: Chapter 2 Game Walkthrough

........................

After a busy signal.

A cheeky voice came from the other end of the phone, and Lin Zhiying knew without guessing what kind of expression the other person had on their face.

"Linzi, guess where I am right now?"

Li Zhi was one of his few good friends. They had been friends since childhood and attended the same schools from elementary to high school.

The two were so close that they could go to a foot massage parlor together and choose the same masseuse.

He majored in civil engineering in college, and after graduation, he spent three months at a construction site that hadn't started work yet.

When construction was supposed to begin in the fourth month, the boss went in.

In his own words, this was the biggest opportunity of his life; he received three months' salary for free without ever working a single day.

He always boasted about his past experiences working on construction sites when he went to foot massage parlors, which completely charmed the female technicians.

His biggest hobbies are going to foot massage parlors and playing games. The former is more sports-oriented, while the latter is more business-oriented. Later, these hobbies even developed into his current job.

He became a moderately well-known game streamer.

They're the type of people who see a lot of people on short videos, but they don't intentionally click to follow them.

I have about 30,000 to 40,000 followers across various platforms and other sources.

Lin Zhiying knew where he was from his tone. "Old Li, you've come to Hongxia City, haven't you?"

"Hehe, you guessed right."

The person on the other end of the phone chuckled.

"No one knows a son better than his father."

……

After exchanging a few words, Li Zhicai got to the point: "It's been a long time since we last met. How about we grab dinner together tonight?"

Lin Zhiying checked the time; it was a little past 2 PM. The recovery period in *Dragon Raja: New World* wouldn't end until after 7 PM, so he spoke:

"no problem."

"Okay, I'll pick you up downstairs at your place. It'll take 20 minutes. That's all for now. I'll go when the light turns green, bye."

He hung up the phone immediately after he finished speaking.

Lin Zhiying was too lazy to cook instant noodles because he had to go out for dinner. So he simply grabbed a few loaves of bread, tore open the packaging, stuffed them into his mouth, and sat down in front of the computer.

With a light click of the mouse, I skillfully entered the forum for "Dragon Raja: New World".

The forum was much more lively than last time.

All sorts of posts are popping up everywhere.

"A Compendium of Creatures in Zone E of the Underworld (Created by the Author, Additions Welcome)"

"Forbidden Zone D! Knowing this guide will save you at least three deaths!!!"

First Clear of the "South Street Courtyard" Dungeon: Rewards Summary!

…………

A successful game requires not only high-quality gameplay, but also a good community. The community of "Dragon Raja: New World" is now developing in this direction.

It's been a while since I posted a guide; some of the monster guides I had planned for before have already been posted by others.

In this life, thanks to Lin Zhiying's stimulation, the player's progress is much faster.

In the previous game, players were still playing in the mud in Zone E on the third day after the server opened. In this game, some daring players have already ventured into Zone D to explore.

What kind of strategy guide should I write?

First, it must be widely adaptable, something most players don't have; second, it must be highly valuable, something no one else has written about.

Combining these two factors significantly narrows down the range of options available.

"I've got it!" A flash of inspiration struck Lin Zhiying, and she gently typed the name of the guide on the keyboard:

"In-game: A Review of Major Quests and Recommendations"

"After several days of travel, I believe everyone has already come across the main storyline to some extent..."

Because I already had a draft in mind, I was able to write a post of just over a thousand words in one go, and it only took me fifteen minutes to finish.

"I've arrived, come downstairs."

The phone screen lit up, just in time to show a message from Li Zhi.

Lin Zhiying went to the restroom, quickly combed her hair a few times in front of the mirror, slung her crossbody bag over her shoulder, and went downstairs.

........................

As he went downstairs, this guide was spreading rapidly across the internet.

Many people have been paying attention to Lin Zhiying, and countless people sitting in front of their screens clicked on this guide immediately.

"Before you begin, please be careful when choosing your faction questline, as it may significantly impact your gameplay experience. This guide does not make any faction recommendations."

………………

Inside the Tianyu Company building.

In the vice president's office, there was a black device about the size of a double bed.

Lan Mengtian, the second young master of Tianyu Group, lay in the liquid, her body surrounded by a light green nutrient solution.

"Beep beep beep..."

As the red alarm sounded, Lan Mengtian sat up from the nutrient tank, revealing his well-developed chest muscles and powerful physique.

He looked at the nutrient solution beneath him, somewhat regretful that it wasn't time to change it yet.

He then noticed a pop-up ad on the forum he had subscribed to: "In-Game: A Review and Choice Recommendations for Major Quests and Quests."

"Execution Department: Powerful with branches all over the world, its foundation is unfathomable... Potential: Three stars, Mission Difficulty: Two stars..."

Lan Mengtian was so engrossed in watching the strategy guide on the screen that she completely forgot to put on her shirt.

Players have now generally reached level 10, and many factions have been opened to players.

However, with so much content available, many players are experiencing decision anxiety.

Lan Mengtian is one of them, so even though he has reached level 12, he has not joined any faction.

The post by Lin Zhiying was exactly what he needed, relieving his immediate crisis.

He is now incredibly grateful that he didn't rush into a choice. He has always taken his father's words as his guiding principle: "Sometimes being second is quite good." Now he is reaping the benefits once again.

"It seems that joining 'Kassel College' is the best option right now."

Lan Mengtian got up from the game pod. The synthesized nutrients did not stick to his skin as he stood up, and did not affect his ability to put on his clothes.

"But it's said that no players have spotted any members of the 'Kassel College Admissions Office' from the original story at the Regent Hotel? Could it be related to 'Lu Mingfei'?"

Wearing a white suit, he typed "50,000" in the donation section.

………………

At the same time, countless players were inspired by this guide and forwarded it to more people.

In less than five minutes, the post once again topped the trending list.

Meanwhile, tips of various amounts kept pouring in: "ten yuan," "fifty yuan," and so on.

Their comments were full of kindness: "Thank you, sir," "Thank you so much, sir, open source (praying)"...

………………

Inside the Volkswagen, Li Zhi turned his head with some confusion to look at the time Lin Zhiying had posted in front of him.

The notification sound has been ringing continuously since just now. It paused slightly after five minutes, but soon started ringing intermittently again.

The atmosphere in the car was a little awkward. After crossing another intersection, Li Zhi parked the car on the side of the road.

"Cough cough..."

He coughed lightly a few times, then looked at Lin Zhiying sitting in the passenger seat and said earnestly:

"Have you been... having an online romance lately?"

Lin Zhiying looked puzzled. How did this suddenly come up?

"no."

Lin Zhiying shook his head. "You know me. I have high standards."

"call……"

Li Zhi let out a long sigh of relief: "That's good."

What do you mean by "that's good"?!

Are you happy being single?

Wait a minute, Li Zhi suddenly realized something, paused for a few seconds, and said, "Lin Zi, if you have any problems, you can tell me."

How did this all get to this point again? What is all this about?

Li Zhi sighed and pointed to the phone in front of him. "Alright, stop pretending. Just tell me how much you owe on online loans."

Li Zhi pulled out his phone from behind him and was about to transfer money.

"Wait, who told you I took out a loan from online lenders?"

Lin Zhiying asked regretfully.

"Sigh, they've already sent the debt collection text message, so stop pretending. We're brothers, we don't need to care about saving face. Do you think I don't know your capabilities?"

Li Zhi patted Lin Zhiying on the shoulder, "Alright, this is just me cleaning up my own mess. Don't let them call me in a few days."
