Chapter 113: Mission Impossible Mission Impossible [And Infernal Affairs...
"Our Love Diary" officially started the game session on the second day after the guests arrived.
Chaoyang City's large-scale, real-life theme town with an ancient style is about to open to the public. The fastest way to increase its popularity is to invite celebrities to visit. The program "Our Love Diary" is live-filmed here, allowing viewers to appreciate the town's interior from the guests' perspective and experience the fun at the same time.
The current real-life NPCs in this town are specially invited extras with certain acting experience. Each person has his or her own story line, and many story lines converge together, giving it a strong sense of authenticity.
When the town is officially open to the public, every tourist who wants to come in and play can draw an identity card and perform role-playing according to the key information on the identity card.
Currently, all real-life NPCs in the town serve the story lines of the ten guests.
“It’s a bit like playing a holographic game.”
"It's still different. Although the characteristics of game NPCs may change randomly, they are still inseparable from the basic settings. But people are different. Settings are settings, but she will freely play with them."
The game progress needs to be unlocked step by step. The ultimate goal on Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng's identity cards is to help the Crown Princess become the Queen.
This is a chaotic era. Imperial power and aristocratic families coexist, and both want to be the one who controls the world. At the same time, there are also the Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor with ulterior motives and ulterior motives. The Jingzhao Yin, who is in charge of the security of the imperial city, has a close personal relationship with the chief of the palace guards and has other purposes. The Taoist priest who is most trusted by the empress sends pills one by one. The empress looks radiant, but only her chief imperial physician knows that she is actually weak inside.
The five camps each have their own thoughts, and as for their ultimate goal, only they themselves know.
The representatives of the aristocratic families—Cheng Sijin, the head of the first aristocratic family, and Zhu Ping'an, the editor of the Hanlin Academy—watched Zhou Yan cheerfully donning his cyan Taoist robe. Yu Ting, standing beside him, stroked his green imperial physician's uniform, "This is such an exquisite garment."
The director said off-camera: "This was prepared by Chaoyang City itself. The clothes for each character are specially customized." As he spoke, he pointed the camera at the NPC's clothes. It was indeed not the kind of crudely made assembly line clothes, which invisibly promoted Chaoyang City.
As the Prime Minister, Qingfanghao looked at the Grand Tutor Yu Yiqi, who was dressed neatly and solemnly, which made Yu Yiqi seem serious and upright, a thing he didn't usually have. Qingfanghao felt a slight ripple in her heart.
Lu Xingmian, the Jingzhao Yin who governs the capital, has a gentle smile, looking like a naughty boy who can be bullied by anyone. The chief of the palace guards, Gu Xingchui, habitually has a sour face, and it is obvious that he is not someone to be messed with.
At this point, everyone has successfully assumed their own identity.
When the game starts, you start looking for clues to advance the plot, achieve your goal as soon as possible, and successfully win the game.
The wonderful thing about the script of "No Joy and Hate" is that you can get a clue from each NPC. The lines are like pieces of a puzzle. They are not obvious alone, but only when they are put together can you understand. Oh~ so this is the story.
Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng ran around for a whole day, analyzing all the clues together and extracting key information.
"The Crown Princess' biological father wasn't the current Imperial Husband. He was a farmer whom the Empress married when she was still the Crown Princess. The Empress loved him dearly and, against all odds, made him the legitimate ruler. Later, this former Imperial Husband was instigated to assassinate the Empress and was executed by the Empress. His daughter was then given to the new Imperial Husband to raise."
"The Queen had several daughters and sons, but she still made her ex-husband's daughter the Crown Princess because she felt that the Crown Princess was very similar to herself when she was young."
"The general and the crown princess grew up together and have a deep bond. The crown princess has always aspired to bring peace and prosperity to the land, a goal that resonates perfectly with the general, and he has successfully secured the support of the military authority."
"The Crown Princess is trying to gain the support of the civil service, but their attitude is ambiguous and they seem to be closer to the aristocratic families."
"The aristocratic families prefer a puppet emperor who is easy to control. They don't want a princess with her own opinions like the Crown Princess to take the throne."
"The aristocratic families and the Crown Princess are at a stalemate. The Empress seems to want to watch the fight from afar and reap the benefits."
"From the clues we've gathered, the Queen appears to be in good health, but she's actually at the end of her rope."
Qiao Zhizheng concluded, "We don't have much time left. We now have two options. One, ally with the Jingzhao Yin to control the imperial city. Once the empress dies, we can immediately take the throne. As for the aristocratic families, we can deal with them later. Two, find a way to gain their support and smoothly ascend to the throne."
The game is a faction war, but factions can also unite. The premise of faction uniting is to know the ultimate goal of each faction and use the ultimate goal to restrain the cooperative faction and achieve a win-win situation.
The camp of the chief guard of Jingzhao Yin is obviously easier to deal with than the camp of the aristocratic families. Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng are the first to approach Gu Xingchui and Lu Xingmian to discuss cooperation.
However, in the process of searching for them, new clues were discovered. The identity of Jingzhao Yin was the empress's son who was left outside, the one in the palace was a fake prince, and this one was the real prince.
After Qiao Zheng found Lu Xingmian's subtle probing, she discovered that they were still unaware of this clue. Instead, she found out their mission targets - the captain of the guards was guilty, and the Jingzhao Yin was poisoned by the empress, and needed to take the medicine sent by the empress on a regular basis every month. Both of them were controlled by the empress, and their greatest wish was to detoxify themselves, get rid of their guilt, and stay away from the turbulent imperial city to find a place to live in peace.
Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng exchanged glances, smiled simultaneously, and tacitly exploited the information gap to deceive: "Let's cooperate."
"We can lie to the noble families that you are the prince who was exiled to the common people during the empress's early years, and let them become your helpers in fighting for the throne."
Lu Xingmian pointed at himself, his face full of confusion: "Ah? Me? Me?"
Gu Xingchui folded his arms: "The noble families are not stupid, how could they believe it so easily?"
Qiao Zhizheng: "The Queen did have a son who lived among the common people in her early years, but he is now dead. Others don't know that he is dead. You can take his place."
Lu Xingmian shook his head: "Our mission objective is not... um... related to this."
Lu Xingmian didn't intend to directly state his mission objectives.
Qiao Zheng, who had guessed their mission objective, lowered her eyes. "You don't need to actually ascend the throne. We will reveal your identities at the critical moment. Although I don't know your mission objective, I feel that the results of our cooperation can indirectly help you achieve your mission objective."
Gu Xingchui and Lu Xingmian were silent for a long time. Finally, Gu Xingchui spoke first: "Okay, we will consider it."
Qiao Zheng nodded: "Okay, let's continue looking for new clues. Tell me when you have any results."
Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng turned around and went out, and as soon as they went out, the two began to discuss.
"They will agree to our proposal."
"Next, we should look for the aristocratic family camp."
【???】
Didn't they want to cooperate with the Jingzhao Yin camp? Why are they looking for the Aristocratic Family camp again?
[I guess they want to make preparations for both situations]
How could I suspect they were trying to sow discord by forming alliances?
Don't doubt it, it's like this.
[Not only them, other factions also do this]
[It’s so cool to have a God’s perspective, watching them play Mission Impossible Mission Impossible]
[There is also the Infernal Affairs of the Road]
You trick me and I trick you, both of us treating each other like fools.
Ten of them combined have at least eight thousand evil intentions. The sky is about to be pierced by them.
[Lu Xingmian looked like an honest and easy-to-deceive person, but he turned out to be a black-hearted person]
Although Sister Qiao and Sister Qiao didn't discover their disguise, it's a good idea to be prepared for both scenarios.
[Sure enough, the game is meant to be played by smart people. I watched them fool this person and then that person, taking advantage of the information gap. I followed them and felt like I had become an extremely smart person.]
【I just want to know who wins this game in the end】
[No matter who wins, I've already been successfully recommended by this game.]
[Thank you Amway, I have already reserved the first wave of Chaoyang City tour spots]
If I can become one of the ten core players, I believe that with my intelligence and talent, I will be able to achieve the mission goal as quickly as possible.
[I've called my good friends, each of them will occupy a core player position and prepare a strategy. Then you can watch me clear the level as quickly as possible.]
You all want to play the core player position, but I'm different. I want to be the one painting candy on the street. I see she's already eaten several candy sticks.
The guy selling toys is playing with them all the time.
The owner of that clothing store, no, here it should be called a ready-to-wear store, is trying on clothes and walking the runway.
Isn't the NPC at the knitting stall the funniest? The stall is full of exquisitely woven pieces, and he's sitting behind it knitting them, making such a mess that he even got his own sleeves woven into them. Now he's asking the owner of the next stall to help him untie them.
[Why am I not the NPC for such a fun role?]
[Finished! I really fell in love with this live-action role-playing game]
【I really want to play, I really want to play, I really want to play! 】
I'm already looking forward to it.
Qiao Zheng and Qiao Zhizheng tricked Cheng Sijin into wishing her peace again, but she was fooled by them at the same time.
Carrying a bunch of clues, some true and some false, I unknowingly saw the sunset spread out on the spacious blue brick avenue, with long shadows in front and a city with an ancient atmosphere behind.
At the end of the day, I was tired, but my spirit was extremely excited because of the intensive thinking.
"It's a pity that the production team doesn't allow us to access outside information, otherwise I would know the progress of other groups."
Qiao Zheng raised an eyebrow: "Is this true?"
Qiao Zhizheng raised her eyebrows, drooped her eyes, and deliberately curled her lips. "I knew I couldn't fool you. Well, the game is really the most interesting when you explore it step by step. If the story is spoiled in advance, it will not be fun anymore."
Qiao Zheng smiled, her eyes and brows covered with a fluffy golden light in the sunset.
As Qiao Zheng was walking, she suddenly realized that the person next to her was a few steps behind.
Qiao Zheng was about to turn back when she heard Qiao Zhizheng say, "Don't look back."
A series of rapid running sounds were heard.
The body reacted before the brain, and the knees bent subconsciously to stabilize the chassis. The next second after completing this action, a soft body pounced straight up, and was caught steadily by Qiao Zheng, who was prepared, and carried on his back.
Qiao Zhizheng rested his head on Qiao Zheng's shoulder, speaking close to her neck. Seeing Qiao Zheng subconsciously tilt her head due to her sensitive skin, he gave her a mischievous smile, "I suddenly remembered that I don't seem to have carried you much. You should carry me more."
Qiao Zheng: "Isn't this good?"
Qiao Zhizheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Yeah, there's nothing wrong with this."
They are born the same, but as they grow, they gradually develop subtle differences.
Qiao Zheng likes to be relied upon, and likes the feeling of being deeply needed by Qiao Zhizheng. Qiao Zhizheng understands her and Qiao Zhizheng depends on her.
The setting sun cast long shadows on them.
The sunset in the sky was so beautiful, and dusk fell into twilight as they returned.
Tomorrow will be another sunny day.
