Chapter 660 - 654: Open-Book Exam · Mass Login!

Qin Longshuang hesitated for a moment and immediately responded, "Participate, of course, I’ll participate! But can you answer a few questions for me first?"

Although the official promotional video for the "Strongman Paradise" claims that any Earthling with no criminal record can join and enjoy all the benefits of the paradise, everything has to be taken step by step, doesn’t it?

The offered benefits, especially those capable of defying fate, are probably something no one would ignore.

Even those National Guardian-level Extraordinary Ones probably can’t resist the temptation of Strongman Paradise.

From Li Xing’s previous explanation, Qin Longshuang had also learned a lot about the basic information of Strongman Paradise, knowing that although this place is very similar to Earth, it is not on Earth. It has a large expanse but cannot accommodate billions of Earth humans at once.

In other words...

Queueing is something that even Extraordinary Ones cannot avoid.

Cooperating with the questionnaires is probably the simplest and most easily accepted method of "jumping the queue".

The voice claiming to be "Hongjun09239841" immediately responded, "Sure, within twenty-five minutes, you can fill in the Strongman Paradise questionnaire at any time."

"Please note, the results of your questionnaire will affect your access certificate’s priority level."

Upon hearing this, Qin Longshuang slightly nodded.

She had already guessed this point, so she wasn’t really surprised.

"My first question... If I defeat some enemy projections in Strongman Paradise and gain experience points, how should I use them?"

Qin Longshuang slowed her speech, asking while quickly unlocking another phone, swiftly logging into the Earth Super Forum, rapidly typing in the keyword "Li Xing Paradise Rules", and clicking search.

Even though she listened carefully before, her memory was only at a normal human level and couldn’t remember everything heard.

To ensure her answers’ accuracy, Qin Longshuang used a little cleverness.

"The current function is to only view self attributes and cannot load the ’experience points’ acquisition module for you."

"Then what’s the use of entering Strongman Paradise? Can it only enhance combat skills? It feels not very useful... No matter how strong the skills are, if the enemy directly covers with firepower, saturation bombardment, aren’t you still going to die?"

"This question has three answers: First, recharge faith to become a Main God Game advanced VIP user. Second, have Prophet Ma Ran personally grant the data panel. Third, defeat three Tier Two or above enemies in Strongman Paradise and gain recognition from Paradise Will."

At this point, Qin Longshuang suddenly felt much more at ease.

After all, the Prophet hadn’t given up on ordinary people like her.

In the current Earth Extraordinary Era, not only are resources abundant, black technology advanced, but also opportunities overflowing, and fortuitous encounters are everywhere. Unless cursed by Master Heaven, anyone who’s a normal person can reach this level.

Tier Two...

That’s a level where most ordinary people need only a little effort to reach!

"Earlier you said you were transformed into an intelligent data life by the Prophet’s decree, seeing your number, do you have tens of millions of brothers and sisters?"

"That’s confidential."

"Oh right, you don’t exist within my phone, do you? What if this phone breaks..."

Before Qin Longshuang could finish her sentence, she was directly interrupted by "Hongjun09239841": "The form of my existence is something your intelligence temporarily cannot comprehend."

"The term of my service is unrelated to the lifespan of your phone."

"I advise you not to multi-task and focus on memorizing the answers. I don’t need to sleep, eat, or entertain, and can answer your questions whenever you need to consult with me."

At this point, the young woman obediently put down her phone and focused on flipping through the "answers."

It’s just an open-book exam; who’s afraid of whom?

...

Half a day later.

Hubei, Xiangyang.

In front of the Wolong Stele at the Grass Hut Academy.

Ma Ran slowly opened his eyes, with silvery light ribbons swirling around his pupils, gradually flowing and gathering into a deep black vortex.

"[Hong], report the results."

A slightly immature voice rang in Ma Ran’s ear: "The ’Strongman Paradise’ plan has been smooth up to this stage."

"The first batch of internal test personnel has already been screened, from eighty-seven countries, with a total of 8,650 people."

"The first internal test will be completed within twenty-four hours, and the second internal test will open a day later."

"If all goes well, after three days of internal testing, Strongman Paradise can officially open to people worldwide!"

Widespread across the globe, the "Survival Helper" [Hongjun], in actuality, are the abilities of "Divine Split" mastered by the super data life [Hong] after being advanced to a higher level as a Star Power Life with Ma Ran’s help.

The human brain is externally constrained; without the support of special Extraordinary Powers, being ambidextrous to the extent of drawing circles with the left hand while drawing squares with the right counts as an amazing talent—those who can multitask five or six ways already are demon-like geniuses.

However, [Hong] is a data lifeform, and after receiving star force enhancement and essential sublimation, in the absence of special tasks occupying computing power, it can easily multitask a billion, even ten billion, a hundred billion without overloading.

Until now...

Every electronic device on the entire Earth has become a toy for [Hong].

It can freely invade any computer or phone, access all the data within, and can also arbitrarily use electronic devices that are idle.

As for issues like electricity bills, mechanical wear, and component aging, [Hong] has devised a relatively complete compensation system under Ma Ran’s direction to ensure that no one suffers excessive losses during this process.

After the closed beta of [Strongman Paradise] was completed, Ma Ran did not pause to rest.

Not only did he use the [Magic Child] medallion to elevate [Hong] with star force, but the little Daoist ’Wudang’ and the Molten Rock Crow and Golden-Blue Thunder Cat stationed in Guanlan Country, as well as other inner qi lifeforms, also advanced to become star power life due to this.

The essence and level of star power are much stronger than inner qi, with wondrous applications.

After advancing from inner qi life to star power life, their intelligence, strength, and ability to handle special events have been enhanced by at least two levels. Not only can they master human text and language, but they also ignite divine fire, condense divinity, and elevate their overall strength to a whole new level.

This process consumed quite a bit, but Ma Ran felt it was worth it.

The loyalty brought by the [Magic Child] medallion’s enlightenment won’t change because of life evolution.

In a flash of thought, Ma Ran asked, "Have the login devices been distributed?"

"The 150,000 [Paradise Entry Bracelets] for the three-day beta test participants have all been distributed."

Upon hearing this, Ma Ran nodded slightly.

Every aspect of the Paradise Plan had the cooperation of the extraordinary ones, plus the endorsement of various countries’ official entities, leading to an exceedingly high level of efficiency.

However, those [Paradise Entry Bracelets], unlike the rings given to the Guardians during the closed beta, do not offer additional benefits for the wearer apart from accessing the secret realm. Their unique feature is that they can absorb light energy, electrical energy, and thermal energy in normal times to store energy and provide the energy necessary for the wearers’ "crossing" when needed.

After all...

Even though Strongman Paradise is built upon the [Fake Earth] secret realm, it was impossible for Ma Ran to personally escort every Earth human back and forth.

If he did so, it would sooner or later drain him dry.

The existence of these entry bracelets is not a limitation for Earth’s people but an alternative self-protection measure.

In the mass production pipeline of entry bracelets, the biggest challenge actually lies in "coordinate locking" and "space transmission".

The real world has neither magic arrays nor hexagram teleportation arrays. Paying money won’t just let you "whoosh" from one map to another.

All seemingly ordinary operations require pre-planning and preparation.

Those two significant obstacles to the "mass manufacturing of login devices" would certainly not be ignored by Ma Ran.

In fact, they had already been thoroughly resolved during the closed beta of [Strongman Paradise].

Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei alternated responsibilities for closed beta safety supervision, and while one was working, the other did not rest either.

Locking space coordinates is not difficult.

Before evolving into [Burning Martial], Black Rock Inner Qi Martial continued cultivation to the ninth rank, which allows information to be engraved on items through inner qi for long-term preservation.

At this time, it was Su Qiangwei’s turn to take action.

She was responsible for embedding the space coordinates, incomprehensible to ordinary extraordinary ones, into the core of the login device, carving them for long-term preservation, easily manufacturing a large batch with a wave of her hand.

These space coordinates are not intended for ordinary extraordinary ones to observe and use.

After all, those with space transmission and similar crossing abilities are exceedingly rare on the entire Earth, a veritable rarity.

Even though this was Ma Ran’s forte, he did not personally transport every Earth human to and from Strongman Paradise.

[Magic Child] + [Sword Master] medallion by themselves have an immense potential for excavation. During breaks, Ma Ran utilized the [Prophet] medallion to run these two multiplication abilities, jointly enlightening non-organic beings, and easily manufactured a large batch of "teleporters" powered by alien inner qi as their life core.

The teleporters possess only one ability: space transmission.

Moreover, without the aid of star force, each transmission requires quite a long preparation time.

However, this was already good enough!

Furthermore, during the mass production process of [Paradise Entry Bracelets], although some technical barriers were encountered, they were quickly overcome by Li Tang, known as the "Father of Chinese Mecha".

What appeared to be mysterious and highly advanced black technology "instant teleportation divine artifacts" were, in essence, so simple and straightforward.

"Then, the three-day paradise beta test begins now!"

"Additionally..."

"It’s also time to release the Divine List."

After saying this, Ma Ran took a step forward, and his figure gradually faded, soon disappearing without a trace.
