Chapter 644: Chapter 367: Your Name_1 Chapter 644 -367: Your Name_1 After dominating in entertainment mode, Liuzi felt all his day’s frustrations vanish. Drawing manga is an exhausting task, needing inspiration for the works, quality in the art, and occasionally some cruel and unseen challenges to create certain breakthroughs, which would allow his works to further stand out. Not everyone is a Fujimoto Tatsuki, who can succeed by just illustrating his everyday life. Nor are they Togashi Yoshihiro, considering four or five chapters a year as diligent work. Liuzi knew his talent was minimal, so he had to keep striving tirelessly to maintain a lifeline in this ruthless industry. After submitting his manuscript, he liked to get into “Immortal Road” and truly revel in it, transferring his own suffering to others and keeping the happiness to himself. Watching Liuzi contently finishing a game, the Goddess of Art, with her hands on her cheeks, turned to him and said, “You’re becoming more and more like Xiemen Waidao.” “How could you slander me out of nowhere?” Liuzi protested. “You deny it? The fact that you build your happiness on the misfortunes of others is exactly the same.” Liuzi wanted to argue, but he couldn’t find the words to refute her. Upon reflection, he realized what he was doing did seem somewhat similar to what Xiemen Waidao would do. Seeing Liuzi’s embarrassment, the Goddess of Art immediately patted his head and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not blaming you. I just think that you used to be too twisted, and this way is quite good. Just don’t continue doing it.” “…Understood.” “Also, there’s a new DLC for ‘Immortal Road’. Do you want to download it?” “Of course.” Waiting eagerly for the new DLC to load, Liuzi soon saw its name. “Not Immortal Road.” Seeing this name, Liuzi felt his brain short-circuit. What kind of abstract art is this? Have you been possessed by Fujimoto Tatsuki as well? Liuzi felt as if his brain was stuffed with a mass of useless information; the mysteries of the world constantly emerged in his mind, allowing him to catch a glimpse of the ultimate truths of life. He thought Fang Cheng Studio had gotten over their terrible naming habits, but at this moment, he was struck hard, facing a major test. When it comes to naming, it’s still you, isn’t it? Opening the DLC in confusion, Liuzi found that this was not a mistake. The style of the DLC was exactly the same as “Immortal Road,” with equally grand music and character models directly taken from “Immortal Road.” But anyone with the slightest knowledge of “Immortal Road” would understand that this DLC was definitely not “Immortal Road.” After the game finished loading, he found himself in a border guard post. The post was old; the open grounds were deserted, and the camp overgrown with weeds, home to a few abandoned tanks. Having researched tanks a bit for his manga, although it was just a superficial understanding, he could tell that the tanks here were not advanced and were likely from the World War II era. However, they didn’t seem to belong to any particular nation’s arsenal, which made Liuzi wonder if Fang Cheng Studio had made some kind of mistake. It was daytime, the weather was fine, and the sunshine was bright, but walking here, Liuzi felt a chill, as if something calmly watched him, studying his every move. He walked through the post, stepping over weeds. The silence was only occasionally broken by a bird’s chirp, fleeting like a whistle, which made the post feel even more tranquil. Unknowingly, Liuzi had crossed the post and reached the other side. Here, he saw what lay outside the post. Different from the brightness on this side, the exterior was filled with a thick fog like milk, the rolling fog reducing visibility to just a few meters, preventing Liuzi from seeing the outside world at all. Standing before the fog, Liuzi felt his mind muddled, just like the fog before him. What is this game… up to? He had thought this DLC was for “Immortal Road,” possibly just adding a few races and new mechanics, but he hadn’t expected it to be like this. And after checking the content of the DLC in the game, Liuzi discovered it was akin to a scripted murder game. “[Interesting, I thought it was an ordinary murder mystery game, but after playing, I was shocked. The NPCs are so realistic, making the game being free feel like a real waste.]” “[Art! The high level of freedom makes me feel each scenario has infinite possibilities to explore.]” “[My girlfriend loves to play, and she dragged me into it once. Then we had a big fight over who the Alien was. The good news is I won, the bad news is I’m single now. But in the end, I was right, and I still won!]” After reading review after review, Liuzi realized this DLC might not be for him. He didn’t have a girlfriend, so why play a murder mystery game? However, just as he was about to exit, he caught something out of the corner of his eye. Turning quickly, he saw it was a note stuck on the guard booth. The note too had aged, its front yellowed, and the writer, to ensure it wouldn’t fall off, had firmly glued and taped it to the glass, preserving it.
