These words immediately caused an uproar among the five newcomers.
"Coordinates? We're coordinates?" Li Si's face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly patted herself down. "Do I have a GPS on me? Can I take it off?"
"No wonder I was suddenly dressed up like this! Turns out I was thrown here as a disposable beacon!" Manager Zhang was trembling with anger.
Xia Yan stepped forward at the right moment, smiling and reassuringly saying, "Don't worry, it's alright now. The moment you chose to worship the Mountain Goddess, her divine power had already blocked the coordinate signals on your bodies. To that otherworldly deity, your signal has disappeared."
The five of them breathed a long sigh of relief, their eyes filled with gratitude as they looked at Wang Wan and Xia Yan.
“Not only that,” Professor Qian, wearing reading glasses, walked over, pointing to the black gas in the container, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"These black wisps aren't entirely useless. Our research shows that once the consciousness within them is eradicated, they become a perfect source of clean energy! In fact, diluted energy liquid can greatly improve the soil, turning barren land into fertile fields!"
He picked up a palm-sized silver metal bottle covered with intricate runes from the side.
"This is our latest black energy collector, and I've developed a special container for it. When you're out fighting, just disperse these evil spirits, and you can use it to collect the dissipated black energy. Remember, don't waste a single drop; it's all precious!"
While the five were still in a daze, their worldviews being repeatedly overturned, a cold metal bottle was shoved into their hands.
Seeing that they had almost accepted it, Wang Wan's cool voice rang out again:
"That concludes the theory lesson. Next up is the practical lesson."
Before she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and a silver light enveloped the five of them.
In the blink of an eye, they had left the bright and clean laboratory and returned to the coastal ruins filled with screams and bloodshed.
…
"Ugh! Here we go again!"
A three-meter-tall octopus monster, waving its slippery tentacles, slammed down towards Li Si's head. The girl closed her eyes in fright and let out a piercing scream.
"Don't shout! Use your abilities!" Wang Wan's voice was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head.
Li Si subconsciously opened her eyes, and the logical deduction of the ability bestowed upon her by the mountain god automatically surfaced in her mind.
In an instant, the octopus monster's attack trajectory, power distribution, and even the weak points on its tentacles were clearly presented to her in the form of a data stream.
“Take three steps to the left, then attack the second sucker on its third tentacle!” she blurted out.
"Roger!" Zhou Peng shouted from the side, his gaming instincts instantly putting him into the zone. "Manager, cast a Solid Barrier! I'm about to unleash my ultimate!"
Although Manager Zhang was so frightened that his legs went weak, he still subconsciously activated his abilities.
He was previously a senior executive at the company, and the ability he acquired was [team enhancement].
He pointed at Zhou Peng, and a ray of light fell on Zhou Peng.
"Here it comes! [Fatal Strike]!"
A glint flashed in Zhou Peng's eyes, and his body shot out like an arrow, precisely dodging the descending tentacles.
A red light shone from the beginner's longsword in his hand, and he thrust it fiercely at the suction cup that Li Si had pointed out!
"Pfft!"
With a muffled thud, the octopus monster let out a painful hiss, and its tentacle instantly went limp.
"Well done!"
"And this side too!"
Wang Wan's calm voice echoed throughout the battlefield as she wielded her flying sword, clearing away the demons and monsters that were too dangerous for the newcomers.
But he doesn't directly intervene in their battles; instead, he acts like a strict instructor, constantly issuing commands and pushing them to grow.
The battle lasted from dusk until late at night.
These five "weaklings" from modern society started off in a panic, yelling and screaming.
Later, they were able to cooperate with some difficulty, and finally, they achieved a smooth and seamless teamwork.
"Zhou Peng, three shrimp soldiers on the left flank, use Flash to cut through the backline! Li Si, calculate their movement patterns! Manager Zhang, cast Inspire Aura on the whole team! The remaining two, get your Earth Wall and Water Arrow ready, listen to my commands!"
Zhou Peng, as the team's DPS, was now in a frenzy of killing.
He shouted game jargon that no one could understand, yet his figure moved like a ghost through the demons, each attack aimed straight for the vital points.
"pretty!"
After the last fish-headed monster was killed by the five of them together and turned into black mist that was absorbed by the collector, the five-person team that had been temporarily formed stood together, panting heavily.
Looking at the mess on the ground, their faces were etched with exhaustion, but even more so with an unprecedented sense of excitement and accomplishment.
Wang Wan gracefully landed in front of them, the cool moonlight shining on her plain white Taoist robe, making her look like a fairy.
Looking at these rookies who had transformed themselves in just a few hours, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.
"Very good, welcome to this new world."
"You have passed the assessment."
The five people burst into cheers in unison.
