Dream Entertainment's first somatosensory platform game, Brave World, didn't have much information on the official website. Apart from the database of equipment and items, there was only one sentence for the introduction: Ask the Brave World's main system for details.
The main system of Brave World was Izur. As an advanced artificial intelligence system, Izur could answer no matter how strange the players' questions were.
Of course, Izur wouldn't answer some of the key questions.
In many cases, it wouldn't even care.
For example, if the players repeatedly asked the same question, not only would Izur not answer, but it might even punish them.
Brave World didn't open for long. It opened for an hour and a half in the wee hours of the morning and opened for the second time at eight in the morning.
It was now April 23rd, just past eight in the evening. Brave World had been open for a little more than thirteen hours.
In Brave World, the players were slowly figuring out the rules of the world.
In the process of exploring, there were lucky players, unlucky players, and extremely unlucky people.
The unlucky players and unlucky people all complained on the official website.
Lijian Province had the most complaints.
Because the Hero's World used the Time Axis Synchronization technology, the Hero's World opened for the second time at eight in the morning in China, which was eight in the evening in Lijian.
Brave World was a technologically backward world, so there was basically no entertainment at night.
In the first half of the night, the players could still see a few people in the novice village.
After midnight, there wasn't even a shadow.
The players in Lijian Province who weren't familiar with the game environment could only helplessly consult the game's main system.
Some bad-tempered players were even punished by the main system and had their morality deducted.
The punished players all complained, hoping that Dream Entertainment would restrict the main system's rights.
Shi Lei chose to ignore these unreasonable requests. Instead, he checked the questions that received the most attention.
In the list of complaints, the most popular issue was the death penalty in Brave World.
This complaint was made by a player from the Volsan Kingdom. A super player named Kawashima Shinji was accidentally killed by a character not controlled by the player. The death penalty was to delete the character's data and create a new character.
When Kawashima Shinji returned to the Novice Village, he discovered a despairing fact. The non-player character did not remember the information of his previous character.
In other words, there was no memory of Kawashima Shinji as a player in the non-player character's memory.
In the Hero's World, after a player died, it was the same as a true death. Everything would start over from scratch.
Kawashima Shinji argued on the official website, hoping that Dream Entertainment would change the death penalty because it was too severe.
Lijian Province's super tycoon Storm agreed with Kawashima Shinji's suggestion on the death penalty.
Storm was afraid that if he accidentally died, what would happen to Senior Apprentice Sister Lu-er?
Mu Feng, a local super player in Shuangqing City, had also temporarily abandoned his hatred for Voisin players and fought against Dream Entertainment's death penalty in the World of the Brave.
This complaint about the death penalty received the attention of more than a million people. Regardless of whether they were first-order beta testers or not, they all protested against the death penalty in the Hero's World.
Shi Lei put a special attention mark on the death penalty complaint, indicating that it would be dealt with.
The second most watched complaint wasn't really a complaint, but rather an application and suggestion. It was a request from a local super player in Shuangqing City, Mu Feng. He hoped that the Hero's World of the Brave would have an intimacy system, similar to the virtual marriage system in normal MMOs.
Whether it was a player or a non-player character, Mu Feng hoped that Dream Entertainment would have an intimacy system. Once the intimacy level reached a certain level, they would be able to get married in the Hero's World of the Brave.
Mu Feng's suggestion received the support of a large number of players, especially those with first-order beta testers. There were more than 30,000 people who supported the idea.
After all, there were only a total of 52,104 first-order beta testers.
What did it mean to have more than 30,000 first-order beta testers supporting the idea?
It could only be said that after Izur's upgrade, the Human Emotion Imitation Module, the Deep Natural Logic Thinking Module, and the Autonomous Induction Learning Judgment Module combined to form a virtual personality was perfect. Players couldn't help but fall in love with the virtual non-player characters in the game.
The third most watched complaint was also an application. It was probably inspired by Mu Feng's suggestion and made a vulgar modification. It was an application to Dream Entertainment.
This application suggested that Dream Entertainment could extract the virtual personality of the non-player characters in the Hero's World of the Brave and assign the corresponding personality to a special inflatable doll. This would allow players and non-player characters to communicate with each other.
This vulgar suggestion received the approval of a large number of otaku players. They posted many times, hoping that Dream Entertainment would accept this application and realize the otaku's dream.
Shi Lei looked at the inflatable doll proposal and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know if he should be happy about the success of the non-player characters in the Hero's World of the Brave or depressed about the players' lack of moral integrity.
The complaints at the bottom were mostly minor problems.
For example, the currency in the Hero's World of the Brave was too hard to obtain, the weapons and equipment in the Hero's World of the Brave were too difficult to obtain, and others complained that the non-player characters were too sinister.
One of the South Dynasty players received 100 coins from Dream Entertainment as compensation, but he was actually cheated by a non-player character. The experience of this South Dynasty player made the other players more cautious. They couldn't completely trust the non-player characters in the Hero's World of the Brave.
Otherwise, they might be cheated and happily help others count the money. They might even complain that the price was too low!
Shi Lei patiently read through all the complaints and suggestions. In the end, he decided to give a limited response to the players to prevent them from being noisy and affecting the entry of other players into the Hero's World of the Brave.
At 9 PM sharp, the Hero's World of the Brave's official website updated with an announcement regarding the complaints.
…
"Regarding player complaints and suggestions, Dream Entertainment's solution announcement."
The punishment for player death is as follows:
1. Within 10 levels, including 10 levels, when a player character dies, the character will be automatically logged out. Non-player characters will have their memories erased.
Players can choose to create a new character and start a new round of the Hero's World of the Brave.
Warning: Players are not allowed to reveal information about the previous player character to non-player characters in any way. Violating this rule will result in severe punishment.
2. If a player's level is below 11, no matter how the player dies, the equipment and items on the player's body will be treated as ownerless, except for special circumstances. They can be picked up by players and non-player characters. After creating a new character, the equipment and items in the inventory can be obtained through inheritance. The system will charge a fee for inheritance based on the number and type of items.
3. If a player's level is higher than 10 and lower than 31, they will have a chance to reincarnate.
This chance to reincarnate is only applicable when the player's body is intact.
For example, if a player character is beheaded, cut in half, or even dismembered, the player character will not be able to reincarnate and will be dealt with according to the first and second rules.
For example, if a player character's heart is pierced by an arrow, or its throat is slit by a sword, or similar methods of death with an intact body, the player will have a chance to reincarnate and keep their equipment and items.
Friendly reminder: When faced with a desperate situation, players can choose to commit suicide to obtain a chance to reincarnate.
4. If a player's level is higher than 30 and lower than 61, the chance to reincarnate is increased to two times. If a player dies by suicide, the chance to reincarnate is increased by one additional time.
For the rules of reincarnation, refer to the third plan.
After the chance to reincarnate is used up, refer to the first and second plan.
5. If a player's level is higher than 60 and lower than 91, the chance to reincarnate is increased to three times. If a player dies by suicide, the chance to reincarnate is increased by two additional times.
For the rules of reincarnation, refer to the third plan.
After the chance to reincarnate is used up, refer to the first and second plan.
If a player dies with an incomplete body, reincarnate is increased by one additional time.
For a player to reincarnate with an incomplete body, it is equivalent to creating a new account and perfectly inheriting all the data of the old account. However, all related non-player characters will be erased and their equipment and items will not be retained.
6. If a player's level is higher than 90, the chance to reincarnate is increased to five times. If a player dies by suicide, the chance to reincarnate is increased by five additional times.
Additionally, a mysterious amulet will be obtained that can offset any death once.
If a player dies with an incomplete body, reincarnate is increased by one additional time.
Refer to the fifth rule.
The Intimacy System and Marriage System are as follows:
1. The Intimacy System and Marriage System are already included in the Hero's World. Players will have to figure out the specifics on their own.
2. Friendly reminder: do not molest female players or non-player controlled female characters in any way. Otherwise, you will be severely punished by the main system.
This includes verbal insults, but self-defense is allowed.
3. Removing the virtual personality of non-player controlled characters and creating dolls independently will be rejected by Dream Entertainment.
Thank you to all the players who supported Dream Entertainment and the Hero's World. For more detailed questions, please consult the Hero's World's Main System or contact Dream Entertainment's Complaints and Suggestions Center.
I wish all the players a happy gaming experience.

After dealing with the complaints in the Hero's World, Shi Lei no longer cared about the players' attitudes towards such a harsh death penalty.
Although the death penalty in the Hero's World was severe, they would understand why it was so severe after they understood the Hero's World.
The Hero's World was a complete ancient martial arts society!
In the Hero's World, the human world had a complete social system and a complete legal system. It was just like a real world.
In this virtual reality world, everyone was a unique existence, including non-player controlled characters. Once they died, they would be completely dead.
However, there were also strict legal sanctions. There was no such thing as free will.
For example, in the city, whether it was a non-player controlled character or a player, they would be punished by the law if they killed someone without a reason.
The official forces in the Hero's World would send experts to hunt them down and then punish them according to the laws of the Hero's World.
However, to ensure the enjoyment of the game, in non-city dangerous areas, as long as no one knew about it, killing was allowed.
There was no so-called red name setting. Just like in the real world, nothing would happen if there were no witnesses to report it.
High-level players killing low-level players could happen in the Hero's World, but it would not end well.
The Hero's World's Main System would set up a balance setting. If high-level players killed low-level players, the Main System would arrange for justice to suppress high-level players.
It was basically impossible to become a king in the Hero's World.
Unless …
The severe death penalty was also to remind players to cherish their lives and to think twice before acting in the game world.
Of course, the severe death penalty was also because Shi Lei wanted to use the death penalty to scam people!
