Chapter 769: This game is not very serious

"Give me a break!"

Li Feng got up and waved his hand; he was not going to let off anyone who wanted to kill him. A bodyguard followed close by his side.

"Young Master, this game is kind of sinister," said the bodyguard. "To understand it more, we might have to dive in and play it ourselves."

Li Feng thought for a moment, "Hmm, arrange for some people to go in and play."

This Death God Online game did indeed surprise Li Feng. He didn’t expect someone to have such a novel idea to create a game like this.

According to the narration of Crow, the game was in fact a baiting game that also selected players for three roles through various challenges.

The employer.

The source of money, so the people who chose this role had to prove their financial power through certain tasks assigned by the game. It’s safe to say that this was a role only the rich could play.

Rich people often have enemies or competitors, so to what extent would the game tempt them to give it a try?

Even if not everyone would do so, there would definitely be those who would, since, for the rich, money is the least of their concerns—there are plenty of tycoons willing to spend tens to hundreds of millions on game top-ups.

As long as someone is paying, the game has its source of money to propel the main storylines of the other two roles.

The Death God role was akin to a game master, so the main storyline for the Death God was to solve various puzzles and even murder cases. At a later stage, this role might have to plot a murder, undoubtedly that of a Brainpower.

This also selected for psychopaths with dark personalities who naturally would not care about conscience, legality, or illegality, as long as it satisfied their twisted desires.

The last role, Reaper, was the executor, following through on the Death God’s nearly completed employer’s tasks. This role was equivalent to an Assassin, but unlike professional assassins, those who filled this role could be anyone.

Some might not even know what they are doing, thus naturally leaving no clues to track.

As for the Death God Online company itself, they probably didn’t even know what they were actually doing, thinking they were producing a mobile game.

And the person hidden behind the scenes, Li Feng had to admit, was a genius, definitely a Brainpower, manipulating people like pawns in a game.

After taking a shower and changing her clothes, Dong Xin came out and saw Li Feng waiting: "What are you playing?"

"Nothing much, just a game."

Li Feng put away his phone: "I’m coming to your place tonight."

Dong Xin blushed and nodded, and they left the Xinxin Boxing Club. The romance of the night goes without saying.

The next morning after breakfast, Li Feng left Dong Xin’s place.

"Eh, did you get beaten up?"

At Myth Communication, Jiang Linda looked at the bruises on Li Feng’s face, which seemed quite severe. Li Feng rolled his eyes, not bothering to explain.

"How’s the delisting process going?"

"It’s been submitted and currently going through the proceedings."

"Hmm, keep an eye on it."

Li Feng stated, and Jiang Linda nodded: "Oh, by the way, we’ve received quite a few invitations."

"Decline them."

Li Feng waved them off without considering his current state. Could he even show his face like this? Jiang Linda shrugged, criticizing inwardly how despite his wealth, Li Feng was still brawling like some street hoodlum.

Returning to his office, Li Feng picked up his phone again and opened the Death God Online game he had downloaded before.

Li Feng directly chose the Death God role and entered it. The first level was a murder scene, with some content tips inside. The whole level was like an episode from Detective Conan, challenging players to catch the killer and deduce the murder method.

From this, the game was nothing more than a puzzle-solving game, nothing special. Li Feng quickly cleared the level and moved on to the next.

Continuing like this, Li Feng progressed to the tenth level where the game started to change. A congratulatory message popped up, praising him and promoting him to an apprentice Death God.

Upon becoming an apprentice Death God, the main task also changed from solving crimes to plotting them.

Seeing this, Li Feng roughly understood the game’s routine, using crime-solving puzzles to filter out those with a sharp logic and thinking, and those who liked this type of puzzle-solving often had a dark side to their inner selves.

Thereafter, the game dug into that darkness and, through gameplay, led players unconsciously into its depths.

Li Feng kept playing; after completing his design, the murder puzzle he had designed was added to the puzzle bank. If no one solved it within an hour, he would receive a reward of one hundred yuan, and if it took three hours, the reward would be two hundred yuan.

By that logic, if no one could solve it within a day, he could earn a thousand yuan, with the amount accumulating. The maximum time limit set was a week—if still unsolved, a reward of ten thousand yuan was granted.

If the puzzle was solved, the accumulated prize money was divided in half, with half going to the designer and half to the solver.

Money is motivation, no doubt spurring continuous gameplay. You could imagine that the more the game was played, the more a person’s desire swelled. With increasing rewards, you would unconsciously become a Death God.

Your traps would become reality without you even realizing it, perhaps already too entangled to escape.

Terrifying.

Li Feng didn’t continue; he played the game only to find the mastermind behind it. Going further as a Death God clearly wouldn’t work, and as for at the Reaper, even less so. These so-called Reapers were, in Li Feng’s view, nothing more than pawns awaiting commands—

the cheapest of the three roles.

Li Feng exited the game and re-selected the employer role. The employer’s challenges were downright crude.

The task was simply one: flaunt wealth.

Right, the main career quest for the employer was to show off. The first task was to take a photo of one’s car logo while sitting inside it.

To prevent cheating, there were several requirements, such as having a watch and making a specific hand gesture, with time limits set for the task.

Tsk.

Pretty playful, huh?

Li Feng stood up and walked out of the office, heading straight for the elevator. Chu Shiyu saw a blur dart past, and then only Li Feng’s retreating figure.

"Just started work and already leaving?"

Chu Shiyu smacked her lips, but she was used to it by now. Li Feng arrived downstairs, took a screenshot following the task requirements, and uploaded it.

The task was quickly approved.

The next mission popped up.

Li Feng saw the second task’s prompt and cursed out loud; this game was slightly too improper.
