My Ability Is Role-playing

After the online update announcement of "All Heavens OL," Zhao Guanlan’s voice ceased, and the strange state of time pause suddenly disappeared.

Even though the three captives Zhu Ding, Qing Dai, and Pei Ming were all on the Glory Continent, they formed two separate small groups. Yet, upon hearing Zhao Guanlan’s statement, their reactions were almost unanimous.

The players are allowed to vote to adjust the time flow rate ratio between the ’game world’ and ’real world,’ with a minimum of three times speed and a maximum of a thousand times!

This matter...

Unbelievable!

Unimaginable!

Inconceivable!

Other players in "All Heavens OL," perhaps due to their limited perspective, might not understand what synchronizing all worlds with Earth’s time flow means, but as Supreme Rulers, they were perfectly clear on it.

Zhao Guanlan...is he out of his mind to reveal his trump card right from the start, throwing out his most powerful move directly?

"Maybe the ultimate goal of [Conquering All Heavens] is something Zhao Guanlan takes seriously..."

Qing Dai was somewhat shaken: "Perhaps in his view, such means can’t even be considered a trump card, just an extremely ordinary ability?"

If everything is true, then the skills of that [Profound Immortal] might indeed be beyond expectation.

Thinking of this, Qing Dai shook his head: "Hearing is false, seeing might not be real either, only experiencing and feeling it personally can determine how strong he truly is."

However, Pei Ming still insisted on his previous stance, unusually showing a bit of the stubbornness hidden in his nature: "I don’t believe that [Profound Immortal] can achieve this level."

"Synchronizing the time flow of all worlds..."

"Such a thing, even in my prime, would require me to set aside prejudices and animosity with the [Supreme of Time] Mo Xing from the Sin Universe, closely cooperate, intertwine true spirits, and forego all apprehensions. Only then would there be a slight possibility of achieving it."

"In that state, if we harbored ill intent and wanted to eliminate the other, it would only take a single thought."

"You have access to intelligence on the [Profound Immortal], it’s not like you don’t know what kind of person he is, we know better than anyone."

"No one would be willing to enter into ’true spirit synchronization’ cooperation with him."

"So, if Zhao Guanlan could achieve the same thing alone, how is that possible?"

Qing Dai remained silent.

It’s proven that what he thinks doesn’t matter.

What’s important is...

Ma Ran thinks Zhao Guanlan can do it.

With this thought, Qing Dai, who was already a bit shaken, vaguely began to believe in Zhao Guanlan’s strength and foundation, viewing him as a being of Supreme Ruler level. He silently reviewed past memories, comparing the [Profound Immortal] Zhao Guanlan to those great divine ability users capable of touching Supreme Rank, to uncover his "true identity."

Seeing Qing Dai’s distracted look, Pei Ming did not speak further. He silently began to study the temporary voting panel that appeared before him.

"After detecting by ’All Heavens OL,’ your main body is located in [Main Universe] - [Solar System] - [Earth]."

"What time flow rate multiplier do you desire between Earth and Glory Continent? (To ensure your gaming experience and soul safety, please ensure the number is between 3-1000.)"

"Please think twice before proceeding; your voting result will serve as important reference data."

After thorough contemplation, just as Pei Ming was about to make his decision, Zhao Guanlan’s pleasant yet slightly evil voice echoed in the ears of all ’All Heavens OL’ players.

"Almost forgot."

"To ensure soul stability, for a time flow rate difference exceeding 800 times, players below Tier Twenty-Three in real world realm can only choose ’main body entry.’

"When there are players who don’t meet this condition, the intelligent elf of "All Heavens OL" will automatically send that player to a suitable ’new map.’

As of today, the realm cap of ’Burning Martial’ has been extrapolated by Ma Ran to Thirty Ranks, known to all in the world. ’Burning Martial’ Tier Twenty-Three exactly corresponds to Tier Twenty-Three of the Extraordinary System on Cangming Star.

At this stage, starlight cells are abundant, the liver is sublimated into a starlight organ, recovery capabilities are maximized, known as the [Blood Locking Technique].

Zhao Guanlan’s words carried a subtle sense of "if your liver isn’t good enough, don’t overextend," but very few people could detect it.

Upon hearing this, Pei Ming, the [Supreme of Space], trembled slightly, and his facial expression immediately froze. It took quite some time before he finally relaxed a bit.

He deeply exhaled, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and without hesitation, entered the number 1000.

Other players might max out the multiplier wanting to outpace peers, to take the lead and climb higher.

But Pei Ming wasn’t doing it for that reason.

He was well aware of his identity and position.

He was Ma Ran’s prisoner, a captive, and also the [Supreme of Space] under the unified will of the Endless Plane—at least before his rank was stripped away. No matter how dire his circumstances, his essence wouldn’t change much.

"I chose the 1000 times time flow rate difference."

Qing Dai’s voice suddenly rang in Pei Ming’s ear: "You must have chosen this number too."

No explanation needed.

As the same prisoners of Ma Ran, Qing Dai, Pei Ming, and Zhu Ding, they are ultimately different.

With opposing stances, the greater the time dilation, the more likely the strategic planner, Zhao Guanlan, is to make mistakes.

Even if Zhao Guanlan truly possesses the realm and power of the Supreme Ruler, it doesn’t mean he is omniscient and omnipotent.

Conquering All Heavens, and taking care of each player, ensuring the smooth operation of "All Heavens OL" without errors...

Where does Zhao Guanlan get his confidence from?

...

A time flow of a thousand times faster is equivalent to a player returning to the real world, having a meal, taking a bath, and then coming back to "All Heavens OL" only to find more than a month has passed on Glory Continent.

Maybe even their home is gone.

Even so, the benefits of high-speed time dilation far outweigh the disadvantages it will bring.

After convening a temporary meeting, Zhu Ding and the players of the Grass Hut Academy guild reached a consensus and ultimately decided to adjust the rate to 800.

After all, some players chose Mode 2 when entering "All Heavens OL," where their game characters are crafted by customizing, unable to adapt to speeds above 800 times.

In this process, Zhu Ding unhesitatingly made militarized management adjustments to the guild, strictly planning each guild player’s game time to ensure there are no less than ten combat personnel guarding the player camp on Glory Continent at any moment.

Combat, scenery, entertainment, missions, construction, invention, authorship, bards’ propaganda, developing war paint, raising combat pets...

Many players gradually began to regard "All Heavens OL" as a "second life," slowly immersing themselves in it.

If other game maps have a thousand-times speed, we will indeed have some disadvantages.

Zhu Ding used simple yet pointed language to persuade the guild players: "But... one year on Earth, a thousand years in ’All Heavens OL,’ the soul’s lifespan also wears out."

"A group all wanting immortality, how simple do you think that is?"

"We don’t need to compete with them."

"In my view, an 800-times time rate is already a fairly rigorous test."

"A thousand times..."

"We don’t need to pressure them; those guilds will collapse on their own."

"I dare say, in a world with a thousand-times speed, the guilds that ultimately survive will only be the minority who implemented strict militarized management, while lone wolf players and small personal alliances of less than five people will become mainstream."

"Compared to us, they have no advantages whatsoever!"

"The Grass Hut Academy guild wants to lead others and complete the conquest; ultimately, we still rely on the abilities and awareness of each of our members!"

"Besides Infinite Life, our advantage as players is only Quantitative Growth. We’re at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, which makes it even more important for everyone to unite and work together, to seek common ground while reserving differences and understand each other."

"This is an era where survival means becoming the king."

"As long as we don’t give up and persist until the end, we will definitely become the ultimate winners!"

Such a classic sermon, if said by someone else, could easily be annoying, but when Zhu Ding says it, everyone is convinced, feeling it is as it should be, even surprisingly honored.

Some members of the Grass Hut Academy even claim to see Ma Ran’s shadow in Zhu Ding.

The verbose player Desert Eagle even baselessly suspects that Zhu Ding is a "Prophet and Martial God descendant who traveled from future space-time back to the Extraordinary Era."

Compared to these naive comments that make supreme beings headache, Zhu Ding is more concerned with something else.

Take "Prisoner’s Might," which in "All Heavens OL," is rated as an S-level skill, for example.

He has already gained 600 experience points since gaining understanding, just 400 points short of leveling up to the next level.

Of these 600 experience points, five-sixths were plundered from the "Glory Continent" world, the other sixth... most likely came from the Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan or the Supreme of No Position Ma Ran.

What meaning does such a losing trade hold?

To be honest, Zhu Ding doesn’t understand, yet he is unwilling to give up thinking.

He wants to find the truth!

During this time, he has been staying at Grass Hut Academy, living in the dorm of the verbose Desert Eagle, never returning to his own three-person room.

Besides leading daily conquests in "All Heavens OL," doing some strategic and tactical planning for the shameless players, Zhu Ding also acquired lots of information on the Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan through interaction with players and members of the Grass Hut Academy.

Including the Sea Demon Feng Yuji catastrophe, the Wudang Mountain brotherhood event, the arrival of Chuanke, etc.

Of these, what he pays the most attention to is the part about "Game Main God Xuan."

After reassuring the guild members, Zhu Ding furrowed his brow, exited "All Heavens OL."

He quickly walked out of the dormitory, stood in the corridor, gazed into the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Ma Ran, come to see me soon!"
