Dream World is vast, its total area may even surpass the land area of Blue Star.
This has become a consensus over time.
After more than ten days of dream exploration, less than one-tenth of the players have encountered other players in Dream World, which shows its vastness.
However, just how large Dream World is and what its topography is like remain a mystery to this day.
Currently, no one has the power to conduct such comprehensive exploration, not even the Special Affairs Group formed by Yanhuang Country with such a large workforce.
Now with the map of Dream World opened up to all players, everyone can finally have a clearer understanding of themselves and Dream World.
Qin Chuan rubbed his temples and turned to look at the excitedly yelling Little Fatty beside him, "I remember the Special Affairs Group shared a statistical report before, about the estimated total number of Blue Star players?"
"Three billion." Little Fatty quickly responded, "Although Blue Star has a total population of about eight billion, only around three billion have really chosen to embrace the Extraordinary World."
"The rest chose to adjust their schedules to avoid the entrance for various reasons."
Qin Chuan nodded slightly.
The power of the Transcendent attracts people, but there are also groups such as the elderly and children who must adjust their schedules, as well as those who are resistant and stubbornly clinging to their own beliefs.
He heard that there are even sinister cults abroad called "Anti-Transcendent Sects."
Therefore, it's less than half of the eight billion people who have truly become players of Dream World.
These three billion people are divided into different gaming zones, with each zone averaging about three hundred thousand players.
But only the top ten thousand on the Ranking List can earn rewards.
Thinking about it that way, the competition is still quite fierce.
It's just not known what criteria the Ranking List is based on.
"Wow, the Special Affairs Group's response is still so fast," Little Fatty suddenly exclaimed and then passed his phone to Qin Chuan, "Qin Chuan, take a look!"
"Just now, the Dream Realm Forum posted a new announcement at the top."
Qin Chuan casually swiped at the announcement that Little Fatty had already opened.
The content of the announcement was uncomplicated but indeed timely.
[Notice to all Yanhuang Country players:
In response to Blue Star's 2.2 version update, the Special Affairs Group will launch an official trading section on the Dream Realm Forum tomorrow to help players find and acquire the resources they need. Players are advised to avoid offline transactions with strangers to prevent being deceived.
Special Affairs Group]
"Now the safety of resource exchange is also guaranteed," Little Fatty said with a sigh, "The Special Affairs Group is really amazing, Qin Chuan, do you think we have a chance to join?"
Having witnessed the strong execution and incomparable security of the Special Affairs Group for so many days, it has now become the place countless people most want to join.
However, even with a staff shortage, the recruitment process of the Special Affairs Group remains very strict.
"You keep trying, maybe you'll have a chance," Qin Chuan replied casually, then looked toward the classroom door, "Isn't it almost time for class?"
Almost the instant his words dropped, the class teacher's figure appeared outside the door.
"Students, there's something to inform you about before class," the class teacher said cheerfully as he entered the classroom, "The Extraordinary Course I mentioned before will start tomorrow."
"The course time is from seven to nine in the evening."
"After school this afternoon, the teacher in charge of the course will come over to get acquainted with everyone, so don't rush to leave after school."
Hearing this, the classmates in the classroom let out cheers immediately.
If anything, they've been looking forward to the newly announced 2.2 update and the confirmed Extraordinary Course during this period.
Now that the update announcement was out, the Special Affairs Group could finally determine the direction of future plans, and the start date of the Extraordinary Course was also set.
Thinking that they would meet the new teacher after school today, everyone showed expressions of anticipation.
In the rather dull school life, new teachers and transfer students are always fresh and exciting events.
Time flew by quickly, and a day of academic classes came to an end with the ringing of the dismissal bell, temporarily calming the uproar brought by the update announcement.
In the classroom of Senior Three (7), each student sat up straight, trying to make a good first impression on the new Extraordinary teacher.
Even Qin Chuan and Little Fatty couldn't escape convention.
However, their efforts quickly fell apart, because the class teacher soon entered, "Everyone follow me to the auditorium, the new teacher will meet you there."
The auditorium?
They looked at each other in confusion.
That was the largest venue of Changxing City No. 2 Middle School, typically only used for events like the New Year's gala; now the new teacher's meeting was chosen to be there?
Seeing the class's puzzlement, the class teacher explained, "Because the Special Affairs Group is short-handed, all the Extraordinary teachers for our senior year are the same."
"We chose the auditorium because it can accommodate all the students in the senior year."
With that, everyone understood.
Following the teacher, they entered the designated area of the auditorium, and other classes arrived in succession; when all eight senior classes were seated, a figure slowly emerged and stood at the center of the stage.
"Hello everyone! We meet again."
Seeing the face of the young man on stage, the entire senior year became lively.
Zhou Zixiu.
Not only for Senior Three (7), but he had also explained the situation of Dream World on behalf of the Special Affairs Group to other classes.
In a way, everyone was familiar with him.
"I can feel your enthusiasm," Zhou Zixiu said, microphone in hand, with a bright smile, "The Extraordinary Course will start teaching from tomorrow, from seven to nine each evening, with one hour for teaching Extraordinary Theory and another for teaching Extraordinary Practical Combat."
"And I, Zhou Zixiu, will be your Extraordinary Theory teacher for the time being."
At this announcement, the students in the auditorium burst into cheers and applause.
At the same time, a question arose in everyone's heart.
If there was someone else for Extraordinary Practical Combat, who might that teacher be?
Seemingly perceiving their curiosity, Zhou Zixiu continued, "As for the teacher of Extraordinary Practical Combat, he was delayed due to some matters, so he might be a bit late..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look at the side of the stage.
A man with bloodstains on his clothes, a stern face carrying the scent of blood and an aura of solemnity, strode onto the stage and took the microphone from Zhou Zixiu's hand.
"Extraordinary Practical Combat, Ji Huai."
After speaking, he returned the microphone to Zhou Zixiu and stood aside, rigid as a javelin.
Zhou Zixiu's lips twitched ever so slightly, and the audience was in an uproar.
This was their Extraordinary Practical Combat teacher?!
