You said you would make games by yourself, but how did you become the richest man by doing nothing?

At the same time, the narration on the screen popped up again, the tone carrying a hint of deliberate calmness—

“This is your conscience speaking to you.”

“This is not a fake operating system.”

“I swear, you should not open the restricted folder for any reason.”

“It is your conscience telling you.”

The audience in the live broadcast room instantly burst into laughter—

【Hahahaha, this AI is really panicking!】

【Narration: Please, please don't click!】

【What exactly is hidden by the Peach Blossom Spring's planner?!】

However, Wang Lao Ju simply licked his lips, a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

“‘Restricted Folder’? Heh… the more you don't want me to click, the more I want to see what's hidden inside.”

He manipulated the mouse, slowly moving it to a folder icon on the desktop.

—Folder name:

【Private】

The barrage in the live broadcast room instantly exploded—

【Holy crap, there really is a private folder?!】

【What the hell is this game doing?!】

【This folder is empty, please do not shake.】

【The Secret of the Folder】

“…? ? ? ”

Wang Lao Ju blinked, and the audience in the live broadcast room was instantly dumbfounded.

【Wait, what does ‘please do not shake’ mean?!】

【How are the hints in this game getting weirder and weirder?!】

【Peach Blossom Spring's planner, what exactly are you implying?!】

However, Wang Lao Ju's reaction was very quick. He raised his eyebrows slightly, a sly smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

“‘Please do not shake’?”

He reached out and held the mouse, gently dragging the folder, shaking it left and right on the screen.

—Nothing happened.

“…Hmm? Not enough force?”

He narrowed his eyes, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, and then he suddenly grabbed the folder and began to shake it wildly left and right!

“Shua—Shua—Shua—!”

The folder shook wildly on the screen, like a water bottle being shaken violently, and even under the intense shaking, a slight twisted crack appeared on the edge!

Just then—

“Di—!”

The screen suddenly flashed, the folder icon suddenly exploded, like a torn crack, revealing the true content inside the folder—

A hidden file appeared prominently in the center of the screen.

The file name had only one simple word:

【TRUTH】

The audience in the live broadcast room instantly boiled—

【Holy crap, there really is a hidden file?!】

【What secrets is this game hiding?!】

【Lao Ju, hurry up and open it to see!】

Wang Lao Ju took a deep breath, gently licked his lips, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes.

“Heh… finally, found you.”

… …

The “Private” folder on the screen trembled slightly, seemingly not yet recovered from the violent shaking just now.

Wang Lao Ju raised his eyebrows slightly, a meaningful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

“Looks like you're still hiding a lot of things… then let me see, what exactly are you afraid of.”

He manipulated the mouse and opened the 【Images】folder inside the folder.

—Three pictures lay quietly in the folder, without any file descriptions, as if they were just ordinary materials randomly thrown here.

However, Wang Lao Ju would not naively think that these were just ordinary pictures.

He opened the first picture without hesitation.

【First Picture: Water + Sunlight = Grass】

An extremely crude picture appeared on the screen, with only three simple elements in the center of the screen:

—A drop of water, a ray of sunlight, and a bunch of green grass.

They were connected by an equals sign, like a kindergarten-level math problem:

“Water + Sunlight = Grass”

The audience in the live broadcast room instantly exploded—

【? ? ? What is this?!】

【You're just showing me this?】

【Peach Blossom Spring's planner, what exactly are you doing?!】

Wang Lao Ju frowned, carefully examining the picture, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

“This picture… isn't just a simple hint, is it?”

He reached out and rubbed his chin, then gently shook his head, temporarily keeping the meaning of this picture in his mind, and then, without hesitation, opened the second picture.

【Second Picture: Rosewood Table】

A rosewood table appeared on the screen, the tabletop smooth, the texture heavy, looking like a vintage-style desk.

However, apart from that, there were no extra elements in the entire picture, looking like an ordinary still life photo.

The audience in the live broadcast room instantly questioned—

【That's it?】

【This game isn't going to trick us again, is it?】

【Lao Ju, try to see if you can move this picture?】

Wang Lao Ju's eyes lit up slightly, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth: “That's right, since the game has allowed me to drag the folder, can this picture also be moved?”

He manipulated the mouse, gently dragging the edge of the picture, slowly rotating it—

“Click—”

As the picture rotated, the drawer of the rosewood table opened slightly, and then, a metal key slowly slid out of the drawer and fell onto the virtual ground.

—【Obtained Item: Key】

The live broadcast room instantly exploded—

【Holy crap! This picture is actually three-dimensional?!】

【What exactly is going on with this game?!】

【Planner: Please stop taking it apart!】

Wang Lao Ju gently licked his lips, a look of excitement in his eyes: “Oh ho, it can actually be like this?”

However, he didn't stop, but continued to open the third picture.

【Third Picture: Gibberish and ID Card】

A pile of dense gibberish appeared on the screen, all composed of “1” and “0”, like a completely corrupted data stream.

However, below these gibberish, three clear Chinese characters were prominently displayed—

“ID Card”

The audience in the live broadcast room instantly exploded—

【Holy crap, what is this?!】

【Isn't this some kind of hidden information?!】

【Lao Ju, can you decode it?!】

However, before Wang Lao Ju could react, the narrator's voice suddenly interjected, the tone carrying a hint of deliberate distraction—

“A yet-to-be-released episode of ‘Drug Master’ is playing on TV.”

“Your conscience is telling you, don't miss this show.”

Wang Lao Ju: “…”

Live broadcast room: “…”

【Hahahaha, the narrator is starting to play rogue again!】

【Peach Blossom Spring's planner, what exactly are you afraid of?!】

【This AI really doesn't want Lao Ju to see these files!】

However, Wang Lao Ju just chuckled lightly, ignored the narration without hesitation, and continued to open the 【Music】folder.

【The Power of Rock and Roll】

He randomly clicked on a rock and roll song, and the next second—

“Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—!”

The entire screen began to shake violently, as if the entire game world was shaking with the rhythm of the music, the picture distorted, as if it would completely collapse at any time!

“Zzz—!”

The screen instantly went black, and then, a new system prompt slowly appeared—

【Program has stopped, restarting the program, reason for error: excessive shaking.】

The audience in the live broadcast room instantly burst into laughter—

【Hahahaha, even the program can't handle it!】

【Game Programmer: Please, stop clicking around!】

【Peach Blossom Village Server: I really can't take it anymore!】

However, Wang Lao Ju's gaze slightly sharpened, and the smile on his lips deepened.

“It seems that this game's 'shaking mechanism'... can still come in handy.”

【Hidden Folder】

When the game restarted, Wang Lao Ju immediately reopened the 「Private」 folder.

Sure enough, due to the violent shaking just now, the folder's interface had changed—

A new area had appeared.

In the new area, there were two brand new folders:

【Super Private】

【Truth 01】

The newest novels are first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!!

The live stream instantly exploded—

【Holy crap, there really are hidden files?!】

【“Super Private”? What the hell is that?!】

【Open it and take a look!】

Wang Lao Ju narrowed his eyes and unhesitatingly clicked on the 【Truth 01】 folder.

A passage of text slowly appeared on the screen—

「The Truth of Roswell: Hello, due to technical issues, the content of this file has unfortunately been lost. We apologize.」

「FBI Addendum: Oh yeah, it's a weather balloon.」

The audience in the live stream: “……”

【？？？？？】

【FBI: What are you looking at?】

【Peach Blossom Village planners, what exactly are you hiding?!】

However, Wang Lao Ju only lightly licked his lips, his eyes flashing with excitement.

“It seems... I really dug up something I shouldn't have.”

The 【Truth 01】 folder on the screen flickered, like some kind of triggered hidden mechanism. Immediately after, a new folder suddenly popped up on the desktop.

—【Truth 02】

Wang Lao Ju lightly licked his lips, his eyes flashing with excitement.

“Oh? It seems there's more than one 'truth'.”

He unhesitatingly controlled the mouse and clicked on the 【Truth 02】 folder.

A familiar passage of text slowly appeared on the screen—

「The Truth of Kennedy's Death: Hello, due to technical issues, the content of this file has unfortunately been lost. We apologize.」

「FBI Addendum: The shooter was a weather balloon.」

The live stream instantly exploded—

【？？？？？】

【Weather Balloon: Why am I taking the blame again?!】

【FBI: Alright, today's investigation ends here.】

Wang Lao Ju was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.

“Heh, as expected, 'truth' is never simple…”

However, before he could continue to investigate, a new folder popped up on the desktop again—

—【Truth 03】

【Truth 03: The Secret of Apollo 11】

The audience in the live stream had completely gone crazy, and the barrage was scrolling wildly—

【Holy crap, the truth is still continuing?!】

【What kind of game is this?!】

【Quick! Open it and take a look!】

Wang Lao Ju's gaze slightly sharpened, and he controlled the mouse, slowly clicking open the 【Truth 03】 folder.

The text on the screen reappeared—

「The Truth of Apollo 11: Hello, weather balloon.」

Live Stream: “……”

【?】

【??】

【???】

Wang Lao Ju: “……”

He was silent for two seconds, then took a deep breath, slowly rubbed his temples, and the smile on his lips became even deeper.

“Oh? So, the truth of Apollo 11... is 'weather balloon'?”

The live stream instantly exploded—

【Hahahaha, what are the planners doing?!】

【FBI: Everything is the weather balloon's fault!】

【Peach Blossom Village planners, have you been warned by the FBI?!】

Wang Lao Ju narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the “truth” on the screen, countless possibilities flashing through his mind.

—What exactly is this game hiding?

—Is it some kind of absurd satire, or… is it really hiding some unknown secrets?

However, just as he was thinking, a brand new folder suddenly popped up on the desktop.

【Invincible Private: The Secret of the Circuit Board】

—【Invincible Private】

The name of the folder seemed to exude a sense of “something incredible,” and what was even more surprising was—

Next to it, a bright red 【18+】 symbol was prominently marked!

The audience in the live stream instantly exploded—

【Holy crap?! 18+?!】

【This game actually has something like this?!】

【Lao Ju, you can't stream this!】

However, Wang Lao Ju only raised his eyebrows slightly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a dangerous smile.

“18+? I want to see… what exactly you're hiding.”

He unhesitatingly clicked on the 【Invincible Private】 folder.

In the next second, a picture slowly appeared on the screen—

—A circuit board.

However, this was not an ordinary circuit board—

They were wearing various styles of BRAs, and even in the key chip areas, they were mosaicked!

The audience in the live stream completely went crazy—

【？？？？？】

【What is this technology gentleman's picture?!】

【Circuit board: I even wore clothes?!】

Wang Lao Ju was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, even a trace of laughter tears appearing in the corners of his eyes.

“It seems that our programmer... is also a sentimental person.”

【Mysterious Call】

However, just as Wang Lao Ju hadn't laughed enough, a sudden window popped up on the screen.

—【Incoming Call】

The audience in the live stream instantly exploded—

【Holy crap?! Incoming call?!】

【This game can make phone calls?!】

【Lao Ju, answer it! Answer it!】

Wang Lao Ju frowned slightly, his gaze slightly sharpened, and then unhesitatingly pressed the answer button.

In the next second, a low, hoarse old man's voice came from the speaker in the game.

“Hello, you don't know me.”

“My voice doesn't sound like other programs at all.”

“I just want to say… uh, these photos are too outrageous.”

The audience in the live stream instantly burst into laughter—

【Hahahaha, even the AI is shocked!】

【Narration: How could you find something like this?!】

【Planner: Did you misunderstand the positioning of our game?!】

However, the old man's voice continued, his tone with a hint of deliberate composure, even… a little flustered?

“Regarding the rating of this game, I will immediately contact the authorities, oh no, I mean—this 'non-game'.”

“You shouldn't continue playing this game.”

“By the way, the pictures aren't mine! They're a friend's.”

The barrage in the live stream instantly exploded—

【Holy crap, even the AI is starting to pass the buck?!】

【What do you mean 'they're a friend's' hahahaha!】

【Planner, are you really acting?!】

Wang Lao Ju narrowed his eyes, a playful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

“Heh… it seems that I've pushed you to the limit.”

He slowly reached out his hand, his fingertips landing on the mouse, his gaze slightly sharpened. (End of this chapter)
