Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

Restore the port and lighthouse to normal operation, score +999

Overall score: 100/100

"Wow, the buckle... the buckle is numb."

Yu Man almost couldn't breathe. If he hadn't finished it well, he would have gotten a shameful zero points.

Xiaolu was also panicked because this was the story she started, but the result was completely different from usual.

"... This plot actually has so many hidden contents?"

"No...it's not hidden, but it's quite obvious that they want players to explore it."

Otherwise, Yu Man wouldn't have assembled a full team to deal with it when he was preparing to go into sleep mode.

She could have gotten full marks for all these items that deducted points...except for those on fish ecology, but the Overlord's actions were too excessive, so she had no choice but to fight back.

Ugh.

"Is the lighthouse worth so many points?" the deer asked again.

"After all, this is an island world. If you isolate yourself alone, it will be difficult for everyone else to deal with it."

The deer nodded in understanding, but immediately became confused again: "Here's the problem, Eel, every time we complete a task, these ratings are there, but we don't get any substantial extra treasure chests. What's the point of getting a perfect score?"

"Yeah...what's the point?"

Yu Man didn't know either.

I just guess that it will affect the completion of the game, and...it will affect the story of a certain "Three Secrets".

But even in the first week, after spending three full years, Yu Man still didn't understand these things.

If she had to say, she only understood one thing.

——This is the god who invited them, looking over their journey.

Thinking of this, Yu Man stopped and looked at her who was a little away from him.

"Little Deer, do you know? There is a state in the world called 'creator, participant, bystander'."

"Aren't those three states?"

"No, it's the same thing. It's pronounced like this, but when it's written down, it's called—"

Yu Man wrote a word on the snow.

It is pronounced in Old World language and can be understood in Chinese characters.

"writer"

And this word, in Old World language, is written as "creator, participant, bystander".

At this moment, the rapid snowfall covered her handwriting, and even the most complicated thoughts were forgotten.

Xiaolu, however, carefully savored this word—and Yu Man's description.

"I've never written a story, so I don't know... but if you put it that way... it's true. You're both the creator of the story... and a participant who flows with the characters and plot. You need to write from an outsider's perspective... Ha, a writer."

"So, those ratings, those reviews...are probably just the writers who wrote the stories, torturing us on our journey of exploring those stories."

The writer wrote the story, but the players didn't get to experience it fully, so the writer got angry and deducted points.

Just like that one——

"Failed to witness the secret of the longevity ritual, score -200"

Perhaps the writer has buried a very proud and interesting ritual process here.

But Yu Man did not expose it, so the "creator" was very angry and deducted 200 points from him.

But grading players—that's what writers do as spectators.

At this time, the deer asked as a matter of course -

"Doesn't this word mean that... the writer, the creator of this story, this game, is actually also a 'participant'?"

"Congratulations." Yu Man immediately clapped her hands and cheered, her expression extremely happy.

"…Eel is crazy. Why is he congratulating me? What's wrong with me?"

Yu Man didn't say anything, just kept laughing.

Because understanding the word "writer (creator, participant, bystander)" is the first step to the final destination.

It is a signpost, it is a key.

It is understanding—

It is also the answer.

This is Yu Man’s most proud discovery.

Now, Yu Man gave it as an answer to Xiaolu's casual question to his first permanent teammate in his life.

"Hey, eels are really weird. Let's go to the guild territory and farm."

"Oh."

……

On the road——

In the guild channel, Brother Teng sent a message.

"President, I'm ready."

"What's settled?" Yu Man couldn't think of it for a moment.

"When we heard you were taking us to a major event tonight, we rushed around and made a deal. You got me a special healing skill to install on my weapon so I wouldn't be held back anymore."

Damn it.

Seeing this, Yu Man and Xiao Lu both looked equally panicked.

Yes, the "Night Visit to the Grand Lord's Residence" should have been treated as a guild activity, and they should have been shown the world...

But the matter is settled, so what to do tonight?

Brother Teng even got a skill, which is of great significance.

It’s okay for Yu Man to be a cheating second-round player, but Teng Ge and the others were able to get extra skills at this point in time. I wonder how much effort they put in... In the end, do I have to tell him that "the event is cancelled"?

Seeing Brother Teng's modest show-off, which attracted the admiration of the guild members, the two of them were sweating profusely.

"Eel, what should I do..."

"Uh……"

"I-I have an idea. That 'writer' complained that we haven't finished the storyline and that we haven't done anything environmentally friendly. I-I'll take the guild members out to do some environmental protection tonight... That way I can go fishing in the future."

"You want to fish yourself, don't you?"

"Hmm."

Alas, the traveler has reached the fourth level, but Xiaolu’s fish catch is still dismal. No wonder she is so worried about him.

But this definitely won’t work…

I have to think of something bigger, otherwise Brother Teng's preparations will be in vain. Not to mention, Brother Ya is definitely looking forward to it too...

"Well, President, what else do you need me to prepare?"

"No, just wait for sleep mode to come."

"Well, you two are showing off again, dragging some blood mage to torture the main city government. How cool."

As the topic changed, everyone started chatting. Although being a member of the First Guild seemed full of honor, the topic was nothing more than the commonplace conversation among these people.

Only Yu Man was having a headache, as he had no idea what grand content to arrange for the sleeping mode so as not to disappoint the members' expectations.

……

ps

(The content of this chapter is particularly important and it took me a long time to write.

I will start paying off my debt tomorrow. Trust me for the last time!)

074·Go to sleep

The world has no shortage of content.

But for now, this island is just a corner of the world, and people have only been in the Old World for a few days... there is still a lack of content.

Yu Man was very troubled.

It’s all because the overlord is so weak that I have to think extra about the content of the event.

"Why don't we take everyone to play the fifth-level dungeon or treasure map? We have plenty of them, don't we?" Xiaolu suggested.

There are indeed quite a few of them.

Dungeon keepsakes, treasure maps—these are fixed contents in the treasure chest and are not considered scarce.

Therefore, after accumulating these days, Yu Man does have a lot.

She originally wanted to pick a day when Xiaolu was not around, and quietly clear all of them by herself to speed up her development, so that she could reach those overseas worlds faster and more easily support Xiaolu's journey.

If you want to use it now...

"That kind of content is a bit too simple." Yu Man told the truth.

For them before, the fifth-level copy might be just right.

But their expertise and equipment have improved a lot, not to mention that they have to bring guild members along, so the difficulty of those dungeons is not enough.

"Then let's take everyone to the illegal zone and kill everyone we meet," Little Deer suggested. "Crush all the newbies until they're bankrupt, and crush all the veterans until they never touch PVP again. Then we'll dominate the illegal zone and book it all!"

"Didn't our guild's reputation explode instantly?"

"It really is."

Although they were just passing through this guild, they were still the first guild in the world that they had personally founded, and they were reluctant to tarnish its reputation. Besides, that would be even less difficult and more boring.

Fawn could no longer offer advice, and she didn't take it too seriously.

After all, the person next to him is Yu Man. In this world, she is someone who can do anything.

The little deer has endless trust and reliance on her.

And Yu Man's mind was filled with suggestions one after another -

"Teaching everyone to learn the old world language... well, it's a bit crazy."

"Let's have an internal guild war. All members must be equipped with level one equipment and fight each other with fists... Ugh, even more crazy."

"Who can hold their breath the longest in the freezing water? We don't even need a referee, just see who's the last one to be resurrected in the cemetery... That sounds interesting."

The more Yu Man thought about it, the more feasible it seemed - but she finally realized that she seemed to have been thinking in the wrong direction.

Alas, lack of sleep caused it.

Like a dog taking a bath, she shook her head and became much more sober.

Serious event content is possible - it's not impossible, although the cost may be very high... but there is also the possibility of making a profit.

After the idea came to his mind, Yu Man opened the guild interface and counted the number of people.

"About ten people...most of them have level three equipment...maybe we can give it a try."

"Eel, what are you mumbling about again?"

"Xiaolu, actually, we've only played single-player dungeons before. Did I tell you that?"

The little deer shook his head, not sure if he was saying that he didn't remember - or that he had never said that.

None of this prevents Yu Man from telling the story again now.

"This world's dungeons are divided into four types... According to the official website, there are single-player, squad, and team-based dungeons—and there are also large-scale battles with hundreds of players, called epic dungeons."

"Well, so we've been fighting solo before? That's understandable, since we're fighting across two classes."
