["Tosolius, Tosolius."]
["The Supre Lord of world creation, the shepherd of fate and causality, the ruler of joy and sorrow!"]
["People revered you as the Supre God, offering flowers, crafting statues, and singing hymns for you."]
["—But what have you done?"]
["You silenced the nightingale on the branch with poison, destroyed the woodland where butterflies rest, extinguished the night—why not give them the peace of ’creation,’ why not grant them the power to ’shoot’?"]
["Everyone is crafting their own code to construct a just, free, and prosperous society, seeking roots with a seeking attitude, discussing the aning of love and soul."]
["Creative humans ascend in the sequence of words, constantly sketching and mapping the clues they’ve buried, yet are inevitably killed by the gun appearing in the first act."]
["—We are human. So I will protect everyone’s ’gun.’"]
["This is the last ti I will calmly communicate with you, Tosolius."]
["My ears cannot hear fairy tales, I only want reality. I cannot accept naive romantic idealism, as it will lead us to perish in self-deception."]
["Stop here, don’t gaze at those nightingales and butterflies any longer."]
["Return the gun to them, let them achieve peace and creativity in the code."]
["I will also turn and leave, no longer repeating the aforentioned conversation with you... if possible."]
["..."]
["But."]
["—The story will still start over."]
[—"Tosolius·The God’s Lant for Humans·Volu Five"]
...
Next to the coffee table, Su Ming’an sat in front of the woman.
Heat swirled, the aroma of coffee diffused.
The woman smiled with curved brows, her rose-colored curly long hair flowing over her shoulders, her deep eyes gazing at Su Ming’an.
The scratching sound of paper slipping against the table arose, and the woman slowly handed over the Black Card.
Words as thick as blood were embedded on the Black Card, each word striking:
[With the world as an arena, with real beings as life bars—]
[Multiplayer online, infinite instances! Simulated world, combat power clash!]
[Global players, fierce competition! High-level ga, waiting for you to play!]
...
Su Ming’an lowered his gaze.
According to reason, this was a performance arranged by Pudding for him, to solidify his persona as a "student invited to enter the Ga Day." This woman was also an actress hired by Pudding. However, he always felt sothing was amiss.
"...Can I say ’not interested’?" Su Ming’an pinched the Black Card between two fingers.
The woman curved her brows, her well-grood dark brows showing no trace of negative emotion: "Of course, even if you fling the Black Card at and then turn and leave, that is your choice."
Su Ming’an leaned back, still holding the Black Card between two fingers.
"The Ga Day invitation..." He looked at the Black Card again, placing it into his pocket: "I agree with you, a real person ga, right? I’m very interested."
He made a choice completely different from the initial one.
The woman nodded with a smile, stood up, and the wind moved the wind chi by the window, ringing a crisp sound.
"Ding dong—ding dong—ding dong—"
The woman reached out her hand, it was pale and clean.
"Our real person ga will start at midnight tonight. You have fifteen minutes to prepare," the woman said with a smile, "As a reward for accepting the invitation, this is your newbie bonus."
When Su Ming’an shook hands with her, he felt sothing in his palm. When he looked, it was... a white seed.
...
"Ding!"
[You have obtained "Space-Ti Summoning Ticket" *1!]
[Space-Ti Summoning Ticket]
[Type: Card drawing prop]
[Note: Can be used for drawing cards in the "Old Matters As New" permanent card pool and the limited card pool.]
...
This was the first ti Su Ming’an saw the specific form of the Space-Ti Summoning Ticket. It wasn’t a ticket or a voucher, but a pure white seed.
When he looked up, the woman had already left, and the coffee shop was empty.
Just then, Pudding jogged in from the door: "Liujin, I’m here. You arrived really early."
A strange woman followed behind Pudding.
"Alright, go act." Pudding patted the woman. The woman sat across from Su Ming’an, took out a Black Card slightly nervously, and said to Su Ming’an:
"Mr. Su, we would like to invite you to participate in a real person ga."
Su Ming’an quickly realized what was happening.
—This was the role-playing setting arranged by Pudding only now. The woman with rose-colored long hair just now... was not arranged by Pudding.
"Wait, who was that woman just now?" Su Ming’an interrupted the performance.
Pudding was taken aback: "What?"
Su Ming’an took out the Black Card with [Multiplayer online, infinite instances] written on it, and handed it to Pudding: "Just now, a woman with rose-colored long hair handed this invitation ahead of you."
Pudding hesitantly took the Black Card, looked at it for a mont, and said: "All the invitation letters for Ga Day are supposed to read: [We sit in Hell and hold the Bible, deluding ourselves that we can change fate with killing...]. This invitation letter is clearly not standard and should be fake. Could it be a creator from nearby building a [Lezi Person] persona, deliberately coming to fool you?"
Su Ming’an did not think this was a prank. He now had two [Ga Day] invitations. One was the special invitation given to him by the woman with rose-colored long hair, [Multiplayer online, infinite instances...]. The other was the standard invitation given by Pudding, [We sit in Hell and hold the Bible...].
"Don’t think too much, just assu that the woman just now was a fraud for now." Pudding said: "Finish acting this scene first."
Su Ming’an temporarily suppressed his doubts.
He completed the scene with the actor. This ti, he reenacted his original choice, flinging the Black Card back, rejecting the woman’s offer.
As he stood at the coffee shop’s entrance, he heard the system prompt:
...
"Ding!"
[You have obtained mory Clip·"You Have a Bright Future"]
[Excitent Level: B ]
[Thrill Level: D]
[Depth: SS]
[Elents: Long-Line Clues, Return of the Strong, Spiritual Energy Revival, Apocalypse]
[Overall Score: 32]
...
[You have enriched your persona, upgraded to [Student·Level 2]!]
...
Pudding’s thod indeed proved effective—simply recreating the experiences Su Ming’an walked through from beginning to end served as a relatively complete story. This was the simplest and most stable way to farm mory Clips.
Su Ming’an placed this clip on the seventh page of the book:
...
[After Liujin bid farewell to the person with golden eyes, he suddenly felt thirsty and walked into a street-side coffee shop.]
[In the coffee shop, there was only one woman. She gestured for Liujin to sit opposite her and smiled as she asked about his interest in a true person ga.]
[Liujin was not interested in showing his face, so he refused the woman and turned to leave.]
["Do you know what kind of road you are heading on after leaving?" A laughing voice ca from behind:]
["You will co back..."]
...
[Your story: 2139 words.]
[Since your story has reached 2000 words, the first Chapter will be separated out. Please na the first Chapter.]
[(Please note, the ’golden three Chapters’ of a story are particularly important, so be sure to pay attention to the Chapter na and content.)]
...
"Finished the first Chapter..." Su Ming’an opened the book and read through the 2000-word story he had created.
Although the plot seed a bit rushed, with so parts lacking in beginning and end, it was compact and the conflict was clear, often switching maps from the Red Tower to the World Tree, then to the Eternal Sea, and finally to Samantri University.
The protagonist begins by waking up from a nightmare, fleeing along the way, witnessing the rich landscapes and cultural sentints of the otherworld, eting the first supporting male character Lu, and the female protagonist Pudding, finally encountering the woman in the coffee shop, refusing her invitation.
The first Chapter ends here, with clues, suspense, and hooks, a good start.
Su Ming’an knew he was not good at nas, so he looked directly at the barrage.
The barrage was flooding crazily, eager for him to notice it:
[Quick! Quick, help the Sect Hierarch think of a Chapter na!]
[Wow, this instance is interesting, the sense of imrsion is strong.]
[I’ve wandered through various live broadcast rooms, everyone’s stories are so interesting... especially the top players on the lists, everyone’s story direction is intriguing. So are bloody and adventurous, so are about daily farming, so are supernatural and terrifying, and so are romantic and warm... ]
[White Hair Brother, stop thinking about Yueyue Yamada’s taste in reading, look at sothing good.]
[How about "Chapter One: The Fallen Lighthouse Jellyfish"?]
[No no no, it should be "Chapter One: The Exiled Lighthouse Jellyfish!"]
[I think it could be called "Chapter One: The Charm Maxed Crossed Over to Beco Popular in Luowasha"]
[... Popular? Physically popular, right.]
[Might as well call it "Chapter One: After Waking Up, All the Big Shots Scramble to Beco My Supporting Role"... ]
[...]
Su Ming’an was almost dizzy from the barrage. The audience was sending ssages too fast, so even posted a series of "1111" just to get him to see them even for a millisecond.
The audience’s suggested Chapter nas were all quite good, but Su Ming’an always felt they were not quite fitting for his first Chapter. He wanted a more suitable Chapter na.
Suddenly, he saw the na of the seventh mory Clip, and a flash of inspiration ca to him.
... That’s right, isn’t there a ready-made na here? This na can be used as a Chapter title.
"This Chapter na should be good." Su Ming’an wrote down the title, "It looks impressive and has deep aning."
When he finished writing the title, the first Chapter of this story was finally completely generated:
...
[Chapter One: "You Will Have a Bright and Glorious Future."]
...
The book shimred with golden light, as if silent trumpets were congratulating the Creator’s achievent, marking a new step in composing the beginning of a weighty journey.
Su Ming’an already decided that the second Chapter would focus on Ga Day content and include parts for Su Rin, Pudding, and others.
He closed the book and glanced at the promotion conditions:
...
[Your Creator Level: Level D Creator]
[Requirents to advance to Level C:]
[1. First climax point appears.]
[2. First death occurs.]
[3. Character settings promoted to third level.]
[(After advancing to Level C, you will unlock new functions "Creating Supporting Character" and "Card Participation," which can help you write better stories.)]
...
Then, he took out a Summoning Ticket and began the exciting and nerve-wracking card drawing session.
...
"Ding dong!"
[The card drawing function is now open!]
[Greetings, Creator, I am the God of Covenant, Nalandos. Whenever you obtain a "Space-Ti Summoning Ticket," you can ask to summon cards for you. The summoned cards will beco your companions, accompanying you on your adventure!]
[There are two types of card pools—permanent card pool and limited-ti card pool. The permanent card pool is open permanently. Limited-ti card pools will include so card roles not available in the permanent card pool.]
...
[Today is April 3rd, 182 of Genesis, and the current limited-ti card pool is:]
["Sea Emperor’s Arrival" Limited-Ti Card Pool: (Open ti: April 3rd, 182 of Genesis 00:00 - April 5th 00:00)]
[This card pool contains [SSR · Sea Emperor · Lu], [SR · Undersea rmaid Mage · Posa], [SR · Eternal Sea Siren · Luoshasha] and other limited cards, which cannot be drawn in the permanent card pool.]
...
["Olivius Pursuer" Limited-Ti Card Pool: (Open ti: April 3rd, 182 of Genesis 00:00 - April 5th 00:00)]
[This card pool contains [SSR · Luowasha’s Despicable One · Sique], [SR · Fun Demon’s Cloning · Kasadia No. 2], [SR · Elf King Phantom · Huan Jiala], [SR · Dragon Emperor Phantom · Ian], [SR · Blood Prince Phantom · Xi Ge], [SR · Insect General · Magi], [SR · Lord of the Undead · Xi Ting] and other limited cards, which cannot be drawn in the permanent card pool.]
...
Su Ming’an widened his eyes.
The "Sea Emperor’s Arrival" limited-ti card pool clearly appeared when Lu beca Sea Emperor. It seems that every ti a key plot is triggered, a new limited-ti card pool will open.
He wasn’t very interested in the "Sea Emperor’s Arrival" card pool, but he was very excited about the "Olivius Pursuer" card pool. It seems that Olivius had offended too many people, with a dense cluster of SR cards, and the SSR card was actually Sique Olivius himself, that deranged person laughing maniacally. If he could draw Sique...
Could it happen with a single draw?
Su Ming’an threw the white seed in his hand into the World Tree on the card drawing interface—
...
"Swish!"
The light flickered.
Su Ming’an squinted his eyes, expectantly looking at the space in front of him.
As the light flickered, a figure gradually appeared.
When the smoke dissipated, a black-haired black-eyed youth walked out.
The youth wore a top hat, a pair of golden glasses, dressed in attire resembling a Zhongshan suit, with loose trousers below, sleeves embroidered with simple yet intricate designs, paired with cloth shoes embroidered with white daisies.
Upon seeing Su Ming’an, the youth took off the top hat with one hand, rested a dragon-headed redwood cane, and slightly bowed his head, the wooden beads hanging around his neck gently swaying, producing a hoarse clashing sound.
"... Lord."
