Whose world-class drama are they criticizing?

The warrior chosen by the old man, relying on his high health bar, went straight for the kill, striking down one monster after another with his wooden stick, crushing them into a bloody pulp.

The regular wolf pack has been killed.

[Number of blocks: 3] [Number of rolls: 1]

[Rating: None]

[Received a blessing of 0.001]

After playing for a short half hour, the players gradually figured out the game's system. Each time they killed a monster, they would be scored based on their actions. The higher the score, the greater the blessing they would receive. Completing a blessing would allow them to level up.

"This game is so easy, isn't it just a hack-and-slash game?"

The old man looked disdainful. "It's not difficult at all."

The original game was indeed not very difficult. After all, low difficulty is conducive to popularization. The fact that it achieved 30 million initial sales and one million daily active users in its previous version was inseparable from its low-difficulty action system.

In contrast to the old man's disdain, the legendary investigator became more and more satisfied with the fight.

He could see that this game had the potential to become a huge hit.

Whether it's the impact of spells or the feedback from being hit while blocking, it delivers a truly realistic experience unmatched in the market. Add to that the approachable difficulty, the straightforward map, and the graphics that surpass reality, and it's clearly aiming to be the dark horse of the year.

And the scenery is quite beautiful too.

The only potential weakness is that the plot is completely irrelevant—though the legendary investigator is reluctant to admit it, that's the truth.

It's already 2062. There are more and more games, and players are becoming more and more restless. In this turbulent era, simplicity and directness are the only solutions.

The most important thing is to have fun.

The simplest dopamine stimulation is the answer to everything.

As the legendary investigator predicted, in the next half hour, the popularity of Eden's live stream increased, and the heat in their live stream room also rose, especially for the female blogger [Yuzu], whose number of online viewers approached five thousand.

The latter's livestream style is characterized by uninspiring gameplay, yet even she plays quite well.

"This game seems to be very forgiving of players with poor hand-eye coordination. When will the second closed beta test start?"

"After all, even Yuzu and Uncle can play it."

"When will the new game be released? I'm really tired of Earth Online. The only fun thing is the gamepad joystick that comes with the game. I play it every day."

What should players without a joystick do?

"Then they are blessed."

Do you have a katana?

The response from the bullet comments was quite enthusiastic.

After an hour of fighting, they finally saw the exit of the forest, a forest path shrouded in twilight.

Each person has accumulated 0.01 units of blessing; once they collect a full unit, they can level up.

At the end of the forest path stood a young knight.

The young knight was not wearing armor.

His slender figure was draped in a white shirt, his eyes lowered, the orange sun shining in the boy's eyes as if sinking into a tranquil sea, his long golden hair falling like ears of wheat.

His silhouette was silhouetted against the setting sun.

"Wow, the model of this sickly little boy is amazing!"

Yuzu's eyes lit up immediately.

With Ryan's appearance, the number of viewers in Yuzi's live stream instantly exceeded five thousand.

"So handsome!"

"Hilarious, Yuzu's acting all lovey-dovey again."

"This should be powered by alternating current."

"Is this a character that appeared in the opening CG?"

Do you have a katana?

Players have noticed that the young knight appears at the end of the cutscene, so he should be the new player guide.

Following typical game tropes, the guide should issue beginner quests, such as gathering materials or cleaning toilets, or mention the main storyline and guide the player on their way.

"The ones without light—"

Sure enough, Ryan smiled gently, raised his hand, and issued the beginner's quest with a bright and sunny expression.

"He committed suicide and returned to heaven."

[Lord of Chuguang City, the Azure Silver Apostle 'Ryan Luming' has issued you a beginner's quest.]

[New Player Quest: Commit Suicide]

[Difficulty: Easy]

[Task Reward: Unknown]

[Mission Description: Kiss the tip of the sword with your neck]

Chapter 33: This chaotic world ruined them.

"He committed suicide and returned to heaven."

Ryan knew he was right.

As the lord of the Lightless Territory, the Azure Silver Apostle, he can issue quests to players.

He could, of course, simply block the players' spawn points and kill them one by one.

But the efficiency is just too low.

Moreover, Ryan doesn't want to openly fight the players or become hostile. He has limited energy, while the players can respawn infinitely, so he will eventually let them escape his control.

So on his first day in Wuguangling, he ordered a mysterious little toy from the old blacksmith: a 20-meter-long rotating iron blade that would spin wildly once triggered.

Once completed, it will be installed directly next to the contract stone, and as soon as the player revives, it will instantly wipe out their entire family.

That's what can be called high efficiency.

The beginner's quest, "Commit suicide," is also very efficient.

As for the reward for the task he issued, it was 'unknown,' which seemed mysterious and high-class, but the prize was 'unknown' in the literal sense.

[No reward whatsoever], that's also an unknown factor!

Who would have thought that?

With Ryan's suicide, the entire Sunset Forest fell into a brief silence.

Hidden in the shadows, Miss Jasmine blinked. She tilted her head to the left and then to the right, wondering if she had misheard or if the signal in the shadows was bad.

What does "committing suicide to return to heaven" mean...?

The Lightless are beings devoid of reason, their vitality is comparable to that of cockroaches, and their existence in this world is nothing but blasphemy, so how could they possibly commit suicide?

Especially this group of people without light.

Although their rank was not high, the level of their blasphemy was simply unheard of.

She stared at her uncle with disgust—his ancient god-like appearance, with every feature on his face pushing the limits of human physiology.

Would this indescribable monster commit suicide?

Viscount Kiri could no longer stand it.

After hearing Ryan's whimsical words, his newly formed sense of agreement with Ryan instantly plummeted.

Indeed, it's best not to have high hopes for these young noblemen.

Kiri thought to himself, "He talked a good game before the war, but frankly, he was just a hypocrite. Once he met the real Dark Ones, this young master's true colors were revealed."

However, this time the Dark Ones were indeed disgusting, no wonder Ryan was terrified.

Fortunately, their ranks were all low... Kiri decided to ignore Ryan and take action directly.

A sudden change occurred.

After a brief silence, the Lightless also began to utter incomprehensible babbling.

It's all very gibberish.

The lightless can speak, but their words are incomprehensible to all. The church regards them as ancient, foreign ravings, forbidden to be understood or recorded, lest they be corrupted...

"What does this mean? The newbie quest is telling us to commit suicide?"

The legendary investigator was dumbfounded. As a true veteran gamer, he had played all sorts of games, but he had never seen one that told players to commit suicide right from the start.

While the opening was supposed to be unconventional, this was just too unconventional!

"I get it, it must be because my skills are too good."

The old man was very confident, saying, "This game is too easy. It can't beat me, so it can only cheat and make me commit suicide."

Yuzu nodded, "We're amazing."

I've been playing for an hour and haven't died even once.

The legendary investigator pondered for a moment, but he couldn't think of any other reason.

"...Maybe this is some kind of plot-driven death? You have to die once to unlock the next part of the story, but because we're too strong, we didn't die?"

Even if it's a plot-driven death, you should at least act it out.

If they launch a sneak attack or something, they won't even bother acting anymore!

The legendary investigator analyzed the situation carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He felt he had figured out the creator's thought process.

"We should be able to unlock special mechanisms or something if we die once."

This kind of tutorial is nothing new in the gaming world; it seems to involve killing the player, but in reality, it unlocks new mechanics.

However, this game is far too brutal.

The uncle's face twisted into a grimace; now he could really liven up the stream.

"Hey guys, how about we try dying? There's definitely a reward for it."

"The reward is 'unknown,' and I love mystery the most!"

"Yes, continuing to discuss this isn't a good idea."

"Then brothers, I'll die first to bring everyone back to life!"

The old man volunteered and immediately picked up the huge wooden stick.

"I'll play baseball first."

Viscount Kiri thought the monster was about to attack, so he was about to draw his sword when he suddenly saw the huge wooden club... coming straight at the monster's head.

The enormous head instantly shattered like a watermelon, splattering red and yellow juices, before flying backward in a home run arc.

The headless monster collapsed in front of Ryan.

Viscount Kiri was stunned.

"Then I'll die too, and give everyone a fire arrow to bite."

The legendary investigator, wanting to create an even better fire, bit down on his staff, using the magic 'Fire Smoke Arrow,' and his mouth exploded with flames, engulfing his entire head in fire.

'Haha, Old Cha is really good at this.'

'They've even come to bite lighters!'

"This game has way too much freedom! Are there any more brutal ways to die?"

Encouraged by the barrage of comments and the surge in popularity, the remaining streamers also jumped on the bandwagon, some hanging themselves from crooked trees, others performing Bakugan-style antics by aiming flaming arrows at their crotches...

Everyone has their own unique skills, and the ways they die are incredibly diverse and unique, like a hundred flowers blooming in competition.

The live stream was entertaining, and some viewers even received generous donations.

But in Viscount Kiri's eyes, the scene before him was so horrifying that it overturned his worldview.

Beheadings, self-immolations, hangings, dismemberment...

Viscount Kiri looked at the excited smiles of the Lightless and could feel their heartfelt joy (thanks to the generous donors).
