Chapter 40 Reactions from All Parties
[Ding! Player 'Lin Tian' has been detected as player number 9527, the first player on the newbie continent to repair the teleportation array and open the main city passage! Do you wish to announce this to the entire continent? You can choose to hide your name.]
"Hide!" Lin Tian confirmed in his mind without hesitation. Making a fortune quietly was the best strategy; he didn't want to be targeted by a bunch of bloodthirsty guys as soon as he left the newbie village.
The next second, a voice boomed in the minds of all the newbies in the 9527th newbie continent, all the newbie villages, and all the players!
[Mainland Announcement (No. 9527): Player No. 10086 from the starting village (name hidden) was the first to repair the teleportation array, successfully opening the passage to the main city! As the first pioneer, he/she is hereby rewarded with: +20 Free Attribute Points! +20 Skill Points!]
The announcement resounded through the sky, each word like thunder! The entire continent instantly fell into a deathly silence.
This deathly silence lasted only a moment before it was completely ignited!
"Holy crap!!!" In the newbie village No. 10086, the players who were just shouting to form a team suddenly erupted in a tremendous uproar, as if they had been collectively choked!
"The teleportation array is open?! The main city portal?!"
"The first pioneer?! From our village? Who? Who is it?!"
"Another one hiding their name! That level 10 player from last time was also hiding their name! Is it the same person?!"
"20 attribute points! 20 skill points! My god, this reward is insane!"
"Quick! Look at the altar! There's light there!"
Countless gazes instantly focused on the silver pillar of light that suddenly lit up in the center of the village and shot straight into the sky! The crowd surged toward the altar like a tide, amidst frenzied shouts and incredulous discussions.
However, the cold system notification did not end there.

Three times! Three times in a row! The announcement from the mainland resounded throughout the land! As if afraid someone wouldn't hear this earth-shattering news!
The entire newbie continent of No. 9527 was in complete turmoil!
......
Beginner Village No. 007, deep within a dark cave.
A mage with a cold and stern face was wielding his staff, drawing upon the raging power of the elements. Ice spikes rained down like a storm, freezing an 8th-level elite [Cave Scorpion] into an ice sculpture. Then, a fireball exploded, scattering ice shards and shell fragments everywhere.
This person is Li Yan, the SSS-level talent holder in the Novices Village No. 007.
[Ding! Killed an 8th-level elite cave scorpion, experience points +80!]
He was slightly out of breath, his experience bar had increased a little more, and he was still a little over halfway to level 9. The powerful sense of strength brought by his talent made him smile slightly. He was confident that he could reach level 10 in a day and become the pinnacle of 007 Village.
Just then—
[Announcement from Mainland China...]
A cold, grand voice suddenly flooded my mind.
Li Yan's gesture of waving his staff suddenly froze in mid-air, and the confident smile on his face instantly turned to ice.
"What?!" His pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed in a low voice.
Three consecutive announcements fell, like a final judgment. Li Yan's hand, gripping the staff, trembled slightly, his knuckles white from the excessive force. A chilling sensation, mixed with intense resentment and immense pressure, shot up his spine and head.
"It's him again! It's that guy hiding his name again!" Li Yan's voice was hoarse and trembling, a tremor he himself didn't even realize. His eyes burned with intense fire—the shock of being the absolute leader, and the humiliation of being left far behind. "Repairing the teleportation array... the main city passage... how could he be so fast?!" He clenched his fist tightly!
Meanwhile, in Beginner Village No. 10043, in a quiet forest clearing.
A graceful figure moved through the forest, elegantly reaping the prey of the forest cheetahs, her movements both graceful and deadly.
"Sister Yao, you're amazing!" said a cute girl wearing plate armor.
Ye Yao didn't answer. She brought up the panel, looking at the level "8" and the experience bar that was still more than halfway to level 9. Her cold face remained expressionless. Her plan was clear: after clearing this area, she should be able to reach the peak of level 8.
[Announcement from Mainland China...]
The announcement, like a cold tide, instantly drowned out the silence of the forest.
Ye Yao's movement of releasing Shadow Arrow froze instantly. She maintained her casting posture, like a frozen shadow statue. Only in her deep eyes, the pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints in an instant, clearly reflecting her own "level 8" experience bar.
She then stood quietly in place, the carcasses of the cheetahs still lingering around her. Unlike Li Yan, she didn't lose her composure, nor did she gasp like the others. It was only at this moment that the long-maintained, meticulously planned rhythm of advancement and calm demeanor were abruptly ripped open by these three grand pronouncements.
An unprecedented, heavy pressure, like a cold shadow, quietly enveloped her heart. She remained silent, like the deepest still pool in the forest, though beneath the surface, turbulent currents surged. The gap was far greater than she had anticipated, and it presented itself in an overwhelming manner.
Beginner Village #888, on the edge of the putrid swamp.
"Die, you son of a bitch!" Chen Shan roared, slamming his staff down with a powerful shockwave that slammed into the tough leather armor of an 8th-level elite [Swamp Crocodile], creating a spray of mud. The crocodile writhed in pain, splashing Chen Shan with foul-smelling mud.
"Damn, that's thick-skinned!" Chen Shan wiped the mud off his face, cursing under his breath. Seeing the giant crocodile's health bar nearly depleted, a sinister grin spread across his face as he prepared to unleash his final blow.
[Announcement from Mainland China...]
The three announcements sounded like thunderclaps.
"Damn it!!!" All of Chen Shan's pent-up frustration, resentment, and jealousy erupted at this moment! He let out a beast-like roar, his eyes instantly becoming bloodshot. No longer caring about the wounded swamp crocodile, he suddenly raised his foot and, with all his might, kicked a rotting tree root about half a person's height next to him!
boom!
The tree roots were shattered into pieces by his violent force, sending splinters of wood and rotten mud flying everywhere! The swamp crocodile, which had just struggled to its feet, was caught in the sudden shockwave and flying debris. It let out a mournful cry, its already depleted health bar was completely emptied, and it disappeared in a flash of white light, leaving behind only a small puddle of mud and a few copper coins.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Chen Shan gasped for breath, his chest heaving violently, like a completely enraged bull, pacing wildly in circles, stomping hard on the mud beneath his feet. "It's him again! It's that bastard again! Repairing the teleportation array?! I'm still struggling with the crocodiles in this mud! Why?! Why is he so fast?!" He suddenly looked up, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the sky, as if trying to pierce through that invisible barrier and drag out that nameless bastard.
"Damn system! Is there some kind of shady deal going on?! I won't accept this!" he roared, his voice echoing over the stinking swamp.
His roar, filled with crushed rage and a near-mad impatience, sounded particularly jarring in this muddy place.
......
Newbie Village No. 10086, Altar Center.
Lin Tian ignored the exclamations and frenzied discussions of the players surging in behind him like a tsunami.
The main city! A wider world!
He took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, his eyes regaining their sharpness and determination. Without pausing, he stepped forward and entered the slowly rotating, deep silver portal before him, as profound as the cosmic starry sky!
hum!
A dazzling silver-white light instantly engulfed him. On the altar, the towering pillar of light slowly subsided and calmed down. Only a teleportation array emitting stable spatial fluctuations remained, along with countless people around the altar craning their necks, their faces filled with shock, fervor, and complex emotions.
