Zhong Shenxiu, taking on the role of the elder for the first time, still had some conscience.

Apart from the nastiest plutocrat system, the big director system was just a transporter of excellent works, still an ordinary person in reality.

As for the athlete system, the amplification of attributes each time it was used was roughly equivalent to advancing the 100-meter record by 0.1 seconds.

In the eyes of those in the know, it was shockingly unconventional.

But to the general public, it was just so-so.

Could a person who could be killed with a single gunshot be called extraordinary or a system host?

Talking about it would be embarrassing for Golden Finger!

"Control group wiped out, let's see how this time's effect is..."

Thinking about this, Zhong Shenxiu directly opened her computer and started designing the game's official website.

Wang Ziyang was a beleaguered medical intern. Though he also had a doctor's title, he was actually in the dreadful learning phase, busy as a dog, not to mention being looked down upon by senior nurses.

Nevertheless, he had a good mentality; his hobby was playing games. After following the experts on rounds every day, he always found an opportunity to slack off and play on his phone, browsing various gaming forums.

He didn't like big productions but preferred niche, hardcore games.

Such games often had unremarkable reputations that needed to be discovered on one's own.

Though the search process was somewhat tiring, finding a favorite was an incomparable thrill that was unforgettable.

This process of finding gold in the dung required patience.

Wang Ziyang was navigating his gaming account "Xiaoye Wanling" through various posts when he suddenly saw a title.

"Shock! Epic free masterpiece, the insider story is..."

"Clickbait? Insider bait?"

He smirked, "This trick is outdated now... Who isn't aware of the free gimmicks?"

Still, with the mentality that looking was free, he casually opened the post, only to find it was blank except for a row of web addresses.

It even seemed to lock out the reply function, making it impossible to comment.

'Knew it would be cursed, so they silenced everyone in advance?'

Wang Ziyang smirked, "Let this old man do the corpse-whipping..."

He clicked on the link and entered a game official site named "Game Otherworld!"

The entire webpage, how should I put it, calling it shoddy was actually being kind; it was a mess of clashing colors, simply unbearable to look at.

The most eye-catching was a series of bold text—

"Most luxurious VR experience!"

"Completely free game!"

"Super high degree of freedom!"

"Most hardcore storyline!"

"Everything in 'Game Otherworld', April 1st, the first round of internal test grand opening!"

"Game helmet, click and receive!"

"First come, first served, until all are given away!"

…

Below these bold colored texts, there were two more lines in smaller font:

"All interpretation rights of this game belong to the development team!"

"Think of adding more..."

…

"This..."

Wang Ziyang felt countless complaints bubbling up but didn't know where to begin: "Ah, such a crude webpage, it's even more shoddily made than those browser games like 'If You're a Brother, Come At Me,' and you dare say this is VR? Planner, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"Where's the game background? The introduction? The videos? Not even a picture, what are you playing at?"

"Why do they have to beta-test on April 1st? Isn't that clearly a plan to trick people?"

He vented in three successive posts, finally feeling much better. That's when he realized... there was no comment section on the game's official website!

Not only that, but replies to the promotional account's post were also disabled, yet it was curiously pinned at the top!

"They must know they're going to get roasted; they just went ahead and sealed it off..."

Wang Ziyang was quite impressed.

He checked the Super Old-Timer game's official website and saw the only remaining option was to sign up with an address. After a moment's thought, he decided to risk it, expose the scam, and casually signed up, filling in the hospital's address. He firmly decided not to spend a penny, not even for postage!

In a princess room filled with pink.

Zhang Xuanyi lay on an ergonomic chair, a straw from her soda dangling from her mouth, wearing heavy headphones, browsing a gaming forum.

The small forum wasn't well-known, but it had its loyal fans. It was usually her responsibility to manage it.

Today, as she logged on, she found herself bombarded with countless private messages, opening them, they were full of—'Big bro, have you eaten?', 'Please, be human!', 'You don't delete spam posts, what use are you?' and the like.

She felt bewildered and aggrieved for a moment, then swiftly scanned the forum and saw a lonely post boldly occupying the top spot!

Opening it, she found a link to a website called "Game Otherworld."

As for the quality… well, no comment, it was an eyesore. Moreover, it was undeniably emphasizing its presence at the top, visually assaulting anyone who saw it.

Zhang Xuanyi was startled, hurriedly tried to delete it from the backend, but... she couldn't!

"Hacked? Virus?"

Her delicate face tensed, she quickly made a phone call: "Ranran, save me!"

"Call me 'sister' again, and I'll strangle you!"

On the other end, a sweet male voice came through; it was her male best friend, to be noted, not boyfriend—Xu Ran.

A man with a feminine demeanor, the only male student in the dance major, who had been confessed to by countless males.

"Ranran, help, I'm being scolded to death on the forum."

Zhang Xuanyi couldn't care less about formalities and pleaded for help.

"Huh? That post... didn't you take a fee for promotion?" Xu Ran asked, puzzled.

"Not at all, I'm wronged..." Zhang Xuanyi was on the verge of tears, recounting the non-deletable issue again.

"Then it must be a hacker attack, or a virus? Hold on... I'll ask someone to see if they can solve it..."

Xu Ran spoke briefly and hung up.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xuanyi immediately issued a notice, or rather, shifted the blame, as she couldn't bear the responsibility.

Then, she scrolled down, noticing a few posts below the main one, discussing the "Otherworld" game.

If they couldn't vent in that post, they could just start a new one to rant!

Zhang Xuanyi clicked in, finding indeed they were venting.

"The graphics quality, I'm on my knees; did they dig up some ancient programmer to do this?"

"Burn the inept planner, offer sacrifice to the heavens!"

"If anything should be burnt, it's the development team. Everyone, don't be fooled, that 'Otherworld' game company isn't even registered..."

"Is the forum taking dirty money?"

"Support the above!"

"Blind, didn't see the notice, it was clearly a hacker attack!"

"Lol..."

"I testify, it really was a hacker, everyone be cautious, that shameless person might be spying... careful they check your water meter! Calm down, calm down..."

Online trolls, always lawless since they believe no one can trace them through the internet.

But once this camouflage was peeled away, many comments immediately became much more tempered.

"Is this the deterrent power of a hacker? Amazing..."

Zhang Xuanyi watched this unfold, her mind drifting off somewhere...
