"A hard day's work has finally come to an end..."

Lu Ze exited the Illusion Realm and stretched.

Being a beast isn't an easy thing, especially when you have to find new ways to be a beast, and the tactics for every match are different.

Lu Ze checked his assets; they had reached 16 million.

The assets weren't particularly ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ high.

Except for the first few matches, where he encountered fully geared teams sniping him and had to carry so much he couldn't walk; in most of the subsequent matches, the people he camped were just pathetic Knife-Runners.

The matchmaking pool for new players on the first day wasn't very rich to begin with, and combined with the fact that he spent many matches camping the outer field, Lu Ze felt this was normal.

He didn't care about the asset issue.

As long as it was enough to enter the second stage, that was fine.

Right now, the only thing he cared about was the System's Demonic Path evaluation of his behavior.

After a night of effort, the progress bar for the Demonic Path evaluation had reached 30%.

"It's so slow..."

Lu Ze frowned.

When he first used "Flower-Come" for Possession, the progress bar increased by 5%. Lu Ze originally thought this task would just require 20 Flower-Come attempts.

The result wasn't what he expected; the further he went, the slower the progress bar rose.

"Could it be that everyone is used to it and doesn't feel anything anymore? Whatever, there are still 4 days left anyway..."

Lu Ze closed the System task panel and turned to open the forum.

Having done beastly things all night, he was actually quite curious about how the netizens were evaluating him now.

Lu Ze suddenly understood a little why some murderers in his past life would not only not run away after committing a crime, but instead return to the crime scene...

At this moment, the "operation xianyuan continent" section was incredibly lively.

Overwhelming posts were all related to Lu Ze.

After Lu Ze performed Flower-Come a few times that night, Zhong Yi analyzed the core of this style.

First, 【Zishu 18】 has a burst-fire mode and is extremely cost-effective.

Second, using one's body as a projectile to attack the legs—it doesn't matter if you have six sets or eight sets of gear, you get insta-killed regardless.

Third, using Red Wolf's smoke and ultimate ability to rotate positions results in a very high success rate for escaping.

Even the easter egg mechanism of Gilded Rose playing BGM was deduced.

For a time, it caused countless Cultivators to imitate him.

【Thanks, Old Devil Lu! I got fat, eating 2.6 million! 【Image】】

【Painfully drew a Gilded Rose; just arrived at the container workstation, and encountered two other Red Wolves...】

【I really can't go to The Dam now! It's full of Red Wolf spawn points!!】

【Just played a match; one Red Wolf on the stairs west of the containers, one at the corner of the containers below, one behind the large medical kit on the east side...】

【Played a whole match, the Administrative Palace was quiet without a sound, but push open any door and a Red Wolf spawns—who can withstand this???】

【Didn't the Righteous Path Alliance say it long ago? Dam Zero is fraught with crises!】

【Old Devil Lu, look at the current atmosphere of the cultivation world!!!】

【What happened to the promise that the emergence of a Saint would bring about a prosperous age? Now public morals are declining, and morality has collapsed!!】

【Well, you have to see what kind of Saint it is; what if it's a first saint...】

...

Lu Ze originally thought that netizens would overwhelmingly curse him.

As a result, he was surprised to find that those cursing him and those supporting him were actually split fifty-fifty?

Ever since his various underhanded styles emerged, the small circle of people who originally liked to play like "old sixes" had instantly expanded several times over.

How to describe the feeling of "Flower-Come"...

Once you've experienced it, it's hard not to get addicted.

Because the cost is low, even if you die ten times, you won't lose much.

But if you successfully camp someone once, it feels incredibly satisfying.

As for those victims who were drooling after they got up...

A significant portion eventually joined the Flower-Come army.

The main idea is that if I've been rained on, I'm going to tear up everyone else's umbrella.

The sudden popularity of "Flower-Come" led to a surge in sales of 【Gilded Rose】.

The "Flower-Come" that Lu Ze demonstrated under the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people had such an explosive effect that every Red Wolf joining the Possession army wanted to draw one.

After all, the flower-pinching motion was just too cool.

Just as Lu Ze was feeling smug, a System prompt suddenly appeared before his eyes:

【Host's methods are ruthless, shocking the worldview of Righteous Cultivators!】

【Many Righteous Cultivators are taking the Host as an example, imitating the Host's behavior, and are willing to become disciples of the Demonic Path!】

【Host's contribution to the Demonic Path's reputation is huge!】

【Progress bar +10%】

"???"

Lu Ze was shocked.

This works too?

In just one night, Flower-Come ran rampant.

"Flower-Come" players dubbed themselves the "first saint Sect," one after another paying respects to Lu Ze as their Old Ancestor, and everywhere they went, they identified as "Disciples of the first saint."

Lu Ze guessed, perhaps this was the reason?

He had worked hard all night as the first saint, and the progress bar was only at 30%.

These disciples of the first saint were generating power for love, and it actually jumped by 10% just like that?

He shook his head with a wry smile; it seemed he had to lead them to carry forward the first saint style.

...

...

Stage one, day twelve.

Compared to the day before, the popularity of the Heavenly Dao Live Stream was even more intense.

Visibly, the venue was a size larger than previous days.

One can imagine the influence of Lu Ze's Flower-Come on the players.

The barrage in the sky was dense and packed.

【Welcome, Old Ancestor of the first saint!】

【Don't know what new things Old Devil Lu can bring everyone today...】

【Yesterday really opened my eyes!】

【Don't mention it, I will never go to The Dam again in this lifetime.】

【There were already many Divine Beings at The Dam, but after Old Devil Lu stirred things up, there are even more and they are even more divine.】

【Today's map is Baksh; I'm afraid the old routine won't work, right?】

...

Lingxiao Sect viewing area.

The number of people in the entire Heavenly Dao Live Stream had increased, but the number of people in the Lingxiao Sect zone was actually half less than yesterday.

"Strange... why are there suddenly so many fewer people?"

Zhou Yue looked around curiously, feeling a bit confused.

"You don't think about it; the flashy operations Junior Brother Lu played yesterday... the way other Sects look at us isn't right anymore..."

Zhong Yi smiled helplessly.

"Uh, I guess that's true."

Zhou Yue had a deep understanding of Lu Ze's flashy operations.

Yesterday, he watched halfway through, then exited the live stream to rank up.

Good heavens, everyone he matched with was a Flower-Come disciple.

He played all night and ended up losing 5 million...

"Oh? The match has started! Junior Brother Lu is quite punctual today!"

Seeing the central screen suddenly light up, Zhong Yi, who had been waiting for a long time, eyes lit up.

"Let me see who Junior Brother Lu matched with, and if anyone is intentionally sniping him..."

Zhong Yi began to study the match list in the upper left corner, and suddenly widened his eyes.

"Exercise makes one improve..."

"Junior Brother Mu!?"
