Author's Notes: My practice novel renewed after a long hiatus! Please support and add some reviews. 

P.S. Please go easy on me!

There was an explosion of interest for the demo at the booth!
Voices of unexpected surprise by the gamers were constantly sounding!
Ha Qiqi wondered and asked, "The booth babes have already left, but why are there still so many people?"
"Plants vs. Zombies?" Little Wang hesitated for a moment, then said, "How can a game with such a title be any fun? Could these people be shills paid for by the video game company? Why are so many of them praising the game? How much money did they spend to employ them!"
Shills?
Shills your sister!
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes at her.
Wu Yi came up from behind them. "Looks like there's a lot of praise for this game, I’m also gonna give it a try."
Wu Yi went to join the line. When Little Wang and a few others from The Voice's program team saw that, they were also itching to give it a try. Ultimately, they ended up joining the line to give the game a try as well.
When it was their turn to try, their indifference at the beginning turned to shock!
When the game started for Ha Qiqi, she was startled for a moment!
It was the same for Wu Yi. He immediately started clicking the mouse and was so focused on the game that he couldn't hear his colleagues talking even though they were right beside him. His full attention was squarely on the game.
Little Wang even exclaimed, "This game is ten times more fun than Fishing Master! Is this a new game or a sequel? Why haven't I heard about this game before if it's this fun?"
Wu Yi marveled, "After just two levels, even a person like me who doesn't usually play games is getting a little addicted. This creativity, graphics, design, and the attention to detail! This should be a game made by some foreign company, right?"
A female editor pointed at something. "No, look there. It's a domestic video game company."
Wu Yi said unbelieving, "There's actually a domestic video game company that can create such an excellent product?"
Little Wang immediately waved to the area outside the booth. "Director Zhang, come and try, come and try it out!"
Zhang Ye laughed, "I'm fine here, thank you."
"It's super fun, really!" Little Wang praised loudly.
Thinking about it, Zhang Ye also joined the line. Of course he knew how good this game was. Back in his previous world, be it Plants vs. Zombies or Plants vs. Zombies 2, he had played them both. The reason he was going to give the game a try was mainly because he wanted to see how close to the original game Fat Sis's company had managed to make it. He wanted to know if they closely followed his plan and design. In addition, if there were any bugs he could inform Fat Sis to get them fixed in time.
Once he started the game, Zhang Ye had a good grasp of it.
The restoration level was very high!
It was probably at about 90% of the original game!
Knowing this, Zhang Ye began to feel reassured. He knew that Fat Sis and her staff had made this game in accordance to his design, without adding any modifications of their own. The design of the plants, the zombie's speed and health, the graphics style, every plants' cooldown times—they were mostly all the same as the original.
At this moment, a few media representatives from a video game magazine and some newspaper publishers headed over when they heard about the popularity of this booth. Extremely curious of all that was going on, they also joined the line to give the game a try. As a result, the few of them ended up looking at each other, and could see the shock in each other's eyes. Immediately, they lowered their heads again and continued to research this game. Judging from their expressions, they were quite stunned with amazement at this Plants vs. Zombies game, and simultaneously felt that it was incredible!
A domestic video game company?
It's even a small, unknown video game company?
And yet their game is fantastic! But no one has ever heard of a domestic video game company that had such standards! Which rock did they pop out from under?
What exactly was a puzzle game? To the countless people in this world, their concept and understanding of a puzzle game would surely be simple graphics, simple gameplay, and simple controls. However, on this day, Plants vs. Zombies had made them open their eyes and made them get a renewed understanding of puzzle games. Real-time strategy? Combined with tower defense features? Looking at those demo versions with their grayed out game modes, there was even an adventure mode included? Zen Garden? Mini-games? The depth of richness of this game and replayability was simply many times greater than other puzzle games! If puzzle games could be segregated into large, medium, and small, then Plants vs. Zombies was clearly considered as a mega-scale puzzle game!
These video game media personnel were in disbelief!
Around them, the gamers who had tried out the game also thought that this game was a great surprise to them!
"I have a feeling! That this game will definitely be an instant hit!"
"This is really uplifting for our countrymen!"
"Yeah, can you think of a time when a video game company from our country made such an amazing puzzle game? In the past, haven't we always just been imitating the foreign games and picking up their leftovers?"
"Although I don't wish to admit it, the development of our country's puzzle games is much poorer than puzzle games from other countries. Their game production standards are ahead of ours by four or five years, like that very popular Fishing Master which was developed overseas, and was only licensed by a domestic video game company. If I have to say it, then there are no puzzle games made by our domestic video game companies worth mentioning. But all of that has changed now! A worthy name has appeared! This game is definitely world-class standard!"
"Not only that! I think that Plants vs. Zombies is even leading the overseas standards by a couple years! I've never heard of any foreign video game companies that could create such an excellent game! It's way too much fun!"
"When does it go on sale?"
"I can't wait!"
"Fuck, I've always pirated games in the past, but I think I should definitely support the original this time! It's so rare that we finally get a game that can match a foreign-made game!"
... 
At Hall 3.
Some of the staff members at several game booths were chatting.
"Eh, why is the crowd getting smaller and smaller?"
"Yeah, where did everyone go?"
"It's not even lunchtime yet. Weren't there a lot of people just a while ago? Why did it become so deserted now? It has never been like this in the past years, has it?"
"Don't you all know yet?"
"Know about what?"
"A lot of the visitors have gone to Hall 2. I heard that there's a puzzle game being exhibited there, a game called 'Plants hitting Zombies' or something. It's such a hit that all the gamers have the booth surrounded. More than twenty of those video game magazines and media outlets have also gone over to take a look. It seems to be causing quite a sensation, but I don't know about the details myself."
"Puzzle game? How can a small-scale game like that be any fun!"
"What? Rather than coming to try out our large-scale 3D graphics games, everyone went over there to play some puzzle game instead? How's that possible! Those people must be confused, right?"
"I wonder about that too!"
... 
At the booth of Plants vs. Zombies.
Right now, this place was extremely packed, with the visitors gathering and extending to the outside of the booth for dozens of meters! It was basically full of people!
When the organizers received news of this, they flew into a rage, thinking that this exhibit must have gotten the bikini booth babes to come back to their booth. They immediately brought a team of security personnel and rushed over, but when they got there, they were dumbfounded by the scene they saw. Rather than the bikini booth babes, they saw that the booth babes who were within the dress code had all been nudged out of the booth to some place else instead. The entire booth was filled with gamers! A sea of gamers!
What…what was this situation?
Fuck, why are there so many gamers gathered around here!
And they were still wondering why the other games' booths in Hall 2 were so empty. So it was because everyone had come running over here!? Are you guys giving out games or giving out cash? The popularity over here is getting too hot to handle!
Inside the booth.
Zhang Ye and the others made their way out from the booth after they finished playing a demo of the game. Only after they left did they notice that Jiang Yuan, his kid, and the dozens of Central TV Department 1 staff were all lining up to try out the game.
Jiang Yuan also saw them, but did not make any direct eye contact. Central TV Department 1's relationship with Zhang Ye had completely broken down, and since they couldn't get their hands on The Voice's overseas copyright from him, the overseas license deal that they had already completed negotiations on with the foreign party—worth a large sum—couldn't be completed. Not to mention Zhang Ye's court case that everyone knew about which had left them all embarrassed. Whether it was a matter of image or interest, their relationship was ruined beyond all repair. The only relationship that the two parties had right now could only be described with one sentence: Fight it out! Let's see if our Central TV Department 1's freezing of artists is more powerful or whether you, Zhang Ye, have more endurance! In Jiang Yuan's opinion, this battle was already decided the moment it started. No matter how many lawsuits Zhang Ye could win against them, he could not escape from the "freeze" they had in place for him! Making a celebrity lose their source of popularity in less than a year would definitely be a fatal blow to them. It was as good as a death sentence! Since it had already come to this, no matter how capable Zhang Ye was, Jiang Yuan could no longer be bothered by the sight of him anymore. He had basically caused so much trouble for them at Central TV Department 1 that the executives of Department 1 hated him to the bone!
"Dad, is it our turn yet?" Little Qi asked impatiently
Jiang Yuan replied, "It should be our turn soon. There's still five more people ahead of us."
Little Qi said angrily, "Why are they so slow? Tell them to hurry up!"
Beside them, Jiang Yuan's secretary suddenly called out loudly, "Director Jiang, let Little Qi come over to this line. It's my turn over here!"
"OK." Jiang Yuan let Little Qi run along.
After a short while, a young staff member from Central TV Department 1 flanking him fawned, "Director Jiang, come over to my line. I've got a spot for you!"
Jiang Yuan did not stand on ceremony as the console with the demo was coincidentally situated right beside his son. He strolled over casually and picked up the mouse to accompany his son to test out the game.
Innermost of the booth.
A woman who was in charge of the booth for Plants vs. Zombies finally freed up some time to welcome the media. "Hello, everyone. Sorry to have kept you waiting. I will start accepting interviews from the media now." Looking at her, she seemed very excited, probably because she hadn't expected such an explosive scene today. She had just gotten off the phone a moment ago after making several calls to report to the company on the situation here.
At this moment, more than 15 media outlets surrounded her!
They included those from the video game magazines, newspaper firms, and even Central TV!
A reporter from one of the top video game magazines in the country quickly kicked off the interview. "This is just the first day of this year's National C-G Gaming Expo, but your company's game is already getting all the headlines. You're even outclassing other titles like Spiritual Realms: The First War, The Immortals Descend, and other anticipated MMO and RPG titles that the gamers were looking forward to for a long time now. It could be said that this is the greatest dark horse to emerge in this year's National Gaming Expo!  Can you let us know if you all had anticipated this?"
The manager smiled and said, "Our company is extremely confident about our game, but honestly…" Her eyes swept across the booth. She gave a wry smile and continued, "…we really hadn't expected this at all. Thank you, everyone, for your love!"
A reporter from the newspaper firm hurriedly asked, "How much money did you all invest into the game?"
The manager hesitated for a moment. "I can only say it was in the tens of millions."
A media reporter from Beijing asked, "I tried out the game just now, and it's absolutely amazing. Our country's puzzle games are still only in the infancy of development, but to suddenly have a product that is so amazing pop up from nowhere, can you explain to us how you all did it? Isn't this leap too great? What inspired your company to create this Plants vs. Zombies?"
Hearing this, the manager could only smile. "Regarding the inspiration, I actually don't know about it either."
"Ah?" The media personnel were all taken aback by this reply.
The surrounding gamers were also in disbelief when they heard that. You don't know about it either? The fuck? You're the publisher! If you of all people do not know, then who would?
The manager laughed and said, "This game was actually done with the aid of a patron." 
"Patron?"
"What patron?"
"Can you clarify what you mean by that?"
Nobody could understand this explanation.
... 
Not far from them.
Little Qi was clapping and exclaiming, "This is so fun! Dad, this game is way too much fun!"
Also surprised, Jiang Yuan played two stages and commented, "Yes, this game is indeed different from other puzzle games. Even I, who has almost never played any games before, got the hang of it quite quickly, hur hur. This game is really quite interesting! Quite interesting!"
Even the director enjoyed playing it?
Jiang Yuan's secretary immediately observed, "Director Jiang, your evaluation of the game is spot on. This game truly is very enjoyable to play and easy to get the hang of. It suits people of all ages, whether they're young or old!"
Another person from Central TV Department 1 remarked, "I didn't know that puzzle games could also be this much fun!"
The person from Central TV Department 1 who had earlier clashed with Ha Qiqi and the others said, "When it gets released, I'll be buying a copy for my son. He will definitely love this game." 
Little Qi said, "Dad, I want one too!"
Jiang Yuan smiled. "Sure, I'll buy it for you. Even I'm getting interested in this game after playing it. A game is just like a TV show. It depends on how innovative it is, which is where this game excels in. I wonder which company created this game that even got me interested even though I don't usually play games."
Zhang Ye looked over.
When they heard Jiang Yuan, his secretary, and the rest of the group praising the game nonstop, Ha Qiqi, Little Wang, and the others who were standing outside shot them a glance.
But suddenly, the next line from the manager who was taking questions from the reporters about Plants vs. Zombies astonished everyone at the scene!
In the face of all the media outlets' microphones and cameras, the manager chuckled and said, "The patron. Well, since I was just coming to it, let me make use of this chance to make an announcement here. Plants vs. Zombies will officially be launched next week, and for the endorsement of the game, we have already discussed with a big shot celebrity. That person is Teacher Zhang Ye, who will be acting as our spokesperson." Before the crowd could react, she threw out another bombshell of an announcement. "Teacher Zhang also happens to be the patron I just mentioned. I myself really do not know what inspired this game, because it was all from Teacher Zhang Ye. He contributed to the game's name, Plants vs. Zombies, the character models, the graphics palette, technical support, mathematical attributes, level designs, and many other things. The entire concept of the game was by Teacher Zhang Ye, so you can say that this game was a collaboration project between Teacher Zhang Ye and our company!"
At that moment, the entire venue burst into an uproar!
"What?"
"Damn! Teacher Zhang came up with the concept?"
"Ah?"
"Fuck, is this for real?"
"Did Zhang Ye cross over to the video game industry as well?"
"What the hell!"
"It's Zhang Ye? Seriously, again?"
The media was stunned! 
The gamers were dumbfounded!
No one knew how to react anymore!
Ha Qiqi was staring with her eyes wide!
Little Wang stared dumbfounded at Zhang Ye, who was next to her!
Wu Yi shouted out "fuck" and went into shock!
Then, after the shock, Ha Qiqi, Wu Yi, and the others suddenly turned their sights in unison to Jiang Yuan, his secretary, and the entire group who were still playing the Plants vs. Zombies demo. They looked at them without batting an eyelid!
Jiang Yuan's face turned green!
Jiang Yuan's secretary let out a swear and dropped the mouse in his hand!
The other Central TV Department 1 staff, who were just praising how good this game was, were all staring at each other with their mouths agape. Their faces flushed red and paled at the same time, their expressions looking somewhat distorted!
Zhang Ye's?
Having praised the game so much, they discovered now that this game was created by Zhang Ye?
Suddenly, a few gamers in the crowd suddenly cried out.
"Eh, look at that person who's playing the game! Why does he look so familiar?"
"Eh? Isn't, isn't that the person who was fighting the lawsuit with Zhang Ye?"
"Oh, I remember, I remember! I saw him on television a few days ago. He is Jiang Yuan, the Deputy Director of Central TV Department 1! The Central TV Department 1 executive who did not issue Teacher Zhang's salary to him, and even tried to steal his copyright!"
"Surely not? He was really enjoying the game just now and even praising it to the high heavens."
"Yes, that's him! That's definitely him!"
Jiang Yuan: "…"
His secretary: "…"
When those words were said, the entire venue quieted down. Everyone was staring at Jiang Yuan and the people from Central TV Department 1 with subtle looks in their eyes!
Silence!
Dead silence!
At this moment, it was as though the sound of face smacking was reverberating out from nowhere, as the invisible hand smacked across the faces of Jiang Yuan, his secretary, and their group of people!!
Ha Qiqi mouth twitched.
Little Wang held in her laughter until her face turned red!
The Central TV cameraman who was holding the camcorder up for the interview was also dumbfounded, as he stood still where he was!
Wu Yi also stood there in amazement for the longest time. He had seen before how Director Zhang face-smacked others, but this was the first time he was witnessing such a harsh face-smacking!
This was far too ruthless!
This face-smacking was so hard that it nearly left its victims shitting in their pants!!
Right now, Jiang Yuan only had one thought. If there was a sewage pipe in the ground, he would have definitely crawled inside to escape all this!
Zhang!
Fuck your grandpa!!!


Zhang Ye was originally a mundane college graduate with aspiring dreams to become a star, but unfortunately has below average looks and height. However one day, he woke up and suddenly found himself in a parallel world!

Armed with the profound literary knowledge of his previous world and a heaven-defying Game Ring that gives him magical items, stats and skills, Zhang Ye embarks on a journey to pursue his life-long dream of becoming famous!
Follow Zhang Ye as he takes the new world by storm, one plagiarized piece at a time, to hilarious reactions!

Sure enough, as soon as I clicked the next tile in place a single monster spawned. It was a kobold. It was hairy with a dog snout and shabby leather armor covering its body. It wielded a sword and shield. As a monster, they had some intelligence and knew how to fight pretty well. Sady for it though, as soon as Sam saw it, he had already shot multiple fireballs at it burning it to ash. To be honest it was not a pretty sight. Unlike how you would see it in games when a kobold was hit by a fireball it would be singed slightly before turning into particles of light and dying. No, this was pretty gruesome in so many ways. I mean the agonizing screams it released from its mouth as it died and the look of unwillingness it had in its eyes, was all too real. But if it was the other way around it would have been one of us in the same situation. 
This was just a small reminder of how real this world is. Although, I understood all of this after bloodying my hands for the first time. But still seeing things like this just sets it in even more. I wondered if there will be a day where I take everything as the norm. Then again. I now do not even think when killing a human. Well, my stomach still turns when thinking about it, so I guess I am not one hundred percent used to it yet.
But with only one monster spawning on my first mistake, I wondered if my second mistake would spawn two. I soon learned that this was not true. My second mistake spawned three kobolds, the third time was nine, and when we got to the fifth time, twenty monsters spawned. I was starting to get nervous because the last fight was a little tough for us all, with such a confined space. If we continued like this, we would end up with this room being filled with hundreds maybe even thousands of monsters.
"Rei, don't move any more blocks for now." Able suddenly spoke up. He was also tired. Even with my higher stats, I was starting to feel it as well. Defending and attacking while trying to keep both Marsil and Sam safe was not easy. Like just now after twenty kobolds spawned we had spears and swords coming at us from all sides. Both Sam and Marsil did not come out unscathed this time. Sam was slashed in the arm with a sword and Marsil took a spear to the leg. It was a very difficult battle. But if you cast the wrong spell you could end up hurting more than just the enemy. I was starting to think I should have practiced my magic much more. with my current control, I was scared of harming Able and the rest, in such an enclosed space.
"I know… we got to figure out a better way of dealing with this..." I said as I laid on the floor.
"From what I know, puzzle rooms normally have only one way to solve things but some had two. We could see if there is another way to escape." Able explained.
"What happens if you solve the puzzle?" I asked. I mean I was curious, was there some kind of prize for completing the puzzle? Or do you just regain your freedom?
"As far as I know a chest will appear after the puzzle is completed and sometimes a decent artifact will drop." Able replied. I suddenly felt like I was living in an RPG! (Role Playing Game) This was the only thing I could think of when I heard you get an item from completing the puzzle.
"So, I'm guessing if we escape the room without completing the puzzle we get nothing right?" I felt a little reluctant to give up the prize but if we continued trying to fight all the monsters that spawned we would end up dead eventually. And to be honest I did not want to start over again from the kidnapping incident. I mean it is lucky that I am able to die and be resurrected but… I do not want to watch those close to me die either… The system did say that when I die I will remember everything that happened. 
"Yes, in order to successfully get the item at the end, one must solve the puzzle. " Able confirmed my question. I looked at both Sam and Marsil who were wounded and fell into thought. "Let's see if there is a second way out of the room. If we continue as we are someone will end up seriously injured or dead. If all else fails, I can always try to kill everything at the same time." 
Everyone nodded at my suggestion but unfortunately, our luck was not good. There was no second easier puzzle. The room was completely empty except for the chest. The door itself was sealed off with neganite so we could not use magic to open it. I ever tried using my sword to cut it open but since it was made with magic it did nothing. We all fell to the floor to our butts and let out a long sigh.
 "Looks like our only choice is to continue with the puzzle..." Marsil looked very unwilling but I could tell she also knew that we had no other choice. 
"For now, let's just study the puzzle and figure out how it should look in the end. Because if we keep doing it blindly we may end up with a block stuck on the opposite side of where it should go." I suggested. I wanted to reduce the number of battles as much as possible.
"This is a good idea. Then we can arrange which tiles should be moved next and reduce our battles by a great amount. Rei and I will work on this while you two heal up."

Is love so easily accomplished? For a girl, they can flash a little skin and get boys to fawn over them. Can that be considered love?  Wouldn't that just make them sluts? I would rather kill myself than be touched by a man I do not love. I might be old fashion but this is how I was raised for fifteen years of my life. 

The one day I decided to open my mouth and say something, was the day I truly found out how screwed up this life was. 

After my death, I found myself in a familiar place with an annoying system talking inside my head.  I was somehow reborn in my favorite otome game? And I was neither the protagonist nor the villainous? Just a side NPC! Not only did it have the same game system as the otome game but it also had a small twist which required me to cultivate my magic?

If this was not enough I found that all the love interests keep trying to talk to me.  

With my head swirling with all the things happening around me will I finally find my chance at true love?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I am back. New chapters are coming and I hope that you guys miss me. I have improved my writing a bit and add a different style to it so tell me if you notice anything. also, don't forget to vote. enjoy.
<<<<<<<<<<Chapter Starts from here>>>>>>>>>>>
After giving instructions to Qing, Fu Yan started to improve the game.
His goal was to give the user the freedom they wanted.
Though games are games but many players want the games to be realistic because they want to able to do things, they can't do in reality.
That's what games are for.
They allow players to escape reality.
Though games are very good for entertainment but they are also criticized because players get addicted to them and they waste their time so Fu Yan was trying to create a game that would be widely different from all those other games available.
His main focus was to give freedom to players to allow them to do whatever they wanted to do in-game though there would be some restrictions but mostly they would have the freedom they wanted.
The second point was to make it a widely different game by giving it a genre of educational entertainment.
This was the other task that he gave Qing to solve.
The idea was to add puzzles in the game which after being solved would give players boast or something similar.
Fu Yan was not the first one to think about this idea. Many Top-level game companies also thought of this point but it was very hard to implement because when one person solve the puzzle, he would tell others and they would solve it by the same process and creativity would end there.
But Fu Yan had something that they did not have and that is "AI". 
Qing would be given the task to add puzzles and in-game educational entertainment.
She was currently gathering data from different sources.
The first option is to replace puzzles every day whether they were solved or not and the second one was to monitor the puzzles data. If one puzzle had been solved 5 times, it would become invalid and would be replaced.
Now here came the tricky part. If one wanted to replace puzzles in a game, they had to release patches for that players would become annoyed because they would want to enjoy the game not download updates after updates for it.
So Fu Yan was stuck at this point and this was also the main reason why his game was not finished yet.
He had already finished the game development book and was ready to return it to the library.
"I should ask Old Shun if there was any book related to this problem in the library that I can read with my level."
After thinking that he went to his bed and laid down.
He swiped on his hand and appeared in the great hall of the library.
Old Shun was standing there, smiling as usual.
Fu Yan also smiled upon seeing him and said.
"I have finished this book and I am stuck on a problem while developing a game so I want to know if there is any technology available that I can use at my level."
Old Shun smiled and asked about the problem that he was facing.
Old Shun gave a book after thinking for some time.
The book was unlike other books which were of normal size because this book was heavy and thick.
Its thickness was that of 3 or 4 previous books combined.
Fu Yan was surprised upon seeing the book of this size.
He looked at the title and a look of excitement could be seen on his face upon reading it.
"The Essentials of Cloud Gaming and Computing(beginer+)"
He knew that with this book he would not have to worry about most of the problems that he might face in future because cloud computing was the core of many technology giants and they were still perfecting it and from the standards of the Library, The technology in this book would be more advanced than that of earth.
After giving him this book, Old Shun said.
"As you can see this is a beginer+ book and its content would be a little hard for you to understand but seeing that you are hard-working and giving your all so I am giving a gift. You might have needed 40 to 50 credits to understand the knowledge in this book but with my gift, you won't be needing them."
After saying that he pointed his finger towards Fu Yan's head and he could feel a surge of knowledge entering his brain.
Fu Yan was confused with this behavior of Old Shun so he asked.
"Old why did you gave me a gift?"
Old Shun just smiled and said.
"You will be the last librarian that I have to train and after this, I would be free from this duty so I want you to become a librarian fast."
Fu Yan was even more confused after hearing this.
"What do you mean by you would be free after training me."
Old Shun explained to him.
"You see we guardian or you can call us workers are different from librarians. We enter into a contract with this library after we fail to return the books we borrow in time and don't have compensation to pay so we become workers for the library for a period of time to pay what we owe and my settlement was a huge because I lost the book that I borrowed from the library so I had to enter into a contract to work for the library for 3000 years or help train 10 librarians so though only 2134 years have passed, I have already trained 9 of them and you would be the last that I have to train. Though we lose our freedom but we have some privileges. We can access books in the library easily and improve our knowledge and we also have other perks but everything in this library follow the rule of equal exchange so you can understand what I want to say."
Fu Yan's mind was filled with questions but Old Shun refused to say more, saying he would answer these questions of his at a later time."

The first part of the video was strung together with other game materials and various sand sculpture emoji packs. The audience quickly entered into the state with Teacher Qiao's unique husky voice.
At the same time, the theme of the video became the theme of Be Quiet. Teacher Qiao was about to introduce the gameplay of this game!
"Many people did not experience this game because of anger and other reasons. I will introduce the gameplay in detail and talk about the highlights of this game.
"Please jump to the final conclusion if you already have an understanding of this.
"This is a multiplayer horror game that requires connection to the Internet. Therefore, everyone, please throw away all your stereotypes of standalone horror games from your mind. Let us embrace a new fear mode!
"Standalone horror games of the past only create horror effects in these few areas: setting and model, unexpected plots… unexpected surprises…
"There are often many terrifying scenes in these games such as misty mysterious towns, cannibal villages full of crazy villagers, laboratories full of zombies, etc. They create a visual and auditory impact through the setting.
"At the same time, these standalone games use plots to manipulate the players' fears. For example, NPCs will tie up the protagonist and then inflict various tortures on the protagonist such as gouging his eyes, pulling his tongue, and cutting his fingers—doing everything he can. 
"When the player is brought into the protagonist's first-person perspective, you will also get a sense of extreme horror. The last would be some sudden shock such as a corpse suddenly falling down when the door was pushed and was suddenly caught by a monster while walking.
"These are the horror we can experience in traditional standalone horror games.
"Of course, these are very classic horror game segments, but now, I want to point out the two shortcomings of this approach.
"First, the stimulation is too straightforward. To increase the horror effect, many manufacturers only blindly add gore to the game, make all kinds of disgusting monsters, and design all kinds of torture horror plots…"
"But this kind of stimulation is mainly a kind of sensory stimulation, which may cause some physical discomfort. At the same time, too much sensory stimulation will also make the game itself appear too heavy and give people a feeling of crudeness.
"Real fear comes from the hearts of the people!
"Secondly, the repeatability of play is not high.
"Players will be able to get the ultimate shock effect when they experience the process for the first time. However, everything will become dull once the player clears the game.
"A normal gamer will not want to experience it a second time. It would become a parkour game[1]. The horror game will lose its original meaning.
"And Be Quiet turned out to be a new way to solve these two problems that had never been solved. Fear is struck from the heart without seeing too many gory scenes and allows the game to be played endlessly at the same time!"
… 
Next was the introduction to the basic gameplay of the game as well as the revisit by Teacher Qiao towards the gameplay. 
Each round of the game was randomly matched according to the player segment. They were also randomly assigned onto the map. The players would be refreshed and spawn on a certain point on the current map.
The purpose of each room and props would be randomly refreshed on the map. However, relatively speaking, some larger rooms and more critical locations with better props.
The eight players would play the role of policeman, good person, mentally-ill patient, and ambitious schemer. No one could identify the others except for the policeman. Each had a different game goal.
The way to win for the police and the good person was relatively simple. The entire map was blocked. They had to search for decryption spells everywhere. A random exit would appear when a certain number of spells were activated, and everyone could escape at random.
Teacher Qiao divided the general process of the game into four stages.
The first stage was the free search stage where players were far away from each other at the beginning. They had to search for open spaces and roam around as much as possible to try to get as many items useful to their identity as possible. They would have to determine their next steps based on their items obtained.
Next would be the initial contact stage. Generally speaking, a small number of mentally-ill players would choose to become mad at this point in time. However, they might also be besieged by the police and many good people with props. 
Some mentally-ill players would choose to disguise themselves as good people with props. A portion of the mentally-ill players would choose to disguise as good people. 
Generally, the police would simultaneously summon other players to find the decryption spell hidden in the map. 
However, the sanity meter in the game was set; the more people gathered in the area, the easier it was to activate voice chat. However, voice chat would cause the sanity meter to decrease. 
Therefore, it was impossible for players to gather for a long time. They must be dispersed in a certain way, watch looking for the decryption spell.
The game would then enter into the third stage which was the chaos stage.
At this stage, some mentally-ill people would attack good people frantically with all sorts of tools they had accumulated. The good people could also fight back. Of course, the mentally-ill people could also reduce the sanity meter of good people through some method and make them into mentally-ill people as well, forcing them to walk the madman's victory path…
In short, the game would be pretty chaotic at this point in time. Players could also sabotage one another.
The final stage was the closing stage. Generally speaking, at this stage, players had already been eliminated to two or three people. Most decryption spells on the map had been solved. Players would compete with the technology and tools they had through searching and obtain the final victory.
Qiao Liang then briefly introduced some of the more interesting situations he had encountered.
Of course, these replays were not particularly exciting in Pei Qian's eyes. There was always a limit to what the game would offer since players would not understand if it was too complicated. That would be embarrassing.
However, one would be able to get the most exciting gaming experience when one was in it!
To Pei Qian, he had never experienced Be Quiet in depth before since it was a network game and he could not play it alone. Pei Qian finally understood that with Teacher Qiao's introduction.
The initial stage of the game was searching for items that were a little similar to eating chicken. The identity setting was similar to board games such as Three Kingdoms or The Werewolf Game. The battle portion was a bit like the asymmetrical competition like Dead by Daylight. 
There were three aspects to the game itself:
First of all, its replayability had a certain degree of luck. Many people will pursue the sure win in the game. For example, a mental patient would find a house and tools with a sanity meter and health items. 
They would unleash a massacre immediately; some people get the ultimate victory by following the police or playing well when the initial props were not good.
Second was a test of wits within the rules. Using limited language to command or mislead other players, guessing the identity of the other players was no different from that of a board game.
Lastly was to showcase operations like Dead by Daylight. Use props and techniques to defeat more powerful enemies. At the same time, a good player would also experience a special sense of horror. 
Players would be cautious of each other. No one would know when they could be suddenly caught and attacked. They could only move forward in the dark, cautiously, not daring to make a sound.
Such horror would come from the other players, from the heart of the player. Therefore, it was scarier than standalone games.
For example, some mentally-ill players would purposely hide within a room. He would wait for the good men to search for the decryption spell and then suddenly jump out to attack!
In short, no matter how good the video was, it was certainly impossible to fully explain the feeling of playing it in person.
However, Qiao Liang analyzed the core cool points of this game through his own editing techniques and detailed analysis. Bullet screen comments with 'F*ck' instantly floated by when talking about the game. Everyone sighed; the game could be played this way?
… 
Finally, the video entered its final stage.
"I'm sure everyone has a certain understanding of Be Quiet after watching this video. So back to the original question, why did the production team work so hard to make ARG and eye-tracking games?
"You have to know that they could have done nothing and start selling immediately. They could just put the players into the game at once."
"However, they created such a complicated puzzle-solving activity and added a threshold to the purchase of this game in the form of a game to ensure a certain degree of entertainment without charging a penny.
"That is so that every player could integrate into the game with ease!
"If players spent money on the game—only to find the content unsuitable, they would have to ask for a refund, which was very troublesome. Therefore, the production team decided to do it outside the game so that the unsuitable players were saved from the tedious step of refunding.
"Someone would definitely ask… would he be suited for this game if he were to pass this test?
"I have to say, most likely but not definitely.
"Let us think, what is the most important quality of this game Be Quiet? It requires a certain IQ, good resistance to horror games, and a serious attitude towards learning.
"Everyone should have discovered by now; the pre-conditions for the purchase happen to be the test!
"The puzzle-solving aspect of the ARG was to train IQ for the game; the eye-tracking game was to exercise the ability to resist the horror; and the entire test itself was to examine whether you had the patience and the attitude towards learning.
"If you give up after encountering some difficulty or are not interested in puzzle games, or you might have completed the decryption but could not even be bothered to copy the homework, or if you cannot persist in the eyeball catching game…
"Then, you will definitely not be able to enjoy Be Quiet. Instead, you will affect the gaming experience of the other players!
"This test can be said to be taking care of two types of players at once. To people who were suitable for this game, it guaranteed their gaming experience. For those who were not suitable, it saved them time and money.
"The only party that made a loss was the gaming company itself with a loss of income.
"However, game companies are willing to give up this part of their income for the sake of a longer life of the game and a better experience for the players. Even when it caused heated disputes and was criticized badly, they did not come out to explain and accepted everything with silence.
"Therefore, many said that the game merchant is sick. They can just sell it directly, why did they need to set a precondition for the purchase? Wasn't it disgusting?
"I want to say, it really is the case. It really is dissuading players in a certain sense.
"But, please calm down to think. What if the producers did everything not for themselves but for all the players to have a better gaming experience?
"Therefore, the title this week is 'The Pain and Pride of a Top Game Designer'!
"He worked so hard to set up so many complicated preconditions for purchase of the game, for players to have better gaming experience. At the same time, he is too proud to explain to all players, and so he put on a calm disposition: 'It doesn't matter if you understand me; praise me or scold me, the game is here.'
"I think it is the blessing of all domestic players to have such a thoughtful, individualistic, and conscientious game producer!
"Too many game dealers are trying their best to suck up to the players, the ballers. You can become a master and have your way in the game by paying money. They don't set up any obstacles or let you use your brain; they only give you some false experience points and props just by clicking the mouse…
"But are you really happy? Is your wallet getting thinner? Is your thinking becoming more rigid? How long have you not experienced the shudder of the soul by solving a puzzle or discovering a kind of new gameplay?
"Don't you feel that it's a pity that most local game designers are making such games?
"So, I hope that students who are interested in this game can calm down, experience the designer's true intentions, patiently complete the prerequisites, and experience this complicated game in person.
"I believe you will be able to find a totally different world!"
[1] This refers to games where the player only runs and goes through obstacles with speed.


I really just want to lose money! T_T

Under the watching eyes of the entire gaming industry, the statistics of Plants vs Zombies continued to increase.
First twenty-four hours, 23,187! First three days, 77,409; first week, 122,375; first thirty days, 514,580!
Over that first month, the video game media and video game designers were shocked time and time again. Normally a game would grow in the first week and slowly decrease. Plants vs Zombies had a stable number of downloads even through the fourth week!
Five hundred thousand sales in the first month! What did that mean? Chen Mo had earned more than two million RMB from this game in just one month!
This number was insane for someone fresh to the industry, so much so that Plants vs Zombies had set off a craze in the video game industry!
The players were spreading like a virus, the sales numbers kept on increasing!
Many players formed their own communities to try and figure out strategies for Plants vs Zombies, in particular the endless mode, as the leaderboards shifted day to day.
The video game media had new articles every day, with different industry professionals analyzing the success of Plants vs Zombies.
Many game designers were discussioning the very same topic, even in major discussion forums and the Illusion Game Engine discussions.
How did Plants vs Zombies become so popular?
Can its success be replicated? Can it be used as a reference?
The level design, combat system, code, tutorial, art, music and some other details of Plants vs Zombies were studied again and again, becoming a benchmark for other puzzle games.
------
An A-grade Zen Entertainment designer released a long Weibo post, detailing what made Plants vs Zombies so successful. They also mentioned that the puzzle game industry was about to have its renaissance.
In his Weibo post, he said: To be honest, I quite admire Chen Mo, the creator of Plants vs Zombies. As a new video game designer, he has provided us video game designers who overlook casual games with an important lesson.
We always think that casual games are a small matter, and only C and D-grade video game designers use them to hone their skills. Because casual puzzle games like these were never able to have extended playtimes or strongly engage with the players, the players would grow tired of them, resulting in huge losses.
Many of these so-called puzzle games don't have many puzzling elements to them. They are usually child's play, and far off from the larger puzzle games.
However, Plants vs Zombies has overturned that traditional view. Who said puzzle games couldn't be complicated? Who said puzzle games couldn't have extended playtimes? Two of the biggest problems that were holding back puzzle games were solved by Plants vs Zombies!
Obviously, it wasn't the type of game that was the problem; it was our thinking that was limited!
Not only that, Plants vs Zombies showed us that there is a huge market for casual puzzle games. These games aren't niche, but can cover the entire market!
Moreover, Chen Mo has taught an important lesson to all C and D-grade video game designers: even if you have lower resource limits or worse skills, it doesn't matter. Doesn't everyone claim they are full of innovation? If you really are innovative, go ahead and make a casual game like Plants vs Zombies; it will allow you to reach the peak as a videogame designer!
As for Chen Mo, I think he has shown his prowess in puzzle games. As long as he can keep this going and make another two or three puzzle games at the same level as Plants vs Zombies, I can guarantee that he will become not just one of the best, but the best video game designer in China!
------
Industry professionals, video game media, player discussion... all of their evaluations were positive. There was nothing like what had happened with Flappybird last time, where a video game designer or game reviewer came out and pointed their finger at Plants vs Zombies and said it was bad. 
Once in a while there would be a hate message, but they would be drowned out by the fans.
Chen Mo knew that he made the right choice, for both fame and fortune. After Plants vs Zombies topped the casual puzzle games chart, Chen Mo was now the word on the street.
------
In a month's time, Chen Mo had ninety thousand followers on Weibo, demonstrating the popularity of the game.
However, Chen Mo knew that Plants vs Zombies still had greater potential.
In his previous life, Plants vs Zombies had reached three hundred thousand sales in the first nine days, breaking several records, and had actually taken the world by storm.
Chen Mo had already managed to recreate at least ninety percent of Plants vs Zombies up, but had only received five hundred thousand sales. Evidently there was still a gap between it and the original.
Chen Mo gave the matter some thought.
First was advertising. Chen Mo hadn't done any advertising. The video game media reposts did give him some attention, but it was worlds away from the advertising the big companies were able to do. Plants vs Zombies basically started off on the wrong foot compared to them.
Second was the market problem. Plants vs Zombies was only released in China. If he was able to release it outside of China, the sales should be higher.
However, Chen Mo was satisfied with his performance so far. Although Plants vs Zombies did have the ability to enter the international market, Chen Mo didn't want to invest too much time and effort into it.
In Chen Mo's view, the overseas market was unexplored territory. Were the tastes of the overseas market the same in this parallel world? That required a lot of time and effort to experiment with.
Chen Mo didn't want to consider the overseas market for now, so he didn't put too much effort into it. Chen Mo was quite happy with the fact that Plants vs Zombies was able to achieve results like it had. He didn't expect the game to break the sky.
If just considering the starting steps, Chen Mo had forged a perfect start as a videogame designer. What he could achieve next depended on what he wanted to do!
------
10 AM...
Chen Mo sat at the bar table letting out yawns left and right.
He had been out drinking with Lin Mao and Zhao Zihao till 11 PM, and was suffering the effects of that.
Since Chen Mo and Lin Mao had great success with their games, a celebration was required. Therefore Chen Mo decided to let himself enjoy some alcohol this time.
Adventure of the Storm Rider received seventy thousand downloads in the first month. Although it didn't come close to Plants vs Zombies, it was top three on the new games leaderboards, raking in about eight hundred thousand RMB for Lin Mao.
Lin Mao was quite happy with that achievement, as most new video game designers couldn't even hope to achieve results like that.
Of course, Lin Mao was head over heels with results that Plants vs Zombies had achieved. Within his admiration was happiness for Chen Mo.
During the past few days, Wen Lingwei and Jia Peng didn't come to the experience store every day like they had before. After playing it for a month, their passion for Plants vs Zombies had slowly died down.
More and more strategies were being released to the public, and more and more were being discovered, but the passion for the game would die down over time.
Wen Lingwei and the others were urging Chen Mo to release a sequel, or even a new game.
Chen Mo knew in his heart that Plants vs Zombies had a really long lifetime. Some people might be able to play it for one or two years, but for the majority, they'd get sick of it after a month or two.
Of course, for a standalone game, it didn't matter that the gamers were sick of it. What was important was that the game was sold and money was earned. All that was left to do was to release the next game.
Chen Mo was ready to move his focus to his next game, but before that, he wanted to give Plants vs Zombies an update!


Chen Mo liked calling himself a video game designer, despite being a mere video game producer.
After dying one day from work-related stress, he transmigrated into a parallel world as himself, right after he graduated. He was now in the body of his younger self, who also aspired to be a video game designer. 
Will he be able to fulfill his dream after being reborn in this oddly different new world, and become the best video game designer in that world?
Follow Chen Mo on his romp through video game classics as he brings the great games of the past to a whole new world in pursuit of his dreams!

Della's smile faded some as she laid back down, facing the ceiling. "What year is it, anyway? Back in the real world?"
Eli tucked in his tail and fumbled with his wings, trying to get comfortable. "2027. July. I just graduated, actually." 

"2027? Seriously?" Della popped up once more to stare at Eli. She sat on the edge of her seat this time. 
"What's it like? Are there flying cars now? Did we send anyone to Mars? Did World War III happen!?"

Eli chuckled at her reactions. "Woah, woah. There's no flying cars yet. Pretty sure we proved that a flying car is basically just an airplane, though; but Spacex is planning a Mars launch for later this year. And no, WWIII never happened." 

Eli looked over at Della, who was now deep in thought. He paused for a second before continuing. 
"Wait. You said you were eighteen... How long have you been in Peri-Helix's program? I thought it was brand new..." he asked, curiously. 

"I thought it was new, too. When I said I was eighteen, I meant it. My story is the same as yours. Invited right out of high school with promises of career success in gaming technology. I was the global star of Peri-Helix's gaming tournaments, but I wanted to design games, not just play them. So I accepted, thinking that I'd move up the ranks if I started as a tester." 
Della's eyes glazed over. She shrank in stature, no longer giving off a confident aura — this new aura was sore, tired, and sad. 

"When was that? What happened?" Eli asked, softly. 

"According to your date? Ten years ago." Della flopped over onto her bed once again. "I'm 28 now, apparently." She murmured.

Eli's mouth gaped in shock. Ten years? How is that possible? And how does she not remember any of it? Surely they had to let her out, somehow... at least occasionally... right? 

"Ten... ten years..." Ei repeated. 

"Looks that way, yeah." 

"But then how are you still new in this game? Surely you'd have been seasoned by now" Eli asked. There was anxiety in his voice. Would he be here for ten years, too? He had so many questions, now more than ever. 

"As far as I remember, I've been through at least fourteen games. The only recollection of time that I have is in those games, and for half of them, time doesn't change at all until chapter, cut scene, or objective is completed. I've tested first-person shooters, RPGs, puzzle games, 2D and 3D platformers... all from several different genres. The worst..." Della stopped and swallowed, like she was getting choked up. "The worst was a first-person horror game. I hate horror..." A small tear welled up in her eye. 

Eli's heart ached. Della's supposed 'best years' of her life were taken from her. He jumped down and jogged over to Della, crawling up onto her bed to sit next to her. "I'm sorry, Della... that's awful." He reached out gently to pat her hand. "I hate horror, too." He smiled, attempting to keep Della's spirits up. 

Della smiled weakly. "Hah... thanks. Anyone else that's been in and out never really asked about my personal life; they just thought it was all part of the gig." 

This made Eli feel another pang of guilt. "I'm sorry, Della. I wish there was more I could do. But unfortunately it looks like I've met the same fate." He sighed, feeling helpless. 

"Hey, you're here, and you've already proven you care about others. That's a pretty good start." Della smiled. After a moment, however, she paused in thought. 

"What is it?" Eli asked, noticing her change. 

"Maybe there's a way we can get out. It's a long shot, but it could be all we've got." Della said with a serious tone. 

"If you think it's worth a try, I'm with you all the way." Eli assured her. He wanted to help her escape this prison, whatever it took. He felt a sense of purpose, for the first time in forever. He patted Della's hand once more. 

"Thank you, so much." Della whispered, as a teardrop rolled down her cheek. She swiped it away with a giggle. "Look at me, crying like a baby." 

Eli smiled. "You're no baby. You're the strongest person I know. And I just met you today" He chuckled in response. 

"So, what is your plan?" Eli asked. He perched beside Della, who sat up and leaned against the wall. 

"Well... I don't remember much about them, but the transitions between games can get fuzzy. Sometimes they feel like dreams. I thought they may have just been visions or something, but now I believe that those were me being unhooked from one game, transferred to waiting, and re-hooked to the next game." 

"Oh, I see. That would make sense, considering they would probably have to leave us semi-conscious to function. Perhaps some kind of trance. So it could be, then, that once they pull you off, they have to deliver some anesthetic to ensure we wouldn't wake up too much" Eli pondered. Could this be their way out? 

"If there's a way that we can will our way out of that trance, or while in transit, that might be our way out. But the only way they change games is if we complete it, or at least get far enough that they determine our progress is satisfactory. I also know that process takes a bit of time, and can be stringent on us, which means that could also be an escape opportunity." 

Eli soaked in every word carefully. Though he hadn't experienced it yet, everything that Della was saying seemed to make sense. He felt invigorated. 
"So, when do we start?"

"Considering that we just started this game? We get to work." Della said, smiling confidently.

Elliot Rowan was an average youth. Newly eighteen, he had graduated high school with no real plans; all he knew is, he loved escaping to fantastic worlds through video games, where he could be something more than a pale, average, midwestern nerd. 

Elliot had made a name for himself in the video game community — but was better known by his gamertag, CloudJumperEli. Elliot wanted to seek a career in his passion, but his family believed that he should pursue a “practical” job field, continually mentioning his less than stellar grades throughout his time in school. 
Amid his few college invitations, one day Elliot receives a letter from Peri-Helix Entertainment — only the greatest, most prestigious game manufacturer in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE! 

“Dear Elliot Rowan -
We here at Peri-Helix Entertainment are constantly searching for the best of the best in everything we do. As you must know, Peri-Helix follows all activity among our games to ensure we give the best experiences possible. Elliot, we believe you are a star candidate for a new program we’ve started under our Human Resources department, titled GEAR. We’ve carefully selected smart, skilled, and devoted talent such as yourself to participate. Please respond to this invitation via email; GEAR@perihelix.entertainment.com
We look forward to your answer.”

Hooo S#!T, is this real? Of course Elliot accepted! He signed on and shipped out within the week from his home in Minnesota to the head of Peri-Helix Entertainment located in Los Angeles, California. His dreams were being realized! 

The only question Elliot had: What does GEAR stand for?

"Bro, bro, bro… Brother Jue… Just, just… now…" Wang Tanzhi stammered, and his Terror Points saw another huge spike. Due to the accumulation of fear, even though he calmed down several seconds later, the Terror Points did not lower to zero but hovered around fifteen percent.
Feng Bujue interrupted his friend expressionlessly and with a calm tone. "According to my analysis, we have two choices."
"What… what is it?" Wang Tanzhi still had trouble getting his words out.
"First, you grab your knife, rush forward, and slash at anything that you see when you turn the corner," Feng Bujue said, "and I will cover behind you."
"I pick the second choice." Wang Tanzhi could suddenly speak normally. He had not even heard the second choice.
"Actually, I'm leaning toward the second choice as well." As Feng Bujue spoke, he walked past Wang Tanzhi and grabbed the handle of the first door on their right. It was common knowledge that doorways were a common prop in scary games or movies; no one could tell what horrifying scene would greet them behind the door. Furthermore, there was the common 'door death' trope, where danger would appear before your eyes the moment you opened the door.
Normally, in this situation, people would use their arm to push the door, squat down, and lean as far away from the door as possible. This posture enabled them to escape should the need arise. However, Feng Bujue's action was so casual that you would think that he was at home, opening the door to the kitchen or something. He walked ahead, leaned forward, and pushed the door open.
There was no light in the room, and the light from the corridor filtered in. The scene within was harrowing.
This was a sickbay around ten meters wide. The cupboards by the walls and the trash cans in the corners were tipped over. The floor was littered with stuff, but most of it looked like useless trash like torn cloth, crumbled balls of paper, a broken vase, dirtied sanitizer cotton, broken medicine vials, and so on. The bedsheets of the patient's bed had been torn into shreds, and the whole room reeked of blood. Everywhere, there was blood.
"Training Mode becomes unavailable after players reach level five, so obviously, this mode is designed for new players, to help them successfully rise to level five."
Feng Bujue gave his comments as he walked over to the cupboards to flip one of them over and start searching through the contents that had been left behind.
"Those 'experts' will at most play one Training Mode before moving on, or perhaps they might skip it altogether. Because this type of players must have read the gaming guide already, they know that completing the game in training mode will get them much worse rewards than if they attempt the official survival mode."
Feng Bujue found a syringe that was still in its package inside the cupboard. He studied its attribute before tossing it into his backpack.
"Based on the rewards, since the Training Mode is much worse than the tutorial, I assume that the difficulty will be no different from the tutorial. There will not be much puzzle-solving and an acceptable degree of scares."
He squatted down to sniff at the contents of the broken vials.
"Actually, we can just ignore the exploration of these few doors and charge at that dark shadow to continue the game. I give it twenty minutes and perhaps a few battles that might harm our Life Points before we finish this scenario."
"So, why are we here?" Wang Tanzhi asked.
"I already told you, there are two choices; you're the one who wanted choice number two." Feng Bujue unfurled the balls of paper on the ground and moved them toward the light to read. "The second choice is to solve the puzzle."
"Hey… but didn't you say…"
"I said that we can clear the scenario without solving the puzzle, not that there is no puzzle to be solved," Feng Bujue interrupted. "However, even if we solve the puzzle, we are not going to get any Skill Points."
He continued to read the paper notes with no change to his expression.
"But there is a benefit to clearing the puzzle; it will lower the difficulty of the scenario. To put it simply… we'll use our intelligence to resolve some of the parts that would have required us to use our strength." Then, he picked out one of the notes and handed it to Wang Tanzhi. "Take a look at this."
"This is…" Wang Tanzhi read it for a few seconds and asked, "Medical history?"
———
Item Name: Medical History of Unknown Patient
Item Type: Plot Item
Quality: Normal
Function: Unknown
Can be taken out of scenario: No
Remark: Most of the words written on this note are covered by blood.
———
"You should be more familiar with this," Feng Bujue said and waved the other stack of paper in his hand. "I'll read the rest."
Wang Tanzhi only glanced at them, and he could feel his scalp go numb. The top piece of paper on the stack Feng Bujue was holding had a drawing of a creepy human face.
The two walked out to the corridor where there was light. They read silently for about four minutes. Wang Tanzhi read closely, but since most of the medical history was blotted out by blood, he had to make many educated guesses. Feng Bujue, on the other hand, was skim-reading; he went through the stack of paperwork quickly. He was a reading maniac, so he was a fast reader, an efficiency that was made better by his good comprehension and memory. Furthermore, the content of the papers did not scare him. To him, they looked no different from the pictures in a magazine.
"Are you done?" Feng Bujue, who had the thicker stack, asked.
Wang Tanzhi was still going through the medical records. He answered, "This is a male, twelve years old… still a child."
"Oh…" Feng Bujue touched his chin. "So, a youth army member."
No one knew how his brain worked…
"Hmm… He was hospitalized for a long time due to leukemia, but…" Wang Tanzhi put the papers down. "From the records, his days were numbered…"
He lifted his head, and his eyes moved to the end of the corridor. "If he's still here, he's a ghost by now…"
"That's not necessary," Feng Bujue said. "There are three doors, and we only know that the first door might lead to the room of the boy on the medical record, but we do not know if the shadow that we saw earlier was him."
He passed his stack of paper to Wang Tanzhi. "There's no need for you to go through them, just look at the attributes."
After a second's pause, he added, "There are six different faces on these papers, and every single page is numbered in the corner."
———
Item Name: Facial Portrait x6

"I'm getting more and more confused…" Wang Tanzhi sighed.
Feng Bujue nodded. "That's normal because the clues are still quite insufficient."
Then he walked to the second room door. "By the way, I have a speculation, and this speculation is also why I prefer to solve the puzzle before attempting to clear the scenario."
Pushing the door open, he said, "I believe that in one of these three rooms, we can find at least one useable piece of equipment."
 


This is a game beyond dimension–the pursuit of truth. 
The unknown seal, the gambit between gods and demons… 
The defiance against data, the retribution of human…

Throw away your selfish interest, question, and disbelief… Free your thought. 
Welcome to Thriller Paradise. 
Feng Bujue lost his ability to fear because of an unknown psychological disorder. Through a virtual reality game designed for players to experience fright and despair, he began his search for his lost fear. Could he finally regain his ability to fear? Could he outwit the scenarios presented to him? Could he finally uncover the truth hidden inside Thriller Paradise?  


"Hello, boys."
With hands in his pocket, Felix approached the stunned due with quick footsteps. He wasn't worried about them escaping his inducements effect. If any random could just do so, the primogenitor should just hand his poison lord position to another.
Agitated at hearing that familiar damned voice, Battalion and Disgraced were on the verge of insanity. They could neither move nor think straight to activate a single ability. They were completely crippled both physically and mentally by Felix's inducement combo.
If only they were able to close their eyes, the vertigo feeling would have lessened and let them activate their abilities. Unfortunately, even their eyelids were paralyzed.
"Next time, don't enter a partnership if you don't know how it works."
That was the last advice they heard before their skulls got penetrated with Felix's index fingers at exactly 5 seconds.
Felix had it all calculated in his mind. He was absolutely certain that only two bombs were enough for him to finish them off. If he wasn't, he would have thrown two more as a precaution.
Thud Thud!
Their bodies immediately hit the ground after Felix retrieved his fingers which were supporting their weight. Their agitated expressions remained affixed in their faces even after turning into corpses.
Felix cleaned his bloodied fingers with a handkerchief and pulled those two away from the wall. They were lying exactly in front of the hidden compartment.
After dealing with the corpses, he stood a few meters away from the wall and squinted at it, trying to see the exact shapes of the things inside. He wasn't a retard like those two, who stood merely a meter away from the compartment.
But, he could excuse their behavior as they didn't have the same vision as him. If they did, they would have been scared shitless at how close they were to hell.
His eyes reflected a red circle pulsing with heatwaves, a medium-sized chest, and an array of deadly traps pointing at the entrance.
He figured out easily that the circle was a teleportation device. As for the chest, he couldn't see its real color and rank, as it was shining with a red light.
'What do you think Asna? Should we go for it or keep hunting?'
'Well, I think you should go for it since your judge mentioned that there might be scrolls taking you to open chests.'
'Indeed, the only issue I am worried about is the rank of the chest. I don't want to get baited.'
'Just do it! It's fun, cough, I mean it's important for your victory.'
Felix didn't bother replying to her anymore. He was stupid in the first place to even ask for her opinion. She clearly just wanted to have fun, not caring about the results of the game or wager.
He knew for a fact that she might even propose to activate the teleportation circle just to fulfill her curiosity.
'Screw it, I can afford to take risks with my points.'
Focused, he narrowed his eyes at the area in front of the hidden compartment. He advanced step by step with heightened senses, not daring to underestimate the traps in front of him. He didn't know which one of those images and words ahead of him was the key to the compartment or the traps.
He stopped before two calligraphic sentences, emitting an aura of mystery and beauty. He believed that the current key was one of them or both, as they were exactly in the middle of the compartment door.
Delighted, his eyes brightened up as he noticed that they were riddles. It was time for him to work his long lost magic.
"What you seek is within a peak. But peek underneath your feet, to obtain what you seek." His eyes focused on the 2nd riddle, "A broken vase, especially its base, must be displaced, to reach another space."
Felix rested his chin on his hand and chuckled after reading the two riddles. Without burning too many brain cells, Felix knew what those riddles meant easily. After all, he was looking at the hidden compartment right behind those riddles.
That facilitated the mystery of the riddles to null. If it was another one, they would take a few minutes to comprehend its meaning. After all, those two riddles were not the only ones on the walls, but just one of the millions of inscriptions on the walls and the floor.
Their sheer amount would render anyone helpless in connecting the riddles to each other. If it wasn't for so, Battalion and Disgraced wouldn't have spent so much time staring at it.
With an amused expression, he inspected under his feet, expecting to find the real key to the door. Just as he assumed, three broken vases into random pieces each with their own color, greeted his eyes.
'Hm, Yellow, Red, and Milky white.'
He crouched next to them and examined each one thoroughly. 'So this was the reason for their argument before.'
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at their low IQ. Wasn't the true answer as clear as day? Felix didn't even take a second before he figured out that the milky white vase was the true key to the compartment. He easily concluded so from the 2nd riddle.
Felix interpreted it as such. To use the teleportation circle, one first must piece together one of the jigsaws. This was the first and also the easiest interpretation. Battalion and Disgraced probably figured as much. However, the real hidden interpretation was on the last phrase. 'To reach another space.'
This clearly implied that a teleportation circle was within the wall. If battalion and disgraced dug deeper into this phrase, they would have figured out eventually that there was a connection between one of the jigsaw vases and the teleportation circle.
The color!!
The Teleportation circle was famously known for having a milky white color, just like the only vase that had this color. Yet, those buffoons kept arguing about the other two, totally ignoring the real key.
'Yes, jigsaw puzzle! Let me solve it for you!'
Eager, Asna stood up on her bed, not caring about her exposed enchanting body. She squinted in focus at the jigsaw and memorized each piece's position. She then closed her eyes and sat back in the bed.
She wanted to solve it in her mind first, before retelling it to Felix. She wasn't worried about her memory failing her. A being with high status in the universe like her enjoyed a lot of perks, and absolute memory was just one of them.
Few minutes passed in utter silence, as Felix kept switching positions of pieces with his fingers. Some were big and easily noticeable, while some had the size of a coin. Plus, with the milky white color of the vase, the puzzle wasn't getting any easier.
Regardless of its difficulty, Felix always had a nostalgic smile on his face as he kept trying to solve it. He heard what Asna had said, and understood that he could just chill and let her do it for him. But why would he do so?
He wasn't braindead not to try his best to solve it solo. In this life, he might hate puzzle type games due to their many variables affecting his victory. But it wasn't like he hated the puzzles themselves. In fact, he loved them dearly.
No one could understand his relationship with puzzles and riddles.
In his previous life, puzzles and external additions in games were his two favorites, as even him a trash player with a garbage bloodline could topple over veterans and clinch the championship if he played his cards right.
That's what he feared would happen in this life now, for total trash to secure the win under his nose.
It was fun when he did it. But, it was not cute anymore when the affected was him.
"Done! 6 minutes? It seems like I got rusty."
Satisfied yet somewhat unhappy, He pieced the last one inside a tight fit part of the vase's base. Immediately after it got attached, the vase shone with a milky white light and suddenly projected a beam of it on the two riddles, lighten them up.
Felix took five steps back and raised his guard up, expecting traps inside the wall to propel everything into his previous spot.
This was the 2nd hurdle. If one believed that by solving the jigsaw, the door would open to riches. Then he could only get turned into a porcupine by the salvo of arrows, bullets, spears...
Ka-Thump!
Felix heightened his senses even further after seeing the traps heating up, preparing to strike behind the wide-open entrance.
'Praise me, Felix! Or else I won't tell you how to so.lv....it'
Asna's smugness died down gradually as her eyes widen at the barrage of traps, landing on the jigsaw, yet, what shocked her was not that, but the fact that it was shining with a white luster, displaying its beauty in a complete one piece.
'Oh you are still on that? Good job Asna, you did well.'
Nonchalant, Felix advanced forward, unworried anymore about the traps. The heat they were emitting before died down. In other words, their energy core had run out of juice.
Asna didn't respond to his praise. She simply laid on her bed with a deadpan expression and covered herself with bedsheets from top to bottom.
His praise kept repeating in her mind, and each time it sounded more sarcastic and jeering. She couldn't understand how Felix outed her in a puzzle.
He never showed before a single interest in puzzles or riddles. In fact, the only time he spoke about them was when he found out he lucked out on this game.
Her mind began to get confused and messy about this messed up situation.
'I can't take it anymore! I need to find out!!!'
She disconnected their connection and dove deep within his memories, trying to see what caused this abnormality.
'Not here, not this year, eww! How can he touch himself like that?'
Disgusted, she bypassed those teenager days and jumped straight into his childhood years. As she stopped and submerged herself into those memories, she heard a stern voice scolding young Felix.
"You little shit; you will be the death of me! I told you to pee on Benjamin's shoes, not his mouth during his nap!! F*ck, now he ratted on me in the pub. How could I face everyone in it?!"
"But I wanted to try my best and please you." Young Felix sulked while giving Robert puppy eyes.
"Stop giving that angelic face!! You won't escape from punishment, no matter what."
Sniffle Sniffle
"Sigh, alright stop crying, It's was my fault in the first place."
"I am not punished anymore?"
"Heh, nice try." Robert ruffled his hair and ordered, "You are grounded for 15 days in your room. Go!"
Just as young Felix tried to cry again, Robert shooed him away. He knew his heart would turn soft if he saw it again.
'Tsk, it's getting harder and harder to appease grandpa.'
Annoyed, young Felix wiped his fake tears and went to his room, locking himself inside, all alone. He trod towards a door that had a sign written on it >Games Room<
"At least I still have my babies to accompany me." Gratified, he opened the room with a smile, exposing the content to Asna.
'What the hell am I seeing?!!' Asna instantly gaped at its interior, not knowing how to express her disbelief.


Felix Maxwell was destined to be a loser, born on one of the weakest races and on the least favorable of situations, he was forced to face adversity head-on as he traveled across the vast universe where dangers laid in every corner, one day traveling in hopes of riches he stumbled upon a ruin where a supreme being laid imprisoned, in a stroke of bad luck the being laid its eyes on him and tried to take over his body, forcing itself upon him.
