Lu Ze looked at the quest prompt, feeling a bit speechless.His System always seemed to mistake the Illusion Realm he created for a real world…Apparently, this 'alternate dimension' referred to the Immortal Demon Valley.As for the imbalance of power between the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path…It wasn’t that the heroes Lu Ze designed had too great a difference in strength; rather, the roles of the Righteous Path Cultivators were simply more appealing to the tastes of these Righteous Path Cultivators.More people playing naturally led to more suicides.As for the System’s quest…Lu Ze frowned and pondered for a moment.Strengthen the Demonic Path Cultivators?That was a simple and effective method.But if he truly did that, it would harm the players’ Foundation.The most taboo thing in MOBA games is power imbalance, especially arbitrary changes to heroes.And even if Lu Ze really did that, the players might not buy it.No matter how strong or fierce a Veigar was, fewer people would play him than Yasuo.“Change all the human-machines to Demonic Path characters, then raise their operational level…?”Lu Ze muttered to himself, then quickly shook his head, rejecting the idea.Not many people played human-machine mode.Moreover, even with maxed-out operations, they couldn’t kill so many players.Unless the skill strength broke through the existing template…Wait a minute!A flash of inspiration struck Lu Ze’s mind, and he suddenly thought of a special human-machine mode that was once popular in his previous life—The Doomsday Human-Machine.At the time, it was just a designer’s whim, creating a bunch of overpowered, abnormal heroes to troll players, but unexpectedly, the players actually went head-to-head with these abnormal human-machines.With that death efficiency, it was perfectly normal to die 100,000 times a week!Lu Ze immediately felt it had great potential.He could even add a skin as a gimmick to attract players to come in and get beaten up.With the unyielding nature of these Cultivators, they would surely come here every day to feed kills.No sooner said than done, Lu Ze immediately prepared to start designing.Before that, he first entered the server backend, ready to ask the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao to issue a server-wide announcement.The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao was sitting on a colorful mushroom, watching with great interest the scene of players battling in the Immortal Demon Valley.Lu Ze curled his lips.Alright, he didn't expect this guy to like playing Teemo.Truly worthy of being the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao…Lu Ze guessed that the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao probably really wanted to go in and play a round.However, this guy only liked playing in crushing victories; he felt it beneath him to stand on the same starting line as the Cultivators, so he wasn't willing to join.Wait a minute…Lu Ze raised an eyebrow, thinking of something interesting.The human-machines in Doomsday Human-Machine were not on the same level as the players…Didn’t this perfectly fit the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao’s requirements?With that thought, he happily waved to the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao:“You seem to like playing Teemo? What a coincidence, I have a task here for you to do…”……Leigong Peak, Qingyun Pavilion.Zhong Yi stared eagerly at the large wave of minions about to enter the tower, impatient.After his research, the lane assignments had basically stabilized.Zhong Yi also found his new position—top lane.Whether it was Nasus or Wind Swordsman, there was room for them to shine.He especially loved playing Nasus recently.Nasus’s first skill was called 【Siphoning Strike】.Each unit killed would permanently increase the skill’s damage, making him a true scaling hero.The most common thing Zhong Yi said to his teammates recently was, “Don’t rush, wait until I stack 1000 layers before I come out.”“One cannon minion, two cannon minions… Good! I’m going to use my ultimate to stack layers later!”Zhong Yi watched as the minion wave, which Shen Yan had stacked for three whole waves, was about to enter the tower, so eager that he was practically drooling.“Brother Zhong, your skin looks good, but your operations still need more practice.”Shen Yan and Zhong Yi were old acquaintances, constantly trading barbs.Shen Yan’s hero pool mostly consisted of top lane heavy fighters, so this wasn’t the first time the two had faced each other.This time, Zhong Yi started 0-3 again.But he wasn’t worried, because Zhong Yi had great faith in Nasus’s scaling ability.Once he stacked 500 layers, it would be the beginning of a qualitative change.“You just wait for me, once I stack a thousand layers…”Zhong Yi gritted his teeth, watched the minion wave enter the tower, and quickly activated his ultimate.“Then you’d better hurry up…”Shen Yan chuckled.The heroes he liked were mostly hammer users.In this game, Shen Yan was playing 【Mordekaiser】, a Demonic Cultivator who used a hammer.“Holy crap, you wouldn’t…”Zhong Yi suddenly had a bad premonition.“Haha, come on in!!!”Shen Yan pointed a finger of death at Zhong Yi, dragging him into his 【Death Realm】.This was an isolated space that cut off the ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) outside world, containing only the user and the target.In other words, the minions were gone too.Zhong Yi’s mentality collapsed, his mouth wide open, bloodshot eyes appearing.“You freaking…!”“Let me out!!!”“I’ll go to Tianxuan Sect to duel you after this! You just wait for me!!!”“Ahhh, my cannon minion!!!”……Zhong Yi finished the game in a daze.Every time he wanted to farm minions, that dog Shen Yan would run over and use his ultimate on him.For a moment, Zhong Yi couldn't tell whether he was the one playing Nasus or if it was Shen Yan…Winning the game with only 200 stacks, relying on his teammates, made Zhong Yi feel very empty.“Nasus is still too weak at level one… Should I think of a way to safely get experience?”Zhong Yi reflected on his game, realizing he always died trying to get experience at level one, and couldn’t help but start trying to find the possibility of some new strategy.Just then, a new System announcement popped up in his face.【New Event: Happy Human-Machine, Easy Stress Relief~】【We’ve recently received feedback indicating that the human-machine difficulty is too high. The following adjustments have been made: The efficiency of human-machines gaining Spirit Stones has been reverted, no longer changing with time, and now synchronizes with their own development.】【Cultivators, after your hard Cultivation, you can come to human-machine mode to relax and relieve stress~】【During the event, Cultivators who win human-machine mode will receive skin and title rewards!】After reading the event announcement once, Zhong Yi thought he had misread something and went back to read it several times.“No way…”“Junior Brother Lu had a change of heart?? The human-machine difficulty has been changed, and playing human-machine even gives skins????”Zhong Yi was stunned.Was this still the Old Devil Lu he knew?Previously, the difficulty of human-machines lay in their fixed economic gain.Players would desperately fight and kill a human-machine in lane, only to go home and find their equipment was half a tier behind the opponent’s…Now, with this mechanism removed, what was difficult about human-machines?There was absolutely no challenge!Looking at the event reward, the 【Devil King Teemo】 skin, Zhong Yi felt for the first time that Lu Ze seemed to have had a change of heart.He remembered before, for a Zhuge Liang skin, Lu Ze had taken two thousand Spirit Stones from him…The current Lu Ze, with his kind brows and benevolent eyes, was practically a model of the Righteous Path.Although Teemo wasn’t well-liked, there was no reason to refuse a free skin.Thinking of the game he was just tormented in by Shen Yan, Zhong Yi suddenly felt that “abusing some noobs” in human-machine mode seemed pretty good too.“This really is easy and stress-relieving now…”
