Chapter 1: There's only one small volcanic eruption. If we can get through it, we'll win!
[The game environment has been found to be too comfortable, so the brilliant developers have decided to add a natural disaster dungeon. The survivors who survive this dungeon will win the game.]
Natural disasters are being generated randomly.
[Generation successful! Only one small volcanic eruption is expected. If we can get through it, we've won!]
[The supervolcano in the Siberian Igneous Province erupted, wiping out all the organisms observed by the contestants. The Permian Game is over, and punishments are being administered.]
The new game will be held in one day. Please be prepared.
As the game's sound faded, the entire planet Earth, and all its nations, were suffering devastating destruction.
Despairing cries filled every country.
The punishments vary, but in the Dragon Kingdom, the punishment is a random meteorite attack on the ground.
In a short time, a large number of meteorites appeared in various parts of the Dragon Kingdom.
In a small city in the Dragon Kingdom.
A meteorite struck the school in this small city, and with just a gentle impact, it completely destroyed all four of the school's buildings.
A home run right off the bat!
Although the teachers had already arranged for the students to be placed in an empty playground beforehand when they learned of the impending punishment.
But witnessing their school turn into ruins, the screams and wails of the students echoed throughout the school.
However, there were a few voices that clearly carried a hint of schadenfreude.
The school is gone, so there's no need to go to class anymore.
The simple and unpretentious thoughts of a mediocre student.
The teachers wanted to reassure everyone, but they simply couldn't.
Just then, Wang Lin, who was picking at his fingers, slowly opened his eyes.
Wang Lin stood frozen in place, staring at the meteorite in the sky.
I was just playing a game about the evolution of species, what the hell are you doing here?
Is this still in China?
At that moment, a flood of unfamiliar memories surged into my mind.
It's still a time-travel story.
He was still an orphan.
Still, bad luck.
This is a parallel world similar to his previous life, called Blue Star.
He transmigrated into the body of someone with the same name and appearance as him.
The original owner of this body apparently died of fright after witnessing a meteorite hit the school.
Of course, that's not important; what's important is the context of this world.
The level of technological development and national conditions in this world are the same as in Wang Lin's previous life. If there is any difference, it is that the biology and history of this world are almost non-existent.
Regarding the origin of humankind, some believe that God created humans, some believe that Nuwa sculpted humans, some believe that humans are an extraterrestrial race, and some believe that humans have existed since ancient times, but none of them believe that they evolved from monkeys.
People are too lazy to study even human history, let alone the history of other creatures.
They didn't even know that dogs actually evolved from wolves...
Humanity knows virtually nothing about biology and history.
If that were all, it would be fine, since evolution is something no one studies, which means it's not important.
Students can even take two fewer classes, which is enviable!
However, just a few months ago, a game called Blue Star Online was launched on the entire Blue Star.
Although it calls itself a game, it is an extremely cruel death game that can easily take everyone's life.
The game rules involve randomly selecting one participant from each country to enter the game and become a civilization observer.
Civilization observers will select a species of organism to observe on behalf of their nation. If the observed species meets the requirements of the game rules and continues into the next version, the nation wins; if the observed species becomes extinct, the nation loses.
Winners are rewarded, losers are punished.
After absorbing the game information from Blue Star Online, Wang Lin understood something. Wasn't this the game about national destiny?
However, it's a bit special; instead of having the players fight, they have to choose from various ancient creatures to fight.
The contestants in the previous round chose various creatures from the Permian period, such as Helicoprion, trilobites, and raptors...
It has to be said that China was quite lucky this time, managing to snag the apex predator of the Permian period, the Sharp-Toothed Beast.
But if nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected will happen.
The Sharp-Toothed Beast lived a good life in its early stages, and even became the top predator.
Unfortunately, the developers of this version were too despicable. A supervolcano in Siberia completely shattered the dreams of all the players.
This Siberian supervolcano was the largest and deadliest volcanic event in history, directly causing the Permian-Triassic extinction event.
Only a very small number of organisms survived.
If people knew even a little history, they would know which creature to choose, but unfortunately, the people of this world are not interested in history.
If it were Wang Lin, he would have gone all in on the Water Dragon Beast, this seemingly silly and adorable lucky one.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." The species that the Dragon Kingdom chose to observe has died, the game is lost, and now they can only accept the punishment.
Fortunately, it wasn't just the species observed by the Chinese contestants that died; it was all the species observed by all the contestants that died.
If everyone is punished together, then it doesn't count as being punished.
It can only be said that the version design had a pitfall, and failure was inevitable.
"Brother Wang, Brother Wang, stop sleepwalking, it's time to go back to class."
Just then, someone next to Wang Lin shook his shoulder.
Wang Lin snapped out of his daze and looked at the other person, who was one of the original owner's close friends.
"Attend class?"
Wang Lin stared blankly at the collapsed buildings in the distance. "Our school is gone, where are we going to study?"
"The teacher said that the principal borrowed a stadium, and we will have to have classes in the stadium before the new school is built."
"The next round of civilization observers will be selected soon, and we could all be chosen. Our teacher is going to give us a crash course in this area!"
Wang Lin: "..."
Damn, he had to go to class before coming to this other world, so why does he still have to go to class now that he's in another world?
This is like the end of the world, and we still have to go to class?
Okay, I'll go!
In class, Wang Lin did not listen to the lecture because the teacher was talking nonsense. They didn't even know the history of biology, so how could they possibly teach a good lesson?
So Wang Lin has been studying himself... mainly by summoning the system.
However, the rule that novel protagonists are always given special advantages seems to have no effect on him.
After studying for an entire afternoon, Wang Lin finally came to a bold conclusion: he did not have a system.
Is the game starting on Hell difficulty?
interesting.
Can you restart it?
I'm starting to look a bit like them...
Just then, Wang Lin suddenly heard a sweet girl's voice.
[Congratulations on becoming a civilization observer of the Dragon Kingdom. The game will begin in twelve hours. Please prepare accordingly.]
Holy crap!
Wang Lin jumped up, and under the gaze of more than two thousand students in the entire school, he screamed in disbelief:
"Holy crap! I won?"
