I, the screenwriter, have experienced a resurgence of inspiration.

……

Beyond the dungeon, Cloudtop One.

Song Mo's short hair had been scratched into a mess by her—the game's progression speed was different from the real world, which meant that if she wanted to win, she had to concentrate fully and accurately issue tasks and hints to the players.

Fortunately, she has not needed sleep since her miraculous recovery, and even though she has been playing video games all night for the past few days, she has not experienced any physical discomfort.

Ah Yan, carrying a pomelo, floated over to glance at the documents spread out on the ground, made no sound, and then floated away quietly.

On the second night, the "Official Team," the "Druid Team," and the "Jiangcheng University Team" decided to head to the island in the lake.

On the third night, Tan Moli, a player from the Jiangcheng University team, was very lucky to discover a giant bird egg and attempted to hatch it.

The "Tyrannosaurus Rex Pirate Army" squad encountered the Wotigan Undead Squad at the edge of the forest and was completely wiped out.

[Player Henry Ward has contracted the Black Death, his health is below 1%, and he has become a ghost.]

[Player exploration progress reached 23%]

On the seventh night, Captain Jack Sparrow's crew encountered a cannibalistic troll and all members perished. Cause of death: the troll was hungry.

[Player "Tom Sora" is dead. Cause of death: While attempting to climb a troll cave in the forest, he was crushed to death by an ogre with a stone.]

[Player "Huckleberry Finn" died. Cause of death: same as above, killed by the same rock.]

[Player "Alice Monroe" has died. Cause of death: Scratched by Blackthorns at the entrance to Stranglethorn Vale, the wound became infected, and she developed a persistent high fever.]

……

[Player exploration progress reached 25%]

[Player "Anthony Hall" is dead. Cause of death: infected with the Black Death, attempted to ask his teammates for help, and was killed by them.]

[Player "Cecilia White" is dead. Cause of death: dragged into the crematorium by body collectors; teammates' attempts to rescue her failed.]

[Player "Pedro Santos" is dead. Cause of death: He entered an abandoned church alone in search of food and was crushed by the collapsing dome.]

……

Player "Susanna Miller" has died. Cause of death: contracted plague after drinking unboiled well water.

[Player "Ivan Sokolov" has died. Cause of death: While spending the night in a cemetery, he was attacked and mauled to death by wild dogs.]

[Player "Bella Clark" is dead. Cause of death: Accidentally ingested poisonous "ginger-like root," suffered hallucinations after being poisoned, and wandered alone into the forest to die.]

[Player "Shimada Megumi" dies. Cause of death: He attempted to trade information with the people of Vortigern and was executed as a spy. His head was displayed at the gates of London.]

[Player "Hannah Baker" is dead. Cause of death: Attacked by a crazed former teammate. The former teammate suffered a mental breakdown after being threatened by a body collector and attacked indiscriminately.]

……

……

System prompts and player feedback were constantly generated, with countless words flying through the air.

The late Song Dynasty was like a gamer obsessed with word games, constantly studying world maps, resource distributions, and power divisions, and then continuously issuing tasks to players:

[Side Quest: Capture the Mist Spirit in the Forest (A type of mist spirit that lives in the forest. It has no physical form and can only be captured using a net woven from gold. Once worn, it will guide travelers out of the fog.)]

[Side Quest: There is a small raven's eye mine nearby, guarded by ogre trolls. Placing raven's eye under your pillow can help you avoid being harassed by corpse collectors.]

[Side Quest: There seems to be a small, spontaneously formed black market nearby. You could go check it out...]

……

For ten consecutive days, Song Mo stayed in his villa halfway up the mountain, focusing on the "Merlin Legend" instance.

Fortunately, as long as the other instances run smoothly, there shouldn't be any problems.

The other wild dungeons she was focusing on weren't ready to open yet either.

Song Mo felt that she was playing a game of chess that would last for several days, or even longer:

It requires constant analysis to predict the world's next move and to search for any clues that Merlin might be there.

As players delve deeper into the map, Song Mo's exploration of the map gradually increases.

The whole world seemed to be slowly unfolding before her, shy and hesitant—

If the purpose of creating dungeons at the end of the Song Dynasty was to enhance players' combat power and build a barrier between the revived spiritual energy and the real world...

In this instance, she must deal with everything she has to do; every player is a flag or landmark she has planted in this world.

On the thirteenth night, the "Official Squad," the "Druid Squad," and the "Jiangcheng University" Squad encountered a convoy of corpse collectors, leading to a conflict.

[Chris, a player in the "Druid Squad," is attacked by gargoyles and receives a petrification curse.]

[Official team members Jiang Chen and Wang Lei contracted the Black Death.]

[Druid player Mu Xiao tamed the Eyeless Rhino and obtained the vehicle: the Rhino Cart.]

On the fifteenth day, the Vortigern army began to mobilize and search extensively for Arthur and Merlin's whereabouts.

[Player's exploration value has reached 27%]

On the seventeenth day, the "Druid Squad" decided to travel alone to Avalon Swamp, heading towards Merlin's former residence in Stranglethorn Vale, to search for the magic to remove the petrification.

The official team and the Jiangcheng University team continue their advance towards Fairy Island in the lake.

[Player discusses the hatching of the giant bird egg raised by Jasmine, adding 1 vehicle to the team's transportation fleet.]

……

[Player Weng Yang, Tan Moli, gave herbs to a group of passing villagers and received a message: The Fairy of the Lake has been missing for a long time.]

[On the nineteenth day, at the edge of the Avalon Forest, players Chen Xi and Kang Xiaojia encountered a water demon and were trapped in an illusion.]

[Player Tan Moli used the item "Banshee's Coin" and received a prophecy about herself: You will become a sword sheath.]

[On the twenty-first night, players Ryohei Kimura, Yolanda, and Pedro joined the Vortigern faction, and their race information changed to "Death Knights".]

……

[Vortigern sensed the player's presence.]

Merlin, who has long been missing, reappears in the Old City of London, in Stone Square, prophesying that the Son of Prophecy will appear, pull the sword from the stone in seven days, and become king.

[Vortigern commands wild hounds and the Night's Watch, as an army of undead pursues the player.]

[Player's exploration value has reached 50%]

……

[Vortigern has unleashed a "plague," reducing all player attributes by 30% and significantly increasing the chance of contracting the Black Death.]

The "plague" unleashed the Black Death, smallpox, malaria, and pneumonia.

All players have been marked as "red names," increasing the incidence rate to 36%.

[The official team encountered an undead legion; player Kang Xiaojia's race changed to Ghost; players Weng Yang and Jiang Chen were seriously injured.]

[Player Chen Xi is infected with the Black Death (mid-game), Zheng Wenxuan is infected with malaria, and Tan Moli is infected with the Black Death (early game).]

[Player Jiang Chen has joined the Voltigan Legion; his race has changed to Undead Knight.]

[Number of players remaining in the instance: 107; Number of players in the Writer's faction: 67]

……

……

"If you can't win, you resort to deus ex machina?! How can there be traitors defecting to the enemy?"

Outside the instance, Song Mo was so angry that he pinched his philtrum several times, wishing he could roll up his sleeves, crawl inside, and smash Wotigan to death with a meteorite.

"What kind of king is this? How many living people are left on the map?? To eliminate the enemy, he turned all the people in his own territory into corpses—this world is doomed even without players!"
