Chapter 439 Zeus the Self-Disciplined

"Zeus, I didn't quite understand today's lesson. Could you come to my house tonight and tutor me in math?"

Inside the classroom, as Athena playfully extended an invitation to him, Zeus felt he was about to collapse.

At that moment, he remembered Sisyphus, whom he had once punished by making him push a boulder.

Was Zeus destined to endlessly wallow in this underworld game?

As if in response to his thoughts, a line of large characters that only he could see appeared in front of him.

[The game features multiple playthroughs. After collecting all the CGs, triggering all the easter eggs, and achieving all the achievements, you can exit the game. Players are encouraged to try again and again.]

"Complete collection...?"

Looking at the large characters in front of him, Zeus felt like his heart was bleeding. To quit the game, he had to trigger each green condition one by one and actively and frantically exercise self-discipline.

Although these Greek goddesses were fake, he was furious that they were being used to benefit the White Nights.

But he has no say in the matter. If he wants to leave the game, he has to collect everything; otherwise, he will be stuck in the game forever.

After endless cycles of reincarnation dozens of times, Zeus finally gave in and began to seriously explore every CG scene in the game in order to collect them all.

Parks, schools, kitchens, residential areas, corridors, stairwells, rainforests, battlefields...

Over the course of the game's ten thousand years, or at least a thousand years of reincarnation, Zeus traveled the entire globe, triggering almost every storyline.

Even so, Zeus could only watch helplessly as his CG collection remained stuck at 0.5%.

After ten thousand years of perseverance, Zeus angrily questioned, "Why! Why, even though I have unlocked all the triggerable storylines, are there still so many CGs that haven't been unlocked?"

[Because this is an online game, you're not the only player.]

The answer reappeared in the void.

"What do you mean?" Zeus couldn't help but ask.

[Those NPCs you might think of—Athena, Hera, the three Fates…—are all players.]

Upon seeing this, Zeus's body trembled violently, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

He had always regarded those who did not fit his own character as NPCs, and he thought that Bai Ye did it on purpose.

But unexpectedly, these people were all real people! However, the character designs of those players...

A flicker of regret crossed Zeus's eyes. If even Zeus had been forced to submit to Bai Ye, how could anyone else possibly resist...?

This is a large-scale interactive game. Unlocking all the CGs and achievements here means that every player must unlock all the achievements.

In other words, each player's achievement requires unlocking the entire storyline with all the White Night NPCs, including goddesses like Hera.

Zeus was devastated when he saw the words that appeared before him.

This is a game that forces all players to experience and unlock achievements, otherwise they can't get out.

Thinking of what the other players looked like, anger began to engulf Zeus's mind.

The perspective shifts, and on the other side, as the game restarts following Zeus, new options emerge before the goddess Athena.

"A new cycle has begun. It's the start of the school year, and after reuniting with Zeus, your long-time crush, what will you decide?"

[A asks him for math advice (depending on Zeus's choice after this, there's a chance to enter previously explored storylines)]

[B suppresses the excitement in his heart (randomly explores this world, beginning the freedom of choice options)]

Athena pressed option B without hesitation, choosing not to interact with Zeus, and subconsciously pursed her lips.

"We already experienced the Copernicus storyline last time. I remember there was an urban legend in the classroom toilet called something like... 'The Shirako in the Toilet'?"

"There are also hidden storylines outside of school, such as 'The Slit-Mouthed Man,' 'The Beautiful Boy at the Crossroads,' and 'The Rich and White Man.'"

Athena pondered how to unlock all the CGs, after all, this open world was simply too vast.

Not only Earth, but also alien White Nights, monster White Nights, and White Nights from the future and past that transcend time and space. There's so much to explore if you want to unlock all the achievements.

Unlike Zeus, the two play completely differently in this game, with Zeus able to trigger new storylines repeatedly in each playthrough.

As for her... her limit is already interacting with and experiencing more than 10 different storylines in one playthrough.

But unlike Zeus, it is viewed from a third-person perspective.

As Athena and others are in the first-person perspective, she can experience the story of each NPC in detail, so she can understand the personality of each NPC.

First up is the eccentric Bai Ye, an NPC I encountered when I first entered the game, so I'm still getting used to him.

At first, you might feel a little uncomfortable when you first meet him, but as you spend more time with him, you'll realize how precious he is, and you'll gradually become inseparable from him.

Later on, when feelings develop, a ton of interactive CGs will be triggered, so the character gets a score of 95.

Then there's Furi White Night, because its setting is that of Ding Zhen, a boy who has not been exposed to modern civilization, and his every move is extremely rude, but it is very appealing to some Furi fans, 96 points.

……

Sometimes, for the sake of completeness, she had to share a rare type of white night with the other Greek goddesses.

Thinking of this, she licked her rosy lips slightly again, even though she had always been exploring the game with the goal of completing all achievements and leaving.

But gradually, she also found it hard to leave this paradise of white nights. What if she left after everything was accomplished? Could she take a white night with her?

Especially at times, seeing Bai Ye from the previous playthrough unlock achievements for other goddesses, she even felt a sense of self-discipline.

Yes, it wasn't just Zeus; all the goddesses in the game felt like they were being disciplined.

In this game, there are no victims, or perhaps everyone is a victim.

"That felt so good..."

In the mythological universe, a sense of satisfaction appeared on Bai Ye's face.

Experiencing everything within the hidden world in his sleeve made his brain feel like it was about to melt.

For each saint within the Sleeve Universe, Bai Ye would specially provide them with a dedicated space and reward them well according to their individual characteristics.

"But the battle is over now, it's time to head back to the Five Regions."

With these thoughts in mind, Bai Ye took a light step and traversed countless dimensions, returning to the skies above the Five Domains.

With a casual air, he looked across the Five Domains, only to be shocked by what was happening there the next second.

"Damn it, how did the Five Regions become like this?"

Bai Ye was speechless; what was happening below was simply unbearable to watch.

Christianity in the Western Regions is correct, India in the Eastern Regions is evil, Northern Europe is environmentally friendly, Southern Regions are schizophrenic, and Central China is full of Tang people.

"This needs to be rectified," Bai Ye thought to himself.
