Chapter 1483: Chapter 476: Life Has Never Been a Game_2

"As long as you fail a certain number of times, you’ll become part of the game, becoming an NPC. I’ve said before, Lu Mingxuan, your ability matches mine well. I can gamify the world."

"This gamification will invade reality."

"And you, you can turn people in reality into people in the game in a true sense. We’re a great combination, before I convinced my brother to cooperate with me, we were almost the best partners."

"People die, and they might betray you... this is the apocalypse. Who knows, they might turn into monsters."

"Want to bring them all into the game?"

[Agree/Refuse.]

The previous experiences made Wen Xishu feel that the choices in this game were redundant. But he had to choose to refuse.

Lu Mingxuan actually wanted to refuse too, because he just turned himself into a game... but he wanted the people around him to be living people.

Interestingly though, Scorpio actually nodded:

"Alright, even though you didn’t cooperate with me, you did manage well. When you see yourself as a game, you seem to play pretty well."

"I like people who play games seriously. I’ll give you a little reward, then."

Despite Scorpio’s clear purpose, he wanted Lu Mingxuan’s ability—the ability to make those who fail in the game become part of the game.

This ability can be said to be an extremely important part of Scorpio’s world conquest.

But Scorpio didn’t force Lu Mingxuan; instead, even if the cooperation didn’t happen, he still enhanced Lu Mingxuan’s game-creating ability. He was simply too good to Lu Mingxuan.

Perhaps due to some deeper calculation, or maybe Lu Mingxuan gave Scorpio a sense of camaraderie, like having similar experiences.

In any case, every time Scorpio found him, Lu Mingxuan’s ability would grow, manifested in more information in his vision and more options in interactions with people.

Additionally, there was now a skill proficiency system. This allowed Lu Mingxuan to increase operation intensity through repeating certain actions.

Scorpio would come several times, only to persuade, but never forced Lu Mingxuan to do anything.

This indeed surprised Wen Xishu.

However...

As Lu Mingxuan’s team grew more robust, Lu Mingxuan finally caught the attention of some people.

Wen Xishu also finally awaited the part he was waiting for.

The next Chapter of the game no longer titled by Lu Mingxuan’s age, but by three unsettling characters—

The Great Cataclysm.

It seems all online games like to create a great cataclysm.

Lu Mingxuan, who had become the game, also experienced a great cataclysm.

This great cataclysm was brainwashing.

At some point, someone in Lu Mingxuan’s team began to betray him and leave his team.

Wen Xishu manipulated Lu Mingxuan to investigate, but was quickly blocked by the fog of the map.

As several dangerous skull icons appeared on the mini-map, he had to manipulate Lu Mingxuan to return.

And soon after, he got a game clue, those who left the team and betrayed Lu Mingxuan suddenly appeared on the outskirts of Lu Mingxuan’s team.

Their power was significantly amplified.

It’s as if they underwent some kind of simple and brutal grafting, gaining parts of a monster’s body—like arms, like fangs.

"Only by becoming strong can we survive the apocalypse! Hiding somewhere safe is always the worst strategy!"

"Lu Mingxuan, though you always manage to find us safe places, do you really think in this apocalypse, there is still a place humans can inhabit?"

"Only by becoming strong enough! Can we survive in this world, come with us, leave Lu Mingxuan, he can’t give us power, haven’t you tired of living like rats?"

These words logically shouldn’t shake the foundation. Because Lu Mingxuan indeed saved many people.

He became the best player of his own game.

He played this game well, he saved many people, and time and again he proved he could lead everyone to survival.

But still, there were always a few people every day, suddenly changing their minds, deciding to leave Lu Mingxuan and head elsewhere.

Not long after, these people would return, using new bodies with monster parts to call out.

Wen Xishu immediately realized...

Someone is modifying their bodies, while someone else is changing their consciousness.

More and more people, who not long ago were determined to follow Lu Mingxuan, suddenly changed their minds and began leaving Lu Mingxuan.

The team that took years to build began to fall apart.

At this moment, Wen Xishu could feel the controller trembling, as if Lu Mingxuan was agonizing over the fragmentation of the team.

Wen Xishu controlled Lu Mingxuan, striving to retain each person.

The game’s art style noticeably became bizarre.

As Lu Mingxuan spoke to everyone, it was as if a virus had been implanted in them, they started mocking and jeering at him.

Then leaving Lu Mingxuan.

The team of hundreds, painstakingly managed for years, was like a rotting corpse, disintegrating little by little, and stinking bit by bit.

When only a few core members were left, the entire team resembled a cadaver showing its skeleton.

Lu Mingxuan couldn’t understand why everyone would leave him.

And soon after, he received news that those who left him faced many battles in the terrifying Deep City.

The people he once saved began dying one by one.
