Chapter 47
The player is really angry.
How could he not be angry when a fairly expensive single-player game deliberately used such a trick to disgust him at the end?
After blowing up the island, the player tried to dive to the bottom of the sea, but failed, and he ran out of bombs.
But I'm still angry!
There was nothing he could do in the game, so the player simply quit the game, wrote a long and stern negative review about the incident, and gave it the lowest rating.
Regardless of the quality of the previous ones, the person who deliberately did this must be a malicious person on the part of the game production team, not to mention that this is a holographic remake.
He didn't believe that this was the original plot, because the farewell banquet was his request to the World Tree, and the original version probably didn't have this happening, so it was the World Tree taking revenge on him!
How abominable!
We have to find a way to get to the space where the World Tree is and chop it down!
In fact, the player doesn't like to encounter bugs when playing the game. He is really just an ordinary player who doesn't pay much attention to the plot. As for those magical operations in the game, aren't they basic operations of the player?
Just like when a player is running around with Linghua and stops in front of an NPC and hits him hard, will the player care about this? I don't think so.
When completing a mission, it is not uncommon to use Zhongli Pillars to block NPCs as they walk, or even try to push people onto the pillars.
That is to say, there is no escaping skills in the scientific world, and it is a holographic version, so this kind of situation is unlikely to occur, otherwise they will see a murderer running all over the map with a gun.
But bugs are different. Although they are also part of the fun of the players, except for some simple, interesting bugs or well-known bugs that are common among holographic games, players will not deliberately become a bug player.
Now the bugs are so severe that we regret not having enough of them.
Now there is only a disconnection from the Internet but no deserted planet. The modeling of the scientific world is particularly realistic. At least players have not encountered any problems with the modeling so far. It is very difficult to find the space where the world tree is located that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
The player was thinking hard, when suddenly an idea came to him.
He ran back to the official website that sold the game and saw that, as expected, like other holographic stand-alone games, it had opened up MOD permissions, which meant that players could create their own modules and load them directly into the game.
Players don’t even have to do it themselves. They can just copy and paste the data of a public universal MOD created by a gaming master and then modify it themselves.
A space age setting? And a mainstream mecha battle? Perfect, that's why the attack power is high.
At this time, the game customer service sent a message that the player cut a window and hung on the side.
The customer service attitude was very good: "Through the data records of the intelligent NPC world tree just now, we found that we have caused you a very bad gaming experience. We are very sorry."
Player: "Hmm."
The sea is too much of a nuisance, so delete it from the scene.
The customer service continued, "The reason for this incident is that the World Tree's intelligence is from the Humanoid series and does not have the human emotion module loaded. It thought that it would be enough to gather the NPCs at your farewell banquet like in the previous mission, but it did not expect the NPCs' actions to be so complicated, resulting in such a result."
Player: "Hmm."
Will you still blame NPCs?
In this scientific world, murders never stop happening all the time, and explosions are happening everywhere. The detectives are very busy, and the colleagues in the Black Organization are basically all monsters with health bars. In this simple environment, the World Tree is unexpected because there are no human emotions. Who would believe it?
Anyway, no matter what the customer service says now, players have no intention of listening.
The world tree must be found out and the existence of other dimensions must be banned.
Customer service: "We will give you a full refund. If you need, we will modify the ending and give you a perfect farewell party. Is that okay with you?"
Player: "It's not about the money."
After the simple and rough MOD modification is completed and imported into the game, the player closes the customer service dialog box and logs back into the game.
The world of science at this point is so different that even its mother can’t recognize it.
It has completely transformed from a steel and concrete city in the Blue Star era into an interstellar style.
The ground is covered with buildings, there are hovering vehicles suspended in the air, and there are giant trees that are so large that they almost cover the planet.
The World Tree suddenly appeared: "?"
Wait, isn’t He discussing things with the players in a friendly manner?
The World Tree is really in trouble. If it hadn't encountered the disaster of the Willpower Paimon Clock, which caused the laws of time to collapse and the world to be destroyed, it would not have digitized part of the world and then brought in players blessed by the Demon of Time to collect the Sands of Time.
There is no problem with this. Only He and the players have the ability to change the world from a data level, and the players are just playing the game.
Compared to saving the whole world, such a small matter as blowing up a few buildings was nothing, and their "cooperation" was very pleasant.
Therefore, the World Tree, which had been forced to force growth, now saw that the situation had finally calmed down and fell into a deep sleep with peace of mind, leaving only a little consciousness to interact with the players.
While he was sleeping, he was awakened by the explosion.
The island nation at the core of the source of the power of will has physically disappeared from the map!
All the people who were drawn by him as humanoid monsters with blood bars, from members of the Black Organization to various murderers who deserved to die, were all wiped out along with the island country, and not even their ashes could be found.
As for those who are classified as immune to damage NPCs, including most of the "popular characters", they are now soaking in the sea with confused looks on their faces.
The World Tree learned the cause and effect of the farewell party and finally understood what had happened.
But it is impossible to modify the laws to expel players now. Because of the Sands of Time incident, the players have a huge causal relationship with the world, and the World Tree must send the players away properly.
Besides, modifying the rules is no joke. He digitized the world after discovering the players, and then he made a desperate move to do so. It is not easy to change it back now.
Just when I was thinking about how to calm the players down, the scientific world suddenly turned into an interstellar scientific world, and I was pulled out of the other dimension.
In the air, as the player successfully landed, a pitch-black starship appeared. It was so huge that it blocked the light source, instantly plunging most of the planet into darkness.
Then, it aimed at the World Tree and launched an attack!
World Tree: “!!!”
The confused NPCs: "!!!"
After most of the world tree and most of the planet were turned into dust, the player finally vented his anger and opened a chat box with the game customer service.
The conversation still revolved around a message from customer service, asking him what compensation he wanted.
Player: "Please repeat your previous sentence."
I don't know why, but the customer service was much slower in responding this time, and I felt a sense of weakness.
Customer service: "…What other compensation do you want? We will definitely satisfy it if we can."
Player: "No, the one above."
customer service:"……"
Customer service: "We will give you a full refund. If you need, we will modify the ending and give you a perfect farewell party. Is that okay with you?"
Player: “Sure.”
The world tree disguised as a customer service successfully possessed human emotions. Now it is extremely complicated and wants to bury the player in the center of the earth - after venting its hatred, you are done, right? Why didn't you agree when it used its own laws to fight itself!
Did he find a savior or a big devil?
But in the end, the World Tree, which had shrunk so much that it wanted to overturn the table, finally agreed.
The cause and effect of saving the world, the blessing of the Demon of Time, and the sharing of the laws of the digitized world all make it impossible for him to deal with the players. If any problems arise again, he really can't handle it.
Just to clean up this mess now, He has to expend His original power to reverse time. But then again, if the player hadn't captured Paimon's Clock and allowed Him to gain the benefits of the laws of time, He wouldn't have the power to reverse the time of the entire world.
The world tree has mixed feelings.
The player was very happy after being unhappy about being cancelled. After reaching a consensus with customer service, the game went into a black screen with a line of text on it.
[The World Tree is reversing time...]
When the black screen ended, time went back to 8:30 when the players arrived at the farewell party.
He stood under the spotlight of the round platform in the center of the banquet hall. Below him was a crowd of police officers who had failed to capture Kidd. In front of him was still darkness where he could see the names of many NPCs.
The player looked around and nodded his head.
"Where's the sniper?"
After receiving the call from that gentleman, Chianti and Gin silently put away their sniper rifles and left the sniper point.
The player claps his palms.
"By the way, what other gems do you have?"
After successfully stealing the gem, Kidd hid in the crowd and sweat broke out. A white pigeon flew in front of the player, holding a gift box containing Pandora's gem.
The original owner of the gem, the wealthy daughter, tried to escape silently, but was knocked down in the corner by Conan with an anesthetic needle.
The player jumped off the stage, and the spotlight followed the player's footsteps very flexibly under Kidd's control. Everyone watched the player lift the tablecloth and look under the table.
"I remember there were bombs, right?"
The member of the black organization who brought the bomb in to install it was sweating profusely, and he went directly under the table where the player had lifted the tablecloth to find the bomb, and stuck to the bottom of the table in a magical posture, laughing uglier than crying:
"How could there be a bomb? No one would dare to plant a bomb at your farewell party, Lord Hennessy!"
Most of the people who could gather in this banquet hall were "plot characters", and those who knew about the Black Organization were shocked again.
——Code name! You called out his code name!
It's over. Will he pull out a bomb to blow up the island country? Or pull out a starship?
The member of the organization also realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and his face suddenly turned pale.
That's right, all NPCs, including the humanoid monsters that were wiped out by the player in one wave, have this bizarre memory after the time reversal, and they also deeply understand what kind of humanoid killer Jyouno Hisaji is.
Now everyone hopes that this farewell party can be held well and that Jyouno Hisaji can be sent away quickly!
The player didn't care about his code name being revealed. He had no intention of hiding his identity, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed into the Poirot Cafe and ordered Bourbon.
He looked around with satisfaction.
Yes, there is no risk of discord. This is what a farewell party should be like.
After talking to the NPCs one by one in a very ceremonial way, the player exclaimed from the bottom of his heart: "It's so fun to play the game!"
Those who managed to stay calm in front of the big devil and did not collapse, if they could check the favorability ratings, they would definitely be all negative, and they would be angry in their hearts saying: You are the only one who is happy, you bastard!
The player wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and said, "Saving the world is so tiring."
Crowd: What did you save, bastard!!!
No, if this guy doesn't destroy the world, wouldn't that mean he's saving the world?
They could only put on a flawless smile and praise the players.
Finally, the player also found Gin, who helped him a lot, and all the familiar NPCs gathered together to take a "happy ending" photo.
The game system also made this scene into a clearance CG for him at a very timely moment, and also added touching text.
The player exited the game contentedly and planned to take a rest. At this time, he was bombarded with messages from his friends.
Friend: "Fuck! Why aren't you moving?"
Friend: "You are not still playing games, are you? I have already bought the ticket and I am leaving, so get ready!"
Friend: "The Admiral is coming to inspect your galaxy! We can also participate in the military exercise, go and sign up, the competition is super fierce, all our mortal enemies are here!"
"Fuck! I'm coming!"
The player instantly forgot about the game.
That's his most admired idol!
He tried his best not only to get a place in the military performance, but also to get a good ranking that would allow him to stand in front of the admiral!
Before the tryouts start, start training now!
As for the game that was quietly added to the "Completed" list, the World Tree that was almost turned back into a seedling after being cleaned up, and the red and black teams in the game that were extremely complicated...
Maybe when players come back to check it out one day on a whim, it will be a completely new game.
【End of article】
Let's finish first.
This article was planned to be very short from the beginning, because I didn't want to write about a player's upgrade process from a novice to a full level, but wanted to write about the player's self-perceived normal behavior that was actually very creative. But if I write too much, it will feel repetitive, and I don't have that much inspiration at the end. Fortunately, I finished it according to the outline and it landed smoothly.
There should be no extra chapters, I really don't have any inspiration (Pah)
Thank you for your interest! Hope to meet you again in the future!
Please give me a rating for the end!
