[Live Streaming + Full-Dive Game + Animal Simulation + Esports]
Beast Dominion is a full-dive real-time strategy game. Players command animal tribes as they forage and hunt for treasure in simulated environments, collecting survival points to grow stronger. The winner is the player who eliminates everyone else and claims dominion over their territory.
As a veteran Beast Dominion player, Wanshi is determined to take first place in the Fifth Global Championship.
Wanshi has failed three times already and has been inactive for a full nine years.
The once-lauded prodigy was dismissed as a flash in the pan who just got lucky. This time, she's taking back everything she's lost!
But there's a problem... Players are assigned a random species when they enter, and Wanshi gets off to a bad start. All three available species are useless, and her next move is even more baffling. She picks the most niche option of them all: the ant tribe. Her talents are all about farming and running away, too.
Netizens give their hot takes:
"The first player preparing for next year's championship has arrived."
"Is the Emperor trying to surrender with this move and save face for dropping out so early?"
"Don't make me laugh. Her skills are what they are. The championship's famous pushover, known across the land, doesn't need to save face."
"Wanshi goes berserk as soon as she enters the global championship. Who put a curse on her?"
But Wanshi chose the ants precisely because people looked down on them.
Ants are born tiny, and even the biggest are no larger than a pinky-finger joint. A single ant is nothing to write home about, but who can tell how much all those busy little black dots get done?
The netizens certainly don't notice. The ants stream into one livestream after another, and then, all of a sudden, people wonder: Huh? Why was the player I'm following eliminated out of nowhere? And Wanshi did it!
Look closer, and it's clear: When did she take over so much territory? How did she gather so many resources? Can the ant tribe really do that? Since when were ants this strong? They're a surefire T0 species!
"What kind of script is she playing? I can't make sense of this."
"The Emperor has returned! She's been out of the game so long that people actually started thinking Wanshi was weak. Have you forgotten who once fought eight opponents, killed three, and walked away unscathed, holding out for two and a half whole days against the entire region? If that's luck, then nobody on the screen has any skill."
"Now I want to run away whenever I see an ant. I'm terrified."
P.S.:
1. The species' abilities in this story are inspired by real life, but they don't match reality and aren't scientific. They're purely for the plot and the author's imagination.
2. The story uses a livestream format, with plenty of chat comments and commentary. If that's not your thing, proceed with caution.
3. The protagonist isn't based on anyone! Any resemblance is purely coincidental.
