"Oh, so it was just an upgrade. No wonder."
The survivors throughout Huaxia, Tang Mo included, all assumed the incident with the watches was due to an upgrade initiated by the base’s research institute.
Only Qin Ling’s expression grew darker the more he scrolled through the watch’s more refined and comprehensive pages and information.
’This watch... it really did upgrade itself.’
In the most prominent spot on the main screen, there was a small mail icon. In the top-right corner of the icon was a red number 1.
This indicated a new message, and everyone subconsciously tapped on the mail icon.
The email opened.
We interrupt with an important announcement: One of the Five Beads, the Spirit Power Pearl, has appeared in the world. Once all Five Beads are gathered, the Huaxia Continent will unlock the Hell Mode adventure Chapter. The person who gathers all Five Beads will receive immense energy, becoming the Chosen One to help all of Huaxia overcome this crisis.
P.S. The land where each bead appears contains a large quantity of High-level, Intermediate, and Basic Level Crystal Stones to help the people of Huaxia increase their Overall Strength for the challenges ahead.
Good luck.
These three short lines sent the entire world into an uproar. Everyone read them over and over for a long, long time.
They understood every word, but when read together, it felt as if something was wrong with their reading comprehension.
However, from the term "people of Huaxia," everyone already understood that the source of this email was not as simple as S Base.
Yet they were unwilling to easily believe that the world had turned into a fantasy novel. Everyone rubbed their eyes and pinched themselves, trying to wake up faster.
"Is it aliens?" Tang Mo murmured.
"It’s like a game." Tang Mo had also played games in college; everything now felt like she was inside one.
But since she had already experienced something as unbelievable as rebirth, there was nothing she couldn’t accept.
She, of all people, understood the contents of that email the best.
’The Five Beads... that must be referring to the pearl beneath the quicksand, the one Sand Town has been after.’
’If this one here is the Spirit Power Pearl, then the other four must be the Life Force, Agility, Strength, and Space Pearls.’
’As for the High-level, Intermediate, and Basic Crystal Stones, that’s even easier to understand. They correspond to the Blood Red Crystal Stone, Light Blue Crystal Stone, and White Crystal Stone that I obtained.’
However, as for what the email said would happen after collecting the Five Beads, that was something she couldn’t clearly figure out right now.
’Collect all Five Beads?’
Tang Mo wasn’t that confident in herself.
She had only been able to retrieve the Spirit Power Pearl because Jingjing was a Spirit Attribute growth-type mutant beast, which allowed it to go down and trigger it successfully.
As for the other four pearls, she didn’t have several more Jingjings lying around.
’Perhaps a Divine Beast like Jingjing is the key to triggering the pearls?’
