The first player to complete the pre-missions had a game ID called Late Night Poisoning. He didn’t have a high level. He was only level 32.
The reason why he was able to complete the pre-missions before everyone else was entirely because he particularly loved doing the daily missions. He had completed almost all the daily missions in the five major cities across the empire.
The prerequisite for going to Bewatt Star was 99 daily missions.
Each of these daily missions wasn’t difficult, but it became a headache when the number accumulated to a certain level.
Therefore, for players like Late Night Poisoning who liked to do the daily missions, their advantages were immediately apparent. He knew exactly which NPC lived in which place in the main city and what missions he could get from each NPC.
Even the local Roland residents weren’t as knowledgeable as him.
Since he had made one or two trips there before, the NPCS had an impression of him and had a higher favorability towards him than others. Thus, they were more willing to give him missions.
This allowed him to complete the prerequisite mission ahead of all the bigshots!
It was said that the fastest player after him had only reached the 70s in terms of completion. With his super high efficiency, he could definitely come up with a complete set of strategies and earn points on the forum.
Judging from the feedback from the barrage, most players were also looking forward to him releasing a guide like this.
Since the pass obtained from this pre-mission was time-limited, this might mean they would have to continue doing this chain of missions later.
However, they had to wait until Late Night Poisoning explored Bewatt Star before he could compile the strategy.
At this moment, Late Night Poisoning was full of anticipation.
He would be the first player to set foot in Bewatt Star! Thinking back to the scene when Si Sheng swept through the Bewatt Administrative Hall that day, he felt his blood boiling.
Bewatt, here he came! Tremble, lizardmen!
However, after the familiar white light of the teleportation circle lit up, he felt himself trapped in darkness. There were no lights around him and he couldn’t see anything.
“What is the situation? Who turned off the lights?”
Late Night Poisoning tentatively raised his hand and waved it around, but didn’t touch anything real.
“Is there anyone here? Lizardmen, give me your life!”
He shouted several slogans in the darkness, but heard no response. It seemed that he was the only one around.
“No way, I am locked up in a small dark room right after teleporting?”
Late Night Poisoning was confused. If it wasn’t for the colorful barrage of comments, he might’ve been scared now.
It was really dark!
He couldn’t see anything! He was so scared!
At this time, he followed the advice of the barrage. He looked at the status bar and found that he wasn’t in a special scene.
This seemed to be a very ordinary place.
So what should he do next? Should he grope his way out of the darkness?
Since he was the first player to complete the pre-missions and head to Bewatt Star, many people were attracted to him and watched the live broadcast while running around to do the daily missions.
Seeing that he was in trouble, many people stopped, watched curiously and helped him find a solution.
After all, this was pioneering a wasteland. There was someone exploring the way ahead, so when setting out, they could avoid a lot of detours.
As a result, Late Night Poisoning was just about to buy a lighting fixture from the system mall when a line of text appeared in the void in front of him.
[You are on an interstellar journey. The destination is Bewatt Star.]
[Please select the landing location.]
After these two lines appeared, a huge map of the planet appeared in front of him.
The map emitted a faint fluorescence and was still clearly visible in the darkness.
Late Night Poisoning’s eyes lit up when he saw this map.
It turned out he hadn’t finished the teleportation yet!
Just as he was about to make a choice, a line of text appeared above the map again.
[The personal score of Bewatt Star is detected to be 0. The available maps are as follows:]
After this line of text, most of the dots on the originally bright map suddenly dimmed, leaving only a few dots scattered in various areas.
Late Night Poisoning was stunned for a moment but didn’t take it to heart. After all, he didn’t know what the locations on the map meant. It was his first time opening a new area, so it didn’t matter where he landed.
“Brothers, which one should we choose?”
He took a quick glance and felt that they were all similar. There was no other information on the map.
[Then just pick one at random?]
[Is this not explained? This mission looks so confusing.]
[Isn’t this the fun of exploration?]
[How about this? Brother Poison, take a picture of this map and post it on the forum. Whoever completes the pre-mission and passes through a certain area can mark it on the map. This will make it easier to open up new areas.]
[This is a good idea. After all, it is an entire planet. It won’t work if we just rely on our own strength.]
Late Night Poisoning thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case.
Therefore, he took a picture of the map. Then he went to the forum and posted a message. He chose the leftmost dot on the map.
Once confirmed, all the other parts of the map on the light curtain faded away except for the one he had selected.
[You have selected Bewatt Star-Bet City. You are being teleported.]
[Warning. Only inanimate objects can be transported through the universe. The teleportation has failed. Please choose again.]
Late Night Poisoning couldn’t help being stunned when he saw this system notification.
F*k! It could only teleport inanimate objects? How could this work?
[Please teleport within three minutes or you will be kicked out of the interstellar channel.]
“F*k, everyone, what should I do? How do I turn myself into an inanimate object?”
Late Night Poisoning was in such a panic that he turned around. “Oh right, card master!”
“Is it true that the only way to teleport is to turn yourself into a card? Cards are inanimate objects!”
“But where can I find a card master now? Has Goddess Qing Yan learned the skill of transforming others into a card? But how can I get in here after I become a card?”
Late Night Poisoning kept spinning in the same place. More than a minute had already passed on the countdown on the light curtain.
Xiao Wu, who was hiding behind the scenes, looked at the anxious Late Night Poisoning and also felt very anxious.
How could this guy be so stupid? It suggested that he couldn’t be alive, so why not kill himself?
Finally, when the countdown was at 10 seconds, a player in the barrage gave the correct answer.
[Late Night Poisoning, go and kill yourself!]
[Yes, see if the corpse can be teleported over!]
Since their bodies could be eaten by interstellar beasts after they were dead, was there any reason why they couldn’t be teleported?
“Yes, that’s right!”
The moment the countdown of Late Night Poisoning reached the last three seconds, he finally ended his life and fell to the ground as a corpse.
The countdown reached 0 and he remained in the passage. Everyone, including Xiao Wu, couldn’t help sighing with relief.
He might’ve died without making a choice, which was a bit inconsistent with the process, but Xiao Wu didn’t care about such details.
He didn’t know why his brother insisted on letting them discover on their own that they could only be teleported as corpses rather than telling them directly.
However, it was quite amusing to see this brave scratch his head.
Xiao Wu directly controlled the fixed-point teleporter. After it was turned on, the room that was originally plunged into darkness was soon flooded with white light. The white light disappeared and the corpse of Late Night Poisoning also disappeared.
Bewatt, the outskirts of Bet City.
Somewhere deep in the desolate desert, where it seemed impossible for ordinary people to survive, a spot of light suddenly appeared in the air. Once the light dissipated, something appeared.
This thing fell from mid-air and landed in a pile of sand, raising a cloud of dust that scared away several sand snakes.
“What is it?”
In the desert, there were voices communicating.
“I can’t see it clearly. Do you want to go over and take a look?” Another voice appeared.
“Will there be any danger?”
“Danger? Can it be more dangerous than the lizardmen?”
“Let’s wait and see. Don’t be impulsive.”
The two voices argued for a while before falling silent. After a long time, seeing that the thing that fell in the distance hadn’t moved, the two voices started to communicate again.
“It seems there is really no danger.”
“Then let’s go and take a look?”
After a moment of silence, the slightly steady voice finally spoke. “Then go and take a look. Be careful.”
Suddenly, a small sand dune rose and then another.
There were two small sand dunes, probably the size of a human palm. They moved cautiously one after the other towards the deep pit in the distance.
They were cautious but moved quickly. Soon, they arrived at the sand pit.
The two voices communicated again.
“It looks like a dead body,” the steady voice said with some contemplation.
“What type of animal is this? I’ve never seen a corpse like this! He doesn’t even have a tail!”
The lively voice asked, “Why did he fall from the sky? How did he die? Is it related to the lizardmen?”
“Not sure,” the steady voice replied. “Could it be a cosmic creature like the lizardmen?”
The soul of Late Night Poisoning was floating in the air. Since it took half an hour to resurrect after death, he could only communicate with the live broadcast barrage to pass the time.
Fortunately, this was a desert and didn’t seem too dangerous.
To be honest, he was shocked when the teleportation was successful. No one expected that interstellar travel would require such a special method!
Before teleporting, they had to die first? It was outrageous!
It took half an hour for a player to be resurrected. If the body was damaged after being teleported, the player could only return to the city to be resurrected. Didn’t this mean it would be game over from the beginning?
However, the players’ wisdom in finding loopholes was beyond imagination. They were instantly inspired and thought of an alternative use of this method.
Could they put the bodies of their companions into the storage compartment, take them to Bewatt Star and then release them?
In this way, they didn’t need to work hard to get the pass! They could also explore in groups, which instantly improved the safety and efficiency by several times.
Late Night Poisoning couldn’t help sighing that all players were talented, but this method was definitely beneficial to him.
It was because he could use his pass to help ‘smuggle’ players who didn’t want to run the daily missions, earning some extra money!
In the barrage, someone had already tried to find out how to put the player’s corpse into the storage compartment. Late Night Poisoning wasn’t in a rush and waited for someone else’s strategy. The result was…
Suddenly, he heard two small voices discussing him. Initially, he was a bit scared. This was until—
“But he is dead.”
The lively voice said, “The lizardmen have eggs, but he doesn’t.”
“Yes,” the steady voice agreed. “He has no eggs, so there shouldn’t be any danger.”
Late Night Poisoning, “……”
