The game's mechanical voice rang in everyone's ears. For every viewer, the game screen before their eyes instantly ended.

The game has ended. Please visit other games still in progress, or look forward to the next game.

Chosen Paradise welcomes you to become players as well.

After Lu Ce's game ended, the viewers who had been watching it saw the same two lines appear before them.

Having watched this exhilarating hell-difficulty game, everyone cried out in satisfaction.

:That was brutal. I originally wanted to watch a few more game instances, but once I came here, I couldn't leave. I never expected people like this to really exist in the world now.

:I still didn't understand it even at the end. That counted as a perfect clear? Why did people agree to his distribution method?

:The guy above should go play something else. With that level of intelligence, don't get involved in this game.

:Why does he keep wearing a mask?! I want to see what he looks like! If he showed his face, he'd probably become an internet celebrity in no time!

Even though the game before them had ended, everyone remained reluctant to leave, discussing it wildly in the livestream room that had already gone black.

From beginning to end, the number of people watching Lu Ce's game had reached tens of thousands, and a large portion of them had no desire to leave once they arrived.

Even among the many players who had achieved perfect clears, Lu Ce was one of the most captivating, satisfying the public's fantasies about the new world.

Of course, most people's comments were still incredibly naive. They talked about fame, internet celebrity status, and took pride in sharing the same country as him.

But with so many people, there were naturally quite a few individuals with ulterior motives hidden among the foolish majority.

Dozens of documents were open on Blank's laptop, recording all kinds of intelligence he had gathered during this game.

This included game types, categories, various undisclosed information, and powerful players.

Among them, the document titled "a player wearing a blue mask" had the most words and the most content!

After Lu Ce ended his livestream, Blank immediately went to other livestream rooms to continue gathering intelligence.

Yet Lu Ce's earlier performance kept replaying in his mind, flashes of his every action passing through his thoughts.

"With that kind of mind, strength that had clearly surpassed humanity, and a temperament that completely disregarded pain and fear..."

"The game has only just begun, yet players of this caliber have already appeared..."

"How many more powerful people like him are there..."

Blank felt excitement, worry, and reverence in his heart.

As the game developed, individuals capable of influencing the world's situation through their own strength alone would surely soon emerge.

The world was a game!

At the same time, personnel from major official organizations, both domestic and foreign, were also watching the livestreams and observing Lu Ce.

"Record this. Unhinged personality, immense strength, suspected mental illness, completely fearless of pain, perhaps even yearning for it."

"He speaks Mandarin. He should indeed be Chinese. That should count as a good thing..."

"Back up all materials. Highest confidentiality level. Send them to the Secretariat!"

"Observe! Analyze! Find a way to locate him!"

Setting aside where this suddenly appearing world game had come from, these top-tier players alone would likely become strategic assets in the future.

They had to find them first, guide them, cooperate with them... or rather, control them!

In corners of the world unseen by others, turbulent undercurrents continued to surge.

On Lu Ce's side, he entered the game settlement interface, listening to his settlement results and looking over what he had gained from this journey.

Game over! Number of participants in this game: Number of finishers: Number of perfect clears: 7529! Your clear rating: SSS Grade, perfect clear! Current consecutive perfect clears: 2 Rewards being calculated... Special event triggered: Guided and caused an in-game bug. Achievement Badge obtained: System Attacker (Epic). Special event triggered: Due to personal reasons, caused an additional game test. Enhanced final reward obtained! Points rewarded this time: 8800! Items rewarded this time: Intermediate Recovery Potion*5, Advanced Recovery Potion*3, Exit Coin*1, Epic Grade Weapon Lottery Ticket*2, Random Sealed Item Lottery Ticket*1, Special Skill Lottery Ticket*1 Special reward this time: Spirit Awakening. Personal "Spirit" +1. Note: Spirit is the foundation for mastering all kinds of special skills.

Looking at the rows upon rows of benefits before him, Lu Ce was quite satisfied.

The Chosen Game was absolutely an opportunity he could not miss. Whether it was Pain Value or in-game rewards, both were enough to make his strength grow rapidly.

The next stage after a drastic change in the world was often great chaos! Before that day arrived, he had to increase his strength as much as possible.

Wearing a mask and slaughtering in all directions was one thing, but after taking it off, it was better not to draw anyone's attention. A man was innocent, but possessing a jade made him guilty. The growth of his power would certainly be viewed as a threat by some people...

"Let's take a look at the goodies in my inventory first. There really are quite a lot of these things."

He opened his game inventory and looked at the items inside.

Including what he had extorted, his points had reached .

He had no idea what kind of figure that was, but it probably wasn't low.

As for weapons, aside from the lottery tickets he had yet to use, he only had Sharp One, which he had seized this time. Its weapon grade was not high, but it suited him fairly well, so using it for now was fine.

As for the two badges, they should be the main feature distinguishing Lu Ce from other players, since both had been triggered by special events.

God Slayer (Legendary) Effect Bonus: When facing attacks of a higher rank, you are immune to all effects other than direct damage. When attacks of the same rank are judged, your effects take priority. System Attacker (Epic) Effect Bonus: Cracking or guiding game loopholes will yield higher-grade rewards.

Lu Ce did not know the limit on how many badges he could equip, but since they gave bonuses, he decided to wear them for now.

As for the newly obtained Exit Coin, its description was very simple:

Exit Coin: Can forcibly leave a game. Cost: All items, abilities, and points obtained from the game will be reset to zero! Description: Cowards can preserve their lives, but do not dream of the benefits enjoyed by the strong.

Purely a life-saving item...

After looking over the various descriptions, Lu Ce decided not to use the lottery tickets for the time being and left the game.

The same dizziness came over him, and he opened his eyes from his bed again. Only this time, the game's voice suddenly sounded in his mind as he opened them.

That voice also appeared beside the ears of every Chosen One.

Chosen Paradise's first official game has ended. Special notice to all Chosen Ones: Features unlocked, ranking preview.
