Chapter 1616 - 411: A Brand-New Experience, Damn Shady Merchant_2

Chapter 1616: Chapter 411: A Brand-New Experience, Damn Shady Merchant_2

Beneath the sea, the outline of a sunken city and glowing crystal cluster caves can be vaguely seen.

Scene introduction: A place where void fissures converge, fragments wrapped in void matter occasionally fall here. The fallen meteors might contain special minerals from the depths of the void, twisted crystals... Of great value, the danger level of the scene is high, and the energy at the meteor landing point is extremely unstable, easily causing space ripples and destruction, suitable for explorers who dare to take risks and seize opportunities.

Middle map: Ashen Land (Earthquake Continent).

The screen shows an endless ochre plain, littered with metallic remains of giant war vehicles, lying on the ground like the corpses of giant beasts.

Scene introduction: A place of civilization remains and new birth, the barren land is permeated with inert energy radiation, yet it has also spawned mutated minerals and peculiar flora and fauna adapted to the radiation environment, moderate in strength, suitable for small player groups to explore.

Right map: Illusion Sound Ruins (Pale Continent).

Scene introduction: A land constantly echoing with various strange sounds, requiring constant vigilance against the chaotic sound waves corrupting the mind, with an abundance of sound-type life forms, suitable for players inclined towards hunting growth to explore.

...

Along with this player qualification release, three newcomer maps also went live.

Each of these map scenes has its own characteristics, suitable for different types of players.

But in terms of chance encounters with opportunity, the Fallen Star Sea Area is clearly superior to the other two scenes.

If lucky enough to encounter a void falling star carrying high-value resources, one can gain substantial resource returns, even a massive windfall.

After clicking through the three maps and viewing the more detailed introduction and even the distribution of monster types, Ye Ming made a decision in his heart.

He decisively chose the map on the far left: Fallen Star Sea Area.

Crack!

Upon completing the selection, a shattering sound suddenly came from the light blue Crystal Wall in front of him.

A shadow claw phantom, composed purely of shadow, suddenly broke free from the restraints within the Crystal Wall and tore out.

It roared towards him with an oppressive presence.

This was precisely his chosen initial Life Soul: Dusk Shadow.

The next second, a strong sense of weightlessness from space displacement hit him.

When his vision cleared again, a deafening tide of noise instantly drowned him.

"Brothers, the Roaring Star Guild is established today, recruiting potential newcomers, destined to reach the peak of Imperial Tomb Village and replace the Divine Hall Guild as number one. Anyone wanting to get a leg up, add me as a friend. Our future is ours to create, come be a founder."

"Don’t crowd, who stepped on my foot, you damn XXXX!"

"Everyone here is the lucky person to get the qualification this round, let’s happily start exploring!"

"I’m almost squashed, can the beasts in front move a bit, calling your uncle, hurry out!"

The silhouettes around were increasing every second, with players being transported out due to space overload.

The next second, a game notification sounded in Ye Ming’s mind, and he was forcibly teleported out.

When his vision cleared, he was on a platform built from rough rocks and simple wood.

This was evidently the space exit of the Fallen Star Sea Area.

Looking out, the platform, beach, and shallow sea were packed with the figures of newly descended players, as numerous as the tide.

Meanwhile, more players were being brought in by white light.

"Wow, the texture of this seawater is incredible. Is this Monster World? I’ve finally got the qualification, waited three years, do you know how I’ve lived these three years... Watching live streams every day, itching to jump in, too painful."

"Anyone for teaming up to farm sea crabs, farm all day, then have a crab roast party at night, the wonderful player journey officially begins!"

"Looking for a Damage Taker daddy, only missing you for a fixed party. Must have a good personality, and it’d be great if you also have looks."

"Who touched my ass? Looking for death?"

"Hurricane Guild recruiting, good benefits, lots of girls, cash bonuses for holidays and festivals..."

Various shouts, Life Soul characteristic release sounds, and the salty fishy sea breeze mixed together to form a chaotic yet vibrant and lively atmosphere.

Ye Ming stood amidst the crowd, feeling a kind of noise completely different from the strict military formation of the Mingwu Clan.

A feeling rose in his heart that he had never experienced before.

Now he was no longer a commander of a clan, burdened with the heavy pressure of survival for billions of clanspeople, having to tread with extreme caution with every step.

Although he still bore the heavy mission of resurrecting his clanspeople, his way forward was completely different.

He no longer needed to immediately plunge into a bloody meat grinder-like battlefield, no longer needed to constantly be on guard against attacks from all directions, both covert and overt.

He could watch the spectacle of falling stars in this sea area, listen to the sound of waves against rocks, and even, like these newborn players around him, explore the details of this world out of pure curiosity.

This possibility of slowing down, and the relaxation of no longer having to keep every nerve stretched to the limit.

For him, it was an unprecedented luxury experience.

He took a deep breath of the sea-salted air, his gaze sweeping across the noisy crowd and the distant scenery.

The journey remained, the goal unchanged.

But this time, perhaps he could proceed at a different rhythm.

The players gathered here soon split into two waves.

One group, calling friends and companions, excitedly rushed towards the beach, or directly leaped into the crystal-clear water, planning to start their exploration from the ocean.

Meanwhile, another group of players chose to head towards the dense jungle inside the island.

Ye Ming did not hesitate and stepped forward to join the team heading into the depths of the island.
