You made all the streamers on the internet kneel before you when you were asked to make a game.

The Federal Live Broadcast Room has finally resumed operation after a brief signal interruption and black screen.

Tens of millions of viewers witnessed the entire thrilling escape, and the barrage of comments went wild.

On the forum, screenshots and short videos about "fake Taoist priests" and "flesh mountain dragon kings" were being forwarded wildly, with each title more sensational than the last.

In particular, the map "Sea Fog Town" in the second chapter of "Reincarnation" was so grand that the map itself completely collapsed and became a legendary forbidden zone.

Just as Lu Zhixing regained consciousness, the main storyline's conclusion was announced.

[Congratulations to players "Scientific Cult Leader", "Historical Archives", "Rampaging Dragon Bro", "Old Driver Take Me With You", and behind-the-scenes contributor "Old E" for successfully solving the core mystery of Sea Mist Town.]

S-rank!

Another S-class!

Although the side effects of the reward seem extremely severe, the attribute of "immunity to one-time instant-death attack" is enough to drive all players crazy with envy!

This is a true second life!

[Player "Qing Shi Archives" acted as a guide and guardian in this event, uncovering the truth behind Zhenhai Tower's "Gu Poisoning" scheme, solving a century-old mystery, and protecting teammates at the last moment. Knowledge and guardianship contribution rate: 90%, rating: S!]

The viewers in the live stream have become numb.

Professor Chen's profession is practically tailor-made for him!

[Player "Raging Dragon Bro," as the core sufferer in this event, physically withstood the mental impact of the "Garment of Resentful Marriage" to create conditions for his partner to devour the remnant soul, and repeatedly overdrawn his yang energy and mental strength. His contribution was 75%, rated A+.]

[Reward: Special title "Number One Freeloader in the Ghost Realm"! Item "Yin Yang Harmony Pill" x1!]

Upon seeing this title, more than half of the tens of millions of viewers in the live stream burst out laughing.

[The Ghost Realm's Number One gigolo? Official commentary, the most lethal!]

[Hahaha, Brother Long will never be able to hold his head up again in this lifetime!]

[But... +5% to all attributes? That title is a god-tier skill! And that pill completely cured Brother Long's worst negative status! A huge win!]

The audience was buzzing with discussion.

Although the title is a bit of a gimmick, the reward is genuinely amazing!

[Player "Old Driver Take Me With You" drove the Underworld Bus to rescue everyone in a critical moment. Although he has a history of being pickled, his merits outweigh his demerits, contributing 40% and receiving a B rating.]

[Reward: Special item "Route Book No. 444" x1.]

[Route Book No. 444: The holder will not get lost while driving a vehicle and will be able to perceive the safest (or shortest) route within 1 kilometer ahead.]

The veteran driver grinned as he looked at his B-level rating and reward.

very satisfied.

This navigation book is practically a godsend for someone like him who has no sense of direction.

However, it's a bit of a shame that someone with a terrible sense of direction couldn't persevere to the end.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted and rushed over by bus after being resurrected.

[Special contribution player "Old E", although not entering the main story map, obtained the key item "Insightful Lens" by exploring the side story dungeon "Caged Bird", and selflessly transferred it to his teammates, providing core assistance in solving the mystery of Zhenhai Tower.

This announcement caused an uproar among all the players.

It turns out that exploring side quests can indeed affect the main storyline and earn main rewards!

I don't know how much time passed.

Ahead, a faint light appeared.

It was a solitary stone tablet.

The stone tablet is engraved with three large, blood-red characters.

The Village of the Wrongfully Dead.

They're back!

……

Happiness Apartment, Room 404.

Hao Ren finally collected enough fright points to upgrade the system to LV3.

[Core Material Library Unlocked: Xiangxi Corpse Transport, Miao Gu Techniques, Yinshan Taoist Magic, Paper-Made Spirit House.]

[New Feature Enabled: Horror Visualization Editor.]

A brand new user interface appeared before Hao Ren's eyes.

He no longer needs to select models from the resource library and then manually place them one by one, as he used to.

Now, he only needs to enter a few keywords.

For example: eerie, mountain path, bell ringing, fog, corpse-driving team...

The editor will then automatically calculate and generate a scene with a strong Chinese aesthetic and a terrifying atmosphere.

Efficiency has increased more than a hundredfold.

"very good."

Hao Ren nodded; Haiwu Town had become a restricted area.

But the backstory of that "false Taoist priest" can serve as a good starting point.

A terrifying map themed around "mountains and wilderness," "Taoist practices," and "corpse transformation" began to take shape in his mind.

However, before that...

Hao Ren glanced at the player forum.

The village of the unjustly killed has changed its appearance.

Thanks to Lu Zhixing and Brother Long's S-level completion of the level, the terrifying cycle of the Village of the Dead was completely broken.

Although the fog still shrouded the village and made it impossible to leave, the hostility of the ghosts and monsters in the village had greatly decreased.

The night watchman stopped patrolling, the zombie king in the ancestral hall turned to charcoal, and the paper craft shop owner returned to his shop.

This place has become a large... newbie village safe zone.

Countless players who were terrified in Seamist Town, as well as new players brought in by Midnight Bus, gathered here.

In an instant, the village of the wrongfully deceased was teeming with people.

No, it was a bustling scene of people and ghosts.

This place has been transformed into a large trading plaza and social center.

The two "celebrities" are currently enjoying top-notch treatment.

At the west end of the village, in the best tiled house, a brand-new nanmu coffin is placed in the center.

The raging dragon was lying in this coffin, undergoing "recuperation".

The ghost bride stayed by her side without leaving for a moment, holding a bowl of steaming porridge in her hand.

The porridge emitted a strange aroma, and seemed to contain some kind of warm energy.

This is Brother Long's fan club, which crowdfunded ghost money to purchase the game item "Yang Qi Porridge" at a high price.

It is said that drinking a bowl of this can accelerate the recovery of yang energy.

The ghost bride was carefully feeding Brother Long spoonful by spoonful.

At the east end of the village, under the large locust tree where players are most concentrated.

Lu Zhixing sat cross-legged, absorbing the "human energy" and "yang fire" emanating from the surrounding players to nourish his damaged soul.

His tattered Book of Life and Death floated before him, emitting a faint, eerie light, resisting the invasion of yin energy.

Both top players are "in jail" recovering their losses.

The entire game process of "Reincarnation" seems to have entered a brief period of calm.

Many players even started playing "hide-and-seek" and "house" in the Village of the Wrongfully Dead.

Until Hao Ren opened the Nebula Platform and posted a new game announcement.

[Underworld Zone: Free Short Story Now Available - "The Vigil"]

[Type: Single player, small space, rule-based puzzle]

[Synopsis: An elder has passed away, and you need to keep vigil for them for one night. Remember, no matter what happens, don't let them know you are afraid.]

This announcement was made.

All the players who were feeling "bored" instantly perked up.

Products made by "Good People" are guaranteed to be of high quality!

And it's free!

Countless players, thinking "I'll give it a try, it's definitely not scary," clicked to enter the game.

White wax, paper money, and three incense sticks.

A pitch-black coffin sat in the center of the main room.

This is the entirety of the scenes in "The Vigil".

A dilapidated funeral hall.

The player's role is that of the deceased's grandchild, dressed in coarse hemp mourning clothes, kneeling on a prayer mat in front of the coffin.

There is only one main mission: to stay here all night until dawn.

On the wall, there was a set of rules written with a brush.

There are only three.

First, the white candles on both sides of the mourning hall must not be extinguished.

Second, no matter what sound you hear, you must not leave the meditation cushion.

Third, you must immediately close your eyes whenever you hear a cat meowing.

The rules are simple and clear, and the scenario is also readily apparent.

"That's it? I thought it would be something more terrifying."

"I could pass all three rules with my eyes closed."

"Has the 'good teacher' run out of ideas this time? This scene is too simple."
