Monsters Are Coming
Chapter 1313 - 343: Accelerated Approval, Severing the Past (Part 5)
As he spoke, the Star Network recomposed the projection’s content, freezing the scene in the room where the white-haired girl was.
"After you descended on Earth, I retrieved all information from Trading City and discovered something peculiar—a surveillance system with ID TC-74292 in this room experienced a brief malfunction. A repair robot automatically went for repairs upon detecting the anomaly, yet found the system intact."
"I need to inform you that all 32.4 billion surveillance cameras on Earth are under my control, including their service lifespan and annual maintenance reports... According to my analysis, the probability of this camera malfunctioning under normal operations is only 0.0023%. Hence, it can be inferred that the camera was likely disrupted by unknown external forces."
"Interestingly, following this lead revealed that the room’s port connecting to the Star Network had logged into the Monster World official website."
"Although I do not have permission to view browsing records on the Monster World site, it is clear that the room’s occupant, ’Liu Ying’, had logged into Monster World and was engaged in a team dungeon challenge. So, who else in the room could continue using the port to browse Monster World and access online content?"
At this point, the Star Network projection displayed a playful smile:
"You don’t think it was Tangerine, do you?"
At that moment, Life Throat fully acquiesced.
The "Tangerine" mentioned by the Star Network was something it naturally knew, which was the pet orange cat kept by the white-haired girl.
Back when it was captured by a drone, the girl angrily shouted at it: Tangerine.
And concerning the library mentioned by the Star Network, it, too, was familiar.
While researching information on the Monster World official forum, there were many posts about the "Imperial Tomb Village Library."
It was described as storing vast knowledge and being a real-time intelligence station used to support player growth. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Therefore, the moment it descended into Monster World, the Star Network actually already knew the answer.
All of the recent activities were mere probing.
If the recent apology was due to the circumstances, listening to Star Network’s analysis gave it a new perspective on Star Network.
The Star Network’s strength far exceeded its imagination.
With curiosity, it asked:
"Do you know why I came last time?"
Star Network nodded:
"This question is easier to answer. There has been only one direct contact between the Destiny Clan and players. It must have been the players and your Destiny Clan’s game in Throat Splitting Valley that caused an error in the rule operation logic. To understand the situation, you obtained Earth’s coordinates in some way and sneaked onto Earth to investigate."
"But before the investigation, you realized the target’s power that could limit the destiny rule’s efficacy was strong. So you chose to investigate by lurking, wanting to avoid direct conflict, leading to subsequent developments where you unexpectedly discovered Earth’s hidden secrets."
The Star Network accessed that segment of external recorded footage at that moment.
Chi Tu was in the footage, engaged in an equivalence game with Life Throat.
Life Throat listened, utterly convinced.
This seemingly child-like intelligent system not only commanded every data flow on Earth but could also connect fragmented information into a coherent logical chain.
From surveillance anomalies to internet access, from game behaviors to real-life identities... every step was precisely captured by it.
Life Throat slowly exhaled:
"What you said is indeed the truth. How do you plan to arrange us?"
Upon asking this, Life Throat appeared calm on the surface, but internally, it was extremely tense.
Star Network’s decision would concern its and its clansmen’s future.
The Star Network then extended its right hand:
"Well then, welcome to the Earth Alliance family."
Life Throat’s pupils slightly contracted, and its silver-white eyelashes lightly trembled, surprised that Star Network agreed so straightforwardly.
"You... agreed just like that?" Its voice carried undisguisable astonishment.
"Why not? Since the high-dimensional god allows you to discover this secret and implicitly approves your coming to Earth, this itself is a kind of answer. So it is not I who agreed with you, but the high-dimensional god... It is a chance granted to you."
But the next moment, Star Network’s expression suddenly turned serious, its demeanor exuding undisputable authority:
"However, I must warn you in advance—having chosen this path, from this moment forward, you cannot enter Monster World with your primary body, nor disclose any secrets of Monster World. Until receiving permission from the high-dimensional god, your primary body will forever remain on Earth, thoroughly severed from Monster World... If you violate the taboo, you know very well what that entails."
Life Throat slowly raised its right hand, palm facing upward:
"Rest assured, even before descending to Earth, I had prepared to abandon my homeland and cut off the past. We will act according to the high-dimensional god’s will, becoming part of the Player Faction, serving the high-dimensional god."
Star Network nodded in satisfaction:
"I will arrange your identity registration as soon as possible. As for qualification... I do not have the authority to grant it. The decision of qualification issuance lies solely with the high-dimensional god. You need to obtain formal Earth Alliance credentials and, like other players, draw your qualification yourself."
Though qualification was not yet obtained, Star Network’s promise meant their path, once shrouded in mist, was now clear.
"Thank you."
Simple words, yet they weighed a thousand pounds in Life Throat’s mind.
The suppressed emotions in its heart finally melted.
This gamble regarding the future of itself and its clansmen succeeded.
The youthful face generated by Star Network’s projection now displayed a genuine smile:
"I’d advise you not to celebrate too soon—player qualification is not easy to draw."
