Chapter 77: The World Tree Game Has Launched!

The largest exam on the internet had begun, with millions of netizens downloading the test paper to answer its strange questions.

“If I entered the world of the Gods, what should I do first?”

“Isn’t it obvious? First, I’d find a kind-hearted goddess to kneel before! I’m going to worship her and spread the gospel!”

“I think it’s better to establish my own reputation and power among humans first.”

Some netizens gathered on forums to discuss, but what was written on the test paper were their true thoughts.

In the shadows, various hastily formed research groups on “All Realms” were in a flurry, constantly strategizing.

This time, it was clear: do you want to enter another world? Do you want a chance at immortality?

Come on! The opportunity is here! Let’s see how you vie for it.

Many top wealthy individuals eagerly formed their own teams to analyze the test paper, even offering public rewards: $1 billion to anyone who creates a perfect answer sheet. They could offer more if needed.

However, so far, everyone was urgently answering, and not a single accurate answer was delivered.

Or rather, there was fundamentally no answer! Even if the answers were identical, the producer estimated they would only select one.

A national craze! Netizens memorized the hundreds of words on the test paper again and again.

Some people saw profit and quickly printed various analysis materials.

Titles like “I Analyze the All-Realms Test Paper,” “All-Realms Test Paper: From Entry to Mastery,” “Five Years in the Primordial World, Three in Another Realm,” and “In-Depth Analysis of Hidden Intentions Behind the Test Paper” amused Jiang Ping greatly. He never expected so many people would jump at the chance to make money. In fact, if they put in a bit more effort, energy points could serve as a more efficient selection method, but simplicity is the essence of the Dao.

Indeed, one shouldn’t underestimate the myriad characters surrounding the test paper. As long as it had substance, whether via video streams or book sales, their popularity was through the roof! Especially those who had ventured into the Primordial World; their words held greater sway.

This time, the number of participants exceeded Jiang Ping’s expectations. Staring at countless “99999999+” on the forum, he felt a headache. Even though his calculation ability surpassed the previous, reviewing and evaluating still required much mental effort.

Unfortunately, Genesis was not designed for such functionality, and its supportive abilities were limited. In that moment, Jiang Ping fantasized about getting a quantum computer or something like a light brain from the future. He felt creating ten great worlds was simpler than grading these papers.

Jiang Ping, feeling like a tool, suddenly recalled a saying circulating online: Money is hard to earn, *but easy to lose.

He wanted to exploit the netizens’ potential without wasting resources, so this was how it had to be!

However, among the mundane answers, there were indeed bright spots, and that became his motivation to continue grading.

“What? In the other world, raise the crimson flag and awaken the human spirit of democracy? Dare to call for a new day?”

Jiang Ping’s mouth twitched. Great ambitions came with even greater risks! With River Crabs and divine beasts suppressing the myriad realms, who would dare defy?

“Send them back!”

“Hmm? This one’s interesting. They actually want to focus solely on swordsmanship? Learned swordsmanship since childhood? Let’s see.”

Upon seeing an intriguing answer sheet, Jiang Ping decided to cheat a bit and see how the person performed.

Rixiang, a neon cherry blossom girl, had a family-owned dojo and was trained since childhood by her grandfather, mastering various sword styles. According to him, in the past, she would have been a sword saint.

Not bad; an 18-year-old cutie. Let’s give her a chance.

Let’s hope she doesn’t turn out like that one dark loli from the Primordial World, just wanting to play around while being devilishly cunning, always speaking in riddles.

Obi, a legendary archer, very famous online. After watching his videos, Jiang Ping nodded. He had perfected all ancient archery techniques, but most importantly, he genuinely loved archery. This pure-hearted passion was just like Rixiang’s—so Jiang Ping felt they were a great match.

Tossing out a net, Jiang Ping discovered an abundance of talent worldwide. He selected one gifted individual from each type—these ten could be the cream of the crop. Maybe in a different environment, they’d achieve greatness.

Of course, Jiang Ping was human too. Sometimes, he would prefer one candidate over another due to personal biases.

Soon, ten invitation letters were dispatched. “All Realms: The World Tree” would go live tomorrow, inviting them to embark on an adventure! In a dojo in Neon Country, a girl couldn’t help but check her computer again for replies. When she saw the game account invitation, she smiled.

Events like this were happening in every corner of the world. This night was destined to be sleepless. The next day, countless people with dark circles under their eyes blinked steadily at the gaming forum, their left hands hammering F5 to refresh, until a new game announcement finally appeared!

The announcement, not too late: “First, we thank everyone for your enthusiastic participation! The number of sign-ups exceeded the producer’s expectations; many have exceptional talents.

“But, of course, slots are limited and funds are finite. After meticulous selection, the producer has chosen ten lucky individuals to participate in the game ‘All Realms: The World Tree.’

“For those not selected, don’t be disheartened! Your intentions have indeed been received! In the next game launch, prioritization will be given to players from this pool! Next time for sure! A gentle reminder: answer the test honestly! Any deceitful answers will result in immediate disqualification! Cherish this opportunity. So congratulations to the ten lucky ones! ‘All Realms: The World Tree’ will officially launch today at noon! Last reminder: cherish your game life!”

“—A producer worn out from grading papers.”

Everyone read the announcement repeatedly, almost reiterating each sentence over ten times. The ten lucky individuals had been selected, but the officials hadn’t revealed who they’d chosen. The game would start at noon! “So envious it’s pathetic! Did those traitors receive invitation letters!”

“Waaah! I clearly stayed up filling out the test honestly! Could there really be so many geniuses?”

“To the ten greats, I don’t ask for much; just tell us how you filled out the answer sheets! It would help us all learn something for the future!”

Continuous wails echoed, but everyone had become clever and wasn’t readily revealing their identities anymore; at most, they anonymously replied.

Haruka: “Honestly, I just answered truthfully. Everyone should listen to the producer and not falsify answers.”

Several lucky ones appeared, providing only honest answers without revealing their true identities, making it impossible for others to gather more information, squashing any plans for futile discussions.

Soon, noon arrived, and “All Realms: The World Tree” officially went online! The colossal tree icon suddenly came to life.

Without hesitation, the ten players clicked. *Click*! A magical door opened for them, revealing a fantastical dream world. “Don’t forget to stream, greats, so we can have a look!”

“Waaah! So envious! I want to play a hyper-realistic game too!”

“It’s all on you! Don’t disappoint the producer this time like in the Primordial World! He’ll be furious, and it could be dire! I’d hate to never have a chance to enter another world again!”

Cheers erupted on the forum as everyone eagerly awaited those ten brave souls to showcase the exotic charms of another realm, hoping to find cultivation techniques that could enhance their strength!

Jiang Ping sat on the sofa, equally looking forward to the performance of these ten players.

“Genesis, project the Hill World onto the TV screen.”
