Tak.. Tak.. Tak… Click.. Click.. Click..

The sound of the keyboard and mouse echoed in the silent night. In the dim bedroom, a young man with black headphones and messy hair muttered to himself excitedly while biting a dried squid.

"Hehehe, in terms of gathering resources, no one can compare to me." His deep voice was full of confidence.

Bang!

Loud sound of BGM was heard clearly by Feng Yue through the headphones. Seeing the huge golden word 'Mission Clear!' on the screen, he laughed and said, "I finally got this legendary seed."

Just when he was immersed in happiness, he heard a notification sound, and a series of words appeared on his screen.

Ding!

Congratulations to player 'Shuang Yue' for completing the legendary hidden mission 'Phantom Seed'. As the only player to complete the hidden mission, you can choose 4 rewards from the list.

1. Phantom Seed

2. Lord token ( Own safe area )

3. Keep the life skills level and skills.

4. Keep the combat level and skills.

5. Keep the current gears.

6. Keep the inventory bag and warehouse ( 30% of total items )

7. Keep the gold coins and gems.

Feng Yue looked at the rewards list and pondered for a moment before clicking the reward he wanted. Since he took a lot of effort to complete the hidden mission, he must choose the phantom seed. He also needed a plot of land in order to sow the seed, so he chose the Lord token. As a hoarder, he certainly couldn't leave the inventory bag and warehouse behind, so he picked it from the list.

As for the final reward, he was in a dilemma. As a beta player, his gear can be said to be one of the top ranks in the leaderboard. He is overflowing with money, which allows him to enhance and buy materials without problems, making him a top player with a full set of purple equipment. But his passion for playing this ‘Phantom Online’ MMORPG is the life skills feature. So, he chose to maintain his life skill level and skills.

After choosing his reward, a bunch of announcements were broadcast on the world chat.

"Congratulations to player Shuang Yue for becoming the first player to clear the legendary hidden mission."

"With the completion of the legendary hidden mission in the Phantom Online public closed beta test, the server will be shut down in advance. Thanks to all the players who participated in the closed beta testing. Servers will be shut down in ten seconds. Ten.. Nine.. Eight.."

When the players saw the countdown, many people scolded the game developer and quickly quit the game, including Feng Yue. After quitting the game, he was confused by the sudden notification.

"Does it mean the closed beta test is over? What about my reward?" He muttered while scratching his head.

Since he didn't know what was going on, he decided to get some sleep before sending an email to the game developer asking about his reward tomorrow.

At 00.00 AM, the laptop on the desktop glows softly.

Ding!

[ Assimilate the Phantom Online with World AE078. ]

Ding!

[ Sending rewards to player Shuang Yue. ]

Ding!

[ The reward has been sent. The assimilation progress is complete. Welcome to the Phantom Online, happy gaming! ]

After the mechanical sound disappeared, the laptop on the table became transparent and disappeared completely after a while.

Without noticing these strange phenomena, Feng Yue still slept soundly, dreaming of becoming the richest man in the world.

*****

The next morning, Feng Yue woke up feeling groggy. Looking at the window, it was still dark outside. He rarely wakes up this early, usually his biological clock will force him to get up at 08.00 am. He stretched his sore body and sat up while yawning. 

With his eyes half closed, he scratched her stomach as he walked to the bathroom.  He feels a little different today when he brushes his teeth and washes his face. 

"Why is it so quiet? Although it's still early, there are many residents who get up earlier than me and go out for a jog in the morning."

After washing up, he felt much more awake. As soon as he turned around, he saw a transparent box floating in front of him, and he was stunned speechless. He rubbed his eyes a few times, wondering if he was still dreaming.

After rubbing for a while,  he still saw the box in front of him. It looks similar to the one on the Phantom Online MMORPG. There is a mail notification on the transparent box. Feeling both scared and excited, Feng Yue touched the mail notification with his trembling finger.

As soon as his finger touched the exclamation mark, he heard a beep, and the box was replaced with a mail with attachments.

[ Congratulations to player Shuang Yue. This is the reward for completing the legendary hidden mission. Do you want to accept your rewards now? Yes or No ]

Feng Yue stared at the mail in front of him, and pressed the "Yes" button blankly. Before he could react, another mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

Ding!

[ Assimilating World AE078’s Feng Yue’s information with the Phantom Online data. Assimilation completed. Welcome to the Phantom Online player Shuang Yue, happy gaming! ]

When the mechanical sound disappeared, Feng Yue saw many transparent buttons appear in front of him. These buttons are identical to the interface of the Phantom Online MMORPG!

He touched the storage bag button with trembling fingers, and a box in a bag shape with small grids appeared in front of him. The 50 / 300 count appeared on the top right of the box. He looked at the contents of the inventory bag, and sure enough, it was his inventory bag in the Phantom Online MMORPG. The items and amounts were the same as when he was last online yesterday.

When he was still at a loss, a loud sound came from outside.

BOOM!!

Feng Yue rushed to the window and saw tons of monsters raining down from the vortex in the sky. Sounds of people screaming and running were heard from the outside. The situation was chaotic at the moment. He rushed to change his pajamas with sportswear and hurriedly kept the foods he had into a backpack.

Just a few seconds after he finished carrying his backpack, there was a loud noise coming from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Prank!
