The old door opened automatically in front of him, and he leisurely walked up to the third floor.

The room was quiet.

The girls, who had been terrified all night, finally managed to fall asleep. They looked pitiful yet adorable, their faces pale and their brows delicate. They wrapped themselves in the blankets as if trying to give themselves a last bit of protection.

The fat parrot in the cage had also fallen asleep, dozing with its eyes closed. Bai Weiran touched the cage first, sending the parrot back to the real world.

It must have worked hard reciting bedtime stories from the Analects of Confucius all night.

Then he stood at the very front of the dormitory and raised his hands upwards—

The beds immediately stood upright, and the sleeping girls, still groggy, could only clutch their blankets before collapsing to the ground with a soft groan.

"Get up, everyone."

"It's another refreshing morning."

"A good day starts with a strong body. Ten laps of running, the slogan remains the same. You have ten minutes to wash up and change. If you are not on the track and field after ten minutes—oh, I haven't thought of any punishment yet. You can try to see how I feel then."

This threat of variable punishment was more terrifying than actual punishment. The girls turned pale with fright and rushed out together, clutching their toiletries.

Even with the will to resist, one cannot overcome the weakening effect of physical physiology on willpower.

Yesterday was a long and tiring day, and I was scared all night. I didn't sleep well at all. Even criminal investigators know that if you don't hit or scold someone, you can't sleep. Even the most hard-willed bad guys can't stand it, let alone a group of young girls.

They were more well-behaved than yesterday.

Bai Weiran stood on the rooftop, watching the girls rush out of the school building to assemble, with Nana reporting to him from the side.

"Hawkeye Nana reports: Last night, eleven girls who tried to escape were successfully captured, twenty-eight who attempted to go to the rooftop were intercepted, and all were driven back to their dormitories—"

She has returned to her adorable loli form, her little hand placed between her eyebrows, saluting like a soldier.

After she finished her report, a look of longing appeared on her face again.

"Mr. William, can Nana come into the dormitory and play with them too?"

They all stayed in their dorm rooms all night and wouldn't come out. She was so bored!

But they didn't dare go in, because Mr. William had said not to chase them once they entered the dormitory.

Bai Weiran: …………

Horror games that don't even provide safe zones will drive players crazy.

But he couldn't say that to Nana, so he just gently patted her head.

“When they come into the dormitory, it means they are going to sleep. You should give them some time to rest.”

"Those who don't want to sleep want to play, so you can play with them as much as you like."

"Great!!!"

Nana then made a request to her little finger.

"Can I play with them during the day too, Mr. William? I want to play with them all day long."

Bai Weiran: …………

If you play with them during the day, then who will build my dark room for me?

But he still changed his tone.

"No, Nana, you've worked hard all night, you need to rest during the day. I'm not some evil capitalist who wants to exploit you. Get some rest and recharge. If you're really bored, you can read some books, watch some horror movies or something, find some new ways to have fun with them, right?"

In short, it allows the incredible legends on campus to upgrade on their own.

Nana's eyes were round and bright, and she responded loudly, "Okay!"

They both looked towards the playground, where the girls had already begun running laps on their own.

While running, shout the designated slogan—

"One, two! One, two! I will study hard, live well, lift my skirt, put away my knife, and not take it upon myself to hurt others or myself."

"One, two! One, two! I'm a yandere, how dare you even talk to me about love!?"

Nana found it amusing to be next to Bai Weiran, jumping and skipping around, cupping her arms into a megaphone shape, and shouting along towards the playground—

"I'm a yandere, how dare you all try to date me!?"

Bai Weiran pressed her head down.

"You don't need to shout."

Nana has a pair of big, bright violet eyes.

"Why?" But she thought it was fun.

"Because you're not a yandere."

Nana was quite disappointed, pouted, but quickly came up with another idea.

"...Can I take it?"

I think yandere characters are so cool!!!

Bai Weiran's face instantly turned icy, his lips curled into a cold smile, his gaze sharp as lightning, and he looked like a ferocious demon.

"Can't!!"

You want to turn evil, huh? You bastard!!

Xx

As the girls, panting, crossed the reappearing finish line sign that read "Heaven will bestow great responsibilities upon this person," Bai Weiran reappeared before them.

"Hello, everyone."

"My task for you is to work together for a week to restore the surrounding environment to normal as I require."

With a flick of his finger, an A4 sheet of paper immediately appeared in the hands of the girls.

They looked closely.

[Team Task: Remove all weeds in the center of the playground; reward: points]

[Group Task: Clean up the first-floor classrooms; reward points]

[Team Mission: Repair the power supply on the third floor; reward: points]

There are roughly equal numbers of group tasks and solo tasks, with group tasks offering larger rewards and solo tasks offering smaller rewards.

If these girls had played any of Bai Weiran's current project game tests, they would be surprised to find that this paper completely copied the dungeon arrangement method in Bai Weiran's project, and the numerical calculations were exactly the same.

Bai Weiran's response: Well, it's all done, might as well use it.

"I won't assign you to groups or tell you what to do. You'll have to work together to complete it yourselves," Bai Weiran shrugged.

“You’re not children anymore; you need to learn to solve problems on your own.”

"Of course, you can choose not to do these tasks. The tasks are voluntary, not mandatory, and I'm not some kind of devil." He put his hands in his pockets and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"I just want to show you before you choose whether or not to do it—"

Amidst the girls' bewilderment, he snapped his fingers.

With a whoosh, a circle of light and shadow spread out from him instantly, completely transforming the dilapidated playground into a clean and tidy space. The withered trees around it were revitalized and blossomed brilliantly, with delicate pink cherry blossoms encircling the area, creating a dreamlike scene of ten miles of cherry blossoms.

The dilapidated school building was transformed in an instant into an incredibly luxurious, snow-white, and gleaming European-style building, completely modeled after the exaggerated aristocratic academies seen in movies and TV dramas. A long, snow-white table was placed in front of the school building, with delicacies laid out like a small mountain, making the girls drool.

They sniffed, and could even smell the aroma of the food.

They were still reveling in their shock when he snapped his fingers again, and all those scenes vanished, leaving them back in ruins and decay.

"Once you complete all the tasks on the list, all of these belong to you." He smiled.

"If you don't finish, you'll only get to eat vegetable and egg noodles, and stir-fried potatoes with ginger—"

Bai Weiran's phone kept buzzing with messages while he was taking the subway to work.

【Dear user Weiran, your created dark room space is now operational, construction progress 4/100, current rating: Even a dog wouldn't want to live there——】

【Dear user Weiran, your created "Big Dark Room" space is now operational, construction progress 5/100, current rating: Even a dog could live here——】

He smiled, put away his phone, and leaned against the carriage door.

After all, the core of game design is to get people to actively complete non-essential tasks, and rewards and incentives are extremely important.

Chapter Six: An Unexpected Path to Wealth in the Dark Room!?

A meeting is being held in the small conference room.

Anan delivered a passionate forty-page presentation.

All eyes immediately turned to Bai Weiran, who was sitting at the very front and hadn't uttered a word.

Bai Weiran hummed in agreement.

"I think the suggestion is quite good."

Anan was overjoyed.

He was the new system planner recently promoted by Bai Weiran, but because he was very thoughtful and steady in his work, he was highly valued in the team.

Anan had only recently graduated from university, but because he always kept a small mustache, he was often mistaken for someone else in the group. He was clearly younger than Achao, who was a graduate student and a campus recruit, but Achao looked younger and Anan looked older with his mustache, which made their appearances seem reversed.

I always thought that Anan was the senior member of the group, while Achao was the newcomer.

“But let’s put this plan after the closed beta!” Bai Weiran stood up, and everyone else followed suit.

They knew that Bai Weiran's actions usually meant the meeting was over and there was no room for maneuver, but everyone's faces showed disappointment, including Guoguo who was standing next to Bai Weiran.

But Guoguo didn't dare to say a word.

Although she usually talks a big game, when it comes to making serious decisions, she still knows clearly who is the real person in charge of the group.

After all, he not only has to make decisions, but also has to take responsibility.

Bai Weiran looked around, sighed, and sat down again, gesturing for everyone to sit down.

"I know you are very worried."

"The closed beta test is coming soon, and everyone is very anxious."
