Meng Qingyin's phone was infected with a virus.
However, aside from being added to a strange chat group, her phone was otherwise normal.
The group name was also very odd, something ...
Meng Qingyin carefully read the rules of the game and spent 20 copper coins to buy a ticket.
After using the ticket, Meng Qingyin suddenly heard a message: [You are from District 30, the same district as the activator "I am a Non-Agency". You have received a "Random Bonus"! Please use it after entering the mini-game.]
Random bonus?
Meng Qingyin was wondering what this bonus would be when an interface suddenly appeared with information about her current situation.
[Nickname: Meng Meng
Identity: Goldfish
Energy required to evolve: 0/10 (Energy can be obtained by eating fish of the same level/lower level or fish feed).
Note 1: Players cannot tell the identities of other players, and cannibalism is achieved through physical contact. If you touch a fish of the same or lower rank, you will eat it. If you touch a fish of the same or lower rank, you will be eaten. If you touch a fish of the same rank, the one you touch will be eaten.
Note 2: Can move up to 100 meters underwater (the range increases with level).
Note 3: You can stay underwater for a maximum of two hours. After two hours, please come to the surface to breathe, otherwise you will drown.
Note 4: Props not produced in this game are invalid.
Note 5: The safety of every player is guaranteed within the mini-game, so players can enjoy the game with confidence.
Then, there is a countdown line:
[Attention, you will be teleported to the sea in 5 seconds. Please be prepared! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...]
Meng Qingyin felt dizzy, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already in a dark blue sea.
Surprisingly, she was able to breathe freely underwater without wearing any diving equipment.
She subconsciously looked at her body and found no changes. Fortunately, the mini-game did not really turn her into a goldfish.
The chat area has exploded.
Meng Qingyin took a closer look and found that the chat area had also changed. Its sections were divided into more detailed sections, including "Chat in this area (Area 30)", "Chat in this sea area (Qingyang Sea Area)" and "Chat in all servers".
With a thought, she switched to the server-wide chat.
All-server chat (number of people online:)
[All Servers] Matsushita Maruko (Sakura Server, Ward 12): "Fellow Sakura Nation members, we must unite and act together to achieve victory in this game! This is my [position], anyone interested in forming a team can come find me."
[All Servers] Jinze Castle (Korean Server Zone 5): "[Location] Everyone from Greater Korea, gather here!"
[All Servers] Zeratsky (Ward 21, Bear Server): "Why are you guys acting together? Doesn't that make you an easier target?"
[All Servers] Charles (US Server 109): "The number of people participating in this mini-game has reached 1.2 billion. What a terrifying number!"
[All Servers] Moni (US Ward 27): "What a shame! I can't kill people or steal treasure here! I'm quitting... Shit! Why can't I quit?"
[All Servers] Xiu'er (Chinese Server 798): "So many people."
[All Servers] Sprite Zhou Yu (Ward 1206, Chinese Server): "The system is quite thoughtful. It automatically translates all languages into Chinese. There's no difficulty reading it at all."
[All Servers] Auntie Xiaohong (Zone 209, Chinese Server): "I think it's amazing that I can actually breathe underwater like a fish..."
[All Servers] As long as my name is long enough, someone will definitely read it (Chinese Server 698): "But since we are all fish now, why do we still need to breathe every two hours? How can a fish drown?"
[All Servers] Xinxinnian: "Strange setup. Besides, we can't know the identities of other players, and we can't just eat them casually. What if our level is lower than theirs? Wouldn't that be courting death?"
Chuan Liu He: "But our initial identities are all goldfish, so we don't have such concerns now. We need to evolve as quickly as possible."
[This section] I am speechless: "Brothers and sisters, have you received the 'random bonus'?"
[Local Zone] Little Karami: "Yes, yes, it seems that only players in Zone 30 have it! I just checked the server-wide chat, and no one mentioned the random bonus at all."
[This area] Ning Zaizi: "What are your bonuses? Mine is that I can evolve without energy, but I only have two chances. I'm already a bullfrog!"
[This area] Big Yellow Girl: "Ah, you're so confused! How come you used up these two chances so quickly!"
[This area] Ning Zaizi: "What do you mean? Shouldn't I use it now?"
[This area] Big Yellow Girl: "Based on my experience playing games, it's easy to level up—that is, evolve—in the early stages. The further you progress, the more energy you need. Using your two chances in the early stages is a complete waste, isn't it?"
[This area] Ning Zaizi: "What you said seems to make sense, but I've already used it! Ahhhhh, I regret it so much!"
[This section] I'm the European Emperor (poor version): "But, we started out as goldfish, how did you evolve into a bullfrog? Is that right? Doesn't everyone's evolutionary path differ?"
[This section] The Other Shore & Sanshengshi: "So what will the goldfish evolve into?"
[This section] Ning Zaizi: "Goldfish will evolve into frogs, and frogs will evolve into bullfrogs. This is the information I have learned so far."
[This section] Nailin is a cool guy: "Thanks for the strategy, sister!"
[This section] I love my pigeons: "Let me share another piece of news. There is a pink jellyfish that glows in the water. Catch it and you'll trigger a quest! I completed its quest, and it gave me a bag of fish feed. I've now evolved from a goldfish to a frog."
[This section] Ah Qi A A Yo: "It seems that the evolutionary path should be fixed."
[This area] Ji Qing: "Ahhhhh, I met another player! He won't eat me, will he?"
