The time was deep into the night, but the discussion area of Mystery Realm was still bustling with activity as players from all over the world gathered here, keeping the place hot 24 hours a day.

A post titled "The Dark Swordsmaster is actually a weakling - On the Importance of Luck" saw a surge in attention and was quickly pinned to the top by moderators.

The content of the post is as follows:

"Most players don't know that there's actually an easter egg in the game: when a player's equipment is all at level zero, i.e., the so-called weakest set, they will gain a hidden attribute.

The attribute effect is that whenever a player takes damage, there is a 0.001% chance of entering an invincible state; when a player attacks, there is also a 0.001% chance of causing instant death.

Many alpha testers may remember this easter egg; the official documents later removed the text records, but the easter egg is still in the game.

No matter how strong the Dark Swordsmaster is, how could he possibly withstand the concentrated fire of tens of thousands of players?

So there is only one explanation: he is lucky and triggered both the invincible easter egg and the instant-death easter egg!"

"Stop boasting! A alpha tester? Who doesn't know that there were hardly any players during the alpha test of this game, and now they've all become the pioneers of the game. What are you anyway? Besides, I've never seen this easter egg triggered!"

"Haven't triggered it? Now new players are given a level two Ghost Energy Pistol. Can you honestly say you've worn the weakest set?"

That person did not reply to the message.

"So everyone, disperse. The Dark Swordsmaster was just lucky."

After typing this on the keyboard, I brought the cup of water to my mouth and took a sip.

Yes, the post was mine. The purpose was to give the players an explanation so they could forget about today's battle.

When faced with something beyond their understanding, people will instinctively believe explanations that fit their worldview - it's a matter of instinct.

"The Dark Swordsmaster was just lucky," is such an explanation.

I believe it won't be long before this topic is overshadowed by fresher, more explosive news. Apart from a few stubborn people, no one will continue to dwell on this matter.

This is precisely the outcome I want to see. If the situation were allowed to ferment, someone might actually expose my identity, which would be terrifying.

Compared to the gods of the game world, I'd rather be an ordinary person (with a sister).

After all,

The game is just a false illusion. It's fine to play with it, but it would be stupid to be obsessed - this is advice someone gave to me.

I will no longer be obsessed with such illusions.

As I was reminiscing about the past, there was a loud "bang" from the floor above.

Followed by the sound of footsteps on the floor, "thump, thump, thump."

Then another "bang."

Xiao Sheng…?

Although the sound insulation between the upper and lower floors of my house is indeed not good, I don't remember my sister being so heavy that walking would make such a loud noise.

On the contrary, Xiao Sheng usually walks very quietly.

She likes to walk barefoot at home, and if it's cold, she wears long stockings. Stepping on the floor, she's like a slender, delicate cat with no sound at all.

There's also the reason that she doesn't want me to know she's leaving her room, I guess.

(By the way, I once caught a glimpse of Xiao Sheng wearing white stockings returning to her room. Due to her lack of exercise, her legs are thin, her thighs slightly plump, her calves without any excess lines, and her ankles delicate. She walks like a white cat. It's a bit embarrassing to say this, but her legs are the kind that make you want to hold them in your hands and caress them carefully.)

Is she in a bad mood? I decide to go upstairs and check on her.

By the time I get upstairs, I see that Xiao Sheng's bedroom door is closed, and the bathroom across the hall has its light on, with the faint sound of water running.

This doesn't match the "Sister Activity Schedule" I've secretly compiled.

Usually, I would be careful to avoid my sister according to the schedule, because she would get angry if she saw me.

I don't know when this situation started, but after I realized it, I hadn't deliberately run into her again.

Xiao Sheng probably still thinks she's outsmarted her annoying brother.Little Sheng was so adorably silly.

However, as long as my sister is happy, I, her brother, will just hug my pillow at night and cry alone.

I carefully approached the bathroom door, intending to inquire about my sister's mental state.

The sound of water kept splashing inside, but I was patient and didn't want to miss any chance to understand my sister's situation.

After a while, the splashing water stopped, replaced by the sound of a lot of water being splashed on the floor.

It should be because Little Sheng had finished her shower and lied down in the bathtub.

Little Sheng has always liked to fill the bathtub with water. She said that when she sits in it, the depth of the hot water is at its limit, so no matter how much she moves, her body is still submerged in the warm water.

I knew that my sister's inner self, just like her appearance, was delicate, the kind that would be injured with even a little force, like a cat who always tries to protect herself as much as possible.

After another while, I heard the sound of a bottle falling to the ground, which indicated that my sister's mood was indeed really bad.

Then came my sister's quiet but resentful complaint:

"What the heck! Just do whatever you want then!"
