C137 The Great Cause Of The Village!

Chen Guo remarked, "This system is pushing us all to overextend ourselves. I've seen through its cunning ploys, but the rewards it offers are just too enticing. We need to act fast and secure our top spot before anyone else does."

Zhou Tao agreed, "Absolutely. We were the first to claim the Gate of Myriad Realms. It would be a real shame if we let that lead slip away."

Without delay, Chen Guo led the group, employing the Flying Thunder God Art to return to Cruel Camp.

Having received prior instructions from Chen Guo, Zhao Jinrong quickly rallied all the villagers, instructing them to join hands. Chen Guo was determined to transport them back to Beginner Village 996 in one fell swoop.

The mass teleportation using the Flying Thunder God Art would consume a significant amount of mana. Luckily, Chen Guo had the Origin Pill at his disposal, and fortunately, Beginner Village 996 wasn't too far from Genius Camp.

Around 3000 mana points should suffice for the task.

The organizational skills of the Sky Silkworm Battalion were impressive; they managed to survive in such a brutal environment. Within minutes, over a thousand villagers were linked hand in hand, ready for Chen Guo to teleport them.

"Flying Thunder God Art!"

With a mere thought, Chen Guo activated the art, depleting 3500 mana points in an instant. He then transported the large group through the vastness of space, arriving at Beginner Village 996.

"Boss Guangcheng and his crew have arrived!"

"Boss Guangcheng has accomplished so much! He's recruited over a thousand NPCs and was the first to secure the Gate of Myriad Realms. He's undeniably the rightful Village Chief of Beginner Village 996!"

"Indeed. Under Boss Guangcheng's leadership, our Beginner Village 996 is destined to be the strongest in the world, bar none!"

At that moment, trial challengers from all corners of Beginner Village 996 received the news and converged on the village center.

Their hearts swelled with excitement and an ineffable sense of pride.

The start for Beginner Village 996 wasn't easy; when compared to the more formidable Beginner Villages, most of their villagers were just ordinary folks.

Even though they weren't the absolute weakest among the myriad Beginner Villages globally, they were still considered lower-tier, barely noticeable in the grand scheme of things.

Boss Guangcheng's rise to prominence catapulted the 996 Beginner Village to fame. Now, it's not just one of the strongest Beginner Villages globally—it's easily in the top tier, boasting numerous first-place achievements.

Upon awakening, the denizens of Cruel Camp found themselves within the 996 Beginner Village, keenly taking in their new surroundings. This was to be their home from now on.

996 Beginner Village wasn't a place of glitz and glamour. Its buildings were mostly stone, yet far from decrepit.

Simple, yes, but well-planned. The high standards of modern society were evident here—the village was well-kept, free of litter and waste.

"Is this Flame Dragon Village? The environment is so much better, and there are plenty of people. It's brimming with life."

"Will this be our home from now on? It's truly a nice place!"

"Everyone here looks healthy and happy. Their lives seem so much better than ours. Living together in this village, we're sure to have better days ahead."

The NPCs were abuzz with hope for the future.

Zhao Jinrong was overjoyed, grateful for his decision to follow Chen Guo, which had led him and his people to a promising future.

The 996 Beginner Village leaders gathered around Chen Guo, their eyes shining with expectation.

This was, without a doubt, a thrilling moment.

Chen Guo announced, "I've secured the Gate of Myriad Realms. Once it's in place, we'll complete the main quest, and our 996 Beginner Village will be the first to do so. The rewards will be substantial. Where do you think the Gate should be installed?"

Zhou Tao suggested, "Let's place the Gate of Myriad Realms at the village's heart. It should be the first thing anyone sees when they enter or leave. It's not just our pride; it's the village's very soul."

Chen Guo pondered for a moment before saying with a smile, "The Gate of Myriad Realms should be placed right in the heart of the village."

With that, Chen Guo made his way to the village's central square, asking the trial challengers and villagers to clear the area. He then produced the Desolate Ancient Scripture and began to recite an incantation.

With a thunderous roar, the Gate of Myriad Realms rose majestically in the very center of Beginner Village.

"System Announcement: The Heavenly Warrior has become the first to install the Gate of Myriad Realms in Beginner Village, representing the village as the first trial challenger to complete the main storyline mission. With the sky showering blossoms and the earth sprouting golden lotuses, let's give him a round of applause!!!"

"System Announcement: Beginner Village has achieved the main storyline mission, activating its attributes, naming rights, and safe zone properties. Additionally, an extra 30% has been added to its attributes."

"Beginner Village Attributes: Your Beginner Village is now a safe zone, immune to monster attacks except under specific conditions. Within this safe zone, the regeneration rate for HP and mana is increased by 70%. Your Beginner Village boasts a Defense of 100,000, Growth Value of 100,000, Development Value of 100,000, and Money of 100,000!"

"As the first-place Beginner Village, attributes have been boosted by 30%. Being within the top 100, an additional 20% increase is granted, culminating in a total attribute boost of 50%. The current attributes of Beginner Village are as follows—Defense: 150,000, Growth Value: 150,000, Development Value: 150,000, Money: 150,000..."

"The Defense value fortifies your village's defenses. Should anyone attack your village with ill intent, they cannot breach it until the Defense value is depleted."

"The Growth Value represents your village's potential for expansion. The higher the Growth Value, the greater the likelihood of expanding your village into a town, a nation, an empire, or even a world."

"The Development Value can be spent to enhance the village's resources and buildings. The more Development Value you have, the more thriving and prosperous your village will become!"

"Money! It speaks to the divine, empowers the spectral, and is the eternal theme of the world. The wealth a village possesses can be spent to upgrade its facilities—a poor village is far from a strong one!"

"The aforementioned four attributes will fluctuate with the villagers' endeavors. Both combat and production will bolster these attributes, but should the villagers suffer excessive losses, their attributes will diminish. Recruiting more villagers, on the other hand, will enhance your attributes accordingly."

The system's barrage of prompts captured the attention of people worldwide. Now, anyone of sound mind could grasp the pattern of the village's development.

Beginner Village 996—what a royally auspicious start!
