The saintess I possessed had a head full of nonsense.

The woman with shoulder-length short hair curled her lip and said, "According to the company's marketing, 'Warlock 3' is touted as a 'breathing fantasy world'."

Most game program code is set to be unmodifiable after bugs are tested. However, the game world in "Warlock 3" will be like the real world, with "real-time AI evolution" that even our company cannot control. All the company can do is set up the initial "outline" and "background" and add some activities later.

This is also the biggest selling point of "Warlock 3" besides "100% simulation", aiming to recreate a true fantasy world.

Even Chen Haoyu's "cheat code" was obtained by taking advantage of his position and tampering with the game project in its early stages; in reality, it was just continuous optimization later on.

So even if you used that launcher with the game cheat program, that situation wouldn't have happened. But on that day, another programmer took advantage of his position to do some illegal operations.

The code for "Warlock 3" cannot be modified? However, the company has left some editable entry points for future "pay-to-win" events.

These entry points were originally only meant for adding events and in-game purchases, and shouldn't have affected the overall gameplay of *Warlock 3*. However, this programmer somehow managed to slightly bypass the 'unmodifiable code' limitation.

The woman murmured, "Making a program incredibly flexible is difficult, but blocking a program and making it impossible to modify is very simple. We have so many top programmers doing something so simple; I don't know if this person is just lucky or incredibly skilled."

She pushed up her sunglasses and looked at Li Xuan, continuing, "In short, the code edited by this programmer just happened to conflict with the 'cheat program' you were using, which resulted in you successfully experiencing electrotherapy and remaining unconscious to this day."

Li Xuan noticed the key point: "You're talking about something important."

"Because of this bug, players are unable to log in successfully! As a result, 'Warlock 3' has not been launched yet! In fact, due to the 'real-time evolution of AI,' several years have passed in the game world of 'Warlock 3'!"

The woman pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "To give you an example, you know that Saintess Christine, right? You personally modeled her, and she was supposed to die in the 'War of the Arts,' but now she's actually a 10-star legendary level, and she's definitely the real thing, not the fake saintess you originally designed."

"Saint Christine," Li Xuan murmured absentmindedly. He felt the name was familiar, but after all, it was a perfect work he had painstakingly created by hand.

He asked, "Has the bug that prevented players from logging in been fixed?"

The woman shrugged and said, "Do you know why The Sorcerer 3 had to be designed so that the program could not be modified?"

On one hand, it's a selling point; on a deeper level, it's a requirement from law enforcement. This is because the game directly connects to the player's brain, and perhaps subsequent optimizations could truly 'brainwash' the player. Therefore, this restriction can only be lifted once the technology is fully perfected.

But who knows when that will be?

Therefore, the "inability to modify program code" was achieved under the supervision of law enforcement. Since the program code could not be modified, the programmers naturally could not fix this bug.

By the way, the programmer who caused your coma has fled to avoid punishment. I don't know why, but he hasn't been caught yet. Otherwise, he might have been able to help with this bug.

"Of course, on the other hand, this is also a good thing," the woman chuckled.

"How so?" Li Xuan asked curiously.

"The Warlock 3 was delayed for too long, players were complaining a lot, and the company also felt that this bug might not be fixed and the game might be ruined, so they simply released the game directly, so that everyone could watch the fantasy world where AI evolves in real time, just like watching a movie."

The game world's storyline is quite exciting, including the War of the Sorcerer Realm, the War of the Saintess Illusion Realm, the birth of the Supreme Heaven, the birth of the Sword God, the battle for the Witches, the War of the World-Destroying Witches Illusion Realm, the Book of Him incident, and so on. The woman seemed somewhat excited.

Li Xuan asked in bewilderment, "How can this be considered a 'good thing'? Players still can't log in, how much money is the company going to lose? Is President Wang alright? Should I call him President Wang or Little Wang now?"

The woman rolled her eyes, then said with a serious expression, "Because players can already log in!"

"Perhaps the program written by that programmer has already finished running, or perhaps the ever-increasing game data has caused some parts of the program to reach their limits and lose their effectiveness. In short, no one knows the real reason."

"Just a few days before you woke up, Warlock 3 officially launched!"

"And all the farce before this will transform into the hype surrounding 'Warlock 3'." (End of Chapter)

Chapter 280. Chapter 264: You're not mentally sound, I've found you, Li Xuan.

For so long, players have been silently watching the game's bizarre and wonderful world of sorcerers, and they have been itching to experience it for themselves. Within days of players finally being able to log in, the groundbreaking online game "Sorcerer 3" quickly became a hit all over the world!

"Finally, finally I can log into this game! It's a true 100% simulation! It feels like I'm really in that mage world, with a completely new body!"

"This is amazing! It's a true game-changer! Warlock 3 is the best game ever!"

"Wrong, Warlock 3 is heaven!"

"Although the AI ​​has been evolving in real time for a long time, this era is called the 'most brilliant era' by the NPCs in the mage world. Without a doubt, this is the most exciting version!"

"Quickly, log in to the game!"

"A new era has arrived. In 'Warlock 3,' you can choose a faction: become a 'Warlock' and fight alongside NPCs against external enemies, or become the enemy of all warlocks—the 'Knowledge Demon,' born from the distorted transformation of knowledge. These are completely hostile factions. Which side have you chosen?"

Almost instantly, information about "Warlock 3" flooded the entire internet's trending topics, and in real life, it spread by word of mouth to an extreme degree!

After several days of rehabilitation training, Li Xuan's stiff body has largely returned to normal. This is thanks to the medical technology of this era, which has prevented his body, which had been immobile for years, from becoming as deteriorated as one might imagine.

The woman beside his hospital bed was Mu Yan Yan, the head of the 'Designer Department' in "The Sorcerer 3". She was Li Xuan's colleague and friend.

Mu Yanyan often visited him in the hospital over the years, which moved Li Xuan deeply. He would have been even more moved if it weren't for the fact that he still owed her 100,000 yuan.

There's no need to worry about medical expenses; the company has been covering them for the past few years. Li Xuan was deeply moved by this, and he would have been even more touched if he didn't have a lot of modeling data for other games on hand.

"Brother Li, congratulations on your successful discharge from the hospital!"

"Hello, Brother Li, I'm new here. I've heard so much about you. Congratulations on your discharge from the hospital."

"Master, you're finally discharged from the hospital!"

When Li Xuan returned to the company, many people greeted him. After being in a coma for so many years, his apprentice had temporarily taken over the position of person in charge, since other game projects were still under development.

After the initial reflection, the office quickly returned to normal. Li Xuan quietly awaited his superiors' new arrangements, while his colleagues inevitably chatted about recent information regarding "Warlock 3".

This is a phenomenon happening everywhere right now; even when someone is taking a dump, between farts and groans, someone can't help but chat with the person in the next stall.

"Most of those who join the 'Warlock' faction choose to be born in 'Noxus City,' where the AI ​​evolves randomly; it is now known as the center of the world."

"The game is too realistic. Although each player will be reborn after death, their body will become another person, and there will be significant penalties, such as losing magic seals, realms, etc., just like the original person really died."

However, the 'Knowledge Demons' faction, because they were born from the void, will not undergo any new physical changes.

"The 'Sorcerer faction' must abide by the city's laws, while the 'Knowledge Demon' faction has freedom of action, but is universally hated. Both factions are actually subject to significant restrictions."

"Noxus City isn't peaceful either. The city lord Federer turned out to be the mastermind. It's a pity that the savior was probably killed off by the plot for unknown reasons in the end."

Suddenly, someone looked at Li Xuan and laughed, "Haha! Perhaps in order to add 'savior power' to the [Legend of Salvation] and resurrect the savior, the new Pope Christine of Light has revealed the savior's true identity. Brother Li, we share the same name, Li Xuan!"

I seriously suspect that during those years you were in a coma, you might have become the only player inside, and even the savior, because of the activation device!

Some people shook their heads: "It is said that Brother Li was just in a coma. That 'Li Xuan' was actually a mage with the same name designed by a designer who happened to have the opportunity to come into contact with Brother Li. It is said that he was originally just a very handsome extra who would die after a certain mission."

But unexpectedly, due to a bug preventing players from logging in, the 'real-time AI evolution' took such a turn—quite a strange fate, haha!

Li Xuan smiled at this.

These people continued their discussion: "A lot has happened in the past few days. The 'City Lord's Hall' has been reshuffled and is now in the control of a woman named 'Misha'. The peerless swordswoman Jiang Yueyue has joined and become the highest enforcer. It is said that they are both under the command of the savior."

Secondly, the old Pope of Light abdicated, and Saint Christine became the new Pope of Light. Although the savior Li Xuan is dead, he continues to protect the world of sorcerers.

Suddenly, Li Xuan's apprentice, Chen Feiyu, said excitedly, "It is said that the Pope Christine of Light has become somewhat obsessed because of the death of the Savior. It is also said that Christine will try to save anyone who pretends to be able to save the Savior, and will exchange them at a great cost."

All we need to do is spend money to get some weird and wonderful items to fool her, hehe. Rumor has it that many people have used this method to level up quickly, some even becoming 6-star warlocks in just a few days!

"Heh, you know what, you really have to admit, that Pope Christine of Light is truly beautiful. Her figure, her face... although thanks to 'real-time AI evolution,' our company's 'borderline' elements have been mostly cleaned up..."

But I feel that it won't be long before things develop into something like, "Your Holiness, you wouldn't want your husband to never wake up again."

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud bang rang out, and everyone froze on the spot. They saw Li Xuan suddenly go crazy, kicking Chen Feiyu to the ground, and then pounce on him, viciously swinging his fists. His bloodshot eyes were terrifying, and the force of his blows made Chen Feiyu's face covered in blood!

"Brother Li!"

The crowd finally realized what was happening and desperately pulled Li Xuan and Chen Feiyu apart.

Chen Feiyu wiped the blood from his face, his expression contorted with rage as he roared, "Li Xuan, have you been sleeping for years and lost your mind? You really think you're a savior, huh?"

"Brother Li!"

"Brother Li!"

The shouts from his colleagues brought Li Xuan back to his senses. He glanced blankly at Chen Feiyu, whose face was covered in blood, and then fell silent. He himself did not know why he had suddenly lost his mind.

Could he really have become the first player, becoming Li Xuan in "Warlock 3"? Compared to this explanation, it seems more reasonable that his brain was damaged by the launcher.

The incident quickly spread throughout the company, and others believed that the overloaded current of the starter had left Li Xuan with permanent aftereffects, making him possessive, irritable, and extremely obsessive about certain things, which is why he would go crazy when Chen Feiyu slandered his modeling masterpiece.

Or perhaps when he heard the statement that 'he has become the savior Li Xuan,' his distorted mind twisted it into a 'fact,' and he became so obsessed that he could not be persuaded by anyone.

'Li Xuan has lost his mind.'

The company therefore gave Li Xuan a month-long leave. The reason he was not dismissed was due to his performance in the company that year, as well as the fact that it was a "work injury" and the company's image.

"Why don't you go play 'Warlock 3' to change your mood?" Mu Yan Yan arrived, wearing black stockings on purpose. After feeling more of Li Xuan's gaze, she thought that at least some functions wouldn't be affected.

She gave Li Xuan a starter and went back to work.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xuan decided to try out "Warlock 3," as he also felt that something was wrong with his condition.

Lying in bed, he put on the launcher, logged into "Warlock 3," and a bizarre and fantastical world appeared before his eyes.

Without hesitation, he chose the 'Warlock faction' and appeared in 'Noxus City'.

Afterwards, he watched the 'World Channel' for a long time and received information about the 'New Era of Warlocks'.

Aside from the major events at the 'City Lord's Hall' and the 'Church of Light', the entire world has completely changed in just over ten days since players logged in.

Because of the appearance of the 'Knowledge Demon', the thoughts of sorcerers have multiplied, and the illusionary world has gradually evolved into a real disaster, endlessly descending and causing widespread suffering!

At the same time, the 'Gods of Sorcerers' were able to break free from the 'concept' due to the appearance of the 'Knowledge Demon', but also because of the influence of the mysterious power born from the 'Knowledge Demon', the vast majority of the 'Gods of Sorcerers' stood on the side of the 'Knowledge Demon'!

Each of them is incredibly powerful, possessing all the knowledge and power of a 'concept,' making them far stronger than ordinary 10-star legendary beings!

Fortunately, due to the limitations of their 'concepts', they are unable to acquire other knowledge. Therefore, although they are powerful, they also have their limits. There are still many 10-star legendary beings in the world who can rival the 'God of Sorcerers', such as Pope Christine of Light and Peerless Swordswoman Jiang Yueyue.

In short, the entire world of sorcerers is in unprecedented chaos and crisis!

Li Xuan glanced at the 'spending money' interface and found it was a 'lottery mode'. You could also use the currency of the Sorcerer's World to draw lots, and various items would appear. These were probably the origins of the strange and unusual items that some players used to deceive Pope Christine of Light.

Walking through the streets of Noxus, everything in the game felt so real. Li Xuan strode into the distance, wanting to see the newly appointed Pope of Light and to see if there was anything wrong with his mind.

It is said that the newly appointed Pope of Light is willing to meet even a one-star sorcerer who brings out something unknown to the public, all for the sake of that savior.

The Pope Christine of Light was in a temple building in the center of Noxus City. Li Xuan quickly arrived there, and after spending money to get some items, he showed them to the nun at the door and successfully met the pure white Pope of Light.

She was so beautiful. Although Li Xuan had personally modeled and created her, he was completely stunned when she appeared before him like a real person.

She tried her best to remain calm, but the bright colors that should have belonged to her beautiful eyes had been lost, and a layer of gloom had settled over them. She concealed it well, but perhaps because he had personally filled her pupils with color, Li Xuan could see it all clearly.

Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his chest. No memory of becoming the savior in "Warlock 3" after falling into a coma surfaced. Perhaps his mind was really not normal, and he had developed an extreme possessiveness towards his own model, or perhaps he had distortedly accepted the fact that "he is the savior Li Xuan" as "fact".

Even though he couldn't remember anything, he still felt that way, and this feeling tore him apart.

“You will receive four ‘Knowledge Orbs’,” Pope Christine of Light said calmly as she accepted Li Xuan’s gifts.

Li Xuan suddenly lost control of his emotions and said, "My name is also Li Xuan. I... have amnesia."

Christine looked at the man before her again and simply said, "It's a good name. When you're feeling lost, you can think of that great savior. Perhaps he can guide you on what to do."
