the story of those three best friends, yui, Alex and nubis who are trapped in an accidental game world that involves their past causing them to decline, did they manage to restore the situation as usual?

my english is not good enough hope you guys enjoyed it. /ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\

A young man is kidnapped by a business woman to play in deadly games to satisfy billionaires and a shady government, so that he can be her champion in the game of puzzles

A once-notable theory in Quantum Physics states that reality is determined by the observer, that the fabric of existence is supported solely by the fragile stability of the conscious mind. This idea was taken up by conspiracy theorists and believers of the supernatural alike, and the theory was quickly rejected as a fantastical possibility at best (and a paranoid delusion otherwise). 

What if the paranoid and mentally ill were not only unstable mentally, but also existentially unstable?

Chekhov is a loser. Not the kind that "leaps through the dragon's gate" or inherits a "ring of super destiny god powers", either. His dreams and social life have long since decayed, his lowly habits reflected in his body and lifestyle. He has ignored or outright rejected any and all offers of help, leaving him irredeemably alienated from the outside world.

Chekov's sole unique achievement is the spectacular degree of his personal failure and hopelessness.

Yet. Excepting the impossible, an infinite universe holds infinite possibilities.

"I am Mo, the best "pro" player on Earth. 

I played games since I was 7 years old. 

Be it online or offline games, RPG, Puzzle, Simulation or any genre of games, I am always the best when I play it. 

For 20 years, I was crowned as the greatest "immortal" gamer. 

Even the World Government built a museum for my achievements on all the games my IGN was a part of. Until that fated day..."

Under the watching eyes of the entire gaming industry, the statistics of Plants vs Zombies continued to increase.
First twenty-four hours, 23,187! First three days, 77,409; first week, 122,375; first thirty days, 514,580!
Over that first month, the video game media and video game designers were shocked time and time again. Normally a game would grow in the first week and slowly decrease. Plants vs Zombies had a stable number of downloads even through the fourth week!
Five hundred thousand sales in the first month! What did that mean? Chen Mo had earned more than two million RMB from this game in just one month!
This number was insane for someone fresh to the industry, so much so that Plants vs Zombies had set off a craze in the video game industry!
The players were spreading like a virus, the sales numbers kept on increasing!
Many players formed their own communities to try and figure out strategies for Plants vs Zombies, in particular the endless mode, as the leaderboards shifted day to day.
The video game media had new articles every day, with different industry professionals analyzing the success of Plants vs Zombies.
Many game designers were discussioning the very same topic, even in major discussion forums and the Illusion Game Engine discussions.
How did Plants vs Zombies become so popular?
Can its success be replicated? Can it be used as a reference?
The level design, combat system, code, tutorial, art, music and some other details of Plants vs Zombies were studied again and again, becoming a benchmark for other puzzle games.
------
An A-grade Zen Entertainment designer released a long Weibo post, detailing what made Plants vs Zombies so successful. They also mentioned that the puzzle game industry was about to have its renaissance.
In his Weibo post, he said: To be honest, I quite admire Chen Mo, the creator of Plants vs Zombies. As a new video game designer, he has provided us video game designers who overlook casual games with an important lesson.
We always think that casual games are a small matter, and only C and D-grade video game designers use them to hone their skills. Because casual puzzle games like these were never able to have extended playtimes or strongly engage with the players, the players would grow tired of them, resulting in huge losses.
Many of these so-called puzzle games don't have many puzzling elements to them. They are usually child's play, and far off from the larger puzzle games.
However, Plants vs Zombies has overturned that traditional view. Who said puzzle games couldn't be complicated? Who said puzzle games couldn't have extended playtimes? Two of the biggest problems that were holding back puzzle games were solved by Plants vs Zombies!
Obviously, it wasn't the type of game that was the problem; it was our thinking that was limited!
Not only that, Plants vs Zombies showed us that there is a huge market for casual puzzle games. These games aren't niche, but can cover the entire market!
Moreover, Chen Mo has taught an important lesson to all C and D-grade video game designers: even if you have lower resource limits or worse skills, it doesn't matter. Doesn't everyone claim they are full of innovation? If you really are innovative, go ahead and make a casual game like Plants vs Zombies; it will allow you to reach the peak as a videogame designer!
As for Chen Mo, I think he has shown his prowess in puzzle games. As long as he can keep this going and make another two or three puzzle games at the same level as Plants vs Zombies, I can guarantee that he will become not just one of the best, but the best video game designer in China!
------
Industry professionals, video game media, player discussion... all of their evaluations were positive. There was nothing like what had happened with Flappybird last time, where a video game designer or game reviewer came out and pointed their finger at Plants vs Zombies and said it was bad. 
Once in a while there would be a hate message, but they would be drowned out by the fans.
Chen Mo knew that he made the right choice, for both fame and fortune. After Plants vs Zombies topped the casual puzzle games chart, Chen Mo was now the word on the street.
------
In a month's time, Chen Mo had ninety thousand followers on Weibo, demonstrating the popularity of the game.
However, Chen Mo knew that Plants vs Zombies still had greater potential.
In his previous life, Plants vs Zombies had reached three hundred thousand sales in the first nine days, breaking several records, and had actually taken the world by storm.
Chen Mo had already managed to recreate at least ninety percent of Plants vs Zombies up, but had only received five hundred thousand sales. Evidently there was still a gap between it and the original.
Chen Mo gave the matter some thought.
First was advertising. Chen Mo hadn't done any advertising. The video game media reposts did give him some attention, but it was worlds away from the advertising the big companies were able to do. Plants vs Zombies basically started off on the wrong foot compared to them.
Second was the market problem. Plants vs Zombies was only released in China. If he was able to release it outside of China, the sales should be higher.
However, Chen Mo was satisfied with his performance so far. Although Plants vs Zombies did have the ability to enter the international market, Chen Mo didn't want to invest too much time and effort into it.
In Chen Mo's view, the overseas market was unexplored territory. Were the tastes of the overseas market the same in this parallel world? That required a lot of time and effort to experiment with.
Chen Mo didn't want to consider the overseas market for now, so he didn't put too much effort into it. Chen Mo was quite happy with the fact that Plants vs Zombies was able to achieve results like it had. He didn't expect the game to break the sky.
If just considering the starting steps, Chen Mo had forged a perfect start as a videogame designer. What he could achieve next depended on what he wanted to do!
------
10 AM...
Chen Mo sat at the bar table letting out yawns left and right.
He had been out drinking with Lin Mao and Zhao Zihao till 11 PM, and was suffering the effects of that.
Since Chen Mo and Lin Mao had great success with their games, a celebration was required. Therefore Chen Mo decided to let himself enjoy some alcohol this time.
Adventure of the Storm Rider received seventy thousand downloads in the first month. Although it didn't come close to Plants vs Zombies, it was top three on the new games leaderboards, raking in about eight hundred thousand RMB for Lin Mao.
Lin Mao was quite happy with that achievement, as most new video game designers couldn't even hope to achieve results like that.
Of course, Lin Mao was head over heels with results that Plants vs Zombies had achieved. Within his admiration was happiness for Chen Mo.
During the past few days, Wen Lingwei and Jia Peng didn't come to the experience store every day like they had before. After playing it for a month, their passion for Plants vs Zombies had slowly died down.
More and more strategies were being released to the public, and more and more were being discovered, but the passion for the game would die down over time.
Wen Lingwei and the others were urging Chen Mo to release a sequel, or even a new game.
Chen Mo knew in his heart that Plants vs Zombies had a really long lifetime. Some people might be able to play it for one or two years, but for the majority, they'd get sick of it after a month or two.
Of course, for a standalone game, it didn't matter that the gamers were sick of it. What was important was that the game was sold and money was earned. All that was left to do was to release the next game.
Chen Mo was ready to move his focus to his next game, but before that, he wanted to give Plants vs Zombies an update!


Chen Mo liked calling himself a video game designer, despite being a mere video game producer.
After dying one day from work-related stress, he transmigrated into a parallel world as himself, right after he graduated. He was now in the body of his younger self, who also aspired to be a video game designer. 
Will he be able to fulfill his dream after being reborn in this oddly different new world, and become the best video game designer in that world?
Follow Chen Mo on his romp through video game classics as he brings the great games of the past to a whole new world in pursuit of his dreams!
Note: This Novel has been continued as a passion project by its translator. The continuation of this novel will not affect the result of Trial Reading or Voting Pool. 

Alchemy was a subject that gave an uncanny resemblance to potions and transfiguration.but an advanved version of it as it discussed the fundamentals of equal exchange

While he was good at both of them this subjuct was also linked to rituals which he had no previous knowledge about so he only gave a brief study to it 

However what he saw gave him an idea for a project he wanted to do that may inhance his wandless magic

While he did all this he did not slack off on the occulumancy training he had already gone past the meditation And started to devolop his mindscaape he made the exterior into a spherical puzzle made of mithril,that he heard was actually a real metal. However this puzzle was technically unsolvable 

Surrounding his puzzle were fake memories in the shape of bubbles to confuse any who would snoop in

If by any chance someone does get in they will be treated with white mist that goes on endlessly 

His memories were stored in the shape of a computer he once saw in the library it was one good device to use

Nothing too compicated but after setting his mindscape it was as if a new word was introduced to him he could even remember the tiny details in his memories

William was a special kid,born with an extraordinary mind and never ending curiosity.when he discovers magic,it gave birth to great ideas.but what he did so casually would make the strongest heart faint. because all he did was just wandless magic

Launch day.
It was still an hour away from launch.
In the morning, Zhang Ye held in his hands the documents that Fat Sis had sent to him. He went through it several times in earnest, analyzing the information for domestic sales of puzzle games in recent years. In the data, it not only included the domestically produced casual puzzle games, but also an abundance of foreign puzzle game titles.
Flying Leopard.
Casual domestic puzzle game.
Price: Free.
Sales numbers: 800 downloads on launch day.
Kamikaze.
Japanese turn-based strategy puzzle game.
Price: 9 RMB for mobile version. Not available for PC at the moment.
Sales numbers: 16,000 downloads on launch day.
Fishing Master 2.
Country of origin: America.
Price: 19 RMB for PC version, 6 RMB for mobile version.
Sales numbers: 95,000 downloads on launch day.
And so on.
This was the current distribution of numbers for the casual domestic puzzle games in China. It could clearly be seen from the data of the 27 titles of games the disparity of the domestically made games to the foreign-made ones. The domestically made game, Flying Leopard, had apparently taken a year's time and a cost of 10 million RMB to develop—and was temporarily free to play—only managed a figure of 800 downloads on launch day. Describing it as a miserable result was already a nice way to put it. Then, looking at the foreign-made games, most of the titles had downloads crossing 10,000 on their release days, with the best performer being Fishing Master 2, which built on the success of Fishing Master 1. Its popularity showed with their market share in addition to receiving close to 100,000 downloads on launch day. With this momentum, Fishing Master 2's sales figures would cross 1 million downloads in only a matter of time, and shouldn't be difficult to achieve either.
Of course, the results of Fishing Master 2 still couldn't be compared with those large-scale, famous RPG series, among other popular titles. Nor should they be mentioned in the same breath, since how could you compare a game that was measured in megabytes to one that was measured in gigabytes? And that was the status of puzzle games. The Fishing Master series had an absolute dominance in the puzzle games genre, and was also one of the most popular puzzle games as well!
After reading through the document, Zhang Ye had a heavy heart.
The situation was grim!
The domestic games market did not have much hope!
Now, it just depended on how Plants vs. Zombies would perform. Not only did he want to make a stand for himself, he also wanted to help domestically made games make a stand for themselves…Uh, although it was true that Plants vs. Zombies itself was a foreign-made game to begin with, but then who would know about that in this world?
Hmph!
If this bro says that it is a domestically made game, then it is a domestically made game!
You gonna bite me??
... 
The countdown toward the release began!
Three minutes.
Two minutes.
One minute.
At 8 AM, Plants vs. Zombies was officially launched as the resources were made available for download in this world, done in accordance to this world's market conditions with a new method of distribution!
Zhang Ye clicked to download the game. The internet speed was quite slow and the game that was only several hundred megabytes actually took five minutes to download and even got stuck at 90% downloaded. Sitting at his computer, Zhang Ye did not feel like there was any progress at all. But unknown to him, at this moment, many other people were experiencing the same issue!
At a game download website, an uproar kicked up in the comments section!
"Why can't Plants vs. Zombies be downloaded!? My gosh!"
"Why don't you try a different downloader? I can download the game!"
"Me too, but it's really slow!"
"It's slower than a glacier! What's going on!?"
"Same for me, and I have a fucking 100 Mbps connection! But why does it feel like I am back in the era of dial-up? 5 kilobytes per second? Just how slow can it get!"
"Fuck, there are too many people downloading this!"
"Let's switch to a mirror and try! There should be many other servers providing this game for download!"
"Don't bother, it's all the same. I came over from a different server, but the speed over there is about the same. Hai, let's just wait a while!"
"Hahaha, my download is done! I'll go ahead and play first!"
"Fuck you, previous poster!"
"*flips table*!"
"What dogshit server is this!"
"Who the hell is causing this internet slowdown in my home?"
"It's so slow that I'm crying!"
There were countless comments!
The swearing from tens of thousands of people was a very shocking sight!
... 
At Beijing Television Station.
In the program team office of Do You Remember.
A loud shout of surprise rang out in the office. "I succeeded in downloading it!"
It was Hou Ge. After his exclamation, he quickly proceeded to install the game. It didn't take long for the game to be installed. Within thirty seconds, he was at the game's menu.
In that moment, Dafei, Hou Di, Xiao Lu, and a few others all surrounded him immediately.
Xiao Lu said in frustration, "We're all on the same network! Why is my download taking so long?"
Hou Ge chuckled, "It's down to character, our character!"
Dafei urged, "Hurry up and start the game!"
Hou Di said, "I can't wait any longer. Since this game was produced by Teacher Zhang, it definitely has to be fun! I've even resisted playing the demo!"
Hou Ge clicked his mouse with a swagger. "It's starting, it's starting!"
The game commenced!
Unlike the demo, this full version of Plants vs. Zombies did not bring the player directly into the game mode. Instead, there was a tutorial mode to help players become familiarized with game, and the game character that appeared to guide the player made Xiao Lu, Dafei, and everyone else freeze!
Was this Zhang Ye?
An NPC?
Crazy Zhang Ye?
Looking at that 2D cartoon character that vaguely resembled like Zhang Ye, everyone suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Why is Teacher Zhang also appearing in the game as a guest character!"
"Seems like this video game company really respects Teacher Zhang a lot."
"No duh. This game was designed by Zhang Ye in the first place. Do you think it would be difficult for him to make an appearance in it?"
"Hehehe, Teacher Zhang's pretty smart about it, even endorsing himself all the way into the game. Can you imagine if this game really blows up? How much would Teacher Zhang's popularity increase by? This is goddamn equivalent to pervasive soft advertising for him. You can't shut him out even if you wanted to!"
"I was still wondering why Teacher Zhang crossed over to making games. So it was because he had ulterior motives instead. Who says that Teacher Zhang is being too much of a jack of all trades? In fact, I think that rather than a jack of all trades, he knows exactly what he is doing. Even though taking the bar exam and making games do not seem like logical moves, all those activities actually affect his popularity and exposure to the media!"
"Stop rambling and just play the game!"
... 
Peking University.
School had reopened, but on this day, the campus was quieter than usual. The people who would usually take a stroll beside the artificial lake were nowhere to be seen.
Some students who were passing by the area were surprised at this.
"Eh, why is it so quiet around here today?"
"Everyone's in their dorms."
"In their dorms? Aren't they going to get breakfast?"
"Don't you know? Today is the launch day of Plants vs. Zombies!"
"Aiyo! It's today?"
"So do you understand now? Teacher Zhang has always been good to us in the past, teaching us his knowledge and leading us to scold the foreign dignitaries. Even during the recent student recruitment, he helped Peking University stop Tsinghua University's antics. Knowing this, who among us do not appreciate him? Who wouldn't be moved? We don't know when Teacher Zhang can come back to teach us. Since he's releasing a new product now, we must support him even if it kills us! The Vice Chairman of the Student Council of Peking University and a few other officers of the council have already started calling on everyone to show their support for Plants vs. Zombies!"
"That's right! I won't acknowledge any teachers in the school except Zhang Ye!"
"We must give our support! No two ways about it!"
"Fuck, I better get back to my room then! I have to download the game and purchase a serial code as well!"
... 
At one of the female dormitories.
Crosstalk actor Yao Jiancai's daughter, Yao Mi, had already started playing Plants vs. Zombies with a few of her friends. All that could be heard coming from the dorm room were exclamations, laughter, and excited voices. 
"Aiya, the zombie is approaching, it's approaching!"
"Are you stupid! Plant the Peashooter!"
"Haha, you got the zombie! Ah, another wave is coming!"
"Ah, I don't have enough 'sun' anymore! I have no resources!"
"Why are you guys so terrible? I've already passed the third level!"
Yao Mi was the first to pass the first three levels of the game. After she had completed the third level, a popup appeared and prompted her to enter a serial code. She needed to buy a serial code before she could continue playing. Without even hesitating, Yao Mi immediately made the payment online. It was only a few yuan, an amount that not too many people would care about. Afterwards, she continued clicking her mouse excitedly as she began the fourth level. The more she played, the more addicted and excited she got!
"This is so fun!"
"I can't stop at all!"
"Mimi, tell us why our Teacher Zhang Ye is so awesome!"
... 
A video game company in Beijing.
The Gaming Research Department employees had arrived early for work today. No one was idle as all of them were here to do the same thing: download Plants vs. Zombies! Other people might play games for entertainment and leisure, but for them, it was for work, in order to learn from the experience of others.
In the office, the game's soundtrack reverberated.
"Hai, the full version of the game is quite different from the demo!"
"You've only just realized? There are so many game modes, but they're still grayed out at the moment!"
"The levels are also different. They're much richer than in the demo. I was just mentioning that if the levels are just going to continue on so monotonously, the repetitive levels will surely cause gameplay fatigue. But after I said that, the next level immediately went into night mode. There's a difference in the strategy of fighting and the type of plants that can be planted in night mode as compared to day mode? How interesting!"
"The person who designed this game must definitely be an expert! If you go on further in the game, there's even a pool mode. Reading from the introduction, there's also a roof mode. There are different strategies for fighting in each mode, so not only does that increase the playability of the game, it also does not cause gameplay fatigue to the player! Is…is this really a creation of Zhang Ye's? Without seven or eight years of experience in game design, how can he possibly have grasped the mind of a player so well? The demo was already amazing, but this full version is even better. After completing a level, I want to go on to the next one immediately. I think that after this level, it's be enough. But then somehow, I still go ahead and click to start the next level!"
"If this game doesn't go viral, I could never justify that!"
"Zhang Ye is indeed just like his reputation!"
"Who knows, Plants vs. Zombies could really lead the charge for our domestically developed video games!"
"This is such a godly game! It's really too goddamn godly! There's actually a day when our domestically made games could come up with such a godly work!? How encouraging!"
The industry insiders were exploding with excitement!
The Internet also exploded with comments from the netizens!
"This is so fun!"
"So the demo really was just the tip of the iceberg!"
"Is this really a game made by a domestic video game company? Did Zhang Ye really come up with the entire design of this game? This is too incredible! I can't believe this!"
"A boost for our domestically made games!"
"I've already recommended it to friends and relatives!"
"This game truly is constantly full of surprises! The more I play it, the more fun I have!"
There were also celebrities who posted on Weibo.
A C-list singer named Wang Qiqi posted a link to Plants vs. Zombies with the accompanying words: "It's so good I'm crying!"
A movie star named Chen Qi posted: "Recommending a good game my friend recommended to me. It's called Plants vs. Zombies. Please support domestically made games!"
Zhang Ye did not know those two people, neither had he come across them before. The reason for their recommendation posts was clearly because this game had truly touched them.
Naturally, Zhang Ye's friends did not idle around either.
Chen Guang and Fan Wenli highly recommended it!
Yao Jiancai highly recommended it!
Dong Shanshan highly recommended it!
At the same time, the media was also making its moves!
A few video game websites had already published their analyses and review of the full version of Plants vs. Zombies. The reviews were very good, just like how the industry insiders rated it! Websites, newspapers, and other entertainment media's reporters did not idle around either. A puzzle game that clearly had nothing to do with the entertainment circle had actually been pushed to the front page or into the headlines as the topic generated massive interest! It was like a wildfire!
"An amazing, classic domestically created puzzle game! "
"Can Zhang Ye continue writing his cross-industry legend?"
"Some industry insiders frank opinions: Not optimistic of Plants vs. Zombies' sale figures!"
"Good but unable to attract an audience?"
"A legend of a domestically made puzzle video game might have begun! "
"Possibility of poor sales? Don't be too pessimistic, don't speak too soon, just remember! The creator of this game is—Zhang, Zhang Ye! "
"The turnaround of domestically made video games? "


Zhang Ye was originally a mundane college graduate with aspiring dreams to become a star, but unfortunately has below average looks and height. However one day, he woke up and suddenly found himself in a parallel world! 
It’s like the same world, but wait a minute…many brands, celebrities and even famous works from his world changed and are gone in this new world! Armed with the profound literary knowledge of his previous world and a heaven-defying Game Ring that gives him magical items, stats and skills, Zhang Ye embarks on a journey to pursue his life-long dream of becoming famous!
Follow Zhang Ye as he takes the new world by storm, one plagiarized piece at a time, to hilarious reactions!

Felix did nothing else but stare at the ceiling absent-mindedly after landing on the most hated format game for those who were confident in their strength to beat the shit out of their contenders. The many variables within its games nullified their absolute strength.
In Felix's previous life, Puzzles games were actually his favorite format. He didn't win them all, but he still had a good win rate while playing them in comparison to other formats.
One single small mistake could even eliminate the 1st ranker player, one lucky opportunity could make the last ranker clinch the win. This kind of uncertainty was Felix's jam. His trash bloodlines weren't making it easier to compete in battles format games, but in puzzle ones, at least he had a shot.
If the death race luck meterage decided who would have better opportunities to clinch the championship, in the case of puzzle games, luck decided whether one emerges as champion or not.
However, without the necessary intelligence to take advantage of a lucky opportunity during the game, a player could only waste it.
Intelligence was still the true deciding factor to perform the best of one's ability within puzzle games.
Dejected, Felix rubbed his eyelids while sighing. He gave a spiteful glare to his hands, which kept causing him misfortune.
"I dare you to let me down again." He threatened them like a lunatic, "I swear I will cut you down and heal you back up."
He rubbed them nervously while eyeing the green button that was for spinning the next wheel, which had hundreds of puzzle games within it.
"F*ck it." He swore and pressed the button forcefully, not worrying anymore about what happens.
The wheel span rapidly again. However, this time Felix didn't leave it spin for even two seconds before he stopped it.
The wheel gradually slowed its speed until it stopped completely. Felix glanced at the chosen game and had a bad feeling after seeing the word maze. He clicked on the game and its details were displayed in front of him.
// Game Format: Puzzles. (Maze edition)
Game Name: Shuffle Maze
Participants Number: 95 (Still increasing)
Integration allowed: From lesser purity to peak stage 1 of replacement.
Ranks allowed: silver and bronze ( This is a silver game)
Maze map: ???
Surprise Addition: No.
Prizes Pool: High-grade stones, Peak-grade stones, Instant Recovery Potion, Hateful Miasma breath, Spiritual Flat Bone...
Rules of the game:
1) Players get dropped randomly in one giant maze. (The distance between the exit and the dropped spot is fixed for every player.)
2) Creating Alliances is allowed.
3) The maze walls shuffle after every 30 minutes.
4) The duration of each shuffle is 10 seconds.
5) Players can glimpse beyond the walls in each shuffle, but won't be able to move during it.
6) There are hidden compartments in the maze. (teleportation circles, treasure chests, traps...)
7) Treasures that are in the open areas are guarded by beasts. (Beasts strength increase based on the chest rank.)
8) Game points can be earned from eliminations, beast hunts, and treasure chests.
9) The player first to leave through the maze exit wins.
10) The game duration is two and a half hours.
11) The player with the most points after the duration ends wins.
For more information please open your SG profile Interface.
Good luck to all participants.//
Just like Felix feared, the game rules included hidden teleportation circles. A luck-based addition that could teleport a player near the exit, giving him a free win.
But to balance the game, that would be quite unlikely. This meant, the player would only be teleported in a large diameter around the exit, and that's only if he got lucky. In worst cases, he might be sent back to where he started!
That being said, Felix strangely wasn't looking at the 6th rule but actually had all of his attention attracted by the 8th rule!
"Can I do it regardless?... Maybe it can work even in a puzzle game." He kept murmuring under his breath in a trance-like state. 
He felt that his luck turned upside down too quickly. Just now, he was feeling horrible over landing on a puzzle format, but after seeing the 8th rule, a plan formed in his head. A plan, if executed correctly, he would obtain a shit load of game points.
The game added the 8th rule in order to help the less intelligent, or simply players who had abilities totally useless in locating the exit. They just needed to hunt for game points and hope that no one manages to find the exit before the game duration ends.
This game might be a puzzle type, but still, the SGA always left leeway for those with low IQ in some way or form. After all, no one wanted to watch a game that had 100 players, but only 3 were active within the field.
...
"Hopefully it works."
After a couple of minutes of deep pondering, Felix finally woke up from his daze. He lifted his head and saw that the wheel was still in front of him. He swiped it away from his face while requesting the Queen to search online for his game.
A moment later, a list that had only 3 shuffle mazes games was displayed before Felix. Those games were being played out in the entire Galaxy. 
Each game was from a different empire. This meant, the game Felix was currently on had only players from the Mariana empire. 
Felix's rank was too low to join galaxy-wide games that included players from all empires. He needed to reach gold for him to compete in that level.
He clicked on the game that was in the middle and was transferred to another web tab that showcased all the public details of the game.
Just like before, he pressed on the player list and was met with a long string of unique players' names.
//Participants List:
> Chrome Rising_1344: Bronze Rank, High-Tier Wins 3 / Losses 4. (For more details click on the name)
> Cold Bounty_1224: Silver Rank, Mid-Tier, Wins 3 / Losses 6. (For...)
>...
> Hellstorm_7754: Silver Rank, High-Tier, Wins 8 / Losses 9. (For...)
> Spirit Visage_2199: Silver Rank, Peak-Tier, Wins 6 / Losses 3 (For...)
> Unpaid Landlord_6996: Bronze Rank, Mid-Tier, Wins 1 / Losses 0. (For...)
>...
> Solar Mist_7778: Silver Rank, Peak-Tier, Wins 7 / Losses 4 (For...)
> Farphobia_3355: Silver Rank low Tier, wins 3 / losses 5. (For...) //
Not surprised a bit that at least 80 players were silver ranked, Felix simply kept on reading the list in a nonchalant manner. 
He already knew that he would be placed in a silver ranked game, even though he was still in bronze. This was the result of Match Making Rating, or in short MMR.
Since Felix won his first game, it meant he was good enough to start playing against only veterans and hardcore players instead of unranked newbies. 
This rarely happens though, since the majority of unranked players actually end up losing at least 3 of their placement games or even all of them. This meant, they would start normally climbing from low bronzer to silver.
MMR affected all the players, not just Felix. Any player who had way more wins than losses get placed in games above his rank. 
As for those who had more losses than wins, they remain playing in the same rank instead of being placed in lower rank games. 
The SGA wasn't stupid to let that happen, as they knew that most players would start losing intentionally to be put in lower brackets and have an easier time competing with newbies. This wasn't a video game, where one gets rewarded only virtual points after he wins.
In the SG, winning meant getting a free wish to fulfill one's desires. In other words, every win was worth it, even in bronze rank.
Although Felix could be said that he was affected negatively by the MMR since he was put in a higher rank game, he didn't see it as such. He actually preferred so, as it meant, the wish would have a silver rank limit while he was still in bronze. 
This was a bonus for those managing to clinch the win over higher-ranked players than them.
Soon, Felix began scouting the highest-ranked players in the list, marking all the threats he planned on adding to his plan. 
He first started off with peak-tiered silver players. He picked them one by one and made sure to do detailed homework on their bloodline abilities, strengths, and weakness. Anything that was public about them, he made sure to remember it well.
He didn't want any surprises to f*ck up his plan.
...
A couple of hours went by, and Felix had studied 15 players all at once. He found some names that he somewhat recalled in his previous life, like Solar Mist and Hound Stench. One of them got famous immensely 7 years from now while the other had a unique characteristic that set him apart from a lot of bloodliners. 
However, the player that Felix actually remembered thoroughly, was named Birds Call. He didn't expect that the princess of the Maganda tribe would actually be in his game. He honestly didn't want to interact with her one bit.
Right now, Felix was refreshing the list every two minutes, wanting to see if there would be any new addition before he called it a quit. After a few refreshes, he saw two players joining the list. Mastermania, and EL Truca.
He clicked on Mastermania's name and was transferred to his profile page.
'Oh!'
His eyes shone with delight after finding out that he was actually an idol, popular enough to own a fan club with millions of members.
"Such free juicy exposure." He grinned while rubbing his hands in a wicked manner.
Players loved those kinds of popular idols the most, as by eliminating them they get a wide media exposure, thus turning them into semi-famous players instantly with low effort.
Felix planned to do so as well.
He needed as much exposure as possible, as relying only on his fan club to bring more fans was not enough to put him within everyone's radars.
The only ways to do so was by either winning games, and winning them magnificently, or eliminating popular players and idols.
That's how famous players were born before. Fan clubs were only by-products of that.
Shortly after, Felix closed the list tab and changed his outfit to training one. He planned to head to the training center to practice in his room.
Although he didn't receive the maze map, nothing stopped him from trying to mimic one by relying on the previous Shuffle Maze games.
Since there was no hidden addition in this game, it meant that the only difference within it would be the maze layout and hidden compartments places.
After he wore his outfit he entered his car, which was inside his garage, and drove speedily towards the Center.


Felix Maxwell was destined to be a loser, born on one of the weakest races and on the least favorable of situations, he was forced to face adversity head-on as he traveled across the vast universe where dangers laid in every corner, one day traveling in hopes of riches he stumbled upon a ruin where a supreme being laid imprisoned, in a stroke of bad luck the being laid its eyes on him and tried to take over his body, forcing itself upon him.

but fate hadn't given up on him!

he woke up in his younger body, 20 years in the past with the fallen being trapped in his soul.

 In his past life he had been a loser, giving up on things mid-way and never striving for greatness, he was a side character who made the strong shine even brighter, but not on this life.

he swore to himself he would strive for glory, he would take advantage of his knowledge and emerge as a supreme being!

In the end, Ren Suo still did not visit Zhao Zili.
Ren Suo was also beginning to regret asking Xie Qiansi for a favor to investigate.
Fortunately, he had not searched for the person with the Countermeasure Division's system, or traces would have been left behind, and it would have been troublesome. But the present situation was not much better—at least, Xie Qiansi and his uncle now knew that "there was someone looking for Zhao Zili".
Ren Suo had no choice but to tell Xie Qiansi that Zhao Zili had scammed his money and disappeared. Such a reason appeared logical when considering Zhao Zili's identity and background, and it was up to luck if Xie Qiansi believed that story.
Nonetheless, regardless of how sharp and clever Xie Qiansi was, he would not be able to figure out any link between Ren Suo and Zhao Zili. At the most, he would be surprised at "how lucky Ren Suo was to meet Zhao Zili by coincidence".
Was there any unfavorable evidence against Ren Suo? No.
Whether it was the Hitman, the Seeker, or the Ren family Practitioners, Ren Suo did not form any physical connection with any of them—rather, he was indirectly affected by them.
Zhao Zili was the first in-game character that Ren Suo had interacted with outside of the game, through the exchange of information. But the death of Zhao Zili calmed Ren Suo down quickly— What was he thinking? Did that not go against his own code of conduct?
He had no reason to interact with those "game characters". His identity and knowledge of information made his move to investigate Zhao Zili appear unexpected and out-of-the-ordinary.
'I am becoming too conceited,' Ren Suo thought.
With the help of his "player privilege", Ren Suo had been able to complete the game "Holy Priest: Survival Battle" without too much difficulty. Furthermore, he was able to smoothly disseminate the "information of monsters" without hindrance, giving Ren Suo a bizarre sense of confidence that he was more and more adept at using the Mini Worlds Gaming Console.
That was also why he thought of investigating Zhao Zili, to try and find out the connection between the Mini Worlds Gaming Console and the real world.
If Zhao Zili was not dead, Ren Suo would definitely look for her. Through interviewing and monitoring her, Ren Suo wanted to find out what would happen to her subsequently, such that she would be controlled by the Mini Worlds Gaming Console.
Now, Ren Suo finally understood; he had been controlling a dead person in the game.
But through the death of Zhao Zili, Ren Suo also understood that the Mini Worlds Gaming Console was even more dangerous than he had previously imagined it to be.
After he uploaded his final game score the previous afternoon, Zhao Zili also passed away then. Ren Suo would never believe that it was just a mere coincidence.
Previously, Ren Suo had already figured out that not only could the game console "turn the events which occurred in the game into reality", but also "change the past". Now, it could even "control life and death", and yet he had assumed that he had fully understood the mechanics of the game console.
It was just like ordinary people witnessing a magical dragon flying in the sky through the clouds, riding with the wind and being able to control the rain. When the magical dragon descended to interact with the ordinary people, they thought that they could simply become riders of the dragon.
What if Ren Suo became a character in the game, how would he deal with that?
Furthermore, he also avoided any connection with the characters in the game as much as possible. His decision to investigate Zhao Zili would only raise more suspicions, and he could only make use of official resources if he had official reasons to do so and investigate the link between the Mini Worlds Gaming Console and the real world.
Ren Suo knew just how much attention the Countermeasure Division and the government were putting into every single move of "Naisser_Ren", as well as the information that were revealed in his videos. 
Ren Suo set a new rule for himself: 
"Play carefully, and remain lowkey. As much as possible, do not bring the game into my own life. For example, do not name the characters with the surname Ren so hastily, otherwise in the future, it would not be as simple as the Ren family lineage being watched." 
Ren Suo returned to the couch and pressed the "on" button on the game controller, and the television screen lit up.
After passing the game [Holy Priest: Survival Battle], Ren Suo had moved the game console back to the living room. Unless it was necessary to use the mouse, he would definitely use the television to play—it was solely because the television screen was of 4K resolution and even had an HDR function, so more details could be seen.
Moreover, the couch gave him a much more versatile position to play in than the computer chair—he could sit, lie down, or even roll around comfortably.
The video for "Holy Priest: Survival Battle" had not been uploaded, and Ren Suo did not know when it would be uploaded either—"A Strong Warrior Ascends 10,000 Meters" had only started uploading after five days.
As such, Ren Suo did not bother about it and instead, focused on preparing for the Lucky Pick.
Currently, in the list of thirty discounted games as part of the May Day Promotion, there were 5 games that cost below 50 merit points, 17 games that cost between 50 to 100 merit points, 5 games that cost between 100 to 150 merit points, and 3 games that cost over 150 merit points.
The prices above were all discounted.
It was already eight-thirty at night. Ren Suo first proceeded to take a thorough shower, spreading the shower gel all over his body, as if it was free. He even formed bubbles with the shampoo on his hair. Afterward, he put on the most comfortable set of pajamas, and then wiped the game controller with a single-use disinfecting alcohol swab.
He had to shower and change his clothes before the Lucky Pick!
Ren Suo had already set a target for himself—he would only draw up to five times.
If he picked one of the 4 multi-chapter games that cost more than 150 merit points, he would stop immediately!
Ren Suo realized that the more chapters there were in the game, the more costly it would be, and naturally, the maximum merit points that could be earned was much higher than that of single-chapter games. The games that still cost over 150 merit points after the discount were all multi-chapter games—at least, that was the case for games with a difficulty rating of 3-star and below.
And the 54 merit points that he would have left would still be sufficient to make in-game purchases or purchase another game.
Ready, pick, begin!
[Do you wish to spend 10 merit points to participate in the May Day Golden Week Special Lucky Pick Event?]
The Lucky Pick page was interesting. It turned into a roulette wheel divided evenly into 31 segments, with the name of one game written in each segment... Wait, 31 segments?
Ren Suo realized that there was an additional segment glowing in gold color, and squarely written on it was "100g Gold Bar * 10".
There was even a remark at the bottom: [The Gold Bars are acquired through legal channels for investment purposes and can be used safely.]
You can actually receive real gold bars in the Golden Week Lucky Pick?!
Based on the current rate, it was possible to sell the ten 100g gold bars for 200 thousand dollars.
Eh? It is a good option too…
As Ren Suo was pondering about it, the spinner on the wheel started to spin.
Fortunately, the wheel did not have a segment labeled "Thank you for playing"; otherwise, Ren Suo would have thought that the Lucky Pick was rigged. Many online lucky draws were manipulated as such, where although the segments appeared to be of even sizes, the spinner would land on the "thank you for playing" segment nine out of 10 times, and on the remaining time, it would land on "you have drawn a Xuan Nation life insurance worth 1000 dollars"...
The spinner spun relatively fast. As it slowed down in accordance with physics principles, it finally landed on the segment on the bottom right corner.
[From the Depths of Hell], 40% OFF, 2-star difficulty, a puzzle adventure game. The player would take on the role of a coffin store owner who is able to communicate with ghosts and embark on a mission to uncover the secrets of a long-forgotten criminal case that decided his life or death. The game costs 60 merit points after the discount and up to 180 merit points can be earned from completing the game. In-game purchases are available and the specialized reward is "Third Eye".
Indeed, the rewards were decent, and Ren Suo was quite lucky on his first try. Ren Suo spun the wheel three more times, and apart from the second game he picked which was a 1-star difficulty game that cost only 15 merit points after the discount, the other two games were relatively decent:
[Fighting Warrior], 20% OFF, 3-star difficulty, a fighting game. The player would take on the role of an ordinary practitioner of martial arts and challenge the current top ten strongest people in the world. The game costs 96 merit points after the discount and up to 200 merit points can be earned from completing the game. The specialized reward is "Fighting Master".
[The Deep Sea Monster], 50% OFF, 3-star difficulty, a strategy simulation sandbox game. In a world of Reiki rejuvenation, the player would become a creature of the deep sea and strive to be the strongest of all in the deep depths of the sea, through killing and feeding on large numbers of other creatures and evolving into the deep sea monster. It is all up to the player to decide how the creature would evolve! The game costs 100 merit points after the discount and up to 250 merit points can be earned from completing the game. In-game purchases are available and the specialized reward is "Further Evolution".
Although it was unknown what "Further Evolution" meant, the more stars the game had, the more expensive and the more challenging it was, and so were the rewards. The rewards from the 3-star game would definitely not leave Ren Suo disappointed.
Ren Suo was already satisfied to have picked "The Deep Sea Monster". However, he looked at the other multi-chapter 3-star games and was slightly hesitant—in particular, he was considering the rated 3+ star "Over My Dead Body", after he cleared the game, he could well become a level 3 player immediately.
He still remembered that there were games that only players who were level 4 and above could play.
"Forget it, I should not stingy with such little merit points," Ren Suo muttered to himself. He no longer saw 10 merit points as a large number after having over a hundred points previously and spun the spinner again.
The spinner started spinning, and as it slowed down, Ren Suo naturally focused on the gold bars option.
'It would also be great if I got 200 thousand dollars... But I wonder how I could exchange them. Express delivery? Or transmission through the air?' Ren Suo thought.
Regardless, if Ren Suo truly received 200 thousand dollars, he could buy a small car for himself and would no longer need to squeeze with people on the subway.
After buying a car to replace walking as his mode of transportation, he would still be able to purchase a new computer and a pair of sound-reducing headphones. A new pair of noise-reducing headphones in collaboration with an anime had been released recently, but it cost a few thousand dollars, and Ren Suo could not afford it.
Afterwhich, he could remit tens of thousand dollars to his family as the best way of indicating that he was safe.
Just as Ren Suo was thinking about how to spend the 200 thousand dollars, the spinner went past the golden bars segment on the wheel slightly and stopped at the next segment.
Ren Suo blinked and sucked his thumb as he sighed lightly.
Was he lucky, or was he unlucky?
He missed the 200 thousand dollars.
And... picked the same game again.
[System hint: You have picked the same game again, you can choose to redraw or level up the game (direction of leveling up cannot be controlled).]
I know what's "redraw", but what does "level up the game" mean?
Ren Suo deliberated for a moment and decided to level up the game—if that was the wrong move, he could just pick another game to play anyway. Picking the same game twice in a row should bring some surprises, no?
Then, a new game appeared.
[The All-Devouring Soul]
[This game is leveled up from 'The Deep Sea Monster' and is a role-playing strategy simulation sandbox game. In a world of Reiki rejuvenation, the player would take on the role of any living creature and strive to become the strongest living creature in the world, through overcoming all challenges and devouring living creatures in the world. The player is in control of how the creature would evolve and the kind of enemies the creature would fight against. The reward for clearing the game is 250 merit points, and the specialized reward is 'Extraordinary Evolution'. In-game purchases are available with possible continuation chapters. Current game difficulty: 3+ star.]
