Chapter 426: Chapter 423: "The Luckiest Curse." (Additional Chapter 4/5 by Alliance Hierarch Wang Chuan Chuan)

Su Ming’an swiftly shifted his attention away from the embarrassing play on the stage.

He stood by a booth, simply taking a look around.

Apart from the stage play, there were numerous small games in the venue, just as intriguing as those he had experienced in the morning—like escape rooms, puzzle competitions, psychic dance machines, virtual reality systems, weather simulation systems, World Game knowledge contests, and instance character simulation competitions. Various fresh activities filled each shop.

As for the booths, they also held many things closely related to the "World Game."

For instance, there were items like "Lighthouse Concept Analysis," "Human Progress Bar Points Estimate and Accounting Book," "Top Player Relationship Analysis," "World Game: I Could Know All the Plots" type of novels and books, as well as posters and figures of various famous characters, and so on.

Su Ming’an casually picked up a figure of himself which was quite exquisitely made, even the black cat on the shoulder looked lifelike.

Upon looking at the base of the figure, the words "Qianze House" made him instantly lose all interest.

This was from that unscrupulous peripheral store associated with Su-style.

These people really knew how to make money, no matter the world.

He put down the figure and looked towards the area named "Exhibition Hall."

There, various known skills were listed, provided by the compilation department of the United Group. Paintings of skill effects along with textual explanations were hung on the walls, attracting many players to stop and discuss.

Next to it, there were storyline decomposition diagrams for seven World Replicas, with experts wearing microphones responsible for the explanation.

Based on the various HE, NE, TE endings, they had initially analyzed a game’s orderly process flow.

The terrifying, Underworld instances, under the combined efforts of experts, were being gradually decomposed, peeled open, dissected—until transformed into clear text and complete process diagrams, presented before everyone on this particular day.

It seemed, no matter how complex, how difficult the problem, it could gradually be simplified before human wisdom.

In a flood-like torrent, a grain of sand was insignificant.

But when these grains of sand gathered together, they could easily generate such significant impact.

Casual Players, who liked these things, seemed extremely useless at a glance. But when they were organized and orderly gathered, they too could form such a grand, worldwide assembly.

Humans are a gregarious species.

The wisdom of a group, although sometimes obscured and suppressed, once orderly converged, could surpass the strength of an individual.

Organizations like the United Group initiating such events was certainly not solely for fun or to promote derivative entertainments that lead to indolence.

The unfamiliar New World, all the cultures derived from it, and the achievements formed by the analysis of human wisdom such as the Information Exhibition Hall, strategy decomposition diagrams, comprehensive skill prop lexicons...right now, they were laid out distinctly before everyone’s eyes.

When these products were arranged one by one, one row after another, filling this vast area and transforming it into an entirely different small space, people would profoundly realize the wisdom of their group.

This seemingly recreational exhibition, while relaxing everyone, was actually brewing a future that filled them with confidence.

It planted a seed of hope in the hearts of every visitor.

"..."

At this thought, Su Ming’an stopped thinking.

...It was supposed to be a birthday, yet his thoughts could not help but drift in this direction.

He glanced at the other three’s movements.

Noel... Noel had already become engrossed in taking photos with cosplayers, while Lin Yin and Lv Shu lingered at some fanzine booths.

Suddenly, Su Ming’an noticed that last night, Noel had sent him a message.

Since he had already fallen asleep then, he hadn’t noticed this historical message.

The message was sent at two o’clock in the morning; Noel, incredibly, was still staying up late at that time.

He opened the message box.

...

[Noel: This is information from the Eighth World, and a benefit of my "Watcher" status.]

[Noel: You might want to pay attention. In my judgment, the difficulty of this instance should be higher than that of the Fourth World.]

...

Su Ming’an opened the data sent by Noel.

The blue panel materialized before his eyes.

...

[Eighth World · Divine Festival]

[World Type: Multiple Instance Collection World, Hundred-Person Summit Competition World]

[Key Prop: Inscription]

[Key to Success: Collect "Silver Stars" in the instance and fight alongside your "Guide."]

[World Elements: Sacrifice, Exchange, Offering, Disaster, Deception, Curse, Nurturing, Bonds, Rebirth, Endless Reincarnation]

["Bai Shen represents singularity and perfection, while Jiu Shen represents reincarnation and imperfection."]

["To the warriors who have come here,"]

["I will forge for you the most fortunate curse with the eternity of time, the changes of the years, and the blood of the Guide."]

...

Su Ming’an closed the interface.

"Divine Festival."

This world name...is rather complicated.

Anything related to "God" is never easy to deal with.

Moreover, what exactly are these "Silver Stars"? Are they a condition for passing through? Is this... like a faction leaderboard in a competitive world?

Additionally, Su Ming’an was also very concerned about the "Multiple Instance Collection World" mentioned in the world type.

And in the key points for success, the "Guide" who can fight alongside players.

What does "multiple instances" mean? Could it be that players will also be placed in different instances? Could the Guide possibly be an NPC that can assist players?

The information was simply too scant for him to make any judgments.

But from these few lines alone, it was clear that this world was nothing simple.

He turned and glanced at the three people still busy at work.

After pausing his thoughts temporarily, he headed to a nearby "Instance Character Exhibition Hall."

This exhibition hall was also a major reason why he was willing to come here.

The walls of the hall were adorned with images of well-known characters from various instances, along with their biographical information and personal data, resembling a hall of fame for notable figures.

The rows of glass cabinets below displayed replicated items of characters, such as Hui Shuhang’s scepter, Bai Xiong’s fountain pen, Dong Xue’s pendant, and other items.

His gaze swept across areas dedicated to Duoduo, Nuoliya, Bai Xiong, Moli, Berly, Qin Wang, Hui Shuhang, Holy Initiation, Dong Xue, Xia Luoyang, and others... and passed by Aelas, Archilev, Clifford, and others...

His steps moved onwards, sweeping past glass displays one after another.

Finally, he stopped in front of the biographical information of one individual.

He removed his mask.

Before him on the wall, there hung a sharp, clear screenshot.

The visage of a blond young man was etched onto the paper on the wall.
