Xiao Baicai became autistic after the live broadcast ended.
He was so autistic that he didn't even want to do the daily tasks of "Shan Hai Lu". After seeing Su Shi off, he left the holographic game cabin and watched the two clips cut from the recording repeatedly in a self-torturing manner.
One part is about dancing with swords, composing poems and singing in the snow, and the other part is about seeing the life of Li Bai and Du Fu.
After looking around, he opened the dialog box with CH, wanting to curse but stopping himself. In the end, he managed to suppress the urge to curse CH and just buried his head in his hands.
For the audience watching the live broadcast, it was probably like watching an unforgettable movie, like a dream that still moved them upon waking. But for Xiao Baicai, they were people he had actually interacted with... Even though this was only Xiao Baicai's first meeting with Li Bai and Du Fu, it was precisely because this first encounter was so stunning that it became even more unforgettable.
...The impact of "Peach Blossom Spring" is really too great.
Xiaobaicai shut himself off for a long moment, wanting to curse but holding back. Finally, he struggled to type in a chat with CH: "Aren't games supposed to be fun? Finding fun ways to play, meeting travelers who could become friends... Why did it turn out like this?" [choked up.jpg]
ch was probably not online immediately, and it took a long time for him to reply to Xiaobaicai with a smiling emoticon.

Of course Xu Piao was happy...well, of course it wasn't just because he had hit someone with his knife, but mainly because he saw the StarCraft players discussing it heatedly.
During this period of observation, Xu Piao discovered that StarCraft players were quite receptive to Chinese culture, such as poetry and military tactics, and that it wasn't difficult for them to understand. Xu Piao guessed that the most basic reason for this was probably because everyone in StarCraft spoke Chinese.
In other words, it all comes down to... this is a book!
Perhaps it is because the author of the book she wore is a flower-growing author, and these interstellar people can be said to have originated from the flower-growing family, so even if they are encountering these cultures for the first time, these can be used to resonate with them.
And slowly transform them into the shape of China.
On the Star Network and in the discussion forums, there are many players discussing things like poetry, military strategies, chess, and these travelers.
However, most of these people didn't have beta accounts and only learned about it through watching the livestream. Those who actually participated in the beta, on the other hand, rarely participated in the discussions on Starnet; it was unusually quiet.
Whether it is Su Shi, Li Bai, Du Fu, Mu Guiying, Zhen Mi, Yue Fei, Huo Qubing... these travelers are not only encountered by Xiaobaicai and Xiaoqin Grandpa. Among the 30,000 beta test players, there are many others who have encountered these travelers.
Take Li Bai and Du Fu for example. Some people may have met them when they were teenagers or young adults and have just gotten to know them and become friends with them, while others have already interacted with them several times and have formed a deep friendship with them.
...and then today, Xiao Baicai's livestream directly spoiled the ending for them. Because Xiao Baicai is now the most popular streamer of "Peach Blossom Spring" and "Record of Mountains and Seas," every time a livestream starts, it's always at the top, and the screen recordings after the livestream are widely circulated, so they can't help but see it.
It was quite unexpected, and I even couldn't believe it.
In a chat channel spontaneously formed by the internal test players of "Taohuayuan", someone was discussing this matter.
This chat channel was created by Hewlett. About three-quarters of the beta test players are in this group, including Xiaobaicai and Xiaoqin's grandfather. They are also in this chat channel, but they don't show up very often.
[——《Peach Blossom Spring》Internal Beta Chat Channel——]
"I'm saying, is it possible that we're the same traveler in everyone's paradise, yet not the same traveler? Or perhaps, now that we know the travelers' endings, we can find ways to change them?" someone said during a discussion in the chat channel.
Since we already know from Xiaobaicai that Li Bai will die drunkenly trying to catch the moon, can I persuade him not to drink on the boat? 】
[Even if you ask us, we don’t know. You’ll have to ask the producer.]
"Since the producers dared to reveal the future of the travelers to us, they shouldn't be afraid that we might want to change it, or is it because they wanted us to change it anyway?"
One player, filled with worry, typed in the chat, "Is this confirmed? My son's been running into that poet named Li Bai lately, learning some swordplay and poetry from him. He often recites something like 'The moon shines brightly before my bed, I wonder if it's frost on the ground.' If this is true, he'll be heartbroken..."
The person who sent this message used his wife's StarNet account to draw a beta test account. As a result, both his and his wife's StarNet accounts were drawn for the beta test. However, his wife had no interest in "Taohuayuan" before, so he bound the other account to his ten-year-old son. Usually, holographic games have a guardian mode. "Taohuayuan" can also be played by visiting relatives and friends, so he can feel at ease to take his child to play.
His original intention was simply to take his family along because catching seafood was fun. But after meeting Li Bai, his children's dream became to become a poet and swordsman.
"I think if the ending has already been decided, it's unlikely the producers would let us change it." A logically coherent beta player calmly typed a line into the chat, "Don't forget, travelers aren't all on the same timeline. If one traveler's experience changes, will the perceptions of future travelers who know about their experience also change? If one person changes, everyone changes too. It's a chain reaction."
Hewlett quietly watched the discussions in the beta test player chat channel, his fingers tapping on his laptop, which had memorized countless things, and a bold guess gradually arose in his mind.
The producer of "Peach Blossom Spring" may want to present more than just some stories.
No matter how Hewlett thought or inferred, he couldn't understand how "Taohuayuan" managed to connect stories spanning so many years without any flaws. Moreover, these NPC travelers were all made to look like real people, with background stories and related stories that could be traced.
It would be too scary to say that these were all created out of thin air by the producers.
So far, the recorded history of interstellar space is only 500 years. Although the development in these 500 years can be said to be rapid, all the history before 500 years ago has not left any information records due to a cosmic disaster.
However, the time span involved in the Peach Blossom Spring has long exceeded Hewlett's imagination, and is far more than five hundred years.
There are many games that fabricate their own history, and most of them even create a non-existent fantasy world, making up all kinds of epics and heroic deeds. However, the so-called history in those games is just a background story. Which one can achieve the level of "Peach Blossom Spring"?
A few days ago, a traveler named Sima Qian came to his Peach Blossom Spring. From this traveler, he learned about the general changes from the so-called "Five Emperors Period" to a dynasty called "Han".
In addition, he had picked up three marching maps from different periods in the stream in his Peach Blossom Spring.
Hewlett felt that this was almost a clear indication. The producer seemed to have been keeping an eye on his game progress and bringing clues to him bit by bit. For some reason, he seemed a little eager for him to quickly solve the puzzle set by TA, but sometimes he would hide the clues reservedly, as if he didn't want to reveal them so quickly.
He felt that the process of exploring "Peach Blossom Spring" was like playing a game with this magical and mysterious producer.
However, this kind of game just hit a certain point in Hewlett's mind, arousing all his curiosity and competitive spirit.
[Everyone.] Hewlett said in the beta player chat channel, [I have an idea. I want to make a collection of all travelers and their backgrounds. However, it is difficult for me to meet all the travelers by myself, so I need some help from some companions. I wonder if anyone is interested in joining in. I can pay for it.]
When you meet a traveler, just confirm their time period, ask them about other travelers' stories, and then summarize the information you get here. If the traveler you meet is not the same age as the travelers you have met, it is best to ask them about their experience as well.
Hewlett, the great textual researcher, has a very good reputation among the players. After hearing what he said, many beta testers expressed their interest in joining.
"I don't need any reward. I also want to know what the lives of the travelers I know are like."
【I also join】
【I】
【I'm coming too!】
Me, me, me!
…
There are quite a few players who are willing to join this plan, and they all raised their hands to sign up in the channel.
Xiaoqin, who was surfing the internal test player group and peeking at the screen using her grandfather's account, also quietly raised her hand and signed up.
Well, actually she is quite interested.
If at the beginning she was worried about "Grandpa, when you come back from Peach Blossom Land, will I still be your favorite granddaughter?" when she saw her grandfather raising cubs happily in Peach Blossom Land, then later on, she completely fell into the trap of raising her younger sister and brother in vain, and she wanted to kick her grandfather away and raise them by herself. She opened the live broadcast room every day more punctually than her grandfather.
The demure and intelligent Zhen Mi was taken along to catch crabs, her eyes sparkling as she squeezed cat's-eye snails. No one told her girls shouldn't do these things, so she obediently followed, bucket in hand. The naive Mu Guiying, though unusually gifted in... military matters, was so logical and confident when she discussed military strategy that Xiaoqin was stunned. Then there were Huo Qubing, Zhuge Liang, Shangguan Wan'er, Li Qingzhao... and many others, all making Xiaoqin fully appreciate the joy of unearthing treasures.
So it's inevitable that I would want to know more about them.
[Okay, then...] Hewlett was just about to have everyone who joined chat with him privately so he could slowly sort out all the information, when someone suddenly spoke in the chat channel:
[Hey, the producer suddenly shut down the live broadcast rights for "Peach Blossom Spring"?]
When the beta testers heard this, they were immediately surprised and ran to see if it was true.
The author has something to say:
Note: The moonlight shines brightly before my bed, I wonder if it is frost on the ground.
