After Lu Ze worked tirelessly to act as a junior saint for four days.
The player atmosphere in Operation Immortal Abyss was thriving.
In the past, the world channel shouts were mostly like this:
Secret Dam, level two gear missing one, need an info role
Need a glass cannon for Top Secret Bakshi
Add me if you're fighting the last team at the Ascension Base
Normal Dam fully geared, join the team directly
Avoid player xxx, he stole my big red!
Now the world channel shouts had turned into:
Blocking the bridge, missing one, bring your family portrait
Looking for someone to bomb the extraction point at Bakshi! Can teach you the spots if you don't know
The environment in Top Secret is really something else now! Played Ascension Base, one team blocking the bridge, one team bombing the extraction point, one team camping the gate, one team running with knives to chop feet, and another playing tricks... Walked around for fifteen minutes, and there was absolutely no sound!
It's all thanks to Old Demon Lu setting a good example!
Don't even mention it, now you have to keep your eyes peeled when looking for someone to run knives... Yesterday I hired someone to run 50 million for me, and it was done in one night. I was wondering why it was so fast? When I logged in, I found 106 friend requests! Looking at the combat record, it was all Red Wolf possession!!!
What a sin!!
...
Four days.
To complete the task, Lu Ze tried all the camper tricks he had seen in his previous life.
Enthusiastic netizens learned all his routines.
Indeed, as he expected, every time he used a new routine, the progress bar increased relatively quickly.
Later on, it became less and less.
These days he squeezed the players to death, and after four full days, the progress bar had just reached 80 percent.
At this moment, he wished he could immediately update the game version and bring all the new characters to the table.
Things like an old man globally catching a rat to sniff, or Jifeng using his ultimate to steal bags, could be used to farm a wave of experience points.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao's tournament mode was independent, so his updates wouldn't affect it.
"Could it be..."
Lu Ze rubbed his chin in distress.
"Do I really have to do that kind of thing?"
Currently, what he was doing were sneaky camper tricks.
Among scumbags, it was still considered a complimentary term.
If he used those truly scumbag tricks, he could probably greatly increase the task's progress value in a short time.
If he used Bai Mu, it would be fine.
But under the system task's requirements, he had to use his main account.
Playing underworld routines as a designer could be said to be excavating and utilizing the mechanics.
Although it was a bit inhumane, it was still a normal way to play the game.
But being a true scumbag as a designer...
The impact that would bring would really be somewhat bad.
"No, no! Let me think of another way!"
Lu Ze shook his head, trying hard to drive this terrible idea out of his mind.
Just then, Li Moran sent him a team invitation.
Lu Ze originally didn't want to accept, but suddenly had a bold idea and hurriedly joined the team.
"Still didn't run into you today... What a pity."
Li Moran looked at Lu Ze full of fighting spirit.
She watched Lu Ze's matches for three days, memorized spots for three days, and only started playing matches again on the fourth day.
Strangely enough, as if she had evolved, she cleared the map and extracted successively on the fourth day, and her ranking rushed back to the top ten.
At this time, her assets were approaching the 100 million mark.
And Lu Ze, under his unremitting efforts, had assets reaching as much as 60 million.
Although there was a small gap in assets between the two, there was already a probability of matching together.
After all, Lu Ze was still too convincing in terms of KD.
His main trait was never having died.
Li Moran tried to run into Lu Ze for a whole day but failed to meet him even once, which inevitably made her a bit angry.
In the end, to narrow the asset gap with Lu Ze, she even intentionally threw a few games, otherwise her ranking could have gone even further.
"Tomorrow... can you take it a bit more seriously?"
Li Moran said.
"I can, but I have a condition."
"Speak."
"Tomorrow, can you queue solo and pretend to be a little rat acknowledging a big boss, continuously giving secret signals until you find a team of big bosses willing to adopt you, and then follow them all the time... Until the final extraction, when the boss team is in a melee with another team and unfortunately someone falls, at this time you brave the hail of bullets to carry the fallen boss on your shoulder, walk into the extraction point, and send him home..."
"..."
Li Moran took a deep breath.
What appeared in her mind was the scene that day in Bakshi where the saint-like Mu Yawen was bombed to death by Lu Ze.
"And then, get bombed to death by your fireball?"
"It doesn't necessarily have to be a fireball, I could use a gun or an incendiary grenade..."
"..."
Li Moran subconsciously made a motion to draw her sword.
Lu Ze hastily dodged. "Ahem, if you're not willing, forget it, I won't force you..."
"Hmph."
Li Moran snorted coldly.
She could never figure out why Lu Ze, who was so strong, always had to end battles in such an unchivalrous way.
"I have memorized the 19 spots you used in the Ascension Base... If we meet tomorrow, I hope you bring a handy weapon."
Li Moran looked at Lu Ze, her eyes full of expectation.
"I am a bit stronger than those guys."
"Definitely, definitely."
...
"Now I'll really have to chop your feet..."
Sending Li Moran off, Lu Ze muttered softly.
It seemed that finding someone to stage a saintly drama, and then replicating the miracle of bombing Mu Yawen that day, was quite impossible.
At this stage, the people matched, besides Zhong Yi, were all aggressive attackers.
No one would go and be a saint.
Seeing that his task progress bar was still 20 percent short, Lu Ze couldn't help but feel a headache.
According to the progress of the previous few days, without new routines or special events, it was impossible to complete 20 percent progress in one day!
Had his efforts over the past four days been in vain?
Lu Ze sighed.
"It seems..."
"I can only go and be a scumbag..."
...
...
The fifteenth day of the first stage of the tournament.
Which was also the last day.
Lu Ze struggled internally for a whole day, and finally decided to lower his status—
To be a scumbag!
There was still some difference between the scumbag playstyle and the junior saint playstyle.
The junior saint playstyle was being a camper, sneaking up on people.
The victims were one's opponents.
The scumbag playstyle was purely being a scumbag.
The victims were one's teammates.
Although doing this would completely corrupt the game's atmosphere and cause irreversible impact on the players...
But!
For the system's task rewards, Lu Ze decided to really stop being human this time!
Things like playing the shield dog to hook teammates into the water to loot their boxes,
Things like saying he hadn't gotten this red item before and wanting to see what it looked like,
Things like waiting for a downed teammate to bleed out so he could loot the whole field,
Things like killing one person and immediately running to drop the bag and extract,
Things like pretending to dye a gun skin for a teammate, and secretly taking the valuable parts and spirit bullets...
...
He had already organized various inhumane methods in his mind in advance.
Some playstyles were just too scumbag, and he really couldn't bring himself to do them, so he was still a little conflicted at present.
"Whatever, anyway, let me turn on teammate matchmaking first..."
Lu Ze shook his head.
With very little time left, he had to hurry.
He decided to go in and see what kind of attitude his teammates had before deciding whether to be a scumbag.
What if he ran into people from the Illusion Alliance, or someone harboring deep hostility towards him?
Wouldn't it be perfectly justified for him to act like a complete bastard then?
Anyway...
I cannot be blamed for this. It is all because this damn system forced my hand!!
Just as he was thinking this, the teammate matchmaking was successfully completed.
The moment he entered the character selection screen, Lu Ze had already switched his character to Red Wolf, making it convenient for him to grab or drop the bag at any time.
Two familiar voices came through.
"Hello, hello? Can you hear me?"
"Holy shit? Old Zhong!?"
"Lao Zhou!!??"
Lu Ze: "..."
His breath hitched for a second, and Lu Ze's character instantly changed from Red Wolf to Luna.
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. 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." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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.
