"Did the official account get hacked?"
"What is this announcement?"
"We have to log into a game called Calamity Realm? And there's a nationwide holiday tomorrow?"
Li Yin was leaning against the headboard, scrolling through short videos when the content was suddenly overridden.
It was an announcement, instructing everyone to log into a game called Calamity Realm at midnight.
At first, he ignored it, wondering which game dared to promote itself with an official tone.
But as he scrolled further, it was the same video.
And that's when he noticed that the bottom left corner of the video wasn't some promotional account, but the official account!
Mouth agape, Li Yin was a bit stunned, and the comment section was buzzing.
"I was about to give a little red flower, but what's going on? It's not just on my phone, it's interrupting the TV too!"
"What on earth is happening? This doesn't seem like the official style!"
"And even if it's a promotion, shouldn't there be some advance notice? The announcement says the server opens at midnight, isn't this too rushed?"
Li Yin glanced at the time on his phone; it was 11:55, just a few minutes until midnight.
This wasn't just rushed; it was clearly some urgent situation, otherwise, the officials wouldn't act this way!
Of course, there was also the possibility that the official account was hacked.
But that seemed highly unlikely.
"Right, is there enough time to download it?"
As he was thinking this, he suddenly noticed a new app on his phone.
Calamity Realm!
"When did this game appear on my phone?"
Almost instinctively, Li Yin was taken aback.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and as Li Yin frowned, the previously gray icon of Calamity Realm on his phone filled with color.
"What is this?"
"The server's live!"
Without any hesitation, seeing the app light up, Li Yin clicked decisively!
No matter what the game was about, getting in first was never a bad idea!
"What happened! Didn't I just click on the Calamity Realm game? Why am I inside it?"
"Damn! This breeze, and this clear scent! I've definitely crossed over! Wait, how did you guys end up here too?"
"What crossing over? Didn't you see the Personal Status Panel in front of you, you fucking idiot? This is a game!"
"A game?"
"How is it possible? What game could feel this real?"
As soon as he landed, Li Yin was surrounded by the noisy voices around him. He thought he was fast enough, but he was surprised to be surrounded by so many players right after entering.
Li Yin looked at the semi-transparent status panel floating in front of him.
Honestly, if it weren't for this panel, even he would have almost thought he had crossed over instead of entering a game.
"Oh my god, it really is a game!"
"Hey, why are my attribute points so low? Only 1 point in all attributes."
"What are you talking about, you prick? You just entered the game, how many attribute points do you expect?"
"But seriously, with this level of realism, this isn't a game, it's a second world!"
"Everyone listen to me, stop pushing, make some space."
"I'm a girl, please don't push, I'm about to get pregnant!"
Li Yin's mouth twitched at the wild words! But in just a moment, the number of people in the Novice Village kept increasing.
Without bothering to check his own panel, Li Yin quickly made his way out.
He didn't know how many feet he stepped on before finding an open space.
Opening the status panel, he looked at his personal attributes.
[Player: Li Yin (White).]
[Level: 1.]
[Experience: 0/100.]
[Health: 10.]
[Strength: 1.]
[Defense: 1.]
[Mental: 1.]
[Free Attribute Point: 1.]
Indeed, very low.
But looking at the free attribute point, after some thought, he added it to Strength.
Based on years of experience, attack is always the priority in any game.
Especially in the early stages, it can speed up leveling efficiency.
After adding the point, Li Yin felt a warm current sweep through his body, "This feeling."
"This isn't just adding points, it's like my strength genuinely increased!"
"Not only is the environment realistic, but even getting stronger feels this real?"
This sensation left Li Yin a bit amazed.
If he weren't still in the game, he might have thought he was truly getting stronger!
However, just as Li Yin thought this game was unusual, perhaps because he had just finished adding points, the game's quirks kicked in.
With a ding, a prismatic window flashed before his eyes!
[Random Free Attribute Point Gift Pack Special Offer!]
[The pack contains free attribute points: 1—999, randomly drawn!]
[Limited time one hour, price increase purchase! Original price 8888, now 9999!]
[Only 9999 to get a head start to the peak!]
Looking at the pop-up gift pack, Li Yin was momentarily stunned.
"Wait,"
"What the hell?"
"Special offer, price increase purchase?"
His face twitched, nearly choking.
No, something's off with the style here, this kind of realistic game, and you're pulling the online game tricks?
And...
Do they think money grows on trees?
Starting at 9999!
Sure, the random attribute points in the pack are tempting, but even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run.
If it's really the online game trick, there's no way you'd draw 999 attribute points, maybe not even 100.
"Damn it."
Li Yin was unsettled.
The feeling from adding points earlier made him think this game would be extraordinary.
However.
That was before! Now the style has completely changed! "Damn it, a pay-to-win game, what's the point!"
With that said.
"Pay-to-win?"
"Damn, buddy, you've reminded me!"
"Such a realistic game! If not now, then when!"
"Uh, where's the recharge window, where is it? I can't find it."
"Recharge? You're overthinking it!"
"Have you read online game novels? This type of game would never open a recharge window! Everyone starts on the same line!"
Here,
Hearing this, Li Yin: "?"
Watching these two play off each other, he was almost dumbfounded.
No!
With such a big gift pack popping up in front of you, you're telling me you can't find the recharge window?
Blind?
"Clicking the gift pack is the recharge window, isn't it?" Almost instinctively, Li Yin said.
However, the person next to him squinted: "Gift pack? What gift pack?"
"No gift pack here."
He searched his window for a long time, perhaps realizing, this person said unhappily: "Are you messing with me?"
"No gift pack?"
Li Yin looked at the prismatic gift pack in front of him, then at the person's genuine expression.
Wait,
Is this gift pack only available to me?
