Yiye Zhiqu rudely interrupted him.

"Don't even think about it, it's impossible... Even if I were, I wouldn't trade this precious job opportunity and incentive options for such a pointless and stupid thing."

"Damn! How heartless!" The Pig-headed Knight looked deeply hurt, clutching his heart with a paw.

Ignoring this character, Yiye Zhiqu paused momentarily and continued speaking.

"Of course, about what you said regarding me maxing out just as the update happened... My guess is that the operations team indeed noticed our growth trajectory, and then adjusted the testing pace according to our progress."

"The way you say it makes me feel like we're being watched..." Hu Wan subconsciously looked around but saw nothing.

That's natural—

If the operations team wanted to monitor them, there's no need to create an extra account to follow them, adjusting the data from the backend would suffice.

Every game is like that.

Yiye Zhiqu didn't think it was a bad thing, shrugged, and said.

"Being noticed by the officials isn't necessarily a bad thing, at least when you encounter a bug, you don't worry about being ignored, and issues can be fixed immediately."

Of course, relatively speaking, benefiting excessively from bugs is out of the question.

But for him, it's not a regret.

He's not the type who likes shortcuts, and most operators have very low tolerance for exploiting bugs.

"That's true... but being constantly watched feels weird," Hu Wan made a helpless face, "maybe I'm overthinking it, I'll slowly get used to it."

"In any case, let's cut the crap."

Yiye Zhiqu patted his Magic Wand, refreshed, and continued.

"It's time to level up!"

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the cave immediately became lively again.

The Pig-headed Knight grinned, slinging the meter-long knife over his shoulder, and indecently scraped his scaly lips with a long, forked tongue.

"I'm all set!"

However, just as he slung the knife over his shoulder, a ground-shaking tremor suddenly came from outside the cave.

Rocks crumbled down, and the four players' faces changed drastically.

"What's going on?!"

The Pigman suddenly looked towards the cave entrance, while Hu Wan instantly stepped out with "Gale Step," transforming into a shadow darting towards the cave's entrance.

And just as he stood outside the cave, the scene before his eyes left him completely dumbfounded and speechless.

This is—

What the hell?!

Before him, a red giant was walking across the barren Wilderness, each step leaving a massive footprint, accompanied by the ground's sorrowful wail.

But that wasn't what surprised him the most.

The most surprising was the pus-filled blisters on the Giant's body, spewing out endless swarms of Kao young beasts!

Those clawed little demons, like rolling sludge, rushed towards the mountain from all directions.

During the little break they took for dinner, they've already been surrounded by monsters!

The monster seemed to have noticed him, its crimson pupils glowing ominously, a murderous intent like a tangible entity rushing towards him!

Unfortunately, there was no saliva in his mouth.

Hu Wan could only gulp down a mouthful of cold air, the traps around the cave entrance gave him no sense of security.

Faced with such scale and size, all struggles seemed pale and powerless—

Fear relentlessly tore at his nerves until a powerful voice came from behind, hammering on his skull like an iron hammer.

"Dispel!"

Clang—!

Accompanied by a soft chime echoing within his skull, Hu Wan awoke from the nightmare, the negative emotions weighed on his heart vanished instantly!

"You were affected by the Fear Technique." Yiye Zhiqu stepped out from the darkness, his Dual Hand Sticks emitting a ghostly green light.

Hu Wan indeed felt much better, gave him a grateful look.

"Thanks!"

This game is not only incredibly realistic in the experience of Extraordinary Power—

Even the effects of negative states can be technically replicated... though the sensory experience for the players is weakened.

Hu Wan simply couldn't imagine what it would be like without the sensory dulling process.

Yet, there are still people on the forums clamoring for a 500% sensory enhancement mode, wouldn't that directly scare you into cardiac arrest?

They're simply crazy!

"You're welcome."

Yiye Zhiqu shifted his gaze to the distant giant, the Soul Fire within his skull flickering slightly like wild grass swaying on the Wilderness.

Elite Monster?

BOSS?

Or a monster temporarily edited by the cunning planners to suppress progress?

Whichever it was, its invisible aura far exceeded his past experience and knowledge.

Even without knowing its Level, he could feel it was definitely not an opponent he could easily defeat, at least a Gold Level!

Undoubtedly—

This would be a tough battle!

There's no time to hesitate!

Yiye Zhiqu forcefully drove his Dual Hand Sticks into the ground, dark green Magic Light emerged from his feet, forming a Magic Array.

While preparing to cast, he shouted loudly.

"Open the raid—! Cover me!"

"Awoo—!"

As soon as his words fell, the Pig-headed Knight howled and charged out first. Waving his Slaughter Knife like a whirlwind, slashing left and right, he cut down all those less-than-a-meter tall, yet to fully develop Kao battle beasts to the ground!
