Chapter 214: Chapter 211 Deduction Warning

Discussing the rules of the Doomsday Game was still more hopeful with Jiu San.

"Yo, what brings you here today?" Jiu San asked Mu Ying curiously as he entered.

Mu Ying dragged a chair over and sat in front of the counter, "I need to ask you something."

On hearing this, Jiu San was terrified, covered his mouth, and mumbled a refusal while shaking his head.

He was worried about losing all the money he had earned through his blabbering, ending up with more expenses than income!

"Don’t worry, you won’t be fined," reassured Mu Ying, "you don’t have to speak, just nod or shake your head; I’ll even cut your taxes for a quarter."

Jiu San loosened his hand from his mouth, enticed by the possibility of earning money without speaking?

"When you came from Spirit Dragon Gorge to Qingshan Town, were you restricted by an agreement in terms of route and timing?"

Jiu San nodded, this question was safe, no fines, "Exactly! Not only did I have to arrive within three days, but I also couldn’t initiate any attack, or else I’d be wiped out!"

"What level are you? "

"Level 4, a level 4 Bard. I used to travel between cities in my earlier years, but I lacked Talent; my singing wasn’t up to par, no one listened to my stories, and I was poor too. Compared to that, I prefer making money safely," Jiu San became animated as he spoke.

It seemed Mu Ying didn’t want to ask anything about the Evolution Center, good, good.

Mu Ying calculated, she had been level 4 at that time too, the highest among the players; it wasn’t strange for Jiu San to be restricted.

Seeing Jiu San getting into the conversation, Mu Ying knew the time was right, "If you had been level 5 or 6 back then, you probably wouldn’t have been able to move here, right?"

"That’s not necessarily true; they could have just suppressed me a bit..." Jiu San covered his mouth.

[You are suspected of violating the confidentiality agreement of the Multiverse Evolution Center in relation to the Original World developments. Please do not disclose evolution rules to the Original World players during the protective period; penalty for repeated offense includes partial forfeiture of shop profits].

"There are replicas like Ghoul Replica, Mushroom Man Replica, Half-Breed Replica—does that mean humans have also migrated here, maybe there’s a human replica? Or are there humans who roam outside using a Monster approach instead of running a shop within a territory like you?"

Jiu San shook his head; he dared not speak, already warned about the fines.

"Not like that? Then how is it that outsiders are wounded in the wilderness and even gave away a Trial Taker Wooden Token?" Mu Ying rubbed his chin, feigning confusion.

"Trial Taker Wooden Token? That must be someone high-level, or an actual trialist; only they have the right to recommend. It’s not yet time for local production of wooden tokens here!"

[You have violated the Multiverse Evolution Center confidentiality agreement regarding the development of the Original World. Since this is not a severe case, the profits from your shop from the last quarter will be deducted].

"Save me, I’m losing money again!!!" Jiu San cried.

"It’s been nice chatting with you, and your rent for this quarter is on me," Mu Ying said, pleased with the information and the unexpected gains, bidding farewell cheerfully.

Jiu San covered his face, crying, but as soon as he sneakily peered through his fingers and saw Mu Ying was gone, he immediately stopped the fake crying, excitedly clacking his abacus, "Hehe, there’s money to be made, not a loss at all! Just worried if I challenge the Evolution Center too much, they might come and shut me up for good!"

Mu Ying, having left Copper Coin Hotel, continued pondering this news.

It seemed that outsiders beyond the territory could leave as long as their level was lower than that of the players on this side, and even those with higher levels could go out after being suppressed and facing some restrictions.

Therefore, there might also be NPCs in the wilderness.

However, the wilderness which was dangerous for players was equally perilous for them, so there were few such people.

This gave Mu Ying a feeling that the territory and instances were quite similar in that both could restrict the entry and exit of external beings.

Overall, the Doomsday Game still tended to protect local players.

Moreover, the matter of the trialists might not be a secret outside, the numbers might not be large, but they weren’t hidden either.

According to Jiu San, those who could produce a Trial Taker Wooden Token were either powerful individuals themselves or were trialists. At some point, they might introduce someone into becoming a new trialist. It’s unclear which category Grandpa Shom fell into.

Furthermore, his last statement, "It’s not yet time for this place to produce trial taker wooden tokens," could mean that the world itself also had a quota of trialists.

The essence of universes was controlled by the Ten Thousand Worlds Trial, integrated into the virtual trial worlds, with trialists from various universes training and drawing from the trial world; thus, the more trialists a planet or universe had, the more advantageous it was.

Thinking about it this way, it was normal for each world to have a basic quota, but for someone like her, it was unclear whether she was part of an extra quota or included in the basic quota. When would the trial taker wooden tokens of this world begin to be produced?

However, Mu Ying confirmed one thing: at this stage, the Doomsday Game’s protective measures still leaned towards local players. It wasn’t because the local players were more valuable but likely because they were vulnerable. Without protection, it would not be called evolution but extermination.

As the cultivation of professions on the players’ side gradually progressed to an advanced stage and their overall strength began to improve, the game’s protection would definitely not exist forever; it would eventually disappear one day.

The future might still hold great changes, and they should not grow complacent due to the currently stable situation. If they couldn’t keep up with the pace of evolution, they could potentially become failures in evolution, and even surviving might be in question.

"I need to intensify my cultivation, all aspects of my abilities, I need to solidify them," Mu Ying felt a renewed sense of urgency.

There was no rush to increase the level, but mastering the spells and skills currently available at level 6, learning them thoroughly, and integrating them was even more important. She still had some level 3 spells she hadn’t learned yet.

The affairs of the territory could not be neglected either. If they encountered enemies in the future that were hard to resist, the territory would be her protective umbrella. As long as there was money, they could invest in the Territory Shield, and its protection level would increase rapidly.

However, with each level increase, the appetite of this gold-eating monster, the Territory Shield, grew bigger.

Mu Ying was very conscious of maintaining a balance between the income and expenditure of the territory.

Therefore, the more money saved, the longer the Territory Shield could last in the future.

Mu Ying instantly wished she could create several avatars to help her out.

Although she had delegated the main administrative work of the territory, the expansion of the territory and resource search still had to be done by herself. Besides her, no one else could search for the seabed mineral veins.

She needed talent! If only she had a level 5 druid right now, oh no, even a level 4 who had learned the Magic Water Breathing would do, then she could delegate the task of seabed prospecting to them.

Unfortunately, talent was something you stumbled upon rather than sought out.

Mu Ying was somewhat eager for the arrival of other trialists; perhaps some of them randomly received a trial character with special bloodlines like hers, which could be transformed for unique uses.

"Why can’t people in the trial world be directly transformed? If that were possible, I would want to transform Windsor to help me locate the minerals!"
