Chapter 1199: Chapter 1167: Paradise Island: The Eve of Opening
[Server-wide Announcement][System]: "As we usher in the ’War of the Gods and Demons 2.0’ version, a brand new map, ’Paradise Island’, is now open for Chosen Ones to quickly enhance their power. Detailed information about the new map can be found on the official website, countdown to opening: 23:59:59."

"Paradise Island?"
At the dining table in the real villa yard, Guo Shaojie (Handsomeness Overflow) was eating grapes from the table while looking at the information on the official website on his tablet, and said, somewhat surprised:
"Recently, there have been quite frequent updates of new maps in the game."
Beside him, Shen Yanhua (Xiao He) asked curiously:
"What’s this new map for?"
"The name sounds like a Peach Blossom Spring."
"Could it be a vacation spot for us?"
Talking about this, Shen Yanhua couldn’t help but laugh himself.
At this time, Ouyang Hao (Heaven’s Gift) suddenly spoke:
"Do you think those people we encountered in the Demon Forest could be the native residents of the Nine Nether Continent?"
On one side, Wang Sijie (Red Eyes) couldn’t help but say:
"You’re still dwelling on that."
Ouyang Hao, looking pensive, said:
"How can I not think about it?"
"That’s the Nine Nether Continent, people from another world."
"Originally wanted to befriend them, but unfortunately, the time was just up."
At this moment, Yu Na added:
"You want to make friends with them, but they might not feel the same way."
Ouyang Hao glanced at Yu Na beside him but didn’t retort, instead sighed and said:
"I really don’t know what this game is up to."
"Why create an opposition mechanism? Can’t we coexist peacefully?"
Shen Yanhua said at this time:
"Peaceful coexistence?"
"The game forums are blowing up now."
"Everyone is saying that those native residents of the Nine Nether Continent are like lunatics, killing anyone they see."
"Don’t know how many people have been killed by them, losing equipment and experience."
"It seems impossible to coexist peacefully like this."
Just then, Lin Yi’s voice suddenly came from the door, saying:
"What are you guys chatting about that’s so lively?"
Everyone saw Lin Yi appear and immediately got up to greet him:
"Boss Feng."
Lin Yi casually pulled up a chair to sit down beside them and asked again:
"Tell me, what happened when you were in the Demon Forest today."
Lin Yi had been soaking in the Endless Tower all day, and it was already past six in the evening when he returned from the Land of Extreme Cold.
Listening to their conversation earlier, Lin Yi felt something vaguely amiss.
Then, everyone began to talk over each other about today’s events in the Demon Forest, some of their own experiences, some from hearsay.
After listening to all the information, Lin Yi instinctively furrowed his brows.
Clearly, the opening of the Demon Forest had caused far more significant repercussions in the Nine Nether Continent than Lin Yi had anticipated.
Based on player feedback, it seems most players were caught off guard by them.
But do not forget.
Players are just players.
So they lost some experience and equipment at most when they died.
But once these players realized and became cautious, could the native residents of Nine Nether Continent withstand the players’ backlash?
After all, these natives cannot resurrect; when they die, they are dead.
Lin Yi’s thought at this moment was:
The original intention to open the Demon Forest should be to let players help the native residents of Nine Nether Continent resolve the threat of demons in the forest.
Players would gain experience and equipment while killing demons.
This should have been a win-win situation.
But evidently, the situation on the first day seemed to be quite contrary.
It would be ironic if the demon problem remained unsolved, yet the native residents of Nine Nether Continent were wiped out by angry players.
With this thought, Lin Yi suddenly said:
"In the future, when you encounter them in the Demon Forest, avoid killing them unless necessary."
Lin Yi obviously couldn’t stop billions of players from doing so, but considering his identity in the Nine Nether Continent, he thought to himself: ’Maybe I should take some time to visit the Nine Nether Continent.’
Of course, Ouyang Hao and the others understood why Lin Yi said so.
In fact, even if Lin Yi didn’t say it, they would do the same.
Of course.
If encountered with those who are extremely wicked and seeking their own demise, they would naturally not be merciful.
When the affair ended, Lin Yi suddenly asked:
"By the way, where’s Aifula?"
Lin Yi looked around and didn’t see Aifula.
Everyone glanced at each other, then shook their heads indicating:
"We haven’t seen her for quite some time either."
Lin Yi didn’t pay too much attention.
He guessed that Aifula might be at Elf Race Gamplov’s place.
He wondered how the Elemental Spirit he brought back from the Nine Nether Continent was doing.
At this moment, Jiang Jiaying walked over with a pot of steaming boiled fish and said:
"Dinner’s ready, everyone, let’s discuss stuff after dinner."
Upon hearing it’s dinner time, Ian and Isabelle, who were playing on the side, immediately came over and seated themselves at the table.
Zhang Xinying brought over a pot of soup afterward, Lin Yi intended to step forward and help, but Zhang Xinying refused, saying:
"Just sit and wait to eat."
Having just gotten up, Lin Yi couldn’t help but chuckle dryly and sat back down:
"Thanks for the hard work."
Zhang Xinying couldn’t help but roll her eyes:
"What’s so hard about cooking a meal."
Seeing Lin Yi’s embarrassed look, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
Shangguan Yue, noticing the situation and a hint of envy flashing in her eyes, got up and said:
"Xinying Sis, let me help you."
Facing Shangguan Yue, Zhang Xinying didn’t refuse:
"Sure!"
Saying this, Shangguan Yue took Zhang Xinying’s hand and headed to the kitchen.
At this time, Guo Shaojie handed the tablet to Lin Yi and said:
"Boss Feng, could ’Paradise Island’ be the place you mentioned last time you wanted to go to the Nine Nether Continent to find the mysterious key?"
Lin Yi took the tablet from Guo Shaojie’s hand, checked some official information, and nodded:
"That’s the place."
Additionally, Lin Yi realized that ’Paradise Island’, opening tomorrow, might be similar to the ’Demon Forest’, with a daily time limit for everyone.
Moreover, Lin Yi discovered that the experience gain on ’Paradise Island’ was surprisingly high at 200%.
However, according to their rank in the Anti-Demon Corps, the higher the player’s rank, the longer they could stay on ’Paradise Island’.
Lin Yi looked for a while and, seeing no other special information, then said:
"Let’s talk about this after dinner."
But just as Lin Yi was about to return the tablet, he suddenly paused.
Guo Shaojie was puzzled:
"Boss Feng?"
Lin Yi took back the tablet, logged into his game account, and:
Then Lin Yi found the video he recorded today at the level 70 altar of the Endless Tower.
Just then, Zhang Xinying happened to pass by:
"What are you looking at? Eat first."
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment but still opened the video and handed it to Zhang Xinying, saying:
"Take a look at this."
