## Description

A-Gen, Xiaohei, Xiaobai and Shanxin play All Living Creatures. However, after Shanxin is killed by a wolf, everyone logs out. They investigate the game online, and A-Gen discovers that the game's administrator is Kali, from the Guild Hall. Kali explains that the game was made to make money, and that it allows for money transactions to happen in-game. After a 30-minutes wait, Shanxin enters the game again with a new character, now a human one, and everyone starts playing again. They see a nearby group of players fighting a boss character made of stone. After they see how strong he is, a players talks to the boss and offers him money in exchange for a victory. To everyone's surprise, the boss accepts.

## Plot

A-Gen, Xiaobai, Xiaohei and Shanxin discover the world of All Living Creatures. Xiaobai has fun just by walking around the realistic environment. Shanxin notices that there are more than 14 million players connected, and the number is still going up. Despite that, they haven’t seen any other players, which means the world map is massive. Around them, some animals like a deer, some fishes and a iguana hang around. Xiaohei is sad he can’t summon his Heixius, and A-Gen tells him it’s because they don’t have their real bodies. Even though they can still feel and keep spiritual energy, it is much weaker than in reality.

Suddenly, a wild wolf appears before them and rushes to attack them. Shanxin is immediately killed by the beast, but A-Gen manages to defeat it by freezing it with water from a nearby river. Since the game was made by elfins, he’s able to use his real-world abilities on it. The beast then disappears and A-Gen levels up to level two. Since Shanxin was defeated, everyone agrees to log out. After some trouble trying to understand the menu interface, Xiaobai ends up finding how to leave the game. It says that the next time they’ll enter where they’ve exited, so they have to be careful.

In the real world, A-Gen agrees to tell Shanxin about Elfins, because he know he can trust Xiaobai’s best friend, and because it’d be too hard to talk to her about the game otherwise. Xiaohei and Xiaobai agree as well. After explaining things to her, Xioahei turns into his human form, and Shanxin immediately accepts it. The only thing she cares is that they’ll have an advantage in the game, now! While they wait for the 30-minutes cooldown before Shanxin can create a new character, everyone decides to investigate the game online.

At the Guild Hall, Qianzhen asks Qingqiu where is Mr. Fu. Qingqiu tells him that he went to play games. It suits him, since he wants to fight all the time. Now the Guild has an uncharacteristic peace. They then hear Fu complaining that he was defeated by a group of players that “camped” him. Tubei and director Kali hear him as well. Kali mentions that Elfins will have an advantage in the game at first, but that it won’t last forever. The game was created for elfins, but that’s just one reason.

At the countryside, Shanxin learns online that all sentient creatures in the game are actual players: every animal and insect. She finds it amazing. The only reason they were allowed to choose a race is because they had the limited edition consoles. Online, she also learns that characters start out as part of the faction of their birth location. If a human character kills another human in the same faction, their name will turn red. That won’t happen if you kill a character from other race. However, nobody knows what a red name actually means. People don’t even know what the main gameplay will be, yet. Shanxin gets surprised again when she learns that the game supports cash transactions. Meanwhile, the rule of deleting a character after their death has blown up online, with people making a petition to change it. However, A-Gen is sure they won’t change the rules. On the elfin forums, the game’s administrator, Kali, wrote that the rule would never be changed. Shanxin wonders why elfins would make a game in the first place…

At the guild hall, Kali explains that they made the game to make money! Its rigid rules, however, were not designed to make money, but to make the world as authentic as possible. However, because of the advanced nature of the game, not making money on it is impossible. Because there’s a cap on the number of possible players, Kali wants to have high-quality players. People who give up are not his target audience, so it’s better if they leave.

At the countryside, Shanxin read an official statement, which has a tough stance. It says the game sold 50 million sets, which would make it one of the top ten consoles in console history.

Kali remarks that it’s a seller’s market, and that there would be no fun in changing the rules just because the audience asks for it. Shanxin ends up agreeing with the death rule, finding it challenging but realistic. She can only find fun when there’s difficulty, and feels her hype burning!

Once the 30 minutes are up, they all log up back into the game. Shanxin now chooses a human character, which she dresses with fantasy clothing. Walking over a cliff, the group sees a nearby group of players. There are a bunch of people fighting a boss enemy, a big stone giant. The players all fight it but the boss defeats them easily. Then, one player attempts to talk to the boss, asking it if it is a player, and the boss answers that he is, surprising everyone. At the Guild Hall, Kali explains that some players are randomly asked if they want to become a boss. Those players are given a designated time and place they have to be and are given extra abilities. They are free for the rest of the time. In the game, the player asks the boss if it can allow itself to be defeated for 2,000$, and the boss accepts. All the other players complain.

At his house, Xiaobai’s grandpa drinks and mentions what a quiet day it is.
