As the ti approached zero o’clock, everyone in the Mist World was waiting; so even knelt on the ground murmuring prayers to heaven.
And so were smug, people like General Shakun. Most of these people had their own forces, so were gang bosses, so were heads of large families with many subordinates.
Anyway, these people had used their ans to obtain enough resources.
They were all waiting for the ranking announcent at midnight.
Everyone thought it would be them.
Those with many resources believed they would surely be first.
Those with few resources, those doing ordinary or poor, thought they would be eliminated.
Throughout the Mist World, only one person was an exception.
That person was Ethan. After taking a fragrant shower, he lay directly on the soft bed and fell fast asleep, and in his arms was a soft little kitten.
After being altered by the Basic Evolution Pill, Daji had grown to about one ter fifty.
And every part of her body was otherwise no different from a normal person.
Except for a pair of cute little ears, and a fluffy little tail at her back.
Perhaps because she was being held by her owner and sleeping too comfortably, Little Daji slept extrely sweetly, even showing cute little fangs, occasionally grinding her teeth, rubbing against her owner, curling into his embrace, and sleeping even more deeply.
She had no idea at all that a world-shaking event was about to occur outside.
“Dong!”
The bell at midnight rang.
Yes, it was that eerie bell from the depths of the mist.
As if in the fog’s depths, in a huge bell tower, a giant held a bell hamr and struck the first chi.
Everyone in the Mist World, at this mont, all felt their hearts tighten, as if the bell struck their chests.
But Ethan only wrinkled his brow in sleep, feeling soone had disturbed his rest, which displeased him.
He turned over, covered his ears with a pillow, and went back to sleep.

[World Chat Channel]
[“Zero o’clock!”]
[“Quick, check the pinned announcent update!”]
[“Oh my god! Please, please don’t let be number 101. I must be within the top 100!”]
[“Please, Buddha, Guanyin, Taishang Laojun, Jade Emperor, God, Jesus, Virgin Mary, bless !”]
[“Bro above, you recited so many nas, aren’t you out of breath?”]
[“General Shakun, world number one!”]
[“My Yamaguchi-gumi is the world’s number one!!”]
[“My Sky-Blasting Gang is the universe’s number one, everyone else get lost!”]
[“Everyone look, the draw is out!”]
Soone yelled.
The scrolling screen that had been moving like an airport announcent suddenly froze.
Everyone stared intently at the pinned announcent, afraid to miss anything…
[Hello everyone, have you been waiting long?]
[We will now start announcing player rankings for each numbered zone, beginning from number 100. If we announce all the way to number one and your na hasn’t appeared…]
The pinned announcent paused.
That two-second pause made everyone swallow hard.
They all focused on the pinned announcent, with attention comparable to the mont university grades are released.
[Then congratulations to you.]
[You will have two choices.]
[First choice, forever leave suffering. (Direct eradication, consciousness dissipates; without consciousness there is no suffering, aning leaving suffering behind)]
[Second choice, you will gain the opportunity to beco attached to a district lord, but your independent consciousness will be blocked, becoming a tool under the lord’s command.] [T/N: Perfect!]
[Of course, you do not have to decide imdiately. rciful will give you so ti to consider. The consideration period is limited to ten minutes. If you cannot decide, I will choose for you.]
[NOW BEGIN ANNOUNCING THE RANKINGS!]
Countless nas flashed across the announcent.
Each district only announced its own rankings; other districts did not interfere.
At the mont one’s own ranking appeared, a golden na would appear so the person could quickly identify it.
Most players quietly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their nas.
After all, whether first or hundredth, at least they still had the right to live.
If you were not a big shot, you naturally would not think of fighting for first place.
When the ranking reached near the top ten, many players began to despair, because they knew clearly they could not possibly break into the top ten with their strength.
If they still had not seen their na, that ant, they very likely had already been eliminated.
[“I don’t want to die!”]
[“Why is this happening, impossible, how could I be ranked after 100! I worked so hard!”]
[“Why, why won’t you give a chance to live!!”]
[“There are still top ten to be announced, don’t worry yet!”]
[“Don’t comfort , I know it’s impossible…”]
[“If anyone can return to the real world, please call 138xxxxxxxxx and tell my mother. Her son was unfilial and couldn’t return to accompany her! I thank you here, good people will be rewarded!”]
[“Please soone help deliver a ssage! My ho address is No. 25 South Street, Apt 504. Tell my family! Thanks!”]
[“…”]
Desperate ssages appeared in the regional channels.
But more people stared at the top ten rankings, especially those slightly strong big shots!
[A7, Rank 1: Ethan]
[“Ethan?”]
[“Who is this big shot, make a sound!”]
[“I think I know who he is, that heartless rchant who sells water, compasses, and dicines!”]
[“Yes yes yes, I rember, his na is Ethan!”]
[“No wonder that big shot had so many treasures for sale, turns out he’s the district number one.”]
[“Maybe he’s cheating, why the hell is he so aweso while everyone else is just human!”]
[“Bro above, you’re just jealous!”]
[“Lemon tree has lemons, under the lemon tree you and I, lemons always surround ~”]
When the first place was announced, the entire district channel exploded, everyone began discussing Ethan.
But at that mont, the pinned announcent refreshed again.
[To the lucky ones beyond the top one hundred, it’s ti to make your decision. Countdown 09:59]
[Before you make your decision, we will continue to announce the top three of each major lettered district.]
[And players ranked beyond 100 in their district will be given one final choice.]
[First choice, eradication.]
[Second choice, beco a subject under a lord.]
