...
As He Yiming released the new mission, many players erupted into an uproar once again!
"Holy crap, aren't these rewards way too damn insane?!"
"Forget the exclusive titles and robes—damn it, there are exclusive sets too?! These are real items that actually boost strength!"
"Wake up, there are 2 Apostles and 1 vessel, which means at most only 3 people can get the rewards!"
"Hahaha, if I kill both Apostles and rescue the vessel, wouldn't I get three sets? Rotating them would feel amazing!"
"I'm dying laughing—at your level, you'll be beaten into crap by an Apostle, okay?"
"Finally, it's time for me to unleash my true strength and use my secret trump card! Guawa—slurp!"
After reading the mission rewards, the players all exploded with excitement, wishing they could instantly teleport to Ten Thousand Beast City and start wrecking things.
"Set out!" As He Yiming murmured softly, the players and more than ten thousand non-human race warriors shouted in unison, all rising into the air and heading toward Ten Thousand Beast City.
At the same time…
Imperial River Domain.
"Everyone's basically here, right? Huh? We're just missing Brother Show-Off? Where did Brother Show-Off run off to?" The Times Have Changed checked the roster.
Most of the first beta test and second beta test veterans had already returned, while some had followed Brother Ming to Ten Thousand Beast City.
At this moment, the players gathered at the initial camp were all extremely excited.
After all, even though Brother Ming wasn't here, the system's mission pop-up could still be accepted.
This was freaking awesome!
"Hahaha, my strength is no longer what it used to be!"
"Exactly! This plot arrangement is just perfect—first I encounter an opportunity and get a huge power boost, then smoothly roll into an ultra-strong dungeon with the Evil God's descent, paired with this legendary mission. Isn't this basically giving me a chance to steal the spotlight?"
"Brothers, don't panic! Even though the first beta test and second beta test veterans got stronger from opportunities, we third beta test players can stick together, right?!"
...
The players chattered nonstop, every one of them brimming with excitement.
Just at this moment…
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!" Accompanied by dazzling nine streams of light, a figure slowly descended from the sky!
It was—
Beef Noodles!
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap!"
...
All the players were completely dumbfounded.
Behind Beef Noodles, nine-colored light blotted out the sky, constantly shifting, like an oversized RGB breathing-light effect.
Behind Beef Noodles were one hundred and eight pairs of gigantic nine-colored wings!
Don't ask why there were so many wings!
That's how arrogant I am, that's how much I can do whatever I want!
"All you little trash mobs, this venerable one is Heavenly Dao Noodles! I have come specially to take you to Ten Thousand Beast City!" Beef Noodles' majestic voice rang out as he looked down from above, filled with absolute superiority and domineering presence.
"Holy crap, Brother Noodles is shameless beyond belief!"
"Damn it, so many wings—this is toxic, seriously toxic!"
"Ahhh, the lights are flashing too damn hard, my eyes are about to go blind!"
...
Below, the players were in complete chaos, most of them furious.
Damn it, why does Brother Noodles get to go off and show off solo, and somehow just keep getting stronger?
I worked my ass off slacking, joking around, logging off to eat and drink and live like a salted fish—how am I still worse than Brother Noodles?
The first beta test and second beta test players hadn't even spoken yet.
The third beta test human players all moved together.
"Ahhh, Heavenly Dao Noodles daddy, we're willing to submit!"
"Daddy Noodles, please give us a Heavenly Tribulation Intent card!"
"Daddy! I knew all along that Daddy was invincible—come on, give your son one first!"
...
The third beta test human players didn't hesitate at all—calling him "dad" one after another, they all raised their small hands in unison, palms up, waiting for Beef Noodles to give them a bowl of beef noodles.
Everyone understood exactly what "bowl of beef noodles" meant.
Beef Noodles: "???"
I was just flexing a bit while giving you a ride to Ten Thousand Beast City, and now you all want to become my sons and jack me off?
Too shameless!
Too trashy!
"Heavenly Tribulation Style!!!"
"Nine-Colored Heavenly Tribulation Flying Boat!!!"
...
Beef Noodles didn't waste any words. Time really was tight, so with a thought, he suddenly shouted!
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!"
In the next instant, the power of the Nine-Colored Heavenly Tribulation twisted in midair and transformed into a gigantic flying boat thousands of meters long!
The speed of this flying boat was who knew how many times faster than flying boats forged by human cultivators at the Divine Artifact level—it simply wasn't even the same category of existence!
"Holy crap!"
"Damn, is the Heavenly Tribulation Style really this busted?"
"I get it now—anything with the word 'Heavenly' in it is just one thing: absurdly overpowered!"
"Daddy, please take your son flying with you!"
"Brother Noodles, I—I want to learn the Heavenly Tribulation Style from you!"
"Brother Noodles, are you selling your account? I'll buy it!!!"
...
The players instantly exploded into chaos, every single one of them boiling with excitement, yelling nonstop. Even the Nine-Colored Heavenly Tribulation itself was dumbfounded by the scene.
Lord Heavenly Dao Noodles had personally come to pick up these human beings…
Setting strength aside—
Every single one of them was a kind of bizarre existence the Nine-Colored Heavenly Tribulation had never seen in countless years!
Next, the players boarded the Nine-Colored Heavenly Tribulation Flying Boat in an orderly fashion.
However, The Times Have Changed, went to find Beef Noodles and told him about the situation with If You Don't Show Off at the Beginning, You Lose Half the Game.
"Huh? Brother Show-Off isn't here?" Beef Noodles froze.
Brother Ming's instructions were to pick up all the players!
Missing even one wouldn't do!
And the key point was—
"Brother Show-Off has, since ancient times, been my big brother. Don't panic—I'll personally go pick him up!" Beef Noodles thumped his chest and said with hot-blooded passion.
"While I'm at it, asking for two BMWs as a tip sounds pretty reasonable too," Beef Noodles thought to himself quietly.
Thus, everyone boarded the Nine-Colored Heavenly Tribulation Flying Boat and headed toward Ten Thousand Beast City first.
Meanwhile, Beef Noodles took a portion of the split-off Nine-Colored Heavenly Tribulation and went to find If You Don't Show Off at the Beginning, You Lose Half the Game.
The speed at which Heavenly Tribulations searched for someone was truly heaven-defying!
They very quickly found If You Don't Show Off at the Beginning, You Lose Half the Game!
"Have you comprehended it?"
"Comprehend your dad! Aaaahhh!"
"Have you comprehended it?"
"I'll beat you to death, you damn monkey! Aaaahhh!"
"Have you comprehended it?"
"Is this damn game targeting me on purpose?! I'm going to buy this company and beat the planner who designed this monkey to death—aaaahh!!!"
...
When Beef Noodles found If You Don't Show Off at the Beginning, You Lose Half the Game, he saw an old monkey swinging a wooden staff, pinning him to the ground and beating him like a son.
Too miserable!
It was truly too miserable!
With the power of forty-eight demonic marks, If You Don't Show Off at the Beginning, You Lose Half the Game had absolutely no ability to fight back against this monkey!
It was downright evil!
"So it's a Yao Spirit!!!" At this moment, the Nine-Colored Heavenly Tribulation suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"What the hell is that?" Beef Noodles was stunned.
"Yao Spirits are extremely ancient existences! According to the memories within me, Yao Spirits are beings from before the Primordial Era! They were once annihilated by external forces, and afterward, some extremely heaven-defying existences remained behind in the form of Yao Spirits!"
"So-called Yao Spirits are a kind of obsession! They are the unwilling obsessions of those heaven-defying beings from before the Primordial Era! These obsessions have persisted for countless ages without dissipating, and instead have grown stronger with time! Some Yao Spirits cannot even be shaken in the slightest by us Heavenly Tribulation—we can only allow them to exist!"
...
The Nine-Colored Heavenly Tribulation explained.
"So that means Brother Show-Off's opportunity is this Yao Spirit? That's insane!" Beef Noodles' eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise it.
However, at this very moment, an unexpected change occurred!
"The appointed time has arrived, yet you still have not comprehended it. This can only mean one extremely terrifying fact…"
The old monkey slowly put away the wooden staff and looked at If You Don't Show Off at the Beginning, You Lose Half the Game.
"!"
If You Don't Show Off at the Beginning, You Lose Half the Game was also startled and looked up.
Could it be that…
"You're not the person I'm waiting for. It seems I knocked on the wrong door! My apologies for the disturbance!"
After speaking slowly, the old monkey turned around and vanished.
If You Don't Show Off at the Beginning, You Lose Half the Game: "???"
