Dustfire unfolded, Fang Cheng began to listen to the players’ inner thoughts at this time.

“The more I play, the more confused I become. I’m clearly a detective, so why can’t I crack a single case?”

“My character is in great agony, and I can empathize with this pain. Nothing is more painful than knowing there are hidden details, but not having a single clue about them.”

“Who am I, where am I? I want to go on a killing spree, but whom can I kill?”

The Dustfire of “Wonderful Life” had turned into a chaotic milky white, which was also within Fang Cheng’s plan.

Drawing from past experiences, he altered his approach, making his strategies more variable.

If the players liked hunting for Easter eggs, then let the Easter eggs become part of his plan.

Let them think they’ve found an Easter egg, but in reality they are still within my control, and when they realise the original path leads to a more interesting one, my quest for enlightenment will also be fulfilled.

Looking at the milky white Dustfire, Fang Cheng felt it was quite interesting to match wits with the players.

Opening Bilibili, Fang Cheng saw that the number of videos related to “Wonderful Life” was increasing.

Previously, game-related videos were all about the fastest playthroughs for each profession, as well as the preferences and talents of each NPC inside.

But now, the videos had become about how to trigger the hard mode for each profession.

Through some subtle adjustments, characters of every profession could sense the abnormalities in the world, then fall deeper into the eerie atmosphere and start to become bewildered.

When bewilderment accumulates enough, players will fall into confusion just like their characters, and then realise that the normal gameplay is simply better.

Feeling that the situation was about right, Fang Cheng decided to start the next phase of his plan.

“Huang Ping, is the ranking system ready?” Fang Cheng asked.

“It is,” Huang Ping nodded, “But boss, are you sure you want to add only a speedrunning leaderboard? I feel like the players are no longer focusing on this.”

“It’s fine, a single speedrunning leaderboard will do. Make one for each profession so the players will concentrate on speedrunning.”

After all, plenty of bewilderment had been accumulated; it was time to guide the players back to the key point of the joy of ignorance.

Soon after a minor update, the speedrunning leaderboard went live.

Upon discovering the update to “Wonderful Life,” players excitedly updated the game, but became even more puzzled when they found that what was updated was a leaderboard.

They had thought that this update would supplement the hard mode, to make it clearer for players when playing in this mode.

But no one expected that the content of the update would be this.

We haven’t even cleared the hard mode yet, and you’re already asking us to compete for speed?

This leaderboard seems to be prepared for casual players, but with a high difficulty, who would challenge the normal level!

This is an insult to our gaming skills, do you understand!

However, players soon felt that speedrunning was actually quite fun.

The leaderboard also served to divert players’ attention; some gave up on further exploring the game’s puzzles and started chasing rankings on the leaderboard.

For speedrunning, all sorts of new efficient gameplay methods were discovered; more game mechanics and combinations were revealed due to speedrunning, making the game even more diverse.

Moreover, some professions seemed to exist for speedrunning, making their speedruns particularly spectacular to watch.

For example, the fisherman’s speedrun involved catching a hundred different types of fish. For this goal, players needed to know the location of all kinds of fish, understand their habits, then use different item combinations to achieve the goal of catching all the fish.

Fishing enthusiasts who saw related videos were thrilled, while non-fishing enthusiasts discovered that the top-ranked player’s hand speed and awareness was astonishingly high; they could enjoy high watchability even without pursuing puzzles, realizing that even without the mysteries, the game still had many interesting aspects.

Seeing the now distracted Dustfire, Fang Cheng was very satisfied.

His combination strike was out, and the players finally understood the message he wanted to convey, making him feel that his arrangements were not in vain.

Potential problems had been contained by him, and the gaming experience of “Wonderful Life” was moving closer to what he wanted players to feel and was also very much in line with Fang Cheng’s own ideas.

Although there were still some hardcore gamers constantly pursuing the truth behind everything, that group of players had considerably shrunk.

As long as their numbers dwindled to a certain extent, he would be able to attest his path.

Thinking this, Fang Cheng couldn’t help but smile softly, feeling that his ascent to greatness was just before his eyes.

Unlike the satisfied Fang Cheng, Qian Xiaohao and others were still diligently researching these puzzles.

He joined a group called “The Hardcore Gamer” with Eric; the players in the group were all undeniable hardcore gamers, with quite a few programming experts. They were there to unpack the game and test the rumors on a programming level.

Their goal was to unravel all the urban legends in the game, reducing the secrets within the game day by day.

But even they were forced to admit defeat in front of “Wonderful Life.”

Currently, they had abandoned the anchor storyline, and the avenger route was the one that had been confirmed to be the closest to the truth.
