Welcome to Rewind World Game-Chapter 877 - 874 · [Don’t Dreamwalk!]

After returning home, Su Ming’an took out the game disc for "The Cat and Her."

He had already informed Xin Yue to pay a little attention to a streamer with the ID "Please Call Me Demon King Miss" tonight, using some alliance resources to send some gifts. But she shouldn’t overdo it, just boost Su Luoluo’s popularity a bit since they can’t reveal that the Human Self-Salvation Alliance is supporting her.

Compared to the Holy Alliance Army of the Church, the Human Self-Salvation Alliance that resists deities is still not accepted by people. The news in the previous broadcast even stated that "resisting deities is an act of disrespect." Currently, the Human Self-Salvation Alliance is still being condemned by everyone. They can only survive in gray neutral zones.

Su Ming’an contacted Su Luoluo, and she indeed had no memory of Xin Yue’s appearance, thinking she only fainted from low blood sugar on the road and was sent home by him.

"Then rest a bit." Su Ming’an said.

"No, I’ve notified in the streaming group about tonight’s live stream, I can’t be a pigeon." Su Luoluo’s voice sounded a bit weak: "In the future, I want to become a big streamer... now’s not the time to rest."

Su Ming’an said nothing.

"Will you watch my stream tonight?" Su Luoluo asked.

"How about playing together?" Su Ming’an said.

"Oh, I originally wanted to play privately with you, streaming together... works too." Su Luoluo thought: "But are you really okay? Previously, in ’The Cat and Her’ game, you played quite poorly, what if the viewers criticize you..."

"I don’t play poorly." Su Ming’an said.

"Okay okay." Su Luoluo laughed: "Then let’s play together, I’ll just say you’re my friend."

Su Luoluo’s stream starts in half an hour, and Su Ming’an browsed the internet meanwhile.

Searching "Dream Patrol," a complex interface appeared before him.

Amidst the colorful live broadcast screens, there are Dream Patrol streamers with millions of popularity, such as the renowned Dragon City Yi Zhongyu and the Prince Bivis of the Lairo Empire. There are also small streamers with only single-digit popularity.

Su Ming’an clicked on Yi Zhongyu’s live stream, and instantly, snowflake-like comments flooded past the computer screen, making it hard to see the actual video.

[Nobody understands Dream Patrol better than Brother Yi! Brother Yi is the best in the world!]

[It’s still three hours until midnight. I wonder if the anonymous Dream Patrol member will start the second Chapter of Louyue Nation on time. I’m so anxious, I really want to see General Yi wreaking havoc in Louyue Nation!]

[Luckily the anonymous Dream Patrol member has never streamed, otherwise there might be a huge audience split. Would it still be the case where Yi and Bivis divide the world among themselves?]

[No matter what, I will always stay in Yi Zhongyu’s live room.]

[Yi Zhongyu has already been stripped of the ’best in the world’ title, haha, outdated!]

[Get lost! Stop spreading negative emotions, can the people who criticize the streamer just leave!?]

On screen, Yi Zhongyu is streaming "The Cat and Her" game. In the image, a young man with black hair and red eyes walks beneath a dark sky, holding a cat in his arms.

Regardless of the compliments, praises, criticisms, and insults in the comments, Yi Zhongyu seemed completely oblivious, his red eyes coldly staring ahead, not even glancing at the comments.

Su Ming’an watched for a while; Yi Zhongyu continued walking in the nighttime setting without any highlights or battles or story progression. But the comments were frantically spamming "Brother Yi is amazing," "Brother Yi is the best in the world," "Yi Zhongyu ahhh." The crazed atmosphere felt truly like an obsession.

Su Ming’an exited Yi Zhongyu’s live room and browsed the lesser-known live rooms with little popularity. Unlike those big streamers, whenever he entered a live room, the small streamers would notice his ID and cherish every new viewer.

"Welcome viewer ’Human Self-Salvation Alliance Hierarch’ to the live room." The small streamer read it aloud then realized something was off: "This viewer, why would you choose such an ID? The Human Self-Salvation Alliance daring to resist the deity will face heavenly punishment."

Only then did Su Ming’an realize his ID boldly was "Human Self-Salvation Alliance Hierarch." Su Wensheng made his ID far too blatant, yet nobody believed it was real.

He watched for a while to observe the survival environment of these small streamers. Unlike the wildly popular Yi Zhongyu, these small streamers struggle to see even a single new comment in minutes; their popularity is dismal. So the small streamer chatters with the handful of remaining viewers, like in a chat room. Even if comments criticize the streamer, the streamer can only pretend not to see.

——[Public figures cannot publicly vent negative emotions].

Otherwise, it’s considered an infringement of public order.

Su Ming’an silently closed the interface.

At nine o’clock in the evening, Su Ming’an put on the helmet and started the game "The Cat and Her."

Just like a holographic game, he lay on the bed as his five senses gradually disappeared in reality.

Lighthearted and cute music gradually appeared beside his ears, with the game interface for "The Cat and Her" appearing before eyes——several cats lay on the edge of a church, sleeping on a carpet of bright red roses, emitting comfortable snoring sounds. The game opens with a very warm atmosphere right from the start.

Su Ming’an was in a translucent state, floating like a soul in the game interface. Three large options appeared before him:

[Start Dream Patrol.]

[Live Broadcast Management.]

[End Dream Patrol.]

...

For now, Su Ming’an hadn’t started a live broadcast, the [Live Broadcast Management] was empty.

He clicked on [Start Dream Patrol], and a system prompt popped up:

...

[Prompt: As this game "The Cat and Her" has been completely cleared, the game you experience will no longer have a main storyline. The game has now become a sandbox exploration game.]

[You will play as a human or a cat and explore the city.]

[Please choose your character?]

[Human/Cat.]

...

The music of a continuous piano melody accompanied by soft kitty sounds filled the ears. The art style is very cute, with a rendering feeling between two-dimensional and three-dimensional.

At this moment, Su Ming’an received a team invitation.

...

[Friend (Please Call Me Demon King Miss) has sent you a team invitation.]

...

Su Ming’an chose to accept. Su Luoluo’s avatar appeared on the left side of his view. Her hair color changed to a splendid pink, her eyes turned from dull purple to bright purple, and her facial features changed dramatically, making it impossible to recognize her as the real-life Su Luoluo.

In the game "The Cat and Her," Dream Patrol members can customize their appearance. This way, the audience cannot trace Dream Patrol members’ real-world identities. Su Ming’an also customized a face for himself that no one could recognize as the real-life Su Wensheng.

In team mode, he could see the comment stream in her live room, with a popularity indicator showing 1380, indeed the level of a small-time streamer just starting.

Sparse comments slid by:

[Morning.]

[Evening.]

[Good evening Demon King Miss.]

...

"Good evening~ good evening~"

Su Luoluo greeted them warmly.

"The Cat and Her," before being completely cleared, was a chase-and-escape game—players needed to control a cat to help a little girl escape the city and reach the suburbs to complete the task. Along the way, many players would play as "humans" trying to stop the girl and others as "cats" assisting her. In other words, "humans" were the hunters and "cats" were the escapees.

There were players, as well as many NPCs involved.

Previously, Yi Zhongyu, playing as the "cat," defeated all "humans" and successfully led the little girl to the suburbs, clearing the game.

"Sounds interesting," Su Ming’an sighed.

Rescuing the world through games. Although inherently heavy, it was also full of hope.

"Yeah! It’s really interesting, right!" Su Luoluo’s voice came from the team interface: "But you used to be so bad at it, often caught by humans when playing as the cat. I had to save you, and then we’d both die, exploding with frustration."

"Su Wensheng was really bad at it." Su Ming’an nodded.

"Uh... you don’t have to criticize yourself like that. I’m just saying casually." Su Luoluo immediately cowered.

Su Ming’an checked. The cat initially possessed some escape skills, like jumping, taking no damage from high falls, and vaulting over fences. Humans also had some hunting skills at the start, such as long-distance running, tracking with the cat collar, and driving cars. The more he understood the rules, Su Ming’an found this game interesting and healing, much more engaging than the constant threat of blow killing by the State Preceptor in Louyue Nation.

Meanwhile, he also felt puzzled—deities granted such games to humans, letting humans clear the game to dispel the black mist in reality. What was the significance and correlation of this?

Could it be that deities simply enjoyed watching people fall, berate each other, and furiously accuse the game of being unbalanced?

Are the deities just prankish game planners?

However, in The World of Old Days, no one dared criticize deities as game planners; instead, everyone became loyal believers of the deities.

Su Luoluo’s voice came through: "After ’The Cat and Her’ is completely cleared, it turns into a pure sandbox game. People stream this game, continuing to play as humans and cats, sending one little girl after another who hasn’t left the castle to the church. There’s no main storyline anymore; it’s just pure play. Little Cloud, want to play a couple of rounds with me?"

"Sure, sure," Su Ming’an nodded. He needed to deeply understand the game’s mechanics.

...

[Hey? The streamer looks pretty attractive.]

...

A message floated by.

It was clear that Su Luoluo’s live broadcast room was extremely unpopular, and after talking with Su Ming’an for half a day, only one person asked a question.

[Who’s that male voice? Is he the Demon King’s boyfriend?]

[Can the guy show his face? I haven’t seen who he is yet.] Another message floated by.

[Huh? The streamer has a boyfriend now? Not watching anymore, no interest.]

[Just here to see the streamer’s face.]

Several messages lingered lonely in the chat box of the live broadcast room.

"Not a boyfriend, just a friend playing with me," Su Luoluo explained briefly and started the game with Su Ming’an.

Su Ming’an’s "First Dream Patrol Family" identity was only effective in the "Louyue Nation" game. In "The Cat and Her," he was just an ordinary account, not causing any sensation.

Upon entering the game, players could choose the breed of cat. Rows of cats appeared in view, resembling a hero selection interface. Su Luoluo chose a Ragdoll cat, whose specialty was having a charming effect. Su Ming’an chose an orange cat, whose specialty was a slow rate of physical strength consumption.

Once selections were complete, the interface faded.

In the next moment, the scene loaded, and their perspective suddenly dropped.

Su Ming’an looked up and saw the surrounding scene of urban steel and concrete, buildings towering into the clouds, even the roadside planters were taller than him. He stood in a small alley, the shade of the eaves covering his orange shape, while the pure white fur of the Ragdoll stood beside him, both gazing up at the giant-like cityscape.

A zebra crossing and traffic lights were nearby, and pedestrians walking past, even their leather boots, were taller than his height. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Su Ming’an raised his hand to see the pads of his paw and four short legs. Looking at the sarcastic comments in his live broadcast room, he felt a sense of regret.

If not for Su Luoluo saying that choosing a cat helped one better understand the game, he wouldn’t have picked a cat.

...

[Location of the little girl: Outer Ring City.]

[Your current location: Inner Ring City, 12km away from the little girl.]

...

The control mode was a bit difficult, after all switching from a human to a cat. Walking on four legs was somewhat awkward.

The task of the cat was to escort the little girl from the city center, all the way through the Inner Ring City, and Outer Ring City, until reaching the suburbs. Now, this little girl had been escorted by players for some distance, reaching the Outer Ring City. Su Ming’an and Su Luoluo just needed to catch up with the group, like escorting a convoy.

"There are two cats here!" Suddenly, a voice echoed from outside the alley:

"—They must be players who just joined the game, hurry and capture them!"

Human footsteps quickly approached, the shadow of shoes appearing at the alley entrance. Escorting the little girl as a cat could earn Dream Patrol Spirit Points, while humans capturing cats could also earn Dream Patrol Spirit Points.

"’Human’ faction players! Little Cloud, quickly escape!" Su Luoluo kicked her little legs: "Use the topography to shake off the humans!"

Su Ming’an followed her and leaped, the jumping ability of cats being extremely powerful, he jumped from the alley onto the low wall, and then onto the eaves. They stood on the eaves, looking down at the humans.

The warm wind of early spring swept through the alley, making their ears tremble slightly, their fur gilded with a layer of gold in the sunlight, warmly embracing.

Even the shouting humans below couldn’t catch up with them. Su Ming’an and Su Luoluo raced side by side through the city’s warm breeze, across the bustling streets, stepping on human hats, jumping over tall streetlights. Everything was as free as the wind.

... Such a healing game.

Just as agile and free as a cat.

"Little Cloud! Follow me!"

The white-furred Ragdoll cat led the way ahead, under the sunlight, her azure pupils like magnificent blue gemstones.

Gorgeous indeed.

...

The old day government, united meeting.

In bright lighting, people in suits sat around a long table.

On the stage, a square-faced middle-aged man said to the people:

"Before the Industrial Revolution, the mineral resources, water sources, wind power, and soil on this vast land were enough to meet the needs of one hundred and fifty billion humans."

"The rapid development of the artificial intelligence industry, AI gradually entering people’s lives. Compared to the last century, humans have made significant progress. Our long-standing concerns—only whether human technological development is fast enough, whether it can timely explore the universe, discover civilizations friendly or hostile to us."
