“Brother, do you know?” Chu Fu suddenly lowered her voice and said sneakily, “Major Li told us that in just over four months, the game is going to invade reality.”
Chu Feng: ????
“Is this for real? Is there any proof?”
Chu Feng’s eyes flickered, and his voice lowered as well.
Chu Fu then explained Li Weizheng’s experimental theory.
At that moment, a huge wave of shock crashed through Chu Feng’s mind.
Based on what he knew from his previous life—after the first month passed, the mutated rats only then synced into reality. And the wild boar mutations didn’t appear until at least two months after the 【Primordial Gate】 had opened.
So the official research had to be correct.
Then the question was: why so soon?
Back before his rebirth, the game didn’t invade reality until after a full year.
What had changed all of this?
Oh, right. It was me. Never mind, then.
Chu Feng quickly figured it all out.
Because he had been reborn.
In his past life, the game invaded a year later, and he had only been a grunt at a small game studio—grinding copper coins, mining ore, converting any spare earnings into cash, trying to build a safety net.
He never imagined that a year later, monsters would invade reality, and all the money sitting in his bank account would turn into worthless paper—just numbers.
Not a single cent could be brought out.
And at that time, he had only been level 10.
Now, he was level 30!
He was a first-tier player—the first person in the entire world to reach level 30.
Everything was different.
Especially, Chu Feng had changed his younger sister’s fate.
He had given Chu Fu a game pod, and as a result, she awakened—not just her, but Shen Chi and Xie Lin as well, two guys who, in Chu Feng’s view, had never appeared in his previous life.
And all of them had S-rank talents.
The stronger the talents that rose up, the more wary the monsters invading this world became.
Take the newbie village for example—once more than 1,000 players reached level 10, the beast tide naturally triggered.
Because of the Beast God’s surveillance.
After his own rebirth, he awakened an SSS-rank talent, creating an enormous variable.
The timing of the game’s invasion into reality had also moved up.
Even so, being reborn once, Chu Feng had confidence that even if it came half a year earlier, he could handle everything.
What comforted him most was that his butterfly effect had changed his sister’s fate and those of others as well.
It had triggered a cascade of reactions.
In particular, he noticed that his sister was on very close terms with the authorities.
That was a good thing—he would stay behind the scenes, while his sister could join official circles and gain access to their intelligence.
Just like right now—he could obtain information like this.
“Don’t worry, Fu Fu, even if the game invades reality, your big brother will protect you!”
“Li Weizheng may have official backing, but once the game invades reality, the authorities will have their own hands full.”
“When that time comes, we have to rely on ourselves!”
Chu Fu never argued with Chu Feng.
She only felt for her brother!
Because the Chu Feng of now only carried memories from his first lifetime. He instinctively distrusted the authorities—after all, in that first life, he was at the bottom, only level 10, and when the world turned upside down, the old order collapsed, and he was just a single grain of sand in an ocean.
Good thing she had arrived!
“Brother, I’m growing too. When this world falls into the abyss and the authorities can’t manage themselves—won’t we still be here?
Better to be one of those who protect others.
Than to be among the ones who need protecting.
Don’t hand your fate to someone else’s hands—only then can you rule your own destiny.
So I’m going to build a kingdom of my own. Maybe one day, this place of ours will be called the City of Thorns!”
Chu Feng smiled.
“Then, for my little sister’s utopia—your big brother will have to keep pushing forward too!”
Chu Fu naturally nodded.
After all, her brother was the protagonist with main-character plot armor!
All the villains would turn into brainless fools.
Chu Fu secretly giggled to herself.
Chu Feng patted Chu Fu’s head. As long as she was happy, he was willing to do anything.
…
Chu Fu did some more training, then logged into the game.
To supply more food tomorrow, Chu Fu went to clear more land.
She simply reclaimed the land around the guild’s territory, adding another 3,000 mu.
That brought Chu Fu’s daily output to 32 million jin.
After that, Chu Fu hurriedly called for Jiao Jiao Bu Jiao and the others to go leveling.
The team counted ten people—the old regulars, plus a few newly trained members.
After some thought, Chu Fu shared the news she got from Major Li’s side.
“Here’s the situation,” she said. “So from now on, I want all of you to move into Wangxi Manor as soon as possible—your families too. If you have relatives you trust, bring them as well. There’s plenty of room in the villas.”
Among the four new members, everyone was stunned—except Bitter Melon King.
Bitter Melon King had seen Chu Fu use her in-game abilities in the real world.
So she had long accepted all of this.
“Then I’m leaving the Primordial Academy—Vice Guild Leader, arrange it for me!” Bitter Melon King said immediately.
“Wait, I’m not following anymore!” Wu Yingchun said, utterly shocked.
After all, compared to the younger ones, Grandma Wu Yingchun never expected things to escalate like this.
Game invading reality? In-game skills syncing to the real world?
This was too surreal.
Chu Fu said, “Grandma Wu, even if you don’t trust me, you should at least trust the authorities, right?
And if you watch the news, you’ll see—red-eyed rabbits and mutated rats have already invaded the real world. A lot of articles are covering it now.
What the public doesn’t yet know, though, is that players can also extract attributes into reality—it’s just that the requirements are strict, and you need to be level 30.
So we need to rush our levels fast!
Get to 30 as soon as possible.
Everyone needs to keep a high login rate—when we can level together, don’t fall behind.”
Little Sister Wu understood.
This was a direct hint at her!
She immediately yelled, “Got it, Vice Guild Leader—I’m quitting my job tomorrow. I’m going full-time gamer!”
Little Sister Wu was the only one in the team who had a regular job.
Not only that, but her job was the kind that didn’t pay much yet came with great benefits, low pressure, and tons of time off.
But after yesterday’s session—five bosses, four dungeons—she suddenly realized this game was the real boom.
She felt like she hadn’t even done much, and she had earned 4 million!
If she went by her old life—5,000 yuan a month, no food, no spending—she’d have to work 66 years to earn that much.
Why go to work anymore?
Of course, they also spent a lot—in the end, the money earned in-game only went back into boosting their own stats. It wasn’t possible to just earn without spending.
Her old lady—her dear mother—had already invested several million.
So Little Sister Wu had also had her doubts and worries.
But now, hearing that the game would soon invade reality, that money would become useless paper, and their lives were even in danger—Little Sister Wu agreed without hesitation.
Shafu Liangu and Zhimengzhe, although stunned by the news, also agreed and planned to move into the Thorn Guild’s VIP employee dorms.
“From now on, we give it everything we have—level up as fast as possible.”
