Chapter 83: I Will Form the Head!

Chapter 83: I'll Form the Head

A collective transmigration to another world – what an incredibly audacious idea! Perhaps only these fearless and eccentric players could conceive of such a thing.

"What's going on?" Xu Zhi couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"Who is this?" asked the Bent-Neck Tree, full of confusion.

"My boyfriend," Chen Xi replied, quite pleased.

"Wow! An academic power couple? They even research papers and play games together? Are they planning to flaunt their relationship in the game?"

The few Bent-Neck Trees were instantly shocked.

Everyone knew how difficult it was to obtain a single slot. Who would have thought there was an academic power couple here who could secure two slots at once and enter the game together? It was utterly incredible.

They were a formidable duo!

Two big shots – not to be trifled with, truly not to be trifled with.

"Humph! Those who flaunt their affection die quickly!" The trees, who had been quite warm towards Chen Xi moments before, suddenly grew distant upon seeing her boyfriend arrive. "Come on, let's go to the meeting."

The trees uprooted themselves and strode rapidly forward.

Meanwhile, a tree in the distance suddenly looked bewildered. "Hey, wait for me! I can't move!"

"'What kind of tree can't walk? You clearly aren't a proper plant.' The Bent-Neck Trees sighed helplessly and worked together to uproot the other tree."

Then, the trees hoisted the verdant tree onto their shoulders, carrying it like a shoulder pole, and strode quickly forward.

Chen Xi watched the bizarre scene – a few long-legged trees carrying another tree as they walked – and was instantly stunned as well.

She quickly said to Xu Zhi, "A top-secret event! Let's go! We should check out that meeting and join the fun! I'm so incredibly hyped! All players transmigrating to another world – it sounds impossible, but currently, only two big shots have received achievement rewards. How could all players possibly survive? But what if it's true? Maybe we could enter the other world too! That would be amazing!"

Chen Xi was no stranger to the deeds of the Alchemist Emperor. That was an incredibly real game world, and to say she didn't envy such a life would be a lie.

After all, how long do modern people live?

Eighty? Ninety?

But in that world, if you're strong enough, you can live for hundreds of years, reign supreme, learn witchcraft, become a transcendent powerhouse, enjoy infinite possibilities, and live a spectacular life. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a true second life.

"'We definitely have to go see.' Xu Zhi thought for a moment. He had originally come for a date, to chat and relax, but he never expected to witness something like this, and now there's more trouble brewing. 'Can't they ever just rest?' he mused inwardly."

"Wait for me for five minutes. I'll go check the posts and understand the situation,' Xu Zhi said."

After saying this, Xu Zhi logged off directly.

He checked the forum and only then realized that while he had been too focused on the Alchemist Emperor's posts, there was actually another post that was also quite popular.

The poster was named 'Xuebaixue,' a newbie player from the third beta test, who at that very moment had posted something extraordinary.

"Let's all enter the other world together?"

"'Impossible! Only a few big shots entered before. How could all of us leave the newbie village?'"

Everyone was criticizing it as grandstanding, but after reading through the post, with its detailed analysis and rudimentary biological structure diagrams, everyone erupted in excitement.

"'The previous 'engine' creatures, which controlled external mechanical beings, were already incredibly inventive creatures. Who knew this would be even more powerful!'"

"'Once you think about it, it really is feasible!'"

"'Holy moly! It's actually a composite creature!'"

"'Combine! I'll form the head! (Image of a Gundam warrior transforming.)'"

"'I'll form the skin! (Image of a Magic Knight Rayearth transformation.)'"

"'I'll form the bones! (Image of a Sailor Moon transformation.)'"

"'Oh no, I can't find the pictures anymore (crying).'"

This post instantly became explosively popular.

Before, everyone had only observed the Alchemist Emperor's events remotely, leaving them wanting more. Now? Everyone could participate together, entering the sandbox world as a group. Just thinking about it was incredibly exciting!

It was like forming a guild and becoming an aggregate creature. If successful, it would be absolutely exhilarating, and the sense of accomplishment would be unimaginable. This was the most monumental plan sandbox players had conceived since the game's launch.

Xu Zhi scanned through it and instantly understood everything.

It was precisely the player who had previously intended to evolve composite creatures and create an eighth-level mythical being.

As expected, as soon as he entered, he started stirring things up and initiated his plan.

Xuebaixue: "Brothers, evolving on your own might not even be possible; you know the difficulty involved. This is a rare opportunity for you to enter the other world. Instead of fumbling around by yourselves, it's better to enter once first and then continue exploring your potential races later. If you want to join this 'God-Making' plan, come on in! First come, first served."

ChunziLovesLearning: "Newbies are monsters! I'm so hyped! Do I also have a chance to enter the other world?"

LittleTigerDownTheMountain: "It's us, it's us! I was so excited after seeing the screenshots and life of the big shot. Now it's finally our turn. Although the big shot entered alone, we can only form a team. Once we're in, we'll smash the Alchemist Emperor and snatch my goddess Armin!"

AgainSpendAndChopHand: "So if it really succeeds and this path is viable, wouldn't we all be able to team up and enter the sandbox world in the future? (Excited)"

AkinaSpeed: "I don't think so. The achievement reward should be a one-time thing. Similar species can only receive it once. In other words, this is players' only chance! This will be another massive carnival."

Everyone discussed animatedly, incredibly excited, even debating the feasibility.

Thus, the current meeting was underway, discussing feasibility and how to cooperate based on the big shot's evolution blueprints.

Xu Zhi smiled upon seeing this. "I've been wondering how to push things forward," he thought, "but now everyone is incredibly excited because they saw the Alchemist Emperor's live stream and are eager to stir up trouble."

Xu Zhi thought for a moment, then re-entered the game and briefly explained the situation to Chen Xi, who was beside him.

"'I can also enter the other world?' Chen Xi was thrilled to hear this. 'Wow, that big shot is amazing! We can also seize this opportunity! Let's go! The two of us should participate. This must be the only chance; if we miss it, we probably won't get another.'"

Xu Zhi thought for a moment. "I won't participate. I don't have any particular thoughts about this other world. But you can go ahead and join. It's a rare opportunity. You can go in and 'tour' with these big shots, enjoy the beautiful scenery and landscapes of the other world. Aren't you a casual landscape enthusiast? This is a great chance for you."

"'You're not going? That's a shame,' Chen Xi said, feeling a bit disappointed."

Xu Zhi, however, rested his chin on his hand, thinking to himself if he should give Chen Xi a 'backdoor' – find a way for her to secure one of the leading roles in this God-Making project.

After all, if these eccentric players seized the opportunity to stir up trouble, it would be difficult for him to resolve. He needed to plant a spy, and this spy should ideally be a bit naive, someone who would completely listen to his words and advice while playing the game. Wasn't there a perfect candidate right in front of him?

"But how could he manage to get Chen Xi involved?" Xu Zhi had already begun to ponder his scheme.
