The sky was gloomy and cloudy, and the clouds were as heavy as lead. Wet and sticky raindrops smashed against the glass, slowly creeping downward.

At six o'clock in the morning, Su Shu stayed awake all night.

After a full night, the black-haired young man with dizzy eyebrows and eyes finally got through the perfect ending of the game.

However, the words that appeared on the screen in front of him made him speechless for a while.

"You've all survived, but is it all worth it?"

Su Shu:¿

Looking at the yin and yang weirdness on the screen.

The black-haired young man sitting in front of the computer only felt that an evil fire was constantly spilling out in his head.

Mystic Age: Blood Moon.

This is a newly released、Crazy difficulty simulation survival management game。

As a Archon, you'll need to lead the remnants of the survivors through the medieval towns plagued by the Blood Moon to defend against evil attacks and various plagues, and try to keep the people alive until rescue arrives.

In between, players can set various policies to arrange for residents to work, produce, upgrade characters, and recruit warbands to explore the caves in order to collect various survival resources.

At the same time, the player himself, as an archon, is also a unit that can be manipulated, and if he uses micro-manipulation well, his combat effectiveness is quite considerable - it is equivalent to giving away an initial five-star character.

It's just that...... In such a dangerous worldview.

The inhabitants will be attacked by monsters at every turn, suffer mental pollution, and then either be injured and killed, or aberrant beasts, and it is extremely easy to attrition.

The difficulty of the game's opening is not yet adjustable, and it is very hardcore.

Every now and then, there will be strange invasions, all kinds of cult believers will wander around, and plague pollution will be raging everywhere.

And the aristocracy not only does not produce, but also breeds complaints if they are not taken care of well, which greatly shakes the hearts of the people.

Therefore, if you want to play a perfect ending for all members to survive, without the guidance of the strategy, it is almost impossible to call it a fantasy.

But...... Unfortunately -

Who made Su Shu a P Club player who is keen on love and peace?

As an obsessive-compulsive all-collectible platinum, the more difficult the game he is interested in, the more he likes to push the limits.

So, after an all-night all-night liver burst.

Su Shu studied all kinds of values, policy trees, battle systems, and triggers of various events, unscrupulously established a stable order, hung the waste nobles on the street lamp, and launched an autocratic rule that was denounced as a tyrant by the upper echelons-

He arranged every decree in an orderly manner, personally went to the cave to explore, crusade against evil spirits, and when the pollution was high, he would knock on the rational medicine and suppress it.

He squeezed almost every ounce of the consul's performance, as if burned out, hanging on the brink of losing control, so that the townspeople under his command finally persevered to the rescue of the Holy See.

Finally, on the settlement screen.

Su Shu successfully harvested the yin and yang weirdness of the production team.

"The town is safe and sound, and the people are all alive...... But you've definitely broken some kind of bottom line."

"The inhabitants are spitting on you, and morality is lost under your rule."

"Is it all worth it?"

Su Shu's methods include, but are not limited to: hanging the nobles on street lamps for public trial, establishing tyrant autocracy, employing child labor, using worship and faith to stabilize the people's minds, arresting evil spirits and canning them to generate electricity, using monster meat as temporary rations, and requiring residents to work under the tide of beasts......

Maybe the production team also thinks that he is a little too extreme.

As a result, this was judged by the system to be "out of bounds".

Su Shu: "...... Tut. ”

As a P Club player, his moral bottom line is indeed very flexible.

But, you're so sick, aren't you?!

It's all apocalyptic, and you're still talking to me to emphasize aristocratic privileges and the eight-hour workday?!

I set off a revolution, stepped up production, actively saved myself, avoided the tragedy of people eating each other, tried my best to make all the residents have enough to eat, the epidemic was cured, and led everyone to work together to win the hope of survival!

Who are you to question my morals?

"Is it all worth it?"

The black-haired young man who stared at these words took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and felt more and more sad about the current pathology of the game industry.

Because...... Always.

In today's era, games are often more than just a "game".

It's more like a tool that has evolved into a kind of cultural export.

In order to show that he is "correct", he must make a beautiful girl an aunt, and he must add a black man to his own good game.

The old father was tortured and killed in front of him, and his head was used as a golf ball whip corpse, and the protagonist manipulated by the player must forcibly choose to forgive the father-killing enemy in the ending......

I don't care about you!

Your gameplay is brilliant, your art is exquisite, and your dazzling settings are exquisite...... That's right, these are good, all good.

But, as a pure player, is it so difficult not to be fed by private goods, but just to settle down and enjoy the fun of playing?

As a veteran connoisseur, Su Shu opened the interface of the steam platform and wrote a very aggressive long review of "Mysterious Era", which refuted the torture of the production team standing on the moral high ground with reason, which was very ridiculous.

But, after a moment of silence.

Su Shu deleted all the content.

Only in the negative review area, two simple words were left:

"It's worth it."

Bad reviews are an indication of attitude.

And the word "worthy" is Su Shu's resounding answer to the questions thrown by the production team.

Is it all worth it?

Worth! It's fucking worth it!

Because I poured my feelings into it and did my best.

Because as a player and as a ruler, I am worthy of my heart.

Once you click the "Start Game" button, it's a journey of your own.

Therefore, the production team has no right to award me a medal!

The newly released "Mysterious Era" has been hotly discussed because of its excellent quality.

Many players who managed to get through the ending once left a good review in the comment area, praising its excellent production.

It is said that the most cutting-edge AI technology is used, and NPCs are not only vivid, but can even perform real-time interactive calculations based on the player's actions and conversations.

Su Shu browsed for a moment, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be giving the only bad review.

But, he knows it well.

In a few days, you will understand what the word "worthy" means.

At this moment, there are probably no other players who have played the ending of full survival.

A P Society war criminal like Su Shu, who is willing to explode his liver and still has the time and effort to study the game system, is a minority of the minority.

The vast majority of players, in fact, can't wait for the strategy homework to be fed to their mouths, and they have already contracted electronic impotence, or simply find a video cloud and treat it as if they have played it.

After all, playing games?

...... Yes? Aren't games meant to be bought?

Every discount season is: G fat! Shut up! Take my money!

But, huh...... If you buy it, you put it away, you just don't play it.

Buying the game is equivalent to owning it, and you are already happy and satisfied, so why play it yourself?

It doesn't matter, it's also great to buy it or not!

In Su Shu's own inventory, there are a bunch of 3A masterpieces that have never been opened, waiting for his favor in the cold palace.

It's not the player's fault that they don't have time to play.

Middle and high school students are busy with their studies, and as minors, they will be limited in their hours.

And in 996, the social animals who enjoy the blessing can touch the fish and start the ● God, and it is already the physiological limit to collect a dish in the mobile game.

After all, no matter how intense the upper single pair is, it can't compare to the intensity of the line with life......

Entertain to death, entertain to death.

What makes people feel that games, as one of the simplest and most rustic entertainments, seem to have become a sinful luxury in this era.

Su Shu sighed softly, clicked the mouse to confirm, and sent the short bad review to upload.

By the way, he paid special attention to the name of this emerging production team:

Is it called ...... "Key to the Door Studio"?

Very well, I remember you.

Bad reviews are bad reviews.

Mysterious Age, the studio's first game, has such a refined quality that, to be fair, is actually something to be encouraged.

So.

Su Shu is going to make a video next, to promote the other party's tap water, and point out the shortcomings in the handling of copywriting - such a blunt moral question, if it can be deleted, it will be a great good.

Just, until then.

Let's make up for sleep first, the soul is about to float away......

Su Shu glanced at the small mirror placed on the desk, his dark circles were so thick that they were about to surpass the national treasure.

In the mirror, the tired and tired face of the young man is reflected.

A few strands of fine black hair spread out on his forehead, cold eyes and deep black pupils, and he was quite melancholy if he didn't speak.

To put it simply: this guy looks okay, and there is a damn sense of substitution.

However, it is well known.

Staying up late to cultivate immortals is easy to be bald.

Su Shu raised his hairspray hand and slowly wiped his black broken hair like a rain palace lotus.

Looking at the few strands of hair falling out of his palm.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Damn, if you stay up late, you're going to have a golden pill on your head!

Su Shuma'er got up and prepared to roll off to catch up on sleep.

Unexpectedly, at this time......

"Dingdong ——!"

It's not that the system is awakened.

A new email prompt popped up on the screen, and he was pressed back into his engineering chair.

"You have a new email from the Key to the Door."

Ha?

Click directly on it——

"Dear Player 'Su Xiaochun': "

"Thank you for your evaluation of Mysteries Age: Blood Moon, and as the first player in the world to achieve the Platinum Trophy, we sincerely hope that you will be able to participate in the paid beta of Key to the Door's next next-generation product."

"Click here for details."

Under the email, there is also the contact information and official logo of the Key to the Door Studio:

Inside the layered doors, a pupilless eye peeking out was hidden in the mist.

Looking at this email.

Su Shu couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

It's so formal, it's not like fishing.

But, has it been half a minute since he uploaded a bad review?

It's still six o'clock in the morning......

Are you social animals in the industry rolled up like this?

High-intensity self-search every day, right?

A promotional URL was also attached to the email, and Su Shu clicked on the link and glanced at the explanation, and suddenly his interest rose, and even his sleepiness faded.

"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? I want to really ...... Tell your own story?"

"Come and experience Key to the Door: World and create your own game!"

"There's all the fun stuff behind the door, and you're the glittering key."

"Are you still going to be cold and shaky......"

complained about such a sentence.

Browsing the web, Su Shu quickly figured out what kind of new product the other party was inviting him to test.

To put it simply, following AI chatting, AI painting, and AI writing novels -

Balding programmers have finally extended their evil hands to the game industry, vainly trying to use AI models to produce games efficiently, and have developed a prototype version!

"Key to the Door: World" is an AI system that integrates a huge amount of resources and can automatically generate games.

There is even propaganda in the document, "Mysterious Era", which is automatically generated by AI!

Ha? Isn't this an artificial retardation but an artificial intelligence? Has the momentum of AI developed so rapidly today?

Su Shu took a look at the Key to the Door Studio and found that there seemed to be a large amount of capital injection from Penguin Dad behind it.

No wonder it's so rolled!

It turns out that behind it, there is a programmer brother who has been bald since the age of 35 and is enjoying good fortune every day......

So, it's not the production team that's mocking me, it's the AI that's angry at me?

Su Shu was a little happy.

Tut...... Then you can't get the flirtatment back?

Not to mention paid.

Even if he wants to buy an account with krypton, Su Shu, as a war criminal-level player, will never let go of such a rare opportunity.

With all kinds of curiosity.

He clicked on "Start Appointment".

*

Kingdom of Losric, town of Yanan.

The salty sea breeze blew through the small southern border town, and the long-lost bright sunlight pierced through the gray clouds and fell from the sky, dispelling the gloom of this land of calamity.

Dressed in a golden robe, the Holy See Saint stood in the middle of the town square, with blond hair and golden eyes, as if exuding a soft and holy light.

On either side of her, clergymen wearing emblems were anxiously hurrying back and forth to help the victims.

With the survey, purification, and arrangement of the enchantment of the affected area.

A well-illustrated report was soon handed over to the Holy Maiden.

"This time the blood moon has fallen, and all the pollution has been eliminated."

"All the residents of Yanan Town, a total of 1,742 people, including old and young women and children, all survived......"

"It doesn't make sense."

"You mean, there is a black-haired and black-eyed Donglu man who leads you to production, labor, and battle, and maintains order in the entire town?"

"Why do you want to listen to him?"

"Because he has a bizarre, contagious leadership? All kinds of administrative are familiar with the heart, and the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and personally lead the team to fight the evil? ”

"Sounds like at least a gold-level professional, enough to be a Templar in the Holy See......"

"What about others?"

"A man went to the depths of the cavern?"

Hearing this answer, the Holy See Lady was silent for a moment.

"Distorted limbs all over his body, and bloodshot eyes, were a precursor to the imminent loss of control...... He knew he didn't have much to live. ”

"With his strength, of course, he was able to escape safely in the Blood Moon Calamity, but he chose to stay......"

"You survived all thanks to him, but no one is grateful to him."

"Huh...... For as a stranger, he judged your mediocre lords, made you overwork, forced you to eat monster meat, and was so harsh and indifferent that he was disgusting? ”

“...... His methods are tyrannical, and he is simply full of evil? ”

"The Holy See has gone all the way south to the rescue," the Holy Maiden's cold voice rippled in the sea breeze, "In other towns, there is not one survivor in ten." ”

The words fell.

Only silence remains.

The dead silence was like ink dripping into clear water, smearing and spreading rapidly on the square—

The residents who were sincerely frightened had a little stunned expression.

"His brutality was deliberate."

"He must make you fear him, and if he fails to maintain absolute majesty and order, at least seventy percent of the people here will die."

"A tyrant who is on his way to death does not need useless mercy."

Daylight was silent in silence.

The townspeople who had been inquired about in the square left as if they had lost their souls.

Perched atop the tower at the top of Yanan, the most illustrious new saint of the Holy See of Truth overlooked the town at her feet, calculating all the numbers in her mind.

However...... The more she calculated, the more she felt dumbfounded and shocked.

"Under the blood moon, sheltering mortals is a luxury."

"Pollution, distortion, pestilence, evil ......"

"How the hell did you do it......"

The holy woman with her eyelids lowered slowly put down the report in her hand, and with golden eyes, she looked at the boundless ocean at the edge of the town.

Waves on the coastline, gently caressing the reef. The waves scattered inch by inch in the wordlessness.

"One, a savior full of evil."

"You saved everyone, but no one even knows your name."

She spoke softly, as if asking questions to the sea.

"Is it all worth it?"
