Real world.

22:54.

Ghostly Child returned to her small house and picked up her phone to check the date.

December 5th, Saturday.

"Huh? Hasn't a whole day passed yet?"

Ghostly Child remembered that she had entered the instance on Saturday, December 5th, but it was in the early hours of the morning, around 4 o'clock.

In other words, she had spent more than 4 days in the instance, but only 19 hours had passed in real time?

Doesn't that mean she can get the reward very quickly?

Ghostly Child had a very lazy "development-type" talent - [Soulful Transit].

[Soulful Transit: After dying in the instance, your reward settlement will be delayed for up to 24 hours (real time). During this period, the instance will be cleared as usual and relevant scores can be obtained, but the score will be reduced by 50%.]

Because of this talent, Ghostly Child did not see the settlement interface after leaving the instance, and naturally did not see the game duration.

She always calculated it herself.

She thought she would have to go to school after leaving the instance, but she didn't expect to have a weekend off.

She had made up for the missed classes due to time jumps in the past few days, and now she had a five-day school week, with one day off.

Ghostly Child felt that she was really lucky to be summoned this time. Not only was the game experience great, but she also had a day off after logging out.

It's just right to spend a day at home tomorrow, draw the Mr. Prophet, and put it in the most prominent position!

Ghostly Child's rented house was not big, she didn't need a bigger one, and living alone made it feel empty.

Her room had a strong "star-chasing" attribute, with walls covered in posters - all of which she drew herself.

Most of them were NPCs in the game, not all of them were human, there were also many animals and fairies, talking stones, and so on.

Every time she encountered a particularly friendly creature, Ghostly Child would draw it as a memento.

Another part of it was the illustrations or character designs she drew for some real game companies.

People always have to live, and Ghostly Child didn't want to exchange money with old coins, so she occasionally took on some commercial orders to support her daily expenses.

Ghostly Child's talent for drawing was very high, and she wrote beautifully, but her grades were not very good.

Since junior high school, Ghostly Child had often been scolded by teachers, saying that she was not studying properly, only playing every day, flirting with boys, and affecting others' studies.

But in fact, Ghostly Child did work hard in her studies. The drawings that the teacher saw were all drawn in her spare time. The so-called flirting with boys was just other people stuffing love letters and the like into her drawer. She was reported by other students, and the teacher scolded her together.

"A fly doesn't bite an egg without seams."

"One hand can't clap."

To be honest, Ghostly Child was a little embarrassed at the time, and she really wanted to slap the old lady and ask if she could make a sound.

She promised to use only one hand.

These were just a small part of her life.

The exclusion and isolation from outsiders, the approach with bad intentions, or the colored glasses and harsh words, none of these were fatal. The most frightening thing was that her own family was the same as outsiders, preferring to believe in strangers rather than in her.

But aside from reality, Ghostly Child felt that she was living a pretty happy life.

The game is so much fun.

She didn't care at all what the next week's school life would be like, only entangled in what pose to draw Mr. Prophet in.

Standing or lying down?

Wearing a mask or not?

"How about drawing an action of taking off the mask?" Ghostly Child thought.

Half of the face exposed, a noble sofa behind, but not sitting, the neckline of the clothes slightly open, the light dim and romantic, a vase on the coffee table with a rose in it.

This way, there would be a lot of space for imagination, and any pose would be possible.

Very perfect.

But...

As Ghostly Child thought about it, a look of confusion suddenly appeared on her face.

She seemed to have forgotten what Mr. Prophet looked like...

How could this be?

22:56.

Do nothing also returned to reality.

Appearing on a recliner next to the floor-to-ceiling window of a seaside house.

Search "pawℝead.com" for the original.

He was only wearing a pair of floral shorts, with a white towel draped over his muscular body.

He had just completed the instance settlement and hadn't had time to log out, when the icon for entering the instance in the lower right corner started flashing.

Someone was @ing him.

Do nothing opened it and took a look.

———————

Old Li Head: "@Do nothing, are you out? How many did you get?"

Do nothing: "......"

"How many did you get" was their joking term, usually asking how many epic items were obtained.

As a member of the Sunset Red Guild, Old Li Head was still very concerned about Do nothing. It just so happened that he saw Do nothing come out of the instance when he was bored.

Do nothing didn't want to answer that question.

The public task wasn't completed.

The personal task wasn't completed.

He didn't even get a few heads.

The 100% exploration of the world view couldn't budge his score.

Do nothing's final evaluation for this summon was a B, and it felt like he was back in the novice period.

Could there be any epic items?

No, there weren't any. He only had a feverish old face!

Old Li Head seemed like a tapeworm in his belly, sending a dog emoji: "Haha, did you not get anything?"

Do nothing: "......"

Old Li Head's emoji suddenly upgraded to "Haha, laughing out loud": "Could it be that no one with over 200+ attributes can't even get an S in the instance?"

The group, which had been quiet, suddenly became lively.

Sexy Uncle: "Could it be that no one with over 200+ attributes can't even get an S in the instance?"Seafood Lover: "No way, no way. Is there really someone with over 200 attributes who can't even get an S rank in the instance?"

Second-hand Trader: "No way, no way. Is there really someone with over 200 attributes who can't even get an S rank in the instance?"

A large group of members quickly arrived at the scene to mock.

Everyone knows the temperament of Strength 39. Not admitting it is as good as admitting it.

Strength 39 saw the screen full of "happiness" and angrily said, "What's so funny? If you were in my place, you'd be the same!"

Old Li: "Is that so? I don't believe it."

The Not-so-cold Assassin: "You didn't happen to run into the goddess, did you?"

Looking at the date, it was just the end of the month and the beginning of a new month.

Chu Liuxiang: "It definitely isn't. The goddess is in the group. Would he dare to insult the goddess by calling the monster?"

Ice on Paper: "Then I'm the first to disagree!"

Second-hand Trader: "I'm the second!"

Crazy Tire: "I'm the third!"

Orange Can't Wake Up: "/Question mark, meaning, if the sister is not in the group, you all agree that he can insult her?"

Ice on Paper: "? Little sister, I warn you, stop provoking, we firmly support the goddess and do not allow anyone to question her!"

Second-hand Trader: "Exactly!"

Orange Can't Wake Up: "/Rolling eyes, men, go practice fencing on the side, the sister is mine!"

Peeking at the screen, Xia Leng: "......"

This group is really strange. Every time she is mentioned, they can't stop.

Strength 39 actually felt that Ice on Paper set the rhythm well, at least no one continued to talk about his failure to get an epic item with over 200 attributes in the instance.

Little did he know that his close friend, Old Li, would interrupt and bring the topic back: "So who did you run into? What mode?"

Strength 39: "......"

He really wanted to shut this old man's mouth with a stick.

Expressionless, he selectively replied, "Solo mode."

The Not-so-cold Assassin: "Could it be that the goddess used an identity card?"

Orange Can't Wake Up: "/Alert, why do you always bring the topic back to the goddess? What are your intentions?"

The Not-so-cold Assassin: "/Innocent, the only goddess I know is the one who can beat 39 without getting a single epic item."

In the Do Nothing group, there are quite a few people who can beat Strength 39, but there are not many who can lower his rating to below S.

The Not-so-cold Assassin continued, "And the day before yesterday, the goddess bought a pair of Courageous Fists from a shady merchant. It would be perfect to use them with an advanced identity card, right?"

This remark reminded Strength 39.

Based on his current personal panel, Gu Chi shouldn't have run into him. But if he used items like Courageous Fists before entering the instance, then it's hard to say.

Could this guy have used a whole set of epic items to boost his skills and forcefully locked onto an advanced instance?

Old Li was pondering as he typed: "There's also an old dirty guy who could do it."

Chu Mu: "It's none of my business, don't @ me."

Everyone: "......"

Did anyone @ you?

Peeking at the screen!

Old Li: "@Qing Chi."

Xia Leng: "It wasn't me."

Before the group could figure out how to type "goddess!" Ghostly Child joined the chat.

The girl directly @ Strength 39: "Mister, I have a question for you."

Strength 39: "Don't ask. If you ask, it means I really can see you."

Ghostly Child: "......"

Who asked you that!

Ghostly Child said, "Is the prophet a player in disguise?"

Strength 39: "......"

Oh no!

He's been found out.

Is this the intuition of a girl?

Strength 39 began, "Didn't you complete a mission with him? Why ask me?"

Ghostly Child replied, "I can't remember what he looks like."

Strength 39: "......"

Darn it, he forgot about this.

Now, the "identity card" option can be directly ruled out, leaving only the possibility of a player acting in their true form.

How can he explain this?

Strength 39 was a bit at a loss. Isn't this making things difficult for him?

Orange Can't Wake Up: "Did you two play a game of Werewolf? Is there someone playing the prophet?"

Old Li seemed to sense something: "Did you two run into each other?"

Ghostly Child: "Yes."

Old Li: "And both of you were fooled by the same person?"

Ghostly Child: "Yes."

She's really angry now!

Strength 39 regretted a bit. He was too honest.

When Old Li asked him earlier, he should have shown off a bit, telling the other party that he had taken down all the other players and looted a bag full of epic items.

That way, he would have saved face and been able to come up with a quick response when Ghostly Child asked him.

In this situation, even with a compass, he wouldn't be able to find his way back.

Just as Strength 39 didn't know how to answer the girl's question, Little Broken Game helped him out.

A system announcement that no player present had ever seen before popped up.

The background was a starry sky, and the border was gold, like a 24K gold frame added to a starry night, shining brightly.

"Ding!"

【Server-wide Announcement】

【Congratulations to players "Gu Yuan, Fish in the Pond, Ghostly Child" for completing the Ω-level instance for the first time!】

【This is a historic moment worth commemorating】

【Humanity has given birth to three heroes】

【They have defeated disaster, turned the tide, and saved the world from collapse】

【Their names will be forever engraved in the milestone of human civilization】

【The Starry Chapter of the Pure Land Game version 1.0 has come to an end, but the journey of humanity is not over】

【We will complete the 2.0 version update within three months and head to the vast starry sky】【The end is also the beginning, players never stop】

Capital time, 22:59.

The same announcement was translated into multiple languages and sent out simultaneously.

At this moment, players around the world exploded.

Even in a conference hall where a meeting was taking place, thousands of people stood up in shock.

"What the fuck, Ω??"

"This is a scam! Can't even clear an SS level, how is it possible to clear Ω with only three people..."

"Ah, the first clear of Omega, must be cheating!"

A mixed-race player was so shocked that he couldn't speak coherently.

A string of question marks appeared on the world channel.

My Air Force: "???"

Juice Knife Technique: "???"

Number One White Face of Kyushu: "???"

Even in the Do Nothing group, there were question marks.

Strength 39: "???"

Old Li: "???"

Everyone: "???"

Xia Leng was also stunned.

Ω?

Strength 39 was completely dumbfounded.

The difficulty of the last instance they cleared was Ω?

How did he not know??

Old Li couldn't stay calm anymore, his cigarette burned to his fingers without him noticing: "What kind of instance did you guys clear?"

Strength 39: "I have no idea!"

Crazy Tire: "I don't understand, but I'm deeply shocked."

Ice on Paper: "@Ghostly Child."

Chu Mu Chen: "@Ghostly Child."

Strength 39: "@Ghostly Child."

Everyone: "@Ghostly Child."

Ghostly Child replied blankly, "I have no idea either..."

Looking at the settlement interface that popped up in front of her, the anger in the girl's heart dissipated, and her big round eyes were full of confusion.

How... how did we clear Ω on our first try...?

At the same time.

Gu Chi and Xia Ling returned to their soft bed in their villa.

【"Withered Iris" strategy completed】

【Clear time: 19:56:33, rating: SSS】

【Worldview exploration: 99%, rating: Ω】

【Task completion rate (including personal tasks): 100%, rating: Ω】

【Player kill count: 1, rating: B】

【Unlocked achievements: 9, rating: A】

【Me, the Prophet, Money Maker: You used your unique hardcore prophecy and superb acting skills to impersonate a prophet, successfully gaining everyone's trust and maintaining your identity for more than three days - letting a fake prophet live for three days, they deserve to lose their pants. I don't sympathize with them, but I sympathize with you. If you keep playing like this, you'll have no friends.】

【Sorry, I'm also a mole: You deliberately destroyed the only instance clearance item, causing the instance difficulty to jump two levels, abruptly reaching Ω. "Wdnmd!" - this is cursing on behalf of your teammates. What? Your teammates agree with your decision? Pah, two moles!】

【Deception of a Girl: You deceived a girl player with a charm value greater than 7, making her do a lot of things for you, and she even got seriously injured for it. Such a naive and lovely girl, and you bullied her like this. I just want to ask you, where are your principles? Where is your conscience? And where is the contact information for this silly girl?】

【Dream Manipulator (Silver): You created several lifelike dreams for a key NPC through your own abilities, causing him to change his wishes, thereby affecting the personal tasks of other players and the overall direction of the game. You manipulated not only dreams, but also people. This achievement is a rare one, and it will increase the level of the skill you used the most during the process of completing this achievement by +1.】

【Small Stature, Great Energy (Gold): You killed a player whose total attributes were more than 100 higher than yours, just like when you survived for so long in the past, it was amazing and unbelievable. Although there was an element of luck, being handsome and capable is also a kind of strength. This achievement is a rare gold one, and it will bring you some precious all-attribute bonuses. I hope that you will be more and more courageous and stronger in the future.】

【Child of the Stars (Red): You cleared an Ω-level instance with a theoretical clearance probability close to zero and prevented a disaster from happening. This is an unprecedented feat, and you are truly a hero. Therefore, we have decided to award you the red achievement, which represents the highest honor of the current version. It will give you 6 points of all attributes - we know that for you at this moment, these attributes are insignificant, but it's okay, it's just a symbol, representing Pure Land's affirmation of you. Your true reward is the extremely precious divinity.】

As the text scrolled to this point, it suddenly stopped.

Gu Chi hadn't paid much attention.

He was looking at the last achievement.

When did Little Broken Game become so generous?

+6 to all attributes, a total of 30 additional attributes, and it actually said it was insignificant?

Before, "huge amount" only added 1 point.

Also, what is divinity?

According to the description, it seems to be more precious than 30 additional attributes?

Gu Chi couldn't guess for the time being, but he felt extremely comfortable in his heart.

With this exclusive Ω-level achievement, even if he didn't get any other items or old coins, it was worth it.

It wasn't in vain for him to risk the instance clearance reward for this.

However, the next second.

"Ding!"

【Achievement distribution error, correction in progress...】

Gu Chi: "?"

【Correction completed】

【Achievement "Child of the Stars (Red)" has been revoked】

Gu Chi: "???"

What does this mean?

Can't handle it?

The next second.

"Ding!"

【New achievement obtained: Child of the Stars (Pink)】[Starry Fragment (Pink): You've cleared an Ω-level instance with a theoretical clearance probability that's virtually zero, preventing an instance descent. This is an unprecedented difficulty scam, you sly thing!... For this, we've decided to award you the only saucy pink achievement in Pure Land to date. It will still grant you a massive attribute boost of +6 to all stats, as well as divinity beyond the current version. But listen, friend, you'd better be okay.]

[Click to view more achievements...]

Gu Chi: "..."

Oh, just a text change.

No big deal then.

Saucy pink is just fine, as long as the attributes and divinity are in place. He could even accept death Barbie color.

After all, he's not Dr. Chen; he wouldn't actually turn himself into a woman.

The settlement subtitles continued to scroll down.

[√/×]

Gu Chi's eyes were blurring.

Too much text, and the scrolling speed was faster than before. It was as if the little broken game was throwing a tantrum, eager for him to hurry up and take his rewards and scram.

Gu Chi clicked "√", and a row of skill icons popped up in front of him.

Multiple Eternal Brands could be used in one instance.

This time he looked carefully, confirming there were no other skills he wanted, before choosing Ashes of Annihilation, ending this frantic settlement.

[Special Ability Acquired: Forbidden Curse·Ashes of Annihilation]

["Solitary Flame Crystal" activated, available for selection in the backpack]

[Next Recruitment Countdown: 9 days]

"Big brother Gu Chi, I got a legendary box!"

Before Gu Chi had time to open his personal panel to upgrade, he was tackled onto the bed by an excited Xia Ling.

The bed and the girl were both fragrant and soft, leaving him momentarily unable to free his hands.

The world channel and the Do Nothing group were still exploding.

Old Li and others kept tagging Ghostly Child.

But Ghostly Child hadn't replied.

She was still shocked by the rewards of this instance.

"So, so many..."

It was one thing to have many, but most of them were items she had never seen before.

These were all new items beyond the version!

The key was that there was an Ω clearance gift pack, which seemed, appeared, maybe, should... be able to produce a legendary item??

Power 39 watched the messages continuously scrolling up in the group, falling into silence.

He felt like he had missed something important.

Orange Orange Can't Wake Up: "Ghostly Child, come out, wuwu! Post a screenshot to make me drool, please!"

Old Li: "Tsk! It's nothing special!! I, Old Li, am not envious at all!!!"

This Killer Is Not Too Cool looked at the three names on the first-clear announcement, a bit confused: "It's really not a goddess?"

In the villa, Xia Leng holding a book in bed glanced towards Gu Chi's room, her lips curling into a beautiful arc.

Indeed, it wasn't her.

It was her man.

...

Today's 6000 words, the settlement was hard to write, there are a lot of item logics, let me sort it out! Vote for monthly tickets!
