Chapter 600: The Elite 3 Team of the "Imperial Blood Slaughter the Heavens" Guild (Part 1)
Chapter 600: The Elite 3 Team of the "Imperial Blood Slaughter the Heavens" Guild (Part 1)
It wasn't just Su Yu who noticed the change in "Remaining Login Time." Since it was noon, the usual lunch hour, players were logging in and out frequently.
Boar Charge was a core member of the "Imperial Blood Slaughter the Heavens" guild. He had reached Level 56 (Mid-Tier Third Stage) and was primarily responsible for clearing the highest-level dungeons. As a member of the Elite 3 Team, he had just finished his lunch and logged back in, instinctively checking his "Remaining Login Time." He had a busy day ahead, as his team needed to complete the fourth and fifth bosses of the 25-player dungeon, "Summit of the Whirling Clouds," and time was of the essence.
However, when he saw the remaining time, he was stunned. The "Remaining Login Time" display read [24:23:22]!
What was going on?
Was there a bug in the system?
If he hadn't miscalculated, the remaining time should have been just over 8 hours, not triple that!
...
Boar Charge's guild leader, Shore Orchid, had not logged out and was instead focused on strategizing the boss fights.
Seeing Boar Charge log in, Shore Orchid quickly approached, putting an arm around his shoulder and saying, "Boar! In a bit, you need to pull the boss to the third position, the one marked with a green circle on the ground. Make sure the boss's head is facing the 10 o'clock direction to avoid the AOE attacks! Are you listening to me?"
Shore Orchid was clearly frustrated. He noticed that his main tank (MT) was completely distracted, lost in thought. How could they clear the boss with a tank like this?
Boar Charge showed no sign of remorse. Instead, he urgently said, "Leader, hold on about the boss. First, check your remaining game time!"
"What's the point of that?" Shore Orchid replied, puzzled. "If I remember correctly, we have about 8 hours left. We haven't figured out how to kill the fourth boss yet, which is quite worrying. Holy crap! 24 hours? Is the system bugged?!"
Shore Orchid's eyes widened as he stared at the virtual screen. He had never seen the remaining time exceed 12 hours.
His outburst caught the attention of the dozen or so elite team members nearby.
The members quickly checked their remaining game time and were equally shocked. The numbers all read around 24 hours!
"My God, what's going on?"
"Is this a major bug in the game?"
"It shouldn't be. This is a real world with billions of players. We've never heard of any confirmed bugs."
"Then what is it?"
"Could it be something special about this area?"
"That's unlikely. We've been clearing this boss since this morning, and this only started now."
Boar Charge concluded, "We should check the forums."
He was the first to open the game's official forum.
But what he saw made him freeze.
Just over half an hour ago, the forum was flooded with posts like "Commander Ke is not dead!" and "Welcome back, Commander Ke!"
Now, the entire forum was filled with posts like "My God, my game time has tripled!" and "Same here! Is the game bugged? Or is it some kind of event?"
It was clear that this wasn't just an issue with their team; all players were experiencing the same phenomenon.

He quickly checked the profiles of a few active and well-informed players on the forum, hoping to find some explanations. Just then, he noticed a post that had been bolded and pinned to the top by the moderators.
The post was from Leader K: "We have already started reversing the time flow rate. It is currently at 3x and is expected to reach 12x within an hour."
Excited, he quickly clicked into the post. It contained Leader K's explanation of the time flow rate and some beautiful photos he had taken of Tina, Alyssa, Morningstar, and Bernina (the cats) using the in-game camera.
Seeing this post, "Charge Forward" became instantly enthusiastic.
He hurriedly told his teammates, "I got it! Leader K is reversing the time flow rate! It's already at 3x and will go up to 12x! That means we can spend... 144 hours in the game every day!"
"Where did you see that?" his teammates asked urgently.
"Top of the official forum."
"Alright, I'll check it out too."
Everyone rushed to log into the forum and check the pinned post. However, due to the high traffic, the login process was slow and laggy, leaving everyone anxious.
"Wait, I remember!" At this moment, the team leader "Shore Orchid" suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Did everyone forget? Over a month ago, we had a public vote about reversing the time flow rate. Over 3 billion people voted, with 72% in favor, 16% abstaining, and 12% against.
"Back then, Leader K led 100,000 high-level players to gather materials for the time flow reversal. They collected Top-Grade Blaze Crystals from volcanoes and Wash Sea Cores from the ocean depths. We didn't go, but the guild was discussing it a lot. You guys didn't forget, right?"
"Oh, that event! I remember now!" Most of the teammates suddenly recalled.
"Charge Forward" also chimed in, "That's right. It's been over a month, and there was the 'Gravity Funnel' incident in between. I almost forgot about it!"
"Who wouldn't? I almost forgot too," a teammate agreed.
The material collection process only took a day and didn't have a significant impact. Afterward, everyone's attention was diverted by the "Gravity Funnel" incident, so it's no wonder they forgot.
At this moment, a player in the team suddenly exclaimed, "If the time flow rate is reversed, does that mean we'll have plenty of time to tackle the bosses?!"
"Exactly. Once Leader K completes the time reversal, we can still play for... my goodness, 72 hours today!"
The team leader "Shore Orchid" was also overjoyed.
He looked around at the 20 or so teammates and shouted, "Everyone, stop discussing. We won't get anywhere with this right now. Let's wait a few hours and see what the forum discussion concludes.
"Let's focus on tackling the bosses! After we take down Bosses 4 and 5, we'll have the rest of the time for free activities!"
"Okay, team leader."
"Got it!"
The players present were all elite humans, and they knew exactly what needed to be done.
They stopped discussing and began to methodically tackle the boss in front of them.
Boss 4 was named Etaelus, a massive dragon skilled in wind magic.
The entire boss run went smoothly.
Three hours later, Etaelus let out a mournful cry as his health bar hit zero, and he fell to the ground under the feet of the Blood Emperor Elite Team 3.
