56: Don't worry, no matter who you are, I stand with you.

Midnight Gao Sou's body stiffened.

It seemed something was not quite right?

He blinked, carefully observing the words that appeared.

"Holy crap!"

Midnight Gao Sou immediately cursed, "Brothers, I think I randomly got a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!"

Midnight Gao Sou was first ecstatic, then suddenly froze.

"Wait, that name seems a bit familiar... Isn't that the evil Cultivator?!"

Midnight Gao Sou's eyes widened, finally realizing, and he was completely dumbfounded.

No, buddy.

In single-player mode, he was tormented by the evil Cultivator, almost becoming a joke.

Now in multiplayer mode, you're telling me I've become him?

What a joke?

"What a joke? How could I play this character? Re-randomize, I must re-randomize!"

Midnight Gao Sou was indignant; he absolutely could not accept becoming his enemy.

While speaking, Midnight Gao Sou opened the detailed panel again to check the character randomization rules:

[All players are considered "Transmigrators" upon entering the Xuanhuan World, and can choose between Soul Transmigration and Body Transmigration]

[If Soul Transmigration is chosen, a compatible (below Nascent Soul) native will be randomly selected for the player to replace their identity]

[If Body Transmigration is chosen, players can customize their own character]

[Regardless of Body Transmigration or Soul Transmigration, Golden Fingers can be obtained through reincarnation points]

[*reincarnation points: When you die in the Xuanhuan World, you will receive a certain number of reincarnation points based on your current cultivation, allowing you to obtain a stronger Golden Finger in your next playthrough]

"Huh? Body Transmigration and Soul Transmigration?"

Midnight Gao Sou encountered these two concepts for the first time; he studied them carefully and quickly understood.

Soul Transmigration means replacing an NPC, which is equivalent to directly controlling a native character.

Body Transmigration means starting as a blank slate Mortal.

"Then I'll definitely choose Soul Transmigration. Naturally, I'll have higher cultivation and status, which is a much greater advantage than Body Transmigration."

Midnight Gao Sou made a sharp comment, feeling even more conflicted.

Soul Transmigration cannot be re-randomized; whatever you get is what you get until the next Reincarnation (restart) allows for re-randomization.

If he doesn't play the Lu Dingpeng character, he'll have to play as a blank slate Body Transmigration, which would put him at a huge disadvantage compared to other players.

As for the Golden Finger, since all players are entering the Xuanhuan World for the first time, their reincarnation points are 0, so they cannot choose a Golden Finger and don't need to consider it for now.

Midnight Gao Sou looked at the camera with difficulty: "Brothers, how about a compromise, I'll just play this character?"

The viewers immediately exploded:

[Are you kidding me?]

[Didn't we agree yesterday to cultivate together and besiege Su Qianwan and Lu Dingpeng together?]

[Now you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, have betrayed us?]

[If you choose Soul Transmigration, I'm unfollowing!]

Midnight Gao Sou's expression was very awkward.

Yesterday, he specifically told people that they would team up and cooperate today, and even created several QQ groups.

But today, after his identity was randomized, good heavens, he was directly on the opposite side of everyone.

It's not that his position determines his thoughts; Midnight Gao Sou simply couldn't bear to part with the Foundation Establishment identity.

"Brothers, although I am now a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, an Elder of Duan Kong Cave, I am also a player."

Midnight Gao Sou carefully chose his words: "After I go in, I will definitely side with us players. At that time, I'll secretly move resources out of Duan Kong Cave and give them as benefits to the viewers, how does that sound?"

With concrete benefits, the viewers' attitudes instantly changed:

[I think Gao Sou is right. Character identity and player stance don't necessarily have to be the same. He can completely infiltrate Duan Kong Cave.]

[This is an Elder after all, he should control a lot of resources. Just a few Medicinal Pills from him would be enough for us to take off.]

[Yes, I'm randomized as a Mortal. It seems I can only wait for Gao Sou to give out benefits.]

Seeing that the viewers were appeased, Midnight Gao Sou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, another viewer stirred up trouble:

[No way, after Gao Sou goes in, how can he still be on our side?]

[Don't be fooled by him. This Lu Dingpeng is an evil Cultivator. Gao Sou will definitely try to capture us to refine medicine after he goes in.]

[Have you heard a saying? Your position determines your thoughts.]

Midnight Gao Sou pondered for a moment, then said seriously:

"Brothers, you all know me. I am a young man with ideas, thoughts, and morals.

"I will absolutely not let my position control my thoughts. No matter what my identity, I will stand with the viewers.

"How about this, after I go in, I'll find an opportunity to kill Su Qianwan first. Then you'll believe me, right?"

Midnight Gao Sou actually decided to kill his 'sister' to prove his Dao, which completely stumped the viewers.

[Gao Sou, are you really willing?]

[What's there not to be willing about? Su Qianwan was originally Gao Sou's enemy.]

[Only an enemy in single-player mode. Now she's his disciple and Dao Companion, is he still willing?]

[What is a Dao Companion?]

[It means wife.]

The viewers discussed animatedly, all thinking that Midnight Gao Sou couldn't do it.

Midnight Gao Sou grew anxious: "Alright, after I go in, I guarantee to kill Su Qianwan. If I can't do it, I'll eat noodles with my nose while standing on my head!"

[Get it in writing!]

Seeing the bullet screen, Midnight Gao Sou snorted, temporarily left the VR pod, took paper and pen nearby, and wrote down his promise.

"This should be enough, right? Viewers, what kind of person is Midnight Gao Sou? New fans might not know, but don't old fans know? What I've said, I will definitely achieve!

"So everyone, don't have any worries. After entering the game, all come find me. I, Elder Lu Dingpeng, guarantee I can arrange positions for you."

Midnight Gao Sou patted his chest.

His posture was so humble because he realized a key point:

Multiplayer online mode would not restart because of one person's death; it would continue to develop, so early accumulation and future potential were very important.

As a streamer, he naturally had an advantage that others didn't: he had many fans, and these fans could all be developed into forces in the Xuanhuan World.

Midnight Gao Sou secretly thought that after he entered the game and became familiar with his identity as a Duan Kong Cave Elder, he could replace the old with the new, allowing players to directly occupy the entire Duan Kong Cave.

By then, he would probably be the most powerful player in the Xuanhuan World. How could his gains be small?

Midnight Gao Sou chatted with the viewers while waiting for the server to open.

As time passed minute by minute, Su Qianwan's appearance suddenly flashed through his mind. That exquisite, pure face, like a Fairy, he couldn't forget.

He suddenly thought, this Lu Dingpeng is Su Qianwan's Dual Cultivation Dao Companion... Pah pah pah!

Midnight Gao Sou quickly stopped his thoughts.

That was close, his 'little head' almost controlled his 'big head'.

"Alright, Brothers, I'm going into the game. Trust me, the first thing I'll do after I go in is kill Su Qianwan, to show my attitude and prove my stance to everyone."

The countdown ended, and the Xuanhuan World multiplayer mode officially began!
