Here is the text with the dialogues properly formatted:

    【I’ve seen many newcomers like this before. At first, I thought Mi Gao was different, but in the end, he turned out to be just like everyone else.】

    【What kind of newcomer, no matter how amazing, can get an SSS rating for clearing a dungeon? Seriously, does he think other top players are fools?】

    【I watched both videos, it’s completely fake! How could he ignore the rules? Do you believe this? If this isn’t a compiled video, I’ll eat a chair while standing on my head!】

    【What, did you come here just to eat and drink?】

    【Hey, sour cucumbers, go away! People like you can’t stand seeing others succeed!】

    There are haters everywhere.

    But Mi Gao paid no attention to the trolls in the chat.

    He was even happy about it, because the more controversy, the more views.

    “Alright, this player has already entered the dungeon. Let’s see how he’ll proceed.”

    “The Mirror Castle is an E-rank dungeon. Its difficulty, of course, can’t compare to D-rank dungeons and above, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.”

    “When the Mysterious World first appeared, I showed how top players cleared this dungeon, and some of its traps are quite nasty for newcomers.”

    Mi Gao explained to the viewers, and the chat gradually calmed down.

    On the screen, Bai Lian had already started reviewing the Adventurer’s Codex.

    At that moment, several players in the same corridor simply left their spots.

    “These players seem experienced. They didn’t even read the rules, obviously knowing them in advance.”

    “Players like this usually buy guides or gather information about the dungeon before entering the Mysterious World, giving them a significant advantage once they enter the dungeon.”

    Mi Gao immediately explained this to the viewers.

    A few minutes later, Bai Lian finished studying the rules and also decided to leave his current spot.

    “It seems this player has a clear mind. He immediately chose the correct path.”

    Seeing Bai Lian leave the spot, a smile appeared on Mi Gao’s face.

    【Alright, Mi Gao, stop praising him so ridiculously. Aren’t there others doing the same thing?】

    【Yeah, and you call this a clear mind? Isn’t this something any normal person would do?】

    【Mi Gao, did you take a bribe? Why are you praising a newcomer so much?】

    【Let me tell you a joke: a newcomer took two steps, and boom — clear mind (lol).】

    【Mi Gao, don’t ruin your job! I came to listen to your explanations, not to hear you hype up newcomers!】

    Seeing these comments, Mi Gao felt a little awkward.

    His recent statement might indeed have sounded like excessive praise.

    “Ahem, let’s continue watching,” he said, not saying anything more, and stared back at the stream.

    Suddenly, Bai Lian, who had been walking, stopped.

    Then an expression of surprise appeared on his face, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

    “Don’t panic, guys, don’t panic!”

    “Let me think, let me figure out what’s going on...”

    “There must be details we missed...”

    Mi Gao was the first to regain his composure, hastily trying to retrace Bai Lian’s actions.

    From the moment he entered the dungeon, the “Adventurer’s Codex” appeared, he looked at it and walked down the corridor...

    In the end, Mi Gao was completely baffled.

    Because all of Bai Lian’s actions seemed absolutely normal.

    He just couldn’t figure out how he cleared the dungeon!

    Questions in the viewers’ minds:

    【What’s happening? How did he suddenly clear it?】

    【Damn, I just went to the bathroom, and you’re telling me this guy already cleared it?!】

    “Didn’t they say it takes at least two days to find all the clues? I read that in the guides... What’s this completion notification about?”

    “I get it!”

    “What do you get?”

    “This player showed it from the start. Look, his ‘Adventurer’s Codex’ has a unique mark on the cover that others don’t have. It’s a button for quick clearing... Pfft, guys, I can’t keep lying.” raNOВE?S?

    “You can clear dungeons like that? I don’t watch streams much, don’t fool me!”

    “Damn, I’m in shock. This is the first time I’ve seen someone clear it so fast!”

    “Mi Gao is completely baffled, hahaha, look at his expression. He thought he’d be commenting normally, but he wasn’t even given the chance!”

    “Turns out Mi Gao was too conservative in his predictions. How did this guy even do it?”

    The stream chat was in an uproar!

    The dungeon had just started, and someone had already cleared it, shocking all the viewers!

    Looking at the flood of comments, Mi Gao opened his mouth:

    “This is definitely going to blow up the internet!”

    He could imagine the uproar Bai Lian’s clearing video would cause once it was posted.

    The Mysterious World and the real world would be in shock!

    This doesn’t even compare to the previous SSS-rated clears.

    Because before, you could follow the progress of those players, but here... even Mi Gao couldn’t understand how Bai Lian did it!

    But that wasn’t all.

    Before the viewers could fully process what had happened, another notification sounded.

    “The remaining players failed to complete the task and will be eliminated!”
