Life Advances: Establishing the Observer Network!

"I really love Steel Earth. I adore this post-apocalyptic setting where everyone is helpless yet there's still a touch of warmth. It brings tears to my eyes."

"The pairing of the angel and the gun god feels like a shard of glass. I truly hope the gun god isn't dead?"

"It's such a shame the gun god died. If only he could snipe from beyond the horizon!"

"The desolate earth, the subspecies replacing humanity, the endless flames of war, and the last surviving humans… Merlin has truly painted a vivid yet despairing real world."

"Compared to the grand backdrop and high-end combat, I still prefer the everyday moments."

"The blonde angel clumsily strumming a guitar, while the young man in black beside her sighs helplessly…"

"How wonderful it would be if time could freeze at this moment?"

"The diligent mage, Gemstone Elder, couldn't find a way to avert Steel Earth's fate. It seems to be the conclusion of the world line…"

"Damn it, knives, all knives!"

"Merlin, you have no heart! Hiding behind the name of King Arthur's dear friend and mentor, yet you're just a cliffhanger writer. You're truly despicable!"

"If the spirit of the great mage Merlin could see this, he would surely draw a magic circle to curse you."

"Update quickly! Or I'll send you hate mail!"

"Oh no, oh no, I won't be able to sleep again tonight."

While the readers were sleepless, Luoshu slept soundly, a faint, almost imperceptible smile gracing his face.

As the moon set and the sun rose, a hopeful new day arrived.

"Haah~."

In Happy Manor, the boy clad in a moon-white feathered robe awoke, lazily stifling a yawn.

He picked up his phone from the bedside and opened it; it was already eight in the morning. Today was Mizuyōbi in Neon Country, commonly known as Monday.

There were a few messages in his social app from contacts he had added yesterday during fortune-telling.

[Chiba's Holy Fallen Black Cat]: "Thank you, Mr. Luo. The SNS community indeed proposed an offline gathering today. After your reminder, I decided not to go. I almost encountered a tragic romance!"

"If you ever need my help, just let me know!"

[Miss Sachi]: "I will heed Brother Luoshu's advice and not get involved with the virtual reality game 'Sword Art Online'!"

[Higurashi Goei]: "There's actually a monster lurking in the bone-eating well in my backyard…"

Luoshu calmly read through these messages, then chose to mark them as read without replying.

After all, he was a man destined for divinity. The priority was to focus on his career. Those distracting girls could wait; at least he needed to have the means to protect himself in this world before considering romance.

However, as he scrolled to the last message, Luoshu scratched his head.

[Yamashita Tetsuya]: "'With one shot, the world knows me; with two shots, the traitor faces divine retribution'… Thank you for the mage's insight. I feel more assured now. If I can accomplish this, my tragic life will finally have meaning."

After a moment of silence, Luoshu rubbed his chin thoughtfully and replied.

"Wishing you great success in your endeavors."

Then he turned off his phone, a contemplative look on his face.

After a night of brewing thoughts, he wondered if his short story had come to life.

"Void."

He whispered, and a silver ripple appeared on the left side of his vision, revealing a detailed information panel.

[Creator: Luoshu]

[Life Level: Mortal Realm (First Stage)]

[Theoretical Lifespan: 70 years]

[Divine Authority Gems: 225.7]

"Whoa~ so much!"

Luoshu gasped in surprise.

He had been a fortune teller at Makuhari Seaside Park, standing from dawn until sunset, managing to persuade hundreds of people, and barely earned 25.95 Divine Authority Gems.

Yet, after posting a doomsday novel on Twitter, he had earned over nine times that amount effortlessly. No wonder those little fairies from his past life loved to post short essays; it was a goldmine!

What a thrill!

A smile crept across Luoshu's face, his spirits soaring.

As a man, once he had money, he felt the itch to try something new.

He had always wanted to test the effects of enhancing his body, but the scarcity of Divine Authority Gems had held him back. Now, he finally had the chance to give it a go.

Luoshu smiled gently: "Void, use 5% of my Divine Authority Gems to heal ailments, cure hidden injuries, and enhance my body."

In his past life, as a wealthy young master, he had always focused on health, yet he remained in a suboptimal state. Occasionally, he'd had deep conversations with beautiful girls, and his body had its share of minor issues.

Now that he had the opportunity to make up for those deficiencies, it was all the more welcome.

"Swish~."

The silver ripple rippled, and his Divine Authority Gems began to deplete. An invisible, shimmering light enveloped, permeated, and cleansed his body.

"Ah~~."

Luoshu's eyes widened, an indescribable sensation washing over him, as if he were on the verge of transcending.

The brilliance gradually dimmed…

Until it disappeared.

Only then did he slowly rise, licking his lips, his gaze tinged with a hint of regret.

His body felt incredibly light, as if the shackles binding him had shattered. Feeling like he is floating in the vast universe, feeling renewed inside and out. Even if a grizzly bear or a tiger stood before him, he could take it down with a single punch.

Instinctively, Luoshu touched his face, feeling it had become smoother and more refined.

As expected, after ascending to a new level of existence, my appearance had improved yet again.

A quick glance at the interface filled Luo Shu with excitement.

Theoretical Lifespan: 70 → 93 years.

Not only had my looks increased, but my lifespan had skyrocketed as well—this was a comprehensive enhancement!

I could distinctly feel a surge of vitality coursing through my brain, muscles, and spirit, as if I had returned to the peak of my youth.

If I were to play League of Legends again, I would definitely break free from the confines of Silver IV and easily ascend to Master.

(*TL/N - Bro is a hardstuck silver:<<)< p>

And this was achieved with just 5% of 225.7 Divine Rights Gems.

What would happen if I used more?

No, stay calm—if I go all in, it would be game over for me.

For the sake of my broader plans, this startup capital must not be misused.

Luo took a deep breath.

His plan was straightforward, inspired by the sensational novels of his past life: to create a massive celestial canvas spanning both hemispheres, visible to all of humanity, where he could showcase his expertly modified videos.

Though many details needed refinement, once successful, he could capture the attention of the entire planet.

He had previously asked the Void, and it would take at least five thousand Divine Rights Gems to create such a canvas.

This 225.7 Divine Rights Gems was the key to quickly amassing those five thousand.

Luo Shu stared intently at the computer screen and slowly spoke.

"Void, help me set up a video website that no government can trace."

"Buzz, buzz, buzz~ (At your command)."

Silver ripples danced lightly across the screen.

In no time, countless lines of code flickered, and a website named "Observer Network" emerged.
