Chapter 26 This newcomer from Komaku Village... has he become a god?!
Holding up the small torch, crudely made from a piece of wood, Yu Naixin was now the sole focus of everyone's attention in the entire Cocoon Village.
The thick fog that had enveloped Cocoon Village like the sky suddenly began to flow violently, bringing with it a violent wind that seemed to cause the heavens to collapse and the earth to split open, and the distant rumble of thunder could be faintly heard.
After nearly a hundred years of so-called "divine punishment," this is the first time that the village of Cocoon has experienced such a dramatic change.
And this scene, centered on Yu Naixin, swept across the entire sky in an instant.
【?!?!?!?!】
[What happened all of a sudden?! I don't think I left the live stream, so how did it turn out like this?!]
[Who the hell has ever seen anything like this?! What the hell was this newcomer doing?!]
[Holy crap? Holy crap?! This newcomer... has he become a god?!]
【A newcomer? A god-like figure?! Don't you find it ridiculous to put these two words together?!】
Yu Naixin could feel that as she completed those tasks and accepted the new identity she needed to play in her heart, an extremely vast yet extremely unstable energy gathered into her body from all directions in the opposite direction of the flowing fog.
To be honest, this feeling of "becoming a god" isn't very good.
It felt as if two opposing armies of millions of people had suddenly invaded her body, waging a fierce and relentless war. Yu Naixin felt that the connections between every cell in her body were about to disappear, and she was on the verge of bursting and collapsing at any moment.
This is a force that an ordinary human body cannot forcibly withstand.
However, Yu Naixin was certain that she could hold on for a few more minutes.
That's about enough.
Struggling to balance the power within her body, Yu Naixin looked up at the increasingly dense fog and whispered, "...It's time to disperse."
The dense, gray fog seemed to have been erased the moment Yu Naixin finished speaking; it dissipated layer by layer, gradually fading until it finally disappeared completely.
Above the village of Komaku, the original azure blue of the sky finally came into view.
The cocoon that once bound everything and everyone in this world has finally been broken.
[My goodness... has this newbie temporarily seized the authority of an existing deity within the instance?!]
【What?! Is this even possible?! Is this even possible?!】
[This is unheard of, no one could have even imagined it! How did she do it?!]
When will "Heartbeat 1000%" release a live stream replay feature?! I feel like I've missed watching at least a hundred episodes!
In the village of Cocoon, the villagers, who were huddled together in a chaotic manner, couldn't help but look up at the blue sky they had never seen before.
Then, these sallow-faced, emaciated, and ragged villagers, like the gray fog, faded away, their faces and figures becoming blurred and disappearing into nothingness.
After becoming a mountain god, Yu Naixin also acquired a lot of new information in her mind without any instruction.
This aligns with Yu Naixin's previous understanding of the dating reality show "Heartbeat 1000%": once certain permissions are unlocked, regardless of how long those permissions last, relevant information can be obtained.
Yu Naixin then learned that program venues like Cocoon Village were actually specially "created," and apart from the guest characters, all other characters could be referred to as NPCs.
They are not real living beings, but more like AI programs that have been programmed to guide the program guests and convey rules and information; they are essentially tools.
This brought Yu Naixin some comfort.
After all, Yu Naixin had always kept the matter of Da Niu and his mother in her heart.
Not only all the villagers, but everything in Cocoon Village—the paper boy's tailor shop, the white bone scholar's house, and all those simple, old, and monotonous buildings—all disappeared.
Yu Naixin looked down at her feet. A small hill, higher than the surrounding area, had replaced the original altar. Her wedding attire was still there, but the bride's wedding dress that she had taken off was nowhere to be seen. The bonfire that had taken four or five people to encircle was now just a black mark.
The crude torch in his hand had also vanished without a trace.
The entire area where Cocoon Village was located has become an empty wasteland. Whether it was the warm lights that Yu Naixin saw when she first met her, or all the unpredictable events that followed, they have all vanished into nothingness.
Only Yu Naixin and three male guests remained, serving as the sole proof that everything had existed and happened here.
[What the hell?! How much longer am I going to be shocked in this live stream?! Did she just completely clear the dungeon?!]
[The entire venue is so clean, it must be a perfect cleansing! Holy crap, when was the last time I saw a perfectly cleansed instance?!]
[Starting with a choice of three options, including a Domain Lord among the three dungeon guests, temporarily achieving godhood, and completing the dungeon perfectly... This newbie would have been ridiculously lucky to accomplish even one of these, but she actually did them all?!]
Is she even human?!
The live stream room was completely buzzing with excitement.
Within just a few minutes of Yu Naixin becoming the "Mountain God," the live stream, which was originally at the bottom of the popularity chart, jumped to the middle and upper ranks of the popularity chart like a firecracker being lit, and even showed a clear upward trend.
The soaring popularity attracted even more viewers, and once they saw what was happening in the live stream, they couldn't help but join the veteran viewers in the frenzy.
Without exception.
Am I really not dreaming?! No, even in my dreams I could never have such an unbelievable dream!
Where did the production team find such a divine being?!
[This newcomer... ugh, I feel like calling her a newcomer is a bit disrespectful. If this new big shot can grow smoothly, she'll definitely be a top-tier guest with a name and a reputation in the future! There's a high chance she'll get the title after just five episodes!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 80 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Let Me See If There Are Any Good Potential"!]
Even though I've been watching since the beginning of the show, I'm still stunned. I knew she was amazing, but I never imagined she could be this incredible!
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 65 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Guess If I Guess or Not"!]
[She left for a while, and when she came back, everything was like this... This female guest is amazing, she's really taken unconventional tactics to the extreme... I'm increasingly looking forward to seeing how far she'll go in the future.]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 300 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Is There Still Hope?"!]
Yu Naixin hadn't expected to hear the program's alarm bells ringing so frequently, like a summer downpour, at this time.
Based on her previous experiences, she knew that she had to have some intimate interactions with the male guests in order to receive "sweet coins" from the audience.
Whether it's verbal intimacy or flirtation, or physical contact and entanglement, there must always be direct interaction with the male guest.
Yu Naixin received the most frequent and largest amount of tips during the time she was near death in the simulator, when she and the male guest were already physically intimate.
But now, what male guests are there for her to do?
Even without listening to every single one carefully, Yu Naixin could tell that the frequency and amount of Sweet Coins she received this time were much higher than before she died.
Yu Naixin especially remembered the viewer ID "Is there still hope?" who directly tipped her 300 yuan.
However, time was of the essence, so Yu Naixin didn't waste too much energy on these doubts and questions.
While she still held the identity of a mountain goddess, she turned to the skeleton scholar and said, "Now that you have fulfilled all my requests, it is time to accept my blessing."
"Go, you can leave Cocoon Village and return to your homeland."
Like the villagers, the White Bone Scholar couldn't help but look up at the newly cleared sky as the thick fog dissipated.
This was a scene he hadn't seen for nearly a hundred years.
The white-boned scholar stood there, lost in thought, until he heard Yu Naixin's voice, which jolted him awake.
Yu Naixin did tell him that as long as he behaved well, she would not be stingy with rewards.
Before this, the White Bone Scholar had never taken this statement seriously. Even when Yu Naixin was toying with him time and time again, he was only holding on to himself with a faint, almost negligible hope in his heart.
After all, he had no other choice.
But now, reality, more powerful than any verbal promise, tells him that his hopes have not been dashed.
Although she did not meet his hunting conditions, she used another method to achieve his ultimate wish.
Yu Naixin truly keeps her word.
His long-cherished wish, which he had cherished for nearly a hundred years, was finally fulfilled.
The white-boned scholar trembled violently, almost losing his balance.
"Thank you... thank you Miss Yu..." The White Bone Scholar's voice trembled uncontrollably, and he was completely incoherent. "This humble student... this humble student thanks Miss Yu!"
[Congratulations, female guest! The male guest "White Bone Scholar" has reached 100% favorability towards you!]
You will receive additional generous rewards during the settlement process after this program ends!
Another positive announcement; the viewers in the live stream are almost numb to it.
[I really learned something new in this live stream today. I never knew a show guest could win the favor of two co-hosts in one episode?]
[Other dungeons offer a choice between two options at the start, and occasionally you might see a dungeon with only one guest character, but that's impossible!]
[I was stunned! The female guest actually remembered this?! Good heavens, I'm more shocked than a skeleton! I thought those promises were just jokes, but she actually kept them?!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 9 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Pure Love Never Gives Up"!]
[Isn't this a two-way street?!]
[Congratulations to the female guest on the show "Heartbeat 1000%"! You have received 12 Sweet Coins from a viewer with the ID "Awoo Yikou"!]
The water bucket in the white-boned scholar's hand had long since disappeared. He looked around and, even though he couldn't recognize the direction at all, he staggered and ran away into the distance.
When he first arrived at Cocoon Village, the Bone Scholar was carrying the baggage of his journey to take the imperial examination. Now, leaving Cocoon Village, he has no burdens left but his bones.
He can go home now!
He can see his parents, brothers and sisters!
However, the moment he finally stepped out of the Cocoon Village, the White Bone Scholar suddenly stopped.
A moment of bewilderment appeared on the skull's face, followed by a sorrowful realization.
He has been away from his hometown for a hundred years.
How could my parents, brothers, and sisters still be alive?
In a daze, the White Bone Scholar recalled Yu Naixin's cold and indifferent words to him: "Your family members have long since turned into a handful of dust, haven't they?"
yes……
Starting from his foot bones, the skeleton scholar's body slowly turned into dust and ashes.
A handful of yellow earth... Where is it now?
Not only his family, but he himself should have died long ago...
The moment he accepted his ultimate fate, the White Bone Scholar became calm.
Even in the underworld, it can be considered a reunion.
But before he actually left, the White Bone Scholar remembered something. He turned his head and saw Yu Naixin's figure in the distance.
Miss Yu seemed to have said that she wanted him to carve a set of mahjong tiles for her out of his bones.
He was powerless against a whole set of mahjong tiles, but...
The white-boned scholar raised his hand and summoned his circular, emerald-green jade pendant.
After learning that Yu Naixin would not accept the jade pendant, the white-boned scholar was disheartened and carelessly discarded it in his house.
These objects imbued with spiritual power will not disappear with the vanishing of Cocoon Village. As long as the master, the White Bone Scholar, summons them with his spiritual power, he can obtain them again.
The jade pendant floated to the White Bone Scholar's feet, and then, following his wishes, transformed into a stream of emerald light and merged into his body.
The next second, Yu Naixin heard the voice of the White Bone Scholar, which was filled with laughter and sighs: "Miss Yu, please accept my humble gift."
