Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 605: Reasons to Survive

Life is always unpredictable. A seemingly happy and lasting life can actually be completely broken by just a little change.

In that [copy], the entire senior management of the "Player Mutual Aid Association" and Luobo's like-minded friends were almost wiped out.

At the time, they were all already at 'Tier 2' and 'Tier 3', and had originally thought it was just a normal 'Dungeon', albeit perhaps a bit difficult, and many of the players had mentally prepared themselves for the possibility of sacrifice...

But no one expected...

The cruelty of the "Death Game" was beyond their imagination.

In that game, only Luobo survived - and the biggest reason he survived was simply because of good luck.

In addition to luck, there was also Radish's own retreat.

He clearly remembered that they entered that [copy] in order to find a legendary [item] that was at the "artifact" level and could be used to mass-produce consumables and materials.

With this [item], the Players Mutual Aid Association will be able to become a large organization on par with Order, Night Watch, Plunderers, and Psychological Society, and they will then be able to better serve players and each other.

However, after all his teammates died and only Luobo was left, he retreated.

He chose to complete the minimum task of clearing the [copy] and returned to reality.

The reason was just like when he entered the "Death Game" - Mr. Radish wanted to survive.

However, at that time, Luobo was not quite clear about what the biggest reason for him to live was.

And after that return, Luobo found out.

His wife passed away suddenly.

I tried my best and almost betrayed the expectations of my comrades to return to reality. When I woke up the next day and went out to check on the greenhouse, I came back and found my wife collapsed in front of the house.

This time, after he was sent to the hospital, the doctor did not say that he was sent there in time.

From that day on, Luobo suddenly understood why he had such a strong obsession to live.

To be honest, he and his wife didn't really have any passionate love... Luobo couldn't even remember whether it was his third aunt or fourth aunt who introduced them to each other.

They just got married and had children in an ordinary way, and lived a life that could not even be called rich... At that moment, Uncle Luobo realized that perhaps a spouse is really the most important thing for someone to live.

Even though my spouse has passed away, my children are still here, the tomatoes in the greenhouse are still here, and my responsibilities and the "Players Mutual Aid Association" are still here.

Luobo did not have any thoughts of committing suicide, but... he really did not have the same strong and obsessive desire to live as before.

"It's not that the Players' Mutual Aid Association doesn't mean anything, but that my own life has become less important to me," said Mr. Radish, looking at the tomatoes with reluctance. "To be honest, there are still many beautiful things in life, and I have many things I care about... but feelings can't deceive you."

As he spoke, Lin Yu nodded slightly.

"I understand, sir... I'm sorry to bother you."

"I will tell Comrade Li Hua that there's no deep reason for your motives and that we're overthinking it... If you don't want to, I'll just tell him this and not elaborate."

As Lin Yu spoke, Luobo laughed again.

"It's okay to say it. It'll put Li Hua's mind at ease... Li Hua is a very good person. Like the senior executives of 'Order', he's a man of great vision. He's much more capable and helpful than me, a good guy with a good reputation..."

"He worries too much. I'll just tell him about this little thing of mine so he can have fewer doubts."

Luobo said this and Lin Yu nodded.

“You’re thoughtful.”

Luobo smiled and said, "I've already told you, I'm not that ambitious... So, these matters are limited to Li Hua. Just tell him not to talk about them anymore."

Lin Yu nodded again.

Radish walked towards the entrance of vegetables, and Lin Yu followed.

"However, young man, since it's a rare trip for you, I won't let you come in vain. I guess you should be 'Level 1' or 'Level 2', right?"

Luobo said this and Lin Yu nodded.

"Yes, I'm 'Second Level'."

Luobo nodded leisurely. "While alive, I'm restricted by the 'Death Game'. I can't talk about those high-level things casually, otherwise I'll be punished by the 'Game'. The next 'Instance' will be difficult, but..."

"Since I'm already dead, it doesn't matter. I'll tell you about the 'Third Stage' and the 'Fourth Stage'."

"The Level 3 Trial is divided into two parts, just like the Level 2 Trial. The first half is a normal Dungeon with some Level 2 quests added, but the second half is no longer a Personal Dungeon—after completing the Level 2 quest, you'll receive a notification."

"It might be a list, a drawing, a map, or a combination of all. It varies from person to person and from profession to profession. Based on my interactions with other Level 3s within the organization, everyone is different."

"You need to follow those 'hints' to create your own [exclusive item] and complete the 'upgrade'."

"So, this 'level-up' might even be completed in reality, and the time of completion isn't fixed; it might take several [Instances]!"

When Luobo said this, Lin Yu quickly wrote it down.

"I see……"

Mr. Radish then continued, "As for the 'Fourth Stage'... since I haven't succeeded either, and it's even more special than the 'Third Stage', my words may not be accurate. You can't trust them completely."

"Upgrading to the fourth level doesn't mean you gain a specific item, but rather a power called the 'heart realm'—you'll gradually begin to feel this power once you reach the third level."

“It’s like a path that’s opened up and extended by your [exclusive props], a path that belongs to you and combines all your past experiences.”

"Once you have gained enough understanding, you will know that you can obtain the 'Heart Realm' - as long as you are in the [Instance], you can make yourself possess the 'Heart Realm' at any time."

"As such, the fourth 'Level Up Trial' will not be fixed—it will appear the moment you obtain the 'Heart Realm'—still in the form of an 'Level Up Quest' attached to your current 'Instance'."

"However, because it appears suddenly, it often causes drastic changes to the entire [copy]."

"This is why many people, even though they are already capable of unlocking their Heart Realm, still choose not to fully unlock it—because the Heart Realm is easy to obtain, but this fourth Ascension Trial is definitely not easy to overcome."

Having said that, Uncle Carrot paused.

"Okay, that's all I have to say... I hope this helps you."

"Also... cherish the reason you're living. Don't put the cart before the horse and forget why you entered the 'Death Game' in the first place."

Lin Yu listened to Mr. Carrot's advice and said solemnly, "I will."

Uncle Radish just smiled, walked out of the vegetable greenhouse, and walked towards the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

Faintly, Lin Yu seemed to see an old lady walking out of the house and waving at Uncle Radish.

Then, a white light flashed and Lin Yu woke up again.

"What a good man..."

Lin Yu said with emotion.

But the sigh only lasted for a moment, and Lin Yu heard some strange sounds.

"call……"

He looked at Fu Luo - the guy who said he would keep an eye on him, but now he was sleeping soundly on the table!

Lin Yu's expression suddenly became serious.

"Something's wrong!"
