To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Subsequently, the exploration of the plotline continued to ferment, even reaching overseas, sparking widespread discussion and being jokingly referred to as the “first cultural invasion incident.”

Looking at the game that had become completely off-kilter, Fang Cheng didn’t know what to say.

Drinking his tea, he looked up at the sky, feeling that he had taken plenty of preventative measures, but he still couldn’t stop the players’ unrestrained imagination.

The key question is, why are you able to concoct a self-consistent theory entirely through conjecture?

Tang Mo, you were truly underappreciated in this era.

If you had been born two thousand years earlier, there probably wouldn’t have been any need for Christ; you could have brought a major religion into existence on your own.

But it’s also fortunate that you weren’t born two thousand years earlier, or else you would have been hanged.

Despite these sentiments, the game still needed to be reviewed.

Setting up Dustfire, Fang Cheng pulled out the trajectory of its changes, then began to observe at what point the game’s experience had changed.

The settings of Tang Mo were just a beginning; his presence greatly accelerated Dustfire’s transformation, but even without Tang Mo, players would still have caused the game to change.

After reflecting on the causes, Fang Cheng felt that the outcomes were due to multiple factors.

He had underestimated the players’ thirst for knowledge.

Curiosity and the quest for knowledge are human nature, and even when temporarily indulging in comfort, an innate impulse will lead them on the path to seek the truth.

Even if that truth is wrong, they still need an answer, and then they continue to strive upon this answer, eventually working towards the right direction.

The same applied to himself.

If he hadn’t been full of curiosity and longing for ascension, he wouldn’t have chosen this path in gaming, and naturally, so many things would not have occurred.

Having reached this point in his review, Fang Cheng had an epiphany.

Every game he created was an extension of his own thoughts, and unknowingly, he had incorporated his attitude towards the pursuit of knowledge into the games, without realizing it himself.

Upon this realization, Fang Cheng felt as if his Taoist Heart had been slightly mended.

Although it was just a little, this progress on his journey was a rare comfort, giving him some minor consolation.

At least, his efforts this time hadn’t been in vain.

However, his good mood quickly vanished when Xu Qingling turned around and said, “Boss, Chen Rang wants to interview us, are you interested?”

“Interview about what?”

“About the recent stories in Wonderful Universe. He’s planning to write a column, introducing the origins of Wonderful Universe, your personal thoughts, and so on. This interview will be conducted online and will also feature others like Tang Mo and Qian Xiaohao.”

Fang Cheng looked at the invitation speechlessly, feeling like Chen Rang was slapping him in the face.

I’m already this miserable, and you’re still coming over to mock me, what’s your intention?

But upon reflection, he realized there were indeed some benefits to participating; some minor troubles could also be resolved in the process.

Fang Cheng didn’t care much about troubles, but he had now realized that many of his past failures were caused by such minor issues, so it would be wise to nip these small problems in the bud before they grew bigger.

Therefore, he said to Xu Qingling, “Okay, help me arrange it.”

“Got it.”

The next day, Xu Qingling had everything arranged.

To make the meeting more topical, Xu Qingling chose a MOD in “Spirit Vessel” called “Office Online” as the venue.

The MOD was originally created for fun, but after its release, many office workers found it suitable for conducting remote meetings.

“Spirit Vessel” had integrated virtual reality, so if the participants had their own gaming pods, they could preload their real-life appearances and use this MOD to join a designated room number, attending the meeting as if they were physically present.

Moreover, in this MOD, participants could use the virtual computers, virtual projectors, and could even import real-life data into this space to use directly.

The background of the meeting room could also be controlled, and attendees could even hold meetings on train tracks with a train constantly approaching in the distance; even knowing it was fake, it would still make people feel tense, prompting them to speed up and conclude the meeting quickly.

There were many such small applications, indicating that virtual reality technology had begun to slowly move from gaming to reality; and some large corporations had started to lay out their strategies, preparing to take the lead in this new race.

The more they used it, the happier Gao Tianyun became because it meant his dream was gradually coming true—quantum ascension seemed to be not far off!

When Fang Cheng logged into “Office Online,” he found that most of the people had already arrived.

Chen Rang looked at him with anticipation, his business rival Tang Mo was next to Chen Rang, followed by Qian Xiaohao and Eric.

The maid did not come because, after learning there was no overtime pay here, she decisively opted not to participate and went out to work instead.

Apart from these familiar faces, Fang Cheng noticed there was another person present.

A young monk.

When Fang Cheng came online, the young monk gave a gentle smile and said, “Mr. Fang, I have long admired you.”

As the number one hater of Fang Cheng Studio, it hadn’t been easy for Monk Without Heart to get this chance to participate in the visit.

Fortunately, his patron had clout and, after much effort, finally secured a place to discuss the Wonderful Universe.

Of course, the discussion was a pretense—the real goal was to ride the wave of popularity, and if a few broadcasting accidents could be stirred up during the live stream, all the better.

So, his smile became even more brilliant.

Compared to his pleasure, the expressions of those around him were less than thrilled.

To them, Monk Without Heart was like a foul blot of fly excrement that had annoyingly buzzed its way in, revolting even if ignored.

However, Fang Cheng only looked at Monk Without Heart and then said directly, “You’d better leave.”

Monk Without Heart’s expression didn’t change as he responded softly, “Mr. Fang, are you threatening me? Is it because my words don’t please you?”

“Ah, did you ever say such things? I mean, you’d better leave quickly; otherwise, it might be difficult to bring things to a close later.”

Chen Rang, responsible for the live interview, was shocked and quickly said, “Mr. Fang, you can’t say that. I know you dislike this scoundrel who leeches off popularity, but don’t say that during the live broadcast, please.”

“You can beat him up in private if you want.” Tang Mo added his two cents, “Or shall I give you a hand?”

Qian Xiaohao and Eric huddled together, explaining Monk Without Heart’s deeds to Eric, making him realize just how annoying this guy truly was.

Yet, facing the disdainful glares of others, Monk Without Heart became even more self-satisfied.

To be a hater, one needed to have thick skin; if one couldn’t bear the stares of those around, what kind of hater would they be?

Moreover, the more the surrounding people disliked him, the more flaws they would reveal during the live stream, and the better the effect of the broadcast would be.

Later, he could even construct an image of a victim, continuously boosting his popularity.

From the reactions just now, everyone here had quite the temperament. Especially Fang Cheng, the owner of Fang Cheng Studio, who seemed to thoroughly dislike him.

So, as long as he provoked the other party a little during the live broadcast, they would expose their weaknesses, allowing him to directly attack them.

Having figured this out, he didn’t provoke further for the time being and instead sat down to wait for an opportunity to strike.

Chen Rang pretended to adjust the live stream program, while privately messaging Fang Cheng, “Mr. Fang, Monk Without Heart was forced upon us by those above. I could not refuse, sorry.”

“It’s okay, I don’t mind.” Fang Cheng replied succinctly, which made Chen Rang even more uneasy.

After all, Fang Cheng had asked Monk Without Heart to leave as soon as he arrived, setting up a very tense and hostile atmosphere.

In this situation, Chen Rang could already imagine what the scene would be like when the live broadcast officially started.

Internally cursing his superiors, Chen Rang prepared everything and then began today’s live stream.
