Qinling Command Center.
On the big screen, the data stream was scrolling wildly.
Chen You recounted what had happened in the game.
Lin Miao stood quietly to the side.
Li Guoan stood in front of the control panel, his hands resting on the table, his gaze fixed on Chen You.
"Do you feel like something's not right?" Li Guoan asked.
Chen You thought for a moment, "Which aspect are you referring to?"
Li Guoan pulled out a chair and sat down, tapping his fingers on the table.
"I have a feeling that the Source System is targeting you."
Chen You was stunned for a moment.
Tactical team leader Zhang Yunhai chimed in, "Last time in the City of Gods, we deliberately wasted your time."
"Looking at this time, from the changes in the competition format to the selection of new referees, it's clear that the Source Realm doesn't want you to win."
"So, the system did this on purpose to target me?" Chen You pointed to his nose, his eyes wide.
He also felt that he was being targeted, but he never considered whether there was another purpose behind it.
Zhang Yunhai nodded, his tone resolute, "The Origin Realm is not a rigid piece of code; it's more like a massive consciousness with self-correcting capabilities."
"You've been stirring things up inside all this time, exploiting loopholes in the rules to gain a lot of benefits, and even changing the plot of the NPCs."
Zhang Yunhai paused, staring at Chen You: "The system has detected your abnormality, and it is trying to suppress you through means within the rules."
Chen You gasped.
He's just an ordinary office worker, working himself to the bone in the game, isn't he just working for the country?
How did it become a thorn in the side of higher-dimensional systems?
"Director Li!" Chen You turned around abruptly. "If I go back in, won't I get struck by lightning?"
Li Guoan's lips twitched.
This kid can still joke around; he doesn't seem scared at all.
"This incident has served as a wake-up call for us. The Source Realm is not just a game that provides resources; it is a living, hostile world."
Li Guoan's expression turned serious as he looked at Chen You and Lin Miao: "From now on, you must be even more cautious in the game."
"Chen You, tone down those bug-exploiting tricks of yours."
"Lin Miao, don't go with Chen You for now. Follow your own route."
"Understood." Lin Miao nodded seriously.
Ten minutes later, the Source Realm server restarted.
Welcome back to the Source Realm, Moral Degradation.
A white light flashed before Chen You's eyes, and he appeared in the main hall of the Supreme Tower.
He ignored Hill, went straight out the door, and looked around.
The neon sign that was originally hanging in mid-air has disappeared.
The arena, which had been paved with fluorescent material, reverted to a gray-white stone path.
The NPCs who used to be dressed in strange clothes and holding up support signs on both sides of the street have all changed back into coarse linen clothes and standard armor.
The cyberpunk city was instantly transformed into a medieval wasteland city.
"Is this a rollback?"
Chen You hurriedly opened his backpack and took a look.
245388 gold coins.
Nothing has changed.
Holy crap!
It was rolled back, but not completely.
The gold coins I spent as the acting city lord haven't been refunded!
"Damn system! You can't take this lying down!"
Chen You roared to the sky, his voice echoing through the empty, ruined streets, startling a few crows into flight.
"Give me my money back! Give me back my hard-earned money!"
no respond.
After taking several deep breaths, he brought up his friends list and sent a private message to Lin Miao.
"Did you receive the reward?"
Lin Miao replied instantly: "Got it, a full epic set, a legendary weapon, and 10,000 reputation points. The system sent it directly to my mailbox."
Chen You closed the chat window.
Just get the reward.
His title is still valid, so this isn't a complete loss.
Lin Miao returned to Chuxin City to continue her mission there.
Chen You turned and walked into the Supreme Building, plunging into the training room.
The clone first completed the lottery and destruction mode.
Then he went to the City Lord's Mansion of Cangxing City again.
The main hall of the city lord's mansion was dimly lit.
Lord James Sand did not sit on the high throne.
She slumped down on the steps below the throne.
His signature overalls were gone, replaced by a less-than-refined leather armor.
Her middle parting was gone, and her hair was a mess.
She held a round ball that looked like it was made of animal hide in her hands, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the surface of the ball.
Chen You stepped across the threshold, his footsteps echoing in the empty hall.
Sander didn't look up, but stared intently at the leather ball in his hand, his voice hoarse as if sandpaper was being rubbed.
"Mentor...do you also think I'm a joke?"
Chen You paused in his steps.
No brainwashing?
This NPC actually remembers!
The rules for system judgment flashed through Chen You's mind.
In the art of judgment, Sander represents the player's faction, which is the winning side.
The system restarted, formatted the losing NPC, and restored the building data.
However, the winning side was not "cleaned up".
Or rather, there was a data omission.
"How much do you remember?" Chen You asked as he walked down the steps.
"Everything." Sander looked up.
Those eyes, which were once full of ambition and fervor, were now bloodshot, revealing a deathly stillness of collapsed faith.
"I remember the stage lights, I remember the cheers of tens of thousands of people in the audience. I remember singing, dancing, and rapping, and I remember that perfect 'Iron Mountain Lean'."
Sander's hands clenched tightly. "But now, it's all gone."
She suddenly stood up and slammed the animal skin ball in her hand to the ground.
The animal skin ball bounced once and rolled limply to Chen You's feet.
"The world has abandoned me!" Sander shouted hoarsely, pointing to the empty hall.
"The Origin Realm has erased my stage and taken back my battle robes! It's telling me that my art is garbage!"
Sander covered his face, his shoulders heaving violently.
"I'm sick...Master, I must have been bewitched by the devil."
"Singing and dancing, basketball, it's all an absurd dream."
Chen You watched Sander fall into self-doubt, his eyelids twitching wildly.
This NPC is too immersed in the role.
"You think this is a denial of you?" Chen You asked coldly.
Sander peeked out from between his fingers and stared blankly at Chen You.
Chen You stepped forward and stomped on the animal skin ball on the ground.
"madness."
Chen You's voice wasn't loud, but it was deafening in the empty hall.
"You think the system restarted because your art is garbage?" Chen You sneered, hands behind his back, staring intently at Sander. "Wrong! Utterly wrong!"
Sander stopped sobbing and opened his mouth blankly.
"It's not denying you," Chen You suddenly waved his hand, pointing to the dome. "It's fearing you!"
Sander was startled.
fear?
"Your 'Iron Mountain Lean' combines the laws of the earth with the rhythm of your body; it's a power that transcends this era!"
Chen You switched to his pyramid scheme mentor mode, speaking at an extremely fast pace, giving Sander no time to think.
"Think about it, when you used that move in the ring, even Thalos of the Titans stood up! What does that mean?"
Sander followed Chen You's train of thought and his eyes gradually lit up.
"Does this mean... I've crossed the threshold of the divine realm?"
"Not only that!" Chen You slapped a nearby stone pillar. "Your artistic energy is simply overwhelming!"
"It's too massive for this dilapidated Source Realm system to handle! Its computing power has collapsed, and its logic is deadlocked!"
Chen You became more and more fluent as he spoke, even projecting himself into the story.
"It's afraid that if you keep jumping, you'll shatter the entire world! So it has no choice but to use its highest privileges to forcibly revert the save file and erase your stage!"
Chen You gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with heartache and remorse, "Do you know how much I paid to build that stage for you?"
"Those were all pure gold coins! That was my entire fortune! This damn system stole it all!"
Chen You's voice trembled as he spoke, showing how distressed he was about the money.
