Chapter 578: Chapter 183: What does it mean to be written into textbooks? I’ll freaking write a textbook myself!_1

Under normal circumstances,

Josiah, in the first round of the second level, had acquired the combination of Divine Wind and Bomberman, and began to bomb everything in sight with reckless abandon.

He was having a blast, and so were the viewers watching the chaos unfold.

Having restarted the game with a copied seed, his goal was to use the same tactic and push through to the third level.

After all, when it comes to RNG games, you never know what you are going to encounter next, so cherish every playthrough.

Just when everyone thought the second level had been conquered once and offered no more surprises or points of interest,

this game...

started to unfold in a way that took everyone by complete surprise!

The whole turn of events originated from a slightly different angle of explosion compared to the first game.

In Josiah’s first game, after picking up Bomberman to test the power, Josiah went to a small room in the top-right corner of the map which he had not explored before.

Upon entering, several Blood Tears Isaacs rushed him and were blown to bits under a furious spacebar attack.

After testing the power and seeing the room was pretty much destroyed, Josiah also checked for any hidden rooms.

Receiving a negative, he happily proceeded to the BOSS.

But in this round,

It was the same room,

yet the position where Josiah bombed the Blood Tears Isaacs had changed.

As a result, the range of the bomb’s explosion had also shifted.

A rock, unaffected in the previous game, was blown away in this round.

Instantly, a new secret tunnel entrance appeared before everyone!

"What’s this?" Josiah’s gaze froze momentarily.

He remembered this didn’t exist in the last game.

"Could it be that I missed blowing this up last time?"

Without dwelling on it,

since this game was still fresh for him and he had the safety of the seed, he was not afraid of any mishaps.

He leapt into the new dungeon without hesitation.

What appeared before him wasn’t the prompt to pass to the next level,

but a room like a tunnel.

After climbing down the ladder, he saw an item placed in the tunnel,

its icon depicting flames embracing a heart.

Upon picking it up, the effect’s description popped up.

[Pyromaniac]

Effect: Character is completely immune to explosive/fire damage

Additional effect: Character heals one red heart upon taking explosive damage.

...

Upon seeing its effects, Josiah was stunned for a good few seconds before he exclaimed in disbelief,

"What the fuck???"

The whole streaming audience simultaneously spammed question marks in the chat.

Everyone knew Divine Wind Gloves were powerful early in the game,

but they also had a problem.

It wasn’t a good idea to mindlessly hit spacebar.

You had to manage your health pickups carefully; too many bombs and not enough health drops meant certain death.

Josiah had died in the first game because of this.

But unexpectedly, the appearance of Pyromaniac perfectly compensated for Divine Wind’s flaw...

Divine Wind would cause an explosion, then Pyromaniac would make it immune to the damage and even heal him...

Invincible, he was now effectively invincible!!

"Oh fuck!! I can’t hold back any longer! I’m going to start rampaging now! Killing everything!!" Josiah roared as he jumped out of the dungeon and rushed toward the BOSS Room!

When the Candy Gourd Snake BOSS emerged from the ground, Josiah was not panicked in the slightest, and he even felt a bit amused.

The following attack shifted from BOSS chasing player to player chasing BOSS.

Josiah ran after it, furiously mashing the spacebar,

Face me, punk!

The second level, which took him two to three minutes in the last round, was obliterated in less than 15 seconds with Josiah’s relentless keyboard assault this time!

This scene had the streaming audience completely exhilarated.

Even Kate and Conna, who were also watching the stream, exchanged a look of surprise after seeing Josiah’s speedrun,

While neither of them spoke,

they both knew perfectly well.

This game... looked like it might be quite fun.

Just moments ago being chased around by the BOSS, everything turned around in the next instant upon finding another item in the dungeon, which when combined caused a drastic change.

The feeling of turning the tides against the wind was indeed thrilling.

And as the entire stream’s chat was buzzing about the Divine Wind + Pyromaniac combo, lamenting ’Give me 10 bucks to play this’,

what the BOSS dropped left everyone stunned.

It was a bright red mushroom, looking very much like the Super Mushroom from "Mario".

Upon consumption, it provided nearly comprehensive buffs.

But that wasn’t the key point.

The point was,

"Why do I remember it wasn’t this thing just a moment ago?" Josiah wondered aloud.

"Wasn’t the seed supposed to generate the same items every time? In that case, the BOSS should have dropped breakfast, a box of spoiled milk, right?"

"How did it turn into a goddamn mushroom?"

The confusion mainly stemmed from the conflicting nature of the seed’s settings.

The seed itself represents consistency, something players rely on to experience the same thrilling game sessions.

But within this seed... the items had been altered.

Especially since... everything had appeared as expected until now.

The first level gave Onion Head, then Technology, and Lunch.

The second level brought Divine Wind, Bomberman, and Breakfast.

But in this game, while everything else remained the same, it was specifically at the Breakfast item that things
