It was supposed to be a casual game, but the Long March dungeon brought tears to everyone's eye

At the end of the video, the blizzard stopped.

The three of them helped the nearly exhausted Old Li cross the snow-covered mountain pass.

As the sunlight shone on them, Zhu Yi, representing the three of them, opened his status bar.

Name: Zhu Yi

Health: 1% (Locked)

[Status: Severe frostbite (grade 3 on both hands, grade 4 on both feet), multiple tissue necrosis, permanent agility -5, constitution -3]

[Willpower: 150% (Burning)]

A brand new attribute bar, never before seen on any player interface, appeared before everyone.

The golden bar representing "willpower" was burning fiercely like a flame.

It was this "flame" that forcibly locked in the last 1% of health the moment the health points reached zero.

This body, which should have fallen, remains standing.

The video ended abruptly there, but it ignited a frenzy on the Chinese internet.

Countless game streamers, military bloggers, and data analysts rushed to the scene immediately, conducting frame-by-frame and pixel-by-pixel analysis of the short five-minute video.

The results of the analysis shocked everyone on an even deeper level.

"Guys, I slowed down the video by 0.1x, look here!"

A tech-savvy streamer was pointing at the screen in his live stream, his voice trembling.

"Before the blizzard arrived, Zhu Yi looked up at the sky for only 0.5 seconds."

"Based on the speed and shape of the cloud movement, he instantly determined the size and direction of the storm, which allowed them to find the optimal shelter point immediately!"

"What terrifying battlefield intuition!"

"And here too! The three of them took turns taking off their clothes to wrap the iron pot, and they didn't just take them off randomly! Each person's time to undress was precisely controlled to 90 seconds!"

"This is the critical time when the human body's core temperature begins to drop sharply in extremely cold environments! They are using a stopwatch to time their lives!"

"The most terrifying thing is this—human heating..."

Every detail that was uncovered sent a chill down the spines of viewers watching the live stream.

This goes far beyond the scope of "gaming expert".

That kind of calmness, that kind of discipline, that kind of extreme control over the environment and oneself—only one type of person can achieve that.

—A true soldier.

The appearance of the willpower attribute at the end of the video completely overturned all players' understanding of this game.

"So willpower really is an attribute!"

"I knew it! Brother Kuang wasn't cheating at the snow mountain pass!"

"What does 150% mean? Does it mean using mental energy as fuel to forcibly squeeze the body's potential?"

"This is true idealism! When your body reaches its limit, what determines your life or death is no longer data, but your will!"

"You old scoundrel Luo, I'm kneeling before you! You actually managed to incorporate this incredibly mysterious thing into the game!"

The players suddenly realized.

They finally understood why only Madman had triggered the hidden setting of the Willpower attribute.

Without removing the barrier to pain, it's difficult to reach the so-called "limit" in a relationship.

The most powerful weapon in this game is not money or equipment.

It is the indomitable will of humankind!

This discovery thrilled all the players.

Tencent and Wangqi have become the biggest laughing stock on the internet.

"@Tencent's Winter Project Team, come out and say something? Are you still calling it a bug?"

"Hilarious! A bunch of data slaves who only know KPIs and recharge rebates have no idea what military spirit is."

Wang Qi: I've calculated it ten thousand times, and the data tells me it's impossible. Zhuque Military Region: Sorry, the word 'impossible' doesn't exist in our dictionary.

"This time, the government is stepping in to teach capitalists a lesson."

Meanwhile, Luo An's system information was flooded with messages about his emotional value skyrocketing.

He opened the system backend and consumed 10 emotion points.

[Redeem "Willpower Visualization System (Beginner)" and load it to all players... Loading complete.]

[Redeem the "Vermilion Bird Military Region Exclusive Training Channel" and open it to designated targets... Opening complete.]

After finishing all this, Luo An stretched.

The Zhuque Military Region had already contacted him.

The military's involvement wasn't just about releasing this one video.

Meanwhile, Tencent's "Winter" is facing widespread criticism online.

"First recharge of 6 yuan gets you a golden gun? Sorry, we choose to lock in 1% health with willpower."

"A 98 yuan exoskeleton? Forget it, our brothers' backs are much tougher than an exoskeleton."

"While Winter is still teaching us how to spend money, Red Expedition is already teaching us how to be human."

The number of online players for "Winter" is now in grave danger after this battle.

After all, it's obvious to everyone that Tencent's online trolls were stirring up trouble before.

But the most ruthless thing is that Qin Zhenguo, the retired senior official who once published a commentary in the Cultural Affairs Bureau's internal publication, spoke out again.

This time, Qin Zhenguo published a signed commentary.

The title is: "At the end of the data, stands a person in capital letters."

"...While some companies are still obsessed with using big data to analyze user psychology and building business empires with various recharge traps, we are delighted to see that another spark is asking questions about the soul of our time in the simplest yet greatest way."

"...They tried to use cold, hard data to deconstruct sacrifice, to define faith, and to question the most precious spiritual wealth of our nation. They believed that anything that cannot be quantified is a bug, is fake."

"They're wrong. They don't understand that when a person's will transcends the boundaries of life and death, that person themselves becomes the greatest data. They don't understand that some things cannot be measured in money, nor can they be written in code."

"That's called 'soul'."

……

The storm of public opinion comes and goes quickly.

After the Zhuque Military Region and Elder Qin stepped down, everything settled down.

The timely introduction of the "Willpower Visualization System" by Luo An has excited all players.

Although this system can only be activated when a player's physical fitness, health, and other physiological indicators are nearing their limits.

After all, not every player has the courage to completely remove the pain shield.

But its very existence is a huge inspiration.

It's like telling every player: Don't give up, your spirit is your last weapon.

After the initial shock and excitement, Kuang Ge, Ying Yan, and Ruan Ruan devoted all their energy to reviewing the grassland dungeon and developing a strategy.

"We can't learn the abnormal fighting style of those guys in the Zhuque Military Region."

Hawkeye frowned in the voice channel.

"That level of discipline and tactical skill is cultivated through risking one's life."

"We're just ordinary players; trying to imitate them will only lead to our demise."

"But their thinking has given us a lot of inspiration."

"That's right," Kuang Ge chimed in.

"They are adapting to the environment and making use of all available resources."

"The core of the snow mountain is to keep warm and protect it from the wind, so they used their bodies to protect the fire and the iron pot."

"What is the core of that meadow?" Ruan Ruan asked.

"It's dryness and fire," Hawkeye said incisively.

"We tried several times but all of us were wiped out. The cause of death was ultimately a rainstorm, which deprived us of dry clothes and the ability to light a fire."

"Damp cold is far more deadly than dry cold."

"Therefore, our primary goal is not to get on the road, but to figure out how to make a fire in this muddy place."
