Alternate Dimension Game: Happiness is all that matters!
Chapter 147 - 138: An Ingenious Method!

Chapter 147: Chapter 138: An Ingenious Method!

Wang Hao sat at the table, his head buzzing with thoughts.

"Chess Players will not fall, for they have already anticipated their own downfall and transformed that possibility into the next move."

Li Xianfeng’s actions must have been intentional.

He looked again at the clues Li Xianfeng had left behind.

["Since the Blood Demon’s power has already established itself, given time, it will inevitably brew disaster. Rather than breaking without rebuilding, it is only by entrusting one’s wishes to posterity that a ray of hope remains."]

He vaguely understood!

The fierce clan warfare in the village had not killed all the monsters, nor had it killed all the residents of Taoyuan Village.

Afterward, the clans in the village had entered a state of relative equilibrium.

The two camps began to negotiate peace.

Yes, humans possess subjective initiative. No one wants to be at war indefinitely.

The Demon Gods behind the scenes are skilled in calculation but unable to fully control human thought.

Therefore, the people of Taoyuan Village were likely to compromise and concede a portion of the well water.

Some of the monsters who wanted to recover their senses drank the water from the well and no longer fought the residents of Taoyuan Village.

They just wanted to barely survive outside the village.

Comrade Li Xianfeng, however, was not quite satisfied with this low-intensity state.

The Demon God’s patience is infinite. Given a significant amount of time, more and more monsters would join from outside, and the people of Taoyuan Village would also reproduce and grow, increasing the number anchored to the village.

Everything in the village would eventually return to the way it was. All efforts would become futile.

So, what to do?

He chose to become a tree and voluntarily nailed himself by the side of the well.

"So, Old Li joined the Blood Demon’s side..." Wang Hao tapped the table lightly with his fingernail.

This brainstorm was far too wild, and he was utterly engrossed in it, unable to extricate himself.

As for how Li Xianfeng transformed into a monster, Wang Hao had many ideas.

Monsters can be killed, but the Blood Demon’s power is difficult to completely eradicate.

For instance, the old man with the Blood Ginseng... Once the old man died, the Blood Ginseng would grow back and a new entity would form.

After a great battle, Li Xianfeng could have collected some Strange Objects constructed from the Blood Demon’s power.

By consuming these Strange Objects, one could turn oneself into a monster.

"Therefore, Old Li Xianfeng, likely chose to turn into a monster on his own initiative."

"Then, what impact would nailing himself by the well have?"

The impact was—he himself had become an anchor for the Blood Demon.

Moreover, this anchor was perfectly placed by the well.

The behind-the-scenes boss, the Blood Demon, could radiate its power through this peculiar tree and further contend for the "well," the highest quality anchor.

It gave up on the sea because those damn non-humans never jumped into the sea.

It wanted the well only!

This move was in great alignment with the Blood Demon’s interests, yet contradicted those of the Spirit Demon.

As a result, the struggle between the Subordinate Demon Gods began once again!

Under the Blood Demon’s no-expense-spared ability transfer, this peculiar tree became extremely powerful!

It wore down the people of Taoyuan Village so much that they had no strength to resist.

They could only resist the tree at fixed times and capture "spiritual children" from the outside world to collect water.

"The Spirit Demon also has another high-quality anchor—the well. Through the water from this well, it can control the residents of Taoyuan Village for a long period."

"And now, the Blood Demon is unable to contend for the sea, so it can only compete for this well. The well carries much higher quality than the sea."

"If the well is taken away, the ’Spirit Demon’ will lose its highest quality anchor."

For the massive beings in the Etheric Abyss, losing all anchors has severe consequences, requiring continuous consumption of their own energy to resist the force of idealism.

The entire process will gradually weaken them, then they will be hunted by other opponents.

The cruel battle among the Demon Gods does not include the type of compromise and concession found in humans.

The stronger side will try everything to kill the weaker one.

Just as it’s stated in the Gospel of Matthew: "For unto everyone that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath."

This sentence actually describes the harsh environment of the Etheric Abyss.

Having analyzed this far, it was already quite clear.

"In other words, Li Xianfeng’s series of actions were initially meant to instigate internal strife."

"But unexpectedly, in the face-to-face close-quarter battle, the Spirit Demon was defeated bit by bit and actually perished..."

"Then, the Blood Demon devoured another Subordinate Demon God and in the next forty years, its power rapidly expanded. Ending up with the ’well,’ the strongest anchor, it continued to swell into the terrifying being capable of devouring the entire world as seen in ’Binge Eating Heaven II’!"

Of course, this affair couldn’t be blamed on Old Li, after all, human computing power is limited.

No one could have imagined that "Spirit Demon," also a Subordinate Demon God, would be so subpar. In just 140 years, it was already on its last legs.

Without Li’s divine intervention, these two creatures might have surfaced in our world by now.

By then, humanity would face the threat of not just one, but two Subordinate Demon Gods...

"What should I do now? The current Spirit Demon isn’t completely gone. It still has the power to fight back. Should I save this Subordinate Demon God?"

Wang Hao pondered for a while. As the next Chess Player representing humanity in the battle, the upcoming move was going to be a difficult one.

The first plan was to chop down that tree, to reduce the intensity of the face-off between the Spirit Demon and the Blood Demon.

As long as the Spirit Demon hadn’t been completely devoured, the Blood Demon in "Binge Eating Heaven II" probably wouldn’t have ballooned to such an extent.

"But how do I cut down the tree? If it were that easy, the residents of Taoyuan Village would have done it long ago."

Guest Lu Tianming had once traded a "Rune Blade." Wonder if it could chop down trees.

"Highly unlikely. The people of Taoyuan Village wield powers far greater than that of a Rune Blade."

"Besides, who am I, a worthless kid, to cut down a tree? Even with the exploration team’s eight rookies, it’s not possible."

The second plan was to kill most of the villagers! Clear out most of the anchors!

This was also a method once used by Li Xianfeng.

For the vast entities deep in the Etheric Abyss, maintaining "anchors" requires a great deal of power.

If the anchors thrown out were to perish before being retrieved, it would entail significant loss for them.

The covert battle between the Blood Demon and the Spirit Demon was reaching a fever pitch over that well.

Like those adventure teams searching for the "Fountain of Youth," it’s uncertain which side lured them in. And as for "It," the entity that you die when discussing, it’s also unclear whether it’s the doing of the "Spirit Demon" or the "Blood Demon"...

All kinds of strange customs, completely unclear what’s actually going on.

But regardless of what these two entities concoct from their crooked paths, as long as all the anchors are cleared, it will surely hinder their ascension!

"Speaking of which, how do I clear most of the anchors? I can’t beat the aberrations, and the exploration team, fighting tooth and nail, can only handle the weakest ones."

A mysterious smile emerged on Wang Hao’s face as he hatched his plan.

Simple.

"IT"!

Merely speaking "It’s" name, discussing "Its" nature, "It" would truly appear and take away all the souls of those who speak.

Whether "It" was created by the "Spirit Demon" or the "Blood Demon," does it matter?

No, it does not.

The rule is too domineering. There’s potential to exploit it.

As an idealistic construct, even a Demon God must follow its own rules; that’s an iron law! It might be able to slowly change its own rules, but that takes a considerable amount of time.

"Ah, technology, my dear technology, even Demon Gods cannot foresee the emergence of technology, bringing endless possibilities!"

"All I need is a high-volume speaker to play the rules of ’It’ in the village, and I can wipe out everyone there!"

"Ahaha, turns out the exploration team brought me a high-volume speaker, not just some disposable extras!"

The greatest value of the exploration team lay in their possession of high-volume speakers!

"They should have one, right?"

I searched the web and found that these devices became widespread in the eighties.

Many rural areas had installed high-volume speakers to broadcast the news every day, fulfilling their spiritual needs.

This well-equipped exploration team was very likely to have a high-volume speaker.

After analyzing all of this, Wang Hao was so thrilled that he practically went mad with adrenaline pumping, as if he had drunk an elixir of the gods, feeling tipsy with his body starting to heat up.

The delicious feeling of cutting a bloody path out of desperation was too wonderful. Even though he had not cleared the game yet, he was already experiencing a mental climax.

"Good, very good."

"In the next reincarnation, I’m going to wipe you all out!"

"Damn you, aberrant old man. Damn you, granny."

It’s really hard to balance the difficulty of a game. If it’s too high, players abandon it in an instant. Nowadays, people pursue fast-paced entertainment, favoring bite-sized information, with far more short-video users than long-video ones.

Children can play games, but they mustn’t watch short videos, or their brain mechanisms will be damaged, unable to concentrate in class, and their grades will most likely suffer.

But if the game’s difficulty is too low, it becomes boring, turning into "baby mode."

However, the difficulty level of this game has been well-controlled, recommending the purchase of an "Unlimited Resurrection Voucher" from the start, greatly reducing the frustration felt by players.

After indulging in the joy of solving the puzzle for two minutes, Wang Hao gradually recovered from his mental high.

He started to think about some detailed issues.

"Next up, I need to consider the game’s completion rate."

"Never mind, let’s practice first and then look for ways to optimize the outcome."

Before the new cycle began, he first checked the game store to see if there were any speakers.

With every script cleared, the store adds new items.

He had cleared "Strange Object Auction," "The Downfall of Li Family Village," "The Sea Turtle Soup Game," "Paradise," and "Binge Eating Heaven," these five scenarios.

Naturally, a considerable number of items had appeared in the store. Some, if used well, could significantly lower the difficulty.
