Go ahead and curse, the more you curse, the more I earn."

Lin Xian looked at the screen with a smile.

"Who gave you permission to exploit the bug? If we didn't add some damage reduction mechanisms, you bunch of Fourth Calamities could have pierced through the Jiangcheng University newbie village with a broken clothesline pole."

He wasn't worried that these people would die.

Because a qualified capitalist must understand the principle of "giving a slap and then a sweet treat".

Having squeezed their fill of basic weapons, it's time to let them experience the true thrill of "pay-to-win/loot box" spending.

……

Inside dormitory 404.

The four of them cursed and swore for a while, but the banging sounds outside the door constantly reminded them that it was far from time to relax.

"Alright, stop yelling. He can't hear you even if you're yelling at the planner."

Zhao Lei sighed and rubbed his sore shoulders.

"Without weapons, we're lambs to the slaughter. This door won't hold for much longer."

"Who said we don't have weapons?"

Fatty Wang suddenly chuckled, his tone revealing an extremely lewd excitement.

He groped around in the dark for a while.

Then, as if presenting a treasure, he lined up the three small wooden boxes that emitted a faint white light and placed them on the dusty table in the middle of the dormitory.

These three treasure chests were randomly dropped by the rats when they were farming monsters on the assembly line.

They were so engrossed in the killing that they didn't even have time to open the guns; the fat guy just picked them all up and stuffed them into his pockets.

"Brothers."

Fatty Wang rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming.

"The system just said that this is called the [Newbie Survival Blind Box]."

"What's inside the blind boxes? That's up to our luck!"

The oppressive atmosphere in the dormitory instantly vanished upon seeing the three treasure chests radiating an alluring glow.

No gamer can resist the temptation of opening loot boxes!

If so, then there aren't enough boxes!
