"Mobile Storm, you and I are fated. You’re the one. Let’s see what’s behind that mysterious veil!"

Wang Yi’s choice was, of course, the +9 Enhanced [Mobile Storm: Jade Dragon]!

The next moment, he was ejected from the Toilet House. Lights flashed continuously around him, and within the glow, one magnificent mechanical horse after another appeared, looking as if they were crafted from White Jade Armor Fragments.

Wang Yi’s eyes went wide as he stared intently at the mechanical horse before him.

It was much larger than a normal warhorse, its back towering about two meters from the ground. The armor plates, which seemed to be carved from jade, gleamed with a soft luster. The mechanical horse’s head bore two horns and it had a tail like a dragon’s. Its eyes glowed blue, and its four slender legs made its frame look both tall and agile. It was equipped with a full set of tack, including a silver saddle and stirrups, possessing an overall sense of technological beauty.

Name: Mobile Storm: Jade Dragon

Description: A version of the Mobile Storm Jade Jiaolong, designed for military parades and ceremonies. Its Alloy Armor is primarily crafted from Deep Sea Profound Jade Iron. The Main Control Light Computer is loaded with the Jade Dragon System, its main engine is a specialized Jade Dragon Turbine Propulsion unit, and it is equipped with six conventional auxiliary engines.

Function 1: [Standard Mobility Module]. This version of the Mobile Storm Jade Jiaolong is equipped with a universal Eternal Battery Module and a universal Memory Repair Module. It can automatically draw energy from the void and perform Automatic Repair after sustaining damage.

Function 2: [Gorgeous Dragon Warhorse]. The basic form, with relatively low energy consumption. It manifests in a warhorse form and is suitable for situations not requiring high speed or protection. The frame is agile, capable of rapid acceleration, and responds to voice commands to perform elegant and standard tactical and attack maneuvers.

Note 1: The Mobile Storm Jade Jiaolong was originally designed as a vehicle for military parades and ceremonies, so it is not equipped with a weapon system. Its overall performance is relatively low, and it lacks the characteristic riding effects and sky-motorcycle form of the Mobile Storm series.

Note 2: At full power, the Jade Dragon can reach speeds of up to 500 km/h.

Note 3: The binding command for the [Mobile Storm: Jade Dragon] is on the certificate of authenticity. You must enter the binding command to bind the [Mobile Storm: Jade Dragon]. Afterwards, a biometric identification system will activate to confirm the owner. Non-bound users cannot operate it.

’A vehicle for parades and ceremonies, with relatively low overall performance, and yet it can go 500 km/h, has infinite energy, and can perform Self-Repair! Damn, what does high performance even look like? It seems other versions of the Mobile Storm also have riding effects and a sky-motorcycle form?’

Wang Yi felt that the original [Mobile Storm: Jade Dragon] was already badass. The system hadn’t enhanced its performance, but it had increased the quantity, doubling it nine times in a row. There were probably 512 of them on site!

He excitedly did a quick count, and sure enough, there were exactly 512 of them!

’This is a massive win! 512 of them... how should I distribute them all...’

Wang Yi gleefully went to collect the 512 certificates of authenticity for the [Mobile Storm: Jade Dragon]. The binding commands were on the certificates, and only by possessing the binding command could one become the owner.

At this same moment, in Huashan County, outside the main tent of the East Victory Royal Mansion Commander Camp, Lu Aqi was kneeling before the entrance, balancing a battered cooking pot on his head.

That battered cooking pot was the very same Spiritual Artifact rice cooker he had sent someone to present to the Prince Mansion several days ago.

But clearly, this Spiritual Artifact rice cooker had not brought him any rewards from the Prince Mansion. Instead, it had enraged the Prince, who sentenced him to kneel with the pot on his head. If the pot fell, so would his head.

’Damn it, that treacherous commoner is going to get me killed...’

Lu Aqi’s heart was filled with anxiety. He thought of Jin Buhuan, the one who had presented the treasure to him, and wished he could tear him to shreds!

Inside the tent, King Dongsheng, dressed in a Yellow Robe, was in an extremely foul mood. He paced back and forth, unable to settle down.

The man in green was also inside the tent, but he was sitting in a yoke-back armchair, sipping tea by himself.

"Damn it! After all my careful planning, I never calculated that the Spiritual Artifact rice cooker would be a fake! Lu Aqi has jeopardized my military strategy; his death would be no great loss!"

The man in the Yellow Robe roared in anger.

His identity was, of course, King Dongsheng.

King Dongsheng, named Li Zheng, was the youngest of the four cardinal kings of the Golden Sparrow Country. He was also the true hegemon of the eastern part of the Golden Sparrow Country, controlling 300,000 elite soldiers and known as the Qilin General.

The real Qilin General had died suddenly without anyone noticing, his body taken over by a transmigrated Player.

And the Player who had obtained this identity was named Xue Shentian.

Before transmigrating, Xue Shentian was a ride-hailing driver who enjoyed fishing and binge-watching web dramas. One time, while driving and scrolling through videos, he had a momentary lapse in concentration and had an intimate encounter with an oncoming truck. Then, he transmigrated.

But he really did hit the jackpot. Not only did he get the identity of "King Dongsheng of the Golden Sparrow Country," but he also received a powerful S-Class Talent: [Real-time Intelligence].

As for the man in green in the tent, he was also a Player. He was the very truck driver who had hit Xue Shentian, and his name was Li Mingli!

Li Mingli had transmigrated along with Xue Shentian. His in-game identity was a Death Warrior secretly trained by King Dongsheng, and his Lord Talent was the A-Class [Continuous Blink]. He was also a Chaos Lord, but he barely developed his territory, preferring to play as an Assassin.

"Thinking about it now, the Spiritual Artifact rice cooker is probably in Wang Shanhe’s hands."

The man in green spoke unhurriedly, "But at this point, there’s no more time to go after the Spiritual Artifact rice cooker. We’ll just have to prepare more provisions. As for that clingy Battle Pet of yours, you’ll just have to hold your nose and endure it."

"Sigh, I suppose that’s the only way!"

Xue Shentian sighed.

Li Mingli said, "By the way, have you received any intelligence today?"

"No... what a coincidence. Speak of the devil, some intelligence just came in!"

Xue Shentian reached out and snatched an Intelligence Scroll from the void. He opened the Scroll and, looking at the text on it, read aloud: "Intelligence Report One: A certain Player faction on Qixia Mountain has run out of provisions. With 300,000 soldiers, they have openly rebelled, attacking the Government Office, seizing official grain, and sustaining their army through warfare!"

Hearing this, Li Mingli exclaimed, "Damn, those Players on Qixia Mountain are bold! They just rebelled outright!"

"With 300,000 soldiers and no food, what else would they do but rebel?"

"Speaking of which, how did he even recruit a 300,000-strong army? Doesn’t his recruitment consume resources?"

"Who knows! But this guy is worth keeping an eye on. He might become a major enemy in the future. I need to arrange for some spies to be sent over!"

"Qixia Mountain is in the Southern Domain, right?"

"Yeah, I’ve already checked the map. Qixia Mountain isn’t what you’d call far from here, but it’s not close either. It’s about two or three thousand li away."

The man in green’s eyes suddenly lit up. "I’ve got a great idea. Your Highness, what do you think would happen if that rebel from Qixia Mountain, the one who’s short on food, found out about the Spiritual Artifact rice cooker? Do you think he’d send troops to seize it?"

"It’s possible!" Xue Shentian laughed. "I see what you’re getting at. For the next while, we need to focus all our efforts on clearing the Chaos Secret Realm, so we won’t have the spare manpower to deal with that Wang Shanhe. It’s not a bad idea to let the one from Qixia Mountain do our dirty work for us! I’ll send someone to spread the news right away!"

"Not so fast. Is there any more intelligence?"

"One more item. Intelligence Report Two: The Chaos Secret Realm will open in one hour. The Secret Realm’s theme is [We Are All Living in Pain]!"

"That’s it?"

"That’s it!"

"’We Are All Living in Pain’... what does that mean?"

"Don’t worry about what it means for now. Let’s use this last hour to get things done. This Prince has been preparing for so long and has every advantage. That Chaos Secret Realm will be my stage!"

Xue Shentian flicked his sleeve, his spirits soaring.

「An hour passed in a flash.」

At that moment, the sky above every Player’s head suddenly turned purple.

A system announcement that only Players could hear suddenly appeared: "The Star Sea churns, the infinite Power of Creation is in motion. All Players, please be advised: the major event, Multiversal Collision, has begun. The Chaos Secret Realm is about to open simultaneously across all servers..."

"DING! All Players, please be advised: entrances to the Chaos Secret Realm are about to appear in large numbers. Players from different countries, different planes, and different dimensions will enter the same Secret Realm through these entrances. This Secret Realm is highly dangerous and hides many great opportunities. The first to clear the Secret Realm will receive an incredibly generous system reward."

"DING! A solemn reminder: this Secret Realm is highly dangerous. It is not recommended for those of weaker strength to enter..."
