Whose world-class drama are they criticizing?

In the realm of darkness, the people without light are even more despised than those who are ashen-faced; they are truly at the very bottom of the social hierarchy.

Both sides were very excited for a moment.

The villagers were even more shocked than the players. No wonder Lord Ryan was willing to take them in. This saintly lord had even taken in the Dark Ones, so what else wouldn't he dare to take in?

As expected of Lord Ryan.

It has long been rumored that Chuguang City is a city that embraces all things, but this is far too inclusive.

"Lord Ryan, they..." a younger girl asked Ryan softly, mustering her courage, "What are those Lightless Ones saying?"

“Oh,” Ryan said matter-of-factly, “they’re praising your beauty.”

The village girls were initially quite self-conscious, but the thought of facing the people without light gradually gave them confidence and courage.

“Please teach them how to farm.”

The village girls nodded.

Don't look at people with strange eyes... This is a lesson Ryan taught them personally.

They were refugees taken in by Ryan, and along the way they had received countless discriminatory looks and had truly endured hunger, so they understood that feeling best.

While the Lightless are monsters, they were once human.

The legendary investigator took a deep breath. Now that things had come to this, he couldn't fathom where Eden's second test had gotten the audacity. Surely it couldn't be some foreign power manipulating things...

The live stream clips haven't been released yet, but the public outcry will only intensify tomorrow.

If this gets out of the country, it will bring about an even more terrible reckoning.

At that time, Ryan's fan base will have no chance to withstand this torrent.

All the goodwill built up from the previous plot will vanish in one go.

They're ugly, so what? To insist they're beautiful is a terrible move.

The legendary investigator grieved for Eden's future, while Ryan rejoiced for it.

The only saving grace is that these villagers are all quite thin, which leaves room for compromise. There are never any slender ones; they are all big, fat pigs.

It's not quite at the "dei" level yet; at most, the art department has gone mad.

But he was not far from death.

Since things have come to this, let's try to salvage whatever we can while Eden is sinking... That's what most of the streamers thought, but most of the players in the second closed beta were just casual gamers who weren't interested in farming anyway, so ten more of them left.

The villagers weren't surprised that ten people had disappeared out of nowhere; after all, they were the Lightless, and it wasn't surprising that the Lightless would do anything.

Only twenty people remain.

Ryan felt both happy and somewhat helpless.

"What will we eat if you leave?"

Ryan still kept thinking about the idea of ​​turning the corpses of the Dark Ones into fodder.

But it doesn't matter, as long as it can deter these damn players.

...

Alright, let's get to work then.

Come here.

The legendary investigator sighed. The only ones left here are probably crystallizations like them and a masochistic pervert like the leader.

They've truly been tamed by Ryan's whip.

They received their farm tools and followed the village girls into the fields.

Ryan was satisfied. He supervised for a while, cracked his whip a few times, and then went to run a marathon, as he hadn't finished his daily task yet.

In the future, we will build a fully automated machine for extracting people.

Seeing that Ryan had run away, leaving them here as slaves, the players' resentment deepened.

Birth.

This was the first time in my life that I had set foot on farmland and tried to harvest food myself.

Grip the handle, cut, and place the pile.

The village girls demonstrated one by one, teaching them the correct way to hold the pole.

Hold the stalk with your fingers spread apart, and don't grip it too high, or the rice ears will fall off; when harvesting rice, do not cut repeatedly, but cut it in one go; be careful to cut against the wind direction to avoid cutting the rice leaves.

The process is boring, mechanical, and repetitive.

The only advantage is that, despite the stamina bar limitation, players won't get tired.

Compared to other pastoral games—although pastoral games have disappeared since the VR era—players can still feel the depth of detail in Eden's farming game.

Ordinary simulations can feel tedious, but when simulations reach a certain extreme, they become performance art.

Eden is a real world, and in terms of the realism of its details, no game can compare.

Whether it's the feel of the wind on their skin, the rustling of straw swaying in the wind, or the croaking of frogs coming from the depths of the paddy fields, every action they take elicits the most authentic response from the world.

At first I was clumsy, but gradually I became more and more skilled.

Players still didn't find it fun, and viewers of the live stream even fell asleep.

This doesn't feel like a game at all.

But they worked until sunset, cutting straw from ten acres of land and piling it into small heaps.

What surprised the players the most was that those ugly village girls worked faster than them.

In almost all games, NPCs are lazy.

But these villagers had experienced hunger, and they cherished the opportunity to farm the land themselves more than anyone else.

"Actually, we've never farmed before; this is our first time."

The legendary investigator listened in astonishment as the village girl who was guiding him said, "How is this possible?"

This young girl is described as a village girl, but she is younger than the legendary investigator and works very efficiently.

“We live in the City of the Dead, and we have no land left to cultivate.”

The little girl smiled and said, "My mother taught me this knowledge, but she has never farmed. Only my grandmother has farmed. Our family has always dreamed of having a small plot of land."

The legendary investigator fell silent.

“But now we have an entire Rice Flower Town, with endless fields, which Lord Ryan gave us.”

Her face was dull and ugly due to gray death, but her eyes were bright.

"I want to plant the things my mother couldn't plant. The lord told me to live with my head held high."

“You probably don’t understand these strange words,” she said. “The Lightless.”

"I've rested enough. Hmm... Following my mother's instructions, it's time to thresh the wheat. After threshing, the wheat is left with straw. The elders say we should pile the straw in the field and burn it, as it will nourish the soil."

The legendary investigator, trying to convince himself he understood, rambled on and on before finally reaching out and tentatively patting the monster girl on the head.

The white night filled the paddy fields.

...

On the other side, on Earth, inside a rented room.

The furious Noodle Sea was completely enraged.

My lifelong reputation cannot be ruined in an instant; this is my last chance.

Seeing the unanimous condemnation of DEI across the internet, since everyone is criticizing it, he decided to praise it.

He would offer his entire family as a sacrifice, presenting his greatest cross-dressing masterpiece.

—"Aesthetic Distortion? Political Correctness? Workers are the Most Beautiful People!"

Please take one day off.

Hello everyone, I am Jin Tieyudian.

To cover Wild Gorilla's retreat, I activated the backup hidden energy source and self-destructed, so I'm taking a day off.

Actually, I got caught in the rain and took a hit from the "Heavenly Rain Dragon Slaying Dance," which made my head explode.

Please!

Chapter 95 Ryan had a great time.

The next day, early in the morning.

"Ryan Lumin is an orphan."

"How dare Lai Xiaozi show his face? Doesn't he know that his master abandoned him a long time ago? Fans really do follow their masters."

"Don't yell. In reality, when I see Ryan, I slap him across the face. To be honest, the man you all worship like a god, I usually treat like a son. If I tell him to run laps, he runs laps; if I tell him to stand at attention, he stands at attention. He wouldn't dare say no to me."

After sending that message, Ryan patted his cheeks to perk himself up.

He had just finished running thirty laps and was panting heavily when he opened a 300ml bottle of blue elemental liquid and gulped it down. Ryan then continued to use his alternate account to argue with his incredible fans.

A debate with a group of scholars.

Ryan knows how to fan the flames.

He first created a male account on a certain forum, named it 'Viscount Kiri', and posted:

Ryan then created a female account on a certain platform, naming it 'Melanie', and started posting:

At last.

He created a gender-unknown account on Weibo. Having exhausted all the other names available, he randomly chose the name 'Cavens' and posted:

The post immediately attracted a lot of attention.

It was awesome! He went back and forth three times, and the community was in chaos with everyone attacking each other. Ryan felt incredibly happy. He only had one Old Feng, but he was able to die three times. The cost-effectiveness was really high.

The best part is that he's not afraid to open the box at all.

Ryan Lumin, IP: Eden Lumin, IP: $10 billion.

On the Chinese internet, he is already invincible.

Looking at the game ratings again, Eden's ratings had rebounded significantly from 1.0 to 3.0, thanks to the storyline in the first closed beta test.

However, with the second closed beta test starting with a major disappointment, the ratings began to plummet. Following this trend, it's not impossible for them to challenge for the throne of Three Kingdoms Kill again.

Looking at this straight line, comparable to the price of a stock on the A-share market, Ryan felt increasingly pleased.

The gaming community had long suffered from the "Eden's Filial Sons," but now, with the second closed beta test failing, the long-suppressed haters, trolls, and rebels have all sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Ryan looked at these generals and felt increasingly satisfied.

In particular, one of Noodle Sea's articles, the title alone, resonated with Ryan: "Aesthetic Distortion? Political Correctness? Workers are the Most Beautiful People."

Yes, that's fine, just string them together like that.

If I ever have the chance to come to Eden, I'll send you some dog food (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection).

Ryan felt satisfied when he saw that the comments section was full of people cursing Noodle Sea and Eden.

It's almost time; it's time to improve harvesting efficiency.

He wiped the sweat from his body, took a hot shower, and then changed into a set of rare, high-quality skins that felt great to use:

Wearing leather shoes, jeans, and a cowboy hat, with an iron whip in his left hand and a leather whip in his right, he swings the whips in a slow-motion sequence, then repeats it in slow motion, creating a powerful and dynamic display.

"With that whip crack, let's not praise anything else, let's just praise the excellent benefits and great planning of our Eden community, nine whip cracks in one second..."

Humming a little tune to boost production, Ryan arrived at Daohua Village.

To his slight disappointment, there were twenty people online before he logged off yesterday, and there are still twenty people online today. It seems that the online frenzy hasn't affected their farming.

There were ten prison players among them, but we won't mention Ryan for now, since these guys are all used to being robbed by Red Stone.

Ten new players were still refusing to leave, which Ryan found baffling.
