To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Together, they cleared the land’s soil of diseased qi and eradicated the Disease Beasts that plagued the world.

With Mukuai’s presence, the terrifying and bizarre game scenery became incredibly warm and even made Chen Rang feel as if crossing over wouldn’t be such a bad idea.

As their journey progressed, new spells were slowly unlocked, and merit began to multiply, which could be used for upgrades to enhance his abilities.

Moreover, the amount of merit previously earned at certain levels granted him new Divine Skills, adding a fresh twist to the game experience.

The intense feedback and scenes so realistic made this design deeply engaging even without VR equipment, and with it, only more addictive.

And this was just the tutorial content!

According to Mukuai’s explanation, they were only in Lost Valley; outside, there were towns, cities, and even the legendary ruins.

The outside world was bigger, with greater challenges and more expansive landscapes.

Black seas churned, dead leviathans floated in the sky, colossal skeletons reaped the lives of creatures, and puppets infected by diseased qi moved across the ground.

But there were also mountains and lakes; unyielding people and cunning bandits.

The world was already sick, but it still had a breath left in it.

So, go and save the world, healers!

Just as Chen Rang’s blood was boiling with excitement and he wanted to continue, Mukuai suddenly stopped.

Looking into the distance with a grave expression, she regretfully said, “I’m sorry, I can’t continue with you.”

“Why!” Chen Rang yelled anxiously, “Did some plot get triggered? Is it the parting scene next? Fang Cheng, you can’t be so melodramatic! Tell me, how much do you want to change the plot? Fifty thousand, a hundred thousand?”

“No, according to the Great Heavenly Lord’s notice, each healer’s experience time is only one hour. So, you have to go back.”

“Go back where?”

Mukuai helplessly said to Chen Rang, “Back to reality, you haven’t forgotten that you’re actually a stranger here, right?”

“Don’t make me leave, I want to stay here forever!”

“Sorry, goodbye.”

“Wait, did I really play for an hour? It only felt like a few minutes! I want to file a complaint!”

At that moment, the screen went dark, and Chen Rang frantically tried to grab onto something, sadly unable to catch anything.

Someone removed his VR helmet, someone unbuckled his safety belt, someone led him out of the all-in-one cabin, and then hastily took his place.

Only then did Chen Rang notice that outside Fang Cheng Studio, a long line had formed.

Three more VR all-in-one machines were brought in, each with external equipment broadcasting the player’s performance inside.

A huge crowd of players, drawn by the game’s reputation, packed the place so tightly that what should have been the least popular spot had become the exhibition hall’s hottest attraction.

“Have none of you ever played a game before!”

After muttering a curse, Chen Rang grumpily and grudgingly rejoined the queue.

Standing in the crowd and looking at the eager players around him, Chen Rang even felt a bit of superiority.

I’ve already played for an hour!

I’m a second round player!

Due to the sheer number of people, the experience time was reduced from the initial one hour to half an hour, and eventually, to only ten minutes.

But even so, the crowd showed no signs of diminishing.

They watched the external screens without blinking, and even after seeing the same ten minutes dozens of times, they were still captivated.

The dense crowd finally drew the attention of the event organizers, and after understanding the situation, they made a decision.

To open a new exhibition area.

An area previously used as a temporary storage was immediately cleared out, and twelve new VR all-in-one machines were brought in and installed with “The Healer” for public use.

This spectacle lasted until five in the afternoon, and just when the event organizers considered extending the closing time further, Fang Cheng made an announcement.

Sorry, we’re off work now.
