"An important announcement is now being issued."

Suddenly, the live streamer emitted a piercing "beep beep" sound. Mu Qingyun subconsciously looked down at the live stream room, scrolled up, and looked at the comments from earlier.

Before she could even scroll to the comments about the new rules, she heard a cold, mechanical female voice coming from the live stream.

"An important notice is hereby issued: Starting today, virtual creatures will be released. Each team needs to kill one thousand virtual creatures. The sooner the goal is achieved, the sooner we can leave the deserted island."

"Three months later, players can compete for virtual creature points and kill each other if necessary, but players can also click on the distress signal on the live stream."

As the emotionless mechanical female voice began to narrate, a yellow touch button immediately appeared on the live stream screen.

"A special reminder to all participants: while the trial is important, life is more precious. If you encounter danger that you cannot handle, please press the SOS button immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

After a few seconds of pause, the mechanical female voice repeated itself twice more before finally falling silent.

As soon as the mechanical female voice finished speaking, the strange noises that had stopped outside the cave started up again.

"Hiss—"

The snake's hiss echoed clearly in the cave, and the rustling sound of its body crawling on the ground sent chills down one's spine.

Before long, the snake that made the sound revealed itself.

It was a king cobra, much larger than an ordinary snake, with colorful scales that made it look like a mutated species.

"I'll do it!"

Before Mu Qingyun could speak, Fan Xuanye stepped forward, his body transforming into the original form of the Bamboo Viper, which appeared to be even larger than the King Cobra.

The two snakes hissed simultaneously and charged at each other without prior arrangement.

They both opened their gaping maws, each looking for an opportunity to bite down hard on the other's weak spot.

As it turns out, evolution is evolution, and the king cobra is nothing compared to Fan Xuanye.

As Fan Xuanye bit into the king cobra's weak point, the virtual creature instantly turned into grains of gold sand, which scattered in the wind.

On Mu Qingyun's wrist, a number "1" was added to the live streaming device. The number was projected above her head and looked very conspicuous.

Seeing this, she frowned. This practice of displaying numerical points was really ruthless. Wasn't it just encouraging the contestants to compete?

While this competition wouldn't exist if one could successfully kill 1,000 points within three months, 1,000 points would require killing at least a dozen a day.

Leaving aside whether they could kill a dozen or so in a day, it's questionable whether there are even that many virtual creatures.

"Wow, so cool." Xiong Ruoyou noticed the change in the live streaming device on her wrist and absentmindedly praised it. Then she turned to Mu Qingyun with excitement, "Brother Mu, let's quickly collect a thousand points. I can't wait to take you home to see my house."

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it too," she replied casually, without much reaction.

Wow, I'm totally shipping them!

【No, I just don't understand, what are you all shipping? Mu Qingyun seems pretty indifferent, and doesn't seem to have any particularly strong emotional fluctuations.】

[What do you know? If you can't see it, then shut up. You have no idea what we CP fans care about.]

[Yes, you don't understand. You're all so superior, so stop yelling here. Brother Mu never said he liked stupid bears, so what are you all doing jumping around here?]

Who are you calling stupid?

[Ha, whoever chimes in, just say so. What's wrong? Your master hasn't even come out to give any orders yet, and you're already shouting. Anyone who didn't know better would think that stupid bear is paying you a salary.]

...

As soon as the new rules came out, the appearance of virtual creatures increased exponentially, with about seven or eight virtual creatures appearing at their cave entrance almost every day.

The virtual creatures that followed grew stronger and stronger. Every time they fought off a virtual creature, they were so exhausted that they didn't even have the time or energy to go out and hunt for food.

"My God, this new rule at the military academy is just too insane! A thousand of them! How long will it take to kill them all?" Xiong Ruoyou looked down at the wound on her arm and sighed helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun looked up at her, feeling utterly helpless.

When the king cobra was easily dealt with, she initially thought that all the virtual creatures that appeared afterward would be of that level.

In the end, she had underestimated the situation. The second virtual creature to emerge after the King Cobra was abnormally powerful. It took the four of them working together to barely defeat it.

"The military academy is forcing us to seize someone else's bio points in three months," Mu Qingyun said calmly, flames burning in her right hand.

She frowned as she watched the crackling sparks. She had heard that Su Qiluo, the top commander of the military academy, possessed abilities related to light and water. Water could help plants, and light could help plants and also help fire.

If I can get to know Su Qiluo in the future, and the two of us cultivate our supernatural abilities together, we will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

With her current level of cultivation, it would be quite difficult for her to become one of the strongest people on this planet in a short period of time.

"Then let's just rob it."

Su looked up at them and said, "There aren't many resources on this planet to begin with. Aren't we supposed to be robbing other people's resources from birth?"

“But this time it involves killing people.” Xiong Ruoyou frowned. If they wanted to seize someone else’s resources, that person would definitely not be foolish enough to stand still and let them take them; they would fight them to the death.

Then, the miserable scenes of the cat people will reappear before them.

"Are you still afraid of killing people?" Mu Qingyun glanced at her lazily. "In that case, you'll lead the charge in the robbery three months from now."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Xiong Ruoyou shifted her neck at an exaggerated angle, opening her mouth in disbelief. "Why?"

"No reason." Leaning back in her seat, Mu Qingyun replied and then closed her eyes to rest, looking like she was saying, 'Don't disturb me, I need to cultivate.'

The conversation between the four people ended abruptly with Mu Qingyun's silence. Su looked at the three of them, raised her hand to turn off the live broadcast device, and got up to walk out of the cave.

"Beep beep beep."

He pulled out a communicator from his sleeve, his eyes calm and indifferent. He lazily glanced at a virtual creature that was eyeing him menacingly not far away, and lightly curled the corner of his lips. "Get lost."

The virtual creature froze for a moment, then quickly turned and ran.

"Finally got in touch with you, Qi Luo. Is the successor you mentioned Mu Qingyun from your team?" A gentle male voice came from the other end of the line, accompanied by some messy, indistinct background noise.

"Why is it so noisy?" Instead of answering the man's question, he asked a question.
