Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

Let's get back to the post itself.

The content of the post is very simple.

The main text consists of only a few lines, with a download link at the top and a sentence below the link:

"As long as you can complete the game in this link, you will gain the power to control the world."

"At first, no one believed what was said in the post; everyone just thought it was a joke."

Liu Wenbo smiled as he said this, a smile tinged with a hint of sneer.

"But you also know that there's never a shortage of trolls and people who are just bored and have nothing better to do in this world."

"Has anyone tried it?" Lu Ze asked.

"Yes, quite a few." Liu Wenbo nodded.

"And the first batch of people who downloaded the game and started playing discovered..."

Once you complete the game to the third level, you will awaken a unique superpower that matches your current ability.

Liu Wenbo held up one finger and said earnestly.

Lu Ze stared wide-eyed, opened his mouth, wanting to say something to express his shock, but found that his vocabulary seemed particularly impoverished at this moment.

What the heck?

Can you awaken superpowers by completing a game?

This sounds even more outrageous than the online novels he's read.

But when he thought of Liu Wenbo's fiery sword aura a few days ago, he felt that it wasn't entirely unacceptable.

"Of course, it's not all good." Liu Wenbo lowered his finger, his tone becoming somewhat gloomy.

"You saw those monks in robes a few days ago. Once you complete the third level of the game and gain the superpower, these monks in robes will automatically spawn around you and start attacking you."

Lu Ze listened in a daze, feeling as if his worldview was being reassembled:

"So... those monks were the ones who came to kill you after you cleared the level?"

At this point, Liu Wenbo scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly and said awkwardly.

"Actually, I was skeptical at first, but I found out it was true after I finished the game."

Lu Ze felt that the whole thing was absurd from beginning to end.

Because of a post from ten years ago, because of a strange game, I'm going to be hunted down by a group of monks who can teleport.

What is this?

Is this a real-life version of a game completion reward that comes with after-sales follow-up and pursuit services?

Seeing his disbelief, Liu Wenbo didn't laugh at him, but patiently explained:

"Actually, you don't need to overcomplicate things. You've read fantasy novels, right? Just think of the monks' behavior as some kind of heavenly tribulation."

There are nine major realms. Each time you cross a major realm, you need to overcome the corresponding heavenly tribulation. That's perfectly normal.

Lu Ze remained silent for a long while before slowly processing the information.

Then he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Bonya beside him.

"Bangya, what level have you cleared?"

He asked this question because, given that Bonya knew about the existence of the Gate of Truth, and considering her passion for video games...

There's no way she hasn't played this game.

Bonya gave him a brief, indifferent look.

"Level 5".

"hiss--"

Before Lu Ze could react, Liu Wenbo gasped.

Only those who have played this game know just how difficult it is.

He only managed to pass the third level by sheer luck a few days ago.

As it turns out, this seemingly socially awkward girl had actually already cleared the fifth level without making a fuss.

Liu Wenbo's gaze towards Bangya instantly changed, filled with genuine awe.

The big shot was actually right next to me.
