To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 444: Chapter 264: Farewell (Three More)_2

The first requirement for the employees at Fang Cheng Studio is that you must have a special talent, right?

Watching Monkey store the long stick, Wang asked, “How did you know the big Teddy Bear would give it?”

“The opponent will satisfy most of the players’ conditions. Using this, we can get the other side to provide weapons. All right, cover me; I’m going in first.”

Charging forward, Monkey swung his stick directly at the big Teddy Bear’s face, and the opponent, without any courtesy, assumed a combat stance.

But the next second, the big Teddy Bear suddenly opened its arms, took Monkey’s blow head-on, and then rushed forward to hug Monkey in its arms, gently saying, “Don’t cause trouble, okay? If you really can’t hold back and want to fight, just come to me; I absolutely won’t resist.”

“…Mom?”

“That’s fine if you want to call me that. Now, be good and go play with Wang, don’t cause trouble.”

After letting go, the big Teddy Bear put Monkey down and then pushed him over to stand next to Wang.

Stroking his chin, Monkey looked at the big Teddy Bear, who had returned to its original position, and thoughtfully said, “Wang, why do you want to leave? Isn’t it nice here?”

“You’re betraying us so quickly!”

“I’ve just started playing this game too. I feel like the big Teddy Bear is pretty nice; it’s comfortable here. Plus, look at it, its strength is too great; I can’t beat it.”

“Don’t solve everything with force! Use your brain!”

“Why use your brain when you can use your hands.”

“No hope for you…”

“Forget it, don’t move; I’ll think of a way to have another three hundred rounds with the opponent!”

Switching to a new weapon, Monkey charged up again, eager to continue the battle with the big Teddy Bear. Although he kept losing, he was very happy.

From evening to early morning, after hugging Monkey once more, the big Teddy Bear didn’t push him back but turned around and placed Monkey behind itself.

Pointing at the door, the big Teddy Bear said, “That’s enough, you can go out now. I’m going to miss you.”

“Eh, why?” Monkey asked in confusion, “I haven’t had enough fighting.”

“No, it is enough. I can win because my raw strength is far greater than yours, and you’ve shown me your persistence and determination. You have the confidence to leave this place and seek higher spaces. So although I’m reluctant, I think you can leave.”

“What about Wang?”

The big Teddy Bear shook its head: “He’s not ready yet; he needs to stay a bit longer.”

At the door, Monkey glanced at Wang, then at the exit, and then with a shrug, walked towards the outside.

“No loyalty!” Wang shouted in despair.

However, about ten minutes later, Monkey actually appeared in Wang’s live-streaming room at Wang Say Games, and said to Wang, “Actually, it’s okay not to go out.”

“Monkey, why did you come back?”

“I’ve completed the game, so I just came over.”

“Is the end behind the door? No wonder I wasn’t allowed to pass, but what is the ending? Tell me about it.”

Monkey thought for a moment, then said, “No, I feel it’s better not to tell. Some experiences should be discovered on your own; no description can ever match the real thing.”

“So how do I get past? Do I have to fight the big Teddy Bear for a few hours, like you did?”

“That won’t work, I feel even if you did that, you wouldn’t be able to get out. It’s okay if you can’t get out; there’s really nothing special outside, and it’s nice to just play here. If you really want to go out, then just show what you can do.”@@novelbin@@

Wang stared at Monkey: “When did you start speaking in riddles?”

“Can’t help it, it’s really hard to convey this feeling.”

Monkey smiled wryly and continued typing: “All right, I’m going back to reading. I’ve told you everything I know. Keep it up at your own pace.”

After that, Monkey left, leaving behind Wang, who sat in meditation and contemplation.

Unfortunately, he thought about it until he logged off and never understood why.

The next day, Wang, who was on schedule to live-stream, chose a new friend, Dumb Dragon.

The individual was Wang’s junior, a bit rigid and had a somewhat dazed expression during live streams.

He didn’t talk smack, but his perseverance was top-tier among all the streamers. Although his talent for gaming was subpar, he could play games for over a dozen hours straight without moving. Just this perseverance alone was enough for him to make a living as a streamer.

The other party just happened to draw an experience coupon, and upon knowing that the end of the game was to leave this place, Dumb Dragon didn’t hesitate to walk towards the door. Then, he asked the giant Teddy Bear at the door, “Can I leave?”

“Oh, you can’t,” the giant Teddy Bear said gently.

“Then how can I get out?”

“Instead of rushing to spend money, why not enjoy the life here first? For example, do you want to fly?”

Suddenly, the space inside the room became infinitely vast. The cramped space seemed to transform into a boundless sky, and Wang, along with Dumb Dragon, soared through this space, fully enjoying the bliss of the sky.

After flying for a full hour, they returned to the room. Looking at the satisfied Dumb Dragon, the giant Teddy Bear asked, “Now, do you still want to leave? If you go, there will be no one to fly with you.”

“I still do,” Dumb Dragon said earnestly.

“Hmm… do you like the ocean? We can play at the bottom of the sea.”

The next second, they appeared on the seabed of a shallow sea.

Bizarre marine life appeared around them, and the splendor of the seabed was fully revealed to their eyes. Looking up, they could see the sky shimmering above their heads, a dreamlike scene that was even hard to find in reality.

When they returned to the previous room, Dumb Dragon exhaled contentedly, yet he still stated, “I still want to leave.”

“Then, let’s go take a bath in the lava.”

The glowing red lava engulfed them, the red magma ebbing and flowing around them, a scene beyond imagination that amazed Wang and continuously astonished Dumb Dragon.

However, when they returned to the room, Dumb Dragon remained resolute, saying, “I still want to leave.”

A wry smile appeared on the face of the giant Teddy Bear, “Alright, it looks like I’ve lost. You can leave now. I will miss you.”

Watching Dumb Dragon leave, Wang Say Games felt that he understood something.

Monkey was able to leave because of his obsession with combat.

This obsession allowed him to ignore the material pleasures around him and constantly pursue battle. It was the foundation of his confidence to leave this place.

Dumb Dragon could leave because it was in his nature.

He had a special tenacity towards achieving a certain goal, so he too could ignore the pleasures around him and then leave.

Therefore, what Monkey called “showing oneself” was actually about revealing what one cares about, proving that one could give up pleasures for the sake of their goals.

Closing his eyes, Wang began to contemplate what he cared about.

Once he figured it out, he walked towards the giant Teddy Bear and stated firmly, “I want to leave this place.”

“Why?”

“I want to see what’s outside.”

“There’s nothing out there, just darkness. The outside world doesn’t exist. In this game, only this place is tangible. It’s highly likely that you’ll regret the emptiness outside and lament why you chose the outside over this place.”

“Maybe, but I still want to see what’s outside.”

“Even if you can never come back?”

Wang suddenly realized that it seemed Monkey and Dumb Dragon had never come back after leaving.

Delete the game after passing, and no way to re-enter?

Wang’s first feeling was disbelief, but if it was a game by Fang Cheng Studio, it seemed possible.

The studio didn’t play by the rules, and they had broken the fourth wall before; perhaps Fang Cheng Studio was preparing to do the same.

Thinking that he might lose this fascinating place forever, Wang felt incredibly reluctant to leave.

But thinking about what lay beyond the door, he reaffirmed, “I want to see the outside world.”

“Okay, I will miss you,” said the Teddy Bear.

Giving Wang a firm hug, the giant Teddy Bear personally escorted him to the door, and said to Wang, “Go ahead, goodbye.”
