"Cataclysm OL" official website.

Today, the official site unusually had no updates, but the forum was as bustling as ever.

Yiye Zhiqu: "Guys!!! The completion level of this game is even higher than we imagined! Hu Wan and I scouted around and discovered that outside the maze, there isn't just a human city, but also realistic mountains, rivers, and even the sea!"

Gou Shi: "WTF?!"

Pig-Head Knight: "Really?!"

Village Elder at the Entrance: "Did you see any monsters in the sea?!"

Yiye Zhiqu: "We didn't see that, we just took a stroll along the shore and then continued southwest. There was an endless swamp, squeezed between the coastline and the mountain range, stretching southward. We encountered several different species of Lizardmen who could use tools and fire."

Yiye Zhiqu: "I can only speculate that this area is probably outside the realm of human influence and belongs to the territory of the Lizardmen..."

Yiye Zhiqu: "Right, I'll start a new thread later and update the map there. The game doesn't have a screenshot feature, so bear with my crude hand drawing."

Dragon-Slaying Brave: "Bro, I know you're an insider, just give me a beta account please. T.T"

Unyielding Lifetime: "Go on, keep making up stories, let's see how far you can go. (Lol) (Sweating soybeans)"

Past Like Smoke: "Any recommendations for second-hand equipment? Budget 500 bucks, urgent..."

Gou Shi: "Asking out of ignorance, is that the compensation? Feels like the budget has increased. (Funny)"

Hu Wan: "No, mate, with that budget, you could actually get a new one. (Sweat)"

"..."

...

The sun sets in the west.

Luo Yan, who had been revising his coursework for half a day, leaned back in his chair, stretched lazily, and took a quick sneak peek at the forum's clownery.

Truth be told, this bunch is talented.

There are those asking to buy Joss Paper to send to their deceased grandma, those asking for big shots to carry them even though they haven't entered the game yet, and those posting selfies and CPDD...

"Cloud gamers are starting to increase, it really won't do to not manage this."

Luo Yan pondered for a moment, then instructed Youyou.

"Youyou, if it's possible, set up a player-only section of the forum where only players can post."

"Also, mark the soul level from the game on the player accounts' main page and the floating display. If someone hasn't even entered the game, just mark them as an apprentice."

Youyou: "Mm-hmm, leave it to me, Lord Demon King!"

Of course, this task could only be entrusted to it.

Luo Yan himself has no operating permissions, unable to even speak on the forum if he wished to.

Not that he had anything to say, anyway.

After all, the clever little players had already said everything he wanted to say for him.

As mealtime approached, Luo Yan got up and wandered to the kitchen. He hummed a tune and cooked himself a bowl of salted meat porridge and even roasted half a Lizardman tail on the side.

According to Professor Enos's experience, if you don't know which part of a monster is edible, the tail is a good bet. As long as it's cooked, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

He didn't know why exactly, but it's what the adventurers in this world did anyway.

As for the stove to cook the rice, it was naturally a magic circle.

Compared to fire started with wood, the fire from a magic circle may lack a bit of soul, but it also lacks the smoke and carbon monoxide produced by combustion.

Actually, this is a pretty amazing ability.

Perhaps due to the lack of enlightenment and liberation of thoughts, people of this world haven't realized that they are actually in possession of incredible black technology.

This includes, but is not limited to, "refrigerators that don't require refrigerants" and "air exchangers that don't need to connect with the outside."

Luo Yan purposely made extra for dinner, instructing the players to send some of the leftover porridge to the captives, while he took the roasted Lizardman tail to the NPC shop counter to tease the adorable cat girl, Sarah.

Sarah belongs to the type that finds anything delicious, her eyes lighting up at the sight of food, and her ears happily trembling as long as she's fed.

Watching the cat enjoy her tasty treat made Luo Yan feel like all the day's fatigue was cured.

Is this what being a pet owner feels like?

It would be perfect if a dog could join the lineup.

Meanwhile, the captives squatting in the Stone Prison looked enviously, jealously, and hatefully in Sarah's direction.

Stockholm syndrome is cultivated just like this, with envy being an early symptom.

After several consecutive days of, let's say, 'convincing' or scaring them, Luo Yan being a bit nicer to them had gradually made them see themselves as part of the Great Graveyard's crew.

Reksen remained silent as always, the Grey Dog was envious and in despair, Chris looked at Sarah with envy, just like Amu did.

The only difference was, Chris would add a phrase in her envy.

"Hmph, men... they're all about looks, jeez."

The Grey Dog silently glanced at Chris and then at Reksen, who had become mute in place of Bond.

"I suddenly feel... Chris is quite pretty too."

Reksen didn't even bother to lift an eyelid and said in a hoarse voice.

"I think you've been locked up too long."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone slammed against the Stone Prison like a vicious dog, hands tightly gripping the stone bars.

"What the hell do you mean by that—ahh ahh~"

"Quiet down."

Looking at the conflicting captive, Luo Yan couldn't be bothered to ask the reason, and directly hit them with a Soul Drain until they sat on the ground, their eyes rolling back. Then, he ended the discipline.

[Faith Points +1]

[Faith Points +1]

[...]

This time, the contributed faith points were fewer than before.

But this was actually a good sign.

According to Professor Enos's theory, prisoners would only stop providing faith power under interrogation in two situations.
