Capítulo 626: Chapter 544: Network
“Non-human players…”
Gray Rain leaned over with a small head, looking at the heated discussion on the screen, and said sowhat puzzled, “Speaking of which, I really haven’t seen many non-human players in the slum.”
“That’s normal.”
Li Cheng said casually, “Theoretically, player qualifications can be transferred through hunting and plundering. Historically, there was indeed a case where a Level 1 newcor from Australia passed the guild assessnt, went clubbing with companions, got drunk on the way ho, stepped on a deadly jellyfish on the beach, and died instantly.
There are also cases of being trampled by elephants or chewed by hyenas.
But, well… Animal players produced in this way are quickly eliminated by the local guild.”
“Why?” Gray Rain asked out of curiosity, “To reclaim player qualifications?”
“Player qualifications are precious, that’s one aspect. Another is… to eliminate anomalies.”
Li Cheng shrugged and said casually, “Major guilds can accept hiring script world bosses as consultants and can accept guild mbers transforming themselves into werewolves, dragons, elves, and other non-human races,
or even accept ordinary guild executives transforming themselves into transcendent beings for prolonged life.
But they cannot accept the existence of animal players.”
“I see…”
Gray Rain nodded, half-understanding. Top transcendents are almost like deities, and no force would accept animals like felines, canines, primates, or avians gaining player qualifications, awakening consciousness, hiding themselves, reaching Level 40, and considering themselves as racial representatives to negotiate with humans.
Even if there are altruistic liberals thinking that all beings are equal and animal players should have equal rights with humans (which many European and Arican guilds truly believe), they would be imdiately suppressed.
The forum was bustling, with all users discussing the version update and the large-scale event ntioned at the end of the update announcent, “Song of Kings.”
[Surfing the Mississippi]: I figured it out, the “Kings” in “Song of Kings” are the key points. It’s probably like a national fortune genre novel, summoning historical kings and emperors, with King Arthur battling Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Alexander facing Lincoln, and the winners rewriting national fate, increasing national mineral resources tenfold.
[Brother Xu’s District]: Sweating soybean. The poster should urgently download a tomato novel. The national fortune genre is here, why not suggest Kennedy versus Mr. Abe?
[GigaChad]: Speaking of which, Mr. Abe is already three years old this year, right? He should be starting preschool.
[Can string beans be cooked]: Mr. Abe in preschool will definitely be bullied by the five-year-old Jailhouse Overlord.
[Surfing the Mississippi]: Bullying? Mr. Abe will definitely overpower the Jailhouse Overlord.
[Gray Rain]: Haha, everyone has talked a lot, huh? I accidentally got involved in a killing field ti ripple earlier, just returned to the real world, and heard several major countries are offering high salaries to recruit Level 5 top transcendents to form their official guilds. Anyone want to submit a resu together?
[Brother Xu’s District]: Whoa, veteran! The younger ones bow to you.
With too few clues at hand, nothing effective could be discussed on the forum, soon turning the discussion direction to jokes and idle chatter.
Li Cheng scratched his head and closed the forum webpage.
He had no particular thoughts about the so-called Song of Kings; his toy factory was operating well, and his magic cannon master’s cultivation had not hit any bottlenecks, with no need to seek opportunities to get stronger like ordinary players.
As for whether the large-scale event would affect the real world…
Even if the sky fell, the top Level 40 powerhouses like Michael, the Side of Truth, could catch it tightly, like a caregiver in a nursing ho catching poop.
He just needed to complete his tasks step by step.
“Forum chat is really fun.”
Gray Rain raised its head from the laptop screen and noticed Li Cheng’s subtle expression, “What’s up?”
“A task has co.”
Li Cheng rubbed his forehead, as it’s taboo to ntion certain things, like saying “sinking” on ocean-going vessels or “finally can relax after work” in hospital ergency departnts. The player community also had superstitions, trying to avoid ntioning task intervals whenever possible.
What you don’t want cos; right before his eyes, the system notification appeared.
[Task trigger conditions t]

[Task Na: Cyberwarrior]
[Task Objective: In 3 hours, hold an eight-category ten-gigabit network cable and wait for teleportation]
[Task Reward: To be announced upon receiving the next task instruction]
[Failure Penalty: Forced participation in the Song of Kings event]
This…
Li Cheng raised an eyebrow; this task was rather strange. Regular tasks usually occur in the real world or specific killing fields,
with his current strength, without intervention by higher-level transcendents, three consecutive light-speed elbow strikes could indeed flatten a small to dium-sized city. The real world couldn’t withstand such intense battles.
Moreover, the failure penalty was peculiar; instead of being wiped out or demoted, it was forcing participation in the Song of Kings.
Could it be… this event is voluntary registration? Only for those above Level 30 with ultra-high mortality?
No ti for deep thoughts, Li Cheng called Gray Rain and quickly prepared.

After preparations, Li Cheng did not return to the real world but casually found a high-end internet café in the slum. Inside, he unplugged a computer’s network cable and held it.
(Regular tasks might affect the real world. It wouldn’t be good if his house blew up, whereas an internet café explosion in the slum has insurance coverage.)
The three-hour countdown ended with no fluctuations. Upon reopening his eyes, he found himself in the bustling city streets.
Wait… isn’t this Yin City?
Li Cheng’s pupils constricted, seeing people bustling about, skyscrapers standing tall, clearly the Bund area of Yin City.
However, upon closer inspection, the architecture style differed slightly from the real world, people’s clothing was overly neat, and a few military armored vehicles parked on the street didn’t quite resemble armored vehicles.
The reason for saying this is because those armored vehicles had an extrely strong sense of cheapness, as if spray-painting gray car paint on an off-road car shell to masquerade as military vehicles.
Moreover, you should know that Li Cheng was now fully ard, holding an Ape-man Degeneration Gun in his left hand, clutching the Eight Diagram Alchemy Demon Cannon in his right, also wearing a yellow sealed hazmat suit, considering the potential use of the Disease Unclean Book.
In such an odd outfit, none of the bustling pedestrians on the road cast him any peculiar looks, passing him by as if unseen.
“…”
Li Cheng silently released a reconnaissance drone, then released Gray Rain from the electronic pet egg, who jumped at the surrounding environnt, “Whoa, isn’t this Yin City?”
“It’s not Yin City.”
Li Cheng’s expression seed to wear a mask of pain. He pointed at the remote control displaying the footage from the drone, clearly seeing a large cannon-shaped shadow at the bottom of the Huangpu River.
“We are currently in a classic sci-fi movie that was released in August 2019, rated 2.9 on Douban, with a production cost of 360 million and a box office of 120 million, bridging the opening of a door for Chinese sci-fi after ‘The Wandering Earth’—
Shanghai Fortress.”
