The distant areas are too dangerous, and the nearby NPCs are even harder to provoke, so these newbies didn't dare to keep throwing their lives away and ended up playing among themselves.

"Waaaah, it's so nice to be a human! Those skeletons and zombies are so ugly! From the pictures, only the little demons are somewhat aesthetically pleasing."

"No worries, once you die, you'll resurrect as a skeleton anyway."

"That guy just resurrected at the Moral Square. I saw him post on the forum saying that dying unlocks the real gameplay, urging us to go deliver ourselves."

"Is that for real?!"

"You'll know once you try."

"I almost believed you!"

"Whoa, why are your models so ugly?"

"How dare you criticize me! You're not any better!"

"Exactly! Go take a look in the mirror yourself!"

"Open a plastic surgery hospital, it'll definitely boom!"

"Or wear a suit! I heard that the NPC merchants in the Great Graveyard are selling those magic masks that can change your face!"

"How do we level up? Are there newbie gears? At least give me a sword!"

The new version spurred new industries, and it is foreseeable that with the arrival of the new version, the economy of the Great Graveyard will usher in a new round of growth!

Of course.

Compared to the current economic scale of the Great Graveyard, this growth might already be negligible.

Luo Yan quietly watched them, waiting for them to exhaust their boundless energy before starting the next plot.

After all, if he doesn't do so, they certainly won't listen to him until they've had enough fun.

He had learned this the hard way long ago.

Not only him, but those acolytes who brought newbies into the game for him had also learned this and put these experiences in the "employee manual."

While the players were studying each other's bodies, Sherry, who hid beside Luo Yan, was curiously observing the various bewildering behaviors of these artificial beings.

Including, but not limited to, squatting on the ground digging dirt, exploring their groin, suddenly cheering inexplicably, and then suddenly dejected.

After observing for a long time, Sherry looked at the Demon King curiously and asked.

"What do they usually eat?"

Luo Yan didn't answer, instead looking at "Helen."

The Gray Wind possessed in Helen slightly smiled and continued in a gentle tone.

"They are like fungi; anything fungi can decompose, they can eat. However, some things digest faster, and some take longer to break down."

Simply put, most organic matter they can eat, just like the undead at the Great Graveyard, belonging to "scavengers," with even a broader diet than the undead.

After all, zombies and ghouls can't eat wood, but these artificial beings can even eat wood.

What kind of supreme beast is this!

It's simply too perfect!

"It would be great if they could grow faster."

Hearing the Lord Demon King's sigh, "Helen" nodded slightly and continued.

"These are just the initial prototypes; if you need improvements, I will further refine these artificial beings' bodies. Of course, shortening the cultivation time might weaken their physical abilities... The current result is a compromise between cultivation cycle and physical function."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yan immediately said.

"If that's the case, let's stick to this template for now. I hope you can shorten their cultivation cycle as much as possible while maintaining their attributes, but if it's not possible, don't force it."

He paused for a moment before continuing.

"Additionally, their lifespan doesn't need to be designed too long; ten to twenty years is sufficient since they can't live that long anyway. As long as they can function at their best during this ten to twenty-year lifecycle."

Sherry looked at the Lord Demon King in astonishment, her bright eyes shining, like emeralds in a forest.

As expected from the Lord Demon King!

Isn't this too hellish?!

Alakdo didn't have much reaction, after all, the civil engineering spiders of the Weaving Shadow Nest were nurtured according to this "design philosophy."

Those "eloquent" little spiders usually live only two to three years, often burning out in less than six months.

It even felt like these artificial beings' lifespans were too long.

Given the players' rate of self-sabotage, they wouldn't last that long before their souls returned to the Lord Demon King's embrace.

The Gray Wind possessed in Helen nodded slightly, remembering the Lord Demon King's instructions.

"As you command."

...

With the newbies finally exploring all the pitiful content around them, they eagerly turned their expectant eyes to the Demon King not far away.

As the Demon King, Luo Yan finally stopped just quietly standing there and fulfilled the duties of a Demon King, making a long-awaited personal appearance in the players' cutscene.

Besides emphasizing loyalty to the Demon King and to the Great Graveyard, he also prepared a unique "newbie task" for these newbies.

"Later, my minion 'Bond' will take you to Mist Town on the fourth level of the Maze. You will report at the adventurer guild in Mist Town, register as an adventurer there, and then recruit teammates in nearby or surface taverns to form a team with other adventurers."

"During the period of playing the adventurer profession, I allow you to attack each other in neutral areas but prohibit attacking neutral and friendly NPCs."

"The more detailed rules will be engraved into your souls, and when you open the 'player system' to the task interface, you can check if the rule is activated. Remember, don't take chances; your divine is ever watching over you! Or, have you prepared to pay for your actions..."

To help them integrate into human society, Luo Yan distributed unique newbie equipment for free—a human skin mask.

Of course, it wasn't made from real human skin, but once worn, it gives the appearance of a human face. As long as they don't strip naked, it won't be obvious.

And most crucially, these artificial beings, unlike corpse ghosts, aren't afraid of the Holy Light and can even be nourished by it, just like humans.

Having explained these matters, Luo Yan gently clapped his hands, signaling Bond, who carried a great sword, to step forward and assigned him the task of escorting the newbies.

"Go explore this world—"

"My minions!"
