With godlike talent from the start, how did he become invincible?

Chapter 334 Hugging a Thigh?

If you're lucky enough to land in a sparsely populated, resource-rich area, you might actually be able to find a way to survive by "surviving the odds."

But soon, more practical problems arose.

"Environment! And an environment debuff!" A warrior, his body steaming with heat, squeezed through the crowd. He had just been teleported from Flame City.

"The rules I saw in Sunfire City specifically marked the environment type! If we're randomly assigned to the Ice Plains, won't our fire mages be half-useless? And if we're randomly assigned to the Poison Swamp, with continuous health loss, how much pressure will we have on supplies?"

"There are also restrictions on carrying supplies! Storage space has been reduced, and we might not be able to bring in high-level items!" another player exclaimed. "What about all the high-level potions and scrolls we've stockpiled? If we can't bring them in, won't all our preparations be wasted??"

"Seven days...that's too short!! Leveling up, farming gear, preparing targeted supplies...how is that possible?!"

Anxiety spread like a plague. Everyone began frantically calculating what they needed to do, what they lacked, and what they might face.

Prices at the trading post have skyrocketed again, especially for versatile items that can handle a variety of harsh environments and rare backpacks that expand storage space; their prices have reached astronomical levels.

The discussion about "Lin Tian," after the initial shock, has become more specific and...despairing.

"Which region do you think Lin Tian will be assigned to?"

"No matter which region he is assigned to, the other players in that region are probably going to be in big trouble... He will definitely be number one on the leaderboard, and the number of points he can collect will probably be astronomical."

"It's more than just bad luck; it's a disaster! With him around, the competition for the top 100,000 in that region will be many times more intense than in other regions! Who would want to be grouped with him?!"

"Not necessarily. Maybe the top players don't bother with ordinary players in the early stages and go straight for high-level resource points and bosses?"

We're just small fry; they probably wouldn't even bother to give us a second glance.

"I hope so... I pray we're not assigned to the same division as him!!"

"Does prayer even work? It's random! Let fate decide!!"

Some people were afraid of being in the same area as Lin Tian, ​​but others had a strange glint in their eyes.

"If we could be assigned to the same competition zone as Boss Lin Tian... maybe we'd have a chance to ride his coattails?" a clever thief whispered to his companion.

"Cling to a big shot? Dream on! Do you think those top-tier players would even look at us? We'd be lucky if we didn't get slaughtered!" His companion retorted mercilessly.

"Nothing is absolute... What if? We should at least give it a try..."

While ordinary players are unsettled by the harsh rules, busy calculating gains and losses and praying, at a higher level, the discussion is more realistic and ruthless.

The core channel of a top-tier guild.

"The rules are clear: individual skill and early-game development speed are crucial."

Pass down the order:

1. All elite teams shall cease all dungeon raids and team activities, break into smaller groups, and level up as quickly as possible, with the goal of all members reaching level 30!

2. The warehouse is now fully open. Based on contribution and potential ratings, high-level potions, temporary attribute items, and life-saving scrolls will be distributed.

Third, the intelligence department worked at full capacity to collect information on all known high-level resource points, BOSS spawn points, and areas where rare treasure chests might appear, and drew probability maps, which were then distributed to core members.

IV. Drafting Initial Tactics: Upon entering the competition area, prioritize using the guild's special communication items (if the system allows them) to attempt to gather forces and occupy advantageous resource points. In the early stages, focus on clearing monsters and completing events, avoiding premature conflicts with other large groups. In the mid-game, begin targeted hunting of high-scoring lone players or small teams. In the late game... decide whether to maintain the alliance based on the situation.

"yes!"

"In addition, pay close attention to those SSS-level talents, and... Lin Tian. Gather as much information as possible about their latest movements and strength estimates. If possible... within the competition area, try to contact Lin Tian and express your intention to cooperate, even if the price is high."

"clear!"

Similar instructions were issued to various large, organized guilds and mercenary groups.

A new order is born from chaos; individuals are in a state of panic, while organizations have begun to operate, attempting to turn the rules into their own advantage.

For those SSS-level talents who stand at the pinnacle of individual talent, this rule is more like a challenge, a clear signpost.

What they were looking at was not the despairing elimination rate, but the "leadership list," "advancement," "secondary divisions," and the final path to the "Misty Continent."

......

Southwest of Yunxi City, far from the main city's safe zone, lies a dangerous place known locally as the "Shadow Swamp."

This place is perpetually shrouded in a grayish-green poisonous miasma, resulting in extremely low visibility.

Beneath their feet lay a muddy swamp of varying depths, lurking with unknown dangers. Occasionally, huge bubbles would rise from the black mud, releasing a putrid, sour stench when they burst.

The twisted, bizarre, withered trees, like the dying arms of a monster, stretched towards the misty sky.

In the distance, eerie hissing or low murmurs could be heard from time to time; these were the sounds of poison-type, undead-type, or amphibian monsters that inhabited this place.

For ordinary players with an average level of 23 or 24, the Shadow Swamp is an absolute forbidden zone. Entering alone is tantamount to suicide. Even a five-person team needs to be equipped with high-level anti-poison potions and a guide familiar with the terrain before daring to move around cautiously on the outskirts.

But in a relatively dry clearing surrounded by jagged rocks at the heart of the swamp, a battle had just ended.

The air was thick with shadow energy and a faint smell of blood.

A monster the size of an elephant, covered in slippery scales, with three ferocious snake heads—

【Three-Headed Venomous Scale Python - Lord, Lv.32】

— It lay helplessly in the mud, two of its three snake heads almost severed at the root by a sharp blade, and the remaining one had its eyes pierced. Dark green venomous blood and foul-smelling bodily fluids gushed out, staining a large area of ​​the ground.

Standing beside the lord's corpse were five people.

The leader was a woman.

She was tall and well-proportioned, wearing a tight-fitting dark purple leather armor with a water-like sheen on the surface, clearly indicating her high quality.

The leather armor is designed to fit the body's curves perfectly, yet it cleverly incorporates thin, black metal plates at joints and vital points, balancing flexibility and protection.
