Online, a post titled "Thanking the Fire Thief for Letting
Leave Peacefully" was rapidly gaining popularity.
"These years battling cancer have drained my family's finances. Not only have I burdened my family, but I've also suffered trendously from cancer pain. I've thought about jumping from the window to end it all several tis, but never had the courage... Now I can just fall asleep and end everything peacefully, which is the best outco for . Thank you to the Fire Thief and the arrival of the Doomsday Rules."
The post already had tens of thousands of replies below it. So were cursing, so were sympathetic, and so were planning to follow the sa path.
"If you want to die, just go ahead! Why thank the Fire Thief? That's a devil who's killed countless people!"
"The poster's mindset deserves their suffering."
"Have you considered that while you're freeing yourself, what about other originally healthy people?"
"Sigh... may the poster rest in peace."
"Everyone, please understand. The poster's thoughts only represent themselves, not everyone."
"Poster, I don't know if you're still here? I want to say I'm making the sa choice as you. I suffer from severe depression and also lacked the courage to end things myself... but now falling asleep to end it is really convenient. I plan to have a good dinner tonight, tidy my room, curl up in bed to watch a favorite movie, and when I get sleepy, close my eyes and sleep, properly saying goodbye to this world."
"If everyone thought like you, just falling asleep to end it, humanity would go completely extinct."
"That damned Fire Thief! Can't it just let those who want to die go die, and let us who want to live survive!"
"Anyway, I absolutely won't admit defeat! I'm going to fight the Fire Thief to the death!"
The Fire Thief and the rules it brought undoubtedly gave many pessimistic and world-weary people a peaceful, painless way to bid farewell to the world.
But opponents still constituted the majority, and such pessimistic posts weren't particularly nurous either.
What more people online were participating in discussions were posts related to how to survive these 72 hours. Many of these discussion threads had reply counts reaching hundreds of thousands - truly a case of "when the Eight Immortals cross the sea, each reveals their divine powers."
One post titled "Gaming Session! Mom Won't Scold
for Staying Up Late Gaming Anymore" had sparked over a hundred thousand replies.
"Brothers, how are you planning to endure these 72 hours? I'm planning to ga nonstop with my dorm buddies for 72 hours straight, playing until the end of ti, until the Great Path is worn away!"
Most replies below maintained the sa sentint.
"I plan to rely on gaming too, sa as you. But I play single-player gas, planning to complete a major title. I never had ti to play before because of work, but now I have the ti - just don't know if I'll survive to finish playing."
"Just gaming alone doesn't feel like it'll be enough for . I plan to ga while passionately arguing with people for 72 hours straight, keeping the pressure maxed out! Any brothers want to join? Leave a comnt to sign up!"
"Recomnding a ga for you all: Civilization. One cup of tea, one pack of cigarettes, one ga of Civilization lasting a whole day. Maybe after 72 hours, you'll still feel unsatisfied and want just one more turn."
Another post by a user called "I Am a Good Man" also had over a hundred thousand replies, with the title "The Simplest thod to Stay Awake, n Only, Won Don't Enter."
Once this post appeared, the reply count skyrocketed almost imdiately, breaking ten thousand faster than a rocket.
"Is the poster trying to defy heaven? Such a serious life-and-death topic, and you're talking about... self-guidance here?"
"One glance confirms it - certified that the poster has been suppressing himself."
"The root of all problems relates to suppression, and the solution to all problems uses self-guidance to answer."
"I've attained enlightennt! ntor above, please accept my bow!"
"Tested and works! Thank you poster for sharing the secret!"
"I'm speechless, so many people in the comnts actually praising this? Anyone with a bit of experience knows you get tired after finishing, right?"
"Upstairs comnt
1, a bunch of newbies in this post who don't understand anything. Sotis when I can't sleep, I rely on guidance, and after guiding I quickly get sleepy and fall asleep. If you really do what the poster suggests, it's equivalent to suicide."
Not long after the post was published, the original poster added a supplent in the comnts.
I Am a Good Man: "Apologies, I didn't make myself clear in the main post, causing so fellow guides to misunderstand. As long as you control yourself not to produce goods, you can maintain an alert state. As for how to control it, this good man suggests that when guiding, don't use external aids like videos, audio, pictures, text, etc. Pure green guidance."
"？？？？？"
"Poster, you're truly invincible!"
"So the secret lies in green guidance! ntor Good Man, I've attained enlightennt again!"

Fang Qian saw these strange ideas and felt too embarrassed to share them with Guan Tong.
But soon she ca across a post on the rankings that made her eyes light up.
"Guan Tong, do you know Wenren Yizhi?"
The na "Wenren Yizhi" was very unique - anyone who saw it once would rember it quite distinctly.
Guan Tong thought for a mont and said: "I think I've seen her in the news. Is she that world Go champion who started learning Go at age 3 and broke the record for youngest champion last year?"
"Mm!" Fang Qian showed Guan Tong the post on her phone. "Look, she's launched a 72-hour Go marathon challenge!"
"Really?"
Guan Tong was also sowhat surprised. After glancing at the post content, it turned out to be true.
"Breaking News! Genius Go champion Wenren Yizhi has launched a 72-hour Go marathon challenge on her only social dia account, will conduct matches through live streaming, and multiple professional Go players have already signed up!"
In the comnts section below the post, nurous netizens were expressing their worship.
"72-hour Go marathon? This is playing with life!"
"Isn't Go sothing that consus a lot of ntal energy... playing for 72 hours straight, even a champion couldn't handle that, right?"
"Is this the rhythm of martyrdom?!"
"Upstairs comnt, get lost! Don't jinx it! Sister Yizhi will definitely persevere!"
"Truly worthy of Great God Wenren! I'm going to the live stream and watching all 72 hours with her!"
"This is really a bit unbelievable... if Wenren Yizhi can really live stream playing Go for 72 hours straight, she'll be acknowledged as the God of Go from now on, okay."
After reading a few comnts, Guan Tong noticed Fang Qian's excited expression and asked her: "Do you really like Wenren Yizhi?"
"Mm! I really admire her focused attitude toward Go and have always used her achievents to motivate myself. But, I'm also a bit worried... Go is so exhausting, and she wants to play for that long, is it really okay?"
"This seems incredibly tiring for us to think about, but for her it might not be that exhausting," Guan Tong said.
"Just like when people imrse themselves in sothing they love, they don't feel ti passing. I think for her, Go is like that... If she weren't allowed to play Go, she might actually struggle to stay awake this long."
"That makes sense!" Fang Qian's eyes widened. "Then we should also do things like that, right!"
"Yeah. What things do you enjoy doing?"
"I..." Fang Qian thought for a mont. "I really like watching TV dramas! Especially detective and mystery types. Last sumr vacation, I think I watched continuously from morning to night one day, finishing a 20
episode cri investigation drama in one go!"
"Is that so. Then I'll turn on the TV and find a drama of that type to watch."
Fang Qian quickly waved her hands: "No need, no need, not right now. I'm not sleepy yet, we can wait until evening. What about you, Guan Tong, what do you like to do?"
"I'll just read books, read novels."
Guan Tong rembered when he was most obsessed with novels before, he would also read for a full day and night straight - this was undoubtedly one way to fight sleepiness.
"Buzz buzz!"
"Ding dong!"
At that mont, both their phones emitted notification sounds - another ssage officially released.
[Ergency Notice: Starting now, going outside freely is prohibited. Everyone please remain in safe indoor locations, maintain peaceful moods with those sharing your space, and do not argue or fight due to emotional excitent.]
Seeing this notice, Guan Tong's eyes changed slightly as he thought of sothing.
He imdiately went online to search for the keywords "Doomsday Rules"
"Alertness Mint," but the results returned were actually "None." Not even so interference information - purely "no results."
Guan Tong couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart... It seed that Hidden Rule was real, and official departnts had already discovered its existence, imdiately implenting information blockade online.
