Apocalypse降临 + Live Broadcast + National Destiny + Rule Tales怪谈 + Parallel Worlds
Eerie creatures descend upon Earth, rules become humanity's final showdown against the unspeakable.
Although the chosen ones don't know how to complete the game, they can still guess the general direction. In addition, different worlds have relatively fixed events, so they are not completely clueless.
Taking this world as an example, the key to the outer city is the resistance organization and Mary's family.
The former can provide the chosen ones with a relatively safe environment and a lot of information about the dungeon world. Even if there are no computer experts among the chosen ones, they can still gain a reliable teammate.
The latter involves flying fish lines and cyber disease, and provides a very basic way to pass the level.
If the chosen one wants to abandon their teammates and escape from Vena City with Mary's family, they only need to resolve the pursuit in Vena City two or three times to successfully meet the conditions for a normal victory. The specific number depends on when the person living in the house is discovered to be problematic.
If you are unfortunately killed along the way... I'm sorry, the trust of Mary's family will not be inherited by the next chosen one, so please explore other ways to complete the game.
Whether it's a chosen one like Chen Junyu who infiltrates the inner city on his own merits, or someone like Yin Zhu who enters the inner city openly through a resistance organization, they will basically trigger the "getting caught if you don't pick flowers" scenario. Following the hackers of the resistance organization will inevitably trigger the "prince asking for help" scenario.
According to the information provided by the think tank, the instance will undergo a certain degree of world line convergence. If Hirano San and Yin Zhu had not caused trouble at that time, Bu Zhaihua might have been directly chosen by the God of Performance.
This is what the Lavender Kingdom explicitly pointed out when it reminded Jennifer: the chosen ones of six worlds have already received requests to save people.
The think tank on Blue Star compared the differences between the twenty-five dungeon worlds and conducted in-depth analysis, discovering that the Chosen One's actions do indeed cause a butterfly effect, but at the same time, there are also world line convergence situations.
Both occur simultaneously.
However, although the butterfly effect has a small impact, the accumulation of quantity will eventually lead to a qualitative change.
Just like Ivan, the chosen one from the Russian nation, who was trapped in the basement in the "Love Hospital" instance, he kept changing the hospital but failed to find the right method. In the end, he and some natives were trapped in the basement and died due to confusion in their self-awareness.
It is precisely because of precedents that think tanks from various countries are being extra cautious in group dungeons. After all, if things go wrong this time, there will be no chance to reset the dungeon, which could kill five countries in one fell swoop.
Yin Zhu quickly reviewed the events she had encountered in Vina City so far in her mind.
Rescuing the natives was just a side effect; the main goal for Yin Zhu and the other two was to clear the dungeon. If rescuing them could get the prince to help the chosen ones, then they could certainly lend a hand.
None of the three people who came to the inner city this time were combat-oriented, but Yin Zhu's talent countered machines, Hirano Shan's talent countered humans, and with the worm's hacking ability as a backup, the three of them could almost wreak havoc in the inner city.
The premise is that the other party kills you before they even see you.
Yin Zhu had originally considered having Jennifer launch a long-range attack—after all, her talent allowed her to almost always hit the target precisely.
However, after Feiyu reminded him that there was something similar to an anti-missile system in the inner city, Yin Zhu gave up this unrealistic idea. It was probably because the stone would have been shattered by Eve's laser before it even flew over.
Other chosen ones can choose to help the resistance take power and rule the city of Vina.
However, Yin Zhu has an additional option:
Hirano San.
If it weren't for the goal of achieving a perfect clear, Yin Zhu would have really considered creating a goddess in this world—if this were a solo dungeon, Hirano Shan would probably have already ascended to the position of a god by herself.
We're really sorry that the four of us dragged the team down.
Seeing Yin Zhu suddenly look at her strangely halfway through her sentence, a pink glint flashed in Hirano Shan's eyes. The next second, her face darkened, and she said sarcastically, suppressing her anger, "Sister~ Don't daydream~"
Yin Zhu touched her nose and continued to think seriously:
"Currently, we may encounter the following problems in our rescue efforts. First, there is the issue of surveillance. However, we have a large number of personnel, so this is not a major problem."
Both the worm and the prince nodded confidently.
"Secondly, there's the issue of personnel. If there's a problem with the surveillance, I think the gods will likely send someone to stay and monitor it..."
“No,” the prince suddenly interrupted. “I can replace the surveillance footage with repetitive, normal content. Eve won’t be able to find the problem without repeatedly checking it.”
The worm, with a "childish and youthful" expression, gloated, "If someone goes missing, the surveillance footage will definitely be checked. Once Eve finds obvious signs of modification, she will likely raise the alarm to the highest level. Of course, she will use AI algorithms to create a seamless fake surveillance video, so Eve won't be able to find any problems for a while."
AI... Yin Zhu suddenly realized that the technological level of this world far surpasses that of Earth.
“Okay, then the third point, have you considered where Bu Zhaihua will stay?” Yin Zhu spread her hands. “Besides, the three of us don’t have a place to stay either. You should know that there are infected people outside right now. Although they can’t recognize us as normal people because of the magnetic field, it’s still troublesome if they only talk about our status as wanted criminals.”
The prince was quite confident about this: "You can stay at my house! My dad is the warden of the Heavenly Prison, a war god, and he's rarely home, so he has tons of empty rooms. I'm an A-level citizen, my house is full of robots, and occasionally a few B-level divine servants come over. Whether they're infected or not, they have to listen to me!"
The privileged class is truly something else...
Yin Zhu was envious, but when she thought about how everyone in the instance was actually dead and that what she saw was a high-dimensional interactive replay projection, she suddenly lost her envious feelings.
In the instance, apart from the Sin City Lord who stole the unspeakable power, there was no other native who was able to realize the truth.
These indigenous people all hoped that their lives would get better in the future. In fact, the Chosen Ones knew that their lives had already ended. No matter how the Chosen Ones influenced them, things would not get better or worse. In other words, the bad ending had already been achieved.
The four of them discussed some more details, mainly with three of them talking and Hirano San occasionally mentioning a key point.
Finally, the prince went to the window and tapped the wall. The wall automatically disintegrated, creating a gap, and then an airship appeared in front of them.
"Come on up."
Without looking back, the prince jumped up first.
Like a country bumpkin, Yin Zhu touched the gap in the wall in shock. The smooth feel made it seem as if this place was originally a door and the previous wall was an illusion.
The worm and Hirano Shan had already boarded the airship. When Hirano Shan passed by Yin Zhu, she even tiptoed and ruffled her hair.
Yin Zhu: "...Wait for me."
