Chapter 65: Evolution Sandbox World's Third Test

Xu Zhi saw this scene, nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't blame me for discouraging you; you're just looking for trouble for yourself and for me. Do you think this fan doesn't consume electricity? This high-power fan wastes much more electricity than an air conditioner. Does my orchard's electricity bill come free?"

Feeling completely justified after shattering the confidence of a certain transmigrator, he returned to the sandbox in the orchard. He sat on a chair, silently eating an apple, thinking, "This electric fan will stay here. The moment someone approaches the sky, the Land of Gods, it will continue to blow them down again!"

While seemingly relieved, he was secretly wary. "I'm still too weak," he mused. "According to their power system, I'm just a Level 1 junior wizard, an absolute beginner. I almost had my lie exposed! The natives in the sandbox world are evolving too quickly. Under the leadership of a certain individual, they are frantically exploring the edge of the world, searching for gods in the sky."

Level 7 Epic Wizards are indeed terrifying.

It would take the force of a Category 10 or higher typhoon to blow away this tiny ant version of him...

Moreover, this small ant, with its current power, can easily kill an adult human!

"This level already poses a threat," he thought. "What about the next level? Each wizard level represents a qualitative change, with power increasing hundreds or thousands of times..."

Due to their ant-like size, Level 7 Epic Wizards are not yet too terrifying.

However, once they reach Level 8 Mythical Wizard, their size limitation will likely no longer be an issue; they will be invincible!

A tiny ant capable of flight, a creature smaller than a grain of rice, flying everywhere, wielding a staff, and casting large-scale forbidden spells would be enough to rampage and slaughter modern humans.

"Fortunately, Level 8 Mythical Wizards have not yet appeared," Xu Zhi mused, frowning slightly. "This was merely a theoretical, hypothetical level of wizard proposed by the Three Witches back then."

The Three Witches, years ago, had derived these wizard levels—Level 6 Legendary, Level 7 Epic, Level 8 Mythical—from information inadvertently revealed by Mercury, the God of Wisdom.

After all, Gilgamesh, based on Sumerian historical records, was speculated to be a major realm stronger than the Level 6 Three Witches of that time, meaning Level 7. And back then, Mercury called him a "false god," implying that Gilgamesh's next level, Level 8 Wizard, should be that of a deity.

Hence, they were named Level 8 Mythical Wizards.

"I never thought that something I casually mentioned back then would lead to them wildly speculating and creating these realm divisions out of thin air, and that they would come true so quickly," he thought. "They've now reached Level 7 Epic, and the legendary Level 8 Mythical Wizard has yet to appear... I need to find a way to prevent this and plan accordingly."

That realm already represented a terrifying deity.

Even if it was a god of the wizarding world, even if it was a god the size of an ant.

"But if such a monster truly appears, even if I just release one tiny ant from the wizarding world—a monarch emperor, a mythical wizard—it could still cause devastating damage to human society!" he pondered. "An ant flying wildly, wielding a staff, and massacring humans on the streets... the thought alone is terrifying."

This incredible thought popped into Xu Zhi's mind: "This is a high-dimensional, superpowered world civilization, even if I've set their creature sizes to be tiny."

Xu Zhi frowned slightly. "Also, the Land of Gods above the wizarding world needs to be established somehow. Sooner or later, someone will reach Level 8 and explore Achilles again, and then there will be no way to conceal the lie."

Being a creator was quite a disheartening task.

In reality, their rapid development and swift advancement should also be attributed to their smaller size; smaller bodies are more prone to energy condensation and terrifying qualitative changes.

And even if the power from these qualitative changes is only a tiny fraction due to their diminutive size, it's still not something ordinary people can resist.

The further they developed, the more their tiny size gave them an advantage compared to larger body types.

At this moment, in the orchard, after dealing with the usual "rebellion" from the little fellow attempting to ascend to the sky and batting him back, Xu Zhi received a call from Chen Xi.

"Honey, I've arrived at school. Just wanted to let you know I'm safe," a soft voice said from the other end.

Xu Zhi smiled, completely forgetting his harsh demeanor from dealing with that fellow earlier. His tone softened. "That's good to hear. Don't worry, I'll buy you a computer online and send it to you. Remember to open the box and sign for it. Once the third beta test starts and the slots are assigned, you can begin playing."

"Oh, okay!" the voice on the other end replied, clearly excited.

Xu Zhi chatted with Chen Xi on the phone for a while longer before quietly hanging up.

"I clearly said I'd start the third beta test, but with that person's rebellion, I almost forgot about this," he mused. He considered that although Li Shengjiang was still in there, at this rate, he would have at least another hundred years of life.

Which meant about one day in real time.

If the netizens outside helped extend it, it could be several hundred years.

In other words, a few days in reality. Xu Zhi couldn't be bothered with him.

He decided to use these few days to prepare for the third beta test of the Leisure Evolution bio-sandbox, as this was his foundation and the source of extraordinary species.

He also needed to bring Chen Xi into the game.

"I need to evolve more species," Xu Zhi thought. "And the Sky Island, the Land of Gods... that's a headache! How can I create that?"

Previously, he had enthusiastically conducted research, developing new species like insect-apes and perfecting the world. But after getting a taste of the benefits, he became a complete hands-off manager. Why not use the group of unpaid laborers to evolve species for him?

Now, however, he was back to having to figure things out himself, and the task of designing a Land of Gods left Xu Zhi stumped again!

"Forget it, I'll think about it during the third beta test," he decided.

Xu Zhi then spent several hours that evening contemplating new ideas for the third beta test.

The next morning, bright and sunny, he drafted an announcement, and after ensuring there were no errors or omissions, he posted it on the official website's forum.

"Spore Evolution" Internal Beta Version 0.3 Officially Updated and Released.

Thank you to all netizens for your anticipation and support for this game. Many of you are eagerly awaiting the third beta test and the opening of more internal test slots. In response to popular demand, the game will now open its third beta test, offering thirty new slots. We welcome your applications.

As expected, the moment the announcement was made, the forum was abuzz again.
