Somewhere in the Innocence Continent, a ruin of an underground palace

"Fuck! Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!"

With a roar at the top of his lungs, the giant bear transformed by Yuan Fang stood up and roared loudly: "Are you serious? No, are we saying that we must do this?!"

"Don't move!"

Although he was slender, the Cheese Cat Demon, who was the strongest in the team besides Yuan Fangweiwu, raised his eyebrows and desperately grabbed the latter's front paws to drag him to the ground, while gritting his teeth and saying, "Just bear with it, it will pass! It will only be more painful at first!"

Because he had just completed the transformation and could not return to human form during the skill cooldown period, Yuan Fangwei, who could only remain in the giant bear form, turned a deaf ear to him and continued to struggle desperately: "Go to hell! Stupid cat, let me go! You finally found a bed, you have to be a good wife!"

"Be a good wife?"

The cheese cat demon sneered, swung his shield and smashed down the giant bear with horns on both sides of its head in front of him: "I'm guarding your mother's watermelon!"

Being hit by the opponent's shield and feeling dizzy, but unable to fight back, Yuan Fangwei gritted his teeth and said, "Fuck!"

"You couldn't figure it out yourself, but Huang Yu did."

Po Douluo folded his arms and leaned against Yuan Fang's mighty body. The cold black energy emanating from his body turned into two pitch-black hands in mid-air, tightly restraining the giant bear's two hind legs. He said in a rather lazy tone: "Then let him try."

"He can try it all he wants, but he can't try it on me!"

Although he could definitely break free if he tried desperately, he didn't dare to use core skills like [Feral Rage] rashly. In the end, he was really 'subdued' and Yuan Fangwei cursed: "You bastards! Why do you bully me just because I'm a druid! I have lived for more than 30 years and I have never tattooed a little chicken on my body. How dare you...Fuck you!!!"

A flash of blood appeared, and a gash was made on the giant bear with the mithril carving knife that was flashing purple in his hand. Huang Yu also showed a bloodthirsty smile and said, "It will be done soon, it will be done soon. As long as you don't move, I promise to do it quickly, gently and lightly!"

Yuan Fang is mighty: "I @#￥you @&%!!!"

"Tsk tsk, the more you resist, the more excited I get!"

Huang Yu smiled even more widely. He just asked him to hold the knife in his left hand and sprinkle powder with his right hand. While making bloody wounds on the giant bear's body, he continuously sprinkled a large amount of powder with flowing magic fluctuations and glowing light into the air. His eyes were wide open and the corners of his mouth almost stretched below his ears. He looked like a sick and cruel perverted killer in a horror movie.

……

"Honestly, although I have always known that Yuhuo and his gang are not mentally normal, but the demeanor and behavior of contestant Huangyu right now..."

Greek Milk took a deep breath and said with lingering fear: "It's a bit too crazy even if it's put in a fire."

Smiling Face touched the edge of his mask and said dryly, "I'm more curious about why they are doing this, or... what are they doing? It can't be that they are really killing each other, right?"

"Of course not. Didn't they say this is a 'method'?"

The handsome guy shook his head and said calmly: "According to the current situation, this so-called 'method' is most likely used to deal with the Sailor Moon team. It just requires the Saruyoshi Mighty player to pay a price."

Xue Yin shrank her neck, hugged her shoulders and whispered, "It looks so painful!"

"But it only looks like that. With his senses protected, Yuan Fang Weiwu will feel pain, but the extent will definitely not exceed that of being pecked by a bird."

The handsome guy simply comforted them and said seriously, "In most cases, we will not let players suffer unbearable pain without permission."

Xue Yin blinked, and shook her head happily to the accompaniment of Yuan Fang's mighty and shrill howls, and asked curiously, "What do you mean by without permission? Does it mean that if the player allows it, they will encounter unbearable pain?"

"In theory, all players have a minimum adaptive sensory protection threshold of 60 percent to ensure that everyone can get as much positive feedback as possible when experiencing [Boundary of Innocence], and reduce negative physical sensations as little as possible without affecting the sense of reality."

The handsome guy first slowly stacked up a piece of armor, and then explained: "But in some cases, players may also need to make some choices. When the input and output are positively proportional, they may judge whether they can pay a certain price to ensure the benefits. There may also be an option to reduce the sensory protection ratio, but most of these can be decided by the players themselves. In fact, we think that negative physical sensations are also part of the game experience. After all, life is always sweet and sour, and you will get tired of the unadjusted sweetness if you taste it too much."

Xue Yin nodded vigorously and said, "Yeah! I understand, I understand! Although it is very cool and comfortable to arrange music that comes naturally, suddenly, or by chance, it does make people feel more accomplished to stay up until the early hours of the morning and revise it more than 70 times before finally coming up with it! If you're lucky, you'll come up with a lot of useful insights!"

"That what..."

Greek Milk keenly caught the blind spot in the handsome guy's words and hesitated, "I noticed that you said 'most of the time' twice. Can this be understood as in some extreme cases with a very small probability, we players may passively endure some unbearable negative physical sensations?"

The handsome guy was silent for about half a second, and finally nodded and said, "Yes, I do not deny that in extremely special circumstances, some unexpected situations will occur, which of course also includes negative physical sensations that exceed the system threshold."

"This is a part of the [Realm of Innocence] that must be experienced."

Smiling Face shrugged and said unhappily, "You want the truth but can't stand a little suffering. How can it be that good? If you don't like it, don't play."

Hearing this, Greek Milk immediately waved his hands and explained, "That's not what I meant. I just thought that with your company's background, you should have a plan for the situation just now, right? If possible, I hope you two can help me popularize it. Although most of the content is already in the official manual, I don't think most players will have the patience to carefully study those hundreds of thousands of words."

"of course can."

Considering that Sailor Moon is still waiting at the refresh location, and the atmosphere in Bath of Fire is still comparable to that of a slaughterhouse, the handsome guy naturally nodded and explained, "Actually, this question is easy to answer. To put it simply, in terms of protecting players, in addition to basic sensory protection, we also have the two functions of Sensory Protection for Minors and Forced Offline due to Overload."

Greek Milk nodded and said seriously, "I'd like to hear more about it." "I think everyone is familiar with the [Minors' Sensory Protection] function. Although it is mandatory for minors to turn it on, adults can also choose to activate the system on the system interface. In this case, the so-called extreme situations we mentioned before will no longer exist. Any player included in the [Minors' Sensory Protection] will be strictly, closely, and rigorously protected, but..."

The handsome guy paused here and said seriously, "In this case, any negative physical sensation that has a probability of exceeding the player's tolerance after being greatly weakened will cause the player to be disconnected. I will not go into the various situations after being disconnected in the game. There are many on the forum."

“It’s definitely a side effect.”

Greek Milk nodded seriously and continued to ask: "Besides that? Is there anything else?"

"Apart from that, it's all relatively stream-of-consciousness stuff that hasn't been verified."

The handsome guy pondered for a moment, then said carefully, "For example, many people will explode in adversity, pain, or high pressure, and then have new breakthroughs or realizations. However, if they are in the state of [Minors' Sensory Protection] throughout the process, their physical senses in related aspects may not be very intuitive, and this may affect the character's growth. But as I said before, this statement is too stream-of-consciousness, and strictly speaking, it cannot be used as a reference."

Smiling Face leaned back on his chair with his arms folded, and said lazily, "Just save some money. If you are timid, just turn it on, but it will easily make you look bad. Although players below high level will not be affected, with the epic bottleneck already blocking countless people, I would like to advise those who are mainly engaged in combat to try not to be giant babies. As for players who like to study history, geography, humanities, politics, economy and trade, there is no need to turn it on. As for the [Overload] protection, it is based on the different tolerance of each person, and forces the player to go offline before their deep mental state is affected."

"I see."

Greek Milk, who raised a popular question on behalf of the majority of players, nodded with satisfaction and said seriously, "I understand."

"Ah! It looks like the fire bath is done too!"

Almost at the same time, Xue Yin also raised her hand and pointed at the giant bear on the screen, which had been released by Cheese Cat Demon and Po Douluo and was now lying on the ground like a puddle of mud and being treated by his teammate "Drunken Angel". His body was covered with bloodstains: "Yuan Fang Weiwu doesn't seem to have lost much blood."

Smiling Face spread his hands and said sarcastically, "That's for sure. Yuan Fang Weiwu is a defensive-specialized Shapeshifter. He is definitely 'thick-skinned' in the literal sense. So even though the scene looks bloody, this kind of damage is just a 'skin-breaking' level for him. If left alone, it will probably heal in a few minutes."

Xue Yin looked at the giant bear on the screen with interest. The bear looked half-dead but still had 92.5% of its health. She said to herself, "So what were they doing just now?"

It is worth mentioning that the reason why she said she was talking to herself was naturally because Xue Yin did not expect anyone to answer her, but to her surprise, the handsome guy and Greek milk on both sides answered her question almost at the same time -

"Carve a magic circle."

"Draw a magic circle?"

The handsome guy and Greek milk didn't say the same thing, but their answers were basically the same. After they finished speaking, they turned to each other at the same time and smiled at each other in tacit understanding.

Xue Yin: "...So what is that?"

The handsome guy smiled but said nothing, and just gave the Greek girl a look that said "you speak".

The latter didn't hesitate to explain to Xue Yin and countless viewers who didn't understand what she was saying, "If nothing unexpected happens, the injuries on contestant Yuan Fang Weiwu's body that look scary are actually just cuts with some crystal powder sprinkled inside. They should be some kind of buff array with limited range, stable power, and long-lasting effects."

"Amazing!"

Xue Yin naturally did not hesitate to praise him, and immediately looked at Greek Milk with shining eyes: "How did you know that?"

"Uh……"

Greek Milk scratched her hair awkwardly, then turned to look at the handsome guy: "You tell me first?"

The latter smiled and said calmly: "It's just a coincidence. I have seen this magic circle before and recognized it directly."

"I see. My words were a bit tricky."

Greek Milk nodded and said with a wry smile, "Although Huang Yu is not an insider, he often appears in various incredible records and lists, so many people have studied him, including me who wants to increase the topic of conversation during live broadcasts. In my impression, Huang Yu is best at 'fixed-point casting'. In other words, his mobile combat is terrible, but his standing output is unparalleled in the world."

Xue Yin immediately turned her gaze to Huang Yu who was wiping the mithril dagger in his hand on the screen, and asked with her ears pricked up, "And then what?"

"Then it's actually a matter of taking the answer and working backwards."

Greek Milk touched the gap between his head and shoulders (he has no neck) a little embarrassedly, and said, "Based on my many years of experience in the industry, many games have high-reward and high-penalty skills that can allow users to gain significant gains in a limited area, but at the same time have a great impact on mobility. And the strength can only be exerted when standing still to output. Huang Yu, who is already a mess in mobile combat, is very fond of this kind of skill, so..."

"So what you're saying is that in order to be able to perform at a world-class level, player Huang Yu chose to engrave some kind of skill similar to an amplification array on player Yuan Fang Wei Wu?!"

"Well... that's what I think. Although this approach is nothing short of fantastic in other games, after playing [Boundary of Innocence] for more than half a year, I no longer think it's something fantastic."

"That's right. Xiaomian and I can prove that as long as it is logical, you can do anything you can think of in the Realm of Innocence, including engraving a [Powerful Magic Circle] that should be engraved on a piece of ground on a druid."

"Uh, so what you mean is..."

"If nothing unexpected happens, we will soon see a bear rider... oh no, a bear rider galloping on the battlefield."

“…It’s outrageous.”
