Apocalypse: Everyone Levels Up, I Return to the Time Before the Server Opened - Chapter 11

Chapter 11: You Can Bring Real Items Into the Game?

The time ratio between reality and the game was 1:10.

Ye Qiu logged out for half an hour. He confirmed that he was the only one who had obtained game data in reality ahead of time.

“Why is this happening?” Ye Qiu casually crushed a macadamia nut.

He popped the kernel into his mouth, chewing on it. He really couldn’t figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

Rather than wasting time pondering, it was better to seize every second and become stronger!

Ten days in reality, a hundred days in the game. Then the apocalypse would arrive!

At that moment, the Earth would rapidly expand. This was due to the fusion of the Trial City with Earth. The Trial City was simply too massive!

It was the size of dozens of Earths!

After the fusion, due to Earth’s expansion, all existing buildings, roads, rivers, and seas would be shattered!

All of human civilization would be destroyed!

In the end, people would have to follow the rules of the Trial City!

“Right!” Ye Qiu suddenly thought of something.

He quickly opened his inventory.

Sure enough, the game inventory was accessible! The items inside could be taken out freely!

Ye Qiu grabbed his phone, remote control, dried fruit, keychain…

In short, everything he could reach. He stuffed them all into his game inventory!

Then, he logged back in.

He entered the game!

“Holy shit!!!”

As soon as he entered the game, Ye Qiu immediately checked his inventory and was shocked to discover that the items he had stored from the real world had actually been transferred into the game!

This was something that had never happened in his previous life!

And it shouldn’t have been possible!

Ye Qiu’s breathing quickened. A bold idea emerged in his mind!

Since Ye Qiu had stayed in reality for half an hour, that meant about five hours had passed in the game.

The sky had dimmed slightly.

At night, monsters could be hunted and unique nocturnal creatures would appear!

Of course, the difficulty would increase significantly!

It would be much harder than during the day!

Ye Qiu wasted no time.

He first ran to an herb-gathering area. There weren’t many players around since the server had just launched.

Even though nearly a full day had passed, very few players had been able to accept gathering quests or learn Gathering.

The herb-gathering quest went smoothly. The Breathroot in this area was a common medicinal herb.

In no time at all, Ye Qiu collected ten stalks of Breathroot and completed the quest.

“Next, I need to complete the village chief’s quest to collect twenty tiger whips, as well as the blacksmith Zhang Tie’s lost ‘Mysterious Iron’ quest. Especially the latter since that’s a rare quest!” Relying on his past life’s memories, Ye Qiu headed toward the area where tiger monsters gathered.

Upon arrival, he saw at least hundreds of players gathered together and fighting against a group of tiger monsters!

The battle was intense! Roars and screams echoed nonstop! The scene was brutal!

It was extremely bloody!

“Heavenly Eye!” Ye Qiu scanned the tiger monsters as well as the players leading the fight.

……

“Thousand Faces Gentleman?” Ye Qiu focused on a young man wearing a light blue mage robe.

The name seemed familiar.

Oh. He remembered!

One of the legendary “Mage Gods” from his past life!

He had once single-handedly taken on three level 50 epic bosses and fought relentlessly for seven days and seven nights until he finally fell!

Ye Qiu had great admiration for such people.

Even though his past life had been filled with darkness and human cruelty, there were still moments of heroism and glory!

Many human heroes had emerged!

And Thousand Faces Gentleman was definitely one of them!

“Sigh… what a loss!” Thousand Faces Gentleman looked at the battlefield littered with corpses.

Player bodies were piled up, but only three Green-Eyed Tigers had been killed.

The gap was too large!

“Forget it, let’s not waste any more money.” The player named “Adorable Sunny Moon” was a girl, familiar with Thousand Faces Gentleman, and tried to persuade him.

These hundreds of players had all been recruited through a forum post by Thousand Faces Gentleman. Each person earned 100 credits per hour.

For every death, they received an extra 100 credits.

As for equipment, that was calculated separately. The costs would be split among all participants. The recruitment goal was to have them attack the Green-Eyed Tigers.

Once the monsters were low on health, Thousand Faces Gentleman would land the final hit.

Thanks to this strategy, his level had already reached 4 and he had several blue-quality pieces of gear!

Money, no matter when or where, was always powerful!

“Is it really a waste of money?” Thousand Faces Gentleman shook his head and said, “When the countdown in our minds reached zero, and when everyone saw this game appear, every investment made in this game became worth it!”

Adorable Sunny Moon sighed helplessly. “Aside from being a virtual game, I don’t see how this is any different from the other MMOs you play.”

Thousand Faces Gentleman chuckled. “The difference is huge! At the very least, with current human technology, even in another fifty years, we wouldn’t be able to create a virtual game with this level of realism!

“Plus, this game has been implanted in the minds of everyone worldwide, even newborn babies. That alone makes it unbeatable!

“That’s why smart people have already seized the opportunity. Not just me, other wealthy individuals are also exploring the game’s potential and business opportunities!”

Thousand Faces Gentleman never denied that he was rich.

In other MMOs, he was often called the “Ultimate Big Spender” because he threw money around recklessly in games.

Sometimes, just out of spite, he would spend several times the normal price to buy something completely useless!

“Alright, I don’t really understand this stuff. But since you’re determined, I’ll support you!” Adorable Sunny Moon smiled sweetly.

Thousand Faces Gentleman also smiled and was about to reply.

Suddenly…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground trembled violently.

In an instant, every player in the area froze. In their eyes, a colossal figure was reflected!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

A massive creature was stomping toward them with terrifying speed!

“Shit! Run!” A player immediately reacted.

Backing away quickly, Thousand Faces Gentleman’s face turned pale.

He hurriedly called for everyone to retreat!

Some players tried logging out, hoping to escape the imminent danger. But the game’s rules did not allow it.

Once the system deemed a player to be in combat, logging out wouldn’t make their character disappear.

Instead, they would just stand there!

And after dying, both experience and equipment would drop at double the normal rate!

“Shit! It’s actually…!” Ye Qiu also saw the massive creature.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he turned around ready to flee!
