Su Ming’an opened his eyes and reached out—

"Meow~"

The white cat that attempted to step on his head was pulled down by him and thrown onto the ground.

The white cat rolled into a fluffy ball and let out a resentful cry.

Su Ming’an knew there must be something off about this white cat; otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to jump out of the pet enclosure on its own every time he returned.

Even the black cat gifted by Lv Shu didn’t possess this ability, yet this white cat could repeatedly come and go without his permission.

Therefore, he had never invested any Points into these two cats.

He had no desire to gravitate towards the Beast Tamer Occupation, let alone even think about finding a Battle Companion. Traumatized by betrayal, he wouldn’t place his trust in something like combat pets.

After discarding the white cat, he laid back directly; he knew the single bed inside his personal space was right there.

This place was closed off and narrow, barely enough for one person to move around in. He didn’t need to look to know what kind of furnishings surrounded him.

...Routine catch-up sleep.

Though the Seventh World was far less exhausting than the Sixth World’s Underworld, for him, it was still very tiring. As the one acting under Su Rin’s identity, he had to handle the intertwining of visible and hidden threads, the balance between the Soul Clan and Soul Hunter Faction, the principles of reciprocity, the sudden events of Sea Monsters, and the targeting by the real Su Rin at the last moment...

Moreover, due to the addition of nighttime instances, he couldn’t even get a good night’s sleep.

He sank into the bedding, closed his eyes, and the system voice by his ear immediately quieted down.

...

When Su Ming’an woke up again, he opened the interface and saw that he had received a message.

The messages were from Lv Shu, Noel, and Lin Yin.

He had returned on the night of December 29th, 2021, and now it was the afternoon of December 30th after sleeping through the day—he guessed the others had also finished resting.

Instead of hurriedly opening the messages, he listened as the system continued to report the loot from the Seventh World instance.

That’s right, he remembered... he still had to visit the United Group today...

...

"Ding dong!"

[Congratulations on a Perfect Pass!]

...

After a flurry of settlement text scrolled across the system panel, a sudden flash of white light appeared.

A brilliant white light rose on the back of his hand, marking his sixth Perfect Pass.

Looking at the number of remaining players, 135,684,258, Su Ming’an was somewhat surprised.

He remembered that at the beginning of the Seventh World, there were just over two hundred million participants, but by the end, more than one hundred million had survived. He had not expected this instance to have a survival rate of over half.

It seemed that, as time went on, players also gained more experience in surviving instances.

The overall difficulty of the Seventh World was not very high, the indigenous Soul Hunters were very responsible, and as long as a player could cling to a powerful ally, or stay far away from the core of the conflict from the beginning, survival was entirely possible.

For ordinary players, the Maritime Banquet seems so much more festive compared to White Sand Paradise.

Perhaps, on the world forums right now, there must be nothing but praise and prospects for this survival number. Compared to the previous figure of just over twenty million players left, this survival rate is indeed delightful.

...

[Rewards have been distributed!]

[You have successfully advanced to Ruler·Third Rank.]

[New privilege acquired: Follower]

[（Ruler·Follower）: You can recruit NPCs who are completely favorable towards you as "followers" (this action requires the consent of the other party), limited to one use per instance.

...

Su Ming’an hadn’t expected that the reward for becoming a Third Rank Ruler would be this.

...Does this mean he’s supposed to start a mutiny in the Main God World?

He already possessed the skill to forcibly raise the favorability of NPCs, and coupled with this new skill to convert fully favorable NPCs into followers, it seemed somewhat unreasonable.

He didn’t know if NPCs would have their strength reduced after becoming followers, as previously both Moli and Qingqing were weak and didn’t exhibit obvious strengths, nor did he intend for them to fight.

But if their strength would not be reduced...

He added this skill to his plan and decided to experiment with it later.

He opened the communicator.

At the top was Lv Shu’s communication, the first person to have contacted him, leaving a record.

He dialed back, and the image promptly appeared.

Lv Shu was sitting by a wooden window, with the familiar square and fountain of the Main God World visible outside, seemingly in a private room of a tea house.

"Mo Wen has disappeared," Lv Shu spoke first.

Mo Wen was the team’s fifth member who had gone missing ever since he’d visited The Great Library, without a trace since then.

"Right," Su Ming’an said, "Mo Wen is Mo Yan’s brother?"

"Yes," said Lv Shu, "Mo Wen is the younger brother of that Mo Yan you met in the Sixth World, they also have an eldest brother named Mo Xiao, who is suffering from mental trauma in White Sand Paradise and is now being treated in the hospital of the United Group."

"Three brothers?" Su Ming’an said.

"Correct," Lv Shu replied, "I conducted a preliminary investigation this morning and also asked Mo Yan... He said that if Mo Wen were to return, he would definitely appear at the villa the three brothers bought together. But he never did... there’s only one possibility..."

Lv Shu’s voice hesitated slightly.

"Mo Wen has given up his Player identity," Su Ming’an filled in.

"Yes," Lv Shu sighed, "The Great Library... might offer special permissions to certain identities, and after Mo Wen went there, he was tempted."

His words trailed off, and there was silence between them for a moment.

From the tea house where Lv Shu was, the sound of human voices could faintly be heard, it must be a rather lively place.

The guests downstairs seem to be joyously celebrating the Seventh World’s survival rate.

For these players, a temporary achievement is still an accomplishment, marking the first step in lifting the gloom since White Sand Paradise, and it also starts the new year off on a good note in two days’ time.

A good start for 2022.

"...Being tempted is normal," Su Ming’an began after a moment. "After all, the special identity of an Observer... it’s indeed very attractive, especially to those players with lesser strength. For them, rather than getting treated like a dog in the game, it’s better to stay in the beautiful Otherworld, enjoying power and strength."

For the remaining committed players, the choices of those people seemed cruel.

Like Mo Yan.

His eldest brother, Mo Xiao, became a madman due to mental trauma, and his second brother, Mo Wen, succumbed to temptation and became an Observer, while he himself struggled desperately in the World game as a player...

Situations like this must exist among the players as well.

After a brief chat with Lv Shu, Su Ming’an ended the communication.

Then it was Lin Yin’s call.

Lin Yin’s tone was lively, and she didn’t touch on matters related to the World game. She seemed to be a girl who knew how to have fun, spending the entire time suggesting places for the group to visit tomorrow, which helped lighten Su Ming’an’s somewhat heavy mood.

"...Let’s go to a comic convention! I heard that there’s a huge comic convention at the end of the year in First World—organized by the United Group, no less, so it’s bound to be official!" Lin Yin said excitedly.

Su Ming’an was puzzled: "The United Group is into this kind of thing?"

"The United Group also has a lot of young people, you know. Don’t imagine everyone there is some old fossil!" Lin Yin said with a laugh. "Besides, I guess this is a result of their internal deliberations. In addition to comic conventions aimed at young people, they also established text museums, annual meetings, lantern festivals, and post-Christmas celebrations, as well as World Pictures Cultural Museums aimed at the general public. I guess they want to enhance public recognition of their authority, which is a good thing. Since we are young, I thought of taking you guys to the comic convention for fun."

After thinking about the crowded situation of the annual comic convention on Zhai Xing, Su Ming’an decisively refused: "No way."

If their whole team went to such a place, wouldn’t that be a mess? The comic convention would turn into Number One Player’s exhibition—it would be like a panda making a personal appearance. Total chaos.

"I knew it..." Lin Yin’s dark eyes rolled, and a sly smile appeared on her face. "That’s what you don’t understand. The comic convention in the World game and the ones on Zhai Xing—are they the same thing?"

Su Ming’an sensed something ominous.

"Could it be that there are people cosplaying as top-ranked players?" he asked.

"Bingo," Lin Yin snapped her fingers, her smile brighter than before. "There are already many cosplay groups gathering, you see. The World forum’s new temporary section ’World Game’s Annual Comic Convention’ is full of cosplayers who look almost exactly like us. Even if our team went, we’d be taken for extremely accurate cosplayers... You see, isn’t this clever? Otherwise, we’d have to go everywhere shrouded in privacy Black Mist—boring, right... Only such places can allow us to enter without any cover—And let me tell you, apart from cosplaying players, there are also many who have prepared plays, like impersonating Qin Wang and Holy Initiation for the scripts, or dancing as Pulaya girls, it’s really fun! I’ve never seen this before, we must go!"

Hmm...

Su Ming’an thought it over.

Remembering a promise he made on the crow, he sighed.

"Fine," he said. "But if we’re exposed, I will immediately use Spatial Displacement, and don’t blame me for abandoning you."

If they were exposed in such a setting, it would be a terrifying disaster. He didn’t want to imagine, after accumulating reputation through several worlds, that the frenzied bunch would be as polite to him as they were when the First World ended.

"Hehehe. Okay, okay, I’ll go get the tickets now!" Lin Yin made an "ok" sign with her fingers and flicked her black braids, "Just wait for me and Noel to organize the itinerary. I’m going to make sure you have a worry-free, happy birthday tomorrow!"

With a "click," the call was disconnected.

Su Ming’an reached out to Noel.

But Noel seemed to be busy, and after a few "du-du" sounds, there was no response.

Su Ming’an ended the communication and opened the human race’s Points progress bar.

...

[28.1%]

...

It seemed like a very encouraging number.

On the World forum, many people were already singing the praises of their bright future.
