Seeing this incident, Lin Yuqi couldn't help but feel nervous. With a forced smile, she asked Chen Rui, "What's going on? How could that player act like that?"
Chen Rui's expression was cold as he replied lightly, "I don't know."
This statement truly shocked everyone present and those watching the live stream. What? You're the Security Director and you don't know? What is going on with this person?! Could this game be a conspiracy?!
"Just kidding!" Chen Rui immediately laughed and began to explain.
"This is actually a new system in our game. Once players register their characters, those characters truly exist in this world. This means that if you log off, the character still remains and will automatically act according to an AI mode."
With that, Chen Rui pulled up a list that contained only one piece of information.
"This is the game's Logout Record. Since the server opened, there has only been one record, which is the player who just logged out. That player should currently be on the character selection page; I’m not sure if they are re-entering the game or truly logging out."
After hearing Chen Rui's explanation, those who had just been scared half to death felt an urge to punch him. How did he become so mischievous? Is he really trying to scare people?
Lin Yuqi also let out a sigh of relief and shot Chen Rui a resentful glance. "Can this feature be set so that players can choose their character's actions after logging off?"
Chen Rui shook his head with a smile.
"That is possible, but there is a time limit. Players can only choose actions for their characters within fifty hours; beyond that time, it will revert to AI control."
"I see. So this game supports passive leveling?"
Chen Rui shook his head again with a hint of disdain as he looked at Lin Yuqi.
"Not quite. This game does not have a traditional level system; data values are calculated based on the player's familiarity and synchronization with their character. Essentially, this game requires players to manage their characters themselves. There are shortcuts, but they won't lead directly to the top. The players standing at the highest point in this game are definitely those who have put in effort to develop their characters."
"This is what many gamers aspire to, after all. No one wants their hard-earned accounts to be less effective than those bought with money. This must be one of the game's unique features," Lin Yuqi said with a smile. "Now, let's return our focus to the scene."
In the game world, since no one was aware of the earlier news, most players were still in shock. Only Beautiful Reporter became bolder after learning about it and quickly followed a group of Yamen Officers back to the Department of Justice.
Due to the earlier chaos, most players in Eternal Peace's Starting Location chose to log out of the game to assess the situation; after all, how could anyone play comfortably in a game where safety was not guaranteed?
Upon discovering the situation, Chen Rui immediately instructed Li Zheng to post an announcement on the Official Website and the character selection page in the game to prevent any significant negative impact.
Fortunately, the twelve Starting Locations in the game were quite far apart, so only those 'born' in Yong'an City were aware of this matter for the time being. Others would learn about it upon their second login or after logging out of the game.
In any case, the chaos was quelled, and players in the Yong'an Region gradually logged back in. They found that, as Chen Rui had mentioned, these characters would be automatically taken over by AI after players logged out. Therefore, their login locations were no longer the same as before; after all, AI wouldn't just stand around idly.
Once players realized this was not a game bug but rather a feature of the game system, their enthusiasm surged once again. Many players who had been captured and taken to the Department of Justice's dungeon began posting online for help.
Initially, no one intended to actually assist them in breaking out. However, someone took the initiative, and gradually others started using their basic funds to buy swords at the Weapon Shop. They gathered a team, and soon a large group of over a hundred people was formed, marching toward the Department of Justice.
The Imperial Guards stationed on the walls of Yong'an City were responsible for maintaining order within the city. Thus, all security tasks were handed over to the Yamen Officers of the Department of Justice, which gave the rescue team plenty of confidence:
"Are they just a few Yamen Officers? As long as the Imperial Guards don't intervene, we have a solid chance!"
The Beautiful Reporter had hidden across from the Department of Justice, watching as this group charged in with weapons drawn. Suddenly, sounds of clashing swords echoed from within the Department of Justice courtyard. The Beautiful Reporter was dedicated; wanting to better observe the situation, she followed them right up to the entrance of the Department of Justice.
Contrary to expectations, the rescue team did not swiftly break into the dungeon. Instead, they were held back at the courtyard by dozens of Yamen Officers inside, suffering significant losses.
The disparity in combat power was astonishing! When did Yamen Officers become this formidable?!
Fortunately, due to their larger numbers, they managed to prevent anyone from escaping to alert others outside; otherwise, if patrolling Yamen Officers returned in time, it would have been disastrous for them.
However, despite their numbers, they were still forcefully repelled by those few dozen Yamen Officers and even lost several members.
"Retreat! Retreat!" The sound of hooves approached, causing the rescue team to scatter like birds. The Beautiful Reporter lifted her skirt and prepared to leave but was stopped by a sword blocking her path.
"Stop!" As the camera shifted, a strikingly handsome patrol officer intercepted her. After glancing at her face, he turned to those following him and said, "This woman is likely connected to the rebels; take her away! Keep a close watch on her!"
The Beautiful Reporter was on the verge of tears. Despite not being directly touched by him, those four imposing men left her feeling powerless to resist; she had no choice but to obediently follow them.
Seeing this unfold, countless viewers watching the live stream slammed their tables in outrage. How could such a beautiful woman be sent to prison like this? It was unacceptable!
In an instant, countless Red Bounties appeared on the Official Website's Forum, urging online players to rescue the Beautiful Reporter at all costs.
This news immediately shocked the entire gaming world. Half of the players in the Yong'an Region were rushing towards Yongan City, with numerous troops gathering; the Department of Justice was about to face a storm of bloodshed.
There were approximately two hundred thousand players online in the Fourth World, divided into ten Common Starting Points and two Mixed Starting Points. Each Common Starting Point had only fifteen thousand players, meaning that Eternal Peace, as a mixed Starting Location, had a starting population of twenty-five thousand.
At this moment, nearly a thousand players were preparing to attack the Department of Justice's compound, which was undoubtedly akin to an uprising!
Once players entered the game, each would have a certain amount of Cash and a random item, though most were not weapons. Therefore, the few Weapon Shops in Yongan City were packed with people.
The Beautiful Reporter had been taken into a cell, but from the arrangement inside, it was clear that this was no ordinary prison cell; after all, where would you find such complete living supplies in a typical jail?
Through her perspective, viewers could see the Wooden Bed, blankets, Flooring, and table inside the cell. The anger of the viewers began to ease slightly.
Most astonishingly, there was even a stack of books and the Four Treasures of the Study on the wooden table in this cell!
Honestly, was this really a place where Your Majesty the Emperor detained some esteemed individual?
Since the Beautiful Reporter’s view was restricted within the cell, the live commentary returned to the host. Lin Yuqi greeted the audience with a smile.
"Hey! I wonder if everyone noticed! Why did so many people gather to attack the Department of Justice's compound? At first, no one wanted to go! And these people seem to share a common trait—did anyone catch that?"
Seeing that audience enthusiasm had waned and comments and bullet screens were not as lively as before, Lin Yuqi had to find a new topic.
"Lin Jie, it's just me here! I want one; everyone else can stop guessing! Why not hold a prize guessing game?" Chen Rui said with a faint smile, cooperating with Lin Yuqi.
"Alright! This question will be left for our audience to guess. If someone guesses correctly, they will receive one login permission for Fourth World. That wraps up today’s first live commentary; we’ll see you shortly!"
Once finished, the cameraman gave them an OK sign, and only then did they relax completely. Chen Rui asked with a wry smile, "What time do you all start working?"
Hao Jinguang walked over with a smile. "For you, let's say eight o'clock. Our live broadcasts are divided into three sessions daily: from nine to eleven in Kiribati local time for the morning session; one to four for the afternoon session; and six to eight for the evening session. You just need to arrive at the studio during those times."
"That's really tough. Although it's an eight-hour work shift, it actually takes up eleven hours of my time!" Chen Rui joked, only to be shot a glare by Lin Yuqi.
"Hmph! Can you still complain? Please, have you thought about us staff members? Once you're done with your livestream, you can go home, but we still have to sift through the audience's replies and suggestions. Constructive feedback might be worth considering, and we need to design the theme for each day's schedule. Otherwise, the viewers will get bored soon enough."
"Alright, alright, I get it!"
Chen Rui sighed, forcing a smile as he waved Lin Yuqi off. He then walked into the office and found Li Zheng.
"What are you planning to do about this matter?"
"I'll follow your orders."
Chen Rui frowned slightly and shook his head. "No, that's not acceptable. I can't give commands at any moment right now; you must take on this responsibility."
"If it were up to me, I would take a hardline approach."
Chen Rui glanced at Li Zheng with appreciation and continued to ask, "A hardline approach? Have you considered what those people might think? They are all wealthy elites from high society!"
"I've definitely thought about that issue, but for the sake of this game, I have to do it!"
