My Disciples are Too Idiotic

Chapter 446 305: Post Controversy, The Rise of Fifth Test Players!_2

"Top Archer in the National Server: I've got a target now, little bro! Give me the location of Lin'an City. Tonight, I'll conquer all the women there!"

"Junlin: Wow, we've spotted an Analysis Lord. Why don't you come hang out at Lingxiao Hall?"

"Flourishing Flowers: Cloud Lament also welcomes you, brother!"

"Dung Beetle: So, we've been wasting our time taking care of Non-player Characters here? Is heading to Lin'an City the right choice?"

"King of Spraying King Pen Duanchang: Little bro, start a live stream so we can see what's happening in Lin'an City."

"Antarctic: Can you give me an exact location? I'll buy a Teleportation Array and come over to help right now!"

"Tangtang Doesn't Eat Sugar: It's all Lords here; this little newbie is shivering… By the way, does Antarctic Lord need someone to warm his bed? I'm good at it and not clingy!"

"Master Pang: …"

"Hugging Chang'e and Roasting Jade Rabbit: …"

"Top Archer in the National Server: Tangtang, you Photoshop freak! Damn you, I want a refund!"

"Abbess, Don't Love Me: Come on, Archer bro, tell us your story."

"Half Dream, Half Wake, Half Life: Sunflower seeds ready. Archer bro, tell us your story."

"Drunken Poisoning: Tell us your story. (Teasing)"

"A Bowl of Duck Leg Rice: Looks like Archer bro has finally met his match, hahaha. Tangtang might be the first one to make Archer bro suffer, right?"

"…"

In just a few hours, the post by Rat Tail Juice shot to the top, becoming the number one post on the forum.

Aside from discussing the Top Archer in the National Server, players were also talking about the situation Rat Tail Juice had mentioned. Judging from the pictures, they had indeed found a hidden city. However, the exact details remained unclear. If they wanted to know more about Lin'an City, they had to find Rat Tail Juice and ask for the specific location.

After posting, Rat Tail Juice started eating and discussing the next steps with friends. This matter began to ferment among the players.

「Inside the Great Hall of the Profound Yellow Sect.」

For the past few days, Xu Nian had been taking care of the comatose Blood Demoness and hadn't joined players in exploring new areas. But now that players had discovered some details about the Fifth Test, he took a special interest in this post.

I have to admit, this player, Rat Tail Juice, is truly impressive. He managed to uncover secrets even I didn't know about so quickly.

The Mysterious Realm… Perhaps it really is more dangerous than anything I've experienced before. In all this time, I've only encountered Anomalies, and the Ancient God supposedly behind them still hasn't appeared. If what Rat Tail Juice says is true—that this world is undergoing an epochal transition—then Zhao Ritian must have missed a great deal of information during his long imprisonment. The secrets he revealed are likely worthless now.

Never mind. I'll let the players handle it. With them helping to explore, I can just sit back and observe.

「Inside the Lingxiao Hall camp.」

Junlin and his team gathered to discuss the post.

"Seriously though, these newbies from the Fifth Test are somewhat useful." Abbess, Don't Love Me sat to one side, chuckling. "His discovery of Lin'an City at least proves that this version really has a lot of hidden content."

Junlin nodded. "Indeed, the appearance of Lin'an City has given us a new target."

"Shall we explore it?" Old Mo, doing push-ups, interjected. "I feel like Eight Gates Escape Armor will finally be useful! And since places like Lin'an City exist, there must be more than one!"

Upon hearing this, everyone else turned to look at Junlin. They were still busy clearing out Anomalies and preparing to siege a Wild Boss, with no immediate plans to explore new territory. Exploration was too exhausting. Rat Tail Juice had discovered Lin'an City only after exploring all night. If they were to do it, it would probably take them a lot of time.

"Let's hold off on exploring for now and see what the other player groups say," Junlin mused. "The War Alliance has already taken a backseat. Celestial Realm is focused on lifestyle gameplay. Hundred Herbs Hall and Valley of Hundred Flowers are still feuding. And Cloud Lament from Flourishing Flowers isn't as active as before. We're truly entering the era of New Players now. Among the Veteran Players, only our group and Dung Beetle's Wood Leaf Village are still prominent. Sister Zhou, keep an eye on Wood Leaf Village. If they plan to explore Lin'an City, we'll join in too. The Fifth Test Players want to rise, and we, the Veteran Players, can't fall behind."

Sister Zhou nodded.

Veteran Players might seem active, but as New Player numbers grew, the veterans were starting to seem outmatched. Since the Fourth Test, the New Players had shown strong momentum. King of Spraying King Pen Duanchang, the Top Player of the Fourth Test, was the best example. Now, the Fifth Test Players were all vying for the title of Top Player of the Fifth Test. Besides the few like Hugging Chang'e and Roasting Jade Rabbit, Rat Tail Juice's team also had strong momentum. If nothing unexpected happened, Rat Tail Juice and his team were set to quickly overtake everyone. It wouldn't be long before the entire player landscape changed.

"Are you worried about New Players surpassing us?" Old Mo looked at Junlin in disbelief. They had never considered such a thing. After all, the Veteran Players' advantage was clear: as long as they had enough Contribution Points, they were dominant.

Junlin nodded. "We should never underestimate the Fifth Test Players. Don't forget, the Fifth Test has been fully balanced. Except for Antarctic, almost everyone is on the same level."

He had his concerns. Rat Tail Juice had discovered Lin'an City, which meant they would surely get many items from there to increase their Power. This Lin'an City was like a Hidden Dungeon. If Rat Tail Juice's team triggered a Task there, it was essentially a Hidden Task. How great were the rewards for Hidden Tasks? The veterans of Lingxiao Hall knew this very well; after all, they had completed a Hidden Task themselves. Regardless, Rat Tail Juice's team definitely put a kind of invisible pressure on all players.

Abbess, Don't Love Me frowned. "Are you worried about the Fifth Test Players overtaking us?"

"It won't be long before the roster of the Top Ten Combat Power Players changes," Junlin shook his head. "The rise of the Fifth Test Players will surely take many spots. Among us, apart from Old Mo, I'm afraid no one can hold them down."

"Really? But you're the number one assassin," Under the Phoenix Tree said, surprised.

But Junlin said firmly, "I've already dropped out of the Top Ten rankings. The Fifth Test Players are pushing too aggressively."

Hearing this, the other players also looked disappointed. They had spent so much effort climbing the rankings; how could they compete now with the Fifth Test Players' aggressive momentum?

Old Mo, still doing push-ups, asked, "Who can hold steady in the Top Ten?"

"You, Dung Beetle, Pen Duanchang." Junlin slowly named a few players, then paused.

"No way!" Old Mo exclaimed, astonished. "Are Chili Pepper and Half Dream, Half Wake, Half Life going to be kicked out? Their strength isn't to be underestimated. And Wanwan, she's not bad either. Surely the Fifth Test Players haven't caught up with them yet?"

Junlin addressed the group, "I have a feeling Rat Tail Juice's team will definitely break into the Top Ten. Wanwan's overall power is too low; she'll definitely be pushed out.

"As for Chili Pepper and Half Dream, Half Wake, Half Life," he continued, "it depends on whether they're willing to spend Contribution Points to improve their power. If they are, they can secure a place in the Top Ten. But I'm more confident about Half Dream, Half Wake, Half Life. He's the only one who has climbed the ranks by fully cultivating Five Elements Magic. His power is only slightly less than Old Mo and the others."

Abbess, Don't Love Me also nodded. "I also feel Half Dream, Half Wake, Half Life can hold steady. His power is indeed impressive; we shouldn't underestimate him. Many players cultivate all Five Elements, but none can compare to him. Don't forget, he was the first player to choose Five-Element Cultivation, basically pioneering a new playstyle!"

Junlin looked at them and smiled. "Don't be too downhearted. If I drop out, I drop out. As long as Old Mo is still in the Top Ten, the status of our Lingxiao Hall won't be affected. With the Fifth Test Players rising, we're the ones who have to uphold the reputation of Veteran Players!"
