Rumor has it that after the fall of Zhenzong, the greatest sect of ancient times, the resentment and spiritual energy within its walls became entangled and gave rise to a group of monsters who called themselves players.
They spoke like humans, but no one could communicate with them. They behaved like lunatics, yet could neither die nor be destroyed. They guarded treasures but squandered them, and killed everyone they saw, leaving the entire cultivation world to gaze at the ancient ruins and lament their loss.
To earn enough to feed the hundred or so mouths at home, the cat demon Wuli gritted her teeth and took a dangerous gamble: she'd go up the mountain and rob those monsters!
But things went wrong right from the start. The little cat demon's very first robbery ran into trouble
"A robbery?"
The player, unable to gauge her strength, thought for a moment, then suddenly lit up. "Great idea! Come on, let's go together!"
Wuli, who cautiously backed away to escape but was caught and dragged into the robbery anyway: ...?
Is this how it's supposed to work?
-
The customer service line for the country's hottest traditional-style full-dive game, Dream Immortal, has been ringing off the hook for the past month!
"What? The number-one player, Wang Shen, is taking NPCs on robbery sprees every day. Are you going to do something about it or not?"
The players were furious. "We can't attack the NPCs because their names are green, and Wang Shen's decked out in top-tier gear, so we can't beat him. Come clean! Is he one of your planted players?!"
"Dear player, please calm down~"
The customer service rep and senior sister of the sect kept smiling. "The survival of the fittest, where the strong prey on the weak, is the fairest way to play in the cultivation world!"
Players: ?
So that's fair game, huh? Then I'll rob them too!
From the sect map all the way to the newly opened open world, the more the players robbed, the more hooked they got, and the more they acted like bandits. Then, after they accidentally robbed the demons, they successfully triggered the world-class quest [The War Between Humans and Demons]!
When they saw the infuriating true faces of the sect leader and the mysterious junior uncle in the pre-battle briefing cutscene, the players finally understood.
"What top player? What NPC? This is obviously the developers forcing us to spend money!"
", F*** you, give us our money back!!"
