Chapter 629 -360 Why Provoke Them (First Update)_1
Turn-based games are well-suited for this type of game that has a certain level of strategy and requires a lot of thinking.
Xiemen Waidao opened the menu and found that there weren’t many actions he could initially take.
With only one settlement, he could only choose to build a new agricultural center or construct a pioneering robot, both of which required time.
The race he chose was proficient in playing tricks and looked a bit like a Spirit Sucking Monster, with octopus-like tentacles flailing on everyone’s faces.
Their racial traits greatly increased their desire for water and improved their ability to perceive others’ thoughts in diplomacy; in dire situations, they could even forcibly control an opponent’s mind to agree to proposals they otherwise shouldn’t have, thereby gaining advantages.
Their special unit was the Mind Master, which could control any adjacent unit every round, including enemies, neutrals, or allies.
After understanding the basics of “Immortal Road,” Xiemen Waidao quickly became addicted.
He read every unit’s information here, trying to establish diplomacy with surrounding city-states or directly attacking; he allowed his race to continuously gain more resources, establish more settlements, and then spread his own color across the entire map.
The game’s mayors could also be directly cultivated. Thanks to the game’s excellent AI, while the mayors looked a bit silly, their capabilities were beyond doubt, capable of completing a massive amount of work in the city for the player.
The mayor freed players from previously tedious tasks so they could engage in more interesting work. A city with a mayor would continually provide various supports to the player, who only needed to continue with other gameplay aspects.
As their civilization developed, the player’s in-game projection, the Cultivator, grew stronger: from initially being able to kill a squad to later altering the terrain, the Cultivator’s power was fully showcased in this project, making Xiemen Waidao realize the Cultivator’s strength was unbelievably formidable.
While it seemed a bit unbalanced, Xiemen Waidao knew that when everyone could do it, it wasn’t a bug that broke the balance but a feature of the game.
When the character eventually ascended to immortality, Xiemen Waidao watched as it broke free from the planet’s constraints, continuously rising until breaking through the heavenly secrets and entering the boundless universe. He felt as if he had truly become one of the few powerful beings in the universe, exhaling with satisfaction.
Wandering through the vast universe, Xiemen Waidao realized he had been gaming for seven hours but didn’t feel tired; instead, he wanted to start another round.
Unlike most similar games that became boring in the later stages, “Immortal Road” effectively built an ascension system within. Early behaviors naturally transitioned into the later path of ascension, and the items needed for ascension later utilized earlier resources so that the game always had a goal and a sense of pursuit.
After completing the game once, Xiemen Waidao had not yet fully experienced the feeling of being immortal when he discovered new difficulties were unlocked.
In the new difficulty setting, new neutral monsters would make their debut, including but not limited to various out-of-control AIs, extraterrestrial Demon Gods, natives, and rebels, among others.
New technologies would be unlocked, new mayors would appear, and players’ characters would have more spells, allowing for even more diverse tactics.
Looking at the description of the new difficulty, Xiemen Waidao became even more excited.
He rolled up his sleeves, ready to dive in, when he suddenly heard Mukuai 1234 say, “Xiemen Waidao…”
“Are you reminding me to sleep? I’m in a gaming pod; I don’t need to sleep. Just let me play the game!”
“But you still need to drink, eat, and eliminate, right?”
“That makes sense.”
Xiemen Waidao nodded and then left the gaming pod.
Mukuai 1234, after sending Xiemen Waidao off, looked at the newly appeared settlement in front of her and wondered why Xiemen Waidao was so interested in this game.
She knew everyone felt differently about games; what seemed very interesting to one person could be extremely boring to another. If possible, though, she still hoped to find a game that both she and Xiemen Waidao would enjoy and then play together.
“So, what’s fun about this game?” Mukuai 1234 sighed.
“Everything is fun,” Xiemen Waidao replied.
Mukuai 1234 was startled by the sudden appearance of Xiemen Waidao, taking three steps back involuntarily.
Seeing Xiemen Waidao return in less than five minutes, Mukuai 1234 asked puzzled, “Did you finish eating?”
“Eat? What meal? I just drank some water and put on a diaper,” he replied.
“…Are you out of your mind?!”
“A person can survive more than four weeks just lying down without eating.”

“I don’t want to know this cold knowledge! Go eat!”
“Remind me to drink water in three days; I’m going for another round!”
Watching Xiemen Waidao eagerly continue gaming, Mukuai 1234 realized that keeping a gaming fanatic away from food was no issue, but taking games away from him was life-threatening.
Having no choice, she set a timer to forcibly log out Xiemen Waidao after ten hours so he would go eat.
