The game''s mechanical voice echoed in everyone''s ears, and in front of every spectator, the game screen instantly ended.


    [Game Over. Please visit other ongoing games or look forward to the next game.]


    [Welcome to Chosen''s Paradise, where you too can become a player.]


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


    Watching this exhilarating Hell-level difficulty game, everyone was thrilled.


    [That was intense. I thought I''d watch a few more game instances, but once I got here, I couldn''t leave. I didn''t expect there to be such people in the world now.]


    [I didn''t really get it in the end. Was that a perfect clearance? Why did people agree to his allocation method?]


    [Go play upstairs, with that level of intelligence, let''s not get involved in this game.]


    [Why does he always wear a mask? I want to see what he looks like. If he showed his face, he''d probably become an internet celebrity quickly!]


    [...]


    Even though the game had ended, everyone was still reluctant to leave, discussing fervently in the now blacked-out live stream room.


    From start to finish, the number of people watching Lu Ce''s game had reached tens of thousands, and a large portion didn''t want to leave once they arrived.


    Even among the many perfect-clear players, Lu Ce was the most captivating, fulfilling the public''s fantasy of a new world.


    Of course, most people''s comments were incredibly naive, still thinking about fame and internet celebrity status, feeling proud because they were from the same country.


    But given the large number of people, hidden among the foolish majority were also quite a few with ulterior motives.


    On the laptop in front of Blank, dozens of documents were open, recording all the 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 content!


    Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.


    After Lu Ce ended the live stream, Blank immediately went to other live streams to continue gathering intelligence.


    But in his mind, he kept replaying Lu Ce''s previous performance and his various actions.


    "With such a mindset, possessing power that clearly exceeds human limits, and having a mentality that completely disregards pain and fear..."


    "The game has just begun, and there are already players of this caliber..."


    "How many more such strong players are there..."


    Blank''s heart was filled with excitement, worry, and awe.


    As the game progresses, there will surely soon be individuals in the world who can influence global situations single-handedly.


    The world is just a game!


    At the same time, various official and domestic and foreign organizations were also observing the live stream and watching Lu Ce.


    "Record this: erratic personality, immense strength, suspected mental illness, no fear of pain, even a longing for it."


    "Speaks Mandarin, should be from China, which should be considered a good thing..."


    "Backup all data, highest confidentiality level, send to the Secretariat!"


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


    Not to mention where this suddenly appearing world game came from, just these top-tier players might become strategic assets in the future.


    We must find them first, guide, cooperate... or rather, control!


    In the unseen corners of the world, turbulent undercurrents have always been surging.


    ...


    Meanwhile, on Lu Ce''s side, he entered the game settlement interface, listening to his game settlement and looking at what he gained from this trip.


    [Game Over!]


    [Number of Participants:]


    [Completion Count:]


    [Perfect Clearance Count: 7529!]


    [Your Clearance Rating: SSS Rank, Perfect Clearance! Current Consecutive Perfect Clearances: 2]


    [Reward Settlement in Progress...]


    [Special Event Triggered: Guided and caused a game bug, received Achievement Badge: System Attacker (Epic).]


    [Special Event Triggered: Due to personal reasons, caused a game retest, received enhanced final reward!]


    [This Round''s Reward Points: 8800!]


    [This Round''s Reward Items: Intermediate Healing Potion*5, Advanced Healing Potion*3, Game Exit Token*1, Epic Weapon Lottery Ticket*2, Random Sealed Artifact Lottery Ticket*1, Special Skill Lottery Ticket*1]


    [This Round''s Special Reward: Awakening of the Soul, Personal "Soul"+1, Note: Soul is the foundation for mastering various special skills.]


    Looking at the list of benefits in front of him, Lu Ce was quite satisfied.


    The Chosen''s Paradise is definitely an opportunity not to be missed; whether it''s the Pain Value or the in-game rewards, they are enough to rapidly increase his strength.


    The next phase of the world''s great change is often great chaos! He must enhance his strength as much as possible before that day arrives.


    Wearing a mask to wreak havoc, but it''s best not to be targeted when the mask is off. A man without sin may be guilty of having a treasure; the growth of his strength will certainly be seen as a threat by some...


    "Let''s take a look at the benefits in the backpack; these things are quite a lot."


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


    Including what he extorted, his points had already reached.


    He didn''t know what this concept was, but it must not be low.


    As for weapons, aside from the unused lottery tickets, he only had the Sharp One he acquired this time. The weapon level wasn''t high, but it suited him well enough for now.


    As for the two badges, they should be the main features that distinguish Lu Ce from other players, as they are both triggered by special events.


    [God Slayer (Legendary)]


    [Effect Bonus: When facing high-level attacks, immune to all effects except direct damage. In same-level attack determination, your effect takes precedence.]


    [System Attacker (Epic)]


    [Effect Bonus: Cracking or guiding game loopholes will yield higher-level rewards.]


    Lu Ce didn''t know the limit for wearing badges, but since they had bonuses, he decided to wear them for now.


    As for the newly obtained Game Exit Token, the description was simple:


    [Exit Token: Allows forced exit from the game, cost: all items, abilities, and points obtained from the game are reset to zero!]


    [Description: Cowards can save their lives, but don''t expect the benefits of the strong.]


    A pure life-saving item...


    After looking at various descriptions, he decided not to use the lottery tickets for now, and Lu Ce left the game.


    The same dizziness, the same opening of his eyes from the bed, only this time, as he opened his eyes, the game''s voice suddenly echoed in his mind.


    This voice also appeared in the ears of every Chosen One.


    [Chosen''s Paradise, the first official game has ended.]


    [Special Notification, informing all Chosen Ones, function activation, ranking preview.]
