Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead

“Damn... Someone already cleared it?!”

He stared in astonishment, his eyes filled with complete bewilderment!

The dungeon had just been activated, and he hadn’t even taken a couple of steps...

And now he was being told that someone had already cleared it?

He simply couldn’t believe it!

It was like a situation where...

You’ve just started the game, just entered the dungeon, and your crystal has already exploded!

And even in the frame, you see Han Xin teleporting next to the crystal!

Van Defa?!

The other 98 players in the dungeon were equally shocked by what had happened!

“What’s going on? How is it possible that someone has already cleared it?”

“This is fake! The dungeon just opened, how could someone have already cleared it?”

“This is a bug! It’s impossible to clear it this fast!”

“The Mirror Castle is one of the most difficult dungeons in the E-rank, ranking in the top three. To clear it and find all the clues, it takes at least two days. But here, only a few minutes have passed, and no one has even made it through the first corridor!”

“Did you just hear that signal? The completion rating is SSS! This Bai Lian, isn’t he a cheater?”

“Damn, I haven’t even had time to learn all the rules, and someone has already cleared it? And with the highest rating?”

“This Bai Lian... his name sounds familiar, I think I’ve seen him somewhere... Oh, right! He’s the one who cleared the ‘Fifth Estate’ dungeon with an SSS rating on the public streams! Is that true?”

Inside the Mirror Castle.

All the players were in complete confusion.

They stood in place, looking at the other players who appeared just as bewildered.

They had just entered the dungeon, but they were already being shown that someone had managed to clear it.

Some hadn’t even had time to understand what was happening.

In the real world.

On one of the streaming platforms.

Mi Gao — a popular streamer who often broadcasts games from the “Mysterious World” and provides commentary.

His unique commentary style and ability to make accurate, well-reasoned predictions have attracted a large following.

His fan base numbers in the millions, and the number of regular viewers on each stream exceeds one hundred thousand.

Previously, he only streamed games of top-tier players, but today he decided to focus on a newcomer named Bai Lian!

“Guys, today we’re not going to watch top-tier players, let’s take a look at the newcomer zone.”

Mi Gao started the stream and saw that thousands of viewers had joined his chat in an instant. He smiled and said:

“Alright, let’s take a look at this newcomer named Bai Lian.”

After these words, comments immediately began flooding the chat:

“Mi Gao always used to show top-tier players, why is he suddenly looking at a newcomer?”

“What’s there to see? We came here to learn, not to watch a newcomer find his death!”

“You’re wrong, sometimes newcomers play even better than some veteran players.”

“Ha, the chances of that are very slim. Even if a newcomer is good, he can’t compare to experienced players. Experience matters.”

“Mi Gao, let’s go back to talking about how Qian Shan Xue plays!”

Looking at the messages in the stream chat, Mi Gao smiled and said:

“Guys, have you heard that a player recently received an SSS rating for clearing a dungeon?”

【An SSS rating? Mi Gao, are you joking? How could someone get such a rating?】

【Even Qian Shan Xue and other players who’ve gotten S-ratings couldn’t do that. Not to mention SSS, no player has ever gotten an SS-rating.】

【Mi Gao, I think I know what you’re talking about. On the Mysterious World forum, there are two posts saying that a player named Bai Lian received two SSS ratings. But isn’t that fake?】 ṛ𝒶Ｎỗ₿Ěṥ

【Yeah, someone analyzed those videos, and it seems like they were made to attract attention.】

【Mi Gao, are you saying those videos are real?】

Mi Gao nodded, looking completely serious, and said:

“I can say with full confidence that those two videos are real. The player named Bai Lian really did receive two SSS ratings for clearing dungeons!”

“And I can tell you a rumor. This newcomer named Bai Lian, not only did he get the highest rating for clearing regular dungeons, but he also got the maximum S-rating in the beginner dungeon!”

Mi Gao was so confident because he was one of Bai Lian’s earliest viewers!

He didn’t start streaming Bai Lian right away because he wanted to observe a bit to avoid mistakes like what happened before.

A year ago, he found a very promising newcomer in the beginner zone, but when he tried to start streaming, it turned out that the player had already “crashed and burned”!

After that incident, he became much more careful in choosing who to stream.

“Guys, let’s now see how a real top-tier player gets an SSS rating for clearing a dungeon,” said Mi Gao. He found Bai Lian’s stream and immediately entered it.

After two days of observation, he figured out what time Bai Lian would be clearing dungeons.

He was different from other players.

After each clear, other players usually rested for a few days before the next dungeon, but Bai Lian...

However, after each dungeon clear, Bai Lian would find a new dungeon within half an hour.

This guy seemed to not need any analysis or understanding of the dungeon information, just charging forward without a second thought.

Mi Gao decided to start the stream right when he saw that Bai Lian had just cleared the “Fifth Estate” dungeon.

As expected, as soon as he opened the stream, he saw Bai Lian standing in an ancient corridor.

In this corridor, mirrors hung every few meters.

Seeing this dungeon, Mi Gao instantly perked up.

“Guys, this is the Mirror Castle, an E-rank dungeon, and its difficulty is in the top three among all E-rank dungeons! This is going to be interesting!”

Actually, he didn’t even need to say it.

As soon as Bai Lian’s face appeared on the screen, with his bright eyes, pearly white teeth, and refined, elegant appearance, the stream chat immediately filled with active comments.

【Wow, this newcomer is so handsome!】

【Ahhh! I’m in love! Now I believe he can get an SSS rating for clearing dungeons!】

【With looks like that, even in my prime, I’d step aside.】

【The one who wrote above, are you saying you’d step aside into a grave? (lol)】

【I used to think Jiang Hao was the pinnacle of beauty among players in this world, but now, seeing him, I understand what true handsomeness is!】

【From this moment on, I’m a fan of this player!】

Mi Gao’s stream had many female viewers, many of whom loved beautiful people.

As soon as they saw Bai Lian’s face, they were stunned by his appearance!

Some other viewers, seeing him being praised, began to comment disapprovingly.

【He’s just fair-skinned, can that really be considered handsome? Am I not more handsome than him?】

【Handsome is one thing, but this is the “Mysterious World,” what’s the point without good gameplay?】

【Yeah, yeah, watch him die here, it’ll be even worse.】
