To Harm the Righteous Path, I Had No Choice But to Make Games

"Junior Brother Lu's expression... does he have a solution?"

Seeing Lu Ze's changing expressions, Zhong Yi was overjoyed.

"Well, I guess so."

Lu Ze nodded.

"I'm about 80% sure I can make her cry."

"What about the remaining 20%...?"

Considering the Phantom Alliance's despicable methods, Zhong Yi felt a little worried.

Lu Ze shrugged: "Leave it to fate."

Zhong Yi sighed: "So even Junior Brother Lu has moments of such helplessness..."

"No, what I mean is, if she doesn't cry, I'll ask the remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao to beat her until she cries in the illusion."

Lu Ze corrected him confidently.

"...It is fate."

Zhong Yi's lips twitched violently.

"That being said, that guy isn't so easy to get... Let's do our best."

Lu Ze stroked his chin, pondering what reason he could use to make the remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao his trump card.

"Where's Senior Brother Zhong? Does he have a direction yet?"

"Heh, when it comes to matters of the heart, that's my forte!"

Zhong Yi patted his chest, very confident.

"ah???"

Lu Ze squinted, looking completely distrustful of the other party.

He dared to imagine that there was a magic that could make a rooster lay eggs, but he dared not imagine that there was a magic that could turn Zhong Yi into a love-struck fool.

Having made up their minds, Lu Ze and Zhong Yi chatted for a while before heading to the platform above the lake and entering their respective illusion towers.

"The first thing to do is to adapt..."

Lu Ze closed his eyes and murmured to himself.

The story of To the Moon is set in a technologically advanced fictional world.

After a moment's thought, Lu Ze realized that many of the original settings would actually be more reasonable if adapted.

For example, that high-tech machine that can modify memories.

For example, the beta-blocker that can block memories and even modify personality.

In the world of cultivation, using magic to explain it doesn't feel out of place at all.

After deciding on the adaptation approach, Lu Ze repeatedly recalled the plot and scenes of "To the Moon" in his mind.

The original work was a pixel-art style mini-game, which won the Best Story Award that year due to its excellent script, which is enough to show how good the story is.

Given sufficient technical capabilities, Lu Ze did not intend to use a pixel art style for this story.

After updating and perfecting the script, Lu Ze began to create the illusion bit by bit...

...

...

Five days after the third proposition was announced.

On the platform above Xianyun Lake, there are very few of the still-operational Illusion Towers left.

Many monks chose to quit after just one day.

A story-driven fantasy world cannot be solved simply by being proficient in magic; the most important thing is to have a solid foundation in writing.

Clearly, this is a skill that not everyone possesses.

In particular, it is necessary to move even a Supreme Elder of the Ruthless Sect.

It wasn't until the third day that people started submitting their illusions.

Of course, they all ended up being coldly discarded by Guo Yunfeng.

He didn't shed a single tear, not even blink.

...

On the shore of Xianyun Lake, there is a temporary openwork pavilion erected by Nangong Yuan.

"Why hasn't my rebellious disciple finished yet?"

Nangong Yuan paced back and forth anxiously, glancing frequently at the Illusion Tower on the platform inscribed with 749.

"Elder Nangong, don't worry, Junior Brother Lu is definitely refining the illusion! With his strength, he certainly can't... uh, Master, why are you covering my mouth??"

Zhong Yi looked completely innocent, unaware of Nangong Yuan's murderous glare.

"You brat... it's one thing to curse yourself, but don't curse your Junior Brother Lu!"

Chao Wendao glared at him and rebuked him angrily.

"Well, I still can't figure out why Elder Guo dislikes my illusions so much..."

Zhong Yi's eyes looked even more innocent.

Just then, Illusion Tower No. 749 suddenly opened.

Lu Ze calmly picked up the Illusion Crystal and walked to the center of the platform.

At this moment, Guo Yunfeng was in the central Illusion Tower, assessing another contestant's illusion.

'It looks quite professional...'

Lu Ze muttered to himself.

This time, the Fantasy Alliance really put on a good show, even going so far as to have the judges publicly test the game during the evaluation process.

He placed the illusion crystal on the table in front of Guo Yunfeng, then turned and returned to the pavilion where Nangong Yuan and the other two were.

"How was it? After spending so much time, wasn't the illusion incredibly powerful?!"

Zhong Yi asked with a look of anticipation.

"How long can I stay this time? Three days? Or four days?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you... If things go smoothly, we might see the ending in two hours."

Lu Ze smiled and held up two fingers.

"To the Moon" is not a large film.

If you don't delve into the details of the scenes and just follow the storyline, it will probably take three to four hours.

Logically speaking, even if the scenes of a pixel game were made into a dreamlike world, it shouldn't take five days.

In fact, Lu Ze had already finished the work on the third day after he started.

The reason he stayed inside for so long was because he had tampered with the illusion.

Now that Lu Ze understood that the Illusion Alliance had come to explore the mysteries of his magic, he was determined not to let them have their way.

Kill the Spire and King of Auctions don't rely on any special magic; they're all about mechanics and settings.

This is information that can be obtained without deduction, so there is no need to conceal it.

The new illusion created by Lu Ze also did not use the Transformation Technique.

However, he had tampered with the illusion, so once the opponent deduced the secrets of the magic within, they would definitely get a wildly wrong answer.

To make everything as realistic as possible, Lu Ze set up layer upon layer of complex and useless spells.

Moreover, if even one step goes wrong, it will absolutely ruin the illusion.

"By the way, Junior Brother Lu. Elder Guo criticized my illusionary realm quite harshly... Could you help me figure out what the problem is?"

Zhong Yi, looking puzzled, handed over his illusion crystal.

His illusion was the only one that made Guo Yunfeng's eyes light up.

Strictly speaking, it was that my eyelids were twitching.

His illusion was placed last, which greatly puzzled him.

"Okay, let me take a look."

Lu Ze accepted the illusion crystal and his consciousness sank into it.

...

Fifteen minutes later.

Lu Ze exited the illusion in shock.

"Senior Brother Zhong... are you planning to make Elder Guo cry???"

"How could that be? It was so touching!"

Zhong Yi explained confidently.

"Touching my foot!!"

Lu Ze's eyelids twitched uncontrollably; there were just too many things to complain about in Zhong Yi's illusion.

"You call that junior sister who complains about how annoying her senior brother is, but 'gives' her salary to you, a bad woman?"

"What? This isn't bad? It's pure insult!"

"And then... you call that green tea b*tch who's always around you, intentionally or unintentionally smearing your junior sister... the female lead??"

"Huh? What's green tea?"

"I'm fucking..."

Lu Ze was completely in the dark.

He couldn't hold back after playing the first chapter of this illusion, and he didn't dare to watch the rest of the story.

"Senior Brother Zhong, let's go back to the strategy track... This industry is too complex, you can't handle it..."

Just as the two were chatting, the Illusion Tower in the center of the platform slowly opened.

Guo Yunfeng stood up expressionlessly, and it took her a long time to finally muster an expression.

"The illusion created by Number Three... is not bad. It evoked some memories for me."

She sighed deeply, but her words remained indifferent.

Guo Yunfeng stood up and placed the illusion number 3 first.

This action instantly sparked a heated discussion among the cultivators.

"My God! Elder Guo actually spoke?!"

"Is this the first time she's made a move besides with Zhong Yi?"

"He actually praised this illusion... it must be extraordinary!"

"Number three is definitely in the bag..."

"Don't rush, the next one is Old Devil Lu."

"Even Old Demon Lu is no good... This is already the highest level of evaluation for Elder Guo!"

"What a pity, Old Demon Lu won't be able to get the Void Soul Crystal~~"

...

Guo Yunfeng's facial muscles have returned to normal.

She picked up the illusion crystal from the table.

Three words were clearly engraved on it—

Go to the Moon Realm.

【Let me outline my recent content plans.】

【I spent seven chapters writing a super-condensed version of "To the Moon" in my previous book to maintain readership. Now that I don't have that concern, I'm going to be more open-ended this time and write the story in a bit more detail. That way, those who catch up later will enjoy reading it all at once and won't feel like they can't understand it if they haven't played the game before.】

【This time, I'll probably spend 15-20 chapters writing about this game, because the background has been drastically altered, and it definitely needs some writing.】

【If possible, I hope everyone will continue reading. Of course, I also welcome those who prefer to read it all at once after it's finished. I just hope everyone won't accuse the author of padding the story. I can prove that I won't pad the ending of "King of Auctions" by finishing it in six chapters.】
