GM Feng Mingge

In the Administrator Space. Yu Xian was surrounded by countless light screens, each displaying a player who had caught his interest. He had drastically reduced the Zhen Realm's difficulty. Players were no longer permitted to slaughter one another indiscriminately, allowing peace-loving players to take their time and safely grind all the way to max level. In reality, however, to make up for the lack of tempering this caused, he slashed the experience points awarded from monster farming and buffed many of the beasts. Some monsters were now completely impossible to defeat without sufficient numbers. Simply put, leveling had become much harder, and reaching Level 250 would require far more time. The only reason he had been able to reach Level 250 in a mere century was that he had monopolized every monster across the entire Baihe Continent. The instant a monster spawned, his summons would swiftly eliminate it. From the moment Yu Xian laid claim to the continent, not a single monster had survived longer than three seconds. Under the newly updated version Yu Xian had implemented, even if someone monopolized all the monsters on the continent, reaching max level would take at least ten thousand years. "Nora's class is War Armament Master. Looks like it follows the path of smelting. Above that is Magic Armament Grandmaster, and further advancement leads to Divine Armament Great Sage..." Watching Nora leave the novice town alongside the others, Yu Xian checked her stats on a whim. The class genuinely suited Nora well. It allowed her to train new abilities while keeping her original marksmanship as a trump card. With this class, Nora would surely make it all the way to the late game. Yu Xian did not interfere with anyone's class selection. After checking everyone's classes, with a single thought, he departed the Zhen Realm. In truth, there were four ways to leave the Zhen Realm, varying in difficulty. The simplest was the first method: dying your way out. Dying directly ejected a person from the Zhen Realm, returning them to their original world. However, while Transcendents at least retained their memories through this method, ordinary mortals lost every memory of their time in the Zhen Realm. As for any power or items acquired within the realm, naturally, all of it vanished. The second method was the one Feng Mingge had used. The Zhen Realm held a bewildering assortment of equipment and items—some ubiquitous, others extraordinarily rare. Among them was an item known as the [Logout Talisman]. It was exceedingly rare. Feng Mingge had used one to leave the Zhen Realm, which was why he could faintly sense its location and choose to log back into the game. However, Yu Xian had already wiped the data of all class-holders registered by Logout Talismans. Even if they returned, they would find themselves forced to level from scratch. The third method, of course, was to shatter the void. This was far, far more difficult than the first two, but it was the most orthodox way to depart the Zhen Realm. As long as a player reached Level 250 and shattered the void to leave, all the power, equipment, and items gained within the Zhen Realm became genuinely theirs to keep. The fourth method was Yu Xian's method: becoming an administrator. After acquiring administrator privileges over the Zhen Realm, Yu Xian could travel between realms at will and retain all his power without needing to shatter the void. If he wished, he could even acquire every single class in the entire Zhen Realm, becoming a powerhouse among Mighty Ones. ... ... Aboard the Aska. Yu Xian materialized in the cockpit in an instant. A terrifying aura erupted from him. Even though he deliberately tried to restrain it, all matter outside the Aska underwent a fundamental upheaval. Cold turned hot; the dead came back to life; what had shattered became whole once more, while what was whole shattered in turn. Yu Xian frowned slightly, quickly pulling his power back into his body. As expected, the Zhen Realm suppressed those who entered it—even Mighty Ones could only exert power at Cosmos Rank within its confines. That was why his strength had briefly surged out of control. It was like squatting while someone forcefully held down your arms, only for that downward force to suddenly disappear, sending you springing upward all at once. "Little Nora's streaming." Yu Xian swept his awareness across the entire Aska. Next, he looked outside the Aska. Merging the power of Chaotic All-Phenomena with his consciousness, he instantly perceived all information across countless worlds. Yet when his will touched the Fenglaixian Abyss, he frowned slightly once more. Assuming the baseline for a Mighty One was 1, his current strength was around 100, while Feng Laixian stood at 100,000,000,000,000. Though all were Mighty Ones, the gap between them could sometimes be wider than the gulf between a dog and a human. Fortunately, Yu Xian's power was unique enough. Even though he disliked the chaotic will infesting the Fenglaixian Abyss, he pushed through and swiftly located Feng Mingge. The moment he found Feng Mingge, he gained a rough sense of the man's strength. If Yu Xian was a hundred, Feng Mingge was around seventy. "I'm out!" Yu Xian sent a telepathic message to Feng Mingge before quickly withdrawing from the Fenglaixian Abyss. A second later, Feng Mingge appeared outside the Aska. Yu Xian gestured for Muse to open the hatch, and Feng Mingge strode calmly inside. "You've become a Mighty One?" Feng Mingge asked somewhat uncertainly upon seeing Yu Xian. Yu Xian smiled. "Yeah. It took some doing, but I finally beat the game." "How long did it take?" Feng Mingge asked curiously. Yu Xian smiled without speaking, holding up a single finger. "Ten thousand years? That's not bad," Feng Mingge guessed after looking at it. Yu Xian shook his head with a grin. "A little over a hundred years. What's more, I'm now the Zhen Realm's administrator!" "..." Feng Mingge fell silent. And he understood. This fellow hadn't called him over to share good news—he had called him over to gloat. The guy couldn't bear to keep his success hidden for even a single second. "Interested in becoming an administrator?" Yu Xian asked, looking at Feng Mingge. Feng Mingge turned to leave, not wanting to look at Yu Xian's smug face any longer. "There are perks! For every thousand years on duty, you get all the skills of a random max-level class," Yu Xian called out hastily, seeing that Feng Mingge was genuinely about to walk away. Yu Xian hadn't chosen Nora and the others because their strength was too low; such an overwhelming empowerment would only cause them to explode or lose their minds. Feng Mingge, on the other hand, was perfect. He was already a Mighty One, had more time on his hands than he knew what to do with, and had been wanting to cultivate other laws anyway. He was the ideal candidate to shanghai into doing the grunt work. Sure enough, the moment Yu Xian spoke those words, Feng Mingge froze in his tracks. Although Yu Xian framed it as obtaining a random max-level class, in reality, it was equivalent to acquiring a law. Feng Mingge turned back and said decisively, "Deal!" "Here's the Privilege-Hound GM Ring. Once you put it on, you can enter the Administrator Space anytime. All you need to do is check for bugs and host occasional events. Off you go." Yu Xian handed the ring to Feng Mingge and continued with his instructions. Feng Mingge took the ring and put it on. The next instant, he departed on the spot, unwilling to look at Yu Xian's face for another moment. After seeing Feng Mingge off, Yu Xian relaxed and whistled as he walked toward the room where Little Nora was streaming.
