In a thirty-square-meter sandbox.
The giants could now walk quite naturally, though they still couldn't jump. After all, their bodies were massive and heavy; jumping would cause them to instantly fall apart, break into pieces, and then have to reassemble. This was because their muscle strength and the pulling force of the flesh and blood tissues filling their bodies were still too weak. It was estimated that once they integrated the second gene, the slime's powerful strength gene, they would finally be able to hold together completely.
Learn for Nothing: "Brothers, I just have one question: Isn't my creature evolution concept awesome! Our 173 cell leaders, together with tens of thousands of species, have formed this five-thousand-zhang colossal giant. Looking at this sandbox now, it doesn't even seem that big."
Chunzi Loves Learning: "You're right, it just feels like the size of a multimedia classroom. It gives you such a sense of divine accomplishment, with trees as thick as chopsticks all over the ground. One step, and we'd trample countless mountains..."
Cute Girl Wants to Evolve into a Dragon, Spokesperson for Legend Web Games: "This is truly an eye-opener! Looking down at all the small mountains—so this is how ordinary creator gods feel looking at us little ants."
Autumn Mountain Speed: "Quick, quick! Let's take the path of beasts and experience the pride of a creator god! (Happy)"
Little Tiger Down the Mountain: "Won't there be any trouble? We're causing a ruckus in the creator god's yard, turning into such huge creatures. Won't we get a good beating? (Shaking with fear)"
Autumn Mountain Speed: "The bold get fat, the timid starve! First, we'll walk his path and leave him with no path to take! Then, we can even go sit on the chair by his door, experience the aura of a big boss, and commemorate the 'giant chair dungeon' where we were wiped out!"
Learn for Nothing: "We're going to sit on the creator god's dragon throne? Haha! Are we trying to usurp him?!"
Autumn Mountain Speed: "Hahaha! Exactly! We are born equal; who dares to be high and mighty!? I'll just say this: Old man Creator! The emperor's seat changes hands; today, I'm taking this one! (Havoc in Heaven.jpg)"
Learn for Nothing: "You're awesome, boss! (Comical)"
Little Tiger Down the Mountain: "You're awesome, boss! (Comical)"
These guys were really getting good at talking big. Their physical proficiency was already high enough, and they had indeed achieved massive sizes, reaching about Xu Zhi's chest level. However, due to their enormous size, they couldn't see the world outside the sandbox, which was blocked by the insectoid hive. Yet now, they were already eyeing Xu Zhi's throne.
"You want to sit in my seat? Someone clearly has a short memory. A few days without discipline, and they're trying to tear down the roof again. Time to make another note," Xu Zhi thought, a slight twitch in his brow as he silently made a mental entry. "However, it's time for them to be released."
Just as they were planning their mischief, a long-awaited system notification appeared before countless players, instantly igniting excitement in everyone.
**Announcement: Congratulations to the 173 players whose evolved species, "The Unifiers," possess immense potential and have earned an achievement reward.**
"It worked...""We did it...""Wifey, I'm coming!""Get lost! Arminius the Great is mine! I'm going to be the Monarch Emperor's man!"
Immediately, everyone was ecstatic, no longer thinking about sitting on the chairs in the yard. Then, only two options appeared before everyone:
**1. Keep the species as your initial starting race.****2. Start a second life.**
Many were stunned after seeing this. Why was one option missing?
"Huh? What happened to the 'permanently obtain a sandbox game slot' option?"
"Hahaha, how could they let you exploit a loophole? It's just one evolved creature. If all 173 players permanently got slots and no longer had to participate in the elimination system, that would be too big a loophole. The developers saw right through it!"
"I originally wanted to secretly choose that one. I'm so afraid of being eliminated! (Crying)"
"Me too! (Wailing)"
"Damn it, you scoundrels all wanted to be traitors! Good thing that option wasn't there; otherwise, we'd be crippled without most of our parts! How would we leave the新手村 (Newbie Village)?"
"Hahaha, the developers are brilliant; they've already guarded against traitors. I'm blown away!"
Initially, quite a few people did want to choose that option, as seizing the opportunity to get a permanent slot was indeed the best outcome. But now there was no choice, only two options remained. As for choosing the "permanently keep initial race" option, that was useless; what would be the point of keeping just one component?
So, everyone, without prior discussion, chose "start a second life" to begin an exciting journey to another world and meet their idols. Amidst their excitement, they silently waited for the prompt, which appeared seven or eight seconds later.
**Please proceed to the designated location below to break through the world barrier and cross the world passage.**
At a secret research institute somewhere in China, Asia.
"We have identified the true identity of the Alchemist Emperor: Li Shengjiang, the founder of a well-known domestic private enterprise." A document lay before everyone.
After all, Li Shengjiang wasn't very good at concealing his tracks. He had left too many clues before and had even hired many biology experts to help deduce a research paper on the evolution of slimes, so information leaking was inevitable. Moreover, his timeline also fit perfectly; he had been missing for over five days.
"It's just a pity that he has already come out. Otherwise, we could have had him stay inside to help us explore some things..."
The head of the institute immediately ordered, "Destroy the evidence to prevent foreign spies from investigating the Alchemist Emperor's identity and to protect his true identity."
"We have already contacted him. Li Shengjiang expressed his willingness to cooperate and provide information on the other world's situation, native inhabitants, local customs, and actual physical data measured..."
"However, he stated that he would not disclose his core secret: the core alchemy for forging 'Grantham,' and he requests that we respect his invention and intellectual property rights."
Intellectual property from another world? The director was momentarily stunned.
The two great world wonders were powerful, but "Grantham" was the strongest. Wearing it would boost one's strength by an entire realm. The Alchemist Emperor relied on this to rampage through the other world, so denying envy would be a lie.
"Fine, if he doesn't want to say, he doesn't have to. Allow him to retain intellectual property rights! Without rules, there can be no order. In our country's laws, intellectual property is sacred and inviolable, and this applies even to other worlds. We must take a long-term view, as we will eventually colonize the other world... Furthermore, his identity is extremely important. As a former Wizard Emperor in wizard history, even reappearing in that capacity in the Wizard World would be enough to accomplish many things."
Then, when they received news of Li Shengjiang's improved physical condition, they were even more shocked. Could it be feedback from the other world?
Suddenly, another announcement appeared.
**Please proceed to the designated location below to break through the world barrier and cross the world passage.**
The director's face immediately changed.
"We are about to enter the other world!""Scientists from all departments, begin maximum preparations!""We are about to cross a long world tunnel. What kind of dimensional technology is this? Space-traveling ability? We must study it!"
