Moreover, those wondrous rules are mixed within, imitating the actions of people inside, making it very difficult to distinguish them.
If one were to do it themselves, they would need to discern each one individually, constantly observing, only then could they distinguish them.
After much thought, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord realized that this problem was not easy for him to solve, and it seemed he could only contact Fang Cheng.
He tidied up his appearance and respectfully called out Fang Cheng’s name, then he saw Fang Cheng appear before him.
It had been several days since they last met, and the Great Heavenly Lord in front of him did not seem in a good mood.
His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, as if pondering over an exceedingly important and difficult problem. His gaze frequently drifted, as if reaching out into the infinite cosmos, towards the shores of truth.
If even the Great Heavenly Lord struggled with this problem, it must be as challenging as ascending to the heavens, beyond his own understanding and help.
And just thinking that he had to call upon the Great Heavenly Lord at such a critical moment filled Zhiyi Heavenly Lord with guilt.
“Great Heavenly Lord, if you are busy, just let me know, there’s no need to make a special trip,” he said.
“It’s not a problem,” Fang Cheng waved his hand, “I’m temporarily out of inspiration, so taking a walk is quite good. So, what’s the situation?”
Zhiyi Heavenly Lord was deeply moved.
Others said that Heavenly Lord Fang was unapproachable, spoke too bluntly, but these days of interaction revealed to him that Heavenly Lord Fang was actually quite decent.
To alleviate his own guilt, he simply made up a reason, and just that was enough to touch Zhiyi Heavenly Lord deeply.
Clearly, others were simply envious, secretly slandering the Great Heavenly Lord.
Not daring to waste any more of Fang Cheng’s time, Zhiyi Heavenly Lord raised an eyebrow, and the doubts that had troubled him recently flew out of his mind.

Fang Cheng caught the doubts of Zhiyi Heavenly Lord, and after going through them, he became thoughtfully, his eyebrows also relaxing a bit.
Afterwards, Fang Cheng personally probed the situation inside and then said, “I understand now, within these illusions, the Divine Sense of a Heavenly Lord has limited efficacy, so one still needs to examine everything bit by bit, which makes the process very inefficient. However, if others assist in the investigation, the efficiency would be much higher.”
“Exactly,” nodded Zhiyi Heavenly Lord, “However, the interior of the block is extremely dangerous, and without the power of an Immortal, one might turn to ashes upon entering. And Immortals are so hard to find these days, where should we look for them?”
“Isn’t that a coincidence,” pointing towards where Immortal Road was situated, Fang Cheng said with satisfaction.
Letting Zhiyi Heavenly Lord continue to keep watch, Fang Cheng returned to his workshop and then announced the production of the new DLC for “Immortal Road”.
Upon hearing that “Immortal Road” was releasing new DLC, Huang Ping asked in confusion, “Boss, what’s going to be in the new DLC?”
“It’s a place with special rules where players, having become Immortals, enter. Players need to find a special NPC and select them together,” explained Fang Cheng.
Huang Ping thought for a moment, then said with confusion, “Boss, my description might not be accurate, so if I’m wrong, just tell me straight. This thing you’re making, isn’t it like a script murder game?”
Fang Cheng considered the definition of a script murder game.
Both involve action within a confined environment.
Both require finding a special NPC.
Both have their particular rules and ways to play.
It seems… indeed like a script murder game.
Seeing Fang Cheng nod, the others fell into speechlessness.
Boss, we know you enjoy playing against the grain.
But, this crossover has quite a span.
“Immortal Road” is originally a strategy game, but your DLC has jumped to script murder, the leap isn’t just vast, it’s nearly insurmountable.
Moreover, the condition to unlock the DLC is to have completed the game at least once, giving the impression that Fang Cheng wants to forcibly link two games together for a bundle sale.
After hesitating for a while, Huang Ping asked, “Then boss, how much will the DLC cost?”
“Let’s not charge for this one,” Fang Cheng decided.
After all, this was essentially asking players to work for him and Zhiyi Heavenly Lord without pay, which made him feel quite uneasy, and on the contrary, if he charged them, even the Demon Lord would spit in disgust and walk away.
Once he knew it was free, Huang Ping suddenly felt this wasn’t unfeasible.
After all, no matter how bizarre something was, the simple word “free” could make people forget all its faults and subsequently endorse the decision.
After all, if it’s given to you for free, what more could you want?
And after Huang Ping actually played through a few demos, he found this murder mystery game to be a lot more fun than he had imagined.
The atmosphere of the game was a bit peculiar, but with the prior groundwork laid by “Wonderful Life,” players had a certain foundation for this style of game, so they wouldn’t have too much trouble getting into it.
Moreover, the game’s scale was as big as Fang Cheng’s previous games.
The game had many instances, and though they seemed to be AI-generated, it still represented a considerable amount of work.
The few scenarios Huang Ping ran through himself were of high quality, and the few discordant elements within them were actually caused by the target NPCs, which made Huang Ping feel the AI-written instances had reached a level comparable to those written by humans.
From the moment he entered the game, Huang Ping found the logic of the NPCs to be clear, and the purpose of the game was very specific.
That was to identify the odd NPC out.
This NPC didn’t refer to a murderer or mastermind, but to someone who acted out of character.
To find the target, one needed to thoroughly understand each scenario, know every NPC’s backstory, then pinpoint the inconsistency and identify them.
The process was not simple. Players needed to think and deduce a lot, and the same story could have numerous different solutions, which was what made replaying the same scenarios enjoyable.
After playing several scenarios with his colleagues, Huang Ping asked, “How does it feel?”
“So hard,” Monkey said, rubbing his befuddled head, “I still prefer games where you can just hack your way through.”
“You can’t say that. Game design is not an easy job, and you won’t get far if you approach it with the attitude of just playing games,” Huang Ping said with a smile to Monkey, “Even if you don’t like a game, you should play it. It’s good for you. Isn’t that right, boss?”
“I only play games that interest me,” Fang Cheng said frankly.
Huang Ping was at a loss for words, then turned to Monkey and said, “That’s the way of a genius. Don’t follow that. Just keep playing earnestly; it will be helpful to you.”
“Oh,” said Monkey reluctantly.
Although Monkey didn’t particularly like the game, the female colleagues in the studio seemed to love it.
Xu Qingling, Lin Nan, Wang Xiaoying, and Tian Xuan gathered together, discussing the peculiarities of a scenario, each with her own reasoning.
“I think there’s something wrong with this doctor,” Xu Qingling said. “Instead of saving people, he’s deliberately delaying others’ rescue efforts, which doesn’t seem like a normal person’s behavior.”
“I don’t think that’s right,” Wang Xiaoying said. “Based on what happens later, the doctor has a grudge against this victim, who is a professional medical troublemaker, and the doctor’s arm was crippled because of the victim. So it makes sense that he wouldn’t help.”
“Hmm…” Lin Nan murmured softly, “Then, do you think the nurse might be problematic? Wandering around in the middle of the night doesn’t seem like a good sign.”
Tian Xuan held up her tablet, which she used to communicate, and a message was displayed on the screen: [I think there’s something wrong with the dead person. His death is too natural.]
Watching the four women’s heated discussion, Huang Ping felt that this game had the potential to catch on.
Although he didn’t particularly enjoy murder mystery games, his wife did.
The murder mystery games currently on the market tended to be expensive. The better ones would cost hundreds, and sometimes they were so constrained that if you happened to get a minor role, you’d end up with no gameplay experience, just watching others before going home to sing “Sunny Big Boy.”
However, not only was Fang Cheng’s murder mystery game free, but it also seemed to allow for free exploration, very free indeed.
And considering how much the girls liked it, this game had the potential to go viral on social platforms.
With this in mind, Huang Ping’s admiration for Fang Cheng grew even more.
As expected of the boss, effortlessly considering what we had not.
And Fang Cheng felt Huang Ping’s gaze, sensing his thoughts through it.
Typical of Huang Ping, easily imagining what I hadn’t conceived.
