No health bar? You call this stunningly beautiful NPC sickly?

Players: "...?"

Players: Why is it dark?

This preferential treatment is ridiculous; we're all players, so why is there such a huge difference?

If you could sit in her seat, could you?

The subtext of this statement is all too clear: the rules do not apply to everyone, privileges are real, and the gap between them and that special candidate number one is so large that even the bizarre game system doesn't bother to hide it.

Everyone says that people's hearts are treacherous, so how could one accidentally wander into the Heavenly Realm in the realm of the supernatural?

The burly bear-like player stood frozen in place, mouth agape, his face drained of all color, his throat feeling as if it were stuffed with cotton, unable to utter a single word.

finished...

Inside Examination Room No. 7, where Yuexi was, she listened to the suppressed gasps and whispers of the players around her in the team channel, and a hint of mockery flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She rested her chin on her hand, her posture languid, her gaze seemingly able to pierce through the crowded people and thick walls, landing on that aloof and solitary figure in the central examination hall.

A bunch of idiots.

The rules set by the gods are simply to be followed by mortals. When has it become the mortals' place to question the gods' actions?

The fact that this stupid bear wasn't killed on the spot is probably all thanks to Miss Number One being in a good mood today and unwilling to see blood.

Yuexi's red lips silently curved into a very faint smile. Her fingertips tapped lightly on the table as usual, and the little king card hidden in her sleeve emitted a faint light.

She had no interest in the tedious exam; she only cared about that person's mood.

Inside the Central Examination Room No. 1, Mu Zhixi was watching the rapidly scrolling numbers on her faith value backend with great interest, feeling quite pleased.

It seems that the effect of merging the dungeons this time is immediate. With a larger player base and the players being of quite good quality, harvesting faith points is particularly efficient.

She opened the long-unseen Creator God panel with satisfaction, ready to lay the foundation for the next step of the plan, but when the familiar interface unfolded, she was slightly stunned.

The style of the panel seems to have changed. It is no longer the simple and cold sci-fi style of the past, but has more flashy dynamic effects. There is even a constantly flashing "Limited Time Offer" treasure chest icon in the upper right corner.

Summer Sale is in full swing!

[Your Majesty, your exclusive 'Sanctuary Knights,' 'Royal Guard,' and 'Judgment Officer' character packs are now available in the deluxe group purchase package!]

Buy one, get three free! Purchase one SS-rank Knight Captain and receive three S-rank Knight subordinates for free!

[Buy one, get twelve! Purchase one SS-rank Knight Captain, and twelve S-rank elite knights will be at your command!]

Mu Zhixi's eyes twitched involuntarily as she looked at the familiar slogan.

This style is starting to resemble that shopping app on her phone from her past life, which she couldn't get a discount on even after trying to cut it 800 times.

She clicked on the character pack's detailed page and discovered there were quite a few things to know about it.

Knights of the same grade can have vastly different prices depending on their faction.

The "Holy Knight" in the Sanctuary Cathedral is the most expensive. Even after a discount, an SS-class captain template still costs 300,000 faith points. The panel attributes are gorgeous, and it comes with a bunch of holy aura skills. It is obviously an exclusive for whales.

The knights of the Old Royal Court and the Inquisition, who are also classified as SS-, are even distinguished into an "Economy Version" and a "Premium Version".

[Old Royal Guard (Economy Version)]: Priced at 150,000 Faith Points, with balanced attributes and the ability to fight enemies of higher levels.

[Old Royal Guard (Premium Edition)]: Priced at 250,000 Faith Points, it also comes with the special status "Abandoned Gods". When facing units of the Holy Domain faction, all attributes are reduced by 20%, but when fighting against all other factions, all attributes are increased by 100%!

Looking at the glaring "Premium Edition" description, Mu Zhixi was also a little confused. Isn't this just an official cheat?

As she calculated her remaining faith points, she scrolled down, and a brand new product icon caught her eye.

It was a retro-style loudspeaker that gleamed with gold.

[Floating Megaphone (Copy Version)]

Price: 64800 Faith Points

Are you still troubled by the inconsistent effectiveness of the "Refining from Illusion to Truth" skill? Are you still worried about not being able to accurately convey information to players?

[With the floating megaphone, you will have ten opportunities to issue messages under the name of the 'Strange Game System'! You can issue mandatory tasks to specific players or all players, fabricate false rules out of thin air, and even simulate system prompts and forge kill information!]

[For more powerful features, please develop them yourself!]

[During the summer sale, enjoy a limited-time 50% off! Bring home a powerful artifact for only 32400 Faith Points!]

Three big questions popped up on Mu Zhixi's forehead: This price, this description, she was all too familiar with it.

Isn't this just like the "648" premium gift pack from the game in my past life? And it's even folded in half.

This thing is practically a magic weapon tailor-made for a mastermind like her!

She had previously struggled with how to more naturally assign tasks to players and guide the storyline, but now, with this megaphone, she can completely act as the system itself and manipulate the entire dungeon's direction at will.

The key thing is that the panel can finally be shown!

Buy it! You absolutely must buy it!

She made the purchase almost without hesitation.

Congratulations! You have successfully purchased the 'Floating Megaphone (Copy Version)'. Remaining uses: 10.

Seeing the more than 30,000 faith points evaporate instantly in the background, Mu Zhixi didn't feel bad at all. This was definitely a long-term investment that would make a profit without any risk.

She rubbed her chin, and a brilliant, wicked idea gradually took shape in her mind.

Thus, as the players have seen—

[Ding-dong—The final exams are over. Please leave the venue in an orderly manner and enjoy your free time.]

[Friendly reminder: The campus is full of opportunities, but also fraught with danger. May all students... die a pleasant death.]

The bell rang, signaling the end of the exam. The players, who had been holding back for so long, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and many of them practically collapsed in their seats.

No one knows what happened to that bear-man player; all that is known is that the bear-man race was never seen again.

Almost at the same moment the bell rang, the players in all nine examination rooms, as if by prior agreement, turned their gazes to the tightly closed central examination room door, which symbolized absolute privilege.

However, just as they got up to investigate, a cold notification sound rang in everyone's ears.

Don't tell anyone that you are the only three humans left in this game!

Do not reveal your player identity to any being outside the Sanctuary! Do not tell anyone that you can see the people of the Royal Court and the Hall of Judgment!!

The one in the royal court and He may never have truly met, but their goals were remarkably aligned—not to try to exploit her, and not to take her tolerance for granted.

Please remember: She is the gentlest, kindest, and only "way out" you will encounter in this game.

She has forgiven enemies, embraced those who are different, listened to the prayers of traitors, and was willing to stop for lost strangers. So, when you meet her, do not be afraid.

The one who should truly be afraid is yourself, because "best" is never the same as "harmless." Whether she becomes your way out does not depend on her.

[But it depends on you.]

After a brief pause, the last line of blood-red text seemed to be repeatedly deleted and altered by some invisible force, eventually solidifying before all the players' eyes.

She is the best person you can meet in this sick world, so please don't let her meet someone worse than you.

May your deaths be meaningful. You were never fighting alone; your every word and action from now on will determine the survival of the races behind you. Countless races have been trampled by the royal cavalry; may you not be among them.
