Chapter 660: Why Does It Keep Getting Bigger?
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The entire Reversal Hotpot City had once again completed a new round of upgrades!
Giant pipelines crisscrossed the entire city, leading to various residential areas and then branching out to each household.
However, there was something peculiar.
The hot springs for the ancient people were not built inside their houses, but rather on their rooftops.
What's even more curious was that the hot springs closer to the central plaza were built lower, while the ones farther away were built higher. Throughout the Reversal Hotpot City, numerous hot spring pools of all sizes formed a massive incline, with the inner pools lower and the outer ones higher.
"Why is the hot spring pool designed like this?"
"Who knows? Don't you feel like the design of this hot spring pool... is kind of like spectator seating?"
"Now that you mention it, it does seem that way!"
...
Players who finished the construction looked at the hot spring pools of various sizes. At a glance, it seemed like numerous spectator seating arrangements, and they were all luxurious ones.
However, soon, everyone turned their gaze to the sky.
"Boom!!!" Accompanied by eerie sounds, the sky of the ancient era gradually revealed strange brown ripples. These ripples centered around a crimson sun and spread continuously!
Just like the previous drought disaster of hunger, the brown ripples easily penetrated the roofs of the Wood Release houses and appeared before everyone's eyes.
"It's here!" Players instinctively activated their Qingdi Eternal Life and Level 650 Purgatory True Demon powers, surrounding themselves with energy!
Unfortunately...
Those brown ripples still effortlessly passed through their bodies!
"Ah ah ah!"
"This feels awful..."
"What's happening..."
...
Suddenly, both the ancient people and players felt waves of discomfort.
With over five million ancient people, various symptoms quickly emerged. Some began to have fevers, some experienced blurred vision, while others suffered from splitting headaches.
"Quick, the benefactors said that once symptoms appear, we should immediately enter the Eternal Life Hot Spring!!!" Many ancient people shouted, and they quickly entered the hot springs.
"Splash!" Soon, streams of life force flowed into the bodies of these ancient people.
"Ah, my headache is gone..."
"Phew, my fever is subsiding..."
"I can see clearly now..."
...
The ancient people were amazed to find that after entering the Eternal Life Hot Spring, the force of life continuously permeated their bodies. It awakened their latent potential, allowing them to quickly cure the diseases that the plague had imposed upon them.
Moreover, this wasn't a matter of forcefully expelling the diseases using external power; rather, it was about utilizing the ancient people's inherent potential and vitality to combat and eliminate these illnesses.
In other words...
Once an ancient person experienced and cured a disease, they developed immunity to it. They wouldn't be affected by the same disease again!
This was the true power of the pseudo-spiritual technique, Eternal Life, which far surpassed typical methods of curing diseases.
And also...
"They've even built hot pots in these hot spring pools?"
"There's Ice Spirit Wine here too!"
"My goodness, these benefactors not only gave us hope for survival, but they've also provided us with a chance to enjoy hot pot while soaking in the hot springs and sipping Ice Spirit Wine?"
...
The ancient people were shocked! Then they were moved.
These benefactors were truly too kind to them!
During the Great Flood Disaster, they fought for us at the cost of their lives!
During the Drought Disaster of Hunger, they gave us their Essence and nurtured us with their power!
During the Ice Disaster of Cambrian, they even burned their own bodies to provide us warmth!
And now, facing the plague disaster, they not only provided the Eternal Life Hot Spring but also attached hot pots and Ice Spirit Wine?
Overwhelmed by emotion, the ancient people soaked in the cozy hot springs, enjoyed small hot pots, and sipped Ice Spirit Wine with an aura lasting 82 hours!
Ah!
How amazing!
All of this was pure happiness!
In the sky, waves of ripples continuously spread, introducing one disease after another, afflicting the ancient people.
However, as long as they possessed the Eternal Life Hot Spring, the ancient people endured the ordeal with their tenacious vitality.
However...
"Damn, is this plague disaster poisonous? What the heck!"
"What's going on?"
"Damn, how did the designers come up with this? Bring them out, I want to beat them to death!"
...
The players from the third beta were about to explode with anger!
There was no other reason!
Because the power of the plague diseases' ripples that continuously spread didn't cause fever, blindness, or any other symptoms for the first and second beta players. It was because they had a power of artistic conception to protect them, blocking most of the bacterial invasion. Furthermore, as long as they possessed the Qingdi Eternal Life, they could automatically release Eternal Life, continuously dispelling diseases, poisons, curses, and other effects from their bodies!
So...
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry. If Eternal Life can cure the ancient people, it can certainly cure us too! Watch closely as I activate Eternal Life! Everything will be easily managed!" With a smug smile, players from the third beta activated their pseudo-spiritual technique, Eternal Life.
The next moment...
After the power of Eternal Life spread out and brought a sense of comfort to the players, they felt something strange.
However...
"???" Players looked into mirrors and saw...
"What the hell! Why?" The heads of players from the third beta were still big!
The worst part was...
"Sizzle, sizzle..." Green life force actually lingered on top of the heads of players from the third beta, turning into a green light that could be seen clearly from a hundred kilometers away. Faintly, it took the shape of a hat.
"This is bad! Everyone, stop..." Players from the third beta hastily tried to stop each other.
However...
They were still a step too late.
All players from the third beta activated Eternal Life in a hurry!
The result...
All of them ended up like the first one, Player Time Traveler. Not only was their "big-headedness" not cured, but the light of the green hat also circulated above each of their heads!
"Damn, how do we get rid of this thing?"
"Yeah, get rid of it quickly!"
"It's so disgusting. How did these designers come up with this? Damn them all!!!"
...
Players from the third beta were all driven to frustration.
"Everyone, don't panic. Let me analyze the situation!" At this moment, Theorist walked over with his enlarged head.
After a thorough analysis, Theorist quickly drew a conclusion.
"I got it! This plague disaster should be a special kind of bacterial invasion!"
"The major players of the first and second beta weren't affected because they have the protection of the Artistic Conception Power, which blocked most of the bacterial invasions. Furthermore, with the Qingdi Eternal Life, they can automatically sustain the Eternal Life and continuously dispel various diseases, poisonings, curses, and similar effects within their bodies!"
"So..." Theorist calmly explained.
"To sum up..."
"This plague disaster first attacks the weakest point of our defense, or in other words..."
"Our weakest link..."
"Which is our heads!"
...
Theorist smoothly arrived at a conclusion.
"???" Heads of all players from the third beta tilted.
"Damn, are you implying that we're all idiots?" The next moment, all players from the third beta exploded in anger!
