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

Lin Xian chuckled and pointed at the trembling Wang Pangzi on the screen.

"For these college students from the south living in peacetime, the psychological impact of a cockroach the size of a washbasin that can fly is no less than that of Godzilla."

"Believe it or not, even if this thing only has an attack power of 1, as long as it flaps its wings and flies towards that fat guy's face, that fat guy can instantly unleash 10 points of Fear Source Power on me?"

[...The human psyche does indeed lack logic.]

The system seemed to freeze for a moment before giving a fair assessment.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense."

Lin Xian rubbed his hands together, his eyes gradually turning into those of a ruthless capitalist who exploits his employees.

"You can't keep fleecing the same sheep. Just scaring them won't work; you have to give them a little treat and let them experience the thrill of 'leveling up.'"

"Only in this way will they be like donkeys pulling a millstone, willingly fighting monsters and continuously providing me with source power."

Lin Xian stretched out his fingers and tapped them rapidly on the control panel a few times.

"Let's send a newbie quest to these four lucky winners of the 404 error to celebrate!"

……

Earth, Dormitory 404.

"Bang! Bang bang!"

The mutated cockroaches outside the door are hitting the glass more and more frequently.

The balcony sliding door was already somewhat dilapidated, and the impact caused the aluminum alloy door frame to creak under the strain.

"Boss, that door looks like it's about to give way!"

Chen Fei stood on the bed, clutching his pillow tightly in his hand, as if it were his last line of defense.

"Of course I saw it!"

Zhao Lei was so anxious that he was covered in sweat.

"Quickly grab something to block the door! Push the table over there!"

Before they could even make a move.

"Ding!"

A crisp electronic notification sound rang in the minds of all four people simultaneously.

Immediately afterwards, the blue light screen in front of them flashed, and a task box with a red exclamation mark popped up, directly blocking their field of vision.

[System Warning: Player detected as being attacked by hostile units!]

[Newbie Survival Mission Triggered: Dormitory Defense]

[Mission Objective: Utilize all available resources to kill the Lv.1 Mutant Blade-Footed Cockroach.]

[Mission Rewards: +10 Experience Points, unlock personal attribute panel, and receive 1 Beginner Survival Blind Box.]

[Failure Penalty: Become insects' midnight snack; this account is permanently deleted (physical death).]

[Countdown: 30 seconds remaining, target will breach defense!]

Holy crap!

Su Hao gasped after looking at the task panel.

Death in the physical sense?!

This means it's not a prank; if you're bitten to death by that thing, you're really dead!

"This damn system is for real!"

Chen Fei also saw the mission prompt clearly.

"Brothers, stop standing around! We'll die if we don't kill it! The system has issued a mission; this is definitely the start of the Fourth Calamity, and killing monsters will drop equipment!"

"Screw your gear! I don't even have a beginner's wooden sword!"

Fatty Wang had a long face. Although he complained, under the threat of death, he still scrambled to his feet and grabbed a bottle of Six God Floral Water from the table.

"The system says to utilize all available resources... Will this work?"

Just as Fatty Wang's hand grasped the bottle of floral water...

Something magic happened.

Another small data box popped up in front of his eyes, hovering above the bottle of floral water:

Half a bottle of Liushen Floral Water (Gray Quality)

[Type: Consumable/Throwable]

[Attribute: Causes mild irritation to insect-type monsters. If it hits the eye, it deals 1-2 points of magic damage and inflicts a 'Blind' effect (lasts 3 seconds).]

[Note: Icy Lotus Mint scent, you deserve it.]

Fatty Wang was stunned, then overjoyed.

"Holy crap! It's really become data-driven! Even the toilet water has attributes now!"

"Let me see mine!"

Seeing this, Zhao Lei grabbed the large broom he usually used for sweeping from the corner of the wall.

[Worn-out plastic broom (white quality)]

[Type: Two-handed blunt weapon]

[Attribute: Attack Power +2.]

【Durability: 15/20】

[Note: Covered in unidentified hair and dust, it provides a physical attack with a slight psychological impact.]

"It works! This broom is white!"

Zhao Lei swung the broom a couple of times and felt that it seemed lighter than usual, with a strange sense of power coming from the handle.

Su Hao looked around and saw Chen Fei trying to take the clothesline off.

Rusty Aluminum Alloy Clothesline (White Quality): Attack Power +3, longer attack range.

Su Hao walked quickly to the desk, his gaze sweeping over a row of books before finally settling on an extremely thick book that looked like a brick.

He grabbed the book without hesitation.

[Advanced Mathematics (7th Edition) (White Quality)]

[Type: One-handed heavy weapon/Source of psychological pollution]

[Attributes: Extremely heavy, attack power +4. If used for a heavy attack, there is a very low chance of inflicting a 'stun' effect on monsters with low intelligence.]

[Note: The nightmare that has haunted countless students is now being experienced by the monster.]

Su Hao weighed the thick calculus book, hundreds of pages long, in his hand, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.

"Very good, knowledge is power."

"Bang! Crack!"

Just as the four of them received their beginner equipment.

A loud cracking sound came from the balcony door.

The mutated cockroach finally smashed through the cheap glass door!

Countless shards of glass flew into the dormitory like raindrops, and the enormous and disgusting body of a cockroach squeezed its way in through the door frame.

Up close, this thing is even more terrifying.

Its back was covered in disgusting mucus, its abdomen opened and closed, and the barbs on its legs gleamed like steel needles.

"Hiss—!"

As soon as it landed, it let out a piercing screech, and its scarlet compound eyes instantly locked onto Fatty Wang, who was closest to it.

"Oh my god! It's coming at me! I'm crispy!"

Fatty Wang let out a blood-curdling scream.

"Fatty, spray it with floral water in its eyes!"

Zhao Lei roared and charged forward with a broom in hand.

"I'll take the damage! Third brother, you poke it with the clothesline pole!"

A typical example of someone who has seen pigs run even though they've never eaten pork.

These male college students often played games together, but when it came to a life-or-death situation, they miraculously displayed a somewhat rough teamwork.

Although Wang Pangzi was terrified, his will to survive overcame his fear. He closed his eyes, gripped the bottle of floral water with both hands, and frantically pressed it against the charging cockroach.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"

A mist of water carrying a strong scent of ice lotus and mint gushed out.

Just then, a spray of water mist entered the cockroach's compound eye.

"hiss--!!!"

The mutated cockroach went berserk instantly, its huge body suddenly stopping, its two front claws painfully scratching at its head.

Two red numbers immediately appeared above its head.

"-1!"

"-1!"

[The target is now blinded for 3 seconds!]
