Survival in the Core: I'm writing a guide for the entire server.

The Gold Rush ship slowly came to a stop at the boundary of the seal of order.

Lin You jumped out of the car and walked to the seal of order.

The pale gold patterns on the wall no longer shimmered, as if they had entered a period of calm.

He reached out and touched the barrier, and similar information appeared before his eyes.

[Order Seal (Stable)]

Current erosion level: 60%

The "Breakthrough to the Center of the Earth" mission has been updated.

"Hmm? There's new content for the Earth's Core Breakthrough mission?"

Lin You raised an eyebrow and opened the taskbar.

He only has two tasks.

One is "Rebuilding the Blade of Terra", which cannot be completed yet and can only be left unfinished for now.

The other one is the "Breakthrough to the Center of the Earth" mission.

……

[Breakthrough: 25535 Newbie Zone]

[Note: You have defeated the guardian of the 10th level of the Earth's core. Your next choice will be crucial.]

【Mission Route ① - Corruption Barrier: Use Corruption Powder to erode the Order Barrier, and proceed through the gap to a deeper level. This action will increase the corruption rate by 0.01%】

【Mission Route ② - Repair the Barrier: Use a total of 100 million units of Purification Powder on the Order Barrier to reduce its erosion level to zero】

[Reward: Unknown]

[Additional Information: When the corruption level drops to 0%, the corruption will be completely removed from the 25535 newbie zone, at which point the seal will be permanently opened and accessible to all players.]

When the erosion of the Order Barrier reaches 100%, it will become completely ineffective, and the Corruption will rapidly spread upwards from the 10th layer of the Earth's core.

[After successfully purifying the seal of order, the newbie zone 25535 will receive a "named" reward.]

This reward is a special honor that provides unique bonus effects to all players in this region.

……

After reading the newly emerged additional information, Lin You fell silent.

He had already witnessed the power of the Corruption Lands during this period.

Not only are there unpredictable monsters from the underworld, such as Soul Eaters and Devouring Monsters.

The worst part is that as long as you stay in the Corruption Zone, the minecart will be constantly corroded!

Once the erosion of the barrier of order reaches 100%, the corrupted land will spread from the 10th layer of the earth's core.

At that time, players who fail to reach the 11th floor of the Earth's core will be in dire straits!

"Big brother, what are you doing standing there in a daze?"

Xia Qi's voice came from behind.

She jogged over to Lin You and looked up at the cracked wall.

"Is this the seal of order?"

"Um."

Lin You responded with a nod, without offering any further explanation.

"So, what are you planning to do?"

Xia Qi tilted her head, her tone as relaxed as if they were discussing what to eat for dinner.

"Why not just use the Corruption Powder to create an opening and go straight to level 11? You already have the recipe anyway."

Lin You turned to look at her and shook her head.

"Go back to the car first, I need to talk to someone about something."

"Hmm? It seems things are more complicated than I thought."

Xia Qi blinked, but didn't ask any further questions.

Upon returning to the Gold Rush ship, Lin You immediately opened the private channel.

[Lin You: @Everyone, emergency meeting, everyone who can come, please attend]

Less than a minute after the message was sent, the channel became lively.

Vincent: Boss, I've arrived.

[Lu Ge: Says]

Kane: What is it?

Cheng Yan: ...You didn't have this attitude when I called you here.

Lin You didn't waste any words and directly summarized the information she had just seen.

[Lin You: Corruption Powder can create a temporary opening, allowing people to go directly to the 11th floor, but it will accelerate the collapse of the seal.]

[Lin You: Purification Powder can repair the seal, but it requires a large amount of materials.]

[Lin You: Once the erosion level is maxed out, the corrupted land will spread upwards, devouring the entire newbie area, and everyone will die.]

[Lin You: If the seal is fully restored, all players will be able to pass through, and the entire server will receive a "named" reward.]

The channel remained silent for a long time.

Then Cheng Yan was the first to speak.

Cheng Yan: Which path do you plan to take?

[Lin You: Purification]

A few more seconds of silence followed.

Vincent: I support Lin You!

Xia Qi: I also support my older brother!

[Lugo: ...How long will the purification take?]

Lin You: I don't know, but it's definitely a huge project.

[Kane: What if someone wanted to break the seal directly and get to the 11th floor first?]

[Lin You: Is the person you're talking about you?]

Kane: I've reached the 10th floor.

[Lin You: I won't interfere with your choice, but I'd like to add a few points. Once you leave via the first route, you will be permanently cut off from the newbie zone and will be unable to use the newbie zone forum and market.]

Lin You: Think it over carefully.

Kane: ...

[Vincent: What materials are needed for Purification Powder?]

[Lin You: I obtained the recipe for Corruption Powder; the Purification Powder is with Xia Qi.]

[Shakky: Let me see~ I need 1 Silver Powder, 1 Magic Powder, 1 Glowing Tulip, and an Alchemy Table]

[Cheng Yan: Silver powder and magic powder are common materials after level 5, this fluorescent tulip...]

[Lin You: It's a magical plant that can be grown in a planting pot, but... it needs at least a 24-hour growth cycle.]

[Cheng Yan: I'll go gather silver powder and magic powder first. You can handle the glowing tulips, okay?]

Lin You: Okay, I'll figure something out.

After the meeting, Lin You turned off the channel, leaned back in her chair, and let out a long sigh.

Yanling jumped into his arms and rubbed against his palm.

Xiaqi got back into her mine cart, and the two little ones were finally able to come out and relax.

Vivian flew over from the planting pot and landed on his shoulder.

"Master, you look very tired."

"...Yeah, I am a little tired."

Lin You rubbed her temples and then opened the forum posting page.

He began writing today's strategy guide.

The post didn't mention how to defeat the World Eater.

Instead, it details the dangers of the Corrupted Lands.

And the advantages and disadvantages of the two routes of breaking through the Earth's core.

At the end, he added a note.

"The fate of the 25535 newbie zone is in the hands of all of us."

"I will not choose the first path, nor will I abandon my friends who have always supported me."

"But the second route requires a lot of manpower and resources."

"Here, I would like to make a request to everyone in my personal capacity—"

"I will post the materials and recipe needed to make the purification powder at the end of this post."

"I hope that those who are capable can start making purification powder now and deliver it to me through the market."

"I assure you that your efforts will not be in vain, and will ultimately be rewarded!"

"above."

Click Publish.

Shortly after the post was published, the entire 25535 newbie zone forum was in an uproar.

The messages in the chat room refresh so fast that it's impossible to read them one by one.

"The environment at the 10th level of the Earth's core is really this harsh?!"

"A monster that can burrow underground and track you?! Are they trying to kill us all?!"

"Minecarts lose durability just by staying in the Corruption Zone... That's disgusting!"

"Holy crap... the corruption is spreading upwards?!"

"So if we don't help make the purifying powder, even the Earth's core will be swallowed up?!"

"Boss Lin You said he wants to take the purification route; he wants to save everyone!"

"But how long will it take to produce a million doses of purification powder...?"

"Making one more is better than nothing, what else can we do?"

"I support Boss Lin You! He has never lied to us!"

"Yes, we can't let Boss Lin You shoulder this alone; we have a part to play too!"

"Master Lin You gave up the opportunity to immediately go to the 11th level of the Earth's core for our sake; we cannot let him down!"

"Brothers, there's only one path left for us—the path of Boss Lin You!"

……

Lin You was filled with excitement as she looked at the ever-increasing number of comments.

At this moment, the 25535 newbie zone is united in its efforts!
