After the major update, Version 4.0 officially went live.

The Fourth Test players had also received their devices, each nervously awaiting their moment to log in.

Meanwhile, the veteran players had already made their way to the Celestial One Daoist Sect.

Xu Nian stood with his hands behind his back atop the thousand-step staircase, his gaze calm and profound.

"Disciples, today a new batch of disciples will arrive. I believe you are all aware of this news."

Xu Nian looked at the veteran players and spoke, "Our Profound Yellow Sect does not accept the incompetent, so there will be a test today. What you need to do is very simple: just stop them on these thousand steps by any means possible!

There's an array I've set on this staircase. Anyone who steps on or approaches it will have their magic dispelled and their realm lowered.

In other words, on these stairs, you too will become ordinary common people.

Your task is simple: use whatever methods you have to stop the new disciples on these stairs and make them give up the idea of becoming Disciples of our Profound Yellow Sect.

For every disciple you dissuade, you'll earn 100 Contribution Points! There's no cap."

Hearing this, the veteran players were all in disbelief. Can you really play like this? New disciples are busting their heads trying to join the game. And what then? They have to face a wave of dissuasion right off the bat?

"Hahaha, this new rule is great! My roommates all got spots. This time, they absolutely must call me 'Daddy'!"

"Isn't this way more fun than when the Third Test players arrived? We get to dissuade a whole bunch of players!"

"Let's do it! Dung Beetle, lend me some stinky tofu. I'm going to dissuade everyone in one go, and then we'll split the Contribution Points!"

"Seriously? Starting with biological weapons? My condolences to the Fourth Test players for a moment."

The players were also eager to start. Dissuading one gets 100 Contribution Points. If we dissuade more, won't we earn a lot more? There are five thousand Fourth Test players, you know! If we dissuade them all, won't we earn points super fast? Fourth Test players? What Fourth Test players? We don't know them, never heard of them! In the face of Contribution Points, those Fourth Test players mean nothing to us!

Seeing the players walking towards the foot of the mountain, Xu Nian was very pleased with their actions. At least the veteran players were very obedient.

Chives have to look like chives!

Xu Nian chuckled, waved his hand, and immediately summoned the Fourth Test players.

At the foot of the Celestial One Daoist Sect's mountain, a giant array slowly appeared. Then, the first of the Fourth Test players came out, full of curiosity.

Followed by the second player, the third player...

Watching one Fourth Test player after another come out, the veteran players were also exhilarated. These are all Contribution Points! They're free for the taking! It's just dissuading them, right? How hard can it be? Let's do it!

"Damn, is this inside the game? I smell the graphics card burning."

"My god, the visuals, audio, smell, touch—everything is so clear! Am I really playing a game?"

"You call this a game? Penguin, Perfect, come out and take your beating!"

"Look at all these players around! Hey, look at that player, isn't that Old Mo, the First Combat Power? I've seen his video where he kills the Merfolk King with one kick using Eight Gates Escape Armor at full throttle!"

"And there's the Duck Leg Rice Couple! I'm a huge fan. My girlfriend and I came just for them."

"Boss Dung Beetle, look here! We're in the same group as One to Nine Nine Nine. We've prepared a performance for you. Lord, please consider us."

As Fourth Test players emerged one by one, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces around them, they were momentarily overcome with excitement.

As for the veteran players? Watching these Fourth Test players with excited yet naive eyes, they felt somewhat sentimental. A few months ago, weren't we just like them? The first time we logged in, we were probably just as excited as these Fourth Test players, if not more so. We even did plenty of foolish things back then. These Fourth Test players are just gathered here, mostly looking at flowers and grass. But us? We almost even ambushed Xu Nian. In the blink of an eye, a few months have passed, and the game is already in its fourth test.

"Brothers, I see my past self in them."

"Tell me about it! I see it too. That naivety when we first logged in... it's actually pretty funny thinking back now."

"So now we're kind of celebrities in their eyes, aren't we? Hahahaha!"

"We've paved a decent path for them. At least they don't have to struggle anymore."

"Still, we need to let them experience how treacherous people can be. This game is all about social dynamics!"

The Fourth Test players looked around. Some even plucked blades of grass and tucked them into their clothes, as if they wanted to preserve them.

Some female players posed in various ways among the flowers and used the game's internal photo system to take commemorative photos.

Some of their actions were things even the veteran players had never done.

During the Third Test, female players made up half the roster. And what was the result?

Those female players never paused to take commemorative photos among the flowers; they jumped straight into tackling tasks!

Now, there are quite a few famous female players as well.

First Combat Power Female Player: Wanwan.

Female Player with the Most Contribution Points: Sister Zhou.
