But to be honest, the ones who suffered the most were the players who participated in the internal beta for a long time.

They are the ones who spend the most time with travelers and have the deepest feelings for them. Even though some of them may have known that the ending of the travelers they know is probably not going to be good, they are still deeply hurt when they see the travelers' endings in this way.

Some people even had such extreme emotional fluctuations that they were detected by the optical computer and intelligent robot butlers, who issued warnings to them to go to the medical cabin quickly.

However, after this incident, all those who have watched "When the Chinese Stars Shine" have deeply remembered the word "China" and the names of those stars.

My eyes hurt so much. It’s been half an hour since I finished watching it. Even thinking about it for a moment makes me cry uncontrollably.

「We have no grudges against each other, why are you hurting me like this? Uwaa——」

[Those who want to buy spaceship tickets in front, please wait for me! I’ll also come to buy tickets at what time QAQ]

[…Why? Being killed is fine, but why are there so many travelers dying of illness? Especially Huo Qubing… His name is Qubing, and he’s still so young… The producers must have done this on purpose! I’m so fucking bummed.]

[Wuwuwu, please change their ending, please wuwuwu]

【……】

Some people can still force themselves to crawl up and speak, writing in blood to ask CH to change the ending, but some people don't even have the energy to comment, and just sit there blankly without moving, or like Xiaoqin's grandfather, go to the Peach Blossom Spring to meet the travelers who have not left yet.

But at least at this time, no one paid attention to those words that criticized "Taohuayuan", and let the remaining water army jump up and down, saying that "Taohuayuan" had no connotation and praised another game.

It's easy to tell which company these internet trolls are behind, especially those who already dislike that company, and they mock them without any hesitation.

【Tell a joke, "No connotation"】

Are the producers and crew of "Meteor Sword" here? Could you please make a video like this? Aren't you guys supposed to be more insightful and nutritious?

[Pfft! I'd be too embarrassed to show up like this.]

It wasn't until some time after the meeting that the Star's chief producer noticed the change in the situation on Star Online. After figuring out the reason for the reversal, he frowned and thought for a long time. He asked his assistant to call back all the online trolls, and then said to the assistant, "We must find a way to bring this person into our company. We can't let other companies, especially Universe Ocean, take him away."

"...when we just hacked him?" the assistant hesitated.

"No one wants to go against the benefits. As long as the benefits are in place, he'll agree. Listen, we have to get the copyright to this producer's Huaxia series of games." Although the Star's chief producer was not very good, his vision had returned at this time. "If he takes the copyright to the universe sea with him, I'm afraid we will only be ranked behind the universe sea in the future."

The assistant was speechless.

The assistant hesitated to speak.

“What if they don’t want to come?”

"Then find a way to recruit someone from his team. Without the team, no one can do it alone." The head producer said, then handed the task to the assistant, "You handle it well."

assistant:"……"

The outside world is unaware of the sudden change in strategy on the part of Star.

And what about Xu Piao who was paying attention to the comments on Star Online at this time?

She looked at these StarCraft players, just as she wanted to see, crying for the people in Chinese history buried in her memory. She was moved by them and showed a satisfied expression. She rubbed Da Congming's hair with one hand and gave a thumbs up to Hughley for editing this video.

“It’s a good cut.”

As expected of a textual research player, he was able to figure out the order in which things happened and the order of events in the traveler's life from so much information. This was something that even Xu Piao would find very impressive.

During this process, Hewlett didn't come to ask her questions very often.

However, the historian's description of Yue Fei as "like a tireless needle, trying his best to mend this broken country" was not something Hewlett thought of, nor was it something Xu Piao included in "Peach Blossom Spring" from the beginning.

But when Hewlett was making this collection, Xu Piao suddenly wanted to add a sentence, so he added it into the game overnight and sent it to Hewlett.

And Hewlett did not disappoint her expectations and presented what she wanted to express in the most appropriate way.

"You're happy," 079 observed her expression for a moment and recounted, "but it's not because the game is so well-known?"

"That's not the way to say it." Xu Piao thought for a moment, "I'm happy that the game is widely known, but if I go out and meet someone randomly in the future, and that person knows Su Shi, Li Bai, Yue Fei, and Qin Shihuang, and can recite Spring Sleeping Without Knowing the Dawn, I'll be happier."

Thinking of this scene, Xu Piao's eyes were filled with smiles.

What should I do if I feel lonely when I come to a strange world?

Since she couldn't go back, the best way for her was to make this strange world as familiar as possible.

So now, the more people come to her homepage to cry and curse her, the happier she is.

However, it seems that because these historical figures were too cruel, some StarCraft players who were simply attracted by the video this time and have not played "Taohuayuan" have developed a little fear of "Taohuayuan".

Is it really this painful in the game? I'm so scared. I've already cried myself blind today and I don't want to cry again in the game... But I love Zhuge Liang so much, what should I do? QAQ]

[So please change the ending quickly, so I can play the game without worry]

[It’s okay, the ending of my favorite Mulan is okay, but many of the other travelers are...ah, I don’t dare to play it.]

[Really… I can’t cry anymore. Aren’t games supposed to make people happy? QAQ]

[That's all I have to say today. I won't play this game unless the ending is changed. ]

Xu Piao had anticipated this situation and after considering the wording, he calmly issued an announcement.

[Announcement on subsequent updates of "Taohuayuan": Considering that many travelers will die during the story, in order to allow players to continue to meet those travelers, after the next event of "Shanhailu" is over, "Taohuayuan" will launch a special system, [Soul Returns].

As long as the player fishes out objects related to the traveler in the [River of History], and the traveler is already dead in the development timeline, he can trigger [Soul Returns] and attract the traveler's soul.

Furthermore, for those who had unfulfilled ideals or responsibilities in their previous life and were unable to settle in Peach Blossom Spring, their chances of settling there will increase if they return to Peach Blossom Spring in their soul state.

Along with the announcement, she also attached a simple video she made.

This video is not as long as the one made by Hewlett, only five or six minutes.

In the video, Su Shi and his brother Su Zhe brought wine to invite Li Bai and Du Fu to go boating on the river. Yuan Zhen, Bai Juyi, and other poets were brewing tea, watching the snow and fishing in the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the back mountain. Li Qingzhao called a group of people to play mahjong on the stone table under the big tree at the entrance of the village. The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang lived next to each other and went to find Zhuge Liang who had returned to farming life. Boya reunited with Zhong Ziqi in the Peach Blossom Spring.

There are also generals such as Yue Fei, Huo Qubing, Han Xin, Mu Guiying, and Xin Qiji, who eventually truly achieved the goal of retiring from the army and returning to the countryside.

If the previous video represents cruel history, then this video represents the best wishes.

It was clearly a dreamlike scene, but the players who had just come out of the video [When the Stars of China Shine] felt their eyes warm when they saw these dreamlike scenes, and they almost cried again.

[…Damn it, I’m being held captive.]

[No matter how old they were when they died, they all look young after their souls return and settle in Peach Blossom Land QAQ]

[It’s a foul, it’s a foul]

[Alright, alright, you win, I play, is it okay if I play? QAQ!]

[Why don't you just stop waiting for the next Shanhailu event? I order you to open this gameplay mode right now, immediately, or I'll kneel down and beg you!]

Hewlett, who was making "When the Stars of China Shine" and silently swallowed the knife, watched these scenes quietly and asked Xu Piao with a little distrust.

【ch, did you really think about this setting from the beginning? 】

According to his experience when editing the video, his understanding of CH is that he will kill the player to the end without leaving any room for maneuver.

【ch: Yes, I thought about it from the beginning.】

In fact, it is not finished yet, so we have to wait for the next big event of "Record of Mountains and Seas" to appear in the plot of Hou Tu's transformation into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the appearance of things like the souls of the underworld.

Xu Piao had already decided to make this [Soul Returns] when he was working on "Peach Blossom Spring". This setting... to be honest, it's more like a fan fiction concept - to make the impossible come true and make up for regrets.

However, in this case, the area of ​​Peach Blossom Spring will be greatly expanded. Xu Piao has already anticipated that there may be many players in Peach Blossom Spring who are obsessed with traveling through the entire map [Soul Returns].

The family system is about to be launched, and Xu Piao sees that many players play together as a family.

…

By the time Xu Piao finished the second phase of the "Shanhailu" [War of the Lich] event and the gameplay functions of "Taohuayuan" were almost ready for launch, Lake, who had been out of touch with Star Network for more than three and a half months, finally made all preparations to make the game and came out.

In the past, no matter how long he stayed in seclusion to make games, the result would be the same when he came out, not much different from before the seclusion.

But this time, after he came out and turned on his computer, he found that the whole world seemed different.

Various names appeared on the Star Network, such as Li Bai, Su Shi, Yue Fei, Hua Mulan, Du Fu, and Huo Qubing, which seemed very unfamiliar to him, but could be seen in many discussion forums and chat channels, and it seemed that everyone knew these names, and he was the only one who was confused.

Even someone as socially anxious as Lake felt a little uneasy.

He should have really only been in seclusion for three to four months to prepare, instead of disappearing for three or four years, right?

Who are these people? Are they new stars or other famous figures who have emerged in the past three or four years... no, in the past three or four months?

The author has something to say:

Lake: I traveled through time?
