You said you would make games by yourself, but how did you become the richest man by doing nothing?

The next second, the game program actually blew up a red balloon, then tied it to a corner of the title sign with a string, and gently pulled—

“Whoosh—”

The title sign actually floated up just like that and re-hung in the air!

Wang Lao Ju: “……”

Livestream: “……”

The barrage started frantically spamming:

[? ? ? ?]

[Game program: You tear it down, I fix it, let's see who can outlast who!]

[What kind of outrageous physics are these?!]

[Lao Ju, did you encounter a game that can resist?!]

Wang Lao Ju rubbed his temples and sighed deeply, “Good heavens, are you planning to wear me down until the end of time?”

The text on the screen immediately appeared, giving an unwavering response—

[If you don't quit, we'll continue.]

Wang Lao Ju raised an eyebrow, a sly smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, “You want me to quit? Impossible, I'm going to play you until you break down today!”

… …

After that, Wang Lao Ju picked up the T-shaped hammer and completely popped the balloon.

Now he needed a needle to pop the balloon.

A voice beside him: "Fortunately, to protect the game, I thought of everything."

Narration: "There is no game here anymore."

Wang Lao Ju: "That's a reasonable guess, I need a needle to pop the balloon."

Narration: "Go away! Don't play with that metal lettering anymore!"

“Alright, since you used a balloon to hang the title sign up, then I'll just pop the balloon directly and see what other tricks you can pull.”

[Lao Ju, you have to find a way to pop it!]

[Theoretically, as long as the balloon is destroyed, the entire title should fall down, right?]

[But the problem is, this game definitely won't let you pop it easily… …]

“Indeed, now I need a needle.”

Wang Lao Ju stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping around, trying to find usable props in the game scene.

However, just then, a new line of narration suddenly popped up on the screen—

[Fortunately, to protect the game, I thought of everything.]

Immediately afterward, the second line of text slowly appeared—

[There is no game here anymore.]

Wang Lao Ju raised an eyebrow and lightly clicked his tongue, the smile at the corner of his mouth becoming even more pronounced.

“Oh? You're quite good at defending.”

The livestream instantly exploded—

[Hahahaha, the game program is starting to defend and counterattack!]

[Planner: You think you can win?]

[Lao Ju: I'm going to tear you apart today!]

However, before Wang Lao Ju could take further action, the narration on the screen appeared once again.

[Go away! Don't play with that metal lettering anymore!]

Wang Lao Ju: “……”

He narrowed his eyes, slowly turned his head, and looked at the title sign that was still hanging in mid-air in the center of the screen.

—[Don't Play This Game]

These metal letters were still firmly fixed on the stage, although the previous chains had been cut, they were now barely maintained in the air by that red balloon.

Wang Lao Ju gently tapped the table, his eyes slightly lighting up.

“This ‘No’ character… …doesn't its shape look a bit like a hammer?”

With a light click of the mouse, the “No” character detached from the title again, transforming into a heavy T-shaped hammer, suspended on the screen.

The audience in the livestream instantly went wild—

[Hahaha, Lao Ju got the hammer again!]

[This game is really poisonous, even the fonts can turn into weapons!]

[Planner: If you dare to hammer, I'll… …]

[Lao Ju: I insist on hammering!]

Wang Lao Ju controlled the hammer, preparing to find the location of the balloon, but—

“Beep beep beep beep!”

The narration started frantically spamming again!

[No! You can't use the hammer! Put it down!]

[Go away! Don't play this game anymore!]

[Do you really want to do this?! Aren't you afraid of the consequences?!]

The corner of Wang Lao Ju's mouth twitched, and the barrage in the livestream laughed even harder—

[Hahahaha, the narration is getting anxious!]

[The AI is starting to beg for mercy!]

[This game is really outrageous, the program itself is about to collapse!]

However, Wang Lao Ju ignored these nonsense words, only staring at the screen, his eyes slightly narrowed.

“This narration of yours… …is a bit noisy.”

He raised his eyes, controlled the mouse, and swung the T-shaped hammer violently.

“Bang!!”

The hammer directly smashed onto the volume key icon in the upper right corner of the game interface!

“Clatter—”

The volume key icon actually fell off, like some kind of physical object, hitting the ground with a clatter and completely disappearing from the interface!

The entire game interface instantly quieted down.

The narration, never appeared again.

The livestream exploded—

[Holy crap, even the volume key can be hammered off?!]

[Hahahaha, the narration has been physically silenced!]

[Lao Ju, you really broke the game!]

[Planner: Are you a demon?!]

Wang Lao Ju gently exhaled, nodding his head in satisfaction, “Now my ears are finally clear.”

[Ultimate Strike]

Without the interference of the narration, Wang Lao Ju's gaze returned to the slowly floating red balloon.

He adjusted the position of the mouse, took a deep breath, and poked it sharply.

“Pop—!”

The balloon burst instantly!

At the same time, the metal title sign, having lost its support, crashed down with a muffled bang, and the entire screen shook violently!

The barrage in the livestream rolled frantically—

[Success! The balloon is broken!]

[The title sign finally fell down!]

[Lao Ju, how did you do it?!]

[Can this game still be played?!]

However, just as the title sign completely fell, the screen suddenly went black.

After a brief silence, a line of small white text slowly appeared on the screen—

[You won… …]

[But do you really think this is the end?]

Wang Lao Ju blinked, slowly picked up the cola next to him, took a light sip, and raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth.

“Heh… …then let's open the game again and see what other tricks you can play.”

He reached out and clicked the game's launch icon again without hesitation.

Wang Lao Ju slowly stretched, looking at the game interface on the screen that he had torn apart, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

“Okay, I completely understand the method to clear this game.”

He paused, his eyes flashing with excitement, and slowly said—

“It’s about breaking out of conventional thinking and ideas.”

The barrage in the livestream instantly rolled frantically—

[Holy crap, philosophical sublimation?!]

[Does this game really have a clear method?]

[So, what the hell did the planner of Peach Blossom Spring make?!]

[Old Ju, have you finally realized it?]

However, just as Wang Lao Ju confidently summarized his strategy for clearing the game, the narration on the screen spoke again.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

「If you want to smash things, you should play the 《Call of Duty》series.」

“……”

Wang Lao Ju's smile slightly froze, and the audience in the live broadcast room instantly burst into laughter—

【Hahahaha, the game program actually started being sarcastic!】

【Narration: Did you play the wrong game?】

【The planners of Peach Blossom Village are really geniuses, this game's trash-talking ability is too strong!】

“Alright, so you can even mock me now, huh?”

Wang Lao Ju lightly clicked his tongue, touched his chin, and scanned the game interface again.

Even though the game interface had been torn apart by him, the stage backdrop remained intact. The metal plate, gleaming with metallic luster, was still firmly fixed in the depths of the screen, as if hiding some secret that didn't want to be discovered.

“Then… let's see what's hidden behind this backdrop, shall we?”

He narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the letter “T” on the screen, a sly smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

【The True Purpose of the Letter T】

Previously, he had discovered that some of the fonts in the game could be turned into physical props, such as the character “不” (bù, no) turning into a hammer, and now—

The shape of the letter “T,” no matter how you look at it, resembles the handle of a screwdriver!

“Heh heh, the planners probably didn't expect that I could play it this way, right?”

Wang Lao Ju controlled the mouse and clicked lightly. The letter “T” immediately seemed to be endowed with new physical properties, directly detaching from the text on the screen and floating in mid-air.

At the same time, four obvious screws were revealed at the four corners of the backdrop!

The audience in the live broadcast room instantly exploded—

【Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap?!】

【This backdrop can actually be removed?!】

【You're not playing the game at all, you're dismantling the game!】

【Did the planners really consider that players would play to this extent?!】

Wang Lao Ju gently licked his lips, a hint of excitement appearing in his eyes—

“Since you don't want me to play, I'm going to play to the end.”

He controlled the mouse, using the “T” letter transformed into a screwdriver, aimed at the first screw, and began to twist!

“Click, click, click…”

On the screen, the screw gently rotated, slowly loosening.

“Click!”

The first screw fell!

“Click!”

The second screw loosened!

“Click! Click!”

The third, the fourth…

“Boom—!”

As the last screw was completely unscrewed, the entire backdrop suddenly fell backward, revealing a secret space hidden deep within the game!

In the darkness, a faint blue light emerged.

Just as Wang Lao Ju and the audience in the live broadcast room held their breath, wondering what would happen next, a strange pattern slowly emerged from the darkness—

An… octopus?

It had a round body, its eight tentacles swaying slightly, its eyes blinking, as if it was sizing up Wang Lao Ju, who had just exposed the truth of the game.

Most importantly, the octopus had four large characters printed on its belly—

「Start Game」

“？？？”

Wang Lao Ju's pupils constricted, and the barrage in the live broadcast room instantly exploded—

【Wait, this game… is only starting now?!】

【Holy crap, am I seeing things?!】

【So everything before was a fake game?!】

【Peach Blossom Village, are you guys really sick?!】

Wang Lao Ju slowly put down the mouse, took a deep breath, and a shocked and helpless smile appeared on his face.

“So… all my previous efforts were just playing a preliminary stage to ‘enter the game’?”

He looked down at the game time in the lower right corner, and two hours had already passed.

—Two hours, he spent dismantling the interface, smashing the title, playing brick breaker, cutting chains, and even fighting wits with the narration in the game.

As a result…

The game is only just beginning now?!

What kind of outrageous design is this?!

The barrage in the live broadcast room had completely gone crazy—

【Peach Blossom Village, are you devils?!】

【Planner: Congratulations, you've finally found the real game!】

【I've already given up on thinking, what exactly is this game?!】

【Old Ju, do you still dare to click on that octopus's belly?!】

Wang Lao Ju took a deep breath, slowly raised his right hand, and gently reached for the mouse.

“Since you've already gone this far, if I don't click it, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?”

The mouse moved gently, the cursor slowly hovering over the octopus's belly, aiming at the four large characters "Start Game".

The blue light on the screen trembled slightly, as if waiting for some irreversible fate to befall.

The audience in the live broadcast room held their breath, waiting for the final result.

Wang Lao Ju licked his lips, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and gently—

“Ding—”

The mouse clicked lightly, the cursor accurately landing on the four words “Start Game” on the octopus's belly.

The screen instantly went black, as if the power of the entire world had been cut off, all sounds and light disappearing.

—Then, a faint blue light slowly emerged, as if some ancient machine was restarting.

Wang Lao Ju widened his eyes, feeling as if he was being sucked into some unknown abyss, and the barrage in the live broadcast room instantly exploded—

【Holy crap, it really started?!】

【So the previous two hours weren't the main game?!】

【The planners of Peach Blossom Village, you guys are really sick!】

【I'm already dumbfounded, when exactly is the end of the game?!】

However, before everyone could recover from the shock, a new scene slowly appeared on the screen.

Wang Lao Ju guessed, this must be the real game's main interface?

This time, the scene was no longer a stage, no longer a metal plate, and no longer those strange interactive interfaces.

What replaced them was a vast and boundless void.

Wang Lao Ju's character—the small black shadow that had been controlled all along—floated in the void, with nothing around it except endless darkness and the occasional flashing blue data stream.

—As if it were the code world of some game.

Then, a line of white text slowly appeared in the center of the screen—

「Welcome to the Real Game.」

「The rules are simple.」

「Find the Exit.」

Wang Lao Ju blinked his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of excited smile.

“Heh… as expected, things are far from over.” (End of this chapter)
