My Disciples are Too Idiotic

As Zhao Ritian revealed some information about the Upper Realm, the mysteries surrounding it began to surface.

It was at this time that players received the latest prompt from the System.

Or rather, about the start of the Fifth Test!

"Game Version Update: Please log off and rest within Ten Minutes. Version 5.0: Mysterious Realm officially launches, with this update lasting twelve hours."

As this message appeared, everyone was stunned.

What's going on?

Is the Fifth Test starting just like that?

"How come it's so sudden? We haven't even found a way to change our race yet!"

"I've waited so long, and finally, the Fifth Test has arrived, right? The Mysterious Realm? It seems certain that we're heading to the Upper Realm."

"I don't care, I want to play as a member of the Demon Race. After the update, I must change races. I want to be a part of the Nine-Tailed Fox Race; their sisters are really pretty."

"You're really giving up on being human, huh? Brother, why not consider the Demon Race? Have you heard about the Succubus Race?"

"Stop blabbering here! Quickly log off and check the Official Website. There should be some information about the Fifth Test on there. Let's get a head start and find out more."

...

Following the System's prompt, players were rapidly logging off and heading to the Official Website.

Ten Minutes?

Come on, with the Fifth Test arriving, who needs Ten Minutes to log off?

In an instant, with the launch of the game's new version, not only Veteran Players but also a large number of New Players rushed to the Official Website. This time, however, the previous system of invitation quotas wasn't in place. In the past, these quotas had at least ensured all Veteran Players were eligible for an invitation. Consequently, as numerous players flooded the Official Website, they also started flocking to the forums to ask about the invitation quota situation.

It was well known that the previous two rounds of invitation quotas had allowed many people to profit. Even during the Fourth Test, some had sold their invitation quotas for hundreds of thousands. And even then, demand exceeded supply.

Why?

Because the earnings from this game far surpassed those of regular games. As long as you had enough Contribution Points, you could conduct private transactions with them, meaning Contribution Points were essentially RMB. Since Contribution Points were hard currency, earning enough could completely cover the cost of the quota!

Now, with the Fifth Test launching, various studios were competing for Internal Testing spots and had also made high offers to some Veteran Players, hoping to buy extra quotas from them.

But unfortunately, it seemed no extra quotas were appearing this time. Even the Veteran Players themselves hadn't received a single one.

「Inside the forums.」

Originally, posts seeking quotas were the most numerous, but they were quickly drowned out by news of the Fifth Test. Even many Veteran Players started speculating about the Fifth Test on the forums.

"Fifth Test Secrets: Professional Speculation by a First Test Player!"

This post was pinned right at the top. The Official Website hadn't officially revealed the content of the Fifth Test, so most people were speculating on the forums.

The post was written by the Top Archer in the National Server. His name was already famous among players, as he had pioneered the Brothel Stream of gameplay. While others entered the game to fight monsters, level up, or engage in Earning Contribution Points for trading, the Top Archer in the National Server took a different path; his gameplay was so audacious it was almost like he was there to commit crimes. He had visited every major Brothel in the game, eventually 'favoring' even demonesses (associated with the Nine-Tailed Fox Race) and succubi (from the Succubus Race). In terms of fame, his reputation easily rivaled that of players on the Combat Power List.

"Based on my recent investigations, I speculate that after the Fifth Test begins, it's highly probable we will ascend to the Upper Realm. That will introduce an entirely new, large Map. I believe Veteran Players have also received the prompt that the Fifth Test's version is named Mysterious Realm.

This makes it quite certain where we'll be heading after the Fifth Test launches. Of course, as of now, there's still too little information about the Upper Realm; even the game itself hasn't divulged much.

However, I've made a bold guess regarding that NPC from the Upper Realm, Zhao Ritian.

He is imprisoned and also has a grudge against a Female NPC named Sun Yaoci. He even publicly announced Sun Yaoci's betrayal, which caused problems among the Major Races of the Upper Realm.

This implies that unknown dangers exist in the Upper Realm, possibly related to the Dungeon that Old Mo and his group visited before.

I even suspect that the monsters inside that Dungeon might come from the Upper Realm. If my speculation is correct, then the Upper Realm is probably far more terrifying than we imagine.

Those who have read novels should know that ascending to the Upper Realm normally means arriving in the Immortal Realm. There, one would cultivate step by step to become an Immortal Emperor or the like. But we all know this, so how could the Game Designer not be aware too?

Given the Damn Game Designer's nature, I think they will do the exact opposite. The Upper Realm won't be a paradise of singing birds and fragrant flowers; instead, it will feature a dark and dramatic storyline.

Of course, all of this is my speculation; we'll have to see the official announcement from the Official Website for specifics."

As this post appeared, both New Players and Veteran Players alike quickly started leaving comments.

This post surged to a pinned position at the top in a very short amount of time.

While everyone was still replying to the post, the Official Website officially released details about the Fifth Test.

"5.0 Mysterious Realm Version Preview: The Spirit Crystals gameplay, launched during the Fourth Test, did not meet the Game Designer's expectations and has therefore been canceled. Additionally, the game is reverting to the method of using Contribution Points to boost one's Realm.

The Fifth Test Version includes many special environments, so some countermeasures will be implemented. When significant changes in a player's heart rate are detected, a protective mode will be initiated."
