Zhou Yue's illusionary world.
"Su, Su..."

Zhou Yue's breathing quickened. He instinctively wanted to reach out and greet her, but was intercepted by the role-playing system.
Looking at the familiar scene, tears welled up in Zhou Yue's eyes.
After Li Ang's main body completed the fixed dialogue segment, just as Zhou Yue turned around to leave, his foot suddenly slipped.
"Holy shit... Which bastard threw a banana peel here..."
Just as Zhou Yue cursed inwardly, a crisp, girlish voice came from behind him:
"Are you... alright?"
Su Di'er grinned brightly, then suddenly blinked in confusion.
"Strange..."
"Why do I feel like I've known an unlucky guy like you before?"
...
...
As the players entered their second playthrough, more of the hidden traps Lu Ze had laid began to reveal themselves.
Every Su Di'er the players encountered would harbor a sense of familiar deja vu.
The plot of the illusionary world continued to progress along the original storyline, but there were subtle changes in some minor details.
For example, in Zhou Qiaoling's second playthrough, the little beggars obeyed Su Di'er's every command and shared a very good relationship with her;
Or, for instance, Li Moran's Su Di'er inherited the Ice Lotus Mark from the first playthrough. Her talent in the way of the sword was absurdly high, giving her a unique and unparalleled advantage in cultivation...
...
The special memories between the players and Su Di'er were preserved in these minute aspects, constantly tugging at their heartstrings.
All of this, naturally, was Lu Ze's handiwork.
He had prepared this plan as early as when the illusionary world was first released.
During a multi-playthrough game, Easter eggs regarding special memories would trigger upon their first meeting.
However, as the game's plot unfolded, these special Easter eggs would gradually decrease.
Otherwise, if the memories of two playthroughs were fully connected, the computing power of the illusionary world would struggle to maintain real-time changes in the plot.
But after Lu Ze acquired the skill "Myriad Spirit Bestowal," he seemed to have found a new way forward.
Lu Ze had already pretty much figured out the mechanics of this skill. Simply put, it was the ability to bestow sentience.
The method of bestowing sentience upon NPCs wasn't exactly rare.
For instance, Lu Ze could repeatedly harvest Lin Huan's cyber soul using the Cyber Myriad Soul Banner, and then modify it with spells to simulate the character of Su Di'er.
Putting aside the time required to do so, what if it were a different game or a different character, and he couldn't find a soul with a similar personality?
Create one from scratch?
The difficulty of that would be no less than the goddess Nuwa forging humanity out of clay.
"Myriad Spirit Bestowal" perfectly solved this problem.
Moreover, as long as one's strength was sufficient, they could even bestow the exact same level of sentience upon all NPCs!
At this moment, what Lu Ze was researching was how to use "Myriad Spirit Bestowal" to further upgrade the characters in the illusionary world, thereby causing the multi-playthrough world to undergo a sublimation.
"Done! This way, Su Di'er's soul can continue to upgrade..."
Lu Ze smiled as he looked at the increasingly exquisite wisp of cyber soul in front of him.
This was a new generation soul he had forged after a breakthrough using "Myriad Spirit Bestowal." Its ability to link with the previous playthrough had been vastly strengthened.
"Now, which lucky guy should I test this on?"
Lu Ze muttered to himself, rubbing his chin as his divine sense constantly drifted through countless illusionary worlds.
Eventually, he locked onto Li Moran's illusionary world.
Ever since the system upgrade, emotional fluctuations would yield extremely high Demonic Value returns.
The greater the fluctuation, the higher the return.
For someone like Li Moran, who had always maintained a stoic, emotionless persona, the returns from harvesting his emotions would undoubtedly be the greatest.
"I choose you..."
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on?
