The residents of Block B were undoubtedly the most excited.

Zhang San was one of these people. He was a sewer cleaner, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work. During their breaks, instead of lying listlessly at the rest area as usual, they gathered around a relatively clean-looking man. He had subscribed to a live video stream on his wristband, which was showing what was happening in the combat system.

This was all new and exciting for Zhang San, who had no mental strength and couldn't even connect to the combat system.

The combat system is similar to the online games they've heard about in textbooks that were popular on primitive planets three eras ago, but it's more powerful and emphasizes total immersion. The realism is 90%, and the pain transmission is as high as 60%. While you won't die in it, it will still make you feel excruciating pain.

There are three core modules. The first module is the Pioneers. In each game, 100 mech warriors are randomly selected. The system automatically generates monsters. There is a base in the center of the simulated planet. Only one person can get the base reward. The rest are either killed by monsters, eliminated by traps, or even killed by their own comrades.

But high risk also means high reward. As long as you participate, you can get corresponding points every time you defeat a monster or mech warrior, which can be exchanged for many things that cannot be bought on the market.

The second module is the arena, a one-on-one duel where the winner takes all the opponent's points. The third module is not open to the public; instead, it's a preparation area simulating a combat system where the pain level is increased to 90%. Death can result in immense suffering, and if it's increased to 100%, there are rumors of instant system death, which is indeed the case in reality.

At this time, most people gathered in the second module because the arena in the second module is much "milder" than the first module of the Law of the Forest, and is more suitable for beginners. Most importantly, as long as someone is competing here, others can watch.

While waiting, they watched one uninteresting match after another. Even those who had long dominated the top ten of the rankings didn't participate. Instead, they were all eagerly waiting for something. Without exception, they were all in the preparation zone because their numbers were similar.

Normally, the integration of the first two modules is hardly attractive, and the third module is the main focus of their training. However, today, they are clearly well-prepared.

The game's public chat was filled with rapidly scrolling messages, mostly complaints. People within 5 meters of each other could communicate in the battle system, but those watching the live stream couldn't hear them and could only see the increasingly impatient expressions of all the mech warriors.

After watching a few rounds of the competition, Zhang San found it a bit boring after the initial novelty wore off. It was nothing more than a contest of mech weapons, with some even involving the two sides firing at each other from a distance of more than ten meters. It was really not interesting.

Many of his fellow workers shared similar thoughts and complained amongst themselves.

"Judging from this, these guys don't have any real skills; they just rely on their weapons and equipment. And they all act all high and mighty normally."

"Exactly, after so many matches, there hasn't been a single one that's even a real head-to-head battle. It's really boring."

Time passed second by second, and more than six hours had passed since the news broke this morning.

With their half-hour break almost over, and just as they were getting ready to get back to work in a huff, Wang San suddenly received a hurried phone call from a friend.

He pressed the call button and heard his friend's incredibly excited voice: "Quickly start a live stream on Channel 9! She's in the pioneering area, hurry! My god, she's amazing!"

Because it was being played on public, the other workers heard it too. They immediately switched channels like they were on steroids, and sure enough, the person they had been waiting for appeared on the live broadcast of Channel 9. Among a large group of monsters and mech warriors fighting in a chaotic battle, there was a special person.

The ID floating above the white mecha warrior's head, with its large "B-level gene user" logo, was particularly eye-catching.

She actually reached the Pioneer Module, which is known as the most jungle-law-based module!

"Holy crap, that's insane!" one of the workers exclaimed.

The others were awestruck by the scene they had never seen before.

Pioneer Planet simulates a chaotic battle on the surface of a planet the size of a primitive planet, but the area of ​​the planet that can be operated is less than three kilometers.

The entire planet was a grayish-brown color.

The planet, a black, scorched wasteland, is dotted with volcanoes that sometimes erupt in flames and sometimes spew corrosive liquids. Even mechs would be unable to withstand them for more than half a second, let alone those bizarre monsters.

A giant, ferocious tiger with three eyes, over five meters tall; ants that appear in swarms despite their short stature; black zombie wolves with three heads... These are just some of the lowest-level monsters. Above them are huge creatures covered in hard armor, the shortest of which are over eight meters tall, and the ground trembles when they move.

The most formidable are the level ten predators. They resemble mutated cockroaches, possessing human-like limbs and walking upright on two legs. They move very quickly, their entire carapace is impervious to blades and spears, glows with a blue light, their mouths are filled with sharp teeth, and their sharp claws can easily sever a person's thigh. They can also spray highly corrosive venom.

Although the predators here are only 90% of the real predators, they are still terrifying enough. They are over ten meters tall and are like mobile harvesting machines. Many mech warriors who did not react in time were directly cut in half by the predators.

And for some reason, there are three Level 10 Predators on the Pioneer Planet that were originally only one today, and there are also many other monsters. The dim light and the giant gem on the scorched earth mountain thousands of meters high are the only bright spots. Whoever can get the gem in the end will be the final winner.
