[Sandbox] + [The Fourth Calamity] + [Game Impacts Reality]

"Extraordinary power is invading the world, and all ordinary people will be wiped out by the tide of time!"

Genetic lock is an insurmountable barrier between ordinary people and extraordinary individuals; some have gone bankrupt because of it, and some have lost their families.

Until a game quietly arrived, this insurmountable gap began to crumble:

What?! The world's largest supernatural realm is actually a game?!

What? You can become stronger just by breathing, and level up by defeating monsters!

Lu Chuan: "What are you talking about? This is just an ordinary sandbox game."

II. Worldview Setting

2.1 Doomsday Triggers: Triple Screening

Genetic Virus Outbreak: In 2077, a genetically modified virus called "Crimson Dawn" escapes control, capable of rewriting the genes of almost all organisms, causing terrifying mutations in all life forms worldwide. This virus can infect all life on Earth, including humans, becoming the first screening factor in the collapse of civilization.

A red fog descends: After the virus outbreak, a mysterious red fog appeared in the sky. This fog is actually a "gene filter" from an alien civilization, capable of activating hidden potential in biological gene chains and accelerating biological evolution. However, it also leads to instability in biological genes, causing uncontrolled mutations.

Remnants of nuclear winter: In an effort to control the spread of genetic viruses, governments worldwide launched "Project Ice," using biotechnology-based "freezing bombs" to turn low-lying areas of the world into ice ages, triggering a global nuclear winter. Residual radiation caused some areas to become "dead zones," but it also gave rise to the rare resource "radioactive nuclei."

Mid-11th century, the Count of Greningen, nestled at the northern foot of the Alps. Friedrich had been transported there for over a decade. Originally, he only intended to be an heir to the countship, inheriting the title after his father's death and living a peaceful life. However, by chance, he became a servant to the young king and narrowly escaped death in a coup a few years later. Banished back to his territory, he was acutely aware that chaos was imminent, and even a king without power would be at the mercy of others. With his father's support, he cultivated forests, recruited artisans, established workshops, expanded his army, and quietly amassed strength. Now, the king had come of age and begun to rule personally, intending to revitalize the monarchy; princes had seized royal lands and refused to submit to the monarch; and the Church, after a century of reform, sought to break free from secular control. In this chaotic situation, Friedrich...

[Playing House]

System: "Ding, hello player, players in this world are divided into spectator group and combat group."

System: "You are a spectator player and have been awarded the title 'Flawed Porcelain Doll.' You can display your charm to make the monsters automatically move away from you..."

In an effort to regain his health, Mo Bai excitedly swung his metal baseball bat and smashed the monster's head.

Mo Bai: "System, what did you say?"

System: "I didn't say anything. Congratulations to the player for leveling up and obtaining the title 'The Broken Iron Doll'."

The Earl's Villa

System: "System friendly reminder: 'The broken iron doll' - you can demonstrate its aesthetic value, and the Earl will let you play with it..."

Mo Bai killed the perverted count with an ice hammer.

Mo Bai: "System, what did you say?"

System: "I didn't say anything."

After passing several levels, Mo Bai asked the system in confusion, "System, why is my dungeon more difficult than others'?"

System: "Because you never follow the walkthrough! Look at how high your title has gone! Fight on, 'Solid Diamond'! Are you still a spectator?"

Mo Bai: "Oh, I don't like your strategy guide. I refuse to view it!" Theme: A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.

Dear Father Moran Anderson: Congratulations! Although you never smoked, you have been fortunate enough to be diagnosed with lung cancer at an age when your soul is still fresh. Unfortunately, your business of raising "Children of Hell" is not yet complete, and this Duke has been forced to invoke the "delayed death" clause. After all, these slippery little creatures are far less cuddly than they appear. Please ensure that they are regularly fed with delicious souls, whether human, demonic, or angelic. Don't forget to abide by the "Heaven-Hell Truce" and the "Exorcist Association Management Act." You wouldn't want Michael, Gabriel, and the others to know about our transaction, would you? If you have any further questions, you can consult this Duke directly in Hell. I look forward to the day when I can personally harvest your soul. ———Lucifer, the Arrogant Duke, you are trustworthy...
