Before long, over four hours had passed. Ding! Congratulations. You have successfully defeated the Level 30 mutated boss, Terrashard Tiger. Ding! Congratulations. Your level has increased to Lv22. Ding! Congratulations. Your beast, Gray, has reached Lv22. Another mutated boss fell. Aiden's level rose again and reached 22. He glanced at the time. Just as he expected, his game session was about to reach the daily limit. "Gray, let's go." He led Gray and quickly left Ashfog Valley. In Doomsday, players could log out freely as long as they were in normal zones. Only in certain special areas was logging out restricted. In theory, players could log out even with beasts nearby, as long as they were not locked on. However, no normal person would ever make such a reckless choice because no one could guarantee what they would face the next time they logged in. If he happened to log back in just as a boss wandered by, a single strike could kill him before he even had a chance to react. In fact, many players got too caught up in grinding and failed to manage their time. They were kicked out in the middle of a fight and returned only to be overwhelmed and killed by beasts. Therefore, logging out in a safe zone was always the safest choice. Ashfog Valley was far from any safe zone. Aiden chose a relatively secure spot nearby to log out. As usual, he checked the trending posts on the forum. 'Player NightTiger Dies. How Terrifying is the Abyss-level Tier Advancement Trial? What Does it Mean for Ordinary Players?' Just as expected, the news of NightTiger's death after declaring he would attempt the Abyss trial appeared. Aiden had anticipated this, and it stirred no emotion in him. He did not even feel like clicking on it and continued scrolling. 'Nighthale levels up again. Two levels in a single day. Still top of the leaderboard. Who can stop him?' 'Level 22 came so quickly, it felt almost effortless. Seriously? Does leveling really get easier the higher you go? Can anyone explain this?' 'After Grendola, Merica is now covered by Doomsday. Experts predict this supernatural phenomenon will eventually sweep the world.' 'Entering sleep triggers the game. Doomsday has become an issue all humanity must face. What is the future?' The rest were updates on Doomsday or discussions about NightTiger's rapid leveling. Clearly, as his lead over other players grew, Aiden's influence continued to rise. Yet he had no interest in it. Instead, one post caught his attention: 'Player "Greenwhisper" Leads Team to Conquer Hard-level Tier Advancement Trial. Live Q&A Reveals: Dying in the Trial Does Not Affect Real Life.' "Greenwhisper?" Aiden frowned. That ID was unfamiliar.He searched his memory. There was no such person among Grendola's top players in his previous life. After thinking for a moment, he clicked into the livestream. A female host with a delicate face was interviewing a young man with refined features. "Greenwhisper, as the first player to complete the Hard-level Tier Advancement Trial and the first to pass a Tier Advancement Trial since Nighthale, how do you feel right now?" "Not much to feel. I just got lucky. Also, I need to clarify that I didn't pass the trial alone. I led my team and we barely managed to succeed." Greenwhisper smiled modestly. "I see." The host nodded. "I noticed your choice of words, 'lucky' and 'barely.' Does that mean the Hard-level Tier Advancement Trial was extremely difficult for you?" Greenwhisper's expression turned serious. "Not just for me, but for all players." "Honestly, without exaggeration, within Grendola, I might not be as strong as ZeroFlux or NightTiger, but my level is still top-tier."My team members are about the same. Even so, we still suffered casualties during the trial. "I am not exaggerating. I hope players fully consider their own strength before challenging it. Doomsday is far tougher than it looks." The host could not hide her surprise. "Casualties in your team? In real life…" "Don't worry." Greenwhisper smiled. "They are fine in reality, though their game attributes dropped quite a bit." "I see." The host finally relaxed. Greenwhisper continued. "Also, we spoke with the Trial Temple NPCs in depth. They didn't give clear answers, but we did get some information."
