The Rift,
is a special spatial distortion phenomenon that appears with the Star Core,
and will continue to erode the real world as time passes.
Therefore, where there is a Rift,
it means that there is a Star Core in that place.
What is the Star Core?
It is a disaster that the Intergalactic Peace Company, a huge entity, calls the Cancer of the Multiverse.
It is suspected to be the work of the destroyed Star God Nanook.
A seemingly insignificant little Star Core, once activated and exploded.
For the vast majority of planets in the universe, it will be a huge disaster that is difficult to undo.
Enough to destroy all civilizations on the planet, and even the planet itself!
And now, here comes the Rift.
Then there is no doubt.
This planet also has the Star Core, known as the Cancer of the Multiverse!
"There's actually a Star Core on this planet, this is going to be tough."
"I can't leave this planet now, if this Star Core explodes again, with my current strength, I'm afraid I'm done for."
Looking at the Rift in the distance, which looked very stable but whose situation was unknown, Chu Chen's heart was a little heavy.
Although he can easily kill the Void Soldiers now,
but it can't last long.
With his current strength, he can simultaneously deal with hundreds of Void Soldiers, and that's his limit.
Any more, and his magic won't be enough.
And these Void Soldiers can't all be the elite like the Tramplers.
But if he's joined by Dimo, the two of them working together, maybe they can deal with two hundred Void Soldiers attacking at the same time.
Being able to fight off hundreds of Void Soldiers alone seems pretty badass.
In fact, for ordinary people, it's really pretty badass.
Unfortunately, this is still far from enough.
Because there are countless monsters in the Rift!
The Void Soldiers left on this planet are actually just a few,
because this is a planet whose civilization has already been destroyed,
the Anti-Matter Legion wouldn't stay here.
But Rift creatures are different, they come with the Star Core, and they won't disappear until the Star Core is gone.
"Forget it, as long as I don't go near the Rift, I should be fine."
"At least for now."
"Let's go, Dimo, let's get away from this Rift."
With a sigh, Chu Chen called out to Dimo and walked towards the distance.
He decided to lay low and walk around the Rift.
"Dimo! (Good!)" Dimo echoed, following Chu Chen with his short legs.
【Ding!】
【Star Core energy reaction detected!】
【The following mission is being issued!】
【Mission: Recover the Star Core!】
【Mission Type: Long-term mission!】
【Mission Reward: Five million Rock Diamonds for each recovered Star Core!】
【Ding, Rock Universal Mall starting to load....】
【Loading complete, Rock Universal Mall is now open!】
...
The sudden sound of the system made Chu Chen stop in his tracks.
"There's a mission?"
"What, you want me to recover the Star Core?"
"You're kidding, right?"
"You might as well just recycle me."
Hearing that the mission was to recover the Star Core, Chu Chen immediately went into a state of chaos.
The system actually wanted him to recover the Star Core!
What's the difference between this and sending him to his death?
Chu Chen was a very self-aware person.
He didn't think that with his current strength, he would be able to subdue a Star Core that had already exploded.
"Uh... the reward is... five million Rock Diamonds?" Chu Chen's face was a little strange as he saw the three words Rock Diamonds.
Rock Diamonds, the universal in-game currency for the game, Rock Kingdom.
Not only can it be used to buy various powerful items, it can also be used to directly purchase divine pets.
"If I remember correctly, it was the appearance of Rock Diamonds that led to the gradual decline of Rock Kingdom."
Recalling the rise and fall of Rock Kingdom, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel a little sad.
The appearance of Rock Diamonds also marked the successful transformation of Rock Kingdom into a pay-to-win game.
It was from this time onwards that Rock Kingdom gradually changed.
When divine pets were no longer obtained through your own hard work, but through money.
Then the original intention of the game had completely changed.
As a result, players who were disappointed with the game chose to quit in large numbers, and Rock Kingdom gradually declined.
Looking back now, Chu Chen was one of the players who quit back then.
However, looking back with his current experience, Chu Chen realized that it was actually an inevitable thing.
After all, the game operator is not a philanthropist,
the essence of their creation of this game is to make money.
And running a game requires a lot of expenses.
Naturally, they need to make money.
Moreover, when Chu Chen looked back at the level of pay-to-win in Rock Kingdom with the eyes of an adult,
he realized that the pay-to-win points in Rock Kingdom weren't really that expensive.
Compared to the current mobile games that constantly charge 328, 648... and try to squeeze money out of you, but can't even get a few drops of water out,
Rock Kingdom's pay-to-win points are really very kind.
Unfortunately, the main users of Rock Kingdom back then were just a group of children who hadn't grown up yet.
At that time, children couldn't even pay to win.
Being able to afford a ten yuan membership for a month was already a glorious achievement after a month of pleading with their parents.
And more often than not, they had to make a lot of empty promises.
Like things like "I'll definitely get first place in the next exam" or "I'll be sure to go to tutoring classes during the holidays."
But at that time, it was all worth it.
Because that mere ten yuan a month membership could really make you happy for a long time.
Instead of the current situation, even if you summon up the courage to spend 648,
the end result is often a dim look at a crooked bottom tier,
and you're probably muttering "If it's crooked again, I'm quitting" or something like that.
"Sigh, I really miss those early days, the energetic Rock Kingdom."
"Unfortunately, I've grown up now, and I can't go back."
Thinking back to his childhood experiences playing Rock Kingdom, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
His childhood was gone, and it wouldn't be coming back.
"Ugh, why am I getting all nostalgic?"
"I've just awoken Rock Kingdom's golden finger."
"It's like inheriting the entire Rock Kingdom world."
"What's there to miss about a virtual game?"
Chu Chen looked down at Dimo, who was alive and well beside him, and shook his head with a smile.
"The system even opened up a mall function, right?"
"Then let's have a look."
Chu Chen moved his mind and opened the Rock Universal Mall.
Suddenly, a panel appeared in his vision.
【Item Name: Cocoa Fruit】
【Price: 100 Rock Diamonds/each】
【Effect: Slightly strengthens the power of the Pokémon.】
【Item Name: Fruit Candy】

【Item Name: Parsas Set】

........
The items were dazzling, and Chu Chen was overwhelmed.
