147: Drag the whole world into the water!

Previously, in the Kyoto regional level ranking, two Jiao Zhengqings with the same name simultaneously made it onto the chart, which had already been noticed by some observant Kyoto players.

Now, on the World level ranking, which has even more followers, and at such a high position, it instantly sparked heated discussion on the World channel—

“Holy crap??? Everyone, quickly look at the World level ranking! A big shot has directly rushed to 3rd place on the level ranking!”

“My goodness, he only leveled up this late? That guy must have been through withdrawal? He managed to resist absorbing Crystal Nucleus this whole time and only absorbed them now!”

“I bet he was definitely saving up Crystal Nucleus to buy auxiliary potions! And auxiliary potions require 10 Level 10 Crystal Nucleus, so he probably bought them from a big shot who exchanges Crystal Nucleus in the Trade Market!”

“So, that big shot really has Level 10 Crystal Nucleus? He has enough for himself and still has plenty to sell in large quantities??? That big shot must have raided a Level 10 monster's lair!!”

“My goodness! That unscrupulous merchant in the Trade Market, he priced Level 10 Crystal Nucleus so ridiculously high, and someone actually bought them??? Are they crazy?!!”

“The person upstairs is clearly an ordinary player; they can't understand the mindset of a strong person who always strives to be first! Don't you understand? As time goes on, the gap between ordinary players and high-end players will only widen!”

“I agree!! The gap between players really will get bigger and bigger! I myself am an A-Level Talent user with practical combat skills, and I'm quite strong, but I've never made it onto the World chart once! In contrast, Lightning, who is also an A-Level Talent user on the level ranking, made it onto the World chart early on. First step, first in every step! Even though we both have A-Level Talent, Lightning has already joined the ranks of world-class strong people, even qualified to discuss heroes over wine with S-Class Talent users, while I'm still accomplishing nothing, unable to even take down a vending machine in a small city!”

“The person upstairs hit the nail on the head! The various rewards from the World chart already give those players a constant lead! And the pressure of the World chart also makes them more diligent than ordinary players! However, regarding Lightning, who was mentioned upstairs, as far as I know, he couldn't make it in Kyoto anymore and ran off to a small city to seize vending machines!”

“Actually, his approach isn't wrong. Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix; a wise move!”

“No, am I the only one who noticed that both the 3rd and 11th places on the level ranking are named Jiao Zhengqing???”

“There are plenty of people with the same name. I even have a Lin Chuan in my team! That guy is especially lucky; just because of a name, he's our team's mascot -_-||”

“Yes, the Killing Game doesn't differentiate between people with the same name! Two people with the same name making it onto the chart together, while the probability is quite low, isn't impossible!”

“??? Am I the only one who thinks that those two Jiao Zhengqings might very likely be from two different worlds?!!!”

“You're not alone, person upstairs! I think so too! What a coincidence, two people with the same name just happen to be in the top ranks of the level ranking! And wasn't that God Punisher, Yin Xi, also from a Foreign World? I suspect our world has long been invaded by the Foreign World! Your friends around you might very well be people from the Foreign World!”

“I agree! Our world definitely has many people from the Foreign World! That God Punisher, Yin Xi, was only exposed because of a Gods Punishment Task! We have no idea about the many other Foreign World invaders who haven't been exposed yet!”

“My goodness? That's terrifying? So, among the two Jiao Zhengqings, one is from the Foreign World? Do they look exactly alike? What would their relationship be? Would they cooperate and encourage each other, or would it be a case of 'two tigers cannot share one mountain,' fighting to the death??”

“I feel it's 'two tigers cannot share one mountain'!”

In the chat channel, various conspiracy theories about Foreign World invasion circulated.

Various major powers also held in-depth meetings because of this matter.

And when Zhou Yi saw the messages in the chat channel, his face instantly turned pale!

It was only then that he realized that the "boss" who didn't have a level ranking above his head was not his boss at all!

And he had given the Crystal Nucleus that his boss had given him to a fake Jiao Zhengqing!

Such a large sum of Crystal Nucleus!

Zhou Yi panicked, and immediately sent Jiao Zhengqing a message, confessing and reflecting.

Jiao Zhengqing, of course, did not blame him.

He just told him not to overthink it, and that he would get the lost Crystal Nucleus back.

In fact, Jiao Zhengqing, who was currently in Sakura Country, was still a bit nervous about killing his other self.

When he learned from Lin Chuan in the Evil Dragon and Warrior Secret Realm that he had to kill his other self, his heart was deeply shaken!

And now, that moment was finally approaching—

He was about to meet his other self.

And, engage in a fight to the death...

This feeling was very complex.

At this time, in Sakura Country, almost most of the areas had completely become the domain of Bloodthirsty Vine.

Terao led the World Boss raid team, retreating again and again, from bustling metropolises all the way to remote countryside!

In fact, Terao utilized the mighty power of his Destiny talent, uniting Talent users of various elements like earth, wood, metal, and stone, to quickly build a Steel Fortress!

The members of the raid team were previously invincible strong people.

However, at this moment, they could only cower inside the Steel Fortress, completely helpless against the overwhelming Bloodthirsty Vine!

The team, consisting of several hundred people, had Terao's subordinates making up the majority, with only over sixty strong people from outside.

These people regretted it; their trip to raid the World Boss was thankless and futile!

Not only did they get nothing, but many also lost the lives of their brothers!

If Terao hadn't been so dominant, many people here would have wanted to leave directly!

A cold conference room completely surrounded by copper walls and iron barriers.

Terao sat in the main seat, looking at everyone present with a grim expression.

“The Bloodthirsty Vine's reproduction and evolution speed is simply too fast! When they first appeared, they could still be cut by swords and burned by fire. But in just half a day, not only has their reproduction speed increased, but the vines' defense has also grown! Now, among so many of us, only I and other S-Class Talent users can still cause damage to the Bloodthirsty Vine…”

The others remained silent, their hearts also filled with despair.

The atmosphere in the entire conference room was very oppressive.

Suddenly, someone spoke up dejectedly, “I think the true situation here should be announced on the World channel. Only then can we rally strong people from all over the world to fight against the Bloodthirsty Vine together!”

But soon, someone else countered, “No! The true situation must not be known to the outside world! Do you really think human nature is inherently good? Once those strong people know the horror of the Bloodthirsty Vine, they will inevitably hide as far away as possible and will not come to help us at all!”

“Then what do you suggest we do? If this continues, and the Bloodthirsty Vine continues to reproduce… I can't even imagine the consequences right now!”

One of Terao's subordinates suddenly spoke, “I think such a powerful Bloodthirsty Vine should be resisted by the whole world together!”

This was immediately met with a sneer: “Heh, easy for you to say. Do you really think the whole world is full of saints?!”

The person was silent for a while, then suddenly said ominously, “What if the Bloodthirsty Vine's reproduction spreads throughout the whole world? Then, those so-called strong people who mind their own business and are selfish, no matter how much they don't want to get involved, will have to join us and raid the Boss together!”

Then, another one of Terao's subordinates echoed, “Exactly! The World Boss is a common enemy of the world, and it should originally be faced by all players worldwide together!”

“Only by letting the Bloodthirsty Vine's reproduction spread throughout the world! Will all the strong people in the world truly unite!”

One determined voice after another rang out.

It was only then that those strong people from outside realized—

This was Terao's intention.

He wanted to drag the whole world into this!!
