After a flash of white light, the surrounding scenery changes, and you enter the next level.
It seems that as long as she completes the game's progression, she can still finish the game and won't be stuck in one game forever.
Most importantly, Su Muyue stayed by her side this time and they didn't get separated. Su Deng breathed a sigh of relief and began to examine the checkpoint.
She no longer had the game system, didn't know what the game tasks were, and her player name above her head had disappeared.
However, she can still see the names above other players' heads.
As Su Deng walked through the game, she felt that she and Su Muyue were now like two NPCs who had awakened and broken free from the control of the storyline.
But it's good, I'm free and easy.
The only downside was that without points to exchange for in-game currency, the two of them would stand in front of a food stall, staring at each other when they got hungry.
"Su Deng?"
Just as Su Deng was thinking about whether to have Su Muyue act cute towards the stall owner or do some work in exchange for food, a hesitant soft shout suddenly came from behind her.
Su Deng turned her head; she was a woman at least thirty years old, with a unique player-identified name on her head—
Jia Ru.
She didn't know him.
"It really is you." Jia Ru was delighted, looking at the two of them, then at the small stall in front of them, radiating a kind aura. "Are you hungry?"
She smiled and said to the stall owner, "Two snacks, please."
Afterwards, he opened his game control panel, exchanged some gold coins in his warehouse that could be used in this game instance, and handed them to Su Deng.
Su Deng didn't answer or say anything, she just looked at her.
Jia Ru paused for a moment, then said, "I am a player from a D-level other world. If it weren't for you causing the rules to malfunction and allowing all the remaining players to complete the game, I would already be dead."
That was a long time ago, and Su Deng didn't remember this person, but she still wanted to thank him. Su Deng reached out and took the gold coins, "Thank you."
Jia Ru shook her head and smiled, "I hope we can all be lucky and get out alive again."
Su Deng's eyes were clear. "Yes, I will."
After a pause, Jia Ru continued, "If you want to rebel against the Divine Court, you are definitely not alone. As long as you stand there, many of us players will stand by your side and become your allies."
Clearly, she had also experienced the ghost bride storyline and even knew about the fantastical and distant things that the executives talked about in public.
When Jia Ru said this, her eyes were serious and gentle, like a mother looking at her child. "But more importantly, you have to be happy and be yourself without being affected by anything."
In the real world, corporate slaves work hard, listen to their bosses' lectures, be careful in their conduct, feel suppressed to the point of madness, yet still have to abide by the law; very few people are truly free.
If you can't be happy and free in this game world without any rules, what's the point?
"Take care." Jia Ru patted Su Muye's head, said goodbye to Su Deng, and turned to walk towards the checkpoint.
Su Deng remained silent for a long time before handing the gold coins to Su Muye to keep. She then took the two servings of snacks prepared by the stall owner, ate one serving each, and followed him toward the checkpoint.
The world setting for this level is an endless city wall, somewhat like the Great Wall in the real world, only taller. There are checkpoints at each node, and players must solve puzzles to pass through.
At this point, there are at least 20 players at the first node.
Su Deng led Su Muye to sit down to the side, watching them solve puzzles and pass challenges while eating snacks, leisurely as if they were watching a play.
All players: "..."
Some players with malicious intent tried to kill her, but Su Deng drew her sword and met them in a fierce battle, defeating them. She then continued sitting to the side, eating and watching other players fight over the divine materials dropped by the slain player. The whole process could be summed up in two words—
grace.
All players: "..."
