For Fang Zheng, this was simply a nightmare.
The thing he hated most was maintaining a code base written by others, and this code base made Fang Zheng feel even more disgusted.
All the events were a mess, and they were entangled in a maddening way, which made Fang Zheng feel like he was seeing a theme city created by a psychopathic player. The best way to sort out these junk was to just delete all the blueprints and build a new one...
But there is nothing we can do.
In the end, Fang Zheng had to take a rather stupid approach to solve the problem of confusing timelines.
It has been said before that the confusion of the timeline in Conan's world is caused by a "game program error". In other words, according to the game settings, when Conan goes to location A, different cases will occur in the four different seasons of "spring, summer, autumn and winter". For example, in spring, it is the "Valentine's Day Murder Case", in summer, it is the "Vacation Murder Case", in autumn, it is the "Pinic Murder Case", and in winter, it is the "Skiing Murder Case".
So you can't trigger the Skiing Murders in the spring, and you can't go on Valentine's Day in the summer.
But after the timeline became chaotic, it changed from choosing one out of four to triggering all four events. This is why things like nine Valentine's Days and five Christmases have passed in the Conan world, but the year is still not over.
Founder’s solution to this problem is very simple. Instead of choosing one from N options, we split each trigger event and move it back!
In other words, one of the four events ABCD that would be randomly triggered at location A in the past has now been triggered in a time-based manner: event A in the first year, event B in the second year, event C in the third year, event D in the fourth year, and so on.
We won’t have any random triggers, just make it a fixed process, you can play it if you want or not, go away... Anyway, this game is not made by me.
In the end, Fang Zheng solved the timeline disorder problem in the Conan world in this way. Of course, as a price, the possibility of Japan's crime rate remaining high in the next few years or even decades has increased. Fang Zheng has nothing to say about this except to express his condolences - it's much better than letting me destroy the world.
Of course, in the process, Fang Zheng also found information about the dark organization, and at the same time created the antidote for APTX4869, and gave it to Conan, indicating that he would solve these troubles himself, and then took Mingmei, Xiaoai and Mira away from this world.
There was a flash of light before my eyes.
When everyone opened their eyes, the first thing they saw was a dome that was hundreds of meters high, the shiny floor, and the surrounding grass and trees.
"Commander, you're back."
Iona stood quietly in front of Fang Zheng and greeted him respectfully and obediently.
"I'm back... Well, it looks like Star City has been built quite well."
Fang Zheng looked at the Star City in front of him with satisfaction. This was the central fortress of the Tiandao Palace in the Four-leaf Galaxy. When Fang Zheng entered the new world before, this place had just begun to be built, but now it has been completed.
"Yes, the Star City construction has been completed to 80%. Currently, there are two full-strength super flagship fleets docked here to deal with any problems that may arise at any time. The interstellar bypass has been completed, and the flight time from the Clover Galaxy to the Four-Leaf Galaxy has been shortened to three hours."
"So if you want to be rich, you have to build roads. The ancients were right."
Fang Zheng nodded with emotion.
"What else?"
"Currently, reports from various places say that everything is basically normal. There are no problems with the Tiandao Palace and it is operating stably. The Galactic Empire is currently in a stalemate with the Chaos Demons and the Tyranids. We have already eliminated more than 30% of the Tyranids in the outer war zone of the galaxy."
"Well, that's good. As long as everything goes well..."
While looking at the intelligence in front of him and listening to Iona's report, Fang Zheng had no objection, as long as everything was normal. In any case, he had laid a sufficient foundation, and the local garrison troops could basically handle the general troubles.
Fang Zheng and Iona were walking and talking here, while Miyano Akemi, Haibara Ai and Mira who were following behind were completely dazed. Although they had prepared themselves mentally before coming here, after seeing everything in front of them, they still... couldn't believe their eyes.
"Commander, who are these people...?"
Only after finishing the report did Iona turn her gaze towards the three girls beside Fang Zheng. Upon noticing her gaze, the three girls immediately became nervous.
"They are the residents of Planet 5 of the Four Leaf Galaxy and will be our representatives on that planet."
This is also the reason why Fang Zheng brought Mingmei and the others to Tiandao Palace. Because the situation in each world is different, Fang Zheng has also formulated a series of regulations. If it is a peaceful world, then Fang Zheng basically only controls one of the forces, or even a small group.
For example, in the Cicada World, Fang Zheng asked Rika Furude and the others to help keep an eye on the situation. In the game world, Fang Zheng only set up a game company CCC. In the love world, Fang Zheng cooperated with the 765 agency. Fang Zheng even let Misato Katsuragi and the newly born NERV handle the trouble at the second coordinate point.
In terms of the third coordinate point, Fang Zheng currently only controls Academy City. In the Type-Moon world, Fang Zheng only controls the world of magicians. The mecha world is considered to be Fang Zheng's largest. In the Mass Effect world, he occupies several star systems, and in the mecha world, Fang Zheng controls the Chinese Federation.
Generally speaking, the purpose of Tiandao Palace is that if there are local forces, then they will quietly be bystanders and occasionally lend a helping hand, but unless these worlds encounter things like chaos invasion that they cannot handle on their own, Tiandao Palace will not take the initiative to intervene.
Only in a world like the First Coordinate Point, which has been eroded by chaos and is almost completely destroyed, will the Tiandao Palace take the initiative to assume the responsibility of ruling.
Just like this planet, Fang Zheng decided to give the "super high school level player" Nanami Chiaki to be in charge of the "Damage World" on the surface, and Celestina and Maizono Sayaka would assist her. As for Conan in the other world, Fang Zheng decided to give it to Princess Mira - no, Her Majesty the Queen, and Miyano Akemi and Haibara Ai would only be responsible for assisting her.
In comparison, Nanami Chiaki has a heavier burden, because the surface world is basically in a state of destruction after despair and nuclear bombing, and she has to take on the task of reconstruction. On Conan's side, Mira only needs to ensure that her country is safe and then eat melons everywhere...
Fang Zheng had explained all this to the three of them on the way here, but for them, it was still a little hard to believe just by hearing it. It was not until now, when they witnessed it all with their own eyes, that they finally felt the weight of Fang Zheng's words.
Of course, every time Fang Zheng comes back from other worlds, there are a lot of problems that need to be solved.
"Ms. Nanami said she was short-handed, so Ms. Asuna and the others went to help."
"I know this. She told me before. I will contact her."
Fang Zheng certainly understood that the problem in Qihai was very serious. Nuclear winter, the spread of despair, the Apocalypse virus, and all sorts of other crap like the Vampire Empire had all come out. The vampires were destroyed by Fang Zheng's direct orbital strike, and the Apocalypse virus had also been eliminated, but nuclear winter and other mutant creatures were still a big threat.
Oh, speaking of vampires...
“Fang Zheng——!!”
Accompanied by a scream, the next moment Mingmei, Ai and Mira saw a cute girl with black bat wings and long pink hair suddenly swooping down from the air.
“Help!!”
"Krulu? What's going on?"
Looking at Krul in front of him, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows. This was the vampire queen he had captured in the Bullet World before. After that, Fang Zheng kept her here as a captive. Fang Zheng didn't have any requirements for this vampire queen...
"You're still asking me?"
Krul grabbed Fang Zheng's clothes tightly, his face flushed with anger.
"What kind of monster is that Flandre?"
"What monster? I'm a vampire just like you."
"You're kidding! I've never seen that kind of vampire..."
However, before Krululu finished speaking, a cheerful and pure voice was heard from behind.
"Ah, Clulu, I found you!!"
“——!!”
Hearing this voice, Krul's face turned pale, and then he ran to the other side in a flash. At the same time, everyone saw Flandre descending from the sky with a smile, and then stretched out her hand and grabbed Krul.
"I got you."
As Flandros spoke innocently, the next moment, Krul's body suddenly exploded like a balloon, and his limbs and broken body fell to the ground. Krul's head rolled on the floor several times and came to Mingmei's feet. She looked at the three people in front of her with eyes wide open, as if she was a poor and miserable victim telling her painful fate...
"Alas--!!"
Seeing this scene, Mingmei screamed in fright, and Mira gasped. Haibara Ai's face also turned pale, and she hid behind her sister.
"Oh, Daddy! Hug me!"
Seeing Fang Zheng, Flandre immediately shifted her attention and stretched out her hand to Fang Zheng with a smile. Fang Zheng also stretched out his hand and held Flandre in his arms.
"Well, I'm back. Are you behaving well?"
"Yes, I always listen to my dad and only play with Clulu. Clulu is so fun!!"
"What...is...fun?!"
At this moment, accompanied by a resentful voice like that of a devil from hell, Krul's body that had been blown apart quickly returned to its original state, but her face was much paler than before.
"Now you know how miserable I am!!"
"How bad is it?"
Fang Zheng glanced at Krululu.
"You can't die anyway, so what's the problem?"
"Is this a question of whether I can die or not? You might as well give me a quick death..."
"Krulu, Krulu, come again! Hide and seek!"
“——!”
Before Flandre finished speaking, Krullu's figure turned into a hurricane and disappeared at the end of the corridor. Flandre clapped her hands vigorously, then broke free from Fang Zheng's arms with a giggle, and flew in the direction where Krullu disappeared.
“…”
The three of them stared at this scene in amazement. After a moment, Mira looked at Fang Zheng in surprise.
"Fang Zheng, you have...a child?"
"I adopted him, so I can say that. There is no way I could give birth to a vampire."
"But, but that's too... too scary."
At this moment, Xiao Ai also poked her head out from behind Mingmei and looked at the smooth and bright floor. Although there was not a trace of blood on the floor at this moment, she did not think that what she had just seen was an illusion.
"That girl named Krulu is so pitiful."
"Pitiful?"
Facing Xiao Ai's question, Fang Zheng chuckled.
"Don't be fooled by her appearance. She is actually the queen of the vampire empire. After the world was destroyed by a nuclear bomb, the vampires under her came to the surface and tried to build a vampire dynasty. They slaughtered humans wantonly and took children your age back home to be kept like pigs and sheep. They ate them whenever they wanted and slaughtered them whenever they wanted. Do you still feel pity for her now?"
"Well……"
After hearing this, Xiao Ai stopped talking. She had never thought that such a thing would actually happen.
"Since Krul can't die anyway, let her keep Flandre company. Besides..."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked towards the end of the corridor again, and happened to see a petite green figure leaving with Flandre.
"She has a new friend now."
