[Before entering the game, please provide a collateral! Note that if you fail the game, you will lose your collateral. If you win, you will receive a reward worth no less than your collateral!]

Seeing this prompt in front of him, Lin Ye immediately submitted the 'Rule Coin'.

This was the wager he had agreed upon with Gongsun. After all, Gongsun's goal with this game was clearly to retrieve this coin.

[Collateral confirmed, entering the game...]

Immediately, Lin Ye's vision blurred, and when things became clear again, he found himself in a woodland.

[Player 'Lin Ye' has entered the game!]

[The game has enough players. The game will start in ten minutes. Please be prepared!]

Then, a message appeared before the players who had already entered the game ahead of him.

In each game round, a total of thirty players compete.

At this moment, Lin Ye happened to be the thirtieth player in this game!

This caused quite a stir among the players...

"Oh shit? It's Lin Ye?"

"Damn, how did I end up facing this kind of opponent?"

"Oh man, what do we do? There's no way to quit now!"

"Seriously? I dug up my ancestor's remains just to win a game, and now... oh, the heavens, why be so harsh on me!"

"Damn it, we're definitely losing this time. My ancestor's grave was dug up for nothing!"

Such reactions appeared among many players in the game.

They were all shocked by this sudden news.

Lin Ye's name had essentially become a symbol, synonymous with being strong, miraculous, and so on.

What fun is there in facing someone like him?

Unfortunately, there was no public chat in the game; otherwise, these players would surely find that this group seemed especially full of 'unfilial descendants' who had dug up their ancestors' graves.

Many entered the game holding relics, all with the same objective: to utilize their relics to their fullest potential.

But now it seems they have miscalculated.

In a corner of the game, Gongsun stood beside a tall woman.

"The game has started. From here on, you must give it your all," Gongsun said to Gao Lanlan.

Gao Lanlan did not respond but immediately started taking action.

There wasn't any time to waste!

She needed to quickly eliminate these people's troops and then locate Lin Ye for a final showdown!

"Heh, you're even more eager than I am..." Gongsun observed Gao Lanlan's urgency with a touch of amusement.

He didn't actually care about human emotions.

To him, it was something meaningless.

Even though his supreme treasure was taken by Lin Ye, he wasn't exactly filled with rage or hatred.

Right now, his desire to retrieve the Rule Coin was simply because of a Demon God's need for Origin Power.

If not for this, he might not even bother with Lin Ye.

After all, even though he suffered a significant loss at the time, in retrospect, from an observer's perspective, it was quite an entertainment.

The mighty Rule Demon God having his Original Supreme Treasure snatched by a mere human—what a spectacle!

Of course, that didn't stop him from wanting to retrieve the Rule Coin now.

Under his observation, relics were taken out one by one, exchanged for experience points...

Finally, all the relics were exchanged.

At this moment, Gao Lanlan chose to convert all these experience points into her soldiers.

Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers before her, Gao Lanlan's eyes gleamed with the pleasure of revenge and decisiveness...

This time, Lin Ye is surely doomed!

...

[You have gained 100 initial experience points, which can be used to recruit soldiers and more!]

Before the game countdown began, this announcement appeared before everyone.

Including Lin Ye, naturally.

But he merely glanced at it, not paying much attention, continuing to study everything in front of him.

Experience points weren't too much of a problem for him.

"So you can exchange for abilities like an aura..."

Lin Ye murmured to himself.

As a player, Lin Ye was not allowed to get directly involved; he could only lead the soldiers into battle.

As the one controlling the soldiers, players could use experience points to exchange for aura effects to enhance their soldiers.

Of course, an aura costs as much as some advanced soldier types.

"Healing Aura?"

Lin Ye was curious if this aura could trigger his Talent Effect.

"10,000 experience points isn't too expensive."

Lin Ye smiled slightly, taking out a relic.

"My apologies, senior!" Lin Ye apologized, but he didn't extract all the experience points from the relic.

If he extracted them all, it would be like he had directly used the relic for himself.

Since his Space Mage hadn't reached the Second Transformation, clearly, now wasn't the best time to use the relic.

So Lin Ye only extracted a portion of the experience points.

The apology was because each relic was formed from the essence of the Human Race's sages and naturally deserved respect and reverence from later generations.

[You have exchanged 'Healing Aura·Level 1']

[Healing Aura·Level 1: Restores 1% of the Life Value of friendly soldiers per second]

Lin Ye looked at this effect; it seemed decent. While not particularly outstanding in battle, it could help restore the troops' condition during marches after a battle.

This could save a lot of time.

"Level 1 is not quite enough, directly upgrade to Level 3!"

Level 1 had only 1% recovery, but Level 3 had 3% recovery.

Such a recovery rate would be quite effective even in the midst of battle!

However, each level increase required ten times the experience points.

Level 1 was 10,000 experience points, while Level 3 was 1,000,000!

This price was exceedingly high...

After all, this was enough to exchange for a hundred thousand basic soldiers!

However, such a number was just a drop in the bucket for Lin Ye's relic.

An Orange Level 80 relic, using tens of thousands as units for its experience points, was somewhat inadequate.

After obtaining this aura, Lin Ye began selecting troop types.

"Instead of going for quantity, go for quality..."

Lin Ye directly skipped some basic troop types and looked at the advanced ones!

Among troops costing several thousand to tens of thousands of experience points, Lin Ye finally selected his own team!
