"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
......like.
"Regarding one's background, my knowledge is currently limited," Master Huang continued. "The foundation for a breakthrough is a perfect score, but there is a difference between one perfect score and two perfect scores because the attribute points are different—'charm' and 'intelligence' are also included. Therefore, everyone's background is destined to be different."
"So what's the significance of being born into a high-ranking family? That relates to something else—ability."
"What is ability? It's still the fetal analogy. Once you break through the boundaries, leave the womb, and are born, you become a formal resident of the new world and have the rights of a formal resident. These rights are ability."
"And this ability is practically omnipotent for those who haven't obtained New World residency status."
Everyone's breath was hot and their hearts were pounding.
Master Huang smiled and said, "Don't get excited, everyone. It's called omnipotent power, but it's actually similar to the 'magical power' in Taoist legends. You all know as well as I do what 'magical power' can do."
"Extend lifespan, improve physical fitness, heal wounds, and enhance the power of skills and items."
"And the amount of 'ability' is determined by 'origin'."
"A person of low birth has low ability, while a person of high birth has high ability. Moreover, the ability gained after the value level increases is also different—a person of low birth gains 1 point of ability per level, while a person of high birth gains 10 or even 20 points per level."
"Therefore, everyone should do their best to improve their attributes. Even non-players should be able to feel the importance of their background."
"The gap between children from poor families, darlings from ordinary families, children from elite families, and the chosen ones from wealthy and powerful families will only be greater than these in the future."
“Of course,” Master Huang changed the subject, “life is the most important thing. It’s not worth it to lose your life for a chance at a better life.”
"To be honest, most of the people here will likely be stillborn, so if you have the chance, try your best to break through and live as an ordinary citizen."
"Moreover, the better one's background, the more difficult the tasks will be in the future."
"Due to time constraints, I'll stop here regarding 'origins' and 'abilities.' If you're interested, for example, if you want to know about my background, you can purchase this book."
Master Huang picked up a book with a brand new cover.
"This is what I wrote. It includes some dungeons I've experienced, players I've met, how to combine skills, and things after breaking through. After the lecture, everyone is welcome to purchase it."
"How much?" someone shouted from below.
"It's not expensive," Master Huang said with a smile, "just 1 game coin. Please support me, and I hope this book can help you."
In the corner.
Li Changzhou whispered to the other two, "See that? This is what it means to truly dominate the early market. In another month, nobody will buy his book."
"I heard from Zheng Qing that this Master Huang plans to give lectures all over the country. How much money is he going to make!" Li Qianxia said enviously.
"Everyone is working hard in their own way," Yang Qinglan remarked.
"Brother, why don't you go to those lectures? Like that bull horn blah blah blah thing, I'm sure some people would want to learn it."
"First, I have little reputation; second, it's better to buy a skill directly than to spend money to learn this; and finally, it's the 'Bull Horn Spiral Force'."
"Hmm—that's true. Actually, I didn't want to learn this bull-horn blah blah blah stuff. I just wanted to coax you."
Regardless of the impending sibling rivalry in the corner, Master Huang promoted his book for a while before continuing his narration.
"Next, let's talk about the dungeons after the breakthrough."
The commotion caused by 'origins' and 'ability' subsided instantly, and everyone's eyes were brighter than the light bulbs above their heads.
"When discussing dungeons, we must first talk about the core concept of value-based games."
"Destroy the existing world and create a new one, but in order to achieve a certain degree of fairness, a group of people are given the status of 'strugglers' with black cards."

"Before the breakthrough, everyone is in the womb, fighting each other, a bit like spores fighting for eggs."
"Once you manage to snatch an egg, you can basically be born. But this kind of fetus is the weakest player. Those fetuses that snatch an egg and stay in the womb to develop and improve their various attributes will be the ones with the strongest abilities after birth."
"However, being born early also has its advantages. It gives you a time advantage, and even the weakest new citizen is stronger than the vast majority of fetuses."
"We've gone off-topic. Let's get back to the instance."
“Being born is only the first step for us Black Card players to survive. Next, we need to prove one thing: natural selection can be wrong, and we Black Card players can survive.”
"How do you prove it? Go back in time and change the choices that were naturally made in the past."
"Specifically, it means that in the hands of white card players, some things that should have happened are prevented from happening, or something else happens."
"To give an example, 'natural selection' forces Qin Shi Huang to build the Great Wall, while we black card players travel back in time by train. To complete the mission, we must stop the construction of the Great Wall! White card players will do their best to repair the Great Wall!"
Someone couldn't help but shout, "Then aren't we the bad guys?"
Master Huang looked at that person, then slowly swept his gaze over everyone present.
“It depends on how you look at it,” he said. “In nature’s eyes, we are bad people because nature wants to eliminate us, and we don’t want to be eliminated, so we resist His will. But in our own eyes, we just want to survive.”
"Personally, I don't want to destroy history, but so-called history is actually all about natural selection, and natural selection is meant to destroy us!"
